(b) After the effective date of this Lease Agreement and until the provisions of paragraph 5.1(c) become effective, the Company shall pay, as payments in lieu of taxes and assessments, one hundred percent (100%) of the taxes and assessments that would be levied upon the Facility by the respective Taxing Authorities if the Facility were owned by the Company exclusive of the Agency's leasehold interest.

(c) Commencing with the 2021/2022 Tax Year, the Company shall pay, as PILOT Payments, the amounts set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(d) The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amounts set forth in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, as applicable, after receipt of tax bills from the Agency or the Taxing Authorities, as the case may be. Failure to receive a tax bill shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to make all payments provided for hereunder. If, for any reason, the Company does not receive an appropriate tax bill, the Company shall have the responsibility and obligation to make all reasonable inquiries to the Taxing Authorities and to have such a bill issued, and thereafter to make payment of the same no later than the due dates provided therein. PILOT Payments shall be made directly to the Agency. PILOT Payments made after the due date(s) as set forth in the applicable tax bills shall accrue interest (and penalties) at the rates applicable to late payments of taxes for the respective Taxing Authorities and as further provided in the GML, including Section 874(5) thereof, which currently provides for an initial penalty of five percent (5%) of the amount due and an additional penalty of one percent (1%) per month on payments more than one (1) month delinquent. Anything contained in this paragraph (d) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have the obligation to make all annual payments required by this paragraph (other than payments of penalties, if any) in two equal semi-annual installments on or prior to January 10 and May 31 of each year of the Lease Term or on such other due dates as may be established from time to time during the Lease Term.

(e) During the Lease Term, the Company shall continue to pay all special ad valorem levies, special assessments, and service charges levied against the Facility for special improvements or special district improvements.

(f) In the event that any structural addition shall be made to the building or buildings included in the Facility subsequent to the Completion Date, or any additional building or improvement shall be constructed on the Land (such structural additions, buildings and improvements being referred to hereinafter as "Additional Facilities"), the Company agrees to make additional payments in lieu of taxes to the Taxing Authorities in amounts equal to the product of the then current ad valorem tax rates which would be levied upon or with respect to the Additional Facilities by the Taxing Authorities if the Additional Facilities were owned by the Company exclusive of the Agency's leasehold interest times the assessment or assessments established for that tax year by the respective Taxing Authorities having appropriate assessing jurisdiction. All other provisions of this Section 5.1 shall apply to this obligation for additional payments.

(g) In the event that the Agency's leasehold interest in the Facility or any part thereof terminates at such time in reference to any taxable status date as to make it impossible to place such Facility or part thereof on the tax rolls of the Taxing Authorities, or appropriate special districts, as the case may be, by such taxable status date, the Company hereby agrees to pay, at the first time taxes or assessments are due following the taxable status date on which such Facility or part thereof is placed on the tax rolls, an amount equal to the taxes or assessments which would have been levied on such Facility or part thereof had it been on the tax rolls from the time of the termination of the Agency's leasehold interest until the date of the tax rolls following the taxable status date as of which such Facility or part thereof is placed on the tax rolls. There shall be deducted from such amount any amounts previously paid pursuant to this Section 5.1 by the Agency or the Company to the respective Taxing Authorities relating to any period of time after the date of termination of the Agency's interest. The provisions of this subsection (g) shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease Agreement. Any rights the Company may have against its respective designees are separate and apart from the terms of this subsection (g), and this subsection (g) shall survive any transfer from the Agency to the Company.

(h) In the event the Facility or any part thereof is declared to be subject to taxation for taxes or assessments by an amendment to the Act or other legislative change or by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, the obligations of the Company under this Section 5.1 shall, to such extent, be null and void.

(i) In the event the Company shall enter into a subsequent payment-in-lieu-of-tax agreement or agreements with respect to the Taxes on the Facility directly with any or all Taxing Authorities in the jurisdiction of which the Facility is located, the obligations of the Company under this Section 5.1, which are inconsistent with such future agreement or agreements, shall be superseded and shall, to such extent, be null and void.

(j) As long as this Lease Agreement is in effect, the Agency and the Company agree that (i) the Company shall be deemed to be the owner of the Facility and of the Additional Facilities for purposes of instituting, and shall have the right to institute, administrative or judicial review of an assessment of the real estate with respect to the Facility and of the Additional Facilities pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the Real Property Tax Law or any other applicable law, as the same may be amended from time to time, and (ii) the Agency, at the request of the Company, shall request the Assessor of the Town of Islip, or any other assessor having jurisdiction to assess the Facility, to take into consideration the value of surrounding properties of like character when assessing the Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the assessment of the real estate with respect to the Facility and the Additional Facilities is reduced as a result of any such administrative or judicial review so that such complaining party would be entitled to receive a refund or refunds of taxes paid to the respective Taxing Authorities, if such complaining party were the owner of the Facility and the Additional Facilities exclusive of the Agency's leasehold interest therein, such complaining party shall not be entitled to receive a refund or refunds of the PILOT Payments paid pursuant to this Lease Agreement and the PILOT Payments set forth on Exhibit C hereto shall not be reduced. In that event, such complaining party shall be entitled to receive a credit against future PILOT Payments to be paid pursuant to this Lease Agreement, as and when collected by the Agency or the respective Taxing Authorities (as the case may be), in an amount equal to any refund that such complaining party would be entitled to receive if such complaining party were the owner of the Facility and the Additional Facilities exclusive of the Agency's leasehold interest therein; provided, however, that the Agency shall have no obligation to provide a credit against PILOT Payments which it has remitted to any of the respective Taxing Authorities before the date the Agency receives written notice from the complaining party that it seeks a credit. In no event shall the Agency be required to remit to the Company or any Taxing Authority any moneys otherwise due as a result of a reduction in the assessment of the Facility (or any part thereof) due to a certiorari review. If the Company receives a reduction in assessment in the last year of the Lease Agreement after it has made its final payments in lieu of taxes, the Company acknowledges that it shall look solely to the Taxing Authorities for repayment or for a credit against the first payment(s) of Taxes on the Facility which will be due after the Facility is returned to the tax rolls. The Company hereby agrees that it will notify the Agency if the Company shall have requested a reassessment of the Facility or a reduction in the taxes on the Facility or shall have instituted any tax certiorari proceedings with respect to the Facility. The Company shall deliver to the Agency copies of all notices, correspondence, claims, actions and/or proceedings brought by or against the Company in connection with any reassessment of the Facility, reduction of taxes with respect to the Facility or tax certiorari proceedings with respect to the Facility.

(k) The Company, in recognition of the benefits provided under the terms hereof, including, but not limited to, the PILOT Payments set forth in Exhibit C hereto, and for as long as the Lease Agreement is in effect, expressly waives any rights it may have for any exemption under Section 485-b of the Real Property Tax Law or any other exemption under any other law or regulation (except, however, for the exemption provided by Title 1 of Article 18-A of the GML) with respect to the Facility. The Company, however, reserves any such rights with respect to the Additional Facilities as referred to in subsection (f) hereof and with respect to the assessment and/or exemption of the Additional Facilities.

Section 5.2 Sales Tax Exemption.

(a) The Agency hereby appoints the Company its true and lawful agent, and the Company hereby accepts such agency (i) to complete the Project Work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, (ii) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any contracts, orders, receipts, writings and instructions with any other Persons, and in general to do all things which may be requisite or proper, all for the Project Work with the same powers and with the same validity as the Agency could do if acting on its own behalf, (iii) to pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project Work, (iv) to ask, demand, sue for, xxxx, recover and receive all such sums of money, debts, dues and other demands whatsoever which may be due, owing and payable to the Agency under the terms of any contract, order, receipt or writing in connection with the Project Work, and (v) to enforce the provisions of any contract, agreement, obligation, bond or other performance security. This agency appointment expressly excludes the Company from purchasing any motor vehicle, including any cars, trucks, vans or buses which are licensed by the Department of Motor Vehicles for use on public highways or streets.

(b) Agency's Exempt Status. The Agency constitutes a corporate governmental agency and a public benefit corporation under the laws of the State of New York, and therefore, in the exercise of its governmental functions, is exempt from the imposition of Sales and Use Taxes. As an exempt governmental entity, no exempt organization identification number has been issued to the Agency nor is one required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agency makes no representation to the Company, any Agent or any third party that any Sales Tax Exemption is available under this Lease Agreement.

(c) Scope of Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption. The Agency hereby authorizes the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement, to act as its agent in connection with the Company Facility for the purpose of effecting purchases and leases of Eligible Items so that such purchases and leases are exempt from the imposition of Sales and Use Taxes. The Agency's authorization with respect to such Sales Tax Exemption provided to the Company and its Agents pursuant to this. Lease Agreement and any Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letters issued hereunder shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) The Sales Tax Exemption shall be effective only for a term commencing on the Closing Date and expiring upon the earliest of (A) the termination of this Lease Agreement, (B) the Completion Date, (C) failure of the Company to file Form ST-340, as described in Section 5.2(g) below, (D) the termination of the Sales Tax Exemption authorization pursuant to Section 10.2 or (E) the date upon which the Company received the Maximum Company Sales Tax Savings Amount.

(ii) The Sales Tax Exemption authorization set forth herein shall automatically be suspended upon written notice to the Company that the Company is in default under this Lease Agreement until such default is cured to the satisfaction of the Agency.

(iii) The Sales Tax Exemption authorization shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease Agreement.

(iv) The Sales Tax Exemption shall only be utilized for Eligible Items which shall be purchased, incorporated, completed or installed for use only by the Company or the Sublessees at the Facility (and not with any intention to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any such Eligible Item to a Person as shall not constitute the Company or the Sublessee), it being the intention of the Agency and the Company that the Sales Tax Exemption shall not be made available with respect to any Eligible Item unless such item is used solely by the Company or the Sublessees at the Facility.

(v) The Sales Tax Exemption shall not be used for any Ineligible Item.

(vi) The Sales Tax Exemption shall not be used to benefit any person or entity, including any tenant or subtenant located at the Facility, other than the Company and the Sublessees, without the prior written consent of the Agency.

(vii) By execution by the Company of this Lease Agreement, the Company agrees to accept the terms hereof and represents and warrants to the Agency that the use of the Sales Tax Exemption by the Company or by any Agent is strictly for the purposes stated herein.

(viii) Upon the Termination Date, the Company and each Agent shall cease being agents of the Agency, and the Company shall immediately notify each Agent in writing of such termination and that the Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter issued to any such Agent is likewise terminated.

(ix) The Company agrees that the aggregate amount of Company Sales Tax Savings realized by the Company and by all Agents of the Company, if any, in connection with the Company Facility shall not exceed in the aggregate the Maximum Company Sales Tax Savings Amount.

(d) Procedures for Appointing Agents. If the Company desires to seek the appointment of the Sublessees, or a contractor, a subcontractor or other party to act as the Agency's agent (an "Agent") for the purpose of effecting purchases which are eligible for the Sales Tax Exemption pursuant to authority of this Lease Agreement, it must complete the following steps:

(i) For each Agent, the Company must complete and submit Form ST-60 to the Agency. The foregoing is required pursuant to the GML Section 874(9) and Form ST-60 and the regulations relating thereto which require that within thirty (30) days of the date that the Agency appoints a project operator or other person or entity to act as agent of the Agency for purposes of extending a sales or use tax exemption to such person or entity, the Agency must file a completed Form ST-60 with respect to such person or entity.

(ii) Following receipt by the Agency of the completed Form ST-60, such Agent must be appointed as Agent by the Agency, by execution by the Agency and the Agent of a Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. The determination whether to approve the appointment of an Agent shall be made by the Agency, in its sole discretion. If executed, a completed copy of the Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter shall be sent to the Company. The Company must also provide a copy of an executed Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter together with a copy of this Lease Agreement to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof by the Company.

(iii) The Company shall ensure that each Agent shall observe and comply with the terms and conditions of its Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter and this Lease Agreement.

(e) Form ST-60 Not an Exemption Certificate. The Company acknowledges that the executed Form ST-60 designating the Company or any Agent as an agent of the Agency shall not serve as a sales or use tax exemption certificate or document. Neither the Company nor any other Agent may tender a copy of the executed Form ST-60 to any person required to collect sales tax as a basis to make such purchases exempt from tax. No such person required to collect sales or use taxes may accept the executed Form ST-60 in lieu of collecting any tax required to be collected. THE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR MISUSE OF A COPY OF FORM ST-60 AS AN EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE OR DOCUMENT OR FOR FAILURE TO PAY OR COLLECT TAX SHALL BE AS PROVIDED IN THE TAX LAW. IN ADDITION, THE USE BY AN AGENT, THE COMPANY, OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OF SUCH FORM ST-60 AS AN EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE OR DOCUMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE, UNDER ARTICLES TWENTY-EIGHT AND THIRTY-SEVEN OF THE TAX LAW, THE ISSUANCE OF A FALSE OR FRAUDULENT EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE OR DOCUMENT WITH THE INTENT TO EVADE TAX.

(a) Form ST-123 Requirement. As an agent of the Agency, the Company agrees that it will, and will cause each Agent to, present to each seller or vendor a completed and signed Form ST-123 for each contract, agreement, invoice, bill or purchase order entered into by the Company or by any Agent, as agent for the Agency, for the Project Work. Form ST-123 requires that each seller or vendor accepting Form ST-123 identify the Company Facility on each bill or invoice for purchases and indicate on the bill or invoice that the Agency or Agent or Company, as project operator of the Agency, was the purchaser. For the purposes of indicating who the purchaser is, each bill or invoice should state, "I, [Company/Agent], certify that I am duly appointed agent of the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency and that I am purchasing the tangible personal property or services for use in the FAE Holdings 411519R, LLC/CVD Equipment Corporation/CVD Materials Corporation 2021 Facility located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XXX Project Number [__]." The Company shall retain copies of all such contracts, agreements, invoices, bills and purchase orders for a period of not less than six (6) years from the date thereof. For each Agent the Form ST-123 shall be completed as follows: (i) the "Project information" section of Form ST-123 should be completed using the name and address of the Company Facility as indicated on the Form ST-60 used to appoint the Agent; (ii) the date that the Agent was appointed as an agent should be completed using the date of the Agent's Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter; and (iii) the "Exempt purchases" section of Form ST-123 should be completed by marking "X" in box "A" only.

(b) Form ST-340 Filing Requirement. The Company shall annually (currently, by each February 1st with respect to the prior calendar year) file a Form ST-340 with NYSDTF, and with a copy to the Agency, in a manner consistent with such regulations as is or may be prescribed by the Commissioner of NYSDTF (the "Commissioner"), of the value of all Company Sales Tax Savings claimed by the Company and each Agent in connection with the Company Facility. Should the Company fail to comply with the foregoing requirement, the Company and each Agent shall immediately cease to be agents of the Agency in connection with the Company Facility without any further action of the Agency and the Company shall immediately and without demand notify each Agent appointed by the Agency in connection with the Company Facility of such termination.

(c) Sales Tax Registry Filing Requirement. No later than August 1st of each year, the Company shall file with the Agency a completed Sales Tax Registry, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, which accounts for all Company Sales Tax Savings realized by the Company and each Agent during the prior annual period ending on the preceding June 30th (or such shorter period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the preceding June 30th), unless the Termination Date occurred prior to such June 30th. Within ten (10) days after the Termination Date, the Company shall file with the Agency a completed Sales Tax Registry which accounts for all Company Sales Tax Savings realized by the Company and each Agent during the period from the preceding July 1st to the Termination Date.

(d) Special Provisions Relating to State Sales Tax Savings.

(i) The Company covenants and agrees to comply, and to cause each of its contractors, subcontractors, Agents, persons or entities to comply, with the requirements of GML Sections 875(1) and (3) (the "Special Provisions"), as such provisions may be amended from time to time. In the event of a conflict between the other provisions of this Lease Agreement and the Special Provisions, the Special Provisions shall control.

(ii) The Company acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to GML Section 875(3), the Agency shall have the right to recover, recapture, receive, or otherwise obtain from the Company, State Sales Tax Savings taken or purported to be taken by the Company, any Agent or any other person or entity acting on behalf of the Company to which the Company is not entitled or which are in excess of the Maximum Company Sales Tax Savings Amount or which are for property or services not authorized or taken in cases where the Company, any Agent or any other person or entity acting on behalf of the Company failed to comply with a material term or condition to use property or services in the manner required by this Lease Agreement. The Company shall, and shall require each Agent and any other person or entity acting on behalf of the Company, to cooperate with the Agency in its efforts to recover, recapture, receive, or otherwise obtain such State Sales Tax Savings and shall promptly pay over any such amounts to the Agency that it requests. The failure to pay over such amounts to the Agency shall be grounds for the Commissioner to assess and determine State Sales and Use Taxes due from the Company under Article 28 of the New York State Tax Law, together with any relevant penalties and interest due on such amounts.

(e) Subject to the provisions of subsection (i) above, in the event that the Company or any Agent shall utilize the Sales Tax Exemption in violation of the provisions of this Lease Agreement or any Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter, the Company shall promptly deliver notice of same to the Agency, and the Company shall, upon demand by the Agency, pay to or at the direction of the Agency a return of sales or use tax exemptions in an amount equal to all such unauthorized sales or use tax exemptions together with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum compounded daily from the date and with respect to the dollar amount for which each such unauthorized sales or use tax exemption was availed of by the Company or any Agent (as applicable).

(f) Upon request by the Agency with reasonable notice to the Company, the Company shall make available at reasonable times to the Agency and/or the Independent Accountant all such books, records, contracts, agreements, invoices, bills or purchase orders of the Company and any Agent, and require all appropriate officers and employees of the Company to respond to reasonable inquiries by the Agency and/or the Independent Accountant, as shall be necessary (y) to indicate in reasonable detail those costs for which the Company or any Agent shall have utilized the Sales Tax Exemption and the dates and amounts so utilized, and (z) to permit the Agency to determine any amounts owed by the Company under this Section 5.2.

Section 5.3 Mortgage Recording Tax Exemption. Section 874 of the Act exempts the Agency from paying certain mortgage recording taxes except for the portion of the mortgage recording tax allocated to transportation districts referenced in Section 253(2)(a) of the Tax Law. The Agency hereby grants to the Company exemption from mortgage recording taxes for one or more Mortgages securing an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $0, or such greater amount as approved by the Agency in its sole and absolute discretion, in connection with the financing of the Project Work and any future financing, refinancing or permanent financing of the costs of the Project Work for the Facility (the "Mortgage Recording Tax Exemption"). The Company represents and warrants (1) that the real property secured by the Mortgage is located within a transportation district referenced in Section 253(2)(a) of the Tax Law, and (2) that upon recording the Mortgage, the Company shall pay the mortgage recording tax allocated to transportation districts referenced in Section 253(a)(2) of the Tax Law.

Section 5.4 Recapture of Agency Benefits.

(a) It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Agency is entering into this Lease Agreement in order to provide financial assistance to the Company for the Facility and to accomplish the public purposes of the Act. In consideration therefor, the Company hereby agrees as follows:

(i) If there shall occur a Recapture Event after the Closing Date, but on or before December 31, 2024, the Company shall pay to the Agency, or to the State of New York, if so directed by the Agency (except as otherwise specified below) as a return of public benefits conferred by the Agency, one hundred percent (100%) of the Recaptured Benefits (as defined below);

(ii) If there shall occur a Recapture Event on or after January 1, 2025 but on or before December 31, 2026, the Company shall pay to the Agency, or to the State of New York, if so directed by the Agency (except as otherwise specified below) as a return of public benefits conferred by the Agency, seventy-five percent (75%) of the Recaptured Benefits;

(iii) If there shall occur a Recapture Event on or after January 1, 2027 but on or before December 31, 2028, the Company shall pay to the Agency, or to the State of New York, if so directed by the Agency (except as otherwise specified below) as a return of public benefits conferred by the Agency, fifty percent (50%) of the Recaptured Benefits;

(iv) If there shall occur a Recapture Event on or after January 1, 2029 but on or before December 31, 2029, the Company shall pay to the Agency, or to the State of New York, if so directed by the Agency (except as otherwise specified below) as a return of public benefits conferred by the Agency, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Recaptured Benefits; and

(v) If there shall occur a Recapture Event on or after January 1, 2030, the Company shall not be obligated to pay to the Agency, or to the State of New York, any of the Recaptured Benefits; and

(b) The term "Recaptured Benefits" shall mean all direct monetary benefits, tax exemptions and abatements and other financial assistance, if any, derived solely from the Agency's participation in the transaction contemplated by the Lease Agreement including, but not limited to, the amount equal to 100% of:

(i) the Mortgage Recording Tax Exemption; and

(ii) Sales Tax Exemption savings realized by or for the benefit of the Company, including any savings realized by any Agent pursuant to the Lease Agreement and each Sales Tax Agent Authorization Letter issued in connection with the Facility (the "Company Sales Tax Savings"); and

(iii) real property tax abatements granted pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof (the "Real Property Tax Abatements");

which Recaptured Benefits from time to time shall upon the occurrence of a Recapture Event in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) below and the declaration of a Recapture Event by notice from the Agency to the Company be payable directly to the Agency or the State of New York if so directed by the Agency within ten (10) days after such notice.

(i) The occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under this Lease Agreement (other than as described in clause (iv) below or in subsections (d) or (e) below) which remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and/or grace period, if any, provided hereunder; or

(ii) The Facility shall cease to be a "project" within the meaning of the Act, as in effect on the Closing Date, through the act or omission of the Company and/or the Sublessee;

(iii) The sale of the Facility or closure of the Facility and/or departure of the Company from the Town of Islip, except as due to casualty, condemnation or force majeure as provided in subsection (e) below or as provided in Section 9.3 hereof; or

(iv) Failure of the Company to create or cause to be maintained the number of FTE jobs at the Facility as provided in Section 8.11 of the Lease Agreement, which failure is not reflective of the business conditions of the Company or the subtenants of the Company, including without limitation loss of major sales, revenues, distribution or other adverse business developments and/or local, national or international economic conditions, trade issues or industry wide conditions; or

(v) Any significant deviations from the Project Application Information which would constitute a significant diminution of the Company's and/or the Sublessees' activities in, or commitment to, the Town of Islip, Suffolk County, New York; or

(vi) The Company receives Sales Tax Savings in connection with the Project Work in excess of the Maximum Company Sales Tax Savings Amount; provided, however, that the foregoing shall constitute a Recapture Event with respect to such excess Sales Tax Savings only. It is further provided that failure to repay the Sales Tax Savings within thirty (30) days shall constitute a Recapture Event with respect to all Recapture Benefits.

(d) Provided, however, if a Recapture Event has occurred due solely to the failure of the Company to create or cause to be maintained the number of FTEs at the Facility as provided in Section 8.11 hereof in any Tax Year but the Company has created or caused to be maintained at least 90% of such required number of FTEs for such Tax Year, then in lieu of recovering the Recaptured Benefits provided above, the Agency may, in its sole discretion, adjust the PILOT Payments due hereunder on a pro rata basis so that the amounts payable will be adjusted upward retroactively for such Tax Year by the same percentage as the percentage of FTEs that are below the required FTE level for such Tax Year. Such adjustments to the PILOT Payments may be made each Tax Year until such time as the Company has complied with the required number of FTEs pursuant to Section 8.11 hereof.

(e) Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Recapture Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Recapture Event shall have arisen as a result of (i) a "force majeure" event (as more particularly defined in Section 10.1(b) hereof), (ii) a taking or condemnation by governmental authority of all or part of the Facility, or (iii) the inability or failure of the Company after the Facility shall have been destroyed or damaged in whole or in part (such occurrence a "Loss Event") to rebuild, repair, restore or replace the Facility to substantially its condition prior to such Loss Event, which inability or failure shall have arisen in good faith on the part of the Company or any of its affiliates so long as the Company or any of its affiliates have diligently and in good faith using commercially reasonable efforts pursued the rebuilding, repair, restoration or replacement of the Facility or part thereof.

(f) The Company covenants and agrees to furnish the Agency with written notification (i) within sixty (60) days of the end of each Tax Year the number of FTEs located at the Facility for such Tax Year, and (ii) within thirty (30) days of actual notice of any facts or circumstances which would likely lead to a Recapture Event or constitute a Recapture Event hereunder. The Agency shall notify the Company of the occurrence of a Recapture Event hereunder, which notification shall set forth the terms of such Recapture Event.

(g) In the event any payment owing by the Company under this Section shall not be paid on demand by the Agency, such payment shall bear interest from the date of such demand at a rate equal to one percent (1%) plus the Prime Rate, but in no event at a rate higher than the maximum lawful prevailing rate, until the Company shall have made such payment in full, together with such accrued interest to the date of payment, to the Agency (except as otherwise specified above).

(h) The Agency shall be entitled to deduct all reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Agency, including without limitation, reasonable legal fees, incurred with the recovery of all amounts due under this Section 5.4, from amounts received by the Agency pursuant to this Section 5.4.

All such additions, modifications or improvements made by the Company after the date hereof shall become a part of the Company Facility and the Property of the Agency. The Company agrees to deliver to the Agency all documents which may be necessary or appropriate to convey to the Agency title to or an interest in such Property.

Section 6.2 Installation of Additional Equipment. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.5 hereof, the Company or any permitted sublessee of the Company from time to time may install additional machinery, equipment or other personal property in the Company Facility (which may be attached or affixed to the Company Facility), and such machinery, equipment or other personal property shall not become, or be deemed to become, a part of the Company Facility, so long as such additional property is properly identified by such appropriate records, including computerized records, as approved by the Agency. The Company from time to time may create or permit to be created any Lien on such machinery, equipment or other personal property. Further, the Company from time to time may remove or permit the removal of such machinery, equipment and other personal property from the Company Facility, provided that any such removal of such machinery, equipment or other personal property shall not occur: (i) if any Event of Default has occurred or (ii) if any such removal shall adversely affect the structural integrity of the Facility or impair the overall operating efficiency of the Facility for the purposes for which it is intended, and provided further, that if any damage to the Facility is occasioned by such removal, the Company agrees promptly to repair or cause to be repaired such damage at its own expense.

Section 6.3 Taxes, Assessments and Utility Charges.

(a) Subject to the Sales Tax Exemption and the Real Property Tax Abatements as provided hereunder, the Company agrees to pay, as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, interest (except interest which is payable in connection with legally permissible installment payments) or other cost which may be added thereto or become due or be imposed by operation of law for the non-payment thereof, (i) all taxes, PILOT Payments and governmental charges of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to the Company Facility and any machinery, equipment or other Property installed or brought by the Company therein or thereon, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any sales or use taxes imposed with respect to the Company Facility or any part or component thereof, or the rental or sale of the Company Facility or any part thereof, and any taxes levied upon or with respect to the income or revenues of the Agency from the Company Facility; (ii) all utility and other charges, including service charges, incurred or imposed for or with respect to the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy, upkeep and improvement of the Company Facility; and (iii) all assessments and charges of any kind whatsoever lawfully made by any governmental body for public improvements; provided that, with respect to special assessments or other governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, the Company shall be obligated under this Lease Agreement to pay only such installments as are required to be paid during the Lease Term.

(b) Upon the request of the Company, the Agency shall execute and deliver to the Company all instruments necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to sell or otherwise dispose of any such item of Facility Equipment.

Any assignment or sublease shall be on the following conditions, as of the time of such assignment or sublease:

(i) no assignment or sublease shall relieve the Company from primary liability for any of its obligations hereunder unless the Agency consents thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed subject to the dates of the Agency's board meetings and which consent shall be conditioned upon the Agency being indemnified and held harmless to its reasonable satisfaction;

(ii) the assignee or sublessee (except in the case of a true sublessee in the ordinary course of business) shall assume the obligations of the Company hereunder to the extent of the interest assigned or subleased;

(iv) neither the validity nor the enforceability of the Lease Agreement shall be adversely affected thereby;

(v) the Facility shall continue to constitute a "project" as such quoted term is defined in the Act, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no assignment or sublease shall cause the Facility to be used in violation of Section 862(2)(a) of the Act and no assignment or sublease shall cause the Facility to be occupied by a sublessee in violation of Section 862(1) of the Act; and

(vi) any sublessee will execute and deliver a Tenant Agency Compliance Agreement, satisfactory to the Agency in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I;

(b) If the Agency shall so request, as of the purported effective date of any assignment or sublease pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 9.3, the Company at its sole cost and expense shall furnish the Agency with opinions, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agency, (i) of Transaction Counsel as to item (v) above, and (ii) of Independent Counsel as to items (i), (ii), and (iv) above.

(c) In accordance with Section 862(1) of the Act, the Company Facility shall not be occupied by a sublessee whose tenancy would result in the removal of a facility or plant of the proposed sublessee from one area of the State to another area of the State or in the abandonment of one or more plants or facilities of such sublessee located within the State; provided, however, that neither restriction shall apply if the Agency shall determine:

(i) that such occupation of the Company Facility is reasonably necessary to discourage the proposed sublessee from removing such other plant or facility to a location outside the State, or

(ii) that such occupation of the Company Facility is reasonably necessary to preserve the competitive position of the proposed sublessee in its respective industry.

Section 9.4 Merger of Agency.

(a) Nothing contained in this Lease Agreement shall prevent the consolidation of the Agency with, or merger of the Agency into, or the transfer of the Agency's interest in the entire Company Facility to, any other public benefit corporation or political subdivision which has the legal authority to own and lease the Company Facility and to continue the tax benefits contemplated by the Transaction Documents, provided that upon any such consolidation, merger or transfer, the due and punctual performance and observance of all the agreements and conditions of this Lease Agreement to be kept and performed by the Agency shall be expressly assumed in writing by the public benefit corporation or political subdivision resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which the Company Facility shall be transferred.

No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right and power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Agency to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article X, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required in this Lease Agreement.

Section 10.4 Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. In the event the Company should default under any of the provisions of this Lease Agreement and the Agency should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of amounts payable hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligations or agreements on the part of the Company herein contained, the Company shall, on demand therefor, pay to the Agency the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred.

Section 10.5 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver.
