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.

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 NONLIABILITY Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents and/or invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, for and knowingly assumes the risk of loss of or damage to any property, or loss or interruption of business or income, or any other loss, cost, damage, injury or liability whatsoever (including without limitation any consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs), resulting from, but not limited to, Acts of God, acts of civil disobedience or insurrection, acts or omissions of third parties and/or of other tenants within the Project or their agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees, fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, mold, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works, roof, windows or other fixtures in the Building (whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or in other portions of the Building), regardless of the negligence of Landlord, its agents or any and all affiliates of Landlord in connection with any of the foregoing. It is understood that any such condition may require the temporary evacuation or closure of all or a portion of the Building. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever (including without limitation consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs) and, except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of rent, by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an actual or constructive eviction. In making repairs, alterations or improvements, however, Landlord shall interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. Should Tenant elect to receive any service or products from a concessionaire, licensee or third party tenant of Landlord, Landlord shall have no liability for any services or products so provided or for any breach of contract by such third party provider. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for interference with light or other similar intangible interests. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in case of fire or accident in the Premises, the Building or the Project and of defects in any improvements or equipment.
Base Rent and Additional Rent Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following amounts as rent for the Premises:
Payment of Additional Rent In addition to the Minimum Annual Rent specified in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as "Additional Rent" for the Leased Premises, in each calendar year or partial calendar year, during the Lease Term, an amount equal to the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year or partial calendar year. In the case of the calendar year of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide such notice prior to the Commencement Date. The Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes shall be estimated annually by Landlord, and written notice thereof shall be given to Tenant prior to the beginning of each calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month, at the same time the Monthly Rental Installment is due, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. If the cost of utility, janitorial or other services increase during a calendar year, Landlord may increase the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes during such year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect, and thereafter Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in each of the remaining months of such year, an amount equal to the amount of such increase in the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the remainder of the year divided by the number of months remaining in such year. Within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a statement showing the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the aforementioned statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall credit against the next rent payment or payments due from Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the preceding calendar year and the estimated amount paid by Tenant to Landlord during such year. In addition, Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all Real Estate Taxes as defined in Section 3.02.D, above, directly to the appropriate taxing authority. If Tenant fails for any reason to pay the Real Estate Taxes when same is due and payable, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the Real Estate Taxes directly to the taxing authority and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof. Such amount shall accrue interest from the date Landlord pays such amount, pursuant to Section 3.04, below, shall include any penalties, late fees and any interest assessed due to such delinquency. Tenant or its accountants shall have the right to inspect, at reasonable time and in a reasonable manner, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the delivery of Landlord's statement of the actual amount of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes, such of Landlord's books of account and records as pertain to and contain information concerning such costs and expenses for the Building for the prior calendar year in order to verify the amounts thereof. In the event the first audit discloses (i) errors made during the prior calendar year which, when totaled, indicate that the sum overcharged to and paid by Tenant, exceeds five percent (5%) of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes plus Landlord's Share of Operating Expenses (the "Total Expenses"), the audit shall be at the expense of Landlord, not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00), or (ii) no errors or an error which equals or is less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, the audit shall be at the expense of Tenant. For each subsequent audit, where the audit discloses errors exceeding five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Landlord shall pay for such audit and, if the audit discloses errors equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Tenant shall pay the costs of the audit. If Landlord spends more than eight (8) hours to accommodate Tenant's right to audit hereunder, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) per hour for each additional hour that Tenant's audit takes of Landlord's property manager's or asset manager's time, provided such audit discloses no error or an error greater than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses. The results of the audit (regardless of the degree of the error, if any) shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord shall thereafter, if appropriate, change its method of calculating the Operating Expenses consistent with the results of the audit. Tenant agrees to hold the information obtained from such audit confidential and shall not disclose the same without Landlord's express written permission except as necessary to enforce the Lease or protect Tenant's rights hereunder. If Tenant shall not elect to cause an audit within the time period permitted hereby, then Landlord's statement shall be conclusively deemed to have been approved and accepted by Tenant. Pending resolution of any dispute with respect to statements of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Tenant shall pay its Annual Rental Adjustment as shown on such statement, and upon final determination of the amount of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Landlord shall promptly refund any overpayment to Tenant or Tenant shall promptly pay any amount due to Landlord, as applicable.
