B.
|
Tenant, without any requirement of prior notice to Tenant, agrees to pay a late payment and administrative charge of five (5%) percent of the total monthly rental due, including any and all additions to Base Rent, if the Base Rent is not paid when due and such nonpayment continues beyond the tenth (10th) day of the month. Such late payment and administrative charge shall be due as additional rent, shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder in the event of Tenant’s default, and shall be payable with the rent to which it pertains. Tenant further agrees that the late payment and administrative charge imposed is fair and reasonable, complies with all laws, regulations and
statutes, and constitutes an agreement between Landlord and Tenant as to the estimated compensation for costs and administrative expenses incurred by Landlord due to the late payment of rent to Landlord by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that the late payment and administrative charge assessed pursuant to this Lease is not interest, and the late payment and administrative charge does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant. Acceptance of such late payment and administrative charge by Landlord shall in no event in the future constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising in the future any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Furthermore, in the event any check delivered to Landlord in payment of any amount due under this Lease is returned uncollected, for
non-sufficient funds, or for any like reason, in addition to any and all remedies available to Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent, the sum of $20.00 to compensate Landlord for the additional administrative cost and expense incurred by Landlord by reason of such check. In the event Tenant shall be served with a demand for the payment of any past due amount under this Lease, any payments tendered thereafter to cure any default by Tenant shall be made only by cashier’s or certified check.
|
||
C.
|
It is fully understood and Landlord and Tenant agree that this is a “net, net, net lease”, and Tenant is to be fully responsible, liable and is to pay for all taxes, fees, expenses, assessments, insurance, repairs, both interior and exterior, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen and any other charges for the Premises, except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Lease and Landlord shall be indemnified and saved harmless by Tenant from and against all costs and expenses arising from nonpayment of or noncompliance with the same.
|
||
42. | Real Estate Taxes: | ||
A.
|
In addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent, during each and every year during the term of this Lease, and for so long as Tenant’s occupancy of the premises continues, Tenant agrees to pay and shall pay, as additional rent, any and all increases in Real Estate Taxes (as defined below), and assessments imposed on 91. Heartland Boulevard above those for the Base Tax Year (as hereinafter defined). Any increase(s) in Real Estate Taxes due to an increase in the assessed valuation of the land or building caused by Tenant’s use and occupation of the premises shall be borne entirely by Tenant.
|
Tenant shall be responsible for payment of increases in Real Estate Taxes, as additional rent hereunder, on a semiannual basis, thirty (30) days prior to the date Landlord is required to make said payments to the taxing authority, without penalty.
|
If Landlord decides at any time and from time to time during the term, at its sole option, Tenant shall make monthly Real Estate Tax payments, along with the monthly Base Rent due, in accordance with the procedure as set forth in paragraph 45. The parties agree their intent is that Tenant shall have made Real Estate Tax payments to Landlord, in full, prior to the date said Real Estate Tax payments are due to the taxing authority.

If, after any such recapture by Landlord, Landlord actually enters into a valid and binding lease for the premises, or any portion thereof, with the Tenant’s proposed assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, and Tenant employed a licensed real estate broker to procure such proposed tenant. Landlord agrees to pay a commission to such procuring broker of the proposed transaction which initiated Landlord’s right to recapture (which commission shall paid be pursuant
to a separate agreement between Landlord and such broker based upon Landlord’s standard commission rates and in accordance with the terms of Landlord’s standard commission agreement based upon the terms of the lease actually entered into between Landlord and such tenant). No broker is a third party beneficiary hereunder.

(1)
|

|
|
(2)
|
At the time of such assignment or subletting this Lease must be in full force and effect without any breach or default thereunder on the part of Tenant continuing beyond the period provided for curing same.
|
|
(3)
|
The assignment or subletting must be solely for the same purposes and uses permitted by this Lease.
|
|
(4)
|
The assignee (or sublessee, if the sublease is for a term less than the then remaining term of this Lease) shall assume, by written recordable instrument, in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, the due performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, including any accrued obligations at the time of the assignment or subletting.
|
|
(5)
|
A copy of the assignment or sublease and the original assumption agreement (both in form and content satisfactory to Landlord) fully executed and acknowledged by the assignee together (if a corporation) with a certified copy of a properly executed corporate resolution authorizing such assumption agreement, shall be delivered to Landlord ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment or subletting.
|
|
(6)
|
Such assignment and/or subletting shall be upon and subject to all the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and Tenant (and any assignee(s) and sublessee(s)) shall continue to be and remain liable thereunder.
|
|
(7)
|
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees for examination of and/or preparation of any documents in connection with such assignment.
|
|
(8)

bona
fide
and ongoing business relationship to Tenant.
|

|
||
(1)

|
||
(2)
|
any increase in the amount of issued and/or outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporate Tenant and/or the creation of one or more additional classes of capital stock of any corporate Tenant, whether by merger, or consolidation, in a single transaction or a related series of transactions, with the result that the beneficial and record ownership in and to such tenant shall no longer be identically held in the same proportion by the beneficial and record owners of the capital stock of such corporate Tenant as of the date Tenant executed this Lease shall be deemed an assignment, except for a transfer on or as a result of the death of a shareholder and further provided, however, that the foregoing provisions
of this subparagraph (2) shall not be applicable to any corporate tenant whose shares are publicly traded on a nationally recognized exchange.
|
||
(3)

|
|||
E.
|
In the event Landlord shall not exercise its right of recapture as set forth in (B) above, in determining whether to grant consent to Tenant’s sublet or assignment request, Landlord may consider any reasonable factor. Landlord and Tenant agree that lack of any one of the following factors, or any other reasonable factor, will be conclusively deemed reasonable grounds for denying Tenant’s request:
|
||
(1)
|
financial strength of the proposed subtenant/assignee must be at least equal to that of the existing Tenant;
|
||
(2)
|
business reputation of the proposed subtenant/assignee must be in accordance with generally acceptable commercial standards;
|
||
(3)
|
use of the premises by the proposed subtenant/assignee must be substantially identical to the use permitted by this Lease;
|
||
(4)
|
managerial and operational skills of the proposed subtenant/assignee must be the same as those of the existing Tenant;
|
||
(5)
|
use of the premises by the proposed subtenant/assignee will not violate or create any potential violation of any laws;
|
||
(6)
|
use of the premises will not violate any other agreements affecting the premises, Landlord or other Tenants.
|
||
(7)
|
proposed subtenant/assignee must not presently be a tenant or occupant (or affiliate of either) of the building(s) of which the premises are a part, or of the Heartland Business Center if there is similar available space.

Landlord may withhold its consent hereunder should Tenant in any way attempt or intend to use this Lease as an asset, for the purpose of subletting the premises or assigning the Lease, as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine.
|
||||
F.
|
If Landlord does not deny Tenant’s request, such consent shall be given subject to and provided Tenant strictly complies with items (1) – (8) of subsection “C” of this paragraph 53.

bona fide
sale of Tenant’s business, as a going concern, (whether accomplished by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock transfer) to a purchaser who intends to continue to operate the Tenant’s business at the Premises (and the purpose of the sale is not an attempt to transfer this Lease as an asset of the business), Landlord shall not have the rights set forth in paragraphs B (1) and B (2) above, and provided: (i) Tenant is not in default under any of the terms and conditions of this Lease;
(ii) Tenant furnishes Landlord with bona fide financial statements of a certified public accountant for the two years immediately prior to the proposed assignment evidencing that the tangible net worth of the assignee, or a guarantor thereof, is at least equal to the tangible net worth of Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease or the time of the proposed transfer, whichever is greater; and (iii) Tenant furnishes Landlord with a fully executed original assignment of this Lease to, and assumption of this Lease by, the assignee, Landlord’s consent shall not otherwise be required in connection with the assignment contemplated by this subparagraph G.
|
|||
54.
|
Consents:
|
|||
Subject to paragraph 53 (E), wherever consents are required, such consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided, however, that in the event Landlord’s consent is not given Tenant, in no event, shall be entitled to make, nor shall Tenant make, any claim for, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any claim for money damages; nor shall Tenant claim any money damages by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense, based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Landlord has unreasonably withheld any consent; but Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. Subject to the
damages limitations set forth above in this paragraph, for the purposes of this paragraph 54 only, at Tenant’s election, Landlord and Tenant agree to the use of an expedited arbitration proceeding, consisting of a panel of three arbitrators each arbitrator with at least ten years experience in commercial real estate matters (one arbitrator chosen by each of Landlord and Tenant, and the third arbitrator to be chosen by the other two arbitrators) in Suffolk County, New York, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association applicable to commercial matters in the state of New York for the resolution of the issue of whether Tenant’s request for such consent was unreasonably withheld or delayed.

proceeding from the unsuccessful party.

If an institution furnishing or intending to furnish a mortgage on the premises shall require a change or changes in this Lease as a condition of such financing and if Tenant unreasonably refuses to agree thereto, the Landlord may terminate this Lease at any time, provided such changes shall not substantially alter the obligations of the parties each to the other or
to impose on the Tenant any conditions more burdensome than as otherwise exists hereunder.
