          4. Use of Leased Premises; Quiet Enjoyment .

               (a) Tenant may occupy and use the Leased Premises for any commercial purpose (except for any noxious or manufacturing use and uses prohibited by the Condominium Declaration) and for any ancillary uses incidental thereto and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit any of the Leased Premises to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be done in or on any of the Leased Premises, in a manner which would or might (i) violate any Law, Legal Requirement or Permitted Encumbrance, (ii) make void or voidable or cause any insurer to cancel any insurance required by this Lease, or make it impossible to obtain any such insurance at commercially reasonable rates, (iii) cause structural injury to any of the Improvements or (iv) constitute a public or private nuisance or waste.

     5.  Term .

               (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, Tenant shall have and hold the Leased Premises for an initial term (the " Initial Term ") (such Initial Term, as extended or renewed in accordance with the provisions hereof, being called the " Term ") commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the two hundred fortieth (240 th ) month following the Commencement Date. Within three (3) days of the Commencement Date occurring, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an addendum to this Lease confirming the Commencement Date and the months in which each Basic Rent Payment Date occurs, provided, however, that the failure of either party to execute such an addendum shall not alter that date upon which the Commencement Date or any Basic Rent Payment Date occurs.

               (b) Provided that if, on or prior to the Expiration Date or any other Renewal Date (as hereinafter defined) this Lease shall not have been terminated pursuant to any provision hereof, then on the Expiration Date and on the fifth (5 th ), tenth (10 th ) and fifteenth (15 th ) anniversaries of the Expiration Date (the Expiration Date and each such anniversary being referred to herein as a " Renewal Date "), the Term shall be deemed to have been automatically extended for an additional period of five (5) years (each such extension, a " Renewal Term "), unless Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least twelve (12) months prior to the next

-10-

 

 

Renewal Date that Tenant is terminating this Lease as of the next Renewal Date. Any such extension of the Term shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified (except that, in the case of the third Renewal Term, Tenant shall not have the right to any additional Renewal Terms).

               (c) If Tenant exercises its option pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) not to have the Term automatically extended, then Landlord shall have the right during the remainder of the Term then in effect and, in any event, Landlord shall have the right during the last year of the Term, to show any of the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants or their agents during normal business hours upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice to Tenant and in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business or operations.

          6. Basic Rent .

               (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) as annual basic rent for the Leased Premises during the Term, the amounts determined in accordance with Paragraph I of Exhibit "D" hereto (" Basic Rent "), payable quarterly in advance for the next three full calendar months and commencing on the twenty-fifth day of each October, January April and July during the Term (each such day being a " Basic Rent Payment Date") and (ii) as annual additional basic rent for the Leased Premises during the Term, the "Additional Basic Rent" determined in accordance with Paragraph II of Exhibit "D" payable annually within ninety (90) days of end of each Fiscal Year of Tenant with respect to each Fiscal Year (each such day being an " Additional Basic Rent Payment Date "). Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Basic Rent with respect to any period during the Term shall expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. By way of clarification, if an Additional Basic Rent Payment Date occurs after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound to pay to Landlord such payment of Additional Basic Rent with respect to the portion of the applicable Fiscal Year occurring during the Term on such Additional Basic Rent Payment Date notwithstanding that this Lease has expired or been terminated. Each such rental payment shall be made to Landlord in Federal Funds on each Basic Rent Payment Date or Additional Basic Rent Payment Date, as applicable, pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered to Tenant from time to time and/or to such one or more other Persons, pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered to Tenant from time to time at such addresses and in such proportions as Landlord may direct by fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Tenant (in which event Tenant shall give Landlord notice of each such payment concurrent with the making thereof).

               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing, Basic Rent for the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending ninety (90) days thereafter shall abate in full and not be due and payable hereunder, and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Additional Basic Rent with respect to any Gross Sales with respect to such period. Pro rata Basic Rent for the period commencing on the date the above referenced rent abatement expires until the last day of the month in which the first full Basic Rent Payment Date occurs, shall be paid on the first full Basic Rent Payment Date. By way of example, if the Commencement Date is July 26, 2006, the foregoing abatement shall expire on October 23, 2006 and on October 25, 2006 Tenant shall pay to Landlord a regular installment of Basic Rent for the next three calendar months plus pro rata Basic Rent from October 24, 2006 through and including October 31, 2006.

                    (iii) a sum equal to any late charge in excess of the amount payable under clause (ii) above for that portion of the Basic Rent paid to the Lender as scheduled installments of principal and interest, any default interest in excess of amounts payable under clause (iv) below for that portion of the Basic Rent paid to the Lender as scheduled installments of principal and interest, and fees of Lender’s counsel, which are payable by Landlord to any Lender under any Note by reason of Tenant’s late payment or non-payment of Basic Rent or by reason of an Event of Default; and

All Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall constitute " rent " for all purposes (including Section 502(b)(6) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code).

               (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant shall have no right and hereby waives all rights which it may have under any Law (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or any of the Leased Premises, or (ii) to any Set-Off of any Monetary Obligations.

Landlord shall reasonably determine the amount of the Escrow Charges (it being agreed that if required by a Lender, such amount shall equal any corresponding escrow installments required to be paid by Landlord) and the amount of each Escrow Payment. Escrow Charges for real estate taxes and assessments and insurance premiums may be commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons and no interest thereon shall be due or payable to Tenant.

Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s Property, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the applicable Related Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides
