LEASE AND TERM

2.01Lease of Premises for Term. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord for the Term stated in Section 1.04. The Commencement Date is the date specified in Section 1.04, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to the other that they have the authority to execute this Lease.

  2.02 Tenant’s Contingencies

(a)  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that (i) Tenant desires for Landlord to acquire the Property and construct a Building (the “Project”) for Tenant to Lease; (ii) Landlord and Tenant have worked together to develop a preliminarily depiction of the Project site plan (the “Preliminary Site Plan”), and Landlord has provided a copy of such to Tenant prior to the execution of this Lease and (iii) as of the date of this Lease Landlord has entered into a contract to purchase (the “Purchase Agreement”) the Property but has not yet closed on that purchase. The date of Landlord’s acquisition of fee simple title to the Property is referred to as the “Acquisition Date”. If Landlord fails to cause the Acquisition Date to occur on or before August 28, 2022 (the “Acquisition Deadline”) and such failure is not resulting from Tenant’s default under this Lease or a title objection/defect subject to the cure period under the Purchase Agreement, then Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after the Acquisition Deadline upon written notice to the other; provided, however, that in the event that the Acquisition Date occurs after the date above but before Landlord’s receipt of a termination notice from Tenant, the termination right shall expire and any such subsequent notice shall be ineffective. Tenant shall act in good faith in reviewing the Preliminary Plans and Specifications, the Final Plans and Specifications and the Estimate (as each such term is defined in the Construction Rider attached hereto as Addendum E), as well as cooperate fully with Landlord in obtaining all required building permits, zoning permits, use permits and other licenses of governmental authorities for the construction and completion of the Building and Improvements (collectively, the "Building Permits"). In addition, during the Due Diligence Period, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a copy of any title information, including exceptions of record, and Tenant agrees to timely review same and provide any approval or objections to Landlord. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted Title as set forth in the information provided to Tenant.

(b)  Tenant shall have the right to one day free rent for each day of Landlord’s delay as its sole remedy for such delay if for any reason Landlord shall fail to:

(i)  commence construction of the Improvements (as defined in Addendum E) within forty-five (45) days of the issuance of the Building Permits; or

(ii)  complete the Improvements and obtain a final certificate of occupancy issued by the appropriate governmental authorities permitting full and complete access by Tenant to all of the Building within three hundred sixty five (365) days of the issuance of the Building Permits.

(c)  For the purposes of this Section 2.02, the Landlord or any successor in interest shall not be considered in breach of, or in default of, the obligations set forth herein in the event of enforced delay in the performance of or inability to perform such obligations due to any acts of God, the public enemy, fires, floods, pandemics, epidemics, moratoria, appropriate governmental restrictions, delays or declarations, such as, but not limited to, an Executive Order by the Governor of the State of ____________ declaring a state of emergency, and unusually severe weather; it being the purpose and intent of this section that in the event of the occurrence of any such delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of Landlord with respect to this Lease shall be extended for the period of the delay day-for-day plus reasonable mobilization and coordinate time; provided, that the party seeking the benefit of the provisions of this section shall, within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such delay, have first notified the other party thereof in writing, and of the cause or causes thereof. Delay as a result of Landlord and Tenant not agreeing upon the Estimate under Article III of the Construction Rider shall subject to this Subsection (c).

(d)  In the event the local jurisdiction issues only a temporary certificate of occupancy and such temporary certificate of occupancy is not subject to conditions requiring Landlord to complete substantial work or subject to conditions not caused by Landlord (such as design defects), Tenant agrees that the delivery by Landlord of a temporary certificate of occupancy shall satisfy Landlord's obligation in Sections 2.02(b)(ii) and 6.03; provided Landlord uses its best efforts to promptly obtain the final certificate of occupancy and in all events delivers the same to Tenant within thirty (30) days or, if the final certificate of occupancy cannot reasonably be obtained within such period, to commence efforts to obtain the final certificate of occupancy within such thirty (30) day period and proceed diligently thereafter to obtain the final certificate of occupancy.

If Tenant’s action or inaction causes Landlord’s failure to timely commence or complete construction of the Building (a “Tenant Delay”), the foregoing dates shall be adjusted forward by the number of days of Tenant Delay attributable to Tenant’s action or inaction and Tenant’s right to terminate the Lease shall be delayed until such adjusted date(s), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Landlord has provided notice to Tenant (the "Delay Notice"), specifying the action or inaction by Tenant which Landlord contends constitutes Tenant Delay. If Tenant does not cure such action or inaction within two (2) business days after receipt of such Delay Notice (the ‘Xxxxx Xxxxx Period”), then a Tenant Delay, as set forth in such Delay Notice, shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the expiration of the Xxxxx Xxxxx period, but only to the extent that an actual delay results.

2.03Early Occupancy. Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Premises before the Commencement Date for the purpose of installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment and IT and telecommunications equipment and cable (“Early Occupancy Work”) for a period of thirty (30) days (the “Early Occupancy Period”). During the Early Occupancy Period, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises will be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Rent. Early occupancy of the Premises will not advance the Expiration Date. Tenant will carry out or cause to be carried out the Early Occupancy Work at its sole cost and expense, in an orderly manner so as to avoid unreasonably interfering with or interrupting the construction operations of Landlord, in full compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules, regulations, and codes. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain any and all permits, licenses, and approvals that may be required in order to make lawful Tenant's entry onto the Property and performance of the Early Occupancy Work. Tenant's activities within the Building shall be at its sole risk, and neither Landlord nor Landlord’s affiliates shall be responsible for the safety of Tenant or its agents or employees, or for the condition or loss of any items of personal property brought onto the Property. Tenant assumes full responsibility for the Early Occupancy Work and for all damages or losses arising from Tenant’s entry on the Property or performance of Early Occupancy Work suffered by Tenant, Landlord, or either party's agents, contractors, employees, or invitees, whether such damage or loss occurs in the Building or on any other part of the Property. Tenant shall defend, indemnify, protect, and hold harmless Landlord, its heirs successors, assigns, and Landlord’s affiliates, against and from all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses) paid, suffered, or incurred by Landlord as a result of any breach by Tenant of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or as a result of Tenant’s entry onto the Property or performance of the Early Occupancy Work, excluding any losses, damages, penalties, claims, liens, costs, and expenses arising from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant shall coordinate the Early Occupancy Work through the planning stage prior to the Final Plans and Specifications so that the scope of the Early Occupancy Work can be understood, planned, and coordinated during the construction. Prior to commencing the Early Occupancy Work, Tenant will meet with Landlord or Landlord’s designated representative to review the intended scope of the Early Occupancy Work. Tenant’s performance of the Early Occupancy Work shall not interfere with Landlord’s construction and related work and shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s Early Occupancy Work shall be limited to areas internal to the Building unless agreed to by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant may not occupy the Premises or conduct business from the Premises prior to the Commencement Date.
2.04Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Premises immediately upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in vacating the Premises that extends beyond thirty (30) days. If, upon the expiration date or the date of earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant fails to vacate or deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord, then this Lease shall become a month to month tenancy, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however that Tenant shall pay to Landlord, by way of liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the monthly Base Rent at the then current rate for the first month of the holdover period and then increased to an amount that is one-and-one-half (1½) times the Base Rent at the then current rate (such sum being hereafter referred to as the "Holdover Rent") for each month Tenant occupies any part of the Premises, together with any other sums payable hereunder, commencing with the Expiration Date or the date of any earlier termination of this Lease and ending with the date that Tenant vacates or delivers possession of the Premises to Landlord. The Holdover Rent shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each month. The Holdover Rent shall be prorated for partial months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord expressly reserves all rights under applicable law to evict Tenant from the Premises if Tenant fails to vacate or deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the Expiration Date or the date of any earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant expressly waives all legal notice to vacate the Premises, if available under applicable law.
2.05Project Due Diligence.

A.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not presently completed its due diligence of the Project, including necessary environmental and engineering reports, title reports and determination of site suitability for construction of the Premises, building and civil design and financial analysis. Completion of such due diligence is necessary prior to completion of the Project’s Final Plans and Specifications (defined in Section H of the Construction Rider attached hereto as Addendum E) and final determination of project costs. Subject to Force Majeure and Tenant Delays, Landlord shall have a period of two hundred ten (210) days after the Effective Date hereof within which to complete such due diligence (the “Due Diligence Period”). Any delays resulting from the completion of due diligence will likely delay the Commencement Date and may impact the Rent hereunder. Once Landlord has completed due diligence and has evaluated the site impact on the Project and its costs, Landlord and Tenant, at Landlord’s request, shall enter into an amendment to this Lease to reflect such matters. In the event that prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period Landlord shall determine that the Project is not acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion based upon (i) viability of the property for the Project, (ii) unanticipated development costs to be incurred, or (iii) ability to finance on acceptable terms, which may include the creditworthiness of the Tenant, then Landlord may elect to terminate this lease.

B.  Upon such termination, other than as provided in any separate writing or agreement between the parties, this lease shall terminate as the sole remedy of the parties, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder; except that Tenant shall within ten (10) days of invoice and as a condition to such right, reimburse Landlord for all due diligence expenses incurred by Landlord, including without limitation, architectural fees, civil and structural drawings. Upon such payment, Landlord shall assign its rights in and to such work product to Tenant upon Tenant’s request.

C.  Prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant for Tenant’s review and written approval (the “Due Diligence Approval”) the following items:

(i)  the Preliminary Site Plan (as hereinafter defined);

(ii)  a copy of Landlord’s title insurance commitment, along with copies of all title exceptions reflected; and

(iii)  a copy of Landlord’s ALTA survey of the Premises (and all improvements thereon) which survey shall be attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the "Survey"); and

(iv)  a copy of any environmental and geotechnical surveys; and

(v)  the Preliminary Budget as defined in the Construction Rider attached hereto as Addendum E.

D.  The Due Diligence Period shall terminate on the last day thereof (the “Due Diligence Expiration Date”).  Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant may at its sole discretion elect to provide the Due Diligence Approval prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date. 

E.  During the Due Diligence Period, Tenant shall have reasonable approval of (i) the Project’s Preliminary Site Plan; (ii) preliminary Plans and Specification; and (iii) Preliminary Budget. Upon receipt of Tenant’s written approval, each such item shall be attached to this Lease as Exhibit “B” (the "Preliminary Site Plan"); Exhibit “C” (the “Preliminary Plans and Specifications”); and Exhibit “D” (the “Preliminary Budget”), respectively.

F.  Tenant shall timely object in writing five (5) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date as to any of the approvals required above, including those referenced in subparagraph E.

G.  During the Due Diligence Period, Landlord shall solicit bids from contractors to construct the Project and formulate an Estimate of the Total Building Costs (defined in the Construction Rider attached hereto as Addendum E). If such Estimate is not complete as of the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Landlord shall provide a Preliminary Budget. Tenant shall have final and reasonable approval of the Estimate of Total Building Costs during the Due Diligence Period and shall timely object in writing five (5) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date.

H.  The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that if either party fails to satisfy any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.05, then in such event, the other party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice within the Due Diligence Period. If Tenant rejects or fails to approve the items provided in Section 2.05(e), then Tenant may terminate this Agreement provided that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days of invoices for all expenses incurred by Landlord, including architectural and engineering plans.

ARTICLE III

RENT

3.01Manner of Payment. Tenant shall pay the Rent to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 1.02 or to any other party or to any other such address as Landlord may designate in a written notice delivered to Tenant. Landlord may require Tenant to pay Rent by written check, automated clearing house (ACH), electronic fund transfer, or other wire transfer of immediately available funds to a designated bank account of Landlord. Landlord may designate, in a written notice delivered to Tenant, the party authorized to receive Rent and act on behalf of Landlord to enforce this Lease. Any such authorization will remain in effect until it is revoked by Landlord in a subsequent written notice delivered to Tenant. Any payments made to a third party designated by Landlord will be deemed made to Landlord when received by the designated third party. All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as Rent, will constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and for all other purposes. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment or payment of any rental payment due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or payment of such rental payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or payment of rent or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord.
3.02Time of Payment. Tenant shall pay Base Rent beginning on the Commencement Date (as defined in Article I(E) of Addendum E), and on or before the first day of each month thereafter, the installment of Base Rent and other sums due under this Lease will be due and payable, in advance, without off-set, deduction or prior demand. Tenant shall cause payments to be properly mailed or otherwise delivered so as to be actually received (and not merely deposited in the mail) by Landlord on or before the due date. If the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the rent for any partial calendar month following the Commencement Date (as defined in Article I(E) of Addendum E) or preceding the end of the Term will be prorated. Tenant shall pay any such prorated portion for a partial calendar month at the end of the Term on the first day of that calendar month.
3.03Late Charges. Tenant’s failure to promptly pay sums due under this Lease may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of those costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. The costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease or deed of trust, mortgage or other equivalent consensual security interest encumbering the Premises. Payments due to Landlord under this Lease are not an extension or credit. Therefore, if any payment under this Lease is not actually received on or before the due date (and not merely deposited in the mail), Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent a Late Charge on any late payments in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the past due payments (the “Late Charge”) after the payment is more than ten (10) days past due. A Late Charge shall be imposed only once on each past due payment. Any Late Charge will be in addition to Landlord’s other remedies for nonpayment of Rent. Additionally, if any check tendered by Tenant under this Lease is dishonored for any reason, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a dishonored check fee of Thirty Dollars ($30.00 USD), plus (at Landlord’s option) a Late Charge as provided above until Good Funds (defined below) are received by Landlord. The parties agree that any Late Charge and dishonored check fee represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment or dishonored check. If there are any Late Charges, dishonored check fees, installments of Base Rent, and other unpaid charges or reimbursements due to Landlord, then Landlord may apply any payments received from Tenant to any amounts due in any order Landlord may choose. Payment of the Late Charge shall not be construed to extend the date for payment of any sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder or to relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay all such sums at the times herein stipulated.
3.04Good Funds Payment. If any payment by check from Tenant to Landlord for Rent is dishonored and returned unpaid, thereafter Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, by the delivery of a written notice to Tenant, require that all future payments of Rent for the remaining Term of this Lease must be made by cash, certified check, cashier’s check, official bank check, money order, wire transfer or automatic electronic funds transfer (“Good Funds”), and that the delivery of Tenant’s personal or corporate check will no longer constitute payment of Rent under this Lease. Any acceptance by Landlord of a payment for Rent by Tenant’s personal or corporate check thereafter will not be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right to insist upon payment by Good Funds as set forth in this Section.
3.05Sales Tax. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay monthly to Landlord, as Additional Rent, any sales, use or other tax, or any imposition in lieu thereof (excluding State and/or Federal Income Tax) now or hereafter imposed upon the rents, use or occupancy by the United States of America, the State of _______, the County of where the Property is located, or any political subdivision thereof, notwithstanding the fact that such statute, ordinance or enactment imposing the same may endeavor to impose the tax on Landlord. No amounts stated in this Lease include sales tax.

ARTICLE IV

TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES

4.01Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the real estate taxes (“Real Estate Taxes”) on the Premises during the Term by paying the annual Real Estate Taxes not less than thirty (30) days prior to the final due date and provide proof of payment to the Landlord for the prior year’s Real Estate Taxes prior to the applicable delinquency date set by the Tax Collector. The term "Real Estate Taxes" shall include all real estate taxes, assessments and other governmental impositions and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever, extraordinary as well as ordinary, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof which, during the Term, is levied, assessed, imposed, become due and payable, or liens upon, or arising in connection with, the use, occupancy or possession of or become due and payable out of, or for, the Premises, and all costs incurred by Landlord and others in reviewing, contesting and negotiating the same. Tenant shall also pay the costs of all personal property, margin, ad valorem taxes, and any other levies, charges, impact fees and local improvement rates and assessments whatsoever assessed or charged against the Premises, Building, the Property, the equipment, and improvements contained therein or thereon, or on or in any part thereof, by any lawful taxing authority (collectively, “Taxes”), which Taxes shall be considered Additional Rent.
4.02Separate Assessment. Landlord represents and warrants that, upon the Acquisition Date, it will own fee title to the Property and the Property will be separately assessed for purposes of Real Estate Taxes prior to the Commencement Date.
4.03Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, inventory, products, or any other personal property belonging to Tenant, and all repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements of whatsoever kind or nature, if any, made by Tenant to the Property. Tenant shall take reasonable steps to assure that taxes attributable to this property are assessed only as personal property belonging to Tenant and are not assessed as part of the real estate taxes or otherwise as part of the Property or against Landlord. If any of Tenant’s property is taxed with the Property, Tenant shall pay the taxes for Tenant’s property.
4.04Right to Protest Taxes. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right, at its own cost and expense, to initiate and prosecute any proceedings permitted by law for the purpose of obtaining an abatement of or otherwise contesting the validity or amount of Real Estate Taxes assessed or levied upon the Premises and/or Improvements provided that such actions do not create a lien against the Premises.  If required by law, Tenant may take such action in the name of Landlord who shall cooperate with Tenant to the extent reasonably required by Tenant.  To the extent that Landlord or Tenant is successful in procuring a reduction in Real Estate Taxes and such reduction is effectuated by reimbursement to Landlord, Landlord shall promptly remit such reimbursement to Tenant.  Tenant, upon the final determination of such contest brought by Tenant, shall immediately pay and discharge any judgment rendered against it, together with all costs and charges incidental thereto; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay any tax due prior to delinquency even if such amount is disputed.  Tenant shall be liable for all penalties and interest payments in conjunction with any contest and for any increased taxes payable with respect to the Premises arising out of any tax contest undertaken by Tenant. If requested in writing by Tenant, Landlord must provide Tenant with a notice of the tax valuation of the Property.
4.05Payment of Operating Expenses. It is the intent of the parties that this Lease will be an absolute triple net lease, free of any and all Taxes, Other Charges, and operating or other expenses of any kind whatsoever, all of which shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall, in addition to its obligation to pay all Real Estate Taxes, Taxes and insurance related to the Property, shall be solely responsible for payment of any and all “Operating Expenses” related to the Property including but not limited to all expenses, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature relating to or incurred or paid in connection with the ownership, operation, repair and maintenance of the Property, including, but not limited to:  (i) wages and salaries of all employees engaged in the operation, maintenance or security of the Property, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto; (ii) the cost of all labor, supplies, equipment, materials and tools used in the operation and maintenance of the Property; (iii) management fees; (iv) administrative fees; (v) the cost of all reasonable legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with the management and operation of the Property; (vi) the cost of all utilities for the Property, including, but not limited to, the cost of HVAC, water, sewer, waste disposal, gas, and electricity; (vii) the cost of all maintenance and service agreements for the Property, including, but not limited to, security service, window cleaning, elevator maintenance and janitorial service; (viii) the cost of all insurance relating to the Property, plus the cost of all deductible payments made by Landlord in connection therewith; (x) the cost of all license and permit fees; (xi) the cost of repairs, replacements, refurbishing, restoration and general maintenance; (xii) a reasonable amortization charge on account of any capital expenditure incurred in an effort (A) to comply with any Laws, or (B) to reduce overall Operating Expenses (provided a reduction occurs); (xiii) the share of expenses, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature in connection with operation, repair and maintenance of the parking allocated to the Property; and (xiv) all other items constituting operating and maintenance costs in connection with the Property according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Should Landlord incur any cost that related to Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay the amount as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Operating Expense Statement and the invoices and information.

Tenant agrees to maintain, throughout the Lease Term (and any other period during which Tenant is in possession of the Premises), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, (i) comprehensive general public liability insurance in standard form against claims for bodily injury or death or property damage occurring in or upon the Premises, effective from the date Tenant enters into possession and during the term of this Lease and having a combined single limit amount of not less than _______________ Dollars in primary coverage and ________________Dollars in excess liability coverage for injury to one person in one accident, occurrence or casualty, or for injuries to more than one person in one accident, occurrence or casualty; (ii) property damage insurance on Tenant’s alterations and personal property, including furniture, fixtures, and equipment located in the Premises in an amount at not less than their full insurable value, but not less than ________________Dollars for damage to property on any one occurrence; (iii) worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance in compliance with applicable legal requirements; (iv) business interruption insurance with limit of liability representing loss of at least approximately six (6) months of income ; and (v) any other form of insurance or endorsements which Landlord or any mortgagee of the Premises shall reasonably require from time to time, in form, in amounts and for risks against which are consistent with commercially reasonable terms and Tenant’s use.
C.Other than Worker’s Compensation and Property Insurance Policy, any insurance policies required hereunder shall name Landlord, Lender, Landlord’s property manager and service provider as an additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis and shall provide that they may not be modified or terminated without thirty (30) days advance notice to Landlord, and Tenant shall provide a certificate of insurance to Landlord adding Landlord as an additional insured to its primary liability and excess liability policies. Tenant may provide for replacement policies through different insurers or insurance brokers from time to time, subject, however, to Tenant’s obligation to continuously maintain such insurance as provided in this subsection, and provided that such insurers meet all requirements of this provision. All insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall be effected under policies issued by insurers permitted to do business in the State of _______ and rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto (or, if there be none, an organization having a national reputation) as having a general policyholder rating of “A-” and a financial rating of at least “X”. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord within thirty (30) days from the date hereof evidence of such insurance coverage by way of a copy of the declarations page of the insurance policy signed by the underwriter, and any amendments and endorsements thereto, and a certificate of insurance clearly evidencing each of the coverages and provisions set forth in this paragraph. Upon (i) thirty (30) days prior written notice without cause or (ii) immediately upon Tenant’s default in obtaining or delivering the policy or certificate for any such insurance or Tenant’s failure to pay the charges, Landlord may procure or pay the charges for any such policy or policies and charge Tenant for such expenses as Additional Rent. The limits of insurance specified in this Section may be adjusted upward by Landlord, if consistent with commercially reasonable standards, in the event that Landlord shall determine that because of: (i) the lapse of time, (ii) any unexpected rates of inflation, (iii) the size of the Premises, (iv) the use of the Premises by Tenant or (v) for any reason similar to those specified in clauses (i) through (iv) immediately above in this paragraph, the limits specified offer inadequate protection to Landlord.
D.Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof, and at its cost and expense, maintain in effect policies of insurance covering all Alteration made by or on behalf of Tenant and Tenant’s fixtures and equipment located on the Premises, in an amount not less than their full replacement value, including any Alterations made by Tenant, in amount and with such deductibles as determined by Tenant and Landlord based upon commercially reasonable terms, providing protection against any peril included within the standard classification of “All Risk Coverage,” together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism, theft and malicious mischief. The proceeds of such insurance, so long as this Lease remains in effect, shall be used to repair, or replace such fixtures and equipment and Alterations so insured.
E.Landlord and Tenant waive, unless said waiver should invalidate any such insurance, their right to recover damages against each other for any reason whatsoever to the extent the damaged party recovers indemnity from its insurance carrier. Any insurance policy procured by either Tenant or Landlord which does not name the other as a named insured shall, if obtainable, contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurance company, including but not limited to Tenant’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier, against Landlord or Tenant, whichever the case may be.
F.Tenant at its expense shall comply with all requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other similar body affecting the Premises, and shall not use the Premises in a manner which shall increase the rate of fire insurance or other insurance of Landlord or of any other tenant, over that in effect as of the Commencement Date and applicable to the Permitted Use.

Landlord must be added as additional insured to the general liability and excess liability policies of such vendors and contractors, and the minimum limit of liability insurance for such vendors and contractors shall be ________________Dollars and the minimum limit of excess liability coverage for such vendors and contractors shall be __________________ Dollars.
5.02Mutual Indemnity. Tenant assumes responsibility and liability for the Premises to the fullest extent permitted under the applicable state law, and the Tenant shall and does hereby defend, indemnify and save harmless the Landlord and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors, (collectively, the “Landlord Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages, liabilities and actions whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable legal costs) which may be brought or made against any Landlord Indemnitee, or which any Landlord Indemnitee may sustain, pay or incur, in either case as a result of, or in connection with, any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, invitees or contractors. The Landlord shall and does hereby defend, indemnify and save harmless the Tenant and its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and insurers (collectively, the “Tenant Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages, liabilities and actions whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable legal costs, if requested by Tenant) which may be brought or made against any Tenant Indemnitee, or which the Tenant may sustain, pay or incur, in either case as a result of, or in connection with, any act or omission of Landlord or any of the Landlord’s employees, agents, invitees or contractors.
5.03Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant, in the exercise of their commercial business judgment, acknowledge that the use of insurance is the best way to protect against the risk of loss to their respective properties and economic interests in the Premises. Accordingly, each party to this Lease waives any and every claim that arises or may arise in its favor against the other during the Term of this Lease for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or upon, or constituting a part of, the Premises, to the extent the loss or damage is covered by and recoverable under valid and collectible insurance policies. These mutual waivers are in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss of, or damage to, property of the parties. In as much as these mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any such claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company (or any other person), each party agrees to immediately give to each insurance company that has issued an insurance policy to such party written notice of the terms of such mutual waivers, and to cause the policies to be endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of these waivers. Notwithstanding the foregoing release provisions, Tenant agrees that such releases shall not apply to any loss or damage that results from Tenant breaching its maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall cause its insurance company to consent to such releases and to include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in each of its insurance policies.
5.04Limited Liability of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, subtenants, invitees or any person entering upon the Property in whole or in part because of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Property for any damage or injury to persons or property due to condition, design, or defect in the Building or its mechanical systems or its security plans or systems which may exist or occur, and Tenant assumes all risks of damage or injury to such persons or property. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, injury, compensation or claim, directly or indirectly, arising from the interruption of utility service to the Premises, any accident or damage resulting from the use or operation of elevators, or heating, cooling, electrical or plumbing equipment or apparatus unless such was the result of gross negligence of the Landlord, the termination of this Lease by reason of the destruction of the Premises, or any loss, damage or injury to any property or person resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster or ceiling tile, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, windstorm, snow or leaks from any part of the Premises or from the pipes, appliances, plumbing works, roof, street, or subsurface of any floor or ceiling or from any other place or because of dampness, mold or climatic conditions from any other cause of whatsoever kind, or occasioned by theft, act of God, public enemy, criminal activity, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, terrorism, court order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority, or for any injury or damage or inconvenience, which may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the Building, or failure to make repairs, or from any other cause whatsoever except solely as a result of Landlord’s willful acts or gross negligence. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury whatsoever caused by any other persons in or about the Building or the Premises. All property of the Tenant kept or stored on the Premises shall be kept or stored at the risk of the Tenant only and the Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord in the event of any claims arising out of damages or injury to the same. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way for: (a) loss or damage, however caused (unless as a result of Landlord’s grossly negligent action that gave rise to the loss or damage), to money, securities, negotiable instruments, papers or other valuables of the Tenant; or (b) storing Tenant’s personal property upon Tenant’s vacation or eviction from the Premises. Landlord’s liability under this Lease shall be limited to any insurance, Landlord’s equity interest in the Premises and Tenant’s right to xxxxx rent to the extent expressly provided herein, and any judgments against Landlord shall be satisfied solely out of the proceeds of sale of Landlord’s equity interest in the Premises. No judgment rendered against Landlord shall give rise to any right of execution or levy against Landlord’s other assets. No individual who is Landlord or any member or partner of any joint venture, tenancy in common, firm, partnership or other form of joint ownership that is Landlord, or their heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors, and assigns, shall have any personal liability to Tenant, or to any person claiming under or through Tenant, for any amount or in any capacity. Such exculpation of liability shall be absolute and without exception whatsoever. Nothing in this provision, however, shall bar Tenant from seeking and enforcing any equitable remedy of Tenant against Landlord, but any such equitable remedy that can be cured by the expenditure of money may be enforced personally against Landlord only to the extent of Landlord’s equity interest in the Premises. Upon the sale, transfer, or other conveyance of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Landlord shall be released from all further liability under this Lease accruing subsequent to such sale. In no event shall Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless (i) Landlord breaches any representation or warranty hereunder or fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, (ii) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged default, and (iii) Landlord fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice (or, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within such period, to commence action within such thirty (30)-day period and proceed diligently thereafter to cure such default).

Landlord will notify Tenant of its election within sixty (60) days after the later to occur of the date of receipt of notice from Tenant of such damage or, if an insured loss, the date Landlord receives its final insurance adjustment.
8.04Repair. If Landlord elects to repair and restore the Premises: (i) this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; (ii) such repairs will be made by Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event shall Landlord be required to commence such repairs until such time as Landlord has received the proceeds of all applicable insurance therefor, and further provided, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend for such repairs an amount in excess of the net insurance proceeds received as a result of such damage; and (iii) Rent shall xxxxx proportionately as of the date of the casualty according to the area of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant only during the period and to the extent that the Premises are unfit for use, and are not otherwise used, by Tenant for any purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, there shall be no abatement of Rent. If Landlord elects to repair and restore the Premises, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to restore the interior of the Premises, pursuant to Landlord's standard construction procedures, and reopen fully stocked and staffed in the Premises promptly thereafter. If the Premises are so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot reasonably be completed or are not completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the casualty, Tenant may at its option, terminate this lease upon ninety (90) days written notice to Landlord.

ARTICLE IX

CONDEMNATION

9.01Definition/General. In the event of a taking of all or any part or of any interest in the Premises or any other part of the Property by reason of any exercise of the power of eminent domain, or if there is a transfer thereof or of any interest therein, made in avoidance of an exercise of the power of eminent domain (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Taking"), the following provisions shall apply. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any pending or threatened Taking and of all related proceedings including the settling of any award.
9.02Total Taking. In the event of a Taking of all or substantially all of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such Taking and all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, including its obligation to pay Rent accruing from and after the date of the Taking shall terminate as of the date of such Taking.
9.03Partial Taking. In the event of a Taking of: (i) more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises; (ii) more than thirty percent (30%) of the Property; (iii) more than twenty-five Percent (25%) of the Common Areas (including the parking areas); or (iv) more than one (1) of the accessways serving the Premises without replacement thereof, then Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to the other within sixty (60) days after possession is taken by the condemning authority; provided, however, in the event Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to clause (iii) above, Landlord shall have the right to nullify such election by giving Tenant notice of its election to promptly restore the Common Areas so taken or furnish substitute facilities which are functionally equivalent to or better than the Common Areas so taken and within a reasonable distance from those portions taken.

  9.04 Restoration. In the event this Lease is not canceled as herein provided, then:

9.05Landlord's Option. Landlord shall, at Landlord's option: (i) if possible, restore, if the condemnation award proceeds are available and sufficient to do so, the affected portion and, if applicable, so much of the remainder of the Premises to a complete architectural unit to the extent that they existed on the date physical delivery thereof was initially delivered to Tenant prior to the Commencement Date (in any event subject to then existing Code); and (ii) turn over to Tenant (for restoration purposes by Tenant) that portion of Landlord's award applicable to Tenant's Work initially installed by Tenant and additional Tenant improvements that was awarded to Landlord (rather than to Tenant) and not otherwise received by Tenant from the condemning authority or pursuant to the Section entitled "Award" below for such element of damage. Following the physical delivery of the Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall commence and complete restoration of the Premises to at least the extent of Tenant's Work initially installed by Tenant and additional Tenant improvements. During the period of restoration in the Premises only, the Rent shall be equitably abated in accordance with this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, Landlord may terminate this Lease with no further liability to Tenant in the event that following any taking of any part of the Premises by right of eminent domain, or any conveyance in lieu thereof, any party holding a mortgage, trust deed or similar lien on Landlord's interest in the Premises elects to require the application of an award or payment for the taking or conveyance in lieu thereof to reduce the indebtedness secured by such mortgage, trust deed or similar lien. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord on account of any such acquisition for the value of any unexpired lease term remaining after possession of the Premises is taken.

ARTICLE X

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

  10.01 General Terms.

A.Assignment or Transfer by Tenant. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, or otherwise encumber this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (collectively, “Assignments”), or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant or for any use other than the use described in Section 10.01 hereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld for any reason whatsoever. Any transfer by sale, encumbrance or otherwise, either directly or indirectly, of a majority of Tenant’s stock (if Tenant is a corporation) or a majority of the partnership interest in Tenant (if Tenant is a partnership) or a majority of the membership interest in Tenant (if Tenant is a limited liability company) shall be deemed an “Assignment” within the meaning of this Lease and (i) subject to the requirements of this Article X, and (ii) will require a guaranty of Tenant’s obligations hereunder by such majority owner of the interest in Tenant at Landlord’s sole discretion. The consent by Landlord to any Assignment, or Landlord’s collection or acceptance of Rent from any such assignee, subtenant, or other occupant (collectively “Assignee”), shall not constitute a waiver or release of Tenant of any covenant or obligation contained in this Lease or approval of any Assignment that has not been approved by Landlord in writing. Consent by Landlord in one or more instances to any Assignment shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining Landlord’s consent to any future Assignment.
B.In the event of any Assignment permitted under the terms of this Article X, then: (i) Tenant, and any subsequent assignee who in turn enters into an Assignment, shall each remain fully and primarily liable for all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (regardless of any subsequent amendment or modification of this Lease and regardless of any further Assignments, all of which are hereby deemed to be consented to by Tenant and subsequent Assignees) unless Landlord has agreed, in writing, to release Tenant from such liability in connection with Landlord’s approval of any such Assignment; and (ii) each assignee must agree in writing to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease by agreement satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days after the date that the Lease assignment is executed.
C.Other Requirements. If Tenant desires to enter into an Assignment, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least sixty (60) days in advance of the date on which the proposed Assignment is to take effect, such notice to include the terms and conditions of the proposed Assignment, financial information on the proposed Assignee and other information as Landlord may reasonably require relating to the proposed Assignment and Assignee. Financial information shall demonstrate financial strength of the proposed assignee as strong or stronger that the financial information previously provided by Tenant and Guarantor, as applicable. Further, such assignee shall have: (x) operated or managed (whether directly or through its operating subsidiary(ies)) at least two (2) facilities engaged in the same use (or the number of such facilities operated and/or managed by Guarantor, whichever is less) and (y) has been in the business of operating or managing such facilities for at least three (3) years (or for such period as Guarantor has been in such business, whichever is less). Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with Landlord evaluating any requested Assignment by Tenant, which amount shall be paid within five (5) days after receipt of a billing, therefore.
D.If a Default occurs while the Premises is assigned or sublet, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law, collect, directly from the assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due under the terms of the assignment or subletting and apply the rents against any sums due to Landlord under this Lease. The acceptance of rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or be a consent to the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of the Premises. Landlord may freely assign this Lease in connection with the sale of the Building without Tenant’s consent (but with written notice to Tenant) and Landlord’s assignee shall assume all liability hereunder, including the Security Deposit, and Landlord shall be released from the terms of the lease upon any such assignment.
E.Subletting. Subject to the above, Tenant may: (i) with Landlord's prior written consent, sublet portions of the Building in the ordinary course of Tenant's business to subtenants of such Building for customary uses ancillary to Tenant's permitted use including, pharmacy, physical therapy, and sundry providers; (ii) any such subletting shall be no more than five (5%) percent of the Building and no more than ten percent (10%) of the Building in the aggregate of all subleases; and (iii) subject to Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in each case using a form of sublease reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with Landlord evaluating any requested subletting by Tenant, which amount shall be paid within five (5) days after receipt of a billing, therefore.
10.02Permitted Assignments. Provided no Default exists under the Lease, Tenant may make an Assignment of this Lease without Landlord’s consent, but with written notice delivered to Landlord at least forty-five (45) days in advance of the Assignment, together with financial information on the proposed Assignee, to one of the following entities in connection with one of the following transactions: (i) an Assignment of the Lease to a parent entity provided the parent entity and Tenant collectively have a tangible net worth that is equal or better than that of Tenant as of the Effective Date, or (ii) an Assignment to any corporation or other entity resulting from a merger or consolidation of or with Tenant or an acquisition of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets provided (A) the tenant following such transfer (1) has a tangible net worth that is equal or better than that of Tenant as of the Effective Date, and (2) provides a guarantor of this Lease that has a tangible net worth that is equal or greater than that of Tenant (i) as of the Effective Date and (ii) as of such date of assignment, and such entity executes a guaranty in favor of Landlord in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (B) has received any necessary licenses, permits or approvals necessary to occupy the Premises in accordance with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and (C) Landlord shall be provided upon request financial information reasonably required to demonstrate compliance with the requirements under subsection (A) hereof.

ARTICLE XI

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

  11.01 Default. Each of the following events is a default under the Lease (a “Default”)
A.Failure of Tenant to pay any installment of the Rent or other sum payable to Landlord under this Lease on the date that it is due, and the continuance of that failure for a period of five (5) days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be required to give Tenant notice and opportunity to cure such failure twice in any given twelve (12) month period, including any notice and cure related to 11.01(B) below. This clause will not be construed to permit or allow a delay in paying Rent beyond the due date and will not affect Landlord’s right to impose a Late Charge as permitted in Section 3.03:
B.Failure of Tenant to comply with any term, condition or covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of Rent or other sum of money, and the continuance of that failure for a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant; provided, however, such failure shall not be an Event of Default if due to the nature of the failure it cannot be cured within the above-mentioned thirty (30) day period provided that Tenant has commenced the cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such curative action to completion as reasonably determined by Landlord:
C.Failure of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease to pay its debts as they become due or an admission in writing of inability to pay its debts, or the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
D.The commencement by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease of any case, proceeding or other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property;
E.The commencement of any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and Tenant or any guarantor; (i) fails to obtain a dismissal of such case, proceeding, or other action within sixty (60) days of its commencement; or (ii) converts the case from one chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code to another chapter; or (iii) is the subject of an order of relief that is not fully stayed within seven (7) business days after the entry thereof;
F.Vacancy or abandonment by Tenant of any substantial portion of the Premises or cessation of the use of the Premises for the purpose leased (Tenant may not allow the Premises to “go dark”);
G.A receiver or Trustee shall be appointed for the Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;
H.A default beyond any applicable cure period by any Guarantor under the Guaranty;
I.Any material misrepresentation by Tenant under this Lease or in any written report, notice or communication made pursuant hereto from Tenant to Landlord with respect to Tenant, any Guarantor, or the Premises;
J.The occurrence of any other event or circumstance described as a Default in this Lease.
11.02Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default listed in Section 11.01, and such default is not cured by Tenant within any applicable grace or cure period, Landlord, at any time thereafter, may, if available under applicable state law, at its option, without further notice or putting in default, accelerate the rent to become due for the balance of the Lease Term; proceed for all past due rent, and other damages caused by the default and exercise any or all of the following rights or remedies:
A.Landlord may cancel and terminate this Lease, and this cancellation will be effective immediately, Tenant hereby expressly waiving the legal notice to vacate, if available under applicable state law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have for possession of the Premises or Rent in arrears, resume possession of the Premises by any lawful means and remove Tenant and other occupants and their effects, without being liable for any claim for damages due to the termination of this Lease or termination of possession. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all Rent and loss and damage Landlord may suffer reason of the termination or inability to relet the Premises up to the date termination, in addition to any other liabilities that survive the termination of this Lease.
B.Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any claim for damages due to termination of possession and expel Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof. Landlord may relet the Premises and receive rent from the new occupant. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord monthly, or on demand from time to time, any deficiency that may arise by reason of any such reletting. In determining the amount of the deficiency, professional service fees, broker commissions, property management fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, remodeling expenses, new tenant improvement allowance, and other reasonable costs of reletting will be subtracted from the amount of rent received from the new occupant.
C.Landlord may enter upon the Premises, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any claim for damages due to such entry and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand for expenses that Landlord incurs in performing Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, together with interest thereon at the prime rate stated in the Wall Street Journal plus five percent (5%) per annum from the date spent until paid.
D.Declare the entire balance of all forms of Rent due hereunder for the remainder of the term of this Lease (“Accelerated Rent”) to be due and payable and may collect the same by distress or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that provided Tenant pays the Accelerated Rent within thirty (30) days of written demand (which shall be accompanied by a calculation of the Accelerated Rent in accordance with this Lease), then Landlord agrees that for a period of two (2) years after such payment, Landlord shall (i) seek to mitigate Tenant’s damages by re-letting the Premises to a tenant acceptable to Landlord, and in the event of re-letting during such period, shall refund to Tenant that portion of the Accelerated Rent which has been mitigated as then so determined; or (ii) upon written request of Tenant, shall permit Tenant access to the Premises, through a licensed broker acting on Tenant’s behalf, and shall cooperate with Tenant so that Tenant may mitigate its damages directly by presenting to Landlord, a tenant acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment, who thereafter enters into a lease of the Premises with Landlord, in which event Landlord shall refund to Tenant in the same manner as subsection (i) above. Neither the enforcement or collection by Landlord of those amounts nor the payment by Tenant of those amounts will constitute a waiver by Landlord of any breach, existing or in the future, of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease by Tenant or a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Landlord may have with respect to any breach. In no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord for any indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
E.Unless otherwise provided by applicable state law, no re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord will be construed as an election to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of that intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any reentry, taking possession or reletting, Landlord may, at any time, thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for a previous Default. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies will not preclude pursuit of any other remedies provided by law, nor will pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the provisions in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to declare any Default immediately upon its occurrence, or failure to enforce one or more of Landlord’s remedies, or forbearance by Landlord to enforce one of more Landlord’s remedies upon a Default, will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s remedies for any Default. Pursuit of any one of the remedies will not preclude pursuit by Landlord of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease. The loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of a Default by Tenant under this Lease, or the deficiency from any reletting, will include the reasonable expense of taking possession and any repairs performed by Landlord after a Default by Tenant. If Landlord terminates this Lease at any time for any Default, in addition to other Landlord’s remedies, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of the Default, including the cost of recovering the Premises and the Rent then remain remaining unpaid. Tenant agrees that the statute of limitations for any legal action by Landlord shall not begin to run until the Expiration Date.
F.Upon Tenant’s default, Landlord may demand specific performance or a mandatory injunction requiring Tenant to perform its obligations, or both. In addition, Landlord may cure Tenant’s default and demand of Tenant immediate repayment of all reasonable amounts expended or advanced by Landlord in connection therewith, plus interest at the prime rate stated in the Wall Street Journal plus five percent (5%) per annum. In order to effect any cure requiring work to be performed on the Premises, Landlord may, if it deems necessary, enter the Premises to effect such cure, and Landlord may exercise such remedy without any notice to Tenant if Landlord in its good faith judgment believes it would be injured by failure to take rapid action or if the unperformed obligation of Tenant constitutes an emergency.
G.Landlord shall have an affirmative duty to mitigate Landlord’s damages as required by applicable law; provided, however, that Landlord will not be obligated to incur material expenses or to use any efforts that are in addition to its normal leasing efforts.
H.No right or remedy of Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy will be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy now or hereafter existing under this Lease, at law, in equity or by statute. Landlord will not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from any right or remedy exercised by Landlord, unless it is caused by the sole, joint or concurrent gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
11.03Landlord Default. Tenant shall give written notice of any failure by Landlord to perform any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee, or beneficiary under any deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant in writing. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or the ground lessor, mortgagee, or beneficiary) fails to cure the nonperformance within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice. However, if the nonperformance reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord will not be in default if the cure is commenced within the thirty (30) day period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion. If Landlord shall fail to cure the non-performance within the thirty (30) day period or fails to diligently pursue to completion during such longer period permitted above, Tenant may remedy the nonperformance and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for same within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of written request for reimbursement accompanied by adequate documentation of such expense (a “Default Reimbursement Request”). If Landlord shall fail to make payment to Tenant within such 30-day period on the Default Reimbursement Request, Tenant shall re-deliver the Default Reimbursement Request to Landlord and to Landlord’s lender at lender’s last known address and Landlord shall have an additional thirty (30) days to reimburse Tenant. If Landlord shall fail to reimburse Tenant within the additional thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall then have the right to deduct the cost from subsequent payments of Rent due to the Landlord under this Lease.
11.04Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. As used in this Lease, the term “Landlord” means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the Premises, or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Premises, at the time in question. Each Landlord is obligated to perform the obligations of Landlord under this Lease only during the time such Landlord owns such title or estate. Any Landlord who transfers its title, estate or other interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing on or after the date of the transfer, and Tenant agrees to recognize the transferee as Landlord under this Lease. However, each Landlord shall deliver to its transferee the Security Deposit held by Landlord, to the extent the Security Deposit has not then been applied under the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be observed, honored, or performed by Landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the land and building owned by Landlord comprising the Property for the collection of any judgment (or any other judicial procedures requiring the payment of money by Landlord), and the rents, income, proceeds and insurance policies therefrom or pertaining thereto, it being agreed that Landlord shall not be personally liable (nor shall any entity of Landlord be liable) for any such judgment in excess of such amounts and no other property or assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution, or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.
11.05Bankruptcy Event. Any Event of Default of the type described in the subsection entitled "Bankruptcy" under the Default provisions of this Lease (a "Bankruptcy Event") shall be deemed in material breach of Tenant's obligations hereunder and this Lease shall thereupon automatically terminate. Landlord does, in addition, reserve any and all other remedies provided in this Lease or in the law in connection with any Bankruptcy Event.
A.No default of this Lease by Tenant, either prior to or subsequent to the happening of any Bankruptcy Event, shall be deemed to have been waived unless expressly done so in writing by Landlord.
B.It is understood and agreed that this is a lease of real property as such a lease is described in Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, that Landlord is entitled to all rights and benefits of a landlord thereunder, and that nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or benefit.

ARTICLE XII

Landlord may subordinate this Lease to any future ground Lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises, and advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. Landlord’s right to so subordinate is subject to Landlord providing Tenant with a written Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the future ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee wherein Tenant’s right to peaceable possession of the Premises during the Term will not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default, in which case Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises and recognize the transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. If any ground lessor, beneficiary, or mortgagee elects to have this Lease be superior to its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives Tenant written notice thereof, then this Lease will be deemed superior to the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof.
12.02Signing of Documents. Tenant shall sign and deliver any document that may be requested to evidence any attornment or subordination, or any agreement to attorn or subordinate, as long as the document is consistent with the provisions of Section 12.01.

B.If Tenant does not deliver the written statement to Landlord within the fifteen (15) day period, and such failure continues for another five (5) days after an additional written request, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or lender, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (1) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed excepts as otherwise represented by Landlord; (2) that this Lease has not been terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (3) that not more than one monthly installment of Base Rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (4) there are no claims against Landlord nor any defenses or rights of offset against collection of Rent; and (5) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease.

All financial statements will be confidential and will be used only for the purpose set forth in this Lease.

WHEREAS, __________________, a ___________ limited liability company (herein together with any entity succeeding thereto by merger, consolidation or acquisition of its assets substantially as an entirety, referred to as “Tenant”) has leased from Landlord and Landlord has leased to Tenant a certain parcel of real property together with the building and improvements to be constructed thereon, located at _________________________ (the “Premises”) pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated _________________, between Landlord and Tenant (the “Lease”) (capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease); and

WHEREAS, the Lease also requires that all owners of Tenant enter into a Guaranty in ; proportionate liability as to their individual ownership;

WHEREAS, Nutex Health Inc. has also agreed to be a Corporate Guarantor; and

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor(s) is an inducement to Landlord to acquire the Premises and continue with the Lease beyond Landlord’s Due Diligence period;

Guarantor also agrees to pay to Landlord such further reasonable and actual amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the cost and expense actually incurred in collecting such sums, or any part thereof, or of otherwise enforcing this Guaranty, including without limitation, in any case, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.

2. The obligations, covenants, agreements, and duties of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the following, although without notice to or the further consent of Guarantor:

(c) any assignment or reassignment of the Lease or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof;

(d) the modification or amendment, whether material or otherwise, of any of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease, whether the same be in the form of a new agreement or the modification or amendment of the existing Lease (any of the foregoing being a “Modification”), or of Guarantor under this Guaranty; provided, however, that (unless such Modification is required by law or on account of bankruptcy or insolvency) no Modification which has the effect of increasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be effective against Guarantor to the extent of such increase unless Guarantor shall be a party to, or consent to, such Modification; provided, further, that if any Modification is made without such consent of Guarantor, such Modification shall be ineffective as against Guarantor only to the extent the same shall increase the obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty, it being expressly agreed that (even if such Modification has the effect of increasing the likelihood of a default by Tenant under the Lease) Guarantor shall remain liable to the full extent of this Guaranty as if such Modification had not been made;

(e) the doing or the omission of any of the acts (including, without limitation, the giving of any consent referred to therein) referred to in the Lease or this Guaranty;

(f) any failure, omission or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to Landlord in or by the Lease or this Guaranty, or any action on the part of Landlord granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever (except to the extent, if any, that such indulgence shall have been expressly granted by Landlord);

(k) any action or inaction by Landlord which results in any impairment or destruction of any subrogation rights of Guarantors or any rights of Guarantors to proceed against Tenant for reimbursement.

3. In the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease by Tenant or Tenant’s receiver pursuant to any law affecting creditor’s rights, Guarantor will, and does hereby (without the necessity of any further agreement or act) assume all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under or arising out of the Lease, to the same extent as if Guarantor had been originally named the lessee under the Lease, and there had been no such rejection or disaffirmance; the Guarantor will confirm such assumption in writing at the request of Landlord, upon or after such rejection or disaffirmance. Guarantor, upon such assumption, shall have all rights of Tenant under the Lease and shall be entitled to a new lease on all of the terms and conditions of the Lease with respect to the unexpired portion of the Lease (to the extent permitted by law). Guarantor will execute and deliver such documents as Landlord may from time to time reasonably require evidencing such assumption, to confirm this Guaranty and to certify that Guarantor is not in default hereunder.

Should audited or reviewed financial statements not be available when requested, then Personal Guarantor may provide financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and certified by Personal Guarantor, fairly, accurately and completely presenting the financial condition of such Personal Guarantor as of the date of such statement(s).  Furthermore, upon Landlord’s request no less than thirty (30) days following the filing of Personal Guarantor’s Federal Income Tax Returns, Personal Guarantor shall provide Landlord with true and correct copies of same together with the most recently-prepared financial statements audited or reviewed by a CPA in accordance with GAAP available at that time, which shall not offset against the once per year limitation. Should audited or reviewed financial statements not be available at that time, then Personal Guarantor may provide financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and certified by Personal Guarantor.

8. Guarantor waives any right it may have (a) to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or against any other party or (b) to require Landlord to pursue any remedy within the power of the Landlord and Guarantor agrees that all of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease or under any other instrument or agreement, and that a separate action may be brought against Guarantor whether or not an action is commenced against Tenant under any thereof.

Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process in any such action or proceeding to Guarantor at its address specified in Section 9. Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner permitted by law. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of Landlord to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Landlord to bring any action or proceeding against Guarantor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

11.  Guarantor hereby consents to, and no further consent by Guarantor shall be required for, (i) any assignment of rights of Landlord hereunder, in whole or in part, either as collateral security for obligations of Landlord secured by a lien on the Premises or in connection with the sale of the Premises or any interest therein or (ii) any assignment of the rights of Landlord under the Lease.

12. In case any one or more of the provisions hereof or of the Lease shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Guaranty shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

13. Within ten (10) days following the merger of Guarantor into another corporation, or the consolidation of Guarantor with one or more other corporations or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Guarantor to one or more other entities, the surviving entity or transferee of assets, as the case may be, shall deliver to Landlord an acknowledged instrument in recordable form assuming all obligations, covenants and responsibilities of Guarantor hereunder and under this Guaranty.

14. Landlord will accept performance by Guarantor of any of the obligations guaranteed under the Lease as if such performance had been made by Tenant; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to be an agreement by Landlord to allow access to the Premises in order to cure any default, it being acknowledged that any such right of access shall be obtained by Guarantor pursuant to a separate agreement with Tenant (and Landlord agrees to recognize any such rights of access which are so granted, provided that Landlord shall have received appropriate written notice thereof).

15. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective assigns.

16. All references to currency shall refer to the currency of the United States of America.

17. It is the intention of the parties that all members of Tenant, as same exist from time to time during the Term of the Lease, shall serve as guarantors of the Lease. Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord an updated schedule of such pro rata shares of the members of Tenant within ten (10) days of any change in such shares, and to the extent that any new member is not a guarantor, to have such party execute a guaranty consistent with the terms of this Guaranty within ten (10) days of any change in such shares. If there should be a claim against Tenant for which the liability of the Guarantors is sought hereunder, Landlord agrees to notify each Guarantor of such claim at the last address for such guarantor as provided to Landlord (or if none, then notice shall be provided to Tenant’s address for such person). In the event that Landlord shall be required to enforce this Guaranty, then provided that Landlord is able to obtain an enforceable judgment against each Personal Guarantor for an amount not in excess of 125% of such personal guarantor’s prorata share, which is thereafter fully collectible with reasonable diligence by Landlord, then Landlord shall limit the liability of each Personal Guarantor to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of their prorata share of such aggregate amount in accordance with the list attached hereto, as same may be provided in updated form to Landlord from time to time. In the event that such debt or any portion thereof is not collectible from any Personal Guarantor, then such deficit amount shall be assessed and collected from the Corporate Guarantor. Each Guarantor consents to the Landlord’s revision of prorata shares based upon the information provided to Landlord by Tenant, and agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to rely upon such information for all purposes hereunder, and Landlord shall have no duty to investigate or to make inquiry regarding any change in such information.

This Guaranty is being executed as a document under seal on the date set forth above.

ADDENDUM E

CONSTRUCTION RIDER

Article I. General

A. Pursuant to the Lease and this Construction Rider, Landlord shall construct the improvements on the Property (the “Improvements”). The Base Rent paid annually under the Lease (the “Annual Minimum Rent”) and the Base Rent payable under the Lease on a monthly basis (the “Monthly Base Rent”), shall be determined by applying a ______ percent capitalization rate to the Total Building Costs (defined below).

For example, in the event the Total Building Costs amount to $5,000,000.00, then the initial Annual Minimum Rent and Monthly Base Rent shall be as follows:

1.  $5,000,000.00 x 0.09 (9.005% cap rate) = $450,000.00 Annual Minimum Rent

2.  $450,000.00 divided by 12 = $37,500.00 Monthly Base Rent.

B. Allowable costs include but are not limited to broker fees, land cost, reasonable legal, general contractor fees, engineering, architectural, site work, hard costs of materials, sub-contractors’ and development fees, including without limitation, impact fees and permit fees, as further refined herein. Prior to execution of the Lease Commencement Certificate as set forth in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant will calculate and agree upon the Total Building Costs as further set forth in this Construction Rider.

C.  It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that the design and construction of the Improvements be “open book”. Landlord and Tenant will mutually discuss and approve contractors, budgets, plans and expenditures as more specifically set forth in this Construction Rider.

D. Subject to the provisions below, Landlord shall proceed to construct the Improvements upon the Premises in substantial compliance with the final approved Plans and Specifications (defined below).

a.The “Commencement Date” shall mean that date which is the earlier of (i) the date Tenant shall commence business in the Premises; or (ii) the date of Substantial Completion. “Substantial Completion” shall mean the date that the Landlord (a) has substantially performed all of the work related to the Improvements required to be performed by Landlord under this Construction Rider, other than minor "punch-list" type items and adjustments which do not materially interfere with Tenant's access to or use of the Premises, and (b) has received all governmental approvals with respect to the Improvements required for occupancy of the Premises, including a permanent unconditional certificate of occupancy permitting Tenant’s occupancy of the entire Premises.
1.Landlord’s architect shall determine when Substantial Completion of the Improvements has occurred. When Landlord has Substantially Completed the Improvements, Landlord and Landlord’s architect, upon consultation with Tenant, shall generate a punch list of all asserted defects or incomplete work items, if any, in Landlord’s construction of the Improvements (the “Punch List”). The creation or existence of the Punch List, however, will not cause the Improvements to be other than Substantially Complete. Landlord shall exercise due diligence in correcting or completing, as applicable, all items on the Punch List that constitute valid defects or incomplete work items, respectively, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Substantial Completion date. Any disagreement that may arise between Landlord and Tenant with respect to whether an item on the Punch List constitutes a valid defect or incomplete work item shall be conclusively resolved by the decision of Landlord’s architect. Any and all such defects or incomplete work items not set forth in the Punch List shall be conclusively deemed to be waived by Tenant and Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises then completed shall be conclusively deemed to constitute Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises and the Building.
2.In the event the local jurisdiction issues a temporary certificate of occupancy and such temporary certificate of occupancy is not subject to conditions requiring Landlord to complete further work or obtain further permits or approvals, Tenant agrees that the delivery by Landlord of a temporary certificate of occupancy shall satisfy Landlord's obligation in Section E above; provided Landlord uses its best efforts to promptly obtain the final certificate of occupancy and in all events delivers the same to Tenant within thirty (30) days or, if the final certificate of occupancy cannot reasonably be obtained within such period, to commence efforts to obtain the final certificate of occupancy within such thirty (30) day period and proceed diligently thereafter to obtain the final certificate of occupancy.
b.In the event of any disputes as to work performed or required to be performed by Landlord, the certificate of the Architect (defined below) or Contractor (defined below) shall be conclusive. By occupying the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same and to have acknowledged that the same fully comply with Landlord’s covenants and obligations under this Lease and Construction Rider. Tenant's occupancy of the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date, even for the purpose of installing Tenant's furniture and equipment (see Section 2.03 of the Lease concerning Tenant’s Early Occupancy Period which shall not trigger the payment of Rent), is subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease (as if that first date of occupancy were the Commencement Date).
c.The insurance requirements under the Lease and the indemnity requirements under the Lease shall apply during the construction period contemplated in this Construction Rider.

E. The Landlord and Tenant shall work together to select a mutually agreeable architect (the “Architect”) to draw up preliminary Plans and Specifications during the Due Diligence Period under Section 2.05 of the Lease which shall be approved by both Landlord and Tenant in writing and will be attached hereto as Exhibit “C” to the Lease (Schedule 1 to this amendment) (the “Preliminary Plans and Specifications”). All plans, diagrams, schedules, specifications, and other data relating to Tenant’s preferences shall include both the core and shell or base building work (the “Shell Work”) and the remainder of the work to complete the tenant improvements (the “Finish Out Work”). The work to be done by Landlord shall be limited to that described in the final plans and specifications which shall have been approved by Landlord and Tenant in writing (the “Final Plans and Specifications”), subject to Change Orders as more set forth and specifically defined and discussed herein. Tenant shall not have a right to withhold approval of the Final Plans and Specifications if said plans and specifications do not materially deviate from the Preliminary Plans and Specifications. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Final Plans and Specifications, then they shall implement the Dispute Resolution procedure set forth in Section 14.26 of the Lease with the opinion of the Architect creating a presumption as to the proper resolution of the disputed part of the Final Plans and Specification.

The Finish Out Work shall include, but not be limited to:

1.Adequate electrical service, panel, wiring and fixtures.
2.Interior partitions, including finishing, electrical wiring, and connections within the Premises.
3.lights in adequate number to provide sufficient lighting throughout the Premises; plus light covers and special hung or furred ceilings.
4.Interior painting.
5.Plumbing fixtures within the Premises - supply lines to be insulated.
6.Ceiling and insulation.
7.Heating, air conditioning and ventilating equipment, including electrical and gas hook-up, duct work and roof penetrations.
8.Floor covering.
9.All signs.

I. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Lease.

Article II. Planning and Design

A. Tenant, through its representatives, consultants and auditors will have full and complete access, upon reasonable notice to Landlord, at Landlord’s principal place of business or the construction site, as Landlord may designate, to all books, records and contracts relating to the construction of the Building and improvements to the Premises, including, without limitation, all plans, drawings, budgets, contracts, including without limitation, construction and architectural contracts, schedules, analyses, studies and reports that are related to and have an impact of the design and construction of the Building and improvements to the Premises and related improvements, provided, however, that Tenant shall not have access to Landlord’s internal communications or any books or records that do not pertain directly to the Lease or construction of the Building or improvements to the Premises. Landlord agrees to keep and maintain and make available to Tenant reasonable records related to the construction of the Building and improvements to the Premises so as to allow the parties to fairly and accurately determine and monitor the Total Building Costs, as defined below.

B. With respect to the planning, design and construction of the Building, Landlord hereby designates ________________ as “Landlord’s Representative” and Tenant hereby designates Xxxxxx Xx, M.D. as “Tenant’s Representative.” Tenant hereby confirms that Tenant’s Representative has full authority to act on behalf of and to bind Tenant with respect to all matters pertaining to the planning, design and construction of the Building. Landlord hereby confirms that Landlord’s Representative has full authority to act on behalf of and to bind Landlord with respect to all matters pertaining to the planning, design and construction of the Building. Either party may change its designated representative upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the other party.

C. Landlord and Tenant shall collaborate and cooperate jointly with the Architect with respect to the Preliminary Plans and Specifications, as well as the Final Plans and Specifications, to ensure the construction of the Building and improvements to the Premises reasonably accommodate Tenant’s intended use of the Premises and the medical services to be provided therein. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in the design and installation of the Building’s electrical and mechanical systems, water and sewer systems, data systems, entrance locations, the definition of Building common and exclusive use areas, signage plans and parking accessibility. Tenant has the right to review and comment at each step of the design work as follows. “Plan Submittal” shall mean any plan submittal to any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building or Premises. After Tenant receives a Plan Submittal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written comments. The amount of time available for the Tenant’s review of, and response to, each Plan Submittal shall be specifically agreed upon by the Landlord and established in the Construction Schedule (defined below) and shall take into consideration the content and substance of each Plan Submittal. Landlord shall consider every Tenant comment and incorporate into any future Plan Submittals those comments that Landlord approves after reasonably considering and discussing with the Tenant such comments in good faith.

D. A detailed and comprehensive preliminary schedule for the construction of the Building shall be mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant in writing (as updated from time to time as provided herein, the "Construction Schedule"). Landlord may modify and update the Construction Schedule in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Tenant shall have the right to review and approve any changes or updates to the Construction Schedule that adversely modify Tenant's rights or obligations regarding the Lease and the construction of the Building or the Total Building Costs, including the Tenant's review and comment rights and obligations. An agreed upon change to the Construction Schedule may also modify the date to commence or complete construction as set forth in Section 2.02 of the Lease.

Article III. Estimate

A. Landlord will select a general contractor subject to the written consent of Tenant which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (the “Contractor”) for the construction of the Building. The parties agree that Theory Construction shall be the preferred contractor. Landlord shall obtain from Contractor a detailed estimate of the anticipated Total Building Costs (the “Estimate”). “Total Building Costs” means the total of all hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord to design and construct the Building and complete the improvements to the Premises pursuant to the Final Plans and Specifications and any properly approved Change Orders (defined below) to be determined by the Tenant and Landlord cooperatively and in good faith (including associated site improvements on the Land), obtain all necessary utilities and governmental approvals and permits, including, but not limited to, building permits, zoning permits, use permits and other licenses of governmental authorities, pay reasonable legal fees and commissions, and otherwise generally develop the Premises, and including any land cost allocation and fees, but excluding any xxxx-up or profit of any kind to Landlord or any of its affiliates (except an affiliate of Landlord that serves a Contractor for the Project in which even standard profit and overhead may be included as it would for any other contractor), Landlord’s general and administrative costs in excess of five percent (5%) (not including administration costs charged by the general contractor, which shall be commercially reasonable for the area in which the Premises are located), or any infrastructure or offsite work that is not directly attributable to the design and construction of the Premises. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to obtain cost-effective pricing for all services and materials used in the design and construction of the Premises as a first class, state of the art medical facility as depicted on the Final Plans and Specifications. Total Building Costs shall include any and all government impose fees or costs, impact fees, unit connection fees, utility fees, onsite and offsite improvements, access improvements and connections, site development, and all costs associated with developing the Property, constructing the Building and all other improvements necessary for Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises.

B. Landlord may provide the Estimate to Tenant prior to execution of this Lease. In such event, upon executing this Lease, Tenant will be deemed to have approved the Estimate upon execution of this Lease.

If the Estimate has not been provided prior to execution of this Lease, then the Landlord shall provide to the Tenant a preliminary budget setting forth a projection of costs for completion of the Project prior to execution of this Lease. A copy of that budget shall be attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and referred to as the “Preliminary Budget”. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the actual cost of construction may deviate materially from the Preliminary Budget based upon many factors, including market conditions, cost of materials, etc. Accordingly, provided that the anticipated cost of construction (as set forth in the Estimate) does not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of such Preliminary Budget (which shall be based upon the Preliminary Site Plan and the Plans approved by the parties), then the parties shall complete the Project in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Any changes in the Preliminary Site Plan or Plans requested by Tenant shall be outside and in addition to the one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) reflected herein. If the Estimate exceeds one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Preliminary Budget except as a result of revisions or additions requested by the Tenant, Tenant shall have until ten (10) business days following receipt of the Estimate to perform, at Tenant’s sole cost, any review and appraisals deemed necessary to evaluate the Estimate. If Tenant disapproves of the Estimate, Tenant shall deliver written notice of such disapproval to Landlord within the ten (10) business day period provided herein identifying the portion of the Estimate with objectionable proposed Total Building Costs and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work out any disagreements concerning the Estimate. If the parties cannot resolve their dispute with respect to the Estimate, then Landlord may revise the Estimate to take into account any possible value engineering or other cost reductions in the Plans and submit a revised Estimate to the Tenant. If such Estimate exceeds one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Preliminary Budget (except as a result of revisions or additions requested by the Tenant), the Estimate shall be subject to Tenant’s approval. If the parties cannot agree upon the Estimate and Landlord does not agree to absorb any costs in excess of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Preliminary Budget, then Tenant may terminate this Agreement provided that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days of invoices for all expenses incurred by Landlord related to its due diligence and construction estimates, including architectural and engineering plans. If the Estimate is approved, Tenant shall have irrevocably approved the Estimate for all purposes necessary hereunder and the final Estimate shall be attached to this Construction Rider as Schedule

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Estimate will be subject to final pricing and determination of any specific site conditions. Accordingly, the parties agree that any increase not in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Estimate shall not require further approval of the parties but shall remain subject to the provisions regarding accounting and other information contained in this Lease. Likewise, any increase from the Estimate resulting from change orders requested by Tenant after the initial Plans shall not result in any termination right in favor of Tenant or require any approval of Tenant except as otherwise provided herein. Landlord shall not be required to agree to any change in the approved Plans or to incur any additional expense for construction of the Premises in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Estimate. Any cost in excess of the Estimate shall increase the Base Rents under the Lease as reflective of a cap rate of nine and one-quarter percent (9.25%). Any increase beyond such ten percent (10%) shall be at Landlord’s sole discretion.

C. Landlord and Tenant agree that (i) all categories of costs set forth on the Estimate will be included in the Total Building Costs; and (ii) the contingency amount set forth on the Estimate may be spent at Landlord’s reasonable discretion in connection with the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Construction Rider for any cost that is not adequately covered by the amount available in any other budget category.

Article IV. Construction Contract

A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, Landlord shall negotiate a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) construction contract with the Contractor for the construction and installation of the Building and the improvements to the Premises in accordance with the Final Plans and Specifications and may enter into such contract upon terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord (“Construction Contract”). If the Total Building Costs set forth in the Construction Contract exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Total Building Costs set forth in the Estimate, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work out any disagreements concerning the discrepancy. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree, then they shall implement the Dispute Resolution procedure set forth in Section 14.26 of the Lease with the opinion of the Architect creating a presumption as to the proper allocation of the cost.

B. The Construction Contract shall provide that the Contractor shall warrant that the construction of the Premises shall be performed in accordance with the Final Plans and Specifications, applicable Change Orders and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. As part of the Construction Contract, Landlord shall obtain warranties with respect to the construction of the Building and improvements to the Premises of at least one (1) year, beginning on the date of Substantial Completion, and Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain warranties from various suppliers and subcontractors relating to components and systems incorporated into the Building and the improvements to the Premises (the length of each warranty as provided in the respective warranties, as the same may be extended under applicable law, is referred to herein as the “Warranty Period”). Landlord shall provide Tenant with information and materials reasonably requested by Tenant relating to the costs associated with development of the Building and improvements to the Premises, including, but not limited to, all bids, contracts and receipts relating to construction of the Premises and the GMP contained in the Construction Contract.

C. The Building and all other improvements on the Land shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, of new and good quality materials, in accordance with the Final Plans and Specifications including the adherence to tolerances in dimensions in accordance with the standards for such construction, and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Except as to “Nondiscretionary Change Orders” (as defined below), Landlord shall not deviate in any material respect from the Final Plans and Specifications that would adversely impact Tenant, the Premises or Total Building Costs, without the prior written approval of Tenant (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) unless such deviation is required by code, a governmental authority, or Landlord’s insurance carrier. If any changes to the Final Plans and Specifications required by any applicable governmental entity or insurance coverage would materially affect the Building, then Architect shall submit such changes to Landlord (and Tenant, if such change would adversely impact Tenant, the Premises or Total Building Costs) for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon completion of the Premises, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a set of as-built plans of the Premises, the cost of which will be included in Total Building Costs. Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant has thoroughly inspected the Premises and of Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises “as is”, and that Tenant further waives all representations and warranties on the part of Landlord, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, all warranties that the Premises are free from defects or deficiencies, whether hidden or apparent, and all warranties under applicable state law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, upon Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees to assume responsibility and liability for the condition of the Premises to the fullest extent allowed under applicable state law. Tenant hereby acknowledges that: (i) the foregoing waivers and disclaimers have been brought to the attention of Tenant; (ii) the foregoing waivers and disclaimers have been read and are understood by Tenant; and (iii) the agreement of Tenant with and to all of the terms and conditions of these waivers and disclaimers is an integral part of this Lease, without which this Lease would not have been entered into by Landlord.

D. The Total Building Costs shall be adjusted by Change Orders as follows. Any changes proposed to the Final Plans and Specifications by Tenant at any time shall require Landlord’s prior written approval and any proposed changes to the Final Plans and Specifications by Landlord shall require Tenant’s prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), all of such changes and approvals shall be evidenced by a written “Change Order” executed by both Landlord and Tenant. Further, after the parties approve the Final Plans and Specifications and a building permit for the Building is issued, any further changes to the Final Plans and Specifications, other than a Nondiscretionary Change Order, shall require the prior written approval of Tenant and Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) which proposed changes shall be evidenced by Change Order if made after the Construction Contract has been executed. If Tenant or Landlord desires any change in the Final Plans and Specifications relating to the Building after the Construction Contract has been entered into, such changes may only be requested by the delivery to the other party of a proposed written Change Order specifically setting forth the requested change. A Change Order shall not be considered authorized by Tenant unless approved in writing by Tenant’s Representative. Landlord shall have ten (10) business days from the receipt of a proposed Tenant-initiated Change Order to provide Tenant with the Architect’s and/or Contractor’s disapproval of the proposed change stating the reason(s) for such disapproval, or if the Architect and/or Contractor approves the proposed change, the following items: (A) a summary of any increase or decrease in the cost caused by such change (the “Change Order Cost”) and (B) a statement of the number of days of any delay caused by such proposed change (the “Change Order Delay”). Tenant shall then have ten (10) business days after receipt to approve the Change Order Cost and the Change Order Delay. If Tenant approves these items, Landlord shall promptly execute the Change Order and cause the appropriate changes to the Final Plans and Specifications to be made. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord within said ten (10) business day period, the Change Order Cost and the Change Order Delay shall be deemed disapproved by Tenant and Landlord shall have no further obligation to perform any work set forth in the proposed Change Order. The Change Order Cost shall include all costs associated with the Change Order, including, without limitation, architectural fees, engineering fees and construction costs, as conclusively determined by the Architect and the Contractor, respectively, and shall include any costs or fees charged by the Contractor under the Contract. The Change Order Delay shall include all delays caused by implementation of the Change Order, including, without limitation, all design and construction delays, as conclusively determined by the Architect and the Contractor, respectively. Except as provided below, the Change Order Cost and Change Order Delay expense, if any, shall be paid by Landlord and included, or adjusted, as applicable, as part of the Total Building Costs. For purposes of determining Base Rent below, Total Building Costs shall be increased by the aggregate amount of all Change Orders incorporated into the Premises that are approved in writing by Tenant or required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant requests Change Orders which exceed ten percent (10%) of the Estimate, then Landlord may reject any such Change Order unless Tenant agrees to pay the expense associated with such change as a condition to and at the time of approval by Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall escrow the change expense and apply such amount to completion of such change at the time that such change is implemented.

The Final Plans and Specifications, as well as Total Building Costs, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time to reflect changed costs due to Plans and Specifications revisions, including necessary revisions to the Final Plans and Specifications approved by Landlord and Tenant, and to address unanticipated requirements, inconsistencies, errors or omissions in the design of Building or other improvements, change orders or other cost increases for completion of the Building and other improvements, in each case as approved by Landlord and Tenant in writing, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; except that to the extent that any such changes, deletions or additions are required in order to complete the Building or other improvements in accordance with applicable codes, laws or regulations (and are not discretionary)(each referred to as a “Nondiscretionary Change Order”), then Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of such change and the resulting increase in the Total Building Costs, which shall not require Tenant approval.

E. On a monthly basis until the construction of the Premises is completed and the final Total Building Costs are delivered to Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a monthly job cost report (the “Job Cost Report”) that includes all invoices for any costs (including both hard and soft costs) includible in the Total Building Costs that are received by Landlord in the prior calendar month as well as any payments that are made during that prior calendar month. In addition, Landlord shall provide (or cause to be provided) to the Tenant monthly status and other progress reports regarding the construction of the Premises in a form reasonably acceptable to the Tenant, containing at a minimum: (A) a reasonably detailed description of the status of construction progress; (B) the current approved budget, together with a comparison of the current budget to Total Building Costs actually incurred through the date of the report and a reasonably detailed explanation of all variances from the current approved budget; (C) the current Construction Schedule, together with a comparison of the Construction Schedule to work actually completed through the date of the report and a reasonably detailed explanation of all variances from the Construction Schedule; (D) the then current estimate of the costs required to complete the construction of the Premises; and (E) copies of such other reports or information regarding the construction of the Premises that Landlord provides to its lenders on a periodic basis (the “Monthly Status Report”).

F. In order to fully participate and have meaningful input in the development process and to be involved and informed during all phases of the construction of the Building and the Premises, Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to attend all Development Meetings. “Development Meetings” shall mean meetings where material decisions are being made regarding all or any portion of the Building or improvements to the Premises, which shall include, without limitation, meetings and briefings as well as teleconferences or video conferences with governmental authorities, the Architect, Contractor or any other contractors, subcontractors or consultants engaged with regard to the construction of the Building where material decisions are being made. Tenant shall also have the right, at its option to attend any scheduled progress meetings, walk throughs and any other meetings with the Architect, the Contractor and Tenant to discuss the progress of the construction of the Building (the “Reporting Meetings”). The Development Meetings and the Reporting Meetings shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Meetings”. The Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable prior notice (written or telephonic) of all Meetings. Tenant shall designate in writing the person or persons appointed by Tenant to attend the Meetings and such designated party shall be entitled to be present at and to participate in the discussions during all Meetings; but Landlord may conduct the Meetings even if Tenant’s appointees are not present. Tenant or its agents shall have the right at any and all reasonable times to conduct inspections, tests, surveys and reports of work in progress (“Inspections”) for the purpose of reviewing whether the Premises is being constructed in accordance with the Final Plans and Specifications, as amended by any approved Change Orders or other agreed upon changes.

OPTION TO PURCHASE AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

1. Option. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the owners of the membership interests in Tenant, or a bona fide entity formed by the owners of the membership interests in Tenant (the “Tenant Owners”) shall have the option to purchase the Property (“Option”) from Landlord anytime during the first ___________months of the Term of this Lease after the Commencement Date as defined in the Lease, for a purchase price calculated based upon a ________ percent capitalization rate applied to Landlord’s total cost to develop the Property including finish out construction for the entire Building and regardless of whether such amount is greater than or exceeds the amount or amounts agreed to by the parties under the Construction Rider. (“Purchase Price”). The Option shall be the sole and exclusive right of the initial Tenant Owners, and such right shall not be available to any successors or assigns of Tenant Owners.

2. Exercise of Option. To exercise the Option, Tenant Owners shall deliver written notice of their election to exercise the Option prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the Commencement Date (the “Option Exercise Period”), in accordance with the provisions of this Lease for the manner of giving notice.

Landlord and Tenant Owners shall enter into a written agreement to purchase the Property at that time based upon the terms set forth herein. The written agreement shall provide that Tenant Owners pay for a deposit of _________________________________ Dollars (“Option Deposit”) which shall be held and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of said agreement and which amount shall be over and above the Security Deposit or other amounts held by Landlord pursuant to the Lease. Tenant shall have no due diligence or inspection period under the Option. In the event that the Tenant Owners do not exercise the Option within the time period set forth above, the Option shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and the Landlord will be free to sell the Property unencumbered by the Option, provided, however, that the Property shall thereafter be subject to the ROFR described in Section 4 below.

3. Purchase Terms. Unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing, closing of the purchase of the Building shall occur within six (6) months of Tenant Owner’s exercise of its Option. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any title insurance and/or survey, if any. Except for title insurance as referenced above, each party shall be responsible for the respective closing costs customarily applicable to a purchaser or seller in the State of _________. Landlord shall not pay any commissions related to the sale of the Property to the Tenant Owners and Tenant and Tenant Owners agree to indemnify Landlord from any broker claims to commissions in connection with the Option or ROFO.

If Closing does not take place within the time period set forth above, and if such delay is caused by Tenant Owner’s default in the due and timely performance of any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord may, at its option (a) terminate this Option Agreement by written notice to Tenant Owners and receive the Option Deposit from Escrow Agent, as well as any interest earned thereon, or (b) proceed with this Option Agreement and sell the Property pursuant to this Option Agreement, or (c) pursue a suit for specific performance, if available under applicable state law. In the event Landlord elects to terminate the purchase, the Option will terminate, and Landlord will be free to sell the Property unencumbered by the Option or obligation to sell the Property to Tenant Owners pursuant to the written agreement to purchase the Property, including the ROFR described in Section 4 below.

4. Right of First Refusal. So long as Tenant is not in material default of the Lease beyond any notice or cure periods and provided Tenant did not fail to close after exercising the Option, Tenant Owners shall have a right of first refusal in connection with any bona fide offer after the expiration of the Option Exercise Period by a third party to purchase the Property from Landlord (the “ROFR”). Promptly upon receipt of any such third party offer and prior to accepting any such offer, Landlord shall give written notice of the same to Tenant. Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) business days after Tenant’s receipt of such notice from Landlord, Tenant Owners shall have the right to purchase the Property upon the identical terms and conditions set forth in the third-party offer. Tenant Owners’ failure to give Landlord written notice of Tenant Owners’ exercise of the ROFR within said fifteen (15) business day period shall entitle Landlord to proceed with the consummation of the third party offer and the ROFR shall automatically terminate. In the event Tenant Owners properly exercise their ROFO, Landlord and Tenant Owners shall proceed with the execution of a purchase agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth in the third-party offer, with a closing date equal to or earlier than that of the third-party offer. Upon termination of the Lease, the ROFR granted herein shall cease. Tenant's ROFR shall not apply to: (i) a foreclosing lender or (ii) a purchase under foreclosure or through deed in lieu of foreclosure. A third-party offer shall mean a letter of intent, purchase and sale agreement or similar instrument setting forth the material terms and conditions under which a third party which is not an affiliate of Landlord proposes to enter into a purchase of all or a portion of the Premises. Transfer by Landlord of the Property to an affiliate, subsidiary or other entity owned or controlled by Landlord shall not be a third-party offer.

In the event that (i) Tenant does not timely provide the purchase notice, (ii) Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a purchase agreement using standard ___________ agreement forms, or (iii) following execution of the purchase agreement, the transaction that is the subject thereof is not consummated on or before the Closing Date as a result of a default by Tenant in its obligations under the purchase agreement, then Landlord shall be free to sell the Property to a third party who submitted an offer on terms as may be agreed upon by Landlord.

The ROFR shall apply from the date of Landlord’s acquisition of the Property, meaning that, if Landlord receives a third party offer at any time, thereafter, including before or during the Option Exercise Period, Tenant shall be required to act under this ROFR and a sale to a third party pursuant to this Section 4 shall extinguish Tenant’s rights to the Option.

5.  Assignment. Tenant Owners may not assign the Option or the ROFR to any other party without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld at Landlord’s sole discretion.

6. In the event Tenant purchases the Property pursuant to this addendum, the Lease shall terminate, and Landlord shall have no further liability thereunder and be fully released therefrom.
