Acceptance of Leased Premises On or before the Possession Date, Tenant and Landlord shall each execute the letter agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Letter Agreement”). By its execution of the Letter Agreement or occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to represent and certify that it has examined the Leased Premises and that it thereby accepts the Leased Premises in its condition at the time, except for the list of defects and/or omissions identified in writing prior to the Possession Date (the “Punch-List”) and latent defects, but subject, in all cases, to Landlord’s repair, maintenance and replacement obligations set forth in this Lease and to the warranty related to the Tenant Improvements, as provided in the Work Letter Agreement. After the notice provided in Section 3.03 and prior to the Possession Date, the parties shall meet in the Leased Premises to establish the Punch-List. Landlord shall review the Punch-List items with Tenant and correct all undisputed Punch- List items within a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of the Punch- List; provided that, if any Punch-List items cannot be corrected within such thirty (30) day period despite reasonable diligence by Landlord, then, so long as Landlord commences correction of such Punch-List items within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such correction to completion, no default by Landlord shall be deemed to have occurred. Punch-List items for completion taking longer than six (6) months to complete (and not otherwise the result of Force Majeure, Tenant Delay, or the COVID-19 Condition) shall trigger a day for day prorated Minimum Monthly Rent abatement. The Tenant Improvements shall be subject to a two (2) year warranty, from the Possession Date, with regard to materials, design and workmanship, as provided in more detail in the Work Letter Agreement. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in providing required information as needed for Landlord to pursue vendor warranties on a timely basis, as requested in writing by Landlord. Landlord will pursue any valid warranty claims against its contractor beyond the two (2) year warranty provided that any expenses incurred and/or any recovery obtained shall be treated as either additional Operating Costs or an offset to Operating Costs under Section 5.03(a).
Use of the Leased Property (a) Tenant shall use or cause to be used the Leased Property and the improvements thereon of each Facility for its Primary Intended Use. Tenant shall not use the Leased Property or any portion thereof or any Capital Improvement thereto for any other use without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. Landlord acknowledges that operation of each Facility for its Primary Intended Use generally requires a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license neither Landlord nor GLP may operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming and/or racing operations at the Facilities.
(b) Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the Leased Property (including any Capital Improvement thereto) or cause or permit any nuisance thereon or to, except as required by law, take or suffer any action or condition that will diminish the ability of the Leased Property to be used as a Gaming Facility after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
(c) Tenant shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property or any portion thereof to be used in such a manner as (i) might reasonably tend to impair Landlord’s title thereto or to any portion thereof or (ii) may make possible a claim of adverse use or possession, or an implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
(d) Except in instances of casualty or condemnation, Tenant shall continuously operate each of the Facilities for the Primary Intended Use. Tenant in its discretion shall be permitted to cease operations at a Facility or Facilities if such cessation would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Tenant, the Facilities, or on the Leased Property, taken as a whole, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing immediately prior to or immediately after the date that operations are ceased or as a result of such cessation; and (ii) the Percentage Rent due from each and every such Facility whose operations have ceased will thereafter be subject to a floor which will be calculated based on the Percentage Rent that would have been paid for such Facility if Percentage Rent were adjusted based on Net Revenues for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the time that Tenant ceased operations at the Facility.
New Lease In the event that this Lease is rejected in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceeding or is terminated by Landlord following a Tenant Event of Default other than due to a default that is subject to cure by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) above, Landlord shall provide each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee with written notice that this Lease has been rejected or terminated (“Notice of Termination”), and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon delivery of such Notice of Termination, no Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the rights as described in Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) above, but rather such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee instead shall have the rights described in this Section 17.1(f)). Following any such rejection or termination, Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease (“New Lease”) of the Leased Property with such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee for the remainder of the term of this Lease, effective as of the date of termination, at the rent and additional rent, and upon the terms, covenants and conditions (including all then-remaining options to renew but excluding requirements which have already been fulfilled) of this Lease, provided:
(i) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall comply with the applicable terms of Section 22.2;
(ii) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall make a binding, written, irrevocable commitment to Landlord for such New Lease within thirty (30) days after the date such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee receives Landlord’s Notice of Termination of this Lease given pursuant to this Section 17.1(f);
(iii) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease, any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof be due pursuant to this Lease but for such rejection or termination (including, for avoidance of doubt, any amounts that become due prior to and remained unpaid as of the date of the Notice of Termination) and, in addition thereto, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable documented attorney’s fees, which Landlord shall have incurred by reason of such rejection or such termination and the execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been received by Landlord from Tenant or other party in interest under Tenant; and
(iv) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall agree to remedy any of Tenant’s defaults of which said Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was notified by Landlord’s Notice of Termination (or in any other written notice of Landlord) and which can be cured through the payment of money or, if such defaults cannot be cured through the payment of money, are reasonably susceptible of being cured by Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee.
