1.
AGREEMENT
1. GRANT OF LEASE. In consideration of the Rent and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and
Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Leased Premises, subject to and in
accordance with the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease.
The Leased Premises is leased to Tenant in its current, as-is condition, without
any warranty as to such condition, and Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected
and accepts the Leased Premises in its current, as-is condition.
2. TERM. The initial term (the "INITIAL TERM") of this Lease shall be
eight (8) years commencing on the date of this Lease (the "COMMENCEMENT DATE")
and expiring on July 19, 2012 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"), unless sooner terminated
as provided herein, and subject to extension by Tenant as provided in Section 3
below.
3. OPTION TO EXTEND. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Initial
Term for one additional five (5) year period (the "EXTENSION TERM") by
delivering written notice to Landlord on or before the date which is one year
prior to the Expiration Date, provided that Tenant is not in default at the time
such notice is given or at the commencement of the Extension Term. The Extension
Term shall be on the same terms and conditions contained herein applicable at
the Expiration Date, except the Rent shall be the then-fair market rental value
for the Leased Premises, which means what a landlord under no compulsion to
lease the Leased Premises and what a tenant under no compulsion to lease the
Leased Premises would determine as rent for the Extension Term, as of the
commencement of the Extension Term, taking into consideration the uses permitted
under this Lease, the quality, size, design, age, and location of the Leased
Premises, and the rent for comparable buildings located in the vicinity of Mira
Loma, California, but excluding any consideration of the value of Tenant's
fixtures, machinery, systems, equipment, and other Tenant's Property,
Alterations or other improvements installed or located by Tenant therein. The
fair market rental value shall be as determined by Landlord in the reasonable
exercise of its real estate business judgment; provided, however, if Tenant
objects to such determination made by Landlord, within ten (10) days after
receipt of written notice of such rental amount by Tenant, each party shall
within fifteen (15) days (after then end of the 10-day period) select an
independent third-party appraiser, which appraisers shall within fifteen (15)
days after their selection select a third independent third-party appraiser who
shall within thirty (30) days after such selection determine the fair market
rental value for the Leased Premises for the Extension Term, which the parties
agree shall be binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Rent for the Extension Term be less than the Rent last in effect prior to the
Extension Term. The Extension Term shall commence at midnight on the date on
which the Initial Term expires and shall continue until the fifth (5th)
anniversary thereof. (The Initial Term and the Extension Term are collectively
referred to herein as the "TERM").
4. OPTION TO TERMINATE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective at any
time prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, with
delivery of at least 120 days' prior written notice to Landlord stating therein
the termination date, upon which date this Lease shall terminate as if such date
were the date originally scheduled for expiration of this Lease; provided,
however, if such termination is to occur at any time during the first two years
of this Lease, Landlord shall
2.
waive monthly payments of Rent (but not Additional Rent) by Tenant for the 120
day period immediately prior to termination.
5. HOLDOVER TENANCY. In the event that Tenant continues to occupy the
Leased Premises beyond the expiration of the Term, such occupancy shall be a
tenancy-at-sufferance, commencing at midnight on the date on which the Initial
Term or Extension Term expires, upon the same terms and conditions as contained
herein, and at a rental rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
Rent paid immediately prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the
Extension Term. This holdover provision does not authorize any holdover
occupancy that is not expressly authorized by Landlord in writing.
6. ANNUAL RENT. During the Term, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord rent (the
"RENT") in the amounts set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, prorated for any
partial months. Rent shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of
each and every calendar month during the Term. The first Rent payment shall be
due on the Commencement Date. If any installment of Rent or other payment is not
paid within five (5) days of the date due, Tenant shall pay a late fee in the
amount of 5% of such payment to offset additional costs incurred by Landlord by
reason of such late payment.
7. NET LEASE. The Rent and other sums and charges to be paid by Tenant as
provided in this Lease shall be absolutely net to Landlord. Except as otherwise
specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, all
costs, charges obligations, taxes, assessments and expenses of every kind and
nature against or relating to the Leased Premises or the use, occupancy,
insurance, maintenance, repair or replacement thereof, which arise or become due
during the Term of this Lease (the "ADDITIONAL RENT"), and Landlord shall have
no obligation therefor. Landlord shall not bear any costs or expenses relating
to the Leased Premises nor provide any services or do any act in connection with
the Leased Premises except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease.
Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to assume any Service
Contracts (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) in connection with
Footstar's sale of the Leased Premises to Landlord.
8. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of One Hundred
Six Thousand Four Hundred and no/100ths Dollars ($106,400.00) (the "SECURITY
DEPOSIT"), which is the equivalent of one month's Rent, as security for the
performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease.
The Security Deposit shall be paid by Tenant in three monthly installments of
$35,467, $35,467, and $35,466 payable respectively with the first three monthly
payments of Rent owed to Landlord during the Initial Term. Upon and during the
continuance of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may,
without prejudice to any other remedy and without waiving such Event of Default,
apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to cure
such Event of Default by Tenant. Following any such application of the Security
Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order
to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. The Security Deposit, or
so much thereof as is then held by Landlord, shall be returned to Tenant,
without interest, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder. If Landlord transfers its
interest in the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease, Landlord may
assign the Security Deposit together with assignment of this Lease to the
transferee, and Landlord thereafter shall have no further liability for the
return of such Security Deposit.
3.
9. TENANT'S USE. Tenant is engaged in the business of providing third
party logistics, distribution and transportation services including, but not
limited to (i) air and ocean freight forwarding worldwide, and (ii)
transloading, warehousing, distributing, providing value added services,
information technology services, and local and long-distance trucking throughout
North America. Tenant may use the Leased Premises for such purposes, or uses
incidental thereto ("TENANT'S USE") and for no other use or purpose. Tenant
shall not be required to continuously occupy the Leased Premises or to
continuously operate its business at the Leased Premises, and may vacate and
cease operations on the Leased Premises, provided that Tenant otherwise complies
with the requirements of this Lease. Tenant shall comply in all respects with
all applicable laws, orders, ordinances, directives, rules, regulations and
requirements of any duly constituted public authority relating to the Leased
Premises and Tenant's use of, and business and operations conducted on or from,
the Leased Premises, and with all recorded covenants, conditions and
restrictions applicable to the Leased Premises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Tenant
shall not be obligated to perform or pay for any repairs or replacements to the
Building or any electrical, mechanical or HVAC components required to bring the
Leased Premises into compliance with laws at the Commencement Date of the Lease,
except if such requirements relate solely to Tenant's use of and business
operations conducted on the Leased Premises. With the prior consent of Landlord
(not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Tenant will have the
right to contest by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith
in the name of Tenant or, with the prior consent of the Landlord (not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in the name of Landlord, or
both, without cost or expense to Landlord, the validity or application of any
law without incurring any lien, charge, or liability of any kind against the
Leased Premises, and without subjecting Tenant or Landlord to any liability,
civil or criminal, for failure to comply.
10. UTILITIES. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for as
Additional Rent all utilities serving the Leased Premises during the Lease.
Tenant may install or cause to be installed any utility service lines and
facilities on the Leased Premises as Tenant in its discretion deems necessary or
desirable, including without limitation the installation of telecommunication
lines and facilities through the exterior walls and on the roof of the Building
(provided that all such work shall be done in accordance with plans and
specifications which have been approved by Landlord as provided herein, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and
provided that, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall remove all such installations
at Lease termination or expiration and repair all damage, unless at the time of
Tenant's request for Landlord's approval Tenant shall have requested and
Landlord shall have agreed that removal of such installations by Tenant will not
be required). Tenant shall contract directly with the utility providers, and pay
when due all charges for gas, electricity, water, sewer, telecommunications and
other utility services used, rendered or supplied to or for the Leased Premises
during the Term.
11. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Tenant shall maintain at Tenant's sole cost
and expense the Leased Premises in the same condition and repair as delivered by
Landlord on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear (which occurs
despite Tenant's performance of its maintenance and repair obligations under
this Lease), damage by casualty to the extent not caused by Tenant or its agents
or invitees, or condemnation, and damage resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord excepted, and will make all repairs, maintenance
and replacements required to maintain such condition. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, costs for
4.
replacement (but not repairs involving no capital improvements) of the roof and
the walls, columns and footings (but not the slab) of the Building shall be
shared between Landlord and Tenant, provided there is an independent written
confirmation of the need therefor, and Tenant's share of such cost shall be
determined by multiplying such cost by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of years (prorated for partial years) remaining in the Term (including
the Extension Term if then or thereafter exercised) and the denominator of which
is 15 in the case of the roof and 20 in the case of walls, columns, and
footings. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant will
surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition and repair as delivered by
Landlord on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear (which occurs
despite Tenant's performance of its maintenance and repair obligations under
this Lease), damage by casualty to the extent not caused by Tenant or its agents
or invitees, or condemnation, and damage resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord excepted. Tenant shall remove the conveyor
systems and related components, and Tenant may remove all other Tenant's
Property and Alterations from the Leased Premises unless the removal thereof
will adversely affect the structure or major systems of the Building. Tenant
will repair any damage occasioned by any removal by Tenant, which obligation
will survive the end of this Lease.
12. TAXES. Tenant shall pay before they become delinquent, as Additional
Rent, all real estate taxes and assessments imposed during the Term upon or
against the Leased Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord reasonable written
evidence of such payment not less than ten (10) business days before the date
such taxes and assessments would be delinquent. It any taxes and assessments may
be paid in installments, then Tenant may pay such taxes and assessments in
installments as long as Tenant provides evidence of payment to Landlord at least
ten (10) days before the date such installments would be delinquent. Taxes and
assessments shall be prorated based on the most recent assessment and levy
between Landlord and Tenant for any partial years of the Lease Term. Tenant
shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to contest any taxes or
assessments levied against the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall cooperate
reasonably with Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in connection with such contest.
Any abatement, reduction or recovery of taxes or assessments applicable to
amounts paid or payable by Tenant shall be payable solely to Tenant. In addition
to payment of real estate taxes, Tenant shall pay when due all personal property
taxes, assessments, fees and assessments due to any owner's association, license
fees and other charges assessed against Tenant's Property located from time to
time on the Leased Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an Event of Default by Tenant
hereunder and continuing after any cure thereof, at Landlord's option, Tenant
shall pay real estate taxes and assessments by making monthly escrow payments to
Landlord, in amounts as are reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time,
with any underpayment or overpayment, and additional payment from or refund to
Tenant reconciled at the time such taxes are paid by Landlord.
13. INSURANCE.
(a) LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. From the Commencement Date and continuing
throughout the Term, Landlord shall maintain "ALL-RISK" property insurance in an
amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Building and any real property
improvements located on the Leased Premises, with such additional coverages
(including, without limitation, earthquake
5.
coverage and rent loss coverage) as Landlord shall elect. Landlord shall upon
Tenant's request, provide Tenant with a copy of Landlord's certificate of
insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such insurance within
thirty (30) days after Landlord provides Tenant invoices or other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Tenant of the cost of insurance.
(b) TENANT'S INSURANCE. From the Commencement Date and continuing
throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain insurance for the full replacement
cost thereof insuring Tenant's Property and any Tenant improvements located on
the Leased Premises, and all property of any other party located on the Leased
Premises for which Tenant has assumed custody or control, as well as commercial
general liability insurance (in primary and/or umbrella policies) covering the
Leased Premises in the amount of at least $10,000,000 for property damage or
bodily injury or death of any one person and $10,000,000 for any one occurrence.
Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured for liability insurance and
provide a certificate of insurance to Landlord upon request. All insurance
required to be maintained hereunder may be provided by blanket insurance
policies.
(c) WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any
and all rights of recovery against the other and against the officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, agents, contractors and representatives of
the other to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against (or is
required hereby to be insured against by the party suffering the loss) in any
insurance policy which either party may have in force at the time of such loss
or damage. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance
required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the
foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained herein. Landlord and Tenant
shall, from time to time, upon request, cause their respective insurers to issue
appropriate waiver of subrogation rights endorsements to all insurance policies
carried in connection herewith.
14. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant fulfills
the conditions and covenants required of it to be performed, Tenant will have
peaceful and quiet possession of the Leased Premises for the Term free from
disturbance or hindrance by any party claiming by, through or under Landlord.
15. NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain from every senior landlord, if any, and every
senior or junior mortgagee and holder of a deed of trust encumbering Landlord's
interest in the Leased Premises (collectively, the "FEE MORTGAGEES"), a
commercially reasonable agreement, in recordable form, wherein each Fee
Mortgagee agrees to not disturb Tenant's possession or use of the Leased
Premises or deprive Tenant of any rights or increase any of its obligations
under this Lease, provided Tenant is not in default of its obligations under
this Lease (the "SUBORDINATION, RECOGNITION AND NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT").
Notwithstanding Landlord's satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, this Lease
shall be subordinate to any Fee Mortgage now existing or arising after the date
of this Lease, or any renewal, extension or replacement thereof only if Landlord
provides Tenant with a Subordination, Recognition and Non-Disturbance Agreement
executed by each Fee Mortgagee. If Landlord fails to provide such Subordination,
Recognition and Non-Disturbance Agreement to Tenant for any Fee Mortgagee
holding a lien or encumbrance senior to this Lease, Tenant shall have the right
at any time thereafter, prior to Tenant's receipt of such agreement, to
terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Landlord,
unless
6.
Landlord shall, within such notice period obtain such Subordination, Recognition
and Non-Disturbance Agreement.
16. IMPROVEMENTS AND ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall have the right to make
alterations, additions and improvements (collectively, the "ALTERATIONS") to the
Leased Premises as Tenant may deem desirable; provided, however, that if the
exterior appearance, or structural elements of the Building, or Building systems
will be affected by such Alterations, or if such Alterations will cost more than
$25,000, Tenant shall give written notice and complete plans and specifications
to Landlord of the proposed Alterations and Landlord shall have 30 days after
the receipt of such notice to consent to or disapprove the Alterations. If
Landlord disapproves such Alterations, Landlord shall detail the reasons for
such disapproval. Any Alterations constructed upon the Leased Premises by Tenant
shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the Term. At Landlord's
request (unless at the time of Tenant's request for Landlord's approval Tenant
shall have requested and Landlord shall have agreed that removal of such
installations by Tenant will not be required), or upon Tenant's election
(notwithstanding any request otherwise by Tenant made at the time of Landlord's
approval), Tenant shall remove the Alterations upon expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and repair any damage caused by such removal.. All
Alterations shall be accomplished by Tenant using adequately insured and bonded
contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, in a good, expeditious, quality and
workmanlike manner, in conformity with applicable laws, regulations, ordinances
and orders and any covenants, conditions and restrictions encumbering the Leased
Premises, and in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by
Landlord as provided above. Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor and
materials related to all Alterations and will not allow any lien to attach to
the Leased Premises, unless Tenant is diligently contesting the removal of such
lien and has provided a bond or other security required under applicable law to
avoid forfeiture of the Leased Premises, or as may otherwise be reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. Landlord may enter upon the Leased Premises for the
purpose of inspecting the work and for posting appropriate notices with respect
to any Alterations, including but not limited to notices of non-responsibility.
The conveyor systems and related components purchased by Tenant from Footstar
shall be removed by Tenant and any damage caused by such removal shall be
repaired by Tenant upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If at any time during the Term, the Leased
Premises or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or other
casualty, Landlord shall within forty-five (45) days from the date of said
damage or destruction notify and inform Tenant as to the amount of time required
for Landlord at its expense to restore the Leased Premises reasonably to the
condition existing prior to such damage or destruction (the "RESTORATION
PERIOD"). If the Restoration Period exceeds two hundred forty (240) days, within
twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice of the Restoration Period, either
party may, by notice to the other party, elect to terminate the Lease, in which
event the parties shall be released from all further obligations and liability
thereunder (except for such obligations that expressly survive termination). If
neither party elects to terminate the Lease, the Lease shall continue, subject
to restoration of the Leased Premises by Landlord within the time period
identified in Landlord's notice as the Restoration Period, as extended by any
events or conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. In the event the
repair or rebuilding of the Leased Premises has not been completed within the
Restoration Period, as extended by any events or conditions beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord, Tenant may: (a) agree to an extension of the
Restoration Period; or (b) terminate this
7.
Lease and the parties shall be released from all further obligations and
liability hereunder (except for such obligations as expressly survive
termination). During any period that the damage or destruction is such as to
render the use of the Leased Premises impractical or impossible, as reasonably
determined by Tenant, the Rent and other charges payable by Tenant shall xxxxx
(proportionate to the portion of the Leased Premises so affected) from the date
of such casualty or damage through the completion of repairs.
18. TENANT'S DEFAULT. In the event Tenant shall fail to pay the Rent when
due or shall fail to perform any of its other obligations under the Lease, after
notice of such default shall have been given as provided below (an "EVENT OF
DEFAULT BY TENANT"), Landlord may elect, without waiver of any other rights or
remedies available to Landlord, to either: (a) re-enter the Leased Premises by
summary or similar proceedings and re-let the Leased Premises, using reasonable
efforts therefor, or (b) to terminate this Lease and obtain possession of the
Leased Premises. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the foregoing remedies,
Landlord may at any time, but shall not be obligated to, cure any default of
Tenant, and in such event, all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Landlord shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant.
In the event Landlord elects to re-enter the Leased Premises, Landlord
may, but shall not be obligated to, make such alterations and repairs as may be
necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises, and relet the Leased Premises
or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the Term of
this Lease) and at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as
Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such
reletting all rentals and other sums received by Landlord from such reletting
shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due
hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and
expenses of such reletting, including reasonable brokerage fees and attorneys'
fees as well as costs associated with any necessary repairs; third, to the
payment of Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if
any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same
may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals and other sums received
from such reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that
month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord on the
Rent payment date provided herein. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
mitigate damages by reletting. If such rentals and sums are more, Tenant shall
have no right to the excess.
If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all costs incurred by Landlord by reason of
Tenant's default, including, without limitation, all costs incurred to relet the
Leased Premises, together with all Rent due to the date of termination, plus an
amount equal to the then-present value (as calculated by Landlord in the
reasonable exercise of its real estate business judgment) of the excess of the
Rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the Term over the fair market
value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Term.
Landlord shall not exercise remedies for default hereunder on the part of
Tenant until 5 days after Tenant's receipt of written notice of any monetary
default, provided that such notice shall not be required to be given by Landlord
more than twice in any 12-month period, and 30 days after Tenant's receipt of
written notice of any non-monetary default, and Tenant within such time shall
have failed to remedy such default. If any default by Tenant, except monetary
8.
defaults, cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days after receipt of such
notice, then Tenant, provided that Tenant is diligently pursuing such cure,
shall have additional time, not in excess of 60 days, as may be reasonably
necessary to cure such default. Landlord shall not exercise any remedies
otherwise available to Landlord under this Lease and/or at law or in equity
without having given the notices and allowed the cure periods expressly set
forth in this Lease. Landlord agrees to accept cure of any Tenant Event of
Default from Footstar; provided that such cure is made within the time allowed
to the Tenant for such cure.
19. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Should Landlord default in the performance of any
of the covenants on the part of Landlord to be kept or performed and such
default shall continue for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from
Tenant stating the nature and extent of the default (an "EVENT OF DEFAULT BY
LANDLORD"), and provided that Landlord is diligently pursuing such cure,
Landlord shall have additional time, not in excess of 60 days, as may be
reasonably necessary to cure such default, Tenant shall, at its option, and in
addition to any other remedy available to Tenant at law or in equity, have the
right to terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice to Landlord, or
cure the Event of Default by Landlord, including, but not limited to, the making
of any repairs or replacements to the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant, on demand, for all of Tenant's reasonable, out-of-pocket
costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may cure any default, with only
such notice to Landlord as is reasonable under the circumstances, where the
failure to promptly cure such default would create or allow to persist a
condition constituting an imminent threat to human health or substantial damage
to property.
Any default notice to landlord shall also be given to any lender for
Landlord with respect to which Landlord gives Tenant notice of such lender's
name and address, and such lender shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to cure such default.
Upon final judicial determination of the validity and amount of any costs
incurred by Tenant in performing any of the Landlord's obligations hereunder as
aforesaid, Tenant may set-off such costs incurred by Tenant against Rent or and
any other payment by the Tenant due or to become due hereunder.
20. CONDEMNATION. If any portion of or interest in the Leased Premises
shall be permanently or temporarily (in excess of 180 days) taken under any
right of eminent domain or any transfer in lieu thereof, and such taking renders
the Leased Premises unsuitable in the reasonable judgment of Tenant for Tenant's
Use, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within thirty
(30) days after such taking of the Leased Premises. All proceeds of such taking
shall be the property of Landlord, except Tenant shall have the exclusive right
to claim any proceeds for the taking of Tenant's Property, the unamortized value
of Tenant's improvements and Alterations, moving expenses, expenses for
disruption and relocation of business, and loss of goodwill, provided that any
such payment to Tenant does not reduce the amount that would otherwise be
payable to Landlord.
21. ASSIGNMENT/SUBLET.
(a) LANDLORD. Except for collateral assignment to a lender to
Landlord, no assignment or transfer of this Lease by Landlord shall be binding
on Tenant unless the assignee
9.
or transferee shall assume and agree to be bound by the terms of the Lease,
including without limitation the provisions of Section 21(c) below, to the
extent of obligations accruing after such assignment.
(b) TENANT. Tenant shall not have the right to assign, mortgage,
sublease or otherwise transfer its interest in the Leased Premises without the
consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, provided, however, that no such assignment or transfer shall relieve
Tenant of any obligations or liability hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant shall have the right, with prior notice to Landlord but without the
consent of Landlord, to assign its rights, privileges and obligations under this
Lease to (i) an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Tenant, (ii) any entity which merges or consolidates with or
acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iii) Footstar as
provided in Section 22 below. In the event of a sublease of the Leased Premises
or an assignment of the Lease by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall share, 60% to
Landlord and 40% to Tenant, in the net rent payable to Tenant, if any, in excess
of the Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, in the case of a
sublease, or in any net consideration paid to Tenant, in the case of an
assignment.
(c) TENANT'S LENDERS. Landlord hereby consents to collateral
assignment of Tenant's interest under this Lease and leasehold interest in the
Leased Premises to Credit Agricole Indosuez, American Capital Financial
Services, Inc., American Capital Strategies, Ltd., for themselves or as
administrative agent(s) for other lenders, or to any substitute, successor or
new lender providing financing or refinancing for Tenant with respect to which
Tenant gives Landlord notice of such lender's name and address ("LENDER"), as
follows:
(i) Tenant may grant to Lender a security interest in, among other
things, (a) its interest under this Lease pursuant to a collateral assignment of
Lease or leasehold deed of trust (the "COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT") and (b) a
security interest in, among other things, some or all of the furniture,
fixtures, equipment, machinery, inventory, products, materials and any and all
other property now owned or after acquired by Tenant that is not a structural
element of the Building and is located on or used in connection with the Leased
Premises, regardless of the method or manner in which such property may be
affixed to the Building, including without limitation any and all warehouse
equipment, industrial equipment, four wall system capabilities (including but
not limited to WMS and WCS systems), material handling equipment, warehouse
supplies, and any and all other property acquired by Tenant pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement or as may be acquired by Tenant from time to time during the
Term of this Lease (collectively, the "TENANT'S PROPERTY"), and in no event
shall Tenant's Property become or be deemed to be fixtures and improvements of
the Leased Premises regardless of the method or manner in which such property
may be affixed thereto. Landlord consents to a Collateral Assignment of this
Lease to Lender, and agrees that if Lender exercises its rights under such
Collateral Assignment and Lender executes and delivers to Landlord a written
assumption of this Lease and all of Tenant's covenants and obligations
hereunder, and performs all of Tenant's covenants and continuing obligations
hereunder, Landlord shall recognize Lender as the "Tenant" under this Lease,
entitled to all of the rights and benefits thereof. Landlord hereby subordinates
all right, title and interest Landlord had, has or may have in and to the
Tenant's Property, including any security interest or landlord's lien, under
this Lease or any renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, substitutions
or replacements thereof, or pursuant to statutory or other law in
10.
favor of Lender's security interest with respect to the Leased Premises which
shall have priority over the interest of Landlord. Tenant shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to transfer, assign, encumber, or remove from
the Leased Premises all or any portion of Tenant's Property.
(ii) If an Event of Default by Tenant shall have occurred and be
continuing hereunder (for purposes of this Section 21(c), a "TENANT DEFAULT"),
Landlord shall send written notice of such Tenant Default to the holder of any
Collateral Assignment at its address as has then been provided to Landlord, as
changed from time to time by written notice to Landlord or as Lender may request
in a writing delivered to Landlord, at the same time that Lender sends such
notice to Tenant, which notice by Landlord to Lender shall be a condition
precedent to any termination of this Lease by Landlord in connection with such
Tenant Default. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure or
remove such Tenant Default within thirty (30) days after delivery of such
written notice from Landlord, and if such default cannot with diligence be cured
within such period, a reasonable time thereafter provided that Landlord is paid
all amounts due to Landlord under the Lease and Lender proceeds promptly to cure
the same and thereafter prosecutes the curing with diligence; provided that if
such Tenant Default is of a nature that it cannot practicably be cured by Lender
without taking possession of the Leased Premises, or of a nature that it is not
susceptible of being cured by Lender, Landlord shall not terminate this Lease by
reason of such Tenant Default, if and so long as Landlord is paid all amounts
due to Landlord under the Lease and:
(A) in the case of a Tenant Default which cannot practicably be cured by
Lender without taking possession of the Leased Premises, (1) Lender shall
deliver to Landlord, within such initial cure period, a written instrument
in which Lender agrees to commence foreclosure proceedings or take any
other steps or actions to obtain possession of the Leased Premises, and
Lender thereafter commences such proceedings or actions within a
reasonable time, diligently prosecutes the same to completion (unless in
the meantime Lender acquires Tenant's interest under this Lease, either in
its own name or through a nominee, by assignment in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise), and upon obtaining possession of the Leased Premises
(including possession by a receiver, nominee or purchaser at a foreclosure
or other sale), diligently proceeds to cure such Tenant Default, and (2)
at all times prior to Lender taking possession of the Leased Premises,
Lender shall cure or remove, in the manner and within the time periods
provided in this Section 21(c), any other Tenant Default which is of a
nature that is susceptible of being cured by Lender and can practicably be
cured by Lender without taking possession of the Leased Premises; or
(B) in the case of a Tenant Default which cannot be cured by Lender, (1)
Lender shall give Landlord a notice as described in clause (A)(1) above,
and shall, within a reasonable time, institute foreclosure proceedings or
take any other steps or actions to obtain possession of the Leased
Premises, and diligently prosecute the same to completion (unless in the
meantime Lender acquires Tenant's interest under this Lease, either in its
own name or through a nominee, by assignment in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise), upon which event Landlord shall be deemed to have waived all
such Tenant Defaults not capable by Lender, and (2) at all times prior to
Lender taking possession of the Leased
11.
Premises, Lender shall cure or remove, in the manner and within the time
periods provided in this Section 21(c), any other Tenant Default that is
capable of being cured by Lender and can practicably be cured by Lender
without taking possession of the Leased Premises.
(iii) Landlord will accept performance by Lender of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of Tenant contained in this Lease with the same effect
as though performed by Tenant.
(iv) If this Lease shall be terminated by Landlord by reason of a Tenant
Default, or in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of this Lease by
Tenant pursuant to any bankruptcy law or other law affecting creditor's rights,
Landlord will enter into a new lease of the Leased Premises with Lender, or any
party designated by Lender, not less than ten (10) days nor more than thirty
(30) days after the request of Lender referred to below, for the remainder of
the Lease Term, effective as of the date of such termination, rejection or
disaffirmance, upon all of the terms and provisions contained in this Lease
(including, without limitation, options to extend the Lease Term), provided that
(A) Lender makes a written request to Landlord for such new lease within thirty
(30) days after the effective date of such termination, rejection or
disaffirmance, as the case may be, and such written request is accompanied by a
copy of such new lease, duly executed and acknowledged by Lender or the party
designated by Lender to be the lessee thereunder, and (B) concurrently with the
signing of such new lease by Landlord, Lender cures all defaults under this
Lease which can be cured by the payment of money and pays to Landlord all Rent
and additional rent which would at the time of such execution by Landlord be due
and payable by Tenant under this Lease but for such termination, rejection or
disaffirmance. Any new lease made pursuant to this Section 21(c) shall have the
same priority with respect to other interests in Leased Premises as this Lease
for a term of years equal in duration to the term of the new lease as the same
may be extended pursuant to the provisions of said new lease. The provisions of
this Section 21(c) shall survive the termination, rejection or disaffirmance of
this Lease and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter to the same
extent as if this Section 21(c) were a separate and independent contract made by
Landlord, Tenant and Lender and, from the effective date of such termination,
rejection or disaffirmance of this Lease to the date of execution and delivery
of such new lease, Lender may use and enjoy the leasehold estate created by this
Lease without hindrance by Landlord. The aforesaid agreement of Landlord to
enter into a new lease of the Leased Premises with Lender shall be deemed a
separate agreement between Landlord and such holder of a Collateral Assignment,
separate and apart from this Lease may not be amended or deleted from this Lease
without the consent of such holder of a Collateral Assignment, and shall be
unaffected by the rejection of this Lease in any bankruptcy proceeding by any
party.
(v) For so long as Lender shall have the right to enter into a new lease
with Landlord pursuant to Section 21(c)(iv), and there shall exist no default
which may be cured by the payment of money, Landlord shall not enter into a new
lease of the Leased Premises with any person other than Lender, its successors
and assigns, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
12.
(vi) Landlord shall have no right in and to the rentals payable to Tenant
under any sublease of all or any part of the Leased Premises, which rentals may
be assigned by Tenant to Lender.
(vii) If Lender notifies Landlord that Tenant has defaulted on its
obligations to Lender, Landlord will permit Lender for a reasonable period of
time to enter the Leased Premises and take possession of, remove, transfer or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Tenant's Property, whether or not a
Collateral Assignment exists, and will not hinder the actions of Lender in
enforcing its security interest, provided Landlord is paid all amounts due
Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, all Rent due for such
period), and provided Lender indemnifies Landlord from any claim, loss or
liability (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to
the activities of Lender pursuant to any such entry and restores any damage to
the Leased Premises caused thereby. Landlord will also in such event, at the
sole option of lender, permit Lender to remain on the Leased Premises for ninety
(90) days after such party declares the default and takes possession of the
Leased Premises, provided Lender pays Rent to Landlord, and performs all other
obligations of the Tenant under the Lease, for the period of time Lender remains
on the Leased Premises.
(viii) The provisions of this Section 21(c) are for the benefit of Lender
and may be relied upon and shall be enforceable by Lender as if Lender were a
party to this Lease. Tenant specifically authorizes Landlord to perform and
observe the provisions of this Section 21(c) and Section 22 below and hereby
releases Landlord from any and all claims and damages incurred by Tenant by
reason of this Section 21(c) or Section 22 below. Neither Lender nor any other
holder of the indebtedness secured by any Collateral Assignment or otherwise
shall be liable upon the covenants, agreements or obligations of Tenant
contained in this Lease, except to the extent provided in this Section 21(c),
unless and until Lender or such holder or owner becomes the lessee hereunder or
assumes such covenants, agreements or obligations as provided above. Lender may,
without affecting the validity of this Section 21(c), extend, amend or in any
way modify the terms of payment or performance of any obligations owed by Tenant
to Lender, without the consent of Landlord and without giving Landlord notice
thereof. The provisions of this Section 21(c) are automatic and self-operative
and do not require the execution or delivery by Landlord of any further document
or instrument evidencing or acknowledging the rights of Lender; however,
Landlord agrees to execute and deliver to Lender any commercially reasonable
documents or instruments reasonably requested by Lender, including the form of
Landlord's Agreement required by Tenant's Lender under Tenant's existing
financing (Credit Agricole Indosuez, American Capital Financial Services, Inc.,
and American Capital Strategies, Ltd.) as the same may be revised by mutual
agreement between Landlord and Tenant's Lender.
22. ASSUMPTION OF LEASE BY FOOTSTAR. In the event Footstar terminates the
Operating Agreement pursuant to Section 13.3 thereof, and provided this Lease is
then in full force and effect and free of defaults, then upon delivery of
written notice to Landlord, Footstar shall have the right to assume all of the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease as if Footstar were the original tenant
hereunder. Landlord agrees that if Footstar delivers to Landlord such notice and
a written assumption of this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder,
Landlord shall recognize Footstar as the "Tenant" under this Lease, entitled to
all of the rights and benefits thereof. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to
Landlord an assignment of this Lease to
13.
Footstar and any other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested
by Landlord relating to the provisions of this Section 22.
23. NOTICES. All notices, demands, or other communications of any type to
the parties herein ("NOTICES") shall be void and of no effect unless given in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease. All Notices shall be legible and
in writing and shall be delivered to the person to whom the Notice is directed,
either in person with a receipt requested therefor or sent by a recognized
overnight courier service for next day delivery or by United States certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the parties at
their respective addresses set forth above, and the same shall be effective (a)
upon receipt or refusal if delivered personally, (b) one (1) business day after
depositing with such an overnight courier service, or (c) five (5) business days
after deposit in the mails if mailed, addressed to Landlord or Tenant. Either
party hereto may change the address for Notice specified above by giving the
other party ten (10) days advance written Notice of such change of address. In
addition, copies of any notice regarding an Event of Default by Tenant shall be
sent to Footstar at Footstar Corporation, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, XX

delivering the Subleased Premises to Subtenant in "AS IS" condition, without
representation or warranty whatsoever and without any obligation of Sublandlord
to perform any alterations or improvements to the Subleased Premises.
Sublandlord shall have no obligation to provide any services to Subtenant other
than as set forth in the Operating Agreement.
6. SUBTENANT'S ALTERATIONS. Subtenant shall not cause or permit the
Subleased Premises to be altered or improved in any way during the Term without
first obtaining the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subtenant shall not cause
or permit any interference with, or disruption of, the business of Sublandlord
or others at the Demised Premises during any period of time in which Subtenant

Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall post a payment and/or performance bond in

accordance with approved plans and specifications. Subtenant shall pay all costs
for work performed by Subtenant or caused to be performed by Subtenant on the
Subleased Premises, and Subtenant shall keep the Subleased Premises free and

for any failure or interruption of (a) any utility service furnished to the

operation of law assign, sublet, mortgage, encumber, license or transfer this
Sublease or any interest therein, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto,
or permit any person other than Subtenant's employees and customers, to occupy
or use the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof without the prior written
consent of Sublandlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

instrument evidencing same shall be void and of no effect, and shall, at the
option of Sublandlord and without prejudice to Sublandlord's other rights and
remedies hereunder or at law or in equity, permit Sublandlord to immediately
terminate this Sublease in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Subleased Premises are located. For purposes of this Section 9, if Subtenant
is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other legal entity,
the transfer of any ownership interest in such entity resulting in a change in
the present control of such entity by the person or persons owning a majority of
the ownership interest thereof as of the date of this Sublease shall be deemed
an assignment requiring the prior written consent of Sublandlord; provided,
however, if Subtenant is a corporation whose stock is traded on a nationally
recognized stock exchange, the transfer of Subtenant's stock shall not
constitute an assignment requiring Sublandlord's consent under this Section 9.
In the event Subtenant receives rent from an assignee, sublessee, licensee, or
other transferee in an amount which exceeds that owed to Sublandlord by
Subtenant under this Sublease, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall share equally in
the excess rental amount and Subtenant shall be deemed to hold Sublandlord's
portion in trust until paid to Sublandlord. No such assignment, sublet or other
transfer as may be consented to by Sublandlord shall relieve Subtenant of any
obligations or liability hereunder, without Sublandlord's express written
consent.
10. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Subtenant shall not cause or permit any
hazardous substances or wastes, or toxic or nontoxic pollutants or contaminants,
which shall include, without limitation, petroleum products and asbestos
(collectively, "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES"), to be brought upon, kept or used in or
about the Subleased Premises or the Demised Premises by Subtenant or its agents,
employees, contractors, invitees, subtenants or licensees, in violation of
applicable laws, codes and ordinances and hereby indemnifies and holds
Sublandlord harmless from any violation hereof.
11. INSURANCE. During the Term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall maintain
the following insurance on the Subleased Premises, naming Sublandlord as an
additional insured: (a)
commercial general liability and property damage insurance in the amount of not
less than $2,000,000.00 for property damage or bodily injury or death of any one
person and $2,000,000.00 for any one occurrence, and $3,000,000 in the aggregate
and (b) all risk coverage insurance together with insurance against sprinkler
damage, vandalism and malicious mischief covering Subtenant's leasehold
improvements, alterations, and additions to the Subleased Premises, trade
fixtures, and personal property from time to time in on or upon the Subleased
Premises, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their full
replacement cost without depreciation. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a
certificate from its insurer declaring such insurance to be in full force and
effect.
12. CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION. In the event of any casualty to or governmental
taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Subleased Premises
substantially interferes with the continued use and occupancy of the Subleased
Premises by Subtenant or its business operations conducted therein, as
determined by Subtenant in its reasonable discretion, for a period of forty-five
(45) days following the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, Subtenant
shall have the right to terminate this Sublease effective as of the date of such
casualty or condemnation upon delivery of written notice to Sublandlord.
Sublandlord shall have no obligation to restore or repair the Subleased Premises
other than as may be determined by Sublandlord in its reasonable discretion and
subject to the rights of Sublandlord under the Lease, and in no event shall
sublandlord have any obligation to repair or replace any equipment, furnishings,
trade fixtures, or other personal property of Subtenant located within the
Subleased Premises or elsewhere on the Demised Premises.
13. INDEMNIFICATION. Subtenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless
Sublandlord against and from any and all claims by or on behalf of any person or
persons, firm or firms, corporation or corporations, arising from Subtenant's
use of the Subleased Premises or the conduct of its business or from any
activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Subtenant in or about
the Subleased Premises, and will further indemnify and save Sublandlord harmless
against and from any and all claims arising from any breach or default on
Subtenant's part in the performance of any covenant or agreement on Subtenant's
part to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Sublease (including without
limitation in connection with any Hazardous Substance), or arising from any act
or negligence of Subtenant, or any of its agents, contractors, servants,
employees or licensees, and from and against all costs, counsel fees, expenses
and liabilities incurred in connection with any such claim or action or
proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Sublandlord by reason of any such claim, Subtenant upon notice from
Sublandlord covenants to resist or defend at Subtenant's expense such action or
proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord. Subtenant hereby
assumes all risk of loss of or damage to property in, upon or about the
Subleased Premises from theft or patent or latent defect in the Demised Premises
or otherwise (which shall include, without limitation, any injury or damage to
persons or property resulting from flood, fire, explosion, falling plaster,
steam, gas, electricity, electrical disturbance, water, rain, snow, leaks from
any part of the Demised Premises or from the pipes or appliances), and Subtenant
hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Sublandlord, and agrees to
defend and save Sublandlord harmless from and against any such claims by others.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out above in this Section 13 or
elsewhere in this Sublease, Subtenant shall have no obligation to indemnify
Sublandlord or save Sublandlord
harmless from any claim of any kind or nature to the extent that such claim
arises out the negligent act or omission of Sublandlord.
14. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Sublandlord and Subtenant and all parties
claiming by or through them mutually release and discharge each other from all
claims and liability arising from or caused by any casualty or hazard covered or
required hereunder to be covered in whole or in part by insurance on the
Demised Premises or in connection with property on or activities conducted on
the Demised Premises, and waive any right of subrogation which might otherwise
exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof.
15. SIGNAGE; EXTERIOR DISPLAYS. Subtenant shall not be permitted to place
any temporary or permanent signage, banners, or other displays on the exterior
of the Subleased Premises or the Demised Premises without first obtaining (a)
the prior written consent of Landlord (if required under the Lease) and
Sublandlord, which consent may be given or withheld by Sublandlord in its
reasonable discretion, and (b) all necessary permits and approvals therefor.
16. SURRENDER OF SUBLEASED PREMISES. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall peaceably surrender the Subleased
Premises broom clean and in good condition and repair, and all alterations and
improvements to the Subleased Premises shall upon the written request of
Sublandlord be promptly removed by Subtenant, ordinary wear and tear and damage
by casualty or condemnation excepted. Subtenant shall immediately repair any
damage caused to the Subleased Premises by reason of the removal of any such
property, and shall otherwise comply with the terms of the Lese with respect to
such removal. In the event that Sublandlord fails to provide such written
request within 10 days after the expiration or earlier termination of the
Sublease, the alterations and improvements made to the Subleased Premises by
Subtenant shall become a part of the Subleased Premises, and shall not be
removed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any trade fixtures, signs and other
personal property of Subtenant not permanently affixed to the Subleased Premises
shall remain the property of Subtenant and may be removed from the Subleased
Premises by Subtenant. If any trade fixtures, signs, and other personal property
are so removed, Subtenant shall immediately repair any damage caused to the
Subleased Premises by reason of the removal of any such property, and shall
otherwise comply with the terms of the Lease with respect to such removal.
17. HOLDING OVER. Subtenant shall not remain in possession of the
Subleased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
without the express written consent of Sublandlord. Should Subtenant hold over
without the express written consent of Sublandlord, such tenancy shall be a
tenancy from month-to-month and in such case, Rent and all other charges due
pursuant to this Sublease shall be payable at 125% of the amount payable during
the last year of the Term and such tenancy shall be subject to every other term,
covenant and provision of this Sublease. In the event Subtenant holds over
without Sublandlord's consent expressed or implied, Subtenant shall be liable
for all of Sublandlord's direct and consequential damages, which shall include,
without limitation, costs, fees, expenses, damages and attorneys' fees incurred
by Sublandlord as a result of Subtenant's holding over, and damages and expenses
incurred by Sublandlord for its inability to deliver possession of the Subleased
Premises to a new subtenant or to Landlord.
18. DEFAULT BY SUBTENANT. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events (in this Section 18 sometimes called an "EVENT OF DEFAULT")
shall constitute a default and breach of this Sublease by Subtenant:
(a) If Subtenant fails to pay Rent or any other amount when due and
payable, and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written
notice thereof is given by Sublandlord to Subtenant.
(b) If Subtenant fails to perform any of Subtenant's nonmonetary
obligations under this Sublease for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof is given by Sublandlord to Subtenant; provided, however, that if
such failure is of the nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such
thirty-day period, then Subtenant shall have such additional time as is
reasonably necessary to cure such failure as long as Subtenant commences to cure
such failure within such thirty-day period and thereafter diligently pursues
such cure to completion.
(c) If (i) Subtenant makes a general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) a petition for adjudication of
bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against
Subtenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) a trustee or
receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Subtenant's
assets located at the Subleased Premises or of Subtenant's interest in this
Sublease and possession is not restored to Subtenant within thirty (30) days; or

or of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease is subjected to attachment,
execution or other judicial or non-judicial seizure which is not discharged
within thirty (30) days.
(d) If Subtenant fails to comply with any applicable terms and
provisions of the Lease or causes or permits any default under the Lease.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Subtenant, and at any time
thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Sublandlord in
the exercise of any other right or remedy which Sublandlord may have,
Sublandlord shall be entitled to exercise the following rights and remedies:
(i) Sublandlord may terminate Subtenant's right to possession
of the Subleased Premises by any lawful means (in which case this Sublease shall
not terminate unless Sublandlord gives written notice to Subtenant of its
intention to terminate this Sublease), in which event Subtenant shall
immediately surrender possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord.
(ii) At any time after an Event of Default, whether or not
Sublandlord shall have terminated this Sublease, Sublandlord shall be entitled
to recover from Subtenant, and Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, on demand,
for damages for Subtenant's default, an amount equal to the then present worth
of (A) the aggregate of the Rent and any other charges to be paid by Subtenant
hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term (assuming this Sublease had not
been terminated), less (B) the fair market rental value of the Subleased
Premises during such period, together with all other damages suffered by
Sublandlord, which shall include, without limitation, all costs of renovating
the Subleased Premises and reletting same and reasonable attorneys' fees.
Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Sublandlord to
prove and obtain, as damages, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any
statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings
in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount is greater
than, equal to or less than the amount referred to above.
All rights, options and remedies of Sublandlord contained in this Sublease
shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be
exclusive of the other, and Sublandlord shall have the right to pursue any one
or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by
law whether or not stated in this Sublease.
19. DEFAULT BY SUBLANDLORD. In the event of any alleged breach by
Sublandlord of its covenants contained in this Sublease, Subtenant shall have
available all rights and remedies provided at law or in equity, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Sublease; provided, however, Subtenant may not
exercise any such right or remedy unless Subtenant has notified Sublandlord by
written notice of such alleged default, and Sublandlord has not cured such
default within the thirty (30) day period subsequent to receipt of such notice
or, in the event such alleged default is of such a nature that it cannot
reasonably be cured within such thirty day period, Sublandlord has failed to
cure such alleged default with all due diligence. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Sublease, in no event shall Subtenant be entitled
to terminate this Sublease or to xxxxx or offset Rent or any other payments to
be made by Subtenant hereunder, except as may be otherwise provided by the law
of the jurisdiction in which the Subleased Premises are located.

Premises, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidation, and extensions thereof. Subtenant agrees
to accept and attorn to any lender or mortgagee who succeeds to the interest of
Sublandlord under the Lease and this Sublease, provided that Subtenant's tenancy
in and occupancy and use of the Subleased Premises shall not disturbed if
