(a)   Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity (except Tenant’s authorized representatives) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without the Landlord’s written consent shall be void able and at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default hereunder.  No consent to any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this Section.




(b)   If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, of any partner/or partners owing 50% or more of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment.




(c)   If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote for the election of directors, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment.




(d)   Landlord may consent to the sublease of all or any part of the Premises provided Tenant and the sub lessee enter into a sublease incorporating the same terms and conditions as contained herein (exclusive of rent), and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the total amount of any increased Rent, including sales tax, paid by a sub lessee or assignee.




(e)   Any assignment agreed to by Landlord shall be evidenced by a validly executed Assignment and Assumption of Lease Agreement.  Any attempted transfer, assignment, subletting, mortgaging or encumbering of this Lease in violation of this Section shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person.  Such attempt shall constitute a material breach of this Lease and entitle Landlord to the remedies provided for default.




(f)   If, without such prior written consent, this Lease is transferred or assigned by Tenant, or if the Premises, or any part thereof, are sublet or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant, whether as a result of any act or omission by Tenant, or by operation of law or otherwise, Landlord may, in addition to and not in diminution of, or substitution for, any other rights and remedies under this Lease, or pursuant to law to which Landlord may be entitled as a result thereof, collect Rent directly from the transferee, assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved.




Section 11.2     Tenant’s Liability.    Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, and  notwithstanding the acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any such assignee or sub lessee, Tenant shall continue to remain liable for the payment of Rent hereunder and for the performance of all agreements, conditions, covenants and terms herein contained,




Section 11.3  Landlord’s Right of Cancellation.     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, should Tenant desire to assign the Lease or sublease the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cancel or terminate the Lease and deal with Tenant’s prospective assignee or sublessee directly and without any obligation to Tenant.  In this event, Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under this Lease shall terminate.

Section 11.4     Landlord’s Transfer.      Landlord shall have the right to sell, mortgage, or otherwise encumber or dispose of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, the Building, the Property and this Lease.




Section 11.5

Minimum Rental Requirement.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this ARTICLE XI or in this Lease, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises provided said rental rate is not less than that rental amount that is being paid for other space within the Building.  Otherwise, Tenant shall not, under any circumstances, assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof until at lease ninety (90%) percent of the rentable space in the Building has been leased by Landlord.




ARTICLE XII




OBLIGATIONS




Section 12.1     Obligations of Tenant.      Tenant shall, during the Term of this Lease, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all valid laws, ordinances, regulations, orders and requirements of any governmental authority which may now or hereafter be applicable to the Premises or to its use, whether or not the same shall interfere with the use or occupancy of the Premises, arising from (a) Tenant’s use of the Premises; (b) the manner or conduct of Tenant’s business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property therein; (c) any cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant; or (d) breach of any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, whether or not such compliance requires work which is structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen; and Tenant shall pay all of the costs, expenses, fines, penalties and damages which may be imposed upon Landlord by reason or arising out of Tenant’s failure to fully and promptly comply with and observe the provisions of this Section.

ARTICLE XIII




RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM TENANT’S COVENANTS




Section 13.1     Payment or Performance.     Landlord shall have the right, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant (or without notice in case of emergency or in order to avoid any fine, penalty, or cost which may otherwise be imposed or incurred), following the expiration of any applicable cure period, to make any payment or perform any act required of Tenant under any provision in this Lease, and in exercising such right, to incur necessary and incidental costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees.  Nothing herein shall imply any obligation on the part of Landlord to make any payment or perform any act required of Tenant, and the exercise of the right to do so shall not constitute a release of any obligation.






13

 




Section 13.2     Reimbursement.

All payments made and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with Landlord’s exercise of the right set forth in Section 13.1, shall be reimbursed by Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of a bill setting forth the amounts so expended, together with interest at the annual rate of 18% from the respective dates of the making of such payments or the incurring of such costs and expenses.  Any such payments, costs and expenses made or incurred by Landlord may be treated as Additional Rent owed by Tenant.

Section 14.1     Non-Liability of Landlord.

Neither Landlord, nor any beneficiary, joint venture partner, agent, servant, or employee of Landlord, nor any Superior Mortgagee (as defined in Article XIX below), shall be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury, or damage to Tenant or to any other person, or to its property, unless caused by or resulting from the negligence or intentional wrongful act of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees, in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or the Building, subject to the doctrine of comparative negligence in the event of contributory negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants, licensees, employees, agents or contractors.  Tenant recognizes that any Superior Mortgagee will not be liable to Tenant for injury, damage or loss caused by or resulting from the negligence of Landlord.  Further, neither Landlord, or any Superior Mortgagee, nor any joint venture partner, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be liable (a) for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in, upon or about the Building, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work; or (b) for incidental or consequential damages or lost profits arising out of any loss of use of the Premises, or any equipment or facilities therein, by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.

Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages, liability, and expenses which may arise in connection with bodily, loss of life, and/or damage to property arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, or at the Demised Premises, or the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned totally or in part by any negligent act or omission of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, or subtenants unless such damages due to the negligent act or omission of Landlord, its agents or employees.  In case Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant in connection with the Demised Premises, Tenant hereby agrees to hold Landlord harmless and pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such litigation.  Tenant also agrees to pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees which may be incurred by Landlord in enforcing the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.  To the maximum effect permitted by law, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Demised Premises at Tenant’s own risk.  




Section 14.3     Independent Obligations; Force Majeure.      The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord have any liability whatsoever to Tenant, because (a) Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Lease by reason of strike, other labor trouble, governmental pre-emption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency or shortages of fuel, supplies, labor or materials, acts of God or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; or (b) of any failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of electricity or water furnished to the Premises, by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility or others serving the Building with electric energy, steam, oil, gas or water, or for any other reason whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.

Tenant shall be in default under this Lease if any one or more of the following events shall occur:




(a)   Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the Rent and/or any expenses called for hereunder as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after the same is due; or




(b)   Tenant shall default in the performance of or compliance with any of the other terms or provisions of this Lease, and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or, in the case of any such default which cannot, with bona fide due diligence, be cured within said thirty (30) days, Tenant shall fail to proceed within said thirty (30) day period to cure such default and thereafter to prosecute the curing of same with all due diligence (it being intended that as to a default not susceptible of being cured with due diligence within such period of thirty (30) days, the time within which such default may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to permit the same to be cured with due diligence); or

 

(c)   Tenant shall assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease or sublet the Premises in a manner not permitted by ARTICLE XI; or

(e)   If any creditor of Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy against Tenant or for reorganization of Tenant, under state or federal law, and if such petition is not discharged within ninety (90) days after the date on which it is filed; or




(f)   Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Premises, then, and in any such event, or during the continuance thereof (subject to the time period described in subparagraph (e) above), Landlord may, at its option, by written notice to Tenant, designate a date not less than five (5) days from the giving of such notice on which this Lease shall end, and thereupon, on such date, this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall terminate.




Section 15.2     Surrender of Premises.

                Section 15.3      Reletting.

At any time or from time to time after any such termination of this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof, in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms and on such conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the rents therefore.  Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting.  




Section 15.4     Survival of Obligations.

No termination, pursuant to this ARTICLE XV, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations under this Lease, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such termination.




Section 15.5     Holdover.

Said monthly tenancy shall be subject to all the conditions and covenants of this Lease as though the same had been a tenancy at sufferance instead of a tenancy as provided herein, and Tenant shall give to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any intention to vacate the Premises, and shall be entitled to ten business (10) days prior notice of any intention of Landlord to evict Tenant from the Premises in the event Landlord desires possession of the Premises; however, that said Tenant at sufferance shall not be entitled to ten business (10) days notice in the event the said Rent is not paid in advance without demand, the ten business (10) days written notice otherwise required being hereby expressly waived.










ARTICLE XVI




DAMAGES/REMEDIES




Section 16.1     Damages.

In the event this Lease is terminated under the provisions or any provisions of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as damages, at the election of Landlord either:




(a)

The present value of the entire amount of the Rent which would have become due and payable during the remainder of the Term of this Lease, in which event Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, together with all Rent theretofore due, at Landlord’s address as provided herein; provided however, that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture or liquidated damages, but shall merely constitute payment in advance of the Rent for the remainder of said Term.  Such present value shall be determined utilizing a discount rate of six (6%).  The acceptance of such payment by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any failure of Tenant thereafter occurring to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease.  IF Landlord elects the remedy given in this Section 16.1 (a), then same shall be Landlord’s sole remedy for such default; or

 

(b)

Sums equal to the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not been so terminated, payable upon the due dates therefore following such termination through the expiration of this Lease.









16







If Landlord at its option shall relet the Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents, as and when received by Landlord, the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and in securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, the alteration and preparation of the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom.  It is hereby understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sum payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant hereto to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such rents are actually received by Landlord.




Section 16.2     Remedies.    Lawsuits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term of this Lease would have expired, nor limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant.  All remedies of Landlord provided for herein, or otherwise at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent.

EMINENT DOMAIN




Section 17.1     Taking.

If the whole of the building or the Premises, or, if more than 20% of the Building or the Property, shall be taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, which materially affects Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title as a result of such taking, and the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date.




Section 17.2     Award.

Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection with any taking without deduction there from, except to the extent that Tenant shall be entitled to compensation based upon damages sustained to Tenant’s Property.

Section 17.3     Temporary Taking.      If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award or payment for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises, for the taking of Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Premises.  This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent in full when due.  If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration date of this Lease, that part of the award which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period up to and including such expiration date and Landlord shall receive so much as represents the period after such expiration date.  All monies received by Landlord as, or as part of, an award for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date through which the Rent has been paid by Tenant, shall be held and applied by Landlord as a credit against the Rent becoming due hereunder.






17







Section 17.4     Partial Taking.

In the event of any taking of less than the whole of the Premises, the Building and/or the Property, which does not result in termination of this Lease: (a) subject to the prior rights of a Superior Mortgagee, Landlord, at its expense, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair the remaining parts of the Building and the Premises (other than those parts of the Premises which are Tenant’s Property) to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same is feasible (subject to reasonable changes which Landlord shall deem desirable), so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Building and Premises; and (b) Tenant, at its expense, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair the remaining parts of the Premises which are deemed Tenant’s property pursuant hereto, to substantially their former condition to the extent feasible, subject to reasonable changes which Tenant shall deem desirable.  Such work by Tenant shall be deemed alterations as described in Section 11.1 hereinabove.  In the event of any partial taking, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term following such partial taking based upon the percentage of space taken relative to the original Premises leased.

Section 19.3     Attornment.

If any Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord hereunder, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then, at the request of such Superior Mortgagee, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Superior Mortgagee as Tenant’s Landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument such Superior Mortgagee may reasonable request to evidence such attornment.  Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between such Superior Mortgagee and Tenant, upon all terms, conditions, and covenants as set forth in this Lease, except that the Superior Mortgagee shall not: (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under this Lease; (b) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided for in this Lease; or (c)  be bound by any previous modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been previously approved in writing by such Superior Mortgagee.

Section 23.2     Environmental Indemnity.

Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, liability, damages, injuries to person, property, or natural resources, cost, expense, action or cause of action, arising in connection with the release or presence of any “Hazardous Substances” at the Premises, through the acts of Tenant, its employees, agents or invitees acting with Tenant’s authority, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, during the term and occupancy of the premises by Tenant.

Section 23.6     Estoppel Certificates.

Each party agrees, at any time and from time to time as requested by the other party, to execute and deliver to the other a statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), certifying the dates to which the Base Rent have been paid, stating whether or not the other party is in default in performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default, and stating whether or not any event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, and, if so, specifying each such event.  Each party shall also include in any such statements such other information concerning this Lease as the other party may reasonably request.
