THIS
LAND
AND BUILDING LEASE (the "Lease") is made and entered into as of October 27,
2006
(the “Effective Date”), between FRI
FISH, LLC
("Landlord") and
SHELLS OF NEW SMYRNA BEACH, INC.
(“Tenant”).
RECITALS
A. Landlord
is the owner of the tract
of
real property (the “Real Property”), and lessee of an adjacent parking lot
parcel (“Leased Property”) (the Real Property and Leased Property are
collectively referred to as the “Property”). The Property is more particularly
described in Exhibit A attached hereto.
B. Tenant
desires to lease from Landlord the Property so that Tenant may, in accordance
with and subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Lease,
operate a Shells family dining restaurant at the Real Property. The buildings
and all improvements to or on the Real Property, including but not limited
to
all site work, landscaping, fixtures, utilities, and other improvements, is
referred to as the "Building". Certain personal property located at the Demised
Premises, and moveable trade fixtures (as defined in Section 22.02) are owned
by
Tenant and are described on Exhibit B attached hereto and are not included
in
the definition of Building or Real Property leased to Tenant pursuant to this
Lease.
C. The
Property and the Building shall be referred to as the "Demised
Premises."
D. Tenant
desires to lease the Demised Premises from Landlord on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the lease of the Demised Premises and the rents,
covenants and conditions herein set forth, Landlord and Tenant do hereby
covenant, promise and agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I
DEMISE
OF PREMISES
Landlord
does hereby lease unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby hire from Landlord, for
the term hereinafter provided in Section 2.01, the Demised Premises for the
use
thereof by Tenant, Tenant's employees, concessionaires, licensees, agents,
customers and invitees, which use shall be exclusive except as otherwise
provided in Section 3.06 or elsewhere herein.
4
ARTICLE
II
TERM
Section
2.01
(a) The
"Commencement Date" of this Lease shall be upon the Effective Date. The Lease
shall continue for a period of twenty (20) years following the Effective
Date
(the
“Original Lease Term”). The “Lease Term”, as such term is used herein, shall
mean the Original Lease Term as
extended (or as may be extended) pursuant to Section 2.02 below.
(b) This
Lease shall be deemed to be in full force and effect upon the Effective Date.
Tenant shall be deemed in possession of the Demised Premises upon the Effective
Date.
Section
2.02
(a) Tenant
shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for up to four
(4)
separate option periods upon and
subject to the terms set forth below in this Section
2.02. The first option period shall commence at the expiration of the Original
Lease Term and each subsequent option period shall commence at the expiration
of
the previous option period. The option periods are sometimes referred to herein
collectively as the “Option Periods” and individually as an “Option Period.”
Each Option Period shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the
commencement date
of
such Option Period. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the
terms and conditions of this Lease applicable to the Original Lease Term shall
continue to apply during each Option Period. To validly extend the Lease Term
for each Option Period, Tenant (a)
must
and shall deliver to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s election to so extend
not later than 180 days prior to the commencement
of such Option Period and (b) shall not be in default, beyond the expiration
of
any applicable cure period under any material term or condition of this Lease
as
of the date of such notice or the commencement of such Option Period.
Without
limiting anything contained in Article XXXIII hereof, time is of the essence
in
the performance of each
provision of this
Section
2.02.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing to the contrary, the Lease Term with respect to the Leased
Property only shall expire on the date (if earlier than the date otherwise
provided herein) one day prior to the date of expiration of the lease with
respect to the Leased Property (“Parking Area Lease”). Provided that Tenant
delivers Landlord prompt written notice of its election to extend the term
of
the Parking Area Lease within the time periods required under such Parking
Area
Lease, Landlord will exercise any renewal options to extend the term of such
Parking Area Lease. In the event Tenant elects not to extend the term of the
Parking Area Lease or fails to do so within the time periods required under
such
Parking Area Lease, then Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to extend the term of the Parking Area Lease. The expiration or termination
of
the Parking Area Lease during the Lease Term shall have no effect on this Lease,
other than with respect to any default by Tenant pursuant to Section
3.05(e).
5
ARTICLE
III
RENT
Section
3.01
Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, from and after the Commencement Date and thereafter
throughout the Lease Term, the sums set forth in this Lease as "Rent" without
prior demand therefor and without offset, deduction, or abatement except as
may
be otherwise expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
amounts due by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for which no due date is expressly
specified herein (e.g., the first day of each month) shall be due within ten
(10) days following the giving to Tenant by Landlord of written notice of such
amounts due, except if some other period of time following written notice or
demand is otherwise expressly provided below, then such other period shall
apply. As used herein, “Rent” shall be deemed to include not only Fixed Rent but
also all additional sums payable or owed by Tenant under this Lease,
including without limitation as set forth in Section 3.07
("Additional Rent”). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the event
of nonpayment by Tenant of any Rent, Landlord shall have the same rights and
remedies in respect thereof regardless of whether such Rent constitutes Fixed
Rent or Additional Rent. All payments of Rent to be paid to Landlord shall
be
paid to Landlord (at its election) in one of the following manners: (1) via
electronic deposit into an account designated by Landlord, (2) by mail at the
Landlord's office indicated in Article XIX or (3) by mail to any other place
designated by Landlord upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice
to
Tenant. If the Effective
Date (and
the
Commencement Date)
shall
not be the first day of a calendar month, then the rent for such month shall
be
prorated based upon a Three Hundred Sixty-Five (365) day year.
Section
3.02
Intentionally left blank.
Section
3.03 Fixed
Rent:
The
"Fixed Rent" for the Demised Premises for each month of the Lease Term prior
to
the first anniversary of the Commencement Date shall be $10,277.78.
On the
first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and thereafter, on each anniversary
of such date throughout the Lease Term, the monthly Fixed Rent shall increase
by
two percent (2%) over the Fixed Rent charged in the immediately preceding month
of the Lease Term, and such increase shall apply for the ensuing year. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord Fixed Rent in advance, without demand therefor, on the
first day of each calendar month commencing with the Commencement
Date.
Section
3.04
Intentionally left blank.
Section
3.05 Additional
Rent.
(a) Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all "Real Estate Taxes" (as
hereinafter defined) assessed against, or allocable or attributable to each
of
the Demised Premises whether accruing prior to or after the Effective Date.
Real
Estate Taxes for the last year of the Lease Term shall be prorated. As used
herein, the term "Real Estate Taxes" means all taxes and general and special
assessments and other impositions in lieu thereof, as a supplement thereto
and
any other tax which is measured by the value of real property and assessed
on a
uniform basis against the owners of real property, including excise taxes
described in Section 3.05 (d) and any substitution in whole or in part of any
of
the foregoing due to a future change in the method of taxation. Nothing
contained in this Lease, however, shall require the Tenant to pay any estate,
inheritance, corporate, franchise or income tax of Landlord, nor shall any
of
same be deemed Real Estate Taxes, unless same shall be specifically imposed
in
substitution for, or in lieu of, Real Estate Taxes, and then only to the extent
same are limited to the Demised Premises as if it were the only property owned
by Landlord. If by law, any general or special assessment or like charge may
be
paid in installments without any penalty or interest whatsoever, then such
assessment shall be paid in such installments and Tenant shall only be liable
for the portion thereof that is allocable or attributable to the Lease Term
or
any portion thereof.
6
(b) Tenant
shall pay the Real Estate Taxes on or before five (5) business days prior to
the
earlier of (i) the delinquency thereof, or (ii) the date that any penalty or
interest would accrue on any unpaid installment. Landlord shall have the tax
xxxx for the Demised Premises sent directly to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay
the
tax xxxx directly to the collecting authority, and in such event Tenant shall
provide Landlord a copy of the paid receipt for each installment of Real Estate
Taxes so paid. If Tenant fails to pay the Real Estate Taxes when due hereunder,
then Tenant shall, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord,
reimburse Landlord for any and all penalties or interest, or portion thereof,
incurred by Landlord as a result of such nonpayment or late payment by Tenant.
(c) Tenant
shall have the right to seek an abatement of Real Estate Taxes or a reduction
in
the valuation of the Demised Premises and/or contest the applicability of any
Real Estate Taxes to the Demised Premises or the improvements thereon; provided,
however, Tenant shall have paid timely all amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(b)
above. In any instance where any such action or such proceeding is being
undertaken by Tenant, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no
cost or expense to Landlord, and execute any and all documents approved by
Landlord required in connection therewith. Tenant shall be entitled
to
any
refund (after the deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith) of any Real Estate Taxes and penalties or
interest thereon received by Tenant or Landlord, whether or not such refund
was
a result of proceedings instituted by Tenant, which have been paid by Tenant
or
paid by Landlord for the benefit of Tenant and repaid to Landlord by
Tenant.
(d) Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, with each payment of Rent due hereunder, all taxes
imposed upon Landlord with respect to rental or other payments in the nature
of
a gross receipts tax, sales tax, privilege tax or the like, excluding federal
or
state net income taxes, whether imposed by a federal, state or local taxing
authority, which when added to such rental or other payment shall yield to
Landlord after deduction of all such tax payable by Landlord with respect to
all
such payments a net amount which Landlord would have realized from such payment
had no such tax been imposed.
(e) Without
limiting anything contained in subsection 3.03(a), Tenant shall pay, as
Additional Rent all Parking Area Lease Rent (hereinafter defined). Tenant shall
be responsible for directly paying to the Parking Area Lease landlord the
Parking Area Lease Rent, and shall indemnify Landlord from any liability, cost
or expense incurred in connection with the Parking Area Lease. Tenant shall
promptly send to Landlord any notices that Tenant receives from the Parking
Area
Lease landlord. “Parking Area Lease Rent” shall mean, (i) all Parking Area Lease
Rent and (ii) all Parking Area Lease Additional Rent. The term Parking Area
Lease Rent refers to the amounts required to be paid under the Parking Area
Lease as “base rent” or “fixed rent”; “Parking Area Lease Additional Rent” shall
mean any monetary obligations of Landlord under the Parking Area Lease, other
than the Parking Area Lease Base Rent, but including any indemnity obligations
of the “tenant” thereunder.
7
Section
3.06 Matters
of Record:
Tenant
hereby accepts the Demised Premises in the condition as of the date of
possession hereunder, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county,
and
state laws, ordinances, and regulations, including private easements and
restrictions
(whether
or not evidence thereof is recorded in the public records),
governing and regulating the use of the Demised Premises, and accepts this
Lease
subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby, and by any exhibits
attached hereto (“Diligence Matters”). Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord
nor Landlord’s agent has made any representation or warranty as to the
suitability of the Leased Property for the conduct of the Tenant’s
business.
Section
3.07 Additional
Charges:
Tenant
and Landlord agree that the rent accruing under this Lease shall be net to
Landlord and that all taxes, costs, promotional fees, common area maintenance
fees, expenses and charges of every kind and nature, including attorneys’ fees
incurred by Landlord in enforcing the provisions of this lease, whether or
not
any legal proceedings are commenced ("Additional Charges") arising in connection
with or relating to the Demised Premises (excluding, however, (1) taxes other
than Real Estate Taxes for which Landlord is responsible under Section 3.05(a)
and (2) any payments for interest or principal under any fee mortgage relating
to the Demised Premises) which may arise or become due at any time during the
Lease Term, shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant hereby indemnifies, defends,
protects, and saves Landlord wholly harmless from and against any and all
Additional Charges. As used herein, the term “Additional Rent” shall include,
without limitation, all of the following: (1) any and all Additional Charges
for
which Tenant is responsible hereunder, or which Tenant otherwise assumes or
agrees to pay; (2) all interest and penalties that may accrue on such Additional
Charges if Tenant fails to pay them timely within any applicable cure periods;
(3) all other damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal and court costs) which Landlord
may
suffer or incur in enforcing this Lease; and (4) any and all other sums which
may become due by reason of Tenant's default or failure to comply with its
obligations under this Lease.
Section
3.08 Late
Charge:
Without
limiting anything contained in Article XVI of this Lease and in
addition
to all other remedies set forth in this Lease, any payment of Fixed Rent due
to
Landlord not received by Landlord within ten (10) days after such payment is
due
hereunder, and any payment of Additional Rent due to Landlord not received
by
Landlord when due hereunder, shall be deemed delinquent and cause Tenant to
incur a late charge of three percent (3%) on each delinquent payment, due and
payable immediately with the delinquent Fixed Rent or delinquent Additional
Rent, as the case may be.
8
Section
3.09 Character
of Demised Premises:
From the
Commencement Date and thereafter throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall conduct
its business in a first class and reputable manner consistent with Tenant’s
prior operating practices with respect to the Demised Premises. Tenant shall
open and operate a Shells family dining restaurant at the Demised Premises
continuously during all hours which is customary for similarly situated Shells
restaurants, subject to temporary closing due to casualty, condemnation,
remodeling or other force majeure condition. The character of the occupancy
of
the Demised Premises is an additional consideration and inducement for the
granting of this Lease.
ARTICLE
IV
USE
Tenant
may use the Demised Premises to operate a Shells family dining restaurant,
including beer, wine and liquor sales, and such other incidental uses related
thereto in Tenant’s discretion. Tenant may use the Demised Premises only for the
uses expressly permitted under this Section, and for no other use without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article, Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or entity to
use
the Demised Premises or any portion thereof for any purpose in violation of
any
applicable law, ordinance or regulation.
ARTICLE
V
ACCEPTANCE
OF DEMISED PREMISES
Tenant
acknowledges that it has owned the Demised Premises prior to execution of this
Lease and has had the opportunity to perform all tests, studies and inspections
that it desires, and that Tenant is accepting the Demised Premises subject
to
all Diligence Matters and in its AS IS condition existing on the date Tenant
executes this Lease.
ARTICLE
VI
ALTERATIONS
Tenant
shall have no right to make changes, alterations or additions (collectively,
"Alterations") to the Building which will require changes to the foundation,
roof, exterior walls or utility systems at the Building without prior written
consent of Landlord, which Landlord agrees it will not withhold unreasonably;
provided, however, in no event shall any Alterations be made which, after
completion, would: (i) reduce the value of the Building as it existed prior
to
the time that said Alterations are made; or (ii) adversely affect the structural
integrity of the Building. Any and all Alterations made by Tenant shall be
at
Tenant's sole cost and expense. Prior
to
the commencement of construction, Tenant shall deliver promptly to Landlord
detailed cost estimates for any proposed Alterations, as well as all available
drawings, plans and other information regarding such Alterations
(such
estimates, drawings, plans and other information are collectively referred
to
herein as the “Alteration Information”). Landlord’s review and/or approval of
any Alteration Information shall in no event constitute any representation
or
warranty of Landlord regarding (x) the compliance of any Alteration Information
with any governmental or legal requirements, (y) the presence or absence of
any
defects in any Alteration Information, or (z) the safety or quality of any
of
the Alterations constructed in accordance with any plans or other Alteration
Information. Landlord’s review and/or approval of any of the Alteration
Information shall not preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant based upon
the Alterations, the Alteration Information, or any defects therein.
In
making any and all Alterations, Tenant also shall comply with all of the
following conditions:
9
(a) No
Alterations shall be undertaken until Tenant shall have (i) procured and paid
for, so far as the same may be required, all necessary permits and
authorizations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such
Alterations, and (ii) delivered to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior
to
commencing any such Alterations written evidence reasonably acceptable to
Landlord of all such permits and authorizations. Landlord shall, to the extent
necessary (but at no cost, expense, or risk of loss to Landlord), join in the
application for such permits or authorizations whenever necessary, promptly
upon
written request of Tenant.
(b) Any
and
all structural Alterations of the Building shall be performed under the
supervision of an architect and/or structural engineer.
(c) Tenant
shall notify Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to commencing any
Alterations so as to permit, and Tenant shall permit, Landlord access to the
Demised Premises in order to post and keep posted thereon such notice(s) as
may
be provided or required by applicable law to disclaim responsibility for any
construction on the Demised Premises.
(d) Any
and
all Alterations shall be conducted and completed promptly (subject to the terms
of Article XVII), in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with
all
applicable laws, municipal ordinances, building codes and permits, and
requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the
Demised Premises, and of the local Board of Fire Underwriters, if any; and,
within thirty (30) days after completion of any and all Alterations, Tenant
shall obtain and, upon Landlord’s request, deliver to Landlord a copy of the
amended certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises, if required under
applicable law or by governmental authority. Any and all Alterations shall
be
made and conducted so as not to disrupt Tenant's business; provided however
that
major alterations which require closing of the business on a temporary basis
may
be made so long as otherwise in compliance with the provisions of this
Lease.
(e) The
cost
of any and all Alterations shall be promptly paid by Tenant so that the Demised
Premises at all times shall be free of any and all liens for labor and/or
materials supplied for any Alterations.
ARTICLE
VII
REPAIRS
AND MAINTENANCE
Tenant,
at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the Demised Premises and each
part
thereof, structural and non-structural, in good order and condition and, subject
to the terms and conditions of Article VI, if and as applicable, shall make
any
necessary Repairs thereto, interior and exterior, whether extraordinary,
foreseen or unforeseen. When used in this Article VII, the term "Repairs" shall
include all such replacements, renewals, alterations, additions and betterments
necessary for Tenant to properly maintain the Demised Premises in good order
and
condition and in compliance with all applicable laws. The necessity for, and
adequacy of, any and all Repairs to the Demised Premises required or conducted
pursuant to this Article VII shall be measured by and meet, at a minimum, all
of
the following standards: (1) at least equal in quality and class to the
condition of the Demised Premises prior to the need for such Repairs; (2) at
least equal in quality and class to the condition of buildings and related
facilities of similar construction and class in the general geographic area
of
the Demised Premises are generally maintained; (3) subject to the terms and
conditions of Article VI, avoidance of any and all structural damage or injury
to the Building or persons therein; (4) any and all maintenance, service,
operation and repair standards and requirements set forth by Tenant
for its (or
its
subsidiaries’ or affiliates’) restaurants;
(5) any and all repairs, replacements or upgrades necessary to ensure compliance
with the
rules
and regulations of all governmental agencies, including
all
Environmental
Laws
(as
defined below);
and (6)
no mold which inhibits or impairs the intended use of the Demised Premises
shall
be permitted to remain unabated at the Demised Premises. Landlord shall have
no
duty whatsoever to maintain, replace, upgrade, or repair any portion of the
Demised Premises. If Tenant fails or neglects to make all necessary Repairs
or
fulfill its other obligations as set forth above, then Landlord or its agents
may enter the Demised Premises for the purpose of making such Repairs or
fulfilling those obligations. All costs and expenses incurred as a consequence
of Landlord's action shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent
within fifteen (15) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant copies of invoices
for such Repairs or other obligations. These invoices shall be prima facie
evidence of the payment of the charges to be paid by Landlord. Except in the
case of emergency, Landlord shall refrain from taking any such action unless
Tenant has not commenced and diligently pursued making such repairs or
fulfilling such obligations within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers
written notice of the proposed actions to be taken by Landlord.
10
ARTICLE
VIII
COMPLIANCE
WITH LAW
Tenant
shall, throughout the Lease Term, at its sole cost and expense, comply, in
all
material respects, with all laws and regulations of federal, state, municipal
and local governments, departments, commissions and boards pursuant to law,
or
directives or orders issued pursuant thereto, including without limitation
all
Environmental Laws and the Americans With Disabilities Act, with respect to,
regarding, or pertaining to the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, contest or
appeal such requirements or orders. To the extent any such contest or appeal
by
Tenant suspends any and all obligations on the part of Tenant, Landlord, or
the
Demised Premises to comply with such requirements or orders, and suspends any
and all applicability of such requirements or orders to the Demised Premises,
Tenant shall not be required to comply with any such laws, regulations, orders,
requirements or rules. In no event shall any such appeals, contests or
proceedings pursued by Tenant subject Landlord to criminal liability or any
civil liability. Upon final resolution of any such appeal, proceeding or contest
pursued by Tenant, Tenant shall comply with the judgment, finding or order
of
the governmental authority so resolving such appeal, proceeding or contest,
and
shall be liable in full for any and all fines, penalties, charges or costs
of
any type whatsoever which accrue during the pendency of any contest or appeal.
11
ARTICLE
IX
UTILITIES
Without
limiting any of Tenant’s obligations set forth in Article III, Tenant shall be
solely responsible for, and shall pay the cost of all utility services provided
to the Demised Premises throughout the Lease Term.
ARTICLE
X
DISCLAIMER
AND INDEMNITY
Section
10.01 As
used
in this Lease, (x) “Landlord Parties” means, collectively, Landlord, Landlord’s
Affiliates and Landlord’s Lender; (y) “Landlord’s Affiliates” means Landlord’s
members, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, or any person
or entity that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Landlord, (for
purposes of this definition, the term “control,” “controlled by” or “under

direction of the management and policies of Landlord, whether through the
ownership of voting stock, by contract, as trustee or executor, or otherwise);

under any circumstances (except only Landlord (and not any other Landlord
Parties)
in the
event of, and then only to the extent directly attributable to, Landlord’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct),
for
any loss, injury, death or damage to person or property (including but not
limited to the business or any loss of income or profit therefrom) of Tenant,
Tenant's members, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees,

which arises from the condition of the Demised Premises, from occupants of
adjacent property, from the public, or from any other sources or places, and
regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of
repairing the same are inaccessible to Tenant, or which may arise through
repair, alteration or maintenance of any part of the Demised Premises or failure
to make any such repair, from any condition or defect in, on or about the
Demised Premises including any “Environmental Conditions” (as defined in Article
XXXVII) or the presence of any mold or any Hazardous Materials (as defined

Section
10.05
The
provisions of this Article
X shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives
the provisions of any applicable laws restricting the release of claims which
the releasing parties do not know or suspect to exist at the time of release,

unanticipated and unsuspected, and Tenant further agrees, represents and
warrants that the release provided hereunder has been negotiated and agreed
upon
in light of that realization and that Tenant nevertheless hereby intends to
release, discharge and acquit the parties set forth herein above from any such
unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs,
losses and expenses which are in any manner set forth in or related to this
Lease, the Demised Premises and all dealings in connection
therewith.
ARTICLE
XI
INSURANCE
Section
11.01
(a) Liability
Insurance.
Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, provide and cause
to be maintained comprehensive general public liability insurance with an
insurance company licensed to do business in each state in which the Demised
Premises is located and which is approved by Landlord (which approval shall
not
be unreasonably withheld), against claims for bodily injury, death or property
damage occurring on, in or about each of the Demised Premises, such insurance
to
afford a minimum coverage protection of not less than Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) combined single limit (per occurrence) for injury to, or death
of,
persons and loss of, or damage to, property. Such coverage shall include a
contractual obligation endorsement covering Tenant's duties and obligations
under Article X above. Landlord may require increases in coverage from Tenant
from time to time as required by any lender of Landlord.
(b) Property
Insurance.
Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain property insurance against
loss
or damage by fire and such other risks to the Building (including, but not
limited to, Tenant's inventory, equipment and/or trade fixtures), as are
included in so-called "all-risks extended coverage" endorsements, in an amount
equal to the full replacement cost thereof in a stipulated amount, with change
of condition, exclusive of the cost of foundations, excavations and footings,
with a replacement cost endorsement without any deduction being made for
depreciation. Said
policy shall contain coverage for loss of rents insurance which will cover
the
Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for a period of up to one (1) year.
14
(c) In
addition to the other insurance required under this Section 11.01, for so long
as Tenant shall serve liquor or other alcoholic beverages in or from the Leased
Premises, Tenant agrees to maintain minimum limits of coverage of at least
Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000) under an umbrella policy covering excess “liquor
law” liability (sometimes also known as “Dram Shop”
insurance) which shall insure Tenant and Landlord, and all of those claiming
by,
through or under Landlord, against any and all claims, demands or actions for
personal bodily injury to, or death of, one person or multiple persons in one
or
more accidents, and for damages to property, so that at all times Landlord
will
be fully protected against claims that may arise by reason of or in connection
with the sale, dispensing and consumption of liquor and alcoholic beverages
in,
on, at, from or about the Leased Premises.
Section
11.02
All
insurance provided for in this Article shall be effected under policies issued
by insurers with at least an A rating by A.M. Best's Insurance Guide. No
insurance policy may have a deductible amount exceeding $25,000.00 ($50,000.00
with respect to wind damage) per occurrence. Tenant shall provide to Landlord,
beginning on the Effective Date and continuing annually thereafter with
certificates (or other evidence reasonably requested by Landlord) from all
applicable insurance carriers evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied
by other evidence of such payment (e.g., receipts, canceled checks) reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord.
Section
11.03
The
policies of insurance required under this Article XI shall name Tenant as the
named insured and Landlord Parties
(as defined in Section 10.01 above) as
additional named insureds as their interests may appear, with primary coverage
in favor of all additional named insureds (and with provisions that any other
insurance carried by any additional insured or Landlord shall be
non-contributing and that naming Landlord and other
Landlord
Parties
as additional insureds shall not negate any right Landlord or other
Landlord
Parties
would have had as claimants under the policy if not so named). All insurance
policies required under this Article XI also shall provide that the beneficial
interest of Landlord in such policies shall be fully transferable. All policies
referred to in Section 11.01(b) above shall provide that the proceeds of all
such policies shall be made payable to the account of both Landlord and Tenant
to be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of, and for the purposes
set
forth in, Article XII hereof.
Section
11.04
Any
insurance provided for in this Article may be effected by a blanket policy
or
policies of insurance, or under so-called "all-risk" or "multi-peril" insurance
policies, provided that the amount of the total insurance available with respect
to the Demised Premises shall provide coverage and indemnity at least equivalent
to separate policies in the amounts herein required, and provided further that
in other respects, any such policy or policies shall comply with the provisions
of this Article. Any increased coverage provided by individual or blanket
policies shall be satisfactory, provided the aggregate liability limits covering
the Demised Premises under such policies shall otherwise comply with the
provisions of this Article.
Section
11.05
Every
insurance policy carried by either party with respect to the Demised Premises
shall (if it can be so written) include provisions waiving the insurer's
subrogation rights against the other party to the extent such rights can be
waived by the insured prior to the occurrence of damage or loss. Subject to
the
above, each party hereby waives any rights of recovery against the other party
for any direct damage or consequential loss covered by said policies against
which such party is protected by insurance whether or not such damage or loss
shall have been caused by any acts or omissions of the other party, but such
waiver shall operate only to the extent such waiving party is so protected
by
such insurance coverage.
15
Section
11.06
Each
insurance policy required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall include a
provision requiring the insurance carrier insuring such policy to provide
Landlord with not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any
threatened or actual lapse, cancellation, reduction, or other material change
in
such policy’s coverage or its terms. If any insurance policy required to be and
in fact carried by Tenant and covering the Demised Premises or any part thereof
is cancelled or is threatened by the insurer to be cancelled (other than in
the
case of the lapse of the policy at the end of its stated term), or if the
coverage thereunder is reduced in any way by the insurer for any reason, and
if
Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to cancellation, threatened
cancellation, or reduction of coverage within 48 hours after notice thereof
by
Landlord, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies available
to Landlord, enter the Demised Premises and remedy the condition giving rise
to
such cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction, and Tenant shall
forthwith pay the cost thereof to Landlord (which cost may be collected by
Landlord as Additional Rent) and Landlord shall not be liable for any damage
or
injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Demised
Premises as a result of any such entry. In the event Tenant fails to procure
or
maintain any policy of insurance required under Article XI, Landlord may, at
its
option, purchase such insurance and charge Tenant all costs and expenses
incurred in procuring and maintaining such insurance as Additional
Rent.
ARTICLE
XII
DAMAGE
OR DESTRUCTION
Section
12.01
Subject
to the provisions of Section 12.04 and Section 12.05 below, if at any time
during the Lease Term, the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged
or destroyed by fire or other casualty of any kind or nature, Tenant shall
proceed within ninety (90) days after the first date of such damage or
destruction with commercially reasonable due diligence to repair, replace or
rebuild the Demised Premises as nearly as possible to its condition and
character immediately prior to such damage with such variations and Alterations
requested by Tenant as may be permitted under (and subject to the provisions
of
)
Article
VI (the "Restoration Work").
Section
12.02
All
property and casualty insurance proceeds payable to Landlord or Tenant (except
(i) insurance proceeds payable to Tenant on account of Tenant's trade fixtures
or inventory and business interruption insurance carried by Tenant and (ii)
insurance proceeds payable from comprehensive general public liability, or
any
other liability insurance) at any time as a result of casualty to the Demised
Premises shall be paid jointly to Landlord and Tenant for purposes of payment
for the cost of the Restoration Work, except as may be otherwise expressly
set
forth herein, and advanced from time to time for such purposes as the work
progresses upon certified request of Tenant's architect. Landlord and Tenant
shall cooperate in order to obtain the largest possible insurance award lawfully
obtainable and shall execute any and all consents and other instruments and
take
all other actions necessary or desirable in order to effectuate same and to
cause such proceeds to be paid as hereinbefore provided. The proceeds of any
such insurance in the case of loss shall, to the extent necessary, be used
first
for the Restoration Work with the balance, if any, payable to Tenant. If
insurance proceeds as a result of a casualty to the Demised Premises are
insufficient to complete the Restoration Work necessary by reason of such
casualty, then Tenant shall supply promptly the balance of the amount necessary
to complete the Restoration Work. If Tenant so supplies such balance, then
the
funds so supplied by Tenant shall first be used in their entirety for the
Restoration Work, and only after all such funds have been fully expended shall
the insurance proceeds collected by reason of such casualty be used and
expended.
16
Section
12.03
Except
as provided for in Section 12.04, this Lease shall not be affected in any manner
by reason of the total or partial destruction to the Demised Premises or any
part thereof, or any reason whatsoever, and Tenant, notwithstanding any law
or
statute, present or future, waives all rights to quit or surrender any Demised
Premises or any part thereof. Fixed Rent and Additional Rent required to be
paid
by Tenant hereunder shall not xxxxx as a result of any casualty.
Section
12.04
(a) Notwithstanding
Section 12.01 above, if the Building is destroyed or damaged in excess of
Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the replacement cost thereof (the Demised Premises
at which the Building is located is hereafter referred to as the “Casualty
Property”), exclusive of foundation and footings, by fire or other insured
casualty at any time during the last two (2) years of the Lease Term, then
Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Lease by giving
Landlord written notice of termination within sixty (60) days after the date
on
which such damage or destruction occurs. Such termination shall be effective
on
the last day of the month following the month in which Tenant gives Landlord
notice of its election to so terminate. In such event, Landlord shall be
entitled to all insurance proceeds payable pursuant to the policy carried by
Tenant pursuant to Section 11.01(b) above, except amounts payable with respect
to Tenant's inventory, equipment and/or trade fixtures or moveable trade
fixtures.
(b) In
the
event of the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, prior
to
such termination date, an amount equal to the Fixed Rent and any then accrued
Additional Rent payable under this Lease to the date of such termination. With
respect to any amounts of Additional Rent which are payable by Tenant in the
event of such termination, but which are not then ascertainable, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord an amount equal to such Additional Rent as and when the same
is
determined. This Section 12.04 shall survive expiration or termination of the
Lease.
ARTICLE
XIII
EMINENT
DOMAIN
Section
13.01
If more
than fifty percent (50%) of the Demised Premises, fifty percent (50%) of the
existing access to or from the Demised Premises, or fifty percent (50%) of
the
parking available at the Demised Premises shall be taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by purchase
in lieu thereof and such taking makes the Demised Premises unusable for the
purposes set forth in Article IV, then this Lease shall terminate as of the
date
that possession has been so taken (the "Vesting Date").
17
Section
13.02
(a) In
the
event of a taking of less than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Demised
Premises, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease and not restore such Demised
Premises if, by reason of the taking, the taking shall result in a diminution
in
value of more than 20% of the Demised Premises and as a result of such taking
Tenant’s business at the Demised Premises has been materially and adversely
affected. Tenant’s business at the Demised Premises will be deemed materially
adversely affected only if there
is
(i)
a
taking of a portion of the Building located at the Premises making
reconfiguration uneconomical, (ii) a taking of access to the Demised Premises
in
which an alternative access provides significantly reduced traffic counts (iii)
a taking of a significant number of parking spaces where alternative parking
spaces are not available, or (iv) a
taking
that
would
preclude use of the Property for its current use under applicable zoning or
other use regulations.
(b) In
the
event Tenant elects by reason of any of the foregoing events described in this
Article XIII to terminate the Lease as to a Demised Premises (“Condemned
Property”), Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of its intention to so
terminate within ninety (90) days after formal notice of the proposed taking
is
given to Tenant, and this Lease shall terminate as of the last day of the
calendar month following the month in which such notice is given. In the event
the condemning authority revokes or terminates its condemnation proceeding,
Landlord, prior to the date set for termination of this Lease, may, by notice
to
Tenant, elect to rescind such termination. In the event of such termination,
however, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, prior to such termination date, an amount
equal to the Fixed Rent and any then accrued Additional Rent payable under
this
Lease to the date of such termination, and neither party shall have any further
rights or liabilities under this Lease (except
for rights and liabilities that explicitly survive termination or expiration
of
the Lease as set forth herein).
With
respect to any items of Additional Rent which are payable by Tenant in the
event
of such termination, but which are not then ascertainable, Tenant shall pay
to
Landlord an amount equal to such Additional Rent as and when the same is
determined. The covenants and agreements with respect to the adjustment and
payment of items of Additional Rent shall survive the termination of this
Lease.
Section
13.03
In the
event of a taking resulting in the termination of this Lease with respect to
a
Condemned Property pursuant to the provisions of Sections 13.01 or 13.02, the
parties hereto agree to cooperate in applying for and in prosecuting any claim
for such taking and further agree that the aggregate net award shall be
distributed as follows:
(a) Landlord
shall be entitled to the entire award for the Condemned Property.
(b) Tenant
shall be entitled to any award that may be made for the taking of, or injury
to
or on account of, any cost or loss Tenant may sustain in the removal of its
merchandise, fixtures, moveable trade fixtures and equipment and furnishings,
and so long as it does not diminish the amount of the award otherwise available
to Landlord for the Condemned Property, the award for loss of business and
goodwill.

Section
13.04
(a) In
case
of a taking of less than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Demised
Premises, and if this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 13.02
above, Tenant shall proceed with diligence (subject to reasonable time periods
for purposes of adjustment of any award and unavoidable delays) to repair or
reconstruct the affected Building to a complete architectural unit (all such
repair, reconstruction and work being referred to in this Article as
"Reconstruction Work"). Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of the
Reconstruction Work up to and not exceeding the net compensation amount realized
by Landlord as a result of such taking (i.e., the gross amount of the
compensation received by Landlord from the taking authority less all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing, prosecuting, and/or
recovering its claim to such award).
All
Reconstruction Work shall be performed pursuant to (and subject to) the
requirements for Alterations set forth in Article VI.
(b) In
case
of a taking of less than substantially all of the Demised Premises, and if
this
Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 13.02 above, the monthly Fixed
Rent payable hereunder shall, from and after the date of such taking, be reduced
by an amount equal to the product of (i) 1/12 multiplied by (ii) 7% multiplied
by (iii) the net condemnation proceeds retained by Landlord after the
application of any such proceeds to the repair, restoration or replacement
necessitated by the condemnation taking.
(c) Tenant
shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive in any condemnation proceeding
such awards as may be allowed for loss of business and goodwill, provided such
award shall not diminish the amount of the award otherwise available to Landlord
for the Demised Premises hereunder.
(d) Any
compensation for a temporary taking shall be payable to Tenant without
participation by Landlord, except to the proportionate extent such temporary
taking extends beyond the end of the Lease Term, and there shall be no abatement

Tenant seeking
any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, then an Event of

may, at its option in any of such events, on thirty (30) days notice to Tenant,
if such action is not vacated or withdrawn, immediately recapture and take

Of Rent.
Failure
to pay any installment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent due and payable
hereunder within
five (5) business days after written notice to Tenant.
(b) Insolvency.

such thirty (30) day period and continuously and diligently pursues such remedy
at all times until complete.

notice of such failure is delivered to Tenant (or such longer period, up to
but
not exceeding an additional ninety (90) days, as is reasonably necessary to
remedy such default, provided that Tenant commences the remedy within such
thirty (30) day period and continuously and diligently pursues such remedy
at
all times during the additional ninety (90) day period.)
21
Section
16.02 Remedies
Upon Default.
If an
Event of Default by Tenant occurs, then, in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity or elsewhere hereunder, Landlord
shall
have the following remedies:
(a) Termination.
Landlord shall have the right, with or without notice or demand, immediately
upon expiration of any applicable grace period specified herein, to terminate
this Lease, and at any time thereafter recover possession of all or any portion
of the Demised Premises or any part thereof and expel and remove therefrom
Tenant and any other person occupying the same by any lawful means, and
repossess and enjoy all or any portion of the Demised Premises without prejudice
to any of the remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease. If Landlord
elects to terminate the Lease, Landlord shall also have the right to reenter
the
Demised Premises and take possession of and remove all equipment and fixtures
of
Tenant, if any, in such Demised Premises, and to operate the restaurant at
the
Demised Premises. In connection with any such repossession, Tenant (and any
affiliate of Tenant holding a liquor license with respect to the Demised
Premises) shall provide reasonable cooperation in transferring its
liquor license to Landlord, or in assisting Landlord in obtaining a liquor
license. Tenant (and Tenant’s affiliate) agree upon Landlord’s written request,
to grant a security interest to Landlord in the liquor license at the Demised
Premises to secure Tenant’s obligations hereunder, provided that the grant of
such security interest does not violate any state or local law or ordinance.
Upon any assignment or foreclosure of Tenant’s liquor license, Tenant’s
liability to Landlord on account of any default under this Lease shall be
reduced by the fair market value of the liquor license so transferred to
Landlord. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to
possession, or if Tenant's right to possession is otherwise terminated by
operation of law, Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the following:
(i)
all Rent then due under the Lease; (ii) the Rent due for the remainder of the
Lease Term (discounted by the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San
Francisco plus one percent (1%)),
not to exceed, in any event 6%;
(iii)
the cost of reletting the Demised Premises; and (iv) any other costs and
expenses that Landlord may reasonably incur in connection with the Event of
Default. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate Tenant’s damages for any such default; provided,
however, that Landlord’s efforts to mitigate shall not waive Landlord's right to
recover damages which are calculated consistent with Landlord’s duty to
mitigate.
(b) Continuation
After Default.
If
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall continue
in effect, and Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this
Lease, including, without limitation, the right to recover Rent as it becomes
due, and Landlord, without terminating this Lease, may exercise all of the
rights and remedies of a landlord under New York law. Landlord shall not be
deemed to have terminated this Lease except by an express statement in writing.
Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Demised Premises,
or
the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord's
interest under this Lease shall not constitute an election to terminate Tenant's
right to possession unless such election is expressly stated in writing by
Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without such termination, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate Tenant's right to possession
and
this Lease. If Landlord elects to relet the Demised Premises for the account
of
Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied
as
follows: first, to the payment of any and all costs of such reletting
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees,
brokers' fees, alterations and repairs to any of the Demised Premises, and
tenant improvement costs); second, to the payment of any and all indebtedness
other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; third, to the payment
of
any and all Rent
due
and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and
applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If the rent received from
the reletting is less than the sum of the costs of reletting, other indebtedness
due by Tenant, and the Rent due by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the deficiency
to Landlord promptly upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly.

Section
16.03 Indemnification.
Nothing
in this Section shall be deemed to affect Tenant's obligation to
indemnify,
defend,
protect and hold harmless
Landlord
and the
other Landlord Parties
under
Article
X
of this Lease, and such obligation shall survive the termination or expiration
of this Lease.
Section
16.04 Waiver
of Notice/ Performance by Landlord.
Notwithstanding any provision herein, (a) if Tenant is required to comply with
any governmental requirement, Tenant shall not be entitled to notice of default
from Landlord and right to cure beyond the period within which such compliance
may be required by applicable law or government agency; or (b) if in Landlord's
reasonable determination the continuance of any default by Tenant for the full
period of notice provided for herein will constitute a threat of injury or
harm
to persons or property, Landlord may, with or without notice, elect to perform
those acts with respect to which Tenant is in default for the account and at
the
expense of Tenant. If by reason of such governmental requirement or default
by
Tenant, Landlord is compelled or elects to pay any sum of money, (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, consultant fees, testing and
investigation fees, expert fees and court costs), such sums so paid by Landlord,
plus an administrative charge of ten percent (10%) of such sums, shall be due
as
Additional Rent from Tenant within ten (10) days of written demand therefor
from
Landlord.
Section
16.05 Interest.
Tenant
hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Fixed Rent and
any Additional Rent 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
or
trust deed covering the Demised Premises. Accordingly, any sum due by Tenant
to
Landlord under this Lease which is not paid when due shall bear interest at
the
lesser of the prime rate announced from time to time by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.,
plus five percent (5%) per annum or the maximum rate allowed under New York
law,
not to exceed, in any event 15%, from the date such sum becomes due and payable
by Tenant hereunder until paid, unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease.
The
foregoing shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights,
remedies and charges as a result of any such late payment by Tenant set forth
in
this Lease, including without limitation any late charge imposed on any such
amount as set forth in Section 3.08.
Section
16.06 Tenant’s
Subleases.
If
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of
Default,
then
Landlord may: (i) terminate any sublease by a subtenant and any license,
concession, or other consensual arrangement for possession entered into by
Tenant and affecting any of the Demised Premises which are not the subject
of a
nondisturbance agreement executed by Landlord; or (ii) choose to succeed to
Tenant’s interest in such arrangement. No payment by a subtenant with respect to
a sublease shall entitle such subtenant to possession of any Property after
termination of this Lease and Landlord’s election to terminate the sublease by
the subtenant. If Landlord elects to succeed to Tenant’s interest in such
arrangement, then Tenant shall, as of the Effective Date of notice given by
Landlord to Tenant of such election, have no further right to, or interest
in,
any rent or other consideration receivable under that arrangement.
23
Section
16.07 Form
of Payment After Default.
If
Tenant fails to pay any amount due to Landlord under this Lease within five
(5)
business days after written notice of such failure is given to Tenant by
Landlord, or if Tenant attempts to pay any such amount by drawing a check on
an
account with insufficient funds, then Landlord shall have the right to require
that any and all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease
(to cure a default or otherwise) be paid in the form of cash, money order,
cashier’s or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or
any other form approved by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion,
notwithstanding that Landlord may have previously accepted payments from Tenant
in a different form.
Section
16.08 Acceptance
of Rent Without Waiving Rights.
No
payment by Tenant shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
sum due from Tenant hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement by Tenant
on any check or any letter accompanying such payment be deemed an accord and
satisfaction of any amount in dispute between Tenant and Landlord or otherwise.
Landlord may accept any and all of Tenant’s payments without waiving any right
or remedy under this Lease, including but not limited to the right to commence
and pursue an action to enforce rights and remedies under a previously served
notice of default, without giving Tenant any further notice or
demand.
Section
16.09 Waiver
by Tenant.
Tenant
hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord's lawful
reentering and taking possession of the Demised Premises in accordance with
the
provisions of this Lease or removing and storing the property of Tenant as
herein provided.
Section
16.10 Remedies
Cumulative.
All
rights, privileges, elections, and remedies of Landlord are cumulative and
not
alternative with all other rights and remedies hereunder, at law or in equity
to
the fullest extent permitted by law. The exercise of one or more rights or
remedies by Landlord shall not impair Landlord's rights to exercise any other
right or remedy to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section
16.11 Default
by Landlord.
Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations
required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than ten
(10) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any
first mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or security deed granted
by
Landlord against any portion of the Demised Property whose name and address
shall have been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying Landlord’s failure to
perform such obligation; provided, however, that, if the nature of Landlord’s
obligation is such that more than ten (10) days are required for performance,
then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within
such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to
completion. Tenant agrees that the mortgagee, beneficiary or trustee under
any
such first mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or security deed shall
have the right to cure such default on behalf of Landlord within ten (10)
calendar days after receipt of such notice, and Tenant further agrees not to
invoke any of its remedies under this Lease until such ten (10) calendar day
period has elapsed.

UNAVOIDABLE
DELAYS, FORCE MAJEURE
If
either
party shall be prevented or delayed from punctually performing any obligation
or
satisfying any condition under this Lease by any strike, lockout, labor dispute,
inability to obtain labor, materials or reasonable substitutes thereof, Acts
of
God, present or future governmental restrictions, regulations or control,
insurrection, sabotage, fire or other casualty, final determination of insurance
and condemnation claims, or any other condition beyond the control of the party,
exclusive of financial inability of a party, then the time to perform such
obligation or satisfy such condition shall be extended by the delay caused
by
such event, but only for a reasonable period of time not to exceed, in any
event, 180 days. The provisions of this Article shall in no event, however,
operate to delay the Commencement Date or to excuse Tenant from the prompt
payment of Fixed Rent
or
Additional Rent.

Landlord's right to enter and inspect the Demised Premises shall include the

AND FIXTURES
Section
22.01
Any and
all portions of the Building, all other improvements on the Real Property at
the
Commencement Date and all fixtures on the Demised Premises at the Commencement
Date shall be the property of Landlord. In the event that Tenant installs or

Date, such fixtures or improvements (except those referenced in Section 22.02
which can be removed without damage to the Demised Premises) shall at the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, become the property of Landlord
and remain upon and be surrendered with the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding

Section

furnished or installed by Tenant on the Demised Premises, shall be and remain
the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant or others entitled to remove
same at any time during the Lease Term provided that Tenant is not in
default
of this Lease, provided that such removal shall in no way affect Tenant’s
covenants with respect to the operation of the Demised Premises pursuant to
Section 3.09. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Demised Premises caused
by
removal of any such trade fixtures by Tenant or its subtenants, licensees or
mortgagees. Upon default

all
of such trade fixtures, and equipment for $1.00, which option is assignable

ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLETTING
Section
25.01
This
Lease shall be fully assignable by the Landlord or its assigns, subject to
the
terms of Article XXXIV.
Section
25.02
(a)
Neither Tenant, nor Tenant's successors or assigns, shall assign in whole or
in
part, by operation of law or otherwise, or sublet the Demised Premises, in
whole
or in part, or permit the Demised Premises or any portion of it to be used
or
occupied by others, or enter into a management contract or other arrangement
whereby the Demised Premises shall be managed or operated by anyone other than
the owner of the Tenant's leasehold estate, without the prior written consent
of
Landlord in each instance. Provided Tenant remains liable for all its
obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold consent
to an assignment of this Lease to an individual, partnership or corporation
if
such individual, partnership or corporation has,
in the
opinion of Landlord, a
record
of timely payment of obligations and compliance with applicable laws and is
a
commercially and financially sound individual, partnership, or corporation.
Tenant may assign or sublease the Demised Premises without the consent of
Landlord if such assignment or sublease is to a partnership of which Tenant
is a
general partner or a corporation of which Tenant is the majority shareholder
or
to the parent
corporation of Tenant or
an
affiliate under common control of the parent corporation of Tenant or in the
event of Tenants’ merger or consolidation with another entity; provided further
that no such assignment or sublease shall relieve Tenant of any liability
hereunder, and Tenant shall not transfer its interest as a general partner
(or
as a majority shareholder as the case may be) without the prior written consent
of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(b)
Tenant shall submit current financial statements of any proposed assignee or
sublessee together with Tenant's request for Landlord's approval of any proposed
assignment or sublease, except if (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee is
a
partnership of which Tenant is a general partner, or is a corporation or limited
liability company of which Tenant is a major shareholder, parent company or
an
affiliate under common control, and (ii) the financial statements of such
proposed assignee or sublessee are consolidated with Tenant. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses actually paid by Landlord in
connection with any requested assignment or sublease in an amount not to exceed
Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). Such amount shall increase by
three percent (3%) on each anniversary of the Effective Date of this
Lease.
(c)
If
this Lease is assigned or transferred, or if all or any part of the Demised
Premises is sublet or occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may
collect rent from the assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant, and apply
the
net amount collected to the Rent reserved in this Lease, but no such assignment,
subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any covenant
or
condition of this Lease, or the acceptance of the assignee, transferee,
subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance
or
further performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. Without
limiting the generality of the forgoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and
agrees that in the event of an assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall remain
joint and severally liable with the assignee for all of the obligations under
this Lease, and in all other cases of any transfer of Tenant's interest under
this Lease, Tenant shall remain primarily liable for such obligations, unless
released by
Landlord in writing pursuant to Section 25.03. Subject to the foregoing, the
consent by Landlord to an assignment, transfer, management contract or
subletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining
the express written consent of Landlord in each instance to any subsequent
similar action that Tenant may intend to take.
29
Section
25.03
Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 25.02 to the contrary, Tenant
shall have the right to sublease the Demised Premises in the ordinary course
of
Tenant’s business with Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and provided that Tenant delivers to Landlord copies of such sublease
agreements contemporaneous with their effectiveness, and Tenant remains
primarily liable for all obligations under this Lease.
Section
25.04
An
assignment made with Landlord's consent or as otherwise permitted hereunder
shall not be effective until Tenant delivers to Landlord an executed counterpart
of such assignment containing an agreement, in recordable form, executed by
the
assignor and the proposed assignee, in which the assignee assumes the
performance of the obligations of the assignor under this Lease throughout
the
Lease Term.
Section
25.05
This
Lease shall be binding upon, enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, representatives and
assigns.

LANDLORD'S
LOAN; TENANT’S LOAN
Section
26.01
This
Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases and the lien of
all
mortgages and deeds of trust which now or hereafter affect Landlord’s interest
in the Demised Premises, and all amendments thereto, all without the necessity
of Tenant's executing further instruments to effect subordination. The interest
in the Demised Premises of any such future ground lessee or lienholder shall
have priority over the interest of Tenant in this Lease and in the Demised
Premises provided that such ground lessee or lienholder executes a
non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form of the Subordination,
Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement attached as Exhibit F hereto. Tenant
shall execute and deliver to Landlord on the Commencement Date a Subordination,
Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form of Exhibit

shall upon ten (10) days’ written notice from Landlord, execute additional
subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements and obtain from any
subtenant at the Demised Premises, subordination, nondisturbance and attornment
agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit
F.
Section
26.02
In the
event of a foreclosure proceeding, the exercise of the power of sale under
any
mortgage or deed of trust or the termination of a ground lease, Tenant shall,
if
requested, attorn to the purchaser thereupon and recognize such purchaser as
Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, Tenant's obligation to attorn
to
such purchaser shall be conditioned upon such purchaser’s written agreement not
to disturb Tenant's interest in this Lease, except that such purchaser shall
be
entitled to enforce all rights
and
remedies
of
Landlord hereunder.

Section
26.03
Books
and Records. Tenant shall keep accurate books and records of account sufficient
sufficient
to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States of America
from
time to time (“GAAP”). Landlord and its duly authorized representatives shall
have the right to examine, copy and audit Tenant’s records and books of account
at all reasonable times during regular business hours. Tenant shall provide,
or
cause to be provided, to Landlord, in addition to any other financial statements
required under this Lease, the following financial statements and information,
all of which must be prepared in a form acceptable to Landlord:
(i) promptly
and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first
three (3) calendar quarters, and ninety (90) days after year-end, statements
of
financial position of Tenant as of the end of each such quarter or year-end,
as
applicable, including a balance sheet and statement of profits and losses,
expenses and retained earnings, changes in financial position and cash flows,
which statements shall be duly certified by an officer of Tenant to fairly
represent the financial condition of Tenant, as of the date thereof, prepared
by
Tenant in accordance with GAAP, and, with respect to the year-end statement
only, accompanied by a statement of a nationally recognized accounting firm
acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion that such financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of Tenant
as
of the end of the calendar year being reported on and that the results of the
operations and cash flows for such year were prepared, and are being reported
on, in conformity with GAAP;
and
(ii) Property
level profit and loss statements on a monthly basis, delivered to Landlord
on or
before the twentieth (20th)
day of
the end of the following month, and containing year-to-date information; and
(iii) such
other information with respect to the Demised Property or Tenant that may be
reasonably requested from time to time by Landlord, within a reasonable time
after the applicable request, provided that such information is collected by
Tenant in the ordinary course of its business and that Tenant shall not incur
additional costs in delivering same to Landlord.
If
Tenant is publically traded on a national securities exchange, financial
information reported by Tenant to the Securities and Exchange Commission will
satisfy the requirements of Section 26.03(i) hereof.
Section
26.04
Provided
that Tenant and Landlord
shall
secure any required consent from Landlord’s Lender, Tenant shall have the right
to encumber or hypothecate Tenant's interest in the leasehold estate created
by
this Lease but only with a leasehold deed of trust,
mortgage,
assignment
of leases,
assignment, security agreement
and/or
other
security document

Tenant.

Landlord
shall not be obligated to subordinate any or all of Landlord's right, title
or
interest in and to the Demised Premises and this Lease to the lien of any
Leasehold Mortgage.
Section
26.06
A
Leasehold Mortgage shall encumber only Tenant's leasehold interest in the
Demised Premises, and shall not encumber Landlord's right title or interest
in
the Demised Premises. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for the
payment of the note or any obligation secured by any Leasehold Mortgage or
any
other provisions of such note or the Leasehold Mortgage or related obligations.
Should there be any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and of any
Leasehold Mortgage, the provisions of this Lease shall control. No Leasehold
Mortgage will be for a term longer than the Term of this Lease, as and if
extended as provided herein. Either prior to or concurrently with the
recordation of the Leasehold Mortgage, Tenant shall cause a fully conformed
copy
thereof and of the note secured thereby to be delivered to Landlord, together
with a written notice containing the name and post office address of the Lender
(as defined herein).
Section
26.07
If
Landlord declares a default under this Lease, Landlord shall notify any Lender
who has given Landlord a prior written request for such notice of such default
by sending a copy of the default notice required under this Lease to the
Lender.
Section
26.08
Immediately upon the recording of the Leasehold Mortgage, Tenant, at Tenant's
expense, shall cause to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder of
each
county in which the Demised Premises is located, a written request duly executed
and acknowledged by Landlord for a copy of any notice of default and of any
notice of sale under the Leasehold Mortgage, as provided by the law in which
the
Demised Premises are located.
Section
26.9
If title
to Landlord's estate and to Tenant's estate are acquired by the same person
or
entity, other than as a result of termination of this Lease, no merger shall
occur if the effect of such merger would impair the lien of any Leasehold
Mortgage.

Whether
or not there are then existing, to the knowledge of the executing
officer,
any defenses against the enforcement of any of the agreements, terms,

Landlord.
|
(b) Tenant's
failure to so deliver said certificate shall
constitute an Event of Default at

request. Delivery of a completed Estoppel Certificate in substantially the

terminate the license granted to Lessor to collect rents, as provided in the

Offset.
Lender
shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Lessee
may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor under the Lease with respect

nor for the return of any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor under the
Lease (a) as and for security deposits, rentals paid more than one (1) month

to
the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to Lender and applied
to amounts due in respect of the Loan (or held by Lender as collateral
therefor); and, for purposes of determining the rentals due under the Lease,
any
amount paid in respect of rentals paid more than one (1) month before the time

therefor) shall be treated as if they had not been paid; or (b) any payment
made
by Lessee to Lessor in consideration of any modification, termination or
cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without Lender's prior written
consent.
53
5.4 Subsequent
Transfer.
If
Lender, by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, should become
obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor thereunder, then, upon any further
transfer of Lessor's interest by Lender, all of such obligations shall terminate
as to Lender.
6. NON-DISTURBANCE.
IN
THE
EVENT OF A FORECLOSURE UNDER THE DEED OF TRUST, SO LONG AS THERE SHALL THEN
