In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any condemnation or taking is issued) with respect to any casualty, if the cost to repair such casualty would exceed $1,000,000, or (c) with respect to any condemnation, any Improvements or access to the Property or more than ten percent (10%) of the Property is (or will be) condemned or taken, then, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt of notice of such condemnation, taking or damage, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to the Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. With respect to any condemnation or taking (of any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards. With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall repair such damage or destruction.
8. Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the following:
(a) If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a) if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent and the Seller stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller.
7 |
(b) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting Escrow Agent scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
9. Default
(a) In the event that Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, and such default is not cured within five (5) days after receiving written notice from Seller of such default, Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and exclusive remedy to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole remedy. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer’s default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing. Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
(b) In the event of a default in the obligations herein taken by Seller with respect to the Property, and such default is not cured within five (5) days of receiving written notice from Buyer of such default, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) waive any unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer all of the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $20,000.00 (“Buyer’s Due Diligence Costs”), which return and payment shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; or (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder. If any Buyer’s Due Diligence Costs are payable pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall provide Seller with a written demand within ten (10) days of any such termination stipulating all of Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs, including invoices evidencing same.
8 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for any punitive, speculative or indirect consequential damages.
10. Closing. The Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Seller and Buyer, as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent for the benefit of Buyer at Closing the following executed documents:

Buyer shall have the right to advance the Closing upon five (5) days prior written notice to Seller; provided that all conditions precedent to both Buyer’s and Seller’s respective obligations to proceed with Closing under this Agreement have been satisfied (or, if there are conditions to a party’s obligation to proceed with Closing that remain unsatisfied, such conditions have been waived by such party). Buyer shall have a one-time right to extend the Closing for up to fifteen (15) business days upon written notice to Seller to be received by Seller on or before three (3) business days prior to the date scheduled for the Closing. If Buyer timely exercises this right to extend, any document that Seller is obligated to provide that is “time sensitive” does not need to be provided again by Seller.

(g) To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the environmental reports previously delivered by Seller to Buyer, no hazardous substances have been generated, stored, released, or disposed of on or about the Property in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Property which regulates or controls matters relating to the environment or public health or safety (collectively, “Environmental Laws”).

(h) To Seller’s knowledge, Exhibit F attached hereto is a true, correct and complete listing of all warranties in effect for the Property (the “Warranties”).
The representations and warranties of Seller shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year; provided, however, that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of such representations and warranties, or the breach of such covenants, in each instance discovered by Buyer after the Closing Date, shall be commenced and served, if at all, on or before the date which is one (1) year after the Closing Date and, if not commenced and served on or before such date, such representations, warranties and covenants shall lapse and thereafter shall be void and of no further force or effect.

Under no circumstances shall any individual named above have any personal liability under this Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not have any liability (and Buyer waives its right to bring any action) with respect to any of the foregoing representations and warranties and the covenants of Seller if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains actual written notice of information from Seller that contradicts any of the foregoing representations and warranties, or renders any of the foregoing representations and warranties untrue or incorrect, or establishes Sellers’ breach of such covenants, and Buyer with said knowledge nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. In no event shall any Seller be liable to Buyer for indirect, special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. If any of Seller’s representations and warranties shall not be true and correct in all material respects at any time on or before the Closing whether true and correct as of the date of this Agreement or whether any change in facts or circumstances has made the applicable representation and warranty no longer true and correct and regardless as to whether Buyer becomes actually aware of such fact through Seller’s notification or otherwise, then, to the extent Buyer obtains actual knowledge of such breach from Seller, Buyer may, at Buyer’s option, exercised by written notice to Seller (and as its sole and exclusive remedy), either (i) proceed with this transaction, accepting the applicable representation and warranty as being modified by such subsequent matters or knowledge and waiving any right relating thereto, if any, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and declare this Agreement of no further force and effect and in which event the Earnest Money shall promptly be returned to Buyer and Seller shall have no further liability hereunder by reason thereof.

In the event that either party (the “Exchanging Party”) desires to effectuate such an exchange, then the other party (the “Non-Exchanging Party”) agrees to cooperate fully with the Exchanging Party in order that the Exchanging Party may effectuate such an exchange; provided, however, that with respect to such Exchange (a) all additional costs, fees and expenses related thereto shall be the sole responsibility of, and borne by, the Exchanging Party; (b) the Non-Exchanging Party shall incur no additional liability as a result of such exchange; (c) the contemplated exchange shall not delay any of the time periods or other obligations of the Exchanging Party hereby, and without limiting the foregoing, the scheduled date for Closing shall not be delayed or adversely affected by reason of the Exchange; (d) the accomplishment of the Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchanging Party's obligations under the Agreement; and (e) the Non-Exchanging Party shall not be required to hold title to any land other than the Property for purposes of the Exchange.

Signatures on this Agreement which are transmitted electronically shall be valid for all purposes, however any party shall deliver an original signature on this Agreement to the other party upon request.
27. Anti-Terrorism.

ARTICLE 13
Assignment and Subletting
13.1. Assignment and Subletting. So long as no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole expense, without the consent of Landlord, assign, sublease or grant a right of occupancy or license of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to any Person; provided, however, that any such Person or other Person is not a debtor or debtor-in-possession in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding at the commencement of the assignment or subletting. Any assignee or subtenant shall assume in writing any obligations of Tenant with respect to the Premises assigned or subleased arising from and after the effective date of such assignment or subletting; provided, however, that no such assignment or subletting shall become effective until a fully executed copy of an assignment and assumption agreement or sublease agreement, as the case may be, shall have been delivered to Landlord. Any proposed assignment or sublease document shall provide that the assignee or subtenant thereunder shall be liable for all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease from and after the date of the assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding any such assignment or subletting, but subject to the terms and provisions of Section 13.3 below, Tenant shall not be released from its primary liability hereunder and shall continue to be obligated for all obligations of “Tenant” in this Lease, which obligations shall continue in full effect as obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no assignment or subletting had been made. In the event Tenant is not released pursuant to Section 13.3 below, Tenant will have the right, subsequent to any assignment or subletting (a) to receive a duplicate copy of each notice of default sent by Landlord to Tenant or any assignee or subtenant (but such notice shall be effective as against the Tenant, as well as any subsequent assignees or subtenants, even if a copy has not been delivered to such assignee or subtenant), and (b) to cure any default by Tenant or other assignee or subtenant under the Lease within the cure period provided for hereunder. Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord of any assignment or sublease of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises and an executed copy of the agreement of assignment and assumption or sublease agreement within sixty (60) days after the execution thereof. To the extent Tenant is not released pursuant to Section 13.3 below, such assignee or subtenant fails to perform on behalf of Tenant the obligations of Tenant hereunder and Tenant performs such obligations, then Tenant shall be subrogated to the rights of Landlord as against such assignee or subtenant in respect of such performance.
15 |
(a) Leasehold Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Tenant shall have the continuing right during the Term, once or more often, without obtaining Landlord’s consent or approval, to mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Lease, provided any such right is limited to Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder and all rights, easements, privileges and appurtenances specifically herein granted of Tenant under this Lease (any and all of which are referred to as a “Leasehold Mortgage”, the holder of such Leasehold Mortgage being herein referred to as a “Leasehold Mortgagee”) and is subordinate to the lien securing any financing obtained by Landlord with respect to the Property, as evidenced by a subordination agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both Landlord’s lender and Tenant’s lender. If Tenant shall have encumbered its leasehold estate created under this Lease by a Leasehold Mortgage, and the Leasehold Mortgagee shall notify Landlord in writing of the creation thereof, and provide an address for contacting the Leasehold Mortgagee, then Landlord, at the same time as it shall give notice of a breach of this Lease to Tenant shall, in addition, give notice thereof also to the Leasehold Mortgagee, and no such notice shall be deemed to have been given to Tenant unless and until a copy thereof shall have been so given to such Leasehold Mortgagee. Said Leasehold Mortgagee (its agents, receivers, trustee and anyone claiming under such Leasehold Mortgagee) upon the receipt of any such notice of default shall have the right to enter into and upon the Premises and take possession thereof and to remedy any default prior to the expiration of forty-five (45) days following its receipt of such notice from Landlord, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and throughout such period of grace, and the rights and remedies provided Landlord herein shall not be exercisable by Landlord after Tenant shall breach or be deemed to have breached this Lease unless said Leasehold Mortgagee shall have failed to rectify the same during or within the period of time allowed hereunder; it being understood, however, that a breach of this Lease which cannot be cured by the payment of money shall be deemed to have been rectified within the period of grace allowed said Leasehold Mortgagee if rectification thereof shall be commenced by said Leasehold Mortgagee in good faith before the end of such grace period, and such correction thereafter shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Leasehold Mortgagee exercises its right to enter into and upon the Premises (as provided herein), Leasehold Mortgagee agrees to forever fully protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all loss, costs, damages, escrow fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of every kind and nature, which it may expend or incur under or by reason or in consequence of, or as a result of such entry or temporary occupancy of the Premises.
16 |
(b) (b) All payments made and all actions taken by said Leasehold Mortgagee within the grace period allowed under this Section 13.2 shall be as effective to prevent a forfeiture of the rights of Tenant under this Lease as the same would have been if done and performed by Tenant instead of by said Leasehold Mortgagee. No Leasehold Mortgagee shall be considered or become liable to Landlord as an assignee of this Lease, or otherwise, until such time as said Leasehold Mortgagee shall by foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, or as a result of any other action or remedy provided for by such Leasehold Mortgage, acquire the rights, interest and estate of Tenant under this Lease. The right of any Leasehold Mortgagee who succeeds to title to the leasehold estate created hereunder to assign this Lease shall be subject to Tenant’s assignment rights as set forth in the Lease, and any such Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled to secure the financing of such assignment by a Leasehold Mortgage on the leasehold estate hereunder in the same manner as the Leasehold Mortgage created by Tenant. Upon an assignment of the leasehold estate hereunder by any Leasehold Mortgagee who succeeds to Tenant’s interest, such Leasehold Mortgagee shall automatically be relieved of all liability under this Lease, notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, provided such assignee shall assume all such liability from Leasehold Mortgagee.
13.2. Release. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary and so long as no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing, upon any assignment or subletting of all of the Premises by Tenant to an assignee or subtenant with a Tangible Net Worth (as defined below) at the time of such assignment or sublease not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease, Tenant shall be relieved of and released from all liabilities and obligations under this Lease arising from and after the date of such assignment or subletting. "Tangible Net Worth" means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP")[, excluding, however, from the determination of total assets all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP including goodwill, customer relations, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights and franchises].
ARTICLE 14
Landlord Transfer
14.1. Landlord Transfer. Landlord reserves the right to sell or otherwise assign its interest in this Lease or the Premises and the acquisition of title or of Landlord’s interest in this Lease by a subsequent owner shall not affect or impair this Lease. If Landlord conveys or transfers its interest in the Premises, upon such conveyance or transfer and so long as the transferee assumes Landlord’s obligations under this Lease to be performed from and after the date of such transfer, Landlord (and in the case of any subsequent conveyances or transfers, the then grantor or transferor) shall be released from all liability with respect to the performance of any obligations on the part of Landlord to be performed hereunder from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer (but not prior to such date). Upon notice of such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to the new owner as landlord.

If Tenant fails to remedy such violation prior to the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods, then in addition to Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease and at law or in equity, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses (including, but not limited to, loss or abatements of rents resulting from the exercise of abatement or termination rights by another tenant pursuant to its lease), damages, costs, and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and including any cost or legal expenses of Landlord in enforcing such encumbrances as and against Tenant and otherwise arising from or related to wholly or in part, the use of the Premises in violation of any such encumbrances.

18.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of Tenant hereunder, and provided that Landlord has not accepted a cure of such Event of Default, Landlord, at its option, may exercise any or all of the following remedies, which shall be in addition to the exercise of all rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity with respect to such Event of Default:
18.2.1. Terminate. Cancel and terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder and enter the Premises and take possession thereof in accordance with all applicable laws; or
18.2.2. Take Possession. Without terminating the Lease, re-enter and take possession of the Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom (such property as may be removed may be disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense) in accordance with all applicable laws. 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 or by this Lease, Landlord may either (i) cancel this Lease pursuant to the rights reserved elsewhere in this Lease, or (ii) from time to time, without canceling this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be reasonably necessary in order to relet the Premises, and relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and at such commercially reasonable rental or rentals and upon such other commercially reasonable terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable. Upon each such reletting all rentals received by Landlord from such reletting 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 commercially reasonable costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, third, to the payment of costs of any repairs reasonably necessary to relet the Premises, fourth, 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 or damage as such amounts may become due and payable hereunder during the entire term of the Lease. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than the rental required to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to cancel this Lease unless a notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the cancellation thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to cancel this Lease for such previous Event of Default.
18.3. Additional Provisions. In the event of termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or repossession of the Premises for an Event of Default, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages hereunder and to relet the Premises.

Landlord shall also have the right to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property to any person (“Claimant”) claiming to be entitled to possession thereof, without the necessity of making any investigation or inquiry as to the basis upon which Claimant purports to act.
21 |
18.4. Tenant Self-Help. If Landlord defaults under this Lease or neglects or refuses to make necessary repairs, replacements or maintenance required to be made by Landlord by the terms of this Lease, and Tenant, in a non-emergency situation, desires to cure such default, make such repairs or perform such maintenance, repairs or replacements on behalf of and for the account of Landlord, Tenant may take such action, including obtaining an estimate which shall include the estimated cost for the parts and labor required to have Tenant or Tenant’s agent make such maintenance, repairs or replacements. Tenant shall then forward a copy of such estimate to Landlord along with written notice of its election to make such repairs, replacements or maintenance. If Landlord fails to cure such default or make such repairs, replacements or maintenance within five (5) days after the date of Tenant’s written notice, Tenant may: (a) if the estimate is less than or equal to $10,000.00, make such repairs or perform such maintenance, and Landlord shall pay Tenant’s costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill therefor; or (b) if the estimate is more than $10,000.00, make such repairs or perform such maintenance upon expiration of an additional five (5) day period as provided in a second written notice to Landlord, and Landlord shall pay Tenant’s costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill therefor, but Landlord’s costs shall be capped at the amount included in the original written estimate. If Landlord fails to pay Tenant’s costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill therefor, then Tenant may deduct Tenant’s costs, plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate, from subsequent months’ payments of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not deduct more than fifty percent (50%) of the total payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due to Landlord each month. In the event of an emergency, Tenant shall only be required to give Landlord as much notice as is practical, and Landlord shall pay Tenant’s reasonable costs within 30 days after receipt of a bill therefor. Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for any loss or damage which may result to Landlord’s stock or business by reason of such repairs, replacements or maintenance, except for Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct, subject to Section 29.16.
ARTICLE 19
Subordination; Estoppels
19.1. Subordination. This Lease and the lien created and evidenced by any Leasehold Mortgage shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any existing mortgage and Landlord reserves the right to subject and subordinate this Lease and the lien created and evidenced by any Leasehold Mortgage to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages hereafter placed upon Landlord’s interest in the Premises. Upon the request of Landlord or the holder of any mortgage (the “Mortgagee”) now or hereafter encumbering the Premises, Tenant shall subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien of such mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Mortgagee elects to have this Lease superior to its mortgage, then upon Mortgagee’s request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument, in the form used by said Mortgagee, affecting such priority. In the event proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or the exercise of a power of sale under, any such mortgage, Tenant shall, upon request, attorn to the Buyer upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such Buyer as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant, upon Landlord’s request, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as are reasonably required to affect the intent of this Section.
19.2. Non-Disturbance Agreement from Present Encumbrance Holder. Tenant’s subordination as set forth in Section 19.1 above is hereby made subject to and contingent upon Landlord obtaining from the holders of all “Encumbrances” (as defined in this Article) now having an interest in the Premises superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form attached hereto at Exhibit D or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant providing for such subordination, and which provides that in the event of any foreclosure, sale under a power of sale, ground or master lease termination or transfer in lieu of any of the foregoing or the exercise of any other remedy pursuant to such Encumbrance, Tenant (and Tenant’s assignees and/or subtenants) shall not be joined as a party to any foreclosure or ground or master lease termination action, and that Tenant’s (and Tenant’s assignees and/or subtenants) use, possession and enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period.
22 |
19.3. Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from Future Encumbrance Holder. At Landlord’s option, this Lease and the lien created and evidenced by any Leasehold Mortgage shall become subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground or master lease, sale-leaseback transaction or other security instrument (individually or collectively called an “Encumbrance”) which shall hereafter be placed on the Premises and each renewal, modification, extension and restatement thereof. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, in such recordable form and substance as are reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and the holder of such Encumbrance, providing for such subordination, and which provides that in the event of any foreclosure, sale under a power of sale, ground or master lease termination or transfer in lieu of any of the foregoing or the exercise of any other remedy pursuant to such Encumbrance, Tenant (and Tenant’s assignees and/or subtenants) shall not be joined as a party to any foreclosure or ground or master lease termination action, and that Tenant’s (and Tenant’s assignees and/or subtenants) use, possession and enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period. Provided that such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement does not amend this Lease or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder and has been approved by Tenant, Tenant’s failure to execute failure to execute such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of same shall constitute a separate Event of Default for which no cure period applies.
19.4. Estoppel. Within twenty (20) days after the request of the other party at any time and from time to time, Landlord and Tenant each agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party a written instrument in form attached hereto as Exhibit C, duly executed, acknowledged: (a) certifying that this Lease has not been modified except as set forth in such certificate and is in full force and effect as modified; (b) specifying the dates to which the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other charges hereunder have been paid; (c) stating whether or not, to the knowledge of the party executing such instrument, the other party is in default and, if so, stating the nature of such default; (d) stating the Commencement Date; (e) stating which options to extend the Term have been exercised, if any, and how many unexercised extension options remain; and (f) affirming such other factually accurate matters pertaining to the provisions or subject matter of this Lease as may be reasonably required by the other party.

23.2. Restoration/Removal. Subject in all respects to Tenant’s rights under Section 23.4, in the event of any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises, but only to the extent the insurance proceeds (plus any deductibles payable by Tenant) on account of such damage or destruction shall be sufficient for the purpose, Tenant shall, at its expense, within ninety (90) days of such damage or destruction commence and complete (subject to Force Majeure), within two hundred seventy (270) days of the time of commencement, the restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the Tenant’s Building and/or the other improvements on Premises, as the case may be, as nearly as practicable to the same value, architectural condition and character as existed immediately prior to such damage, destruction or condemnation so as to permit resumption of the Premises for the Permitted Use to as nearly the same degree as possible (such restoration, replacement or rebuilding, together with any temporary repairs and property protection pending completion of the work, are herein collectively referred to as “Restoration”).
23.3. Insurance Proceeds. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof, all insurance proceeds received by Tenant on account of any damage to or destruction of the Premises or any part thereof shall be applied to pay for the cost of Restoration or “Removal” (as defined herein), as the case may be, and the balance shall belong to Tenant. To the extent any insurance proceeds shall be inadequate to pay such cost, it shall be Tenant’s sole cost and obligation to pay all excess costs of Restoration or Removal that Tenant elects to incur.
23.4. Tenant’s Right to Terminate and Not to Rebuild. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if the Premises are substantially damaged or destroyed such that Tenant would incur costs associated with the restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the Premises that exceeded 25% of the full replacement cost of thereof: (a) during the last 5 Lease Years of the Initial Term, or at any time during any Option Term, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord within 90 days of such damage or destruction, terminate this Lease, in which case, following Tenant’s completion of the Removal, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligation to the other under this Lease; or (b) at any time prior to the last five Lease Years, Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord given with 90 days of such damage, destruction or condemnation, elect not to perform any Restoration, in which case Tenant shall nevertheless complete the Removal, and thereafter Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of Minimum Rent and any Additional Rent until the end of the Term as fully and in the same manner as if this Lease were in full force and effect. Upon the giving of such notice under clause (a) or (b) above, Tenant shall promptly remove in a good, workmanlike and lien-free manner all damaged Leasehold Improvements (including the removal of Tenant’s Building in its entirety if necessary) and place the Premises in a safe, sightly condition and pave or seed and grass the Premises (such removal of Leasehold Improvements, placing of the Premises in a safe, sightly condition and paving or seeding and grassing being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Removal”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant elects to provide written notice to Landlord under clause (b) above, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant at any time, terminate this Lease, in which case, following Tenant’s completion of the Removal, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligation to the other under this Lease.

No receipt of money by Landlord after a Tenant default has been declared shall, without the consent of Landlord, in any way reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease.

ARTICLE 30
Right of Offer
30.1. Right of Offer.
(a) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prior to and as a condition precedent to the solicitation by Landlord or by any member or members of Landlord of any sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the Premises or all or any portion of the membership interest in the Landlord, respectively, during the Term (i) Landlord (the “Offeror”) shall deliver to Tenant a notice (constituting an offer) stating the sales price and all other material terms for the sale of the Premises or membership interest that the Landlord would accept (the “First Offer”), and (ii) Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the First Offer to accept the First Offer on its own behalf or on behalf of its designee. The Offeror shall not be permitted to revoke the First Offer during the 30-day period, but the 30 day period shall be deemed to be revoked during the 30-day period if Offeror and Tenant or its designee enter into a purchase agreement on terms different than those contained in the First Offer. The First Offer may be rejected by Tenant or its designee at any time, but shall be deemed to be rejected by Tenant or its designee (i) at the end of the 30-day period if prior to the end of the 30-day period Tenant or its designee has not accepted the First Offer and entered into a purchase agreement with the Landlord for the purchase and sale of the Premises or membership interest provided that such purchase agreement sets forth the price and terms as stated in the First Offer, or (ii) if, at any time during such 30-day period a Lease Event of Default Occurs. Tenant or its designee may reject or accept the First Offer in its sole discretion.
31 |
(b) If Tenant (or its designee) rejects the First Offer, or if an Event of Default occurs during such 30-day period, the Offeror may, subject to the terms hereof, offer the Premises or membership interest for sale to third parties at a price and on terms materially no more beneficial to the third party than those contained in the First Offer, provided, however, that if the Offeror desires to accept an offer from a third party (the “Offeree”) at a price that is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the price offered to Tenant, then the offer of such Offeree shall be deemed to be materially more beneficial to such third party and the Offeror is required to re-offer the Premises or membership interest to the Tenant. If the Offeror desires to accept an offer from any Offeree for a price that is ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the price offered to Tenant, and on such other terms materially no more beneficial to the third party than those contained in the First Offer, Offeror may enter into a bona fide agreement to sell or assign or otherwise transfer the Premises or membership interest to the Offeree, prior to the expiration of two hundred and seventy-five (275) days after such 30-day period. Absent the execution and delivery of such bona fide agreement to sell or assign or otherwise transfer within such 275-day period, the Offeror shall be required to repeat the procedure set forth in this Article 30 if it still wishes to sell the Premises.
(c) In the event that the Premises is owned in the future by an entity other than a limited liability company the right of First Offer shall be applicable to the owners of such entity.
30.2. Miscellaneous. Tenant’s failure to elect to purchase the Premises shall under no circumstances constitute a waiver on the part of Tenant to exercise its rights under this Article 30 with respect to any other sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, including as against any successor or assign (direct or indirect) of the Offeror.
30.3. Purchase Procedure. In the event of the purchase of Landlord’s interest in the Premises by Tenant pursuant to any provision of this Lease, the following terms and conditions shall apply.
(a) On the closing date fixed for such purchase:
(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in lawful money of the United States, at Landlord’s address hereinabove stated or at any other place in the United States which Landlord may designate, the applicable purchase price; and
(ii) Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant a deed with covenants against grantor’s acts, assignment and/or such other instrument or instruments as may be appropriate, which shall transfer Landlord’s interest in the Premises, subject to, (A) Liens permitted by this Lease, (B) all liens, encumbrances, charges, exceptions and restrictions attaching to the Premises after the Closing Date which shall not have been created or caused by Landlord (unless consented to by Tenant), and (C) all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and governmental restrictions then in effect; and
(b) Landlord shall pay all closing costs, charges and expenses incident to such transfer, including (i) an owner's title insurance policy (in the full amount of the purchase price) and all related search and abstract fees, if any; boundary survey; documentary deed stamps; Landlord’s attorneys' fees; satisfaction of any mortgages on the Premises; and the cost of any curative title documents (including but not limited to the recording costs associated with such curative title documents).
32 |
(c) Tenant shall pay the recording fees on the deed and Tenant’s attorneys' fees.

FORM OF SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SUBORDINATION NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”), made and entered into as of the _____ day of ___________, 200__, by and among ___________________________________________, a _________________, whose address is _______________________________________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Lender”), _____________________________________________, a _______________, whose address is _________________________________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Tenant”), and ________________, a _____________, whose address is ___________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord”);
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Lender is the holder of a mortgage loan (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan”) to Landlord, which Loan is secured by, inter alia, a [[ Commercial Mortgage/Deed of Trust ]] and Security Agreement executed by Landlord in favor of Lender (hereinafter referred to as the “Mortgage”), encumbering Landlord’s property located at _______________________________, in ___________ County, ________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Mortgaged Premises”); and
WHEREAS, Landlord has leased all or some portion of the Mortgaged Premises (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”) to Tenant by Lease Agreement dated as of ______________________, 20___, as amended by __________________________ dated __________________, 20___ (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Lease”); and
WHEREAS, Lender, in connection with the Loan, requires that the Lease and all of the rights of Tenant thereunder be subordinated to the Mortgage and all of the rights of Lender thereunder, subject to the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Tenant desires to receive certain assurances that its possession of the Premises will not be disturbed in the event of default and/or foreclosure under the Mortgage, and Lender is willing to grant certain assurances upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lease and all of the rights of Tenant thereunder shall be and are hereby declared to be and at all times hereafter shall be and remain subject and subordinate in all respects to the Mortgage and all of the rights of Lender thereunder. Notwithstanding such subordination, Lender hereby agrees that, so long as no Default by Tenant then exists under the Lease: (a) the Lease and the leasehold estate thereby created will not be extinguished or terminated and the rights thereunder of Tenant will not be disturbed, affected, or impaired by the foreclosure of such Mortgage, delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of such Mortgage, or the exercise of other rights and remedies that the Mortgage provides; (b) Tenant shall not be named or joined as a party defendant or otherwise in any proceeding for the foreclosure of such Mortgage or to enforce any rights under the Mortgage; (c) all condemnation awards and payments and all proceeds of insurance paid or payable with respect to the Premises shall be applied and used in the manner set forth in the Lease; and (d) neither the Mortgage nor any other security instrument executed in connection therewith shall be construed as subjecting in any manner to the lien thereof any trade fixtures, business equipment, signs or other personal property at any time supplied or installed by Tenant in or on the Premises, regardless of the manner or mode of attachment thereof to the Premises but specifically excluding the plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling and ventilation systems which are the property of the Landlord. In the event that Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease and/or title to the Premises, Tenant agrees to attorn to and to recognize Lender (as mortgagee in possession or otherwise), or the Buyer at any foreclosure sale, as Tenant’s landlord for the balance of the term of the Lease, in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, but subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of this Agreement. Accordingly, from and after such event, Lender and Tenant shall have the same remedies against one another for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease as Tenant and Landlord had before Lender (or such other Buyer) succeeded to the interest of Landlord thereunder.
6 |
2. Lender hereby agrees with Tenant that, so long as Tenant and/or its permitted successors and assigns comply with all of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and obligations set forth in the Lease, Tenant’s possession of the Premises under the Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Lender.
3. Tenant hereby agrees that Lender, or any Buyer at a foreclosure sale, shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of Landlord under the Lease, (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have at any time hereafter against Landlord, (c) bound by any rent which Tenant may have paid to Landlord for more than the current month, and (d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Lender’s prior written consent.
4. Tenant hereby agrees that, concurrently with Tenant’s sending to Landlord any written notice of default by Landlord required under the terms of the Lease, it shall send a copy of such notice to Lender at the address set forth above, by certified mail, return receipt requested. Tenant further agrees that with respect to any default of Landlord which would entitle Tenant to cancel the Lease or offset or abate the rent payable thereunder, any provision of the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, no such cancellation or offset or abatement of rent shall be effective unless Lender shall have received notice in the form and manner required by the provisions of this Paragraph and shall have failed, within the cure period during which Landlord may cure such default, if any, as set forth in the Lease, to cure such default or cause such default to be cured.
5. Lender acknowledges that this Agreement has been requested by [Landlord] [Tenant in connection with a loan by Tenant’s lender to Tenant which is secured, inter alia, by a leasehold mortgage or similar interest on Tenant’s interest in the Premises and as Tenant under the Lease, and that Tenant’s lender is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement.]
6. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto, or their respective successors in interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their successors and assigns.
7. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State where the Premises are located.
7 |
8. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one Agreement.

All persons who furnish work, service or materials for improvements to the Premises at the request of Tenant or any person claiming under, by or through Tenant, must look to the interest of Tenant and not to that of Landlord, as provided in Florida Statutes §713.10. In accordance with applicable laws of the State of Florida, Landlord may file in the public records of Duval County, Florida, a public notice containing a true and correct excerpt of this provision, and Tenant hereby agrees to inform all contractors and material suppliers performing work in or for or supplying materials for improvements to the Premises of the existence of this notice.”
