ARTICLE 2

TERM AND RENT

 

2.1                                 Term. The Initial Term of this Lease shall be as set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions. Provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Initial Term by the number of successive Renewal Terms described in the Fundamental Lease Provisions by giving Landlord written notice of its election to extend the term of this Lease by the succeeding Renewal Term not less than one (1) year prior to expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as the case may be. Excepting the amount of the Minimum Quarterly Rent, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during each Renewal Term. The Initial Term, as it may be extended by one or more Renewal Terms shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Lease Term.”

 

2.2                                 Quarterly Rent.

 

2.2.1                           For the use and occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-half (1/2) of Lease Year I Rent on July 15, 2000 and the remaining one-half (1/2) of Lease Year 1 Rent on September 15, 2000. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord Quarterly Rent commencing on January 1, 2001 and continuing on the first day of each April, July and October of each calendar thereafter during the Lease Term, without any offset or deduction except as provided in section 2.7 herein. Should the Lease Term commence on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the rental for such first fractional month shall be computed on a daily basis for the period from the Commencement Date to the end of such calendar month at an amount equal to 1/30th of the monthly Rent for each day. Should the Lease Term end on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the rental for such fractional month shall be computed on a daily basis at an amount equal to 1/30th of the monthly Rent for each day.  Tenant shall pay Landlord the Quarterly Rent in lawful money of the United States at the address for Landlord set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions, or to such other persons or at such other places as Landlord may designate in writing to Tenant.

 

2.2.2                           The Increase Percentage shall be determined as follows:

 

(a)                                  Quarterly Rent for Lease Years 1-10.  Except for payment of Lease Year 1 payments, the Quarterly Rent for Lease Years 1-10 shall be as set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions.

 

(b)                                 Quarterly Rent for Lease Years 11-20.  Commencing on the first day of the first month of the eleventh (11th) Lease Year (“First Adjustment Date”) Annual Rent shall be based upon a ten percent (10%) annual return or the value of the Premises as determined by an Appraisal (as defined in Section 2.2.3) of the Premises; provided, however, the Annual Rent for Lease Year 11 shall be (i) at a minimum of ten percent (10%) greater and

 

2

 



 

(ii) at a maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) greater than the Annual Rent for Lease Year 10 (“Lease Year 11 Rent”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord Quarterly Rent in twelve (12) equal installments of the Lease Year 11 Rent. For each of Lease Years 12-20 the Quarterly Rent shall be adjusted by increasing the Quarterly Rent by two and one-half percent (2.5%) over the immediately prior Lease Year Quarterly Rent. The Appraisal shall be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the First Adjustment Date.

 

(c)                                  Quarterly Rent for Lease Years 21-25. Commencing on the first day of the first month of the twenty-first (21st) Lease Year (“Second Adjustment Date”) Annual Rent shall be based upon a ten percent (10%) annual return on the value of the Premises as determined by an Appraisal of the Premises; provided, however, the Annual Rent for Lease Year 21 shall be (i) at a minimum of ten percent (10%) and (ii) at a maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) greater than the Annual Rent for Lease Year 20 (“Lease Year 21 Rent”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord Quarterly Rent as twelve (12) equal installments of the Lease Year 21 Rent. For each of Lease Years 22-25 the Quarterly Rent shall be adjusted by increasing the Quarterly Rent by two and one-half percent (2.5%) over the immediately prior Lease Year Quarterly Rent. The Appraisal (as defined in Section 4.5) shall be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Adjustment Date.

 

2.2.3                            Appraisal. Any appraisal required by this Lease shall be performed by an MAI certified Appraiser, which Appraiser is acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, each in its reasonable discretion, and is paid equally by Tenant and Landlord (“Appraisal”). In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on fair market rent for purposes of computing the value of the Premises as set forth herein, the parties shall apply the Baseball Arbitration method as set forth in Section 2.2.4 herein below to determine such value of the Premises

 

2.2.4                            Baseball Arbitration. For purposes of this Lease, Baseball Arbitration shall follow the following procedures:

 

(a)                                Within twenty (20) days after Landlord and Tenant disagree on the value of the Premises, Tenant and Landlord shall each select an arbitrator (“Tenant’s Arbitrator” and “Landlord’s Arbitrator”, respectively) who shall be a qualified and impartial person licensed in the State of Florida as a MAI appraiser (“Appraiser”) with at least five (5) years of experience in appraising the type of matters for which they are called on to appraise hereunder in the area where the Premises are located

 

(b)                               Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator shall name a third arbitrator, similarly qualified, within ten (10) days after the appointment of Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator.

 

(c)                                Said third arbitrator shall, after due consideration of the factors to be taken into account the prevailing market rate for base rent for tenants of comparable quality for lease extensions in property of comparable size, age, use, location and quality in the area where the Premises are located, taking into consideration the extent of the availability of such property as large as the Premises in the marketplace and all other economic terms then customarily prevailing in such similar ground leases in said marketplace, and hearing whatever evidence the arbitrator deems appropriate from the Appraiser, Landlord, Tenant, Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator and others and obtaining any other information the arbitrator deems necessary, in good faith, make its own determination of the fair market rental and/or value, as applicable for the Premises as of the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term(s) and within (30) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator, determine the fair market rent and/or value, as applicable for the Premises. The third arbitrator’s determination shall be in writing and counterparts thereof shall be delivered to Landlord and Tenant within said thirty (30) day period. The arbitrator shall have no right or ability to determine the fair market rent and/or value in any other manner. The third arbitrator’s determination shall be binding upon the parties hereto.

 

(d)                            The costs and fees of the third arbitrator shall be paid equally by both Landlord and Tenant.

 

3

 



 

2.3                                 Impositions. In addition to the Minimum Quarterly Rent, as increased, Tenant shall pay to the parties respectively entitled thereto all impositions, insurance premiums, Taxes (as defined in Article 4), operating charges, maintenance charges, construction costs, accounting and legal fees, and any other charges, costs and expenses which arise or may be contemplated under any provision of this Lease during the Lease Term (collectively, the “Impositions”). Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, promptly after payment of any Taxes or insurance premiums, and, with respect to any other Impositions, promptly upon request of Landlord, official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing payment of such Impositions. Upon Tenant’s failure to pay such Impositions or failure to provide such proof, Landlord shall have the option to require Tenant to deposit with Landlord (i) funds sufficient for the payment of the current Impositions required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, and (ii) one-twelfth of the current annual or annualized Impositions, as the case may be (or those of the preceding years if the current amounts thereof have not been fixed), in advance and on the same day upon which the Minimum Quarterly Rent is due.

 

2.4                                 Late Charge.  If any installment of the Quarterly Minimum Rent, any Imposition or any other payment provided for under this Lease which is payable by Tenant is not received by Landlord within five days of the date when due, Tenant shall immediately pay Landlord an amount equal to 5% of the overdue amount as a late charge (the “Late Charge”).  Landlord and Tenant agree that the Late Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of the Late Charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease.

 

2.5                                 Interest on Overdue Amounts.  The Minimum Quarterly Rent, the Impositions and all other amounts due Landlord under this Lease which are not paid when due shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the “prime rate” (or substantial equivalent) announced from time to time (as adjusted quarterly) by Bank of America, plus 2%, from the date due until paid; provided, however, that if such rate shall exceed the lawful rate of interest which Landlord is entitled to charge under applicable law, then the per annum rate of interest on any such overdue amounts shall be the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

 

2.6                                 Net Lease. This Lease is what is commonly called a “triple net lease,” it being understood that Landlord shall receive the Minimum Quarterly Rent free and clear of any and all Taxes, other Impositions, liens, charges, or expenses of any nature whatsoever incurred in connection with the ownership and operation of the Premises.

 

2.7                                 Right of Offset. Tenant shall have the right to collect sums due from Landlord for “Damages” as defined in that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets and Related Ground Lease dated as of April 28, 2000, executed by and between Landlord and Tenant (“Purchase Agreement”) by offsets from time to time against the Quarterly Rent due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, which offsets shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Rent payable during any calendar year, as limited in the Purchase Agreement.  Upon determination of the offset amount between Tenant and Landlord as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, Tenant, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord, shall have the right to offset such amount from the next Quarterly Rent due Landlord. Tenant shall not be deemed to be in Default under this Lease as a result of the exercise of its offset rights and Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant thereto.

 

2.8                                 Early Termination. In the event Tenant exercises its Recission Election (as such term is defined in Section 7.4 of the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to the terms and conditions pertaining to Tenant’s recission rights under the Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to Tenant’s right to elect to remove any and all capital improvements made by Tenant on the Premises and Landlord’s payment of all sums to Tenant as required under the Purchase Agreement, Tenant shall assign and delegate its interest in this Lease to Landlord and all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall terminate.

 

ARTICLE 3

USE OF THE PREMISES

 

3.1                                 Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use. Tenant may not use the Premises for any other purpose without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant has satisfied itself, and represents to Landlord, that such use is lawful and conforms to all applicable zoning and other use restrictions and regulations applicable to the Premises.

 

4



 

3.2                                    Condition of Premises.  Tenant accepts the Premises in its “as is” condition. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord makes no warranty of any kind with respect to the Premises except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

3.3                                    Compliance With Law.

 

3.3.1                        Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, comply in all respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, of any governmental authorities and with any directive of any public officer which shall impose any violation, order or duty upon Landlord or Tenant with respect to the Premises or the use or occupation thereof or signage thereon, including, without limitation, any governmental law or statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, policy or rule of common law now or hereafter in effect relating to the environment, health or safety.

 

3.3.2                            Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used in any manner which will result in waste or the creation of a nuisance, and Tenant shall maintain the Premises reasonably free of any objectionable noises, odors, or disturbances.

 

3.4                                    Environmental Compliance.

 

3.4.1                        Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, or used in or about the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold as long as Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that such Hazardous Material is necessary or useful to Tenant’s business and will be used, kept, and stored in a manner that complies with all laws relating to such Hazardous Material.) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5, if Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence, and if the presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the Premises, and Landlord has not caused the contamination, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space of the Premises, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultation fees, and expert fees) which arise during or after the term of this Lease as a result of such contamination.  This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation or site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state, or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on or under the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises not caused by Landlord results in any contamination of the Premises, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are recommended by environmental engineers hired by Tenant or Landlord and are necessary to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material to the Premises; provided that Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises.

 

3.4.2                        The provisions of this Section shall survive for a period of five (5) years following the expiration or termination of the Lease Term.

 

Capitalized terms used in this Section and not otherwise defined herein shall have the following meanings:

 

Hazardous Materials” means any substance, material, or waste which is toxic, ignitable, reactive, or corrosive and which is or becomes regulated by the local or state governmental authority or the United States Government The term “Hazardous Material” includes, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i) defined as a “hazardous waste,” “extremely hazardous waste,” “restricted hazardous waste,” “hazardous substance,” or “hazardous material,” by any local, state or federal law, (ii) oil and petroleum products and their by-products, (iii) asbestos, or asbestos-containing materials, (iv) designated as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, (v) defined as a “hazardous waste” pursuant to the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or (vi) defined as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.

 

5

3.5                                 Tenant’s Responsibility for Hazardous Materials. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord may become legally liable for the costs of complying with Laws relating to Hazardous Material which are not caused by Landlord or Tenant including the following: (i) Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on the Premises prior to or following the Commencement Date of this Lease; (ii) a change in Laws which relate to Hazardous Material which make Hazardous Material present on the Premises as of the Commencement Date, whether known or unknown to Landlord, a violation of such new Laws; (iii) Hazardous Material that migrates, flows, percolates, diffuses, or in any way moves on to or under the Premises before or after the Commencement Date; (iv) Hazardous Material present or under the Premises as a result of any discharge, dumping, or spilling (whether accidental or otherwise) on the Premises by other tenants of the Premises or their agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, or by others.

To the extent any such expense relating to Hazardous Material is subsequently recovered or reimbursed through insurance, or recovery from responsible third parties, or other action, Tenant shall be entitled to a reimbursement to the extent it has paid the maintenance expense to which such recovery or reimbursement relates.

TAXES AND UTILITIES

 

4.1                                Payment of Taxes. Tenant shall pay the Taxes (as defined in the following Section) applicable to the Premises during the Lease Term. Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of any tax bills applicable to the Premises promptly after receipt of such bills. All such payments shall be made at least 15 days prior to the delinquency date of such payment. Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence that such Taxes have been paid. If any such Taxes paid by Tenant shall cover any period of time after the expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant to the extent required within thirty (30) days after receiving notice from Tenant and a copy of the paid Tax bill provided Tenant is not otherwise in default. If Tenant shall fail to pay any such Taxes, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay the same, in which case Tenant shall repay such amount plus any penalties and interest resulting therefrom to Landlord within 5 days after receipt of a bill therefor.

 

4.2                                Definition of “Taxes”. As used herein, the term “Taxes” shall include:

 

4.2.1                        any form of real estate tax or assessment, ad valorem tax or gross receipts tax, imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state, or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage, or other improvement district thereof, on, against or with respect to the Premises, this Lease, any legal or equitable interest of Landlord or any superior landlord in the Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, Landlord’s right to rent or other income therefrom, and Landlord’s business of leasing the Premises;

4.2.2                        any tax, fee, levy, assessment, penalty, interest or other charge (i) in substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment, or charge hereinabove included within this definition of Taxes, or (ii) any tax or increase in any tax which is imposed as a result of a transfer, either partial or total, of Landlord’s interest in the Premises to Tenant, or (iii) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof; and

 

4.2.3                        all inspection fees, taxes, bonds, permits, certificates, assessments and sales, use, property or other taxes, fees or tolls of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed against Landlord or Tenant by any federal, state, county or local governmental authority upon or with respect to the Premises or the use thereof or upon the possession, leasing, use, operation or other disposition thereof or upon the rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom or upon or with respect to this Lease; and

 

4.2.4                        all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere, which Tenant shall cause to be separately assessed and billed directly to Tenant

 

Tenant shall pay when due or reimburse and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Taxes” shall not include any general income taxes, inheritance taxes, and estate taxes imposed upon Landlord.

 

4.3                                 Tenant’s Right to Contest Taxes.

 

4.3.1                        Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Taxes by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, but no such contest shall be carried on or maintained by Tenant after the time limit for the payment of any Taxes unless Tenant shall (i) pay the amount involved under protest; (ii) procure and maintain a stay of all proceedings to enforce any collection of any Taxes, together with all penalties, interest, costs and expenses, by a deposit of a sufficient sum of money, or by such undertaking, as may be required or permitted by law to accomplish such stay; or (iii) deposit with Landlord, as security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder with respect to such Taxes, 125% of such contested amount or such other reasonable security as may be demanded by Landlord to insure payment of such contested Taxes and all penalties, interest, costs and expenses which may accrue during the period of the contest. Upon the termination of any such proceedings, Tenant shall pay the amount of such Taxes or part thereof, as finally determined in such proceedings, together with any costs, fees (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), penalties or other liabilities in connection therewith; provided, however, that if Tenant has deposited cash or cash equivalents with Landlord as security under clause (iii) above, then, so long as no default exists under this Lease, Landlord shall arrange to pay such Taxes (or part thereof) together with the applicable costs, fees and liabilities as described above out of such cash or cash equivalents and return any unused balance, if any, to Tenant. Otherwise, Landlord shall return to Tenant all amounts, if any, held by or on behalf of Landlord which were deposited by Tenant in accordance with such clause (iii).

 

4.3.2                        Tenant shall have the right, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder and it provides advance written notice to Landlord, at its cost and expense, to seek a reduction in the valuation of the Premises as assessed for tax purposes and to prosecute any action or proceeding in connection therewith. Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall be authorized to retain any tax refund of any tax paid by Tenant.

 

4.3.3                        Landlord agrees that whenever Landlord’s cooperation is required in any proceeding brought by Tenant to contest any tax, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate therein, provided same shall not entail any cost, liability or expense to Landlord. Tenant shall pay, indemnify and save Landlord harmless of and from, any and all liabilities, losses, judgments, decrees, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the final settlement, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, and Tenant shall perform and observe all acts and obligations, the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof. No such contest shall subject Landlord to the risk of any civil liability or the risk of any criminal liability, and Tenant shall give such reasonable indemnity or security to Landlord as may reasonably be demanded by Landlord to insure compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section.

4.3.4                        Upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder, or if required by Landlord’s lender, Tenant agrees that upon Landlord’s election, Tenant shall establish such escrows for the payment of taxes as Landlord or Landlord’s lender may require. If established, Tenant shall pay all the aforesaid taxes and assessments in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month in advance in an amount estimated by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to bill monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. In the event Landlord is required under any mortgage covering the Premises to escrow real estate taxes, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, use the amount required to be so escrowed, as a basis for its estimate of the monthly installments due from Tenant hereunder. Upon receipt of all tax bills and assessments attributable to any calendar year during the term hereof, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement of the actual amount of the taxes and assessments for such year. In the event no tax bill is available, Tenant will compute the amount of such tax. If the total amount paid by Tenant under this section for any calendar year during the term of this Lease shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant for such year, as shown on such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, such deficiency to be paid within seven (7) days after demand therefor by Landlord; and if the total amount paid by Tenant hereunder for any such calendar year shall exceed such actual amount due from Tenant for such calendar year, such excess shall be credited against the next installment of taxes and assessments due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder. All amounts due hereunder shall be payable to Landlord at the place where the fixed minimum annual rental is payable. Tenant’s obligations under this section shall survive the expiration of the term of this Lease.

 

4.4                                   Payment of Utilities.  Tenant shall pay to the utility companies or other parties entitled to payment the cost of all water, heat, air conditioning, gas, electricity, telephone, and other utilities and services provided to or for the Premises, including, without limitation, connection fees and taxes thereon.  In the case of any utilities or services which are not separately metered and billed directly to Tenant, but are metered jointly with other premises, Tenant shall pay to the parties entitled thereto, a pro rata share based on Tenant’s usage of such utilities and services. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right at any time, to seek a reduction in the utility charges that are to be paid by the Tenant.

 

4.5                                   Interruption in Utility Service.  Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility or other service being furnished to the Premises, and no such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of, set off or reduction in the amounts payable to Landlord hereunder or otherwise entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease.

5.2                                 Policy Form.

 

5.2.1                        Tenant shall obtain all policies of insurance required by Section 5.1 from insurance companies having an A.M. Best rating of A- or better which are qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Premises are situated. All such policies shall be issued in the names of Landlord, Maxwell Joseph Bruner, George Brown and Tenant, and if requested by Landlord, any mortgagee or beneficiary of Landlord, as additional insureds.  In addition, all such policies providing coverage for physical damage include loss payee and mortgagee endorsement in favor of Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee or beneficiary, respectively and as applicable.  The Tenant shall cause copies of such policies of insurance or originally executed certificates thereof to be delivered to Landlord prior to Landlord’s execution of this Lease, and not less than 30 days prior to any renewal thereof. As often as any such policy shall expire or terminate, Tenant shall procure and maintain renewal or additional policies with like terms. None of such policies shall contain any co-insurance requirements and all such policies shall provide for written notice to Landlord and any mortgagee or beneficiary of Landlord not less than 10 days prior to any modification, cancellation, lapse, or reduction in the amounts of insurance, and shall further provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Landlord or Tenant which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or part of the payment of such loss. All general liability, property damage, and other casualty policies shall be written on an occurrence basis as primary policies, not contributing with or in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry.

 

5.2.2                        Tenant’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for above may be brought within the coverage of an “umbrella” policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant; provided, however, that such policy or policies shall (i) have limits of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) name Landlord and any mortgagee or beneficiary of Landlord as additional insureds as their interests may appear, and (iii) provide that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policies. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord at all reasonable times to inspect any policies of insurance of Tenant which Tenant has not delivered to Landlord.

 

5.2.3                        Landlord and Tenant agree that the insurance coverage required herein above are satisfactory at the inception of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant understand that the insurance requirements may reasonably change periodically during the Lease Term and, in the event of such changes, the minimum requirements of types of insurance, amounts of insurance and risks covered shall change. If at any time the Landlord and Tenant do not agree on such reasonably changed insurance requirements, then such dispute shall be referred to a mutually agreeable independent insurance consultant for a final decision.  If the parties cannot mutually agree on an independent insurance consultant, an independent insurance consultant shall be selected by lot with the Landlord suggesting one independent consultant and the Tenant selecting the other independent consultant. The decision of the independent insurance consultant so selected shall be final.

 

5.3                                 Subrogation Waiver.  Landlord (for itself and its insurer) hereby waives any rights, including rights of subrogation, and Tenant (for itself and its insurer) hereby waives any rights, including rights of subrogation, each may have against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to their respective property, the Premises or its contents that are caused by or result from risks insured against under any insurance policies carried by the parties hereto and in force at the time of any such damage. The foregoing waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so long as available in the jurisdiction where the Premises are located and so long as no policy of insurance is invalidated thereby.

 

5.4                                 Payment of Insurance.  In the event that Tenant shall fail to obtain the insurance policies required hereunder or to pay the premiums due for the insurance policies required hereby, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the same in which case Tenant shall repay such amount plus any penalties or additional amounts resulting therefrom to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of a bill therefor plus interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

 

5.5                                 Insurance Use Restrictions.  Tenant shall not carry any stock or goods or do anything in, on, or about the Premises which will substantially increase the rates of the insurance currently placed upon the building of

which the Premises are a part, as long as Landlord shall not be responsible for such increased rates, and such increase will terminate upon termination of this Lease.

 

5.6                                 Indemnification.  Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for, defend Landlord against, and save Landlord harmless from, any liability, loss, cost, injury, damage or other expense or risk whatsoever that may occur or be claimed by or with respect to any person(s) or property on or about the Premises and resulting directly or indirectly from

 

(a)                                    the use, misuse, occupancy, possession or disuse of the Premises by Tenant or other persons claiming through or under Tenant, or their respective agents, employees, licensees, invitees, guests or other such persons;

 

(b)                                   the condition of the Premises;

 

(c)                                    any work or thing done in respect of construction of, in or to the Premises or any part of the improvements now or hereafter constructed on the Premises (other than work by Landlord);

 

(d)                                   any use, possession, occupation, operation, maintenance or management of the Premises or any part hereof caused by person’s other than Landlord;

 

(e)                                    any failure to, or to properly, use, possess, occupy, operate, maintain or manage the Premises or any part thereof caused by person’s other than Landlord;

 

(f)                                      the condition, including environmental conditions, of the Premises or any part thereof caused by person’s other than Landlord;

 

(g)                                   any negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees;

 

(h)                                 any accident, injury or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof including any sidewalk adjacent thereto; or

 

(i)                                     any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or complied with.

 

Landlord shall indemnify Tenant for, defend Tenant against, and save Tenant harmless from, any liability, loss, cost, injury or other expense or risk whatsoever that may occur or be claimed by or with respect to any person(s) or property on or about the Premises and resulting directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

 

ARTICLE 6

6.1                                 Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain in good repair, order, and serviceable condition the Premises and every part thereof, including, without limitation, all buildings and improvements, and all equipment and systems servicing the Premises. Tenant shall at all times keep the parking lot, parking lot lighting, exterior walls, glass, partitions, doors, fixtures, equipment and appurtenances thereof in a reasonably satisfactory condition of cleanliness. Tenant shall not make any claim or demand upon or bring any action against Landlord for any loss, cost, injury, damage or other expense caused by any failure or defect, structural or non-structural, of the Premises or any part thereof, including the improvements and buildings thereon, unless such loss or defect is caused directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord occurring after the date hereof.

 

10



 

6.2                                   Landlord’s Obligations.  Landlord have no obligation to repair and maintain the Premises, nor any improvements or equipment thereon, whether interior or exterior, structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary.  Tenant expressly waives the benefit of any statute or law now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition, and repair, or the right to repair and offset the cost related thereto against rent.

 

6.3                                   Landlord’s Rights. If Tenant refuses or neglects to make repairs or maintain the Premises, or any part thereof, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have hereunder, upon giving Tenant 20 days prior written notice, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises and perform such maintenance or make such repairs on behalf of and for the account of Tenant.  In the event Landlord so elects, Tenant shall pay the cost of such repairs, maintenance, or replacements within 5 days following receipt of a bill therefor. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord or its agent to enter the Premises, upon reasonable notice by Landlord, during normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting the Premises.

 

ARTICLE 7
ALTERATIONS

 

7.1                                 Consent to Alterations. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make alterations, replacements, additions, changes, and improvements (collectively referred to in this Article as “Alterations”) to the Building as it may find necessary or convenient for its purposes. Upon completion of any substantial work, Tenant shall provide to Landlord “as-built” plans, building permits, governmental inspection reports and all other required governmental approvals, and proof of payment of all labor and materials. Subject to Section 7.5, Tenant shall pay when due all claims for such labor and materials and shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the commencement of any such work. Landlord may enter upon the Premises, in such case, for the purpose of posting appropriate notices, including, but not limited to, notices of non-responsibility.

 

7.2                                 Removal of Alterations.  All Alterations made on the Premises shall become the property of Landlord at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term and shall be surrendered with the Premises free and clear of all liens and otherwise in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations applicable thereto, provided, however, Landlord shall have the right at any time prior to the termination of this Lease to require Tenant to remove all Buildings and/or other improvements and/or alterations on the Premises at its sole cost and expense and otherwise in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. The obligations of Tenant pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

7.3                                 Alterations Required by Law.  Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, make any Alteration, structural or otherwise, to or on the Premises, or any part thereof, which may be necessary or required by reason of any law, rule, regulation, or order promulgated by competent government authority.

 

7.4                                 General Conditions Relating to Alterations.  Any Alteration shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

7.4.1                      No Alteration shall be undertaken until Tenant shall have procured and paid for all required permits and authorizations of all municipal departments and governmental subdivisions having jurisdiction.

 

7.4.2                      Any Alteration involving an estimated cost of more than $50,000 shall be conducted under the supervision of a licensed architect or engineer selected by Tenant and satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be made in accordance with detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates prepared by such architect or engineer and approved in writing in advance by Landlord.

 

7.4.3                      Any Alteration shall be made promptly and in a good workmanlike manner, by properly qualified and licensed personnel, and in compliance with all applicable permits and authorizations and building and zoning laws and all laws, and in accordance with the orders, rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Insurance

Underwriters and any other body hereafter exercising similar functions having or asserting jurisdiction over the Premises.

 

7.4.4                        No Alteration shall tie-in or connect the Premises or any improvements thereon with any property outside the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

7.4.5                        No Alteration shall reduce the value of the Premises or impair the structural integrity of any building comprising a part of the Premises.

 

7.4.6                        In connection with any Alteration involving an estimated cost in excess of $50,000, Landlord may require Tenant to post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to insure the completion of such Alteration.

 

7.5                                 Liens.  In connection with Alterations or otherwise, Tenant shall do all things reasonably necessary to prevent the filing of any liens or encumbrances against the Premises, or any part thereof, or upon any interest of Landlord or any mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust or any ground or underlying lessor in any portion of the Premises, by reason of labor, services or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Tenant, or anyone holding the Premises, or any part thereof, through or under Tenant. If any such lien or encumbrance shall at any time be filed against all or any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall either cause same to be discharged of record within 30 days after the date of filing of same or, if Tenant in good faith determines that such lien should be contested, Tenant shall either (i) bond over such lien in accordance with applicable law, or (ii) furnish such security as Landlord shall reasonably determine to be necessary and/or required to prevent any foreclosure proceedings against all or any portion of the Premises during the pendency of such contest. If Tenant shall fail to discharge or bond over such lien or encumbrance or fail to furnish such security within such period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord resulting from said default of Tenant, 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 giving security or in such other manner as is, or may be, prescribed by law, and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord within 10 days after demand for all costs, expenses, and other sums of money spent in connection therewith.

 

ARTICLE 8
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION, OBLIGATION TO REBUILD

 

8.1                                 Obligation to Rebuild.  If any portion of the Building is substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall forthwith give notice thereof to Landlord. Tenant shall either

 

8.1.1                        Obtain an estimate from a licensed architect or contractor of the cost to complete such repair, restoration, rebuilding or replacement, and Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly repair, restore, rebuild or replace the damaged or destroyed Building, improvements, fixtures or equipment, and complete the same as soon as reasonably possible, to the condition they were in prior to such damage or destruction, except for such changes in design or materials as may then be required by law, or

 

8.1.2                        Demolish and clear the Building improvements damaged so that the Premises is in a safe and clean condition, in compliance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Premises, including, but not limited to, capping all utilities.

 

In either event, Landlord shall, to the extent and at the times the proceeds of the insurance are made available to Landlord, and only so long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease, reimburse Tenant for the costs of making such repairs, restoration, rebuilding, replacements or demolition as they are completed, but not more often than once each month, upon receipt of a written request therefor, which request shall be accompanied by a certification from Tenant’s architect certifying as to completion of the work for which reimbursement is being requested. To the extent, if any, that the proceeds of insurance made available by Landlord are insufficient to pay the entire cost of making such repairs, restoration, rebuilding, replacements or demolition, Tenant shall pay the

 

12



 

Remainder. Any surplus of insurance proceeds over the cost of restoration or demolition, net of all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the administration thereof, shall be promptly paid over to Tenant.

 

8.2                                 No Abatement of Rent. Notwithstanding the partial or total destruction of the Premises and any part thereof, there shall be no abatement of rent or of any other obligation of Tenant hereunder by reason of such damage or destruction.

 

ARTICLE 9
EMINENT DOMAIN

 

9.1                                 Total Taking.  If the entire Premises are taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate and expire as of the date of such taking, and upon Tenant’s payment to Landlord of all rents accruing through such date, Landlord and Tenant shall each thereafter be released from any further liability accrued under this Lease. In the event that Tenant shall have paid any rent for any period beyond the date of such taking, Landlord shall reimburse same, pro rata.

 

9.2                                 Partial Taking.  In the event that (i) more than 25% of the Premises, or of the parking area serving the Premises and owned by the Landlord, is taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, (ii) by reason of any appropriation or taking, regardless of the amount so taken, the remainder of the Premises is not one undivided parcel of property, or (iii) as a result of any taking, regardless of the amount so taken, the remainder of the Premises is rendered unsuitable for the continued operation of Tenant’s business, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date Tenant is required to vacate a portion of the Premises, by giving the other notice of such election within 30 days after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of written notice that the Premises have been so appropriated or taken. The taking which affects fifty (50%) percent or more of the Building and improvements on the Premises shall be considered, as Tenant’s option, a substantial taking as would render the use of the Premises not suitable for Tenant’s use. Landlord agrees immediately after learning of any appropriation or taking to give to Tenant notice in writing thereof. In the event of such termination, upon Tenant’s payment to Landlord of all rents accruing through such date, both Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be released from any future liability thereafter accruing hereunder. If both parties elect not to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall remain in that portion of the Premises not so taken and Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises as soon as possible to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to such taking. So long as this Lease is not terminated in the manner provided above, there shall be an equitable adjustment of the rent payable by Tenant hereunder by reason of such partial taking. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any partial taking of the Premises under the power of eminent domain.

 

9.3                                 Distribution of Award. The entire award or compensation in such eminent domain proceeding, whether for a total or partial taking or for diminution in the value of the fee (and not the improvements installed thereon by Tenant or Tenant’s interest in this Lease) shall be distributed to Landlord. Tenant may apply for award of the value of Tenant’s building and the improvements, personal property, loss of income, relocation costs, improvements and the value of the leasehold interest created hereby, according to the law in effect in the jurisdiction where the Premises are located, so long as such award does not diminish the value of Landlord’s award.

 

ARTICLE 10
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

10.1                           Landlord’s Consent Required.

 

10.1.1                  Tenant shall not assign this Lease or Tenant’s interest in and to the Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.

 

13



 

For purposes of this Article, the terms “assign” and “assignment” shall include any (i) act attempting to, or document purporting to, assign, transfer, sublet, enter into license or concession agreements for, change ownership of, mortgage or hypothecate this Lease or Tenant’s interest in and to the Premises or any part thereof, (ii) change in the majority ownership or power to control Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for a transfer, sale, assignment or sublease of all or any portion of the Lease or the Premises by Tenant to an Affiliate (defined below), provided however, that in each instance, Tenant shall provide Landlord with thirty (30) days prior written notice of such transfer, sale, assignment and/or sublease.

 

For purposes of this Lease, an “Affiliate” of Tenant shall be defined as any person or entity which directly controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. For purposes of this definition the term “control” shall mean the power to direct management and policies of Tenant through the ownership of voting securities or equity interests. Such transfers shall not be binding upon Landlord until and unless Landlord is in receipt of a written acknowledgement by such affiliate specifically assuming the obligations of Tenant arising hereunder and setting forth such other information as Landlord may reasonably require.

 

10.1.2                  Any assignee, transferee, licensee, concessionaire, or mortgagee shall agree for the benefit of Landlord to be bound by, assume, and perform all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease.

 

10.1.3                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not sublet, assign or enter to a management arrangement for the Premises on any basis such that the rent or other amounts to be paid by any subtenant, assignee or manager thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived from the business activities of such subtenant, assignee or manager on the Premises.

 

10.2                           No Release of Tenant.  No assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.  In the event of default by any assignee of Tenant or any successor Tenant, in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, upon notice to Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and after obtaining Tenant’s or such successor’s consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

11.2.2                  Maintain Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have vacated or abandoned the Premises.

Tenant shall have the right, at any time during the term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install and affix in, to, or on the Premises, such Trade Fixtures for use in Tenant’s trade or business as Tenant, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable.

In the event of such removal, any damage occasioned to the Premises shall be fully repaired at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.

 

13.4                           Removal of Trade Fixtures. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided Tenant is not in default, Tenant may remove (i) Tenant’s movable Trade Fixtures and other personal property not permanently affixed to the Premises; and (ii) the alterations and additions and signs made by Tenant to the Premises (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”).

Landlord agrees to execute such reasonable and necessary documents to confirm Landlord’s foregoing covenant in favor of Tenant’s lienholders or mortgagees. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 13 to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be deemed to have subordinated its fee interest in and to the Premises to the interest of Tenant or Tenant’s financing or shall Landlord be deemed to have subordinated any residual interest in and to the insurance and/or condemnation proceeds payable to Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 14

14.4.2                  such assignment will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, relating to the Premises; and

 

14.4.3                  the proposed assignment will not release or impair any guaranty of all or any portion of this Lease.

 

14.5                           Reasonable Charges. When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Premises, such charges shall not be less than the Minimum Quarterly Rent and all additional amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid at the times and when due as though such charges were Minimum Quarterly Rent and such additional payments.

ARTICLE 17
LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE FINANCING

 

17.1                           Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may enter into certain financing arrangements with various lenders (the “Lenders”), and, in connection therewith, is required to secure all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities under such financing arrangements by granting a mortgage, deed of trust, collateral assignment of the Lease, or any other documentation reasonably required in connection with such financing (each a “Leasehold Mortgage” and collectively, “Leasehold Mortgages”) with respect to its interest in this Lease and in the Premises.

 

17.2                           Tenant is given the right by Landlord to enter into any recordable Leasehold Mortgage to the extent the same is solely limited to the leasehold interest of Tenant and does not increase the rights of the Lenders beyond the leasehold interest of Tenant in the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided by this consent: (a) it is expressly understood that such consent to the execution and recordation of a Leasehold Mortgage by Tenant does not constitute approval by Landlord of any of the provisions of the Leasehold Mortgage; and (b) if there is a conflict between a Leasehold Mortgage and this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control.

 

17.3                           If Tenant mortgages or grants to Lender a security interest in Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the Premises, and if Lender sends to Landlord a true copy of the Leasehold Mortgage executed in connection therewith, together with a written notice specifying the name and address of Agent, so long as such Leasehold Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the holder to Landlord, the following provisions shall apply:

 

17.3.1                  There shall be no cancellation, surrender, acceptance of surrender, amendment, or modification of this Lease by joint action of Landlord and Tenant, or by Tenant alone, without in each case, written notice to Lender. Nor shall any merger result from the acquisition by, or devolution upon, any one entity of the fee and the leasehold estates of the Premises.

 

17.3.2                  Landlord shall, upon serving Tenant with any notice or other communication, whether of default or any other matter, simultaneously serve a copy of such notice upon Lender. However, Landlord’s failure to deliver such notice to Lender shall not constitute a default or breach by Landlord under this Lease. Nevertheless, Landlord may not undertake any action to enforce any of its rights under this Lease in connection with the notice given to Tenant unless and until a copy of the same is served upon Lender.

 

17.3.3                  In the event of any default by Tenant under the Lease, Lender shall have, after service of notice of such default, the same period to remedy or cause to be remedied the default complained of as Tenant has under this Lease, and Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of Lender as if the same had been rendered by Tenant. Each notice of default given by Landlord shall state the amounts of rent and whatever other payments are being claimed to be in default.

 

20



 

17.3.4                  Landlord agrees that (i) Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy any default by Tenant under this Lease by performing any applicable term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease, and (ii) Landlord shall accept such performance by Lender with the same force and effect as if furnished by Tenant, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

 

17.3.5                  No more often than two times during any twelve month period, Landlord, within ten (10) business days after a request in writing by Tenant or Lender, shall furnish a written statement, duly acknowledged, that this Lease is in full force and effect and that there are no defaults thereunder by Tenant, or if there are any defaults, such statement shall specify the defaults Landlord claims to exist.

18.4                           Surrender of Premises.  Except for changes resulting from eminent domain proceedings, at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises, including all buildings and improvements, in the same condition as the Premises were in upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall surrender all keys for the Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of rent and shall inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the Premises. Tenant shall at such time remove all of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures as set forth in Section 13.4 above.  If Tenant shall so surrender the Premises, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay.

Landlord’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant hereunder, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding default at the time of acceptance of such rent.

 

18.10                     Recording.  Either Landlord or Tenant shall, upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other a “short form” memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.
