A. Total or Partial Taking. If all or substantially all of the Premises is condemned or taken in any manner for public or quasi-public use, including but not limited to, a conveyance or assignment in lieu of the condemnation or taking, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the earlier of the date on which actual physical possession is taken by the condemnor or the date of dispossession of Tenant as a result of such condemnation or other taking. If less than all or substantial all of the Premises is so condemned or taken and Tenant is able to successfully continue the conduct of its business and the balance of the Premises, this Lease shall automatically terminate only as to the portion of the Premises so taken as of the earlier of the date on which actual physical possession is taken by the condemnor or the date of dispossession of Tenant as a result of such condemnation or taking.

B. Award. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award in any condemnation proceeding or other proceeding for taking for public or quasi-public use, including, without limitation, any award made for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease.

Although all damages in the event of any condemnation are to belong to Landlord whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemnor, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of damages to Tenant’s business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which Tenant might be put in removing Tenant’s merchandise, furniture and other personal property, fixtures, and equipment or for the interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business.
C. Abatement of Monthly Rent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be an abatement of Monthly Rent in the event of a partial condemnation or other taking that does not result in a termination of this Lease as to the entire Premises pursuant to this Section XVIII. In such event, the Monthly Rent and all other rental charges shall abate in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken by such condemnation or other taking. If this Lease is terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section XVIII, all rentals and other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder and attributable to the Premises taken shall be paid up to the date upon which actual physical possession shall be taken by the condemnor.

Such month-to-month tenancy will be subject to every other term, condition, and covenant contained to this Lease. Any holding over without Landlord’s consent shall constitute a default by Tenant and shall entitle Landlord to the remedies set forth herein and otherwise available at law.
SECTION XVI. | DEFAULT |
A. Tenant’s Default. The failure by Tenant to perform any one or more of the following obligations shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:
(1) If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises for more than thirty (30) days without Landlord’s prior written consent (except in the case of eminent domain or destruction).
(2) If Tenant fails to pay any rent or other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease and such failure continues for five (5) days after Tenant has received written notification of such failure.
(3) If Tenant involuntarily transfers Tenant’s interest in this Lease or voluntarily transfers (attempted or actual) its interest in this Lease, without Landlord’s prior written consent.

(5) If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a party, a trustee, a receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take charge of the Premises or any of Tenant’s personal property located at the Premises (or has the authority to do so) for the purpose of enforcing a lien against the Premises or Tenant’s personal property and the same is not discharged within sixty (60) days.
(6) If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that, if the failure cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, so long as Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days and thereafter prosecutes the same to conclusion, such long period (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days as shall reasonably be required for such cure.

(1) The rights and remedies to recover from Tenant upon termination of the Lease:
(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Landlord could reasonably have avoided;
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount, if any, by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the fair rental value of the Premises; and
(2) The rights and remedies which allow Landlord to continue this Lease in effect and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent and any other additional monetary charges as they become due, for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession less the amount thereof Landlord did recover or with reasonable diligence could have recovered by reletting the Premises. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to protect its interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.
(3) The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant in accordance with applicable law.
(4) The right and power to enter the Premises and remove therefrom all persons and property, to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. Landlord may from time to time sublet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the Term) and at such rent and such other terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations in and repairs to the Premises. Upon each such subletting, Tenant shall be immediately liable for payment to Landlord of the cost of such subletting and such alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord, if any. Any amounts received by Landlord from such subletting shall be applied first toward the cost of any alterations or repairs made to the Premises in connection with such subletting; second, to payment of Monthly Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Operating Costs, and other monetary obligations due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Monthly Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Operating Costs, and other monetary obligations as the same become due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such subletting and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the subtenant(s), or if such rentals received from such subletting during any month are less than those paid to Landlord by the subtenant, or if such rentals received from such subletting during any month are less than those 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 taking possession of the Premises by Landlord, under this Section XXI(B)(4), shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
(5) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease and if Landlord shall give to Tenant notice in writing of such default specifying the nature thereof, and if Tenant shall fail to cure such default within the time herein provided or immediately if such default requires emergency action, Landlord may, in addition to its other legal and equitable remedies, cure such default for the account of and at the cost and expense of Tenant, and the sums so expended by Landlord, including reasonable legal fees, shall be deemed to be additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant on the day when rent shall next become due and payable.
C. Remedies Cumulative. No reference to nor exercise of any specific right or remedy by Landlord shall prejudice or preclude Landlord from exercising or invoking any other remedy in respect thereof, whether allowed at law or in equity or expressly provided for herein, except to the extent, if any, expressly limited by the provisions of this Lease. No such remedy shall be exclusive or dependent upon any other such remedy, but either party may from time to time exercise any one (1) or more of such remedies independently or in combination. No provision of this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain, as damages by reason of any termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, regardless of whether such amount is greater, equal to, or less than any amounts that may be referred to in this Section XXI.

D. Landlord’s Default. If Landlord fails to promptly and fully perform any of its covenants, conditions or agreements contained in this Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord, such failure shall constitute a default hereunder by Landlord.

In addition to the foregoing, a returned check charge of $25.00 will be assessed for all rent payments returned for any reason. In the event of a returned check, Landlord may require Tenant to pay future rent payments by certified funds, cashier’s check, or money order. Landlord is under no obligation to accept two party checks or partial payments. Tenant shall not withhold rent for any reason.
B. Interest on Late Payments. At Landlord’s option, any amount due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of four percent (4%) above the Prime Rate being quoted by The Wall Street Journal or the maximum rate permitted by law from the date such payment is due until paid, except that amounts spent by Landlord on behalf of Tenant shall bear interest at such rate from the date Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such disbursement by Landlord.
C. No Waiver. Neither assessment nor acceptance of any late charge or interest by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default (if any) with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Section XXIV shall be deemed to condone, authorize, sanction or grant to Tenant an option for the late payment of rent, additional rent or other sums due hereunder, and Tenant shall be deemed in default with regard to any such payments should the same not be made by the date on which they are due.
SECTION XVIII. | RELEASE AND PARTY IN INTEREST |
Tenant agrees that in the event Tenant shall have any claim against Landlord under this Lease arising out of the subject matter of this Lease, Tenant’s sole recourse shall be against Landlord’s interest in the Project and Tenant further hereby waives any and all right to assert any claim against or obtain any damages from, for any reason whatsoever, the directors, officers and partners of Landlord.
SECTION XIX. | NOTICES |
Any notice, demand, approval, consent, bill, statement or other communication required or desired to be given under this Lease in writing shall be directed to Tenant at Tenant’s Address or to Landlord at Landlord’s Address and shall be personally served or given by mail. If such notice is mailed, the same shall be deemed to have been given when three (3) days have elapsed from the date of the deposit into the United States Mail, certified and postage prepaid.
SECTION XX. | QUIET ENJOYMENT |
Upon payment by Tenant of the rents herein provided, and upon the observance and performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Landlord shall warrant and defend Tenant against all Persons claiming under, by or through Landlord, in the quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises during the Term.

SECTION XXI. | Miscellaneous |

This Lease is submitted to Tenant and the understanding that will not be considered an offer and will not bind Landlord in any way until (i) Tenant has dually executed and delivered duplicate originals to Landlord and (ii) Landlord has executed and delivered one of such originals to Tenant.
B. No Construction against Drafting Party. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that each of them and their counsel have had an opportunity to review this Lease and that this Lease will not be construed against Landlord merely because Landlord’s counsel had prepared it.
C. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Lease are for the purposes of convenience only. They shall not be construed to limit or to extend the meaning of any part of this Lease.
D. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all agreements of Landlord and Tenant with respect to any matter mentioned, or dealt with, herein.

E. No Waiver. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any agreement, condition, or provision contained in this Lease will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition, or provisions contained in this Lease, nor will any custom or practice that may grow up between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease be construed to waive or lesson the right of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the performance by the other in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of rent by Landlord will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any agreement, condition, or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.
F. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of each provision of this Lease.
