1.4 Premises. Landlord is leasing the premises (“Premises”) known as Xxxxx 000, consisting of 2,021 rentable square feet, in the building (“Building”) located at | |||
0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto.
1.5 Term: The period commencing on October 1, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”) and expiring on September 30, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”).
1.6 Prior Occupancy. Landlord hereby agrees to grant Tenant possession of the Premises for Tenant’s Prior Occupancy from September 24, 2012 through September 30, 2012. During such Prior Occupancy period, Tenant shall have the right to install its furniture, fixtures and equipment with Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Prior Occupancy Period shall be rent free. During said Prior Occupancy Period all of the terms and conditions of the Lease are in full force and effect except for Section 4.
1.7 Sole Permitted Use: General Office Purposes.
1.8 Base Rent: THREE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,200.00) per month as stipulated in Paragraph 4 below. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of THREE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,200.00) to be applied against Base Rent when it becomes due.
2. PREMISES AND TERM. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises, for the Term set forth in Paragraph 1 above, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3. USE. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use set forth in Paragraph 1 above and for no other uses whatsoever.
4. RENT AND CHARGES. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly as base rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises in advance on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the term of this Lease without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, the sum of THREE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,200.00).
5. INTEREST AND LATE CHARGE.
5.1 Late Charges. If any installment of Base Rent or other Rent is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days of the date such amount shall be due Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent
(10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
5.2 Interest. In addition to the late charges referred to above any late payment of Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, bear interest from the due date of any such payment to the date the same is paid at the Default Rate. As used in this Lease, “Default Rate” shall mean the lesser of twelve percent per annum (12%) or the maximum rate permitted by law.
6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of THREE THOSAND TWO HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($3,200.00) (the “Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant during the term hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including the provisions relating to the payment of any Rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure such default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount; Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) upon the expiration of the Lease term and Tenant’s vacating the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord may elect in its reasonable discretion to retain a portion of the Security Deposit in an amount composed of any or all of the following: (i) any unpaid amounts owed to Landlord, (ii) the cost of any damage (excluding normal wear and tear or damage resulting from the approved installation of wall hangings by Landlord) to the Premises, and (iii) the costs of removing any personal property refuse or debris left in the Premises at the expiration of the Lease.
7. WORK AT PREMISES; TAXES ON IMPROVEMENTS; MECHANICS LIENS. Tenant takes the Premises in an “as is” condition. Tenant shall not make any
alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s advance written consent. Tenant shall pay all taxes based on any property of Tenant, real or personal, which shall at any time be in the Premises or any other part of the Building, including Tenant’s installations, additions, improvements, fixtures and personal property. Tenant shall not suffer any mechanic’s lien to be filed against the Premises or any other part of the Project by reason of any work, labor, services, or materials performed at or furnished to the Premises for Tenant or anyone holding the Premises through or under Tenant. If a mechanic’s lien shall be so filed, Landlord may remove it at Tenant’s expense.
Landlord shall furnish to the Premises water, gas and electricity suitable for the intended use of the Premises, heat and air conditioning required in Landlord’s judgment for the comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises (for standard office use), and janitorial services in a first class manner.
8. HOURS OF OPERATION. Landlord’s current hours of operation in Xxxxxx Ranch (hereinafter “Hours of Operation”) are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, excepting holidays (New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th (Independence Day), Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day). In the event the holiday falls on a weekend, the business day closest to the holiday will be considered to be the holiday. The building is available to Tenant 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week, 365 days a year. The after hours rate for air conditioning and heating service after Landlord’s Hours of Operation is currently $50.00 per hour, per floor. This rate is subject to adjustment based upon the decrease or increase in utilities as charged by Landlord’s utility provider.
9. ADDITIONAL UTILITIES COSTS. Except for services used outside of the Hours of Operation or any special equipment of Tenant’s that runs 24/7 or if such equipment in Landlord’s reasonable judgment uses electricity or HVAC equipment in excess of amounts used for a typical office tenant in the Building the cost of utilities is included as part of the Base Rent. Sub-metered equipment or equipment that requires and uses excessive amounts of electricity and HVAC will be billed as additional rent to Tenant as Additional Utilities Costs. At Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant can be offered above standard utility billing based on a mathematical computation of the BTU load of the equipment being operated in the space to arrive at a Kilowatt Hour use which would be applied to the market utility cost each month. This option would relieve the tenant of the obligation to purchase a sub-meter. Landlord may revoke said option at any time and require Tenant to sub-meter excess or additional utilities costs.
10. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant shall at all times observe the following rules and regulations with respect to the Premises: (a) Tenant shall maintain the
Premises in a clean, sanitary, attractive and safe condition and in good repair; (b) Tenant shall not perform any act or carry on any practice which constitutes a nuisance or which Landlord shall otherwise reasonably determine to be offensive or dangerous; (c) Tenant shall store all trash and garbage at the locations designated by Landlord and shall not burn any trash or garbage in or about the Premises or anywhere else in the Building; (d) Tenant shall at all times comply with all laws, rules and regulations pertaining to the Premises or the conduct of Tenant’s business thereat promulgated by any governmental agency having jurisdiction with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act); (e) Tenant shall not permit to be conducted on the Premises any act in violation of applicable laws, orders, rules and regulations; and (f) Tenant shall not use, bring upon, or generate at the Premises any substance which is now or hereafter deemed hazardous or toxic by any governing or regulatory body having jurisdiction. Tenant shall comply with such other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time adopt with respect to the Building. Landlord shall at all times keep and maintain the Building in good condition, order and repair, including the parking lot, roof, foundation and structural portions of the Building, as well as the mechanical, electrical, HVAC or other utility systems servicing the Premises, unless such repairs are necessitated by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, contractors or employees, and provided, Landlord shall be under no obligations to make any capital replacements of the foregoing items.
11. SIGNS. Tenant shall not inscribe, paint or affix any sign, advertisement, display or notice on any part of the Premises, except as Landlord may approve in advance in writing.
12. ACCESS TO PREMISES. Landlord reserves the right to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, or the use thereof by Tenant, or for making repairs or alterations to the Premises or any other space in the Building, whether required by this Lease, applicable law or otherwise, or for curtailing any emergency. The exercise by Landlord of any of its rights herein shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises.
13. INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect during the Term of this Lease, and at its own cost and expense procure and continue in force the following insurance (i) commercial general liability insurance with respect to personal injury or death or property damage occurring at the Premises or arising out of Tenant’s use of the Premises or otherwise arising out of any act or occurrence at the Premises of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, (ii) workers compensation insurance as required by statute and
employers liability insurance; and (iii) insurance insuring its inventory, fixtures and other personal property at the Premises covering damage by fire or other casualty to such property, in amounts not less than the full replacement cost of such property. If any contractor of Tenant performs any work at the Premises, said contractor shall also obtain the foregoing insurance. All the policies for the foregoing insurance shall name Annabel Investment Company, and its related affiliates and such other parties as Landlord may designate, as additional insured. Prior to the Commencement Date and at such times as the policies are to expire, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing that such insurance is in effect or has been renewed, as the case may be. Tenant hereby waives all subrogation rights of its insurance carriers in favor of Landlord, its partners, officers, employees, and agents, and shall obtain from its insurer a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord and such other parties as Landlord designates as additional insured with respect to all such insurance.
14. WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY.
(a) Tenant shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its partners, members, officers, shareholders, directors, employees, agents and property managers harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, claims, attorneys’ fees, expenses, liability, fines, and penalties arising from (i) any default or breach by Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease by Tenant or (ii) any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant Representative in, on, or about the Premises, or any part of the Project, either during or prior to occupancy or during the Term of this Lease.

31. MISCELLANEOUS. Landlord reserves the right at any time to change the location or character of or make alterations in or additions to the Building. The failure of Landlord to insist upon performance by Tenant of any of the terms, conditions and covenants hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained. All obligations (including indemnity obligations) herein shall survive the expiration of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto.

The terms, covenants and conditions contained herein shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, and their respective successors and assigns.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
The following rules and regulations have been developed for the safety and well-being of all tenants. Any violation of these rules and regulations by Tenant shall constitute a default by Tenant under their lease. When using the term “Tenant”, this also includes their employees, vendors and guests.
1. Tenant shall comply with all smoking laws. Smoking is prohibited inside the buildings, outdoor dining areas or within 25 feet of any building entries or exits. Smoking is permitted in designated smoking areas outside of the building, which from time to time can be relocated by Landlord at their discretion.
2. No sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice shall be inscribed, displayed, printed, affixed or otherwise displayed by Tenant on or to any part of the outside or inside of the Building or the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to remove any such sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice without notice to and at the expense of Tenant. All approved signs or lettering on doors shall be printed, painted, affixed or inscribed at the expense of Tenant by a person approved by Landlord.

Tenant shall not install any radio or television antenna, satellite dish, loud speaker, or other device on or about the roof area or exterior walls of the Building without prior written consent of Landlord. Such an installation may require the payment of additional rent.
3. The sidewalks, halls, corridors, passages, exits, entrances, courtyards, vestibules, elevators and stairways or other parts of the Building not exclusively occupied by Tenant, shall not be obstructed by Tenant or used by it for any purpose other than for ingress to and egress from the Premises. The halls, corridors, passages, exits, entrances, courtyards, vestibules, elevators, stairways, balconies and roof are not for the use of the general public. No parcels or other articles shall be placed, kept or displayed in corridors, stairways, on window ledges, in windows or other public parts of the Premises. Tenant shall not permit its employees and invitees to congregate in the lobbies, corridors or other common areas of the Premises. Except as permitted in the lease, in no
event may Tenant go upon the roof of the Building, or access any utility closets in the building or penthouse.
4. Landlord will furnish Tenant with 10 keys to the Premises, free of charge. Additional keys and/or access cards shall be obtained only from Landlord and Landlord may make a reasonable charge for such additional keys. No additional locking devices shall be installed in the Premises by Tenant, nor shall any locking devices be changed or altered in any respect without the prior written consent of Landlord.

The floors, corners and walls of elevators and corridors used for moving of equipment or other items in or out of the Project must be adequately covered, padded and protected and, Landlord may provide such padding and protection at Tenant’s expense if Landlord determines that such measures undertaken by Tenant or Tenant’s movers are inadequate. Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight, size and position of all heavy equipment or furnishings brought into the Building and also the times and manner of moving the same in or out of the Building.
