2. PREMISES.
2.1 LETTING. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases
from Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the
terms, covenants and conditions
2
set forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise provided herein, any statement of size
set forth in this Lease, or that may have been used in calculating rental, is an
approximation which the Parties agree is reasonable and the rental based thereon
is not subject to revision whether or not the actual size is more or less.
2.2 CONDITION. Lessor shall deliver each portion of the Premises (as
described in Section 3.2 below) to Lessee broom clean and free of debris on the
Early Possession Date ("START DATE"), and warrants that the plumbing,
electrical, roof, mechanical and existing HVAC systems as applicable to that
portion of the Premises so delivered shall be in good operating condition on the
Start Date. If a non-compliance with said warranty exists as of the Start Date,
Lessor shall, as Lessor's sole obligation with respect to such matter, except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from
Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such
non-compliance, rectify same at Lessor's expense. As a condition to the
effectiveness of the foregoing warranty, Lessee agrees to participate during
normal business hours after reasonable prior notification from Lessor in a
walk-through of each portion of the Premises as the same is made available by
the vacation of the Existing Lessee pursuant to Exhibit A. When the Existing
Lessee gives notice to Lessor of the vacation of a portion of the Premises,
representatives of Existing Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall schedule a
walk-through (no later than 3 business days thereafter) and if any part thereof
is found to be not in accordance with the terms of the warranty, Lessor and
Lessee shall prepare a comprehensive "punch-list" of items to be completed or
corrected by Lessor. If, after the Start Date, Lessee does not give Lessor
written notice of any further non-compliance with this warranty within: (i) six
(6) months as to the existing HVAC systems, or (ii) thirty (30) days as to the
remaining systems, correction of any non-compliance shall be the obligation of
Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense.
2.3 COMPLIANCE. As of the date hereof, Lessor has provided to Lessee
and Lessee acknowledges receipt of the following reports (the "Inspection
Reports"): (i) Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Reports dated
as of January 27, 1998 and January 23, 1998, respectively, (ii) Independent
Roofing Consultants (IRC) roof inspection report dated as of August 31, 1998,
(iii) AJIT structural report dated as of November 24, 1997, and (iv) City of
Xxxxxx walk-through inspection report dated as of November 19, 1997. Lessee
shall have independently reviewed the Inspection Reports and investigated to its
satisfaction the fitness or suitability of the Premises for Lessee's intended
use of the Premises, including but not limited to, the Premises' compliance with
all applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of record, building codes,
regulations and ordinances ("APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS"). In addition, Lessee is
responsible for determining whether or not the zoning is appropriate for
Lessee's intended use. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, comply with all
present and future laws and requirements that impose any obligation, order or
duty on Lessor or Lessee in respect of the Premises or any fixtures, equipment
or other property contained therein, provided, however, if the application of
such legal requirements is not the result of the specific and unique use of the
Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic modifications),
then Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the obligation to pay for such costs
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 7.1(c). Lessee shall promptly forward to
Lessor any notice it receives of the violation of any law involving the Premises
or its use and occupancy by Lessee or any other parties.
2.4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Lessee acknowledges that (except as provided
elsewhere in this Lease): (a) it has been advised by Lessor to satisfy itself
with respect to the condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the
electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects,
City and County requirements and compliance with Applicable Requirements), and
their suitability for Lessee's intended use, (b) Lessee has made such
investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes
all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its occupancy of the Premises,
and (c) neither Lessor nor Lessor's agents has made any oral or written
representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set
forth in this Lease.
3. TERM.
3.1 TERM. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of
this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.
3.2 EARLY POSSESSION. Lessee's right to obtain early possession of the
Premises is subject to the rights of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, as lessee (together with any
sublessees thereof, the
2
3
"EXISTING LESSEE") pursuant to that certain Standard Industrial/Commercial
Single-Tenant Lease-Net dated as of February 12, 1998, as modified by that
certain Termination of Lease Agreement (the "TERMINATION AGREEMENT") of even
date herewith. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall commence on a pro rata
basis as provided in Section 1.5, and all other terms of this Lease (including
but not limited to the obligations to pay Real Property Taxes and insurance
premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall, however, be in effect during such
period, except that Lessee's obligation to pay certain expenses of the Premises
such as Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums shall be prorated in
proportion to the square footage of the Premises then occupied by Lessee as more
specifically described in Exhibit A. Early possession shall not advance or
otherwise affect the Expiration Date.
3.3 DELAY IN POSSESSION. Lessor agrees to use its best commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee as set forth
in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. With
respect to any matters that are not within Lessor's exclusive control, Lessor's
obligation shall be limited to enforcing its rights under the Termination
Agreement to cause the Existing Lessee to comply therewith. If, despite said
efforts, Lessor is unable to deliver possession as agreed, Lessor shall not be
subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of
this Lease. Lessee shall not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its
other obligations until it receives possession of the applicable portion of the
Premises. If possession of the entire Premises is not delivered within sixty
(60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, regardless of
whether Lessee has taken early possession of a portion of the Premises, by
notice in writing within (10) ten days after the end of such sixty (60) day
period, cancel this Lease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from
all obligations hereunder. If such written notice is not received by Lessor
within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel shall terminate.
Notwithstanding Lessee's failure to deliver such written notice of cancellation
to Lessor, if possession of the Premises is not delivered within four (4) months
after the Commencement Date, this Lease shall terminate unless other agreements
are reached between Lessor and Lessee, in writing.
3.4 LESSEE COMPLIANCE. Lessor shall not be required to tender
possession of the Premises to Lessee until Lessee complies with its obligation
to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5).
4. RENT.
4.1 RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under
the terms of this Lease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent
("RENT").
4.2 PAYMENT. Lessee shall cause payment of Rent as the same may be
adjusted from time to time to be received by Lessor in lawful money of the
United States, without offset or deduction (except as specifically permitted in
this Lease), on or before the day on which it is due. Rent for any period during
the term hereof which is for less than one (1) full calendar month shall be
prorated based upon the actual number of days of said month. Payment of Rent
shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or
place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a
payment which is less than the amount then due shall not be a waiver of Lessor's
rights to the balance of such Rent, regardless of Lessor's endorsement of any
check so stating.
4.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the tenth business
day of each calendar month of the Term, as additional Rent, (a) an amount equal
to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual cost of insurance premiums for the insurance
coverage that is required to be obtained by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 8.1
hereof, (b) an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual cost of Real
Property Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 10.2 hereof, and (c) Lessor's management
fee applicable to the Premises provided such management fee shall not exceed one
percent (1%) of the gross collections applicable to the Property, including,
without limitation, Base Rent, Additional Rent and other payments made by Lessee
pursuant to this Lease and all payments made by the Existing Lessee. The amount
to be paid by Lessee shall be set forth in a statement prepared by Lessor and
delivered to Lessee no later than the first business day of the month.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution
hereof the Security Deposit as security for Lessee's faithful performance of its
obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails to pay Rent, or otherwise Defaults
under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or
3
4
retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount
due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss
or damage which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or
applies all or any portion of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within thirty
(30) days after written request therefore deposit monies with Lessor sufficient
to restore said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If
the Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon
written request from Lessor, deposit additional moneys with Lessor so that the
total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion
to the increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial
Base Rent. Should the Agreed Use be amended to accommodate a material change in
the business of Lessee or to accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Lessor shall
have the right to increase the Security Deposit to the extent necessary, in
Lessor's reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and tear that
the Premises may suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee
occurs during this Lease and following such change the financial condition of
Lessee is, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall
deposit such additional monies with Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the
Security Deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based on said change
in financial condition. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security
Deposit separate from its general accounts. Within fourteen (14) days after the
expiration or termination of this Lease, if Lessor elects to apply the Security
Deposit only to unpaid Rent, and otherwise within fourteen (14) days after the
Premises have been vacated pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(c) below, Lessor shall
return that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. No
part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear
interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease.
6. USE.
6.1 USE. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Agreed
Use, or any other legal use which is reasonably comparable thereto, and for no
other purpose. Lessee shall be permitted to place signs and monuments on or
about the Premises, provided such signage is in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements. Lessee shall be permitted to conduct its operations during all
reasonable times, provided Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the
Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance, or
that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to neighboring
properties.
6.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
(A) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, or waste
whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, or release, either
by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises,
is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare,
the environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental
authority, or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any
governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law
theory. Hazardous Substances shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons,
petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Premises which
constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express prior
written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at Lessee's expense) with all
Applicable Requirements. "REPORTABLE USE" shall mean (i) the installation or use
of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession,
storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires
a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or
business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and/or
(iii) the presence at the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to
which any Applicable Requirements requires that a notice be given to persons
entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lessee may use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably
required to be used in the normal course of the Agreed Use, so long as such use
is in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, is not a Reportable Use, and
does not expose the Premises or neighboring property to any meaningful risk of
contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition,
Lessor may condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such
additional assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself,
the public, the Premises and/or the environment against damage, contamination,
injury and/or liability,
4
5
including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease
expiration or termination) of protective modifications (such as concrete
encasements) and/or increasing the Security Deposit.
(b) DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable
cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on,
under or about the Premises, other than as previously consented to by Lessor,
Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such fact to Lessor, and provide
Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other documentation which it
has concerning the presence of such Hazardous Substance.
(c) LESSEE REMEDIATION. Lessee shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the
Premises (including through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system) and shall
promptly, at Lessee's expense, take all investigatory and/or remedial action
reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the
cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or
monitoring of the Premises or neighboring properties, that was caused or
contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or involving any Hazardous Substance
brought (or allowed to be brought) onto the Premises during the term of this
Lease, by or for Lessee, excluding any Hazardous Substances brought onto the
Premises by or at the direction of, Lessor.
(d) LESSEE INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and
hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, harmless
from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages, liabilities,
judgments, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys' and consultants' fees
arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought (or allowed to be
brought) onto the Premises by or for Lessee (provided, however, that Lessee
shall have no liability under this Lease with respect to underground migration
of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from adjacent properties).
Lessee's obligations shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any
contamination or injury to person, property or the environment created or
suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation, removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Lease. NO TERMINATION, CANCELLATION OR RELEASE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY
LESSOR AND LESSEE SHALL RELEASE LESSEE OR LESSOR FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
LEASE WITH RESPECT TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SO AGREED BY THE
OTHER PARTY IN WRITING AT THE TIME OF SUCH AGREEMENT.
(e) LESSOR INDEMNIFICATION. Lessor and its successors and
assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Lessee, its employees and
lenders, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, judgments,
claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of
or involving any Hazardous Substances, including the cost of remediation, which
existed as a result of Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to the Start
Date or which are caused by Lessor, its agents or employees. Lessor's
obligations, as and when required by the Applicable Requirements, shall include,
but not be limited to, the cost of investigation, removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Lease.
(f) INVESTIGATIONS AND REMEDIATIONS. Lessor shall retain the
responsibility and pay for any investigations or remediation measures required
by governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the existence of
Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to the Start Date, unless such
remediation measure is required as a result of Lessee's use (including
"ALTERATIONS", as defined in paragraph 7.3(a) below) of the Premises, in which
event Lessee shall be responsible for such payment. Lessee shall cooperate fully
in any such activities at the request of Lessor, including allowing Lessor and
Lessor's agents to have reasonable access to the Premises at reasonable times in
order to carry out Lessor's investigative and remedial responsibilities.
(g) LESSOR'S TERMINATION OPTION. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition occurs during the term of this Lease, unless Lessee is responsible
therefor (in which case Lessee shall make the investigation and remediation
thereof required by the Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(d) and
Paragraph 13), Lessor may, at Lessor's option, either (i) investigate and
remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably
possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, except
5
6
that the Rent payable by Lessee for the period required for such remediation by
Lessor shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the
Premises is impaired, or (ii) if the estimated cost to remediate such condition
exceeds $100,000, give written notice to Lessee, within thirty (30) days after
receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance
Condition, of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60)
days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give a
termination notice, Lessee may, within ten (10) days thereafter, give written
notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of
the remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition exceeds$100,000. Lessee
shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within
thirty (30) days following such commitment. In such event, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such
remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or
assurance thereof within the time provided, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
(h) LESSEE'S TERMINATION OPTION. If Lessor shall be obligated
to remediate a Hazardous Substance Condition, which remediation can only be
accomplished in such a manner that materially interferes with Lessee's use of
the Premises, Lessee may, if such remediation has not been accomplished within
six (6) months after the discovery of the need for such remediation, give
written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice,
of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60)
days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such
remediation is not completed within thirty (30) days thereafter, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice.
6.3 LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease and subject to Lessor's rights to approve any
Alterations to the Premises pursuant to Section 7.3, Lessee shall, at Lessee's
sole expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner, materially comply with
all Applicable Requirements relating to Lessee's use and occupancy of the
Premises and the requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or
rating bureau which relate in any manner to the Premises, without regard to
whether said requirements are now in effect or become effective after the Start
Date. Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's written
request, provide Lessor with copies of all permits and other documents, and
other information evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable
Requirements specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify
Lessor in writing (with copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or
actual claim, notice, citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or
involving the failure of Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable
Requirements.
6.4 INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE. Lessor and Lessor's "LENDER" (as defined
in Paragraph 30 below) and consultants shall have the right to enter into
Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable
times upon advance written or oral notice to Lessee and only when accompanied by
a representative of Lessee during Lessee's normal business hours, for the
purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance
by Lessee with this Lease. The cost of any such inspections shall be paid by
Lessor, unless a violation of Applicable Requirements by Lessee, or a
contamination caused or allowed by Lessee or Lessee's agents and any related
parties is found to exist or be imminent, or the inspection is requested or
ordered by a governmental authority. In such case, Lessee shall upon request
reimburse Lessor for the reasonable cost of such inspections, so long as such
inspection is reasonably related to the violation or contamination.

or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior
use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises), including, but

such as plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, lighting
facilities, boilers, pressure vessels, fire protection system, fixtures,
interior walls, ceilings, roofs (routine maintenance only), floors, windows,
doors, plate glass, skylights, landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences,

order, condition and state of repair. Lessee shall, during the term of this
Lease, keep the exterior appearance of the Building in a first-class condition
consistent with the exterior appearance of other similar facilities of
comparable age and size in the vicinity, including, when necessary, the exterior
repainting of the Building, including routine graffiti removal, provided,
however, that (i) Lessee shall first obtain the approval of Lessor of the color
selected for any exterior repainting, and (ii) Lessor shall retain the right to
repaint the Building at any time, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, in a color
satisfactory to Lessee.

comply with the recommendations of IRC (or other reputable roofing inspector
selected by Lessor) after inspection of the roof (as may be customary for

that the terms of this Lease govern the respective obligations of the Parties as
to maintenance and repair of the Premises, and they expressly waive the benefit
of any statute now or hereafter in effect to the extent it is inconsistent with
the terms of this Lease. If Lessor shall be obligated to make structural or roof
repairs, which repairs can only be accomplished in such a manner that materially
interferes with Lessee's use of the Premises, Lessee may, if such repairs have
not been accomplished within six (6) months after the discovery of the need for
such repairs, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee
has actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not
less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives

days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said
notice.

"LESSEE OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" are defined as
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned
by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make any Alterations or
Utility Installations to the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
Lessee may, however, make non-structural Alterations or Utility Installations to
the interior of the Premises (excluding the roof) without such consent but upon
notice to Lessor, as long as they do not involve puncturing, relocating or
removing the roof or any existing bearing walls, and the cumulative cost thereof
during this Lease as extended does not exceed $100,000 in the first full year of
occupancy or $25,000 in any subsequent year.
(b) CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. Consent shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee's: (i) acquiring all applicable governmental permits,
(ii) furnishing Lessor with copies of both the permits and the plans and
specifications prior to commencement of the work, and (iii) compliance with all
conditions of said permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and
expeditious manner. Additionally, any consent for installation of equipment on
the roof shall be deemed conditioned upon the supervision and approval of IRC
(or other reputable roofing inspector selected by Lessor) prior to such
installation and during all phases of work. Any Alterations or Utility
Installations shall be performed in a workmanlike manner with good and
sufficient materials. Lessee shall promptly upon completion furnish Lessor with
as-built plans and specifications. For work which costs an amount equal to the
greater of one month's Base Rent, or $10,000, Lessor may condition its consent
upon Lessee providing a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to the
estimated cost of such Alteration or Utility Installation.
(c) INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims
for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for
Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any
mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the
right to post notices of non-responsibility. If Lessee shall contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same and
shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon
before the enforcement thereof. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish a
surety bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the amount of such
contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same. If Lessor elects to participate in any such action, Lessee shall pay
Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs.
7.4 OWNERSHIP; REMOVAL; SURRENDER; AND RESTORATION.
(a) OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require removal or
elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Trade Fixtures, Alterations and
Utility Installations made by or placed on the Premises by Lessee shall be the
property of Lessee, but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at the
time of giving its consent to any Alterations and Utility Installations, elect
in writing to be the owner of all or any specified part of the Alternations and
Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per Paragraph 7.4(b) hereof,
all Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration
or termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and be surrendered
by Lessee with the Premises.
(b) REMOVAL. If Lessee shall desire to make any Alterations or
Utility Installations, and such Alterations or Utility Installations require the
consent of the Lessor, Lessor may, as a condition to giving its consent, require
that the Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the expiration or
termination of this Lease. Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or
any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations made without
the required consent.
(c) SURRENDER/RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the Premises
by the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date, with all of the
improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and free of debris, and in
good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. "ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR" shall not include any damage or deterioration
that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice. Lessee shall repair
any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of
8
9
Trade Fixtures, Lessee Owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations,
furnishings and equipment, as well as the removal of any storage tank installed
by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or remediation of any soil,
material or groundwater contaminated by Lessee. Trade Fixtures shall remain the
property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee. The failure by Lessee to
timely vacate the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 7.4(c) without the express
written consent of Lessor shall constitute a holdover under the provisions of
Paragraph 26 below.
8. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.
8.1 PAYMENT FOR INSURANCE. Lessee shall pay for all insurance required
under Paragraph 8. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to or extending
beyond the Lease term shall be prorated to correspond to the Lease term. Payment
shall be made by Lessee to Lessor within thirty (30) days following receipt of
an invoice.
8.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE.
(a) CARRIED BY LESSEE. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a
Commercial General Liability Policy of Insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor
against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon
or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises
and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence
basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per
occurrence with an "ADDITIONAL INSURED-MANAGERS OR LESSORS OF PREMISES
ENDORSEMENT" and contain the "AMENDMENT OF THE POLLUTION EXCLUSION ENDORSEMENT"
for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The Policy shall
not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or
organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease
as an "insured contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations
under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All
insurance carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with any
similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess
insurance only.
(b) CARRIED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall maintain liability
insurance in the same amounts and for the same coverage as described in
Paragraph 8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to
be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured
therein.
8.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE - BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.
(a) BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. The Insuring Party shall obtain
and keep in force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable
to Lessor, any ground lessor, and to any Lender(s) insuring loss or damage to
the Premises. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full
replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or
the amount required by any Lenders, but in no event more than the commercially
reasonable and available insurable value thereof. If Lessor is the Insuring
Party, however, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade
Fixtures, and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee under
Paragraph 8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is available and
commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks
of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood unless elected by
Lessor and/or required by a Lender), including coverage for earthquake, debris
removal and the enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the
upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the
Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said policy or policies shall also
contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, waiver
of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual
property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted
U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the
city nearest to where the Premises are located. If such insurance coverage has a
deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed $1,000 per occurrence,
and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount in the event of an Insured
Loss.
(b) RENTAL VALUE. The Insuring Party shall obtain and keep in
force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor with loss payable to Lessor and
any Lender, insuring the loss of the full Rent for one (1) year. Said insurance
shall provide that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured
loss, the period of indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the
date of the completion of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for
one full year's loss of Rent from the date of any such loss. Said insurance
shall
9
10
contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, and the
amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected Rent
otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee shall
be liable for any deductible amount in the event of such loss.
8.4 LESSEE'S PROPERTY/BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE.
(a) PROPERTY DAMAGE. Lessee shall obtain and maintain
insurance coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures, and
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Such insurance shall be full
replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $1,000 per
occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the
replacement of personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence
that such insurance is in force.
(b) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. Lessee shall obtain and maintain
loss of income and extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse Lessee
for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly
insured against by prudent lessees in the business of Lessee or attributable to
prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.
(c) NO REPRESENTATION OF ADEQUATE COVERAGE. Lessor makes no
representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified
herein are adequate to cover Lessee's property, business operations or
obligations under this Lease.
8.5 INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required herein shall be by
companies duly licensed or admitted to transact business in the state where the
Premises are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General
Policyholders Rating" of at least B+, V, as set forth in the most current issue
of "Best's Insurance Guide", or such other rating as may be reasonably required
by Lessor and/or Lender. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which
invalidates the required insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Start
Date, deliver to Lessor certified copies of policies of such insurance or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the required insurance, and
including the "Named Insured" endorsement to the policies, evidencing the
addition of Lessor as an additional named insured thereunder. No such policy
shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or
"insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable
by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at least
one year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less.
If either Party shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance required to be
carried by it, the other Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and
maintain the same.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage
to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured
against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
hereto. The Parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance
carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against
Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not
invalidated thereby.
8.7 INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, members, partners and Lenders,
from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages, liens,
judgments, penalties, attorneys' and consultants' fees, expenses and/or
liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or
occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, except for (a) Lessor's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and (b) the negligence or other misconduct of Lessor, but
only to the extent such claims is covered by Lessor's liability insurance
required under Section 8.2(b) (except than Lessor's negligence or other
misconduct shall not be limited if Lessor's fails to obtain liability insurance
as required by Section 8.2(b)). If any action or proceeding is brought against
Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice
defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have
first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified.
10
11
8.8 EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable for
injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or
results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause,
whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places. During such time as the Existing Lessee
remains in possession of a portion of the Premises, Lessor shall not be liable
for any damage arising from any act or neglect of such Existing Lessee, except
as expressly set forth in this Lease (including, without limitation, the
provisions of Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition) and 7.2 (Lessor's Obligations)).
Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under
no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of
income or profit therefrom.
9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
9.1 DEFINITIONS. The following definitions shall have the meanings
given for the purposes of this Lease only and are not intended to modify or
supplement any insurance policy.
(a) "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or destruction
to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in six (6) months or
less from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee in
writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to
whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(b) "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in six (6)
months or less from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify
Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or
destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(c) "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be
covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a).
(d) "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or
rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their
condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris
removal and upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and
without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the occurrence
or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the
Premises.
9.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE - INSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that
is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such
damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance
was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such
repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds
(except as to the deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when
required to complete said repairs. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate
assurance thereof within said ten (10) day period, the party responsible for
making the repairs shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If such funds or assurance are not
received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten
(10) days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially
reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect, or have this Lease terminate thirty (30)
days thereafter. Lessee shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any funds
contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial
Damage due to flood shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding that
there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance
shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.
11
12
9.3 PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. If a Premises Partial Damage that
is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee or a Default or breach by Lessee hereunder (in which event Lessee shall
make the repairs at Lessee's expense), Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage
as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving
written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of
knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. Such termination shall be effective
sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after
receipt of the termination notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's
commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without reimbursement from
Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance
thereof within thirty (30) days after making such commitment. In such event this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make
such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not make the required commitment, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice.
9.4 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if
a Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or a Default or breach by lessee
hereunder, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee,
except as provided in Paragraph 8.6.
9.5 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six (6)
months of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one
(1) month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may terminate this
Lease effective sixty (60) days following the date of occurrence of such damage
by giving a written termination notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after
the date of occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee
at that time has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the
Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by (a) exercising such option and
(b) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds needed to make the
repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten days after
Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease,
or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds to cover
any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's commercially
reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such
option, and provide such funds during such period, then this Lease shall
terminate on the date specified in the termination notice and Lessee's option
shall be extinguished.
9.6 ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
(a) ABATEMENT. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or
Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee
is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period
required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received by Lessor from the Rental
Value insurance. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by
Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such damage, destruction,
remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.
(b) REMEDIES. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or
restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way,
such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall
accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or
restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee
has actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not
less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives
such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30)
days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said
notice. If the repair or restoration is commenced within said thirty (30) days,
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "COMMENCE" shall mean either
the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the
beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.
12
13
9.7 TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be
made concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee
to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's
Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor.
9.8 WAIVE STATUTES. Notwithstanding any present or future statute to
the contrary (including, without limitation, Cal. Civ. Code Section 1932,
1941 and 1942), Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease shall
govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with respect
to Lessor's obligations to make repairs or to terminate this Lease.
10. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
10.1 DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAXES." As used herein, the term
"REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall include any form of assessment; real estate,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other than
inheritance, personal income or estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or license
fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in
the Premises, Lessor's right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business
of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and
where the funds are generated with reference to the Building address and where
the proceeds so generated are to be applied by the city, county or other local
taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which the Premises are located. The
term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or
charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of events occurring during
the term of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership
of the Premises.
10.2
(a) PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessee shall pay the Real Property Taxes
applicable to the Premises during the term of this Lease. Subject to Paragraph
10.2(b), all such payments shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to any
delinquency date. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory
evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes shall cover any
period of time prior to or after the expiration or termination of this Lease,
Lessee's share of such taxes shall be prorated to cover only that portion of the
tax xxxx applicable to (i) the Premises in which Lessee is in possession, and
(ii) the period that this Lease is in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee
for any overpayment. If Lessee shall fail to pay any required Real Property
Taxes, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, and Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor therefor, including any payment attributable to penalties or interest for
late payment, upon demand.
(b) ADVANCE PAYMENT. During all times that Lessor's Lender
shall require impounds of Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums, Lessee
shall pay such amounts in advance to Lessor with the payment of the Base Rent.
The monthly payment shall be an amount equal to the amount of the estimated
installment of taxes and insurance divided by the number of months remaining
before the month in which the applicable installment becomes delinquent. When
the actual amount of the applicable tax or insurance xxxx is known, the amount
of such equal monthly advance payments shall be adjusted as required to provide
the funds needed to pay the applicable taxes or insurance premiums. If the
amount collected by Lessor is insufficient to pay such Real Property Taxes or
insurance premiums when due, Lessee shall pay Lessor, upon demand, such
additional sums as are necessary to pay such obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee shall not be responsible for increased insurance premiums
resulting from a breach of this Lease by Lessor. All monies paid to Lessor under
this Paragraph may be intermingled with other monies of Lessor and shall not
bear interest. In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, then any balance of funds paid to Lessor under the
provisions of this Paragraph may at the option of Lessor, be treated as an
additional Security Deposit.
10.3 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be conclusively determined by Lessor from the respective
valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as
may be reasonably available.
10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency,
all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility
Installations, Trade
13
14
Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Lessee. When
possible, Lessee shall cause such property to be assessed and billed separately
from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's said personal property
shall be assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee's property within thirty (30) days after receipt of a
written statement.
11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not
separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be
determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law
assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber (collectively, "ASSIGN OR ASSIGNMENT")
all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without
Lessor's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Lessee may assign this Lease without Lessor's consent to any entity
that (i) is controlled by Lessee or its Affiliates, or (ii) is under common
control with or by Lessee.
(b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an
assignment requiring consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change
in control for this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any
transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition,
financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal
assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which
results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount
greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth as it was represented
at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the time of the most recent
assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to
said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever was or
is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may
withhold its consent. "NET WORTH OF LESSEE" shall mean the net worth of Lessee
(excluding any guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting
principles.
(d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at
Lessor's option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a
noncurable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If
Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a noncurable
Breach, Lessor may exercise all rights and remedies which Lessor may have by
reason of such Breach.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor
shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.
12.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or
subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by
such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease; (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder; or (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other
obligations to be performed by Lessee.
(b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee's
obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of
an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall not constitute a waiver or
estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for Lessee's Default or
Breach.
(c) Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, however, Lessor
may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any
amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or any other person
or entity liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent,
and such action shall not relieve such person or entity from liability under
this Lease or sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor
may proceed directly against Lessee or anyone else responsible for the
performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including any assignee or
sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's
14
15
remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or
any security held by Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting
shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's
determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee, or sublessee, including but not
limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if
any, together with a fee as consideration for Lessor's considering and
processing said request not to exceed $1,000. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor
with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be
reasonably requested.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by
reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed to
have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term,
covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee
during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as
are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to
which Lessor has specifically consented to in writing.
12.3 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect
such Rent and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided,
however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee's
obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. If Lessee's subletting of the
Premises provides for the receipt by, on behalf of or on account of Lessee of
any consideration of any kind whatsoever in excess of the pro rata rental and
other charges due Lessor under this Lease, Lessee shall pay fifty percent (50%)
of said excess to Lessor. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing or any
assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed
liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any
of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes
and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor
stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease.
Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to
Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach
exists, notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the contrary.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its
option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall
undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches
of such sublessor.
(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a
sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or
Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default
of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The
sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee
for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.
13. DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.
13.1 DEFAULT; BREACH. A "DEFAULT" is defined as a failure by the Lessee
to comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or rules under
this Lease. A "BREACH" is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the
following Defaults, and the failure of Lessee to cure such Default within any
applicable grace period:
(a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the
Premises without providing a commercially reasonable level of security, or where
the coverage of the property insurance described in Paragraph 8.3 is jeopardized
as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable assurances to minimize
potential vandalism.
15
16
(b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any
Security Deposit required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or
to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable evidence of insurance or
surety bond, or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers or
threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of three
(3) business days following written notice to Lessee.
(c) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written
evidence of compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts,
(iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) a Tenancy
Statement, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence concerning any guaranty
and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 40 (easements),
or (viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably
require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure
continues for a period of ten (10) business days following written notice to
Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions
or provisions of this Lease, other than those described in subparagraphs
13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default continues for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee commences
such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) becoming a "DEBTOR" as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor
statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the
same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or
receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at
the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not
restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or
other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the
Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not
discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any
provision of this subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such
provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee given
to Lessor was materially false.
13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties
or obligations, within ten (10) business days after written notice (or in case
of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty
or obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of
reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits
or approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be
due and payable by Lessee upon receipt of invoice therefor. If any check given
to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn,
Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be made by Lessee to
be by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without
further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any
right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be
entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at
the time of termination; (ii) 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 the Lessee proves
could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the
amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation
16
17
and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that portion of
any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable
to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the
amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence
shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time
of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by
Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages
under Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the
provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover
in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or
Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate
suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was not
previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to
Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice
required by Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required
by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and
the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such
grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this
Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said
statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and
recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign,
subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet,
and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shall
not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.
The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's
right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity
provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term
hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee of Rent 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 upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent
shall not be received by Lessor within ten (10) days after such amount shall be
due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor a one-time late charge equal to five percent (5%) of each 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 such late
payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected,
for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option,
become due and payable quarterly in advance.
13.4 INTEREST. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than
late charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as
Base Rent) or within thirty (30) days following the date on which it was due for
non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date when due, as to
scheduled payments, or the thirty-first (31st) day after it was due as to
non-scheduled payments. The interest ("INTEREST") charged shall be equal to the
prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal as published closest prior to the
date when due plus four percent (4%), but shall not exceed the maximum rate
allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge
provided for in Paragraph 13.4.
13.5 BREACH BY LESSOR.
(a) NOTICE OF BREACH. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of
this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in
writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation
of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessor's
17
18
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for
its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is commenced
within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to
completion.
(b) PERFORMANCE BY LESSEE ON BEHALF OF LESSOR. In the event
that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within thirty (30) days after
receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently
pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee's
expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base
Rent or the Security Deposit, and to pay an excess of such expense under
protest, reserving Lessee's right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall
document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor.
14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under
the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power (collectively "CONDEMNATION"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part
taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession,
whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of any building portion
of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area portion
of the Premises not occupied by any building, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee
may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession) 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 Base Rent shall be reduced in
proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such
Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of
Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value
of the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages;
provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for
Lessee's relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures,
without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to
the Premises by Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered
the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled to any and all
compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such Condemnation.
15. BROKERS.
15.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES OF BROKER RELATIONSHIPS. Lessee
and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings
with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the Brokers and Xxxx Xxxxx
of Xxxxx & Xxxxx, whose fees shall be paid by Lessor pursuant to a separate
agreement) in connection with this Lease, and that no one other than said named
brokers is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection herewith.
Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold
the other harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges which
may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by
reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any
costs, expenses, and/or attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect
thereto.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
(a) Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall within ten (10)
business days after written notice from the other Party (the "REQUESTING PARTY")
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing
in form similar to the then most current "ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE" form published
by the American Industrial Real Estate Association or similar form, plus such
additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably
requested by the Requesting Party.
(b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver
the Estoppel Certificate within such ten day period, the Requesting Party may
execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the Lease is in full force and
effect without modification except as may be represented by the Requesting
Party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party's performance,
and (iii) if Lessor is the Requesting Party, not more than one month's Rent has
been paid in advance. Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely
18
19
upon the Requesting Party's Estoppel Certificate, and the Responding Party shall
be estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said Certificate.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the
Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee shall deliver to any potential lender or
purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements as may be reasonably
required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to Lessee's
financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial statements
shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall
be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
17. DEFINITION OF LESSOR. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In the
event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or this Lease,
Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any
unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. Upon such transfer or assignment and
delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be
relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under
this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing,
the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor
shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.
18. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
19. DAYS.Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word
"DAYS" as used in this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.
20. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 17
above, the obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute personal
obligations of the individual members of Lessor or its or their individual
partners, directors, officers or shareholders, and Lessee shall look to the
Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any
liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse
against the individual partners of Lessor, or its or their individual partners,
directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such
satisfaction.
21. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance
of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.
22. NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS. This Lease contains all agreements
between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other
prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.
23. NOTICES.
23.1 NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by this
Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier)
or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service
Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and shall be
deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23.
The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that
Party's address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written
notice to the other specify a different address for notice, except that upon
Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for notice. A copy of all notices to Lessor shall be
concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate in writing.
23.2 DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on
the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent
by regular mail the notice shall be deemed given forty eight (48) hours after
the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that
guarantee next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after
delivery of the same to the Postal Service or courier. Notices transmitted by
facsimile transmission or similar means shall be deemed delivered upon telephone
confirmation of receipt, provided a copy is also delivered via delivery or mail.
If notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed
received on the next business day.
24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's
consent to, or approval of, any act shall
19
20
not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or
approval of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the
basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease
requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver
of any Default or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by
Lessor on account of monies or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any
qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith,
which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect
whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the
time of deposit of such payment.
25. NO RECORDING. Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lessor, record this lease or any memorandum thereof.
26. NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease.
In the event that Lessee holds over with Lessor's consent, then the Base Rent
shall be increased to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent
applicable during the month immediately preceding the expiration or termination.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding
over by Lessee.
27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS; CONSTRUCTION OF AGREEMENT. All provisions of
this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and
conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the
convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this
Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural
and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the
Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties
had prepared it.
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed
by the laws of the State of California. Any litigation between the Parties
hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the County of Los Angeles.
30. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.
30.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "SECURITY DEVICE"), now or
hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all advances made on the security
thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together
referred to as "LESSOR'S LENDER") shall have no liability or obligation to
perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. Any Lender may elect
to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its
Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease
and such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding
the relative dates of the documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2 ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and
that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership; (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Lessee might have against any prior lessor; (iii) be bound by prepayment
of more than one (1) month's rent, or (iv) be bound by any modification of this
Lease unless such modification shall have been approved in writing by Lessor's
Lender.
30.3 NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor before the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall obtain a non-disturbance
agreement in form as set forth on Exhibit B from the Lender prior to the Start
Date. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor after the
execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease shall be subject
to receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (a
"NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT") from the Lender which Non-Disturbance Agreement
provides that Lessee's possession of the Premises, and this Lease, including any
options to
20
21
extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach
hereof and attorneys to the record owner of the Premises.
31. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding
involving the Premises to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights
hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding,
action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such
fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or
not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term,
"PREVAILING PARTY" shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who
substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether
by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or
Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be computed
in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully
reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor shall be
entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and
service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether
or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default
or resulting Breach.
32. LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same
to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations,
repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary.
All such activities shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.
Lessor may at any time place on the Premises any ordinary "FOR SALE" signs and
Lessor may during the last six (6) months of the term hereof place on the
Premises any ordinary "FOR LEASE" signs. Lessee may at any time place on or
about the Premises any ordinary "FOR SUBLEASE" sign.
33. AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any
auction upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessor shall
not be obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining
whether to permit an auction.
34. SIGNS. Except for ordinary "For Sublease" signs and signs permitted
under Paragraph 6.1, Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without
Lessor's prior written consent. All signs must comply with all Applicable
Requirements.
35. TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to elect to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such
Lessor interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event
constitute the termination of such interest.
36. CONSENTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease
the consent of a Party is required to an act by or for the other Party, such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual
reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to architects',
attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees) incurred in the
consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent
including, but not limited to, consents to an assignment, a subletting or the
presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee upon receipt
of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessor's consent to any
act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no
Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be
deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent.
The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall
not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or
other conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter
for which consent is being given. In the event that either Party disagrees with
any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonably requests the
reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons
in writing and in reasonable detail within ten (10) business days following such
request.
37. QUIET POSSESSION. Subject to payment by Lessee of the Rent and performance
of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part to be
observed and performed
21
22
under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet possession and quiet enjoyment of the
Premises during the term hereof.
38. OPTIONS.
38.1 DEFINITION. "OPTION" shall mean: (a) the right to extend the
Original Term of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 38.5 below; (b) the right of
cancellation of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 38.6 below; (c) the right to
make first offer to purchase the Premises pursuant to Paragraph 38.7 below.
38.2 OPTIONS PERSONAL TO ORIGINAL LESSEE. Each Option granted to Lessee
in this Lease is personal to the original Lessee, and cannot be assigned or
exercised by anyone other than said original Lessee and only while the original
Lessee is in full possession of the Premises and, if requested by Lessor, with
Lessee certifying that Lessee has no intention of thereafter assigning or
subletting.
38.3 MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
Options to extend or renew this Lease, a later Option cannot be exercised unless
the prior Options have been validly exercised.
38.4 EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option: (i)
during the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default and
continuing until said Default is cured, (ii) during the period of time any Rent
is unpaid (without regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), or (iii)
during the time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that
Lessee has been given three (3) or more valid notices of separate Default,
whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the twelve (12) month period
immediately preceding the exercise of the Option.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of Paragraph 38.4(a).
(c) An Option shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and timely exercise of the Option, if,
after such exercise and prior to the commencement of the extended term, (i)
Lessee fails to pay Rent for a period of thirty (30) days after such Rent
becomes due (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof), (ii)
Lessor gives to Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Default during any
twelve (12) month period, whether or not the Defaults are cured, or (iii) if
Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.
38.5 OPTION TO EXTEND ORIGINAL TERM.
(a) Subject to the provision of this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxx
shall have the option (an "OPTION TO EXTEND") to extend the Original Term of
this Lease for a period of five (5) years (an "EXTENSION TERM"), upon all the
terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Base Rent shall be adjusted
in the first year of such Option Term to ninety-five percent (95%) of the "FAIR
MARKET RENTAL RATE" (as defined below). The Option to Extend may be exercised,
if at all, only in the following manner: (i) Lessee shall deliver written notice
to Lessor ("LESSEE'S INTEREST NOTICE") not more than nine (9) months nor less
than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Original Term stating
that Lessee may be interested in exercising its Option to Extend; (ii) Lessor,
after receipt of Lessee's Interest Notice, shall deliver notice (the "OPTION
RENT NOTICE") to Lessee no less than eight (8) months prior to the expiration of
the Original Term setting forth Lessor's determination of the Fair Market Rental
Rate, which shall be applicable to the Premises during the Extension Term; and
(iii) if Lessee wishes to exercise such Option to Extend, Lessee shall, on or
before the date occurring six (6) months prior to the end of the Original Term
exercise the Option to Extend by delivering written notice thereof (the "OPTION
TO EXTEND NOTICE") to Lessor. Concurrently with Lessee's delivery of the Option
to Extend Notice, Lessee may, at its option, object to Lessor's determination of
the Fair Market Rental Rate contained in Lessor's Option Rent Notice, in which
case, the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Fair Market Rental Rate
shall be determined, as set forth in Paragraph 38.5(b) below. The Base Rent for
the Extension Term shall be 95% of the Fair Market Rental Rate determined below,
but in no event less than the rental rate in effect in the last month of the
Original Term. The term "FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE" for the purposes of this Lease
shall mean the current monthly rental rate being accepted by owners of
comparable buildings in the City of Xxxxxx on a net basis, for a comparable
period of time, from non-equity tenants.
22
23
(b) If Lessee timely exercises the Option to Extend, the
Original Term of this Lease shall be extended by the applicable Extension Term,
and all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall remain
unmodified and in full force and effect during the applicable Extension Term,
except that the Base Rent payable during the Extension Term shall be as
determined pursuant to this Paragraph 38.5. In the event Lessee objects in
writing to the Fair Market Rental Rate initially determined by Lessor, Lessor
and Lessee shall attempt to agree upon such Fair Market Rental Rate using their
best good faith efforts. If Lessor and Lessee fail to reach agreement within
fifteen (15) days following Lessee's delivery of its written objection (the
"OUTSIDE AGREEMENT DATE"), then each Party shall place in a separate sealed
envelope their final proposal as to Fair Market Rental Rate and such
determination shall be submitted to appraisal as follows:
(i) Lessor and Lessee shall meet with each other within
five (5) business days of the Outside Agreement Date and exchange the sealed
envelopes and then open such envelopes in each other's presence. If Lessor and
Lessee do not mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate within one (1)
business day of the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within ten (10)
business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, Lessor and Lessee shall
engage an appraiser from CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Appraisal Services (located in
downtown Los Angeles) who is knowledgeable in the leasing of similar properties
in the City of Xxxxxx. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall consult with such
appraiser as to his or her opinion as to Fair Market Rental Rate prior to the
appointment. The determination of the appraiser shall be limited solely to the
issue of whether Lessor's or Lessee's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate for the
Premises is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises
as determined by the appraiser, taking into account requirements of this
provision regarding same. Such appraiser may hold such hearings and require such
briefs as the appraiser, in his or her sole discretion, determines are
necessary.
(ii) The appraiser shall, within thirty (30) days of his
or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use
Lessor's or Lessee's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate, and shall notify Lessor
and Lessee thereof.
(iii) The decision of the appraiser shall be binding upon
Lessor and Lessee, except as provided below.
(iv) The cost of the appraiser shall be paid by lessor
and Lessee equally.
38.6 OPTION TO CANCEL LEASE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Lessee shall have a one-time option to cancel this Lease
("CANCELLATION OPTION") in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(a) If Lessee desires to exercise the Cancellation Option,
Lessee shall give Lessor irrevocable written notice (the "CANCELLATION NOTICE")
of Lessee's exercise of this Cancellation Option, which shall be delivered by
Lessee to Lessor no later than the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the
Cancellation Date (defined below).
(b) If Lessee gives the Cancellation Notice and complies with
all of the provisions in this Paragraph, the Lease shall terminate at 11:59 p.m.
on November 30, 2004 (the "CANCELLATION DATE").
(c) In order for such Cancellation Notice to be effective, it
must be accompanied by the cancellation fee in the amount of all unamortized
lease commissions and eleven percent (11%) interest thereon computed from the
Cancellation Date through May 31, 2006, which shall be payable only in cash or
certified funds.
(d) Lessee's obligations to pay Rent and any other costs or
charges under this Lease, and to perform all other Lease obligations for the
period up to and including the Cancellation Date, shall survive the termination
of this Lease.
(e) In the event Lessee exercises the Cancellation Option,
Lessee covenants and agrees to surrender full and complete possession of the
Premises to Lessor on or before the Cancellation Date vacant, broom-clean, in
good order and condition, and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease,
and thereafter the Premises shall be free and clear of all leases, tenancies,
and rights of occupancy of any entity claiming by or through Lessee.
38.7 FIRST RIGHT TO MAKE OFFER TO PURCHASE. Lessor shall provide Lessee
with written notice (a "SALE NOTICE") from time to time at any time during the
first thirty-six (36) months of the Original Term when (a) Lessor determines
that the Premises will be listed for sale to third parties, or (b) Lessor
receives an unsolicited offer to purchase the Premises, provided such offer
contains sufficient information as to permit the offer to be evaluated by
Lessor.
23
24
Lessor shall provide the Sale Notice at least three (3) business days prior to
listing the Premises for sale as provided in (a) above, and not more than three
(3) business days after any definitive unsolicited offer is received as provided
in (b) above. The Sale Notice shall generally inform Lessee of the terms of such
proposed sale. Lessor shall not be required to give a Sale Notice for any
transfer of the premises to an entity controlled by, controlling or under the
common control of, Lessor. Lessee shall have three (3) business days from the
delivery of the Sale Notice to submit an offer to Lessor on the same terms and
conditions contained in the Sale Notice. If Lessee fails to submit an offer
within the specified time, it shall be conclusively presumed that Lessee has no
interest in purchasing the Premises. Except for the Sale Notice required
pursuant to this Paragraph 38.7, Lessor shall be under no obligation to offer,
advise, negotiate or consult with Lessee in any manner whatsoever with respect
to a sale of the Premises. Lessor and Lessee agree that the requirement for
notice pursuant to this Paragraph 38.7 shall never be deemed or construed to
constitute an option to purchase or first right of refusal, or in any manner
relate back to the date hereof, and shall not be applicable, in any event, to a
foreclosure of any Security Device or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
39. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. (a) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, as soon as
available, but not later than ninety (90) days following the end of its fiscal
year, the following financial statements each audited by an independent
certified public accounting firm acceptable to Lessor and certified by a senior
financial officer of Lessee as true, correct and complete in all material
respects as of the end of and for such period and as having been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
in each case in such detail as Lessor may reasonably request and setting forth
in comparative form the corresponding figures for the immediately preceding
fiscal year of Lessee:
(i) a balance sheet of Lessee as of the end of such fiscal year;
(ii) a statement of income and expenses of Lessee for such fiscal
year;
(iii) a statement of cash flows of Lessee for such fiscal year; and
(iv) a statement of changes in owner's equity of Lessee for such
fiscal year.
(b) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, as soon as available, but not later than
forty-five (45) days following the end of each of its first three fiscal
quarters of each fiscal year, an unaudited copy of each of the foregoing
financial statements as of the end of such quarter and certified by a senior
financial officer of Lessee as true, correct and complete in all material
respects as of the end of and for such period and as having been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
in each case in such detail as Lessor may reasonably request.
(c) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, concurrently with the filing thereof, the
federal and state tax returns for Lessee.
(d) At any time and from time to time Lessee shall deliver to Lessor or its
agents such other financial data as Lessor or its agents shall reasonably
request with respect to Lessee and the maintenance, use and operation of the
Premises.
(e) Any information obtained from Lessee's financial statements shall be
confidential and shall not be disclosed other than to carry out the purposes of
this Lease; provided, however, Lessor shall incur no liability for the
inadvertent disclosure of any such information. Lessor may divulge the contents
of any financial statements in connection with any financing arrangement or sale
of Lessor's interest in the Premises or in connection with any administrative or
judicial proceedings.
40. SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable
to Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the Premises, Lessee,
its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties. 41.
RESERVATIONS. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant,
without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights and dedications
that Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and
restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and
restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by
Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.
24
25
42. PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said Party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay.
43. AUTHORITY. If either Party hereto is a corporation, trust, limited
liability company, partnership, or similar entity, each individual executing
this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he or she is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on its behalf. Each Party
shall, within thirty (30) days after request, deliver to the other Party
satisfactory evidence of such authority.
44. CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and
the typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten
or handwritten provisions.
45. OFFER. Preparation of this Lease by either Party or their agent and
submission of same to the other Party shall not be deemed an offer to lease to
the other Party. This Lease is not intended to be binding until executed and
delivered by all Parties hereto.
46. AMENDMENTS. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the
Parties in interest at the time of the modification. As long as they do not
materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such
reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by a Lender in connection with the obtaining of normal financing or
refinancing of the Premises.
47. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. Lessor and Lessee shall execute a Memorandum of
this Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and either Lessor or Lessee
may record an original copy of such Memorandum of Lease in the Los Angeles
County Recorder's Office.
48. MULTIPLE PARTIES. If more than one person or entity is named herein as
either Lessor or Lessee, such multiple Parties shall have joint and several
responsibility to comply with the terms of this Lease.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Lease at the place and
on the dates specified above their respective signatures.

AGREEMENT OF SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE
AND ATTORNMENT
THIS AGREEMENT OF SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND
ATTORNMENT is made as of the ___ day of November, 1998, by and among ON SANTA FE
PARTNERS, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Lessor"), THE SIRENA
APPAREL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Lessee"), and CARBON CAPITAL
MORTGAGE PARTNERS I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its successors
and assigns (collectively "Lender").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Lessor is the owner of a certain tract of land with
improvements thereon ("Property"), and said tract is more fully described in
Exhibit "A", which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as if
fully set forth at this point; and
WHEREAS, Lender has made a loan and is the owner of an
indebtedness and holder of a certain Note, secured by a Deed of Trust and
Security Agreement of even date therewith ("Mortgage"), recorded in the records
of Los Angeles County, California, constituting a first lien upon the Property,
and secured by an assignment of Lessor's interest in the Lease hereinafter
described as more particularly set forth in a certain Assignment of Leases and
Rents; and
WHEREAS, under a certain Standard Lease Agreement ("Lease")
dated of even date herewith, between Lessor and Lessee, as evidenced by a
Memorandum of Lease recorded concurrently herewith, Lessor did lease, let and
demise a portion of the Property ("Premises") as described in the Lease to
Lessee for the period of time and upon the covenants, terms and conditions
therein stated; and
WHEREAS, Lender desires that the Lease be subordinated to the
Mortgage, and that Lessee agree to attorn to the purchaser at foreclosure of the
Mortgage in the event of such foreclosure or to Lender in the event of
collection of the rent by Lender; and
WHEREAS, Lessee is willing to agree to attorn if Lender will
recognize Lessee's rights under the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, terms,
conditions and agreements herein contained, and in consideration of other good
and valuable consideration, each to the other, the sufficiency and receipt of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree, covenant and warrant as
follows:
1. That the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of
the Lease and the rights of the Lessee thereunder are and will continue to be
subordinate to the Mortgage, and the lien thereof, and to any renewal,
substitution, extension or replacement thereof.
2. So long as (i) Lessee is not in default (beyond any period
given Lessee to cure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or
in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants,
provisions or conditions of the Lease on Lessee's part to be performed or
observed, (ii) Lessee is not in default under this Agreement and (iii) the Lease
is in full force and effect: (a) Lessee's possession of the Premises and
Lessee's rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or
28
renewals thereof which may be affected in accordance with any option therefor
which is contained in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by
Lender, and Lessee's occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender
for any reason whatsoever during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or
renewals thereof and (b) Lender will not join Lessee as a party defendant in any
action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgage or to enforce any rights or
remedies of Lender under the Mortgage which would cutoff, destroy, terminate or
extinguish the Lease or Lessee's interest and estate under the Lease (except to
the extent that Lessee's right to receive or set-off any monies or obligations
owed or to be performed by any of Lender's predecessors-in-interest shall not be
enforceable thereafter against Lender or any of Lender's
successors-in-interest).
3. 3.1 After notice is given by Lender that the Mortgage is
in default and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender, Lessee
will attorn to Lender and pay to Lender, or pay in accordance with the
directions of Lender, all rentals and other monies due and to become due to
Lessor under the Lease or otherwise in respect of the Premises; and such
payments shall be made regardless of any right of set-off, counterclaim or other
defense which Lessee may have against Lessor, whether as the tenant under the
Lease or otherwise.
3.2 In addition, if Lender (or its nominee or designee)
shall succeed to the rights of Lessor under the Lease through possession or
foreclosure action, delivery of a deed or otherwise, or another person purchases
the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the Mortgage, then at the request
of Lender (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser (Lender, its nominees
and designees, and such purchaser, each being a "SUCCESSOR-LESSOR"), Lessee
shall attorn to and recognize Successor-Lessor as Lessee's landlord under the
Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that
Successor-Lessor may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such
attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it
were, a direct lease between Successor-Lessor and Lessee upon all terms,
conditions and covenants as are set forth in the Lease, except that
Successor-Lessor shall not:
(a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Lessor under
the Lease;
(b) be subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim which
shall have theretofore accrued to Lessee against Lessor;
(c) be bound by any modification of the Lease or by any
previous prepayment of rent or additional rent for more than one (1) month which
Lessee might have paid to Lessor, unless such modification or prepayment shall
have been expressly approved in writing by Lender; and
(d) be liable for any security deposited under the Lease
unless such security has been physically delivered to Lender except if Lessor
has not delivered the Security Deposit to Lender Lessee shall nevertheless be
entitled to have the Security Deposit applied toward the last month's rent
accruing prior to the termination of the Lease.;
4. Lessee shall promptly notify Lender of any default by Lessor
under the Lease and of any act or omission of Lessor which would give Lessee the
right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction.
In the event of a default by Lessor under the Lease which would give Lessee the
right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or
terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event of
any other act or omission of Lessor which would give Lessee the right to cancel
or terminate the Lease, Lessee shall not exercise such right (i) until Lessee
has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Lender and (ii)
unless Lender has failed, within sixty (60) days after Lender receives such
notice, to cure or remedy the default, act or omission or, if such default, act
or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied by
Lender within such sixty (60) day period, until a reasonable period for
remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving
of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled
under the Mortgage to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event
be less than the period to which Lessor would be entitled under the Lease or
otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that Lender
shall with due diligence give Lessee written notice of its intention to and
shall commence and continue to, remedy such default, act or omission. If Lender
cannot reasonably remedy a default, act or omission of Lessor until after Lender
obtains possession of the Premises, Lessee may not terminate or cancel the Lease
or claim a partial or total eviction by reason of such default, act or omission
until the expiration of a reasonable period necessary for the remedy after
Lender secures possession of the Premises.

5. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Lender
shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other instrument to
which Lender may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation
to Lessee under the Lease or otherwise.
6. All notices, demands, requests and other communications made
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be properly given and deemed delivered
