except, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, for obligations that survive the expiration of the applicable lease or sublease pursuant to the terms of such lease or sublease.

 

6.                                       Lump Sum Rent.  dj Orthopedics has agreed to make an initial payment of rent (the “Lump Sum Rent”) under Section 5.9 of the New Lease and Smith & Nephew shall have no obligations to make any payment or any other consideration or contribute to the Lump Sum Rent.

 

7.                                       Refund of All or a Portion of the Lump Sum Rent.  Under the circumstances described in this Section and in the event the Lump Sum Rent has been paid under the New Lease, on February 20, 2008, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably necessary to make a final accounting, PRES (or its successors in interest as to the 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street, Vista, California) shall refund the “Excess Lump Sum Rent” (as hereinafter defined), if any, to dj Orthopedics.  As used herein, the term “Excess Lump Sum Rent” means the Lump Sum Rent paid pursuant to Section 5.9 of the New Lease after modifying the Lump Sum Rent as follows:

 

(a)                                  There shall be deducted from such amount PRES’ or its successors’ reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses (other than expenses with respect to tenant improvements) in leasing the buildings, or space within the buildings, located on 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street.  Such reasonable expenses shall include an “Equitable Portion” of any brokerage commission paid in connection with the obtaining of any new lease, license agreement or other agreement providing for use and occupancy (“Occupancy Agreement”).  The Equitable Portion shall be a portion of the total brokerage commission paid as to any such Occupancy Agreement (including payment to an affiliate of PRES or its successors as long as the total commission paid is commercially reasonable), such portion being the amount allocated to the period between the commencement date of such new Occupancy Agreement and February 20, 2008, the total commission being allocated proportionately over the base term of such Occupancy Agreement (without regard to options to extend the base term).

 

(b)                                 There shall be deducted from such amount a portion of any tenant improvements or any tenant improvement allowance paid by PRES or its successors, such portion being the amount thereof allocated to the period between the commencement date of the Occupancy Agreement and February 20, 2008, the total tenant improvements being allocated proportionately over the longer of (1) ten (10) years or (2) the base term of such Occupancy Agreement (without regard to options to extend the base term).

 

(c)                                  There shall be deducted from such amount “Lost Rent”, “Lost Taxes” and “Lost Insurance Premiums” suffered by PRES or its successors for the period between the Termination Date and February 20, 2008.  “Lost Rent” means the excess of (1) the rent that would have been paid by dj Orthopedics under the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease for such period; over (2) the rent or other consideration in lieu of rent (including key money and bonus money and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by PRES to New Tenant (as defined below) or assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by New Tenant (as defined below) to PRES in connection with the Occupancy Agreement) that PRES or its successors receives from any new tenant, licensee or occupant (each, a “New Tenant”) under an Occupancy Agreement(s) for such period.  Any “free rent” payable under an Occupancy Agreement shall be amortized over the base term (without regard to options to extend the base term) under any such Occupancy Agreement.  PRES agrees

that rental increases, if any, under any such Occupancy Agreement shall be commercially reasonable such that an artificially low rent is not charged during the portion of the term of the Occupancy Agreement prior to February 20, 2008 and an artificially high rent is charged for the period after the Termination Date.  “Lost Taxes” means the excess of (1) the real property taxes and general and special assessments payable on 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street that dj Orthopedics would have paid under the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease for such period; over (2) the real property taxes and general and special assessments paid on 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street paid by New Tenant(s) for such period.  “Lost Insurance Premiums” means the excess of (1) the insurance premiums that dj Orthopedics would have paid under the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease for such period; over (2) the insurance premiums paid on 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street by New Tenant(s) for such period.

 

(d)                                 There shall be added to such amount (1) to the extent not credited in the calculation of the Lump Sum Rent pursuant to Section 5.9 of the New Lease, if dj Orthopedics vacates all or a portion of 2980, 2985 or 3105 Scott Street early as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 7, the amount of any rent or other consideration in lieu of rent (including key money and bonus money and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by PRES to New Tenant or assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by New Tenant to PRES in connection with the Occupancy Agreement) that PRES or its successors earns from New Tenant(s) under an Occupancy Agreement(s) (such amounts being calculated by allocating the amount to be paid under such Occupancy Agreement evenly over the term of such Occupancy Agreement) with respect to all or a portion of 2980, 2985 or 3105 Scott Street for period before the Termination Date and (2) the amount of any “Excess Rent”, “Excess Taxes” and “Excess Insurance Premiums;” provided, however, that in no event will the amounts credited pursuant to this Section 7(d) exceed the amount of the Lump Sum Rent.  “Excess Rent” means the excess of (1) the rent or other consideration in lieu of rent (including key money and bonus money and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by PRES to New Tenant or assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by New Tenant to PRES in connection with the Occupancy Agreement) that PRES or its successors earns from New Tenant(s) under an Occupancy Agreement(s) for the period between the Termination Date and February 20, 2008 (such amounts being calculated by allocating the amount to be paid under any Occupancy Agreement evenly over the term of such Occupancy Agreement); over (2) the rent that would have been paid by dj Orthopedics under the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease.  “Excess Taxes” means the excess of (1) the real property taxes and general and special assessments payable on 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street paid by New Tenant(s) for the period between the termination of the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease and February 20, 2008; over (2) the real property taxes and general and special assessments payable on 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street that dj Orthopedics would have paid under the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease for such period.  “Excess Insurance Premiums” means the excess of (1) the insurance premiums paid by New Tenant(s) for the period between the termination of the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease and February 20, 2008; over (2) the insurance premiums that dj Orthopedics would have paid under the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease tenants for such period.

(e)                                  The Adjusted Base Rent (as defined in the New Lease) shall be recalculated to equal the rent that would have been paid under the “2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease” and the “2980 Scott Sublease” based on the escalation in rent amounts that actually would have occurred.  If (1) the Adjusted Base Rent as recalculated is less than (2) the Adjusted Base Rent as originally calculated in determining the Lump Sum Rent, then the Excess Lump Sum Rent shall be reduced by the difference between (2) and (1).  If (1) the Adjusted Base Rent as recalculated is greater than (2) the Adjusted Base Rent as originally calculated in determining the Lump Sum Rent, then the Excess Lump Sum Rent shall be increased by the difference between (1) and (2).

 

By way of example, assume that the Lump Sum Rent is Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00).  Assume further that PRES (or its successors) incur reasonable and customary expenses in leasing the buildings (other than brokerage commission) in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00).  Further assume that brokerage commission paid to obtain the new leases is Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) and that Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) of such amount is allocated to the period of time between the commencement date of the new leases and February 20, 2008 (as provided in paragraph (a) above).  Assume further that the tenant improvements and tenant improvement allowances paid by PRES (or its successor) as landlord under the new leases is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and that One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) of such amount is allocated to the period of time between the commencement date of the new leases and February 20, 2008 (as provided in paragraph (b) above).  Assume further that the “Lost Rent” is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (based upon rent payable by dj Orthopedics from the termination of the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease to February 20, 2008 being Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) and the rent paid by the new tenants under their leases for such period being Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00)).  Assume further that Landlord pays real property taxes and insurance premiums during such period for which it is not reimbursed by tenants in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Assume further that the Adjusted Base Rent (as recalculated as provided in paragraph (e) above) is $10,000 less than the Adjusted Base Rent as originally calculated in determining the Lump Sum Rent.  As a result of these assumptions, the total deduction from the Lump Sum Rent to determine the Excess Lump Sum Rent is One Million Two Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,265,000.00) and the Excess Lump Sum Rent is Seven Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($735,000.00).

 

In no event shall the Excess Lump Sum Rent exceed the Lump Sum Rent.

 

If a proposed Occupancy Agreement is (1) not on an arm’s length basis or (2) with an affiliate of PRES or its successors, PRES shall not enter into such Occupancy Agreement without the prior consent of dj Orthopedics, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  dj Orthopedics shall have the right to audit the books and records of PRES or its successors relating to the calculation of the Excess Lump Sum Rent, including a right to review any Occupancy Agreements, any brokers agreement(s) relating to such lease, real property tax bills and records relating to payment of insurance premiums.  In the event that dj Orthopedics desires to audit the books and records of PRES or its successors, it shall give written notice thereof to PRES or its successor within one hundred twenty (120) days following receipt of the Excess Lump Sum Rent or a statement from PRES or its successors that no Excess Lump Sum Rent is owing.  If dj Orthopedics fails to give such notice, it shall be deemed to have waived its right to

 

6



 

audit the books and records.  Any such audit shall be conducted within thirty (30) days after dj Orthopedics’ notice at the principal place of business of PRES or its successors and at a time mutually agreed to by the parties.

 

dj Orthopedics agrees to cooperate with PRES or its successors in their releasing efforts by making available (and vacating) any unused space within the 2980, 2985 and 3105 Scott Street buildings at the earliest date that is consistent with dj Orthopedics’ space needs as determined by dj Orthopedics in good faith.

 

8.                                       Waiver of Certain Rights.  Smith & Nephew and dj Orthopedics waive and relinquish any and all rights of first offer, rights of first refusal, options to purchase or similar rights, if any, under the Ground Lease, the 2985 and 3105 Scott Lease, the 2980 Scott Lease, the 2985 and 3105 Scott Sublease and the 2980 Scott Sublease, as applicable.
