ARTICLE TWO: LEASE TERM
Section 2.01. LEASE OF PROPERTY FOR LEASE TERM. Landlord leases the
Property to Tenant and Tenant leases the Property from Landlord for the Lease
Term. The Lease Term is for the period stated in Section 1.05 above and
shall begin and end on the dates specified in Section 1.05 above, unless the
beginning or end of the Lease Term is changed under any provision of this
Lease. The "Commencement Date" shall be the date specified in Section 1.05
above for the beginning of the Lease Term, unless advanced or delayed under
any provision of this Lease.
Section 2.02. DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Property to Tenant on
the Commencement Date. Landlord's non-delivery of the Property to Tenant on
that date shall not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease except that the Commencement Date shall be delayed until Landlord
delivers possession of the Property to Tenant and the Lease Term shall be
extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of possession of the
Property to Tenant, plus the number of days necessary to end the Lease Term
on the last day of a month. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the
Property to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant
may elect to cancel this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within
ten (10) days after the sixty (60) -day period ends. If Tenant gives such
notice, the Lease shall be cancelled and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
have any further obligations to the other. If Tenant does not give such
notice, Xxxxxx's right to cancel the Lease shall expire and the Lease Term
shall commence upon the delivery of possession of the Property to Tenant. If
delivery of possession of the Property to Tenant is delayed, Landlord and
Tenant shall, upon such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting
forth the actual Commencement Date and expiration date of the Lease. Failure
to execute such amendment shall not affect the actual Commencement Date and
expiration date of the Lease.
Section 2.03. EARLY OCCUPANCY. If Tenant occupies the Property prior
to the Commencement Date, Xxxxxx's occupancy of the Property shall be subject
to all of the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Property
shall not advance the expiration date of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Base
Rent and all other charges specified in this Lease for the early occupancy
period.
Section 2.04. HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall vacate the Property upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages which Landlord incurs
from Xxxxxx's delay in vacating the Property. If Tenant does not vacate the
Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and Landlord
thereafter accepts rent from Tenant, Xxxxxx's occupancy of the Property shall
be a "month-to-month" tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease
applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the Base Rent then in
effect shall be increased by twenty-five percent (25%).
ARTICLE THREE: BASE RENT
Section 3.01. TIME AND MANNER OF PAYMENT. Upon commencement of this
Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Base Rent in the amount stated in Paragraph
1.12(a) above for the first month of the Lease Term. On the first day of the
second month of the Lease Term and each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the Base Rent, in advance, without offset, deduction or prior demand.
The Base Rent shall be payable at Landlord's address or at such other place as
Landlord may designate in writing.
Section 3.02 Deleted.
Section 3.03 SECURITY DEPOSIT; INCREASES.
(a) Upon the commencement of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord a cash Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 1.10 above.
Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid rent or
other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other defaults of Tenant. If
Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit Tenant shall restore the Security
Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after Landlord's written
request. Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material default under this
Lease. No interest shall be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not
be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts and no
trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit.
(b) Each time the Base Rent is increased, Tenant shall deposit additional
funds with Landlord sufficient to increase the Security Deposit to an amount
which bears the same relationship to the adjusted Base Rent as the initial
Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent.
Section 3.04. TERMINATION; ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this
Lease under Article Seven (Damage or Destruction), Article Eight (Condemnation)
or any other termination not resulting from Xxxxxx's default, and after Tenant
has vacated the Property in the manner required by this Lease, Landlord shall
refund or credit to Tenant (or Xxxxxx's successor) the unused portion of the
Security Deposit, any advance rent or other advance payments made by Tenant to
Landlord, and any amounts paid for real property taxes and other reserves which
apply to any time periods after termination of the Lease.
ARTICLE FOUR: OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY TENANT
Section 4.01. ADDITIONAL RENT. All charges payable by Tenant other than
Base Rent are called "Additional Rent." Unless this Lease provides otherwise,
Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent then due with the next monthly installment
of Base Rent. The term "rent" shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent.
2
Section 4.02. PROPERTY TAXES.
(a) REAL PROPERTY TAXES. Landlord shall pay the "Base Real Property
Taxes" on the Property during the Lease Term. Base Real Property Taxes are
real property taxes applicable to the Property as shown on the tax bill for
the most recent tax fiscal year ending prior to the Commencement Date.
However, if the structures on the Property are not completed by the tax lien
date of such tax fiscal year, the Base Real Property Taxes are the taxes
shown on the first tax bill showing the full assessed value of the Property
after completion of the structures. Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, if
any, by which the real property taxes during the Lease Term exceed the Base
Real Property Taxes. Subject to Paragraph 4.02(c), Tenant shall make such
payments within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's statement
showing the amount and computation of such increase. Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for any real property taxes paid by Tenant covering any
period of time prior to or after the Lease Term.
(b) DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX." "Real property tax" means: (i)
any fee, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental
tax, levy, charge, assessment, penalty or tax imposed by any taxing authority
against the Property; (ii) any tax on the Landlord's right to receive, or the
receipt of, rent or income from the Property, or against Landlord's business
of leasing the Property; (iii) any tax or charge for fire protection,
streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or other services provided to
the Property by any governmental agency; (iv) any tax imposed upon this
transaction or based upon a re-assessment of the Property due to a change of
ownership, as defined by applicable law, or other transfer of all or part of
Landlord's interest in the Property; and (v) any charge or fee replacing any
tax previously included within the definition of real property tax. "Real
property tax" does not, however, include Landlord's federal or state income,
franchise, inheritance or estate taxes.
(c) JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Property is not separately assessed,
Landlord shall reasonably determine Tenant's share of the real property tax
payable by Tenant under Paragraph 4.02(a) from the assessor's worksheets or
other reasonably available information. Tenant shall pay such share to
Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's written
statement.
(d) PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
(i) Tenant shall pay all taxes charged against trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property
belonging to Xxxxxx. Tenant shall try to have personal property
taxed separately from the Property.
(ii) If any of Tenant's personal property is taxed with the
Property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal
property within fifteen (15) days after Xxxxxx receives a written
statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes.
Section 4.03. UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate
supplier, the cost of all natural gas, heat, light, power, sewer service,
telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied
to the Property. However, if any services or utilities are jointly metered
with other property, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of
Tenant's proportionate share of the cost of such utilities and services and
Tenant shall pay such share to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of Landlord's written statement.
Section 4.04 INSURANCE POLICIES.
(a) LIABILITY INSURANCE. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain
a policy of commercial general liability insurance (sometimes known as broad
form comprehensive general liability insurance) insuring Tenant against
liability for bodily injury, property damage (including loss of use of
property) and personal injury arising out of the operation, use or occupancy
of the Property. Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured under
such policy. The initial amount of such insurance shall be One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and shall be subject to periodic increase
based upon inflation, increased liability awards, recommendation of
Landlord's professional insurance advisers and other relevant factors. The
liability insurance obtained by Tenant under this Paragraph 4.04(a) shall (i)
be primary and non-contributing; (ii) contain cross-liability endorsements;
and (iii) insure Landlord against Tenant's performance under Section 5.05, if
the matters giving rise to the indemnity under Section 5.05 result from the
negligence of Tenant. The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not
limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any other obligation under
this Lease. Landlord may also obtain comprehensive public liability
insurance in an amount and with coverage determined by Landlord insuring
Landlord against liability arising out of ownership, operation, use or
occupancy of the Property. The policy obtained by Landlord shall not be
contributory and shall not provide primary insurance.
(b) PROPERTY AND RENTAL INCOME INSURANCE. During the Lease Term,
Landlord shall maintain policies of insurance covering loss of or damage to
the Property in the full amount of its replacement value. Such policy shall
contain an Inflation Guard Endorsement and shall provide protection against
all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage,
vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk), sprinkler
leakage and any other perils which Landlord deems reasonably necessary.
Landlord shall have the right to obtain flood and earthquake insurance if
required by any lender holding a security interest in the Property. Landlord
shall not obtain insurance for Tenant's fixtures or equipment or building
improvements installed by Tenant on the Property. During the Lease Term,
Landlord shall also maintain a rental income insurance policy, with loss
payable to Landlord, in an amount equal to one year's Base Rent, plus
estimated real property taxes and insurance premiums. Tenant shall be liable
for the payment of any deductible amount under Landlord's or Tenant's
insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.04, in an
3
amount not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Tenant shall not do or
permit anything to be done which invalidates any such insurance policies.
(c) PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS.
(i) Landlord shall pay the "Base Premiums" for the
insurance policies maintained by Landlord under Paragraph
4.04(b). If the Property has been previously fully occupied, the
"Base Premiums" are the insurance premiums paid during or
applicable to the last twelve (12) months of such prior
occupancy. If the Property has not been previously fully
occupied or has been occupied for less than twelve (12) months,
the Base Premiums are the lowest annual premiums reasonably
obtainable for the required insurance for the Property as of the
Commencement Date.
(ii) Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, if any, by which
the insurance premiums for all policies maintained by Landlord
under Paragraph 4.04(b) have increased over the Base Premiums,
whether such increases result from the nature of Tenant's
occupancy, any act or omission of Tenant, the requirement of any
lender referred to in Article Eleven (Protection of Lenders), the
increased value of the Property or general rate increases.
However, if Landlord substantially increases the amount of
insurance carried or the percentage of insured value after the
period during which the Base Premiums were calculated, Tenant
shall only pay Landlord the amount of increased premiums which
would have been charged by the insurance carrier if the amount of
insurance or percentage of insured value had not been
substantially increased by Landlord. This adjustment in the
amount due from Tenant shall be made only once during the Lease
Term. Thereafter, Tenant shall be obligated to pay the full
amount of any additional increases in the insurance premiums,
including increases resulting from any further increases in the
amount of insurance or percentage of insured value. Subject to
Section 4.05, Tenant shall pay Landlord the increases over the
Base Premiums within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of
a copy of the premium statement or other evidence of the amount
due. If the insurance policies maintained by Landlord cover
improvements or real property other than the Property, Landlord
shall also deliver to Tenant a statement of the amount of the
premiums applicable to the Property showing, in reasonable
detail, how such amount was computed. If the Lease Term expires
before the expiration of the insurance period, Tenant's liability
shall be pro rated on an annual basis.
(d) GENERAL INSURANCE PROVISIONS.
(i) Any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain
under this Lease shall include a provision which requires the
insurance carrier to give Landlord not less than thirty (30)
days' written notice prior to any cancellation or modification of
such coverage.
(ii) If Tenant fails to deliver any policy, certificate or
renewal to Landlord required under this Lease within the
prescribed time period or if any such policy is cancelled or
modified during the Lease Term without Landlord's consent,
Landlord may obtain such insurance, in which case Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for the cost of such insurance within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of a statement that indicates the cost of
such insurance.
(iii) Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under
this Lease with companies holding a "General Policy Rating" of A-
12 or better, as set forth in the most current issue of 'Best Key
Rating Guide". Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the insurance
markets are rapidly changing and that insurance in the form and
amounts described in this Section 4.04 may not be available in
the future. Tenant acknowledges that the described in this
Section 4.04 is for the primary benefit of Landlord. If at any
time during the Lease Term, Tenant is unable to maintain the
insurance required under the Lease, Tenant shall nevertheless
maintain insurance coverage which is customary and commercially
reasonable in the insurance industry for Tenant's type of
business, as that coverage may change from time to time, Landlord
makes no representation as to the adequacy of such insurance to
protect Landlord's or Tenant's interests. Therefore, Tenant
shall obtain any such additional property or liability insurance
which Tenant deems necessary to protect Landlord and Tenant.
(iv) Unless prohibited under any applicable insurance
policies maintained, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any
and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the
officers, employees, agents or representatives of the other, for
loss of or damage to its property or the property of others under
its control, if such loss or damage is covered by any insurance
policy in force (whether or not described in this Lease) at the
time of such loss or damage. Upon obtaining the required
policies of insurance, Landlord and Tenant shall give notice to
the insurance carriers of this mutual waiver of subrogation.
Section 4.05. COMMON AREAS; USE, MAINTENANCE AND COSTS.
(a) COMMON AREAS. As used in this Lease, "Common Areas" shall mean all
areas within the Project which are available for the common use of tenants of
the Project and which are not leased or held for the exclusive use of Tenant or
other tenants, including, but not limited to, parking areas, driveways,
sidewalks, loading areas, access roads, corridors, landscaping and planted
areas. Landlord, from time to time, may change the size, location, nature and
use of any of the Common Areas, convert Common Areas into leaseable areas,
construct additional parking facilities (including parking structures) in the
Common Areas, and increase or decrease Common Area land and/or facilities.
4
Tenant acknowledges that such activities may result in inconvenience to
Tenant. Such activities and changes are permitted if they do not materially
affect Xxxxxx's use of the Property.
(b) USE OF COMMON AREAS. Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right (in
common with other tenants and all others to whom Landlord has granted or may
grant such rights) to use the Common Areas for the purposes intended, subject to
such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to
time. Tenant shall abide by such rules and regulations and shall use its best
effort to cause others who use the Common Areas with Xxxxxx's express or implied
permission to abide by Landlord's rules and regulations. At any time, Landlord
may close any Common Areas to perform any acts in the Common Areas as, in
Landlord's judgment, are desirable to improve the Project. Tenant shall not
interfere with the rights of Landlord, other tenants or any other person
entitled to use the Common Areas.
(c) SPECIFIC PROVISION RE: VEHICLE PARKING. Tenant shall be entitled to
use the number of vehicle parking spaces in the Project allocated to Tenant in
Section 1.11 of the Lease without paying any additional rent. Tenant's parking
shall not be reserved and shall be limited to vehicles no larger than standard
size automobiles or pickup utility vehicles. Tenant shall not cause large
trucks or other large vehicles to be parked within the Project or on the
adjacent public streets. Temporary parking of large delivery vehicles in the
Project may be permitted by the rules and regulations established by Landlord.
Vehicles shall be parked only in striped parking spaces and not in driveways,
loading areas or other locations not specifically designated for parking.
Handicapped spaces shall only be used by those legally permitted to use them.
(d) MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS. Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas
in good order, condition and repair and shall operate the Project, in Landlord's
sole discretion, as a first-class industrial/commercial real property
development. Tenant shall pay Tenant's pro rata share (as determined below) of
all costs incurred by Landlord for the operation and maintenance of the Common
Areas. Common Area costs include, but are not limited to, costs and expenses
for the following: gardening and landscaping; utilities, water and sewage
charges; maintenance of signs (other than tenants' signs); premiums for
liability, property damage, fire and other types of casualty insurance on the
Common Areas and worker's compensation insurance; all property taxes and
assessments levied on or attributable to the Common Areas and all Common Area
improvements; all personal property taxes levied on or attributable to personal
property used in connection with the Common Areas; straight-line depreciation on
personal property owned by Landlord which is consumed in the operation or
maintenance of the Common Areas; rental or lease payments paid by Landlord for
rented or leased personal property used in the operation or maintenance of the
Common Areas; fees for required licenses and permits; repairing, resurfacing,
repaving, maintaining, painting, lighting, cleaning, refuse removal, security
and similar items; reserves for roof replacement and exterior painting and other
appropriate reserves; and a reasonable allowance to Landlord for Landlord's
supervision of the Common Areas (not to exceed five percent (5%) of the gross
rents of the Project for the calendar year). Landlord may cause any or all of
such services to be provided by third parties and the cost of such services
shall be included in Common Area costs. Common Area costs shall not include
depreciation of real property which forms part of the Common Areas.
(e) TENANT'S SHARE AND PAYMENT. Tenant shall pay Tenant's annual pro rata
share of all Common Area costs (prorated for any fractional month) upon written
notice from Landlord that such costs are due and payable, and in any event prior
to delinquency. Tenant's pro rata share shall be calculated by dividing the
square foot area of the Property, as set forth in Section 1.04 of the Lease, by
the aggregate square foot area of the Project which is leased or held for lease
by tenants, as of the date on which the computation is made. Tenant's initial
pro rata share is set out in Paragraph 1.13(b). Any changes in the Common Area
costs and/or the aggregate area of the Project leased or held for lease during
the Lease Term shall be effective on the first day of the month after such
change occurs. Landlord may, at Landlord's election, estimate in advance and
charge to Tenant as Common Area costs, all real property taxes for which Tenant
is liable under Section 4.02 of the Lease, all insurance premiums for which
Tenant is liable under Section 4.04 of the Lease, all maintenance and repair
costs for which Tenant is liable under Section 6.04 of the Lease, and all other
Common Area costs payable by Tenant hereunder. At Landlord's election, such
statements of estimated Common Area costs shall be delivered monthly, quarterly
or at any other periodic intervals to be designated by Landlord. Landlord may
adjust such estimates at any time based upon Xxxxxxxx's experience and
reasonable anticipation of costs. Such adjustments shall be effective as of the
next rent payment date after notice to Tenant. Within sixty (60) days after the
end of each calendar year of the Lease Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Common Area costs paid or incurred by
Landlord during the preceding calendar year and Xxxxxx's pro rata share. Upon
receipt of such statement, there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and
Tenant, with payment to or credit given by Landlord (as the case may be) so that
Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant's share of such costs and
expenses for such period.
Section 4.06. LATE CHARGES. Xxxxxx's failure to pay rent promptly may
cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs are
impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but
are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may
be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering
the Property. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any rent payment within
ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge
equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will
incur by reason of such late payment. There will be a $50.00 charge assessed
for Non Sufficient Funds.
5
Section 4.07. INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any amount owed by Tenant
to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of Ten
percent (10%) per annum from the due date of such amount. However, interest
shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The
payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by
Tenant under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher
than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the
maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.
Section 4.08 Deleted.
ARTICLE FIVE: USE OF PROPERTY
Section 5.01. PERMITTED USES. Tenant may use the Property only for the
Permitted Uses set forth In Section 1.06 above.
Section 5.02. MANNER OF USE. Tenant shall not cause or permit the
Property to be used in any way which constitutes a violation of any law,
ordinance, or governmental regulation or order, which annoys or interferes with
the rights of tenants of the Project, or which constitutes a nuisance or waste.
Tenant shall obtain and pay for all permits, including a Certificate of
Occupancy, required for Tenant's occupancy of the Property and shall promptly
take all actions necessary to comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders and requirements regulating the use by Tenant of the
Property, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

materials, including any substances defined as or included in the definition of
"hazardous substances", "hazardous wastes", "hazardous materials" or "toxic

pesticides, amonnia compounds and other chemical products, asbestos, PCBs and
similar compounds, and including any different products and materials which are
subsequently found to have adverse effects on the environment or the health and
safety of persons. Tenants shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to
be generated, produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated or disposed of in or
about the Property by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, sublessees or
invitees without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord shall be
entitled to take into account such other factors or facts as Landlord may
reasonably determine to be relevant in determining whether to grant or withhold
consent to Tenant's proposed activity with respect to Hazardous Material. In no
event, however, shall Landlord be required to consent to the installation or use
of any storage tanks on the Property.
Section 5.04. SIGNS AND AUCTIONS. Tenant shall not place any signs on the
Property without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall not conduct or
permit any auctions or sheriff's sales at the Property.
Section 5.05. INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and hold
Landlord harmless from any and all costs, claims or liability arising from: (a)
Tenant's use of the Property; (b) the conduct of Tenant's business or anything
else done or permitted by Tenant to be done in or about the Property, including
any contamination of the Property or any other property resulting from the
presence or use of Hazardous Material caused or permitted by Tenant; (c) any
breach or default in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease;
(d) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Tenant under this Lease; or
(e) other acts or omissions of Tenant. Tenant shall defend Landlord against any
such cost, claim or liability at Xxxxxx's expense with counsel reasonably
acceptable to Landlord or, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for any legal fees or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any
such claim. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Xxxxxx assumes
all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Property
arising from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof
against Landlord, except for any claim arising out of Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. As used in this Section, the term "Tenant"
shall include Tenant's employees, agents, contractors and invitees, if
applicable.
Section 5.06. LANDLORD'S ACCESS. Landlord or its agents may enter the
Property at all reasonable times to show the Property to potential buyers,
investors or tenants or other parties; to do any other act or to inspect and
conduct tests in order to monitor Tenant's compliance with all applicable

Landlord may place customary "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs on the Property.
Section 5.07. QUIET POSSESSION. If Tenant pays the rent and complies with
all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy and enjoy the Property for the

ARTICLE SIX: CONDITION OF PROPERTY; MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS
Section 6.01. EXISTING CONDITIONS. Tenant accepts the Property in its
condition as of the execution of the Lease, subject to all recorded matters,
laws, ordinances, and governmental regulations and orders. Except as provided
herein, Xxxxxx acknowledges that neither Xxxxxxxx nor any agent of Landlord has
made any representation as to the condition of the Property or the suitability
of the Property for Xxxxxx's intended use. Tenant represents and warrants that
Tenant has made its own inspection of and inquiry regarding the condition of the
Property and is not relying on any representations of Landlord or any Broker
with respect thereto. If Landlord or Landlord's Broker has provided a
6
Property Information Sheet or other Disclosure Statement regarding the
Property, a copy is attached as an exhibit to the Lease.
Section 6.02. *EXEMPTION OF LANDLORD FROM LIABILITY. Landlord shall not
be liable for any damage or injury to the person, business (or any loss of
income therefrom), goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Tenant,
Tenant's employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the
Property, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from: (a) fire,
steam, electricity, water, gas or rain; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction
or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c) conditions arising in
or about the Property or upon other portions of the Project, or from other
sources or places; or (d) any act or omission of any other tenant of the
Project. Landlord shall not be liable for any such damage or injury even though
the cause of or the means of repairing such damage or injury are not accessible
to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 6.02 shall not, however, exempt
Landlord from liability for Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
*Reference Improvement Page.
Section 6.03. LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of
Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) and Article Eight (Condemnation), and
except for damage caused by any act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant's
employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Landlord shall keep the foundation,
roof and structural portions of exterior walls of the improvements on the
Property in good order, condition and repair. However, Landlord shall not be
obligated to maintain or repair windows, doors, plate glass or the surfaces of
walls. Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs under this Section
6.03 until a reasonable time after receipt of a written notice from Tenant of
the need for such repairs. Tenant waives the benefit of any present or future
law which might give Tenant the right to repair the Property at Landlord's
expense or to terminate the Lease because of the condition of the Property.
Section 6.04. TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS.
(a) Except as provided in Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) and
Article Eight (Condemnation), Tenant shall keep all portions of the Property
(including structural, nonstructural, interior, systems and equipment) in
good order, condition and repair (including interior repainting and
refinishing, as needed). If any portion of the Property or any system or
equipment in the Property which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully
repaired or restored, Tenant shall promptly replace such portion of the
Property or system or equipment in the Property, regardless of whether the
benefit of such replacement extends beyond the Lease Term; but if the benefit
or useful life of such replacement extends beyond the Lease Term (as such
term may be extended by exercise of any options), the useful life of such
replacement shall be prorated over the remaining portion of the Lease Term
(as extended), and Tenant shall be liable only for that portion of the cost
which is applicable to the Lease Term (as extended). Landlord shall
undertake the responsibility for preventive maintenance of the heating and
air conditioning system at Tenant's expense. In addition, Tenant shall, at
Tenant's expense, repair any damage to the roof, foundation or structural
portions of walls caused by Tenant's acts or omissions. It is the intention
of Landlord and Tenant that, at all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall
maintain the Property in an attractive, first-class and fully operative
condition.
(b) Tenant shall fulfill all of Tenant's obligations under this Section
6.04 at Tenant's sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain, repair or replace
the Property as required by this Section 6.04, Landlord may, upon ten (10) days'
prior notice to Tenant (except that no notice shall be required in the case of
an emergency), enter the Property and perform such maintenance or repair
(including replacement, as needed) on behalf of Tenant. In such case, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred in performing such maintenance
or repair immediately upon demand.
Section 6.05. ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, AND IMPROVEMENTS.
(a) Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to
the Property without Landlord's prior written consent, except for non-structural
alterations which do not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in cost
cumulatively over the Lease Term and which are not visible from the outside of
any building of which the Property is part. Landlord may require Tenant to
provide demolition and/or lien and completion bonds in form and amount
satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall promptly remove any alterations,
additions, or improvements constructed in violation of this Paragraph 6.05(a)
upon Landlord's written request. All alterations, additions, and improvements
shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with all
applicable laws and regulations, and by a contractor approved by Landlord. Upon
completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with "as built"
plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor
and materials.
(b) Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor and material furnished
to the Property. Tenant shall give Landlord at least twenty (20) days' prior
written notice of the commencement of any work on the Property, regardless of
whether Xxxxxxxx's consent to such work is required. Landlord may elect to
record and post notices of non-responsibility on the Property.
Section 6.06. CONDITION UPON TERMINATION. Upon the termination of the
Lease, Xxxxxx shall surrender the Property to Landlord, broom clean and in the
same condition as received except for ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was
not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease. However,
Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage which Landlord is required to
repair under Article Seven (Damage or Destruction). In addition, Landlord may
require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements (whether or
not made with Xxxxxxxx's consent) prior to the expiration of the Lease and to
restore the Property to its prior condition, all at Tenant's expense. All
alterations, additions and improvements which Landlord has not required Tenant
to remove shall become Landlord's property and shall be surrendered to Landlord
upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, except
7
that Tenant may remove any of Tenant's machinery or equipment which can be
removed without material damage to the Property. Tenant shall repair, at
Tenant's expense, any damage to the Property caused by the removal of any
such machinery or equipment. In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of
the following materials or equipment (which shall be deemed Landlord's
property) without Landlord's prior written consent: any power wiring or power
panels; lighting or lighting fixtures; wall coverings; drapes, blinds or
other window coverings; carpets or other floor coverings; heaters, air
conditioners or any other heating or air conditioning equipment; fencing or
security gates; or other similar building operating equipment and decorations.
ARTICLE SEVEN: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 7.01. PARTIAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
(a) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing immediately upon the
occurrence of any damage to the Property. If the Property is only partially
damaged (i.e., less than fifty percent (50%) of the Property is untenantable as
a result of such damage or less than fifty percent (50%) of Tenant's operations
are materially impaired) and if the proceeds received by Landlord from the
insurance policies described in Paragraph 4.04(b) are sufficient to pay for the
necessary repairs, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord shall repair
the damage in 180 days. Landlord may elect (but is not required) to repair any
damage to Tenant's fixtures, equipment, or improvements.
(b) If the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to
pay the entire cost of repair, or if the cause of the damage is not covered by
the insurance policies which Landlord maintains under Paragraph 4.04(b) Landlord
may elect either to (i) repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible, in
which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or (ii) terminate
this Lease as of the date the damage occurred. Landlord shall notify Tenant
within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the damage
whether Landlord elects to repair the damage or terminate the Lease. If
Landlord elects to repair the damage, Tenant shall pay Landlord the "deductible
amount" (if any) under Landlord's insurance policies and, if the damage was due
to an act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or
invitees, the difference between the actual cost of repair and any insurance
proceeds received by Landlord. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease,
Tenant may elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect, in which case
Tenant shall repair any damage to the Property and any building in which the
Property is located. Tenant shall pay the cost of such repairs, except that
upon satisfactory completion of such repairs, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
any insurance proceeds received by Landlord for the damage repaired by Tenant.
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such election within ten (10) days
after receiving Landlord's termination notice.
(c) If the damage to the Property occurs during the last six (6) months of
the Lease Term and such damage will require more than thirty (30) days to
repair, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the
date the damage occurred, regardless of the sufficiency of any insurance
proceeds. The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written
notification to the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after
Xxxxxx's notice to Landlord of the occurrence of the damage.
Section 7.02. SUBSTANTIAL OR TOTAL DESTRUCTION. If the Property is
substantially or totally destroyed by any cause whatsoever (i.e., the damage to
the Property is greater than partial damage as described in Section 7.01), and
regardless of whether Landlord receives any insurance proceeds, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date the destruction occurred. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if the Property can be rebuilt within six (6) months after
the date of destruction, Landlord may elect to rebuild the Property at
Landlord's own expense, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect. Landlord shall notify Tenant of such election within thirty (30) days
after Xxxxxx's notice of the occurrence of total or substantial destruction. If
Landlord so elects, Landlord shall rebuild the Property at Landlord's sole
expense, except that if the destruction was caused by an act or omission of
Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference between the actual cost of
rebuilding and any insurance proceeds received by Landlord.
Section 7.03. TEMPORARY REDUCTION OF RENT. If the Property is destroyed
or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Property pursuant to
the provisions of this Article Seven, any rent payable during the period of such
damage, repair and/or restoration shall be reduced according to the degree, if
any, to which Xxxxxx's use of the Property is impaired. However, the reduction
shall not exceed the sum of one year's payment of Base Rent, insurance premiums
and real property taxes. Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent,
insurance premiums and real property taxes, Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any
damage, destruction, repair, or restoration of or to the Property.
Section 7.04. WAIVER. Tenant waives the protection of any statute, code
or judicial decision which grants a tenant the right to terminate a lease in the
event of the substantial or total destruction of the leased property. Tenant
agrees that the provisions of Section 7.02 above shall govern the rights and
obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the event of any substantial or total
destruction to the Property.
ARTICLE EIGHT: CONDEMNATION
If all or any portion of the Property is taken under the power of eminent
domain or sold under the threat of that power (all of which are called
"Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken or sold on
the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs
first. If more than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the building in
which the Property is located, or which is located on the Property, is taken,
either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the
condemning authority takes title or possession, by delivering written notice
to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such
taking (or in the absence of such notice,
8
within ten (10) days after the condemning authority takes title or
possession). If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease, this
Lease shall remain in effect as to the portion of the Property not taken,
except that the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be reduced in proportion
to the reduction in the floor area of the Property. Any Condemnation award
or payment shall be distributed in the following order: (a) first, to any
ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the
Property, the amount of its interest in the Property; (b) second, to Tenant,
only the amount of any award specifically designated for loss of or damage to
Tenant's trade fixtures or removable personal property; and (c) third, to
Landlord, the remainder of such award, whether as compensation for reduction
in the value of the leasehold, the taking of the fee, or otherwise. If this
Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Property
caused by the Condemnation, except that Landlord shall not be obligated to
repair any damage for which Tenant has been reimbursed by the condemning
authority. If the severance damages received by Landlord are not sufficient
to pay for such repair, Landlord shall have the right to either terminate
this Lease or make such repair at Landlord's expense.
ARTICLE NINE: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 9.01. LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. No portion of the Property or
of Tenant's interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or
entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of
law, or act of Tenant, without Xxxxxxxx's prior written consent, except as
provided in Section 9.02 below. Landlord has the right to grant or withhold its
consent as provided in Section 9.05 below. Any attempted transfer without
consent shall be void and shall constitute a non-curable breach of this Lease.
If Tenant is a partnership, any cumulative transfer of more than twenty percent
(20%) of the partnership interests shall require Landlord's consent. If Tenant
is a corporation, any change in the ownership of a controlling interest of the
voting stock of the corporation shall require Landlord's consent.
Section 9.02. TENANT AFFILIATE. Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease
the Property, without Landlord's consent, to any corporation which controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation
resulting from the merger of or consolidation with Tenant ("Tenant's
Affiliate"). In such case, any Tenant's Affiliate shall assume in writing all
of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
Section 9.03. NO RELEASE OF TENANT. No transfer permitted by this Article
Nine, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall release Tenant or change
Tenant's primary liability to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations
of Tenant under this Lease. Xxxxxxxx's acceptance of rent from any other person
is not a waiver of any provision of this Article Nine. Consent to one transfer
is not a consent to any subsequent transfer. If Xxxxxx's transferee defaults
under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing
remedies against the transferee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments
or modifications of this Lease by Xxxxxx's transferee, without notifying Tenant
or obtaining its consent. Such action shall not relieve Xxxxxx's liability
under this Lease.
Section 9.04. OFFER TO TERMINATE. If Tenant desires to assign the Lease
or sublease the Property, Tenant shall have the right to offer, in writing, to
terminate the Lease as of a date specified in the offer. If Landlord elects in
writing to accept the offer to terminate within twenty (20) days after notice of
the offer, the Lease shall terminate as of the date specified and all the terms
and provisions of the Lease governing termination shall apply. If Landlord does
not so elect, the Lease shall continue in effect until otherwise terminated and
the provisions of Section 9.05 with respect to any proposed transfer shall
continue to apply.
Section 9.05. LANDLORD'S CONSENT.
(a) Xxxxxx's request for consent to any transfer described in Section 9.01
shall set forth in writing the details of the proposed transfer, including the
name, business and financial condition of the prospective transferee, financial
details of the proposed transfer (e.g., the term of and the rent and security
deposit payable under any proposed assignment or sublease), and any other
information Landlord deems relevant. Landlord shall have the right to withhold
consent, if reasonable, or to grant consent, based on the following factors: (i)
the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the proposed use of the
Property; (ii) the net worth and financial reputation of the proposed assignee
or subtenant; (iii) Tenant's compliance with all of its obligations under the
Lease; and (iv) such other factors as Landlord may reasonably deem relevant. If
Landlord objects to a proposed assignment solely because of the net worth and/or
financial reputation of the proposed assignee, Tenant may nonetheless sublease
(but not assign), all or a portion of the Property to the proposed transferee,
but only on the other terms of the proposed transfer.
(b) If Tenant assigns or subleases, the following shall apply:
(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent under
the Lease the Landlord's Share (stated in Section 1.14) of the
Profit (defined below) on such transaction as and when received
by Xxxxxx, unless Xxxxxxxx gives written notice to Xxxxxx and the
assignee or subtenant that Landlord's Share shall be paid by the
assignee or subtenant to Landlord directly. The "Profit" means
(A) all amounts paid to Tenant for such assignment or sublease,
including "key" money, monthly rent in excess of the monthly rent
payable under the Lease, and all fees and other consideration
paid for the assignment or sublease, including fees under any
collateral agreements, less (B) costs and expenses directly
incurred by Tenant in connection with the execution and
performance of such assignment or sublease for real estate
broker's commissions and costs of renovation or construction of
tenant improvements required under such assignment or sublease.
Tenant is entitled to recover such costs and expenses before
Tenant is obligated to pay the Landlord's Share to Landlord. The
Profit in the case of a sublease of less than all the Property IS
the rent allocable to the subleased space as a percentage on a
square footage basis.
9
(ii). Tenant shall provide Landlord a written statement
certifying all amounts to be paid from any assignment or sublease
of the Property within thirty (30) days after the transaction
documentation is signed, and Landlord may inspect Tenant's books
and records to verify the accuracy of such statement. On written
request, Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord copies of all
the transaction documentation, all of which shall be certified by
Tenant to be complete, true and correct. Xxxxxxxx's receipt of
Landlord's Share shall not be a consent to any further assignment
or subletting. The breach of Tenant's obligation under this
Paragraph 9.05(b) shall be a material default of the Lease.
Section 9.06. NO MERGER. No merger shall result from Xxxxxx's sublease of
the Property under this Article Nine, Xxxxxx's surrender of this Lease or the
termination of this Lease in any other manner. In any event, Landlord may
terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as
sublandlord under any or all subtenancies.
ARTICLE TEN: DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
Section 10.01. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Xxxxxx's performance of each of
Tenant's obligations under thy Lease is a condition as well as a covenant.
Xxxxxx's right to continue in possession of the Property is conditioned upon
such performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants
and conditions.
Section 10.02. DEFAULTS. Tenant shall be in material default under this
Lease:
(a) If Xxxxxx abandons the Property or if Xxxxxx's vacation of the
Property results in the cancellation of any insurance described in Section 4.04;
(b) If Tenant fails to pay rent or any other charge; within five (5)
business days after receipt of notice.
(c) If Tenant fails to perform any of Xxxxxx's non-monetary obligations
under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from
Landlord; provided that if more than thirty (30) days are required to complete
such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences such
performance within the thirty (30) -day period and thereafter diligently pursues
its completion. However, Landlord shall not be required to give such notice if
Xxxxxx's failure to perform constitutes a non-curable breach of this Lease, The
notice required by this Paragraph is intended to satisfy any and all notice
requirements imposed by law on Landlord and is not in addition to any such
requirement.
(d) (i) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for
the benefit of creditors; (ii) if a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or
for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is not
dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) if a trustee or receiver is appointed
to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
Property or of Tenant's interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to
Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) if substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Property or of Tenant's interest in this Lease is subjected to
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged within
thirty (30) days. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of
the acts described in this subparagraph (d) is not a default under this Lease,
and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a debtor in
possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant's interest hereunder,
then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the excess, if any, of the rent
(or any other consideration) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease
over the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease.
(e) If any guaranor of the Lease revokes or otherwise terminates, or
purports to revoke or otherwise terminate, any guaranty of all or any portion of
Tenant's obligations tinder the Lease. Unless otherwise expressly provided, no
guaranty of the Lease is revocable.
Section 10.03. REMEDIES. On the occurrence of any material default by
Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which
Landlord may have:
(a) Terminate Xxxxxx's right to possession of the Property by any lawful
means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately
surrender possession of the Property to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall
be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of
Tenant's default, including (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid
Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord had earned at the
time of the termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount
by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Xxxxxxxx
would have earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably
avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the
unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and-other charges which Xxxxxx would have paid
for the balance of the Lease term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; and
(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Xxxxxx's failure to perform its obligations under the
Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses Landlord incurs
in maintaining or preserving the Property after such default, the cost of
recovering possession of the Property, expenses of reletting, including
necessary renovation or alteration of the Property, Xxxxxxxx's reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith, and any real estate commission
paid or payable. As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the
10
time of the award" is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the
rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, or such lesser amount as may then be
the maximum lawful rate. As used in subpart (iii) above, the "worth at the
time of the award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount
rate of the Federil Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award,
plus one percent (1%). If Tenant has abandoned the Property, Landlord shall
have the option of (i) retaking, possession of the Property and recovering
from Tenant the amount specified in this Paragraph 10.03(a), or (ii)
proceeding under Paragraph 10.03(b);
(b) Maintain Tenant's right to possession, in which case this Lease shall
continue in effect whether or not Tenant has abandoned the Property. In such
event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord's rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes
due;
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Property is located.
Section 10.04. REPAYMENT OF "FREE" RENT. If this Lease provides for a
postponement of any monthly rental payments, a period of "free" rent or other
rent concession, such postponed rent or "free" rent is called the "Abated
Rent". Tenant shall be credited with having paid all of the Abated Rent on
the expiration of the Lease Term only if Xxxxxx has fully, faithfully, and
punctually performed all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, including the
payment of all rent (other than the Abated Rent) and all other monetary
obligations and the surrender of the Property in the physical condition
required by this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that its right to receive credit
for the Abated Rent is absolutely conditioned upon Tenant's full, faithful
and punctual performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant
defaults and does not cure within any applicable grace period, the Abated
Rent shall immediately become due and payable in full and this Lease shall be
enforced as if there were no such rent abatement or other rent concession.
In such case Abated Rent shall be calculated based on the full initial rent
payable under this Lease.
Section 10.05. AUTOMATIC TERMINATION. Notwithstanding any other term or
provision hereof to the contrary, the Lease shall terminate on the occurrence of
any act which affirms the Landlord's intention to terminate the Lease as
provided in Section 10.03 hereof, including the filing of an unlawful detainer
action against Tenant. On such termination, Xxxxxxxx's damages for default
shall include all costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys' fees that
Landlord incurs in connection with the filing, commencement, pursuing and/or
defending of any action in any bankruptcy court or other court with respect to
the Lease; the obtaining of relief from any stay in bankruptcy restraining any
action to evict Tenant; or the pursuing of any action with respect to Landlord's
right to possession of the Property. All such damages suffered (apart from Base
Rent and other rent payable hereunder) shall constitute pecuniary damages which
must be reimbursed to Landlord prior to assumption of the Lease by Tenant or any
successor to Xxxxxx in any bankruptcy or other proceeding.
Section 10.06. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Xxxxxxxx's exercise of any right or
remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy.
ARTICLE ELEVEN: PROTECTION OF LENDERS
Section 11.01. SUBORDINATION. Landlord shall have the right to subordinate
this Lease to any ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the
Property, any advances made on the security thereof and any renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made
or recorded. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and any lender which is
acquiring a security interest in the Property or the Lease. Tenant shall
execute such further documents and assurances as such lender may require,
provided that Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall not be increased in
any material way (the performance of ministerial acts shall not be deemed
material), and Tenant shall not be deprived of its rights under this Lease.
Xxxxxx's right to quiet possession of the Property during the Lease Term shall
not be disturbed if Tenant pays the rent and performs all of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default. If any ground
lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of
its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to
Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or
mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said
ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof.
Section 11.02. ATTORNMENT. If Xxxxxxxx's interest in the Property is
acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee, or
purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or
successor to Xxxxxxxx's interest in the Property and recognize such transferee
or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant waives the protection of any
statute or rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to
terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Property upon the transfer
of Landlord's interest.
Section 11.03. SIGNING OF DOCUMENTS. Tenant shall sign and deliver any
instrument or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any such attornment
or subordination or agreement to do so. If Tenant fails to do so within ten
(10) days after written request, Tenant hereby makes, constitutes and
irrevocably appoints Landlord, or any transferee or successor of Landlord, the
attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such instrument or
document.
Section 11.04. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
(a) Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (i) that none of the terms
or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed,
stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled
or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the Base Rent and other charges
and the time period covered by such payment; (iv) that Landlord is not in
default under this Lease (or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating
why); and (v) such other representations or information with respect to Tenant
or the Lease as Landlord may reasonably request or which any
11
prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property may require. Tenant
shall deliver such statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after
Xxxxxxxx's request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any
prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property. Such purchaser or
encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.
(b) If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord within such ten
(10)-day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may
conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and
provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented
by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated except as
otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month's Base
Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not
in default under the Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from
denying the truth of such facts.
Section 11.05. TENANT'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. Within ten (10) days after
written request from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such financial
statements as Landlord reasonably requires to verify the net worth of Tenant or
any assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall
deliver to any lender designated by Landlord any financial statements required
by such lender to facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Property.
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each such financial statement is
a true and accurate statement as of the date of such statement. All financial
statements shall be confidential and shall be used only for the purposes set
forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE TWELVE: LEGAL COSTS
Section 12.01. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. If Tenant or Landlord shall be in breach
or default under this Lease, such party (the "Defaulting Party") shall reimburse
the other party (the "Nondefaulting Party") upon demand for any costs or
expenses that the Nondefaulting Party incurs in connection with any breach or
default of the Defaulting Party under this Lease, whether or not suit is
commenced or judgment entered. Such costs shall include legal fees and costs
incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights or
