The use of the Common Areas shall be for the non-exclusive use of Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents, suppliers, customers and patrons, in common with Landlord and all other tenants of the Property and all such other persons to whom Landlord has previously granted, or may hereinafter grant, rights of usage; provided that such nonexclusive use shall be expressly subject to such reasonable rules and regulations which may be adopted by the Landlord from time to time, so long as such rules and regulations do not adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Premises and are uniformly enforced. Tenant shall not be entitled to use the Common Areas for storage of goods, vehicles, refuse or any other items. Landlord reserves the right to alter, modify, enlarge, diminish, reduce or eliminate the Common Areas from time to time in its sole discretion; provided, however, it does not unreasonably and materially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or access to and from the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to modify Common Areas, in order to implement new, necessary security measures; provided, however, it does not unreasonably and materially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or access to and from the Premises. If Tenant shall use any of the Common Areas for storage of any items, Tenant shall pay all fines imposed upon either Landlord or Tenant by any fire, building or other regulatory body, and Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord to clear and clean the Common Areas and dispose of such items, including but not limited to, a disposal fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each pallet or other container and fifty dollars ($50.00) for each drum, together with any additional costs for testing and special disposal, if required.
2. | TERM |
2.1. Term. The term of the Lease shall be for ten (10) years and three (3) months beginning on the Commencement Date (“Term”), unless extended or sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease. If the last day of the Term shall fall on other than the last day of a calendar month, the Term shall be extended so as to end on the last day of such calendar month. The term “Lease Year” as used herein shall mean any 365-consecutive-day period beginning on the Commencement Date, or first day of the calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date if the Commencement Date falls on other than the first day of a calendar month, or any anniversary thereafter.

The term “Commencement Date” as used herein shall mean the earlier of (i) the date the Premises are Ready For Occupancy (as defined in Exhibit “B” attached hereto), or (ii) the date that Tenant, or any person with the consent of Tenant, occupies all or any part of Premises for the purpose of conducting business.

3. | RENT |
3.1. Rent. Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United States in advance on the first day of each month after the Commencement Date. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as base rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises (156,535 square feet, excluding the Basement Space), without notice or demand and without abatement, deduction, offset or set off, the sums set forth on Exhibit “A-1” attached hereto. Tenant shall not be responsible for paying Base Rent with respect to the Basement Space. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the calendar month involved. Once the Commencement Date has been determined and the measured square footage of the Premises determined, the Declaration of Lease Commencement attached as Exhibit “D” shall also have as an exhibit the foregoing Base Rent schedule with the actual dates inserted in lieu of the month numbers and the measured square footage used to calculate the actual Base Rent.
3.2. Place of Payment. All payments under this Lease to be made by Tenant to Landlord shall be made payable to, and mailed or personally delivered to Landlord at the following address or such other address(es) which Landlord may notify Tenant from time to time in writing: c/o Quadrelle Realty Services, Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.
3.3. Late Payment. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent (as defined in Paragraph 5.1.F. herein) pursuant to this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or other payment under this Lease is not received by Landlord, on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month in which such Rent or other payment is due, Tenant shall pay a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amounts. Tenant shall also be responsible for a service fee equal to fifty dollars ($50.00) for any check returned for insufficient funds together with such other costs and expenses as may be imposed by Landlord’s bank. The payment to and acceptance by Landlord of such late charge shall in no event constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amounts, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted at law or equity or pursuant to this Lease.
3.4. Payment on Account. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent actually due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account. No restrictive endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment shall be deemed to effect an accord and satisfaction or have any effect whatsoever. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law or in equity provided.
4. | SECURITY DEPOSIT |
Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a security deposit for the faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (“Security Deposit”). If Tenant fails to pay Rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults under this Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or a portion of the Security Deposit to compensate Landlord for the amount due by Tenant (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) under this Lease. If Landlord uses or otherwise applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore such Security Deposit within ten (10) days of notice from Landlord. The Security Deposit shall be non-interest bearing and Landlord shall be entitled to retain such funds in its general accounts. The balance of the Security Deposit not applied or used by Landlord as permitted in this Paragraph shall be refunded to Tenant thirty (30) days after the later of (i) expiration or other termination of this Lease, and (ii) Tenant has vacated the Premises.

general and special assessments, occupancy taxes, commercial rental taxes, charges, fees or assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other governmental services or purported benefits to the Property, service payments in lieu of taxes, and any tax, fee or excise on the act of entering into any lease for space in the Property, or on the use or occupancy of the Property or any part thereof, or on the rent payable under any lease or in connection with the business of renting space in the Property that are now or hereafter levied or assessed against Landlord by the United States of America, the state in which the Property is located, or any political subdivision, public corporation, district or other political or public entity, whether due to increased rate and/or valuation, additional improvements, change of ownership, or any other events or circumstances, and shall also include any other tax, fee or other excise, however described, that may be levied or assessed as a substitute for or as an addition to, as a whole or in part, any other Taxes whether or not now customary or in the contemplation of the parties on the date of this Lease. Taxes shall not include franchise, transfer, inheritance or capital stock taxes or income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any of such taxes is levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for or as an addition to, as a whole or in part, any other tax that would otherwise constitute a Tax. Taxes shall also include reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Taxes, so long as Landlord has a reasonable basis for instituting such proceedings. If any Taxes are specially assessed by reason of the occupancy or activities of one or more tenants and not the occupancy or activities of the Tenants as a whole, such Taxes shall be allocated by Landlord to the tenant or tenants whose occupancy or activities brought about such assessment. If there is a special assessment that is included within the definition of Taxes herein, and such assessment may be paid in periodic installments, Tenant shall be responsible only for those portions of installments relating to the period included within the Term. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant and Landlord desire to seek tax abatement for the Premises (“Tax Abatement”). In connection therewith, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in seeking such Tax Abatement for the Premises and the allocation of all such Tax Abatement to Tenant’s tax liability hereunder. To the extent required by the applicable municipality, the parties shall amend this Lease to conform to the Tax Abatement requirements provided that such requirements do not expand the liabilities of Landlord or other tenants of the Property for Taxes hereunder and subject to the approval of any lender with a mortgage lien on the Property.
J. “Tenant’s Share” shall mean 57.3% computed by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises by the Rentable Area of the Buildings. In the event that either the Rentable Area of the Premises or the Rentable Area of the Buildings is changed, Tenant’s Share will be appropriately adjusted by Landlord. For purposes of the Computation Year in which such change occurs, Tenant’s Share shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Computation Year at each such percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as another tenant or Landlord occupies any portion of the Buildings, (i) Tenant shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of all variable Common Expense, such as electricity (excluding any electricity associated with the water tower or the cell towers located thereon), gas, water, sewer and other utilities, trash removal, security, snow plowing, sanding, salting and snow removal, landscaping, mowing and weed removal, and (ii) Tenant, at Tenant’s option and upon prior notice to Landlord, may assume direct responsibility and payment for all variable Common Expenses. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of any utilities actually used by Landlord to heat or light any vacant portions of the Buildings, such reimbursement to be determined as set forth in Paragraph 9 herein.
5.2. Payments. In addition to Base Rent, and beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly, in advance, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Additional Rent due for each Computation Year, in an amount estimated by Landlord and billed by Landlord to Tenant (“Estimated Expenses”). At the request of Tenant, Landlord shall provide reasonable documentation related to Landlord’s determination of the Estimated Expenses. Landlord shall have the right to reasonably revise such estimates from time to time and to adjust Tenant’s monthly payments accordingly. If either the Commencement Date or the expiration of the Term shall occur on a date other than the first or last day of a Computation Year respectively, the Additional Rent for such Computation Year shall be in the proportion that the number of days the Lease was in effect during such Computation Year bears to 365. With reasonable promptness after the expiration of each Computation Year, but in no event later than six (6) months after the end of the Computation Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual expenses (“Actual Expenses”), setting forth in reasonable detail the Project Expenses for such Computation Year, and Tenant’s Share of such Project Expenses. If the actual Project Expenses for such Computation Year exceed the estimated Project Expenses paid by Tenant for such
S-5
Computation Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual Project Expenses within thirty (30) days after the receipt of Landlord’s Expense Statement. If the total amount paid by Tenant for any such Computation Year shall exceed the actual Project Expenses for such Computation Year, such excess shall be credited against the next installments of Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder, or upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Expense Statement. Neither Landlord’s failure to deliver, nor late delivery of, the Estimated or Actual Expenses shall constitute a default by Landlord hereunder or a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect any payment provided for herein.
5.3. Intentionally Deleted.
5.4. Disputes. If there is any dispute as to any Additional Rent due under this Paragraph 5 for any particular Computation Year, Tenant shall have the right during the six (6) month period following Tenants receipt of the Actual Expenses for such disputed Computation Year (“Audit Period”), upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, to inspect Landlord’s accounting records at Landlord’s accounting office. Tenant’s failure to provide Landlord with notice of any dispute as to Additional Rent during the Audit Period, shall constitute a waiver by Tenant to dispute or audit the Additional Rent, or any component thereof, for such Computation Year. If after such inspection Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, upon Tenant’s written request therefore, a certification as to the proper amount of Project Expenses and the amount due to or payable by Tenant shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon an accounting firm, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an accounting firm and the two (2) firms so selected shall select a third firm which shall make the certification requested hereunder. Such certification shall be final and conclusive as to all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to withhold payment of Additional Rent during the certification process and Tenant shall remain obligated to pay all Additional Rent due as otherwise set forth in this Lease. In the event Tenant shall prevail in the certification process, Landlord, at its election, shall either promptly refund any excess Additional Rent payments to Tenant or shall apply such excess as a credit against future Additional Rent due from Tenant. Should the parties obtain a certification, or otherwise agree to compromise the amount in dispute, they shall each pay their proportionate amount of the cost of obtaining the certification in the same percentage as the final certification or compromise amount relates to each parties initial assertion. For example, if Landlord claims Tenant owes $20.00 and Tenant asserts that only $10.00 is due, and the parties ultimately agree on $15.00, each party shall be responsible for paying 50% of the costs of obtaining the certification, if the parties ultimately agree on $18.00, Landlord shall be responsible for 20% and Tenant shall be responsible for 80% of the costs of obtaining the certification.] Tenant shall notify Landlord of any disputes with respect to Additional Rent within one (1) year from Tenant’s receipt of such Actual Expenses as set forth herein; thereafter any Actual Expenses which have not been timely disputed shall be deemed approved by Tenant.
6. | PARKING |
Landlord shall maintain and operate, or cause to be maintained and operated a minimum of three hundred (300) automobile parking facilities (“Parking Facilities”) and ten (10) trailer staging spaces for Tenant’s exclusive use at no additional charge to Tenant, all as identified on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. Landlord shall have the right to relocate such Parking Facilities to another location in Landlord’s reasonable discretion to facilitate development of the Property, so long as such relocation does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises. All vehicles located on or about the Premises shall be licensed and insured at all times and shall be in operable condition. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE TO THE CONTRARY, TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT SHALL USE ANY PARKING FACILITIES AT ITS SOLE RISK AND THAT, SUBJECT TO PARAGRAPH 15.2 HEREIN, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO PREVENT, AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT OR ANY TENANT REPRESENTATIVES FOR, DAMAGES OR INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY PARKED OR OTHERWISE LOCATED ON OR ABOUT THE PREMISES.
S-6
7. | PERMITTED USES |
Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises throughout the term of the Lease for light manufacturing and warehousing and uses customarily associated therewith and for no other purpose; in particular no use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Premises, nor acts done which will increase the existing rate of insurance upon the Buildings, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Buildings, or any part thereof, nor shall Tenant sell, or permit to be kept, used, or sold, in or about the Premises, any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policies. Tenant shall comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and codes of all municipal, county, state and federal authorities pertaining to Tenant’s operation of its business within the Premises. Tenant shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises or any public or private nuisance, or other act or thing which disturbs the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Buildings. Tenant shall also specifically not permit the storage of tires, flammable products, batteries, fertilizer, charcoal or any other similar items that cause objectionable odors to escape or be emitted from the Premises; Tenant shall insure sanitation and freedom from odor, smell and infestation from rodents or insects. Tenant, at its expense, shall provide (and enclose if required by codes) a dumpster or dumpsters for Tenant’s trash in a location and manner reasonably approved by Landlord, and shall cause its trash to be removed at intervals reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. In connection therewith, Tenant shall keep the dumpster(s) clean and insect, rodent and odor free.

Landlord may place such conditions as Landlord deems reasonably appropriate with respect to such Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, rules, regulations and safeguards as may be required by any insurance carrier, environmental consultant or lender of Landlord, or environmental consultant retained by any lender of Landlord, and may further require that Tenant demonstrate to Landlord that such Hazardous Materials will be generated, stored, used and disposed of in a manner that complies with all Hazardous Materials Laws regulating such Hazardous Materials and with good business practices. Tenant understands that Landlord may utilize an environmental consultant to assist in determining conditions of approval and monitoring in connection with the presence, storage, generation or use of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises by Tenant, and Tenant agrees
S-7
that any costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with any such environmental consultant’s services shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent upon demand, provided that Landlord has a reasonable basis for engaging such environmental consultant. Unless approved in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall not be entitled to utilize any Hazardous Materials in the Premises, except any Approved Hazardous Materials. In connection with the use of Hazardous Materials by Tenant approved by Landlord, Tenant shall at its own expense procure and maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for the storage or use by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives of Hazardous Materials on the Premises or the Property, including without limitation, discharge of (appropriately treated) materials or wastes into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Premises or the Property with all required permits.
8.3. Remediation. If at any time during the Term any contamination of the Premises or the Property by Hazardous Materials shall occur where such contamination is caused by the act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives (“Tenant’s Contamination”), then Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly and diligently remove such Hazardous Materials from the Premises, the Property or the groundwater underlying the Premises or the Property to the extent required to comply with applicable Hazardous Materials Laws to restore the Premises or the Property to the same or better condition which existed before the Tenant’s Contamination. Tenant shall not take any required remedial action in response to any Tenant’s Contamination in or about the Premises or the Property, or enter into any settlement agreement, consent, decree or other compromise in respect to any claims relating to any Tenant’s Contamination without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be subject to conditions imposed by Landlord as determined in Landlord’s sole discretion, provided, however, Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises or the Property (i) poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or (ii) is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not possible to obtain Landlord’s consent before taking such action. Tenant and Landlord shall jointly prepare a remediation plan in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and the provisions of this Lease. In addition to all other rights and remedies of the Landlord hereunder, if Tenant does not promptly and diligently take all steps to prepare and obtain all necessary approvals of a remediation plan for any Tenant’s Contamination, and thereafter commence the required remediation of any Hazardous Materials released or discharged in connection with Tenant’s Contamination within thirty (30) days after all necessary approvals and consents have been obtained and thereafter continue to prosecute such remediation to completion in accordance with an approved remediation plan, then Landlord, at its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause such remediation to be accomplished, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of Landlord’s demand for reimbursement of all amounts reasonably paid by Landlord (together with interest on such amounts at the highest lawful rate until paid), when such demand is accompanied by reasonable proof of payment by Landlord of the amounts demanded. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord, legible copies of hazardous waste manifests reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all Hazardous Materials removed from the Premises or the Property as part of Tenant’s remediation of any Tenant’s Contamination.
8.4. Disposition of Hazardous Materials. Except as discharged into the sanitary sewer in strict accordance and conformity with Paragraph 8.2 herein and all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, Tenant shall cause any and all Hazardous Materials removed from the Premises and the Property (including without limitation all Hazardous Materials removed from the Premises as part of the required remediation of Tenant’s Contamination) to be removed and transported solely by duly licensed haulers to duly licensed facilities for recycling or final disposal of such materials and wastes. Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” “in charge” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner,” as such terms are used in the Hazardous Materials Laws, of all Hazardous Materials and wastes generated by or resulting from acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives. Tenant shall be designated as the “generator,” as such term is used in the Hazardous Materials Laws, on all manifests relating to such Hazardous Materials or wastes generated by Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives.
8.5. Notice of Hazardous Materials Matters. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of: (i) any enforcement, clean up, removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted concerning the Premises pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws; (ii) any claim made by any person against Tenant or the Premises relating to damage contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises; (iii) any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials in or removed from the Premises including any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted
S-8
violations in connection therewith, all upon receipt by Tenant of actual knowledge of any of the foregoing matters; and (iv) any spill, release, discharge or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in, on or under the Premises, the Property, or any portion thereof by Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives. Tenant shall also supply to Landlord as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after Tenant first receives or sends the same, with copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the Premises or Tenant’s use thereof.
8.6. Landlord’s Representations and Warranties. Except as disclosed in the Phase I and Phase II Environmental Reports prepared by Hull and Associates previously delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord warrants and represents that, to the best of its knowledge, (i) no portion of the Premises, including the soil, groundwater and soil vapor, contain any Hazardous Materials, (ii) Landlord is not subject to any existing investigation by any governmental authority under any Environmental Laws, (iii) any handling, transportation, storage, treatment, or use of Hazardous Materials that has occurred on the Premises to date by or behalf of Landlord has been in compliance with all Environmental Laws, and (iv) no leak, spill, release, discharge, emission or disposal of Hazardous Materials has occurred on the Premises since the date of Landlord’s acquisition of its fee title interest therein.
8.7. Limitation On Tenant’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 8, Tenant shall have no liability of any kind to Landlord as to Hazardous Materials on the Premises or the Property, used or stored, caused, controlled, or managed by: (i) Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or other tenants; or (ii) any person or entity located outside of the Premises (including, without limitation, the migration or leaching of Hazardous Materials from outside the Premises on or onto the Premises); or (iii) prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or subsequent to Tenant’s vacation of the Premises.
8.8. Landlord’s Remediation Covenant. If Hazardous Materials are hereafter discovered on the Property during the Term, and the presence of such Hazardous Materials is not the result of either Tenant’s use of the Premises or any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, and the presence of such Hazardous Materials results in any contamination of the Property that materially and adversely affects Tenant’s operation within the Premises and requires remediation under applicable Environmental Laws, then Landlord shall promptly, at its sole expense, take all actions or cause such actions to be taken as are necessary to remediate such Hazardous Materials and as may be required by applicable Environmental Laws. Rent shall be equitably adjusted if and to the extent and during any period in which the Premises are unsuitable for Tenant’s normal business operations as a result of such contamination or Landlord’s remediation activities.
8.9. Indemnification by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect, and hold Landlord, and each of Landlord’s employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, and its directors, officers, partners, representatives, any lender having a lien on or covering the Premises or any part thereof, and any entity or person named or required to be named as an additional insured in Paragraph 14.2 of this Lease, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, actions (including, without limitation, the cost of reasonable investigation and testing, reasonable consultant’s and attorney’s fees, remedial and enforcement actions of any kind, administrative (informal or otherwise) or judicial proceedings and orders or judgments arising therefrom), causes of action, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, damages (including, but not limited to, damages for the loss or restriction or use of rentable space or any amenity of the Premises or the Property, or damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Premises or the Property), diminution in the value of the Premises or the Property, fines, injunctive relief, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) or death of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever, arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by (i) any Tenant’s Contamination, (ii) Tenant’s or Tenant’s Representatives failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials Laws with respect to the Premises, or (iii) offsite disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials on, from, under or about the Premises or the Property by Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, clean up or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith.
8.10. Indemnification by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary Landlord shall be responsible for any and all remediation, response or corrective action required by any local, state or federal agencies necessary to contain and/or remediate any environmental contamination on the site existing as of the date hereof
S-9
(“Preexisting Contamination”). Landlord shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant), protect, and hold Tenant, and each of Tenant’s employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action (including, without limitation, remedial and enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising therefrom), liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) or death of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever, to the extent arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by any contamination caused by Landlord in violation of a Hazardous Material Law. Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall include without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, clean up or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith. This indemnity shall be specifically limited to affirmative acts of Landlord, and shall not include the acts or omissions of any other tenants of the Property or other persons.
8.11. Tenant Certifications. Within ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall certify to Landlord in writing that, to the best of its knowledge, (i) the Premises is free from all Hazardous Materials caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, and (ii) no such Hazardous Materials exist on, under or about the Premises other than as specifically identified to Landlord by Tenant in writing. If Landlord reasonably believes that such certification is inaccurate, or if an environmental report is required by law, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s certification that Tenant shall have the Premises thoroughly inspected by an environmental consultant acceptable to Landlord for purposes of determining whether the Premises is free from all Hazardous Materials. If Landlord fails to timely give such notice, the requirement for an environmental inspection report is not required of Tenant unless such report is otherwise required by Tenant under this Paragraph 8. Landlord’s failure to request an environmental inspection report shall in no way alter, abridge or limit Tenant’s indemnity obligation hereunder. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the environmental consultant’s report forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the Lease. In the event the report discloses the existence of any Hazardous Materials caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Representative, which requires any clean up or any other form of response (collectively “Clean up”), Tenant shall perform such immediately and deliver the Premises with the conditions specified in the report “cleaned up”, to the full satisfaction of Landlord. In the event the conditions specified in the report require Clean up which cannot be completed prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord the rent hereunder, as adjusted, for each day delivery of the Premises in the required condition to Landlord is delayed beyond the expiration of the Term in addition to the Clean up costs.
8.12. Exclusivity. The allocations of responsibility between, obligations and liabilities undertaken by, and indemnifications given by Landlord and Tenant under this Paragraph 8, shall be the exclusive provisions under this Lease, applicable to the subject matter treated in this Paragraph 8, and any other conflicting or inconsistent provisions contained in this Lease shall not apply with respect to the subject matter.
8.13. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Tenant shall at all times and in all respects comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws relating to the handling, use, generation, manufacturing, refining, production, processing, storage, disposal, transportation and remediation of any and all Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises and the Property. All reporting obligations imposed by Hazardous Materials Laws with regard to Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives acts or omissions are strictly the responsibility of Tenant. Tenant and Landlord have been informed that certain judicial decisions have held that, notwithstanding the specific language of a lease, courts may impose the responsibility for complying with legal requirements and for performing improvements, maintenance and repairs on a landlord or tenant based on the court’s assessment of the parties’ intent in light of certain equitable factors. Tenant and Landlord have each been advised by their respective legal counsel about the provisions of this Lease allocating responsibility for compliance with laws and for performing improvements, maintenance and repairs between Tenant and Landlord. Tenant and Landlord expressly agree that the allocation of responsibility for compliance with laws and for performing improvements, maintenance and repairs set forth in this Lease represents Tenant’s and Landlord’s intent with respect to this issue.
8.14. Survival and Duration of Obligations. All covenants, representations, warranties, obligations and indemnities made or given under this Paragraph 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Beginning on the Commencement Date, and continuing until such time as another tenant occupies any portion of the Buildings, all Utilities for the Property shall be in the name of Tenant. At such time as another tenant occupies any portion of the Buildings, Landlord shall have the electrical and gas service submetered and shall transfer the water and sewer services to Landlord’s name and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, its share of the cost of such services, as reasonably determined by Landlord. If any Utilities are not separately metered, Landlord shall have the right to determine Tenant’s consumption by submetering, survey or other methods designed to measure consumption with reasonable accuracy.

Tenant shall be permitted to implement its own reasonable security measures in the Premises, subject to prior approval by
S-11
Landlord. Any security implemented by Tenant shall not interfere with the Building’s security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for providing adequate security for its premises, trucks and containers, and its use of the Property and Premises thereof. Landlord shall have no responsibility to prevent, and shall not be liable to tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, visitors or invitees, for losses due to theft, burglary or other criminal activity, or for damages or injuries to persons or property resulting from Tenant’s storage of trucks and containers on the Premises, from persons gaining access to the Premises or any part of the Property, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its agents and employees from all liabilities for such losses, damages or injury, regardless of the cause thereof.

The amounts of such insurance required hereunder shall be adjusted from time to time as requested by Landlord based upon Landlord’s determination as to the amounts of such insurance generally required at such time for comparable premises and buildings in the general geographical area of the Premises.

If Tenant fails to procure and keep in force such insurance, Landlord may procure it, and the cost thereof with interest at the maximum lawful rate shall be payable immediately by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent. Such insurance may be provided by a blanket insurance policy covering the Premises, so long as the coverage on the Premises is at all times at least as great as required by this Paragraph 14.
14.4. Contractors’ Insurance.

Tenant shall have the right to contest by proper proceedings any Tenant Lien, provided that Tenant shall prosecute such contest diligently and in good faith and such contest shall not expose Landlord to any civil or criminal penalty or liability in connection therewith. In such case, within five (5) days after Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall furnish Landlord a surety bond or other adequate security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of such claim or such higher amount as may be reasonably required to both to indemnify Landlord against liability and hold the Property free from adverse effect in the event the contest is not successful (“Xxxx Xxxx”). The Xxxx Xxxx may be retained by Landlord until the Tenant Lien has been removed of record or until judgment has been rendered on such claim and such judgment has become final, at which time Landlord shall have the right to apply such Xxxx Xxxx in discharge of the judgment on the Tenant Lien and to any actual costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord, and shall remit the balance thereof to Tenant. In the event that a Tenant Lien is filed and Tenant does not properly contest such lien or timely post the Xxxx Xxxx, Landlord, at its election, and upon not less than five (5) days prior written notice to Tenant, may pay and satisfy the Tenant Lien and, in such event the sums so paid by Landlord, including all actual and other expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, so paid by Landlord, shall be deemed to be additional Rent due and shall be payable by Tenant at once without notice or demand together with interest thereon from the date of payment at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, provided such interest rate shall not exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no responsibility for discharge of any mechanics’ liens filed by a contractor, subcontractor, materialman, or laborer of Landlord.
16.2. Tenant agrees to give Landlord written notice not less than ten (10) days in advance of the commencement of any Tenant Repairs in order that Landlord may post appropriate notices of Landlord’s non-responsibility.

17. | QUIET ENJOYMENT |
Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant, upon making all of Tenant’s payments of Rent as and when due under the Lease, and upon performing, observing and keeping the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept, shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the term of this Lease as extended by the options described herein, if any, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease.
18. | LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ENTRY |
Landlord or his agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times upon reasonable notice in order to examine it or to show it to prospective tenants or buyers, to place “For Rent” or “For Sale” signs on or about the Premises, and to make modifications or other changes to the Property as are necessary in Landlord’s reasonable discretion to facilitate development of the Property, provided, however, Landlord shall use its best efforts to minimize the effect of any such entry or any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises and shall not make any modifications or changes that materially adversely affect Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises or the Common Areas. Upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from Landlord, Tenant may arrange to have a designated representative accompany Landlord in entering the Premises. Landlord’s right of reentry shall not be deemed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility, or liability for the care, supervision or repair of the Premises other than as herein provided; except that Landlord shall use reasonable care to prevent loss or damage to Tenant’s property resulting from Landlord’s entry. Landlord shall have the right at any time, without effecting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to the Tenant therefore, to change the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Buildings and to change the name, number or designation by which the Buildings are commonly known, provided that such action does not result in any unreasonable interference with Tenant’s access to or use of the Premises or the Common Areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises without first giving notice to the Tenant in the event of an emergency where the nature of the emergency will not reasonably permit the giving of notice. Landlord shall not take any photographs or videos of the operations, equipment or employees at the Premises, provided, however, that if photographs of the interior of the Premises are required for insurance, financing, sale or similar purposes, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to permit Landlord to obtain reasonably necessary photographs.
19. | DESTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS |
19.1. Partial Destruction. In the event of a partial destruction of the Building containing the Premises during the Term of this Lease from any cause, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, provided such repair can reasonably be made within ninety (90) days from the date of the Restoration Notice (as hereinafter defined). Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after such damage as to the amount of time that a third party fire damage consultant or engineer chosen by Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises (the “Restoration Notice”). During any Landlord repair period, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent to the extent such repairs unreasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises. If Tenant fails to remove its goods, wares or equipment within a reasonable time and as a result the repair or restoration is delayed, or if such damage or destruction is caused primarily by the negligence or willful act of Tenant, or its employees, invitees or agents, there shall be no reduction in rent during such delay. If the restoration time is estimated to exceed ninety (90) days following the date Landlord issues the Restoration Notice, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other party given no later than thirty (30) days after Landlord’s Restoration Notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease or if the third party fire damage consultant or engineer chosen by Landlord reasonably estimates that restoration will take ninety (90) days or less, then Landlord shall promptly, and with all commercially reasonable diligence, restore the Premises, subject to delays arising from Force Majeure Events (as hereinafter defined); and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If either (i) Landlord has not commenced the restoration within thirty (30) days following the date of Landlord’s Restoration Notice, or (ii) the restoration takes more than ninety (90) days following Landlord’s Restoration Notice, plus any period of delay which is caused by Force Majeure Events (or such longer time as the parties shall establish in writing with respect to restoration which is expected to take longer than ninety (90) days), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon prior written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding the above, the Lease shall automatically be reinstated if the restoration is completed and the Premises are delivered to Tenant within ten (10) days after Tenant’s termination notice. If Landlord fails to give the Restoration Notice within the thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall be required to commence the repair of the building promptly and thereafter diligently complete the repairs.
19.2. Total Destruction. A total destruction of the Building containing the Premises shall terminate this Lease. A total destruction of such building means the cost of repairing such building exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the replacement cost of such building.
S-16
20. | EMINENT DOMAIN |
20.1. Definitions. For purposes of this Lease, the word “condemned” is co-extensive with the phrase “right of eminent domain”, that is, the right of the government to take property for public use, and shall include the intention to condemn expressed in writing as well as the filing of any action or proceeding for condemnation.
20.2. Exercise of Condemnation. If any action or proceeding is commenced for the condemnation of the Premises or any portion thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any government (federal, state or local) agency or department or bureau thereof, or any entity or body having the right or power of condemnation, of its intention to condemn all or any portion of the Premises at the time thereof, or if the Premises or any part or portion thereof be condemned through such action, then and in any of such events Landlord may, without any obligation or liability to Tenant, and without affecting the validity and existence of this Lease other than as hereafter expressly provided, agree to sell and/or convey to the condemnor, without first requiring that any action or proceeding be instituted, or if such action or proceeding shall have been instituted, without requiring any trial or hearing thereof, and Landlord is expressly empowered to stipulate to judgment therein, the part and portion of the Premises sought by the condemnor, free from this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord nor be entitled to any part or portion of the amount that may be paid or awarded as a result of the sale, for the reasons as aforesaid, or condemnation of the Premises or any part or portion thereof, except that Tenant shall be entitled to recover from the condemnor and Landlord shall have no claim therefore or thereto for Tenant’s relocation costs, loss of goodwill, for Tenant’s trade fixtures, any removable structures and improvements erected and made by Tenant to or upon the Premises which Tenant is or may be entitled to remove at the expiration of this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder.
20.3. Effect on Lease. If the entire Premises is condemned, this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of such taking or loss of possession. If only a part of the Premises is condemned and taken and the remaining portion thereof is in Tenant’s reasonable discretion not suitable for purposes for which Tenant has leased the Premises, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the earlier of such taking or loss of possession. If by such condemnation and taking only a part of the Premises is taken, and the remaining part thereof is in Tenant’s reasonable discretion suitable for the purposes for which Tenant has leased the Premises, this Lease shall continue, but the rental shall be reduced in an amount proportionate to the percentage that the floor area of that portion of the Premises physically taken by eminent domain bears to the floor area of the entire Premises.
21. | BANKRUPTCY |
If a general assignment is made by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any action is taken by Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act, or if a receiver is appointed to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (and Tenant fails to terminate such receivership within ninety (90) days after such appointment), or if any action is taken by a creditor of Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act, and such action is not dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days after the date of such filing, then this Lease shall terminate at the option of Landlord upon the occurrence of any such contingency and shall expire as fully and completely as if the day of the occurrence of such contingency was the date specified in this Lease for the expiration thereof. In such event, Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord.
22. | DEFAULT |
22.1 Default by Tenant. If Tenant fails to pay any rent or other sum due hereunder in the time periods set forth in this Lease and such default shall continue for a period of five (5) days after its receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord (except that no such notice shall be required if Landlord has given Tenant a notice for failure to pay a
S-17
monetary sum when due within the prior one (1) year period, or in the event Tenant fails to perform any other covenant to be performed by Tenant under this Lease and continues to fail to perform the same for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord pertaining thereto (or a reasonable period of time, using due diligence, if any non-monetary default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period), then Tenant shall be deemed to have breached this Lease and Landlord, in addition to other rights or remedies it may have, may:
A. Continue this Lease in effect by not terminating Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, and thereby be entitled to enforce all Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent specified in this Lease as it becomes due under this Lease; or
B. Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, thereby terminating this Lease, and recover from Tenant:
(i.) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination of the Lease;
(ii.) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination of the Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii.) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and
Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease; or
C. In lieu of, or in addition to, bringing an action for any or all of the recoveries described in subparagraph B above, bring an action to recover and regain possession of the Premises in the manner provided by the laws of unlawful detainer then in effect in the state where the Property is located. If Landlord makes any expenditure required of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant fails to make any payment or expenditure required of Tenant hereunder, such amount shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as Rent together with interest from the date due at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, provided such interest rate shall not exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by law, and Landlord shall have the same remedies as on the default in payment of Rent. The payment of interest required hereunder shall be in addition to the late charge set forth in Paragraph 3.3. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, under no circumstances shall Landlord or Tenant be liable to the other for any consequential damages arising out of the acts or omissions of Landlord or Tenant or a breach of this Lease by either party.
D. Following the occurrence of a default under this Lease, Landlord shall mitigate its damages to the extent required by applicable law. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises at rents that are equal to market rates in the market area of the Building.
22.2 Default by Landlord. Should Landlord fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord will have a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice from Tenant of a failure of performance within which to commence a cure of that failure. Failure of Landlord to commence such cure within such thirty (30) day period will be an event of default under this Lease and, in addition to all rights Tenant may have at law or in equity, Tenant may pursue the following remedies, at its option: (a) provide Landlord with an additional period of time within which to effect such cure; (b) bring an action to require specific performance of Landlord’s obligations; and/or (c) commence such cure itself, and Tenant may require that Landlord immediately reimburse Tenant for its expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to defaults regarding Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations, Tenant may not commence to cure the default so long as Landlord is diligently pursuing the cure thereof, including the letting of contracts to reputable contractors for the repair or maintenance issue in question, or for so long as Landlord’s performance is delayed by matters of Force Majeure (as defined in Paragraph 39 herein).
S-18
23. | SURRENDER OF PREMISES |
On or before the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall vacate the Premises in broom clean condition and otherwise in the same condition as existed on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear and fire and casualty loss excepted, except that any improvements made within and on the Premises by Tenant shall remain, in the same condition and repair as when constructed or installed, reasonable wear and tear and fire and casualty loss excepted. In addition, Tenant shall remove from the Premises all of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures in order that Landlord can repossess the Premises on the day this Lease or any extension hereof expires or is sooner terminated. Any removal of the Tenant’s improvements, Tenant’s property and/or trade fixtures by Tenant shall be accomplished in a manner which will minimize any damage or injury to the Premises, and any such damage or injury shall be repaired by Tenant at its sole cost and expense with thirty (30) days after Tenant vacates.
24. | HOLDING OVER |
Should Tenant hold over and remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of this Lease, without the written consent of Landlord, such possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant. Unless Landlord agrees otherwise in writing, Base Rent during the hold-over period shall be payable in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent paid for the last month of the Term hereof until Tenant vacates the Premises. All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect during such hold-over tenancy, which hold-over tenancy shall be terminable by either party delivering at least one (1) month’s written notice, before the end of any monthly period. Such holdover tenancy shall terminate effective as of the last day of the month following the month in which the termination notice is given.
25. | SURRENDER OF LEASE |
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and may, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or may operate as an assignment of any or all such subleases or subtenancies to Landlord.
26. | INTENTIONALLY DELETED |
27. | RULES AND REGULATIONS |
The Tenant shall comply with all reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations now or hereinafter adopted by the Landlord during the existence of this Lease, both in regard to the Property, the Buildings as a whole and to the Premises herein leased, provided that such rules and regulations do not adversely interfere with the operation of Tenant’s business within the Premises or use of the Common Areas. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease and the provisions of any such rules and regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control.

29. | ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING |
29.1. No Assignment. Except as specifically set forth below, Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, sell, assign, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer or hypothecate all or any part of the Premises or Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder (collectively, “Assignment”), or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or sublet the Premises (collectively, “Sublease”) or any portion thereof without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord.
29.2. No Relief of Obligations. No consent by Landlord to any Assignment or Sublease by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether arising before or after the Assignment or Sublease. The consent by Landlord to any Assignment or Sublease shall not relieve Tenant of the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express written consent to any other Assignment or Sublease. Any Assignment or Sublease that is not in compliance with this Paragraph 29 shall be void and, at the option of Landlord, shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from a proposed assignee or sublessee shall not constitute the consent by Landlord to such Assignment or Sublease.
29.3 Exception for Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 29, Tenant may upon prior written notice to Landlord, but without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign or sublease the Premises to a corporation or other entity that shall directly or indirectly control, be controlled by or be under common control with Tenant (“Affiliates”), provided that no default by Tenant under this Lease exists beyond any applicable notice and cure period.

30. | ATTORNEY’S FEES |
In the event of any legal or equitable action arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, together with reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such action. The fees, costs and expenses so recovered shall include those incurred in prosecuting or defending any appeal. The prevailing party shall also be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees incurred to collect or enforce the judgment.
31. | JUDGMENT COSTS |
31.1. Landlord. Should Landlord, without fault on Landlord’s part, be made a party to any litigation instituted by or against Tenant, or by or against any person holding the Premises by license of Tenant, or for foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant, or any such person, or otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Tenant, or of any such person, Tenant covenants to pay to Landlord, the amount of any judgment rendered against Landlord or the Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such litigation.
31.2. Tenant. Should Tenant, without fault on Tenant’s part, be made a party to any litigation instituted by or against Landlord, or by or against any person holding the Premises by license of Landlord, or for foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Landlord, or any such person, or otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Landlord, or of any such person, Landlord covenants to pay to Tenant, the amount of any judgment rendered against Tenant or the Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Tenant in connection with such litigation.
32. | BROKERS |
Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to each other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the Premises and this Lease, and that it knows of no real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease other than Signature Associates (“Broker”). Landlord shall only pay the real estate brokerage commission due to Broker and any real estate broker or agent entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease if claimed through the actions of Landlord. Tenant shall pay any other commission or finder’s fee due if claimed through the actions of Tenant. Each of Tenant and Landlord shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any such commission or finder’s fee which may be claimed by any person or broker with respect to this transaction as a result of its breach of the foregoing representation.
33. | SUBORDINATION OF LEASE |
This Lease is subject and subordinate to any mortgages which may now or hereafter be placed upon or affect the property or Buildings of which the Premises are a part, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions hereof, provided that the holder(s) of such mortgage(s) shall agree in writing not to disturb the possession of the Premises by Tenant or the rights of Tenant under this Lease so long as Tenant is not in material default (subject to applicable notice and cure rights in favor of Tenant as contained in this Lease) in the performance of its obligations thereunder and, in the event of foreclosure, Tenant agrees to look solely to the mortgagee’s interest in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon the mortgagee or Landlord under this Lease. In the event that a Successor Landlord, as hereinafter defined, takes title to the Property, (i) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under this Lease, and (iii) this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, in accordance with its terms, as a direct lease between Successor Landlord and Tenant. This clause shall be self-operative, and no further instrument or subordination shall be necessary unless requested by a mortgagee or the insuring title company, in which event Tenant shall sign, within five (5) business days after requested, such instruments and/or documents as the mortgagee and/or insuring title company reasonably request be signed (“SNDA”). In the event Tenant fails to execute a SNDA or an estoppel certificate as provided herein, Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to sign, execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver or record, where required or appropriate, in the name, place and stead of Tenant, all such SNDAs and estoppel certificates for and on behalf of Tenant as may be required. Upon request from Tenant, Landlord agrees that it shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an SNDA for Tenant from its current or future lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably and customarily acceptable to Tenant and lender.
S-21
34. | OPTIONS TO EXTEND/RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL |
34.1. Options to Extend. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options to extend (“Option(s) to Extend”) the Term for the Premises for an additional five (5) years per extended option term (“Option Term(s)”), upon each and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease as amended below; provided, however, Tenant is not in default of this Lease on the date of exercise of the Option to Extend and has not been in monetary default of this Lease, for more than thirty (30) days, more than three (3) times during the Term, as extended. Tenant shall give to Landlord written notice on or prior to 180 eighty (180) days before expiration of the then current Term or first Option Term of the exercise of the Option(s) to Extend for such Option Term, time being of the essence. The Term as defined in Paragraph 2 hereof shall also include any Options to Extend properly exercised hereunder. If notice of exercise of any Option to Extend is not timely given, all further Options to Extend shall automatically expire. The rent for the Option Terms shall consist of Base Rent as set forth in Paragraph 3.1 herein, Tenant’s Share of Project Expenses pursuant to Paragraph 5, and any other charges under this Lease. The Options to Extend are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned without Landlord’s written consent which may be withheld in its sole discretion, except that Tenant’s Affiliate(s), if any, shall have Tenant’s rights to such Options to Extend.
34.2. Right of First refusal. In the event that during the Term, including any Option Term if properly exercised hereunder, Landlord receives a bona fide, arms-length, executed written offer (whether in the form of a letter of understanding, letter of intent or memorandum) from an unrelated third party to lease all or any portion of available Rentable Area of the Buildings which is contiguous to the Premises (“Expansion Space”) with terms which are acceptable to Landlord (“Space Offer”), Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the Space Offer (“Space Offer Notice”), which Space Offer Notice shall contain the terms and conditions with respect to the Expansion Space, including the rental rate, term and any allowances. Tenant may lease the Expansion Space set forth in the Space Offer Notice by performing both of the following: (i) Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice within ten (10) business days after its receipt of the Space Offer Notice that Tenant agrees to lease the Expansion Space pursuant to all the terms set forth in the Space Offer Notice (except for the Base Rent which shall be the lower of the Base Rent in the Space Offer Notice or the Base Rent payable pursuant to Paragraph 3.1 of this Lease) and the Expansion Space shall be delivered in its “as-is, where-is” condition, unless otherwise agreed to in the Space Offer Notice (“Acceptance Notice”); and (ii) Tenant shall execute a reasonable amendment to this Lease for the Expansion Space with Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s delivery of such an amendment (“Expansion Space Amendment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the lease term in the Space Offer Notice is longer than the Term remaining under this Lease, Tenant shall, as a condition precedent to exercising its Acceptance Notice, extend the term of this Lease with respect to the original Premises so as to provide for concurrent lease termination dates for both the original Premises and the Expansion Space. If Landlord does not timely receive Acceptance Notice or the Expansion Space Lease, within the applicable time periods set forth above, Tenant’s right to lease the Expansion Space shall terminate and Landlord shall be free to lease the Expansion Space to a third party for which a Space Offer Notice was given and the right of first refusal granted herein shall terminate.
35. | ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
35.1. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, or to such other persons who may be designated in such request, a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications) and, if so, the dates to which the rent and any other charges have been paid in advance, and such other items reasonably and typically requested by Landlord, including without limitation, the lease commencement date and expiration date, rent amounts, and that no offsets or counterclaims are present. It is intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer (including assignee) of the Premises.
35.2. Financial Statements. If Landlord desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Buildings, or the Property, or any part thereof, upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or to such potential lender or purchaser designated by Landlord, such financial information regarding Tenant, as may reasonably be required to
S-22
establish Tenants’ creditworthiness. All financial information provided by Tenant to Landlord or any lender or potential purchaser shall be held by the recipient in strict confidence and may not be used or disclosed by the recipient except for the purpose of determining Tenants’ creditworthiness in connection with Tenants’ obligations under this Lease.
36. | SHORT FORM OF LEASE |
Tenant agrees to execute, deliver and acknowledge, at the request of Landlord, a short form of this Lease satisfactory to counsel for Landlord, and Landlord may in its sole discretion record this Lease or such short form in the County where the Premises are located. Tenant shall not record this Lease, or a short form of this Lease, without Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.
37. | SIGNS |
Tenant shall not place any sign upon the Premises, except that Tenant may, with Landlord’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, install such signs on the exterior of the Premises and at the entrance to the Property as are reasonably required to advertise Tenant’s own business. Subject to its reasonable approval rights as set forth herein, Landlord hereby consents to Tenant constructing an exclusive sign to advertise Tenant’s business at the entrance of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that another tenant leases a portion of the Property, such new tenant shall be entitled to have sufficient separate signage to identify such tenant and to direct parties to such tenant’s premises. The installation of any sign on the Premises by or for Tenant shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 23. Tenant shall maintain any such signs installed on the Property. Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Landlord reserves the right to install, and all revenues from the installation of, such advertising signs on the Premises, including the roof, as do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business or adversely impact Tenant’s reputation.
38. | GUARANTY OF LEASE |
[Intentionally Deleted]
39. | FORCE MAJEURE |
Except for Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease, in discharging its duty to complete any tenant improvements and to operate, maintain and repair those systems as set forth in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall be held to a standard of reasonableness and shall not be liable to the other for matters outside its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, civil riot, war, strikes, labor unrest, or shortage of material, and in no event shall Landlord or Tenant be liable to the other for incidental damages, including, but not limited to, loss of business or business interruption.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
IMPROVEMENTS AT LANDLORD’S EXPENSE
Landlord shall construct certain improvements to the Premises, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, as more fully described on Exhibit “B-1” attached hereto (the “Work to be Completed”). In connection therewith, the Premises shall be deemed to be “Ready for Occupancy” upon the earlier of (i) the date the Premises are Substantially Completed, or (ii) the date the Premises would have been Substantially Completed, had one or more Tenant Delays not occurred.
The term “Substantially Completed” means that (i) the contractor has substantially completed the Work to be Completed, which shall be deemed complete, even though minor details of construction, mechanical adjustments or decorations, any of which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, remain to be performed (items normally referred to as “Punch-List” items), (ii) Tenant shall have access to the Buildings and parking facilities, and all services provided for in the Lease, and (iii) Landlord shall have obtained an occupancy certificate, temporary occupancy certificate or such other customarily issued evidence from the applicable governing authority that the Work to be Completed is in compliance with all applicable laws and ordnances. Landlord and Tenant shall schedule a walk-through of the Premises within five (5) business days after Landlord believes the Work to be Completed has been Substantially Completed. Landlord and Tenant shall jointly prepare the Punch-List items during the walk-through of the Premises. Following delivery of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall diligently cause the Punch-List items to be corrected as soon as reasonably possible and practical. Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be deemed acceptance of the Premises and the Work to be Completed, subject to the Punch-List items and Landlord’s Warranties.
The term “Tenant Delays” shall mean any delays attributable to the following: (i) any failure by Tenant to comply with the date and time limits in this Agreement; (ii) delays due to the acts or failures to act of Tenant; its agent or contractor where such acts or failures to act actually delay the completion of the Work to be Completed; (iii) delays due to any changes to the plans requested by Tenant after the plans have been mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant; (iv) delays due to Tenant’s selection of materials or methods of construction which cannot be timely incorporated into the schedule for the Work to be Completed; and (v) any other delays due to the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agent or representative, construction consultants or space planner, where such acts or omissions actually delay the completion of the Work to be Completed. Landlord must provide written notice to Tenant of any alleged Tenant Delays before Landlord may advance the date the Premises is Ready for Occupancy.
Landlord may, at its reasonable discretion, grant Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date solely for the purpose of allowing Tenant to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, provided that such access and the installation of such equipment does not unreasonably interfere with or delay the Work to be Completed described on Exhibit “B-1” attached hereto.
Following the walk-through of the Premises and the preparation of the Punch-List by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall send to Tenant a notice memorializing the Commencement Date, which date may not occur before the walk-through of the Premises (“Notice”) and Tenant shall acknowledge the Notice by executing a copy and returning to Landlord. If Tenant fails to sign and return the Notice to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of the Notice, the Notice as sent by Landlord shall be deemed to have correctly set forth the Commencement Date. Failure of Landlord to send the Notice shall not affect the actual establishment of such date. Tenant agrees to pay the Rent required under this Lease within the time limits set forth in this Lease. In the event Tenant in good faith disputes the occurrence of the Commencement Date, as set forth in the Notice, Tenant shall nevertheless pay to Landlord the amount of Rent due and owing by Tenant pursuant to the date the Rent will commence for the Premises as set forth in the Notice (under protest) until such time as the parties mutually agree on a different Commencement Date or Tenant receives a final judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction (or when arbitration is permitted, receives a final award from an arbitrator) relieving or mitigating Tenant’s obligation to pay such Rent.
Landlord agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy, no later than November 1, 2013, subject to delays due to Force Majeure or Tenant Delays.
Upon delivery of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord warrants to Tenant that the fire safety system, the roof system, all plumbing, electrical, HVAC system and utilities systems, all dock doors and dock systems, roll-up and loading doors, bumpers, seals and enclosures are in good operating condition and in compliance with all laws, ordinances and codes, and the Work to be Completed by Landlord has been constructed in accordance with all laws, ordinances and codes, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act (“Landlord’s Warranties”). Landlord’s Warranties shall exclude damages or defects caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, and improper operation or normal wear and tear under normal usage. If it is determined within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Premises to Tenant that Landlord’s Warranties have been violated, then it shall be the obligation of Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant, to rectify such violation.
