Article 1 Lease of Premises and Lease Term
1.1 Premises. In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Lease and other good and valuable consideration, Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease. Subject to this Section 1.1, the estimated sizes of the Premises and Building, respectively, are as set forth in the Basic Terms for determining Rent and for all other purposes under this Lease. Prior to or upon Substantial Completion, Landlord will cause Landlords architect to measure the Premises and the Building. Both the Premises and the Building will be measured from the exterior surface of exterior walls of the Building (as the Premises constitute the entire Building). Following receipt of such measurements, Tenant shall have the right to confirm such measurements with an architect or engineer of its choosing (which architect or engineer shall be subject to Landlords reasonable approval). Following such confirmation (or, to the extent there is a disagreement, the resolution of such measurements by the parties, acting reasonably and in good faith), the square footages so determined, together with the Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses Percentage will be specified in the Commencement Date Memorandum executed as provided in Section 1.2.
1.2 Term; Commencement; Late Delivery; Commencement Date Memorandum.
1.2.1 Term; Commencement. The Term of this Lease is the period stated in the Basic Terms. The Term commences on the Commencement Date and expires at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the last calendar month of the Term. Landlord will tender possession of the Premises to Tenant upon Substantial Completion of Tenants Improvements pursuant to Article 17.
1.2.2 Late Delivery. Subject to this Section 1.2.2, in the event that the Commencement Date has not occurred by September 30, 2017, as such date may be extended by the number of days of delay due to Tenant Delays or other Force Majeure (First Outside Date), then, as Tenants sole and exclusive remedy in connection therewith (except as expressly provided in the immediately succeeding sentence), Tenant shall receive a credit equal to one days Basic Rent for each day after the First Outside Date until the Commencement Date has occurred; provided, however, that the maximum amount of such credit will be 76 days of Basic Rent. In addition, and also subject to this Section 1.2.2, in the event that the Commencement Date has not occurred by December 15, 2017, as such date may be extended by the number of days of delay due to Tenant Delays or other Force Majeure (Second Outside Date), then as Tenants sole and exclusive remedy (in lieu of the Basic Rent abatement set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord on the earlier of (a) the date that is five Business Days after the Second Outside Date, or (b) the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date, which termination will be effective upon Landlords receipt of such termination notice. For purposes of determining the First Outside Date and the Second Outside Date, (i) the maximum number of days of delay due to Force Majeure (other than Tenant Delays and other than delays attributable to the failure of NV Energy to provide sufficient electrical power to the Building) will be 60 days; and (ii) the maximum number of days of delay due to Force Majeure (other than Tenant Delays) attributable to the failure of NV Energy to provide sufficient electrical power to the Building will be 120 days (instead of only 60 days).
3
1.2.3 Commencement Date Memorandum. Within ten Business Days following the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form as set forth in the attached Exhibit D, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten Business Days of receipt thereof (provided that if such Commencement Date Memorandum is not factually correct, then Tenant shall make such changes as are necessary to make the Commencement Date Memorandum factually correct and shall thereafter execute and return the revised Commencement Date Memorandum to Landlord within such ten-Business Day period). If Landlord fails to respond to Tenants revised Commencement Date Memorandum within ten Business Days following Landlords receipt thereof, then Tenant shall request Landlords confirmation of Tenants changes in writing (Request for Confirmation of Commencement Date Memorandum), which Request for Confirmation of Commencement Date Memorandum shall state in bold print that Landlords failure to respond within five Business Days following Landlords receipt thereof shall be deemed to be Landlords approval of the Commencement Date Memorandum as revised by Tenant. Tenants revised Commencement Date Memorandum shall be binding on both parties unless Landlord, within five Business Days following receipt of the Request for Confirmation of Commencement Date Memorandum delivers a notice to Tenant rejecting Tenants changes, whereupon this procedure shall be repeated until the parties mutually agree upon the contents of the Commencement Date Memorandum. In the event Landlord shall fail to send Tenant the Commencement Date Memorandum within ten Business Days following the Commencement Date, Tenant may send to Landlord notice of the occurrence of the Commencement Date substantially in the form of the Commencement Date Memorandum, which Commencement Date Memorandum Landlord shall acknowledge by executing a copy thereof and returning it to Tenant (provided that if such Commencement Date Memorandum is not factually correct, then Landlord shall make such changes as are necessary to make the Commencement Date Memorandum factually correct, which revised Commencement Date Memorandum shall thereafter be subject to the procedure for finalization set forth in this Section 1.2.3). Once the Commencement Date Memorandum is executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant, the same shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
1.3 Access Prior to Substantial Completion. Subject to this Section 1.3, beginning on or about June 15, 2017 (or such later date as may be required in the event of Tenant Delays or other Force Majeure), Tenant will be allowed access to the warehouse portion of the Premises to install its furniture, fixtures, cabling and equipment including, without limitation, racking and related trade fixtures, and to any proposed computer room to install wiring; provided, however, that (a) Tenant must comply with and observe, all applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any required Certificate of Occupancy), all safety rules and procedures, and all other terms and conditions of this Lease, (b) Tenant will not interfere with the construction of Tenants Improvements or cause any labor dispute as a result of Tenants installations, (c) Tenant assumes all risk of loss or damage to Tenants racking and related trade fixtures and to any and all personal property of Tenant or its contractors, subcontractors, agents and employees (except for any loss or damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or its agents, contractors and employees), and (d) Tenant will indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any loss or damage to such racking, trade fixtures and other personal property, and all liability, loss or damage arising from any injury to the property of Landlord, or its contractors, subcontractors or materialmen, and any death or personal injury to any person or persons to the extent arising out of such installations or the presence of Tenant or its contractors, subcontractors, agents and employees on the Premises; provided, however, the foregoing indemnity shall not apply in cases of the breach of this Lease by and/or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or its agents, contractors and employees). Landlord may, at any time, suspend Tenants rights to the aforesaid access prior to the Commencement Date if Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that such access or any work being performed by or for Tenant is unreasonably interfering with the construction of Tenants Improvements, is creating security or safety risks or is otherwise not in conformance with the conditions of this Section 1.3. Beginning on the date that Tenant commences any activities in the Premises pursuant to this Section 1.3, and continuing through the day before the Commencement Date, Tenant will
4
contribute to the payment of the utility charges at the Premises, if such charges are higher than would customarily be the case for contractors performing the construction of Tenants Improvements, or otherwise would have been the case, in the absence of such work by or for Tenant. The parties will reasonably cooperate to arrive at an equitable allocation of any such charges. Such allocation will be generally designed to result in Tenants paying that portion of such utility charges attributable to Tenants activities at the Premises only. In no event may Tenant conduct business in the Premises during such early access period.
1.4 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees that, from and after the Commencement Date, Tenant may quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, free from molestation or hindrance by Landlord or any person claiming by, through or under Landlord, if Tenant pays all Rent as and when due (subject to applicable notice and cure periods hereunder) and keeps, observes and fully satisfies all other covenants, obligations and agreements of Tenant under this Lease (subject to applicable notice and cure periods hereunder).
1.5 Common Area. Tenant will have the non-exclusive right, together with the other occupants and users of the Property, to use the Common Area during the Term for the purposes intended, subject to such reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time, which shall be enforced in a manner that does not materially interfere with the conduct of the Permitted Use from the Premises or Tenants access to the Premises. Such right to use the Common Area is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, all Property Rules and other Laws.
1.6 Extension of Term. Provided that no Event of Default exists at the time of exercise, Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for up to two consecutive periods of five years each. Tenant must exercise each such right of extension by delivering written notice of Tenants exercise at least nine, but not more than 12, months prior to the expiration of the Term (as may have been extended). Each extension of the Term will be on the same terms, covenants and conditions as in this Lease, other than Basic Rent. Basic Rent for the extension period will be the Fair Market Basic Rent determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord will reasonably determine such Fair Market Basic Rent and deliver Landlords determination to Tenant at least eight months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term.
1.6.1 Rent Appraisal. If Tenant disputes Landlords determination of Fair Market Basic Rent for an extension of the Term, Tenant will deliver notice of such dispute, together with Tenants proposed Fair Market Basic Rent, to Landlord within ten Business Days of Landlords delivery of Landlords determination. The parties will then attempt in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Basic Rent. If the parties fail to agree within fifteen Business Days, then Landlord and Tenant will each appoint an appraiser meeting the criteria below within seven days after the expiration of such fifteen-Business Day period. Each appraiser must have at least 10 years of full-time commercial appraisal experience of industrial space comparable to the Property and be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or a similar professional appraisal association. No appraiser may have any material financial or business interest in common with either of the parties (or have been engaged or employed by them within the previous five-year period). Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the two appraisers their respective proposals of Fair Market Basic Rent. The two appraisers shall each meet during the ensuing 30 days (Thirty-Day Period) in order to select either Landlords Fair Market Basic Rent determination or Tenants Fair Market Basic Rent determination. If the two appraisers are unable to mutually select, in the Thirty-Day Period, either Landlords Fair Market Basic Rent determination or Tenants Fair Market Basic Rent determination, then the two appraisers so appointed shall, within 15 days after the expiration of the Thirty-Day Period, agree upon and appoint an independent third party real estate appraiser (Independent Arbitrator) meeting the criteria set forth above. If an Independent Arbitrator has not been so appointed by the end of such 15-day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the Las Vegas office of the American Arbitration Association (or any successor thereto), or in the absence,
5
failure, refusal or inability of such entity to act, then either party may apply to the presiding judge of the Clark County, Nevada District Court, for the appointment of the Independent Arbitrator, and the other party shall not raise any question as to the courts full power and jurisdiction to make the appointment. Within five days following notification of the identity of the Independent Arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit a copy of its Fair Market Basic Rent determination to the Independent Arbitrator. In addition, each party may submit any written materials to the Independent Arbitrator within ten Business Days of selection of the Independent Arbitrator. No witnesses or oral testimony (i.e., no hearing) shall be permitted in connection with the Independent Arbitrators decision unless agreed to by both parties. The Independent Arbitrator is authorized to walk both the Premises and any comparable space. The Independent Arbitrator shall select either Landlords Fair Market Basic Rent determination or Tenants Fair Market Basic Rent determination as the Fair Market Basic Rent hereunder and notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and shall have no right to propose a middle ground or to modify either of the two determinations or the provisions of this Lease. The Independent Arbitrator shall attempt to render a decision within 30 days after appointment of the Independent Arbitrator. In any case, the Independent Arbitrator shall render a decision within 45 days after appointment of the Independent Arbitrator. The decision of the Independent Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced in accordance with the provisions of Nevada law. In the event of the failure, refusal or inability of the Independent Arbitrator to act, a successor shall be appointed in the manner described above. If the Independent Arbitrator has not determined the Fair Market Basic Rent as of the end of the Term (as may have been previously extended), Tenant shall pay the Basic Rent in effect under the Lease as of the end of the Term, as applicable, until the Fair Market Basic Rent is determined as provided herein. Upon such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments to the payments between them and enter into written amendment to this Lease memorializing the same. The parties shall pay the fees of their respective appraisers, and shall share equally in the fees of the Independent Arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings (excluding attorneys fees and similar expenses of the parties, which shall be borne separately by each of the parties).
Article 2 Rental and Other Payments
2.1 Basic Rent. Tenant will pay Basic Rent in monthly installments to Landlord, in advance, beginning on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term; provided, however, that so long as there is not an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, Basic Rent (but not any Additional Rent) will abate with respect to the Premises during the first four months of the Term as set forth in the Basic Terms. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments by means of check, ACH or wire transfer of immediately available funds, using payment and/or transfer instructions that Landlord may from time to time provide in writing. In the absence of such instructions, Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments to the Rent Payment Address specified in the Basic Terms or at such other place or in such other manner as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments without offset or deduction (except as expressly set forth in this Lease) and without any previous demand, invoice or notice for payment. Landlord and Tenant will prorate, on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in such calendar month, Basic Rent for any partial month within the Term.
2.2 Additional Rent. Article 3 requires Tenant to pay Tenants Share of Property Expenses as Additional Rent pursuant to estimates Landlord delivers to Tenant. Tenant will make all such payments in accordance with Section 3.3 without offset or deduction (except as expressly set forth in this Lease) and without any previous demand, invoice or notice for payment (except as expressly set forth in this Lease). Tenant will pay all other Additional Rent described in this Lease within 30 days after receiving Landlords invoice for such Additional Rent. Tenant will make all Additional Rent payments to the same location and, except as described in the previous sentence, in the same manner as Basic Rent payments.
6
2.3 Delinquent Rental Payments. If Tenant does not pay any installment of Basic Rent or any Additional Rent on the date the payment is due, Tenant will pay Landlord a late payment charge equal to five percent of the amount of the delinquent payment; provided, however, that there will be no such late payment charge the first time in any twelve-month period during the Term that a payment is delinquent, so long as such payment is made within five Business Days following notice that the same is past the due date thereof. Further, if Tenant does not pay any installment of Basic Rent or any Additional Rent on the date the payment is due, Tenant will pay Landlord interest on the delinquent payment calculated at the Maximum Rate from the date the payment is due through the date the payment is made. The parties agree that such amounts represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the damages Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. Such charges will be considered Additional Rent and Landlords right to such compensation for the delinquency is in addition to all of Landlords rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity.
2.4 No Accord and Satisfaction. No statement on a payment check from Tenant or in a letter accompanying a payment check is binding on Landlord. Landlord may, with or without notice to Tenant, negotiate such check without being bound to the conditions of any such statement. No acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any breach or default by Tenant constitutes a waiver of any such breach or default. If Tenant pays any amount other than the actual amount due Landlord, receipt or collection of such partial payment does not constitute an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may retain any such partial payment, whether restrictively endorsed or otherwise, without prejudice to Landlords right to collect the balance properly due. If all or any portion of any payment is dishonored for any reason, payment will not be deemed made until the entire amount due is actually collected by Landlord. The foregoing provisions apply in kind to the receipt or collection of any amount by a lock box agent or other person on Landlords behalf.
2.5 Rent Tax. Tenant will pay to Landlord all Rent Tax (if any) due in connection with this Lease or the payment of Basic Rent hereunder, which Rent Tax will be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with each payment of Basic Rent made by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Any Rent Tax will be considered as Additional Rent payable by Tenant hereunder.
Article 3 Property Expenses
3.1 Payment of Property Expenses. Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent and in the manner this Article 3 describes, Tenants Share of Property Expenses for each calendar year of the Term. Landlord will prorate Tenants Share of Property Expenses for the calendar year in which this Lease commences or terminates as of the Commencement Date or termination date, as applicable, on a per diem basis based on the number of days of the Term within such calendar year.
3.2 Estimation of Tenants Share of Property Expenses. Landlord will deliver to Tenant a written estimate of the following for each calendar year of the Term in reasonable detail by major categories: (a) Property Expenses; (b) Tenants Share of Property Expenses; and (c) the annual and monthly Additional Rent attributable to Tenants Share of Property Expenses. Landlord may reasonably re-estimate Property Expenses from time to time during the Term (but not more than once per calendar year). In such event, Landlord will revise the monthly Additional Rent attributable to Tenants Share of Property Expenses to an amount sufficient for Tenant to pay the re-estimated amount over the balance of the calendar year. Landlord will notify Tenant at least 30 days prior to the effective date of any such re-estimate.
3.3 Payment of Estimated Tenants Share of Property Expenses. Tenant will pay the amount Landlord estimates as Tenants Share of Property Expenses under Section 3.2 in equal monthly installments, in advance, beginning on the Commencement Date (unlike the Basic Rent, there is no abatement of Tenants Share of Property Expenses during the first four months of the Term) and thereafter on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term. If Landlord has not delivered a new estimate to Tenant by the first day of January of the applicable calendar year, Tenant will continue paying Tenants Share of Property Expenses based on Landlords estimates for the previous calendar year. When
7
Tenant receives Landlords estimates for the current calendar year, Tenant will pay the estimated amount for such calendar year (less amounts Tenant paid to Landlord in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) in equal monthly installments over the balance of such calendar year, with the number of installments being equal to the number of full calendar months remaining in such calendar year.
3.4 Confirmation of Tenants Share of Property Expenses. After the end of each calendar year within the Term, Landlord will determine the actual amount of Tenants Share of Property Expenses for the expired calendar year and deliver to Tenant a written statement of such amount in reasonable detail by major categories. If the Term ends during a calendar year, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) deliver such written statement prior to the end of the applicable calendar year, in which event such statement shall prorate Tenants Share of Property Expenses for the portion of the Term within such partial calendar year. If Tenant paid less than the amount of Tenants Share of Property Expenses specified in the statement, Tenant will pay the difference to Landlord as Additional Rent within 30 days after Tenants receipt of the statement. If Tenant paid more than the amount of Tenants Share of Property Expenses specified in the statement, Landlord will, at Landlords option, either (a) refund the excess amount to Tenant, or (b) credit the excess amount against Tenants next due monthly installment of Basic Rent or installments of estimated Additional Rent (unless the Lease has expired or been terminated, in which case clause (a) will apply). If Landlord is delayed in delivering such statement to Tenant, such delay does not constitute a waiver of either partys rights under this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenants Share of any Property Expenses attributable to any calendar year, which are first billed to Tenant more than two calendar years after the earlier of (a) the expiration of the applicable calendar year, or (b) the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; provided, however, that in any event Tenant shall be responsible for Tenants Share of Property Expenses levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility companies at any time following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, which are attributable to any calendar year (provided that Landlord delivers Tenant a bill for such amounts within two years following Landlords receipt of the bill therefor).
3.5 Tenants Inspection and Audit Rights. If Tenant desires to audit Landlords determination of the actual amount of Tenants Share of Property Expenses for any calendar year, Tenant must deliver to Landlord written notice of Tenants election to audit within one year after Landlords delivery of the statement of such amount under Section 3.4, which notice will identify with reasonable specificity those items that are in dispute. If such notice is timely delivered, and provided that no Event of Default, or event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, then exists under this Lease, Tenant (but not any subtenant or assignee) may, at Tenants sole cost and expense, cause a certified public accountant or lease audit firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord (and whose compensation is not incentive-based or otherwise dependent, in whole or in part, on the discovery of errors in the determination of Tenants Share of Property Expenses) to audit Landlords records relating to such amounts. Such audit will take place during regular business hours at a time and place reasonably acceptable to Landlord (which may be the location where Landlord or Property Manager maintains the applicable records). Tenants election to audit Landlords determination of Tenants Share of Property Expenses is deemed withdrawn unless Tenant completes and delivers the audit report to Landlord within 90 days after the date Tenant delivers its notice of election to audit to Landlord under this Section 3.5. If the audit report (or, if applicable, the report of the Independent CPA) shows that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenants Share of Property Expenses was greater than the amount this Article 3 obligates Tenant to pay, then Landlord will refund the excess amount to Tenant within 30 days after Landlord receives a copy of the audit (or the Independent CPAs) report; provided, however, that if Landlord fails to make such payment within such time period, Tenant may treat any overpayments resulting from the foregoing resolution of such parties dispute as a credit against Basic Rent until such amounts are otherwise paid by Landlord. If the audit (or the Independent CPAs) report shows that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenants Share of Property Expenses was less than the amount this Article 3 obligates Tenant to pay, then Tenant will pay to Landlord within 30 days after the completion of the audit, as Additional Rent, the
8
difference between the amount Tenant paid and the amount determined in the audit (or the Independent CPAs) report. As contemplated above, in the event that, following Tenants audit, Landlord reasonably contests the audit and, thereafter, Tenant and Landlord continue to dispute the amounts of Property Expenses shown on Landlords statement, and Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve such dispute, then upon either Landlords or Tenants written request therefor, a certification as to the proper amount of Property Expenses and the amount due to or payable by Tenant shall be made by an independent certified public accountant (Independent CPA) mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant, each acting in good faith; provided, however, if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree in the first instance, then the parties shall select as the Independent CPA a certified public accountant who is a member of one of so-called Big Four certified public accounting firms (i.e., Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young and KPMG) who (i) has practiced as a certified public accountant for at least ten years; (ii) is experienced in industrial real estate properties and the subject matter of this Section 3.5; and (iii) has not represented Landlord or Tenant during the preceding ten-year period. The decision of the Independent CPA shall be conclusive and binding upon both Landlord and Tenant. Pending resolution of any audit (or Independent CPAs) report under this Section 3.5, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord all estimated amounts of Tenants Share of Property Expenses in accordance with Section 3.3. Tenant must keep all information it obtains in any audit strictly confidential and may only use such information for the limited purpose this Section 3.5 describes and for Tenants own account. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with Tenants audit, as well as attorneys fees and related costs of both Landlord and Tenant relating to the decision of the Independent CPA (collectively, Audit Costs); provided, however, that if the parties final resolution of the dispute involves the overstatement by Landlord of Tenants Share of Property Expenses for such calendar year in excess of three percent (3%) in the aggregate, then Landlord shall be responsible for all Audit Costs. In no event shall the payment by Tenant of any Property Expense payment, or any amount on account thereof, preclude Tenant from exercising its rights under this Section 3.5.
3.6 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes charged against Tenants Personal Property. Tenant will use all reasonable efforts to have Tenants Personal Property taxed separately from the Property. If any of Tenants Personal Property is taxed with the Property, Tenant will pay the taxes attributable to Tenants Personal Property to Landlord as Additional Rent.
3.7 Landlords Right to Contest Property Taxes. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Property Taxes. If Property Taxes are reduced (or if a proposed increase is avoided or reduced) because Property Taxes are contested, Landlord may include in its computation of Property Taxes the costs and expenses incurred in connection with such contest, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, up to the amount of any Property Tax reduction obtained in connection with the contest or any Property Tax increase avoided or reduced in connection with the contest, as the case may be. Tenant may not contest Property Taxes except as provided herein. Landlord will make a good faith determination of the reasonableness of the Property Taxes and will contest Property Taxes if it reasonably determines the Property Taxes to be unreasonable and not consistent with buildings of similar size, use, age and location.
Article 4 Tenants Use
4.1 Permitted Use. Tenant will use the Premises only for the permitted use specified in the Basic Terms and may not use the Premises for any other purposes. Tenant will not use the Property or permit the Premises to be used in violation of any Laws or in any manner that would (a) violate any certificate of occupancy affecting the Property; (b) violate any insurance now or after the Effective Date in force with respect to the Property; (c) cause injury or damage to the Property or to the person or property of any other tenant on the Property; or (d) cause substantial diminution in the value or usefulness of all or any part of the Property (reasonable wear and tear excepted). Tenant will not commit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Premises or the Property. Tenant will obtain and maintain, at Tenants sole cost and
9
expense, all permits and approvals required under the Laws for Tenants use of the Premises. Except when and where Tenants right of access is specifically excluded as the result of (i) an emergency, (ii) a requirement by applicable Laws, or (iii) a specific provision set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, the Property 24 hours per day, seven days per week during the Term.
4.2 Acceptance of Premises. Except as expressly provided in Section 17.7, (a) Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent, contractor or employee of Landlord has made any representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the Premises, the Building or the Property, specifically including, without limitation, any representation or warranty of suitability or fitness of the Premises, Building or the Property for any particular purpose; and (b) Tenants acceptance and occupancy of the Premises conclusively establishes Tenants acceptance of the Premises, the Building and the Property in an AS ISWHERE IS condition, subject to Landlords obligations with respect to the construction of Tenants Improvements under Article 17 (including, without limitation, the warranty-related obligations therein set forth), and Landlords repair and maintenance obligations expressly set forth herein.
4.3 Laws/Property Rules. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Laws. A copy of the current Property Rules is attached to this Lease as Exhibit E. Landlord may revise the Property Rules from time to time in Landlords reasonable discretion provided that such Property Rules shall be enforced in a non-discriminatory matter and in the case of any conflict between such Property Rules and the terms of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall comply with all applicable Laws relating to the Property and Building, provided that compliance with such applicable Laws is required by the enforcing authorities, is not required as a result of Tenants particular use (as opposed to general warehouse use), and is not otherwise the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease.
4.4 Claims Arising From Tenants Use. Except for the Claims waived by Landlord in Section 10.3.2, Tenant will, to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all Claims arising from (a) any use of the Premises or Property by Tenant that violates the terms of this Lease, (b) any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of Tenants covenants or agreements in this Lease, (c) any act, omission, negligence or misconduct of Tenant, (d) any accident, injury, occurrence or damage in or to the Premises, and (e) if caused in whole or in part by Tenant, any accident, injury, occurrence or damage in, about or to the Property; provided, however, the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any claims which arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of or breach of this Lease by any Landlord Party.
4.5 Increased Insurance. Tenant will not do on the Property or permit to be done on the Premises anything that will (a) increase the premium of any insurance policy that Landlord carries covering the Premises or the Property (and Landlord will promptly provide Tenant with notice if Landlord becomes aware that any such action will increase such premium); (b) cause a cancellation of or be in conflict with any such insurance policy; (c) result in any insurance companys refusal to issue or continue any such insurance in amounts satisfactory to Landlord; or (d) subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or property by reason of Tenants operations in the Premises or use of the Property. Tenant, at Tenants sole cost and expense, will comply with all commercially reasonable rules, orders, regulations and requirements of insurers and of the American Insurance Association or any other organization performing a similar function of which it is made aware in writing. If Landlord notifies Tenant that any action will result in (i) an increase in the premium, (ii) cancelation of any insurance policy that Landlord carries covering the Premises or the Property, or (iii) any insurance companys refusal to issue or continue any such insurance in amounts satisfactory to Landlord, and Tenant fails to cease such action within ten Business Days after delivery of such notice, then Tenant will reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent and within 30 days following written demand, for any additional premium charges for such policy or policies resulting from Tenants failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.5.
10
4.6 Parking. Subject to this Section 4.6, Landlord will make available on the Property a parking area or areas containing spaces for 450 automobiles and 120 semi-trailers, as generally designated on the Site Plan for the exclusive use of Tenant, and its employees and invitees. All of such parking areas and the use thereof will be subject to Laws and such reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time institute. Landlord reserves the right to designate areas of the appurtenant parking facilities where Tenant, and its agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees, will park, and may exclude Tenant, and its agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees, from parking in other areas as designated by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for the failure of any tenant or other person or entity, or their respective agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees, to abide by Landlords designations or restrictions.
4.7 Signage. Subject to this Section 4.7 and otherwise except as specifically approved in writing by Landlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned and shall be granted or denied within ten Business Days after Tenants written request), Tenant will not place, or permit to be placed or maintained, on any exterior door, wall or window of the Premises any sign, awning or canopy, or advertising matter or other thing of any kind, and will not place or maintain any decoration, lettering or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door, or that can be seen through the glass, of the Premises. Tenant will maintain such sign, awning, canopy, decoration, lettering, advertising matter or thing as may be approved, in good condition and repair at all times. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will maintain any such permitted signage in good condition and repair at all times, and in conformance with all applicable Laws and with all of Landlords sign criteria, if any, as to design, material, color, location, size, letter style, and method of installation. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary herein, Tenant will be permitted to place one identification sign on each exterior façade of the Building and one totem identification sign that is visible from Route 1-15 (all of which signs may be lighted, if and to the extent permitted by the applicable municipal authorities and other applicable Laws); provided, however, that the design of such Building signage and such totem sign, as well as the specific location of each, will be subject to Landlords reasonable approval (to be granted or denied within ten Business Days after Tenants written request). All such signage will be installed, maintained and removed at Tenants sole cost and expense, and must comply with the other requirements of this Lease and with all Laws (including, without limitation, any limitations required by the local municipality with respect to the size or other characteristics of Tenants exterior Building and totem signs). Landlord shall not have the right to install, affix and/or maintain any signs on the exterior or in the interior of the Premises or Building (other than for purposes of re-leasing the Premises during the last 12 months of the Term).
4.8 Tenants Security System. Subject to the requirements of Article 8, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or condition its consent (which consent shall be granted or denied within fifteen Business Days after Tenants written request) to a proposal by Tenant to install, maintain and replace from time to time, at Tenants sole cost and expense, Tenants own security system in the Premises (Tenants Security System); provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing, that Landlord shall have the right to access the Premises in the event of an emergency and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the necessary access codes, keys or similar means necessary for Landlord to be able to access the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenants Security System (including, without limitation, the operation, installation, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal thereof) shall be subject to, and in compliance, with all applicable Laws. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of obtaining and maintaining any necessary permits for Tenants Security System and any licenses related thereto, and for the cost and expense of maintenance and utilities for Tenants Security System, if any. The means and method of installation of Tenants Security System in the Building shall be subject to Landlords prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned (which approval shall
11
be granted or denied within fifteen Business Days after Tenants written request). Tenant shall be responsible for the repair of any damage to any portion of the Premises and/or Building caused by Tenants installation, use or removal of Tenants Security System. All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall apply in the event Tenant fails to install and/or maintain Tenants Security System as herein required. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall cause, and shall pay all costs associated with, the removal of Tenants Security System and the restoration of the Premises where Tenants Security System is located to as near its original condition as may then be reasonably required by Landlord.
4.9 Roof Rights. Subject to the requirements of Article 8, Tenant shall be permitted to use the roof of the Building to install, maintain and replace from time to time certain equipment (Rooftop Equipment), provided that (a) Landlord first reasonably approves the plans, specifications, size, location, and method of attachment of the Rooftop Equipment, (b) Tenant shall comply with all applicable Laws with respect to the operation, installation, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal of the Rooftop Equipment, (c) Tenant shall comply with any roof bond and/or warranty with respect to the Building (including, without limitation, being required to use Landlords designated roofing contractor), (d) the Rooftop Equipment shall not be visible from street level, and (e) the Rooftop Equipment shall not interfere with any existing rooftop equipment or Building systems. Tenant shall be responsible for the repair of any damage to any portion of the Building caused by the operation, installation, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal of the Rooftop Equipment. The Rooftop Equipment shall remain the exclusive property of Tenant, and Tenant shall have the right to remove same at any time during the term of the Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall be required to remove the Rooftop Equipment (and any associated cabling and wiring) and to restore any portion of the Building affected thereby to the condition existing prior to the installation of such Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any and all Claims imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any one or more of the Landlord Parties arising out of Tenants operation, installation, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal of the Rooftop Equipment, which indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
Article 5 Hazardous Materials
5.1 Compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant will not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept or used on the Property in a manner or for any purpose that violates any Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws related to Tenants use of the Property. On or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant will completely remove from the Property (regardless of whether any Hazardous Materials Law requires removal), in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws, at Tenants sole cost and expense, and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord, all Hazardous Materials that Tenant causes or permits to be present in, on, under or about the Property. Upon Landlords written request, Tenant will promptly deliver to Landlord documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord disclosing the nature and quantity of any Hazardous Materials that Tenant has located (or permitted to be located) at the Property and evidencing the legal and proper handling, storage and disposal of all Hazardous Materials kept at or removed or to be removed from the Property by Tenant. All such documentation will list Tenant or its agent as the responsible party and will not attribute responsibility for any such Hazardous Materials to Landlord or Property Manager. All reporting and warning obligations required under Hazardous Materials Laws arising from Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises or Property are Tenants sole responsibility. Tenant will not apply for or maintain any permits, licenses or other governmental approvals for the transportation, storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials on the Property without having first obtained Landlords prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
12
5.2 Notice of Actions. Tenant will notify Landlord of any of the following actions affecting Landlord, Tenant or the Property that results from or in any way relates to Tenants use of the Property immediately after receiving notice of the same: (a) any enforcement, clean-up, removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened under any Hazardous Materials Law; (b) any Claims made or threatened relating to any Hazardous Material; and (c) any reports, records, letters of inquiry and responses, manifests or other documents made by any person, including Tenant, to or from any environmental agency relating to any Hazardous Material, including, without limitation, any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations. Tenant will not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to any Claims relating to or in any way connected with Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property, without first notifying Landlord of Tenants intention to do so and affording Landlord reasonable opportunity to investigate, appear, intervene and otherwise assert and protect Landlords interest in the Property.
5.3 Hazardous Materials Indemnification. Tenant, to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any and all Claims whatsoever arising or resulting, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the presence, treatment, storage, transportation, disposal, release or management of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, about or from the Property (including water tables and atmosphere), but only to the extent arising from Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises or Property. Tenants obligations under this Section 5.3 include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, (a) the costs of any required or necessary repair, compliance, investigations, clean-up, monitoring, response, detoxification or decontamination of the Property; (b) the costs of implementing any closure, remediation or other required action in connection therewith; (c) the value of any loss of use and any diminution in value of the Property and adjacent and nearby properties, including groundwater; and (d) consultants fees, experts fees and response costs. The obligations of Tenant under this Article 5 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
5.4 Landlords Representation and Warranty. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, to Landlords actual knowledge and except as set forth in any environmental assessment reports that Tenant has obtained, or that Landlord has obtained and delivered to Tenant, including, without limitation, that certain Final Phase I Environmental Site Assessment NWC of I-15 and N Lamb Boulevard, Parcels 123-31-502¬001/123-31 -602-003/123-31-602-004/123-30-801 -004, North Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada prepared by Advantage Environmental Consultants, LLC (AEC Project No. 16-095N), dated August 9, 2016, a copy of which has heretofore been delivered to Tenant, no Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, asbestos or asbestos containing materials) are located on or in the Property in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws.
5.5 Landlords Indemnification. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Landlord will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant) and hold harmless Tenant and each of Tenants officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns from and against any and all Claims whatsoever arising or resulting, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the presence, treatment, storage, transportation, disposal, release or management of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, about or from the Property (including water tables and atmosphere), but if and only to the extent caused by Landlord or any Landlord Parties. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property caused by Landlord or any Landlord Parties in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws, which poses a material health risk to the environment or the Premises (HazMat Abatement Event), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice thereof, and if such HazMat Abatement Event continues for five consecutive Business Days after Landlords receipt of any such notice, or occurs for ten non-consecutive Business Days in a twelve-month period (provided Landlord is sent a written notice of each of such HazMat Abatement
13
Event) (in either of such events, the HazMat Eligibility Period), then the Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after the expiration of the HazMat Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises, or a portion thereof. The obligations of Landlord under this Article 5 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Article 6 Services and Utilities
6.1 Services and Utilities. Tenant is solely responsible for obtaining all services and utilities that Tenant desires in connection with Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant is also solely responsible for paying directly to the applicable service or utility companies, prior to delinquency, all charges of every nature, kind or description for services and utilities furnished to the Premises or chargeable against the Premises (including, without limitation, any deposits required or charges imposed by any utility or service company as a condition precedent to furnishing or continuing to furnish utilities or services to the Premises), including, without limitation, all charges for water, sewer, heat, gas, light, garbage and rubbish removal (subject to Section 6.2), electricity, telecommunications, cable, steam, power, or other public or private utilities and services and any charges or fees for present or future water or sewer capacity to serve the Premises. Tenant will also pay all charges relating to any addition, extension, relocation, or other change in the facilities necessary to provide the Premises with any additional utilities and services. No interruption in, or temporary stoppage of, any utility or service to the Premises will be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenants use and possession of the Premises, nor does any interruption or stoppage relieve Tenant from any obligations under this Lease, render Landlord liable for damages or entitle Tenant to any Rent abatement, except as expressly provided below in this Section 6.1. In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption thereof, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant to restore all services promptly, to minimize interference with Tenants business in the Premises, and to provide Tenant with at least 24 hours prior oral, telephonic or electronic notice of any planned shutdowns of electrical power within the Building or any planned shutdowns by the utility serving the Building (to the extent Landlord has actual notice thereof), excluding emergency shut downs for which Landlord is unable to provide such notice. Further, in the event of any interruption in, or temporary stoppage of, utility services to the Premises, which interruption or stoppage is within the reasonable control of Landlord (or which is caused by or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party) and which also continues for five consecutive Business Days after Tenant has given Landlord oral, telephonic or electronic notice thereof, then all Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses with respect to that portion of the Premises that is rendered untenantable as a result of such interruption or stoppage, will thereafter abate until the earlier of the date on which such services are re-instituted or the interruption or stoppage is no longer within Landlords reasonable control.
6.2 Garbage and Rubbish Disposal. All garbage, rubbish, trash and refuse generated by or in connection with Tenants use of the Premises will be stored in covered, rodent proof containers within or immediately adjacent to the Premises, and Tenant will be responsible for the removal thereof from the Property. Landlord will have the right to reasonably approve the contractor used by Tenant for removal of Tenants garbage, rubbish, trash and refuse and, if Landlord designates an independent contractor for such purpose, Tenant will use such contractor to the exclusion of all other collection services, so long as the rates charged by such independent contractor are competitive and such contractor is reasonably available to perform such services. Tenant will pay the charges for such service directly to such contractor. Tenant, or its contractor, will not utilize dumpsters, trash compactors or other rubbish containers situated outside the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its reasonable discretion. If such approval is granted, Tenant will maintain such exterior dumpsters, compactors or containers and the surrounding area in good and slightly condition and in compliance with Laws. Anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord reserves the right during the Term to elect to provide trash removal services for the dumpsters allocated to the Premises, in which event Landlord will engage a third party vendor to provide such services at competitive rates and will bill Tenant from time to time for Tenants proportionate share thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord, which proportionate share will be Additional Rent hereunder.
14
Article 7 Maintenance and Repair
7.1 Landlords Obligations. Landlord will keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, (a) the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls (excluding windows and plate glass) and roof (including the roof membrane) of the Building, (b) the structural integrity of the footings, foundation, exterior walls, roof and other structural elements of the Building, (c) any equipment that is located outside of the Building and serves both the Building and other buildings that are not located on the Land, (d) to the extent not the responsibility of the applicable utility provider, the utility (including electricity, water and sewer) and sprinkler systems, facilities, fixtures and components on the Property up to the point that such systems, facilities, fixtures and components enter the Premises or connect to the meter serving the Premises (if applicable), and (e) the Common Area. The references to the Building in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) in the immediately preceding sentence will also mean the Premises, as the Premises constitute the entire Building. Landlord will also perform any repairs or replacements to the Premises or Property necessitated by Casualty or Taking, subject to the provisions of Articles 11 and 12. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, neither Basic Rent nor Additional Rent will be reduced, nor will Landlord be liable, for loss or injury to or interference with Tenants property, profits or business arising from or in connection with Landlords performance of its obligations under this Section 7.1. In performing its obligations under this Section 7.1, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenants business in the Premises, including, without limitation, reasonably scheduling all non-emergency work with Tenant.
7.2 Tenants Obligations.
7.2.1 Maintenance of Premises. Except for Landlords obligations expressly set forth in Section 7.1, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will keep and maintain the Premises in good, clean, sanitary, neat and fully operative condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted; provided, however, to the extent that any maintenance or repairs are required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party, Landlord shall be responsible for promptly completing such repairs or maintenance at its sole cost and in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease. Tenants obligations under this Section 7.2.1 include, without limitation, maintenance and repair (including, without limitation, replacements) of all (a) non-structural interior portions, systems and equipment; (b) interior surfaces of exterior walls; (b) interior moldings, partitions and ceilings; (c) slab and floors; (d) windows, plate glass, and doors; (e) lighting, mechanical, heating and air conditioning systems, facilities, fixtures and components serving the Premises, and (f) the utility systems (including electricity, water and sewer) and sprinkler systems, facilities, fixtures and components serving the Premises from the point that such systems, facilities, fixtures and components enter the Premises or connect to the meter serving the Premises (if applicable). Any repairs or replacements performed by Tenant must be at least equal in quality and workmanship to the original work and be in accordance with all Laws. Tenant, will at all times and at Tenants sole cost and expense, keep a preventative maintenance and repair contract in force and effect for the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system serving the Premises. Such contract (including, without limitation, the schedule and scope of services provided and the identity and capabilities of the contractor) must be approved by Landlord in Landlords reasonable discretion.
7.2.2 Tenant Damage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1 or elsewhere in this Lease, if any Tenant Damage occurs Landlord may, at Landlords option and in Landlords sole discretion, require Tenant to (a) pay to or reimburse Landlord for the actual reasonable cost of any repairs or replacements necessitated by such Tenant Damage that are performed by Landlord, and (b) perform, at Tenants sole cost and expense, any repairs or replacements necessitated by such Tenant Damage that are not performed by Landlord.
15
7.2.3 Alterations Required by Laws. If any governmental authority requires any Alteration to the Property or the Premises as a result of Tenants particular use of the Premises or as a result of any Alteration to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant, or if Tenants particular use of the Premises subjects Landlord or the Property to any obligation under any Laws, Tenant will pay the cost of all such Alterations or the cost of compliance, as the case may be. If any such Alterations are Major Alterations, Landlord will have the right to make the Major Alterations, provided that Landlord may first require Tenant to deposit with Landlord an amount reasonably sufficient to pay the cost of the Major Alterations (not including any overhead or administrative costs of Landlord, but including, without limitation, reasonable fees to Landlords contractors). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant will make the Alterations at Tenants sole cost and expense in accordance with Article 8.
7.2.4 Notice to Landlord. If Tenant believes any maintenance or repair that Landlord is obligated under Section 7.1 to perform is needed at the Property, Tenant will promptly provide written notice to Landlord specifying in detail the nature and extent of any condition requiring maintenance or repair. Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to perform its obligations under Section 7.1 with respect to any maintenance or repair unless Tenant has provided such written notice and Landlord has had a commercially reasonable time within which to respond to such notice and effect the needed maintenance or repair. Subject to this Section 7.2.4, if Landlord either (a) fails to commence the repairs or maintenance required under Section 7.1, within five Business Days for non-emergency conditions or two Business Days for emergency conditions (i.e., a condition that creates an imminent and substantial risk of personal injury or substantial property damage), plus in each case any number of days that Landlords ability to commence or complete such cure is delayed or interrupted by any Tenant Delays or other Force Majeure, after receipt of written notice from Tenant identifying such failure (Self-Help Notice), (b) timely commences to cure such required repairs or maintenance after receipt of the Self-Help Notice but thereafter fails to diligently (subject to Tenant Delays or other Force Majeure) prosecute such cure to completion, or (c) fails to dispute in good faith (with reasons stating the basis of its dispute) Tenants rights to self-help within five Business Days for non-emergency conditions or two Business Days for emergency conditions after receipt of the Self-Help Notice, then Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take commercially reasonable actions to effect such required repairs or maintenance, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred and paid by Tenant in connection therewith within 30 days after Tenants delivery to Landlord of a written invoice therefor, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may not undertake any repairs or maintenance under this Section 7.2.4 that affects the structure or roof of the Building, or any (or portions of any) systems or utility lines located outside of the Building, unless (i) there is a condition that materially adversely affects Tenants operations at the Premises and creates an imminent and substantial risk of personal injury, and (ii) Landlord fails to commence the repairs or maintenance required under Section 7.1 within five Business Days, plus any number of days that Landlords ability to commence or complete such cure is delayed or interrupted by any Tenant Delays or other Force Majeure, after Tenants delivery of a second Self-Help Notice.
Article 8 Alterations
8.1 Landlord Approval. Tenant will not make any Major Alterations without Landlords prior written consent, which consent Landlord may grant, withhold or condition in Landlords sole and absolute discretion. Tenant will not make any other Alterations without Landlords prior written consent, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably condition or withhold (and shall be granted or denied within ten Business Days of Tenants written request therefor). Along with any request for Landlords consent, Tenant will deliver to Landlord plans and specifications for the Alterations and names and addresses of all
16
prospective contractors for the Alterations. If Landlord approves the proposed Alterations, Tenant will, before commencing the Alterations or delivering (or accepting delivery of) any materials to be used in connection with the Alterations, deliver to Landlord certificates evidencing the insurance coverages and copies of any bonds required by Section 8.2, copies of all necessary permits and licenses, and such other information relating to the Alterations as Landlord reasonably requests. Tenant will not commence the Alterations before Landlord has provided Landlords written approval of the foregoing deliveries (or has failed to provide such written approval within ten Business Days after Tenants delivery of the foregoing). Tenant will remove any Alterations that Tenant constructs without obtaining Landlords approval (to the extent required hereunder) as provided in this Article 8 within ten Business Days after Landlords written request, unless Landlord has notified Tenant, in writing, that such removal will not be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may make Alterations (that are not Major Alterations) without obtaining Landlords prior written consent, provided that (a) the aggregate costs of such Alterations do not exceed $500,000.00 in any one calendar year, or $2,000,000.00 during the Term, and (b) Tenant has delivered prior written notice of such Alterations to Landlord, as well as the budget and costs thereof, together with a copy of the plans therefor (in cases where plans or a permit are required). Further, Landlords consent shall not be required with respect to cosmetic changes (such as changing carpets, floor coverings, wall coverings, and paint, cabling and wiring).
8.2 Tenant Responsible for Cost and Insurance. Tenant will pay the entire cost and expense of all Alterations, including, without limitation, for any painting, restoring or repairing of the Premises or the Property necessitated by the Alterations and a reasonable charge for Landlords review, inspection and engineering time. Tenant will also obtain and require (a) demolition (if applicable) and payment and performance bonds in an amount not less than the full cost of the Alterations, if and to the extent reasonably required by Landlord (but only when the Alterations affect the roof or structure of the Building or cost in excess of $500,000.00); (b) builders risk or special form insurance in an amount at least equal to the replacement value of the Alterations; and (c) liability insurance insuring Tenant and each of Tenants contractors against construction related risks in at least the form, amounts and coverages required of Tenant under Article 10. The insurance policies described in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 8.2 must name Landlord, Landlords lender (if any) and Property Manager as additional insureds, specifically including completed operations.
8.3 Construction Obligations; Ownership of Alterations. Tenant will notify Landlord in writing 10 days prior to commencing any Alterations in order to provide Landlord the opportunity to record and post notices of non-responsibility or such other protective notices available to Landlord under the Laws. Tenant will cause all Alterations to be constructed (a) promptly by contractors reasonably approved by Landlord as provided above and to the extent Landlord has consent rights over such Alterations; (b) in a good and workmanlike manner; (c) in compliance with all Laws; (d) in a manner that will minimize interference with other tenants use and enjoyment of the Property; and (e) in full compliance with all of Landlords reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations applicable to third party contractors, subcontractors and suppliers performing work at the Property (Landlords current rules and regulations in this regard are set forth on the attached Exhibit I). Landlord may inspect construction of the Alterations. All Alterations (including, without limitation, all telephone, computer, security and other wiring and cabling located within the walls of and outside the Premises, but excluding Tenants Personal Property) become the property of Landlord and a part of the Building immediately upon installation. Unless Landlord requires Tenant to remove the Alterations at the time Landlord consents thereto (with respect to Alterations that require Landlords consent), Tenant will surrender the Alterations to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease at no cost to Landlord; provided, however, that in all cases, Tenant will be required to comply with the restoration requirements set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto and made a part hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may only require the removal of any Alterations to the extent the same consist of (or are of a scope that constitutes) non-typical warehouse and ancillary general office use improvements.
17
8.4 Liens. Tenant will keep the Property free from any mechanics, materialmens, designers or other liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant. Immediately after completing the Alterations, Tenant will furnish Landlord with contractor affidavits and full and final lien waivers covering all labor and materials expended and used in connection with the Alterations. If any liens are filed against the Property and Tenant, within 15 days after written notice of such filing, does not release the same of record or provide Landlord with a bond or other security satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord and the Property against such liens, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based upon such breach by Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, cause such liens to be released by any means Landlord deems proper, including, without limitation, paying the claim giving rise to the lien or posting security to cause the discharge of the lien. In such event, Tenant will reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent and within 30 days after Tenants receipt of a written invoice therefor, for all amounts Landlord pays (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs). Tenant will give Landlord not less than ten Business Days notice prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord will have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the Building as provided by Law. Prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Tenant, Tenant will comply with all applicable laws and ordinances, including, without limitation, mechanic lien statutes NRS 108.2403 through NRS 108.2415. Prior to commencing any work, Tenant will, in accordance with NRS 108.2403, record a notice of posted security and either (i) establish a construction disbursement account and fund the account in an amount equal to the total cost of the work of improvement, obtain the services of a construction control to administer the construction disbursement account, and notify each person who gives Tenant a notice of right to lien of the establishment of the construction disbursement account; or (ii) record a surety bond from a surety licensed to do business in Nevada in an amount equal to not less than 1.5 times the total amount of the construction contract, naming Landlord as an obligee under the surety bond. The surety bond will be recorded in accordance with applicable law (i.e., NRS 108.2415 to 108.2425), inclusive), before commencement of the construction, alternation or repair of the work of improvement and must be payable upon default by Tenant of any undisputed amount pursuant to the construction contract that is due and payable to the prime contractor for more than 30 days. Any Alterations in, on or about the Premises, will be performed in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances, including, without limitation, NRS 108.2403 (requiring Tenant to record a notice of posted security, and either establish a construction disbursement account or record a surety).
8.5 Indemnification. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant releases and will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties and the Property from and against any Claims in any manner relating to or arising out of any Alterations or any other work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant (except to the extent arising out of or resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party).
8.6 Labor Obligations. Landlord has informed Tenant of the possibility, if Tenant, or any of its contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, employees or agents, uses or employs non-union labor in connection with any work performed pursuant to this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 8.1 hereof), that such use may occasion labor disputes, work stoppages or other delays or difficulties in Landlords construction of the Building and Tenants Improvements, Landlords management of the Property, or the fulfillment of other obligations of Landlord under this Lease. Accordingly, and anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Landlord will not be liable or responsible for any delays in the performance of the construction of the Building or Tenants Improvements, or in any other obligations of Landlord hereunder, which may result from any such use or employment of non-union labor; and (b) Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, from and against any and all losses, costs, claims and other damages arising out of or in connection with the use or employment of non-union labor, including, without limitation, costs relating to delays in Landlords prosecution of its work at the Property and reasonable attorneys fees and costs.

Article 9 Rights Reserved by Landlord
9.1 Landlords Entry. Landlord and its authorized representatives may at all reasonable times and upon 24 hours prior written, telephonic or electronic notice to Tenant, except in the case of an emergency in which case no notice shall be required, enter the Premises to (a) inspect the Premises; (b) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees and, within the last 9 months of the Term, tenants; (c) post notices of non-responsibility or other protective notices available under the Laws; or (d) exercise and perform Landlords rights and obligations under this Lease. Landlord may in the event of any emergency enter the Premises without notice to Tenant. Landlords entry into the Premises are not to be construed as a forcible or unlawful entry into, or detainer of, the Premises or as an eviction of Tenant from all or any part of the Premises. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere unreasonably with Tenants use of the Premises, to perform any entries in an expeditious manner and to schedule entries into the Premises under this Section 9.1 with Tenant so that Tenant, at Tenants option, may provide a representative to accompany Landlord. Landlord will not take photographs of any active work areas in the Premises without Tenants prior consent, and Landlord use efforts that are substantially similar to the efforts Landlord would use in protecting its own confidential information, not to disclose any confidential information obtained by any entry into the Premises by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.1, Tenant may designate certain limited areas of the Premises as Secured Areas should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential information. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall not enter such Secured Areas except in the event of an emergency subject to Landlords compliance with the terms of this Section 9.1.
9.2 Control of Property. Landlord reserves all rights respecting the Property and Premises not specifically granted to Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to (a) change the name or street address of the Building; (b) designate and approve all types of signs, window coverings, lighting and other aspects of the Premises that may be visible from the exterior of the Premises; (c) grant any party the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in the Property, provided such exclusive right does not prohibit Tenant from any permitted use for which Tenant is then using the Premises; (d) install and maintain pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and structural elements in the Premises that serve other parts or other tenants of the Property; (e) to the extent that such items could damage the floor slab of the Premises, reasonably approve the weight, size and location of safes and other heavy equipment and articles in and about the Premises and the Property and to require all such items to be moved into and out of the Property and the Premises only at such times and in such manner as Landlord will reasonably direct in writing; and (f) retain and receive master keys or pass keys to the Premises and all doors in the Premises. In exercising the foregoing rights, Landlord will use commercially reasonable steps not to interfere unreasonably with, or to preclude, Tenants use of or access to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord is not responsible for the security of persons or property on or about the Property and Landlord is not and will not be liable in any way whatsoever for any criminal activity or any breach of security on or about the Property.
9.3 Common Area. Except as required by Laws, Landlord shall not make any changes, alterations, additions, deletions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Common Area without the prior written consent of Tenant (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Landlords rights regarding the Common Area include, without limitation, the right to (a) restrain unauthorized persons from using the Common Area; (b) temporarily close any portion of the Common Area; (c) change the shape and size of the Common Area; (d) add, eliminate or change the location of any improvements located in the Common Area and construct buildings or other structures in the Common
19
Area; and (e) impose and revise Property Rules concerning use of the Common Area, including, without limitation, any parking facilities comprising a portion of the Common Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not exercise such rights in a manner that unreasonably interferes with Tenants access to and use of the Premises. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or as required by Laws, the manner in which the Common Area is maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord, provided that Landlord shall maintain and operate the same in a manner that is substantially consistent with comparable projects in North Las Vegas, Nevada (Comparable Projects).
9.4 Right to Cure. If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenants obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, perform any such obligation on Tenants part without waiving any rights based upon such failure and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord shall provide Tenant within a minimum of five Business Days advance written notice of its intent to do so (except in emergencies) and Tenant shall have failed to commence a cure within such five-Business Day period and to have prosecuted such cure to completion as promptly as practicable. Tenant must pay to or reimburse Landlord for, as Additional Rent and within 30 days after receipt of written invoice therefor, all expenditures reasonably made and obligations reasonably incurred by Landlord pursuant to this Section 9.4.
Article 10 Insurance
10.1 Tenants Insurance. Tenant will at all times during the Term and during any early occupancy period, at Tenants sole cost and expense, maintain the insurance this Section 10.1 requires.
10.1.1 Liability Insurance. Tenant will maintain commercial general liability insurance providing coverage at least as broad as the current ISO form on an occurrence basis, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate and umbrella/excess liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, that applies excess of required commercial general liability, business automobile liability, and employers liability policies with minimum limits of $5,000,000 each occurrence and $5,000,000 annual aggregate. Tenants liability insurance will (a) include Landlord, Property Manager and the other Landlord Parties as additional insureds with respect to all matters arising out of the occupancy or use of the Premises or Property by Tenant; (b) be primary to any other insurance maintained by the Landlord Parties; (c) be placed and maintained with companies rated at least A/VII by A.M. Best Insurance Service or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (d) include contractual liability coverage. Such insurance may have a reasonable deductible but may not include self-insured retention in excess of $25,000 (unless Landlord otherwise reasonably consents, in writing, on the basis of Tenants tangible net worth). If Tenants liability insurance is provided under a blanket policy, the above coverage limits must be made specifically applicable to the Premises on a per location basis. Tenant will deliver an appropriate ACORD Form certificate or other evidence of insurance satisfactory to Landlord (i) prior to any use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, (ii) not later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any current policy or certificate, and (iii) at such other times as Landlord may reasonably request.
10.1.2 Property Insurance. Tenant will, at all times during the Term, maintain on any alterations, additions, or improvements made by or for Tenant upon the Premises (including, without limitation, all of Tenants Improvements and any and all Alterations) and on all of Tenants Personal Property a policy or policies of special cause of loss (special form) property insurance (or an equivalent form reasonably acceptable to Landlord) insuring such property to the extent of its full replacement cost and including, without limitation, vandalism, malicious mischief, mechanical breakdown and sprinkler leakage endorsements, the proceeds of which will, so long as this Lease is in effect, be used for the repair or replacement of such Tenants Personal Property so insured. Landlord will be named as loss payee with respect to the alterations, additions, or improvements made by Tenant to the Premises. Each of Tenants Personal Property and any alterations, additions, or improvements made by Tenant to the Premises are located at the Property at Tenants sole risk, and except for Tenants Unreleased Casualty Claims, Landlord is not liable for any Casualty to such property or for any other damage, theft, misappropriation or loss of such property.
20
10.1.3 Other Insurance. Tenant will maintain at all times during the Term (a) business automobile liability insurance covering owned, hired and non-owned vehicles with limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence, (b) workers compensation and employers liability insurance, which insurance will comply with Tenants obligations to its employees under the laws of the state in which the Premises are located and which employers liability insurance will afford limits not less than $500,000 per accident, $500,000 per employee for bodily injury by disease, and $500,000 policy limit for bodily injury by disease, (c) business income and extra expense insurance with limits not less than 100% of all charges payable by Tenant under this lease for a period of 12 months, and (d) pollution liability insurance, if reasonably required by Landlord given Tenants particular use of the Premises. In addition, if insurance obligations generally required of tenants in similar space in similar buildings in the area in which the Premises are located increase or otherwise change after the initial five years of the Term, Landlord may similarly change Tenants insurance obligations under this Lease.
10.2 Landlords Insurance. Landlord will at all times during the Term maintain the insurance this Section 10.2 requires, which insurance shall be comparable with the insurance being obtained by reasonably prudent landlords of Comparable Projects.
10.2.1 Property Insurance. Landlord will maintain insurance on the Property providing coverage comparable to that provided by a standard ISO special causes of loss form property insurance policy in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Building (less foundation, grading and excavation costs). Landlord may, at its option, obtain such additional coverages or endorsements as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. Landlord may maintain such insurance in whole or in part under blanket policies. Such insurance will cover Tenants Improvements installed in the Building but will not cover or be applicable to any of Tenants Personal Property.
10.2.2 Liability Insurance. Landlord will maintain commercial general liability insurance for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage occurring at the Property with such liability limits as Landlord reasonably deems necessary or appropriate. Such liability insurance will protect only Landlord and, at Landlords option, Landlords lender and some or all of the Landlord Parties, and does not protect Tenant or replace or supplement the liability insurance this Lease obligates Tenant to carry.
10.3 Waivers and Releases of Claims and Subrogation.
10.3.1 Tenants Waiver and Release. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, and except for Tenants Unreleased Casualty Claims, Tenant, on behalf of Tenant and its insurers, waives, releases and discharges the Landlord Parties from all Claims for any Casualty to the Premises, Property or Tenants Personal Property, and any resulting loss of use or business interruption, regardless of whether such Casualty is caused by the negligent acts or omissions of any person or entity (including Landlord or Tenant). Tenant will look only to any insurance coverage Tenant may elect to maintain (regardless of whether Tenant actually obtains any such coverage or whether such coverage is sufficient) with respect to the Claims that Tenant is waiving, releasing and discharging under this Section 10.3.1. Any property insurance Tenant maintains must permit or include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Landlord Parties consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3.1.
21
10.3.2 Landlords Waiver and Release. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, and except for Landlords Unreleased Casualty Claims, Landlord, on behalf of Landlord and its insurers, waives, releases and discharges the Tenant Parties from all Claims for any Casualty to the Property or Landlords Personal Property, and any resulting loss of use or business interruption, regardless of whether such Casualty is caused by the negligent acts or omissions of any person or entity (including Landlord or Tenant). Landlord will look only to any insurance coverage Landlord may elect to maintain (regardless of whether Landlord actually obtains any such coverage or whether such coverage is sufficient) with respect to the Claims Landlord is waiving, releasing and discharging under this Section 10.3.2. Any property insurance Landlord maintains must permit or include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Tenant Parties consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3.2.
10.3.3 Limitation on Waivers of Claims. The provisions of Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 above, (a) do not limit the duty of Landlord and Tenant to perform their respective obligations under Article 5, Article 7 or Article 11, (b) apply only with respect to the Landlord Parties and the Tenant Parties and do not limit or waive, release or discharge any Claims that either Landlord or Tenant may have against any third-party person or entity (including, without limitation, any contractor, service provider, agent, licensee, or invitee that is not a Landlord Party or a Tenant Party) arising from any Casualty to the Premises, Property, Tenants Personal Property or Landlords Personal Property caused by any such third party, and (c) do not apply to Tenants liability under this Lease with respect to Tenant Damage or to Claims arising out of Tenants failure to perform its duties and obligations under Article 5.
10.4 Tenants Failure to Insure. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with evidence of insurance as required under Section 10.1, and if such failure is not cured by Tenant within five days after Landlords request therefor, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, obtain such insurance for Landlords benefit without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation contained in or default under this Lease. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent and within 30 days after a written request therefor, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses Landlord reasonably incurs in obtaining such insurance.
10.5 No Limitation. Landlords establishment of minimum liability insurance requirements for Tenant in this Lease is not a representation by Landlord that such limits are sufficient and does not limit Tenants liability under this Lease in any manner.
Article 11 Damage or Destruction
11.1 Tenantable Within 270 Days. If any Casualty renders the whole or any material part of the Premises untenantable and Landlord determines (in Landlords reasonable discretion) that Landlord can make the whole Premises tenantable within 270 days after the date of the Casualty, then Landlord will notify Tenant of such determination within 60 days after the date of the Casualty. Landlords notice will specify the anticipated date the Premises would be made tenantable. If based upon such anticipated date, the repairs will take longer than 30 days and less than 12 months will remain in the Term upon completion, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notifying the other within 15 days after the date of Landlords notice, which termination will be effective 30 days after the date of such notice of termination.
11.2 Not Tenantable Within 270 Days. If any Casualty renders the whole or any material part of the Premises untenantable and Landlord determines (in Landlords reasonable discretion) that Landlord cannot make the whole Premises tenantable within 270 days after the date of the Casualty, then Landlord will notify Tenant of such determination (including the anticipated date of restoration) within 60 days after the date of the Casualty. Landlord may, in such notice, terminate this Lease effective on the date 30 days after the date of Landlords notice. If Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, and provided the Casualty was not caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Party, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord within 15 days after the date of Landlords notice, which termination will be effective 30 days after the date of Tenants notice.
22
11.3 [Intentionally Omitted]
11.4 Insufficient Proceeds. If Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds (excluding the amount of any policy deductible) to repair all damage to the Premises or the Property caused by any Casualty, or if Landlords lender does not allow Landlord to use sufficient proceeds to repair all such damage, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3, Landlord may, at Landlords option, by notifying Tenant within 60 days after the Casualty, terminate this Lease effective on the date 30 days after the date of Landlords notice.
11.5 Landlords Repair; Rent Abatement. If this Lease is not terminated under Sections 11.1 through 11.4 following any Casualty, then Landlord will repair and restore the Premises and the Property to as near their condition prior to the Casualty as is reasonably practicable with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed (subject to Landlords rights under Section 7.2.2 with respect to Tenant Damage). Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses for any period during which the Premises are untenantable as a result of the Casualty will be abated on a per diem basis; provided, however, that if only a portion of the Premises are untenantable, then any such abatement will be pro rata (based upon the rentable area of the untenantable portion of the Premises from time to time as compared with the rentable area of the entire Premises) and Tenant will continue to pay Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses for any portion of the Premises that is tenantable; and provided further, however, that if the Premises are damaged such that the remaining portion thereof is not sufficient to allow Tenant reasonably to conduct its business operations from such remaining portion and Tenant does not conduct its business operations therefrom, Landlord shall allow Tenant a total abatement of Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the permitted use hereunder, and not occupied by Tenant as a result of the subject damage (including, in the event that Tenant performs such repairs, abatement during a commercially reasonable period of build-out time (not to exceed 90 days plus 60 days for planning and permitting) and a weekend for move-in). In no event is Landlord obligated to repair or restore any Alterations that have not been previously disclosed to and approved by Landlord, any special equipment or fixtures installed by Tenant, or any other Tenants Personal Property. Landlord will, if necessary, equitably adjust Tenants Share of Property Expenses Percentage to account for any reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or Building resulting from a Casualty. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually completed within the later of 270 days following the date of discovery of the damage or the timeframe set forth in Landlords estimate, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five Business Days of each calendar month following the end of such period until such time as the repairs are complete, by written notice to Landlord (Damage Termination Notice), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (Damage Termination Date), which Damage Termination Date shall not be less than ten Business Days nor more than 90 days following the end of each such month. At any time, from time to time, after the date occurring 60 days after the date the damage is discovered, Tenant may request that Landlord provide Tenant with a certificate from the architect or contractor described above setting forth such architects or contractors reasonable estimate of the date of substantial completion of the repairs and Landlord shall respond to such request within ten Business Days.
11.6 Rent Abatement if Lease Terminates. If this Lease is terminated under any of Sections 11.1 through 11.4 following any Casualty, then Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses for any period during which the Premises are untenantable as a result of the Casualty will be abated on a per diem basis; provided, however, that if only a portion of the Premises are untenantable, then any such abatement will be pro rata (based upon the rentable area of the untenantable portion of the Premises from time to time as compared with the rentable area of the entire Premises) and Tenant will continue to pay Rent for any portion of the Premises that is tenantable until this Lease terminates; and provided further, however, that if the Premises are damaged such that the remaining portion thereof is not sufficient to allow Tenant reasonably to conduct its business operations from such remaining portion and Tenant does not conduct its business operations therefrom, Landlord shall allow Tenant a total abatement of Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the permitted use hereunder, and not occupied by Tenant as a result of the subject damage.
23
11.7 Exclusive Casualty Remedy. The provisions of this Article 11 are Tenants sole and exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Casualty. To the extent permitted by the Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination rights (by virtue of a Casualty) not specifically described in this Article 11.
11.8 Notice to Landlord. If any Casualty to any portion of the Premises or Property occurs, Tenant will provide written notice of such Casualty to Landlord as soon as reasonably practicable. None of the obligations of Landlord under this Article 11 will be deemed to have arisen unless and until Landlord has received actual notice that the Casualty has occurred and has had a commercially reasonable time within which to respond to such notice. Tenant is liable to Landlord for any uninsured loss or other Claims Landlord incurs if (a) Tenant fails to timely report any Casualty to the Premises or (to the extent Tenant has actual knowledge thereof) the Property or Landlords Personal Property to Landlord, (b) Landlord does not otherwise have actual knowledge of such Casualty, and (c) the failure to timely report such Casualty results in Landlords property insurance carrier refusing to cover all or any portion of the loss.
Article 12 Eminent Domain
12.1 Termination of Lease. If a Condemning Authority desires to effect a Taking of all or any material part of the Property, Landlord will notify Tenant and Landlord and Tenant will reasonably determine whether the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenants intended purposes. If Landlord and Tenant reasonably conclude that the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenants intended purposes, Landlord and Tenant will document such determination and this Lease will terminate as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken. Tenant will pay Rent to the date of termination. If a Condemning Authority takes all or any material part of the Building or if a Taking reduces the value of the Property by 50% or more (as reasonably determined by Landlord), regardless of whether the Premises is affected and regardless of whether the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenants intended purposes, then Landlord, at Landlords option, by notifying Tenant prior to the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken, may terminate this Lease effective on the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken.
12.2 Landlords Repair Obligations. If this Lease does not terminate with respect to the entire Premises under Section 12.1 and the Taking includes a portion of the Premises, this Lease automatically terminates as to the portion of the Premises taken as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion taken and Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete architectural unit with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed and will reduce the Basic Rent for the period after the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Premises taken to a sum equal to the product of the Basic Rent provided for in this Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Premises after the Taking and after Landlord restores the Premises to a complete architectural unit, and the denominator of which is the rentable area of the Premises prior to the Taking. Landlord will also equitably adjust Tenants Share of Property Expenses Percentage for the same period to account for the reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or the Building resulting from the Taking. Tenants obligation to pay Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Property Expenses will abate on a proportionate basis with respect to that portion of the Premises remaining after the Taking that Tenant is unable to use during Landlords restoration for the period of time that Tenant is unable to use such portion of the Premises.
24
12.3 Tenants Participation. Landlord is entitled to receive and keep all damages, awards or payments resulting from or paid on account of a Taking. Accordingly, Tenant waives and assigns to Landlord any interest of Tenant in any such damages, awards or payments. Tenant may prove in separate Taking proceedings and may receive a separate award for damages to or Taking of Tenants Personal Property and for moving expenses; provided however, that Tenant has no right to receive any award for its interest in this Lease or for loss of leasehold.
12.4 Exclusive Taking Remedy. The provisions of this Article 12 are Tenants sole and exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Taking. To the extent permitted by the Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination rights or any right to receive any payment or award (by virtue of a Taking) not specifically described in this Article 12.
Article 13 Transfers
13.1 Restriction on Transfers. Tenant will not cause or allow a Transfer without obtaining Landlords prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld and shall be granted or denied within ten Business Days. Tenants request for consent to a Transfer must describe in detail the parties, terms, portion of the Premises, and other circumstances involved in the proposed Transfer. Landlord will notify Tenant of Landlords election to consent or withhold consent within ten Business Days of Landlords receipt of such a written request for consent to the Transfer from Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord has not notified Tenant of Landlords election within such ten-Business Day period, then Tenant will deliver a second request for consent to Landlord in accordance with this Section 13.1, and Landlords failure to respond within five Business Days after its receipt of such second request shall be deemed Landlords approval of such proposed Transfer. Tenant will provide Landlord with any additional information Landlord reasonably requests regarding the proposed Transfer or the proposed Transferee. No Transfer releases Tenant from any liability or obligation under this Lease and Tenant remains liable to Landlord after such a Transfer as a principal and not as a surety. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall have the right to sublease all or any portion of the Premises following notice thereof to Landlord, but without Landlords consent. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, 50% of the amount Tenant receives on account of the Transfer, net of Tenants reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the Transfer, including, without limitation, marketing costs, commissions, legal fees, and any concessions or allowances provided to the transferee (collectively, Transfer Costs), in excess of the amounts this Lease otherwise requires Tenant to pay; provided, however, under no circumstances shall Landlord be paid any such Additional Rent until Tenant has recovered all of its Transfer Costs, it being understood that if in any year the gross revenues from the Transfer are less than the Transfer Costs, the amount of the excess Transfer Costs shall be carried over to the next year and then deducted from the gross revenues from the Transfer for such succeeding year until positive net revenues are achieved. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Lease is null and void and constitutes an Event of Default under this Lease.
13.2 Costs. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses Landlord incurs in connection with any Transfer, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs, regardless of whether Landlord consents to the Transfer (not to exceed $2,500.00 in aggregate per request, to be increased 3% per year for inflation during the Term).
13.3 Landlords Consent Standards. For purposes of Section 13.1 and in addition to any other reasonable grounds for denial, Landlords consent to a Transfer will be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Landlords reasonable and good faith judgment, any one or more of the following apply: (a) the proposed transferee does not have the financial strength to perform the obligations under the Transfer document or this Lease; (b) the proposed transferee does not have a good business reputation; (c) the use of the Premises by the proposed transferee is for something other than the permitted use and would, in Landlords
25
reasonable judgment, impact the Building or the Property in a negative manner; (d) the Transfer would require an Alteration to the Building or the Property to comply with applicable Laws (unless the Alteration is permitted or approved under Article 8); (e) the transferee is a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof); (f) a proposed transferee whose occupancy will require any variation in the terms and conditions of this Lease; or (g) an Event of Default, or an event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice would result in an Event of Default, exists under this Lease at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed Transfer.
13.4 Transfers to Affiliates. Provided that no Event of Default, or event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, exists under this Lease, Tenant may, without Landlords consent, (a) assign this Lease to an Affiliate of Tenant, (b) sell corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant or in a Tenant Affiliate in connection with an initial public offering of Tenants or such Tenant Affiliates stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, (c) assign this Lease to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the stock, interests or assets of Tenant or in a Tenant Affiliate, or (d) assign this Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or a Tenant Affiliate, in all cases if (i) Tenant notifies Landlord not less than ten Business Days prior to such Transfer; and (ii) the transferee assumes and agrees in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord to perform Tenants obligations under this Lease and to observe all terms and conditions of this Lease. A Transfer under this Section 13.4 (or any other Transfer) does not release Tenant from any liability or obligation under this Lease.
Article 14 Defaults; Remedies
14.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following constitutes an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the notices required by this Section 14.1 are intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by the Laws and are not in addition to any such requirements.
14.1.1 Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant fails to pay Basic Rent, any monthly installment of Tenants Share of Property Expenses or any other Additional Rent amount as and when due, and such failure is not cured within five days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenants failure.
14.1.2 Failure to Perform. Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenants non-monetary obligations under this Lease and such breach or failure is not cured within 30 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenants breach or failure; provided that if Tenant is not able through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or failure within a 30-day period, Tenants breach or failure is not an Event of Default if Tenant commences to cure such breach or failure within the 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant is not entitled to such a cure period before a breach or failure of this Lease becomes an Event of Default if (a) the breach or failure would subject Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties to criminal liability, (b) Tenant causes or allows a Transfer in violation of the terms of Article 13 hereof, (c) the breach or failure is otherwise a breach or failure under Section 14.1.3 or 14.1.4 hereof, (d) Tenant fails to maintain insurance (or to timely provide Landlord with evidence of such insurance) as required under Article 10 hereof within five Business Days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenants failure, or (e) Tenant fails to timely deliver an estoppel certificate as required by Section 15.4 hereof within five Business Days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenants failure.
14.1.3 Misrepresentation. The existence of any material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements, correspondence or other information provided to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with (a) Tenants negotiation or execution of this Lease; (b) Landlords evaluation of Tenant as a prospective tenant at the Property; (c) any proposed or attempted Transfer; or (d) any consent or approval Tenant requests under this Lease.
26
14.1.4 Other Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following: (a) Tenants filing of a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or Tenants making a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or the filing of a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement, by or against Tenant and such filing not being dismissed within 60 days; (c) the entry of an order for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted which is not dismissed or expunged within 60 days; (d) the appointment of a custodian, as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code (or of an equivalent thereto under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted), for Tenant, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenants assets (or Tenants assets located at the Premises) or of Tenants interest in this Lease which is not dismissed within 60 days; or (e) the subjection of all or substantially all of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not dismissed within 60 days. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any act described in this Section 14.1.4 does not constitute an Event of Default, and the court appoints a trustee to take possession of the Premises (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession of the Premises) and such trustee or Tenant Transfers Tenants interest hereunder, then Landlord is entitled to receive the same amount of Additional Rent as Landlord would be entitled to receive if such a Transfer had occurred pursuant to Section 13.1.
14.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand and without preventing Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy, exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
14.2.1 Termination of Tenants Possession/Re-Entry and Reletting Right. Terminate Tenants right to possess the Premises by any lawful means with or without terminating this Lease, in which event Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, this Lease continues in full force and effect (except for Tenants right to possess the Premises) and Tenant continues to be obligated for and must pay all Rent as and when due under this Lease. Unless Landlord specifically states that it is terminating this Lease, Landlords termination of Tenants right to possess the Premises is not to be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenants obligations and liabilities under this Lease. If Landlord terminates Tenants right to possess the Premises, Landlord is not obligated to, but may re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises. Landlord may store any property Landlord removes from the Premises in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant fails to pay the storage charges therefor as and when due, Landlord may deem such property abandoned and cause such property to be sold or otherwise disposed of without further obligation or any accounting to Tenant. Upon such re-entry, Landlord is not obligated to, but may relet all or any part of the Premises to a third party or parties for Tenants account. Tenant is immediately liable to Landlord for all Re-Entry Costs and must pay Landlord the same within 30 days after Landlords written notice to Tenant. Landlord may relet the Premises for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term. If Landlord relets all or any part of the Premises, Tenant remains obligated to pay all Rent when due under this Lease; provided that Landlord will, on a monthly basis, credit any Net Rent received for the current month against Tenants Rent obligation for the next succeeding month. If the Net Rent received for any month exceeds Tenants Rent obligation for the succeeding month, Landlord may retain the surplus.
27
14.2.2 Termination of Lease. Terminate this Lease effective on the date Landlord specifies in Landlords notice to Tenant. Upon termination, Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in Article 16. Such termination will not extinguish any obligations that survive termination as provided elsewhere in this Lease. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand all damages Landlord incurs by reason of Tenants default, including, without limitation, (a) all Rent due and payable under this Lease as of the effective date of the termination; (b) any amount necessary to compensate Landlord for any detriment proximately caused Landlord by Tenants failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that in the ordinary course would likely result from Tenants failure to perform, including, without limitation, any Re-Entry Costs; (c) an amount equal to the amount by which (i) the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of the Rent for the balance of the Term remaining after the effective date of the termination (assuming no termination) exceeds (ii) the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of a fair market Rent for the Premises for the same period (as reasonably determined); and (d) Tenants Share of Property Expenses as of the effective date of the termination to the extent Landlord is not otherwise reimbursed for such Property Expenses (subject to reconciliation hereunder). For purposes of this Section 14.2.2, Landlord will compute present worth by utilizing the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percentage point.
14.2.3 Other Remedies. Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State. All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more remedies at any time or from time to time does not limit or preclude the further exercise by Landlord of the same or any other rights or remedies at any time or from time to time. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages it incurs as a result of an Event of Default.
14.3 Costs. Tenant will reimburse and compensate Landlord, within 30 days of Tenants receipt of a written demand and as Additional Rent, for any actual loss Landlord incurs in connection with, resulting from or related to any Event of Default, and regardless of whether suit is commenced or judgment is entered. Such loss includes all reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses (including paralegal fees, expert fees, and other professional fees and expenses) Landlord incurs investigating, negotiating, settling or enforcing any of Landlords rights or remedies or otherwise protecting Landlords interests under this Lease. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord is entitled to reimbursement of all of Landlords fees, expenses and damages, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and paralegal and other professional fees and expenses, Landlord incurs in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Tenant including, without limitation, any proceeding under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code; by exercising and advocating rights under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; by proposing a plan of reorganization and objecting to competing plans; and by filing motions for relief from stay. Such fees and expenses are payable on demand, or, in any event, upon assumption or rejection of this Lease in bankruptcy.
14.4 Waiver of Re-Entry Claims. Tenant waives and releases all Claims Tenant may have resulting from Landlords re-entry and taking possession of the Premises pursuant to this Article 14 by any lawful means and removing, storing or disposing of Tenants property as permitted under this Lease, regardless of whether this Lease is terminated and, to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant releases and, to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any and all Claims arising therefrom. No such re-entry is to be considered or construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.
14.5 Landlords Default. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord breaches or fails to perform any of Landlords obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for a period of 30 days after Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of Landlords breach or failure; provided that if Landlord is not able through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cure the breach
28
or failure within such 30-day period, Landlords breach or failure is not a default as long as Landlord commences to cure its breach or failure within the 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion. If Landlord defaults in any of its maintenance or repair obligations under this Lease and has not cured such default within the aforesaid 30-day period, or if Landlord has not commenced the cure of such default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursued such cure, then Tenant may take such steps to cure such default as may be reasonably required. Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs and expenses of such cure within 30 days after Tenant has provided Landlord with a written statement thereof, together with reasonable supporting documentation. In the event that (a) Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant as provided under this Section 14.5, (b) Tenant obtains a judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction for monetary damages against Landlord, and (c) Landlord has failed to pay or satisfy such judgment within 30 days after the entry thereof, then Tenant will have the right to deduct the amount of the judgment from Basic Rent payments thereafter accruing under this Lease. In addition to the foregoing, in the event of a Landlord default (after the expiration of the aforesaid notice and cure period), Tenant will have all remedies available to it under applicable Laws.
14.6 No Waiver. No failure by either Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the performance of any provision of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy upon a breach or default hereof constitutes a waiver of any such breach or default. Any such waiver may be made only by a writing signed by the party providing the waiver. One or more waivers by a party is not to be construed as a waiver by that party of a subsequent breach or default of the same provision.
Article 15 Creditors; Estoppel Certificates
15.1 Subordination. Subject to Tenants receipt of an SNDA as provided below in this Section 15.1, this Lease, all rights of Tenant in this Lease, and all interest or estate of Tenant in the Property, are subject and subordinate to any Mortgage. At any time or times that a Mortgage encumbers the Property, or any portion thereof, Landlord will deliver to Tenant an SNDA executed by the then-existing Mortgage holder. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that there is no Mortgage with respect to the Property as of the Effective Date. Tenant will then execute and deliver such SNDA to Landlord within ten Business Days. In addition, within ten Business Days after delivery of Landlords written request, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord or to any other person Landlord designates, any other instruments, releases or other documents reasonably required to confirm the self-effectuating subordination of this Lease as provided in this Section 15.1 to any Mortgage. The lien of any existing or future Mortgage will not cover Tenants Personal Property.
15.2 Attornment. If any ground lessor, the holder of any Mortgage at a foreclosure sale or any other transferee acquires Landlords interest in this Lease, the Premises or the Property, Tenant will attorn to and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, that such attornment will not waive any of Tenants rights under Section 15.1. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law that gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlords interest.
15.3 Mortgagee Protection Clause. Tenant will give the holder of any Mortgage, by registered mail or overnight courier, a copy of any notice of default Tenant serves on Landlord, provided that Landlord or the holder of the Mortgage previously notified Tenant (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases or otherwise) of the address of such holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then Tenant will provide written notice of such failure to such holder and such holder will have an additional 30 days after the later of (a) receipt of such notice, or (b) the expiration of Landlords cure period, within which to cure the default. If the default cannot reasonably be cured within that additional 30-day period, then the holder will have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to effect the cure if, within the 30-day period, the holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the cure.
29
15.4 Estoppel Certificates.
15.4.1 Contents. Within ten Business Days of its receipt of Landlords written request, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord certifying: (a) that this Lease (and all guaranties, if any) is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications); (b) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (c) the last date of payment of Rent and the time period covered by such payment; (d) whether, to Tenants actual knowledge, there are then existing any breaches or defaults by Landlord under this Lease known to Tenant, and, if so, specifying the same; (e) specifying any existing claims or defenses in favor of Tenant (then actually known by Tenant) against the enforcement of this Lease (or of any guaranties); and (f) such other factual statements as Landlord, any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser may reasonably request. Tenant will deliver the statement to Landlord within ten Business Days after Landlords request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser of all or any part of the Property and any such party may conclusively rely upon such statement as true and correct.
15.4.2 Failure to Deliver. If Tenant does not timely deliver to Landlord the statement referenced in Section 15.4.1, Landlord and any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser may conclusively presume and rely that, except as otherwise represented by Landlord, (a) the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed; (b) this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (c) not more than one months Rent has been paid in advance; and (d) Landlord is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease. In such event, Tenant is estopped from denying the truth of such facts.
Article 16 Surrender; Holding Over
16.1 Surrender of Premises. In accordance with the specifications and requirements set forth in Exhibit H and Article 8 Tenant will surrender the Premises to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear, Casualty (subject to Landlords rights with respect to Tenant Damage) and Taking excepted, and will surrender all keys to the Premises to Property Manager or to Landlord at the place then fixed for Tenants payment of Basic Rent or as Landlord or Property Manager otherwise reasonably directs. Tenant will at such time remove all of Tenants Personal Property from the Property and, if Landlord so requires as permitted under this Lease, all specified Alterations that Tenant placed on the Property; provided, however, that in all cases, Tenant will be required to comply with the restoration requirements set forth in Exhibit H. Tenant will promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Property caused by such removal. Tenant will also inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, that Tenant is allowed to leave at the Property. Tenant releases and, to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, will be liable for, and will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless Landlord from and against, any Claim resulting from Tenants failure or delay in surrendering the Premises in accordance with this Section 16.1 (except to the extent caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct of any Landlord Party), including, without limitation, any Claim due to the loss of, or made by, any succeeding occupant founded on such delay (provided that Tenant is notified by Landlord in writing of such succeeding occupant at least 30 days in advance). All property of Tenant not removed on or before the last day of the Term is deemed abandoned. Landlord may remove all such abandoned property from the Property and cause its transportation and storage in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant fails to pay the storage charges therefor Landlord may cause such property to be sold or otherwise disposed of without further obligation or any accounting to Tenant. Landlord will not be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss of any such property or in any other manner in respect thereto.
30
16.2 Holding Over. If Tenant possesses the Premises after the Term expires or is otherwise terminated without executing a new lease, but with Landlords written consent, such occupancy will be subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Tenant will pay Landlord a charge for each day of occupancy after expiration of the Term in an amount equal to 125% of Tenants then-existing Basic Rent (on a daily basis), plus all Additional Rent as described in this Lease. If Tenant possesses the Premises after the Term expires or is otherwise terminated without executing a new lease and without Landlords written consent, Tenant is deemed to be occupying the Premises without claim of right (but subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease) and, in addition to Tenants liability for failing to surrender possession of the Premises as provided in Section 16.1, Tenant will pay Landlord a charge for each day of occupancy after expiration of the Term in an amount equal to 150% of Tenants then-existing Basic Rent (on a daily basis), plus all Additional Rent as described in this Lease.
Article 17 Tenants Improvements
17.1 Tenants Improvements. Landlord will cause Tenants Improvements to be constructed, at Landlords sole cost and expense; provided, however, that Tenant will be solely responsible for (a) all costs and expenses related to any Change Orders, which costs and expenses will be determined and will be payable as provided in Section 17.2 hereof, (b) the design and installation of, and all costs and expenses related to, all furniture, fixtures, equipment and personal property that are not specified in the preliminary outline specifications attached hereto as Exhibit F (Outline Specifications) (including, without limitation, costs associated with the preparation and approval of Tenants racking plan and the installation of Tenants racking in the Premises) and all telephone, computer, data and other wiring and cabling, to be located in the Premises, and (c) all costs and expenses related to any Tenant Delays, which costs and expenses will be determined in the same manner as the determination of Change Order Costs, and will be payable within 30 days after Landlords invoice to Tenant.
17.1.1 Design; Compliance with Laws. Tenants Improvements will be designed as described in this Article 17. Tenants Improvements will automatically become the property of Landlord and a part of the Building immediately upon installation. Subject to this Article 17, Landlord will complete, or cause the completion of, the construction of Tenants Improvements (other than with respect to Tenants use thereof and other than as Landlord and Tenant may otherwise agree with respect to any particular design requests of Tenant, which compliance will be the responsibility of Tenant), in substantial accordance with all Laws applicable thereto. Among other things, Landlord will be responsible for the compliance of Tenants Improvements (other than with respect to the items for which Tenant is responsible and as aforesaid with respect to Tenants use and particular design requests) with the ADA, as the same are in effect and enforced by governmental or other bodies having jurisdiction over such matters as of the Effective Date (the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy will confirm compliance with all applicable codes and ordinances). All other compliance with Laws (including, without limitation, all other compliance with the ADA), in all cases as the same are from time to time in effect and enforced by the governmental or other bodies having jurisdiction over such matters, will be the sole responsibility of Tenant (except as expressly set forth in this Lease).
17.1.2 Issued for Construction Plans. Landlord will provide Tenant with proposed Issued for Construction Plans. Such proposed Issued for Construction Plans will be consistent with the Outline Specifications and the Site Plan. Within five Business Days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant the proposed Issued for Construction Plans, Tenant will notify Landlord of any desired revisions thereto. All such revisions (if any) that Tenant desires must be entirely consistent with the Outline Specifications
31
and the Site Plan. If Tenant notifies Landlord within the aforesaid five-Business Day period of Tenants approval of the proposed Issued for Construction Plans without requesting any revisions thereto, or if Tenant fails to notify Landlord within such five-Business Day period, then the proposed Issued for Construction Plans will automatically become the final Issued for Construction Plans hereunder. If Tenant notifies Landlord within the aforesaid five-Business Day period and requests revisions to the proposed Issued for Construction Plans that satisfy the conditions of this Section 17.1.2 but that do not constitute Change Orders (as reasonably determined by Landlord), then Landlord will revise the proposed Issued for Construction Plans in accordance with the request, and such revised Issued for Construction Plans will automatically become the final Issued for Construction Plans hereunder. If Tenant notifies Landlord within the aforesaid five-Business Day period and requests revisions to the proposed Issued for Construction Plans that satisfy the conditions of this Section 17.1.2 and that do constitute Change Orders (as reasonably determined by Landlord), then Landlord will notify Tenant, in writing, as to the cost of and the anticipated delay in completing such revisions. Tenant will then notify Landlord, in writing, within two Business Days after its receipt of Landlords aforesaid notification as to which (if any) of the requested revisions Tenant still desires. If Tenant notifies Landlord within the aforesaid two-Business Day period of its approval of some or all of the requested revisions (and the additional cost and delay thereof), then Landlord will revise the proposed Issued for Construction Plans in accordance with the approval, and such revised Issued for Construction Plans will automatically become the final Issued for Construction Plans hereunder. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its approval or disapproval of some or all of the requested revisions (and the additional cost and delay thereof) within the aforesaid two-Business Day period, then Tenant will be deemed to have withdrawn all of its requested revisions to the proposed Issued for Construction Plans (to the extent that such revisions constitute Change Orders as aforesaid), and the proposed Issued for Construction Plans will automatically become the final Issued for Construction Plans hereunder. All delays in the finalization of the Issued for Construction Plans caused by Tenants request for any revisions to the proposed Issued for Construction Plans will constitute Tenant Delays hereunder. The final version of the Issued for Construction Plans approved by both Landlord and Tenant will supersede the Outline Specifications except as to any non-construction matters described in the Outline Specifications.
17.2 Change Orders. With respect to Tenants Improvements, Tenant may request Change Orders that are commercially reasonable. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Tenant (and not Landlord) will be responsible and liable hereunder for any delay in the construction of Tenants Improvements, or any portion thereof, and for any additional costs with respect thereto, to the extent that such delay or additional costs result from a Change Order, and (b) no Change Order will be effected if it is not permitted by applicable building and zoning regulations or other Laws, as the same are then interpreted and enforced by the appropriate authorities having jurisdiction thereof.
17.2.1 Change Order Payments. Before proceeding with any work that is the subject of a Change Order, Landlord may require Tenant to deposit with Landlord an amount equal to Landlords estimate of the Change Order Cost thereof; provided, however, that Tenant may elect in writing to apply any then unallocated portion of the Allowance to any such deposit. Following the completion of Tenants Improvements, Landlord (a) will reasonably determine the actual Change Order Costs of all Change Orders, (b) will reconcile such actual costs with the deposits (if any) (or credits from unallocated portions of the Allowance) theretofore made by Tenant, and (c) will notify Tenant, in writing, of such determination and reconciliation. In the event that such reconciliation shows that the amount of any deposits theretofore made by Tenant (together with credits from unused portions of the Allowance) exceeds the actual Change Order Costs of all Change Orders, then the excess will be credited against the Basic Rent payments due hereunder from and after the Commencement Date (beginning with the first Basic Rent payment due after Landlords delivery of the aforesaid reconciliation notification), until the full amount of such excess has been so applied. In the alternative, at Landlords sole election, Landlord will pay the full amount of such excess to Tenant within 30 days after Landlords delivery of the aforesaid reconciliation notification. On the other hand, in the event that such reconciliation shows that the actual Change Order Costs of all Change Orders
32
exceed the amount of any deposits theretofore made by Tenant (together with credits from any unused portion of the Allowance), then Tenant will pay the full amount of such excess to Landlord within 30 days after Landlords delivery of the aforesaid reconciliation notification; provided, however, that Tenant may elect in writing to apply any then unused portion of the Allowance to any such excess.
17.3 Allowance. Provided that no Event of Default has theretofore occurred or then exists, Landlord will reimburse Tenant in accordance with this Section 17.3, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Allowance, for direct out-of-pocket costs that Tenant incurs for the installation of cabling, racking, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and any supplemental initial improvements to the Premises made by Tenant in accordance with Article 8. Landlord will make such reimbursement payments to Tenant within 30 days after Tenants invoice therefor, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation (including, without limitation, sworn statements, affidavits, receipts and mechanics lien waivers that Landlord may reasonably require); provided, however, that Tenants invoice and accompanying supporting documentation must be delivered within 180 days after the Commencement Date in order for Tenant to be entitled to reimbursement under this Section 17.3 (regardless of whether less than all of the Allowance has then been paid to Tenant).
17.4 Tenants Representative. Tenant designates Bill Ashton as the Tenants representative having authority to approve the Issued for Construction Plans, request or approve any Change Order, give and receive all notices, consents, approvals and directions regarding Tenants Improvements, and to otherwise act for and bind Tenant in all matters relating to Tenants Improvements.
17.5 Substantial Completion. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve Substantial Completion of Tenants Improvements on or before the Delivery Date, subject to delays caused by Tenant Delays and other Force Majeure.
17.6 Punch List. Not more than 20 days prior to the date on which Landlord, in good faith, anticipates Substantial Completion of Tenants Improvements, Landlord will notify Tenant of the date of such anticipated date of Substantial Completion, and of a date on which Landlord and Tenant (or their respective representatives) will meet to inspect the Premises. Within five Business Days after that inspection Landlord and Tenant, acting reasonably and in good faith, will develop a punch list of any Tenants Improvements items that were either not properly completed or are in need of repair. Landlord will complete (or repair, as the case may be) the items listed on the punch list within 30 days after the punch list has been developed, subject to delays caused by Tenant Delays and other Force Majeure. If Tenant does not inspect the Premises with Landlord as reasonably requested by Landlord prior to or upon Substantial Completion, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Premises as delivered, subject to any punch list items Landlord develops and Tenants rights under this Section 17.6.
17.7 Construction Warranty. Landlord will obtain from Landlords general contractor a customary and reasonable form of one-year warranty against defective workmanship and materials regarding Tenants Improvements. To the extent that such warranty applies to Tenants Improvements, Landlord will assist with and coordinate the enforcement thereof for the benefit of Tenant; provided, however, the foregoing shall not relieve Landlord for its obligation to deliver the Premises to Tenant in the required condition under this Lease.
17.8 Tenant Finish Work. All finish work and decoration and other work desired by Tenant and not included within the Tenants Improvements to be performed by Landlord as set forth in the approved Issued for Construction Plans will be designed, furnished and installed by Tenant at Tenants sole expense. Tenant will perform all such work in the same manner and following the same procedures as are provided in this Lease for Alterations. Landlord is under no obligation to perform, inspect, or supervise any such work, and Landlord will have no liability or responsibility whatsoever therefor.
33
17.9 Milestone Dates. In order for Landlord to achieve the scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant will be required to provide certain definitive information, documentation or other materials on certain specific dates. For all purposes under this Lease, any failure or delay of Tenant, or those acting for or under Tenant, to satisfy any scheduled dates that are set forth in this Lease or of which Tenant has been given reasonable advance written or oral notice will constitute a Tenant Delay. Landlords execution of this Lease notwithstanding any such pre-existing failure or delay will not be considered to be an acquiescence therein or waiver thereof by Landlord.
Article 18 Letter of Credit
18.1 Letter of Credit. Within five Business Days after the Effective Date, Tenant will deliver to Landlord an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit (Letter of Credit) that is in the initial face amount of $3,000,000.00 (subject to reduction under Section 18.10 hereof), that conforms in form and substance to the attached Exhibit G (or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord), and that satisfies all of the following conditions:
(a) | is issued by a United States federal or state chartered bank (Issuer) that (i) is either a member of the New York Clearing House Association or is a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (ii) has total assets of at least $100,000,000,000, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied; provided, however, Landlord hereby pre-approves JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (if chosen by Tenant); |
(b) | names Landlord as beneficiary thereunder; |
(c) | has a term ending not less than one year after the date of issuance; |
(d) | automatically renews for one-year periods unless Issuer notifies beneficiary in writing, at least 30 days prior to the expiration date, that Issuer elects not to renew the Letter of Credit; |
(e) | provides for payment to beneficiary of immediately available funds (denominated in United States dollars) in the initial face amount of $3,000,000.00 (subject to reduction under Section 18.10 hereof) within two Business Days after presentation of the sight draft substantially conforming to the form attached as Exhibit 1 to the Letter of Credit; |
(f) | provides that draws may be presented, and are payable, at Issuers letterhead office, or any other full service office of Issuer; |
(g) | is payable in sight drafts which only require the beneficiary to state that the draw is payable to the order of beneficiary; |
(h) | permits partial and multiple draws; |
(i) | permits multiple transfers by beneficiary; |
(j) | waives any rights Issuer may have, at law or otherwise, to subrogate to any claims beneficiary may have against applicant or applicant may have against beneficiary; and |
(k) | is governed by the International Standby Practices 1998, published by the International Chamber of Commerce. |
34
18.2 Transfer; Fees. Landlord may freely transfer the Letter of Credit in connection with an assignment of this Lease without (a) Tenants consent, (b) restriction on the number of transfers, or (c) condition, other than presentment to Issuer of the original Letter of Credit and a duly executed transfer document conforming to the form reasonably required by the Issuer; provided, however, that in the event of a transfer of Landlords interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole only, to the transferee. Tenant is solely responsible for any bank fees or charges imposed by Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Letter of Credit or any transfer, renewal, extension or replacement thereof. If Tenant fails to pay such transfer fee timely, Landlord may, at its option and without notice to Tenant, elect to pay any transfer fees to Issuer when due, and upon payment, such amount will become due and payable from Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease within 30 days after Tenants receipt of an invoice therefor.
18.3 Draw Event. Draw Event means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) | Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code, an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code (which has not been dismissed within 30 days), Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, Tenant becomes subject to similar proceedings under federal or state law (which has not been dismissed within 30 days), or Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; |
(b) | Tenant fails to timely cause the Letter of Credit to be renewed or replaced as required in this Article 18; |
(c) | the occurrence of an Issuer Quality Event as described in Section 18.6 hereof; |
(d) | the occurrence of an Event of Default; or |
(e) | Tenant holds over or remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term or termination of this Lease, without Landlords prior written consent. |
18.4 Draw and Use of Proceeds; Replacement Letter of Credit. Immediately upon the occurrence of any one or more Draw Events, and at any time thereafter, Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part (if partial draw is made, Landlord may make multiple draws), as Landlord may determine in Landlords sole and absolute discretion. The term Draw Proceeds means the cash proceeds of any draw or draws made by Landlord under the Letter of Credit. Any delays by Landlord in drawing on the Letter of Credit or using the Draw Proceeds will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder with respect to the Letter of Credit or the Draw Proceeds. Landlord will hold the Draw Proceeds in its own name (but subject to the provisions of this Article 18) and may co-mingle the Draw Proceeds with other accounts of Landlord or invest them as Landlord may determine in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that any investment shall be made at Landlords sole risk and any losses incurred thereon shall not reduce the credit amount to which Tenant is entitled. In addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have, Landlord may in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time, use and apply all or any portion of the Draw Proceeds to pay Landlord for any one or more of the following:
(a) | Rent or any other sum which is past due, due or becomes due, or to which Landlord is otherwise entitled under the terms of this Lease, whether due to the passage of time, the existence of a default or otherwise (including, without limitation, late payment fees or charges and any amounts which Landlord is or would be allowed to collect under Sections 14.2 or 14.3 hereof, and without deducting therefrom any offset for proceeds of any potential reletting or other potential mitigation which has not in fact occurred at the time of the draw); |
35
(b) | all amounts incurred or expended by Landlord in connection with the exercise and pursuit of any one or more of Landlords rights or remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs; |
(c) | all amounts incurred or expended by Landlord in obtaining the Draw Proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs; or |
(d) | all other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to or incurred by Landlord as a result of any Event of Default, Draw Event or other breach, failure or default by Tenant under this Lease. |
To the extent that Draw Proceeds exceed the amounts so applied, such excess Draw Proceeds will be deemed paid to Landlord to establish a credit on Landlords books in the amount of such excess, which credit may be applied by Landlord thereafter (in Landlords sole and absolute discretion), to any of Tenants obligations to Landlord under this Lease as and when they become due. In the event that Landlord wrongfully draws on the Letter of Credit when there has not been a Draw Event, then Landlord will return the Draw Proceeds from such wrongful draw to Tenant in accordance with the provisions set forth below in this Section 18.4. Following any use or application of the Draw Proceeds, Tenant, if requested by Landlord in writing, must, within ten Business Days after receipt of Landlords request, cause a replacement Letter of Credit complying with Section 18.1 hereof to be issued and delivered to Landlord; provided, however, that the amount of the replacement Letter of Credit will be an amount equal to the original amount of the Letter of Credit, as set forth in Section 18.1(e) hereof, less any unapplied Draw Proceeds on the date the replacement Letter of Credit is issued. Upon Landlords receipt of the replacement Letter of Credit, Landlord will deliver the prior original Letter of Credit to Issuer for cancellation (if not theretofore fully drawn) and any unapplied Draw Proceeds will be applied in accordance with Sections 18.4(a), (b), (c) and (d) hereof. If it is determined or adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that Landlord was not entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit (i.e., has wrongfully drawn on the Letter of Credit when there has not been a Draw Event), Tenant may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, cause Landlord to (x) deliver the prior original Letter of Credit to Issuer for cancellation (if not theretofore fully drawn), (y) return to Issuer the amount of the Draw Proceeds which the court determines Landlord was not entitled to draw, and (z) reimburse Tenant for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and interest expenses actually incurred by Tenant as a direct result of Landlords draw on the Letter of Credit; provided, however, that Tenant may exercise its exclusive remedy only after Tenant has cured all defaults under this Lease and has also caused a replacement Letter of Credit complying with Section 18.1 hereof to be issued and delivered to Landlord. Landlord will not be liable for any other actual damages or any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages incurred by Tenant in connection with either a draw by Landlord on the Letter of Credit or the use or application by Landlord of the Draw Proceeds. Nothing in this Lease or in the Letter of Credit will confer upon Tenant any property right or interest in any Draw Proceeds; provided, however, that any unapplied portion of the Draw Proceeds shall be returned to Tenant by Landlord following the end of the Term.
18.5 Renewal and Replacement. The Letter of Credit must provide that it will be automatically renewed unless Issuer provides written notice of non-renewal to Landlord at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit. If written notice of non-renewal is received from Issuer, Tenant must renew the Letter of Credit or replace it with a new Letter of Credit, at least ten Business Days prior to the stated expiration date of the then-current Letter of Credit. Any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit must meet the criteria set forth in Section 18.1 hereof, and must have a term commencing at least one day prior to the stated expiration date of the immediately prior Letter of Credit. Failure to provide a renewal or replacement Letter of Credit as provided above will, at Landlords election, be an Event of Default under
36
this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have the right, from time to time throughout the Term of this Lease, to deliver to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit hereunder, the form and substance of which substitute Letter of Credit shall be subject to Landlords reasonable approval and the terms of this Article 18. Upon Tenants written request from time to time, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a letter confirming the then-current Letter of Credit amount (including the amount of any actual increases and reductions with respect thereto).
18.6 Issuer Quality Event. If an Issuer Quality Event occurs, Tenant, upon 30 days prior written notice from Landlord, must, at its own cost and expense, provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit meeting all of the requirements of Section 18.1 hereof. The term Issuer Quality Event means Issuer fails to meet the criteria set forth in Section 18.1(a) hereof.
18.7 Additional Agreements of Tenant. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) | the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and Issuer, and Tenant has no right to submit a draw to Issuer under the Letter of Credit; |
(b) | Tenant is not a third-party beneficiary of the contractual relationship between Landlord and Issuer established by the Letter of Credit, and Landlords ability to either draw under the Letter of Credit for the full or any partial amount thereof or to apply Draw Proceeds may not, in any way, be conditioned, restricted, limited, altered, impaired or discharged by virtue of any Laws to the contrary, including, without limitation, any Laws that restrict, limit, alter, impair, discharge or otherwise affect any liability that Tenant may have under this Lease or any claim that Landlord has or may have against Tenant; |
(c) | neither the Letter of Credit nor any Draw Proceeds will be or become the property of Tenant, and Tenant does not and will not have any property right or interest therein; |
(d) | Tenant is not entitled to any interest on any Draw Proceeds; |
(e) | neither the Letter of Credit nor any Draw Proceeds constitute an advance payment of Rent, security deposit or rental deposit; |
(f) | neither the Letter of Credit nor any Draw Proceeds constitute a measure of Landlords damages resulting from any Draw Event, Event of Default or other breach, failure or default (past, present or future) under this Lease; and |
(g) | Tenant will cooperate with Landlord, at Tenants sole cost and expense, in promptly executing and delivering to Landlord all modifications, amendments, renewals, extensions and replacements of the Letter of Credit, as Landlord may reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Article 18. |
18.8 Restrictions on Tenant Actions. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights and claims that it may otherwise have at law or in equity, to contest, enjoin, interfere with, restrict or limit, in any way whatsoever, any requests or demands by Landlord to Issuer for a draw or payment to Landlord under the Letter of Credit. If Tenant, or any person or entity on Tenants behalf or at Tenants discretion, brings any proceeding or action to contest, enjoin, interfere with, restrict or limit, in any way whatsoever, any one or more draw requests or payments under the Letter of Credit, Tenant will be liable for any and all direct and indirect damages resulting therefrom or arising in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs.
37
18.9 Cancellation After End of Term. Provided that no Draw Event, Event of Default, or other breach or default under this Lease then exists, Landlord will deliver the Letter of Credit to the Issuer for cancellation within 45 days after Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration of the Term.
18.10 Reductions. Provided that no Event of Default or Draw Event has theretofore occurred or then exists, then beginning on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and on each anniversary thereafter, Tenant may cause to be issued and delivered to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit that is in a face amount that is 15% less than the face amount of the then-current Letter of Credit that is being replaced. In addition, notwithstanding the preceding sentence to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default or Draw Event has theretofore occurred or then exists, and also provided that Tenant then satisfies all (and not fewer than all) of the Letter of Credit Financial Conditions, then at any time after the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant will also have the one-time right to cause to be issued and delivered to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit that is in a face amount that is 15% less than the face amount of the then-current Letter of Credit that is being replaced. Landlord agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by the issuer of the Letter of Credit (provided such documents are factually accurate and provided further that the subject reduction is permitted under the terms of this Section 18.10) within ten Business Days after receipt of written request from Tenant or such issuer in order to accomplish such reductions. Landlords failure to timely execute and deliver any such documents shall be a default under this Lease upon the expiration of five Business Days written notice from Tenant that Landlord has failed to perform such obligation, which second notice shall provide in bold, all-capital letters at the top of such second notice as follows: LANDLORDS FAILURE TO EXECUTE THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THE REDUCTION OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 18.10 OF THE LEASE WITHIN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE SHALL BE A DEFAULT BY LANDLORD UNDER THIS LEASE. Each such substitute Letter of Credit will constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Lease.
Article 19 Miscellaneous Provisions
19.1 Notices. All Notices must be in writing and must be sent by personal delivery, United States registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) or by an independent overnight courier service, addressed to the addresses specified in the Basic Terms or at such other place as either party may designate to the other party by written notice given in accordance with this Section 19.1. Notices given by mail are deemed delivered within four Business Days after the party sending the Notice deposits the Notice with the United States Post Office. Notices delivered by courier are deemed delivered on the next Business Day after the day the party delivering the Notice timely deposits the Notice with the courier for overnight (next day) delivery. Notices delivered by personal delivery are deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery.
19.2 Transfer of Landlords Interest. If Landlord Transfers (other than for collateral security purposes) its ownership interest in the Premises, the transferor is automatically relieved of all obligations on the part of Landlord accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the Transfer, provided that (a) the transferee agrees in writing to assume such obligations, and (b) the transferor delivers or credits to the transferee any funds the transferor holds in which Tenant has an interest (such as a security deposit). Landlords covenants and obligations in this Lease bind each successive Landlord only during and with respect to its respective period of ownership. However, notwithstanding any such Transfer, the transferor remains entitled to the benefits of Tenants releases and indemnity and insurance obligations (and similar obligations) under this Lease with respect to matters arising or accruing during the transferors period of ownership.
38
19.3 Successors. Subject to the express provisions of this Lease, the covenants and agreements contained in this Lease bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, bind Tenant and its successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of Tenant and its permitted successors and assigns.
19.4 Captions and Interpretation. The captions of the articles and sections of this Lease are to assist the parties in reading this Lease and are not a part of the terms or provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the context of this Lease, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular.
19.5 Relationship of Parties. This Lease does not create, between the parties to this Lease, the relationship of principal and agent, or of partnership or joint venture, or any other association or relationship, other than that of landlord and tenant.
19.6 Entire Agreement; Amendment. The Basic Terms and all exhibits, addenda and schedules attached to this Lease are incorporated into and made a part of this Lease as though fully set forth in this Lease and together with this Lease contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the improvement and leasing of the Premises. All prior and contemporaneous negotiations, including, without limitation, any letters of intent or other proposals and any drafts and related correspondence, are merged into and superseded by this Lease. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease (other than to the Property Rules in accordance with the terms of this Lease) is binding on Landlord or Tenant unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom its enforcement is sought.
19.7 Severability. If any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement of this Lease is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion thereof and all other covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease will not be affected by such holding, and will remain valid and in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
19.8 Landlords Limited Liability. Tenant will look solely to Landlords interest in the Property (and any sale, rental, insurance and condemnation proceeds therefrom) for recovering any judgment or collecting any obligation from Landlord or any other Landlord Party. Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any other Landlord Party will be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency decree. In no event is Landlord or any Landlord Party liable to Tenant or any other person for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages.
19.9 Survival. All of Landlords or Tenants obligations under this Lease accruing prior to expiration or other termination of this Lease, or that this Lease contemplates are to survive termination, will survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease until fully paid and/or performed by the applicable party. Interest on surviving payment obligations will continue to accrue at the rates stated in this Lease until fully paid. Further, all of Tenants and Landlords releases and indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under this Lease survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease until any possible Claims to which the same might apply have been absolutely barred by all applicable statutes of limitation.
19.10 [Intentionally Omitted]
19.11 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has not had any dealings with any realtors, brokers, finders or agents in connection with this Lease (except as may be specifically set forth herein) and each releases and agrees to indemnify the other from and against any Claims based on the failure or alleged failure to pay any realtors, brokers, finders or agents (other than any brokers specified herein) and from any cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commission or changes claimed by any realtors, brokers, finders or agents (other than any brokers specified herein) claiming by, through or on behalf of it with respect to this Lease or the negotiation of this Lease. Landlord will pay any brokers named in the Basic Terms in accordance with the applicable agreements executed by Landlord for the Property.
39
19.12 Tenants Waiver. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant agrees that the Landlord Parties are not liable to Tenant or any other person for, and Tenant releases the Landlord Parties from and waives, any and all Claims resulting or arising, directly or indirectly, from (a) any existing or future breakage, defect, insufficiency, inadequacy, malfunction, interruption, failure, breakdown or similar problem in the Premises or on the Property; (b) any equipment, system or appurtenance becoming out of repair, malfunctioning or failing to function; or (c) any occurrence, event, situation, Casualty, activity, injury, emergency, condition or happening whatsoever at the Property, regardless of whether insured or insurable. This agreement, waiver and release applies regardless of whether the Claim arises (i) from personal injury, property damage, or otherwise; (ii) from the act, omission, negligence, fault or misconduct of other tenants or occupants of the Property or any other person whatsoever; and/or (iii) from Force Majeure, or any other cause or reason whatsoever. Nothing in this Section 19.12, however, relieves Landlord from any liability to Tenant, as provided in this Lease, (A) for the breach of any obligation of Landlord that is expressly set forth in this Lease; (B) for any Claims which arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party; or (C) with respect to any remedy of Tenant that may be specifically and expressly set forth elsewhere in this Lease.
19.13 Governing Law. This Lease is governed by, and must be interpreted under, the internal laws of the State. Any suit against Landlord or Tenant relating to this Lease must be brought in the county in which the Property is located or, if the suit is brought in federal court, in any federal court appropriate for suits arising in such county; Landlord and Tenant waive the right to bring suit against each other elsewhere.
19.14 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.
19.15 Joint and Several Liability. All parties signing this Lease as Tenant are jointly and severally liable for performing all of Tenants obligations under this Lease.
19.16 Independent Obligations. Except for any right of offset or abatement that may be expressly and specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenants covenants and obligations to pay Rent are independent from any of Landlords covenants, obligations, warranties or representations in this Lease.
19.17 Tenants Authority. If Tenant is an entity, Tenant will, within ten Business Days after Landlords written request, deliver to Landlord, a resolution from such entity authorizing the execution and delivery of this Lease. Tenant represents and warrants that and each individual signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly authorized to sign on behalf of and to bind Tenant and that this Lease is a duly authorized, binding and enforceable obligation of Tenant.
19.18 Force Majeure. Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in Section 1.2.2, which limitations are solely for the purposes set forth in Section 1.2.2, if Landlord or Tenant is delayed in or prevented from performing any obligation under this Lease (excluding, however, the payment of money) by reason of Force Majeure, Landlords or Tenants performance of such obligation (as the case may be) will be excused for a period equal to the period of delay actually caused by the Force Majeure event.
19.19 Management. Property Manager is authorized to manage the Property. Landlord appointed Property Manager to act as Landlords agent for leasing, managing and operating the Property. The Property Manager then serving is authorized to take actions and give notices and demands under this Lease on Landlords behalf.
40
19.20 Financial Statements. Tenant will, without charge to Landlord, in connection with any proposed sale or financing of the Property (but not more often than two times during any twelve month period), within ten Business Days after written request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord copies of Tenants financial statements prepared in the ordinary course of business for the then most recently ended fiscal year of Tenant, and for the preceding two fiscal years, certified, in writing, by Tenants chief executive officer or chief financial officer; provided, however, as a condition precedent to Tenants delivery, Landlord and the party requesting such information shall execute a commercially reasonable form of confidentiality agreement with respect thereto. The aforesaid financial statements must be prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and must include, without limitation, Tenants balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of sources and uses and such other statements reasonably requested by Landlord. Such financial statements must also be certified by an independent certified public accountant or by Tenants chief financial officer that the same are a true, complete and correct statement of Tenants financial condition as of the date of such financial statements.
19.21 No Recording. Tenant will not record this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease..
19.22 Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. The terms and conditions of this Lease constitute proprietary information of Landlord that Tenant will keep confidential. Tenants disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Lease could adversely affect Landlords ability to negotiate other leases and impair Landlords relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant will not, directly or indirectly, disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any other tenant or prospective tenant of the Property or to any other person or entity other than Tenants employees, accountants, attorneys, real estate consultants and agents who have a legitimate need to know such information (and who will also keep the same in confidence) unless, and only to the extent, any such disclosure is required by law or appropriate judicial order.
19.23 Construction of Lease and Terms. The terms and provisions of this Lease are the result of negotiations between Landlord and Tenant, each of which are sophisticated parties and each of which has been represented or been given the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel and/or other advisors of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Lease are to be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and Landlord and Tenant each waive the application of any rule of law that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions are to be interpreted or construed against the party who drafted the same. Landlords submission of this instrument to Tenant in draft or final form for examination or signature does not constitute any reservation of, or agreement or option to lease, the Premises. When executed by Tenant and delivered to Landlord, this Lease will be construed as an offer from Tenant to lease the Premises on the terms set forth in this Lease. Tenants offer to lease may be accepted, and a binding agreement between Tenant and Landlord created, only by Landlords execution of this Lease and delivery of the fully-executed Lease to Tenant. Once so delivered by Landlord, this Lease will be deemed effective as of the Effective Date.
19.24 No Exculpation for Negligence. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Lease is deemed to require either Landlord or Tenant to exculpate the other for the negligence of the other party or the negligent acts of those claiming by, through or under the other party, in a manner that violates any Laws, then such provision will be deemed to be amended so that negligent acts of the party being exculpated are excluded from the other partys obligation to exculpate.
19.25 Anti-Terrorism Representation. Neither Tenant nor any of its affiliates or constituents nor, to the actual knowledge of Tenant, any brokers or other agents of same, have engaged in any dealings or transactions, directly or indirectly, (i) in contravention of any U.S., international or other money laundering regulations or conventions, including without limitation, the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, the United States International Money
41
Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, Trading with the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended), or any foreign asset control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, or (ii) in contravention of Executive Order No. 13224 dated September 24, 2001 issued by the President of the United States (Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (Anti-Terrorism Order) or on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on any relevant lists maintained by the United Nations, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, Financial Action Task Force, U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or any country or organization, all as may be amended from time to time. Neither Tenant nor any of its affiliates or constituents nor, to the best of Tenants knowledge, any brokers or other agents of same, (i) are or will be-conducting any business or engaging in any transaction with any person appearing on the U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control list of restrictions and prohibited persons, or (ii) are a person described in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order, and, to actual knowledge of Tenant, neither Tenant nor any of its affiliates have engaged in any dealings or transactions, or otherwise been associated with any such person. If at any time this representation becomes false then it shall be considered a default under the Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies set forth in the Lease upon an Event of a Default or to terminate the Lease immediately.
