Tenant shall exercise extreme care in handling any hazardous substances and shall not cause, or permit its employees, agents, or contractors to cause, hazardous substances to be spilled, leaked, disposed of or otherwise released on the Property. The term “hazardous substances” is used in its very broadest sense, and refers to materials which because of their quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may cause or pose a present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly handled, treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed. The term shall include, but is not limited to, all hazardous substances, hazardous materials and hazardous wastes listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the state in which the Property is located under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recover Act (RCRA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), and comparable state statutes.
b.Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, successors and assigns for, from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, fines, losses, costs (including the cost of compliance with any governmental order) and expenses (including attorneys’ fees at trial, on appeal and in connection with any petition for review) arising out of or in any way relating to Tenant’s breach of any covenant or warranty in this Section 3.3. In the event any action is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant shall resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel satisfactory to Landlord upon Landlord’s demand. The obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall include, without limitation, (a) reasonable costs incurred in connection with investigation of site conditions, (b) reasonable costs of any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision with respect to hazardous substances or infectious wastes, (c) reasonable sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant and laboratory fees and expert fees, and (d) the value of any loss of the use of the Property. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 3.3(b) shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease for any reason.
3.4No Offensive Activities. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any activities on the Property that create a nuisance or damage the reputation of the Property, or are reasonably offensive to Landlord, or other owners or users of adjoining property.
3.5Insurance Coverage. Tenant shall refrain from any use of the Property that would invalidate or impair the coverages afforded by any insurance maintained with respect to the Property and shall not allow the condition of the Property or Buildings to decline to a degree that would result in any insurance required under this Lease to be maintained by Tenant to no longer be available.
3.6Building Overloads. Tenant will refrain from doing anything on or about the Property that will cause an overload. If Landlord believes there is an overload, Landlord may select a qualified electrician whose opinion will control regarding any overload of electric circuits, or a qualified engineer or architect whose opinion will control regarding floor overloads or other stresses. Tenant will promptly comply with any actions recommended by the electrician, engineer or architect.
3.7Removal of Snow, Ice, and Debris. Tenant shall keep any sidewalks abutting the Property and entrances to Buildings free and clear of snow, ice, debris, and obstructions of every kind.

In performing such work, Tenant shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid damage to the roof.
3.8Signs. Except for existing signs located on the Property at the time this Lease commences, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior approval of the location, design, size, color, materials, and other details of any signs to be located on the Property, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Signs must be designed and constructed in compliance with city and county sign codes.

Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent, subject to the following conditions:
a.Any alteration or addition shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with applicable laws and building codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and in accordance with the orders, rules and regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters or any other body exercising similar functions.
b.The cost of any such alteration or addition shall be paid in cash, or its equivalent, so that the Property and all portions thereof shall at all times be free of liens for labor and materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Property. At least 15 days before commencing any work or delivery of any materials relating to any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Property, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the expected date of commencement of such work or the delivery of any such materials.

c.Tenant shall cause all of its contractors performing work on the Property to maintain, at such contractor’s sole cost and expense, Workers Compensation Insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the work, with respect to whom death or bodily injury claims could be asserted against Landlord or its successors in interest when any work is in process in connection with any such alteration or
addition. Such insurance shall be in a company or companies of recognized responsibility, licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located, and true copies of all policies or certificates therefor, issued by the respective insurers, bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of such payment, shall be delivered to Landlord.
d.Except as otherwise provided in the consent, all alterations, additions, improvements, and fixtures installed by Tenant (other than trade fixtures and equipment) shall become a part of the Property at the expiration of the term of the Lease and belong to Landlord.
e.The value of the Property upon completion of such alterations shall equal or exceed the value of the Property prior to such work.
f.Tenant will not permit any “visual art,” as defined in the Visual Artists Protection Act, to be constructed or installed at the Property without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned upon the artist executing a waiver of rights in form satisfactory to Landlord.

5.3Taxes in Lieu of Ad Valorem Tax. If a tax is assessed upon Landlord’s interest under this Lease which is in lieu of the ad valorem real property tax, then to the extent permitted by law, Tenant shall pay such tax.

6.LIABILITY TO THIRD PERSONS.
6.1Liens. Tenant shall pay as due all claims for work done on or for services rendered or material furnished to the Property, and shall keep the Property free from any liens other than liens created by Landlord, except that Tenant may withhold payment of any claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as Landlord’s property interest is not jeopardized. If Tenant fails to pay such claim or to discharge any lien, Landlord may do so and collect such amount as additional rent. Amounts paid by Landlord hereunder shall bear interest and be repaid by Tenant as provided in Section 11.4 below. Such payment by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy Landlord may have because of Tenant’s default.
6.2Contest by Tenant. If Tenant withholds payment of a claim and a lien is filed as a result of nonpayment, Tenant shall (within 10 days after knowledge of the filing) secure the discharge of the lien or deposit with Landlord cash or sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Landlord in
an amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any costs, attorneys’ fees, and other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien.
6.3Indemnification of Landlord.

In the event any action is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant shall resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel satisfactory to Landlord upon Landlord’s demand.
6.4Landlord’s Liability.

Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its officers, employees, agents and invitees, from the acts of third parties.
7.INSURANCE AND DAMAGE.
7.1Liability Insurance. Tenant shall continuously maintain at its expense commercial general liability insurance, written on an occurrence basis, in a company rated not less than A -, Class VII, in “Best’s Insurance Guide,” covering claims and liability for personal injury, death, or property damage with limits of not less than $25,000,000 per occurrence and $25,000,000 in the aggregate, or such higher limits as Landlord may reasonably specify from time to time. Such insurance shall name Landlord and the holder of any mortgage or trust deed on the Property (“Lender”) as additional insureds. If Tenant’s use of the Property includes any activity or matter that would be excluded from coverage under a commercial general liability policy, Tenant shall obtain such endorsements to the commercial general liability policy or otherwise obtain insurance to insure all liability arising from such activity or matter in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require.
7.2Property Damage Insurance. Tenant shall be responsible for insuring the Buildings and other improvements, and all personal property, equipment, and trade fixtures located on the Property. The Buildings and improvements shall be covered by property damage insurance covering all risks included under Causes of Loss - “Special Form” coverage, and such other risks (including earthquake and flood) as Landlord or any Lender may reasonably designate, on no less than a full replacement cost basis with agreed amount, replacement cost, ordinance or law coverage and inflation guard endorsements and with Rents Coverage for not less than 12 months rental under this Lease. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to reasonable and customary deductibles in such policies subject to the approval of any Lender. Landlord shall be named as additional insured and loss payee on such policy (with loss payee endorsement acceptable to Landlord) and loss shall be payable to Landlord or otherwise as required by any mortgage or trust deed in favor of Lender.
7.3Policies. All policies shall be in a form and with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord and any Lender, rated not less than A -, Class VII, in “Best’s Insurance Guide,” with Landlord shown as an additional insured. Tenant’s insurance shall provide primary coverage to Landlord when any policy issued to Landlord provides duplicate or similar coverage, and in such circumstance Landlord’s policy will be excess over Tenant’s policy. Tenant may carry such insurance under blanket policies; provided, however, such insurance by Tenant shall have a Landlord’s protective liability endorsement attached thereto. Certificates evidencing such insurance and a copy of such insurance policy(ies) shall be furnished to Landlord prior to commencement of the lease term. At least 30 days before expiration of any policy required by this Lease, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord proof of issuance of a policy or policies continuing the required coverages. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord receipts for the payment of premiums on such policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord a copy of such policy or policies. Tenant will cause each insurance policy Tenant is required under this Lease to maintain to include a requirement that the insurer give at least 30 days’ written notice to Landlord before any cancellation of such policy.
7.4Restoration of Damage. In case of damage or destruction to the Property there shall be no rent abatement. Tenant shall proceed to restore the Property promptly to a condition equivalent in function and value to that existing prior to the damage. To the extent insurance proceeds are made available by any Lender for restoration, Landlord shall hold such funds in an interest bearing account and shall disburse such proceeds and interest to Tenant as restoration progresses, up to the total cost of restoration, in a manner similar to that in which proceeds of a construction loan are customarily disbursed. After restoration is complete, any remaining insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord.
7.5Repair of Tenant’s Property. Repair, replacement, or restoration of any fixtures, equipment and personal property owned by Tenant, and tenant improvements shall be the responsibility of Tenant.
7.6Waiver of Subrogation. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss or damage which (a) would be insured against under the terms of any property insurance required to be carried under this Lease, or (b) is insured against under the terms of any property insurance actually carried, regardless of whether it is required under this Lease. Such waiver shall apply regardless of whether the claim is due to the negligence of a party or that parties’ agents, officers, employees or contractors.
8.CONDEMNATION.
If the entire Property is condemned, or if a portion is taken which causes the remainder to be unsuited to the use permitted under this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date upon which possession of the Property is taken by the condemning authority. Otherwise, Landlord shall proceed to make necessary repairs and alterations to the Property to permit Tenant to continue its operations thereon. Rent shall be abated during the period of restoration and shall be reduced for the remainder of the lease term to the extent and in the same proportion as the reduction in the reasonable rental value of the Property for Tenant’s use caused by the condemnation. All condemnation proceeds shall belong to Landlord, except for any award specifically made to Tenant for moving expenses, or the taking of Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal property. Sale of all or a part of the Property to a purchaser with the power of eminent domain in the face of a threat or the probability of the exercise of the power shall be treated as a taking by condemnation. Landlord need not incur expenses for restoration in excess of the amount of condemnation proceeds received by Landlord after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
9.TRANSFERS BY TENANT.
9.1Prohibition of Transfer. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber the Property or Tenant’s leasehold estate, or sublet all or any portion of the Property, license the use of all or any portion of the Property, or otherwise transfer any interest in the Property (whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. Any attempted transfer without consent shall be null and void and, at the option of Landlord, will cause termination of this Lease.
9.2Obligations After Transfer. The giving of such consent in one instance shall not preclude the need for Tenant to obtain Landlord’s consent to further transfers. If Tenant is permitted to make any transfer, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligations, but shall remain primarily liable to Landlord for performance of all such obligations. The transferee shall execute an assumption of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section 9 or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer.
10.DEFAULT.
The following shall be events of default:
10.1Payment Default. Tenant fails to make any rent or other payment under this Lease within ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant that it is past due; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to give more than two (2) such notices in any 12 month period, after which this Lease shall be in default if rent or any other payment is not paid within ten (10) days after it is due without notice, until such 12 month period has passed.
10.2Unauthorized Transfer. Tenant makes any transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent as required under Section 9.1.
10.3Default in Other Covenants. Tenant fails to comply with any other term or condition or fulfill any other obligation of this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice by Landlord specifying the nature of the default with reasonable particularity, provided, however, if the default is of such a nature that it cannot be remedied fully within the 30‑day period, it shall not be an event of default if Tenant begins correction of the default within the 30‑day period and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence and in good faith to effect the remedy as soon as practicable.
10.4Insolvency Defaults. Dissolution or termination of existence of Tenant; the commencement by Tenant of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws or under any other federal or state law relating to insolvency or debtor’s relief; the entry of a decree or order for relief against Tenant in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws or under any other applicable federal or state law relating to insolvency or debtor’s relief; the appointment of or the consent by Tenant to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or custodian of Tenant or of any of Tenant’s property; an assignment for the benefit of creditors by Tenant; the making or suffering by Tenant of a fraudulent transfer under applicable federal or state law; concealment by Tenant of any of its property in fraud of creditors; the making or suffering by Tenant of a preference within the meaning of the federal bankruptcy law; or the imposition of a lien through legal proceedings or distraint upon any of the Property of Tenant which is not discharged or bonded.
10.5Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform its obligations within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written
notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Property whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying the nature of Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and, thereafter, diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
11.REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.
Upon default, Landlord may exercise any one or more of the following remedies, or any other remedy available under applicable law:
11.1Termination. Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Property and Tenant’s rights under this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Property, and this Lease will terminate as of the date of such notice. In the event of such termination, Landlord may recover damages from Tenant as provided in Section 11.3 below.
11.2Retake Possession. Landlord may re‑enter and retake possession of the Property, without notice, either by summary proceedings, force, any other applicable action or proceeding, or otherwise. Landlord may use the Property for Landlord’s own purposes or relet it upon any reasonable terms without prejudice to any other remedies that Landlord may have by reason of Tenant’s default. None of these actions will be deemed an acceptance of surrender by Tenant.
11.3Damages for Default. Whether or not Landlord retakes possession or relets the Property, Landlord may recover all damages caused by the default (including but not limited to unpaid rent, attorneys’ fees relating to the default, and costs of reletting). Landlord may sue periodically to recover damages as they accrue during the remainder of the lease term without barring a later action for further damages. Landlord may at any time bring an action for accrued damages, together with interest thereon at the rate of 12 percent per annum, plus damages for the remaining lease term. Such damages for the remaining lease term shall be equal to the difference between the total unpaid rent that would have been earned after termination of the Lease, with interest at 12 percent per annum from when due; less the amount of the rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, if any; with such difference discounted to present value at a discount rate equal to the sum of the Federal Reserve rate in effect at the time of the award promulgated by the Federal Reserve office for the district in which the Property is located, plus one percent.
11.4Cure of Tenant’s Default. Without prejudice to any other remedy for default, Landlord may perform any obligation or make any payment required to cure a default by Tenant. The cost of performance, including attorneys’ fees and all disbursements, shall immediately be repaid by Tenant upon demand, together with interest from the date of expenditure until fully paid at the rate of 12 percent per annum, but not in any event at a rate greater than the maximum rate of interest permitted by law.
12.SURRENDER AT EXPIRATION.
12.1Condition of Property. Upon expiration of the lease term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver all keys to Landlord and surrender the Property in good condition, broom clean. All repair, replacement and restoration for which Tenant is responsible shall be completed to the latest practical date prior to such surrender.
12.2Fixtures. Upon expiration of the lease term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of its furnishings, furniture, and trade fixtures that remain the property of Tenant and restore all
damage caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to do so, this shall be an abandonment of such property and Landlord may retain such property and all rights of Tenant with respect to it shall cease or, by notice in writing given to Tenant within twenty (20) days after removal was required, Landlord may elect to hold Tenant to its obligation of removal. If Landlord elects to require Tenant to remove, Landlord may effect a removal and place the property in public storage for Tenant’s account. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost of removal, restoration, transportation to storage, and storage, with interest on all such expenses as provided in Section 11.4.
12.3Holdover. If Tenant does not vacate the Property at the time required, Landlord shall have the option to treat Tenant as a tenant from month to month, subject to all of the provisions of this Lease (except that the term will be month to month and the rent will be 150 percent of the amount of rent then being paid by Tenant), or to evict, eject or otherwise lawfully remove Tenant from the Property and recover damages caused by wrongful holdover. Failure of Tenant to remove furniture, furnishings, or trade fixtures which Tenant is required to remove under this Lease shall constitute a failure to vacate to which this Section shall apply if such property not removed substantially interferes with occupancy of the Property by another tenant or with occupancy by Landlord for any purpose including preparation for a new tenant. If a month-to-month tenancy results from a holdover by Tenant, the tenancy shall be terminable at the end of any monthly rental period on written notice from Landlord given not less than ten (10) days prior to the termination date which shall be specified in the notice. Tenant waives any notice which would otherwise be provided by law with respect to month-to-month tenancy.
13.WARRANTY OF QUIET ENJOYMENT.
So long as Tenant complies with all terms of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to peaceable and undisturbed possession of the Property free from any interference by Landlord or those claiming through Landlord.

14.8Subordination to Mortgages. This Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subordinate to the lien of any trust deed or mortgage subsequently placed upon the Property, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof; provided, however, that as to the lien of any such trust deed or mortgage Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Property shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant pays the rent and observes and performs all of the provisions of this Lease. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any document reasonably to effectuate such subordination.
