Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Leased Premises
Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, approximately _________
(number) square feet of space located on the _______ (number) floor of the Hotel, as shown
on the floor plan attached as Exhibit A , hereafter called the Leased Premises , together with the
right to use the parking and common facilities which may be furnished by Landlord, in common
with Landlord, the guests, occupants, and tenants (their agents, employees, customers, and

the parking areas presently surrounding the Hotel and the Leased Premises, subject to
furnishing sufficient parking as required by the ___________________________ (Name of City
and State) Building Ordinances through parking structures or otherwise. Tenant agrees not to
interfere with this construction in any manner whatever and waives any claim for damages

rules and regulations governing the use of the parking and common facilities.
2. Term
The term of this Lease is for a period of ______ (number) years, commencing on
____________________ (date of commencement of term) (the commencement date ), to
expire on ____________________ (date of end of term) , fully to be completed and ended. If
Landlord fails to deliver the Leased Premises on the commencement date because the Leased
Premises are not then ready for occupancy, or because the previous occupant of the Leased
Premises is holding over, or for any other cause beyond Landlord's control, the Landlord will not
be liable to Tenant for any damages as a result of the Landlord's delay in delivering the Leased
Premises, nor will any delay affect the validity of this Lease, and the commencement date of this
Lease will be postponed until the Leased Premises are ready for Tenant's occupancy. If
permission is given to Tenant to enter into possession of the Leased Premises, or to occupy
premises other than the Leased Premises, prior to the date specified as the commencement
date of the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees that occupancy will be deemed to be under all the
terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Lease. Tenant must furnish Landlord on
request, on or before occupancy of the Leased Premises, a letter addressed to Landlord stating:
That Tenant has accepted the Leased Premises for occupancy and setting forth the
commencement and expiration dates of this Lease and any other information as either Landlord
or the mortgagee of the Leased Premises requests.
3. Rent
Tenant must pay to Landlord as rent for the Leased Premises, during each year of the
term of the Lease, $_________________, payable in advance, in equal monthly installments of
$_______________, on the first day of each month throughout the term of this Lease; provided,
however, that if the Lease term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar
month or ends on a day other than the last day of the calendar month, the rental for the first or
last fractional month will be that proportion of the monthly rental as the number of days in the
fractional month bears to the total number of days in the calendar month. If Tenant fails to pay
when the rent is due and payable any rent or any additional rent, the unpaid amounts will bear
the interest from the due date to the date of payment at the rate of ______% per year, but in no
event higher than the legal limit. Lease Year is a fiscal year consisting of 12 consecutive
monthly periods commencing on the commencement date of this Lease.

Premises or the Hotel or its contents, business, or good reputation.
C. Tenant will operate its business as an integral part of the Hotel, in full
cooperation with the Hotel's management and so that the condition, cleanliness, and

and regulations affecting the Leased Premises, and the cleanliness, safety, occupation,

whatever in any way competitive with similar items sold by other tenants of Landlord
located in the Hotel without Landlord's prior written consent.
G. Tenant will not use the name _________________________ (name of hotel) or
any part of it, or any other name to which the name of the Hotel may subsequently be
changed, as part of any business name adopted by Tenant without the prior written
consent of Landlord. Tenant may, in its advertising, refer to Tenant's place of business
as located in the Hotel, giving its address.
5. Repairs
It is agreed that:
A. Landlord, after receiving written notice from Tenant and having reasonable
opportunity to obtain the necessary materials and workers, agrees to keep in good order
and repair (to the extent that they directly and immediately affect Tenant's use of the
Leased Premises) the foundation, roof and outer walls of the Hotel, but not windows,
doors, or glass, casings, frames, appliances or appurtenances or windows or doors, or
any attachments or attachments to the Leased Premises; nor is Landlord obligated to
repair any property installed or owned by Tenant at or on the Leased Premises,
including signs.
B. Except for the responsibilities of Landlord under paragraph A above, Tenant
during the term of this Lease must maintain the Leased Premises and every part of it in
as good repair (and at the expiration of the term yield and deliver up the premises in as
good condition) as when taken, reasonable wear and use of it and damage by the
elements excepted. Tenant must keep all glass which encloses or is part of the Leased
Premises in good repair, and replace any glass which becomes cracked or broken, and
must also repair and paper or paint, as the case may be, the interior of the Leased
Premises at reasonable times on Landlord's request. Except as mentioned above,
Tenant has the right to make only those alterations and changes in and to the Leased
Premises as Landlord approves in writing. In particular, but not by way of limitation, all
decorations, furnishings, paintings, papering, decor, and equipment made, done, or
installed in, to, or about the Leased Premises are subject to Landlord's prior written
approval. All above-mentioned repairs, alterations, changes, and other acts by Tenant
are at its own expense, do not adversely affect the value or structural strength of the
Hotel or other Leased Premises, are made in a workmanlike manner and comply with all
applicable laws, and all rules and regulations of ____________________ (city) , and the
Board of Insurance Underwriters.
C. Prior to the commencement by Tenant of any work in, on, or about the Leased
Premises that might result in the creation of mechanics' or materialmens' liens or on the
Hotel, or the land on which the Hotel is located, Tenant must either deliver to Landlord
waivers and sworn statements sufficient to preclude the creation of liens in connection
with that work, or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord for payment of the
cost of the work. Tenant covenants that all bills for labor, materials, furnishings, and
equipment supplied on Tenant's order to the Leased Premises or the Hotel must be fully
paid when due, and that if any mechanic's or materialmen's lien or liens are filed, Tenant
must, within ______ (number) days after such filing, at its own cost and expense, cause
liens to be discharged or, where permitted or required by law, file a bond or bonds for
that purpose. Tenant must only use contractors approved by Landlord for permitted
alterations to the Leased Premises.
D. All movable furniture and movable trade fixtures and equipment placed or
installed in or about the Leased Premises by Tenant must be and, except as
subsequently otherwise provided, remain the property of Tenant and must be removed
by it on the expiration or termination of this Lease and Tenant must promptly, at its sole
expense, remedy any damage to the Leased Premises caused by removal. All other
alterations, additions, or improvements made by either party on the Leased Premises
must be the property of Landlord and must remain on and be surrendered with the
Leased Premises on the termination of this Lease, without molestation or injury, except
as Landlord otherwise agrees in writing. Tenant must at all times during the term of this
Lease provide and maintain on the Leased Premises furniture and trade fixtures
reasonably required for the purpose of this Lease.
E. Tenant must at all times keep the Leased Premises in a clean, orderly, and
sanitary condition, free from rubbish and dirt, and must store all trash and rubbish within
the Leased Premises, and must arrange for the regular disposal of trash and rubbish at
Tenant's expense.
F. Landlord or its authorized agents have the right to enter on the Leased Premises
at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the Premises. If any repairs are
necessary for which Tenant is responsible, Landlord may demand that Tenant make
them. If Tenant refuses or neglects immediately to commence repairs (or other
obligations) and complete them with reasonable dispatch, Landlord may, but is not
obligated to, make or cause repairs to be made (or other obligations to be performed)
and is not responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage that may occur to its stock or
business by reason of loss. Tenant must promptly pay to landlord any and all expenses
incurred by it in this regard.
G. If Landlord deems it necessary, or is required by any governmental authority to
repair, alter, remove, reconstruct, or improve any part of the Leased Premises or of the
Hotel (unless it results from Tenant's act, neglect, default, or mode of operation, in which
event Tenant must make all repairs, alterations, and improvements), then the repairs,
alterations, or improvements must be made by Landlord with reasonable dispatch.
Should the making of those repairs, alterations, or improvements cause any interference
with Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, the interference will not relieve Tenant from
the performance of its obligations under this Lease.
6. Signs and Advertising
No signs or other advertising of any kind or nature whatever are permitted to be
displayed, installed, or maintained by Tenant in, at, or on the Leased Premises or the Hotel
except on obtaining Landlord's written consent. Tenant must maintain all of its signs in a good
state of repair and must hold Landlord harmless from any damage, cost, or expense resulting
from the construction, erection, alteration, maintenance, or removal of signs. All advertising in or
any media whatever which in any way refers or relates to the Leased Premises or the Hotel,
must at all times be entirely forthright and in good taste. Any advertising which, in the sole
opinion of Landlord, reflects discredit on the Hotel must be immediately discontinued on notice
from Landlord.
7. Utilities
A. Landlord will provide and maintain the necessary distribution systems and other
required facilities in order that gas, electricity, water, and sewer facilities may be
furnished to the Leased Premises. Tenant accepts the use of utility services as tendered
by Landlord during the term of the Lease, and any other utilities which Landlord may
elect to furnish, and must promptly pay as additional rent its proportionate share of the
total cost and expense to Landlord, as determined by Landlord, of supplying utility
services to the ________ (ordinal number) and ___________ (ordinal number) floors
of the Hotel. Tenant's proportionate share must be equal to the product obtained by
multiplying the total cost and expense of utility services by a fraction, the numerator of
which will be the number of square feet of floor area in the Leased Premises, and the
denominator of which will be the total number of square feet of floor area in the _______
(ordinal number) and ________ (ordinal number) floors of the Hotel. Landlord's costs
and expense of providing utility services include all of those items of expense which, in
usual accounting practice, are treated as operating costs, including but not limited to
items such as electricity, fuel, water, sewer facilities, supplies, wages, including wages of
supervisory personnel, compensation, and other insurance, payroll and personal
property taxes, maintenance and repairs to the equipment and housing located on the
roof (including the distribution facilities within and without the Leased Premises and
other leased areas in the Hotel), to the total amount of which will be added ______% for
administration, but operating costs do not include major structural maintenance of the
housing facilities located on the roof nor any major replacements or repairs of the type
ordinarily charged as capital expenses in usual accounting practices.
B. Tenant must pay, as additional rental, the amount due under this Section
monthly, in advance, as estimated and determined by Landlord, and Tenant must pay
charges within ______ (number) days after the presentation of bills. At the end of each
Lease Year, Landlord must furnish to Tenant an annual statement setting forth in
reasonable detail the cost and expense of providing utility services. Within _______
(number) days after the rendition of each annual statement to Tenant by Landlord,
Tenant must pay to Landlord, or Landlord will pay or credit to Tenant, as the case may
be, the difference between the estimated payments made by Tenant for the prior lease
year and the actual payment due.
C. Landlord may cut off and discontinue on _______ (number) days' notice to
Tenant water, gas, electricity, or any other service whenever and during any period for
which bills for them or for rent are not promptly paid by Tenant. Landlord is not liable in
damages or otherwise should the furnishing of any services by it to the Leased Premises
be interrupted by fire, accident, riot, strike, act of God, or the making of necessary
repairs or improvements or other causes beyond the control of Landlord, nor will the
interruption constitute a constructive or actual eviction or in any way release Tenant from
the prompt and punctual performance of its obligations under this Lease.
8. Increased Real Estate Taxes
A. Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rental during each Lease Year, its
proportionate share of any increase in the real estate ad valorem taxes, special
assessments, and any taxes in lieu of ad valorem taxes (the Increased Taxes ) which
may be assessed against the land, the Hotel, and permanent improvements of which the
Leased Premises are a part, and the parking area servicing the Hotel, for each Lease
Year after the Base Year (as subsequently defined) in excess of the real estate ad
valorem taxes for the Base Year (as subsequently defined) in excess of the real estate
ad valorem taxes for the Base Year. Tenant's proportionate share will be equal to the
product obtained by multiplying the Increased Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of
which will be the number of square feet of floor area in the Leased Premises and the
denominator of which will be the total number of square feet of floor area in the Hotel.
B. The Base Year is defined as the Lease Year in which the commencement date
occurs. The amount to be paid by the Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Section 8
must be paid in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month in
advance in an amount estimated by Landlord, provided that if Landlord is required under
any mortgage covering the Leased Premises to escrow real estate taxes, Landlord may,
but is not obligated to, use the amount required to be so escrowed as a basis for its
estimate of the monthly installments due from Tenant. On receipt of all tax bills and
assessment bills attributable to any Lease Year during the term of this Lease, Landlord
will furnish Tenant with a written statement of the actual amount due from Tenant to
Landlord pursuant to this Section 8 for that year. If the total amount paid by Tenant
under this Section 8 for any Lease Year during the term of this Lease is less than the
actual amount due from Tenant for the Lease Year, as shown on a statement, Tenant
must pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual
amount due, the amount to be paid within ______ (number) days after demand by
Landlord. If the total amount paid by Tenant under this Lease for any Lease Year
exceeds the actual amount due from Tenant to Landlord for the Lease Year, the excess
must be credited against the next installment of taxes and assessments due from Tenant
to Landlord under this Lease. For any Lease Year which is less than 12 full calendar
months, the amount required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 8 is reduced
by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of days in that year not included
in the term of this Lease and the denominator of which will be 365. Should
_________________ (state) or any political subdivision of it or any governmental
authority having jurisdiction over it levy, assess, or impose:
1. A tax on the rents or other income received from the Tax Parcel, or
2. A license fee measured by the rents receivable by Landlord from the Tax
Parcel, or
3. A tax, license, or franchise fee imposed on Landlord which is otherwise
measured by or based in whole or in part on the Tax Parcel or any portion of it,
either by way of substitution for the taxes levied or assessed against the Tax
Parcel, or in addition to it, the tax, assessment, or fee will be deemed to
constitute a real estate tax against the Tax Parcel for the purposes of this
Section 8 computed as if the amount of the tax, assessment, or fee so payable
were due as if the Tax Parcel were the only property of the Landlord subject to it.
Tenant must also pay all real and personal property taxes levied or assessed
against Tenant's property and improvements on or affixed to the Leased
Premises, including taxes attributable to all alterations, additions, or
improvements made by Tenant.
9. Insurance and Indemnification
With respect to insurance, it is agreed that:
A. Tenant must promptly pay as additional rent any increase in premiums which
may be charged during the term of this Lease on whatever amount of fire or other
casualty insurance Landlord may from time to time carry on the Leased Premises or the
Hotel or any property, real or personal, located in it or nearby to the extent that the
increase is attributable to Tenant's use of the Leased Premises or its activities, whether
or not the use or activity is permitted by Landlord or permitted or required by this Lease.
B. Tenant must save Landlord harmless from any loss, damage, or expense
resulting from damage or injury to any person or property on or about the Leased
Premises from any cause whatever and agrees to procure at its own expense from one
or more good and solvent insurance companies satisfactory to Landlord: (i) adequate
glass insurance covering doors and windows in or enclosing the Leased Premises, and
(ii) public liability and property damage insurance for the benefit of Landlord in the
amount of not less than $_______________ for damages resulting to one person,
$_______________ for damages resulting from one casualty, and $_______________
for property damage, and to keep insurance in force during the term of this Lease and to
deliver the policy or policies to the Landlord. If Tenant fails to procure insurance,
Landlord may at its option procure insurance for the account of Tenant, and the cost of it
will be paid to Landlord as additional rent on receipt by Tenant of bills for it.
10. Fire
If the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other
casualty during the term of this Lease, Landlord must, at its own cost and expense, repair and
restore the Leased Premises to tenantable condition with reasonable dispatch, and the rent
provided for will abate entirely in case the entire Leased Premises are untenantable and pro
rata for the portion rendered untenantable, in the event of partial untenantability, until the
Leased Premises are restored to tenantable condition. If the Leased Premises cannot be
restored to tenantable condition within a period of ______ (number) days, Landlord and Tenant
each have the right to terminate this Lease on written notice to the other and any rent paid for
any period in advance of the date damage and destruction occurred will be refunded to Tenant.
If the Leased Premises are damaged due to fire or other casualty, Tenant must at its own cost
and expense remove its furniture and other belongings from the Leased Premises that Landlord
requires in order to repair and restore the Leased Premises. Landlord is the sole judge as to the
extent of the untenantability of the Leased Premises and of the time required for the repair and
restoration of the Leased Premises. If the Hotel is destroyed to the extent of more than one-half
of its then value, Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease on written notice to Tenant, in
which event any rent paid in advance of the date of destruction will be refunded to Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant each release the other from any liability resulting from damage by fire or
any other peril covered by extended coverage insurance with waiver of subrogation normally
available in _______________ (state) , irrespective of the cause of the fire.
11. Eminent Domain
If the whole or any substantial part of the Leased Premises or the Hotel is taken by any
public authority under the power of eminent domain, then the term of this Lease ceases on the
part so taken on the date possession of that part is required for public use. Any rent paid in
advance of that date will be refunded to Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant each have the right to
terminate this Lease on written notice to the other, which notice must be delivered within
________ (number) days following the date notice is received of the taking. If neither party
terminates this Lease, Landlord will make all necessary repairs to the Leased Premises and the
Hotel to render and restore the Leased Premises to a complete architectural unit and Tenant will
continue in possession of the portion of the Leased Premises not taken under the power of
eminent domain, under the same terms and conditions as are here provided, except that the
rent reserved here will be reduced in direct proportion to the amount of the Leased Premises so
taken. All damages awarded for the taking belong to and are the property of Landlord, whether
damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or to the fee
of the Leased Premises; provided, however, Landlord is not entitled to any portion of the award
made to Tenant for removal and reinstallation of fixtures, or moving expenses.
12. Subordination
Landlord reserves the right to subject and subordinate this Lease to the lien of any
mortgage or mortgages now or to be placed on Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises and
the Hotel and/or the land of which the Leased Premises are a part; and Tenant must execute
and deliver any instruments which will from time to time be reasonably demanded to that end by
Landlord, or by any mortgagee. Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord its Attorney-in-Fact to
execute and deliver any instrument for and in the name of Tenant.
13. Quiet Enjoyment
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying all the above-stated rents and installments
and performing all the covenants, will and may peacefully and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the
Leased Premises for the stated term without molestation or hindrance by any person holding
under or through Landlord.
14. Assignment and Subletting
Tenant covenants not to assign or transfer this Lease or hypothecate or mortgage the
Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any part of it without the prior written consent of
Landlord. In the event of any assignment or transfer with Landlord's consent, Tenant remains
fully liable to perform all of the obligations under this Lease. In the event of any assignment,
transfer (including transfers by operation of law or otherwise), hypothecation, mortgage, or
subletting without written consent, in addition to any other right or remedy Landlord may have
under the provisions of this Lease, Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease and/or to
reenter and repossess the Leased Premises but Landlord's right to damages survives and
Tenant will in no way be released from any of its obligations under this Lease. Consent by
Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased
Premises will not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirement for the consent of Landlord to
any future assignment or subletting. The sale or sales aggregating ______% or more of: (i) the
capital stock of Tenant (if Tenant is a nonpublic corporation); or (ii) the partnership or joint
venture interests of Tenant (if Tenant be partnership or joint venture), will be deemed to be an
assignment of this Lease within the meaning of this Section 14.
15. Landlord Remedies
A. If any rent becomes due and unpaid or if Tenant is in default on any of the other
terms of this Lease, or if the Leased Premises are abandoned or vacated, then Landlord,
in addition to its other remedies provided in this Lease or permitted by law, has the right
to terminate this Lease. Landlord also has the immediate right of reentry. Should
Landlord elect to reenter or take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or any notice
provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease without waiving its right to
damages, or from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Leased Premises
or any part of it on those terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion deems
advisable. The avails of reletting will be applied: first, to the payment of any
indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than rent due, including all collection and court
costs and attorney's fees suffered in recovering and reletting the Leased Premises;
second, to the payment of any reasonable costs of reletting, including the cost of any
brokerage fees and reasonable alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises; third, to
the payment of rent due and unpaid; and the residue, if any, will be held by Landlord and
applied to the payment of future rent as rent may become due and payable. If rentals
received from reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month
by Tenant, or if Landlord does not relet the Leased Premises, Tenant must pay any
rental deficiency to Landlord. The deficiency will be calculated and paid monthly. No
reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord will be construed as an
election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of that intention is
given to Tenant or unless the termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time afterward
elect to terminate this Lease for the previous breach. Should Landlord at any time
terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it
may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of breach, including the
cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorney's fees incidental to
recovery, and including the worth at the time of termination of the excess, if any, of the
amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of
the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the
remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts will be immediately due and payable
by Tenant.
B. Landlord or its attorney, representatives, and assigns, may reenter and
repossess the Leased Premises, and declare the term of the Lease forfeited if the
Leased Premises are deserted or vacated by Tenant for _______ (number) days or
more. Landlord may pursue all remedies available to it under this Lease or at law for a
forfeiture by Tenant.
C. If Tenant vacates or abandons the Leased premises in violation of this Lease,
any property or sign, interior or exterior, that Tenant leaves on the Leased premises will
be deemed to have been abandoned, and may either be retained by Landlord as the
property of Landlord or may be disposed of at public or private sale as Landlord sees fit.
The proceeds from the sale of any property of Tenant sold at public or private sale or the
then current fair market value of property as may be retained by Landlord will be applied
by Landlord against: (1) the expenses of Landlord for removal, storage, or sale of the
personalty, (2) the arrears of rent or future rent payable under this Lease, and (3) any
other damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease. The balance of the
amounts, if any, must be given to Tenant.
D. Landlord has the option to treat as abandoned and retain all personal property or
movable trade fixtures belonging to Tenant that Tenant fails to remove by the ending
date of the term of this Lease specified in Section 2 above, or Landlord may remove
those items from the Leased Premises and store the property at the expense of Tenant.
C. All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative and none
are exclusive of any other rights and remedies allowed by law.
16. Holding Over
In the event of Tenant holding over after termination of this Lease, a tenancy from month
to month will exist in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, and Tenant will pay to
Landlord a daily occupancy charge equal to ______% of the monthly rental under Section 3
(plus all other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease) for each day after the expiration or
termination of this Lease until the date the Leased Premises are delivered to Landlord in the
condition required here, and Landlord's right to damages for illegal occupancy survives.
17. Right to Show Premises
Tenant agrees that, during the ______ (number) months next preceding the expiration
of the term of this Lease, it will at all reasonable hours permit Landlord or its authorized agent to
show the Leased Premises to persons who might desire to lease the premises, and to place a
notice which will not interfere with the business of Tenant on the front of the Leased Premises
offering the Leased Premises To Rent or For Sale and Tenant agrees to permit the notice to
remain without hindrance or molestation.
18. Landlord’s Lien
This Lease constitutes a security agreement (as security for any rentals and other
amounts due to Landlord and for the performance of all of Tenant's obligations) covering
Tenant's present and future interest in all furniture, fixtures, and equipment now owned or to be
acquired and may be enforced in the manner provided by law. Notice of default and sale will be
made as required by the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in ________________ (state) .
19. Nonliability
A. In the event of any sale or transfer of the Leased Premises (including any
transfer by operation of law), Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or
conveyances the then transferor or grantor) will be automatically freed and relieved from
and after the date of the transfer or conveyance of all personal liability as to the
performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this
Lease to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then-
transferor or grantor at the time of transfer or conveyance, in which Tenant has an
interest, will be turned over to the transferee or grantee and any amount then due and
payable to Tenant by Landlord or the then-transferor or grantor under any provision of
this Lease, will be paid to Tenant, it being intended that the covenants and obligations
contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord will, subject as above, be binding on
Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective
successive periods of ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease,
neither Landlord nor any of its officers, directors, agents, or employees will in any
manner or to any extent be liable or responsible to Tenant or any other person:
B. For any loss or damage (or injury to person or property) caused by stoppage,
failure, malfunction, or other defect of or in utilities, or any other aspect or facility of the
Leased Premises or the Hotel, such as (but not limited to) leakage, overflow or backing
up of or from plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, gas lines, water mains, sewers, or
other drainage facilities.
C. For loss or damage (or injury to person or property) resulting from accidents,
explosions, leaks, or other causes attributable to Tenant's use of the Leased Premises
or arising in or about the Leased Premises, and Tenant will be solely responsible.
D. For loss or damage (or injury to person or property) occasioned by or through
acts or omissions of other tenants or guests of the Hotel or other persons occupying or
using adjoining or nearby portions of the Hotel.
E. For damage to, or shortages in, Tenant's merchandise, equipment, or other
property from any cause whatever.
20. Landlord Liability
If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, term, or condition of this Lease, and if as a
consequence of default Tenant recovers a money judgment against Landlord, the judgment
must be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment and
levied against the right, title, and interest of Landlord in the Hotel and out of rents or other
income from the property receivable by Landlord, or out of the consideration received by
Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Landlord's right, title, and
