Lessor’s Remedies In the event Lessee is in default pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 15.01 above, Lessor, during the continuation of such default, shall have the option of pursuing either of the following remedies:
(a) Lessor may terminate this Lease Agreement, in which event Lessee immediately shall surrender possession of the Demised Premises. All obligations of Lessee under the Lease Agreement, including Lessee’s obligation to pay rent under the Lease Agreement, shall cease upon the date of termination except for Lessee’s obligation to pay rent due and outstanding as of the date of termination.
(b) Lessor, without terminating the Lease Agreement, may require Lessee to remove all property from the Common Improvements within thirty (30) days so that Lessor may re-enter and relet the premises to minimize Lessor’s damages. In the event Lessee shall fail to remove all property within thirty (30) days after said demand, Lessor shall be entitled to remove Lessee’s property to a storage facility, and all reasonable costs of such removal and storage shall be deemed additional rent under the Lease Agreement for which Lessee is responsible for payment. Lessor may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease Agreement, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder, provided that Lessor shall have an affirmative obligation to use Lessor’s best efforts to re-let the Common Improvements and to mitigate its damages under the Lease Agreement.
(c) If this Lease Agreement is terminated as set forth, Lessor may relet the Common Improvements (or any portion thereof) for such rent and upon such terms as Lessor is able to obtain (which may be for lower or higher rent, and for a shorter or longer term), and Lessee shall be liable for all damages sustained by Lessor, including but not limited to any deficiency in Rent for the duration of the Lease Term (or for the period of time which would have remained in the Lease Term in the absence of any termination, leasing fees, attorneys’ fees, other marketing and collection costs and all expenses of placing the Common Improvements in first class rentable condition).
(d) Nothing contained herein diminishes any right Lessor may have under South Carolina law to ▇▇▇ Lessee for damages in the event of any default by Lessee under this Lease Agreement, or from pursuing any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.
Default by Lessee The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Lessee under this Agreement (each such event of default is hereinafter referred to as an "Event of Default"):
A. Lessee shall fail to timely pay any monthly rental payment as referenced in paragraph 3 above or any other sum of money due hereunder and such failure shall continue for a period of ten days;
B. Lessee shall fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement not requiring the payment of money, all of which provisions shall be deemed material, and such failure shall continue for a period of twenty days after written notice of such default is delivered to Lessee;
C. Lessee shall become insolvent or fail to pay its debts as they become due or Lessee notifies Lessor that it anticipates either condition;
D. Lessee takes any action to file a petition under any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof or a petition shall be filed against Lessee under any such statute or Lessee or may creditor of Lessee notifies Lessor that it knows such a petition will be filed or Lessee notifies Lessor that it expects such a petition to be filed; or
E. A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Lessee's leasehold interest in the Premises or for all or a substantial part of Lessee's assets. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor may at its option and without further notice to Lessee, and in addition to all other remedies given hereunder or by law or in equity, do any one or more of the following: (A) terminate this Agreement, in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor; (B) enter upon the Premises and expel or remove Lessee and/or Lessee's Equipment therefrom, with or without having terminated this Agreement; and (C) change or re-key all locks to entrances to the Site and Lessor shall have no obligation to give Lessee notice thereof or to provide Lessee with a new key to the Site. The exercise by Lessor of any one or more remedies hereunder shall not constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that a surrender of the Premises can be effected only by a written agreement between Lessor and Lessee. If Lessor terminates this Agreement by reason of an Event of Default, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of (A) the cost of recovering the Premises; (B) the unpaid monthly payments and all other indebtedness accrued hereunder to the term of such termination; (C) to the extent the same were not paid, the cost of repairing, altering or otherwise putting the Premises into a condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants (if Lessor elects to so relet) (collectively, the "Reletting Expenses"); (D) all expenses incurred by Lesser in enforcing Lessor's remedies, including attorneys' fees and court costs; (B) the total monthly payments and other benefits which Lessor would have received under this Agreement for the remainder of the term, minus any net sums thereafter received by Lessor through reletting the Premises during such period; and (F) any other damages or relief which Lessor may be entitled to at law or in equity. Lessee shall not be entitled to any excess rent obtained by Lessor reletting the Premises. If Lessor repossesses the Premises without terminating this Agreement by reason of an Event of Default, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of (A) the cost of recovering the Premises; (B) the unpaid monthly payments and all other indebtedness accrued hereunder to the date of such repossession; (C) the Reletting Expenses; (D) all expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing Lessor's remedies, including attorneys' fees and court costs; (B) the total monthly payments and other benefits which Lessor would have received under this Agreement for the remainder of the term, minus any net sums thereafter received by Lessor through reletting the Premises during such period; and (F) any other damages or relief which Lessor may be entitled to at law or in equity. Re-entry by Lessor will not affect the obligations of Lessee for the unexpired term of this Agreement. Lessee shall not be entitled to any excess rent obtained by Lessor reletting the Premises, Actions to collect amounts due by Lessee may be brought on one or more occasions without the necessity of Lesson's waiting until the expiration of the term of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement or repossession of the Premises due to an Event of Default, Lessor shall not be obligated to relet or attempt to relet the Premises or any portion thereof or to collect rent after reletting, but Lessor shall have the option to relet the whole or any portion of the Premises for any period to any tenant and for any use and purpose.
Landlord’s Remedies (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 15.1, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, subject to the rights of Franchisor or Tenant Lender under the provisions of Section 15.3 and Section 20.2:
(i) To terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession of the Premises by giving notice of such election to Tenant, in which event (A) Tenant shall immediately surrender possession thereof to Landlord, failing which Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other occupant(s) thereof in accordance with applicable law ("Reentry"), and (B) Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or hereunder;
(ii) To terminate Tenant's right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice of such election to Tenant, in which event (A) Tenant shall immediately surrender possession thereof to Landlord, failing which Landlord may exercise the right of Reentry, and (B) Landlord shall have the right to occupy the Premises for and on account of Tenant and to collect any unpaid rentals and other charges which have or may thereafter become due and payable;
(iii) To exercise the rights described in clause (ii) above and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of Tenant's rights in or to the Premises by giving notice of such election to Tenant; or
(iv) To exercise any other right or remedy now or hereafter existing by law or in equity.
(b) If Landlord reenters the Premises under subsection (a)(ii) above, such reentry or any action, in unlawful detainer or otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises shall not be deemed to be an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, or Tenant's liability to pay rent or other charges thereafter accruing, or Tenant's liability for damages under any provisions hereof, unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by written notice to that effect given to Tenant. Tenant covenants that the service by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the State in which the Premises is located and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not be deemed to be a. termination of this Lease, unless Landlord elects to the contrary by written notice to that effect given to Tenant at the time of or after the service of any such statutory notice. If Landlord reenters or takes possession of the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right, subject to the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 16.2, to remove therefrom all or any part of the personal property located therein and may dispose of or place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to remove and/or dispose of any such personal property.
(c) If Landlord elects to reenter the Premises under subsection (a)(ii) above and takes possession of the Premises, Landlord may, but except to the extent required by applicable law or court order, shall not be obligated to, relet the Premises for a term, rate and upon such other provisions as Landlord deems appropriate. If Landlord so reenters and takes possession of the Premises, Landlord may decorate, repair and alter the Premises to the extent Landlord deems appropriate for purposes of such reletting. If Landlord is unable to so relet the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly on the first day of each month during the period that Tenant's right to possession is terminated, a sum equal to the Rent due under this Lease for that month. If the Premises are relet, Landlord shall apply the rents therefrom first to payment of Landlord's expenses incurred by reason of Tenant's default, second, to payment of Landlord's expenses of reletting, including without limitation, brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, and third, to payment of Rent due from Tenant under this Lease. All sums expended and concessions granted to any new tenant shall be amortized on a straight -line basis over the term of the ne'vY lease and Tenant's liability therefor shall be limited to that portion attributable to the unexpired term of this Lease. If the sums received from such reletting are insufficient to satisfy the payment of Rent due from Tenant under this Lease for any month, Tenant shall remain liable for the deficiency. If the sums received from such reletting exceed the Rent otherwise due from Tenant for any month, Tenant shall have no rights thereto except that such excess amounts shall be applied against Rent subsequently due under this Lease. No such reletting by Landlord shall be considered to be (A) for Landlord's own account unless and until Landlord notifies Tenant that this Lease has been terminated, and (B) an acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises unless and until Landlord so notifies Tenant
(d) In the event of any termination of this Lease or repossession of any of the Premises after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to and including the date of such termination or repossession and, thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such termination or repossession, and whether or not any of the Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for and shall pay to Landlord as liquidated and agreed current damages:
(i) Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination or repossession, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Section 15.2(c), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such re letting (including without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs,. brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, costs of Alteration and expenses of preparation for reletting). Tenant hereby agrees to be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired had there been no such Event of Default.
(e) At any time after such termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 15.2(a)(i) or pursuant to law, whether or not Landlord shall have recovered any amounts under Section 15.2(c) or 15.2(d), Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default, (i) the amount by which the Base Rent and all Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term demised herein as if the Lease had not expired or been terminated exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, discounted to present worth at the prime rate (as defined in Section 24.6), minus any such monthly deficiencies previously recovered from Tenant for such unexpired portion of the Term demised herein under Section 15.2(c), plus (ii) all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default under this Lease and the exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder.
(f) If any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in which such liquidated final damages provided for in Section 15.2(e) are to be proved shall validly limit the amount thereof to an amount less than the amount above agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law.
(g) Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Landlord in this Lease 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 contained in this Lease. No delay or failure by Landlord or Tenant to enforce its rights under this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. Tenant waives any rights of redemption granted by any laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the terms of this Lease.
