Month-to-Month Lease The Tenant shall be allowed to occupy the Premises on a month-to-month arrangement starting on , 20 and ending upon notice of days from either Party to the other Party (“Lease Term”).
Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date, with Landlord’s Work Substantially Completed (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 45 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated by Tenant: (a) the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant, and (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease. As used herein, the terms “Landlord’s Work,” “Tenant Delays” and “Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Work Letter. If Tenant does not elect to void this Lease within 10 business days of the lapse of such 45 day period, such right to void this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant does not terminate this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Base Rent shall be abated 1 day for each day after such 45 day period (as extended by Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays) that the Premises are not Delivered to Tenant.
Monthly Rent a. Commencing as of the Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as monthly rent for the Premises, the Monthly Rent specified in Paragraph 2 above. If Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Rent hereunder commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or if the term of this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Monthly Rent payable for such partial month shall be appropriately prorated on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month. Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent specified in Paragraph 7 shall he paid by Tenant to Landlord, in advance, without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in immediately available funds of lawful money of the United States of America, or by good check as described below, to the lockbox location designated by Landlord, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Payments made by check must be drawn either on a California financial institution or on a financial institution that is a member of the federal reserve system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord together with Tenant’s execution of this Lease an amount equal to the Monthly Rent payable for the first full calendar month of the Lease term after Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Rent shall have commenced hereunder, which amount shall be applied to the Monthly Rent first due and payable hereunder.
b. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or otherwise payable in connection with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, in addition to the Monthly Rent hereunder and Additional Rent under Paragraph 7, shall constitute rent owed by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.
c. Any rent not paid by Tenant to Landlord when due shall bear interest from the date due to the date of payment by Tenant at an annual rate of interest (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law on such due date for business loans (not primarily for personal, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of non-payment of rent when due and five (5) days after delivery of such notice to cure such non-payment once in each calendar year before assessing interest in such calendar year pursuant to this Paragraph 5.c. Failure by Tenant to pay rent when due, including any interest accrued under this subparagraph, shall constitute an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 25 below) giving rise to all the remedies afforded Landlord under this Lease and at law for nonpayment of rent.
d. No security or guaranty which may now or hereafter be furnished to Landlord for the payment of rent due hereunder or for the performance by Tenant of the other terms of this Lease shall in any way be a bar or defense to any of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease or at law.
e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease: (i) in no event may any rent under this Lease be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises, except for percentage rent based on gross (not net) receipts or sales; (ii) if the holder of a Superior Interest (as defined in Paragraph 21 below) succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Lease (“Successor Landlord”) and the Successor Landlord is advised by its counsel that all or any portion of the rent payable under this Lease is or may be deemed to be “unrelated business income” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, such Successor Landlord may, at its option, unilaterally amend the calculation of rent so that none of the rent payable to Landlord under the Lease will constitute “unrelated business income,” but the amendment will not increase Tenant’s payment obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce the Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and (iii) upon the Successor Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute any document such holder deems necessary to effect the foregoing amendment to this Lease.
Extension of Lease Term The Original Lease Term is hereby extended for a period of eighteen (18) months continuing through and including November 30, 2022 (the “Extension Term” and the Original Lease Term as so extended by the Extension Term, the “Lease Term”).
Term of Contract; Contract Extension The Contract will be in effect from the Effective Date (15 December 2016) through 31 December 2018. DAS, in its sole discretion, may extend this Contract for additional terms beyond the original term, prior to Termination or expiration, one or more times for a combined total period not to exceed the complete length of the original term.
Option to Extend Lease Term At the expiration of the original Lease Term, Tenant may extend this Lease as to the entire Premises or a portion of the Premises for two (2) extended terms of five (5) years each (each an “Extended Term”) by giving Landlord written notice (the “Option Notice”) of its intention to do so not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term, and thereafter twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the applicable Extended Term; provided, however, that Tenant is not in material default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under the Lease on the date of giving such notice or on the date of commencement of such Extended Term. The Option Notice shall set forth Tenant’s election to extend the Lease for all or a portion of the Premises. If Tenant elects to extend the Lease for only a portion of the Premises, the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease shall be: (i) either located entirely on one floor of the Premises or located on one entire floor and a portion of the other floor; (ii) a minimum of 15,000 RSF; (iii) adjacent to a window line and easily accessible; and (iv) shall be in a readily marketable and leasable location. Landlord shall be responsible for any and all costs to separate the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease from the remainder of the Premises such that the space is a separate easily accessible and readily marketable space promptly following the commencement of the applicable Extended Term. Any termination of the entire Lease shall result in automatic termination of this option. Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term provided herein is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease, including to a Tenant’s Affiliate. The Extended Term shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the following rights of Tenant during the original Lease Term shall not apply during such Extended Term unless granted as part of the Fair Market Rental: (a) any right to rent-free possession; (b) any right to further extension of the Lease Term beyond the Extended Terms set forth herein above; (c) any right to continue to pay the same Base Rent; (d) any right to additional Tenant Allowance; (e) any right to terminate the Extended Term early; (f) any right to continue to exclude HVAC Capital Expenditures; (g) cost of security for the Building; and (h) the right to the continuation of any cap on Controllable Operating Expenses from the previous year (it being understood that the Operating Expenses for the first twelve (12) months of each new Extended Term shall be the actual Operating Expenses without any cap and thereafter the cap set forth in Section 4.2(e) shall apply). Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Base Rent during each Extended Term shall be equal to ninety-five (95%) of the Base Rent component of the “Fair Market Rental” and one hundred percent (100%) of the economic concessions, including without limitation, free rent, improvement allowance, base year and other monetary concessions, component of the Fair Market Rental for the Premises, as determined by as follows:
(a) Concurrent with Tenant’s delivery of each Option Notice, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of its determination of Fair Market Rental for the Premises (“Tenant’s Determination of FMR”). Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Determination of FMR, Landlord shall, by written notice delivered to Tenant, either (a) accept Tenant’s Determination of FMR (“Notice of Acceptance”), or (b) reject Tenant’s Determination of FMR (“Notice of Rejection”). If Landlord does not deliver either the Notice of Acceptance or the Notice of Rejection within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted Tenant’s Determination of FMR. If Landlord delivers a Notice of Rejection, Landlord shall also concurrently deliver to Tenant Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental for the Premises (“Landlord’s Determination of FMR”). If Landlord delivers the Notice of Rejection within said thirty (30) day period, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon the Fair Market Rental within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers the Notice of Rejection (“Negotiation Period”).
(b) If the parties fail to agree on the Fair Market Rental for such Extended Term during the Negotiation Period, then the Fair Market Rental shall be established as set forth below. Within fifteen (15) days following expiration of the Negotiation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon a broker to determine the Fair Market Rental and shall concurrently deliver their final Tenant’s Determination of FMR and final Landlord’s Determination of FMR to use for the arbitration procedure set forth below; provided however, that if the difference between the final Landlord’s Determination of FMR and the final Tenant’s Determination of FMR is five percent (5%) or less, then a broker shall not be designated and the Fair Market Rental shall equal the average of the two (2) determinations. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon a broker, then either party hereunder may request that the Presiding Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court appoint such broker. Within ten (10) business days after the selection of the broker, such broker shall select either the final Landlord’s Determination of FMR or the final Tenant’s Determination of FMR in its entirety, without averaging or otherwise adjusting such value in any manner, and shall notify the parties of his or her decision. The broker’s decision concerning the Fair Market Rental shall be binding upon the parties, shall not be subject to any right of appeal and shall constitute the Rent payable by Tenant during the Extended Term.
(c) Landlord and Tenant intend that the “Fair Market Rental” shall be deemed to be the rent per square foot of rentable area of space that is then being charged for space located in buildings in the vicinity of the Building that are comparable in quality, age and size and offer similar amenities to the Building (“Comparable Buildings”) and involving non-renewing leases (i.e. leases where the tenant is not already occupying the leased premises) with similar terms and conditions, and involving the use of the premises for similar purposes allowed under the Lease for tenants of similar size, credit quality and stature and include current market concessions including tenant improvement allowances, abatement, downtime to secure a new tenant and build out space, brokerage commissions, a new base year (if given in comparable deals) and/or the anticipated budget for Additional Rent, inducements and other economic considerations for the lease of space comparable to the Premises then being offered in similar buildings in the Southeast Valley Submarket. The spaces used for comparison shall be comparable in size, age, quality and design to the Premises, and such spaces used for comparison shall be comparable to the Premises with respect to their location within such buildings, the quality and quantity of tenant improvements installed at each landlord’s expense, the services provided by each landlord to such tenant, and the financial strength of tenant.
(d) The parties shall share equally in the cost of the broker. No person shall be appointed or designated a broker unless he or she is a real estate broker licensed in the State of Arizona, who specializes in the field of commercial office space leasing in the Southeast Valley market, has at least ten (10) years’ experience in leasing of commercial office space in the Southwest Valley market and is recognized within the field as being reputable and ethical. The broker shall not have ever been employed (full-time or part-time or on a consulting basis) by Landlord or Tenant.
(e) In the event that the Fair Market Rental is not established before the commencement of the Extended Term, Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent in effect as of the end of the prior term; when the Fair Market Rental has been established, the new Base Rent and concessions granted pursuant to the Fair Market Rental shall be retroactively effective as of the beginning of the Extended Term, and Tenant shall pay Landlord any deficiency or Tenant shall receive a credit, as applicable, with in thirty (30) days after the establishment of the new Fair Market Rental.
Acceptance of Leased Premises Tenant has accepted possession and is currently occupying the Leased Premises.
Rent Payment Tenant shall pay the Base Rent for the premises and any additional rent provided herein without deduction or offset. Rent for any partial month during the lease term shall be prorated to reflect the number of days during the month that Tenant occupies the premises. Additional rent means amounts determined under section 19 of this lease and any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this lease. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half per month until paid. Landlord may at its option impose a late charge of $.05 for each $1 of rent for rent payments made more than 10 days late in lieu of interest for the first month of delinquency, without waiving any other remedies available for default. Failure to impose a late charge shall not be a waiver of Landlord's rights hereunder.
Minimum Monthly Rent Tenant shall pay minimum monthly rent (“Minimum Monthly Rent”) in the initial amount stated in Section 1.5. The Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased as set forth in Section 1.5 and/or elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant shall pay the Minimum Monthly Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month, in advance, at the office of Landlord or at such other place designated by Landlord, without deduction, offset or prior demand. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the rent for the partial month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be prorated on a per diem basis and shall be due on the first day of such partial month. Upon execution of this Lease, and before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the aggregate of the first month’s Minimum Monthly Rent, the first month’s Monthly Impound Payment (see Section 4.4), and the Security Deposit (see Section 5).
Rent and Security Deposit i. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord for the Leased Premises in lawful money of the United States rent for the first twelve (12) months of the term hereof at the rate of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per square foot of occupied space, in advance, except that the monthly installment which otherwise shall be due on the commencement date recited above, shall be due and payable on the date hereof. Thereafter one such monthly installment shall be due and payable without demand on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the commencement date; further provided, that the rental payment for any fractional calendar month at the commencement or end of the Lease term shall be prorated. The rate charged for rent shall increase by $0.50 (Fifty Cents) per year for each such succeeding twelve (12) month period.
ii. In addition, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on the date hereof the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), which sum shall be held by Landlord, without obligation for interest, as security for the full, timely and faithful performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that such deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law, use such funds to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent or other payments due to Landlord hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by any event of Tenant's default; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Although the security deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant at such time after termination of this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Lease, if the Building is conveyed by Landlord, said deposit may be turned over to Landlord's grantee, and if so, Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability with respect to said deposit and its application or return.
