1) The Base Rent set forth in Schedule B is subject to increases as a result of increases in the cost of living during the term. On each anniversary of the Commencement Date (each an “Adjustment Date”), Base Rent shall be adjusted to reflect the increase, if any, in the cost of living over the preceding anniversary year.

If the Index is not in existence at the time the determination is to be made, the parties shall use such equivalent price index as is published by a successor government agency in lieu of the Index, or, if no such price index is published, then the parties shall use a mutually acceptable equivalent price index as is published by a non-governmental agency.

During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord may re-enter the Premises with or without legal process and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s account, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all claims for damages by reason of such re-entry, as well as any and all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrants or proceedings by way of sequestration which Landlord may employ to recover said rents. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, attorneys’ fees and costs and like costs Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease, and in no even shall Landlord be under any obligation to relet the Premises. On the dates such rent is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the Rent due under this Lease, less the rent Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by landlord allowed by this paragraph shall terminate the Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate the Lease.

 

2. Landlord may Terminate the Lease at any time. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to collect an amount equal to: all expenses incurred by Landlord in recovering possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs; all reasonable costs and charges for the care of the Premises while vacant; all renovation costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the Premises for a new tenant; all past due Rent which is unpaid, plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined in paragraph (VIII) of Article XXI); and an amount by which the entire Rent for the remainder of the Term exceeds the loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided.

 

Should any of these remedies, or any portion thereof, not be permitted by the laws of the state in which the Building is situated, then such remedy or portion thereof shall be considered deleted and unenforceable, and the remaining remedies or portions thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect. Landlord may avail itself of these as well as any other remedies or damages allowed by law. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord provided herein or elsewhere by law or in equity shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of one another.

 

ARTICLE XIV. RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

Tenant shall observe faithfully and comply strictly with the Rules and Regulations set forth on Addendum “C” attached to this Lease and made a part hereof, and such other rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably adopt for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Building or the preservation of good order therein. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of any such Rules and Regulations, or for the breach of any covenant or condition in any lease by any other tenant in the Building. By the signing of this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has read and has agreed to comply with such Rules and Regulations.

 

ARTICLE XV. RIGHT OF ACCESS

 

Upon reasonable notice to tenant. Landlord and its agents shall have free access to the Premises during all reasonable hours for the purposes of inspection, to make reasonable repairs as required hereunder (provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation as a result of such examination to make any repairs other than expressly set forth herein), and to exhibit the same to prospective purchasers or tenants Landlord and its agents shall have access to the Premises at any time without prior notice in the event of an emergency

 

ARTICLE XVI. END OF TERM

 

1. Surrender of Premises: At the termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good a condition and repair as at the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will leave the Premises broom-clean. If not then in default, Tenant shall have the right prior to said termination to remove any equipment, furniture, trade fixtures or other personal property placed in Premises by Tenant provided that Tenant promptly repairs any damage to the Premises caused by such removal.

 

2. Holdover: (a) In the event that Tenant holds over and remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of Term, this Lease shall be extended automatically for an additional term of one year (each such one year term, a (“Holdover Term”) on the same

terms and conditions as contained in this Lease, except as provided otherwise in this Article XVI. 2, Annual Base Rent for each Holdover Term (the “New Base Rent”), shall be (i) the amount of Base Rent payable at the end of the immediately preceding Term which shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with same formula and at the same intervals as provided for such preceding Term, or (ii) if Landlord determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such amount is not consistent with fair market value, the amount equal to the fair market rental value of the Premises, on an annual basis. Such fair market rental value shall be determined by Landlord based on a survey of rental rates being charged in the market area which encompasses the Building for space comparable to the Premises (taking into account the quality, age, floor level quality of tenant improvements provided and other (relevant factors) and assuming lease terms which allocate responsibility for taxes, insurance and other costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the Building and the Premises in the same manner as this Lease. Subject to Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease during a Holdover Term provided in Article XVI. 2(c), Landlord’s determination of such New Base Rent shall be incontestably binding by Tenant.

 

(b) Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the New Base Rent for the Premises as promptly as reasonably possible after the commencement of a Holdover Term. Until such notice is received, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent at the rate in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the preceding Term of this Lease Beginning on the first day of the next month after Tenant receives Landlord’s notice and thereafter for the remainder of the Holdover Term, Tenant shall pay New Base Rent in equal monthly installments and such first payment shall also include an additional sum representing a retroactive adjustment with respect to any month or months of such Holdover Term for which Base Rent has been paid in the amount in effect for the preceding Term, so that Landlord shall have received rent for such months at the rate of the New Base Rent.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to contrary set in Article XVI. 2(a), either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease at any time during a Holdover Term by giving the other party not less than 30 days advance written notice, and or before the effective date of such termination Tenant shall have vacated and surrendered the Premises and both parties shall be released of all liabilities rising or accruing under this Lease following the effective date of such termination and surrender of the Premises to Landlord in the manner provided in Article XVI. 1; provided that if this Lease is terminated during a Holdover Term, Landlord and Tenant shall not enter into a new lease for the Premises prior to one year after commencement of such Holdover Term.

 

ARTICLE XVII. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST

 

In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord accruing from and after the date of such transfer.

 

ARTICLE XVIII. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE, ATTORNMENT, AND NON-DISTURBANCE

 

Within ten (10) days following receipt of Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall deliver, executed in recordable form, a declaration to any person designated by Landlord: (a) ratifying this Lease; (b) stating the commencement and termination dates of the Lease; and (c) certifying (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writings as shall be stated); (ii) that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been satisfied (stating exceptions, if any); (iii) that no defenses, credits or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord exist (or stating those claimed); (iv) the sum of advance Rent, if any, paid by Tenant; (v) the date to which Rent has been paid; (vi) the amount of security deposited with Landlord; and (vii) such other information as Landlord reasonably requires Persons receiving such statements of Tenant shall be entitled to rely upon them.

 

In the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Building or if the holder of any existing or future mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, or the lessor under any existing or future underlying lease pursuant to which Landlord is the lessee, shall hereafter succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease, then at the option of such successor, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that may be necessary to evidence such attornment. If any such successor requests such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor, as Landlord and Tenant subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, regardless of whether Tenant executes and delivers the instrument requested by such successor landlord.

 

This Lease shall be subject to and subordinate and inferior at all times to the lien of any mortgage, to the lien of any deed of trust or other method of financing or refinancing now or hereafter existing against all or a part of the real property upon which the Building is located, and to any existing or future lease by which Landlord leases the Building and/or the ground upon which the Building is located (in which latter instance this Lease is a sublease), and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, consolidations and extensions of any of the foregoing. Tenant shall execute and deliver all documents requested by any mortgage, security holder or lessor to effect such subordination. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such document requested by a mortgagee, security holder or lessor to effect such subordination, Landlord is hereby authorized to execute such documents and take such other reasonable steps as are necessary to effect such subordination on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s duly authorized irrevocable agent and attorney-in-fact, it being agreed that such power is one coupled with an interest. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such documents or instruments provided for in this Article XVIII within fourteen (14) days after the receipt by Tenant of a written request shall constitute a default under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE XIX. NOTICES

 

Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by: (1) hand delivery and shall be deemed given on the date of delivery; (2) registered or certified mail and shall be deemed given the third day following the date of mailing; or (3) overnight delivery and shall be deemed given the following day.

ARTICLE XX. TERMINATION AS A RESULT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY

 

Provided that Tenant is a solo practitioner or a professional corporation with one shareholder, and provided that Tenant, at the time of such practitioner’s or shareholder’s death or “permanent disability” (as hereinafter defined), is not in default under any term or condition of this Lease, Tenant or the legal representative of his/her estate shall have the right to terminate this Lease; provided that Tenant or such legal representative pays Landlord a sum equal to two months Base Rent as consideration for such termination (the Termination Fee”). In either such event, notice of termination being given as a result of death or permanent disability shall be effective only if it is in writing, and if accompanied by payment of the Termination Fee and satisfactory documentation of any permanent disability. However, this Lease shall remain in effect and Tenant and his/her estate shall be liable for the Rent due under this Lease and the performance of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease until the end of the calendar month in which such notice of termination and the Termination Fee are received by Landlord, or if later, the date that all of Tenant’s personal property, equipment and fixtures are removed from the Premises, as provided in Articles VI and XVI of the Lease.

 

“Permanent Disability” shall mean that such practitioner or shareholder is medically determined to be permanently unable to practice medicine as a result of a permanent physical disability.

 

If Tenant consists of two or more individual persons, a partnership, or a corporation with two or more shareholders, Landlord agrees to release from liability under this Lease any deceased or permanently disabled person or partner, or deceased or permanently disabled shareholder who has guaranteed this Lease; provided that the remaining person(s) who constitute Tenant, the remaining partners or the remaining shareholder(s), as the case may be, assume all liabilities and obligations from which such person has been released. Upon the occurrence of any such death or permanent disability, Tenant may give Landlord written notice, which shall include satisfactory evidence of any permanent disability, and such release shall be effective upon execution of appropriate release and assumption agreements by the parties.

 

ARTICLE XXI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

(i) ATTORNEYS’ FEES. In the event that suit is brought by either party against the other for a breach of default under the terms of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, which sum shall be fixed by the court.

 

(ii) TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease.

 

(iii) HEADINGS: CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. The article captions contained in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. The word “Term” as used herein, shall be deemed to include, where applicable, any extended or renewal term. The word “Landlord” means the owner of the Building from time to time, and in the event of any sole, conveyance or lease of the Building, the Landlord shall be released from all covenants and conditions as Landlord hereunder and without further agreement between the partners, the purchaser, lessee or other transferee of the Building shall be deemed to have assumed all covenants and conditions of Landlord hereunder. No consent of Tenant shall be required in the event of any such sale, conveyance or lease of the Building which is made subject to this Lease, or to any sale or conveyance of the Building pursuant to which Landlord leases the Building back from such purchaser or other transferee, in which case the Lease shall remain in full force and effect as a sublessee between Landlord, as sublessor and Tenant, as sublessee.

 

(iv) INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS: AMENDMENTS. The Lease, the Addenda and the Exhibits attached

hereto and Incorporated herein contain all of the agreements of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.

 

(v) WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant mutually waive any and all rights of recovery against one another based upon the negligence of either Landlord or Tenant or other agents or employees for real or personal property loss or damage occurring to the Premises or to the Building or any part thereof or any personal property located therein from perils which are able to be insured against in standard fire and extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief and sprinkler leakage insurance contracts (commonly referred to as “All Risk”), whether or not such insurance is actually carried.

 

(vi) WAIVER. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision

hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision Landlord’s consent or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant, whether or not similar to the act so consented to or approved. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by landlord. The subsequent acceptance of Rent shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted.

 

(vii) QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord shall warrant and defend Tenant in the quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises throughout the Term, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Lease.

 

(viii) LATE CHARGE. If any monthly installment of Base Rent or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs or any payment of Additional Rent is not paid within ten (10) days after such installment or payment is due and payable (the “Late Payment Date”), Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord a late charge of 5% of the amount of such installment of payment. In addition, if any such past due installment of Base Rent or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Operating Costs or payment of Additional Rent is not paid within the 30 day period following the Late Payment Date or within any subsequent 30 day period, such past due installment or payment shall be subject to an additional late charge in the same amount for each such 30 day period until paid. Such late charge is to defray the administrative costs and inconvenience and other expenses which Landlord will incur on account of such delinquency. Any amounts payable to Landlord under this Lease, if not paid in full on or before the due date thereof, shall bear interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of interest (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the prime rate of interest as published by The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus 4% per annum, with each change in such prime rate being effective on the date such change is published.

 

(ix) RELOCATION. Landlord shall have the right, upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice to Tenant, to relocate Tenant to other space designated by Landlord within the Building provided that: (1) Landlord shall pay all reasonable costs of such relocation, including, without limitation, moving costs, installation of telecommunication and computer lines, and printing costs for new stationery, (b) such relocation shall be performed on a weekend so as to minimize any interruption to tenant’s business, (c) the floor area of such relocation space shall be not less than the floor area of the Premises, and (d) the tenant finishes in such relocation space shall be comparable to the tenant finishes in the Premises prior to such relocation. Upon any such relocation, this Lease shall be deemed to be amended so as to change the location of the Premises to the relocation space and upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease acknowledging such relocation.

 

(x) BINDING EFFECT. This Lease shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators. However, nothing in this Article shall be deemed to amend the provisions of Article X on Assignment and Subletting.

Attached to this Lease are the following Addenda, which contain additional provisions that are incorporated into this Lease by reference as if set forth herein: Addendum A-Interior Improvements: Addendum B-interior Improvements Cost Estimate; Addendum C-Rules and Regulations; and Addendum D-Guaranty.
