SECTION 6

SECTION 15

 

DEFAULT OF TENANT; REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

(a). the appointment of a receiver or trustee for Tenant in any court, which appointment is not vacated in thirty (30) days; or

 

(b) the adjudication of Tenant as bankrupt or insolvent; or

 

(c) the assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or

 

(d) the failure of Tenant to pay the Annual Rent or Additional Rent reserved hereunder with fifteen (15) days after notice thereof in writing; or

 

(e) the violation of any of the other terms, covenants, or conditions of this Lease by Tenant, which violation shall remain uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing, Landlord may, at its option, in any such event, cancel and annul this Lease, or Landlord may relet the Premises as the agent for Tenant for any unexpired balance of the Term and collect the Annual Rent and additional rent therefor, and in either event Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit, without further notice (all statutory notice requirements being hereby expressly waived), of all the provisions of law for the speedy recovery of lands and tenements as against a tenant holding over now in force or which may hereafter be enacted.  Landlord may distrain, by any legal means, for any overdue installment of Annual Rent or Additional Rent hereinabove provided for, and may enter the Premises for such purposes by force if necessary without liability (which liability is hereby expressly waived).  In the event of reletting by Landlord, as the agent of Tenant, the reletting shall be on such terms, covenants, conditions, and rent as Landlord may deem proper, and the proceeds that may be collected from the same, less the expense of reletting (including broker’s commissions and attorney’s fees) shall be applied against the rent to be paid by Tenant, and Tenant shall be liable for any balance that may be due under this Lease.  No such reletting shall operate as a termination of this Lease or as a waiver or postponement of any right of Landlord against Tenant without a specific declaration to such effect by Landlord.

 

Notwithstanding subsections (d) and (e) above, the Landlord shall provide The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. with written notice of Tenant’s default under subsections (d) and (e), simultaneous with the written notice to the Tenant and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., may, (but not be required to) cure the default within the applicable grace periods provided, after receipt of written notice.

SECTION 16

 

TENANT HOLDING OVER

 

If Tenant shall not immediately surrender possession of the Premises at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month upon all of the terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, provided Annual Rent shall be paid to and accepted by Landlord, in advance, at double the rate of Annual Rent payable hereunder just prior to the termination of this Lease; but unless and until Landlord shall accept such Annual Rent from Tenant, Landlord shall continue to be entitled to retake possession of the Premises without any prior notice whatsoever to Tenant.

 

SECTION 17

 

NEW BUILDING/RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

 

In 1997, Tenant improved the Property by building a 13,000 square foot building adjacent to the existing Building (the “New Building”). The New Building is a standalone building which is and continues to be owned by Sinclair. Landlord continues to own, and to lease to Tenant, the land on which the New Building was built. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a legal description of the New Building.

 

If, during the term of this Agreement, Landlord receives a bona fide offer for (i) the sale of all or substantially all of its assets; (ii) the sale of all or any of the assets associated with the Lease; (iii) the merger of a Party with another entity, after which Landlord is not the survivor; (iv) consolidation of Landlord with another entity, after which Landlord owners no longer control more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the consolidated entity; or (v) the sale by Landlord’s owners of more than fifty percent (50%) of the company, Landlord (the “First Refusal Offer”) shall provide promptly and without delay to Tenant a right of first refusal in accordance with this Section Seventeen. Before any such sale or transfer by Landlord, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a notice (the “First Refusal Notice”). The First Refusal Notice shall identify the asset or assets (or stock) proposed to be transferred by Landlord or its partners/members, the identity of the party to whom the assets are to be transferred (the “Third Party Acquirer”), the terms of such transfer and copies of all written agreements which Landlord has entered into, subject to the terms of this First Refusal Right, or which Landlord has indicated it will enter into if Tenant does not exercise its rights hereunder. Tenant, who shall receive the First Refusal Notice shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to exercise its rights to purchase the assets (or stock) according to the terms and conditions which Landlord (or its partners/members) has negotiated with the Third Party Acquirer. Tenant, upon receiving the First Refusal Notice may, at any time prior to the expiration of its rights under this Section Seventeen, including after receipt of the First Refusal Notice, transfer its rights of First Refusal to any third party upon the consent of the Party receiving the offer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, at the end of the thirty (30) day period, Tenant (or its assignee) has not exercised its right of first refusal, then Landlord or its stockholders may complete the proposed transaction with the Third Party Acquirer on the terms and conditions set forth in the First Refusal Notice; provided, however, if Landlord or its partners does not enter into a binding agreement with the Third Party Acquirer with respect to such transaction within sixty (60) days of the end of the thirty (30) day right of first refusal period, then Landlord or its partners shall no

 

8



 

longer be permitted to enter into such transaction without first complying again with the provisions of this Section.

 

If any of the property subject to the Lease is proposed for sale, and part of the property proposed for sale is the New Building, then Landlord, and/or its partners, hereby agrees that Tenant shall share in the profits of the sale of the New Building, and shall be allocated all money related to the New Building, which allocation shall be done within 30 days of the close of the sale of the property, if such property includes the New Building, by taking the average of two written appraisals given by two mutually agreed upon third party appraisers.

 

The parties agree that if the bank proposes devaluing the property because of the right of first refusal, the parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the issue to the satisfaction of each of the parties.

 

SECTION 18

 

WAIVER

 

Any waiver of any covenant or condition of this Lease shall extend to the particular case only, and only in the manner specified, and shall not be construed as applying to or in any way waiving any further or other rights hereunder.  The exercise of any of the options aforesaid shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover actual damages for any breach in an action at law, or to restrain any breach or threatened breach in equity or otherwise.  Acceptance of rent with knowledge of default shall not be a waiver of that default, and acceptance of partial payment shall not be deemed acceptance of the full amount owed nor prejudice Landlord’s right to recover the balance owed or to pursue any remedy available to it.

 

SECTION 19

 

NOTICES

 

Any Notice required or permitted by this Lease to be given by either party to the other may be either personally delivered or sent by telecopier, overnight mail, or certified mail, properly addressed and prepaid, to the addresses of the parties herein given, unless another address shall have been substituted for such address by Notice in writing.  Notices shall be deemed given the first business day following the date of so depositing or the date of personal delivery or the date of telecopying, provided that any Notice sent by telecopier shall be promptly sent by first class mail as well.
