The Lease shall immediately terminate upon such surrender, except that Landlord shall retain such rights and remedies against Tenant as may have arisen by virtue of Tenant’s actions or defaults occurring prior to the termination. Basic Rent, Renewal Term Rent, if any, and Additional Rent, shall be paid by Tenant, through and including the date of the casualty.

Any change in the ownership or power to vote a majority of Tenant’s outstanding voting interests in Tenant shall constitute an assignment. Acceptance of rent by Landlord from anyone other than Tenant shall not be construed as a waiver by Landlord of the actions prohibited by this Section, nor as a release of Tenant from any obligation or liability under this Lease, but the same shall be taken to be a payment on account by Tenant.

 

10.2. Permitted Subletting. If Tenant desires to sublet the Premises limited only to the USE provided in the LIS, including a proposed sublease to, Tenant shall so notify Landlord, and shall include with such notice a copy of any proposed sublease or, if none, the name of the prospective subtenant, the term, a description of the property to be sublet and the amount of rent payable by the subtenant.

If Landlord consents to the subletting, Tenant shall enter into a written sublease with the prospective subtenant on substantially the same terms as provided in this Lease, and shall deliver an executed copy thereof (and of any subsequently executed amendments thereof that have been approved by Landlord in its sole discretion) to Landlord.

(b) If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or

 

(c) (If, in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises.

10.4. Assignment of Subrent. Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises, whether or not such subletting was approved by Landlord, and Landlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE 11
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

11.1. Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant.

 

(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Basic Rent, Renewal Term Rent, if any, or Additional Rent, as and when due, which failure continues for more than ten (10) days after notice of delinquency given by Landlord, except that any failure to make timely payment shall be an automatic default without notice if either (i) Landlord has given two (2) prior notices of delinquency in the same Lease Year or (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant has been late on a regular basis and gives written notice to Tenant that Tenant shall not be entitled to any further delinquency notices.

 

 17 
 

 

(b) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than payment of Basic Rent, Renewal Term Rent, if any, or Additional Rent, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

 

(c) Without obtaining the Landlord’s consent, the making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days; or the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.

 

11.2. Landlord’s Remedies. If Tenant defaults Landlord shall be entitled to all legal and equitable remedies for possession of the Premises and collection of all amounts due under this Lease. Without limitation, Landlord may enforce its rights by an action for rent and possession, unlawful detainer, or other legal remedy. Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding Landlord’s possession of the Premises, Tenant shall remain liable for and shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the entire rent payable to the end of the then-applicable Term, provided that Landlord shall credit Tenant with net rents received by Landlord from reletting the Premises as provided in Section 11.3 below.

 

11.3. Right to Relet. Notwithstanding Landlord’s possession of the Premises, Landlord upon Tenant’s default shall have the right, without notice to Tenant, and without terminating this Lease, to make alterations and repairs for the purpose of reletting the Premises. Landlord may relet or attempt to relet the Premises or any part of the Premises for the remainder of the then-applicable Term or for any longer or shorter period as opportunity may offer, to such persons and at such rent as may be obtained. Nothing in this Lease shall require Landlord to relet or make any attempt to relet the Premises, and any reletting, shall be done by Landlord as agent for Tenant. In case the Premises are relet, Tenant shall pay the difference between the amount of rent payable during the remainder of the Term and the net rent actually received by Landlord during the Term after deducting all expenses for repairs, alterations, recovering possession and reletting the same, which difference shall either (a) accrue and be payable monthly, or (b) be accelerated and become payable at once, at Landlord’s sole option.

11.6. Counterclaims and Waivers. Other than compulsory counterclaims, Tenant agrees not to make any counterclaim of any nature in any proceedings brought in connection with this Lease. This agreement shall not, however, prohibit the maintenance of any claim in a separate action. Tenant waives any rights it may have to redeem the Premises from any reentry and possession by Landlord. Any breaches of any covenants of this Lease shall be material breaches entitling Landlord to its remedies, regardless of the extent of actual damage.

 

11.7. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder and any others provided by law shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them is exclusive of any other right or remedy. Such rights and remedies shall further be continuing rights, none of which shall be exhausted by being exercised on one or more occasions. Landlord shall be entitled to seek an injunction in proper cases to enforce any part or parts of this Lease or to prevent or stop any violation or default on the part of Tenant. Whenever in this Lease Landlord reserves or is given the right and power to give or withhold its consent to any action on the part of Tenant, such right and power shall not be exhausted by its exercise on one or more occasions, but shall be a continuing right and power for the full Term. Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of the same.

 

11.8. Landlord’s Right to Cure Default. If Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any covenant on its part to be performed under this Lease, then, after notice and without waiver or releasing Tenant from the performance thereof, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such covenant and/or pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection therewith.

If Tenant remains in possession of all or any portion of the Premises after expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such occupancy shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy, terminable upon thirty (30) days’ written notice given by either party at any time. During such holdover occupancy, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent and perform all obligations required of it by this Lease during the Term, except that Basic Rent or Renewal Term Rent, if any, during such holdover occupancy shall be at a rate equal to one and one half times the Basic Rent, or Renewal Term Rent, as applicable, theretofore in effect at the termination of the Term, payable in monthly installments in advance as otherwise provided in this Lease.

(a) Condition of premises. Except as provided in EXHIBIT A, Landlord has no obligation to alter, remodel or improve the Premises in any way. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in an “AS IS” condition.

 

(b) Drawings. Promptly after the Effective Date, Landlord shall email CAD plans to Tenant or Tenant’s Architect for use in preparing Tenants drawings. Tenant shall submit to Landlord, drawings for the build out of the Premises. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Tenant’s drawings, Landlord, by notice in writing addressed to Tenant, shall indicate Landlord’s approval of them or clearly specify any objections to them, the objections in all events to be reasonable. The work to be performed by Tenant as described in the drawings therefor, approved by Landlord as provided above, are herein referred to as “Tenant’s Work.” Any deficiency in design or construction shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility, regardless of whether previously approved by Landlord.

 

The drawings for Tenant’s Work shall be prepared by licensed architects in the employ of Tenant. Tenant shall bear all costs of preparing the drawings, provided that the expense of the drawings may be submitted by Tenant to Landlord as part of Tenant’s Work for purposes of the Allowance. Landlord’s approval of the drawings shall not constitute an opinion or agreement that they are in compliance with law (it being agreed that such compliance is solely Tenant’s responsibility), nor shall such approval impose any present or future liability on Landlord or waive any of Landlord’s rights under the Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with two (2) sets of the drawings.

 

(c) Workmanship. Tenant shall, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, commence, construct, perform and complete all Tenant’s Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in complete accordance with the drawings approved by Landlord.

 

(d) Lease applicability before commencement date. At all times prior to the Rent Commencement Date, all the provisions, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall be applicable to the Premises other than those requiring payment of Rent relating solely to the Premises.

 

(e) Permits. Prior to commencement of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all permits and licenses and other consents and approvals of all governmental authorities as may be required in connection with Tenant’s Work and shall deliver copies thereof to Landlord, provided that the expense of the permits, licenses, consents and approvals may be submitted by Tenant to Landlord as part of Tenant’s Work for purposes of the Allowance.

 

(f) Compliance with law. Tenant’s Work and all of Tenant’s trade fixtures and equipment shall be performed, constructed and installed in accordance and in full compliance with all applicable governmental requirements, including without limitation all applicable laws, statutes, codes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and orders, as well as reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord.

 

(g) Approval of contractor. Any contractor used by Tenant to perform Tenant’s Work pursuant to this EXHIBIT B, must first be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such approval shall be in Landlord’s reasonable discretion based on the proposed contractor’s financial condition, reputation and workmanship, but no such approval shall relieve Tenant of any of its other obligations hereunder or impose any liability upon Landlord.

 

 25 
 

 

(h) Insurance; indemnification. Prior to commencement of the work, the general contractor shall secure Builders Risk Insurance (Fire with Extended Coverage and Vandalism Endorsement) on a Completed Value Form with Landlord and Tenant as named assured, in an amount not less than 100% of the value of the work.

 

Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and any mortgagee(s) having an interest in the Premises, from and against any and all suits, actions, damages, losses, claims or liabilities, expense, including reasonable counsel fees, resulting from or due to the Tenant’s work contemplated hereunder, whether same be as a result of the claims of other tenants in the Building or the Development, or acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees, the architect, the general contractor, or any subcontractor, supplier, or materialman. Prior to the commencement of the work, Tenant shall provide Landlord evidence of the insurance required of Tenant in Article 9 of the Lease.

 

(i) Mechanic’s liens. If any mechanic’s or other labor or material lien is filed against the Premises, Building, or Development, or any part thereof as a result of Tenant’s work, Tenant shall cause such lien to be discharged by payment, bond, or otherwise, within 30 days after it has knowledge or receives notice from Landlord, the architect, the general contractor, or any other person, that the lien was filed. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may obtain such discharge. In such event, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all expenses in connection therewith. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such expenses, on demand, as additional rent.

 

(j) Inspections. Landlord and its representatives shall have access to the Premises the course of Tenant’s Work, at Landlord’s expense, for the purpose of making inspections and insuring that Tenant and Tenant’s contractors, suppliers and materialmen comply with the conditions of this EXHIBIT B. Landlord may at any time during the course of the work impose such other restrictions, rules and conditions as may be reasonably necessary to insure the proper completion of the work.

 

(k) Consent. Nothing herein contained shall imply any consent or agreement by the Landlord to subject Landlord’s estate to liability under any mechanic’s or other lien law.

 

(l) Maintenance. Tenant shall not permit the accumulation of building supplies, equipment, waste material, or rubbish outside the Premises, and during the construction and upon completion shall cause all rubbish, implements, material, and equipment to be removed from the Premises. At no time, shall the sidewalks, adjacent leased spaces, entrances, or public areas be blocked or interfered with, and Tenant shall maintain continuous protection of the Landlord’s Building and the Development. If any damage is done to any other portions of the Building or Development, Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall repair and/or replace same, in a manner satisfactory to the Landlord, to the condition existing prior to the commencement of the work.

Landlord shall provide to Tenant a Tenant Allowance in the sum of $35.00 per square foot of the Premises ($263,200.00), which shall be used by Tenant toward the cost of construction of Tenant’s Work, and an Additional Tenant Allowance of $15.00 per square foot of the Premises ($112,800.00) that Tenant may elect to use and repay as provided in Section 24 of the LIS, (collectively the “Allowances”). The Allowances may only be used for leasehold improvements that become part of the Premises, it being specifically understood and agreed that no portion of the Allowances may be used for removable trade fixtures, equipment, furniture or other personal property. All improvements constructed with Allowances dollars shall become part of the Premises and title thereto shall vest in Landlord upon installation. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs of Tenant’s Work that exceed the Allowances shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant hereby expressly grants Landlord an offset and deduction against the Allowances for all delinquent costs, payments, and expenses Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord pursuant to the Lease or otherwise due and owing to Landlord. The procedure for payment of the Allowance is provided in paragraph (n) below.

 

(n) Records and disputes. Tenant shall keep, maintain, and operate, full, true, and accurate books of account and full, true, and complete records with respect to Tenant’s Work. Landlord and its representatives shall have full access to such books and records at all times during regular business hours and may examine and audit them. Tenant shall furnish Landlord all statements, information, vouchers, invoices, and supporting data it reasonably requires with respect to such work. Any dispute between the parties as to the cost of Tenant’s Work shall be submitted for arbitration to the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) in accordance with the association’s construction rules and regulations, and the parties shall be bound by its decision. The parties shall bear equally the expense of such arbitration, except that Tenant shall bear the entire expense if it is determined that Tenant’s report of the cost of Tenant’s Work was substantially incorrect. Throughout the period of Tenant’s Work being completed, not more frequently than monthly, Tenant may submit to Landlord invoices for all or portions of Tenant’s Work that has been completed along with a certificate signed by Tenant’s general contractor and Tenant, certifying the portion of the Tenant’s Work that has been completed, and the cost of the Tenant’s Work that remains to be completed, along with evidence of such cost as Landlord shall reasonably require, and mechanic’s lien affidavits and lien waivers in accordance with the mechanic’s lien laws of the State of Missouri, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of submission of the certificate and invoices, in full and proper form, reimburse Tenant therefor for the amount of such invoice, not to exceed the maximum Allowances provided herein, or Landlord may at its option, if Tenant has not already paid them, pay the Allowances directly to Tenant’s contractor and others providing labor and materials for Tenant’s Work.
