B.            Sublessee desires to sublease the Premises (as described in Exhibit A hereto), and Sublessor has agreed to lease the Premises to Sublessee on the terms and conditions contained herein.

 

AGREEMENTS

 

In consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, Sublessor and Sublessee agree as follows:

 

1.            Premises Subleased & Term. Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee the Premises for a five-year term commencing on the later of (i) the date in which the Landlord under the Base Lease approves this Sublease, and (ii) May 1, 2016 (the “Sublease Commencement Pate”) and continuing until April 30,2021 (the “Term”).

 

2.            Right of First Refusal. At the expiration of the Term, so long as Sublessee is not in default under the Sublease, Sublessee will have a right of first refusal to sublease the Premises. Upon Sublessor notifying Sublessee of the terms on which Sublessor is willing to sublease the Premises, Sublessee shall have 30 days to notify Sublessor that it is either exercising or waiving its right of first refusal.

 

3.            Rent. As rent for this Sublease, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor on the following schedule (“Rent”), together with its proportionate share of all other sums, including without limitation utility costs, insurance costs, operating costs, and taxes paid by Sublessor in its capacity as Tenant under the Base Lease (Additional Rent”).

 

Year 1:   $13,000 NNN per month

 

Year 2:   $14,000 NNN per month

 

Year 3:   $15,500 NNN per month

 

Year 4:   $17,000 NNN per month

 

Year 5:   $18,000 NNN per month

 

 

 

 

Such rent shall be payable on the first day of each month based upon a reasonable estimate provided to Sublessee by Sublessor of the other sums payable by Sublessor for that month under the Base Lease. Within 15 days after the actual amount of other sums due under the Base Lease is known by Sublessor, Sublessor shall notify Sublessee thereof and of Sublessee’s portion thereof. If Sublessee has overpaid rent for the period in question, such overpayment shall be credited against the next installments of rent due or returned by Sublessor to Sublessee, or if Sublessee has underpaid rent, then Sublessee shall pay the amount of such underpayment to Sublessor within twenty days after the receipt of such notice. Payment of Rent and Additional Rent shall be made to Sublessor at its address written below or at such other place Sublessor may designate in writing, without any offset or deduction whatsoever. In addition if the Base Lease requires Tenant to make payments of real estate taxes and/or utilities which are applicable to the Premises directly to the taxing authorities and/or utility companies, as the case may be, Sublessee shall make such payments in a timely manner and promptly supply Sublessor with evidence thereof, and such shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder.

 

4.            Acceptance. Sublessee acknowledges that it has inspected the Premises demised hereunder, and is fully satisfied with their condition and accepts the same, “AS IS.” Sublessor has made no representation or warranties of any nature whatsoever with regard to the Premises, other than those set forth herein, and Sublessor shall have no obligation or duty with regard to preparation of the Premises for occupancy by Sublessee. Sublessor shall deliver vacant possession of the Premises to Sublessee on Sublease Commencement Date.

 

5.            Base Lease Incorporated. The provisions of the Base Lease are, except as otherwise herein specifically provided, hereby incorporated in this Sublease with the same effect as if entirely rewritten herein, and shall fix the rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the Premises with the same effect as if Sublessor and Sublessee were, respectively, the landlord and tenant named in the Base Lease. Sublessee hereby covenants to perform the covenants and undertakings of Sublessor as tenant under the Base Lease to the extent the same are applicable to the Premises during the term of this Sublease, and agrees not to do or permit to be done any act which shall result in a violation of any of the terms and conditions of said Base lease. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Sublessee is to have the benefit of the covenants and undertakings of Landlord in the Base Lease to the extent the same are applicable to the Premises during the term of this Sublease. It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that Sublessor is not in the position to render any of the services or to perform any of the obligations required of Landlord by the terms of this Sublease, and that performance by Sublessor of its obligations hereunder are conditioned upon due performance by owner of its corresponding obligations under the Base Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor shall take all reasonable measures and use its reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under the Base lease and to insure that Landlord performs said obligations. So long as Sublesssor takes such reasonable measures and uses such reasonable efforts, Sublessor shall not be in default under this Sublease for failure to render such services or perform such obligations required by Sublessor by the terms of this Sublease that are the responsibility of the Landlord under the Base Lease. The terms “reasonable measures” and “reasonable efforts” shall not include legal action against Landlord for its failure to so perform unless Sublessee agrees to pay all actual costs and expenses in connection therewith.

7.            Holdover. Sublessee shall promptly vacate the Premises upon expiration or termination of this Sublease. Any holding over by Sublessee beyond the expiration date of this Sublease shall be deemed unlawful unless expressly consented to by Sublessor in writing, and Sublessor shall be entitled to any and all remedies in law or in equity by reason of such unlawful holding over by Sublessee, Sublessee agrees to indemnify and save Sublessor harmless against and from any and all loss, cost, expense and liability incurred by Sublessor under the Base Lease by reason of any such holding over.

 

8.            Indemnification.

If Landlord does not give its consent to this Sublease for any reason whatsoever within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, this Sublease shall be deemed null and void and of no effect.

 

13.            Insurance. Sublessee shall maintain insurance as required under the Base Lease in the amounts stated in the Base Lease, with Sublessor named as an additional insured.
