TENANT agrees that, in the event of any such assignment, subletting, licensing or granting of a concession the TENANT shall nevertheless remain liable for the performance of all terms, covenants, and conditions of this lease. | ||
| 20. | SUBORDINATION | |
| This Lease shall be subject to and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage and/or deeds of trust and all land leases now or hereafter made on any portion of the demised Premises, and to all advances thereunder, provided the mortgagee or trustee named in said mortgage or deed of trust shall agree to recognize this Lease Agreement and agrees, in the event of foreclosure, not to disturb the TENANT’s possession hereunder, provided TENANT has not committed any event of default as to which the applicable cure period has not expired under the Lease Agreement. This subordination shall be self-operative and no further intrusions of subordination shall be required. | ||
| 21. | ATTORNMENT | |
| If any proceedings are commenced to foreclose any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises, TENANT agrees to attorn the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, if required to do so by any such purchasers, and to recognize such purchaser as the LANDLORD under this lease, provided purchaser shall agree that TENANT’s rights hereunder shall not be disturbed so long as TENANT has not committed any event of default as to which the applicable cure period has not expired. | ||
| 22. | CONDEMNATION |
| (a) | If the whole of the demised Premises shall be taken by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority under the power of condemnation, eminent domain or expropriation, or in the event of conveyance in lieu thereof, the Lease shall terminate as of the day possession shall be taken by the governmental authority and the entire award shall be the property of the LANDLORD, except for the value of any improvements, alterations or addition made to the premises at TENANT’s sole cost and expense, including but not limited to, fixtures or equipment installed by TENANT. TENANT shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by TENANT’s business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which TENANT might be |
PAGE 5
| incur for moving expenses, including but not limited to TENANT’s fixtures, equipment and furnishings. | |||
| (b) | In the event there is any taking by governmental or quasi-governmental authority of a portion of the demised Premises, or the building of which the premises form a part of the common area appurtenant thereto, which does not seriously and adversely affect the ability of the TENANT to conduct to its business on the premises, the lease shall remain in full force and effect and TENANT’s rent shall be abated in proportion to the diminution in value of the premises. | ||
| (c) | In the event of any such taking or conveyance of the Premises or the Building of which the Premises form a part or the common areas appurtenant thereto, or any portion thereof which shall render the Premises wholly unfit for the occupancy of TENANT or the uses contemplated hereunder in TENANT’s reasonable business judgement, TENANT may terminate this lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to LANDLORD. | ||
| (d) | In the event of any such taking or conveyance of the demised Premises, or the building of which the Premises form a part of the common area appurtenant thereto, or any portion thereof, TENANT shall pay rent to the day when possession thereof shall be taken by the governmental authority with an appropriate refund by LANDLORD of such rent as may have been paid in advance for a period subsequent to such date. If this Lease shall continue in effect as to any portion of the demised Premises not so taken or conveyed, the rent shall be reduced to an amount computed according to the floor space remaining. If this Lease shall continue, LANDLORD, at its expense, but only to the extent of any equitable proportion of the award or to other compensation for the portion taken or conveyed of the improved portion of the Premises and consequential damages to the remainder hereof not taken (excluding any award or other compensation for the land), shall make all necessary repair or alterations so as to constitute the remaining demised premises a complete architectural and tenantable unit. In the the event that LANDLORD’s repairs and alterations to the premises, or to the building of which the Premises form a part, or to the common area appurtenant thereto, do not restore the Premises to a condition fit for the occupancy of or for the uses contemplated hereunder in TENANT’s reasonable business judgement, TENANT may terminate this lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to LANDLORD. | ||
| (e) | TENANT shall be entitled to such award as may be given to it by the condemning authority for the value of its fixtures and equipment (if separate awards are given) or if only one award is given by the condemning authority for all interests, said award shall be apportioned between the parties as their respective interest shall appear. In the event LANDLORD and TENANT are unable to agree as to the amount of rental reduction which may be required under sub-paragraphs b and c, above, or the apportionment of any award made by the condemning authority, such matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. |
| 25. | EVENTS OF DEFAULT | |
| The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default hereunder: |
PAGE 6
| (a) | Failure of TENANT to pay installment of rent hereunder within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice, or within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice any other sum herein required to be paid by TENANT. | ||
| (b) | TENANT’s failure to perform any other covenant or condition of this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice and demand, unless the failure is of such a character as to require more than thirty (30) days to cure in which event TENANT’s failure to proceed diligently to cure such failure shall constitute an event of default. |
24. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES
| Upon the occurrence of any event of default, LANDLORD may, at LANDLORD’s sole option, exercise any or all of the following remedies, together with any such other remedies as may be available to LANDLORD at law or in equity; |

LANDLORD may then re-enter upon the leased premises either with or without due process of law and remove all persons therefrom, the statutory notice to quit or any other notice to quit being hereby expressly waived by TENANT. TENANT expressly agrees that the exercise by LANDLORD of the right of re-entry shall not be a bar to or prejudice in any the other legal remedies available to LANDLORD. In that event, LANDLORD shall be entitled to recover from TENANT as and for liquidated damages an amount equal to the rent and additional rent reserved in this Lease less any and all amounts received by LANDLORD from the rental of the premises to another tenant. Any recovery by the LANDLORD shall be limited to the rent hereunder (plus any costs incurred in re-letting) less any rent actually paid by the new tenant. | ||
| (b) | No termination of this lease nor any taking or recovery of possession of the demised premises shall deprive LANDLORD of any of his remedies or actions against TENANT for past or future rent, nor shall the bringing of any action for rent or breach of covenant, or the resort to any other remedy herein provided for the recovery of rent, be construed as a waiver of the right to obtain possession of the premises. | ||
| (c) | In addition to any damages becoming due under subparagraph (a) hereof, LANDLORD shall be entitled to recovery from TENANT and TENANT shall pay to LANDLORD an amount equal to all expenses, if any, incurred by the LANDLORD in recovering possession of the demised premises, and all reasonable costs and charges for the care of said premises while vacant, which damages shall be due and payable by TENANT to LANDLORD at such time or times as such expenses are incurred by the LANDLORD. | ||
| (d) | In the event of a default or threatened default by TENANT or any of the terms or conditions of this Lease, LANDLORD shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed by law or in equity as if no specific remedies of LANDLORD were set forth in this Lease. |
PAGE 7
| (e) | It is further provided that if, under the provisions of this lease, default be made and a compromise and settlement shall be had thereupon, it shall not constitute a waiver of any covenant herein contained, nor of the Lease itself, and it is hereby specifically agreed that this Lease shall not merge in any judgement had upon the same if compromise or settlement be made upon said judgement prior to termination of TENANT’s possession, the lease in such event to continue by the payment of rent herein reserved, and the further performance of the covenants herein contained on the part of TENANT. |
