OFFICE LEASE
Exhibit 10.1
THIS OFFICE LEASE (the "lease") made as of November 18, 2020, between XXXX PROPERTIES, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company ("Landlord"), and VBH FRANKFORT LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Tenant").
ARTICLE I
Term
(A) Premises
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain portions of the building known and designated as Xxxxx X, X & X, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx County, Kentucky (the "property"), as more particularly shown on attached Exhibit A, subject to the terms and conditions more particularly hereinafter set forth herein.
(B) Term
The term ("term") of this lease shall commence on December 1, 2020 ("commencement date") or such other date as determined by the parties as to the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements (TI) and twenty-four (24) months later ("expiration date"), unless sooner terminated as provided herein. This lease is subject to acquiring the necessary licensing from the state and local jurisdictions within three (3) months of initial occupancy. Should Tenant fail to obtain the necessary licenses within that timeframe, it shall have the option to terminate the lease but shall reimburse Landlord for all non-reimbursed direct Tenant Improvement Costs (TI) that had not been previously reimbursed.
ARTICLE II
Monthly Rent
(A) From the rent commencement date until the expiration date, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly rent of $2,365.00.
(B) All monthly rent, or prorated rent in the case of a partial month, shall be paid in advance, on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term. Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, a late fee charge of $100.00 if rent is not received within five (5) days of its due date. In addition to such charge, any rent paid more than thirty (30) days after due shall accrue interest from the due date at the rate of 12% per annum until payment is received by Landlord. Such charge and interest payments shall not be deemed consent by Landlord to late payments, nor a waiver of Landlord's right to insist upon timely payments at any time, nor a waiver of any remedies to which Landlord is entitled as a result of the late payment of rent. If the term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the rent for such fractional month shall be prorated on the basis of one-thirtieth of the monthly rent for each day of such fractional month.
1 |
(C) Rent shall be paid at the office maintained by Landlord, or any other place designated by Landlord, without any prior demand or notice therefor and shall, in all events, be paid without any deductions, set-offs, or counterclaims whatsoever.
(D) Additional Rent
Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to seventy-seven (77%) percent assessed ad valorem property taxes against the property on or before November 10th of each year.
Tenant shall also pay an amount equal to seventy-seven (77%) percent of the Landlord’s insurance carried on the real property within fourteen (14) days of Landlord submitting an invoice to the Tenant.
If the term commences other than on January 1, or ends other than on December 31, Tenant's obligations to pay taxes for such first or final calendar years shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such years included in the term.
Tenant shall be responsible for paying all personal property taxes with respect to Tenant’s personal property at the Leased Premises.
(E) Security Deposit
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, prior to the commencement of the term, the sum of $2,365.00 as security deposit.
ARTICLE III
Condition of Premises
Landlord and Tenant have agreed to share the cost equally for the TI as required by Tenant. Upon completion of the TI, tenant will inspect the premises and accepts the same "as is" without any agreements, representations, understandings, or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any further alterations, repairs, or improvements except as otherwise provided in this lease, or any warranty of habitability or representation by Landlord that the premises are fit for Tenant's intended use.
ARTICLE IV

ARTICLE VI
Alterations and Liens
(A) Alterations
Tenant shalt not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, make any additions, changes, alterations, or improvements ("alterations") to the premises, except for cosmetic changes, i.e. interior paint and wallpaper and the installation of cameras and controlled access card readers. Landlord may impose reasonable requirements as a condition of such consent including, without limitation, the submission of drawings, plans, and specifications for Landlord's prior written approval, affidavits listing all contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, affidavits from engineers acceptable to Landlord stating that the alterations will not adversely affect the systems and equipment or the structure of the property, and requirements as to the manner and times in which such alterations shall be done. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of any intent to make alterations, together with copies of the plans and specifications, if any, for such alterations. Tenant agrees that alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, as coordinated and approved by Landlord, and all materials used shall be of a quality comparable to or better than those in the premises and property and, where required, shall be in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord.
(B) No liens
Tenant shall keep the property and premises free from any mechanic's, materialman's, or similar liens or other such encumbrances in connection with any alterations on or respecting the premises and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments, or costs (including attorney fees) arising out of the same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance within fifteen (15) days after written notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for making any investigation as to the validity thereof, and the amount so paid shall be deemed additional rent reserved under this lease due and payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this lease. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the property or premises arising in connection with any alterations on or respecting the premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord, shall be null and void, or at Landlord's option shall attach only against Tenant's interest in the premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's title to the property and premises.

ARTICLE VII
Repairs and Maintenance
(A) Tenant's obligations
Tenant shall keep and maintain the premises (including, without limitation, ceilings, walls, carpet, doors, interior glass, light fixtures and bulbs, keys and locks, fire extinguishers, plumbing and other fixtures, alterations and improvements whether installed by Landlord or Tenant) in good order and sanitary condition, and make all repairs caused by its negligence, misfeasance, or malfeasance or by its use of the premises or any part thereof and commit no waste on the premises or the property.
Additionally, Tenant shall be responsible for its prorated share of the cleaning of the parking lot and drive aisles and snow and ice removal.

In addition, Landlord shall be responsible for all ADA compliance matters related to the building.
ARTICLE VIII
Casualty Damage
(A) Restoration of damage
If the premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord. In such event and within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such casualty, Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense, commence to restore the premises and thereafter diligently complete such restoration. Such repair shall substantially restore the condition of the premises prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws, and except that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any of Tenant's furniture, furnishings, fixtures, or equipment. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or their visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except that Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of rent during the time and to the extent the premises are unfit for occupancy, and not occupied by Tenant as a result of such damages.
(B) Termination of lease for substantial damage
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event the property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after the fire or other casualty, and within fifteen (15) days after such notice, Landlord or Tenant may at either's option, terminate, without liability to the other party, this lease by giving notice to the other of such termination in the event that any of the following conditions occur:
4 |
(1) In Landlord's reasonable opinion, repairs cannot be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after being commenced without the payment of overtime or other premiums;
(2) In Landlord's reasonable opinion, more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the rentable area of the property is damaged to any material extent (which shall include damage by smoke or water) whether or not the premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other casualty;
(3) The damage is not covered by Landlord's insurance policies.
In the event said notice to terminate is not given, Landlord agrees to complete the required repairs and the restoration, replacement, and rebuilding of the property, subject to unavoidable delay, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such casualty. Upon failure of Landlord to complete such work on or before such completion date as the same may be thus extended, Tenant may, at their option, cancel this lease by written notice to Landlord.
ARTICLE IX
Insurance, Subrogation, and Waiver of Claims
(A) Tenant's insurance
Tenant shall maintain during the term comprehensive public liability insurance, with limits of not less than $2,000,000 for personal injury, bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death and $1,000,000 for damage or injury to or destruction of property (including the loss of use thereof for any one occurrence.) Tenant shall also maintain during the term primary, noncontributory "all-risk" casualty insurance on their personal property, fixtures, and improvements and other insurable personal property and risks in amounts not less than the full insurable replacement value of such property and full insurable value of such other interests of Tenant.
Prior to the commencement dates, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates evidencing such coverage (and, with respect to public liability coverage, showing Landlord as an additional named insured). These certificates shall state that such insurance coverage may not be changed or canceled without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord, and shall provide renewal certificates to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of such policies. If Tenant exercises their renewal option, Landlord and Tenant shall meet to discuss whether Tenant's insurance coverage should be increased. Any insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the property or premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under their sole control. All insurance required hereunder shall be provided by insurers rated at least A in Best's Insurance Guide who are licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

ARTICLE X
Condemnation
(A) Condemnation proceeds to Landlord
If the whole or any part of the premises or property shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken, condemned, reconfigured, or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction, or remodeling of any part of the premises or property, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this lease on thirty (30) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed, or other instrument. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith ("condemnation proceeds") without any payment to Tenant and Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord its interest in such award or payment, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the term, and for moving expenses (so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any holder, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant). All rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the premises shall be taken and this lease shall not be so terminated, the rent shall be proportionately abated.
ARTICLE XI
Return of Possession
(A) Surrender of possession
At the termination of this lease by lapse of time or otherwise or upon termination of Tenant's right of possession, whichever shall first occur, Tenant shall surrender possession of the premises and all keys therefor to Landlord. In such event, Tenant shall return the premises and all additions, changes, alterations, improvements, and fixtures in as good an order and condition as when received except for ordinary wear and tear, Landlord's repair obligation, and casualty. All obligations of either party arising during or attributable to the period ending on or before expiration or earlier termination of this lease, and all terms and conditions expressly pertaining to obligations of either party upon or following such expiration or earlier termination, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article XI, shall survive such expiration or earlier termination.
(B) Removal of trade fixtures
Tenant shall remove Tenant's trade fixtures and personal property, including, without limitation, furniture, machinery, equipment, and safes, prior to the end of the term or within ten (10) days following termination of Tenant's right of possession of the premises, whichever shall first occur. All additions, changes, alterations, improvements, and fixtures (except such trade fixtures and personal property belonging to Tenant) in or upon the premises, whether installed by Tenant or Landlord, shall be Landlord's property and shall remain upon the premises, all without compensation, allowance, or credit to Tenant.
6 |
(C) Landlord may perform Tenant's duty to remove
If Tenant shall fail to perform any repairs or restoration or fail to remove any items from the premises as required hereunder, Landlord may do so, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof upon demand. All property removed from the premises by Landlord pursuant to any provisions of this lease or any law may be handled or stored by the Landlord at the cost and expense of the Tenant; Landlord shall, in no event, be responsible for the value, preservation, or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord in such handling and storage, including Landlord's reasonable storage charges for so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or under Landlord's control. All property not removed from the premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the term, or termination of Tenant's right to possession, whichever shall first occur, shall, at Landlord's option, be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as by xxxx of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Landlord shall have a lien against such property for the costs incurred in removing and storing the same.
ARTICLE XII
Holding Over
Should Tenant retain possession of the premises or any part thereof after the termination of this lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall be deemed to be a Tenant from month to month only and subject to all other terms and conditions of this lease, except that monthly rent may be increased. If such holding over shall not have been with Landlord's express written consent, Tenant shall also pay all damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof. The foregoing provisions shall not serve to extend the term (although Tenant shall remain bound to comply with all provisions of this lease until Tenant vacates the premises), and Landlord may freely pursue any right of re-entry without further notice.
ARTICLE XIII
Waiver
No provision of this lease will be deemed waived by either party unless expressly waived in a writing signed by the waiving party. No waiver shall be implied by delay or any other act or omission of either party. No waiver by either party of any provision of this lease shall be deemed a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent matter relating to such provision; Landlord's consent or approval respecting any action by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for obtaining Landlord's consent or approval respecting any subsequent such action. Subsequent acceptance of rent or any other amounts by Landlord or his employees or agents shall not reinstate or extend the term or Tenant's right to possession after termination of either of the same and shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or condition of this lease, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such breach at the time such rent is accepted. The acceptance of rent, or of the performance of any other term or condition by any person other than Tenant, including any transferee, shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to approve any transfer.
7 |
ARTICLE XIV
Attorney Fees
In the event of any litigation between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable attorney fees, costs, and expenses of the prevailing party incurred in connection with such litigation, except as may be limited by applicable law.
ARTICLE XV

ARTICLE XVIII
Landlord's Remedies
(A) Default
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a "default" by Tenant, which, if not cured within any applicable time permitted for cure below, shall give rise to Landlord's remedies set forth in paragraph (B):
(1) Failure by Tenant to make, when due, any payment of rent, unless such failure is cured within seven (7) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant;
(2) Failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the terms or conditions of this lease to be observed or performed by Tenant other than the payment of rent, or as provided below, unless such failure is cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant sufficiently describing such failure to enable Tenant to determine an appropriate cure;
(3) Abandonment of the premises, or vacation of all or a substantial portion of the premises, for more than ten (10) consecutive days, without Landlord's written consent;
(4) Any of the following conditions:
(a) Making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(b) Filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days);
(c) Appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located on the premises or of Tenant's interest in this lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days;
(d) Attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located on the premises or of Tenant's interest in this lease;
(e) Tenant's convening of a meeting of its creditors or any class thereof for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts;
(f) Tenant's insolvency or admission of an inability to pay its debts as they mature.
The notice and cure periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice and cure period provided by law.
11 |
(B) Remedies
If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable time permitted under paragraph (A), Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies allowed by law, including the right, without notice, to re-enter the premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representative of Tenant or other occupant of the premises by summary proceedings or otherwise and remove their effects and hold the premises as if this lease had not been made; Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end. If Tenant shall make default hereunder prior to the date fixed as the commencement of any extension of the term of this lease, and shall fail to cure such default within the time provided therefor and Landlord shall thereby become entitled to and shall terminate this lease or reenter and dispossess Tenant, then Landlord may cancel and terminate such extension by written notice. Tenant further agrees that in case of any termination caused by a default of the Tenant, Tenant will indemnify Landlord against all loss of rents and other damage which Landlord may incur by reason of such termination, including, but not limited to, costs of restoring and repairing the premises and putting the same into rentable condition, loss or diminution of rents and other damage which Landlord may incur by reason of such termination, and, to the extent permitted under the then applicable law, all reasonable attorney fees and expenses incurred in enforcing any of the terms of this lease or any other rights or remedies of Landlord. Neither acceptance of rent by Landlord, with or without knowledge of breach, nor failure of Landlord to take action on account of any breach hereof or to enforce his rights hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any breach. Absent written notice or consent, said breach shall be a continuing one. The words "re-enter" and "reentry" as used in this lease are not restricted to their technical legal meaning. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights to recover or regain possession of the premises or to reinstate or to redeem this lease as permitted or provided by or under any statute, law, or decision now or hereafter in force and effect.
(C) Other matters
No re-entry or repossession, repairs, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, acceptance of keys from Tenant, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this lease or accept a surrender of the premises, nor shall the same operate to release the Tenant, in whole or in part, from any of the Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord or his agent to Tenant. Notices sent pursuant to this article shall be in lieu of any notices required by law. The times set forth herein for the curing of defaults by Tenant and Landlord are of the essence of this lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this lease.
ARTICLE XIX
Right To Cure
(A) Default by Landlord
If Landlord shall fail to perform any term or condition under this lease required to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder nor subject to any claims for damages of any kind, unless such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord sufficiently describing such failure to enable Landlord to determine an appropriate cure.
12 |
(B) Extended period to cure default
The aforementioned periods of time permitted for Landlord to cure and the periods of time permitted for Tenant to cure hereunder shall be extended if the default cannot be cured within the time period allowed herein, except as to the payment of rent, so long as such party is diligently and continuously attempting to cure. The cure periods shall also be extended for any period of time during which the defaulting party is delayed in, or prevented from, curing due to fire or other casualty, or acts of God, strikes, lockouts, or other labor troubles, shortages of labor or other personnel, shortages of equipment or materials, power shortages or outages, enactment, adoption, or promulgation of new laws, or the application or enforcement of laws, conflicts or other difficulties in scheduling work or other matters, acts, or omissions by the defaulting party or other persons, and other causes beyond the defaulting party's reasonable control, provided that the defaulting party commences to cure such failure to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no extended period in which to cure a monetary default.
(C) Failure to cure
If Landlord or Tenant shall fail to cure within the times permitted for cure herein, Landlord and Tenant, respectively, shall be subject to such claims for damages and remedies as may be available (subject to the other provisions of this lease), provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right of self-help to perform repairs or any other obligation of Landlord, and shall have no right to withhold, set-off, or xxxxx rent.
ARTICLE XX
Captions, Severability, and Definitions
(A) Captions
The captions of the articles and paragraphs of this lease are for convenience and easy reference only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of construction.
(B) Severability
If any provision of this lease shall be found invalid, void, illegal, or unenforceable with respect to any particular person by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall in no way affect, impair, or invalidate any other provisions hereof, or its enforceability with respect to any other person, the parties hereto agreeing that they would have entered into the remaining portion of this lease notwithstanding the omission of the portion or portions adjudged invalid, void, illegal, or unenforceable with respect to such person.

Conveyance by Landlord and Liability
(A) Conveyance by Landlord
In case Landlord or any successor owner of the property or the building shall convey or otherwise dispose of any portion thereof in which the premises are located to another person (and nothing herein shall be construed to restrict or prevent such conveyance or disposition), such other person shall, thereupon, be and become Landlord hereunder and shall be deemed to have fully assumed and be liable for all obligations of this lease to be performed by Landlord which first arise after the date of conveyance.

The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord's operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration, or any other matter relating to the property or the premises shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the property. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the property for the recovery of any judgment against Landlord; Landlord shall not be personally liable for any such judgment or deficiency after execution thereon. The limitations of liability contained in this article shall apply equally and inure to the benefit of Landlord, and his respective, present, and future beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents, and employees, and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns. The limitation on Landlord's liability contained in this article shall be effective only if Landlord's "equity interest" in the property is not less than 20% of the fair market value of the property. For purposes hereof, "equity interest" shall mean the fair market value of the property less the amount of any mortgage.
