4. MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT

 

4.1           

Monthly Rent. Subject to the abatement provisions Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord at such place as Landlord may designate, without prior demand therefore and without any deduction or setoff whatsoever, as fixed minimum guaranteed rent on a monthly basis (“Minimum Monthly Rent”), the sum set forth as a Fundamental Lease Term, in lawful money of the United States of America, in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the term of the Lease. Proportionate amounts of the other expenses to be paid by Tenant under Article 6 shall be paid at the same time as, and with, the Minimum Monthly Rent. Rent and other charges are due on the first of the month, and considered late on the second of the month. Upon the signing of this Lease Agreement, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the first and last month’s Minimum Monthly Rent. In the event that the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a month, then the Monthly Rent for the initial fractional month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

 

4.2           

Adjustment to Minimum Monthly Rent. The fixed Minimum Monthly Rental set forth above shall be subject to being increased in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index (referred to herein as the “Price Index” and defined in Section 31.12). The Price Index for the most recent month available immediately preceding the Commencement Date shall be designated as the “Base Price Index”. The Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased in accordance with the following provisions: As of the first day of each full Lease Year, the Minimum Monthly Rental set forth above shall be adjusted by multiplying such monthly rental by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Price Index for the most recent month available at the beginning of each such Lease Year and the denominator of which is the Base Price Index. Tenant shall then pay the resulting adjusted Minimum Monthly Rental for the entire Lease Year, but in no event shall such adjustment reduce the Minimum Monthly Rental. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the adjusted rent; provided, however, that failure to give timely notice shall in no way result in a waiver of, or otherwise preclude Landlord from collecting the full amounts of, all rental adjustments, whether retroactively or otherwise, after such notice is given.

6. ADDITIONAL RENT

 

6.1           

General. It is the intent of both parties that the Minimum Monthly Rent and Percentage Rent herein specified shall be absolutely net to Landlord throughout each Lease Year of the term of this Lease, that all costs, expenses, and obligations of every kind relating to the Premises which may arise or become due during the term hereof shall be paid by Tenant and that Landlord shall be indemnified by Tenant against such costs, expenses, and obligations. In furtherance thereof, Tenant shall pay additional rent, without demand therefor and without setoff or deduction, its Proportionate Share of expenses and charges as set forth below, plus, 10% of such expenses and charges to cover administrative and overhead costs. All taxes, charges, costs, and expenses which Tenant is required to pay hereunder, together with interest and penalties that may accrue thereon in the event of Tenant’s failure to pay such amounts, and all damages, costs, and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant’s part to comply with the terms of this Lease, shall be deemed to be additional rent and, in the event of nonpayment by Tenant, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies with respect thereto as Landlord has for the nonpayment of the Minimum Monthly Rent. The “Proportionate Share” of Tenant shall be obtained by multiplying the expense in question by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the square-foot area of the Premises and the denominator of which shall be the square-foot area of all space leased in the Shopping Center.

 

 
-5-

 

Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the expenses and charges set forth below shall be computed on the basis of periods of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months as designated by Landlord and estimated payments toward the same shall be made by Tenant in equal installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month in an amount to be established by Landlord with Tenant’s payment of Minimum Monthly Rent. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each twelve (12) month period Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing the Shopping Center’s actual expenses and charges for the preceding period and any adjustments to be made as a result thereof. In the case of deficiency, Tenant shall within ten (10) days remit the amount of such deficiency to Landlord. In the case of a surplus, Landlord shall apply Tenant’s share of such surplus to payments next falling due from Tenant under this Article.

 

6.2           

Taxes.

 

(a) Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of all taxes, assessments, levies, and charges, whether special, extraordinary, or otherwise, whether foreseen or unforeseen, which may be levied, assessed, or imposed upon, on account of or with respect to: (i) the ownership of, and/or all other taxable interests in, all land situated in the Shopping Center; (ii) all buildings, structures, and other improvements situated thereon; (iii) rents or rental income, whether such tax be levied on the Landlord or the Tenant.

 

(b) The amount of real estate taxes upon which such payment is based shall be the amount reflected in the most current notice(s) of assessment or tax bill(s) concerning the entire Shopping Center or, if there are none, such amount as Landlord may reasonably estimate. Tenant at all times shall be responsible for and shall pay, before delinquency, all municipal, county, state, or federal taxes assessed against any leasehold interest or any personal property of any kind owned, installed or used by Tenant. Should the taxing authorities include in such real estate taxes the value of any improvements made by Tenant, or include machinery, equipment, fixtures, inventory, or other personal property of Tenant, then Tenant shall also pay the entire real estate taxes for such items. A tax bill submitted by Landlord to Tenant shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of taxes assessed or levied, as well as items taxed.

Until any such repair is complete the Minimum Rent shall be abated proportionately as to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: (i) the Premises by reason of such occurrence are rendered wholly untenantable, or (ii) the Premises should be damaged as a result of a risk which is not covered by Landlord’s insurance, or (iii) that Premises should be damaged in whole or in part during the last three (3) years of the term or of any renewal hereof, or (iv) the Premises or the building of which it is a part, whether the Premises are damaged or not, or all of the buildings which then comprise the Shopping Center, should be damaged to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then replacement cost of the improvements, or (v) any or all of the buildings or common areas of the Shopping Center are damaged, whether or not the Premises are damaged, to such an extent that the Shopping Center cannot, in the sole judgment of Landlord, be operated as an integral unit, or (vi) by reason of the right of any lender to retain or control the use of any insurance proceeds and the retention of proceeds or the exercise of control makes the repair of the Premises impracticable in the sole judgment of Landlord, then and in any of such events, Landlord may either elect to repair the damage or may cancel this Lease by notice of cancellation within one hundred eighty (180) days after such event and thereupon this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord. Tenant’s liability for rent upon the termination of this Lease shall cease as of the day following Landlord’s giving notice of cancellation and Tenant shall have no further right or interest in the Premises. In the event Landlord elects to repair any damage, any abatement of Minimum Rent shall end five (5) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant that the Premises have been repaired. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to abate or affect Percentage Rent, provided that if Minimum Monthly Rent is abated pursuant to this Article, then “Minimum Monthly Rent” used to calculate the amount of Percentage Rent shall be the Minimum Monthly Rent as abated. If the damage is caused by the negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, or concessionaires, there shall be no abatement of Minimum Monthly Rent. Landlord’s obligation to repair under this Article if undertaken, shall extend only to the construction of the basic building and store front and not to the repair or replacement of Tenant improvements. If such repair is undertaken by Landlord, Tenant shall be obligated to repair and re-fixture the interior of the Premises in a manner and in at least a condition equal to that existing prior to the destruction or casualty and the proceeds of all insurance carried by Tenant on its property and fixtures shall be held in trust by Tenant for the benefit of Landlord to assure fulfillment of Tenant’s repair and replacement obligations.

 

19.        CONDEMNATION

 

19.1         

Definition. As used in this Article the term “condemnation proceeding” means any action or proceeding in which any interest in the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful authority through exercise of the power of eminent domain or right of condemnation of by purchase or otherwise in lieu thereof.

 

 
-15-

 

19.2          

Total Condemnation. If the whole of the Premises shall be acquired or taken by condemnation proceeding, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding.

 

19.3           

Partial Condemnation. If more than 25% of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease and, upon exercise of the right by either party giving notice to the other within thirty (30) days after title is vested in the condemning authority, then this Lease shall cease and terminate. In the event of a taking of 25% or less of the Premises or the partial taking of more than 25% of the Premises without either party exercising its right to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall continue in effect except that the Minimum Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the gross square footage of the Premises (including basement, if any) taken bears to the original gross square footage of the Premises, and Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award in condemnation, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the building in which Premises are located so as to make the portion of the building not taken a complete architectural unit, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work to be done by Landlord in originally constructing said building, nor shall Landlord in any event be required to expend for such work an amount in excess of the “Amount Received by Landlord” as damages for the part of the Premises so taken. “Amount Received by Landlord” shall mean that part of the award in condemnation which is paid to Landlord free and clear of any rights of mortgage lenders to collect or retain the proceeds.

 

19.4           

Landlord’s Rights to Terminate. In addition to the rights to terminate the Lease provided below, Landlord shall have the following rights to terminate the Lease in the event of condemnation. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross square footage of leasable space in the building in which the Premises are located or the Common Area of the Shopping Center shall be taken by condemnation, Landlord may terminate this Lease, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the vesting of title in the condemning authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, Landlord shall also have a right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice as provided above in the event of a taking of 25% or less of the Premises if the Amount Received by Landlord will not be adequate to pay the necessary repairs and alterations. If this Lease is terminated as provided in this section, rent shall be paid up to the day that written notice is given by Landlord and Landlord shall make an equitable refund of any rent paid by Tenant in advance.

 

19.5          

Award. Tenant shall not be entitled to, and hereby expressly waives all claim to, any condemnation award for any taking, whether whole or partial and whether for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee estate, and all such awards shall belong to Landlord. Tenant, however, shall have the right, to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord’s award, to claim from the condemning authority, but not from the Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for damages relating only to Tenant’s business and fixtures. Tenant shall be required to make its own claim, if any, to the condemning authority, and will bear all costs and expenses in connection with any such claims.

20.        EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

 

20.1           

DEFAULT BY TENANT. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the remedies set forth below.

 

(a) Tenants fails to pay Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent or any item of additional rent or any other sum due under this Lease within ten (10) days after the same shall be due.

 

(b) Tenants fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default shall have been given to Tenant by Landlord.

 

(c) Tenant or its agent shall falsify any report required to be furnished to Landlord hereunder.

 

(d) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall become bankrupt or insolvent or file any debtor proceedings or have taken against such party in any court pursuant to state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, reorganization, or appointment of a receiver or trustee; or Tenant petitions for or enters into an arrangement; or suffers this Lease to be taken under writ of execution.

 

(e) Tenant violates either Articles 8 or Article 15.

 

20.2          

Remedies. Upon the occurrence of one or more events of default, in addition to any and all rights and remedies available to the Landlord under applicable law, Landlord shall have the option to take any or all of the following actions, without further notice or demand of any kind to Tenant or any other person:

 

(a) Immediately reenter and remove all persons or properly from the Premises, storing said property in a public place, warehouse, or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of or liable in trespass. No such reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given by Landlord to Tenant. No such action by Landlord shall be considered or construed to be a forcible entry.

 

(b) Collect by suit or otherwise any unpaid rents or other sum as it becomes due hereunder, or enforce, by suit or otherwise, any other term or provision hereof on the part of Tenant required to be kept or performed.

 

 
-17-

 

(c) Claim and exercise a Landlord’s lien over any or all of Tenant’s fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements, additions, alterations, and other personal property. All such property may, at Landlord’s option, remain on the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to take the exclusive possession of the property and to use the property, rent or charge free, or to sell the property and apply the net proceeds of such a sale against the amounts due Landlord from Tenant. At its option, at any time during the length of the default, Landlord may require Tenant to forthwith remove that property or may remove the same at the expense of Tenant.

 

(d) Terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. In the event of such termination, Tenant agrees to immediately surrender possession of the Premises. Should Landlord terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have no further interest in this Lease or in the Tenant’s breach, including (i) cost of recovering the Premises, (ii) reasonable attorneys’ fees, (iii) the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then-resonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable at Landlord’s election from Tenant to Landlord. In determining the rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder subsequent to default, the rent for each year of the unexpired term shall be equal to the average Minimum Monthly Rent, Percentage Rent and additional rents paid by Tenant from the commencement Date to the time of default, or during the preceding three (3) full calendar years, whichever period is shorter.

 

(e) Should Landlord reenter, as provided above, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, and whether or not it terminates this Lease, it may be necessary to relet the Premises, and relet the same or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such reletting all rentals and/or deposits received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, at Landlord’s election, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorney’s fees and costs of any alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that to be paid during such month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such reentry and reletting of the Premises by landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant pursuant to subsection (d), or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

 

 
-18-

 

The remedies given to Landlord in this Article shall be in addition to and supplemental to all other rights or remedies which Landlord may have under law or equity.

 

21.       ACCESS TO PREMISES

 

Landlord shall have the right to place, maintain, and repair all utility equipment of any kind in, upon, and under the Premises as may be necessary for the servicing of the Premises and other portions of the Shopping Center. Landlord shall also have the right to enter the Premises at all times to inspect or to exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, and lessees, and to make such repairs, additions, alterations, or improvements as Landlord may deem desirable. Landlord shall be allowed to take all material upon said Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and the rents reserved herein shall in no way abate while said work is in progress by reason of loss or interruption of Tenant’s business or otherwise, and Tenant shall have no claim for damages. During the six (6) months prior to the expiration of this Lease or of any renewal term, Landlord may place upon the Premises “To Let” or “For Sale” signs which Tenant shall permit to remain thereon.

 

22.       FINANCING

 

22.1            

Subordination. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate to any mortgages or trust deeds that may hereafter be placed upon the Premises, to any and all advances made or to be made under them, to the interest and all obligations secured by them, and to all renewals, replacements and extensions of them. Provided, however, the mortgagee or beneficiary named in any such mortgages or trust deeds shall recognize the lease of the Tenant in the event of foreclosure if the Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease. If any mortgagee or beneficiary elects to have this Lease superior in its mortgage or deed of trust and gives notice of its election to Tenant, then this Lease shall be superior to the lien of any mortgage or trust deed whether this Lease is dated or recorded before or after the mortgage or trust deed.

 

22.2            

Amendment. Tenant agrees that from time to time it shall, if so requested by Landlord and if doing so will not substantially and adversely affect Tenant’s economic interests under this Lease, join with Landlord in amending the terms of this Lease so as to meet the reasonable needs or requirements of any lender which is considering furnishing or which has furnished any of the financing referred to in the above Subsection.

 

23.       ATTORNMENT

 

In the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord’s interest in the building of which the Premises are a part, or in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage or other security instrument made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the Assignee or purchaser and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.

 

 
-19-

 

24. RIGHT TO CURE

 

In the event of breach, default, or noncompliance hereunder by Landlord, Tenant shall, before exercising any right or remedy available to it (including, without limitation, assertion of any right or claim of setoff or recoupment), give Landlord written notice of the claimed breach, default, or noncompliance. If prior to its giving such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of a lender which has furnished any of the financing referred to in Section 22.1 hereof, concurrently with giving the aforesaid notice to Landlord, Tenant shall, be registered mail, transmit a copy thereof to such lender. For the thirty (30) days following the giving of the notice(s) required by the foregoing portion of this Article (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required to cure a matter which, due to its nature, cannot reasonably be rectified within thirty (30) days), Landlord shall have the right to cure the breach, default, or noncompliance involved. If Landlord has failed to cure a default within said period, any such lender shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure the same or, if such default cannot be cured with that period, such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) day period said lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the actions or remedies necessary to cure the breach, default, or noncompliance involved (including, but not limited to, commencement and prosecution of proceedings to foreclose or otherwise exercise its rights under its mortgage or other security instrument, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant so long as such actions or remedies are being diligently pursued by said lender.

 

25. SURRENDER OF PREMISES

 

At the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as they were in upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall deliver all keys to Landlord. Before surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall remove all of its Personal Property and trade fixtures and such alterations or additions to the Premises made by Tenant as may be specified for removal by Landlord, and shall repair any damage caused by such property or the removal thereof. If Tenant fails to remove its personal property and fixtures upon the expiration of this Lease, the same shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord.

 

26. HOLDING OVER

 

Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof or of any renewal term shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at the rents herein specified (prorated on a monthly basis) and shall otherwise be on the terms herein specified so far as possible.

 

 

-20-

 

27. ATTORNEYS’ FEES

 

In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease either Landlord or the Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party of the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by the successful party. In the event of default hereunder by Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay any and all costs of Landlord, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in enforcing this Lease or Landlord’s rights and remedies hereunder, whether or not a lawsuit is commenced.

 

28. PAST DUE SUMS; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

 

If Tenant fails to pay, when the same is due and payable, any rent, additional rent, or other sum required to be paid by it hereunder, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at a Variable Rate which shall be the greater of (i) twenty-one percent (21%) per annum or (ii) four percent (4%) over the “prime rate” as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time (or, if not so published, the “prime rate” of First Security Bank of Utah, N.A.), as that prime lending rate is established and changed from time to time, which changes in the prime lending rate shall be reflected in the Variable Rate on and for the day of each change. In addition, Landlord may charge as a service fee for processing overdue amounts a sum equal to the greater of $50.00 or four percent (4%) of the overdue sum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord’s right to collect such interest and service fee shall be limited to the maximum amount which may properly be charged by Landlord for such purposes under any applicable law.

 

Payments received from the Tenant shall be applied in the order and to the items determined by Landlord, in its sole discretion, notwithstanding any designation by the Tenant or other payor.

 

29. QUIET ENJOYMENT

 

Tenant, upon paying the rents and observing and performing all of the terms, covenants, and conditions on its part to be performed hereunder, shall peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises for the Lease Term. In the event Tenant claims or asserts that its quiet enjoyment of the Premises is disturbed by the actions or inactions of another tenant, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord of each such claim within forty-eight (48) hours of the event, specifying the particular actions or inactions of which Tenant complains. In the absence of such written notice, Tenant may not assert a breach of this covenant. Upon receipt of such notice, the Landlord shall investigate the matter complained of by Tenant, and shall report to Tenant its findings and, if deemed appropriate by Landlord, its corrective actions. Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to enforce compliance by other tenants with the rules and regulations of the Shopping Center and the respective leases of other tenants, insofar as the interests of Tenant are affected; provided, however, no breach of this Article may be asserted by Tenant based upon the actions or inactions of another tenant of the Shopping Center unless Landlord reasonably determines that such other tenant’s actions or inactions constitute a default that entitles Landlord to terminate such other tenant’s lease.

 

 

-21-

 

30. MERCHANT’S ASSOCIATION

 

Tenant shall join and at all times during the Lease Term maintain membership in the Merchants’ Association (the “Association”), which consists of Landlord and substantially all merchandising tenants of the Shopping Center. The purpose of the Association shall be the general furtherance of the business interests of the Shopping Center as a whole, including advertising, promotion and special events to benefit the Shopping Center and the business of all tenants located therein. The Association shall make its own rules and regulations with respect to such matters. As part of its financial obligations under this Lease, Tenant agrees to contribute to the Association the sum of $80.00 per month, which sum shall be paid by separate check to the Sandy Mall Merchants’ Association at the address of the on-site mall office (9455 So. 700 East, Sandy, UT 84070).

 

Tenant’s monthly Association charge shall be increased at the end of each calendar year as determined by the Board of Directors of the Association by at least $5.00 per month, but not more than $20.00 per month, to be capped at a total monthly increase of $70.00 every 5-year period.

 

In lieu and instead of the Merchants’ Association, the Landlord shall have the right and option to convert the Association into a marketing fund. In case of such conversion, (a) Landlord agrees to establish a Tenant Advisory Board to obtain Lessee participation and consultation on expenditure of funds, and (b) Tenant agrees to pay to the marketing fund a monthly amount equal to Tenant’s Merchants’ Association charge as described or amended above.

 

31. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

31.1         

No partnership. Neither the provisions herein set forth for the computation of the Percentage Rent, nor any one or more agreements herein contained, is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Landlord and Tenant, to make them joint venturers, nor to make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts or losses of the Tenant.

 

31.2         

Force Majeure. Landlord shall be excused for the period of any delay in the performance of any obligation hereunder when prevented form so doing by cause or causes beyond Landlord’s control, including labor disputes, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain any material or services, or acts of God. Tenant and Landlord agree that, in the event Landlord and/or Tenant are precluded by court order from permitting Tenant to use the premises as a bank, (unless such order is dissolved within sixty days of the date of entry), then this Lease shall automatically terminate and neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder, except as set forth in the following sentence. In the event the Lease so terminates, then Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for a portion of Tenant’s leasehold improvements to the Premises, calculated as follows: Tenant’s lese hold expenses, not to exceed a maximum of $25,000, shall be amortized monthly on a straight line basis over sixty months, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant one-half of the unamortized amount of such leasehold expenses as of the date of termination.

 

 

-22-

 

31.3        

No Waiver. Failure of Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord.

 

31.4         

Notices. Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be delivered in person or sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed to Landlord and to Tenant at the respective addresses as set forth as Fundamental Lease Terms. Either party may designate such other address as shall be given by written notice.

 

31.5

31.6        

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

 

31.7         

Broker’s Commissions. Tenant represents and warrants that there are no claims for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees in connection with this Lease and agrees to liabilities arising from such claim, including any attorneys’ fees connected therewith.

In the event of any sale or assignment (except for purposes of security or collateral) by Landlord of the Shopping Center, the Premises, or this Lease, Landlord shall be entirely relieved of all of its obligations as of the time of such sale or assignment.



 

31.10       

 Entire Agreement Etc. This Lease and the Exhibits, Riders, and/or Addenda, if any, attached hereto, set forth the entire agreement between the parties.

It is agreed that this Lease contains no restrictive covenants or exclusive use permits in favor of Tenant. The captions and section numbers appearing herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and are not intended to define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of any Article, Section or paragraph.


 


31.11       

 Recourse by Tenant. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the land and building comprising the Shopping Center, and subject to prior rights of any mortgagee or beneficiary of any trust deed of the Shopping Center or any part thereof, for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be observed and/or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution, or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.
