monthly to Landlord as Additional Rent at the start of the Lease Term shall be as provided for in Section 1.k, which amount shall be a cap (“First Year Cap”) on Business Operating Expenses through the year 2008.

 

  5.2 Building Operating Expenses Defined. For purposes of this Section, Building Operating Expenses which are recoverable by Landlord from Tenant as Additional Rent shall include, without limitation, all expenses of Landlord for maintaining, operating, and repairing the Building and the real property on which it is located, and the personal property, if any, used in connection therewith, including taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, utilities, costs to repair and maintain lighting, customary management fees and other expenses which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices, would be considered an expense of maintaining, operating or repairing the Building; excluding, however: (i) the cost of any special services rendered to individual tenants for which a separate charge is collected; (ii) leasing commissions and other leasing expenses; and (iii) costs of improvements required to be capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, except that Building Operating Expenses shall include amortization of capital improvements made subsequent to initial development of the Building which are required by law including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as it may be amended, or regulations promulgated thereunder, or improvements which are designed with reasonable probability of improving the operating efficiency of the Building; provided, however, that in such latter case such amortization shall not exceed the reasonably expected savings in Building Operating Expenses. The intent of the Parties is to make rental payable by Tenant and other tenants in the Building, if any, absolutely net to Landlord.

 

  5.3 Taxes and Assessments Defined. For the purposes of this Section, taxes and assessments shall include, without limitation, all real estate taxes, assessments and other charges levied with respect to real and personal property payable during any calendar year with respect to the Building and the real property on which it is located, and all property of Landlord, real or personal, used directly in the operation of the Building and located in or on the property, together with any charges levied or assessed in addition to or in lieu of any such taxes or assessments, or any tax upon the leasing of the Building or the rents collected (excluding any net income or franchise tax), and including costs and expenses of contesting the validity or amount of any such taxes and assessments.

 

  5.4 Tenant’s Pro Rata Share. Tenant’s pro rata share of Building Operating Expenses to be paid by Tenant shall be that portion of the whole which the rentable square footage of the Premises bears to the total rentable square footage of the Building ,provided, however, that as to those Building Operating Expenses which, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, vary in direct relationship to the occupancy of the Building, Tenant’s prorata share shall be that portion of the whole which the rentable square footage of the Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the Building actually occupied by tenants; provided, further, that Tenant’s share of Building Operating Expenses shall be increased to the extent that any leasehold improvements of Tenant, whether installed by the Tenant or by the Landlord at Tenant’s expense, shall have increased the assessed value of the Building or the real property on which it is located for real estate tax purposes.

 

  5.5

Adjustment of Additional Rent. Landlord may adjust the Additional Rent effective at the beginning of each accounting period on the basis of the Landlord’s reasonably anticipated Building Operating Expenses for that accounting period. An accounting period is a calendar year, except the first accounting period shall commence on the date the term commences and the last accounting period shall end on the date the term expires or terminates. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, as soon as reasonably practicable after each accounting period, a statement showing Tenant’s share of the actual Building Operating Expenses for such accounting period and the payments made by Tenant in that regard. If Tenant’s share of actual Building Operating Expenses for the accounting period exceeds the payments made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days after receipt of the statement. If Tenant’s payments made during the accounting period exceed Tenant’s share of the actual Building Operating Expenses for such period, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, either pay Tenant the excess at the time Landlord

   - 4 -    Please Initial _______


 

furnishes that statement to Tenant or credit such excess against the next rent payment or payments due from Tenant. Following delivery of Landlord’s statement of Tenant’s share of actual Building Operating Expenses, Tenant and its auditors, agents and representatives shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s accounting records relative to real estate taxes, Building Operating Expenses, and such of Landlord’s reconciliation of costs as pertain to and contain information concerning such costs and expenses in order to verify the amounts thereof, during normal business hours one (1) time each year during the Lease Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, until a date that is ninety (90) days after the receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s final statement of which Tenant shall be obliged to pay to Landlord Additional Rent. Tenant’s right to inspect Landlord’s accounting records shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Such inspection shall be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant except in the event that it is determined that Building Operating Expenses have been overstated by more than five percent (5%) for any given year, in which case Landlord shall pay for all costs for such inspection.

 

6. Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit

Prior to execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the prepaid Base Monthly Rent, the prepaid Additional Rent, and the security deposit included in the total deposit identified in Section 1.o. This money represents the following:

 

  6.1 Prepaid Base Monthly Rent. The prepaid Base Monthly Rent is the Base Monthly Rent for the months identified in Section 1.l.

 

  6.2 Prepaid Additional Rent. The prepaid Additional Rent is the Tenant’s share of estimated Building Operating Expenses for the months identified in Section 1.m.

 

  6.3 Security Deposit. The security deposit shall be a deposit for the performance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease and in the amount identified in Section 1.n.

If Tenant is in default, Landlord may use the Security Deposit, as well as any previously unapplied balance of the prepaid Base Monthly Rent or the prepaid Additional Rent, or any portion of any of them, to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for any damage resulting from the Tenant’s default. On demand, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the sum necessary to restore the Security Deposit to that amount initially deposited with Landlord, as well as any sum necessary to restore the previously unapplied balance of the prepaid Base Monthly Rent and the prepaid Additional Rent. In addition, should the Base Monthly Rent increase during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit the additional sum required to make the prepaid Base Monthly Rent for the month or months indicated in Subsection 6.1, the proper amount. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, or any extension thereof, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit and any unapplied portions of the prepaid Base Monthly Rent and the prepaid Additional Rent are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord may maintain such sums separate and apart from Landlord’s general funds or may commingle them with Landlord’s general or other funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on such sums, or any portion thereof. In the event this Lease is terminated before its normal Expiration Date, any rent paid for any period beyond the termination date shall be considered an additional Security Deposit.

7. Late Charge

Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting expenses, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises. Therefore, in the event Tenant should fail to pay any installment of rent or any other sum due hereunder within the ten (10) business days after such amount is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of each such installment or sum. Waiver of said five percent (5%) late charge with respect to any installment or sum shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent late charge which may accrue. In the event any amount so due is delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, Tenant shall pay Landlord an additional late charge, computed at the rate of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month or the maximum rate permissible by law, upon the total amount so overdue for each month or portion thereof in which payment is delinquent more than thirty (30) days. A twenty-five dollar ($25.00) charge will be paid by Tenant to Landlord for each returned check.

 

8. Tenant’s Property

All articles of personal property (including Tenant’s generator and UPS system) and all business and trade fixtures owned by Tenant or leased by Tenant and located in the Premises shall remain the property of Tenant, and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Lease Term, provided Tenant is not in default. Upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove any such property, together with any such property of any party other than Landlord. Tenant shall repair the damage to the Premises resulting from the installation or removal of such property, and shall promptly surrender the Premises in the condition required by Section 31 hereof. In the event of any failure by Tenant to remove, repair or clean as in this Section provided, Tenant shall upon demand, reimburse Landlord for the cost of any such removal, repair or cleaning. Any property left on the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Lease term or after Tenant’s vacation or abandonment of the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed to have been abandoned and to have become the property of Landlord to dispose of as Landlord deems expedient; Tenant agrees that expenses to be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand, include court costs, attorneys’ fees and storage charges relating to such property. Landlord may, at its option, sell said property at private sale without notice or legal process, for such price as Landlord may obtain, and apply the proceeds of such sale to any amounts due under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord, including expenses incident to the removal and sale of such property, or Landlord may otherwise dispose of such property.

 

9. Improvements and Alterations by Tenant

Tenant shall have the right to make (1) “Cosmetic Alterations” and (2) alterations that cost less than $75,000 without Landlord’s consent. For purposes of the Lease, “Cosmetic Alterations” are those alterations that satisfy all of the following criteria: (a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from the exterior of the Building; (c) will not affect the Base Building, and (d) that such improvements are in accordance with all governmental laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and requirements. All other alterations shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable consent, which consent shall not withheld or conditioned unless the making or installation of the improvements or alterations (a) adversely affects the Building Structure; (b) adversely affects the Building Systems; (c) do not comply with applicable laws; (d) affect the exterior appearance of the Building; or (e) would unreasonably interfere with the normal and customary business operations of the other tenants in the Building.

Notwithstanding, prior to commencing the work pursuant to this Section of the Lease, Tenant will inform Landlord in writing of all such alterations and perform the duties outlined in the Lease so as to insure proper coordination with building operations and other building occupants. Landlord may require Tenant to remove such Cosmetic Alterations and restore the Premises to the condition they were in at the

commencement of the term at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. In addition, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from all costs and expenses of such work as further provided for in the Lease.

As conditioned above, Tenant may make, at its expense, such additional improvements or alterations to the Premises as it may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that any repairs, improvements or alterations by Tenant shall be done only at times and in conformity with plans and specifications approved in advance in writing by Landlord, by a licensed contractor approved in advance in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and in accordance with all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and requirements of governmental agencies, offices and boards having jurisdiction. Landlord shall specify in its approval (or, where no approval is required, upon Tenant’s written request) whether Landlord shall require Tenant to remove such improvement or alteration at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant will pay directly or reimburse Landlord for any cost incurred by Landlord in obtaining said approval(s). If requested by Landlord, Tenant will post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to protect Landlord against liens arising from work performed for Tenant. All work performed shall be done in workmanlike manner and with material (when not specifically described in the specifications) of the quality and appearance customary in the trade for first-class construction of the type in which the Premises are located, and shall become the property of Landlord. Landlord may require Tenant to remove any improvements or alterations made by Tenant or at Tenant’s request at the expiration of the term, and to restore the Premises to the condition they were in at the commencement of the term. The foregoing shall not apply to any work performed by Tenant in the Premises as part of the initial Tenant Improvement package, the subsequent addition of the 2,000 square feet as set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit E of this Lease (together, “Excepted Improvements”), which Excepted Improvements Landlord has approved to remain in the Premises after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

31. Surrender of Premises

Dear Mr. Papano:

Captaris, Inc, (hereinafter called “Tenant”) and M & M Real Estate Strategies, LLC (hereinafter called “Landlord”) are executing this Work Letter Agreement in conjunction with a written Lease dated September 10, 2007 (the “Lease”) on the Second, Third, and Fourth Floors and portion of the Fifth Floor as described in the Lease in the building known as the I-405 Corporate Center, 301 116th Avenue SE, Suite 105, Bellevue, WA. This Work Letter Agreement is supplemented by that a revised Test-Fit provided to Landlord by Tenant on July 20, 2007 and previously qualified and clarified in the Letter of Intent to Lease signed by Tenant on July 11, 2007 and further clarified by the Revised Preliminary Captaris’ Tenant Improvement Adjustments, Upgrades and Revisions, Exhibit C-1, dated September 7, 2007. As further consideration to entering into the Lease, the Landlord and Tenant mutually agree to the following conditions of this Work Letter Agreement and to work together to come to a mutually acceptable outcome as it relates to the Tenant’s Space:

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Work Letter Agreement, Tenant may select an architect of Tenant’s choice to provide space planning and design for architectural services, which includes construction documents, and fully engineered drawings required for the performance of the tenant improvement work (hereafter referred to as “the Work”). Landlord shall contribute $1.50 per rentable square foot to pay for space planning, construction drawings, permit set drawings and City assistance and construction management. Any additional cost incurred for these services shall be borne by Tenant. The final documents shall consist of architectural, mechanical, and electrical plans, including plans and specifications for Tenant’s partition layout, reflected ceiling, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, and location of electrical and telephone outlets. In addition, the selected Architect shall submit to the city for the building permit and shall assist Landlord in obtaining the appropriate permits.

Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance not to exceed $18,000 for audio-visual electrical equipment to be used in the space.

Tenant will cooperate with Landlord to locate the server room and other special use rooms in the most cost effective location in building at Landlord’s expense.

 

   

Landlord shall also be responsible for the reasonable and comparable cost associated with building Tenant’s Premises on Floor 5 once the 2,045 square feet becomes available. Tenant shall not incur any costs regarding the reconfiguration that is required for furniture relocation, cabling, and collapsing of the corridor to bring Floor 5 back to a single floor tenancy.

 

   

Tenant may install an outside generator and UPS, provided that it is: 1) compatible with landlord’s existing systems, 2) is done at tenant’s expense and, 3) is installed in a manner to not interfere with other work that is being done by the General Contractor or their subcontractors.

 

  b. “Plans and Specifications” are defined as those construction drawings and specifications which are prepared by Landlord’s Architect in accordance with this Work Letter Agreement and which present a full and complete accounting of the scope of the Work to be performed by Landlord as well as any of Tenant’s Additional Work.

 

  c. “Final Agreed Plans” are defined as those Plans and Specifications which have been reviewed and approved by both Landlord and Tenant and signed by Tenant as provided for in Section Two (2) of this Work Letter Agreement.

 

  d.

2. ADMINISTRATION OF FINAL AGREED PLANS:

 

  a. Tenant has provided it’s architect with sufficient information to enable it’s architect to prepare Plans and Specifications for the Work and Tenant’s Additional Work, if any.

Information required from Tenant to complete the Plans and Specifications includes, but is not limited to: (i) required dimensions and layout of the Premises; (ii) color and specifications for paint, carpet and all finishes; (iii) standard and non standard electrical, telephone, data cabling requirements; special environmental and electrical requirements including those for office equipment such as computers, phone systems, copy machines, facsimile machines, and appliances such as refrigerators, coffee makers, dishwashers, or microwaves, (iv) any information related to Tenant’s Additional Work, if any. These requirements follow the guidelines set forth in the I-405 Corporate Center Tenant Architectural Handbook.

 

  b. Preliminary Plans and Specifications shall be completed by Tenant’s Architect and provided to Tenant and Landlord on or before August 31, 2007 for review and pricing and Plans and Specifications for city construction permit submission are to be approved by Tenant and returned to Landlord not later than September 19, 2007 for Landlord’s final review, pricing and consent, not to be unreasonably withheld (submission to City is scheduled for September 21, 2007). Failure by Tenant to provide a timely approval to Landlord of these Plans and Specifications may delay Landlord’s efforts to complete the improvements to the Leased Premises. Such delay caused by Tenant shall not alter the Lease Commencement Date nor release Tenant of its obligation to pay all rents and assessments as they may fall due under the Lease as if the delay had not occurred.

 

  c. After the Plans and Specifications for city construction permit submission are approved by Landlord and Tenant in writing they become the Final Agreed Plans and shall become a part of the Lease agreement and this Work Letter. In the event the City of Bellevue requests material changes to the final plans and specifications the costs of the required changes shall be borne by the Landlord if they are a result of a preexisting condition(s) specifically related to the base Building and/or the Tenant if the required revision(s) relates to Tenant’s plans and specifications.

 

  d. Revisions to the Final Agreed Plans, if any, are to be accommodated by Field Change Orders. A “Field Change Order” is a document which outlines the scope of a requested change in the Work as defined by the Final Agreed plans and bears the signature of Tenant and Landlord representatives approving such change in scope. All such plans, specifications, and Field Change Orders shall be approved by Landlord and Tenant prior to being executed or acted upon by the Contractor. In the event the Field Change Order increases the construction cost Tenant shall pay to Landlord 100% of the anticipated increase at the time the Field Change Order is signed by Tenant. Unless such payment is made, Landlord shall not be bound to approve any proposed Field Change Orders and may proceed to complete the Leased Premises in accordance with the Final Agreed Plans and Tenant’s obligations under the Lease shall commence according to the terms of the Lease.

 

  e. Landlord will have relied exclusively upon the representations made by Tenant, Tenant’s agent(s), and representatives(s) in the development of Tenant’s improvements requirements. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Final Agreed Plans, once approved by Landlord and signed by Tenant, shall represent the complete understanding between Landlord and Tenant as to the scope of improvements to be provided under the Lease and this Work Letter.

5. COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION AND RENTAL COMMENCEMENT DATE

It is agreed that Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent as called for under the Lease shall not commence until Landlord has substantially completed all work to be performed by Landlord as set forth on the Final Agreed Plans. In the event Landlord is delayed in substantially completing said work as a result of: (i) Tenant’s failure to timely furnish information required by and in accordance with the requirements of this Work Letter Agreement; (ii) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes, or installations other than the Work; (iii) Tenant’s changes to the Final Agreed Plans; or, (iv) as a result of any other act or failure to act on the part of Tenant which delays the completion of the work, then such delay shall not alter the Lease Commencement Date nor the Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to complete the Leased Premises by the Lease Commencement Date. However, Landlord shall not be held liable for any damages incurred by Tenant in the event of a delay due to strikes, governmental regulations, acts of God, or any other causes beyond Landlord’s control.

Tenant shall be a third party beneficiary of landlord’s rights under the construction contract and benefit from contractor-supplied, one-year guarantee to Owner of Captaris’ Tenant Improvements.

This Work Letter Agreement and the subsequent Final Agreed Plans shall constitute the complete construction specifications and no other representations, or oral agreements between the Parties shall be recognized in the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant.

Time is of the essence with respect to each of the duties and obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth in this Work Letter Agreement.

The dates and allowances set forth in the Lease and this Work Letter Agreement are based on the Lease and Work Letter Agreement being signed by both parties prior to September 10, 2007.

Tenant shall take the Expansion Space upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease, when it becomes available, making the total square footage of the proposed space 54,855 rentable square feet (subject to BOMA remeasurement). Rent shall not commence on the Expansion Space until completion of the Tenant Improvements in such space.

Landlord agrees to cover the reasonable and comparable costs (equal to the original improvements paid for by Landlord) associated with expanding Tenant’s Premises on Floor 5 once the Expansion Space becomes available. In addition Landlord shall cover the costs of this reconfiguration that are reasonably required for furniture relocation, cabling, and collapsing of the corridor to bring Floor 5 back to a single floor tenancy.

 

2. Early Entry.

Tenant, its contractors and/or agents, shall be permitted to enter the Premises without obligation to pay rent or other amounts due under the Lease immediately after mutual signing of the Lease for the purpose of preparing the space for Tenant’s use, including to install furniture, fixtures, trade fixtures, personal property, telecommunications, cabling and equipment which are exclusive of any tenant improvements. Any such early entry shall be harmonious with Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors and other occupants of the Building and shall be upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease with the exception of payment of Base Rent or other sums due under the Lease.

 

3. Option to Renew.

Tenant shall have two (2) five (5) year renewal options for all or any part of the Premises during the Term, provided that any space not included in the renewal shall be leaseable to another tenant. Such renewals shall be upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease except the rental rate shall be established at 95% of prevailing fair market rate (Market Definition defined below) for the Premises, factoring in all market concessions including a refurbishment allowance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a minimum of nine (9) months prior written notice of its intention to exercise its extension option.

For the purpose of any extension or renewal of the Lease, the market rate shall be the rate that is charged to non-renewing/non-extending tenants for space of comparable size, location and conditions in comparable Buildings within the market area. The market rate should take into consideration the following: location, quality, age, floor levels, common area factors, finish allowances, rental abatements, parking charges, lease assumptions, refurbishment allowances, credit standing of tenant, lease term and any other terms that would be relevant in making a market rate determination.

Disagreement on the prevailing fair market rate shall be decided by binding arbitration as follows:

 

  (a) A board of appraisers consisting of three persons shall be selected, one appointed by Landlord, one by Tenant, and the third appointed by the first two appraisers. Each appraiser must be a certified MAI Appraiser with at least five (5) years of experience in the local rental real estate market.

 

  (b) Upon the appointment of an appraiser by one party, the other party shall appoint its appraiser within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of the appointment of the first appraiser. The third appraiser shall be appointed within ten (10) days after the second appraiser has been appointed. If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to appoint a qualified and willing appraiser within the time specified, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall set as the sole appraiser thereunder. If for any reason a third appraiser is not appointed within ten (10) days, then, at the instance of either party, such appointment shall be made by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County, or if he is unable or unwilling to so act, by any other Judge of said court willing to so act.

 

  (c) The appraisers shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises as of the date above stated. In determining such fair rental value, the appraiser shall take into account current real estate values and going rental rates for comparable premises in comparable locations in the Seattle Metropolitan Area and all other circumstances ordinarily regarded by real estate appraisers as material.

 

  (d) The determination of the appraisers, or a majority thereof, shall be made in writing within fifteen (15) business days after the appointment of appraisers has been completed thereunder. Such determination of the fair rental value by the appraisers thereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

 

  (e) Fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant. The fees of the appraisers appointed by each party shall be paid by that party.

 

4. Right of First Opportunity for Expansion Space.

Landlord shall grant to Tenant an on-going Right of First Opportunity (“ROFO”) on all available space in the Building to lease space on either a partial floor or full floor basis.

Whenever any portion of the ROFO space becomes available for lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of availability, which notice shall state the date when Tenant could begin renovation of the offered space and the terms upon which the space is being offered to the market. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days to accept Landlord’s offer by designating in writing the portion of the offered space accepted by Tenant. Tenant’s failure to respond timely shall constitute a rejection of Landlord’s offer. If Tenant does not accept the offer, and Landlord does not, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the fifteen (15) day period, lease the offered space to a third party, or if any such space shall be leased to another tenant and again become available for lease, then the space shall again be subject to Tenant’s ROFO.

The accepted space shall be leased on the terms and conditions of the Lease including (i) that the term for the accepted space shall be the balance of the term of the Lease, as the same may be extended by exercise of an Option or otherwise, and (ii) Landlord shall provide Tenant with additional parking spaces in the same ratio as provided for the original Premises.

5. Rooftop Access.

Tenant shall have rooftop access for Tenant’s rooftop or communications equipment with Landlord’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to obtaining rooftop access, Landlord and Tenant shall sign a “Satellite Dish Agreement” substantially in the format as Exhibit F.

 

6. Compliance with Law.

Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, and to the best of its knowledge, shall ensure that the Premises and the Building are in compliance at lease commencement with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to, ADA. This assurance does not cover Tenant related furniture, fixtures, equipment, data cabling and other items in the control of the Tenant.

 

7. Nondisturbance.

So long as Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent, or the performance of any other terms, covenants, or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, Tenant’s possession under the Lease and Tenant’s rights and privileges thereunder, or under any extensions or renewals thereof that may be affected in accordance with any option contained in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by any mortgage, deed of trust or other liens procured or entered into by Landlord, and Tenant’s occupancy shall not be disturbed by any mortgagee, trustee or lender during the term of the Lease or and such extensions or renewals thereof. In addition, in the event the Premises are sold, Landlord shall require any buyer to be bound by the terms and conditions of this paragraph.

 

8. Security for the Lease

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that at the time of signing of this Lease Tenant has reported financial liquidity and the Landlord has relied upon this current level of liquidity when entering into this Lease and in constructing the improvements outlined in the Work Letter for the Premises to be occupied by the Tenant. However if Tenant’s reported financial results during months 25-48 show cash and long and short-term investments falling below $15 million, then Tenant shall increase Tenant’s security deposit to $1 million dollars. Or after month 48 if Tenant’s reported financial results during months 49-72 show cash and long and short -term investments falling below $15 million then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a Letter of Credit in form acceptable to Landlord in the amount of $1 million dollars as additional security and convertible to cash in favor of Landlord in the event of a Tenant default and added to Tenant’s Security Deposit if any. Landlord may use such funds to cure any material default or breach of the Lease. Landlord will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages incurred by Tenant arising from a claim that Landlord violated the bankruptcy code’s automatic stay in connection with any application by Landlord of any proceeds. The Landlord’s liability under the aforementioned circumstances being limited to the reimbursement of direct costs as and to the extent expressly provided in the Lease. Nothing in this Lease or in the Letter of Credit will confer upon the Tenant any property rights or interests in the proceeds; provided however, that upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, so long as there then exists no defaults hereunder, Landlord agrees to return any unapplied balance of the proceeds held by Landlord and the Letter of Credit itself (if not previously drawn) to the issuing bank.

Notwithstanding, in the event Tenant were to execute a transaction using cash and long and short-term investments, the Tenant would have three months to increase cash and short and long-term investments above the threshold. If, after the three month period, the cash and short and long-term investment balance did not equal or exceed the threshold, Tenant would be required to increase the deposit as provided for above.
