2. | Granting Clause. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent and of the other terms, covenants, and conditions as herein provided, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes from Landlord, the Premises, for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that the individual executing this Lease on behalf of Xxxxxx has the full right and authority to enter into this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, and all corporate action necessary to do so has been duly taken, and no further action or approval is required in order to constitute this Lease as a binding and enforceable obligation of Tenant. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that the individual executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord has the full right and authority to enter into this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, and all corporate action necessary to do so has been duly taken, and no further action or approval is required in order to constitute this Lease as a binding and enforceable obligation of Landlord. |
3. | Acceptance of Premises. Tenant accepts the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Xxxxxx’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s intended purposes. In no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects in the Premises or any limitation on its use. No later than 10 business days after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Commencement Date Certificate in the form of Exhibit C. |
Subject to the vacation of the Premises by the existing tenant, if any, Landlord shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date and upon vacation of the Premises by the existing tenant, if any, for purposes of preparing the Premises for the commencement of Tenant’s normal business operations, subject to applicable ordinances and building codes governing Tenant’s right to occupy or perform in the Premises (“Early Occupancy”). During such Early Occupancy period prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be bound by its obligations under the Lease, including the obligation to provide evidence of insurance, but shall not be obligated to pay the Monthly Base Rent and Operating Expenses payable by Tenant to Landlord as set forth in the Lease.
4. | Use. The Premises shall be used for light manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals and for the purpose of receiving, storing, shipping and selling (but specifically excluding retail selling) such products, and for such other lawful purposes incidental thereto (including incidental office and warehouse uses). Tenant shall not conduct any auction, liquidation, or similar activities at the Premises, and will use the Premises, Building, and Project in a safe manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises, or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any outside storage, nuisance or objectionable odors, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the Premises. Tenant shall use the Premises in compliance with all federal, state, local, and municipal laws, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises (collectively, “Legal Requirements”). The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act, similar |
- 2 -
state statutes, local ordinances, or any related regulations, as may be amended from time to time. The Premises shall not be used for residential purposes. Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the Commencement Date, no written notice has been received by Landlord of non-compliance with any Legal Requirements in connection with the Premises. In the event that Landlord receives notice that the Premises is not in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements existing as of the Commencement Date and such non-compliance is not related to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises performed by Tenant, Landlord shall make such modifications as may be required by order or directive of applicable governmental authority in order to bring the Premises into compliance with applicable Legal Requirements as of the Commencement Date without cost or expense to Tenant and without including such cost or expense as an Operating Expense. Furthermore, in the event Landlord receives notice that the Premises is not in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements which come into effect after the Commencement Date and such non-compliance is not related to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises performed by Tenant, Landlord shall make such modifications as may be required by order or directive of applicable governmental authority in order to bring the Premises into compliance with applicable Legal Requirements which shall be chargeable to Tenant as an Operating Expense. Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications to the Premises or Project that are required by Legal Requirements as a result of Tenant’s specific use or occupation of the Premises. Any occupation of the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all obligations of Tenant under this Lease. |
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s use may include parking vehicles inside the Building temporarily overnight, provided that: (a) Tenant is solely responsible, at Tenant’s cost, for compliance with Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, Tenant’s design, permitting and installation of a carbon monoxide/nitrogen oxide (diesel exhaust) detection and ventilation system), and all fire department requirements and approvals in connection with such use, (b) there be no hot works (e.g. for example, and not in limitation, cutting or welding), or painting within 20 feet of any vehicles inside the Premises, and (c) Tenant comply with the requirements of insurers of the Premises and Building.
5. | Base Rent. The first month’s Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be due and payable upon execution of this Lease, which amounts shall be applied to the first month when such amounts become due and payable. Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, subsequent monthly installments of Base Rent on, or before, the first day of each calendar month following the Commencement Date (prorated for any fractional calendar month). All payments by Tenant to Landlord (or to such other party or at such location as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by Electronic Fund Transfer or Automated Clearing House. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent, Operating Expenses and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall not xxxxx, reduce, or set-off any amounts due and payable hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant is delinquent in any installment of Base Rent, Operating Expenses, or other amounts due and payable for more than 5 days, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies (and not as a penalty), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to eight percent (8%) of such delinquent sum. If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent, Operating Expenses, or other amount due and payable herein beyond 5 days after the due date thereof, and after written notice as provided below, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to eight percent (8%) of such delinquent sum. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay the late charge until Landlord has given Tenant 5 days written notice of the delinquent payment (which may be given at any time during the delinquency); provided, however, that such notice shall not be required more than twice in any 12-month period. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. |
6. | Operating Expenses. During each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual cost, as estimated by Landlord from time to time, of Tenant’s Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses for the Project or Building. Payments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. The term “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project including, but not limited to costs of: Taxes (hereinafter defined) and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes; insurance; utilities; maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Building, Premises, and Project, including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, non-structural components of exterior walls, non-structural components of the roofs (including the roof membrane), alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, snow removal, exterior painting, utility lines, fire sprinklers and fire protection systems, the current amortized portion of any capital repairs and replacements of all portions of the Building, Premises, and Project, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (as defined below), lighting, electrical systems and other mechanical and building systems; amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the foregoing; charges or assessments of any association to which the Project is subject; a property management or administration fee payable to a property manager, including Landlord, or any affiliate of Landlord, equal to three (3%) percent of gross receipts due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease; a deductible for all-risk property insurance not to exceed USD$25,000; security services, if any; trash collection, sweeping and debris removal; and additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Project or the Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other |
- 3 -
than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant) or that are appropriate to the continued operation of the Project or the Building as an industrial/warehouse facility in the market area, provided that the cost of additions or alterations that are required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a period equal to the useful life thereof as determined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. |
Operating Expenses do not include (a) debt service under mortgages or ground rent under ground leases; (b) leasing commissions, or the costs of renovating space for tenants; (c) repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or replacements made to rectify or correct any defect in the design, materials or workmanship of the Premises, the Building or the Project; (d) costs of repairs, restoration, replacements or other work occasioned by (i) fire, windstorm or other casualty (including the costs of any deductibles paid by Landlord) and either (aa) payable (whether paid or not) by insurance required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease, or (bb) otherwise paid by insurance then in effect obtained by Landlord (ii) the adjudicated negligence or adjudicated intentional tort of Landlord, or any representative, employee or agent of Landlord, (iii) the act of any other tenant in the Premises, the Building or the Project, or any other tenant’s agents, employees, licensees or invitees to the extent the applicable cost is, in the Landlord’s reasonable judgment, practically recoverable from such person; (e) costs incurred (less costs of recovery) for any items to the extent such amounts are, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, recoverable by Landlord under a manufacturer’s, materialman’s, vendor’s or contractor’s warranty; (f) non-cash items, such as deductions for depreciation and amortization of the Premises, the Building or the Project and the Premises, the Building or the Project equipment, or interest on capital invested; (g) legal fees, accountants’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with disputes with other tenants or occupants of the Premises, the Building or the Project or associated with the enforcement of any lease or defense of Landlord’s title to or interest in the Premises, the Building or the Project or any part thereof; (h) costs incurred due to violation by Landlord or any other tenant in the Premises, the Building or the Project of the terms and conditions of any lease; (i) the cost of any service provided to Tenant or other occupants of the Premises, the Building or the Project for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed; (j) charitable or political contributions; (k) interest, penalties or other costs arising out of Landlord’s failure to make timely payments of its obligations; or (l) costs, expenses, depreciation or amortization for repairs and replacements required to be made by Landlord under Paragraph 11 of this Lease.
If Tenant’s total payments of Operating Expenses for any year are less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within 30 days after demand, and if more, then Landlord shall either, at Landlord’s option, retain such excess and credit it against Tenant’s next payments of Operating Expenses or pay such refund to Tenant, except that during the last calendar year of the Lease Term or any extension terms thereof, Landlord shall refund any such excess within 60 days following the termination of the Lease Term or any extension terms thereof, provided that Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease. Any payment required to be paid by Landlord after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease shall be delivered to the most recent address Tenant has provided to Landlord. With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the entire Project or just the Building, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Lease as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Building (as applicable) as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises, Building, or the Project. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant’s Proportionate Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Project or Building that includes the Premises or that varies with Xxxxxx’s use. The estimated Operating Expenses for the Premises set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Lease are only estimates, and Landlord makes no guaranty or warranty that such estimates will be accurate.
7. | Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be due and payable to Landlord within ten (10) business days after the execution of this Lease (but in no event later than the commencement of any Early Occupancy), and shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit, or a measure of Landlord’s damages in an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined). Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may use all, or part of, the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Xxxxxxxx’s obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, and any remaining amount of the Security Deposit shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts, and no interest shall accrue thereon. Landlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease and the Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations. |
The Security Deposit under the Lease shall be USD$150,000.00, in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit from a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in compliance with the material terms shown in Exhibit G attached hereto (“Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall either provide that it does not expire until 60 days following the Expiration Date or, if it is for less than the full Lease Term, shall be renewed by Tenant
- 4 -
at least 60 days prior to its expiration during the Lease Term. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it may be drawn down upon by Landlord at any time Landlord delivers its site draft to the bank. If Landlord sells or conveys the Premises, Tenant shall, at Xxxxxxxx’s request, cooperate in having the Letter of Credit transferred to the purchaser and Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in the event of such transfer. If the Letter of Credit is ever drawn upon by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days thereafter cause the Letter of Credit to be restored to the then existing amount at the time immediately prior to the draw down.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant fails to renew the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Paragraph 7, or in the event that Tenant shall commence any proceeding for relief, as defined in Paragraph 24(b) of the Lease, an immediate Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred, without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure, in which case Landlord may immediately draw down on the Letter of Credit.
8. | Utilities. Tenant shall pay the utility provider directly for all separately metered, or contracted public and private utilities serving the Premises, including, but not limited to, water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, and trash collection, along with any taxes, penalties, or surcharges with respect to such utilities. Interruptions or failures of utilities shall not result in a default by Landlord, termination of this Lease, or the abatement of rent. |
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that such interruption or cessation of utilities results from Landlord’s negligent or willful act or omission, and continues beyond five (5) consecutive business days from the date of such interruption or cessation, then, provided Xxxxxx has delivered Landlord with prompt notice of such interruption, the rent under this Lease will xxxxx, commencing on the sixth (6th) consecutive business day the Premises remain untenantable, and continuing until the date on which the utilities are restored and the Premises are again tenantable. No abatement of rentals as hereinabove described will apply in the event such interruption of utilities is the result of Tenant’s alterations to the Premises, or any negligent act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, or any cause other than the negligent or willful act or omission of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors.
9. | Taxes. Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, and reasonable and customary fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes (collectively referred to as “Taxes”) that accrue against the Building or Project during the Lease Term, which shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. Landlord may contest the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes. All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any franchise tax, excise, use, margin, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from or the value of the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any inheritance taxes or net income taxes imposed on Landlord unless such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, or the Premises, or results from any Tenant-Made Alterations (defined below), or against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises, then Tenant shall pay such tax or excise as required by the taxing authority, even if levied or assessed against the Landlord. In no event shall Tenant be responsible for any fines, penalties or interest incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay any Taxes when due. |
10. | Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building and commercial general liability insurance on the Project in forms and amounts customary for properties substantially similar to the Building and Project which may be included in a blanket policy or captive insurance program (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project or Building will be determined by Landlord based upon the total insurance cost calculations). Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, rent loss insurance. All insurance premiums incurred by Landlord with respect to the Project shall be included in Operating Expenses. Tenant will not use the Premises in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any insurance credits. If an increase in the cost of any insurance on the Building or the Project is caused by Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord. |
Tenant, at its sole expense, shall at all times maintain the following insurance: (i) commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, covering Tenant, and its activities at the Project, having a minimum limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence (which requirement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess policy limits); and in the event property of Tenant’s invitees or customers are kept in the Premises or Project, Tenant shall maintain warehouser’s legal liability or bailee customers insurance for the full value of such property as determined by the warehouse contract between Tenant and its customer; (ii) all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements placed in the Premises by, or on behalf of, Tenant; (iii) workers’ compensation insurance as required by the applicable state statute (or equivalent coverage reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the event there is no such statutory requirement) which shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord, Prologis, Inc., its affiliates, and property manager (Landlord and such parties are collectively referred to herein as the “Landlord Parties”); (iv) employers liability insurance of at least
- 5 -
$1,000,000, (v) business automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence which can be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess policy limits insuring Tenant against liability arising out of the ownership maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned vehicles, and (vi) business interruption insurance covering at least 6 months of income. Tenant’s insurance companies shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII and provide primary and non-contributory coverage to the Landlord Parties (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies). All commercial general liability policies shall name the Landlord Parties as additional insureds. The limits and types of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of such insurance in forms reasonably acceptable to Landlord prior to the date Tenant is in possession of the Premises, and thereafter at least 15 days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage, or 15 days following Xxxxxx’s receipt of Landlord’s request for such certificates. Acceptance by Landlord of delivery of any certificates of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements of this section have been met. In the event any of the insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall be cancelled, or if Tenant receives notice of any cancellation from the insurer prior to the expiration date of such policy, Tenant shall promptly replace such insurance policy in order to assure no lapse of coverage shall occur.
The all-risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord, and Landlord Parties or Tenant, and Tenant Parties (as defined in Paragraph 30), in connection with any insured loss or damage. Neither party, nor its Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties (as applicable), shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk property insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and against the Landlord Parties and Tenant Parties (as applicable) for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Neither party, nor the Landlord Parties and Tenant Parties, shall be liable to the other for any business interruption loss incurred, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and the Landlord Parties and Tenant Parties, for such business interruption loss from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligent acts of the other party at the Premises or the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, or Tenant Parties, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s all-risk property insurance deductible, not to exceed $25,000 per occurrence, within thirty (30) days following notice for such amount.
11. | Landlord’s Repairs and Maintenance. Landlord shall repair, at its expense and without pass through as an Operating Expense, the structural soundness of the roof (which does not include the roof membrane, the costs of which will be included in Operating Expenses), the structural soundness of the foundation, and the structural soundness of the exterior walls of the Building, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors excluded. The term “walls” as used in this Paragraph shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair. |
12. | Tenant’s Repairs. At Tenant’s expense as provided in Paragraph 6, Landlord shall maintain in good repair and condition the roof membrane, parking areas and other common areas of the Building, including, but not limited to driveways, alleys, landscape and grounds surrounding the Premises. Subject to Landlord’s obligation in Paragraph 11, and subject to Paragraphs 10 and 16, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises including, without limitation, dock and loading areas, dock doors, dock equipment, plumbing, water and sewer lines up to points of common connection, entries, doors, ceilings, windows, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units serving the Premises (the “HVAC”), and interior walls, which repair and replacement obligations include capital repairs or capital replacements whose benefit may extend beyond the Expiration Date. The HVAC systems serving the Premises that Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this Paragraph 12 shall be maintained at Tenant’s expense pursuant to maintenance service contracts entered into by Tenant in accordance with Exhibit E to this Lease. The scope of services and contractors under such maintenance contracts shall be reasonably approved by Landlord. If Tenant fails to perform any maintenance, repair, or replacement for which it is responsible, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 business days after demand. Subject to Paragraphs 10 and 16, Tenant shall bear the cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Building or Project that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees, or Tenant’s failure to maintain the Premises in accordance with this Lease. |
13. | Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures. Tenant shall have the right to make alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises (“Tenant-Made Alterations”), which are interior, do not impact the structure of the Building, and the cost of which does not exceed $25,000 in each instance, without Landlord’s consent; provided Tenant provides Landlord with a written notice of such Tenant-Made Alterations containing sufficient and complete information regarding such Tenant-Made Alterations. All other Tenant-Made Alterations shall require Landlord’s prior written consent, and approval of the plans, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided such alteration does not impact the structure of the Building, modify the exterior of the Building, or modify the utility or mechanical systems of the Project. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its |
- 6 -
reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing plans and specifications and for monitoring construction. Promptly after Xxxxxx’s written request, Xxxxxxxx agrees to provide a good faith estimate of such out of pocket costs prior to incurring such costs (and shall not incur such costs if Tenant gives notice to Landlord that Tenant is withdrawing its request for such Tenant-Made Alterations). Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to: (a) be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord using only good grades of materials, and (b) comply with Landlord’s insurance and Legal Requirements. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the names and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall cause its contractor to provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation, including a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Landlord Parties, and commercial general liability in an amount equal to USD$2,000,000 from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord, including a provision of additional insured status for the Landlord Parties, from any contractor completing work on Tenant-Made Alterations. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors. Upon surrender of the Premises all Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant shall remain on the Premises as Landlord’s property, except to the extent Landlord requires removal, in which case, at Tenant’s expense, Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Upon Xxxxxx’s prior written request, Landlord shall provide Tenant a list of which Tenant-Made Alterations Landlord will require Tenant to remove upon surrender of the Premises.
At any time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord of its desire to expand the size of the Building by up to 33,000 square feet. In such event, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to reach an agreement on such Building expansion, which such terms shall be approved by each party in such party’s sole discretion. The terms of any such Building expansion shall be memorialized by the parties in an amendment to this Lease.
Without Landlord’s prior approval, Tenant may erect shelves, racking, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively “Trade Fixtures”) in the Premises provided that such items do not overload the Premises, may be removed without damaging the floor slab or the Premises, and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements. Such Trade Fixtures shall remain the sole property of Tenant and upon surrender of the Premises Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage to the floor slab or the Premises caused by such removal.
Subject to Landlord’s approval of the final plans and specifications for same as contemplated in the following paragraph, Landlord hereby approves those certain Tenant-Made Alterations to be completed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph and in accordance with the preliminary scope related thereto as described on Exhibit H (“Initial TI Work”).
Following the Effective Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord with final plans and specifications for the construction of such Initial TI Work (“Plans”). Within ten (10) business days of receipt of such Plans, Landlord shall either approve such Plans or provide a list of requested changes or deficiencies with respect to such Plans. If Landlord fails to respond within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of such failure (“second notice”). In the event Landlord fails to respond to the Plans within five (5) business days of such second notice, such Plans shall be deemed approved. If Landlord provides a list of deficiencies with respect to such Plans, Tenant shall revise and resubmit such Plans for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The foregoing iterative process (and timing) shall continue until Landlord and Tenant approve the Plans. Throughout the approval process, each party shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to cooperate with the other and the other’s architect and professionals in responding to questions or requests for information or submissions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and provided that no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, Landlord shall contribute up to a maximum amount of $94,500.00 (the “TI Allowance”), towards the Initial TI Work which can be capitalized by Landlord (as opposed to repairs and maintenance to the Premises). Tenant may request the TI Allowance be paid in increments of not less than $20,000.00 (subject to the final request being in a lesser amount), which each such increment shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within 30 days following (i) a written request from Tenant setting forth the portion of the TI Allowance being requested, (ii) completion of the portion of the Initial TI Work corresponding to the requested TI Allowance amounts, as completion of such work is reasonably determined by Xxxxxxxx’s construction manager, (iii) Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s invoice from Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors (“Tenant’s Contractors”) substantiating the costs related thereto, and (iv) Landlord’s receipt of conditional lien waivers from all Tenant’s Contractors who did work on the portion of the Initial TI Work for which Tenant is requesting a TI Allowance payment. Landlord shall be entitled to withhold the final $10,000 of the TI Allowance, which shall be released upon receipt of (A) a final Tenant invoice substantiating the final costs related to the Initial TI Work, and (B) final and unconditional lien waivers from Tenant’s Contractors who did work on the Initial TI Work. Landlord shall be under no obligation to pay for any Initial TI Work in excess of the TI Allowance. Further, such TI Allowance shall only be available for Tenant’s use through December 31, 2022, and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to any unused portion of the TI Allowance remaining thereafter unless Landlord and Tenant agree in writing to extend such deadline; provided that such date shall be extended on a day for day basis as a result of delays caused by Force Majeure.

14. | Signs. Tenant shall not install any decorations, flags, pennants, banners, exterior awnings, window or door lettering, placards, advertising media, lights or signs to the exterior of the Building, or interior window blinds, draperies, bars, or other window treatments which are visible from the exterior of the Building, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Prior to the surrender or vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall remove all signs and repair, paint, and/or replace the building facia surface damaged as a result. Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all applicable governmental permits and approvals for any sign. Subject to (i) Landlord’s review and approval of the final plans for same, (ii) applicable Legal Requirements, and (iii) to Landlord’s standard Building and Project signage packages, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to install signage on (a) the monument sign at the front of the Project, (b) on the front façade of the Building, and (c) at the entrance to the Premises, in each case, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. |
15. | Parking. Tenant may park operable vehicles in areas of the Project designated for non-reserved parking and park operable vehicles and trailers overnight at the truck loading docks and designated truck and trailer parking areas for the Premises, provided there is no interference with the access of other tenants to the Building and Project parking lots and truck courts. Landlord may allocate parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants if Landlord reasonably determines such allocation is beneficial to the Project. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties. If Tenant fails to comply with any of the parking requirements or otherwise creates a nuisance for other tenants at the Project as a result of Tenant’s parking or staging of vehicles (a “Parking Default”), and such Parking Default continues for more than 3 days from Landlord’s demand to cease such Parking Default, Landlord may, in addition to any other rights, cause vehicles causing a Parking Default to be towed at Tenant’s cost without liability to Landlord, and Landlord may hire a parking management company to enforce Parking Defaults by Tenant, and Tenant Parties, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred with respect to such parking management no later than thirty (30) days from receipt of an invoice for such amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if Tenant occupies the entire Building during the Lease Term, Landlord shall not grant any third party the right to utilize any of the parking areas serving the Premises. |
16. | Restoration. If at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing within 60 days after such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is estimated to exceed 6 months, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other party given no later than 30 days after Landlord’s notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, or if Landlord estimates that restoration will take 6 months or less, then Landlord shall, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from events of Force Majeure, restore the Premises, excluding any Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant at Tenant’s expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than one month to repair such damage. Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be abated for the period of repair and restoration commencing on the date of such casualty event in the proportion of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided above, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss. |
17. | Condemnation. If any part of the Premises or the Project are taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would materially interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Building or Project, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be apportioned as of such date. If part of the Premises is Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be proportionately reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Without diminishing Landlord’s award, Tenant shall have the right to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s Trade Fixtures. |
18. | Assignment and Subletting. Except as provided below, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do so without Landlord’s consent shall be void and of no effect. Furthermore, Tenant shall not mortgage, or pledge, its leasehold interest in this Lease. It shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold, delay or condition consent to any assignment or sublease if the intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would impact the operations of other tenants, their use of the Project, or impair Landlord’s ability to re-lease other space in the Building or Project. Tenant shall |
- 8 -
provide to Landlord all information concerning the assignee or sublessee as Landlord may reasonably request, and any approved assignment or sublease shall be (i) expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and (ii) revocable if there is an uncured Event of Default, either at the time of notice or as of the effective date of the assignment or sublease. For purposes of this Paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign this Lease to any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated, or to any entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred, provided the following conditions are met: (x) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets is not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant’s leasehold estate, (y) either such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets does not adversely affect the legal existence of the Tenant hereunder, or such surviving entity agrees to assume all obligations and liabilities under this Lease (including those which may have accrued prior to the effective date of such Permitted Transfer as defined below) in a form acceptable to Landlord acting in a reasonable manner, and (z) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets of Tenant does not reduce the tangible net worth of Tenant (or the surviving entity) after giving effect to such transfer (“Permitted Transfer”). Tenant hereby agrees to give Landlord written notice thirty (30) days prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets along with any documentation reasonably requested by Landlord related to the required conditions as provided above. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a “Tenant Affiliate”), without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord may charge Tenant USD $1,500 in connection with any assignment or sublease for which Xxxxxxxx’s consent is required. This Lease shall be binding upon Tenant and its successors and permitted assigns. Upon Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of Xxxxxx’s written notice of a desire to assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof (other than to a Tenant Affiliate), Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 30 days, terminate this Lease as of the commencement date specified in Tenant’s notice, with respect to the space described in Tenant’s notice. Tenant may withdraw its notice to sublease or assign by notifying Landlord within 10 days after Landlord has given Tenant notice of such termination, in which case the Lease shall not terminate but shall continue. |
Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations shall remain liable for the payment of the Base Rent, Operating Expenses, and any other amounts due, and compliance with all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Xxxxxxxx’s approval has been obtained for any such assignment or subletting). In the event that the rent due by a sublessee or assignee exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of such excess as additional rent within 10 business days following receipt by Xxxxxx.
If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises are subleased (whether in whole or in part), or if the Premises are occupied by anyone other than Tenant, then upon an Event of Default Landlord may collect rent from any occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable hereunder.
19. | Indemnification. Except for the negligence, or willful misconduct, of the Landlord Parties, Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Parties, and Landlord’s agents, employees, and contractors, from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or Tenant Parties, or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or Tenant Parties in or about the Project or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph. |
20. | Inspection, Data and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at reasonable times to inspect the Premises, for any business purpose, and, during the last year of the Lease Term, to show the Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord shall not enter the Premises for the purposes stated in this Paragraph without providing at least 24 hours’ telephonic notice to Tenant, unless an emergency circumstance exists. Landlord may erect signs on the Building stating the Premises are available to lease or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate and modify common areas and create restrictions affecting the Project (collectively “Encumbrances”), provided that such Encumbrances do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, reduce Tenant’s rights under this Lease, or result in any direct or indirect financial or other obligation to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to execute any instruments as may be necessary for such Encumbrances. |
21. | Quiet Enjoyment. Absent any Event of Default subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord. |
Surrender. Upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of Xxxxxx’s right of possession, Xxxxxx shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear, casualty loss and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 16 and 17 excepted and otherwise in accordance with the Move Out
- 9 -
Conditions attached hereto. Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this Lease and property not removed by Xxxxxx as required shall either, at Landlord’s election: (i) become the property of Landlord, or (ii) be deemed abandoned in which case it may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Xxxxxxxx’s retention and disposition of such property. Any outstanding Tenant obligations under this Lease shall survive the termination of the Lease Term, including without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment of Operating Expenses, and all obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant fails to surrender the Premises in the condition as provided herein, upon the expiration, or earlier termination, of this Lease, Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to complete such modifications, maintenance, repairs, and replacements on Tenant’s behalf, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs as estimated by independent contractors, along with a management fee equal to five (5%) of such costs, no later than thirty (30) days from receipt of demand.
22. | Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord, and all terms of this Lease shall be applicable during such holdover period except (i) any expansion, renewal, or similar right or option, and (ii) Base Rent for the holdover period shall be 150% the then-effective Base Rent. All other amounts payable under this Lease shall continue under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over. Holding over by Tenant (with or without consent of Landlord) shall not extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. For purposes of this Paragraph, “possession of the Premises” shall continue until Landlord has complete control over the Premises, all keys have been delivered, and Tenant has fulfilled all required obligations upon termination of the Lease concerning the condition and repair of the Premises. |
23. | Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) by Xxxxxx: |
a) | Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent, Operating Expenses, or any other payment required when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant that such payment was due; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide written notice of such failure more than 2 times in any consecutive 12-month period, and the failure of Tenant to pay any subsequent installment of Base Rent or any other payment required herein when due in any consecutive 12-month period shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable law. |
b) | Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall (i) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “proceeding for relief”); (iii) become the subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or entry; or (iv) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity). |
c) | Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease is cancelled or terminated, expires, or is reduced or materially changed (except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease) or Tenant fails to timely deliver to Landlord any certificate of insurance as required under Paragraph 10. |
d) | Tenant vacates the Premises and fails to make arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to ensure that (i) Tenant’s insurance for the Premises will not be voided or cancelled, (ii) the Premises will be secured, and (iii) the Premises will be properly maintained, including maintaining utility services. Tenant shall inspect the Premises at least monthly and report to Landlord in the event the condition of the Premises has adversely changed. |
e) | Tenant assigns, subleases or transfers Tenant’s interest in this Lease except as permitted in this Lease. |
f) | Tenant fails to discharge or bond over in an manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord any lien placed upon the Premises or Building within 20 days after such lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises or Building. |
g) | Tenant fails to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Paragraph, and such default shall continue for more than 30 days after Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such default except as otherwise provided in this Lease (said notice being in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required as a prerequisite to a forcible entry and detainer or similar action for possession of the Premises); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be in default under the circumstances described in this Paragraph 24 if Xxxxxx has made diligent efforts to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period described therein, and thereafter proceeds continuously and diligently to cure such default within a commercially reasonable time. |
-10-
24. | Landlord’s Remedies. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default continues, Landlord may at any time elect to: (i) terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, (but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided), and/or (ii) pursue any other remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right of possession, Landlord may without formal demand or notice of any kind, re-enter the Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action or proceeding authorized by law and remove Tenant, and all persons and property therefrom. If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use, or remove and store, all property at the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Landlord delivers three notices of an Event of Default under this Lease in any twelve-month period, any subsequent Event of Default under the Lease shall be deemed an immediate Event of Default, and Tenant shall have no cure period as otherwise provided in this Lease and Landlord may immediately pursue all of its remedies as provided in this Lease. |
If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum of (i) all Base Rent, Operating Expenses, and all other amounts payable by Tenant which have accrued to the date of such termination; (ii) the value of the Base Rent for any periods of abated Base Rent based on the Base Rent amount that immediately follows such period of abatement; (iii) the cost of reletting the Premises, including without limitation brokerage fees and/or leasing commissions incurred by Landlord, costs of removing and storing property, repairing or altering the Premises for a new tenant(s); (iv) all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing its remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs; and (v) the excess of the then present value of the Base Rent, Operating Expenses, and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease applicable during the period following the termination of this Lease to the Expiration Date, over the present value of any net amounts which Tenant establishes Landlord can reasonably expect to recover by reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration the availability of acceptable tenants and other market conditions affecting leasing. Such present values shall be calculated at a discount rate equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate at the date of such termination.
If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right of possession (but not this Lease), Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the Premises for the account of Tenant without releasing Tenant from liability and without demand or notice to Tenant. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on such terms and conditions satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion (including without limitation a term different than the remaining Lease Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair of the Premises, lease of less than the entire Premises to any tenant and leasing of any other portions of the Project before reletting the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant’s obligations be diminished because of Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect rent from such reletting. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Premises as Landlord deems reasonably necessary. If the Premises are not relet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the Base Rent and Operating Expenses due and payable by Tenant for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession of the Premises (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent, Operating Expenses, and other amounts accrued including interest per paragraph 37(l) below at the time of repossession, and the costs incurred by Xxxxxxxx’s efforts to relet the Premises. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum is not realized from such reletting [after first deducting the unpaid Base Rent, Operating Expenses, and other amounts accrued under this Lease at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering possession (including attorneys’ fees and legal costs), the costs and expenses of repairs, alterations, and additions, reletting expenses (including leasing commissions and repairs completed by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf) and the cost of rent collection] to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease, then Tenant shall immediately pay any such deficiency upon demand. Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums as they become due. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
Xxxxxxxx’s exercise of any remedies shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance the terms hereof shall not be construed as having created a custom or manner in any way contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent Event of Default. Receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless agreed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives all right of redemption in case the Lease is terminated, or Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. In the event Landlord exercises self-help, or lock-out, remedies as provided by law, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any business loss or business interruption which Tenant may incur and any property remaining on the Premises shall be deemed abandoned by Xxxxxx and Landlord may store, remove, or disposed of such property at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and disposition of such property. The terms “enter,” “re-enter,” “entry” or “re-entry,” as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.
-11-
25. | Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require more than 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). All obligations of Landlord shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the then current owner of the Premises, and in the event of a transfer of ownership of the Premises, such transferring owner shall be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Building, and in no event shall any personal liability or recourse to any other property or assets of Landlord be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease. |
26. | Subordination. Without the necessity of any further instrument or act of Tenant, this Lease, and Xxxxxx’s interest and rights hereunder, are, and shall be, subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any existing or future first mortgage on the Building or any ground lease which the Building is subject to, and all amendments, modifications, assignments and extensions thereof. Xxxxxx agrees, at the election of the holder of any such mortgage, or lessor for any ground lease, to attorn to any such holder or lessor. Xxxxxx agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such commercially reasonable instruments, confirming such subordination and such instruments of attornment as shall be reasonably requested by any such holder; provided that such instrument shall not increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or decrease the rights of Tenant under this Lease in any material respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Xxxxxx’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant. The term “mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “holder” of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. |
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph, this Lease and Xxxxxx’s interest in the Premises shall not be subordinate to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, and Tenant shall not be obligated to execute an instrument subordinating this Lease or Tenant’s interest in the Premises to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, unless concurrently with such subordination the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust agrees in such instrument of subordination not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises (so long as no default exists under the Lease) in the event such holder acquires title to the Premises through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.
27. | Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind upon the Building, the Premises or this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of claims or liens asserted against the leasehold estate, the interest of Landlord in the Premises, or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice of any lien or encumbrance placed against the Premises (to the extent Tenant has actual knowledge thereof) and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged, or bonded over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord, within 20 days of the filing or recording thereof. |
28. | Estoppel Certificates. Xxxxxx agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord or Landlord’s designee, within 10 business days after Xxxxxxxx’s request, an estoppel certificate containing customary provisions. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate. |
29. | Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Materials contained in: (i) products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes; (ii) forklift propane tanks, and (iii) products stored and/or distributed by Tenant in their original, sealed, and unopened containers, or as otherwise contemplated in Exhibit I, Tenant shall not bring, permit, or cause any party to bring any Hazardous Material onto the Project, or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture, or dispose of any Hazardous Material in, on, or about the Project without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall: (v) operate its business at the Project in strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements, including complying with all reporting obligations imposed by applicable Environmental Requirements in the capacity as “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” (as such terms are used in applicable Environmental Requirements) of all Hazardous Materials brought onto the Project by Tenant, or any Tenant Parties (as defined below), and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom, or extracted from the Project; (w) promptly provide copies of any claims, reports, complaints, notices, letters, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to Hazardous Materials at the Project which Tenant receives or sends; (x) promptly and diligently remediate in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released on, or from, the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, licensees, or invitees (collectively, the “Tenant Parties”); (y) promptly notify Landlord in writing of any spill, release, discharge, or disposal of any Hazardous Material in, on, or under the Project of which Tenant has actual knowledge; and (z) promptly complete and deliver any disclosure or certification requested by Landlord concerning Tenant’s, or any Tenant Parties’, transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture or release of Hazardous Materials in, on, or about the Project. Tenant shall be strictly |
-12-
liable to Landlord as a result of Tenant’s, or any Tenant Parties’, transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacturing, disposal, or release of Hazardous Materials at the Project without regard to the fault or negligence of any other party. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to promptly commence and diligently pursue its remediation obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph. The term “Environmental Requirements” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders, or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions, including, without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. The term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant regulated by any Environmental Requirements, asbestos, radioactive materials, and petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). |
Tenant shall have no liability of any kind to Landlord as to Hazardous Materials on the Project which arise prior to the Commencement Date, or during the Lease Term, which were caused or permitted by any party other than Tenant, or any Tenant Parties.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all losses (including diminution in value of the Premises or the Project, and loss of rental income from the Project), claims, demands, actions, suits, damages (including punitive damages), costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney, consultant, and expert fees) which are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of: (i) any release of Hazardous Materials on, or from, the Project by Tenant, or any Tenant Parties, or (ii) Tenant’s, or any Tenant Parties’, breach of, or noncompliance with, this Paragraph, regardless of whether Xxxxxx had knowledge of such noncompliance. Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease.
Landlord (including Xxxxxxxx’s consultants, lenders, or designees) shall have access to, and the right to inspect and perform tests at the Premises to assess the condition of the Premises, or determine Tenant’s compliance with this Paragraph, or any applicable Environmental Requirements. If such inspection reveals noncompliance by Xxxxxx, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and testing.

Tenant shall give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the “Extension Notice”) of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least 9 months, but not more than 12 months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term.
(b) The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Extension Term shall be the greater of (i) the Base Rent applicable to the last year of the initial Lease Term and (ii) the then prevailing market rate for comparable space in the Project and comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Project, taking into account the size of the Premises, the age of the Building, amenities, location, the length of the renewal term, market escalations and the credit of Tenant. The Base Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s not having to find a new tenant for such premises (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, costs of improvements, rent concessions or lost rental income during any vacancy period). In the event Landlord and Tenant fail to reach an agreement on such rental rate and execute the Amendment (defined below) at least 9 months prior to the expiration of the Lease, then Xxxxxx’s exercise of the renewal option shall be deemed withdrawn and the Lease shall terminate on its original expiration date.

(d) Except for the Base Rent as determined above, Xxxxxx’s occupancy of the Premises during the Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to any allowances, credits or abatements or any options to expand, contract, renew or extend the Lease.
(e) If Tenant does not give the Extension Notice within the period set forth in paragraph (a) above, Xxxxxx’s right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the Extension Notice.
(f) Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the Extension Term in “as-is” condition.
(g) If the Lease is extended for the Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the other provisions applicable thereto (the “Amendment”).
(h) If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the Extension Term pursuant to this Exhibit, the term “Lease Term” as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the Extension Term except as provided in (d) above.
