Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may immediately terminate this Lease Agreement and any of Tenant’s interests under this Agreement and may exercise all available remedies against Tenant available at law or in equity.

11.1.2

Upon termination of this Lease Agreement for an Event of Default or for any other reason with the exception of the happening of the events set forth in Section 3.2, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Rent and other amounts that would have been owing by Tenant under this Lease Agreement for the balance of the Lease Term less the proceeds, if any, from Landlord’s re-letting of the Premises subsequent to the termination after Landlord’s re-letting expenses are subtracted from the re-letting net proceeds. Such damages are calculated as follows:

Tenant Damages Owed Landlord = [Rent/Owed Amounts for Lease Balance] – [Re-Letting Net Proceeds] – [Re-Letting Expenses]

11.1.3

Upon termination of this Lease Agreement for an Event of Default or any other reason, Landlord shall be entitled to either collect damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which rent or other amounts would have been payable under this Lease Agreement or, alternatively, Landlord may accelerate Tenant’s obligations under the Lease Agreement and recover from Tenant:

11.1.3.1

unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

11.1.3.2

the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss which Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;

11.1.3.3

the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of the Lease Agreement after the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably be avoided; and

11.1.3.4

any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all proven detriment proximately caused by the Event of Default or Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease Agreement, or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result from the Event of Default including without limitation Re-Letting Expenses as defined in this Lease Agreement.

11.2

Re-Entry and Re-Letting

11.2.1

11.2.2

Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may continue this Lease Agreement in full force and effect and, without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, expel Tenant and anyone claiming through or under Tenant from the Premises, and with the exception of any of Tenant’s products remove the personal property of Tenant or anyone claiming through or under Tenant.

11.2.3

Upon an Event of Default and expulsion of Tenant and anyone claiming through or under Tenant, Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part of them in Landlord’s name for such period of time and at such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine.

11.2.4

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any re-letting or re-leasing of the Premises shall be applied as follows:

11.2.4.1

first, to pay Landlord all Re-Letting Expenses;

11.2.4.2

second, to pay any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than rent;

11.2.4.3

third, to the rent due and unpaid hereunder; and

11.2.4.4

fourth, the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of other or future obligations of Tenant to Landlord as the same may become due and payable, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any portion of such revenue.

11.2.5

Re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord under this Section shall not be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease Agreement, unless a notice of termination is given to Tenant.

11.2.6

Landlord reserves the right under this Section following any re-entry or re-letting, or both, to exercise its right to terminate the Lease Agreement.

11.2.7

Tenant will pay Landlord the Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease Agreement if repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds if any after Landlord re-lets the Premises and after deducting Landlord’s Re-Letting Expenses.

11.2.8

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if an Event of Default occurs and shall continue for twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant of written notice thereof given by Landlord, then Landlord at its option may declare the term of this Lease Agreement ended and may re-enter the Premises either with or without process of law and remove Tenant therefrom.

11.3

Costs and Attorney’s Fees

If either party engages the services of an attorney to collect monies due and owing or to bring any action for relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease Agreement, including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of Rent or other payments or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees in such action, whether in mediation or arbitration, at trial, on appeal, or in any bankruptcy or state receivership proceeding.

11.4

Tenant’s Remedies

11.4.1

Tenant’s sole remedy for a default by Landlord shall be to seek actual money damages, but not consequential or punitive damages, for any loss arising from Landlord’s default under this Lease Agreement.

11.4.2

Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Property, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease.

12.3

Bar to Constructive Waiver

12.3.1

Landlord’s failure to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the strict performances of any of the terms, conditions, agreements and covenants set forth in the respective provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any option herein conferred, shall not be considered a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such terms, conditions, agreements or covenants, or any such options, but the same shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect.

12.3.2

The failure of Landlord or Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor shall it prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation.

12.3.3

The receipt by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of such breach by Landlord unless such waiver be in writing signed by the party to be charged.

12.3.4

No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other amount then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such Rent or amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy set forth in this Lease.

12.4

12.7

Confidentiality

Tenant agrees that all terms and provisions included in this Lease are strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties. If Tenant makes any communication stating any of the terms or provisions of this Lease to any third party, it shall constitute a material breach of this Lease, and Landlord may take appropriate legal action. Nothing in this section shall limit Tenant's right to apply for specialized licensing from state, county, or municipal government or to communicate with government authorities concerning Tenant's occupation and use of the Premises. Nothing in this section shall constitute a penalty to or material breach by Tenant of this Agreement should Tenant be required by any government authority to remit to it a copy of this Leasehold to ensure compliance with applicable laws and/or to obtain licenses or permits required for Tenant to conduct the Permitted Use.
