15.3 Definition of Sublet. The term “sublet” shall be deemed to include the granting of licenses, concessions and any other rights of occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises, excepting only customary leased

If Assignee or Sublessee is not a bonafide third party, if required, such excess rent will not inure to Landlord.

 

15.6 Concession Space Sublease. Tenant shall have the right to sublease space to individual concessionaires who shall provide services to clients as defined in Section 8.1 above.

However, Paragraph 15.5 above shall be modified for the term of this Lease to allow Lessee to sublease space, and Landlord shall not be entitled to additional rent in excess of rent due Landlord as defined in Section 5.1.

 

15.7 Copy of Agreements. Tenant shall provide to Landlord a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease documents to be used between Tenant and its Assignees or Sublessees within thirty (30) days of execution of this Agreement. Landlord, at it’s sole discretion shall approve or disapprove of any or all terms contained therein. No sublease may contain any provision that is or shall be binding as between Landlord and sublessee, nor shall any sublessee obtain any rights from Landlord through such sublease between Tenant and sublessee. In the event that Tenant breaches it’s Lease Agreement with Landlord and is unable to cure such breach, Landlord at its sole discretion may, at the termination of such Lease, subsequently enter into separate leases with those sublessees who wish to remain as Tenants of Landlord.

In the event of any entry or taking of possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation to remove therefrom, all or any part of the personal property located therein and may place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of the owners thereof.

(h) Intentionally deleted.

 

16.3 Damages. Intentionally deleted.

 

16.4 Cumulative Remedies. Pursuing any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one of more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such default.

 

16.5 Landlord’s Cure Rights. Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default, shall have the right to cure the default at Tenant’s cost. If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s default, pays any sum or performs any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date, the outstanding principal amount thereof shall bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law, and if there should be no legal limit at a rate five percent (5%) in excess of the prime rate of Bank of America Nevada, N.A., with adjustments to be made in such rate with each adjustment in such prime rate, from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed in full by Tenant.

Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s lien or liens to be placed upon the Premises or improvements there on or the Shopping Center during the term hereof caused by or resulting from any work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant; and nothing in this Lease contained shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement, alteration, or repair of or to the Demised Premises, or any part thereof; nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any mechanic’s lien or other liens against the interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises. In the case of the filing of any lien on the interest of Landlord or Tenant in the Premises, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged of record within twenty (20) days after the filing of same. If Tenant shall fail to discharge such mechanic’s lien within such period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit in court or bonding. Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, or for the satisfaction of any other lien, not caused or claimed to be caused by Landlord, with interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of payment, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

21.1 Subordination of Lease. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage presently existing or later placed upon the Demised Premises or upon the Entire Premises and to any renewals and extensions thereof, but Tenant agrees that any mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate such mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as the mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion. Landlord is hereby irrevocably invested with full power and authority, if it so elects at any time, to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage hereafter placed upon the Demised Premises or upon the Entire Premises, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such further instruments subordinating this Lease as Landlord’s mortgagor may request. Such subordination shall be upon the express condition that upon foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or other exercise of the mortgagee’s rights, Tenant’s possession of the Demised Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant attorns to such mortgagee as Tenant’s Landlord and shall continue to perform ail of the covenants and conditions of this Lease and that Tenant’s obligations to perform such covenants and conditions shall not be in any way diminished thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to assist Tenant in procuring a Non-Disturbance Agreement(s) in favor of Tenant providing for the non-disturbance from any ground lessor, mortgage holders or deed of trust beneficiaries under any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Demised Premises now in force or which comes into existence after the date of execution of this Lease but prior to the expiration of the Lease Term in consideration of, and as a condition precedent to, Tenant’s entering into this Lease.

 

21.2 Mortgagee Agreement. In the event a mortgagee or prospective mortgagee should so require, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon Landlord’s request from time to time, for delivery to such mortgagees:

 

(a) an acknowledgment of the assignment of rents and other sums due hereunder to the mortgagee and agreement to be bound thereby;

 

(b) an agreement requiring Tenant to advise the mortgagee of damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty requiring its reconstruction and/or requiring Tenant to give the mortgagee written notice of Landlord’s default hereunder and to permit the lender to cure such default within a reasonable time after such notice before exercising any remedy Tenant might possess as a result of such default.

 

21.3 Estoppel Certificate In the event either party’s mortgagor should so request, Landlord or Tenant shall deliver to the other party and to any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or tenant of the Shopping Center as Landlord or Tenant may designate, from time to time, an Estoppel certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit “F” hereto in recordable form certifying, without limitation, that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect

 

23


(or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), whether or not Landlord or Tenant is in default in any of their obligations hereunder and the nature of such default, and further stating the dates to which rent and other charges payable under the Lease have been paid, the amount of any security deposit, and containing such other representations or statements as any such mortgagee, purchaser or tenant shall reasonably request

 

21.4 Mortgagee Protection Clause. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagees and/or trust deed holders, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the addresses of such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders have an additional thirty (30) days from the time in which they are entitled under the mortgage to remedy any default, within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) days any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated if such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

 

XXII. NOTICES

 

Wherever any notice, election, consent, approval, request, permission, etc. is required or permitted hereunder, such notice, election, consent, etc., shall be deemed effective, whether actually received or not, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the parties hereto at the respective addresses set forth in Subsection 1.1 hereof; or in the case of Tenant at the Demised Premises, or at such other addresses as the parties may have thereto for designated by notice. Any Notice given will be deemed given on the date it is received as provided in this Article XXII.

 

XXIII. ADVERTISING Intentionally deleted.

 

XXIV. MISCELLANEOUS

 

24.1 Binding Effect. This Lease and all of the terms, provisions and covenants contained herein, shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs, assigns, successors, executors and administrators, except as otherwise herein expressly provided.

 

24.2 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one person or corporation is named as Tenant in this Lease and executes the same as such, then in such event, the liability of such persons or corporations for compliance with the performance of all of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease shall be joint and several. It is expressly understood that any one of the named Tenants shall be empowered to execute any modification, amendment, exhibit, floor plan, or other document, herein referred to and bind all of the named Tenants thereto; and Landlord shall be entitled to rely on the same to the extent as if all of the named Tenants had executed the same.

 

24.3 Late Charges and Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord in rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord 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 that may be imposed upon Landlord by terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises or Shopping Center. Accordingly, if any installment of Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, Adjustments or any sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee on or before the date such sum is due as set forth in Section 5.1 above (the first of every month), then Tenant shall pay automatically to Landlord a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of the amount past due, but in no event more than the legal maximum on such past due amount, plus any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. Any such late charges shall be added to the next installment of Minimum Rent due under the Lease. The failure to pay any such late charge

 

24


with the next installment of Minimum Rent due shall be considered a default under this Lease. For the purposes hereof the term “past due” shall mean rents or other sums which are due but not received on or before the tenth (10th) of the month when due. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by the Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

 

24.4 Time of Essence; Unavoidable Delays. Time is of the essence of this Lease. Whenever, however, a period of time is herein provided for Landlord to do or perform any act or thing, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of such periods of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, national emergency, acts of the public enemy, governmental restrictions, laws or regulations, or any other cause or causes, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.

 

24.5 No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any of the acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than that of Landlord and Tenant.

 

24.6 Landlord’s Right of Entry. Upon 24 hour notice, Landlord, its agents and employees, shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises from time to time at reasonable times to examine the same and show them to prospective purchasers and other persons, and make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord deems desirable provided Landlord does not disturb Tenants right of Quiet Enjoyment. Rent shall in no way abate while any such repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions are being made. During the last six (6) months of the Lease term, Landlord may, with 24 hour notice to Tenant, exhibit the Demised Premises to prospective tenants and maintain upon the Premises notices or signs deemed advisable by Landlord. In addition, during any apparent emergency, Landlord or its agents may enter the Demised Premises forcibly without liability therefor and without in any manner affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for any care, maintenance or repair, except as otherwise herein expressly provided conditioned upon such repairs are made on a timely basis.

 

24.7 Holding Over. If Tenant holds over or occupies the Demised Premises beyond the Lease term (it being agreed there shall be no such holding over or occupancy without Landlord’s written consent), Tenant shall pay Landlord for each month of such holding over a sum equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) the then current minimum monthly rent, plus a pro rata portion of all other amounts which Tenant w would have been required to pay hereunder had this Lease been in effect. If Tenant holds over with or without Landlord’s written consent, Tenant shall occupy the Demised Premises on a month to month tenancy and all other terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable to such tenancy.

 

24.8 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or enforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

24.9 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed under the laws of the state of Nevada and venue for any action brought hereunder shall be in Clark County, Nevada.

 

24.10 Waivers. One or more waivers of any covenant, term or condition of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act. The failure by Landlord to invoke the provisions of any Articles of this Lease, including, but not limited to, Articles VII, XIX and XX during any Lease or calendar year of this Lease, shall not be deemed as a waiver by Landlord to hereafter invoke such provisions. Failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any provision or to exercise any remedy hereunder shall

 

25


not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach relating to such provision or giving rise to such remedy. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord.

 

24.11 Captions. The captions employed in this Lease are for convenience only and are not intended to in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this Lease. Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural, and words of any gender shall include each other gender wherever the context requires. This Lease shall not be construed against either party more or less favorably by reason of authorship or origin of language.

 

24.12 Financial Statements. Tenant agrees to promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Landlord upon demand (but in no event more frequently than once during any twelve (12) month period of time), a financial statement of Tenant and/or any Guarantor of this Lease in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

 

24.13 Relocation of Tenant. Intentionally deleted

 

24.14 Sale of Shopping Center. In the event of any sale or exchange of the Demised Premises by Landlord and assignment by Landlord of this Lease, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence, or omission relating to the Demised Premises or this Lease occurring after the consummation of such sale or exchange and assignment.

 

24.15 Landlord’s Access. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a right of access to, under or over the Demised Premises or any portion or portions thereof as shall be reasonably required for the installation or maintenance of mains, conduits, pipes or other facilities to serve the Shopping Center or any part thereof.

 

24.16 Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no agreement shall be effective to change, modify or terminate this Lease in whole or in part unless such agreement is in writing and duly signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, modification or termination is sought. It is understood and agreed by Tenant that Landlord and Landlord’s agents have made no representations or promises with respect to the Demised Premises or the making or entry into this Lease, except as in this Lease expressly set forth, and that no claim or liability or cause for termination shall be asserted by Tenant against Landlord for, and Landlord shall not be liable by reason of, the breach of any representation or promises not expressly stated in this Lease.

 

24.17 Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon paying all rents and other sums due hereunder and observing and performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be performed hereunder, shall peaceably and quietly enjoy the Demised Premises for the term hereof. In the event that Tenant is required to execute a SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT, Landlord shall use it’s best efforts to see that Tenant shall retain the right to quiet enjoyment under this Section.

 

24.18 Alternative Security. Intentionally deleted.

 

24.19 Measurement of Demised Premises. To the best of Landlord’s knowledge, Tenant’s Demised Premises contains the approximate square footage as shown in Paragraph 1.1 (f) above. Landlord has initially relied on architectural drawings which give approximate dimensions, with measurements based on industry standards, or on as-built dimensions supplied by contractor. Landlord may verify actual square footage with leased square footage. In the event of an error, Landlord reserves the right to adjust Tenant’s square footage to conform to actual dimensions, and to adjust Tenant’s charges accordingly.
