1. LEASE OF DEMISED PREMISES. In consideration of Rent to be paid by Tenant and of the covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, Tenant does hereby lease from Landlord the Demised Premises. “Initial Term” shall mean the time period from the date on which possession of the Demised Premises is delivered by Landlord to Tenant through the Expiration Date. “Term” shall mean the Initial Term plus any renewal or extension thereof. The approximate location of the Demised Premises is shown on the attached site plan.
2. LEASE CONTINGENCY - APPROVALS. This Lease shall be contingent upon Landlord obtaining all approvals required by Landlord’s existing covenants and obligations with respect to the Shopping Center. In the event that Landlord is unable to obtain any such approvals, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease immediately upon written notice to Tenant and the Lease shall be null and void without any further liability to either party.
3. RENT PAYABLE. Throughout the Term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the following (collectively referred to as "Rent"): (a) Fixed Minimum Rent and (b) all additional sums, charges, or amounts of whatever nature ("Additional Rent") to be paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with applicable law, court order or this Lease. Commencing on the dates set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Rent, payable on or before the first day of each month in advance, via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) through Xxxx Trust (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/), or provided Landlord provides notice to Tenant, via such other payment method and/or at such other location as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, without deduction or set-off. Landlord and Tenant agree that Fixed Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, Additional Rent, and all other charges paid to Landlord under this Lease shall qualify as “rents from real property” as defined in Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”) and as further defined in Treasury Regulation (“Regulation”) Section 1.856-4. Should the requirements of the Code and/or Regulation be amended so that any amount payable to Landlord under this Lease no longer qualifies as “rents from real property” for the purposes of the Code and associated Regulations, such amount payable to Landlord under this Lease shall, at Landlord's option, be adjusted so that it will qualify as “rents from real property” for the purposes of the Code and Regulation, as amended; provided, however, that any adjustments required pursuant to this provision shall be made so as to produce the equivalent (in economic terms) consideration as was payable prior to such adjustment. Tenant and Landlord shall enter into such amendment or amendments as may be necessary to effect the foregoing and negotiate in good faith with respect thereto. Except for casualty or condemnation, if Tenant is paying any form of Rent abatement, or is entitled to pay a future Rent abatement, and Tenant extends the Term of this Lease via the exercise of an option, renewal, holdover, or otherwise, then upon the commencement of such extended Term, Tenant shall resume the full payment of Rent as provided under this Lease. For purposes of clarity, Tenant shall have no right to revive the direct cause of such Rent abatement during the remaining Term of this Lease. All payments received by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be applied to the oldest payment obligation then owed by Tenant.
4. REPORTING GROSS SALES. Intentionally Omitted.

Tenant's Proportionate Share is the square footage of the Demised Premises divided by the total square footage of the leased floor area within the Shopping Center, not including those tenants who pay the real estate taxes directly for such tenant’s premises, provided that the taxes attributed to such tenant’s premises are also not included in the calculation of Real Estate Taxes. Following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall send Tenant a reconciliation statement showing actual real estate taxes for the prior calendar year. In the event of a deficit, Tenant shall pay the difference upon demand, in the event of an overage, Landlord shall credit same toward Tenant’s account. The initial Real Estate Tax payment is Landlord’s estimate of the initial monthly amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes and is subject to adjustment as reasonably requested by Landlord.]

Tenant covenants and agrees that it will defend, indemnify, protect and save and keep Landlord forever harmless against and from (i) any penalty or damage or charges imposed for any violation of any law or ordinance, whether occasioned by Tenant or those holding under Tenant;(ii) against and from all claims, loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of or from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant, or Tenant’s contractors, licensees, agents, servants, invitees, concessionaires or employees, or arising from any accident or other occurrence on or about the Demised Premises, or any sidewalk or common area used by Tenant, causing injury to any person or property; (iii) against and from any and all claims, loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of any failure of Tenant in any respect to comply with and perform all the requirements and provisions of this Lease. Tenant's duty to defend shall arise when Tenant receives notice of any claims, loss, cost, damage or expense that may trigger Tenant’s duty to indemnify, protect, and hold Landlord free and harmless, under this section. The duty to defend shall continue until a court of competent jurisdiction determines that there is no possibility that Tenant's duty to indemnify, protect, and hold Landlord free and harmless, under this section. Tenant's duty to defend shall extend to include any and all claims where Landlord's or third-party negligence is alleged. It is the intent of the parties that Tenant shall defend Landlord from the outset of any claims that Tenant could be found liable. Tenant agrees to defend such claims through counsel selected by Landlord. Tenant hereby waives any and every claim for recovery from Landlord and its successors and assigns for any and all loss of or damage to the Shopping Center or Demised Premises or to the contents thereof, which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible physical damage insurance policies, it being understood and agreed that the foregoing waiver shall also apply to the deductible under any such policy. Tenant waives any and every claim against Landlord for any and all loss of or damage to the Shopping Center or the Demised Premises or the contents thereof which would have been covered had the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant by this Lease been in force, to the extent that such loss or damage would have been recoverable under such insurance policies. In that this Tenant waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim by subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), Tenant agrees to give to its insurance company which has issued, or in the future may issue, to it policies of physical damage insurance, written notice of the terms of this Tenant waiver, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said Tenant waiver.
20. LANDLORD’S LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to the Demised Premises or its contents, regardless of the cause of such damage, for any acts or omissions of other tenants of the Shopping Center, nor for any condition of the Demised Premises whatsoever unless Landlord is responsible for the repair thereof, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and has failed to make such repair after written notice from Tenant of the need therefor, and expiration of a reasonable time for the making of such repair. Further Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, loss or cause of action, wherein the cause of such loss is attributable the maintenance of Landlord, where Tenant knew or should have known of the need for such maintenance and failed to notify Landlord thereof. All personal property, fixtures, goods, wares, and merchandise in or about the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center shall be and remain at Tenant's sole risk. In the event of any sale or transfer of Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises, Landlord is hereby completely released and forever discharged from and of all covenants, obligations, and liabilities hereunder. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s liability under this Lease shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Shopping Center, and any judgements rendered against Landlord shall be satisfied solely out of the proceeds of sale of Landlord’s interest in the Shopping Center.
21. DAMAGE TO REAL PROPERTY. Landlord will maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the Shopping Center. If the Shopping Center building housing the Demised Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty of the kind insured against in standard policies of fire insurance with extended coverage, or in the event that any portion of the Demised Premises shall be taken or condemned for public use, or transferred in lieu of such taking or condemnation, Landlord shall, using reasonable discretion, either repair or restore the damage or terminate this lease if: (a) the cost of repair or restoration exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and available for the repair and restoration of the Demised Premises or if Landlord’s mortgagee or the applicable governmental authorities refuse to give their approval and consent to the repair and restoration; or (b) this Lease is in the last 12 months of the term; or (c) any tenant leasing greater than 5,000 square feet of space in the Shopping Center terminates its lease as a result of damage (regardless of whether such damage affects the Demised Premises); or (d) more than 25% of the Shopping Center is damaged (regardless of whether such damage affects the Demised Premises). Any such termination shall not affect any rights accrued to Landlord because of prior defaults by Tenant. Tenant shall have no right or claim to the proceeds of any transfer in lieu of such taking or condemnation or for any portion of Landlord's condemnation award, and shall have no right or claim based on the condemnation of the Demised Premises or the improvements thereto or of Tenant's leasehold interest therein. Tenant, upon the request of any Landlord, shall execute, within 5 days after such request, any and all instruments required in order to effectuate any such condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation, in the form requested by Landlord or such public authority. In all instances of restoration, Landlord shall only be required to restore the building which houses the Demised Premises and common areas adjoining the Demised Premises, and that portion of the Demised Premises which Landlord is required to maintain pursuant to this Lease, to the condition they were in prior to the damage. Landlord shall have no responsibility to repair or restore any portion of the Demised Premises required to be insured by Tenant under this Lease and Tenant shall have 30 days after delivery of access to Tenant by Landlord to complete its rebuilding or repairing in accordance with plans to be approved by Landlord before the commencement of construction.

Landlord may also sell such property at a public or private sale, with the proceeds being applied to the costs of sale and storage, Landlord’s reasonable attorney fees, amounts owed to Landlord under this Lease, and with any surplus paid to Tenant, in that order. Tenant waives any rights to re-enter the Demised Premises and any rights of redemption; (vii) exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy it may have, which shall specifically include but not be limited to Landlord’s exercise without court proceeding of a lien on any of Tenant’s property in the Demised Premises until cure of all events of default. No re-entry or commencement of any action for re-entry by Landlord shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease nor to release Tenant from its obligations hereunder. Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive all rights to request a jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim arising out of this Lease. Tenant further waives any right to interpose any non-compulsory counterclaim, or to seek damages, other than injunctive relief, in relation to the reasonableness of Landlord’s discretion. In no event may Tenant recover any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages against or from Landlord herein, including, without limitation, any damages for or relating to any lost profit or business income. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord after default by Tenant, Tenant nevertheless shall remain liable for all Rent which may be due or damages which may be sustained prior to such termination, and all reasonable costs, fees, and expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder, and/or in connection with any bankruptcy proceedings of Tenant or Tenant's guarantor (if applicable), and/or in connection with renting the Demised Premises to others from time to time, plus additional damages which shall be an amount equal to the present value of Rent, discounted at a rate of eight percent (8%), which would have become due during the remainder of the Term.
24. LANDLORD'S INSPECTION RIGHTS. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to enter upon the Demised Premises to inspect and make repairs, install, maintain, and repair pipes or other utility lines to provide service to or for other premises located in the Shopping Center, or to bring potential purchasers, tenants, or mortgagees into the Demised Premises.
25. SUBORDINATION/ ESTOPPEL The rights of Tenant under this Lease shall be subordinate to the lien and terms and conditions of the instrument or the lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing now or hereafter in force against the real estate and/or buildings of which the Demised Premises are a part or against any buildings hereafter placed upon the real estate of which the Demised Premises are a part. In addition, if the interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises shall be transferred to and owned by the holder of any deed of trust or mortgage ("Lender") by reason of foreclosure or any other manner. Tenant shall be bound to Lender under all of the terms of the Lease, with the same force and effect as if the Lender were the original Landlord under the Lease. Tenant does hereby attorn to (a) the Lender as its Landlord when the Lender is in possession of the Demised Premises, (b) a receiver appointed in any action or proceeding to foreclose the deed of trust or mortgage, (c) any party acquiring title to the Demised Premises, and (d) any successor to Landlord; said attornment to be effective and self-operative, without the execution of any further instruments on the part of any of the parties hereto, immediately upon such successor succeeding to the interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises. The provisions of this section shall be self-operative. Tenant, however, upon the request of any Lender or Landlord, shall execute, within 5 days after such request, instruments in confirmation of the foregoing provisions in the form requested by any such Lender or Landlord. Additionally, Tenant agrees within 5 days after written request, to execute, and deliver to Landlord and/or Landlord’s designee an estoppel certificate in such form and substance as reasonably requested by Landlord, Landlord’s designee and/or lender, with customary provisions. Should Tenant fail to return the estoppel certificate then Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact to execute an estoppel certificate on Tenant’s behalf, and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for all costs and expenses, including attorney fees, related thereto.
26. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant agrees to comply with and observe the rules and regulations of the Shopping Center. Tenant's failure to keep and observe said rules and regulations shall constitute a breach of the terms of this Lease in the same manner as if such rules and regulations were contained herein as covenants.
27. HOLDING OVER. In the event that Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of this Lease for any reason, the monthly Fixed Minimum Rent shall be 2 times the monthly average Fixed Minimum Rent that was payable during the last full 12 month period of this Lease, and thereafter, in all cases, 30 days’ written notice shall be required to terminate such tenancy.
28. RELOCATION OF DEMISED PREMISES. Landlord may, upon 90 days’ prior written notice to Tenant relocate Tenant to another location within the Shopping Center and constructed at Landlord expense. If in either parties’ reasonable discretion (i) no suitable space is available, or (ii) Tenant has less than 12 months’ lease term remaining, either may terminate this Lease. In the event Tenant has been in default of this Lease, or no longer meets Landlord's financial requirements, Landlord may terminate this lease in lieu of relocation. In the event of such relocation, all references in this Lease to the "Demised Premises" shall thereafter refer to the space to which Tenant is relocated. In the event of any expansion, renovation, redevelopment or remerchandising of the Shopping Center, Landlord may require Tenant to surrender possession of all or a portion of the Demised Premises for such period of time as required for such purposes. Thereafter, any new buildings, properties, and/or common areas shall be treated as though they were originally a part of the Shopping Center, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be adjusted to reflect any changes in the total square footage of the Shopping Center.

Each of the parties agrees to indemnify the other against and hold it harmless from all liabilities arising from any such claim arising on account of its acts or omissions (including, without limitation the cost of attorney fees in connection therewith).
31. FORCE MAJEURE.

32. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS: This Lease shall be effective as of the earlier of (i) the date executed by both Landlord and Tenant or (ii) the date on which possession of the Demised Premises is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, and all terms and conditions shall be applicable even though the Term of the Lease has not yet commenced and shall be governed and construed under the laws, codes, rules, authorities, approvals, regulations, including, but not limited to, local zoning and building codes of the state in which the Shopping Center is located ('‘Governing Law”).

Each provision of this Lease shall be construed in a manner as to give it the fullest legal force and effect possible. To the extent any provision is held to be unenforceable or invalid, the unenforceability or invalidity of such provision shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this Lease. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof, or shall constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided in writing by the Landlord. In the event of any breach of this Lease, and/or any litigation between Landlord and Tenant arising out of this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees, paralegal fees, filing fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the litigation, which shall be payable on demand, and, if payable to Landlord, as Additional Rent, subject to all of Landlord’s rights and remedies provided herein.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e mail delivery of a “pdf" format data file, or by electronic signature pursuant to ESIGN or UETA, or similar laws such signature or electronic execution shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such were an original thereof. The delivery of an executed copy hereof by Tenant shall be deemed an offer only, open for acceptance by Landlord solely upon execution and delivery of this Lease Agreement by Landlord and an agreement binding on Landlord shall not be deemed formed until such execution and delivery not withstanding any reliance by Tenant on any oral or written or other statements from Landlord or any of its agents delivered via e-mail or otherwise.
