Concerning the preceding Subparagraphs B.I.e.ii, iii and iv, if LESSOR becomes aware of any such act or
acts, LESSOR shall timely notify LESSEE so that LESSEE can comply with Subparagraphs B.1.e.ii, iii and iv.
If the internal Revenue Service has determined that the interest portion of the payments to be made by
LESSEE under a Lease is includible in LESSOR'S gross income for federal income tax purposes because of
LESSEE'S action or failure to take any action (the "Taxable Interest Rate Date"), the payments to be
made by LESSEE under such Lease shall be adjusted retroactive to the date as of which the
interest portion of the payments are determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be includible
in LESSOR'S gross income for federal income tax purposes to reflect the Annual Taxable Interest Rate as set
forth in the applicable Schedule. This increase in the payments to be made by LESSEE under the
applicable Lease shall be an additional payment due and payable over the remaining payments to be made by
LESSEE under the applicable Lease retroactive to the date as of which the interest portion of the
payments are determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be includible in LESSOR'S gross income
for federal income tax purposes. The obligation to revise the amount of the payments to be made by LESSEE
under this Subparagraph for a failure to execute the information reports shall survive the termination of the
applicable Lease unless the termination results from a non-appropriation of funds or non-availability of budgeted
funds for such Lease pursuant to Paragraph K 1 of this Agreement. In the event the interest portion of the
payments to be made by LESSEE under the applicable Lease subsequently are determined by the Internal
Revenue Service to not be includable in LESSORS gross income, the payments to be made by LESSEE shall be
reduced to the payments originally required under the applicable Lease, effective as of the first payment in
which the interest payment was determined to be no longer includable in LESSOR'S gross income. In the event
such increased payment or payments already had been made by LESSEE, the next payment or payments due by
LESSEE shall be reduced by the overpayment made by LESSEE for such Lease.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a representation that the interest portion of the
payments to be made by Lessee under any Lease are excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes.
f. Essential Use. LESSEE represents that the use of the Property under each Lease is essential
to its operations.
Compliance with Laws. LESSEE agrees to comply in all respects with all applicable laws,
regulations and rulings of any legislative, executive, administrative, or judicial body, including,
without limitation, all anti-money laundering laws and regulations; provided that LESSEE may
contest in good faith the validity or application of any such law, regulation or ruling in any
reasonable manner that does not, in the opinion of LESSOR, adversely affect the interest
(including the reversionary interest) of LESSOR in and to the Property or its interest or rights
under this Agreement or any Lease.
h. Essential Use. LESSEE has kept, and throughout the Lease Term for each Lease shall keep, its
books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices
consistently applied, and shall deliver to LESSOR (i) annual audited financial statements
(including (1)a balance sheet, (2) statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund balances
for budget and actual, (3) statement of cash flows, and (4) footnotes, schedules and attachments to

and information as LESSOR may reasonably request, and (iii) upon LESSOR's request, its annual
budget for any prior or current fiscal year or the following fiscal year. The financial statements
described in subsection (h) shall be accompanied by an unqualified opinion of LESSEE'S auditor.

appropriate • sufficient funds or insufficient taxes are collected to meet the budget, resulting in

including any other portion of the Property directly or indirectly involved in the performance of
the function of such portion of the Property, or (b) all the Property, may be terminated by LESSEE
