In consideration of the rents and provisions herein stipulated to be paid and performed, Landlord and Tenant, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

- The Leased Premises are demised and let subject to (i) the Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, including any existing violation of any thereof, and (iii) the condition of the Leased Premises as of the commencement of the Term; without representation or warranty by Landlord; it being understood and agreed, however, that the recital of the Permitted Encumbrances herein shall not be construed as a revival of any thereof which for any reason may have expired.
- LANDLORD HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY INSPECTION OF ANY OF THE LEASED PREMISES, AND LANDLORD LEASES AND WILL LEASE AND TENANT TAKES AND WILL TAKE THE LEASED PREMISES "AS IS", AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD (WHETHER ACTING AS LANDLORD HEREUNDER OR IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY) HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT MAKE, NOR SHALL LANDLORD BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE LEASED PREMISES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE OR PURPOSE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, AS TO LANDLORD'S TITLE THERETO, OR AS TO VALUE, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, LOCATION, USE, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, DURABILITY OR OPERATION, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL RISKS INCIDENT THERETO ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. Tenant acknowledges that the Leased Premises are of its selection and to its specifications, and that the Leased Premises have been inspected by Tenant and are satisfactory to it. In the event of any defect or deficiency in any of the Leased Premises of any nature, whether patent or latent, Landlord shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto or for any incidental or consequential damages (including strict liability in tort). The provisions of this Paragraph 3 (b) have been negotiated, and the foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any warranties by Landlord, express or implied, with respect to any of the Leased Premises, arising pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise.
- Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has examined the title to the Leased Premises prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found such title to be satisfactory for the purposes contemplated by this Lease.
- Landlord hereby assigns, without recourse or warranty whatsoever, to Tenant, all Guaranties. Such assignment shall remain in effect until the termination of this Lease. Landlord shall also retain the right to enforce any Guaranties assigned in the name of Tenant upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Landlord hereby agrees to execute and deliver at Tenant's expense such further documents, including powers of attorney, as Tenant may reasonably request in order that Tenant may have the full benefit of the assignment effected or intended to be effected by this Paragraph 3 (d). Upon the termination of this Lease, the Guaranties shall automatically revert to Landlord. The foregoing provision of reversion shall be self-operative and no further instrument of reassignment shall be required. In confirmation of such reassignment, Tenant shall execute and deliver promptly any certificate or other instrument which Landlord may request. Any monies collected by Tenant under any of the Guaranties after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default shall be held in trust by Tenant and promptly paid over to Landlord.
- Landlord agrees to enter into, at Tenant's expense, such Easements as reasonably requested by Tenant, subject to Lender's and Landlord's approval of the form thereof, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such Easement shall result in any diminution in the value or utility of the Leased Premises for use as a storage warehouse and distribution center and, further provided, that no such Easement shall render the use of the Leased Premises dependent upon any other property or condition, each of which Tenant shall certify to Landlord and Lender in writing delivered with Tenant's request with respect to such Easement. Tenant's request shall also include Tenant's written undertaking acknowledging that Tenant shall remain liable hereunder as principal and not merely as a surety or guarantor notwithstanding the establishment of any Easement. Except as expressly permitted by this Lease, Landlord shall not enter into any Easements, REA's, restrictive covenants or other matters affecting title to the Leased Premises, without the prior consent of Tenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
- Tenant agrees that Tenant is obligated to and shall perform all obligations of the owner of the Leased Premises under and pay all expenses which the owner of the Leased Premises may be required to pay in accordance with any REA, and that Tenant shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of the REA during the term of this Lease. Tenant further covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Lender against any claim, loss or damage suffered by Landlord or Lender by reason of Tenant's failure to perform any obligations or pay any expenses as required under any REA or comply with the terms and conditions of any REA as hereinabove provided during the term of this Lease.
- Use of Leased Premises; Quiet Enjoyment.
- Tenant may use the Leased Premises as a storage, warehouse or distribution center or for any other lawful purpose so long as such other lawful purpose would not (i) have a material adverse effect on the value of the Leased Premises, (ii) materially increase (when compared to use as a storage, warehouse or distribution center) the likelihood that Tenant, Landlord or Lender would incur liability under any provisions of any Environmental Laws, or (iii) result in or give rise to any material environmental deterioration or degradation of the Leased Premises. In no event shall the Leased Premises be used for any purpose which shall violate any of the provisions of any Permitted Encumbrance or any covenants, restrictions or agreements hereafter created by or consented to by Tenant applicable to the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees that with respect to the Permitted Encumbrances and any covenants, restrictions or agreements hereafter created by or consented to by Tenant, Tenant shall observe, perform and comply with and carry out the provisions thereof required therein to be observed and performed by Landlord.
- Subject to Tenant's rights under Paragraph 18 hereof, Tenant shall not permit any unlawful occupation, business or trade to be conducted on the Leased Premises or any use to be made thereof contrary to applicable Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements. Subject to Tenant's rights under Paragraph 18, Tenant shall not use, occupy or permit any of the Leased Premises to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be done in or on any of the Leased Premises, in a manner which would (i) make void or voidable any insurance which Tenant is required hereunder to maintain then in force with respect to any of the Leased Premises, (ii) affect the ability of Tenant to obtain any insurance which Tenant is required to furnish hereunder, or (iii) cause any injury or damage to any of the Improvements unless pursuant to Alterations permitted under Paragraph 12 hereof.
- Subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, so long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Landlord covenants to do no act to disturb the peaceful and quiet occupation and enjoyment of the Leased Premises by Tenant.
- Tenant covenants and agrees to remain in actual physical possession of the Leased Premises and to continuously operate its business in the Leased Premises; provided, however, from and after the commencement of the sixty-first (61st) calendar month following the first Basic Rent Payment Date, Tenant may, at its option (without any obligation to do so), cease to operate its business in the Leased Premises on either a (i) permanent basis or (ii) temporary basis.
- Term
- Subject to the provisions hereof, Tenant shall have and hold the Leased Premises for an initial term commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date.
- Provided (i) this Lease shall not have been terminated pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 13 (b) or 19, and (ii) an Event of Default has not occurred and remains uncured, in each case on the applicable date of its Renewal Option Notice and on the Expiration Date (or the expiration date of the then expiring Renewal Term, as applicable), Tenant shall have five (5) consecutive options to extend the term of this Lease for a Renewal Term, commencing upon the day after the Expiration Date (or the expiration date of the then expiring Renewal Term, as applicable). If Tenant elects to exercise any one or more of said renewal options, it shall do so by giving a Renewal Option Notice to Landlord at any time during the Term (or the then Renewal Term, as applicable) but, in any event, on or before that date which is eighteen (18) months prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term for which such election is exercised. Tenant shall forever waive its right to exercise a renewal option if it shall, for any reason whatsoever, fail to give such Renewal Option Notice to Landlord within the time and in the manner provided for the giving of such notice, whether such failure is inadvertent or intentional, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE as to the exercise of such renewal option and the giving of such notice. If Tenant shall elect to exercise any such renewal option, the term of this Lease shall be automatically extended for five (5) years without the execution of an extension or renewal lease. Any Renewal Term shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, and all such provisions shall continue in full force and effect, except that the Basic Rent for each Renewal Term shall be at the Basic Rent set forth for such renewal terms on Exhibit B attached hereto. Within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming that such option has been effectively exercised, confirming the extended expiration date of this Lease and confirming the Basic Rent for the Renewal Term.
- With respect to the third, fourth and fifth renewal terms, Landlord shall designate an independent MAI appraiser to determine the fair market rental value within twenty (20) days after Tenant's notice of its exercise of the applicable renewal option. Within ten (10) days after selection of Landlord's appraiser, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the determination made by Landlord's appraiser with respect to the fair market rental value. Tenant shall then have ten (10) days to dispute such determination and to select its own independent MAI appraiser. In the event that Tenant fails to select its appraiser within such ten (10) day period, the determination of Landlord's appraiser shall constitute such fair market rental value. Within ten (10) days after selection of Tenant's appraiser, the two appraisers shall meet and attempt to agree as to the fair market rental value for the Leased Premises for the Renewal Term in question. In the event that such appraisers are unable to agree as to such annual fair market rental value then: (i) if the difference between the two determinations is less than five percent (5%) of the lower determination, then the average of the two determinations shall be deemed to constitute such annual fair market rental value; or (ii) if the difference between the two determinations is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the lower determination, then the two appraisers shall jointly select a third independent MAI appraiser, which appraiser shall select which of the determinations of the first two appraisers shall constitute such annual fair market rental value. Such third appraiser shall not have the right to vary or modify the determinations of the appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant. Any appraiser selected pursuant to this clause (c) must have at least ten (10) years experience in appraising commercial real estate in the area in which the Leased Premises is located. The appraisers shall not have the right to amend, modify or vary any of the terms of this Lease and the determination of the appraisers in accordance with this clause (c) shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph and Paragraph 12 hereof, the fair market rental value for the Leased Premises for the Renewal Term in question shall exclude the portion of fair market rental value attributable to any Alterations for which all costs and expenses were paid for by the Tenant.
- Rent.
- Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or to Lender, if directed by Landlord), as minimum annual rent for the Leased Premises during the Term, the Basic Rent in arrears, on the Basic Rent Payment Dates, and shall pay the same by wire transfer in immediately available federal funds, by 9:30 a.m., New York time on the date due, to such account in such bank as Landlord (or Lender, if Landlord directs Tenant to pay Basic Rent directly to Lender) shall designate, from time to time. Basic Rent for the period from and including the Commencement Date through and including June 30, 2003 shall be paid on June 30, 2003 in the amount set forth for such period on Exhibit B-1 attached hereto.
- Tenant shall pay and discharge before the imposition of any fine, lien, interest or penalty that may be added thereto for late payment thereof, as Additional Rent, all other amounts and obligations which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay or discharge pursuant to this Lease, together with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added by the party to whom such payment is due for nonpayment or late payment thereof. In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay or discharge any of the foregoing, Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided herein, by law or otherwise, in the event of nonpayment of Basic Rent. All payments of Additional Rent that are payable to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant by wire transfer in immediately available federal funds to such account in such bank as Landlord (or Lender, if so directed by Landlord) shall designate, from time to time.
- If any installment of Basic Rent is not paid when the same is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Lender, as the case may be, on demand, as Additional Rent, a Late Charge.
- Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease is a true lease and does not represent a financing arrangement. Each party shall reflect the transactions represented by this Lease in all applicable books, records and reports (including, without limitation, income tax filings) in a manner consistent with "true lease" treatment rather than "financing" treatment.
- Net Lease; Non-Terminability.
- This is a net lease and Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, without notice, demand, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution, deduction, reduction or defense.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and that Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events (or, in lieu thereof , Tenant shall pay amounts equal thereto), and that the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue unaffected, unless this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease.
- Tenant agrees that it shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its provisions and that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, it shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding (i) the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding affecting Landlord, (ii) the exercise of any remedy, including foreclosure, under the Mortgage, or (iii) any action with respect to this Lease (including the disaffirmance hereof) which may be taken by Landlord under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Landlord or by any court under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

If Tenant is not permitted by Applicable Laws to file any such Filing, Tenant will promptly notify Landlord of such requirement in writing and prepare and deliver to Landlord a proposed form of such Filing and such information as is within Tenant's reasonable control or access with respect to such Filing within a reasonable time, and in all events at least twenty (20) days, prior to the time such Filing is required to be filed. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless, on an After Tax Basis, from and against any liabilities, including, but not limited to penalties, additions to tax, fines and interest, arising out of any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such Filing, if such insufficiency or inaccuracy is attributable to Tenant.

Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant, or to anyone holding any of the Leased Premises through or under Tenant, and that no mechanic's or other liens for any such labor, services or materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Landlord in and to any of the Leased Premises.
- Each of Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a written Memorandum of this Lease to be recorded in the appropriate land records of the jurisdiction in which the Leased Premises is located, in order to give public notice and protect the validity of this Lease. In the event of any discrepancy between the provisions of said recorded Memorandum of this Lease and the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail.
- Nothing in this Lease and no action or inaction by Landlord shall be deemed or construed to mean that Landlord has granted to Tenant any right, power or permission to do any act or to make any agreement which may create, give rise to, or be the foundation for, any right, title, interest or lien in or upon the estate of Landlord in any of the Leased Premises.
- Indemnification.
- Tenant agrees to assume liability for, and to indemnify, protect, defend, save and keep harmless each Indemnitee, on an After-Tax Basis, from and against any and all Claims that may be suffered, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee (including any Claims resulting from any Indemnitee's negligence), arising out of (i) the initial acquisition of the Leased Premises by Landlord, ownership of the Leased Premises by Landlord, leasing by Landlord of the Leased Premises to Tenant, subleasing of the Leased Premises by Tenant, assignment by Tenant of its interest in this Lease, or sale of the Leased Premises by Landlord to Tenant, transfer of title to Tenant's interest in this Lease, renewal of this Lease, or operation, possession, use, non-use, maintenance, modification, alteration, construction, reconstruction, restoration, or replacement of the Leased Premises (or any portion thereof), or from the granting by Landlord at Tenant's request of easements, licenses or any rights with respect to all or any part of the Leased Premises, or from the construction, design, purchase or condition of the Leased Premises (including any Claims arising, directly or indirectly, out of the actual or alleged presence, use, storage, generation or Release of any Hazardous Materials, and any Claims for patent, trademark or copyright infringement and latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), including any liability under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any Claims arising directly or indirectly out of any actual or alleged violation, now or hereafter existing, of any Environmental Laws), (ii) the Lease or any modification, amendment or supplement thereto, (iii) the non-compliance of the Leased Premises with Applicable Laws (including because of the existence of the Permitted Encumbrances), (iv) any matter relating to all or any part of the Leased Premises or any operations thereon, including matters relating to Environmental Laws or Hazardous Materials, (v) the breach by Tenant of its representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Lease whether or not such Claim arises or accrues prior to the date of this Lease, (vi) the business and activities of Tenant, (vii) the business and activities of any other Person on or about the Leased Premises (whether as an invitee, subtenant, licensee or otherwise), (viii) the cost of assessment, containment and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Materials from all or any portion of the Leased Premises or any surrounding areas for which Tenant has any legal obligation, the cost of any actions taken in response to a Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting any portion of the Leased Premises or any surrounding areas for which Tenant has any legal obligation to prevent or minimize such Release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the Leased Premises or any surrounding areas for which Tenant has any legal obligation, and (ix) an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Tenant to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Indemnitee from and against any Claims imposed on or incurred by such Indemnitee by reason of such Indemnitee's willful misconduct or gross negligence or by reason of any liens and liabilities of Landlord solely in connection with any financing by Landlord of the Leased Premises.
- In case any Claim shall be made or brought against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall give prompt notice thereof to Tenant; provided that failure to so notify Tenant shall not reduce Tenant's obligations to indemnify any Indemnitee hereunder unless and only to the extent such failure results in additional liability on Tenant's part. Tenant shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through counsel selected by Tenant (and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee), to participate in, or, except as otherwise provided, to assume and control (if it promptly so elects upon notice of the Claim), and, to the extent that Tenant desires to assume and control, in consultation with Indemnitee, the negotiation, litigation and/or settlement of any such Claim (subject to the provisions of the last sentence of subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 10). Such Indemnitee may (but shall not be obligated to) participate at its own expense (unless Tenant is not properly performing its obligations hereunder and then at the expense of Tenant) and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by Tenant in accordance with the foregoing, in which case Tenant shall keep such Indemnitee and its counsel fully informed of all proceedings and filings and afford such Indemnitee and counsel reasonable opportunity for comment.

- Upon payment in full of any Claim by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 10 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, Tenant, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all Claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such Indemnitee at its own expense or claims against another Indemnitee for which Tenant would have indemnity obligations hereunder) to the extent of such payment, and such Indemnitee shall execute such instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of Claims and payment and such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve any such Claims and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Tenant to enable Tenant to pursue such Claims.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Paragraph 10 for any Claim to the extent resulting from the material misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
- The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 10 shall survive any termination of this Lease.
- Maintenance and Repair.

Tenant shall do or cause others to do all shoring of the Leased Premises or of foundations and walls of the Improvements and every other act necessary or appropriate for preservation and safety thereof, by reason of or in connection with any excavation or other building operation upon any of the Leased Premises, whether or not Landlord shall, by reason of any Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, be required to take such action or be liable for failure to do so. LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO MAKE ANY REPAIR, WHETHER FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, OR TO MAINTAIN ANY OF THE LEASED PREMISES OR ADJOINING PROPERTY IN ANY WAY, AND TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE REPAIRS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE LANDLORD, WHICH RIGHT MAY BE PROVIDED FOR IN ANY LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to preclude Tenant from being entitled to insurance proceeds or condemnation awards for Restoration pursuant to Paragraphs 13 (c) and 14 (g) of this Lease. Tenant shall, in all events, make all repairs for which it is responsible hereunder promptly, and all repairs shall be in a good, proper and workmanlike manner.
- Subject to Section 18 hereof, in the event that any Improvement shall violate any Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements and as a result of such violation enforcement action is threatened or commenced against Tenant or with respect to the Leased Premises, then Tenant, at the request of Landlord, shall either (i) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such violation, whether the same shall affect Landlord, Tenant or both, or (ii) take such action as shall be necessary to remove such violation, including, if necessary, any Alteration.

In the event of an emergency Landlord shall notify Tenant of the situation by phone or other available communication. All reasonable sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring the expense, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.
- Tenant shall from time to time replace with Replacement Equipment any of the Equipment which shall have become worn out or unusable for the purpose for which it is intended, been taken by a Condemnation as provided in Paragraph 13, or been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed as provided in Paragraph 14. Tenant shall repair at its sole cost and expense all damage to the Leased Premises caused by the removal of Equipment or Replaced Equipment or other personal property of Tenant or the installation of Replacement Equipment. All Replacement Equipment (except for Trade Fixtures) shall become the property of Landlord, shall be free and clear of all liens and rights of others and shall become a part of the Equipment as if originally demised herein.

- Tenant may request additional funding from Landlord in order to pay for the costs and expenses of any Alteration that complies with this Paragraph 12. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such additional funding, subject to a proportional adjustment in Basic Rent. If Landlord is unable to obtain such additional funding (in whole or in part), or if Tenant shall reject the terms of such additional funding, Tenant shall either (i) pay for the costs and expenses of such Alteration on Tenant's own account, (ii) pay (on Tenant's own account) for any deficiency between the costs and expenses of such Alteration and the additional funding obtained by Landlord, or (iii) forego such Alteration.
- Condemnation.
- Tenant, promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceeding for Condemnation, shall notify Landlord thereof and Landlord shall be entitled to participate in any Condemnation proceeding. Landlord, promptly after obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceeding for Condemnation, shall notify Tenant thereof and Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in such proceedings. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 13 and Paragraph 15, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Lender or to Landlord, in that order, any award or payment in respect of any Condemnation of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises, except that (except as hereinafter provided) nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to assign to Landlord or Lender any Tenant's Award to the extent Tenant shall have a right to make a separate claim therefor against the condemnor, it being agreed, however, that Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any payment that reduces the award to which Landlord is or would be entitled for the condemnation of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to Paragraph 13(c)(iii) hereof), Tenant shall be entitled to Tenant's Award only in the event of a Condemnation described in Paragraph 13(b)(i)(A) and then only to the extent that when such award is subtracted from the entire award in respect to all interests in the Leased Premises, the remainder exceeds the amount set forth on Exhibit "D" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
- (i) (A) If (I) the entire Leased Premises, (II) a material portion of the Land or the building constructed on the Land or any means of ingress, egress or access to the Leased Premises, the loss of which even after restoration would, in Tenant's reasonable business judgment, be substantially and materially adverse to the business operations of Tenant at the Leased Premises, or (III) any means of ingress, egress or access to the Leased Premises which does not result in at least one method of ingress and egress to and from the Leased Premises remaining, provided the same is permitted under then existing Legal Requirements, shall be subject of a Taking by a duly constituted authority or agency having jurisdiction, then Tenant may, not later than ninety (90) days after such Taking has occurred, serve a Tenant's Termination Notice upon Landlord.
- (i) In the event of a Condemnation of any part of the Leased Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, subject to the requirements of Paragraph 15, the Net Award of such Condemnation shall be retained by Landlord; and promptly after such Condemnation, Tenant shall commence and diligently continue to completion the Restoration of the Leased Premises.
- Except with respect to an award or payment to which Tenant is entitled pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 13 (a), 13 (b) and 13 (c), no agreement with any condemnor in settlement of or under threat of any Condemnation shall be made by either Landlord or Tenant (provided no Event of Default then exists and is continuing) without the written consent of the other, and of Lender, if the Leased Premises are then subject to a Mortgage, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
- Insurance.
- Tenant shall maintain at its sole cost and expense the following insurance on the Leased Premises:
- Insurance against loss or damage to the Improvements and Equipment under a fire and broad form of all risk extended coverage insurance policy (which shall include flood insurance if the Leased Premises is located within a flood hazard area and which shall include earthquake insurance if the Leased Premises is located in an area where earthquake insurance is customarily maintained for similar commercial properties). Such insurance shall be in amounts sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer under the applicable policies, and in any event in amounts not less than the actual replacement cost of the Improvements and Equipment (excluding footings and foundations and other parts of the Improvements which are not insurable) as determined from time to time at either Lender's or Landlord's request but not more frequently than once in any 12-month period, by agreement of Landlord, Lender and Tenant, or if not so agreed, at Tenant's expense, by the insurer or insurers or by an appraiser approved by Landlord. Such insurance policies may contain reasonable exclusions and deductible amounts, all in accordance with industry standards.
- Contractual and comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Leased Premises, which insurance shall be written on a so-called "Occurrence Basis", and shall provide minimum protection with a combined single limit in an amount not less than the greater of (x) Five Million ($5,000,000) Dollars (or in such increased limits from time to time to reflect declines in the purchasing power of the dollar as Landlord may reasonably request) or (y) the aggregate amount of such insurance carried by Tenant, for bodily injury, death and property damage in any one occurrence.
- Worker's compensation insurance covering all persons employed by Tenant on the Leased Premises in connection with any work done on or about any of the Leased Premises for which claims for death or bodily injury could be asserted against Landlord, Tenant or the Leased Premises.
- Intentionally deleted;
- Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of any steam or pressure boilers or similar apparatus located in or about the Improvements in an amount not less than the actual replacement cost of the Improvements and Equipment (excluding footings and foundations and other parts of the Improvements which are not insurable).
- Such additional and/or other insurance with respect to the Improvements located on the Leased Premises and in such amounts as at the time is customarily carried by prudent owners or tenants with respect to improvements similar in character, location and use and occupancy to the Improvements located on the Leased Premises.
- So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the consolidated Tangible Net Worth of Lease Guarantor is not less than Two Hundred Million ($200,000,000.00) Dollars as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and (iii) Lease Guarantor maintains a rating of NAIC II or better as rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") (unless required by the Securities Evaluation Office of the NAIC to be a rating of NAIC I with the respect to the continued treatment of this Lease as a credit tenant lease, in which event Lease Guarantor must maintain a rating of NAIC I), Tenant may self-insure all or any portion of the coverage referred to in Paragraph 14(a) above.
- The insurance required by Paragraph 14(a) shall be written by companies having a claims paying ability rating by Standard & Poor's of not less than A-, and all such companies shall be authorized to do an insurance business in the State, or otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Lender. The insurance policies (i) shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof, and (ii) shall (except for the worker's compensation insurance referred to in Paragraph 14 (a) (iii) hereof) name Landlord, Tenant and any Lender whose name and address have been provided to Tenant as additional insured parties, as their respective interests may appear. If said insurance or any part thereof shall expire, be withdrawn, become void by breach of any condition thereof by Tenant or become void or unsafe by reason of the failure or impairment of the capital of any insurer, Tenant shall immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Lender.
- Each insurance policy referred to in clauses (i), (iv), (v) (and (vi) if requested by Lender) of Paragraph 14 (a), shall contain standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses in favor of any Lender whose name and address have been provided to Tenant. Each policy shall provide that it may not be canceled except after thirty (30) days' prior notice to Landlord and any such Lender. Each policy shall also provide that any losses otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding (i) any act or omission of Landlord or Tenant which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment, or (ii) the occupation or use of any of the Leased Premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the provisions of such policy.
- Tenant shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by this Paragraph 14, shall renew or replace each policy, and shall deliver to Landlord and Lender a certificate or other evidence (reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Landlord) of the existing policy and such renewal or replacement policy at least five (5) days prior to the Insurance Expiration Date of each policy. Each such policy shall provide that it shall not expire until the Landlord and any Lender listed as additional insured or loss payee shall receive a notice from the insurer to the effect that such policy will expire on the Insurance Expiration Date, as set forth in such notice, which shall be thirty (30) days following the date of the receipt by Landlord and such Lender of such notice. In the event of Tenant's failure to comply with any of the foregoing requirements of this Paragraph 14 within five (5) business days of the giving of written notice by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to procure such insurance. Any sums expended by Landlord in procuring such insurance shall be Additional Rent and shall be repaid by Tenant, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the time of payment by Landlord until fully paid by Tenant immediately upon written demand therefor by Landlord.
- Anything in this Paragraph 14 to the contrary notwithstanding, any insurance which Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to Paragraph 14(a) may be carried under a "blanket" policy or policies covering other properties or liabilities of Tenant, provided that such "blanket" policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 14. In the event any such insurance is carried under a blanket policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and Lender evidence of the issuance and effectiveness of the policy, the amount and character of the coverage with respect to the Leased Premises and the presence in the policy of provisions of the character required in the above sections of this Paragraph 14.
- In the event of any casualty loss exceeding $350,000, Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice thereof. Tenant shall adjust, collect and compromise any and all claims, with the consent of Lender and Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Landlord and Lender shall have the right to join with Tenant therein. If the estimated cost of Restoration or repair shall be Three Hundred Fifty Thousand ($350,000.00) Dollars or less, all proceeds of any insurance required under clauses (i), (iv), (v) (and (vi) if requested by Lender) of Paragraph 14(a) shall be payable to Tenant, provided that Tenant (or the Lease Guarantor) at such time shall have a Tangible Net Worth of not less than Two Hundred Million ($200,000,000.00) Dollars as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and in all other events to a Trustee. If the Leased Premises shall be covered by a Mortgage, Lender, if it so desires, shall be the Trustee. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies directly to such Trustee instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly; and Tenant and Landlord each hereby appoints such Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor for the purposes set forth in this Lease after approval by Tenant of such Trustee, if Trustee is other than Lender. Except as expressly set forth below, in the event of any casualty (whether or not insured against) resulting in damage to the Leased Premises or any part thereof, the Term shall nevertheless continue and there shall be no abatement or reduction of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant hereunder. The Net Proceeds of such insurance payment shall be retained by the Trustee and, promptly after such casualty, Tenant, as required in Paragraphs 11 (a) and 12, shall commence and diligently continue to perform the Restoration to the Leased Premises. Upon payment to the Trustee of such Net Proceeds, the Trustee shall, to the extent available, make the Net Proceeds available to Tenant for restoration, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 15. Subject to Paragraph 14(h), Tenant shall, whether or not the Net Proceeds are sufficient for the purpose, promptly repair or replace the Improvements and Equipment in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 11(a) and the Net Proceeds of such loss shall thereupon be payable to Tenant, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 15 hereof. In the event that any damage or destruction shall occur at such time as Tenant shall not have maintained third-party insurance in accordance with Paragraph 14(a)(i),(iv),(v) or (vi), Tenant shall pay to the Trustee Tenant's Insurance Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all proceeds of any business interruption insurance maintained by Tenant shall be payable directly to Tenant.
- Restoration. The Restoration Fund shall be disbursed by the Trustee in accordance with the following conditions:
- If the cost of Restoration will exceed $350,000, prior to commencement of the Restoration the architects, general contractor(s), and plans and specifications for the Restoration shall be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and which approval shall be granted to the extent that the plans and specifications depict a Restoration which is substantially similar to the Improvements and Equipment which existed prior to the occurrence of the casualty or Taking, whichever is applicable.
- At the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged or unbonded.
- Disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the hard and soft cost of the work and costs incurred since the last disbursement upon receipt of (1) satisfactory evidence, including architects' certificates of the stage of completion, of the estimated cost of completion and of performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (2) partial releases of liens, and (3) other reasonable evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed in place or delivered to the site and free and clear of mechanics' lien claims.
- Each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant describing the work, materials or other costs or expenses, for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith and stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work or expense and the certificate to be delivered by Tenant upon completion of the work shall, in addition, state that the work has been substantially completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease.
- The Trustee may retain ten percent (10%) of the Restoration Fund until the Restoration is at least fifty percent (50%) complete, and thereafter five percent (5%) until the Restoration is substantially complete.
- The Restoration Fund shall be kept in a separate interest-bearing federally insured account by the Trustee or by Lender. All interest shall become a part of the Restoration Fund.
- At all times the undisbursed balance of the Restoration Fund held by Trustee plus any funds contributed thereto by Tenant, at its option, shall be not less than the cost of completing the Restoration, free and clear of all liens.
- In addition, prior to commencement of Restoration and at any time during Restoration, if the estimated cost of Restoration, as reasonably determined by Landlord, exceeds the amount of the Net Proceeds, the Restoration Award and Tenant Insurance Payment available for such Restoration, the amount of such excess shall be paid by Tenant to the Trustee to be added to the Restoration Fund or Tenant shall fund at its own expense the costs of such Restoration until the remaining Restoration Fund is sufficient for the completion of the Restoration. Any sum in the Restoration Fund which remains in the Restoration Fund upon the completion of Restoration shall be paid to Tenant. For purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds remaining after the completion of Restoration, the Net Proceeds or the Restoration Award shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.
- Subordination to Financing.
- (i) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 16 (a)(ii), Tenant agrees that this Lease shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage, and Tenant agrees, upon demand, without cost, to execute instruments as may be required to further effectuate or confirm such subordination.
- Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 16(a), the holder of any Mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate shall have the right, at its sole option, at any time, to subordinate and subject the Mortgage, in whole or in part, to this Lease by recording a unilateral declaration to such effect, provided that such holder shall have agreed that during the time this Lease is in force any insurance proceeds and any condemnation award shall be disbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Lease and shall be permitted to be used for restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
- At any time prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant agrees, at the election and upon demand of any owner of the Leased Premises, or of a Lender who has granted non-disturbance to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 16 (a) above, to attorn, from time to time, to any such owner or Lender, upon the terms and conditions of this Lease, for the remainder of the Term. The provisions of this Paragraph 16(c) shall inure to the benefit of any such owner or Lender, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the foreclosure of the Mortgage, shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions.
- Each of Tenant, any owner and Lender, however, upon demand of the other, hereby agrees to execute, from time to time, instruments in confirmation of the foregoing provisions of Paragraphs 16(a) and 16(c), reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party acknowledging such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment as are provided in such subsections and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy.
- Each of Tenant, Landlord and Lender agrees that, if requested by any of the others, each shall, without charge, enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement reasonably requested by Lender, provided such agreement contains provisions relating to non-disturbance in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 16(a) and Tenant hereby agrees for the benefit of any Lender whose name and address have been provided to Tenant, that Tenant will not, (i) without in each case the prior written consent of such Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, amend or modify this Lease (provided, however, such Lender, in such Lender's sole discretion may withhold or condition its consent to any amendment or modification which would or could (A) alter in any way the amount or time for payment of any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sum payable hereunder, (B) alter in any way the absolute and unconditional nature of Tenant's obligations hereunder or materially diminish any such obligations, (C) result in any termination hereof prior to the end of the initial term, or (D) otherwise, in such Lender's reasonable judgment, affect the rights or obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder), or enter into any agreement with Landlord so to do, (ii) without the prior written consent of such Lender which may be withheld in such Lender's sole discretion, cancel or surrender or seek to cancel or surrender the Term hereof, or enter into any agreement with Landlord to do so (the parties agreeing that the foregoing shall not be construed to affect the rights or obligations of Tenant, Landlord or Lender with respect to any termination permitted under the express terms hereof following certain events of condemnation or casualty as provided in Paragraph 13 or Paragraph 14 hereof), or (c) pay any installment of Basic Rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof or otherwise than in the manner provided for in this Lease.
- Assignment, Subleasing.
- With the exception of a tenant that would render the Leased Premises or a portion thereof a "tax-exempt use property" within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease and may sublet the Leased Premises in whole or in part, from time to time, without the consent of Landlord. Except for any right to place a lien on its personal property, Tenant shall have no rights to mortgage or otherwise hypothecate its leasehold interest under this Lease. With respect to any assignment or sublease to an entity that is not an Affiliate, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written summary of the material terms of such assignment or sublease prior to the commencement date thereof.
- Each sublease of the Leased Premises or any part thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease. No assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, (i) Tenant shall continue to remain primarily liable and responsible for the payment of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and the performance of all its other obligations under this Lease and (ii) Lease Guarantor shall continue to remain primarily liable for each of its payment and performance obligations under the Lease Guaranty. No assignment or sublease shall impose any obligations on Landlord under this Lease except as otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant agrees that in the case of an assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of any such assignment, deliver to Landlord (i) a duplicate original of such assignment in recordable form and (ii) an agreement executed and acknowledged by the assignee in recordable form wherein the assignee shall agree to assume and agree to observe and perform all of the terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed and performed from and after the date of such assignment. In the case of a sublease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of such sublease, deliver to Landlord a duplicate original of such sublease.
- Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease of any of the Leased Premises, and Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns such rents and money to Landlord, which assignment may be exercised upon and after (but not before) the occurrence of an Event of Default.
- Permitted Contests.
- So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, after prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall not be required to (i) pay any Imposition, (ii) comply with any Legal Requirement, (iii) discharge or remove any lien referred to in Paragraph 9 or 12, or (iv) take any action with respect to any violation referred to in Paragraph 11(b) so long as Tenant shall contest, in good faith and at its expense, the existence, the amount or the validity thereof, the amount of the damages caused thereby, or the extent of its or Landlord's liability therefor, by appropriate proceedings which shall operate during the pendency thereof to prevent (A) the collection of, or other realization upon, the Imposition or lien so contested, (B) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Leased Premises, any Basic Rent or any Additional Rent to satisfy the same or to pay any damages caused by the violation of any such Legal Requirement or by any such violation, (C) any interference with the use or occupancy of any of the Leased Premises, (D) any interference with the payment of any Basic Rent or any Additional Rent, and (E) the cancellation of any fire or other insurance policy.
- In no event shall Tenant pursue any contest with respect to any Imposition, Legal Requirement, lien, or violation, referred to above in such manner that exposes Landlord or Lender to (i) criminal liability, penalty or sanction, (ii) any civil liability, penalty or sanction for which Tenant has not made provisions reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Lender or (iii) defeasance of its interest (including the subordination of the lien of any Mortgage to a lien to which such Mortgage is not otherwise subordinate prior to such contest) in the Leased Premises.
- Tenant agrees that each such contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion, except that Tenant shall have the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations. Tenant shall pay and save Lender and Landlord harmless against any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including all attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof.
- Conditional Limitations; Default Provisions.
- If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Landlord shall have the right at its option, then or at any time thereafter, to do any one or more of the following without demand upon or notice to Tenant:
- Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice (which date shall be no sooner than ten (10) days after the date of the notice). Upon the date therein specified the Term and the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate as if such date were the date hereinabove fixed for the expiration of the Term, but Tenant shall remain liable for all its obligations hereunder through the date hereinabove fixed for the expiration of the Term, including its liability for Basic Rent and Additional Rent as hereinafter provided.
- Landlord may, whether or not the Term of this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to clause (i) above give Tenant notice to surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord on a date specified in such notice (which date shall be no sooner than ten (10) days after the date of the notice), at which time Tenant shall surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord. Upon or at any time after taking possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may remove any persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. No such entry or repossession shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless Landlord gives a written notice of such intention to Tenant pursuant to clause (i) above.
- After repossession of any of the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (ii) above, whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord may relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof to such tenant or tenants for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) for such rent, on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine; and Landlord shall collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. The rents received on such reletting shall be applied (A) first to the reasonable and actual expenses of such reletting and collection, including without limitation necessary renovation and alterations of the Leased Premises, reasonable and actual attorneys' fees and any reasonable and actual real estate commissions paid, and (B) thereafter toward payment of all sums due or to become due Landlord hereunder. If a sufficient amount to pay such expenses and sums shall not be realized or secured, then Tenant shall pay Landlord any such deficiency monthly, and Landlord may bring an action therefor as such monthly deficiency shall arise. Landlord shall not, in any event, be required to pay Tenant any sums received by Landlord on a reletting of the Leased Premises in excess of the rent provided in this Lease, but such excess shall reduce any accrued present or future obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord's re-entry and reletting of the Leased Premises without termination of this Lease shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently terminating this Lease as set forth above. Landlord may make such Alterations as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, immediately upon demand, all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining possession, in performing Alterations and in reletting any of the Leased Premises, including fees and commissions of attorneys, architects, agents and brokers.
- If Tenant shall fail to make payment of any installment of Basic Rent or any Additional Rent after the date when each such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, interest on the unpaid amount of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, at the Default Rate, such interest to accrue from the date such item of unpaid Basic Rent or Additional Rent was due until the date paid.
- Landlord may exercise any other right or remedy now or hereafter existing by law or in equity.
- In the event of any expiration or termination of this Lease or repossession of any of the Leased Premises by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to and including the date of such expiration, termination or repossession and, thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for and shall pay to Landlord as liquidated and agreed current damages: (i) Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Paragraph 19 (a)(iii), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting (including all reasonable repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, employees' expenses, costs of Alteration and expenses of preparation for reletting). Tenant hereby agrees to be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no such Event of Default.
- At any time after such expiration or sooner termination of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 19 or pursuant to law or if Landlord shall have reentered the Leased Premises, as the case may be, whether or not Landlord shall have recovered any amounts under Paragraph 19(a)(iii) or 19(b), Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default, the amount by which the Basic Rent and all Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term demised herein as if this Lease had not expired or been terminated exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period, discounted to present worth at the annual rate of six percent (6%), minus any such monthly deficiencies previously recovered from Tenant under Paragraph 19(a)(iii). If any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in which such liquidated final damages provided for in this Paragraph 19(c) are to be proved shall validly limit the amount thereof to an amount less than the amount above agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law.
- If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 19 and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any liquidated damages pursuant to Paragraph 19(b), Landlord shall have the right to recover, by demand to Tenant and at Landlord's election, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as and for final liquidated damages (which, if requested, shall be paid concurrently), and in lieu of all liquidated damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages) the Termination Value together with all Additional Payments. Upon payment of the Termination Value together with all Additional Payments, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord, either at Tenant's request or upon Landlord's election, in either case at Tenant's cost, an assignment of Landlord's entire right, title and interest in and to the Leased Premises, Land, Improvements, Equipment and all components thereof, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in conformity with local custom and free and clear of the lien of this Lease (including without limitation the release of any memoranda of Lease and/or any lease supplement recorded in connection therewith). The Leased Premises shall be conveyed to Tenant by special warranty deed (or local equivalent) and in their then present physical condition. The special warranty deed (or local equivalent) shall convey title, free from encumbrances other than (A) Permitted Encumbrances, (B) liens or encumbrances created or suffered by Tenant or arising by reason of the failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of the terms, covenants or agreements herein provided to be observed and performed by Tenant, (C) any installments of Impositions then affecting the Leased Premises, and (D) this Lease. If any statute or rule of law shall limit the amount of such final liquidated damages to less than the amount agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law; provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to receive an assignment of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises, Land, the Improvements, Equipment or the components thereof unless Tenant shall have paid in full the Termination Value together with all Additional Payments. Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 19(d) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be paid and/or performed, as the case may be, without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and, as a result thereof, Lender shall require Landlord, as borrower under the Loan, to purchase from Lender the Note or Notes evidencing the Loan and otherwise pay off the Loan in full, Tenant shall have the right to elect, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to either (i) (x) purchase the Note or Notes directly from Lender and pay to Lender such amount required to pay off the Loan in full, together with any "make-whole" or other premiums under the Loan, and (y) thereafter pay to Landlord as Basic Rent under this Lease, the Basic Rent as set forth on Exhibit B-3 of this Lease less an amount equal to the monthly debt service that would have been payable under the Loan each month during the term hereof ((x) and (y) collectively, the "Note Purchase"), in which event, at Landlord's election, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect or (ii) pay to Landlord the Termination Value, together with all Additional Payments and any principal amount then outstanding under the Loan (to the extent such principal amount is not included as part of the Additional Payments) (the "Property Purchase"). Upon payment of the Termination Value together with all Additional Payments, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord, either at Tenant's request or upon Landlord's election, in either case at Tenant's cost, an assignment of Landlord's entire right, title and interest in and to the Leased Premises, Land, Improvements, Equipment and all components thereof, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in conformity with local custom and free and clear of the lien of this Lease (including without limitation the release of any memoranda of Lease and/or any lease supplement recorded in connection therewith). The Leased Premises shall be conveyed to Tenant by special warranty deed (or local equivalent) and in their then present physical condition.

- Landlord hereby waives any right to distrain or levy upon Trade Fixtures or any property of Tenant and any Landlord's lien or similar lien upon Trade Fixtures and any other property of Tenant regardless of whether such lien is created or otherwise. Landlord agrees at the request of Tenant, to execute a waiver of any Landlord's or similar lien for the benefit of any present or future holder of a security interest in or landlord of any of Trade Fixtures or any other personal property of Tenant.
- Landlord acknowledges and agrees in the future to acknowledge (in a written form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant) to such persons and entities at such times and for such purposes as Tenant may reasonably request that the Trade Fixtures are Tenant's property and not part of the Improvements (regardless of whether or to what extent such Trade Fixtures are affixed to the Improvements) or otherwise subject to the terms of this Lease.

It is intended that any such statements may be relied upon by Lender, the recipient of such statements or their assignees or by any prospective purchaser, assignee or subtenant of the Leased Premises.
- Surrender and Holding Over.
- Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably leave and surrender the Leased Premises (except as to any portion thereof with respect to which this Lease has previously terminated) to Landlord. Tenant shall remove from the Leased Premises on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination the Trade Fixtures and personal property which is owned by Tenant or third parties other than Landlord, and Tenant at its expense shall, on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination, repair any damage caused by such removal. Trade Fixtures and personal property not so removed at the end of the Term or within thirty days after the earlier termination of the Term for any reason whatsoever shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Leased Premises. The cost of removing and disposing of such property and repairing any damage to any of the Leased Premises caused by such removal shall be borne by Tenant. Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse Tenant for any property which becomes the property of Landlord as a result of such expiration or earlier termination.
- Any holding over by Tenant of the Leased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease or any extensions thereof, with the consent of Landlord, shall operate and be construed as tenancy from month to month only, at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Basic Rent reserved herein and upon the same terms and conditions as contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holding over without Landlord's consent shall entitle Landlord, in addition to collecting Basic Rent at a rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) thereof, to exercise all rights and remedies provided by law or in equity, including the remedies of Paragraph 19(b).
- No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of this Lease nor of the leasehold estate created by this Lease with the fee estate in or ownership of any of the Leased Premises by reason of the fact that the same person, corporation, firm or other entity may acquire or hold or own, directly or indirectly, (a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created by this Lease or any interest in this Lease or in such leasehold estate and (b) the fee estate or ownership of any of the Leased Premises or any interest in such fee estate or ownership. No such merger shall occur unless and until all persons, corporations, firms and other entities having any interest in (i) this Lease or the leasehold estate created by this Lease and (ii) the fee estate in or ownership of the Leased Premises or any part thereof sought to be merged shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record the same.

- The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners of the Leased Premises or holder of the Mortgage in possession at the time in question of the Leased Premises and in the event of any transfer or transfers of the title of the Leased Premises, the Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer and conveyance of all personal liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed.
- Hazardous Substances.
- Tenant agrees that it will not on, about, or under the Leased Premises, make, release, treat or dispose of any "hazardous substances" as that term is defined in CERCLA; but the foregoing shall not prevent the use, storage or existence of any hazardous substances in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and at levels that do not impose any clean up liability or obligation. Tenant represents and warrants that it will at all times comply with CERCLA and any other Environmental Laws.
- To the extent required by CERCLA and/or any other Environmental Laws, Tenant shall remove any "hazardous substances" (as defined in CERCLA) and "Hazardous Materials" (as defined above) whether now or hereafter existing on the Leased Premises and whether or not arising out of or in any manner connected with Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises during the Term. In addition to, and without limiting Paragraph 10 of this Lease, Tenant shall and hereby does agree to defend, indemnify and hold Lender and Landlord, their respective successors and assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, affiliates, beneficiaries and employees, harmless from and against any and all causes of actions, suits, demands or judgments of any nature whatsoever, losses, damages, penalties, expenses, fees, claims, costs (including response and remedial costs), and liabilities, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of litigation, arising out of or in any manner connected with (i) the violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Leased Premises or Tenant's prior ownership of the Leased Premises; (ii) the "release" or "threatened release" of or failure to remove, as required by this Paragraph 26, "hazardous substances" (as defined in CERCLA) and Hazardous Materials (as defined above) from the Leased Premises or any portion or portions thereof, including any past or current release and any release or threatened release during the initial term or any extension of Renewal Term, whether or not arising out of or in any manner connected with Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises during the Initial Term or any extension or Renewal Term.

No such entry shall constitute an eviction of Tenant but any such entry shall be done by Landlord in such reasonable manner as to minimize any disruption of Tenant's business operation.
- No Usury. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws, whenever any provision herein provides for payment by Tenant to Landlord of interest at a rate in excess of the legal rate permitted to be charged, such rate herein provided to be paid shall be deemed reduced to such legal rate.

Tenant shall submit to Landlord and Lender, either in print or in electronic form, the following financial statements, all of which must be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied: (i) quarterly financial statements for Tenant and Lease Guarantor, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each March, June, September and December during the Term and any Renewal Term, and (ii) annual financial statements for Tenant and Lease Guarantor, audited by an independent certified public accountant, within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year during the Term and any Renewal Term.

- If, by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or by any other Person in possession of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or by reason of the inaccuracy or breach by Tenant of any of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Paragraph 30, any anticipated depreciation deductions are lost, disallowed, eliminated, reduced, recaptured, compromised, delayed or otherwise made unavailable to Landlord (a "Loss") or Landlord incurs a tax detriment because Landlord is required to include amounts in income other than Anticipated Lease Income (an "Inclusion"), Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord promptly pay such Person on demand in immediately available funds, as an indemnity an amount which, on an After-Tax Basis, shall be equal to the sum of (x) the increase in federal, state, local and foreign income tax liability for the respective taxable year attributable to such Loss or Inclusion plus (y) the amounts of interest, penalties and additions to tax (including, without limitation, any additions to tax because of underpayment of estimated tax), which are assessed against Landlord for such taxable year by the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state, local or foreign taxing authority and which are attributable to such Loss or Inclusion.
- Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any actual or proposed claim, adjustment or other action of any tax authority received by Landlord in writing with respect to which Tenant may be required to provide indemnification under this Paragraph 30 ("Proposed Adjustment") (but failure of Landlord to so notify Tenant shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that Tenant is precluded from any contest and actually and materially harmed thereby). If Tenant shall request in writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord's notice described above that the Proposed Adjustment be contested (or such shorter period in which the Landlord may be required to take action), Landlord shall contest the Proposed Adjustment; provided, however, that: (i) prior to taking such action, Tenant shall have furnished Landlord with an opinion of independent tax advisor chosen by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to the effect that Landlord has a reasonable possibility of success in contesting the claim; (ii) prior to taking such action, Tenant shall have (A) acknowledged its obligation to indemnify Landlord hereunder in the event Landlord does not prevail in such contest and (B) agreed to reimburse Landlord promptly on demand for (or, if so requested by Landlord, advance) all costs and expenses that Landlord may incur in connection with contesting such claim, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses; (iii) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing; (iv) Landlord shall not be obligated to contest any proposed amount that is less than $25,000.00; and (v) Landlord shall in all events control the contest, and Tenant shall not have any right to inspect the books and records of Landlord, but shall have reasonable opportunity to review and comment on portions of documentation, protests, memoranda or briefs relating exclusively to a Proposed Adjustment. In the event Landlord pays the tax claimed and then seeks a refund, Landlord may require Tenant to advance funds sufficient to pay the tax that would be indemnified by Tenant hereunder if the refund claim were resolved adversely to Landlord. To the extent the refund claim is successful, the refund received from the taxing authority and attributable to funds advanced by Tenant shall be refunded to Tenant, unless the refund is needed to pay an indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 30(c), Landlord may at any time decline to take any further action with respect to a Proposed Adjustment or may settle any contest without the consent of Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant has complied with all the terms of this Paragraph 30(c), and Tenant has reasonably withheld in writing its consent to all or part of such assessment or settlement based upon its evaluation of the merits, Tenant will not be obligated to indemnify Landlord for the portion of such assessment or settlement to which Tenant has reasonably withheld its consent. In the case of any flow-through entity, "Landlord" shall include the member or other equity owners of Landlord required to report the gross or net income of Landlord and/or other items of income, expense, deduction and credit with respect thereto, and "Landlord" and the owners thereof shall include the consolidated group of which any such Person is a part for income tax purposes.

- Withholdings.
- Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant agrees that each payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be free and clear of, and without deduction for any withholdings of any nature whatsoever unless required by Applicable Law. If any deduction or withholding is required with respect to a payment of Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay an additional amount such that the net amount actually received by the Tax Indemnitee, after deduction or withholding, will be equal, on an After-Tax Basis, to all such amounts that would be received by the Tax Indemnitee if no such deduction or withholding had been required; provided, that the Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any additional amount pursuant to this Paragraph 31 if the requirement to make such payment is solely due to the failure of a Tax Indemnitee to comply with Paragraph 8(a)(ii)(E) to obtain relief or exemption from such withholding.
- Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Paragraph 31 shall survive the earlier termination of this Lease.

- If Tenant shall have agreed to purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to an offer under which the third party offeror was to acquire the Leased Premises under and subject to the lien of the Mortgage, and if such purchase by Tenant of the Leased Premises shall occur at a time when the Loan may be prepaid or defeased, as the case may be, Tenant may, at it's option (but without any obligation to do so) purchase the Leased Premises for cash free and clear of the Mortgage but only if (i) the cash portion of the offer is increased by an amount equal to the principal and interest secured by the Mortgage, and (ii) Tenant pays (in addition to the purchase price) all prepayment premiums or defeasance deposits, yield maintenance amounts, satisfaction fees and any and all other sums which become owing as a result of such prepayment or defeasance, as the case may be; all to the end and effect that Landlord will net the same amount as Landlord would have netted had the Leased Premises been sold under and subject to the lien of the Mortgage, pursuant to the offer.
- Separability. Each and every covenant and agreement contained in this Lease is, and shall be construed to be, a separate and independent covenant and agreement, and the breach of any such covenant or agreement by Landlord shall not discharge or relieve Tenant from its obligation to perform the same. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to person or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.
