Tenant shall procure and maintain all policies entirely at its own expense and shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with certified copies of replacement policies or renewal certificates for existing policies. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies maintained by Landlord or the insurance policies required pursuant to this Article 7 or the coverage thereunder. If Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant does or permits to be done anything which shall increase the cost of any insurance policies maintained by Landlord, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any additional premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation of Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant causing such increase in the cost of insurance. Any such amount shall be payable as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of a xxxx from Landlord. All policies of insurance (other than the policy of property insurance described in Article 7.2) shall name both Landlord and Tenant (and/or such other party or parties as Landlord may require) as insureds and shall be endorsed to indicate that the coverage provided shall not be invalid due to any act or omission on the part of Landlord. In addition, the policy of property insurance described in Article 7.2 shall name Landlord (and Landlord’s Lender, if Landlord shall so require) as a co-loss payee. The insurance requirements contained in this Article 7 are independent of Tenant’s waiver, indemnification and other obligations under this Lease and shall not be construed or interpreted in any way to restrict, limit or modify Tenant’s waiver, indemnification or other obligations or to in any way limit Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
7.6 Co-Insurance. If on account of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Article 7, Landlord is deemed a co-insurer by its insurance carrier, then any loss or damage which Landlord shall sustain by reason thereof shall be borne by Tenant, and shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of a xxxx therefor.
7.7 Adequacy of Insurance. Landlord makes no representation or warranty to Tenant that the amount of insurance to be carried by Tenant under the terms of this Lease is adequate to fully protect Tenant’s interests. If Tenant believes that the amount of any such insurance is insufficient, Tenant is encouraged to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, such additional insurance as Tenant may deem desirable or adequate. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, waiving, accepting, or obtaining any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of such insurance, the solvency of any insurance companies or the payment or defense of any lawsuit in connection with such insurance coverage, and Tenant hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect thereto.
7.8 Landlord’s Insurance.
(a) Landlord, shall, at all times from and after the Commencement Date, at its sole cost and expense, maintain in effect commercial general liability insurance covering (a) any occurrence in the Project (other than within premises leased to tenants), (b) any act or omission by Landlord, or its agent, servants, contractors or employees, anywhere in the Project, and (c) the contractual liability of Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Article 14 below, which coverage shall not be less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), combined single limit, per occurrence.
11
(b) Landlord shall, at all times from and after the Commencement Date, at its sole cost and expense, maintain in effect a policy or policies of “Causes of Loss—Special Form” insurance insuring the Building with coverage in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost thereof (exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings) from time to time during the Lease Term, together with such endorsements and/or additional coverage as Landlord may determine or as may be required by Landlord’s lender. Landlord reserves the right to maintain a reasonable deductible in connection with such insurance.
(c) Landlord’s obligation to carry the insurance required in this Article 7.8 may be brought within the coverage of any so called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Landlord, provided that the coverage afforded will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance. Landlord shall have the right to self-insure for the liability and casualty insurance required by Article 7.8(a) and (b), provided that Landlord shall have a net worth, calculated in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, of at least One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00). In the event that Landlord elects to self-insure in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7.8(c), Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such election, accompanied by appropriate evidence demonstrating that Landlord is entitled to self-insure in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7.8(c).
8.1 Insured Damage. In the event the Leased Premises are damaged during the Lease Term by fire or other perils covered by Landlord’s insurance, Landlord shall:
(a) Subject to Force Majeure, within a period of ninety (90) days after the date of damage, and provided there is not then in existence of an Event of Default, commence repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Leased Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
(b) In the event of a partial or total destruction of either the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project during the last two (2) years of the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such destruction. In the event of a partial or total destruction of the Leased Premises during the last year of the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after such destruction. For purposes of this Article 8, “partial destruction” shall be deemed destruction to an extent of at least thirty-three and one-third percent (33.33%) of the then full replacement cost of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project as of the date of destruction.
(c) In the event that Superior Mortgagee shall require that insurance proceeds be applied against the principal balance due on the Superior Mortgage (defined below), then Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and upon sixty (60) days written notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease.
8.2 Uninsured Damage. In the event the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project shall be damaged as a result of any casualty not covered by Landlord’s insurance, to any extent whatsoever, Landlord may, subject to Force Majeure, within ninety (90) days following the date of the casualty, commence repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Leased Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or within such ninety (90) day period elect not to so repair, reconstruct or restore the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project, as the case may be, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate. In either event, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s intention within such ninety (90) day period.
12
8.3 Reconstruction. In the event of any reconstruction of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project pursuant to this Article 8, such reconstruction shall be in conformity with all city, county, state and federal ordinances, rules and regulations then in existence, as the same may be interpreted and enforced. Notwithstanding that all reconstruction work shall be performed by Landlord’s contractor unless Landlord shall otherwise agree in writing, Landlord’s obligation to reconstruct the Leased Premises shall be only to the comparable condition of the Leased Premises immediately prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord’s obligation to repair and reconstruct the Leased Premises shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds of insurance received by Landlord, subject to reduction pursuant to Article 8.1(c) above. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the repair and restoration of all items of the Tenant’s improvements and/or alterations installed pursuant to Article 5.2 and the replacement of Tenant’s stock in trade, trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment. Tenant shall commence the installation of fixtures, equipment and merchandise promptly upon delivery to Tenant of possession of the Leased Premises and shall diligently prosecute such installation to completion.
8.4 Termination. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Article 8, Landlord and Tenant each shall be released without further obligations to the other coincident with the surrender of possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord, except for items which have previously accrued and remain unpaid. In the event of termination, all proceeds from Tenant’s property insurance coverage covering Tenant’s improvements and/or alterations installed pursuant to Article 5.2, but excluding proceeds for trade fixtures, merchandise, signs and other removable personal property, shall be disbursed and paid to Landlord.
8.5 Abatement. In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Leased Premises as a result of damage or destruction, Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired commencing from the date of destruction and continuing during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration. Tenant shall continue the operation of Tenant’s business at the Leased Premises during any such period to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management. Except as set forth in this Article 8.5, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Leased Premises, or the building of which the Leased Premises are a part, Tenant’s personal property or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.
8.6 Conflict. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Article 8 are the result of arms’ length negotiations between Landlord and Tenant and that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article 8 and any statutory or common law rights of termination which may arise by reason of any partial or total destruction of the Leased Premises, including the provisions of A.R.S. § 33-343, the provisions of this Article 8 shall prevail.
Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives their respective rights and the subrogation rights of their respective insurers against Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, and any other tenants of space in the Building, the Property or the Project, as well as their respective members, officers, employees, agents, authorized representatives and invitees, with respect to any claims including, but not limited to, claims for injury to any persons, and/or damage to the Leased Premises and/or any fixtures, equipment, personal property, furniture, improvements and/or alterations in or to the Leased Premises, which are caused by or result from (a) risks or damages required to be insured against under this Lease under a policy of property insurance, or (b) risks and damages which are insured against by property insurance policies maintained by Landlord or Tenant, as applicable from time to time. Each of Tenant and Landlord shall obtain for the other party from its respective insurers under each policy required by this Lease a waiver of all rights of subrogation which such insurers of Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, might otherwise have against Landlord or Tenant, as applicable.
13
10. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT OBLIGATIONS
All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Annual Basic Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations, make any such payment or perform any such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the greater of (a) ten percent (10%) per annum or (b) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced, quoted or published, from time to time, by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, NA, (or its successor in interest) as its “prime rate” plus two (2) percentage points, from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursement in full by Tenant (the “Default Rate”), shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent with the next monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent; provided, however, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum rate (if any) permitted by applicable law.
11.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” on the part of Tenant.
(a) Failure to pay any installment of Annual Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, when due, which failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant;
(b) Failure to perform any of the other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required to observe and perform (except failure in the payment of Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other monetary obligation contained in this Lease) and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days (or such shorter period of time as may reasonably be specified by Landlord in the event of an emergency) after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, provided that if such default is other than the payment of money and cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then an Event of Default shall not have occurred if Tenant, within such thirty (30) day period, commences curing of such failure and diligently in good faith prosecutes the same to completion and furnishes evidence thereof to Landlord within ninety (90) days thereafter;
(c) If any warranty, representation or statement made by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease is or was materially false or misleading when made or furnished;
(d) The levy of a writ of attachment or execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or its interest in this Lease, such attachment, execution or other seizure remaining undismissed or discharged for a period of sixty (60) days after the levy thereof;
(e) The filing of any petition by or against Tenant to declare Tenant a bankrupt or to delay, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts or obligations, which petition is not discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of filing;
(f) The filing of any petition or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure, which petition is not discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of filing;
(g) If Tenant shall be declared insolvent according to law;
14
(h) A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors;
(i) The appointment of a receiver or trustee for Tenant or all or any of their respective property, which appointment is not discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of filing;
(j) The filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any successor legislation, which petition is not discharged within forty-five (45) days after the date of filing; or
(k) The occurrence of an Event of Default under the other provisions of this Lease.
11.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease by Tenant that is not remedied with the applicable cure periods, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute, exercise one or more of the following remedies, all of which shall be construed and held to be cumulative and non-exclusive. (a) Terminate this Lease and re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises, in which event, Landlord is authorized to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased Premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in good faith for the purposes of reletting the Leased Premises and the costs and expenses incurred in respect of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and the expenses of such reletting (including brokerage commissions) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement; or (b) Without terminating this Lease, re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises; or (c) Without such re-entry, recover possession of the Leased Premises in the manner prescribed by any statute relating to summary process, and any demand for Annual Basic Rent, re-entry for condition broken, and any and all notices to quit, or other formalities of any nature to which Tenant may be entitled, are hereby specifically waived to the extent permitted by law; or (d) Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Leased Premises as Landlord may see fit without thereby voiding or terminating this Lease, and for the purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased Premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in good faith for the purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not realized from such reletting (after payment of all costs and expenses of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and expenses of such reletting (including brokerage commissions) and the collection of rent accruing therefrom) each month to equal the Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency each month within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement; provided, however, Landlord may first lease Landlord’s other available space and shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant with respect to any such reletting; or (e) Landlord may declare immediately due and payable all the remaining installments of Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent, and such amount, less the fair rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term shall be paid by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement. Landlord shall not by re-entry or any other act, be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or the liability of Tenant for the total Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder or for any installment thereof then due or thereafter accruing, or for damages, unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord has so elected to terminate this Lease. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the acceptance of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent, or the failure to re-enter by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord’s right to thereafter terminate this Lease and exercise any other rights and remedies available to it, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises as if no Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent had been accepted after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in retaking or otherwise obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, removing and storing all equipment, fixtures and personal property on the Leased Premises and otherwise enforcing any of Landlord’s rights, remedies or recourses arising as a result of an Event of Default.
15
11.3 Additional Remedies. All of the remedies given to Landlord in this Lease in the event Tenant commits an Event of Default are in addition to all other rights or remedies available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute. All rights, options and remedies available to Landlord shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all rights, privileges and contingencies which may be exercised by Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, options to renew, extend and expand, as well as relocation rights, contraction rights and any other rights which may be exercised by Tenant during the Lease Term, shall be void and of no further force and effect.
11.4 Interest on Past Due Amounts. In addition to the late charge described in Article 12 below, if any installment of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not paid promptly when due, it shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, this provision shall not relieve Tenant from any default in the making of any payment at the time and in the manner required by this Lease; and provided, further, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum rate (if any) permitted by applicable law.
11.5 Landlord Default. In the event Landlord should neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or observed, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of default (or if more than thirty (30) days shall be required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord shall fail to commence the curing of such default within such thirty (30) day period and proceed diligently thereafter but not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), then Landlord shall be responsible to Tenant for any actual damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s breach, but not special or consequential damages. Should Tenant give written notice to Landlord to correct any default, Tenant shall give similar notice to the holder of any mortgages or deeds of trust against the Building or the lessor of any ground lease (provided that the names and addresses of such holders or lessors have been provided to Tenant), and prior to any cancellation of this Lease, the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust and/or the lessor under such ground lease shall be given a reasonable period of time to correct or remedy such default. If and when such holder of such mortgage or deed of trust and/or the lessor under any such ground lease has made performance on behalf of Landlord, the default of Landlord shall be deemed cured. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to processing, administrative and accounting costs. Accordingly, if any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the date when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount or Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($200.00), whichever is greater. Tenant acknowledges that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payments by Tenant. Neither assessment nor acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed to condone, authorize, sanction or grant to Tenant an option for the late payment of Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder.
16
13.1 Surrender. Tenant shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, peaceably surrender the Leased Premises, including any Tenant Improvements, in a janitorial clean condition and otherwise in as good condition as when Tenant took possession, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear subsequent to the last repair, replacement, restoration, alteration or renewal; (ii) loss by fire or other casualty, and (iii) loss by condemnation. If Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender the Leased Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and left in the Leased Premises shall be deemed abandoned and, at Landlord’s option, title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a xxxx of sale. Landlord may, however, if it so elects, remove all or any part of such personal property from the Leased Premises and the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such removal, including reasonable storage costs and the cost of repairing any damage to the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Project caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys to the Leased Premises and shall inform Landlord of the combination of any vaults, locks and safes left on the Leased Premises. The obligations of Tenant under this Article 13.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding Tenant founded on such delay. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Leased Premises for the express purpose of arranging a meeting with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Leased Premises. In the event of Tenant’s failure to give such notice or to participate in such joint inspection, Landlord’s inspection at or after Tenant’s vacation of the Leased Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant’s liability for repairs and restoration hereunder.
14. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION
14.1 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant will, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Indemnify Landlord Parties against all Claims arising from (i) any Personal Injury, Bodily Injury or Property Damage whatsoever occurring in or at the Leased Premises; (ii) any Bodily Injury to an employee of a Tenant Party arising out of and in the course of employment of the employee and occurring anywhere in the Property; (iii) the use or occupancy, or manner of use or occupancy, or conduct or management of the Leased Premises or of any business therein; (iv) subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions of this Lease, any act, error, omission or negligence of any of the Tenant Parties in, on or about the Leased Premises or the Property; (v) the conduct of Tenant’s business; (vi) any alterations, activities, work or things done, omitted, permitted or allowed by Tenant Parties in, at or about the Leased Premises or Property, including the violation of or failure to comply with, or the alleged violation of or alleged failure to comply with any applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, standards, rules, regulations, orders, or judgments in existence on the date of the Lease or enacted, promulgated or issued after the date of this Lease including Hazardous Materials Laws (defined below); (vii) any breach or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment of any amount due under this Lease, any breach, violation or nonperformance of any term, condition, covenant or other obligation of Tenant under this Lease, or any misrepresentation made by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations in connection with this Lease (viii) all damages sustained by Landlord as a result of any holdover by Tenant or any Tenant Party in the Leased Premises including, but not limited to, any claims by another tenant resulting from a delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Leased Premises to such tenant; (ix) any liens or encumbrances arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or for Tenant; (x) commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any real estate broker or agent, other than the Brokers specified in the Basic Provisions, with respect to this Lease by, through or, under Tenant or, (xi) any matter enumerated in Article 14.2 below, except in each case to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord Parties. Except for the negligence or willful misconduct of any Tenant Party, or a breach of this Lease by any Tenant Party, Landlord hereby Indemnifies Tenant Parties against any and all Claims which either (i) arise from or in connection with Personal Injury, Bodily Injury and/or Property Damage resulting from any negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party in connection with the Building Common Areas; or (ii) result from any default, breach, violation or non-performance of this Lease by Landlord.
17
14.2 Waivers. Except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord Parties and except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant, on behalf of all Tenant Parties, Waives all Claims against Landlord Parties arising from the following: (i) any Personal Injury, Bodily Injury, or Property Damage occurring in or at the Leased Premises; (ii) any loss of or damage to property of a Tenant Party located in the Leased Premises or other part of the Property by theft or otherwise; (iii) any Personal Injury, Bodily Injury, or Property Damage to any Tenant Party caused by other tenants of the Property, parties not occupying space in the Property, occupants of property adjacent to the Property, or the public or by the construction of any private, public, or quasi-public work occurring either in the Leased Premises or elsewhere in the Property; (iv) any interruption or stoppage of any utility service or for any damage to persons or property resulting from such stoppage; (v) business interruption or loss of use of the Leased Premises suffered by Tenant; (vi) any latent defect in construction of the Building; (vii) damages or injuries or interference with Tenant’s business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment and any other loss resulting from the exercise by Landlord of any right or the performance by Landlord of Landlord’s maintenance or other obligations under this Lease, or (viii) any Bodily Injury to an employee of a Tenant Party arising out of and in the course of employment of the employee and occurring anywhere in the Property.
14.3 Definitions. For purposes of this Article 14: (i) the term “Tenant Parties” means Tenant, and Tenant’s officers, members, partners, agents, employees, sublessees, licensees, invitees and independent contractors, and all persons and entities claiming through any of these persons or entities; (ii) the term “Landlord Parties” means Landlord and the partners, venturers, trustees and ancillary trustees of Landlord and the respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, parents, subsidiaries and any other affiliated entities, personal representatives, executors, heirs, assigns, licensees, invitees, beneficiaries, agents, servants, employees and independent contractors of these persons or entities; (iii) the term “Indemnify” means indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold free and harmless for, from and against; (iv) the term “Claims” means all liabilities, claims, damages (including consequential damages), losses, penalties, litigation, demands, causes of action (whether in tort or contract, in law or at equity or otherwise), suits, proceedings, judgments, disbursements, charges, assessments, and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses incurred in investigating, defending, or prosecuting any litigation, claim, or proceeding); (v) the term “Waives” means that the Tenant Parties waive and knowingly and voluntarily assume the risk of; and (vi) the terms “Bodily Injury”, “Personal Injury” and “Property Damage” will have the same meanings as in the form of commercial general insurance policy issued by Insurance Services Office, Inc. most recently prior to the date of the injury or loss in question.
14.4 Obligations Independent of Insurance. The indemnification provided in Article 14 may not be construed or interpreted as in any way restricting, limiting or modifying Tenant’s insurance or other obligations under this Lease, and the provisions of Article 14.1 are independent of Tenant’s insurance and other obligations. Tenant’s compliance with the insurance requirements and other obligations under this Lease does not in any way restrict, limit or modify Tenant’s indemnification obligations under this Lease.
18
14.5 Survival. The provisions of this Article 14 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until all Claims against Landlord Parties involving any of the indemnified or waived matters are fully and finally barred by the applicable statutes of limitations.
14.6 Duty to Defend. Tenant’s duty to defend Landlord Parties is separate and independent of Tenant’s duty to Indemnify Landlord Parties. Tenant’s duty to defend includes Claims for which Landlord Parties may be liable without fault or may be strictly liable. Tenant’s duty to defend applies regardless of whether issues of negligence, liability, fault, default or other obligation on the part of Tenant Parties have been determined. Tenant’s duty to defend applies immediately, regardless of whether Landlord Parties have paid any sums or incurred any detriment arising out of or relating, directly or indirectly, to any Claims. It is the express intention of Landlord and Tenant that Landlord Parties will be entitled to obtain summary adjudication regarding Tenant’s duty to defend Landlord Parties at any stage of any Claim within the scope of this Article 14.
Landlord reserves and shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises, to inspect the same with at least forty-eight (48) hours of notice (except in an emergency), to supply janitorial service and other services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants within the last six (6) months of the Lease Term or Extension Term, to post notices of non-responsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the Leased Premises and any portion of the Building of which the Leased Premises are a part, without abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that access into the Leased Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises or any loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all the doors in, upon or about the Leased Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all reasonable means which Landlord may deem proper to open such doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Leased Premises, and any entry to the Leased Premises obtained by Landlord by any such means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased Premises or an eviction of Tenant from all or any portion of the Leased Premises. Nothing in this Article 15 shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or maintenance except as otherwise expressly required elsewhere in this Lease.
17.1 Consent of Landlord Required. Tenant shall not transfer or assign this Lease or any right or interest hereunder, or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. No transfer or assignment (whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) or subletting shall be valid or effective without such prior written consent. Should Tenant attempt to make or allow to be made any such transfer, assignment or subletting, except as aforesaid, or should any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease be sold or otherwise transferred by or under court order or legal process or otherwise, then, and in any of the foregoing events Landlord may, at its option, treat such act as an Event of Default by Tenant. Should Landlord consent to a transfer, assignment or subletting, such consent shall not constitute a waiver of any of the restrictions or prohibitions of this Article 17, and such restrictions or prohibitions shall apply to each successive transfer, assignment or subletting hereunder, if any.

17.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby acknowledges and consents to Tenant’s right, without further approval from Landlord but only after written notice to Landlord to sublease the Leased Premises or assign its interest in this Lease (i) to a corporation that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant; (ii) in the event of the merger or consolidation of Tenant with another corporation; or (iii) in the event of a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the stock of Tenant or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (collectively, the “Permitted Transfers”), provided that immediately following the events enumerated in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the net worth of Tenant, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and the credit standing of Tenant is not less than the net worth, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and credit standing of Tenant as of the Date of this Lease. No Permitted Transfer shall relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for the payment of all Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent and under performance of all covenants and conditions of this Lease applicable to Tenant. The provisions of Articles 17.4 and 17.5 shall not be applicable to a Permitted Transfer.
17.3 Delivery of Information. If Tenant wishes at any time to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord. (a) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (b) the nature of the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s business to be carried on in the Leased Premises; (c) the terms and the provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment, including a copy of the proposed instrument of assignment and/or sublease; (d) three (3) years audited financial statements with respect to the proposed subtenant or assignee, including balance sheets and income statements (if, however, audited financial statements are not available, Tenant shall submit unaudited financial statements accompanied by tax returns for the years in question) and such other financial information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (e) a non-refundable processing fee in the amount of Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00). Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 17.3 shall entitle Landlord to withhold its consent to the proposed assignment or subletting.
17.4 Recapture. If Tenant proposes to assign its interest in this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, upon written notice (the “Assignment Recapture Notice”), to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the information specified in Article 17.3 above, elect to recapture all or any portion of the Leased Premises, and within sixty (60) days after notice of such election has been given to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate unless Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of the Assignment Recapture Notice to Tenant, deliver to Landlord written notice withdrawing its notification delivered pursuant to Article 17.3. If Tenant proposes to sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, upon notice to Tenant (the “Sublease Recapture Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notification delivered pursuant to Article 17.3, elect to recapture such portion of the Leased Premises as Tenant proposes to sublet, and within sixty (60) days after notice of such election has been given to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Leased Premises recaptured, unless within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant of the Sublease Recapture Notice, Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice withdrawing its notification delivered pursuant to Article 17.3. If all or a portion of the Leased Premises is recaptured by Landlord pursuant to this Article 17.4, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord a termination agreement setting forth the termination date with respect to the Leased Premises or the recaptured portion thereof, and prorating the Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder to such date. In the event Landlord exercises its right to recapture the Leased Premises or a portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article 17.4, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, enter into a lease with the proposed assignee or sublessee without incurring any liability to Tenant on account thereof. If Landlord does not elect to recapture as set forth above, Tenant may thereafter enter into a valid assignment or sublease with respect to the Leased Premises, provided that Landlord consents thereto pursuant to this Article 17, and provided further, that (a) such assignment or sublease is consummated within ninety (90) days after Landlord has given its consent, (b) Tenant pays all amounts then owed to Landlord under this Lease, (c) there is not in existence an Event of Default as of the effective date of the assignment or sublease, (d) there have been no material changes with respect to the financial condition of the proposed subtenant or assignee or the business such party intends to conduct in the Leased Premises, and (e) a fully executed original of such assignment or sublease providing for an express assumption by the assignee or subtenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease is promptly delivered to Landlord.
20
17.5 No Release from Liability. Landlord may collect Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee, subtenant, occupant or other transferee, and apply the amount so collected, first to the monthly installments of Annual Basic Rent, then to any Additional Rent and other sums due and payable to Landlord, and the balance, if any, to Landlord, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy, transfer or collection shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights under this Article 17, or the acceptance of the proposed assignee, subtenant, occupant or transferee. Notwithstanding any assignment, sublease or other transfer (with or without the consent of Landlord), Tenant shall remain primarily liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
17.6 Landlord’s Expenses. If Landlord consents to an assignment, sublease or other transfer by Tenant of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest under this Lease, Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord, any legal, accounting and other out of pocket expenses incurred by Landlord to the extent such expenses, fees and costs exceed the processing fee delivered by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Article 17.3(e) above.
17.7 Assumption Agreement. If Landlord consents to an assignment, sublease or other transfer by Tenant of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest under this Lease, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, and cause the transferee to execute and deliver to Landlord, an instrument in the form and substance acceptable to Landlord in which (a) the transferee adopts this Lease and assumes and agrees to perform, jointly and severally with Tenant, all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, (b) Tenant acknowledges that it remains primarily liable for the payment of Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other obligations under this Lease, (c) Tenant subordinates to Landlord’s statutory lien, contract lien and security interest, any liens, security interests or other rights which Tenant may claim with respect to any property of transferee and (d) the transferee agrees to use and occupy the Leased Premises solely for the purpose specified in Article 18 and otherwise in strict accordance with this Lease.
17.8 Withholding Consent. Without limiting the grounds for withholding consent which may be reasonable, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent (a) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant in default of such tenant’s lease (or the termination by such assignee or subtenant of such lease in order to sublease from Tenant will be a default under the same) in a building in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area owned by Landlord or by an affiliate of Landlord or any of Landlord’s constituent partners or principals; or (b) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is a governmental or quasi-governmental entity, agency, department or any subdivision thereof; or (c) if the use by the proposed assignee or subtenant would violate the terms of this Lease, or any restrictive use covenant or exclusive rights granted by Landlord; or (d) if the nature of the proposed assignee or subtenant or its business would not be consistent with the operation of a first class, institutional grade office building; or (e) if the proposed assignee or subtenant does not intend to occupy the Leased Premises for its own use, or (f) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is an existing tenant of the Project, or is a prospective tenant of the Project with whom Landlord or its broker have discussed leasing space in the last six (6) months and Landlord has space comparable to the Leased Premises available in the Building; or (g) if the use contemplated by the proposed assignee or subtenant would overburden, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the Parking Accommodations of the Project; or (h) if Tenant or an affiliate of Tenant is in breach or default of this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant relating to the Project.
21
18. USE OF LEASED PREMISES AND RUBBISH REMOVAL
18.1 Use. The Leased Premises are leased to Tenant solely for the Permitted Use set forth in Article 1.9 above and for no other purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the Leased Premises to be used or occupied, nor shall Tenant do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any casualty or other insurance on the Building, the Project or any of their respective contents, or make void or voidable or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building, the Project or any part thereof or any of their respective contents. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Project which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building, or the Project or injure them. Tenant shall not use or allow the Leased Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Project. In addition, Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Project. Tenant shall not use the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Project or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Project which will in any way conflict with any matters of record, or any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, and shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all matters of record and all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary as well as extraordinary, relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Project, excluding structural changes not relating to or affected by Tenant’s improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any matters of record, or any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact between Landlord and Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Leased Premises which exceeds the load per square foot, which the floor was designed to carry, nor shall Tenant install business machines or other mechanical equipment in the Leased Premises which cause noise or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building.
18.2 Rubbish Removal. Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises clean, both inside and outside, subject, however, to Landlord’s obligation as set forth in Article 6.2 above. Tenant shall not burn any materials or rubbish of any description upon the Leased Premises. Tenant shall keep all accumulated rubbish in covered containers. In the event Tenant fails to keep the Leased Premises in the proper condition, Landlord may cause the same to be done for Tenant and Tenant shall pay the expenses incurred by Landlord on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate, as Additional Rent. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all present and future laws, orders and regulations of all state, county, federal, municipal governments, departments, commissions and boards regarding the collection, sorting, separation, and recycling of waste products, garbage, refuse and trash. Tenant shall sort and separate such waste products, garbage, refuse and trash into such categories as provided by law. Each separately sorted category of waste products, garbage, refuse and trash shall be placed in separate receptacles reasonably approved by Landlord. Such separate receptacles may, at Landlord’s option, be removed from the Leased Premises in accordance with a collection schedule prescribed by law. Landlord reserves the right to refuse to collect or accept from Tenant any waste products, garbage, refuse or trash that is not separated and sorted as required by law, and to require Tenant to arrange for such collection at Tenant’s sole cost and expense using a contractor satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties or damages that may be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 18.2, and, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord’s agents and employees harmless (including legal fees and expenses) from and against, and shall be responsible for, all actions, claims, liabilities and suits arising from such noncompliance, utilizing counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
22
19. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
19.1 Subordination. This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall be, at the option of Landlord, subordinate to (a) all matters of record, (b) all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases (collectively referred to as the “leases”) of the Building or the Project now or hereafter existing, (c) all mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively referred to as the “mortgages”) which may now or hereafter encumber or affect the Building or the Project, and (d) all renewals, modifications, amendments, replacements and extensions of leases and mortgages and to spreaders and consolidations of the mortgages, whether or not leases or mortgages shall also cover other lands, buildings or leases, subject to the delivery to Tenant of a commercially reasonable form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from such Superior Lessor (as defined below) or Superior Mortgagee (as defined below), as the case may be. Any lease to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is called a “Superior Lease” and the lessor under a Superior Lease or its assigns or successors in interest is called a “Superior Lessor”. Any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is called a “Superior Mortgage” and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is called a “Superior Mortgagee”. If Landlord, a Superior Lessor or a Superior Mortgagee requires that such instruments be executed by Tenant, Tenant’s failure to do so within thirty (30) days after request therefor shall be deemed an Event of Default under this Lease. Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease because of any foreclosure proceedings. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord (and any successor Landlord) as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution coupled with an interest, to execute and deliver to any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee any documents required to be executed by Tenant for and on behalf of Tenant if Tenant shall have failed to do so within thirty (30) days after request therefore.
19.2 Attornment. If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale) succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action, or the delivery of a new lease or deed (a “Successor Landlord”), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment, provided, however, that such Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale) shall assume the obligations of the Landlord under this Lease, arising from and after the date of transfer.
23
Tenant shall, whenever requested by Landlord within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); (b) the dates to which Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (c) that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults if any are claimed; (d) that Tenant has paid Landlord the Security Deposit, (e) the Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term, (f) the rights (if any) of Tenant to extend or renew this Lease or to expand the Leased Premises and (g) the amount of Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges currently payable under this Lease. In addition, such statement shall provide such other information and facts Landlord may reasonably require. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective or existing purchaser, ground lessee or mortgagee of all or any portion of the Property, as well as by any other assignee of Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance hereunder; (iii) that Tenant has paid to Landlord the Security Deposit; (iv) that not more than one month’s installment of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent has been paid in advance; (v) that the Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term are as stated therein, (vii) that the Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges are as set forth therein and (viii) that the other information and facts set forth therein are true and correct. Landlord shall, whenever requested by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written request by Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant a statement in writing certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); (b) the dates to which Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (c) that there are not, to Landlord’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults if any are claimed; (d) the Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term, and (e) the amount of Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges currently payable under this Lease.
Landlord shall retain absolute control over the exterior appearance of the Building and the exterior appearance of the Leased Premises as viewed from the public halls. Tenant shall not install, or permit to be installed, any drapes, shutters, signs, lettering, advertising, or any items that will in any way, in the sole opinion of Landlord, adversely alter the exterior appearance of the Building or the exterior appearance of the Leased Premises as viewed from the public halls or the exterior of the Building. Landlord will initially provide to Tenant, at Landlord’s cost and expense: (i) one building standard tenant identification sign adjacent to the entry door of the Leased Premises and; (ii) one standard building directory listing. Tenant, at Tenant’s cost and expense, may install a sign panel (location to be determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion) on the Building’s monument sign. The foregoing signs will conform to Landlord’s sign criteria.
24
22.1 Parking Accommodations. Landlord shall provide, operate and maintain parking accommodations (the “Parking Accommodations”), together with necessary access, having a capacity adequate in Landlord’s opinion to accommodate the requirements of the Building. No storage of vehicles or parking for more than twenty-four (24) hours shall be allowed without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damage, loss or theft of property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Parking Accommodations from any cause whatsoever. Landlord shall have the right to establish, and from time to time change, alter and amend, and to enforce against all users of the Parking Accommodations, such reasonable requirements and restrictions as Landlord deems necessary and advisable for the proper operation and maintenance of the Parking Accommodations, including, without limitation, designation of particular areas for reserved, visitor and/or employee parking, and establishment of a reasonable rental charge for the use of the Parking Accommodations by tenants of the Building, the Project and/or the general public, as a part of the Rules and Regulations of the Building referenced in Article 29 below.
22.2 Parking Spaces. Tenant is hereby allocated the number of uncovered, unreserved parking spaces and covered, reserved parking spaces designated in Article 1.16 and Article 1.17 above, entitling Tenant and its designees to park in uncovered, unreserved parking spaces and covered, reserved parking spaces, as applicable, located in the Parking Accommodations as designated by Landlord from time to time for use by Tenant, its employees and licensees, and for which Tenant shall pay the monthly charges set forth in Articles 1.16 and 1.17 above. Landlord and Tenant shall execute, prior to the Commencement Date an Uncovered, Unreserved Parking License in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit “C-1” and a Covered, Reserved Parking License in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit “C-2”. Unreserved parking spaces shall be available to Tenant, its employees and licensees on a “first come, first serve” basis. From time to time, but not more frequently than once each calendar year, Landlord reserves the right to reasonably increase the parking charges set forth in Article 1.17. Tenant and its employees shall not be entitled to park in visitor parking spaces so designated by Landlord, or in any other parking spaces other than those designated by Landlord for use by Tenant.
Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises free and clear of all mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens. If, because of any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Tenant, any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other lien, charge or order for the payment of money shall be filed or recorded against the Leased Premises, the Project or the Building, or against any other property of Landlord (whether or not such lien, charge or order is valid or enforceable as such), Tenant shall, at its own expense, cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record within thirty (30) days after Tenant shall have received written notice of the filing thereof, or Tenant may, within such thirty (30) day period, furnish to Landlord, a bond pursuant to A.R.S. §33-1004 (or any successor statute) and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and all Superior Lessors and Superior Mortgagees against the lien, charge or order, in which case Tenant shall have the right to contest, in good faith, the validity or amount thereof.
It is agreed that the date of termination of this Lease and the right of Landlord to recover immediate possession of the Leased Premises thereupon is an important and material matter affecting the parties hereto and the rights of third parties, all of which have been specifically considered by Landlord and Tenant. In the event of any continued occupancy or holding over of the Leased Premises without the express written consent of Landlord beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or of Tenants right to occupy the Leased Premises, whether in whole or in part, or by leaving property on the Leased Premises or otherwise, this Lease shall be deemed a monthly tenancy and Tenant shall pay one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Annual Basic Rent then in effect, in advance at the beginning of the hold-over month(s), plus any Additional Rent or other charges or payments contemplated in this Lease, and any other costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord on account of Tenant’s holding over.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord all amounts for costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease or incurred in order to enforce or interpret the terms or provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall pay to Tenant all amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Tenant in connection with any uncured breach or default by Landlord under this Lease. Such amounts shall be payable within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the applicable party of a statement therefor. In addition, if any action shall be instituted by either of the parties hereto for the enforcement or interpretation of any of their respective rights or remedies in or under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all costs incurred by the prevailing party in such action and any appeal therefrom, including reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the court. Further, should Landlord be made a party to any litigation between Tenant and any third party, then Tenant shall pay all costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by or imposed upon Landlord in connection with such litigation.
25
26. RESERVED RIGHTS OF LANDLORD
Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, persons or business and without effecting an eviction, constructive or actual, or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession or giving rise to any claim:
(a) To name the Building and the Project and to change the name or street address of the Building or the Project;
(b) To install and maintain all signs on the exterior and interior of the Building and the Project;
(c) To designate all sources furnishing sign painting and lettering;
(d) To have pass keys to the Leased Premises and all doors therein, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes;
(e) On reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to exhibit the Leased Premises to any prospective tenant (during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term), purchaser, mortgagee, or assignee of any mortgage on the Building or the Project and to others having interest therein at any time during the Lease Term;
(f) To take any and all measures, including entering the Leased Premises for the purposes of making inspections, repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to the Leased Premises or to the Building (including, for the purposes of checking, calibrating, adjusting and balancing controls and other parts of the Building systems) as may be necessary or desirable for the operation, improvement, safety, protection or preservation of the Leased Premises or the Building, or in order to comply with all laws, orders and requirements of governmental or other authorities, or as may otherwise be permitted or required by this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall provide forty-eight (48) hours of notice (except in an emergency) and shall endeavor (except in an emergency) to minimize interference with Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises;
(g) To install, use and maintain in and through the Leased Premises, pipes, conduits, wires, ducts and other facilities serving the Building; provided, however, that Landlord shall endeavor (except in an emergency) to minimize interference with Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises;
(h) To relocate various facilities within the Building and on the Project if Landlord shall determine such relocation to be in the best interest of the development of the Building and/or the Project, provided, that such relocation shall not be located in or materially restrict access to the Leased Premises;
(i) To change the nature, extent, arrangement, use and location of the Building Common Areas; provided access to the Leased Premises and Tenant’s parking rights under the Lease are not adversely affected;
(j) To make alterations or additions to and to build additional stories on the Building and to build additional buildings or improvements on the Project that shall not materially restrict access to the Leased Premises; and
26
(k) To install vending machines of all kinds in the Leased Premises and the Building, and to receive all of the revenue derived therefrom, provided, however, that no vending machines shall be installed by Landlord in the Leased Premises unless Tenant so requests.
Landlord further reserves the exclusive right to the roof of the Building. No easement for light, air, or view is included in the leasing of the Leased Premises to Tenant. Accordingly, any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view by any structure which may be erected on the Project or other properties in the vicinity of the Building shall in no way affect this Lease or impose any liability upon Landlord.
27.1 Taking. If the whole of the Building is lawfully and permanently taken by condemnation or any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose, or by deed in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title in such condemning authority and the Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be pro rated to such date. If any part of the Building or Project is so taken, or if the whole of the Building is taken, but not permanently, then this Lease shall be unaffected thereby, except that (a) Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of vesting of title in the condemning authority, and (b) if twenty percent (20%) or more of the Leased Premises shall be permanently taken and the remaining portion of the Leased Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its business, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the date of vesting of title in such condemning authority. This Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt by Landlord of such notice, by which date Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord. The Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be pro rated to the earlier of the termination of this Lease or such date as Tenant is required to vacate the Leased Premises by reason of the taking. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of a partial taking of the Leased Premises, the Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably adjusted according to the extent to which Tenant’s ability to use and access the Leased Premises is impacted.
27.2 Award. In the event of a taking of all or any part of the Building or the Project, all of the proceeds or the award, judgment, settlement or damages payable by the condemning authority shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to any such award, judgment, settlement or damages to Landlord. Tenant shall, however, have the right, to the extent that the same shall not reduce or prejudice amounts available to Landlord, to claim from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation benefits, moving expenses, and damage to Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures.
Any notice or communication given under the terms of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person, sent by any public or private express delivery service or deposited with the United States Postal Service or a successor agency, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid, addressed as set forth in the Basic Provisions, or at such other address as a party may from time to time designate by notice hereunder. Notice shall be effective upon delivery. The inability to deliver a notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given or a rejection or other refusal to accept any notice shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept. Any notice to be given by Landlord may be given by the legal counsel and/or the authorized agent of Landlord.
27
Tenant shall abide by all rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Building and the Project imposed by Landlord, as attached to this Lease as Exhibit “D” or as may hereafter be issued by Landlord. Such Rules and Regulations are imposed to enhance the cleanliness, appearance, maintenance, order and use of the Leased Premises, the Building and the Property, and the proper enjoyment of the Building and the Project by all tenants and their clients, customers and employees. The Rules and Regulations may be changed from time to time upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to Tenant. Breach of the Rules and Regulations by Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default if such breach is not fully cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for nonperformance by any other tenant, occupant or invitee of the Building or the Project of any Rules or Regulations. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to uniformly and without discrimination enforce such rules and regulations against all tenants of the Building and all other users of the Building Common Areas.
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent (jointly called “Rent” in this Article 30), shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent due and not yet paid, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy in this Lease. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease, after the service of any notice relating to the termination of this Lease, after the commencement of any suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Leased Premises, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any such notice, demand, suit or judgment.
31.1 Hazardous Materials Laws. “Hazardous Materials Laws” means any and all federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules, decrees, orders, regulations or court decisions (including the so-called “common-law”) relating to hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous waste, toxic substances, environmental conditions on, under or about the Leased Premises, or soil and ground water conditions, including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., the Resource Conversation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), 42 X.X.X. §0000, et seq., the Hazardous Materials Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx, 00 X.X.X. §0000, et seq., any amendments to the foregoing, and any similar federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules, decrees, orders or regulations.
31.2 Hazardous Materials. “Hazardous Materials” means any chemical, compound, material, substance or other matter that: (i) is a flammable explosive, asbestos, radioactive material, nuclear medicine material, drug, vaccine, bacteria, virus, hazardous waste, toxic substance, petroleum product, or related injurious or potentially injurious material, whether injurious or potentially injurious by itself or in combination with other materials; (ii) is controlled, designated in or governed by any Hazardous Materials Law; (iii) gives rise to any reporting, notice or publication requirements under any Hazardous Materials Law; or (iv) gives rise to any liability, responsibility or duty on the part of Tenant or Landlord with respect to any third person under any Hazardous Materials Law.
28
31.3 Use. Tenant shall not allow any Hazardous Material to be used, generated, released, stored or disposed of on, under or about, or transported from, the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project, unless: (i) such use is specifically disclosed to and approved by Landlord in writing prior to such use; and (ii) such use is conducted in compliance with the provisions of this Article 31. Landlord may approve such use subject to reasonable conditions to protect the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project, and Landlord’s interests. Landlord may withhold approval if Landlord determines that such proposed use involves a material risk of a release or discharge of Hazardous Materials or a violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws or that Tenant has not provided reasonable assurances of its ability to remedy such a violation and fulfill its obligations under this Article 31.

(b) This Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Tenant, enforceable against Tenant in accordance with its terms, subject, however, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, general principles of equity, whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and to the qualification that certain waivers, procedures, remedies and other provisions of this Lease may be unenforceable under or limited by applicable law, however, none of the foregoing shall prevent the practical realization to Landlord of the benefits intended by this Lease;

30
32.8 No Waiver. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this Lease or the right to exercise such election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission.
32.9 Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is or becomes illegal or unenforceable because of any present or future law or regulation of any governmental body or entity effective during the Lease Term, the intention of the parties is that the remaining provisions of this Lease shall not be affected thereby.

Until this Lease has been executed by both Landlord and Tenant, Landlord reserves the right to exhibit and lease the Leased Premises to other prospective tenants.
32.12 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation of this Lease shall not work as a merger and shall, at Landlord’s option, either terminate any or all existing subleases or subtenancies, or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases or subtenancies.
32.13 Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inclement weather (including rain) inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, failure or disruption of utilities or critical electronic systems, governmental restrictions, regulations or controls (including delays in issuing required permits and approvals), judicial orders, acts of the public enemy (including terrorist acts), hostile government actions, civil commotion, fire or other casualty and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant or Landlord shall excuse the performance of the applicable party hereunder for the period of any such prevention, delay, or stoppage, except the obligations imposed with regard to Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

Upon any transfer or transfers of such interest, the Landlord herein named (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the then transferor) shall thereafter be relieved of all liability for the performance of any covenants or agreements on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease.
32.17 Limitation on Landlord’s Liability. If Landlord becomes obligated to pay Tenant any judgment arising out of any failure by the Landlord to perform or observe any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions to be performed or observed by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall be limited in the satisfaction of such judgment solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Property or any proceeds arising from the sale thereof and no other property or assets of Landlord or the individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or its constituent partners shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure whatsoever for the satisfaction of any such money judgment.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
Lot 5 according to the plat for Centerpointe at Deer Valley, recorded in Book 930, Page 45 and as Doc. No. 20070703115, Official Records of Maricopa County, Arizona.
Exhibit A-1
EXHIBIT “B”
OPTION TO EXTEND
Tenant is granted the option (“Extension Option”) to extend the initial Lease Term for an additional term of five (5) years (“Extension Term”) provided all of the Extension Conditions are met. If Tenant exercises the Extension Option, then during the Extension Term all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as applicable to the Leased Premises during the initial Lease Term shall apply during the Extension Term, except that (i) Tenant shall have no further right to renew this Lease, and (ii) Annual Basic Rent shall be the Fair Market Fixed Rent (as hereinafter defined). Landlord shall provide a determination of the Fair Market Fixed Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of the Fair Market Fixed Rent, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (x) that Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Fixed Rent is acceptable, or (y) that Landlord’s determination is not acceptable. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord’s notice within such thirty (30) day period, or if Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Fixed Rent, then the Fair Market Fixed Rent for the purposes of determining the Annual Basic Rent payable during the Extension Term shall be as determined by Landlord. However, if Tenant advises Landlord in writing during such thirty (30) day period that such Fair Market Fixed Rent is not acceptable, then within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s written notice, each of Tenant and Landlord shall select one real estate broker, which brokers shall jointly select a third broker (the “Third Broker”), each with at least ten (10) years’ experience in commercial real estate leasing in Phoenix, Arizona, and which is neutral with respect to the parties. Landlord’s broker, Tenant’s broker and the Third Broker shall each, within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the Third Broker, submit their respective determinations as to the Fair Market Fixed Rent. The average of the two closest such determinations shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Fixed Rent and shall be binding upon the parties. Landlord and Tenant shall each bear their own costs associated with their respective determinations of the Fair Market Fixed Rent and shall equally share the cost of the Third Broker. Promptly following the determination of the Fair Market Fixed Rent and prior to the commencement of the Extension Term, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, install new carpet in the Leased Premises and re-paint the interior of the Leased Premises, which new carpet and paint shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
“Extension Conditions” shall mean, as a condition to Tenant exercising the Extension Option: (a) Tenant gives Landlord written notice no less than nine (9) months prior to the commencement of the Extension Term and no more than twelve (12) months prior to the commencement of the Extension Term (“Tenant’s Extension Notice”) that Tenant is exercising the Extension Option and (b) at the date the Extension Option is exercised, and at the commencement of the Extension Term, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
