1.1. Premises. In consideration of the mutual covenants this Lease describes, Landlord leases
the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, subject to the terms,
covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. The rentable area of the Premises is the
rentable area specified in the Basic Terms. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use the
entire Property during the Term and Landlord shall not (other than in connection with Landlord’s
maintenance obligations under this Lease) make any changes, improvements or additions on or to the
Property, except for normal maintenance and building repairs, without Tenant’s consent, which may
be withheld in Tenant’s sole discretion.
1.2.1. Commencement and Expiration of Term. The Term of this Lease is the period stated in
the Basic Terms. The Term commences on the Commencement Date and expires on the last day of the
last calendar month of the Term.
1.2.2. Tender of Possession. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to tender
possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before July 9, 2007, subject to Force Majeure and Tenant
Delay. If Landlord is unable to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before November
1, 2007 for any reason, including Force Majuere, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease at any time thereafter by giving written notice to Landlord prior to delivery of the
Premises.
1.2.3. Early Access. Landlord hereby allows Tenant access to the Premises upon lease signing
and prior to the Commencement Date. During this early access period, Tenant may complete the
Tenant Improvements and install its furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Premises, and Tenant
shall comply with and observe all terms and conditions of this Lease (other than Tenant’s
obligation to pay Rent). Tenant shall not have exclusive access to, or control of, the Premises
during the early access period. Landlord reserves to itself and its agents the right to access and
control the Premises during the early access period, so long as such access does not materially or
adversely interfere with Tenant’s installation of the Tenant Improvements.
1.2.4. Termination Option. Tenant has a one time right to terminate this Lease (the “Early
Termination Option”) with such termination being effective at any point in time after the last day
of the sixty
2
second (62th) month of the Term (the “Early Termination Date”), by giving Landlord at
least nine months prior written notice (“Tenant’s Early Termination Notice”), provided that: (1)
on or before the Early Termination Date, Tenant has paid Landlord all amounts due and owing under
the Lease; and (2) Tenant pays to Landlord within ten days after the delivery of Tenant’s Early
Termination Notice, a termination fee equal to the unamortized portion of the Landlord’s leasing
costs, equal to be $30.00 per square foot for tenant improvements and $7.50 per square foot for
leasing commission charges (i.e. broker fees and costs), based on amortizing such costs with
interest thereon at the rate of 8% per annum, and a termination penalty equal to two months’ gross
rent. Tenant’s right to exercise this Early Termination Option is conditioned on: (a) there being
no uncured Event of Default at the time of exercise of the Early Termination Option or on the Early
Termination Date; and (b) Tenant not having subleased or assigned its interest under the Lease
(other than to an Affiliate), as of the date of exercise of the Early Termination Option or on the
Early Termination Date. If this Early Termination Option is timely exercised, Tenant will deliver
possession of the Premises to Landlord on the Early Termination Date in accordance with the terms
of this Lease and all other terms will apply as if this Lease had expired according to its terms,
including Tenant’s Share of Expenses attributable to periods prior to the Early Termination Date at
such time as such obligation is determined. If Tenant fails to timely give notice, Tenant will be
deemed to have waived its right to terminate pursuant to this Section. This Early Termination
Right is personal to Tenant (and not to any assignee or subtenant, other than an Affiliate) and may
not be assigned, it being agreed such right is not appurtenant to the Premises or this Lease; upon
a Transfer of the Lease by Tenant (other than to an Affiliate), this Section is null and void.
1.3. Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord covenants that if Tenant
timely, within all applicable cure periods, (a) pays all Rent and other charges provided for
herein, (b) performs all of its obligations provided for herein, and (c) observes all of the other
provisions hereof, then Tenant shall at all times during the Term peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Premises, without interruption or disturbance by Landlord, or anyone claiming through
or under Landlord.
2.1. Basic Rent. Tenant will pay Basic Rent in monthly installments to Landlord, in advance,
without offset or deduction, except as expressly provided in this Lease, commencing on the
Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each and every calendar month after the
Commencement Date during the Term. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments to Property Manager at
the address specified in the Basic Terms or at such other place or in such other manner as Landlord
may from time to time designate in writing. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments without
Landlord’s previous demand, invoice or notice for payment. Landlord and Tenant will prorate, on a
per diem basis, Basic Rent for any partial month within the Term.
2.2. Additional Rent. Article 3 of this Lease requires Tenant to pay certain Additional Rent
pursuant to estimates Landlord delivers to Tenant. Tenant will make all payments of estimated
Additional Rent in accordance with Article 3 without deduction or offset, except as expressly
provided in this Lease, and without Landlord’s previous demand, invoice or notice for payment.
Tenant will pay all other Additional Rent described in this Lease that is not estimated under
Article 3 within 30 days after receiving Landlord’s invoice for such Additional Rent. Tenant will
make all Additional Rent payments to the same location and, except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, in the same manner as Tenant’s payments of Basic Rent.
2.3. Delinquent Rental Payments. If Tenant does not pay any installment of Basic Rent or any
Additional Rent within 5 Business Days after the date the payment is due, Tenant will pay Landlord
an additional amount equal to the greater of (a) interest on the delinquent payment calculated at
the Maximum Rate from the date when the payment is due through the date the payment is made, or (b)
a late payment charge equal to 5% of the amount of the delinquent payment. Landlord’s right to
such compensation for any such delinquency is in addition to all of Landlord’s rights and remedies
under this Lease, at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be charged
any late payment or interest for the first late payment in any twelve month period during the Term,
unless Tenant fails to pay any outstanding amount due to Landlord within 5 Business Days following
notice from Landlord of the amount due.
3
2.4. Independent Obligations. Notwithstanding any contrary term or provision of this Lease,
Tenant’s covenant and obligation to pay Rent is independent from any of Landlord’s covenants,
obligations, warranties or representations in this Lease.
2.5. Abated Rent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, Tenant may occupy the Premises
and shall be entitled to the full abatement of Basic Rent and Additional Rent attributable to
Tenant’s Share of Expenses for a period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating two
months from such date (the “Abated Rent Period”; such amounts are referred to herein as “Abated
Rent”.
3.1. Payment of Expenses. Tenant will
pay, as Additional Rent and in the manner this Article 3 describes, Tenant’s Share of Expenses due and payable
during any calendar year of the Term. Landlord will prorate Tenant’s Share of Expenses due and payable during the
calendar year in which the Lease commences or terminates as of the Commencement Date or termination date, as applicable, on a per diem
basis based on the number of days of the Term within such calendar year.
3.2. Estimation of Tenant’s
Share of Expenses. Landlord will deliver to Tenant a written estimate of the following for each calendar year of the Term:
(a) Property Taxes, (b) Operating Expenses, (c) Tenant’s Share of Expenses Percentage and (d) the annual
and monthly Additional Rent attributable to Tenant’s Share of Expenses. Landlord estimates that the Additional Rent attributable
to Tenant’s Share of Expenses in 2007 will be approximately $9.60 per square foot.
3.3. Payment of Estimated
Tenant’s Share of Expenses. Tenant will pay the amount Landlord estimates as Tenant’s Share of Expenses
under Section 3.2 for each calendar year of the Term in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of
each month during such calendar year. If Landlord has not delivered the estimates to Tenant by the first day of January of
the applicable calendar year, Tenant will continue paying Tenant’s Share of Expenses based on Landlord’s estimates
for the previous calendar year.
When Tenant receives Landlord’s estimates for the current calendar year, Tenant will pay the estimated amount (less amounts
Tenant paid to Landlord in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) in equal monthly installments over the balance
of such calendar year, with the number of
installments being equal to the number of full calendar months remaining in such calendar year.
3.4. Re-Estimation of Expenses. Landlord
may re-estimate Expenses from time to time during the Term, but not more often than once per calendar year. In such event,
Landlord will re-estimate the monthly Additional Rent attributable to Tenant’s Share of Expenses to an amount sufficient
for Tenant to pay the re-estimated monthly amount over the balance of the calendar year. Landlord will notify Tenant of the
re-estimate and Tenant will pay the re-estimated amount in the manner provided in the last sentence of Section 3.3.
3.5. Confirmation of Tenant’s
Share of Expenses. Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year within the Term, Landlord will determine the actual amount of
Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Expenses for the expired calendar year and deliver to Tenant a written statement of such amounts.
If Tenant paid less than the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of Expenses specified in the statement, Tenant
will pay the difference to Landlord as Additional Rent in the manner Section 2.2 describes. If Tenant
paid more than the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of Expenses specified in the statement, Landlord, at
Landlord’s option, will either (a) refund the excess amount to Tenant within 30 days, or (b) credit the
excess amount against Tenant’s next due monthly installment or installments of estimated Additional Rent, provided that
during the last year of the Term, Landlord shall refund such excess as provided herein. If Landlord is delayed in
delivering such statement to Tenant, such delay does not constitute Landlord’s waiver of Landlord’s rights
under this section or release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Tenant acknowledges that, for purposes of
accounting for Expenses, Landlord may close a “calendar” year on December 20th of that year; if Landlord
actually does so, then Landlord’s determination of the actual amount of Expenses for the following calendar year will
include any Expenses attributable to the period of
December 21st through December 31st of the previous calendar year.
4
3.6. Tenant’s Inspection and Audit
Rights. If (i) Tenant is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond any
applicable cure period, and if (ii) Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of the actual amount of Expenses or
Tenant’s Share of Expenses for any calendar year, and if (iii) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of the dispute
within 60 days after Landlord’s delivery of the statement of such amount under Section 3.5, then Tenant at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, upon prior written notice and during regular business hours at a time and place reasonably
acceptable to Landlord (which may be the location where Landlord or Property Manager maintains the applicable records), may cause a
certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord to audit Landlord’s records relating to the disputed amounts.
Tenant’s objection to Landlord’s determination of Expenses or Tenant’s Share of Expenses shall be deemed withdrawn unless
Tenant completes and delivers the audit to Landlord within 90 days after the date Tenant delivers its dispute notice to Landlord
under this section. If the audit shows that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenant’s Share of Expenses was greater than
the amount this Article 3 obligates Tenant to pay, then, unless Landlord reasonably contests the audit by causing,
within 30 days thereafter, a certified public accountant to review the results of Tenant’s audit, Landlord will
refund the excess amount to Tenant within 10 days after Landlord receives a copy of the audit report. If the audit shows
that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenant’s Share of Expenses was less than the amount this Article 3 obligates
Tenant to pay, Tenant will pay to Landlord within 10 days, as Additional Rent, the difference between the amount Tenant
paid and the amount determined in the audit. Pending resolution of any audit under this section, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord
the estimated amounts of Tenant’s Share of Expenses in accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4. Tenant must keep all information
it obtains in any audit strictly confidential and may only use such information for the limited purpose this section describes and for
Tenant’s own account. If the results of any audit by Tenant indicate that there was an overpayment of
Expenses by Tenant that exceed 10% of the amount claimed to be due from Tenant in Landlord’s statement, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for its reasonable costs incurred on account of the audit.
3.8. Landlord’s Right to
Contest Property Taxes. Landlord may in its reasonable discretion contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of
any Property Taxes. Landlord may include in its computation of Property Taxes the reasonable costs and expenses
Landlord incurred in connection with any such contest (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees),
provided that such contest results
in a reduction of Property Taxes and Tenant receives the benefit of such reduction.
Tenant may not contest Property Taxes, provided that Landlord agrees to contest Property Taxes
upon Tenant’s request. In the event that Tenant requests Landlord to contest Property Taxes and there is no reduction of
these amounts, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for said parties expenses in such contest. Further, any cost savings to Tenant
shall be net of Landlords expenses in contesting the Property Taxes.
4.1. Permitted Use. Tenant may use the
Premises only for general office purposes, including without limitation, displaying Tenant’s products, and not for any other
purpose. Tenant will not use the Property or knowingly permit the Property to be used in violation of any Laws or in any manner
that would (a) cause injury or damage to the Property; (b) cause substantial diminution in the value or usefulness of
all or any part of the Property (reasonable wear and tear excepted); or (c) constitute waste or a public or private
nuisance. Tenant will obtain and maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all permits and approvals required under the
Laws for Tenant’s use of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant
may park, display and/or store a Class 8 vehicle in or adjacent to the truck bay in the Building.
4.2. Acceptance of Premises. Except
only as specifically set forth in this Lease (including the last sentence of this Section 4.2),
Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent, contractor or employee of Landlord have made any representation or
warranty of any kind with respect to the
Premises, specifically including but not limited to any representation or warranty of suitability or fitness of
the Premises for any particular purpose. Except only as specifically set forth in this Lease (including the
last sentence of this Section 4.2), Tenant accepts the Premises in an “AS IS — WHERE IS” condition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
5
represents that to Landlord’s actual knowledge the roof of the
Building is free of leaks and the existing mechanical systems serving the Premises (HVAC, electrical, lighting, water, plumbing,
sewer, sprinkler, fire alarm system) are in good working order. In addition, within thirty (30) days after the mutual execution
of this Lease, Landlord shall, at its sole cost, replace all dead grass on the Property, install trees and shrubs and adequately
landscape the Property in a manner similar to the landscaping of other office buildings in the area. The foregoing costs
incurred by Landlord shall not be passed through as Operating Expenses under this Lease. In addition, Landlord agrees to
reseal and re-stripe the parking areas on the Property prior to the Commencement Date, the cost of which shall be Operating
Expenses under this Lease.
4.3. Laws. To the best of
Landlords knowledge, the Building complies with all applicable laws and regulations. This Lease is subject and subordinate to
all Laws. Landlord agrees to deliver the Premises to Tenant in compliance with all Laws. Landlord represents that it has not
received any legal notices providing that the Building is not in compliance with applicable laws. The Building shall be delivered in its
current state and is subject to the Tenant Improvement described herein.
4.4.1. Signs

Monument Sign. Tenant shall have the exclusive use during the Term to the Building’s existing sign monument (the “Building

approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be subject to the Laws.
4.4.3. Building
Exterior Sign. Tenant shall have the right to install signage on the exterior of the Building (the “Exterior Building
Sign”); provided, however, that (i) the design, materials, size, color and location of the Exterior Building Sign are
subject to prior written approval by Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the Exterior Building Sign is
installed and maintained at all times by Tenant in compliance with the Laws. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs and
expenses associated with the Exterior Building Sign, including without limitation all design, construction, permitting, installation,
and maintenance costs. On or before the end of the Term, Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense remove the Exterior Building Sign and
repair the Building affected thereby to the condition the Building was in at the time the Exterior Building Sign was installed.
5.1. Compliance with Hazardous
Materials Laws. Tenant will not cause any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept or used on the Property, in a
manner or for a purpose prohibited by or that could result in liability under any Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant, at its sole
cost and expense, will comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws and prudent industry practice relating to the presence, treatment,
storage, transportation, disposal, release or management of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property required
for Tenant’s use of the Premises and will notify Landlord of any and all Hazardous Materials Tenant brings upon, keeps or uses on
the Property (other than small quantities of office cleaning or other office supplies as are customarily used by a tenant in the ordinary
course in a general office facility, which Tenant may use so long as Tenant complies with Hazardous Materials Laws). On or before
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will completely remove from the Property,
in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws, all Hazardous Materials Tenant causes to be present in, on, under or about the Property.
Tenant will not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials in on, under or about the Property, nor
enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to any Claims relating to or in
any way connected with Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property, without first notifying Landlord of Tenant’s
intention to do so and affording Landlord reasonable opportunity to investigate, appear, intervene and otherwise assert and protect
Landlord’s interest in the Property.
6
5.2. Notice of Actions. Tenant will
notify Landlord of any of the following actions affecting Landlord, Tenant, or the Property that result from or in any way relate to
Tenant’s use of the Property immediately after receiving notice of the same: (a) any enforcement, clean-up, removal or
other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened under any Hazardous Materials Law; (b) any
Claim made or threatened by any person relating to damage, contribution, liability, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury
resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Material; and (c) any reports made by any person, including Tenant, to
any environmental agency relating to any Hazardous Material, including any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations.
Tenant will also deliver to Landlord, as promptly as possible and in any event within 5 Business Days after Tenant first receives or
sends the same, copies of all Claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the
Premises or Tenant’s use of the Premises. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant will promptly deliver to Landlord
documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all Hazardous Materials removed or
to be removed by Tenant from the Premises. To the extent Tenant is responsible for removing any Hazardous Materials, all such
documentation will list Tenant or its agent as a responsible party and will not attribute responsibility for any such Hazardous
Materials to Landlord or Property Manager.
5.3. Disclosure and Warning
Obligations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all reporting and warning obligations required under Hazardous Materials Laws
resulting from or
in any way relating to Tenant’s use of the Premises or the Property are Tenant’s sole responsibility, regardless whether the

5.4. Landlord Indemnification. Landlord
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Tenant Parties from and against all damages, costs, losses, expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and engineering fees) arising from or attributable to the existence of (a) any
mold or any Hazardous Materials at the Property prior to the Commencement Date, except to the extent caused by Tenant and (b) any
mold or Hazardous Materials disposed, released or otherwise caused by Landlord, provided, however, in case any claim, action, suit or
proceeding shall be brought against Tenant and such matter is subject to Landlord’s indemnification as provided above, Tenant shall
promptly notify Landlord of the same in time to avoid any prejudice to Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to assume and control
the defense thereof with counsel of its own selection, and Landlord shall have the right to control any remediation. To
the best of Landlord’s knowledge, Landlord warrants, represents and covenants that as of the execution date of this Lease
the Premises do not presently contain any Hazardous Materials and are in substantial compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws. The obligations of Landlord under this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
5.5. Tenant Indemnification. Tenant will
release, indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from
and against any and all Claims whatsoever arising or resulting, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the presence,
treatment, storage, transportation, disposal, release or management of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, upon or from
the Property (including water tables and atmosphere) resulting from or in any way related to Tenant’s use of the Premises or
the Property. Tenant’s obligations under this section include, without limitation and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable:
(a) the costs of any required or necessary repair, clean-up, detoxification or decontamination of the Property; (b) the
costs of implementing any closure, remediation or other required action in connection therewith as stated above; (c) the value

will provide the following services, the costs of which are Operating Expenses:
6.1.1. Janitorial
Service. Landlord will provide janitorial service in the Premises, in accordance with
Landlord’s schedule for the Building, including: (a) cleaning and trash removal; (b) dusting and vacuuming;
(c) maintaining towels, tissue and other restroom supplies; (d) periodic interior and exterior window
7
washing and cleaning; (e) periodic waxing of uncarpeted floors; and (f) such other work as is customarily performed in connection with nightly janitorial services in buildings similar in construction, location, use and occupancy to the Building.
6.1.2. Electrical
Energy; Lighting. Landlord will provide electrical energy to the Premises for lighting and for operating office machines for
general office use. Said electrical energy will not be sufficient for lighting in excess of 4 xxxxx per square foot installed or
for any electrical equipment that singularly consumes more than 1.0 kilowatts per hour at rated capacity or requires a voltage
other than 120 volts single phase. Tenant will not use any equipment requiring electrical energy in excess of the above standards
without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold but may condition on Tenant paying
all costs of installing the equipment and facilities necessary to furnish such excess energy and the additional energy costs. Landlord
will replace all lighting bulbs, tubes, ballasts and starters within the Premises; with such lighting costs being included in
Operating Expenses.
6.1.3. Heating,

will provide hot and cold water from standard building outlets for restroom and drinking purposes.
6.1.5. Elevator
Service. Landlord will provide elevator service to be used by Tenant.
6.2. Tenant’s Obligations. Except
for expenses paid by Landlord and added to the Operating Expenses, Tenant is solely responsible for paying directly to the
applicable utility companies, prior to delinquency, all unique utilities (if any) applicable to the Premises or to Tenant. If
applicable, such amounts are not included in Operating Expenses. Except as specifically provided in Sections 6.1, Tenant will
also obtain and pay for all other utilities and services Tenant requires with respect to the Premises, including but not limited to
utility hook-up and connection charges.
6.3. Other Provisions Relating to
Services. Landlord is not required to provide any heat, air conditioning, electricity or other service in excess of that
required by governmental guidelines or other Laws. No interruption in or temporary stoppage of any of the utilities or other services
this Article 6 describes is to be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, nor does
any such interruption or stoppage relieve Tenant from any obligation this Lease describes, render Landlord liable for damages, or entitle
Tenant to any abatement of Rent; provided, however, that if any such interruption or temporary stoppage is primarily caused by a
negligent act or omission of Landlord and continues for more than 3 consecutive business days, then Rent hereunder shall xxxxx until such
interruption or temporary stoppage either ceases or is no longer primarily caused by a negligent act or omission of Landlord.
6.4. Tenant Devices and Equipment. Tenant
will not connect any device or equipment to the Building’s electrical or plumbing systems except through the electrical and
water outlets in the Premises that were installed (or otherwise approved in writing) by Landlord. No antenna, satellite dish, or
other communications equipment shall be allowed without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). In the event Landlord consents to Tenant’s installation of an antenna, satellite dish, or other
communications equipment on the Property (including without limitation on the roof of the Building), then Landlord and Tenant
shall execute a Communications Equipment License in form reasonably required by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that the installation
of any such communications equipment shall be deemed an “Alteration” subject to the terms and conditions of Article 8 of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right
to install GPS Antennas on the roof of the Building
(the “Supplemental Equipment”), without the execution of a Communications Equipment License.
The exterior placement of the Supplemental Equipment shall be in a location mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant.
The Supplemental Equipment shall be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the Laws.
Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with installing, maintaining, operating, repairing,
and insuring the Supplemental Equipment. If required by Landlord, Tenant shall immediately remove the
8
Supplemental Equipment upon expiration or earlier termination of the Lease,
and shall immediately repair all damage caused by such removal. Tenant acknowledges that the installation of the Supplemental Equipment
shall be deemed an “Alteration” subject to the terms and conditions of Article 8 of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to install a
security system to control access and movement within the Premises (the “Premises Security System”). The plans for
the Premises Security System shall be subject to prior written approval by Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If
required by Landlord, Tenant shall immediately remove the Premises Security System upon expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease, and shall immediately repair all damage caused by such removal. Tenant shall provide Landlord and lawful authorities with
emergency access to the Premises and access for purposes of performing janitorial services, repairs, and maintenance. Tenant
acknowledges that the installation of the Premises Security System shall be deemed an “Alteration” subject to the terms
and conditions of Article 8 of this Lease.

necessary replacements): (a) all structural elements of the Property, including without limitation, the foundation, exterior walls
and roof of the Building; (b) the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems; (c) all parking

systems serving the Premises or Property. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord’s repair and maintenance costs under
subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.1 are Operating Expenses.
7.2.1. Maintenance
of Premises. Landlord is not required to repair or maintain the Premises or the Property (or to make any Alterations to the
Premises or Property), except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. Except as specifically set forth in Section 7.1,
Tenant is solely responsible for the repair, maintenance, replacement, operation, condition and management of
the Premises. Except as specifically set forth in Section 7.1, Tenant at its sole cost and expense will keep and maintain
the Premises (including without limitation all non-structural interior portions; lighting systems; interior surfaces of exterior
walls; and interior moldings, partitions, glass, doors and ceilings) in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and
tear and damage from condemnation and insured casualties excepted. Tenant’s repairs will be at least equal in quality and workmanship
to the original work and Tenant will make the repairs in accordance with all Laws. Tenant will keep the Premises in a neat and sanitary
condition and will not commit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Premises or the Property. Tenant shall release, indemnify, protect
and defend Landlord against (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), and hold Landlord harmless from, any Claims or damages
resulting from any penetrations or perforations of the roof or exterior walls of the Building caused or allowed by
Tenants (excepting any work performed by Landlord or its agents or employees).
7.2.2. Alterations
Required by Laws. If any governmental authority requires any Alteration to the Building or the Premises solely as a result of
Tenant’s particular use of the Premises (as opposed to general office use) or as a result of any Alteration to the Premises made
by or on behalf of Tenant, or if Tenant’s particular use of the Premises subjects Landlord or the Property to any
obligation under any Laws, Tenant will pay the cost of all such Alterations or the cost of compliance, as the case may be.
If any such Alterations are Structural Alterations, Landlord will make the Structural Alterations; provided, however, that
Landlord may require Tenant to deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to pay the cost of the Structural Alterations (including,
without limitation, reasonable overhead and administrative costs). If the Alterations are not Structural Alterations, Tenant will
make the Alterations at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with Article 8.
8.1. Landlord Approval. Tenant
will not make any Structural Alterations to the Premises. Tenant
will not make any other Alterations without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not
9
unreasonably withhold; provided, however, that Landlord may condition
its consent in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make Alterations costing less than $10,000 per
year without Landlord’s consent, so long as the Alterations are not Structural Alterations. Along with any request for
Landlord’s consent, Tenant will deliver to Landlord complete plans and specifications for the Alterations, and will identify
any prospective contractors for the Alterations. If Landlord approves the proposed Alterations, Tenant, before commencing the Alterations
or delivering (or accepting delivery of) any materials to be used in connection with the Alterations, will deliver to Landlord for
Landlord’s reasonable approval proof of insurance required by Section 8.2, copies of all necessary permits and licenses,
and such other information relating to the Alterations as Landlord reasonably requests. Tenant will not commence the
Alterations before Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, approves the foregoing deliveries. Tenant will construct
all approved Alterations or cause all approved Alterations to be constructed (a) promptly by a licensed and properly bonded
contractor, (b) in a good and workmanlike manner, (c) in compliance with all Laws, (d) in accordance with all orders,
rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters having jurisdiction over the Premises and any other body exercising
similar functions, and (e) in full compliance with all of Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations applicable
to third party contractors, subcontractors and suppliers performing work at the Property.
8.2. Tenant’s Responsibility
for Cost and Insurance. Tenant will pay the cost and expense of all Alterations, and for any painting, restoring or repairing
of the Premises or the Property in connection with the Alterations. Prior to commencing the Alterations, Tenant will deliver the
following to Landlord in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord: (a) builder’s “all risk” insurance
in an amount at least equal to the replacement value of the Building (excluding the Land, foundation, grading costs and excavation costs);
and (b) evidence that Tenant and each of Tenant’s contractors have in force liability insurance insuring against construction
related risks, in at least the form, amounts and coverages required of Tenant under Article 10. The insurance policies described
in clauses (a) and (b) of this section will name Landlord and Property Manager (and, if
requested by Landlord, Landlord’s lender) as additional insureds.
8.3. Construction Obligations and
Ownership. Landlord may inspect construction of the Alterations. Immediately after completing the Alterations, Tenant will
furnish Landlord with contractor affidavits, full and final lien waivers and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended
and used in connection with the Alterations. Tenant will remove any Alterations Tenant constructs in violation of this Article 8
within 10 days after Landlord’s written request and in any event prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
All Alterations Tenant makes or installs (including all telephone, computer and other wiring and cabling located within the walls of and
outside the Premises, but excluding Tenant’s movable trade fixtures, furniture and equipment) become the property of Landlord upon
installation, unless Landlord, by giving written notice to Tenant at the time that Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to
such Alterations, requires Tenant to remove the Alterations (provided that in no event shall Tenant have any obligation to remove
the Tenant Improvements). Tenant will surrender the Alterations to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
at no cost to Landlord.
8.4. Liens. Tenant will keep the
Property free from any mechanics’, materialmens’, designers’ or other liens arising out of any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant. Tenant
will notify Landlord in writing at least 30 days prior to commencing any Alterations in order to provide Landlord the opportunity
to record and post notices of non-responsibility or such other protective notices available to Landlord under the Laws. If any such
liens are filed and Tenant, within 15 days after such filing, does not release the same of record or provide Landlord with a
bond or other surety satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord and the Property against such liens, Landlord may, without waiving
its rights and remedies based upon such breach by Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease,
cause such liens to be released by any means Landlord deems proper, including, but not limited to, paying the claim giving rise
to the lien or posting security to cause the discharge of the lien. In such event, Tenant will reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent,
for all amounts Landlord pays (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs).
8.5. Indemnification. To the
fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant will release, indemnify,
protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties
and the Property from and against any Claims in any manner relating to or arising out of any
Alterations or any other work
10
performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for
Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant.
9.1. Landlord’s Entry. Landlord
and its authorized representatives may at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant enter the Premises to: (a) inspect
the Premises; (b) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees and, during the last 9 months of the Term, tenants;
(c) post notices of non-responsibility or other protective notices available under the Laws; and (d) exercise and
perform Landlord’s rights and obligations under this Lease. Landlord, in the event of any emergency, may enter the Premises
without notice to Tenant. Landlord’s entry into the Premises is not to be construed as a forcible or unlawful entry into, or
detainer of, the Premises or as an eviction of Tenant from all or any part of the Premises. Tenant will also permit Landlord (or
its designees) to erect, install, use, maintain, replace and repair pipes, cables, conduits, plumbing and vents, and telephone,
electric and other wires or other items, in, to and through the Premises if Landlord reasonably determines that such activities
are necessary for properly operating and maintaining the Building, so long as the foregoing do not materially or adversely affect
Tenant’s operation of the Premises.
9.2. Control of Property. Landlord
reserves all rights respecting the Property and Premises not specifically granted to Tenant under this Lease, including,
without limitation, the right to: (a) change the name of the Building, subject to Tenant’s approval, not to be
unreasonably withheld, provided that Tenant may withhold consent if such change would affect Tenant’s building signage or
monument signage; (b) designate and reasonably approve all types of signs (other than those expressly permitted under this Lease),
window coverings, internal lighting and other aspects of the Premises and its contents that may be visible from the exterior of the
Premises retain and receive master keys or pass keys to the Premises and all doors in the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or
the provision of any security-related services by Landlord, Landlord is not responsible for the security of persons or property in
the Premises or otherwise on the Property, and Landlord is not and will not be liable in any way whatsoever for any breach of security
not solely and directly caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees.
9.3. Interference with Tenant’s
Business. With respect to any provision of this Lease which entitles or requires Landlord to make improvements, alterations or
repairs to the Premises, Landlord agrees that such work shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the
Premises. Landlord shall endeavor to perform any such work so as to minimize disruption to Tenant’s business where reasonably possible.
10.1. Tenant’s Insurance
Obligations. Tenant, at all times during the Term and during any early occupancy period, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
will maintain the insurance this Section 10.1 describes.
10.1.1. Liability
Insurance. Tenant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance (providing coverage at least as broad as the current ISO form)
with respect to the Premises and Tenant’s activities in the Premises and upon and about the Property, on an “occurrence”
basis, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence and $3,000,000 general aggregate. Such insurance must include the
following specific coverage provisions or endorsements: (a) broad form contractual liability insurance insuring Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease; (b) naming Landlord and Property Manager as additional insureds by an “Additional Insured —
Managers or Lessors of Premises” endorsement (or equivalent coverage or endorsement); (c) waiving the insurer’s subrogation
rights against all Landlord Parties; (d) providing Landlord with at least
10 Business Days prior notice of modification, cancellation, non-renewal or expiration; and (e) expressly stating that
Tenant’s insurance will be provided on a primary and non-contributory basis. If Tenant provides such liability insurance
under a blanket policy, the insurance must be made specifically applicable to the Premises and this Lease on a “per location” basis.
10.1.2. Other
Insurance. Tenant shall maintain “all risk” property insurance for Tenant’s personal property and
trade fixtures. Tenant shall also maintain such other insurance as may be required by any
11
Laws (including without limitation any necessary worker’s
compensation insurance), or as may reasonably be required by Landlord from time to time.
10.1.3. Miscellaneous
Insurance Provisions. All of Tenant’s insurance will be written by companies rated at least “Best A-VII” and
otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant will deliver certificates of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (a) on
or before the Commencement Date (and prior to any earlier occupancy by Tenant) and (b) not later than 10 Business Days prior
to the expiration of any current policy or certificate. If Landlord allows Tenant to provide evidence of liability insurance by
certificate, then Tenant will deliver an XXXXX Form 25 certificate and will attach or cause to be attached to the certificate
copies of any endorsements this Section 10.1 requires. Tenant’s insurance must permit releases of liability and provide
for waiver of subrogation as provided in Section 10.3. Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that Landlord’s establishment of minimum insurance requirements is not a representation by Landlord that
such limits are sufficient and does not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease in any manner.
10.1.4. Tenant’s
Failure to Insure. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Lease and any notice and cure rights this Lease provides Tenant, if
Tenant fails to provide Landlord with evidence of insurance as required under this Section 10.1 within five days after notice from
Landlord, then Landlord may assume that Tenant is not maintaining the insurance Section 10.1 requires
Tenant to maintain and Landlord may (but is not obligated to) without further demand upon Tenant or notice to Tenant and
without giving Tenant any cure right or waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation contained in this Lease, obtain such
insurance for Landlord’s benefit. In such event, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses
Landlord incurs obtaining such insurance. Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this section does not relieve Tenant from
any default under this Lease.
10.2. Landlord’s Insurance
Obligations. Landlord will (except for the optional coverages and endorsements this Section 10.2 may describe)
at all times during the Term maintain the insurance this Section 10.2 describes. All premiums and other costs and
expenses Landlord incurs in connection with maintaining such insurance are Operating Expenses.
10.2.1. Property
Insurance. Property insurance on the Building in an amount not less than the full insurable replacement cost of the Building insuring
against loss or damage by fire and such other risks as are covered by the current ISO Special Form policy. Landlord, at its option, may
obtain such additional coverages or endorsements as Landlord deems appropriate or necessary in its
sole discretion, including without limitation insurance covering foundation, grading, excavation and debris removal costs;
business income and rents insurance; earthquake insurance; terrorism insurance; and flood insurance. Landlord may maintain such insurance
in whole or in part under blanket policies. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s property insurance will not cover or be
applicable to any property of Tenant within the Premises or otherwise located at the Property.
10.2.2. Liability
Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage occurring
at the Property in such amounts as Landlord deems appropriate or necessary in its sole discretion. Such liability insurance
will protect only Landlord and, at Landlord’s option, Landlord’s lender and some or all of the Landlord
Parties, and does not replace or supplement the liability insurance this Lease obligates Tenant to carry.
10.2.3. Deductible. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord’s insurance may include deductible limits, that such deductible amounts reduce the insurance premiums
chargeable as Operating Expenses under the Lease, and that, notwithstanding the waiver set forth in Section 10.3, such deductible
amounts shall either (i) be considered Operating Expenses under the Lease, or, (ii) if Tenant (or any person acting at
the direction or under the control of Tenant) is the cause of any loss covered by Landlord’s property insurance policy,
be considered the sole responsibility of Tenant hereunder to the extent of Tenant’s fault, provided that in no event shall
the deductible portion payable by Tenant exceed $5,000.
10.3. Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Each
party hereby waives any and every right or cause of action for any
and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property (whether or not such loss or damage is caused
by the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom said other party may be responsible), which loss or
12
damage is actually covered or coverable by valid and collectible fire,
extended coverage, “All Risk” or similar policies maintained by such party or required to be maintained by such party
under this Lease, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2.3 above and to the extent that such loss or damage is recovered
under said insurance policies (or otherwise would have been recovered in the event either party fails to maintain the insurance
required to be maintained under this Lease).
10.4.1. The
Landlord Parties shall not have any liability to Tenant for any Claims based on or arising out of any cause whatsoever, including
without limitation the following: the repair or maintenance of any portion of the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements) or
the Property; interruption in the use of the Premises (except as provided in this Lease); any accident or damage resulting
from any use or operation by Landlord, Tenant or any other person or entity of the elevators or the heating, cooling, electrical,
or plumbing systems serving the Property; termination of this Lease by reason of damage to the Premises or the Building; fire, robbery,
theft, vandalism, or any other casualty; failure or inability to furnish any service specified in this Lease; and leakage in any part of
the Premises or the Building from water, rain, ice or snow that may leak into, or flow from, any part of the Premises or the Building,
or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Premises or the Building. Any property placed by Tenant in or about the Premises or the
Property shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall not in any manner be responsible therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall not be released from liability to Tenant for and to the extent of any injury caused by Landlord’s willful misconduct
or gross negligence, nor shall the foregoing release Landlord from its maintenance obligations under this Lease. In no event,
however, shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant on account of any claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant’s
business or for any indirect damages or consequential losses, provided that Rent shall xxxxx to the extent that Tenant is not able
to use the Premises.
10.4.2. In
addition to Tenant’s other indemnification obligations in this Lease (but subject to Landlord’s insurance obligations in
Section 10.2 above), Tenant to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws shall release, indemnify, protect, defend (with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all Claims
arising from: (a) any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of Tenant’s covenants or agreements
in this Lease; (b) any misconduct or negligent act or omission of Tenant; (c) any accident, injury, occurrence or
damage in, about or to the Premises (except to the extent caused by Landlord, or its agents or employees); and (d) to the
extent caused in whole or in part by Tenant, any accident, injury, occurrence or damage in, about or to the Property.
10.4.3. Landlord
hereby indemnifies and agrees to save Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims to the extent directly arising out
of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord in connection with (a) the possession, use, occupation, management,
repair, maintenance or control of the Property, and not resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or (b) any
default by Landlord.
10.4.4. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Property in the event of any claim against Landlord arising out of or in connection
with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s use of the Premises, and Tenant agrees that the liability of
Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s use of the
Premises, shall be limited to such estate and property of Landlord in and to the Property. No properties or assets of Landlord
other than the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Property and no property owned by any partner of Landlord shall be
subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) or
for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of
Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Premises.
11.1. Tenant’s Notice of Casualty. If
the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or any other casualty, Tenant shall give
immediate written notice thereof to Landlord.
13
11.2. Tenantable Within 180 Days. Except as provided in Section 11.4, if a casualty
renders the whole or any material part of the Premises untenantable and Landlord determines in its
sole but reasonable discretion that it can make the Premises tenantable within 180 days after the
date of the casualty, then Landlord will notify Tenant within 20 Business Days after the date of
the casualty that Landlord will repair and restore the Building and the Premises as required by
Section 11.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that such
restoration of the Premises is not substantially completed within 180 days from the date of the
casualty, and provided that such delay in substantial completion results from a cause other than
Tenant Delay, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering 30 days’ prior
written notice to Landlord. In the event the restoration of the Premises is substantially
completed within such 30 day period, such right of termination shall be deemed to be void and
without effect.
11.3. Not Tenantable Within 180 Days. If a casualty renders the whole or any material part of
the Premises untenantable and Landlord reasonably determines in its sole discretion that it cannot
make the Premises tenantable within 180 days after the date of the casualty, then Landlord will so
notify Tenant within 20 Business Days after the date of the casualty and may, in such notice,
terminate this Lease effective on the date of Landlord’s notice. If Landlord does not terminate
this Lease as provided in this section, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord
within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice, which termination will be effective 30
days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice.
11.4. Building Substantially Damaged. Notwithstanding Section 11.2, if the Building is
damaged or destroyed by casualty (regardless whether the Premises is affected) and either (a) fewer
than 9 months remain in the Term (excluding any unexercised Extension Terms), or (b) the damage
reduces the value of the improvements on the Property by more than 50% (as determined by Landlord
in its sole but reasonable discretion), then, regardless of whether Landlord determines in its
reasonable discretion that it can make the Building tenantable within 180 days after the date of
the casualty, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant within 20 Business Days after the
casualty, may terminate this Lease effective on the date of Landlord’s notice.
11.5. Insufficient Proceeds. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Article 11, if
this Article 11 obligates Landlord to repair damage to the Premises or Building caused by casualty,
and if Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds (excluding any deficiency caused by
the amount of any policy deductible) to repair all of the damage, or if the lender under any
Mortgage does not release to Landlord sufficient insurance proceeds to repair all of the damage,
then Landlord, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant within 45 days after the casualty, may
terminate this Lease effective on the date of Landlord’s notice.
11.6. Landlord’s Repair Obligations. If this Lease is not terminated under Sections 11.3
through 11.5 following a casualty, then Landlord shall repair and restore the Building and any
other improvements located on the Property to as near their condition prior to the casualty as is
reasonably possible with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed (subject to delays caused
by Tenant Delay or Force Majeure). In such case, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect,
but Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Expenses for the period during which the Premises are
untenantable shall xxxxx pro rata (based upon the rentable area of the untenantable portion of the
Premises as compared with the rentable area of the entire Premises). In no event is Landlord
obligated to repair or restore any special equipment or improvements installed by Tenant, or any
personal property (or other property) of Tenant. Landlord will, if necessary, equitably adjust
Tenant’s Share of Expenses Percentage, subject to Section 3.7, to account for any reduction in the
rentable area of the Premises or Building resulting from a casualty.
11.7. Rent Apportionment Upon Termination. If either party terminates this Lease under this
Article 11, Landlord will apportion Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Expenses on a per diem basis
and Tenant will pay the Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Expenses to (a) the date of the casualty
if the event renders the Premises completely untenantable or (b) if the event does not render the
Premises completely untenantable, the effective date of such termination (provided that if a
portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, but the remaining portion is tenantable, then
Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Expenses abates pro rata [based upon
the rentable area of the untenantable, portion of the Premises divided by the rentable area of the
entire Premises] from the date of the casualty and Tenant will pay the unabated portion of the Rent
to the date of such termination).
14
11.8. Exclusive Casualty Remedy. The provisions of this Article 11 are Tenant’s sole and
exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a casualty. To the extent permitted by the Laws,
Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination rights (by
virtue of a casualty) not specifically described in this Article 11.
12.1. Termination of Lease. If a Condemning Authority desires to effect a Taking of all or
any material part of the Property, Landlord will notify Tenant and Landlord and Tenant will
reasonably determine whether the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s intended
purposes. If Landlord and Tenant conclude that the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for
Tenant’s intended purposes, Landlord and Tenant will document such determination and this Lease
will terminate as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the
Property taken. Tenant will pay Rent to the date of termination. If a Condemning Authority takes
all or any material part of the Building, or if a Taking reduces the value of the Property by 50%
or more (as reasonably determined by Landlord in its sole discretion), regardless whether the
Premises is affected, then Landlord, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant prior to the date
the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken, may terminate this
Lease effective on the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the
Property taken.
12.2. Landlord’s Repair Obligations. If this Lease does not terminate with respect to the
entire Premises under Section 12.1 and the Taking includes a portion of the Premises, then this
Lease shall automatically terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken as of the date the
Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion taken and Landlord will, at its sole cost and
expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete architectural unit with all
commercially reasonable diligence and speed and will reduce the Basic Rent for the period after the
date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Premises taken to a sum equal
to the product of the Basic Rent provided for in this Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the rentable area of the Premises after the Taking and after Landlord restores the
Premises to a complete architectural unit, and the denominator of which is the rentable area of the
Premises prior to the Taking. Landlord will also equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Expenses
Percentage for the same period, subject to Section 3.7, to account for the reduction in the
rentable area of the Premises or the Building resulting from the Taking. Tenant’s obligation to
pay Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Expenses will xxxxx on a proportionate basis with respect to
that portion of the Premises remaining after the Taking that Tenant is unable to use during
Landlord’s restoration for the period of time that Tenant is unable to use such portion of the
Premises.
12.3. Tenant’s Participation. Landlord is entitled to receive and keep all damages, awards or
payments resulting from or paid on account of a Taking. Tenant waives and assigns to Landlord any
interest of Tenant in any such damages, awards or payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
may prove in any condemnation proceedings and may receive any separate award for damages to or
condemnation of Tenant’s movable trade fixtures and equipment and for relocation expenses;
provided, however, that Tenant has no right to receive any award for its interest in this Lease or
for loss of leasehold, including without limitation any award for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
12.4. Exclusive Taking Remedy. The provisions of this Article 12 are Tenant’s sole and
exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Taking. To the extent permitted by the Laws,
Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination rights or
any right to receive any payment or award (by virtue of a Taking) not specifically described in
this Article 12.
13.1.1. General Prohibition. Except as set forth in Section 13.1.2, Tenant will not cause
or suffer a Transfer without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably
15
withheld or delayed. If Landlord consents to the Transfer, Landlord may impose on Tenant or the
transferee such conditions as Landlord deems appropriate in its sole but reasonable discretion.
Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer must describe in detail the parties, terms
and portion of the Premises affected. Tenant will, in connection with requesting Landlord’s
consent, provide Landlord with a copy of any and all documents and information regarding the
proposed Transfer and the proposed transferee as Landlord reasonably requests. Landlord will
notify Tenant of Landlord’s election to consent or withhold consent within 30 days after receiving
Tenant’s written request for consent to the Transfer. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that no
Transfer, including without limitation a Transfer under Section 13.1.2, will release Tenant from
any liability or obligation under this Lease and that Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord after
such a Transfer as a principal and not as a surety or guarantor, nor shall the collection or
acceptance of rent from any such assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or
release of Tenant under any provision of the Lease. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant
will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, 50% of any amount Tenant receives on account of the
Transfer in excess of the amounts this Lease otherwise requires Tenant to pay. Any attempted
Transfer in violation of this Lease is null and void and constitutes a breach of this Lease.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s refusal to consent to a Transfer shall be deemed not
to have been unreasonably withheld if (i) the proposed transferee is not of a type and quality
consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, (ii) the proposed transferee is a
governmental agency or any party by whom any suit or action could be defended on the ground of
sovereign immunity, (iii) the proposed transferee does not have the financial capacity and credit
worthiness to undertake and perform the obligations of this Lease, or (iv) the space to be assigned
or sublet is not capable of being configured to allow appropriate means of ingress and egress.
Tenant also acknowledges that one or more existing or future mortgagees of a Mortgage affecting the
Property may have the right to approve any Transfer and that if such mortgagee withholds its
consent to a Transfer, Landlord shall have the absolute right to withhold its consent to a
Transfer.
13.1.2. Transfers to Affiliates. Provided that Tenant is not in default, beyond any
applicable cure period, in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant may cause a
Transfer to an Affiliate if: (a) Tenant notifies Landlord at least 30 days prior to such Transfer;
(b) Tenant delivers to Landlord, at the time of Tenant’s notice, current financial statements of
Tenant and the proposed transferee that are reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (c) the
transferee assumes and agrees in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord to perform Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease and to observe all terms and conditions of this Lease.
13.2. Costs. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses Landlord
actually incurs in connection with any Transfer, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’
fees and other third-party expenses, regardless whether Landlord consents to the Transfer, so long
as such costs do not exceed $5,000.
14.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following constitutes an “Event of
Default” by Tenant under this Lease:
14.1.1. Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant fails to pay as and when due (a) Basic Rent, (b) any
installment of Tenant’s Share of Expenses, or (c) any other Additional Rent amount, and such
failure continues for 10 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such failure.
14.1.2. Failure to Perform. Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant’s
non-monetary obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for a period of 30
days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such breach or failure; provided, however, that if Tenant
cannot reasonably cure its breach or failure within said 30 day period, then Tenant’s breach or
failure is not an Event of Default if Tenant promptly commences to cure its breach or failure and
thereafter diligently pursues the cure and effects the cure within a period of time that does not
exceed 90 days after the date that Landlord notified Tenant of the breach of failure.
Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Section 14.1.2, Tenant is not entitled to any notice
or cure period before an uncurable breach of this Lease (or failure) becomes an Event of Default.
14.1.3. Misrepresentation. The existence of any material misrepresentation or omission in
any financial statements, correspondence or other information provided to Landlord by or on behalf
of Tenant in
16
connection with: (a) Tenant’s negotiation or execution of this Lease; (b) Landlord’s evaluation of
Tenant as a prospective tenant at the Property; (c) any proposed or attempted Transfer; or (d) any
consent or approval requested by Tenant under this Lease.
14.1.5. Other Defaults. (a) Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for
the benefit of creditors; (b) a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or
rearrangement is filed by Tenant; (c) a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for
reorganization or rearrangement is filed against Tenant and is not dismissed within 60 days; (d) a
trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located
at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant
within 30 days; or (e) substantially all of Tenant’s assets, substantially all of Tenant’s assets
located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or
other judicial seizure not discharged within 30 days. If a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any act described in this section does not constitute an Event of Default, and the
court appoints a trustee to take possession of the Premises (or if Tenant remains a debtor in
possession of the Premises) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant’s interest hereunder, then
Landlord is entitled to receive, as Additional Rent, the amount by which the Rent (or any other
consideration) paid in connection with the Transfer exceeds the Rent otherwise payable by Tenant
under this Lease.
14.1.6. Notice Requirements. The notices required by this Section 14.1 are intended to
satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by the Laws and are not in addition to any such
requirements.
14.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord, at any time and from
time to time, and without preventing Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy, may
exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
14.2.1. Termination of Tenant’s Possession; Re-entry and Reletting Right. Terminate
Tenant’s right to possess the Premises by any lawful means with or without terminating this Lease,
in which event Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Unless
Landlord specifically states that it is terminating this Lease, Landlord’s termination of Tenant’s
right to possess the Premises is not to be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this
Lease or Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease. In such event, this Lease
continues in full force and effect (except for Tenant’s right to possess the Premises) and Tenant
continues to be obligated for and must pay all Rent as and when due under this Lease. If Landlord
terminates Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Landlord is not obligated to but may re-enter
the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises. Landlord may store any
property Landlord removes from the Premises in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for
the account of Tenant. Upon such re-entry, Landlord is not obligated to but may relet all or any
part of the Premises to a third party or parties for Tenant’s account. Tenant is immediately
liable to Landlord for all Re-entry Costs and must pay Landlord the same within 10 days after
Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Landlord may relet the Premises for a period shorter or longer than
the remaining Term. If Landlord relets all or any part of the Premises, Tenant will continue to
pay Rent when due under this Lease and Landlord will refund to Tenant the Net Rent Landlord
actually receives from the reletting up to a maximum amount equal to the Rent paid by Tenant that
came due after Landlord’s reletting. If the Net Rent Landlord actually receives from reletting
exceeds such Rent, Landlord will apply the excess sum to future Rent due under this Lease.
Landlord may retain any surplus Net Rent remaining at the expiration of the Term.
14.2.2. Termination of Lease. Terminate this Lease effective on the date Landlord specifies
in its termination notice to Tenant. Upon termination, Tenant will immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover
from Tenant and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand all damages Landlord incurs by reason of
Tenant’s default, including, without limitation: (a) all Rent due and payable under this Lease as
of the effective date of the termination; (b) any amount necessary to compensate Landlord for any
detriment proximately caused to Landlord by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this
Lease or which in the ordinary course would likely result from Tenant’s failure to perform,
including but not limited to any Re-entry Costs; (c) an amount equal to the difference between the
present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of the Basic Rent for the balance of
the Term remaining
17
after the effective date of the termination (assuming no termination) and the present worth, as of the
effective date of the termination, of a fair market Rent for the Premises for the same period (as
Landlord reasonably determines the fair market Rent); and (d) Tenant’s Share of Expenses to the
extent Landlord is not otherwise reimbursed for such Expenses. For purposes of this section,
Landlord will utilize the Discount Rate to compute present worth. Nothing in this section shall
limit or prejudice Landlord’s right to prove and obtain damages in an amount equal to the maximum
amount allowed by the Laws, regardless whether such damages are greater than the amounts set forth
in this section.
14.2.3. Present Worth of Rent. Recover from Tenant, and Tenant will pay to Landlord on
demand, an amount equal to the then present worth, as of the effective date of termination, of the
aggregate of the Rent and any other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease for the unexpired
portion of the Term, less the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the
corresponding period. Landlord will utilize the Discount Rate to compute present worth. The fair
and reasonable rental value of the Premises shall be determined in good faith by Landlord on the
basis of the rents payable under leases entered into by Landlord for comparable space in the
Building during the 18-month period immediately preceding Landlord’s election to proceed under this
Section 14.2.3; or, if Landlord reasonably determines that no such leases for comparable space have
been entered into, then the fair and reasonable rental value shall be otherwise determined by
Landlord in good faith. If the Premises or any part thereof are relet by Landlord before any
adjudication of Landlord’s claims for damages, then the amount of rent payable to Landlord for such
reletting shall be deemed the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises (or the applicable
part thereof) during the term of the reletting.
14.2.4. Self Help. Perform the obligation on Tenant’s behalf without waiving Landlord’s
rights under this Lease at law or in equity, and without releasing Tenant from any obligation under
this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all sums that Landlord pays and all
obligations that Landlord incurs on Tenant’s behalf under this section.
14.2.5. Other Remedies. Any other right or remedy available to Landlord under this Lease,
under the Laws, and/or in equity.
14.3. Costs. Tenant will reimburse and compensate Landlord on demand and as Additional Rent
for any actual loss Landlord incurs in connection with, resulting from or related to any breach or
default of Tenant under this Lease, regardless whether the breach or default constitutes an Event
of Default, and regardless whether suit is commenced or judgment is entered. Such loss shall
include all reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses (including paralegal fees and other
professional fees and expenses) Landlord incurs in investigating, negotiating, settling or
enforcing any of Landlord’s rights or remedies or otherwise protecting Landlord’s interests under
this Lease. Tenant will also indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord),
protect and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all Claims that Landlord or any of
the other Landlord Parties incurs if Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties becomes or is
made a party to any claim or action (a) instituted by Tenant (other than claims asserting that
Landlord has breached any of its obligations to Tenant under this Lease) or by or against any
person holding any interest in the Premises by, under or through Tenant, (b) for foreclosure of any
lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or such other person, or (c) otherwise
arising out of or resulting from any act or omission of Tenant or such other person. In addition
to the foregoing, Landlord is entitled to reimbursement of all of Landlord’s fees, expenses and
damages, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and paralegal and other
professional fees and expenses, Landlord incurs in connection with protecting its interests in any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Tenant, including without limitation any proceeding
under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code; by exercising and advocating rights under Section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code; by proposing a plan of reorganization and objecting to competing plans; and by
filing motions for relief from stay. Such fees and expenses are payable on demand, or, in any
event, upon assumption or rejection of this Lease in bankruptcy.
14.4. Waiver and Release by Tenant. Tenant waives and releases all Claims Tenant may have
resulting from Landlord’s re-entry and taking possession of the Premises by any lawful means and
removing and storing Tenant’s property as permitted under this Lease, provided all such action is
taken in a lawful manner and is the result of a breach by Tenant of this Lease. INTENTIONALLY
DELETED.
18
14.5. Landlord’s Default. If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of its obligations
under this Lease, Tenant will notify Landlord of the default and Landlord will have 30 days after
receiving such notice to cure the default. If Landlord is not reasonably able to cure the default
within a 30 day period, Landlord will have an additional reasonable period of time to cure the
default (not to exceed 90 days) as long as Landlord promptly commences the cure and thereafter
diligently pursues the cure to completion. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any
other person for consequential, special or punitive damages (including without limitation lost
profits). Landlord fails to cure any default within said 90 day period, Tenant may perform the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease and deduct all costs incurred by Tenant from the Rent
payable under this Lease.
14.6. No Waiver. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease, no failure by Landlord or
Tenant to insist upon the other party’s performance of any of the terms of this Lease or to
exercise any right or remedy upon a breach thereof, constitutes a waiver of any such breach or of
any breach or default by the other party in its performance of its obligations under this Lease.
No acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent from Tenant or any third party during the
continuance of any breach or default by Tenant of Tenant’s performance of its obligations under
this Lease constitutes Landlord’s waiver of any such breach or default. Except as specifically set
forth in this Lease, none of the terms of this Lease to be kept, observed or performed by a party
to this Lease, and no breach thereof, are waived, altered or modified except by a written
instrument executed by the other party. One or more waivers by a party to this Lease are not to be
construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. No statement
on a payment check from a party to this Lease or in a letter accompanying a payment check is
binding on the other party. The party receiving the check, with or without notice to the other
party, may negotiate such check without being bound to the conditions of any such statement.
15.1. Subordination. This Lease, all rights of Tenant in this Lease, and all interest or
estate of Tenant in the Property, is subject and subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage existing
as of the Effective Date. Tenant, within 10 days of Landlord’s demand, will execute and deliver to
Landlord (or to any other person Landlord designates) any instruments, releases or other documents
reasonably required to confirm the subordination of this Lease as provided in this Section to the
lien of any Mortgage so long as such document provides adequate non-disturbance protection in favor
of Tenant. Notwithstanding the subordination to any future Mortgage provided for in this section,
as long as Tenant is not in default in the payment of Rent or the performance and observance of any
covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement to be performed and observed by Tenant under this
Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period this Lease provides Tenant, the holder of the
Mortgage shall not by virtue of such subordination under this section be entitled to disturb
Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises under this Lease and shall recognize all of Tenant’s
rights under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have all holders of
any Mortgages execute and deliver to Tenant and a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment
Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Tenant and the Lender. If Landlord fails to obtain such
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement(s) within 30 days after the Effective Date
of this Lease, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord. Landlord
acknowledges and agrees that the lien of any existing or future Mortgage will not cover Tenant’s
moveable trade fixtures or personal property located in or on the Premises.
15.2. Attornment. If the holder of any Mortgage at a foreclosure sale or any other transferee
acquires Landlord’s interest in this Lease, the Premises or the Property, then Tenant will attorn
to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease, the Premises or the
Property (as the case may be) and recognize such transferee or successor as landlord under this
Lease so long as Tenant’s possession of the Premises is not disturbed and Tenant’s rights under
this Lease are recognized. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law that gives
or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the
Premises upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest, so long as the provisions of this Article 15 are
complied with.
15.3. Mortgagee Protection Clause. Tenant will give the holder of any Mortgage, by registered
mail, a copy of any notice of default Tenant serves on Landlord, provided that Landlord or the
holder of the Mortgage previously notified Tenant (by way of notice of assignment of rents and
leases or otherwise) of the address of such holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord fails
to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then Tenant will provide written
notice of such failure to such holder and such holder will have an
19
additional 15 days after receipt of such notice within which to cure the default. If the default
cannot be cured within the additional 15 day period, then the holder will have such additional time
as may be necessary to effect the cure (not to exceed 60 days) if, within the 15 day period, the
holder has promptly commenced and is diligently pursuing the cure (including without limitation
commencing foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effect the cure).
15.4.1. Contents. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord a written statement in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord certifying:
(a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any
modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the
modifications); (b) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (c) the last date of
payment of Rent and the time period covered by such payment; (d) whether there are then existing
any breaches or defaults by Landlord under this Lease known to Tenant and, if so, specifying the
same; (e) specifying any existing claims or defenses in favor of Tenant against the enforcement of
this Lease; and (f) such other factual statements as Landlord, or any lender, prospective lender,
investor or purchaser may reasonably request. Tenant will deliver the properly signed statement to
Landlord within 10 days after receipt of Landlord’s request. Landlord may give any such statement
by Tenant to any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser of all or any part of the
Property and any such party may conclusively rely upon such statement as true and correct.
15.4.2. Failure to Deliver. If Tenant does not timely deliver the properly signed statement
referenced in Section 15.4.1 to Landlord, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under
this Lease. Further, if Tenant so fails to timely deliver the properly signed statement, then
Landlord and any lender, prospective lender, or purchaser may conclusively presume and rely, except
as otherwise represented by Landlord, (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been
changed; (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (iii) that not more than one
month’s Rent has been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not in default in the performance
of any of its obligations under this Lease. In such event, Tenant is estopped from denying the
truth of such facts.
16.1. Surrender of Premises. Tenant will surrender the Premises to Landlord at the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease in good order, condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear,
permitted Alterations, and damage by casualty or condemnation excepted), and will surrender all
keys to the Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for Tenant’s payment of Basic Rent or as
Landlord otherwise directs. Tenant will also inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes
and vaults, if any, in the Premises or on the Property. Tenant will at such time remove all of its
property from the Premises and, if Landlord required as a condition of its consent, all specified
Alterations carried out by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant will promptly repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such removal. If Tenant does not surrender the Premises in accordance with this
section, Tenant will indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect
and hold harmless Landlord from and against any Claim resulting from Tenant’s delay in so
surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any Claim made by any succeeding occupant
founded on such delay. All property of Tenant not removed on or before the last day of the Term is
deemed abandoned. Tenant appoints Landlord as Tenant’s agent to remove, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, all of Tenant’s property from the Premises upon termination of this Lease and to cause its
transportation and storage for Tenant’s benefit, all at the sole cost and risk of Tenant, and
Landlord will not be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss thereof or in any manner in
respect thereto.
16.2. Holding Over. If Tenant possesses the Premises after the Term expires (or after this
Lease is otherwise terminated) without executing a new lease but with Landlord’s written consent,
then Tenant is deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, subject to all
provisions, conditions and obligations of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except
that: (a) for the first 3 months of the hold-over period herein, Tenant shall entitled to remain
under the same terms and conditions as provided in the Lease, except that Rent for each month
during such 3 month period shall be equal to 125% of the Rent for the
20
month immediately preceding the commencement of the 3 month period herein granted; and (b) for each
month of the holdover period herein (and, in the case of the one-time 3 month holdover provided in
this Section, then for each month following that 3 month period), the monthly Rent payment will be
equal to 150% of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the commencement of
the applicable holdover period, and either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the month-to-month
tenancy at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. If Tenant possesses the
Premises after the Term expires (or is otherwise terminated) without executing a new lease and
without Landlord’s written consent, then Tenant is deemed to be occupying the Premises without
claim of right (but subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease) and, in addition to Tenant’s
liability for failing to surrender possession of the Premises as provided in Section 16.1, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a charge for each day of occupancy after expiration of the Term in an amount
equal to 150% of Tenant’s then-existing Rent (on a daily basis).
17.1.1. Tenant’s Improvements. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, complete the
tenant improvements specified in the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit 17.1.1 and made
a part hereof, and as shown on the Floor Plans attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and made a part
hereof (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”). The Tenant Improvements shall be considered
Alterations, and Tenant shall comply with all requirements for the construction of Alterations
contained within Article 8 of this Lease.
17.1.2. Substantial Completion. Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements on or before November 1, 2007.
17.1.3. Tenant Allowance. The costs of the Tenant Improvements shall be the sole
responsibility of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord shall provide Tenant
with an allowance of $806,409.10, calculated at $30.10 per rentable square foot of the Premises
(the “Allowance”). Additionally Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost, for installing
fiber optic lines sufficient for Tenant’s business operations (which costs exceeding $3,000.00
shall be deducted from the Allowance). Landlord shall complete such work on or before the
Commencement Date and if Landlord fails to do so, Tenant may complete such work and deduct all
costs incurred by Tenant from Rent. Landlord shall be entitled to retain a portion of the
Allowance to pay all costs and expenses directly incurred by Landlord for the review of all plans
and specifications for the Tenant Improvements, which shall not exceed $2,000 (the “Review Fees”).
After deduction of the Review Fees, the remaining portion of the Allowance may be used as follows:
upon receipt of paid receipt invoices, lien waivers, and any other information or documentation
reasonably requested by Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant from the Allowance for the
Reimbursables. For purposes of this Section 17.1.3, “Reimbursables” shall mean Tenant’s actual
costs relating to: (i) construction of the Tenant Improvements; (ii) wiring and cabling of
telephone, computer, and voice/data systems; (iii) systems and furniture installation; (iv)
architectural and design plans; and (v) permits, licenses, and other fees relative to the
construction of the Tenant Improvements. If the cost of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the
Allowance, Tenant shall have sole responsibility for the payment of such excess cost. If the cost
of the Tenant’s Improvements is less than the Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any
payment or credit for such excess amount. To the extent any portion of the Allowance has not been
advanced to Tenant by April, 30, 2008, the remaining portion of the Allowance as of said date shall
be forfeited to Landlord, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the costs of any Tenant
Improvements on and after said date.
17.2. Parking Facilities. Neither Tenant, nor any of its employees, agents, or visitors
shall use the parking areas for overnight storage of vehicles, except in the enclosed parking
garage areas. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord will not be responsible for any loss,
theft or damage to vehicles, or the contents thereof, parked or left in the parking areas of the
Property. Landlord will provide, during the Term, free of charge, all surface parking spaces
located on the Property (as depicted on Exhibit 2-B) for the exclusive use of Tenant and its
employees, agents, and visitors. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent
adjacent property owners and their agents, employees and invitees, from parking in the parking
spaces located on the Property.
21
18.1. Notices. All Notices must be in writing and must be sent by personal delivery, by
nationally-recognized overnight express delivery service, by U.S. registered or certified mail
(return receipt requested, postage prepaid), or by electronic “fax” transfer (conditioned on prompt
telephone confirmation, with copy to follow by regular mail) to the addresses specified in the
Basic Terms or at such other place as either party may designate to the other party by written
notice given in accordance with this section. Such notices shall be deemed received (a) as of the
date of delivery, if delivered by hand by 4:00 p.m. Central on a Business Day (if hand delivered
after said time, any such notice shall be deemed received as of the first Business Day after
delivery), (b) as of the next Business Day, if tendered to an overnight express delivery service by
the applicable deadline for overnight service, (c) as of the fifth Business Day after mailing, if
sent by regular mail, or (d) as of the date of fax transmission, if properly transmitted by fax
prior to 12:00 p.m. Central (if transmitted after said time, any such fax transmission shall be
deemed received as of the next Business Day).
18.2. Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. If Landlord Transfers any interest in the Premises for
any reason other than collateral security purposes, the transferor is automatically relieved of all
obligations on the part of Landlord accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the
Transfer, provided that the transferee assumes all of Landlord’s obligation and Landlord delivers
to the transferee any funds the transferor holds in which Tenant has an interest. Landlord’s
covenants and obligations in this Lease bind each successive Landlord only during and with respect
to its respective period of ownership. However, notwithstanding any such Transfer, the transferor
remains entitled to the benefits of Tenant’s indemnity and insurance obligations (and similar
obligations) under this Lease with respect to matters arising or accruing during the transferor’s
period of ownership.
18.3. Successors. The covenants and agreements contained in this Lease bind and inure to the
benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, bind Tenant and its successors and assigns and
inure to the benefit of Tenant and its permitted successors and assigns.
18.4. Captions and Interpretation. The captions of the articles and sections of this Lease
are to assist the parties in reading this Lease and are not a part of the terms or provisions of
this Lease. Whenever required by the context of this Lease, the singular includes the plural and
the plural includes the singular.
18.5. Relationship of Parties. This Lease does not create the relationship of principal and
agent, or of partnership, joint venture, or of any association or relationship between Landlord and
Tenant other than that of landlord and tenant.
18.6. Entire Agreement; Amendment. The Basic Terms and all exhibits, addenda and schedules
attached to this Lease are incorporated into this Lease as though fully set forth in this Lease and
together with this Lease contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
improvement and leasing of the Premises. All preliminary and contemporaneous negotiations,
including, without limitation, any letters of intent or other proposals and any drafts and related
correspondence, are merged into and superseded by this Lease. No subsequent alteration, amendment,
change or addition to this Lease is binding on Landlord or Tenant unless it is in writing and
signed by the party to be charged with performance.
18.7. Severability. If any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement of this Lease
is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion thereof and all other
covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease, will not be affected by such
holding, and will remain valid and in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
22
18.8. Survival. All of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (together with interest on
payment obligations at the Maximum Rate) accruing prior to expiration or other termination of this
Lease survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease. Further, all of the parties’
release, indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under this Lease survive the
expiration or other termination of this Lease, without limitation.
18.9. Attorneys’ Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant commences any litigation or judicial
action to determine or enforce any of the provisions of this Lease, the prevailing party in any
such litigation or judicial action is entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenditures) from the non-prevailing
party.
18.10. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has
not had any dealings with any realtors, brokers, finders or agents in connection with this Lease
(except as may be specifically set forth in the Basic Terms) and agrees to release, indemnify,
defend and hold the other harmless from and against any Claim based on the failure or alleged
failure to pay any realtors, brokers, finders or agents (other than any brokers specified in the
Basic Terms) and from any cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commission or charges
claimed by any realtors, brokers, finders or agents (other than any brokers specified in the Basic
Terms) claiming by, through or on behalf of it with respect to this Lease or the negotiation of
this Lease. Landlord will pay any brokers named in the Basic Terms in accordance with the
applicable listing agreement for the Property.
18.11. Governing Law. This Lease is governed by, and must be interpreted under, the
internal laws of the State. Any suit arising from or relating to this Lease must be brought in the
County; Landlord and Tenant each waive the right to bring suit elsewhere.
18.12. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of
every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.
18.13. Joint and Several Liability. All parties signing this Lease as Tenant are jointly
and severally liable for performing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
18.14. Authority. Landlord and Tenant, and each individual signing this Lease on behalf of
either Landlord or Tenant represents and warrants that they are duly authorized to sign on behalf
of and to bind said party and that this Lease is a duly authorized obligation of said party.
18.15. Force Majeure. If either party is delayed or prevented from performing any act
required in this Lease (excluding, however, the payment of money) by reason of Force Majeure, then
such party’s performance of such act is excused for the period of delay caused by Force Majeure,
and the period of the performance of any such act will be extended for a period equivalent to such
period.
18.16. No Recording. Tenant will not record this Lease, provided that Tenant may record a
Memorandum of this Lease and Landlord agrees to execute any reasonable Memorandum of Lease if
requested by Tenant.
18.17. Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. The terms and conditions of this Lease constitute
proprietary information of Landlord that Tenant will keep confidential. Tenant’s disclosure of the
terms and conditions of this Lease could adversely affect Landlord’s ability to negotiate other
leases and impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant, without
Landlord’s consent (which consent Landlord may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute
discretion), will not directly or indirectly disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any
other tenant or prospective tenant of the Building or to any other person or entity other than
Tenant’s employees and agents who have a legitimate need to know such information (and who will
also keep the same in confidence).
18.18. Financial Disclosure. At the request of Landlord, from time to time during the Term,
but no more often than once per year, Tenant shall provide Landlord with any reasonable financial
records, including financial statements or federal tax returns of Tenant prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for the prior two fiscal years of operation of
Tenant. Landlord shall retain such financial disclosure in
23
confidence but shall be permitted to provide copies to its mortgagees for the purpose of financing
the Building or to prospective purchasers of the Building.
18.19. Construction of Lease and Terms. The terms and provisions of this Lease represent
the results of negotiations between Landlord and Tenant, each of which are sophisticated parties
and each of which has been represented or been given the opportunity to be represented by counsel
of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal,
economic or otherwise. Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Lease must be interpreted
and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and Landlord and Tenant each
waive the application of any rule of law that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions
contained in this Lease are to be interpreted or construed against the party who prepared the
executed Lease or any earlier draft of the same. Landlord’s submission of this instrument to
Tenant for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option to
lease and is not effective as a lease or otherwise until Landlord and Tenant both execute and
deliver this Lease. The parties agree that, regardless of which party provided the initial form of
this Lease, drafted or modified one or more provisions of this Lease, or compiled, printed or
copied this Lease, this Lease is to be construed solely as an offer from Tenant to lease the
Premises, executed by Tenant and provided to Landlord for acceptance on the terms set forth in this
Lease, which acceptance and the existence of a binding agreement between Tenant and Landlord may
then be evidenced only by Landlord’s execution of this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant each caused this Lease to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized
representative to be effective as of the Effective Date.
