ARTICLE 2 - GRANTING CLAUSE AND RENT PROVISIONS
2.1 Grant of Premises. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay the rent and other charges as provided in this Lease and in consideration of the other terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant during the Term, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease.
2.2 Term/Renewal Option. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Expiration Date. The Commencement Date shall constitute the commencement of the term of this Lease for all purposes, whether or not Tenant has actually taken possession. If for any reason the Premises are not ready for occupancy by the Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be liable for any claims or damages by reason thereof, but in such event the expiration date of the Lease shall be extended by the number of days between the actual Commencement Date and the Commencement Date contemplated by this Lease. If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, including for the purpose of performing improvements pursuant to the Leasehold Improvements Rider attached hereto, Tenant shall comply with all of Tenant’s obligations in this Lease during the early occupancy period (including without limitation the provisions requiring Tenant to obtain insurance and to indemnify and exculpate Landlord) and Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, except for the payment of Base Rent which shall commence as set forth in Section 2.3. Early occupancy of the Premises shall not advance the expiration date of this Lease. Within ten (10) days of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall confirm the Commencement Date and other terms of this Lease by executing and delivering to Landlord the Commencement Date Agreement substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto. So long as there exists no uncured default under this Lease and not more than one monetary default occurred during the Term, then Tenant shall have the right to renew this Lease for the Renewal Term, if any, as more fully set forth on the Renewal Option Rider attached hereto.
2.3 Basic Rent. Beginning on March 1, 2005 and continuing throughout the first Lease Year of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the monthly installment ($8,200.50) of the annual Basic Rent as set forth in Article 1; provided, however, if such date is not the first day of a calendar month then the Basic Rent for the calendar month in which said payment occurs shall be prorated on the basis of the portion of such month which occurs during the Term. During the second and subsequent Lease Years throughout the Term, including any renewal or extensions thereof, the Basic Rent payable by Tenant shall be payable in advance on the first day of each month during the Term.
2.4 Annual Increases in Basic Rent. On the first day of the second and each subsequent Lease Year throughout the Term, the Basic Rent payable by Tenant shall be increased by 3%.
2.5 Operating Expenses. If the Operating Expenses for the Property, in any calendar year during the Term, exceed the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, Tenant agrees to pay as additional monthly rent the Proportionate Share of such excess Operating Expenses, as estimated by Landlord from time to time. During any partial calendar year of the Term (such as the year in which the Commencement Date occurs and the year in which the Terminates), Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall be adjusted based upon the actual number of days contained within the Term during such partial calendar year. By April 30th of each calendar year, Landlord will provide Tenant an itemized statement showing in reasonable detail all additional rent due (or any overpayments made) under this Section and Tenant (or Landlord, as the case may be) shall pay such amount within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be released of its obligation for such additional rent if Landlord fails to send Tenant a statement within the time specified above. In no event shall the Base Rent or other sums due under this Lease ever be reduced due to the operation of this Section 2.3 or to Operating Expenses being less for the Property than the Operating Expenses for the Base Year. The term “Operating Expenses” includes all expenses of Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, servicing, repairing and operation of the Property, including, but not limited to: maintenance, repair and replacement costs; electricity, water,
5
sewer, gas and other utility charges; window washing and janitorial services; trash and snow and ice removal; landscaping and pest control; management fees payable to third parties; wages and benefits payable to employees of Landlord’s property management company whose duties are directly connected with the operation and maintenance of the Property; all services, supplies, repairs, replacement or other expenses for maintaining and operating the Property including parking and Common Areas; me cost of any capital improvements made to the Property by Landlord, not to exceed $25,000.00 in any given Lease Year of the Term (notwithstanding, in any Lease Year in which such capital improvement costs exceed $25,000.00, Landlord may, in any succeeding Lease Year of the Term, charge to Tenant as an Operating Expense such excess amount, provided, however, that in no single Lease Year of the Term shall such capital improvement costs charged to Tenant exceed $25,00.00); the cost of installation of any device or other equipment which is installed to improve the operating efficiency of any system and reduce Operating Expenses, not to exceed $25,000.00 in any given Lease Year of the Term (notwithstanding, in any Lease Year in which such installation costs exceed $25,000.00, Landlord may, in any succeeding Lease Year of the Term, charge to Tenant as an Operating Expense such excess amount, provided, however, in no single Lease Year of the Term shall such installation costs charged to Tenant exceed $25,00.00); all real property taxes and installments of special assessments which accrue against the Property during the term of this Lease; governmental levies or charges of any kind or nature assessed or imposed on the Property, whether by state, county, city of any political subdivision thereof; all insurance premiums Landlord is required to pay or deems necessary to pay, including hazard insurance and public liability insurance, with respect to the Property; all amounts paid for liability and casualty loss pursuant to insurance deductible amounts; and any amounts considered an operating, maintenance or management expense under generally accepted accounting principles.
The term “Operating Expenses” does not include: expenses for repairs, restoration or other work occasioned by fire, wind, the elements or other casualty that are paid by insurance; income and franchise taxes of Landlord; expenses incurred in leasing to or procuring of tenants, leasing commissions, advertising expenses and expenses for the renovating of space for Landlord or for new tenants; interest or principal payments on any mortgage encumbering the Property; expenses for repairs or other work occasioned by condemnation, to the extent reimbursed by condemnation proceeds; any expense fully reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant or any other tenant of the Property, or any expenses billed to and paid directly by same for their own account or on Landlord’s behalf; or legal expenses incurred in connection with leasing the Property or enforcement of Property leases. Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
2.6 Late Payment Charge. Other remedies for nonpayment notwithstanding, if any monthly rental payment is not received by Landlord on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month for which the rent is due, or if any other payment hereunder due Landlord by Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days of the date such amount became due, Tenant shall pay the Late Charge multiplied by such past due amount, which shall become due and payable in addition to such amounts owed under this Lease. All amounts more than thirty (30) days past due shall accrue interest at the Default Rate;
2.7 Intentionally Omitted.
2.8 Holding Over. If Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be a Tenant at sufferance for the holdover period and all of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during that period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord (in addition to any other sums payable under this Lease) as Base Rent for the period of such holdover an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had the holdover period been a part of the original term of this Lease (without waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages as permitted by law). Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to vacate and deliver the Premises, and all keys thereto, to Landlord upon delivery to Tenant of notice from Landlord to vacate. The rent payable during the holdover period shall be payable to Landlord on demand. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without the consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend the term of this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims made by any tenant or prospective tenant against Landlord resulting from delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises to such other tenant or prospective tenant.
6
ARTICLE 3 — OCCUPANCY, USE AND OPERATIONS
3.1 Use. Tenant warrants and represents to the Landlord that the Premises shall be used and occupied only for the Permitted Use. Tenant shall occupy the Premises, conduct its business and control its agents, employees, invitees and visitors in such a manner as is lawful, reputable and will not create a nuisance to other occupants or tenants in the Building. Tenant shall not solicit business, distribute handbills or display merchandise within the Common Areas, or take any action which would interfere with the rights of other persons to use the Common Areas. Tenant shall not permit any operation which emits any odor or matter which intrudes into other portions of the Property, use any apparatus or machine which makes undue noise or causes vibration in any portion of the Property or otherwise interfere with, annoy or disturb any other tenant in its normal business operations or Landlord in its management of the Property. Tenant shall neither permit any waste on the Premises nor allow the Premises to be used in any way which would, in the opinion of Landlord, be extra hazardous on account of fire or which would in any way increase or render void the fire insurance on the Property. Tenant has inspected the Premises and the Building and accepts them in their present “AS-IS” condition. Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all applicable legal requirements and with the rules and regulations of the Property adopted or amended from time to time by Landlord.
3.2 Signs. Except as set forth herein, no signs of any type or description shall be erected, placed or painted in or about the Premises or Building except those signs submitted to Landlord in writing and approved by Landlord in writing, and which signs are in conformity with any governmental regulations, deed restrictions, statutes, etc. Landlord reserves the right to remove, at Tenant’s expense, all signs other than signs approved in writing by Landlord under this Section 3.2, without notice to Tenant and without liability to Tenant for any damages sustained by Tenant as a result thereof, and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. All such permitted signs shall, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, be maintained and repaired in first-class condition by Tenant through the Term. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, all signs installed by Tenant shall be removed and any damage resulting therefrom shall be promptly repaired, or such removal and repair may be done by Landlord and the cost charged to Tenant as additional rent.
3.3 Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of state, federal, municipal or other agencies or bodies having jurisdiction over the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall procure at its own expense all permits and licenses required for the transaction of its business in the Premises. Tenant will comply with the rules and regulations of the Property adopted by Landlord, which are set forth in Exhibit “D” attached to this Lease. If Tenant is not complying with such rules and regulations, or if Tenant is in any way not complying with this Article 3, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord may, at its election, enter the Premises without liability therefor and fulfill Tenant’s obligations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action. Landlord shall have the right at all times to change and amend the rules and regulations in any reasonable manner as it may deem advisable for the safety, care, cleanliness, preservation of good order and operation or use of the Property or the Premises. All changes and amendments to the rules and regulations of the Property will be forwarded by Landlord to Tenant in writing and shall thereafter be carried out and observed by Tenant. With respect to any alteration or installation of improvements, fixtures or facilities required by any legal requirement (including the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990), Tenant shall be responsible for compliance at its expense to the extent such requirement is applicable to the Premises. Landlord will, at its expense comply with any such requirement to the extent applicable to the Common Areas; provided, however, that to the extent that the requirement would not have applied but for this Lease or Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or an act or mission of Tenant, its employees, agents or invitees; or in the event Tenant occupies a full floor in the Building, then Tenant shall pay the cost of such compliance to Landlord on demand.
3.4 Environmental Matters. (a) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be used, stored, generated, or disposed of on or in the Premises by Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, or invitees. If Hazardous Materials are used, stored, generated, or disposed of on or in the Premises, or if the Premises become contaminated in any manner for which Tenant is legally liable, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold
7
harmless the Landlord, its officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities, expenses or losses (including, without limitation, a decrease in value of the Premises, damages caused by loss or restriction of rentable or usable space, or any damages caused by adverse impact on marketing of the space, and any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, litigation expenses, attorneys’ fees, court costs, consultant, and expert fees) of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising during or after the Lease term and arising as a result of that contamination by Tenant. This indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all costs incurred because of any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, or restoration mandated by a federal, state, or local agency or political subdivision as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Without limitation of the foregoing, if Tenant causes or permits the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises and that results in contamination, Tenant shall promptly, at its sole expense, take any and all necessary actions to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the presence of any such Hazardous Material on the Premises. Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s approval for any such remedial action. The provisions of this paragraph shall be in addition to any other obligations and liabilities Tenant may have to Landlord at law or equity and shall survive the transactions contemplated herein and shall survive the termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use nominal amounts of Hazardous Materials as are normal and customary for general office use, provided that Tenant complies with all applicable laws relating thereto.
(b) Tenant shall not discharge, leak, or emit, or permit to be discharged, leaked, or emitted, any material into the atmosphere, ground, sewer system, or any body of water, if that material (as is reasonably determined by the Landlord, or any governmental authority) does or may pollute or contaminate the same, or may adversely affect (i) the health, welfare, or safety of persons, whether located on the Premises or elsewhere, or (ii) the condition, use or enjoyment of the building or any other real or personal property. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any release of any Hazardous Material on or near the Premises whether or not such release is in a quantity that would otherwise be reportable to a public agency and shall also comply with the notification requirements of any applicable state, local, or federal law or regulation.
3.5 Warranty of Possession. Landlord and Tenant each warrants that it has the right and authority to execute this Lease, and Landlord warrants to Tenant, that upon payment of the required rents by Tenant and subject to the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have possession of the Premises during the full term of this Lease, without hindrance from Landlord or any person or persons lawfully claiming the Premises by, through or under Landlord (but not otherwise); subject, however, to all mortgages, deeds of trust, leases and agreements to which this Lease is subordinate and to all laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any governmental authority.
3.6 Inspection. Landlord or its authorized agents shall at any and all reasonable times and upon fourty-eight (48) hours prior notice (except in the event of an emergency or to provide any service or repair required hereunder) have the right to enter the Premises, during normal business hours of Tenant, to inspect the same, to show the Premises to prospective mortgagees, purchasers or prospective Tenants, and to alter of improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Property. Tenant hereby waives any claim for abatement or reduction of rent or for any damages for injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, for any loss of occupancy or use of the Premises, and for any other loss occasioned thereby. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises. Tenant shall not change Landlord’s lock system or in any other manner prohibit Landlord from entering the Premises. Landlord shall have the right at all times to enter the Premises by any means in the event of an emergency without liability therefor. Landlord and any other person who enters the Premises for the purposes set forth in this Section 3.6 shall, where practical, use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with the business operations of Tenant and shall abide by all requirements of confidentiality imposed on Tenant by law or regulation.
3.7 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied against leasehold improvements, merchandise, personal property, trade fixtures and all other taxable property located in the Premises. If any such taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of personal property and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, Tenant
8
shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable pursuant to the terms of this Section. Tenant shall pay when due any and all taxes related to Tenant’s use and operation of its business in the Premises.
ARTICLE 4 - UTILITIES AND SERVICES
4.1 Building Services. During the Term, Landlord shall provide (a) water at those points of supply provided for general use of other Tenants in the Building and electricity for use in the Premises, (b) central heating and air conditioning in season, and at temperatures and in amounts as are common for bank offices in San Rafael, California or in compliance with any governmental regulations, such service at times other than regular hours to be furnished upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice from Tenant, who shall bear the entire cost thereof at the rate established by Landlord, (c) self-operated passenger elevator service, if applicable, and (d) janitorial service for the Building and Common Areas which shall only include, however, the sweeping and cleaning of floors, the cleaning of lavatories and toilets located in Common Areas, the washing of exterior windows, the dusting of light fixtures and air grills, and the disposal of trash from the Building and Common Areas, but shall not include janitorial service to the Premises. Tenant shall pay all telephone and telecommunications charges and shall provide all services not enumerated in this Section. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, provide additional services not enumerated herein. Failure by Landlord to any extent to provide these defined services or any other services not enumerated, or any cessation thereof, shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either person or property, be construed as an eviction of Tenant, work an abatement of rent or relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant in this Lease. If any of the equipment or machinery useful or necessary for provision of utility services, and for which Landlord is responsible, breaks down, or for any cause ceases to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of any interruption in service occasioned from the repairs. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make changes in the utilities and services provided by Landlord to the Property. Tenant shall pay all telephone charges and all utilities which are separately metered to the Premises.
4.2 Theft or Burglary. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for losses to Tenant’s property or personal injury caused by criminal acts or entry by any person into the Premises or the Property.
4.3 Excessive Utility Consumption. Tenant shall pay all utility costs occasioned by electrodata processing machines, telephone equipment, computers and other equipment of high electrical consumption as determined by Landlord, including (without limitation) the cost of installing, servicing and maintaining any special or additional inside or outside wiring or lines, meters or submeters, transformers, poles, air conditioning costs, or the cost of any other equipment necessary to increase the amount or type of electricity or power available to the Premises.
ARTICLE 5 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 Landlord Repairs. Landlord shall not be required to make any improvements, replacements or repairs of any kind or character to the Premises during the term of this Lease except as are set forth in this Section. Landlord shall maintain only the roof, foundation, parking and Common Areas, the structural soundness of the exterior walls, doors, corridors, windows and other structures or equipment serving the Premises, including the electrical system and HVAC systems. Landlord’s cost of maintaining, replacing and repairing the items set forth in this Section are subject to the additional rent provisions in Section 2.5. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, except as expressly provided in this Lease, for any damage or inconvenience, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of any maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations or additions made by Landlord under this Lease. All requests for repairs or maintenance that are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to this Lease must be made in writing to Landlord.
5.2 Tenant Repairs. Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall perform such maintenance, repairs and replacements as are required in order to keep the Premises in a first-class condition (except only for those items that are the responsibility of Landlord under Section 5.1) and shall repair or replace any damage or injury to all or any
9
part of the Premises and/or the Property, caused by any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, invitees, licensees or visitors.
5.3 Tenant Damages. Tenant shall not allow any damage to be committed on any portion of the Premises or Property, and at the termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall deliver the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as existed at the Commencement Date of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear and approved changes to the Premises excepted. The cost and expense of any repairs necessary to restore the condition of the Premises shall be borne by Tenant.
ARTICLE 6 - ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
6.1 Construction. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not undertaken to perform any modification, alteration or improvements to the Premises, and Tenant further waives any defects in the Premises and accepts (1) the Premises as suitable for the purpose for which they are leased and (2) the Property and every part and appurtenance thereof as being in good and satisfactory condition.
6.2 Tenant Improvements. Subject to the Leasehold Improvements Rider attached hereto, Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, physical additions or improvements in or to the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent may in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord he denied. Landlord’s failure to respond in writing to Tenant’s request for any alterations, physical additions or improvements within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof shall be deemed Landlord’s disapproval of such request. Any alterations, physical additions or improvements to the Premises made by or installed by either party hereto shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises and become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without credit to Tenant; provided, however, Landlord, at its option, may require Tenant to remove any physical improvements or additions and/or repair any alterations in order to restore the Premises to the condition existing at the time Tenant took possession, all costs of removal and/or alterations to be borne by Tenant. This clause shall not apply to moveable equipment, furniture or moveable trade fixtures owned by Tenant, which may be removed by Tenant at the end of the term of this Lease if Tenant is not then in default and if such equipment and furniture are not then subject to any other rights, liens and interests of Landlord. Tenant shall have no authority or power, express or implied, to create or cause any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind against the Premises, the Property or any portion thereof. Tenant shall promptly cause any such liens that have arisen by reason of any work claimed to have been undertaken by or through Tenant to be released by payment, bonding or otherwise within ten (10) days after Tenant first has notice thereof, and shall indemnify and defend Landlord against liability or loss arising out of any such claim (including, without limitation, legal fees and court costs).
6.3 Common and Service Area Alterations. Landlord shall have the right to decorate and to make repairs, alterations, additions, changes or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in, about or on the Property or any part thereof, and to change, alter, relocate, remove or replace service areas and/or Common Areas, to place, inspect, repair and replace in the Premises (below floors, above ceilings or next to columns) utility lines, pipes and the like to serve other areas of the Property outside the Premises and to otherwise alter or modify the Property, and for such purposes to enter upon the Premises and, during the continuance of any such work, to take such measures for safety or for the expediting of such work as may be required, in Landlord’s judgment, all without affecting any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such actions do not prevent access to the Premises by Tenant’s regulators.
6.4 Security System. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of detailed plans and specifications, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall be permitted to install a security monitoring alarm system (“Security System”) within the Premises. Tenant shall pay all costs of installation and maintenance of the Security System. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord and arising from Tenant’s installation, use, operation, or removal of the Security System, or the existence of the Security System within the Premises. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, if Landlord so directs in it’s prior written approval
10
provided for hereunder, remove the Security System and restore the Premises to the same condition as such were in prior to installation of the Security System.
ARTICLE 7 - CASUALTY AND INSURANCE
7.1 Substantial Destruction. If the Premises should be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if in the determination of Landlord the Premises should be damaged so that rebuilding cannot reasonably be completed substantially within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, either Tenant or Landlord may, by written notice, terminate this Lease: or if the Premises are damaged or destroyed by casualty not covered by the standard broad form of fire and extended coverage insurance then in common use in the state where the Premises are located, or if the insurance proceeds received by Landlord from its insurance are not sufficient to completely restore the damage or destruction, or if all or any portion of such insurance proceeds are required by its lender to be applied against debt owed to such lender, or if the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then, at Landlord’s sole option, this Lease may be terminated and, in such event, the rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease, effective as of the date of the damage.
7.2 Partial Destruction. If following damage or destruction to the Premises by fire or other casualty, this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the Building or other improvements to substantially the same conditions in which they existed prior to the damage. If the Premises are to be rebuilt or repaired and are untenantable in whole or in part following the damage, and the damage or destruction was not caused or contributed to by act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or those for whom Tenant is responsible, the Base Rent payable under this Lease during the period for which the Premises are untenantable shall be reduced to an amount determined by multiplying the Base Rent that would otherwise be payable but for this provision by the ratio that the portion of the Premises not rendered untenantable bears to the total area of the Premises prior to the casualty, Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or restore under this Section shall be limited to restoring to substantially the condition in which the same-existed prior to the casualty, and Tenant shall, promptly after the completion of such work by Landlord, proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to otherwise make the Premises suitable for Tenant’s use.
7.3 Property Insurance. Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Lease insure the Property against all risk of direct physical loss in an amount and with such deductibles as Landlords considers appropriate; provided, Landlord shall have the right to self-insure against the above-described risks and Landlord shall not be obligated in any way or manner to insure any personal property (including, but not limited to, any furniture, machinery, goods or supplies) of Tenant upon or within the Premises, any fixtures installed or paid for by Tenant upon or within the Premises, or any improvements which Tenant may construct on the Premises. Tenant shall have no right in or claim to the proceeds of any policy of insurance maintained by Landlord even if the cost of such insurance is borne by Tenant as set forth in Article 2.
7.4 Waiver of Recovery. ANYTHING IN THIS LEASE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE AND RELEASE EACH OTHER OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL RIGHT OF RECOVERY, CLAIM, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION, AGAINST EACH OTHER, THEIR AGENTS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR TO THE PREMISES, IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROPERTY, OR PERSONAL PROPERTY WRITHIN THE PROPERTY, BY REASON OF FIRE OR THE ELEMENTS OR ANY CAUSE THAT IS, OR IS REQUIRED BY THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE TO BE INSURED AGAINST, (WHETHER OR NOT ACTUALLY INSURED) REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD OR TENANT AND THEIR AGENTS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES, AND STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY KIND, REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PROCEEDS, IF ANY, PAYABLE UNDER SUCH INSURANCE. LANDLORD AND TENANT AGREE IMMEDIATELY TO GIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE INSURANCE COMPANIES WHICH HAVE ISSUED POLICIES OF INSURANCE COVERING ALL RISK OF DIRECT PHYSICAL LOSS, WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE TERMS OF THEMUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION, AND TO HAVE THE INSURANCE POLICIES PROPERTY ENDORSED, IF NECESSARY, TO PREVENT THE INVALIDATION OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGES BY REASON OF THE MUTUAL WAIVERS.

7.5 Hold Harmless. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant’s customers, employees, agents, guests or invitees, or to any other person whomever, for any injury to persons or damage to property on or about the Premises or the Common Area, including but not limited to, consequential damage, (1) caused by any act or omission of Tenant, its employees, subtenants, licensees and concessionaires or of any other person entering the Property or the Premises by express or implied invitation of Tenant, or (2) arising out of the use of the Premises or the Property by Tenant, its employees, subtenants, licensees, concessionaires or invitees, or (3) arising out of any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of its obligations hereunder, or (4) caused by the improvements located in the Premises becoming out of repair or by defect in or failure of equipment, pipes, or wiring, or by broken glass, or by the backing up of drains, or by gas, water, steam, electricity or oil leaking, escaping or flowing into the Premises or Property, or (5) arising out of the failure or cessation of any service provided by Landlord (including security service and devices). Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from any liability, loss, expense or claim (including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) (a) caused by any act or omission of Tenant, its employees, subtenants, licensees and concessionaires or of any other person entering the Property or the Premises by express or implied invitation of Tenant, or (b) arising out of the use of the Premises or the Property by Tenant, its employees, subtenants, licensees, concessionaires or invitees, or (c) arising out of any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of its obligations hereunder. Nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other Tenants of the Property or of any other persons whomsoever, excepting only duly authorized employees and agents of Landlord acting within the scope of their authority. Further, Tenant specifically agrees to be responsible for and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all damages or expenses of whatever kind arising out of or caused by a burglary, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief or other illegal acts performed in, at or from the Premises, except for damages or expenses resulting from Landlord’s, or Landlord’s agents’ employees’, officers’, or directors’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Tenant at all times during the Term shall, at its-own expense, keep in full force and effect comprehensive general liability insurance with “personal injury” coverage and contractual liability coverage, with minimum limits of $3,000,000.00 on account of bodily injuries to, or death of, on or more than one person as the result of any one accident or occurrence and $1,000,000.00 on account of damage to property. Tenant shall also carry insurance against fire and such other risks as are from time to time included in Standard All-Risk Insurance (including coverage against vandalism and malicious mischief) for the full insurable value of Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, wall covering, carpeting, drapes, equipment and all items of personal property of Tenant located on or in the Premises. Landlord and First States Management Corp., LLC. (Landlord’s property management company) shall be named as additional insureds on said policy. All insurance policies or duly executed certificates for the same required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premium thereof, shall be deposited with Landlord on the date Tenant first occupies the Premises and upon renewals of such policies not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage. All insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this lease shall be in form and content, and written by insurers acceptable to Landlord, in its sole discretion. If Tenant shall fail to comply with any of the requirements contained relating to insurance, Landlord may obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand as additional rent hereunder, the premium cost thereof
ARTICLE 8 - CONDEMNATION
8.1 Substantial Taking. If in the determination of Landlord all or a substantial part of the Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and in the determination of Landlord the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which it is then being used, this Lease shall, at the option of either Landlord or Tenant, terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.
8.2 Partial Taking. If in the determination of Landlord a portion of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 8.1 above, Landlord shall restore and
12
reconstruct, to the extent of condemnation proceeds (excluding any proceeds for land) actually received after the exercise by any mortgagee of the Property of an option to apply such proceeds against Landlord’s debt to such mortgagee, the Property and other improvements on the Premises to the extent necessary to make it reasonably Tenantable. The rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the term shall be reduced to an amount determined by multiplying the Base Rent that would otherwise be payable but for this provision by the ratio that the portion of the Premises not rendered untenantable due to such taking bears to the total area of the Premises prior to the taking. If Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration and reconstruction within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of physical possession by the condemning authority, Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord, whereupon all rights and obligations of this Lease shall cease to exist.
8.3 Condemnation Proceeds. All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof), whether for the whole or a part of the Premises, shall be the property of Landlord (whether such award is compensation for damages to Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Premises), and Tenant hereby assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for loss of business or for taking of Tenant’s fixtures and other property within the Premises if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.
ARTICLE 9 - ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE
9.1 Tenant Assignment. Tenant shall not assign, in whole or in part, this Lease, or allow it to be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, by merger, dissolution or transfer of a controlling interest in any partnership or corporate Tenant, which merger, dissolution or transfer shall be deemed an assignment) or mortgage or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In considering whether to consent, Landlord may take into account, among other factors, the reputation and creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, the type of business proposed, the desires of other occupants and Tenants in the Building, whether Tenant is likely to remain in the city where the Premises are located (so Tenant may respond if the proposed transferee subsequently defaults) and any other matters Landlord believes are pertinent. In no event shall any such assignment or sublease ever release Tenant or any guarantor from any obligation or lability hereunder. No assignee or sublessee of the Premises of any portion thereof may assign or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A change in control as defined under 12 C.F.R. 303.80 or merger transaction pursuant to 12 C.F.R. 303.60 shall not be deemed an assignment. Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice within thirty (30) days from consummation of such event.
9.2 Landlord Assignment. Landlord shall have the right to sell, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease and in the Property. Any such sale, transfer or assignment shall operate to release Landlord from any and all liabilities under this Lease arising after the date of such sale, assignment or transfer.
9.3 Rights of Mortgagee. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any recorded lease, mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust lien presently existing, if any, or hereafter encumbering the Property and any renewals, modifications, extensions or replacements thereof and to all existing ordinances and recorded restrictions, covenants, easements, and agreements with respect to the Property. Landlord hereby is irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate Tenant’s interest under this Lease to any mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust lien hereafter placed on the Property, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute additional instruments subordinating this Lease as Landlord may require. Upon any foreclosure, or any other transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property, whether or not in connection with a mortgage, Tenant hereby does, and hereafter agrees to attorn to the purchaser at such foreclosure sale or to the grantee under any deed in lieu of foreclosure or to any other transferee of Landlord’s interest, and shall recognize such purchaser, grantee, or other transferee as Landlord under this Lease, and no further attornment or other agreement shall be required to effect or evidence Tenant’s attornment to and recognition of such purchaser or grantee as Landlord hereunder. Such agreement of Tenant to attorn shall survive any such foreclosure sale, trustee’s sale, conveyance in lieu thereof, or any other transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property. Tenant, upon demand, at any time, before or after any such
13
foreclosure sale, trustee’s sale, conveyance in lieu thereof, or other transfer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the mortgagee any written instruments and certificates evidencing such attornment as the mortgagee or other prospective transferee may reasonably require, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing, acknowledging, and delivering any such instruments and certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied in this Section (i), any mortgagee under any mortgage shall have the right at any time to subordinate any such mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as the mortgagee in its discretion may consider appropriate and (ii) the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder are subject to applicable banking regulations.
9.4 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees to furnish, from time to time, within fourteen (14) days after receipt of a request from Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee, a statement certifying to the extent requested (a) the length of the Term; the Commencement Date and the Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of this Lease; the amount of the Base Rent; and (b) the following, if true (or if not, specifying why not): Tenant is in possession of the Premises; the Lease is in full force and effect; the Lease is unmodified (except as disclosed in such statement); Tenant claims no present charge, lien or claim of offset against rent; the rent is paid for the current month, but is not prepaid for more than one (1) month and will not be prepaid for more than one (1) month in advance; there is no existing default by Landlord; Landlord has performed all inducements required by Landlord in connection with this Lease, including construction obligations, and Tenant accepts the Premises as constructed; and such other matters as may be reasonably required by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee. Any statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building or any interest therein. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant: (1) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (2) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (3) that not more than one month’s rental has been paid in advance. Tenant’s failure to deliver said statement to Landlord within ten (10) working days of receipt shall constitute a material default under this Lease and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, terminate the Lease, provided written notice of such termination is received by Tenant prior to Landlord’s receipt of said statement.
ARTICLE 10 - LIENS
10.1 Liens Arising from Tenant’s Work. Tenant shall not suffer or permit the interest of Landlord in either the Premises or the Property to be subject to any construction, mechanics’, materialman’s liens or liens of any kind. All parties with whom Tenant may deal are put on notice that Tenant has no power to subject Landlord’s interest to any claim or lien of any kind or character, and all such persons so dealing with Tenant must look solely to the credit of Tenant, and not to Landlord’s assets or interest. Tenant shall put all such parties with whom Tenant may deal on notice of the terms of this Section. If at any time a lien or encumbrance is filed against either the Premises or the Property as a result of Tenant’s work, materials, or obligations, Tenant shall promptly discharge said lien or encumbrance by payment or bond.
ARTICLE 11 - DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

14
11.2 Remedies for Tenant’s Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the remedies set forth in this Section 11.2 without any additional notice or demand:
(1) Without declaring the Terminated, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises, by legal process, and lock out, expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying all or any part of the Premises without being liable for any claim for damages, and relet the Premises on behalf of Tenant and receive the rent directly by reason of the reletting. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of any reletting of the Premises; further, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for any expenditures made by it in order to relet the Premises, including, but not limited to, remodeling and repair costs.
(2) Without declaring the Terminated, Landlord may enter upon the Premises, by legal process, without being liable for any claim for damages, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; further, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.
(3) Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises, by legal process, and lock out, expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may he occupying all or any part of the Premises without being liable for any claim for damages. Tenant agrees to pay on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer-for any reason due to the termination of this Lease under this Section 11.2, including (without limitation) loss and damage due to the failure of Tenant to maintain and/or repair the Premises as required hereunder and/or due to the inability of Landlord to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise.
(4) Landlord may accelerate and xxx for the entire balance of the unpaid rent for the remainder of the Term, whereupon, Tenant shall immediately become liable for and pay on demand to Landlord all Base Rent and other charges payable for the period that, but for such termination, would have constituted the remainder of the Term in addition to all past due Base Rent and other charges unpaid by Tenant.
(5) Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies that are available under the laws of the state where the Property is located and applicable federal law.
In addition to any other remedy set forth in this Lease, if Landlord has made rent concessions of any type or character, or waived any Base Rent, and Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date or otherwise defaults at any time during the term of this Lease, the rent concessions, including any waived Base Rent, shall be cancelled, and the amount of the waived Base Rent or other rent concessions shall be due and payable immediately as if no rent concessions or waiver of any Base Rent had ever been granted. A rent concession or waiver of the Base Rent shall not relieve Tenant of any obligation to pay any other charge due and payable under this Lease, including, without limitation, any sum due under Section 2.4 of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, this Lease may be terminated by Landlord only by written notice of such termination to Tenant given in accordance with this Lease, and no other act or omission of Landlord shall be construed as a termination of this Lease. If Tenant defaults under this Lease at anytime during the Term, and Landlord elects any remedy described in subparts (1) through (5), in addition to any other remedies to which Landlord is entitled, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within five (5) days of demand, the unamortized amount of the leasing commission paid to any broker in connection with this Lease.
15
11.3 Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Landlord herein or existing at law or in equity are cumulative and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to the exercise of any other.
11.4 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease unless and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of such default; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If Landlord, after expiration of any applicable cure period, is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease as set forth in this Section 11.4, Tenant may xxx for injunctive relief, specific performance, and/or damages as the case may be.
ARTICLE 12 - [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
ARTICLE 13 - MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Waiver. Failure of Landlord to declare an event of default immediately upon its occurrence, or delay in taking any action in connection with an event of default, shall not constitute a waiver of the default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare the default at any time and take such action as is lawful or authorized under this Lease. Pursuit of any one or more of the remedies set forth in Article 11 above shall not preclude pursuit of any remedy hereunder or at law constitute forfeiture or waiver of any rent or damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions or covenants of this Lease. Failure by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies provided hereunder or at law upon any event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of the default or of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease. Landlord may collect and receive rent due from Tenant without waiving or affecting any rights or remedies that Landlord may have at law or in equity or by virtue of this Lease at me time of such payment. Institution of a forcible detainer action to re-enter the Premises shall not be construed to be an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
13.2 Act of God. Landlord shall not be required to perform any covenant or obligation in this Lease, or be liable in damages to Tenant, so long as the performance or non-performance of the covenant or obligation is delayed, caused or prevented by an act of God, force majeure or by Tenant.
13.3 Attorneys’ Fees. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease and Landlord places in the hands of any attorney the enforcement of all or any part of this Lease, the collection of any rent or other sums due or to become due, or recovery of the possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether suit is actually filed or not. If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease and Tenant places in the hands of any attorney the enforcement of all or any part of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay Tenant’s costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether suit is actually filed or not.

If any representation or warranty contained in this Section is false, each person who executes this Lease shall be jointly and severally liable, individually, as Tenant hereunder.
13.7 Multiple Tenants. If this Lease is executed by more than one person or entity as “Tenant”, each such person or entity shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. It is expressly understood that any one of the named Tenants shall be empowered to execute any modification, amendment, exhibit, floor plan, or other document herein referred to and bind all of the named Tenants thereto; and Landlord shall be entitled to rely on same to the extent as if all of the named Tenants had executed same.

13.9 Interpretation. The captions appearing in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope of intent of any Section. Grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply (a) in the plural sense where there is more than one Tenant, and (b) to either corporations, associations, partnerships or individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

Any such payment shall be paid concurrently with the payment of the rent, additional rent, or other charge upon which the tax is based as set forth above.
13.11 Submission of Lease. Submission of this Lease to Tenant for signature does not constitute a reservation of space or an option to lease. This Lease is not effective until execution by and delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.
13.12 Severability. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Lease and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. Each covenant and agreement contained in this Lease shall be construed to be a separate
17
and independent covenant and agreement, and the breach of any such covenant or agreement by Landlord shall not discharge or relieve Tenant from Tenant’s obligation to perform each and every covenant and agreement of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.
13.13 Landlord’s Liability. The liability of Landlord for any breach or default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease, or otherwise for whatever reason regarding this Lease or the Property, whether such liability is in contract, tort or otherwise, shall, in each instance, be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Property, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Property as the same may then be encumbered, for the recovery of any judgment against Landlord, it being intended and agreed that neither Landlord nor, in any event, any person or entity comprising, owning or affiliated with Landlord, or any of the partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and representatives of Landlord or any such person or entity, shall ever be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency.

This waiver is knowingly, willingly and voluntarily made by Tenant and Tenant hereby represents that no representations of fact or opinion have been made by any individual to induce this waiver of trial by jury or to in any way modify or nullify its effect. Tenant further represents that it has been represented in the signing of this Lease and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel, or has had the opportunity to be represented by independent legal counsel selected of its own free will, and that it has had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel

8. Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that its employees and agents do not park their cars in visitor parking spaces or in parking spaces or areas, if any, reserved or designated by Landlord for the use of other Tenants or for other purposes. Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord the state automobile license numbers of automobiles of Tenant and its employees who will occupy Spaces from time to time within five (5) days from its receipt of written notice from Landlord requesting such information. At no cost to Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to utilize whatever security device Landlord deems necessary (including but not limited to the issuance of parking stickers or access cards), to insure that only those tenants and their invitees and customers entitled to use Spaces in the designated parking areas are using such Spaces.

4. Construction. Tenant will cause the leasehold improvements to be constructed, at its cost and expense, in a good and workmanlike manner, in substantial accordance with the Final Drawings (“Tenant’s Work”), and in accordance with all applicable legal requirements.
(a) Permits. In connection with Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall file all drawings, plans and specifications, pay all fees and obtain all permits and applications from any authorities having jurisdiction; and Tenant shall promptly obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy and all other approvals required of Tenant to use and occupy the Leased Premises and to open for business with the public.
(b) Approval. Prior to the commencement of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a list of contractors and/or subcontractors who will perform Tenant’s Work or Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, require that the work be done by a contractor selected by Landlord (which shall be deemed for purposes of this Rider to be Tenant’s contractor). In addition, Tenant and its contractors and subcontractors shall comply with Landlord’s building guidelines applicable to construction of Tenant’s Work. If any of Tenant’s Work relates to areas or conditions over which Landlord requires sole control, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s discretion to perform (or have Landlord’s contractor perform) such portion of Tenant’s Work at Tenant’s expense.
(c) Insurance. Tenant and/or Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall be required to provide, in addition to the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to the Lease, the following types of insurance and the following minimum amounts, naming Landlord and any other persons having an interest in the building as “additional insureds” or “as their interests may appear”, issued by companies and in form and substance approved by Landlord:
(i) Xxxxxxx’x Compensation coverage with limits of at least $500,000.00 for the employer’s liability coverage thereunder.
(ii) All Risk Builders Risk on 100% Completed Value, covering damage to the construction and improvements to be made by Tenant with 100% coinsurance protection.
(iii) Automobile Liability coverage with bodily injury limits of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and $500,000.00 accident for property damage.
(iv) Other insurance reasonably required by Landlord.
Original or duplicate policies for all of the foregoing insurance shall be delivered to Landlord before Tenant’s Work is started and before any contractor’s or subcontractor’s equipment is moved on to any part of the Leased Premises.
(d) Liability during Construction. Tenant hereby assumes any and all liability arising out of or relating to Tenant’s Work or to the Leased Premises after the date hereof, including any liability arising out of statutory or common law for any and all injuries-to or death of any and all persons (including, without limitation, Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors and their employees) and any liability for any and all damage to property caused by, or resulting from, or arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Tenant, Tenant’s contractors and Tenant’s or their subcontractors or employees in the performance of Tenant’s Work, and Tenant further agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against all damages, claims, costs, liabilities, losses and/or expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or related to Tenant’s Work, including without limitation any and all such injuries, death and/or damage. Tenant agrees to insure the foregoing assumed contractual liability in its liability policies and the original or duplicate original of said policy that Tenant will deliver to Landlord shall expressly include said contractual liability coverage.
(e) Removal during Construction. Contractors and/or subcontractors participating in the Tenant’s Work shall be required to keep the Leased Premises and adjacent areas in a neat and clean condition and to remove and dispose of, as frequently as Landlord may direct, all debris and rubbish caused by, or resulting from the work and upon completion, to remove all temporary structures, surplus materials, debris and rubbish of whatever kind remaining on any part of the Leased Premises or in proximity thereto that was • brought in or created by the performance of Tenant’s Work. If at any time Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall neglect, refuse, or fail to remove any debris, rubbish, or surplus materials within twenty-four (24) hours after written notice to Tenant, Landlord may remove the same at Tenant’s expense.
(f) Utilities during Construction. Subject to the design capacity of the Building, Landlord shall furnish, water, electricity, and elevator service, to the Leased Premises for use by Tenant’s contractors in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Work during normal business hours at a cost to Tenant as determined by Landlord. Heating, venting and air conditioning to the Leased Premises during construction will be furnished by Landlord upon written request from Tenant or Tenant’s general contractor and will be charged to Tenant at a rate as determined by Landlord per floor during those hours which Tenant or Tenant’s general contractor requests such service be provided. Landlord shall designate the method established for scheduling elevators and advise Tenant of advance notice requirements to schedule and secure elevators for use in Tenant’s Work.
(g) Changes. All changes to the Final Drawings shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. If there are any changes, the Budget shall be revised to take into account any changes in the cost of performing Tenant’s Work, and the revised Budget shall be initialed by the parties. However, if the revised Budget is not so initialed or so attached, that shall not impair or release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations herein or otherwise adversely affect Landlord’s rights herein; Tenant’s Work (including any changes) shall be the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Leased Premises upon the expiration of the Lease term.
(h) Affidavits. Tenant shall cause to be filed and/or recorded such affidavits as Landlord requests regarding Tenant’s Work, including without limitation an affidavit of commencement of Tenant’s Work and an affidavit of completion of Tenant’s Work on the dates required by law to give proper effect thereto, or if requested by Landlord, on the dates specified by Landlord.
5. Completion Date. Tenant’s Work shall be completed by March 1, 2005 (“Completion Date”). If, for any reason, the Leased Premises are not ready for occupancy by Tenant on the Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be liable for any claims or damages by reason thereof and Tenant’s obligations to pay Base Rent and other charges shall nevertheless commence.
6. Waiver of Certain Remedies.
(a) Offsets. No sum payable to Tenant as the result of any breach or default by Landlord under this Rider shall be deducted from or offset against any rent or other sums payable under the Lease, unless Landlord (in Landlord’s discretion) consents thereto, and no such breach or default by Landlord under this Rider shall:
(i) be the subject of a defense or counterclaim in any action or proceeding brought by Landlord to enforce its rights under the Lease; or
(ii) excuse Tenant from the performance of any of its obligations under the Lease or relieve Tenant of any of its liabilities thereunder, except as defined in the Lease.
(b) Consequential Damages. Nothing contained in this Rider shall render Landlord liable to Tenant for consequential damages arising out of any breach or default under this Rider, including, without limitation, loss of use or income from the building or the Leased Premises or any equipment or facilities therein, whether by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.
(c) Liability. If Landlord shall be in default under this Rider or this Lease and, if as a consequence of such default, Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the right, title, and interest of Landlord in the Property as the same may then be encumbered and neither Landlord nor any person or entity comprising Landlord shall be liable for any deficiency. In no event shall Tenant have the right to levy execution against any property of Landlord nor any person or entity comprising Landlord other than its interest in the Property as herein expressly provided.
7. Assignment. This Rider and Tenant’s rights hereunder shall not be assigned by Tenant except to a permitted assignee of all of Tenant’s rights under the Lease and any other purported assignment by Tenant shall be null and void and of no force and effect. If Tenant shall properly assign Tenant’s rights hereunder, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations of this Rider on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed.
8. Notices. Any notice, or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner required by the notice provisions of the Lease, with a copy to Landlord’s Representative or Tenant’s Representative (as applicable) at their address as set forth herein.
9. Conflicts and Conformity with Lease. Any rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant relative to any matter not stated in this Rider shall be governed by the Lease. If there shall be any conflict between this Rider and the Lease, the provisions of this Rider shall prevail. As used herein, all capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Lease.
