3.01 RENTS. Commencing on the Commencement Date and thereafter during
the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following rents for the Premises (the
"Rents"): (a) the Base Rent, adjusted periodically as set forth in Section 3.04,
which shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the
first day of every calendar month during the Term, and (b) additional rental and
charges ("Additional Rent") consisting of all other sums of money payable by
Tenant under the provisions of this Lease. The first installment of Base Rent
shall be due and payable upon execution of this Lease.
3.02 PAYMENT. Tenant shall pay the Rents when due, without notice or
demand, and without any abatement, deduction or setoff, except as otherwise
specifically set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall pay the Rents in lawful money
of the United States, to Landlord at its office in the Building or to such other
3
person or place as Landlord may designate from time to time. If Tenant pays
Rents by check, the check must clear within five business days or be drawn on a
bank that is a member of the California Bankers Clearing House Association.
3.03 PRORATION. If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the
first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the partial calendar month
shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days within said partial
month, and Tenant shall receive a credit against the monthly installment of Base
Rent next coming due for any overpayment made in the first installment of Base
Rent. If the Term ends or this Lease otherwise terminates on a day other than
the last day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for such last partial month
shall be similarly prorated.
[3.04 ADJUSTMENT OF BASE RENT. The Base Rent shall be adjusted to
reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index as follows:
(a) DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the following
meanings:
(i) "INDEX" means the "Consumer Price Index All
Urban Consumers-Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim
Metropolitan Area" compiled by the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, (1967=100). If
a substantial change is made in the Index, the
revised Index shall be used, subject to such
adjustments as Landlord may reasonably deem
appropriate in order to make the revised Index
comparable to the prior Index. If the Bureau of
Labor Statistics ceases to publish the Index, then
the successor or most nearly comparable index, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, shall be used,
subject to such adjustments as Landlord may
reasonably deem appropriate in order to make the new
Index comparable to the Index.
(ii) "CPI ADJUSTMENT DATE" means January 1 of the
year in which the third anniversary of the
Commencement Date falls, and January 1 of every year
thereafter.
(iii) "CPI Base" means the initial Base Rent amount
set forth in Section 1.03.
(b) COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTMENT. Effective as of each CPI Adjustment
Date, the Base Rent shall be adjusted to an amount to be determined by
multiplying the CPI Base by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
Index for the calendar month in which the CPI Adjustment Date falls, and the
denominator of which shall be the Index for the calendar month in which the
Commencement Date occurs. Such fraction shall not exceed, for any CPI Adjustment
Date, an amount in excess of (A) one hundred percent, plus (B) - percent
4
multiplied by the number of CPI Adjustment Dates that have then occurred
(including the present one). The Base Rent shall never be reduced as a result of
an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph. Landlord shall give Tenant written
notice indicating the adjusted Base Rent and the method of computation, and, on
or before the first day of the first calendar month following Xxxxxx's receipt
of such written notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the
underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant for the period from the CPI Adjustment Date
until such date.] DELETED TEXT
3.05 ADDITIONAL RENT ON ACCOUNT OF OPERATING COST INCREASES. Defined in
terms in this Section 3.05 shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3.06 or
previously in this Lease.
(a) COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT. If, for any Comparison Year, Xxxxxx's
Share of Costs of Operation exceeds Tenant's Share of the Base Costs of
Operation, Tenant shall pay the excess amount to Landlord, as Additional Rent.
Tenant shall pay such Additional Rent in the following manner:
(i) Prior to the commencement of each Comparison
Year, or as soon thereafter as possible, Landlord shall
provide to Tenant a statement showing Landlord's reasonable
estimate of the Costs of Operation for such Comparison Year
and the amount of any Additional Rent to be due from Tenant,
based upon that estimate.
(ii) Commencing on January 1 of the Comparison Year,
and on or before the first day of each calendar month
thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth of the
amount of the estimated Additional Rent due from Tenant for
the Comparison Year, as shown by the statement. If Xxxxxxxx's
statement is furnished after January 1 of a Comparison Year,
on or before the first day of the first calendar month
following Xxxxxx's receipt of Landlord's statement, in
addition to the monthly installment of estimated Additional
Rent for the Comparison Year due on that date, Tenant shall
pay all monthly installments of estimated Additional Rent for
each calendar month or fraction thereof that has already
elapsed in that Comparison Year.
(iii) There shall be a final adjustment after the
end of each Comparison Year, to reflect actual Costs of
Operation, as provided in Sub-section 3.05(c).
(iv) If the Term expires or terminates on a day
other than December 31, the Additional Rent payable under
this Section 3.05 shall be prorated based on a 365-day year.
5
(b) REVISED ESTIMATES. If at any time Landlord receives evidence
indicating an increase in Costs of Operation over its estimate, Landlord may
revise its estimate of Costs of Operation for the Comparison Year. The estimated
amounts of Additional Rent on account of Costs of Operation, and the installment
payments with respect thereto described in Subsection 3.05(a) shall then be
adjusted as necessary to assure that, as nearly as possible, Tenant shall have
paid the full amount of Additional Rent by the end of the Comparison Year.
(c) FINAL STATEMENT. As soon as practicable after the end of the
Base Year and each Comparison Year (including the Comparison Year in which the
Term concludes), Landlord shall present Tenant with a final statement of actual
Costs of Operation for such Base Year or Comparison Year. Within five days of
presentation of the final statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord any amount shown
by such statement to be due and unpaid on account of Additional Rent. Any credit
shown by such statement to be due Tenant for overpayment of Additional Rent
shall be credited against the monthly installments of Additional Rent next
coming due (except that Landlord shall refund to Tenant the amount of any such
credit for the final Comparison Year). Tenant shall have thirty days after
presentation of Landlord's statement of actual Costs of Operation within which
to object in writing to the accuracy of the statement. After expiration of said
thirty-day period, Xxxxxxxx's statement shall be conclusive and binding on
Tenant. Tenant shall make all payments required by this Article 3 pending
resolution of any objection by Xxxxxx.

3.07 GOVERNMENT RENT RESTRICTIONS. If the amount of the Rents payable

restriction limiting the amount of rent or other charges which a commercial
lessor may charge or collect, the amount of Rents payable under this Lease shall
be the maximum permitted by such governmental restriction for the period of time
during which such restriction remains in effect. However, all increases in Rents
provided for in this Lease shall, to the extent permitted by law, be calculated
upon the amount of the Rents which would have been payable in the absence of the
government restriction, and, effective as of the expiration of the government
restriction, the Rents payable hereunder shall be increased to the amount that
would have prevailed had the government restriction never been in effect.
Moreover, to the fullest extent permitted by law, on the first due date for an

Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent an amount equal to the
difference between the amount of Rents which Tenant would have paid if the
government restriction had not been in force and the amount of Rents actually
8
paid by Xxxxxx during the period in which the government restriction remained in

3.08 PARTIAL PAYMENT. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than

shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any
check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept
such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the
balance, treat such partial payment as a default or pursue any other remedy
provided in this Lease or at law.
3.09 LATE CHARGE. If Landlord does not receive a payment of Rents
within ten days after the date that such payment was due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, a late charge of five cents for each dollar so
overdue. Acceptance of the late charge by Landlord shall not cure or waive
Tenant's default or prevent Landlord from exercising any of its rights and
remedies hereunder or at law.
ARTICLE 4
SECURITY DEPOSIT
----------------
4.01 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit as security for the full and faithful
performance and observance of all of Tenant's covenants and obligations under
this Lease. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of Tenant's covenants
and obligations under this Lease, then Landlord may apply all or part of the
Security Deposit to the cost of repairing damage, and cleaning the Premises, or
the payment of any sum which Landlord may expend by reason of Tenant's default,
and otherwise to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage occasioned by
Xxxxxx's default. If Landlord so uses the Security Deposit, Tenant shall
immediately deposit with Landlord the sum necessary to replace the amount used.
If Tenant fully and faithfully complies with all of Tenant's covenants and
obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or balance thereof shall be
returned to Tenant no later than sixty days after expiration of the Term or
earlier termination of this Lease and delivery to Landlord of possession of the
Premises. If Landlord sells or leases Landlord's interest in the Building, the
Security Deposit or remaining balance thereof shall either be returned to Tenant
or delivered to the vendee or lessee, and such delivery shall release Landlord
from all liability to Tenant with respect thereto. Landlord shall not be
required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and shall
not have any trust, fiduciary or other duties concerning the Security Deposit
except as set forth in this Article. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
interest on the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section
1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law now or
hereafter in force regarding security deposits which provide that Landlord may
claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy
defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean
the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may in addition claim those sums
9
reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage,
foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any
officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant.

give Landlord not less than ten days' prior notice of the commencement of any
Alteration work in the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to post
notices of non-responsibility in or about the Premises as provided by law. If
Tenant shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or

and labor for maintenance and repairs that Tenant is required to perform under
this Section. Landlord may, at its option, perform, at Tenant's expense, any
repairs of the Building and its facilities and systems for which Tenant is
responsible but which Tenant has not performed or commenced to perform within
ten days after notice from Landlord to Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
on demand, as Additional Rent, for the costs of such repairs, plus ten percent
of such costs as an allowance for Landlord's overhead and indirect costs.
Landlord may, at its option, before commencing any such work or at any time
thereafter, require Tenant to furnish to Landlord security, in form and amount
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (including, without limitation, a bond
issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in California) to assure
payment by Tenant for such work.
8.03 EXCULPATION OF LANDLORD FOR REPAIRS. Landlord shall have no
liability to Tenant (and Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall in no way
be reduced or abated) by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or
injury to business arising from any maintenance, repairs, alterations, additions
or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises which
Landlord is required or permitted to make by this Lease, or which are required
by law, or which Landlord deems appropriate, except any direct (but not
consequential) damages to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its employees. Landlord shall have the right to erect
scaffolding and barricades in the Premises and the Building for purposes of such
repairs, provided that such structures do not unreasonably impair access to the
Premises. Tenant waives any rights it may have under California Civil Code

Landlord, which Landlord may refuse in its sole discretion, Tenant shall not use
any device in the Premises, including without limitation electronic

Rent, and establish reasonable rules and regulations for the use by Tenant of
heating, air conditioning, ventilation, or freight elevators at any time other

electricity, Landlord may install, at Tenant's expense, a meter to measure the
electricity consumed on the Premises.

liable for any failure to furnish any services or utilities when such failure is
caused by acts of God, accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, other
labor disputes, alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Building, the
inability to obtain an adequate supply of fuel, water, electricity, labor or
other supplies or for any other condition beyond Landlord's control, including
without limitation Tenant's operations or equipment in the Premises or any
15
governmental energy or water conservation program, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to any damages nor shall such failure xxxxx or suspend Xxxxxx's
obligation to pay the Rents or constitute a constructive or other eviction of
Tenant.

the Premises at all times other than Business Hours and shall have the right to
use, without charge therefor, all light, power and water in the Premises
reasonably required to clean the Premises.

about the Building, or if any part of the Building, other than the Premises, is
temporarily or permanently closed or inoperable, the same shall be without
liability to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease. No diminution or shutting off of light, air or

stairways, and other public parts of the Building) as Landlord deems necessary
16
or desirable, provided that Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with
Xxxxxx's use of or access to the Premises.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
---------------------
11.01 RESTORATION. If the Building or the Premises is partially damaged
or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, and if this Lease is not
terminated as provided in this Article, Landlord shall repair the damage and
restore or rebuild the Building or the Premises (except for Tenant's Property),

damage or destruction and the collection of substantially all of the insurance
proceeds receivable on account of the casualty; provided Landlord shall not be
required to expend on such rebuilding or restoration amounts in excess of the
total insurance proceeds collected on account of the casualty.
11.02 RENT ABATEMENT. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.03, if
all or part of the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other
casualty, or if damage by fire or casualty to the Building deprives Tenant of
reasonable access to the Premises for more than five consecutive days, the Base
Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, in the proportion that the
rentable area of the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the total
rentable area of the Premises, for the period from the date of the damage or
destruction to the earlier of (a) the date that any damage to the Premises has
been substantially repaired and Tenant has reasonable access to the Premises, or
(b) the date that Tenant reoccupies the Premises or such portion.
11.03 EXCEPTION TO ABATEMENT. Tenant shall not receive any abatement or
reduction of Base Rent if (a) the Premises are untenantable due to damage or
loss of access for less than five days and the loss of Base Rent is not covered
by Landlord's rental loss insurance; (b) Landlord provides other space in the
Building reasonably suited for the temporary conduct of Tenant's business (but
Landlord shall have no obligation to provide such other space); or (c) by reason
of some act or omission on the part of Tenant, its subtenant or assignee, or its
or their partners, directors, officers, servants, employees, agents or
contractors, either (i) Landlord is unable to collect all of the insurance
proceeds (including, without limitation, rent insurance proceeds) for damage or
destruction of the Premises or the Building, or (ii) the loss of Base Rent is
not covered by Landlord's rental loss insurance. The collection of rent by
Landlord under the circumstances described in clause (c) shall not preclude
Landlord from seeking damages from Tenant or exercising other remedies it may
have under this Lease or under law.
11.04 ELECTION TO TERMINATE.
(a) LANDLORD'S ELECTION TO TERMINATE. If (i) the Building or
the Premises is totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (ii) the
Building is so damaged (whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed)
17
that its repair or restoration requires the expenditure (as estimated by a
reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord) of more than twenty
percent of the full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the
casualty, or (iii) less than two years remains in the Term at the time of the
fire or other casualty and the time necessary to rebuild or repair the Premises,
or (iv) Landlord would be required under Section 11.02 to xxxxx or reduce the
Base Rent for a period in excess of three months if rebuilding or repairs were
undertaken; then, in any of such cases, Landlord may terminate this Lease by
giving Tenant notice to such effect within one hundred eighty days after the
date of the casualty. This Lease shall terminate on the date specified in
Landlord's notice.
(b) TENANT'S ELECTION TO TERMINATE. If (i) the Building or
the Premises is totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (ii) the
Building or the Premises is damaged such that Tenant would be deprived of
reasonable access to and use of the Premises for a period exceeding one hundred
eighty days from the date of the casualty, Tenant may terminate this lease by
giving Landlord notice within sixty days after the date of the casualty, and
this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the notice.
11.05 BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate
this Lease, and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord,
for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Premises or of the Building pursuant to this
Article.
11.06 WAIVER. Tenant hereby waives the application of California Civil
Code Sections 1932 and 1933, and any other law of like import, now or hereafter
in force, to any case of damage to or destruction of the Building or the
Premises by fire or other casualty, or to a taking of all or part of the
Building or the Premises.
ARTICLE 12
EMINENT DOMAIN
--------------
12.01 COMPLETE TAKING. If the whole of the Building or the Premises is
taken by condemnation, sale in lieu of condemnation, or in any other manner for
any public or quasi-public use or purpose ("Eminent Domain"), this Lease and the
Term and estate hereby granted shall terminate as of the earlier of the date of
vesting of title on such taking or the date that the condemning purchasing
authority takes possession ("Date of the Taking").
12.02 PARTIAL TAKING. If only part of the Building or the Land is taken
by Eminent Domain, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, except that
(a) if Landlord determines that it would be economically impractical to operate
the portion of the Building remaining after the taking, Landlord may, at its
option, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to that effect within
ninety days after the Date of the Taking, and (b) if thirty percent or more of
the Premises shall be so taken and the remaining area of the Premises shall not
be reasonably adequate for Tenant to continue operation of its business,
18
Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice to that effect within
ninety days after the Date of the Taking. This Lease shall terminate as of the
date that such termination notice from Landlord or Tenant is given. Upon a
partial taking, where this Lease continues in force as to any part of the
Premises, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share shall be reduced in proportion to the
amount of rentable area so taken.
12.03 AWARD. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or
payment in connection with any taking of the Premises, without deduction for any
estate vested in Tenant by this Lease. Tenant hereby expressly assigns to
Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to every such award or
payment, except that Tenant shall be entitled to any award expressly granted for
the taking of Tenant's Property or interruption of its business or moving
expenses, provided that Xxxxxx's claim does not adversely affect Xxxxxxxx's
award or interfere with Xxxxxxxx's prosecution of its claim for the taking.
12.04 TEMPORARY TAKING. If all or any portion of the Premises is taken
by Eminent Domain for a limited period of time, this Lease and all of Tenant's
obligations hereunder remain in full force and effect. Tenant shall be entitled
to that portion of the award attributable to any period within the Term and for
any damage to Tenant's Property. Landlord shall be entitled to that portion of
the award attributable to the period after the expiration of the Term or to the
Building, other than the Premises, or for any other purpose. If any such
temporary taking terminates prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall
restore the Premises as nearly as possible to their condition prior to the
taking, at Tenant's sole cost and expense if Xxxxxx receives the portion of the
award attributable to such restoration.
ARTICLE 13
SURRENDER OF PREMISES
---------------------
13.01 SURRENDER. On the last day of the Term, or upon any earlier
termination of this Lease, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Premises,
Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to landlord "broom-clean" and in
good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted and also
excepting any damage or destruction caused by fire or other casualty which
Tenant is not obligated by this Lease to repair. Prior to expiration or
termination of the Term, no act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be
deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept
such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Xxxxxxxx.
13.02 REMOVAL OF TENANT'S PROPERTY. Prior to the expiration of the Term
(or immediately upon any earlier termination of this Lease) Tenant, at its
expense, shall remove from the Premises all of Tenant's Property and repair any
damage to the Premises or the Building resulting from the installation or
removal of Tenant's Property. Landlord, at its option, may consider abandoned
items of Tenant's Property that remain in the Premises after the expiration or
19
termination of the Term and such items may be retained by Landlord as its
property or disposed of, without accountability, in such manner as Landlord
shall determine and at Tenant's expense.
13.03 NO MERGER. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the
termination of this Lease prior to expiration of the Term shall not constitute a
merger, and at Landlord's option shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of
any subleases of the Premises.
13.04 NO HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall not hold over after expiration of
the Term. Failure by Tenant to deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord
shall be an unlawful detainer.
ARTICLE 14
DEFAULT BY TENANT
-----------------
14.01 DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall, at
Landlord's option, constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by
Tenant:
(a) any failure to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent when due;
(b) failure to take possession of the Premises within fifteen
days after tendered by Landlord, or abandonment or vacation of the Premises;
(c) failure to observe and perform any other provisions of
this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues
for fifteen days after written notice thereof, provided, however, that if the
nature of such default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such
fifteen-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default under this
Section if Tenant within that period commences to cure the default and
thereafter diligently proceeds to completion within a reasonable time;
(d) making of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a
bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law
relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant,
the same is dismissed within sixty days); appointment of a trustee or receiver
to take possession of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty
days; or attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of Tenant's assets
located at the premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty days;
(e) failure to observe or perform according to the provisions
of Article 7 or Section 5.03 where such failure continues for more than
twenty-four hours after notice from Landlord;
20
(f) service by Landlord of a three-day notice under
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 11 61 on three or more occasions:
(g) committing of waste on the Premises;
(h) hypothecation or assignment of this Lease or subletting
of the Premises, or attempts at such actions, in violation of Article 17; or
(i) payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent more than ten
days after such payment is due on five or more occasions, regardless of whether
Landlord served a three-day notice on Tenant under California Code of Civil
procedure Section 1161 on any such occasion.
The defaults specified in subparagraphs (f) through (i) shall not be curable.
14.02 TERMINATION OF LEASE. In the event of any Tenant default,
Landlord shall have the immediate option, in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity, to terminate this Lease and all
rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Xxxxxx a notice of termination. If Landlord
elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent earned
at the time of such termination; plus
(b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss as Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; plus
(c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
of the detriment proximately caused by Xxxxxx's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely to
result therefrom, plus
(e) such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable California law.
As used in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of award" is
computed by allowing interest from the date of termination until the time of
award at the maximum rate allowable under applicable law, or, if no such maximum
rate applies, at the rate of eighteen percent per annum. As used in subparagraph
21
(c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of award.
14.03 REENTRY BY LANDLORD. In the event of any such default by Tenant,
Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to
reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property. Removed property may
be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at Tenant's cost. No reentry or
taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section shall be
construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such
intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a
court of competent jurisdictions.
14.04 WAIVER OF REDEMPTION. Tenant, on behalf of itself and any and all
persons claiming through or under Xxxxxx, hereby waives and surrenders any right
it might have under any law to redeem the Premises after termination of this
Lease.
14.05 PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD; EXPENSES. If Tenant defaults in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and the default continues
for fifteen days after notice of the default (or without notice in a case of
emergency), Landlord, without waiving or curing such default may (but shall not
be obligated to) perform the defaulted obligation for the account and at the
expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with such performance and all costs and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, of collecting Rents or enforcing Tenant's
obligations under this Lease.
14.06 NO WAIVERS. Xxxxxxxx's failure to insist upon the strict
performance of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or to exercise any
right or remedy given Landlord upon a default by Xxxxxx, or receipt by Landlord
of Rents with knowledge of a breach by Tenant of this Lease, shall not be
construed as a waiver or relinquishment.
14.07 REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE. Xxxxxxxx's rights and remedies herein are
not exclusive, and Landlord may at any time exercise any and all rights and
remedies it may have pursuant to this Lease, at law or in equity.
ARTICLE 15
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
----------------------------
15.01 SUBORDINATION. At Landlord's option, this Lease and all of
Tenant's rights hereunder, shall be subject and subordinate to all present and
future leases of all or any part of the Building or the Land (except for leases
of office or commercial space by other occupants of the Building); existing
present and future mortgages encumbering the Building, the Land or any of such
leases, including mortgages also covering other real property; and all past and
future advances made under such mortgages, all renewals, modifications,
replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and spreaders and
consolidations of such mortgages. This sections shall be self-operative and no
22
further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, in confirmation
of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver
any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the mortgagee
under any such mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may
reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Tenant's failure to execute,
acknowledge or deliver any such instrument within ten days after request
therefor shall constitute a default under this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably
appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instrument for and on behalf of Tenant
in the event of such a default by Xxxxxx, but exercise by Landlord of its
power-of-attorney shall not cure the default. Any lease to which this Lease, at
the time referred to, is subordinate is herein called a "Superior Lease" and the
lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest at the time referred to
is herein called a "Superior Lessor." Any mortgage to which this Lease at the
time referred to is subordinate is herein called a "Superior Mortgage" and the
holder of a Superior Mortgage is herein called a "Superior Mortgagee."
15.02 ELECTION TO SUBORDINATE. By written notice to Tenant, any
Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee may elect to subordinate its Superior
Lease or Superior Mortgage to this Lease.
15.03 NOTICE AND CURE OF LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. If any act or omission of
Landlord would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of
time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total
eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right (a) until it has given written
notice of the act or omission to Landlord and to each Superior Mortgagee and
Superior Lessor whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant,
which notice shall specifically refer to this Section and shall describe
Xxxxxxxx's default with reasonable specificity and detail, and (b) until a
reasonable period for remedying the act or omission shall have elapsed following
the giving of such notice and following the time during which each Superior
Mortgagee or Superior Lessor would be entitled under its Superior Mortgage or
Superior Lease to remedy the act or omission (which reasonable period shall in
no event be shorter than the period during which Landlord would be entitled
under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy). If,
within said reasonable period, such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor
notifies Tenant of its intention to remedy this act or omission, and thereafter
diligently commences the required remedial action and pursues it to completion,
Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease on account of the act or
omission.
15.04 ATTORNMENT. Any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee who
succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through exercise of
remedies in a Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage or by operation of law, is in
this Section called a "Successor Landlord." If a Successor Landlord does not
elect to treat this Lease as extinguished, upon the Successor Xxxxxxxx's
request, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Landlord as Xxxxxx's
landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument
23
that Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence the attornment.
Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord or the Successor Landlord as
Xxxxxx's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver the instrument of attornment on behalf of Xxxxxx. Upon attornment, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect and as a direct lease between the
Successor Landlord and Tenant, upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants
as are set forth in this Lease.
15.05 REQUIREMENTS OF SUPERIOR LESSOR OR MORTGAGEE. If any Superior
Lessor or Superior Mortgagee requires modification of this Lease, Tenant shall,
at Landlord's request, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord instruments
effecting the modifications that the Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee
requires, provided that such modifications do not materially adversely affect
Tenant's rights or increase Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE 16
QUIET ENJOYMENT
---------------
16.01 QUIET ENJOYMENT. As long as Tenant timely pays all the Rents and
performs all of Tenant's other obligations hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance,
ejectment or molestation by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through or
under Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Lease and to Superior Leases
and Mortgages. This covenant runs with the land, and is not a personal covenant
of Landlord, except to the extent of Xxxxxxxx's then-current interest in this
Lease.
ARTICLE 17
ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLEASES
-------------------------
17.01 RESERVATIONS BY LANDLORD. The estate leased to Tenant by this
Lease is limited to the right of Tenant itself and no other person to exclusive
use and occupancy of the office space contained in the Premises, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord reserves to itself the sole right
to grant the use or occupancy of all or part of the Premises to any person other
than Tenant, whether by sublease, assignment, sale, conveyance, license or
otherwise. The right so reserved to Landlord includes, but is not limited to,
all right, title and interest in the excess economic value of the leasehold
estate in the Premises for the Term, including the right and opportunity to
enjoy and realize that value, whether by sublease, assignment, sale, conveyance,
