If the rent is still unpaid at the end of fifteen (15) days, LESSEE shall pay an additional five percent (5%) [being a total often percent (10%)]. Acceptance of late charges and any portion of the late payment by CITY shall in no event constitute a waiver of LESSEE default with respect to late payment, nor prevent CITY from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted in this lease. SECTION 4: ASSIGNMENT 4.01 Time is of the Essence: Provisions Binding on Successors. Time is of the essence for all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease and, except as otherwise provided herein, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease shall apply to, benefit and bind the successors and assigns of the respective parties, jointly and individually. 4.02 Assignment and Subletting. LESSEE shall not assign this lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person, except employees, agents and guests of LESSEE, to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent by the City Manager in each instance. Such consent by the City Manager shall not be unreasonably withheld. A consent to assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Any such assignment or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of CITY, terminate this lease. This lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable, as to the interest of LESSEE, by operation of law, without the written consent of the City Manager. "Assignment", for the purposes of this clause shall include any transfer of any ownership interest in this lease by LESSEE or by any partners, principals, or stockholders, as the case may be, from the original LESSEE, its general partners or principals. Approval of any assignment or sublease shall be conditioned upon the assignee or sublessee agreeing in writing that it will assume the rights and obligations thereby assigned or subleased and that it will keep and perform all covenants, conditions and provisions of this agreement which are applicable to the rights acquired. 4.03 Defaults and Remedies. a. Default. In the event that: (1) LESSEE shall default in the performance of any covenant or condition required by this lease to be performed by LESSEE and shall fail to cure said default within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof from CITY; or if any such default is not curable within thirty (30) days, shall fail to commence to cure the default(s) within said thirty-day period and diligently pursue such cure to completion; or (2) LESSEE shall voluntarily file or have involuntarily filed against it any petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or law; or (3) LESSEE shall be adjudicated a bankrupt; or (4) LESSEE shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; b. Abandonment by LESSEE. Even though LESSEE has breached the lease and abandoned the property, this lease shall continue in effect for so long as CITY does not terminate this lease, and CITY may enforce all its rights and remedies hereunder, including but not limited to the right to recover the rent as it becomes due, plus damages. c. Waiver. Any CITY waiver of a default is not a waiver of any other default. Any waiver of a default must be in writing and be executed by the City Manager in order to constitute a valid and binding waiver. CITY delay or failure to exercise a remedy or right is not a waiver of that or any other remedy or right under this lease. The use of one remedy or right for any default does not waive the use of another remedy or right for the same default or for another or later default. CITY'S acceptance of any rents is not a waiver of any default preceding the rent payment. CITY and LESSEE specifically agree that the property constituting the Premises is CITY-owned and held in trust for the benefit of the citizens of the City of Carlsbad and that any failure by the City Manager or CITY staff to discover a default shall not result in an equitable estoppel, but CITY shall at all times, subject to the applicable statute of limitations, have the legal right to require the cure of any default when and as such defaults are discovered or when as the City Council directs the City Manager to take action or require the cure of any default after such default is brought to the attention of the City Council by the City Manager or by any concerned citizen. 4.04 Eminent Domain. If all or part of the Premises is taken through condemnation proceedings or under threat of condemnation by any public authority with the power of eminent domain, the interests of CITY and LESSEE (or beneficiary or mortgagee) will be as follows: a. In the event the entire Premises are taken, this lease shall terminate on the date of the transfer of title or possession to the condemning authority, whichever first occurs. b. In the event of a partial taking, if, in the opinion of CITY, the remaining part of the Premises is unsuitable for the lease operation, this lease shall terminate on the date of the transfer of title or possession to the condemning authority, whichever first occurs. c. In the event of a partial taking, if, in the opinion of CITY, the remainder of the Premises is suitable for continued lease operation, this lease shall terminate in regard to the portion taken on the date of the transfer of title or possession to the condemning authority, whichever first occurs, but shall continue for the portion not taken. The minimum rent shall be equitably reduced to reflect the portion of the Premises taken. d. Award. All monies awarded in any such taking shall belong to CITY, whether such taking results in diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee or both; provided, however, LESSEE shall be entitled to any award attributable to the taking of or damages to LESSEE'S then remaining leasehold interest in installations or improvements of LESSEE, including crops. CITY shall have no liability to LESSEE for any award not provided by the condemning authority. e. Transfer. CITY has the right to transfer CITY'S interests in the Premises in lieu of condemnation to any authority entitled to exercise the power of eminent domain. If a transfer occurs, LESSEE shall retain whatever interest it may have in the fair market value of any improvements placed by it on the Premises in accordance with this lease so long as such rights do not unreasonably or substantially interfere with LESSEE'S operations. f. No Inverse Condemnation. The exercise of any CITY right under this lease shall not be interpreted as an exercise of the power of eminent domain and shall not impose any liability upon CITY for inverse condemnation.
