LEASE
THIS LEASE is made and entered into on the date set forth on the cover
page hereof by Landlord and Tenant.
1. Demised Premises. Landlord hereby leases the Demised
Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases the Demised Premises from
Landlord, for the Term and upon the conditions hereinafter provided. The
Demised Premises are located in the Hillview Shopping Center (the
"Shopping Center"). It is understood and agreed that Landlord will not make,
and is under no obligation to make, any structural or other alterations,
decorations, additions or improvements in or to the Demised Premises except
as set forth in Exhibit B.
2. Term; Renewal Options.
(a) Lease Commencement Date. The Term shall commence on the
Lease Commencement Date and expire at midnight on the Lease Expiration Date
unless extended or earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions contained
herein. The Lease Commencement Date shall be the date Landlord delivers the
Demised Premises to Tenant ready for Tenant to construct its Building which date
shall not be earlier than March 1, 1997. Landlord shall give Tenant at least
fifteen (15) days advance notice of the Lease Commencement Date. Landlord or
Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other if the Lease Commencement
Date has not occurred by July 1, 1997, provided the party exercising the
termination right has proceeded diligently to fulfill all of its obligations
hereunder. The Landlord shall complete the Demised Premises in accordance with
Exhibit B. The Phase One Work (as defined in Exhibit B) shall be substantially
complete as of the Lease Commencement Date.
(b) Rent Commencement Date. The Rent Commencement Date shall
be the later of (i) the 270th day after the Lease Commencement Date, or (ii) the
date a Kohl's store is open for business in the Shopping Center. If the Building
is not "substantially completed" by the Target Rent Commencement Date as a
result of Force Majeure (as defined in Section 40), then the Rent Commencement
Date shall be postponed by the total number of days of Force Majeure, not to
exceed thirty (30) days. For purposes of this Lease, the term "substantially
completed" shall mean that either a temporary or permanent certificate of
occupancy for the Building has been issued by the applicable governmental
authority.
(c) First Amendment to Lease. Within thirty (30) days after
the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a First Amendment
to Lease (substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto) setting forth
the Rent Commencement Date and Lease Expiration Date.
- 1 -
(d) Renewal Options. Tenant shall have the right, at its
option, to extend the Term of this Lease for three additional periods ("Renewal
Terms") of five years each on all of the same terms and conditions herein set
forth, except that the Base Rent payable by Tenant during each Renewal Term
shall be as set forth in the Base Lease Information. Each renewal option shall
be deemed to have been exercised by Tenant unless Tenant, not later than six (6)
months prior to the expiration of the Term (as it may previously have been
extended) in the absence of such exercise, gives notice to Landlord that Tenant
will not exercise its renewal option.
3. Base Rent; Additional Rent; Percentage Rent.
(a) (1) "Base Rent" is the amount set forth in the Basic Lease
Information as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
"Additional Rent" is any and all Percentage Rent (as defined in Section
3(c)(1)), and any and all other payments or charges payable by Tenant hereunder,
other than Base Rent, whether due and payable immediately or in monthly
installments. Throughout the Lease, Base Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Rent."
(2) Base Rent and Additional Rent (where applicable
pursuant to the terms of the Lease) shall be due and payable, in advance, in
equal monthly installments. If the Rent Commencement Date is a date other than
the first day of a month, Rent for the month in which the Rent
Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated on a daily basis based upon a thirty
(30)-day month and shall be paid in advance on or before the Rent Commencement
Date. All payments of Base Rent shall be due on the first day of each and every
calendar month during the Term after the Rent Commencement Date. All payments of
Additional Rent (other than Percentage Rent) shall be due on the first day of
each and every calendar month (except as expressly required herein). All
payments of Rent shall be made to Landlord at Landlord's Address for Notices as
set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other party or at such
other office as Landlord may designate from time to time by written notice to
Tenant. All payments of Rent shall be made without demand, notice or invoice
(except as expressly required herein) and without deduction, set-off or
counterclaim. Except as speci fically provided in Section 22(f) and for
applications of Percentage Rent under Section 3(c) of this Lease, no abatement,
diminution, reduction of Rent, charges or other compensation shall be claimed by
or allowed to Tenant, or any persons claiming under Tenant, under any
circumstance, whether for inconvenience, discomfort, interruption of business,
or otherwise. If Landlord shall at any time or times accept Rent after it shall
become due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse delay upon subse quent
occasion.
- 2 -
(b) Tenant shall pay any installment of Base Rent and any
Additional Rent (whether such Additional Rent is being paid on an installment or
other basis) by check made payable to Landlord and postmarked on or before the
due date.
(c) (1) In addition to Base Rent and any other Additional Rent
payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay as percentage rent ("Percentage Rent"), an
amount equal to the Percentage Rent Multiplier multiplied by the amount, if any,
by which Gross Receipts (as defined below) for such Lease Year exceed the
Breakpoint Amount for such Lease Year.
(2) Statements and payments in respect of Percentage Rent
shall be made by Tenant as follows:
(i) Within thirty (30) days after the end
of each four week accounting period of each Lease Year during the Term,
beginning with the accounting period first ending after the Rent Commencement
Date, Tenant shall submit to Landlord (i) an accurate written statement,
certified as true, complete and correct by the chief financial officer of
Tenant, setting forth the amount of Gross Receipts for such accounting period
and (ii) the Percentage Rent payment for such accounting period. The Percentage
Rent payable for such accounting period shall be an amount equal to (A) the
Percentage Rent Multiplier times the amount, if any, by which (i) the Gross
Receipts for such Lease Year through such accounting period exceeds (ii) the
applicable Breakpoint Amount prorated for the portion of such Lease Year through
such accounting period, less (B) Percentage Rent actually paid for prior
accounting periods for such Lease Year. The Breakpoint Amount shall be pro-rated
on an accounting period basis. The Breakpoint Amount shall be the applicable
Base Rent divided by Three Percent (3%) except that during such Accounting
Periods as Tenant is at all times permitted to sell alcoholic beverages at the
Demised Premises the Breakpoint Amount shall be the Applicable Base Rent divided
by Four Percent (4%). The Percentage Rent shall be separately computed for those
accounting periods of a Lease Year during which Tenant is permitted to sell
alcoholic beverages and those accounting periods of a Lease Year when Tenant is
not permitted to sell alcoholic beverages, but the results shall be netted
together to determine the actual Percentage Rent payable for any Lease Year or
portion of a Lease Year.
(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the end
of each Lease Year during the Term, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written
statement (the "Annual Statement"), certified by Tenant's auditor and chief
financial officer as true, complete and correct and in accordance with Tenant's
books and records, showing in reasonable detail the full amount of the Gross
Receipts during the immediately preceding Lease Year (broken down between
accounting periods during which Tenant was permitted to
- 3 -
sell alcoholic beverages and accounting periods during which Tenant was not
permitted to sell alcoholic beverages) and the Percentage Rent payable and
paid for such Lease Year. If the Percentage Rent for such Lease Year shall
exceed the Percentage Rent theretofore paid in respect of such Lease Year,
the balance due with interest on such balance at the Interest Rate shall be
paid by Tenant with the Annual Statement. Any overpayment of Percentage Rent
disclosed by the Annual Statement shall be applied to the next payment of
Base Rent. Each Annual Statement shall include and reflect data necessary for
an accurate computa tion of the Percentage Rent due under this Lease for
the period covered by such Annual Statement.
(iii) Throughout the Term, Tenant shall
maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, at its general offices a
full, complete and accurate record and account of all sales of food, beverages,
merchandise and services and all sums of money paid or payable for or on account
of or arising out of the business transactions conducted at or from the Demised
Premises. Tenant shall maintain its books and records substan tially in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Tenant shall keep and
preserve, or cause to be kept and preserved, the records applicable to any
12-month period for not less than thirty-six (36) months after the Annual
Statement in respect of such 12-month period is delivered to Landlord. Tenant
agrees that Landlord may inspect Tenant's records relating to the calculation of
Gross Receipts (including daily register reports, credit card receipts, all
sales tax returns, and portions of income tax returns relating to sales) at the
office of Tenant (which shall be located at the Demised Premises or at a
location within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area) upon reasonable advance
notice during normal business hours, provided that, with respect to any
particular Annual Statement, such inspection is made within thirty-six (36)
months after the Annual Statement is delivered to Landlord and is limited to the
period covered by such Annual Statement. Any claim made by Landlord for revision
of any Annual Statement or for additional Percentage Rent, which claim is not
made to Tenant within thirty-six (36) months after the date when the Annual
Statement is delivered to Landlord, shall be and hereby is waived by Landlord.
If it is ultimately determined that there was an error in any of Tenant's
statements prejudicial to Landlord's receipt of Percentage Rent, Tenant shall
pay any differential, plus interest at the Interest Rate from the time such
Percentage Rent was to have been paid until actually paid, on demand as
Additional Rent and if such difference is in an amount equal to more than five
percent (5%) of the amount of Percentage Rent reported by the Annual Statement
for the period covered by the Annual Statement, the expenses of Landlord's audit
shall be paid on demand as Additional Rent by Tenant. Otherwise, the expenses of
Landlord's audit shall be paid by Landlord. In the event of any disagreement in
regard to any claimed revisions, the parties shall submit the disagreement
-4-
to a certified public accountant chosen mutually whose judgment shall be
binding, with the costs of this procedure to be borne equally by the parties.
(3) For purposes of this Lease, the term "Gross Receipts"
shall mean all amounts charged by Tenant and by all licensees,
concessionaires and sublessees of Tenant, arising from all business conducted
upon or from the Demised Premises, whether such business be conducted by Tenant
or by any licensee, concessionaire or sublessee of Tenant, whether such sales
shall be credit or cash sales or otherwise and shall include, but not be limited
to, the amounts received from the sale of food, liquor, goods, wares,
merchandise and services at or on the Demised Premises. Landlord acknowledges
that Tenant's organiza tional structure is such that there may be inventory
transfers between Tenant and any Affiliate of Tenant. For purposes of this
Lease, an "inventory transfer" is a transfer of inventory to an Affiliate made
solely for the convenience of Tenant's business and not for the purpose of
consummating a sale which has been made at, in or from the Demised Premises. For
purposes of this Lease, an "Affiliate" of any entity is any other entity that
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the first entity or
any successor of the first entity. Any and all inventory transfers between
Tenant and any Affiliate of Tenant shall be excluded from the term "Gross
Receipts." Each sale upon credit shall be treated as a sale for the full price
in the month in which such sale shall be made, irrespective of the time when
Tenant or its licensee, concessionaire or sublessee shall receive complete or
partial payment from its customer. "Gross Receipts" shall not include: (i) sales
of merchandise for which cash has been refunded or allowances made on
merchandise claimed to be defective or unsatisfactory or on exchanged
merchandise or allow ances made on merchandise in connection with promotions
and/or discounts; (ii) discounts on the stated sales price which are not
actually charged to the customer or employee; (iii) any and all sums collected
and actually paid out for any sales or excise tax imposed by any federal, state,
municipal or other governmental authority based upon all sales included within
the definition of Gross Receipts as required by law, whether now or hereafter in
force, to be paid by Tenant or collected from its customers; (iv) any tips
collected by employees; and (v) any amounts deposited in pay phones, the jukebox
system (including selector boxes at tables), vending machines, and charitable
collection boxes.
(d) If Tenant fails to pay in the time and manner provided in
Section 3(b) any Rent due hereunder, and such failure to pay continues for ten
(10) days after Tenant receives notice from Landlord thereof, then such Rent
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate from the date
such Rent became due to the date of the payment thereof by Tenant, but in no
event in excess of the highest rate allowed by law. In addition, if Tenant
fails to pay any Rent due hereunder after
- 5 -
receipt of notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period with
respect thereto, then Landlord shall be entitled to collect a late payment
charge in the amount of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) ("Late Payment Charge").
Any written notice to Tenant of a failure to pay Rent timely shall state the
amount of Rent and the per diem interest due. No payment by Tenant of any
interest or Late Payment Charge shall relieve Tenant from the obligation to
make any other payments due under this Section 3 or any other provision of the
Lease. Such interest and Late Payment Charge shall constitute Additional
Rent due and payable with the next monthly installment of Rent following
Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord. If Landlord does
not xxxx Tenant for any interest or Late Payment Charge within ninety (90)
days of its accrual, such fact shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its
right to such interest or Late Payment Charge.
4. Operating Costs; Real Estate Taxes.
(a) Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the
last day of the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent, an annual
charge representing its contribution to the costs of the maintenance and
operation of the Common Areas. Such annual charge (hereinafter called the
"Common Areas Charge") shall be computed as follows: the Common Areas Expenses
(as hereinafter defined) in each calendar year of the Term shall be multiplied
by a fraction ("Tenant's Pro Rata Share"), the numerator of which shall be the
Floor Area of the Building and the denominator of which shall be the total Floor
Area of all buildings in the Shopping Center except that if any other tenant(s)
exercise a right to take over the maintenance of their tracts, the Floor Area of
their buildings shall be excluded for so long as such tenant(s) perform such
maintenance. Landlord from time to time shall estimate the Common Areas Charge
for the remainder of the applicable calendar year and Tenant shall pay the
estimated amount in equal monthly installments over the remaining portion of the
calendar year. Within ninety (90) days after the expiration of each calendar
year, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the actual Common Areas Charge due from
Tenant for such calendar year and such statement shall be binding upon Landlord
and Tenant, subject to Tenant's right to audit the same pursuant to Paragraph
(c) of this Section 4. If the Common Areas Charge for such calendar year shall
be more than the estimated payments by Tenant, Tenant shall promptly pay the
difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand. If the Common Areas
Charge for the applicable calendar year is less than the estimated payment paid
by Tenant for such calendar year, Landlord shall credit Tenant an amount equal
to the difference between the estimated payments made by Tenant and the actual
Common Areas Charge or refund such overpayment within thirty (30) days in the
case of the last year in the Term. If the Rent Commencement Date shall be a day
other than the first day of a calendar month, payment for the first month shall
be made on a pro rata basis and
- 6 -
if the term of this Lease shall end on a day other than the last day of a
calendar month, payment for the last month shall likewise be made on a pro rata
basis.
(b) As used herein, the term "Common Areas Expenses" shall
mean the reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord in the
repair, replacement, maintenance and operation of the Common Areas, as
determined, on a consistent basis, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and shall include, without limit, the following costs and
expenses: charges for electricity for lighting of the Common Areas; the cost of
repairing, maintaining, replacing and operating the Common Areas, including
electrical and storm sewer systems; the cost of general public liability
insurance for the Common Areas; the wages of nonmanagement personnel employed in
cleaning sidewalks and parking areas, snow removal, the removal of trash and
similar work; the cost of maintaining landscaping, if any, in the Common Areas,
including replacement of trees, shrubs, and plants where necessary; the costs of
repairing and replacing sidewalks and parking areas (including parking lot
striping) after the completion of the Landlord's work to be performed pursuant
to Exhibit B; the wages of non-management personnel employed as security
personnel and parking area attendants; the cost of snow removal services; the
cost of miscellaneous repairs to the Common Areas and to signs and fountains, if
any, located therein; the cost of general supplies consumed in the maintenance
and operation of the Common Areas; and a general administrative fee (in lieu of
any other management fees or administrative overhead) equal to five percent (5%)
of the total of all other Common Areas Expenses. There shall be deducted from
the Common Areas Expenses proceeds from insurance and warranty claims. In any
event, the Common Areas Expenses shall not include (i) the cost of the original
site improvements to the Shopping Center, (ii) debt service on indebtedness of
Landlord, (iii) Landlord's cost of any utility or other services, if any,
separately sold by Landlord to Tenant and/or other occupants in the Shopping
Center, (iv) costs incurred by Landlord for alterations, if any, for other
tenants, (v) depreciation of the Shopping Center buildings and major components,
(vi) the cost of any maintenance or services with respect to tracts which are
excluded from the computation of Tenant's Pro Rata Share, (vii) real estate
taxes which are subject to subsection 4(d), and (viii) costs for capital
improvements and/or replacements to upgrade existing facilities, but capital
costs for replacement of the curbs, sidewalks, drainage, lighting and similar
systems and repaving of parking areas and access drives shall be included,
except that, if under generally accepted accounting principles, such expenditure
is not a current expense, then, the cost thereof shall be amortized over a
period equal to the useful life of such improvement, determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and the amortized cost allocated
to each calendar year during the Term, together with an imputed interest
- 7 -
amount calculated on the unamortized portion thereof using an interest rate
which is two percent (2%) below the Interest Rate at the time of the
expenditure, shall be treated as a Common Area Expense.
(c) Tenant shall have the right to audit the Common Areas
Expenses and Tenant's Real Estate Tax Share for any calendar year at any time
within 360 days after the date on which Tenant receives the statement of Common
Areas Expenses. Such audit must be performed either by Tenant's own employees or
by independent contractors who are being paid on a fixed (as opposed to
contingent) fee basis. The cost of any such audit shall be paid by Tenant,
except that, if it is ultimately determined that the Common Areas Charge for any
calendar year was overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of
the audit shall be paid by Landlord. Landlord shall pay to Tenant any
overpayment of Common Areas Charge for the calendar year in question within 30
days after the amount of the overpayment has ultimately been established by the
audit. If Tenant fails to exercise its right of audit within the 360-day period,
the amount of the Common Areas Charge for the calendar year shall be
conclusively established as the amount set forth in the statement of Common
Areas Expenses for such calendar year delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant
to subsection (b). If, however, Tenant timely exercises its right of audit, the
amount of Common Areas Charge for such calendar year shall be conclusively
established as the amount determined as a result of such audit unless, within
180 days after receipt of a report of the same from the auditors selected by
Tenant, Landlord shall contest the amount thereof.
(d) Tenant shall also pay its share ("Tenant's Real Estate Tax
Share") of all taxes, assessments, and other govern mental fees and charges
applicable to the Land and the Building, whether federal, state, county,
municipal, or other authority, and whether assessed by taxing districts or
authorities presently taxing the Land or the Building or the operation thereof
or by other taxing authorities subsequently created or otherwise. Real estate
taxes for the year in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs and for subsequent
calendar years shall be deemed to be the taxes paid in the respective calendar
years, even though the levy or assessment thereof may be for a different fiscal
year; provided, however, that real estate taxes levied for any period prior to
the Rent Commencement Date or after the Lease Expiration Date shall be excluded
from Operating Costs. Real estate taxes for each calendar quarter during the
Term shall be paid by Tenant at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such
taxes are due to be paid to the applicable governmental body, based upon
Landlord's reasonable estimate of such taxes. Tenant's Real Estate Tax Share
shall be the taxes for the portions of the Shopping Center not separately
assessed times the Floor Area of the Building divided by the Floor Area of all
buildings in the Shopping Center which are not separately assessed. Landlord
- 8 -
covenants that taxes attributable to parking areas and open space will be
equitably apportioned among those portions of the Shopping Center which are
separately assessed and those portions of the Shopping Center as to which
Tenant's Real Estate Tax Share is computed.
5. Taxes on Rental.
(a) In addition to the component of Operating Costs respecting
taxes, assessments, etc., Tenant shall pay to the appropriate agency any sales,
excise, public space rentals and other tax (not including, however, Landlord's
income taxes) levied, imposed or assessed on Tenant by any applicable
governmental or other taxing authority upon any rental payable hereunder. Tenant
shall also pay, prior to the time the same shall become delinquent or payable
with penalty, all taxes imposed on its inventory, furniture, trade fixtures,
apparatus, equipment, leasehold improvements installed by Tenant (except to the
extent such leasehold improvements shall be covered by those taxes referred to
in subsection 4(d) hereof), and any other property of Tenant.
(b) Tenant may contest the amount or validity of any real
estate taxes or any taxes referenced in Section 5(a) by appropriate legal
proceeding. However, Tenant shall promptly pay the full amount of such
imposition unless such proceeding shall operate to prevent or stay the
collection or the imposition so contested without payment of the imposition
being required. If such proceeding shall not operate to prevent or stay the
collection of the imposition so contested, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord
the amount so contested and unpaid, which Landlord shall be entitled to utilize
to pay any such assessment or in such other fashion as Landlord may reasonably
deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Demised Premises from attachment,
levy, or other legal proceeding by any tax authority because of Tenant's failure
to pay any such assessment, imposition or charges. Upon the termination of such
proceeding, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord proof of the amount of the
imposition and any such charges as finally determined, and thereupon Landlord
shall, out of the sum so deposited with it by Tenant, pay such imposition and
any such charges and shall refund any balance to Tenant. If the sums deposited
with Landlord are insufficient to pay the full amount of such imposition and
other charges, Tenant shall forthwith pay any deficiency as Additional Rent upon
ten (10) days' written notice by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord, at Tenant's sole
expense, shall join in any such proceeding if any law shall so require.
- 9 -
6. Use of Demised Premises.
(a) Tenant will use and occupy the Demised Premises solely for
use as a full service sit down restaurant (which shall initially be a Silver
Diner) and in accordance with the use permitted under applicable zoning
regulations. Tenant will not use or occupy the Demised Premises for any unlawful
purpose or in any way which will violate the OEA. Tenant will comply with all of
the obligations of the OEA applicable to the Demised Premises except that
Landlord shall be responsible for all maintenance and other obligations for the
parking and common areas.
(b) In regard to the use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) maintain the Demised
Premises in a clean and orderly condition, and (ii) comply with all laws,
ordinances, rules, and regulations of governmental authorities and all
reasonable recommendations of Tenant's casualty insurer(s) and other applicable
insurance rating organizations now or hereafter in effect.
7. Assignment or Subletting.
(a) Tenant shall have no right to assign this Lease or sublet
all or any portion of the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be withheld provided that Tenant is not
in monetary default beyond applicable notice and cure periods and that (i) the
assignee has a verifiable net worth of at least Fifteen Million Dollars, (ii)
the assignee is operating at least six sit down family style restaurants having
total Gross Receipts (for all such restaurants as a group) of at least Ten
Million Dollars per year, and (iii) Tenant continues as an obligor under the
Lease for two (2) years after the assignment.
(b) Except as provided in Section 7(e) below, if Tenant
desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant's desire to do so
at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date thereof. At such time,
Tenant shall also submit to Landlord with the notice such financial statements
and other information to show the then-current net worth and business experience
of the assignee or sublessee. Landlord shall have twenty (20) days from the
receipt of Tenant's notice to notify Tenant whether it consents to the proposed
assignment or sublease. If Landlord fails to respond within such twenty (20)-
day period Tenant shall send Landlord a reminder notice and if Landlord fails to
respond within five (5) days from the receipt of the reminder notice, such
failure shall be deemed Landlord's approval of the proposed assignment or
sublease. The reminder notice shall set forth the deemed approval consequence of
failure to respond. Landlord expressly agrees and acknowledges that it
- 10 -
may not withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or sublet unless it
specifically explains its reasons for withholding consent.
(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, upon the
assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall not be released from any of its
obligations under the Lease. Upon an assignment complying with Section 7(a),
Tenant shall, after such two year period, be released from any and all of its
obligations under this Lease except for any obligations accruing prior to such
assignment. Except as otherwise specifically provided here in, Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall look primarily to the assignee
for relief upon breach of any of the obligations contained in this Lease
subsequent to any permitted assignment.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither
Tenant nor Tenant's successors or permitted assigns, shall assign, mortgage,
give as security, pledge or encumber this Lease, in whole or in part, by
operation of law or otherwise, or sublet the Demised Premises in whole or in
part, or permit the Demised Premises or any portion thereof to be used or
occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each
instance; provided, however, that upon the request of Silver Diner Development,
Inc. or an Affiliate of Silver Diner Development, Inc., Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to a leasehold mortgage (or collateral
assignment of leasehold to a lender) for Silver Diner Development, Inc. or an
Affiliate of Silver Diner Development, Inc.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
this Lease, provided that Tenant is not in monetary default beyond applicable
notice and cure periods hereunder, Tenant shall have the right at any time
during the Term, without Landlord's consent, to assign the Lease to any
Affiliate, franchisee or licensee of Tenant or to any entity with which Tenant
merges or consolidates or to any entity which acquires all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets provided that no such assignment shall be valid if it is a
device to circumvent the restrictions on assignment of this section.
8. Repairs and Maintenance.
Tenant shall, throughout the Term, at its sole cost and
expense, keep and maintain the Demised Premises and Building and all fixtures
and personalty located thereon or appurtenant thereto (including, without
limitation, the Building roof, foundation, structure and the Building
mechanical, electrical, HVAC and plumbing systems) in good order and condition
and shall make all necessary and desirable repairs and replacements thereof and
shall use all reasonable precaution to prevent waste, damage or injury thereto.
- 11 -
9. Initial Site Work.
Landlord shall complete the Demised Premises as set forth on
Exhibit B. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may complete its work with
respect to the Demised Premises after the Lease Commencement Date so long as
such work does not interfere with the construction of the Building by Tenant. In
this connection, Landlord shall provide reasonable means for construction access
and reasonable construction staging areas for Tenant's use in connection with
construction of the Building. In the event that Landlord interferes with, or
delays, Tenant's construction and completion of the Building, Landlord shall
give Tenant a credit of $500 for each day by which Tenant is delayed due to acts
or failures of Landlord. In addition, the Rent Commencement Date shall be
extended by one day for each such day of delay.
10. Signs. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to place and
maintain signs and other advertising matter upon the Demised Premises
subject to applicable law and the OEA. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, maintain such signs and other advertising matter in good condition and
repair. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant in Tenant's efforts to
secure any required OEA and/or governmental approvals for any such signs and
other advertising matter. Tenant's initial signs will be substantially as
depicted on the plans referenced in Exhibit C.
11. Inspection. Tenant will permit Landlord, or its
representative, upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of an
emergency when no such notice shall be required), to enter the Demised Premises
at any reasonable time and from time to time, without charge to Landlord and
without diminution of the Rent payable by Tenant, to examine, inspect and
protect the same or to exhibit the same to prospective lenders or purchasers.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with
Tenant's business in connection with such entry.
12. Insurance.
(a) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and
maintain in effect, throughout the Term, insurance policies providing at least
the following coverage:
(1) A commercial general liability insurance policy, with
broad form property damage endorsement (or a substantially similar policy),
naming Landlord and any mortgagees of the Demised Premises as
additional insureds and protecting Landlord, Tenant and the mortgagees against
any liability for bodily injury, personal injury, death or property damage
occurring upon the Demised Premises, with such policy (together with "umbrella"
policies) to afford protection with a combined
- 12 -
single limit of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence. The policy
shall contain cross-liability and contractual liability endorsements.
(2) A policy of fire and extended coverage and additional
broad perils insurance (i.e., an "all risk" policy) (or a
substantially similar policy) covering all of Tenant's personal property,
including contents, furniture, fixtures, and equipment not permanently attached
to the Building, for not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full
replacement cost.
(3) A policy providing workers' compensation insurance as
required by law.
(4) A policy of fire and extended coverage and additional
broad perils insurance (i.e., an "all risk" policy) (or a
substantially similar policy) covering the Building and the improvements and
betterments thereto, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of
the full replacement cost of the Building and the improvements and betterments
thereto.
(b) All insurance policies required to be maintained under the
terms of this Lease (i) shall be issued in a form reasonably acceptable to
Landlord by a company or companies licensed to do business in the jurisdiction
in which the Demised Premises is located; (ii) shall be procured by Tenant for
periods of not less than one (1) year; (iii) shall be non-assessable; (iv) shall
require thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord of any cancellation
or material change affecting Landlord's coverage under such policy; and (v)
shall not be prejudiced if the insureds thereunder have waived in whole or in
part the right of recovery from any person or persons prior to the date and time
of loss or damage, if any, and/or the insurer waives any rights of subrogation
against Landlord. Upon Land lord's written request, Tenant shall submit a
Certificate of Insurance (or binders) and evidence of payment therefor on or
prior to the Rent Commencement Date.
(c) Tenant shall pay the premiums of all insurance policies
required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder directly to the appropriate
insurance companies. Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall submit
receipts evidencing payment for such insurance policies.
(d) Landlord and Tenant hereby each waive and release the
other from any and all claims against each other for loss or damage to the
Building and other buildings owned by Landlord, and the fixtures, equipment
and/or other personal property arising from a risk insured under "all risk"
coverage, but only to the extent of such party's actual recovery of losses or
damages under such policy.
- 13 -
(e) If at any time the type of insurance required to be
maintained hereunder becomes generally unavailable (for reasons other than the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant), then Landlord and Tenant will
agree on an appropriate substitute whether by insurance, self-insurance or other
alternative.
(f) Neither the issuance of any policy required hereunder nor
the minimum limits specified herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict
Tenant's liability under this Lease.
13. Indemnification.
(a) Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord and hold
Landlord harmless from and against all loss, cost, expense, claims, damages or
liability for or on account of any injury (including death) or damage received
or sustained by any person or persons (including Landlord and any employee,
agent or invitee of Landlord) to the extent that such loss or liability is
caused by reason of any default by Tenant hereunder, or any negligent act,
omission or willful misconduct on the part of the Tenant or any agent,
contractors, servants or employees.
(b) Landlord shall indemnify and defend Tenant and hold Tenant
harmless from and against all loss, cost, expense, claims, damages or liability
for or on account of any injury (including death) or damage received or
sustained by any person or persons (including any employee, agent or invitee of
Tenant) to the extent that such loss of liability is caused by reason of any
default by Landlord hereunder, or any negligent act, omission or willful
misconduct on the part of Landlord or any agent, contractors, servants or
employees.
(c) If either Landlord or Tenant (the "Indemnitee") is made a
party to any litigation commenced against the Indemnitee which falls within the
scope of the foregoing indemnities, then the other party (the "Indemnitor")
shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs, incurred by or imposed upon Indemnitee because of any such litigation,
and the amount of such costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and court costs, shall be a demand obligation owing by Indemnitor to Indemnitee.
14. Liability of Landlord. Except for damages caused by the
negligence or the intentionally wrongful acts or omissions of Landlord,
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, or
customers for any damage, compensation or claim arising from (i) any
interruption in the use of the Demised Premises, (ii) the termination of
this Lease by reason of the destruction of the Building or a taking or sale
in lieu thereof by eminent domain, (iii) any fire, robbery, theft, criminal
act and/or any other casualty, or (iv) any damage caused by other
- 14 -
persons or occupants of adjacent property, or caused by operations in
construction of any private, public or quasi-public work. All personal property
of Tenant or others kept or stored on the Demised Premises shall be kept or
stored at the risk of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, the liability of Landlord hereunder shall be limited
to its interest in the Demised Premises, and Tenant agrees to look solely to
such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this
Lease, it being specifically agreed that in no event shall Landlord (or any
of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint
venturers, members, stockholders, principals or other representatives of
Landlord) ever be personally liable for any such liability.
15. Alterations, Landlord Cooperation.
(a) After the Lease Commencement Date, promptly upon obtaining
all required governmental licenses and approvals, Tenant shall commence and
diligently prosecute to completion the construction on the Land of a Silver
Diner restaurant substantially in accordance with Exhibit C. During the Term,
Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to make or cause to
be made any alterations, betterments or improve ments in or to the Demised
Premises ("Alterations") without Landlord's consent, provided that such
Alterations do not have a material adverse impact upon the value of the Demised
Premises. All Alterations must be constructed in a first class, workmanlike
manner. Tenant may, as part of any Alterations, expand the Building by not more
than 2,000 square feet of floor area provided that, at the time such expansion
is proposed, such floor area has not been previously leased or committed to
others by Landlord and is available under applicable zoning, the OEA, and any
other applicable restrictions. Tenant will not be required to pay any
additional Base Rent due to any such expansion(s) of not more than 2,000 square
feet total. The term "Alterations" does not include any furniture, fixtures and
equipment, any personal property, or any other similar items. Tenant shall not
make any Alterations to the exterior of the Building which (i) are not in good
taste, (ii) materially detract from the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the
Building, or (iii) violate the OEA or any applicable law, ordinance, regulation
or order of a public authority. Tenant will comply with, at its sole cost and
expense, and make any Alterations to the Demised Premises (including structural
alterations and alterations to the Building systems) as may be necessary to
effect compliance with all present and future laws, ordinances, regulations, and
orders of any public authority having jurisdiction over the Demised Premises.
All Alterations to the Demised Premises, made or installed in or about the
Demised Premises by either party shall be surrendered to Landlord with the
Demised Premises as a part thereof upon the expiration or earlier termination of
the Term.
(b) Landlord agrees, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
a written request therefor from Tenant, to execute, acknowledge and deliver (or
join with Tenant in the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of), at Tenant's
sole cost and
- 15 -
expense, any and all (i) applications for licenses, permits, vault space or
other authorizations of any kind or character required by any governmental
authority in connection with the construction, alteration or repair of any
buildings or improvements located on the Demised Premises, (ii) grants or deeds
of easements and/or rights of way for public utilities or similar public
facilities, which, in Tenant's sole discretion, may be useful and/or
necessary in the proper economic and orderly development of the Demised
Premises, and (iii) grants or deeds of dedication where such dedication is
required by any governmental authority in connection with the construction of
buildings or improvements on the Demised Premises. If Landlord fails to
execute, acknowledge and deliver (or fails to join with Tenant in the
execution, acknowledgement and delivery of) any application, deed or other
instrument referred to in this Section 15, within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of a written request from Tenant therefor, Tenant shall have the right
to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such application, deed or other
instrument in the name and on behalf of Landlord, and for that purpose, Landlord
hereby irrevocably appoints Tenant as Landlord's attorney-in-fact to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any such application, deed or other instrument in the
name and on behalf of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant hereby expressly declare
that the foregoing power-of- attorney granted by Landlord to Tenant is intended
to be, and shall be construed for all purposes as, a power coupled with an
interest, shall be and remain in full force and effect throughout the entire
term of this Lease, and shall not be revoked or impaired by Landlord's
dissolution, bankruptcy, or incapacity or for any other reason. In addition,
Tenant shall have the right to seek specific performance of the obligations of
Landlord, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. Tenant agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all liability and
obligation in connection with, or resulting from, the signing of any such
document or instrument.
16. Mechanic's Liens. No work performed by Tenant pursuant to
this Lease, whether in the nature of erection, construction, alteration or
repair, shall be deemed to be for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord,
nor shall Tenant be deemed to be the agent of Landlord in performing such work,
so that no mechanic's or other lien shall be allowed against the estate of
Landlord by reason of any consent given by Landlord to Tenant to improve
the Demised Premises. Tenant shall pay promptly all persons furnishing labor
or materials with respect to any work performed by Tenant or its contractor on
or about the Demised Premises. If any mechanic's or other lien shall at any
time be filed against the Demised Premises by reason of work, labor, services
or materials performed or furnished, or alleged to have been performed or
furnished, to Tenant or to anyone holding the Demised Premises through or under
Tenant, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) business days after receiving notice
thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record or bonded to the
satisfaction of Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If Tenant shall
fail to cause such lien to be so discharged or bonded within such thirty
(30)-day period, then, in addition to any other right or
- 16 -
remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or discharge the same by paying the
amount claimed to be due, and the amount so paid by Landlord, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord either in defending against
such lien or in procuring the bonding or discharge of such lien, together with
interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be due and payable by Tenant to
Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of
notice thereof from Landlord.
17. Services and Utilities.
(a) Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant, cause utilities, as
specified on Exhibit B, to be constructed to within five feet of the Building.
Such utilities shall include water, sanitary sewer, electricity, natural gas,
and telephone. Land lord shall cooperate with Tenant and execute such
documentation as may be necessary to permit water, sewer, gas and electric
utility services to be provided to the Demised Premises with meters to measure
Tenant's use of such services.
(b) Tenant shall pay for all utilities directly to the
appropriate utility company. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant,
and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent shall not be affected, for any failure,
interruption, curtailment, stoppage, suspension or defect in the supply or
character of the utilities furnished to the Demised Premises by reason of any
requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Demised Premises
or otherwise, except as may be the result of the negligence or the intentionally
wrongful acts or omissions of Landlord.
(c) In the event natural gas service is unavailable or cannot
reasonably be obtained by Tenant, then Landlord hereby consents to the
installation of a liquified petroleum gas system (i.e., bottled gas) to service
the Demised Premises. Tenant may install such tanks and pipes as are necessary
in conjunction with such system at a location to be mutually agreed upon by
Landlord, Tenant and the appropriate governmental authorities. Any cost and
expenses associated with the installation and use of a liquified petroleum gas
system, including any increase in insurance premiums for fire and extended
coverage, shall be borne solely by Tenant.
18. Damage by Fire or Casualty.
(a) In the event any improvements on or forming part of the
Demised Premises or Building are damaged or destroyed, partially or totally,
from any cause whatsoever at any time during the Term of this Lease, Tenant
shall, at its own cost and expense, restore and repair the damaged or destroyed
portions of the Demised Premises or Building in conformity with the
provisions of this Lease. In restoring and repairing the damaged
- 17 -
portions of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall repair, restore, and rebuild the
improvements to at least as good condition as existed immediately prior to
such damage or destruction and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. Such repair, restoration and rebuilding (all of which are herein
called "repair") shall be commenced within a reasonable time after such
damage or destruction (not to exceed ninety (90) days after the casualty)
and shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease relating to
construction work by Tenant and shall be pursued diligently to completion.
There shall be no abatement of Rent or of any other obligation of Tenant
hereunder by reason of such damage or destruction.
(b) (1) If at any time during the last two (2) Lease Years of
the Initial Term of this Lease or during any Renewal Term the buildings and
improvements constructed on the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed to the
extent that it would not reasonably be repaired or restored within ninety (90)
days after such damage occurs, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by
giving written notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of such damage or destruction provided Tenant pays to Landlord that portion of
the insurance proceeds which are received by reason of such casualty which do
not exceed the value of the Building prior to the casualty. For the purposes of
the preceding sentence, such insurance proceeds shall not include any business
interruption insurance proceeds.
(2) In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to
this Section, Tenant will raze and remove all of the damaged improvements
and restore such areas to a clean, level and grassed area. If the Lease is not
terminated, Tenant shall be obligated to rebuild, restore and repair the
damaged or destroyed portions of the Demised Premises as set forth in Section
18(a).
(3) The effective date of termination of this Lease shall
be the date that Tenant surrenders to Landlord the Demised Premises in
conformity with the provisions of this Lease, and pays in full all Rent
accrued and due under the Lease as of such date. If Tenant shall terminate this
Lease pursuant to this Section, all Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder
shall be prorated as of the termination date, and Landlord shall make an
equitable refund of any Rent paid by Tenant in advance and not yet earned.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 18(b), Tenant
hereby waives any and all rights provided by law to Tenant to terminate this
Lease upon the partial or total destruction of the Demised Premises, whether now
existing or hereinafter enacted.
- 18 -
19. Default of Tenant.
(a) Defaults.
(1) If (i) Tenant shall fail to pay in the manner provided
in Section 3 any installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent (whether such
Additional Rent is being paid on an installment or other basis) payable
hereunder, or any other charge due hereunder (although no demand has been
made therefor except as expressly required herein), or (ii) Tenant shall
breach, violate or otherwise fail to perform any of the other conditions,
covenants, agreements or obligations contained herein to be performed by Tenant,
or (iii) Tenant shall be liquidated or dissolved (if a corporation or other
entity), or (iv) Tenant should cease to operate as a viable restaurant for any
consecutive six (6)-month period (other than (A) in order to renovate or
refurbish the Demised Premises, (B) in the event of a Force Majeure (as defined
in Section 40), or (C) to permit a permitted transferee, pursuant to Section 7,
to renovate or refurbish the Demised Premises), then such failure, breach,
violation, occurrence or condition shall constitute a default of the Lease.
(2) It shall be an Event of Default if a default pursuant
to Section 19(a)(1)(i) continues for a period of ten (10) days after written
notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord, or a default pursuant to Section
19(a)(1)(ii) or (iv) shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord, provided that if such a default
under Section 19(a)(1)(ii) or (iv) will take longer than this thirty (30)-day
period to cure, Tenant shall have such longer period as may be reasonably
required to effectuate such cure, as long as such cure is commenced within such
thirty (30)-day period, and such cure is prosecuted diligently to completion.
(b) Remedies.
(1) Continue Lease. The Landlord may, at its option,
continue this Lease in full force and effect, without terminating the Tenant's
right to possession of the Demised Premises, in which event the Landlord
shall have the right to collect rent and other charges when due. In the
alternative, the Landlord shall have the right to peaceably re-enter the Demised
Premises on the terms set forth in subparagraph (b)(2) below, without such
re-entry's being deemed a termination of the Lease or an acceptance by the
Landlord of a surrender thereof. The Landlord shall also have the right, at its
option, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, to relet the Demised
Premises, or any part thereof, with or without legal process, as the agent, and
for the account, of the Tenant upon such terms and conditions as the Landlord
may deem advisable, in which event the rents received on such reletting shall
be applied (i) first to
- 19 -
the reasonable and actual expenses of such reletting and collection,
including without limitation necessary renovation and alterations of the
Demised Premises, reasonably determined by the Landlord to be desirable,
reasonable and actual attorneys' fees, and any reasonable and actual
leasing commissions paid (including leasing commissions payable to a partner,
officer or shareholder of the Landlord), and (ii) thereafter toward payment of
all sums due or to become due the Landlord hereunder. If a sufficient sum to
pay such expenses and sums shall not be realized or secured in the Landlord's
exercise of its reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages, then the Tenant
shall pay the Landlord any such deficiency monthly, and the Landlord may, at
the sole cost and expense of the Tenant, including attorney's fees, bring an
action therefor as such monthly deficiency shall arise. Nothing herein,
however, shall be construed to require the Landlord to re-enter and relet
in any event, except as provided by applicable law. The Landlord shall
not, in any event, be required to pay the Tenant any sums received by the
Landlord on a reletting of the Demised Premises in excess of the rent provided
in this Lease. The Landlord's re-entry and reletting of the Demised
Premises without termination of this Lease shall not preclude the Landlord
from subsequently terminating this Lease as set forth below.
(2) Terminate Lease. The Landlord may terminate this
Lease by written notice to the Tenant specifying a date therefor, which
shall be no sooner than ten (10) days following receipt of such notice by the
Tenant, and this Lease shall then terminate on the date so specified as if such
date had been originally fixed as the expiration date of the Term. In the event
this Lease shall be terminated as provided above, by summary proceedings or
otherwise, the Landlord, its agents, employees or representatives may
immediately or at any time thereafter peaceably re-enter and resume possession
of the Demised Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom, either by
summary dispossession proceedings or by other suitable action or proceeding at
law without liability for damages therefor. Upon such termination, the Tenant
shall remain liable for all rent that would be due hereunder but for such
termination, and at the Landlord's option, subject to applicable law, the
Landlord may accelerate all amounts of rent due hereunder or that would have
been due hereunder but for the occurrence of the event of default; provided,
however, that damages shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 19(b)(4) below.
(3) Reimbursement of Landlord's Costs in Exercising
Remedies. Landlord may recover from the Tenant, and the Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord upon demand, such reasonable and actual expenses as the Landlord
may incur in recovering possession of the Demised Premises, placing the same in
good order and condition and repairing the same for reletting, all other
reasonable and actual out of pocket expenses, commissions
- 20 -
and charges incurred by the Landlord in exercising any remedy provided herein or
as a result of any event of default by the Tenant hereunder (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees).
(4) Damages. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2), the Tenant nevertheless shall remain liable
for any Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent and damages which may be due or
sustained by Landlord and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses including,
but not limited to, attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
pursuit of its remedies hereunder, or in renting the Premises to others from
time to time (all such Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent, damages, costs,
fees and expenses being referred to herein as "Termination Damages") and
additional damages (the "Liquidated Damages"), which, at the election of
Landlord, shall be an amount equal to the present worth (as of the date of such
termination) of Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent which, but for termination
of this Lease, would have become due during the remainder of the Term, less the
fair rental value of the Demised Premises, as determined by an independent real
estate appraiser named by Landlord, in which case such Liquidated Damages shall
be payable to Landlord in one lump sum on demand and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate until paid. For purposes of this paragraph, "present worth" shall
be computed by discounting such amount to present worth at a discount rate then
in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank nearest to the location of the Shopping
Center.
If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 19(b)(2),
Landlord may relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, alone or together
with other premises, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than
the period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term) and
on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions of free rent and
alterations of the Demised Premises) as Landlord, in its absolute
discretion, may determine, but Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall the
Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by
Landlord to relet the Demised Premises or any failure by Landlord to collect any
rent due upon such reletting.
(5) Remedies Are Cumulative. The various rights and
remedies reserved to the Landlord herein, including those not specifically
described by law in force and effect at the time of the execution hereof, are
cumulative, and the Landlord may pursue any and all rights and/or remedies,
whether at the same time or otherwise.
(6) Waiver of Rights of Redemption. To the extent
permitted by law, the Tenant waives any and all right of redemption granted by
or under any present or future laws if the
- 21 -
Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause or if the Landlord obtains
possession of the Demised Premises due to an Event of Default hereunder or
otherwise.
(c) Effect of Cure. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Lease to the contrary, in the event that Tenant cures a default with respect to
any matter prior to the institution of litigation by Landlord with respect to
such default, whether or not such cure is completed prior to the expiration of
any applicable notice and cure periods, the default shall be deemed cured as if
it had been cured prior to the expiration of such applicable notice and cure
periods, and Landlord shall not have the right to terminate the Lease as a
result of such default.
20. Waiver. If under the provisions hereof Landlord or Tenant
shall institute proceedings and a compromise or settlement thereof shall be
made with respect to any matter, the same shall not constitute a waiver of
any covenant herein contained nor of any of Landlord's or Tenant's rights
hereunder with respect to any other matter. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant
of any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement herein contained shall
operate as a waiver of such covenant, condition or agreement itself, or of
any subsequent breach thereof. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a
lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base Rent or any Additional
Rent shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated
Base Rent and Additional Rent nor shall any endorsement or statement on any
check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any Base Rent or
Additional Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept
such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the
balance of such Base Rent or Additional Rent or to pursue any other remedy
provided in this Lease, except as otherwise provided herein. Tenant hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption it may have under applicable
law.
21. Subordination and Attornment.
(a) Landlord warrants and represents that there are no holders
of any deeds of trust, mortgages or other security interests (collectively, the
"Superior Instruments") covering the Building and/or Land or any interest of
Landlord therein (collectively, the "Holders of Superior Instruments"). Landlord
shall obtain and deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit E hereto from Key Bank or such other construction lender as
Landlord may borrow from within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the date
of this Lease, or (ii) the date of such loan. If Tenant has not received such
non-disturbance agreement by such date, Tenant may at its option terminate this
Lease by notifying Landlord of such election in writing. In the event of such
termination neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or
liabilities hereunder.
- 22 -
(b) This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any future
Superior Instruments which may from time to time during the Term cover the
Building and/or the Land, or any interest of Landlord therein, and to any
advances made on the security thereof, and to any refinancings, increases,
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any of
such future Superior Instruments, provided that, if Tenant is not in default
beyond any applicable cure period, then as a condition of such subordination
being effective, the Holder of such Superior Instrument shall have executed,
acknowledged and delivered to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement substantially
in the form of Exhibit E. Upon execution and delivery of such non-disturbance
agreement, this Section 21(b) shall be self-operative and no further instrument
shall be required to effect such subordination of this Lease. Upon demand,
however, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord any further
instruments and certificates evidencing such subordination as Landlord, or such
Holder of the Superior Instrument may reasonably request.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 22(a), any Holder of
a Superior Instrument shall have the right, unilaterally, at any time to
subordinate fully or partially any such Superior Instrument to this Lease. Upon
request Tenant shall execute an instrument confirming any such subordination by
any Holder of a Superior Instrument. At any time, before or after the
institution of any proceedings for the foreclosure of any such Superior
Instrument, or sale of the Building under any such Superior Instrument, Tenant
shall attorn to such purchaser upon any such sale or the grantee under any deed
in lieu of such foreclosure and shall recognize such purchaser or grantee as
Landlord under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives the right, if any, to elect to
terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Demised Premises in the
event of the judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of any deed of trust,
mortgage, or security agreement (or any transfer in lieu thereof). The foregoing
agreement of Tenant to attorn shall survive any such foreclosure sale, trustee's
sale, or conveyance in lieu thereof. Tenant shall upon demand at any time,
before or after any such foreclosure sale, trustee's sale, or conveyance in lieu
thereof, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord's mortgagee or any
successor thereof, any written instruments and certificates evidencing such
attornment as such Holder of a Superior Instrument may reasonably require.
22. Condemnation.
(a) Total Condemnation. If during the Term of this
Lease, fee title to all of the Demised Premises or to all of the improvements,
or the entire leasehold estate of Tenant is taken under the power of eminent
domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity (a "Total Taking"), this
Lease shall terminate
- 23 -
as of 12:01 A.M. on the date legal title becomes vested in the agency or entity
exercising the power of eminent domain. Thereafter, both Landlord and Tenant
shall be released from all obligations under this Lease, except those
specified elsewhere herein.
(b) Taking - Parking Area. If, at any time during the Term of
this Lease, a taking occurs that is less than a Total Taking and said taking
affects the Demised Premises' Parking Areas (as identified on the Site Plan),
all compensation and damages payable on account of such taking of the Parking
Areas shall be paid to Landlord but used, to the extent reasonably needed, to
repair any portion of the remaining Parking Areas damaged by the taking and to
replace the Demised Premises' Parking Areas taken with other new parking areas
for the benefit of Tenant on the portion of the Shopping Center not taken,
provided that replacement is then permitted by existing law. Plans and
specifications for the replacement parking areas must be first approved in
writing by Tenant which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Partial Taking - Improvements. If at any time during the
Term of this Lease a taking occurs that is less than a Total Taking and said
taking affects the Building, all compensation and damages payable for that
taking (excluding any portion payable for a taking of parking areas) shall be
paid to Tenant but will be used to the extent reasonably needed by Tenant to
repair the Building or replace the portion taken with other new improvements on
the portion of the Demised Premises not taken, provided that replacement is then
permitted by existing law. Plans and specifications for replacing the restaurant
must be compatible, in terms of architecture and quality of construc tion, with
the portion of the restaurant not taken and must be first approved in writing by
Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph, if any taking renders the remainder
of the Demised Premises, in Tenant's good faith judgment, unusable for Tenant's
business operations, Tenant may terminate this Lease in the manner prescribed in
Section 22(d) of this Lease.
(d) Termination for Partial Taking. Tenant may terminate this
Lease for the reasons stated in either Section 22(a) or 22(c) of this Lease, or
both, by serving written notice of termination on Landlord within sixty (60)
days after Tenant has received from Landlord or from the condemning authority
written notice of a definite taking setting forth the date of the taking, and/or
a copy of the condemnation proceedings as filed in the appropriate court and the
extent and scope of such taking. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this Section 22, the effective date of termination shall be the
earlier of the date of termination specified in the Tenant's notice to Landlord
or the date the condemning authority takes physical possession of
- 24 -
the portion of the Demised Premises taken by eminent domain. On termination of
this Lease pursuant to this paragraph, all subleases and subtenancies in or on
the Demised Premises, if any, or any portion or portions of the Demised Premises
created by Tenant under this Lease shall also terminate and the Demised Premises
shall be delivered to Landlord free and clear of all such subleases and
subtenancies. Tenant shall demolish the remainder of the Building and remove all
debris from the Demised Premises, but shall not be required to remove site
improvements or to landscape the Demised Premises. On termination of this Lease
pursuant to this paragraph, both Landlord and Tenant shall be released from all
obligations to the other under this Lease except those specified elsewhere in
this Lease.
(e) Condemnation Award. Any compensation or damages
awarded or payable because of the taking of all or any portion of the Demised
Premises by eminent domain shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant and
paid in the following priority:
(1) All compensation or damages awarded or payable for the
taking by eminent domain of any land that is part of the Demised Premises shall
be paid to and be the sole property of Landlord, free and clear of any claim of
Tenant or any person claiming rights to the Demised Premises through or
under Tenant.
(2) Improvements constructed or located on the portion of
the Demised Premises taken by eminent domain when only a portion of the
Demised Premises is taken by eminent domain and Tenant is not entitled to or
does not terminate this Lease shall be applied in the manner specified in
Section 22(b) or Section 22(c) toward the replacement of those improvements with
equivalent new improvements on the remaining portions of the Demised Premises.
(3) All compensation or damages awarded or payable because
of the Demised Premises taken by eminent domain when this Lease is terminated
because of the taking by eminent domain, whether all or only a portion of the
Demised Premises is taken by eminent domain, shall be allocated between Tenant
and Landlord as follows:
(i) Tenant shall be entitled to recover
from any award up to an amount equal to the unamortized cost of the portion of
the improvements taken which were constructed by Tenant at the time of the
taking.
(ii) The balance of any award after
deducting the amount described in (i) above shall be the sole property of
Landlord.
(iii) The term "time of taking" as used in
this subparagraph shall mean 12:01 A.M. of whichever of the
- 25 -
following shall first occur: the date that title, or the date that physical
possession of the portion of the Demised Premises on which the improvements
are located is taken by the agency or entity exercising the eminent domain
power.
(4) Any damages awarded or payable for relocation due to
Tenant's termination of the Lease as permitted hereunder shall be the sole and
separate property of Tenant.
(f) Rent Abatement for Partial Taking. If title and possession
of only a portion of the Demised Premises is taken under the power of eminent
domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity during the term of this
Lease and Tenant does not or cannot terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall
terminate as to the portion of the Demised Premises taken under eminent domain
as of 12:01 A.M. on whichever of the following first occurs: the date title is
taken, or the date actual physical possession of the portion taken by eminent
domain is taken, by the agency or entity exercising the eminent domain power.
Furthermore, the Rent payable under this Lease shall, as of that time, be
reduced in the same proportion that the area of the portion of the Demised
Premises taken by eminent domain bears to the full area of the Demised Premises
at that time. Nothing contained herein shall require Tenant to pay any amount
out of pocket for the replacement of any improvement; provided, however, there
shall be no abatement in the event the taking covers a portion of the Demised
Premises that does not adversely affect the improvements.
23. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that it has
the right to make this Lease for the Term and that Tenant, upon paying Rent
and complying with its other obligations set forth in this Lease, shall during
the Term freely, peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of
the Demised Premises without molestation or hindrance by Landlord or any
party claiming through or under Landlord.
24. Sale or Transfer. Landlord may freely sell, assign or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its interest in this Lease or in
the Demised Premises, the Building or the Land, and in the event of any
such sale or transfer the landlord whose interest is thus sold or transferred
(the "Selling Landlord") shall be and hereby is completely released and
forever discharged from and in respect of all covenants, obligations and
liability as Landlord hereunder, except for any obligations accruing
prior to such transfer. Thereafter, Tenant shall attorn and be bound to
such purchaser with the same effect as though the latter had been the original
Landlord hereunder, provided that such purchaser assumes and agrees to carry
out the obligations of Landlord hereunder.
- 26 -
25. No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture of or between
Landlord and Tenant, or to create any other relationship between the parties
hereto other than that of landlord and tenant.
26. No Other Rights Acquired. No rights, privileges,
easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant pursuant to this Lease
except as herein expressly set forth. This Lease shall not be binding on the
parties until and unless this Lease is fully executed and delivered by the
parties hereto.
27. Brokers. Landlord shall pay Legend Properties, Inc. a
brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Landlord and Tenant each
represents and warrants one to the other that if either has engaged any other
broker or agent in carrying on the negotiations relating to this Lease, it
will pay any brokerage commission payable to said broker or agent. Any such
broker or agent is identified in the Basic Lease Information. Landlord shall
indemnify and hold Tenant harmless, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless, from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other
commissions arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing representation
and warranty by the respective indemnitors.
28. Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if delivered by hand, or by
overnight courier, or by telecopier (with telephonic confirmation and
follow-up hard copy), or when received (or when delivery is refused) if sent
by certified mail return receipt requested, (i) if to Landlord, to Landlord's
Address for Notices set forth in the Basic Lease Information, and (ii) if to
Tenant, at Tenant's Address for Notices set forth in the Basic Lease
Information, unless notice of a change of address is given pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 28. Notice shall be deemed to have been given upon
receipt or at the time delivery is refused.
29. Estoppel Certificates. Landlord and Tenant agree at any time
and from time to time (but not more than three (3) times in any twelve
(12)-month period), upon not less than ten (10) business days' prior written
notice from Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, to execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the other party a statement in writing (i) certifying that
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified
and stating the modifications), (ii) stating the dates to which the rentals
and other charges hereunder have been paid by Tenant or Landlord, (iii)
stating whether or not to the best knowledge of Tenant or Landlord, the other
party has failed to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so,
specifying each such failure of which Tenant or Landlord may have
- 27 -
knowledge, (iv) stating the address to which notices to Tenant or Landlord
should be sent, and (v) providing such other information as may reasonably be
requested.
30. Surrender; Holding Over.
(a) In the event Tenant gives Landlord notice not more than
one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than ninety (90) days prior to the Lease
Expiration Date that Tenant, or anyone (including a sublessee) claiming under
Tenant, will not immediately surrender the Demised Premises on the expiration of
the Term, Landlord, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, shall
provide Tenant with written consent (which Tenant expressly agrees may be
withheld for any reason) or shall in its sole and absolute discretion notify
Tenant that it does not consent to holding over by Tenant or anyone claiming
under Tenant beyond the Lease Expiration Date.
(b) Tenant agrees that it will not occupy or retain or allow
occupancy or retention by any subtenant of possession of the Demised Premises at
any time after the expiration of the Term, without the prior written consent of
Landlord. In the event that Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of the
Term without Landlord's prior written consent, Landlord shall have the right to
regain possession of the Demised Premises by any legal process in force at such
time. Furthermore, in the event Tenant continues to occupy the Demised Premises
after the expiration of the Term without Landlord's prior written consent,
Tenant shall then be liable to pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, an amount
equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the total Base Rent being paid
immediately prior to the Lease Expiration Date, divided by 365, for each day or
part of a day that Tenant occupies the Demised Premises after the date of
expiration of the Term, plus any other Additional Rent or charges due,
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred by Landlord in
regaining possession of the Demised Premises and to recover said liquidated
damages. Holdover occupancy by Tenant shall be subject to all of the terms,
covenants, and conditions of this Lease.
(c) If, pursuant to the prior written consent of Landlord,
Tenant, or anyone (including a sublessee) claiming under Tenant, does not
immediately surrender the Demised Premises on the date of the expiration of this
Lease, then Tenant shall, by virtue of the provisions hereof, become a Tenant by
the month at a monthly rental equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
Rent in effect at the termination of the Lease but otherwise on the same terms
and provisions of this Lease. Said monthly tenancy shall commence with the first
day next after the Lease Expiration Date. Tenant, as a monthly Tenant, shall be
subject to all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease. In
the event Tenant becomes a monthly Tenant under the provisions of
- 28 -
this Section 30, such tenancy shall be terminable by Landlord upon thirty (30)
days' written notice to Tenant, except in the event of non-payment of Base
Rent, Additional Rent, or any other charge or cost, in which case, Tenant shall
be deemed to have waived its right to receive any notice to quit.
(d) At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term,
Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises, including all Alterations, to
Landlord in the same condition as on the Lease Commencement Date, ordinary wear
and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted.
31. Right of Landlord to Cure Tenant's Default. If Tenant
defaults in the making of any payment or in the doing of any act herein
required to be performed by Tenant (other than the payment of Base Rent and
Percentage Rent), Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make such
payment or do such act, and the amount of the expense thereof, if made or
done by Landlord, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date
paid by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord and shall constitute
Additional Rent hereunder due and payable with the next monthly installment
of Base Rent after Tenant's receipt of notice thereof from Landlord; but the
making of such payment or the doing of such act by Landlord shall not operate to
cure such default or to estop Landlord from the pursuit of any remedy to which
Landlord would otherwise be entitled, except as otherwise provided herein.
32. Tenant's Trade Fixtures. All trade fixtures and apparatus
leased or owned (whether under an installment sales contract or otherwise) by
Tenant and installed in or about the Demised Premises by Tenant shall remain
the property of Tenant and shall be removed upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, provided that Tenant shall not at such time be
in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods of any terms or
covenants of this Lease. Tenant retains the right to replace any and all
equipment and fixtures in or about the Demised Premises. Tenant shall
repair any damage to the Demised Premises caused by the removal of said trade
fixtures and apparatus at its sole expense.
33. Tenant's Personal Property. Landlord shall have a lien (which
shall be junior to any equipment financing obtained by Tenant) upon all the
personal property of Tenant moved into the Demised Premises as and for
security for the payment by Tenant of Rent and the performance by Tenant of the
other obligations set forth hereunder as provided by applicable law. Provided
that Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable notice and cure
periods, Tenant shall have the right to remove its personal property from the
Demised Premises at any time and from time to time. Any personal property of
Tenant or any other person which is left at the Demised Premises after the date
the Lease has expired or terminated shall be deemed to have been abandoned, and
- 29 -
Landlord shall have the right to declare itself owner and to dispose of it in
whatever manner Landlord deems appropriate and Tenant shall not have any
right to compensation or claim against Landlord as a result.
34. Benefit and Burden. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7
and 24 hereof, the provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and each of their respective
representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
35. Memorandum of Lease.
(a) Landlord and Tenant shall, at the request of either party,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party a memorandum of this Lease
(the "Lease Memorandum") in recordable form, setting forth the date of this
Lease, the names of the parties hereto, the Lease Commencement Date and
describing the Demised Premises and Tenant's right to renew this Lease. Said
Lease Memorandum shall not in any circumstances be deemed to modify or to change
any of the provisions of this Lease. Either party may elect, at the equal
expense of Landlord and Tenant, to record the Lease Memorandum.
(b) In the event that Landlord and Tenant execute such Lease
Memorandum, each party shall after the expiration or termination of the Term, at
the request of the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver a memorandum in
recordable form evidencing the expiration or termination of this Lease, and if
such party fails to execute such memorandum within fifteen (15) days after the
date of such request, such party hereby irrevocably appoints the requesting
party its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such memorandum on behalf of
such party. The requesting party may elect, at its sole expense, to record said
memorandum.
36. Leasehold Mortgages.
(a) The term "Leasehold Mortgage" shall include a mortgage, a
deed of trust, a deed to secure debt, or other security instrument by which
Tenant's leasehold estate is mortgaged, conveyed, assigned, or otherwise
transferred, to secure a debt or other obligation.
(b) The term "Leasehold Mortgagee" shall refer to a
holder of a Leasehold Mortgage.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7 to the contrary,
Tenant shall have the right from time to time, subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth in this Section, to encumber the leasehold
estate created by this Lease by one or more Leasehold Mortgages provided
that (i) there only
- 30 -
be one such Leasehold Mortgage in effect at any one time, (ii) that any such
Leasehold Mortgage be granted to an institutional lender, and (iii) that the
face amount of any such Leasehold Mortgage may not exceed Tenant's cost (hard
and soft) of the Building including all site work and improvements. In no event,
and under no circumstances, is the Landlord to be required to subordinate
Landlord's interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises. No Leasehold
Mortgage shall encumber Landlord's fee or reversionary interest in the
Demised Premises. Any Leasehold Mortgage granted by Tenant and secured by its
leasehold estate created by this Lease shall comply with the following
conditions:
(i) all rights acquired thereunder shall
be subject to each and all of the covenants, conditions, restrictions and
provisions of this Lease and to all of the rights and interests of Landlord
under the Lease; and
(ii) upon the expiration of this Lease or
the sooner termination of this Lease for any reason whatsoever, both the Demised
Premises and all improvements now or hereafter located thereon is and shall be,
except as specifically provided in this Lease, the property of Landlord free and
clear of any rights, claims, liens, encumbrances, security interests or charges
of the Leasehold Mortgagee.
(d) Concurrently with the execution of the Leasehold Mortgage,
Leasehold Mortgagee or Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing of the Leasehold
Mortgage, giving the name and address of the Leasehold Mortgagee, together with
true and complete copies of the Leasehold Mortgage, and the note or other
obligations secured by such Leasehold Mortgage and any other documents pertinent
to the Leasehold Mortgage. Thereafter, Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall
provide Landlord a copy, from time to time, of each amendment or other
modification or supplement to the Leasehold Mortgage documents.
(e) Provided Landlord has been notified of the existence of a
Leasehold Mortgage, Landlord, when giving notice to Tenant with respect to any
default hereunder, or with respect to a matter which may predicate or claim a
default, shall also mail a copy of such notice to any such Leasehold Mortgagee
at the most recent address given to Landlord pursuant to subsection 36(d)
hereof. No notice of default shall be effective against Leasehold Mortgagee
unless a copy thereof has been delivered to Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to the
provisions of this subsection 36(d). All notices by Landlord to the Mortgagee
pursuant to this Section shall be in writing and shall be given pursuant to the
provisions of Section 28 of this Lease.
(f) If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of the
terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on the Tenant's part
to be performed or observed, any Leasehold
- 31 -
Mortgagee shall have the right, within the same period available to Tenant under
this Lease for curing such default.
(g) Landlord shall not terminate this Lease because of any
default or breach hereunder on the part of Tenant if the Leasehold Mortgagee
under such Mortgage, within thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice
(the "Termination Notice") to the Leasehold Mortgagee by Landlord stating that
Tenant has failed to cure any default or breach hereunder within the applicable
cure period and notifying Leasehold Mortgagee of Landlord's intention to
terminate this Lease for such default or breach, has cured such default or
breach or, with regard to non-monetary defaults only, has commenced to perform
the necessary actions (in the event that the default or breach would take longer
than thirty (30) days to perform) to cure such default or breach and diligently
pursue them to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such default or
breach is not susceptible of being cured by Leasehold Mortgagee until it has
secured possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall not terminate this
Lease because of such default or breach on the part of Tenant if the Leasehold
Mortgagee, within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Termination Notice, has
notified Landlord, in writing (the "Foreclosure Notice"), that the Leasehold
Mortgagee has instituted, and will thereafter diligently pursue to completion,
steps and proceedings for the exercise of the power of sale under and pursuant
to the Leasehold Mortgage in the manner provided by law (or an assignment in
lieu thereof); agrees to keep and perform (and undertake in writing with
Landlord to keep and perform) all of Tenant's covenants and conditions of this
Lease (except for those which Leasehold Mortgagee cannot keep and perform
without obtaining possession of the Demised Premises but only during the time
and to the extent the same cannot be kept and performed by Leasehold Mortgagee)
until such time as Tenant's leasehold shall be sold upon foreclosure pursuant to
the Leasehold Mortgage or shall be released or reconveyed thereunder, but in no
event longer than twelve (12) months from the date of delivery of the
Foreclosure Notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if the holder of the
Leasehold Mortgagee shall fail to comply with any and all of the conditions of
this Section and such failure by Leasehold Mortgagee has not been cured within
thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice to the Leasehold Mortgagee by
Landlord, then and thereupon Landlord shall be released from the covenants of
forbearance herein contained; and provided further that Landlord shall be
required to forebear from terminating this Lease only so long as Leasehold
Mortgagee pays all Rent as and when it becomes due hereunder; and only so long
as Leasehold Mortgagee is keeping and performing all of Tenant's covenants and
conditions of this Lease (except for those which Leasehold Mortgagee cannot keep
and perform without obtaining possession of the Demised Premises but only during
the time and to the extent the same cannot be kept and performed by Leasehold
Mortgagee).
- 32 -
(h) Landlord shall accept the performance by Leasehold
Mortgagee of its obligations under this Section as though the same has been done
or performed by Tenant.
(i) Landlord and Tenant agree that the making of a Leasehold
Mortgage, which complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Article,
shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease or of
the leasehold estate created by this Lease, nor shall any Leasehold Mortgagee,
solely as the beneficiary of such Leasehold Mortgage, be deemed to be an
assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the leasehold estate created by this
Lease so as to require such Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the
performance of the terms, covenants, or conditions on the part of Tenant to be
performed, hereunder.
(j) Provided that this Lease has not theretofore been
terminated, Landlord and Tenant agree that if the Leasehold Mortgage shall be
foreclosed, or the leasehold estate created by this Lease otherwise acquired
under the Leasehold Mortgage (which foreclosure or acquisition may be in the
name of the Leasehold Mortgagee or in the name of Leasehold Mortgagee's nominee
such as the trustee under a deed of trust), the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be
deemed to be an assignee or transferee within the meaning of this Section and
shall be deemed to have agreed to perform and be bound to each and all of the
terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of this Lease which have accrued
and thereafter accrue under this Lease, but only for so long as Leasehold
Mortgagee (or its nominee) holds title to the leasehold created by this Lease.
In the event of a foreclosure:
(i) the written consent of Landlord shall
not be required to a transfer of the title to the leasehold created by this
Lease to the Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee);
(ii) Leasehold Mortgagee shall forthwith
give notice to Landlord in writing of any such transfer of title to Leasehold
Mortgagee (or its nominee) setting forth the name and address of the Leasehold
Mortgagee (or its nominee), the effective date of the transfer and the express
written agreement of the Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee) that, so long as
Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee) holds title to the Tenant's leasehold
estate under this Lease (but not thereafter), Leasehold Mortgagee (or its
nominee) shall assume and agree to perform and be bound by each and all of the
terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of this Lease which have accrued
and thereafter accrue under this Lease, together with a copy of the document by
which such transfer was made; and
(iii) the Landlord shall have the right to
acquire the Leasehold by paying the Leasehold Mortgagee the full unpaid amount
secured by the Leasehold Mortgage provided Landlord
- 33 -
makes such payment within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the
transfer of title.
If the Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee)
shall fail or refuse to comply with any and all of the conditions of this
Section and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after notice
to Leasehold Mortgagee, then and thereupon, and without further notice to the
Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee), Landlord may terminate this Lease in
accordance with its terms.
(k) Provided that this Lease has not theretofore been
terminated, and provided further that the Leasehold Mortgagee has performed its
obligations under subsection 36(g) hereof, in the event of a foreclosure of the
Leasehold Mortgage (or an assignment in lieu thereof) any assignment or transfer
of this Lease to a party other than the Leasehold Mortgagee (or its nominee)
shall not be effective or deemed valid unless, at or before the time of such
assignment or transfer, the transferee meets the criteria set forth in Section
7. Except as permitted by Section 7 and this Article hereof, neither Tenant nor
any Transferee shall further assign or transfer its interest in this Lease.
(l) For purposes of this Lease, a "Qualifying Mortgage" shall
mean a first Leasehold Mortgage which complies with the following requirements:
the Leasehold Mortgagee is an "Institutional Lender", or any affiliate, parent
or subsidiary of an Institutional Lender (for purposes of this Lease the term
"Institutional Lender" shall mean (1) a lender whose policies are subject to the
supervision of the Controller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board or any
state banking commission or department of insurance; or (2) with respect to
pension or profit sharing funds or trusts, such funds shall be deemed
Institutional Lenders if the fiduciary of the fund or trust is an institution
which qualifies as an Institutional Lender under subsection, or if the employer
for whose employees the fund or trust was established is a publicly held company
listed on any nationally recognized stock exchange). Upon the termination of
this Lease for any reason, excluding however a termination due to a breach by
Leasehold Mortgagee of its obligations under this Section and the Leasehold
Mortgagee of the Qualifying Mortgage shall have the right, in addition to the
rights contained in subsection 36(k), to demand a new lease of the Demised
Premises, exercisable by notice in writing to Landlord within sixty (60) days
after the giving of notice by Landlord to the Leasehold Mortgagee of such
termination, provided that on or before the delivery of such new lease the
Leasehold Mortgagee has paid to Landlord all Rent which (i) was unpaid prior to
the termination of this Lease, and (ii) would have accrued hereunder after the
termination of this Lease had this Lease remained in full force until the time
of such delivery. The new lease shall continue for the balance of the
- 34 -
Term remaining as of the date of termination, at the rent and upon all of
the other terms, provisions, covenants and agreements set forth in this Lease
(including without limitation any unexecuted Renewal Options). Any new lease
may, at the option of Leasehold Mortgagee, name as tenant the Leasehold
Mortgagee or a nominee of Leasehold Mortgagee, provided that the nominee
meets the criteria set forth in Section 7. In the event of the election by a
Qualifying Mortgagee to enter into a new lease with Landlord, Tenant shall, and
does hereby waive all rights it may have to redeem its leasehold interest
under this Lease or to reinstate this Lease. It is the intent of Landlord and
any Qualifying Mortgagee that such new lease shall have the same priority as
this Lease, and Landlord covenants that it shall not take any affirmative
action on its part which would frustrate or defeat the foregoing intent;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall render
Landlord liable to the Leasehold Mortgagee of the Qualifying Mortgage
and/or the tenant under the new lease if Landlord is unable to deliver physical
possession of the Demised Premises by reason of the failure of Tenant, or
anyone holding the Demised Premises (or any part thereof) to surrender
possession thereof.
37. Landlord or Tenant as an Individual or Partnership. If
Landlord or Tenant or any successor in interest to Landlord or Tenant
shall be an individual, corporation, joint venture, tenancy in common, firm or
partnership, general or limited, there shall be no personal liability on
any employees, officers, directors or other individuals, of the Landlord
or Tenant, their successors, partners, or Affiliates with respect to any of
the provisions of this Lease, any obligation arising therefrom or in connection
therewith. Nothing in this Section 37 shall be construed to limit the
liability of Landlord or Tenant hereunder.
38. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee(s)
and/or trust Landlord holder(s), by certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of any failure by
Landlord to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease served upon the
Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been
notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases, or
otherwise) of the addresses of such mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed
holder(s). Tenant further agrees that the mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed
holder(s) shall have such time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such
failure as long as any mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed holder(s) has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such
failure.
39. Non-Competition. Subject to the rights of tenants under
leases executed prior to the date of this Lease, Landlord
shall not sell or lease to, and shall not permit the operation
of, another "diner" or "family-style" restaurant within the
Shopping Center during the period of time that Tenant operates a
- 35 -
restaurant at the Demised Premises. Tenant shall have the right to seek
injunctive relief to enforce its rights under this Section 39.
40. Excuse for Nonperformance. Either party shall be excused
from performing any obligation or undertaking provided in this Lease for a
period of time equivalent to the delay caused by the items described below,
except the obligations of Tenant to pay Rent under the provisions of this
Lease (unless such obligation is abated or modified pursuant to the provisions
of Section 22), in the event and so long as the performance of any such
obligation is prevented or delayed, retarded or hindered by Act of God,
fire, earthquake, floods, explosion, actions of the elements, war,
invasion, insurance, riot, mob violence, sabotage, inability to procure
or general shortage of labor, equipment, facilities, materials or
supplies in the open market, failure of transportation, condemnation,
requisition, laws, orders of government or civil military or naval authorities,
or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing not within
the reasonable control of such party ("Force Majeure"), excluding
however, the inability to obtain monies to perform or fulfill a party's
obligations and undertakings.

CONSTRUCTION RESPONSIBILITIES
The following sets forth the respective construction responsibilities
of Landlord and Tenant with regard to Landlord's obligation to construct certain
Site Improvements (hereafter defined) with regard to the Shopping Center,
including certain designated work on the Demised Premises and Tenant's
responsibility to construct the Building.
1. Landlord's Work.
(a) Landlord agrees to provide for the design and construction
of the Building pad for Tenant's Building, the common pylon sign, detention
ponds, on and off site road work, parking areas, common utilities and other
common Site Improvements, including landscaping within the Common Areas, all
substantially as shown on the Site Plan attached to the Lease. All such work is
collectively referred to herein as the "Site Improvements".
(b) Landlord shall cause the preparation of plans and
specifications in sufficient detail so as to permit the construction of the Site
Improvements and shall provide same to Tenant's designated architect or
engineer. Landlord shall prepare such plans and specifications so as to be
consistent with plans given to Landlord by Tenant showing the location of the
utility lines to Tenant's Building.
(c) Landlord will apply for and use reasonable efforts to
obtain, at its own expense any and all necessary permits and variances that are
necessary to construct the Site Improvements, including, without limitation, any
such Permits pertaining to utilities, curb cuts, driveways (including ingress
and egress to public thoroughfares), and environmental controls. Landlord shall
pay all utility hook-up and connection fees required in connection with the
Building. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be
responsible for or obligated to obtain a building permit for the Tenant's
Building and Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining the building permit for
Building or other improvements to be performed by Tenant at its own expense.
(d) Landlord shall provide to Tenant testing results relating
to work on the Demised Premises from licenses engineers and/or testing labs for
tests conducted by Landlord. All tests must meet or exceed the criteria
established in the plans and specifications. Test results, as completed, shall
be sent to Landlord and Tenant. Upon completion of the Tenant's building
- 1 - EXHIBIT B
pad and site grading, Landlord shall provide a certification statement from
a licensed surveyor certifying to Tenant that the Demised Premises has been
graded to the elevation required in the plans and specifications.
(e) After the awarding of the construction contract(s) by
Landlord and receipt of the necessary Permits, Landlord shall cause the
commencement and diligent continuance of the construction of the Site
Improvements until completion. Landlord shall cause the construction of the Site
Improvements serving the Demised Premises (including all parking within the No
Build Zone) in two phases, the first phase being the delivery of Tenant's
Building pad, staging areas and an access road to such areas from Route 38 (the
"Phase One Work"). The Phase One Work shall be substantially completed by April
1, 1997, subject to ss. 40 of the Lease. The remaining Site improvements serving
the Demised Premises (the "Phase Two Work"), shall be completed in accordance
with the following schedule:
(i) Permanent Utilities to Tenant's Building
- April 30, 1997
(ii) Substantial completion of remaining Phase
Two Work - September 30, 1997,
in each case subject to (section xxxx) 40 of the Lease.
(f) Landlord shall be responsible for the supervision of the
construction of the Site Improvements, and shall use reasonable efforts to
advise and consult with Tenant as to material elements of the work and its
progress. Tenant and its designated architect and/or engineer, at its own
expense, may visit the job site to inspect the progress and performance of the
work and the materials being incorporated into the Site Improvements.
(g) In connection with the construction of the Site
Improvements by or on behalf of Landlord, Landlord shall not create or suffer to
be created or to remain, and shall discharge, any mechanic's, laborer's or
materialmen's lien which shall become a lien upon the Demised Premises or any
part thereof. If any mechanic's, laborer's or materialmen's lien shall at any
time be filed against the Demised Premises or any part thereof arising from work
performed on behalf of Landlord, Landlord, within thirty (30) days shall cause
such lien to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of court
of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
(h) The Site Improvements shall be deemed "completed" after
the completion of all work and certification of such completion by Landlord's
engineer. The Site Improvements shall be deemed "substantially completed" upon
the completion of all
- 2 - EXHIBIT B
such work, except for minor items which do not materially detract from the
usability of such item or are of a seasonal nature (such as landscaping or
striping and the final coat of asphalt on the parking area and the interior
roads in the Shopping Center), commonly referred to as "punch list" items
and certification of such by Landlord's engineer. Landlord shall diligently
complete all punch list items.
(i) Landlord will perform the Site Improvements in a manner
reasonably designed to minimize any interference with the construction of the
Tenant's Building. In the event that during the construction of the Building,
the construction activities of Landlord, or the progress of the same, as
required by Section 1(e), interferes with or delays the construction activities
of the Tenant, Tenant shall notify the Landlord, in writing, of the same,
specifying exactly what construction activities of Landlord are the source of
the problem or what portion of Landlord's work needs to be performed to avoid
such delay. Landlord will have forty-eight (48) hours after its receipt of the
foregoing notice to stop or commence to diligently cure the matters raised by
Tenant in its notice. Should Landlord fail to do so, or should Landlord, having
commenced such cure, fail to diligently complete it, Tenant shall be entitled to
a credit against Rent of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for each day or partial day
Tenant is delayed by Landlord.
2. Tenant's Work.

construct the Site Improvements as a precondition to Tenant commencing
construction of the Tenant's Building.
(d) All contracts of Tenant shall provide for the coordination
and cooperation of such contractor with Landlord in completing the Site
Improvements and other construction work on the Shopping Center, including any
space to be erected by Landlord or its tenants. Tenant shall perform its
construction in a manner reasonably designed to minimize any interference with
the construction taking place simultaneously on the balance of the Shopping
Center or the operation of stores then open for business. In the event that
during the construction of the Building, the construction activities of Tenant,
or the progress of the same, interferes with or delays the construction
activities of the Landlord, Landlord shall notify the Tenant, in writing,
specifying exactly what construction activities of Tenant are the source of the
problem or what portion of Tenant's work needs to be performed to avoid such
delay. Tenant will have forty-eight (48) hours after its receipt of the
foregoing notice to stop or commence to diligently cure the matters raised by
Landlord in its notice. FURTHER, IN CONSTRUCTING THE TENANT'S BUILDING, TENANT

OR LABOR DISPUTE AFFECTING THE SHOPPING CENTER. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event shall Tenant be expected or obligated to engage in any conduct which
is in conflict with or violates any federal, state or local law including,
without limitation, the National Labor Relations Act or the regulations thereto.
(e) Tenant's construction work shall be properly protected
with lights and barricades and secured against accident, storm or any other
hazard. Staging for the construction of the Tenant's restaurant shall be
confined to the area designated "staging" on the Site Plan. Tenant shall keep
all other portions of the Shopping Center substantially free from and
unobstructed by debris, equipment materials or supplies related to Tenant's
construction work and will use its best good faith commercially reasonable
efforts to keep obstruction to a minimum. Tenant shall patch and repair asphalt
and cement, if

same clean and free of debris. During such construction work, Tenant shall
store all trash, debris and rubbish as reasonably directed by Landlord and upon
the completion of Tenant's construction work, Tenant shall remove all temporary
structures, surplus materials, debris and rubbish of whatever kind remaining
on the Demised Premises, the staging areas or other portions of the Shopping
Center. Landlord shall be responsible for the removal of rubbish and trash
from the Shopping Center caused by Landlord. Landlord and Landlord's
architect or engineer shall be given notice of, and may attend any meetings with
Tenant's contractors and may visit the job site to observe the progress and
performance of the construction work.

Tenant's Building, Tenant shall not create or suffer to be created or to remain,
and shall discharge, any mechanic's, laborer's or materialmen's liens which
shall become a lien upon Demised Premises or Shopping Center or any part
thereof. If any mechanic's, laborer's or materialmen's liens shall at any time
be filed against the Demised Premises, the Shopping Center or any part thereof
arising from work performed on behalf of Tenant, Tenant within thirty (30) days
shall cause such lien to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond,
order of court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.

THIS SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT is made
and entered into as of the day of , 199__, by and among Cherry
Hill Associates L.P., a New Jersey limited partnership ("Landlord"); __________
_____________________________________, a _______________ corporation ("Tenant");
_____________________, a _____________________ ("Mortgagee"); and _____________
_____________________ and _______________________ ("Trustees").
RECITALS:
---------
A. Landlord is the owner in fee simple of the real property in Cherry
Hill, New Jersey described in Exhibit A attached hereto ("Land").
B. Mortgagee is the owner of the beneficial interest under that
certain deed of trust dated _____________, 199__, encumbering the Land to the
Trustees, and recorded in the records of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of
____________________, _______________ in Deed Book _______ at Page _____ (the
"Mortgage").
C. Pursuant to that certain Lease dated ___________________, 1996 the
"Lease"), Tenant has leased from Landlord the Land (the Land, together with all
improvements now or hereinafter situated thereon are collectively referred to as
the "Premises"). The Premises are more particularly described in the Lease, a
true copy of which as executed by Landlord and Tenant has been delivered to
Mortgagee.
D. Tenant and Mortgagee desire to confirm certain understandings with
respect to the Lease and the Mortgage, and Landlord desires to join herein to
evidence its agreement to the provisions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein contained,
the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Approval of Lease. Mortgagee hereby approves the execution of the
Lease by Landlord and Tenant.
2. Nondisturbance; No Joinder. So long as Tenant is not in default
(beyond any period granted to Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of
rent or additional rent or in the performance of any of the other terms,
covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed:
- 1 - EXHIBIT E
(a) Tenant's possession of the Premises and Tenant's rights,
options and privileges under the Lease, or under any extensions thereof effected
in accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, shall not be diminished or
interfered with by Mortgagee, and Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall not
be disturbed by Mortgagee for any reason whatsoever during the term of the Lease
or any such extensions or renewals thereof; and
(b) Mortgagee will not join Tenant as a party defendant in
any action or proceeding for the purpose of terminating Tenant's interest and
estate under the Lease because of any default under the Mortgage.
3. Attornment. If Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord in
the Lease by reason of foreclosure, dispossession or other proceedings brought
by Mortgagee, or by any other manner, Tenant shall be bound to Mortgagee under
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the
term thereof and any extensions thereof effected in accordance with any option
therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if Mortgagee were the
landlord under the Lease, and Tenant does hereby attorn to Mortgage as its
landlord. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative, without the
execution of any further instruments on the part of any of the parties hereto,
immediately upon Mortgagee's succeeding to the interest of Landlord under the
Lease. In confirmation of such attornment, Tenant shall execute and deliver
promptly any certificate or other instrument which Mortgagee may request;
provided, that Tenant shall be under no obligation to pay Minimum Rent,
additional rent or other sums payable under the Lease until Tenant receives
written notice from Mortgagee that Mortgagee has succeeded to the interest of
Landlord under the Lease or that Mortgagee has exercised any right under the
Mortgage to collect such payments directly from Tenant. The respective rights
and obligations of Tenant and Mortgagee upon such attornment shall be the same
as set forth in the Lease.
4. Mortgagee's Succession. If Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest
of Landlord in the Lease, Mortgagee shall be bound to Tenant under all the
terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after
Mortgagee's succeeding to the interest of Landlord in the Lease, have the same
remedies against Mortgagee for the breach of any agreement contained in the
Lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord if Mortgagee
had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord; provided, that Mortgagee shall
not be --
(i) bound by any termination, amendment,
modification or surrender of the Lease without Mortgagee's written consent;
- 2 - EXHIBIT E
(ii) bound by any payment in advance of Minimum Rent
or additional rent for more than one month to any prior landlord (including
Landlord), unless such advance payment is specifically required under the Lease;
and
(iii) liable for any act, omission or default of any
prior landlord.
5. Subordination. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Lease now is
and shall continue to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage, to any and all
renewals and modifications thereof and to all advances made and to be made
thereunder, so long as no such renewal or modification shall increase any
obligation of Tenant or shall diminish any obligation of Mortgagee or Landlord
hereunder or under the Lease. Any such renewal or modification shall
nevertheless be subject to and entitled to the benefits of the terms of this
Agreement and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Such
subordination shall be effective and self-operative, without the execution of
any further instruments on the part of any of the parties hereto.
6. No Oral Modifications. This Agreement may not be modified orally
or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties
hereto or their respective successors in interest.
7. Benefit and Burden. All provisions and covenants in this Agreement
shall be deemed to touch and concern and run with the Land. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, be enforceable by and be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including as a successor in
the case of Mortgagee any purchaser at a foreclosure sale. The word "Mortgagee"
shall include the original Mortgagee named herein and any of its successors and
assigns, including any person or entity succeeding to Landlord's interest in the
Land or the Lease upon foreclosure of the Mortgage. The word "foreclosure" and
"foreclosure sale" as used herein shall be deemed to include the acquisition of
Landlord's estate in the Land by voluntary deed, assignment or other disposition
or transfer in lieu of foreclosure.
8. Lease Defined. The word "Lease" as used herein shall be deemed to
be the Lease as originally executed by Landlord and Tenant, as amended or
modified by written agreements hereafter made, from time to time, between the
Landlord and Tenant and consented to by Mortgagee.
9. Applicable Law; Gender. This Agreement shall be construed
according to the laws of the State of New Jersey. The use of the neuter gender
in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any other gender, and words in the
singular number shall be held to include the plural, when the sense so requires.
- 3 - EXHIBIT E
10. Trustee. Mortgagee hereby authorizes the Trustee to execute this
Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.
