As used herein, “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the fair market rental rate for the Demised Premises at the time Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s election to exercise its option to extend the Term under Section 3(b) above. Within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rent. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days from its receipt of such notice from Landlord to notify Landlord that Tenant does not agree with Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rent. If Tenant fails to so notify Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to have accepted Landlord's determination. If Tenant does not agree with Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rent, and Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the Fair Market Rent within ten (10) days of Tenant's notice to Landlord of Tenant's disagreement, then Landlord and Tenant shall each submit a new determination of the Fair Market Rent to the appraisers appointed as follows. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within twenty (20) days of Tenant's notice to Landlord of Tenant's disagreement, appoint one (1) independent appraiser who shall by profession be an MAI appraiser with experience appraising property similar in nature to the Demised Premises in the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. Within thirty (30) days of the date of appointment of the last appointed appraiser each party shall present their respective appraiser's results. If the results of the two appraisers are within 10% of the results of the lower of the two appraisals, then the Fair Market Rent shall be the average of the results of the two appraisals. If the results of the two appraisals are not within 10% of the lower of the two appraisals, then the two (2) appraisers shall within fifteen (15) days agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers. The third appraiser shall within thirty (30) days present its opinion of the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent shall be the average of the results of the third appraiser and the results of the other appraiser closest to that of the third appraiser. The cost of the third appraisal shall be shared equally by the parties.

13.      Section 4(d) of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

Property Taxes. Tenant shall in respect of all periods of the Term pay all real property taxes and general and special assessments on the Demised Premises, and shall pay all taxes charged against trade fixtures, utility installations, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Landlord shall forward to Tenant in a timely manner all bills and notices with respect to such real property taxes and assessments as are received by Landlord from third parties, and within five (5) days after request by Landlord (and in no event less than quarterly), Tenant shall provide Landlord with written evidence of each such payment. Tenant shall be deemed to have complied with the covenants of this Section 4(d) if payment of such taxes or assessments shall have been made within any period allowed by law or by the governmental authority imposing the same during which payment is permitted without penalty or interest. Tenant or its designees shall have the right to contest or review all such taxes by legal proceedings, or in such other manner as Tenant may deem suitable. If instituted, Tenant or its designees shall conduct such review or contest promptly at its own expense, and free of any expense to Landlord, and, if necessary, in the name of and with the cooperation of Landlord and Landlord shall execute all documents reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall promptly pay all such taxes if at any time the Demised Premises or any part of the Demised Premises shall be subject to the commencement of any forfeiture proceeding, or if Landlord shall be subject to any civil or criminal liability arising out of the nonpayment thereof, or if nonpayment would result in any default under any loan or other obligation of Landlord secured by any deed of trust or other lien on the Demised Premises. If there shall be any refunds or rebates on account of the taxes paid by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, such refund or rebate shall belong to Tenant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of any penalties or interest charged with respect to taxes and assessments for which Tenant is responsible, except that Landlord shall be responsible for any such penalties or interest resulting from any failure by Landlord to timely forward to Tenant any bill or notice of such taxes or assessments received by Landlord.

15.      The initial paragraph of Section 6 of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

17.       Section 6(g) of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain property insurance on the Demised Premises and appurtenant structures in the amount of 100% of the replacement cost of the Demised Premises.

The proceeds of such insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property so insured (including, without limitation, any repair or replacement of such property in accordance with Section 16 below).

Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain a policy of Commercial General Liability insurance insuring Tenant and as additional insureds, Landlord and any of Landlord's mortgagees, against liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Demised Premises. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single-limit coverage in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence. The amount of such insurance shall be subject to periodic increase requests by Landlord based upon inflation, increased liability awards, recommendation of professional insurance advisers, and other relevant factors. If Landlord requests a change to said limit, Tenant shall review the request but shall not be obligated to change said limit unless such change is necessary to increase said limit to a commercially reasonable amount, in which case such amount shall be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant. However, the limits of such insurance shall not limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder.

 

Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder shall be in companies holding a “General Policyholders' Rating” of B-plus or better and a “financial rating” of 10 or better, as a set forth in the most current issue of “Best's Insurance Guide”, or such comparable ratings as Landlord and Tenant shall agree.

Tenant shall use its best efforts to furnish Landlord with renewal certificates thereof within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration, cancellation or reduction of such policies, but in any event shall furnish Landlord with such renewal certificates as soon as they are available to Tenant. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies required under this Lease.

 

Tenant shall obtain from the issuers of the insurance policies referred to in this Lease a waiver of subrogation provision in said policies (with respect to Landlord) and Tenant hereby releases and relieves Landlord, and waives any and all rights of recovery against Landlord, or against the employees, officers, agents and representatives of Landlord, for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured against under this Lease which perils occur in, on or about the Demised Premises, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees (but not if due to the intentional misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees).

20.       Section 16(b) of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds payable under any fire and extended coverage risk insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be payable solely to Landlord or any mortgagee under a mortgage or beneficiary under a deed of trust holding a lien encumbering the Demised Premises (as their respective interests shall appear) to be held and applied to the cost of restoring the Demised Premises, and Tenant shall have no interest therein, except that Tenant shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds payable for the destruction of Tenant's personal property (in no event, however, shall Tenant be entitled to insurance proceeds with respect to destruction of any improvements, betterments or fixtures on the Demised Premises). Tenant shall also be responsible for the amount of any deductible required under any insurance policy covering fire or other casualty. If for any reason any portion of the cost to restore the Demised Premises is not covered by insurance, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any cost or expense that is not so covered.

Tenant shall in no case be entitled to compensation for damages on account of any annoyance or inconvenience in making repairs under any provision of this Lease. Neither the rent payable by Tenant nor any of Tenant's other obligations under any provisions of this Lease shall be affected by any damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof by any cause whatsoever.

24.       Landlord hereby grants to New Tenant a right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”) to purchase the Demised Premises in the event that Landlord shall desire to sell the Demised Premises. If Landlord receives an offer to purchase the Demised Premises that Landlord desires to accept (a “Purchase Offer”), then Landlord shall notify New Tenant in writing of such Purchase Offer and provide New Tenant with a copy of the same. New Tenant shall have twenty (20) days (the “Right Period”) after receiving such notice and copy within which to exercise the First Refusal Right; provided, however that if the Purchase Offer is from a party associated with an inpatient rehabilitation hospital, long term acute care hospital or skilled nursing facility located or to be located within Clark County, Nevada, then the Right Period shall be thirty (30) days from New Tenant's receipt of such notice and copy. If New Tenant elects to so exercises the First Refusal Right, then New Tenant shall purchase the Demised Premises at the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as are specified in the Purchase Offer. If New Tenant does not exercise the First Refusal Right with respect to such Purchase Offer within the Right Period, then the First Refusal Right shall terminate with respect to such Purchase Offer and Landlord may proceed with the sale of the Demised Premises in accordance with the Purchase Offer. The First Refusal Right shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, or (b) the sale of the Demised Premises pursuant to a Purchase Offer with respect to which New Tenant does not elect to exercise the First Refusal Right.

27.       The payment and performance obligations of New Tenant under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, have been guaranteed by HealthSouth Corporation, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to a Guaranty of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

 

28.       Save and except as amended hereby, the Lease Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

The actual number of square feet of the Building shall be deemed to be equal to the aforementioned approximation.

 

3.         Term.

Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant to the terms hereof either in Landlord's own name or in the name of Tenant, or assume Tenant's interest in and to any existing subleases to any tenant of the Demised Premises, as Landlord may see fit, and Tenant shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any rent from such tenants, subtenants, licensees or concessionaires on the Demised Premises. In any case, and whether or not the Demised Premises or any part thereof be relet, Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such default and whether or not the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord and shall pay to Landlord monthly an amount equal to the amount due as rent hereunder, less the net proceeds for said month, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, after deducting all of Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorney's fees, expenses of employees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation for such reletting (all said costs are cumulative and shall be applied against proceeds of reletting until paid in full), or

Pursuant to said rights of reentry, Landlord may remove all persons from the Demised Premises and may, but shall not be obligated to, remove all property therefrom, and may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce any rights Landlord may have against said property or store the same in any public or private warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant or the owner or owners thereof. Tenant agrees to hold Landlord free, and harmless of any liability whatsoever for the removal and/or storage of any such property, whether of Tenant or any third party whomsoever. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the liability of Tenant to pay any rent or other sum of money thereafter to accrue hereunder, or Tenant's liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof, by any such reentry, or by any action in unlawful detainer or otherwise to obtain possession of the Demised Premises, unless Landlord shall have specifically, with reference to this Section, notified Tenant in writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that the service by Landlord pursuant to such notice shall not (unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time of, or at any time subsequent to, the service of such notice thereof to Tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this Lease or the termination of any liability of Tenant hereunder to Landlord.

f.             No Waiver.

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent herein provided shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent due and payable hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease, This paragraph may not be waived.

23.       Default by Landlord.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Tenant agrees that if the default complained of in the notice provided for by this Section is of such a nature that the same can be rectified or cured by Landlord, but cannot with reasonable diligence be rectified or cured within said twenty (20) day period, then such default shall be deemed to be rectified or cured if Landlord within said twenty (20) day period shall commence the rectification and curing thereof and shall continue thereafter with all due diligence to cause such rectification and curing to proceed and so does complete the same, with the use of diligence as aforesaid. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) the interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises; or (ii) the interest Landlord would have in the Demised Premises if the Demised Premises were encumbered by third party debt in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the value of the Demised Premises (as such value is determined by Landlord) and Tenant agrees to look solely to such amount for recovery of any judgment from Landlord, it being intended that Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency.

Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease nor the leasehold estate hereby created or any interest herein or sublet the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, or license the use of all or any portion of the Demised Premises without prior written consent of the Landlord which consent shall not be withheld: (i) for any sublease, so long as Tenant has not subleased in the aggregate over one-third of the Demised Premises giving effect to such sublease; and (ii) for an assignment, if the proposed assignment is being made to an assignee of good repute with equal or superior credit-worthiness to that of Landlord, and such assignee will only utilize the Demised Premises as an inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Neither the consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting, nor the act of any such assignment or subletting, shall constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, nor shall it constitute a release of any obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees that may be incurred or paid by Landlord in processing, documenting, or administering any request of Tenant for Landlord's consent required pursuant to this Section. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained.

 

a.           Assignor Remains Liable. In the absence of an express agreement in writing to the contrary, executed by Landlord, no assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, subletting or license hereof or hereunder shall act as a release of Tenant from any of the provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and

performed.

 

b.           No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation hereof, or the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to any provision contained herein, shall not work a merger, but at the option of Landlord, shall either terminate any or all existing subleases or sub-tenancies, or operate as an assignment to the Landlord of any and all such subleases or sub-tenancies.

 

 -12- 

 

 

14.       Insolvency. It is understood and agreed that neither this Lease nor any interest herein or hereunder, nor any estate hereby created in favor of Tenant, shall pass by operation of law under any state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy act, or any similar law now or hereafter in effect, to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person whomsoever without the express prior written consent of Landlord.

 

15.       Condemnation. Should the whole or any part of the Demised Premises be condemned or taken by a competent authority for any public or quasi-public purpose, all awards payable on account of such condemnation and taking shall be payable to Landlord, and Tenant hereby waives any and all interest therein. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be so condemned and taken, then this Lease shall terminate upon such taking. If greater than one-third (1/3) of the floor space of the Demised Premises is condemned or taken, and if the remaining portion thereof will not be reasonably adequate for the operation of Tenant’s business after Tenant completes such repairs or alterations as are necessary to restore such part of the Demised Premises to as near its former condition immediately preceding the taking as the circumstances will permit, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease by notifying the other party hereto of such election in writing within twenty (20) days after such taking. If by such condemnation and taking one-third (1/3) or less of the Demised Premises has been taken, or if a part only of the Demised Premises is taken and the remaining part thereof is suitable for the purposes for which Tenant has leased said premises, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore such part of the Demised Premises to as near its former condition immediately preceding the taking as the circumstances will permit, but the Base Rent shall be reduced in an amount equal to that proportion of the Base Rent which the floor space of the portion taken bears to the total floor space of the Demised Premises. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable restoration costs, to the extent Landlord has recovered same from the condemning authority, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written demand and documentation evidencing the cost of such restoration.

 

16.       Destruction of Premises. In the case of (i) the total destruction of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof substantially interfering with Tenant's use of the Demised Premises, whether by fire or other casualty, not caused by the default or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, servants, contractors, subtenants, licensees, customers or business invitees, or (ii) in the event any mortgagee under a mortgage or beneficiary under a deed of trust hold a lien encumbering the Demised Premises shall require payments of insurance proceeds, or (iii) in the event of a natural uninsured loss to the Demised Premises, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant of such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. If Landlord does not thus elect to terminate the Lease, Tenant shall repair such damage within 180 days, this Lease shall not terminate, but shall continue in full force and effect. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section and if Tenant is not in default hereunder, rent shall be prorated as of the date of termination, and all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate.

 

 -13- 

 

 

a.           lease Does Not Terminate If Damage by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, shall be damaged by fire or other casualty due to the fault or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, servants, contractors, subtenants, licensees, customers or business invitees, then, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Landlord, this Lease shall not terminate, the damage shall be repaired by Tenant, and there shall be no apportionment or abatement of any rent.

 

b.          Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds payable under any fire and extended coverage risk insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be payable solely to Landlord or any mortgagee under a mortgage or beneficiary under a deed of trust holding a lien encumbering the Demised Premises (as their respective interests shall appear) to be held and applied to the cost of restoring the Demised Premises, and Tenant shall have no interest therein, except that Tenant shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds payable for the destruction of Tenant's personal property (in no event, however, shall Tenant be entitled to insurance proceeds with respect to destruction of any improvements, betterments or fixtures on the Demised Premises). Tenant shall also deposit with Landlord the amount of any deductible required under any insurance policy covering fire or other casualty. If for any reason any portion of the cost to restore the Demised Premises is not covered by insurance, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any cost or expense that is not so covered. Such repair and restoration shall be performed by properly insured and licensed contractors, in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and shall comply with the requirements of this Lease and all applicable laws, codes and regulations. In the event Landlord is required to pay any portion of such restoration or repair costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, together with interest at twelve percent (12%) per year, within ten (10) days after receiving demand therefor from Landlord. Tenant shall in no case be entitled to compensation for damages on account of any annoyance or inconvenience in making repairs under any provision of this Lease. Neither the rent payable by Tenant nor any of Tenant's other obligations under any provisions of this Lease shall be affected by any damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof by any cause whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if such damage or destruction shall occur during the last two (2) years of the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to repair or restore the Demised Premises, provided that all insurance proceeds and deductibles required to be paid to Landlord above are paid to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all rent and all other sums due under this Lease for the remainder of the Term of this Lease,

 

c.           Tenant must Notify Landlord of Damage. If Tenant becomes aware of any casualty affecting the Demised Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing as to the details pertaining to such casualty (so far as known to Tenant) within forty-eight (48) hours after Tenant gains knowledge of such casualty.

17.      Expenditures by Landlord. Whenever under any provision of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to make any payment or expenditure, or to do any act or thing, or to incur any liability whatsoever, and Tenant fails, refuses or neglects to perform as herein required, Landlord shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to make any such payment or to do any such act or thing, or to incur any such liability, all on behalf of and at the cost and for the account of Tenant. In such event, the amount thereof with interest thereon at the rate of 12% per year or at the maximum rate per annum rate allowed by law, if lower than 12%, at the time and said sum shall constitute and be collectable as additional rent on demand.

 

18.      Default. Tenant's compliance with each and every covenant and obligation hereof on its part to be performed hereunder is a condition precedent to each and every covenant and obligation of Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided in this Section or elsewhere herein, in the event that:

 

a.             Tenant shall default in the payment or any sum of money required to be paid hereunder and such default continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or

 

b.             Tenant shall default in the performance of any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and such default continues for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the default complained of in such notice is of such a nature that the same can be rectified or cured, but cannot with reasonable diligence be done within said thirty (30) day period, then such default shall be deemed to be rectified or cured if Tenant shall, within said thirty (30) day period, commence to rectify and cure the same and shall thereafter complete such rectification and cure with all due diligence, and in any event, within sixty (60) days from the date of giving such notice;

or

 

c.             Tenant should vacate or abandon the Demised Premises during the Term of this Lease;

 

d.            There is filed any petition in bankruptcy or the Tenant is adjudicated as a bankrupt or insolvent, or there is appointed a receiver or trustee to take possession of Tenant or of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or there is a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any action is taken by or against Tenant under any state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy act, or any similar law now or hereafter in effect, including, without limitation, the filing of execution or attachment against Tenant and such levy continues in effect for a period of twenty (20) days.

 

e.             In the event of a default as designated in this Section or elsewhere herein, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity, Landlord, at its sole option, shall have the following rights:

 

(l)          The right to declare the Term of this Lease ended and to reenter the Demised Premises and lake possession thereof, and to terminate all of the rights of Tenant in and to the Demised Premises, or

 

 -15- 

 

 

(2)           The right without declaring the Term of this Lease ended, to reenter the Demised Premises and to occupy the same, or any portion thereof, for or on account of Tenant as hereinafter provided, applying any monies received first to the payment of such expenses as Landlord may have paid, assumed or incurred in recovering possession of the Demised Premises, including costs, expenses of attorney's fees in placing the same in good order and condition, or preparing or altering the same for reletting, and all other expenses, commissions and charges paid, assumed or incurred by Landlord in or in connection with reletting the Demised Premises and then to the fulfillment of the covenants of Tenant. Any such reletting as provided for herein may be for the remainder of the Term of this Lease or for a longer or shorter period. Such reletting shall be for such rent and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant to the terms hereof either in Landlord's own name or in the name of Tenant, or assume Tenant's interest in and to any existing subleases to any tenant of the Demised Premises, as Landlord may see fit, and Tenant shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any rent from such tenants, subtenants, licensees or concessionaires on the Demised Premises. In any case, and whether or not the Demised Premises or any part thereof be relet, Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such default and whether or not the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord and shall pay to Landlord monthly an amount equal to the amount due as rent hereunder, less the net proceeds for said month, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, after deducting all of Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorney's fees, expenses of employees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation for such reletting (all said costs are cumulative and shall be applied against proceeds of reletting until paid in full), or

 

(3)           The right, even though it may have relet all or any portion of the Demised Premises in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (2) of this section, to thereafter at any time elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default on the part of Tenant, and to terminate all of the rights of Tenant in and to the Demised Premises. Pursuant to said rights of reentry, Landlord may remove all persons from the Demised Premises and may, but shall not be obligated to, remove all property therefrom, and may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce any rights Landlord may have against said property or store the same in any public or private warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant or the owner or owners thereof. Tenant agrees to hold Landlord free, and harmless of any liability whatsoever for the removal and/or storage of any such property, whether of Tenant or any third party whomsoever. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the liability of Tenant to pay any rent or other sum of money thereafter to accrue hereunder, or Tenant's liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof, by any such reentry, or by any action in unlawful detainer or otherwise to obtain possession of the Demised Premises, unless Landlord shall have specifically, with reference to this Section, notified Tenant in writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that the service by Landlord pursuant to such notice shall not (unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time of, or at any time subsequent to, the service of such notice thereof to Tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this Lease or the termination of any liability of Tenant hereunder to Landlord.

 

 -16- 

 

 

f.             No Waiver, The waiver by Landlord of any default or breach of any of the provisions, covenants or conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed shall not be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision, covenant or condition contained herein. The subsequent acceptance of rent or any other payment hereunder by Tenant to Landlord shall not be construed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision, covenants or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental or other payment or portion thereof so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rental at other payment. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent herein provided shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent due and payable hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. This paragraph may not be waived.

 

19.       Quiet Possession. Tenant, upon paying the rentals and other payments herein required from Tenant, and upon Tenant's performance of all of the provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept and performed, may quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises during the Term of this Lease without any disturbance from Landlord or from any other person claiming through Landlord, however, Landlord and its agents shall have free access to the Demised Premises for the purpose of examining them and Tenant's compliance with this Lease and exhibit them to prospective purchasers and prospective tenants.

 

20.       Sale by Landlord, In the event of any sale or exchange of the Demised Premises by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is hereby relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease, arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to the Demised Premises occurring after the consummation of such sale or exchange. Tenant agrees to attorn to such purchaser or grantee.

 

21.      Default by Landlord. It is agreed that in the event Landlord fails or refuses to perform any of the provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Landlord's pari to be kept or performed, that Tenant, prior to exercising any right or remedy Tenant may have against Landlord on account of such default, shall give a twenty (20) day written notice to Landlord of such default, specifying in said notice the default with which Landlord is charged. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Tenant agrees that if the default complained of in the notice provided for by this Section is of such a nature that the same can be rectified or cured by Landlord, but cannot with reasonable diligence be reclined or cured within said twenty (20) day period, then such default shall be deemed to be rectified or cured if Landlord within said twenty (20) day period shall commence the rectification and curing thereof and shall continue thereafter with all due diligence to cause such rectification and curing to proceed and so does complete the same, with the use of diligence as aforesaid. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) the interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises; or (ii) the interest Landlord would have in the Demised Premises if the Demised Premises were encumbered by third party debt in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the value of the Demised Premises (as such value is determined by Landlord) and Tenant agrees to look solely to such amount for recovery of any judgment from Landlord, it being intended that Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency.

22.      Force Majeure. Whenever a day is appointed herein on which, or a period of time is appointed in which, either party hereto is required to do or complete any act, matter, or thing, the time for the doing or completion thereof shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days on or during which such party is prevented from, or is unreasonably interfered with, the doing or completion of such act, matter or things because of labor disputes, civil commotion, war, warlike operation, sabotage, governmental regulations or control, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain any materials, or to obtain fuel or energy, weather or other acts of God, or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control (financial inability excepted), provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of any rent or charge required of Tenant hereunder.

 

23.      Notices. Any and all notices and demands by or from Landlord to Tenant, or by or from Tenant to Landlord, required or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be validly given or made if served either personally or if deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered postage prepaid, return receipt requested.
