Landlord will not directly or indirectly, create or permit to be created or to remain in existence any lien, encumbrance or claim affecting the Property or Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest under this Agreement other than: (a) the leasehold estate created by this Agreement and the rights, if any, of any present and future subtenant of Tenant hereunder, (b) the Approved Title Exceptions, and (c) that certain first mortgage secured

Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in writing prior to any such sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment, and Landlord agrees to deliver to Tenant true and complete copies of the instrument or instruments which will consummate each such transfer at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date thereof.

 

SECTION 11: EMINENT DOMAIN

 

11.1        Total Taking. If, during the Lease Term, all of the Property is taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, or if less than all of the Property is taken, the Lease Term will terminate on the date of vesting of title to the Property in the condemnor. Landlord shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the unpaid Rent through the end of the Lease Term, discounted to present value using an interest factor of six percent (6%) per annum, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain all of the balance of any awards and other payments arising from any such taking.

 

5


 

11.2        Partial Taking. If less than all of the Property is taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof such that, in Tenant’s sole opinion, the Business can be operated on the Property in a manner acceptable to Tenant, this Agreement will not terminate but will continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the Lease Term with respect to that portion of the Property not the subject of the taking. Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain all of the awards and other payments arising from any such taking.

 

11.3        Temporary Taking. If all or any portion of the Property is taken by the exercise of the right of eminent domain for governmental occupancy for a limited period, this Agreement will not terminate and Tenant will continue to perform all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder as though such taking had not occurred (except to the extent that Tenant is prevented from doing so by reason of such taking; provided, however, that in no event will Tenant be excused from the payment of Rent and all other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Agreement). In the event of such taking, Tenant will be entitled to receive the entire amount of any awards and other payments made for such taking (whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise), and Landlord hereby assigns such awards and other payments to Tenant.

 

11.4        Participation in Proceeding. Tenant will have the exclusive right to direct and control, and enter into any settlement with respect to, any eminent domain and similar proceedings seeking to take all or any portion of the Property and any appeals which might be taken therefrom, and Tenant is irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of Landlord to do so. Tenant shall pay all of its expenses in connection with any such proceedings.

 

SECTION 12:  LANDLORD MORTGAGES

 

Section 12.1          Subordination. Upon request by any holder (“Mortgagee”) of a mortgage (“Mortgage”) which now or hereafter encumbers the Property, or any part thereof, Tenant covenants and agrees to subordinate Tenant’s rights under this Lease to such Mortgagee.

 

Section 18.2          Attornment. Tenant shall, in the event of the exercise of the power of sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure under any Mortgage, attorn to and recognize such purchaser as landlord under this Lease; provided that Tenant’s right of quiet enjoyment provided for in Section 5.1 of this Lease shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant shall not be in default hereunder. Tenant further covenants and agrees that, should any party so succeeding to the interest of Landlord require a separate agreement of attornment regarding the matters covered by this Lease, then Tenant shall promptly, upon request, enter into any such attornment agreement.

 

Section 18.3          Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees, upon request from Landlord, to execute, and deliver to Landlord or any potential purchaser of the premises, or to any Mortgagee or potential Mortgagee, an estoppel certificate or statement in writing certifying to all or any part of the following information as Landlord shall request, provided such facts are true and ascertainable: (i) that this Lease constitutes the

 

6


 

entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant and is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modification); (ii) the amount of Rent and the dates to which same have been paid, and that there is no prepaid Rent or other sums hereunder, and the amount of security, if any, deposited with Landlord; (iii) that the Premises have been satisfactorily completed, and that all conditions precedent to this Lease taking effect have been carried out; and (iv) that Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises, that the Term of this Lease has commenced and there are no defaults or offsets which Tenant has against enforcement of this Lease by Landlord.

 

SECTION 13:  LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES

 

During the Term or any Extension Term of this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to execute any mortgages upon its interest in the Property.

 

SECTION 14:  TENANT DEFAULT; REMEDIES; TERMINATION

 

14.1        Events of Default. The following events will be deemed to be Events of Default by the Tenant under this Agreement: (a) failure to pay any Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder when such sums become due; or (b) failure to comply with any term of this Agreement to be observed by Tenant.

 

14.2        Notice; Opportunity to Cure. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord will have the option to declare the same to be a Default hereunder by written notice to Tenant specifying the nature of such Default. In the event Tenant cures a Default arising from the events specified in Section 14.1 (a) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, or cures a Default arising from the events specified at Sections 14.1(b) within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, Landlord and Tenant will be restored to their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement as if no Event of Default had occurred.

 

14.3        Remedies. On the failure of Tenant to cure a Default within the time provided, Landlord will have the option to terminate this Agreement and the Lease Term by written notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant will immediately surrender the Property to Landlord; provided, however, that if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, and without notice or prejudice to any other remedy Landlord might have, enter and take possession of the Property and remove Tenant and Tenant’s property therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may reinstate this Agreement following Landlord’s termination by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of such termination, and cure of all Defaults and payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of Landlord incurred as a result of such Default.

 

14.4        Termination by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided herein, if there is a breach of any obligation of this Agreement by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to sixty (60) days written notice from Tenant to cure such breach, after which time Tenant may terminate this Agreement so long as such breach remains uncured. Unless a termination by Tenant results from a breach by Landlord of this Agreement which is not

 

7


 

timely cured, Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent due through the end of the Lease Term.

 

14.5        Surrender. On the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Lease Term shall also terminate, and Tenant will surrender the Property to Landlord.

 

SECTION 15:  PERFORMANCE

 

If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then following notice to Tenant, Landlord may perform such obligations and shall be entitled to reimbursement from Tenant for the reasonable costs and expenses of performing such obligations. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then following notice to Landlord, Tenant may perform such obligations and shall be entitled to reimbursement from Landlord for the reasonable costs and expenses of performing such obligations. Any reasonable costs or expenses so incurred by Tenant may be offset against its Rent.
