Landlord and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy obtained by them to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with any damage covered by the policy. If any insurance policy cannot be obtained with a waiver of subrogation, or is obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above the premium charged by insurance companies issuing policies without a waiver of subrogation, the party undertaking to obtain the insurance shall notify the other party of this fact. The other party shall have a period of ten (10) days after receiving such notice either to place the insurance with a company that is reasonably satisfactory to the notifying party and that will carry the insurance with a waiver of subrogation, or to agree to pay one -half of the additional premium if such a policy is obtainable at additional cost. If the insurance cannot be obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired refuses to pay one -half of an additional premium charged, each party is relieved of the obligation to obtain a waiver of subrogation with respect to the particular insurance involved. 17. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign, convey, mortgage, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest in this Lease, or sublet all or any part of the Premises, or suffer or permit all or any part of the Premises to be used by others (any and all of which shall be referred to as a "Transfer"), at any time during the Initial Term or the Option Term of this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign or sublease this Lease to such operator chosen by Tenant to manage the day care facility. 18. Utilities. Tenant acknowledges that access to and the supply of all necessary utilities is sufficient and satisfactory on the Premises as of the date of execution of this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay all charges for water, sewage disposal, gas, electricity, light, heat, power, telephone or other utility services used, consumed in or supplied to the Premises. For all separately metered utilities, Tenant shall timely pay for such utilities directly to the supplier of such utilities, and for utilities that are not {00135240/ 1) . I I separately metered, Tenant shall promptly pay for such utilities upon receipt of an invoice from Landlord based upon the ratio of the square footage of the Premises to the total square footage of the Gypsum Center (excluding Common Areas) adjusted as reasonable necessary to equitably account for the intensity of Tenant's utility usage. 19. End of Term. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or on the date specified in any demand for possession by Landlord after any material default by Tenant as provided in Section 23 of this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord, in the same condition as when Tenant first occupied the Premises, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and subject to any Damage and those improvements Tenant is to surrender pursuant to Section 9 of this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible and liable to Landlord for all costs and expenses of Landlord, including without limitation Landlord's reasonable administrative costs and reasonable attomey's fees expended in addressing any issue, incurred or expended by Landlord in returning the Premises to the condition such Premises was in at the beginning of this Lease, subject to the above exceptions. Tenant certifies that Tenant has inspected the Premises, and that as of the Effective Date the Premises is in excellent condition and free from damage or defect of any kind or character, other than latent defects of which Tenant is not aware on the Effective Date, except as noted on a writing signed by both Tenant and Landlord and affixed to this Lease on or before the Effective Date. 20. Holding Over. If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease or after the Option Temi of this Lease (if applicable) without a written agreement providing otherwise, Tenant shall be deemed to be a tenant from month to month, subject to all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Rent for each month shall be equal to One Hundred Fifty Percent (150 %) of the monthly installment of Rent due and payable during the last month prior to the expiration of the applicable term of this Lease. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to give Tenant the right to hold over at any time, and Landlord may exercise any and all remedies at law or in equity to recover possession of the Premises, as well as any actual, reasonable or legally obtainable damages incurred by Landlord, due to Tenant's failure to vacate the Premises and deliver possession to Landlord as provided in this Lease. 21. Subordination and Attomment. a. Subordination to Other Matters. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all mortgages or deeds of trust on or applicable to the Premises and/or the Gypsum Center as of the Effective Date or at any time thereafter, and all applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws, ordinances, codes, orders, rules and regulations, permits and certificates of occupancy, and to all covenants, conditions, declarations, encroachments, restrictions, reservations, rights, rights -of -way and easements and all conditions, renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof (except to the extent any such things expressly provide that they are subordinate to this Lease), now or hereafter affecting or placed, charged or enforced against all or any portion of the Premises or the Gypsum Center or any interest of Landlord in the Premises or the Gypsum Center or Landlord's interest in this Lease and the leasehold estate created by it. Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, the Gypsum Center is free and dear of mortgages and deeds of trust. (00135240/1) b. Automatic Effect. The foregoing subordination is self- operative, and no further instrument of subordination and/or attomment will be necessary unless required by Landlord, in which case, Tenant, within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord, will execute and deliver without charge any commercially reasonable documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord in order to confirm the subordination and/or attomment set forth above in this Lease. c. Estoppel Letter(s). Within ten (10) days of the time of any request by Landlord, Tenant promises and agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord a commercially reasonable estoppel letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord in which Tenant shall state true and correct information with respect to, among other things, the Rent due or to become due, the status of this Lease and Tenant's obligations under this Lease and other matters reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant's failure to timely and fully comply with this paragraph within five(5) days after Tenant's receipt of a notice from Landlord of its failure to deliver such estoppel shall constitute a material default of this Lease. 22. Rules and Regulations. Tenant and all of Tenant's officers, directors, managers, staff, and employees shall abide by any and all reasonable and consistently applied rules and regulations, of which Tenant has notice, made by the Landlord from time to time governing the use, safety, cleanliness and care of the Premises and the Gypsum Center. Any new rules and regulations shall be effective upon ten (10) days advance written notice of the same to Tenant from Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and understands that Tenant may be liable in fines or other reasonable sanctions as provided in the Rules and Regulations for violations of such Rules and Regulations by Tenant or any of Tenant's officers, directors, managers, staff, and employees; provided however, if such violation is subject to a cure, Tenant shall be permitted to effect a cure, prior to the imposition of such fine or sanction. 23. Default. The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following events or circumstances, at the option of Landlord, shall constitute a default under this Lease by Tenant: a. Failure to Timely Make Payment. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent as required by Paragraph 3.a.iii above in this Lease, or fails to pay any late fee or interest on a delinquent payment as provided for in Paragraph 3.a.iii of this Lease as and when required by Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to be in material default of this Lease. Further, if Tenant fails to timely pay any other sum required to be paid pursuant to this Lease, and such failure continues beyond five (5) days after written demand from Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to be in material default of this Lease. b. Failure in Performance. If Tenant fails or neglects to perform or observe any of Tenant's non - monetary obligations, undertakings, promises, responsibilities or covenants under this Lease and Tenant's failure or neglect continues beyond fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of written demand from Landlord (or within a reasonable time if such remedy or cure cannot reasonably be accomplished with immediate, diligent, persistent and continuous performance by Tenant within such fifteen day period), Tenant shall be deemed to be in material default of this Lease. {00135240 / 1} 24. Landlord's Remedies. If Tenant is in material default of this Lease, Landlord shall have all remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including without limitation the following: a. Termination. Landlord shall have the right to immediately terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice to Tenant of its election to do so. If Landlord gives a written notice of termination, this Lease and the Initial Term and/or Option Term, as applicable, as well as all right, title and interest of Tenant under this Lease to quiet possession, to a leasehold interest in property or to physical possession of the Premises shall wholly cease and expire in the same manner and with the same force and effect on the date specified in the written notice as if such date were the expiration date of the Initial Term and/or the Option Term, as applicable, of this Lease without the necessity of re -entry or any other act on Landlord's part. Upon any termination of this Lease Tenant shall immediately quit the Premises and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease under this paragraph, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (1) The worth at the time of the award by a court of competent jurisdiction (the "Award "), of the unpaid Rent and any other unpaid financial obligation of Tenant under this Lease which had been earned at the date of such termination; plus, (ii) The worth at the time of the Award by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the date of such termination exceeds the amount by which Tenant proves that Landlord failed to mitigate its damages; plus, (iii) Any other reasonable amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder, (iv) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by applicable state law from time to time; and (v) Landlord shall be obligated, in the event of a Tenant Default, to take all reasonable steps to mitigate its damages as a result of such Tenant Default. As used in subparagraph (1) above, the "worth at the time of the Award" is computed by adding to any Rent or other financical obligation any late fees due or owing in accordance with the terms of this Lease and by calculating interest on such Rent or other financial obligation at the rate specified in this lease for such delinquent Rent or other financial obligation, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. As used in subparagraph (ii) above, the "worth at the time of the Award" is computed by discounting the total such amount to present value at the rate of 10% per annum. b. Termination of Right of Possession. Landlord shall also have the right to terminate Tenant's right of possession by any lawful means, to re -enter the Premises by legal means and remove all property and persons therefrom, and any such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant. {00135240 / 1) c. No Termination. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may take possession of the premises by any lawful means without terminating the Lease in which case Landlord may recover all Rent and other damages against Tenant as such damages accrue. d. Payment on Account of Tenant. If Tenant defaults in making any payment required to be made by Tenant (other than payments of Rent), or if Tenant defaults in the performance of any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including without limitation the requirement that Tenant obtain and carry insurance during the Initial Term and/or Option Term (as applicable) of this Lease, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or expend such sum on behalf of Tenant as may be necessary to perform such obligation. Tenant shall promptly reimburse any amount expended by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph, and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a material default of this Lease. No such payment or expenditure by Landlord shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant's default, nor shall it affect any other remedy of Landlord by reason of such default. e. Injunction and Specific Performance. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by either party of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, the non-breaching party shall, in addition to all other remedies available pursuant to this Lease or available at law or in equity, also have the right of injunction and specific performance. The party in breach shall pay the premium for any bond required in connection with any injunction. f. Default Interest. If Tenant is in default as provided in this Lease of any payment to Landlord other than the payment of Rent covered in Paragraph 3.a.iii above, the unpaid amount of such payment shall accrue interest at the rate of twelve percent (12 %) per annum from and after the date of default until paid in full. g. Attomevs' Fees and Litigation. In the event of any legal proceeding arising under or related to this Lease in any way, the prevailing party shall receive an award of its reasonable costs, reasonable expensed and reasonable attorneys' fees (including legal assistants' fees and including all costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred or expended in collecting on any judgment) from the non - prevailing party. 25. No Implied Surrender or Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress or pursue a remedy for violation, breach or default of this Lease, or any term, promise, covenant or undertaking contained in this Lease, or to insist upon the strict performance of any term, promise, covenant or undertaking contained in this Lease or of any of the Rules and Regulations adopted by Landlord, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. Waiver of a breach or default under this Lease shall not be implied by prior conduct or course of conduct of the parties. Waiver e shall only be effective if done specifically in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver. The receipt and retention by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of any breach or default of or under this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. 26. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in or under this Lease. 27. Entire Agreement.
