7
17.2 Remedies. In the event of any such uncured default or breach by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord on the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach, enter and/or taking of possession of the Premises without a court order. Landlord may proceed by forcible detainer or by other judicial remedy to obtain possession of the Premises.
17.2.1 Landlord shall not have the immediate right of reentry (with or without notice) and may not remove all persons and property (subject to applicable law) from the Premises without first obtaining a court order allowing Landlord to take possession of the Premises. If Landlord obtains a court order for possession or if Tenant shall abandon the Premises for more than thirty (30) days, all property left on the Premises will be considered abandoned and may be sold, removed, or stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.
17.2.2 Should Landlord elect to re-enter as herein provided, or should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease or may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, re-let said premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the tem' of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises.
17.2.3 Upon each such re-letting (a) Tenant shall be immediately liable to pay to Landlord, in addition to any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder, for the reasonable cost and expenses of such re-letting and of such alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and the amount, if any, by which the rent reserved in this Lease for the period of such re-letting (up to but not beyond the term of this Lease) exceeds the amount agreed to be paid as rent for the Premises for such period on such re-letting, or (b) at the option of Landlord, rents received by such Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied, first to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, second to the payment of any reasonable costs and expenses of such re-letting and of such alterations and repairs, and third to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such re-letting under option (a), and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the new tenant, or if such rentals received from such re-letting under option (b) during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
8
17.2.4 No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach, unless such previous breach has already been cured by Tenant.
17.2.6 Pursue any other remedy not inconsistent with the foregoing now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of Arizona.
17.2.7 In addition to the foregoing rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur expenses in an amount that will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any sum due from Tenant is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as liquidated damages, a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur, in addition to interest on the money involved, because of the late payment by Tenant. Landlord's failure to demand the payment of late charges on one or more occasions shall not constitute a waiver of landlord's right to demand payment of past due late charges. Acceptance of late charges by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor shall such acceptance prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In addition, because of late payment or any other default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may also incur attorney's fees for services whether or not in connection with litigation, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord for these services.
9
17.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required by Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (45) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (45) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such 45-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder as long as Tenant shall be in default hereunder.
17.4 Attorney's Fees. In addition to the provisions of Section 17.2 above in favor of Landlord, the substantially prevailing party in any lawsuit involving the enforcement or interpretation of this Lease shall be entitled to recover from the substantially non-prevailing party the attorney's fees and costs reasonably incurred by the substantially prevailing party.
10
No assignment or sublease of the Premises by Tenant shall be binding upon Landlord or confer any rights on the proposed assignee or subtenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. Upon any assignment so approved by Landlord, Tenant shall not be relieved of any liability with respect to this Lease. In the event of any approved assignment or sublease by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any and all attorney's fees and costs incurred by Landlord in its review and approval of the assignment and/or sublease transaction and in the preparation and/or review of all documents related thereto, up to a total charge of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
11
23. PRIOR AGREEMENTS This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and cancels any and all prior agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.
26. GOVERNING LAW, DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND VENUE. This Lease shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona. In the event of any dispute, venue shall be the state court located in Maricopa County, Arizona.
In the event a party is in breach of this Agreement and the failure of a party to cure said breach in a timely manner, pursuant to this Agreement, to the other party's satisfaction within the period set forth herein, the other party or parties, in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies available to such other party or parties at law or in equity, shall have the right to seek injunctive relief and/or the appointment of a receiver.
The forgoing notwithstanding, the parties hereby agree to attempt to resolve all differences among themselves by nonbinding mediation. In the event of a dispute, either party may demand mediation (a settlement conference). If the parties fail to agree upon a mediator within five (5) business days of demand for mediation, either party may petition the Maricopa County Superior Court for the appointment of a mediator. If the dispute is not resolved by agreement of all parties within thirty (30) calendar days of the appointment of a mediator, or within forty-five (45) days after the written request for mediation is transmitted to the other party, either party may commence arbitration. The parties shall split the mediator's fee.
If mediation is not timely commenced or fails, all disputes among the parties to this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration, by one arbitrator, according to the Arizona Revised Statutes and the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. If the parties cannot unanimously agree upon an arbitrator, any person or entity involved in the dispute may petition the Maricopa County Superior Court for the appointment of an arbitrator. The parties to the arbitration shall split the arbitrator's fees equally. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced according to the Uniform Arbitration Act and/or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief and may award attorney fees and/or costs to the prevailing party or parties.
