No reentry, acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet, or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless an express written notice of such intention is delivered to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting of the Premises without termination of this Lease by Landlord, Lanqlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease, in which case, L~ndlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided by law or equity or this Lease upon termination. D. Performance by Landlord. If Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for thirty (30) days (or such shorter time period as may be specified otherwise in this Lease) after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the breach or failure, Landlord, without thereby waiving or curing such may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligation for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Landlord may also so perform any such obligation without notice in case of an emergency. E. Receiver on Behalf of Landlord. If, at the instance of Landlord in ·any action arising under this Lease, a receiver shall be appointed to take possession of the Premises or to collect the rents derived therefrom, then the receiver may, if it shall be necessary or convenient in order to collect such rents, conduct the business of Tenant then being carried on in the Premises, and may take possession of any Tenant's Property and other personal property and records used in Tenant's business and use the same in conducting such business, without compensation to Tenant for such use. Neither application for, nor the appointment of a receiver shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, unless express written notice of such election is given to Tenant. The fees and expenses of such receiver shall be charged to Tenant as Additional Rent. -22 - Sept. 21, 2021 Item #1 Page 28 of 48 _jJl!Ul!'I.D.I 16.3 Late Charges. Landlord and Tenant agree that the fixing of actual damages for Tenant's breach of any of the provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other amounts due hereunder, would cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult or impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to accounting, processing, administrative, legal and clerical charges and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any Deed of Trust covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant hereunder has not been received by Landlord or Landlord's agent within ten {10) days after such amount was due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any such delinquent installment of rent or any other delinquent sum due from Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees that said late charge represents a fair· and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by.Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease, at law or in equity. If a late charge is payable by Tenant whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent during any twelve (12) month period, then the Base Rent shall automatically become due and payable to Landlord quarterly in advance, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary. 16.4 Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any and all amounts not paid to Landlord when due, shall bear interest, compounded monthly from the date due until paid at the rate of five percent (5%). Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease and shall not affect any rights and remedies provided to Landlord in this Lease or at law or in equity, all of which shall be cumulative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Manager of the City of Carlsbad shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to waive for good cause any interest payment upon written application of Tenant for any such delinquency period. 16.5 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or otherwise. The rights given to Landlord herein are in addition to any rights that may be given to Landlord by any statute or otherwise. 16.6 Guaranty. NA 16.7 Landlord's Default. Landlord shall in no event be charged with default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations and such failure continues for more than thirty {30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably necessary to correct any such failure) after Landlord's receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant. -23 - Sept. 21, 2021 Item #1 Page 29 of 48 jJI\Ull'I.D.J 17.2 Attornment. Tenant hereby attorns to and shall recognize the Landlord's Lender as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Landlord may require to evidence such attornment. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver the instrument of attornment on behalf of Tenant. 17.3 Estoppel Certificate. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant at any time and from time to time shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord, no later than ten (10) business days after Landlord's request therefor, an estoppel certificate in any reasonable form requested by Landlord ("Estoppel Certificate"). The Estoppel Certificate may be conclusively relied upon by a prospective lender, purchaser, or encumbrancer of Landlord's interest in the Premises. Failure to deliver the Estoppel Certificate within ten (10) days of such request shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's or Tenant's performance; (iii) not more than one month's Base Rent has been paid in advance; and (iv) the Security Deposit is in an amount equal to that specified in Article 1 hereof. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney-in- fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute any such Estoppel Certificate upon Tenant's failure to do so within such ten {10) day period. 17.4 Rights of Landlord's Lender and Landlord's Purchaser. If any Landlord's Lender or any purchaser of Landlord's interest in the Premises ("Landlord's Purchaser") requires a modification of this Lease at any time, Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord instruments effecting the modifications that the Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser reasonably requires, provided that such modifications do not increase the rent, reduce the size of the Premises or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect any of Tenant's. rights under this Lease. If Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser has given prior written notice to Tenant that it is the Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser and such notice includes the address at which notices to such Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser are to be sent, then Tenant shall give Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser, as the case may be, written notice simultaneously with any notice given to Landlord to correct any failure of Landlord to perform any of Landlord's obligations. Landlord's Lender and Landlord's Purchaser shall have the right after receipt of said written notice to correct or remedy such failure within a reasonable period of time. Any written notice of default given Landlord shall be null and void unless simultaneous written notice has been given to Landlord's Lender and Landlord's Purchaser. 17.5 Limitation of Liability. The covenants and agreements of Landlord under this Lease shall not be binding upon any person at any time after the transfer of that person's interest, as landlord, in the Premises. In the event of such a transfer, the covenants and agreements of Landlord shall thereafter be binding upon the transferee of Landlord's interest. · -25 - Sept. 21, 2021 Item #1 Page 31 of 48 JHSU~'l.:D.I ARTICLE 18 FORCE MAJEURE If either party hereto shall be delayed in or prevented, from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of acts of God, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations or other causes without fault and beyond the control of the party obligated (financial inability excepted) (collectively, "Force Majeure"), performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the 'performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay; provided, however, nothing in this Section shall delay-the Rent Commencement Date or excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of ·any rent or other charge required of Tenant hereunder, except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease. ARTICLE 19 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 19.1 Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law assign, mortgage, sublet, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or contract for the management or operation of the whole or any part of the Premises, or permit the occupancy of any part of the Premises by any other person or business entity, or permit transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or dissolution (collectively "Transfer"), without first obtaining Landlord's express written consent. No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section. If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, of any partner or member, or the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company, shall be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent. If Tenant consists of more than one person or entity, a purported assignment, voluntary, involuntary, or by operati_on of law, from one person to the other shall be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the capital stock of Tenant or the value of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent. Landlord and Tenant agree (by way of example and without limitation) that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a Transfer if any of the following situations exist or may exist: (i) the proposed Transferee's (as defined below) use of the Premises conflicts with or is different from the Permitted Use; (ii) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with aqditional requirements of law beyond those requirements which are applicable to Tenant; (iii) in Landlord's reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and quality permitted under this Lease; (iv) Tenant is in default under this Lease; or (v) the present net worth of the proposed Transferee is less than the greater o~ Tenant's net worth as of the date of this Lease or Tenant's net worth at the date of Tenant's request for consent. -26 - Sept. 21, 2021 Item #1 Page 32 of 48 .'11SU1S'fj:l.l Any attempted or purported Transfer without Landlord's prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect and shall not confer any estate or benefit on anyone. A consent to one Transfer by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer to any other party. 19.2 Request for Transfer. Tenant shall give Landlord at least sixty {60) days' prior _written notice of any requested· Transfer and of the proposed terms of such Transfer· ("Transfer Notice"), including but not limited to: (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed assignee, sublessee, encumbrancer or transferee ("Transferee"); (ii) a current financial statement of.the proposed Transferee prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied; (iii) the portion of the Premises Tenant proposes to Transfer (including square footage and location); and (iv) the nature of the proposed Transferee's business to be carried on in the Premises. The foregoing terms shall be in sufficient detail to enable Landlord to evaluate the proposed Transfer and the prospective Transferee. Within thirty {30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice, Landlord shall either approve or disapprove of such Transfer; provided, however, that Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved the Transfer Notice if Landlord has not sent Tenant written notice of Landlord's approval within such thirty (30) day period. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer. Tenant shall also provide to Landlord copies of the fully executed documents pertaining to the Transfer after the Transfer has become effective. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord's review and processing fee in the amount of $500.00, as well as any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord, within thirty {30) days after written request by Landlord. 19.3 Landlord's Rights. Upon receipt of a Transfer Notice pursuant to Section 20.2 above, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) withhold its consent to such Transfer, as permitted pursuant to Section 20.1 above; (ii) terminate this Lease as it relates to the portion of the Premises described in the Transfer Notice and recaptt,1re such portion of the Premises" effective automatically as of the date of dispatch of a notice of termination from Landlord to Tenant, which notice may be sent at any time within thirty (30} days following Landlord's refusal to consent to the Transfer; (iii) sublet or receive an assignment of all or a portion of the Premises from Tenant at the lower of the rental specified in this Lease o·r in Tenant's Notice; or (iv) impose any of the following as conditions to Landlord's consent: (a) that all rents paid by the Transferee to Tenant in excess of the Base Rent be paid to Landlord; or (b) that any Guarantor. of this Lease reaffirms its guaranty; or (c) that either Tenant or the proposed Transferee cure, on or before the proposed effective date of such Transfer, any and all uncured defaults hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord's failure to condition its consent upon such cure be deemed to be a waiver of any such default or of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease or under law or in equity in regard thereto. If Landlord has elected to impose such a cure as a condition to its consent and such condition is not satisfied by the effective date of the Transfer, then the Transfer shall be voidable at Landlord's option. -27 - Sept. 21, 2021 Item #1 Page 33 of 48 jJISUISlfj)_J Landlord shall also have the right to condition Landlord's consent to any Transfer upon Tenant's and the Transferee's executing a written assumption agreement, in a form approved by Landlord. The assumption agreement shall require the Transferee to expressly assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall require Tenant and Transferee to be and remain jointly and severally liable for the performance of all conditions, covenants, and obligations under this Lease from the effective date of the Transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease. Regardless of Landlord's consent to any Transfer, no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. These rights are in addition to Landlord's right to withhold its consent to any Transfer, and may be exercised by Landlord in its sole discretion without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have by reason of such Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said Transferee. Tenant expressly agrees that the provisions of this Article are not unreasonable standards or conditions for purposes of Section 1951.4(b)(2) of the California Civil Code, as amended or recodified from time to time.
