THIS LEASE (“Lease”) is made and executed this 30th day of April, 2012, between 4741 Talon Court L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company, of One Riverfront Plaza, 55 Campau Ave NW, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503, as “Landlord”, and Corium International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, of 4558 50th Street SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49512, as “Tenant”.

 

1.                                      Leased Premises.  Landlord is the owner of the real property, including the building situated thereon (the “Building”) located at 4741 Talon Ct., in the City of Kentwood, Kent County, Michigan and more particularly described on attached Exhibit A (the “Property”).  Landlord LETS AND LEASES to Tenant, and Tenant HIRES AND LEASES from Landlord, the entire Building containing approximately 67,375 square feet of floor area (the “Leased Premises”), at the rents and under the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.

 

2.                                      Purpose of Occupancy.  Tenant shall occupy and use the Leased Premises for office and warehousing purposes in connection with its pharmaceutical development and manufacturing business and for any related purpose, but for no other purpose without the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Leased Premises shall not be used for any purpose which would violate any law, ordinance, rule or regulation or the terms of any restrictive covenant applicable to the Building, nor in any way to create any nuisance or trespass, nor in any way to violate the terms of a standard form policy of insurance or increase the rate of insurance under any such policy of insurance on the Building or the Leased Premises.

 

3.                                      Term of Lease: Renewal Term.  The term of this Lease (the “term”) shall commence on May 1, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”), and shall continue for three (3) years thereafter unless sooner terminated as provided in this Lease.  Tenant may occupy the Leased Premises upon execution of the Lease and prior to the Commencement Date with no net rental payments due.  Except as otherwise provided under this Lease, Tenant’s taking possession of the Leased Premises shall constitute Tenant’s acceptance of the Leased Premises in their “as is” condition, subject only to the other terms and conditions of this Lease.  At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord the Acceptance of Premises form attached to this Lease as Exhibit B.  Tenant’s acceptance of the Leased Premises in their “as is” condition by taking possession, as set forth above, shall not be affected by the failure of the Landlord to request, or the failure of the Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord, said Acceptance of Premises form.

 

Provided Tenant is not then in default in the performance of any of its covenants and agreements under this Lease, Tenant may renew this Lease for one (1) additional two (2) year term (“renewal term”), upon the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease except as to rent which shall be adjusted as provided in Paragraph 4, below.  In order to exercise such renewal option, Tenant shall serve Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s election to renew not less than four (4) months prior to the end of the term of this Lease or each renewal term, as the case may be.

 



 

4.                                      Rent.  Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord as rent for the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease and any renewal term as follows:

 

(a)                                 Base Rent.  As base rent (“Base Rent”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to $225,000.00 per year, payable in equal monthly installments of $18,750.00, subject, however, to adjustment as provided under Paragraph 4(b), below.  Base Rent shall be paid in advance on the first day of each month during the term and any renewal term of this Lease; provided, however, that Base Rent for the first full month of the term of this Lease shall be paid upon the execution of this Lease.  Moreover, in the event the Commencement Date is any day other than the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Commencement Date a prorated portion of the monthly Base Rent for the period from the Commencement Date to the first day of the following month.

 

(b)                                 CPI Adjustments.  The Base Rent paid by Tenant shall be adjusted upward, but never downward, effective as of the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (or the first day of the thirteenth month after the Commencement Date in the event the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month) and on the same day of each year thereafter during the term and any renewal term of this Lease to reflect the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index (All Cities, All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-1984=100) (subsequently referred to as “CPI-U”) or its successor Consumer Price Index, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.  This adjustment shall be computed by adding to the Base Rent an amount determined as follows: i) the CPI-U index number for the second month preceding the Commencement Date (“Initial Index Number”) shall be subtracted from the CPI-U index number for the second month immediately preceding the effective date of increase; ii) the resulting amount shall be divided by the Initial Index Number and reduced to a decimal equivalent; the resulting decimal shall be multiplied by the Base Rent.  The Base Rent, as adjusted, shall be paid in equal monthly installments as provided in Paragraph 4(a), above.

 

If the CPI-U is changed so that the base year differs from that used for the Initial Index Number, the CPI-U shall be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.  If the CPI-U is discontinued or revised during the term of this Lease or any renewal term, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same results as would be obtained if the CPI-U had not been discontinued or revised.

 

(c)                                  Additional Rent.  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent (“additional rent”) its pro rata share of the operating expenses for the Property, Building and Improvements (the “Operating Expenses”).  Tenant’s pro rata share shall be based upon the ratio of the number of square feet of floor area of the Leased Premises to the number of square feet of leasable floor area in the Building, which is approximately 67,375 square feet.  Consequently, Tenant’s pro rata share of Operating Expenses shall be 100.00 percent.  As used herein, “Improvements” means any capital improvement defined as such in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

As used in this Paragraph 4, “Operating Expenses” shall include all costs of operating and maintaining the Property, Building and Improvements, including, without limitation, the following costs and expenses incurred by Landlord: all property taxes and assessments, real, general and special; utility costs and expenses including water, sewer, electricity, gas and other sources of power for heating, lighting, ventilating or air conditioning, except when separately billed to a tenant of the Building; insurance premiums; janitorial services contracted for by Landlord and/or wages, salaries, property management fees, and applicable taxes on the employer for services related to the Property, Building and Improvements performed by Landlord’s employees; supplies consumed in connection with cleaning, maintenance and repair; snow removal, lawn care, landscaping, parking, and other exterior grounds maintenance and repair; and all installation, maintenance, repair and replacement costs.  “Operating Expenses” shall not include any alterations to meet the specific needs of other tenants of the Building, the cost of any capital improvements defined as such in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or leasing commissions, if any.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Operating Expenses shall not include: (i) depreciation; (ii) mortgage and loan fees, costs, interest and payments; (iii) office, overhead or administrative expenses; (iv) wages, salaries or benefits payable to employees of Landlord or any person or entity related to Landlord or Landlord’s officers, partners or members with the exception of the management fee paid to a related party, Covenant Properties, LLC, which is limited to 2.5% of base rents.

allowances received or receivable by Landlord for items included in Operating Expenses, other than reimbursements received from tenants and occupants of the Property.

 

Such additional rent shall be computed on the basis of each calendar year and shall be adjusted as of January 1 of each year during the term of this Lease.  Tenant shall pay its share of the Operating Expenses in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month, in advance, in an amount estimated by Landlord each year without any deduction or setoff whatsoever beginning on the Commencement Date of this Lease.  Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall famish Tenant with a written statement itemizing the Operating Expenses for that calendar year, and a written statement of the amount of the Tenant’s share of said Operating Expenses.  If the total amount paid by Tenant for the prior calendar year shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant for that year, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written notice, pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due; if the total amount paid by Tenant for the prior calendar year exceeds the actual amount due from Tenant for that year, Tenant shall receive a credit for such amount against Base Rent or additional rent to become due under this Lease, or if the Lease term has expired, a refund of such excess from Landlord.

 

Landlord shall maintain at its offices complete records and invoices of the Operating Expenses for eighteen (18) months following such expenditure.  At any time within six (6) months after receipt of any annual statement, Tenant may audit the Operating Expenses, including without limitation, inspecting invoices and records and the work performed, and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in such audit.  If such audit shows that the statement included Operating Expenses not permitted or in excess of that permitted under this Lease, Tenant may deduct the overpayment, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined below), from the Operating Expenses thereafter billed.  If such audit shows that the Operating Expenses were more than two percent (2%) higher than that permitted under this Lease, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of such audit, failing which Tenant may deduct such cost, with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the Operating Expenses thereafter billed.

 

The additional rent is estimated to be $1.20 per square foot, or $6,737.50 per month for calendar year 2012.

 

(d)                                 Payment.  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the monthly installments of Base Rent, additional rent, and all other sums payable under this Lease by Tenant, shall be paid to Landlord at Landlord’s address set forth above, or at such other address as Landlord may direct by written notice, without setoff, counter claim, recoupment, abatement, suspension or deduction.

23.                               Holding Over.  In the event Tenant shall continue to occupy all or any part of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the term, or any renewal term of this Lease with the consent of Landlord, such holding over shall be deemed to constitute a tenancy from month to month, upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except as to term; provided, however, if such holding over is without Landlord’s written consent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent for each month, or part of a month, that Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises, one hundred twenty five percent (125%) the monthly Base Rent amount in effect immediately prior to the date of termination.

 

24.                               Assignment and Sublease.  Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublease all or any part of the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any assignment or sublease (a) that is a concession or license given to any parent, subsidiary or affiliated company in the ordinary course of operating the Leased Premises as the initial use, any subsequent use by Tenant, or any use by a transferee to whom Landlord has previously consented; (b) to any parent, subsidiary or entity related or affiliated with Tenant; (c) made as part of a merger, consolidation or reorganization of Tenant, or of a transferee to whom Landlord has consented or, transfer as part of the sale of the stock of, an interest in or the assets or property of Tenant or of a transferee to whom Landlord has consented; or (d) that involves the sale or transfer of a majority of the equity ownership interests in Tenant in a single transaction or as the result of a series of transactions at any time during the term or any renewal term of this Lease.  No assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Leased Premises, with or without the consent of Landlord, and no course of dealing or other actions of Landlord after any such assignment or sublease shall serve to release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease unless such release is expressly set forth in a separate written agreement signed by Landlord.  In addition, the granting of consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease in one case shall not constitute consent to any future assignment or sublease.

25.                               Subordination.  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages now in force, or which shall at any time be placed upon the Leased Premises or the Building or any part thereof, and to each and every advance made pursuant to any such mortgage.  Tenant agrees that it will upon demand execute and deliver such instruments as shall be required by any mortgagee or proposed mortgagee, to confirm or to effect more fully such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages.  Tenant’s refusal to execute or deliver such instrument shall also entitle Landlord, its successors and assigns, to elect that this Lease terminate upon the giving of a written notice as provided for hi Paragraph 17(c).  Such subordination shall be contingent upon Landlord or any mortgagee providing Tenant prior to the Commencement Date with a customary non-disturbance agreement that does not adversely increase Tenant’s obligations or adversely decrease Tenant’s rights and privileges under this Lease.  Such non-disturbance agreements shall be delivered to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after the date this Lease is fully executed (in the case of existing lenders) or at the time such items may arise (in the case of future leaders).

 

26.                               Attornment.  Upon request of the holder of any note secured by a mortgage on the Building, the Property or the Premises that has entered into the foregoing non-disturbance agreement, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage covering the Leased Premises, or in the event of the conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under any such mortgage, or in the event of the sale or transfer of the Leased Premises by Landlord, Tenant hereby attorns to the new owner and covenants and agrees to execute an instrument in writing reasonably satisfactory to the new owner whereby Tenant attorns to such successor in interest and recognizes such successor as Landlord under this Lease.

 

27.                               Sale or Transfer by Landlord.  If Landlord shall sell or transfer the Leased Premises, Landlord shall be automatically and entirely released of all covenants and obligations under this Lease from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, provided the purchaser on such sale has assumed and agreed to carry out all covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

 

28.                               Quiet Enjoyment.  On paying the Base Rent and additional rent and on performing all of the covenants and agreements on its part to be performed under the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the term, and for any renewal term, of this Lease.

 

29.                               Benefit and Obligation.  The benefits of this Lease shall accrue to, and the burdens of this Lease shall be the liabilities of the successors and assigns of Landlord and Tenant.

 

30.                               Notices.  All notices required under any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be properly served if delivered in writing personally, or sent by registered or certified mail to each party at their address as stated above or at such other address as each party shall designate in writing delivered to the other party.  All mailed notices shall be effective upon mailing.

 

13



 

31.                               Waiver.  The failure of either party to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver thereof or of the right of either party to enforce each and every covenant and condition of this Lease, and no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver is in writing.  One or more waivers of any covenant or condition by Landlord or Tenant shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant or condition nor shall the acceptance of Base Rent, additional rent or other payment by Landlord at any time when Tenant is in default under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease constitute a waiver of such default, nor shall any waiver or indulgence granted by either party be taken as an estoppel against the party granting the indulgence or waiver.

 

32.                               Unenforceability.  In the event any covenant, term, provision, obligation, agreement or condition of this Lease is held to be unenforceable, it is mutually agreed and understood, by and between the parties hereto, that the other covenants, terms, provisions, obligations, agreements and conditions herein contained shall remain in full force and effect

 

33.                               Captions.  All headings contained in this Lease are intended for convenience only and are not to be deemed or taken as a summary of the provisions to which they pertain or as a construction thereof.

 

34.                               Governing Law.  This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.  Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision o4 or based on any right arising out of, this Lease may only be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of Michigan, County of Kent, or in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan.  Each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts), whether acquired originally or by removal, in such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein.  Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

36.                               Tenant Finish Improvements: Additional Rent.  A reimbursable improvement allowance in the maximum amount of $150,000 shall be granted by Landlord to Tenant and utilized for various upgrades (“Finish Improvements”) to the Leased Premises including renovation of the existing office space and adding HVAC to the entire Building (“Improvement Allowance”).  The Finish Improvements shall also include the cleaning, repairing, painting and sealing of the floors within the Leased Premises, which shall be undertaken by Tenant.  The Improvement Allowance shall be available for reimbursement to Tenant at the execution of the Lease, subject to the Tenant providing Landlord with an appropriate sworn statement and lien waivers for the completed Finish Improvements.  Within ten (10) days of Landlord’s satisfactory receipt of such items from Tenant Landlord shall pay

 

14



 

Tenant for up to $150,000 of the cost of the Finish Improvements.  The plans and specifications for the Finish Improvements shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a proposed “punch list” of minor defects and repairs with respect to the Landlord improvements which are not the result of the acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors.  Subject to Landlord’s agreement with the proposed punch list items, all such items shall be completed by, and at the expense of, Landlord as soon as reasonably possible.

 

The Improvement Allowance shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant as follows:

 

As additional rent determined by amortizing the amount of the Improvement Allowance disbursed to Tenant over the next five years (5) beginning May 1, 2012 (“Tenant Finish Rent”).  Such amortization shall be at a per annum rate of interest equal to seven percent (7%), which results in a payment of $2,970.18 per month if the full Improvement Allowance is disbursed to Tenant.  Such Tenant Finish Rent shall be due and payable on the first day of each month during the initial term of this Lease and shall be paid in the same manner as Base Rent; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to pre-pay, in full or in part, any portion of the =amortized balance of the Tenant Finish Rent full at any time.  If Tenant does not exercise its two year renewal option after the initial term, or upon the earlier termination of this Lease as provided herein, the =amortized balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and any accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full to Landlord within ten (10) days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

37.                               Additional Covenants of Tenant.  Tenant shall not commit or allow any of the following acts to be committed by Tenant or its agents, employees, or invitees without the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the Landlord:
