Section 3.4 LATE CHARGES.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord without demand a late charge equal to one hundred dollars ($100) if any payment is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days after the due date. Tenant acknowledges that such late charge is not a penalty, but is to compensate Landlord for the additional administrative expenses and other expenses incurred by Landlord in handling delinquent payments (which expenses are not readily ascertainable), and is in addition to, not in lieu of, interest on late payments as provided herein and any other remedies that Landlord may have by virtue of Tenant’s failure to make payments when due. Interest on any payment of Rent not received by Landlord on or before the date when due shall accrue from the date when due to and including the date such payment is received by Landlord at the rate of 5 percent (5%) per annum, but in no event in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted under applicable law from time to time (the “Default Rate”).

The foregoing waiver shall apply regardless of the cause or origin of such claim, including but not limited to the negligence of a party, or such party’s agents, officers, employees or contractors. The foregoing waiver shall not apply if it would have the effect, but only to the extent of such effect, of invalidating any insurance coverage of Landlord or Tenant. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if any, required by their respective insurers to evidence compliance with the aforementioned waiver.

Section 6.2 CASUALTY.

 

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Section, in the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Tenant shall forthwith repair the Premises to a state ready for restoration.

 

(b)  Should it become necessary for the Landlord to make such repairs after a casualty, then the provisions of this Section with respect to repair by Landlord shall be limited to such repair as is necessary to place the Premises in the condition similar to that as of the Commencement Date of the Lease, normal wear and tear excepted, and when placed in such condition the Premises shall be deemed restored and rendered tenantable. Promptly following Landlord’s restoration work Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform the work required to place the Premises in the condition to operate its business, and Tenant shall also repair or replace its stock in trade, fixtures, personal property, furniture, furnishings, floor coverings and equipment, and if Tenant has closed, Tenant shall promptly reopen for business. Any such repairs conducted by Landlord shall be considered Additional Rent and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such sum as Additional Rent, plus an administrative fee of fifteen percent (15%) upon demand.

 

(b) Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any repairs or replacement of any improvements, or any other property installed in or located on the Premises by Tenant.

 

ARTICLE VII - CONDEMNATION

 

Section 7.1 CONDEMNATION. In the event that all or any part of the Premises is acquired by a public or quasi-public entity through the use of the power of eminent domain or through a sale in lieu thereof, then, in that event, it is understood Tenant hereby waives and forfeits any and all claims in the nature or apportionment of the compensation paid for the property taken (including, but not limited to, land, building, site, improvements, and fixtures) and damages to the property remaining (including, but not limited to, damage to land, building, site improvements, and fixtures). Tenant shall retain its claims solely for business damages, relocation costs and trade fixtures against the condemning authority. Tenant shall not interfere with the aforesaid rights reserved by Landlord, Landlord’s claims, Landlord’s defenses to any taking or Landlord’s ability to settle with a condemning authority.

 

ARTICLE VIII - ASSIGNMENT/SUBLETTING

 

Section 8.1 ASSIGNMENT/SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease or any interest hereunder, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any party other than Tenant. A transfer of a majority of the ownership interest or voting control in Tenant whether by a single transfer or in the aggregate by several transfers shall be considered an assignment subject to this Section. Should Landlord consent to any assignment, transfer, mortgage or encumbrance or sublease of this Lease, it shall not constitute a waiver of the rights of Landlord under this Lease. If allowed, any assignee or transferee of Tenant, at the option of Landlord, shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, but no sublease, assignment or transfer by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any liability hereunder. Any assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be void and shall be deemed a Default. If Landlord consents to a proposed sublease or assignment, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a copy of the unexecuted sublease or assignment, which must provide for the assumption of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Any sums paid by a sublessee or assignee in excess of the amounts due under this Lease shall be the property of and paid to the Landlord. At any time, Landlord may require that any rent or other sums paid by a sublessee or assignee be paid directly to Landlord.

ARTICLE IX - DEFAULT/REMEDIES/LIABILITY/SURRENDER

 

Section 9.1 DEFAULT. This Lease is made upon the condition that Tenant shall punctually and faithfully perform all of the covenants, conditions and agreements by it to be performed as in this Lease set forth. The following shall each be deemed to be an event of default (each of which is sometimes referred to as a “Default” in this Lease):

 

(a)  Tenant shall fail to pay when due any Rent or other sums due any other party under the terms and provisions of this Lease.

 

(b)  Tenant or any other party liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall have a permanent receiver appointed for such party’s property and such receiver is not removed within thirty (30) days after appointment of such receiver.

 

(c)  Tenant or any other party liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall have filed against it any proceedings under any present or future state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy laws or other laws of similar purpose, and such proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days.

 

(d)  Tenant or any other party liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall voluntarily commence any debtor relief proceedings under any present or future state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy laws or other laws of similar purpose.

 

(e)  Tenant or any other party liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

  

(f)  Tenant or any other party liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall have its property levied upon or attached under process that is not satisfied or dissolved within thirty (30) days after inception of such levy or attachment.

  

(g)  Tenant shall fail to perform any other covenant, agreement, provision or condition of this Lease, which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord; provided, however, if such failure by its nature cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period then no Default shall be deemed to exist as long as Tenant commences curing the failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter continuously and diligently prosecutes cure to completion.

  

(h)  The repetition of any failure to observe or perform any of the other covenants, terms or conditions hereof more than three (3) times, in the aggregate, in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months, notwithstanding the cure of such failures within any applicable notice or cure period.

 

(i)  The actions or activities of the Tenant, its invitees, or other persons on the Premises, including but not limited to prostitution, indecent exposure, illegal drug use or distribution, or other criminal activity, which may jeopardize or risk the permits and licenses related to the Premises. The parties acknowledge that a significant value of the Premises is it permits and licenses, related to the adult entertainment and liquor consumption business. Any actions or activities that jeopardize or risk the continued validity or impair those permits and licenses in any way are a default that will cause significant damage to Landlord and the value of the Premises and shall constitute a default of the Lease.

 

(j)  Tenant fails to pay Real Estate Taxes on the Premises on or before March 1 of each year during the Term and/or Option Term.

Section 9.2 REMEDIES FOR DEFAULT. In event of a Default, Landlord at its option may, without further demand or notice, at once, or any time thereafter during continuance of such Default, do one or more of the following:

 

(a)  Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. If the Lease is so terminated, the remainder of the amounts owed under the Lease shall be accelerated and Tenant shall be obligated to and shall pay Landlord all Rent that would have been payable by Tenant from the date of termination to the date when this Lease would have expired if it had not so terminated, discounted to present value at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Georgia, in effect at the time of termination, plus all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord by reason of such Default, including reasonable attorney’s fees. The Additional Rent after termination shall be an estimate computed by Landlord, taking into consideration the current estimates of such amounts and the average yearly percentage increase of such amounts over the completed portion of the Lease term. Tenant agrees to accept the estimates prepared by Landlord for the purpose of computing the amounts owed Landlord following termination of the Lease. No termination of this Lease prior to the scheduled expiration thereof shall affect Landlord’s right to collect Rent or Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred by reason of such Default, including reasonable attorney’s fees, for the period prior to the termination thereof.

 

(b)  Landlord, as Tenant’s agent, without terminating this Lease, may enter upon, retake and relet the Premises at the best price obtainable by reasonable effort, without advertisement and by private negotiations, for any term Landlord deems appropriate, and Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises and like costs. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect Rent and conduct Tenant’s business. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the deficiency, if any, between all Rent due hereunder and the rent received by Landlord as a result of such reletting or receivership (after first deducting from the rents received from such reletting or receivership the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such entry, retaking, reletting or receivership). No act by Landlord with respect to the Premises shall terminate this Lease, including but not limited to acceptance of the keys, institution of an action for detainer or other dispossessory proceedings; it being understood that this Lease may only be terminated by express written notice from Landlord to Tenant, and any reletting of the Premises shall be presumed to be for and on behalf of Tenant, and not Landlord, unless Landlord expressly provides otherwise in writing to Tenant.

 

(c)  In addition to all other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, upon Default, pay any sum of money on behalf of Tenant that Tenant has failed to pay in accordance with the terms hereof, or perform on behalf of Tenant any covenant or obligation of Tenant that Tenant has failed duly to keep, observe and perform, and all sums so paid by Landlord and all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such performance shall become Additional Rent payable hereunder, and shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

 

(d)  Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption and exemption, including homestead, granted by or under any present or future laws, including constitutions, in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the terms, covenants or obligations of this Lease, or otherwise.

(e)  No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants of this Lease shall be construed or held to be a waiver of any other breach nor waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant. Neither the rights herein given to receive, collect, sue for, or distrain for any Rent or to enforce the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease or to prevent the breach of any other right or remedy hereunder or otherwise granted or arising shall in any way affect, impair, or toll the right or power of Landlord to declare the term herein granted ended and to terminate this Lease as otherwise herein provided. No failure of Landlord to insist upon strict compliance by Tenant with the terms and provisions of this Lease, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms and provisions hereunder, shall constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights to demand strict compliance by Tenant with the terms and provisions hereof.

 

(f)  If any Rent is collected by or through an attorney at law or upon advice therefrom, or if Landlord retains an attorney at law in connection with enforcement by Landlord of any covenant or obligation of Tenant or of any right or remedy of Landlord hereunder via written action in a court of law, Tenant agrees to pay the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Landlord, including all appeals.

 

(g)  A termination of this Lease by Landlord or the recovery of possession of the Premises by Landlord or any voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing franchises or concessions, licenses, permits, subleases, sub tenancies or the like between Tenant and any third party with respect to the Premises, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant’s interest in same.

 

(h)  All demands for Rent and all other demands, notices and entries, whether provided for under statute, common law or otherwise, that are not expressly required by the terms hereof, are hereby waived by Tenant.

(i)  In order to secure payment of all Rent becoming due hereunder from Tenant, and to secure payment of any damages or loss that Landlord may suffer by reason of the breach of Tenant of any covenant, or condition contained herein, Tenant hereby grants Landlord a security interest upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures (including trade fixtures), furniture, improvements, and other personal property of Tenant presently or hereafter situated in the Premises (the “Collateral”), and all proceeds from the sale or lease thereof, and such property shall not be removed from the Premises without the consent of Landlord, except in the ordinary course of business, until Tenant has paid all arrearages in Rent hereunder and complied with all the agreements and conditions hereof. This Lease is intended as and constitutes a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of Florida, in which the Premises are located. If a Default occurs, Landlord may, in addition to all other remedies provided herein or by law, enter upon the Premises and take possession of any and all of the Collateral and sell the Collateral pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code provisions of the state in which the Premises are located. Commercially reasonable notice shall be deemed to be at least ten (10) days’ notice prior to any foreclosure sale of the Collateral. The Collateral shall be sold on the Premises or at such other location as may be selected by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord or its assigns may purchase at a public sale, and unless prohibited by law, at a private sale. The proceeds from any disposition pursuant to this subsection, less all expenses connected with the taking of possession and foreclosure, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, shall be applied as a credit against Tenant’s indebtedness to Landlord. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law. Upon the request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement in form sufficient to perfect the security interest granted herein. If Tenant refuses to do so after request from Landlord, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact for such purpose, such power being irrevocable and coupled with an interest. This lien shall be subordinate to any lien of a financial institution with a perfected first priority purchase money security interest. Any statutory lien for rent is not hereby waived, the express contractual lien herein granted being in addition and supplementary hereto.

 

(j)  Mitigation of Damages. If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages except to the extent required by applicable Law. If Landlord has not terminated this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate under any circumstances and may permit the Premises to remain vacant or abandoned. If Landlord is required by applicable Law to mitigate damages under this Lease: (a) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as Landlord generally uses to lease other space at the Property, (b) Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if Landlord leases any other portions of the Property before reletting all or any portion of the Premises, and (c) any failure to mitigate as described herein with respect to any period of time shall only reduce the Rent and other amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder by the reasonable rental value of the Premises during such period. In recognition that the value of the Property depends on the rental rates and terms of leases therein, Landlord’s rejection of a prospective replacement tenant based on an offer of rentals below Landlord’s published rates for new leases of comparable space at the Property at the time in question, or at Landlord’s option, below the rates provided in this Lease, or containing terms less favorable than those contained herein, shall not give rise to a claim by Tenant that Landlord failed to mitigate Landlord’s damages.

 

(k)  Landlord may demand that all payments made after Default be made by cash, money order, certified or cashier’s check, or other similar instrument.

 

Section 9.3 LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. (a) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Lease to the contrary, the term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means, with regard to the obligations and liabilities of Landlord hereunder, only the owner from time to time of the real property and Parcel of Land of which the Premises are a part, and upon the sale of said real property, Landlord and each successive owner shall be relieved of all liability hereunder except for liability which arose or accrued while such owner was Landlord. Landlord and, in case Landlord shall be a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, association or other form of joint ownership, the members of any such joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, association or other form of joint ownership, shall have absolutely no personal liability with respect to any provision of this Lease or any obligation or liability arising from this Lease or in connection with this Lease in the event of a breach or default by Landlord of any of its obligations. Tenant shall look solely to the equity of the owner in the Premises at the time of the breach or default (or if the interest of Landlord is a leasehold interest at that time, Tenant shall look solely to such leasehold interest) for the satisfaction of any claims of Tenant. Such exculpation of liability shall be absolute and without any exception whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of failure by Landlord to give any consent, as provided in this Lease, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance at law, but in no event shall Landlord be responsible in monetary damages for failure to give such consent. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant hereby waives, to the extent waivable under law, any right to specific performance in the event of Landlord’s default referred to herein, and Tenant expressly agrees that, Tenant’s remedy shall be limited to the monetary damages as permitted by this Section.

 

(b) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, providing such cause is not due to the willful act or neglect of Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed in default with respect to the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease if same shall be due to any strike, lockout, civil commotion, war-like operation, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power, sabotage, governmental regulations or controls, inability to obtain any material, service or financing, through Act of God or other cause beyond the control of Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any such delays and the doing or performing of any such act or thing shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for the period equal to the period of such delay.

Section 9.4 SURRENDER OF PREMISES. (a) Tenant may (if not in Default) prior to the expiration of this Lease or any extension thereof, remove all personal property, trade fixtures and equipment which Tenant has placed in the Premises, provided Tenant simultaneously repairs all damage to the Premises caused by such removal. If Tenant is in Default at the time of any termination of this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to remove any of such personal property, trade fixtures, or equipment, and Landlord shall have all rights therein as are then available to Landlord by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be permitted to remove any other alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without Landlord’s consent, including but not limited to wall coverings, floor coverings, fixtures (other than trade fixtures). Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, restore the Premises to its condition upon delivery of the Premises by Landlord to Tenant.

 

(b) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the reentry by Landlord of the Premises following Default, Tenant shall at once surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as the Premises were at the date Tenant opened the Premises to the public, reasonable wear and tear excepted, shall surrender all keys for the Premises to Landlord, and shall remove all Tenant’s effects therefrom subject to and as provided in subsection (a). Should any property of Tenant remain in or about the Premises following such expiration or termination (or upon reentry by Landlord following Default), then such property shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right, at the expense of Tenant, to dispose of said property without liability for damages or otherwise. Any proceeds from such disposition may be applied by Landlord to the expense of removal, storage or sale and to any amounts due under this Lease, with the balance to be retained by Landlord.
