Remedies of Landlord Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (as well as any other remedies provided by law or equity) without any notice or demand whatsoever:
10.2.1 Enter upon and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease and without relieving Tenant of its obligation to make the payments of Rent herein reserved, and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein, and change or alter the locks and other security devices, without notice to Tenant and relet the Premises on behalf of Tenant, at any rental readily obtainable, and receive the rent therefor. Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish a new key to Tenant unless and until tenant cures all existing defaults and delivers to Landlord additional security satisfactory to Landlord to secure Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the expenses of such reletting (as described in Paragraph 10.2.2 hereof), and any deficiency which may arise by reason of such reletting for the remainder of the Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any excess obtained by Landlord in reletting over the Rent. Landlord can bring separate actions from time to time against Tenant to collect rent due and owing.
10.2.2 Terminate this Lease forthwith. In the event of such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein. In the event of the termination of this Lease as provided herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the expenses of such reletting (including all repairs, tenant finish, improvements, brokers' and attorneys' fees and all loss or damage which Landlord may sustain by reason of such re-entry and reletting) plus an amount equal to the difference between the Rent provided for herein and the amount of Rent received by Landlord from the subsequent reletting of the Premises, for the period which would otherwise constitute the balance of the Term, which amount shall be considered accelerated and immediately due and payable, (discounted at the prime rate then in effect) per year) in full by Tenant to Landlord.
10.2.3 Cure any default of Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord until the date of reimbursement by Tenant.
Landlord’s Default and Tenant’s Remedies In the event Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations. In the event of Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:
A. Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).
B. Tenant, at its option, may then cure any default of Landlord at Landlord’s cost. If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any third part at any time by reason of Landlord’s default, the sum paid by, Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies Landlord with an invoice therefor (provided such invoice sets forth and is accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease.
COVENANTS OF LANDLORD 22.1 Landlord represents and covenants that it has the right to make this Lease for the term aforesaid, and Landlord covenants that Tenant shall, during the term hereby created, freely, peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises without disturbance, molestation or hindrance by any person or entity whatever claiming an interest in the Premises prior or superior to Tenant's. Nothing in this Section 22.1, however, shall prevent Landlord from exercising any remedy available to it on account of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge and agree that Tenant's leasehold estate in and to the Premises vests on the date this Lease is fully executed by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding that the Lease Term will not commence until a future date.
22.2 Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its successors and assigns the following rights (all of which are hereby consented to by Tenant): (i) if imposed by Legal Requirements in Landlord's reasonable judgment after consultation with Tenant, if Tenant and/or its Affiliates are the lessees of more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the Premises, to change the street address and/or the arrangement and/or location of entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building; and (ii) subject to compliance with Landlord's obligations pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 11.1, if imposed by Legal Requirements or if necessary for the proper functioning of the Premises after consultation with Tenant, if Tenant and/or its Affiliates are the lessees of more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the Premises, to erect, use and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the Premises; and (iii) to establish and maintain field offices in the Building for site engineers, property management and maintenance personnel comprising, in the aggregate, approximately 600 rentable square feet; and in number and locations that are typical for Class A suburban office buildings in the Market Area provided that, subject to the foregoing standards, Tenant shall have approval rights over the particular size and locations of such facilities, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Provided Landlord acts reasonably and diligently and in a manner not likely to materially, adversely affect Tenant's continuing and reasonably uninterrupted business functions, Landlord may exercise any or all of the foregoing rights without being deemed to be guilty of an eviction, actual or constructive, or a disturbance or interruption of the business of Tenant or of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises and without diminishing the rent payable hereunder.
Rights of Landlord (a) Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease, or to one or more sublettings of the Premises or any portion thereof, or collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee, shall not operate to exhaust Landlord’s rights under this Article 11, nor constitute consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and no sublease shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding any waiver or extension of time granted by Landlord to any assignee or sublessee, or the failure of Landlord to assert its rights against any assignee or sublessee, and regardless of whether Landlord’s consent thereto is given or required to be given hereunder. In the event of a default by any assignee, sublessee or other successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against any such assignee, sublessee or other successor. In addition, Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted under this Lease, and Landlord, as Tenant’s assignee, or any receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent and to retain all sublease profits (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2(c), below),
(b) Upon any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease for which Landlord’s consent is required under Section 11.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half ( 1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such assignment, after first deducting therefrom (i) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements (including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) in the Premises in connection with such assignment, amortized over the remaining term of this Lease, (ii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment, and (iii) the unamortized cost (assuming straight-line amortization over the entire period from the Rent Commencement Date through the remainder of the initial term of this Lease) of any alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises at Tenant’s expense and remaining in the Premises at the time of such assignment.
(c) Upon any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises for which Landlord’s consent is required under Section 11.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half ( 1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such sublease, after first deducting therefrom (i) the minimum rental due hereunder for the corresponding period, prorated (on the basis of the average per-square-foot cost paid by Tenant for the Premises for the applicable period under this Lease) to reflect the size of the subleased portion of the Premises, (ii) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements in the subleased portion of the Premises (including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) for the specific benefit of the sublessee in connection with such sublease, amortized over the remaining term of this Lease, (iii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease, amortized over the term of such sublease, and (iv) amortized over the term of such sublease, the portion allocable to the sublease term of the unamortized cost (assuming straight-line amortization over the entire period from the Rent Commencement Date through the remainder of the initial term of this Lease) of any alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises at Tenant’s expense and reasonably allocable to the subleased portion of the Premises at the time of the sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph (c), in no event shall the economic considerations required to be shared by Tenant with Landlord hereunder include the reasonable, good faith value of any goods or services provided by Tenant to any sublessee in connection with any subletting, including, but not limited to, any shipping, receiving, security, reception, facilities management, laboratory, repair, maintenance, utilities and other similar goods and services provided to the sublessee in excess of the goods and services provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease.
REMEDIES OF LESSOR At any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lessor may exercise one or more of the following remedies: (a) Lessor may terminate any or all of the Leases with respect to any or all items of Equipment subject thereto; (b) Lessor may recover from Lessee all Rent and other amounts then due and to become due under any or all of the Leases; (c) Lessor may take possession of any or all items of Equipment, wherever the same may be located, without demand or notice, without any court order or other process of law and without liability to Lessee for any damages occasioned by such taking of possession, and any such taking of possession shall not constitute a termination of any Lease; (d) Lessor may demand that Lessee return any or all items of Equipment to Lessor in accordance with Paragraph 16; and (e) Lessor may pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, seeking damages, specific performance or an injunction. Upon repossession or return of any item of the Equipment, Lessor shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of such item in a commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice and on public or private bid, and apply the net proceeds thereof (after deducting the estimated fair market value of such item at the expiration of the term of the applicable Lease, in the case of a sale, or the rents due for any period beyond the scheduled expiration of such Lease, in the case of any subsequent lease of such item, and all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith) towards the Rent and other amounts due under such Lease, with any excess net proceeds to be retained by Lessor. Each of the remedies under this Lease shall be cumulative, and not exclusive, and in addition to any other remedy referred to herein or otherwise available to Lessor in law or in equity. Any repossession or subsequent sale or lease by Lessor of any item of Equipment shall not bar an action for a deficiency as herein provided, and the bringing of an action or the entry of judgment against Lessee shall not bar Lessor's right to repossess any or all items of Equipment.
TENANT’S DEFAULTS In addition to any other event of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:
(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent required to be made by Tenant, as amid when due, where the failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. For purposes of these default and remedies provisions, the term “additional rent” shall be deemed to include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(b) Assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(c) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant, was materially false.
(d) The failure of Tenant to timely and fully provide any subordination agreement, estoppel certificate or financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Article XIII.
(e) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other subsection of this Section, where the failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant or such shorter period as is specified in any other provision of this Lease; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. However, if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.
(i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where the seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) Tenant’s convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts. Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this subsection unless notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant’s insolvency. In the event that any provision of this subsection is contrary to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.
Default by Landlord Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have heretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
Tenant’s Default 14.1 Any other provisions in this Lease notwithstanding, it shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Lease if: (i) Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent or any other sum payable by Tenant hereunder when due and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant that such payment has not been received, or (ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other material covenant or agreement of Tenant herein contained and such failure continues after written notice given by or on behalf of Landlord to Tenant for more than thirty (30) days, provided, however, that if such non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and provided further that Tenant is proceeding with due diligence to effect a cure of said Event of Default, no Event of Default hereunder shall be declared by Landlord if Tenant continues to proceed with diligence to cure said Event of Default, but in no event shall such cure period extend beyond ninety (90) days following notice from Landlord of such violation, default or breach, or (iii) Tenant files a petition commencing a voluntary case, or has filed against it a petition commencing an involuntary case, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code), as now or hereafter in effect, or under any similar law, or files or has filed against it a petition or answer in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any state bankruptcy law or any similar state law, and, in the case of any such involuntary action, such action shall not be dismissed, discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or Tenant consents or acquiesces in the filing thereof, or (iv) a custodian, receiver, trustee or liquidator of Tenant or of all or substantially all of Tenant’s property or of the Premises shall be appointed in any proceedings brought by or against Tenant and, in the latter case, such entity shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment or Tenant consents to or acquiesces in such appointment, or (v) Tenant shall generally not pay Tenant’s debts as such debts become due, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due. The notice and grace period provisions in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall have no application to the Events of Default referred to in clauses (iii) through (v) above.
14.2 If Tenant shall fail to make any payment of rent when due or if Tenant shall fail to keep and perform any express written covenant of this Lease and shall continue in default for a period of ten (10) days after Tenant has received written notice of such default and demand of performance from Landlord, Landlord may commence judicial proceedings, provided, however, if any default shall occur (other than in the payment of rent) which cannot be cured within a period of thirty (30) days and Tenant, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days from and after the giving of notice as aforesaid, commences to eliminate such default and proceeds diligently to take steps to cure the same, Landlord shall not have the right to declare the term ended by reason thereof for an additional period of sixty (60) days.
14.3 In the event of any such Event of Default, Landlord at any time thereafter may at its option exercise any remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including, without limitation, one or more of the following remedies:
Landlord’s Remedies Upon occurrence of any default by Tenant under this Lease and (i) if the event of default described in Section 8.1(a) is not cured within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of such default; provided, however, Landlord shall only be obligated to provide such written notice to Tenant once in each Lease Year and thereafter, Tenant shall be in default if it shall fail to pay any Rent or other monetary charge due from Tenant hereunder as and when due and payable; (ii) if the events described in Sections 8.1(b), (d), (f) and (g) are not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of such default; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default under Section 8.1(b) is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall be afforded such additional period of time not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default as shall be reasonable under the circumstance, if and so long as Tenant commenced to cure within the first thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecuted the cure thereof to completion within such additional thirty (30) day period; or (iii) with no additional notice and cure period for events of defaults described in Sections 8.1(c), (e), and (h), the Landlord shall have the option to do and perform any one or more of the following in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy or right permitted it by law or in equity or by this Lease:
(a) Continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent, Additional Rent and other charges when due.
(b) Terminate this Lease, and Landlord may in accordance within applicable laws forthwith repossess the Premises and be entitled to recover as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Premises, (ii) the cost of removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property, (iii) the unpaid Rent and any other sums accrued hereunder at the date of termination, (iv) a sum equal to the amount, if any, by which the present value of the total Rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease for the remainder of the Term, if the terms of this Lease had been fully complied with by Tenant, discounted at eight percent (8%) per annum exceeds the total fair market value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, also discounted back to present value at eight percent (8%) per annum (it being the agreement of the parties hereto that Landlord shall receive the benefit of its bargain), (v) the cost of reletting the Premises including, without limitation, the cost of restoring the Premises to the condition necessary to rent the Premises at the prevailing market rental rate, normal wear and tear excepted, (vi) any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Premises, (vii) amount of any unamortized improvements to the Premises paid for by Landlord, (viii) the amount of any unamortized brokerage commissions or other costs paid, (ix) the cost of decorations, repairs, changes, alterations and additions to the Premises, (x) the cost of any brokerage fees or commissions payable by Landlord in connection with any reletting or attempted reletting, (xi) any other sum of money or damages owed by Tenant to Landlord. In the event Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall at once have all the rights of reentry upon the Premises available under North Carolina law, without becoming liable for damages, or guilty of trespass.
(c) Terminate Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises and reenter and repossess the Premises by entry, forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease, without acceptance of surrender of possession of the Premises, and without becoming liable for damages or guilty of trespass, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, but only to the extent provided in Section 8.3 hereinbelow (provided that in no event shall Landlord be under any obligation to relet the Premises before Landlord relets or leases any other portion of the Project or any other property under the ownership or control of Landlord) for a period equal to or lesser or greater than the remainder of the Term of the Lease on whatever terms and conditions as Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, deems advisable. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord all Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (plus interest at the past due rate provided in Section 3.1(c) of this Lease if in arrears) plus an amount equal to (i) the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, (ii) the reasonable cost of removing and storing any of Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property left on the Premises or the Project after reentry, (iii) the cost of repairs, changes, alterations and additions to the Premises and the Project, (iv) the cost of any attempted reletting or reletting and the collection of the rent accruing from such reletting,
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (a) If Landlord should sell or otherwise transfer Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall thereafter have no liability to Tenant under this Lease or any modification or amendment thereof or extensions or renewals thereof, except for such liabilities which might have accrued prior to the date of such sale or transfer of Landlord’s interest.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if Landlord shall at any time be in default of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall not exercise any of its remedies for such default unless Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice thereof (but Landlord shall not be deemed in default if such default cannot reasonably be cured in thirty (30) days and Landlord commences to remedy such default within said thirty (30) day period and proceeds therewith with due diligence until completion); provided, however, if Landlord’s default has created an emergency situation requiring immediate corrective action to protect property or persons from damage or injury, Tenant shall be permitted to take reasonable corrective action at Landlord’s expense prior to such notice provided Tenant has used reasonable efforts to give Landlord verbal notice and Landlord has not promptly responded.
(c) If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease upon Landlord’s part to be performed or if Landlord shall be liable to Tenant in any way arising out of this Lease, or pursuant to statute, law, ordinance or regulation, or under the common law, and, as a consequence, if Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Land and the proceeds thereof. If Landlord is an individual, a trustee of a trust or a partnership, Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall not be binding upon, nor shall there be any personal liability by, Landlord individually, the trustees of said trust, the beneficiaries of said trust, the partnership, or the partners of the partnership.
