ARTICLE 1
LEASE OF PREMISES AND LEASE TERM
LEASE OF PREMISES AND LEASE TERM
1.1 Premises. In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Lease and
other good and valuable consideration, Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases
the Premises from Landlord, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Lease. The approximate sizes of the Premises and Building are set forth in the Basic Terms.
Pending measurement as provided below, those figures will be used for determining Rent. Prior to
or upon Substantial Completion, Landlord’s architect will measure the Premises and the Building.
The Premises will be measured from the exterior surface walls to the centerline of all walls
common to the premises of other tenants in the Building. The Building will be measured from the
exterior surface of all exterior walls of the Building. The square footages so determined will
be specified in the Commencement Date Memorandum executed as provided in Section 1.2. Landlord
and Tenant agree that such measurement by Landlord’s architect will conclusively establish the
size of the Premises and the Building for determining Rent and for all other purposes under this
Lease.
1.2 Term; Commencement. The Term of this Lease is the period stated in the Basic Terms.
The Term commences on the Commencement Date and expires at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of
the last
calendar month of the Term. Landlord will tender possession of the Premises to Tenant upon
Substantial
Completion of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to Article 17. Promptly after the
Commencement Date,
Landlord and Tenant will execute a “Commencement Date Memorandum” in substantially the
form of EXHIBIT “D” to this Lease.
1.3 Extension of Term. Provided that no Event of Default exists at the time of exercise,
Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one period of five years. Tenant must
exercise such right
of extension by delivering written notice of Tenant’s exercise at least 9, but not more
than 12, months
prior to the expiration of the Term. The extension of the Term will be on the same terms,
covenants and
conditions as in this Lease, other than Basic Rent. Basic Rent for the extension period
will be the fair
market rental rate(s) for the extension period, determined in relation to comparable (in
quality, location
and size) space located in the Building and/or in the greater Scottsdale metropolitan area
(“Fair Market
Basic Rent”). Landlord will reasonably determine such Fair Market Basic Rent and deliver
Landlord’s
determination to Tenant at least 8 months prior to the expiration of the Term. In no event
will the Fair
Market Basic Rent for the extension of the Term be less than the Basic Rent (exclusive of
temporary
abatements) payable by Tenant for the Lease Year immediately prior to commencement of the
extension
period. The extension rights are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or transferred
in any
manner except in connection with an approved Transfer under Article 13.
1.3.1 Selection of Fair Market Basic Rent. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s
determination of Fair Market Basic Rent for an extension of the Term, Tenant will deliver notice of
such dispute, together with Tenant’s proposed Fair Market Basic Rent, to Landlord within five days
of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s determination. The parties will then attempt in good faith to
agree upon the Fair Market Basic Rent. If the parties fail to agree within 15 days, then either
party shall be entitled to give notice to the other electing to have the Fair Market Basic Rent
selected by an appraiser as provided in this Section 1.3.1. Upon delivery and receipt of such
notice, the parties will within seven days thereafter mutually appoint an appraiser who will select
(in the manner set forth below) the Fair Market Basic Rent (the “Deciding Appraiser”). The Deciding
Appraiser must have at least five years of full-time commercial appraisal experience with projects
comparable to the Property and be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or a
similar appraisal association. The Deciding Appraiser may not have any material financial or
business interest in common with either of the parties. If Landlord and Tenant are not able to
agree upon a Deciding Appraiser within such seven days, each party will within five days thereafter
separately select an appraiser meeting the criteria set forth above, which two appraisers will,
within seven days of their selection, mutually appoint a third appraiser meeting the criteria set
forth above to be the Deciding Appraiser. Within seven days of the appointment (by either method)
of the Deciding Appraiser, Landlord and Tenant will submit to the Deciding Appraiser their
respective determinations of Fair Market Basic Rent and any related information. Within 21 days of
such appointment of the Deciding Appraiser, the Deciding Appraiser will review each party’s
submittal (and such other information as the Deciding Appraiser deems necessary) and will select,
in total and without modification, the submittal presented by either Landlord or Tenant as the Fair
Market Basic Rent; provided, however, that in no event will Fair Market Basic Rent [the Basic Rent]
for an extension of the Term be less than the Basic Rent (exclusive of temporary abatements)
payable by Tenant immediately prior to commencement of the applicable extension period. Subject to
the previous sentence, if the Deciding Appraiser timely receives one party’s submittal, but not
both, the Deciding Appraiser must designate the submitted proposal as the Fair Market Basic Rent
for the applicable extension of the Term. Any determination of Fair Market Basic Rent made by the
Deciding Appraiser in violation of the provisions of this Section 1.3.1 shall be beyond the scope
of authority of the Deciding Appraiser and shall be null and void. If the determination of Fair
Market Basic Rent is made by a Deciding Appraiser, Landlord and Tenant will each pay, directly to
the Deciding Appraiser, one-half (1/2) of all fees, costs and expenses of the Deciding Appraiser.
Landlord and Tenant will each separately pay all costs, fees and expenses of their respective
additional appraiser (if any) used to determine the Deciding Appraiser.
1.4 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant pays all Rent as and when due and keeps, observes
and fully satisfies all other covenants, obligations and agreements of Tenant under this Lease,
Landlord covenants and agrees that, from and after the Commencement Date, Tenant may quietly
hold,
3
occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease,
free from molestation or hindrance by Landlord or any person claiming by, through or under
Landlord.
1.5 Common Area. Tenant will have the non-exclusive right, together with the other occupants
and users of the Property, to use the Common Area during the Term. Such right to use the Common
Area is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation
all Property Rules and other Laws.
ARTICLE 2
RENTAL AND OTHER PAYMENTS
RENTAL AND OTHER PAYMENTS
2.1 Basic Rent. Tenant will pay Basic Rent in monthly installments to Landlord, in advance,
beginning on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of each and every calendar
month during the Term. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments to the Rent Payment Address
specified in the Basic Terms or at such other place or in such other manner as Landlord may from
time to time designate in writing. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments without offset or
deduction and without any previous demand, invoice or notice for payment. Landlord will prorate,
on a per diem basis, Basic Rent for any partial month within the Term. An amount equal to one full
month of Basic Rent at the initial rate specified in the Basic Terms will be paid to Landlord by
Tenant upon execution of this Lease by Tenant, to be applied against the first installment of
Basic Rent by Landlord when due.
2.2 Additional Rent. Article 3 of this Lease requires Tenant to pay Tenant’s Share of
Property Expenses as Additional Rent pursuant to estimates Landlord delivers to Tenant. Tenant
will make all such payments in accordance with Section 3.3 without offset or deduction and without
any previous demand, invoice or notice for payment. Tenant will pay all other Additional Rent
described in this Lease within 30 days after receiving Landlord’s invoice for such Additional
Rent. Tenant will make all Additional Rent payments to the same location and, except as described
in the previous sentence, in the same manner as Basic Rent payments.
2.3 Delinquent Rental Payments. If Landlord does not receive any payment of Basic Rent or
Additional Rent within three days after the date the payment is due, Tenant will pay Landlord a
late payment charge equal to five percent of the amount of the delinquent payment. Further, if
Landlord does not receive any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent within 30 days after the
date the payment is due, Tenant will pay Landlord interest on the delinquent payment calculated at
the Maximum Rate from the date the payment is due through the date the payment is received by
Landlord. The parties agree that such amounts represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the
damages Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. Such charges will be considered
Additional Rent and Landlord’s right to such compensation for the delinquency is in addition to
all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity.
2.4 No Accord and Satisfaction. No statement on a payment check from Tenant or in a letter
accompanying a payment check is binding on Landlord. Landlord may, with or without notice to
Tenant, negotiate such check without being bound to the conditions of any such statement. No
acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any breach or default by
Tenant constitutes a waiver of any such breach or default. If Tenant pays any amount other than
the actual amount due Landlord, receipt or collection of such partial payment does not constitute
an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may retain any such partial payment, whether restrictively
endorsed or otherwise, without prejudice to Landlord’s right to collect the balance properly due.
If all or any portion of any payment is dishonored for any reason, payment will not be deemed
made until the entire amount due is actually collected by Landlord. The foregoing provisions
apply in kind to the receipt or collection of any amount by a lock box agent or other person on
Landlord’s behalf.
2.5 Rent Tax. Tenant will pay to Landlord all Rent Tax (if any) due in connection with this
Lease or the payment of Rent hereunder, which Rent Tax will be paid by Tenant to Landlord
concurrently with each payment of Rent made by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.
ARTICLE 3
PROPERTY EXPENSES
PROPERTY EXPENSES
3.1 Payment of Property Expenses. Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent and in the manner
this Article 3 describes, Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for each calendar year of the
Term. If the Term includes any partial calendar years, or Tenant is otherwise required under
this Lease to pay Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for only part of a full calendar year,
Landlord will appropriately prorate Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for such partial
calendar year on a per diem basis based on the number of days within such partial calendar year.
3.2 Estimation of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses. Landlord will deliver to Tenant a
written estimate of the following for each calendar year of the Term: (a) Property Expenses, (b)
Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses, and (c) the annual and monthly Additional Rent attributable
to Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses. Landlord may re-estimate Property Expenses from time to
time during the Term. In such event, Landlord will revise the monthly Additional Rent
attributable to Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses to an amount sufficient for Tenant to pay
the re-estimated amount over the balance of the calendar year. Landlord will notify Tenant at
least 30 days prior to the effective date of any such reestimate.
4
3.3 Payment of Estimated Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses. Tenant will pay the amount
Landlord estimates as Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses under Section 3.2 in equal monthly
installments, in advance, beginning on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of
each and every calendar month during the Term. If Landlord has not delivered a new estimate to
Tenant by the first day of January of the applicable calendar year, Tenant will continue paying
Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses based on Landlord’s estimates for the previous calendar year.
When Tenant receives Landlord’s estimates for the current calendar year, Tenant will pay the
estimated amount for such calendar year (less amounts Tenant paid to Landlord in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence) in equal monthly installments over the balance of such
calendar year, with the number of installments being equal to the number of full calendar months
remaining in such calendar year.
3.4 Confirmation of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses. After the end of each calendar
year within the Term, Landlord will determine the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of Property
Expenses for the expired calendar year and deliver to Tenant a written statement of such amount.
If Tenant paid less than the amount of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses specified in the
statement, Tenant will pay the difference to Landlord as Additional Rent. If Tenant paid more
than the amount of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses specified in the statement, Landlord
will, at Landlord’s option, either (a) refund the excess amount to Tenant, or (b) credit the
excess amount against Tenant’s next due monthly installment or installments of estimated
Additional Rent. If Landlord is delayed in delivering such statement to Tenant, such delay does
not constitute a waiver of either party’s rights under this Section.
3.5 Tenant’s Inspection and Audit Rights. If Tenant desires to audit Landlord’s
determination of the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for any calendar
year, Tenant
must deliver to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s election to audit within 60 days after
Landlord’s
delivery of the statement of such amount under Section 3.4. If such notice is timely
delivered, and
provided that no Event of Default then exists under this Lease, Tenant (but not any
subtenant or
assignee) may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause a certified public accountant
reasonably
acceptable to Landlord to audit Landlord’s records relating to such amounts on a
non-contingent basis.
Such audit will take place during regular business hours at a time and place reasonably
acceptable to
Landlord (which may be the location where Landlord or Property Manager maintains the
applicable
records). Tenant’s election to audit (Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Share of Property
Expenses is
deemed withdrawn unless Tenant completes and delivers the audit report to Landlord within 90
days after
the date Tenant delivers its notice of election to audit to Landlord under this Section. If
the audit report
shows that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses was
greater
than the amount this Article 3 obligates Tenant to pay, unless Landlord reasonably contests
the audit,
Landlord will refund the excess amount to Tenant, together with interest on the excess
amount (computed
at 10% per annum from the date Tenant delivers its dispute notice to Landlord), within 30
days after
Landlord receives a copy of the audit report. If the audit report shows that the amount
Landlord charged
Tenant for Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses was less than the amount this Article 3
obligates Tenant
to pay, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the difference between the amount
Tenant paid
and the amount determined in the audit. Pending resolution of any audit under this Section,
Tenant will
continue to pay to Landlord all estimated amounts of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses in
accordance
with Section 3.3. Tenant must keep all information it obtains in any audit strictly
confidential and may only
use such information for the limited purpose this Section describes and for Tenant’s own
account.
3.6 Adjustments to Property Expenses. If any portions of the rentable area of the Building
are not occupied at any time during any calendar year pursuant to leases under which the terms
and rents have commenced for such calendar year. Landlord may reasonably and equitably adjust
its computation of Property Expenses for that calendar year to include all components of
Property Expenses (if any) that vary based on occupancy in an amount equal to Landlord’s
reasonable estimate of the amount Tenant would have paid for such components of Property
Expenses had all of the rentable area of the Building been so occupied at all times during such
calendar year. If at any time or from time to time any components of Property Expenses relate to
(a) services or benefits that are received by Tenant but not all other tenants in the Building;
(b) costs that are incurred by Landlord on behalf of Tenant but not all other tenants in the
Building; (c) costs that are incurred by Landlord solely, or in disproportionate amounts, as a
result of Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Premises or Property as compared to other
tenants in the Building; or (d) services, benefits or costs that are otherwise received or
incurred in differing amounts by, for or as a result of Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of
the Premises or Property as compared to other tenants of the Building, then Landlord may, in
Landlord’s reasonable discretion, adjust Landlord’s computation of such components of Property
Expenses to equitably allocate such components of Property Expenses among Tenant and the other
tenants of the Building, as applicable, in amounts Landlord reasonably determines to be
proportionate to the amounts of such services, benefits and costs received by or incurred for or
as a result of Tenant and each such other tenant.
3.7 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes charged
against Tenant’s Personal Property. Tenant will use all reasonable efforts to have Tenant’s
Personal Property taxed separately from the Property. If any of Tenant’s Personal Property is
taxed with the Property. Tenant will pay the taxes attributable to Tenant’s Personal Property
to Landlord as Additional Rent.
3.8 Landlord’s Right to Contest Property Taxes. Landlord may, but is not obligated to,
contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Property Taxes. If Property Taxes
are reduced (or if a proposed increase is avoided or reduced) because Property Taxes are
contested, Landlord may
5
include in its computation of Property Taxes the costs and expenses incurred in connection with
such contest, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, up to the amount of any
Property Tax reduction obtained in connection with the contest or any Property Tax increase
avoided or reduced in connection with the contest, as the case may be. Tenant may not contest
Property Taxes.
3.9 Claim or Assessment of State Taxes.
3.9.1 Tenant will forthwith notify the Community of any claim of right by the State of
Arizona or any of its political subdivisions or municipalities to or assessment of taxes and
will forthwith send to the Community copies of all notices or other documents received by it in
connection with any such claim or assessment of taxes.
3.9.2 Tenant will make no payment of such taxes without approval of the Community and the
Master Lessor under the Ground Lease unless such payment is made under protest that there is no
right to assess or claim such taxes.
3.9.3 Tenant will cooperate in any action undertaken by the Community or the Master Lessor
under the Ground Lease in regard to any claim or assessment of such taxes and will further
cooperate with the Community and the Master Lessor in any litigation resulting from a payment
under protest as set out in Section 3.9.2 hereof. Such cooperation, however, shall not require
or subject Tenant to any additional cost or expense except those provided for under the Ground
Lease, and any such litigation shall be undertaken by and the expenses thereof shall be borne
exclusively by the Community and the Master Lessor. In addition, Tenant shall not be obligated
to be a party initiating such action or litigation brought by the Community or the Master Lessor
without its written consent thereto.
3.9.4 Nothing contained herein shall require Tenant to take any action that (i) is
inconsistent with its rights and obligations under this Lease; (ii) will subject it to any
penalty, fine or lien imposed by any taking authority; or (iii) otherwise diminish or
jeopardize its leasehold interest as provided for under this Lease.
3.9.5 For purposes of this Section 3.9, “taxes” shall mean any ad valorem taxes, including
leasehold or possessory interest taxes sought to be assessed by or collected by the State of
Arizona or any of its political subdivisions or municipalities having or claiming to have
authority by virtue of the Arizona State Constitution or laws, against the property interest in

Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, cause such liens to

INSURANCE
INSURANCE
10.1 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant will at all times during the Term (and during any earlier
entry into the Premises), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain the insurance this Section
10.1 requires.
10.1.1 Liability Insurance. Tenant will maintain commercial general liability insurance
providing coverage at least as broad as a current ISO form on an “occurrence” basis, with
minimum limits of $2,000,000 each occurrence and $5,000,000 general aggregate (which may include
umbrella coverages). Tenant’s liability insurance will (a) name the Landlord Parties and the
Landowner Parties as additional insureds with respect to all matters arising out of the
occupancy or use of the Premises or Property by Tenant; (b) be primary to any other insurance
maintained by the Landlord Parties or Landowner Parties; and (c) be placed and maintained with
companies rated at least “A/VII” by A.M. Best Insurance Service and otherwise reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. Such insurance may have a reasonable deductible but may not include
self-insured retention in excess of $25,000. If Tenant’s liability insurance is provided under a
blanket policy, the above coverage limits must be made specifically applicable to the Premises
on a “per location” basis. Tenant will deliver an XXXXX Form 27 (or equivalent) certificate or
other evidence of insurance satisfactory to Landlord (i) prior to any use or occupancy of the
Premises by Tenant, (ii) not later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any current policy or
certificate, and (iii) at such other times as Landlord may reasonably request.
10.1.2 Property Insurance. Tenant is not required by this Lease to maintain property or
business interruption insurance. Accordingly, Tenant’s Personal Property is located at the
Property at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord is not liable for any damage to or loss or
destruction of such property (except as provided in the last sentence of Section 10.3.1). Tenant
is solely responsible for providing such insurance as Tenant may desire to protect Tenant and
Tenant’s Personal Property against any Casualty or other event or occurrence in the Premises or
at the Property including, without limitation, any interruption of Tenant’s business or loss of
revenues or profits arising therefrom.
10.1.3 Other Insurance. If insurance obligations generally required of tenants in similar
space in similar buildings in the area in which the Property is located increase or otherwise
change, Landlord may similarly change Tenant’s insurance obligations under this Lease.
10.2 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord will at all times during the Term maintain the
insurance this Section 10.2 requires.
10.2.1 Property Insurance. Landlord will maintain insurance on the Property providing
coverage comparable to that provided by a standard ISO special causes of loss form property
insurance policy in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Building (less
foundation, grading and excavation costs). Landlord may, at its option, obtain such
additional coverages or endorsements as
10
Landlord deems appropriate or necessary, including, without limitation, insurance covering
foundation, grading, excavation and debris removal costs; business income and rent loss
insurance; boiler and machinery insurance; ordinance or laws coverage; earthquake insurance;
flood insurance; and other coverages. Landlord may maintain such insurance in whole or in part
under blanket policies. Such insurance will cover the Tenant Improvements after they have been
installed in the Building but will not cover or be applicable to any of Tenant’s Personal
Property.
10.2.2 Liability Insurance. Landlord will maintain commercial general liability insurance
for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage occurring at the Property in such
amounts as Landlord deems necessary or appropriate. Such liability insurance will protect only
Landlord and, at Landlord’s option, Landlord’s lender and some or all of the Landlord Parties,
and does not protect Tenant or replace or supplement the liability insurance this Lease
obligates Tenant to carry.
10.2.3
Other Insurance. If insurance coverages generally maintained by landlords of similar
space in similar buildings in the area in which the Property is located increase or otherwise
change, Landlord may similarly change the insurance coverages Landlord maintains under this
Lease.
10.3 Waivers and Releases of Claims and Subrogation.
10.3.1 Tenant’s Waiver and Release. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant,
on behalf of Tenant and its insurers, waives, releases and discharges the Landlord Parties and
the Landowner Parties from all Claims for any Casualty to the Premises, Property or Tenant’s
Personal Property, and any resulting loss of use or business interruption, regardless of the
cause even if (subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.3.1) such Casualty is caused by
the negligent or intentional acts, omissions, or misconduct of any Landlord Party. Tenant will
look only to any insurance coverage Tenant may elect to maintain (regardless whether Tenant
actually obtains any such coverage or whether such coverage is sufficient) with respect to the
Claims Tenant is waiving, releasing and discharging under this Section 10.3.1. Any property
insurance Tenant maintains must permit or include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the
Landlord Parties consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3.1. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant may claim against Landlord for any Casualty to Tenant’s Personal Property
which is caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party, but (a)
only to the extent of property damage which is not covered by insurance (or is not fully
reimbursed because of an applicable policy deductible or self-insured retention amount), and (b)
only up to a maximum of $25,000 for any single occurrence.
10.3.2 Landlord’s Waiver and Release. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws,
Landlord, on behalf of Landlord and its insurers, waives, releases and discharges the Tenant
Parties from all Claims for any Casualty to the Premises, Property or Landlord’s Personal
Property, and any resulting loss of use or business interruption, regardless of the cause even
if (subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.3.2) such Casualty is caused by the
negligent or intentional acts, omissions, or misconduct of Tenant. Landlord will look only to
any insurance coverage Landlord may elect to maintain (regardless whether Landlord actually
obtains any such coverage or whether such coverage is sufficient) with respect to the Claims
Landlord is waiving, releasing and discharging under this Section 10.3.2. Any property insurance
Landlord maintains must permit or include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Tenant Parties
consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
may claim against Tenant for any Casualty to the Premises, Property or Landlord’s Personal
Property which is caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, but (a) only
to the extent of property damage which is not covered by insurance (or is not fully reimbursed
because of an applicable policy deductible or self-insured retention amount), and (b) only up to
a maximum of $25,000 for any single occurrence.
10.3.3 Limitation on Waivers of Claims. The provisions of Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 apply
only with respect to the Landlord Parties and the Tenant Parties and do not limit or waive,
release or discharge any Claims that either Landlord or Tenant may have against any
“third-party” person or entity (including without limitation any contractor, service provider,
agent, licensee, or invitee which is not a Landlord Party or a Tenant Party) arising from any
Casualty to the Premises, Property, Tenant’s Personal Property or Landlord’s Personal Property
caused by any such third party.
10.4 Tenant’s Failure to Insure. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with evidence of
insurance as required under Section 10.1, and if such failure is not cured by Tenant within five
days of Landlord’s request therefor, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, obtain such
insurance for Landlord’s benefit without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation
contained in or default under this Lease. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all
costs and expenses Landlord reasonably incurs in obtaining such insurance.
10.5 No Limitation. Landlord’s establishment of minimum liability insurance requirements
for Tenant in this Lease is not a representation by Landlord that such limits are sufficient and
does not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease in any manner.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
11.1 Tenantable Within 270 Days. If any Casualty renders the whole or any material part of
the Premises untenantable and Landlord determines (in Landlord’s reasonable discretion) that
Landlord
11
can make the whole Premises tenantable within 270 days after the date of the Casualty, then
Landlord will notify Tenant of such determination within 60 days after the date of the Casualty.
Landlord’s notice will specify the anticipated date the Premises could be made tenantable. If
both (a) such anticipated completion date is more than 60 days after the date of Landlord’s
notice, and (b) less than 12 months will remain in the Term upon such completion date, then
either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notifying the other within 15
days after the date of Landlord’s notice, which termination will be effective 60 days after the
date of such notice of termination.
11.2 Not Tenantable Within 270 Days. If any Casualty renders the whole or any material part
of the Premises untenantable and Landlord determines (in Landlord’s reasonable discretion) that
Landlord cannot make the whole Premises tenantable within 270 days after the date of the
Casualty, then Landlord will notify Tenant of such determination within 60 days after the date
of the Casualty. Landlord’s notice will specify the anticipated date the Premises could be made
tenantable. Landlord may, in such notice, terminate this Lease effective on the date 60 days
after the date of Landlord’s notice. If Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, and provided
the Casualty was not caused by Tenant, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord
within 15 days after the date of Landlord’s notice, which termination will be effective 60 days
after the date of Tenant’s notice.
11.3 Property Substantially Damaged. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by any
Casualty (regardless whether the Premises is affected) and the damage reduces the value of the
Building by more than 50% (as Landlord reasonably determines value (absent restoration) before
and after the Casualty), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 11.1 and
11.2, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant within 60 days after the Casualty,
terminate this Lease effective on the date 60 days after the date of Landlord’s notice.
11.4 Insufficient Proceeds. If Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds
(including the amount of any policy deductible) to repair all damage to the Premises or the
Property caused by any Casualty, or if Landlord’s lender does not allow Landlord to use
sufficient proceeds to repair all such damage, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant within 60
days after the Casualty, terminate this Lease effective on the date 60 days after the date of
Landlord’s notice.
11.5
Landlord’s Repair; Rent Abatement. If this Lease is not terminated under any of
Sections 11.1 through 11.4 following a Casualty, then this Lease will remain in full force
and effect and
Landlord will repair and restore the Premises and the Property to as near their condition
prior to the
Casualty as is reasonably possible with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed.
Basic Rent
and Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for any period during which the Premises are
untenantable as
a result of the Casualty will be abated on a per diem basis; provided that if only a
portion of the Premises
is untenantable, then any such abatement will be pro rata (based upon the rentable area of
the
untenantable portion of the Premises from time to time as compared with the rentable area
of the entire
Premises) and Tenant will continue to pay Rent for any portion of the Premises which is
tenantable. In no
event is Landlord obligated to repair or restore any Alterations that have not been
previously disclosed to
and approved by Landlord, any Supplemental Equipment, or any of Tenant’s Personal Property.
Landlord will, if necessary, equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses
Percentage to account
for any reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or Building resulting from a
Casualty.
11.6 Rent Abatement If Lease Terminates. If this Lease is terminated under any of Sections
11.1 through 11.4 following any Casualty, then Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Property
Expenses for any period during which the Premises are untenantable as a result of the Casualty
will be abated on a per diem basis; provided that if only a portion of the Premises is
untenantable, then any such abatement will be pro rata (based upon the rentable area of the
untenantable portion of the Premises from time to time as compared with the rentable area of the
entire Premises) and Tenant will continue to pay Rent for any portion of the Premises which is
tenantable until this Lease terminates.
11.7 Exclusive Casualty Remedy. The provisions of this Article 11 are Tenant’s sole and
exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Casualty. To the fullest extent permitted by the
Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination
rights (by virtue of a Casualty) not specifically described in this Article 11.
11.8 Notice to Landlord. If any Casualty to any portion of the Premises or Property occurs,
Tenant will immediately provide written notice of such Casualty to Landlord. None of the
obligations of Landlord under this Article 11 will be deemed to have arisen unless and until
Landlord has received actual notice that the Casualty has occurred and has had a commercially
reasonable time within which to respond to such notice. Tenant is liable to Landlord for any
uninsured loss or other Claims Landlord incurs if (a) Tenant fails to timely report any Casualty
to the Premises or (to the extent Tenant has actual knowledge thereof) the Property or
Landlord’s Personal Property to Landlord, (b) Landlord does not otherwise have actual knowledge
of such Casualty, and (c) the failure to timely report such Casualty results in Landlord’s
property insurance carrier refusing to cover all or any portion of the loss.
ARTICLE 12
EMINENT DOMAIN
EMINENT DOMAIN
12.1 Termination of Lease. If a Condemning Authority desires to effect a Taking of all or
any material part of the Property, Landlord will notify Tenant and Landlord and Tenant will
reasonably
12
determine whether the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s intended purposes.
If Landlord and Tenant conclude that the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s
intended purposes, Landlord and Tenant will document such determination and this Lease will
terminate as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the
Property taken. Tenant will pay Rent to the date of termination. If a Condemning Authority takes
all or any material part of the Building or if a Taking reduces the value of the Property by 50%
or more (as reasonably determined by Landlord), regardless of whether the Premises is affected
and regardless whether the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s intended
purposes, then Landlord, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant prior to the date the
Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken, may terminate this
Lease effective on the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the
Property taken.
12.2 Landlord’s Repair Obligations. If this Lease does not terminate with respect to the
entire Premises under Section 12.1 and the Taking includes a portion of the Premises, this Lease
automatically terminates as to the portion of the Premises taken as of the date the Condemning
Authority takes possession of the portion taken and Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense,
restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete architectural unit with all
commercially reasonable diligence and speed and will reduce the Basic Rent for the period after
the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Premises taken to a sum
equal to the product of the Basic Rent provided for in this Lease multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the rentable area of the Premises after the Taking and after Landlord
restores the Premises to a complete architectural unit, and the denominator of which is the
rentable area of the Premises prior to the Taking. Landlord will also equitably adjust Tenant’s
Share of Property Expenses Percentage for the same period to account for the reduction in the
rentable area of the Premises or the Building resulting from the Taking. Tenant’s obligation to
pay Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses will xxxxx on a proportionate basis with
respect to that portion of the Premises remaining after the Taking that Tenant is unable to use
during Landlord’s restoration for the period of time that Tenant is unable to use such portion
of the Premises.
12.3 Tenant’s Participation. Landlord is entitled to receive and keep all damages, awards
or payments resulting from or paid on account of a Taking. Accordingly, Tenant waives and
assigns to Landlord any interest of Tenant in any such damages, awards or payments. Tenant may
prove in separate Taking proceedings and may receive a separate award for damages to or Taking
of Tenant’s Personal Property and for moving expenses; provided however, that Tenant has no
right to receive any award for its interest in this Lease or for loss of leasehold.
12.4 Exclusive Taking Remedy. The provisions of this Article 12 are Tenant’s sole and
exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Taking. To the fullest extent permitted by the
Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination
rights or any right to receive any payment or award (by virtue of a Taking) not specifically
described in this Article 12.
ARTICLE 13
TRANSFERS
TRANSFERS
13.1 Restriction on Transfers. Except as provided in Section 13.5, Tenant will not cause
or allow a Transfer without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld, provided that Landlord may elect to recapture any portion of the
Premises that would be affected by such Transfer as provided in Section 1.1. Tenant’s request
for consent to a Transfer must describe in detail the parties, terms, portion of the Premises,
and other circumstances involved in the proposed Transfer. Landlord will notify Tenant of
Landlord’s election to consent, withhold consent or recapture within 30 days of Landlord’s
receipt of such a written request for consent to the Transfer from Tenant. Tenant will provide
Landlord with any additional information Landlord reasonably requests regarding the proposed
Transfer or the proposed transferee. No Transfer releases Tenant from any liability or
obligation under this Lease and Tenant remains liable to Landlord after such a Transfer as a
principal and not as a surety. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant will pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, 50% of any amount Tenant receives on account of the Transfer (net
of Tenant’s reasonable, documented out-of-pocket leasing costs and commissions incurred in
connection with the Transfer) in excess of the amounts this Lease otherwise requires Tenant to
pay. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Lease is null and void and constitutes an
Event of Default under this Lease.
13.2 Recapture Right. Instead of giving or withholding consent pursuant to Section 13.1,
Landlord may, within the 30 day period provided in Section 13.1, elect by written notice to
Tenant to recapture (that is, to terminate this Lease with respect to) the Premises or, if a
proposed Transfer affects only a portion of the Premises, that portion of the Premises. If
Landlord so exercises Landlord’s recapture right, Tenant may negate such recapture by
delivering written notice to Landlord, within five days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s
recapture notice, canceling the proposed Transfer and withdrawing Tenant’s request for consent
to the Transfer. If Landlord elects to recapture some or all of the Premises as set forth
above, and Tenant does not so negate the recapture, then this Lease will terminate with respect
thereto (pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Article 16) as
of the date the Transfer would otherwise have occurred as if the Term therefor had expired on
such date.
13.3 Costs. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses
Landlord incurs in connection with any Transfer, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless whether Landlord consents to the Transfer, provided that
such costs and expenses will not exceed $2,000 per Transfer.
13
13.4 Landlord’s Consent Standards. For purposes of Section 13.1 and in addition to any
other reasonable grounds for denial, Landlord’s consent to a Transfer will be deemed reasonably
withheld if, in Landlord’s good faith judgment, any one or more of the following apply: (a) the
proposed transferee does not have the financial strength to perform the Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease; (b) the business and operations of the proposed transferee are not of
comparable quality to the business and operations being conducted by other tenants in the
Building; (c) either the proposed transferee, or any Affiliate of the proposed transferee,
occupies or is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building; (d) the proposed
transferee does not have a good business reputation; (e) the presence in the Premises of the
proposed transferee would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, impact the Building or the
Property in a negative manner; (f) if the subject space is only a portion of the Premises and
the physical subdivision of such portion is, or would render the Premises, not regular in shape
with appropriate means of ingress and egress and facilities suitable for normal renting
purposes, or is otherwise not readily divisible from the Premises; (g) the Transfer would
require Alteration to the Building or the Property to comply with applicable Laws; (h) the
transferee is a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof); or (i) an Event of Default
exists under this Lease at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed Transfer.
13.5 Transfers to Affiliates. Provided that no Event of Default exists under this Lease,
Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, assign or sublet all or a portion of this Lease or the
Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant if (a) Tenant notifies Landlord at least 30 days prior to
such Transfer; (b) Tenant delivers to Landlord, at the time of Tenant’s notice, current
financial statements of Tenant and the proposed transferee that are reasonably acceptable to
Landlord; and (c) the transferee assumes and agrees in a writing reasonably acceptable to
Landlord to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and to observe all terms and
conditions of this Lease. A Transfer to an Affiliate does not release Tenant from any liability
or obligation under this Lease. Landlord’s rights to recapture or share in any profit Tenant
receives from a Transfer do not apply to any Transfer this Section 13.5 permits.
ARTICLE 14
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
14.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following constitutes an “Event of
Default” by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the notices required by
this Section 14.1 are intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by the Laws
and are not in addition to any such requirements.
14.1.1 Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant fails to pay Basic Rent, any monthly installment of
Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses or any other Additional Rent amount as and when due
and such
failure is not cured within five days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenant’s failure
to pay Rent when due.
14.1.2 Failure
to Perform. Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant’s
nonmonetary obligations under this Lease and such breach or failure is not cured within 15
days after
Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenant’s breach or failure; provided that if Tenant is not
able through the use
of commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or failure within a 15 day period,
Tenant’s breach
or failure is not an Event of Default if Tenant commences to cure such breach or failure
within the 15 day
period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure and effects the cure within a period of
time that does not
exceed an additional 60 days after the expiration of the initial 15 day period.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant is not entitled to any cure period before a breach or failure of this
Lease becomes an
Event of Default if either (a) the same breach or failure has previously occurred at least
two times during
the prior 12 months, or (b) the breach or failure cannot be cured by Tenant.
14.1.3 Misrepresentation. The existence of any material misrepresentation or
omission in any financial statements, correspondence or other information provided to
Landlord by or on
behalf of Tenant or any Guarantor in connection with (a) Tenant’s negotiation or execution
of this Lease;
(b) Landlord’s evaluation of Tenant as a prospective tenant at the Property; (c) any
proposed or
attempted Transfer; or (d) any consent or approval Tenant requests under this Lease.
14.1.4 Insolvency. The occurrence of any one or more of the following: (a) Tenant’s
filing of a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state
or foreign
bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or Tenant’s making a
general
assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (b) the filing of an
involuntary petition
under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign
bankruptcy or
insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or the filing of a petition for
adjudication of
bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement, by or against Tenant and such filing
not being
dismissed within 60 days; (c) the entry of an order for relief under any chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code, or
under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or
hereafter enacted; (d)
the appointment of a “custodian,” as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code (or of an
equivalent
thereto under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing
or hereafter
enacted), for Tenant, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of
Tenant’s assets (or Tenant’s assets located at the Premises) or of Tenant’s interest in
this Lease; or (e)
the subjection of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or
of Tenant’s interest
in this Lease to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure. If a court of competent
jurisdiction
determines that any act described in this Section 14.1.4 does not constitute an Event of
Default, and the
court appoints a trustee to take possession of the Premises (or if Tenant remains a debtor
in possession
14
of the Premises) and such trustee or Tenant Transfers Tenant’s interest hereunder, then Landlord
is entitled to receive the same amount of Additional Rent as Landlord would be entitled to
receive if such a Transfer had occurred pursuant to Section 13.1.
14.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may at any time and
from time to time, without notice or demand and without preventing Landlord from exercising any
other right or remedy, exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
14.2.1 Termination of Tenant’s Possession/Re-entry and Reletting Right.
Terminate Tenant’s right to possess the Premises by any lawful means with or without terminating
this Lease, in which event Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to
Landlord. In such event, this Lease continues in full force and effect (except for Tenant’s
right to possess the Premises) and Tenant continues to be obligated for and must pay all Rent as
and when due under this Lease. Unless Landlord specifically states that it is terminating this
Lease, Landlord’s termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises is not to be construed
as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under
this Lease. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Landlord is not
obligated to, but may re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the
Premises. Landlord may store any property Landlord removes from the Premises in a public
warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant fails to pay the
storage charges therefor Landlord may deem such property abandoned and cause such property to be
sold or otherwise disposed of without further obligation or any accounting to Tenant. Upon such
re-entry, Landlord is not obligated to, but may relet all or any part of the Premises to a third
party or parties for Tenant’s account. Tenant is immediately liable to Landlord for all Re-entry
Costs and must pay Landlord the same within five days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant.
Landlord may relet the Premises for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term. If
Landlord relets all or any part of the Premises, Tenant remains obligated to pay all Rent when
due under this Lease; provided that Landlord will, on a monthly basis, credit any Net Rent
received for the current month against Tenant’s Rent obligation for the next succeeding month.
If the Net Rent received for any month exceeds Tenant’s Rent obligation for the succeeding
month, Landlord may retain the surplus.
14.2.2 Termination of Lease. Terminate this Lease effective on the date Landlord specifies
in Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Upon termination, Tenant will immediately surrender possession
of the Premises to Landlord as provided in Article 16. Such termination will not extinguish any
obligations that survive termination as provided elsewhere in this Lease. If Landlord terminates
this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand all
damages Landlord incurs by reason of Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, (a) all
Rent due and payable under this Lease as of the effective date of the termination; (b) any
amount necessary to compensate Landlord for any detriment proximately caused Landlord by
Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course
would likely result from Tenant’s failure to perform, including, but not limited to, any
Re-entry Costs and the unamortized amounts of any Improvement Allowance and real estate
commissions paid in connection with this Lease; (c) an amount equal to the amount by which (i)
the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of the Basic Rent for the
balance of the Term remaining after the effective date of the termination (assuming no
termination) exceeds (ii) the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of a
fair market Rent for the Premises for the same period (as Landlord reasonably determines the
fair market Rent); and (d) Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses to the extent Landlord is not
otherwise reimbursed for such Property Expenses. For purposes of this Section, Landlord will
compute present worth by utilizing a discount rate of 8% per annum. Nothing in this Section
limits or prejudices Landlord’s right to prove and obtain damages in an amount equal to the
maximum amount allowed by the Laws, regardless whether such damages are greater than the amounts
set forth in this Section.
14.2.3 Present Worth of Rent. Recover from Tenant, and Tenant will pay to Landlord on
demand, an amount equal to the sum of (a) all Rent past due (together with interest thereon at
the Maximum Rate), plus (b) the then present worth, as of the date of such recovery, of the
aggregate of the Rent and any other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease for the
then-unexpired portion of the Term. Landlord will employ a discount rate of 8% per annum to
compute present worth.
14.2.4 Other Remedies. 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. All rights and
remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more
remedies at any time or from time to time does not limit or preclude the further exercise by
Landlord of the same or any other rights or remedies at any time or from time to time.
14.3 Costs. Tenant will reimburse and compensate Landlord on demand and as Additional Rent
for any actual loss Landlord incurs in connection with, resulting from or related to any breach
or default of Tenant under this Lease, regardless of whether the breach or default constitutes
an Event of Default, and regardless of whether suit is commenced or judgment is entered. Such
loss includes all reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses (including paralegal fees, expert
fees, and other professional fees and expenses) Landlord incurs investigating, negotiating,
settling or enforcing any of Landlord’s rights or remedies or otherwise protecting Landlord’s
interests under this Lease. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord is entitled to reimbursement
of all of Landlord’s fees, expenses and damages, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and paralegal and other professional fees and expenses, Landlord incurs in
connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Tenant including, without
limitation, any proceeding under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code; by exercising and
15
advocating rights under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; by proposing a plan of
reorganization and objecting to competing plans; and by filing motions for relief from stay.
Such fees and expenses are payable on demand, or, in any event, upon assumption or rejection of
this Lease in bankruptcy.
14.4 Waiver of Re-entry Claims. Tenant waives and releases all Claims Tenant may have
resulting from Landlord’s re-entry and taking possession of the Premises pursuant to this
Article 14 by any lawful means and removing, storing or disposing of Tenant’s property as
permitted under this Lease, regardless of whether this Lease is terminated and, to the fullest
extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant releases and will indemnify, protect, defend (with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties and Landowner
Parties from and against any and all Claims arising therefrom. No such re-entry is to be
considered or construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.
14.5 Landlord’s Default. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord
breaches or fails to perform any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and the breach or
failure continues for a period of 30 days after Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of
Landlord’s breach or failure; provided that if Landlord is not able through the use of
commercially reasonable efforts to cure the breach or failure within such 30 day period,
Landlord’s breach or failure is not a default as long as Landlord commences to cure its breach
or failure within the 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.
14.6 No Waiver. No failure by either Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the performance of
any provision of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy upon a breach or default hereof
constitutes a waiver of any such breach or default. Any such waiver may be made only by a
writing signed by the party providing the waiver. One or more waivers by a party is not to be
construed as a waiver by that party of a subsequent breach or default of the same provision.

CREDITORS; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
15.1 Subordination. This Lease, all rights of Tenant in this Lease, and all interest or
estate of Tenant in the Property, is subject and subordinate to any existing or future Mortgage.
The automatic subordination to any future Mortgage provided for in this Section is expressly
conditioned upon the Mortgage holder’s agreement that as long as no Event of Default occurs
under this Lease, the holder of the Mortgage will not disturb Tenant’s rights of possession
under this Lease. Tenant will, upon request, execute and deliver to Landlord or to any other
person Landlord designates any instruments, releases or other documents reasonably required to
confirm the self-effectuating subordination of this Lease as provided in this Section to any
Mortgage. The lien of any existing or future Mortgage will not cover Tenant’s Personal Property.
Tenant will also execute and deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this
Lease and delivery thereof to Landlord, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in the form of EXHIBIT “G” attached hereto (“SNDA Agreement”). Landlord will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mortgage holder to execute the SNDA Agreement. Upon
receipt from the Mortgage holder of the executed SNDA Agreement, Landlord shall promptly provide
Tenant with a fully executed copy of the SNDA Agreement.
15.2 Attornment. If any ground lessor, the holder of any Mortgage at a foreclosure sale or
any other transferee acquires Landlord’s interest in this Lease, the Premises or the Property,
Tenant will attorn to and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease.
Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law that gives or purports to give Tenant
any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of
Landlord’s interest.
15.3 Mortgagee Protection Clause. Tenant will give the holder of any Mortgage, by
registered mail, a copy of any notice of default Tenant serves on Landlord, provided that
Landlord or the holder of the Mortgage previously notified Tenant (by way of notice of
assignment of rents and leases or otherwise) of the address of such holder. Tenant further
agrees that if Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease,
then Tenant will provide written notice of such failure to such holder and such holder will have
an additional 30 days after the later of (a) receipt of such notice, or (b) the expiration of
Landlord’s cure period, within which to cure the default. If the default cannot be cured within
that additional 30 day period, then the holder will have such additional time as may be
necessary to effect the cure if, within the 30 day period, the holder has commenced and is
diligently pursuing the cure. If Landlord, Tenant, and the holder of any Mortgage enter into any
separate agreement regarding the matters addressed in Sections 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 of this
Lease, then to the extent of any conflict between the provisions of such separate agreement and
the provisions of Section 15.1, 15.2 or 15.3 of this Lease, the provisions of such separate
agreement shall control.
15.4 Estoppel Certificates.
15.4.1 Contents. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord a written statement in form satisfactory to Landlord certifying: (a) that
this Lease (and all guaranties, if any) is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified,
and stating the modifications); (b) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (c)
the last date of payment of Rent and the time period covered by such payment; (d) whether there
are then existing any breaches or defaults by Landlord under this Lease known to Tenant, and,
if so, specifying the same; (e) specifying any existing claims or defenses in favor of Tenant
against the enforcement of this Lease (or of any guaranties); and (f) such
16
other factual statements as Landlord, any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser may
request. Tenant will deliver the statement to Landlord within 10 Business Days after Landlord’s
request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any lender, prospective lender,
investor or purchaser of all or any part of the Property and any such party may conclusively
rely upon such statement as true and correct.
15.4.2 Failure to Deliver. If Tenant does not timely deliver to Landlord the statement
referenced in Section 15.4.1, Landlord and any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser
may conclusively presume and rely that, except as otherwise represented by Landlord, (a) the
terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed; (b) this Lease has not been canceled
or terminated; (c) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance; and (d) Landlord is
not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease.: In
such event, Tenant is estopped from later contesting any inaccuracy in such presumptions.

SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER
SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER
16.1 Surrender of Premises. Tenant will surrender the Premises to Landlord at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in good order, condition and repair, reasonable
wear and tear, Casualty and Taking excepted, and will surrender all keys to the Premises to
Property Manager or to Landlord at the place then fixed for Tenant’s payment of Basic Rent or as
Landlord or Property Manager otherwise directs. Tenant will at such time remove all of Tenant’s
Personal Property from the Property and, if Landlord so requires, all specified Alterations
Tenant placed on the Property. Tenant will promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the
Property caused by such removal. Tenant will also inform Landlord of all combinations on locks,
safes and vaults, if any, that Tenant is allowed to leave at the Property. Tenant releases and
will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold
harmless Landlord from and against any Claim resulting from Tenant’s failure or delay in
surrendering the Premises in accordance with this Section, including, without limitation, any
Claim made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. All property of Tenant not removed
on or before the last day of the Term is deemed abandoned. Landlord may remove all such
abandoned property from the Property and cause its transportation and storage in a public
warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant fails to pay the
storage charges therefor Landlord may cause such property to be sold or otherwise disposed of
without further obligation or any accounting to Tenant. Landlord will not be liable for damage,
theft, misappropriation or loss of any such property or in any other manner in respect thereto.
16.2 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the Term expires
or is otherwise terminated without executing a new lease but with Landlord’s prior written
consent, then unless provided otherwise by Landlord in such written consent (a) Tenant is deemed
to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, subject to all provisions,
conditions and obligations of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, (b) Basic Rent
during the holdover period will equal 125% of the greater of the Basic Rent payable by Tenant in
the last year of the Term or Landlord’s then current basic rent for the Premises according to
Landlord’s rental rate schedule for prospective tenants, (c) Tenant will also pay Tenant’s Share
of Property Expenses and all other Additional Rent applicable to such holdover period as
described in this Lease, and (d) either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the month-to-month
tenancy at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. If Tenant remains in
possession of the Premises after the Term expires or is otherwise terminated without executing a
new lease and without Landlord’s prior written consent, then Tenant is deemed to be occupying
the Premises without claim of right (but subject to all provisions, conditions and obligations
of this Lease) and, in addition to Tenant’s liability for failing to surrender possession of the
Premises as provided in Section 16.1 and all other rights and remedies of Landlord related to
such holding over, Tenant will pay Landlord a charge for each day of occupancy after the Term in
an amount equal to 200% of the Basic Rent payable by Tenant in the last year of the Term (on a
daily basis), plus Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses and all other Additional Rent applicable
to such holdover period as described in this Lease.
ARTICLE 17
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
17.1 Base Building Improvements. Landlord will provide, as a part of the base Building and
at no cost to Tenant, the base building improvements described on the attached EXHIBIT “F”.
17.2 Tenant improvements. Landlord will cause to be constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense (subject to the Improvement Allowance), the Tenant Improvements. The Tenant
Improvements
will be designed and constructed as described in this Article 17. Contractor will be the
general contractor
for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant will pay all direct and indirect costs Landlord incurs
in connection
with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. Such costs Landlord incurs may
include,
without limitation, all costs of space planning, construction document preparation, design,
construction
drawings, general conditions, labor, materials, and other construction costs, the fees (on
an hourly basis)
of Contractor’s project manager and site superintendent for the Tenant Improvements, all
costs incurred
in connection with obtaining permits for the Tenant improvements, and a fee of 12% of the
sum of all
such direct and indirect costs for Contractor’s overhead and profit. For all purposes of
ownership,
including risk of loss thereto, the Tenant Improvements will immediately upon installation
be and remain a
part of the Building and the property of Landlord.
17
17.3 Improvement Allowance. Landlord will credit an amount, not to exceed the
Improvement Allowance, against Tenant’s obligation to pay for the design and construction
of the Tenant
Improvements. Landlord is not obligated to pay or incur any amounts that exceed the
Improvement
Allowance. If the cost of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the Improvement Allowance, Tenant
will pay
the excess to Landlord in cash as Additional Rent. Tenant will also pay, as Additional
Rent, all of
Landlord’s costs (including lost rent) resulting from Tenant Delay. If Landlord reasonably
estimates that
the cost of the Tenant improvements will exceed the Improvement Allowance, Landlord may
require Tenant to deposit such excess amount with Landlord before construction of the Tenant
Improvements begins.
17.4 Space Plan. On or before March 10, 2006, Tenant will provide Landlord with a space
plan for the Tenant Improvements. The space plan must (a) be compatible with the base building (both
aesthetically and mechanically, as reasonably determined by Landlord); (b) be adequate, in
Landlord’s
reasonable discretion, for the preparation of construction drawings and specifications for the
Tenant
Improvements; (c) show, in reasonable detail, the design and appearance of the finishing materials
to be
used in connection with installing the Tenant Improvements; (d) contain such other detail or
description as
Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to adequately outline the scope of the Tenant Improvements;
(e) conform to all applicable governing codes and ordinances;
and (f) contain all information
necessary for
construction cost estimating. All space plan drawings must be not less than 1/8” scale. Without
limiting
those general requirements, the space plan must expressly specify and include (without limitation)
all of
the following: (1) wall types and heights and insulation, if needed; (2) door types and hardware
groups;
(3) door frame types; (4) ceiling heights; (5) ceiling materials; (6) floor covering materials
and locations;
(7) all wall finishes; (8) any appliances, special systems
or equipment to be furnished as a part
of the
construction; (9) any mechanical requirements beyond that provided in the base building; (10) any
fire
protection requirements beyond that provided in the base building; (11) any plumbing
requirements; (12)
all power and data locations; (13) any power required other than building standard power
distribution; (14)
any power requirements for modular furniture; (15) any emergency power requirement; (16) any
lighting
requirements beyond that provided in the base building; (17) millwork elevations and details;
(18) specific
floor material selections and designations; and (19) specific wall material selections and
designations.
Landlord will provide building standard materials, systems and capacities if not otherwise noted.
The
space plan must also include enlarged sketch layouts for any non-standard rooms, including reflected
ceiling plans, and must state the approximate usable and rentable square footage of the Premises.
If
Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a space plan meeting the foregoing requirements by the date
set
forth above in this Section, then such delay is a Tenant Delay until such space plan is delivered to
Landlord.
17.5 Construction Drawings and Specifications. After Landlord receives Tenant’s space plan as
provided above, Landlord will provide Tenant with construction drawings and specifications for the
Tenant Improvements. Tenant will approve or disapprove (specifically describing any reasons for
disapproval) the construction drawings and specifications in writing within five Business Days
after receiving them. Any failure by Tenant to timely deliver such approval or disapproval is a
Tenant Delay until received. If Tenant disapproves the construction drawings and specifications,
Landlord will provide appropriately revised construction drawings and specifications to Tenant for
approval (or disapproval) within five Business Days on the same basis as set forth above. If the
review and approval process is not concluded (with Tenant having approved the construction
drawings and specifications) on or before April 10, 2006, then such delay is a Tenant Delay until
Tenant’s approval is received. After Tenant’s approval, Landlord will submit the construction
drawings and specifications for permits and construction bids. Tenant will not withhold any
approval except for reasonable cause and will not act in an arbitrary or capricious manner in
connection with the review, revision, approval or disapproval of the
construction drawings and
specifications. If Tenant specifies any long lead time items that would delay Substantial
Completion of the Tenant improvements, Landlord will promptly notify Tenant and Tenant will
cooperate with Landlord to select a reasonable substitute.
17.6 Changes to Construction Drawings and Specifications. Tenant will immediately notify
Landlord if Tenant desires to make any changes to the Tenant Improvements after Tenant has
approved the construction drawings and specifications. If Landlord approves the revisions,
Landlord will notify Tenant of the anticipated additional cost and delay in completing the
Tenant Improvements that would be caused by such revisions. Tenant will approve or disapprove
the increased cost and delay within five Business Days after such notice. If Tenant approves,
Landlord will prepare, and Landlord and Tenant will execute, a change order describing the
revisions and the anticipated additional cost and delay. Any delay relating to a request for
revisions or a change order is a Tenant Delay. If Landlord reasonably estimates that the change
order will cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to exceed the Improvement Allowance (or if
the cost of the Tenant Improvements already exceeds the Improvement Allowance), Landlord may
require Tenant to deposit such estimated additional cost with Landlord before the change order
work is performed.
17.7 Landlord’s Approval Rights. Landlord may withhold its approval of any space plan,
construction drawings and specifications, change orders, or other work requested by Tenant
which Landlord reasonably determines may require work which: (a) exceeds or adversely affects
the structural integrity of the Building; (b) adversely affects, or exceeds Tenant’s pro rata
capacity of, any part of the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, mechanical,
electrical, communication or other systems of the Building: (c) will increase the cost of
operation or maintenance of any of the systems of the Property; (d) does not conform to
applicable building codes or is not approved by any governmental authority with jurisdiction
over the Premises; (e) is not a building standard item or an item of equal or higher quality;
(f)
18
may detrimentally affect the uniform appearance of the Property; or (g) is reasonably
disapproved by Landlord for any other reason.
17.8
Tenant’s Representative. Tenant designates Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx as the representative of
Tenant having authority to approve the construction drawings and specifications, request or
approve any change order, give and receive all notices, consents, approvals and directions
regarding the Tenant Improvements, and to otherwise act for and bind Tenant in all matters
relating to the Tenant Improvements.
17.9 Substantial Completion. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements on or before the Delivery Date. If Landlord is
unable to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the Delivery Date for any reason, this
Lease remains in full force and effect and Landlord is not liable to Tenant for any resulting
loss or damage; provided, however, that Landlord will appropriately adjust the Commencement
Date.
17.10 Punch List. Not later than Substantial Completion, Landlord and Tenant will inspect
the Premises and develop a “punch list” of any Tenant Improvement items which were either not
properly completed or are in need of repair. Landlord will complete (or repair, as the case may
be) the items listed on the punch list with commercially reasonable diligence and speed. If
Tenant does not inspect the Premises with Landlord as reasonably requested by Landlord prior to
or upon Substantial Completion, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Premises as
delivered, subject to any punch list items Landlord develops and Tenant’s rights under Section
17.11.
17.11
Construction Warranty. Landlord warrants the Tenant Improvements against defective
workmanship and materials for a period of one year after Substantial Completion.
Landlord’s sole
obligation under this warranty is to repair or replace, as necessary, any defective item
caused by poor
workmanship or materials if Tenant delivers specific written notice of the defective item
to Landlord within
such one-year period. Landlord has no obligation to repair or replace any item after such
one-year period
expires. THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY IS GIVEN AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT AND
REMEDY OF TENANT FOR INCOMPLETE OR DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS OR
OTHER DEFECTS IN THE PREMISES, AND AS ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION FOR THIS
WARRANTY TENANT HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL OTHER CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF
ACTION AGAINST LANDLORD AND ALL LANDLORD PARTIES BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT,
TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHTS OR CLAIMS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AS A
CONSEQUENCE OF ANY DEFECTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THE BUILDING AND TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS.
17.12 Tenant Finish Work. All finish work and decoration and other work desired by Tenant
and not included within the Tenant Improvements to be performed by Landlord as set forth in the
approved construction drawings and specifications (including specifically, without limitation,
the design and installation of all computer systems, telephone systems, telecommunications
systems, removable fixtures, furnishings, and equipment) will be designed, furnished and
installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense and will not be chargeable against the Improvement
Allowance. Tenant will perform all such work in the same manner and following the same
procedures as are provided in this Lease for Alterations. Landlord is under no obligation to
perform, inspect, or supervise any such work, and Landlord shall have no liability or
responsibility whatsoever therefor.
17.13 Signs. Landlord will initially provide to Tenant (a) one building standard tenant
identification sign adjacent to the entry door of the Premises and (b) one standard building
directory listing; provided, however, that the cost of such signage will be charged against the
improvement Allowance. The signs will conform to Landlord’s sign criteria.
ARTICLE 18
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
18.1 Security Deposit. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant will
deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may use,
apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent due or
any other sum which Landlord expends by reason of Tenant’s default. Tenant is not entitled to
any interest on the Security Deposit. It is expressly agreed that the Security Deposit is not an
advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the case of Tenant’s default. Upon
application of all or any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant must upon demand restore the
Security Deposit to its original amount. No application of the Security Deposit by Landlord will
be deemed to have cured Tenant’s default. Tenant waives all provisions of Law, now or
hereinafter in force, which restrict the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon
a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to
the handling or return of security deposits. The Security Deposit will be released to Tenant
within 45 days of the surrender of the Premises to Landlord subject to any deductions made by
Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
18.2 Parking. During the Term of this Lease, Landlord licenses 13 covered Reserved Spaces
and 22 Unreserved Spaces to Tenant. Unless otherwise notified by Landlord, Tenant will pay
Landlord’s then-current fee for each such space as Additional Rent at the same time, place and
manner as Basic
19
Rent. Landlord may change its parking charges at any time on not less than 30 days prior notice
to Tenant, provided that Landlord will not change such parking charges during the initial Term.
Initially, Landlord’s parking charges will be $35 per month for each covered Reserved Space and
$0.00 per month for each Unreserved Space. Parking at the Property by Tenant is subject to the
other provisions of this Lease, including without limitation the Property Rules. In no event will
Landlord be liable for any loss, damage or theft of, to or from any vehicle at the Property.
18.3 Expanded Development. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Building may be included
within a larger, integrated real estate development including additional buildings and land.
Landlord may elect, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to operate such larger or modified development
as a unit and compute any Property Expenses under Article 3 accordingly. If Landlord does so,
then Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses will be appropriately adjusted to compare the rentable
area of the Premises to the total rentable area within such development for which expenses are
included under Article 3. Nothing herein will be deemed to require Landlord to develop or
construct any such additional buildings or to combine the Building with any other buildings.
18.4 Access to Premises Prior to Substantial Completion. So long as such entry will not
interfere with Landlord’s construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord will allow Tenant
limited access to the Building 30 days prior to Substantial Completion to begin installing
equipment, fixtures, furniture and cabling and/or to properly coordinate such work with the
construction of the Tenant Improvements. Any such use of the Building is also subject to, and
Tenant must comply with and observe, all applicable laws, all safety rules and procedures, and
all other terms and conditions of this Lease. In no event may Tenant conduct business in the
Building during such early access period.
18.5
Exterior Building Signage. Provided Tenant is able to obtain all necessary Community,
governmental and quasi-governmental approvals therefor, Tenant may, at Tenant’s expense, install
a sign on the exterior of the Building displaying Tenant’s name. Tenant must pay all annual and
other permit fees therefor, must pay all costs of maintenance thereof, must keep same in good
condition, order and repair at its sole cost and expense, must remove same prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and must repair and restore any damage to the
Building caused by such installation and/or removal. Any such sign and the display of Tenant’s
name thereon will be subject to the terms of any restrictive covenants applicable thereto and all
Laws, and will be subordinate to all building designation signs (if any). Such sign must conform
to the comprehensive sign plan prepared by Landlord and approved by the Community. Tenant may not
install such sign until it has obtained Landlord’s prior written approval as to the size,
location, design and all other aspects thereof, including the conformance thereof to such
comprehensive sign plan. When Tenant requests Landlord’s approval of such sign, Tenant will
concurrently submit to Landlord the proposed fabrication drawings thereof which will be
sufficiently detailed for Landlord to determine whether the sign complies with such comprehensive
sign plan.
18.6 Generator. Subject to obtaining (i) all necessary Community, governmental and
quasi-governmental approvals therefor and (ii) Landlord’s prior written approval of the plans,
specifications and manner of installation of same, Tenant shall be permitted to install one
backup generator (the “Generator”) to serve the Premises at one of the locations identified on
EXHIBIT “G” attached hereto. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain and repair
the Generator and keep same in good, operable condition and repair. Not less frequently than
annually, Tenant will provide to Landlord copies of all current maintenance records and permits
relating to the Generator. If Tenant fails to repair or maintain the Generator within five (5)
days after written notice thereof from Landlord, then Landlord may, but is not obligated to, make
any such maintenance or repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Generator as Additional Rent.
Tenant’s installation and maintenance of the Generator must comply with all restrictive covenants
applicable thereto and any and all applicable Laws, and must comply with all other provisions of
this Lease. Tenant will be entitled to run the Generator to provide backup power during power
outages. Any required periodic testing of the Generator will only be performed during hours other
than Business Hours. If Landlord so requires, Tenant shall remove the Generator from the Property
at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and Tenant must repair any and all damage
to the Property and/or the Building resulting from such removal. Such removal and the repair of
damage caused thereby shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
18.7 Building Compliance. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete
Landlord’s construction of the Building and Premises in compliance with (a) the applicable
building code; (b) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”); and (c) other applicable
Laws (including without limitation those Laws relating to asbestos, soil and ground water
condition), in each case as such matters in (a)—(c) are enforced, interpreted and applied to the
Property as of the Effective Date. Such compliance will be conclusively established by the
issuance of all governmental permits necessary for the initial occupancy of the Building.
18.8 Access to Premises. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant and its employees and
invitees may access the Premises and the parking areas after Business Hours in accordance with
such rules and regulations as Landlord may reasonably prescribe from time to time for security
purposes.
18.9 Fuel Storage Tanks. if required for Tenant’s operation of the generator referenced in
Section 18.6 of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install, operate,
maintain and repair
20
an underground or aboveground fuel storage tank (“Storage Tank”) in a location determined by
Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, subject to the following conditions and
obligations:
18.9.1 Installation of the Storage Tank will be deemed an Alteration (as defined in
Article 8) to the Premises and will be governed by the applicable provisions of this Lease
relating to
Alterations. Tenant will submit to Landlord, at least 20 days prior to the proposed
installation date, (i)
Tenant’s proposed plans and specifications relating to the installation, operation and use
of the Storage
Tank, and (ii) all other information required pursuant to Article 8 for such Alteration.
Tenant may not
commence any work to install a Storage Tank until it has received Landlord’s prior written
approval of all
such deliveries.
18.9.2 Tenant will comply with Landlord’s reasonable directives and all Community,
federal, state, and local Laws, regulations, rules and guidelines relating to the
installation, operation,
maintenance and repair of the Storage Tank, including, but not limited to (i) obtaining and
maintaining, or
causing to be obtained and maintained, all applicable permits required for the

maintenance and repair of the Storage Tank (ii) implementing a Spill Prevention Control
and
Countermeasures Plan (as required by Community, federal, state, or local regulations) or
best

Tank.
18.9.3 If Community, federal, state or local Laws, rules or regulations require evidence
of financial responsibility or insurance, Tenant will provide Landlord with a certificate
of insurance naming
Landlord as an additional insured under such policy, or other evidence of financial
responsibility
necessary for compliance.
18.9.4 Tenant may not use the Storage Tank for any purpose other than the use specifically
approved by Landlord and permitted under any applicable permit

termination of the Lease, Landlord may, at Tenant’s cost and expense, perform an environmental
Investigation to determine whether a release has occurred. Prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, Tenant will, if Landlord requests, remove the Storage Tank in
accordance with all applicable Laws and promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the
Property caused by the installation, operation and removal of the Storage Tank, including any
environmental remediation, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant must document the
removal of a Storage Tank with a report prepared by a qualified consultant approved by Landlord,
evidencing either no impact to soil and groundwater or that any impacted soil or groundwater has
been remediated in a manner and to a level satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.
18.9.6 Tenant will immediately report to Landlord any spill or release and any citations or
notices of violation and will provide Landlord with copies thereof. Such notification will not
relieve Tenant from its obligations to notify governmental agencies. Any cleanup or remediation
will be completed by Tenant in accordance with applicable law and in a manner and to a level
satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.
18.9.7 This provision does not modify Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises, and does not
relieve Tenant of any environmental liability under this Lease.
18.9.8 Landlord may make periodic inspections to ensure regulatory compliance and the
proper operation, maintenance and repair of the Storage Tank. Any costs incurred by Landlord in
making inspections or other costs of compliance will be charged directly to Tenant.

and against all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, damages, costs, penalties, forfeitures,
losses or expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, and reasonable attorneys fees
incurred by Landlord in connection with the foregoing or in enforcing Tenant’s obligations under

such obligations, and (b) the transferor delivers or credits to the transferee any funds the

attached to this Lease are incorporated into and made a part of this Lease as though fully set
forth in this Lease and together with this Lease contain the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the improvement and leasing of the Premises. All prior and
contemporaneous negotiations, including, without limitation, any letters of intent or other
proposals and any drafts and related correspondence, are merged into and superseded by this
Lease. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease (other than to the
Property Rules) is binding on Landlord or Tenant unless it is in writing and signed by the party
against whom its enforcement is sought.
19.7 Severability. If any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement of this Lease

(including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenditures) from the
non-prevailing party.

not had any dealings with any realtors, brokers, finders or agents in connection with this Lease
(except as may be specifically set forth herein) and each releases and agrees to indemnify the
other from and against any Claims based on the failure or alleged failure to pay any realtors,
brokers, finders or agents (other than any brokers specified herein) and from any cost, expense
or liability for any compensation, commission or charges claimed by any realtors, brokers,

or reason whatsoever) and regardless whether insured or insurable. Nothing in this Section,

Landlord which is expressly set forth in this Lease; or (B) with respect to any remedy of
Tenant which is expressly set forth in this Lease.

county; Landlord and Tenant waive the right to bring suit against each other elsewhere. The
parties acknowledge and agree that the Premises are located on federal Indian trust lands
within the territorial jurisdiction of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.13, as between Tenant and the
Community and/or the Master Lessor, disputes under this Lease shall be governed pursuant to the
provisions of the Ground Lease.
