Section 2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Payment of Principal and Interest.
(i) Except as set forth in Section 2.2.1(ii), interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount as set forth in the Note.
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after the Maturity Date if the entire then outstanding balance of the Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity Date, interest on the outstanding Principal Amount and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that portion thereof that is then due). This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, and Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default.
2.2.2 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest accruing pursuant to the Note for the entire Interest Period during which said Payment Date shall occur.
22
(b) All amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, other than the Principal Amount, together with any interest at the Default Rate or other charges as provided therein, shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in the Loan Documents. In the event any such advance or charge is not so repaid by Borrower, Lender may, at its option, first apply any payments received under the Note to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or other charges as provided in the Loan Documents, and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal then due and payable.
(c) The Maturity Date Payment shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
2.2.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than the outstanding Principal Amount due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on or before the applicable Monthly Payment Grace Period Expiration Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the Late Payment Charge) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Principal Amount of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Principal Amount due under the Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Applicable Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due under the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

23
only on the next occurring Payment Date together with all unpaid interest thereon as calculated through the end of the Interest Period ending immediately prior to such Payment Date, and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, interest that has accrued at the Default Rate and any Late Payment Charges, (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and (c) Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Indebtedness, an amount equal to the Liquidated Damages Amount.

Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon (i) payment in full of the Principal Amount and any accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement or (ii) a Defeasance Event as provided in Section 2.3.4 below, release the Lien of the Security Instrument and Assignment of Leases on the Property or assign it (together with the Note), in whole or in part, to a new lender without representation, warranty or recourse. In such event, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such release or assignment, a release of lien or assignment of lien, as applicable, for such property for execution by Lender (a release in the context of a Defeasance Event shall be effectuated as provided in Section 2.3.4 below).

(ix) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or instruments as a prudent lender would reasonably require; and
(x) Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including (A) any costs and expenses associated with a release (in full or in part, as applicable) of the Lien of the Security Instrument as provided in Section 2.3.3 hereof, (B) reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, (C) the costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies, and (D) any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note, or otherwise required to accomplish the defeasance.

Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Collateral may be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of

(d) Borrower may at its option, or if so required by the applicable Rating Agencies shall, establish or designate a successor entity (the Successor Borrower) which shall be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity approved by the Rating Agencies with one (1) Independent Director, and Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of and released from its obligations under such documents.

44
(a) Borrower shall execute and acknowledge (or cause to be executed and acknowledged) and deliver to Lender all documents, and take all actions, reasonably required by Lender from time to time to confirm the rights created or intended to be created under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any security interest created or purported to be created thereunder, to protect and further the validity, priority and enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to subject to the Loan Documents any property of Borrower intended by the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents to be encumbered by the Loan Documents, or to otherwise carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Borrower agrees that it shall upon request, reasonably cooperate with Lender, at Borrower’s expense, in connection with any request by Lender to sever the Note into two (2) or more separate substitute notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding Principal Amount and to reapportion the Loan among such separate substitute notes, including, without limitation, by executing and delivering to Lender new substitute notes to replace the Note, amendments to or replacements of existing Loan Documents to reflect such severance and/or Opinions of Counsel with respect to such substitute notes, amendments and/or replacements.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall have the right to change the Payment Date, provided each substitute note, amendment or replacement has the same Payment Date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply payment of all sums due under such substitute notes in such order and priority as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Borrower further agrees that if Lender desires to “re-size” the Loan by decreasing the Principal Amount of the Loan and creating one or more mezzanine loans in a corresponding amount, then (i) the Borrower shall take all actions provided for in the documentation for the Loan as are necessary to effect the “re-sizing” of the Loan and creation of the mezzanine loan(s), and (ii) Lender shall on the date of the “re-sizing” of the Loan lend to the mezzanine borrower (by way of a reallocation of the Principal Amount of the Loan to the mezzanine loan) such additional amount as shall be required by the Loan documentation in connection with the “re-sizing” provided that Borrower and mezzanine borrower execute and deliver any and all necessary amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents and the mezzanine loan documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event of, and as a condition to, any “re-sizing” of the Loan as described above, Lender agrees that (i) the maturity date of any resized Loan and the mezzanine loan(s), if any, shall be the same as the scheduled Maturity Date of the Note immediately prior to such resizing, (ii) the weighted average interest rate for the resized Loan and the mezzanine loan(s), if any, shall not exceed the weighted interest rate for the Loan immediately prior to such resizing, (iii) the economics of the combined Loan (including, without limitation, the period of time between Payment Date and the
45
end of the Interest Period), taken as a whole, shall not change in a manner which is adverse to Borrower taken as a whole, and (iv) Borrower’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents in effect immediately prior to such resizing shall not change in any manner adverse to Borrower taken as a whole.
(c) Lender shall reimburse Borrower for any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its compliance with any resizing or reallocation (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, title insurance premiums, UCC insurance premiums and reasonable attorney fees and expenses) pursuant to Section 5.1.11(a) and (b); provided, however, Borrower shall pay all costs, expenses, legal fees, and disbursements (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, title insurance premiums, and UCC insurance premiums) incurred by Borrower or Lender with respect to the first reallocation or resizing pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 14.2, or Section 5.1.11 (a) and (b) hereof.
(d) In addition, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense:
(i) furnish to Lender, to the extent not otherwise already furnished to Lender and reasonably acceptable to Lender, all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument to the extent required to be furnished by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;
(ii) execute and deliver, from time to time, such further instruments (including, without limitation, delivery of any financing statements under the UCC) as may be reasonably requested by Lender to confirm the security interests granted hereunder and the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, which financing statements may identify the collateral covered thereby as “all assets” and/or “all personal property” of Borrower; and
(iii) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such further acts necessary to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, or for the carrying out of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Lender may reasonably require from time to time.

VI. INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION: RESTORATION
Section 6.1 Insurance Coverage Requirements. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in full force and effect insurance coverage of the types and minimum limits as follows during the term of this Agreement:
6.1.1 Property Insurance. Insurance against loss customarily included under so called “All Risk” policies including flood (as required by Section 6.1.7), earthquake (if applicable), vandalism, and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery, and such other insurable hazards as, under good insurance practices, from time to time are insured against for other property and buildings similar to the Improvements and Building Equipment in nature, use, location, height, and type of construction. Such insurance policy shall also insure the additional expense of demolition and if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, provide coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. The amount of such “All Risk” insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost value of the Improvements and the Building Equipment. Each such insurance policy shall contain an agreed amount (coinsurance waiver) and replacement cost value endorsement and shall cover all tenant improvements and betterments which Borrower is required to insure in accordance with any Lease. Lender shall be named “Loss Payee” on a “Standard Mortgagee Endorsement” and be provided not less than thirty (30) days advance notice of change in coverage, cancellation or non-renewal.
6.1.2 Liability Insurance. “General Public Liability” insurance, including, without limitation, “Commercial General Liability” insurance; “Owned” (if any), “Hired” and “Non Owned Auto Liability”; and “Umbrella Liability” coverage for “Personal Injury”, “Bodily Injury”, “Death, Accident and Property Damage”, providing in combination no less than $100,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate. The policies described in this paragraph shall cover, subject to the policy terms and conditions: elevators, escalators, acts of independent contractors, “Contractual Liability” (covering Borrower’s obligation to indemnify
51
Lender as required under this Agreement, and shall provide “Products and Completed Operations Liability” coverage). All public liability insurance shall name Lender as “Additional Insured” either on a specific endorsement or under a blanket endorsement satisfactory to Lender.
6.1.3 Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Workers compensation and disability insurance as required by law.
6.1.4 Commercial Rents Insurance. “Commercial Rents” insurance in an amount sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and to provide proceeds which will cover the actual loss of rents sustained due to the necessary suspension of operations following a covered casualty and continuing until the date when the Property should be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced with reasonable speed and similar quality, plus a 12-month extended period of indemnity, not to exceed policy limits. Such policies of insurance shall be subject only to exclusions that are acceptable to Lender and, if the Loan is the subject of a Securitization, the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that such exclusions are reasonably consistent with those required for loans similar to the Loan provided herein. Such insurance shall be deemed to include “loss of rental value” insurance where applicable. The term “rental value” means the sum of (A) the total then ascertainable Rents payable under the Leases and (B) the total ascertainable amount of all other amounts to be received by Borrower from third parties which are the legal obligation of Tenants, reduced to the extent such amounts would not be received because of operating, non-continuing or variable expenses not incurred during a period of non-occupancy of that portion of Property then not being occupied.
6.1.5 Builder’s All-Risk Insurance. During any period of repair or restoration, builder’s “All-Risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Property against such risks (including so called “All Risk” perils coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender). Such policy shall include coverage for delay in completion caused by an insured peril in the Builder’s “All Risk” insurance in an amount sufficient to cover twelve (12) months of Debt Service and carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property including real estate taxes and insurance.
6.1.6 Boiler and Machinery Insurance. Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to any Lease on a replacement cost basis. The minimum amount of limits to be provided shall be $10,000,000 per accident.
6.1.7 Flood Insurance: Windstorm Insurance.
(a) If any portion of the Improvements is located within an area designated as “flood prone” or a “special flood hazard area” (as defined under the regulations adopted under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973) (any such area, a SFHA), flood insurance shall be provided, in an amount not less than the maximum limit of coverage available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan with respect to the Property. Excess flood insurance coverage shall be required to compensate for any damage or loss in an amount up to 10% of the subject Property insurable value plus annual business
52
interruption value in a total amount not required to exceed $10,000,000 and shall include business interruption coverage for at least twelve (12) months provided that such coverage is commercially available. Unless a higher amount is required by FEMA or other law, the maximum deductible clause shall be no greater than $5,000 per building. Lender reserves the right to require flood insurance in excess of that available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan with a deductible no greater than 5% of the total insurable value, subject to a minimum of $1,000,000. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a FEMA Elevation Certification prepared by a surveyor if any portion of the Improvements is located in flood zones A, AR, or V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to maintain the flood insurance required by this Section 6.1.7 if (a) the Improvements are not located within a SFHA, notwithstanding that a portion of the Property may be so located or (b) there is a “Letter of Map Amendment” (LOMA) from FEMA stating that the Property is no longer located within a SFHA. If the Improvements have been constructed above the flood level, as evidenced by a FEMA Elevation Certification, Borrower may apply to the appropriate FEMA regional office for a LOMA and, upon receipt thereof, Borrower shall no longer be required to maintain the flood insurance required by this Section 6.1.7.
(b) If the Property is in an area prone to hurricanes and windstorms, as reasonably determined by Lender, Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially available, windstorm insurance (including coverage for windstorm, cyclone, hurricane or tornado (including rain or wind driven rain which enters the covered building or structure through an opening created by the force of windstorm)) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the replacement cost value of the Improvements and the Building Equipment, with a maximum deductible no greater than ten percent (10%) of the insured amount, plus business interruption coverage for at least eighteen (18) months, and (ii) the Principal Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after a full Securitization of the Loan, Borrower shall be permitted to reduce the insurance coverages or increase the maximum deductible set forth in this Section 6.1.8(b), provided (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Borrower obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation.
6.1.8 Earthquake and Environmental Insurance; Other Insurance.
(a) Earthquake insurance in an amount equal to the “Probable Maximum Loss” (PML) or a similar determination for the Property, conducted by a seismic engineering company satisfactory to Lender. If requested by Borrower, Lender will consider permitting earthquake insurance for less than the PML, in Lender’s sole discretion.
(b) At Lender’s reasonable request, such other insurance with respect to the Property against loss or damage of the kinds from time to time customarily insured against and in such amounts as are generally required by institutional lenders on loans of similar amounts and secured by properties comparable to, and in the general vicinity of, the Property.
6.1.9 Terrorism Insurance. Provided that insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorism (Terrorism Insurance) is either (i) commercially available and such rates and terms are consistent with those paid in respect of comparable properties in comparable locations that are subject to CMBS financings or (ii) Lender or Servicer reasonably determines
53
that either (a) prudent owners of real estate that are subject to CMBS financings and that are comparable to the Property are maintaining Terrorism Insurance, or (b) prudent lenders (including, without limitation, investment banks or servicers) are requiring Terrorism Insurance, Borrower shall be required to carry Terrorism Insurance for both certified and non-certified acts of terrorism, provided, however, the amount that Borrower shall be required to pay for Terrorism Insurance shall not exceed $30,000, which amount shall be increased annually during the term of the Loan by an annual CPI-factor. Terrorism insurance coverage may be provided under a blanket policy.
6.1.10 Ratings of Insurers. Borrower will maintain the insurance coverage described in (i) Section 6.1.1 through Section 6.1.7 and Section 6.1.9 above, in all cases, with one or more domestic primary insurers reasonably acceptable to Lender, having claims-paying-ability rating of “A” or better, and (ii) Section 6.1.8 above with one or more domestic primary insurers reasonably acceptable to Lender, having claims paying-ability rating of “A-VIII” or better by A.M. Best; provided that, as long as all insurance companies providing the “primary layer” of coverage maintain an S&P claims paying ability rating of “A” or better, Borrower may obtain insurance in a layered program in compliance with the S&P guidelines which allow up to forty percent (40%) (in the event of a syndicate of five (5) or more carriers) or twenty-five percent (25%) (in the event of a syndicate of four (4) or fewer carriers) of the carriers providing the other layers of coverage to maintain an S&P claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better (or the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one of which will be Moody’s if they are rating the Securities); provided, however, a lesser claims paying ability rating shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings assigned, or to be assigned, to the Securities or any class thereof in any Securitization. All insurers providing insurance required by this Agreement shall be authorized to issue insurance in the State.
6.1.11 Form of Insurance Policies; Endorsements. All insurance policies shall be in such form and with such endorsements as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender. A certificate of insurance with respect to all of the above-mentioned insurance policies has been delivered to Lender and originals or certified copies of all such policies shall be delivered to Lender upon Lender’s request when the same are available (but no later than ninety (90) days after the date hereof) and shall be held by Lender. For renewal periods policies may be requested and they shall be delivered when available but no later than ninety (90) days after the renewal date. Commercial General Liability policies shall name Lender as an additional insured. To the extent such language is granted in a standard ISO policy or standard loss payable provision, the property insurance policies shall provide that all Proceeds (except with respect to Proceeds of general liability and workers’ compensation insurance) be payable to Lender as and to the extent set forth in Section 6.2. Property insurance shall include (i) a standard “mortgagee” endorsement (form CP1218 or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower); (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Lender; (iii) an endorsement providing that no policy shall be impaired or invalidated by virtue of any act, failure to act, negligence of, or violation of declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy by Borrower, Lender or any other named insured, additional insured or loss payee, except for the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy; (iv) an endorsement providing for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent
54
owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender; and (v) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled, terminated or expire without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender. Lender at its option, shall be permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums. In the event any insurance policy (except for general public and other liability and workers compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
6.1.12 Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Lender annually, concurrently with the renewal of the insurance policies required hereunder, a certificate from Borrower’s insurance agent stating that the insurance policies required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1 are maintained with insurers who comply with the terms of Section 6.1.9, setting forth a schedule describing all premiums required to be paid by Borrower to maintain the policies of insurance required under this Section 6.1, and stating that Borrower has paid such premiums. Copies of certificates of insurance with respect to all replacement policies shall be delivered to Lender prior to the expiration date of any of the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder which certificates shall bear notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums. Borrower shall deliver to Lender original certificates of such replacement insurance policies within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof and upon request from Lender deliver originals (or certified copies) of such policies to Lender when available but not more than ninety (90) days after the effective date thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the certificates of insurance and certified copies or originals required by this Agreement, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may procure such insurance, and all costs thereof (and interest thereon at the Default Rate) shall be added to the Indebtedness. Lender shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect thereto.
6.1.13 Separate Insurance. Borrower will not take out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 6.1 unless such insurance complies with this Section 6.1.
6.1.14 Blanket Policies. The insurance coverage required under Section 6.1 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the Property (a Blanket Policy); provided that any such Blanket Policy shall specify, except in the case of public liability and earthquake insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Property, and any sublimits in such Blanket Policy applicable to the Property, which amounts shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to Section 6.1 and which shall in any case comply in all other respects
55
with the requirements of this Section 6.1. Lender shall have the right to increase the amount required to be deposited into the Insurance Reserve Account in an amount sufficient to purchase a non-blanket policy covering the applicable Property or Properties from insurance companies which qualify under this Agreement. Upon Lender’s request, and subject to Lender signing Borrower’s nondisclosure agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the number of properties covered by such policy, (ii) the location by city (if available, otherwise, county) and state of the properties, (iii) the average square footage of the properties (or the aggregate square footage), (iv) a brief description of the typical construction type included in the blanket policy and (v) such other information as Lender may reasonably request.
Section 6.2 Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds.
6.2.1 Notification. Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing upon obtaining knowledge of (i) the institution of any proceedings relating to any Taking (whether material or immaterial) of, or (ii) the occurrence of any casualty, damage or injury to, the Property or any portion thereof, the restoration of which is estimated by Borrower in good faith to cost more than the Casualty Amount. In addition, each such notice shall set forth such good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such casualty, damage, injury or Taking in reasonable detail if the same is then available and, if not, as soon thereafter as it can reasonably be provided.
6.2.2 Proceeds. In the event of any Taking of or any casualty or other damage or injury to the Property, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, causes and rights of action (whether accrued prior to or after the date hereof) and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Property or any part thereof other than payments received in connection with any liability or loss of rental value or business interruption insurance (collectively, Proceeds), in connection with any such Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property or any part thereof are hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender and, except as otherwise herein provided, shall be paid to the Lender. Borrower will, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s right to receive the direct payment of any Proceeds as herein provided, will cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may settle any insurance claim with respect to Proceeds which does not exceed the Casualty Amount. Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any settlement which is likely to result in any Proceeds in excess of the Casualty Amount and Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval. Borrower will pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to the extent not paid within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a written request for reimbursement by Lender, in connection with the settlement of any claim for Proceeds and seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with
56
the foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Work as and when such payment is due and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, and in the event such Proceeds exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and held by Lender in trust for Borrower, in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Section 6.2. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file and/or prosecute any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.2). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, however, and excluding situations requiring prepayment of the Note, to the extent any Proceeds (either singly or when aggregated with all other then unapplied Proceeds with respect to the Property) do not exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Borrower to be applied to restoration the Property in accordance with the terms hereof.
6.2.3 Lender to Take Proceeds Lender shall promptly disburse to Borrower any Proceeds received which are less than the Casualty Amount, provided that (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and satisfactorily complete the restoration; notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Proceeds shall equal or exceed the Principal Amount, (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall have occurred, (iv) the Work is not capable of being completed before the earlier to occur of the date which is six (6) months prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which the business interruption insurance carried by Borrower with respect to the Property shall expire (the Cut-Off Date), unless on or prior to the Cut-Off Date the Borrower (x) shall deliver to the Lender and there shall remain in effect a binding written offer of an Approved Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank reasonably satisfactory to Lender duly authorized to originate loans secured by real property located in the State for a loan from such Approved Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank to the Borrower in a principal amount of not less than the Principal Amount and which shall, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, enable the Borrower to refinance the Loan prior to the Maturity Date and (y) if a Securitization shall have occurred, shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation, or (v) the Property is not capable of being restored substantially to its condition prior to such Taking or casualty and such incapacity shall have a Material Adverse Effect, then in any case, all Proceeds shall be paid over to Lender (if not paid directly to Lender).
6.2.4 Borrower to Restore.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, promptly after the occurrence of any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Property or a Taking of a portion of the Property which does not constitute a Total Loss, Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be commenced and diligently prosecuted, to completion, subject to Excusable Delays, the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Property (in the case of a partial
57
Taking, to the extent it is capable of being restored) so damaged, destroyed or remaining after such Taking in full compliance with all material Legal Requirements and free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances (such repair, restoration and rebuilding are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the Work). The plans and specifications shall require that the Work be done in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character prior to the damage or destruction (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Taking, the restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Taking), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to any partial Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property, if the Work actually performed, if any, or failed to be performed, shall have no Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property from the value that the Property would have had if the same had been restored to its condition immediately prior to such Taking or casualty. Subject to Borrower’s rights pursuant to Section 2.3.3 to cause the Property to be released from the Lien of the Security Instrument, Borrower shall be obligated to restore the Property suffering a casualty or which has been subject to a partial Taking in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 whether or not the Proceeds shall be sufficient, provided that, if applicable, the Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower by Lender in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) If Proceeds are not required to be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to the terms hereof, then Lender shall make the Proceeds which it is holding pursuant to the terms hereof (after payment of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with the collection thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate (from the date written request for reimbursement is made through the date of reimbursement) to the extent the same are not paid within ten (10) Business Days after written request for reimbursement by Lender) available to Borrower for payment of or reimbursement of Borrower’s or the applicable Tenant’s expenses incurred with respect to the Work, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) below and in Section 6.2.5:
(i) at the time of loss or damage or at any time thereafter while Borrower is holding any portion of the Proceeds, there shall be no continuing Event of Default;
(ii) if, at any time, the estimated cost of the Work (as estimated by the Independent Architect referred to in clause (iii) below) shall exceed the Proceeds (a Deficiency), Borrower shall, at its option (within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such estimate) either deposit with or deliver to Lender (and, if a Securitization shall have occurred, promptly following any such deposit or delivery, Borrower shall provide written notice of same to the Rating Agencies) (A) Cash and Cash Equivalents, (B) a Letter or Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the Work less the Proceeds available (deposits under clauses (A) or (B) (Deficiency Collateral)), or (C) such other evidence of Borrower’s ability to meet such excess costs and which is reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies; for so long as a Deficiency shall exist, Lender shall not be required to make any Proceeds disbursement to Borrower, provided it shall, if requested by Borrower, make the Deficiency Collateral available to Borrower for payment of the cost of the Work in accordance with this Section and any portion
58
of any Deficiency Collateral not applied to the Work shall be promptly delivered to Borrower upon completion of the Work in accordance with the terms hereof;
(iii) Each of Lender and the Independent Architect shall have reasonably approved the plans and specifications for the Work and any change orders in connection with such plans and specifications; and
(iv) Lender shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to any request for initial disbursement, be furnished with an estimate of the cost of the Work accompanied by an Independent Architect’s certification as to such costs and appropriate plans and specifications for the Work. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements including zoning, environmental and building laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.
6.2.5 Disbursement of Proceeds.
(a) Disbursements of the Proceeds in excess of the Casualty Amount in Cash or Cash Equivalents to Borrower hereunder shall be made from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any month) by Lender but only for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as the Work progresses upon receipt by Lender of (i) a Borrower’s Certificate dated not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the application for such payment, requesting such payment or reimbursement and describing the Work performed that is the subject of such request, the parties that performed such Work and the actual cost thereof, and also certifying that such Work and materials for which payment is sought are or, upon disbursement of the payment requested to the parties entitled thereto, will be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with the Work to which such request relates (except to the extent that they are to be paid out of the requested disbursement) have been installed or completed and have been paid in full or will be paid in full from such disbursement to the extent of such disbursement request and (B) there exists no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s liens or notices of intention to file same (unless the same is required by State law as a condition to the payment of a contractor) or any liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Work which have not been either fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender or discharged of record or in the alternative, fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company that issued the Title Policy and (iii) an Independent Architect’s certificate certifying performance of the Work together with an estimate of the cost to complete the Work. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Work, as certified by the Independent Architect, except for payment made to contractors whose Work shall have been fully completed and from which final lien waivers have been received, shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the Work performed and materials furnished and incorporated into the Improvements from time to time, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds together with all amounts deposited, bonded, guaranteed or otherwise provided for pursuant to Section 6.2.4(b)) above, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the estimated cost of completion of the Work; final payment of all Proceeds remaining with Lender shall be made upon receipt by Lender of a certification by Borrower (or, if requested by Lender) an Independent Architect, as to the completion of the Work substantially in accordance with the submitted plans and specifications, final lien releases, and, to the extent applicable under the
59
laws of the State, the filing of a notice of completion and the expiration of the period provided under the law of the State for the filing of mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens, as certified pursuant to a Borrower’s Certificate, and delivery of a temporary certificate of occupancy with respect to the Work, or, if not applicable, a Borrower’s Certificate to the effect that a certificate of occupancy is not required.
(b) If, after the Work is completed and all costs of completion have been paid, there are excess Proceeds, such excess Proceeds shall be paid over to Borrower.
VII. IMPOSITIONS, OTHER CHARGES, LIENS AND OTHER ITEMS
Section 7.1 Borrower to Pay Impositions and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Impositions now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof and shall pay all Other Charges on or before the date they are due. Borrower shall deliver to Lender (i) prior to the due date for such Impositions, evidence of payment of such Impositions, and (ii) annually, no later than the time for delivery of annual financial statements pursuant to Section 11.2.3, and shall update as new information is received, a schedule describing all Impositions, payable or estimated to be payable during such fiscal year attributable to or affecting the Property or Borrower. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Security Instrument shall be construed to require Borrower to pay any tax, assessment, levy or charge imposed on Lender in the nature of a franchise, capital levy, estate, inheritance, succession, income or net revenue tax.
Section 7.2 No Liens. Subject to its right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, Borrower shall at all times keep, or cause to be kept, the Property free from all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and shall pay when due and payable (or bond over) all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a Lien on the Property or any portion thereof and shall in any event cause the prompt, full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or against the Property or any portion thereof within forty-five (45) days after receiving written notice of the filing (whether from Lender, the lienor or any other Person) thereof. Borrower shall do or cause to be done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything reasonably necessary to fully preserve the first priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument against the Property, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to its Obligations as set forth in this Article VII, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such Lien, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances pursuant to Section 19.12 (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate).
Section 7.3 Contest. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Borrower to pay, or cause to be paid, any Imposition to satisfy any Lien, or to comply with any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, so long as Borrower is in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, where appropriate, diligently contesting the validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of such action or proceeding (i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower shall keep Lender informed of the status of such contest at reasonable intervals, (iii) if Borrower is not providing security as
60
provided in clause (vi) below, adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on Borrower’s books in accordance with GAAP, (iv) such contest operates to suspend collection or enforcement as the case may be, of the contested Imposition, Lien or Legal Requirement and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or Lien is bonded, (v) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure of Borrower to comply therewith shall not impair the validity of any insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under Section 6.1 or the right to full payment of any claims thereunder, and (vi) in the case of Impositions and Liens in excess of $500,000 individually, or $2,000,000 in the aggregate, which are not bonded, during such contest, Borrower, shall deposit with or deliver to Lender (and, if a Securitization shall have occurred, promptly following any such deposit or delivery, Borrower shall provide written notice of same to the Rating Agencies) either Cash and Cash Equivalents, a Letter or Letters of Credit or other security reasonably acceptable to Lender in an amount equal to 110% of (A) the amount of Borrower’s obligations being contested plus (B) any additional interest, charge, or penalty arising from such contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other security, Borrower promptly shall comply with any contested Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or shall pay any contested Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or Lender is likely to be subject to civil penalties or criminal damages as a result thereof. If such action or proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender reasonable evidence of Borrower’s compliance with such contested Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, as the case may be.

Section 8.2 Sale of Building Equipment.

64
remedies as landlord with respect to any Leases so long as Borrower exercises such rights and remedies in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with prevailing market practices (including, without limitation, terminating the Lease of any tenant which is in default thereunder beyond any applicable grace periods).

65
(f) such New Lease or Future Lease, as applicable, provides that the premises demised thereby cannot be used for any of the following uses; any pornographic or obscene purposes, any commercial sex establishment, any pornographic, obscene, nude or semi-nude performances, modeling, materials, activities or sexual conduct or any other use that, as of the time of the execution of such New Lease or Future Lease, has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

8.8.7 Subordination. Any New Leases entered into by Borrower after the date hereof shall by their express terms be subject and subordinate to this Agreement and the Security Instrument (through a subordination provision contained in such Lease or otherwise) and shall provide that the Person holding any rights thereunder shall attorn to Lender or any other Person succeeding to the interests of Lender upon the exercise of its remedies hereunder or any transfer in lieu thereof on the terms set forth in this Section 8.8 provided Lender agrees not to disturb such Person’s right to occupancy pursuant to said Lease.
8.8.8 Attornment. Each New Lease entered into from and after the date hereof shall provide that in the event of the enforcement by Lender of any remedy under this Agreement or the Security Instrument, the Tenant under such Lease shall, so long as Lender agrees not to disturb such Tenant’s right to occupancy, at the option of Lender or of any other Person succeeding to the interest of Lender as a result of such enforcement, attorn to Lender or to such Person and shall recognize Lender or such successor in the interest as lessor under such Lease without change in the provisions thereof; provided, however, Lender or such successor in interest shall not be liable for or bound by (i) except as may be included in any Lease approved by Lender, any payment of an installment of rent or additional rent which may have been made more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment, (ii) any act or omission of or default by Borrower under any such Lease (but the Lender, or such successor, shall be subject to the continuing obligations of the landlord to the extent arising from or continuing to occur from and after such succession to the extent of Lender’s, or such successor’s, interest in the Property), or (iii) any credits, claims, setoffs or defenses which any Tenant may have against Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Lender shall have entered into a separate Non-Disturbance Agreement directly with any such Tenant governing such Tenant’s obligation to attorn to Lender or such successor in interest as lessor, the terms and provisions of such agreement shall supersede the provisions of this Section 8.8.8 and the provisions of this Section 8.8.8 shall be deemed satisfied regardless of whether such attornment language is contained in such New Lease.

Section 10.1 Maintenance of Property. Borrower shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, the Property and every part thereof in good condition and repair, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and, subject to Excusable Delays and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to damage or destruction caused by casualty events or Takings, shall not permit or commit any waste, impairment, or deterioration of any portion of the Property in any material respect. Borrower further covenants to (i) complete all immediate repairs or deferred maintenance and life safety repairs recommended by the Physical Condition Reports, and (ii) do all other acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to protect the security hereof, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the general. Borrower shall not remove or demolish any Improvement on the Property except as the same may be necessary in connection with an Alteration or a restoration in connection with a Taking or casualty, or as otherwise permitted herein, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
Section 10.2 Conditions to Alteration. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Borrower shall have the right, without Lender’s consent, to undertake any alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of the Property or any portion thereof (any such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an Alteration), provided that, with respect to the Property, such Alterations may be undertaken only so long as (i) Borrower provides Lender with prior written notice of any Material Alteration, and (ii) such Alteration is undertaken in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, is not prohibited by any relevant REAs and the Leases and shall not, upon completion (giving credit to rent and other charges attributable to Leases executed upon such completion), have a Material Adverse Effect on the value, use or operation of the Property taken as a whole or otherwise. Any Material Alteration shall be conducted under the supervision of an Independent Architect and, in connection with any Material Alteration, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, for information purposes only and not for approval by Lender, detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates therefor, prepared by such Independent Architect, as well as a Borrower’s Certificate stating that such Alteration will involve an estimated cost of not more than the Threshold Amount for Alterations at the Property. Such plans and specifications may be revised at any time and from time to time by such Independent Architect provided that material revisions of such plans and specifications are filed with Lender, for information purposes only. All work done in connection with any Alteration shall be performed with due diligence in a good and workmanlike manner, all materials used in connection with any Alteration shall not be less than the standard of quality of the materials currently used at the Property and all materials used shall be in accordance with all applicable material Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.
68
Section 10.3 Costs of Alteration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, no Material Alteration nor any Alteration which when aggregated with all other Alterations (other than Material Alterations) then being undertaken by Borrower at any one time (exclusive of Alterations constituting tenant improvements or decorative work such as painting, wall papering and carpeting and the replacement of fixtures, furnishings and equipment) exceeds the Threshold Amount, shall be performed by or on behalf of Borrower unless Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, if requested by Lender, Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit as security in an amount not less than the estimated cost of the Material Alteration or the Alterations in excess of the Threshold Amount (as set forth in the Independent Architect’s written estimate referred to above). Lender shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 10.3 release such security to Borrower for payment or reimbursement from time to time of Borrower’s expenses incurred in connection with any Material Alteration or any such Alteration. Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement more frequently than once in any calendar month and the total amount of any request shall not be less than $25,000 (except in the case of the final request for disbursement). In addition, the amount of such security shall be reduced from time to time in accordance with the Independent Architect’s written estimate of the cost to complete the Material Alteration or the Alterations (including any retainages), free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances. Costs which are subject to retainage (which in no event shall be less than 5% in the aggregate) shall be treated as part of the estimated cost to complete any Alteration. In the event that any Material Alteration or Alteration shall be made in conjunction with any restoration with respect to which Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.2, the amount of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or Letter of Credit to be furnished pursuant hereto need not exceed the aggregate cost of such restoration and such Material Alteration or Alteration (as estimated by the Independent Architect), less the sum of the amount of any Proceeds which Borrower may be entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 6.2 and which are held by Lender in accordance with Section 6.2. Payment or reimbursement of Borrower’s expenses incurred with respect to any Material Alteration or any such Alteration shall be accomplished upon the terms and conditions specified in Section 6.2. At any time after substantial completion of any Material Alteration or any such Alteration in respect of which Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit was deposited pursuant hereto, the whole balance of any Cash and Cash Equivalents so deposited by Borrower with Lender and then remaining on deposit (together with earnings thereon), as well as all retainages, may be withdrawn by Borrower and shall be paid by Lender to Borrower, and any other Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit so deposited or delivered shall, to the extent it has not been called upon, reduced or theretofore released, be released to Borrower and from the lien hereof, within ten (10) days after receipt by Lender of an application for such withdrawal and/or release together with a Borrower’s Certificate, and signed also (as to the following clause (a)) by the Independent Architect, setting forth in substance as follows:
(a) that the Material Alteration or Alteration in respect of which such Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit was deposited has been substantially completed in all material respects substantially in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor previously filed with Lender under Section 10.2 and that, if applicable, a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy has been issued with respect to such Material Alteration or Alteration by the relevant Governmental Authority(ies) or, if not applicable, that a certificate of occupancy is not required; and
69
(b) that to the knowledge of the certifying Person all amounts which Borrower is or may become liable to pay in respect of such Material Alteration or Alteration through the date of the certification have been paid in full or adequately provided for or are being contested in accordance with Section 7.3 and that lien waivers have been obtained from the general contractor and major subcontractors performing such Material Alterations or Alterations (or such waivers are not customary and reasonably obtainable by prudent managers in the area where the Property is located).

XII. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Section 12.1 Representations. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that except as set forth in the environmental reports and studies delivered to Lender or in any other written materials provided by Borrower to Lender prior to the date hereof (the Environmental Reports), (i) Borrower has not engaged in or knowingly permitted any operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in any way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in or about the Property, or transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in material compliance with Environmental Laws and only in the course of legitimate business operations at the Property; (ii) to Borrower’s knowledge, no tenant, occupant or user of the Property, nor any other person, has engaged in or permitted any operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in any material way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, in or about the Property, or transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in material compliance with Environmental Laws and only in the course of legitimate business operations at the Property; (iii) to Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are presently constructed, deposited, stored, or otherwise located on, under, in or about the Property except in material compliance with Environmental Laws; (iv) to Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have migrated from the Property upon or beneath other properties which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability for Borrower; and (v) to Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have migrated or threaten to migrate from other properties upon, about or beneath the Property which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability for Borrower.
Section 12.2 Covenants.
12.2.1 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Subject to Borrower’s right to contest under Section 7.3, Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it shall materially comply with all Environmental Laws. If at any time during the continuance of the Lien of the Security Instrument, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property requires remedial action to correct the presence of Hazardous Materials in, around, or under the Property (an Environmental Event), Borrower shall deliver prompt notice of the occurrence of such Environmental Event to Lender. Within thirty (30) days after Borrower has knowledge of
72
the occurrence of an Environmental Event, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrower’s Certificate (an Environmental Certificate) explaining the Environmental Event in reasonable detail and setting forth the proposed remedial action, if any. Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with copies of all notices which allege or identify any actual or potential violation or noncompliance of Environmental Law received by or prepared by or for Borrower in connection with any Environmental Event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “notice” shall mean any summons, citation, directive, order, claim, pleading, letter, application, filing, report, findings, declarations or other written materials provided to Borrower pertinent to compliance of the Property and Borrower with such Environmental Laws.
12.2.2 Environmental Reports. Borrower shall comply in all material respects with the recommendations contained in the Environmental Reports. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Environmental Event with respect to the Property or during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right (subject to the terms of any Leases) to have its consultants perform an environmental audit of the Property (which, if no Event of Default exists, shall be limited to the extent necessary to determine the nature of the Environmental Event). Such audit shall be conducted by an Environmental Consultant chosen by Lender and may include a visual survey, a record review, an area reconnaissance assessing the presence of Hazardous Materials or storage tanks at the Property, an asbestos survey of the Property, which may include random sampling of the improvements and air quality testing, and such further site assessments as Lender may reasonably require due to the results obtained from the foregoing. Borrower grants Lender, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to enter the Property as reasonable or appropriate for the circumstances for the purposes of performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written demand by Lender and shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Instrument. Lender shall not unreasonably interfere with, and Lender shall direct the Environmental Consultant to use its best efforts not to hinder, Borrower’s or any Tenant’s, other occupant’s or Manager’s operations upon the Property when conducting such audit, sampling or inspections. By undertaking any of the measures identified in and pursuant to this Section 12.3, Lender shall not be deemed to be exercising any control over the operations of Borrower or the handling of any environmental matter or hazardous wastes or substances of Borrower for purposes of incurring or being subject to liability therefor.
Section 12.3 Environmental Indemnification. Borrower shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and any and all claims, suits and judgments which any Indemnified Party may actually suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials; provided that, in each case, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under this subsection if any of the matters referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above did not occur (but need not have been discovered) prior to (1) the foreclosure of the Security Instrument, (2) the delivery by Borrower to Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Property, or (3) Lender’s or its designee’s taking possession and control of the Property after the occurrence of an
73
Event of Default hereunder. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains.

In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party.

(b) Unless waived in writing by Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(vi), (vii) or (viii) above) Lender may, without notice or demand, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, (i) declaring immediately due and payable the entire Principal Amount together with interest thereon and all other sums due by Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) collecting interest on the Principal Amount at the Default Rate whether or not Lender elects to accelerate the Note and (iii) enforcing or availing itself of any or all rights or remedies set forth in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in subsections (a)(vi) or (a)(vii) above, the Indebtedness and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of its right to pursue any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Any payment hereunder may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at such time by one or more of the remedies provided to Lender in the Loan Documents.
Section 17.2 Remedies.
(a) Unless waived in writing by Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition,
85
Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding Principal Amount of the Loan, Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover so much of the Principal Amount of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to this Agreement and the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Except as may otherwise be required pursuant to Section 5.1.11 above, (i) Lender shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date and (iii) the Severed Loan Documents shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 5.1.11 (a) and (b) above mutatis mutandis.
Section 17.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the Security Instrument shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or Sponsor shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or Sponsor or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Section 17.4 Costs of Collection. In the event that after an Event of Default: (i) the Note or any of the Loan Documents is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note or any of the Loan Documents;
86
or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the Loan Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Lender at the Default Rate.

legally entitled to receive under this Section which are not paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties or Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with such interest, be part of the Indebtedness and secured by the Security Instrument. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall at Borrower’s reasonable expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Lender (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s reasonable expense for its defense with respect to any action which in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Party presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, further, that if Lender shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of any other Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Lender. So long as Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding and Lender agrees that it will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such determination, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 19.12 with respect to settlement of such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower.
Section 19.13 Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. The Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 19.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and to the extent permitted by controlling law any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
95
Section 19.15 Liability of Assignees of Lender. No assignee of Lender shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. In addition, no assignee shall have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating to the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this Section 19.15 is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and (ii) shall not apply to any assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender or Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members and others with interests in Borrower and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of
96
Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 19.19 Waiver of Counterclaim and other Actions. Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, any and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document and cannot be maintained in a separate action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect the right of Borrower to bring a separate proceeding against Lender.
Section 19.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or their Affiliates.
Section 19.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower and Lender each hereby represent that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower and Lender hereby agree to indemnify each other, defend and hold each other harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including each other’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of such party in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 19.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Indebtedness.
Section 19.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the
97
terms, conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.

Section 19.24 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

The undersigned being a registered surveyor of the State of [State] hereby certifies to GERMAN AMERICAN CAPITAL CORPORATION, [NAME OF BORROWING ENTITY] and [INSERT NAME OF TITLE COMPANY], and each of their respective successors and assigns, as of the date below, as follows:
This print of survey actually was made on the ground on [INSERT DATE SURVEY WAS MADE] in accordance with the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys,” jointly established and adopted by American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) and American Congress on Surveying & Mapping (“ACSM”) and National Society of Professional Surveyors (“NSPS”) in 1999, contains Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(1), 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 16 of Table A thereto, and correctly shows: (i) a fixed and determinable position and location of the land described herein (together with the buildings and improvements thereon, the “Mortgaged Property”), including the position of the point of beginning; (ii) the location of all buildings, structures and other improvements situated on the land; (iii) all driveways or other curb cuts along any street or alley upon which the land abuts; (iv) the location and name of all public and private streets or alleys located thereon or adjacent thereto, all of which are public unless otherwise noted; (v) the location, dimension and recording data of all easements, rights-of-way and other matters of record thereon or with respect to which the undersigned has knowledge; (vi) the location and dimension of all unrecorded easements, paths, rights-of-way and party walls to the extent visible thereon or with respect to which the undersigned has knowledge; (vii) the location of applicable building restriction and setback lines required by local ordinances and regulations; and (viii) the location of all encroachments or overhangs onto or from the Mortgaged Property. Except as shown on this survey, there are no visible discrepancies, conflicts, shortages in area or boundary line conflicts. Except as shown on the survey, the Mortgaged Property does not serve any adjoining property for drainage, utilities or ingress or egress. The Mortgaged Property has access to and from a duly dedicated and accepted public roadway. This survey reflects boundary lines of the land, which “close” by engineering calculations. All utility services to the Mortgaged Property either enter the Mortgaged Property through adjoining public streets, or this survey shows the point of entry and location of any utilities which pass through or are located on adjoining private land to the extent visible or known to the undersigned. The Mortgaged Property does not lie within an area designated as a flood hazard area by any map or publication of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Mortgaged Property and only the Mortgaged Property constitutes
B-1
one tax lot. All zoning use and density classifications are properly shown hereon. The undersigned has received and examined a copy of the Commitment for Title Insurance No. , dated , issued by , with respect to the Mortgaged Property, as well as a copy of each instrument listed therein. The location of each exception set forth in such Commitment, to the extent it can be located, has (with recording reference and reference to the exception number of the Commitment) been shown hereon. The undersigned further certifies that this survey meets the Accuracy Standards (as adopted by ALTA, ACSM and NSPS and in effect on the date of this certification) and [SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TWO PHRASES]:
[the Positional Uncertainties resulting from the survey measurements made on the survey do not exceed the allowable Positional Tolerance.] [the survey measurements were made in accordance with the “Minimum Angel, Distance and Closure Requirements for Survey Measurements Which Control Land Boundaries for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys.”]

WHEREAS, Lender is about to make a loan to Landlord, which loan shall be secured by, among other things, a mortgage or deed of trust (which mortgage or deed of trust, and all amendments, renewals, increases, modifications, replacements, substitutions, extensions, spreaders and consolidations thereof and all re-advances thereunder and addictions thereto, is referred to as the “Security Instrument”) encumbering the Property; and
WHEREAS, Lender and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding and agreement with respect to the Lease and the Security Instrument.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Lender and Tenant hereby agree and covenant as follows:
1. | The Lease, and all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions thereof (including, without limitation, any right of first refusal, right of first offer, option or any similar right with respect to the sale or purchase of the Property, or any portion thereof) is, shall be and shall at all times remain and continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien, terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Security Instrument and to all advances and re-advances made thereunder and all sums secured thereby. |
2. | So long as (i) Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given in the Lease to Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent, percentage rent or additional rent or in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or |
4
observed, (ii) Tenant is not in default under this Agreement and (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect: (a) Tenant’s possession of the Premises and Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor which is contained in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Lender, and Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender for any reason whatsoever during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or renewals thereof and (b) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Security Instrument or to enforce any rights or remedies of Lender under the Security Instrument which would cut-off, destroy, terminate or extinguish the Lease or Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease (except to the extent required so that Tenant’s right to receive or set-off any monies or obligations owed or to be performed by any of Lender’s predecessors-in-interest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Lender or any of Lender’s successors-in-interest). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if it would be procedurally disadvantageous for Lender not to name or join Tenant as a party in a foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Security Instrument, Lender may so name or join Tenant without in any way diminishing or otherwise affecting the rights and privileges granted to, or inuring to the benefit of, Tenant under this Agreement. |
3. | (A) After notice is given by Lender that the Security Instrument is in default and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender, Tenant will pay to Lender, or pay in accordance with the directions of Lender, all rentals and other monies due and to become due to Landlord under the Lease or otherwise in respect of the Premises and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any liability on account of such payments. |
(B) In addition, if Lender (or its nominee or designee) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease through possession or foreclosure action, delivery of a deed or otherwise, or another person purchases the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the Security Instrument or in connection with any bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord, then at the request of Lender (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser (Lender, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns, each being a “Successor-Landlord”), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor-Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under the Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor-Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant upon all terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in the Lease. If the Lease shall have terminated by operation of law or otherwise as a result of or in connection with a bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or a foreclosure action or proceeding or delivery of a deed in lieu, upon request of Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a direct lease with Successor-Landlord which direct
5
lease shall be on the same terms and conditions as the Lease (subject, however, to the provisions of clauses (i)-(v) of this paragraph 3(B)) and shall be effective as of the day the Lease shall have terminated as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the continuation of the Lease, the attornment of Tenant thereunder or the execution of a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant as aforesaid, Successor-Landlord shall not:
(i) | be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under the Lease; |
(ii) | be subject to any off-set, defense or counterclaim which shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord; |
(iii) | be bound by any modification of the Lease or by any previous prepayment of rent or additional rent made more than one (1) month prior to the date same was due which Tenant might have paid to Landlord, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Lender; |
(iv) | be liable for any security deposited under the Lease unless such security has been physically delivered to Lender or Successor-Landlord; and |
(v) | be liable or obligated to comply with or fulfill any of the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease or any agreement relating thereto with respect to the construction of, or payment for, improvements on or above the Premises (or any portion thereof), leasehold improvements, tenant work letters and/or similar items |
4. | Tenant agrees that without the prior written consent of Lender, it shall not (a) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof, (b) tender a surrender of the Lease, (c) make a prepayment of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, or (d) subordinate or permit the subordination of the Lease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument. Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against the holder of the Security Instrument. |
5. | (A) Tenant shall promptly notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease and of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction. |
(B) In the event of a default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event of any other act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until Tenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Lender and (ii) unless Lender has failed, within sixty (60) days after Lender receives such notice, to cure or
6
remedy the default, act or omission or, if such default, act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied by Lender within such sixty (60) day period, until a reasonable period for remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Security Instrument to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under the Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that Lender shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to and shall promptly commence and diligently and in good faith continue to, remedy such default, act or omission. To the extent Lender incurs any expenses or other costs in curing or remedying such default, act or omission, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, Lender shall be subrogated to Tenant’s rights against Landlord.
(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation hereunder to remedy such default, act or omission.
6. | To the extent that the Lease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence of any mortgage and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Lender. |
7. | Upon and after the occurrence of a default under the Security Instrument, which is not cured after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Lender shall be entitled, but not obligated, to exercise the claims, rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Landlord under the Lease and shall be further entitled to the benefits of, and to receive and enforce performance of, all of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under the Lease as though Lender were named therein as Landlord. |
8. | Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Successor-Landlord shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor-Landlord’s then interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor-Landlord in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor-Landlord hereunder or under the Lease. |
9. | If the Lease provides that Tenant is entitled to expansion space, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation nor any liability for failure to provide such expansion space if a prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), by reason of a lease or leases entered into by such prior landlord with other tenants of the Property, has precluded the availability of such expansion space. |
10. | Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Lender shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other instrument to which Lender |
7
may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease or otherwise. |
11. | (A) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement satisfies and complies in all respects with the provisions of Article of the Lease and that this Agreement supersedes (but only to the extent inconsistent with) the provisions of such Article and any other provision of the Lease relating to the priority or subordination of the Lease and the interests or estates created thereby to the Security Instrument. |
(B) Tenant agrees to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any lender which shall succeed Lender as lender with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, provided such agreement is substantially similar to this Agreement.
12. | (A) Any notice required or permitted to be given by Tenant to Landlord shall be simultaneously given also to Lender, and any right to Tenant dependent upon notice shall take effect only after notice is so given. Performance by Lender shall satisfy any conditions of the Lease requiring performance by Landlord, and Lender shall have a reasonable time to complete such performance as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof. |
(B) All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to Tenant or to Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if mailed by United States registered mail, postage prepaid, or if sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express or United States Postal Service Express Mail), addressed as follows: to Tenant, at the address first set forth above, Attention: ; to Lender, at the address first set forth above, Attention: and General Counsel, with a copy to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X.

All such notices shall be deemed given three (3) business days after delivery to the United States Post office registry clerk if given by registered mail, or on the next business day after delivery to an overnight delivery courier.
13. | This Agreement may be modified only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto, or their respective successors-in-interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns. The term “Lender” shall mean the then holder of the Security Instrument. The term “Landlord” shall mean the then holder of the landlord’s interest in the Lease.

(P33NM/Office) | Page 3 |

However, if during any calendar year of the Term the occupancy of the Project is less than ninety-five percent (95%), then Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of Operating Expenses, as reasonably determined by Landlord, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Project been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during that calendar year. This estimated amount shall be deemed the amount of Operating Expenses for that calendar year. For purposes hereof, “variable components” shall include only those Operating Expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels.
6.3.1. Definitions. As used in this Section 6.3.1., the following terms shall have the following meanings:
6.3.1.1.

6.4. Determination and Payment of Tax Costs and Operating Expenses.
6.4.1. On or before the last day of each December during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement showing in reasonable detail Landlord’s projected Direct Costs for the succeeding calendar year. If such statement of projected Direct Costs indicates the Direct Costs will be higher than in the Base Year, then the Rent due from Tenant hereunder for the next succeeding year shall be increased by an amount equal to Tenant’s
(P33NM/Office) | Page 5 |
Proportionate Share of the difference between the projected Direct Costs for the calendar year and the Base Year. If during the course of the calendar year Landlord determines that actual Direct Costs will vary from its estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may deliver to Tenant a written statement showing Landlord’s revised estimate of Direct Costs. On the next payment date for Monthly Installments of Rent following Tenant’s receipt of either such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional amount equal to such monthly Rent increase adjustment (as set forth on Landlord’s statement). Thereafter, the monthly Rent adjustment payments becoming due shall be in the amount set forth in such projected Rent adjustment statement from Landlord. Neither Landlord’s failure to deliver nor late delivery of such statement shall constitute a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord’s right to any Rent adjustment provided for herein.
6.4.2. On or before the first day of each April during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of reconciliation (the Reconciliation) showing in reasonable detail Landlord’s actual Direct Costs for the prior year, together with a full statement of any adjustments necessary to reconcile any sums paid as estimated Rent adjustments during the prior year with those sums actually payable for such prior year. In the event such Reconciliation shows that additional sums are due from Tenant, Tenant shall pay such sums to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of such Reconciliation. In the event such Reconciliation shows that a credit is due Tenant, such credit shall be credited against the sums next becoming due from Tenant, unless this Lease has expired or been terminated pursuant to the terms hereof (and all sums due Landlord have been paid), in which event such sums shall be refunded to Tenant. Neither Landlord’s failure to deliver nor late delivery of such Reconciliation to Tenant by April first shall constitute a default by Landlord or operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect all Rent due hereunder.
6.4.3. So long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of the Lease and provided Notice of Tenant’s request is given to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Reconciliation, Tenant may inspect Landlord’s Reconciliation accounting records relating to Direct Costs at Landlord’s corporate office, during normal business hours, for the purpose of verifying the charges contained in such statement. The audit must be completed within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Notice, unless such period is extended by Landlord (in Landlord’s reasonable discretion). Before conducting any audit however, Tenant must pay in full the amount of Direct Costs billed. Tenant may only review those records that specifically relate to Direct Costs. Tenant may not review any other leases or Landlord’s tax returns or financial statements. In conducting an audit, Tenant must utilize an independent certified public accountant experienced in auditing records related to commercial property operations. The proposed accountant is subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval. The audit shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted rules of auditing practices. Tenant may not conduct an audit more often than once each calendar year. Tenant may audit records relating to a calendar year only one time. No audit shall cover a period of time other than the calendar year from which Landlord’s Reconciliation was generated. Upon receipt thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the audit report and all accompanying data. Tenant and Tenant’s auditor shall keep confidential any agreements involving the rights provided in this section and the results of any audit conducted hereunder. As a condition precedent to Tenant’s right to conduct an audit, Tenant’s auditor shall sign a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. However, Tenant shall be permitted to furnish information to its attorneys, accountants and auditors to the extent necessary to perform their respective services for Tenant.
6.5. Definition of Rent. All costs and expenses other than Base Rent, that Tenant assumes or agrees or is obligated to pay to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed Additional Rent (which, together with the Base Rent, is sometimes referred to as Rent).
6.6. Taxes on Tenant’s Use and Occupancy. In addition to the Rent and any other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) which are not otherwise reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties, where such taxes are upon, measured by or
(P33NM/Office) | Page 6 |
reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, other than Building Standard Tenant Improvements made by Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant or Landlord; (b) the gross or net Rent payable under this Lease, including, without limitation, any rental or gross receipts tax levied by any taxing authority with respect to the receipt of the Rent hereunder; (c) the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any costs as required under this Lease, the Base Rent shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the reimbursement being unlawful.
7. | LATE CHARGES. |
If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amounts or charges which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, then Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such installment if any such installment is not received by Landlord within five (5) days from the date it is due. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease including, without limitation, administrative costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered as a result of such late payment by Tenant. However, the late charge is not intended to cover Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and costs relating to delinquent Rent. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such late payment by nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Late charges are deemed Additional Rent.
In no event shall this provision for the imposition of a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or an extension of time within which to pay any Rent due hereunder or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay such Rent when due.
8. | SECURITY DEPOSIT. |
Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord a Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 2.16. as security for Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and Landlord shall have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such deposit. Tenant shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.
If Tenant fails to timely pay any Rent or other amount due under this Lease, or fails to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have, appropriate and apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit for Rent payments or any other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any amount for which Landlord has become obligated as a result of Tenant’s default or breach, and for any loss or damage sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default or breach. If Landlord so uses any of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited. Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for in Section 19. hereof.
If Tenant defaults under this Lease more than two (2) times during the Lease term, irrespective of whether such default is cured, then, without limiting Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, modify the amount of the required Security Deposit. Within ten (10) days after Notice of such modification, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the required additional sums. Tenant’s failure to do so shall
(P33NM/Office) | Page 7 |
constitute an act of default, and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for in Section 19 . hereof.
If Tenant complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant is not in default on any of its obligations hereunder, then within the time period statutorily prescribed after Tenant vacates the Premises, Landlord shall return to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last subtenant or assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) the Security Deposit less any expenditures made by Landlord to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant and to clean the Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
9. | TENANT’S USE OF THE PREMISES. |
The provisions of this Section are for the benefit of the Landlord and are not nor shall they be construed to be for the benefit of any tenant of the Building or Project.
9.1. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Section 2.20. No change in the Use of the Premises shall be permitted, except as provided in this Section 9.
9.1.1. If, at any time during the Term hereof, Tenant desires to change the Use of the Premises, including any change in Use associated with a proposed assignment or sublet of the Premises, Tenant shall provide Notice to Landlord of its request for approval of such proposed change in Use. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with such information concerning the proposed change in Use as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have the right to approve such proposed change in Use, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord’s consent to any change in Use shall not be construed as a consent to any subsequent change in Use.
9.2. Observance of Law. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises in violation of any declarations, covenant, condition or restriction, or law, statute, ordinance or governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon Notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or of the Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant shall promptly comply, at its sole cost and expense, with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be imposed which shall by reason of Tenant’s Use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Use or occupation. Further, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, bring the Premises into compliance with all such laws, including the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (ADA), whether or not the necessity for compliance is triggered by Tenant’s Use, and Tenant shall make, at its sole cost and expense, any changes to the Premises required to accommodate Tenant’s employees with disabilities (any work performed pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the terms of Section 12. hereof). The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord is a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute, ordinance, or governmental regulation, rule or requirement in the use or occupancy of the Premises, Building or Project shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
9.3. Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will contravene, invalidate or increase the cost of any insurance policy covering the Building or Project and/or property located therein, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations, requirements and recommendations of Landlord’s insurance carrier(s) or any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant’s improvements or acts. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for violation of this Section.
9.4. Nuisance and Waste. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the

Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.
9.5. Load and Equipment Limits. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises which exceeds the load per square foot which such floor was designed to carry as determined by Landlord or Landlord’s structural engineer. The cost of any such determination made by Landlord’s structural engineer in connection with Tenant’s occupancy shall be paid by Tenant upon Landlord’s demand. Tenant shall not install business machines or mechanical equipment which will in any manner cause noise objectionable to or injure other tenants in the Project.
9.6. Hazardous Material. Unless Tenant obtains the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not create, generate, use, bring, allow, emit, dispose, or permit on the Premises, Building or Project any toxic or hazardous gaseous, liquid, or solid material or waste, or any other hazardous material defined or listed in any applicable federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance. If Landlord grants its consent, Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws with respect to such hazardous material, including all laws affecting the use, storage and disposal thereof. If the presence of any hazardous material brought to the Premises, Building or Project by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agent or contractors results in contamination, Tenant shall promptly take all actions necessary, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to remediate the contamination and restore the Premises, Building or Project to the condition that existed before introduction of such hazardous material. Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s approval of the proposed remedial action and shall keep Landlord informed during the process of remediation.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Landlord arising from such bringing, allowing, using, permitting, generating, creating, emitting, or disposing of toxic or hazardous material whether or not consent to same has been granted by Landlord. Tenant’s duty to defend, hold-harmless and indemnify Landlord hereunder shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. The consent requirement contained herein shall not apply to ordinary office products that may contain de minimis quantities of hazardous material; however, Tenant’s indemnification obligations are not diminished with respect to the presence of such products. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has an affirmative duty to immediately notify Landlord of any release or suspected release of hazardous material in the Premises or on or about the Project.
Medical waste and any other waste, the removal of which is regulated, shall be contracted for and disposed of by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. No material shall be placed in Project trash boxes, receptacles or Common Areas if the material is of such a nature that it cannot be disposed of in the ordinary and customary manner of removing and disposing of trash and garbage in the State without being in violation of any law or ordinance.
10. | SERVICES AND UTILITIES. |
Landlord agrees to furnish services and utilities to the Premises during normal business hours on generally recognized business days subject to the Rules and Regulations of the Building or Project and provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder. Services and utilities shall include reasonable quantities of electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) as required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises; lighting replacement for building standard lights; window washing and janitor services in a manner that such services are customarily furnished to comparable office buildings in the area. Landlord shall supply common area water for drinking, cleaning and restroom purposes only. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall supply all paper and other products used within the Premises. During normal business hours on generally recognized business days, Landlord shall also maintain and keep lighted the common stairs, common entries and restrooms in the Building and shall furnish elevator service and restroom supplies. If Tenant desires HVAC or other customary Building services at any other time, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish such service upon reasonable notice from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s charges therefor on demand. Landlord may provide telecommunications lines and systems as discussed in Section 35. hereof.
(P33NM/Office) | Page 9 |
If permitted by law, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, at any time and from time to time during the Term, to contract for the provision of electricity (or any other utility) with, and to switch from, any company providing such utility. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and any such utility provider at all times, and, as reasonably necessary, Tenant shall allow such parties access to the electric (or other utility) lines, feeders, risers, wiring and other machinery located within the Premises.
Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall Rent be abated by reason of (a) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of any of the foregoing services, or (b) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such services where such failure or delay is caused by accident or any condition or event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises, Building or Project, or (c) any change, failure, interruption, disruption or defect in the quantity or character of the electricity (or other utility) supplied to the Premises or Project, or (d) the limitation, curtailment or rationing of, or restrictions on, use of water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy serving the Premises, Building or Project. Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or business, however occurring, through, in connection with or incidental to the failure to furnish any such services.
Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus or device in the Premises, including, without limitation, electronic data processing machines, punch card machines, word processing equipment, personal computers, or machines using in excess of 120 volts, which consumes more electricity than is usually furnished or supplied for the use of desk top office equipment and photocopy equipment ordinarily in use in premises designated as general office space, as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall not connect any apparatus to electric current except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises.
Tenant shall not consume electric current in excess of that usually furnished or supplied for the use of premises as office space (as determined by Landlord), without first procuring the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse. In the event of consent, electrical current shall be separately metered in Tenant’s name and paid for by Tenant. The cost of any such meter and its installation, maintenance and repair shall be paid by Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant is granted the right to purchase electricity from a provider other than the company or companies used by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and against all losses, claims, demands, expenses and judgments caused by, or directly or indirectly arising from, the acts or omissions of Tenant’s electricity provider (including, but not limited to, expenses and/or fines incurred by Landlord in the event Tenant’s electricity provider fails to provide sufficient power to the Premises, as well as damages resulting from the improper or faulty installation or construction of facilities or equipment in or on the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s electricity provider.
Nothing contained in this Section shall restrict Landlord’s right to require at any time separate metering of utilities furnished to the Premises. If the separate metering of utilities furnished to the Premises is due to Tenant’s excessive use of electric current, then the cost of any such meter and its installation, maintenance and repair shall be paid by Tenant. If Landlord requires separate metering for reasons other than Tenant’s excessive consumption of electric current, then the cost of any such meter and its installation, maintenance and repair shall be paid by Landlord. In either event, accounts for all such separately metered utilities shall be in Tenant’s name and paid for by Tenant.
If Tenant uses heat generating machines or equipment in the Premises that affects the temperature otherwise maintained by the HVAC system, Landlord reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand therefor.

11.3. Compliance with Law.

14.2. Landlord Not Liable. Landlord shall not be liable for injury or damage which may be sustained by the person or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees or customers, 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 pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, lighting fixtures or mechanical or electrical systems, whether such damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building or Project or from other sources, unless the condition was the sole result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or omission of any other tenant of the Building or Project or for the acts of persons in, on or about the Premises, Building or the Project who are not the authorized agents of Landlord or for losses due to theft, vandalism or like causes.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s election to provide mechanical surveillance or to post security personnel in the Building or on the Project is solely within Landlord’s discretion. Landlord shall have no liability in connection with the decision whether or not to provide such services, and, to the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby waives all claims based thereon.
15. | TENANT’S INSURANCE. |
15.1. Insurance Requirement. Tenant shall procure and maintain insurance coverage in accordance with the terms hereof, either as specific policies or within blanket policies. Coverage shall begin on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any purpose and shall continue until expiration of the Term, except as otherwise set forth in the Lease. The cost of such insurance shall be borne by Tenant.
(P33NM/Office) | Page 13 |
Insurance shall be with insurers licensed to do business in the State, and acceptable to Landlord. The insurers must have a current A.M. Best’s rating of not less than A:VII, or equivalent (as reasonably determined by Landlord) if the Best’s rating system is discontinued.
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with original certificates and amendatory endorsements effecting coverage required by this Section 15. before the date Tenant is first given access to the Premises. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by Landlord before any work commences. Landlord reserves the right to inspect and/or copy any insurance policy required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, or to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements effecting the coverage required herein at any time. Tenant shall comply with such requirement within thirty (30) days of demand therefor by Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with renewal certificates and amendments or a “binder” of any such policy at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration thereof. Each insurance policy required herein shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be canceled, except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Landlord’s lender (if such lender’s address is provided).
The Commercial General Liability policy, as hereinafter required, shall contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions: (a) Landlord and any parties designated by Landlord shall be covered as additional insureds as their respective interests may appear; and (b) Tenant’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as to any insurance carried by the parties designated as additional insureds. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by Landlord shall be excess of Tenant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
15.2. Minimum Scope of Coverage. Coverage shall be at least as broad as set forth herein. However, if, because of Tenant’s Use or occupancy of the Premises, Landlord determines, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, that additional insurance coverage or different types of insurance are necessary, then Tenant shall obtain such insurance at Tenant’s expense in accordance with the terms of this Section 15.
15.2.1. Commercial General Liability (ISO occurrence form CG 00 01) which shall cover liability arising from Tenant’s Use and occupancy of the Premises, its operations therefrom, Tenant’s independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal injury and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an insured contract.
15.2.2. Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by law, and Employers Liability insurance.
15.2.3. Commercial Property Insurance (ISO special causes of loss form CP 10 30) against all risk of direct physical loss or damage (including flood, if applicable), earthquake excepted, for: (a) all leasehold improvements (including any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 12. hereof) in, on or about the Premises; and (b) trade fixtures, merchandise and Tenant’s Property from time to time in, on or about the Premises. The proceeds of such property insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property so insured. Upon termination of this Lease following a casualty as set forth herein, the proceeds under (a) shall be paid to Landlord, and the proceeds under (b) above shall be paid to Tenant.
15.2.4. Business Auto Liability.
Landlord shall, during the Term hereof, maintain in effect similar insurance on the Building and Common Area.
15.2.5. Business Interruption and Extra Expense Insurance.
15.3. Minimum Limits of Insurance. Tenant shall maintain limits not less than:
(P33NM/Office) | Page 14 |
15.3.1. Commercial General Liability: $3,000,000 per occurrence. If the insurance contains a general aggregate limit, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this location or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.
15.3.2. Employer’s Liability: $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.
15.3.3. Commercial Property Insurance: 100% replacement cost with no coinsurance penalty provision.
15.3.4. Business Auto Liability: $1,000,000 per accident.
15.3.5. Business Interruption and Extra Expense Insurance: In a reasonable amount and comparable to amounts carried by comparable tenants in comparable projects.
15.4. Deductible and Self-Insured Retention. Any deductible or self-insured retention in excess of $5,000 per occurrence must be declared to and approved by Landlord. At the option of Landlord, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductible or self-insured retention or Tenant shall provide separate insurance conforming to this requirement.
15.5. Increases in Insurance Policy Limits. If the coverage limits set forth in this Section 15. are deemed inadequate by Landlord or Landlord’s lender, then Tenant shall increase the coverage limits to the amounts reasonably recommended by either Landlord or Landlord’s lender. Landlord agrees that any such required increases in coverage limits shall not occur more frequently than once every three (3) years.
15.6. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all rights of recovery against the other and against the officers, employees, agents and representatives, contractors and invitees of the other, on account of loss by or damage to the waiving party or its property or the property of others under its control, to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy which may have been in force at the time of such loss or damage.
15.7. Landlord’s Right to Obtain Insurance for Tenant. If Tenant fails to obtain the insurance coverage or fails to provide certificates and endorsements as required by this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, obtain such insurance for Tenant. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the reasonable cost thereof together with a twenty-five percent (25%) service charge.
16. | DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. |
16.1. Damage. If, during the Term of this Lease, the Premises or the portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy is damaged by fire or other casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance carried by Landlord, Landlord shall promptly repair the damage provided (a) such repairs can, in Landlord’s opinion, be completed, under applicable laws and regulations, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction is issued by the governing authority, (b) insurance proceeds are available to pay eighty percent (80%) or more of the cost of restoration, and (c) Tenant performs its obligations pursuant to Section 16.4. hereof. In such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or employees, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent to the extent Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of damage and continuing until completion of the repairs required of Landlord under Section 16.4. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents or employees and loss of rental income insurance is denied as a result, there shall be no abatement of Rent.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, in the event of partial or total damage or destruction of the Premises during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, either party shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior Notice to the other party provided such Notice is served within thirty (30) days after the damage or destruction. For purposes of this Section 16.1.,
(P33NM/Office) | Page 15 |
“partial damage or destruction” shall mean the damage or destruction of at least thirty-three and one-third percent (33 and 1/3%) of the Premises, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.
16.2. Repair of Premises in Excess of One Hundred Eighty Days. If in Landlord’s opinion, such repairs to the Premises or portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy cannot be completed under applicable laws and regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction is issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect, upon Notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this Section 1. If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.
16.3. Repair Outside Premises. If any other portion of the Building or Project is totally destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord’s opinion repair thereof cannot be completed under applicable laws and regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction is issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect upon Notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this Section 16. If Landlord does not elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.
16.4. Tenant Repair. If the Premises are to be repaired under this Section 16., Landlord shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building and Building Standard Tenant Improvements, if any. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform work other than Landlord’s Work performed previously pursuant to Section 12.1. hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold Improvements and Tenant’s Property (as well as reconstructing and reconnecting Tenant’s internal Lines and related equipment). Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of business, inconvenience or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises, Building or Project as a result of any damage from fire or other casualty.
16.5. Election Not to Perform Landlord’s Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall provide Notice to Tenant of its intent to repair or replace the Premises (if Landlord elects to perform such work), and, within ten (10) days of its receipt of such Notice, Tenant shall provide Notice to Landlord of its intent to reoccupy the Premises. Should Tenant fail to provide such Notice to Landlord, then such failure shall be deemed an election by Tenant not to re-occupy the Premises and Landlord may elect not to perform the repair or replacement of the Premises. Such election shall not result in a termination of this Lease and all obligations of Tenant hereunder shall remain in full force and effect, including the obligation to pay Rent.
16.6. Express Agreement. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises, Building or Project by fire or other casualty, and any present or future law which purports to govern the rights of Landlord and Tenant in such circumstances in the absence of an express agreement shall have no application.
17. | EMINENT DOMAIN. |
17.1. Whole Taking. If the whole of the Building or Premises is lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking, and Rent shall be prorated to such date.
17.2. Partial Taking. If less than the whole of the Building or Premises is so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, provided that (a) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking if twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises is taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not reasonably sufficient for Tenant to
(P33NM/Office) | Page 16 |
continue operation of its business, and (b) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after either such Notice. Rent shall be prorated to the date of termination. If this Lease continues in force upon such partial taking, Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be equitably adjusted.
17.3. Proceeds. In the event of any taking, partial or whole, all of the proceeds of any award, judgment or settlement payable by the condemning authority shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any award, judgment or settlement from the condemning authority; however, Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that Landlord’s award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to Tenant’s Property and damage to Leasehold Improvements installed at the sole expense of Tenant.
17.4. Landlord’s Restoration. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to the condemnation or taking; provided however, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform work other than Landlord’s Work performed previously pursuant to Section 12.1. hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of Tenant’s Property and any other Leasehold Improvements.
18. | ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. |
No assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises shall be permitted, except as provided in this Section 18.
18.1. No Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof by any party other than Tenant. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be voidable and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default hereunder. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assignable by operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord.
18.1.1. For purposes of this Section 18., the following shall be deemed an assignment:
18.1.1.1. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any partner(s) owning twenty-five (25%) or more (cumulatively) of any interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership;
18.1.1.2. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, any sale or transfer (or cumulative sales or transfers) of the capital stock of Tenant in excess of twenty-five percent (25%), or any sale (or cumulative sales) or transfer of fifty-one (51%) or more of the value of the assets of Tenant provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to corporations the capital stock of which is publicly traded.
18.2. Landlord’s Consent. If, at any time or from time to time during the Term hereof, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, and if Tenant is not then in default under the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request for approval setting forth the terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease, the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and a copy of the proposed form of assignment or sublease. Tenant’s request for consent shall be submitted to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of such transfer. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with such information concerning the business background and financial
(P33NM/Office) | Page 17 |
condition of such proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have the right to approve such proposed assignee or subtenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event however, shall Landlord be required to consent to any assignment or sublease (a) to an existing tenant in the Project or (b) that may violate any restrictions contained in any mortgage, lease or agreement affecting the Project. Landlord’s consent to any assignment shall not be construed as a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, transfer of partnership interest or stock, occupancy or use.
18.2.1. Landlord’s approval shall be conditioned, among other things, on Landlord’s receiving adequate assurances of future performance under this Lease and any sublease or assignment. In determining the adequacy of such assurances, Landlord may base its decision on such factors as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to:
18.2.1.1. that the source of rent and other consideration due under this Lease, and, in the case of assignment, that the financial condition and operating performance and business experience of the proposed assignee and its guarantors, if any, shall be equal to or greater than the financial condition and operating performance and experience of Tenant and its guarantors, if any, as of the time Tenant became the lessee under this Lease;
18.2.1.2. that any assumption or assignment of this Lease will not result in increased cost or expense, wear and tear, greater traffic or demand for services and utilities provided by Landlord pursuant to Section 10. hereof and will not disturb or be detrimental to other tenants of Landlord;
18.2.1.3. whether the proposed assignee’s use of the Premises will include the use of Hazardous Material, or will in any way increase any risk to Landlord relating to Hazardous Material; and
18.2.1.4. that assumption or assignment of such lease will not disrupt any tenant mix or balance in the project.
18.2.2. The assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms and conditions set forth in the written request for approval given to Landlord, or, if different, upon terms and conditions consented to by Landlord;
18.2.3. No assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or sublessee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof until an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been delivered to Landlord;
18.2.4. No assignee or sublessee shall have a further right to assign or sublet except on the terms herein contained;
18.2.5. Any sums or other economic considerations received by Tenant as a result of such assignment or subletting, however denominated under the assignment or sublease, which exceed, in the aggregate (a) the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased), plus (b) any real estate brokerage commissions or fees payable to third parties in connection with such assignment or subletting, shall be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease without effecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.
If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord three (3) fully executed original documents (in the form previously approved by Landlord) and Landlord shall attach its consent thereto. Landlord shall retain one (1) fully executed original document. No transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be deemed effective until the terms and conditions of this Section 18. have been fulfilled.
(P33NM/Office) | Page 18 |
18.3. Tenant Remains Responsible. No subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by an assignee or subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or sublets of the Lease or amendments or modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.
18.4. Conversion to a Limited Liability Entity. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant is a limited or general partnership (or is comprised of two (2) or more persons, individually or as co-partners, or entities), the change or conversion of Tenant to (a) a limited liability company, (b) a limited liability partnership, or (c) any other entity which possesses the characteristics of limited liability (any such limited liability entity is collectively referred to herein as a “Successor Entity”) shall be prohibited unless the prior written consent of Landlord is obtained, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.
18.4.1. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay such consent provided that:
18.4.1.1. The Successor Entity succeeds to all or substantially all of Tenant’s business and assets;
18.4.1.2. The Successor Entity shall have a tangible net worth (Tangible Net Worth), determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, of not less than the greater of the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant on (a) the date of execution of the Lease, or (b) the day immediately preceding the proposed effective date of such conversion; and
18.4.1.3. Tenant is not in default of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Lease on the proposed effective date of such conversion.
18.5. Payment of Fees. If Tenant assigns the Lease or sublets the Premises or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment, subletting or conversion to a limited liability entity, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, an administrative fee of Three Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($300.00) plus costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with each such act or request.
19. | DEFAULT. |
19.1. Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant.
19.1.1. If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises.
19.1.2. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease and such failure continues for three (3) days after receipt of Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.
19.1.3. If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30)
(P33NM/Office) | Page 19 |
days, if Tenant fails to commence to cure within that thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute to completion.
19.1.4. Tenant’s failure to occupy the Premises within ten (10) days after delivery of possession (as defined in Section 4. hereof).
19.1.5. Tenant’s failure to provide any document, instrument or assurance as required by Sections 12., 15., 18. and/or 35. if the failure continues for three (3) days after receipt of Notice from Landlord to Tenant.
19.1.6. To the extent provided by law:
19.1.6.1. If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease or on substantially all of Tenant’s Property; or
19.1.6.2. If Tenant or Tenant’s Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
19.1.6.3. If Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief or if a petition against Tenant in a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws is filed and not withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or if under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding up of corporations, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction, custody or control of Tenant or any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control remains in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of sixty (60) days; or
19.1.6.4. If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a party, a trustee, receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take charge of the Premises or Tenant’s Property (or has the authority to do so); or
19.1.6.5. If Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one (1) person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is involved in any of the acts or events described in Sections 19.1.6.1. through above.
19.2. Landlord Remedies. In the event of Tenant’s default hereunder, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under any law or at equity, Landlord shall have the right to collect interest on all past due sums (at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual), and, at Landlord’s option and without further notice or demand of any kind, to do the following:
19.2.1. Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease; or
19.2.2. Continue this Lease in effect, reenter and occupy the Premises for the account of Tenant, and collect any unpaid Rent or other charges which have or thereafter become due and payable; or
19.2.3. Reenter the Premises under the provisions of Section 19.2.2., and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.
If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of Sections 19.2.2. or 19.2.3. above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the obligation of Tenant to pay any Rent or other charges thereafter accruing unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord, Landlord shall have the
(P33NM/Office) | Page 20 |
right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part of Tenant’s Property in the Premises and to place such property in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations or repairs to the Premises; fourth to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of Rent received from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than the amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations and repairs to the Premises which are not covered by the rent received from the reletting.
19.3. Damages Recoverable. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease under the provisions of Section 19.2., Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the following:
19.3.1. Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination including the value of any Rent that was abated during the Term of the Lease (except Rent that was abated as a result of damage or destruction or condemnation); plus
19.3.2. Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned between the time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; plus
19.3.3. Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
19.3.4. Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b) maintaining the Premises after Tenant’s default, (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including brokers’ commissions.
“The worth at the time of the award” as used in Sections 19.3.1. and 19.3.2. above, is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual. “The worth at the time of the award” as used in Section 19.3.3. above, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).
19.4. Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and Tenant has not timely cured the default after Notice, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), without waiving such default, perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs of such performance immediately upon written demand therefor, and if paid at a later date these costs shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual.
19.5. Landlord’s Default. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of Notice from Tenant specifying such default, or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days if Landlord fails to commence to cure within that thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute to completion, then Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s breach; provided, however, it is expressly
(P33NM/Office) | Page 21 |
understood and agreed that if Tenant obtains a money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease, that judgment shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits, and other income actually received on account of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Premises, Building or Project, and no other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord (or of any of the partners which comprise Landlord, if any), wherever situated, shall be subject to levy to satisfy such judgment.
19.6. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to send by certified or registered mail to any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary under the circumstances.
19.7. Tenant’s Right to Cure Landlord’s Default. If, after Notice to Landlord of default, Landlord (or any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord) fails to cure the default as provided herein, then Tenant shall have the right to cure that default at Landlord’s expense. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other charges due and payable under this Lease except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.
20. | WAIVER. |
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of such default. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default: it shall constitute only a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved (excluding the collection of a late charge or interest).
No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written acknowledgement from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease.

Nevertheless, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand, without charge therefor, such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases, and to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by Landlord.

In the event of any foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or termination of the lease in which Landlord is lessee, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser, transferee or lessor as the case may be, and recognize that party as Landlord under this Lease, provided such party acquires and accepts the Premises subject to this lease.

Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by a prospective purchaser, assignee or encumbrancer of the Premises.
22.2. Failure to Execute. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such statement within the time required shall at Landlord’s election be a default under this Lease and shall also be conclusive upon Tenant that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance and that Tenant has no right of offset, counter-claim or deduction against Rent and (c) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance.

Landlord and Tenant may from time to time by Notice to the other designate another place for receipt of future Notice.

24. | TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST. |
In the event of any sale or transfer by Landlord of the Premises, Building or Project, and assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of any and all liability and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to the Premises, Building, Project or Lease occurring after the consummation of such sale or transfer, provided the purchaser shall expressly assume all of the covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided all of Landlord’s obligations hereunder are assumed by such transferee. If any security deposit or prepaid Rent has been paid by Tenant, Landlord shall transfer the security deposit or prepaid Rent to Landlord’s successor and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be relieved of any and all further liability with respect thereto.

This indemnification and hold harmless agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for interruption in telecommunications services to Tenant or any other entity affected, for electrical spikes or surges, or for any other cause whatsoever, whether by Act of God or otherwise, even if the same is caused by the ordinary negligence of Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors, or agents or other tenants, subtenants, or their contractors, subcontractors, or agents.
36. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
36.1. Accord and Satisfaction; Allocation of Payments. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent provided for in this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent 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 the Rent or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease.

Such share is a fraction, the numerator of which is the GLA of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the GLA of the Shopping Center, or, if applicable, the GLA of all occupants of the Shopping Center who contribute to Landlord’s Common Area Maintenance Costs (i.e., include anchor tenants who own their parcel but who contribute to the Common Area Maintenance Costs for the Shopping Center).
Real Property Taxes: %. Such share is a fraction, the numerator of which is the GLA of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the GLA of that portion of the Shopping Center for which Landlord is primarily obligated to pay such taxes.
Insurance Costs: %. Such share is a fraction, the numerator of which is the GLA of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the GLA of that portion of the Shopping Center covered by insurance carried by Landlord.
Sewer Costs: %.

4. | DELIVERY OF POSSESSION. |
Delivery of possession shall be deemed to occur on the Commencement Date as set forth in Section 2.3. of this Lease. If for any reason Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, and such failure is not caused by an act or omission of Tenant, the Expiration Date shall be extended by the number of days the Commencement Date has been delayed and the validity of this Lease shall not be impaired nor shall Landlord be subject to any liability for such failure; but Rent shall be abated until delivery of possession. Provided, however, if the Commencement Date has been delayed by an act or omission of Tenant then Rent shall not be abated until delivery of possession and the Expiration Date shall not be extended. If Landlord permits Tenant to enter into possession of the Premises before the Commencement Date, such possession shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent.
In the event Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises following execution of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with entering into this Lease including, but not limited to, broker fees and commissions, sums paid for the preparation of a floor and/or space plan for the Premises, costs incurred in performing Landlord’s Work pursuant to Exhibit “D”, loss of rental income, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other damages for breach of this Lease established by Landlord.
Within ten (10) days after completion of improvements to the Premises as set forth in Exhibit “D”. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant and Tenant shall execute an Acceptance of Premises in which Tenant shall certify, among other things, that (a) Landlord has satisfactorily completed Landlord’s Work, if any, to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit “D”, unless written exception is set forth thereon, and (b) that Tenant accepts the Premises as improved. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver the Acceptance of Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Landlord has satisfactorily completed Landlord’s Work to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit “D”.
5. | INTENDED USE OF THE PREMISES. |
The statement in this Lease of the nature of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises does not constitute a representation or guaranty by the Landlord as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct of such business in the Premises, or that it is lawful or permissible under the Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building, or is otherwise permitted by law. Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that, at the time such possession was taken, the Premises were satisfactory for Tenant’s intended use.
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 4 |
6. | RENT. |
6.1. Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay Rent for the Premises. Monthly Installments of Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month of the Term. If the Term begins (or ends) on other than the first (or last) day of a calendar month, Rent for the partial month shall be prorated based on the number of days in that month. Rent shall be paid to Landlord at the Rent Payment Address set forth in Section 2.9., or to such other person at such place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any prior demand therefor and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America. Tenant shall pay Landlord the first Monthly Installment of Base Rent upon execution of this Lease. All sums, costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees or is obligated to pay to Landlord under this Lease are deemed Additional Rent (which, together with the Base Rent and Percentage Rent are sometimes collectively referred to as Rent).
6.2. Adjusted Base Rent. The amount of Base Rent (and the corresponding Monthly Installments of Base Rent) payable hereunder shall be adjusted commencing on Tenant’s First Adjustment Date and continuing on each Adjustment Date thereafter. Adjustments, if any, shall be based upon increases (if any) in the Index. The Index for the calendar month which is four (4) months before the Commencement Date shall be the Base Index. On each Adjustment Date, the Base Rent shall be increased by a percentage equal to the percentage increase, if any, in the Index in publication four (4) months before the Adjustment Date (the Comparison Index) over the Base Index (Adjusted Base Rent). In the event the Comparison Index in any year is less than the Comparison Index (or Base Index, as the case may be) for the preceding year, the Base Rent shall remain the amount of Base Rent or Adjusted Base Rent payable during that preceding year. When the Adjusted Base Rent payable as of each Adjustment Date is determined, Landlord shall give Tenant a written statement of such Adjusted Base Rent and the manner in which it was computed. The Adjusted Base Rent shall thereafter be the Base Rent for all purposes under this Lease.
6.3. Percentage Rent.
6.3.1. Determination and Payment. During each calendar year or partial calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Percentage Rent Rate of Tenant’s Gross Sales (as hereinafter defined) in excess of the annual breakpoint set forth in Section 2.15. (Percentage Rent). For the purpose of computing Percentage Rent, Gross Sales made during the first partial month, if any, in which Base Rent commences shall be added to the Gross Sales made during the first full calendar month, provided the first partial month is in the same calendar year as the first full month. Tenant’s Gross Sales for any period during which Tenant does not continuously operate its business in accordance with Section 11.6. shall be deemed to be an amount equal to Tenant’s Gross Sales for a corresponding period, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s certified annual statement of Gross Sales as required in Section 6.3.4., Landlord shall determine Tenant’s Percentage Rent for the preceding calendar year or partial calendar year, as the case may be, and Landlord shall invoice Tenant. Percentage Rent, if any, shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of the date of the invoice.
6.3.2. Gross Sales Defined. The term Gross Sales means the gross selling price of all merchandise or services sold, leased, licensed, processed (including transactions consummated via the internet), filled or delivered in or from the Premises by Tenant, its permitted subtenants, assignees, licensees, and concessionaires, whether for cash or on credit (whether collected or not), including the gross amount received by reason of orders taken on the Premises although filled elsewhere, and whether made by store personnel or vending machines. Any transaction on an installment basis, including, without limitation, any lay-away sale or like transaction, or otherwise involving the extension of credit, shall be treated as a sale for the full price at the time of the
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 5 |
transaction, irrespective of the time of payment or when title passes. Gross Sales also shall include any sums that Tenant receives from pay telephones or stamp machines. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in credit card transactions, only the amount actually received by Tenant from the credit card issuer shall be included in the Gross Sales.
If there is a State Lottery, then, only the full amount of compensation and incentive bonuses paid to and received by Tenant for the sale of State Lottery tickets sold from the Premises, as such compensation and bonuses are determined from time to time by the State Lottery Commission and Director and other applicable State laws, shall be included in Gross Sales.
6.3.3. Excluded from Gross Sales. Gross Sales shall not include, or if included there shall be deducted (but only to the extent they have been included), the following:
6.3.3.1. The selling price of all merchandise returned by customers and accepted for full credit, or the amount of discounts, refunds, and allowances made on such merchandise;
6.3.3.2. Merchandise returned to sources or transferred to another store or warehouse owned by or affiliated with Tenant;
6.3.3.3. Sums and credits received in the settlement of claims for loss or damage to merchandise;
6.3.3.4. The cash refund allowed on all merchandise traded in by customers for credit or the amount of credit for discounts and allowances made instead of acceptance of merchandise;
6.3.3.5. Any sums paid to third parties for the use or rental of pay telephones or stamp machines;
6.3.3.6. Gift certificates, or similar vouchers, until such time as they have been converted into a sale by redemption;
6.3.3.7. Sales and use taxes, so-called luxury taxes, consumers’ excise taxes, gross receipts taxes, and other similar taxes now or in the future imposed on the sale of merchandise or services, but only if such taxes are added to the selling price, separately stated, collected separately from the selling price of merchandise or services, and collected from the customers;
6.3.3.8. Sale of fixtures, trade fixtures, or personal property that are not merchandise as allowed in this Lease; or
6.3.3.9. The price of the State lottery tickets sold from the Premises.
6.3.3.10. Receipts from vending machines solely used by Tenant’s employees.
6.3.4. Statement of Gross Sales. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a statement of Tenant’s Gross Sales for the prior calendar year, or partial calendar year as the case may be, within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar year or within twenty (20) days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Each statement shall be signed and certified to be correct by Tenant or its authorized representative, and if Tenant is a corporation, the statement shall be signed and certified to be correct by the appropriate officer of Tenant.
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 6 |
Tenant shall keep full and accurate books of account, records, cash receipts, and other pertinent data showing its Gross Sales and shall notify Landlord in writing of their location. Tenant shall install and maintain accurate receipt-printing cash registers and shall record on the cash registers every sale and other transaction made from the Premises. If Tenant does not install receipt, printing cash registers, Tenant shall use serialized sales slips and shall record every sale and other transaction made from the Premises on such sales slips shall be kept and maintained as required by this Section 6.3.4.
Such books of account, records, cash receipts, and other pertinent data shall be kept for a period of three (3) years after the end of each Lease Year. The receipt by Landlord of any statement, or any payment of Percentage Rent for any period, shall not bind Landlord as to the correctness of the statement or the payment.
6.3.5. Landlord’s Right to Inspect. Landlord shall be entitled, during the Term of the Lease, within the three (3) year period after each successive calendar year or within the three (3) year period following the expiration or termination of this Lease, to inspect and examine all Tenant’s books of account, records, cash receipts, and other pertinent data, so Landlord can verify Tenant’s Gross Sales. Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord in making the inspection. Landlord shall also be entitled, once during each calendar year and once after expiration or termination of this Lease, to an independent audit of Tenant’s books of account, records, cash receipts, and other pertinent data to determine Tenant’s Gross Sales, by Landlord’s accountant. The audit shall be limited to the determination of Gross Sales and shall be conducted during usual business hours at the location of Tenant’s books of account or at such other location as Landlord and Tenant may mutually agree.
If the audit shows there is a deficiency in the payment of any Percentage Rent, the deficiency shall become immediately due and payable. The costs of the audit shall be paid by Landlord unless the audit shows that Tenant understated Gross Sales by more than two percent (2%), in which case Tenant shall pay all Landlord’s costs of the audit.
Landlord shall keep any information gained from such statements, inspection, or audit confidential and shall not disclose it other than to carry out the purposes of this Lease, except that Landlord shall be permitted to divulge the contents of any statements in connection with any financing arrangements or sale of Landlord’s interest in the Premises.
7. | COMMON AREA. |
7.1. Tenant’s Right to Use. Landlord shall have sole and exclusive control of the Common Area; however, Landlord grants to Tenant and its authorized representatives the nonexclusive right to use the Common Area, with others who are entitled to use the Common Area, subject to Landlord’s rights as set forth herein. Landlord reserves the right, however, to exclude certain patrons from the Shopping Center.

Any imposition of parking charges shall be applicable to all occupants of the Shopping Center and shall include a reasonable system of customer parking validation. Unless Tenant refuses to pay the agreed charges imposed by Landlord for the privilege of parking vehicles in the parking areas of the Shopping Center, neither Tenant nor its authorized representatives or invitees shall be prevented from parking in the parking areas as long as space is available and as long as they do not abuse the right to park and do not violate Landlord’s rules and regulations governing the use of the parking areas. Except that by Notice to Tenant, Landlord can prescribe certain sections within the Common Area, or within other property outside the Common Area not more than three miles from the nearest boundary of the Shopping Center, for use as parking spaces by Tenant, its authorized representatives, and its employees, and in such case Tenant shall use, and shall require Tenant’s authorized representatives and employees to use, only those sections for parking. If any off-site parking program or parking validation program or any other such program is implemented by Landlord, Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of the cost to Landlord for such program. Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a list, updated as necessary, of the automobile license numbers of the vehicles customarily used by Tenant and its authorized representatives. Tenant agrees to assume responsibility for compliance by its employees with these parking provisions.
7.2.7. Select a management company, including affiliates of Landlord, to maintain and operate any of the Common Area if at any time Landlord determines that the best interests of the Shopping Center will be served by having any of the Common Area maintained and operated by such a company. Landlord shall have the right to negotiate and enter into a contract with such a company on such terms and conditions and for such period of time as Landlord deems reasonable and proper both as to service and as to cost.

Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Maintenance Costs, Real Property Taxes, Insurance Costs and Sewer Charges during the Term based on the percentages set forth in Section 2. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Maintenance Costs, Real Property Taxes, Insurance Costs and Sewer Charges shall be deemed Additional Rent.

Tenant’s obligation to pay its share of the assessments, as provided in this Section 8.3. shall be calculated on the basis of the amount due if Landlord allows the assessments to go to bond, and the assessment is to
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 9 |
be paid in installments, even if Landlord pays the assessment in full. Real Property Taxes for each tax year shall be apportioned to determine the Real Property Taxes for the subject calendar years.
Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, may contest any taxes levied or assessed against the Shopping Center during the Term. If Landlord contests any taxes levied or assessed during the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord its share of all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the contest based on the Real Property Tax Proportionate Share formula set forth in Section 2.
8.4. Insurance Costs. The term Insurance Costs shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord to obtain and keep in force during the Term of this Lease policies of insurance providing coverage for (a) Commercial General Liability; (b) loss of or damage to the Building, Shopping Center or Complex in such amount or percentage of replacement value as Landlord or its insurance advisor deems reasonable in relation to the age, location, type of construction and physical condition of the Building, Shopping Center or Complex and the availability of such insurance at reasonable rates; and (c) loss of rental income for a period of one year, which insurance shall also cover all Real Property Taxes and Insurance Costs for the same period.
8.5. Sewer Charges. The term Sewer Charges shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord as a result of sewer charges or similar charges levied by the Xxxxx County Sanitation Department, or any other responsible agency or taxing authority. Such charges may fluctuate from time to time as periodic inspections are conducted and adjustments to such charges are made.
8.6. Payment of Common Area Maintenance Costs, Real Property Taxes and Insurance Costs.
8.6.1. Monthly Estimate. On or before the last day of each December during the Term of the Lease or any extended period thereof, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement showing in reasonable detail Landlord’s projected Direct Costs for the ensuing calendar year. Any Direct Costs that are not separately metered or allocated separately as between the office and retail portion of the Complex shall be allocated and apportioned equitably, in good faith, by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such good faith allocation or apportionment by Landlord shall be binding and conclusive. During the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of estimated Direct Costs in advance in equal monthly installments pursuant to the same provisions as Monthly Installments of Base Rent. If during the course of the calendar year Landlord determines that actual Direct Costs will vary from its estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may deliver to Tenant a written statement showing Landlord’s revised estimate of Direct Costs; whereupon payments of Tenant’s Direct Costs shall be adjusted and thereafter paid on the basis of Landlord’s revised estimate.
8.6.2. Annual Reconciliation. On or before the first day of each April during the Term of this Lease or any extended period thereof, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of reconciliation (Reconciliation) showing in reasonable detail Landlord’s actual Direct Costs for the preceding calendar year. In the event such Reconciliation shows that additional sums are due from Tenant, Tenant shall pay such sums to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of such Reconciliation to the end that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant’s share of Direct Costs for the preceding year and no more. In the event such Reconciliation shows that a credit is due Tenant, such credit shall be credited against the next sums becoming due from Tenant, unless this Lease has expired or been terminated pursuant to the terms hereof (and all sums due Landlord have been paid), in which event such sums shall be refunded to Tenant. Neither Landlord’s failure to deliver nor late delivery of the statement of projected Direct Costs nor of such Reconciliation to Tenant shall constitute a default by Landlord or operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect all Additional Rent or sums due hereunder. Tenant agrees that no written request of such Reconciliation shall be made until the Reconciliation for such period shall be due. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s written request therefor, Landlord shall deliver such Reconciliation to Tenant.
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 10 |
8.6.3. Tenant’s Inspection of Reconciliation Accounting Records. So long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of the Lease and provided Notice of Tenant’s request is given to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Reconciliation, Tenant may inspect Landlord’s Reconciliation accounting records relating to Direct Costs at Landlord’s corporate office, during normal business hours, for the purpose of verifying the charges contained in such statement. The audit must be completed within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Notice, unless such period is extended by Landlord (in Landlord’s reasonable discretion). Before conducting any audit however, Tenant must pay in full the amount of Direct Costs billed. Tenant may only review those records that specifically relate to Direct Costs. Tenant may not review any other leases or Landlord’s tax returns or financial statements. In conducting an audit, Tenant must utilize an independent certified public accountant experienced in auditing records related to property operations. The proposed accountant is subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval. The audit shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted rules of auditing practices. Tenant may not conduct an audit more often than once each calendar year. Tenant may audit records relating to a calendar year only one time. No audit shall cover a period of time other than the calendar year from which Landlord’s Reconciliation was generated. Upon receipt thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the audit report and all accompanying data. Tenant and Tenant’s auditor shall keep confidential any agreements involving the rights provided in this section and the results of any audit conducted hereunder. As a condition precedent to Tenant’s right to conduct an audit, Tenant’s auditor shall sign a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. However, Tenant shall be permitted to furnish information to its attorneys, accountants and auditors to the extent necessary to perform their respective services for Tenant.
8.7. Taxes on Tenant’s Use and Occupancy. In addition to the Rent and any other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) which are not otherwise reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties, where such taxes are upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, other than Building Standard Tenant Improvements made by Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant or Landlord; (b) the gross or net Rent payable under this Lease, including, without limitation, any rental or gross receipts tax levied by any taxing authority with respect to the receipt of the Rent hereunder; (c) the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any costs as required under this Lease, the Base Rent shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the reimbursement being unlawful.
8.8. Net Lease. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Lease shall be completely net to Landlord and shall not be terminable for any reason by Tenant, and that Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of or reduction in Rent or other amounts hereunder, except as herein expressly provided regardless of disturbance, prevention, interruption or inconvenience in the use and occupancy of the Premises from any cause whatsoever, whether within or beyond the present contemplations of the parties. With respect to the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary is hereby waived by Tenant, and shall not alter this agreement of the parties.
9. | LATE CHARGES. |
If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amounts or charges which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, then Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such installment if any such installment is not received by Landlord within five (5) days from the date it is due. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease including, without limitation,
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 11 |
administrative costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered as a result of such late payment by Tenant. However, the late charge is not intended to cover Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and costs relating to delinquent Rent. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such late payment by nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Late charges are deemed Additional Rent.
In no event shall this provision for the imposition of a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or an extension of time within which to pay any Rent due hereunder or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay such Rent when due.
10. | SECURITY DEPOSIT. |
Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord a Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 2.18. as security for Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and Landlord shall have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such deposit Tenant shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.
If Tenant fails to timely pay any Rent or other amount due under this Lease, or fails to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have, appropriate and apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit for Rent payments or any other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any amount for which Landlord has become obligated as a result of Tenant’s default or breach, and for any loss or damage sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default or breach. If Landlord so uses any of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited. Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for in Section 22. hereof.
If Tenant defaults under this Lease more than two (2) times during the Lease term, irrespective of whether such default is cured, then, without limiting Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, modify the amount of the required Security Deposit. Within ten (10) days after Notice of such modification, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the required additional sums. Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute an act of default, and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for in Section 22. hereof.
If Tenant complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant is not in default on any of its obligations hereunder, then within the time period statutorily prescribed after Tenant vacates the Premises, Landlord shall return to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last subtenant or assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) the Security Deposit less any expenditures made by Landlord to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant and to clean the Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

In such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or employees, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent to the extent Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of damage and continuing until completion of the repairs required of Landlord under Section 19.4. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents or employees and loss of rental income insurance is denied as a result, there shall be no abatement of Rent.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, in the event of partial or total damage or destruction of the Premises during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, either party shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior Notice to the other party provided such Notice is served within thirty (30) days after the damage or destruction.

19.2. Repair of Premises in Excess of One Hundred Eighty Days. If in Landlord’s opinion, such repairs to the Premises or portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy cannot be completed under applicable laws and regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction is issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect upon Notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this Section 1. If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.
19.3. Repair Outside Premises. If any other portion of the Building or Shopping Center is totally destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord’s opinion repair thereof cannot be completed under applicable laws and regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction is issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect upon Notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this Section 19. If Landlord does not elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.
19.4. Tenant Repair. If the Premises are to be repaired under this Section 19., Landlord shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building and Building Standard Tenant Improvements, if any. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform work other than Landlord’s Work performed previously pursuant to Section 15. hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold Improvements and Tenant’s Property (as well as reconstructing and reconnecting Tenant’s internal telecommunications wiring and related equipment).

Should Tenant fail to provide such Notice to Landlord, then such failure shall be deemed an election by Tenant not to re-occupy the Premises and
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 23 |
Landlord may elect not to perform the repair or replacement of the Premises. Such election shall not result in a termination of this Lease and all obligations of Tenant hereunder shall remain in full force and effect, including the obligation to pay Rent.
19.6. Express Agreement. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises, Building or Shopping Center by fire or other casualty, and any present or future law which purports to govern the rights of Landlord and Tenant in such circumstances in the absence of an express agreement shall have no application.
20. | EMINENT DOMAIN. |
20.1. Lease Controls. If during the Term or during the period of time between the execution of this Lease and the date the Term commences, there is any taking of all or any part of the Building, other improvements or the Shopping Center of which the Premises are a part or any interest in this Lease by condemnation, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
20.2. Whole Taking. If the whole of the Shopping Center, Building or Premises is lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking, and Rent shall be prorated to such date.
20.3. Partial Taking. If less than the whole of the Building or Premises is so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, provided that (a) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking if twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises is taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its business, and (b) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after either such Notice. Rent shall be prorated to the date of termination. If this Lease continues in force upon such partial taking, Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be equitably adjusted according to the remaining GLA of the Premises and Shopping Center.
20.4. Proceeds. In the event of any taking, partial or whole, all of the proceeds of any award, judgment or settlement payable by the condemning authority shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any award, judgment or settlement from the condemning authority; however, Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that Landlord’s award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to Tenant’s Property and damage to Leasehold Improvements installed at the sole expense of Tenant.
20.5. Landlord’s Restoration. In the event e event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to the condemnation or taking; provided however, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform work other than Landlord’s Work performed previously pursuant to Section 15.1. hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of Tenant’s Property and any other Leasehold Improvements.
21. | ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. |
No assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises shall be permitted, except as provided in this Section 21.
21.1. No Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof by any party other than Tenant. Any of the foregoing acts
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 24 |
without such consent shall be voidable and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default hereunder. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assignable by operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord.
21.1.1. For purposes of this Section 21., the following shall be deemed an assignment:
21.1.1.1. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any partners) owning twenty-five (25%) or more (cumulatively) of any interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership;
21.1.1.2. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, any sale or transfer (or cumulative sales or transfers) of the capital stock of Tenant in excess of twenty-five percent (25%), or any sale (or cumulative sales) or transfer of fifty-one (51%) or more of the value of the assets of Tenant provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to corporations the capital stock of which is publicly traded.
21.2. Landlord’s Consent. If, at any time or from time to time during the Term hereof, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, and if Tenant is not then in default under the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request for approval setting forth the terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease, the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and a copy of the proposed form of assignment or sublease. Tenant’s request for consent shall be submitted to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of such transfer. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with such information concerning the business background and financial condition of such proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord may reasonably request Landlord shall have the right to approve such proposed assignee or subtenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event however, shall Landlord be required to consent to any assignment or sublease (a) to an existing tenant in the Complex or (b) that may violate any restrictions contained in any mortgage, lease or agreement affecting the Complex. Landlord’s consent to any assignment shall not be construed as a consent to any subsequent assignment subletting, transfer of partnership interest or stock, occupancy or use.
21.2.1. Landlord’s approval shall be conditioned, among other things, on Landlord’s receiving adequate assurances of future performance under this Lease and any sublease or assignment. In determining the adequacy of such assurances, Landlord may base its decision on such factors as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to:
21.2.1.1. that the source of rent and other consideration due under this Lease, and, in the case of assignment that the financial condition and operating performance and business experience of the proposed assignee and its guarantors, if any, shall be equal to or greater than the financial condition and operating performance and experience of Tenant and its guarantors, if any, as of the time Tenant became the lessee under this Lease;
21.2.1.2. that any assumption or assignment of this Lease will not result in increased cost or expense, wear and tear, greater traffic or demand for services and utilities provided by Landlord pursuant to Section 13. hereof and will not disturb or be detrimental to other tenants of Landlord;
21.2.1.3. whether the proposed assignee’s use of the Premises will include the use of Hazardous Material, or will in any way increase any risk to Landlord relating to Hazardous Material; and
21.2.1.4. that assumption or assignment of such lease will not disrupt any tenant mix or balance in the Shopping Center.
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 25 |
21.2.2. The assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms and conditions set forth in the written request for approval given to Landlord, or, if different, upon terms and conditions consented to by Landlord;
21.2.3. No assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or sublessee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof until an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been delivered to Landlord;
21.2.4. No assignee or sublessee shall have a further right to assign or sublet except on the terms herein contained;
21.2.5. Any sums or other economic considerations received by Tenant as a result of such assignment or subletting, however denominated under the assignment or sublease, which exceed, in the aggregate (a) the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased), plus (b) any real estate brokerage commissions or fees payable to third parties in connection with such assignment or subletting, shall be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease without effecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.
If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord three (3) fully executed original documents (in the form previously approved by Landlord) and Landlord shall attach its consent thereto. Landlord shall retain one (1) fully executed original document. No transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be deemed effective until the terms and conditions of this Section 21. have been fulfilled.
21.3. Tenant Remains Responsible. No subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by an assignee or subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or sublets of the Lease or amendments or modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.
21.4. Payment of Fees. If Tenant assigns the Lease or sublets the Premises or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment, subletting or conversion to a limited liability entity, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, an administrative fee of Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00) plus costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with each such act or request.
22. | DEFAULT. |
22.1. Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
22.1.1. If Tenant ceases to conduct its normal business operations or abandons or vacates the Premises; or
22.1.2. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease and such failure continues for five (5) days after receipt of Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 26 |
22.1.3. If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, if Tenant fails to commence to cure within that thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute to completion.
22.1.4. Tenant’s failure to occupy the Premises within ten (10) days after delivery of possession (as defined in Section 4. hereof).
22.1.5. Tenant’s failure to provide any document, instrument or assurance as required by Sections 15., 18., 21. and/or 38. if the failure continues for three (3) days after receipt of Notice from Landlord to Tenant.
22.1.6. To the extent provided by law:
22.1.6.1. If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease or on substantially all of Tenant’s Property; or
22.1.6.2. If Tenant or Tenant’s Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
22.1.6.3. If Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief or if a petition against Tenant in a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws is filed and not withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or if under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding up of corporations, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction, custody or control of Tenant or any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control remains in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of sixty (60) days; or
22.1.6.4. If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a party, a trustee, receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take charge of the Premises or Tenant’s Property (or has the authority to do so); or
22.1.6.5. If Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one (1) person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is involved in any of the acts or events described in Sections 22.1.6.1. through 22.1.6.4. above.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of the Tenant’s failure to pay rent as and when due under the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately be in default status such that, at Landlord’s option, the five (5) day default notice required herein may be a Five Day Notice as contemplated by N.R.S. Sections 40.250 or 40.253, or may be given simultaneously or may be run concurrently with any Five Day Notice given by Landlord pursuant to either such N.R.S. Sections.
22.2. Landlord Remedies. In the event of Tenant’s default hereunder, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under any law or at equity, Landlord shall have the right to collect interest on all past due sums (at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual), and, at Landlord’s option and without further notice or demand of any kind, to do the following:
22.2.1. Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease; or
22.2.2. Continue this Lease in effect, reenter and occupy the Premises for the account of Tenant, and collect any unpaid Rent or other charges which have or thereafter become due and payable; or
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 27 |
22.2.3. Reenter the Premises under the provisions of Section 22.2.2., and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.
If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of Sections 22.2.2. or 22.2.3. above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the obligation of Tenant to pay any Rent or other charges thereafter accruing unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part of Tenant’s Property in the Premises and to place such property in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant If Landlord elects to relet the Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations or repairs to the Premises; fourth to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of Rent received from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than the amount of the Rent due. Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations and repairs to the Premises which are not covered by the rent received from the reletting.
22.3. Damages Recoverable. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease under the provisions of Section 22.2.2., Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the following:
22.3.1. Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination including the value of any Rent that was abated during the Term of the Lease (except Rent that was abated as a result of damage or destruction or condemnation); plus
22.3.2. Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned between the time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; plus
22.3.3. Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
22.3.4. Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b) maintaining the Premises after Tenant’s default, (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant including any repairs or alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including brokers’ commissions.
“The worth at the time of the award” as used in Sections 22.3.1. and 22.3.2. above, is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual. “The worth at the time of the award” as used in Section 22.3.2. above, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).
22.4. Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and Tenant has not timely cured the default after Notice, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), without waiving such default perform the same for the account and at the expense
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 28 |
of Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs of such performance immediately upon written demand therefor, and if paid at a later date these costs shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual.
22.5. Landlord’s Default. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant condition or agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of Notice from Tenant specifying such default or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days if Landlord fails to commence to cure within that thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute to completion, then Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s breach; provided, however, it is expressly understood and agreed that if Tenant obtains a money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease, that judgment shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits, and other income actually received on account of Landlord’s right tide and interest in the Premises, Building or Shopping Center, and no other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord (or of any of the partners which comprise Landlord, if any), wherever situated, shall be subject to levy to satisfy such judgment.
22.6. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to send by certified or registered mail to any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary under the circumstances.
22.7. Tenant’s Right to Cure Landlord’s Default. If, after Notice to Landlord of default Landlord (or any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord) fails to cure the default as provided herein, then Tenant shall have the right to cure that default at Landlord’s expense. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other charges due and payable under this Lease except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.
23. | WAIVER. |
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of such default The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default: it shall constitute only a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved (excluding the collection of a late charge or interest).
No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written acknowledgement from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease.
Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.
Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Lease.
(1690-016 - Retail) | Page 29 |
24. | SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. |
This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases (including renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof) which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the Building or the land upon which the Building is situated, or both, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever (including renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof) now or hereafter placed on or against the Building or on or against Landlord’s interest or estate therein, or on or against any ground or underlying lease, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Nevertheless, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand, without charge therefor, such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases, and to the lien of any such mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect that this Lease is senior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, or the date of the recording thereof.
In the event of any foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or termination of the lease in which Landlord is lessee, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser, transferee or lessor as the case may be, and recognize that party as Landlord under this Lease, provided such party acquires and accepts the Premises subject to this lease.
