An Assignment consummated in violation of the provisions of this Article XIV shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
SECTION 14.02. OPTION TO TERMINATE.

Any Assignment disapproved by Landlord’s lender;

Any Assignment resulting in a change of Permitted Use from that specified in Section 1.01(F);

However, any Assignment to a parent corporation, or to a successor corporation acquiring substantially all the assets of Tenant, and intending to operate Tenant’s business under the same trade name, shall be deemed reasonable.
Consent by Landlord to one (1) or more Assignments shall not constitute a waiver or consent to any subsequent Assignment nor exhaust Landlord’s rights under this Article XIV; nor shall acceptance of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment from Assignee be deemed a waiver or consent by Landlord or an acceptance of such Assignment. Any Assignment without such Landlord’s consent shall be void and of no force and effect and shall confer no estate or benefit on anyone, nor shall Landlord be required to terminate this Lease in order to invalidate such Assignment.
SECTION 14.05. DOCUMENTATION OF ASSIGNMENT.

ARTICLE XVII. DESTRUCTION OF THE LEASED PREMISES
SECTION 17.01. DESTRUCTION.
(a) If the Leased Premises is partially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty insurable under standard fire insurance policies with extended coverage endorsement so as to become partially or totally untenantable, the same shall be repaired or rebuilt as speedily as practical under the circumstances at the expense of Landlord, unless Landlord elects not to repair or rebuild as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 17.01. During the period required for restoration, a just and proportionate part of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall be abated until the Leased Premises is repaired or rebuilt.
(b) If the Leased Premises is (i) rendered totally untenantable by reason of an occurrence described in subsection (a) of this Section 17.01, or (ii) damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk which is not insured under Landlord’s fire insurance policies, or (iii) at least twenty percent (20%) damaged or destroyed during the last two (2) years of the Rental Term, or (iv) if the Building is damaged in whole or in part (whether or not the Leased Premises is damaged), to such an extent that Tenant cannot practically use the Leased Premises for its intended purpose, then and in any such events Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of such occurrence. Unless Landlord gives such notice, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall repair such damage at its expense as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances.
(c) If Landlord should elect or be obligated, pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 17.01, to repair or rebuild because of any damage or destruction, Landlord’s obligation shall be limited to the original Building and any other work or improvements which may have been originally performed or installed at Landlord’s expense. If the cost of performing Landlord’s obligation exceeds the actual proceeds of insurance paid or payable to Landlord on account of such casualty, Landlord may terminate this Lease unless Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, deposits with Landlord a sum of money sufficient to pay the difference between the cost of repair and the proceeds of the insurance available for such purpose. Tenant shall replace all work and improvements not originally installed or performed by Landlord at its expense.
(d) Except as stated in this Article XVII, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by Tenant by reason of casualties mentioned hereinabove or any other accidental casualty.
ARTICLE XVIII. CONDEMNATION
SECTION 18.01. CONDEMNATION. As used in this Section 18.01, the term “Condemnation Proceeding(s)” means any action or proceeding in which any interest in the Leased Premises or the Building is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful authority through exercise of the power of eminent domain or right of condemnation or by purchase or otherwise in lieu thereof. If the whole of the Leased Premises is taken through Condemnation Proceedings, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority. If in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Leased Premises is taken, either party hereto shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving the other written notice of such election at any time within thirty (30) days after the date of taking. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the space is taken and Landlord determines, in Landlord’s sole discretion, that a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof shall not result in the Leased Premises or the Building becoming a practical improvement reasonably suitable for use for the purpose for which it is designed, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days written notice as provided hereinabove. In all other cases, or if neither party exercises its option to terminate, this Lease shall remain in effect and the rent payable hereunder from and after the date of taking shall be proportionately reduced in proportion to the ratio of: (i) the area contained in the Leased Premises which is capable of occupancy after the taking; to (ii) the total area contained in the Leased Premises which was capable of occupancy prior to the taking. In the event of any termination or rental reduction provided for in this Section 18.01, there shall be a proration of the rent payable under this Lease and Landlord shall refund any excess theretofore paid by Tenant. Whether or not this Lease is terminated as a consequence of Condemnation Proceedings, all damages or compensation awarded for a partial or total taking, including any sums compensating Tenant for diminution in the value of or deprivation of its leasehold estate, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord, except that Tenant shall be entitled to any awards intended to compensate Tenant for expenses of locating and moving Tenant’s operations to a new space.

ARTICLE XIX. DEFAULT OF TENANT
SECTION 19.01. DEFAULT - RIGHT TO RE-ENTER.

Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, without evidence of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Tenant hereby waives all compensation for the forfeiture of the Rental Term or its loss of possession of the Leased Premises in the event of the forfeiture of this Lease as provided for above. Any notice that Landlord may desire or is required to give Tenant with reference to the foregoing provision may, in lieu of mailing, at the option of Landlord, be conspicuously posted for ten (10) consecutive days at the main entrance to or in front of the Leased Premises, and such notice shall constitute a good, sufficient, and lawful notice for the purpose of declaring a forfeiture of this Lease and for terminating all of the rights of Tenant hereunder.
SECTION 19.02. DEFAULT - RIGHT TO RE-LET. Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as provided herein, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to re-let the Leased Premises, and may re-let the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Rental Term of this Lease) and at such rent or rental income and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each re-letting, all rental income received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rents due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting, including brokerage fees and attorneys’ fees and costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rents due and unpaid hereunder; and fourth, the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rental income received from such re-letting during any month is less than those payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency immediately to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rents and other charges equivalent to rents reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated Rental Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Rental Term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.
SECTION 19.03. LEGAL EXPENSES. In case of default by either party in the performance and obligations under this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay all costs incurred in enforcing this Lease, or any right arising out of the breach thereof, whether by suit or otherwise, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

ARTICLE XX. BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR RECEIVERSHIP
SECTION 20.01. RIGHT OF TERMINATION. It is intended that neither this Lease, nor any interest therein nor any estate thereby created, shall pass to any trustee or receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors or otherwise by operation of law. The parties acknowledge that the Permitted Use covenant described in Section 1.01(F) and in Section 7.01 was a motivating consideration in Landlord’s approval of this Lease. Accordingly, should any of the following events occur, Landlord may terminate this Lease and any interest of Tenant therein, effective upon commencement of the event:
(a) If proceedings are instituted whereby all, or substantially all, of Tenant’s assets are placed in the hands of a receiver, conservator, trustee or assignee for the benefit of Tenant’s creditors, and such proceedings are not dismissed within thirty (30) days;
(b) If any creditor of Tenant institutes judicial or administrative process to execute on, attach or otherwise seize any of Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or personal property located on the Leased Premises and Tenant fails to discharge, set aside, exonerate by posting a bond, or otherwise obtain a release of such property within thirty (30) days;
(c) If Tenant becomes a debtor in any case filed under the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in Section 20.02) or similar law providing relief to bankrupt or insolvent debtors;
(d) If any of the foregoing events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of this Lease.

SECTION 20.02. BANKRUPTCY. If Landlord shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided because of the provisions of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy (“Bankruptcy Code”), then Tenant as a debtor-in-possession or any trustee for Tenant agrees promptly, within no more than fifteen (15) days upon request by Landlord to the “Bankruptcy Court”, to assume or reject this Lease and Tenant on behalf of itself, and any trustee agrees not to seek or request any extension or adjournment of any application to assume or reject this Lease by Landlord with such Bankruptcy Court. In such event, Tenant or any trustee for Tenant may only assume this Lease if (a) it cures or provides adequate assurance that the trustees shall promptly cure any default hereunder, (b) compensates or provides adequate assurance that Tenant shall promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from Tenant’s defaults, and (c) provides adequate assurance of performance during the fully stated Rental Term hereof of all the terms, covenants, and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. In no event after the assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth herein. Adequate assurance of performance of this Lease, as set forth hereinabove, shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance (1) of the source of rent reserved hereunder, (2) that the assumption of this Lease shall not breach any provision hereunder, and (3) that business operated shall comply with the Permitted Use covenants set forth in Sections 1.01(F) and 7.01. In the event of a filing of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with any services or utilities as herein required, unless Tenant shall have paid and be current in all payments of utilities or other charges therefor. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s costs incurred as a result of Tenant’s insolvency and/or bankruptcy proceedings including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of Landlord’s participation in and/or monitoring of Tenant’s insolvency proceeding.

During the ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Rental Term, or any Rental Term extension or renewal thereof, Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants and place upon the Leased Premises the usual notices “To Let” or “For Rent” which notices Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation.

In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant as set forth in Article XX, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due to Landlord for the earliest possible periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. Landlord shall not be obliged to keep the Security Deposit as a separate fund, but may mix the same with its own funds.
SECTION 26.02. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE SECURITY DEPOSIT. Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit to the purchaser or assignee of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.

ARTICLE XXVII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 27.01. WAIVER. One (1) or more waivers of any covenant or condition by Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant or condition and the consent or approval to or of any subsequent or similar act by Tenant. The subsequent acceptance of rents hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rents so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rents. No breach of a covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord.
SECTION 27.02. ENTIRE LEASE AGREEMENT.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties herein, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant. Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders.
The laws of the state where the Building is situated shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease. Although the printed provisions of this Lease were drawn by Landlord, this Lease shall not be construed either for or against Landlord or Tenant, but this Lease shall be interpreted in accordance with the general tenor of the language in an effort to reach an equitable result.
The parties agree that any deletion of language from this Lease prior to mutual execution by Landlord and Tenant shall not be construed to have any particular meaning or to raise any presumption or implication, including without limitation, any implication that the parties intended thereby to state the converse or opposite of the deleted language. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, if any provision of this Lease is capable of two (2) constructions, one (1) of which would render the provision void and one (1) of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.
SECTION 27.04. FORCE MAJEURE.

This provision in no way creates any third party beneficiary rights in any party, nor does it create any liability on the part of Tenant to pay any or all of the commission due Tenant’s broker or Landlord’s broker. Further, Landlord shall hold Tenant harmless from and against any claim by Tenant’s broker stemming from Landlord’s broker’s failure to pay Tenant’s broker its commission split.

SECTION 27.13. NO OPTION. The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute a reservation of, or option for, the Leased Premises. This Lease becomes effective as a lease only upon full execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.
SECTION 27.14. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION. Tenant herein covenants by and for itself, its heirs, executors, administrators and assigns and all persons claiming under or through it, and this Lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions: That there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, sex, marital status, color, creed, national origin or ancestry, in the leasing, subleasing, assigning, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Leased Premises, nor shall Tenant itself, or any person claiming under or through it, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, sublessees, or subtenants in the Leased Premises.
SECTION 27.15. SEVERABILITY.

Tenant and Landlord both waive a trial by jury of any or all issues arising in any action or proceeding between the parties hereto or their successors, under or relating to this Lease, or any of its provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not prohibit Tenant from bringing any claim it may have against Landlord in a separate and distinct proceeding.
