8.02 Title and Covenant Against Liens. The Landlord’s title is and always shall be paramount to the title of the Tenant and nothing in this Lease contained shall empower the Tenant to do any act which can, shall or may encumber the title of the Landlord.

10.03 Landlord’s Lien. All trade fixtures, personal property, equipment and merchandise belonging to Tenant which are, or may be, put into the Premises during the Term, whether exempt or not from sale under execution and attachment under the laws of the state where the Premises are located, shall at all times be subject to a first lien and security interest in favor of Landlord, for the purpose of securing all rent, additional rent or other sums which may become due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease.

Tenant shall likewise not make any alterations, additions, improvements or changes in the Premises having a cost of $5,000.00 or more without in each instance first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Tenant may make first-class manner such interior additions, improvements and changes in the Premises so long as such alterations, additions, improvements and changes are non-structural and do not interfere with or otherwise affect any plumbing, fire protection and protection or utility systems except those installed by Tenant or exclusively serving the Premises. All such permitted alterations, additions, improvements and changes in the Premises shall be at Tenant’s sole and exclusive expense and comply with all insurance requirements and with applicable governmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations. All such alterations, additions, improvements or changes shall become upon completion the property of the Landlord, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord.

10.05 Loss and Damage to Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises, nor the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of others by theft or otherwise. All property of Tenant kept or stored on the Premises shall be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only, and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to same, including subrogation claims by Tenant’s insurance carrier, unless such damage shall be caused by the willful act or gross negligence of the Landlord.

10.06 Tenant’s Improvements. It is contemplated that Tenant will make significant improvements to the subject Premises prior to its opening for business. It is agreed by Tenant that it will provide Landlord, on a monthly basis during the time of Tenant’s improvements to the Premises, with copies of all invoices, and proof of payment therefore, associated with Tenant’s work.

ARTICLE 12 - Insurance

12.01 Insurance to be Provided by Tenant. Tenant shall maintain throughout the Term, at its expense, insurance of the following character: (a) casualty insurance against loss or damage by fire and other risks from time to time included under “extended coverage” policies, in the amount of the full replacement cost of all Tenant Improvements and all subsequent alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises and all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises; (b) comprehensive general public liability insurance (including contractual liability) against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, such insurance to afford protection of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence; (c) workmen’s compensation insurance in amounts required by applicable law or statute covering all personnel employed by Tenant (i.e., employees and not independent contractors) in connection with any work done on or about the Premises; (d) insurance against loss or damage to plate glass in or on the Premises; and (e) such other insurance on the Premises in such amounts and against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly obtained in the case of property similar to the Premises.

12.02 General Insurance Requirements. Each policy of insurance referred to in Section 12.01 shall name as the insured parties thereunder Landlord (including its agents and other parties designated by Landlord) and Tenant, as their interest may appear, and shall be written as a primary policy which does not contribute to and is not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry. Every policy which Tenant is obligated to carry under the terms of Section 12.01 shall contain an agreement by the insurer that it will not cancel or fail to renew or amend such policy or reduce the coverage thereunder except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of the insures, evidencing all of the insurance which is required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder together with evidence of the payments therefore within ten (10) days of this Lease’s execution, and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, deliver other certificates of the insurers evidencing the renewal or replacement of such insurance together with evidence of the payment of all premiums therefore.

12.03 Waiver of Claims. Landlord and Landlord’s agents and employees shall not be liable for and Tenant waives all claims for damage to person or property sustained by Tenant or any party claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident of occurrence in or upon the Premises or the building of which they shall be a part.

13.01 Destruction of Premises. In the event that the Premises are totally or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or occurrence covered by insurance, the damage shall be repaired by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days of the casualty and the Premises restored to the same condition as they were in immediately before such damage or destruction, by Landlord at Landlord’s expense to the extent of insurance recovery. During said repair period, rent will not abate.

ARTICLE 14 - Assignment, Subletting and Encumbrance

14.01 Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or any interest therein or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The consent of Landlord to any one assignment or sublease pursuant hereto shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the provisions of this Section with respect to any subsequent assignment or sublease. Each such permitted sublease shall expressly be made subject to the provisions of this Lease. If Tenant assigns any of its rights and interests under this Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Landlord or otherwise affect any of the rights of Landlord under this Lease nor shall it affect or reduce any obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no assignment or subletting had been made. In the event Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublease the Premises for rent or other consideration in excess of the rent payable hereunder, Landlord shall receive all such excess rent or other consideration as additional rent hereunder.

 

8

14.02 Criteria for Assignment and Subletting. In evaluating and determining whether or not to consent to a requested assignment or sublease of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord must be satisfied in its sole reasonable determination that the criteria elements set forth above must continue to be satisfied and the Landlord must receive adequate assurance of the financial condition and stability of the proposed assignee, sublessee or subtenant (“assignee”).

14.03 Encumbrance. Neither this Lease nor the Term shall be mortgaged, pledged or encumbered by Tenant, nor shall Tenant mortgage, pledge or encumber the interest of Tenant in and to any sublease of the Premises or the rental payable thereunder, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in sole discretion of Landlord, and Tenant shall not allow or permit any transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of Law. Any such mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, sublease or assignment made in violation of this Section shall be void.

ARTICLE 15 - Default

15.01 Events of Default. Any of the following occurrences or acts shall constitute an event of default under this Lease.

(b) To the full extent permissible under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 as amended, or any successor thereto, (i) if Tenant or any Guarantor shall file a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any present or future federal or state bankruptcy law or under any similar federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or shall make assignment for the benefit of its creditors or shall admit in writing the inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of Tenant or any Guarantor as a bankrupt or its reorganization under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law shall be filed in any court and such petition or answer shall not be discharged or denied within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof, (ii) if a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Tenant or any Guarantor of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any Guarantor of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be appointed in any preceding brought by or against Tenant or any Guarantor and shall not be discharged within thirty (30) days after such appointment, or if Tenant or any Guarantor shall consent to or acquiesce in such appointment; or (iii) if the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 as amended, specifically Sections 363 and 365 thereof, are not satisfied to the fullest possible extent; or

(c) If the Premises shall have been abandoned, provided that the Premises shall be deemed to have been abandoned if Tenant transfers a substantial part of Tenant’s operations, business and personnel from the Premises to another location or fails to carry on its business at the Premises for a period of five (5) consecutive business days; or

(d) If Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises when possession is tendered by Landlord, or fails to submit plans or other information regarding the Tenant Improvements for Landlord’s approval or to commence and complete construction of the Tenant Improvements to be constructed by Tenant when as required by the provisions of this Lease and open its business therein promptly upon such completion.

15.02 Right to Terminate. If an event of default shall have occurred, Landlord shall have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter, to give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon giving of such notice, this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate on such date as fully and completely and with the same effect as if such date were the date hereinbefore fixed for the expiration of the Term, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

15.03 Right of Re-Entry. If any default shall have occurred, Landlord shall have the immediate right, whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 15.02, to re-enter and repossess the Premises or any part thereof by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise with the right to remove all persons and property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by any reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election be given to Tenant pursuant to Section 15.02 or unless the termination of this Lease be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

15.04 Right to Re-Let. At any time or from time to time after the repossession of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Section 15.03, whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 15.02, Landlord may (but shall be under no obligation) re-let the Premises or any other part thereof for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions (which may include concession or free rent) and for such uses as Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such re-letting. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to collect any rent due upon such re-letting.

15.05 Tenant to Remain Liable. No expiration or termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 15.02, by operation of law or otherwise, and no repossession of the premises or any part thereof pursuant to Section 15.03 or otherwise, and no re-letting of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Section 15.04, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, repossession or re-letting.

15.06 Current Damages. In the event of any expiration or termination of this Lease or repossession of the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the occurrence of default, Tenant will pay to Landlord the rent, additional rent and other sums required to be paid by the Tenant for the period to and including the date of such expiration, termination or repossession; and thereafter until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, and whether or not Premises or any part thereof shall have been re-let, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current damages the rent, additional rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, less the net proceeds, if any of re-letting affected for the account of Tenant pursuant to Section 15.04, after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord’s expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such re-letting (including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorney’s fees, employee expenses, alterations costs and expenses of preparation for such re-letting). Tenant will pay such current damages on the days on which rent would have been payable under this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such day.

15.07 Rights Cumulative, Non-Waiver. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. The failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in the Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. The receipt by Landlord of any rent, additional rent or any other sum payable hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to Landlord at law or in equity.

15.08 Legal Expenses. In the event either Landlord or Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and an action shall be brought for the enforcement thereof in which it shall be finally and no further appeal determined that Landlord or Tenant was in default, the party in default shall pay to the other

 

10

party all attorney’s fees and litigation expense incurred or paid by it in connection therewith. In the event Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced against Tenant, if Tenant, at its expense, shall fail to provide Landlord with counsel approved by Landlord, Tenant shall pay as additional rent all costs and attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation. In the event Tenant shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced against Landlord, if Landlord, at its expense, shall fail to provide Tenant with counsel approved by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs and attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Tenant in connection with such litigation.

15.09 Landlord’s Right to Cure. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any default by Tenant after complying with the notice provisions herein set forth, and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be so much additional rent due on demand with interest as provided in Sections 3.06 and 3.07.

15.10 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have therefore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction.

ARTICLE 16 - Estoppel Certificates, Subordination, Mortgage Protection

16.01 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) days after request therefore by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver a certificate in the form presented by Landlord to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser of the Premises, or to Landlord, certifying (if such be the case) to matters requested by Landlord. Failure of Tenant to execute and deliver the requested certificate shall constitute an event of default.

16.02 Subordination/Superiority. The rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage, trust deed or deed or trust that is or may hereafter be placed upon the Premises and to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to the interest thereon and all renewals, amendments, modifications, replacements and extensions thereof, if the mortgagee or trustee or secured party named in such mortgage or trust deed and shall agree by instrument in writing to recognize this Lease in the event of foreclosure, if and so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder.

ARTICLE 17 - Surrender and Holdover

Tenant shall, at its expense, remove from the Premises on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination all furnishings, fixtures and equipment situated thereon (including all exterior and interior signs) which are not the property of Landlord as provided in Section 10.01, and Tenant shall, at its expense, on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination, repair any damage caused by such removal. Any property not so removed shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Premises and disposed of, but the cost of any such removal and disposition and the cost of repairing any damage caused by such removal shall be borne by Tenant.

17.02 Holdover. Should be Tenant or any party claiming under Tenant hold over in possession at the expiration of the Term, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Term or renew this Lease, and such holding over shall be an unlawful detainer and such parties shall be subject to immediate eviction and removal. Tenant shall pay upon demand to Landlord during any period while Tenant shall hold the Premises after expiration of the term, as liquidated damages, a sum equal to 150% the monthly rate of Minimum Rent in effect for the last month of the Term, and Tenant shall also pay all damages, consequential as well as direct, sustained by Landlord by reason of such holding over.
