2.2 Land. “Land” means the real property on which the Building and Common Areas are located, including casements and other rights that benefit or encumber the real property. Landlord’s interest in the Land may be in fee or a leasehold. The Land may be expanded or reduced after the Date.

2.5 Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant the Premises subject to the terms of this Lease. Except as provided elsewhere in this Lease, by taking possession of the Premises Tenant accepts the Premises in its “as is” condition and with all faults, and the Premises is deemed in good order, condition, and repair. The Premises includes the Leasehold Improvements and excludes certain areas, facilities and systems, as follows:

 

(a)

Leasehold Improvements. “Leasehold Improvements” means all non-structural improvements in the Premises or exclusively serving the Premises, and any structural improvements to the Building made to accommodate Tenant’s particular use of the Premises.

2.7 Tenant’s Personal Property. “Tenant’s Personal Property” means those trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, work product, inventory, stock-in-trade and other personal property of Tenant that are not permanently affixed to the Project in a way that they become a part of the Project and will not, if removed, cause material damage to the Premises.

3.

TERM  

3.1 Term. “Term” means the period that begins on the Commencement Date and ends on the Expiration Date, subject to renewal, extension, or earlier termination as may be further provided in this Lease. “Month” means a full calendar month of the Term. “Year” means a full calendar year in which all or a part of the Term occurs.

 

(a)

Commencement Date. “Commencement Date” means that date which is the earlier of:

 

(1)

The date that Tenant first conducts business in any part of the Premises; or

 

(2)

The date that Landlord tenders the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work substantially complete or that earlier date that Landlord would have tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work substantially complete but for Tenant Delay (as defined in the Work Letter attached to this Lease as Exhibit D).

 

(b)

Expiration Date. “Expiration Date” means the date that is the Scheduled Term (plus that many additional days required for the Expiration Date to be the last day of a Month) after the Commencement Date.

 

(c)

Early Occupancy. Except as set forth in the Work Letter, Tenant may not enter the Premises for any purpose until Landlord tenders the Premises to Tenant. If Tenant conducts business in any part of the Premises before the Scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant will pay Base Rent for that period at the rate for the first Month that Base Rent is due, without discount or excuse.

 

(d)

Late Occupancy. If Landlord fails to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Scheduled Commencement Date, Landlord will not be in default of this Lease, but Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Rent until the Commencement Date where such delay is not the result of a Tenant Delay.

 

(e)

Confirmation of Term. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the Commencement Date using a Notice of Lease Term (“NLT”) in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit C. Unless Tenant reasonably objects, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord the NLT within 10 business days after its receipt, but Tenant’s failure to do so will not reduce Tenant’s obligations or Landlord’s rights under this Lease.

3.2 Holdover. If Tenant keeps possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date (or earlier termination of this Lease) without Landlord’s prior written consent (a “Holdover”), which may be withheld in its sole discretion, then in addition to the remedies available elsewhere under this Lease or by law, Tenant will be a tenant-at-sufferance and must comply with all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (including the payment of Additional Rent), except that for each Month of Holdover Tenant will pay 150% of the Base Rent payable for the last Month of the Term (or that would have been payable but for abatement or excuse), without prorating for any partial Month of Holdover, plus Additional Rent for such period. Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord from and against all claims and damages, both consequential and direct, that Landlord suffers due to Tenant’s failure to return possession of the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term. Landlord’s deposit of Tenant’s Holdover payment will not constitute Landlord’s consent to a Holdover, or create or renew any tenancy.

3.3 Condition on Expiration.

 

(a)

Return of the Premises. At the end of the Term, Tenant will return possession of the Premises to Landlord vacant, free of Tenant’s Personal Property, in broom-clean condition, and with all Leasehold Improvements in in the condition delivered to Tenant (excepting ordinary wear and tear and casualty), except that Landlord may require Tenant, by notice at least 10 days before the expiration of the Term, to remove (and restore the Premises damaged by removal):

 

(1)

All Tenant’s Wiring; and

 

(2)

Any item of Leasehold Improvements or Alterations (other than Tenant’s Wiring) if either:

 

(A)

When Landlord consented to the installation of the improvement, Landlord reserved Landlord’s right to have Tenant remove the improvement at the end of the Term; or

 

(B)

Tenant failed to obtain Landlord’s written consent under §8.1(a) for an item of Alterations to become part of the Premises.

 

(b)

Correction by Landlord. If Tenant fails to return possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition required under (a), then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by Landlord to put the Premises in the condition required under (a), plus Landlord’s standard administration fee.

 

(c)

Abandoned Property. Tenant’s Personal Property left behind in the Premises after the end of the Term will be considered abandoned and Landlord may move, store, retain, or dispose of these items at Tenant’s cost, including Landlord’s standard administration fee.

4


 

4.

RENT  

4.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall prepay 1 Month’s installment of Base Rent (without any abatement) by the Date (i.e., $31,431.25), to be applied against Base Rent first due under this Lease. During the Term, Tenant shall pay all other Base Rent in advance, in equal Monthly installments, on the 1st of each Month. Base Rent for any partial Month will be prorated based on a 30-day month.

4.2 Additional Rent. Tenant’s obligation to pay Taxes and Expenses under this §4.2 is referred to in this Lease as “Additional Rent.”

 

(a)

Taxes. For each full or partial Year after the Base Year in which the Term occurs (each, a “Comparison Year”), Tenant shall pay as in the manner described below the Tenant’s Share of the amount that Taxes for the Comparison Year exceed Taxes for Ute Base Year. “Taxes” means the total costs incurred by Landlord for: (1) real and personal property taxes and assessments (including ad valorem and special assessments) levied on the Project and Landlord’s personal property used in connection with the Project; (2) taxes on rents or other income derived from the Building; (3) capital and place-of-business taxes; (4) taxes, assessments or fees in lieu of the taxes described in the foregoing clauses (1) through (3); and (5) the reasonable costs incurred to reduce the taxes described in the foregoing clauses (1) through (4). Taxes excludes net income taxes, documentary transfer taxes and taxes paid by Tenant under §4.3 (and any other tenant of the Building with a similar lease obligation).

 

(b)

Expenses. For each Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay in the manner described below the Tenant’s Share of the amount that Expenses for the Comparison Year exceed Expenses for the Base Year. “Expenses” means the total costs incurred by Landlord to operate, manage, administer, equip, secure, protect, repair, replace, refurbish, clean, maintain, decorate and inspect the Project, including a fee to manage the Project of 3% of the gross revenue of the Project. Expenses that vary with occupancy will be calculated as if the Building is 100% occupied and operating, with all utilities and services being provided to all tenants.

 

(1)

Expenses include:

 

(A)

Standard Services provided under §6.1;

 

(B)

Repairs and maintenance performed under §7.2;

 

(C)

Insurance maintained under §9.2 {including deductibles paid; provided, however, any deductibles in excess of $100,000 shall be amortized over a term of 10 years at an annual interest rate equal to the Amortization Rate (defined below), and the amortized costs thereof, but not in excess of $1.00 per RSF of the Building shall be included in Expenses in any Year);

 

(D)

Wages, salaries, and benefits of personnel of Landlord or its Affiliates to the extent they render services to the Project (including, without limitation, property accounting, technical services, and information technology services);

 

(E)

Costs of operating the Project management office (including reasonable rent);

 

(F)

Amortization installments of costs that are required to be capitalized and are incurred:

 

(i)

To comply with insurance requirements or laws enacted after the Commencement Date (“Mandated Expenses”);

 

(ii)

With the reasonable expectation of reducing Expenses or the rate of increase in Expenses (“Cost-Saving Expenses”); or

 

(iii)

That are reasonably calculated to improve or maintain the safety or health of Project occupants (“Quality Expenses”).

 

(2)

Expenses exclude:

 

(A)

Taxes;

 

(B)

Mortgage payments (principal and interest), and ground lease rent;

 

(C)

Commissions, advertising costs, attorney’s fees, and costs of improvements in connection with leasing space in the Building;

 

(D)

Costs reimbursed by insurance proceeds;

 

(E)

Depreciation;

 

(F)

Except for the costs identified in §4.2(b)(1)(F), costs required to be capitalized according to sound real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied;

5


 

 

(G)

Collection costs and legal fees paid in disputes with tenants;  

 

(H)

Costs to maintain and operate the entity that is Landlord (as opposed to operation and maintenance of the Project);

 

(I)

In the Base Year, only, installments of costs amortized under subsection (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this §4.2, unless such costs are included in Expenses in Lease Years subsequent to the Base Year,

 

(J)

The costs of utilities and services:

 

(i)

Set forth in subsections (4) and (9) of §6.l (a) that are provided to the Premises and to other tenanted premises in the Building, regardless of whether such Standard Services are subject to direct payment by Tenant or such other tenants of the Building pursuant to §6.2 or any similar lease provision; and

 

(ii)

Otherwise reimbursed by Tenant pursuant to §6.3, or by other tenants of the Building pursuant to any similar provision of their respective leases (and not as part of Additional Rent, or any similar lease provision for the sharing of Building costs);

 

(K)

Costs incurred by Landlord to comply with notices of violation of applicable Jaws, including the Americans With Disabilities Act, as amended, when such notices are for conditions existing prior to the Commencement Date that would have been a violation of applicable laws existing as of the Commencement Date; and

 

(L)

Penalties, fines, and associated legal expenses incurred by Landlord due to the violation by Landlord or any other tenant of the Building (other than Tenant) of applicable laws

 

(c)

Amortization and Accounting Principles.

 

(1)

Each item of Mandated Expenses and Quality Expenses will be fully amortized in equal annual installments, with interest on the principal balance at Amortization Rate, over the number of years that Landlord projects the item of Expenses will be productive for its intended use, without replacement, but properly repaired and maintained.

 

(2)

Each item of Cost-Saving Expenses will be fully amortized in equal annual installments, with interest on the principal balance at the Amortization Rate, over the number of years that Landlord reasonably estimates for the present value of the projected savings in Expenses (discounted at the Amortization Rate) to equal the cost.

 

(3)

Any item of Expenses of significant cost that is not required to be capitalized but is unexpected or does not typically recur may, in Landlord’s discretion, be amortized in equal annual installments, with interest on the principal balance at the Amortization Rate, over a number of years determined by Landlord.

 

(4)

“Amortization Rate” means the greater of (A) prime rate of Citibank, N.A. (or a comparable financial institution selected by Landlord) in effect as of the last day of the year in which the costs were incurred, plus 3%, or (B) the actual cost incurred by Landlord for financing.

 

(5)

Landlord may allocate Expenses and Taxes for the Project to various components of the Project on an equitable basis, or as required by any reciprocal easement agreement or common interest association agreement affecting the Project.

 

(6)

Subject to the specific provisions of this Article 4, Landlord will use sound real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied, to determine Additional Rent.

 

(d)

Estimates. Landlord will reasonably estimate Additional Rent for each Comparison Year (“Estimated Additional Rent”). During each Comparison Year, Tenant will pay the Estimated Additional Rent in advance, in equal Monthly installments, on the first day of each Month of the Comparison Year. Landlord may reasonably revise the Estimated Additional Rent during a Comparison Year and the Monthly installments of Estimated Additional Rent for the remainder of the Comparison Year will be increased or decreased accordingly. Until Landlord provides Tenant with the Estimated Additional Rent for a Comparison Year, Tenant will continue to pay the Estimated Additional Rent for the prior Comparison Year.

Settlement. As soon as practical after the end of each Comparison Year, Landlord will give Tenant a statement of the actual Additional Rent for the Comparison Year. Additional Rent for any partial Comparison Year will be prorated based on a 365-day calendar year. The statement of Additional Rent is conclusive, binds Tenant, and Tenant waives all rights to contest the statement, except for items of Additional Rent to which Tenant objects by notice to Landlord given within 90 days after receipt of Landlord’s statement; however, Tenant’s objection will not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay Additional Rent pending resolution of any objection. If the Additional Rent exceeds the Estimated Additional Rent for the Comparison Year, then Tenant shall pay the underpayment to Landlord in a lump sum as Rent within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s statement of Additional Rent. If the Estimated Additional Rent exceeds the Additional Rent for the Comparison Year, then Landlord shall credit the overpayment against Rent next due or refund such amount to Tenant concurrently with the delivery of such statement if the Lease is to terminate with the same Year as the final calculation of the Additional Rent for the Comparison Year. 

4.3 Tenant’s Taxes. Upon demand, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for taxes paid by Landlord, other than net income taxes, on (a) Tenant’s Personal Property, (b) Rent, (c) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, or (d) this Lease. If Tenant cannot lawfully reimburse Landlord for these taxes, then the Base Rent will be increased to yield to Landlord the same amount after these taxes were imposed as Landlord would have received before these taxes were imposed.

4.4 Terms of Payment. “Rent” means all amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease and the exhibits, including Base Rent and Additional Rent. If a time for payment of an item of Rent is not specified in this Lease, then Tenant will pay Rent within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s statement or invoice. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Rent without notice, demand, deduction, abatement, or setoff, in lawful U.S. currency, at Landlord’s Billing Address. Landlord will send invoices payable by Tenant to Tenant’s Billing Address; however, neither Landlord’s failure to send an invoice nor Tenant’s failure to receive an invoice for Base Rent (and installments of Estimated Additional Rent) will relieve Tenant of its obligation to timely pay Base Rent (and installments of Estimated Additional Rent). Any partial payment of Rent by Tenant will be considered a payment on account. No endorsement or statement on any Rent check or any letter accompanying Rent will be deemed an accord and satisfaction, affect Landlord’s right to collect the full Rent due, or require Landlord to apply any payment to any Rent other than Rent earliest due. No payment by Tenant to Landlord will be deemed to extend the Term or render any notice, pending suit or judgment ineffective. By notice to the other, each party may change its Billing Address.

4.5 Late Payment. If Landlord does not receive all or part of any item of Rent when due, then Tenant shall pay Landlord 5% of the overdue Rent, plus interest on the unpaid Rent at the Default Rate from the date due until paid (collectively, a “Late Charge”) as Rent. Tenant agrees that the Late Charge is not a penalty, and will compensate Landlord for costs not contemplated under this Lease that are impracticable or extremely difficult to fix. Landlord’s acceptance of a Late Charge does not waive any applicable Tenant’s Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will waive a Late Charge otherwise due from Tenant if:

 

(a)

Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of Tenant’s claim for waiver of the Late Charge within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice for the Late Charge;

 

(b)

Tenant has neither incurred a Late Charge nor received a waiver of a Late Charge in the 12 consecutive Months before the due date of the late payment;

 

(c)

Tenant is not in Default; and

 

(d)

Tenant has paid Landlord the overdue amount.

5.

(b)

Landlord’s Compliance. The cost of Landlord’s compliance with laws or directives of Landlord’s insurers concerning the Project, other than those that are Tenant’s obligation under subsection (a), will be included in Expenses to the extent allowed under §4.2.

5.3 Occupancy. Tenant shall not interfere with Building services or other tenants’ rights to quietly enjoy their respective premises or the Common Areas. Tenant shall not make or continue a nuisance, including any objectionable odor, noise, fire hazard, vibration, or wireless or electromagnetic transmission. Tenant will not maintain any Leasehold Improvements or use the Premises in a way that increases the cost of insurance required under §9.2, or requires insurance in addition to the coverage required under §9.2.

5.4 OFAC Certification. Tenant represents that: (a) Tenant is not now and has never been listed or named as a Blocked Person, or (b) Tenant is not now and has never been acting directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, any Blocked Person. “Blocked Person” means any person, group, entity or nation designated by the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist or a “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or that is a banned or blocked person, entity, nation under any law, order, rule or regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

8


 

 

will be included in Expenses. Landlord is not responsible for any inability to provide Standard Services due to either: a concentration of personnel or equipment in the Premises in excess of that customary for the general administrative office use; or Tenant’s use of equipment in the Premises that is not customary office equipment or has special cooling requirements.  

6.2 Direct Charge for Electricity and Janitorial Services. Tenant will pay as Rent the costs incurred by Landlord to provide those Standard Services set forth in subsections (4) and (9) of §6.1(a) subject to the following:

 

(a)

Tenant’s total consumption of electricity in the Premises, including lighting, convenience outlets, and HVAC units, will be separately metered with Building Standard meters to be installed and maintained at Tenant’s cost and expense (and which will constitute part of the Leasehold Improvements and may be included as a Work Cost pursuant to the Work Letter). Landlord may, but will not be required to, install an energy management and billing system to read such meters and determine the cost incurred by Landlord of Tenant’s electrical usage (which system will be part of the Mechanical System) based upon any or all of the following, as applicable: (i) the actual cost per kilowatt to which Landlord is subject to charge by the utility providing service to the Building, as determined by Landlord’s energy management and billing system.

 

(b)

The charge to Tenant for janitorial services provided to Tenant as a part of Standard Services will be the product of (i) the USF of the Premises, and (ii) the cost per USF of janitorial services provided to tenanted premises of the Building as part of Standard Services (as opposed to costs incurred with respect to the Common Areas, which will be included in Expenses).

6.3 Additional Services. Landlord will provide utilities and services in excess of the Standard Services subject to the following:

 

(a)

HVAC. If Tenant requests condenser water for HVAC service to the Premises during non-Business Hours, Tenant will pay as Rent Landlord’s scheduled rate for this service.

 

(b)

Lighting. Landlord may elect to furnish non-Building Standard lamps, bulbs, ballasts, and starters that are part of the Leasehold improvements for purchase by Tenant at Landlord’s cost, plus Landlord’s standard administration fee.

(c)

Other Utilities and Services. Tenant will pay as Rent the actual cost of utilities or services (other than those directly charged pursuant to §6.2, or delineated in subsections (a) and (b) of this §6.1) either used by Tenant or provided at Tenant’s request in excess of that provided as part of the Standard Services, plus Landlord’s standard administration fee. Tenant’s excess consumption may be estimated by Landlord unless either Landlord requires or Tenant elects to install Building Standard meters to measure Tenant’s consumption.

 

(d)

Additional Systems and Metering. Landlord may require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to upgrade or modify existing Mechanical Systems serving the Premises or the Leasehold Improvements to the extent necessary to meet Tenant’s excess requirements, including installation of Building Standard meters in addition to those meters required under §6.2(a) to measure the same.

6.4 Telecommunication Services. Tenant will contract directly with third party providers and will be solely responsible for paying for all telephone, data transmission, video and other telecommunication services (“Telecommunication Services”) subject to the following:

 

(a)

Providers. Each Telecommunication Services provider that does not already provide service to the Building shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord may withhold in Landlord’s sole discretion. Without liability to Tenant, the license of any Telecommunication Services provider servicing the Building may be terminated under the terms of the license, or not renewed upon the expiration of the license.

 

(b)

Tenant’s Wiring. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, designate the location of all wires, cables, fibers, equipment, and connections (“Tenant’s Wiring”) for Tenant’s Telecommunication Services, restrict and control access to telephone cabinets and rooms. Tenant may not use or access the Base Building, Common Areas or roof for Tenant’s Wiring without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant’s Wiring will be subject to removal in accordance with §3.3.

 

(c)

No Beneficiaries. This §6.4 is solely for Tenant’s benefit, and no one else shall be considered a beneficiary of these provisions.

6.5 Special Circumstances. Without breaching this Lease or creating any liability on the part of Landlord, Landlord may interrupt, limit or discontinue any utility or services Landlord provides under this Article 6 under any of the following circumstances: (a) without notice, in an emergency; (b) with reasonable notice, to comply with laws; (c) with reasonable notice, to conform to

9


 

voluntary government or industry guidelines; (d) with reasonable advance notice, to repair and maintain the Project under §7.2 (including scheduled annual Building-wide shutdowns; or (e) with reasonable notice, to modify, perform Renovations or improve the Project under §8.2. If as a result of any interruption, limitation or discontinuance of any utility or services under clause (c), (d) or (e) of this §6.5, the Premises are Untenantable (as defined in §10.1(a)) and Tenant does not actually use all or part of the Premises as a result thereof, then Tenant’s Rent will be abated to the same extent as if Untenantable due to damage or destruction, in the manner of and subject to the provisions of §10.2.

6.6 REIT Compliance. If Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), any service required or permitted to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, the charge or cost of which may be treated as impermissible tenant service income under the laws governing a REIT, may be performed by an independent contractor of Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, or a taxable REIT subsidiary that is affiliated with either Landlord or Landlord’s property manager (each, a “Service Provider”). If Tenant is subject to a charge under this Lease for any such service, then at Landlord’s direction Tenant will pay the charge for such service either to Landlord for further payment to the Service Provider or directly to the Service Provider and, in either case (a) Landlord will credit such payment against any charge for such service made by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, and (b) Tenant’s payment of the Service Provider will not relieve Landlord from any obligation under the Lease concerning the provisions of such services.

7.

REPAIRS

7.1 Tenant’s Repairs. Except as provided in Articles 10 and 12 and subject to Article 11, during the Term Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost, repair, maintain and replace, if necessary, the Leasehold Improvements and keep the Premises in the condition delivered to Tenant, subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty. Tenant’s work under this §7.l must be (a) approved by Landlord before commencement, (b) supervised by Landlord at Tenant’s cost, if Landlord so reasonably requires, (c) performed in compliance with laws and Building rules and regulations, and (d) performed lien free and in a first-class manner with materials of at least Building Standard.

7.2 Landlord’s Repairs. Except as provided in Articles 10 and 12, during the Term Landlord shall repair, maintain and replace, if necessary, all parts of the Project that are not Tenant’s responsibility under §7.1, or any other tenant’s responsibility under their respective lease, and otherwise keep the Project in good order and condition according to the standards prevailing for comparable office buildings in the area in which the Building is located. Except in an emergency, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid disrupting the Use of the Premises in performing Landlord’s duties under this §7.2; however, Landlord will not be required to employ premium labor to perform any of Landlord’s duties under this §7.2. Tenant may not repair or maintain the Project on Landlord’s behalf or offset any Rent for any repair or maintenance of the Project that is undertaken by Tenant.

8.

ALTERATIONS

8.1 Alterations by Tenant. “Alterations” means any modifications, additions, or improvements to the Premises or Leasehold Improvements made by Tenant during the Term, including modifications to the Base Building or Common Areas required by law as a condition of performing the work. Alterations do not include work performed under a Work Letter that is part of this Lease. Alterations are made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to the following:

 

(a)

Consent Required. All Alterations that cost in excess of $20,000.00 or require a building permit from the applicable governmental agency shall require Landlord’s prior written consent; and if Landlord’s consent is not required pursuant to foregoing, then Tenant must submit written notice to Landlord of any such Alteration no less than 10 business days prior to the commencement of such Alteration. If a Design Problem exists, Landlord may withhold its consent in Landlord’s sole discretion; otherwise, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent. Unless Tenant at the time of installation obtains Landlord’s prior written consent to remove the Alterations, then such Alterations will become part of the Premises to be tendered to Landlord on termination of the Lease. Landlord may require Tenant to remove Alterations and restore the Premises under §3.3 upon termination of this Lease if the Alterations are not customary Alterations for the Use and, if consent is required, Landlord requires such removal as a condition of Landlord’s consent.

 

(b)

Design Problem Defined. “Design Problem” means a condition that results, or will result, from work proposed, being performed or that has been completed that either:

 

(1)

Does not comply with laws;

 

(2)

Does not meet or exceed the Building Standard;

 

(3)

Exceeds the capacity, adversely affects, is incompatible with, or impairs Landlord’s ability to maintain, operate, alter, modify, or improve the Base Building;

 

(4)

Affects the exterior appearance of the Building or Common Areas;

10


 

 

(5)

Violates any agreement affecting the Project;  

 

(6)

Costs more to demolish than Building Standard improvements;

 

(7)

Violates any insurance regulations or standards for a fire-resistive office building;

 

(8)

Locates any equipment, Tenant’s Wiring or Tenant’s Personal Property on the roof of the Building, in Common Areas or in telecommunication or electrical closets, except for connections of Tenant’s Wiring to service provided by Telecommunications Services providers; or

 

(9)

Causes a “work of visual art” (as defined in the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990) to be incorporated into or made a part of the Building.

 

(c)

Performance of Alterations. Alterations shall be performed by Tenant in a good and workman-like manner according to plans and specifications approved by Landlord, if applicable. All Alterations shall comply with law and insurance requirements. Landlord’s designated contractors must perform Alterations affecting the Base Building or Mechanical Systems; and, all other work will be performed by qualified contractors that meet Landlord’s insurance requirements and are otherwise approved by Landlord. Promptly after completing Alterations, if applicable, Tenant will deliver to Landlord “as-built” CADD plans, proof of payment, a copy of the recorded notice of completion, and all unconditional lien releases.

 

(d)

Bonding. If requested by Landlord, before commencing Alterations requiring consent Tenant shall at Tenant’s cost obtain bonds, or deposit with Landlord other security acceptable to Landlord for the payment and completion of the Alterations. These bonds or other security shall be in form and amount acceptable to Landlord.

 

(e)

Alterations Fee. Tenant shall pay Landlord as Rent 3% of the total construction costs of the Alterations that are not cosmetic Alterations to cover review of Tenant’s plans and construction coordination by Landlord’s employees. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual cost that Landlord reasonably incurs to have engineers, architects, or other professional consultants review Tenant’s plans and work in progress, or inspect the completed Alterations.

8.2 Renovations. Landlord may modify, renovate, or improve the Project, including the granting of rights to other tenants to modify, renovate, or improve their respective premises and Common Areas serving their premises (“Renovations”) as Landlord deems appropriate; provided, that Renovations may not materially adversely impair Tenant’s access to the Premises from the Common Areas on a permanent basis and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid disrupting Tenant’s Use of the Premises during Business Hours. Renovations may include demolishing or removing improvements, erecting scaffolding or other necessary structures, screening, limiting access to portions of the Project (or all of the Project, if required for safety reasons), and performing work that creates noise, dust, or debris. Provided that Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with the conduct of business in the Premises for the Use during Business Hours, the performance of Renovations will not constitute a constructive eviction. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease, Renovations will not entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or damages for interference with Tenant’s business or the loss of use of any or all of the Premises. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do the work permitted pursuant to this Section in a manner that will minimize, to the extent commercially practicable, the disruption of Tenant’s business in the Premises.

8.3 Liens and Disputes. With respect to Alterations undertaken by Tenant, Tenant will keep title to the Land and Building free of any liens concerning the Leasehold Improvements (other than with respect to Landlord’s Work pursuant to the Work Letter), Alterations, or Tenant’s Personal Property, and will promptly take whatever action is required to have any of these liens released and removed of record (including, as necessary, posting a bond or other deposit). To the extent legally permitted, each contract and subcontract for Alterations will provide that no lien attaches to or may be claimed against the Project. Tenant will indemnify Landlord for costs that Landlord reasonably incurs because of Tenant’s violation of this §8.3.

10.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

10.1 Damage and Repair. If all or any part of the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty, then the parties will proceed as follows:

 

(a)

Landlord’s Estimates. Landlord will assess the damage to the Project (but not the Leasehold Improvements) and notify Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the time required to substantially complete repairs and restoration of the Project (“Repair Estimate”) within 30 days after the date of the casualty. Landlord will also estimate the time that all or a portion of the Premises will be Untenantable (“Interruption Estimate”) within 30 days after the date of the casualty. “Untenantable” means that the Premises are not reasonably accessible or are unfit for the Use. Within 30 days after the later of the casualty, issuance of the Repair Estimate, issuance of the Interruption Estimate, or receipt of any denial of coverage or reservation of rights from Landlord’s insurer, each party may terminate the Lease by written notice to the other on the following conditions:

 

(1)

Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease if either:

 

(A)

The Repair Estimate exceeds 180 days, or

 

(B)

The damage or destruction occurs in the last 12 Months of the Term and the Repair Estimate exceeds 20% of the remaining Term; or

 

(C)

The repair and restoration is not fully covered by insurance maintained or required to be maintained by Landlord (subject only to those deductibles or retentions Landlord elected to maintain) or Landlord’s insurer denies coverage.

 

(2)

Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if either (i) the Interruption Estimate exceeds 180 days, or (ii) the damage or destruction occurs in the last 12 Months of the Term and the Interruption Estimate exceeds 20% of the remaining Term.

 

(b)

Repairs. If neither party terminates the Lease under (a), then the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the parties will proceed as follows:

 

(1)

Landlord will repair and restore the Project (but not Leasehold Improvements) to the condition existing prior to such damage, except for modifications required by law. Landlord will perform such work reasonably promptly, subject to delay for loss adjustment, delay caused by Tenant and Force Majeure.

 

(2)

Tenant will repair and restore the Leasehold Improvements reasonably promptly to the condition existing prior to such damage, but not less than then current Building Standards, except for modifications required by law.

 

(3)

Tenant may not terminate this Lease if the actual time to perform the repairs and restoration exceeds the Repair Estimate, or the actual interruption exceeds the Interruption Estimate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if(A) either the actual time to perform the repairs and restoration to the Base Building and Leasehold Improvements exceeds the Repair Estimate by more than 60 days, or the actual interruption exceeds the Interruption Estimate by more than 60 days (each such period to be extended by any delay caused by Tenant), and (B) the total time which the Premises will be Untenantable will exceed 180 days, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if the repairs and restoration are completed within said 30 day period, then this Lease will not be so terminated and will continue in full force and effect.

10.2 Rent Abatement. If as a result of the damage or destruction under §10.1 all or any part of the Premises becomes Untenantable and Tenant does not actually use the Untenantable part of the Premises, then Tenant’s Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Untenantable part of the Premises that Tenant does not actually use will be abated until the Untenantable part of the Premises becomes tenantable; however, Tenant will not be entitled to abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent after that date (a) Landlord repairs and restores the Project to the extent necessary for Tenant to reasonably access and use the Premises for the Use, and (b) repair and restoration of the Leasehold Improvements would have been substantially complete if Tenant had performed its obligations under §10.1 (b )(2) diligently and in coordination with Landlord’s work. Tenant’s sole remedies against Landlord for damage or destruction of any part of the Project is abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent under this §10.2 and/or termination of the Lease as provided in §10.1, and Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any other amount, including damages to Tenant’s Personal Property, consequential damages, actual or constructive eviction, or abatement of any other item of Rent.

(a)

Total Taking. If because of a Taking substantially all of the Premises is untenantable for substantially all of the remaining Term, then the Lease terminates on the date of the Taking.

14


 

 

(b)

(c)

If the Lease is not terminated under (a) or (b), the Rent payable by Tenant will be reduced for the term of the Taking based upon the RSF Premises rendered Untenantable by the Taking and that Tenant does not actually use.

Landlord is entitled to the entire award for any claim for a taking of any interest in this Lease or the Project, without deduction or offset for Tenant’s estate or interest; however, Tenant may make a claim for relocation expenses and damages to Tenant’s Personal Property and business to the extent that Tenant’s claim does not reduce Landlord’s award.

Tenant may not enter into a Transfer if the proposed Transferee is directly or indirectly related to the Landlord under §856, et seq. of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended). Any such Transfers shall be considered null, void and of no force or effect.

13.3 Consent Not Required.

13.4 Consent Required. Each proposed Transfer, other than any Transfer prohibited under § 13.2 or permitted under § 13.3, requires Landlord’s prior consent, in which case the parties will proceed as follows:

 

(a)

Tenant’s Notice. Tenant shall notify Landlord at least 30 days prior to the proposed Transfer of the name and address of the proposed Transferee and the proposed use of the Premises, and include in the notice the Transfer documents and copies of the proposed Transferee’s balance sheet and income statement for the most recent complete fiscal year.

15


 

 

(b)

Landlord’s Rights. Within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s complete notice, Landlord may either:  

 

(1)

If the proposed Transfer is either an assignment of this Lease a sublease of all of the Premises or any part of the Premises that will be separately demised and have its own entrance from the Common Areas and for substantially all of the remaining Term of the Lease, terminate this Lease as of the proposed Transfer date; provided, however, that there shall be no termination if Tenant rescinds its request within 5 days after receipt of Landlord’s election to terminate; or

 

(2)

Consent or deny consent to the proposed Transfer, provided that consent will not be unreasonably withheld if:

 

(A)

The proposed Transferee, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, has the financial capacity to meet its obligations under the proposed Transfer;

 

(B)

The proposed use is consistent with the Use and will not cause Landlord to be in breach of any lease or other agreement affecting the Project;

 

(C)

The proposed Transferee is typical of tenants that directly lease premises in first-class office buildings;

 

(D)

The proposed Transferee is not an existing tenant or an Affiliate of an existing tenant, or a party with which Landlord is actively negotiating to lease space in the Building (or has, in the last 6 months, been actively negotiating to lease), unless Landlord does not have space in the Building to accommodate such tenant, Affiliate or party;

(G)

The proposed Transferee is not named or listed as a Blocked Person; and

 

(c)

Compelling Consent. If Landlord does not consent to a Transfer, Tenant’s sole remedy against Landlord will be an action for specific performance or declaratory relief, and Tenant may not terminate this Lease or seek monetary damages.

13.5 Payments to Landlord. Tenant will pay Landlord 50% of Transfer receipts that exceed Tenant’s Rent (on a per square foot basis); after Tenant is reimbursed for Tenant’s reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs incurred in the Transfer, including attorneys’ fees, cost of improvements (or construction allowances) provided to the Transferee, Alterations, and broker commissions. Tenant shall pay Landlord a $500 review fee for each proposed Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent, excepting those in which Landlord exercises its rights under subsection (1) of §13.4(b).

13.6 Effect of Transfers. No Transfer releases Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease from any Lease obligation. Landlord’s acceptance of a payment from any person or entity other than Tenant that occupies the Premises does not waive Tenant’s obligations under this Article 13. If Tenant is in Default of this Lease, then Landlord may (a) proceed against Tenant without exhausting any remedies against any Transferee, and (b) by written notice to a Transferee, require such Transferee to pay directly to Landlord all consideration payable by Transferee to Tenant under the Transfer (which Landlord will apply against Tenant’s obligations under this Lease). Termination of this Lease for any reason will not result in a merger of the Lease and any sublease, each of which will be deemed terminated concurrently with this Lease unless Landlord elects by notice to a subtenant to assume their sublease, in which case the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord under the executory terms of the sublease.

14.

(e)

Tenant shall not interfere in any way with the Bank’s obligation to pay to Landlord any proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the Bank’s failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner.

S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

 

(g)
