13.4 Late Charges: Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment of Lessee to
Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee’s share of Operating Expense Increase or other sums
due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late
charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust
deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment of
Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, even, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor’s late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payments by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
14. Condemnation. If the premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building
Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of
the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called” condemnation”), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs: provided that if so
much of the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such
condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
profitability of Lessee’s business conducted from the Premises, Lessee shall
have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty(30) days after
Lessor shall given Lessee written notice of such taking for in the absence of
such notice, within thirty(30) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession, to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Lessee’s
Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in this proportion that the
floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises.
Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by lessee and
no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof,
Lessor shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as
of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written
notice to lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office
Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or
the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment
made under threat of the exercise of such power shall by the property of Lessor,
whether such award shall be made as compensation for elimination in value of the
leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages: provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or
damage to Lessee’s trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized
tenant improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that purpose the cost
of such improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease
excluding any options. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received
by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been
reimbursed therefore by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in
excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.
