Lessor Lessee
THIS AGREEMENT AND LEASE was made and entered into by and between the
"Lessor" identified at paragraph A. above and the "Lessee" identified at
Paragraph B. above on the date set forth at Paragraph C. above.
Lessor does hereby lease, demise and let unto Lessee the premises located
and described in Paragraphs D. and E. above for a term commencing at 12:01 a m
on the date set forth at Paragraph F. above and expiring at midnight on the date
set forth at Paragraph G. above.
1. TENANT'S ACCEPTANCE OF PROPERTY. The Lessee accepts the building,
improvements, and personalty on the leased premises (all of which are
hereinafter referred to as "the Leased Property") in their present state and
without any representation or warranty by the Lessor as to the condition of
such property or as to the use which may be made thereof, except as stated in
the first addendum. The lessee acknowledges that the Leased Property, the title
thereto, the streets, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, curbs, utilities and
structures adjoining the same, any subsurface conditions thereof, and the
present use and non-uses thereof have been examined by the Tenant. The Lessor
shall not be responsible for any later defect or change of condition in the
Leased Property and the rent hereunder shall in no case be withheld or
diminished on account of any defect in the Leased Property and change in
conditions thereof, any damage occurring thereto, or the existence with respect
thereto of any violations of the laws or regulations of any government authority
except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein. The obligation of the
Lessee to pay the full rent herein reserved shall not be affected by any future
act of omission on the part of the Lessor with respect to the tenantability of
the Leased Property, or the building of which it is a part, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein. The taking of possession of the Leased Property
by the Lessee shall be conclusive evidence that the Lessee accepts the same "as
is" and that the Leased Property and the building and land of which the same
form a part were in good condition at the time possession was taken.
2. RENTAL. The initial rent to be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor is
the sum set forth at Paragraph H. above, said sum to be due and payable monthly
commencing on the commencement date set forth at Paragraph F. above and paid
monthly thereafter on the first day of each month during the term hereof.
3. LEASE DEPOSIT. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, the
Lessee has deposited with the Lessor the sum set forth at Paragraph J. above as
security for the performance by the Lessee of all the conditions required to be
performed by the Lessee under this Lease.
4. RENT REVISION. At the time or times, and in accordance with the
terms et forth in Paragraph K. above, the rental set forth in Paragraph H.
above shall be adjusted for the remaining term of the Lease.
5. USE OF PREMISES.
(i) The Lessee shall use the Leased Property for the conduct of the
business described at Paragraph L. above and for no other purposes whatsoever
without the Lessor's prior written consent.
(ii) The Lessee will not make any unlawful, improper or offensive use of
the Leased Property; he will not suffer any strip or waste thereof; he will not
permit an objectionable noise or odor to escape or to be emitted from the Leased
Property or do anything or permit anything to be done upon or about the Leased
Property in any way tending to create a nuisance.
(iii) The Lessee will not allow the Leased Property at any time to fall
into such a state of repair or disorder as to increase the fire hazard
thereon; he shall not install any power machinery on the Leased Property
except under the supervision and with written consent of the Lessor; he shall
not store gasoline or other highly combustible materials on the Leased
Property in such a way or for such a purpose that the fire insurance rate on
the building in which the Leased Property is locates is thereby increased or
that would prevent the Lessor from taking advantage of any rulings of the
Insurance Rating Bureau of the state in which the Leased Property is situated
which would allow the Lessor to obtain reduced premium rates for long term
fire insurance policies.
(iv) The Lessee shall comply at the Lessee's own expense with all laws and
requiations of any municipal, county, state, federal or other public authority
respecting the use of the Leased Property, including the Americans With
Disabilities Act.
(v) The Lessee will not overload the floors of the Leased Property in
such a way as to cause any undue or serious stress or strain upon the building
in which the Leased Property is located, or any part thereof, and the Lessor
shall have the right, at any time, to call upon any competent engineer or
architect whom the Lessor may choose to decide whether or not the floors of the
Leased Property, or any part thereof, are being overloaded so as to cause any
undue or serious stress or strain on said building, or any part thereof, and
the decision of said engineer or architect shall be final and binding upon the
Lessee; and in the event that the engineer or architect so called upon shall
decide that in his opinion the stress or strain is such as to endanger or injure
said building, or any part thereof, then and in that event the Lessee agrees
immediately to relieve said stress or strain either by reinforcing the building
or by lightening the load which causes such stress or strain in a manner
satisfactory to the Lessor.
6. UTILITIES. The Lessee shall pay for all heat, light, water, power,
garbage and other services of utilities used in the Leased Property during the
term of this Lease.
7. REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
(i) The Lessor shall not be required to make any repairs, alterations,
additions or improvements to or upon the Leased Property during the term of his
Lease, except only those hereinafter specifically provided for; the Lessee
hereby agrees to maintain and keep the Leased Property including, but not
limited to, all interior and exterior doors, heating, ventilating and cooling
systems, interior wiring, plumbing and drain pipes to sewers or septic tank, in
good order and repair during the entire term of the Lease at the Lessee's own
cost and expense, and to replace all glass which may be broken or damaged during
the term hereof in the windows and doors of the Leased Property with glass of as
good or better quality as that now in use; the Lessee hereby agrees to keep and
maintain the sidewalks, driveways and parking areas immediately adjoining the
Leased Property in a safe and orderly condition.
(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph M. above, the lessor agrees
to maintain in good order and repair during the term of this Lease the exterior
walls, roof, gutters, downspouts and foundations of the building in which the
Leased Property is situated. It is understood and agreed that the Lessor
reserves and at any and all times shall have the right to alter, repair or
improve the building of which the Leased Property is a part, or to add thereto,
and for that purpose at any time may erect scaffolding and all other necessary
structures upon the Leased Property, and the Lessor and Lessor's
representatives, contractors and workmen for the aforedescribed purposes may,
upon reasonable advance notice, enter in or about the Leased Property with such
materials and equipment as Lessor may deem necessary therefore. Lessee waives
any claim to damages, including loss of business resulting therefrom.
8. RIGHT OF ENTRY. It shall be lawful for the Lessor, his agents and
representatives, at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice, except in the
case of emergency, to enter into or upon the Leased Property for the purpose of
examining into the condition thereof, or any other lawful purpose. If during the
last month of the term the Lessee shall have removed all, or substantially all,
of the Lessee's property from the Leased Property, the Lessor may immediately
enter and alter, renovate, and redecorate the Leased Property, without
elimination or abatement of rent without liability to the Lessee for any
compensation, and such acts shall have no effect upon this Lease.
9. RIGHTS OF ASSIGNMENT. The Lessee will not assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, surrender or dispose of this Lease, or any interest herein, or
permit any other person or persons whomsoever to occupy the Leased Property
without the written consent of the Lessor being first obtained in writing. This
Lease is personal to the Lessee. Lessor interest, in whole or in part, cannot
be sold, assigned, transferred, seized or taken by operation at law, or under or
by virtue of any execution or legal process, attachment proceedings instituted
against Lessee, or under or by virtue of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings had in regard to the Lease or in any other manner, except as above
mentioned. Subject to the foregoing, all rights, remedies and liabilities herein
given or imposed upon either of the parties hereto, shall extend to, inure to
the benefit of, and bind, as the circumstances may require, the heirs, personal
representative, successors and, so far as this Lease is assignable by the terms
hereof, the assigns of all parties.
10. LIENS. The Lessee will not permit any lien of any kind, type or
description to be placed or imposed upon the Leased Property or any part
thereof.
11. ICE, SNOW AND DEBRIS. If the Leased Property is located at street
level, then at all times Lessee shall keep the sidewalks, curbs, driveways, and
parking spaces immediately adjoining the building (whether or not they are
included herein as Leased Property), in front thereof free and clear of ice,
snow, rubbish, debris and obstructions and if the Lessee occupies the entire
building, he will not permit rubbish, debris, ice or snow to accumulate on the
roof of said building so as to stop up or obstruct gutter downspouts or cause
damage to said roof,
12. ADVERTISING SIGNS. The lessee will not use the outside walls of the
Leased Property, or allow signs or devices of any kind to be attached thereto or
suspend therefrom, for advertising or displaying the name or business of the
Lessee or for any purpose whatsoever without the written consent of the Lessor.
13. INSURANCE COVERAGES. The Lessee shall, at all times during the term
hereof, at his own expense, keep in effect, furnish and deliver to the Lessor
insurance policies (or certificates evidencing same,) in form and with an
insurer satisfactory to the Lessor insuring:
(i) Both the Lessor and Lessee against all liability for damage to
personal property in or about said Leased Property. The amount of said
liability insurance shall be not less than the amount set forth in Paragraph N.
above.
(ii) The Lessor against the damage or destruction of the Leased Property
by fire or other casualty under a standard fire insurance policy with standard
specific extended form coverage endorsement to 100% of the full, current
replacement value.
(iii) The Lessor against business interruption including the payment of
rental to the Lessor for the period set forth in Paragraph P. above.
The renewal forms of each such policy or certificate shall be delivered to
the Lessor not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the current policy.
Each policy
shall provide that it cannot be canceled as to the Lessor with less than 15
days' notice to it.
14. INDEMNIFICATION. The Lessee agrees to and shall indemnify and
hold the Lessor harmless against any and all claims and demands arising from,
(i) the negligence of the Lessee, his officers, agents, invitees and/or
employees; (ii) the failure by the Lessee to perform any covenant required to
be performed by the Lessee hereunder, (iii) accident, injury, or damage which
shall happen in or about the Leased Property or appurtenances, or on or under
the adjoining streets, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, or curbs, or
resulting from the condition, maintenance, or operation of the Leased
Property or of the adjoining streets, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas or
curbs. Lessee's failure to comply with any requirements of any governmental
authority; and (iv) any mechanic's lien, or security agreement, filed against
the Leased Property as a result of the acts of the Lessee. The Lessee shall
at his own expense defend the Lessor against any and all suits or actions
arising out of the aforedescribed acts or acts, and all appeals therefrom and
shall satisfy and discharge any judgment which may be awarded against Lessor,
including but not limited to, the Lessor's attorney in any such suit or
action.
15. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. The Lessee shall pay all real property
taxes, assessments (general and special) and other public charges levied,
assessed or otherwise imposed upon the Leased Property, all promptly before the
same or any part thereof become past due; provided, however, that any municipal,
county or state assessment over $2,000.00 total which become or may become a
lien on the premises, may be bonded by the Lessee as provided by law, and the
Lessee shall pay all installment on principal and interest on such bonds
during his tenancy, but shall be released from all obligation for payment of
installments becoming due after the end of the lease herein reserved without
proration. The Lessee shall also pay promptly, when due, all taxes levied
against his own personal property and all taxes, assessments and public
charges whatsoever arising in respect to, and because of, the Lessee's
occupancy, use or possession of the leased property. Such real property
taxes for which the commencement and expiration of the term of this Lease
shall fall shall be appropriately pro-rated and adjusted between the Lessor
and the Lessee. The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor, within 30 days after
the date any amount is payable by the Lessee, as provided in this Paragraph,
copies of official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority or other
proof satisfactory to the Lessor evidencing payment.
16. LESSEE'S ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. No alteration, addition, or
improvement to the Leased Property shall be made by the Lessee without the
written consent of the Lessor. Any alteration, addition, or improvement made by
the Lessee after such consent shall have been given, and any fixtures installed
as part thereof, (except Lessee movable trade fixtures), shall at the Lessor's
option, become the property of the Lessor upon the expiration or other sooner
termination of this Lease; provided, however, the Lessor shall have the right to
require the Lessee to remove such fixtures at the Lessee's cost upon such
termination of this Lease.
17. DAMAGE BY CASUALTY OR FIRE AND DUTY TO REPAIR. If all or any part
of the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty subject
to coverage under the standard fire insurance policy with standard special or
extended form coverage endorsement applicable to the Leased Property, the Lessor
shall, except as otherwise provided herein, repair and rebuild the Leased
Property with reasonable diligence. If there is a substantial interference with
the operation of the Lessee's business in the leased Property, the then
applicable rental shall be equitably apportioned for the duration of such
repairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if at any time within
eighteen months prior to the end of the initial or any renewal term, and
provided the Lessee shall not have served upon the Lessor notice of renewal or
extension as herein provided, the Leased Property is completely destroyed or so
damaged by fire or other casualty covered by insurance as to render it unfit for
the use as set forth at Paragraph L. above, the Lessor may terminate this Lease
on 30 days' written notice to the Lessee. If all or any substantial part of the
Leased Property is damaged or destroyed by casualty which is not subject to
coverage under the standard fire insurance policy with standard special or
extended form coverage endorsement applicable to the Leased Property, or if
subject to such coverage, the loss is, in fact, not covered to within 100% of
replacement, the Lessor may terminate this Lease upon 30 days' written notice to
the Lessee. If the Lessor shall terminate this Lease as provided herein, all
rent shall be apportioned to the date of termination and all insurance proceeds
shall belong to the Lessor. Except to the extent provided for in the Paragraph,
neither the rent payable by the Lessee nor any of the Lessee's other obligations
under any provision of this Lease shall be affected by any damage to or
destruction of the Leased Property by any cause whatsoever, and the Lessee
hereby expressly waives any and all additional rights it might otherwise have
under any law or statute.
18. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS. Neither the Lessor nor the Lessee
shall be liable to the other for loss arising out of damage to, or destruction
of, the Leased Property or the contents thereof, when such loss is caused by any
of the perils which are or could be included within or insured against by a
standard fire insurance policy with standard extended or special form coverage
endorsement, including sprinkler leakage insurance and business interruption
insurance, if any. All such claims for any and all loss, however caused, hereby
are waived. Said absence of liability shall exist whether or
not the damage or destruction is caused by the negligence of either Lessor or
Lessee or by any of their respective agents, servants or employees. Neither
the Lessor nor the Lessee shall have any interest or claim in the other's
insurance policy or policies or the proceeds thereof, unless specifically
covered therein as a joint assured and notwithstanding any provision hereof
requiring the Lessee to furnish such coverages on behalf of the Lessor. If
the Lessee, at any time, is unable to obtain inclusion of any of the matters
set forth above in any of its policies, the Lessee shall, at its own expense,
have the Lessor named in such policies as one of the insureds.
19. EMINENT DOMAIN.
(i) If the whole of the Leased Property shall be taken for any public or
any quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by
private purchase in lieu thereof, then the Lease shall automatically terminate
as of the date that title shall be taken. If any part of the Leased Property
shall be so taken as to render the remainder thereof unusable for the purposes
for which the Leased Property was leased as set forth in Paragraph L., then the
Lessor and the Lessee shall each have the right to terminate this Lease on 30
days' notice to the other given not later than the date of such taking. In the
event that this Lease shall terminate or be terminated, the rental shall, if and
as necessary, be equitably adjusted.
(ii) If a part of the Leased Property shall be taken as provided in
Subparagraph (i) above, without so rendering the remainder of the Leased
Property unusable, then the Lessor shall rebuild and restore the Leased Property
with reasonable diligence, and if there is a substantial interference with the
operation of the Lessee's business in the Leased Property the then applicable
rental shall be equitably apportioned for the duration of such rebuilding and
restoration; provided, however, that the cost of such work shall not exceed the
proceeds of its condemnation award; and provided, further, that if such taking
occurs within 18 months prior to the end of the initial or any renewal term, the
Lessor may upon 30 days' notice given to the Lessee on or before the date of
such taking elect not to so rebuild or restore the Leased Property.
(iii) All compensation awarded or paid upon such a total or partial taking
of the Leased Property shall belong to and be the property of the Lessor without
any participation by the Lessee; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be construed to preclude the Lessee from prosecuting any claim
directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceedings for
loss of business, or depreciation to damage to, or cost of removal of, or for
the value of stock, trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal property
belonging to he Lessee; provided, further, however, that no such claim shall
diminish or otherwise adversely affect the Lessor's award or the award of any
fee mortgagee.
20. LESSOR'S SIGNS. During the periods specified in Paragraph Q. above,
the Lessor may post on the Leased Property, including the windows thereof, signs
of moderate size notifying the public that the premises are "for sale" or "for
rent" or "for lease".
21. SURRENDER UPON TERMINATION. At the expiration of this term of the
Lease or upon any sooner termination hereof, the Lessee will quit and deliver up
said Leased Property and all future erections or additions to or upon the same,
broom clean, to the Lessor or those having Lessor's estate in the premises,
peaceably quiet, and in a good order and condition, reasonable use and wear
thereof, damage or loss excused pursuant to the terms hereof excepted, as the
same are now in or hereafter may be put in by the Lessor and Lessee.
22. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. In the event that the Lessee shall fail to
deliver up the Leased Property as above agreed, he shall become liable for the
payment, at the option of the Lessor, of a sum for each and every day which
he holds possession and fails to deliver over possession in the amount set
forth at Paragraph R. above. The lessor by availing itself of the rights and
privileges granted by this provision and the acceptance of said liquidated
rental shall not be deemed to have waived any of the rights and privileges
granted in other parts of this Lease, but the rights granted under this
provision shall be considered, in any event, as in addition to, and not in
exclusion of, such rights and privileges.
23. HOLDING OVER. In the event the Lessee for any reason shall hold
over after the expiration of this Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed
to operate as a renewal or extension of this Lease, but shall only create a
tenancy from month-to-month which may be terminated at will at any time by the
Lessor.
24. ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COURT COSTS. In case suit, action, or
arbitration is instituted to enforce compliance with any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Lease, or to collect the rental which may become due
hereunder, or any portion thereof or to enforce any right of Lessor while Lessee
is holding over after expiration hereof, the losing party agrees to pay such sum
as the trial court or arbitrators may adjudge reasonable as attorney's fees to
be allowed the prevailing party in such suit, action, or arbitration and in the
event any appeal is taken from any judgment or decree in such suit or action,
the losing party agrees to pay such further sum as the appellate court shall
adjudge reasonable as prevailing party's attorney's fees on such appeal.
25. WAIVER. Any waiver by either party of any breach of any covenant
herein contained to be kept and performed by the other party shall not be deemed
or considered as a continuing waiver, and shall not operate to bar or prevent
the party from declaring as forfeiture for any succeeding breach, either of the
same condition or covenant or otherwise.
26. NOTICES. Any notice required by the terms of this Lease to be given
by one party to the other or desired so to be given, shall be sufficient if in
writing contained in a sealed envelope, deposited in the U.S. Registered or
Certified Mails with postage fully prepaid, and if intended for the Lessor, then
if addressed to said Lessor at the address set forth in Paragraph A. above and
if intended for the Lessee, then if addressed to the Lessee at the address set
forth for it in Paragraph B. above.
27. DELAY OF POSSESSION. If the Lessor for any reason cannot deliver
possession of the Leased Property to the Lessee at the commencement of the Lease
term, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall the Lessor be liable
to the Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but there shall be an
abatement of rent for the period between the commencement of the Lease term and
the time when the Lessor does deliver possession.
28. QUIET ENJOYMENT. The Lessee, upon the payment of the rent herein
reserved and upon the performance of, and subject to the provisions of this
Lease, shall at all times during the Lease term and during any extension or
renewal term peaceably and quietly enjoy the Leased Property without any
disturbance from the Lessor or from any other person claiming through the
Lessor.
29. PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. If the Lessee shall be in
default hereunder, the lessor may cure such default on behalf of the Lessee, in
which event the Lessee shall reimburse the Lessor for all sums paid to effect
such cure, together with interest at the highest legal rate. In order to
collect such reimbursement the Lessor shall have all the remedies available
under this Lease for a default in the payment of rent.
30. ARBITRATION. In the event of any controversy between the parties
over the application of Paragraphs 17., 19., or 27. hereof, the same shall be
settled by arbitration at Portland, Oregon in accordance with the then existing
rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award
rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
31. DEFAULT.
(i) The Lessor may give the Lessee five days' notice of intention to
terminate this lease in any of the following circumstances:
1. If the Lessee shall be in default in the performance of any
covenant of the lease (other than the covenants for the payment of basic rent or
additional rent) and such is not cured within 15 days after written notice
thereof given by the Lessor; or, if such default shall be of such nature that it
cannot be cured completely within such 15-day period, if the Lessee shall not
have promptly commenced the cure within such 15-day period or shall not
thereafter proceed with reasonable diligence and in good faith to remedy such
default.
2. If the Lessee shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the benefit of any insolvency act,
or if a permanent receiver or trustee in bankruptcy shall be appointed for the
Lessee's property and such appointment is not vacated within 90 days. For these
purposes the "Lessee" shall mean the tenant then in possession of the Leased
Property.
3. If the Leased Property becomes abandoned for a period of 30 days.
4. If this Lease shall be assigned or the Leased Property sublet other
than in accordance with the terms of this Lease and such default is not cured
within 15 days after notice.
(ii) The Lessor may give the Lessee 10 days written notice of intention to
terminate this Lease if the Lessee shall be in default in the payment of the
initial rent or any additional rent.
(iii) If the Lessor shall give the notice of intention to terminate
provided above, then at the expiration of such period this Lease shall terminate
as completely as if that were the date herein definitely fixed for the
expiration of the term of this Lease, and the Lessee shall then surrender the
Leased Property to the Lessor. If this Lease shall so terminate, it shall be
lawful for the Lessor, at its option, without formal demand or notice of any
kind, to re-enter the Leased Property by a forcible entry and detainer action or
by any other means, including force, and to remove the Lessee and his
possessions therefrom without being liable for any damages therefor. Upon the
termination of this Lease, as herein provided, the Lessor shall have the right,
at its election, to terminate any sublease then in effect, without the consent
of the sublessee concerned.
(iv) The Lessee shall remain liable for all its obligations under this
Lease despite the Lessor's re-entry, and the Lessor may re-rent or use the
Leased Property as agent for the Lessee, if the Lessor so elects. The Lessee
waives any legal requirement for notice of intention to re-enter and any right
of redemption.
(v) If this Lease shall terminate as provided in this Paragraph the
Lessor shall have the right, at its election at any time, to recover from the
Lessee the amount by which the rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved
herein for the balance of the term shall exceed the reasonable rental value of
the Leased Property for the same period.
32. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each party, within ten (10) days after notice
from the other party, shall execute and deliver to the other party, in
recordable form a certificate stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the
modifications. The certificate shall also state the day on which the term of the
Lease commenced, the date of expiration of
the initial term of the Lease, the amount of the minimum monthly rent, the
dates to which the rent has been paid in advance, and that the Lease
represents the entire agreement between the parties, that there are no
defaults by the party to whom the certificate is given not any defenses or
offsets against such party, that all amounts due as rental under the Lease
have been paid through and including a date specified in the certificate, and
the amount of any security deposit or prepaid rent. Failure to deliver the
certificate within such ten (10) days shall be conclusive upon the party
failing to deliver the certificate for the benefit of the party requesting
the certificate that this Lease is in full force and effect, that it has not
been modified except as may be requested by the party requesting the
certificate, and that there are no defaults by or offsets or defenses against
the party requesting the certificate.
33. SUBORDINATION.
(a) This Lease , at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground
lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other security now or hereafter placed upon
the real property of which the premises are a party and to any and all advances
made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination,
Lessee's right to quiet possession of the premises shall not be disturbed if
Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the rent and observe
and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise
terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessee
shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust
or ground lease and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease
shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether
this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of
trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure
to execute such documents within 10 days after written demand shall constitute a
material default by Lessee hereunder.
34. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(i) Time is of the essence of this Lease with respect of performance by
each party of his obligations hereunder.
(ii) In construing this Lease, masculine or feminine pronouns shall be
substituted for those neuter in form and vice versa, and plural terms shall be
substituted for singular and singular for plural in any place in which the
context requires.
(iii) If there is more than one party tenant, the covenants of the Lessee
shall be the joint and several obligations of each such party, and, if the
Lessee is a partnership the covenants of the Lessee shall be the joint and
several obligations of each of the partners and the obligations of the firm.

overrun in excess of $59,723 for the listed items shall be
paid by Lessor, but still cause the monthly rent to be

building that is the subject of this lease. As consideration
for so terminating this Lease, the Lessee agrees to pay as
cost reimbursement to Lessor an amount equal to the

amortization shall assume a 9 percent interest rate and
five-year amortization period. Lease cancellation fee must be

shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
