of FBO to be performed under the FBO Lease.
G. The County agrees that Master Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to: (1)
cure any default by FBO under the FBO Lease and Master Trustee shall be afforded(a) 60 days to cure any
such default or(b)in the event that any such default cannot,with reasonable diligence,be cured within 60
days, such longer period as may be required to complete such cure including,without limitation, such time

foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage (or delivery of a deed or assignment of the FBO Lease in lieu of
foreclosure)) shall not be subject to the prior written consent of County, and such party shall be considered
the lessee under the FBO Lease for all purposes, the same as though such party were the original party to
the FBO Lease, and shall be bound and obligated by all the provisions thereof.
I. County hereby covenants and agrees that,in the event that the FBO Lease is terminated for
any reason including, without limitation, as a result of a rejection of the FBO Lease in a bankruptcy

immediately prior to such termination.

any settlement regarding insurance or condemnation proceeds or awards, to collect and hold any such
proceeds or awards and to determine and direct whether any such proceeds or awards are made available
for the restoration of the Leased Premises or are applied to the repayment of the Bonds.
K. County hereby consents to the Pledge Agreement and agrees that in the event Master
Trustee or designee of either Master Trustee take ownership of the membership interests of Tenant such
action shall not be deemed violation of the Lease.

subject and subordinate to the lien of the Leasehold Mortgage.
M. The terms and conditions of the FBO Lease shall not be canceled,terminated, amended or
