THIS LEASE MODIFICATION is dated as of June 1 , 2024, and is entered into by
and between ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, as lessor (the " County " ) , and
THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, as lessee (the " School Board " ) .
This Modification modifies and amends the Lease dated as of June 13 , 2023 , and
recorded at Book 6818 , Page 1070 , Orange County Registry (the " Original Lease " ) . The
County is the record owner of the property subject to the Original Lease and this
Modification . This Modification affects all and only the property subject to the Original
Lease .
Introduction
The County and the School Board have previously agreed to cooperate in a plan to
finance, construct and equip improvements to various schools administered by the School
Board, including the schools referenced above . The parties entered into the Original Lease
to facilitate the County' s financing improvements to the schools . The County has asked
the School Board to modify the Original Lease to extend its term , to facilitate an additional
financing transaction contemplated by the County.
In connection with its financing, the County is entering into a Second Supplemental
Trust Agreement dated as of June 1 , 2024 (the " 2024 Trust Agreement ") . The County is
similarly entering into a Deed of Trust Modification # 2 , also dated as of June 1 , 2024 (the
" Deed of Trust " ) , to secure the County ' s repayment obligations under the 2024 Trust
Agreement . The School Board has agreed to subordinate its leasehold interest to the 2024
Deed of Trust, just as the School Board subordinated its interest to the deed of trust
delivered by the County in connection with the originally referenced financing .
NOW THEREFORE , for and in consideration of the Mutual promises contained in
this Lease . the parties agree as follows :
2
1 . Definitions .
(a) The term " Modified Lease " means the Original Lease as modified by this
Modification .
( b ) The term " Deed of Trust" means the 2024 Deed of Trust, together with the
Deed of Trust and Security Agreement granted by the County dated as of June
1 , 2021 , and recorded at RB 6730 , Page 209 , Orange County Registry, as
supplemented by the instrument recorded at RB 6818 , Page 817 , Orange
County Registry.
All other capitalized terms used in this Modification and not otherwise defined
have the meanings ascribed in the Original Lease ,
2 . Change to Lease Term . Section 3 . 2 ( c) of the Original Lease is hereby
amended to read as follows , in order to extend the expected Lease Term ,
3 . 2 . Termination .
[subparagraphs ( a) and (b ) intentionally omitted]
( c) The date that is 30 days after October 1 , 2044, which is the
scheduled date for the County ' s final payment under the " 2024 Trust
Agreement," as defined below, except that the Lease Term ends immediately
upon the termination of the 2024 Trust Agreement if the 2024 Trust
Agreement is terminated following an event of default by the County under the
2024 Trust Agreement .
The " 2024 Trust Agreement" means the Second Supplemental TrustAgreement
dated as of June 1 , 2024 , between the County and a corporate trustee .
Termination of the Lease Term terminates all the County ' s obligations under
the Modified Lease , and terminates the School Board ' s rights of possession
under the Modified Lease ; but all other provisions of the Modified Lease,
including the receipt and disbursement of funds , shall continue until the 2024
Trust Agreement is discharged as provided therein .
3
3 . Priority of 2024 Deed of Trust . Notwithstanding anything in the Modified
Lease to the contrary, the School Board ' s rights to possession of the Leased Property and
all its other rights under the Modified Lease are subordinate to the rights of the
beneficiary under the Deed of Trust, specifically including the 2024 Deed of Trust . Any
judicial sale of, or foreclosure on , the Leased Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust
terminates all the School Board ' s rights under the Modified Lease .
4 . Confirmation of Remaining Lease Terms . Except as provided by this
Agreement, the parties ratify, approve and confirm the terms of the Original Lease .
