All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease or otherwise due by Tenant under this Lease, other than Base Rent, are “Additional Rent”; the term “Rent” includes both Base Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay applicable sales tax on all Rent paid to Landlord hereunder.
Any Rent or other amount due to Landlord, if not paid when due, will bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate of 18% per annum, but not to exceed the highest rate legally permitted.
If any installment of Rent or any other sums due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days following the due date, Tenant will pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 5% of such overdue amount. A fifty dollar ($50) fee will be assessed for any returned checks and all late charges and interest will apply until certified funds are received, and the Tenant’s account is in good standing. The
EXHIBIT 10.54
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Xxxxxx.
Concurrently with Xxxxxx’s execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord $0.00 which will thereafter remain on deposit with Landlord as the security deposit to be held and disbursed pursuant hereto.
Tenant acknowledges its obligation to deposit with Landlord the sum stated in Section 3.05 above, to be held by Landlord without interest as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees that such deposit may be co‑mingled with Landlord's other funds, need not be deposited in an interest-bearing account and is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of an event of default by Tenant hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law, use such deposit fund to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of Rent and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by such event of default, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the security deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not then in default hereunder, any remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant following termination of this Lease.
Landlord will pay the Real Property Taxes (as defined below) on the Property during the Lease Term and Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord for all of the Real Property Taxes.
“Real Property Taxes” means taxes imposed or levied upon or assessed against the Property.
Tenant will pay directly all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, inventory or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant will use its best efforts to have personal property taxed separately from the Property. If any of Tenant’s personal property is taxed with the Property, Tenant will pay Landlord the taxes for such personal property within fifteen (15) days after Xxxxxx receives a written statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes.
Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes. If any of those services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant will pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Landlord of all charges jointly metered with other premises. If these charges remain unpaid for thirty (30) days after they become due and for ten (10) days following Xxxxxx’s receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, Tenant shall be in default and Landlord may exercise all remedies available to Landlord as provided in Article 12 of this Lease. Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay for all other standard utilities necessary to operate the Premises, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no liability, whatsoever, in the event of any interruption, failure or curtailment of any utilities nor shall such interruption, failure or curtailment of any utilities constitute a constructive or partial eviction. Tenant shall make no change in the conduct of business in the Premises from the manner of the conduct of business in the Premises as of the Effective Date of this Lease, or install additional equipment not located on the Premises as of the Effective Date of this Lease which would have the effect of materially increasing Tenant’s consumption of any utilities, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.
Landlord agrees to allow Xxxxxx to install separate UPS power devices in the Premises as Tenant desires; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in the event of any failure of or damage to such power devices or for any damage or consequences resulting from or in any way related to the use of such power devices in the Premises. Tenant shall assume all costs associated with installing and using such UPS power devices, including, but not limited to, the costs of any increase in costs to utilities serving the Premises resulting from the use and operation of such devices.
Tenant, at its expense, will maintain the following insurance coverages during the Lease Term:
EXHIBIT 10.54
During the Lease Term, Landlord will maintain in effect all risk insurance covering loss of or damage to the Property in the amount of its replacement value with such endorsements and deductibles as Landlord determines from time-to-time. Landlord will have the right to obtain flood, earthquake, and such other insurance as Landlord determines from time-to-time or is required by any mortgagee of the Property. Landlord will not insure Tenant’s fixtures or equipment or building improvements installed or paid by Tenant. Landlord may obtain commercial general liability insurance in an amount and with coverage determined by Landlord insuring Landlord against liability with respect to the Premises and the Property. The foregoing policy obtained by Landlord will not provide primary insurance, will not be contributory and will be excess over any liability insurance maintained by Tenant. Landlord will also maintain a rental income insurance policy, with loss payable to Landlord. Any increase in the cost of Landlord’s insurance due to Tenant’s use or activities at the Premises will be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. Landlord’s property insurance shall be reimbursed be tenant upon demand.
EXHIBIT 10.54
This Lease shall be automatically subordinated and inferior to any Mortgage (as defined below) now or hereafter encumbering the Property or any part thereof. Notwithstanding that such subordination is self-operative without any further act of Tenant, Tenant will, from time-to-time, within ten (10) days of request from Landlord, execute and deliver any documents or instruments to confirm such subordination. If Xxxxxx fails to execute and deliver such documents, Landlord is hereby authorized to execute such documents as Xxxxxx’s duly authorized irrevocable agent and attorney-in-fact. “Mortgage” includes any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, together with any amendments, additional advances, restatements, modifications or consolidations of such instrument.
If Xxxxxxxx’s interest in the Property is acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant will attorn to the transferee of or successor to Xxxxxxxx’s interest in the Property and recognize such transferee or successor as successor Landlord under this Lease. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which gives Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest.
Within five (5) days after Xxxxxxxx’s request, Tenant will 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 canceled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the 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, setting forth such default in reasonable detail); and (v) such other information with respect to Tenant or this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request or which any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property may require. Landlord may deliver any such statement by Tenant to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property, and such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct. 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 (and Tenant will be estopped from denying): (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 canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month’s Rent (except as to Base Rent which is due on an annual basis) or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease.
EXHIBIT 10.54
If Tenant’s transportation, storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials results in the contamination of the soil or surface or ground water, release of a Hazardous Material or loss or damage to person(s) or property or the violation of any Environmental Law, then Tenant agrees to: (x) notify Landlord immediately of any contamination, claim of contamination, release, loss or damage, (y) after consultation with Landlord, clean up the contamination in full compliance with all Environmental Laws, and (z) indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, suits, causes of action, costs and fees, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs, arising from or connected with any such contamination, claim of contamination, release, loss or damage. Tenant will fully co-operate with Landlord and provide such documents, affidavits and information as may be requested by Landlord (A) to comply with any Environmental Law, (B) to comply with the request of any lender, purchaser or tenant, and/or (C) as otherwise deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord in its discretion. Tenant will notify Landlord promptly in the event of any spill or other release of any Hazardous Material at, in, on, under or about the Premises which is required to be reported to a governmental authority under any Environmental Law, will promptly forward to Landlord copies of any notices received by Tenant relating to alleged violations of any Environmental Law, will promptly pay when due any fine or assessment against Landlord, Tenant or the Property and remove or bond any lien filed against the Property relating to any violation of Tenant’s obligations with respect to Hazardous Material.
If Landlord determines, in good-faith, that a release or other environmental condition may have occurred during the Lease Term, at Tenant’s cost, Landlord may require an environmental audit of the Premises by a qualified environmental consultant. Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, take all actions recommended in such audit to remediate any environmental conditions for which it is responsible under this Lease.
Landlord or its agents may enter the Premises, upon 1 hours’ notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency in which prior notice shall not be required), to show the Premises to potential buyers, investors or other parties, for routine property inspections and maintenance or for any other purpose Landlord deems reasonably necessary. Without limiting the foregoing, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, Landlord may enter the Premises, upon 8 hours’ notice to Tenant, to show the Premises to potential tenants, and may place customary “For Lease” signs on the Premises.
EXHIBIT 10.54
No sign of any type or description shall be erected, placed or painted on the exterior of the Premises, except those signs submitted to Landlord in writing and approved by Landlord in writing, and which signs are in conformance with Landlord’s sign criteria established for the Property.
Tenant hereby accepts the Property and the Premises in their present “as is, where is, with all faults” condition. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation as to the condition of the Property or the Premises or the suitability of the Property or the Premises for Tenant’s intended use. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own inspection of and inquiry regarding the condition of the Property and the Premises and is not relying on any representations of Landlord or any broker with respect thereto.
Subject to the provisions of Article 10 (Casualty and Condemnation), and except for damage caused by any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Landlord will maintain the Common Areas in good order, condition and repair and will keep the foundation, roof, building systems (including the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system located within the Common Areas), structural supports and exterior walls of the improvements on the Property in good order, condition and repair. Landlord will not be obligated to maintain heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems or repair windows, doors or plate glass that serve the Premises only. Tenant will promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to it which Landlord is required to repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Property caused by Xxxxxx’s acts or omissions which would otherwise be Landlord’s responsibility to maintain, and Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord, plus fifteen (15%) percent, in doing so within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord.
Subject to the provisions of Article 10 (Casualty and Condemnation), at its sole cost and expense, Tenant will keep all portions of the Premises (including, without limitation, all systems and equipment, dock levelers, bumpers, doors and floors, including slabs and slab repairs, crack filling and joint repairs) in good order, condition and repair (including repainting and refinishing, as needed). If any portion of the Premises or any system or equipment in the Premises which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired or restored, Tenant will promptly replace such portion of the Premises or system or equipment. At Tenant’s request, Landlord may perform Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations under this Section 9.03 and Tenant will reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred, plus fifteen (15%) percent, in doing so within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, enter into and maintain a contract with a certified and insured third-party HVAC service contractor, providing for the periodic (at least quarterly) service, maintenance and repair of the HVAC system serving the Premises, which shall provide for a scope of work and periodic services, at a minimum, in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, enter into and maintain a contract with a certified pest control service contractor that shall provide pest control treatments to the interior and exterior of the Premises at a minimum of 90-day intervals. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a copy of the current service contracts, which contracts shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and a current certificate of insurance of the Tenant's service contractor naming Landlord as an additional insured and such certificate shall be in form and substance and contain such coverages satisfactory to Landlord. In the event Landlord obtains an assignable warranty for any HVAC system servicing the Premises, to the extent assignable, Landlord shall assign to Tenant any such assignable warranty on parts and labor for the HVAC system. If any repairs or maintenance required to be made or maintained by Tenant hereunder are not made within ten (10) days after written notice delivered to Tenant by Landlord, or within such lesser time as is reasonable to require in the event of an emergency, Landlord may at its option make such repairs without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage which may result to Tenant's stock or business by reason of such repairs; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, as additional rental hereunder, the Landlord's cost of such repairs plus interest thereon at the per annum rate set forth in Section 3.03, such interest to accrue continuously from the date of payment by Landlord until repayment by Xxxxxx. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Xxxxxx shall surrender the Premises in good condition, excepting reasonable wear and tear and losses required to be restored by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof.
EXHIBIT 10.54
Upon the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, Xxxxxx will surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and install new gravel over the whole yard as approved by Landlord in the condition which Tenant is required to maintain the Premises under this Lease. Landlord may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant during the Term of this Lease prior to the expiration of the Lease and to restore the Premises to their prior condition. Any work which Tenant is not required to remove will, at Landlord’s option, become Landlord’s property and will be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, except that Tenant may remove any of Tenant’s machinery or equipment which can be removed without damage to the Property so long as Tenant repairs any damage caused by such removal.
Landlord will not be liable for any damage or injury to any 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 or the Premises, 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 the Premises, or from other sources or places; (d) any curtailment or interruption in utility services or (e) any act or omission of any other tenant of the Property. Tenant will give Landlord prompt notice upon the occurrence of any accident or casualty at the Premises. The provisions of this Section will not exempt Landlord from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, Landlord will not be liable for any consequential damages.
If more than 20% of the floor area of the Premises or more than 40% of the parking on the Property is taken by eminent domain, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the Lease Term as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, by delivering notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after
EXHIBIT 10.54
the condemning authority takes title or possession). If neither party terminates the Lease Term, this Lease will remain in effect as to the portion of the Premises not taken, except that the Base Rent will be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the floor area of the Premises. Any condemnation award or payment will be paid to Landlord. Tenant will have no claim against Landlord for the value of the unexpired lease term or otherwise; provided, however, Tenant may make a separate claim with the condemning authority for its personal property and/or moving costs so long as Landlord’s award is not reduced thereby.
Tenant will not assign or transfer this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or interest therein, or mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its leasehold interest, in each case without the prior written consent of Landlord. In the event Tenant is a corporation, a partnership or a limited liability company, the conveyance of the controlling interest(s) of the corporation or other entity, or a sale of substantially all the assets of the corporation or other entity, or the assignment of all or any portion of any general partnership interest or managing member or manager therein, as the case may be, shall be deemed an assignment for the purposes hereof.
Xxxxxx’s performance of each of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease is a condition as well as a covenant. Xxxxxx’s right to continue in possession of the Premises is conditioned upon such performance. Time is of the essence in the performance by Tenant of all covenants and conditions.
Each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” under this Lease:
On the occurrence of an Event of Default, 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:
EXHIBIT 10.54
If Landlord elects to exercise the remedy prescribed in Section 12.03(a) above, such election shall in no way prejudice Landlord's right at any time thereafter to cancel said election in favor of the remedy prescribed in Section 12.03(d) above, provided that at the time of such cancellation, Tenant is still in default. Similarly, if Landlord elects to compute damages in the manner prescribed by Section 12.03(b)(i) above, such election shall in no way prejudice Landlord's right at any time thereafter to demand a final settlement in accordance with this Section. Pursuit of any of the above remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedies prescribed in other sections of this Lease and any other remedies provided by law, it being hereby agreed that all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative of one another. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
Landlord may restrain or enjoin any breach or threatened breach of any covenant, duty or obligation of Tenant herein contained without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy or irreparable harm. The remedies of Landlord hereunder and/or at law or in equity shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of each other.
In the event that any one or more provisions of this Article 12 authorize Landlord to enter the Premises, Landlord is entitled and is hereby authorized, without any notice to Tenant, to enter upon the Premises by use of a duplicate key, a master key, a locksmith's entry procedures or any other means not involving personal confrontation, and to alter or change the door locks on all entry doors of the Premises, thereby permanently excluding Tenant. In such event, Landlord shall not be obligated to place any written notice on the Premises explaining Landlord's action; moreover, if a reason for Landlord's action is the failure of Tenant to pay any Rent when due pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to provide the new key (if any) to Tenant until and unless all Rent defaults of Tenant have been fully cured. The terms and provisions of this Section 20.7 supersede the terms and conditions of Section 93.002 of the Texas Property Code, which terms are hereby expressly waived by Tenant.
On any termination, Xxxxxxxx’s damages will include, but shall not be limited to, all costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, that Landlord incurs in connection with any bankruptcy court or other court proceeding or any legal action 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 Premises. All such damages suffered (apart from Xxxx payable hereunder) will constitute
EXHIBIT 10.54
pecuniary damages which will be paid to Landlord prior to assumption of the Lease by Xxxxxx or any successor to Tenant in any bankruptcy or other proceedings.
It is further agreed that, in addition to payments required pursuant to Section 12.03(a) and Section 12.03(d) above, Tenant shall compensate Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in repossessing the Premises following an event of default by Tenant hereunder (including, among other expenses, any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Premises), all expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises thereafter (including, among other expenses, costs of repairs, remodeling, replacements, advertisements and brokerage fees) and all concessions granted to a new tenant upon such reletting (including, among other concessions, renewal options), all losses incurred by Landlord as a direct result of Tenant's event of default, and a reasonable allowance for Landlord's administrative efforts, salaries, and overhead attributable directly to Tenant's event of default and Xxxxxxxx's pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under applicable law.
If, on account of any breach or default by either party hereto in its obligations hereunder, the other party hereto shall employ an attorney to represent, enforce or defend any of its rights or remedies hereunder, the non‑prevailing party in any such legal action agrees to pay any reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease and at law and equity are cumulative and will not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Tenant on paying the Rent and performing its obligations hereunder will peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises throughout the Lease Term without any manner of hindrance from Landlord, subject however to all the terms and provisions hereof.
The obligations of this Lease run with the land, and this Lease will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No owner of the Property will be liable under this Lease except for breaches of Landlord’s obligations occurring while it is owner of the Property. The obligations of Landlord will be binding upon the assets of Landlord which comprise the Property but not upon other assets of Landlord. No individual Representative will be personally liable under this Lease or any other instrument, transaction or undertaking contemplated hereby.
Tenant will give written notice of any failure by Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any Mortgage encumbering the Property whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure such nonperformance within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice or such longer period as may be required to diligently complete such matter. If Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) cannot perform any of its obligations due to events beyond its reasonable control, the time provided for performing such obligations will be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of such events. Events beyond Landlord’s reasonable control include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, civil commotion, labor disputes, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine restrictions and recommendations, moratoriums, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty or weather conditions, shortages of labor or material, and Legal Requirements.
If Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, (i) Tenant will indemnify Landlord against all damages, costs, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Landlord incurs on account of Tenant’s failure to vacate and (ii) the Base Rent will increase to 400% of the Base Rent then in effect; and Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent will continue. Any holdover by Tenant does not constitute an extension of the Lease or recognition by Landlord of any right of Tenant to remain in the Premises, and Tenant will be deemed a tenant at sufferance.
The exhibits and riders, if any, attached hereto, are incorporated herein by reference.
Tenant will pay Landlord its fees and expenses incurred in connection with any act by Tenant which requires Xxxxxxxx’s consent or approval under this Lease.
If Tenant defaults in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, Landlord will have the right (but is not required) to perform such obligation and, if necessary, to enter upon the Premises. All costs incurred by Landlord (together with interest at the rate of 15% per annum, but not to exceed the highest legal rate) will be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease and will be payable to Landlord immediately on demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any of its other rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
EXHIBIT 10.54
The captions of the Articles or Sections of this Lease are not a part of the terms or provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the context of this Lease, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. The masculine, feminine and neuter genders each include the other. In any provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term “Tenant” includes Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees, successors or others using the Premises with Xxxxxx’s express or implied permission. This Lease does not, and nothing contained herein, will create a partnership or other joint venture between Landlord and Tenant. A determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease or any part thereof is illegal or unenforceable will not invalidate the remainder of such provision, which will remain in full force and effect.
This Lease is the only agreement between the parties pertaining to the lease of the Premises. All amendments to this Lease must be in writing and signed by all parties. Any other attempted amendment will be void.
Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, all notices, requests and other communications required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be sent by (i) certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; (ii) telefax or electronic mail, provided that an original of such facsimile or electronic mail is also sent to the addressee by means described in clauses (i), (iii) or (iv); (iii) a national overnight delivery service which maintains delivery records; or (iv) personal delivery. Notices to Tenant shall be delivered to Tenant’s Notice Address. Notices to Landlord shall be delivered to Landlord’s Notice (and Rent Payment) Address. All notices shall be effective upon delivery (or refusal to accept delivery). Either party may change its notice address upon notice to the other party.
All waivers will be in writing and signed by the waiving party. Landlord’s failure to enforce any provision of this Lease or its acceptance of Rent is not a waiver and will not prevent Landlord from enforcing that provision or any other provision of this Lease in the future. No statement on a payment check from Tenant or in a letter accompanying a payment check will be binding on Landlord. Landlord may, with or without notice to Tenant, negotiate such check without being bound by to the conditions of such statement.
Neither party may record this Lease in the public records.
This Lease will bind any party who legally acquires any rights or interest in this Lease from Landlord or Tenant, provided that Landlord will have no obligation to Tenant’s successor unless the rights or interests of Tenant’s successor are acquired in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The laws of the State of Texas govern this Lease and exclusive venue shall be in Eastland County, Texas.
THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY(IES) AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY(IES) ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER.
This Lease may be executed in counterparts and, when all counterpart documents are executed, the counterparts will constitute a single binding instrument. Xxxxxxxx’s delivery of this Lease to Tenant is not be deemed to be an offer to lease and will not be binding upon either party until executed and delivered by both parties. This Lease may be executed or delivered by electronic or facsimile means, and copies of executed signature pages stored electronically in portable document format (.pdf) shall be binding as originals.
Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Tenant shall cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Landlord a Guaranty in the form set forth on Exhibit “E” attached hereto.
All representations and warranties of Landlord and Tenant, Xxxxxx’s indemnity under Section 6.04, the provisions of Section 8.02 and all obligations of Tenant to pay Additional Rent hereunder, shall survive the termination of this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that no brokers are owed a commission or fee with respect to this Lease or the Premises. Landlord and Tenant each agree to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any claim, demand, cost or liability, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, asserted by any broker based upon dealings with that broker.
In any enforcement proceeding brought by either party with respect to this Lease, the nonprevailing party will pay to the prevailing party in such proceeding all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by such other party with respect to said proceeding and any appeals therefrom.

GUARANTY
THIS GUARANTY is executed as of October 20th, 2022, by ProFrac Holdings II, LLC (“Guarantor”) to Xxxxx Ranch Texas, LTD, a Texas limited partnership (“Landlord”).
WHEREAS, as an inducement to Landlord to enter into that certain Industrial Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) dated November 1, 2022, by and between Landlord and ProFrac Holdings II, LLC (“Tenant”), wherein Landlord has agreed to lease to Tenant, and Tenant has agreed to lease from Landlord, certain premises containing approximately 39.99 Acres and 29,100 square feet more particularly described therein and located at 00000 XX 00, Xxxxx, XX. 00000 (the “Premises”);
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxxx is not willing to lease the Premises to Tenant unless Guarantor unconditionally guarantees payment and performance of all obligations of Tenant to Landlord arising under or in connection with the Lease, including without limitation, any
EXHIBIT 10.54
and all obligations of Tenant arising under any modification, amendment, extension and/or expansion of the Lease (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”); and
WHEREAS, Guarantor will directly benefit from Landlord’s lease of the Premises to Tenant;
NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Landlord to enter into the Lease and to lease the Premises to Tenant thereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
1. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Landlord and its successors and assigns the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that he is and shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid or performed when due, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Landlord, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Landlord. It shall not be necessary for Landlord (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Landlord), in order to enforce such payment by Guarantor, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Tenant or others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (ii) enforce Landlord’s rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) join Tenant or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (iv) exhaust any remedies available to Landlord against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations, or (v) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor agrees that Landlord, in its discretion, may (i) bring suit against Guarantor and any other endorser, guarantor, or surety of the Guaranteed Obligations jointly and severally or against any one or more of them, in either case with or without the joinder of Tenant, and (ii) compound or settle with the Tenant or any other endorser, guaranty or surety for such consideration as Landlord may deem proper. Guarantor shall not be subrogated to any of the rights of the Landlord under the Lease or in or to the Premises or any other rights of the Landlord, by reason of any of the provisions of this instrument or by reason of the payment or performance by Guarantor of any of the Tenant’s liabilities or obligations under the Lease, and Guarantor will look solely to the Tenant for recoupment.
2. Guarantor hereby waives notice of (i) acceptance of this Guaranty, protest, demand and dishonor, proof of non-payment or default by Tenant, and all other demands of any kind now or hereafter provided for by any statute or rule of law, (ii) any amendment or extension of the Lease or of any other instrument or document pertaining to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) the occurrence of any breach by Tenant or event of default, and (iv) all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Lease, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations hereby guaranteed. Guarantor hereby expressly waives the provisions of: (a) Sections 34.02 and 34.03 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code; (b) Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code; and (c) Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure (herein collectively called “Laws”), to the extent such Laws (or any of them) are applicable to this Guaranty or the liability or obligation of Guarantor hereunder.
3. Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s obligations and liability under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including, without limitation, rights to notice) which Guarantor might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following: any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lease, including without limitation, any sublease or assignment by Tenant; the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, death, disability, dissolution or lack of power of Tenant, Guarantor or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Tenant or Guarantor, or any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of Tenant or Guarantor; the invalidity, illegality, cessation or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever; any full or partial release of the liability of Tenant on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or of any co guarantors; the reorganization, merger or consolidation of Tenant into or with any other corporation or entity; or any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Lease, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof.
4. Guarantor represents and warrants to Landlord that: (i) Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations, and the value of the consideration received and to be received by Guarantor is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligations of Guarantor hereunder; (ii) Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding the financial condition of the Tenant and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty; (iii) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor to Landlord, and is fully enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms: (iv) all balance sheets, net worth statements, financial statements and reports, and other financial data which have heretofore been given to Landlord with respect to Guarantor and Tenant fairly and accurately present the financial condition of Guarantor and Tenant as of the date thereof, and, since the date thereof, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Guarantor or Tenant; (v) there are no legal or arbitration proceedings, material claims, or demands pending against, or to the knowledge of Guarantor threatened against Guarantor or Tenant or any of the assets or properties of Guarantor or Tenant; (vi) Guarantor is not in breach or default of any legal requirement applicable to Guarantor; and (vii) no event (including, specifically, Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty)
EXHIBIT 10.54
has occurred which, with the lapse of time or action by a third party (or both), could result in Guarantor’s breach or default under any agreement binding upon Guarantor.
5. Guarantor agrees with Landlord that: (i) Guarantor will, from time to time, within ten (10) days following request by Landlord, execute and deliver to such persons as Landlord shall request a statement in recordable form certifying that this Guaranty is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified) and further stating such other matters as Landlord shall reasonably require; (ii) Guarantor shall, upon demand from Landlord, deliver to Landlord from time to time, within ten (10) business days following request, a balance sheet and financial statement of Guarantor as of a date not more than ninety (90) days prior to the first day of the month during which said request is made, duly certified by Guarantor to accurately present the financial position of Guarantor as of the date of such balance sheet; (iii) in the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Landlord, pay Landlord all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Landlord’s rights hereunder; (iv) Guarantor will not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial part of Guarantor’s assets, or otherwise make any transfer with respect to Guarantor’s assets which would adversely affect the ability of Guarantor to perform each of its obligations under this Guaranty; (v) in the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Landlord must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Landlord in satisfaction of the guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Landlord shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Landlord and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance; and (vi) until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid and satisfied in full and Guarantor shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder, the Guarantor Claims shall be subject and subordinate to the Guaranteed Obligations. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Tenant to Guarantor.
6. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Landlord, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Landlord hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty. This Guaranty embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof, and this Guaranty may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by an authorized officer of the party against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives; provided, however, that Guarantor may not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder.
7. This Guaranty has been prepared, is intended to be performed in the State of Texas and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas located in Eastland County, Texas.
