7 4849-5657-2273v18/024036-0079
(b) Sublease Advance Rent. In partial consideration of the City’s agreement to sub-sublease the Site and to sublease the Conventio n Center to RIDA on the terms set forth in this Sublease, RIDA shall pay Sublease Advance Rent (as defined below) hereunder to be applied to the construction of the Convention Center as set forth in the Project Implementation Agreement, pursuant to which RIDA is acting as the developer a nd general contractor for the construction of the Convention Center. Upon receipt of a Facility Lease Advance Rent Notice (as defined in the Facility Lease) from the JEPA under the Facility Lease, the City shall promptly submit to RIDA a Sublease Advance Rent Notice for an equivalent amount (such amounts, collectively, “Sublease Advance Rent”). Contemporaneous with its delivery of each Sublease Advance Rent Notice to RIDA, the City shall record the information contained therein in a register of the recordation of the amount of Sublease Advance Rent that is due and payable by RI DA in accordance with this Section 3.4 (the “Sublease Advance Rent Register”). The Sublease Ad vance Rent Register shall be available for inspection by RIDA at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. If RIDA pays Sublease Advance Rent to the City, then t he City shall promptly pay an equivalent amount to the JEPA as advance rent under the Facili ty Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Convention Center L ease, if RIDA receives a notice from the City confirming that the City assigned to the JEPA its r ight to receive the payment of Sublease Advance Rent hereunder, then, from and after the date of th e receipt of such notice, RIDA shall pay Sublease Advance Rent to the JEPA as the City’s assignee. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, if RIDA makes a deposit into the Constru ction Fund (as defined in the Indenture) without receipt of any Sublease Advance Rent Notice, then t he amount so deposited shall constitute Sublease Advance Rent.
(c) Payment of Sublease Advance Rent. RIDA shall pay (i) Sublease Advance Rent (other than any Sublease Advance Rent in conne ction with any true-up payment pursuant to Section 9.2.6.1 of the Project Implementation Agree ment) no later than ten (10) Business Days and (ii) any Sublease Advance Rent in connection with a ny true-up payment pursuant to Section 9.2.6.1 of the Project Implementation Agreement no later than twenty (20) Business Days, in each case, after it receives a Sublease Advance Rent Notice with res pect to such Sublease Advance Rent in accordance with Section 3.4(b). All payments of Sub lease Advance Rent and other sums due to City hereunder shall be paid in legal tender of the Unit ed States, without notice, invoice, setoff, deducti on or demand, except as otherwise expressly provided h erein. No payment by RIDA or receipt or acceptance by of a lesser amount than the required amount of Sublease Advance Rent shall be deemed to be a waiver of any current or preceding b reach by RIDA of any provision hereof. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Sublease Advance Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and City has the right to accept such check or payment without prejudice to City’s r ight to recover the balance of such Sublease Advance Rent or pursue any other remedy in accordan ce with this Sublease, at law or in equity.

provided herein. No payment by RIDA or receipt or acceptance by City of a lesser amount than the required amount of Periodic Rent shall be deemed to be a waiver of any current or preceding breach by RIDA of any provision hereof. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Periodic Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and City has the right to accept such check or paym ent without prejudice to City’s right to recover the balance of such Periodic Rent or pursue any oth er remedy in accordance with this Sublease, at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an y Late Charge be less than One Hundred Dollars ($100). Acceptance by City of any Late Charge or t he late payment of any Periodic Rent or any portion thereof shall in no event constitute a waiv er of an Event of Default with respect to such overdue amount, nor shall it prevent City from exer cising any of its other rights and remedies hereunder. In addition to the application of a Lat e Charge, if RIDA fails to pay any Periodic Rent when due, then the unpaid Periodic Rent amount shal l accrue interest at the Default Rate from the date due until paid, and such interest shall constitute supplemental Rent.

Such Casualt y Proceeds shall be held in trust by the Trustee in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. If, no later than six (6) months after the date that any damage to or destruction of the Site or any Improvements has occurred or such later date as the JEPA consents to pursuant to Section 6.1(b) of the Facility Lease, RIDA has provided to the City, the JEPA and the Trustee the certifications to be made by RIDA as set forth in Section 6.1(b)(i)(A) and Section 6.1(b)(i)(C) of th e Facility Lease, and the City has provided the certifications to be made by the City as set forth in Section 6.1(b)(i)(A) and Section 6.1(b)(i)(B) of the Facility Lease, then such Casualty Proceeds sha ll be transferred by the Trustee to the 2022A Account of the Construction Fund and disbursed by t he Trustee in accordance with Section 6.1(b) of the Facility Lease, the terms of the Indenture and Section 9.2 of the Project Implementation Agreement to fund the repair or restoration of the Site and the Improvements. If RIDA has made the certifications to be made by RIDA pursuant to Secti on 6.1(b)(i)(A) and Section 6.1(b)(i)(C) of the Facility Lease and requests the City to make the ce rtifications to be made by the City in Section 6.1(b)(i)(A) and Section 6.1(b)(i)(B) of th e Facility Lease then the City shall promptly request information that the City reasonably requir es to establish the truthfulness of RIDA’s certifications and to make the City’s required cert ifications, and if the truthfulness of RIDA’s certifications and the evidence required by the Cit y to make its certifications is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, then the City shall promptly make such certifications as and when required under the Facility Lease. If any damage to or destruction of the Site or any Improvements occurs prior to the date that such Improvements hav e been Completed, then, in addition to the Casualty Proceeds deposited in the Insurance and Co ndemnation Fund and subsequently transferred to the 2022A Account of the Construction Fund, all amounts remaining on deposit in the 2022A Account of the Construction Fund shall continue to be available to fund construction of the Site and the Improvements and shall be disbursed by the Trus tee in accordance with Section 3.10 of the Indenture and Section 9.2 of the Project Implementa tion Agreement prior to disbursement by the Trustee of any Casualty Proceeds deposited in the I nsurance and Condemnation Fund and subsequently transferred to the 2022A Account of th e Construction Fund. Upon completion of repair or restoration of such damage or destruction, as applicable, free and clear of mechanics or other liens, any remaining balance of the Casualty Proceeds in the 2022A Account of the Construction Fund with respect to such damage or destruction, as applicable (exclusive of any proceeds applicable to RIDA’s personal property that would be retained by RIDA at the end of the Term, all of which shall be paid to RIDA), shall be paid to RIDA as reimbursement of the unamortized portion of any Advance Rent previously paid by RIDA; provided, however, if ther e is any Permitted Lender that has a Permitted Financing Encumbrance outstanding, then such amount shall be paid to the Permitted Lender that has the highest priority 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 RIDA pursuant to the terms of the Permitted Financing Encumbrance held by the Permitted Lender.
If there is no Trustee or if there is but the Trust ee declines to act as a trustee for the disbursement of funds as provided above, then any C asualty Proceeds shall be payable in trust to the Permitted Mortgage Lender with an outstanding Permi tted Lease Financing Encumbrance that is still outstanding, and shall be disbursed by such Permitt ed Mortgage Lender as provided above. If the Permitted Mortgage Lender is the trustee for disbur sement, then the Permitted Mortgage Lender may disburse the payments in accordance with its normal disbursement procedures (e.g. upon receipt of appropriate mechanics lien releases, invoices, etc. ) so long as such disbursement procedures are reasonably satisfactory to City and ensure that the Casualty Proceeds are applied to the costs of repairing, restoring or replacing the Site and the Improvements that were damaged or destroyed. If there is no such Permitted Mortgage Lender, or if t here is, but it declines to hold and disburse the
21 4849-5657-2273v18/024036-0079
Casualty Proceeds, then such Casualty Proceeds shal l be payable to a bank or trust company doing business in the County of San Diego agreed upon by the Parties, or if the Parties fail to agree, to Bank of America, N.A., or its successor, and such C asualty Proceeds shall be deposited in interest bearing accounts or deposits agreed upon by the Par ties, or if the Parties fail to agree, then in the bank’s regular passbook savings account, and shall be disbursed as provided above after all amounts in the 2022A Account of the Construction Fund are d isbursed by the Trustee for the costs of repairing and restoring the remaining portion of the Site and the Improvements.
To the extent that the Casualty Proceeds and all am ounts that are on deposit in the 2022A Account of the Construction Fund, are insuffi cient to pay for the costs of restoring, repairing or replacing the damaged Site and Improvements, RID A shall pay such deficiency to the Trustee for application to the restoration costs in accordance with Section 6.1(b) of the Facility Lease, within ninety (90) days after the insurer first makes avai lable such Casualty Proceeds for repair, restoratio n or replacement. In satisfaction of its obligation under the preceding sentence, RIDA may provide a letter(s) of credit or a completion guaranty, in ea ch case, in a form reasonably acceptable to each of the City, the Port and the JEPA, in an amount equal to such deficiency. As and to the extent provided in the Project Implementation Agreement, the provis ions of Article 9 of the Project Implementation Agreement shall apply to all work performed pursuan t to this Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if RIDA is not able to obtain sufficient Casualty 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 Site or Improvements within ninety (90) days of such damage or destruction, and in the case of an insured casualty , RIDA has used its best efforts to so obtain such Casualty Proceeds or, in the case of an uninsured c asualty, RIDA has used its best efforts to obtain sufficient construction funds, then RIDA shall have such additional time as is necessary to obtain such Casualty Proceeds or construction funds (but i n no event to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or destruct ion) in which to commence to repair, restore or replace the damaged Site and Improvements (includin g commencing engineering or permitting with respect thereto).

58 4849-5657-2273v18/024036-0079
(g) Certain Limitations. The City shall not have the r ight to terminate this Sublease as a result of any Event of Default arising solely under Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(f) (as it relates to a cross-default for failure to perform o nly) of the Sublease that is susceptible to cure (b ut will retain all other remedies) if the following conditions apply:
(i) (A) RIDA has, in good faith, by written notice serv ed on the City within thirty (30) days of receipt of any notice fr om the City of such Event of Default, contested tha t (x) RIDA has failed to perform any covenant or cond ition required to be performed by it under this Sublease or (y) an Event of Default as defined in a nd in accordance with the Project Implementation Agreement or an Event of Default as defined in and in accordance with the Ground Lease has occurred or is continuing, as applicable, and (B) there has been no final determination by a court with jurisdiction that (x) RIDA has in fact failed to pe rform any covenant or condition required to be performed by it under this Sublease and that such f ailure has had a material adverse effect on any Public Entity or the Project or (y) an Event of Def ault as defined in and in accordance with the Project Implementation Agreement or an Event of Def ault as defined in and in accordance with the Ground Lease has occurred or is continuing and that such Event of Default has had a material adverse effect on any Public Entity or the Project, as applicable; or (ii) after any final determination by a court with juris diction that (x) RIDA has in fact failed to perform any covenant or condition required to be performed by it under this Sublease and that such failure has had a material adverse effect on any Public Entity or the Project or (y) an Event of Default as defined in an d in accordance with the Project Implementation Agreement or an Event of Default as defined in and in accordance with the Ground Lease has occurred or is continuing and that such Event of De fault has had a material adverse effect on any Public Entity or the Project, as applicable, RIDA p romptly (and in all events, within thirty (30) days of such final determination), cures such failure, s uch Event of Default as defined in and in accordance with the Project Implementation Agreement or such Event of Default as defined in and in accordance with the Ground Lease, as applicable.
Without limiting the foregoing, the City shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as a result of any Event of Default arising solely und er Section 8.1(f) unless the Project Implementation Agreement or the Ground Lease, as applicable, has been terminated in accordance with its terms. For purposes of this Section 8.2(g), a “final determina tion by a court with jurisdiction” shall mean the entry of a final judgment by the trial court or equ ivalent tribunal in any such proceeding. For clarification, the thirty-day cure period following such “final determination” within which RIDA’s failure to perform must be cured in order to avoid the City’s right to terminate pursuant to this Section 8.2(g) shall commence immediately upon entr y of such judgment by the trial court and shall not be stayed, delayed or otherwise postponed durin g any appeal periods or other post-judgment proceedings (e.g., Motion for New Trial or JNOV) th at RIDA might pursue following entry of such judgment.

ARTICLE IX
SUBLEASE FINANCING ENCUMBRANCE
Section 9.1 Permitted Financing Encumbrances . RIDA shall not encumber or hypothecate this Sublease, RIDA’s sub-subleasehold interest in the Site or subleasehold interest in the Improvements, or any part thereof or interest therein, or grant any security interest in the direct or indirect equity interests of RIDA except as set for th in this Article IX. If, under the Ground Lease, Landlord (as defined in the Ground Lease) consents to a Permitted Lender (as defined in the Ground Lease) and to Tenant (as defined in the Ground Leas e) encumbering or hypothecating the Ground Lease, Tenant’s leasehold interest under the Ground Lease, or the Improvements (as defined in the Ground Lease) thereon, or any part thereof or inter est therein or the granting of a security interest in the direct or indirect equity interests in Tenant u nder the Ground Lease in accordance with the Ground Lease in connection with any Financing Trans action (as defined in the Ground Lease), then
61 4849-5657-2273v18/024036-0079
the City shall be deemed to have consented to such Permitted Lender and to RIDA encumbering or hypothecating (and RIDA may encumber or hypothecate ) this Sublease, RIDA’s sub-subleasehold interest in the Site or subleasehold interest in th e Improvements, or any part thereof or interest therein, or the granting of (and there may be grant ed) a security interest in the direct or indirect equity interests of RIDA (such encumbrance, hypothe cation or grant of any security interest in any direct or indirect equity interests of RIDA being r eferred to herein as a “Financing Transaction”), respectively, as security for such, or for any tran saction that is secured by such, Financing Transaction (as defined in the Ground Lease), pursu ant to any mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, pledge agreement or other similar instru ment that is the same as, or in substantially the same form as, the mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, pledge agreement or other similar instrument to which Landlord consented under the Gr ound Lease. For purposes of this Section 9.1 and for sake of clarity, the term “loan” does not i nclude an obligation by a Pledgor to reimburse MICC (or an Affiliate thereof) for payments made pursuant to a Permitted Loan Guaranty.
Section 9.2 Definition of “Permitted Sublease Financing Encumbr ance,” “Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance,” “Permitted Financing Encumbrance,” “Permitted Mortgage Lender,” “Permitted Lender” and “Equity Collateral Enforcement Action” . Each mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument securi ng RIDA’s payment and performance in connection with the Financing Transaction by a Permitted Mortg age Lender that is deemed consented to by City is a “Permitted Sublease Financing Encumbrance”. A ny security agreement, pledge agreement or similar instrument or agreement that creates any se curity interest in the Mezzanine Interests securing RIDA’s payment and performance in connection with a ny Financing Transaction by a Permitted Mezzanine Lender (including MICC or its Affiliate) that is deemed consented to by City is a “Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance” (together with the Permitted Sublease Financing Encumbrance, “Permitted Financing Encumbrance”). The term “Permitted Mortgage Lender” means any lender that is deemed approved by City pursuant to Section 9.1 and that is a party to a Financing Transaction for a Permitted Sublease Financing Encu mbrance made in accordance with this Sublease. City’s consent or deemed consent shall n ot be required for an assignment or transfer of indebtedness secured by a Permitted Financing Encum brance, where the terms and conditions of the Permitted Financing Encumbrance are not changed or modified in a manner for which RIDA must obtain City’s consent under Section 9.6(c). The te rm “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 Sublease Financing Encumbrance in favor of an agent that holds collateral as security for such indebtedness) need not be approved or deemed approved by City, and may assign or transfer such indebtedness without City’s consent or approval or deemed consent or deemed approval, but shall not be a Prohibited Person. The term “Equity Collateral Enforcement Action” means any ac tion or proceeding or other exercise of a Permitted Mezzanine Lender's rights and remedies in connection with its security interests in (or from) a Pledgor in order to realize upon its equity collateral, including, without limitation, the acceptance of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure for the equity collateral. With respect to any Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance, (a) the gra nting of such Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance shall not be deemed a Change of Control of RIDA, or (b) any enforcement action and/or the completion of any Equity Collateral Enfo rcement Action (including, without limitation, the acquisition of all (or substantially all) of the direct or indirect ownership of RIDA) or the exercise of voting control over RIDA by a Permitted Mezzanin e Lender with respect to such equity collateral security interest shall not be deemed a Change of Control of RIDA and shall not be prohibited by this Sublease.

Section 9.3 Rights of Permitted Lender .
(a) Voluntary Sublease Surrender. So long as a Permitt ed Financing Encumbrance remains outstanding, City will not acce pt the voluntary surrender, cancellation, or termination of this Sublease by RIDA before the Term expires, unless each Permitted Lender with an outstanding Permitted Financing Encumbrance provide s prior written consent thereto. Nothing in this Section 9.3(a) shall impair City’s right to te rminate this Sublease as a result of an Event of Default or by reason of City’s other rights to term inate this Sublease as set forth in this Sublease, subject to the Permitted Lender’s notice and cure r ights pursuant to Section 9.3(b) below, if applicable, and the New Sublease rights pursuant to Section 9.3(b)(iv) below, if applicable. (b) Right to Cure/New Sublease.2
(i) Notice of Default . So long as one or more loans secured by a Permitted Financing Encumbrance remain outstanding, City hereby agrees to give each Permitted Lender with a Permitted Financing Encumbrance that has provided City with its address and has requested a copy of the same, a copy of any written notice, which City gives to RIDA pursuant to Section 8.1, at the same time as it delivers it to RIDA, and such notice shall be deemed delivered three (3) days after delivery thereof to the respec tive Permitted Lenders, whereupon each Permitted Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation , to cure such default or Event of Default. This Sublease shall not terminate as a result of an Event of Default if a Permitted Lender cures such Event of Default within (x) thirty (30) days after the Pe rmitted Lender is deemed to have received such notice of an Event of Default in the payment of Ren t, or (y) subject to the terms of this Section 9.3(b), within ninety (90) days after the P ermitted Lender is deemed to have received such notice of any other Event of Default under this Sub lease. City shall accept performance of the terms of this Sublease by the Permitted Lender, or any ag ent, nominee or designee of the Permitted Lender that Permitted Lender notifies City in writing is p erforming the cure rights on behalf of and for the Permitted Lender under this Section 9.3.(b)(i) (eac h, a “Designated Nominee”); provided such performance is completed within the time frames set forth in this Section 9.3(b) as if the terms were performed by RIDA, regardless of whether there has been an Event of Default and Permitted Lender is liable to City for the performance by such Desig nated Nominee. If there is more than one Permitted Lender, then City shall recognize only th e cure rights of the Permitted Lender (whether such cure rights are exercised by Permitted 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 Sublease Financing Encu mbrance that has not been reconveyed and to which deemed consent has been received in accordanc e with this Sublease, without any liability to the City, RIDA or the other Permitted Lenders; prov ided, however, that City shall accept without the necessity of further inquiry, and without liability to the City, RIDA and any Permitted Lender, a written notice from the Permitted Mortgage Lender w ith the earliest recorded Permitted Sublease Financing Encumbrance that is still outstanding and to which City consented as confirmation that such Permitted Mortgage Lender has the first right to exercise any cure rights under this Sublease or enter into a New Sublease as set forth in this Arti cle 9, and such notice shall be valid for all purpo ses until such time as such Permitted Mortgage Lender i nforms City in writing that such notice is no longer valid or City receives a new written notice from the succeeding Permitted Mortgage Lender with the earliest recorded Permitted Financing Encumbrance that is outstanding and to which deemed consent has been received in accordance with this Sublease, stating that the prior Permitted Mortgage

Lender with the earliest recorded Permitted Subleas e Financing Encumbrance no longer has an outstanding Permitted Sublease Financing Encumbranc e as evidenced by a copy of the recorded reconveyance of the Deed of the Trust for such prior Permitted Mortgage Lender. (ii) Possession Required . If the Event of Default specified in Section 9.3(b)(i)(y) cannot be cured until the Perm itted Lender has obtained possession of the Facility (or, in the case of a Permitted Mezzanine Lender, control of RIDA) through foreclosure or otherwise, and if the Permitted Lender has delivere d to City within the ninety (90) day cure period specified in Section 9.3(b)(i)(y) Permitted Lender’ s written commitment (in form acceptable to City in its sole discretion) to use diligent efforts to cure (or to cause RIDA to cure) such Event of Defau lt with due diligence upon obtaining possession of the Facility (or, in the case of a Permitted Mezzanine Lender, control of RIDA) through foreclos ure or otherwise, then the Permitted Lender shall have such additional time (but in no event to exceed two hundred and seventy (270) days from the date of obtaining possession of the Facility) a s is reasonably necessary to cure (or to cause RIDA to cure) such Event of Default, but only if the Per mitted Lender: (x) unless judicially stayed, commences the judicial or other foreclosure of the Permitted Financing Encumbrance within ninety (90) days from receipt of written notice of the occ urrence of an Event of Default under this Sublease; (y) prosecutes said foreclosure with due diligence; and (z) cures, during said period, all monetary Events of Default and, during the period of said st ay and/or foreclosure, continues to pay and perform during said period of stay and/or foreclosu re all other monetary obligations of RIDA in a timely manner, including, without limitation, payme nt of all rent, taxes, assessments, utility charges , insurance premiums and all other amounts required t o be paid by RIDA under this Sublease.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall require a Permitted Lender who has taken possession of the Facility or, in the cas e of an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, control of RIDA, to cure any non-monetary default t hat, by its nature, is not reasonably capable of being cured by the Permitted Lender, or in the case of an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, RIDA, or is a Bankruptcy Event (each, an “Incurable Default”). All such Incurable Defaults shall be deemed to be permanently waived following the Permi tted Lender’s taking possession of the Facility or, in the case of an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, control of RIDA. All monetary obligations and non-monetary obligations that are n ot Incurable Defaults shall still be performed as required under this Sublease, subject to the extend ed cure periods set forth in this Section 9.3(b). In no event shall nuisance or waste caused by RIDA’s f ailure to use the Facility in accordance with the Permitted Use or failure to construct, operate and maintain the Facility in accordance with the requirements of this Sublease be an Incurable Default.
(iii) No Termination by City . City shall not terminate this Sublease by reason of an Event of Default if City has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 9.3 or i f the Permitted Lender (i) is curing or has cured all Events of Defaults under this Sublease in the payment of Rent within the time frames provided in Section 9.3(b)(i)(x) above, and (ii) has cured all other Events of Default within the time frames prov ided in Sections 9.3(b)(i)(y) and 9.3(b)(ii), other than any Incurable Default.

64 4849-5657-2273v18/024036-0079
reason, excluding in all cases a termination under Sections 5.1(d) or 5.2(b), then City shall deliver notice to each Permitted Lender that this Sublease has been terminated or rejected, as applicable.
The notice shall include a statement of all Rent th at would be due under this Sublease but for the termination hereof or the rejection of this Subleas e, as applicable, and all other Events of Default, or breaches under this Sublease, that are then known t o City, without the duty of inquiry; provided that in no event shall such notice prevent or estop City from asserting other breaches under this Sublease or Events of Default that become known to City afte r the time the notice is sent to the Permitted Lender. The Permitted Mortgage Lender or any Permi tted Mezzanine Lender or SPE Lender Affiliate (defined below) nominated by the first pr iority Permitted Mortgage Lender (a “New Tenant”) shall then have the option, to be exercise d within seventy-five (75) days following receipt of such notice of termination or rejection, as appl icable, to enter into a new lease (“New Sublease”) with City (the period of time during which any Perm itted Lender may require a New Sublease, the “New Lease Period”),, in each case, on the following terms and conditions:
(aa) The New Sublease shall commence as of the date of the termination or rejection of this Sublease, as appli cable, and shall be for the remainder of the Term, and at the Rent, terms, covenants, and conditions as this Sublease. (bb) Upon execution of the New Sublease, the New Te nant shall pay any and all sums that would at the time of exec ution thereof be due under this Sublease, but for termination, and shall pay all expenses, costs, attorneys’ fees, court costs, and disbursements incurred by City in connection with any default and termination of this Sublease, recovery of possession of the Facility, and the execution, preparation and delivery of the New Sublease. (cc) Upon execution of the New Sublease, the New Te nant shall cure all other defaults under this Sublease, which have not yet been cured (other than any Incurable Default), with due diligence in a timely manner in accordance with the cure periods under the Sublease assuming such cure periods commence with the execution of the New Sublease and without additional notice (provided that City has already p rovided such notice of such default to New Tenant).
(dd) Nothing herein shall be construed to require C ity to deliver possession of the Facility to the New Tenant. Upon execution and delivery of the New Sublease, the New Tenant may take any and all appropriate actions as may be necessary to remove parties in possession from the Facility. City shall not grant any real property interest in the Facility during the seventy-five (75) day period set forth in Section 9.3(b)(iv). (ee) The sublessee under each sub-sub-sublease of t he Site and sub-sublease of the Improvements shall be deemed to have agreed that each sublessee whose sub- sub-sublease of the Site or the sub-sublease of the Improvements, as applicable, was in effect immediately prior to the execution of such New Subl ease shall, on the date of its execution or the commencement of its term, whichever is later, pursu ant to its sub-sub-sublease of the Site or its sub- sublease of the Improvements, as applicable, attorn to the New Tenant and the New Tenant shall accept such attornment of each sub-sub-sublease of the Site or each sub-sublease of the Improvements, as applicable, which was entered into in compliance with the terms hereof; provided that City shall have no obligation to require the s ame of sublessee and shall have no liability to New Tenant resulting from the failure of any sublessee to comply with this Section 9.3(b)(iv)(ee).
65 4849-5657-2273v18/024036-0079
During such seventy-five (75) day period and therea fter if the Permitted Lender designated to exercise the cure rights under Sectio n 9.3(b)(i) timely accepts such offer of a New Sublease until the termination or expiration of suc h New Sublease, ownership of the Improvements shall not vest in City, and the Permitted Lender’s lien that elected to exercise the cure rights under Section 9.3(b)(i) in and to the Improvements shall continue unaffected by the termination of this Sublease.
Should neither the Permitted Lender designated to e xercise the cure rights under Section 9.3(b)(i) nor its Designated Nominee accept said offer for such New Sublease in writing within said seventy-five (75) day period, or, havin g so accepted said offer, should it fail promptly t o execute the New Sublease or satisfy the requirement s of clauses (ii) and (iii) above in a timely manner, then the termination of this Sublease shall be effective as to all of the Permitted Lenders an d the Permitted Lenders shall have no further rights hereunder.
Furthermore, if the first priority Permitted Mortga ge Lender nominates Permitted Mezzanine Lender or an SPE Lender Affiliate that is affiliated with the Permitted Mezzanine Lender to receive the New Sublease, then the New Tenant ma y, concurrently or promptly after receipt of the New Sublease, enter into a new Financing Transactio n with the Permitted Mortgage Lender(s) on substantially the same terms as those of the Financ ing Transaction(s) in place immediately prior to termination of this Sublease (but with modification s, as necessary, to reflect the New Sublease and the new identity of the tenant). The security interest on the New Sublease granted in connection with such Financing Transaction will be a Permitted Subl ease Financing Encumbrance. It is the intent of this provision to permit the Permitted Lender(s) that do not receive a New Sublease to be in the same position in which they would have been had no Sublease termination occurred. The New Tenant will provide to City notice of any such Financing Transa ction, together with copies of documents evidencing such Financing Transaction and redlines against the previously existing documents evidencing the Financing Transaction that is, in effect, being continued.
The provisions of this Section 9.3(b)(iv) shall and are expressly intended to survive a termination or rejection of this Sublease in the ma nner set forth in this Section 9.3(b)(iv) to permit the New Tenant the right to exercise the option to enter into New Sublease in accordance with this Section 9.3(b)(iv).
(c) Loan Default. If a Permitted Financing Encumbrance or any loan secured by a Permitted Financing Encumbrance is in default at an y time, then the Permitted Lender shall, as provided by Law, have the right, without City’s pri or consent, to perform the following; provided that the Permitted Lender exercises such rights as to the whole of Permitted Lender’s interest in the Ground Lease, Project Implementation Agreement, and this Sublease and/or RIDA, as the case may be, and not portions thereof:
(i) In the case of a Permitted Mortgage Lender, accept an Assignment of this Sublease in lieu of foreclosure or, in the cas e of a Permitted Mezzanine Lender, accept an assignment of its equity collateral resulting from an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action; or (ii) In the case of a Permitted Mortgage Lender, request that a court of competent jurisdiction appoint a receiver as to any or all of the Facility or cause a foreclosure sale to be held pursuant to either judicial proceedings, po wer of sale and/or foreclosure proceedings as provided in its Permitted Sublease Financing Encumbrance;
66 4849-5657-2273v18/024036-0079
(iii) In the case of a Permitted Mezzanine Lender, exerci se such remedies as may be permitted by its Permitted Equity Financing Encumbrance or applicable Law; provided, however, that no Assignment or Transfer t o the successful bidder (a “Foreclosure Purchaser”) that is neither a Permitted Lender, nor an Affiliate of a Permitted Lender that is a speci al purpose entity set up and operated by a Permitted L ender specifically to take and hold (directly or indirectly) title to the Site or the Mezzanine Inte rests (“SPE Lender Affiliate”) shall be effective without City’s prior written consent in accordance with Section 9.4 below.

Notwithstanding the fo regoing, nothing in this Section 9.3(d) shall limit the liability of a Permitted Lender for damage or l oss caused by Permitted Lender’s attempt to cure a non-monetary Event of Default. A Permitted Lender that has: (i) acquired the sub-subleasehold interest in the Site and the subleasehold interest in the Improvements and assumed RIDA’s obligations, or (ii) entered into a New Sublease pu rsuant to Section 9.3(b)(iv) shall be released from all obligations under this Sublease first arising a fter the effective date of the assignment and assumption of such sub-subleasehold interest and su ch subleasehold interest to an assignee deemed consented to by City, in accordance with Section 9.4.

So long as a Permitted Financing Encumbrance remains outstanding, City shall not gra nt consent or be deemed to consent to any voluntary cancellation, surrender, amendment or mod ification of this Sublease that is not consented to in writing by each Permitted Lender with an outs tanding Permitted Sublease Financing Encumbrance of which City has received notice.
(c) City’s Deemed Consent to Potential Bidders. City’s consent or deemed consent shall not be required for a Transfer to a F oreclosure Purchaser that is a Permitted Lender or an SPE Lender Affiliate. If Landlord under the Gro und Lease consents to an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action (as defined in the Ground Lease) that is a foreclosure on the Mezzanine Interests (as defined in the Ground Lease) in accordance with the Ground Lease, then the City shall be deemed to have consented to an Equity Collateral Enforceme nt Action that is a foreclosure on the Mezzanine Interest.

based on the status of the construction of the Conv ention Center at the time of the applicable foreclosure or action in lieu of foreclosure, as ap plicable, but in no event shall such New Convention Center Outside Construction Completion Date be exte nded by a period that does not reasonably take into account the status of the construction of the Convention Center at the time of the applicable foreclosure or action in lieu of foreclosure, as ap plicable, and the amount of time that it would reasonably take a sophisticated developer with expe rience constructing and operating convention centers to Complete the Convention Center and in no event shall such New Convention Center Outside Construction Completion Date extend beyond four (4) years from the Original Outside Construction Completion Date set forth in the Proje ct Implementation Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by City. Once City and such Foreclosure Purchaser agree on a New Convention Center Completion Timetable, then such Foreclosure Purchas er shall Complete the Convention Center in accordance with such New Convention Center Completi on Timetable and such Foreclosure Purchaser shall pay Construction Late Charges in ac cordance with the Project Implementation Agreement.
