The term of this Lease as set forth above is sometimes referred to as “Initial Term.” If the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the Initial Term shall run for the number of years set forth above from the first day of the calendar month following the Commencement Date.

The Demised Premises shall have no other purpose without the specific advance written consent of Landlord and then only for the use consented to by Landlord and upon compliance with any and all conditions upon which Landlord, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive discretion, specifies must be complied with as a condition to Landlord’s consent contained in or made a specific part of Landlord’s consent. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Demised Premises, or knowingly permit them to be used or occupied, in a manner or for a purpose contrary to any statute, rule, order, ordinance, requirement or regulation applicable thereto, or in any manner which would violate the certificate of occupancy affecting the same, or which would cause structural injury to the improvements or cause the value or usefulness of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof; substantially to diminish (reasonable wear and tear excepted), or that would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste, or that will create any liability, cost, expense or obligation upon Landlord for any clean-up, removal, disposal or other action in relation to any chemical substance or material that is or could be under statutes, rules or regulations considered “Hazardous Waste.” Tenant agrees that it will promptly, upon discovery of any such use, take all necessary steps to compel the discontinuance of such use.

ARTICLE II

Section 2.1 Landlord shall make improvements to the Demised Premises for Tenant’s intended use (the “Improvements”). Tenant shall provide to Landlord for its approval, at its sole cost and expense, plans and specifications for the Improvements (the “Plans and Specifications”). Landlord shall have ten (10) days to review and approve the Plans and Specifications after receipt thereof from Tenant. In the event Landlord shall not inform Tenant of its approval of the Plans and Specification within said ten (10) day period, the Plans and Specifications shall be deemed approved as submitted.

Section 2.3 Landlord shall diligently proceed with the construction of the Improvements and complete the Improvements no later than March 31, 2011 (the “Construction Completion Date”); provided, however, that if delay is caused or contributed to by any act or neglect of Tenant or those acting for or under Tenant, or labor disputes, casualties, acts of God or the public enemy, governmental embargo restrictions, action or nonaction of public utilities or of local, state of federal governments affecting the work, or other causes beyond Landlord’s control, then the time of completion of said construction shall be extended for the additional time caused by such delay. Delay in completing the Improvements shall not serve to extend the term of this Lease Agreement or to make Landlord liable for consequential damages arising therefrom.

Section 2.4 Tenant shall be allowed to install its fixtures, equipment and other personal property, if any, during the final stages of completion of the Improvements so long as Tenant does not unreasonably interfere with the completion of construction or occasion any labor dispute as a result of its work.

BASE RENT

Section 3.1 In consideration of the leasing of the Demised Premises, and in consideration of the Improvements to be constructed pursuant to Article II hereof, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, at Landlord’s office or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, an annual Base Rent, payable in advance in equal monthly installments, during the Initial Term, calculated as follows:

3.1.1 Rent. No later than the first day of each month during the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord rent in the amount of Eighteen Thousand Fifty-Nine and  38/100 Dollars ($18,059.38) per month (the “Base Rent”), subject to the adjustment in the next sentence.

3.1.2 Bank Loan Payments. Beginning on December 15, 2010 and continuing on the 15th day of each month thereafter until the Bank Loan is paid in full, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the monthly Bank Loan Payments, as additional rent, in the amount of the next Bank Loan Payment due to the Bank as set forth on the Bank Loan Amortization Schedule. Tenant’s obligation to pay the Bank Loan Payments, as additional rent, shall cease when the Bank Loan is paid in full. No later than five (5) business days following the closing of the Bank Loan, the Landlord will deliver to Tenant an amortization schedule (the “Bank Loan Amortization Schedule”), which shall set forth the Bank Loan Payments. The Bank Loan Amortization Schedule is incorporated into this Lease as Exhibit “E” hereto and may be updated by Landlord, in its discretion, to reflect changes in the Bank Loan Payments.

3.1.3 Taxes and Assessments. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Five Thousand Three Hundred Three and  24/100 Dollars ($5,303.24) per month for Taxes and Assessments, as more particularly described in and subject to adjustment in accordance with Article IV of this Lease.

3.1.4 Loan Origination and Other Fees. Tenant shall also pay, as additional rent, any fees or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the granting of the Loans, which shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent on a monthly basis as such costs are incurred by Landlord.

For the avoidance of doubt, the term Base Rent, as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease, shall mean and include the following: (a) Rent as set forth in Section 3.1.1 hereof; (b) the Bank Loan Payments as set forth in Section 3.1.2 hereof; (c) Taxes and Assessments as set forth in Section 3.1.3 hereof; and (d) the Loan Origination and Other Fees as set forth in Section 3.1.4 hereof. Any installment of Base Rent accruing under the provisions of this Lease Agreement that is not be paid within five (5) days after the date when due shall bear interest at the Lease Interest Rate from the date when the same is due hereunder until the same shall be paid. The Base Rent due from the Tenant during any Extended Term shall be calculated in the manner set forth in Article XXI, Section 21.3 hereof.

Section 3.2 As a condition to the entry of this Lease, the Tenant will enter into the City of Coon Rapids Loans under terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Landlord and the Bank and shall cause the City to subordinate its respective interests under the City of Coon Rapids Loans to the Bank Loan. During the term of this Lease and until the City of Coon Rapids Loans are paid in full, Tenant shall pay all of the City of Coon Rapids Loan Payments when due and shall transmit a copy or confirmation of each such payment to Landlord within three (3) days of each such payment. In addition, Tenant shall provide to Landlord no later than December 31st of each calendar year during the Term a compliance certificate, certified by the president of the Tenant, that (i) it has timely paid the City of Coon Rapids Loan Payments and complied with its other obligations under the City of Coon Rapids Loans; (ii) that it is in compliance with any covenants of the City of Coon Rapids Loans; and (iii) that it is not in default under the City of Coon Rapids Loans (the “Compliance Certificate”). Any failure on the part of Tenant to timely pay the City of Coon Rapids Loan Payments or provide the Compliance Certificate shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. Upon such Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, pay such portion of the City of Coon Rapids Loan Payments that are past due and such amounts, when paid, shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent. Furthermore, if Tenant is in default under either of the City of Coon Rapids Loans or if an event occurs under which the City exercises its rights under its mortgages against the Demised Premises (each an “Indemnifiable Event”), the Tenant shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord and the Bank and their respective employees, officers, governors, directors, equityholders, representatives, agents,

successors and assigns (each an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, expenses, costs and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Damages”), which any Indemnified Party may sustain or become subject to as a result of an Indemnifiable Event. The indemnification obligations of Tenant set forth in this Section 3.2 are in addition to those indemnification obligations of Tenant set forth in Section 18.3.

ARTICLE IV

TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS

Section 4.1 Tenant covenants and agrees to pay monthly, as part of Rent, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment thereof, one-twelfth ( 1/12th) of all annual installments of real estate taxes and special assessments payable during the term of this Lease Agreement, including water rates and charges, sewer rates and charges including any sums payable for present or future sewer or water capacity, excises, levies, license and permit fees, charges for public utilities, other governmental charges, and all other charges or burdens of whatsoever kind and nature, without particularizing by any known name or by whatever name hereafter called, and whether any of the foregoing be general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever including, but not limited to, assessments for public improvements or benefits that shall, during the term hereby demised, be assessed, levied or imposed upon, or become payable and a lien upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof (all of which taxes, assessments, water rates and charges, sewer rates and charges, excises, levies, licenses and permits and other governmental charges are hereinafter referred to as “Taxes and Assessments”); provided, however, that if, by law, any special assessment is payable or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such assessment), Tenant shall only be required to pay the same, together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such assessment, in installments as the same respectively become payable and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment. Provided further that Tenant shall be responsible for any and all of said Taxes and Assessment payable in the year 2010 and in subsequent years, to and including the last year of the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, it is the intent of Landlord and Tenant that after delivery of the Demised Premises to Tenant, this is a Net Lease and Tenant shall be responsible for payment of Taxes and Assessments as defined herein.

Section 4.2 Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Taxes or Assessments by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, but only after making its monthly payments of such Taxes and Assessments, unless such payment, or a payment thereof under protest, would operate as a bar to such contest or interfere materially with the prosecution thereof; in which event, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1 thereof; Tenant may postpone or defer payment of such Taxes or Assessments if (i) neither the Demised Premises nor any part thereof would, by reason of such postponement or deferment, be in danger of being forfeited or lost, and (ii) Tenant shall have deposited cash or a Certificate of Deposit equal to one and one-half times the amount of the Real Estate Taxes or Assessments so contested, including interest, penalties and actual attorneys’ fees, and all charges that are assessed against or become a charge on the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, during the pendency of any such proceeding. Said cash or Certificate of Deposit in said amounts shall be payable to Landlord and shall be issued by a national bank, federal savings and loan association or federal savings bank approved by Landlord.

If, during the continuance of such proceedings, Landlord shall, from time to time, reasonably deem the amount deposited as aforesaid to be insufficient, Tenant shall, upon demand of Landlord, make deposits of such additional sums of money or Certificates of Deposit as Landlord may reasonably request. Upon failure of Tenant to make such additional deposits, the amount theretofore deposited may be applied by Landlord to the payment, removal and discharge of such Taxes and Assessments, and the interest and penalties in connection therewith, and any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees) and other liability accruing in any such proceedings.

 

7


Upon the termination of any such proceedings, Tenant shall pay the amount of such Taxes or Assessments or part hereof, if any, as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees), interest, penalties and other liability in connection therewith, and upon such payment Landlord shall return all amounts or Certificates deposited with it with respect to the contest of such Taxes or Assessments, as aforesaid, or, at the written direction of Tenant, Landlord shall make such payment out of the funds on deposit with Landlord and the balance, if any, shall be returned to Tenant. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any Taxes or Assessments and penalties and interest thereon received by Landlord which have been paid by Tenant, or which have been paid by Landlord but for which Landlord has been previously reimbursed in full by Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to in Section 4.2 unless the provision of any law, rule or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord, in which event Landlord shall join in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in Landlord’s name upon compliance with such conditions as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall not ultimately be subject to any liability for the payment of any fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), costs or expenses in connection with such proceedings. Tenant agrees to pay all such fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), costs and expenses or, on demand, to make reimbursement to Landlord for such payment. During the time when any such Certificate of Deposit is on deposit with Landlord, and prior to the time when the same is returned to Tenant or applied against the payment, removal or discharge of any Taxes or Assessments, as above provided, Tenant shall be entitled to receive all interest paid thereon. Cash deposits shall not bear interest.

Section 4.3 If, at any time during the term of this Lease Agreement, under the laws of the United States or of the State of Minnesota, or any political subdivision thereof in which the Demised Premises are situated, a tax or excise on rents or other tax, however described (including but not limited to any gross receipts tax), is levied or assessed by the United States or by said State or political subdivision against Landlord or the annual or monthly rent expressly reserved under this Lease Agreement, Tenant covenants to pay and discharge such tax or excise on rents, or other tax, but only to the extent of the amount thereof which is lawfully assessed or imposed upon Landlord and which was so imposed or assessed as a direct result of Landlord’s ownership of the Demised Premises, or of this Lease Agreement or of the rentals accruing under this Lease Agreement, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the rent to be paid hereunder shall be paid to Landlord with absolutely no deduction of any nature whatsoever, foreseeable or unforeseeable, ordinary or extraordinary, or of any nature, kind or description except as in this Lease Agreement is otherwise expressly provided. Nothing in this Lease Agreement contained shall require Tenant to pay any municipal, state or federal income or excess profits taxes assessed against Landlord, or any municipal, state or federal capital levy, estate, succession, inheritance or transfer taxes of Landlord.

Section 4.4 Taxes and Assessments due and payable in 2010 for the Demised Premises are Sixty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-eight and  84/100 Dollars ($63,638.84) and shall be paid by Tenant in twelve (12) equal monthly installments of Five Thousand Three Hundred Three and  24/100 Dollars ($5,303,24). Monthly payments of taxes and Assessments shall be adjusted each year so that the full amount of Taxes and Assessments due for such year are paid for by Tenant. As soon as reasonably possible after receipt of the annual tax bill for the Demised Premises, Landlord shall provide a copy thereof to Tenant and Tenant’s monthly obligation for Taxes and Assessments shall be adjusted in accordance therewith. If the total monthly payments made by Tenant pursuant to this Section exceed the amount of payments necessary for said Taxes and Assessments in any given year, such excess shall be credited on subsequent monthly payments of the same nature, except that any excess payment made at the end of the Term shall be refunded to Tenant. If the total of such monthly payments so made under this Section shall be insufficient to pay such Taxes and Assessments when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amount as may be necessary to make up the deficiency. Payment by Tenant of Taxes and Assessments under this Section shall be considered as performance of such obligation under the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof.

ARTICLE X

INTENT OF PARTIES

Section 10.1 It being the intent and purpose of the respective parties hereto that this Lease Agreement shall be a “Net Lease” and that all rentals shall be paid to Landlord without diminution, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the parties agree that all cost or expense of whatever character or kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, and of every kind and nature whatsoever that may be necessary in the operation of the Demised Premises, and all improvements erected thereon, and Tenant’s authorized use thereof during the entire term of this Lease Agreement, or any extension thereof, shall be paid by Tenant, and all provisions of this Lease Agreement relating to Taxes and Assessments, charges or other expenses are to be construed in light of such intent and purpose that the Lease Agreement be a “Net Lease,” and that all rentals shall be paid to Landlord without diminution, reduction or offset, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed as a waiver or release of Tenant from any obligation of Tenant in this Lease Agreement contained.

Section 10.3 All sums so paid to Landlord and costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of any such act, together with interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate from the respective dates of Landlord’s making of each payment of each such cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of or by reason of Tenant’s failure to provide and keep in force insurance as aforesaid, to the amount of the insurance premium or premiums not paid or not incurred by Tenant, and which would have been payable upon such insurance, but Landlord shall also be entitled to recover, as damages for such breach, the uninsured amount of any loss (to the extent of any deficiency in the insurance required by the provisions of this Lease Agreement, damages, costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by reason of damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises or any part or portion thereof, occurring at any period when Tenant shall have failed or neglected to provide insurance as aforesaid. If Tenant shall fail to perform any act required of it, Landlord may perform the same, but shall not be required to do so, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable and, in exercising any such right, may employ counsel and pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate from the date of making such expenditure by Landlord, shall be deemed additional rent herein and, except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be payable to Landlord on demand or, at the option of Landlord, may be added to any monthly rental then due or thereafter becoming due under this Lease Agreement, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums, with interest as aforesaid, and Landlord shall have, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of monthly Rent.

  11.1.7 if an Event of Default occurs under Section 3.2 of this Lease;

then, and in any such event, Landlord, at any time thereafter during the continuance of any such Event of Default, may give written notice to Tenant specifying such Event of Default or Events of Default and stating that this Lease Agreement and the terms hereby demised shall terminate on the date specified in such notice, which shall be at least ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in such notice this Lease Agreement and the terms hereby demised and all rights of Tenant under this Lease Agreement, including all rights of renewal whether exercised or not, shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Section 11.1.5, the Lease will automatically terminate as fully and completely as if the day of the happening of such contingency were the date herein specifically fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease.

Section 11.3 At any time, or from time to time after any such expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may relet the Demised Premises, or any part or portion thereof, in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period that would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease Agreement) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine and may collect and receive the rents therefor. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part or portion thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.

Section 11.4 No such expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement, including a termination of this Lease Agreement as a result of an Event of Default under Section 11.1.5 hereof, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease Agreement, and such liabilities and obligations shall survive any such expiration or termination.

11.4.1 In the event of termination of this Lease, other than a termination as a result of an Event of Default under this Article XI, Section 11.1.5, whether or not the Demised Premises or any part or portion thereof shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant’s default:

 

  (a) Landlord shall have the right to accelerate all Base Rent for the remainder of the Term up to a maximum of three (3) years Base Rent; provided however that, with respect to the Bank Loan Payment portion of Base Rent, Landlord shall have the right to accelerate the remaining principal and accrued, but unpaid interest due on the Bank Loan, as well as require that Tenant pay to Landlord all remaining principal and accrued, but unpaid interest due on the City of Coon Rapids Loans (the “Liquidated Rent”). Landlord may declare the Liquidated Rent all immediately due and payable with a present value discount one (1) percentage point below the prime rate published as the Wall Street Journal prime rate in the Wall Street Journal on the date Landlord elects said remedy, plus

 

15


 

  (b) The equivalent of the amount of insurance premiums, and other expenses and charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder which would be payable under this Lease Agreement by Tenant for the remainder of the Term up to a maximum of three (3) years if this Lease Agreement were still in effect, less

 

  (c) the net proceeds of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.3 hereof after deducting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with such reletting including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation of the Demised Premises, or any part or portion thereof, for such reletting.

Tenant shall pay such current damages (hereinafter called “Deficiency”) to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Base Rent would have been payable under this Lease Agreement if this Lease Agreement were still in effect, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly Deficiency as the same shall arise.

11.4.2 If this Lease Agreement terminates as a result of an Event of Default under Article XI, Section 11.1.5 of the Lease, then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant or Tenant’s estate (in lieu of the equivalent of the amount of all Base Rent unpaid at the date of such termination) as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum which at the time of such termination represents the difference between i) the then-present worth of the aggregate of the Base Rent, insurance premiums and all other expenses and charges payable by Tenant hereunder that would have accrued for the balance of the Term of this Lease Agreement; and ii) the then present worth of the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the balance of such Term, unless any statute or rule of law covering the proceedings in which such damages are to be proved shall limit the amount of such claim capable of being so proved, in which case Landlord shall be entitled to prove as and for liquidated damages by reason of such breach and termination of this Lease Agreement the maximum amount which may be allowed by or under any such statute or rule of law which may govern the proceedings in which such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the excess of the Base Rent over the rental value referred to above.

11.4.3 The remedies provided in this Article XI, Section 11.4 shall in no way limit or affect any of Landlord’s other rights pursuant to this Lease, at law or in equity. Specified remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Article XI, Section 11.4 are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may be lawfully entitled.

Section 11.5 No failure by Landlord or by Tenant to insist upon the performance of any of the terms of this Lease Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any of the terms of this Lease Agreement. None of the terms of this Lease Agreement to be kept, observed or performed by Landlord or by Tenant, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord and/or by Tenant, as the case may be. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease Agreement, but each of the terms of this Lease

 

16


Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then-existing or subsequent breach of this Lease Agreement. No waiver of any default of either party herein shall be implied from any omission by the other party to take any action on account of such default, if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the express waiver and that only for the time and to the extent therein stated. One or more waivers by either party shall not be construed as a Waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition.

Section 11.6 In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the terms contained in this Lease Agreement, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any right or remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though entry, reentry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease Agreement. Each remedy or right of Landlord provided for in this Lease Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies.

ARTICLE XII

DESTRUCTION AND RESTORATION

Section 12.1 Provided Tenant has in full force and effect at the time of such damage or destruction the insurance policies of the kind and in the amount required by Section 5.1 hereof, Landlord covenants and agrees that in case of damage to or destruction of the Building, or the machinery, fixtures and equipment thereon contained (exclusive of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures), by fire or otherwise, Landlord shall promptly, at its sole cost and expense, repair, restore and rebuild the Building or the portion that was damaged to the condition that it was in immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or with such changes, alterations or modifications as may be made (including the substitution and addition of other property) in conformity with Article XIX hereof, If the net amount of the insurance proceeds received by Landlord is insufficient to restore, repair and rebuild the Building, machinery, fixtures and equipment therein contained, Tenant will pay the amount of the deficiency required to restore, repair and rebuild the Building, machinery, fixtures and equipment. Landlord may require, at its election, the Tenant to deposit with Landlord a cash deposit equal to the amount of the deficiency prior to commencing any repair or restoration of the Building. Any restoration or repair shall be completed in accordance with the applicable building codes existing at the time of the restoration or repair. The provisions and conditions in Article XIX herein contained applicable to changes or alterations shall similarly apply to work required to be done under this Article XII. In the event that Tenant fails to maintain in force and effect at the time of such damage or destruction the insurance policies of the kind and in the amount required by Section 5.1 hereof, and if as a result thereof the net amount of insurance proceeds recovered by Landlord is insufficient to restore, repair and rebuild the Building, machinery, fixtures and equipment therein contained (exclusive of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures). Tenant will deposit with Landlord a cash deposit equal to the reasonable estimate of the amount necessary to restore, repair and rebuild the same, less the amount of such insurance proceeds available. Said deposit shall be made upon the written request of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such insufficiency in insurance proceeds is caused by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, Landlord shall make the amount of such insufficiency available for restoration; provided, however, no act or omission by Landlord relating to the existence, limits of coverage, amounts recoverable, procuring new or additional coverage, or continuance of any existing coverages on cancellation shall constitute an act or omission within the meaning of this sentence.

Section 12.2 All insurance monies recovered by Landlord on account of such damage or destruction less the costs, if any, to Landlord of such recovery, together with any monies deposited with Landlord by Tenant or supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 12.1 above, shall be invested by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion, and all such insurance monies, monies deposited with Landlord by Tenant or supplied by Landlord, and interest

 

17

Tenant shall furnish Landlord at the same time of any such payment with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that there are no unpaid bills in respect to any of the labor, services or materials performed, furnished or supplied in connection with such Work. Landlord shall not be required to pay out any monies where Tenant fails to supply the evidence of payment of labor, services or materials performed, furnished or supplied, as aforesaid. If the insurance monies in the hands of Landlord and such other sums, if any, deposited with or supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, together with interest and investment earnings thereon, shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of the Work, Tenant agrees to pay the deficiency promptly upon demand. Upon completion of the Work and payment in full thereof by Tenant, Landlord shall turn over to Tenant, upon submission of proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the Work has been paid for in full and the damaged or destroyed buildings repaired, restored or rebuilt as nearly as possible to the condition they were in immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or with such Changes or Alterations as may be made in conformity with Article XIX, any insurance and other monies then remaining and any interest and investment earnings thereon.

Section 12.3 Tenant’s obligations to make payment of the Base Rent (including the Bank Loan Payment), the Other Loan Payments, insurance premiums and other expenses and charges on the part of Tenant to be paid, and the obligation of Tenant to perform all other covenants and agreements on the part of Tenant to be performed, shall not be affected by any such damage to or destruction of the Building or the Demised Premises by fire or otherwise, and Tenant waives any right now or hereafter conferred upon Tenant by statute or otherwise to quit or surrender this Lease Agreement or the Demised Premises, or any part or portion thereof, or to any suspension, diminution, abatement or reduction of rent on account of any such damage or destruction.

Section 12.4 To the extent that any insurance monies which would otherwise be payable to Landlord and used in the restoration of a damaged or destroyed building are paid to any mortgagee of Landlord and applied in payment of or reduction of the sum or sums secured by any such mortgage or mortgages made by Landlord on the Demised Premises, Landlord shall make available for the use of Tenant in connection with the repairing, restoring and rebuilding of any damaged or destroyed building on the Demised Premises an amount equal to the amount payable to the holder of an Encumbrance, and such sum shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 12.2 hereof, but failure of Landlord to make any such payments will not affect Tenant’s obligation under Section 12.3.

Section 12.5 The provisions of this Article XII shall apply only to damage or destruction of a building erected on the Demised Premises and ready for beneficial occupancy by Tenant. Any such damage or destruction occurring to the Improvements being constructed pursuant to the provisions of Article II of this Lease Agreement which occurs prior to the Construction Completion Date shall be repaired, replaced or rebuilt by Landlord and Landlord shall maintain builder’s risk insurance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value of the work completed and the materials stored at the site of the work during construction of such Improvements and all insurance monies received by Landlord under its builder’s risk insurance policies shall be applied by Landlord to restore, repair or rebuild the damaged or destroyed Improvements.

Section 12.6 In the event the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed to an extent greater than sixty percent (60%) of their full replacement value by fire or other casualty during the last two years of the term of this Lease Agreement or the last year of any extension hereof, and provided Tenant has in full force and effect at the time of such damage or destruction the insurance policies of the kind and in the amount required by Section 5.1 hereof, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease Agreement, without obligation to restore or rebuild, as of the date of such damage or destruction by giving Landlord an appropriate written notice to that effect within sixty (60) days after such damage or destruction. In the event Tenant elects to terminate this Lease Agreement, as set forth in this section, Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain as its sole property, free and clear of any claim of Tenant, the full amount of the proceeds of the insurance on the damaged or destroyed buildings. Except as set forth in the next sentence, all Base Rent or other charges paid or payable shall be adjusted as of the date that Tenant quits the Demised Premises and surrenders the same to Landlord and an appropriate payment or refund shall be made as the case may be. No termination of this Lease by Tenant under this Section 12.6 shall relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay to Landlord any remaining Bank Loan Payments or Other Loan Payments, all of which shall accelerate and become due and payable to Landlord on the effective date of the termination of this Lease under this Section 12.6.

ARTICLE XIII

CONDEMNATION

Section 13.1 If, during the Term of this Lease Agreement, there is a “Total Taking,” as defined in any Encumbrance, this Lease Agreement and all right, title, and interest of Tenant hereunder shall cease and come to an end on the date of possession by the condemning authority to such proceedings and Landlord shall be entitled to and shall receive the total award made in such proceedings. Tenant hereby assigns any interest in such award to Landlord subject, however, to the provisions of Section 13.3 hereof.

Section 13.2 If there is less than such a “Total Taking,” this Lease shall not be terminated. Landlord shall be entitled to and shall receive the total award made in such proceedings, and Tenant hereby assigns any interest in such award to Landlord subject, however, to the provisions of Section 13.3 hereof. Tenant, in such case, covenants and agrees, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement to the extent hereinafter provided), promptly to restore that portion of the Building on the Demised Premises not so taken to a complete architectural unit for the use and occupancy of Tenant as in this Lease provided. In the event the net amount of the award (after deduction of all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees) that may be received by Landlord in any such proceedings for physical damage to the Building is insufficient to pay all costs of such restoration, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such additional sum as may be required upon the written request of Landlord. The provisions and conditions in Article XIX applicable to Changes and Alterations shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to restore that portion of the Building to a complete architectural unit. Landlord agrees, in connection with such restoration, to invest the amount of such award as directed by Tenant with the approval of Landlord, and to apply the net amount of any award (after deduction of all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees) and any interest and investment earnings thereon, that may be received by Landlord in any such proceedings for physical damage to the Building, and any interest and

investment earnings thereon, to the costs of restoration thereof and the said net award for physical damage to the Building, and any interest and investment earnings thereon, shall be paid out from time to time to Tenant, or on behalf of Tenant, as such restoration progresses upon the written request of Tenant, which request shall be accompanied by a certificate of the architect or the registered professional engineer in charge of the restoration stating (i) that the sum requested is justly due to the contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons, firms or corporations rendering labor, material or services for such work of restoration, or is justly required to reimburse Tenant for such work of restoration, or is justly required to reimburse Tenant for expenditures made by Tenant in connection with such work of restoration and, when added to all sums previously paid out by Landlord, does not exceed the value of the restoration work performed to the date of such certificate; and (ii) that the net amount of any such award for physical damage to the Building remaining in the hands of Landlord together with the sums, if any, deposited by Tenant with Landlord pursuant to the provisions hereof, will be sufficient upon the completion of such restoration to pay for the same in full. If payment of the award for physical damage to the Building, as aforesaid, shall not be received by Landlord in time to permit payments as the work of restoration progresses, Tenant shall, nevertheless, perform and fully pay for such work without delay (except such delays as are referred to in Article XIX hereof), and payment of the amount to which Tenant may be entitled shall thereafter be made by Landlord out of the net award for physical damage to the Building as and when payment of such award is received by Landlord.

From and after the date of possession of the condemning authority in such proceedings, Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent, insurance premiums and other expenses and charges as in this Lease Agreement provided to be paid by Tenant, subject to an abatement of a just and proportionate part of the Base Rent according to the extent and nature of such taking as provided for in Section 13.2 hereof as to the Demised Premises remaining after such taking, and no abatement or suspension shall be made by reason of damage or destruction or impairment of use of the area not taken. No termination of this Lease by Tenant under this Section 13.4 shall relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay to Landlord any remaining Bank Loan Payments or Other Loan Payments, all of which shall accelerate and become due and payable to Landlord on the effective date of the termination of this Lease under this Section 13.4.

Section 21.5 Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, Tenant’s right to extend the term of this Lease pursuant to this Article XXI shall automatically terminate upon Tenant’s subletting or assigning any portion of its interest under this Lease.

 

27


Section 21.6 After timely receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice of its Option to Extend, Landlord and Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which to agree on the Market Rent of the Demised Premises for the Extended Term. If Landlord and Tenant agree on the Market Rent for the Demised Premises, then they shall immediately execute an amendment to this lease as provided in this Article XXI, which will incorporate the Market Rent as the Base Rent during the Extended Term.

Section 21.7 If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Market Rent then, and in any such event, at the request of either party such Market Rent shall be determined by appraisal by three (3) reputable real estate appraisers, each of whom shall be a Member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with the designation of “MAI” and shall have no “disqualifying interest” (as hereinafter defined). One (1) appraiser shall be appointed by Tenant or its representative and the second (2nd) appraiser shall be appointed by Landlord or its representative. The third (3rd) appraiser shall be appointed by the first two (2) appraisers. If the first two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second (2nd) appraiser, or if either party refuses or neglects to appoint any appraiser as herein provided within ten (10) days after the appointment of the first (1st) appraiser, then such third (3rd) appraiser or such second (2nd) appraiser whose appointment was not made as aforesaid shall be appointed by the then President of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (“Appraisal Institute”) or such successor body hereafter constituted exercising similar functions, unless such President shall have a direct or indirect financial or other business interest in or in common with any of the parties hereto (herein referred to as a “disqualifying interest”), in which case the third (3rd) appraiser or such other appraiser whose appointment was not made as aforesaid shall be appointed by the then next highest ranking officer of the Minnesota chapter of the Appraisal Institute or such successor body who shall not have a disqualifying interest. If the determinations of at least two (2) of the appraisers shall be identical in amount and said amount shall be deemed to be the Market Rent. If the determinations of at least two (2) of the appraisers shall not be identical in amount, the Market Rent shall be determined as follows (a) if neither the highest nor the lowest determination of Market Rent differs from the middle determination of Market Rent by more than ten percent (10%) of such middle determination of Market Rent, then the Market Rent shall be the average of all three (3) determinations of Market Rent, and (b) if clause (a) does not apply, then the Market Rent shall be the average of the middle determination of Market Rent and the determination of Market Rent closest in amount to said middle determination of Market Rent. The foregoing determination of Market Rent shall in all cases be final, finding and conclusive upon the parties. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the one of the two (2) original appraisers appointed by such party, or in whose stead as above provided such appraiser was appointed, and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by both parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the said appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association (including for appointment of appraisers if the foregoing procedures for any reason fail), and judgment upon any appraisal decision rendered may be entered by any Court having jurisdiction thereof.

ARTICLE XXII

GUARANTY

Section 22.1 As additional security for the faithful performance by tenant of all convents, conditions and agreements of this Lease, Guarantor has executed and delivered Landlord a guaranty of lease in the form of the attached Exhibit C (the “Guaranty of Lease”) unconditionally guaranteeing to Landlord the due and punctual payment and performance by tenant of all of tenant’s obligations hereunder for the time period and as otherwise more particularly set forth in the Guaranty of Lease. No right or remedy available to Landlord under the Guaranty of Lease or this Lease shall extinguish any other right to which Landlord may be entitled. In furtherance of the foregoing, it is understood that in the event Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, neither the Security Deposit nor any amounts recovered by Landlord under the Guaranty of Lease shall be deemed liquidated damages. Landlord may apply such sums to reduce Landlord’s damages and such application of funds shall not preclude Landlord from recovering from Tenant or Guarantor all additional damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform hereunder.

 

28


Section 22.2 Tenant covenants and agrees that, at any time, within thirty (30) days after notice and demand by landlord, Tenant shall cause Guarantor to furnish Landlord financial statements as of the end of such Guarantor’s last fiscal year certified by an independent certified public accountant, and Tenant and Guarantor consent to the delivery of same by Landlord to lenders or prospective lenders or purchasers of all or part of the Building or the Leased Land.
