Section 16.03 Remedies.  In the event of any Event of Default set forth in Section 16.02 hereof, Landlord may, at its option, exercise any and all of the remedies listed below.  No such remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity, and every power and remedy given by the Lease to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and as often as the occasion may rise or may be deemed expedient.
 
(a) Landlord may, without terminating this Lease, enter upon the Premises, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in complying with Tenant’s obligation under this Lease and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, unless caused by the gross negligence of Landlord.
 
(b) Landlord may, if it elects to do so, bring suit for the collection of rents and/or any damages resulting from Tenant’s default without entering into possession of the Premises or voiding this Lease.
 
(c) Landlord may terminate this Lease after ten (10) days’ written notice to Tenant and this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in such notice.  Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises by said date, failing which, Landlord may enter upon the Premises immediately or at any subsequent time without additional notice or demand (which additional notice or demand is hereby expressly waived by Tenant) without being liable for prosecution of any claim for damages therefor, and expel Tenant and those claiming under Tenant and remove their effects without being guilty of any manner of trespass.  Tenant agrees that if Landlord shall cause Tenant’s goods or effects to be removed from the Premises pursuant to the terms hereof or of any court order, Landlord’s act of so removing such goods or effects shall be deemed to be the act of and for the account of Tenant.
 
 
19

(e) Without waiving its rights to terminate at any time as provided above, Landlord may retake possession of the Premises in the same manner as provided in Section 16.03(a) above.  It is agreed that any such retaking or the commencement and prosecution of any action by Landlord in forcible entry and detainer, ejectment or otherwise, or any execution of any judgment or decree obtained in any action to recover possession of the Premises shall not be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless Landlord expressly exercises its option hereinbefore provided to declare the Term hereof ended, whether or not such entry or reentry be, had or taken under summary proceedings or otherwise, and shall not be deemed to have absolved or discharged Tenant from any of its obligations and liabilities for the remainder of the current Term of the Lease; rather, this Lease shall continue in effect for the remainder of the then current Term, and Tenant shall remain liable and obligated under all of the covenants and conditions hereof during the said period and shall pay as and when due the Rent and other amounts payable hereunder as if Tenant had not defaulted.  Landlord may re-lease the Premises for the account of Tenant, crediting the rent received on such re­leasing first to the costs of such re-leasing and then to any other amounts owing by Tenant hereunder.  Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to take any and all actions necessary or incidental to such re-leasing and this power shall be irrevocable during the Term of this Lease.  Such continuance of this Lease shall not constitute any waiver or consent by Landlord of or to said default or any subsequent default.
 
Section 16.04 Landlord’s Damages.  In addition to the foregoing remedies and regardless of which remedies Landlord pursues, Tenant covenants that it will indemnify Landlord from and against any loss and damage directly or indirectly sustained by reason of any termination resulting from any Event of Default as provided above or the enforcement or declaration of any rights and remedies of Landlord or obligations of Tenant, whether arising under this Lease or granted, permitted or imposed by Law or otherwise.  Landlord’s damages hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to, any loss of Rent prior to or after re­leasing the Premises, broker’s or salesperson’s commissions, advertising costs, costs of repairing and remodeling the Premises for re-leasing, moving and storage charges incurred by Landlord in moving Tenant’s property and effects, and legal costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in any proceedings resulting from Tenant’s default, collecting any damages hereunder, obtaining possession of the Premises by summary process or otherwise or re-leasing the Premises, or the enforcement or declaration of any of the rights or remedies of Landlord or obligations of Tenant, whether arising under this Lease or granted, permitted or imposed by Law or otherwise.  In the event that any court or governmental authority shall limit any amount which Landlord may be entitled to recover under this paragraph, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the maximum amount permitted under Law.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to limit Landlord’s recovery from Tenant of the maximum amount permitted under Law or of any other sums or damages which Landlord may be entitled to so recover in addition to the damages set forth herein.

Section 16.05 Non-waiver of Defaults.  No delay or omission of Landlord to execute any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein.  No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach, or waiver or acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant.  Receipt by Landlord of less than the full amount due from Tenant shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the amounts then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment as a partial payment only.  The rights herein given to receive, collect, sue or distrain for any rent or rents, monies or payments, or to enforce the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, or to prevent the breach or nonobservance thereof, or the exercise of any such right or of any other right or remedy hereunder or otherwise granted or arising, shall not in any way affect or impair or take away the right or power of Landlord to declare the Term hereby granted ended and to terminate this Lease as herein provided because of any default in or breach of any of the covenants, provisions or conditions of this Lease.
 
ARTICLE XVII
PROTECTION OF LENDERS
 
Section 17.01 Subordination.  This Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder are and shall be subordinate and inferior to any ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering all or any portion of the Building Complex, any advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded.  If any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease rank prior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof.
 
Section 17.02 Attornment.  If Landlord’s interest in the Building Complex is acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Building Complex and shall recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease.  Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate the Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest.
 
 
21

 
 
Section 17.03 Signing of Documents.  Tenant shall sign and deliver any instrument or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any such attornment or subordination or agreement to do so.  Such subordination and attornment documents may contain such provisions as are customarily required by any ground lessor or beneficiary under a deed of trust or mortgage.  If Tenant fails to do so within five (5) days after written request, Tenant shall be in default under this Lease and further hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, or any transferee or successor of Landlord, the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such instrument or document.
 
Section 17.04 Estoppel Certificates.  Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying:  (a) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (b) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated; (c) the last date of payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other charges and the time period covered by such payment; (d) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating why); and (e) such other matters as may be reasonably required by Landlord or the holder of a mortgage, deed of trust or lien to which the Premises is or becomes subject.  Tenant shall deliver such statement to Landlord within five (5) days after Landlord’s request or Tenant shall be in default under this Lease.  Any such statement by Tenant may be given by Landlord to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.  Such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.  Unless Landlord has received a written statement to the contrary within such five (5) day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts:  (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) unless provided otherwise, that not more than one month’s Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under the Lease.  In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts.
 
Section 17.05 Tenant’s Financial Condition.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, from time to time upon request of Landlord, such financial statements as are reasonably required by Landlord to verify the net worth of Tenant or any assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant.  In addition, Tenant shall deliver to any lender designated by Landlord, from time to time upon request of Landlord, any financial statements required by such lender to facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Premises.  Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each such financial statement is a true and accurate statement as of the date of such statement.  All financial statements shall be confidential and shall be used only for the purposes set forth herein.
 
ARTICLE XVIII
WAIVER OF CLAIMS
 
Tenant agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by Law, Landlord and its lenders, officers, agents, servants and employees shall not be liable for (nor shall Rent abate as a result of) any direct or consequential damage (including damage claimed for actual or constructive eviction) either to person or property sustained by Tenant, its subtenants, assigns, officers, servants, employees, agents, invitees or guests due to the Building or any part thereof or any appurtenances thereof becoming out of repair, or due to the happening of any accident in or about said Building, or due to any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of said Building or of any other person.  This provision shall apply particularly (but not exclusively) to damage caused by water, snow, frost, steam, sewage, gas, electricity, sewer gas or odors or by the bursting, leaking or dripping of pipes, faucets and plumbing fixtures and windows, and shall apply without distinction as to the person whose act or neglect was responsible for the damage and whether the damage was due to any of the causes specifically enumerated above or to some other cause of an entirely different kind.  Tenant further agrees that all of Tenant’s fixtures, equipment and all other personal property in the Premises, the Building the Building Complex or the Common Areas shall be at the risk of Tenant only and that Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage thereto or theft thereof.  In no event shall Landlord have any liability or responsibility for lost business, lost profits, loss or interruption of business or any other special, consequential, indirect or incidental damage suffered by Tenant if Landlord is unable to provide utilities or services or Additional Services to Tenant or if Tenant is unable to use or access the Premises for any reason other than Landlord’s gross negligence and bad faith.

ARTICLE XXI

Section 23.05 Relationship of the Parties.  Landlord and Tenant agree that the relationship between them is that of landlord and tenant and that Landlord is leasing space to Tenant.  It is not the intention of the parties, nor shall anything herein be constructed to constitute Landlord as a partner or joint venturer with Tenant, or as a “warehouseman” or a “bailee”.
