Monthly Property Taxes shall be based on the Property Taxes, as estimated by Xxxxxxxx, for the year in question, and such payments are subject to increase or decrease on a periodic basis, as determined by Landlord to accurately reflect Tenant's obligation. Property Taxes shall be reconciled annually. If Tenant's total payment of Property Taxes are less than Tenant's actual obligation to pay Property Taxes, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord on demand.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed to include within the definition of Property Taxes, any inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, corporation, income or profit tax or capital levy that is, or may be, imposed upon Landlord, provided, however, that if, at any time after the date hereof, the methods of taxation shall be altered so that, in lieu of, or as a substitute for, the whole or any part of the Property Taxes now levied, assessed or imposed on real estate as such, there is levied, assessed or imposed: (a) a tax on the rents received from Tenant; or (b) a license fee measured by the rents receivable by Landlord; or (c) a tax or license fee imposed upon Landlord which is otherwise measured by, or based in whole or part upon, the Leased Premises or the rents received therefrom; or (d) an income or franchise tax, then the same shall be included in the definition of Property Taxes and shall be computed as if the amount of such tax or fee so payable that would be due if the Leased Premises were the only property of Landlord subject thereto.

13. DAMAGE AND OBLIGATION TO RESTORE.

13.1 Tenant shall give prompt written notice to Landlord of any damage caused to the Leased Premises by fire or other casualty.

13.2 If: (a) the Leased Premises is damaged by any uninsurable casualty; or (b) the Leased Premises is damaged to an extent in excess of twenty-five (25%) percent of the cost of replacement thereof, Landlord may elect either to terminate this Lease or to proceed to rebuild and repair the Leased Premises. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, it shall give written notice of such election to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the casualty. If Landlord elects to rebuild and repair, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, subject to the provisions hereinafter contained.

13.3 If the Leased Premises is damaged, regardless of the extent thereof, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of occurrence of such damage.

13.4 Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event that Landlord is obligated to repair the Leased Premises Landlord shall proceed with reasonable efforts to rebuild and repair the Leased Premises. Landlord's obligation to rebuild and repair shall be limited to restoring the Leased Premises, to the extent practical, to substantially the condition in which same existed prior to the casualty (excluding all leasehold improvements, personal property and trade fixtures installed by Tenant) and shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds made available to Landlord for such restoration. Tenant, promptly upon completion of such work by Xxxxxxxx, will proceed with all due diligence to restore the remainder of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, the repair or restoration of signs, fixtures and equipment and open the Leased Premises for business as soon as possible. During any period of reconstruction or repair of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall continue the operation of its business within the Leased Premises to the extent practicable.

The Lease Term shall "toll" during any such period of total abatement of Rent.

13.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event the Leased Premises is damaged to such an extent that Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to not rebuild or restore the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant, and this Lease shall terminate and become null and void thirty (30) days after said notice.

14. EMINENT DOMAIN.

14.1 If any part of the Leased Premises is permanently or temporarily taken, condemned or transferred by agreement in lieu of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose by any condemning authority, whether or not this Lease is terminated, the entire compensation award therefor, both leasehold and reversion, shall be the property of Landlord without any deduction therefrom for any present or future estate of Tenant. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title and interest to any such award, provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to pursue a claim for moving and relocation expenses, its trade fixtures and equipment and improvements which are the property of Tenant, as long as Xxxxxx's claim for any of the same does not reduce or diminish Landlord's award. Tenant shall execute all documents required to accomplish such result.

14.2 If any portion of the Leased Premises is permanently taken, condemned or transferred as aforesaid, at Landlord's option, this Lease shall terminate as of the time possession thereof vests in the condemning authority or earlier date upon which Xxxxxx must surrender possession to condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall, to the extent proceeds are made available to Landlord to do so, at its own expense, repair and restore the portion of the Leased Premises not affected by the taking, in which event the Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the area of the Leased Premises taken, effective at the time possession vests in the condemning authority. If the Leased Premises or any part thereof is temporarily taken, condemned or transferred as aforesaid, the Rent shall be abated during the period of such temporary taking by the amount Landlord receives from the condemning authority to compensate it for the loss of use of the Leased Premises.

14.3 If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, it shall give written notice of such election to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the taking.

14.4 If any part of the Leased Premises is taken (regardless of the extent thereof) during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of such taking.

14.5 Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event the Leased Premises is taken, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable efforts to rebuild and repair the Leased Premises. Landlord's obligation to rebuild and repair shall be, to the extent possible in view of the taking, limited to restoring the Leased Premises to substantially the condition in which same existed prior to the taking (excluding all leasehold improvements, personal property and fixtures installed by Xxxxxx) and shall be limited to the extent of the condemnation proceeds available to Landlord for such restoration. Tenant, promptly upon completion of such work by Xxxxxxxx, will proceed with all due diligence to restore the remainder of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, the repair or restoration of signs, fixtures and equipment and open the Leased Premises for business as soon as possible. During any period of reconstruction or repair of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall continue the operation of its business within the Leased Premises to the extent practicable.

14.6 In the event Landlord elects to, or is required to, restore the Leased Premises and Tenant is deprived of the occupancy and use of a material portion of the Leased Premises, Minimum Rent and all other Additional Rent, shall, to the extent of payments pursuant to Tenant’s business income policy, equitably xxxxx until Landlord has completed its restoration as provided herein, provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Rent shall recommence in full at the earlier of: (i) the date Tenant reopens for business; or (ii) the date upon which Landlord completes its restoration and redelivers the Leased Premises to Tenant for the completion of Tenant's restoration and/or fixturing. The Lease Term shall "toll" during any such period of total abatement of Rent.

14.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event any portion of the Leased Premises is taken to such an extent that Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to not rebuild or restore the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

15.1 Tenant shall not voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, assign, sell, mortgage, pledge or in any manner transfer this Lease or any estate or interest therein or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or grant any license, concession or other right to occupy any portion of the Leased Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant requests such approval, it shall be liable for all costs associated therewith and shall deposit, in advance, with Landlord, Landlord's reasonable estimate thereof. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or sublettings shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights as to any subsequent assignments and subletting.

A transfer of control, whether or not a transfer of voting stock or other beneficial interest whereby effective control of Tenant is transferred from one Person to another, shall be deemed a transfer hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet to: (i) affiliates or any other successor entity whether by merger or consolidation; and (ii) an authorized dealer/vendor. Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet to other Persons with the consent of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided sub-lessee or assignee is creditworthy and has adequate experience to operate the business for the Permitted Use.

Notwithstanding any subletting, Tenant and Guarantor shall, at all times, remain fully responsible and liable for compliance with all of the obligations of Tenant and Guarantor, including the payment of Rent.

In the event of an assignment to an assignee, as long as the assignee and any guarantor have, at the time of the assignment, a net worth equal to, or greater than, that of Tenant and Guarantor, Tenant and Guarantor shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except for any indemnities pertaining to events which transpired prior to the date of the assignment. If such assignee and guarantor do not have a net worth equal to, or greater than, that of Tenant and Guarantor, Tenant and Guarantor shall, at all times, remain fully responsible and liable for compliance with all of the obligations of Tenant and Guarantor, including the payment of Rent.

A termination of this Lease by Landlord or the recovery of possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord or any voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing franchises or concessions, licenses, permits, subleases, sub-tenancies or the like between Tenant and any third party with respect to the Leased Premises, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of Xxxxxx’s interest in same. Following an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to require any subtenants to pay all sums due under such subleases directly to Landlord.

15.2 Any sublease shall: (i) be subject to, and shall incorporate by reference, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (except those terms and conditions relating to Rent, Additional Rent, and any other amount due under this Lease); (ii) require the subtenant to acknowledge that it has reviewed and agreed to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease and agree not to do, or fail to do, anything that would cause a default under this Lease; (iii) provide that subtenant shall not have the right to exercise the Option granted to Tenant in the Business Provisions and Tenant will not do so on its behalf; (iv) contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord and shall require subtenant’s insurance policies to provide a waiver of subrogation; (v) prohibit the further subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of the sublease by subtenant without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written approval; (vi) require subtenant to obtain Landlord’s prior written approval to any alterations to the Leased Premises to the extent Tenant is required to do so; (vii) require: (a) subtenant to send Landlord copies of any and all notices concerning the Leased Premises that Tenant is obligated to provide to Landlord; and (b) Tenant to send Landlord copies of any and all notices concerning the Leased Premises that are provided to subtenant; (viii) provide that, at Landlord’s option, the sublease shall not terminate in the event that this Lease terminates and require subtenant to execute an attornment agreement, if Landlord shall elect to have the sublease continue beyond the date of termination of this Lease. Such attornment agreement shall be in form and content acceptable to Landlord pursuant to which subtenant confirms it is in direct privity of contract with Landlord and that all obligations owed to Tenant under the sublease shall become obligations owed to Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease. Unless and until such time as an attornment agreement is executed by Tenant pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, nothing contained in the sublease shall create or shall be construed or deemed to create privity of contract or privity of estate between Landlord and subtenant; (ix) provide that subtenant shall have no right (and shall waive any rights it may have) to hold Landlord responsible for any liability in connection with the Leased Premises, including, any liability arising from the noncompliance with any federal, state, or local laws applicable to the Leased Premises; (x) provide that: (1) nothing in the sublease shall amend or shall be construed or deemed to amend this Lease; and (2) Tenant and subtenant shall not amend the sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord.

15.3 In the event of the transfer and assignment by Landlord of its interest in the Lease and/or Leased Premises, Landlord shall thereafter be released from any further obligations in connection with this Lease, and Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to such successor in interest for performance of all obligations arising thereafter.

16. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

16.1 The following shall constitute Events of Default:

16.1.1 If Tenant defaults in the payment of any sum of money, whether Rent, or otherwise, and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after written notice.

16.1.2 If Tenant defaults in any other manner and such default shall continue for the period within which performance is required to be made by specific provision of this Lease, or, if no such period is so provided, for twenty (20) days after written notice.

16.1.3 If any execution or attachment is issued against Tenant or any of Tenant's property and is not discharged or vacated within ten (10) days after written notice.

16.1.4 If Tenant or any Guarantor commences, in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any State, an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding (including, without limitation, a proceeding for liquidation, reorganization or for adjustment of debts of an individual with regular income), or if such a proceeding is commenced against Tenant or any Guarantor and either an order for relief is entered against such party or such party fails to secure a discharge of the proceeding within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof, or if Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent or is unable to, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitions for or enters into an arrangement with its creditors or a custodian is appointed or takes possession of Tenant's or any Guarantor's property, whether or not a judicial proceeding is instituted in connection with such arrangement or in connection with the appointment of such custodian.

16.1.5 If any financial statement or information given to Landlord by Xxxxxx, any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, any successor in interest of Tenant or any Guarantor is materially false.

16.1.6 If Tenant abandons the Leased Premises.

16.1.7 If Tenant removes, attempts to remove, or expresses or displays any intention to remove any of Tenant's goods or property or any goods or property of others from the Leased Premises, other than in the ordinary and usual course of business, at any time (regardless of the day, or hour of the day or night, and regardless of whether any sum of money payable pursuant to this Lease is then in arrears). Any such removal shall be deemed conclusively to have been made fraudulently or clandestinely with intent to prevent Landlord from distraining or realizing on such goods or property.

16.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without notice or demand whatsoever, except as required herein, and in addition to, and not in limitation of any other remedy or right permitted to it by law or in equity or by this Lease.

16.2.1 Landlord, with or without terminating this Lease and without waiving such Event of Default, may perform, correct or repair any condition which Tenant has failed to keep, observe, perform or satisfy. Landlord may take, on behalf of Xxxxxx, whatever steps Landlord deems necessary to cure the Event of Default. Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises for such purposes without being liable for prosecution or claim for damages therefor. Tenant shall fully reimburse and compensate Landlord, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such performance, correction or repair, including, without limitation, accrued interest from the date of demand until date of payment at the Default Rate.

16.2.2 Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord within ten (10) business days thereafter. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have, enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other Person who may be occupying the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor.

16.2.3 Landlord may recover possession of the Leased Premises, with or without terminating this Lease, at Landlord's option, in the manner prescribed by any applicable statute, including without limitation, statutes relating to summary process. Any demand for Rent, reentry for conditions broken, and any and all notices to quit, including without limitation, the notice required by the provisions of Applicable Law, or other formalities of any nature, to which Tenant may be entitled, are hereby specifically waived. In any possessory action for nonpayment of Rent or other charge due hereunder, Tenant expressly waives any defense other than payment, provided, however, that this provision shall not be deemed to preclude Tenant from making any claims or defenses in a separate proceeding.

Tenant's obligation to pay Rent is independent of any duty or obligation of Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

16.2.4 Landlord may re-let the Leased Premises upon such terms and conditions and for such rental as Landlord deems advisable, without thereby avoiding or terminating this Lease, and Tenant shall remain liable for any and all Rent and other charges and expenses pursuant to this Lease. For the purpose of re-letting, Landlord is authorized to make such repairs or alterations, to the Leased Premises and/or to remove or store Tenant's or other occupants' possessions as may be necessary, in the sole discretion of Landlord, for the purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not realized from such re-letting after payment of all costs and expenses of such repairs, alteration or storage and the expense of such reletting and the collection of rent accruing therefrom, each month in an amount equal to the Rent, Tenant shall pay such deficiency each month upon demand therefor. Actions to collect such amounts may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until the expiration of the Lease Term.

In the event of termination of the Lease or repossession of the Leased Premises for default as described in this Lease, Landlord has no obligation to relet or attempt to relet the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, or to collect rental after reletting. In the event of reletting, Landlord may relet the whole or any portion of the Leased Premises, as agent for Tenant or for Landlord's own account, for any period, to any tenant and for any use and purpose. Landlord shall owe no duty or obligation to Tenant if Landlord attempts to relet the Leased Premises or, in any way, to mitigate Landlord's damages in the event of termination or repossession of the Leased Premises for a default hereunder.

16.2.5 Landlord may accelerate the balance of all Rent due to the end of the Lease Term and collect the then present value (calculated with a discount factor of 8% per annum) thereof by applying of the difference between (x) the entire amount of Minimum Rent and Property Taxes and other charges and assessments which in Landlord's reasonable determination would become due and payable during the remainder of the Lease Term (in the absence of the termination of this Lease), and (y) the then fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term. Upon the acceleration of such amounts, Xxxxxx agrees to pay the same at once, in addition to all Rent, costs, charges, assessments, and reimbursements theretofore due. Such payment shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture, but shall constitute liquidated damages for Tenant's failure to comply with the terms and provisions of this Lease. In computing such liquidated damages, there shall be added to such deficiency any reasonable expenses as Landlord incurs in connection with re-letting, including, but not limited to, court costs, attorneys' fees and disbursements, brokerage fees, and for putting and keeping the Leased Premises in good order or preparing the Leased Premises for reletting. Furthermore, such amount shall be construed as liquidated damages and shall constitute a debt provable in bankruptcy or receivership.

16.2.6 Accelerate the Rent for the balance of the Lease Term.

In the event that Xxxxxxxx takes possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to the provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Leased Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant, at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof by any lessor thereof or third party having a lien thereon. Landlord shall also have the right to remove from the Leased Premises, without the necessity of obtaining a distress warrant, writ of sequestration or other legal process, all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property located thereon and place same in storage at any premises within the County in which the Leased Premises is located. In such event, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the removal and storage. Landlord shall also have the right to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property to any Person ("Claimant") claiming to be entitled to possession thereof which presents to Landlord a copy of any instrument represented to Landlord by Claimant to have been executed by Xxxxxx (or any predecessor of Tenant) granting Claimant the right under various circumstances to take possession of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property, without the necessity on the part of Landlord to inquire into the authenticity of Xxxxxx's signature thereon and without the necessity of Landlord's making any investigation or inquiry as to the validity of the factual or legal basis upon which Claimant purports to act. The rights of Landlord herein stated shall be in addition to any and all other rights which Landlord has or may hereafter have at law or in equity, and Tenant stipulates and agrees that the rights herein granted Landlord are commercially reasonable. Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant, including, without limitation, liability for trespass or conversion, with respect to any actions taken pursuant to this Article.

16.3 In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right of injunction, without the necessity of showing irreparable injury or the necessity of posting a bond. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if such remedies were specifically provided for in this Lease. Any particular remedy specified in this Lease shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedies under this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

16.4 Tenant and Guarantor, if applicable, expressly waive: (i) the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings and any and all rights or redemption granted by or under any present or future laws; (ii) the benefit of all laws, nor or hereafter in force, exempting any goods on the Leased Premises, or elsewhere, from distraint, levy or sale in any legal proceedings taken by Landlord to enforce any rights pursuant to this Lease; (iii) the benefit of all laws existing now or hereafter enacted regarding any limitation as to the goods upon which, or the time within which, distress is to be made after removal of goods of Tenant or others from the Leased Premises and the obligation of proving or identifying the goods distrained, it being the purpose and intent of this provision that all goods of Tenant, whether upon the Leased Premises or not, shall be liable to distress for Rent at any time after Xxxxxx's default pursuant to this Lease, including particularly, but not limited to, those goods removed from the Leased Premises clandestinely and fraudulently, as defined above; (iv) the right to issue a writ or replevin for the recovery of any goods seized under a distress for rent or levy upon an execution for Rent, damages or otherwise and all rights relating to Landlord/Tenant relationship under any law, ordinance or statute, to the extent that they might limit Landlord's right to cause the distrained goods to be sold; and (v) the right to delay execution on any real estate that may be levied upon to collect any amount which may become due pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease and any right to have the same appraised.

16.5 If Landlord cannot terminate this Lease or Tenant's right of possession because of the application of bankruptcy or similar laws, then Tenant, as a debtor in possession or any Trustee, shall: (i) within the statutory time, assume or reject this Lease; and (ii) not seek or request any extension or adjournment of any application to assume or reject this Lease by Landlord. Tenant, as debtor in possession, or any Trustee may only assume this Lease if (A) it cures or provides adequate assurance that it will promptly cure any default hereunder, (B) it compensates or provides adequate assurance that it will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from Xxxxxx's defaults, including without limitation accrued interest as set forth herein and attorneys' fees as a result of such default, and (C) it provides adequate assurance of performance during the Lease Term of all of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Xxxxxx. In no event after the assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth herein. Adequate assurance of performance shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance (1) of the source payment of Rent reserved hereunder, and (2) that the assumption of this Lease will not breach any provision hereunder, and will not cause a breach of any other lease, financing agreement or other agreement relating to the Leased Premises.

Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord arising out of, or resulting from, any bankruptcy case involving Tenant, including the filing by, or against, Tenant of any petition for relief under any applicable bankruptcy or similar law.

16.6 In case of any action or proceeding brought concerning or arising out of the terms and provisions of this Lease, the non-prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party or its agents or both, at all levels of proceedings, including appeals, collections and bankruptcy.

16.7 No waiver of any covenant or condition or of the breach of any covenant or condition of the Lease shall be taken to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of such covenant or condition nor to justify or authorize the non-observance on any other occasion of the same or of any other covenant or condition hereof. No acceptance of Rent by Xxxxxxxx at any time when Tenant is in default hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such default or of Landlord's right to terminate this Lease on account of such default. No waiver or indulgence granted by Landlord to Tenant shall be taken as an estoppel against Landlord. If at any time, Xxxxxx is in default hereunder, an acceptance by Landlord of Rent during the continuance of such default or the failure on the part of Landlord promptly to avail itself of such other rights or remedies as Landlord may have shall not be construed as a waiver of such default, but Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease on account of such default or pursue its rights and remedies hereunder.

16.8 Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and Landlord’s Lender whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations, provided, however, that if the curing of Landlord's obligations requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences its efforts to cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

16.9 Late payment by Xxxxxx of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant has not been received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within three (3) days after such amount is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six (6%) percent of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Xxxxxx. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event any check tendered by Tenant is not be honored for any reason, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately on demand, a service fee of One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars.

16.10 Any sum due and owing by Tenant hereunder shall bear interest at the highest rate allowed by law from the due date until paid, including post judgment (“Default Rate”).

17. LANDLORD'S LIEN. IN ADDITION TO ANY LIEN PROVIDED TO LANDLORD AT LAW, TO SECURE THE PAYMENT OF ALL RENT AND OTHER SUMS OF MONEY DUE AND TO BECOME DUE AND THE FAITHFUL PERFORMANCE OF THE LEASE BY TENANT, TENANT HEREBY GRANTS TO LANDLORD AN EXPRESS FIRST AND PRIOR LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST ON ALL PROPERTY (INCLUDING FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT, CHATTELS AND MERCHANDISE) WHICH MAY BE PLACED IN, OR BROUGHT UPON, THE LEASED PREMISES, AND ALSO UPON ALL PROCEEDS OF ANY INSURANCE WHICH MAY ACCRUE TO TENANT BY REASON OF DESTRUCTION OF OR DAMAGE TO ANY SUCH PROPERTY. SUCH PROPERTY SHALL NOT BE REMOVED THEREFROM WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF LANDLORD UNTIL ALL RENT AND OTHER SUMS OF MONEY THEN DUE TO LANDLORD HEREUNDER SHALL FIRST HAVE BEEN PAID. THIS LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST IS GIVEN IN ADDITION TO LANDLORD'S STATUTORY LIEN AND SHALL BE CUMULATIVE THERETO. CONCURRENTLY WITH THE EXECUTION OF THE LEASE (OR LATER IF REQUESTED BY LANDLORD AT ITS DISCRETION), TENANT SHALL EXECUTE AND DELIVER TO LANDLORD UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE FINANCING STATEMENTS IN SUFFICIENT FORM SO THAT WHEN PROPERLY FILED, THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREBY GIVEN SHALL BE PERFECTED. THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY SHALL TERMINATE WHEN ALL OF THE RENT AND OTHER SUMS OF MONEY BECOMING DUE DURING THE LEASE TERM SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.

18. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. This Lease is subordinate to all liens and encumbrances affecting the Leased Premises, at any time and from time to time. This Lease is subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage or any other hypothecation or security interest hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. The subordination set forth herein is self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required for any purpose. If any lender or ground lessor elects to have this Lease be prior to the lien of its mortgage or ground lease, and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or ground lease.

Xxxxxx agrees to execute any documents required to evidence such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage or ground lease, as the case may be, and failing to do so within ten (10) days after written demand, does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Xxxxxx's attorney in fact and in Xxxxxx's name, place and stead, to do so.

Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises, attorn to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord pursuant to this Lease and shall execute any documents required to evidence same.

19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Landlord or Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party or designees, a statement in writing: (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified is in full force and effect) and the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to its knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the requesting party (or specifying such defaults if any are claimed). Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or existing or prospective lender.

At Landlord's option, Xxxxxx's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be an Event of Default. In addition, within ten (10) days after delivery of the request if Tenant has not delivered such statement, it shall be conclusive evidence that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented in good faith; (ii) there are no uncured defaults by Landlord; and (iii) not more than one (1) month's Rent has been paid in advance.

20. NOTICES. Any notice, request, demand, approval, consent or other communication which Landlord or Tenant may be required or permitted to give to the other, shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or via overnight courier, at the addresses specified below or to such other address as either party shall have designated by written notice to the other. Notice shall be deemed given three (3) business days after same shall have been deposited in an official United States Post Office, postage prepaid, or one (1) day after being deposited with an authorized representative of an overnight courier service such as Federal Express.

If Landlord’s Lender has given notice to Tenant that it is the holder of a mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises and such notice includes the address to which notices are to be sent, Tenant shall give to Landlord’s Lender notice simultaneously with any notice given to Landlord to correct any alleged default of Landlord hereunder. Landlord’s Lender shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice, to correct or remedy such default before Tenant may take any action pursuant to this Lease by reason of such default, provided, however, Tenant may take no action pursuant to this Lease by reason of such default if Xxxxxxxx’s Lender has commenced, during said thirty (30) day period, to remedy the alleged default and continues thereafter to use its diligence to remedy the alleged default. If Landlord’s Lender has previously notified Tenant, any notice of default given to Landlord shall be null and void unless simultaneous notice has been given to Landlord’s Lender.

21. SURRENDER. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall deliver all keys and combinations to locks, safes and vaults to Landlord. Before surrendering the Leased Premises, Tenant shall remove all its moveable personal property, including trade fixtures and decorations and, if requested by Landlord, all alterations and additions, and shall repair any damage caused thereby. All floor coverings, window, wall and ceiling treatments shall not be removed from the Leased Premises. If Tenant fails to repair any damage caused by the removal of such property from the Leased Premises, Landlord may restore the Leased Premises, and all such costs incurred thereby shall be paid by Tenant.

22. HOLDING OVER. Tenant may not remain in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term. If Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance and any such holding over shall not constitute an extension of this Lease. During such holding over, Tenant shall pay two hundred percent (200%) of the Rent in effect as of the expiration date until Xxxxxx surrenders possession. Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to grant permission to Tenant to holdover or to deprive Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect thereto.

23. BROKER'S FEE. Each party warrants to the other that, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, it has dealt with no real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease other than as stated in the Business Provisions. Each party covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and save the other party harmless from and against any actions, damages, real estate commissions, fees, costs and/or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting or arising from any commissions, fees, costs and/or expenses claimed by, or due to, any real estate broker or agent which claims to have dealt with such party in connection with this Lease.

24. LANDLORD'S RIGHTS. Landlord and Landlord’s Lender and their respective agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises, upon reasonable notice during Tenant's business hours for the purposes of inspecting same, showing the same to prospective purchasers and lenders, or lessees, and making such repairs to the Leased Premises or, subject to the terms of this Lease, to the building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary and desirable.

25.2 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating a relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereof. Neither the method of computation of Rent, nor any other provisions contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.

25.3 The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof. Each party acknowledges that it was represented by counsel in connection with this Lease and that each of them or their respective counsel reviewed and revised this Lease. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease.

25.4 Time is of the essence.

25.5 The captions used herein are for convenience only and do not limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

25.6 Upon Tenant paying the Rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing all the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Leased Premises against disturbance by Landlord or those Persons claiming by, through or under Xxxxxxxx, for the entire Lease Term, subject to all the provisions of the Lease.

25.7 The Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. Exclusive venue for any action hereunder shall be in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Subject to the provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Xxxxxx and regarding Landlord's liability, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns.

25.8 The terms "Landlord" and "Tenant", as used herein, denote both singular and plural and all genders. Where "Tenant" consists of more than one Person, whether natural or artificial, all the Persons constituting "Tenant" shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant herein. If Tenant is a corporation or other entity, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord such evidence as Landlord may require in order to evidence the authority of Tenant to execute and deliver the Lease and to perform its obligations hereunder.

25.9 Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, there shall be absolutely no personal liability on the part of Landlord, its directors, officers or shareholders, or any of its partners, their directors, officers or shareholders, with respect to any of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease. Tenant shall look solely to the interest of Landlord in the Leased Premises for the satisfaction of each and every remedy of Tenant.

25.10 The submission of this Lease for examination by Tenant does not constitute an offer or an option to lease the Leased Premises, nor is it intended as a reservation of the Leased Premises for the benefit of Tenant, nor shall the Lease have any force or validity until and unless a copy of it is returned to Tenant duly executed by Landlord.

25.11 No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any payment of Rent stipulated in this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent then due and payable.

25.12 Landlord may instruct Tenant to forward all sums due Landlord to a "lock box" account maintained by Landlord which will result in such checks being automatically deposited to Landlord's account without review or inspection prior to the same being deposited. Landlord shall not be bound by an endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment and no such endorsement, statement or letter shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, whether such check or letter is forwarded to Landlord's "lock box" or directly to Landlord, Agent or elsewhere and Landlord or Landlord's bank may accept such check or payment or prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease, at law or in equity.
