1. RENT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR base rent at the annual and monthly rates set forth below, drawn on a U.S. bank, payable in advance in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month, without offset or deduction except as otherwise provided in this Lease.

(LESSOR shall pay all real estate taxes to the appropriate taxing authority when the same are due and payable and any betterments assessed shall be paid on an installment basis for the maximum period of time permitted by law. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize real estate taxes. LESSOR shall promptly pay LESSEE its equitable share of any refunds, abatements or credits of real estate taxes received by LESSOR [less LESSOR’s reasonable expenses in obtaining the same] for any year with respect to which LESSEE has paid its share of real estate taxes.)
5. UTILITIES. LESSOR shall provide equipment and utilities per reasonable Building standards to heat and cool the leased premises in season which equipment may be used by LESSEE on a 365/24/7 basis. LESSEE shall pay all charges for all separately metered utilities used at the leased premises including electricity and natural gas. LESSOR shall, at no additional charge and as part of Landlord’s Work, provide LESSEE complete, unhindered 365/24/7 access to the telecommunications POP in an alarmed and locked room in the Building.

In all instances, LESSOR shall use best efforts to remedy the cause of said interruption.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

LESSEE shall be responsible for causing the non-structural portions of the leased premises (other than Landlord’s Work) and any alterations by LESSEE allowed hereunder to be in full compliance with any applicable statute, regulation, ordinance or bylaw. LESSOR, at LESSOR’s sole cost and expense, shall be 100% responsible for the repair of all latent defects in the Building (including, without limitation, Landlord’s Work) over the term of the Lease and option period.

4


 

the Permitted Uses. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, LESSOR and LESSEE hereby release each other from any and all liability or responsibility to the other (or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any loss or damage to property caused by fire or any of the all-risk coverage casualties (whether either party has such insurance in effect or not), even if such fire or other casualties shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible. LESSOR and LESSEE each hereby agrees that its policies of insurance will include such a clause or endorsement. Each party shall be responsible for its own deductibles and retentions.
9. SIGNS. LESSEE, at LESSEE’s expense, may erect signage for the leased premises in accordance with Building standards for style, size, wording, design, now or hereafter made by LESSOR. LESSEE shall obtain LESSOR’s prior written consent before erecting any sign, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. LESSOR may, at LESSEE’s expense, remove and dispose of any sign not approved, erected, maintained or displayed in conformance with this Lease. LESSEE hereby agrees that LESSEE may, at its own cost and expense, install (in locations mutually agreeable to LESSOR and LESSEE) Building-standard signage identifying LESSEE and its logo on the exterior of the Building and on the Building’s pylon sign.
10. MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES. Except as otherwise provided below, LESSOR will be responsible for the good structural maintenance of the entire Building, its common areas, parking areas and structural components in the leased premises and for the good maintenance of the roof, heating and cooling equipment, doors, locks, plumbing and electrical wiring, but specifically excluding damage caused by the careless, malicious, willful or negligent acts of LESSEE or water damage from any source, except as a result of LESSOR’s acts or omissions. LESSEE agrees to maintain at its expense all non-structural aspects of the leased premises in the same condition as they are at the commencement of the Lease term or as they may be put in with LESSOR’s written consent during the term of this Lease, normal wear and tear, damage by fire, other casualty or LESSOR’s breach of its Lease obligations only excepted, and whenever necessary, to replace light bulbs. All waste from the leased premises shall be deposited in appropriate receptacles. LESSEE shall be solely responsible for any damage to plumbing equipment, sanitary lines or any other portion of the Building which results solely from the improper discharge or use of any substance by LESSEE. LESSEE shall not permit the leased premises to be overloaded, damaged, stripped or defaced, nor suffer any waste, and will not keep animals within the leased premises. Any increase in heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing or electrical equipment or capacity, and any installation or maintenance of any “non-building standard” leasehold improvements or equipment which is associated with some specific aspect of LESSEE’s use, whether installed by LESSOR, LESSEE or a prior occupant, shall be, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, LESSEE’s sole responsibility, at LESSEE’s expense, and subject to LESSOR’s prior written consent. All maintenance provided by LESSOR shall be during LESSOR’s normal business hours except in an emergency. If LESSOR shall fail to make any repairs which LESSOR shall be required to make under this Lease or is otherwise in default of its obligations, and if such repairs shall not be made by LESSOR or such default cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from LESSEE setting forth the need for such repairs or other LESSOR action (or such shorter period of time as shall be reasonable under the circumstances, in the event of an emergency, or in the event the failure

5


 

to make the repair shall cause damage to the leased premises, or interference with LESSEE’s business operations), which notice shall advise LESSOR of LESSEE’s intention to make such repairs on LESSOR’s behalf, then, if such repairs are not timely made by LESSOR, LESSEE shall be permitted to make such repairs on behalf, and for the account, of LESSOR, and LESSEE shall be permitted to offset the reasonable cost of such repairs together with the highest legal rate of interest against all rent and additional rent due under the Lease.
11. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE. Provided LESSEE is not in default of any terms or conditions hereof beyond the expiration of applicable grace, notice or cure periods, LESSEE may assign this Lease or sublet to any subsidiary or affiliate of LESSEE, or to any entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or ownership interests in LESSEE, or to any entity into which LESSEE may merge (collectively, a “Permitted Transferee”) without the prior written consent of LESSOR. Any public offering of shares of LESSEE on a public exchange or issuance of additional shares of the LESSEE entity shall not be considered an assignment requiring LESSOR consent. LESSEE shall not otherwise assign this Lease or sublet or allow any other non-affiliated entity or individual other than a Permitted Transferee to occupy the whole or any part of the leased premises without LESSOR’s prior written consent in each and every instance, which consent shall be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding LESSOR’s consent to any assignment or sublease, LESSEE shall remain liable to LESSOR for the payment of all rent and for the full performance of all covenants and conditions of this Lease.
12. ALTERATIONS. LESSEE shall not make structural alterations or improvements of any kind to the leased premises, but may make nonstructural alterations or improvements with LESSOR’s prior written consent. All such allowed alterations, additions and improvements shall be at LESSEE’s expense and shall conform to LESSOR’s building standards and construction specifications. If LESSOR or its agent provides any services or maintenance for LESSEE at LESSEE’s written request in connection with such alterations, additions and improvements or otherwise under this Lease, LESSEE will promptly pay any just invoice based on a previously mutually agreed bid estimate. LESSEE shall not permit any mechanics’ liens, or similar liens, to remain upon the leased premises in connection with any work performed or claimed to have been performed at the direction of LESSEE and shall cause any such lien to be released, removed or bonded against forthwith without cost to LESSOR. Any alterations, additions and improvements shall become part of the leased premises and the property of LESSOR. LESSOR shall have the right at any time to make additions to the Building, change the arrangement of parking areas, stairs or walkways, or otherwise alter common areas or the exterior of the building. Without LESSOR’s consent: LESSEE may make non-structural alterations/improvements costing less than $250,000. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, LESSEE shall have no obligation at the expiration or earlier termination of the term to restore or remove any portion of any improvements or alterations made by LESSEE that were approved by LESSOR. In exercising any rights of entry into the leased premises or to make additions, changes or alterations to the Building or common areas described in this Lease, LESSOR shall use best efforts to minimize any inconvenience to LESSEE, or any interference with LESSEE’s use of the leased premises, LESSEE’s business operations, LESSEE’s means of ingress thereto and egress therefrom, LESSEE’s parking spaces, LESSEE’s signage and visibility, and LESSOR shall carry out such repairs or other work and exercise such rights promptly and diligently and promptly prevent other tenants from so interfering with LESSEE.

LESSOR shall provide LESSEE with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any intended repairs, or other work, except in the case of an emergency when no notice shall be required. LESSOR acknowledges that such repairs, work or other access may interfere with LESSEE’s business operations or be intrusive to LESSEE’s employees, and agrees, except in case of emergency to (i) consult with LESSEE or, in the case of any work to be performed within the leased premises, obtain LESSEE’s prior, written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) make reasonable efforts to schedule any such repairs, work or other access in such manner, at such times and in such locations as to create the least practicable interference with LESSEE’s business operations.
13. LESSOR’S ACCESS. LESSOR and its agents and designees may at any reasonable time enter to view the leased premises; to show the leased premises to others; to make repairs and alterations as LESSOR or its designee should elect to do for the leased premises, the common areas, or any other portions of the building; and without creating any obligation or liability for LESSOR, but at LESSEE’s expense, to make repairs which LESSEE is required but has failed to do after reasonable prior written notice to the LESSEE from LESSOR.
14. SNOW REMOVAL. The plowing and shoveling of snow from all walkways and parking areas shall be at the sole expense of LESSOR.
15. LIABILITY. Except as provided in the mutual waiver of subrogation in Section 8 above, LESSEE shall be responsible as between LESSOR and LESSEE for deaths or personal injuries to all persons and damage to any property, occurring in or on the leased premises (including any common areas as described below) to the extent arising out of the use, control, condition or occupancy of the leased premises caused by LESSEE, except for death, personal injuries or property damage resulting from LESSOR’s negligence, acts, omissions, misconduct, breach of its Lease obligations or its violations of law. LESSEE agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LESSOR from any and all liability, including but not limited to costs, expenses, damages, causes of action, claims, judgments and reasonable attorney’s fees caused by or in any way arising out of any of the aforesaid matters. All common areas, including but not limited to any stairs, corridors, roofs, walkways and elevators (herein collectively called the common areas) shall be considered a part of the leased premises for liability and insurance purposes but only when they are used by LESSEE or LESSEE’s employees, agents, callers or invitees.
16. INSURANCE. LESSEE shall secure and carry at its own expense a commercial general liability policy insuring LESSEE and LESSOR against any claims based on bodily injury (including death) or property damage arising out of the condition of the leased premises (including any common areas as described above) or their use by LESSEE, such policy to insure LESSEE, LESSOR against any claim up to $3,000,000 for each occurrence involving bodily injury (including death), and $1,000,000 for each occurrence involving damage to property. This insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any insurance carried by LESSOR, whose insurance shall be considered excess. LESSOR shall be included in each such policy as an additional insured using a form approved by LESSOR, and each such policy shall be written by or with a company or companies satisfactory to LESSOR. Prior to occupancy, LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR certificates and any applicable riders or endorsements showing that such insurance is in force, and thereafter will provide renewal certificates at least 15 days prior to the expiration of any such policies. All such insurance certificates shall provide that such policies

7


 

shall not be cancelled without at least 10 days’ prior written notice to each insured. If LESSEE fails to provide or maintain such insurance at any time during the term of this Lease, LESSOR may elect to contract for such insurance after reasonable prior written notice to LESSEE, and LESSEE shall pay LESSOR any costs that LESSEE would incur for such insurance in complying with this section, plus LESSOR’s administrative expenses.
17. BROKERAGE. Each party warrants and represents to the other party that it has dealt with no broker or third person with respect to this Lease other than Malone Commercial and the Boulos Company whose fees will be paid by LESSOR. If either party introduces a broker or third person on its behalf for any subsequent extension, renewal or expansion of this Lease, any fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of the party engaging such broker or third person.
18. SUBORDINATION. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages and other instruments in the nature of a mortgage, now or at any time hereafter, and LESSEE shall, when requested, promptly execute and deliver such written instruments as shall be necessary to show the subordination of this Lease to said mortgages or other such instruments in the nature of a mortgage.
19. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF RENT. In the event that (a) any assignment for the benefit of creditors, trust mortgage, receivership or other insolvency proceeding shall be made or instituted with respect to LESSEE or LESSEE’s property or (b) LESSEE shall default in the observance or performance of any of LESSEE’s covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder (except payment of rent or other substantial sums due from LESSEE) and such default shall not be corrected within 30 days after written notice thereof, (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances) or (c) LESSEE shall default in the payment of rent and such default continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof then LESSOR shall have the right thereafter, while such default continues and without demand or further notice, to re-enter and take possession of the leased premises, to declare the term of this Lease ended, and/or to remove LESSEE’s effects, without being guilty of trespass or conversion, and without prejudice to any remedies which might be otherwise used for arrears of rent or other default or breach of the Lease. If LESSOR terminates this Lease and obtains a court judgment against LESSEE for non-payment of rent, taxes or any substantial invoice from LESSOR, then the net present value of the entire balance of rent due hereunder as of the date of LESSOR’s notice, discounted by using the published prime rate then in effect plus two (2%) percent less the aggregate projected market value for the leased premises for the remaining balance of the term shall immediately become due and payable as liquidated damages. No actions taken by LESSOR under this section shall terminate LESSEE’s obligation to pay rent under this Lease, as liquidated damages or otherwise. Any sums received by LESSOR from or on behalf of LESSEE at any time shall be applied first to any unamortized improvements completed for LESSEE’s occupancy, then to offset any unpaid invoice or other payment due to LESSOR and then to unpaid rent. LESSEE shall pay any invoice within 10 days after receipt. LESSEE shall also pay LESSOR interest at the rate of the Wall Street Journal “prime rate” plus two (2%) percent per annum on any past due payment. LESSOR shall use reasonable effort to mitigate its damages and relet the leased premises.

If LESSEE continues to occupy, control or encumber all or any part of the leased premises after the termination of this Lease without the written permission of LESSOR, this Lease shall continue to apply, except that use and occupancy payments shall be due in full monthly installments at a rate which shall be one and one-half times the greater of the monthly rent due under this Lease immediately prior to termination or LESSOR’s then current published rent for the leased premises, it being understood that such extended occupancy is a tenancy at sufferance, solely for the benefit and convenience of LESSEE and of greater rental value. LESSOR’s acceptance of any payments from LESSEE during such extended occupancy shall not alter LESSEE’s status as a tenant at sufferance.

26. SURRENDER. On or before the termination of this Lease, LESSEE shall remove all of LESSEE’s goods and effects from the leased premises, and shall deliver to LESSOR actual and exclusive possession of the leased premises and all keys and locks thereto, and all alterations, additions and improvements made to or upon the leased premises, whether completed by LESSEE, LESSOR or others, including but not limited to any offices, window blinds, floor coverings, computer floors, plumbing and plumbing fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, ductwork, exhaust fans, water coolers, security, surveillance and fire protection systems, telecommunications and data wiring, telephone equipment, air and gas distribution piping, compressors, cabinets, counters, shelving, signs, electrical work, including but not limited to lighting fixtures of any type, wiring, conduit, EMT, transformers, generators, distribution panels, bus ducts, raceways, outlets and disconnects, and furnishings and equipment which have been bolted, welded, nailed, screwed, glued or otherwise attached to any wall, floor, ceiling, roof, pavement or ground, or which have been directly wired or plumbed to any portion of any building or other system serving the leased premises, including but not limited to water supply, drainage, venting or air or gas distribution systems.

Any of LESSEE’s property that remains in the leased premises upon termination of the Lease shall be deemed abandoned and shall be disposed of as LESSOR sees fit, with no liability to LESSEE for loss or damage thereto, and at the sole risk of LESSEE. LESSOR may remove and store any such property at LESSEE’s expense; retain same under LESSOR’s control; sell same at public or private sale (without notice) and apply the net proceeds of such sale to the payment of any sum due hereunder; or destroy same.

28. SECURITY AGREEMENT. Intentionally Deleted.
29. WAIVERS, ETC. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by either party to or of any breach of any covenant, condition or duty of the other party shall be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition or duty. If LESSEE is several persons, corporations, or other legal entities, or a partnership, or some combination thereof, LESSEE’s obligations are joint and several. Unless repugnant to the context, “LESSOR” and “LESSEE” mean the person or persons, natural or corporate, named above as LESSOR and as LESSEE respectively, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
30. TWO-YEAR EXTENSION OPTION. This Lease, including all terms, conditions, escalations, etc. may be extended for one additional successive period of two years if LESSEE serves written notice to LESSOR of LESSEE’s exercise of its option to so extend the Lease. The time for serving such written notice shall be not more than twelve (12) months or less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease term. Time is of the essence. In the event LESSEE exercises its option to so extend the term of the Lease, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish 95% of the then fair market rental to be paid as base rent for the leased premises for the extended term. In the event that the parties are, within thirty (30) days after LESSOR’s receipt of LESSEE’s notice of its election to extend the term, unable to agree on the fair market rental, each party shall within thirty (30) days thereafter, select an appraiser, and the two appraisers shall, within ten (10) days following their selection, select a third appraiser. Within thirty (30) days of the final selection of the appraisers, they shall determine and report in writing to the parties their agreed judgment of 95% of the fair market rental (for buildings on Mollison Way, Lewiston that are not owned by Landlord or its affiliated entities) to be payable during the extended term and such amount shall thereupon be the base rent therefor and the base year for computing rent, taxes and operating expense escalations shall be changed to calendar year 2017. If appraisal is required, the cost therefor shall be borne equally by the parties. Each appraiser shall be a disinterested person with at least ten (10) years professional experience as a licensed real estate appraiser. Fair market rental shall not take into account the value of any leasehold improvements made by LESSOR or LESSEE but shall take into consideration all rent concessions, improvements and moving allowances, and all other concessions being offered to new tenants as well as any brokerage savings realized by LESSOR for a renewal versus a new lease.

LESSOR shall own the UPS and generator but LESSEE shall have exclusive use and maintenance of said equipment for the entire term of this Lease and any extension thereof. If LESSOR shall fail to so furnish and install said UPS and generator by November 30, 2011 then LESSEE may, at its option, purchase and install said equipment and LESSEE shall be entitled to offset against all rent payable hereunder two (2) times LESSEE’s cost to furnish and install said equipment plus an administrative charge of fifteen (15%) percent of said amount.

Lessee shall notify Lessor of such termination at least six (6) full calendar months prior to the effective date of termination and shall include with such notice a termination fee equivalent to the then unamortized balance (based on sixty (60) months) of all Landlord’s Work and brokerage commissions paid by LESSOR under this Lease and excluding LESSOR’s share of the cost of the generator and UPS equipment above. LESSOR shall inform LESSEE of the amount of the brokerage fees and the costs of Landlord’s Work by January 31, 2012.

6.   For each day after June 1, 2011 until the date that LESSOR fully completes Landlord’s Work concerning the portion of the leased premises on the second floor and delivers full possession of said portion of the leased premises (“Delay”) LESSEE shall be entitled to rent credit (to be applied toward the first rent due) equal to two (2) days of rent for each day of Delay (i.e. 13,486 x $12 = $161,832 ¸ 365 = $443.38 x 2 = $886.76 for each day of Delay).
 
7.   LESSEE shall have a continuing right of first refusal on any other space that becomes available for lease from LESSOR during the term of this Lease and any extension thereof in the Building and in the other buildings on Mollison Way owned by Landlord or its affiliated entities.
 
8.   LESSOR shall provide a reasonable non-disturbance agreement (“NDA”) from each of the current mortgages of the Building (which LESSOR warrants and represents are only Bangor Savings Bank and the City of Lewiston) in a form and content reasonably acceptable to LESSEE, within 30 days of LESSEE’s execution of this Lease. If LESSOR shall fail to deliver an NDA from either of such mortgagees within 60 days of LESSEE’s execution of this Lease, then for each day after such sixtieth (60th) day until the date that LESSOR delivers the missing NDA, LESSEE shall be entitled to a rent credit (to be applied toward the first rent due) equal to all the rent then due under the Lease. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, LESSEE’s obligation to subordinate to any future mortgage lender is expressly conditioned upon said future lender first providing LESSEE with such an NDA.
 
9.   LESSOR warrants and represents that it is not aware of any environmental hazards presently existing at the leased premises and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless LESSEE against any responsibility for any hazardous materials or hazardous substances which may be present provided such materials were not introduced by LESSEE or LESSEE’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees.

In the event LESSOR fails to consent to or approve of, or not to consent to or to disapprove of any item requiring consent or approval within ten (10) days (or such shorter period as set forth in this Lease) following LESSEE’s request, LESSOR shall be deemed to have approved or consented to same.
