Landlord reserves (i) the right to sell water to other users so long as Tenant has sufficient water for its hotel/casino and any other operations upon the Premises, and (ii) reserves to itself a non-exclusive access easement across the property more particularly identified as Parcel I and described on Exhibit E hereto to the water tower property (which property is identified as Parcel H and described on Exhibit F hereto) for ingress and egress to the water tower property (provided that, upon completion of the restoration of the parking area the parties agree to revise the legal description of this easement so that the access easement follows the ingress and egress routes in said parking area and causes the least practicable interference with the parking spaces in the parking lot).  Should Tenant exercise the Option, the tower and water well shall be excluded from the sale; provided that, concurrent with any such purchase there shall be granted to Tenant and any successor owner of the Premises (including any transferee by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure of any mortgagee), and Landlord does hereby grant, an irrevocable easement and right of access and prior right to use free of charge the well, water tower and said water for its hotel/casino and other operations at the Premises (provided, that, if Tenant shall thereafter sell the Premises to a third party (which shall not be deemed to include any transfer by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure by any mortgagee of Tenant nor its assignee), such third party transferee shall be required to pay such water at rate which is from time to time charged in Hancock County for commercial users of water in the county) and a right of first refusal to purchase the well and water tower upon any sale or transfer, directly or indirectly, of the well and/or water tower.  Such easement shall run with the land and shall otherwise be in form and substance acceptable to Tenant.  (Tenant shall have the right to match any offer received by Landlord on the same terms as offered to Landlord; provided, that, should Tenant decline the offer, and the terms of the offer change in any material respects or the offer not close within 90 days thereafter, Landlord shall re-offer to Tenant the right of first refusal).  Landlord shall notify Tenant of any offers and all such offers shall be bona fide third party offers.  Tenant shall continue to maintain the well and the water tower following the closing of the purchase transaction in connection with the exercise of the Option.  In connection with the water well and water tower, Landlord does hereby grant to Tenant, during the Term and following the exercise of the Option, a non-exclusive easement over, under, above and across the water tower parcel identified as Parcel H and described on Exhibit F so that Tenant may use the water and maintain the well and water tower in accordance with the terms hereof.

Before such consent is given, the Tenant must provide to Landlord a copy of any and all plans and specifications pertaining to the Alterations and copies of any and all construction agreements.

In the event of any such default by Tenant, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant thirty (30) days written notice of such election to terminate.  In the event Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant;

 

(a)           Terminate the Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails so to do, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof.  Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise; or

 

(b)           Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof and relet the Premises and receive the rent therefor.  Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting; or

 

(c)           Enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of the Lease, except that Landlord may enter upon, and make any necessary repair to the Premises without notice to Tenant in the event of an emergency.  Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

 

21.3         Re-Entry Not Termination.  No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Article 21 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default of Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.

In the event Tenant is more than ten (10) days late in paying any installment of rent due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to four percent (4.00%) of the delinquent installment of rent.  The parties agree that the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the cost and expense that would be incurred by Landlord in processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant and that such late charge shall be paid to Landlord as liquidated damages for each delinquent payment, but the payment of such late charge shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have previously entered into a Lease Agreement with Option to Purchase, dated as of November 17, 2004, (“Original Lease”) pursuant to which Tenant has leased the Premises from Cure Land Company, LLC, as Landlord.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Original Lease.  A Memorandum of Lease providing record notice of the Original Lease and certain terms thereof was executed by Landlord and Tenant effective November 17, 2004, (“Lease Memo”) and recorded in Deed Book BB 298 at Page 287 in the office of the Chancery Clerk of Hancock County, Mississippi.

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant filed a Petition to Abandon Road Segment and Accept Alternate Segment heard and approved by the Board of Supervisors of Hancock County, Mississippi, on September 5, 2006, and thereby the county abandoned a segment of Shipyard Road adjacent to Parcels A, B, and C of the Premises and accepted a Deed of Dedication from Landlord for a segment relocating that portion of Shipyard Road to a position to improve access to and accommodate the improvements then planned for the Premises.  Said Deed of Dedication is dated September 1, 2006, and is recorded in Deed Book 2006 at Page 17118 of the aforesaid records.

 

WHEREAS, Landlord, and Tenant have operated with the understanding and now wish to amend the Original Lease to formally reflect that the abandoned segment of Shipyard Road is now included in the Premises and that the relocated segment of Shipyard Road is now excluded from the Premises.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby amend the Original Lease and Lease Memo with respect to the Premises as follows:

 

Exhibit A to both the Lease and Lease Memo is hereby amended by adding the attached “Addendum to Exhibit A.”  Landlord hereby leases and lets to Tenant and Tenant hereby rents from Landlord the Premises as the description for same is amended in the Addendum to Exhibit A, together with all easements, rights of way and appurtenances in connection therewith or thereunto belonging and the improvements constructed thereon, and the definition of “Premises” as set forth in the Original Lease is hereby so amended.

 

  

  

  

 

The Original Lease and Lease Memo are amended only as expressly set forth herein, and all other terms and conditions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Amendment as of the date set forth in the first paragraph above.
