Granting
Clause. In
consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein
provided
and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and conditions
hereof,
Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the
Premises,
to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease.
|
2.
|
Acceptance
of Premises. Tenant
shall accept the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement
Date
subject to the improvements which shall be made per paragraph 40
and all-
applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions.
Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability
of
the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any
implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s intended
purposes. Except as provided in Paragraph 10, in no event shall
Landlord
have any obligation for any defects in the Premises or any limitation
on
its use.
|
3.
Use. The
Premises shall be used only for the purpose of executive offices and
pharmaceutical research and for such other lawful purpose as may be incidental
thereto. Tenant shall not conduct or give notice of any auction, liquidation,
or
going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises
in a
careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor
or
structure of the Premises or subject the Premises to use that would damage
the
Premise. Tenant shall not in it’s reasonable control permit any objectionable or
unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise, or vibrations to emanate from
the
Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance or would
disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord or any tenants
of the
Project. Outside storage, including without limitation, storage of trucks
and
other vehicles, is prohibited without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord
warrants it has received no notice from any government authority that the
Premises are not in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and
Landlord shall maintain the exterior of the Premises in compliance with the
ADA.
Tenant, at its sole expense, shall use and Occupy the interior of the Premises
in compliance with all laws, including, without limitation, the Americans
With
Disabilities Act, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives,
permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable
to the
Premises (collectively, “Legal Requirements”). The Premises shall not be used as
a place of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act
or
similar state statutes or local ordinances or any regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. Tenant shall, at its
expense, make any alterations or modifications, within or without the Premises
that are required by Legal Requirements related to Tenant’s use or occupation of
the Premises. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any
purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance or
increase the insurance risk. If any increase in the cost of any insurance
on the
Premises or the Project is caused by Tenant’s use or occupation of the Premises,
or because Tenant vacates the Premises prior to the expiration of its Lease,
then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord. Any occupation
of
the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to
all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
4.
|
Base
Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amount set forth above.
The first
month’s Base Rent, the Security Deposit, and the first monthly installment
of estimated Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) shall be
due and
payable on the date hereof, and Tenant promises to pay to Landlord
in
advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly installments
of
Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding
the
Commencement Date. Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar
month
shall be prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to
Landlord
hereunder shall be payable at such address as Landlord may specify
from
time to time by written notice delivered in accordance herewith.
The
obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord
and the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations.
Tenant shall have no right at any time to xxxxx, reduce, or set-off
any
rent due hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this
Lease. If
Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent or
of
estimated Operating Expenses for more than ten (10) days, Tenant
shall pay
to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to ten percent (10%)
of such
delinquent sum. The provision for such late charge shall be in
addition to
all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall
not be construed as a penalty.
|
5.
|
Security
Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security
for
the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The Security
Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s
damages in case of Tenant’s default. Upon each occurrence of an Event of
Default (hereinafter defined), Landlord may use all or part of
the
Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease,
and the
cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such
Event of
Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein
or provided
by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will
restore
the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord’s obligation
respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee;
no
interest shall accrue thereon. The Security Deposit shall be the
property
of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall be released
from
any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer
of this
Lease and the Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord’s
obligations under this Paragraph 5.
|
6.
|
Operating
Expense Payments. During each month of the Lease Term, on the same
date
that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal
to 1/12
of the annual cost, as estimated by Landlord from time to time,
of
Tenant’s Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses
for the Project. Payments thereof for any fractional calendar month
shall
be prorated. The term “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance,
and
operation of the Project including, but not limited to, costs of:
Taxes
(hereinafter defined) and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys
for consultation and contesting taxes; insurance; utilities for
the common
area of the Project; maintenance, repair and replacement of all
portions
of the Project, including without limitation, paving and parking
areas,
roads, roofs, alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, exterior
painting, utility lines, common area lighting, electrical systems
and
other mechanical and building systems; amounts paid to contractors
and
subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with
any of
the foregoing; property management fees and reasonable administrative
costs, security services, if any; litter collection, sweeping and
removal;
and additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Project or
the
Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other than
those
expressly required herein to be made by Tenant) or that are appropriate
to
the continued operation of the Project or the Building as a Office
Tech
facility in the market area, provided that the cost of additions
or
alterations that are required to be capitalized for federal income
tax
purposes shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a period
equal
to the useful life thereof for federal income tax purposes. Operating
Expenses do not include debt service under mortgages or ground
rent under
ground leases, costs of restoration to the extent of net insurance
proceeds received by Landlord with respect thereto, leasing commissions,
or the costs of renovating space for
tenants.
|
If
Tenant’s total payments of Operating Expenses for any year are less than
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year, then
Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within 30 days after demand,
and if
more, then Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it against Tenant’s next
payments. For purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating
Expenses, a year shall mean a calendar year except the First year, which
shall
begin on the Commencement Date, and the last year, which shall end on the
expiration of this Lease. With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord
allocates to the entire Project, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the
percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant’s Proportionate
Share of the Project as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for
changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project; and, with respect
to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates only to the Building, Tenant’s
“Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of
this Lease as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Building as reasonably
adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the
Premises or the Building. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant’s Proportionate
Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates
to a
repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a
portion of the Project or Building that includes the Premises or that varies
with occupancy or use. The estimated Operating Expenses for the Premises
set
forth
on
the first page of this Lease are only estimates, and actual expenses may
differ
based on present and future years’ operational experience.
7. Utilities.
Tenant
shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, heat, light, power, telephone,
sewer,
refuse, and other utilities and services used on the Premises, all maintenance
charges for utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges
for
utilities imposed by any governmental entity or utility provider, together
with
any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like on these services pertaining
to
Tenant’s use of the Premises. . Tenant shall pay its share of all charges for
jointly metered utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined
by
Landlord. No interruption or failure of utilities shall result in the
termination of this Lease or the abatement of rent. If water and sewer are
master metered, Tenant shall pay it’s proportionate share of the actual cost of
the Building’s water/sewer charges in addition to its operating expense
payments.
8.
Taxes.
Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (collectively
referred to as Taxes”) that accrue against the Project during the Lease Term,
which shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant.
Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity,
or
application of any taxes or liens thereof. All capital levies or other taxes
assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under
this
Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, transaction, sales or privilege
tax,
assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon
such
rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be
paid
by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or upon demand, at
the
option of Landlord, as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall
Tenant be liable for any net income taxes imposed on Landlord unless such
net
income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any
such
tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant
shall
be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner
as
the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes
levied
or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises,
whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant.
9. |
Insurance.
Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering the
full
replacement cost of the Building. Landlord may, but is not obligated
to,
maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may
deem
necessary, including, but not limited to, commercial liability of
such
insurance allocable to the Project or Building will be determined
by
Landlord based upon the insurer’s cost calculations). Tenant shall also
reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance
as a
result of Tenant’s use of the Premises.
|
Tenant,
at its expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term: all risk property
insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements
installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense; worker’s
compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law;
employer’s liability insurance with such limits as required by law; and
commercial liability insurance, with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per
occurrence and a minimum umbrella limit of $1,000,000, for a total minimum
combined general liability and umbrella limit of $2,000,000 for property
damage,
personal injuries, or deaths of persons occurring in or about the Premises.
Landlord may from time to time require reasonable increases in any such limits.
The commercial liability policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured,
insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made basis, be issued by insurance
companies which are reasonably acceptable to Landlord, not be cancelable
unless
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord,
contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual liability endorsement
and
provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing
duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies).
Such policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant
upon commencement of the Lease Term and upon each renewal of said
insurance.
The
all
risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver
of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from
its
insured, against Landlord or Tenant, their officers, directors, employees,
managers, agents, invitees and contractors, in connection with any loss or
damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its officers, directors,
employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable to the
other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk property
insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and
its
officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors
for
such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall
not
void this waiver. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall
not
be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for,
business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or
any
person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence
in or
upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever, excluding without
limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by
the
negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

|
Tenant,
at its own cost and expense and without Landlord’s prior approval, may erect

the
basic character of the Premises, do not overload or damage the Premises,
and may
be removed without injury to the Premises, and the construction, erection,
and

Tenant shall be entitled to park in common with other tenants of
the
Project in those areas designated for nonreserved parking. Landlord
may
allocate parking spaces between Tenant and other tenants in the
Project if
Landlord determines that such parking facilities are becoming
crowded.
|
15.
|
Restoration.
If
at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by a
fire or
other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60)
days after
such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates
it will
take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is estimated
to
exceed six (6) months, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate
this Lease upon notice to the other party given no later than 30
days
after Landlord’s notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease
or if Landlord estimates that restoration will xxxx 0 months or
less,
then, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds, Landlord
shall
promptly restore the Premises excluding the improvements installed
by
Tenant or by Landlord and paid by Tenant, subject to delays arising
from
the collection of insurance proceeds or from Force Majeure events.
Tenant
at Tenant’s expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from
the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events,
all
repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and
shall
promptly re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance
with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may
terminate
this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of
the Lease
Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than
one
month to repair such damage. The cost of Landlord’s insurance deductible
shall be considered an Operating Expense in accordance with paragraph
6 of
this Lease. If the damage involves the premises of other tenants,
Tenant
shall pay the portion of the deductible that the cost of the restoration
of the Premises. bears to the total cost of restoration, as determined
by
Landlord. Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be abated for
the period
of repair and restoration in the proportion which the area of the
Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total
area of
the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant,
and
except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate
the Lease
by reason of damage or casualty
loss.
|
16.
|
Condemnation.
If
any part of the Premises or the Project should be taken for any
public or
quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation,
or by
right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof
(a
“Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would prevent or materially interfere
with Tenant’s use of the Premises or in Landlord’s judgment would
materially interfere with or impair its ownership or operation
of the
Project, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall
terminate
and Base Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of
the
Premises shall be Taken, and this lease is not terminated as provided
above, the Base Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease
Term
shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under
the
circumstances. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall
be entitled
to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without
any
payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s
interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right to
make a
separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord)
for
such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by
Tenant
for Tenant improvements, moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s Trade
Fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made to
Tenant.
|
17.
|
Assignment
and Subletting.
Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not assign this
Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage,
pledge, or
hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license
within the Premises and any attempt to do any of the foregoing
shall be
void and of no effect. For purposes of this paragraph, a transfer
of the
ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment
of
this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded.
Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises,
or
any part thereof~ to any entity controlling Tenant, controlled
by Tenant
or under common control with Tenant (a “Tenant Affiliate”), without the
prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for all
of Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any
assignment or sublease. Upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice
of a desire to assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof
(other
than to a Tenant Affiliate), Landlord may, by giving written notice
to
Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, terminate this
Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant’s notice, as of the
date specified in Tenant’s notice for the commencement of the proposed
assignment or sublease.
|
Notwithstanding
any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible
and
liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other
obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord’s approval has been
obtained for any such assignments or sublettings). In the event that the
rent
due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (on a combination of the rental
payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration
therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease,
then
Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder
all such excess rental and other excess consideration within 10 days following
receipt thereof by Tenant.
If
this
Lease be assigned or if the Premises be subleased (whether in whole or in
part)
or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant’s leasehold
interest or grant of any concession or license within the Premises or if
the
Premises be occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then
upon
a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect rent from the assignee,
sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was
hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the
extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to
the
next rent payable hereunder; and all such rentals collected by Tenant shall
be
held in trust for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such
transaction or collection of rent or application thereof by Landlord, however,
shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from
the
further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations
hereunder.
18.
|
Indemnification.
Except for the gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees
or
contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees
to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, and Landlord’s agents,
employees and contractors, from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person
and
damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring
in or
about the Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the
Premises
or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered
by Tenant
in or about the Premises or due to any other act or omission of
Tenant,
its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and
agents.
The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed
to
limit Tenant’s obligations under of this Paragraph
18.
|
19.
|
Inspection
and Access.
Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter
the
Premises during business hours or at anytime in the event of an
emergency,
to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required
or
permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose.
Landlord and Landlord’s representatives may enter the Premises during
business hours for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective
purchasers and, during the last year of the Lease Term, to prospective
tenants. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating
the
Premises are available to let or that the Project is available
for sale.
Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate
common
areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises, provided
that no
such easement, dedications designation or restriction materially
interferes with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. At Landlord’s
request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary
for
such easements, dedications or
restrictions.
|
20.
|
Quiet
Enjoyment.
If
Tenant shall perform all of the covenants and agreements herein
required
to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of
this
Lease, at all times during the lease Term, have peaceful and quiet
enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through
or under
Landlord.
|
21.
|
Surrender.
Upon termination of the Lease Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s
right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord
in
the same condition as received, broom clean, ordinary wear and
tear and
casualty loss and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 15 and 16
excepted.
Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations and property not so
removed by
Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned
and may

similar right or option) shall be applicable during such holdover period,
except

the holdover period, an amount equal to double the Base Rent in effect on
the

by
Landlord as a result of such holding over. No holding over by Tenant, whether

Landlord’s
Remedies.
Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such
Event of
Default shall be continuing, Landlord may at any time thereafter
at its
election: terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, (but
Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided) and/or pursue
any
other remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this
Lease or
termination of Tenant’s right of possession, it shall be lawful for
Landlord, without formal demand or notice of any kind, to re-enter
the
Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action
or
proceeding authorized by law and to remove Tenant and all persons
and
property therefrom. If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord
shall
have the right to keep in place and use, or sell all of Tenant’s
furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises, subject to any
existing
superior or properly filed UCC statement
lien.
|
If
Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum
of: all
Base Rent and all other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of such
termination; the cost of reletting the whole or any part of the Premises,
including without limitation brokerage fees and/or leasing commissions incurred
by Landlord, and costs of removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s
property, repairing, , or otherwise putting the Premises into the same condition
as originally received following completion of the tenant improvements ,
and all
reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing its remedies, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs; and the excess of the then present
value of the Base Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease
as
would otherwise have been required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during
the
period following the termination of this Lease measured from the date of
such
termination to the expiration date stated in this Lease, over the present
value
of any net amounts which Tenant establishes Landlord can reasonably expect
to
recover by reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration
the
availability of acceptable tenants and other market conditions affecting
leasing. Such present values shall be calculated at a discount rate equal
to the
90-day U.S. Treasury xxxx rate at the date of such termination.
If
Landlord terminates Tenant’s right of possession (but not this Lease), Landlord
may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the Premises for the account
of
Tenant for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord
without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without
demand
or notice of any kind to Tenant. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord
is
authorized to make any repairs, in or to the Premises as Landlord deems
reasonably necessary If the Premises are not relet, then Tenant shall pay
to
Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this
Lease for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession
of the
Premises (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent and
other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of repossession, and the costs
incurred in any attempt by Landlord to relet the Premises. If the Premises
are
relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting [after
first deducting therefrom, for retention by Landlord, the unpaid Base Rent
and
other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering
possession (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), all of the costs and
expense of repairs, the expense of such reletting (including without limitation
brokerage fees and leasing commissions) and the cost of collection of the
rent
accruing therefrom] to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be
paid,
then Tenant shall immediately satisfy and pay any such deficiency. Any such
payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand therefor from time to time
and
Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due
from
time to time. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such
previous breach.
Exercise
by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available
shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or
a
termination of this Lease by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation
of
law, it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can be effected
only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or
custom
to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times
to
enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms
hereof;
and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this
Lease
strictly in accordance with same shall not be construed as having created
a
custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and
covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord
further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights
pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of
Landlord’s right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any
subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver
of
such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this lease shall
be
deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord.
To
the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant requires the service of notice
of
Landlord’s intention to re-enter as provided for in any statute, or to institute
legal proceedings to that end, and also waives all right of redemption in
case
Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or
judge.
The terms “enter,” “re-enter,” “entry” or “re-entry,” as used in this Lease, are
not restricted to their technical legal meanings. Any reletting of the Premises
shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion
may
determine including without limitation a term different than the remaining
Lease
Term, rental concessions, repair of the Premises, lease of less than the
entire
Premises to any tenant and leasing any or all other portions of the Project
before reletting the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant’s
obligations hereunder be diminished because of Landlord’s failure to relet the
Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting.
25. Tenant’s
Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord
shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of
its
obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant
specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature
of the
obligation, require a period of time in excess of thirty (30) days, then
after
such period of time as is reasonably necessary). All obligations of Landlord
hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions, and, except as
may be
otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this
Lease
for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. All obligations of Landlord
under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of
its
ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” in this Lease
shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the
event
of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner
shall
thereupon be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter
accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon
each
new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership. Any liability of Landlord
under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Project,
and in
no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection
with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets
of
Landlord.
26.
Waiver
of Jury Trial.
TENANT
AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE
IN
RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE,
BETWEEN
LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT,
OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO
27. Subordination.
This
lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and
subordinate at all times to the lien of any first mortgage, now existing
or
hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments,
restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments
and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or
act
on the part of Tenant. Tenant agrees, at the election of the holder of any
such
mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute,
acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination and
such
instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder. Tenant
hereby appoints Landlord attorney in fact for Tenant irrevocably (such power
of
attorney being coupled with an interest) to execute, acknowledge and deliver
any
such instrument and instruments for and in the name of the Tenant and to
cause
any such instrument to be recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s
consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be
deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of
execution, delivery or recording and in that event such holder shall have
the
same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed
prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such mortgage and had been
assigned to such holder. The term “mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall
be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other
encumbrances, and any reference to the “holder” of a mortgage shall be deemed to
include the beneficiary under a deed of trust.
28. Mechanic’s
Liens. Tenant
has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance
of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant
in, the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim
in
favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish
materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs. Tenant covenants
and
agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable
by
it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection
with
any work performed on the Premises and that it will save and hold Landlord
harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted
claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the interest of Landlord
in the Premises or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate
written notice of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the Premises
and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged within sixty (60) days
of
the filing or recording thereof; provided, however, Tenant may contest such
liens or encumbrances as long as such contest prevents foreclosure of the
lien
or encumbrance and Tenant causes such lien or encumbrance to be bonded or
insured over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord within such sixty (60)
day
period.
29. Estoppel
Certificate. Tenant
agrees, from time to time, within ten (10) days after request of Landlord,
to
execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee, any estoppel
certificate requested by Landlord, stating that this Lease is in full force
and
effect, the date to which rent has been paid, that Landlord is not in default
hereunder (or specifying in detail the nature of Landlord’s default), the
termination date of this Lease and such other matters pertaining to this
Lease
as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to furnish each estoppel
certificate in a timely fashion is a material inducement for Landlord’s
execution of this Lease. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall
apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate. Tenant
hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney in fact to execute on
its
behalf and in its name any such estoppel certificate if Tenant fails to execute
and deliver the estoppel certificate within ten (10) days after Landlord’s
written request thereof.

in it’s
normal course of business or materials used in de minimis quantities
for
ordinary cleaning and office purposes, Tenant shall not permit

any party to bring any Hazardous Material upon the Premises or
transport,
store, use, generate, manufacture or release any Hazardous Material
in or
about the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises
in
strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements and shall
remediate
in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released
on
or from the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
subtenants or invitees. Tenant shall complete and certify to disclosure
statements as requested by Landlord from time to time relating
to Tenant’s
transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture or release
of
Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term “Environmental Requirements”
means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations,
ordinances,
rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of
any
governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health,
safety,
or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or
the
environment, including without limitation, the following: the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act; the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local
counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated
or
issued thereunder. The term ‘Hazardous Materials” means and includes any
substance, material, waste, pollutant, or containment listed or
defined as
hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos
and
petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof; natural
gas
liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel
(or
mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in
Environmental requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be
the
“operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous
Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues
generated, resulting, or produced
therefrom.
|
Tenant
shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any
and all
losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises
or
the Project and loss of rental income from the Project), claims, demands,
actions, suits, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages),
expenses (including, without limitation, remediation, removal, repair,
corrective action, or cleanup expenses), and costs (including, without
limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, consultant fees or expert fees and
including, without limitation, removal or management of any asbestos brought
into the property or disturbed in breach of the requirements of this Paragraph
30, regardless of whether such removal or management is required by law)
which
are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as
a
result of any release of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is obligated
to
remediate as provided above or any other breach of the requirements under
this
Paragraph 30 by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants,
assignees or invitees, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such
noncompliance. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 30 shall survive
any
termination
of this Lease.
Landlord,
during normal business hours shall have access to, and a right to perform
inspections and tests of; the Premises to determine Tenant’s compliance with
Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this Paragraph 30, or the
environmental condition of the Premises. Access shall be granted to Landlord
upon Landlord’s prior notice to Tenant and at such times so as to minimize, so
far as may be reasonable under the circumstances, any disturbance to Tenant’s
operations. Such inspections and tests shall be conducted at Landlord’s expense,
unless such inspections or tests reveal that Tenant has not complied with
any
Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for the
reasonable cost of such inspection and tests. Landlord’s receipt of or
satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights
that
Landlord holds against Tenant.

and any
extension thereof; comply with all reasonable rules and regulations
at any
time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use

the
Project, except to enforce the provisions of the other Tenants
lease.

the
Project, Landlord is not providing any security services with respect
to
the Premises and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for,
and
Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss
by
theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection
with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach
of
security with respect to the Premises. Tenant may, at its sole
cost and
expense, install a security alarm system in the
Premises.

enemy or
hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty,
and
other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (“Force

with
respect to the subject matter hereof. No representations, inducements,
