Any Tenant improvements (“Tenant Improvements” ) on the Premises shall be constructed in accordance with the procedures outlined in Exhibit B (“Work Letter”).
 
3. LEASE TERM
 
3.1   Commencement. The Lease shall be effective as of the date of execution hereof by Landlord. The term of the Lease and payment of rent shall commence on the date upon which Tenant opens for business, or 90 days following the date Landlord completes its shell tenant improvements and deliveres the Premises to Tenant, which ever occurs first (such date is hereinafter referred to as “Commencement Date”). The execution date shall be deemed to be the date Landlord signs the lease (the “Execution Date”). The term of the Lease shall continue for the Lease Term as set forth on page 1, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Monthly Rent and Net Charges (see above) shall commence on the Commencement Date, unless a specific provision of this Lease specifically sets forth another date for the performance of an obligation to be performed by Xxxxxx.
 
3.2   Lease Year. A Lease Year is defined as a period of twelve (12) full calendar months commencing as of the first day of the first full calendar month following the date that Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, and each subsequent sequential twelve (12) full calendar month period measured from the anniversary date of the commencement of the first (1st) Lease Year.
 
3.3   Delivery of Possession. Xxxxxxxx agrees to deliver to Tenant, and Xxxxxx agrees to accept from Landlord, possession of the Premises defined as the date Landlord notifies Tenant that the Premises are substantially complete to the extent of “Landlord’s Work” as specified in the Work Letter to the point wherein Xxxxxx’s contractor may commence the construction of “Tenant’s Work” as specified in the Work Letter. Tenant may enter into the Premises prior to its substantial completion to commence its work of improvement; provided, however, that Tenant shall have satisfied the insurance requirements required by this Lease, that such activity on the part of Tenant shall be done only in such manner as not to interfere with Landlord’s contractor or other tenants of the Shopping Center, and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damage to or loss of such fixtures, tenant improvements, equipment or furnishings, Tenant accepting the full risk for such damage or loss, if any.

3.5   Failure to Open. In the event Tenant fails to open its business in the Premises within One Hundred-Twenty Days (120) days of the Commencement Date, then in order to compensate Landlord therefor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in addition to the Minimum Monthly Rent, a sum equal to, subject to Force Xxxxxx, Twenty-Five Dollars and 00/100 ($25.00) for each day of delay in opening the Premises for business.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord may not send monthly statements and invoices as a condition to Tenant paying any Rent due under this Lease.

If any Rents or other sum due hereunder shall be overdue and unpaid or should Landlord make payments on behalf of the Tenant, or should Tenant fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease, including and not limited to Tenant’s obligations to restore or clean the Premises following vacation thereof, then Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply said entire Security Deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of Rent or other sums due Landlord or for the loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant; Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand therefore restore said Security Deposit to the original sum deposited.

The Security Deposit shall not bear interest, nor shall Landlord be required to keep such sum separate from its general funds. Should Tenant comply with all of said terms and promptly pay all Rent and all other sums payable by Xxxxxx when due to Landlord, said Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term of the Lease and Xxxxxx’s vacation of the Premises, subject to any

-3-

 

expenses that Landlord may incur as a result of Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Lease. In the event Tenant fails to occupy the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Landlord’s remedies shall include, without limitation thereto, retention of all sums deposited herewith or otherwise paid pursuant to this Lease. In the event of bankruptcy or other debt or creditor proceedings against Tenant, Landlord may elect to apply such Security Deposit first to all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord and then either to (i) the payment of Rent and other sums due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of bankruptcy proceedings, or (ii) the payment of Rent and other sums due to Landlord for all periods after the filing of bankruptcy proceedings.

On demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. Landlord’s reasonable determination of Tenant’s share of taxes for such property which is not separately assessed shall be binding on both parties Tenant shall pay such sum to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of a bill therefore, such billing to be accompanied by reasonable supporting data showing the method of calculation of Xxxxxx’s share thereof.

6.2   Real Property Taxes. In addition to all other sums due hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Xxxxxx’s share of Real Property Taxes (as hereinafter defined and computed).
     (a) Definition of Real Property Taxes. As used herein, “Real Property Taxes” shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license, fee, commercial rental tax, business tax, improvement bond or bonds, parking surcharges, environmental surcharges, levy or tax (other than personal income, estate or franchise taxes of Landlord), imposed on the Premises, the Shopping Center or the leasehold improvement installed within the buildings of the Shopping Center by any authority having direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state, or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street drainage, or other improvement district thereof, or against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises or in the Shopping Center or in the real property of which the Premises and the Shopping Center are a part, including, without limitation, a so called value added tax. The term “Real Property Taxes” shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment, or charge (i) in partial or total substitution for any tax, fee, levy, assessment, or charge (or any increase therein) hereinabove included within the definition of “Real Property Taxes,” or (ii) the nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of “Real Property Taxes,” or (iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises, or if previously charged, has been subsequently increased or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a transfer, either partial or total, of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Shopping Center or which is added to a tax or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of Real Property Taxes by reason of such transfer, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications or changes hereto or any transfer hereof, or (vi) which is imposed on rents, the square footage of the Premises or the Shopping Center, or the act of entering into the Lease for the occupancy of Tenant. With respect to any assessment which under the laws then in force may be evidenced by improvement or other bond, and may be paid in annual installments, only the amount of such annual installment (with appropriate proration for any partial year) and statutory interest thereon shall be included within the computation of the Real Property Taxes levied against the Shopping Center. A copy of the tax bill received by Landlord for Real Property Taxes hereunder shall be made available to Tenant upon receipt of a written request therefor. “Real Property Taxes” shall also include the cost to Landlord of contesting the amount or validity of the aforementioned taxes. Landlord may contest the amount or validity of any “Real Property Taxes,” and if Landlord receives a refund thereof following such contest, such refund shall be attributable to the year in which such tax was included in Real Property Taxes hereunder and Landlord shall promptly credit to Tenant the Tenant’s pro rata share of such refund after deducting any unpaid expenses including litigation expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the refund or shall pay such sum to Tenant if received by Landlord after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. In the event it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any of the Real Property Taxes covered by this Section, the Minimum Monthly Rent payable to Lessor under the terms of this Lease shall be increased by the amount of the portion allocable to Tenant so as to net to Landlord the amount which would have been receivable by Landlord if such tax had not been imposed.
     (b) Tenant’s Share. Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes shall be reasonably determined and calculated by Landlord, based on information (if any) available from the tax assessor as to the allocation of total assessed value to each component part of the Shopping Center. To the extent separate assessments or availability of information from the tax assessor permits such a calculation, it is agreed that (i) Tenant’s share of the Real Property Taxes for the improvements to the common area and for the land underlying the Shopping Center shall be based on the ratio which the leasable area of the Premises bears to all of the leasable area constructed in the Shopping Center which is owned by Landlord, whether or not open for business; and (ii) Tenant’s share of the Real Property Taxes for its Premises shall be based on the ratio which the leasable area of the Premises bears to the leasable area of the buildings constructed on the tax assessor’s parcel(s) on which the Premises are located. If separate assessments or sufficient information from the tax assessor are not available in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, it is agreed that Xxxxxx’s share of Real Property Taxes shall be based on the ratio which the leasable area in the Premises bears to the total leasable area owned by Landlord in the Shopping Center, whether or not actually occupied or open for business. The term “leasable area” as used throughout this Lease shall be deemed to mean and include all areas available for the exclusive use and occupancy by a tenant of Landlord, measured in accordance with Landlord’s standard criteria consistently applied.
7. UTILITIES

Xxxxxx agrees to use such utilities with respect to the Premises.
7.2   Payment. From the date of Substantial Completion of the Premises, and thereafter throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency for all water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewage, janitorial service, and all other materials and utilities supplied to the Premises.

7.3   Garbage Collection. Tenant shall store all trash and garbage within the areas (if any) established by Landlord for such purposes or within the Premises in good quality containers so located as not to be visible to Tenant’s customers and other invitees to the Shopping Center and so as not to create or permit any health or fire hazard, and arrange for the prompt and regular removal thereof. Tenant shall not allow refuse, garbage, or trash to accumulate outside the Premises, except on the date of scheduled pickup service, and then only in areas designated for such purpose by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the election to provide a

    garbage and refuse area in the Shopping Center (including the pickup service) in which Tenant, and all or part of the other tenants in the Shopping Center, shall deposit its garbage and trash. Tenant shall pay to Landlord its proportionate share (as reasonably determined by Landlord) of the costs incurred by Landlord in constructing and maintaining such area and in providing the pickup service. Landlord can elect at any time after providing such area and service to discontinue the use of such area and service.
7.4   Interruption in Service. Unless caused by the willful misconduct or negligence of the Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility service furnished to the Premises, and no such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to xxxxx or withhold the payment of Rent or other charges hereunder.

Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all rent and other sums from any subletting of the Premises, and agrees that Landlord, as assignee and as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact hereby created and authorized, or a receiver for Tenant appointed upon Xxxxxxxx’s application, may collect such rent and other sums and apply the same as provided in this Lease upon Tenant’s default; provided, however, that until the occurrence of any act of default by Tenant or subtenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such sums. Landlord may at its election require as a condition to approval of a proposed sublease that the rent due pursuant to the sublease be paid directly to Landlord and that Landlord shall thereafter remit to Tenant any amount owed by Tenant hereunder.
 
12.6   Transfer of Ownership. If Tenant hereunder is a corporation which under the then current laws of the state in which the Shopping Center is located is not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer, assignment, or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association, or partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty percent (40%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Section. Further, the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the corporation or the sale or other transfer of forty percent (40%) or more of the assets of the corporation shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Section.
13. ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord and the authorized representatives of Landlord may enter the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective purchasers or lenders. During the final one hundred eighty (180) days of the term of this Lease (or at any time after vacation of the Premises by Tenant), Landlord may exhibit the Premises for lease and display thereon, in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with Xxxxxx’s business, the usual “For Lease” signs, and such signs shall remain unmolested upon the Premises. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord such licenses or easements in and over the Premises or any portion thereof as shall be reasonably required for the installation or maintenance of mains, conduits, pipes or other facilities to serve the Shopping Center or any part thereof, including, but not limited to, the premises of any occupant; provided, however, that Landlord shall pay for any alteration required on the Premises as a result of any such exercise, occupancy under or enjoyment of any such license or easement. Landlord and its agents shall have free access to the Premises during all reasonable hours to inspect the Premises and to examine the same to ascertain if they are in good repair, and to make reasonable repairs which Landlord may elect to make hereunder. Tenant further covenants and agrees that Landlord may go upon the Premises and make any necessary repairs to the Premises and perform any work thereon (a) which may be necessary to comply with any laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of any public authority or of the Insurance Services Office or of any similar body, or (b) which Landlord may deem necessary to prevent waste or deterioration in connection with the Premises if Tenant does not make or cause such repairs to be made or performed or cause such work to be performed promptly after receipt of written demand from Landlord, or (c) which Landlord may deem necessary to perform construction work incidental to any portion of the Shopping Center adjacent to, above, or below the Premises. Nothing herein contained shall imply any duty on the part of Landlord to do any such work which under any provision of this Lease Tenant may be required to do, nor shall it constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default in failing to do the same. No exercise by Landlord of any rights herein reserved shall entitle Tenant to any damage for any injury or inconvenience occasioned thereby nor to any abatement of rent.
14. LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Shopping Center, the Premises and any building of which the Premises are a part free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any liens and encumbrances arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or at the direction of Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within twenty (20) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause such lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Xxxxxxxx and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the rate provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or which Landlord shall deem proper, for the protection of Landlord and the Premises, and any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics’ and material-men’s liens. Tenant shall give to Landlord at least fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice of the expected date of commencement of any work relating to alterations or additions to the Premises, which work shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims of liability for any injury or damage to any person or property arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises, or from the conduct of Tenant’s business, or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or elsewhere in the Shopping Center. Tenant shall further indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under this Lease, or arising from any active or passive negligence or intentional acts of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors, employees, concessionaires, subtenants, licensees, customers or business invitees and from and against all costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. In no event shall Tenant be liable for damage or injury occasioned by the negligence of Landlord and its designated agents, servants, or employees, unless covered by insurance Tenant is required to provide. In the event any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. This obligation to indemnify shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees 0 made or may be made. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises arising from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord, except in connection with damage or injury resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized agents.

15.3   Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s business or loss of income therefrom or for damage which may be sustained by the persons, goods, wares, merchandise or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees, customers, agents or contractors or any other person in or about the Premises caused by or resulting from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction, or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures of the same, whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Tenant, except in connection with damage or injury resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized agents. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of the Shopping Center.
 
 
16. INSURANCE
 
16.1   Tenant’s Policies of Insurance. Tenant covenants and agrees that from and after its first entry into the Premises (which shall include any time during which Tenant installs fixtures and equipment prior to the delivery of possession of the Premises), Tenant will carry and maintain throughout the term of this Lease at its sole cost and expense, the types of insurance in the amounts and forms hereinafter specified.
  (a)   Public Liability and Property Damage. Tenant shall obtain and maintain bodily injury and property damage insurance with coverage limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined each occurrence and in the aggregate insuring against any and all liability of the insured with respect to the Premises or arising out of the maintenance, use or occupancy thereof. All such insurance shall specifically insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement set forth in this Lease as to the liability for injury to or death of persons and damage to property. Such policy shall name Landlord, Xxxxxxxx’s lender and Landlord’s property manager as additional insureds thereunder.
 
  (b)   Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall obtain and maintain insurance covering all of the items described as the Tenant’s work in Exhibit B, heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment and damage resulting therefrom and thereto, Tenant’s leasehold improvements, alterations, additions or improvements permitted under this Lease, trade fixtures, merchandise and personal property from time to time in, on or upon the Premises, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost from time to time during the term of this Lease, providing protection against any peril included within the classification “all risk coverage.” Tenant agrees to carry such insurance, it being expressly understood and agreed that none of the items to be insured by Tenant hereunder shall be insured by Landlord, nor shall Landlord be required to reinstall, reconstruct or repair any of such items. Any policy proceeds shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed.
 
  (c)   Business Interruption. Tenant shall obtain and maintain business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or any building wherein the Premises may be located.
 
  (d)   Plate Glass. Tenant shall obtain and maintain full coverage plate glass insurance on the Premises.
 
  (e)   Dram Shopping. If Tenant sells or serves any alcoholic beverages whatsoever within the Premises, Tenant’s public liability insurance policy shall include coverage for dram shop liability.
 
  (f)   Other. Tenant shall obtain and maintain workmen’s compensation insurance as required by law. and products liability insurance where the use of the Premises by Xxxxxx is determined reasonably by Landlord to require such coverage.
16.2   Landlord’s Policies of Insurance. Landlord shall at all times during the term hereof maintain in effect coverage under a policy or policies of insurance covering the Premises and all completed buildings in the Shopping Center (or the portion of the Shopping Center owned by Landlord), in an amount not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full replacement cost (exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings) from time to time during the term of this Lease or the amount of such insurance which Landlord’s mortgage lender requires Landlord to maintain, whichever is greater, providing protection against any peril generally included within the classification “all risk” together with such casualty endorsements as Landlord may deem appropriate. Additionally, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) carry: (i) public liability and property damage liability insurance and/or excess coverage liability insurance on the buildings constituting the Shopping Center; and, (ii) earthquake and/or flood damage insurance; and, (iii) rental income insurance at its election or if required by its lender from time to time during the term hereof, in such amounts and with such limits as Landlord or its lender may deem appropriate. In addition to all other sums due hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent Tenant’s share of the cost of Landlord’s insurance as described herein (collectively, “Insurance Expense”). Tenant’s share of Landlord’s Insurance Expense shall be based on the ratio which the leasable area of the Premises bears to the leasable area of the Shopping Center owned by Landlord (whether or not open for business) covered by such insurance.
 
16.3   Policy Form. All policies of insurance provided for herein shall be issued by insurance companies qualified to do business in the State of California and reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Each such insurance company shall have a rating of at least A, Class IX in Best’s Key Rating Guide. Executed copies of such policies of insurance as Tenant is required to carry hereunder, or certificates thereof, shall be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to Tenant’s first entry into the Premises, even if such entry is only for the purpose of installing Tenant’s fixtures and equipment and does not constitute acceptance of delivery of possession of the Premises. All public liability and property damage insurance policies shall contain a provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recovery under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its servants, agents and employees by reason of the negligence of the Tenant. As often as any such policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent. All policies of insurance delivered to Landlord must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give to Landlord thirty (30) days’ notice in writing in advance of any modification, cancellation or lapse or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance. All public liability, property damage, and other casualty policies shall be written as primary policies, and shall be neither excess coverage policies nor contributing with

-12-

 

    coverage carried by landlord. The limits of such insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within this Section, either party’s obligation to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by them; provided, however, that Landlord and Landlord’s lender shall be named as additional insureds thereunder as their interests may appear and that the coverage afforded Landlord and Landlord’s lender will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that the requirements set forth herein are otherwise satisfied. Xxxxxx agrees to permit Landlord at all reasonable times to inspect the policies of insurance of Tenant covering risks upon the Premises for which policies or copies thereof are not required to be delivered to Landlord. Not more frequently than every two (2) years, if, in the opinion of Xxxxxxxx’s lender or of the insurance analyst retained by Landlord, the amount of bodily injury and property damage liability insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, Tenant shall increase the insurance coverage as required by either Xxxxxxxx’s lender or Landlord’s insurance analyst.
 
16.4   Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have against the other in connection with any of the damage occasioned to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, their respective property, the Premises, or its contents or to other portions of the Shopping Center, arising from any risk generally covered by “all risk” coverage insurance; the parties each, on behalf of their respective insurance companies insuring the property of either Landlord or Tenant against any such loss, waive any right of subrogation that it may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be.
 
16.5   Compliance with Law. Tenant agrees that it will not at any time during the term of this Lease carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the Premises which will in any way tend to increase the insurance rates upon the building of which the Premises are a part. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount of any increase in premiums for insurance against loss by fire or any other peril that may be charged during the term of this Lease on the amount of insurance to be carried by Landlord on the building of which the Premises are a part resulting from the foregoing or from Tenant doing any act in or about said Premises which does so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with all requirements of the insurance underwriters or any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and extended coverage insurance for the Premises including, without limitation thereto, the installation of fire extinguishers or an automatic dry chemical extinguishing system.
 
 
17. DEFAULT AND DEFAULT REMEDIES  
 
17.1   Defaults by Xxxxxx. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) Any failure by Tenant to pay Rent, or additional Rent, or any other monetary sums required to be paid hereunder at the time and in the manner provided in this Lease; (b) the abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant (abandonment or vacation shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, Tenant’s failure to occupy and operate a business within the Premises for ten (10) consecutive days); (c) a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act, or the appointment of a receiver (except a receiver appointed at the request of Landlord) to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (d) a failure by Xxxxxx to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed and performed by Xxxxxx, where such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within said ten (10) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; provided further, however, Landlord in its sole discretion may require Tenant to deliver a bond, deposit funds or such other form of security device which may be necessary to protect the Premises, Landlord, and the Shopping Center in the event such default cannot be cured within said ten (10) day period. Any such notice of default shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required by law.
               (a) Remedies. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows upon Xxxxxxxx’s remedies for any default by Xxxxxx:
                    (i) In the event of any default by Tenant beyond applicable cure periods, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
                    (1) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
                    (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
                    (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
                    (4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Xxxxxx’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom; and
                    (5) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the law applicable in the state in which the Shopping Center is located.
                    (ii) The term “Rent,” as used herein, shall be deemed to be and to mean Minimum Monthly Rent, Percentage Rent (if any), and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
                    (iii) As used in subparagraphs (i)(a) and (b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. As used in subparagraph (i)(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
                    (iv) In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and/or at Landlord’s option all of Tenant’s fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements, additions, alterations and other personal property, shall remain upon the Premises and in that event, and continuing during the length of such default, Landlord shall have the sole right to take exclusive possession of such property and to use it, without charge or payment of rent therefor, until all defaults are cured or, at Landlord’s option, at any time during the term of this Lease, to require Tenant to forthwith remove such property.

-13-

 

                    (v) In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord shall elect to reenter as provided in subparagraph (iv) above, or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to any legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in subparagraph (i) above, Landlord may from time to time without terminating this Lease, either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises.
                    (vi) In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of Rent hereunder, be less than the Rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.
                    (vii) No reentry or taking possession of the Premises or any other action shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default by Xxxxxx, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.
               (b) Additional Rights of Landlord. In the event of termination of this Lease, or in the event of default but with no election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall remove all personal property to which it has the right to possession. All property of Tenant not removed shall, at the option of Landlord, become the sole property of Landlord. Tenant waives all rights to notice and all common law and statutory claims and causes of action which it may have against Landlord subsequent to such date as regards the storage, destruction, damage, loss of use and ownership of the personal property affected by the terms of this Section. Tenant acknowledges Xxxxxxxx’s need to relet the Premises upon termination of this Lease or repossession of the Premises and understands that the forfeitures and waivers provided herein are necessary to aid such reletting and to prevent Landlord from incurring a loss for inability to deliver the property to a prospective tenant.
                    (i) Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a lien upon and security interest in all fixtures, chattels and personal property of every kind now or hereafter to be placed or installed in or on the Premises and agrees that in the event of any default on the part of the Tenant the Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies afforded the secured party by the chapter on “Default” of Division 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of California on the date of this Lease and may, in connection therewith, also (a) enter on the Premises to assemble and take possession of the collateral, (b) require Tenant to assemble the collateral and make its possession available to the Landlord at the Premises, or (c) enter the Premises, render the collateral, if equipment, unusable and dispose of it in a manner provided by the Uniform Commercial Code of California on the Premises. Tenant designates Landlord his attorney-in-fact for purposes of executing such documents as may be necessary to perfect the lien and security interest granted hereunder.
                    (ii) Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Xxxxxx to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Xxxxxx. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
                    (iii) In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for two (2) installments of Minimum Monthly Rent in any one calendar year, then the Minimum Monthly Rent and/or all other charges hereunder shall, at Landlord’s election by written notice to Tenant, become due and payable quarterly in advance for the next twelve (12) calendar months providing Tenant has not defaulted during this time period, rather than monthly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary. In the event of any check from Tenant to Landlord is dishonored or returned for insufficient funds more than once in any twelve (12) calendar month period, then Landlord may require that for one (1) year thereafter that all payments made by Tenant to Landlord shall be by money order or cashier’s check.
                    (iv) Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any covenant of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after the date of any default beyond applicable cure period by Tenant hereunder.
                    (v) The various rights, options, election powers, and remedies of Landlord contained in this Section and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them exclusive of any others or of any legal or equitable remedy which Landlord might otherwise have in the event of breach or default, and the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord shall not in any way impair its right to any other right or remedy.
                    (vi) The waiver of Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No covenant, term, or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord.
17.2   Rights and Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code.
  (a)   Upon the filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor in possession, and any trustee who may be appointed agree as follows: (1) to perform each and every obligation of Tenant under this Lease until such time as this Lease is either rejected or assumed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court; and (2) to pay monthly in advance on the first day of each month a reasonable compensation for use and occupancy of the Premises an amount equal to all Minimum Monthly Rent, and Percentage Rent and other charges otherwise due pursuant to this Lease; and (3) to reject or assume this Lease within sixty (60) days of the filing of such petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code; and (4) to give Landlord at least forty five (45) days prior written notice of any abandonment of the Premises (any such abandonment to be deemed a rejection of this Lease); and (5) to do all other things of benefit to Landlord otherwise required under the Bankruptcy Code; and (6) to be deemed to have rejected this Lease in the event of the failure to comply with any of the above; and (7) to

-14-

 

      have consented to the entry of an order by an appropriate United States Bankruptcy Court providing all of the above, waiving notice and hearing of the entry of same.
  (b)   Included within and in addition to any other conditions or obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of assumption and/or assignment are the following: (1) the cure of any monetary defaults and the reimbursement of pecuniary loss prior to such assumption and/or assignment, which pecuniary loss shall include, but not be limited to, any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord; and (2) the deposit of an additional sum equal to three (3) months Minimum Monthly Rent to be held pursuant to the terms of Section 5 of this Lease; and (3) the use of the Premises as set forth in this Lease and the quality, quantity and/or lines of merchandise of any goods or services required to be offered for sale shall remain unchanged; and (4) the reorganized debtor or assignee of such debtor in possession or of Tenant’s trustee must demonstrate in writing that it has sufficient background including, but not limited to, substantial retailing experience in shopping centers of comparable size and the financial ability to operate a retail establishment in the Premises in the manner contemplated by this Lease and meet all other reasonable criteria of Landlord as did Tenant upon execution of this Lease; and (5) the prior written consent of any mortgagee to which this Lease has been assigned as collateral security; and (6) the Premises, at all times, remains a single store and no physical changes of any kind may be made to the Premises unless in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Lease.
 
  (c)   No default under this Lease by Xxxxxx, either prior to or subsequent to the filing of such a petition, shall be deemed to have been waived unless expressly done so in writing by Xxxxxxxx.
 
  (d)   It is understood and agreed that this is a Lease of real property in a shopping center as such a lease is described in Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.
17.3   Default by Landlord. In the event Landlord shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or observed within thirty (30) days after written notice of default or if more than thirty (30) days shall be required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord shall fail to proceed diligently to cure such default after written notice, then in that event Landlord shall be responsible to Tenant for any and all damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s breach. Xxxxxx agrees, however, that any damages arising out of a money judgment against Landlord shall be satisfied only out of Landlord’s estate in the Shopping Center, and neither Landlord nor any partner, coventurer, cotenant, officer, director, employee, agent or representative of Landlord shall have any personal liability whatsoever with respect to any such judgment. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent waivable under law, any right to satisfy said money judgment against Landlord or any partner, coventurer, cotenant, officer, director, employee, agent or representative of Landlord except from Xxxxxxxx’s estate in the Shopping Center.
 
17.4   Mortgagee Protection. If the Premises or any part thereof are at any time subject to a first mortgage or a first deed of trust and this Lease or the rentals due from Tenant hereunder are assigned to such mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary (called “Assignee” for purposes of this Section only) and Tenant is given written notice thereof, including the post office address of such Assignee, then Tenant shall give written notice to such Assignee, specifying the default in reasonable detail, and affording such Assignee a reasonable opportunity to make performance for and on behalf of Landlord. If and when the said Assignee has made performance on behalf of Landlord, such default shall be deemed cured.
 
 
18. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
 
18.1   Insured Risks. In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils covered by Xxxxxxxx’s fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably practical, commence repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided Landlord’s obligations shall not exceed Landlord’s construction obligations at the commencement of the term. If the existing laws do not permit the Premises to be restored to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately before destruction, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant prior to the commencement of the work of repair or restoration by Landlord; provided, however, that in any event Landlord shall provide such written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after such destruction. In the event of the total destruction of the Premises or in the event of a partial destruction of the Premises (defined as at least thirty three and one third percent (33 1/3%) of the then full replacement cost of the Premises as of the date of destruction) during the last two (2) years of the term hereof, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such destruction.
 
18.2   Uninsured Risks. In the event the Premises are damaged as a result of any flood, earthquake, act of war, or from any other casualty not covered by Landlord’s “all risk” insurance, to any extent whatsoever, Landlord may within ninety (90) days following the date of such damage, elect to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises and, if Landlord so elects, Landlord shall, as soon as reasonably practical, commence such repair, reconstruction or restoration and shall prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; or within said ninety (90) day period elect not to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate. In either such event, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within said ninety (90) day period.
 
18.3   Extent of Obligation. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding contained hereinabove, Landlord shall not be required to repair, reconstruct or restore any damage by fire or other cause to any portion of the Premises constructed by or at the direct or indirect expense of Tenant; Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall be responsible for all such items and for the replacement of its stock in trade, trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment. Tenant shall commence the installation of its work of repair and restoration of its fixtures, equipment and merchandise promptly upon delivery of possession of the Premises and shall diligently prosecute such installation to completion. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any partial or total destruction of the Premises which Landlord is obligated to restore or may restore under any of the provisions of this Lease. Upon any termination of the Lease under any of the provisions of this Section, each party shall be released thereby without further obligations to the other party coincident with the surrender of possession of the Premises to Landlord, except for items which have theretofore accrued and be then unpaid. In the event of such termination, all proceeds from Tenant’s fire and extended coverage insurance pertaining to improvements to the Premises which would otherwise become the property of Landlord upon expiration or termination of the Lease, shall be disbursed and paid to Landlord.
 
18.4   Partial Destruction of the Shopping Center. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if thirty three and one third percent (33 1/3%) or more of the buildings constructed within the Shopping Center shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, notwithstanding that the Premises may be unaffected thereby, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to do so within ninety (90) days from the date of occurrence of such damage or destruction, in which event the term of this Lease shall expire at the end of the calendar month in which such notice is given and Tenant shall thereupon surrender the Premises to Landlord.
 
18.5   Abatement of Rent. In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration as herein provided, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be

-15-

 

    abated proportionately with the degree to which Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises is impaired commencing from the date of destruction and continuing during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration. Tenant shall continue the operation of its business on the Premises during any such period to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management; the obligation of Tenant hereunder to pay additional sums shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for the loss of profits, or the loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises, or the building of which the Premises may be a part, Tenant’s personal property or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.
 
 
19. EMINENT DOMAIN
 
19.1   Total or Substantial Taking. If title to all of the Premises is taken for any public or quasipublic use under any statute, or by right of eminent domain, or by purchase in lieu of eminent domain, or if title to so much of the Premises is so taken that a reasonable amount of reconstruction of the Premises will not result in the Premises being a practical improvement and reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued occupancy for the uses and purposes for which the Premises are leased, then, in either event, this Lease shall terminate on the date that the taking of the Premises, or part thereof, occurs.
 
19.2   Partial Taking. If any part of the Premises shall be so taken and the remaining part thereof (after reconstruction of the then existing building(s) of which the Premises are a part) is reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued occupancy for the purposes and uses for which the Premises are leased, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate on the date that possession of such part is taken, and the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the leasable area of the Premises so taken, less any addition to the Premises by reconstruction, bears to the original leasable area of the Premises. Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, subject to its receipt of compensation for such taking, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the building(s) of which the Premises are a part so as to render the portion of the building(s) not taken as a complete architectural unit and the remaining Premises a complete merchandising unit.
 
19.3   Abatement of Rent. If the continued occupancy of Tenant is interfered with for any time during the partial taking, notwithstanding that the partial taking does not terminate this Lease as to the part not so taken, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall proportionately xxxxx so long as Tenant is not able to continuously occupy the part remaining and not so taken.
 
19.4   Substantial Taking of Shopping Center. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if fifty percent (50%) or more of the land area of the Shopping Center shall be taken for any public or quasipublic use under any statute, or by right of eminent domain, or by purchase in lieu of eminent domain, notwithstanding that the Premises may be unaffected thereby, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to do so within ninety (90) days from the date of such taking, in which event the term of this Lease shall expire at the end of the calendar month in which such notice is given and Tenant shall thereupon surrender the Premises to Landlord.
 
19.5   Compensation. All compensation (including without limitation the bonus value of the leasehold interest) awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the fee title shall belong to Landlord whether such compensation be awarded or paid as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, taking of the leasehold interest or taking of the fee, except as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, Tenant shall retain and have a claim for (a) the unamortized value over the term of this Lease of Tenant’s leasehold improvements (to the extent Landlord has not contributed to the cost thereof); (b) that portion (if any) of the award made to Landlord for the taking which results in the enhancement of the award to Landlord as a result of removable fixtures, removable by Tenant herein, under the terms of this Lease but which are required to be taken by the condemnor or are so acquired by the condemnor. Tenant shall likewise retain all compensation relating to Xxxxxx’s loss of income, all relocation assistance, moving and relocation expenses to the extent (if any) provided by the condemning authority.
 
 
20. SUBORDINATION TO SUPERIOR LIENS, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ATTORNMENT, OFFSET STATEMENTS
 
20.1   Subordination of Lease to Declaration and Other Superior Liens. Tenant hereby agrees that this Lease and Xxxxxx’s rights under this Lease are subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases, the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, any declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (which declaration is referred to in this Lease as the “Declaration”), any reciprocal easement agreement (each of which is hereinafter referred to as a “Superior Lien”) that now or at any subsequent time affects the Premises or the Shopping Center. In addition, Xxxxxx agrees to consent or subordinate to any subdivision map or parcel map that now or hereafter affects the Shopping Center, together with any modifications thereof. The foregoing provisions shall be self operative, and no further instrument of subordination or consent will be required in order to effect them. Nevertheless, Tenant will execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord at any time, and from time to time, upon demand by Landlord, documents requested by Landlord or any holder of any Superior Lien to confirm or effect such subordination, or to confirm the attornment obligation set forth in this Lease, or which are otherwise necessary to further the intention of the parties under this Lease be subject and subordinate to any Superior Lien and that Tenant will consent to the subdivision of the Shopping Center. If Xxxxxx does not execute, acknowledge, or deliver any of those documents within twenty (20) days after written demand, Landlord, and its successors and assigns, will be entitled to execute, acknowledge, and deliver those documents on behalf of Xxxxxx as Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver those documents on behalf of Xxxxxx.
 
20.2   Quiet Enjoyment. Xxxxxxxx agrees that Tenant, upon paying the Rent and other monetary sums due under this Lease and performing the covenants and conditions of this Lease and upon recognizing any subsequent purchaser as Landlord, may quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term hereof or any extension thereof; subject, however, to the provisions of any of the aforesaid ground leases, mortgages, deeds of trust, or covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, rights and rights of way of record (if any) as they presently exist or may be executed or modified from time to time.
 
20.3   Attornment. In the event that Landlord sells or transfers its interest in the Shopping Center, or in the event that any proceedings are brought for default under ground or any underlying lease, or in the event of foreclosure or the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such transfer, foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease, provided said purchaser expressly agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Lease.
 
20.4   Estoppel Certificate. Within five (5) days after Tenant opens for business or at anytime within ten (10) days after written request therefor by Landlord in the event that an estoppel certificate is required from Tenant upon any sale, assignment or hypothecation of the Premises or the land thereunder by Landlord or for any other reason, Xxxxxx agrees to deliver in recordable form an estoppel certificate addressed to any such proposed mortgagee or purchaser or to Landlord certifying that (i) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications; (ii) the amount of Minimum Monthly Rent and the date to which Minimum Monthly Rent and other monetary obligations hereunder have been paid in advance; (iii) the amount of any security deposited with Landlord; (iv) the Landlord is not in default hereunder or if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating

-16-

 

the nature of any claimed default; (v) the surface and subsurface soil and water of the Premises have not been contaminated by “hazardous wastes or substances”; and (vi) such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (a) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (b) that no more than one (1) month’s Minimum Monthly Rent has been paid in advance, (c) that the amount of the security deposited with Landlord shall be as represented by landlord, and (d) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance.
21. SIGNS; ADVERTISING
All exterior signs installed by or at the expense of Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. Landlord has the right to implement, revise, modify and amend the sign criteria from time to time, without liability to Tenant whatsoever, and Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense cause its signs to at all times comply with such revisions, modifications and amendments to the sign criteria. All signs located in the interior of the Premises shall be in good taste so as not to detract from the general appearance of the Premises and the Shopping Center. No illuminated sign located in the interior of the Premises and which is visible from the outside shall be permitted without the prior written approval of Landlord. The hours of the lighting of the display windows within the Premises shall be from dusk until 11:00 p.m., unless otherwise approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall not have or acquire any property right or interest in the name of the Shopping Center. Landlord reserves the right to change the name, title, or address of the Shopping Center or the address of the Premises at any time, and Tenant waives all claims for damages caused by any such change. No sign, decal or other material shall be applied to the windows of the Premises. Tenant shall use the name of the Shopping Center in which the Premises are located in all Tenant’s advertising in connection with Xxxxxx’s business at the Premises and for no other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent.
22. MERCHANTS’ ASSOCIATION
 
23. GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
23.1   Waiver of California Code Sections. Tenant waives the provisions of Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) with respect to the destruction of the Premises, Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 with respect to Landlord’s repair duties and Tenant’s right of repair, and Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises for public or quasipublic use by statute, by right of eminent domain, or by purchase in lieu of eminent domain, and any right of redemption or reinstatement of Tenant under any present or future case law or statutory provision (including Code of Civil Procedure Sections 473, 1174(c) and 1179 and Civil Code Section 3275) in the event Tenant is dispossessed from the Premises for any reason. This waiver applies to future statutes enacted in addition or in substitution to the statutes specified herein, and this waiver shall apply even though Tenant may be the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy.
 
23.2   Other Tenancies in the Shopping Center. So long as Tenant is open and operating its business in the Leased Premises for the Permitted Use as described in Section 9, hereof, and there has not occurred an “Event in Default” as described in Section 17, hereof, Landlord agrees not to sell, lease, let use or permit to be used, any other property owned or controlled by it within the center during the period of this lease or any extension to any entity whose primary business is a Retail Banking Institution as described in Section 9. In the event it should become necessary for Landlord to defend Xxxxxx’s exclusivity in Legal Proceedings, Tenant shall assume responsibility for expenses related to such action. Additionally, Xxxxxxxx agrees that it will not amend or modify any existing lease so as to permit a Competing Business. This limitation shall not apply to: (i) present tenants (or their assignees or sublessees) whose leases may not prohibit the operation of a Competing Business or (ii) any “major tenant” (defined as any tenant occupying 8,000 square feet or more of space in the Shopping Center). Additionally, this limitation shall exclude the current sublease existing within the Holiday Market.
 
23.3   Relocation. Landlord reserves the right, prior to Landlord’s delivery of the Premises to Tenant for Tenant’s fixturization and upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, to relocate Tenant to another location in the Shopping Center of approximately the same size as the original Premises described herein. Any such relocation shall be at the sole cost and expense of Landlord. In the event Tenant declines such a move, it shall so inform Xxxxxxxx in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the above-described written notice. Landlord shall then have the election either to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant, which notice shall be given within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of decline, or in the alternative, Landlord may withdraw its notice of relocation.
 
23.4   Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Shopping Center, other than a transfer for security purposes only, and after the date specified in any notice of transfer, Landlord shall be relieved from all obligations and liabilities accruing thereafter on the part of Landlord, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord at the time of transfer in which Tenant has an interest shall be delivered to the successor of Landlord. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Xxxxxx agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided all Landlord’s obligations hereunder are assumed in writing by the transferee.
 
23.5   Captions; Attachments; Defined Terms.
  (a)   The captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to be relevant in resolving any question of interpretation or construction of any article or section of this Lease.
 
  (b)   Exhibits attached hereto, and addenda and schedules initialed by the parties, are deemed by attachment to constitute part of this Lease and are incorporated herein.
 
  (c)   The words “Landlord” and “Tenant,” as used herein, shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in neuter gender include the masculine and feminine and words in the masculine or feminine gender include the neuter. If there be more than one Landlord or Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Landlord or Tenant shall be joint and several; as to a Tenant consisting of husband and wife, the obligations shall extend individually to their sole and separate property as well as community property. The term “Landlord” shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or of a tenant’s interest in a ground lease of the Premises or the Shopping Center. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Landlord shall be binding on Xxxxxxxx’s successors and assigns only during their respective periods of ownership.
23.6   Notice. Wherever in this Lease it shall be required or permitted that notice or demand be given or served by either party to this Lease to or on the other, such notice or demand shall be given or served, and shall not be deemed to have been duly given or served, unless in writing and served personally or forwarded by certified or registered mail or reputable courier service which provides written proof of delivery, addressed to the addresses of the parties specified in the Basic Lease Provisions. Either party may change such address

-17-

 

    by written notice sent to the other in the manner aforementioned.
 
23.7   Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that if any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.
 
23.8   Attorneys Fee; Costs of Suit.
  (a)   In the event that the Landlord or Tenant must employ an attorney to enforce its rights under this Lease or in the event of any dispute between the parties arising out of or in connection with this Lease, whether or not such dispute results in litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, whether or not a settlement is obtained before or after litigation is commenced. The prevailing party’s right to recover such attorneys’ fees and costs shall extend to and include any appeals, post trial proceedings (including actions or proceedings initiated to collect upon an earlier judgment), and bankruptcy court proceedings. Moreover, the parties specifically understand and agree that the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord in serving Tenant with a notice of Xxxxxx’s failure to perform any obligation under this Lease.
 
  (b)   Should Landlord, without fault on Landlord’s part, be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant or by any third party against Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or using the Premises by license of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or any such other person or otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Tenant or of any such other person, Tenant covenants to save and hold Landlord harmless from any judgment rendered against Landlord or the Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in or in connection with such litigation.
23.9   Time; Joint and Several Liability. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions relating to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. All the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by either party, if such party shall consist of more than one person or organization, shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all rights and remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other remedy at law or in equity.
 
23.10   Binding Effect; Choice of Law. The parties hereto agree that all the provisions hereof are to be construed as both covenants and conditions as though the words importing such covenants and conditions were used in each separate paragraph hereof. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Xxxxxx, all of the provisions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Shopping center is located.
 
23.11   Waiver. No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed, and any waiver of the breach of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other covenant, term or condition. Acceptance by Landlord of any performance by Xxxxxx after the time the same shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of the breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing.
 
23.12   Surrender of Premises. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.
 
23.13   Holding Over. If after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant remains in possession of the Premises with Landlord’s permission (express or implied), Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month only, upon all of the provisions of this Lease (except Term and Minimum Monthly Rent), but the Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant shall be increased to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant at the expiration of the term of this Lease. Such Minimum Monthly Rent shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of each month. If either party desires to terminate such month to month tenancy, it shall give the other party not less that thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of the date of termination.
 
23.14   Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, shall excuse the performance by such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage, except the obligations imposed with regard to Rent, additional Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
 
23.15   Brokerage Fees. Tenant warrants and represents that it has not dealt with any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation except as noted in the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any costs, expense or liability (including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commission or fees claimed by any other real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation by reason of any act of Tenant.
 
23.16   Specific Performance. Landlord shall have the right, in addition to its other remedies and means of redress provided by this Lease and by law, to obtain specific performance of any and all covenants or obligations of Tenant to be kept and performed under this Lease.
 
23.17   Waiver of Jury Trial and Counterclaims. The parties hereto waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease and the right to file therein any crosscomplaints, counterclaims or crossclaims against the other party, other than those which may be compulsory.
 
23.18   Jurisdiction and Venue. Landlord and Tenant agree that the courts of the state where the Shopping Center is located shall have jurisdiction over the Landlord and Tenant in any actions arising under or relating to this Lease. Venue shall be Sacramento County, California.
 
23.19   No Partnership. It is agreed that nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed as creating a partnership or joint venture between Landlord and Tenant or between Landlord and any other party, or cause Landlord to be responsible in any way for the debt or obligations of Tenant, or any other party.

-18-

 

23.20   Nondiscrimination. Tenant herein covenants as follows by and for Tenant, Xxxxxx’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through Tenant, and this Lease is made and accepted upon the subject to the following conditions: There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, sex, color, creed, national origin or ancestry, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises herein leased, nor shall Tenant, or any person claiming under or through Tenant, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants or vendees in the Premises herein leased.
 
23.21   Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that he/she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation in accordance with the Bylaws of said corporation, and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its terms.
 
23.22   Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder which is not paid when due (including, without limitation, amounts due as reimbursement to Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord in performing obligations of Tenant hereunder) shall bear interest at the highest rate then allowed under the usury laws of the state in which the Shopping Center is located from the date due until paid, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.
 
23.23   No Reservation of Premises. Neither the negotiation of the terms of this Lease nor the submission thereof for examination or signature shall constitute a reservation of the Premises or any space within the Shopping Center, or any option to lease, or an agreement to enter into a lease, and this instrument shall not be effective as a lease or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.
 
23.24   Modification for Lender. If, in connection with obtaining construction, interim or permanent financing for the Building, the lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant’s rights hereunder.
 
23.25   Tenant’s Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if any provision of this Lease expressly or impliedly obligates Landlord not to unreasonably withhold its consent or approval, an action for declaratory judgment or specific performance will be Xxxxxx’s sole right and remedy in any dispute as to whether Landlord has breached such obligation.
 
23.26   Entire Agreement. THIS INSTRUMENT ALONG WITH ANY EXHIBITS AND ATTACHMENTS HERETO CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT RELATIVE TO THE PREMISES AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE EXHIBITS AND ATTACHMENTS MAY BE ALTERED, AMENDED OR REVOKED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING SIGNED BY BOTH LANDLORD AND TENANT. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AFFECTING THIS LEASE, AND THIS LEASE SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS NEGOTIATIONS, ARRANGEMENTS, BROCHURES, AGREEMENTS, OR REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, IF ANY, BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO OR DISPLAYED BY LANDLORD TO TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF, AND NONE THEREOF SHALL BE USED TO INTERPRET OR CONSTRUE THIS LEASE. THERE ARE NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES BETWEEN THE PARTIES OR THE PARTIES AND THEIR AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL RELIANCE WITH RESPECT TO REPRESENTATIONS IS SOLELY UPON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease to be effective as of the date of execution hereof by Xxxxxxxx.
