2. Premises. Landlord
leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises, together with the
right in common with others to use the Common Areas. Tenant accepts
the Premises, Building and Common Areas “AS IS”, without relying on any
representation, covenant or warranty by Landlord other than as expressly set
forth in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree to the
rentable square footage set forth in Section 1(a) without regard to actual
measurement.
3. Use. Tenant
shall occupy and use the Premises only for the Use specified in Section l
above. Tenant shall have access to and the right to use the Premises
to conduct business for Tenant’s permitted use at all times, twenty-four (24)
hours a day, seven (7) days a week, during the entire Term, subject to
Landlord’s rights to maintain, repair and/or replace any portion of the Property
as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or appropriate. Tenant shall
not permit any conduct or condition which shall endanger, disturb or otherwise
interfere with any other Building occupant’s normal operations or with the
management of the Building beyond that which is commercially
reasonable. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall
not use or permit the use of any portion of the Property for outdoor storage or
installations outside of the Premises. Tenant may use all Common
Areas only for their intended purposes. Landlord shall have exclusive
control of all Common Areas at all times.
4. Term; Possession. The
Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the
Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this
Lease. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, if Landlord is
delayed in delivering possession of all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant
as of the Commencement Date, Tenant will take possession on the date Landlord
delivers possession, which date will then become the Commencement Date (and the
Expiration Date will be extended so that the length of the Term remains
unaffected by such delay). Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant resulting
from any delay in delivering possession due to the holdover of any existing
tenant or other circumstances outside of Landlord’s reasonable
control.
5. Early
Occupancy. Subject to Force
Majeure Delays and Tenant Delays, Tenant and its authorized agents, employees
and contractors shall at all reasonable times on or after January 15, 2009 and
prior to the Commencement Date have the right, at Tenant’s own risk, expense and
responsibility, to access the Premises, provided that in so doing Tenant shall
not interfere with or delay the work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to
Section 28 hereof. If Tenant accesses the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, Tenant shall abide by the terms and conditions of this Lease
as if the term of this Lease had already commenced, except that Tenant shall
have no obligation to pay the Minimum Annual Rent, Annual Operating Expenses and
any other additional Rent or sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this
Lease, until the Commencement Date (it being acknowledged that nothing herein
shall impact the initial Minimum Annual Rent abatement during the first six (6)
months of the Term). Any such use of the Premises is also subject to,
and Tenant must comply with and observe, all applicable laws, all safety rules
and procedures, and all other terms and conditions of this Lease. In
no event may Tenant conduct business in the Premises during such early access
period. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant
resulting from any delay in delivering possession due to the holdover of any
existing tenant or other circumstances outside of Landlord’s reasonable
control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Premises are not available for access to Tenant on January 15, 2009, Tenant
shall receive a credit to Minimum Annual Rent equal to one (1) day of Minimum
Annual Rent for each day thereafter for which the Premises are not available,
which credits shall be applied to the first payment of Minimum Annual
Rent.
6. Options
to Extend Term. Provided that (a)
Landlord has not given Tenant notice of a monetary default and/or a material
non-monetary Event of Default more than seven (7) times
preceding the Expiration Date, (b) Tenant is not in default under this Lease
beyond any applicable notice and cure period(s) nor is there any event that with
the giving of notice and/or the passage of time would constitute a default, and
(c) Tenant (or a transferee permitted under Section 21(b)) is the
occupant of at least seventy five percent (75%) of the Premises, Tenant shall
have the right and option to extend the Term for three (3) additional periods of
sixty (60) months each, exercisable by giving Landlord prior written notice
(“Tenant’s Notice”), at least two hundred seventy (270) days in advance of the
Expiration Date (as may be extended by a renewal term) of Tenant's election to
extend the Term; it being agreed that time is of the essence and that this
option is personal to Tenant and any transferee permitted under Section 21(b)
and is non-transferable to any assignee or sublessee other than any transferee
permitted under Section 21(b). Such extension shall be under the same
terms and conditions as provided in this Lease except as follows:
(a) the additional period shall begin on the Expiration Date (as
may be extended by a renewal term);
(b) all
references to the Term in this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Term as
extended pursuant to this Section; and
(c) the
Minimum Annual Rent payable with its determination of Fair Market Value by
Tenant shall be ninety five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rental for the
Premises. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of its
proposed determination of Fair Market Value for the Premises within thirty (30)
days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice. The parties shall have
forty-five (45) days after Landlord has provided Tenant with Landlord’s proposed
determination of Fair Market Value for the Premises in order to agree on the
Minimum Annual Rent during such extended term. If the parties fail to
agree on the Minimum Annual Rent for such extended term during that period, then
(i) either party may elect to terminate this Lease at the end of the applicable
term or (ii) the parties may agree to determine the Fair Market Rental through
an appraisal. In the event the parties elect to establish the Fair
Market Rental through an appraisal process, Landlord and Tenant shall each
appoint one appraiser within thirty (30) days thereafter; provided, however,
that if either party fails to designate an appraiser within the time period
specified, then the appraiser who is designated shall conclusively determine the
Fair Market Rental. If two (2) appraisers are designated, then they
shall submit within thirty (30) days after the second thereof has been
designated their appraisals of the Fair Market Rental. Landlord and
Tenant intend that the "Fair Market Rental" shall be deemed to be the rentable
square feet of industrial space that is then being charged for industrial space
located in industrial buildings in the vicinity of the greater
Phoenix industrial market that are comparable in quality and offer similar
amenities to the Premises and involving arms length, new leases with similar
terms and conditions, taking into account the savings to the Landlord in putting
a new tenant into possession of the Premises and all concessions offered in such
other arms length new leases in the market (including without limitation free
rent, tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions, and moving
allowances). The spaces used for comparison shall be comparable in
size, quality and design to the Premises, and such spaces used for comparison
shall be comparable to the Premises with respect to their location within such
buildings, the quality and quantity of tenant improvements installed at each
landlord's expense, and the financial strength of Tenant, and, if available,
shall factor uses similar to Tenant’s permitted Use as set forth in Article 1(i)
of this Lease. Should the two appraisers be unable to agree within
said thirty (30) days, the two appraisers shall each submit an independent
written appraisal and together they shall designate one (1) additional person as
appraiser within five (5) days following the expiration of said thirty (30) day
period; provided however, that if the difference between the two appraisals is
five percent (5%) or less of the lowest appraisal, then an additional appraiser
shall not be designated and the Fair Market Rental shall equal the average of
the two (2) appraisals that are submitted. The third appraiser shall
submit an independent written appraisal within thirty (30) days following his or
her appointment. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon a third
appraiser, then either party hereunder may request that the presiding Judge of
the Maricopa County Superior Court appoint such third appraiser. The
Fair Market Rental shall be equal to the average of the two (2) written
appraisals which are closest, and third (3rd) appraisal shall be
disregarded. Each party shall bear the costs of the appraiser
appointed by it. If three (3) appraisers are appointed, each party
shall bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by it and the parties shall share
equally in the cost of the third appraiser. No person shall be
appointed or designated an appraiser unless he or she is (i) an independent
appraiser who is a currently certified member of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (with MM designation) and unless he or she has at least five
(5) years experience as an appraiser in Maricopa County, or (ii) a real estate
broker with at least ten (10) years experience in leasing of commercial office
space in the vicinity of the Premises. The third appraiser shall not
have ever been employed (full-time or part-time or on a consulting basis) by
Landlord or Tenant. In the event that the Fair Market Rental is not
established before the commencement of the extended term, Tenant shall continue
to pay the Minimum Annual Rent in effect as of the end of the original term;
when the Fair Market Rental has been established, the new Minimum Annual Rent
shall be retroactively effective as of the beginning of the extended term, and
Tenant shall pay Landlord any deficiency with in thirty (30) days after the
establishment of the new Minimum Annual Rent. If Tenant has overpaid
the Minimum Annual Rent during such period, such overpayment shall be offset
against rent thereafter coming due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
either Landlord or Tenant is not satisfied with the Fair Market Rental
determined by the appraisal process, such party may elect to terminate this
Lease at the end of the applicable term by providing written notice to the other
party within ten (10) days after the Fair Market Rent is determined by the
appraiser(s).
7. Option to
Terminate. Tenant shall have
the right and option, exercisable by giving Landlord a minimum of nine (9)
months prior written notice thereof, to terminate this Lease at the expiration
of the sixtieth (60) full month of the Term and by paying Landlord a
cancellation fee (on or prior to such expiration date) equal to the sum of (i)
nine (9) months (or ten (10) months if Tenant elects to utilize any portion of
the Additional Allowance, as hereinafter defined) of what would have been the
then existing Minimum Annual Rent during months sixty one (61) through sixty
nine (69) at the time of giving notice, plus (ii) nine (9) months (or ten (10)
months if Tenant elects to utilize any portion of the Additional Allowance, as
hereinafter defined) of estimated Operating Expenses to be paid by Tenant for
months sixty one (61) through sixty nine (69), such Operating Expenses to be
reconciled pursuant to Section 9 below thereafter. Tenant shall pay
all Rent under this Lease and abide by all of the terms and conditions of this
Lease through and including such early termination date.
8. Rent; Taxes. Tenant
agrees to pay to Landlord, without demand, deduction or offset, Minimum Annual
Rent and Annual Operating Expenses for the Term. Tenant shall pay the
Monthly Rent, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the
Term, at Landlord’s address designated in Section 1 above unless Landlord
designates otherwise; provided that Monthly Rent for the seventh (7th) month
of the first Lease Year shall be paid within ten (10) days after the
Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of
the month, the Monthly Rent for that partial month shall be apportioned on a per
diem basis and shall be paid on or before the Commencement
Date. Tenant shall pay Landlord a service and handling charge equal
to 5% of any Rent not paid within ten (10) days after the date
due. In addition, any Rent, including such charge, not paid within
fifteen (15) days after the due date will bear interest at the Interest Rate
from the date due to the date paid. Tenant shall pay before
delinquent all taxes levied or assessed upon, measured by, or arising from:
(a) the conduct of Tenant’s business; (b) Tenant’s leasehold estate;
or (c) Tenant’s property. Additionally, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord all sales, use, transaction privilege, or other excise tax that may at
any time be levied or imposed upon, or measured by, any amount payable by Tenant
under this Lease.
9. Operating
Expenses. The amount of the Annual Operating Expenses set
forth in Section 1(g) above represents Tenant’s Share of the estimated
Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which the Term
commences. Landlord may adjust such amount from time to time (but not
more than once per Lease Year) if the estimated Annual Operating Expenses
increase or decrease; Landlord may also invoice Tenant separately from time to
time for Tenant’s Share of any extraordinary or unanticipated Operating
Expenses. By April 30th of each year (and as soon as practical after
the expiration or termination of this Lease or, at Landlord’s option, after a
sale of the Property), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of
Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year or part
thereof. Within 30 days after delivery of the statement to Tenant,
Landlord or Tenant shall pay to the other the amount of any overpayment or
deficiency then due from one to the other or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may
credit Tenant’s account for any overpayment. If Tenant does not give
Landlord notice within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement
that Tenant disagrees with the statement and specifying the items and amounts in
dispute, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right to contest the
statement. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to pay any overpayment
or deficiency due the other pursuant to this Section shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may, in its reasonable
discretion, determine from time to time the method of computing and allocating
Operating Expenses, including the method of allocating Operating Expenses to
various types of space within the Building to reflect any disparate levels of
services provided to different types of space. If the Building is not
fully occupied during any period, Landlord may make a reasonable adjustment
based on occupancy in computing the Operating Expenses for such period so that
Operating Expenses are computed as though the Building had been fully
occupied. With respect to each year following the first full year in
which Landlord has received it full assessments, increases in "Controllable
Operating Expenses" shall not exceed 10% per year (on a cumulative basis)
without Tenant's prior written consent (which consent may be withheld by Tenant
in its sole discretion). Controllable Operating Expenses means all those
Operating Expenses chargeable to Tenant pursuant to this Lease (including,
without limitation, any roof repair and maintenance), but expressly excludes
real estate and association taxes and assessments, HVAC repair, maintenance and
replacement, utilities and insurance.
Tenant
shall be entitled at any reasonable time during regular business hours, but no
more than once in each calendar year, after giving to Landlord at least five (5)
business days prior written notice, to inspect in Landlord’s business office all
Landlord’s records necessary to satisfy itself that all Annual Operating
Expenses have been correctly allocated to Tenant, for either or both of the two
(2) calendar years immediately preceding the year during which such notice is
given, and to obtain an audit thereof by a reputable, independent certified
public accountant (selected by Tenant and who also provides non-auditing
services to Tenant) to determine the accuracy of Landlord’s certification of the
amount of Annual Operating Expenses charged Tenant. If it is
determined that Tenant’s liability for Annual Operating Expenses for either such
calendar year is less than ninety percent (90%) of that amount which Landlord
previously certified to Tenant for such calendar year, Landlord shall promptly
pay to Tenant the reasonable cost of such audit and regardless of such
percentage shall refund promptly to Tenant the amount of the additional rent
paid by Tenant for such calendar year which exceeds the amount for which Tenant
actually is liable, as determined following such audit. Except as set
forth above, Tenant shall bear the total cost of any such audit.
10. Utilities. Tenant
shall pay for water, sewer, gas, electricity, heat, power, telephone and other
communication services and any other utilities supplied to the
Premises. Landlord represents and warrants to its actual knowledge
that the following utilities shall be separately metered as of the Commencement
Date: all utilities other than water services. Except to the extent
Landlord elects to provide any such services and invoice Tenant for the cost or
include the cost in Operating Expenses, Tenant shall obtain service in its own
name and timely pay all charges directly to the provider. Landlord
shall not be responsible or liable for any interruption in such services, nor
shall such interruption affect the continuation or validity of this Lease,
provided, however, that Rent shall xxxxx if any utility service is not provided
to the Premises for more than five (5) continuous days due to Landlord’s
negligence. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select, and to change,
the companies providing such services to the Building or
Premises. Any wiring, cabling or other equipment necessary to connect
Tenant’s telecommunications equipment shall be Tenant’s responsibility, and
shall be installed in a manner approved by
Landlord.
11. Insurance;
Waivers; Indemnification.
(a) During
the Term, Landlord shall carry the following insurance:
(i) All Risk
or special risk form (or equivalent) property insurance (including a vandalism
and malicious mischief endorsement and sprinkler leakage coverage, and also
covering such other risks as Landlord or Landlord's lender may require) on the
Premises, Building, Property and common areas (but excluding any personal
property which Tenant is obligated to insure) in an amount not less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost thereof (excluding footings,
foundations and excavation), and including commercially reasonable rental loss
coverage for losses covered by such insurance policy. Such insurance shall
include insurance on the Tenant Improvements up to the Tenant Improvement
Allowance. The deductible under the property policy shall not exceed
such amount appropriate given prudent risk management
practices.
(ii)
Commercial general liability insurance coverage, including bodily injury and
property damage with a combined single limit of not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Landlord may satisfy its insurance obligations under
this Lease by blanket, umbrella and/or excess liability coverage, so long as the
coverage afforded under the applicable policy is not reduced or diminished as a
result thereof. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with not less than
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Tenant of policy cancellation, except
for cancellation due to non-payment of premium which requires only ten (10) days
notice by law. Such insurance shall be effected under valid and
enforceable policies issued by reputable insurers permitted to do business in
the State of Arizona and rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or any successor
thereto as having a “Best’s Rating” of “A-” and a “Financial Size Category” of
at least “X” or, if such ratings are not then in effect, the equivalent thereof
or such other financial rating as Lessee may at any time consider
appropriate.
(b) Tenant,
at its expense, shall keep in effect commercial general liability insurance,
including contractual liability insurance, covering Tenant’s use of the
Property, with such coverages and limits of liability as Landlord may reasonably
require, but not less than a $1,000,000 combined single limit with a $5,000,000
general aggregate limit (which general aggregate limit may be satisfied by an
umbrella liability policy) for bodily injury or property damage; however, such
limits shall not limit Tenant’s liability hereunder. Tenant shall
also maintain property insurance on the value of the Tenant Improvements over
and above the Tenant Improvement Allowance. The policies shall add
Landlord, Liberty Property Trust and at Landlord’s request, any Mortgagee(s), as
additional insureds, shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and not on a
“claims made” basis. The insurer shall be authorized to issue such
insurance in which the Property is located and rated at least “A-, X” in the
most current edition of Best’s Insurance Reports. Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date or any earlier date on
which Tenant accesses the Premises, and no later than 30 days after the date of
each policy renewal, a certificate of insurance evidencing such
coverage.
(c) Landlord
and Tenant each waive, and release each other from and against, all claims for
recovery against the other for any loss or damage to the property of such party
arising out of fire or other casualty coverable by a standard “Causes of
Loss-Special Form” property insurance policy with, in the case of Tenant, such
endorsements and additional coverages as are considered good business practice
in Tenant’s business, even if such loss or damage shall be brought about by the
fault or negligence of the other party or its Agents; provided, however, such
waiver by Landlord shall not be effective with respect to Tenant’s liability
described in Section 13(f) below. This waiver and release is
effective regardless of whether the releasing party actually maintains the
insurance described above in this subsection and is not limited to the amount of
insurance actually carried, or to the actual proceeds received after a
loss. Each party shall have its insurance company that issues its
property coverage waive any rights of subrogation, and shall have the insurance
company include an endorsement acknowledging this waiver, if
necessary. Tenant assumes all risk of damage to Tenant’s
personal property within the Property, including any loss or damage caused by
water leakage, fire, windstorm, explosion, theft or any other perils typically
covered by standard property insurance policies, except to the extent caused by
Landlord’s breach of any of its obligations under this Lease.
(d) Subject
to subsection (c) above, and except to the extent caused by the negligence
or willful misconduct of Landlord or its Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend,
and hold harmless Landlord and its Agents from and against any and all claims,
actions, damages, liability and expense (including fees of attorneys,
investigators and experts) which may be asserted against, imposed upon, or
incurred by Landlord or its Agents and arising out of or in connection with loss
of life, personal injury or damage to property in or about the Premises or
arising out of the occupancy or use of the Property by Tenant or its Agents or
occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant or its Agents,
whether prior to, during or after the Term. Tenant’s obligations
pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Lease, but only to the extent that the causes giving rise to Tenant's
obligations under this Article 11.(d) occur before the expiration of this
Lease.
(e) Subject
to the terms of this Lease, Landlord will protect, indemnify and hold harmless
Tenant and its Agents from and against any and all claims, actions, damages,
liability and expense (including fees of attorneys, investigators and experts)
in connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property caused to
any person in or about the Premises occasioned wholly or in part by the
negligence of Landlord or its Agents, except to the extent such loss, injury or
damage was caused by the negligence of Tenant or its Agents. In case any action
or proceeding is brought against Tenant and/or its Agents by reason of the
foregoing, Landlord, at its expense, shall resist and defend such action or
proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel (reasonably
acceptable to Tenant and its Agents) designated by the insurer whose policy
covers such occurrence or by counsel designated by Landlord and approved by
Tenant and its Agents. Landlord’s obligations pursuant to this Section shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, but only to the extent that
the causes giving rise to Landlord’s obligations under this Article 11.(e) occur
before the expiration of this Lease.
12. Maintenance
and Repairs.
(a) Landlord
shall Maintain the: (i) Building footings, foundations, structural
steel columns and girders, floor slab and other structural components of the
Property at Landlord’s sole expense; (ii) Building exterior walls; (iii)
Building Systems; and (iv) Common Areas. Costs incurred by
Landlord under the foregoing subsections (ii), (iii) and (iv) will be included
in Operating Expenses provided that to the extent any heating, ventilation and
air conditioning system, or other Building System, equipment or fixture
exclusively serves the Premises, Landlord may elect either to Maintain the same
at Tenant’s sole expense and xxxx Tenant directly or by notice to Tenant require
Tenant to Maintain the same at Tenant’s expense.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for any repairs or replacements of
any heating, ventilation and air conditioning system ("HVAC"):
(i) located
in the office area, and to the extent any such single repair or replacement
exceeds $1,000.00 per unit, Landlord shall pass on to Tenant for the remainder
of the Term its pro rata share of such cost amortized over the useful life of
such repair or replacement determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and
(ii) located
in the warehouse area, and to the extent any such single repair or replacement
exceeds $1,000.00 per unit, Landlord shall pass on to Tenant for the remainder
of the Term its pro rata share of such cost amortized over the remainder of the
Term.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any repair or replacement of the HVAC that results from damage
caused by Tenant or Tenant's Agents shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant
at Tenant's sole expense. Landlord shall be responsible for securing
the HVAC maintenance contract at Tenant's sole expense. In the event
Landlord’s HVAC maintenance contract exceeds prevailing market financial terms,
Tenant shall have the right to require Landlord to bid out such contract upon
expiration of the existing contract. If Tenant becomes aware of any
condition that is Landlord’s responsibility to repair, Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord of the condition.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord shall Maintain the roof and the costs thereof shall be
shared as follows:
(i) to
the extent any single repair costs less than $10,000.00, Tenant shall promptly
reimburse Landlord for such cost;
(ii) to
the extent any single repair costs $10,000.00 or more, Landlord shall pass on to
Tenant for the remainder of the Term its pro rata share of such cost amortized
over the useful life of such roof repair determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
(iii) if
during the Term the entire structure of the roof must be replaced, Landlord
shall replace the roof at Landlord’s sole expense.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any repair or replacement of the roof that results from damage
caused by Tenant or Tenant's Agents shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant
at Tenant's sole expense.
(b) Except as
provided in subsection (a) above, Tenant at its sole expense shall Maintain the
interior, non-structural portions of the Premises and all fixtures and equipment
in the Premises. All repairs and replacements by Tenant shall utilize
materials and equipment which are comparable to those originally used in
constructing the Building and Premises. Alterations, repairs and
replacements to the Property, including the Premises, made necessary because of
Tenant’s Alterations or installations or any use or circumstances special or
particular to Tenant or any act or omission of Tenant or its Agent, shall be
made by Landlord or Tenant as set forth above, but at the sole expense of Tenant
to the extent not covered by any applicable insurance proceeds paid to
Landlord.
13. Compliance.
(a) Tenant
will, at its expense, promptly comply with all Laws now or subsequently
pertaining to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or Tenant’s
business conducted within the Premises. Tenant will pay any taxes or
other charges by any authority on Tenant’s property or trade fixtures or
relating to Tenant’s use of the Premises. Neither Tenant nor its
Agents shall use the Premises in any manner that under any Law would require
Landlord to make any Alteration to or in the Building or Common Areas (without
limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner that
would cause the Premises or the Property to be deemed a “place of public
accommodation” under the ADA if such use would require any such
Alteration). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the ADA, and any
other Laws regarding accessibility, with respect to the Premises, except to the
extent such compliance is required (i) by Tenant’s particular use or occupancy
of the Premises or as a result of Tenant’s business conducted within the
Premises, or (ii) as a result of any Alteration performed by Tenant after the
Commencement Date.
(ii) Except
for Tenant's obligations pursuant to Article 13(a)(i) above, Landlord,
throughout the Term of this Lease, shall comply with all Laws concerning the
Property, and such compliance costs shall (subject to the Exclusions, as
hereinafter defined) be chargeable to Tenant as Operating Expenses; provided,
however, that in the event that Landlord receives notice that the Building is
not in compliance with applicable Laws existing as of the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall make such modifications as may be required by order or directive
of any applicable governmental authority in order to bring the Building into
compliance with applicable Laws as of the Commencement Date without cost or
expense to Tenant and without including such cost or expense as an Operating
Expense.
(b) Tenant
will comply, and will use reasonable efforts to cause its Agents to comply, with
the Building Rules.
(c) Tenant
agrees not to do anything or fail to do anything which will increase the cost of
Landlord’s insurance (unless Tenant agrees to pay for such increase) or which
will prevent Landlord from procuring policies (including public liability) from
companies and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If any
breach of the preceding sentence by Tenant causes the rate of fire or other
insurance to be increased, Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase as
additional Rent within 30 days after being billed.
(d) Landlord
hereby discloses to Tenant that the Premises and Building are a portion of a
larger development known as Cotton Center, and that Cotton Center consists of
certain improvements for the benefit of all owners and occupants in Cotton
Center, in accordance with the following recorded documents (collectively, the "

which cover, among other items, repair and maintenance of improvements within
Cotton Center, such as sidewalks, curbs, landscape areas, fountains and
lighting. Tenant hereby acknowledges prior receipt of the Cotton
Center CC&Rs.
(e) Landlord
further discloses to Tenant that the Premises and Building are subject to the
following recorded documents (collectively, the "Xxxxxx Cotton Center

CC&Rs, residents of Cotton Center are assessed association fees and other
charges, which cover, among other items, repair and maintenance of improvements
within Cotton Center, such as sidewalks, curbs, landscape areas, fountains and
lighting. Tenant hereby acknowledges prior receipt of the Xxxxxx
Cotton Center CC&Rs.
(f) Tenant
agrees that (i) no activity will be conducted on the Premises that will use
or produce any Hazardous Materials, except for activities which are part of the
ordinary course of Tenant’s business and are conducted in accordance with all
Environmental Laws (“Permitted Activities”); (ii) the Premises will not be
used for storage of any Hazardous Materials, except for materials used in the
Permitted Activities which are properly stored in a manner and location
complying with all Environmental Laws; (iii) no portion of the Premises or
Property will be used by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents for disposal of Hazardous
Materials; (iv) Tenant will deliver to Landlord copies of all Material
Safety Data Sheets and other written information prepared by manufacturers,
importers or suppliers of any chemical; and (v) Tenant will immediately
notify Landlord of any violation by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents of any
Environmental Laws or the release or suspected release of Hazardous Materials
in, under or about the Premises, and Tenant shall immediately deliver to
Landlord a copy of any notice, filing or permit sent or received by Tenant with
respect to the foregoing. If at any time during or after the Term,
any portion of the Property is found to be contaminated and such contamination
was caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents or subject to conditions prohibited in
this Lease caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, actions, liabilities,
costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages and obligations of any nature arising
from or as a result thereof, and Landlord shall have the right to direct
remediation activities, all of which shall be performed at Tenant’s
cost. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall expire
on the last day of the second year after the expiration or earlier termination
date of this Lease.
14. Signs. Tenant
shall not place any signs on the Property without the prior consent of Landlord
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned),
other than signs that are located wholly within the interior of the Premises and
not visible from the exterior of the Premises. Tenant shall maintain
all signs installed by Tenant in good condition. Tenant shall remove its signs
at the termination of this Lease, shall repair any resulting damage, and shall
restore the Property to its condition existing prior to the installation of
Tenant’s signs.
15. Alterations. Except
for non-structural Alterations that (i) do not exceed $50,000 in the
aggregate, (ii) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises,
(iii) do not affect any Building System or the structural strength of the
Building, (iv) do not require penetrations into the floor, ceiling or
walls, and (v) do not require work within the walls, below the floor or
above the ceiling, Tenant shall not make or permit any Alterations in or to the
Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. With respect to any
Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not the Alteration
requires Landlord’s consent): (i) not less than 10 days prior to commencing
any Alteration, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the plans, specifications and
necessary permits for the Alteration, together with certificates evidencing that
Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors have adequate insurance coverage adding
Landlord, Liberty Property Trust and any other associated or affiliated entity
as their interests may appear as additional insureds, (ii) Tenant shall
obtain Landlord’s prior written approval of any contractor or subcontractor,
(iii) the Alteration shall be constructed with new materials, in a good and
workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Laws and the plans and
specifications delivered to, and, if required above, approved by Landlord, and
(iv) Tenant shall pay Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses in
connection with Landlord’s review of Tenant’s plans and specifications, and of
any supervision or inspection of the construction Landlord deems
necessary.
Any
Alteration by Tenant (other than Tenant Improvements up to the value of the
Tenant Improvement Allowance) shall be the property of Tenant until the
expiration or termination of this Lease; at that time without payment by
Landlord the Alteration shall remain on the Property and become the property of
Landlord, unless Landlord gives written notice to Tenant (in accordance with the
next sentence) to remove it, in which event Tenant will remove it, will repair
any resulting damage and will restore the Premises to the condition existing
prior to Tenant’s Alteration. At Tenant’s request prior to Tenant
making any Alterations, Landlord will notify Tenant whether Tenant is required
to remove the Alterations (“Required Removal Alterations”) at the expiration or
termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the
right (but not the obligation except as to Required Removal Alterations) to
remove any and all Alterations upon expiration of the Lease, provided that
Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. Tenant may
install its trade fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises, provided
that the installation and removal of them will not affect any structural portion
of the Property, any Building System or any other equipment or facilities
serving the Building or any occupant. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation or right to
remove the Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined).
16. Mechanics’
Liens. Tenant promptly shall pay for any labor, services,
materials, supplies or equipment furnished to Tenant in or about the
Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property free from
any liens arising out of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to Tenant. Tenant shall
take all steps permitted by law in order to avoid the imposition of any such
lien. Should any such lien or notice of such lien be filed against
the Premises or the Property, Tenant shall discharge the same by bonding or
otherwise within thirty (30) days after Tenant has notice that the lien or claim
is filed regardless of the validity of such lien or claim.
17. Landlord’s
Right of Entry. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its Agents to
enter the Premises at all reasonable times following reasonable notice (except
in an emergency) to inspect, Maintain, or make Alterations to the Premises or
Property, to exhibit the Premises for the purpose of sale or financing, and,
during the last 12 months of the Term, to exhibit the Premises to any
prospective tenant. Landlord will make reasonable efforts not to
inconvenience Tenant in exercising such rights, but Landlord shall not be liable
for any interference with Tenant’s occupancy resulting from Landlord’s
entry.
18. Damage by
Fire or Other Casualty. If the Premises or Common Areas shall
be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord, and Landlord, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section,
shall repair such damage and restore the Premises or Common Areas to
substantially the same condition in which they were immediately prior to such
damage or destruction, but not including the repair, restoration or replacement
of the fixtures, equipment, or Alterations installed by or on behalf of Tenant
(other than the Tenant Improvements). Landlord shall notify Tenant,
within 30 days after the date of the casualty, if Landlord anticipates that the
restoration will take more than 180 days from the date of the casualty to
complete; in such event, either Landlord or Tenant (unless the damage was caused
by Tenant) may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of casualty by
giving notice to the other within 30 days after Landlord’s notice. If the
restoration actually takes more than 240 days from the date of the casualty to
complete, in such event Tenant (unless the damage was caused by Tenant) may
terminate this Lease effective as of the date of casualty by giving notice to
the other within 210 days from the date of the casualty. If a
casualty occurs during the last 12 months of the Term, Landlord may terminate
this Lease unless Tenant has the right to extend the Term for at least 3 more
years and does so within 30 days after the date of the
casualty. Moreover, Landlord may terminate this Lease if the loss is
not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Landlord under this
Lease. Tenant will receive an abatement of Minimum Annual Rent,
Annual Operating Expenses and other Rent to the extent the Premises are rendered
untenantable as a result of the casualty.
19. Condemnation. If
(a) all of the Premises are Taken, (b) any part of the Premises is
Taken and the remainder is insufficient in Landlord’s or Tenant’s opinion for
the reasonable operation of Tenant’s business, or (c) any of the Property
is Taken, and, in Landlord’s opinion, it would be impractical or the
condemnation proceeds are insufficient to restore the remainder, then this Lease
shall terminate as of the date the condemning authority takes
possession. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall restore
the Building to a condition as near as reasonably possible to the condition
prior to the Taking, the Minimum Annual Rent, Annual Operating Expenses and
other Rent shall be abated for the period of time all or a part of the Premises
is untenantable in proportion to the square foot area untenantable, and this
Lease shall be amended appropriately. The compensation awarded for a
Taking shall belong to Landlord, except as provided in the next
sentence. Except for any relocation benefits and award for loss of
business, Tenant’s Alterations, trade fixtures and equipment to which Tenant may
be entitled provided same do not reduce the amount of Landlord’s award, Tenant
hereby assigns all claims against the condemning authority to Landlord,
including, but not limited to, any claim relating to Tenant’s leasehold
estate.
20. Quiet
Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon performing all
of its covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, shall have quiet and
peaceful possession of the Premises as against anyone claiming by or through
Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.
21. Assignment
and Subletting.
(a) Except as
provided in Section (b) below, Tenant shall not enter into nor permit any
Transfer voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s
consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if (i) the proposed
transferee is an existing tenant of Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord,
(ii) the business, business reputation or creditworthiness of the proposed
transferee is unacceptable to Landlord, or (iii) Tenant is in default
under this Lease or any act or omission has occurred which would constitute a
default with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time. A consent to one
Transfer shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
Transfer. In no event shall any Transfer relieve Tenant from any
obligation under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent from any
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this
Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. Any Transfer not in
conformity with this Section 21 shall be void at the option of
Landlord.
(b) Landlord’s
consent shall not be required in the event of any Transfer by Tenant to an
Affiliate provided that (i), Tenant provides Landlord notice of the
Transfer at least 15 days prior to the effective date, and (ii) in the case
of an assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord within 30 days after
the effective date an assumption agreement executed by Tenant and the Affiliate,
together with a certificate of insurance evidencing the Affiliate’s compliance
with the insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease.
(c) The
provisions of subsection (a) above notwithstanding, if Tenant proposes to
Transfer all of the Premises (other than to an Affiliate), Landlord may
terminate this Lease, either conditioned on execution of a new lease between
Landlord and the proposed transferee or without that condition. If
Tenant proposes to enter into a Transfer of less than all of the Premises (other
than to an Affiliate), Landlord may amend this Lease to remove the portion of
the Premises to be transferred, either conditioned on execution of a new lease
between Landlord and the proposed transferee or without that
condition.
(d) If any
assignment or sublease provides for the receipt by, on behalf of or on account
of Tenant of any consideration of any kind whatsoever (including, without
limitation, a premium rental for a sublease or a lump sum payment for an
assignment) in excess of the Minimum Annual Rent and/or additional rent payable
under this Lease (or in the case of a subletting of less than all of the
Premises, in excess of the pro rata portion of the Minimum Annual Rent and/or
additional rent allocable to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet),
any such excess shall be retained by Tenant.
(e) If Tenant
requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at
least 15 days prior to the proposed Transfer, current financial statements of
the transferee certified by an executive officer of the transferee, a complete
copy of the proposed Transfer documents, and any other information Landlord
reasonably requests. Immediately following any approved assignment or
sublease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an assumption agreement reasonably
acceptable to Landlord executed by Tenant and the transferee, together with a
certificate of insurance evidencing the transferee’s compliance with the
insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord for reasonable administrative and attorneys’ fees in
connection with the processing and documentation of any Transfer for which
Landlord’s consent is requested.
22. Subordination;
Mortgagee’s Rights.
(a) Tenant
accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any Mortgage now or in the future
affecting the Premises, provided that Tenant’s right of possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed by the Mortgagee so long as Tenant is not in
default under this Lease beyond the expiration of an applicable notice and cure
period. This clause shall be self-operative, but within twenty (20)
days after request, Tenant shall execute and deliver any further instruments
confirming the subordination of this Lease and any further instruments of
attornment that the Mortgagee may reasonably request and so long as
the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver a non-disturbance agreement in the form
reasonably requested by the Mortgagee. However, any Mortgagee may at
any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by
giving notice to Tenant, and this Lease shall then be deemed prior to such
Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery;
provided that such subordination shall not affect any Mortgagee’s rights with
respect to condemnation awards, casualty insurance proceeds, intervening liens
or any right which shall arise between the recording of such Mortgage and the
execution of this Lease.
(b) No
Mortgagee shall be (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord,
(ii) subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord,
(iii) bound by any amendment of this Lease made without its written
consent, or (iv) bound by payment of Monthly Rent more than one month in
advance or liable for any other funds paid by Tenant to Landlord unless such
funds actually have been transferred to the Mortgagee by
Landlord. Landlord represents and warrants that as of the Date of
this Lease there is no Mortgage encumbering the Property. Landlord
covenants that between the Date of this Lease and the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall not encumber the Property with any Mortgage; provided, however,
that Landlord shall have the right to so encumber the Property during such
period so long as the Mortgagee agrees in writing that such Mortgagee shall be
liable for Landlord’s obligations under the Lease to perform and complete the
Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined) and to make available to Tenant the
Tenant Improvements Allowance and Additional Allowance (each as hereinafter
defined).
(c) The
provisions of Sections 18 and 19 above notwithstanding, Landlord’s obligation to
restore the Premises after a casualty or condemnation shall be subject to the
consent and prior rights of any Mortgagee.
23. Tenant’s
Certificate; Financial Information. Within twenty (20) days
after Landlord’s request from time to time, (a) Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, for the benefit of Landlord, Mortgagee, any
prospective Mortgagee, and any prospective purchaser of Landlord’s interest in
the Property, an estoppel certificate in the form of attached Exhibit “C” (or other
form requested by Landlord), modified as necessary to accurately state the facts
represented (provided Landlord shall not make such request more than 2 times per
calendar year), and (b) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, Landlord’s
Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee and/or prospective purchaser reasonably
requested financial information, unless such financial information is available
to the general public over the internet.
24. Surrender.
(a) On the
date on which this Lease expires or terminates, Tenant shall return possession
of the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as same were in on the
Commencement Date, except for ordinary wear and tear, except for casualty or
condemnation damage or other conditions that Tenant is not required to remedy
under this Lease, and for acts of God and the elements. Prior to the
expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove from the Property
all wiring and cabling (unless Landlord directs Tenant otherwise), all
furniture, trade fixtures and equipment, and all other personal property
installed by Tenant or its assignees or subtenants. Tenant shall
repair any damage resulting from such removal and shall restore the Property to
good order and condition. Any of Tenant’s personal property not
removed as required shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord, at Tenant’s
expense, may remove, store, sell or otherwise dispose of such property in such
manner as Landlord may see fit and/or Landlord may retain such property or sale
proceeds as its property. If Tenant does not return possession of the
Premises to Landlord in the condition required under this Lease, Tenant shall
pay Landlord all resulting damages Landlord may suffer.
(b) Provided
Tenant gives Landlord not less than six (6) months prior written notice of such
holdover, Tenant shall have the right to holdover in possession of the Premises
for up to four (4) months (the “Initial Holdover Period”) under the same terms
and conditions of this Lease, with the exception that (i) the Minimum Monthly
Rent during the Initial Holdover Period shall be 103% of the immediately
preceding Minimum Monthly Rent, (ii) Tenant shall be allowed to vacate the
Premises at any time during such four (4) month period after giving Landlord
thirty (30) days prior written notice, and (iii) Tenant shall not be liable for
any damages, including consequential damages, that Landlord suffers as a result
of the holdover. If notice was not properly provided by Tenant for
the Initial Holdover Period or if Tenant remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration or termination of the Initial Holdover Period, Tenant’s
occupancy of the Premises shall be that of a tenancy at
will. Tenant’s occupancy during any holdover period after the Initial
Holdover Period (or after the Expiration Date if notice was not property given
by Tenant for the Initial Holdover Period) shall otherwise be subject to the
provisions of this Lease (unless clearly inapplicable), except that the Minimum
Monthly Rent shall be 125% of the immediately preceding Minimum Monthly Rent
during the holdover period. No holdover or payment by Tenant
after the expiration or termination of the Initial Holdover Period shall operate
to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of
the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. Any provision in
this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, any holdover by Tenant (other than
during the Initial Holdover Period) shall constitute a default on the part of
Tenant under this Lease entitling Landlord to exercise, without obligation to
provide Tenant any notice or cure period, all of the remedies available to
Landlord in the event of a Tenant default, and Tenant shall be liable for all
damages, including consequential damages, that Landlord suffers as a result of
the holdover.
25. Defaults
- Remedies.
(a) It shall
be an Event of Default:
(i) If Tenant
does not pay in full when due any and all Rent and, except as provided in
Section 25(c) below, Tenant fails to cure such default on or before the
date that is ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of
default;
(ii) If Tenant
enters into or permits any Transfer in violation of Section 21
above;
(iii) If Tenant
fails to observe and perform or otherwise breaches any other provision of this
Lease, and, except as provided in Section 25(c) below, Tenant fails to cure
the default on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after
Landlord gives Tenant notice of default; provided, however, if the default
cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s giving
of notice, Tenant shall be afforded additional reasonable time to cure the
default if Tenant begins to cure the default within ten (10) days following
Landlord’s notice and continues diligently in good faith to completely cure the
default; or
(iv) If Tenant
becomes insolvent or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or
offers a settlement to creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy or for
reorganization or for an arrangement with creditors under any federal or state
law is filed by or against Tenant, or a xxxx in equity or other proceeding for
the appointment of a receiver for any of Tenant’s assets is commenced, or if any
of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be levied upon; provided that
any proceeding brought by anyone other than Landlord or Tenant under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall not constitute an
Event of Default until such proceeding has continued unstayed for more than
ninety (90) consecutive days.
(b) If an
Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies
provided same are exercised in accordance with applicable Laws:
(i) Landlord,
without any obligation to do so, may upon fourteen (14) days prior written
notice (except in emergency) to Tenant elect to cure the default on behalf of
Tenant, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums
paid or costs incurred by Landlord (together with an administrative fee of 15%
thereof) in curing the default, plus interest at the Interest Rate from the
respective dates of Landlord’s incurring such costs, which sums and costs
together with interest at the Interest Rate shall be deemed additional
Rent;
(ii) To enter
and repossess the Premises, by breaking open locked doors if necessary, and
remove all persons and all or any property, by action at law or otherwise,
without being liable for prosecution or damages. Landlord may, at
Landlord’s option, make Alterations and repairs in order to relet the Premises
and relet all or any part(s) of the Premises for Tenant’s
account. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency
(taking into account all costs incurred by Landlord) that may arise by reason of
such reletting. In the event of reletting without termination of this
Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for
such previous breach;
(iii) To
accelerate the whole or any part of the Rent for the balance of the Term, and
declare the same to be immediately due and payable; and
(iv) To
terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to
save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any
condition, term or covenant broken.
(c) If
Landlord elects to accelerate Rent pursuant to Section 23(b)(iii) above,
Landlord shall be entitled to recover the following amounts (reduced by the
amount of loss of Rent that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided):
(i) The worth
at the time of award of any unpaid Rent and other charges which has been earned
at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) The worth
at the time of award of the amount of any Rent and other charges which would
have been earned after termination until the award; plus
(iii) The worth
at the time of award of the amount of any unpaid Rent and other charges which
Tenant would have paid for the balance of the Term after the time of award;
plus
(iv) Any other
amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused
by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including without
limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in (a) maintaining or
preserving the Premises after such default, (b) recovering possession of the
Premises, including reasonable attorneys’ fees therefore, (c) expenses of
reletting the Premises to a new tenant, including necessary renovations or
alterations of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred, and leasing
commissions incurred; plus
(v) Such
other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted
from time to time by the laws of the State where the Project is
located.
As used
in subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is
computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of 6.0% per
annum.
For
purposes of this Section 25, all Rent other than Minimum Annual Rent, shall, for
purposes of calculating any amount due under the provisions of subparagraph
(iii) above, be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount of Rent
payable by Tenant during the immediately preceding 36 month period, except that
if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before such 36 months of the Term
expired, then such Rent shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly
amount of Rent payable during such shorter period.
(d) Any
provision to the contrary in this Section 25 notwithstanding,
(i) Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant the notice and
opportunity to cure provided in Section 25(a) above more than twice in any
consecutive 12-month period, and thereafter Landlord may declare an Event of
Default without affording Tenant any of the notice and cure rights provided
under this Lease, and (ii) Landlord shall not be required to give such
notice prior to exercising its rights under Section 25(b) if Tenant fails
to comply with the provisions of Sections 16, 32 or 23 in an
emergency.
(e) No waiver
by Landlord of any breach by Tenant shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach,
nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant
be a waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any
subsequent breach. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused
by Tenant’s default shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover
damages hereunder. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy
provided herein or by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every
other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of
a lesser amount than the total amount due Landlord under this Lease shall be
deemed to be other than on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on
any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover
the balance of Rent due, or Landlord’s right to pursue any other available
remedy.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall make reasonable effort
to mitigate its damages to the extent required under applicable Laws; provided
that if, after the date hereof, the Laws shall change so that Landlord shall not
be required to perform any mitigation of its damages, following repossession of
the Premises, Landlord agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to re-let
the Premises at such rates and under such terms as are then commercially
reasonable.
(g) If either
party commences an action against the other party arising out of or in
connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and
recover from the other party attorneys’ fees, costs of suit, investigation
expenses and discovery costs, including costs of appeal.
(h) Landlord
and Tenant waive the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding based
upon or related to, the subject matter of this Lease.
26. Tenant’s
and Landlord’s Authority. Tenant represents and warrants to
Landlord that: (a) Tenant is duly formed, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the state under which Tenant is organized,
and qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located, and
(b) the person(s) signing this Lease are duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant. Landlord represents and
warrants to Tenant that: (a) Landlord is duly formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state under which Landlord
is organized, and qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is
located, and (b) the person(s) signing this Lease are duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Landlord.
27. Liability
of Landlord and Tenant. The word “Landlord” in this Lease
includes the Landlord executing this Lease as well as its successors and
assigns, each of which shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities
and privileges as it would have had it originally signed this Lease as
Landlord. Any such person or entity, whether or not named in this
Lease, shall have no liability under this Lease after it ceases to hold title to
the Premises except for obligations already accrued. Tenant shall
look solely to Landlord’s successor in interest for the performance of the
covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder which subsequently
accrue. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this
Lease unless Tenant gives Landlord notice specifying the default and Landlord
fails to cure the default within a reasonable period following Tenant’s
notice. Neither Landlord nor any principal of Landlord nor any owner
of the Property, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal
liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or the Premises;
Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Property for the
satisfaction of any claim by Tenant against Landlord.
In no
event shall Landlord or Tenant be liable to the other party for any loss of
business or profits of such party or for consequential, punitive or special
damages of any kind, except for Tenant’s liability for damages under Section
24(b) above.
28. Tenant Improvements; Tenant
Allowance.
(a) Landlord,
through the Contractor and subcontractors, shall complete construction of the
improvements agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant (the "Tenant Improvements")
in accordance with this Section 28. Landlord and shall deliver
such Premises in its then “as is” condition, except as set forth in this
Lease. Landlord agrees to complete such construction at Tenant’s sole
expense (except as otherwise provided in Exhibit
“D” attached hereto) equal to the aggregate of all costs, expenses and
fees incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection therewith (the “Tenant’s
Cost”), including without limitation (i) architectural, engineering and design
costs (whether incurred by Landlord or Tenant), (ii) the cost charged to
Landlord by Landlord’s general contractor (the "Contractor") and all
subcontractors for performing such construction, and (iii) the cost to Landlord
of performing directly any portion of such construction. Landlord
agrees to credit Tenant with an allowance equal to Forty-Three and 00/100
Dollars ($43.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Tenant
Improvement Allowance”). Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the
Minimum Annual Rent hereunder is subject to adjustment based upon the aggregate
cost of the Tenant Improvements, including out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable
soft costs, as follows: in the event that the actual aggregate costs of the
Tenant Improvements are an amount less than $43.00 per rentable square foot (the
“Cost Savings”), the Minimum Annual Rent hereunder shall be decreased each year
by an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the difference between (i) $43.00
per rentable square foot multiplied by 101,269 rentable square feet, and (ii)
the actual aggregate cost of the Tenant Improvements. In lieu of the
foregoing, Tenant shall have the right upon notice to Landlord to apply the Cost
Savings towards additional improvements to the Premises. In addition, Tenant may
request an additional tenant improvement allowance equal to Four and 00/100
Dollars per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Additional Allowance”),
which amounts (i) would be amortized at a rate per annum equal to ten percent
(10%) and the resulting monthly amount so amortized will be added to the Monthly
Minimum Rent, and (ii) may be applied towards the Tenant Improvements or
additional tenant improvements, but not furniture, fixtures and
equipment. Landlord shall obtain or cause Contractor to
obtain all applicable licenses, permits and approvals to complete the Tenant
Improvements in accordance with all applicable Laws. Landlord
covenants to require Contractor to construct and complete the Tenant
Improvements in accordance with the Final Drawings (as defined below), in a good
and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Laws.
(b) Space Plan. Landlord and
Tenant have agreed upon a space plan and scope of work for the Tenant
Improvements as set forth on Exhibit
"D" attached hereto (the “Space Plan and Scope of Work for Tenant
Improvements”).
(c) Construction Drawings and
Specifications. On or before September 1, 2008, Tenant will
provide Landlord with construction drawings and specifications for the Tenant
Improvements for Landlord's review and approval. Landlord will review
and approve or provide comments to the construction drawings and specifications,
which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, the
construction drawings and specifications in writing to Tenant within fifteen
(15) business days after receiving the construction drawings and specifications
from Tenant. If Landlord reasonably disapproves the construction
drawings, Landlord shall specifically describe any reasons for such disapproval
in a written notice to Tenant. If Tenant disagrees to the objections
Landlord has to the construction drawings and specifications, Landlord and
Tenant shall use diligent and good faith efforts to resolve any such dispute in
a prompt manner. Thereafter, Tenant will provide appropriately
revised construction drawings and specifications to Landlord reflecting any such
changes that were agreed upon on or before the date that is five (5) business
days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord’s disapproval of the construction
drawings and specifications if there is no disagreement or five (5) business
days after resolution of the dispute if there is disagreement. All
revisions to the construction drawings and specifications will be clouded,
blacklined, or otherwise clearly marked to highlight such revisions for easy
identification as a revised item. The agreed upon construction
drawings and specifications are hereinafter referred to herein as the "Final
Drawings".
(d) Contractor Bids;
Budget. Promptly following agreement between Landlord and
Tenant of the construction drawings, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit the
names of two (2) general contractors for construction trade bidding and bid
analysis. Landlord shall submit the construction drawings to each of
the general contractors selected by Landlord and Tenant. Each general
contractor shall have five (5) days from the submission date (the "Bid
Expiration Date") on which to bid the costs and expenses and timing related to
the Tenant Improvements. Not later than five (5) days after the Bid
Expiration Date, Landlord and Tenant shall select the Contractor, but will give
primary consideration to (i) the price of the Tenant Improvements, (ii) the
timing for completion of the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) the general
reputation of the party bidding on the Tenant Improvements. After
Landlord and Tenant select the Contractor, the Contractor will promptly submit
the construction drawings and specifications for permits. Any delay
in the permitting process not caused by Landlord shall be a Force Majeure
Delay.
(e) Changes to Construction Drawings and
Specifications. Tenant will immediately notify Landlord if
Tenant desires to make any changes to the Tenant Improvements after the
construction drawings and specifications have been agreed upon. If
Landlord approves the revisions, Landlord or Contractor will notify Tenant of
the anticipated additional cost and delay in completing the Tenant Improvements
that would be caused by such revisions. If Landlord reasonably
disapproves the revisions, Landlord will notify Tenant of the reasons for
disapproval and will cooperate with Tenant to resolve the
disagreements. Tenant will approve or disapprove the increased cost
and delay within 5 business days after such notice. If Tenant
approves, Landlord will prepare, and Landlord and Tenant will execute, a change
order describing the revisions and the anticipated additional cost and
delay. If Tenant disapproves, the changes will not be made unless
Landlord and Tenant can agree upon a resolution within 5 business days
thereafter. Any delay relating to a request for revisions or a change
order is a Tenant Delay. If Landlord reasonably estimates that the
change order will cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to exceed the Tenant
Improvement Allowance (and to the extent applicable, the Additional Allowance),
or if the cost of the Tenant Improvements already exceeds the Tenant Improvement
Allowance (and to the extent applicable, the Additional Allowance), Landlord may
require Tenant to deposit such estimated additional cost with Landlord before
the change order work is performed.
(f) Landlord’s Approval
Rights. Landlord may withhold its approval of any changes to
the space plan, construction drawings and specifications, change orders, or
other work requested by Tenant which Landlord reasonably determines may require
work which: (a) exceeds or adversely affects the structural integrity of the
Building; (b) will increase the cost of operation or maintenance of any of the
systems of the Property (unless Tenant agrees in writing to pay for such
increased costs); (c) does not conform to applicable building codes, policies or
procedures or is not approved by any governmental authority with jurisdiction
over the Premises; (d) may detrimentally affect the uniform appearance of the
Property; (e) is not a building standard item or an item of equal or higher
quality; or (f) is reasonably disapproved by Landlord for any other
reason.
(g) Tenant’s
Representative. Tenant designates Xxxxx Xxxxxx as the
representative of Tenant having authority to approve the construction drawings
and specifications, request or approve any change order, give and receive all
notices, consents, approvals and directions regarding the Tenant Improvements,
and to otherwise act for and bind Tenant in all matters relating to the Tenant
Improvements. Xxxxx Xxxxxx’x email address is xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx
and telephone number is 000-000-0000.
(h) Substantial
Completion. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts
to achieve Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements on or before March
1, 2009, subject to Tenant Delays, delays in agreement on the construction
drawings and specifications, third party and government approvals, disputes
between Landlord and Tenant and Force Majeure Delays. If Landlord is
unable to achieve Substantial Completion on or before March 1, 2009, as extended
for Tenant Delays, delays in agreement on the construction drawings and
specifications, third party and government approvals and disputes between
Landlord and Tenant and Force Majeure Delay, Tenant shall receive a credit to
Minimum Annual Rent equal to one (1) day of Minimum Annual Rent for each day
thereafter for which Landlord is unable to achieve Substantial Completion, which
credits shall be applied to the first payment of Minimum Annual
Rent.
If
Landlord is unable to achieve Substantial Completion on or before May 31, 2009,
as extended for Tenant Delays (but not Force Majeure Delay), Tenant may
immediately terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord no later than
June 7, 2009 as its sole and exclusive remedy. Landlord shall not
liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage; provided, however, that
Landlord (a) will appropriately adjust the Commencement Date and (b) agrees that
the Minimum Annual Rent credit referenced in the immediately preceding paragraph
shall remain in the event Tenant does not elect to
terminate. Alternatively, if Landlord reasonably believes that it
will be unable to achieve Substantial Completion on or before May 31, 2009, as
extended for Tenant Delays, delays in agreement on the construction drawings and
specifications, third party and government approvals and disputes between
Landlord and Tenant, Landlord may provide written notice of the same to Tenant,
upon which Tenant may within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice,
terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord as its sole and exclusive
remedy and Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant all prepaid rent previously
paid to Landlord. In the event Tenant has not terminated within such
time periods set forth above, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect. Landlord shall not liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or
damage; provided, however, that Landlord will appropriately adjust the
Commencement Date.
Landlord shall deliver the Premises to
Tenant clean and free of debris.
(i) Punch
List. Landlord shall give Tenant estimates of the schedule for
completion of the Tenant Improvements and endeavor to provide thirty (30) days
prior written notice of the anticipated date the Premises will be ready for
occupancy. Not later than thirty (30) days after the date of
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant’s
Representative will inspect the Premises and develop a “punch list” of any
Tenant Improvement items which were either not properly completed or are in need
of repair. Landlord will complete (or repair, as the case may be) the
items listed on the punch list with commercially reasonable diligence and speed,
but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the punch list is
developed. If Tenant does not inspect the Premises with Landlord as
reasonably requested by Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of
Substantial Completion, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Premises as
delivered.
(j) Tenant Finish
Work. All finish work and decoration and other work desired by
Tenant and not included within the Tenant Improvements to be performed by
Landlord as set forth in the approved construction drawings and specifications
will be designed, furnished and installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense and
will not be chargeable against the Tenant Improvement
Allowance. Tenant will perform all such work in the same manner and
following the same procedures as are provided in this Lease for alterations to
the Premises. Landlord is under no obligation to perform, inspect, or
supervise any such work, and Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility
whatsoever therefor. Landlord hereby approves the Tenant work set
forth on Exhibit
“G” attached hereto (the “Tenant Work”).
(k) Landlord's
Warranty. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a one (1)
year warranty regarding the Tenant Improvements in the same form attached hereto
as Exhibit "I" and which
shall be contained in the contractor agreement for the construction
of the Tenant Improvements.
29. Major
Work. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonably efforts
during the months of November and December to (a) avoid planning and performing
significant maintenance on the improvements on the Premises, or (b) causing an
interruption to the Building Systems, in either case which would materially
limit access to the Premises or Common Areas.
30. Emergency
Generator. Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant shall have the right to (i) install emergency
generator(s) in the “truck court” area of the Premises, subject to Tenant’s
compliance with all applicable Laws and Building Rules, (ii) test the
generator(s) on a monthly basis, and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained the Lease, to remove such generator(s) at the expiration of
the Lease.
31. Option to
Purchase.
(a) Tenant
shall have the option to purchase the Premises not later than the expiration of
the first (1st) year of the Term by giving written notice to Landlord
not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such year
(the “Purchase Notice”); it being agreed that time is of the
essence. Upon exercise by Tenant of its option to purchase, this
Lease and the Purchase Notice shall constitute an agreement of sale and purchase
between the parties whereby Landlord shall agree to sell and Tenant shall agree
to purchase the Premises upon the following terms and conditions:
(i) The
purchase price for the Premises shall be Twenty Six Million Three Hundred
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($26,300,000.00), plus any of the Additional
Allowance utilized by Tenant.
(ii) Settlement
for the purchase of the Premises shall be held at Landlord’s office at 0000 X.
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 at 10:00 a.m. on a date which

is not a business day, on the first business day thereafter.
(iii) The
purchase price shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord at the time of settlement
by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds.
(iv) Landlord
and Tenant shall share equally in the payment for any documentary stamps to be
affixed to the deed of conveyance and any realty transfer taxes imposed upon or
in connection with the conveyance. All amounts prepaid by Landlord
for operating expenses and any other charges which are applicable to the period
of time after settlement and which have not been paid previously by Tenant shall
be paid by Tenant to Landlord at the time of settlement. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord all Rent that accrues pursuant to this Lease prior to the date of
settlement.
(v) Landlord
shall convey to Tenant a good and marketable fee simple title to the Premises by
Special Warranty Deed which shall be in sufficient form to be recorded, in which
Landlord shall covenant and agree that the grantor has not done, committed, or
knowingly or willingly suffered to be done or committed, any act, matter or
thing whatsoever whereby the Premises granted, or any part thereof, is charged
or encumbered. Tenant shall accept title to the Premises subject to
existing leases; any and all taxes; all restrictions, encumbrances and
exceptions of record existing on the date of this Lease; all liens,
restrictions, encumbrances and exceptions hereafter created by Landlord with the
written consent of Tenant; any mortgage as described in subsection (vi) below;
all utility easements and public road rights-of-way hereafter created by
Landlord which are reasonably desirable for the development and/or maintenance
of the Premises, lands adjacent to the Premises, or both; any violations of
building codes, fire laws and other laws and regulations; any liens,
encumbrances and exceptions not created by or resulting from the act, omission
or default of Landlord; all zoning rules, regulations, restrictions or
ordinances; all standard title objections of the title insurance company
insuring Tenant's title; and any liens, encumbrances and exceptions created or
suffered by Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord cannot convey title as
aforesaid at the time of settlement, Landlord shall have the right, at its
option, to postpone the date of settlement for sixty (60) days during which time
Landlord shall attempt to cure or satisfy the title defects. Landlord
shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise incur any
expense to cure or satisfy the title defects. If Landlord is unable
to deliver title as required above, Tenant either shall accept such title as
Landlord can deliver, without abatement of the purchase price, or rescind its
exercise of its purchase option and this Lease shall continue in effect, except
that Tenant thereafter shall have no option to purchase and this Section shall
be deemed to be null and void and of no further force or
effect. Tenant's title shall be insurable as aforesaid at ordinary
rates by any reputable title insurance company.
(vi) Landlord
shall have the right to require the purchase of the Premises by Tenant pursuant
to this Section to be structured as a tax deferred exchange under Section 1031
of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations adopted thereunder, or such
substantially equivalent provision of the Internal Revenue Code as is then
applicable to sales of Premises; in which event Tenant shall execute such
documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by Landlord to
facilitate a tax deferred exchange under applicable law.
(b) The
option to purchase set forth in this Section shall terminate automatically if at
any time during the Term, including without limitation at any time after Tenant
delivers the Purchase Notice, Tenant defaults under any of the provisions of
this Lease and Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such default; in which
event this Section shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force
or effect. In addition, the option to purchase shall terminate
automatically if Tenant transfers this Lease (as described in Section 21) or if
the Premises is wholly or partially destroyed by casualty or taken by a
condemnation or otherwise for any public or quasi-public use.
32. Right

phase of the Cotton Center (individually, the “Additional Space”) first becomes
available for rental during the term of this Lease and provided that (a)
Landlord has not given Tenant notice of a monetary default and/or a material
non-monetary Event of Default more than seven (7) times preceding the Expiration
Date, (b) Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice
and cure period(s) nor is there any event that with the giving of notice and/or
the passage of time would constitute a default, and (c) Tenant (or a
transferee permitted under Section 21(b)) is the occupant of at least seventy
five percent (75%) of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right of first offer
to lease all of the Additional Space, subject to the following:
(a) Landlord
shall notify Tenant when the Additional Space first becomes available for rental
by any party and Tenant shall have ten (10) business days following receipt of
such notice within which to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant is interested
in negotiating terms for leasing such Additional Space and to have its offer
considered by Landlord prior to the leasing by Landlord of the Additional Space
to a third party. If Tenant notifies Landlord within such time period
that Tenant is so interested, then Landlord and Tenant shall have 30 days
following Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant within which to
negotiate mutually satisfactory terms for the leasing of the Additional Space by
Tenant and to execute an amendment to this Lease incorporating such terms or a
new lease for the Additional Space.
(b) If
Tenant does not notify Landlord within such 10 business days of its interest in
leasing the Additional Space or if Tenant does not execute such amendment or
lease within such 30 days, if applicable, then this right of first offer to
lease the Additional Space will lapse and be of no further force or effect and
Landlord shall have the right to lease all or part of the Additional Space to
any other party at any time on any terms and conditions acceptable to
Landlord.
(c) This
right of first offer to lease the Additional Space is a one-time right if and
when each Additional Space first becomes available, is personal to Tenant and
any transferee permitted under Section 21(b) of the Lease and is
non-transferable to any assignee or sublessee (other than any transferee
permitted under Section 21(b) of the Lease) or other party.
33. Brokers;

consultations with relating to the Premises or this transaction and that no
other broker or finder called the Premises to Tenant’s attention for lease or
took any part in any dealings, negotiations or consultations relating to the
Premises or this Lease. Such named brokers are entitled to a
commission on an “if, as and when” rent is collected basis in accordance with a
separate agreement.
(b) Tenant
agrees to be responsible for, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from
and against all costs, fees (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees),
expenses, liabilities and claims incurred or suffered by Landlord arising from
any breach by Tenant of Tenant’s foregoing representation and
warranty. Landlord agrees to be responsible for, indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Tenant from and against all costs, fees (including, without
limitation, attorney’s fees), expenses, liabilities and claims incurred or
suffered by Tenant arising from any breach by Landlord of Landlord’s foregoing
representation and warranty.
34. Guaranty. Intentionally

35. Notices. Any
notice, consent or other communication under this Lease shall be in writing and
addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their respective addresses specified in
Section 1 above (or to such other address as either may designate by notice
to the other) with a copy to any Mortgagee or other party designated by
Landlord. Each notice or other communication shall be deemed given if
sent by prepaid overnight delivery service or by certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid or in any other manner, with delivery in any case
evidenced by a receipt, and shall be deemed to have been given on the day of
actual delivery to the intended recipient or on the business day delivery is
refused. The giving of notice by Landlord’s attorneys,
representatives and agents under this Section shall be deemed to be the acts of
Landlord.
36. Miscellaneous.
(a) The
captions in this Lease are for convenience only, are not a part of this Lease
and do not in any way define, limit, describe or amplify the terms of this
Lease.
(b) This
Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto and there are
no collateral or oral agreements or understandings between Landlord and Tenant
with respect to the Premises or the Property. No rights, easements or
licenses are acquired in the Property or any land adjacent to the Property by
Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in this
Lease. This Lease shall not be modified in any manner except by an
instrument in writing executed by the parties. The masculine (or
neuter) pronoun and the singular number shall include the masculine, feminine
and neuter genders and the singular and plural number. The word

natural person, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company, an
association and any other form of business association or
entity. Both parties having participated fully and equally in the
negotiation and preparation of this Lease, this Lease shall not be more strictly

or Tenant.
(c) Each
covenant, agreement, obligation, term, condition or other provision contained in
this Lease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant
of the party bound by, undertaking or making the same, not dependent on any
other provision of this Lease unless otherwise expressly
provided. All of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease
shall apply throughout the Term unless otherwise expressly set forth
herein.
(d) If any
provisions of this Lease shall be declared unenforceable in any respect, such
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, and each
such provision shall be deemed to be modified, if possible, in such a manner as

the parties as set forth herein. This Lease shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is
located.
(e) This
Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and
their respective heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors and
assigns. All persons liable for the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease shall be jointly and severally liable for such obligations.
(f) Tenant
shall not record this Lease or any memorandum without Landlord’s prior
consent.
(g) This
Lease may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the delivery of an executed
copy of this Lease by facsimile or by email of a *.pdf file shall be legal and
binding and shall have the same full force and effect as if an original executed
copy of this Lease had been delivered.
(h) See
Exhibit
“F” attached hereto and made a part hereof for additional terms and
conditions of this Lease.
Landlord
and Tenant have executed this Lease on the respective date(s) set forth

that Landlord does not enforce any of them against any other tenants or if
Landlord does not have the right to enforce them against any other tenants and

CONTRACTOR
AGREEMENT (WARRANTY PAGE)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO
LEASE
This First Amendment to Lease Agreement
(“First Amendment”) is made as of October 29, 2008 (“Date of this Amendment”),
by and between LIBERTY COTTON
CENTER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and SHUTTERFLY, INC., a
corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (“Tenant”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, by Lease Agreement dated
August 22, 2008 between Landlord and Tenant (the “Original Lease”), Landlord
leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord the premises consisting of
101,269 square feet of space (“Premises”) in that certain building located at
0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx; and
WHEREAS, it is now the desire of
Landlord and Tenant to amend the Lease as set forth herein (the Original Lease,
as amended by this First Amendment, shall be referred to as the
“Lease”).
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree, effective as of the Date of this Amendment, the
Original Lease is amended as follows:
1. Incorporation of
Recitals. The recitals set forth above are made a part of this
First Amendment, are incorporated by reference herein and are acknowledged as
true and accurate.
2. The
following is added as a new Section 28(l) to the end of Article 28 (Tenant
Improvements; Tenant Allowance) of the Lease:
“(l) Additional
Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Sections 28(a) through (k) above:
Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree that (i) Landlord has provided Tenant with an estimated
budget set forth in a letter from Xxxxxxx X. Weiblan of Landlord dated October
28, 2008 to Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxx (the "Budget") reflecting aggregate estimated costs
for the Tenant Improvements and related costs and fees in an amount equal to
$5,608,311.00 (the “TI Amount”), and (ii) the general contractor shall be
Renaissance (the “General Contractor”). Landlord agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a maximum guaranteed price
construction contract acceptable to Landlord with the General Contractor
(modified as appropriate) to construct the Tenant
Improvements. Landlord and Tenant further agree that in the event
there are additional unforeseen costs over and above the sum of (i) TI Amount
and (ii) the aggregate of approved additional costs for Change Orders, if any,
requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 28(e)
(“Cost Overruns”), Tenant shall be responsible up to a maximum of $4,000,000 of
such Cost Overruns. Landlord shall pay the TI Amount (less the Tenant
Improvement Allowance per Section 28), approved Tenant Change Orders and any
Cost Overruns directly to the General Contractor, and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for such amounts within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an invoice
or written demand from Landlord.
Landlord
and Tenant agree and acknowledge that none of the foregoing shall affect or
limit Tenant’s rights under Section 28(a) to request the Additional
Allowance.”
3. The
following sentence in lines 16-18 of Section 28(a) is hereby deleted in its
entirety:
“In lieu
of the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right upon notice to Landlord to apply
the Cost Savings towards additional improvements to the Premises.”
Landlord and Tenant hereby confirm that
in the event there is any Cost Savings with respect to the Tenant Improvements,
such Cost Savings shall be applied to decrease the Minimum Annual Rent in
accordance with the fifth sentence of Section 28(a) of the Original
Lease.
4. Counterparts. This
First Amendment may be executed in counterparts, which when taken together,
shall constitute the entire agreement. Landlord and Tenant agree that
the delivery of an executed copy of this First Amendment by facsimile or by
email of a *.pdf file with an original to follow shall be legal and binding and
shall have the same force and effect as if an original executed copy of this
First Amendment had been delivered.
5. Reaffirmation. To
the extent that terms are (a) defined in this First Amendment but are not
defined in the Lease, such terms shall have the meanings given hereto in this
First Amendment; and (b) used, but not defined in this First Amendment, such
terms shall have the meanings given thereto in the Lease. Except as specifically
amended and modified herein, all of the terms, covenants or conditions of the
Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant
have caused this First Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first
above written.
