If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation, in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the board of directors of said corporation, in accordance with the bylaws of said corporation, and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation.
30.B. Limited Partnerships. If the Landlord is a limited partnership, it is understood and agreed that any claims by Tenant, its agents, insurers, or any other persons or entities representing Tenant, against or on Landlord shall be limited to the assets of the limited partnership, and furthermore, Tenant expressly waives any and all right to proceed against the individual partners, or the officers, directors or shareholders of any corporate partner, except to the extent of their interest in said limited partnership.
30.C. Sublease. Since Landlord herein is leasing the land (herein called “Land”) upon which the Office Building of the Project containing the Premises is constructed pursuant to the terms of that certain Ground Lease (herein called “Ground Lease”) dated September 30, 1982, executed by The Lodge Limited, a limited partnership, as lessor (herein called the “Land Owner”) and Landlord’s assignor, as lessee, the term of which Ground Lease does not expire until September 30, 2057, this Lease entered into by the parties hereto is technically a sublease, even though called herein, for definitional and convenience purposes, the “Lease”, instead of “Sublease”, and the parties hereto are called “landlord” and “Tenant”, respectively, instead of “Sublessor” and “Subtenant”. Landlord represents and warrants that, under the terms of said Ground Lease, Landlord is fully authorized to enter into this sublease relating to the Land.
31. SIGNS.
No sign, placard, picture, advertisement, banner, notice or name shall be inscribed, displayed, printed, affixed or attached on or to the Premises or to the outside or inside of the Premises or any portion of the Project by Tenant, including but not limited to, the roof, fascia, glass, sidewalks or landscaping, except as expressly provided hereafter, without the prior written approval of the Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to remove any unauthorized sign, placard, picture, advertisement, banner, notice or name without notice to and at the expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable in damages for such removal.
Tenant shall, however, at Tenant’s sole expense, place lettering on the window glass next to the entry of the Premises and lettering on the front of the Office Building, at such locations designated by Landlord, not later than the date Tenant opens the Premises for business, in accordance with the design criteria and standards of Landlord specified in Exhibit “D” attached hereto and made a part hereof.
32. WINDOW COVERING.
Tenant shall not install or use any blinds, shades, awnings, screens, or glass coatings in connection with any window or door of the Premises and shall not use any window coverings facing any exterior glass other than the window coverings permitted by Landlord and installed at Tenant’s expense.
33. FLOOR LOADING.
Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight, size and position of all safes and other heavy equipment brought into the Office Building, the times and manner of moving the same in or out of the Office Building, and all such moving must be done under the supervision of Landlord or Landlord’s agent. Safes or other heavy equipment shall, if permitted by the Landlord, stand on a platform of such thickness and area as is necessary to properly distribute the weight. Landlord shall not be responsible for loss of or damage to any such equipment or property from any cause, and all damage done to the Office Building by moving or maintaining any such equipment or other property shall be repaired at the expense of Tenant.
34. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(i) Plats and Riders. Clauses, plats, riders, and addendums, if any, affixed to this Lease are a part hereof.
(ii) Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of Minimum Rent, Adjustments or any other charges hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of the Tenant to pay the particular Minimum Rent, Adjustments or any other charges so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding default at the time of the acceptance of such Minimum Rent, Adjustments or any other charges. Waiver by Tenant of any right or remedy arising in connection with any default of Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy arising in connection with either a subsequent default of the same obligation or any other default. No right or remedy of Tenant hereunder or covenant, duty, or obligation of Landlord hereunder shall be deemed waived by Tenant unless such waiver is in writing.
(iii) Joint Obligation. If there be more than one Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed shall be joint and several.
(iv) Marginal Headings. The marginal headings and article titles to the articles of this Lease are not a part of this lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
(v) Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions in which performance is a factor.
(vi) Successors and Assigns. The covenants and conditions herein contained, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.
(vii) Recordation. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease, but a short form memorandum hereof may be recorded at the request of Landlord.
(viii) Quiet Possession. Upon Tenant paying the rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof, subject to all the provisions of this Lease.
(ix) Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises or Project. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within ten (10) days after written notice that said amount is past due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten (10%) percent of such overdue amount, plus any reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by the Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
(x) Prior Agreements. This Lease contains all of the agreements of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreements or understanding pertaining to any such matters shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Lease shall not be effective or binding on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto.
(xi) Inability to Perform. This Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because the Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of strike, labor troubles, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord.
(xii) Partial Invalidity. Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void, or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof and such other provision shall remain in full force and effect.
(xiii) Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.
(xiv) Choice of Law. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.
(xv) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action or proceeding brought by either party against the other under this Lease the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover for the fees of its attorneys in such action or proceeding, including costs of appeal, if any, in such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ fees. In addition, should it be necessary for Landlord to employ legal counsel to enforce any of the provisions herein contained, Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs reasonably incurred.
(xvi) Sale of Premises by Landlord. In the event of any sale of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation of such sale to the extent the purchaser, at such sale or any subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and any such purchaser, assumes and agrees to carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.
(xvii) Subordination, Attornment. Upon request of the Landlord, Tenant will in writing subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage, or deed of trust, to any bank, insurance company or other lending institution, now or hereafter in force against the Premise, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof.
In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by the Landlord covering the Premises, the Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease.
The provisions of this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, and so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect for the full term hereof.
(xviii) Notices. All notices and demands which may or are to be required or permitted to be given by either party on the other hereunder shall be in writing. All notices and demands by the Landlord to the Tenant shall be sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid, to the address herein below, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to the Landlord. All notices and demands by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Landlord at the address set forth herein, and to such other person or place as the Landlord may from time to time designate in a notice to the Tenant.

In the event that the Tenant shall not be in default in the performance of any term or condition of the Lease or Amendment, then at any time after August 31, 2021, Tenant shall have the right to cancel the Lease with at least one (1) month prior written notice received by the Landlord (hereinafter called the “Cancellation Notice”) and a one-time payment equal to four (4) month’s Rent (hereinafter called the “Buyout Amount”). The Buyout Amount shall be calculated by using the current monthly Rent due, including any rent increase that would have been charged during the four (4) month period. The Buyout Amount must accompany the Cancellation Notice for the Buyout to be operative. Tenant, in addition to the Buyout Amount, shall continue to pay Rent until the Lease cancellation date as established by the Cancellation Notice and this Article.
37. OPTIONS.
In the event that the Tenant shall not be in default in the performance of any term or condition of this Lease or any extension thereof, then upon the expiration of the Lease term then in effect, Tenant shall have the option to renew the Lease for one (1) additional term of one (1) year, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stipulated (the “Option”). The one (1) year Option will extend the Lease for the period September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024 and shall be subject to the Rent increase specified in Article 5.B.
The Option may be exercised by the Tenant at any time prior to that date which is six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. The Option shall be exercised by delivering, or mailing postage prepaid, notice to the Landlord stating that the Tenant is exercising said Option to renew. Such exercise of the Option shall automatically extend the term of the Lease upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, and no further writing need be executed by the Tenant or the Landlord. Once exercised, the Tenant shall not have the right to revoke said election to exercise the Option. In the event that the Option is not exercised as provided for herein within the time provided for, then the Option shall expire, and the Tenant shall not have the right to renew the Lease.
All terms and conditions of the Lease, not changed or affected by this Article 37, shall remain in full force and effect.
