ARTICLE 10 NO ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING

10.01 Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, without on each occasion first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord’s failure to respond within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s request shall be deemed a consent to Tenant’s request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent shall be required for an assignment or sublease by Tenant to (a) any person or entity controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a “Tenant Affiliate”); (b) a merger where Tenant is the surviving entity; (c) in connection with Tenant’s sale of substantially all of the assets of the business, and sale of merchandise and equipment, conducted by it at the Premises, or (d) any corporation or entity which shall acquire all or substantially all of the stock or all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant as a result of a consolidation, merger or sale. Tenant shall provide notice of such transfer to Landlord at least 15 days prior to the effective date, subject to any confidentiality requirements, and in the case of an assignment or sublease, shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease. In the event of any assignment of this Lease made with or without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall, nevertheless, remain liable for the performance of all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease and prior to any assignment that requires Landlord’s consent being effective, any assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord an assumption of liability agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, including an assumption by the assignee of all of the obligations of Tenant and the assignee’s ratification of and agreement to be bound by all the provisions of this Lease, including any warrants of attorney to confess judgment, if any. Any assignment or subletting requiring, but made without Landlord’s consent, shall be void and of no effect at Landlord’s option. If Tenant shall request the consent of Landlord to any assignment of this Lease, or subletting of all or part of the Premises, Tenant shall pay and deliver to Landlord as Additional Rent, a fee of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) representing Landlord’s costs related thereto including Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees, prior to Landlord being required to deliver any consent or rejection. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if (i) the proposed transferee is an existing tenant of Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, (ii) the business or business reputation of the proposed transferee or creditworthiness of the proposed transferee is reasonably unacceptable to Landlord, (iii) Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord has comparable space available for lease by the proposed transferee or (iv) Tenant is then in default under this Lease after applicable and required notice and cure periods, or any act or omission has occurred which would constitute a default with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent from any person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises primarily for the storage of Hazardous Materials.

10.02 The provisions of Section 10.01 notwithstanding, if Tenant proposes to sublet all of the Premises or assign this Lease (other than as permitted without consent), Landlord may terminate this Lease, either conditioned on execution of a new lease between Landlord and the proposed subtenant or assignee or without that condition. If Tenant proposes to enter into a sublease of less than all of the

Initials:   Landlord     Tenant   DS  


Premises (other than as permitted without consent), Landlord may amend this Lease to remove the portion of the Premises to be transferred, either conditioned on execution of a new lease between Landlord and the proposed subtenant or without condition.

If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall provide Landlord along with Tenant’s request, current financial statements of the transferee certified by an executive officer of the transferee, a complete copy of the proposed assignment or sublease documents, and any other information Landlord reasonably requests, so as to enable Landlord to make a reasoned decision regarding consent to such transaction.

10.03 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may seek to raise capital for expansion of its business by transferring or issuing stock of Tenant and that any such transfer or issuance, including, without limitation, selling its outstanding voting stock to the public through listing on a “national securities exchange” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, shall be permitted without Landlord’s prior consent or approval.

10.04 In the event of an assignment under this Article 11, Tenant shall remain liable and obligated under all the terms of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 11 CASUALTY LOSS

11.01 Total Destruction. In the event that the Premises are totally destroyed or so damaged by fire or other casualty that the same cannot, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be repaired or restored within two hundred seventy (270) days, this Lease shall absolutely cease and terminate as of the date of such casualty, and the Rent shall abate for the balance of the term. If a casualty occurs, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to find comparable warehouse space for Tenant’s use.

11.02 Partial Destruction. If the damage caused as described above be only partial and such that the Premises can be restored within a reasonable time to their condition immediately prior to the damage, the Landlord shall restore the same with reasonable promptness, reserving the right to enter upon the Premises for that purpose, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. The Landlord also reserves the right to enter upon the Premises upon reasonable advance notice, whenever necessary to repair damage caused by fire or other casualty to the Building, using good faith efforts not to render the Premises or a part thereof untenantable. In either event the Rent shall be apportioned and suspended during the time the Premises or other portion of the Building have been damaged by casualty, taking into account the proportion of the Premises rendered untenantable and the duration of the Landlord’s repair and restoration. If a dispute arises as to the amount of Rent due under this Section 11.02, Tenant agrees to pay the full amount claimed by Landlord under protest, and Tenant shall have the right, however, to proceed by law (or arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association) to recover the excess payment, if any, as well as all legal fees and reasonable costs incurred in contesting such abatement.

11.03 Election to Repair. Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after such casualty of Landlord’s good faith estimate of the time needed to restore the Premises and/or the Building, as the case may be. If such estimated time exceeds two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of casualty, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, provided Tenant’s termination notice is sent within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives Landlord’s good faith estimate. If Tenant does not exercise such right of termination as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, commence to repair the damage and, thereafter, shall diligently and continuously pursue completion of such repairs. If Landlord fails to so complete the repairs within the estimated

Initials:   Landlord     Tenant   DS  


completion date, Tenant shall have the right and option, upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Landlord to cancel this Lease, provided, however, should Landlord complete such restoration prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Tenant’s termination notice shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect, and this Lease shall continue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days of such casualty (i) if the casualty is not the type of casualty for which Landlord is required to maintain insurance under the terms of this Lease, and (ii) more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises has been destroyed.

11.04 No Liability. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, compensation of claim by reason of inconvenience or annoyance arising from the necessity of repairing any portion of the Building, the interruption in the use of the Premises or the termination of this Lease by reason of the destruction of the Premises.

11.05 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Each of the parties hereby releases the other and waives any claim against the other, to the extent of each party’s insurance coverage which such party is obligated to obtain pursuant to this Lease (or such additional coverage maintained by such party), from any and all liability for any loss or damage that may be inflicted upon the property of such party even if such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party, its agents or employees. Each party shall procure from each of its insurers under all policies of insurance a waiver of all rights of subrogation which said insurer might otherwise have against the other party hereto, said waiver to be in writing and for the express benefit of such other party and its directors, officers, and employees.

 

ARTICLE 12 INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

12.01 Subject to Section 11.05 above, and except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees, Tenant will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and its agents from and against any and all third party claims, actions, damages, liability and expense (including fees of attorneys, investigators and experts) which may he asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by Landlord or its agents and arising out of or in connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property in the Premises or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Property by Tenant or its agents or employees and occasioned wholly or in part by any tortious act or omission of Tenant or its agents or employees, during the Term. Third party claims include claims of Tenant’s employees and invitees. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Subject to Section 11.05 above, and except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents or employees, Landlord will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tenant and its agents from and against any and all third party claims, actions, damages, liability and expense (including fees of attorneys, investigators and experts) which may he asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by Tenant or its agents and arising out of or in connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property in the Project and occasioned wholly or in part by any tortious act or omission of Landlord or its agents or employees, during the Term. Landlord’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

12.02 Tenant will keep in full force and effect, at its sole cost and expense, as long as this Lease remains in effect: (i) commercial general liability insurance, with respect to the Leased Premises and Tenant’s use thereof in financially solvent companies providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the aggregate on a “per location” basis, and (ii) fire and extended coverage insurance on Tenant’s personal property, including inventory, trade fixtures, floor coverings, furniture and other

Initials:   Landlord     Tenant   DS  


property, and Tenant’s leasehold improvements, with coverage for perils as set forth under the “Causes of Loss-Special Form” or equivalent property insurance policy in an amount equal to the full insurable replacement cost of the property insured. Tenant will further deposit certificates thereof, with Landlord. The policy shall be endorsed to provide that it is primary to and not contributory to any policies carried by Landlord and to provide that it shall not be cancelable or reduced without the insurer endeavoring to provide at least 30 days prior notice to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date or any earlier date on which Tenant accesses the Premises, and at least 30 days prior to the date of each policy renewal, a certificate of insurance evidencing such required coverage. If the nature of Tenant’s operation is such as to place any or all of its employees under the coverage of local worker’s compensation or similar statutes, Tenant shall also keep in force, at its sole cost and expense, so long as this Lease remains in effect, insurance affording statutory coverage and containing statutory limits. If Tenant shall not comply with its covenants made in this Section after ten (10) days notice from Landlord, Landlord may cause insurance as aforesaid to be issued; and in such event Tenant agrees to, pay, as addition rent, the premium for such insurance upon Landlord’s demand. Tenant shall also maintain business interruption insurance for a minimum period of six (6) months.

12.03 As part of Property Operating Charge, Landlord will keep in full force and effect: (i) commercial general liability insurance, with respect to the Project in financially solvent companies providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the aggregate on a “per location” basis, and (ii) fire and extended coverage insurance on the Building and all improvements made thereto (excluding Tenant’s personal property) with coverage for perils as set forth under the “Causes of Loss-Special Form” or equivalent property insurance policy in an amount equal to the full insurable replacement cost of the property insured. The policy shall be endorsed to provide that it shall not be cancelable or reduced without the insurer endeavoring to provide at least 30 days prior notice to Tenant. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date or any earlier date on which Tenant accesses the Premises, and at least 30 days prior to the date of each policy renewal, a certificate of insurance evidencing such required coverage.

12.04 Nothing contained in this Article shall prohibit either party hereto from obtaining a policy or policies of blanket insurance which may cover other property of such party, provided that any such blanket policy (a) expressly allocates to the properties to be insured hereunder not less than the amount of insurance required pursuant to this Lease, and (b) shall not diminish the obligations of such party so that the proceeds from the blanket policy will be less than the proceeds that would be available if the required insurance was obtained under policies separately insuring such risks.

 

ARTICLE 13 INCREASE IN LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

13.01 In the event Tenant’s occupancy causes any increase of premiums for the fire, boiler and/or casualty rates on the Premises or the Building above the standard and customary rate for the type of tenancy and use of the Premises, the Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, the addition premium on the fire, boiler and/or casualty insurance policies by reason thereof. Bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Landlord to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, and shall be due from, and payable by Tenant when rendered, and the amount thereof shall be deemed to be and shall be paid as additional rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that as long as Tenant uses the Premises for the Permitted Use as described in the Summary, it shall not be responsible for payment of an increase in Landlord’s insurance as provided herein.

ARTICLE 14 CONDEMNATION

14.01 If the whole of the Building shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or a deed given in lieu thereof (a “Taking”) then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding and all rentals shall be paid up to that date and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority in respect to any compensation for such Taking awarded the Landlord, whether through a negotiated settlement or through formal condemnation proceedings. The compensation awarded for a Taking shall belong to Landlord. Except for any relocation benefits to which Tenant may be entitled, Tenant hereby assigns all claims against the condemning authority to Landlord, including, but not limited to, any claim relating to the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to claim any compensation as may be separately awarded or receivable by Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of any costs or loss Tenant may suffer for the removal of its merchandise, furniture, fixtures or equipment, the loss of the unamortized value of the improvements made pursuant to this Lease or any other element of special damage separately recoverable by the Tenant at Tenant’s expense and with no adverse impact on Landlord.

If any part of the Project shall be acquired or condemned as aforesaid, and in the event that in Tenant’s reasonable business judgment, such partial taking or condemnation shall render the Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding, all Rent shall be paid up to that date and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority and assigns to Landlord any compensation for such Taking awarded the Landlord, whether through a negotiated settlement or through a formal condemnation proceeding, provided, however, that Rent shall be adjusted to the date of such termination. In the event of a partial Taking or condemnation that is not extensive enough to render the entire Premises unsuitable for the business of the Tenant, the Landlord shall promptly restore the remaining portion of the Premises to its condition as nearly as possible as existed at the time of such condemnation less the portion lost in the taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Rent shall be proportionately abated based upon the extent and duration of any interference with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises occasioned by such taking or sale and any repairs or alterations resulting therefrom and shall thereafter adjusted on the basis of the number of square feet taken on a pro rata basis.

 

ARTICLE 15 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO ENTRY

15.01 Landlord and persons designated by it have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant to examine the same and to do such work as Landlord is obligated to do under the terms hereof or to do such work as Landlord shall deem necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or Building; provided, however, that, except in the case of an emergency, the same shall not interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Tenant’s business, although even in an emergency, Landlord shall use good faith, diligent efforts not to interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business.

15.02 Landlord shall have the right to display a “For Sale” sign at any time, and also, after notice of either party of its intention to terminate this Lease, or at any time within nine (9) months prior to the expiration of this Lease, a “For Rent” sign, or both “For Rent” and “For Sale” signs; and all of said signs may be placed upon the exterior part of the Premises and/or Building as Landlord may elect and may contain such matter as Landlord shall require. Prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants authorized by Landlord may inspect the Premises at reasonable business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant.

ARTICLE 16 DEFAULT; REMEDIES

16.01 In the event that during the term of this Lease (regardless of the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or other proceedings, at law, in equity, or before any administrative tribunal, that has prevented or might prevent compliance by Tenant with the terms of this Lease): (a) intentionally deleted; (b) Tenant shall fail to pay when due any Rent or any other amount to be paid to Landlord under this Lease where such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after notice from Landlord that such payment is past due; such failure to pay shall constitute a default under this Lease; (c) Tenant enters into or permits any assignment or sublease in violation of this Lease; (d) Tenant defaults under Section 19, 21 or 22 of this Lease and such default continue for fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord; (e) Tenant shall be in default in the observance or performance of any of Tenant’s covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, other than payment obligations, and such default shall not be cured within twenty (20) days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant written notice specifying such default or defaults; provided, however, that if the nature of such failure is such that more than twenty (20) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said twenty (20) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; or (f) (i) Tenant is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; or (ii) Tenant shall file a bill in equity or otherwise initiate proceedings for the appointment of a receiver of Tenant’s assets; or (iii) Tenant shall file any proceedings in bankruptcy or for reorganization or an arrangement under any federal or state law; or (iv) if any proceedings in bankruptcy or for the appointment of a receiver shall be instituted by any creditor of Tenant under any state or federal law; or (v) Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (vi) if Tenant is levied upon and is about to be sold out upon the Premises under executions or other legal process; then in any such event Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under this Lease and at law and in equity, at its election pursuant to court order (aa) upon notice to Tenant, to accelerate and recover Base Rent due hereunder for the six (6) month period following delivery of Landlord’s acceleration notice, such amounts to be discounted to present value at an assumed discount rate of six percent (6%), and upon payment of all sums due hereunder, Tenant shall receive a credit or a rebate at the end of each six (6) month rental period, against accelerated Base Rent paid by Tenant hereunder, of any rent actually paid to Landlord by a replacement tenant in a re-letting of the Premises during each such six (6) month period, and Landlord shall be entitled to accelerate and recover Base Rent and other amounts which will come due for each subsequent six (6) month period, discounted to present value at an assumed discount rate of six percent (6%), (bb) to recover all Base Rent and additional rent, if any, that is due and payable, and/or (cc) intentionally deleted (dd) to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, either by summary dispossession proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and repossess and enjoy the Premises, together with all additions, alterations and improvements; and/or (ee) to terminate this Lease, without any right on the part of the Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken after the Tenant has been dispossessed from the Premises; and/or (ff) to pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity. Upon recovering possession of the Premises by reason of, based upon, or arising out of a default on the part of Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, either terminate this Lease or make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises and relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Landlord’s name or otherwise, for a term or terms that may at Landlord’s option be less than or exceed the period that would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as in Landlord’s sole discretion may seem advisable and to such person or persons as may in Landlord’s discretion seem best; upon each such reletting all rents 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 costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the condition required of Tenant at the expiration of the

Term and performing the maintenance requirements of Tenant under this Lease, plus reasonable brokerage fees and attorney’s fees; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises or making of alteration and/or improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be construed as an election on the part of the Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention be given to Tenant. Provided Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages, including reletting the Premises and collecting rental therefrom, Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises or, in the event that the Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such reletting. Tenant, for Tenant and Tenant’s successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord to be Tenant’s and its agent to collect the rents due and to become due under all subleases of the Premises or any parts thereof without in any way affecting Tenant’s obligation to pay any unpaid balance of rent due hereunder. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

16.02 Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall, upon demand therefor, reimburse the prevailing party for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the prevailing party and awarded by the court in such action in taking any action to enforce obligations under this Lease and to exercise any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s rights and remedies.

16.03 BOTH LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LEASE.

16.04 Anything in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the land and building comprising the Project of which the Premises are a part (subject to the prior rights of any mortgagee of the Building) for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach of Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord or any partner, member or shareholder of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies; however, if Landlord defaults in performance of any obligation imposed on it by this Lease and does not cure such default within twenty (20) days after notice from Tenant (or does not within said period commence and thereafter diligently proceed to cure such default), Tenant, without waiver or prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have at law, shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to cure such default for the account of Landlord, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant upon invoice for any reasonable amount paid and any expense or contractual liability so incurred, including reasonable counsel fees. Tenant’s right to cure shall be limited to the Premises. In the event of emergencies, or where necessary to prevent injury to persons or damage to property, Tenant may cure a default by Landlord before the expiration of the waiting period, but after giving such written or oral notice to the other party as is practical under the circumstances.

16.05 No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the total amount due Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of Rent due, or Landlord’s right to pursue any other available remedy.

ARTICLE 17 NO CONTINGENCY; WAIVER OF PERFORMANCE

17.01 The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that such party may have and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.

 

ARTICLE 18 PERFORMANCE OF TENANT’S COVENANTS

18.01 Tenant agrees that it will perform all of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein expressed on its part to be performed and complied with, and that Tenant will immediately upon receipt of written notice, where notice of nonperformance or noncompliance is required by the Lease, commence to comply with the requirements of such notice and further, if Tenant shall violate any covenant, condition of agreement herein, and fail to cure such violation within twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord (or does not within said period commence and thereafter diligently proceed to cure such default), Landlord may at its option do or cause to be done any or all of the things provided by this Lease and in so doing Landlord shall have the right to cause its agents, employees, and contractors to enter upon the Premises, and provided good faith efforts are made not to interfere with the operation of Tenant’s business, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting in any way from such action; and Tenant agrees to pay an additional rent within the lesser of any period expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease or ten (10) days of demand any monies paid or expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in taking such action, including reasonable counsel fees, any such sum to be collectible from Tenant as additional rent. In the event of emergencies, or where necessary to prevent injury to persons or damage to property, the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referenced above may be reduced based upon the type and extent of such emergency.

 

ARTICLE 19 SUBORDINATION

19.01 This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to all underlying leases and to the lien of any mortgage and/or other encumbrances that may now or hereafter affect such leases or the Premises, and also to all renewals, modifications, consolidations and replacements of said underlying leases and mortgages or other encumbrances, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination, but conditioned upon Landlord, Tenant and the holder of . any mortgages or encumbrance to execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement reasonably acceptable to such parties. Tenant agrees to attorn to the lessor or to any holder of any mortgage or other encumbrance to which this Lease is subordinate and to any purchaser or other party claiming from or through the holder. The lessor, mortgagee or other holder, and a purchaser at foreclosure or otherwise claiming from or through the holder (each, a “Successor”), shall not be liable for any obligations of Landlord except those arising while such person is owner of the Premises. Tenant shall, execute and deliver upon demand such further reasonable instrument or instruments confirming such subordination of this Lease to all underlying leases and to the lien of any such mortgage and/or other encumbrances as shall be desired by any mortgagee or by any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holder of any mortgage may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery and in that event such mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though it had been executed prior to the

execution and delivery of the mortgage and had been assigned to such mortgagee. Tenant agrees to be subordinate to the lien of any mortgagee, ground lessor or other party whose title might hereafter become superior to the title of Landlord subsequently placed upon the Premises after the date of this Lease, (hereinafter referred to as the “Subsequent Mortgagee”), provided Tenant, Landlord and the Subsequent Mortgagee first execute an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties thereto, which agreement shall incorporate, provisions to the following effect: (a) that such Subsequent Mortgagee shall at all times, including, but not limited to, any foreclosure or other repossession proceedings, recognize, permit and continue the tenancy of Tenant and its successor and assigns in the Premises and assume the obligations of Landlord under the provisions of this Lease; and (b) that such Superior Mortgagee shall require that any purchaser acquiring the Shopping Center shall assume the obligations of Landlord under this Lease so that the rights of Tenant or those holding under Tenant shall not be interfered with or affected.

19.02 No Successor shall be (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord, (but shall be subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord, or (ii) bound by payment of Rent more than one month in advance or liable for any other funds paid by Tenant to Landlord unless such funds actually have been transferred to the Successor by Landlord.

20.01 Any notice, consent or other communication under this Lease shall be in writing and addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their respective addresses set forth in the Summary (or to such other party an/or address as either may designate by notice to the other) with a copy to any mortgagee or other party designated by Landlord. Each notice or other communication shall be deemed given if sent by prepaid overnight delivery service or by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with delivery in any case evidenced by a receipt, and shall be deemed to have been given on the day of actual delivery to the intended recipient or on the business day delivery is refused. The giving of notice by Landlord’s or Tenant’s attorneys, representatives and agents under this Section shall be deemed to be the acts of Landlord or Tenant as the case may be.

BACKGROUND

A. As security for a loan made by Bank to                     (“Landlord”) Landlord gave Bank (the “First Mortgage”) Mortgage shall be referred to as the “Security Instrument”), constituting a first lien against the Property described on Schedule “A” attached hereto (the “Property”).

B. Tenant has entered into the Lease dated                     (the “Lease”) covering that specific portion of the Property as identified on Exhibit “    ” of the Lease (the “Leased Premises”).

C. Bank has requested that the Lease be subordinated to the lien of the Security Instrument and that Tenant agree to attorn to the purchaser of the Property at foreclosure of the Security Instrument in the event of such foreclosure, or to Bank prior to foreclosure in the event Bank elects to collect the rents and other sums due and becoming due under the Lease, and Tenant is willing to so attorn, if Bank will recognize Tenant’s rights under the Lease, on the terms and conditions hereinafter provided.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE.

The Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Security Instrument and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, to the full extent of the principal amount and other sums secured thereby and interest thereon, as if the Lease had been executed and delivered after the execution, delivery and recording of the Security Instrument.

 

2. ATTORNMENT.

Tenant agrees that it will attorn to and recognize: (i) Bank, whether as mortgagee in possession or otherwise; (ii) any purchaser at a foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument; (iii) any transferee who acquires possession of or title to the Property, whether by deed in lieu of foreclosure or other means; and (iv) the successors and assigns of such purchasers and/or transferees (each of the foregoing parties, a “Successor”), as its landlord for the unexpired balance (and any extensions, if exercised) of the term of the Lease upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments by any party hereto; provided, however, that Tenant will, upon request by Bank or any Successor, execute a written agreement attorning to Bank or such Successor, affirming Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, and agreeing to pay all rent and other sums due or to become due to Bank or such Successor.

 

3. NON-DISTURBANCE.

4. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES.

Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised that Landlord is assigning the Lease and the rents thereunder to Bank pursuant to an Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents from Landlord to Bank (the “Assignment”). Tenant agrees that if Bank, pursuant to the Assignment, and whether or not it becomes a mortgagee in possession, shall give notice to Tenant that Bank has elected to require Tenant to pay to Bank the rent and other charges payable by Tenant under the Lease, Tenant shall, until Bank shall have cancelled such election, be similarly bound to Bank and shall similarly attorn to Bank and shall thereafter pay to Bank all rent and other sums payable under the Lease. Any such payment shall be made notwithstanding any right of defense or counterclaim which Tenant may have against Landlord, or any right to terminate the Lease. TENANT REQUIRE’S LANDLORD’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT IT AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 4.

 

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

5.1. In the event that Bank succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, or title to the Property, then Bank and any Successor shall assume and be bound by the obligations of Landlord under the Lease which accrue from and after such party’s succession to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, but Bank and such Successor shall not be: (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (ii) liable for the retention, application or return of any security deposit to the extent not paid over to Bank; (iii) subject to any defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord), (iv) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including Landlord); (v) intentionally omitted; or (vi) obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord under the Lease which occurred prior to the date on which Bank or such Successor succeeded to Landlord’s interest under the Lease, unless such default continues to exist while the Bank or such successor is landlord. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to waive any of Tenant’s rights and remedies against any prior landlord.

5.2. Tenant agrees that any person or entity which at any time hereafter becomes the landlord under the Lease, including without limitation, Bank or any Successor, shall be liable only for the performance of the obligations of the landlord under the Lease which arise during the period of its or their ownership of the Leased Premises and shall not be liable for any obligations of the landlord under the Lease which arise prior to or subsequent to such ownership. Tenant further agrees that any such liability shall be limited to the interest of Bank or such Successor in the Property, and Tenant shall not be able to enforce any such liability against any other assets of Bank or such Successor.

 

6. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS.

Tenant agrees to give notice to Bank of any default by Landlord under the Lease, specifying the nature of such default, and thereupon Bank shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default, and (if Tenant is entitled to terminate the Lease or abate any rent payable thereunder by reason of such default) Tenant shall not terminate the Lease or abate the rent payable thereunder by reason of such default unless and until it has afforded Bank thirty (30) days after Bank’s receipt of such notice to cure such default and a reasonable period of time in addition thereto (i) if the circumstances are such that said default cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period and Bank has commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure, or (ii) during and after any litigation action including a foreclosure, bankruptcy, possessory action or a combination thereof. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not require Bank to cure any default which is not susceptible of cure by Bank.
