PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

 

THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 19th day of April, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), between FLORIDA PNEUMATIC MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (the “Seller”), and JUPITER WAREHOUSE HOLDINGS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).

 

1.             Purchase and Sale. (a) In consideration of their mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, for the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the following:

 

(i)            All of the land (the “Land”) situated in Palm Beach County, Florida, with an address of 851 Jupiter Park Lane, Jupiter, Florida 33458, as more particularly described on Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 

(ii)           All structures, buildings, improvements, and fixtures, including, without limitation, all equipment and appliances used in connection with the operation or occupancy thereof, such as heating and air-conditioning systems and facilities used to provide any utility services, parking services, ventilation, or other services owned by Seller and located on the Land (the “Improvements”).

 

(iii)          Any written service contracts in effect at Closing (as hereinafter defined) in any way relating to the Premises (as hereinafter defined), (all such service contracts being sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Contracts”), to the extent such Contracts are assignable and are assumed by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(iv)          Any and all plans and specifications, if any, in the possession of Seller which were prepared in connection with the construction of any of the Improvements, all hereditaments, privileges, tenements and appurtenances belonging to the Land, all right, title, and interest of Seller in and to all open or proposed highways, streets, roads, avenues, alleys, easements, strips, gores and rights-of-way in, on, across, in front of, contiguous to, abutting, or adjoining the Land, and all licenses, permits, and warranties now in effect with respect to the Premises, to the extent transferable (collectively, the “Intangible Property”).. In no event shall Intangible Property be deemed to include any trademarks, trade names or other intellectual property of Seller and its affiliates.

 

The Land and Improvements are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Premises,” and the Premises, Contracts, and Intangible Property are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Property.”

 

(b)           This sale does NOT include any personal property owned by Seller, whether or not located on or at the Premises, including, without limitation, any trade fixtures or manufacturing equipment.

 

   

 

 

(c)           Seller shall convey and Purchaser shall accept fee simple title to the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject only to: (a) the matters set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, "Permitted Exceptions"); (b) any matters which, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, and (c) such other matters as any nationally recognized title insurance company selected by Purchaser (the “Title Company”) shall be willing, without special premium, to omit as exceptions to coverage or to except with insurance against collection out of or enforcement against the Premises.

 

2.             Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS ($9,500,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

 

(a)           ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”) shall be paid by Purchaser to Kochman & Ziska, PLC, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) within three (3) business days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and Seller.

 

(b)           If Purchaser has not cancelled this Agreement pursuant to Section 4 hereof, Purchaser shall pay to Escrow Agent on or before one (1) business day after the expiration of the Inspection Period, as hereinafter defined, an additional deposit in the amount of EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS ($850,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit”). All sums held by Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Earnest Money.” The Earnest Money shall be held in escrow and applied against the purchase price of the Property as provided for in this Agreement. The Earnest Money shall be maintained by Escrow Agent in an non-interest bearing account at First Republic Bank. The Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Earnest Money as provided in this Agreement. Upon receipt of any written certification from Seller or Purchaser claiming the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall promptly forward a copy thereof to the other party hereto and, unless such party within seven (7) days after delivery thereof objects, by written notice to the Escrow Agent, to such disbursement, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Earnest Money to the party demanding the same and shall thereupon be released and discharged from any duty or obligation hereunder. The Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Earnest Money and if there is any dispute as to whether the Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Earnest Money or as to whom the Earnest Money is to be delivered, the Escrow Agent may refuse to make delivery and may continue to hold the Earnest Money until receipt by the Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by the Seller and Purchaser, directing the disposition of the Earnest Money; in the absence of any such written authorization, the Escrow Agent may hold the Earnest Money until a final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding or may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Earnest Money in a court of competent jurisdiction pending such determination. Seller and Purchaser recognize that the Escrow Agent's duties hereunder are only as specifically provided herein and are purely ministerial in nature; and Seller and Purchaser therefore agree that the Escrow Agent shall, so long as it acts in good faith, have no liability to either party except for its willful misconduct or gross negligence. Seller and Purchaser do hereby indemnify the Escrow Agent against, and agree to hold, save, and defend the Escrow Agent harmless from, any costs, liabilities, and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in discharging its duties hereunder. If the Escrow Agent is a law firm representing Seller or

 

 - 2 - 

 

 

Purchaser, the parties agree that such law firm may continue to represent Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, in any dispute, controversy, litigation, and the like pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)           The balance of the Purchase Price in the amount of EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS ($8,550,000.00) shall be due and payable at Closing by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Seller.

 

3.             Closing.

 

(a)           The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property (the “Closing”) shall occur by overnight courier service pursuant to a mutually agreeable escrow arrangement, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period, as hereinafter defined (the “Closing Date”), unless such date is extended by written agreement signed by both of the parties.

 

(b)           The Purchase Price shall be paid and all documents necessary for the consummation of this transaction shall be executed and delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to Purchaser on the date of Closing subject to the continued possession of Seller pursuant to the “Seller Lease” as defined in Paragraph 25 hereof.

(iv)         A certificate sworn by an officer of Seller to the effect that Seller is not a “foreign person” or a “disregarded entity” as defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, which certificate shall be in such form as may be prescribed by federal regulations.

4.            Inspection Period.

 

(a)           In addition to all other conditions to the completion of the transaction described in this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser agree that the Closing of this sale and purchase is subject to satisfaction, approval, or waiver by Purchaser of the following condition within forty-five (45) days following the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”):

 

Inspection and approval of the Property, including without limitation, the availability for access, utility services, zoning, environmental risks, engineering and soil conditions.

 

(b)           For the purpose of conducting physical inspections, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser and its authorized agents, accompanied by a representative of Seller, reasonable access to the Property at all reasonable times on business days during the Inspection Period upon at least one (1) business days' prior written notice to Seller, and Purchaser shall conduct such inspections in a manner not disruptive to the operation of the Property. After each such entry, Purchaser shall promptly repair any damage caused by Purchaser or its agents and shall restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such entry, and Purchaser's agreement to repair and restore shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and to hold Seller, Seller's agents and employees, and the Property harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, or liabilities including, but not limited to, construction liens and attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with Purchaser's access to or entry upon the Property under this Section 4. Purchaser's indemnity and hold harmless pursuant to this Section 4 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement by Closing or otherwise. In connection with Purchaser's inspections, Seller shall provide Purchaser with access to Seller's documents in Seller's or Seller's agents' possession relating to the ownership and operations of the Property (other than internal ownership documents not related to the operations of the Property). Seller's documents shall be made available to Purchaser at the Premises or at the offices of Seller's property manager for the Property, if any (“Property Manager”) at reasonable times for inspection and copying by Purchaser at Purchaser's expense. The information supplied to or made available to Purchaser by Seller as provided in this Section 4 shall not be released or disclosed to any other parties without the prior written consent of Seller unless and until this

 

 - 4 - 

 

 

transaction has closed; however, as may be necessary to consummate this transaction, Purchaser may disclose such information to Purchaser's attorneys, accountants, and other professionals retained by Purchaser, and to Purchaser's lender, provided that Purchaser notifies in writing its attorneys, accountants, other professionals, and lender (with a copy of each such notification sent to Seller by Purchaser) that any and all such information is the confidential property of Seller and shall remain as such. If this transaction is not closed for any reason, then Purchaser shall refrain, and shall cause its agents, representatives, and accountants to refrain, from disclosing all such information to any other party. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller (which indemnification shall survive the closing of this transaction or the termination or expiration of this Agreement, whichever shall occur) from and against all loss, damage, or expense sustained or incurred by Seller by reason of any unauthorized disclosure of such information.

 

(c)           Before entering the Premises, Purchaser’s contractors, agents and consultants shall obtain and maintain in effect until Closing a commercial general liability insurance policy, issued by an insurer with a Best's “A-” rating, which provides coverage of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, combined single-limit bodily injury and property damage. Such insurance policy shall insure Purchaser against any and all demands, claims, suits, causes of action, whether at law or in equity, and/or liability to anyone for any injuries to their person and/or property arising out of, resulting from, or incident to the negligent acts or omissions of Purchaser. The insurance policy shall provide coverage for, without limitation, personal injury, contractual liability, products and completed operations liability, property damage, and automobile liability. Seller, Seller’s stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, and Seller’s mortgagee shall be named as additional insured parties under Purchaser's insurance policy. The insurance policy shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days' advance written notice to Seller of a cancellation or termination of the policy, of a reduction of policy limits, or of any other material change in the policy. Before entering the Premises, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance confirming the existence or issuance of Purchaser's insurance policy.

 

(d)           If the condition set forth in this Section 4 is not satisfied or waived by Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, within the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller and the Escrow Agent in writing of the termination of this Agreement (“Purchaser's Termination Notice”) prior to the end of the final day of the Inspection Period. Upon receipt of Purchaser's Termination Notice, the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent, both Seller and Purchaser shall be released and discharged from all further obligations under this Agreement, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be subject to any claim by the other for damages of any kind except for the indemnity and hold harmless agreements as provided in this Section 4 and in other indemnity provisions of this Agreement, if any. If Purchaser so terminates this Agreement, then, within five (5) business days after the date of Purchaser's Termination Notice, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of (i) any due diligence materials provided to Purchaser by Seller in connection with this transaction, and (ii) any other due diligence materials (tests, inspections, survey, title commitment, etc.) obtained by Purchaser in connection with this transaction. If no Purchaser's Termination Notice has been served upon Seller and Escrow Agent within the time provided in this Section 4, time being of the essence, all conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied or waived and Purchaser's obligations to close shall be firm.

 

 - 5 - 

 

 

(e)           In addition, during the Inspection Period, Purchaser may, at its expense as part of its inspections, cause to be performed a Phase I environmental audit of the Premises by a reputable environmental auditor reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Such audit shall be certified to Seller and Purchaser, and shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon Purchaser's receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Phase II testing shall not be performed without Seller's prior written consent.

 

5.             Evidence of Title and Survey.

 

(i)            Title Commitment. Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Seller, at its expense, shall obtain a title commitment for the issuance of an ALTA Form B owner's policy of title insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price (the “Commitment”), issued by the Title Company. Purchaser, within ten (10) days following the date on which Purchaser received the Commitment (the “Title Review Period”), shall deliver to Seller written notice of Purchaser's bona fide objections if any, to the Commitment (the “Title Objections”). In no event shall any Permitted Exception constitute a Title Objection. If Purchaser fails to deliver such written notice or objection to Seller within the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to the Commitment, and all exceptions therein shall thereafter be deemed “Permitted Exceptions.” If Purchaser shall deliver such Title Objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser within five (5) business days following the date of Purchaser's notice of such Title Objections that either (i) the Title Objections have been, or will be at or prior to Closing, cured and removed from the Commitment, and in such event, if reasonably required to allow the parties to prepare for Closing, the Closing Date shall be deferred to a date mutually agreed upon by the parties or (ii) Seller has failed to arrange to have the Title Objections cured and removed. If Seller does not notify Purchaser that it has arranged to have the Title Objections cured and removed within said five (5) business day period, Purchaser may elect either (A) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser as Purchaser's sole remedy hereunder; or (B) to take title as it then is, which election must be made within five (5) days following expiration of said five (5) business day period.

 

If Purchaser does not elect to so terminate this Agreement, then: (1) Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to accept title as it then is without any reduction in the Purchase Price; (2) all Title Objections not removed from the Commitment will thenceforth be deemed Permitted Exceptions; (3) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and (4) if reasonably required to allow the parties to prepare for Closing, the Closing Date shall be deferred to a date mutually agreed upon by the parties.

 

Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Seller shall have no affirmative obligation hereunder to expend any funds or incur any liabilities in order to cause any title exceptions to be removed from the Commitment or insured over except that Seller shall pay or discharge any lien or encumbrance arising after the date hereof and voluntarily created or assumed by Seller and not created by or resulting from the acts of Purchaser or other parties not related to Seller. On the Closing Date, the Title Company, at Seller's expense, shall issue an owner's title insurance policy insuring fee simple title in Purchaser as of the Closing Date, in accordance with the Commitment.

 

 - 6 - 

 

 

Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has provided Purchaser with a copy of the Mortgagee Policy of Title Insurance No. FA-36-775175 issued by First American Title Insurance Company, including all endorsements thereto (“Seller's Title Evidence”). The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any matters shown in the Seller's Title Evidence (other than the mortgage insured therein, which shall be released at or prior to Closing) are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions as if set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto, and Purchaser shall have the right to make Title Objections solely in connection with those matters shown in Purchaser's Commitment that are not shown in Seller's Title Evidence or Schedule A.

 

(ii)           Survey. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, Seller has provided Purchaser with a copy of Seller's existing survey of the Premises prepared by Bloomster Professional Land Surveyors, Inc. and dated October 8, 2010 (“Seller's Existing Survey”). Purchaser may, at its expense, obtain an as-built survey of the Premises (either a new survey or an update to Seller's Existing Survey), made and certified to Purchaser, Seller, and Title Company, and prepared and certified to have been made in accordance with the most recent ALTA/ACSM standards (the “Survey”). If the Survey shows any material encroachments over a building, set-back or property line, a prohibited encroachment of a material nature over any easement, or any other matter which does or could in the future materially interfere with the use, operation, or financing of the Premises or which render title thereto unmarketable and which are not Permitted Exceptions (collectively, “Survey Defects”), Purchaser, prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, may deliver to Seller written notice of those Survey Defects to which it objects, or Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any right to such objection. Survey Defects shall be treated in the same manner as Title Objections as described above.

 

The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any matters shown in Seller's Existing Survey are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, and Purchaser shall have the right to make Title Objections solely in connection with matters shown in Purchaser's Survey and not shown in Seller's Existing Survey.

 

6.            Seller’s Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6 are true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date except as modified in accordance with this Section. If Seller learns that any of the following representations and warranties ceases to be true in any material respect, Seller shall give prompt notice to Purchaser (which notice shall include copies of the instrument, correspondence, or document in Seller's possession, if any, upon which Seller's notice is based). If Seller shall give such a notice, Purchaser shall have five (5) business days after the giving of such notice to (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser and the parties shall be relieved from all further obligations hereunder, except as specifically set forth herein or (ii) waive such matter and proceed to Closing without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof. If Purchaser does not timely give such notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive such matter. If Purchaser shall waive or be deemed to have waived such matter, then the affected representation or warranty shall be deemed modified to reflect such matter. To the extent Purchaser has knowledge or is deemed to know prior to the date hereof that any of these representations and warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Purchaser's knowledge or

 

 - 7 - 

 

 

deemed knowledge. Purchaser shall be deemed to know a representation or warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if this Agreement or any files, documents, materials, analyses, studies, tests or reports provided, disclosed or made available to Purchaser prior to the date hereof contains information which is inconsistent with such representation or warranty. If Purchaser acquires knowledge of any inaccuracy, untruth or incorrectness of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall notify Seller the sooner of the Closing or within five (5) days of the acquisition of such knowledge. If Purchaser does not timely give such notice, the affected representation or warranty shall be deemed modified to reflect such matter.

 

As used in this Agreement, the phrase “to the actual knowledge of Seller” (or similar words) shall mean the actual knowledge of Joseph A. Molino, Jr. There shall be no duty imposed or implied to investigate, inspect or audit any such matters, and there shall be no personal liability on the part of such individuals.

(a)           To the actual knowledge of Seller, there are no leases or other agreements for occupancy in effect with respect to the Premises and none shall be in effect at Closing other than the Seller Lease.

(d)           To the actual knowledge of Seller, there are no Contracts, other than as listed on Exhibit “F”, attached hereto and made a part hereof. This representation does not derogate from Seller's rights to enter into new Contracts, subject to Section 8.

 

(e)           Seller is a corporation, organized under the laws of the State of Florida. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Seller have been duly authorized and no consent of any other person, court, or other entity to such execution, delivery, and performance is required to render this Agreement a valid and binding instrument enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except for any consents which have been obtained by Seller prior to its execution hereof. Neither the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will: (i) result in a breach of, or cause a default or acceleration under, any agreement or mortgage to which Seller is a party (unless such agreement or mortgage is being terminated, released or satisfied at Closing) or by which Seller or the Property is bound, or (ii) violate any orders or restrictions to which Seller or the Property is subject.

 

(f)            No bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, arrangement, or moratorium proceeding or allegation of fraudulent conveyance is now pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened against Seller.

To the extent such Taxes are due and payable after Closing, Purchaser shall pay all such taxes when they become due and payable and, promptly thereafter, the parties shall re-prorate taxes with, if any amount is due, an appropriate payment from one party to the other on the basis of the amount of taxes then due and payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of damage to the Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which would cost less than the Earnest Money (as determined by Seller in good faith) Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by reason thereof, but Seller shall have the right to elect to either repair and restore the Property before Closing or to assign and transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title, and interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of such fire or casualty and credit the Purchase Price for the amount of all applicable deductibles. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any such fire or other casualty and Seller's determination of the cost to repair the damage caused thereby.

Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing of the commencement or occurrence of any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. If such proceedings would result in the taking of any of the Premises or the taking or closing of any right of access to the Premises, Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within ten (10) days of Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice, whether

 

 - 13 - 

 

 

Purchaser elects to exercise its rights under subparagraph (a) or subparagraph (b) of this Section. Closing shall be delayed, if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election.

Seller shall have no right to seek specific performance of this Agreement or to seek damages from Purchaser (other than the liquidated damages referred to above) as a result of any default by Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

(ii)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any other document delivered by Seller in connection with the Closing: (i)  If Seller shall default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or in any other document delivered by Seller in connection with the Closing (including, without limitation, any breach of any warranty, representation, covenant, or indemnity contained herein or therein), Purchaser shall be entitled to elect, as its sole remedy, to either (a) terminate the Agreement and receive the return of the Earnest Money, or (b) bring an action for specific performance, plus legal fees, without damages. If Purchaser elects to bring an action for specific performance, such action must be commenced within 180 days from the date of any alleged default of Seller, after written notice thereof by Purchaser as provided elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

(iii)          In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any general, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages or any damages resulting or arising from a loss of the benefit of the herein bargain.

 

(iv)         In connection with any litigation (including, but not limited to, any appellate proceedings) arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred by such party, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs.

BEFORE the undersigned authority, duly qualified to take acknowledgments and administer oaths within the applicable state, personally appeared [__________________________________] (the ”Affiant”), as ____________________________ of FLORIDA PNEUMATIC MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (the ”Seller”), on behalf of the Seller, who after being duly sworn, depose and say for this affidavit dated as of the ______ day of ______________, 201___ (the ”Affidavit”):

 

1.            The Seller is the owner of that certain real property situated in Palm Beach County, as more particularly described on Exhibit ”A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”).

 

2.            To the best of Affiant's actual knowledge, the Property is free and clear of all liens, taxes, encumbrances, and claims of every kind, nature, and description whatsoever, except for those matters described in ______________________ (the “Title Company”) Title Commitment No. ______________________, with an effective date of __________________, 201___ at ______ __.m.

3.            To the best of Affiant's knowledge, any and all labor, materials, and supplies which have been furnished, used, or applied upon the Property within the past ninety (90) days have been fully paid for and discharged or provisions have been made therefor. There are no construction, material supplier's, or laborer's liens against the Property, or any part thereof, and no contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or material supplier, engineer, architect, landscape architect, or land surveyor has any lien or right to a lien against the Property, or any part thereof.

Upon request by the Lessee, the Lessor shall provide the Lessee with a copy of the relevant tax bill or other relevant proof of such Impositions.

(d)           Lessor, upon request of Lessee, shall furnish to Lessee for its inspection, within five (5) days after any written request, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to Lessee, evidencing the payment thereof by Lessor

 

(e)           Lessee shall not institute or maintain any action, proceeding or application in any court or with any governmental authority or otherwise for the purpose of changing the Impositions.

Each such installment, preliminarily, shall be in the amount specified in a written statement furnished to Lessee by the Lessor (at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the first monthly installment of each Lease Year is due) calculated based upon Lessor’s good faith estimate of the Operating Expenses for the next ensuing Lease Year.

If Lessee shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged within the period aforesaid, then, in addition to any other right or remedy, Lessor may, after twenty (20) days’ notice to Lessee, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and in any such event Lessor shall be entitled if Lessor so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection therewith shall constitute additional rent payable by Lessee under this Lease and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.

An increased coverage or “umbrella policy” may be provided and utilized by Lessee to increase the coverage provided by individual or blanket policies in lower amounts and the aggregate liabilities provided by all such policies covering the Demised Premises and Lessee’s liability hereunder shall be satisfactory provided they otherwise comply with the provisions of this Article.

Section 10.03 If Lessor fails to make repairs within the Demised Premises that are required of it under this Lease within twenty (20) days after receipt of Lessee’s written notice of such failure (unless the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than twenty (20) days are required for its performance and Lessor commences performance within such twenty (20) days period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion), Lessee may, at its option, make such repairs or replacements and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for all such expenses incurred in making such repairs with interest at the Interest Rate within twenty (20) days after presentation of invoices therefor. If such sums are not paid by Lessor within such twenty (20) day period, Lessee may offset such expenses against the next ensuing installments of rent and other sums due and payable under this Lease, together with interest at the Interest Rate.

Section 11.01 Alterations By Lessee. Lessee shall make no alterations, installations, additions or improvements in or to the Demised Premises (collectively, "Alterations") without Lessor's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to nonstructural Alterations). All Alterations done by Lessee shall at all times comply with all Legal Requirements and plans and specifications prepared by and at the sole cost and expense of Lessee theretofore submitted to Lessor for its prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Alterations shall be undertaken by Lessee, its agents, servants or employees, until Lessor has approved such plans and specifications in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and no amendments or additions to such plans and specifications shall be made without the prior written consent of Lessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the consent of Lessor shall not be required for non-structural, interior alterations costing $25,000 or less, or (ii) purely decorative alterations, regardless of cost.

 

 - 12 - 

 

 

Section 11.02 No Alteration, structural or otherwise, shall be undertaken until Lessee shall have procured and paid for all municipal and other governmental permits and authorizations of the various municipal departments and governmental subdivisions having jurisdiction relating to the particular phase of said Alteration to be undertaken. Lessor shall join in the application for such permits or authorizations whenever such action is necessary, provided that such action is without expense to Lessor. If by reason of any Alteration a new certificate of occupancy for the Improvements is required, Lessee shall obtain it promptly upon completion and shall furnish a copy thereof to Lessor promptly after its issuance.

 

Section 11.03 All work done in connection with any Alteration shall be done promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Legal Requirements.

 

Section 11.04 Lessee shall indemnify and defend the Lessor and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liens, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and other liabilities which the Lessor may incur, arising out of or due to any such Alterations. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. At all times when any Alteration, structural or otherwise, is in progress Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 9.01. All such insurance for bodily injury and property damage shall name the Lessor as an insured thereunder; and the policies therefor shall be submitted to the Lessor for its approval of the coverage and insurer before any work is commenced.

Section 11.06 The Lessee agrees that in the exercise of any rights pursuant to the provisions of this Article, any other provision of this Lease and/or pursuant to any consent to any Alteration in or to the Demised Premises, it shall perform its work in a diligent and expeditious manner.

FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY

 

Section 12.01 If the Demised Premises or any other portion of the Improvements shall be damaged by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Lessor, at Lessor's expense, shall repair such damage. However, Lessor shall have no obligation to repair any damage to, or to replace, Lessee's personal property or any other property or

  

 - 13 -

 

 

effects of Lessee. If the entire Demised Premises shall be rendered untenantable by reason of any such damage, the Rent shall abate for the period from the date of such damage to the date when such damage shall have been repaired, and if only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so rendered untenantable, the Rent shall abate for such period in the proportion which the rentable area of the part of the Demised Premises so rendered untenantable bears to the total rentable area of the Demised Premises. However, if prior to the date when all of such damage shall have been repaired any part of the Demised Premises so damaged shall be rendered tenantable and shall be used or occupied by Lessee or any person or persons claiming through or under Lessee, then the amount by which the Rent shall abate shall be equitably apportioned for the period from the date of any such use or occupancy to the date when all such damage shall have been repaired.

 

Section 12.02 Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Article, in the event that any Casualty rendering a “Material Portion” (as hereinafter defined) of the Demised Premises wholly untenantable occurs during the Term, either Lessor or Lessee may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Casualty, this Lease shall expire on the 30th day after the date of such notice, the Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the Casualty and any prepaid portion of Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Lessor to Lessee. For purposes of this Article 12, a “Material Portion” of the Demised Premises shall be deemed untenantable if due to such Casualty, (a) Lessee shall be precluded from using more than 20% of the area of the Demised Premises for the conduct of its business and (b) Lessee’s inability to so use the Building is reasonably expected to continue until at least the earlier of the (i) Expiration Date, or (ii) the 90th day after the date when such Casualty occurred.

 

Section 12.03 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if such portion of the Demised Premises or the Improvements is affected by a fire, casualty or condemnation so that there is material interference with Lessee's ability to conduct its business in the Demised Premises, then Lessee shall promptly give Lessor notice of such condition. Within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice, Lessor shall furnish Lessee with the opinion of an independent architect reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee specifying whether the Demised Premises (and access thereto) can be substantially restored to that condition existing prior to the fire, casualty or condemnation within 120 days from the date of Lessee's notice. If the architect's opinion states that the Demised Premises cannot be so restored in such period or if the opinion is not given within such thirty (30) day period, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice given within thirty (30) days of the date such notice was given or was required to have been given, as the case may be, such termination having the same force and effect as if the date of such termination were the date set forth above for the expiration of this Lease. Furthermore, if Lessee does not elect to terminate and Lessor's restoration is not completed within ninety (90) days of the date of the casualty, then Lessee may at anytime thereafter, until such restoration is completed, terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days notice.

 

Section 12.04 This Article 12 constitutes an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or

 

 - 14 -

 

 

other Casualty, and any law which provides for such contingency in the absence of an express agreement now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in any such case.

 

ARTICLE XIII

 

CONDEMNATION

 

Section 13.01 In the event that the whole of the Demised Premises or the Building shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or quasi-public use, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title. In the event that only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so condemned or taken, then effective as of the date of vesting of title, the Rent hereunder shall be abated in an amount thereof apportioned according to the rentable area of the Demised Premises so condemned or taken. If such condemnation or taking shall be of a “Material Portion” of the Building or a substantial part of the means of access thereto, Lessee shall have the right, by delivery of notice in writing to Lessor within a sixty (60) days following the date on which Lessee shall have received notice of vesting of title, to terminate this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted as of the date of vesting of title or (c) if neither Lessor nor Lessee elects to terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation or taking, except that the Rent shall be abated to the extent, if any, hereinabove provided in this Article. In the event that only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so condemned or taken and this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are not terminated as hereinabove provided, Lessor will, at its expense, restore the remaining portion of the Demised Premises and the Improvements as nearly as practicable to the same condition as it was in prior to such condemnation or taking. In the event of a termination in any of the cases hereinabove provided, this Lease and the Term and estate granted shall expire as of the date of such termination with the same effect as if that were the Expiration Date of this Lease, and the Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. For purposes of this Article 13, a “Material Portion” of the Building shall be deemed taken if due to such condemnation or taking, (a) Lessee shall be precluded from using more than 20% of the area of the Demised Premises for the conduct of its business and (b) Lessee’s inability to so use the Demised Premises is reasonably expected to continue until at least the earlier of the (i) Expiration Date, or (ii) the 90th day after the date of the vesting of title.

 

Section 13.02 In the event of any condemnation or taking hereinabove mentioned of all or part of the Demised Premises, Lessor shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the condemnation proceeding, including any award made for the value of the estate vested by this Lease in Lessee, and Lessee hereby expressly assigns to Lessor any and all right, title and interest of Lessee now or hereafter arising in or to any such award or any part thereof, and Lessee shall be entitled to receive no part of such award, except that the Lessee may file a claim for any taking of non-movable fixtures owned by Lessee and for moving expenses incurred by Lessee. It is expressly understood and agreed that the provisions of this Article 13 shall not be applicable to any condemnation or taking for governmental occupancy for a limited period.

Section 13.03 In the event any action is filed to condemn the Demised Premises or any part thereof by any public or quasi public authority under the power of eminent domain, or in the event that any action is filed to acquire the temporary use of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or in the event that any such action is threatened or any public or quasi public authority communicates to Lessor or Lessee its desire to acquire the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or the temporary use thereof, by a voluntary conveyance or transfer in lieu of condemnation, either Lessor or Lessee shall give prompt notice thereof to the other.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Section 15.01 Lessee shall not mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate this Lease or the Demised Premises or any part thereof in any manner whatsoever, and any attempt to do so shall be void and a material breach of this Lease. Lessee shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise: (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or offer or advertise to do so; or (b) sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or offer or advertise to do so, without in each instance, obtaining the prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt by Lessee to assign or transfer this Lease (or its Term and estate) or offer or advertise to do so, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or offer or advertise to do so, without strictly complying with the requirements of this Article shall be void and a material breach of this Lease. Use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by a licensee, concessionaire, or any person other than Lessee is a sublease subject to this Article.

 

Section 15.02 If Lessee is a corporation, a dissolution of the corporation or a transfer (by one or more transactions) of a majority of the voting stock of Lessee shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease subject to this Article except for transactions with a corporation into or with which Lessee is merged or consolidated, provided that a principal purpose of such merger is not the assignment of this Lease. If Lessee is a partnership, or limited liability partnership or limited liability company, a dissolution thereof or a transfer of the controlling interest in Lessee (including the admission of new partners or members or withdrawal of existing partners or members having a controlling interest) shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease subject to the provisions of this Article regardless of whether the transfer is made by one or more transactions, or whether one or more persons hold the controlling interest prior to the transfer or afterwards.

 

Section 15.03 No assignment of this Lease shall be valid or binding on Lessor unless and until the assignee executes and delivers to Lessor an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, whereby the assignee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Lessee hereunder.

 

Section 15.04 The consent by Lessor to any assignment or sublease shall not relieve Lessee or any person claiming through or under Lessee of the obligation to obtain the consent of Lessor, pursuant to the provisions of this Article to any future assignment or sublease.

 

Section 15.05 If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, Lessor may collect rent from the assignee. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof are sublet, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Lessor may, after default by Lessee and expiration of Lessee's time to cure such default, collect rent from the sublessee. In either event, Lessor may apply the net amount collected to payment of Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, or collection shall be deemed a

 

 - 17 - 

 

 

waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease, an acceptance of the assignee or sublessee as a lessee or a release of Lessee from the performance by Lessee under this Lease.

 

Section 15.06 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the consent of the Lessor shall not be required for (i) assignments or subletting to an entity into or with which Lessee is merged or consolidated, (ii) assignments or subletting to an entity into which substantially all of Lessee's assets are transferred or (iii) assignments or subletting to an “Affiliated Entity” (as hereinafter defined); provided such assignment or subletting is for an independent business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby. As used in this Section, an "Affiliated Entity" means (a) an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Lessee.

(b)           Lessee shall default in making payment to Lessor of any Rent or any other amounts due hereunder, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default in payment shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after notice by Lessor; provided, however, that if Lessee shall default in the timely payment of Rent more than two times in any period of 12 months, then, notwithstanding that such defaults shall have each been cured within the applicable period provided above, upon any further default in the timely payment of Rent, Lessor may serve a ten (10) day notice of termination upon Lessee without affording Lessee an opportunity to cure such further default; or

 

(c)           Lessee shall default in complying with any other agreements, terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease and such default shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days after notice by Lessor specifying the claimed default; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such sixty (60) day period, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee shall within such sixty (60) day period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion; or

 

(d)           If at any time during the Term of this Lease (i) any proceedings in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization shall be instituted against Lessee pursuant to any federal or state law now or hereafter enacted, or any receiver or trustee shall be appointed of all or any portion of Lessee’s business or property, or any execution or attachment shall issue against Lessee or any of Lessee’s business or property or against the leasehold estate created hereby, and any of such proceedings, process or appointment be not discharged and dismissed within sixty (60) days from the date of such filing, appointment or issuance; or (ii) Lessee shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or petition for (or enter into) an arrangement or for reorganization, composition or any other arrangement with Lessee’s creditors under any federal or state law now or hereafter enacted, or this Lease or the estate of Lessee herein shall pass to or devolve upon, by operation of law or otherwise, anyone other than Lessee (except as herein provided);

 

 - 20 - 

 

 

then, and in any such events, Lessor at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default may serve a written ten (10) day notice of cancellation and termination of this Lease (the “Termination Notice”) upon Lessee, and upon the expiration of said ten (10) days, this Lease and the Term hereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the date of expiration of such ten (10) day period were the day herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this Lease and the Term thereof, and Lessee shall then quit and surrender to Lessor the Demised Premises and each and every part thereof, and Lessor may enter into or repossess the Demised Premises and each and every part thereof, either by force, summary proceedings or otherwise.

 

Section 19.02 Lessee’s Liability. No such expiration or termination of this Lease shall relieve Lessee of its liability and obligation to pay Base Rent, Impositions, Operating Expenses and any other amounts due Lessor hereunder, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such expiration or termination.

 

Section 19.03 Right to Re-Enter and Re-Let. If this Lease shall terminate pursuant to any of the provisions of this Article or if this Lease shall terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, surrender, operation of law, issuance of final court order or otherwise then in any of said events:

 

(a)           Lessor may re-enter the Demised Premises to remove therefrom Lessee, its agents, employees, licensees and any sublessees, persons, firms or corporations and all of their respective property, using such reasonable force for that purpose as may be necessary without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor, and thereupon Lessor shall be entitled to retain possession of the Demised Premises with all additions, alterations and improvements thereon, fixtures and appurtenances thereto, free from any estate or interest of Lessee therein. Lessee does hereby expressly waive service of any notice of intention to re-enter or enter except as herein otherwise expressly provided.

 

(b)           Lessor, at Lessor’s option, may relet the whole or any part of parts of the Demised Premises, from time to time, either in the name of Lessor or otherwise, to such lessee or lessees, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the date fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term; at such rental or rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine. Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Demised Premises at market rents.

 

Section 19.04 Late Charge. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of Base Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent or any other sum due from Lessee hereunder shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within fifteen (15) days after such amount shall be due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such a late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event

 

 - 21 - 

 

 

constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

 

Section 19.05 Waiver of Rights. Lessee, for itself and for any and all persons claiming through or under Lessee, including its creditors, upon the termination of this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of entry of judgment for the recovery of the possession of the Demised Premises in any action or proceeding, or if Lessor shall enter the Demised Premises by process of law or otherwise, hereby waives any right of redemption provided or permitted by any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force, and does hereby waive, surrender and give up all rights or privileges which it or they may or might have, under and by reason of any present or future law or decision, to redeem the Demised Premises and the Improvements or for a continuation of this Lease for the Term hereby demised after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law.

 

Section 19.06 Receipt of Rent. No receipt of moneys by Lessor from Lessee after the termination hereof in any lawful manner shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term, or affect any notice theretofore given to Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to enforce the payment of any Base Rent then due or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Lessor to recover possession of the Demised Premises by proper suit, action, proceedings or other remedy; it being agreed that after the service of the Termination Notice as herein provided and the expiration of the time therein specified, after the commencement of any suit, action, proceedings or other remedy, or after a final order or judgment for possession of the Demised Premises, Lessor may demand, receive and collect any moneys due, or thereafter falling due, without in any manner affecting such notice, suit, action, proceedings, order or judgment; and any and all such moneys so collected shall be deemed to be payments on account of the use and occupation of the Demised Premises, or, at the election of Lessor, on account of Lessee’s liability hereunder.

 

Section 19.07 Lessor’s Remedies. If this Lease and the demised Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in this Article XIX or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, or if Lessor shall re-enter the Demised Premises as provided above, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said events:

 

(b)           Lessee shall pay to Lessor all Rent and other charges payable under this Lease by Lessee to Lessor to the date upon which this Lease and the demised Term shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon the Demised Premises by Lessor, as the case may be; and

 

(c)           Lessee shall also be liable for and shall pay to Lessor, as damages, any deficiency (referred to as “Deficiency”) between the Base Rent and other amounts payable by Lessee under this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the demised Term and the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.03 above, for any part of such period (first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Lessor’s expenses in

 

 - 22 - 

 

 

connection with the termination of this Lease or Lessor’s re-entry upon the Demised Premises and with such reletting including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing the Demised Premises for such reletting).

 

Section 19.08 Interest. Any Rent or damages payable under this Lease and not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of nine (9%) percent per annum (the “Interest Rate”), but in no event higher than the highest legal rate, from the due date until paid, and the interest shall be deemed Additional Rent.

 

Section 19.09 Remedies Not Exclusive. Lessor’s remedies provided in this Lease shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity or otherwise; provided, however, in no event shall Lessor be entitled to the acceleration of Rents due under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE XX

 

LESSOR’S RIGHT TO CURE LESSEE’S DEFAULTS.

 

Section 20.01 Lessor’s Right to Cure. Whenever Lessee shall fail to comply with and perform any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, then, following (a) fifteen (15) days prior written notice as to any monetary default; or (b) following thirty (30) days’ prior written notice as to other defaults; or (c) following shorter notice if reasonably necessary to meet an emergency situation or governmental time limitation, Lessor may perform, or cause to be performed, such term, covenant or condition, and take such other steps, including entry onto the Demised Premises, as it may deem advisable, to achieve such performance or compliance, in which event Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon demand for all costs and expenses suffered or incurred by it in connection therewith, together with interest at the Interest Rate. Acting in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed to obligate Lessor to commence or complete the curing of any term, covenant, or condition which is in default within said time limits or otherwise. Lessee hereby waives any claim and releases Lessor and Lessor’s agents, contractors and employees from all liability for damage occasioned by any action taken by Lessor pursuant to this Section. Such action by Lessor shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver or release of Lessee from any obligation of Lessee contained in this Lease or from any default by Lessee and without waiving Lessor’s right to take such action as may be permissible under this Lease as a result of such default. Any sum of money (other than Base Rent) accruing from Lessee to Lessor pursuant to this Section, may, at Lessor's option, be deemed Additional Rent, and Lessor shall have the same remedies as are available for Lessee's failure to pay any installment of Base Rent when due. Lessee's obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration of sooner termination of the Term.

ARTICLE XXII

 

SURRENDER

 

Section 22.01 Except as is herein otherwise provided, Lessee shall on the last day of the Term or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, well and truly surrender and deliver up the Demised Premises and the Improvements to the possession and use of Lessor without fraud or delay in substantially the same order, condition and repair they were in on the date of this Lease, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear and (ii) damage caused by Casualty or condemnation. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Lessee shall not be required to (i) remove or pay for the removal of any alterations, installations, additions or improvements previously made with the consent of the Lessor or (ii) make or pay for any repairs to the Demised Premises that can be performed by repainting, minor spackling, re-carpeting or other work that is typically performed by Lessors in preparation for re-letting similar premises.

 

Section 22.02 Unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto in a writing executed by both parties prior to the Expiration Date of this Lease, there shall be no holding over by Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and the failure by Lessee to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Lessor shall be an unlawful holdover. During any period in which Lessee so holds over, at Lessor's option, the rental value of the Demised Premises, payable from the date immediately following the date on which Lessee was to deliver the Demised Premises through and including the last day of the calendar month in which Lessee so delivers the Demised Premises, shall be deemed to be equal to (a) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent payable immediately preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, plus (b) all other items of Additional Rent that would have been otherwise payable hereunder had this Lease not expired or been terminated. Acceptance by Lessor of any such rent during the period in which Lessee so holds over shall not cure or waive Lessee's default, nor prevent Lessor from exercising, before or after such acceptance, any of the remedies provided by this Lease or at law or in equity. Payment of any such rent and other sums during any period in which Lessee holds over shall not excuse Lessee's obligation to vacate and surrender the Demised Premises on the date, and in the manner and condition, required under this Lease. Lessee waives any rights it may have under applicable law in connection with any holdover proceedings that Lessor may institute against Lessee. Lessee's obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

 

Section 22.03 All trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, and other personal property of Lessee, whether attached to or built into the Demised Premises, whether by Lessor or Lessee or others, and whether at Lessor's expense, or Lessee's expense, or the joint expense of Lessor and Lessee, shall, at the option of Lessee either (i)

 

 - 24 - 

 

 

be deemed abandoned and remain the property of Lessor, or (ii) be removed by Lessee at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.

 

Section 22.04 The provisions of this Article shall survive any termination of this Lease.

If, by reason of strikes or other labor disputes, fire or other casualty (or reasonable delays in adjustment of insurance), accidents, orders or regulations of any Federal, State, County or Municipal authority, or any other cause beyond Lessor's or Lessee’s reasonable control, whether or not such other cause shall be similar in nature to those hereinbefore enumerated, Lessor or Lessee is unable to perform or make or is delayed in performing or making any installations, decorations, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, whether or not required to be performed or made under this Lease, or under any collateral instrument, or is unable to fulfill or is delayed in fulfilling any of its respective other obligations under this Lease (other than the payment of Rent), or any collateral instrument, no such inability or delay shall constitute a default under this Lease, or relieve the other party from any of its obligations under this Lease.

 

Section 24.02 Attorney’s Fees and Expenses. If any party commences an action against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including expert witnesses’ fees, costs of collection and the costs of any appeal.

Section 24.04 No Waiver of Rights. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by Lessee or Lessee, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by both parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

Section 24.05 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Lessee agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided all Lessor’s obligations hereunder are assumed in writing by the transferee.

 

24.09       No Waste.

24.13       Binding Effect.

24.15       Waiver.
