ARTICLE IX
Assignment, Subletting, Attornment, Subordination & Estoppel Certificate

9.1 Assignment By Lessee. Lessee shall not assign or sublease any rights under this Lease to any third party without the prior written consent of Lessor, which such consent may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion. Regardless of Lessor’s consent, no assignment or subletting shall release Lessee from this Lease. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

9.2 Assignment By Lessor. Lessor may assign any and all of its rights under this Lease to any third party, without Lessee’s consent.

9.3 Attornment. Lessee shall attorn and be bound to any of Lessor’s successors under all terms and conditions of this Lease.

9.4 Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or the lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing now or hereafter in force against the Premises, or any portion thereof, and to any and all advances to be made under such mortgages and all renewals, modifications, extensions, consolidations and replacements thereof. The aforesaid provisions shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to evidence such subordination. Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments subordinating this Lease on the foregoing basis to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages as shall be desired by Lessor and any mortgagees or proposed mortgagees and hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor the attorney-in-fact of Lessee to execute and deliver such instruments within ten (10) days after written notice to do so.

9.5 Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days after request by Lessor, or in the event that upon any sale, assignment or hypothecation of the Premises, Lessee agrees to deliver a certificate to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, or to Lessor, certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications), that there are no defenses or offsets thereto and the dates to which rent have been paid and whether there is any breach or default existing under the Lease.

ARTICLE X
Enjoyment, Occupation and Security

10.1 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Lessee shall pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums due from Lessee under this Lease and shall keep and perform all of the terms, covenants, obligations and conditions on its part herein contained, Lessor covenants that, subject to Lessor’s rights herein, Lessee shall have the right to the peaceful and quiet occupancy of the Premises.

10.2 Occupation and Abandonment. Lessee agrees not to vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the Term. Should Lessee vacate or abandon the Premises or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, such abandonment, vacation or dispossession shall be a breach of this Lease and, in addition to any other rights which Lessor may have, Lessor may remove any personal property belonging to Lessee which remains on or about the Premises and store the same, for the account of Lessee. Further, Lessor may proceed to dispose of said personal property either by public or private sale after posting notice of its intent to sell such property for five (5) days upon the front door of the Premises. It is agreed that Lessor may be the purchaser of all or a portion of such personal property at such sale. Lessee may redeem said property at any time prior to sale or other disposition thereof upon full payment to Lessor of the reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor taking, holding and preparing the property for sale and of any amount due from Lessee to Lessor for rent or otherwise. Should said property be disposed of by sale or other means, the proceeds shall be applied to satisfy any amount due from Lessee to Lessor for rent or otherwise, and to the reasonable expenses incurred for taking, holding and disposing of said property.

ARTICLE XI
Default and Remedies

11.1 Default. Each of the following events shall be deemed a breach of this Lease and a default by Lessee (each an “Event of Default”):

(a)	Rent. If any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other monetary sum due hereunder remains unpaid for ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Lessee;

(b)	Insolvency. If Lessee becomes insolvent, performs any act of insolvency, is not generally paying its debts as the same become due or files a petition or has a petition filed against it, under any federal bankruptcy code or law, as amended;

(c)	Use of Premises. The Premises shall be used for purposes (i) other than those listed in Section 3.1 hereof or (ii) other than those approved in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof;

(d)	Lien. Lessor shall do or permit to be done anything that creates a lien on the Premises in violation of the terms of Section 4.5 hereof;

(e)	Environmental Compliance. Lessee shall violate the terms, conditions and provisions of Section 6.2 hereof;

(f)	Assignment. Lessee shall assign or sublet the Premises without consent of Lessor pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof;

(g)	Abandonment. If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises pursuant to Section 10.2;

(h)	Failure to Perform. If Lessee fails to perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or obligations of this Lease; or

(i)	Other Agreement. If there is a breach or default under any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee.

11.2 Cure. If any Event of Default does not involve the payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other monetary sum due hereunder, is not willful or intentional, does not place any rights or property of Lessor in immediate jeopardy, is not known to Lessee and is within the reasonable power of Lessee to cure within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, then such Event of Default shall not constitute a breach or default hereunder, until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of thirty (30) days shall have elapsed. During such period Lessee may correct or cure such Event of Default, but upon Lessee’s failure to accomplish such cure within such period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind. If such Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 30-day period, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such Event of Default, then Lessee shall after receiving notice specified herein have a reasonable period to cure such Event of Default.

11.3 Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without any notice, except, if applicable, the notice required under certain circumstances by Sections 11.1 and 11.2 above, or such other notice as may be required by law and may not be waived by Lessee (all other notices being hereby waived), Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, separately, concurrently, successively or in any combination, all remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation any one or more of the following:

(a)	Termination. To terminate this Lease and take possession of the Premises;

(b)

Operate Lessee’s Business. To reenter (which reentry shall not operate to terminate this Lease unless Lessor expressly so elects) and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, any or all personal property or fixtures of Lessee upon the Premises and all franchises, licenses, permits and other rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to the use and operation of the Premises and to conduct business thereon in the name of Lessor or of Lessee, but for the sole profit and benefit of Lessor and without compensation to Lessee;

(c)

Seize Property; Lien. To seize all personal property, equipment, furniture or fixtures upon the Premises which Lessee owns or in which it has an interest, against which property Lessor shall have a Lessor’s lien and continuing security interest, which are hereby granted by Lessee, and to dispose of such property in accordance with laws prevailing at the time and place of such seizure or remove all or any portion of such property and cause the same to be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of Lessee;

(d)

Relet the Premises. To relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original term of this Lease), at such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, with all proceeds of such reletting being applied to the rentals and other sums due from Lessee in such order as Lessor may, in its sole discretion, determine, with Lessee remaining liable for any deficiency;

(e)

Remaining Rent. To declare all Base Rent, Additional Rent and charges due hereunder to be immediately due and payable and thereupon all such amounts due to the end of the Term shall thereupon be accelerated. In the event that any charges due hereunder cannot be exactly determined as of the date of acceleration, the amount of such charges shall be determined by Lessor in a reasonable manner based on historical increases in such charges; or

(f)	Attorney’s Fees. To recover from Lessee all expenses, but not limited to including attorney’s fees, reasonably paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach or default.

In addition, in the event of any breach or default by Lessee, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, immediately or at any time thereafter, and without notice, except as required herein, correct such breach or default (without, however, curing the same) for the account and at the expense of Lessee. Any sum or sums so paid by Lessee, together with interest at the rate of

eighteen percent (18%) per annum, and all costs and damages shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor.

11.4 Nonwaiver of Default. The subsequent acceptance of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums due from Lessee under this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach of any obligation by Lessee hereunder (other than Lessee’s failure to pay the particular rental so accepted), and the waiver of any breach of any covenant or condition by Lessor shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach regardless of knowledge thereof.

ARTICLE XII
Miscellaneous

12.1 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this Lease and all provisions hereof.

12.2 Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the Term, with the consent of Lessor, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, and shall be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable but Base Rent shall be equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of that payable at the expiration of this Lease.

12.3 Furniture and Fixtures. All furniture, fixtures and equipment placed in the Premises by Lessee shall remain the property of Lessee, subject to the rights of Lessor as provided by law or this Lease. Lessee may, at the expiration of the term of this Lease, remove such furniture, fixtures and equipment if removal is done so as not to damage the Premises, provided that there are no current defaults in the obligations of Lessee under this Lease which would entitle Lessor to a lien on such furniture, fixtures and equipment.

12.4 No Brokers. Lessor and Lessee each represent and warrant one to the other that neither of them has employed any other broker, realtor or agent in connection with the negotiations of the terms of this Lease or the execution thereof. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree to indemnify and to hold each other harmless against any loss, expense or liability with respect to any claims for commissions or brokerage fees arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

12.5 Confidentiality. Lessee acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Lease are to remain confidential for Lessor’s benefit, and may not be disclosed by Lessee to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without Lessor’s prior written consent; provided, however, Lessee may disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease if required by law or court order, and to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners provided same are advised by Lessee of the confidential nature of such terms and conditions and agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof (in each case, prior to disclosure). Lessee shall be liable for any disclosures made in violation of this Section 12.5 by Lessee or by any entity or individual to whom the terms of and conditions of this Lease were disclosed or made available by Lessee. The consent by Lessor to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of Lessor of any prohibition against any future disclosure.

12.6 Financial Statements. Within ten (10) days following Lessor’s written request therefor, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, the annual and quarterly financial statements of Lessee for the most recent fiscal year and quarter, which financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) (or in accordance with a method other than GAAP, provided that such financial statements fully and accurately reflect the financial condition of Lessee (or Guarantor, as the case may be), and the actual method of preparation is fully disclosed in writing), certified as to accuracy and completeness by Lessee’s manager, president or chief financial officer.

12.7 Rules and Regulations. Lessee and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives, guests and invitees shall observe faithfully and comply with any and all reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations, if any, governing the Premises, which may be prescribed from time to time by Lessor, in Lessor’s reasonable discretion. Lessor agrees to provide a copy of any rules and regulations to Lessee upon their adoption by Lessor, including any amendments or modifications thereto. Upon receipt of such rules and regulations, or amendments or modifications, thereto, Lessee agrees to carry out, observe and comply with the same.

12.8 Force Majeure. Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by Lessor or Lessee, Lessor or Lessee shall not be liable or responsible for and there shall be excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to Force Majeure Events. As used herein, the term “Force Majeure Events” means actual delays caused by unusually adverse weather conditions, fire, or other acts of God, strikes, lockouts, acts of public enemy, riots or insurrections, xxxx or any other unforeseen circumstances or events beyond the control of Lessor or Lessee (except financial circumstances or events or matters which may be resolved by the payment of money); provided, however, no delay shall suspend or xxxxx any obligation of Lessee to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums due from Lessee under this Lease.

12.9 Limitation on Lessor’s Liability. LESSEE AGREES THAT IT SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE PREMISES IN SEEKING TO ENFORCE ANY OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER OF LESSOR UNDER THIS LEASE OR TO SATISFY A JUDGEMENT (OR ANY OTHER CHARGE, DIRECTIVE OR ORDER) OF ANY KIND AGAINST LESSOR. LESSOR SHALL NOT LOOK TO THE PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF ANY OF THE MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES OF LESSOR IN SEEKING TO ENFORCE ANY OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER OF LESSOR UNDER THIS LEASE OR TO SATISFY A JUDGMENT (OR ANY OTHER CHARGE, DIRECTIVE OR ORDER) OF ANY KIND AGAINST LESSOR, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT BE SOUGHT OR OBTAINED AGAINST LESSOR. NO PERSON OR LEGAL ENTITY WHO OR WHICH IS A MEMBER, MANAGER, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF LESSOR SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES OF LESSOR UNDER THIS LEASE. LESSOR SHALL IN NO EVENT EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SPECIAL DAMAGES OR BUSINESS LOSSES.

12.10 Lessor’s Performance of Lessee’s Obligations. The performance by Lessor of any obligation required of Lessee under this Lease shall not be construed to modify this Lease, nor shall it create any obligation on the part of Lessor with respect to any performance required of Lessee under this Lease, whether Lessor’s performance was undertaken with the knowledge that Lessee was obligated to perform, or whether Lessor’s performance was undertaken as a result of mistake or inadvertence.

12.11 Relationship of Parties. The relationship of the parties hereto is strictly that of Lessor and Lessee; Lessor has no ownership in Lessee’s enterprise and this Lease shall not be construed as a joint venture or partnership.
