and not interfere with Landlord and its agents and contractors in doing its
work

occupancy shall cause or create an imminent likelihood of such disharmony or
interference, Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, shall have the
right to suspend such access upon twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice to
Tenant until such time as Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, has remedied such

covenant to pay Rent.

list” items which the parties agree are to be corrected by Landlord in
connection with the Premises. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts
to complete and/or repair such “punch list” items within thirty (30) days after
executing the applicable Acceptance Agreement. Tenant’s commencement
of business operations from and in any part of the Premises shall be deemed
to
be an acceptance by Tenant of the Improvements, except for the agreed upon
punch
list items. Tenant agrees that Tenant is familiar with the condition
of the Premises, and Tenant hereby accepts the foregoing on an “AS-IS,”
“WHERE-IS” basis except to the extent of Landlord’s repair and maintenance
obligations hereunder. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made
any representation as to the condition of the foregoing or the suitability
of
the foregoing for Tenant’s intended use, except as may be herein expressly set
forth. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own
inspection of the foregoing. Landlord shall not be obligated to make
any repairs, replacements or improvements (whether structural or otherwise)
of
any kind or nature to the foregoing in connection with, or in consideration
of,
this Lease, except (a) as set forth herein and (b) with respect to the

issued in connection with any of the Improvements or the Premises.

United States of America. Such payments shall be made at Landlord’s
Address or at such other place as Landlord shall designate from time to
time. Tenant’s agreements to lease the Premises and pay Base Rent,
Additional Rent and all other sums payable under this Lease are independent
of

any and all Lease Taxes simultaneously with its payment of Base Rent and shall
be solely responsible for all such Lease Taxes regardless of against whom the
same are assessed.

6.4.3 Operations. Tenant
shall not cause or suffer or permit to occur in, on or under the Premises any
generation, use, manufacturing, refining, transportation, emission, release,
treatment, storage, disposal, presence or handling of Hazardous Substances,
except that limited quantities of Hazardous Substances may be used, handled
or
stored on the Premises, provided such is incident to and reasonably necessary
for the maintenance of the Premises and Tenant’s operations for the Permitted
Use and is in compliance with all Environmental Statutes and all other
applicable governmental requirements. Should a release of any
Hazardous Substance occur at the Premises or the Property as the result of
the
acts or omissions of Tenant and/or any of the Tenant Parties, Tenant shall
immediately contain, remove and dispose of, off the Premises or the Property,
such Hazardous Substances and any material that was contaminated by the release,

comply with all Environmental Statutes. Tenant shall not install or
cause the installation of any above ground or underground storage tank at the
Premises.

or
written notice as Landlord is able to under the circumstances), Tenant agrees
to
permit Landlord and its authorized representatives to enter, inspect and assess
the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of determining Tenant’s
compliance with the provisions of this Section. Such inspections and
assessments may include obtaining samples and performing tests of soil, surface
water, groundwater or other media.
6.4.5 Indemnification. Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby agrees to
indemnify and to hold harmless Landlord and its officers, directors,
shareholders, partners and principals of, from and against any and all expense,
loss, cost, claim, damage, penalty, fine, or liability of any kind or nature
suffered by Landlord by reason of the presence or release of Hazardous
Substances at or from the Premises or the Property to the extent caused by
the
acts or omissions of Tenant or the Tenant Parties or Tenant’s breach of any of
the provisions of this Section 6, including
without limitation: (A) any and all expenses that Landlord may incur

Substance at or from the Premises or the Property, (C) any and all costs for
which Landlord may be liable to any governmental agency for studying, assessing,

presence or release of any Hazardous Substance at or from the Premises or the
Property, (D) any and all fines or penalties assessed, or threatened to be
assessed, upon Landlord by reason of a failure of Tenant to comply with any
obligations, covenants or conditions set forth in this Section, and (E) any

all reasonable legal fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with
any
of the foregoing. Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this
Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 6.4, Tenant shall have no liability to

the
acts or omissions of any party other than Tenant and the Tenant
Parties.
6.5 Common

shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas in common with other
persons approved by Landlord during the Term, subject to reasonable rules and
regulations uniformly established by Landlord and the provisions of this
Lease.
6.5.2 Alterations Landlord
reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, without the consent
of or
liability to Tenant to (i) make alterations or additions to
the Property and the Common Areas, to change, add to, eliminate or
reduce the extent, size, shape, number or configuration of any aspect of the
Property and Common Areas provided such alterations or additions do not
materially and adversely affect the use of the Common Areas by Tenant, (ii)
close to the general public all or any portion of the Premises or the Property
to the extent and for the period necessary to avoid any dedication to the
public, (iii) effect any repairs or further construction, (iv) change the
arrangement, character, use or location of entrances or passageways, doors
and
doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, landscaping, toilets, mechanical,

Common Areas or other parts of the Premises or the Property provided such
alterations or additions do not materially and adversely affect the use of
the
Common Areas by Tenant, and (v) change the name, number or designation by which
the Property is commonly known; provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to limit any disruption of Tenant’s use of the Premises in connection
with Landlord’s actions undertaken pursuant to this Section.
7. Alterations
and Tenant’s Property.
7.1 Alterations
Defined.
7.1.1 Tenant
shall not make or suffer or allow to be made any alterations, additions or
improvements in or to the Premises (collectively,
“Alterations”) without first obtaining Landlord’s written
consent based on detailed plans and specifications submitted by Tenant; provided
Landlord’s consent will not be required if (a) the proposed Alterations will not
affect the structure or the mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing or life
safety systems of the Building (collectively, “Building
Systems”) and (b) the total cost to acquire and install the proposed
Alterations will be no more than (i) $10,000.00 in any one instance and
(ii) $25,000.00 in the aggregate during any calendar year. In
all other instances where Landlord’s consent is so required, it may be granted
or withheld by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. In all events,
Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to commencing Alterations other than de
minimis Alterations.
7.1.2 Tenant
agrees that all such work (regardless of whether Landlord’s consent is required)
shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in accordance with the plans
and specifications approved by Landlord and in a good and workmanlike manner,
that the structural integrity of the Building shall not be impaired, and that
no
liens shall attach to all or any part of the Property by reason
thereof. Tenant shall obtain, at its sole expense, all permits
required for such work.
7.2 Removal
of Property. All Alterations shall become the property
of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. However movable equipment, trade fixtures,
personal property, furniture, or any other items paid for by Tenant that can
be
removed without material harm to the Improvements will remain Tenant’s property
(collectively, “Tenant Owned Property”) shall not become the
property of Landlord but shall be removed by Tenant upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. All Tenant Owned Property shall be
removed from the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense at the expiration or
sooner termination of this Lease. When granting consent for any
Alterations that require Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall indicate whether it
will require the removal of those Alterations at the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease. Prior to making any Alterations not
requiring Landlord’s consent, Tenant may request that Landlord notify Tenant
whether Landlord requires Tenant to remove that Alteration prior to expiration
or earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall remove those
Alterations that Landlord requested be removed under the prior two sentences
at
the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall
repair at its sole cost and expense all damage caused to the Premises or the
Building by removal of any Alterations, its signage or Tenant Owned
Property. Landlord may remove any Tenant Owned Property or
Alterations that Tenant is required but fails to remove at the expiration or
earlier termination of the Lease and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable
cost of removal. Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
8. Repairs
and Other Work.
8.1 Tenant’s
Obligations.
8.1.1 Subject
to the terms of Section 8.1.2, Tenant
shall maintain in good,
clean and sanitary order and condition the Premises and every non-structural
part thereof, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
maintenance, repair, and replacement, as necessary, of all plumbing,
refrigeration, electrical, lighting facilities and equipment within the
Premises, fixtures, interior walls, the inside of exterior walls, ceilings,
decking, floors, windows, doors, plate glass and skylights located within the
Premises, and signs (except Landlord’s signs, if any) located on the
Premises.
8.1.2 Tenant
will not overload the electrical wiring serving the Premises or within the
Premises, and will install at its expense, subject to the provisions of this
Lease, any additional electrical wiring which may be required in connection
with
Tenant’s apparatus.
8.1.3 Tenant
will repair, at its expense, any damage to the Premises, or to the Property,
arising out of Tenant’s use or occupancy thereof, including damage caused by
bringing into the Premises any property for Tenant’s use or by the installation
or removal of such property, unless caused by Landlord, its agents, employees,
or contractors; and in default of such repairs by Tenant, Landlord may make
the
same and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, upon Landlord’s demand, as Additional
Rent, the cost thereof.
8.2 Conditions
Applicable to Repairs and Other Work. All repairs,
replacements and reconstruction (including, without limitation, all Alterations)
made by or on behalf of Tenant shall be made and performed: (a) at Tenant’s cost
and expense and at such time and in such manner as Landlord may reasonably
designate, (b) by contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord,
(c)
at least equal in quality of materials and workmanship to the original work
or
installation, (d) in accordance with such reasonable requirements as Landlord
may impose with respect to insurance to be obtained by Tenant in connection
with
the proposed work, and (e) in accordance with all applicable laws and
regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises,
and (f) Tenant shall provide Landlord with as built drawings of such
Alterations.
8.3 Landlord’s
Obligations. Landlord shall be responsible (subject to
reimbursement through Operating Expenses pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.1) for
the performance of all repair, maintenance and replacement of all heating,
ventilating and air conditioning systems and equipment, all structural elements,
roof and exterior walls of the Building, except to the extent such is part
of
any Alterations; provided, if any such work is required as a result of the
negligence or misconduct of Tenant or the misuse of the Premises or the Property
by Tenant , Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs paid or
incurred by Landlord for such work upon demand as Additional
Rent. Landlord shall not be liable for, and there shall be no
abatement of Rent with respect to, any injury to or interference with Tenant’s
business arising from any repairs, maintenance, alteration or improvement in
or
to any portion of the Property, including, without limitation, the Premises,
or
in or to the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein.
9. Liens. Tenant
shall keep the Premises and the Property free from any liens arising out of
any
work performed or material furnished to or for the Premises by or for
Tenant. If Tenant shall not, within thirty (30) days following notice
of the imposition of any such lien, cause same to be released of record by
payment or posting of a bond satisfactory to Landlord, Landlord, in
addition to all other remedies provided under this Lease and by law, shall
have
the right (but not the obligation) to cause the lien to be released by such
means as Landlord shall deem proper, including, without limitation, payment
of
the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums reasonably paid by
Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall be
considered Additional Rent and shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days
after receipt of written demand.
10. Subordination. Provided
Tenant is provided with a reasonable and customary subordination, nondisturbance
and attornment agreement (“SNDA”), this Lease shall be subject
and subordinate at all times to (a) all ground leases or underlying leases
that
may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Property or any portion
thereof, (b) the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security
instrument that may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which
the Property or any portion thereof, any ground leases or underlying leases,
or
Landlord’s interest or estate therein is specified as security, and (c) all
modifications, renewals, supplements, consolidations and replacements
thereof. If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any
reason or any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument is foreclosed
or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant,
notwithstanding any subordination, shall attorn to and become the tenant of
the
successor in interest to Landlord at the option of such successor in
interest. Within ten (10) days following request by
Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably required to
effectuate the foregoing subordination or such other reasonable and customary
SNDA submitted by Landlord to Tenant or to make this Lease prior to the lien
of
any mortgage, deed of trust or underlying lease, as the case may
be.
11. Inability
to Perform. If, by reason of acts of God, governmental
restrictions or failure to act, including, but not limited to, the failure
to
issue permits, strikes, labor disturbances, shortages of materials or supplies
or any other cause or event beyond Landlord’s or Tenant’s reasonable control
(collectively, “Force Majeure Events”), Landlord or Tenant is
unable to furnish or is delayed in furnishing any utility or service required
to
be furnished by either party under the provisions of this Lease, or either
party
hereto is unable to perform or make or is delayed in performing or making any
installations, decorations, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements
required to be performed or made under this Lease, no such inability or delay
shall impose any liability upon such non-performing party or provide the other
party with any right to offset, deduction or abatement of rent by reason of
inconvenience or annoyance to such other party, or otherwise. The
terms of this Section 11 shall not be
applicable to or excuse any failing on the part of Tenant to satisfy Tenant’s
obligations to pay Rent or other required payments to Landlord.
12. Destruction.
12.1 Repair. Subject
to the provisions of Sections 12.2,
12.3 and
12.4
below, if any portion
of the Building is damaged by fire, earthquake, flood or other casualty,
Landlord shall proceed immediately to make such repairs in accordance with
Section 12.4.
12.2 Tenant’s
Right to Terminate. If such damage causes all or any
material portion of the Premises to be untenantable by Tenant and, in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord and Tenant, such damage cannot be repaired within
twelve (12) months after the date of the event causing such damage (under a
normal construction schedule not requiring the payment of overtime or premium)
or Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivery of written notice to Landlord
within, as applicable, (i) thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord’s
opinion is delivered to Tenant. Upon termination, Rent shall be
apportioned as of the date of the damage and, provided Tenant is not in default,
all prepaid Rent shall be repaid to Tenant.
12.3 Landlord’s
Right to Terminate. If (i) the cost to repair damage to
or destruction of the Property exceeds 50% of replacement cost of the Building
and other improvements on the Property for a casualty of the type covered by
the
insurance required to be carried under Section
13.5, or (ii) if the Premises is damaged by
a casualty
not of the type covered by the insurance required to be carried under
Section 13.5 and the amount by which the
cost to repair such damage exceeds available insurance proceeds, if any, is
greater than the replacement cost of the Building and other improvements on
the
Property, or (iii) such damage cannot be repaired within twelve (12) months
after the casualty (under a normal construction schedule not requiring the
payment of overtime or premium), Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivery
of written notice to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the date of the
casualty. Upon termination, Rent shall be apportioned as of the date
of the damage and all prepaid Rent shall be repaid to Tenant (less the amount
necessary to cure any monetary default of Tenant under this Lease existing
as of
the date of termination).
12.4 Extent
of Repair Obligations. If this Lease is not terminated,
Landlord’s repair obligation shall extend to the structure of the Building and
all improvements (except those constructed or installed by Tenant, if any and
the Tenant Owned Property) in the Premises at the date possession of the
Premises was delivered to Tenant, and Tenant shall repair all other portions
of
the Premises (including, without limitation, Alterations and Tenant Owned
Property). All such repairs shall be performed in a good and
workmanlike manner, with due diligence, and shall restore the items repaired
to
substantially the same usefulness and construction as existed immediately before
the damage. All work by Tenant shall be performed in accordance with
the requirements of Section 8.2
above. In the event of any termination of this Lease, the proceeds
from any insurance paid by reason of damage to or destruction of the Property
or
any portion thereof, or any other element, component or property insured by
Landlord (exclusive of proceeds for damage to Tenant Owned Property), shall
belong to and be paid to Landlord. Proceeds for damage to Tenant Owned Property
shall belong to and be paid to Tenant.
12.5 Adjustment
of Rent. If a casualty renders all or part of the
Premises untenantable, Rent shall proportionately xxxxx commencing on the date
of the casualty and ending when the Premises are delivered to Tenant with
Landlord’s restoration obligation substantially complete. The extent
of the abatement shall be based upon the portion of the Premises rendered
untenantable, inaccessible or unfit for use in a reasonable business manner
for
the purposes stated in this Lease.
12.6 Mutual
Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant mutually waive their respective
rights of recovery against each other and each other’s officers, directors,
constituent partners, agents and employees, and Tenant waives such rights
against each lessor under any ground or underlying lease and each lender under
any mortgage or deed of trust or other lien encumbering the Property or any
portion thereof or interest therein, to the extent any loss is or would be
covered by fire, extended coverage, and other property insurance policies
required to be carried under this Lease and the rights of the insurance carriers
of such policy or policies to be subrogated to the rights of the insured under
the applicable policy. Each party shall cause its insurance policy to
be endorsed to evidence compliance with such waiver.
13. Insurance.
13.1 Insurance
on Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall procure at its cost
and expense and keep in effect during the Term insurance coverage for all risks
of physical loss or damage insuring the full replacement value of Alterations,
Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, plate glass, signs and all
other items of Tenant Owned Property and other personal property of
Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or damages of any
nature whatsoever to persons or property caused by explosion, fire, theft or
breakage, vandalism, falling plaster, by sprinkler, drainage or plumbing
systems, or air conditioning equipment, by the interruption of any public
utility or service, by steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or other substances
leaking, issuing or flowing into any part of the Premises, by natural
occurrence, acts of the public enemy, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court
order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority, or by anything
done or omitted to be done by any tenant, occupant or person in the Building,
it
being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining appropriate
insurance to protect its interests.
13.2 Tenant’s
Liability Insurance. Tenant shall procure at its cost
and expense and maintain throughout the Term comprehensive commercial general
liability insurance applicable to the Premises with a minimum combined single
limit of liability of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), statutory worker’s
compensation insurance, and employer’s liability insurance with a Five Hundred
Thousand Dollar ($500,000) minimum limit covering all of Tenant’s
employees. Such liability insurance shall include, without
limitation, products and completed operations liability insurance, fire and
legal liability insurance, and such other coverage as Landlord may reasonably
require from time to time.
13.3 Form
of Policies. Tenant’s insurance shall be issued by
companies authorized to do business in the State of Arizona. Tenant
shall have the right to provide insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies
obtained by Tenant if the blanket policies expressly afford coverage required
by
this Section 13. All insurance
policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease (except for worker’s
compensation insurance) shall (i) name Landlord, and any lender of Landlord
designated by Landlord, as additional insureds, (ii) as to liability coverages,
be written on an “occurrence” basis, and (iii) contain a provision that no act
or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurer to
pay
the amount of any loss sustained. Tenant shall provide Landlord with
no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or change
in the insurance coverages required hereunder. Each such policy shall
contain a provision that such policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall
be
primary and non-contributing with respect to any policies carried by
Landlord. Tenant shall deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence of
such insurance to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date, and thereafter
at
least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates of expiring
policies. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
copies of such policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such
insurance expires without having been renewed by Tenant, Landlord shall have
the
option in addition to Landlord’s other remedies to procure such insurance for
the account of Tenant immediately and without notice to Tenant, and the cost
thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent. The limits of
the insurance required under this Lease shall not limit the liability of
Tenant.
13.4 Compliance
with Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall not do
anything, or suffer or permit anything to be done, in or about the Premises
that
shall invalidate or be in conflict with the provisions of any fire or other
insurance policies covering the Building. Tenant, at Tenant’s
expense, shall comply with, and shall cause all occupants of the Premises to
comply with, all applicable customary rules, orders, regulations or requirements
of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body.
13.5 Landlord’s
Insurance. Landlord will purchase and maintain a
standard policy of “all risk” insurance with customary exclusions covering the
Building in the full replacement cost of the Building and rent loss
insurance. Landlord will purchase and maintain broad form commercial
general liability insurance with a minimum combined single limit of liability
of
at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), written by companies authorized
to do
business in the State of Arizona. All costs of insurance carried by
Landlord and referred to in this Section or otherwise will constitute Operating
Expenses.
14. Eminent
Domain.
14.1 Effect
of Taking. If all of the Premises is condemned or taken
in any permanent manner before or during the Term for any public or quasi-public
use, or any permanent transfer of the Premises is made in avoidance of an
exercise of the power of eminent domain (each of which events shall be referred
to as a “taking”), this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of
the vesting of title as a result of such taking. If a part of the
Premises is so taken, this Lease shall automatically terminate as to the portion
of the Premises so taken as of the date of the vesting of title as a result
of
such taking. If such portion of the Property is taken as to render
the balance of the Premises unusable by Tenant for the Permitted Use, as
reasonably determined by Tenant and Landlord, this Lease may be terminated
by
Landlord or Tenant, as of the date of the vesting of title as a result of such
taking, by written notice to the other party given within sixty (60) days
following notice to Landlord of the date on which said vesting will
occur. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of any taking,
Landlord shall restore the Building to an architecturally whole unit; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend on such restoration
more
than the amount of condemnation proceeds actually received by
Landlord.
14.2 Award. Landlord
shall be entitled to the entire award for any taking, including, without
limitation, any award made for the value of the leasehold estate created by
this
Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be
apportioned.
14.3 Adjustment
of Rent. In the event of a partial taking that does not
result in a termination of this Lease as to the entire Premises, Base Rent
and
Additional Rent shall be equitably adjusted in relation to the portions of
the
Premises and Building taken or rendered unusable by such taking.
14.4 Temporary
Taking. If all or any portion of the Premises is taken
for a limited period of time before or during the Term, this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect; provided, however, that Rent shall xxxxx during such
limited period in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken by such
taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made
in connection with any such temporary taking; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require
Tenant to assign to Landlord any separate award made to Tenant for its
relocation expenses, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging
to
Tenant, the unamortized value of improvements made or paid for by Tenant or
the
interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business. Any temporary taking
of all or a portion of the Premises which continues for six (6) months shall
be
deemed a permanent taking of the Premises or such portion.
15. Assignment;
Subleasing.
15.1 Consent
Required. Neither Tenant nor any sublessee or assignee
of Tenant, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, shall
sell, assign, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer or hypothecate all or
any
part of the Premises or Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder (each such act is
referred to as an “Assignment”), or sublet the Premises or any
portion thereof or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than
Tenant (each such act is referred to as a “Sublease”), without
Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance. In the case of any
proposed Sublease or Assignment, Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Any Assignment or Sublease that is not in
compliance with this Section 15 shall be void
and, at the option of Landlord, shall constitute a material default by Tenant
under this Lease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from a proposed
assignee, sublessee or occupant of the Premises shall not constitute consent
to
such assignment of sublease by Landlord. Fifty percent (50%) of the
Excess Assignment Consideration which is attributable to this Lease in
connection with any Assignment, and fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Sublease
Rent, shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent. The right to
such amounts is expressly reserved from the grant of Tenant’s leasehold estate
for the benefit of Landlord.
15.2 Notice. Any
request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to a specific Assignment or Sublease
shall include (a) the name of the proposed assignee, sublessee or occupant,
(b)
the nature of the proposed assignee’s sublessee’s or occupant’s business to be
carried on in the Premises, (c) a copy of the proposed Assignment or Sublease,
and (d) such financial information (in the event of an Assignment) and such
other information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed
assignee, sublessee or occupant or its business. Landlord shall
respond in writing, stating the reasons for any disapproval, within fifteen
(15)
business days after receipt of all information reasonably necessary to evaluate
the proposed Assignment or Sublease.
15.3 No
Release. No consent by Landlord to any Assignment or
Sublease by Tenant, and no specification in this Lease of a right of Tenant’s to
make any Assignment or Sublease, shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to
be
performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether arising before or after (a) the
Assignment or Sublease or (b) any extension of the Term (pursuant to exercise
of
an option granted in this Lease). The consent by Landlord to any
Assignment or Sublease shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant
from
the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express written consent to any other
Assignment or Sublease.
15.4 Corporate
or Partnership Transfers. Any sale or other transfer,
including without limitation by consolidation, merger or reorganization, of
a
majority of the voting stock of Tenant or any beneficial interest therein,
if
Tenant is a corporation, or any sale or other transfer of a majority of the
general partnership or membership interests in Tenant or any beneficial interest
therein, if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, shall be
an
Assignment for purposes of this Lease. The provisions of this
Section 15.4 shall not apply at any time the
stock of Tenant is traded on a national exchange.
15.5 Assumption
of Obligations. Each assignee or other transferee of
Tenant’s interest under this Lease, other than Landlord, shall assume all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly
and severally with Tenant for the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent,
and
for the performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in this Lease which are to be performed by Tenant. Each
sublessee of all or any portion of the Premises shall agree in writing for
the
benefit of Landlord (a) to comply with and agree to the provisions of this
Lease, and (b) that such sublease (and all further subleases of any portion
of
the Premises) shall terminate upon any termination of this Lease, regardless
of
whether or not such termination is voluntary. No Assignment or
Sublease shall be valid or effective unless the assignee or sublessee or Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a fully-executed counterpart of the Assignment or
Sublease and an instrument that contains a covenant of assumption by the
assignee or agreement of the sublessee, reasonably satisfactory in substance
and
form to Landlord, consistent with the requirements of this Section
15.5. The failure or refusal of the
assignee to execute such instrument of assumption or of the sublessee to execute
the agreement described above shall not release or discharge the assignee or
sublessee from its obligations that would have been contained in such instrument
or agreement, all of which obligations shall run automatically to such assignee
or sublessee.
16. Utilities
and Services.
16.1 Utilities. Tenant
shall timely pay directly to the applicable providers, the cost of all electric,
gas, water and sewer utilities that are separately metered to the
Premises.
16.2 Certain
Services. Tenant shall contract separately for the
provision, at Tenant’s sole cost, of janitorial service and trash removal for
the Premises and Landlord will have no obligation to provide any such services
to the Premises.
16.3 Involuntary
Cessation of Services. Landlord reserves the right,
without any liability to Tenant and without affecting Tenant’s covenants and
obligations hereunder, to stop service of any or all of the HVAC, electric,
sanitary, and other systems serving the Premises, or to stop any other services
required by Landlord under this Lease, whenever and for so long as may be
necessary by reason of (i) accidents, emergencies, strikes, or the making of
repairs or changes which Landlord, in good faith, deems necessary or (ii) any
other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. No such
interruption of service shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s
use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord
liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the obligation
to
pay Rent; provided, however, that if any interruption of services persists
for a
period in excess of three (3) consecutive business days Tenant shall, as
Tenant’s sole remedy, be entitled to a proportionate abatement of Rent to the
extent, if any, of any actual loss of use of the Premises by
Tenant.
17. Default.
17.1 Events
of Default by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in
this Lease, the failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or other
obligation of Tenant or the failure of any representation made by Tenant under
this Lease shall constitute a default by Tenant upon expiration of the
applicable grace period, if any. Tenant shall have a period of five
(5) days from the date it receives written notice from Landlord that any payment
of Rent is due within which to cure any default in the payment of
Rent. Except as otherwise provided in Section
18, Tenant shall have a period of thirty
(30) days
from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any other
default under this Lease; provided, however, that with respect to any default
(other than a default which can be cured by the payment of money) that cannot
reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the default shall not be deemed
to
be uncured if Tenant commences to cure within thirty (30) days from Landlord’s
notice, continues to prosecute diligently the curing of such default and
actually cures such default within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s
notice. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
17.1, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide
Tenant with notice of substantially similar defaults more than two (2) times
in
any twelve (12) month period.
17.2 Remedies. Upon
the occurrence of a default by Tenant that is not cured by Tenant within the
applicable grace periods specified in Section
17.1, Landlord shall have all of the following
rights
and remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord
at law or in equity:
17.2.1 The
right
to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and to recover (i) all
Rent which shall have accrued and remain unpaid through the date of termination;
plus (ii) the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term,
discounted to present value at the Prime Rate then in effect, shall exceed
the
then fair rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, similarly
discounted; plus (iii) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all
the damages caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this
Lease (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’
fees, costs of alterations of the Premises, interest costs and brokers’ fees
incurred upon any reletting of the Premises).
17.2.2 The
right
to continue the Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and recover Rent as it
becomes due. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet
the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to
protect its interest under this Lease shall not of themselves constitute a
termination of Tenant’s right to possession.
17.2.3 The
right
and power to enter the Premises and remove therefrom all property, to
store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for
the account of Tenant, and to sell such property and apply the proceeds
therefrom pursuant to applicable law. In such event, Landlord may
from time to time sublet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or
terms
(which may extend beyond the Term) and at such rent and such other terms as
Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make
alterations and repairs (in character substantially similar to those commonly
made in warehouse facilities similar to the Property in the Phoenix metropolitan
area) to the Premises. Upon each such subletting, rents received from
such subletting shall be applied by Landlord, first, to payment of any costs
of
such subletting (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and
accountants’ fees, costs of alterations of the Premises, interest costs, and
brokers’ fees) and of any such alterations and repairs; second, to payment of
Base Rent and Additional Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if
any,
shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Base Rent and
Additional Rent as they become due. If any rental or other charges
due under such sublease shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the
sublessees, or if such rentals received from such subletting during any month
are less than Base Rent and Additional Rent to be paid during that month by
Tenant, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord the costs of such
subletting (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees,
costs of alterations of the Premises, interest costs and brokers’ fees), and any
other amounts due Landlord under this Section
17.2. Such deficiency shall be calculated
and paid monthly. No taking possession of the Premises by Landlord
shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless
a
written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Landlord’s
subletting the Premises without termination shall not constitute a waiver of
Landlord’s right to elect to terminate this Lease for such previous
breach.
17.2.4 Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages resulting from a default by
Tenant, as required by applicable law.
17.3 Remedies
Cumulative. The exercise of any remedy provided by law
or the provisions of this Lease shall not exclude any other remedies unless
they
are expressly excluded by this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right
of redemption or relief from forfeiture following termination of, or exercise
of
any remedy by Landlord with respect to, this Lease.
17.4 Events
of Default by Landlord and Tenant’s Remedies. The
failure by Landlord to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions,
or
provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord, where such
failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof by Tenant to Landlord, shall be deemed to be a default by Landlord
under
this Lease; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s default is such
that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord commences such cure
within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such
cure to completion, provided that the default shall actually be cured within
ninety (90) days after notice. In the event of a default by Landlord
beyond applicable cure periods, Tenant shall have the right, at its election,
to: (a) xxx for damages sustained by reason of the default; or (b) perform
the
obligations described in the notice in which case Landlord shall reimburse
Tenant for the reasonable cost of the performance of such obligations within
ten
(10) business days after Tenant’s submission of an invoice
therefore. If Tenant elects to proceed under clause (b) above, then
the Landlord’s default shall be deemed to have been cured when Tenant’s expense
has been reimbursed in full. In the event Tenant commences a suit for
damages sustained by reason of a Landlord Default and prevails in such suit
and
obtains a final, non-appealable judgment with respect to such suit, Tenant
may
then set-off the amount of such judgment against the amounts due to Landlord
under this Lease. Tenant shall have no other right to
set-off.
17.5 Limitation
of Landlord’s Liability. None of Landlord’s covenants,
undertakings or agreements under this Lease is made or intended as personal
covenants, undertakings or agreements by Landlord, or by any of Landlord’s
shareholders, directors, officers, trustees or constituent
partners. All liability for damage or breach or nonperformance by
Landlord shall be collectible only out of Landlord’s interest from time to time
in the Property, and no personal liability is assumed by nor at any time may
be
asserted against Landlord or any of Landlord’s shareholders, directors,
officers, trustees or constituent partners.
17.6 Transfer
of Landlord’s Interest. Upon the sale or other
conveyance or transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property, the transferor
shall be relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord arising under
this Lease from and after the closing of such sale, conveyance or transfer,
provided the transferee assumes the obligations of Landlord under this Lease
from and after the date of transfer.
18. Insolvency
or Bankruptcy. The occurrence of any of the following
shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (i)
the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all
of
the assets of Tenant or the Premises, (ii) an assignment by Tenant for the
benefit of creditors, (iii) any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other debtor relief act
or
statute, whether now existing or hereafter amended or enacted, (iv) the filing
of any voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant, or the filing of any
involuntary petition by Tenant’s creditors, which involuntary petition remains
undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days, (v) the attachment, execution
or
other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or the
Premises, if such attachment or other seizure remains undismissed or
undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after the levy thereof, (vi)
the
admission of Tenant in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become
due, (vii) the filing by Tenant of any answer admitting or failing timely to
contest a material allegation of a petition filed against Tenant in any
proceeding seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation or dissolution of Tenant or similar relief, or (viii) if within
sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking
any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed. Upon the
occurrence of any such event or at any time thereafter, Landlord may elect
to
exercise any of its remedies under Section
16.3 above or any other remedy available at
law or in
equity. In no event shall this Lease be assigned or assignable by
operation of law or by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or
otherwise, and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges under
this Lease be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization proceedings. If, upon the occurrence of any of the
events enumerated above, under applicable law Tenant or the trustee in
bankruptcy has the right to affirm this Lease and continue to perform the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant or such trustee, in such time
period as may be permitted by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction, shall
cure all defaults of Tenant outstanding under this Lease as of the date of
the
affirmance of this Lease and provide to Landlord such adequate assurances as
may
be necessary to ensure Landlord of the continued performance of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 17.1, there shall be no cure periods
for any breach or default under this Section
18 except as expressly provided in this
Section 18.
19. Fees
and Expenses; Indemnity; Payment.
19.1 Landlord’s
Right to Remedy Defaults. If Tenant shall default in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Lease after notice and
expiration of the applicable cure period, Landlord, at any time thereafter
and
without additional notice, may remedy such default for Tenant’s account and at
Tenant’s expense, without waiving any other rights or remedies of Landlord with
respect to such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall have the right to cure any failure by Tenant to perform any of its
obligations under this Lease without notice to Tenant if such failure results
in
an immediate threat to life or safety of any person, or impairs the Building
or
its efficient operation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for, and there shall be no abatement of
Rent
with respect to, any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising
from the exercise by Landlord of its rights under this Section
19.1.
19.2 Indemnity. Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and
all
claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses including, without
limitation, penalties, fines and reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent
incurred in connection with or arising from (a) any default by Tenant in the
performance of its obligations under this Lease, or the failure of any
representation made by Tenant in this Lease, and (b) the use or occupancy or
manner of use or occupancy of the Premises or any injury or damage caused by
Tenant, Tenant Parties or any person occupying the Premises through
Tenant. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless
from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages and
expenses including, without limitation, penalties, fines and reasonable
attorneys’ fees, to the extent incurred in connection with or arising from (a)
any default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under this Lease,
or the failure of any representation made by Landlord in this Lease, and (b)
any
injury or damage caused by any negligent or willful acts of any or all of
Landlord and any parties within the control of Landlord. Nothing
contained in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed
to exculpate Landlord from, or indemnify Landlord for, Landlord’s negligent or
willful acts or omissions. The terms of this Section
19.2 shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease.
19.3 Interest
on Past Due Obligations. Unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, any amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease which
is not paid within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord shall bear
interest from the due date until paid at the Lease Interest Rate.
20. Access
to Premises. Landlord reserves for itself and its
agents, employees and independent contractors the right to enter the Premises
upon at least twenty-four (24) hours notice to inspect the Premises, to supply
any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant, to prospective purchasers,
mortgagees, beneficiaries or (no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the
expiration of this Lease) tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility, to
determine whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease,
and
to alter, improve or repair the Premises, the Common Areas or any other portion
of the Building. Landlord’s right to enter the Premises shall include
the right to grant reasonable access to the Premises to governmental or utility
employees. Landlord may erect, use and maintain scaffolding, pipes,
conduits and other necessary structures in and through the Premises, the Common
Areas or any other portion of the Building where reasonably required by the
character of the work to be performed in making repairs or improvements,
provided that the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and
that there is no unreasonable interference with the business of
Tenant. In the event of an emergency, Landlord shall have the right
to enter the Premises at any time without notice. Except to the
extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant waives any
claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with
Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, any
right to abatement of Rent, or any other loss occasioned by Landlord’s exercise
of any of its rights under this Section
20. Any entry to the Premises or portions
thereof obtained by Landlord in accordance with this Section
20 shall not be construed or deemed to be
a forcible
or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual
or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion
thereof. Landlord shall perform any work pursuant to this
Section 20 in a manner designed to cause as
little interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises as is reasonably
practical; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to perform
work during other than normal business hours. To the extent
reasonably practicable, any entry shall occur during normal business
hours.
21. Notices. Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, any payment required to be made
and any bills, statements, notices, demands, requests or other communications
given or required to be given under this Lease shall be effective only if
rendered or given in writing, sent by personal delivery or registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier service,
addressed (a) to Tenant at Tenant’s Address, (b) to Landlord at Landlord’s
Address, or (c) to such other address as either Landlord or Tenant may designate
as its new address for such purpose by notice given to the other in accordance
with the provisions of this
Section 21. Any such xxxx,
statement, notice, demand, request or other communication shall be deemed to
have been rendered or given on the date of receipt or refusal to accept
delivery.
22. No
Waiver. Neither this Lease nor any term or provision of
this Lease may be waived, and no breach thereof shall be waived, except by
a
written instrument signed by the party against which the enforcement of the
waiver is sought. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict
performance of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or to exercise any
right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, no acceptance of full
or partial Base Rent or Additional Rent during the continuance of any such
breach, no course of conduct between Landlord and Tenant, and no acceptance
of
the keys or to possession of the Premises before the termination of the Term
by
Landlord or any employee of Landlord shall constitute a waiver of any such
breach or a waiver or modification of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease or operate as a surrender of this Lease. No waiver of any
breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every term, covenant
and
condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect
to
any other then-existing or subsequent breach thereof. No payment by
Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the aggregate of all
Base
Rent and Additional Rent then due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other
than on account of the first items of such Base Rent and Additional Rent then
accruing or becoming due, unless Landlord elects otherwise. No
endorsement or statement on any check and no letter accompanying any check
or
other payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent in any such lesser amount and
no
acceptance by Landlord of any such check or other payment shall constitute
an
accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment
without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Base Rent
or Additional Rent or to pursue any other legal remedy.
23. Estoppel
Certificates. Either party, at any time and from time to
time, within ten (10) days after written request from the other, shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the other party, addressed (at Landlord’s request) to
the other party and any prospective purchaser, ground or underlying lessor
or
mortgagee or beneficiary of any part of the Property, an estoppel certificate
in
form and substance reasonably designated by the other party. Tenant
shall cause Guarantor to join in any such estoppel certificate for the purpose
of certifying that Guarantor’s guaranty remains in full force and
effect. It is intended that any such certificate may be relied upon
by the party receiving the same and any prospective purchaser, investor, ground
or underlying lessor or mortgagee or beneficiary of all or any part of the
Property.
24. Rules
and Regulations. Tenant shall faithfully observe and
comply with and cause all of its employees and invitees to observe and comply
with all reasonable rules and regulations which may from time to time be put
into effect by Landlord. In the event of any conflict between any
such rule or regulation and this Lease, this Lease shall govern.
25. Tenant’s
Taxes. In addition to all other sums to be paid by
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, all Lease Taxes
and any and all other taxes levied or assessed during the Term, whether or
not
now customary or within the contemplation of the parties, (a) upon, measured
by
or reasonably attributable to Tenant’s improvements, equipment, furniture,
fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, (b) upon or
measured by Base Rent or Additional Rent, or both, payable under this Lease,
including without limitation, any gross income tax or excise tax levied by
any
governmental body having jurisdiction with respect to the receipt of such
rental; (c) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation,
management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of
the
Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) upon this transaction or any document
to
which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in
the
Premises. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all
such taxes paid or payable by Landlord (other than state and federal personal
or
corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all
sources). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 25, Tenant shall have the right to
contest any taxes payable by Tenant under this Section provided that Tenant,
at
its sole cost and expense, diligently undertakes and pursues any such contest
in
appropriate proceedings, indemnifies Landlord against and holds Landlord
harmless from all loss or damages that Landlord shall suffer by reason of such
contest, and does not permit any lien to be placed on the Building or any part
thereof or interest therein.
26. Renewal
Option. Provided that no default exists
under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods at the time the
option to renew which is described below (the “Renewal Option”)
is exercised, or at the commencement of the Renewal Period, Tenant shall have
the right to extend the Term for one (1) five-year renewal period (the
“Renewal Period”) commencing on the Expiration Date, upon the
same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except as hereinafter
provided:
26.1 The

26.2 Landlord
shall have no obligation to make improvements, decorations, repairs,
alterations, or additions to the Premises as a condition to Tenant’s obligation
to pay Rent for the Renewal Period, and the Base Rent for the Renewal Period
shall not be reduced either (aa) by reason of such fact, (bb) to take into
account any rental concession whatsoever (including, but not limited to rent
abatements, allowances for moving expenses, lease assumptions, or other
concessions), or (cc) to take into account the absence of any cost or expense
which Landlord would have incurred had the Premises been leased to a person
or
entity other than Tenant.
26.3 Tenant
shall have no further or additional rights to extend the Term of this
Lease.
26.4 The
Renewal Option shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Landlord
given not earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days nor later than one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date. In the event Tenant
fails strictly to comply with the procedure for exercise of the Renewal Option,
Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term.
26.5 The
renewal option granted pursuant to this Section 26 is personal
to Tenant. If Tenant subleases any portion of the Premises or assigns
or otherwise transfers any interest under the Lease to any other person or
entity pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 15 hereof,
this Renewal Option shall lapse.
27. Miscellaneous.
27.1 Annual
Financial Statement. Within ten (10) days following the
request of Landlord, at any time during the Term that Tenant is not a “publicly
traded company” (i.e., ownership interests are listed on a public securities
exchange), then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a financial statement, in
form
and substance satisfactory to Landlord, showing the complete results of such
entity’s operations for its immediately preceding fiscal year, certified as true
and correct by a certified public accountant and prepared after audit in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis from year to year. The obligation contained in this section
shall not apply at any time during the Term that Tenant is a “publicly traded
company.”
27.2 References. All
personal pronouns used in this Lease, whether used in the masculine, feminine
or
neuter gender, shall include all other genders; the singular shall include
the
plural, and vice versa. The use herein of the word “including” or
“include” when following any general statement, term or matter shall not be
construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or
matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or
matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation”, or
“but not limited to,” or words of similar import) is used with reference
thereto. All references to “mortgage” and “mortgagee” shall include
deeds of trust and beneficiaries under deeds of trust,
respectively. All Exhibits referenced and attached to this Lease are
incorporated in this Lease by this reference. The captions preceding
the Sections and Sections of this Lease have been inserted solely as a matter
of
convenience, and such captions in no way define or limit the scope or intent
of
any provision of this Lease.
27.3 Successors
and Assigns. The terms, covenants and conditions
contained in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and
Tenant and, except as otherwise provided herein, their respective personal
representatives and successors and assigns; provided, however, that upon the
sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord (or by any subsequent Landlord) of
its
interest in the Building as owner or lessee, including, without limitation,
any
transfer upon or in lieu of foreclosure or by operation of law, Landlord (or
subsequent Landlord) shall be relieved from all subsequent obligations or
liabilities under this Lease, and all obligations subsequent to such sale,
assignment or transfer (but not any obligations or liabilities that have accrued
prior to the date of such sale, assignment or transfer) shall be binding upon
the grantee, assignee or other transferee of such interest. Any such
grantee, assignee or transferee, by accepting such interest, shall be deemed
to
have assumed such subsequent obligations and liabilities.
27.4 Severability. If
any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of
this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances
other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be
affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall remain in effect and
shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.
27.5 Construction. This
Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State in which the Building is located, without regard for such State’s choice
of law requirements.
27.6 Integration. The
terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, the Exhibits to this Lease)
are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement with
respect to such terms as are included in this Lease and may not be contradicted
by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement, arrangement,
understanding or negotiation (whether oral or written). The parties
further intend that this Lease constitutes the complete and exclusive statement
of its terms, and no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any
judicial proceeding involving this Lease. Neither Landlord nor
Landlord’s agents have made any representations or warranties with respect to
the Premises, the Building, the Property or this Lease except as expressly
set
forth herein. The language in all parts of this Lease shall in all
cases be construed as a whole and in accordance with its fair meaning and not
construed for or against any party by reason of such party having drafted such
language.
27.7 Surrender. Upon
the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Tenant will quietly and
peacefully surrender to Landlord the Premises in the condition in which they
are
required to be kept as provided in this Lease, ordinary wear and tear
excepted.
27.8 Quiet
Enjoyment. Upon Tenant paying the Base Rent and
Additional Rent and performing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease,
Landlord warrants that Tenant shall peacefully and quietly enjoy the Premises
during the Term as against all persons or entities claiming by or through
Landlord; subject, however, to the provisions of this Lease and to any mortgages
or deeds of trust or ground or underlying leases referred to in Section
10.
27.9 Holding
Over. If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of
the Term, Tenant shall pay monthly Base Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the Base Rent payable during the final full month of the applicable
Lease Year (exclusive of abatements, if any), in which such termination occurs
together with an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord for the monthly
Additional Rent payable under this Lease, and shall otherwise be on the terms
and conditions herein specified so far as applicable (but expressly excluding
all renewal or extension rights). No holding over by Tenant after the
Term shall operate to extend the Term. Any holding over with
Landlord’s written consent shall be construed as a tenancy at sufferance or from
month to month, at Landlord’s option. Any holding over without
Landlord’s written consent shall entitle Landlord to reenter the Premises as
provided in Section 16.3, and to enforce all
other rights and remedies provided by law or this Lease.
27.10 Time
of Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every
provision of this Lease.
27.11 Broker’s
Commissions. Each party represents and warrants to the
other that it has not entered into any agreement or incurred or created any
obligation which might require the other party to pay any broker’s commission,
finder’s fee or other commission or fee relating to the leasing of the Premises,
other than the Broker referenced herein. Each party shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the other and the other’s constituent partners and
their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees from
and against all claims for any such commissions or fees made by anyone claiming
by or through the indemnifying party.
27.12 No
Merger. The voluntary or other surrender or termination
of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation hereof shall not work a
merger, but, at Landlord’s sole option, shall either terminate all existing
subleases or subtenancies or shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of
all
such subleases or subtenancies.
27.13 Survival. All
of Tenant’s and Landlord’s covenants and obligations contained in this Lease
which by their nature might not be fully performed or capable of performance
before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive such
expiration or earlier termination. No provision of this Lease
providing for termination in certain events shall be construed as a limitation
or restriction of Landlord’s or Tenant’s rights and remedies at law or in equity
available upon a breach by the other party of this Lease.
27.14 Amendments. No
amendments or modifications of this Lease or any agreements in connection
therewith shall be valid unless in writing duly executed by both Landlord and
Tenant. No amendment to this Lease shall be binding on any mortgagee
or beneficiary of Landlord (or purchaser at any foreclosure sale) unless such
mortgagee or beneficiary shall have consented in writing to such
amendment.
27.15 DELIVERY
FOR EXAMINATION. DELIVERY OF THE LEASE TO TENANT SHALL
NOT BIND LANDLORD IN ANY MANNER, AND NO LEASE OR OBLIGATIONS OF LANDLORD SHALL
ARISE UNTIL THIS INSTRUMENT IS SIGNED BY BOTH LANDLORD AND TENANT AND DELIVERY
IS MADE TO EACH.
