THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (“Lease”) is dated as of the Effective Date, by and between Landlord and Tenant. The foregoing summary of Basic Lease Terms are hereby incorporated with the same force and effect as though fully set forth herein. Landlord and Tenant for themselves and their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:
1.Leased Premises. Landlord, in consideration of the rents to be paid and the covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant as hereinafter set forth, hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Leased Premises for the exclusive use of the Tenant in the Building for the Lease Term and upon the conditions and agreements hereinafter set forth below. Landlord and Tenant stipulate that the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises is approximately as set forth in the Summary of Basic Lease Terms, subject to change pursuant to as-built architectural drawings as set forth in the Basic Lease Terms to be certified to Landlord and Tenant upon completion of the Tenant’s Improvements and as memorialized as provided in Exhibit D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right from time to time to re-measure the Leased Premises in accordance with the commonly used or current or revised standards promulgated from time to time by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) or other generally accepted measurement standards utilized by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Following receipt of written notice from Landlord of such re-measurement, the Base Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share, and all other future amounts payable by Tenant hereunder based upon the rentable or useable area of the Leased Premises shall be adjusted in accordance with the revised measurement of the Leased Premises.
This Lease shall constitute a binding agreement between the parties effective as of the Effective Date. In addition to the use of Leased Premises, Tenant shall have use of all of the driveways, parking areas, plazas, walkways and public and private streets and drive aisles as depicted on Exhibit A-1, and all other areas on the Project that are provided from time to time by Landlord for the general nonexclusive use by Tenant and other tenants of the Project or the general public (the “Common Area”). Notwithstanding the above, Common Areas may also include a portion of areas that are reserved for a particular tenant’s use (such as for reserved parking) but maintained by Landlord with the Common Areas for administrative convenience and efficiency. Access to the portion of the Common Area labeled “North Lot Restricted Area” on Exhibit A-1 shall be made available for the non-exclusive use of Tenant and its employees, customers and invitees, but shall be controlled during Tenant’s customary business hours through a method (such as controlled access gates, parking passes, stickers, etc.) that is reasonably determined by Landlord and are reasonably acceptable to Tenant to ensure Tenant has access to the parking stalls required under Sections 14(a) and 14(b). If reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, such control shall also include the provision for and/or designation of visitor spaces for the Leased Premises. Provisions regarding the remodeling or construction of Tenant’s Improvements within the Leased Premises or the completion of the Landlord’s Improvements are set forth in the Work Letter. Except as set forth in the Work Letter, Landlord has no obligation for the completion of any finish work or remodeling of the Leased Premises, other than being delivered in broom clean condition.
Tenant understands and agrees that except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the Leased Premises shall be leased by Tenant in its as-is condition without any improvements or alterations by Landlord unless Landlord has expressly agreed to make such improvements or alterations in the Work Letter. Landlord shall deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant following Landlord’s approval of the Approved Working Drawings (as defined in the Work Letter) and subject to Landlord’s receipt of the Security Deposit and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (including, but not limited to, the insurance provisions in the Lease and Work Letter). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not be deemed to have made any
representations or warranties with respect to the suitability of the Leased Premises for Tenant’s use, or otherwise, and shall have no other obligation for the completion of the Leased Premises. By taking possession of the Leased Premises and acceptance of Landlord’s Improvements as contemplated in the Work Letter, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed that the same is in good order, repair, and condition.
Landlord represents, warrants and covenants to Tenant that as of the Effective Date: (a) Landlord has the full right and power to execute and perform under this Lease; (b) Landlord is the sole fee simple owner of the Building, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; (d) Landlord is not in default under such mortgage or any loan document encumbering the Leased Premises or the Project. The term “Mortgage” as used in this Lease will be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments, and any other similar encumbrances, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and any reference to the “lienholder” of a mortgage will be deemed to include the beneficiary under a Mortgage.
On or before the Effective Date, Tenant has applied for certain tax incentive programs with the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (the “GOED Tax Incentives”). If Tenant has not received approval of the GOED Tax Incentives by November 12, 2020 (“GOED Deadline”), Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice given to Landlord within one (1) business day following the GOED Deadline. Failure by Tenant to deliver the aforementioned termination notice within the period set forth above shall be deemed a waiver of such termination right. In the event Tenant timely exercises the foregoing termination right, this Lease shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, except for any provisions which expressly survive the termination of this Lease, and Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, less any amounts necessary to reimburse Landlord for expenses and cost incurred under the Work Letter up to and including the termination date.
2.Term.
(a)Lease Term. The term of this Lease shall be for the Lease Term, beginning at 12:00 midnight on the Commencement Date and expiring at 11:59 p.m. on the Expiration Date. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord following the completion of Tenant’s Improvements, and within ten (10) business days following completion of Tenant’s Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto setting forth the exact date of the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the Lease Term.
Except as set forth in the Work Letter, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or loss incurred by Tenant for Landlord’s failure for whatever cause to deliver possession of the Leased Premises by any particular date, nor shall this Lease be void or voidable on account of such failure to timely deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Landlord’s Improvements substantially completed.
(b)[***].
(c)[***].
(d)[***].
3.Base Rent.
(a)Base Rent. The Base Rent shall be payable in monthly installments as set forth in Paragraph 18 of the Summary of Basic Lease Terms, in advance without notice, demand,
setoff or deduction except as expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant shall make the first payment of monthly Base Rent on the Effective Date, [***]. Thereafter the monthly installments shall be due on the 1st day of each month, [***]. All other sums or charges as are required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease in addition to Base Rent, including without limitation Operating Expenses (both as defined and determined below), shall be referred to as “Additional Rent” and shall be payable in the manner provided for herein and recoverable by Landlord as Rent. The Base Rent and Additional Rent are collectively referred to herein as “Rent”, and shall be paid to Landlord without notice or demand, deduction or offset except as expressly provided in this Lease to Landlord’s Address or to such other person or place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
(b)Fair Market Rental Value. The Base Rent for the sixth (6th) lease year as described in Paragraph 18 of the Summary of Basic Lease Terms (calendar months seventy-nine (79) through ninety (90) or the Lease Term) shall be the greater of (i) the Fair Market Rental Value of the Leased Premises, and (ii) a three percent (3%) increase over the Base Rent owing immediately prior to the sixth (6th) lease year, which Base Rent shall increase by three percent (3%) each lease year thereafter during the Lease Term. Not less than six (6) months prior to the Termination Notice Deadline (which Termination Notice Deadline will be extended for one day for each day that Landlord is late in providing Landlord’s Good Faith Determination), Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s good faith determination of the Fair Market Rental Value for the sixth (6th) lease year (“Landlord’s Good Faith Determination”). If Landlord determines that the Fair Market Rental Value for the sixth (6th) lease year is less than an amount equal to a three percent (3%) increase over the Base Rent owing immediately prior to the sixth (6th) lease year, the Base Rent for the sixth (6th) lease year shall be an amount equal to a three percent (3%) increase over the Base Rent owing immediately prior to the sixth (6th) lease year. If Landlord determines that the Fair Market Rental Value for the sixth (6th) Lease Year is greater than an amount equal to a three percent (3%) increase over the Base Rent owing immediately prior to the sixth (6th) lease year, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Good Faith Determination, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected such determination. If Tenant delivers to Landlord timely notice of its objection to such determination or fails to deliver its approval or objection to Landlord’s Good Faith Determination, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith efforts to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value within fifteen (15) business days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of objection (the “Outside Agreement Date”). If Landlord and Tenant are unable to so agree by the Outside Agreement Date, the parties shall appoint brokers and the brokers shall determine the Fair Market Rental Value in accordance with the following procedure:
(i)Within fifteen (15) business days following the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a broker who shall be a licensed real estate broker having significant experience in leasing similar office space in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area for at least the immediately preceding ten (10) years prior to such appointment. The two brokers so appointed shall jointly attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value. If the brokers are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after appointment of the last appointed broker, then within ten (10) business days after expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the brokers shall meet and concurrently deliver to each other their respective written determinations of the Fair Market Rental Value for the sixth (6th) lease year supported by the reasons therefor, and promptly deliver copies of their determinations to Landlord and Tenant. If the higher of such determinations is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower, then the Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the two determinations. Otherwise, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by a third broker as set forth below.
(ii) The two brokers shall appoint a third broker, having the qualifications stated above, and shall notify the parties of the identity of such third broker. If the two brokers are unable to agree upon a third broker within twenty (20) days, either party may, upon not less than five (5) days’ written notice to the other party, apply to the American Arbitration Association for the appointment of a third broker meeting the qualifications stated above.
(iii)Within thirty (30) days after submission of the matter to the third broker, the third broker shall select the determination by either Landlord’s broker or Tenant’s broker as the Fair Market Rental Value and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The third broker, if he or she so elects, may conduct a hearing, at which Landlord and Tenant and their respective brokers may make supplemental oral and/or written presentations, with an opportunity for rebuttal by the other party and its representatives and for questioning by the third broker. No ex parte communications shall be permitted between the third broker and Landlord or Tenant until after the third broker has made his or her determination. The third broker shall be limited solely to the issue of whether the determination by Landlord’s broker or Tenant’s broker is closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value and shall have no right to propose a middle ground or to modify either of the two determinations or the provisions of this Lease. The decision of the third broker shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and may be enforced in accordance with the provisions of Utah law.
(iv)If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an broker within the time period specified hereinabove, the broker appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such broker’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In the event of the failure, refusal or inability of an broker to act, a successor shall be appointed in the same manner as the original broker.
(v)Each party shall pay the costs and fees of the broker appointed by such party. The costs and fees of the third broker, if applicable, shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant.
(c)Fair Market Rental Value. The term “Fair Market Rental Value” shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would then pay as monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of property comparable to the Leased Premises if such property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time and taking into account all of the purposes for which such property may be used.
4. Other Charges Payable by Tenant.
(a)Additional Rent.
(i)Operating Expenses. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay all expenses, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature, including appropriate reserves, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Building and the Common Area, including but not limited to those described in Subsection 4(b) below (“Operating Expenses”).
(ii)Operating Expenses are the following:
(1)reasonable wages and salaries actually paid to all employees, to the extent such employees are directly and actually engaged in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance or security of the Building or Common Area, including taxes, insurance and other benefits actually owing to such employees;
(2)all actual out of pocket expenses for supplies and materials used in the operation and maintenance of the Building or Common Area;
(3)costs of all utilities and maintenance of utility systems for the Building or Common Area, including but not limited to the cost of water, sewer and trash disposal, except for those costs billed directly to Tenant by its suppliers (which under this Lease may include gas and electricity, which, at Tenant’s election, shall be separately metered to the Building and Common Area, and which case Tenant shall pay directly to the appropriate supplier);
(4)costs of all third party maintenance and service agreements for the Building and Common Area, including, but not limited to, alarm service, janitorial service, window cleaning, security service, elevator maintenance, grounds maintenance and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems to the extent such agreements are not separately billed to Tenant;
(5)costs of all insurance relating to the Building and Common Area, as more thoroughly described in Subsection 10(e) below;
(6)costs of any repairs and general maintenance to the Building and Common Area, or any part thereof and the equipment therein (excluding repairs and general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance, by Tenant or by other third parties, and alterations attributable solely to Tenant);
(7)capital investment items (amortized over the useful life of such item) which are replacements or modifications of structural or nonstructural items located in the Building or the Common Area required to keep the Building or Common Area in good order or condition, or which reduce other Operating Expenses or which are required by any governmental order, including the cost of compliance with any laws affecting the Building or Common Area, excluding costs of the original construction of the Building or performance of the Landlord’s Improvements;
(8)professional management fees to manage the Building and Common Area, limited to four percent (4%) of Base Rent and Operating Expenses;
(9)accounting, inspection, legal and other consultation fees or expenses incurred in the ordinary course of operating the Building including, without limitation, fees charged by consultants retained by Landlord for services that are intended to produce a reduction in Operating Expenses, reduce the rate of increase in Operating Expenses, or reasonably improve the operation, maintenance, or state of repair of the Operating Expenses, and any dues or other assessments charged or imposed as a result of the inclusion of the Building in any metropolitan district or property owners association or sub-association;
(10)costs incurred by Landlord, or its agents, in engaging experts or other consultants to assist them in making the computations required hereunder;
(11)costs for lighting, heating and cooling, painting and cleaning the Building to the extent not directly paid by Tenant;
(12)costs of maintenance, lighting, sanding, paving repairs, restriping and general maintenance of parking areas, snow and ice removal, rubbish removal and landscaping;
(13)costs of licensing, permits, service and usage charges, costs of compliance with all rules and regulations and orders of governmental authorities pertaining to the Building and Common Area; including those related to engineering and environmental issues, air pollution control and monitoring air quality to the extent such costs are incurred or owning due to the occupancy or use of the Leased Premises; and
(14)costs of all association dues or any other fees, payments or dues owed under in any covenants, conditions or restrictions (“CC&Rs”) applicable to the Building and/or Common Area. Tenant acknowledges that such costs shall include Tenant’s Proportionate Share of costs to maintain the North Lot, Xxxx Street and all other shared access drives in the Project. After Project Stabilization, “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” of such costs shall be a percentage equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square footage of the Building and denominator of which is the rentable square footage of all buildings in the Project for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued, subject to change from time to time; provided that following Project Stabilization, in no event shall Tenant’s Proportionate Share be greater than thirty percent (30%).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, until a certificate of occupancy has been issued for at least 300,000 square feet of improvements in the Project and the owner of such improvements is required to contribute of Common Area expenses under any CC&Rs applicable to the Project (which occurrence is hereinafter referred to as “Project Stabilization”), Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall equal, and Tenant shall be required to pay, all Operating Expenses which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the North Lot, but Tenant shall not be required to contribute to such costs for any portion of the Common Area other than the North Lot until Project Stabilization is achieved.
(iii)Operating Expenses shall not include (i) replacement of or structural repairs to the roof, exterior walls or foundations of the Building, except as described in Section 4(a)(ii)(7) above; (ii) repairs to the extent covered by insurance proceeds, or paid by Tenant or other third parties; (iii) marketing expenses; (iv) any refunds received by Landlord that would reduce the net effective Operating Expenses payable by Landlord; and (v) any cost or expense associated with compliance with any Applicable Laws or Environmental Laws regarding any condition existing in the Leased Premises or Common Areas if such condition existed prior to the Commencement Date, including, but not limited to removal of any and all Hazardous Substances located in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date.
Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to not pay more than market rates and otherwise minimize Operating Expenses.
(iv)Payment of Operating Expenses. For each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Expenses for the following calendar year (the “Estimate Statement”). Tenant shall thereafter pay in advance in monthly installments, with the Base Rent, the estimated amount of the Operating Expenses. Such Estimate Statement may be revised from time to time by Landlord, but no more than one time for every calendar quarter under the Lease. Landlord shall within the period of 120 calendar days (or as soon thereafter as possible) after the close of each calendar year give Tenant a statement of such year’s actual Operating Expenses and, together with a reconciliation statement comparing the actual costs with the costs set forth in the Estimate Statement (an “Expense Reconciliation”). In the event such reconciliation statement reveals an underpayment by Tenant, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days, pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment. If, on the other hand, the reconciliation statement reveals an overpayment Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the amount of such overpayment or, at Landlord’s election, credit such amount to the succeeding monthly installments of Additional Rent;
provided, however, no refunds of Additional Rent, or amounts escrowed hereunder, shall be paid to Tenant until Tenant has cured any default of any of its obligations under the Lease. The failure of Landlord to submit statements provided for herein shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the Operating Expenses.
(v)Cap on Operating Expense Increases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, the aggregate “Controllable Expenses” (as hereinafter defined) included in Operating Expenses in any calendar year after the first year following the Commencement Date shall not increase by more than [***] on a cumulative, compounded annual basis, over the actual aggregate Controllable Expenses included in Operating Expenses for any preceding calendar year. For purposes of this Subsection, “Controllable Expenses” shall mean all Operating Expenses except: (i) insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Building and Land and/or the operation thereof; (ii) costs of capital expenditures which constitute Operating Expenses; (iii) utility expenses relating to the Building or Common Areas; (iv) taxes and assessments; (v) expenses relating to licensing, permits, service and usage charges and costs of compliance with governmental rules and regulations relating to the Building or Common Areas; and (vi) snow removal costs.
(b)Property Taxes.
(i)Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall pay all real estate taxes and assessments (including any fees, taxes or assessments against, or as a result of, any tenant improvements installed on the Land by or for the benefit of Tenant), including without limitation an amortized portion of any special assessments, imposed upon the Land and Building by any governmental bodies or authorities, and all charges specifically imposed in lieu of such taxes and any costs incurred in connection with appealing or contesting such assessments (the “Real Property Taxes”). Subject to Section 4(d) below, such payment shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of such taxes. Within such ten (10)-day period, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence that the Real Property Taxes have been paid. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any Real Property Taxes paid by Tenant covering any period of time before or after the Lease Term. Alternatively, Landlord may elect to xxxx Tenant in advance for such taxes and Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such taxes, as Additional Rent, at least ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of such taxes. Landlord shall pay such taxes prior to such delinquency date, provided Tenant has timely made payment to Landlord. Any penalty caused by Tenant’s failure to timely make such payments shall also be Additional Rent owed by Tenant immediately upon demand. Real Property Taxes shall not include state, local or federal personal and corporate income taxes measured by the income of Landlord; estate and inheritance taxes, franchise, succession and transfer taxes; and ad valorem taxes on Landlord’s personal furniture and furnishings.
(ii)Personal Property Taxes.
(1) Tenant shall pay all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall diligently pursue the separate assessment of such personal property, so that it is taxed separately from the Property.
(2)If any of Tenant’s personal property is taxed with the Property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes.
(c)Tenant Audit Right. If Tenant disputes the amount of Operating Expenses set forth in a given Expense Reconciliation, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole expense,
to cause Landlord's books and records with respect to the particular Expense Reconciliation to be audited (the “Audit”), provided Tenant (i) has not defaulted under this Lease and failed to cure such default within the time period specified in this Lease and (ii) delivers written notice (an “Audit Notice”) to Landlord on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after Landlord delivers the Expense Reconciliation in question to Tenant (such 90-day period, the “Response Period”). If Tenant fails to timely deliver an Audit Notice with respect to a given Expense Reconciliation, then Tenant's right to undertake an Audit with respect to that Expense Reconciliation shall automatically and irrevocably be waived. Any Expense Reconciliation shall be final and binding upon Tenant and shall, as between the parties, be conclusively deemed correct, at the end of the applicable Response Period, unless prior thereto, Tenant timely delivers an Audit Notice with respect to the then-applicable Expense Reconciliation. If Tenant timely delivers an Audit Notice, Tenant must commence such Audit within sixty (60) days after the Audit Notice is delivered to Landlord, and the Audit must be completed within thirty (30) days of the date on which it is begun. If Tenant fails, for any reason, to commence and complete the Audit within such periods, the Expense Reconciliation that Tenant elected to Audit shall be deemed final and binding upon Tenant and shall, as between the parties, be conclusively deemed correct. The Audit shall take place at the offices of Landlord where its books and records are located, at a mutually convenient time during Landlord's regular business hours. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that any person or entity engaged by Tenant to conduct the Audit shall be compensated on an hourly basis and shall not be compensated based upon a commission or contingency fee basis. Accordingly, any representative of Tenant conducting, assisting, or having any involvement with the audit shall not be permitted to have a financial stake in the outcome of the audit and Landlord shall be entitled to receive credible evidence of the same and Landlord may refuse to allow the audit in the absence of such evidence. Additionally, any representative of Tenant conducting an audit shall first sign a confidentiality agreement that provides that it will not disclose the audit, its conclusions or any information obtained in the course of conducting the audit to anyone other than Tenant and Landlord.
If the results of the Audit reveal that the Tenant’s ultimate liability for Operating Expenses does not equal the amount set forth in the Expense Reconciliation with respect to the Expense Reconciliation that is the subject of the Audit, the appropriate adjustment shall be made between Landlord and Tenant, and any payment required to be made by Tenant to Landlord shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date of the Audit, and any amount owing by Landlord to Tenant shall be credited against the next maturing installments due from Tenant to Landlord for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to challenge Tenant’s Audit, in which event the matter shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant mutually acceptable to both parties, whose certification as to the proper amount shall be final and binding as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall pay the cost of such certification unless such certification determines that Tenant was overbilled by at least 2% in which event Landlord shall pay the cost of such certification. Pending resolution of the matter, Tenant shall pay the amounts as determined by Landlord, subject to retroactive adjustment after the matter is resolved. Tenant shall keep the results of all Tenant audits confidential. In no event shall this Lease be terminable nor shall Landlord be liable for damages based upon any disagreement regarding an adjustment of Operating Expenses; provided, in the event that the Audit it undisputed by Landlord and reveals that any of the Operating Expenses are overstated by four percent (4%) or more in any Expense Reconciliation, Landlord shall be responsible to reimburse Tenant the reasonable cost of the Audit within thirty (30) days after the date of the Audit. Tenant agrees that the results of any Audit shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity.
(d)Impounds for Real Property Taxes. If requested by any Mortgage lienholder to whom Landlord has granted a security interest in the Land or Building, or if Tenant is more than ten (10) days late in the payment of Rent more than once in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to one-twelfth (l/12) of the annual
Real Property Taxes payable by Tenant under this Lease, together with each payment of Base Rent. Landlord shall hold such payments in a non-interest bearing impound account. If unknown, Landlord shall reasonably estimate the amount of Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay any deficiency of funds in the impound account to Landlord upon written request. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord may apply any funds in the impound account to any obligation then due under this Lease.
5.Security Deposit. On the Effective Date, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit as set forth in Paragraph 16 of the Summary of Basic Lease Terms as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all Tenant’s obligations hereunder. No interest shall be paid upon the Security Deposit nor shall Landlord be required to maintain the deposit in a segregated account. The Security Deposit shall not be construed as prepaid Rent.

(vi)Other insurance shall be maintained as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time as is standard and reasonable for such assets located in similar geographic locations with similar operations and exposures.
(vii)Coverage under blanket or master policies may be approved by Landlord, provided coverage applies on the same basis as if the coverage was written outside of a blanket program and does not affect or lessen coverage available to the Premises herein, and otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this agreement unless otherwise approved by Landlord.

(i)Property insurance with insured limits no less than 100% of the current replacement cost of the Building, including Landlord Furnished Tenant Improvements, on the “All Risk” or Special Form, and any other perils which Landlord or Landlord’s lender deems reasonably necessary, including Loss of Rental Income coverage.

(ii)Commercial general liability insurance, which shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, insurance required to be maintained by Tenant. Tenant shall not be included as an additional insured on any policy of liability insurance maintained by Landlord.
(e)Landlord waives any and all rights of recovery against Tenant for or arising out of damage to, or destruction of the Leased Premises to the extent that Landlord’s property insurance policies then in force insure or the policies required by this Lease, whichever is broader, insure against such damage or destruction and permit such waiver. Tenant waives any and all rights of recovery against Landlord for or arising out of damage to or destruction of any property of Tenant to the extent that Tenant’s property insurance policies then in force or the policies required by this Lease, whichever is broader, insure against such damage or destruction and permit such waiver.
(f)Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be responsible for or liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connected with the Leased Premises or any part of the Building, nor shall Landlord or its agents be liable for any damage to property entrusted to employees of the Building, nor for loss of or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface, or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, except as a result of the intentional misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or
employees. Neither of Landlord or Tenant will be liable under any circumstances to the other party for any incidental or consequential damages. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accident in the Leased Premises or in the Building or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.
(g)Any and all “the equivalent of causes of loss – special form” insurance which is required to be carried by Tenant or Landlord shall be endorsed with a subrogation clause, substantially as follows: “This insurance shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any and all right of recovery against any party for loss occurring to the property described herein”; and each of Tenant and Landlord waives all claims for recovery from the other party, its officers, agents or employees for any loss or damage (whether or not such loss or damage is caused by negligence of the other party, its officers, agents or employees, and notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Lease to the contrary) to any of its real or personal property insured under valid and collectible insurance policies to the extent of the collectible recovery under such insurance.
11.Damage or Destruction. In the event the Leased Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other insured casualty, the insurance proceeds shall be made available therefor by the holder or holders of any Mortgage covering the Building and the damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord to the extent of such insurance proceeds available therefor, provided such repairs can, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be completed within 180 calendar days after the occurrence of such damage, without the payment of overtime or other premiums. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that as a condition to obtaining construction or permanent financing, and notwithstanding the reasonable commercial efforts of Landlord to provide otherwise, the holder of any first priority Mortgage requires that such Mortgage (or its related documents governing such loan) govern the disposition of insurance proceeds in the event of an fire or insured casualty, Tenant shall acknowledge in an SNDA (defined below) that such Mortgage (or its related documents governing such loan) shall control such disposition instead of this Lease. Until such repairs are completed, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Leased Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business; provided, however, if the damage is due to a material default by Tenant under this Lease or the gross negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents, or invitees, there shall be no abatement of Rent. If repairs cannot, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be made within said 180 calendar day period, Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of occurrence of such damage as to whether or not Landlord shall have elected to make such repairs. If Landlord elects not to make such repairs which cannot be completed within 180 calendar days, then either party may, by written notice to the other, terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the occurrence of such damage; provided, however, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the damage is due to a material default by Tenant under this Lease or the gross negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees. If Landlord has maintained the insurance required to be maintained by Landlord under this Lease and insurance proceeds are insufficient or unavailable to repair the damage, Landlord may, at its sole option, terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given not more than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the damage. Except as provided in this Section 11, there shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury, inconvenience, temporary limitation of access or interference to or with Tenant’s business or property arising from the making of any necessary repairs, or any alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Leased Premises, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment therein, in each event to the extent necessitated by such damage.
12.Eminent Domain. If the Building or a material part thereof, or more than thirty percent (30%) of the Parking Spaces that Landlord is obligated to make available to Tenant in the North Lot pursuant to Section 14 below, be taken by any authorized entity by eminent domain or by negotiated purchase under threat thereof, so that the Leased Premises shall become
totally untenantable, this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date when title or possession thereof is acquired or taken by the condemning authority. Tenant waives any claim to any part of the award payable to Landlord by the condemning authority for such taking and all rights of Tenant in this Lease shall immediately cease and terminate. If allowed under applicable law, Tenant may separately pursue a claim against the condemnor for (a) the value of Tenant’s Property; (b) Tenant’s moving costs; and/or (c) Tenant’s loss of business; so long as such claims do not reduce the amount of the condemnation award otherwise payable to Landlord. If fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Building shall be taken such that the Leased Premises becomes only partially untenantable, or such partial condemnation materially impairs Tenant’s ability to use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Uses, Tenant may upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord terminate this Lease. Absent such termination, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the portion of the Leased Premises which is not taken and Base Rent shall be proportionately abated. Landlord may without any obligation or liability to Tenant stipulate with any condemning authority for a judgment of condemnation without the necessity of a formal suit or judgment of condemnation, and the date of taking under this clause shall then be deemed the date agreed to under the terms of such agreement or stipulation; provided, however, that Landlord will promptly notify Tenant of any condemnation threatened to Landlord in writing and allow Tenant to participate in such negotiations if it is customary in such jurisdiction. In the event that less than thirty percent (30%) of the Parking Spaces that Landlord is obligated to make available to Tenant in the North Lot pursuant to Section 14 below are taken by any authorized entity by eminent domain or by negotiated purchase under threat thereof, Landlord may replace such Parking Spaces by providing surface or structured parking located within one (1) city block of the block of the Building in the amount of the taken Parking Spaces. In the event Landlord is unable to provide alternative parking arrangements replacing all or substantially all of the taken Parking Spaces, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the earlier of the date when title or possession thereof is acquired or taken by the condemning authority.
13.Assignment and Subletting.
(a)Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, sell, assign or transfer this Lease, in whole or in part, or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Leased Premises or Common Area or any part thereof to be occupied by any person, corporation, partnership, or other entity except Tenant or Tenant's employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers”), without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13(a) above, the consent of Landlord shall not be required in the event of an assignment by Tenant to (i) any entity directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries that is controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Tenant and of equal or better financial strength (and Landlord may require the delivery of financial statements and any other information concerning such proposed assignment or sublease which Landlord may reasonably request) (an “Affiliated Entity”); (ii) any entity resulting from the merger or consolidation of or with Tenant or an Affiliated Entity; (iii) any person or entity that acquires all (or substantially all) of the assets, stock or membership interests of Tenant or an Affiliated Entity; or (iv) any successor of Tenant or an Affiliated Entity by reason of a public offering (each of the scenarios described in clauses (i)–(iv) above, a “Tenant Affiliate”); (collectively, “Permitted Transferees”). Any sale, assignment, mortgage, transfer or subletting of this Lease or the Leased Premises or Common Area which is not to a Permitted Transferee or not otherwise in compliance with the provision of this Section 13 shall be void. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain the express prior written consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting, or relieve Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder, whether or not then accrued. The terms of this Section 13(b) are only applicable provided that:
(i) Tenant immediately notifies Landlord of any such Transfer; (ii) promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such Transfer; (iii) if reasonably requested by Landlord as a result of the financial status of the Tenant Affiliate assuming Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, have an affiliate of such Tenant Affiliate guarantee this Lease using Landlord’s standard guaranty form; (iv) if such Transfer is an assignment, Tenant Affiliate assumes in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and (v) such Transfer is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. “Control,” as used herein, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.
(c)If Landlord consents to any assignment or sublease by Tenant, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Lease and Tenant shall remain liable, jointly and severally and as a principal, and not as a guarantor or surety, under this Lease, to the same extent as though no assignment or sublease by Tenant had been made.
(d)Every sublease approved by Landlord or otherwise permitted under the terms of this Lease shall be evidenced by a written sublease (the “Sublease”) between Tenant and the subtenant (“Subtenant”). The Sublease shall comply with the following requirements: (i) the Sublease shall be subject to, and shall incorporate by reference, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except those terms and conditions relating to Base Rent, Additional Rent, and any other amount due under this Lease, and Subtenant shall acknowledge in the Sublease that it has reviewed and agreed to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease; (ii) Subtenant shall agree in the Sublease not to do, or fail to do, anything that would cause Tenant to violate any of its obligations under this Lease; (iii) Subtenant shall have no right to exercise any option to extend the Lease Term or any right of first refusal (or similar right) granted to Tenant in this Lease or any amendment hereto, and the Sublease shall require Tenant to agree that it shall neither exercise on behalf of, nor assign to, Subtenant any such option or right; (iv) the Subtenant shall be subject to any rules and regulations that affect this Lease, and shall not be permitted to use the Premises for any purpose not permitted by applicable law or which would subject the Property to increased risk of damage to property, injury to persons, or exposure to Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Leased Premises; and (v) the Sublease shall prohibit a sub-subletting of the Property or the assignment of the Sublease by Subtenant, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any sub-Sublease shall also be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.
(e)Other than an assignment to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to the terms of Section 13(b) above (in which event, this subparagraph (e) shall not be applicable), if an assignment or sublease is consented to by Landlord and the rental due and payable by an assignee or subtenant (or a combination of rent payable thereunder plus any other consideration directly or indirectly incident to the assignment or sublease) exceeds the Rent payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, 100% of such excess rental within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant from the assignee or subtenant, as the case may be. In such event, any rent received by Tenant from an assignee or subtenant and due to Landlord under this Subsection shall be held by Tenant in trust for Landlord, to be forwarded immediately to Landlord without offset or reduction at any time, and, upon election by Landlord, such rental shall be paid directly to Landlord and credited to any amounts owed by Tenant hereunder.
(f)If Tenant assigns or subleases this Lease, any option to renew this Lease or right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord. Any request for an assignment or sublease shall be accompanied by a minimum fee of [***] for Landlord’s administrative costs in connection with the processing of
the request. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for consent to an assignment or sublease by Tenant, including reasonable attorney fees, regardless of whether consent of Landlord is given to the assignment or sublease by Tenant.
14.Parking. Beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing until the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall be entitled to 210 parking stalls (the “Parking Spaces”), 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, allocated as follows:
(a)Initial Parking Spaces. Beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing until the completion of the Parking Structure (as defined below), the Parking Spaces will be allocated as follows: Landlord shall make available to Tenant [***] parking stalls in the surface parking lot to the north of the Building (the “North Lot”), and [***] parking stalls in the North Lot and/or on surface parking lots located within one (1) city block of the block the Building is located on.
(b)Structured Parking. Landlord plans to build a parking structure adjacent to the Building in the location depicted on Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Parking Structure”). Subject to extension for delays caused by Force Majeure Event, Landlord shall commence construction of the Parking Structure no later than October 1, 2020, and shall substantially complete the Parking Structure (to a condition to allow use of the same by Tenant and its employees) no later than December 31, 2022 (the “Parking Structure Outside Delivery Date”). Upon completion of the Parking Structure, Landlord shall make available to Tenant (i) 130 parking stalls in the Parking Structure, [***], and for the remainder of the Lease Term at a monthly rate of [***] for such stalls (such rate shall increase to the full market rate for such stall during any extension of the Lease Term); and (ii) [***] parking stalls in the North Lot at [***] during the initial Lease Term or any extension thereof.
(c)Parking Terms and Conditions. Tenant agrees to comply with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be made by Landlord from time to time in order to insure the proper operation of the Parking Structure and surface parking lots (collectively, the “parking facilities”), provided, that such rules and regulations shall be enforced in a non-discriminatory manner. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other neighboring tenants in the use of parking facilities. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to xxxx or otherwise ensure that Tenant has access to, and availability of, during Normal Business Hours, the parking stalls to which Tenant is entitled under this Lease. All vehicles parked in the parking facilities and the personal property therein shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, invitees and the users of such spaces and Landlord shall not be responsible for any injuries to any person nor any damage to any automobile, vehicle or other property that occurs in or about the parking areas. In addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder in the event of a default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to take such steps necessary to correct any failure to comply with the rules and regulations or the terms of this Section 14, including but not limited to policing and towing, and if Tenant, its agents, officers, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees are deemed by Landlord to be in breach of this Section 14 or such applicable rules and regulations set by Landlord in accordance with this Section 14, to charge to Tenant as Additional Rent that portion of the cost thereof which Landlord reasonably determines to be caused thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to Tenant to use any parking spaces is a license only and Landlord’s inability to make spaces available at any time due to a Force Majeure Event (so long as Landlord is using commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such Force Majeure Event) is not a breach by Landlord of its obligations hereunder.
(d)Failure to Deliver Parking Structure, In the event that Landlord fails to substantially complete and make the Parking Structure available to Tenant for Tenant’s use on or before the Parking Structure Outside Deliver Date (which shall be extended in the event of a Force Majeure Event), Tenant, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent in an amount equal to the sum of [***] of monthly Base Rent due for each subsequent month thereafter until the Parking Structure is substantially completed and made available to Tenant for Tenant’s use (so, for example, if Tenant substantially completes and makes the Parking Structure available to Tenant for Tenant’s use on February 10, 2022, Tenant shall be entitled to xxxxx [***] of the Base Rent due the months of January and February, 2022). In addition, during any such period of delay in substantially completing and making the Parking Structure available to Tenant for Tenant’s use, Landlord shall continue to provide Tenant with parking at no expense to Tenant in accordance with Section 14(a).
15.Default.
(a)The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of the Lease by Tenant:
(i)the abandonment of the Leased Premises by Tenant for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days (other than as a result of a Force Majeure Event or a remodel of the Leased Premises, which shall not exceed ninety (90) days every five (5) years);
(ii)any failure by Tenant to pay Rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, if the failure continues for five (5) days after written notice to Tenant, provided Landlord shall not be required to provide such notice more than one (1) time in any consecutive 12-month period;
(iii)any failure of Tenant to maintain the insurance as required in this Lease;
(iv)any failure to provide any document or instrument described in Section 22 of this Lease within the time period set forth in such Section;
(v)Tenant shall cause or allow any lien or other encumbrance of title to be filed or recorded against the Building and such lien or encumbrance is not removed or bonded within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered written notice to Tenant of such lien or encumbrance;
(vi)any other failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other obligation under this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than payment of any Rent, within thirty (30) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant specifying wherein Tenant has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within said period and diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure to completion; or
(vii)the making by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant or such guarantor of a petition to have Tenant or such guarantor adjudged a bankrupt or the filing of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or such guarantor, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure
of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
(b)Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by it hereunder unless and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation (provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such performance within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion).
(c)Notwithstanding any term or provision herein to the contrary, if (i) Tenant is not in default material default of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, (ii) Tenant strictly complies with the terms of this Section, and (iii) except in the event of actions required to be undertaken by Tenant in an emergency situation relating to Tenant’s business operations within the Leased Premises or that otherwise presents an immediate threat to the health or safety of Tenant or its employees or occupants, in which event no cure period shall exist, such default has not been cured by Landlord (or Landlord has not commenced the cure) within the time specified in Section 15 above (following the initial written notice from Tenant) or within fifteen (15) business days following a second written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of the default, then Tenant shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to cure such default for the account of the Landlord, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s invoice for any and all actual, reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses paid to cure such default. If the above conditions are satisfied, in the event of emergencies (i.e., where necessary to prevent injury to persons or material damage to property or to mitigate damages), Tenant may cure a default by Landlord before the expiration of the waiting period, but only after giving such written notice to Landlord (including notice by e-mail) as is practical under all of the circumstances. Notwithstanding the above, in the event Tenant has entered into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (or like instrument) (the “SNDA”) with the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, Tenant shall not exercise any self-help right or any of the other remedies provided above without first providing to such holder notice and an opportunity to cure as provided in the SNDA.
16.Remedies. In the event Tenant commits an act of default as set forth in Subsection 15(a) above beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord may exercise one or more of the following described remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease.
(a)Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect and shall have the right to collect Rent when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises with or without legal process and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s account, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all claims for damages by reason of such re-entry, as well as any and all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrants or proceedings by way of sequestration which Landlord may employ to recover said Rents. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for any brokers’ commissions, expenses of repairing and/or the cost of tenant improvements to the Leased Premises required by the reletting, attorney fees and costs and like costs. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Lease Term, and in no event shall Landlord be under any obligation to relet the Leased Premises; provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do so. On the dates such Rent is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the Rent due under this Lease, less the rent Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this Section 16 shall terminate the Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.
(b)Landlord may terminate this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to collect an amount equal to: reasonable attorney fees and costs in connection with recovering the Leased Premises; all reasonable costs and charges for the care of the Leased Premises while vacant; all repair and tenant improvement costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the Leased Premises for a new tenant; all past due Rent which is unpaid, plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined below) [***]. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant’s sole remedy for a default of this Lease by Landlord shall be an action for damages, injunction or specific performance; Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease on account of any breach or default by Landlord.
Landlord may avail itself of these as well as any other remedies or damages allowed by law. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord provided herein or elsewhere by law or in equity shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Should any of these remedies, or any portion thereof, not be permitted by applicable law, then such remedy or portion thereof shall be considered deleted and unenforceable, and the remaining remedies or portions thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.
17.Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall observe faithfully and comply with the rules and regulations set forth on Addendum “A” attached to this Lease and made a part hereof, and such other rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably adopt, provided that all such rules and regulations shall apply equally to all similarly situated tenants and enforced in a non-discriminatory manner. By the signing of this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has read and has agreed to comply with such rules and regulations.
18.Right of Access. Subject to Section 7(a) above, Landlord and its agents shall, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, have free access to the Leased Premises during all reasonable hours for the purpose of inspection, to make reasonable repairs as required hereunder (provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation as a result of such examination to make any repairs other than expressly set forth herein), and to exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, investors or during the last nine (9) month of the Lease Term, other prospective tenants.
19.End of Term.
(a)At the termination or expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in as good condition and repair as at the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will leave the Leased Premises broom-clean.
(b)If Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of this Lease without the written permission of Landlord, such holding over shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent for the period of its old over in an amount equal to 125% of Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the expiration of this Lease together with Additional Rent. Such tenancy at sufferance shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein; provided, however, in no event shall any renewal or expansion option, option to purchase, or other similar right or option contained in this Lease or any amendment hereto be deemed applicable to any such tenancy at sufferance. Nothing contained in this Section 19(b) shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 19(c) shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorney fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
20.Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises or in the real property of which the Leased Premises are a part, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord accruing from and after the date of such transfer.
21.Estoppel Certificates; Attornment and Non-Disturbance.
(a)Within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall deliver, executed in recordable form, a declaration to any person designated by Landlord stating the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of this Lease and certifying that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writings as shall be stated); (ii) all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been satisfied (stating exceptions, if any); (iii) no defenses, credits or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord exist (or stating those claimed); (iv) the sum of advance Rent, if any, paid by Tenant; (v) the date to which Rent has been paid; (vi) the amount of the Security Deposit held by Landlord; and (vii) such other information as Landlord reasonably requires. Persons receiving such statements of Tenant shall be entitled to rely upon them. If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord within such fifteen (15) business day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month’s Base Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts.
(b)This Lease is and shall continue to be subordinate to any Mortgage now existing or hereafter placed on the Landlord’s interest in the Property by a lienholder; provided, however, such subordination is subject to and conditioned upon Landlord delivering an SNDA to Tenant. Within fifteen (15) business days of a request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute an SNDA in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant and the holder of the Mortgage, from time to time, in favor of such holder of the Mortgage. If elected by the holder of a Mortgage, this Lease shall be superior to such Mortgage, in which case Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument confirming the same. Tenant’s obligation to subordinate this Lease to the lien of any future loan or ground lease will be conditioned on receipt of an SNDA.
(c)Any sale, assignment, or transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Premises including any such disposition resulting from Landlord’s default under a Mortgage, shall be subject to this Lease. Tenant shall attorn to Landlord’s successor and assigns, including a lender or its nominee, and shall recognize such successor or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law to the contrary or absence of privity of contract.
(d)In the event of any act or omission by Landlord under this Lease which would give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, if any, Tenant will not exercise any such right until: (A) it has given written notice (by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid) of such act or omission to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Land (whose names and addresses Landlord agrees will be furnished to Tenant on request); and (B) any such holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on
the Property shall, following the giving of such notice, have failed with reasonable diligence to commence and to pursue reasonable action to remedy such act or omission.
22.Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by: (1) hand delivery and shall be deemed given on the date of delivery; (2) registered or certified mail and shall be deemed given the third day following the date of mailing; or (3) overnight delivery by a nationally recognized courier service and shall be deemed given the following day. All notices to Tenant shall be addressed to Tenant at the Leased Premises, with a copy to the following:

23.Environmental Covenants.
(a)Definitions.
(i)As used in this Lease, the term “Hazardous Materials” means (i) any substance or material that is included within the definitions of “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials,” “toxic substances,” “pollutant,” “contaminant,” “hazardous waste,” or “solid waste” in any Environmental Law; (ii) petroleum or petroleum derivatives, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, all forms of natural gas, and petroleum products or by-products or waste; (iii) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s); (iv) asbestos and asbestos containing materials (whether friable or non-friable); (v) lead and lead based paint or other lead containing materials (whether friable or non-friable); (vi) urea formaldehyde; (vii) microbiological pollutants; (viii) batteries or liquid solvents or similar chemicals; (ix) radon gas; and (x) mildew, fungus, mold, bacteria and/or other organic spore material.
(ii)As used in this Lease, the term “Environmental Laws” means all statutes, terms, conditions, limitations, restrictions, standards, prohibitions, obligations,
schedules, plans and timetables that are contained in or promulgated pursuant to any federal, state or local laws (including rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, judgments, orders, decrees, contracts, permits, stipulations, injunctions, the common law, court opinions, and demand or notice letters issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder), relating to pollution or the protection of the environment, including laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of Hazardous Materials into ambient air, surface water, ground water or lands or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, including, but not limited to, the: Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (XXXX), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.; Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.; Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.; Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.; Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.; and the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300f et seq. “Environmental Laws” shall include any statutory or common law that has developed or develops in the future regarding mold, fungus, microbiological pollutants, mildew, bacteria and/or other organic spore material. “Environmental Laws” shall not include laws relating to industrial hygiene or worker safety, except to the extent that such laws address asbestos and asbestos containing materials (whether friable or non-friable) or lead and lead based paint or other lead containing materials.
(b)Tenant will not permit Hazardous Materials to be present in, on or about the Leased Premises or Project, except for normal quantities of cleaning and other business supplies customarily used and stored in an office and will comply with all Environmental Laws relating to the use, storage or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that so long as the same complies with all applicable laws, codes, regulations or ordinances, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws, Tenant’s testing of products, including wood fired grills and resulting smoke emissions therefrom, will not constitute a violation of this Section or this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in the event Landlord or Tenant receive reasonable complaints from other tenants or occupants of the Project concerning Tenant’s product testing, including, without limitation, the smoke emissions, noise or other consequences thereof, Tenant agrees to take commercially reasonable steps to address such complaints, including, without limitation, coordinating future product testing with Landlord in an effort to address such complaints and minimize any nuisance resulting from such product testing. Landlord shall have no duty or obligation to remove any hazardous substances, wastes or materials brought into the Leased Premises by Tenant. If Tenant breaches the foregoing, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such breach and shall immediately, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, undertake remedial action in accordance with all Environmental Laws; provided, however, Landlord may properly require its consent to the selection of the contractors and other professionals involved in the inspection, testing and removal or remediation activities, the manner and method for performance of such activities and such other matters as may be reasonably required or requested by Landlord for the safety of and continued use of the Building and the visitors thereof.
(c)If Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Leased Premises or Common Area results in a release, discharge or disposal of Hazardous Materials in, on, at, under, or emanating from, the Building or Common Area, Tenant shall promptly investigate, clean up, remove or remediate such Hazardous Materials in full compliance with the requirements of (A) all Environmental Laws and (B) any governmental agency or authority responsible for the enforcement of any Environmental Laws.
(d)Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for the purposes of inspection and testing to determine whether there exists on the Leased Premises any Hazardous Materials or other condition or activity that is in violation of the requirements of this Lease or of any Environmental Laws. The right granted to Landlord herein
shall not create a duty on Landlord’s part to inspect the Leased Premises, or liability on the part of Landlord for Tenant’s use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.
(e) Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease free of Hazardous Materials due to Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises. Tenant’s obligations and liabilities pursuant to this Section 23 shall be in addition to any other surrender requirements in this Lease and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Landlord determines that the condition of all or any portion of the Building is not in compliance with this Section 23 at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease due to the business or activities of Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, then, at Landlord’s election, Landlord may require Tenant to hold over possession of the Leased Premises until Tenant has satisfied its obligations pursuant to this Section 23. The burden of proof hereunder shall be upon Tenant. For purposes hereof, the term “normal wear and tear” shall not include any deterioration in the condition or diminution in value of any portion of the Leased Premises or the Building in any manner whatsoever related directly or indirectly, to Hazardous Materials. Any such holdover by Tenant will not be terminable by Tenant prior to Landlord’s determination that Tenant has satisfied its obligations pursuant to this Section 23.
(f)Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, losses (including loss in value of the Leased Premises, Building or Common Area, damages due to loss or restriction of rentable or usable space, and damages due to any adverse impact on marketing of the Leased Premises or the Building, and any and all sums paid for settlement of claims), liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’, consultants’, and experts’ fees) incurred by Landlord during or after the Lease Term and attributable to (i) any Hazardous Materials introduced, in, on, under or about the Leased Premises, Building or Common Area by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, or (ii) Tenant’s breach of any provision of this Section 23. This indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all costs incurred by Landlord due to any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal or restoration mandated by a federal, state or local agency or political subdivision.
(g)Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that upon the delivery of the Leased Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Improvements completed, to Landlord’s then actual knowledge, the Leased Premises will be free of any Hazardous Materials. For purposes of this Lease, “Landlord’s actual knowledge” shall be deemed to mean the actual knowledge (as opposed to implied, constructive or imputed) of the officers of Landlord having direct operational responsibility for the Project, with the express limitations and qualifications that the knowledge of any contractor or consultant shall not be imputed to Landlord and none of such officers has made any special investigation or inquiry, and none of such officers has any duty or obligation of diligent investigations or inquiry, or any other duty or obligation, to acquire or to attempt to acquire information beyond or in addition to the current actual knowledge of such persons.
(h)Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, losses (including any and all sums paid for settlement of claims), liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’, consultants’, and experts’ fees) incurred by Tenant during or after the Lease Term as a result (directly or indirectly) of any breach of Landlord’s representation set forth in Section 23(g) above. This indemnity shall include, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, monitoring or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the termination of this Lease.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Tenant shall have no liability of any kind to Landlord (including any remediation costs) for (a) any pre-existing Hazardous Materials located at the Leased Premises as of the date of this Lease (a “Pre-Existing Environmental Condition”), and (b) Hazardous Materials at the Leased Premises resulting from the activities or negligence of Landlord or its successors, assigns, officers, members, managers, employees, agents, contractors, or other parties under the supervision or control of Landlord (collectively, the “Landlord Group”) during the Lease Term.
(j)The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
24.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)As the operation and creation of the Building and Landlord's business model contains significant intellectual property and because the ongoing methods of Landlord's operation are not typical, it is crucial that all parties adhere to a strict policy of non-disclosure and confidentiality. Furthermore, it is understood that terms of leases differ based on need, use, etc. As such, Tenant agrees to keep confidential the terms of this Lease, and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than its financial, legal and space planning consultants and any proposed lenders, assignees or subtenants, provided that Tenant shall inform such persons of the confidentiality of the terms of this Lease and shall obtain their agreement to abide by the confidentiality provisions of this Section prior to such disclosure. This includes, but is not limited to the Lease Term, Base Rent rates, special provisions, practices, allowances, etc.
(b)This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any and all future covenants, conditions or restrictions currently or hereafter recorded against the property by Landlord or its successors or assigns.
(c)In the event of any legal proceeding between Tenant and Landlord to enforce any provision of this Lease or any right of either party hereto, the unsuccessful party to such legal proceeding shall pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred therein. To the extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the right to a jury trial in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Lease.
(d)Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease.
(e)The captions contained in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. The word “Landlord” means the owner of the Building from time to time, and in the event of any sale, conveyance or lease of the Building, the transferring Landlord shall be released from all covenants and conditions as Landlord hereunder and without further agreement between the parties.
(f)This Lease, any Addenda and the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein contain all of the agreements of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.
(g)So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease after the expiration of any notice and cure period provided in this Lease, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the
Leased Premises for the entire Lease Term hereof, subject to all the provisions of this Lease, as against persons claiming by, through, or under Landlord.

Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant, whether or not similar to the act so consented to or approved. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Leased Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

In addition, any amounts payable to Landlord under this Lease, if not paid in full on or before the due date thereof, shall bear interest on the unpaid balance at an interest rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum interest rate permitted by law or (b) five percent (5%) above the rate publicly announced by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (or if Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. ceases to exist, the largest bank, by deposit, with branch operations in the State of Utah) (“Bank”) as its “Reference Rate”. If the use of the announced Reference Rate is discontinued by the Bank, then the term Reference Rate shall mean the announced rate charged by the Bank which is, from time to time, substituted for the Reference Rate. Landlord shall execute a ‘zero tolerance’ policy and recommends early payment or payment by regularly scheduled electronic method to avoid such situations.

Further, no recreational or medical marijuana may be grown or consumed on the Leased Premises or in the Building by Tenant or its employees, guests or invitees.
(n)If Tenant is a corporation or other legal entity, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said entity represents and warrants that (i) he/she is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity in accordance with its bylaws or operating agreements; (ii) this Lease is binding upon said corporation or entity; and (iii) a resolution to that effect in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord shall be provided promptly upon request.
(o)Landlord’s partners, shareholders, or members, as the case may be, shall have no personal liability with respect to any provision of this Lease, or any obligation or liability arising in connection therewith. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s equity in the Building and Land in which the Leased Premises is located, for the satisfaction of any remedies of Tenant in the event of a breach by the Landlord of any of its obligations.
(p)Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of installation and maintenance of any high speed cable or fiber optic that Tenant requires in the Leased Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to use the Tenant Allowance towards the cost of the same. Landlord shall provide reasonable access to the Building’s electrical lines, feeders, risers, wiring and other machinery to enable Tenant to install high speed cable or fiber optic to serve its intended purpose, if any. All such cabling installed by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval and shall be tagged by Tenant at their point of entry into the Building, at the terminal end of the cable and in the riser closet indicating the type of cable, the Tenant’s name and the service provided. Installation of cabling and/or low voltage wiring shall be performed by vendors reasonably approved by Landlord in advance of working in the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for the removal of such cabling and fiber optic at the termination or expiration of the Lease Term or the early termination of the Tenant’s right to occupy the Leased Premises. In the event Tenant fails to remove such cabling as set forth herein, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, remove such cabling, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

The preceding sentence shall not excuse the failure of Tenant to pay Rent or other sums payable hereunder. It is expressly agreed that the party claiming a Force Majeure Event shall use commercially practicable efforts to eliminate or reduce the effect of such adverse condition on the covenants of such party contained herein.

All such policies of insurance must contain a provision requiring the insurer to give Tenant thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance.
