15
Draft Lease Agreement
pursuant to the terms of the RFP. The Security Deposit shall be in the form of cash or its
equivalent which funds may be commingled by Lessor with its other funds. No interest shall be
paid on the Security Deposit. For so long as the Security Deposit has not been repaid by Lessor,
it shall constitute an account payable by Lessor to Lessee within thirty (30) days following
termination of this Lease to the extent, if any, that the Security Deposit has not been applied by
Lessor as hereunder provided.
If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to any covenant duty, or obligation of
Lessee under this Lease, then the Security Deposit or any part thereof may be applied by Lessor,
at Lessor's sole discretion, to the damages sustained by Lessor by reason of any such Event of
Default or to indebtedness owing by reason of any failure of Lessee to make any required
monetary payment under this Lease. No such application shall be construed as an agreement to
limit the amount of Lessor's claim or as a waiver of any damage or release of any indebtedness,
and any claims of Lessor under this Lease not recovered in full from the Security Deposit shall
remain in full force and effect. In no way shall the security deposit serve as liquidated damages
for any event of default; rather, Lessor may apply the security deposit amount to damages
sustained by Lessee's default and continue to request any additional amount owed.
Further, at any time or times when Lessor has made any such application of all or any
part of the Security Deposit, Lessor shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time
thereafter to request in writing that Lessee pay to Lessor a sum or sums equal to the amounts so
applied by Lessor so that Lessor will always be in possession of a sum equal to the amount of the
Security Deposit stated above. Lessee shall make each such requested remittance within thirty
(30) days following such request from Lessor and each such remittance received by Lessor shall
thereupon constitute a part of the Security Deposit subject to the terms and provisions thereof.
Failure to make any such requested remittance within such thirty (30) day period may be treated
by Lessor as a failure by Lessee to make timely payment of rent and as an Event of Default.
The Security Deposit shall be retained by the Lessor throughout the entire term of this
Lease and, if not utilized by Lessor, will be returned less interest, and less allowable deductions,
credits or setoffs by Lessor, within thirty (30) days following the surrender of the Leased Area at

SUBLEASES, ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS
10.1 Subleases, Assignments and Transfers
Lessee shall not, at any time during the Lease Term, enter into (i) any sublease, license,
concession, easement, or permit agreement with respect to the Premises or (ii) sublease, assign or
transfer this Lease to any third party or parties, which has the effect of granting exclusive
possession to the Premises and assigning the rent and other obligations set forth in this Lease to
any third party or parties (collectively "Transfer"), without first procuring the prior written
consent of the City. The provisions of this Article constitute the sole means by which Lessee
may request Lessor's consent to a Transfer.
In recognition of the fact that this Lease was awarded to Lessee following a competitive
procurement relying on Lessee's unique attributes, any Transfer of this Lease to any third party
or parties (except as otherwise permitted under this Article X) shall require the prior written
approval of the City, which may grant, deny, refuse or consent to such Transfer, in the City's
sole discretion, based on reasonable commercial factors including the credit worthiness,
solvency, reputation, ability and experience of such proposed transferee. If approved, any such
transferee shall be required to sign a written agreement assuming all terms and conditions of the
Lease, without exception in a form satisfactory to the Lessor. Any such attempted Transfer of
the Lease, without the Lessor's prior written consent, shall be void and of no force or effect and
shall not confer any interest or estate in the purported Transfer and will additionally be a. default
by Lessee of this Lease.
It is agreed that all terms and conditions of this Lease shall extend to and be binding on
all transferees, assignees or Sub -lessees as may be approved by Lessor and shall be for a period
of time equal to or less than the Lease Term. Lessor reserves the right to directly terminate the
rights and interests of any transferee or Sub -lessee under any Transfer for any cause for which
Lessee's Leasehold Interest may be terminated. Lessee shall reimburse to Lessor, as Additional
Rent, all costs and expenses, including third party attorneys' fees, which Lessor reasonably
incurs by reason of or in connection with a Transfer, and all negotiations and actions with respect
thereto, such Additional Rent to be due and payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of a
statement of such costs and expenses from Lessor.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, should Lessee desire to Transfer the Lease,
Lessee shall, in each instance, give written notice of its intention to do so to Lessor's City
Manager at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such proposed Transfer,
specifying in such notice the nature of such proposed Transfer and the proposed date thereof and
specifically identifying the proposed Sub -lessee, Assignee or transferee. Such notice shall be
accompanied by a copy of the proposed Transfer agreement and any other documents or
financial information Lessor may reasonably require in order to determine the suitability of the
Sub -lessee, Assignee or transferee. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall provide to Lessor copies
of all Transfer documents and amendments thereto. Lessor shall either (i) withhold consent to
the Transfer, together with a detailed explanation for such denial, or (ii) consent to such Transfer
upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in this Article, by mailing written
27
Draft Lease Agreement
notice to Lessee of its intent to do so. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the imposition of the
conditions provided herein requiring Lessor's consent is reasonable.
10.3 Additional Consideration Payable to Lessor
If Lessor gives its consent to any Transfer, Lessor shall be entitled to any proceeds from
any such Transfer, with the Lessor's participation capped at a maximum of four percent (4%) of
gross proceeds from the sale if the Lease is assigned or otherwise transferred or sold within
Lease Years one (1) through five (5); and five percent (5%) if transferred after Lease Year five
(5) ("Transfer Fee"). Lessee shall, in consideration of any Transfer, include in Lessee's Gross
Revenues the amount of Sub -Lessee's, Assignee's or transferee's Gross Revenues which shall be
listed separately on Lessee's Annual Report. Assignee's or transferee's records shall be kept in
accordance with Article IV. Additionally, Lessor reserves the right to examine transferee's
books and audit transferee's entire records in accordance with Article IV of this Lease.
The Transfer fee shall be perpetual and shall apply to any successive Transfer procured
by the terms of this Lease for as long as this Lease is active, including modifications and
extensions, if any. The acceptance by Lessor of the payment of rent following any Transfer
prohibited by this Article shall not be deemed to be consent by Lessor to any such Assignment or
Transfer, nor shall the same be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy of Lessor hereunder.
10.4 Definitions
As used in this Article, the term:
"Transfer" means:
1. any total or partial sale, or assignment of Lessee's business or Leasehold
Estate or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, including by

agreement, etc.
2. any transfer of more than forty-nine percent {49%) of the stock of
Lessee or of the stock of any Owner, other than an Owner whose shares

3. any merger, consolidation or sale or lease of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Lessee or of any Owner, other than an owner whose shares

clause (i) is listed for trading purposes on a securities exchange subject
to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Securities & Exchange Commission
(or its successor) or is publicly traded over the counter.
10.5 Acceptable Transfers
The Lessee recognizes that the operational experience of the Lessee as set forth in the
proposal was given special consideration by the Lessor in the public selection process
undertaken by the Lessor for the award of this Lease. Therefore, Lessee agrees that except as
permitted pursuant to this Article X of this Lease, no Transfer may be made, suffered or created
by the Lessee, or any Owner without the prior written consent of the City Manager, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The following Transfers shall be
permitted hereunder without the written approval of the City Manager:

and that such purchaser or grantee within six (6) months after taking possession of the
Premises, shall have entered into an agreement for the management and operation of
the Premises with an Acceptable Operator or is itself an Acceptable Operator;
(b) the issuance of stock or stock options to Lessee's directors, officers, or employees,
provided the stock or stock options issued constitute, in the aggregate, less than
fifteen percent (15%) of the issued and outstanding stock of Lessee;
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the "going public" by Lessee, including, but not Iimited to, the filing of a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the creation of one
or more classes of stock and the offering of shares of stock to the public for purchase, shall not
constitute a Transfer hereunder and shall not require the consent of the Lessor.
Any consent to a Transfer shall not waive or abridge any of the Lessor's rights to consent
to a subsequent Transfer. Any Transfer made in violation of the terms hereof shall be null and
void and of no force and effect. Any transferee must be an institutional investor (as provided
above) or an Acceptable Operator in each such instance.
10.6 Notice of Transfer
With respect to any Transfer which must be approved by the City Manager, the Lessee
shall give or eause to be given to the Lessor written notice (including all information necessary

Transfer pursuant to the terms hereof, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor in writing of same

required by this Lease, the City Manager shall use due diligence to present the request for

determined or indicated by the records of Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
information required by this Section shall not be required to be furnished with respect to the
shareholders of any Owner whose shares are publicly traded. As used in this section, the term
"material" shall mean ownership of not less than a ten (10%) percent interest in Lessee.

(1) all Rents, taxes, assessments, impositions, insurance, permitting and other charges
required to be paid by the Lessee under this Lease shall be paid by the Lessee up to the date of

performance of all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease.

option, may require Lessee or Owner transferring such interest to remain liable under this Lease

Lease. If a Transferee does meet the criteria set forth in this Article, Lessee shall be released
from any and all remaining liability and/or obligations set forth in this Lease from the effective
date of such Assignment or Transfer, but shall remain liable and responsible as provided by this
Agreement and applicable laws for performance of duties including, without limitation, payment
of rent prior to the effective date of such transfer.
10.11 Acceptance of Rent from Transferee
31
Draft Lease Agreement
The acceptance by Lessor of the payment of Rent following any Transfer prohibited by
this Article shall not be deemed to be a consent by Lessor to any such Transfer, nor shall the
same be deemed to be a waiver of any right or remedy of Lessor hereunder.
10.12 Transfers of the Lessor's Interest
At the Lessee's request, Lessor shall provide the Lessee copies of any and all agreements
or contracts pertaining to the total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, mortgage, trust or
power, or other transfer in any mode or form of or with respect to the Lessor's reversionary or
fee interest in the Premises, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or any contract or
agreement to do any of the same, to any purchaser, assignee, mortgagee, or trustee. Lessor
hereby agrees to incorporate the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease or in any agreement
or contract with such purchaser, assignee, mortgagee, or trustee.
10.13 Mortgages of Leasehold Interest
10.13.1 Right to Mortgage. All rights of Lessee pursuant to this Lease are mortgageable,
pledgeable, assignable or transferable, in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
Any successor to, or assignee of, the rights of Lessee hereunder (whether as the
result of voluntary assignment, foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise) shall hold or be entitled to exercise the rights of Lessee hereunder as
fully as if named as such party herein. No party exercising rights as Lessee
hereunder shall have or incur any liability for the acts of any other party which
previously exercised or subsequently shall exercise such rights. In no way shall
Lessee have any authority to mortgage the ownership interest belonging to Lessor.
10.13.2 Requirements for Mortgage. In addition to the requirements specified

mortgage the Leasehold Estate with the written permission of the City Manager,
the permission for which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Lessor shall also send a copy of such notice to any holder of a Leasehold
Mortgage, provided such holder or its mortgagor shall have sent Lessor a notice
informing it of the existence of such Leasehold Mortgage and the name of the
person or officer and the address to which copies of the notices of defaults are to
be sent (each a "Mortgagee"). Such Mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30)
days to cure any default that is capable of being cured with the payment of
money, and an additional thirty (30) days for all other defaults (and such
additional time, as to non -monetary defaults, as the Mortgagee in good faith and
with reasonable diligence either attempts to cure such default or commences and
thereafter prosecutes with reasonable diligence, if not enjoined or stayed,
appropriate proceedings for foreclosure or other enforcement of the liens securing
its financing). Initiation of foreclosure proceedings against Lessee shall constitute
"diligence" by a Mortgagee hereunder so long as such foreclosure proceedings are
continuously pursued and all rent and additional rent is being paid to Lessor by
Lessee or Mortgagee during the pendency of any foreclosure proceeding. The
32
Draft Lease Agreement
foregoing requirements to give notice of default to a Mortgagee and allow such
Mortgagee an opportunity to cure such default shall not delay the exercise of self-
help remedies by Lessor in the event of an emergency.
10.13.4 Rights of Mortgagees. Once Lessor has received a notice as specified in the
preceding section, then, from and after receipt of such notice:
(1) No voluntary termination by Lessee of this Lease shall be effective unless
consented to in writing by such Mortgagee; and any material amendment or
material modification of this Lease or the exercise by Lessee of any option to
terminate this Lease without the written consent of such Mortgagee shall be
voidable as against such Mortgagee at its option. If any Mortgagee shall fail to
respond to any written consent under this section within thirty (30) days after the
receipt by such Mortgagee of such written request (which written request shall
make specific reference to this section), the Mortgagee shall be deemed to have
denied its consent to such request. No notice required to be given to Lessee by
Lessor shall be effective as to such Mortgagee unless and until a copy thereof has
been given to such Mortgagee.
(2) Lessor shall accept performance of any and all of Lessee's obligations hereunder,
including the obligations to pay rent, from any such Mortgagee and the
performance of such obligation by such Mortgagee shall be deemed to have been
a cure effected by Lessee. Lessor hereby consents to the entry onto the Premises
by any such Mortgagee for the purpose of effecting the cure of any default by
Lessee, In the event of a default by Lessee hereunder, any Mortgagee may affect
the cure of such default by foreclosing its Mortgage, obtaining possession of the
Premises and performing all of Lessee's obligations hereunder.
If it shall be necessary for any such Mortgagee to obtain possession of the
Premises to effect any such cure of a default by Lessee under this Lease, then
Lessor shall not commence any proceeding or action to terminate the Lease Term
if (a) such Mortgagee shall have informed Lessor within the grace period
applicable to such Mortgagee that such Mortgagee has taken steps to foreclose its
Leasehold Mortgage, to obtain possession of the Premises, (b) the rent and all
monetary obligations of Lessee shall be paid and all other provisions and
requirements of this Lease which are capable of being observed and performed
without obtaining possession of the Premises are so observed and performed
while any such foreclosure, other action or other remedy is being prosecuted by
any such Mortgagee and for so long thereafter as such Mortgagee shall have
obtained possession of the Premises, and (c) such Mortgagee shall be diligently
prosecuting such foreclosure or cancellation and attempting to effect a cure of the
default. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Mortgagee to
continue with any foreclosure or other proceedings, or, in the event such
Mortgagee shall otherwise acquire possession of the Premises, to continue such
possession, if the default in respect to which Lessor shall have given the notice
shall be remedied.
(3)
(4) Lessor agrees that in the event of the termination of this Lease by reason of any
33
Draft Lease Agreement
(5)
default by Lessee or rejection of this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding effecting
Lessee, and if Lessor has prior to such termination been given written notice of
the name and address of such Mortgagee, Lessor will enter into a new agreement
for the Premises with any Mortgagee or a wholly owned subsidiary of Mortgagee
for the remainder of the Lease Term, effective as of the date of such termination,
at the rent and upon the terms, options, provisions, covenants and agreements as
herein contained, provided:
i. Such Mortgagee shall make written request upon Lessor for such new
agreement prior to or within ten (10) days after the date of such
termination and such written request is accompanied by payment to Lessor
of all sums then due to Lessor hereunder;
ii. Such Mortgagee or its nominee shall pay to Lessor at the time of the
execution and delivery of said new lease any and all sums which would at
that time be due hereunder but for such termination; and
iii. That in the event there exists more than one Mortgagee, the first
Mortgagee shall have the first option to become Lessee under the
provisions of this section, with priority over the second Mortgagee.
No Mortgagee shall become liable under the agreements, terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease unless and until it becomes the owner of the estate held
by Lessee.
All of the provisions contained in this Lease with respect to Leasehold Mortgage and the
rights of Mortgagees shall survive the termination of this Lease for such period of time as shall
be necessary to effectuate the rights granted to all Mortgagees by the provisions of this Lease.
Nothing herein contained shall require any Mortgagee or its nominee to cure any default
by Lessee hereunder, unless Mortgagee accepts assignment and assumption; however this shall
not preclude the City from seeking a judicial remedy for any such losses or breaches of the Lease
in a manner consistent with the terms of this Lease.

based on the remaining term of the Lease and any option periods without consideration of the
termination of the Lease as provided in this Section), shall be separately determined and
computed by the court having jurisdiction and separate awards and judgments with respect to
damages to Lessor and Lessee, respectively, and to each of their respective interests, shall be
made and entered.
14.2 Partial Condemnation
In the event less than all of the Premises shall be taken for any public use or purpose by
the right or the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or shall be conveyed by the Lessor and
Lessee acting jointly to avoid proceedings of such taking, and Lessee shall be of the good faith
opinion that it is economically feasible to effect restoration thereof, then this Lease and all the
covenants, conditions and provisions hereunder shall be and remain in full force and effect as to
the Premises not so taken or conveyed. Lessee shall to the extent the proceeds of the Gross
Condemnation Award are made available to it, pursuant to the terms hereof, remodel, repair and
restore the remaining portion of the Premises so that it shall be comparable to the Premises prior
to the condemnation; provided, however, that in so doing, Lessee shall not be required to expend
more than the amount of any Gross Condemnation Award actually received by Lessee.

(d) The Lessor and Lessee shall be paid portions of the balance of the Gross

14.3 Adjustment of Rent Upon Partial Taking
In the event a part of the Premises shall be taken for any public use or purpose by the
exercise of the power of eminent domain, or shall be conveyed by Lessor and Lessee acting
jointly to avoid proceedings of such taking, then Rent pursuant to this Lease shall be paid by
Lessee to the Date of Taking or conveyance in lieu thereof, and after such date the Base Rent for
the remainder of the Lease Term shall be reduced on an equitable basis and Percentage Rent
shall continue at the same rate.
14.4 Deposit of Condemnation Award with Escrow Agent
Unless the effect of a condemnation proceeding shall be to terminate this Lease by
operation of law or as provided in Section 14.2 above, any Gross Condemnation Award made in
respect to the Premises in a condemnation proceeding shall be deposited with an escrow agent
selected by the Lessor to be disbursed for the cost of restoring the Premises.
14.5 Temporary Taking
In the event that all or any portion of the Premises shall be taken by the right of
condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain for governmental use or
occupancy for a temporary period, this Lease shall not terminate and Lessee shall continue to
perform and observe all of its obligations (including the obligation to pay Rent as provided
throughout this Lease) as though the temporary taking had not occurred except only to the extent
that it may be prevented from so doing by the terms of the order of the authority which make the
temporary taking or by the conditions resulting from the taking, including the loss of its
possession of all or any part of the Premises. If the period of governmental occupancy extends

Term. The amount of any Gross Condemnation Award payable to Lessee, on account of a
39
Draft Lease Agreement
temporary taking of all or any part of the Leasehold Improvements, shall be deemed a part of the
Lessee's Leasehold Estate for all purposes in this Lease. If the Gross Condemnation Award does
not separately determine the amount applicable to the taking of the interest of the Lessor in this
Lease and in the Leasehold Improvements and if Lessor and Lessee shall not agree in writing as
to the proportion of the award so applicable to the respective Parties, then Lessor and Lessee
shall submit the matter to the court on stipulation for the purpose of a judgment determinative of
the interest of the Parties in accordance with the terms of this sub -section.

16.2 Remedies of Lessor
If any Lessee Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right after the expiration of the
applicable cure period, and at the sole discretion of Lessor, to terminate this Lease upon
providing five (5) days written notice. An Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred at
the expiration of such five (5) day period if the default has not been cured by the expiration of
such five (5) day period. Lessor may terminate the Lease irrespective of any suit or action
brought by Lessee and the time period required for termination of this Lease shall not be tolled
by the filing of a suit or action.
Additionally, if any Event of Default occurs, Lessor may, at its option, from time to time,
without terminating this Lease, re-enter and re -let the Premises, or any part thereof, as the agent
and for the account of Lessee upon such terms and conditions as Lessor may deem advisable or
satisfactory, in which event the rents received on such re -letting shall be applied first to the
expenses of such re -letting and collection including but not limited to, necessary renovation and
alterations of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, any real estate commissions paid, and
thereafter toward payment of all sums due or to become due to Lessor hereunder, and if a
sufficient sum shall not be thus realized or secured to pay such sums and other charges, at
Lessor's option, Lessee shall pay Lessor any deficiency immediately upon demand therefore,
notwithstanding that Lessor may have received periodic rental in excess of the periodic rental
stipulated in this Lease in previous or subsequent rental periods, and Lessor may bring an action
therefore as such deficiency shall arise. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to require
Lessor to re-enter and re -let the Premises in any event. Lessor shall not, in any event, be
required to pay Lessee any surplus of any sums received by Lessor on a re -letting of said
Premises in excess of the rent provided in this Lease.
42
Draft Lease Agreement
If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right to obtain injunctive and
declaratory relief, temporary and/or permanent, against Lessee for any acts, conduct or omissions
of Lessee, and to further obtain specific performance of any term, covenant or condition of this

the Premises.
If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right, at its option, to declare all
Rent (or any portion thereof) for the entire remaining Lease Term, and other indebtedness owing
by Lessee to Lessor, if any, immediately due and payable without regard to whether possession
of the Premises shall have been surrendered to or taken by Lessor, and may commence action
immediately thereupon and recover judgment therefore.
If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor, in addition to other rights and remedies it may
have, shall have the right to remove all or any part of Lessee's personal property from the
Premises and any personal property removed may be stored in any public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Lessee, and Lessor shall not be responsible for
the care or safekeeping thereof whether in transport, storage or otherwise, and Lessee hereby
waives any and all claim against Lessor for loss, destruction and/or damage or injury which may
be occasioned by any of the aforesaid acts.
No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an
election on Lessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given
to Lessee. Notwithstanding any such re -letting without termination, Lessor may at all times
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default. Any such re-entry shall be
allowed by Lessee without hindrance, and Lessor shall not be liable in damages for any such re-
entry, or guilty of trespass or forcible entry.
It is expressly agreed that the forbearance on the part of Lessor in the institution of any
suit or entry of judgment for any part of the Rent herein reserved to Lessor, shall not serve as a
defense against nor prejudice a subsequent action for such Rent. Lessee hereby expressly waives
Lessee's right to claim a merger or waiver of such subsequent action in any previous suit or in
the judgment entered therein. Furthermore, it is expressly agreed that claims for liquidated Base
Rent and/or Percentage Rent may be regarded by Lessor, if it so elects, as separate and
independent claims capable of being separately assigned.
Any and all rights, remedies and options given in this Lease to Lessor shall be cumulative
and in addition to and without waiver of, or in derogation of, any right or remedy given to it
under any laws now or hereafter in effect.
16.3 No Waiver by Lessor
The waiver (either expressed or implied by law) by Lessor of any default of any term,
condition or covenant herein contained shall not be a waiver of any subsequent default of the
same term or any other term, condition or covenant herein contained. The consent or approval
by Lessor to or of any act by Lessee requiring Lessor's consent or approval shall not be deemed
to waive or render unnecessary Lessor's consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by
Lessee. No re-entry hereunder shall bar the recovery of rents or damages for the default or delay
on the part of Lessor to enforce any right hereunder and shall not be deemed a waiver of any
43
Draft Lease Agreement
preceding default by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, or a waiver of the
right of Lessor to annul this Lease or to re-enter the Premises or to re -let same.
16.4 Late Payment Fee
Any installment of Rent not received within five (5) days after the due date shall be
subject to a late payment fee. Lessee shall pay, in addition to the payment then due, five percent
(5%) of the amount due ("Late Fee"), and in the event that any check, bank draft, order for
payment, or negotiable instrument given to Lessor for any payment under Lease shall be
dishonored for any reason whatsoever not attributable to Lessor, Lessor, in addition to the five
(5%) percent Late Fee, shall be entitled to make an administrative charge to Lessee of One
Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($100.00), or the actual charge, to Lessor by Lessor's bank for
dealing with such dishonored tender, whichever is greater. In the event that it shall be necessary
for Lessor to give more than one (1) written notice to Lessee of any violation of this Lease,
during the term hereof, Lessor shall be entitled to make an administrative charge to Lessee of
Twenty-five and 0/100 Dollars ($25.00) for each such subsequent notice after the first notice.
Lessee recognizes and agrees that the charges Lessor is entitled to make upon the conditions
stated in this section represent, at the time this Lease is made, a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs of Lessor in the administration of the Premises resulting from the events described
herein, which costs are not contemplated or included in any Rent or other charges provided to be
paid by Lessee to Lessor in this Lease. Any charges becoming due under this Section of this
Lease shall be added to and become due with the late payment for which the charge was
assessed, and shall be collectible as a part thereof.
16.5 Additional Guarantees
In the event that Lessee defaults in accordance with the terms of this Article, or otherwise
fails to perform any obligation required by this Lease, which directly or indirectly causes Lessor
to suffer damages, and thereafter Lessee fails to cure or remedy the respective default in
accordance to the terms of this Lease, Lessee's parent company, if any, and Lessee's President
shall assume responsibility as a personal guarantors (collectively "Guarantor"), and shall pay the
amounts due or perform the obligation required, as applicable. Guarantor may, at Lessor's
option, be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lessor against Lessee in connection
with and based upon the failure of Lessee to perform.
16.6 Remedies Cumulative
No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Lessor or the Lessee shall be considered
exclusive of any other remedy, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given under this Lease or existing at law or in equity or by statute; and every power and
remedy given by this Lease to the Lessor or the Lessee may be exercised from time to time and
as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor or the Lessee. No
delay or omission of Lessor or Lessee to exercise any right or power arising from any default
shall impair any right or power, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any default or any
acquiescence in it.
44

such default shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice to Lessor, and Lessor

employees, agents or affiliates shall be relevant or admissible to supplement, explain or vary any
of the terms of this Lease. Acceptance of, or acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered

otherwise provided, no subsequent alteration, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding
upon Lessor or Lessee unless reduced to writing and signed by the Parties. Any amendments to
this Lease must be approved with the same formalities as were used in its execution; providing,

negotiated "at arm's length" by and between Lessor and Lessee, each having the opportunity to
be represented by legal counsel of its choice and to negotiate the form and substance of this
