FLEX SPACE OFFICE LEASE
Exhibit 10.11
THIS LEASE, made this 12th day of April, 2000, by and between X. X. Xxxx Real
Estate Investment Trust (hereinafter “Landlord”); and BroadSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter “Tenant”).
1. Premises. For and in consideration of the rent hereinafter reserved and the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, Landlord does hereby lease and demise unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby
hire, lease and accept, from Landlord, Suite No. 1 containing approximately 30,000 gross rentable
square feet of space (the “Gross Area”) measured in accordance with Washington D.C. Association of
Realtors standards located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, the (“Building”),
situated on Avenel Business Park, Phase VI (the “Property”) all upon the terms and conditions
hereafter set forth. That portion of the Gross Area which Tenant shall be entitled to occupy is
hereinafter referred to as the “Premises” or “Demised Premises”, and is outlined in red on the
floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A and by this reference made a part hereof. It is
specifically understood that for purposes of calculating any payments or pro-rations hereunder, the
number of gross rentable square feet set forth above shall control.
2. Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the date hereof (the “Lease Date”) and shall end
one hundred twenty (120) months after the “Rent Commencement Date”, as hereinafter defined. The
“Rent Commencement Date” shall be the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days
after Landlord substantially completes the construction work described in Article 26 below
(“Landlord’s Work”), or (ii) the date that Tenant commences to operate its business in the
Premises. In the event the Rent Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar
month, the term of the Lease shall run for the number of months set forth above from the first day
of the calendar month following the Rent Commencement Date. The parties agree that they shall
execute an agreement specifying the Rent Commencement Date and the date of termination of this
Lease and such other matters as Landlord may reasonably require (e.g., substantially in compliance
with the “Commencement and Estoppel Agreement” attached hereto as Exhibit D). Tenant agrees, to
execute and deliver to Landlord said agreement within five (5) business days’ after receipt of
written notice from Landlord.
(a) Commencing with the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as annual rent for the
Premises the sum of Four Hundred Forty-two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($442,500.00)
per annum, payable in equal monthly installments of Thirty-six Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-five
and 00/100 Dollars ($36,875.00) each (the “Base Rent”). All such monthly installments of rent shall
be payable to Landlord at the address specified in Article 33 of this Lease, in advance, without
previous notice or demand therefor, and without deduction, setoff or recoupment, with the first
monthly installment to be due and payable no later than the Rent Commencement Date and each
subsequent monthly installment to be due and payable on the first day of each and every month
following the Rent Commencement Date during the term hereof. If the Rent Commencement Date is a
date other than the first day of a month, rent for the period commencing with and including the
Rent Commencement Date until the first day of the
following month shall be pro-rated at the rate of one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the fixed monthly
rental per day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is not in default of any of the terms and
conditions of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods during the operative time period
(the “Abatement Period”), all Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to this
Articles 3 shall be partially abated (i) at the rate of fifty percent (50%) abatement (.e.g., Base
Rent of $18,437.50) during the first three (3) full months of the first Lease Year (and, in the
event the Rent Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a month, during the period
beginning on the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Rent
Commencement Date so occurs); and (ii) at the rate of twenty five percent (25%) abatement (e.g.,
Base Rent of $27,656.25) during the fourth, fifth and sixth full months of the first Lease Year.
The foregoing abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent (the “Rent Abatement”) represents
Landlord’s contribution toward work required by Tenant to open for business in the Premises.
(b) The amounts set forth in this Lease for payment of Minimum Rent are predicated upon the
Premises being the size recited in Article 1. Promptly upon delivery of possession of the Premises
by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord will cause its architect to measure and certify to Tenant the
square footage of floor area of the Premises in accordance with Washington D.C. Association of
Realtors standards, and if said measurement indicates that the Premises are larger or smaller than
the size recited in this Lease, the parties hereto shall promptly execute a supplemental instrument
adjusting, as applicable, the amounts payable by Tenant for Minimum Rent to conform to such
measurement. If Tenant shall have made any payments to Landlord prior to the determination of such
exact measurement, a prompt adjustment shall be made in said payments to reflect the accurate
figures.
(a) Commencing on the first day of the second Lease Year (as hereinafter defined) and on the
first day of every Year thereafter during the term hereof, the annual Base Rent (without deduction
for rent abatement, if any) shall be increased by three percent (3%) of the amount of the annual
Base Rent which was in effect during the Lease Year immediately preceding the Lease Year for which
the adjustment is being made, payable by Tenant as additional monthly rent.
(b) For all purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall be defined to mean a period of
twelve (12) full calendar months. The first Lease Year shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date
(or on the first day of the first calendar month following the Rent Commencement Date if said date
is other than the first day of a calendar month), and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on
the anniversary date of the beginning of the first Lease Year.
(a) Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, its Pro-Rata Share (as hereinafter
defined) of Annual Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined).
(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Rent Commencement Date and on the first day of each
calendar month thereafter, as its estimated payment of the Annual Operating Costs, the sum of
$10,750.00, calculated at the rate of $4.30 per square foot. If the Rent Commencement Date is a
date other than the first day of the month, Tenant’s Pro-Rate shall be pro-rated in the same manner
as Base Rent under Article 3 hereof. Within one hundred eighty (180) days following each September
30th during the term hereof, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement (the “Annual Statement”)
in reasonable detail of the actual Annual Operating Costs for the twelve month period ending
September 30th of each year (“Fiscal Year”). If such statement shows that Tenant’s share of the
actual Annual Operating Costs exceeded Tenant’s aggregate monthly payments, then Tenant shall
immediately pay the total amount of such deficiency to Landlord. Thereafter, upon receipt of such
succeeding Annual Statement, Tenant’s monthly payments during the period covered by said Annual
Statement shall be adjusted to the actual Annual Operating Cost, and such adjustment shall be paid
within thirty (30) days of the date of said Statement. Conversely, if such Annual Statement shows
that Tenant has overpaid its share of the actual Annual Operating Costs in making its monthly
payments, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next succeeding monthly payment(s)
of Annual Operating Costs to the extent of such overpayment (or, in the event such credit becomes
due after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such credit shall be remitted
directly to Tenant). The amount of the actual Annual Statement shall be used as the basis for
calculating Tenant’s monthly payments for the next succeeding twelve (12) month period.
(c) All monthly payments as may be required hereunder shall be payable in full on the first
day of each of the calendar month. Failure of the Landlord to provide any Annual Statement within
the said one hundred eighty (180) day period shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its
rights to payments due pursuant to this Article, and the obligations hereunder shall survive the
expiration or other termination of this Lease.
(d) For any applicable Fiscal Year that begins prior to the Rent Commencement Date or ends
after the expiration date of this Lease, the amount due for that Fiscal Year shall be apportioned
on a per diem basis so that only that portion attributable to the portion of such Fiscal Year that
occurs during the term of this Lease, shall be payable by Tenant.
(e) The Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share as used herein shall mean 100% of the Annual Operating Costs
for the Building and the Property.
(f) Annual Operating Costs as used herein shall mean all costs of operation, maintenance and
repair of the Property, (except structural repairs), and its appurtenances, and shall include the
following by way of illustration but not limitation: Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined),
the cost of labor, materials and services for the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building
and its appurtenances (including service roads and parking areas), including but not limited to,
water and sewer charges; heating, ventilating and air conditioning maintenance and repairs (subject
to the limitations hereinafter set forth in this Article 5); refuse and rubbish disposal; snow
removal; license, permits and inspection fees; reasonable maintenance and service contracts;
management fees; all landscaping costs (including reasonable upgrades and replacements thereto);
parking lot lighting; watchman, guards, and any personnel engaged in the operation, maintenance or
repair of the Property and its appurtenances together with payroll taxes and employee benefits
applicable thereto; reserve for asphalt and roof repairs;
Landlord’s administrative costs equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Annual Operating Costs
(excluding Real Estate Taxes); and insurance. It is understood and agreed that management fees may
be charged by Landlord or any other person or entity on the basis of a specified percentage of the
gross receipts derived from the Building or on any other basis, provided that, in the case of
management fees charged by Landlord, such fees shall not exceed the greater of five percent (5%) of
gross receipts of the building or the customary management fees charged for similar properties in
the same geographic area. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Annual Operating Costs
shall not include:
(i) expenses incurred in leasing or procuring tenants (including lease commissions, advertising
expenses and expenses of renovating space for tenants);
(ii) interest or amortization payments on any mortgages or deeds of trust;
(iii) net basic rents under ground leases;
(iv) costs specifically billed to and paid by specific tenants and not to tenants generally;
(v) legal fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord or agents in connection with the
negotiations of leases or enforcement of leases other than this Lease;
(vi) allowances, concessions, permits, licenses, inspections, and other costs and expenses incurred
in the initial build-out of the Building;
(vii) costs incurred due to violations by Landlord of the terms and conditions of any lease;
(viii) costs incurred for any item to the extent of Landlord’s recovery under a manufacturer’s,
materialmen’s, vendor’s or contractor’s warranty, if any;
(ix) costs of acquisition of sculpture, paintings or other objects of art;
(x) costs of repairs incurred by reason of condemnation to the extent Landlord receives
compensation therefor through condemnation or similar awards;
(xi) costs relating to maintaining Landlord’s existence, either as a corporation, partnership,
trust or other entity;
(xii) any penalties or interest expenses incurred because of Landlord’s failure to timely pay Real
Estate Taxes;
(xiii) costs of any repairs or improvements to the Building resulting from a fire or other
casualty, to the extent such repairs are covered and reimbursed by the insurance which Landlord
maintains hereunder;
(xiv) except as it pertains to directly to the operation, repair, maintenance and management of
this Building, Landlord’s general overhead expenses;
(xv) costs arising from the removal of hazardous materials in, about or below the Building or the
Property due to governmental regulations enacted prior to the date hereof; and
(xvi) except as it pertains to directly to the operation, repair, maintenance and management of
this Building accounting fees or other similar expenses incurred by the Landlord or its agents.
(g) The term “Real Estate Taxes” means all taxes, rates and assessments, general and special,
levied or imposed with respect to the land, buildings and improvements comprising the Property,
including all taxes, rates and assessments, general and special, levied or imposed for schools,
public betterment, general or local improvement and operations and taxes imposed in connection with
any special taxing district. If the system of real estate taxation shall be altered or varied and
any new tax or levy shall be levied or imposed on said land, buildings and improvements, and/or
Landlord in substitution for real estate taxes presently levied or imposed on immovables in the
jurisdiction where the Building is located, then any such new tax or levy shall be included within
the term “Real Estate Taxes”. Should any governmental taxing authority acting under any regulation,
levy, assess, or impose a tax, excise and/or assessment however described (other than an income or
franchise tax) upon, against, on account of, or measured by, in whole or in part, the rent
expressly reserved hereunder, or upon the rent expressly reserved under any other leases or
leasehold interests in the Property, as a substitute (in whole or in part) or in addition to any
existing real estate taxes on land and buildings and otherwise, such tax or excise on rents shall
be included within the term “Real Estate Taxes”. In the event Landlord is required to pay Real
Estate Taxes in advance, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall immediately be entitled to reimbursement
therefor. Reasonable expenses (consisting of attorneys’ fees, consulting fees, expert witness fees
and similar costs) incurred by Landlord in obtaining or attempting to obtain a reduction of any
Real Estate Taxes shall be added to and included in the amount of any such Real Estate Taxes, but
only if such efforts have been requested by the Tenant in writing or otherwise approved by Tenant
in writing. Real Estate Taxes which are being contested by Landlord shall nevertheless be included
for purposes of the computation of the liability of Tenant under this Article, provided, however,
that in the event that Tenant shall have paid any amount of increased rent pursuant to this Article
5 and the Landlord shall thereafter receive a refund of any portion of any Real Estate Taxes on
which such payment shall have been based, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the appropriate portion of
such refund. Landlord shall have no obligation to contest, object to or litigate the levying or
imposition of any Real Estate Taxes. Landlord shall not settle, compromise, consent to, waive or
otherwise determine to abandon any contest with respect to the amount of any Real Estate Taxes
without first obtaining the consent or approval of the Tenant, which consent or approval shall not
be unnecessarily withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(a) Tenant shall (i) pay all charges for water, sewer, and electricity used by Tenant during
the term of this Lease and metering therefor; (ii) pay all telephone charges; and (iii) be
responsible for the prompt and sanitary storage of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish in the Premises.
(b) Any amounts required to be paid by Tenant hereunder and any charges or expenses incurred
by Landlord on behalf of Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall be
considered additional rent payable in the same manner and upon the same terms and conditions
as the rent reserved hereunder. Any failure on the part of Tenant to pay such additional rental
when and as the same shall become due shall entitle Landlord to the remedies available to it for
non-payment of rent. Tenant’s failure to object to any statement, invoice or billing rendered by
the Landlord within a period of thirty (30) days after actual receipt thereof shall constitute
Tenant’s acquiescence with respect thereto, and such statement, invoice or billing shall thereafter
be deemed to be correct and shall be an account stated between Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant
requests that Landlord prepare, review, or execute any document, consent or waiver in connection
with this Lease or otherwise, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent a
fee, in the amount of $500.00 to compensate Landlord for the cost of reviewing and processing any
such request, and Landlord shall not be obligated to process any such request of Tenant until
Tenant has paid Landlord the applicable processing fee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require
that Landlord consent to, execute or approve any document, consent or waiver submitted to Landlord
by Tenant notwithstanding Tenant’s payment of the applicable processing fee.
(c) Payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than shall be due shall be deemed to be payment on
account, and shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction with respect to the underlying
obligation. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or
statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment
in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any
other rights or remedies which it may have against the Tenant.
7. Laws and Ordinances. Tenant will, at its own cost, promptly comply with and carry out all
orders, requirements or conditions now or hereafter imposed upon it by the ordinances, laws and/or
regulations of the municipality, county and/or state in which the Premises are located, whether
required of Landlord or otherwise, in the conduct of Tenant’s business, including, without
limitation, all local, state and federal laws and regulations respecting the storage, handling and
use of any hazardous waste, infectious waste or other hazardous materials, except that Landlord
shall comply with any orders affecting structural walls and columns unless due to Tenant’s
particular business or use of the Premises. Tenant will indemnify and save Landlord harmless from
all penalties, claims, and demands resulting from Tenant’s failure or negligence in this respect.
(a) Tenant shall not place a load upon the floor of the Premises exceeding one hundred
twenty-five (125) pounds per square foot without Landlord’s prior written consent. Business
machines, mechanical equipment and materials belonging to Tenant which cause vibration, noise,
cold, heat or fumes that may be transmitted to the Building or to any other leased space therein to
such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or to any other tenant in the Building shall be
placed, maintained, isolated, stored and/or vented by Tenant at its sole expense so as to absorb
and prevent such vibration, noise, cold, heat or fumes. Tenant shall not keep within or about the
Premises any dangerous, inflammable, toxic or explosive material. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord
and hold it harmless against any and all damage, injury, or claims resulting from the moving of
Tenant’s equipment, furnishings and/or materials into or out of the Premises or from the storage or
operation of the same. Any and all damage or injury to the
Premises, the Building, or the Property caused by such moving, storage or operation shall be
repaired by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost.
(b) Tenant shall not install any equipment whatsoever which will or may necessitate any
changes, replacements or additions to the water system, plumbing system, heating system, air
conditioning system or the electrical system of the Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, pay all charges for electricity used by the
Tenant during the term of this Lease, including that used for interior lighting and the operation
of the heating and air conditioning system in the Premises. All equipment and fixtures hereafter
installed and paid for by Tenant in the Premises shall be in good operating condition and repair,
subject to the provisions of Section 16(d) herein, shall remain the property of Tenant and shall be
removable by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease provided
that (i) Tenant shall not at such a time be in default under this Lease, and (ii) in the event of
the removal of any or all of such equipment and fixtures Tenant shall promptly restore the damage
done to the Premises by the installation and/or removal thereof. Should Tenant fail to so remove
Tenant’s trade fixtures and/or to so restore the Premises, Landlord may do so, collecting, at
Landlord’s option, the cost and expenses thereof, as Additional Rent, upon demand. Any such
equipment and fixtures which are not removed and those which by the terms of this Lease are not
removable by Tenant at or prior to any termination of this Lease including, but not limited to, a
termination by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, shall, unless Landlord gives Tenant notice to
remove any or all of such trade fixtures, be and become the property of Landlord (without any
obligation by Landlord to pay compensation for such equipment and fixtures). If Landlord gives
Tenant such notice to remove any or all of such equipment and fixtures, Tenant shall promptly
remove such of the trade fixtures as may be specified by Landlord in such notice. Notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary or any decision of any court to the contrary, the terms
“equipment” and “fixtures” shall not include any air-conditioning, heating, lighting, electrical
and plumbing equipment installed by Tenant in the Premises, nor any wiring or other apparatus
related thereto, or any items either installed by or paid for by Landlord.
(a) Tenant shall make no alterations or changes, structural or otherwise, to any part of the
Premises, either exterior or interior, without Landlord’s written consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant may make interior, non-structural alterations to the Premises without first
obtaining Landlord’s consent if (i) the alterations do not require the issuance of a governmental
permit (i.e., are generally cosmetic or decorative in nature), and (ii) Tenant provides Landlord
with any and all detailed plans and specifications produced by or on behalf of Tenant for all such
alterations. In the event of any such approved changes, Tenant shall have all work done at its own
expense. Request for such consent shall be accompanied by plans stating in detail precisely what is
to be done. Tenant shall comply with the building codes, regulations and laws now or hereafter to
be made or enforced in the municipality, county and/or state, which pertain to such work. Except to
the extent expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, any additions, improvements,
alterations and/or installations made by Tenant to the Premises (except only movable office
furniture and fixtures) shall become and remain a part of the Premises and shall, at Landlord’s
option, become Landlord’s property upon the termination of Tenant’s occupancy of said Premises;
provided, however, that if Landlord gives written notice to Tenant at the expiration or other
termination of this Lease to such effect, it may require Tenant to restore said
Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the condition in which the Premises were in on
the Rent Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall save Landlord harmless
from and against all expenses, liens, claims or damages to either property or person which may or
might arise by reason of the making of any such additions, improvements, alterations and/or
installations. Landlord reserves the right to change, increase or reduce, from time to time, the
number, composition, dimensions or location of any parking areas, signs, the Building name, service
areas, walkways, roadways or other common areas or make alterations or additions to the Building,
in its sole discretion. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications under this Article
9 or any other provisions of this Lease is solely for the purpose of ascertaining whether Tenant’s
proposed alterations will have an adverse impact on the structural components or Common Facilities
of the Building and to insure the aesthetic and architectural harmony of the Tenant’s proposed
alterations with the remainder of the Building. No approval of plans by Landlord shall be deemed to
be a representation or warranty by Landlord that such plans or the work provided for therein will
comply with applicable codes, laws or regulations or be in conformance with any insurance or other
requirements which affect the Premises or the Building, and Tenant shall have the sole
responsibility of complying with all such requirements notwithstanding Landlord’s approval of
Tenant’s plans. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, any and all alterations which are to be installed in
or on the Premises as part of “Tenant’s Work” (as such term is defined in Article 55 below) shall
be approved in accordance with the terms of said Article 55.
(b) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR OR MATERIALS
FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT UPON CREDIT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS’ OR OTHER LIEN FOR ANY
SUCH LABOR OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE ESTATE OR INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN AND TO THE
PREMISES OR THE BUILDING. WHENEVER AND AS OFTEN AS ANY LIEN ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY WORK PERFORMED, MATERIALS FURNISHED OR OBLIGATIONS INCURRED BY OR ON BEHALF OF TENANT SHALL
HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST THE PREMISES OR THE BUILDING, OR IF ANY CONDITIONAL XXXX OF SALE SHALL HAVE
BEEN FILED FOR OR AFFECTING ANY MATERIALS, MACHINERY OR FIXTURES USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR
OR OPERATION THEREOF, OR ANNEXED THERETO BY TENANT, TENANT SHALL FORTHWITH TAKE SUCH ACTION BY
BONDING, DEPOSIT OR PAYMENT AS WILL REMOVE OR SATISFY THE LIEN OR CONDITIONAL XXXX OF SALE WITHIN
TEN (10) DAYS OF LANDLORD’S WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR.
10. Damage. If the Premises are damaged by fire or other cause covered by Landlord’s policy of fire
insurance with extended coverage or other property damage insurance carried by Landlord, all damage
to the structural portions of use building required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to this
Lease shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord and the Rent and all Additional Rent
reserved hereunder until such repairs shall have been made shall xxxxx pro-rata according to the
part of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant. However, if such damage was caused by the
negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, then all rentals
shall be payable by Tenant during such period. Due allowance shall be made for reasonable delay
which may arise by reason of adjustment of fire insurance on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant,
and for delay on account of “labor troubles” or any other cause
beyond Landlord’s control. If, however, the Premises are rendered wholly untenantable by fire or
other cause, and inadequate funds are made available to Landlord through insurance proceeds to
restore the Premises and/or the Building, Landlord may, at its option, cancel and terminate this
Lease by giving Tenant, within sixty (60) days from the date of such damage, notice in writing of
its intention to cancel this Lease, whereupon the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate upon
the third day after such notice is given, and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the
same to Landlord, but in none of the certain contingencies in this Article mentioned shall there be
any liability on the part of Landlord to Tenant covering or in respect of any period during which
the occupation of said Premises by Tenant may not be possible because of the matters hereinabove
stated. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall not be responsible for consequential
damages, lost profits or any damage to Tenant’s personal property. If Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease as provided above, Landlord shall proceed in a commercially reasonable manner
to repair the portions of the Premises which Landlord is required to restore in accordance with
this Article 10 and, upon the completion of such repairs, Tenant shall use diligent and
commercially reasonable efforts to repair the portions of the Premises which are the responsibility
of Tenant to insure under this Lease.
11. Condemnation. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be taken by any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority pursuant to the power of eminent domain, or by deed in lieu thereof,
Tenant agrees to make no claim for compensation in the proceedings, and hereby assigns to Landlord
any rights which Tenant may have to any portion of any award made as a result of such taking, and
this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken by the condemning authority and
rental shall be adjusted to such date. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall be entitled to
claim, prove and receive in the condemnation proceedings such awards as may be allowed for
relocation expenses and for fixtures and other equipment installed by it which shall not, under the
terms of this Lease, be or become the property of Landlord at the termination hereof, but only if
such awards shall be made by the condemnation court in addition to and stated separately from the
award made by it for the land and the Building or part thereof so taken. If the nature, location or
extent of any proposed condemnation affecting the Building is such that Landlord elects in good
faith to demolish the Building, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving at least sixty
(60) days’ written notice of termination to Tenant at any time after such condemnation and this
Lease shall terminate on the date specified in such notice.
12. Use of Premises. The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for the purpose of
general office use, receiving, storing, light assembly and selling (other than retail) products,
materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant and for no other purpose whatsoever.
The Premises shall not be used for any illegal purpose or in violation of any valid regulation of
any governmental body, or in any manner to (i) create any nuisance or trespass; (ii) unreasonably
annoy or embarrass Landlord or any other tenant of the Property; (iii) vitiate any insurance; or
(iv) alter the classification or increase the rate of insurance on the property.
13. Repairs by Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for repairing, maintaining and cleaning the
Premises and the fixtures therein, keeping same in good order and condition during the term of this
Lease at its sole cost and expense, and will, at the expiration or other termination of the term
hereof, surrender and deliver up the same and all keys, locks and other fixtures connected
therewith (except only office furniture and business equipment) in safe, clean, sanitary, and
non-hazardous condition, and otherwise in good order and condition, as the same were required to be
in on the date Tenant occupied the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, ordinary wear and
tear excepted.
14. Repairs by Landlord. Landlord shall have no duty to Tenant to make any repairs or improvements
to the interior of the Premises except structural repairs necessary for safety and tenantability,
and then only if not brought about by any act or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees or
invitees. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused to the person or property of Tenant,
its agents, employees or invitees, due to the Property or the Building or any part or appurtenances
thereof being improperly constructed or being or becoming out of repair, or arising from the
leaking of water or sewer, or from electricity, or from any other cause whatsoever. Tenant agrees
to report immediately in writing to Landlord any defective condition in or about the Premises known
to Tenant which Landlord is required to repair, and a failure to so report shall make Tenant liable
to Landlord for any expense, damage or liability resulting from such defects. Landlord shall not be
liable for failure to furnish or for suspension or delay in furnishing such services due to
breakdown, maintenance, or repair work, strike, riot, civil commotion, governmental action or any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or for interruptions of service for
reasonable periods in connection with construction work being performed in the Building. Landlord
hereby reserves the exclusive right at any time and from time to time to install, use, repair,
inspect and replace pipes, ducts conduits and wires leading through or located adjacent to the
Premises and serving other parts of the Building in locations which do not materially interfere
with Tenant’s use thereof. Landlord’s right hereunder may be exercised by Landlord’s designees.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, from time to time, it will be necessary for Landlord to
temporarily interrupt the electrical or other utility service to the Premises in order to perform
maintenance and repair service on the utility systems serving the Property, or in connection with
supplying such utility service to new or existing tenants of the Property. Landlord will give
Tenant reasonable advance notice in writing of any such interruptions in service (except any
interruptions due to emergencies) and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the
interruption of Tenant’s business as a result of such interruptions. Notwithstanding the aforesaid,
with respect to property damage only, Landlord will be liable for property damage caused by the
gross negligence or wanton or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or
contactors, subject, however, to the waiver of subrogation provisions set forth in subparagraph 17
(g) below.
15. Roof Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have the exclusive
right to use all or any portion of the roof of the Building for any purposes. Notwithstanding the
aforesaid, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the roof of the Building in accordance
with the provisions of Article 58 hereof.
16. Landlord’s Remedies Upon Default. Tenant shall be in default under this Lease if Tenant (i)
fails to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges or money obligation to
be paid by Tenant hereunder within ten (10) days after the same shall become due (all of which
monetary obligations of Tenant shall bear interest at the highest rate allowable by law, not to
exceed 18% per annum from the date due until paid); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be in
default with respect to the first two (2) monetary payments received after such ten (10) day period
in any Lease Year until five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice of such late
payment; or (ii) defaults in the performance of any of the covenants, terms or provisions of this
Lease (other than the payment, when due, of any of Tenant’s monetary
obligations hereunder) or any of the Rules and Regulations now or hereafter established by Landlord
to govern the operation of this Building and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof from Landlord; or (iii) abandons the Premises or fails to keep the
Premises continuously and uninterruptedly open for business; or (iv) files a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy, or any similar petition seeking relief under any present or future federal, or other
bankruptcy or insolvency statue or law; or if a proceeding under any present or future federal,
state or other bankruptcy or insolvency statute or law shall be filed against Tenant or any asset
of Tenant, and such proceeding shall not have been dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days of
the date of such filing; or (v) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Upon the
occurrence of any of the above events, Landlord, at its option, may pursue any one or more of the
following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever:
(a) Landlord, at its option, may at once, or at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease by
written notice to Tenant, whereupon this Lease shall end. Upon such termination by Landlord, Tenant
will at once surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord and remove all of Tenant’s effects
therefrom, and Landlord may forthwith re-enter the Premises and repossess itself thereof, and
remove all persons and effects therefrom, using such force as may be necessary but without
disturbing the peace, without being guilty of trespass, forcible entry, detainer or other tort.
(b) Landlord may, without terminating this Lease, enter upon and take possession of the
Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any
part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and, if
Landlord so elects, make such alterations and repairs as, in Landlord’s judgement, may be necessary
to relet the Premises, and relet the Premises or any part thereof for such rent and for such period
of time and subject to such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable and receive the
rent therefor. Upon each such reletting, the rent received by Landlord in respect of such reletting
shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant
to Landlord, including interest thereon; second, to the payment of any loss and expenses of such
reletting, including brokerage fees, attorneys’ fees and the cost of such alterations and repair;
third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, together with interest thereon as herein
provided; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent
as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, on demand, any
deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such prior
default.
(c) In the event Landlord shall re-enter the Premises and/or terminate this Lease in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 16, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy it
may have, recover from Tenant all damages and expenses Landlord may actually suffer or incur by
reason of Tenant’s default hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of recovering the
Premises and reasonable attorney fees. Tenant agrees that actual damages to Landlord resulting from
Landlord’s exercise of the remedies set forth in paragraphs (a) or (b) above, will be difficult to
ascertain, and therefore, after a default of Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord
“Liquidated Damages” for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform the covenants of this Lease,
which at the election of Landlord, shall be either: (A) the sum of (x)(i) the minimum monthly rent,
plus (ii) the Additional Rent payable hereunder for the month immediately preceding such failure to
operate, re-entry or termination, less (y) the net
amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the lease or leases of the Premises for
each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this
Lease, all of which sums shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord upon the first day of
each calendar month during the otherwise unexpired portion of the team hereof; or (B) the whole of
said Liquidated Damages calculated under clause (A) multiplied by the number of months then
remaining in the lease term, discounted to present value at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum as
of the date of termination or re-entry by Landlord; provided, however, that in the event Landlord
shall relet the Premises and the rent received by Landlord in respect of such reletting together
with the discounted Liquidated Damages paid by Tenant, less the costs and expenses inured by
Landlord in such reletting, shall exceed the rent resented hereunder for that period which would
otherwise have constituted the remainder of the term hereof, then Landlord shall, upon the
expiration of the period which would have constituted the term of this Lease, refund to Tenant the
lesser of the amount of such excess or the discounted Liquidated Damages theretofore paid by
Tenant.
(d) If the rent agreed to be paid, including all other sums of money which under the
provisions hereto are declared to be rent, shall be in arrears in whole or in part for ten (10) or
more days, Landlord may at its option (if such arrearage remains unpaid after ten (10) days’
written notice to Tenant) declare the tenancy hereunder converted into a tenancy from month to
month, and upon giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option, Landlord shall
forthwith be entitled to all provisions of law relating to the summary eviction of monthly tenants
in default in rent. In addition to all other remedies provided for in this Article 16, in order to
secure Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall have a security interest in all
tangible personal property of Tenant on or about the Premises to the extent of all monies owed by
Tenant to Landlord, including but not limited to, inventory, furniture, trade fixtures, equipment,
etc., and all such property shall, at Landlord’s option, become the property of Landlord in the
event Tenant fails to cure a default under this Lease within any period for notice and cure
provided for herein. Tenant agrees, upon the request of Landlord, to execute any and all documents
which Landlord deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect such security interest, including
but not limited to, a U.C.C.-1 financing statement and a security agreement and to pay all costs,
taxes or fees incurred in recording or filing any such documents.
(e) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in order to cover the extra
expense involved in handling delinquent payments, Tenant shall pay a “late charge” in an amount
equal to the greater of (i) 5% of any delinquent payment, or (ii) $250.00, when any installment of
Base Rent (or any other amount as may be considered Additional Rental under this Lease) is paid
more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof. It is hereby understood that this charge is for
extra expenses incurred by the Landlord in processing the delinquency.
(f) Tenant hereby appoints as its agent to receive service of all dispossessory or other
proceedings and notices thereunder and under this Lease the person apparently in charge of the
Premises at the time, and if no person then appears to be in charge of the Premises, then such
service or notice may be made by attaching the same to the main entrance of the Premises, provided
that, in such later event, a copy of any such proceedings or notice shall also be mailed to Tenant
in the manner set forth in Article 33 hereof.
(g) Tenant shall be considered in “Habitual Default” of this Lease upon (i) Tenant’s failure,
on four (4) or more occasions doing any Lease Year, to pay, when due, any installment of Base Rent,
Additional Rent, or any other sum required by the terms of this Lease, or (ii) Tenant’s repeated
violation of, or failure to comply with, any term covenant or condition of this Lease after written
notice of such violation or failure to comply has been given by Landlord to Tenant. Upon the
occurrence of an event of Habitual Default on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall immediately be
deemed to have released any and all options or rights granted, or to be granted, to Tenant under
the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, rights of renewal, rights to terminate, or
rights of first refusal).
(h) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude Landlord from pursuing any
other remedies therein or at law or in equity provided, nor shall pursuit of any remedy by Landlord
constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing
to Landlord by reason of Tenant’s violation of any of the covenants and provisions of this Lease.
Tenant hereby waives any right to assert or maintain any counterclaims against Landlord in any
action brought by Landlord to obtain possession of the Premises. No act of Landlord (including,
without limitation, acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or any other actions taken
by Landlord or its agents to protect Landlord’s interests under this Lease) other than a written
notice of termination, shall terminate this Lease. The acceptance of keys to the Premises by
Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or other persons on Landlord’s behalf shall not be
deemed or constitute to effect a termination of this Lease unless such early termination is
evidenced by a written instrument signed by Landlord.
(a) Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord and Landlord’s Managing Agent harmless from
any and all liabilities, damages, causes of action, suits, claims, judgements, costs and expenses
of any kind (including attorneys fees): (i) relating to or arising from or in connection with the
possession, use, occupancy, management, repair, maintenance or control of the Premises, or any
portion thereof; (ii) arising from or in connection with any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s
agents, employees or invitees; or (iii) resulting from any default, violation or injury to person
or property or loss of life sustained in or about the Premises. To assure such indemnity, Tenant
shall carry and keep in full force and effect at all times during the term of this Lease for the
protection of Landlord and Landlord’s Managing Agent and Tenant herein, public liability and
property damage insurance with combined single limits of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) per occurrence; with not less than a Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000.00) aggregate
per location.
(b) Tenant shall be and remain liable for the maintenance, repair and replacement of all plate
glass in the Premises with glass of like kind and quality. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall
keep the same insured under a policy of plate glass insurance.
(c) Tenant shall obtain and at all times during the term hereof maintain, at its sole cost and
expense, policies of insurance covering the Premises and any permanent alterations to the Premises
made by Tenant or Landlord in accordance with this Lease (excluding only structural improvements
and components required to be insured and maintained by Landlord) including, without limitation,
decorative finishes, equipment, lighting or fixtures unique to
Tenant’s use of the Premises and any trade fixtures or other fixtures or property (including
improvements which may not be removed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease), and all of Tenant’s
fixtures, equipment and inventory installed and/or located in the Premises, in an amount of not
less than the full replacement cost of said items, with the classification “Fire and Extended
Coverage” together with insurance against vandalism, malicious mischief, and sprinkler leakage or
other sprinkler damage, boiler and pressure vessel insurance, and any proceeds of such insurance so
long as this Lease shall remain in effect, shall be used only to repair or replace the items so
insured.
(d) Said public liability and property damage insurance policies and any other insurance
policies carried by Tenant with respect to the Premises shall: (i) be issued in form acceptable to
Landlord by good and solvent insurance companies qualified to do business in the state in which the
Premises is located and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (ii) be endorsed to name Landlord,
Landlord’s Managing Agent, Tenant and any other parties in interest from time to time designated in
writing by notice from Landlord to Tenant as Additional Insureds; (iii) be written as primary
policy coverage and not contributing either to or in excess of any coverage which Landlord may
carry; (iv) provide for 30 days’ prior written notice to Landlord of any cancellation or other
expiration of such policy or any defaults or material changes thereunder; and (v) contain an
express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurance company against Landlord and Landlord’s
Managing Agent. Such insurance policies shall be obtained from an approved insurance company and
Tenant shall deliver a copy of said policy or an original Certificate of Insurance to Landlord,
before Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises, showing the same to be in full force and effect.
Neither the issuance of any insurance policy required hereunder, nor the minimum limits specified
herein with respect to Tenant’s insurance coverage shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any way
Tenant’s liability arising under or out of this Lease.
(e) Intentionally deleted.
(f) Landlord shall maintain (i) public liability insurance on the common areas of the Building
in amounts not less than those set forth in subparagraph (a) of this Article 17 and (ii) Property
Insurance for full replacement cost of the Building in an amount sufficient to avoid co-insurance.
(g) (1) To the extent permitted by law, each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other,
to the extent of all insurance carried (or required to be carried) by each party under the terms of
this Lease, from liability for any loss or damage to the Premises caused by fire or other of the
extended casualties insured against; provided, however, that this release shall be in force and
effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as the releasing party’s
insurance policy contain a clause or clauses which provides that: (i) the insurance company waives
subrogation or consents to a waiver of right of recovery, and (ii) such waiver of subrogation or
consent to a waiver of a right of recovery does not adversely affect or prejudice said policy or
the releasing party’s right of full recovery thereunder. Landlord’s release of Tenant under this
subparagraph 17(g) is expressly conditioned upon Tenant’s full cooperation with Landlord’s
insurance carrier in inspections of the Premises and Tenant’s compliance with all requirements
imposed by Landlord’s insurance carrier with respect to any activities in or use of the Premises
which increases fine risk of loss to the Shopping Center or the Premises.
(2) If a party advises the other party that a clause of the type described in subparagraph 17
(g)(1) above is (i) not obtainable, or (ii) only obtainable at additional cost, then such party
shall not be obligated to obtain a waiver; provided, however, that with respect to an inability to
obtain a waiver due to the imposition of additional cost, the party shall promptly notify the other
party of the amount of such additional cost and, if the party desiring that the other party obtain
a waiver agrees in writing to pay the additional cost of obtaining the waiver, then, upon receipt
of such payment, that party shall obtain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of the other
party, as described in subparagraph (g)(1) above To the extent that Tenant is permitted to self
insure as to its personal property located in the Premises, Tenant will nevertheless be deemed to
be insured for such personal property for the purposes of this subparagraph 17 (g).
18. Property at Tenant’s Risk. It is understood and agreed that all personal property in the
Premises, of whatever nature, whether owned by Tenant or any other person, shall be and remain at
Tenant’s sole risk and Landlord shall not assume any liability or be liable for any damage to or
loss of such personal property, arising from the bursting, overflowing, or leaking of the roof or
of water or sewer pipes, or from heating or plumbing fixtures or from the handling of electric
wires or fixtures or from any other cause whatsoever, unless such damage was caused by the gross
negligence or wanton or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors,
subject, however, to the waiver of subrogation provisions set forth in subparagraph 17 (g) above.
(a) Neither Tenant, nor any of its permitted successors or assigns, shall transfer, assign,
mortgage, encumber, or, by operation of law or otherwise, pledge, hypothecate, or assign all or any
of its interest in this Lease, or sublet or permit the Premises, or any part thereof, to be used by
others, including, but not by way of limitation, licensees of Tenant, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, in each instance, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold if
the requirements of this Article 19 and the requirements and conditions set forth in other
provisions of this Lease are fully complied with. Any such subletting or assignment shall be
referred to as a “Transfer,” and the person to whom Tenant’s interest is transferred shall be
referred to as a “Transferee.”
(b) The prohibition against any Transfer without the prior written consent of Landlord shall
apply, without limitation, to the following circumstances, each of which shall be deemed a
Transfer: (i) if Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease is a corporation (other than a corporation,
the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a “national securities exchange,” as defined in
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or on the Nasdaq National Stock Market), and if shares of such
corporation representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of such corporation are
transferred by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or otherwise (including,
without limitation, a transfer to or by a receiver or trustee in federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other proceeding); (ii) if Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease is a partnership,
and if partnership interests of such partnership representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting power or profits and losses of such partnership are transferred by sale, assignment,
bequest, inheritance, operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, a transfer to
or by a receiver or Trustee in federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
proceeding); (iii) any transfer by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor which
results in or makes possible a change in the present control of the business of Tenant or any such
guarantor; (iv) any other change in the majority ownership interest of Tenant, or any guarantor of
this Lease; or (v) any subletting or assignment which occurs by operation of law (including by way
of merger, consolidation, or reorganization or any change of Tenant’s corporate or proprietary
structure). In no event may Tenant assign this Lease, or sublease the Leased Premises, if Tenant is
in default under this Lease.
(c) In the event that Tenant desires to effect a Transfer hereunder, Tenant shall give
Landlord written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) thereof. To be effective, the Transfer Notice shall
be accompanied by Tenant’s check, payable to the order of Landlord, or Landlord’s Agent, in the
amount of $500.00 to compensate Landlord for the cost of reviewing the proposed Transfer and
specify the proposed Transferee, and the proposed terms of the Transfer, and contain such
information about the proposed Transferee, its experience, its financial situation, its methods of
operation, and its impact on the Building, as a prudent businessman would require in making the
Transfer decision. Tenant specifically agrees to act, in good faith, to apprise Landlord of any
adverse or negative financial or marketplace information known by Tenant concerning the proposed
Transfer and/or the proposed Transferee, but nothing in this subparagraph 19 (c) shall obligate
Tenant to reveal mere speculation or rumor or violate any obligation to protect trade secrets or
other confidential information. The Transfer Notice shall also contain a certificate by Tenant (or
an officer or general partner of Tenant if Tenant is a corporation or partnership) of all “Transfer
Consideration” (as defined below) or payable in connection with the proposed Transfer. Within forty
five (45) days of the receipt of the Transfer Notice Landlord shall, by written notice to Tenant,
elect: (i) to permit the proposed Transfer; (ii) to sublet with the right to further sublet from
Tenant for the balance of the term of this Lease (a) all of the Premises, or (b) only so much of
the Lease Premises as Tenant proposed to Transfer, at the same rental as Tenant is obligated to pay
to Landlord hereunder; or (iii) subject to the terms of subparagraph 19 (a) above, to deny consent
to the proposed Transfer, in which event Tenant shall continue to occupy the Leased Premises and
comply with all of the terms and conditions hereof. In the event that Landlord fails to give Tenant
written notice of its election hereunder within the specified forty five (45) day period, Landlord
shall be deemed to have denied its consent to the proposed Transfer.
(d) If Landlord consents to a Transfer, the permitted Transferee shall assume by written
instrument all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease and such Transferee, at least thirty (30)
days prior to the effective date of the permitted Transfer, shall deliver to Landlord the proposed
sublease, assignment and assumption agreement or other instrument evidencing the Transfer and the
Transferee’s undertaking of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. All of such documents shall be
subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unnecessarily withheld,
conditioned or delayed. In the event of a permitted Transfer, Tenant shall continue to be liable
hereunder, and shall not be released from performance hereunder. In addition to the Rent reserved
hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (except as otherwise stated in subparagraph 19 (f) below)
one half (1/2) of all monies, property and other consideration of every kind whatsoever paid or
payable to Tenant in consideration of or related to such Transfer and for all property transferred
to the Transferee, as all or part of the consideration including, without limitation, fixtures,
other Leasehold Improvements, furniture, equipment and furnishings
(collectively, all of the foregoing monies, property and other consideration shall be refereed
to as the “Transfer Consideration”), but excluding bona fide consideration paid for transfer of
Tenant’s Property. Following a permitted Transfer of this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to
send the named Tenant any notice of default by the approved Transferee.
(e) Any Transfer without Landlord’s consent, whether as a result of any act or omission of
Tenant, or by operation of law or otherwise, shall not be binding upon Landlord, and shall confer
no rights upon any third person. Each such unpermitted Transfer shall, without notice or grace
period of any kind, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. The acceptance by Landlord of
the payment of Rent following any Transfer prohibited by this Article 19 shall not be deemed to be
a consent by Landlord to any such Transfer, an acceptance of the Transferee as a tenant, a release
of Tenant from the performance of any covenants herein contained, or a waiver by Landlord of any
remedy of Landlord under this Lease, although amounts actually received shall be credited by
Landlord against Tenant’s Rent obligations. Consent by Landlord to any one Transfer shall not
constitute a waiver of the requirement for consent to any other Transfer. No reference in this
Lease to assignees, subtenants or licensees shall be deemed to be a consent by Landlord to the
occupancy of the Leased Premises by any such assignee, subtenant or licensee.
(f) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 19 to the contrary, if Tenant fully
complies with the requirements and conditions of this Article and other provisions of this Lease,
Tenant may Transfer this Lease without Landlord’s consent (and without any obligation to pay any
part of the Transfer Consideration described in subparagraph 19 (d) above), if Landlord is advised
of any such Transfer within thirty (30) days after any such Transfer occurs, to (i) Tenant’s parent
or subsidiary corporation or to a corporation under common ownership with and controlled by the
same persons who control Tenant, or (ii) any party which acquires substantially all of the assets
of Tenant or (iii) to a corporation into which Tenant merges or consolidates; provided, however,
that (1) in the case of a Transfer under subparagraph 19 (f) (i) above, such assignee shall possess
qualifications for conducting the business at the Premises to the reasonable satisfaction of
Landlord; and (2) in the case of any Transfer described above in this subparagraph 19 (f), (x) such
assignee shall assume in writing all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder; and (y) Tenant continues to
remain liable under this Lease for the performance of all of the terms contained herein including
but not limited to, the payment of Base Rent, Annual Operating Costs and all Additional Rent due
under this Lease, and further provided that the provisions of this subparagraph 19 (f) shall not
permit a Transfer in the event that Tenant is acquired by another corporation and becomes a
subsidiary thereof, (x) unless Tenant continues to be operated as a separately identified company,
substantially in the same manner as before such acquisition, or (y) if, after such acquisition, or
as a result thereof, Tenant’s net worth will decline by ten percent (10%) or more, unless in either
of such cases, the parent of the parry acquiring Tenant agrees to guaranty Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease. The liability of any Guarantor of this Lease shall not be affected as a result of
any assignment permitted under this subparagraph (f). It is the intention of the parties that the
provisions of clause (i) of this subparagraph 19 (f) are included herein for the purpose of
providing Tenant with flexibility in the manner of operating its business but such provisions are
not intended to permit, and do not permit, a Transfer of this Lease to an entity outside the
ownership family to which Tenant belongs as a means of defeating the other provisions of this
Article 19 which require Landlord’s consent to a Transfer.
(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Article 19,
Tenant’s shareholders may sell, transfer and convey their stock in Tenant without Landlord’s
consent. The foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to permit what is commonly referred to as a
“leveraged buy-out” transaction or such other transfer or sale which adversely affects the net
worth of Tenant or any successor entity, and all of the provisions of this Article 19 shall apply
to any such transaction.
20. Signs. No sign, advertisement or notice shall be inscribed, painted, affixed or displayed on
the windows or exterior walls of the Premises or on any public area of the Building, except the
directories and the office doors, and then only in such places, numbers, sizes, color and style as
are approved by Landlord and which confirm to all applicable laws and/or ordinances. Any and all
permitted signs shall be installed and maintained by Landlord at Tenant’s sole expense. During the
period of six months prior to the explanation of this Lease or any renewal thereof, Landlord shall
have the right to display on the exterior of the Premises a sign advertising the space as available
“For Rent”. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, but subject to all applicable laws and/or ordinances,
Landlord will permit Tenant to have three (3) identification signs on the sides of the Building,
facing Perry Parkway and Interstate 270 (the “Additional Signs”) under the following terms and
conditions: (i) The exact size and location of, and all plans and specifications for, thee
Additional Signs shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; and (ii) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, repair, replace
and maintain the Additional Signs, in good condition, consistent with general construction
standards; and (iii) Tenant shall obtain all permits and approvals for the installation of the
Additional Signs, but Tenant shall not be entitled to obtain any variance or waiver of any
governmental requirements if any such variance or waiver would reduce or otherwise adversely affect
the ability of Landlord or other tenants of the Building to install or replace signs which would be
permitted but for any variance or waiver of any governmental requirements obtained by Tenant for
the Additional Signs.
21. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations set
forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, and with any additions thereto and modifications thereof
adopted from time to time by Landlord, and each such rule or regulation shall be deemed to be a
covenant of this Lease to be performed and observed by Tenant.
22. Parking. Landlord grants Tenant the non-exclusive, unassigned, right to use the parking area or
areas designated by the Landlord from time to time. Tenant hereby agrees to comply with all traffic
and parking rules and regulations imposed by Landlord from time to time.
23. Landlord Access. Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises, upon reasonable
advance notice (which notice may be delivered by telephone) for purposes of (i) showing the
Premises to prospective tenants; (ii) to post the Premises with “For Rent” or other offering signs,
as Landlord may deem appropriate in accordance with the terms of this Lease; (iii) to exhibit the
same to prospective purchasers or mortgagees; and (iv) to inspect the Premises to see that Tenant
is complying with all its obligations hereunder, or to make required repairs. Subject to the
provisions of subparagraph 17 (g) above, Landlord shall defend (with counsel selected by Landlord),
indemnify Tenant, its officers, directors, employees and agents, and save it harmless from and
against any and all claims, suits, judgements, actions, damages, costs, liability and expense of
any kind (including reasonable attorney fees) with respect to damage to
the Premises occasioned by the negligent acts or wrongful misconduct of Landlord or its employees
committed during such access.
(a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien of any ground leases and to all
mortgages, deeds of trusts or deeds to secure debt which may now or hereafter affect or encumber
the Building or the real property of which the Premises form any part, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof. This Article shall be
self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of any
such subordination, Tenant shall execute within five (5) days after receipt, any certificate that
Landlord may reasonably so request, provided the same contains appropriate language on
non-disturbance. No foreclosing lender nor any purchaser at foreclosure shall be liable for and
defaults (including defaults of a continuing nature) by any prior landlord, or for the return of
any security deposit; Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to Landlord or to any successor to
Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by sale, foreclosure or otherwise.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any ground lessor, mortgagee or the holder of
any deed of trust or deed to secure debt shall elect to make the lien of this Lease prior to the
lien of its ground lease or mortgage, then, upon such party giving Tenant written notice to such
effect at any time prior to the commencement of foreclosure by filing a notice thereof for record
among the land records, this Lease shall be deemed to be prior in lien to the lien of such ground
lease or mortgage, whether dated prior or subsequent thereto.
(c) Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement for Tenant’s
benefit from the lender holding the mortgage lien on the Property as of the Lease Date (the
“Lender”). The non-disturbance agreement shall be on the Lender’s approved form, and Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, as additional rent, all fees, costs and expenses charged to Landlord by the Lender
in connection with the Lender’s review of this Lease and negotiation or review of the
non-disturbance agreement including, without limitation, the Lender’s legal fees. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article 24 to the contrary, this Lease shall not be subordinate to any
future mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the Property unless the party secured by any such
instrument enters into a non-disturbance agreement with Tenant on a form acceptable to such future
Lender.
25. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagees and/or Trust Deed Holders, by
Registered Mail, a copy of any Notice of Default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such
notice Tenant has been notified, in writing, (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases,
or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagees and/or Trust Deed Holders. Tenant further agrees
that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease,
then the Mortgagees and/or Trust Deed Holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within
which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such
additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee and/or Trust
Deed Holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default
(including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such
cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so
diligently pursued. Tenant agrees that in the event
of the sale of the Property, by foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, the purchaser at such sale
shall only be responsible for the return of any security deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord in
connection with this Lease to the extent that such purchaser actually receives such security
deposit.
26. Construction of Tenant Improvements by Landlord. Landlord shall make such improvements in and
to the Premises as are designated on the attached Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference
made a part hereof (“Landlord’s Work”). Any improvements other than those drown on Exhibit C shall
be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, shall be at the Tenant’s sole expense, and shall
be constructed by Landlord. It is agreed that the cost of any such additional improvements, shall
be paid by Tenant, as additional rent, within ten (10) days of presentation of a xxxx therefor.
Landlord’s sole obligation with respect to the improvements set forth on Exhibit C is to construct
such improvements in accordance with the layout, plans and specifications set forth on Exhibit C.
Landlord does not represent or warrant to Tenant that the work described on Exhibit C is sufficient
to make the Premises suitable for Tenant’s intended use or that such work will be sufficient to
enable Tenant to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the Premises. In the event that leasehold
improvements are to be supplied by the Landlord, the Tenant agrees to designate two persons who are
authorized to originate and/or approve change orders and additions associated with leasehold
improvements to the Premises. These designees are:
The Landlord will not be responsible for any changes from the approved improvement plan, unless the
change is requested by the Tenant in writing. Within a reasonable period of time after receipt of a
written change order from the Tenant, Landlord will provide Tenant with an estimate of the cost of
the change and any time delay that may occur as a result of the change. The Rent Commencement Date
as herein defined will not be affected by delays resulting from Tenant requested change orders.
27. Hold-Over; Surrender of Premises. If Tenant shall not immediately surrender the Premises the
day after the end of the term hereby created, then Tenant shall, by virtue of this agreement,
become, at Landlord’s option, either (a) a tenant at sufferance, or (b) a tenant from
month-to-month. In either of such events, rent shall be payable at a monthly or daily rate, as the
case may be, of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rental payable by
Tenant immediately prior to the expiration or termination of the term, with said tenancy to
commence on the first day after the end of the term above demised; and said tenancy shall be
subject to all of the conditions and covenants of this Lease insofar as such covenants and
conditions are applicable thereto. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent
by Landlord to the occupancy or possession of the Premises after the expiration of the term of this
Lease. If Landlord fails to make an election under clause (a) or (b) with ten (10) days after the
expiration or termination of the term, the hold-over tenancy shall be deemed to be a tenancy from
month-to-month. If Tenant holds over as a month-to-month tenant, each party hereto shall give to
the other at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to quit the Premises (any right to a longer
notice period being hereby expressly waived), except in the event of non-payment of rent in advance
or of the other Additional Rents provided for herein when due, or of the breach of any other
covenant by the said Tenant, in which event Tenant shall not be entitled to any notice to
quit, the usual thirty (30) days’ notice to quit being expressly waived; provided, however, that in
the event Tenant shall hold over after expiration of the term hereby created, and if Landlord shall
desire to regain possession of said Premises promptly at the expiration of the term aforesaid, then
at any time prior to the date Landlord makes (or is deemed to have made) its election under clause
(b) of this Article 27, Landlord at its option, may re-enter and take possession of the Premises
forthwith, without process, or by any legal action or process in force in the state in which the
Premises is located; provided, however, that if Landlord has accepted rent for any period beyond
the expiration of the term and Tenant is not then in default under any of the provisions of this
Lease, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant an amount equal to any excess rental received by
Landlord with respect to any period after Landlord exercises its right to re-enter the Premises
under this Article 27. At the expiration of or earlier termination of the term of this Lease,
Tenant shall peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord, in condition required under paragraph 9
(a) of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted to the extent the Premises is not required to be
repaired and/or maintained by Tenant. Tenant shall surrender all keys for the Premises to Landlord
and shall notify Landlord in writing of all combinations of locks, safes, and vaults, if any in the
Premises. If the Premises are not surrendered as and when aforesaid, Tenant shall indemnify and
hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, loss or liability (direct, indirect,
foreseeable or unforeseeable) resulting from the delay by Tenant in surrendering the Premises
including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding occupant based upon Landlord’s
inability to deliver the Premises to any such succeeding occupant. Tenant shall comply with the
provisions of Article 9 hereof respecting Tenant’s Property. Tenant’s obligations to observe and
perform the covenants set forth in this Article 27 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
(a) Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than thirty (30) days’
prior written notice by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or to such
person(s) as may be designated by Landlord, a statement in writing (i) certifying that Tenant is in
possession of the Premises, has unconditionally accepted the same and is currently paying the rents
reserved hereunder, (ii) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or
if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and
stating the modifications), (iii) stating the Rent Commencement Date and the dates to which the
rent and other charges hereunder have been paid by Tenant and (iv) stating whether or not to the
best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or
condition contained in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which notices to
Landlord should be sent. If Tenant fails to execute and returns any such agreement to Landlord
within such thirty (30) day period, then, in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies in
the case of default, Landlord shall be entitled to treat the information contained in such estoppel
certificate as being admitted as true and correct by Tenant, and such information shall be fully
binding on Tenant as if Tenant had executed such certificate Landlord shall be entitled to collect
from Tenant, as liquidated damages with respect to such default of Tenant in addition to Base Rent
and other amounts payable hereunder, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to one-half of one percent
(1/2%) of the then amount of Base Rent then payable under this Lease, for each day Tenant delays in
returning the requested agreement to Landlord. Any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be
relied upon by any owner, prospective
purchaser, mortgagee or prospective mortgagee of the Building or of Landlord’s interest
therein, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee.
(b) Landlord agrees, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than thirty (30) days’
prior written notice by Tenant, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant or to such person(s)
as may be designated by Tenant, a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force
and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (ii) stating the Rent Commencement Date and
the dates to which the rent and other charges hereunder have been paid by Tenant and (iii) stating
whether or not to the best knowledge of Landlord, Tenant is in default in the performance of any
covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default
of which notices to Tenant should be sent.
29. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord warrants that it has the right to make this Lease for the term
aforesaid and that it will put Tenant into complete and exclusive possession of the Premises.
Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Premises hereby leased for the term aforesaid, without any interruption or
disturbance from Landlord, or anyone claiming through or under Landlord, subject to the terms
hereof.
30. Delay. In the event Landlord for any reason is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to
Tenant on or before the Rent Commencement Date, at Landlord’s option, this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord by reason of any such delay
but no rent shall be payable during the pendency of any such delay, or upon written notice to
Tenant, Landlord may terminate this Lease and, except for the return of any security deposit or
prepaid rent, Landlord shall have no further obligation or liability to Tenant. In the event that
Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, at such time as Landlord tenders possession of the
Premises to Tenant in writing, Tenant shall commence payment of rent pursuant to Article 3 hereof,
and the expiration date of the term of this Lease shall be extended for a period equal to the
period of such delay. In the event of any such delay, Tenant shall execute a Commencement and
Estoppel Agreement as provided in Article 2, specifying the date on which possession of the
Premises was tendered by Landlord.
31. Modifications Due to Financing. If, in connection with obtaining temporary or permanent
financing for the Building or the land upon which the Building is located, any such lender shall
request reasonable modifications of this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant agrees that
Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer the execution of any agreement of
modification of this Lease provided such modifications do not increase the financial obligations of
Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant’s
reasonable use and enjoyment of the Premises.
32. Attorneys. The non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party upon demand for any
costs or expenses, including attorney fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of
obligations hereunder. Any and all costs or expenses incurred by Landlord pursuant to the
provisions hereof shall be considered as Additional Rent hereunder. Tenant acknowledges that it has
engaged counsel in connection with the negotiation of this Lease.
33. Notices. All notices, rent or other payments required or desired to be given hereunder by
either party to the other shall be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by a reputable
commercial messenger service, except that notices of default and notices related to the exercise of
options or other rights under this Lease shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested
or by a receipted commercial messenger service (such as Federal Express or Airborne Express) for
delivery on the next following business day. Notices to the respective parties, and any amounts
required to be paid hereunder, shall be addressed and sent as follows:

Either party may designate a substitute address, from time to time, by notice in writing sent
in accordance with the provisions of this Article 33.
34. Applicable Law. This Lease shall be construed under the laws of the State in which the Premises
is located.
35. No Reservation. The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute a reservation
of or option for the Premises, and this Lease becomes effective only upon execution and delivery
thereof by Landlord. Neither party shall have any legal obligation to the other in the event that
the lease contemplated herein is not consummated for any reason. Discussions between the parties
respecting the proposed lease described herein, shall not serve as a basis for a claim against
either party or any officer, director or agent of either party.
36. Parties; Assigns and Successors. Feminine or neuter pronouns may be substituted for those of
the masculine form, and the plural may be substituted for the singular number, in any place or
places herein in which the context may require such substitution or substitutions. The term
“Landlord” as used in this Lease, means only the owner for the time being of the Landlord’s
interest in this Lease; and, in the event of the sale, assignment or transfer by such owner of the
Landlord’s interest in this Lease, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged of all
covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder thereafter accruing. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, all of the covenants, agreements, terms, conditions, provisions and
undertakings in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and shall extend to and be binding upon,
the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, to the same extent as if they were in every case named and expressed. If two or more
individuals, corporations, partnerships or other business associations (or any combination of two
or more thereof) shall sign this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each such individual,
corporation, partnership or other business association to pay rent and perform all other
obligations hereunder
shall be deemed to joint and several and any notice required or permitted by the terms of this
Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given
by or to all thereof. In like manner, if the Tenant named in this Lease shall be a partnership or
other business association, the members of which are, by virtue or statute or general law, subject
to personal liability, the liability of each such member shall be joint and several.
37. Severability. If any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Lease or the application of such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other
than those as to which it is held or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term,
covenant and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
38. Rent Tax. If applicable in the jurisdiction where the Premises are situated, Tenant shall pay
and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes or other similar taxes, if any, levied or imposed
by any City, State, County or other governmental body having authority, such payments to be in
addition to all other payments required to be paid to Landlord by Tenant under the terms of this
Lease. Any such payments shall be paid concurrently with the payment of the rent upon which the tax
is based as set forth above.
39. Acts of God. Neither party shall be required to perform any covenant or obligation in this
Lease (other than the payment of Rent or other monies), or be liable in damages to the other party,
so long as the performance or non-performance of the covenant or obligation is delayed, caused by
or prevented by an act of God or force majeure. In that regard, in the event that such an act of
God or other event of force majeure causes an interruption of essential Building services (i.e.,
utilities) for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive days, Tenant shall be entitled to an
equitable abatement of rent until such services have been restored.
40. Landlord’s Liability. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no personal liability with respect
to any of the provisions of this Lease and Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of
Landlord in the land and buildings comprising the Property of which the Premises forms a part for
the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies, including, without limitation, the collection of any
judgement or the enforcement of any other judicial process requiring the payment or expenditure of
money by Landlord, subject, however, to the prior rights of any holder of any Mortgage covering all
or part of the Property, and no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or
other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s claim and, in the event Tenant obtains a
judgement against Landlord, the judgement docket shall be so noted. This Section shall inure to the
benefit of Landlord’s successors and assigns and their respective principals.
41. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. All rights and remedies given herein and/or by law or in equity
to Landlord are separate, distinct and cumulative, and no one of them, whether exercised by
Landlord or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others. No failure of Landlord to
exercise any power given Landlord hereunder, or to insist upon strict compliance by Tenant with his
obligations hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof
shall constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.
42. Modification. This writing is intended by the parties as the final expression of theft
agreement and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof, all negotiations,
considerations and representations between the parties having been incorporated herein. No course
of prior dealings between the parties or their affiliates shall be relevant or admissible to
supplement, explain or vary any of the terms of this Lease. Acceptance of, or acquiescence in, a
course of performance rendered under this or any prior agreement between the parties or their
affiliates shall not be relevant or admissible to determine the meaning of any of the terms of this
Lease. No representations, understandings or agreements have been made or relied upon in the making
of this Lease other than those specifically set forth herein. This Lease can only be modified by a
written agreement signed by all of the parties hereto or their duly authorized agents.
43. Waivers. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any claim,
action, proceeding or counterclaim by either party against the other on any matters arising out of
or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant and/or Tenant’s
use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant hereby expressly waives (to the extent legally
permissible) for itself and all persons claiming by, through or under it, any right of redemption
or right for the restoration of the operation of this Lease under any present or future law in case
Tenant shall be dispossessed for any cause, or in case Landlord shall obtain possession of the
Premises as provided in this Lease. Tenant understands that the Premises are leased exclusively for
business, commercial and mercantile purposes and therefore shall not be redeemable under any
provision of law.
44. Interpretation. Captions and headings are for convenience and reference only. Whenever in this
Lease any printed portion, or any part thereof, has been stricken out, whether or not any
replacement provision has been added, this Lease shall be read and construed as if the material so
stricken out were never included herein, and no implication shall be drawn from the text of the
material so stricken out which would be inconsistent in any way with the construction or
interpretation which would be appropriate if such material had never been contained herein. The
Exhibits referred to in this Lease and attached hereto are a substantive part of this Lease and are
incorporated herein by reference. In any legal proceeding respecting this Lease, this Lease will be
construed with equal weight for the rights of both parties, the terms hereof having been determined
by free and fair negotiation, with due consideration for the rights and requirements of both
parties. Both parties agree that they have had equal input into the wording and phraseology of the
provisions of this Lease, and that, therefore, no provision will be construed as drafted by one
party or the other, without respect to whose draft of this Lease the wording or phraseology arises.
If any of the typewritten portions of this Lease conflict with any of the printed provisions of
this Lease, the provisions set forth in the typewritten portions shall control; provided, however,
that to the extent the printed portions of this Lease may be read in a manner which will not
conflict with the provisions of the typewritten portions, then such interpretation shall be deemed
to be the correct interpretation of the provisions of this Lease.
45. Financial Statements. Tenant, upon Lease execution, and thereafter upon written request by
Landlord (but in any event, not more than once in any particular Lease Year, unless an additional
or updated financial statement is required by Landlord’s lender), will provide Landlord with a copy
of its current financial statements consisting of a balance sheet, an earnings statement, statement
of changes in financial position, statement of changes in tenant’s equity, and
related footnotes, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such
financial statements must be either certified by a CPA or sworn to as to their accuracy by Tenant’s
most senior official and its chief financial officer. The financial statements provided must be as
of a date not more than 12 months prior to the date of request. Landlord shall retain such
statements in confidence, but may provide copies to lenders and potential lenders.
46. No Recording of Lease. Tenant shall not record this Lease without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If
Landlord consents to the recording of this Lease or a memorandum of this Lease, Tenant shall, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, record a termination of such recorded document among the land
records of the jurisdiction in which the Premises is located within thirty (30) days after the
expiration or termination of this Lease.
47. Entity Tenants. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the
persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenant and warrant that: Tenant is duly
constituted as such entity and is qualified to do business in the state where the Premises are
located; all Tenant’s franchise and corporate taxes have been paid to date; all future forms,
reports, fees and other documents necessary for Tenant to comply with applicable laws will be filed
by Tenant when due; and such persons are duly authorized by the board of directors, partnership
agreement or other applicable authority of such entity to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf
of the Tenant. Attached hereto and made a part hereof is (a) a certificate of good standing, dated
within sixty (60) days prior to the Lease Date, issued by the jurisdiction in which Tenant is
organized, and (b) one or more of the following confirming the authorization and due execution of
this Lease by Tenant: (i) a certificate of Tenant’s Secretary if Tenant is a corporation; or (ii) a
consent of the general partners if Tenant is a partnership, or (iii) a certified copy of the
Articles of Organization, operating agreement or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord evidencing
the authority of the members of a limited liability company executing this Lease on behalf thereof.
If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord any of the items described an clauses (a) or (b) above on or
before the date submits this Lease to Landlord for execution, then Landlord may, at its option,
elect (to the extent such documents or information is available from governmental or other sources)
obtain any such items which Tenant has failed to deliver, in which event Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such items plus an additional processing
fee of three times the Landlord’s actual cost of obtaining such items to compensate Landlord for
the administrative work in performing Tenant’s obligations under this Article.
48. Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the expiration of
the Term of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, shall not relieve either party from
its’ obligations accruing prior to the expiration of the Term.
49. Landlord’s Self-Help. In addition to Landlord’s rights of self-help set forth elsewhere in this
Lease or as provided by law or by equity, if Tenant at any tine fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Lease in a manner satisfactory to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right
but not the obligation, to perform or cause to be performed such obligations on behalf and at the
expense of Tenant and to take all such action Landlord deems appropriate to perform or cause to be
performed such obligations on behalf and at the expense of Tenant and to take all such action which
Landlord deems appropriate to perform such obligations. In such event, Landlord’s costs
and expenses incurred with respect thereto shall, upon demand, be paid for by Tenant as Additional
Rent. In performing or causing the performance of any such obligations of Tenant, Landlord shall
incur no liability for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant, the Premises or Tenant’s
Property by reason thereof. The performance by Landlord of any such obligation shall not constitute
a release or waiver of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
50. Special Stipulations. The terms, covenants and conditions set forth in any Articles of this
Lease numbered higher than this Article 50 (“Special Stipulations”) are intended to supplement and,
in certain events, modify or vary, the other provisions set forth in the foregoing provisions of
this Lease. If any of the Special Stipulations conflict with any of the foregoing provisions of
this Lease, the provisions set forth in the Special Stipulations shall control; provided, however,
that to the extent the preceding portions of this Lease may be read in a manner which will not
conflict with the provisions of the Special Stipulations, then such interpretation shall be deemed
to be the correct interpretation of the provisions of this Lease and the Special Stipulations.
51. Option Term. (a) Tenant shall have the option to renew the term of this Lease for two (2)
additional period(s) of five (5) years (the “Option Term”) following the expiration of the initial
lease term provided that this lease is in full force and effect, the Tenant shall be in possession
and occupying the Premises, and Tenant shall not be in default in the performance or observance of
any of the terms, conditions, provisions and/or covenants of the Lease. All such rights of a
renewal shall be exercised by delivery to Landlord of written notice of Tenant’s intention to renew
the term at least six (6) months but not more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of
the then applicable term of the lease. The Option Term shall be of the same terms, covenants and
conditions as the original lease except Base Rent for the Option Term shall be the then Prevailing
Market Rent of comparable space within the Gaithersburg, Maryland market area.
(i) Within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Tenant’s notice exercising its option
to extend the term of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s estimate of Prevailing
Market Rent. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s estimate of Prevailing Market Rent, Tenant may
rescind such renewal notice thereby terminating its right of renewal provided by this lease, or
Tenant shall notify Landlord that it has elected to submit the determination of Prevailing Market
Rent to Arbitration, in which event the 13 provisions of subparagraph (b)(ii)(a) of this Article 51
shall govern the selection of arbitrators and the establishment of the Prevailing Market Rent
payable for the year of the then applicable Option Term; provided, however, that if Tenant does not
elect to either rescind its renewal notice or to submit the determination of Prevailing Market Rent
to Arbitration during such fifteen (15) day period, then the Landlord’s estimate of Prevailing
Market Rent shall be deemed to be agreed to by Tenant, and shall be the Base Rent payable by Tenant
to Landlord during the first year of the then applicable Option Term.
(b) (i) Definition: As used herein, the term “Prevailing Market Rent” means the most probable
rent (as determined pursuant to the appraisal procedure hereinafter set forth) at which the
Premises would be leased in a comparable and open market, under all conditions requisite to a fair
lease, the Landlord and Tenant each acting prudently, knowledgeable, and assuming the rent is not
affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of the lease
of such space beginning on the commencement date of the lease of the Premises under conditions
whereby:
A. Landlord and Tenant are typically motivated (i.e., neither party is compelled to enter
into a lease and both parties are willing to enter into a lease).
B. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what it considers its
own best interest.
C. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
D. The Prevailing Market Rent shall be computed as an amount equal to the then prevailing
market rental rate of the Premises, as if vacant with Building standard improvements, and
taking into account the annual adjustments of Base Rent, Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s
Pro-Rata Share of Annual Operating Costs and all existing market factors.
E. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease (except terms respecting the
amount of Base Rent) remain in effect throughout the term.
(ii) In the event of a dispute as to determination of Prevailing Market Rent referred to in
this paragraph, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the following:
(a) If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing Market Rent as referred to in
this paragraph, within the time periods provided for herein, then Landlord and Tenant each
shall give notice to the other setting both the name and address of a licensed real estate
broker or appraiser (hereinafter “appraiser”) who shall be a M.A.I. Real Estate professional
with at least five (5) years or more of experience in commercial real estate appraisal
designated by it to make the determinations hereafter required. Each appraiser shall be
instructed to calculate the Prevailing Market Rent as provided in each of the foregoing
sections which is the subject of the dispute and is in accordance with the criteria
referenced therein. If either party shall fail to give notice of such designations within
ten (10) days after failing to agree between themselves, then the appraisal made by the
appraiser so designated shall be the Appraisal Prevailing Market Rent. If two appraisers
have been designated, such two appraisers shall consult with each other and, within thirty
(30) days thereafter, issue their determinations of Appraisal Prevailing Market Rent in
writing, and give notice thereof to each other and to Landlord and Tenant. If such two
appraisers shall concur as to the determination of the prevailing Market Rent and submit
their decision in writing to Landlord and Tenant, such concurrence shall be final and
binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two determinations of Prevailing Market Rent shall
be within five percent (5%) (measured from the higher appraisal) of each other, the
Prevailing Market Rent shall be deemed to be the average of the two appraisers’
determinations. If such two appraisers’ determinations shall not so concur or coincide, then
such two appraisers shall immediately (i) designate a third appraiser, (ii) prepare detailed
written appraisals, and (iii) submit copies of such appraisal to Landlord, Tenant and such
third arbitrator. If the two appraisers shall fail to agree upon the designation of such
third appraiser within eight (8) days of the date on which the last determination was
rendered, then either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association or any
successor thereto having jurisdiction, for the designation of such appraiser. All
arbitrators shall be licensed real estate appraisers or brokers who shall have had at least
ten (10) years continuous experience in the business of appraising or
managing real estate or acting as real estate agents or brokers in the Gaithersburg,
Maryland area. The third appraiser shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he may
deem appropriate and shall, within twenty (20) days after the date of designation of the
third appraiser, choose the determination of the two appraisers originally selected by the
parties which is fine nearest to the determination such third appraiser would have made
acting alone and applying the standards set forth therefor in this Lease, and that choice by
the third appraiser shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own
counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this Article,
including the expenses and fees of any appraiser selected by it in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph, and the parties shall share equally all other expenses and
fees of any such arbitration, including the expenses of the third appraiser. The
determination rendered in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be final
and binding in fixing the Prevailing Market Rent.
However, in no event shall the Base Rent for the first Lease Year of the Option Term be less
than the then Base Rent for the last Lease Year of the initial Lease Term as escalated by three
percent (3%).
52. Right to Terminate. Provided that Tenant is not in default of any of the terms, conditions,
obligations or provisions of this Lease (either on the date the option provided for herein is
exercised or on the expiration of the eighty-fourth (84th) month of the lease terns), Tenant shall
have the right to terminate this Lease on the last day of the eighty-fourth (84th) month by giving
Landlord two hundred and seventy (270) days advance written notice of its intention to terminate
this Lease. To be effective, Tenant’s notice of termination shall be accompanied by (i) Tenant’s
check (subject to collection) payable to Landlord’s order in the amount of Five Hundred
Seventy-five Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy and 00/100 Dollars ($575,770.00) (the “Termination
Fee”) as reimbursement to Landlord for brokers commissions paid in connection with this Lease,
Landlord’s unauthorized cost of constructing the Premises in accordance with Article 54 below and
three (3) months Base Rent, plus (2) the then-remaining principal balance of the “Supplemental
Tenant Allowance” (as such term is defined in Article 57 below). In the event Tenant shall fail to
give written notice to the Landlord of its election to so terminate this Lease as provided for in
the preceding sentence and/or pay the Termination Fee and the then-remaining principal balance of
the Supplemental Tenant Allowance, time being of the essence, then Tenant shall no longer have the
right to terminate this Lease and the provisions of this Article 52 shall be void and of no further
force and effect.
(a) Landlord hereby acknowledges receipt from Tenant of Tenant’s Letter of Credit from Silicon
Valley Bank in the amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000.00) in a form complying with
the provisions of this Article 53 and otherwise satisfactory to Landlord (“Letter of Credit”). The
Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord as security for the payment of rent and the performance
of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease in the same manner as a cash security deposit would
be handled under paragraph 3(c) of this Lease. Not later than the expiration date for the Letter of
Credit set forth therein, Tenant shall renew the term of the Letter of Credit or deposit a new
Letter of Credit in the same amount with Landlord in the same form as
the original letter of credit approved by Landlord. If Tenant fails to renew or replace the
Letter of Credit as aforesaid, Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment by the issuer
thereof, and retain the proceeds of the Letter of Credit as the Security Deposit under this Lease,
and, if Landlord retains the proceeds of the Letter of Credit as the Security Deposit, Landlord may
commingle the deposit with its own funds. If Tenant defaults in the payment of rent or in the
performance or observance of any other obligations to be performed on its part under this Lease,
Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment by the issuer thereof and apply the proceeds
to payment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent in default, and/or to the prepayment of the Minimum
Rent for any subsequent period of the term and/or to any amount to which Landlord may be entitled
under this Lease; and Tenant shall promptly thereafter restore the Letter of Credit to the original
amount above specified. The right of Landlord to apply the Proceeds of the Letter of Credit as
above specified shall not be construed as a limitation upon Landlord’s right to invoke any other
remedy available under this Lease or at law or equity for breach of this Lease, or to collect the
full amount of damages owing by Tenant on account of such breach. If, by reason of Tenant’s default
under this Lease, Landlord terminates this Lease at any time or reenters the Premises, Landlord
may, at its option, either retain the Proceeds of the Letter of Credit as liquidated damages
(applying against the damages which it suffers but without waiving its rights to recovery of
additional damages to which it may be entitled) or apply it to the monthly installments of Minimum
Rent and other amounts payable under this Lease hereunder in inverse order of accrual.
(b) The Letter of Credit shall be issued to Landlord, shall be unconditional (i.e., without
requirements or conditions for presentation, honor or payment), except as expressly provided for
below, and shall be irrevocable during its stated term. The Letter of Credit may state or require
that, at the time that Landlord presents the Letter of Credit for payment, such presentation shall
be accompanied by a written statement executed by any person purporting to be an authorized officer
of the general partner of Landlord as follows:
“This shall certify that a default by Tenant in the payment of rent has occurred
and is continuing under that certain Flex Space Office Lease (“Office Lease”)
dated April 12, 2000 by and between X.X. Xxxx Real Estate Investment Trust, as
Landlord, and BroadSoft, Inc., as Tenant. Any notice or notices of default
