If the Actual Statement reveals that Tenant’s Share of the actual Common Area Expenses is less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant for Common Area Expenses on account of the preceding calendar year, Landlord will credit any overpayment toward the next monthly Installment(s) of Tenant’s Share of the Common Area Expenses due under this Lease.

 

4.8 Miscellaneous. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement pursuant to this Section 4 will not constitute a waiver of its right to require an increase in Rent nor will it relieve Tenant of its obligations pursuant to this Section 4, except that Tenant will not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement until ten (10) days after receipt of such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement. If Tenant does not object to any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives any such statement, such statement will be deemed final and binding on Tenant.

Such obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Prior lo the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term and Landlord’s acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to estimate the actual Common Area Expenses for the then current Lease Year and to collect from Tenant prior to Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Tenant’s Share of any excess of such actual Common Area Expenses over the estimated Common Area Expenses paid by Tenant in such Lease Year.

14.1 Restriction on Transfer. Tenant will not assign or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, except as provided in this Section 14. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, encumbrance or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. This prohibition against assigning or subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. If this Lease is assigned by Tenant, or if the Premises or any part thereof are sublet or occupied by any person or entity other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained unless expressly made in writing by Landlord. Irrespective of any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Without limiting Landlord’s right to withhold its consent on any reasonable grounds, it is agreed that Landlord will not be acting unreasonably in refusing to consent to an assignment or sublease if, in Landlord’s opinion, (i) the quality of the operation of the proposed assignee or subtenant is not equal to that of the Tenant, (ii) such assignee or subtenant may adversely affect (a) the business of the other tenants, (b) the tenant mix in the Project, or (c) Landlord’s ability to obtain percentage rent, (iii) the net worth or financial capabilities of such assignee or subtenant is less than that of Tenant at the date hereof, or (iv) the proposed assignment or sublease involves a change of use of the Premises from that specified herein. Any proposed assignee or subtenant which Landlord does not disapprove shall be deemed a “Permitted Business”. If Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets the Premises to a third party who is not in any way affiliated or connected with Tenant by way of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or otherwise, any rent, additional rent or other compensation paid to Tenant in addition to the rent payable to Landlord as set forth in this Lease shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent. If Tenant is a corporation, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty nine percent (49%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Section 14.

 

14.2 Transfer Notice. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Tenant agrees to give Landlord a notice (the “Transfer Notice”), stating the name, address and business of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as “Transferee”), reasonable information (including references) concerning the character, ownership, and financial condition of the proposed Transferee, the Transfer Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed Transferee, and the consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such detail as Landlord may reasonably require.

 

Lease-16- 

 

14.3 Landlord’s Options. Within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s receipt of any Transfer Notice, and any additional information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed Transferee’s financial responsibility, Landlord will notify Tenant of its election to do one of the following: (i) consent to the proposed Transfer subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord may impose in providing such consent; (ii) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or (iii) terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned and recapture all or such portion of the Premises for reletting by Landlord.

 

14.4 Additional Conditions. A condition to Landlord’s consent to any Transfer of this Lease will be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, all sums and other consideration payable to and for the benefit of Tenant by the assignee or sublessee in excess of the rent payable under this Lease for the same period and portion of the Premises. In calculating excess rent or other consideration which may be payable to Landlord under this Section, Tenant will be entitled to deduct commercially reasonable third party brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees and other amounts reasonably and actually expended by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting if acceptable written evidence of such expenditures is provided to Landlord. No Transfer will release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer will not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor.

23.3 Landlord’s Remedies; Re Entry Rights. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or In equity, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of pursuant to Section 12.4 of this Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by landlord pursuant to this Section 23.3, and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord’s part, shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

23.4 Landlord’s Remedies; Continuation of Lease. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to accelerate the payment of rent and other monetary sums payable by Tenant for the balance of the Term and upon any such election, such sums shall be immediately due and payable. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in full force and effect, whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects to continue this Lease in full force and effect pursuant to this Section 23.4, then landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due. Landlord’s election not to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 23.4 or pursuant to any other provision of this Lease, at law or In equity, shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently electing to terminate this Lease or pursuing any of its other remedies.

 

23.5 Landlord’s Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money (other than Basic Rent) or perform any other act on its part to be paid or performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for three (3) days with respect to monetary obligations (or ten (10) days with respect to non-monetary obligations) after Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations, make such payment or perform such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs Incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after demand therefor as additional rent.

 

23.6 Interest. If any monthly installment of Basic Rent or Common Area Expenses, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by landlord by the dale when due, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 1.14 of the Summary from the date due until paid. All interest, and any late charges imposed pursuant to Section 23.7 below, shall be considered additional rent due from Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease.

 

23.7 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that, in addition to interest costs, the late payments by Tenant to landlord of any Basic Rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and Impractical to fix. Such other costs include, without limitation, processing, administrative and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust or related loan documents encumbering the Premises, the Building or the Project. Accordingly, if any monthly installment of Basic Rent or Common Area Expenses or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the due dale thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount as a late charge, but in no event more than the maximum late charge allowed by law. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any late payment as hereinabove referred to by Tenant, and the payment of late charges and interest are distinct and separate in that the payment of Interest Is to compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord’s money by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s processing, administrative and other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s delinquent payments. Acceptance of a late charge or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity now or hereafter in effect. In the event that any payments of any kind made by Tenant are returned for insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon receipt of written demand (1) the actual NSF fee charged by the respective bank, and (2) an additional handling charge of up to $60.00, and thereafter, Landlord may require Tenant to pay all future payments of Rent or other sums due by money order or cashier’s check.

 

Lease-24- 

 

23.8 Security Interest. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a lien and security interest on all property of Tenant now or hereafter placed in or upon the Premises including, but not limited to, all fixtures, machinery, equipment, furnishings and other articles of personal property, and all proceeds of the sale or other disposition of such property (collectively, the “Collateral”) to secure the payment of all rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Such lien and security interest shall be in addition to any landlord’s lien provided by law. This Lease shall constitute a security agreement under the Commercial Code of the State so that Landlord shall have and may enforce a security interest in the Collateral. Tenant agrees to execute as debtor and deliver such financing statement or statements and any further documents as Landlord may now or hereafter reasonably request to protect such security interest pursuant to such code. Landlord may also at any time file a copy of this Lease as a financing statement. Landlord, as secured party, shall be entitled to all rights and remedies afforded as secured party under such code, which rights and remedies shall be in addition lo Landlord’s liens and rights provided by law or by the other terms and provisions of this Lease.

 

23.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Section 24 and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or In equity, whether or not stated in this Lease.
