C. Term. The Term of this Lease (“Term”) shall commence on the date the last party signs this Lease (“Commencement Date) and shall expire at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) on the last day of the Rental Period, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as herein provided.

Rent. A. Rent. (1) Annual Rent. Lessee will pay to Lessor, during the Term of this Lease annual rental (“Rent”) in the amount of $120.00. The amount of Rent reflects the entire cost of construction of the Improvements, tangible benefits to be received by the Lessor as a result of Lessee’s performance under the Development Agreement, including enhanced timely economic activity, rather than fair market rental value, and the Lessor’s policy and desire to provide additional entertainment and recreational opportunities and amenities near the Westgate entertainment district. (2) Annual Installments. Unless Lessee chooses to prepay the annual Rent amount for the entire Term of this Lease, Rent will be paid in annual installments, in advance, commencing on the Commencement Date, and on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, during the Term. Any 4 WA 15266486.4 Rent pre-paid to the City as provided herein shall not be repaid or refunded to Lessee upon any early termination of this Lease. (3) Other Payments and Obligations. Rent will be paid in addition to all of the other payments to be made by Lessee and other obligations to be performed by Lessee, as hereinafter provided. B. Non-Subordination. Lessor’s interest in this Lease, as the same may be modified, amended or renewed, will not be subject or subordinate to: (a) any mortgage now or hereafter placed upon Lessee’s interest in this Lease or the Premises; or (b) any other liens or encumbrances hereafter affecting Lessee’s interest in this Lease or the Premises. C. No Release of Obligations. Except as provided in this Lease, no happening, event, occurrence, or situation during the Rental Period, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and however extraordinary (including, without limitation, Lessee’s failure, refusal, or inability for any reason to construct additional Buildings or Improvements) shall permit the Lessee to: (i) quit or surrender the Premises or this Lease; (ii) relieve the Lessee of its liability to pay the Rent and Additional Payments and other charges under this Lease; or (iii) relieve the Lessee of any of its other obligations under this Lease (including, but not limited to, Lessee’s obligation to indemnify Lessor). 4. Additional Payments. Lessee shall pay (“Additional Payments”) during the Term hereof, without notice and without abatement, deduction or setoff, before any fine, penalty, interest, or cost may be added thereto, or become due or be imposed by operation of law for the nonpayment thereof, the following: A. Impositions. Lessee shall pay all sums, impositions, costs, expenses and other payments and all taxes (including [i] personal property taxes; [ii] taxes on rents, leases or occupancy, if any; [iii] ad valorem and similar taxes and assessments, if any; and [iv] any and all government property improvement lease excise tax or other similar tax), assessments, special assessments, enhanced municipal services district assessments, water and sewer fees, rates and charges, charges for public utilities, excises, levies, licenses, and permit fees, and other governmental or quasi-governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever which, at any time during the Term hereof may be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon, or grow or become due and payable out of or with respect to, or become a lien on, the Premises or any part thereof, or any appurtenances thereto, any use or occupation of the Premises, or such franchises as may be appurtenant to the use of the Premises (all of which are sometimes herein referred to collectively as “Impositions” and individually as an “Imposition”). B. Government Property Lease Excise Tax. As required under Arizona Revised Statutes Section 42-6206, Lessee is hereby notified of its potential tax liability under the Government Property Lease Excise Tax provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 42-6201, et seq (“GPLET”). Failure of Lessee to pay the tax after notice and an opportunity to cure is an Event of Default that could result in the termination of Lessee’s interest in this Lease and of its right to occupy the Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for any reason, including, without limitation, an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor will convey title to the Premises to Lessee pursuant to Section 26. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other term of this Lease (including, but not limited to, the Recitals to this Lease), Lessor does not represent, warrant or guarantee that the benefits provided by GPLET, including but not limited to any abatement of GPLET during any portion of the Term, will be available or in effect at any time during the Term. The benefits provided by GPLET are not a condition to the effectiveness of this Lease or Lessee’s obligations under this Lease; and the nonexistence or failure of GPLET to be maintained, or any changes in or amendments to, GPLET, will not be a default by Lessor. In the event that (for any reason, including but not limited to legislative action taken by the Arizona Legislature 5 WA 15266486.4 or a decision from an Arizona court of competent jurisdiction) GPLET is no longer available, or the provisions of GPLET are modified to the extent that Lessee believes that this Lease no longer provides the benefits intended by Lessee, in Lessee’s sole discretion, then Lessee may terminate this Lease, subject to Lessee’s obligations of indemnity that survive the termination of this Lease, in which event the Land and Improvements will be conveyed to Lessee by Lessor pursuant to Section 26. 5. Insurance. A. Lessee’s Obligation to Insure. Lessee, at its sole expense, shall at all times during the Term maintain in full force a policy or policies of comprehensive liability insurance, including real and personal property damage, written by one or more responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of Arizona. Each policy shall be written on an occurrence basis, and name the Lessor as an additional insured. The policies must also insure Lessee and Lessor against liability for injury to persons, including claims for death of any person or persons occurring in, on or about the Premises, or arising out of Lessee's maintenance, use and occupancy thereof. All public liability and personal property damage policies shall contain a provision that Lessor, named as an additional insured, shall be entitled to recovery under the policies for any loss occasioned to it, its agents, contractors, employees and elected officials by reason of the negligence or wrongdoing of Lessee, its servants, agents and employees or sublessees. Further, the policies shall provide that their coverage is primary over any other insurance coverage available to Lessor, its agents, contractors, employees and elected officials. All policies of insurance delivered to Lessor must contain a provision that the company writing the policy shall give to Lessor thirty (30) days’ notice in writing in advance of any cancellation or lapse, or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance. B. The insurance as described in Section 5(A) above shall afford protection not less than $2,000,000 in combined single limits for bodily injury and property damage and each liability policy shall be written on an occurrence basis; provided, however, that the minimum amount of coverage for the above shall be adjusted upward on Lessor's reasonable request so that such respective minimum amounts of coverage shall not be less than the amounts then required by statute or generally carried on similarly improved real estate in the County herein described, whichever is greater. If at any time Lessee fails, neglects or refuses to cause such insurance to be provided and maintained, then Lessor may, at its election, procure or renew such insurance and any amounts paid therefor by Lessor shall be an additional amount due within 30 days. C. Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, Lessee's obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance maintained by Lessee, provided, however, that the coverage afforded Lessor will not be reduced by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance. D. Copies. Evidence of policies required by this Article shall be delivered to Lessor prior to Lessee's occupancy of the Premises. At Lessor’s request, Lessee will provide copies of such policies. Lessee shall provide Lessor with a current certificate of insurance and at Lessor's request provide proof of payment. 6. Lessor’s Performance for Lessee. If Lessee fails to pay any Imposition or make any other payment required to be made under this Lease or shall default in the performance of any other covenant, agreement, term, provision, limitation, or condition herein contained, following any applicable Notice required by Section 14, Lessor may, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, make such payment or remedy such other default for the account and at the expense of Lessee, immediately and without notice. 6 WA 15266486.4 7. Uses and Maintenance. A. Absence of Warranties. Lessee, as the prior owner of the Land and the party that constructed (or caused the construction of) the Improvements, now leases the Premises after a full and complete examination thereof, as well as the title thereto and knowledge of its present uses and all restrictions on use. Lessee accepts the Premises in the condition or state in which they exist as of the Commencement Date without any representation or warranty, express or implied in fact or by law, by Lessor and without recourse to Lessor, as to the title, the nature, condition, or usability of the Premises or the use or uses to which the Premises or any part thereof may be put. B. Permitted Uses. Lessee agrees that it shall use the Premises only for those purposes and uses described in the Development Agreement. C. Maintenance, Repairs, and Indemnity. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain and keep the Premises in commercially acceptable order, which shall include without limitation compliance with all Applicable laws. It is the intent of Lessor and Lessee that this Lease be an “absolute net lease” to Lessor, with Lessor having no obligation during the Term for the maintenance, repair or replacement of the Premises. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, pay and hold Lessor harmless for, from and against any and all Claims, upon or arising out of any accident, injury, or damage to any person or property occurring in or upon the Premises, in accordance with Section 11. The provisions of this Section 7(C), however, will not apply to Claims caused solely by the gross negligence or willful action of the Lessor Indemnified Parties. D. Alterations. During the Term, Lessee, without the consent or approval of Lessor, may erect structures, make any improvements, or do any other construction work on the Premises or alter, modify, or make additions, improvements, or repairs to or replacements of any structure, now existing or built at any time during the Term hereof, or install any fixtures in the Premises; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7(D) in any way modifies, alters or waives Lessee’s obligation to comply with all Applicable Laws and to obtain all required permits, inspections and approvals. Lessee will provide notice to Lessor of such Alterations at least once every three months. E. Easements, Dedications and Other Matters. At the written request of Lessee, and to the extent required by Lessor as holder of the fee interest in the Premises, Lessor shall dedicate or initiate a request for dedication to public use of any portion of the Premises owned by Lessor located within any roads, alleys or easements to the appropriate governmental authority. Lessor also agrees to cooperate with the subdivision of all or any portion of the Premises; execute (or participate in a request for initiation by the appropriate commission or department of) petitions seeking a change in zoning for all or a portion of the Premises; consent to the making and recording, or either, of any map, plat, site plan, condominium documents, construction, operation, and reciprocal easement agreement, declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, or other instrument of or relating to the Land or Premises or any part thereof; join in granting any easements on the Land or Premises; and execute and deliver (in recordable form where appropriate) all other instruments and perform all other acts reasonably necessary or appropriate to the development, subdivision, entitlement, construction, demolition, redevelopment or reconstruction of the Premises; provided, however, that all such requests of Lessee will be in compliance with all Applicable Laws, and all such acts requested of Lessor will be free from any cost or expense to Lessor, or in the event that there are costs and expenses caused by request of Lessee, Lessee is responsible for such costs and expenses. 8. Compliance with Applicable Laws. 7 WA 15266486.4 A. Lessee Obligations. Lessee shall timely assume and perform any and all obligations of Lessor under any covenants, easements, and agreements affecting the title to the Premises and shall diligently comply with, at its own expense during the Term hereof, all Applicable Laws concerning the Premises or any part thereof, or the use thereof, whether or not such Applicable Laws require the making of structural alterations or the use or application of portions of the Premises for compliance therewith or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises, the intention of the parties being with respect thereto that Lessee, during the Term hereby granted, shall discharge and perform all the obligations of Lessor, as well as all obligations of Lessee, arising as aforesaid, and indemnify, defend, pay and hold Lessor harmless for, from and against all such matters, so that at all times the Net Rent of the Premises shall absolutely be net to the Lessor without deduction or expenses on account of any such law, act, rule, requirement, order direction, ordinance and/or regulation whatever it may be. B. Certificate of Occupancy. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall diligently obtain any certificate of occupancy with respect to the Premises which may at any time be required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction thereof, including Lessor. 9. Ownership and Operation of Premises. A. Ownership of Improvements. During Term. During the Term, title to the Premises is vested in Lessor free and clear of all monetary liens, claims, and encumbrances, except current taxes and assessments, if any. B. Lessee’s Management and Operating Covenant. During the Term, Lessee shall manage and operate (or cause to be managed and operated) the Premises in accordance with all Applicable Laws. 10. Impairment of Lessor’s Title. A. No Liens. Lessee shall not create, or suffer to be created or to remain, and shall promptly discharge, any mechanics’, laborer’s, or materialman’s lien which might be or become a lien, encumbrance, or charge upon the Premises or any part thereof or the income therefrom (a “Mechanics’ Lien”). Lessee also will not suffer any other matter or thing arising out of Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises whereby the estate, rights, and interests of Lessor in the Premises or any part thereof might be diminished or impaired. B. Discharge. If any Mechanics’ Lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises or any part thereof, Lessee, within thirty (30) days after notice of the filing thereof, shall cause such Mechanics’ Lien to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise. Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of its action to either satisfy or contest the Mechanics’ Lien. C. Contest. Lessee, if it shall so desire, and at its sole cost and expense, may contest the validity or amount of any Mechanics’ Lien, in which event, Lessee may defer the payment thereof during the pendency of such contest. In the event such Mechanics’ Lien is not extinguished as a result of such contest, Lessee will discharge the Mechanic’s Lien in accordance with Section 10(B). 11. Indemnification of Lessor. A. Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, pay and hold Lessor and its Council members, officers, employees, and agents (including Lessor, collectively, “Lessor Indemnified 8 WA 15266486.4 Parties”) harmless for, from, and against (collectively, “Indemnify”) any and all claims, liabilities, suits, obligations, fines, damages, penalties, claims, costs, losses, demands, lawsuits, actions, charges and expenses, of any nature including but not limited to property damage, personal injury and wrongful death, alleged by Third Parties (collectively, “Claims”), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Lessor (and/or the other Lessor Indemnified Parties) in Lessor’s capacity as the owner of the Premises or as Lessor under this Lease, that arise (or are alleged to arise) in whole or in part out of: (1) any act or omission of Lessee or any of its contractors, agents, employees, sublessees, or invitees (collectively, “Lessee’s Premises Users”) in or on the Premises; (2) the use or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee or Lessee’s Premises Users; or (3) the failure by Lessee or Lessee’s Premises Users to comply with or fulfill its obligations required by this Lease or Applicable Laws. Subject to Section 11(B) below, such obligation to Indemnify shall extend to and encompass all costs incurred by Lessor Indemnified Parties in defending against the Claims, including but not limited to attorney, witness and expert fees, and all other litigation- related expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee’s obligation to Indemnify pursuant to this Section 11 does not extend to Claims attributable to the sole exclusive negligence or willful action of the Lessor Indemnified Parties. B. Promptly after Lessor receives written notice of any pending or threatened litigation against Lessor that may be subject to Lessee’s indemnity obligations under this Section 11(B), Lessor will deliver a copy of such written notice to Lessee and Lessor will tender sole control of the indemnified portion of the legal proceeding to Lessee, but Lessor shall have the right to approve counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor’s failure to deliver written notice to Lessee within a reasonable time after Lessee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve Lessee of any liability to the Lessor under this indemnity only if, and to the extent that, such failure is prejudicial to Lessee’s ability to defend such action. Lessor may not settle, compromise, stipulate to a judgment, or otherwise take any action that would adversely affect Lessee’s right to defend the claim without the express written consent of Lessee. C. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for a period of two (2) years or any applicable statute of limitations under Arizona law, whichever is later, although Lessee will indemnify Lessor for any Claims that relate to events that occurred while the Agreement was in effect and the applicable statute of limitations had not expired. 12. Damage or Destruction. A. Lessee Repair and Restoration. If, at any time during the Term, the Premises (or any part thereof) shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other Act of God, Lessee may elect in writing within ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction, either: (i) to continue this Lease in full force and effect, and Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, may, but shall not be obligated to, rebuild or repair the portion of the Premises so damaged or destroyed (subject in all events to Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease as set forth in Section 12(D)); or (ii) to terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises so damaged or destroyed as Lessee may elect. Lessor and Lessee agree that the provisions of A.R.S. § 33- 343 shall not apply to this Lease. In the event that Lessee elects to repair or rebuild the Improvements on the portion of the Land it previously occupied, any such repair or rebuilding shall be performed at the sole cost and expense of Lessee. If there are insurance proceeds resulting from such damage or destruction, as between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall be solely entitled to such proceeds, whether or not Lessee rebuilds equivalent Improvements or repairs the Improvements to return them to the substantially same use. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall immediately undertake any Work necessary to protect the public from any actual or potential harm caused by the current condition of the Premises. B. Notwithstanding Section 12(A), if, at any time during the Term, the Lake (or any part thereof) shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other occurrence of any kind or nature, ordinary or 9 WA 15266486.4 extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, Lessee shall repair or rebuild the Lake at the sole cost and expense of Lessee. C. Payment of Insurance Proceeds. As between Lessor and Lessee, all insurance proceeds on account of such damage or destruction under the policies of insurance provided for in Section 5 or otherwise shall be paid to Lessee, unless such proceeds are specifically designated to compensate the City as an additional insured. If Lessee elects to restore or repair the Improvements and the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of the Work, Lessee shall solely be responsible for paying the amount of any such deficiency. Under no circumstances shall Lessor be obligated to make any payment, reimbursement, or contribution towards the cost of the Work. D. Failure to Commence Repairs. If Work to permanently repair, replace or rebuild the Premises or any part thereof has not commenced within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the damage or destruction, or if such Work after commencement shall not proceed expeditiously, Lessor, following any applicable Notice and cure period required by Section 14, may terminate this Lease with respect to that portion of the Premises and immediately transfer ownership of that portion of the Land to Lessee in accordance with Section 26 of this Lease. However, in the event that Lessee fails to initiate Work to permanently repair, replace or rebuild the Lake within ninety (90) days after the damage or destruction, or if such Work after commencement shall not proceed expeditiously, Lessor, following any applicable Notice and cure period required by Section 14, may terminate this Lease and immediately transfer ownership of the Land to Lessee in accordance with Section 26 of this Lease. E. Lease Obligations Continue. In no event shall Lessee be entitled to any abatement, allowance, reduction, or suspension of Rent, Additional Payments, and other charges because part or all of the Premises has been damaged or destroyed or requires Work to return it to its useful purpose. 13. Encumbrances and Assignments. A. At any time that Lessee is not in default of any term or condition of this Lease, Lessee is hereby given the absolute right without the Lessor’s consent to create a consensual lien on or security interest in Lessee’s leasehold interest under this Lease (and in any subleases and the rents, income and profits therefrom) by mortgage, deed of trust, collateral assignment or otherwise. Any such security interest shall be referred to herein as a “Permitted Mortgage,” and the holder of a Permitted Mortgage shall be referred to herein as a “Permitted Mortgagee.” (1) With respect to such Permitted Mortgage, Lessor will agree to a non- disturbance and recognition agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, or other commercially standard form of non-disturbance and recognition agreement, with a Lender, as well as other reasonable, non-material or administrative modifications to this Lease requested by a Lender. In no event will Lessor subordinate its interest in the Premises to any leasehold financing. (2) A Permitted Mortgage shall cover no interest in the real property other than Lessee’s leasehold interest in the Premises (and in any subleases and the rents, income and profits therefrom) and any personal property, fixtures, or other assets of Lessee. (3) Lessee or the holder of a Permitted Mortgage shall promptly deliver to Lessor in the manner herein provided for the giving of notice to Lessor, a true copy of the Permitted Mortgage(s), of any assignment thereof, and of the satisfaction thereof; and (4) For the purpose of this Section 13, the making of a Permitted Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease, nor shall any holder of a Permitted 10 WA 15266486.4 Mortgage, as such, be deemed an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created so as to require such holder of a Permitted Mortgage, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions on the part of Lessee to be performed hereunder. No liability for the performance of Lessee’s covenants and agreements hereunder shall attach to or be imposed upon any Permitted Mortgagee due solely to the making of the Permitted Mortgage; but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this Lease under any instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Mortgage, shall be deemed to be an assignee or transferee within the meaning of this Section and shall be deemed to have assumed the performance of all the terms, covenants, and conditions on the part of Lessee to be performed hereunder from and after the date of such purchase and assignment and the liability shall attach only during the term of ownership of the leasehold estate by said Permitted Mortgagee. (5) No act or agreement between or on the part of Lessor or Lessee to cancel, terminate, surrender, amend, or modify this Lease or Lessee’s right to possession shall be binding upon or effective as against the Permitted Mortgagee without its prior written consent. B. No Transfer by the Lessee will be permitted under this Lease except as specifically permitted under the Development Agreement. Lessor agrees that, in the event of a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Development Agreement) of a portion of the Premises (a “Development Parcel”), Lessor will enter into a new lease of the Development Parcel with the Lessee or Successor Lessee (a “New Lease”), in which the Successor Lessee assumes all of the obligations of Lessee under the Lease with respect to the Development Parcel, and which New Lease shall commence as of the date of the Permitted Transfer and shall run for the remainder of the original Term of this Lease, at the prorated Net Rent and upon the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained, provided: (1) Lessee or Successor Lessee shall give Lessor at least 60 days’ written notice of the Permitted Transfer. (2) Upon the Permitted Transfer of the Development Parcel and the execution of a New Lease covering the Development Parcel, this Lease shall automatically be amended to exclude the Development Parcel but shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the remainder of the Premises. In such event, Lessor and Lessee shall, at the request of the other, execute an amendment to this Lease to evidence such exclusion. Each such New Lease shall be separate from this Lease and no default under or termination of a New Lease shall affect this Lease or other New Leases. (3) Lessee or the Successor Lessee shall pay to Lessor at the time of execution and delivery of the New Lease any and all sums that would, at that time, be due and unpaid pursuant to this Lease but for its partial termination as to the portion of the Premises consisting of the Development Parcel, and in addition thereto all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that Lessor shall have incurred by reason of such partial termination; (4) Lessee and each Successor Lessee shall have the right to grant a consensual lien on or security interest in its leasehold interest in the Development Parcel and secure such financing with a Permitted Mortgage, and the Permitted Mortgagee providing such financing shall receive the same rights and obligations of a Permitted Mortgagee under this Lease; and (5) Lessee and each Successor Lessee shall, as to the Development Parcel, perform and observe all covenants in this Lease to be performed and observed by Lessee, and shall further remedy any other conditions pertaining to the Development Parcel that Lessee under the Lease was obligated to perform under its terms, to the extent the same are reasonably susceptible of being cured by the Lessee or Successor Lessee. 11 WA 15266486.4 14. Default by Lessee. A. Events of Lessee Default. The happening of any one of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall be considered a material breach and default by Lessee under this Lease: (1) Monetary Default. Lessee’s default in the due and punctual payment of any Rent or Additional Payments (a “Monetary Default”) and such Monetary Default is not cured within forty-five (45) days after written notice thereof to Lessee; or (2) Non-Monetary Default. Lessee’s default in the performance of or compliance with any of the covenants, agreements, terms, limitations, or conditions of this Lease other than a Monetary Default, and such default shall continue for one hundred eighty (180) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of such failure is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred if Lessee shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion, although if Lessee commences a cure and subsequently fails to diligently prosecute the cure, then a Non-Monetary Default has occurred; or (3) Bankruptcy. If Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or take the benefit of any relevant legislation that may be in force for bankrupt or insolvent debtors or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state, or other statute, law or regulation, or if Lessee shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessee or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (4) Insurance -- Lapse or Termination. The lapse or cancellation of any policy of insurance required herein, in whole or in part for the benefit of Lessor, shall be an event of default. No cure of such default can be accomplished unless a new or renewed policy is issued which specifically provides the required coverage to the Lessor for any liability arising during the lapsed or previously uncovered period; or (5) Go Dark. Lessee ceases to conduct business operations (including any decommissioning activities) on, at or from the Premises for a period in excess of six (6) months; provided, however, that this provision does not include a cessation of business operations resulting from a casualty or other act of Force Majeure. B. No Implied Waivers. No failure by Lessor to insist upon strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof, and no acceptance of full or partial Net Rent or Additional Payments during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof to be performed or complied with by Lessor or Lessee, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the party to be charged therewith. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term, limitation and condition hereof shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach hereof. C. Remedies Cumulative. In the event of any breach by Lessee of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions hereof, subject to the rights, privileges and protections granted to Permitted Mortgagees pursuant to Section 13(A) and subject to Section 14(F), Lessor shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity, by 12 WA 15266486.4 statute or by this Lease for such breach. In the event of Lessee’s failure to pay Rent or Additional Payments on the date when due, Lessee shall pay Lessor interest on any such overdue payments and associated late charges at the Default Rate, but in no event an amount greater than permitted by Applicable Law, but this shall in no way limit any claim for damages for Lessor for any breach or default by Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessor hereby waives any right to seek consequential, punitive, exemplary or special damages for a breach of this Lease. D. Late Charge. In the event that any payment required to be made by Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease is not received within sixty (60) days after the due date thereof, a late charge shall become immediately due and payable as an Additional Payment in an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2-1/2%) of the late payment. E. Specific Performance. If a Lessee default is not cured within any applicable time period after service of Notice of the default, Lessor may, at its option, thereafter (but not before), and without waiving any of Lessor’s other remedies for an Event of Default by Lessee, commence an action for specific performance of the terms of this Lease pertaining to such Event of Default. F. Termination of Lease. (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14(C), Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease is limited to (each of the following, a “Termination Event.”): (a) an Event of Lessee Default for failure of Lessee to procure and maintain insurance as required under Section 5 of this Lease that is not cured within any applicable time period after service of Notice of the default; (b) a Transfer in violation of Section 13(B), provided however, that the termination will be effective only with respect to the portion of the Premises that is the subject of such Transfer; (c) a breach by Lessee of Section 12(D) of this Lease, provided however that the termination will be effective only with respect to the that portion of the Premises that was damaged or destroyed; and (d) a failure of Lessee to Indemnify Lessor pursuant to Section 7(C) or Section 11(A) of this Lease which failure is not cured within sixty (60) days of service of Notice of the Default. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, Lessor, may, at its option and with no further act or Notice required, terminate this Lease and quitclaim the Land and Improvements (or applicable portion of the Land and Improvements) to Lessee; provided however that the termination of this Lease and the conveyance of the Land and Improvements to Lessee will not terminate or otherwise restrict Lessee’s obligations of indemnification of Lessor which survive the termination of this Lease. G. Lessee Liability Continues. No such expiration or termination of this Lease shall relieve Lessee of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease that by their terms survive any such expiration or termination of this Lease. 15. Default by Lessor. In the event of any breach by Lessor of any of the covenants, agreements, terms, or conditions hereof, Lessee’s sole and exclusive remedies are: (i) pursue an injunction to enjoin the breach; (ii) pursue specific performance of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease; or (iii) 13 WA 15266486.4 terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessee hereby waives and has no right to seek or recover from Lessor damages of any kind, including (but not limited to) actual, consequential, punitive, exemplary or special damages for a breach of this Lease. 16. Limited Severability. Lessor and Lessee each believes that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease comply with all Applicable Laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this Lease is declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring Lessor to do any act in violation of any Applicable Laws), such provision will be deemed severed from this Lease and this Lease will otherwise remain in full force and effect; The Parties further agree, in such circumstances, to do all acts and to execute all amendments, instruments and consents necessary to accomplish and to give effect to the purposes of this Lease, as reformed. 17.

Consents. A. Parties and Notice. Whenever the consent or approval of a Party to this Lease is required or reasonably requested under this Lease, if the Party whose consent or approval is requested fails to notify the other Party in writing within fifteen (15) days (except where a different period is otherwise specified herein for the giving of such consent or approval) after the giving of a written request therefor in the manner specified herein for the giving of notice, it shall be concluded that such consent or approval has been given. Such requests for consent or approval must arise solely out of this Lease. Noting that this Agreement does not in any way require, limit or restrict the legislative authority of the Glendale City Council. The Council may exercise its legislative authority to adopt or reject this Lease, or any consent requested hereunder that may be required for the City to comply with its obligations hereunder. B. No Unreasonable Withholding. Wherever in this Lease the consent or approval of either party is required, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, except and unless where otherwise specifically provided. The remedy of the party requesting such consent or approval, in the event such party should claim or establish that the other party has unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned such consent or approval, shall be limited to an injunction 15 WA 15266486.4 or declaratory judgment and reimbursement of the requesting party’s enforcement costs, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees, and other litigation related expenses. 22.

Compliance with Environmental Laws. A. Definition of Regulated Substances and Environmental Laws. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Environmental Laws" shall include but not be limited to any relevant federal, state or local environmental laws, and the regulations, rules and ordinances, relating to environmental matters, and publications promulgated pursuant to the local, state, and federal laws and any rules or regulations relating to environmental matters.

Lessee shall pay the entire cost of the audit. E. Environmental Assessment.

G. Scope of Indemnity. This indemnity shall include, without limitation, claims or damages arising out of any and all violations of Environmental Laws regardless of any real or alleged fault, negligence, willful misconduct, gross negligence, breach of warranty, or strict liability on the part of any of the indemnities. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease and/or transfer of all or any portion of the Premises and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona. H. Lessee's Participation in the Defense.

Lessor shall retain the right to make all final decisions concerning the defense. Lessee's obligations to participate in the defense under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease. I. Restoration. Prior to the termination of the Lease, Lessee shall restore the Premises by removing any and all Regulated Substances. In addition, the restoration shall include, but not be limited to, removal of all waste and debris deposited by Lessee. If the Premises or any portions thereof are damaged or destroyed from the existence or presence of any Regulated Substance or if the Premises or any portions thereof are damaged or destroyed in any way relating to or arising out of the removal, treatment, storage, disposition, mitigation, cleanup or remedying of any Regulated Substance, Lessee shall arrange, at its expense, for the repair, removal, remediation, restoration, and reconstruction to the Premises to the original condition existing on the date that Lessee first occupied the Parcel, to the satisfaction of Lessor. In any event, any damage, destruction, or restoration by Lessee shall not relieve Lessee from its obligations and liabilities under this Lease. Lessee's restoration obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or the termination of the Lease. 26. Purchase and Re-acquisition of Premises. Lessee agrees to re-acquire, and Lessor agrees to reconvey, Lessor’s fee interest in the Premises at the end of the Term or upon any early termination of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee hereby establish Lessee’s obligation to purchase the Premises according to the terms and conditions as follows: A. Timing of Reacquisition. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee is obligated to purchase the Premises, and Lessor is obligated to sell, transfer, and convey, immediately upon the expiration of the Term or upon the date of any early termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee fails to close the purchase of the Premises within 60 days of the expiration of the Term or early termination of this Lease, Lessor will convey its interest in the Premises to Lessee by Special 19 WA 15266486.4 Warranty Deed in the form of Exhibit F. Lessor’s rights of indemnification granted in this Lease, including (but not limited to) Section 11 and this Section 26, shall survive the termination of this Lease and reconveyance of the Premises. B. Option to Reacquire at Any Time Lessee may purchase the Premises at any time during the Rental Period by delivering Notice of its intent to purchase the Premises to Lessor (the “Reacquisition Notice”). The purchase of the Premises by Lessee shall be completed within 60 days of the delivery of the Reacquisition Notice to Lessor. C. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Premises (“Purchase Price”) is $10.00. The Purchase Price reflects the fact that Lessee initially owned the Land and constructed all of the Improvements at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and is not intended to be the fair market value of the Premises. D. Conveyance of Title and Delivery of Possession. Lessor and Lessee agree to perform all acts necessary to complete the conveyance of the Premises to Lessee within sixty (60) days after delivery to Lessor of Lessee’s Reacquisition Notice, or on the last day of the Rental Period, whichever first occurs. Lessor’s entire interest in the Premises shall be conveyed by Special Warranty Deed in the form of Exhibit F. Lessor shall convey title and Premises in an AS-IS condition. The condition of title of the Premises will be as reflected in a commitment to issue title insurance (or similar report) obtained by Lessee at its sole cost and expense at the time of Lessee’s delivery of the Reacquisition Notice or the last day of the Rental Period (or date of earlier termination of this Lease), as applicable. Lessor has no obligation, responsibility to eliminate, cure or “endorse over” any exceptions to title or other matters shown in such commitment except for matters directly attributable to the acts of Lessor. Lessor’s then City Manager (or such City Manager’s designee) is authorized to execute and deliver the Deed on behalf of Lessor. All expenses incurred in connection with conveyance of the Premises to Lessee including, but not limited to, title insurance (if requested by Lessee), recordation and notary fees and any and all closing costs (including escrow fees if use of an escrow is requested by Lessee), shall be paid by Lessee. Lessee is not required to provide a Reacquisition Notice to Lessor at the expiration of the Term if there has been no earlier termination of this Lease. Although Lessee will have been in actual possession of the Premises throughout the Term: (i) legal possession of the Premises will be deemed to have been delivered to Lessee concurrently with the conveyance of title pursuant to the Deed, and (ii) Lessor will retain all rights of indemnification granted in this Lease. The terms of this Section 26 will survive the termination of this Lease and the recordation of any deed from Lessor to Lessee.

Recitals. 1.1. Lessee is the present Lessee under a Government Property Improvements Lease entered into with City, as Lessor, dated ______________, 2020, and recorded in the Official Records of Maricopa County, Arizona, at (the “Agreement”), which Agreement sets forth certain rights and responsibilities of Lessee with respect to the lease of that certain real property referred to in the Agreement (and herein) as the “Property,” and more particularly described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto. 1.2. Lessee’s obligations arising under the Agreement include but are not limited to payment of rent, maintenance and repair of the Property, and indemnification of Lessor (collectively, the “Obligations”). 1.3. Lender has agreed to lend money to Lessee, and Lessee will execute certain loan documents (the “Loan Documents”) including but not limited to a leasehold deed of trust for the use and benefit of Lender (the “Deed of Trust”) and an assignment of Lessee’s rights under the Agreement (the “Assignment”) to secure the loan from Lender to Lessee (the “Loan”). The Deed of Trust, the Assignment and certain other Loan Documents will be recorded in the Official Records of Maricopa County, Arizona, and will encumber the Property. 1.4. Lender has certain rights under the Loan Documents in the event of a Default by Lessee of its obligations either under the Loan Documents or the Agreement, including but not limited to the right of Lender to be substituted for Lessee under the Agreement and to assume Lessee’s position with respect to the Agreement; and the Agreement states in Section 13 thereof that a Lender may be allowed to assume Lessee’s rights and obligations with respect to the Agreement (collectively, “Lessee’s Position”). 1.5. Accordingly, the parties have executed this NDRA to be effective as of the date set forth above. 2. No Subordination. Subject only to the specific provisions of (i) Section 3 of this NDRA regarding the right of Lender to assume Lessee’s Position with respect to the Agreement and (ii) Section 4 of this NDRA regarding non-disturbance and recognition, all rights of Lessee and Lender under the Deed Exhibit D – Page 2 WA 15266486.4 of Trust are and will continue to be junior, inferior, subject and subordinate to the Agreement, as it may hereafter be modified, amended, restated or replaced. 3. Notice of Lessee Default. 3.1. If Lender is a “Permitted Mortgagee” pursuant to Section 20 of the Agreement, City will give Lender written notice of any claimed Event of Default by Lessee (the “Notice”) under the Agreement and 30 days following the expiration of Lessee’s cure period under the Agreement to cure such claimed Event of Default (as the Agreement exists as of the date of this NDRA), prior to terminating the Agreement or invoking such other remedies as may be available to City under the Agreement. 3.2. Lender will have the option, following Lender’s receipt of the Notice, and within the time period set forth herein for curing an Event of Default of Lessee, in its sole election either: (a) to cure the Default of Lessee, in which event Lessee will retain its position with respect to the Agreement; or (b) in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under law, equity or contract (including but not limited to the Deed of Trust and the Assignment) to assume Lessee’s Position with respect to the Agreement (to “Assume” or an “Assumption”). Lender will give written notice to City of its intention to Assume on or before the expiration of any applicable cure period available to Lender. 3.3. If Lender agrees to Assume Lessee’s Position with respect to the Agreement, Lender and City will execute an amendment to the Agreement (an “Amendment”) and will cause the Amendment to be recorded in the Official Records of Maricopa County, Arizona. The Amendment will state that Lender has fully assumed Lessee’s Position with respect to the Agreement, and that Lender is thereafter substituted for Lessee with respect to all Obligations, payment and performance rights and responsibilities arising under or in connection with the Agreement. The execution or approval by Lessee of the Amendment will not be necessary or required, and upon execution and recordation of the Amendment, City will (i) look to Lender and/or Lessee for performance of the Obligations under the Agreement and (ii) make to Lender all payments, and render all performance required to be made by the City, required to be made to Lessee under the Agreement. 3.4. In connection with (i) any foreclosure by Lender (whether by notice or judicially) of the Deed of Trust, or any other acquisition by Lender of the Property in lieu of such foreclosure (collectively, a “Foreclosure”) and (ii) the transfer of the Property to a third-party purchaser or purchasers (by way of illustration and not in limitation, a purchaser or purchasers at a trustee’s sale conducted pursuant to A.R.S. §33-810) concurrently with such Foreclosure or thereafter (a “Purchaser”), the Lessee’s Position under the Agreement will accompany and be deemed covenants running with the Property, and the Purchaser will be deemed to have assumed Lessee’s Position with respect to the Agreement. Upon the acquisition of the Property by a Purchaser, City will (i) look to Purchaser and/or Lessee for performance of the Obligations under the Agreement and (ii) make to Purchaser all payments, and render all performance required to be made by the City, required to be made to Lessee under the Agreement. 3.5. Until an Assumption as defined herein, nothing in this NDRA will constitute an assumption by Lender of any Obligation. Lessee will continue to be liable for all of the Obligations thereunder and will perform all such Obligations, will comply with all terms and conditions of the Agreement applicable to Lessee, and will take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to secure performance by City under the Agreement. 3.6. Whether before or after an Assumption as defined herein, nothing in this NDRA will constitute a release of Lessee of any Obligation. Exhibit D – Page 3 WA 15266486.4 4. Non-disturbance and Recognition. 4.1. In the event that City institutes any proceedings to enforce the Agreement, City agrees that, so long as Lender is not in default (beyond any applicable cure period provided to Lender under this NDRA) under the Agreement: 4.1.1 City will not interfere with or disturb Lender’s rights under the Agreement and this NDRA; and 4.1.2 Lender will not be made a party to any proceeding commenced pursuant to the Agreement, unless Lender is determined to be a necessary party for purposes of maintaining the action or securing other necessary relief not involving the termination of Lender’s interest under the Deed of Trust or the Assignment, provided that nothing herein will prevent City from giving any required notice to Lender. 4.2. Upon and following an Assumption, Lender will recognize the City’s rights under the Agreement for the balance of the Term thereof. The recognition described in this Section 4.2 will automatically become effective upon an Assumption by Lender. 5. Estoppel. 5.1.
