For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, Gross Income from lodging will include only Room revenues derived from the use of Rooms in the Resort Hotel, but it shall not include any revenues, fees or commissions from booking at the Resort Hotel of a room at a hotel other than the Resort Hotel; Gross Income from food and beverage sales will be limited to income from food and beverages served or delivered at or from the Improvements and Premises; Gross Income from Meeting Space usage will be limited to revenue from the use of Meeting Space located within the Improvements and Premises; and Gross Income from retail sales will be limited to revenues from the sales of goods that are delivered at the Improvements or for which the purchaser pays at the Improvements.
Without limitation of the foregoing, Gross Income shall be construed to include, without limitation, the entire amount of the actual sales price (including all finance charges received or paid by a Tenant Party or Hotel Operator) of all sale s, rentals, leases and licenses or for other transfer of merchandise or services, and other receipts whatsoever, including, without limitation, agency sales and all mail, catalogue, computer, facsimile, telephone, telecommunication, electronic and other orders filled, transmitted or received through any media. Gross Income shall include any manufacturer’s or importer’s excise tax included in the prices of the goods sold, even though the manufacturer or importer is also the retailer thereof, whether or not the amount of such excise tax is stated as a separate charge.
(b) Exclusions. Refunds for goods returned shall be deducted from current Gross Income upon their return. Bad debt losses shall not be deducted from Gross Income. Gross Income shall not include any of the following:
(i) sales of United States postage;
(ii) any sales or transient occupancy tax payable by Tenant or a Tenant Party to any Governmental Authority as a direct result of operations under this Lease; provided that the amount of such taxes is shown on the books and records elsewhere herein required to be maintained;
(iii) gratuities; provided that the customer voluntarily determines the amount of said gratuity to be paid, or the customer is aware that Tenant or a Tenant Party has added a pre -established grat uity to the charge for the services rendered and said additional amount is segregated and identified as a gratuity on the billing to the customer;

(v) any Parking Revenue;
(vi) any rent received by Tenant from any Subtenant pursuant to the applicable Sublease, which does not include percentage of Gross Income collected by Tenant from Subtenant pursuant to Section 5.4.1. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that Tenant will pay to Landlord Percentage Rent in an amount equal to the applicable Percentage Rent Rate times the Gross Income with respect to the applicable category set forth in Section 5.4.1 without regard to the amount of rent that such Subtenant actually pays to Tenant. For illustration purposes and by way o f example, if a Subtenant sells a passage ticket for $100, then Tenant will pay Landlord Six Dollars ($6.00) even if such Subtenant pays more or less in rent in connection therewith to Tenant;
(vii) interest received or accrued with respect to the funds in any repair and replacement reserve required to be maintained under a Hotel Management Agreement; provided that such interest is required to be credited to the reserve; (viii) any refunds, rebates, discounts and credits of a similar nature that are given, paid or returned in the course of obtaining Revenue or components thereof, which will be deducted from the Gross Income for the period in which such Revenue was earned; provided, however, that if any such refund, rebate, discount or credit is given, paid or returned, a s applicable, after such period, then the amount of Gross Income, Percentage Rent and Greater of Rent for the affected period will be recalculated, and Landlord shall promptly credit Tenant any overpayment of the Greater of Rent against the next installment of Greater of Rent; or (ix) any insurance proceeds, Condemnation proceeds or any proceeds from a sale of the Improvements (or any portion thereof) or any refinancing of the Development (or any portion thereof) other than the Tenant’s Phase 1A Improvements.

(d) Failure to Maintain Records . Tenant shal l use commercially reasonable efforts to keep, or cause to be kept, each Tenant Record for a period of seven (7) years after the date the Tenant Record was created and to make each Tenant Record available for inspection by Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof.

26 US-DOCS\114405603.84

5.5.1 Additional Rent Example Calculation.
For the purpose of this Additional Rent example calculatio n only, the variables are as follows:
AR = Additional Rent
MIF = Management Incentive Fee
a = Additional Rent Percentage
b = Maximum Incentive Fee Percentage
c = Incentive Fee Hurdle
d = Additional Rent Hurdle
LNR = Landlord Net Revenue (Net Operating Income without deducting MIF) ONR = Operator Net Revenue (Net Operating Income without deducting AR) AR = a(LNR - b(ONR - c) - d)
1-ab
Assuming that the Net Operating Income for a year is $100 million, the Additional Rent will be calculated as follows:
AR = 6% ($100M - 20% ($100M - $75.68M) - $86.35M)
1 – (6% x 20%)
AR = 6% ($100M - 20% x $24.32M - $86.35M)
1-.012
AR = 6% ($100M - $4.864M - $86.35M)
.988
AR = 6% x $8.786M
.988
AR = $0.527M
.988
AR = $533.56 Thousand
5.6 Late Charges.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. In the event Tenant has not paid the Rent due in
30 US-DOCS\114405603.84
accordance with the provisions of this Lease, within three (3) Business Days from when the Rent is due, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the unpaid Rent, five percent (5%) of the Rent due (“Late Charges”). The Parties hereby agree that said Late Charges are supplemental Rent and are not interest and that the Late Charges apply whether or not Tenant receives notice of its failure to pay Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Late Charge be less than One Hundred Dollars ($100). Acceptance by Landlord of any Late Charge or the late payment of any Rent or any portion thereof shall in no event constitute a waiver of an Event of Default with respect to such overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies hereunder. In addition to the application of a Late Ch arge, if Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due, then the unpaid Rent amount shall accrue interest at the Default Rate from the date due until paid, and such interest shall constitute supplemental Rent.

Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.7, Tenant acknowledges that the Rent will be absolutely net of any costs or expenses to Landlord relating to Premises or any Improvements and acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for any costs, charges, expenses and outlays of any nature whatsoever arising from or relating to the Premises or any Improvements during the Term, whether foreseen or unforeseen and whether or not within the contemplation of the Parties as of the Commencement Date, except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.

6.1 Construction of the Resort Hotel and Parking Improvements.
6.1.1 Commencement and Completion of the Resort Hotel.
Following the Commencement Date, but not later than the Outside Construction Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence the construction of the Resort Hotel.

Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that said Construction Late Charges constitute supplemental Rent under the Lease and not interest. The Parties further agree that the Construction Late Charges apply whether or not Tenant receives notice of its failure to Complete the Resort Hotel or Parking Improvements, and that said Construction Late Charges are appropriate to compensate the City, Landlord, the Spec ial Tax District and the JEPA. The Landlord agrees that such Construction Late Charges are its sole compensation and remedy for the failure to construct the Resort Hotel or the Parking Improvements by the Original Outside Construction Completion Date, inc luding any loss resulting from the loss of revenues that Landlord would have received if the Resort Hotel and Parking Improvements had been Completed by the Original Outside Construction Completion Date (as extended in accordance herewith).
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, as and to the extent provided in the next sentence, there will be an Event of Default for the failure to complete the Resort Hotel and Parking Improvements if (a) Tenant fails to Complete the Resort Hotel and Parking Improvements by the date that is three hundred sixty -five (365) days after the Outside Construction Completion Date (the “Extended Construction Period Deadline”) (as extended as a result of a Force Majeure Event) ("Late Completion") and (b) either (i) without limiting Section

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if Late Completion occurs an d any Post-Late Completion Failure occurs, then Landlord may declare an Event of Default for the failure to Complete the Resort Hotel and Parking Improvements, and such Event of Default shall constitute a cross -default under the Convention Center Sublease and the Project Implementation Agreement, if Tenant does not cure its Post-Late Completion Failure within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional cure periods under Article 12 herein. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the payment of Construction Late Charges does not constitute an exclusive remedy for any Event of Default under this Lease or Event of Default under the Project Implementation Agreement for failure to Complete the Resort Hotel a nd Parking Improvements, in the case of the Lease, and the Convention Center, in the case of the Project Implementation Agreement.

6.5.5 Notice and Acceptance Requirement.
Tenant shall notify Landlord of a Force Majeure Event in writing within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant learns of, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after commencement of, such Force Majeure Event. Such notice (the “ Initial Force Majeure Notice ”) must be made in good faith and describe the Force Majeure Event creating delay, why such delay is occurring, the estimated expected duration of such delay, and the commercially reasonable efforts that Tenant is taking to minimize the period of delay. Commencing on the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of the Initial Force Majeure Notice and for so long as the Force Majeure Event or the actual collateral effects of such Force Majeure Event exist (whichever is later), Tenant shall provide to Landlord monthly written updates on the estimated expected duration of such delay and the commercially reasonable efforts that Tenant is taking to minimize the period of delay. Within thirty (30) days after the Force Majeure Event or the actual collateral effects of such Force Majeure Event cease to exist (whichever is later), Tenant shall notify Landlord in w riting that the Force Majeure Event and the actual collateral effects of such Force Majeure Event, as applicable, have ceased to exist and of the number of days by which Force Majeure Event (including the actual collateral effects of such Force Majeure Eve nt) has delayed Completion of the Resort Hotel, Completion of the Parking Improvements, or Hotel Operator’s operation of the Improvements (excluding Existing Improvements), as applicable (the “Force Majeure Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Force Majeure Notice, Landlord shall provide notice to Tenant (“Force Majeure Response”) that either Landlord (a) requires additional information to make a determination regarding Tenant’s assertion of the existence of a Force Majeure Even t or the duration of the delay caused by the Force Majeure Event or the actual collateral effects of such Force Majeure Event, (b) approves the Force Majeure Notice, or (c) denies some or all of the Force Majeure Notice.

If the BPC denies the Force Majeure Notice, then the dispute shall be resolved by a cou rt of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non -appealable decision that the putative Force Majeure Event that was described in such Force Majeure Notice did not constitute a Force Majeure Event, the duratio n of such delay in the Completion of the Resort Hotel, Completion of the Parking Improvements or operation of the Improvements (excluding Existing Improvements), as applicable, specified therein was not reasonable, or the efforts that Tenant took to minimi ze the period of delay were not commercially reasonable, then, as Landlord’s sole and exclusive remedy for Tenant’s failure to perform any obligation under this Lease from which Tenant claimed to be excused as a result of such Force Majeure Event, but was not excused, Tenant shall make Landlord whole for any loss that Landlord suffered as a result of such failure.

44 US-DOCS\114405603.84
reasonable discretion (such obligations of Tenant, “ Tenant’s Standalone Convention Center Obligations”).

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, if (a) the Redevelopment Plan is not submitted by Tenant during or before the fifty-fifth (55th) Lease Year in accordance with Section 6.10, or (b) there is an early termination of this Lease by Tenant or due to an Event of Default, or (c) Tenant fails to implement the Redevelopment Plan approved by the BPC prior to the end of the sixty-third (63rd) Lease Year, then, within thirty (30) days after the early termination of this Lease or any time after the end of the sixty-third (63rd) Lease Year, as may be applicable, Landlord may notify Tenant in writing of what Private Improvements and public and private utilities on the Hotel Land and/or the Parking Premises Landlord in its sole discretion requires Tenant to demolish and remove (such notice is referred to herein as the “ Landlord End of Term Election ”). Unless Landlord has previously delivered to Tenant the Landlord End of Term Election, not later than one (1) year before the Expiration Date or within sixty (60) days after the earlier termination of this Lease, as applicable, Tenant shall request in writing from Landlord the Landlord End of Term El ection. If Landlord has not provided the Landlord End of Term Election within thirty (30) days thereafter, the same shall be deemed to be an election by Landlord for all Private Improvements to remain upon and be surrendered with the Hotel Land and the Parking Premises, and title to such Private Improvements shall vest in Landlord in accordance with Section 7.1 and Article 23 (but Tenant shall remain responsible for any remedial work that may be required in accordance with Section 21.3). If Landlord provides to Tenant the Landlord End of Term Election in accordance with this Section 7.2, then Tenant shall demolish and remove all of the Private Improvements set forth in such Landlord End of Term El ection, perform all remedial work in connection therewith pursuant to Section 21.3 and obtain all permits that are required to perform such work, by t he Expiration Date (but not earlier than six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date) or, in the event of an early termination of this Lease, by the date that is ninety (90) days after Tenant receives all of the permits that are required for Tenant to perf orm such work (“ Early Termination Date ”); provided that Tenant shall seek to obtain all of such permits in a diligent manner and provide Landlord with copies of such permits upon receipt by Tenant.

If Tenant does not make Tenant’s Demolition Election or if Landlord provides to Tenant the Landlord End of Term Election with respect to fewer than all of the Private Improvements, then Tenant shall not demolish and remove any Improvements that Tenant is not required to demolish, and, if any of the Improvements that Tenant or Landlord elect not to be demolished are not in full compliance
45 US-DOCS\114405603.84
with Article 15, then (subject to Tenant’s Standalone Convention Center Obligations, if applicable) Landlord may require, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, that such Improvements be modified to a state and condition which complies with Article 15.

If Tenant’s demolition and removal work and remediation work is not completed by the Expiration Date or, in the event of an early termination of this Lease, by the Early Termination Date, then the terms of Article 26 regarding Rent payable during holdover shall apply. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 7 to the contrary, if (i) Tenant has made Tenant’s Demolition Election, or (ii) Landlord has provided the Landlord End of Term Election other than because of an early termination of this Lease by Tenant or due to an Event of Default, and/or (iii) Tenant is required to perform remediation work pursuant to Section 21.3, and, in each case, the Demolition and Remediation Report indicates that the time period for completion of such demolition and removal work and/or remediation work is estimated to be greater than six (6) months, then Tenant shall commence such demolition and removal work and/or remediation work sufficiently prior to the Expiration Date so that such demolition and removal work and/or remediation work is anticipated to be completed no later than the Expiration Date (for example, if the estimated removal period is ten (10) months, then Tenant shall commence such work at least ten (10) months prior to the end of the Term).

For purposes of this Section 10.1.3 and for sake of clarity, the term “loan” does not include an obligation by a Pledgor to reimburse MICC (or an Affiliate thereof) for payments made pursuant to a Permitted Loan Guaranty.

10.2 Definition of “Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance”, “Pe rmitted Equity Financing Encumbrance”, “Permitted Financing Encumbrance”; “Permitted Mortgage Lender”, and “Permitted Lender”.
Each mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument securing Tenant’s payment and performance in connection with the Financing Transaction by a Permitted Mortgage Lender that is consented to by Landlord is a “ Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance”. Any security agreement, pledge agreement or similar instrument or agreement that creates any security
54 US-DOCS\114405603.84
interest in the Mezzanine Interests securing Tenant’s or Pledgor’s payment and performance in connection with any Financing Transaction provided by a Permitted Mezzanine Lender (including MICC or its Affiliate) that is consented to by Landlord is a “ Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance” (together with the Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance, “ Permitted Financing Encumbrance”). The term “ Permitted Mortgage Lender” means any lender that is approved by Landlord pursuant to Sections 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 and that is a party to a Financ ing Transaction for a Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance made in accordance with this Lease.
Landlord’s consent shall not be required for an assignment or transfer of indebtedness secured by a Permitted Financing Encumbrance, where the terms and conditi ons of the Permitted Financing Encumbrance are not changed or modified in a manner for which Tenant must obtain Landlord’s consent under Section 10.6.3. The term “ Permitted Lender” means each Permitted Mortgage Lender and each Permitted Mezzanine Lender, or any one thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder of indebtedness that is secured by any Financing Transaction, but that is not a Permitted Mortgage Lender because it is not a party to a Financing Transaction (i.e., the holder of some or all of the indebtedness that is secured by a Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance in favor of an agent that holds collateral as security for such indebtedness) need not be approved by Landlord, and may assign or transfer such indebtedness without Landlord’s consent o r approval, but shall not be a Prohibited Person.
10.3 Rights of Permitted Lender.
10.3.1 Voluntary Lease Surrender.
So long as a Permitted Financing Encumbrance remains outstanding, Landlord will not accept the voluntary surrender, cancellation, or termination of t his Lease by Tenant before the Term expires, unless each Permitted Lender with an outstanding Permitted Financing Encumbrance provides prior written consent thereto.

If there is more than one Permitted Mortgage Lender, then Landlord shall only be required to recognize the cure rights of the Permitted Mortgage Lender (whether such cure rights are exercised by such Permitted Mortgage Lender or its Designated Nominee) that has been most recently designated as authorized to exercise cure rights by the Permitted Mortgage Lender with the earliest recorded Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance that has not been reconveyed (the “Senior Permitted Mortgage Lender”); and if there is more than one Permitted Mezzanine Lender, then Landlord shall only be required to recognize the cure rights of the Permitted Mezzanine Lender (whether such cure rights are exercised by such Permitted Mezzanine Lender or its Designated Nominee) that has been most recently designated as authorized to exercise cure rights by the Permitted Mezzanine Lender with the earliest filed Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance that has not been released (the “Senior Permitted Mezzanine Lender”; and, together with Senior Permitted Mortgage Lender, a “Senior Permitted Lender”).

(b) Possession Required. If the default or Event of Default specified in the applicable Cure Period Trigger Notice cannot be cured until the applicable Senior Permitted Lender has obtained possession of the Premises (or, in the case of a Senior Permitted Mezzanine Lender, contro l of Tenant) through foreclosure or otherwise, and if a Permitted Lender has delivered to Landlord, within ninety (90) days following its receipt of the Cure Period Trigger Notice (or, in the case of a Senior Permitted Mortgage Lender, sixty (60) days afte r the applicable Permitted Mezzanine Lender Failure Notice (defined below) if a Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance existed at the time of the applicable Event of Default), such Senior Permitted Lender’s written intent (in a form approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to use diligent efforts to cure (or to cause Tenant to cure) such Event of Default with due diligence upon obtaining possession of the Premises (or, in the case of a Senior Permitted Mezzanine Lender, control of Tenant) through foreclosure or otherwise, then

57 US-DOCS\114405603.84
of the Premises or, in the case of an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, control of Tenant. All monetary obligations and all non -monetary obligations that are not Incurable Defaults shall still be performed as required under this Lease, subject, in the case of non-monetary obligations, to the extended cure periods set forth in this Section 10.3.2. In no event shall nuisance or waste caused by Tenant’s failure to use the Premises and the Improvements in accordance with the Permitted Use or failure to con struct, operate and maintain the Premises and Improvements in accordance with the requirements of this Lease be an Incurable Default. Each Permitted Lender acknowledges and agrees that it is the sole responsibility of each Permitted Lender to remain apprised of the condition of the Tenant and the Premises at all times and Landlord shall have no obligation to any Permitted Lender to provide any notice to Permitted Lender regarding the condition of the Tenant or the Premises except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Each Permitted Lender agrees to coordinate in good faith with each other Permitted Lender when executing its respective rights and obligations under this Section 10.3.2. (c) No Termination by Landlord . Landlord shall not terminate this Lease by reason of an Event of Default if Landlord has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 10.3 or if any Permitted Lender (i) is curing or has cured all Events of Defaults under this Lease in the payment of Rent within the time frames provided in Section 10.3.2(a)(i) above, and (ii) has cured all other Events of Default within the time frames provided in Sections 10.3.2(a)(ii) and 10.3.2(b), other than any Incurable Default.

The notice shall include a statement of all Rent that would be due under this Lease but for the termination hereof or the rejection of this Lease, as applicable, and all other Events of Default, or breaches under this Lease, that are then known to Landlord, without the duty of inquiry; provided that in no event shall such notice prevent or estop La ndlord from asserting other breaches under this Lease or Events of Default that become known to Landlord after the time the notice is sent to the Permitted Lender. The Permitted Mortgage Lender or any Permitted Mezzanine Lender or SPE Lender Affiliate nomi nated by the first priority Permitted Mortgage Lender (a “ New Tenant”) shall then have the option, to be exercised within seventy - five (75) days following receipt of such notice of termination or rejection, as applicable, to enter into a new lease (“ New Lease”) with Landlord (the period of time during which any Permitted Lender may require a New Lease, the “New Lease Period”), in each case, on the following terms and conditions:
(i) The New Lease shall commence as of the date of the termination or rejection of this Lease, as applicable, and shall be for the remainder of the Term, and at the Rent, terms, covenants, and conditions as this Lease.
(ii) Upon execution of the New Lease, the New Tenant shall pay any and all sums that would at the time of execution thereof be due under this Lease, but for termination, and shall pay all expenses, costs, attorneys’ fees, court costs, and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any default and termination of this Lease, recovery of possession of the Premises, and the execution, preparation and delivery of the New Lease. (iii) Upon execution of the New Lease, the New Tenant shall cure all other defaults under this Lease, which have not yet been cured (other than any Incurable Default),
58 US-DOCS\114405603.84
with due diligence in a timely manne r in accordance with the cure periods under the Lease assuming such cure periods commence with the execution of the New Lease and without additional notice (provided that Landlord has already provided such notice of such default to New Tenant).
(iv) Nothing her ein shall be construed to require Landlord to deliver possession of the Premises to the New Tenant. Upon execution and delivery of the New Lease, the New Tenant may take any and all appropriate actions as may be necessary to remove parties in possession fr om the Premises. Landlord shall not grant any real property interest in the Premises during the seventy-five (75) day period set forth in Section 10.3.2(d). (v) The sublessee under each Sublease shall be deemed to have agreed that each sublessee whose Sublease was in effect immediately prior to the execution of such New Lease shall, on the date of its execution or the commencement of its term, whichever is later, pursuant to its Sublease, attorn to the New Tenant and the New Tenant shall accept such attornment of each Sublease which was entered into in compliance with the terms hereof; provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to require the same of sublessee and shall have no liability to New Tenant resulting from the failure of any sublessee to comply wi th this Section 10.3.2(d)(v).
(vi) The New Lease shall have the same priority as this Lease as of the date hereof.
(vii) Concurrently with entering into a New Lease, New Tenant shall also enter into a “New Sublease” in accordance with the Convention Center Sublease a nd a “ New Agreement” in accordance with the applicable mortgagee protection agreement entered into for the benefit of such Permitted Lenders in connection with the Project Implementation Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing, in the event that a New Te nant enters into a New Sublease and a “New Agreement” in accordance with the Convention Center Sublease and such mortgagee protection agreement described in clause (vii) above, respectively, such New Tenant shall be entitled to a New Lease in accordance with this Section 10.3.2(d) and this Lease shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such New Lease.
During such seventy-five (75) day period and thereafter if the Permitted Lender designated to exercise the cure rights under Section 10.3.2(a) timely accepts such offer of a New Lease until the termination or expiration of such New Lease, ownership of the Improvements shall not vest in Landlord. Upon the effectiveness of such New Lease, any Incurable Defaults under this Lease shall be deemed to be permanently waived.
Should neither the Permitted Lender designated to exercise the cure rights under Section
10.3.2(a) nor its Designated Nominee accept said offer for such New Lease in writing within said seventy-five (75) day period or, having so accepted said offer , should it fail promptly to execute the New Lease or satisfy the requirements of clauses (ii) and (iii) above in a timely manner, then the termination of this Lease shall be effective as to all of the Permitted Lenders and the Permitted Lenders shall have no further rights hereunder.
Furthermore, if the first priority Permitted Mortgage Lender nominates a Permitted Mezzanine Lender or an SPE Lender Affiliate that is affiliated with a Permitted Mezzanine Lender to receive the New Lease, then the New Tenant may, concurrently or promptly after receipt of the New Lease, enter into a new Financing Transaction with the Permitted Mortgage Lender(s) and
59 US-DOCS\114405603.84
any permitted Mezzanine Lender on substantially the same terms as those of the Financing Transaction(s) in place immediately prior to termination of this Lease (but with modifications, as necessary, to reflect the New Lease and the new identity of the tenant) and the Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance of the first priority Permitted Mortgage Lender shall continue as a lien on the leasehold estate created pursuant to such New Lease with the same priority of such Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance on the leasehold created by this Lease. The security interest on the New Lease granted in connection with such Financing Transaction will be a Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance, and any security interest granted by a Pledgor in connection with any such Financing Transaction will be a Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance. It is the intent of this provision to permit the Permitted Lender(s) that do not receive a New Lease (but who are in effect senior to the Permitted Lender receiving (or whose SPE Lender Affiliate receives) the New Lease) to be in the same position in which they would have been had no Lease terminati on occurred. The New Tenant will provide to Landlord notice of any such Financing Transaction, together with copies of documents evidencing such Financing Transaction and redlines against the previously existing documents evidencing the Financing Transacti on that is, in effect, being continued.
The provisions of this Section 10.3.2(d) shall and are expressly intended to survive a termination or rejection of this Lease in the manner set forth in this Section 10.3.2(d) to permit the New Tenant the right to ex ercise the option to enter into New Lease in accordance with this Section 10.3.2(d).
10.3.3 Loan Default.
If a Permitted Financing Encumbrance or any loan secured by a Permitted Financing Encumbrance is in default at any time, then the Permitted Lender shall, as provided by Law, have the right, without Landlord’s prior consent, to perform the following, provided that the Permitted Lender exercises such rights as to the whole of Permitted Lender’s interest in the Lease, the Convention Center Sublease, the Project Implementation Agreement and, in the case of a Permitted Mezzanine Lender, Tenant:

Landlord will grant such consent if in Landlord’s reasonable determination the following items have been satisfied:
(a) The assignee is reputable (which shall mean the absence of reputations for dishonesty, criminal conduct, or association with criminal elem ents – “reputable” shall not mean “prestigious”, nor shall the determination of whether one is reputable involve considerations of personal taste or preference) and has no pattern of, or reputation for, either discriminatory employment practices which violate any Laws or non-compliance with applicable Environmental Laws;
61 US-DOCS\114405603.84

Landlord’s decision shall be based upon Landlord’s high duty of care in administering a valuable public resource, which it holds in trust for the people of the State of California. In the absence of fraud or arbitrary or unreasonable action in applying or failing to apply said standards, Landlord’s decision shall be final.
10.4.3 If Landlord Rejects Lease Transferee
(a) Judicial Reference. In the event Landlord rejects: (i) the Foreclosure Purchaser, or (ii) a proposed assignee of the Permitted Lender (said Foreclosure Purchaser or proposed assignee of the Permitted Lender being sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Rejected Transferee,” and said Foreclosure Purchaser, or proposed assignee of the Permitted Lender being sometime s referred to hereinafter as the “ Applicant”), the sole remedy of the Applicant and Rejected Transferee shall be to seek relief in the nature of specific performance through consensual general reference as provided in Part 2, Title 8, Chapter 6 (Section 638, et seq.) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any successor California statute governing resolution of disputes by a court-appointed referee (“Judicial Reference”) and in no event shall Landlord be liable to the Rejected Transferee or Applicant , or any Person whatsoever, for monetary damages.

Within thirty (30) days after Permitted Mezzanine Lender submits a request for consent, Landlord shall notify the Permitted Mezzanine Lender if Landlord reasonably requires any additional information in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Mezzanine Interests. Permitted Mezzanine Lender may seek consent for more than one prospective acquirer of the Mezzanine Interes ts in connection with a foreclosure sale of Mezzanine Interests as provided in its Permitted Financing Encumbrance or as permitted by applicable Law. Landlord will grant such consent if in Landlord’s reasonable determination the following items have been satisfied:

If any Foreclosure Purchaser acquires the leasehold interest in the Property (or the equity interests in Tenant) before the date when the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements are Completed, such Foreclosure Purchaser shall make an election wit hin sixty (60) days of such acquisition (the “ Election Period ”) either to (1) Complete the Tenant’s Initial Project
64 US-DOCS\114405603.84
Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements in accordance with this Lease, the Sublease and the Project Implementation Agreement and assume (or, in the case of a Foreclosure Purchaser acquiring the equity interests in Tenant through a Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance, cause Tenant to reaffirm) the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, the Sublease and the Project Implementation Agreement; or (2) not Complete the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements in accordance with this Lease, the Sublease and the Project Implementation Agreement, in which case under this subsection (2) if: (A) such Foreclosure Purchaser acquired its interest pursuant to a Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance, then all of such Foreclosure Purchaser’s cure periods under this Lease shall terminate and the Senior Permitted Mortgage Lender may exercise any rights to cure it may have under Section 10.3.2, or (B) such Foreclosure Purchaser acquired its interest pursuant to a Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance, then such Foreclosure Purchaser shall satisfy the Termination Obligations (as defined below). The Foreclosure Purchaser’s failure to timely provide notice to Landlord of the Foreclosure Purchaser’s election shall be deemed an election by the Foreclosure Purchaser to Complete the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements in accordance with this Lease, the Sublease and the Project Implementation Agreement and assume (or reaffirm, as the case may be) the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, the Sublease and the Project Implementation Agreement.
10.6.2.1 Election to Complete the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements If the Foreclosure Purchaser elects to Complete the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then such Foreclosure Purchaser shall include with its election notice to Landlord a proposed timetable for Completion of the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements (a “Completion Timetable”). If such Foreclosure Purchaser is deemed to have elected to Complete the Tenant’ s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then such Foreclosure Purchaser shall submit its proposed Completion Timetable to Landlord within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Election Period. If such Foreclosure Purchaser fails to timely submit a Completion Timetable in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.6.2.1, then such Foreclosure Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to cause the Completion of the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements by the Original Outside Construction Completion Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 6.1) in accordance with this Lease, the Sublease and the Project Implementation Agreement. If Landlord does not approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and to be based on the Reasonableness Factors (defined below)) such Foreclosure Purchaser’s proposed Completion Timetable, then Landlord and such Foreclosure Purchaser shall meet within five (5) Business Days following notice from Landlord of such disapproval to negotiate in good faith a Completion Timetable. Landlord and such Foreclosure Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on a Completion Timetable within thirty (30) days after the first meeting between the Landlord and such Foreclosure Purchaser (the “ Completion Table Deadline ”), which Completion Timetable will take into account (1) the status of the construction of the Resort Hotel, the Parking Improvements and the Convention Center at the time of the Foreclosure Purchaser’s acquisition of the leasehold interest, and (2) the amount of time that it would take a sophisticated developer with experience constructing hotels and parking structures similar to Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center, employing diligent efforts, to Complete the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and Convention Center under the facts and circumstances existing and known or reasonably anticipated at such time (collectively, the “Reasonableness Factors”). For the avoidance of doubt, the new date of Completion of the
65 US-DOCS\114405603.84
Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center (the “New Outside Completion Date”) shall not exceed forty-eight (48) months from the date that such Foreclosure Purchaser acquires the leasehold interest under this Lease and Tenant’s interests under the Convention Center Sublease and Project Implementation Agreement (or the equity interests in Tenant, as the case may be). Once Landlord and the Foreclosure Purchaser reach agreement on a new Completion Timetable, but in any event not later than the Completion Table Deadline (even if such agreement on a new Completion Timetable has not yet been reache d), such Foreclosure Purchaser shall commence and thereafter diligently pursue Completion of the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center in accordance with such Foreclosure Purchaser’s proposed Completion Timetable, and notwithstand ing anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the Foreclosure Purchaser shall pay Construction Late Charges in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 5.1.2 of the Project Implementation Agreement commencing on the Original Outside Construction Completion Date.
If Landlord and such Foreclosure Purchaser do not agree on a new Completion Timetable prior to the Completion Table Deadline (as the same may be extended pursuant to the foregoing paragraph), either Landlord or such Foreclosure Pur chaser may submit the matter to Judicial Reference pursuant to Section 10.4.3(c). The issue to be submitted to Judicial Reference shall be whether the Completion Timetable most recently proposed by Landlord to Foreclosure Purchaser prior to the Completio n Table Deadline or the Completion Timetable most recently proposed by such Foreclosure Purchaser to Landlord prior to the Completion Table Deadline is, in each such case, reasonable based on the Reasonableness Factors. If the Judicial Referee determines that such Foreclosure Purchaser’s proposed new Completion Timetable is reasonable based on the Reasonableness Factors, then the Landlord shall accept such Foreclosure Purchaser’s proposed Completion Timetable without further inquiry. If the Judicial Refere e determines that such Foreclosure Purchaser’s proposed Completion Timetable is not reasonable based on the Reasonableness Factors, then the Judicial Referee shall determine whether the Landlord’s proposed Completion Timetable is reasonable based on the Reasonableness Factors.
If the Judicial Referee determines that the Landlord’s proposed Completion Timetable is reasonable based on the Reasonableness Factors, then such Foreclosure Purchaser shall accept the Landlord’s proposed Completion Timetable. If the Judicial Referee determines that neither the Landlord’s nor such Foreclosure Purchaser’s proposed Completion Timetable is reasonable based on the Reasonableness Factors, then Judicial Referee shall propose its own Completion Timetable based on the Reasonableness Factors, provided that such Completion Timetable shall require Completion of the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements not later than four (4) years from the date that such Foreclosure Purchaser acquired the leasehold interest under this Lease and shall in no event provide less time than Landlord’s proposed Completion Timetable, in which case the Judicial Referee’s Completion Timetable shall govern completion of the Tenant’s Initial Project Improvements and the Convention Center Improvements by such Foreclosure Purchaser. In no event shall Landlord be liable to the Foreclosure Purchaser, or any Person whatsoever, for monetary damages. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.6.2 shall be construed as limiting Landlord’s right to recove r, from the original Tenant or Foreclosure Purchaser, Construction Late Charges based on the Original Outside Construction Completion Date in accordance with Section 5.1.2 of the Project Implementation Agreement.
10.6.2.2 Election Not to Complete the Tena nt’s Initial Project Improvements
If the Foreclosure Purchaser elects not to Complete pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 10.6.2 (provided, however, that if such Foreclosure Purchaser acquired the equity interests in Tenant through a Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance, then this Section 10.6.2.2
66 US-DOCS\114405603.84
shall only apply to its election not to Complete if: (i) Senior Permitted Mortgage Lender has received a Cure Period Trigger Notice relating to the applicable Event of Default, and (ii) following delivery of such Cure Period Trigger Notice, Senior Permitted Mortgage Lender thereafter either does not timely provide notice of its intent to foreclose or does not timely complete such foreclosure, in each such case, in accordance with Section 10.3.2(b)), then s uch Foreclosure Purchaser shall perform the following obligations (collectively, the “ Termination Obligations”) within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivering its election not to Complete:
1. Cause to be recorded and filed in the appropriate official records reconveyances and releases of any remaining liens held by such Foreclosure Purchaser (or any affiliated Permitted Mortgage Lenders) with respect to the Premises, the Improvements, and the Tenant’s leasehold interest;
2. Execute and deliver to Landlord a termination of this Lease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and such Foreclosure Purchaser, which termination shall include a release by such Foreclosure Purchaser of La ndlord of any and all claims against the Landlord;
3. Assign to Landlord, without representation or recourse (other than a representation that such Foreclosure Purchaser has not previously assigned such rights) any rights that such Foreclosure Purchaser may h ave in the Improvements and any contracts relating to the development, construction and operation of the Improvements;
4. Execute, deliver and cause to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, a quitclaim deed and such other documents a s are necessary or otherwise reasonably requested by Landlord to convey to Landlord all of such Foreclosure Purchaser’s interest in the Lease and Improvements and terminate, of record, all encumbrances on title to the Premises, the Improvements, and Tenant’s leasehold interest created by this Lease or created by Foreclosure Purchaser;
5. Take such other actions and execute such other documents as Landlord may reasonably request to fully evidence the termination of this Lease; and
6. Deliver possession of the Premises and Improvements to Landlord.
Upon satisfaction of the Termination Obligations, this Lease shall terminate and the Foreclosure Purchaser shall be relieved from any further liability under this Lease except for (A) obligations and liabilities first ac cruing or arising under this Lease from and after the date such Foreclosure Purchaser acquired its interest under this Lease, but on or prior to the date of such termination, and (B) obligations and liabilities that are otherwise required to be performed pursuant to this Section in connection with such termination or surrender of the Lease.
10.6.2.3 Intentionally Omitted.
10.6.2.4 Failure to Comply
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, any Foreclosure Purchaser’s failure to comply with S ection 10.6.2.2 shall constitute an Event of Default, and upon such Event of Default, Landlord may proceed to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 12.1.3 or 12.1.6 without complying with the procedures set forth in Section 12.2.7.
67 US-DOCS\114405603.84

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord consent shall be required for any protective advances made by a Permitted Lender under and in compliance with the applicable Loan Documents approved by Landlord.

84 US-DOCS\114405603.84
Improvements or any portion thereof need to be repaired or restored as a result of a Condemnation (other than a Temporary Condemnation), the cost of such repair or restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the then curren t fair market value of all of the Premises and Improvements, the amount that Tenant (as distinct from the Permitted Lender) has received as part of the Leasehold Award from the Condemnation (less any amount that Tenant is required to pay to the Permitted Lender) is fifty percent (50%) or less of the cost of such repair or restoration, and the Loan Documents do not require Permitted Lender to contribute the Leasehold Award received from the Condemnation toward the repair or restoration, then, provided that (i) each Permitted Lender consents in writing to the termination of the Lease and releases all liens in its favor on the Premises, Improvements, and Tenant’s leasehold interest in this Lease (but not in any Leasehold Award to which such Permitted Lender is entitled pursuant to Section 14.7) (ii) the Hotel Operator consents in writing to the termination of the Hotel Management Agreement; and (iii) with respect to any such Condemnation occurring at a time when the Convention Center Sublease is in effect, as applicable, Tenant has satisfied the Condemnation Special Termination Condition (as defined in the Convention Center Sublease), Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering to Landlord written notice thereof and this Lease shall then terminate as of the date of such Condemnation. A termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 14.4 shall act to relieve Tenant from any further liability under this Lease except as to obligations accruing or arising on or prior to such termination or which are otherwise re quired to be performed in connection with such termination or surrender of the Premises and Improvements or which otherwise expressly survive such termination. In the event of such termination, Tenant shall deliver the portion of the Hotel Land and the Par king Premises that has not been Condemned to Landlord in a Buildable Condition and in accordance with any other condition required for the surrender of the Hotel Land and the Parking Premises under this Lease, and, prior to the Expansion Date, if the Conve ntion Center has not been destroyed, demolished or Condemned, Tenant shall satisfy Tenant’s Standalone Convention Center Obligations.
14.5 Partial Condemnation.
If only a portion of the Premises or the Improvements is subject to Condemnation and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 14.4 above, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect upon the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, and the Minimum Annual Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the value of the Premises and/or the Improvements, as applicable, after the Condemnation as compared to the value of the Premises and/or the Improvements, as applicable, immediately prior to the Condemnation (as reasonably determined by Landlord and approved by Tenant in its reasonable discretion).
14.6 Temporary Condemnation.
If the Premises, the Improvements or any portion thereof is subject to a Temporary Condemnation, the n this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and there shall be no adjustment or abatement in Rent during the term of such Temporary Condemnation.

14.7 Award.
14.7.1 Leasehold Award.
In the event of any Condemnation of all or any portion of the Premises or all or any portion of the Improvements (oth er than a Temporary Condemnation), (a) prior to the Expansion Date, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements or other compensation or damages which may be given for (i) any “bonus value” respecting this Lease (which is the excess value of the leasehold arising from the fact that the scheduled rent is less than the market rent for the Premises (but not the Improvements)), and (ii) the land (and water, if applicable) comprising the Premises; and (b) from and after the Expansion Date , (i) Tenant shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements or other compensation or damages which may be given for any “bonus value” respecting this Lease (which is the excess value of the leasehold arising from the fact that the scheduled rent is less than the market rent for the Premises), and (ii) Landlord shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements or other compensation or damages which may be given for the land (and water, if applicable) comprising the Premises. Any and all other awards and/or settlements or other compensation or damages (collectively, “Leasehold Award”) for the Improvements and the leasehold estate created by this Lease (excluding any bonus value thereof) shall be paid as follows:
(a) Provided this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 14.4(a) above, that portion of the Leasehold Award determined by Landlord to be reasonably necessary to repair and restore the Premises and/or Improvements shall be payable in trust to the Permitted Mortgage Lender with an outstanding Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance that is still outstanding, if any, and shall be disbursed for the payment of the costs of repairing and restoring the remaining portion of the Premises and/or Improvements to substantially its value, condition and character prior to such Condemnation to the extent the same may be practicable. If there is no Permitted Mortgage Lender or if there is but the Permitted Mortgage Lender declines to act as a trustee for the disbursement of funds as provided above, then such Leasehold Award shall be payable in trust to a bank or trust company doing business in the County of San Diego California agreed upon by t he Parties, or if the Parties fail to agree, to Bank of America, N.A., or its successor, and shall be disbursed by such trustee as provided above. If the Permitted Mortgage Lender is the trustee for disbursement, then the Permitted Mortgage Lender may disb urse the progress payments in accordance with its normal loan disbursement procedures ( e.g., upon receipt of appropriate mechanics’ lien releases, and invoices) so long as such disbursement procedures are reasonably acceptable to Landlord and ensure that t he Leasehold Award is applied to the costs of repairing and restoring the remaining portion of the Premises and Improvements.
(b) If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 14.4(a), or if there are excess proceeds available after completion of the repair and restoration of the remaining portion of the Premises and the Improvements as provided above, then any portion of the Leasehold Award not used for the repair and restoration of the remaining portion of the Premises and the Improvements pursuant to clause (a) above, or used to place the Premises and Improvements in the condition required for the surrender of same to Landlord, shall be paid as follows (1) first, to any Permitted Mortgage Lender, to repay any indebtedness to the extent required under the Loan Documents; (2) second, to the Landlord for the loss to the value of the Premises (to the extent Landlord has not theretofore been compensated for the loss to the Premises); and (3) third, to the Tenant. (c) If there is any Permitted Lender that has a Permitted Financing Encumbrance outstanding, any portion of the Leasehold Award relating to the Improvements and
86 US-DOCS\114405603.84
not used as described in clauses (a) and (b) and which is payable to Tenant pursuant to clause (b) shall be paid to the Permitted Lender that has the highest priority (i.e., most senior) lien, to be applied against the indebtedness that is secured by its Permitted Financing Encumbrance to the extent such payment is required to be made by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Permitted Financing Encumbrance held by the Permitted Lender.
(d) Any remaining portion of the Leasehold Award relating to Improvements and not used as described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) shall be paid to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, with respect to any Leasehold Award received in connection with any Condemnation for street widening or the installation of utilities, public sidewalks or walkways which occurs at any time following the Commencement Date, and provided such Condemnation does not result in material physical damage to then existing buildings or driveways, parkway access or access ways serving the Improvements and does not impair the use or operation of the Improvements, Landlord shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any award otherwise payable to Landlord pursuant to this Article 14, all of that portion of the Leasehold Award that would otherwise be distributed to Tenant pursuant to this clause (d).
14.7.2 Claims by Tenant.
Nothing in this Article 14 shall be construed to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority (but only in a manner consistent with this Article 14), but not against Landlord (unless Landlord is the condemning entity), if such claim does not diminish or otherwise adversely affect the Leasehold Award or Landlord’s rights herein. Tenant shall be entitled to any award allocated by a court of competent jurisdiction to Tenant’s personal property.
14.8 Associated Loss.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event of a Condemnation of the Convention Center, Tenant shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements or other compensation or damages which may be given for any resulting loss in value to the Resort Hotel.
15. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
15.1 Maintenance and Repair.
At any time when any Hotel Management Agreement is in effect, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at all times during the Term, comply with the maintenance and repair standards for the Premises and the Improvements set forth in such Hotel Management Agreement. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall also maintain, repair, replace and rebuild the Premises and the Improvements as necessary to keep the Non-Parking Improvements in First-Class Condition and the Parking Improvements in good condition and repair, except, in each case, for reasonable wear and tear. Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall perform all maintenance and make all repairs and replacements, ordinary as well as extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, structural or otherwise, which may be necessary or required so that at all times the Premises and the Improvements (together will all equipment, trade fixtures, mechanical and utility systems, paving, landscaping, installations and appurtenances) shall be in compliance with the Hotel Management Agreement, and in First -Class Condition in the case of the Non -Parking Improvements, and in good condition and repair in the case of the Parking I mprovements, except, in each case, for reasonable wear and tear. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, during the Term, in order to adhere to these maintenance and repair standards, certain repairs and replacements which are
87 US-DOCS\114405603.84
accounted for as capital expendi tures shall be required and are bargained for by Landlord as consideration for this Lease, and that regular capital reinvestment in the Premises and the Improvements should therefore be anticipated by Tenant and that capital reinvestment for such purposes does not qualify Tenant for any concessions, subsidies, or other modifications of the Lease during the Term. Tenant also acknowledges that capital expenditures related to maintenance and repair so as to keep or return the Non -Parking Improvements to First -Class Condition and the Parking Improvements to good condition and repair are not to be equated with capital expenditures for a major refurbishment or renovation representing an upgrade to the appearance and/or operation of the Improvements which extends i ts useful life and repositions the Improvements in a manner likely to generate more Revenue. Further, Tenant shall provide containers for the collection of trash and garbage outside the Improvements, which may require Landlord’s approval, and keep the Premises and the Improvements in a clean, safe, healthy and sanitary condition, free and clear of rubbish, litter, and any fire hazards. Tenant’s maintenance shall include, without limitation, all preventive maintenance, painting and replacements necessary to maintain and preserve the Premises and Improvements, and compliance with the Best Management Practices (“ BMPs”) set forth in the Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program incorporated by reference in Article 10 of the San Diego Unified Port District Code.
Except in the event where Tenant may need to undertake work to protect life, public health and safety, and property, or to maintain public services and private services, which constitutes an “emergency development” in the District’s CDP Regulations, and shall be processed by Landlord in accordance with the “Emergency Developments” section of said CDP Regulations, prior to Tenant performing any non -routine repair or replacement (which shall mean any repair or replacement that does not occur with an expected or known frequency in the normal course of business) to the exterior, the structure or building systems or which will substantially interfere with the typical operation of the Improvements, or affect the portions of the Improvements that are generally accessible to the public (if any), such as the lobby area of the Resort Hotel, Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications with respect to such repair or replacement, as applicable, and receive Landlord’s written approval thereof, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article 6, as if such repair or replacement, as applicable, were an Alteration; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to do so if Tenant would not be required to obtain Landlord’s approval if such repair or replacemen t, as applicable, were an Alteration. If such approval is administrative, Landlord shall not unreasonably reject any plans or specifications with respect to any repair or replacement, as applicable, that, if not performed by Tenant, would result in an Event of Default. If such approval is not administrative, Tenant shall cooperate in good faith with Landlord to prepare plans or specifications with respect to any repair or replacement to be presented to the BPC. If the BPC withholds its consent and does not give Tenant the opportunity to revise the plans or specifications for reconsideration by the BPC, then Tenant may challenge such decision of the BPC through Judicial Reference in accordance with Section 10.4.3(c).
Tenant’s obligation to repair or replace s hall be suspended during the pendency of any Judicial Reference pursuant to this Section 15.1.
By entering into this Lease, Tenant expressly waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord, as provided in Section 1942 of the California Civil Code, and all rights provided by Section 1941 of the California Civil Code.
All amounts expended by Tenant for maintenance and repair of the Convention Center pursuant to this Article 15 shall be treated as supplemental Rent for all purposes of this Lease.
88 US-DOCS\114405603.84
In the event of conflict between the terms of the Hotel Management Agreement and the terms of this Section 15.1 with respect to Tenant’s obligations hereunder, the terms of this Section 15.1 shall control.
15.2 Condition in Compliance with Laws.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the Premises and the Improvements (together with all equipment, trade fixtures, mechanical and utility systems, paving, installations and appurtenances) in full compliance with all Laws and the requirements of any insure r providing insurance for the Premises and the Improvements or any part thereof.
15.3 Inspection Report.
Within sixty (60) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant requesting an Inspection Report, which notice shall not be given more than once in any five- (5-) year period (unless Landlord determines that Tenant may be in default of its obligations under this Article 15, in which event such time limitation shall not apply), Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense, shall provide to Landlord a detailed inspection report listing any known defects, required repairs or deferred maintenance items in the Premises and the Improvements and recommendations for work to be performed to ensure that the condition of the Premises and the Improvements is in full compliance with this Lease, including the standard of condition set forth in Section 15.1 (the “Inspection Report”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord requests an Inspection Report more than once in any Rental Period, then Landlord shall pay Tenant for any reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such Inspection Report unless such Inspection Report demonstrates that Tenant is in default of its obligations under this Article 15. The Inspection Report shall be (i) prepared by an unrelated third- party inspector licensed in the State of California selected by Tenant, (ii) certified to Landlord, to the best knowledge of the Person conducting the inspection, as complete and accurate, and (iii) in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Without limitation of Tenant’s obligations or Landlord’s remedies hereunder, Tenant shall commence work to comply with the recommendations set forth in such Inspection Report within thirty (30) days of receipt of same and diligently pursue such work to completion within not later than one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt of such Inspection Report. As a condition precedent to Tenant submitting the Redevelopment Plan Package, notwithstanding that Landlord may not have requested an Inspection Report, Tenant shall deliver an Inspection Report not earlier than six (6) months prior to the submission of the Redevelopment Plan Package and perform any work recommended therein prior to submitting the Redevelopment Plan Package.
Notwithstanding the requirement in Section 15.3 that Tenant provide Landlord with an Inspection Report within sixty (60) days after notice from Landlord, so long as there is no Event of Default and the Premises and the Improvements are operated pursuant to a Hotel Management Agreement, and with respect to the Non-Parking Improvements under an Acceptable Brand, and such Hotel Management Agreement requires Tenant to maintain and repair the Premises and Improvements in accordance with such Hotel Management Agreement and requires there to be established a reserve for repair and maintenance of the Premises and Improvements, including without limitation, the furniture, trade fixtures and equipment, and such repair and maintenance occur in accordance with the requirements of such Hotel Management Agreement and Sections 15.1 and 15.2, then the foregoing Inspection Reports shall not be required; provided, however, that the delivery of an Inspection Report and perfo rmance of the work recommended therein shall continue to be a condition precedent to Tenant’s submission of the Redevelopment Plan Package.

Landlord shall have the right but not an obligation to enter, view, inspect and determine the condition of, and protect its interests in the Premises and Improvements (other than Rooms that are occupied by guests), during normal business hours and upon a three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency in which case no prior notice shall be required but Landlord shall notify Tenant and, prior to the Completion of the Resort Hotel, Tenant’s
92 US-DOCS\114405603.84
Risk Construction Manager thereof by phone prior to entering the Premises) and Landlord shall:
(a) comply with all applicable security and safety procedures of Tenant of whic h Tenant informs Landlord in writing and with which Landlord can reasonably comply, and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s operation and use of the Premises and the Improvements (and, if the Convention Center Land is not part of the Premises and the Convention Center is not part of the Improvements, the Convention Center Land and the Convention Center), while on the Premises and at the Improvements. If Landlord determines that the Premises and/or the Improvements are not in the condition required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant detailing the items to be corrected and Tenant shall commence the necessary maintenance, alteration, repair, replacement and rebuilding work necessary to remedy the issues set forth in Landlord’s notice within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord and diligently pursue such work to completion.

Such payments shall constitute supplemental Rent under this Lease and shall be paid monthly as billed by Landlord or in a lump sum payment, as directed by Landlord. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the entire estimated cost of such work in advance, but such payment shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to pay any excess costs that may be actually incurred by Landlord.

95 US-DOCS\114405603.84

The foregoing indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations of Tenant shall not include any claims (including claims under negligence and strict liability), demands, liability, losses, causes of actions and suits of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, orders, judgments, and a ll Related Costs arising directly or indirectly out of (x) the Project’s failure or alleged failure to comply with Section 15 and Exhibit 3 of the Settlement Agreement or any other document implementing or duplicating Section 15 and Exhibit 3 of the Settle ment Agreement, provided that Tenant has satisfied its obligations under Section 4.10 and Exhibit “O” of this Lease, Section 5.8 and Exhibit “O” of the Project Implementation Agreement and any other agreement that may be entered into between Landlord and/or City with Tenant to implement Tenant’s obligations under Section 4.10 and Exhibit “O” of this Lease or Section 5.8 and Exhibit “O” of the Project Implementation Agreement, or (y) any Person’s failure to comply with any applicable provisions of the PWL wi th respect to any work performed by, or on behalf of, any Landlord Party (other than by a Tenant Party or Hotel Operator, or on behalf of a Tenant Party or Hotel Operator, or by any Person acting directly or indirectly under a contract with a Tenant Party or Hotel Operator). If Landlord or the City determines in its reasonable discretion that there is a conflict of interest with counsel representing it and Tenant, then Landlord or the City, as applicable, at its election, may conduct such defense with its own counsel independent from Tenant's counsel that is selected by Landlord or the City, as applicable, in its reasonable discretion and is approved by Tenant in its reasonable discretion (and in that event Tenant will select its own counsel) and the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord or the City, as applicable, in such defense shall be covered by the foregoing indemnification, hold harmless and defense obligations and be subject to reimbursement pursuant to the Reimbursement Procedure.

103
US-DOCS\114405603.84

The terms of this Article 19 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The foregoing indemnity obligations of Tenant are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnity obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant.
Notwithstanding th e foregoing, Section 16.2, and not this Section 19.1, shall apply to the reimbursement of any fees or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with a Tax Claim.

20. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
20.1 Casualty.
Subject to Section 20.2, in the event of any damage to o r destruction of any of the Premises or Improvements, whether or not from a risk coverable by the insurance described in Article 18, Tenant shall promptly repair and restore such Premises and Improvements, in a manner reasonably approved in writing by Landlord, so that after such restoration and repair, the Premises and Improvements are at least as valuable and usable as immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Tenant shall deliver to the Permitted Mortgage Lender with a Permitted Lease Financing En cumbrance that has the Improvements as collateral any insurance proceeds it receives for the Premises and the Improvements and Permitted Mortgage Lender shall disburse such insurance proceeds to Tenant, together with any insurance proceeds Permitted Mortga ge Lender receives under Section 18.2.3, as progress payments for the work of repair, restoration or replacement being performed by Tenant; and upon completion of such work free and clear of mechanics or other liens, any remaining balance of any insurance proceeds shall be paid first to the Permitted Mortgage Lender to reduce the indebtedness of the Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance, and thereafter, if the Permitted Mortgage Lender permits or if it is required by the terms of the Permitted Lease Financi ng Encumbrance, to Tenant and Landlord proportionate to the equity investment of each Party in the Premises and the Improvements. The Permitted Mortgage Lender may disburse the progress payments in accordance with its normal disbursement procedures (e.g. u pon receipt of appropriate mechanics lien releases, invoices, etc.) so long as such disbursement procedures are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and ensure that the proceeds of insurance are applied to the costs of repairing, restoring or replacing the Improvements that were damaged or destroyed. To the extent that the insurance proceeds are insufficient to pay for the costs of restoring, repairing or replacing the damaged Premises and Improvements, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to the trustee for app lication to the restoration costs within ninety (90) days after the insurer first makes available such insurance proceeds for repair, restoration or replacement. The provisions of Articles 6 and 7 shall apply to all work performed pursuant to this Article 20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant and the Permitted Lender are not able to obtain sufficient insurance proceeds (in the case of an insured casualty) or construction funds (in the case of an uninsured casualty) to commence repair, restoration or replacement of the damaged Premises and Improvements within ninety (90) days of such damage or destruction, and in the case of an insured casualty, Tenant has used its best efforts to, or the
104
US-DOCS\114405603.84
Permitted Lender has used its reasonable efforts to, so obtain s uch insurance proceeds, or, in the case of an uninsured casualty, Tenant and the Permitted Lender have used their best efforts to obtain sufficient construction funds, then Tenant and the Permitted Lender shall have such additional time as is necessary to obtain such insurance proceeds or construction funds (but in no event to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or destruction) in which to commence to repair, restore or replace the damaged Premises and Improvements (including commencing engineering or permitting with respect thereto).
20.2 Termination.
Notwithstanding Section 20.1 to the contrary, if (a) there is damage or destruction to the Initial Project Improvements during the last three (3) years of the Term, the cost of re pairing said damage or destruction exceeds the cost of demolishing and removing the remaining Initial Project Improvements as determined by the Demolition and Remediation Report, and Landlord has delivered to Tenant a Landlord End of Term Election that req uires that Tenant demolish the Private Improvements or (b) there is damage or destruction to the Initial Project Improvements, the cost of repairing said damage or destruction, prior to the Expansion Date, exceeds Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) or, fr om and after the Expansion Date, exceeds One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), and a Permitted Mortgage Lender requires that any or all of the property damage insurance proceeds are used to repay any indebtedness that is secured by Permitted Lease Fi nancing Encumbrance, or (c) there is damage or destruction to the Initial Project Improvements and the repairing of said damage or destruction would violate any Law, then Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease, subject to Tenant’s satisfaction of all of the following requirements: (i) Tenant shall, within ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty, give Landlord written notice of its election to terminate (“Notice of Election to Terminate”); (ii) Tenant shall secure and deliver to Landlor d the written consent of each Permitted Lender to terminate the Lease; (iii) Tenant shall secure and deliver to Landlord the releases from each Permitted Lender of all liens in favor of each Permitted Lender on the Premises, Improvements, and Tenant’s leasehold interest in this Lease effective as of the termination date (other than any liens with respect to insurance proceeds to which such Permitted Lender is entitled pursuant to this Section 20.2, if any); (iv) Tenant shall secure and deliver to Landlord the written consent of Hotel Operator to terminate the Hotel Management Agreement; (v) when the Convention Center Sublease is in effect, as applicable, Tenant has satisfied the Casualty Special Termination Condition (as defined in the Convention Center Subl ease); and (v) Tenant shall within one hundred and eighty (180) days of Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Election to Terminate, (x) at the election of Landlord, surrender the Hotel Land and the Parking Premises to Landlord in a Buildable Condition, (y) prior to the Expansion Date, so long as the Convention Center has not been destroyed, demolished or Condemned, satisfy Tenant’s Standalone Convention Center Obligations and (z) pay all sums due and payable to Landlord to the date of termination.
Any and al l property damage insurance proceeds (exclusive of any proceeds applicable to Tenant’s personal property that would be retained by Tenant at the end of the Term, all of which shall be paid to Tenant) paid as a result of the damage or destruction of the Ini tial Project Improvements giving rise to the termination, shall be distributed in accordance with the following order of priority: (A) prior to the Expansion Date: (1) first, to the repayment of any indebtedness that is secured by a Permitted Lease Financi ng Encumbrance, if any such Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance is still outstanding; and (2) second, to Tenant; and (B) from and after the Expansion Date: (1) first, to the repayment of any indebtedness that is secured by a Permitted Lease Financing Enc umbrance, if any such Permitted Lease Financing Encumbrance is still outstanding; (2) second, to Tenant all proceeds with the respect to the Resort Hotel; (3) third, without duplication, to Tenant an amount equal to the “bonus value” with respect to the Premises
105
US-DOCS\114405603.84
(which is the excess value of the leasehold arising from the fact that the scheduled rent is less than the market rent for the Premises); and (4) fourth, to Landlord.
20.3 No Rental Abatement.
Except as may be expressly permitted in this Lease (including, without limitation, in Section 20.2), Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction in the Rent during any period of time that any Initial Project Improvements or any Alterations located on the Premises are in need of repair, restoration or replacement or are under construction for such repairs, restoration or replacements or any other period of time during the Term.
20.4 Waiver of Statutory Provisions.
The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 20, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises and the Initial Project Improvements, or any other portion thereof, and any California statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, rega rding the rights or obligations of a tenant concerning damage or destruction following a casualty event are waived and shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises or Initial Project Improvements as a result of a casualty event.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord may consult with the City prior to making any determinations under this Article 20.

US-DOCS\114405603.84
21.1.2 Notice of Release or Inquiry.
If Tenant becomes aware of (i) any actual or threatened release that occurs during the Term of any Hazardous Material on, in, under, from, or about the Premises or Improvements or (ii) any notice, inquiry, investigation, proceeding, or claim by any government agency or other Person regarding the pres ence that occurs during the Term of any Hazardous Material on, in, under, from or about the Premises or Improvements (collectively, “ Inquiry”), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such release or Inquiry within twenty-four (24) hours after Tenant learns that there has been a release or Inquiry and shall simultaneously furnish to Landlord copies of any notices of inquiry or investigation, claims, notices of violation, reports, warning or other writings received by Tenant that concern such release or Inquiry. Unless Landlord receives separate notice, Tenant shall provide Landlord with advance written notice of any meeting scheduled between any Tenant Party and any federal, state or local government agency (including, but not limited to, the United Sta tes Environmental Protection Agency, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Department of Toxic Substances Control or Air Resources Board) (“government agency”) where a material item of discussion is directly related to the subject matter of this Articl e 21, at least five (5) Business Days prior to such meeting or as soon as reasonably possible if the government agency schedules such meeting with any Tenant Party for less than five (5) Business Days from the date the meeting is proposed. Landlord shall be entitled to have its representatives attend and participate in any and all such meetings. If the government agency brings up Hazardous Material on, in, under, from, or about the Premises or Improvements in any other scheduled meeting, Tenant shall sugges t that a separate meeting should be scheduled so that Landlord can participate in such meeting.
21.1.3 Landlord Right to Inspect and Data.
If Hazardous Materials Activity has occurred during the Term or is ongoing, Landlord or its designated representatives, at Landlord’s sole discretion, may, but are not obligated to, enter upon the Premises and/or Improvements and make any inspections, non -intrusive tests or measurements that Landlord deems necessary or desirable to determine if a release or discharge of Hazardous Materials has occurred. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to conducting any inspections or tests, unless, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, circumstances require otherwise. If Landlord reasonably suspe cts a possible release of Hazardous Materials or a use of Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Law, then Landlord shall describe the concern to Tenant, and may require Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense, to have additional investigation for such Hazardous Materials conducted on, under or about the Premises and/or Improvements by an environmental consultant or engineering firm designated by Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation to conduct such investigation shall terminate if Tenant can demonstrate to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that there was neither any release of Hazardous Materials, nor any use of Hazardous Materials during the Term in violation of Environmental Law. Such tests may include, without limitation, any area ou tside the Premises or Improvements that may have been contaminated, including but not limited to surface and groundwater. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, as soon as reasonable after they become available to Tenant, access to all non-privileged information reports and data obtained, generated or learned as a result of sampling or testing activities on the Premises or Improvements, including raw and verified lab data and consultant reports.

107
US-DOCS\114405603.84
as reasonable after such reports are finalized. Any environmental reports issued by or on behalf of Tenant regarding the Premises, the Improvements, or Hazardous Materials Activities related thereto shall first be generated in draft form and furnished to Landlord for review and comment, except in the case when any resulting delay in producing a final environmental report would violate any Laws or any order of any government agency. Except in the case when any resulting delay in producing a final environmental report would violate any Laws or any order of any government agency, no such report shall be made final until Landlord has had reasonable opportunity to review the draft and to identify any factual inaccuracies therein; provided, however, that if Landlord fails to comment on a draft report within thirty (30) days after Tenant provides Landlord with the final draft report and any information needed by Landlord to complete its review, Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice to deliver any comments to the draft report within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of the notice . If Landlord does not respond after the second notice, Tenant may complete and submit the report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance shall any report submitted by Tenant pursuant to this Section 21.1.3 bind the Landlord or contain any representation from Landlord. Landlord’s failure to inspect, test or take other actions pursuant to this Section 21.1.3 shall in no way relieve Tenant of any responsibility for a release of a Hazardous Material.
21.1.4 Environmental Cleanup Obligations.
If, on or after the Commencement Date, any Hazardous Material has been released by Tenant Parties or Hotel Operator, or any Pre -Existing Hazardous Material is ex acerbated by Tenant Parties or Hotel Operator and thereby violates any Environmental Laws and/or results in (a) any investigation mandated by any government agency, (b) any clean -up order by any government agency, (c) any third -party claim or demand agains t Landlord, (d) any material increase in Landlord’s liability or (e) any material increase in the cost or amount of investigation, removal or remediation action required (“ Material Exacerbation”, and “Materially Exacerbate” and “Materially Exacerbated” shall have correlative meanings to “Material Exacerbation”), then Tenant shall promptly take all necessary actions, at Tenant’s sole expense, to investigate, remove or remediate such contamination in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner and to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authority (“ Environmental Cleanup”). Tenant shall have no obligation to undertake any Environmental Cleanup with respect to any contamination caused by any Pre-Existing Hazardous Material unless such Environmental Cleanup is required as a result of Tenant’s Material Exacerbation, and the extent of Tenant’s obligation to undertake such Environmental Cleanup shall be limited to that required as a result of the Material Exacerbation. Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord prior to performing any removal or remedial action. In the event that an Environmental Cleanup conducted or required of Tenant interferes with the current or future use of the Premises, Improvements, or other property of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly alter or amend the Environmental Cleanup (whether such is completed or not and regardless of the time period elapsed between the cleanup activities and Landlord’s request to alter the Environmental Cleanup because of the interference), upon notice fro m Landlord, as necessary to prevent and/or eliminate such interference. Tenant shall not propose, and Landlord is under no obligation to agree to, any covenant of use restriction or other institutional controls as part of any removal or remediation require d as a result of this Section 21.1.4. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord, an Environmental Cleanup required under this Section 21.1.4 shall avoid and not include the use of additional restrictive covenants or other institutional controls.

Should any Environmental Cleanup of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is responsible not be completed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then:
(i) Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount of money equal to the balance of the estimated costs of such Environmental Cleanup as reasonably determined by an independent third -party environmental consultant that is acceptable to Tenant and selected by Landlord (the “Independent Consultant”), and (ii) if the nature of the contamination or Environmental Cleanup required of Tenant is such as to make any portion of the Premises or Improvements untenable or unleaseable, then Tenant shall be liable to Landlord as a holdover tenant until the Environmental Cleanup has been completed to the extent required by this Lease, or to the extent necessary to render the Premises and/or Improvements, as applicable, in full compliance with all Environmental Laws and to make the Premises and/or Improvements, as applicable, suitable for lease to third parties. The estimated cost of the Environmental Cleanup shall require approval of the Landlord.
Landlord shall release funds from such deposit from time to time to pay for such Environmental Cleanup costs incurred with Landlord’s approval. To the extent the Independent Consultant estimates, at any time, that the funds remaining on deposit may not be sufficient to cover all remaining anticipated Environmental Cleanup costs, then Tenant shall deposit, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written demand therefor, such additional funds with Landlord as Independent Consultant may estimate at such time may be required to complete the Environmental Cleanup.
21.1.6 Financial Security.
If Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Tenant does not have insurance or other financial resources sufficient to enable Tenant to fulfill its obligations under this Article 21 whether or not accrued, liquidated, conditional, or contingent, then Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such commercially available environmental impairment liability and/or pollution liability insurance policies and endorsements, or shall otherwise provide such collateral or security reasonably acceptable to Landlord as is appropriate to assure that Tenant will be able to perform its duties and obligations hereunder.

29.19 Third Party Beneficiaries.
There are no third party beneficiaries of this Lease except as set forth in this Section 29.19. Each Permitted Lender shall be a third party beneficiary of this Lease as it relates, directly or indirectly, to such Permitted Lender, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 1.8, Section 4.8, Article 10, Section 11.5, Section 11.6, Section 11.7, Section 14.4, Section 14.7, Section 18.2.3, Section
20.1, Section 20.2, Section 29.3 and this Section 29.19 only and only to the extent such Permitted Lender has any rights under such provisions; provided, however, that Permitted Lender shall not have the right to enforce such rights against Landlord unless Permitted Lender has complied with
121
US-DOCS\114405603.84
the applicable provision to the extent relating to such third party beneficiary rights in the Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any monetary damages of any kind pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the only remedies that a Permitted Lender shall have in enforcing its third party beneficiary rights under this Section 29.19 against Landlord shall be the right to pursue injunctive relief, declaratory relief and/or specific performance (in each such case, without the requirement of posting any bond or other security). In connection with the foregoing, Landlord agrees not to assert as a defense in any action by a Permitted Lender for injunctive relief or specific performance, that injunctive relief or specific performance is not an available remedy on the grounds that monetary damages are an adequate remedy. The forgoing shall not be construed as limiting any other defense available to Landlord in any such action.
As the lessee of the Convention Center, which is located adjacent to the Premises, the City has certain interests in the development, use and financing of the Premises and the Improvements.
As such, under this Lease, the City shall be a third party beneficiary of this Lease as it relates to any Substantial City Interest Provision. The City will be permitted to exercise such third party beneficiary rights with respect to any breach of a Substantial City Interest Provision either in conjunction with the Landlord or on its own behalf subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 29.19. If the City exercises its third party beneficiary enforcement rights in conjunction with Landlord, Landlord and the City agree to coordinate their efforts as follows: the City must undertake (for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord) to cooperate and coordinate with Landlord, and Landlord shall cooperate and coordinate with the City, so that all statements and positions taken by the City or Landlord with respect to any dispute related to the breach of such Substantial City Interest Provision in communications with Tenant or in any dispute resolution procedure will be joint statements or positions, as applicable, to the maximum extent possible. The intention of this process is to maximize the likelihood that in connection with the breach of any Substantial City Interest Provision under this Lease, Tenant will have the ability to negotiate with the City and Landlord jointly. However, the Parties recognize that Landlord and the City may have differing interests in the enforcement of any remedy for an Event of Default under this Lease, and nothing in this Section 29.19 shall restrict Landlord’s exercise of its sole discretion in connection with the enforcement of any remedies under this Lease. The City will be permitted to exercise its third party beneficiary rights alone, without Landlord involvement, only if (a) the City notifies Landlord that the City requests that Landlord enforce such Substantial City Interest Provision, (b) within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice Landlord notifies the City that it declines to enforce such Substantial City Interest Provision, and (c) the City then delivers written notice to Tenant of the City’s intention to exercise such rights against Tenant (the “Third Party Beneficiary Notice”).
If the City delivers a Third Party Beneficiary Notice to Tenant w ith respect to a breach of a Substantial City Interest Provision and Landlord exercises remedies with respect to such breach of such Substantial City Interest Provision, then the City must undertake (for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord) to cooperate and coordinate with Landlord, and Landlord shall cooperate and coordinate with the City, so that all statements and positions taken by the City or Landlord with respect to any dispute related to such breach in communications with Tenant or in any dispute resolution procedure will be joint statements or positions, as applicable, to the maximum extent possible. Nothing contained in this Section 29.19 shall limit the Landlord’s rights or remedies or preclude or restrict Landlord’s right to enforce any provision o f this Lease, including any Substantial City Interest Provision, at any time including after the City delivers a Third Party Beneficiary Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Contemporaneous Agreement, the only remedies that the City shall have in pursuing its third party beneficiary rights alone under this Section 29.19 against Tenant shall be the right to pursue declaratory relief, specific performance and claims for direct damages, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees
122
US-DOCS\114405603.84
and costs, all of which rights shall be subject to terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, all notice and cure rights granted to Permitted Lenders herein.
29.20 Quantum of Person’s Indirect Ownership.
For purposes of this Lease, the quantum of a Person’s ind irect ownership in any other Person (and such other Person’s assets) is calculated as the percentage of the proportional ownership interest at each level. As an example, if Person A owns a 50% interest in Person B and Person B owns a 50% interest in Person C, then Person A would be deemed to have a 25% indirect ownership interest in Person C and Person C’s assets.
29.21 Constitutional Rights and Compliance with Law.
Nothing in this Lease is intended to limit any rights that Tenant has under the Constitution of the United States of America or the California State Constitution with respect to any act, including the enactment of any Law, by Landlord or any other Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any claim for a taking, and this Lease shall be construed as to give effect to such intent.
Whenever this Lease requires Tenant to comply with the requirements of any Law, then Tenant will be deemed in compliance with such Law if each applicable Governmental Authority has provided a written variance from or waiver of compliance therewith.
29.22 Dispute Resolution.
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease to the contrary, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Lease, or the breach hereof, shall be subject to a non -binding mandatory mediation. The mediator shall be a mediator mutually acceptable to the Parties and shall have at least twenty (20) years of experience drafting and implementing hotel ground leases within the County of San Diego and preferably within the jurisdiction of Landlord. The Parties shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the mediation and each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses, including any attorneys’ fees, related to the mediation.
29.23 Tenant’s Representation.
Subject to the occurrence of the Expansion Dat e, to the Knowledge of Tenant as of the Commencement Date, based in part upon an analysis performed by a nationally-recognized third- party advisory firm, Tenant represents to Landlord that, immediately following the Fourth (4 th) Lease Period, (a) the Convention Center is reasonably expected to have a remaining useful life of at least 9 years and (b) the fair market value of the Convention Center is reasonably expected to exceed $55,300,000 (without including in such value any increase or decrease for inflat ion or deflation during the term of this Lease).

ENERGY REQUIREMENTS
The Parties acknowledge that Section 15 of the Settlement Agreement requires that all “Developments” within the Proposed Project (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) area achieve, in the aggregate, a fifty percent (50%) reduction in annual energy use (the “50% Energy Standard”) compared to that allowed under the Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, Part 6, of the California Code of Regulations in effect as of May 4, 2010 (“ 2010 Title 24 ”). To implement Section 15 of the Settlement Agreement with respect to the Project, the Parties agree as follows:
(a) Tenant represents and warrants that it has prepared the Plans in such a manner that each building will operate at an energy consumption level equal to or better than the more stringent of the following two standards, which shall be referred to herein as, the “Minimum Energy Efficiency Design Standard”: (i) fifteen percent (15%) less than the amount of energy that each building would otherwise be permitted to consume under 2010 Title 24; or (ii) the minimum energy efficiency performance standard adopted by the City at the time a building permit application is submitted for each building. (b) No later than thirty (3 0) days prior to the date when the first building in the Project is open for business, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, a measurement and verification plan for energy efficiency for the Project based on the Plans (as approved by Landlord in accordance with this Lease) (the “M&V Plan”). Tenant shall also provide a courtesy copy of the M&V Plan to the City concurrently with its delivery to Landlord. (c) Developer shall implement and maintain the M&V Plan throughout the Term.
(d) Tenant shall cause the performance of, and deliver to Landlord and City, an energy consumption audit for each of the buildings in the Project no less frequently than every three (3) years after the Completion of the Resort Hotel and the Completion of the Parki ng Improvements, as applicable, as more particularly set forth in Section 15.2.2.4 of the Settlement Agreement (the “Required Energy Audits”).
(e) If the City and Landlord ultimately determine that the Plans do not achieve the 50% Energy Standard as applied to the Project, Tenant, the City and Landlord shall work together to identify additional energy savings measures, programs or credits (collectively, “Additional Energy Savings Measures”) available to achieve the 50% Energy Standard. Such Additional Energy Savings Measures may include, without limitation, Tenant’s participation in renewable or “time of use” energy purchase programs, and/or other measures identified in Section 15.2 of the Settlement Agreement. Tenant agrees to participate in and/or implement the Additional Energy Savings Measures so identified at Tenant’s cost, to the extent “commercially reasonable” (as defined below), in order to maximize energy use reduction at the Project, in the aggregate, up to the 50% Energy Standard. If, despite Tena nt’s efforts, Tenant cannot reduce the energy use standard at the Project to achieve the 50% Energy Standard, either because it is not commercially reasonable to do so, or Tenant’s participation in and/or implementation of the Additional Energy Savings Measures identified by the City and Landlord do not result in the 50% Energy Standard, the City and Landlord agree to identify additional energy savings measures or credits that the City and Landlord could implement (at a cost to be shared equally by the City and Landlord) or cause third parties to implement (without a public subsidy or rent
O-2
US-DOCS\114405603.84
reduction), throughout the Proposed Project (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) area, to achieve the 50% Energy Standard for the Project. For purposes of this Exhibit “O”, “commercially reasonable” Additional Energy Savings Measures are the Additional Energy Savings Measures that Tenant reasonably determines can be implemented practicably and cost- effectively at the Project and that the implementation of which will not interfere with the operation of any portion of the Project. Tenant shall cooperate with the City and Landlord in good faith to identify locations for the commercially reasonable Additional Energy Savings Measures on the Premises and shall enter into any a greements with Landlord and/or the City, as reasonably required, to effectuate the construction of such commercially reasonable Additional Energy Savings Measures on the Premises.
(f) Tenant shall indemnify and defend the City and Landlord , at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and with counsel reasonably approved by Landlord and the City, and hold harmless the City and Landlord for any and all claims (including claims under negligence and strict liability), demands, liability, losses, causes of actions and sui ts of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, orders, judgments, and all Related Costs arising directly or indirectly out of any breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Exhibit “O”, except for claims or litigation arising through the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City or Landlord (but subject to Section 18.4 of this Lease). If Landlord and the City determine in their reasonable discretion that there is a conflict of interest with Tenant’s counsel representing Landlord, the City and Tenant, then Landlord and the City, at their election, may conduct their own defense with their own counsel independent from Tenant’s coun sel (and in that event Tenant will select its own counsel) and the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord and the City in such defense shall be covered by the foregoing indemnification, hold harmless and defense obligations and be subject to reimbursement pursuant to the Reimbursement Procedure. The terms of this clause (f) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease . Nothing in this Exhibit “O” shall limit Tenant’s obligations to indemnify Landlord and the City with regard to the Plan s, the Resort Hotel, or other Improvements if and to the extent required under this Lease. (g) For purposes of the Settlement Agreement, Tenant’s obligations to comply with Section 15 of the Settlement Agreement are limited to the requirements set forth herein. So long as Tenant has complied with its obligations under this Exhibit “O” and Section
4.10, Tenant will not be in default and will not be in breach under this Lease or the Settlement Agreement based upon any alleged failure to comply with the terms of Section 15 of the Settlement Agreement in the design of the Project or the Tenant’s Phase 1A Improvements.
