consecutive "Lease Years", as hereinafter defined, commencing on
the effective date first listed above, ("Occupancy Date").
(B) The first "Lease Year" of the Term shall be for a period

ARTICLE 3. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS

ordinances, rules, and regulations of all state and local
governments.

Lessee.
(D) Opening for business in the Leased Premises by Lessee
shall constitute an acceptance of the Leased Premises and an
acknowledgment by Lessee that the premises are in the condition
described under this Lease.
ARTICLE 4. RENT PAYMENTS
(A) Annual Rent Payable for the first Lease Year: Lessee
shall pay to Lessor an annual Base Rent of $81,060,
which amount shall be payable in advance on the first
day of each month in equal monthly installments of
$3,242.40 to Fund 23 and $3,512.60 to Fund XIX. If the
first day of the Lease Term is not the first day of a
calendar month, then the monthly Rent payable for that
partial month shall be a prorated portion of the equal
monthly installment of Base Rent.
(B) Annual Rent Payable beginning with the Third Lease Year
and the beginning of each fourth Lease Year thereafter
shall increase by an amount equal to five Percent (5%)

and payable were not paid.
ARTICLE 5. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
(A) Lessee shall, throughout the Term or Renewal Terms, if
any, of this Lease, at its own cost and expense, procure and
maintain insurance which covers the Leased Premises and
improvements against fire, wind, and storm damage (including
flood insurance if the Leased Premises is in a federally
designated flood prone area) and such other risks (including
earthquake insurance, if the Leased Premises is located in a
federally designated earthquake zone or in an ISO high risk
earthquake zone) as may be included in the broadest form of
extended coverage insurance as may, from time to time, be
available in amounts sufficient to prevent Lessor or Lessee from
becoming a co-insurer within the terms of the applicable
policies. In any event, the insurance shall not be less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the then insurable value.
Additionally, replacement cost endorsements, inflation guard
endorsements, vandalism endorsement, malicious mischief
endorsement, waiver of subrogation endorsement, waiver of co-
insurance or agreed amount endorsement (if available), and
Building Ordinance Compliance endorsement and Rent loss
endorsements (for a period of one year) must be obtained.
(B) Lessee agrees to place and maintain throughout the Term
or Renewal Terms, if any, of this Lease, at Lessee's own expense,
public liability insurance with respect to Lessee's use and
occupancy of said premises, including "Dram Shop" or liquor
liability insurance, if the same shall be or become available in
the State of Texas and liquor is sold on the Premises, with
initial limits of at least $3,000,000 per occurrence/$5,000,000
general aggregate, or such additional amounts as Lessor shall
reasonably require from time to time, upon Lessor's good faith
determination that the present insurance coverage is inadequate,
such amounts to be consistent with requirements of other Lessor's
in similar circumstances.
(C) Lessee agrees to notify Lessor in writing if Lessee is
unable to procure all or some part of the aforesaid insurance.
In the event Lessee fails to provide all insurance required under
this Lease, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to procure such insurance on Lessee's behalf. Lessee will then,
within five (5) days from receiving written notice, pay Lessor
the amount of the premiums due or paid, together with interest
thereon at the lesser of 12% per annum or the highest rate
allowable by law, which amount shall be considered Rent payable
by Lessee in addition to the Rent defined at Article 4 hereof.
(D) All policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by
this Article can be under Lessee's blanket insurance coverage and
shall name Lessor, Lessor's corporate managing member and general
partner, respectively, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the individual
managing member and general partner, respectively, of Lessor, and
Lessee as additional named insured, as their respective interests
may appear, and shall provide that the policies cannot be
canceled, terminated, changed, or modified without thirty (30)
days written notice to the parties. In addition, all of such
policies shall contain endorsements by the respective insurance
companies waiving all rights of subrogation, if any, against
Lessor. All insurance companies providing coverages must be
rated "A-" or better by Best's Key Rating Guide (the most current
edition), or similar quality under a successor guide if Best's
Key Rating shall cease to be published. Lessee shall provide
Lessor with legible copies of any and all policies on or before
the Occupancy Date. No less than fifteen (15) business days prior
to expiration of such policies, Lessee shall provide Lessor with
legible copies of any and all renewal Certificates of Insurance,
if the terms of the Policies have not changed, and copies of such
policies if the same have changed. Lessee agrees that it will
not settle any property insurance claims affecting the Leased
Premises in excess of $100,000 without Lessor's prior written
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Lessor shall consent, where Lessor's consent is required
hereunder, to any settlement of an insurance claim wherein Lessee
shall confirm in writing with evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor that Lessee has sufficient funds available to complete the
rebuilding of the Premises.
(E) Lessee shall defend, indemnify, and hold Lessor harmless
against any and all claims, damages, and lawsuits arising after
the Occupancy Date of this Lease and any orders, decrees or
judgments which may be entered therein, brought for damages or
alleged damages resulting from any injury to person or property
or from loss of life sustained in or about the Leased Premises,
unless such damage or injury results from the intentional
misconduct or the gross negligence of Lessor and Lessee agrees to
save Lessor harmless from, and indemnify Lessor against, any and
all injury, loss, or damage, of whatever nature, to any person or
property caused by, or resulting from any act, omission, or
negligence of Lessee or any employee or agent of Lessee. In
addition, Lessee hereby releases Lessor from any and all
liability for any loss or damage caused by fire or any of the
extended coverage casualties, unless such fire or other casualty
shall be brought about by the intentional misconduct or gross
negligence of Lessor.
(F) Lessor hereby waives any and all rights that it may have
to recover from Lessee damages for any loss occurring to the
Leased Premises by reason of any act or omission of Lessee;
provided, however, that this waiver is limited to those losses
for which Lessor is compensated by insurers, if the insurance
required by this Lease is maintained. Lessee hereby waives any
and all right that it may have to recover from Lessor damages for
any loss occurring to the Leased Premises by reason of any act or
omission of Lessor; provided, however, that this waiver is
limited to those losses for which Lessee is, or should be if the
insurance required herein is maintained, compensated by insurers.
ARTICLE 6. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES
(A) Lessee shall be liable and agrees to pay the charges for
all public utility services rendered or furnished to the Leased
Premises, including heat, water, gas, electricity, sewer, sewage
treatment facilities and the like, all personal property taxes,
real estate taxes, special assessments, and municipal or
government charges, general, ordinary and extraordinary, of every
kind and nature whatsoever, which may be levied, imposed, or
assessed against the Leased Premises, or upon any improvements
thereon, at any time after the Occupancy Date of this Lease and
prior to the expiration of the term hereof, or any Renewal Term,
if exercised.
(B) Lessee shall pay all real estate taxes, assessments for
public improvements or benefits, and other governmental
impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature
whatsoever which shall or may, during the term of this Lease, be
charged, laid, levied, assessed, or imposed upon, or become a
lien or liens upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof or
upon the Rents payable hereunder (expressly excluding general
income taxes, inheritance taxes and estate taxes imposed upon
Lessor). Such payments shall be considered as Rent paid by Lessee
in addition to the Rent defined at Article 4 hereof. If due to a
change in the method of taxation, a franchise tax or Rent tax.
(expressly excluding general income taxes, inheritance taxes and
estate taxes imposed upon Lessor) shall be levied against Lessor
in substitution for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise
constitute a real estate tax, such tax shall be deemed a real
estate tax for the purposes herein and shall be paid by Lessee
(C) All real estate taxes, assessments for public
improvements or benefits, water rates and charges, sewer rents,
and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges which
shall become payable for the first and last tax years of the term
hereof shall be apportioned pro rata between Lessor and Lessee in
accordance with the respective number of months during which each
party shall be in possession of the Leased Premises in said
respective tax years. For the purposes of this provision, all
personal property taxes, real estate taxes and special
assessments shall be deemed to have been assessed in the year
that each payment or any installment thereof is due.
(D) Lessee shall have the right to contest or review by legal
proceedings or in such other manner as may be legal (which, if
instituted, shall be conducted solely at Lessee's own expense)
any tax, assessment for public improvements or benefits, or other
governmental imposition aforementioned, upon condition that,
before instituting such proceeding Lessee shall either (i) pay
(under protest) such tax or assessments for public improvements
or benefits, or other governmental imposition, duties and charges
aforementioned, or (ii) post with Lessor alternative security
satisfactory to Lessor, not to exceed 150% of the amount
contested and the potential penalties and interest thereon. All
such proceedings shall be begun as soon as reasonably possible
after the imposition or assessment of any contested items and
shall be prosecuted to final adjudication with reasonable
dispatch. In the event of any reduction, cancellation, or
discharge, Lessee shall pay the amount that shall be finally
levied or assessed against the Leased Premises or adjudicated to
be due and payable, and, if there shall be any refund payable by
the governmental authority with respect thereto, if Lessee has
paid the expenses of Lessor, if any, in such proceeding, Lessee
shall be entitled to receive and retain the same, subject,
however, to apportionment as provided during the first and last
years of the term of this Lease.
(E) Lessor, within sixty (60) days after notice to Lessee if
Lessee fails to commence such proceedings, may, but shall not be
obligated to, contest or review by legal proceedings, or in such
other manner as may be legal, and at Lessor's own expense, any
tax, assessments for public improvements and benefits, or other
governmental imposition aforementioned, which shall not be
contested or reviewed, as aforesaid, by Lessee, and unless Lessee
shall promptly join with Lessor in such contest or review, Lessor
shall be entitled to receive and retain any refund payable by the
governmental authority with respect thereto.
(F) Lessor shall not be required to join in any proceeding
referred to in this Article, unless in Lessee's reasonable
opinion, the provisions of any law, rule, or regulation at the
time in effect shall require that such a proceeding be brought by
and/or in the name of Lessor, in which event Lessor shall upon
written request, join in such proceedings or permit the same to
be brought in its name, all at no cost or expense to Lessor.
ARTICLE 7. PROHIBITION ON ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLETTING; TAKE-BACK
RIGHTS
(A) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article,
Lessee shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Lessor, in each instance:
1. assign or otherwise transfer this Lease, or any part
of Lessee's right, title or interest therein (except
by devise or bequest upon the death of a
shareholder, but in such event, such recipient shall
be bound by the provisions of this Article);
2. sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises or
allow all or any part of the Leased Premises to be
used or occupied by any other Persons (herein
defined as a Party other than Lessee, be it a
corporation, a partnership, an individual or other
entity); or
3. mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Lease,
or the Leased Premises.
(B) For the purposes of this Article:
1. the transfer of voting control of any class of
capital stock of any corporate Lessee or sublessee,
or the transfer voting control of the total interest
in any other person which is a Lessee or sublessee,
however accomplished, whether in a single
transaction or in a series of related or unrelated
transactions, shall be deemed an assignment of this
Lease, or of such sublease, as the case may be
(provided, however, transfers by bequest or devise
due to the death of a shareholder shall not trigger
the application of these provisions, provided Lessor
is given notice of such transfer immediately after
the disposition of the decedent's estate);
2. an agreement by any other Person, directly or
indirectly, to assume Lessee's obligations under
this Lease shall be deemed an assignment;
3. any Person to whom Lessee's interest under this
Lease passes by operation of law, or otherwise,
shall be bound by the provisions of this Article;
4. each modification, amendment or extension or any
sublease to which Lessor has previously consented
shall be deemed a new sublease; and
5. Lessee shall present the signed consent to such
assignment and/or subletting from any guarantors of
this Lease, such consent to be in form and substance
satisfactory to Lessor.
Lessee agrees to furnish to Lessor upon demand at any time
such information and assurances as Lessor may reasonably request
that neither Lessee, nor any previously permitted sublessee, has
violated the provisions of this Article.
(C) If Lessee agrees to assign this Lease or to sublet all or
any portion of the Leased Premises, Lessee shall, prior to the
effective date thereof (the "Effective Date"), deliver to Lessor
copies of any such proposed agreement and of all ancillary
agreements with the proposed assignee or sublessee, as
applicable. If Lessor in its sole discretion (except as
otherwise specifically limited herein in paragraph (E) below)
shall not have consented to a proposed sublease or assignment,
and Lessee shall attempt to effect such transfer without Lessor's
consent or in spite of Lessor's decision to not consent to such
transfer, Lessor shall then have all of the following rights, any
of which Lessor may exercise by written notice to Lessee given
within thirty (30) days after Lessor receives the aforementioned
documents:
1. with respect to a proposed assignment of this Lease,
the right to terminate this Lease on the Effective
Date as if it were the Expiration Date of this
Lease;
2. with respect to a proposed subletting of the entire
Leased Premises, the right to terminate this Lease
on the Effective Date as if it were the Expiration
Date; or
3. with respect to a proposed subletting of less than
the entire Leased Premises, the right to terminate
this Lease as to the portion of the Leased Premises
affected by such subletting on the Effective Date,
as if it were the Expiration Date, in which case
Lessee shall promptly execute and deliver to Lessor
an appropriate modification of this Lease in form
satisfactory to Lessor in all respects.
4. with respect to a proposed subletting or proposed
assignment of this Lease, impose such conditions
upon Lessor's consent as Lessor shall determine in
its sole discretion.
(D) If Lessor exercises any of its options under Article 7(C)
above, (and if Lessor shall impose conditions upon its consent
and Lessee shall fail to meet any conditions Lessor may impose
upon its consent), Lessor may then lease the Leased Premises or
any portion thereof to Lessee's proposed assignee or sublessee,
as the case may be, without liability whatsoever to Lessee.
(E) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 7 above, or
any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall
have the right to assign this Lease, or sublet the Leased
Premises or any portion thereof, without the consent of, but with
prior written notice to Lessor, to any corporation (a) with which
Lessee may merge or consolidate (provided Lessee is the surviving
entity and such transaction does not involve directly or
indirectly, along with all other transfers, issuance's, or sales,
a transfer, issuance or sale of a majority of the voting stock of
Lessee), or (b) which is on the date hereof a parent or which is
a subsidiary of Lessee; provided, that said assignee assumes, in
full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and Lessee and
Guarantors remains primarily liable under this Lease; and
further, if the County or the City where the Leased Premises are
situate become a `dry' county or city, Lessee may, without the
consent of, but with notice to Lessor, sublet the portion of the
Leased Premises relating to the bar area and the sale of alcohol
to any Texas non-profit corporation or association of persons
wishing to organize a private club under appropriate Texas
statutes and such corporation or association may jointly occupy
the Leased Premises under a sublease from Lessee and Lessee may
enter into a management agreement with such corporation or
association without further approval from Lessor. In addition,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 7 above or any
other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, the following
transfers or issuances of shares of capital stock of Lessee shall
not constitute an assignment of this Lease or require the consent
of Lessor under this Article 7: (i) the issuance and sale of
shares of capital stock of Lessee in connection with a public
offering of such stock (provided such issuance and sale does not
involve the issuance, sale, or transfer of a majority of the
voting stock of Lessee); (ii) the transfer of outstanding shares
to a parent which is a parent on the date hereof or a subsidiary
of Lessee, provided such entity is or becomes a guarantor of this
Lease; (iii) the acquisition by Creed ▇. ▇▇▇▇ III or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of additional shares of capital stock from each other,
from other shareholders, or as a result of new issuances of
capital stock of Lessee; or (iv) the transfer of shares of
capital stock by Creed ▇. ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to family
trusts, family partnerships, or similar vehicles set up for
either of their benefit or for the benefit of any family member,
or the transfer by them of shares of capital stock to any
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other
entity in which they individually, or in the aggregate, own at
least a majority of the ownership interests, and provided such
entities become guarantors of this Lease under terms identical to
those terms under which Creed ▇. ▇▇▇▇ III or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
are guarantors, if applicable under then existing guarantees.
ARTICLE 8. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
(A) Lessee covenants and agrees to keep and maintain in good
order, condition and repair the interior and exterior of the
Leased Premises during the term of the Lease, or any renewal
terms, and further agrees that Lessor shall be under no
obligation to make any repairs or perform any maintenance to the
Leased Premises. Lessee covenants and agrees that it shall be
responsible for all repairs, alterations, replacements, or
maintenance of, including but without limitation to or of: The
interior and exterior portions of all doors; door checks and
operators; windows; plate glass; plumbing; water and sewage
facilities; fixtures; electrical equipment; interior walls;
ceilings; signs; roof; structure; interior building appliances
and similar equipment; heating and air conditioning equipment;
and any equipment owned by Lessor and leased to Lessee hereunder,
as itemized on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference; and further agrees to replace any of said equipment
when necessary. Lessee further agrees to be responsible for, at
its own expense, snow removal, lawn maintenance, landscaping,
maintenance of the parking lot (including parking lines, seal
coating, and blacktop surfacing), and other similar items.
(B) If Lessee refuses or neglects to commence or complete
repairs promptly and adequately, Lessor may cause such repairs to
be made, but shall not be required to do so, and Lessee shall pay
the cost thereof to Lessor upon demand. It is understood that
Lessee shall pay all expenses and maintenance and repair during
the term of this Lease. If Lessee is not then in default
hereunder, Lessee shall have the right to make repairs and
improvements to the Leased Premises without the consent of Lessor
if such repairs and improvements do not exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), provided such repairs or
improvements do not affect the structural integrity of the Leased
Premises. Any repairs or improvements in excess of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) or affecting the structural
integrity of the Leased Premises may be done only with the prior
written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. All alterations and additions to the Leased
Premises shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws and
shall remain for the benefit of Lessor. In the event of making
such alterations as herein provided, Lessee further agrees to
indemnify and save harmless Lessor from all expense, liens,
claims or damages to either persons or property or the Leased
Premises which may arise out of or result from the undertaking or
making of said repairs, improvements, alterations or additions,
or Lessee's failure to make said repairs, improvements,
alterations or additions.
ARTICLE 9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Lessee will comply with all statutes, ordinances, rules,
orders, regulations and requirements of all federal, state, city
and local governments, and with all rules, orders and
regulations of the applicable Board of Fire Underwriters which
affect the use of the improvements. Lessee will comply with all
easements, restrictions, and covenants of record against or
affecting the Leased Premises and any franchise agreements
required for operation of the Leased Premises in accordance with
Article 14 hereof.
ARTICLE l0. SIGNS
Lessee shall have the right to install and maintain a sign or
signs advertising Lessee's business, provided that the signs
conform to law, and further provided that the sign or signs
conform specifically to the written requirements of the
appropriate governmental authorities.
ARTICLE 11. SUBORDINATION
(A) Lessor reserves the right and privilege to subject and
subordinate this Lease at all times to the lien of any mortgage
or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon Lessor's interest in
the Leased Premises and on the land and buildings of which said
premises are a part, or upon any buildings hereafter placed upon
the land of which the Leased Premises are a part, provided such
mortgagee shall execute its standard form, commercially
reasonable subordination, attornment and non-disturbance
agreement, such form to be consistent with other such forms used
by commercial mortgagees in the industry. Lessor also reserves
the right and privilege to subject and subordinate this Lease at
all times to any and all advances to be made under such
mortgages, and all renewals, modifications, extensions,
consolidations, and replacements thereof, provided such mortgagee
shall execute its standard form, commercially reasonable
subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement, such
form to be consistent with other such forms used by commercial
mortgagees in the industry.
(B) Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon
demand, such further commercially reasonable instrument or
instruments subordinating this Lease on the foregoing basis to
the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages as shall be desired by
Lessor and any proposed mortgagee or proposed mortgagees,
provided such mortgagee shall execute its standard form,
commercially reasonable subordination, attornment and non-
disturbance agreement, such form to be consistent with other such
forms used by commercial mortgagees in the industry .
ARTICLE l2. CONDEMNATION OR EMINENT DOMAIN
(A) If the whole of the Leased Premises are taken by any
public authority under the power of eminent domain, or by private
purchase in lieu thereof, then this Lease shall automatically
terminate upon the date possession is surrendered, and Rent shall
be paid up to that day. If any part of the Leased Premises shall
be so taken as to render the remainder thereof materially
unusable in the opinion of a licensed third party contractor or
architect selected by Lessee and approved by Lessor, for the
purposes for which the Leased Premises were leased, then Lessee
shall have the right to terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days
notice to the Lessor given within ninety (90) days after the date
of such taking. In the event that this Lease shall terminate or
be terminated, the Rent shall be paid up to the day that
possession was surrendered.
(B) If any part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken such
that it does not render the remainder thereof materially unusable
for the purposes for which the Leased Premises were leased, in
the opinion of a licensed third party contractor or architect
selected by Lessee and approved by Lessor, then Lessee shall,
with the use of all of the condemnation proceeds (to be made
available by Lessor, immediately if such proceeds are less than
$100,000, or if in excess of $100,000, under a commercially
reasonable construction draw procedure in payment of invoices for
work performed submitted by Lessee or its contractors) but
otherwise at Lessee's own cost and expense, restore the remaining
portion of the Leased Premises to the extent necessary to render
it reasonably suitable for the purposes for which it was leased.
Provided, however, Lessee may elect to replace the Leased
Premises with a different restaurant concept, subject to Lessor's
prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and further that Lessee shall not be
required (unless Lessee so elects) to repair or restore the
Leased Premises if the Term or any Renewal Term shall expire
within two years of such partial taking. Lessee shall notify
Lessor of Lessee's election to not so restore or repair the
Leased Premises after such a partial taking within 60 days of
notice of such taking. If Lessee elects to not make such repair
or restoration, this Lease shall terminate upon Lessor's receipt
of Lessee's notice of termination. Otherwise, if Lessee so
elects or is required to repair or restore the Leased Premises,
Lessee shall make all repairs to the building in which the Leased
Premises is located to the extent necessary to constitute the
building a complete architectural unit. Provided, however, that
such work shall not exceed the scope of the work required to be
done by Lessee in originally constructing such building unless
Lessee shall demonstrate to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction the
availability of funds to complete such work. Provided, further,
the cost thereof to Lessor shall not exceed the proceeds of its
condemnation award, all to be done without any adjustments in
Rent to be paid by Lessee, except as follows: any condemnation
proceeds remaining after the completion of the repair or
restoration of the Leased Premises shall be paid to Lessor. This
lease shall be deemed amended to reflect the taking in the legal
description of the Leased Premises.
(C) All compensation awarded or paid upon such total or
partial taking of the Leased Premises shall belong to and be the
property of Lessor without any participation by Lessee, whether
such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in
value to the leasehold or to the fee of the premises herein
leased. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude
Lessee from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning
authority in such proceedings for: Loss of business;
interruption of business; moving expenses; damage to or loss of
value or cost of removal of inventory, trade fixtures, furniture,
and other personal property belonging to Lessee; provided,
however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely
affect Lessor's award or the award of any fee mortgagee.
ARTICLE l3. RIGHT TO INSPECT
Lessor reserves the right to enter upon, inspect and examine
the Leased Premises at any time during business hours, after
reasonable notice to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to allow Lessor
free access to the Leased Premises to show the premises. Upon
default by Lessee or at any time within one hundred eighty (180)
days of the expiration or termination of the Lease, Lessee agrees
to allow Lessor to then place "For Sale" or "For Rent" signs on
the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE l4. EXCLUSIVE USE
After the Occupancy Date, Lessee expressly agrees and
warrants that the Leased Premises will be used exclusively as a
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Country Italian Restaurant (or any derivative of
such name as Lessee may use) or, after obtaining Lessor's prior
written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, other casual dining sit-down restaurant. Lessee
acknowledges and agrees that any other use without the prior
written consent of Lessor will constitute a default under and a
violation and breach of this Lease. Lessee agrees: To open for
business on the first day in respect of which Rent is payable; to
operate all of the Leased Premises during the Term or Renewal
Terms during regular and customary hours for businesses similar
to the permitted exclusive use stated herein, unless prevented
from doing so by causes beyond Lessee's control; and to conduct
its business in a prudent and reputable manner.
ARTICLE l5. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES
If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises are
totally or partially destroyed by fire or other elements, within
a reasonable time (but in no event longer than one hundred eighty
(180) days and subject to the provisions herein below), Lessee
shall repair and restore the improvements so damaged or destroyed
as nearly as may be practical to their condition immediately
prior to such casualty. All rents payable by Lessee shall be
abated during the period of repair and restoration to the extent
that Lessor shall be compensated by the proceeds of the rent loss
insurance required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder.
Provided Lessee is not in default hereunder (and retains
according to the terms hereof the right to rebuild), then with
the Lessor's prior written consent (if the repairs will exceed
the amounts set forth in Article 8(B)), which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Lessee shall have the right
to promptly and in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and adjust any claim under
such insurance policies with the insurance company or companies
on the amounts to be paid upon the loss. The insurance proceeds
shall be used to reimburse Lessee for the cost of rebuilding or
restoration of the Leased Premises. The Leased Premises shall be
so restored or rebuilt so as to be of at least equal value and
substantially the same character as prior to such damage or
destruction. Provided, however, Lessee may elect to replace the
Leased Premises with a different restaurant concept subject to
Lessor's prior written approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the insurance proceeds are
less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1000,000), they shall be
paid to Lessee for such repair and restoration. If the insurance
proceeds are greater than or equal to One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000), they shall be deposited by Lessee and Lessor
into a customary construction escrow at a nationally recognized
title insurance company, or at Lessee's option, with Lessor
("Escrowee") and shall be made available from time to time to
Lessee for such repair and restoration. Such proceeds shall be
disbursed in conformity with the terms and conditions of a
commercially reasonable construction loan agreement. Lessee
shall, in either instance, deliver to Lessor or Escrowee (as the
case may be) satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of
completion together with such architect's certificates, waivers
of lien, contractor's sworn statements and other evidence of cost
and of payments as the Lessor or Escrowee may reasonably require
and approve. If the estimated cost of the work exceeds Twenty-
Five Percent (25%) of the original cost to Lessor to acquire its
interest in the Lease Premises from Lessee, all plans and
specifications for such rebuilding or restoration shall be
subject to the reasonable approval of Lessor.
Any insurance proceeds remaining with Escrowee after the
completion of the repair or restoration shall be paid to Lessor.
If the proceeds from the insurance are insufficient, after
review of the bids for completion of such improvements, or should
become insufficient during the course of construction, to pay for
the total cost of repair or restoration, Lessee shall, prior to
commencement of work, demonstrate to Escrowee and Lessor's
reasonable satisfaction, the availability of such funds necessary
to complete construction and Lessee shall deposit the same with
Escrowee for disbursement under the construction escrow
agreement. Provided, further, that should the Leased Premises be
damaged or destroyed to the extent of fifty (50%) percent of its
value or such that Lessee cannot carry on business as a casual
dining restaurant without (in Lessor's reasonable opinion) being
closed for more than sixty (60) days (which duration of closure
may be established by Lessee by the affidavit of an independent
third party contractor as to the estimated time of repair) during
the last two years of the remaining term of this Lease or any of
the option terms of this Lease, if any further options to renew
remain, Lessee may elect within 30 days of such damage, to then
exercise at least one (1) option to renew this Lease so that the
remaining term of the Lease is not less than five (5) years in
order to be entitled to such insurance proceeds for restoration
or rebuilding. Absent such election, this Lease shall terminate
upon Lessor's receipt of the insurance proceeds in the amount
estimated to restore or rebuild the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE l6. ACTS OF DEFAULT
(A) Each of the following shall be deemed a default by Lessee
and a breach of this Lease:
1. Failure to pay the Rent or any monetary obligation
herein reserved, or any part thereof when the same
shall be due and payable. Interest and late charges
for failure to pay Rent when due shall accrue if
Lessee shall fail to make payment within five days
after notice to Lessee that Rent has not been paid.
Lessee shall be granted five days after written
notice to cure such failure to pay the Rent or any
other monetary obligation herein reserved.
2. Failure to do, observe, keep and perform any of the
other terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and
provisions in this Lease to be done, observed, kept
and performed by Lessee; provided, however, that
Lessee shall have Thirty (30) days after written
notice from Lessor within which to cure such
default, or such longer time as may be reasonably
necessary if such default cannot reasonably be cured
within Thirty (30) days, if Lessee is diligently
pursuing a course of conduct that in Lessor's
reasonable opinion is capable of curing such
default, but in any event such longer time shall not
exceed 90 days after written notice from Lessor of
the default hereunder.
3. The abandonment of the premises by Lessee, the
adjudication of Lessee as a bankrupt, the making by
Lessee of a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, the taking by Lessee of the benefit of
any insolvency act or law, the appointment of a
permanent receiver or trustee in bankruptcy for
Lessee property, or the appointment of a temporary
receiver which is not vacated or set aside within
sixty (60) days from the date of such appointment.
ARTICLE l7. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT
In the event of any uncured default by Lessee and at any time
thereafter, Lessor may serve a written notice upon Lessee that
Lessor elects to terminate this Lease. This Lease shall then
terminate on the date so specified as if that date had been
originally fixed as the expiration date of the term herein
granted, provided, however, that Lessee shall have continuing
liability for future rents for the remainder of the original term
and any exercised renewal term as set forth in Article 19,
notwithstanding any earlier termination of the Lease hereunder,
preserving unto Lessor the benefit of its bargained-for rental
payments.
ARTICLE l8. LESSOR'S RIGHT OF RE-ENTRY
In the event that this Lease shall be terminated as
hereinbefore provided, or by summary proceedings or otherwise, or
in the event of an uncured default hereunder by Lessee, or in the
event that the premises or any part thereof, shall be abandoned
by Lessee, then Lessor or its agents, servants or
representatives, may immediately or at any time thereafter, re-
enter and resume possession of the premises or any part thereof,
and remove all persons and property therefrom, either by summary
dispossess proceedings or by a suitable action or proceeding at
law, or by force or otherwise without being liable for any
damages therefor.
ARTICLE l9. LESSEE'S CONTINUING LIABILITY
(A) Should Lessor elect to re-enter as provided in this Lease
or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or
pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either (i)
terminate this Lease or (ii) it may from time to time, without
terminating the contractual obligation of Lessee to pay Rent
under this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be
necessary to relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for
such Term or Renewal Terms, at such Rent or Rents, and upon such
other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may
deem advisable. Termination of Lessee's right to possession by
Court Order shall be sufficient evidence of the termination of
Lessee's possessory rights under this Lease, and the filing of
such an Order shall be notice of the termination of Lessee's
Option to Purchase as set forth in any Memorandum of Lease of
record.
(B) Upon each such reletting, without termination of the
contractual obligation of Lessee to pay Rent under this Lease,
all rents received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied
as follows:
1. First, to the payment of any indebtedness other than
Rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor;
2. Second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of
such reletting, including brokerage fees and
attorney's fees and of costs of such alterations and
repairs;
3. Third, to the payment of Rent and other monetary
obligations due and unpaid hereunder;
4. Finally, the residue, if any, shall be held by
Lessor and applied in payment of future Rent as the
same may become due and payable hereunder.
If such rents received from such reletting during any month are
less than that to be paid during that month by Lessee hereunder,
Lessee shall pay any such deficiency to Lessor. Such deficiency
shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking
possession of such Leased Premises by Lessor shall be construed
as an election on its part to terminate Lessee's contractual
obligations under this Lease respecting the payment of rent and
obligations for the costs of repair and maintenance unless a
written notice of such intention be given to Lessee.
(C) Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,
Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for any breach.
(D) In addition to any other remedies Lessor may have with
this Article 19, Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages it
may incur by reason of any breach, including: The cost of
recovering and reletting the Leased Premises; reasonable
attorney's fees; and, the present value (discounted at a rate of
10% per annum) of the excess of the amount of Rent and charges
equivalent to Rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of
the Term over the then reasonable rent value of the Leased
Premises (or the actual rents receivable by Lessor, if relet) for
the remainder of the Term, all of which amounts shall be
immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor in full. In
the event that the rent obtained from such alternative or
substitute tenant is more than the Rent which Lessee is obligated
to pay under this Lease, then such excess shall be paid to Lessor
provided that Lessor shall credit such excess against the
outstanding obligations of Lessee due pursuant hereto, if any.
(E) It is the object and purpose of this Article 19 that
Lessor shall be kept whole and shall suffer no damage by way of
non-payment of Rent or by way of diminution in Rent. Lessee
waives and will waive all rights to trial by jury in any summary
proceedings or in any action brought to recover Rent herein which
may hereafter be instituted by Lessor against Lessee in respect
to the Leased Premises. Lessee hereby waives any rights of re-
entry it may have or any rights of redemption or rights to redeem
this Lease upon a termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 20. PERSONALTY, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
(A) All building fixtures, building machinery, and building
equipment used in connection with the operation of the Leased
Premises including, but not limited to, heating, electrical
wiring, lighting, ventilating, plumbing, air conditioning
systems, and the equipment owned by Lessor and leased to Lessee
hereunder as specifically set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference shall be the property of
Lessor. All trade fixtures and all other fixtures and articles
of personal property owned by Lessee shall remain the property of
Lessee.
(B) Lessee shall furnish and pay for any and all equipment,
furniture, trade fixtures, and signs, except for such items, if
any, described in Article 20(A) above, as owned by Lessor.
(C) At the end of the term of this Lease, the property
described at Article 20(B) above, after written notice to Lessor
given at least ten (10) days prior thereto, may be removed from
the Leased Premises by Lessee regardless of whether or not such
property is attached to the Leased Premises so as to constitute a
"fixture" within the meaning of the law; however, all damages and
repairs to the Leased Premises which may be caused by the removal
of such property shall be paid for by Lessee.
ARTICLE 2l. LIENS
Lessee shall not do or cause anything to be done whereby the
Leased Premises may be encumbered by any mechanic's or other
liens. Whenever and as often as any mechanic's or other lien is
filed against said Leased Premises purporting to be for labor or
materials furnished or to be furnished to Lessee, Lessee shall
remove the lien of record by payment or by bonding with a surety
company authorized to do business in the state in which the
property is located, within twenty (20) days from the date of the
filing of said mechanic's or other lien and delivery of notice
thereof to Lessee of Lessee's obligation under this Lease.
Should Lessee fail to take the foregoing steps within said twenty
(20) day period, Lessor shall have the right, among other things,
to pay said lien without inquiring into the validity thereof, and
Lessee shall forthwith reimburse Lessor for the total expense
incurred by it in discharging said lien as additional Rent
hereunder.
ARTICLE 22. NO WAIVER BY LESSOR EXCEPT IN WRITING
No agreement to accept a surrender of the Leased
Premises or termination of this Lease shall be valid unless
in writing signed by Lessor. The delivery of keys to any
employee of Lessor or Lessor's agents shall not operate as a
termination of the Lease or a surrender of the premises.
The failure of Lessor to seek redress for violation of any
rule or regulation, shall not prevent a subsequent act,
which would have originally constituted a violation, from
having all the force and effect of an original violation.
Neither payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser
amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be
other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent. Nor
shall any endorsement or statement on any check nor any
letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed
an accord and satisfaction. Lessor may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the
balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in
this Lease. This Lease contains the entire agreement
between the parties, and any executory agreement hereafter
made shall be ineffective to change it, modify it or
discharge it, in whole or in part, unless such executory
agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the change, modification or discharge is
sought.
ARTICLE 23. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Lessor covenants that Lessee, upon paying the Rent set
forth in Article 4 and all other sums herein reserved as
Rent and upon the due performance of all the terms,
covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on
Lessee's part to be kept and performed, shall have, hold and
enjoy the Leased Premises free from molestation, eviction,
or disturbance by Lessor, or by any other person or persons
lawfully claiming the same, and that Lessor has good right
to make this Lease for the full term granted, including
renewal periods.
ARTICLE 24. BREACH - PAYMENT OF COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES
Each party agrees to pay and discharge all reasonable
costs, and actual attorneys' fees, including but not limited
to attorney's fees incurred at the trial level and in any
appellate or bankruptcy proceeding, and expenses that shall
be incurred by the prevailing party in enforcing the
covenants, conditions and terms of this Lease or defending
against an alleged breach, including the costs of reletting.
Such costs, attorneys fees, and expenses if incurred by
Lessor shall be considered as Rent as due and owing in
addition to any Rent defined in Article 4 hereof.
ARTICLE 25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Either party to this Lease will, at any time, upon not
less than ten (l0) days prior request by the other party,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a
statement in writing, executed by an executive officer of
such party, certifying that: (a) this Lease is unmodified
(or if modified then disclosure of such modification shall
be made); (b) this Lease is in full force and effect; (c)
the date to which the Rent and other charges have been paid;
and (d) to the knowledge of the signer of such certificate
that the other party is not in default in the performance of
any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this
Lease, or if a default does exist, specifying each such
default of which the signer may have knowledge. It is
intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this
Article may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or
mortgagee of the Leased Premises or any assignee of such
mortgagee or a purchaser of the leasehold estate.
ARTICLE 26. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the term of this Lease, Lessee will, within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the end of Lessee's fiscal
year, furnish Lessor with Lessee?s financial statements (in
SEC Form 10-K, if available). The financial statements
shall be prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and shall be certified as true
and correct by the chief financial officer or other
authorized officer of Lessee. Lessee shall also provide
Lessor with financial statements for the Leased Premises
within 120 days after the end of each Lease Year. The
financial statements for the Leased Premises do not need to
be prepared by an independent certified public accountant,
but shall be certified as true and correct by the chief
financial officer or other authorized officer of Lessee.
Additionally, during the term of the Lease, Lessee will
within forty-five (45) days from the end of each quarter of
each fiscal year, furnish Lessor with Lessee's financial
statements (in SEC Form 10-Q if available)and financial
statements of the Leased Premises for such quarter. Lessor
shall have the right to require such financial statements
for the Lessee and the Leased Premises on a monthly basis
after the occurrence of a default in any Lease Year.
Provided, however, if Lessee shall not commit a default for
twelve consecutive months, Lessor's right to require such
monthly financial statements shall terminate until Lessee
shall again commit a default in any given Lease Year. Said
quarterly (or monthly, if required by Lessor) financial
statements do not need to be prepared by an independent
certified public accountant, but shall be certified as true
and correct by the chief financial officer or other
authorized officer of Lessee. The financial statements
shall conform to GAAP, and include a balance sheet and
related statements of operations, statement of cash flows,
statement of changes in shareholder?s equity, and related
notes to financial statements, if any.
ARTICLE 27. MORTGAGE
Lessee does hereby agree to make reasonable
modifications of this Lease requested by any Mortgagee of
record from time to time provided such modifications are not
substantial and do not increase any of the Rents or
materially modify any of the elements of this Lease.
ARTICLE 28. OPTION TO RENEW
If this Lease is not previously canceled or terminated
and if Lessee is not then in default, then Lessee shall have
the option to renew this Lease upon the same conditions and
covenants contained in this Lease for Three (3) consecutive
periods of Five (5) years each (singularly "Renewal Term").
Rent during each of the three year period of any Renewal
Term shall increase by 5% of the Rent payable for the
preceding three year period.
The first Renewal Term will commence on the day
following the date the original Term expires and successive
Renewal Terms will commence on the day of following the last
day of the then expiring Renewal Term. Lessee must give one
hundred twenty (l20) days written notice to Lessor of its
intent to exercise this option prior to the expiration of
the original Term of this Lease or any Renewal Term, as the
case may be.
ARTICLE 29. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(A) All notices, consents, approvals, or other instruments
required or permitted to be given by either party pursuant
to this Lease shall be in writing and given by (i) hand
delivery, (ii) facsimile, (iii) express overnight delivery
service or (iv) certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been
delivered upon (a) receipt, if hand delivered, (b) confirmed
transmission, if delivered by facsimile, (c) the next
business day, if delivered by express overnight delivery
service, or (d) the third business day following the day of
deposit of such notice with the United State Postal Service,
if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested. Notices shall be provided to the parties and
addresses (or facsimile numbers, as applicable) specified on
the first page hereof.
(B) The terms, conditions and covenants contained in this
Lease and any riders and plans attached hereto shall
bind and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and
their respective successors, heirs, legal
representatives, and assigns.
(B) This Lease shall be governed by and construed under the
laws of the State where the Leased Premises are situate.
(D) In the event that any provision of this Lease shall be
held invalid or unenforceable, no other provisions of
this Lease shall be affected by such holding, and all
of the remaining provisions of this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(E) The Article captions are inserted only for convenience
and reference, and are not intended, in any way, to
define, limit, describe the scope, intent, and
language of this Lease or its provisions.
(F) In the event Lessee remains in possession of the
premises herein leased after the expiration of this
Lease and without the execution of a new lease, it
shall be deemed to be occupying said premises as a
tenant from month-to-month, subject to all the
conditions, provisions, and obligations of this Lease
insofar as the same can be applicable to a
month-to-month tenancy except that the monthly
installment of Rent shall be increased 150% of the
amount due on the last month prior to such expiration.
(G) If any installment of Rent (whether lump sum, monthly
installments, or any other monetary amounts required
by this Lease to be paid by Lessee and deemed to
constitute Rent hereunder) shall not be paid when due
and shall remain unpaid for five days after written
notice to Lessee, or financial statements required to
be delivered hereunder by Lessee remain undelivered
when due for five days after written notice to Lessee,
Lessor shall have the right to charge Lessee a late
charge of $250.00 per month for each month (or portion
thereof) that any amount of Rent installment remains
unpaid or such financial statements remain
undelivered.
(H) Any part of the Leased Premises (excluding the
Building) may be conveyed by Lessor for private or
public non-exclusive easement purposes at any time,
provided such easement does not interfere with the
business of Lessee and provided Lessor has delivered
to Lessee written notification, together with a
description of the location and reason for such
easement, at least 30 days prior to such conveyance.
In such event Lessor shall, at its own cost and
expense, restore the remaining portion of the Leased
Premises to the extent necessary to render it
reasonably suitable for the purposes for which it was
leased, all to be done without adjustments in Rent to
be paid by Lessee. All proceeds from any conveyance
of an easement shall belong solely to Lessor.
(I) For the purpose of this Lease, the term "Rent" shall
be defined as Rent under Article 4, and any other
monetary amounts required by this Lease to be paid by
Lessee.
(J) Lessee agrees to cooperate with Lessor to allow Lessor
to obtain and use at Lessor's expense promotional
photographs of the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE 30. REMEDIES
NON-EXCLUSIVITY. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein it is the intent of the parties that the rights and
remedies contained herein shall not be exclusive but rather
shall be cumulative along with all of the rights and
remedies of the parties which they may have at law or
equity.
ARTICLE 31. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INDEMNITY
Lessee covenants, represents and warrants to Lessor, its
successors and assigns, (i) that (except for items normally
used by Lessee in the course of restaurant operations and in
such case, such items are used and stored in accordance with
applicable law or regulation) it has not used or permitted
and will not use or permit the Leased Premises to be used,
whether directly or through contractors, agents or tenants,
and to the best of Lessee's knowledge and except as
disclosed to Lessor in writing, the Leased Premises has not
at any time been used for the generating, transporting,
treating, storage, manufacture, emission of, or disposal of
any dangerous, toxic or hazardous pollutants, chemicals,
wastes or substances as defined in the Federal Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of
1980 ("CERCLA"), the Federal Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA"), or any other federal, state
or local environmental laws, statutes, regulations,
requirements and ordinances ("Hazardous Materials"); (ii)
that to the best of Lessee's knowledge, there have been no
investigations or reports involving Lessee, or the Leased
Premises by any governmental authority which in any way
pertain to Hazardous Materials (iii) that to the best of
Lessee's knowledge the operation of the Leased Premises has
not violated and is not currently violating any federal,
state or local law, regulation, ordinance or requirement
governing Hazardous Materials; (iv) that to the best of
Lessee's knowledge the Leased Premises is not listed in the
United States Environmental Protection Agency's National
Priorities List of Hazardous Waste Sites nor any other list,
schedule, log, inventory or record of Hazardous Materials or
hazardous waste sites, whether maintained by the United
States Government or any state or local agency; and (v) that
the Leased Premises will not contain any formaldehyde, urea
or asbestos, except as may have been disclosed in writing to
Lessor by Lessee at the time of execution and delivery of
this Lease. Lessee agrees to indemnify and reimburse
Lessor, its successors and assigns, for:
(a) any breach of these representations and warranties, and
(b) any loss, damage, expense or cost arising out of or
incurred by Lessor which is the result of a breach of,
misstatement of or misrepresentation of the above
covenants, representations and warranties, and
(c) any and all liability of any kind whatsoever which
Lessor may, for any cause and at any time, sustain or
incur by reason of Hazardous Materials discovered on
the Leased Premises during the term hereof or placed
or released on the Leased Premises by Lessee;
together with all attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements
incurred in connection with the defense of any action
against Lessor arising out of the above. These covenants,
representations and warranties shall be deemed continuing
covenants, representations and warranties for the benefit of
Lessor, and any successors and assigns of Lessor and shall
survive expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. The
amount of all such indemnified loss, damage, expense or
cost, shall bear interest thereon at twelve percent (12%)
per annum and shall become immediately due and payable in
full on demand of Lessor, its successors and assigns.
Lessee shall not be responsible for any liabilities under
this Article if the liability results from activities of
Lessor or any agent, employee, or contractor of Lessor.
ARTICLE 32. ESCROWS
Upon the occurrence of a third default in any twelve
month period by Lessee, or upon the request of Lessor's
mortgagee, if any, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor on the
first day of each and every month, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated annual real estate
taxes, assessments and insurance ("Charges") due on the
Leased Premises, or such higher amounts reasonably
determined by Lessor as necessary to accumulate such amounts
to enable Lessor to pay all charges due and owing at least
thirty (30) days prior to the date such amounts are due and
payable. If Lessee is depositing into such escrow as a
result of its third default in any given twelve month
period, and Lessee shall not commit a default for a period
of 24 months from the commencement of such escrowing, such
escrow shall be discontinued unless renewed according to the
terms hereof for the occurrence of a third default in any
twelve month period, or upon the request of Lessor's
mortgagee.
From time to time out of such deposits Lessor will, upon
the presentation to Lessor by Lessee of the bills therefor,
pay the Charges or will upon presentation of receipted bills
therefor, reimburse Lessee for such payments made by Lessee.
In the event the deposits on hand shall not be sufficient to
pay all of the estimated Charges when the same shall become
due from time to time or the prior payments shall be less
than the currently estimated monthly amounts, then Lessee
shall pay to Lessor on demand any amount necessary to make
up the deficiency. The excess of any such deposits shall be
credited to subsequent payments to be made for such items.
If a default or an event of default shall occur under the
terms of this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, without
being required so to do, apply any Deposit on hand to cure
the default, in such order and manner as Lessor may elect.
ARTICLE 33. NET LEASE
It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Lease
shall be a net lease and that the Rent defined pursuant to
Article 4 should be a net Rent paid to Lessor. Any and all
other expenses including but not limited to, maintenance,
repair, insurance, taxes, and assessments, shall be paid by
Lessee.
ARTICLE 34. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Lessor, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby
gives and grants to Lessee a right of first refusal (the
"Option") to purchase the Leased Premises, subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(A) DURATION OF OPTION. The Option and all rights and
privileges of Lessee hereunder shall be in force for the
term of this Lease until the expiration of Lessee's right to
possession.
(B) MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION. If Lessor shall desire to
sell the Leased Premises (subject to the terms of this
Lease), Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of Lessor's
intention to sell Lessor's interest in the Leased Premises.
Such notice ("Lessor's Notice") shall state a price at which
(or greater) Lessor intends to sell all or a portion of its
interest. For twenty (20) business days following the
giving of such notice, Lessee shall have the option to
purchase the Lessor's interest at the price in cash stated
in the Lessor's Notice. A written notice in substantially
the following form, addressed to Lessor and signed by Lessee
and given, in accordance with the provisions of Article
29(A) hereof, within the period for exercising the Option,
submitted with a bank cashier's check or money order payable
to the order of Lessor in the amount of $25,000.00 (the
"▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money") shall be an effective exercise of Lessee's
Option, to wit:
