21. ESTOPPEL, SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT:




 


1. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate to any encumbrance affecting the Premises now of record or recorded after the date of this Lease.

15











  






 


holder or beneficiary, or prospective holder or beneficiary, of a mortgage or deed of trust, by assignees of such holder or beneficiary or by prospective purchasers and that the Tenant shall be estopped from asserting claims contrary to that which is set forth in such a statement. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such documents, instruments or statements, Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's special attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and statements, and, at Landlord's election, such failure shall be a material breach of this Lease.

Any attempted assignment or sub-lettings by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this paragraph 24 shall be void. Notwithstanding any approved assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the Rent herein specified and for compliance with all of Tenant's or any assignee's or subtenant's other obligations under this Lease.

17











  






 



to make themselves co-tenants under the Lease, jointly and severally liable to Landlord for all obligations arising under the Lease.




 


1. Any assignee or sub-lessee, and all required guarantors, shall submit financial statements in a form acceptable to Landlord which establish to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction their financial ability to perform Tenant's Lease obligations and otherwise to succeed in their proposed business.

Tenant expressly waives and releases all claims against Landlord for any damage or loss to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or disposition of such property. In such event, Landlord shall have no obligation to inventory or account for such tangible personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord's costs for storing, removing and disposing of any or all of Tenant's property.


 


3. All other provisions of the Lease notwithstanding, at Landlord's option, upon the expiration of the Lease term and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant, given at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Lease term, Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost and expense, quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord in "Lease Ready Condition," as described and defined paragraph 25.06 hereof.

Further, where such signage is attached directly to the building itself, rather than as a sign panel, all such signage shall be removed and all areas of the building where the sign was attached shall be properly cleaned, repaired, patched, and, if necessary, painted or stained in order to fully repair any damage cause by the installation, maintenance and removal of such sign.


 


6. "Lease Ready Condition," as that term is used in the Lease, shall entail returning the Premises to as close to the condition as the Premises were in as originally constructed as is reasonably possible, with no interior improvements other than restrooms, dropped grid ceiling system with industry standard drop in lighting, perimeter walls to current electrical code, freshly painted interior walls, and a clean, smooth and flat concrete floor ready for new tenant finishes.

8. Tenant's obligation to observe and perform the provisions of this paragraph twenty-five shall survive the expiration of the Lease term, shall survive any other termination of the Lease, and shall survive Landlord's possession of the Premises pursuant to any provision of this Lease or as otherwise allowed by law.


 


26. HOLDING OVER: If, after the expiration Term or other termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises without a written agreement as to such possession, then such holding over shall be deemed to be a holding over upon a month-to-month tenancy under the same agreements and provisions as the Lease and for a Fixed Minimum Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent of the Fixed Minimum Rent under the Lease. However, nothing contained herein shall give Tenant the right to hold over at any time, and Landlord may exercise any and all remedies at law or equity to recover possession of the Premises, as well as to collect any damages incurred by Landlord due to failure by Tenant to vacate the Premises in accordance herewith.


 


27. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT: Upon Tenant paying the Rent herein reserved and observing and performing all of the agreements and provisions of the Lease which are to be observed and performed by Tenant, subject to the agreements and provisions of the Lease, Tenant may peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises for the Term of the Lease.

2. Upon the occurrence of any of the events of default set forth in paragraph 28.01 herein, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any prior notice or demand whatsoever:


 


(a) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part thereof, provided that such action can be taken without a breach of the peace, without being liable for prosecution of any claim of damages therefor and Tenant hereby specifically waives any and all claims for damages that may otherwise result therefrom.


 


(b) Without terminating this Lease, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part thereof, provided that such action can be taken without a breach of the peace, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and Tenant hereby specifically waives any and all claims for damages that may otherwise result therefrom; and re-let the Premises and receive the rent therefor.


 


(c) Enter upon the Premises, provided that such action can be taken without a breach of the peace, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and Tenant hereby specifically waives any and all claims for damages that may otherwise result therefrom; and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord my incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, and Tenant hereby specifically waives any and all claims for damages that may otherwise result therefrom, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.

3. In the event Landlord serves or causes to be served upon Tenant a notice to pay/for compliance or for possession pursuant to C.R.S. § 13-40-104 ("Demand Notice"), such Demand Notice shall not be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate the Lease. Further, Tenant's delivery of the Premises in compliance with a Demand Notice, or Tenant's forfeiture or Landlord's lawful reentry of the Premises, shall not serve to terminate the Lease or relieve Tenant's obligations under this Lease for any Rents or other amounts currently due hereunder, or which may become due after service of the Demand Notice until the end of the Term.


 


4. Exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the remedies herein granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by


 




  





22











  






 


Tenant, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. No such alteration of locks or other security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Landlord over the property of Tenant or others at the Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a conversion, Tenant hereby consenting, after any event of default, to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Tenant's prope11y within the Premises. All claims for damages by reason of such reentry and/or repossession and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process, to the extent permitted by law. Tenant agrees that any reentry by Landlord may be pursuant to judgment obtained in forcible detainer proceedings or other legal proceedings or without the necessity for any legal proceedings, as Landlord may elect, and Landlord shall not be liable in trespass or otherwise.


 


5.
