In the event any of Landlord’s policies insures premises or risks other than the Mixed-Use Center or the rents therefrom, the statement of the insurer shall be conclusive as to the portion of the total premium attributable to the Mixed-Use Center. Tenant agrees to pay any increase in the cost of Landlord’s insurance that is due to Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Leased Premises over the premium that would be payable if the Mixed-Use Center was occupied only by tenants engaged in general retail uses. Tenant shall pay the excess premium within ten (10) business days of Landlord notifying Tenant of the amount of such excess premium. If there is more than one tenant of the Mixed Use Center whose use is in a higher risk category, the excess premium shall be allocated equitably among those tenants.

Tenant agrees to carry, at its cost, insurance against fire and such other risks as are, from time to time, included in typical all-risk endorsements, insuring Tenant’s stock in trade, trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings, special equipment, floor and wall coverings, all Tenant improvements whether or not such are legally construed as fixtures and all other items of personal property of Tenant located on or within the Leased Premises, with such coverage to be in an amount equal to the replacement or repair cost thereof. Prior to the commencement of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate evidencing such coverage.

13. Rights Reserved to Landlord. Landlord, provided it does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, reserves the right: to erect, use and repair pipes, wires and conduits in and through the Leased Premises; to enter upon the Leased Premises for the purpose of inspection and to exhibit same for purpose of: (i) sale during the Term, or any extension thereof, (II) rental during the last ninety (90) days of the Term, or any extension thereof, or (iii) to re-let the Leased Premises as provided for in numbered Section 20 hereof; to enter upon the Leased Premises, to clean and make such repairs, alterations, decorations, improvements or additions as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the safety, preservation or improvement of the Mixed-Use Center, Property and/or the Leased Premises and Landlord shall have the right to take all materials into and upon the Leased Premises that may be required for such purposes without the same constituting a total or partial eviction of the Tenant and the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as applicable, shall not be abated while said repairs, alterations, decorations, improvements or additions are being made unless Tenant’s permitted Use of the Leased Premises, as set forth in numbered Section 1 hereto, is substantially inhibited. As to public space a/k/a Common Areas on the Property, Landlord shall have the further right to change the arrangement or location of the entrances or passageways, parking, and the doing of any or all said things shall not relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease provided said change is done in a reasonable time and manner, so long as any such change does not have a material adverse effect on Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or visibility of the Leased Premises.

14. Subordination to Mortgages. This Lease and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages, blanket or otherwise, and including any deed or deeds of trust, which do now or may hereafter affect the Property of which the Leased Premises form a part (and which may also affect other property) and to any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, provided that any such mortgage holder of a deed of trust or other lien holder shall recognize and accept Tenant as the tenant under this Lease so long as an Event of Default (as defined in numbered Section 20 hereto) has not occurred hereunder and provided that such holder provides to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement in commercially reasonable form. It ls the intention of the parties that this provision be self-operative and that no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this Lease. Tenant shall, however, upon demand, at any time or times, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, without expense to Landlord, any· and all instruments that may be necessary or proper to subordinate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder to any such mortgage or mortgages or to confirm or evidence said subordination. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, to attorn to the purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any such holder, any instrument which, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, may be necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure proceeding or otherwise to evidence such attornment. Subject to the applicable provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”}, Tenant further waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event any such foreclosure proceeding is brought.

In the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease by reason of a constructive or actual partial or total eviction or otherwise, Tenant shall not exercise any such right: (i) unless and until it shall have given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of any first mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, if the name and address of such holder shall previously have been furnished to Tenant; and (ii) unless and until a reasonable period of time for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, during which Landlord and the holder of such mortgage or either of them, their agents or employees, shall be entitled to enter the Leased Premises and do therein whatever may be necessary to remedy such act or omission. During the period between the giving of such notice and the remedying of such act or omission, the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as applicable, to be paid by Tenant under this Lease shall be abated and apportioned only to the extent that any part of the Leased Premises shall be un-tenantable.

15. Damage by Fire and Other Casualty. In the event fire or other casualty damages the Leased Premises, Landlord shall repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible. In the event the Leased Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty so as to be rendered un-tenantable for the conduct of Tenant’s Use of the Leased Premises, as set forth in numbered Section 1 hereto, and shall not be repaired by Landlord and put into tenantable condition within two hundred seventy (270) days from the time Tenant gives Landlord full and complete possession of the Leased Premises for the purpose of making such repairs, or if Landlord does not commence such repairs within sixty (60) days from the time Tenant gives Landlord full and complete possession of the Leased Premises for purposes of making such repairs, then in either case, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by a written notice at the end of said sixty (60) days or two hundred seventy (270) days, as the case may be, in which case the Base Rent and Additional Rent as shall be due from Tenant to Landlord up to the date of the casualty, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord. In case Landlord commences such repairs within sixty (60) days and the Leased Premises are restored and made tenantable within two hundred seventy (270) days, no right to terminate this Lease for such cause shall exist, but the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as applicable, shall abate for the period during which the Leased Premises were un tenantable and to the extent they were unused by Tenant. In the event the Leased Premises are partially damaged by fire or other casualty so as to be not rendered un- tenantable for the conduct of Tenant’s Use of the Leased Premises, as set forth in numbered Section 1 hereto, the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as applicable, shall abate on a pro-rata basis to the extent that the Leased Premises are tenantable.

16. Eminent Domain. If the Leased Premises shall be condemned and taken for any public or quasi-public use, this Lease shall wholly expire on the date title shall vest in the condemnor. Tenant shall not have any claim against Landlord by reason of any condemnation or taking of the whole or any part of the Leased Premises, the Mixed Use Center or any other building on the Property, or the Property itself, nor shall Tenant have any claim to the amount of any portion thereof that may be paid or awarded as compensation and damages or otherwise paid as a result of any condemnation and taking, except for the value at the time of such taking of any leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant. Except for any amounts paid for the value at the time of the taking of any leasehold interest of the Tenant, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all amounts awarded or paid by reason of any condemnation and taking. In the event of a partial appropriation of less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the parking lot for the Property, the Lease shall continue in effect but the rental shall be reduced in a reasonable amount to be agreed to by the Landlord and Tenant or the Landlord shall furnish the Tenant other like parking. If the appropriation is of twenty-five (25%) or more of the parking lot for the Property, Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease or of continuing same with a reduction in the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as applicable, in a reasonable amount as aforesaid.

17. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord hereby waives any and all right it may have to recover from Tenant or Tenant’s agents or invitees, damages for any loss occurring to property of Landlord by reason of any act or omission of Tenant; provided, however, that this waiver is limited to those losses for which Landlord is compensated by its insurers and then only to the extent that Landlord’s policies of insurance permit it to waive the insurer’s rights of subrogation. Tenant hereby waives any and all right that Tenant may have to recover from Landlord, or Landlord’s agents or invitees, damages for any loss occurring to property of Tenant by reason of any act or omission of Landlord; provided, however, that this waiver is limited to those losses for which Tenant is compensated by Tenant’s insurers, and then only to the extent that Tenant’s policies of insurance permit Tenant to waive the insurer’s rights of subrogation. Upon request either party furnish to the other certificates evidencing any provisions of such party’s insurance policy relating to such waiver and to deductible features thereof.

18. Modification of Leased Premises Required by Law. Tenant agrees that if Landlord, during the Term, shall be required by any applicable municipal authority, or by any order or decree of any court or of any other governmental authority, to repair, alter, remove, reconstruct or improve any part of the Leased Premises, the Mixed-Use Center and/or the Property and any other buildings located thereon, then, except to the extent such repair, alteration, removal, reconstruction, or improvements are made necessary by Tenant’s construction, use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, or by acts of Tenant, Tenant’s employees or invitees, such repair, alteration, removal, reconstruction or improvements may be made by and at the expense of Landlord and shall not in any way affect the obligations or covenants of Tenant herein contained, and Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages because of such work.

19. Risk of Loss for Property and/or Business. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all property of Tenant of any kind or description, whatsoever, kept in or on the Leased Premises, the Mixed-Use Center or the Property shall be done so at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damage done to or loss of such property, or damage or loss suffered by the business or occupation of Tenant arising from any acts, omissions or neglect of independent contractors, co-tenants or other occupants or persons in or on the Leased Premises, the Mixed-Use Center or the Property, or arising from the bursting, overflowing or leaking of water, sewer or steam pipes, or from the heating or plumbing fixtures or from electric wires, fire, theft, or from gas or odors, or caused in any other manner whatsoever not limited by the foregoing.

20. Events of Default. The following are “Events of Default”:

A. Tenant shall have failed to pay an installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent or any portion thereof or any other sum of money required to be paid by Tenant by the terms of this Lease when the same shall become due and payable hereunder, and such failure continues for five (5) days; or

B. Tenant shall be in default under any other provisions of this Lease and shall not have commenced to remedy or cure such default for a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord, by written notice, has informed Tenant of such default, or in the event Tenant has taken action to cure such default, but once such cure has commenced, falls to diligently prosecute the curing of the same; or

C. The Leased Premises, or any part thereof, shall have been abandoned; or

D. Bankruptcy Code Transfer. If a petition is filed by or against Tenant under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (or the conversion to a Chapter 11 or 13 proceeding from a proceeding that ls filed by or against Tenant under any other chapter of the Bankruptcy Code) and the Trustee elects to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning it or otherwise, the assumption or assignment, or both, may be made only if all of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth are satisfied. If a Trustee fails to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after his appointment, or within such additional time period as the Bankruptcy Court may allow, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected with such rejection constituting an Event of Default entitling Landlord to enforce all rights and remedies set forth ln this numbered Section 20. Assumption of this Lease must satisfy all of the conditions hereinafter set forth, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable,

If a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against Tenant, or a proceeding that is filed by or against Tenant under any other chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is converted to a Chapter 11 proceeding and Tenant as a debtor in possession fails to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of filing of the petition or the conversion, or within such additional time period as the Bankruptcy Court may allow, debtor in possession will be deemed to have rejected this Lease with such rejection constituting an Event of Default entitling Landlord to enforce all rights and remedies set forth in this numbered Section 20. Assumption of this Lease must satisfy, in Landlord’s business judgment, all of the following conditions that Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

(i) The Trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured or has provided to Landlord “adequate assurance”, as defined in this subsection that:

(a) The Trustee will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within ten (10) days from the date of the assumption; and

(b) The Trustee will cure all non-monetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of the assumption.

(ii) The Trustee or debtor-in-possession has compensated Landlord, or has provided to Landlord adequate assurance that within ten (10) days from the date of the assumption, Landlord will be compensated for any pecuniary loss it incurred arising from the default of Tenant, the Trustee, or the debtor-in-possession.

(iii) The Trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with adequate assurance of the future performance of each of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease; provided; however, that:

(a) The Trustee or debtor-in-possession will also deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent, an amount equal to three (3) months Base Rent accruing under this Lease.

(b) If required by the terms of this Lease, the Trustee or the debtor-in- possession will also pay in advance, on each day the Base Rent is payable, any Additional Rent that has accrued as of such date.

(iv) Landlord has determined that the assumption of this Lease will not:

(a) Breach any provision in any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Property, the Mixed-Use Center or any other buildings on the Property, as such terms may apply in the Lease; or

(b) Disrupt, in Landlord’s judgment, the tenant mix of the Property or any other attempt by Landlord to provide a specific variety of tenants on the Property that, in Landlord’s judgment, would be most beneficial to all of the tenants of the Property and would enhance the image, reputation and profitability of the Property.

(v) For purposes of this subsection, “adequate assurance” means that:

(a) The Trustee or the debtor-in-possession has, and will continue to have, sufficient assets to assure Landlord that the Trustee or the debtor-in- possession will have sufficient funds to fulfill Tenant’s obligations under the Lease and to keep the Leased Premises properly staffed with sufficient employees to conduct a fully operational, actively promoted business in the Leased Premises; and

(b) An order will have been entered segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord and/or a valid and perfected first lien and security interest will have been granted on the property of the estate that ls acceptable for value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of the Trustee or debtor-in-possession to cure the monetary or non-monetary defaults under this Lease within the time period set forth above.

(c) If the Trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed the Lease, under the terms set forth above, and elects to assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease or the estate created by that interest to another person, that interest or estate may be assigned only if Landlord acknowledges in writing that the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.

(vi) For the purpose of this Lease, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied;

(a) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, audited by a certified public accountant, that shows a net worth and working capital in amounts determined by Landlord to be sufficient or to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligation under this Lease.

(b) If requested by Landlord, the assignee will obtain guarantees in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, from one or more persons who satisfy Landlord’s standards of credit-worthiness.

(c) Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from any third party required under any lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound to permit the assignment.

(d) When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee or the debtor- in-possession is obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of all or a portion of the Leased Premises, the charges will be no less than the Base Rent and Additional Rent and other monetary obligations of the Tenant included herein as Base Rent and/or Additional Rent.

(e) That there will be no breach of any provisions of the Lease.

(f) That the assumption, transfer or assignment of the Lease will not financially disrupt or breach any other tenant lease or disrupt the balance of. the tenant mix on the Property or adjacent lands restricted in any way by the Landlord.

Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, immediately and without further notice or obligation to Tenant or Trustee under this Lease, enter into and take possession of the Leased Premises, and, in addition, terminate this Lease without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of Landlord, including, but not limited to, Landlord’s right to be compensated for damages in the bankruptcy proceeding that, if applicable, triggered the Event of Default. In the event of such repossession, Landlord may nevertheless recover from Tenant any Base Rent and Additional Rent up to the time of such entry, and such further sums, if any, as Landlord may be entitled to under the Bankruptcy Act, or other applicable laws then existing. Landlord shall also have the right and option in any such event to relet the Leased Premises for the account of Tenant without such reletting constituting a termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall be liable for any deficiency between the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as applicable, herein reserved and the proceeds realized by such reletting. Landlord shall have the further right, at Landlord’s option, to make such reasonable and necessary alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decoration in the Leased Premises as Landlord considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Leased Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform Tenant’s covenants herein contained: (i) an amount equal to all of Landlord’s expenses, if any, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in recovering possession of the Leased Premises and all reasonable costs and charges for the care of the Leased Premises while vacant; (11) the cost of any reasonable and necessary alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations made by Landlord for the purpose of reletting the Leased Premises; (iii) the cost of such reasonable expenses as Landlord may incur in connection with such reletting; and (iv) any deficiency between the Base Rent and Additional Rent, as applicable, hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of any lease of the Leased Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, or any extension thereof. The cost of making all reasonable and necessary alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations, and the expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting, together with interest thereon at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, shall be forthwith paid by Tenant upon demand by Landlord. The deficiency in Base Rent and Additional Rent, if any, shall be paid by Tenant on each rent day during the balance of the Term, or any extension thereof, that there is such a deficiency.

Nothing contained in this numbered Section 20 shall be construed so as to limit the right of Landlord to pursue any other remedies available to Landlord under the laws of the jurisdiction where the Leased Premises are located, or to prevent Landlord from pursuing such other remedies as it may have and/or from recovering such other remedies as it may have and/or from recovering such other or additional damages as it may be entitled to recover. The powers, rights and remedies of Landlord with respect to any breach or Event of Default are and shall be cumulative, and no failure or delay on the part of Landlord in the exercise of any power, right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any Event of Default nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power, right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

Landlord, without waiving or releasing any .obligation of Tenant upon an Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, including the failure by Tenant to maintain the public liability and property damage insurance in the amounts set forth in numbered Section 12 hereof naming Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, as additional insureds, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of Tenant, enter upon the Leased Premises and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

21. Surrender and Holding Over. Tenant shall deliver up and surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased Premises upon the expiration of the Lease, or its sooner termination in any way, in as good condition and repair as the same shall be at the commencement of the original Term (damage by fire and other perils covered by standard fire and extended coverage insurance and ordinary wear and decay excepted). It shall be the absolute obligation of Tenant to remove Tenant’s sign(s) from the exterior of the Leased Premises and to repair all damage resulting from the installation, existence and removal of such sign(s) including, but not limited to, the removal and/or repair, to Landlord’s complete satisfaction, of all holes created in the exterior of the Leased Premises as a result of all lines, conduits and fasteners used in connection with the installation, existence and/or removal of such sign(s). If such repair and/or removal or replacement is not completed within two (2) weeks after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord any and all necessary or required permission(s), consent(s), license(s), approval(s) and easement(s) in order for Landlord to remove the sign(s) and perform the necessary repairs and/or replacements, with the cost thereof subtracted from any security deposit, and if in excess of any security deposit, hold Tenant liable for payment or repayment of such costs.

It is the intention of the parties that Landlord, at the expiration of the Term, or any extension thereof, shall become the sole and absolute owner of the Leased Premises, free of any right, title, interest or estate of Tenant therein, without the execution of any further instruments and without payment of any money or other consideration thereof. Tenant shall, however, execute such further instruments of conveyance as may be requested by Landlord. Subject to numbered Sections 22 and 35 below, Landlord and Tenant mutually agree that all goods, effects, personal property, business and trade fixtures, machinery, mechanical equipment, electrical equipment and movable partitions owned or installed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense shall remain the personal property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall, ln removing any of such property, repair all damage caused by such removal.

No agreement to accept a surrender of the Leased Premises prior to the natural expiration of the Term, or any extension thereof, shall be valid and binding against Landlord unless such agreement shall be in writing and signed by Landlord. Should Tenant remain in possession of the Leased Premises after the termination of this Lease, no tenancy or interest in the Leased Premises shall result therefrom but, at Landlord’s option, such holding over shall be an unlawful detainer or a tenancy at sufferance on a month to month basis except that all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease applicable thereto, including, without limitation, those set forth ln this subsection shall apply, and all such parties shall be subject to immediate eviction and removal, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, a sum equal to double the Base Rent then in effect for any period during which Tenant shall hold the Leased Premises after the stipulated Term of this Lease may have terminated. No option to extend or renew the Lease shall have been deemed to occur as a result of Tenant’s holdover. In addition to the increased amounts (the sum equal to double the Base Rent) set forth herein, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs, losses, claims or liabilities (including legal fees) which Landlord may incur in dispossessing Tenant as a result of Tenant’s failure to surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord upon expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

No holding over by Tenant or payment of money by Tenant to Landlord after termination of this Lease in any manner, or after the giving of any notice by Landlord to Tenant, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term, or any extension thereof, of this Lease or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the payment of such money, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after the final judgment granting Landlord possession of said Leased Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any sums of Base Rent and Additional Rent due, and Landlord’s acceptance of such sums of money, whether as Base Rent, Additional Rent or otherwise, shall not waive such notice or in any manner affect any pending suit or any Judgment theretofore obtained.

22. Failure of Tenant to Remove Furnishings. If, upon the termination of this Lease in any manner, Tenant shall fall to remove all of Tenant’s furniture, chattels or trade fixtures from said Leased Premises or the Property, Landlord may, at its option, remove all the same in any manner that Landlord shall choose, and store said effects without liability to Tenant for loss thereof, and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand any and all expenses incurred ln such removal·, including court costs and storage charges on such effects for any length of time the same shall be in Landlord’s possession; and Landlord may, at its option, without notice sell such effects, or any of the same at either public or private sale and without legal process, for such price as Landlord may obtain and apply the proceeds of such sale upon any amounts due under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord and upon the expense incident to the removal, storage and sale of said effects and Tenant shall be liable for any deficiency. Tenant hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable power of attorney to execute a bill of sale for such effects which are sold by Landlord at public or private sale and without legal process, for such price as Landlord may obtain and apply the proceeds of such sale upon any amounts due under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord and upon the expense incident to the removal, storage and sale of said effects and Tenant shall be liable for any deficiency. Landlord shall have the right to bid on said effects and become a purchaser thereof at any such sale.

23. Liens. Tenant agrees that it will not cause or permit any mechanics’ or other liens or encumbrances to be placed on any portion of the Property, the Mixed-Use Center or the Leased Premises or to remain thereon by reason of any work, labor, services or materials claimed to have been performed at or furnished to the Leased Premises at Tenant’s request or for or on behalf of Tenant, or anyone holding the Leased Premises through or under Tenant for which Landlord is not obligated to pay under the terms hereof. If any such lien is placed on any portion of the Property, the Mixed-Use Center or the Leased Premises, Tenant shall forthwith cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, bond, and order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged upon demand, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same by paying the amount claimed to be due or by bonding or other proceeding deemed appropriate by Landlord, and the amount so paid by Landlord and/or all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fee incurred by Landlord in procuring the discharge of such lien, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent immediately due and payable hereunder. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as consent on part of Landlord to subject Landlord’s estate in the Property, Mixed-Use Center or the Leased Premises to any lien or liability under the laws of the State in which the Leased Premises ls located.

24. Alterations. Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, make any alterations or other improvements or installations to or upon the Leased Premises so long as such alteration, improvement or installation does not reduce the then value of the Leased Premises, but Tenant agrees not to make any structural repairs or structural or material alterations to or upon the Leased Premises (as further set forth in numbered Section 4 above) without, on each occasion, submitting to Landlord the plans and specifications for any proposed structural repairs or structural or material alterations and obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord covenants that it shall not unreasonably delay or withhold such consent. Tenant agrees that any such alterations, other improvements or installations made by it shall be done at its sole expense; in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all valid laws, ordinances and regulations of all public authorities having jurisdiction; that materials of good quality shall be employed therein; that once commenced, such alterations or improvement will be pursued with due diligence and completed within a reasonable time after commencement of construction; and that the structure of the Leased Premises will not be endangered or impaired thereby. Title to all such alterations or other improvements or installations, including Tenant’s Work, shall immediately vest in Landlord and all thereof shall be part of the Leased Premises. Tenant further agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses, including mechanics’ liens and attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected to such alterations, improvements or installations. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall have neither the right nor the obligation at the end of the Term, or any renewal term thereof, to remove, change or restore to their original condition any such alterations, improvements or installations.

25. Common Area Maintenance. Landlord grants to Tenant and Tenant’s customers and invitees the right to use, in common with all others to whom Landlord has or may hereafter grant rights to use the same, the Common Areas. The term “Common Areas” shall mean all areas in the Mixed-Use Center which are, from time to time, available for the joint use and benefit of Tenant and other tenants and occupants of the Mixed-Use Center, and their respective employees, agents, subtenants, concessionaires, licensees, customers, and other invitees, including, but not limited to, any and all parking areas, driveways, truck service ways, passageways, sidewalks, entrances, exits, lighting facilities, courts, landscaped areas, retention or detention areas, and utility lines serving such common areas and facilities.

Landlord hereby specifically reserves, by example but not by way of limitation, the following rights with respect to the Common Areas: (i) to establish reasonable rules and regulations for the use thereof; (ii) to use or permit the use by others to whom Landlord may grant or has granted such rights for promotional activities; (iii) to close all or any portion thereof as may be deemed necessary by Landlord’s legal counsel to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any rights to any person or the public therein; (iv) to change the layout of such Common Areas, including the right to reasonably add to or subtract from their shape and size, whether by the addition of additional land, building improvements or otherwise; (v) to grant or enter into cross easement agreements or deeds of declaration expanding the Property or granting owners of other property rights over the Property, which agreements may include, but not be limited to, certain parking, utility, access, ingress, egress and building provisions; and (vi) to modify or limit the above reservations in regard to any specific tenant in such tenant’s lease.

Tenant shall pay monthly to Landlord, in accordance with Landlord’s estimation as more fully described below, on the same date Base Rent is due, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Common Area Charge (as hereinafter defined) for its share of the Common Area Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) of the Property.

“Common Area Operating Expenses” as used herein shall be defined as all costs and expenses billed to Landlord for the operation, maintenance, replacement, repair and/or use of the common facilities of the Property and/or other related areas directly servicing the Common Areas, including, without limitation, snow and ice removal therefrom; the cost of grounds maintenance including, but not limited to, charges for maintaining plant materials, fertilizer, pesticides, grass mowing, pruning of plants, and planting of annual flowers; repairs to any signs identifying the Property or the Mixed-Use Center; cleaning, maintenance and repair to the private and/or public parking lots, drives and private and/or public sidewalks servicing the Property and/or the Mixed- Use Center including re-striping of parking spaces, patching of deteriorated pavement, and replacement of parking signs or directional signs; lighting; janitorial services and supplies including cleaning and trash removal; security; insurance costs; removal of trash, rubbish, garbage and other refuse from the Property and/or the Mixed-Use Center including the rental cost of dumpster units; common utilities which are not separately metered, including, but not limited to, water and sewer charges and charges for exterior landscaping irrigation systems, and utilities charges for the Common Areas; the cost of service contracts with independent contractors to maintain on a regular basis the plumbing systems outside rentable areas of each tenant; the cost to provide for pest control and exterminating services for the Common Areas; reasonable reserves for replacement and seasonal decorating and events; any property owner assessments; any special assessments; bookkeeping and accounting fees of Landlord; marketing expenses; water feature expenses; and a management fee of five percent (5%) of the total of all rents payable by tenants and other occupants within the Mixed-Use Center pursuant to any leases or other agreements.

Tenant’s Common Area Charge shall be determined by multiplying the Common Area Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord by the percentage or fraction obtained by dividing the square feet within the Leased Premises by the greater of: (i) the average square footage of floor space actually leased within all buildings within the Mixed-Use Center during any calendar year; or (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the total number square feet of leasable floor areas within all buildings within the Mixed-Use Center. In the event a specific tenant and/or tenants in the Mixed-Use Center ls/are wholly responsible under the terms of that tenant’s lease in regard to its individual [eased premises to maintain, repair and replace or provide for any of the specific items set forth iii this section, then such tenant or tenants’ leasable floor area shall not be included in the compu- tation used to calculate Tenant’s Common Area Charge in regard to the above specific item or iterns.

Tenant shall comply with all reasonable recommendations of Landlord’s insurance underwriters and insurance companies as to fire prevention and other items and shall comply with all such recommendations if non-compliance with such recommendations would or will result in an increase or escalation of the insurance rate(s) for the Leased Premises and/or adjoining and/or adjacent structures on the Mixed-Use Center.

Tenant’s Common Area Charge shall be paid in monthly installments, as Additional Rent, on the same day Base Rent is due, or would be due if Base Rent had not been prepaid, in an amount to be estimated by Landlord. Within one hundred eighty (180) days following the end of the period used by Landlord in estimating Landlord’s cost, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord’s Statement”) of the actual amount of Tenant’s proportion- ate share of such Common Area Charge for such period. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, or Landlord shall remit to Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between the estimated amounts paid by Tenant and the actual amount of Tenant’s Common Area Charge for such period as shown by such statement.

The books and records available to Landlord and showing all Common Area Operating Expenses shall also be open to inspection by Tenant, upon advanced, reasonable, written notice from Tenant, or its designated agents, during normal business hours for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant of the billing of such Common Area Operating Expenses.
