Sublandlord’s Obligations Sublandlord does not assume any obligation to perform the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements contained in the Prime Lease on the part of Prime Landlord to be performed. In the event Prime Landlord shall fail to perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements contained in the Prime Lease on its part to be performed, Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable, good-faith efforts to enforce the obligations of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, and such efforts shall include, without limitation: (i) upon Subtenant’s written request, notifying Prime Landlord of any nonperformance under the Prime Lease and requesting that Prime Landlord perform its obligations thereunder; and (ii) after the time for Prime Landlord to cure a breach has expired, cooperating with Subtenant, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, to enforce Prime Landlord’s obligations, which cooperation shall include, in cases of any uncured breach by Prime Landlord that, in Subtenant’s reasonable opinion, materially impairs the conduct of Subtenant’s business operations within the Demised Premises, instituting legal proceedings so long as Subtenant is not in default, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, of its payment obligations under this Section 9(b), in the name of Subtenant with legal counsel selected by Sublandlord and reasonably approved by Subtenant, to enforce the aforesaid unperformed, material Prime Landlord obligation under the Prime Lease (including executing such documents as may be reasonably required by such legal counsel). Sublandlord and Subtenant shall be entitled to jointly control the conduct of the litigation; provided, however that in the conduct of any such litigation, both Sublandlord and Subtenant shall have an obligation to act in a commercially reasonable manner and with the goal of employing a strategy which is designed to secure performance of the aforesaid unperformed, material Prime Landlord obligation under the Prime Lease, provided no action, including settlement, may be taken or required by either party in connection with such litigation to the extent such action may materially and adversely affect the other party’s rights or obligations under the Prime Lease or Sublease without such other party’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. All costs incurred in connection with any enforcement action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and consultant and expert witness fees) undertaken by Sublandlord at the request of Subtenant shall be paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant, as Additional Rent, upon Sublandlord’s delivery to Subtenant of reasonably detailed invoices therefor. In the event of any dispute regarding responsibility for payment of such costs, or any dispute regarding whether either party is acting in a commercially reasonable manner and with the goal of employing a strategy which is designed to secure, subject to the conditions above, performance of the aforesaid unperformed, material Prime Landlord obligation under the Prime Lease, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as set forth in Article 41 of the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord against, and hold Sublandlord harmless from, all costs, expenses, claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, losses, and liabilities incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any initiation of litigation by Sublandlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions, except to the extent such litigation is caused by Sublandlord’s default under this Sublease or, to the extent not caused by Subtenant, by Sublandlord’s default under the Prime Lease. The execution of this Sublease and Prime Landlord’s consent thereto, shall not relieve Sublandlord of any of its obligations to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. A copy of the Prime Lease is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C.

Limitation on Landlords Liability and Indemnity 8.1 Limitation On Landlord's Liability And Release. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees, lenders, attorneys, and consultants from, any and all liability, whether in contract, tort or on any other basis, for any injury to or any damage sustained by Tenant, Tenant's agents, employees, contractors or invitees, any damage to Tenant's property, or any loss to Tenant's business, loss of Tenant's profits or other financial loss of Tenant resulting from or attributable to the condition of, the management of, the repair or maintenance of, the protection of, the supply of services or utilities to, the damage in or destruction of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Property or the Outside Areas, including without limitation (i) the failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment or cessation in the supply of electricity, water, gas or other utility service to the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises; (ii) the vandalism or forcible entry into the Building or the Leased Premises; (iii) the penetration of water into or onto any portion of the Leased Premises; (iv) the failure to provide security and/or adequate lighting in or about the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises, (v) the existence of any design or construction defects within the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises; (vi) the failure of any mechanical systems to function properly (such as the HVAC systems); (vii) the blockage of access to any portion of the Property, the Building or the Leased Premises, except that Tenant does not so release Landlord from such liability to the extent such damage was proximately caused by Landlord's or its agent's or contractors' active or gross negligence, willful misconduct, or Landlord's failure to perform an obligation expressly undertaken pursuant to this Lease after a reasonable period of time shall have lapsed following receipt of written notice from Tenant to so perform such obligation. In this regard, Tenant acknowledges that it is fully apprised of the provisions of Law relating to releases, and particularly to those provisions contained in Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Notwithstanding such statutory provision, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge, Tenant hereby (i) waives the benefit of such statutory provision and (ii) acknowledges that, subject to the exceptions specifically set forth herein, the release and discharge set forth in this paragraph is a full and complete settlement and release and discharge of all claims and is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which Tenant, as of the date hereof, does not know of or suspect to exist in its favor.
Landlord's Obligation Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 11.2 Landlord shall not be required to make any alterations, reconstructions, replacements, changes, additions, improvements or repairs of any kind or nature whatsoever to the Premises or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, any portion of the Improvements or any FF&E) at any time during the Term of this Lease. Landlord agrees that it shall be Landlord's responsibility to make and pay for major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, replacements or additions to the Premises, structure, roof or exterior facade, and to its mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating air conditioning, plumbing and vertical transportation systems (all of the foregoing the "Major Repairs"). In this regard, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord for its review and approval, an annual estimate (the "Building Estimate") of the expenses necessary for Major Repairs which Tenant believes should be made to the Premises for the following Lease Year, which Building Estimate shall be submitted to Landlord for its review and approval not later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year during the Term hereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of Section 23.9 shall not be applicable to this Section 11.2 and any Major Repairs not approved by Landlord shall not be made; provided, however, that Landlord agrees that it will not withhold its consent with respect to Major Repairs which are required by reason of any law, ordinance, regulation or order of governmental authority having jurisdiction (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgement) for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Premises or which are required by the Franchise Agreement or which are required in the case of an emergency. If the Landlord does not approve the Building Estimate or any Major Repair contemplated therein, the parties shall attempt in good faith during the subsequent thirty (30) day period to resolve any disputes, which attempts shall include, if requested by either party, at least one meeting of executive-level officers of Landlord and Tenant. In the event that the parties are still not able to reach agreement on the Building Estimate for any particular Lease Year after complying with the foregoing requirements of this Section 11.2, the parties shall adopt such portions of the Building Estimate as they may have agreed upon and any matters not agreed upon shall be referred to arbitration. Pending the results of such arbitration or the earlier agreement of the parties, no Major Repairs shall be made unless the same are set forth in a previously approved Building Estimate or are specifically required by Landlord or otherwise required in case of emergency as aforesaid. With respect to any such matter to be submitted to arbitration, Landlord shall be entitled to designate any nationally recognized accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within fifteen (15) days after written demand for arbitration is received or sent by Landlord. In the event Landlord fails to make such designation within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall be entitled to designate any nationally recognized accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within fifteen (15) days after Landlord fails to timely make such designation. In the event no nationally recognized accounting firm satisfying such qualifications is available and willing to serve as arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from among the members of its panel who are qualified and who have experience in resolving matters of a nature similar to the matter to be resolved by arbitration. In any event a single arbitrator shall be designated and shall resolve the dispute. The arbitrator's decision shall be binding on all parties and shall not be subject to further review or appeal except as otherwise allowed by applicable law. Upon failure of either party to comply with the arbitrator's decision, the arbitrator shall be empowered at the request of the other party to order such compliance by the non-complying party and to supervise or arrange for the supervision of the non-complying party to comply with the arbitrator's decision, all at the expense of the non-complying party. To the maximum extent possible, the arbitrator and the parties, and the American Arbitration Association, if applicable, shall take any action necessary to ensure that the arbitration shall be concluded within ninety (90) days following such dispute. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Landlord and the Tenant. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties or required by the arbitrator or the American Arbitration Association, if applicable, arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in the state where the Premises are located. Notwithstanding formal rules of evidence, each party may submit such evidence as each party deems appropriate to support its position and the arbitrator shall have access to and the right to examine all books and records of Landlord and Tenant regarding the Premises during such arbitration. In the event of the receipt by Tenant of a governmental order or other circumstances ascribed in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall promptly deliver the same to Landlord. The cost of Major Repairs shall be borne by Landlord and upon funding of the same by Landlord, Base Rent shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in the event that funding is necessary for Major Repairs, Landlord shall provide the funds required for such expenditures ("Additional Capital Investment") and Base Rent shall be increased by the amount necessary to provide a per annum yield on the Additional Capital Investment equal to the greater of (a) ten percent 10.00% or (b) the yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Securities (at the time the Additional Capital Investment is requested by Tenant), plus 375 basis points.
LIMITATIONS ON LANDLORD'S LIABILITY Landlord shall not be liable for and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to effectuate any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of Landlord’s failure to provide or furnish any of the foregoing utilities or services if such failure was reasonably beyond the control of Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be liable for loss or injury to persons or property, however, arising or occurring in connection with or attributable to any failure to furnish such utilities or services even if within the control of Landlord.
Tenant’s Obligation to Reimburse The cost of the insurance premiums -------------------------------- carried pursuant to paragraph 9.2 shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after written request therefor from Landlord. Tenant shall also be liable for the "deductibles" with respect to any loss or losses covered by insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 9.2 of this Lease, provided that the aggregate amount of such "deductibles" per casualty does not exceed an amount equal to Ten Percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the Improvements ("Tenant's Share of Deductibles"). If the deductibles are greater than the amount equal to Tenant's Share of Deductibles and Tenant refuses to pay such excess amount, Landlord may (i) terminate this Lease or (ii) keep the Lease is full force and effect and pay such excess amount at its sole cost and expense, without any right of reimbursement from Tenant. If the "deductibles" are less than or equal to Tenant's Share of Deductibles or if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share of Deductibles to Landlord as follows: (i) an amount equal to one (1) month's Monthly Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant receives written notice from Landlord of the total deductible due and owing; and (ii) the rest of "deductibles" owed by Tenant (not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the Improvements minus an amount equal to one (1) month's Base Monthly Rent) shall be amortized in accordance with Paragraph 5.4 of this Lease.
Limitation on Leases Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary will create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any obligation for the payment of rent or hire of Property of any kind whatsoever (real or personal but excluding Capital Leases and leases of Hydrocarbon Interests and firm transportation contracts or arrangements), under leases or lease agreements which would cause the aggregate amount of all payments made by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to all such leases or lease agreements, including, without limitation, any residual payments at the end of any lease, to exceed $25,000,000 in any period of twelve consecutive calendar months during the life of such leases.
