Master Lease A. All the obligations contained in the Master Lease conferred and imposed upon Sublessor (as Tenant therein) shall be borne by Sublessor and Sublessee in accordance with the Sublessor's Percentage and the Sublessee's Percentage, respectively, except as modified and amended by this Sublease, and all rights and privileges contained in the Master Lease conferred upon Sublessor (as Tenant therein), are hereby conferred and imposed upon Sublessee, to the extent of Sublessee's Percentage. Sublessor covenants and agrees it will make payment of the rentals reserved under the Master Lease as and when due, will perform Sublessor's insurance obligations under the Master Lease, and will otherwise fully and faithfully perform the terms and conditions of the Master Lease with respect to the Sublessor's Percentage. Sublessee covenants and agrees to otherwise fully and faithfully perform the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and the Sublease on its part to be performed. Neither the Sublessor nor Sublessee shall do or cause to be done any act which would or might cause the Master Lease, or the rights of Sublessor as tenant under the Master Lease to be endangered, cancelled, terminated, forfeited or surrendered, or which would or might cause Sublessor to be in default thereunder or liable for any damage, claim or penalty. Sublessee agrees, as an express inducement for Sublessor executing this Sublease, that if there is any conflict between the provisions of the Master Lease and this Sublease which would permit Sublessee to do or cause to be done any act which is prohibited by the Master Lease then the provisions of the Master Lease shall prevail.
Landlord’s Covenant Upon payment by the Tenant of the rents and other charges herein provided, and upon the observance and performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person or persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
Prime Lease (a) It is understood that Sublandlord is a sublandlord and that Sublandlord grants this Sublease under and by virtue of its rights under the Prime Lease and that this Sublease is subordinate and subject to the Prime Lease. Except as set forth below, the provisions of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof, except that: (i) each reference in such incorporated sections to “Lease” shall be deemed a reference to this “Sublease”; (ii) each reference to the “Premises” shall be deemed a reference to the “Subleased Premises”; (iii) each reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference to “Sublandlord” and each reference to “Tenant” shall be deemed a reference to “Subtenant”, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; (iv) with respect to work, services, utilities, electricity, repairs (including, without limitation, repairs of any damage caused by Prime Landlord), restoration, insurance, indemnities, reimbursements, title, representations, warranties, covenants or the performance of any other obligation of the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, whether or not incorporated herein, (A) reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference solely to Landlord, and (B) the sole obligation of Sublandlord shall be to request the same in writing from Prime Landlord as and when requested to do so by Subtenant, and to use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not including the payment of money or the incurring of any liabilities) to obtain Prime Landlord’s performance (provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be required to institute any legal proceedings against Prime Landlord unless Subtenant pays all costs, and indemnifies, defends and holds Sublandlord harmless against all losses, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees), claims, liabilities and damages, in connection therewith); (v) with respect to any obligation of Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, wherever the Prime Lease grants to the “Tenant” a specified number of days to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease (including, without limitation, curing any defaults), Subtenant shall have three (3) fewer calendar days (or such lesser time as may be provided in this Sublease) to perform the obligation, but in no case shall Subtenant have less than three (3) business days to perform the obligation; (vi) with respect to any approval or consent required to be obtained from the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, such approval or consent must be obtained from both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord, and Sublandlord’s withholding of approval or consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Prime Landlord’s approval or consent is not obtained, and if Prime Landlord’s approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed under the Prime Lease, then Sublandlord’s consent shall likewise not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed, as the case may be; (vii) in any case where the “Landlord” reserves or is granted the right to manage, supervise, control, repair, alter, regulate the use of, enter or use the Premises or any areas beneath, above or adjacent thereto, such reservation or grant of right of entry shall be deemed to be for the benefit of both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (viii) in any case where “Tenant” is to indemnify, release or waive claims against “Landlord”, such indemnity, release or waiver shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (ix) in any case where “Tenant” is to execute and deliver certain documents or notices to “Landlord”, such obligation shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (x) all payments shall be made to Sublandlord, except as otherwise expressly required by the Prime Lease or Prime Landlord’s Consent; (xi) Subtenant shall pay all consent and review fees described in the Prime Lease; (xii) Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to any or all of the Subleased Premises due to casualty or condemnation unless Sublandlord has such right (and opts to exercise such right) under the Prime Lease; and (xiii) the following provisions of the Prime Lease are not incorporated herein: Section 2.1; Section 2.2; Section 2.3; Section 2.4; Section 2.5; Section 2.6; Section 2.8; Section 2.10; Section 3; Section 4; Section 7.1; Section 8; Section 11; Section 12.1; Section 33; Section 41; Section 42; Exhibit A; Exhibit B; Exhibit D; and Exhibit F; and with respect to the First Amendment: Section 3; Section 5; Section 6; Section 8; Section 9; Section 10; Section 11; Section 12; Section 13; Section 15; and any other provisions that are contrary to the terms of this Sublease. For purposes of this Sublease, all references to “Prime Lease” hereunder shall refer to the Prime Lease, excluding those Sections set forth in Section 2(a)(xiii). As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the provisions of Section 35.1 shall not apply, but shall apply as between Sublandlord and Prime Landlord, and Subtenant and Prime Landlord. Subtenant expressly assumes and agrees to comply with all provisions of the Prime Lease and perform all of the obligations on the part of the “Tenant” to be performed under the Prime Lease (except where such obligation arises by reason of a (i) breach of Sublandlord under this Sublease, or (ii) breach of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease (other than a breach of the Prime Lease caused by Subtenant’s breach of its obligations under this Sublease)). In the event that the Prime Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then subject to the provisions of, and Prime Landlord’s rights under the Prime Lease, this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously with such termination without any liability of Sublandlord to Subtenant. Subject to Subtenant’s performance of its obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not default in its monetary obligations under the Prime Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period).
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.
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.
Existing Lease Except to the extent specifically amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect. [SIGNATURE PAGE TO FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE]
Operating Lease The parties hereto intend that this Lease shall be deemed for all purposes to be an operating lease and not a capital lease.
Holdover On the last day of the Term of the Lease, or on any sooner termination, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises to the Landlord in good condition, ordinary wear and tear accepted, free from all of Tenant's personal property, trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. This Lease shall terminate without further notice upon the expiration of the term. If Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant is in possession of any part of the Premises after the expiration of the term, without the express consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and not a renewal of this Lease or an extension for any further term, and such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to each and every term, covenant and agreement contained herein, except that Base Rent shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last month of the Term, for each month, or portion thereof, that Tenant remains in possession. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to any continued possession by Tenant and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises upon the expiration of the Term or upon the earlier termination hereof and to assert any remedy in law or equity to evict Tenant and/or collect damages in connection with such continued possession. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claim made by any succeeding tenant relating to such failure to surrender. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after the termination shall not constitute a consent to a holdover or result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Section are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord on the expiration of the Lease, as required by this section, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from all damages resulting from Tenant's failure to vacate the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant resulting from the Tenant's failure to surrender the Leased Premises.
Sublease Term The term of the Sublease (“Sublease Term”) commences on the later to occur of (1) Sublandlord’s receipt of Prime Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease, and (2) October 1, 2009 (“Sublease Commencement Date”); and expires on January 28, 2018 (“Sublease Expiration Date”; i.e., the day prior to the Termination Date pursuant to the Prime Lease). Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises “broom clean” and free of all of Sublandlord’s personal property (other than the F&F (defined in Section 2(f))) and debris, but otherwise in “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition on the Sublease Commencement Date; provided that Subtenant shall not be responsible for, or required to remedy, any violation of any applicable law, or any condition or state of facts, with respect to the Subleased Premises, the Building or the Land existing on or prior to the Sublease Commencement Date. Sublandlord is not required to perform any work to prepare the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s intended use. If (i) for any reason Sublandlord has not received Prime Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease in form required by Section 15(i) below by the date which is sixty (60) days from the date hereof, or (ii) Prime Landlord elects to terminate the Prime Lease in respect of the Subleased Premises pursuant to Prime Landlord’s recapture right set forth in Section 16.5 of the Prime Lease, then in the case of (i), then Sublandlord and Subtenant each may elect at any time thereafter to terminate this Sublease by written notice to the other, whereupon the parties shall deem this Sublease to be null and void and of no effect (except for those provisions expressly stated herein to survive a termination), and in the case of (ii) the Sublease will be deemed terminated in accordance with Section 16.5 of the Prime Lease.
LANDLORD'S COVENANTS The Landlord covenants with the Tenant:
