If (a) Tenant gives the notice of a Temporary Closing and the Premises has still not reopened by the date which is Three Hundred (300) days from the Closure Notice provided that Tenant shall be granted two (2) thirty (30) day extensions so long as Tenant (or a assignee or subtenant to whom the Premises may have been assigned or sublet) has commenced the renovation or remodeling of the Premises and is diligently pursuing the same to completion (the “Reopening Period”), (b) Tenant gives notice of a Permanent Closing, or (c) Tenant fails to give the Closure Notice, in any such event, Landlord shall have the right (the “Recapture Right”) to terminate Tenant’s interest in the Lease in accordance with the provisions set out below.

Following the Recapture Date neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further liability under this Lease, except for (i) obligations which accrued prior to the Recapture Date and (ii) Tenant’s obligation to repair any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of its property as provided for above. If Landlord fails to exercise the Recapture Right as set forth herein, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord shall have no further rights under this Section 4.5, as to such Closure.

In the event Landlord has not elected to recapture the Premises as set forth herein, and if the Premises have not reopened and no assignment or sublease has occurred on or before the date which is three hundred sixty (360) days from the expiration of such 30-day period, Landlord shall again have a Recapture Right to be exercised by giving an Exercise Notice within the thirty (30) day period following the 360-day period. Thereafter, so long as the Premises have not reopened and no assignment or sublease has occurred, Landlord shall have a Recapture Right after each successive 360-day period to be exercised by giving an Exercise Notice within the thirty (30) days period following each 360-day period. Notwithstanding Landlord’s right to exercise its Recapture Right every 360 days as provided for above, if Landlord provides the Exercise Notice, Tenant shall have the right to nullify the Exercise Note by providing to Landlord evidence that Tenant is in active negotiations to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises (which may be evidenced either by ongoing negotiations or a signed Letter of Intent), in which event the Exercise Notice shall be rendered void and of no effect. Once this Lease is assigned or the Premises subleased to a third party, Landlord shall have the Recapture Right if the assignee or subleasee does not open for business within three hundred sixty (360) days from the effective date of the assignment or sublease, to be exercised by giving an Exercise Notice within the thirty (30) day period following the 360-day period; provided that the foregoing three hundred sixty day period shall be extended by periods that would constitute a Permitted Closure under Section 4.5C.

C.    Permitted Closures. For purposes of this Section, the following shall be “Permitted Closures” and shall not constitute a “Closure” or be counted toward the Reopening Period: (i) any period during which the normal operation of business at the Premises is not practical as a result of damage by fire or other casualty; (ii) any period during which the normal operation of business at the Premises is not practical as a result of a taking by eminent domain or other governmental action; (iii) reasonable periods for remodeling, alterations and repairs, including related permitting time; and (iv) any period during which Landlord is not in compliance with its obligations under this Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure period.

7.1    TENANT’S INSURANCE. Tenant shall, during the Term of this Lease, maintain insurance coverage in accordance with this Section.

A.    Tenant’s Liability Insurance. Tenant will keep in force, throughout the Term of this Lease, commercial general liability insurance (or substantially equivalent liability insurance or another type of comprehensive liability insurance policy then in common use) with respect to the Premises and the business operated by Tenant at the Premises.

Tenant’s property insurance will be in at least an amount as is required to avoid the application of any co-insurance provision that its property insurance may be subject to. Tenant’s property insurance policies will show Landlord as a loss payee, as its interest may appear.

C.     Tenant’s Employers’ Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, throughout the Term of this Lease, maintain such workers compensation or employer’s liability insurance as may be required by applicable Laws.

E.    Certificates of Insurance. Tenant will furnish Landlord with certificates of the insurance Tenant is required to carry within ten (10) days after a written request by Landlord.

F.     Deductibles and Self-Insurance.

7.2    TENANT INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from and against any and all suits, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Claims and Damages”) arising out of (i) any loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property occurring within the Premises or resulting from the wrongful or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant, its officers, contractors, agents or employees (acting within the scope of their office, contract, agency or employment), (ii) Tenant’s breach of any representation or warranty of Tenant under Article XIII, or (iii) Tenant’s failure to maintain the Premises in accordance with applicable Laws to the extent within its obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE VIII ‑ ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

8.1    ASSIGNMENT.

A.    Consent of Landlord. Except as specifically provided in this Article, Tenant may not assign this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease by


 

11




operation of law, regardless of whether the same is characterized as voluntary or involuntary, shall be construed as an “assignment” governed by this Article. Landlord’s consent to any one assignment shall not act as a waiver of the requirements of Landlord’s consent with respect to any subsequent assignment.

B.    Assumption of Lease. In connection with any assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall be entitled to all the rights and shall assume all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease pursuant to an assumption agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

D.    Assignment Prior to a Closure. In the event that Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease to an unaffiliated third party (excluding any entity described in Section 8.3 below) and, at the time the consent is requested, Tenant is still operating within the Premises (or, if closed, and Tenant has not provided Landlord with a Closure Notice pursuant to Section 4.5), Landlord may require, by notice to Tenant given within twenty (20) days of receipt of Tenant’s request (the “Closure Notice Request”), that Tenant deliver a Closure Notice pursuant to Section 4.5. If Landlord delivers a Closure Notice Request, Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof, either (a) withdraw its request for an assignment or (b) deliver a Closure Notice pursuant to Section 4.5. If Tenant delivers the Closure Notice, Landlord shall have the right to exercise the Recapture Right for the period and otherwise in accordance with the terms provided for in Section 4.5.

A.    Consent of Landlord. Except as specifically provided in this Article, Tenant may not sublet all or any portion of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any subletting will be subject to all the terms of this Lease and no subletting will release Tenant from the primary responsibility for the performance of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any one subletting shall not act as a waiver of the requirements of Landlord’s consent with respect to any subsequent subletting.

B.    Consent Criteria. Landlord shall not withhold its consent to an proposed assignment by Tenant so long as the proposed assignee (i) agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease; (ii) intends a use of the Premises which is within the Permitted Use; and (iii) demonstrates, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, prior experience in operating the Permitted Use.

C.    Sublease Rent. All rent and other consideration payable under any sublease shall be solely the property of Tenant.

8.3    PROCEDURE FOR ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises to a third party that requires Landlord’s consent under this Lease, Tenant shall provide notice of the proposed assignment or subletting to Landlord (the “Request Notice”). The Request Notice shall include the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant and information based upon which Landlord can evaluate the proposed assignee or subtenant under the applicable consent criteria set out in this Article. Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) days from receipt of the Request Notice to request such additional reasonable information as may be reasonably required to evaluate the proposed assignee or subtenant under the applicable consent criteria set out in this Article (the “Information Request”). Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) days following the later of (i) the Request Notice, and (ii) its receipt of the additional information, if any, requested in a timely Information Request, to consent or deny (which denial shall include Landlord’s basis for such denial) the proposed assignment or subletting.

8.4
TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST. Landlord shall be entitled to sell or otherwise
transfer the Project or portions of the Project without the consent of Tenant. Landlord shall not transfer only a portion of the Project, unless the portion transferred remains subject to the terms, covenants, conditions and restrictions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s Appurtenant Use Rights and the Use Restrictions by a recorded document, subject to no superior liens or interests which could result in its termination, which is directly enforceable by Tenant and which is otherwise in a form acceptable to Tenant.

8.5
RELEASE UPON TRANSFER.

A.    Transfer by Landlord. The term “Landlord” shall mean the owner, for the time being, of the Premises, and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises and the assumption of Landlord’s obligations hereunder by the transferee, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such transferring Landlord shall thereupon automatically be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of the Landlord thereafter accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the transfer, but shall not be released from any liability that has accrued prior to the date of the transfer.

B.    Transfer by Tenant. The term “Tenant” shall mean the holder, for the time being, of the leasehold interest created by this Lease, and in the event of the assignment of this Lease permitted by this Article VIII and the assumption of Tenant’s obligations hereunder by the assignee, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such transferring Tenant shall thereupon automatically be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of the Tenant thereafter accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the transfer, but shall not be released from any liability that has accrued prior to the date of the transfer.

ARTICLE IX – DEFAULT

9.1    DEFAULT OF TENANT. Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease (a “Tenant Default”) upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) Tenant’s failure to pay Rent or any other sums due to Landlord under this Lease when due, if the failure continues for more than ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure; (ii) Tenant’s failure to perform any material covenant, promise or obligation contained in this Lease, if the failure continues for more than thirty (30) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure, provided that if the failure cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period, the thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional time as is needed to cure the failure using due diligence and all commercially reasonable measures; or (iii) Tenant’s voluntary petition for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, the sale of Tenant’s interest under this Lease to satisfy a debt of Tenant by execution or other legal process, or the filing against Tenant of an involuntarily petition for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law which is not discharged within ninety (90) days after filing.

9.2    LANDLORD’S REMEDIES. Upon a Tenant Default Landlord may exercise the rights and remedies set out below.

A.    Termination of Possession. Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession under this Lease and reenter and retake possession of the Premises. Following the taking of possession, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises on behalf of Tenant, at such rental and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may, in the exercise of Landlord’s commercially reasonable discretion, deem best under the circumstances. Taking possession of the Premises by Landlord, as provided for in this Section, shall not be deemed a termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and Tenant shall continue to make the Rent payments as they become due under the Lease. Following any re-letting of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on a monthly basis the sum equal to: (i) the Rent payable under this Lease for such month, plus the monthly amortization (over the term of the re-letting) of the cost of any brokerage commissions for the re-letting and the cost of any reasonable alterations made to accommodate the new tenant, less (ii) the rent received from the new tenant; provided that if the new tenant receives a rent abatement or substantially lower rent at the beginning of the re-letting, the rent for the re-letting shall be averaged over the term of the re-letting for purposes of the foregoing





13




calculation. Tenant shall not be entitled to any of the excess of the rent from the re-letting over the Rent payable under this Lease, except as a credit against the sums due to Landlord.

B.    Termination of Lease. Landlord may declare this Lease to be terminated, and reenter upon and take possession of the Premises by any lawful means, whereupon the term hereby granted and all right, title, and interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate. Following the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall have no further liability under this Lease, except that Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as final and liquidated damages, the sum obtained by adding together all of the following: (i) all Rent which is accrued but unpaid under this Lease through the date of termination; (ii) the reasonable cost of making any repairs to the Premises needed on the date of termination, which were Tenant’s responsibility to make under this Lease, but which Tenant failed to make; (iii) attorneys’ fees and costs recoverable under Section 16.12; (iv) any unamortized (determined over the Initial Term) portion of any brokerage commission paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease; and (v) the present value (discounted using an annual rate equal to the annual yield on the United States Treasury Issue with a maturity date most closely matching the expiration date of the then Term of this Lease) at the time of termination, of the difference between the Base Rent for the then remaining Term of this Lease (the “Lease Base Rent”) and the fair market base rental value (assuming an Operating Expense and Real Estate Tax reimbursement equivalent to that provided for in this Lease) of the Premises for the then remaining Term of this Lease (the “Fair Market Base Rent”). The Fair Market Base Rent shall assume that the Premises is leased in its “as is” condition, as of the termination date, but after the repairs provided for in item (ii) above.

C.    Remedies Cumulative and Non-Exclusive. The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in this Section 9.2 and elsewhere in this Lease are cumulative and not exclusive and, except to the extent inconsistent with the express provisions of this Lease, are in addition to any remedies that Landlord may have under applicable law or in equity, including the right to injunctive relief, except that under no circumstances shall Landlord be entitled to accelerate payment of any Rent due hereunder except as set forth in Sub-Section B above.

9.3    DEFAULT OF LANDLORD. Landlord shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease (a “Landlord Default”) upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) Landlord’s failure to pay any sums due to Tenant under this Lease when due, if the failure continues for more than ten (10) days following written notice from Tenant to Landlord of such failure; (ii) Landlord’s failure to perform any covenant, promise or obligation contained in this Lease if the failure continues for more than thirty (30) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure, provided that if the failure cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period and the failure does not prevent Tenant’s ordinary business operations at the Premises or cause the Premises not to be in compliance with applicable Laws and is not a violation of Section 1.4, the thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional time as is needed to cure the failure using due diligence and all commercially reasonable measures; or (iii) Landlord’s voluntary petition for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, the sale of Landlord’s interest under this Lease to satisfy a debt of Landlord by execution or other legal process, or the filing against Landlord of an involuntary petition for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law which is not discharged within ninety (90) days after filing.

9.4    TENANT’S REMEDIES.

A.    General Remedies. Upon a Landlord Default, in addition to the remedies set out below, Tenant may exercise all the rights and remedies provided to Tenant under applicable law or in equity, including the right to injunctive relief.

B.    Offset Against Rent. If the Landlord Default is the result of the failure to pay any sum due to Tenant from Landlord under or in connection with this Lease, Tenant may offset the sum due from the Rent due under this Lease; provided that prior to offsetting any amount against Rent under this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord (the “Offset Notice”), which shall include the amount of the offset claimed and the basis for the offset claimed. Landlord shall have the right to dispute, in accordance with this Section, any offset claimed by Tenant, except for an offset of a monetary judgment or an offset otherwise pursuant to a court order or an arbitration award. To contest an offset Landlord must, within ten (10) days of the Offset Notice, provide notice to Tenant that Landlord disputes all or a portion of the offset (the “Offset Dispute Notice”). Landlord may only give the Offset Dispute Notice if Landlord, in good faith, believes that Tenant is not entitled to all or any part of the offset claimed in the Offset Notice. Any Offset Dispute Notice shall outline the specific items of the offset objected




14




to by Landlord (the “Disputed Charges”) and the specific reasons for the objection. To be effective, the Offset Dispute Notice must be accompanied by Landlord’s payment of the portion of the offset not disputed or include an authorization for Tenant to offset against Rent the portion of the offset not disputed. As to the Disputed Charges, the parties shall, within the thirty (30) day period following the Offset Dispute Notice, attempt to reach agreement upon the amount owed. During the dispute resolution period, including any arbitration, Tenant shall, subject to the other terms of this Lease, continue to pay the Rent otherwise due under this Lease. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within the thirty (30) day period, the matter shall be settled by binding arbitration by an arbitrator agreed upon by the parties or, if the parties are unable to agree, by a neutral (i.e. having no prior association with either party) arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association or local arbitration association. Any arbitrator shall be a licensed attorney with substantial experience in commercial leases. Landlord and Tenant agree to use diligent good faith efforts to have the arbitrator appointed within sixty (60) days following the Offset Dispute Notice and to complete the arbitration within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Offset Dispute Notice. All costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, but not attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by the non-prevailing party (as determined by the arbitrator). If the arbitrator does not make a determination that one party, or the other, is a “non-prevailing party”, then the costs of the arbitration shall be paid half by Tenant and half by Landlord. The amount finally agreed upon or found to be due Tenant by arbitration, together with any Late Fee and interest as provided for by Section 9.6, shall be paid within ten (10) business days of such agreement or finding, failing which Tenant may thereafter begin to offset all Rent due under this Lease until the entire amount due has been recovered.

C.    Payment of Rent into Escrow. During the period (i) of any Landlord Default or (ii) following notice from Tenant of a failure of Landlord to comply with this Lease (even if not yet a Landlord Default) until the cure of the failure, if such failure is having any material adverse impact on Tenant’s business at the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent due under this Lease into escrow (the “Default Escrow”) with a national title insurance company (the “Escrow Holder”). The Default Escrow will be a “joint order” escrow with disbursements requiring the consent of both Landlord and Tenant or a Court order or arbitration award. Tenant shall be deemed to have a lien against the sums in the Default Escrow to secure any claim for damages arising out of a Landlord Default and shall be entitled to apply the funds in the Default Escrow against any judgment or arbitration award obtained by Tenant. The payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent into the Default Escrow shall be the equivalent of the payment of the Base Rent or Additional Rent to the Landlord for purposes of crediting Tenant with the payment under the Lease.

D.    Monetary Judgment. Tenant shall have the right to offset the amount of any final judgment or arbitration award obtained against Landlord against all the Base Rent and Additional Rent due under this Lease until the full amount of such judgment or award has been satisfied.

E.    Remedies Cumulative and Non-Exclusive. The rights and remedies of Tenant set forth in this Section 9.4 and elsewhere in this Lease are cumulative and not exclusive and, except to the extent inconsistent with the express provisions of this Lease, are in addition to any remedies that Landlord may have under applicable law or in equity, including the right to injunctive relief.

9.5    SELF HELP.

A.    Landlord’s Self Help Right. If (i) Tenant is in breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease and the breach is, in any material respect, as reasonably determined by Landlord; (ii) Landlord has served upon Tenant written notice of the breach; and (iii) Tenant has failed to promptly commence or once commenced has failed to diligently pursue to completion, using all commercially reasonable efforts, the cure of the breach, Landlord may, following written notice to Tenant, itself take such action as Landlord deems reasonably necessary to cure or mitigate the impact of the breach. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonably documented costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith (“Landlord Cure Costs”), within thirty (30) days of a demand from Landlord accompanied by reasonable documentation of the Landlord Cure Costs. Landlord’s exercise of its remedy under this Sub-Section does not require that the failure constitute a Tenant Default, but may only be exercised by Landlord if Tenant is not pursuing the cure of the breach in the manner required by item (iii) above following the notice required by item (ii) above.







15





B.    Tenant Self Help Right. If (i) Landlord is in breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease and the breach is, in any material respect, adversely impacting Tenant’s business, business operations, as reasonably determined by Tenant; (ii) Tenant has served upon Landlord written notice of the breach; and (iii) Landlord has failed to promptly commence or once commenced has failed to diligently pursue to completion, using all commercially reasonable efforts, the cure of the breach, Tenant may, following written notice to Landlord, itself take such action as Tenant deems reasonably necessary to cure or mitigate the impact of the breach. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonably documented costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection therewith (“Tenant Cure Costs”), within thirty (30) days of a demand from Tenant accompanied by reasonable documentation of the Tenant Cure Costs. Tenant’s exercise of its remedy under this Sub-Section does not require that the failure constitute a Landlord Default, but may only be exercised by Tenant if Landlord is not pursuing the cure of the breach in the manner required by item (iii) above following the notice required by item (ii) above.

9.6    LATE FEES AND INTEREST.

A.    Late Fees and Administrative Fees. If any sum due to Landlord or Tenant from the other is not paid within ten (10) days after its due date, a late fee (the “Late Fee”) equal to two and one-half percent (2½%) of the late amount will be added to the amount due. In addition to any Late Fee due, an administrative fee (the “Administrative Fee”) of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) shall be due from any party which gives to the other a check for the payment of sums due under this Lease which is returned for insufficient funds.

B.    Interest. Interest, at the Default Rate (defined below), shall accrue on any amount due and owing from either Landlord or Tenant to the other under this Lease, that is not paid within ten (10) days after notice from the party entitled to payment to the other that the amount is past due (which notice may be a default notice provided under this Lease). Following such ten (10) day period, interest, at the “Default Rate”, shall accrue, beginning retroactively as of the due date, on any amount remaining unpaid until paid. The Default Rate is an annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by law, or (b) the Prime Rate of interest (or the average thereof, if more than one) as published in the Money Rates section (or successor section) of the Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was due (or, if not a business day, the prior business day) plus five percent (5%). The same rights and remedies shall apply to the collection of any interest which accrues under this Section as apply to the collection of underlying amount due.

9.7    DELAY IN ENFORCEMENT. Any delay in the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease following a default by the other, for whatever reason, shall not be deemed a waiver of, or otherwise prevent the later exercise of rights and remedies under this Lease at any time while the default is continuing, except to the extent such default was specifically waived in writing.

9.8    LIMITATIONS ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Premises and the rents, profits and insurance, condemnation and other proceeds from the Premises for the satisfaction of any monetary judgment (or any other monetary obligation of Landlord to Tenant) and no other property or assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution, or other judicial procedures for satisfaction of such monetary obligations. The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply to claims by Tenant resulting from (i) Landlord’s failure to carry the insurance required under this Lease; (ii) Landlord’s misappropriation or misapplication of insurance or condemnation proceeds; or (iii) Landlord’s fraud or willful breach of this Lease. This Section is not intended to in any way limit Tenant’s right to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief.

ARTICLE X ‑ ACCESS BY LANDLORD

10.1    RIGHT TO ENTER. Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises upon reasonable notice to Tenant (except to the extent required by emergency circumstances) and during Tenant’s non-business hours, accompanied by Tenant’s representative, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers of the Project and to make such reasonable repairs to the Premises as Landlord may deem necessary and which are Landlord’s responsibility (or Landlord is entitled to perform) under this Lease. During the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the expiration of the Term, Landlord may show the Premises to prospective tenants during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice to Tenant and accompanied by Tenant’s representative.





16




10.2    CONDITIONS OF ENTRY. Any entry by Landlord within the Premises shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) Landlord’s entry (and any work within the Premises) shall be performed (except to the extent required by emergency circumstances) during Tenant’s non-business hours, excluding the hour before opening and after closing; (ii) Landlord’s entry (and any work within the Premises) shall be performed (except to the extent required by emergency circumstances) in a manner so as to minimize any adverse impact on Tenant’s business operations; (iii) Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by its entry or work to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction; (iv) Landlord shall (except to the extent required by emergency circumstances) complete any work in the Premises and have the area restored to its prior condition, to the extent possible, at least one hour prior to Tenant beginning business operations for the day; (v) any installation within the Premises shall be subject to Tenant’s approval, which may be withheld for (without limitation) aesthetic or operational concerns; (vi) Landlord shall otherwise conduct any entry and perform any work in a manner to minimize any adverse impact to Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises; and (vii) to the extent Tenant is unable to conduct normal business operations as a result of any such entry, Tenant shall be entitled to a day for day abatement of all Rent due under this Lease.

ARTICLE XI – CONDEMNATION

11.1    CONDEMNATION.

A.    Total Taking. If during the Term of this Lease, the whole of the Premises is taken or condemned, this Lease shall terminate on the date of such taking or condemnation and Landlord and Tenant shall be released from liability accruing after the date of termination. As used in this Article, a taking or condemnation includes a deed given or transfer made in lieu thereof.

B.    Partial Taking / Termination by Tenant. If a portion of the Premises is condemned or taken in any manner or degree that, in any material respect, adversely impacts Tenant’s business or business operations (as determined by Tenant in its sole business judgment, not, however, to be arbitrarily exercised), then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of the vesting of title in the condemning authority, by written notice to Landlord given within sixty (60) days of the condemnation or taking.

C.    Partial Taking / Termination by Landlord. If (i) more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the land area of the Premises is condemned or taken, rendering the Premises no longer viable (in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment); and (ii) as a result of such condemnation, Landlord intends to raze the Premises and replace it with a development that would not accommodate a replacement for the Premises, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of the vesting of title in the condemning authority, by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days of the condemnation or taking.

11.2    AWARD. Landlord shall be entitled to that portion of the condemnation award attributable to Landlord’s fee interest. Tenant shall be entitled to that portion of the condemnation award attributable to Tenant’s leasehold interest, Tenant’s Improvements to the Premises, all business damages, and relocation costs. Landlord and Tenant shall fully cooperate with each other to accomplish the division provided for in the preceding sentence. Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith efforts to obtain separate awards from the condemning authority (or a judicial allocation of a single award) for their respective interests, consistent with this Section.

11.3    RESTORATION. If there is a condemnation or taking and neither Tenant nor Landlord elects to (or neither is entitled to) terminate this Lease, then Tenant shall commence restoring the Premises and Improvements to the same condition as existed prior to such taking as soon as reasonably possible using due diligence and commercially reasonable efforts. Landlord shall make available to Tenant any portion of the award applicable to the Improvements located on the Premises. During the time period of such restoration work, Tenant shall receive an equitable reduction in Base Rent and Additional Rent until the restoration is completed, unless Tenant is unable, as determined in its reasonable discretion, to continue operating its business in the Premises, in which event all Base Rent and Additional Rent shall abate until Tenant reopens for business.








17





ARTICLE XII - DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES

12.1    TERMINATION.

A.    Termination by Tenant. If the Premises is totally or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (i) in the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term, to an extent that the Premises is required to be closed for more than seven (7) days, or (ii) in the last thirty-six (36) months of the Term, to an extent that the cost of Tenant’s restoration work exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total original cost of Tenant’s Improvements within the Premises (as reasonably documented to Landlord by Tenant), then Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease upon written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after such casualty, in which event Rent and all other obligations herein shall cease as of the date of such casualty, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations or rights hereunder, except for liability for events occurring prior to the termination of this Lease.

B.    Termination by Landlord - Last Twelve Months. If, during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, the Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty to an extent that Tenant’s business operations cease, for more than sixty (60) days, then Landlord shall have the option of terminating this Lease upon written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after such casualty and prior to Tenant reopening for business in the Premises, in which event Rent and all other obligations herein shall cease as of the date of such casualty, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations or rights hereunder, except for liability for events occurring prior to the termination of this Lease; provided, however, that if Tenant has an unexercised Renewal Option remaining, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s termination notice, exercise the Renewal Option and render Landlord’s termination null and void, and, in that event, this Lease shall continue as if Landlord had not elected to terminate as a result of the casualty.

12.2    RESTORATION. If there is a fire or other casualty and neither Tenant nor Landlord elects to (or neither is entitled to) terminate this Lease, then Tenant shall commence restoring the Premises to the same condition as existed prior to such casualty as soon as reasonably possible using due diligence and commercially reasonable efforts. During the time period of such restoration work Tenant shall receive an equitable reduction in Base Rent and Additional Rent until the restoration is completed, unless Tenant is unable, as determined in its reasonable discretion, to continue operating its business in the Premises, in which event all Base Rent and Additional Rent shall abate until Tenant reopens for business.

ARTICLE XIV - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND SUBORDINATION

14.1    ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. At any time and from time to time either party, upon request of the other party, will execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument, stating, if the same be true, that this Lease is a true and exact copy of the Lease between the parties hereto, that there are no amendments hereto (or stating what amendments there may be), that the same is then in full force and effect and that, to the best of its knowledge, there are no offsets, defenses or counterclaims with respect to the payment of Rent hereunder or in the performance of the other terms, covenants and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, to be performed, and that as of such date no default has been declared hereunder by either party or if so, specifying the same. Such instrument will be executed by the other party and delivered to the requesting party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a request.

14.2    TENANT SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT FOR FUTURE MORTGAGES.

Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be used, stored, generated, or disposed of on, in or about the Premises (except those commonly or properly used in connection with the operation of a restaurant and which are used in accordance with all applicable governmental laws and regulations), without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent. If the Premises become contaminated in any manner as a result of any breach of the foregoing covenant or any act or omission of Tenant or any of its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs (including attorneys’, consultants’, and experts’ fees), liabilities, losses and expenses arising during or after the term of this Lease and arising as a result of such contamination. This indemnification includes any and all costs incurred due to any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, or restoration mandated by a federal, state, or local agency or political subdivision. Without limitation of the foregoing, if Tenant causes or permits the presence of any Hazardous Substance on, in, or about the Premises that results in contamination, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall complete all required clean up, removal and remediation. Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s approval for any such remedial action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnification shall only apply to contamination by a Hazardous Substance resulting from Tenant’s use and operation of the Premises.

16.2    WAIVER. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach or default of any term, covenant or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or any other term, covenant or condition, nor shall the acceptance or payment of Rent or other payment be deemed to be a waiver of any such breach or default. No term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant, unless such waiver is in writing.

16.3    CAPTIONS AND SECTION NUMBERS. The captions and section numbers appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of such sections.

16.5    AMENDMENTS. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant until reduced to writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

16.6    INTERPRETATION. The words “Tenant” and “Landlord” shall mean each party mentioned as Tenant or Landlord herein, whether one or more, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns. If there is more than one party, any notice required or permitted may be given to any one thereof, and such notice to one shall be deemed notice to all, unless multiple notices are required by Section 16.1. The use of the singular pronoun to refer to Tenant or Landlord shall be deemed proper regardless of the number of parties. When the word “including” (or some derivation thereof, such as “includes”) is used in this Lease to refer to something that, in that context, may be part of a larger group of similar items, the reference is without limitation, and it should be interpreted as if followed by “but not limited to”, “without limitation”, or appropriate equivalent language for the context.

16.7    NO PARTNERSHIP. Landlord and Tenant shall have no business relationship as a result of this Lease other than Landlord and Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as creating any other business relationship between Landlord and Tenant, including the relationships of partners or parties to a joint venture.

16.8    CONFIDENTIALITY. Landlord agrees not to disclose the provisions of or provide a copy of this Lease to any third party, except in the ordinary course of business to agents, attorneys, accountants and employees who need to know of its content in the performance of their services to Landlord, to prospective purchasers and lenders for the Project and in connection with any dispute with Tenant.

16.9    PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such term, covenant, or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it was held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term, covenant, or condition of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16.10    APPLICABLE LAW. This Lease shall be construed according to the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.

16.11    RECORDING. Within fifteen (15) days written request by Landlord or Tenant to the other, the other party shall execute a Memorandum of this Lease in a form reasonable approved by Landlord and Tenant, to be recorded by Landlord or Tenant in the public records at the recording party’s expense.

16.12    COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT. In the event that Landlord or Tenant shall bring an action to recover any sum due hereunder or for any breach hereunder and shall obtain a judgment in its favor, or in the event that Landlord or Tenant retains an attorney for the purpose of collecting any sum due hereunder or construing or enforcing any of the terms or conditions hereof or protecting their interest in any bankruptcy, receivership, or insolvency proceeding or otherwise against the other, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ and legal assistants’ fees prior to trial, at trial, and on appeal and for post-judgment proceedings.

16.13    SUCCESSORS. The covenants and restriction of this Lease are covenants and restrictions running with the land. The provisions of this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of Landlord and Tenant.

16.14    FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance required hereunder by reason of fire or other casualty, strikes, lockouts, labor troubles or shortages, material shortages, any moratorium or other governmental or court imposed restrictions, riots, criminal acts, food borne illness, insurrection, war, adverse and unusual weather conditions, vandalism, defective materials or work by third party contractors, jobsite accidents, the breach of the other party of its obligations under this Lease, or other reason of like nature beyond the reasonable control of the party delayed in such performance




21





(each a “Force Majeure Event”), then (a) the period for performance shall be extended by the period of time equivalent to the delay caused by such Force Majeure Event or (b) performance shall be excused during the period of non-performance caused by such Force Majeure Event, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any extension of time for a Force Majeure Event shall be conditioned upon the party seeking an extension of time delivering written notice of such Force Majeure Event to the other party within ten (10) days of the commencement of the delay caused by the Force Majeure Event. This Section shall not apply to any obligation to pay any sums due under this Lease and the lack of the financial ability to perform shall not constitute a Force Majeure Event.

16.15    BROKERS. Tenant and Landlord represent and warrant to each other that they have not consulted or contacted any agent, broker, or finder in connection with this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all claims for compensation or commission in connection with this Lease by any broker, agent, or finder (other than Broker) claiming to have dealt with such party.

16.16    LANDLORD’S RIGHTS. All rights reserved to Landlord under this Lease shall be exercised in a reasonable manner and in a manner so as to minimize any adverse impact to Tenant’s business or Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Premises.

16.17    CONSENT. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, whenever Landlord’s consent or approval is requested under or in connection with this Lease, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

16.18    TIME REQUIREMENTS.

If the final day of any such time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the jurisdiction where the Premises is located or the jurisdiction to which notices to Landlord or Tenant are to be sent, such period shall extend to the first business day thereafter.

16.19    SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Lease to the contrary, the monetary obligations of Landlord and Tenant that relate to the period prior to the termination or expiration of this Lease (for example, the payment of accrued Rent or the reconciliation of Operating Expenses or Real Estate Taxes) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

16.20    RADON GAS. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county health department.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT


THIS AGREEMENT made as of this _____ day of ___________, ______, between GERMAN AMERICAN CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation, having an address at 60 Wall Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10005 and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, having a principal place of business at Hearst Tower, 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 (hereinafter referred to together, collectively with their respective successors and assigns, as “Lender”), and MVP LRS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (successor by merger to Selmon’s/Florida-I, Limited Partnership, a Florida limited partnership), having an address at 3717 West North B Street, Tampa, FL 33609 Attn: Nick Reader (“Tenant”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Lender has made a loan to New Private Restaurant Properties, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 2202 North West Shore Boulevard, Suite 470C (together with its successors or assigns, “Borrower” or “Master Lessor”), which loan is secured by, inter alia, that certain deed of trust (which deed of trust, and all amendments, renewals, increases, modifications, replacements, substitutions, extensions, spreaders and consolidations thereof and all re-advances thereunder and addictions thereto, is referred to as the “Security Instrument”) recorded in Book 21039, Page 529, March 30, 2012 of Clerk of the Circuit Court Hillsborough County, Florida, on the property described in Schedule “A” annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”); and

WHEREAS, Borrower and New Private Restaurant Master Lessee, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Master Lessee”) have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement executed as of March 20, 2012, to be effective as of March 27, 2012 (the “Master Lease”), an amended and restated memorandum of which Master Lease was recorded in Book 21040, Page 62, April 2, 1012, Clerk of the Circuit Court Hillsborough County, Florida, pursuant to which Master Lessee leases, inter alia, the entire Property from Borrower; and

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that OS Southern, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Sub-Tenant” or “Landlord”) is the sub-tenant under that certain Amended and Restated Sublease Agreement effective March 27, 2012 (the “Sublease”), with Private Restaurant Master Lessee, LLC (“PRML”) as sub-landlord, which Sublease is subordinate to the Master Lease; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Sub‑Sublease Agreement effective ___________, (the “Sub-Sublease”), Landlord has sub-subleased the Property identified in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (the “Premises”) to Tenant.

WHEREAS, Lender and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding and agreement with respect to the Sub-Sublease and the Security Instrument.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Lender and Tenant hereby agree and covenant as follows:

1.     The Sub-Sublease, and all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions thereof (including, without limitation, any right of first refusal, right of first offer, option or any similar right with





respect to the sale or purchase of the Premises, or any portion thereof) is, shall be and shall at all times remain and continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien, terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Master Lease and the Security Instrument and to all advances and re-advances made thereunder and all sums secured thereby. This provision shall be self-operative but Tenant shall execute and deliver any additional instruments which Lender may reasonably require to effect such subordination.

2.     So long as (i) Tenant is not in default (after the giving of any notice required to be given under the Sub-Sublease and beyond any period given in the Sub-Sublease to Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent, percentage rent or additional rent or in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of the Sub-Sublease on Tenant's part to be performed or observed, (ii) Tenant is not in default under this Agreement (after the giving of any notice required to be given under this Agreement and beyond any period given in this Agreement to Tenant to cure such default) and (iii) the Sub-Sublease is in full force and effect: (a) Tenant's possession of the Premises and Tenant's Sub-Sublease Leasehold interest, rights and privileges under the Sub-Sublease, including any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor which is contained in the Sub-Sublease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Lender, and Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender for any reason whatsoever during the term of the Sub-Sublease or any such extensions or renewals thereof, and (b) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Security Instrument or to enforce any rights or remedies of Lender under the Security Instrument which would cut-off, destroy, terminate or extinguish the Sub-Sublease or Tenant's interest and estate under the Sub-Sublease (except to the extent required so that Tenant's right to receive or set-off any monies or obligations owed or to be performed by any of Lender's predecessors-in-interest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Lender or any of Lender's successors-in-interest). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if it would be procedurally disadvantageous for Lender not to name or join Tenant as a party in a foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Security Instrument, Lender may so name or join Tenant without in any way diminishing or otherwise affecting the rights and privileges granted to, or inuring to the benefit of, Tenant under this Agreement.

3.     (A)    After notice is given by Lender that the Security Instrument is in default, and that the rentals under the Sub‑Sublease should be paid to Lender (“Direct Payment Notice”), Tenant will attorn to Lender and pay to Lender, or pay in accordance with the directions of Lender, all rentals and other monies due and to become due to Landlord under the Sub-Sublease or otherwise in respect of the Premises. Such payments shall be made regardless of any right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Tenant may have against Landlord, whether as the tenant under the Sub-Sublease or otherwise. Landlord hereby irrevocably directs Tenant to comply with any Direct Payment Notice regardless of any contrary direction, instruction or assertion by Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to full credit under the Sub-Sublease for any rentals paid to Lender pursuant to a Direct Payment Notice to the same
extent as if such Rent was paid directly to Landlord.

(B)    In addition, if Lender (or its nominee or designee) shall succeed to the rights of Master Lessor under the Master Lease and/or the rights of Landlord under the Sub-Sublease, whether through possession or foreclosure action, delivery of a deed or otherwise (including after a default under the Master Lease), or another person purchases the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the Security Instrument or in connection with any bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or Master Lessor, then at the request of Lender (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser (Lender, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns, each being a "Successor-Landlord"), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor-Landlord as Tenant's landlord under the Sub-Sublease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor-Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, the Sub-Sublease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct Sub-Sublease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant upon all terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in the Sub-Sublease. If the Sub-Sublease shall have terminated by operation of law or otherwise as a





result of or in connection with a bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or Master Lessor or a foreclosure action or proceeding or delivery of a deed in lieu or any other event or circumstance resulting in the termination of the Master Lease, upon request of Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a direct Sub‑Sublease with Successor-Landlord which direct Sub-Sublease shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Sub-Sublease (subject, however, to the provisions of clauses (i)-(v) of this paragraph 3(B)) and shall be effective as of the day the Sub-Sublease shall have terminated as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the continuation of the Sub-Sublease, the attornment of Tenant thereunder or the execution of a direct Sub-Sublease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant as aforesaid, Successor-Landlord shall not:

(i)     be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under the Sub‑Sublease;

(ii)     be subject to any off-set, defense or counterclaim which shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord;
!

(iii)     be bound by any modification of the Sub-Sublease or by any previous prepayment of rent or additional rent made more than one (1) month prior to the date same was due which Tenant might have paid to Landlord, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Lender;

(iv)     be liable for any security deposited under the Sub-Sublease unless such security has been physically delivered to Lender or Successor-Landlord;

(v)     be liable or obligated to comply with or fulfill any of the obligations of the Landlord under the Sub-Sublease or any agreement relating thereto with respect to the construction of, or payment for, improvements on or above the Premises (or any portion thereof), Sub-Sublease Leasehold improvements, tenant work letters and/or similar items, and;

(vi)    be liable or bound under the Sub-Sublease to maintain a fitness facility at the Property.
 

4.     Tenant agrees that without the prior written consent of Lender (to the extent Lender’s consent is required under the terms of the Master Lease), it shall not (a) amend, modify (in any material respects), terminate or cancel the Sub-Sublease or any extensions or renewals thereof, (b) tender a surrender of the Sub-Sublease, (c) make a prepayment of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, or (d) except to the extent required by the terms of the Sub-Sublease, subordinate or permit the subordination of the Sub-Sublease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against the holder of the Security Instrument.

5.     (A)    Tenant shall promptly notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Sub-Sublease and of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Sub-Sublease or to claim a partial or total eviction.

(B)    In the event of a default by Landlord under the Sub-Sublease which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate the Sub‑Sublease, to claim a partial or total eviction, or entitle Tenant to an off-set against rent under the Sub-Sublease, or in the event of any other act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Sub-Sublease, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until Tenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Lender and (ii) unless Lender has failed, within sixty





(60) days after Lender receives such notice, to cure or remedy the default, act or omission or, if such default, act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied by Lender within such sixty (60) day period, until a reasonable period for remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Security Instrument to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under the Sub‑Sublease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that Lender shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to and shall commence and continue to, remedy such default, act or omission. If Lender cannot reasonably remedy a default, act or omission of Landlord until after Lender obtains possession of the Premises, Tenant may not terminate or cancel the Sub-Sublease or claim a partial or total eviction by reason of such default, act or omission until the expiration of a reasonable period necessary for the remedy after Lender secures possession of the Premises. To the extent Lender incurs any expenses or other costs in curing or remedying such default, act or omission, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, Lender shall be subrogated to Tenant’s rights against Landlord.

(C)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation hereunder to remedy such default, act or omission.

6.     To the extent that the Sub-Sublease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence of any mortgage and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Lender.

7.     Upon and during the continuance of a default under the Master Lease, the Sublease, the Sub-Sublease, and/or the Security Instrument, which is not cured after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Lender shall be entitled, but not obligated, to exercise the claims, rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Landlord under the Sub-Sublease and shall be further entitled to the benefits of, and to receive and enforce performance of, all of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under the Sub-Sublease as though Lender were named therein as Landlord.

8.     Anything herein or in the Sub-Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Successor-Landlord shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor-Landlord’s then interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor-Landlord in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor-Landlord hereunder or under the Sub-Sublease, and Successor-Landlord is hereby released or relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Sub-Sublease. Tenant agrees that, with respect to any money judgment which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor-Landlord in the Property (including, without limitation, the rents, issues and profits therefrom), and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor-Landlord.

9.     Intentionally Omitted

10.    If the Sub-Sublease provides that Tenant is entitled to expansion space, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation nor any liability for failure to provide such expansion space if a prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), by reason of a Sub-Sublease or Sub‑Subleases entered into by such prior landlord with other tenants of the Property, has precluded the availability of such expansion space.

11.    Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Lender shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other instrument to which Lender may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Sub-Sublease or otherwise.







12.     (A)    Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement satisfies and complies in all respects with the provisions of Paragraph 14.2 of the Sub-Sublease and that this Agreement supersedes (but only to the extent inconsistent with) the provisions of such Article and any other provision of the Sub-Sublease relating to the priority or subordination of the Sub-Sublease and the interests or estates created hereby to the Security Instrument.

(B)    Tenant agrees to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any lender which shall succeed Lender as lender with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, provided such agreement is substantially similar to this Agreement.

13.     (A)    Any notice required or permitted to be given by Tenant to Landlord shall be simultaneously given also to Lender, and any right to Tenant dependent upon notice shall take effect only after notice is so given. Performance by Lender shall satisfy any conditions of the Sub-Sublease requiring performance by Landlord, and Lender shall have a reasonable time to complete such performance as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof.

(B)    All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to Tenant or to Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if mailed by United States registered mail, postage prepaid, or if sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express or United States Postal Service Express Mail), addressed as follows: to Tenant, at the address first set forth above; to Lender, at the address first set forth above, Attention: General Counsel, with a copy to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Harvey R. Uris, Esq.; or to such other address or number as such party may hereafter designate by notice delivered in accordance herewith. All such notices shall be deemed given three (3) business days after delivery to the United States Post office registry clerk if given by registered mail, or on the next business day after delivery to an overnight delivery courier.

14.     This Agreement may be modified only 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 respective successors and assigns. The term “Lender” shall mean the then holder of the Security Instrument. The term “Landlord” shall mean the then holder of the landlord’s interest in the Sub-Sublease. The term “person” shall mean an individual, joint venture, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, unincorporated association or other entity. All references herein to the Sub-Sublease shall mean the Sub-Sublease as modified by this Agreement and to any amendments or modifications to the Sub-Sublease (provided that Lender shall not be bound by any such amendment or modification if Lender’s consent thereto is required under the Master Lease and such consent of Lender has not been obtained). Any inconsistency between the Sub-Sublease and the provisions of this Agreement shall be resolved, to the extent of such inconsistency, in favor of this Agreement.

15.     Tenant hereby represents to Lender as follows:

(A)     The Sub-Sublease is in full force and effect and has not been further amended.

(B)    There has been no assignment of the Sub-Sublease or subletting of any portion
of the premises demised under the Sub-Sublease.

(C)    There are no oral or written agreements or understandings between Landlord and Tenant relating to the premises demised under the Sub-Sublease or the Sub-Sublease transaction except as set forth in the Sub-Sublease.









(D)    The execution of the Sub-Sublease was duly authorized and the Sub-Sublease is in full force and effect and to the best of Tenant’s knowledge there exists no default (beyond any applicable grace period) on the part of either Tenant or Landlord under the Sub-Sublease.

(E)    There has not been filed by or against nor to the best of the knowledge and belief of Tenant is there threatened against Tenant, any petition under the bankruptcy laws of the United States.

(F)    To the best of Tenant’s knowledge, there has not been any assignment, hypothecation or pledge of the Sub-Sublease or rents accruing under the Sub-Sublease by Landlord, other than pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Sublease.

16.    Whenever, from time to time, reasonably requested by Lender (but not more than three (3) times during any calendar year), Tenant shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lender, and without charge to Lender, one or more written certifications, in a form acceptable to Tenant, of all of the matters set forth in Paragraph 15 above, and any other information the Lender may reasonably require to confirm the current status of the Sub-Sublease.

17.    BOTH TENANT AND LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located.
