The amounts in the table above are estimated using a fixed Shell Rent rate of $0.4175 per square foot and not upon the Return-on-Cost Rent (as hereinafter defined). Payments of Base Rent shall be made by ACH, and shall be available in Landlords Designated Account (as hereinafter defined) on the second (2nd) business day of each calendar month. If the Determination Date (as hereinafter defined) has not occurred as of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall estimate the amount of the Base Rent based upon the information available to Landlord as of the Commencement Date and shall deliver to Tenant in writing with reasonable backup documentation such estimated Base Rent (Estimated Base Rent) and Landlords calculation thereof. Tenant shall pay Base Rent based upon the Estimated Base Rent delivered by Landlord (and until Landlord delivers the Estimated Base Rent, then the amounts set forth in the table above, shall be deemed the Estimated Base Rent). Upon the Determination Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the determination of the actual final Base Rent (together with Landlords calculation thereof), and Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease (the Base Rent Amendment) (i) to replace the foregoing Base Rent Table in this Section 1.09(a) or the Estimated Base Rent delivered by Landlord, to reflect the actual final Base Rent determined at the Determination Date (including the correct Shell Rent and TI Rent and increases thereto), and (ii) to reconcile any variances between the Estimated Base Rent paid by Tenant from the Commencement Date through the Determination Date and the actual Base Rent as determined at the Determination Date. To the extent Tenant fails to sign and return the Base Rent Amendment
4
within ten (10) business days of delivery to Tenant of the same from Landlord, Landlord shall deliver a second (2nd) written notice to Tenant and if Tenant fails within five (5) business days of Tenants receipt of such second (2nd) notice to sign and return the Base Rent Amendment, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such Base Rent Amendment and no Tenant signature shall be required therefor. To the extent the actual Base Rent payable by Tenant prior to the Determination Date is less than the Estimated Base Rent paid by Tenant for such period (the PDD Credit), the Base Rent Amendment shall provide for an additional abatement to Tenant for such PDD Credit. To the extent the actual Base Rent payable by Tenant prior to the Determination Date is more than the Estimated Base Rent paid by Tenant for such period (the PDD Differential), Tenant shall pay the PDD Differential to Landlord with the first installment of Base Rent coming due after the Determination Date. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Shell Rent shall not be finally determined until the Determination Date, and that the accounting, substantiation and disbursement of Project Costs shall conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11 of Exhibit D.
(i) | For purposes of this Lease, the following definitions shall apply: |
(A) Amortized TI Rent shall mean an amount to be reimbursed to Landlord for the costs of the Tenant Improvements in excess of the sum of the Base Improvement Allowance (as defined in Exhibit D) and the Capitalized TI Allowance (as defined in Exhibit D) up to the Amortized TI Amount (as defined in Exhibit D). The Amortized TI Rent shall be determined at the Determination Date by amortizing the Amortized TI Amount over the initial Lease Term at an interest rate of seven percent (7.0%); the monthly payments based on such amortization shall be the monthly Amortized TI Rent. Upon the occurrence of more than one (1) Event of Default hereunder in any calendar year (and the continuance of such Event of Default after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 10.02), any unpaid Amortized TI Rent payable for the remainder of the initial Lease Term shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant.
(B) Base Rent shall mean the amount which is the sum of the Shell Rent and the TI Rent.
(C) Capitalized TI Rent shall mean an amount to be reimbursed to Landlord for the costs of the Tenant Improvements in excess of the Base Improvement Allowance up to the Capitalized TI Amount (as defined in Exhibit D). The Capitalized TI Rent shall be determined at the Determination Date by multiplying the Capitalized
5
TI Amount by seven and one-half percent (7.5%) and dividing such amount by twelve; such amount shall be the monthly Capitalized TI Rent. Upon the occurrence of more than one (1) Event of Default hereunder in any calendar year (and the continuance of such Event of Default after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 10.02), any unpaid Capitalized TI Rent payable for the remainder of the initial Lease Term shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant.
(D) Landlords Designated Account shall mean the following ACH Credit account for Landlord: Account No. ___________, ABA Routing No. ______, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., New York, New York 10004, for the account of Landlord with credits to Baseline Opportunity, LLC-CL, or such other ACH credit account for Landlord which Landlord may designate in writing to Tenant upon not less than twenty (20) days prior notice.
(E) Return-on-Cost Rent shall mean the amount, estimated by Landlord as of the Commencement Date, and determined by Landlord as of the Determination Date (as hereinafter defined), equal to the product of (a) the total of all Project Costs (as defined in Exhibit D), and (b) 0.0575.
(F) Shell Rent shall mean an amount calculated on the lower of the following: (1) $0.4175 per square foot of the Building per month; or (2) Return-on-Cost Rent. The Shell Rent shall be determined upon the date (the Determination Date) that (aa) the Landlord Improvements have been Substantially Completed and (bb) the final Project Costs (as defined in Exhibit D) have been determined and reconciled (as provided in Section 11(c) of Exhibit D)). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Shell Rent formula takes into account the Base Improvement Allowance being provided by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with Section 2 of Exhibit D.
(G) TI Rent shall mean an amount to be reimbursed to Landlord for costs of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Exhibit D) in excess of the Base Improvement Allowance (as defined in Exhibit D), comprised of the Capitalized TI Rent and the Amortized TI Rent.
b) | Additional Rent. All charges, costs and amounts payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord or on behalf of Landlord other than Base Rent including but not limited to: (i) Real Property Taxes (See Section 4.02); (ii) Utilities (only to the extent not billed directly to Tenant; See Section 4.03); (iii) Landlords Insurance Policies (See Section 4.04); |
6
(iv) Impounds for Property Insurance Premiums (See Section 4.04) and Real Property Taxes (See Section 4.07); (v) Management Fees (See Section 4.08); and (vi) Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations (See Section 6.03) are called Additional Rent. Unless this Lease provides otherwise, commencing upon the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay the Additional Rent then due on the Commencement Date, and thereafter on the first of each month during the Lease Term. |

ARTICLE TWO: LEASE TERM.
Section 2.01. Lease of Premises for Lease Term. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord for the Lease Term. The Lease Term is for the period stated in Section 1.02 above and shall begin and end on the dates specified in Section 1.02 above, unless the beginning or end of the Lease Term is changed under any provision of this Lease.
Section 2.02. Intentionally Deleted.
Section 2.03. Delay in Commencement. Subject to Tenants Early Access rights, Landlord will deliver the Premises to Tenant upon Substantial Completion. Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to achieve Substantial Completion on or before November 1, 2017, (the Target Delivery Date) subject to (i) Force Majeure (pursuant to Section 13.13), and (ii) Tenant Delays (as defined in Exhibit D). Each day of delay due to conditions in this Section 2.03 shall extend the
7
Target Delivery Date by one (1) day. Landlords failure to achieve Substantial Completion by the Target Delivery Date shall not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease except that the Commencement Date and Base Rent Commencement Date shall be extended for a period equal to the delay (excluding, however, Tenant Delays) in Landlords achievement of Substantial Completion beyond the Target Delivery Date. If Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements to the Premises by the date that is thirty (30) days after the Target Delivery Date, then the Tenant shall receive one (1) day per diem credit against the Shell Rent for each day of delay for the period from thirty-one (31) days through ninety (90) days following the Target Delivery Date until such time as Landlord has achieved Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements for Premises. If Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements for the Premises has not been achieved after ninety (90) days following the Target Delivery Date, the Tenant shall receive two (2) days per diem credit against the Shell Rent for each day of delay until such time as Landlord has achieved Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements for the Premises. To the extent Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements to the Premises by the date which is twelve (12) months after the Target Delivery Date, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, exercisable by the delivery of written notice to the other (a Termination Notice), which Termination Notice shall be delivered on or before the first day of the twelfth (12th) month after the Target Delivery Date and effective as of the first day of the thirteenth (13th) month after the Target Delivery Date (the Termination Effective Date); provided, however, Landlord shall have the right to rescind a Termination Notice from Tenant if Landlord (1) delivers a written notice to Tenant committing to achieve Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements to the Premises on or before the Termination Effective Date and (2) actually achieves Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements to the Premises on or before the Termination Effective Date. To the extent terminated pursuant to a Termination Notice which is not rescinded by Landlord, this Lease shall terminate on the Termination Effective Date and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Lease, except to the extent such rights and obligations expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with at least fifteen (15) calendar days advance notice (which may be in the form of electronic mail) of the date that Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements to the Premises is anticipated to occur. Upon Landlords delivery of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an acknowledgment form setting forth the actual Commencement Date and the Base Rent Commencement Date. Failure to execute such acknowledgment shall not affect the actual Commencement Date or actual Base Rent Commencement Date.
Section 2.04. Early Access. Landlord shall allow Tenant early access to the Premises approximately but no less than three (3) months prior to the Target Delivery Date subject to Force Majeure and Tenant Delays (Early Access), provided that all of the following have occurred: (i) this Lease is fully executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant; (ii) Tenant has deposited with Landlord both Installments of the Security Deposit pursuant to Section 1.07; and (iii) Tenant has delivered to Landlord certificates evidencing all insurance required to be carried by
8
Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall also provide evidence to Landlord of similar insurance coverage for any and all of Tenants vendors and/or contractors. The purpose of Tenants Early Access is solely for the installation of Tenants equipment, including but not limited to, installation of racking, IT cabling and equipment, diesel generator, radio frequency network, wired guidance system, security system, wide area network connection and similar equipment; provided, however, the listing of such equipment in this Section shall not be deemed or construed as Landlords approval of the same, and such approval shall be subject to the provisions and conditions set forth elsewhere in this Lease. During the last thirty (30) days of the Early Access period, Tenant may begin storing product in the Building, provided that such storage does not interfere with the timely Substantial Completion and is in compliance with any requirements of any governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Premises; provided, further, nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed as allowing Tenant to use and occupy the Premises for the conduct of its business during the Early Access. Tenants Early Access to the Premises shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease except for the payment of monthly Rent. However, Early Access of the Premises shall not advance the expiration date of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with each other during the Early Access to minimize interference with the others activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall ensure that Tenants Early Access does not unreasonably interfere with the work of Landlord or its contractors and in the event of any interference which threatens to delay Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements to the Premises, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such interfering activities, and if such interference is not ceased within twenty-four (24) hours of such notice, such interference shall be deemed a Tenant Delay. Any materials of Tenant or Tenants agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees (collectively, Tenant Parties and individually, a Tenant Party) stored in the Premises during such Early Access period shall be at Tenants sole risk and Landlord will have no obligation to secure the Premises during the Early Access period. Tenant shall access the Premises during the period of Early Access at Tenants sole risk. Landlord shall not be liable for any destruction, theft, vandalism or any other damage to any personal property placed, kept or stored by or on behalf of Tenant or permitted to be placed, kept or stored by Tenant during any Early Access period. The Early Access period shall end upon the occurrence of the Commencement Date, at which time Tenant shall have possession of the Premises for the Permitted Use subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Lease, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, fifty-two (52) weeks per year during the Term of this Lease. Tenant may not operate out of the Premises until Tenant has obtained any applicable business licenses and a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy permitting Tenants use of the Premises for the Permitted Use; Landlord shall, at no cost or expense to Landlord, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in connection with Tenants efforts to obtain such certificate of occupancy.
Section 2.05. Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Premises upon the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease in the condition required under Section 6.06. If the Tenant holds over after expiration of the Lease Term, Extension Term(s), or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall
9
pay Rent to Landlord monthly for the first month of such hold over in an amount equal to the Additional Rent and Shell Rent at a rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Shell Rent in effect as of the month immediately preceding such hold over for the first four (4) months, and thereafter Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord monthly starting on the fifth (5th) month of such hold over in an amount equal to the Additional Rent and Shell Rent at a rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Shell Rent in effect as of the month immediately preceding such hold over, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and defend and indemnify Landlord against all Claims (as hereinafter defined) which Landlord incurs from Tenants delay in vacating the Premises on or before the date which is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, Extension Term(s), or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with Applicable Laws. If Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of the Lease in accordance with the terms of this Lease and Landlord thereafter accepts Rent from Tenant, Tenants occupancy of the Premises shall be a month to month tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease, other than the payment of Base Rent, which shall be paid on a monthly basis as set forth above, and Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease and Tenants right to occupy the Premises on thirty (30) days written notice. Acceptance by Landlord of any Rent after such expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall not constitute a consent to a hold over hereunder or result in a renewal of the Lease or any lease and nothing in this Section 2.05 shall limit or restrict Landlord from pursuing any remedies against Tenant for failure to timely vacate the Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall also be responsible to pay Additional Rent during the hold over period.
ARTICLE THREE: BASE RENT.
Section 3.01. Time and Manner of Payment. On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Base Rent in the amount stated in Section 1.09(a) (as amended from time to time) above for the third (3rd) month of the Lease Term. On the first day of the fourth (4th) month of the Lease Term and each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Base Rent, in advance, without offset, deduction or prior demand, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Rent shall be payable at Landlords address set forth in Section 13.06, or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease and notwithstanding any Claims that Tenant may have against Landlord, Tenants obligation to timely pay Rent is a covenant independent from any of Landlords obligations in this Lease.
Section 3.02. Security Deposit; Increases. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the first Installment of the Security Deposit as set forth in Section 1.07 above. On or before the earlier of the Commencement Date or the commencement of Tenants Early Access under Section 2.04, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the second Installment of the Security Deposit as set forth in Section 1.07 above. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and the continuance of such Event of Default after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 10.02), then Landlord shall retain and apply such Security Deposit to Landlords damages caused by Tenants default. Landlord may
10
apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other defaults of Tenant remaining after any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 10.02. If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit to cure a Tenant default and except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within thirty (30) days after Landlords written request. Tenants failure to do so shall be an Event of Default under this Lease. No interest shall be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit.
The Security Deposit, whether in the form of cash, Letter of Credit and/or Letter of Credit Proceeds (as defined below), shall not be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any kind, or a measure of Landlords damages with respect to Tenants failure to perform, nor shall any action or inaction of Landlord with respect to it or its use or application be a waiver of, or bar or defense to, enforcement of any right or remedy of Landlord.
As used herein, Letter of Credit shall mean up to two (2) unconditional, irrevocable sight draft letters of credit: (A) issued, presentable and payable at a bank (the Bank) that is either (i) the office of a major national bank satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and presentable in a location satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion, or (ii) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Chase), presentable via facsimile and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1; (B) naming Landlord as beneficiary, and (C) in an amount equal in the aggregate to Seven Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Thirteen and 08/100ths Dollars ($788,513.08). The Letter of Credit shall be in either (1) the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, or (2) if Chase is serving as the Bank, the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1. The Letter of Credit shall provide: (i) that Landlord may make partial and multiple draws thereunder, up to the face amount thereof, and that Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit up to the full amount thereof, as determined by Landlord, and the Bank will pay to Landlord the amount of such draw upon receipt by the Bank of a sight draft signed by Landlord without requirement for any additional documents or statements by Landlord; and (ii) that, in the event of assignment or other transfer of either Landlords interest in this Lease or of any interest in Landlord (including, without limitation, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations or other entity changes), the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, without charge and without recourse, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and the Bank shall confirm the same to Landlord and such assignee or transferee. In the event that such a transfer is required, but the Bank issuing the Letter of Credit will not provide a transfer form that is acceptable to Landlord, in Landlords sole discretion, then Tenant shall, promptly after receipt of notice from Landlord that Landlord cannot obtain an acceptable transfer form, either (x) replace such Letter of Credit with cash in an equal amount thereto, or (y) provide a replacement Letter of Credit from another Bank in the form required by this Section 3.02 and includes a transfer form that is acceptable to Landlord, in Landlords sole discretion (provided that the transfer form attached to Exhibit G is hereby approved by Landlord). For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord hereby reserves the right to review and approve the transfer form for the Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, the transfer form for any Letter of Credit issued by
11
Chase. Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw upon the Letter of Credit and use the proceeds therefrom (the Letter of Credit Proceeds) or any portion thereof in any manner Landlord is permitted to use the Security Deposit under this Section 3.02. In the event Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit and elects not to terminate the Lease, but to use the Letter of Credit Proceeds, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice specifying the amount of the Letter of Credit Proceeds so utilized by Landlord, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-required amount of the Letter of Credit. Tenants failure to deliver such amendment or replacement of the Letter of Credit to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlords notice shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall have an initial term of no longer than one (1) year, shall be evergreen, and shall be extended, reissued or replaced by Tenant, in each case at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration in a manner that fully complies with the requirements of this Section 3.02, so that in all events the Letter of Credit required hereunder shall be in full force and effect continuously until the date (the L/C Expiration Date) for return of the Security Deposit described in Section 1.07 above. No more often than once per year, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to deliver to Landlord, on fifteen (15) days prior notice, a replacement Letter of Credit on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.02, in the event that Landlord determines, in its good faith judgment, that the issuing Bank is no longer satisfactory to remain as the issuer of the Letter of Credit. Any advice from the issuer that it intends to withdraw or not extend the Letter of Credit prior to any scheduled annual expiration or the L/C Expiration Date shall entitle the Landlord to immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Tenant is entitled to receive the return of or credit against Rent in the Reduction Amount in accordance with Section 1.07, if the Security Deposit is then held by Landlord in the form of a Letter of Credit, an additional condition to such return of or credit against Rent is that Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord an acceptable (pursuant to this Section 3.02) substitute Letter of Credit or amendment to the existing Letter of Credit in such appropriately reduced amount. Landlord agrees, in the instance of such substitute Letter of Credit, to surrender the replaced Letter of Credit promptly after receipt of the substitute.
Section 3.03. Termination; Advance Payments. Within thirty (30) days after expiration of the Lease Term or an earlier termination of this Lease that does not arise from Tenants default, provided Tenant has vacated the Premises as required by this Lease, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit in accordance with Section 3.02 above, any unapplied advance Rent or other advance payments made by Tenant to Landlord, and any amounts paid for Real Property Taxes and other reserves which apply to any time periods after termination of the Lease, subject to any off-set for any Tenant obligation to reimburse Landlord for costs which are unpaid.

Section 4.02. Property Taxes.
a) | Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all Real Property Taxes (as defined below) imposed on the Premises (including without limitation imposed on any improvements installed on the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant) during the Lease Term. |
b) | Definition of Real Property Tax. Real Property Tax means all real property taxes, assessments and similar charges in connection with the Premises, including, without limitation: (i) any fee, license fee, license tax, business license fee, excise tax, commercial rental tax, levy charge, assessment, interest or tax imposed by any taxing authority against the Premises; (ii) any tax or charge for fire protection, streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or other services provided to the Premises by any governmental agency; (iii) any real estate tax imposed upon this transaction or based upon a re-assessment of the Premises due to a change of ownership, as defined by applicable law; (iv) any tax or charge for a local improvement district; and (v) any charge or fee replacing any tax previously included within the definition of Real Property Tax. Real Property Tax does not, however, include Landlords federal or state income taxes and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlords general or net income, gross receipts tax or other tax which are based upon receipts with respect to the Rent received, all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, inheritance or succession taxes (applicable to individuals), estate taxes (applicable to individuals), excise or other similar taxes. |
c) | Assessment; Supplemental Assessments. On or before the Commencement Date, the Premises will be separately assessed, however, the Premises may be comprised of more than one tax assessor parcel. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Premises will be re-assessed in connection with the completion of the Landlord Improvements and the Tenant Improvements and that supplement tax bills may be received in connection with such re-assessment. Landlord shall reasonably determine the Real Property Tax attributable to the Premises from the assessors worksheets or other reasonably available information and Landlord shall provide such determination to Tenant in a written notice with reasonable backup documentation. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of any Tenant concerns with such determination within ten (10) days of receipt of such determination. Landlord and Tenant shall meet and confer promptly following notice thereof and shall use |
13
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve reasonable concerns raised by Tenant with respect to such determination. Upon receipt of any actual tax bill covering only the Premises, and/or any supplemental tax bills, such actual tax bill and/or supplemental tax bills shall set forth the amount of Real Property Tax and the Landlord and Tenant shall true-up any over or under payment within thirty (30) days of Landlords notice to Tenant with each actual tax bill and/or supplemental tax bill. |
d) | Personal Property Taxes. |
(i) | Tenant shall pay all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property located on the Premises prior to the same becoming delinquent and shall deliver to Landlord written evidence of such payment upon written request for the same. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have its personal property taxed separately from the Premises. |
(ii) | If any of Tenants personal property is taxed with the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for Tenants personal property within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes accompanied with a copy of the applicable tax bill. |
e) | Right to Contest Taxes. Except as otherwise expressly provided below, only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce the assessed valuation of the Premises or to contest the imposition of Real Property Taxes, and the continuation of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlords prior written consent or as otherwise provided below for more than twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. To the extent Landlord desires, in Landlords reasonable business judgment, to contest the imposition of the Real Property Taxes, Landlord shall proceed with such protest in accordance with applicable law. In the event Landlord elects not to contest the imposition of taxes, Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord and at Tenants sole cost and expense, contest the imposition of the Real Property Taxes, and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at no out-of-pocket cost or expense to Landlord, to cooperate with Tenant in the proceedings related to any such contest as reasonably requested by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve the party Tenant engages to contest the imposition of the Real Property Taxes. In the event Landlord is required to expend any funds as part of Tenants contest of the Real Property Taxes, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such actual reasonable costs and expenses within thirty (30) days of delivery to Tenant of invoice therefor. |
14
Section 4.03. Utilities. Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate utility provider (or to Landlord for services not billed directly to Tenant), the actual cost of all natural gas, electric, heat, light, power, sewer service, telephone, water, snow removal, refuse disposal and all other utilities and services supplied to the Premises. In the event that there is an interruption or failure of utilities serving the Premises caused by Landlords gross negligence or willful misconduct, and such interruption or failure continues for more than five (5) consecutive days, then to the extent the payment of Rent to Landlord is not covered by the insurance that Tenant is obligated to maintain pursuant to this Lease (other than as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Party), to the extent rental interruption proceeds are available under the insurance that Landlord is obligated to maintain under this Lease, the Base Rent shall be abated beginning on the sixth (6th) consecutive day of such interruption and ending on the day such service is restored.
Section 4.04. Insurance Policies.
a) | Liability Insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance insuring Tenant and the Premises against liability for bodily injury, property damage (including without limitation loss of use of property other than property owned by or in the care, custody or control of Tenant) and personal injury arising out of the operation, use or occupancy of the Premises. The general liability policy shall be on an occurrence form. Tenant shall name Landlord, and Landlords property manager, Landlords lender and any other party requested by Landlord in writing that is usual and customary in industrial real estate leases for buildings similar to the Premises (Landlord Insureds), as additional insureds under such policy. The initial coverage amount of such insurance shall be FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate and shall be subject to periodic increase based upon inflation and the commercially reasonable recommendations of Landlords professional insurance advisers. Tenant may use a combination of primary and umbrella policies to achieve the limits listed above. The liability insurance obtained by Tenant under this Section 4.04(a) shall: (i) be primary and non-contributory to any insurance carried by Landlord; (ii) contain severability of interests endorsements, (iii) contain cross-liability endorsements; and (iv) insure Landlord against Tenants performance under Section 5.05, if the matters giving rise to the indemnity under Section 5.05 result from the negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Party. Landlords insurance shall be excess and non-contributory with respect to Tenants insurance. The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not limit Tenants liability nor relieve Tenant of any other obligations under this Lease. |
15
b) | Property and Rental Income Insurance. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain all-risk policies of insurance covering loss of or damage to the Premises in the full amount of the replacement value including the Landlord Improvements and Additional Tenant Improvements. Such policy shall provide protection against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk including earthquake), sprinkler leakage and any other perils which Landlord deems reasonably necessary or which are required by Landlords lender. Landlord may also, in Landlords sole and absolute discretion, obtain comprehensive general liability insurance and pollution legal liability insurance in an amount and with coverage to be determined by Landlord insuring Landlord against liability arising out of the ownership, operation or use of the Premises by Landlord during the Lease Term. Except as provided herein, the policy obtained by Landlord shall not be contributory and shall not provide primary insurance. Landlord shall not obtain insurance for Tenants fixtures or equipment or building improvements installed by or on behalf of Tenant in or on the Premises after the Commencement Date. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall also maintain business interruption coverage, with loss payable to Landlord, in an amount equal to one (1) years Base Rent, plus estimated Real Property Taxes and Property Insurance Premiums (hereinafter defined). If Landlord obtains blanket insurance policies covering other properties in addition to the Premises, Landlord shall equitably allocate the cost of such blanket policies amongst the properties covered, and only the cost allocated to the Premises shall be included under this Lease. Tenant, at its own expense, also shall maintain during the Lease Term, fire and extended coverage property insurance covering (i) the replacement cost of all alterations, additions, partitions and improvements installed or placed on or around the Premises, or on the Land, for the benefit of Tenant not covered by the insurance to be obtained by Landlord herein, and (ii) the full replacement cost of all personal property contained within the Premises or the Land and (iii) business interruption insurance (collectively, Tenants Property Insurance). Tenants Property Insurance shall provide protection against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk including earthquake), sprinkler leakage and any other perils which Tenant deems reasonably necessary. Tenant shall also carry at all times Workers Compensation insurance as required by applicable law. |
c) | Pollution Legal Liability Insurance. If Tenant shall store, use, or otherwise manage any Hazardous Materials at the Premises (other than the Hazardous Materials identified on Exhibit I attached hereto in the quantities set forth on Exhibit I), Tenant, at Landlords request, shall maintain pollution legal liability insurance insuring Tenant against liability for bodily injury, property damage (including loss of use of property), legal defense and remediation, and personal injury arising out of the operation, |
16
use or occupancy of the Premises. The pollution legal liability insurance shall be in an initial amount of not less than FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate. Tenant shall name Landlord, and the Landlord Insureds, as additional insureds under such policy. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed or construed as limiting Tenants obligations under Section 5.03 below. |
d) | Payment of Premiums. Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all premiums for Landlords insurance policies (Property Insurance Premiums) as in this Section 4.04 as Additional Rent, and Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all premiums for Tenants insurance policies described in this Section 4.04. If insurance policies maintained by Landlord cover improvements on real property other than the Premises, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the premium applicable to the Premises showing in reasonable detail how Tenants share of the premium was computed. Before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of certificate of insurance for any policy of insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Section 4.04, together with a copy of the declarations page from such policy and a copy of the additional insureds certificate required hereunder. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal of such policy. |
e) | General Insurance Provisions. |
(i) | Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord and to each of the Landlord Insureds within ten (10) business days of the date Tenant first becomes aware of (i) the cancellation or expiration of any policy required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, or (ii) written overt threat but not including notices of rate increases and other correspondence in the normal course of negotiating a renewal resulting in any cancellation or expiration thereof, whichever comes first. |
(ii) | If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord a policy or renewal required under this Lease within the prescribed time period or if any such policy is cancelled or modified during the Lease Term without Landlords consent, Landlord may obtain such insurance, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Tenant and Tenant shall have the opportunity to cure such failure within ten (10) days of such written notice. In the event Tenant has not cured such failure within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may obtain such insurance, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such insurance within thirty (30) days after receipt of a statement that indicates the cost of such insurance. |
17
(iii) | Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease with companies holding a General Policy Rating of A-, VIII, or better, as set forth in the most current issue of Best Key Rating Guide. Landlord and Tenant make no representation as to the adequacy of such insurance to protect Landlords or Tenants interests. Therefore, each party may obtain any such additional property or liability insurance which each deems necessary to protect its interests. |
(iv) | Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.05, Landlord and Tenant each hereby release each other and their respective agents and employees, from responsibility and liability for and waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the members, managers, officers, employees, agents or representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to its property, if such loss or damage is covered by any insurance policy in force (whether or not described in this Lease) or required to be carried by each of them at the time of such loss or damage. Upon obtaining the required policies of insurance, each party shall provide notice to the insurance carrier or carriers of this mutual waiver, as required by such policies, and shall cause its respective insurance carriers to waive all rights of subrogation against the other. |
(v) | If a loss covered by insurance is incurred, Tenant shall be liable for the payment of any deductible amount under Tenants insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.04 and up to TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($25,000.00) PER OCCURRENCE of any deductible under Landlords policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.04. The deductible amount for Tenants policies shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) PER OCCURRENCE or the greater of either five percent (5%) of the total insured value or the then current insurance industry standard for earth movement coverage. Tenant shall not knowingly or intentionally do or permit anything to be done which invalidates any such insurance policies. |
Section 4.05. Late Charges. Tenants failure to pay Rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease for, or mortgage or trust deed encumbering,
18
the Premises. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any Rent payment within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount as Additional Rent, but in no event in an amount less than $500.00 or greater than $5,000.00. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.
Section 4.06. Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Reference Rate (as hereinafter defined) from the due date of such amount until paid in full. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. For purposes of this Lease, the Reference Rate shall mean the rate that is the greater of (1) seven percent (7%) per annum, and (2) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (or if the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a prime rate, then from a similar publication) as of the date such interest commenced to accrue plus three and one half percent (3.50%). If the interest rate specified in this Section 4.06 is higher than the rate permitted by applicable law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by Applicable Law.
Section 4.07. Impounds for Insurance Premiums, Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Property Insurance Premiums and Real Property Taxes payable by Tenant under this Lease, together with each payment of Base Rent. Landlord shall hold such payments in a non-interest bearing impound account. If unknown, Landlord shall reasonably estimate the amount of Property Insurance Premiums and Real Property Taxes in advance. Tenant shall pay any deficiency of funds in the impound account to Landlord within thirty (30) days of delivery of a written request.
Section 4.08. Management Fees. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord monthly for management fees and expenses, including without limitation property management accounting fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with the Premises, which shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the monthly gross receipts (all monies received by Landlord and/or property manager from Tenant other than the Real Property Tax) plus Seven Hundred Fifty and 00/ 100 Dollars ($750.00) per month for accounting services (Management Fees).
ARTICLE FIVE: USE OF PREMISES.
Section 5.01. Permitted Uses. Tenant may use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses set forth in Section 1.03 above.
Section 5.02. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date in compliance with any applicable statute, law, including without limitation all environmental laws, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, the Comprehensive Environmental
19
Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and any similar state statute, as may be amended (ADA), code, ordinance, rule or regulation, matter of record, or governmental regulation or order (collectively, the Applicable Laws), and the title matters set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto (the Title Matters), except that Tenant shall obtain and pay for all Tenant Permits (as defined in Exhibit D), and for Additional Tenant Improvements (i.e., not included in the Landlord Improvements), and Tenant shall comply with all Applicable Laws and ADA requirements related thereto. Subject to Landlords obligations herein, Tenant shall comply with all Applicable Laws and Title Matters and shall promptly take all actions necessary to comply with Applicable Laws or Title Matters. Tenants city-approved commodity and/or specific use of the Premises may require specific costs and/or work to be performed related to certain items, such as, but not limited to, emergency egress lighting, hose racks, in-rack sprinklers or any other fire and/or life safety requirements. Any and all such costs and work to be performed related thereto shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and at Tenants sole cost and expense; provided, however, initial installation costs incurred prior to the Commencement Date may be paid from the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in Exhibit D) to the extent otherwise available.
Section 5.03. Hazardous Materials.
a) | As used in this Lease, the term Hazardous Material or Hazardous Substance means any flammable, explosive, radioactive, hazardous or toxic substances, material or waste or related materials, including without limitation any substances defined as or included in the definition of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, hazardous materials or toxic substances now or subsequently regulated under any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, including, without limitation petroleum-based products, paints, solvents, lead, cyanide, DDT, printing inks, acids, pesticides, ammonia compounds and other chemical products, asbestos, PCBs and similar compounds, and including without limitation any different products and materials which are subsequently found to have adverse effects on the environment or the health and safety of persons. Except as expressly permitted by Landlord in writing under this Lease, Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be generated, produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated, released, or disposed of in or about the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. Landlord shall be entitled to take into account such factors or facts as Landlord may in its good faith business judgment determine to be relevant in determining whether to grant or withhold consent to Tenants proposed activity with respect to Hazardous Material. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be required to consent to the installation or use of any storage tanks on the Premises; provided, however, Landlord |
20
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenants use of, and the proper storage of small quantities of materials specifically identified in writing by Tenant which are customarily used in the ordinary course of operating warehouse and distribution facilities (collectively, the Specified Materials). Landlord hereby expressly consents to the use of the Specified Materials identified on Exhibit I attached hereto in the amounts set forth in Exhibit I so long as such Specified Materials are used, stored, and disposed of in accordance with all Applicable Laws and the Title Matters. Prior to any storage, use or presence at the Premises of Hazardous Materials not identified in Exhibit I and/or increase in amounts of Specified Materials set forth in Exhibit I, Tenant shall provide to Landlord in writing for Landlords approval a list of any other materials and products (including the Specified Materials) to be stored, used, or otherwise managed at the Premises that may be considered Hazardous Materials and not identified on Exhibit I, and will in any event use, store and dispose of such materials and products in accordance with all Applicable Laws and the Title Matters. If required by Applicable Laws, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a copy of any Hazardous Materials Management or Business Plan to be filed, and upon any update or refiling of the same. The foregoing shall not, however, be deemed to limit or restrict any requirement for Landlords consent as otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant shall maintain all records required by Applicable Laws and as necessary to document that the facilities and equipment on the Premises are being operated in compliance with all the requirements of Applicable Laws and Title Matters and will provide Landlord with copies of such records promptly following a written request therefor. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord a copy of any notice of violation of any Applicable Law issued to Tenant and relating to the Premises. |
b) | As required during the Term of this Lease and prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or earlier surrender of the Premises, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all Hazardous Materials that Tenant or any Tenant Party stored, disposed of, or released (except and to the extent caused or exacerbated by Landlord or its agents, employees, contractors or licensees (each, a Landlord Party and collectively, the Landlord Parties) or existing prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date or Early Access of the Premises by Tenant) onto or from the Premises, in a manner that (i) complies with all Applicable Laws and the Title Matters; (ii) does not require the recording of any deed restriction or notice regarding the Premises; and (iii) may be reasonably necessary to restore the Premises to the condition that existed prior to the Commencement Date or Early Access to the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Tenant |
21
shall perform such work at any time during the Lease Term upon reasonable written request by Landlord or, in the absence of a specific request by Landlord, as and when required by Applicable Law but in any event before Tenants right to possession of the Premises terminates or expires (whichever is earlier). If Tenant fails to perform such work within a mutually agreed and reasonable time period following a written request by Landlord or before Tenants right to possession terminates or expires (whichever is earlier), such failure shall be an Event of Default, and Landlord may at its discretion, and without waiving any other remedy available under this Lease or at law or equity (including without limitation an action to compel Tenant to perform such work), perform such work and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all such reasonable costs incurred by Landlord within thirty (30) days of delivery of an invoice therefor and such obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. |
c) | Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises (in each case at Landlords sole cost and expense unless a violation is discovered for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs in connection with such tests and inspections) reasonably necessary to determine Tenants compliance with Applicable Laws, its obligations under this Section 5.03, and/or the environmental condition of the Premises. Such access by Landlord shall be upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of an emergency) to Tenant and shall be subject to Tenants reasonable safety and security requirements. Landlords action, inspections and tests hereunder shall be performed in a commercially reasonable manner and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not interfere with Tenants operations. |
d) | If Tenant or the Premises is in violation of any Applicable Law concerning the presence, release, disposal, or use of Hazardous Substances or the handling or storing of Hazardous Substances by Tenant or any Tenant Party, Tenant shall promptly engage in (i) such required management as is necessary to immediately correct the violation and to comply with Applicable Law; and (ii) incorporate such additional protocols as Landlord may require in its good faith business judgment. If Tenant does not act in a prudent and timely manner as set forth in this Lease, such failure shall be an Event of Default, and Landlord reserves the right, but shall not have any obligation, to come onto the Premises after expiration of applicable notice and cure periods (except in the event of an emergency), to act in place of Tenant and to take such action as Landlord deems necessary to mitigate and/or correct the |
22
violation to comply with Applicable Law. If Landlord has a reasonable belief that Tenant is in violation of any Applicable Law with regard to Hazardous Materials or that Tenants actions or inactions are likely to present a threat of violation of any Applicable Law with regard to Hazardous Materials, Landlord reserves the right, but without obligation, after providing Tenant written notice and an opportunity to cure (except in the event of an emergency), to enter onto the Premises and take such corrective or mitigating action as Landlord deems necessary in connection with such violation or potential violation. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such actions under this Section 5.03(d) shall become due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after presentation of a proper invoice therefor. |
e) | Landlord agrees that if any Hazardous Materials are released, discharged or disposed of by Landlord or Landlord Parties, on or about the Premises, in violation of Applicable Law, or if any Hazardous Materials exist at the Premises (and were not caused by, or introduced or exacerbated by Tenant or any Tenant Party), Landlord shall promptly, if required by order of the applicable regulatory or governmental authority, take all actions that are commercially reasonable to cleanup and remove such Hazardous Materials from the Premises as required by such regulatory or governmental authority to comply with Applicable Laws at no expense to Tenant. Landlord shall be responsible for and shall protect, defend, indemnify, and hold Tenant or Tenant Parties harmless from and against any and all Claims, which arise during or after the Lease Term, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, that arise during or after the Lease Term in whole or in part, foreseeable or unforeseeable, directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the presence, use, generation, manufacture, treatment, handling, refining, production, processing, storage, or release of Hazardous Materials, or the presence of Hazardous Materials existing as of the Commencement Date, in, on, under or about the Premises except to the extent that such Hazardous Materials conditions are caused by, or introduced or exacerbated by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Landlords maximum liability for any and all indemnity, defense, protection, and hold harmless obligations hereunder shall be capped at Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for the Lease Term (including any Extension Term(s)). |
f) | Prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord has made available for Tenants inspection all information, environmental site assessments and reports in Landlords possession regarding the environmental condition of the Property |
23
identified on Exhibit J attached hereto, including but not limited to, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment dated July 14, 2015, performed by Cardno ATC in accordance with current ASTM standards (the Existing Reports). By Tenants execution and delivery of this Lease, subject to Landlords obligation under this Section 5.03(f) Tenant hereby approves and accepts the Premises subject to the conditions disclosed by the Existing Reports. Tenant shall not be responsible for any Hazardous Substances (or any monitoring, removal or remediation costs in connection therewith) which exist at the Premises prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date or the commencement of Tenants Early Access (Pre-Existing Conditions) except to the extent exacerbated by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements with respect to the Premises imposed by governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Pre-Existing Conditions and/or to pursue responsible parties in connection with the monitoring, removal or remediation of such Pre-Existing Conditions. During the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not release, discharge, or dispose of any Hazardous Substances at the Premises in violation of Applicable Laws. Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that to the extent Landlord breaches the foregoing covenant, Tenant shall not be responsible for, and is hereby released from any liability associated therewith except to the extent Tenant or any Tenant Parties exacerbate such release, discharge or disposal of such Hazardous Substances at the Premises. |
Section 5.04. Signs and Auctions. Tenant shall not place any signs on the exterior of the Premises (except as set forth below) without Landlords prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenants signage shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord, including without limitation as to size, content, shape, and location. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any auctions or sheriffs sales at the Premises. All signage will be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, and Tenant shall first obtain all required permits and approvals by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction (other than permits and approvals for roof mounted signage, which shall be handled by Landlord as set forth below). Landlord shall provide Tenant a copy of Landlords sign program (if any). Tenant shall ensure that any such signage shall also be in accordance with any Title Matters, Landlords sign program (if any), and applicable governmental requirements. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs in connection with Tenants signage, including without limitation, design, installation, maintenance, repair, and removal. Tenant shall maintain all such signage (other than any roof mounted signage) in good condition and repair and shall remove all such signage at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal and restore Building surfaces to match other existing Building surfaces, all at Tenants sole cost and expense. Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall be permitted to place signage on
24
the exterior of Building (excluding, however, the roof of the Building) and install monument signage, subject to Landlords sign programs (if any), and the conditions set forth above. So long as any roof warranties are not adversely impacted thereby, Tenant may request the installation of roof mounted signage, which shall be subject to Landlords prior written consent (not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, such installation, repair, restoration and removal (all subject to a four percent (4.0%) administrative fee) and maintenance of such signage shall be performed by Landlord and/or its contractors at Tenants sole cost and expense as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such four percent (4%) administrative fee shall not apply with respect to any installation of signage as part of the Landlord Improvements constructed prior to Commencement Date, and in lieu thereof, the fees set forth in Exhibit D shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby consents to the installation of Tenants sign depicted on Exhibit K attached hereto at the location identified on such Exhibit.
Section 5.05. Indemnity.
a) | Except to the extent of Landlords gross negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, costs, damages, demands, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees, consultants and experts fees and court costs), fines, liabilities, liens, losses, penalties, obligations and suits (collectively, Claims) arising out of or in connection with: (i) the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party (including, without limitation, any use or occupancy of the Premises during the Early Access period); or (ii) the conduct of Tenants business or anything else done or permitted by Tenant to be done in or about the Premises, including without limitation any contamination of the Premises other than caused by Landlord or any Landlord Party; (iii) any breach or default in the performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease; (iv) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Tenant under this Lease; (v) any damage to the Landlord Improvements caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party during the construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements or during the Early Access period; and (vi) any other negligent or willful acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Party. Tenant shall defend Landlord against any such Claims at Tenants expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord or, at Landlords election, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable legal fees or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any such Claims. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Tenant assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises arising from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all Claims in respect thereof against Landlord, except for any Claims arising out of Landlords gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. |

Landlord shall perform items under Section 6.03(a)(i) and (iii) at Landlords sole cost and expense; provided, however, to the extent such replacement costs for Landlord Structural Elements are necessary as a result of any damage, negligence or misuse thereto by Tenant or any Tenant Party, then Tenant shall be solely responsible to replacement costs. |
27
c) | In performing its obligations under Section 6.03(a), Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence and promptly complete the same with diligence, in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with Applicable Laws and Title Matters.

a) | Except as provided in Article Seven (Damage Destruction) and Article Eight (Condemnation), and except for Landlords obligations set forth in Section 6.03 hereof, and except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord (in which case Landlord shall be responsible for such maintenance and repair at its sole cost and expense), Tenant shall keep all portions of the Premises in good order, condition and repair, including without limitation the nonstructural, interior portions of the Premises, tenant improvements, the electrical and plumbing systems and facilities located inside the Building, including within the walls of the Building, all windows, doors, plate glass and interior walls and partitions (including without limitation those surrounding structural columns entirely or partly within the Building), the interior drywall on exterior structural walls; the frames, casements, doors, windows and openings installed in or on the improvements described in the foregoing or that provide entry/exit to/from the Building, all hardware, fixtures, cabinetry, railings, paneling, and finishes in the Premises or that are installed in or on the improvements described in the foregoing, integrated ceiling systems (including without limitation grid, panels and lighting), floor surface, coatings, and coverings, kitchen, rest room, laboratory or other similar facilities that exclusively serve the Premises (including without limitation plumbing fixtures, toilets, sinks and built-in |

If any portion of the Premises or any system or equipment in the Premises which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired or restored as reasonably determined by Landlord after written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall promptly replace such portion of the Premises or system or equipment in the Premises, regardless of whether the useful life of such replacement extends beyond the Lease Term, and Landlord shall initial pay the costs of such replacement; provided, however, Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant in accordance with the provisions below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any item to be replaced by Tenant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the cost shall be equitably allocated between Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the following procedure: (i) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate and obtain bids for such replacement, and Landlord shall reasonably approve the bid selected, (ii) Landlord shall reasonably determine the normal useful life of such replaced item (which useful life shall in no event be greater than fifteen (15) years, and is hereinafter referred to as the Amortization Period), (iii) once the replacement is completed, Landlord shall determine the total replacement cost (including interest at the Reference Rate) and such cost shall be divided over the Amortization Period to calculate the annual cost of such replacement, and (iv) once the annual cost is determined, the annual cost shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant based upon the then existing Lease Term (i.e., including any Extension Term then in effect), Tenant shall bear the annual cost of such replacement during such Extension Term and Landlord shall be reimbursed for the same as Additional Rent during such Extension Term. Tenant shall maintain throughout the Lease Term a preventative maintenance contract providing for the regular inspection and maintenance of all heating and/or air conditioning systems within the Premises by a licensed heating and air conditioning contractor reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant shall provide a copy of the same to Landlord upon Landlords request. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that at all times Tenant shall maintain the portions of the Premises which Tenant is obligated to maintain in good state of repair and in a fully operative condition. Tenant shall be able to receive the benefit of |
29
the standard general contractors one (1) year building warranty for the Premises and a ten (10) year no dollar limit roof warranty for the Building. |
b) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if any part of the Premises is damaged by any negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant, or any Tenant Party, Tenant shall promptly repair (or if necessary, replace) the same as provided herein. |
c) | Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.04, Tenant shall fulfill all of Tenants obligations under this Section 6.04, at Tenants sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant fails to maintain, repair or replace the Premises as required by this Section 6.04 within a reasonable time given the nature of the specific maintenance, repair or replacement obligation, and such failure creates a condition which poses a material threat of damage to the Premises or a material risk to the health and safety of persons Landlord may, upon ten (10) business days prior notice to Tenant (except that no notice shall be required in the event of an emergency), enter the Premises and perform such maintenance or repair (including replacement, as needed) on behalf of Tenant; provided, however, to the extent, and for so long as Tenant, within five (5) business days from receipt of such notice from Landlord, delivers to Landlord written notice and reasonably satisfactory assurances that Tenant is dealing with such threat and/or risks in a prompt and diligent manner, then Landlord shall refrain from exercising its rights under this Section 6.04, except in the event of an emergency. In such case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all direct and actual costs incurred by Landlord in performing such maintenance, repair or replacement immediately upon demand. |
Section 6.05. Alterations, Additions, and Improvements. Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises (Alterations), without first obtaining on each such occasion Landlords prior written consent (which consent Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay) except for non-structural Alterations which do not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per year of the Lease Term, does not require a permit from the jurisdictions having authority, does not affect the mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems of the Building, and which are not visible from the outside of the Building; provided that Tenant gives Landlord advance notice of such work in each case. As part of its approval process, Landlord may require that Tenant submit plans and specifications to Landlord, for Landlords approval or disapproval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Alterations shall be performed in accordance with all governmental requirements applicable thereto, Applicable Laws and Title Matters and in a good and workmanlike manner and, to the extent such Alterations will remain a part of the Premises after the expiration or
30
earlier termination of this Lease, with materials consistent with the quality of the initial construction of the Landlord Improvements; provided, further, Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Premises caused by the use of any materials of a lesser quality. Before commencing any work in connection with such Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates of insurance from the general contractor or if no general contractor, from all contractors performing labor or furnishing materials insuring Landlord against any and all liabilities which may arise out of or be connected in any way with said Alterations. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing at the time of Landlords consent to such Alterations that Landlords approval is conditioned upon the removal of such Alterations at the expiration or termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, remove the same and repair any damage resulting from such removal of the Alterations. Landlord will specify at the time Landlord approves of any proposed Alteration whether any proposed Alteration must be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and in Section 6.06, all Alterations and all repairs and all other property attached to or installed on the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant shall immediately upon completion or installation thereof be and become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord without payment therefor by Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall remove any Tenant fixtures or equipment, including, without limitation, diesel generators, camera systems, and any other equipment and systems that are not included in the Landlord Improvements, and such removal shall be performed in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Lease.
Tenant shall pay when due all Claims for labor and material furnished to the Premises and keep the Premises free and clear of all liens and encumbrances for work contracted for by Tenant. In the event a lien is filed against the Premises, upon Tenants receipt of notice of any such lien, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice (a) bond against or cause such lien to be released of record from the Premises, or (b) furnish Landlord with a copy of the recorded waiver of such lien, recorded release of such lien, or recorded bond discharging such lien. For any work that could give rise to any mechanics or material suppliers liens under Applicable Law, Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the commencement of any work on the Premises, regardless of whether Landlords consent to such work is required and Landlord may elect to record and post notices of non-responsibility on the Premises.
Section 6.06. Condition upon Termination. Subject to Section 6.05, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and in the same condition as received except for ordinary wear and tear subject to casualty and condemnation except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Party. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove all Alterations for which no Landlord consent was required (other than the Base Improvements) unless Landlord waives such requirement in writing. Tenant may remove any of Tenants machinery or equipment which can be removed without damage to the Premises. Tenant shall repair,
31
at Tenants sole cost and expense, any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of any Alterations or any fixtures, machinery or equipment or other personal property. In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment (which shall be deemed Landlords property) without Landlords prior written consent: any power wiring or power panels except electrical drops; lighting or lighting fixtures except task lighting; wall coverings; drapes, blinds or other window coverings; carpets or other floor coverings; heaters, air conditioners or any other heating or air conditioning equipment; fencing or security gates except inventory fencing; or other similar building operating equipment and decorations. Landlord shall have the right to dispose of any personal property left on the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without any obligation to account to Tenant or any other party therefor. In the event that Tenant fails to put the Premises in the condition required by the terms of this Section 6.06 at such time as this Lease expires or terminates, or if Tenant leaves any personal property on the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform Tenants obligations under this Section 6.06 and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including without limitation removal of Alterations, repair of damage to the Premises, and disposal costs of any personal property left on the Premises, shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant upon demand and such obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The amount due shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 4.06 from the date each item of expense was incurred until paid in full.
Section 6.07. Landlords Representations.
Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that:
a) | As of the Execution Date, there is no pending sale by Landlord of the Premises or any part thereof; |
b) | As of the Execution Date, to Landlords knowledge, except as set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto, there are no Declarations of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) affecting the Premises; |

For purposes of this Lease, the phrase to Landlords knowledge and phases of similar import, shall mean to the actual then present knowledge of Jacob R. LeBlanc as of the date such representation is made.
32
ARTICLE SEVEN: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 7.01. Partial Damage to Premises.
a) | Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises. If the Premises is only partially damaged (i.e., less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises is untenantable as a result of such damage or less than fifty percent (50%) of Tenants operations are materially impaired) and if the proceeds received by Landlord from the property insurance policy described in Section 4.04(b) are sufficient to pay for the necessary repairs, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall repair the damage within a reasonable time, not to exceed nine (9) months, after Landlord receives notice from Tenant of the damage to the Premises. Landlord shall repair any damage to Tenants fixtures, equipment, or improvements to the extent such damage is covered under Landlords insurance; provided, however, to the extent such fixtures, equipment or improvements were installed by Tenant or any Tenant Party, Landlord may elect to have such repair performed by Tenant. |
b) | If the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of repair, or if the cause of the damage is not covered by the property insurance policy which Landlord is obligated to maintain under Section 4.04(b), Landlord may elect either to (i) repair the damage within a reasonable time not to exceed nine (9) months following notice to Landlord of the damage to the Premises, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect or (ii) terminate this Lease unless Tenant in its sole discretion elects to pay for any deficit between the cost of repair and the insurance proceeds collected or to be collected by Landlord. Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the damage whether Landlord elects to repair the damage or terminate the Lease. If Landlord elects to repair the damage, and fails to complete such repairs within such 9-month period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord. |
c) | If the damage to the Premises occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and such damage will require more than sixty (60) days to repair, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease, regardless of the sufficiency of any insurance proceeds. The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written notification to the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after Tenants notice to Landlord of the occurrence of the damage. |
33
Section 7.02. Substantial or Total Destruction. If the Premises is substantially or totally destroyed by any cause whatsoever (i.e., the damage to the Premises is greater than partial damage as described in Section 7.01), Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the substantial or total destruction and regardless of whether Landlord receives any insurance proceeds, this Lease shall terminate as of the date Tenant provides notice to Landlord of the destruction and the Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such notice (which notice may be made by e-mail provided such email is confirmed in writing within seventy-two (72) hours of the date of such e-mail; provided, however, that if the Premises can be rebuilt within fifteen (15) months after the date Tenant provides notice to Landlord of the destruction, if Landlord elects to rebuild the Premises, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Landlord shall notify Tenant of such election within forty-five (45) days after receipt of Tenants notice of the occurrence of total or substantial destruction. If Landlord so elects, Landlord shall rebuild the Premises at Landlords sole expense. If Landlord elects to rebuild the Premises, and fails to complete such repairs within such 15-month period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) month period; however, if Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such repairs to completion in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
Section 7.03. Temporary Reduction of Rent. If the Premises is destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Article Seven, so long as neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party caused such damage or destruction, any Rent payable during the period of such damage, repair and/or restoration shall be reduced according to the degree, if any, to which Tenants use of the Premises is materially impaired and to which Tenant does not use the damaged portion of the Premises. Except for such possible reduction in Rent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any damage, destruction, repair, or restoration of or to the Premises.
Section 7.04. Waiver. Tenant waives the protection of any statute, code or judicial decision which grants a tenant the right to terminate a lease in the event of damage to or destruction of the leased property. Tenant agrees that the provisions of Section 7.02 above shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the event of any damage of or destruction to the Premises.
ARTICLE EIGHT: CONDEMNATION
If all or any portion of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of that power (all of which are called Condemnation), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken or sold on the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first (the Condemnation Date). If more than twenty percent (20%) of the rentable area of the Building is taken, or if any material portion of the Premises is taken which results in a material and adverse impairment to Tenants ability to conduct its business, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
34
Lease as of the Condemnation Date and Rent shall be apportioned as of such date, by delivering written notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first). If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises not taken, except that the Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the square footage of the Building. Rent shall also be equitably abated for any material portion of the Premises other than the Building which is taken by Condemnation. Any Condemnation award or payment shall be the property of Landlord whether as compensation for reduction in the value of the leasehold, the taking of the fee, the taking of Landlords interest in any ground lease, or otherwise. Tenant shall have the right to pursue a Condemnation award to recover its damages; provided that such award is separate from and does not otherwise reduce any award to Landlord. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repair any damage to the Premises caused by the Condemnation to a condition substantially similar to the condition prior to such Condemnation, except that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage for which Tenant has been reimbursed by the condemning authority. If the damages received by Landlord for repair of the Premises are not sufficient to pay for such repair, Landlord shall have the right to either terminate this Lease or make such repair at Landlords expense.
ARTICLE NINE: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 9.01. Landlords Consent Required. Except as otherwise provided in this Article Nine, no portion of the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law, or act of Tenant, without Landlords prior written consent. Landlord has the right to grant or withhold its consent as provided in Section 9.05 below. Any attempted transfer without consent, to the extent Landlords consent is required, shall be void ab initio and Landlord shall have the right to deem such unapproved transfer as an Event of Default. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, or other entity, any cumulative transfer of more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock, partnership, membership, or other equity interests in such entity, as the case may be, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease, subject to and with the benefit of the provisions of this Article Nine.
Section 9.02. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof, so long as any such transfer does not cause the representations of Tenant in Section 13.17 to become untrue, Tenant, with prior written notice to Landlord, may assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises, without Landlords consent, to any entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from the sale, merger of or consolidation with Tenant, or to any entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or beneficial interests of Tenant (any of the foregoing, a Permitted Transferee). In such case, any Permitted Transferee shall assume in writing all of Tenants obligations under this Lease.
35
Section 9.03. Release of Tenant. No transfer permitted by this Article Nine, whether with or without Landlords consent or any assumption of Tenants obligation under this Lease, including without limitation any transfer under Section 9.02, shall release Tenant or any guarantor or change Tenants primary liability to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlords acceptance of Rent from any other party is not a waiver of any provision of this Article Nine. Consent to one transfer is not a consent to any subsequent transfer. If there is an Event of Default by Tenants transferee, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments, subleases, transfers, or modifications of this Lease by Tenants transferee, and such action shall not relieve Tenants liability under this Lease or the liability of any guarantor.
Section 9.04. Intentionally Deleted.
Section 9.05. Landlords Consent. Tenants request for consent to any transfer required under the terms of this Article Nine shall set forth in writing the details of the proposed transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed transfer (e.g., the term of and the rent and security deposit payable under any proposed assignment or sublease), the proposed assignment or sublease documentation, and any other information Landlord reasonably deems relevant. Tenant shall promptly respond to any reasonable requests for information from Landlord regarding such proposed assignment or sublease. The following factors shall be deemed a reasonable basis on which Landlord may deny consent: (i) the proposed use of the Premises would violate the Permitted Use under this Lease, (ii) the financial condition and financial/business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant (including, without limitation, whether the proposed assignee or subtenant has a financial condition at least equal to that of Tenant as of the execution of this Lease) is reasonably unsatisfactory to Landlord, (iii) any default or an Event of Default remains outstanding, and (iv) whether the representations and warranties of Tenant under Section 13.17 would be true with respect to such proposed assignee or subtenant.. Landlord shall charge Tenant a One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) processing fee for each Tenant request under this Section. So long as Tenant has provided Landlord with all information required by Landlord, Landlord shall respond to Tenants request for consent to a proposed assignment or sublease within fifteen (15) business days from the later of delivery of Tenants request for consent or such information requested by Landlord. Tenant may retain any and all profits arising from an assignment or subletting by Tenant of this Lease.
Section 9.06. No Merger. No merger shall result from Tenants sublease of the Premises under this Article Nine, Tenants surrender of this Lease or the termination of this Lease in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as sublandlord under any or all subtenancies.
36
Section 9.07. Assignment by Landlord. If Landlord sells or otherwise transfers its interest in the Premises, of if Landlord assigns its interest in the Lease, such purchaser, transferee or assignee thereof shall be deemed to have assumed Landlords obligations hereunder and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
ARTICLE TEN: DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
Section 10.01. Covenants and Conditions; Time of Essence. Tenants performance of each of Tenants obligations under this Lease is a condition as well as a covenant. Tenants right to continue in possession of the Premises is conditioned upon such performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants, obligations and conditions of this Lease by Tenant.
Section 10.02. Events of Defaults. Any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease:
a) | If Tenant abandons the entire Premises and ceases to perform any of its obligations under this Lease or if Tenants vacation of the Premises results in the cancellation of any insurance described in Section 4.04; |
b) | If Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other charge within ten (10) days after the date due; |
c) | If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenants other non-monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer reasonable period (not to exceed sixty (60) days in any event) if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, so long as Tenant commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion); provided, however, if this Lease specifically provides a shorter period for cure of a non-monetary obligation, then such shorter period shall apply; provided, further, if this Lease specifically provides that any failure is non-curable or that no notice of default is required, then Landlord shall not be required to give such notice. |
d) | (i) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) if a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) if substantially all of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease is |
37
subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged within thirty (30) days. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the acts described in this subparagraph (d) is not a default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenants interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the excess, if any, of the Rent (or any other consideration) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease over the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease. |
The notices required by this Section 10.02 are intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and are not in addition to any such requirements.
Section 10.03. Remedies. On the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have:
a) | Terminate Tenants right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenants default, including (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord had earned at the time of the termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord would have earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, and other charges which Tenant would have paid for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenants default or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any reasonable costs or expenses Landlord incurs in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default, the reasonable out of pocket cost of recovering possession of the Premises, reasonable out of pocket expenses of reletting, including without limitation Landlords reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection therewith, and any real estate commission paid or payable. As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the worth at the time of the award |
38
is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the Reference Rate, or such lesser amount as may then be the maximum lawful rate. As used in subpart (iii) above, the worth at the time of the award is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate equal to the Prime Rate of the largest commercial bank operating in San Bernardino County, California, at the time of the award. If Tenant has abandoned the Premises and has ceased to perform its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall have the option of (i) retaking possession of the Premises and recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this Section 10.03(a), or (ii) proceeding under Section 10.03(b); |
b) | Maintain Tenants right to possession, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant has abandoned the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlords rights and remedies under this Lease, including without limitation the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due; |
c) | Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord in equity and/or under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises is located. |
d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not be liable for consequential, speculative, or punitive damages. |
No reentry, acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet, or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of the Landlord to protect the Landlords interest under this Lease shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless an express written notice of such intention is delivered to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting of the Premises without termination of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease, in which case, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided by law or equity or this Lease upon termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages.
Section 10.04. Repayment of Free Rent. If this Lease provides for a postponement of any monthly rental payments, a period of free rent or other rent concession, such postponed rent or free rent (including amounts abated under Section 1.09(a)) is called the Abated Rent. Tenant shall be credited with having paid all of the Abated Rent on the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term unless more than one Event of Default has occurred in any calendar. If an Event of Default occurs more than one time in any calendar year, the Abated Rent shall immediately become due and payable in full and this Lease shall be enforced as if there were no such rent abatement or other rent concession. In such case, Abated Rent shall be calculated based on the full initial Rent payable under this Lease.

Section 10.05. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 10.06. California Civil Code Section 1951.4 Remedy. Landlord also has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as same may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, providing that Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenants breach of this Lease and abandonment of the Premises and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet the Premises or assign this Lease, subject only to reasonable limitations. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that in the event Landlord attempts to lease the Premises to any third party without terminating this Lease in an effort to mitigate damages and otherwise in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.4, that such attempted reletting shall not be considered as a termination of Tenants right to possession of the Premises.
Section 10.07. Cumulative Remedies. Landlords exercise of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy.
Section 10.08. Landlords Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlords failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed that (i) Landlords liability under this Lease resulting from any default by Landlord or other claim arising under this Lease shall be limited to actual damages and not special, consequential or punitive damages, and (ii) any money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the net rents, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds, issues, profits and other income after operating expenses and debt service actually received from the operation of the Property after the date of entry of the judgment (collectively Income), and no other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord, wherever situated, shall be subject to levy on any judgment obtained against Landlord, and if such Income is insufficient for the payment of such judgment, Tenant shall not institute any further action, suit, claim or demand, in law or in equity, against Landlord for or on the account of such deficiency. Tenant hereby waives, to the furthest extent permitted by law, any right to satisfy a money judgment against Landlord except from the Income received by Landlord from the operation of the Property. Tenant hereby waives the protections of California Civil Code Sections 1932 and 1933, or any other successor statute containing like protections. In the event Landlord defaults under the terms and conditions of this Lease, beyond any applicable notice or cure periods, Tenant may, at its option (in addition to all other rights and remedies specifically set forth in this Lease), upon further written notice to Landlord of Tenants intention to exercise its self-help remedies
40
hereunder and after providing Landlord with an additional ten (10) day cure period thereafter, incur any reasonable expense necessary to perform the obligation of Landlord specified in such notice and bill Landlord for the reasonable and actual costs thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an emergency shall exist which requires immediate action in order to prevent death, bodily injury, or significant property damage and/or prevent a material interference with Tenants business operations at the Premises, Tenant may cure such default with only reasonable (under the circumstances) notice to Landlord being required. If Landlord has not reimbursed Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenants bill and copies of paid invoices, then Tenant may deduct the reasonable cost of such expense from the Rent next becoming due (but in no event more than fifty percent (50%) of the Rent due in any applicable month), together with interest thereon at seven percent (7.0%).
ARTICLE ELEVEN: PROTECTION OF LENDERS.
Section 11.01. Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises, any advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and any lender which has or is acquiring a security interest in the Premises or this Lease. Within ten (10) business days of delivery by Landlord, Tenant shall execute such further documents and assurances, including a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (SNDA), as such lender may require confirming the foregoing and providing for additional mortgagee protection provisions reasonably and customarily required. If Tenant fails to deliver such executed and acknowledged SNDA to Landlord within ten (10) business days after delivery by Landlord, and such failure continues for more than three (3) days after written notice from Landlord, then in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent One Thousand and no/100ths Dollars ($1,000.00) for every day after delivery of such second (2nd) notice that such SNDA remains undelivered to Landlord. Any SNDA shall be entered into by the mortgagee named in any such mortgage, or by the beneficiary named in any such deed of trust, or by the lessor under such ground lease, providing that notwithstanding any default in the mortgage or deed of trust and any foreclosure thereof, or the enforcement by the holder thereof of any rights or remedies, including sale thereunder, or otherwise, this Lease shall be recognized, remain in full force and effect and Tenants right to quiet possession of the Premises during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed by the holder of any deed of trust or mortgage if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenants obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of such deed of trust or mortgage. If any beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. In the event any such lender gives written notice to Tenant of such lenders interest in the Premises and provides lenders address for notices, Tenant will give written notice to such lender of any default by Landlord under this Lease by mailing a copy of the same
41
by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such lender, and thereafter, if Landlord fails to cure such default within any time periods specified in this Lease, lender shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days after the time Landlords cure period expires to cure such default on Landlords behalf; provided that under no circumstance will any such lender be obligated to cure or to continue to cure any such default. If more than thirty (30) days are required to complete such cure, lenders right to cure such default shall be extended provided that lender commenced to cure such default within the thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion. Notwithstanding lenders cure of any such default on Landlords behalf, and notwithstanding any assignment of this Lease and/or the Rents payable hereunder by Landlord, whether as security or absolute, in connection with financing on all or part of the Premises, Tenant agrees that such lender shall never be treated as a mortgagee in possession or be liable for any obligations of Landlord, even if lender shall have commenced to cure a default or commenced collecting Rents hereunder, until such time as such lender has obtained actual legal title to Landlords interest in the Premises or actual physical possession of the Premises.
Section 11.02. Attornment.
a) | If Landlords interest in the Premises is acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale or in acquiring Landlords interest in the Premises in lieu of foreclosure Tenant shall attorn to the transferee or successor to Landlords interest in the Premises and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease, provided, however, that such transferee or successor agrees as set forth above, in a written SNDA not to disturb Tenants tenancy hereunder and agrees to be bound by and assume the terms, conditions and obligations of Landlord under this Lease, except that such assumption shall not be deemed of itself an acknowledgment by such purchaser or successor of the validity of any then existing Claims of Tenant against any prior landlord (including Landlord). Within ten (10) business days of delivery by Landlord, Tenant shall execute such commercially reasonable further documents and assurances as such lender or such purchaser or successor may reasonably require, including an amendment to the this Lease with such changes as may be reasonably requested by such lender, successor or purchaser, provided such changes do not materially increase Tenants obligations under this Lease, or materially and adversely affect Tenants rights under the Lease. If Tenant fails to deliver such executed amendment to Landlord within ten (10) business days after delivery by Landlord, and such failure continues for more than three (3) days after written notice from Landlord, then in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent One Thousand and no/100ths Dollars ($1,000.00) for every day after delivery of such second (2nd) notice that such SNDA remains undelivered to |
42
Landlord. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlords interest. |
b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Lease to the contrary, neither any such lender nor such other purchaser or successor shall in any event be: |
(i) | Liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); |
(ii) | Obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including Landlord) which occurred prior to the time that such lender or such other purchaser or successor succeeded to the interest of such prior landlord under the Lease; |
(iii) | Subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may be entitled to assert against any prior landlord (including Landlord); |
(iv) | Bound by any payment of Rent by Tenant to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for more than one month in advance; |
(v) | Bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the written consent of such lender or such other purchaser or successor, except for those amendments and modifications permitted to be made by Landlord without such lenders consent pursuant to the terms of the loan and/or lease documents between Landlord and such lender; or |
(vi) | Liable or responsible for, or with respect to, the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security deposit paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), whether or not still held by such prior landlord, unless and until such lender or such other purchaser or successor has actually received for its own account as landlord the full amount of such security deposit. |
Section 11.03. Current Lenders SNDA. Upon Tenants execution of this Lease, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord the SNDA from Landlords current lender, attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof (Current Lenders SNDA), which SNDA shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Within thirty (30) days of the Execution Date, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to deliver to Tenant the Current Lenders SNDA executed by the current lender.
43
Section 11.04. Estoppel Certificates. Upon Landlords written request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (Form Estoppel Certificate) certifying, to the extent true at the time: (a) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (b) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated; (c) the last date of payment of the Base Rent and other charges and the time period covered by such payment; (d) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating why); and (e) such other representations or information with respect to Tenant or the Lease as Landlord may reasonably request or which any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises, or any leasehold beneficiary, may reasonably require. Tenant shall deliver such statement to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Landlords request. If Tenant fails to deliver such estoppel certificate to Landlord within ten (10) business days after request by Landlord, and such failure continues for more than three (3) days after written notice from Landlord, then in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent One Thousand and no/100ths Dollars ($1,000.00) for every day after delivery of such second (2nd) notice that such estoppel certificate remains undelivered to Landlord. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any third party and such third party may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.
Section 11.05. Financial Condition.
a) | Of Tenant. Within ten (10) business days after written request from Landlord (but no more than twice each calendar year), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such financial statements as Landlord may reasonably require so Landlord may verify the net worth and profitability of Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each such financial statement is a true and accurate statement as of the date of such statement. To the extent Tenant is not publicly traded and/or Tenants financial statements are not public information, Landlord shall keep (and require any prospective purchaser to keep) such financial statements confidential, and such financial statements shall be used only for the purposes set forth in this Lease. If Tenant fails to deliver such financial statement to Landlord within ten (10) business days after requested by Landlord, and such failure continues for more than three (3) days after written notice from Landlord, then in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent One Thousand and no/100ths Dollars ($1,000.00) for every day after delivery of such second (2nd) notice that such financial statement remains undelivered to Landlord. |
b) | Of Landlord. Within thirty (30) days after written request from Tenant (but no more than once each calendar year), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant such existing financial statements for the |
44
Premises that Landlord has in its possession and have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the Premises so Tenant may verify the financial condition of Landlord or any assignee of Landlord. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that each such financial statement is a true and accurate statement as of the date of such statement. Landlords failure to timely provide such financial statement shall not be a default by Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall keep such financial statements confidential, shall not release such financial statements to any third parties and such financial statements shall be used only for the purposes set forth in this Lease. |
ARTICLE TWELVE: LEGAL COSTS
Section 12.01. Legal Proceedings. If Tenant or Landlord shall be in breach or default under this Lease, such party (the Defaulting Party) shall reimburse the other party (the Nondefaulting Party) upon demand for any costs or expenses that the Nondefaulting Party incurs in connection with any breach or default of the Defaulting Party under this Lease, whether or not suit is commenced or judgment entered. Such costs shall include reasonable legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights, including collection costs, or otherwise. Furthermore, if any legal proceeding for breach of or to enforce the provisions of this Lease is commenced, or for a declaration of or review, including proceedings rights hereunder, in bankruptcy or otherwise, the court in such action shall award to the party in whose favor a judgment is entered a reasonable sum as attorneys fees and costs at trial or upon appeal. The losing party in such action shall pay such attorneys fees and costs. Tenant shall also indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from all Claims Landlord may incur if Landlord becomes or is made a party to any Claims (a) instituted by Tenant against any third party, or by any third party against Tenant, relating to this Lease, the Premises or Tenants operations at the Premises, or by or against any person holding any interest under or using the Premises by license of or agreement with Tenant; (b) for foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or such other person at the Premises; (c) otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Tenant or such other person; related to this Lease, the Premises or Tenants operations at the Premises, or (d) necessary to protect Landlords interest under this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, or other proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

Section 12.02. Landlords Consent. Tenant shall pay Landlords reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys fees incurred in connection with Tenants request for Landlords consent under Article Nine, or in connection with any other act which Tenant proposes to do and which requires Landlords consent, and for which legal counsel is required except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, such reimbursement of attorneys fees shall not exceed $1,500.00 per request, unless previously approved by Tenant.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 13.01. Non-Discrimination.

Section 13.02. Landlords Liability; Certain Duties.
a) | As used in this Lease, the term Landlord means only the current owner or owners, at the time in question, of the leasehold estate under any ground lease of the Premises, or if there is no leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Premises, the owner or owners of the fee title to the Premises.

Any landlord who transfers its title or interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease to be performed on or after the date of transfer, and upon transfer of Landlords interest or title, the transferee, by accepting such transfer, shall be deemed to have assumed Landlords obligations under this Lease to be performed on and after the date of transfer. However, each landlord shall deliver to its transferee all funds that Tenant previously paid if such funds have not yet been applied under the terms of this Lease. |
b) | Notwithstanding any term or provision herein to the contrary, the liability of Landlord for the performance of its duties and obligations under this Lease is limited to the Income (as defined in Section 10.08), and neither Landlord nor its direct or indirect partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, or other principals shall have any personal liability under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord be liable for incidental, general, consequential, speculative, indirect, or punitive damages. |
Section 13.03. Severability. A determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease or any part thereof is illegal or unenforceable shall not cancel or invalidate the remainder of such provision or this Lease, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 13.13. Force Majeure. If Landlord cannot perform any of its obligations due to events beyond Landlords control, the time provided for performing such obligations shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of such events. Events beyond Landlords control include, but are not limited to, lack of or delay in the issuance of building permits or other required governmental approvals or other delay by governmental authorities, acts of God, terrorism, riot, war, civil commotion, delay by Tenant or any Tenant Party, labor disputes, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty, shortages of labor or material, government regulation, restriction or delay, and weather conditions causing delay (Force Majeure). Landlord will, promptly upon becoming aware of such event, notify Tenant of any Force Majeure event and any delay due to the Banded Owl. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, expressly excluded from Force Majeure are any obligations to make payments under this Lease and any delay related solely to the burrowing owl that was banded on the Premises with a green metal band and identified on the band with 80/A5 on February 8, 2017 by Kidd Biological (Banded Owl), provided, however, if a delay occurs as a result of the Banded Owl in excess of thirty (30) days (Banded Owl Delay), then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, exercisable by the delivery of written notice to the Tenant (a Banded Owl Termination Notice), which Banded Owl Termination Notice shall be delivered on or before the forty fifth (45th) day after the Banded Owl Delay date and effective as of the thirty first (31st) day after the Banded Owl Delay date (the Banded Owl Termination Effective Date); provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to rescind a Banded Owl Termination Notice from Landlord if Tenant delivers a written notice to Landlord within (5) business days after Tenants receipt of the Banded Owl Termination Notice extending the Target Delivery Date day for day for each day of delay after the Banded Owl Delay date. To the extent
49
terminated pursuant to a Banded Owl Termination Notice which is not rescinded by Tenant, this Lease shall terminate on the Banded Owl Termination Effective Date and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Lease, except to the extent such rights and obligations expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Execution copies of this Lease may be delivered by facsimile or email, and the parties hereto agree to accept and be bound by facsimile signatures or scanned signatures transmitted via email hereto, which signatures shall be considered as original signatures with the transmitted Lease having the same binding effect as an original signature on an original Lease.

LEASE AGREEMENT
ARTICLE SIXTEEN: OPTION(S) TO EXTEND.
Section 16.01. Grant of Options. Provided Tenant is not then in breach of any of the terms or covenants of this Lease, beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, and Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) is physically occupying the Premises at the time of such election, Tenant may extend this Lease for up to three (3) additional periods of five (5) years each (each, an Extension Term) on the terms and conditions as provided in this Lease (Option to Extend), by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord not earlier than twelve (12) and not later than nine (9) months before the expiration of the original Lease Term or the applicable Extension Term(s) (the Extension Notice Deadline). Upon the commencement of any Extension Term, the applicable Extension Term shall be deemed part of the Lease Term.
Section 16.02. Extension Term Rent.
a) | Tenants exercise of an Option to Extend will not affect any terms or conditions of the Lease except that the Lease Term shall be extended as provided above, Base Rent for the initial twelve (12) months of each Extension Term will be the Fair Market Rent as determined below, and the Base Rent will increase on an annual basis by three percent (3.0%) starting on each anniversary of commencement of the Extension Term. |
b) | If Tenant has properly exercised an Option to Extend, Landlord will, not later than sixty (60) days after receipt by Landlord of Tenants Extension notice (Extension Rent Notice Deadline) provide Tenant with written notice of the monthly Base Rent payable during the first twelve (12) month period of the applicable Extension Term (Extension Rent Notice) based on the current fair market base monthly rent for the Premises (Fair Market Rent). If Landlord fails to provide the Extension Rent Notice by the Extension Rent Notice Deadline, Tenant will notify Landlord within thirty (30) days of Landlords failure to provide the Extension Rent Notice, along with Tenants estimate of Fair Market Rent, and Landlord will have an additional thirty (30) days to provide the Extension Rent Notice after receiving Tenants notice. Fair Market Rent shall mean the monthly base rental per rentable square foot that a willing, comparable, non-equity tenant with a credit-worthiness comparable to Tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a Comparable Property (as hereinafter defined) within a three (3) mile radius of the Premises would accept at arms length for a non-renewing tenant, giving appropriate consideration to rental rates per square foot, type of escalations (including, but not limited to operating |
RIDER Page 1
expenses), abatement provisions reflecting abated rent or early access (if any), length of lease term, building size, building height, building age, building quality, vehicle trailer parking, accessibility and location of premises being leased and tenant improvement allowances, and the amortized replacement cost, if any, to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 6.04(a) above. Comparable Property shall be space that is (1) not subleased; (2) not subject to another tenants expansion rights; (3) not leased to a tenant that holds an ownership interest in the Comparable Property or in the landlord of such Comparable Property; (4) not leased to a tenant under a renewal or an extension of a lease; and (5) leased for a term comparable to the Option Term. |
c) | Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord on or before the later to occur of the Extension Notice Deadline or the date that is thirty (30) days after Tenants receipt of the Extension Rent Notice, whichever date is later, of its acceptance or rejection of the Base Rent amount. If Tenant accepts the Base Rent amount or does not notify Landlord of its acceptance or rejection before the Extension Notice Deadline, the Base Rent for the Extension Term will be Fair Market Rent set forth by Landlord in the Extension Rent Notice. If Tenant reasonably and in good faith rejects the Base Rent amount, the parties shall submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth below. |
Section 16.03. Arbitration.
a) | For a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant rejects Landlords Base Rent proposal, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement. If, within the thirty (30) day negotiation period described herein Landlord and Tenant cannot reach an agreement as to the Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall make demand for arbitration in writing within ten (10) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day negotiation period, specifying therein the name and address of the person to act as an arbitrator on its behalf, who shall be a real estate broker and shall have been active over the ten (10) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of industrial warehouse properties within a three (3) mile radius of the Premises. The arbitration shall be conducted and determined in San Bernardino County in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes except to the extent that the procedures mandated will be deemed to modify such rules. Failure on the part of Tenant to make a timely and proper demand for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto, and Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlords determination of Fair Market Rent set |
RIDER Page 2
forth in the Extension Rent Notice. If Tenants demand for arbitration fails to specify an arbitrator, Landlord will notify Tenant of Tenants failure and Tenant will have an additional five (5) days to designate an arbitrator. Within ten (10) business days after the receipt of Tenants demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant, specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to designate an arbitrator by with the ten (10) business day period, Tenant will notify Landlord of Landlords failure to designate an arbitrator and Landlord will have an additional five (5) days to designate an arbitrator. If Landlord or Tenant fails to designate an arbitrator after its additional five (5) day period, the party who failed to designate an arbitrator shall be deemed to have accepted the other partys designated arbitrator as the arbitrator for the determination of Extension Term Rent. In the event there is one deemed designated arbitrator, within ten (10) days after the date such arbitrator is deemed designated, Landlord and Tenant will each submit its estimate of the Fair Market Rent to the arbitrator. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the ten (10)-day period, the arbitrator shall decide whether the parties shall use Landlords or Tenants submitted Fair Market Rent as the Base Rent for the Extension Term, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. |
b) | If both parties designate an arbitrator, the two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days of the date of appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be similarly qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the first two (2) arbitrators. Within ten (10) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant will each submit its estimate of the Fair Market Rent to the arbitrator(s), which estimate may be any amount and may be different than the amount stated in the Extension Rent Notice or otherwise discussed between the parties. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlords or Tenants submitted Fair Market Rent is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rent of the Premises, as determined by the arbitrators. The three (3) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlords or Tenants submitted Fair Market Rent as the Base Rent for the Extension Term, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator within the ten (10) day period provided above, then Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators that possess the required |
RIDER Page 3
qualifications as set forth above; provided that none of such proposed arbitrators nor the firm for which any of them works shall be a current or past affiliate of either Landlord or Tenant or currently retained or employed by Landlord or Tenant. Within five (5) business days after receipt of such list, Tenant shall select an arbitrator therefrom and such person shall be the third arbitrator hereunder. If Tenant fails to make such selection within such five (5) business day period, then Landlord shall select the third arbitrator from such list. Each party shall pay the cost of the arbitrator which it first selects and the parties shall share equally the cost of the third arbitrator. The determination of the Fair Market Rent will not delay or postpone the commencement of the Extension Term. If the Fair Market Rent rate has not been determined by the commencement date of the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay monthly all Additional Rent amounts and all monthly installments of the Base Rent upon the terms and conditions in effect during the last month of the initial Lease Term (or prior Extension Term, as applicable), for the first month and thereafter Tenant shall pay monthly all Additional Rent amounts and the Base Rent shall be in an amount each month equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent in effect for the immediately preceding month, until such time as the Fair Market Rent rate has been determined. Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement date of such Extension Term for the Premises. |
Section 16.04. OPTION IS NOT ASSIGNABLE. The Option to Extend granted to Tenant in this Article is personal to the Tenant named in this Lease (or to a Permitted Transferee) and cannot be assigned to a third party.
Section 16.05. EXTENSION TERM(S) IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. During the first year of each Extension Term, Landlord has included a cosmetic/capital improvement allowance (the Cosmetic/Capital Improvement Allowance) of One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot of the Premises for the sole purpose of cosmetic/capital improvements to the Premises for the first (1st) Extension Term, a Cosmetic/Capital Improvement Allowance of Two Dollars ($2.00) per square foot of the Premises for the second (2nd) Extension Term, and a Cosmetic/Capital Improvement Allowance of One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot of the Premises for the third (3rd) Extension Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cosmetic/Capital Allowance for the second (2nd) Extension Term shall first be used for the replacement of the roof membrane for the entire Building. Tenant shall be entitled to seek disbursement from the available Cosmetic/Capital Allowance to be paid, at Tenants election, either to Tenant to the extent Tenant has previously paid such amounts or directly to Tenants contractors, their subcontractors, and suppliers for the cost of any cosmetic/capital improvements constructed or installed by such contractors, subcontractors, and/or suppliers. Landlord shall provide said disbursement within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request for disbursement, provided that Tenant is in
RIDER Page 4
compliance with the following: (i) Landlord must receive a written request for disbursement from Tenant together with complete invoices with all back up including copies of invoices from subcontractors to support general contractor invoices; (ii) Landlord must have received W-9s for its contractor and direct subcontractors to be paid; (iii) Landlord must receive conditional upon progress lien waivers for each contractor, subcontractor or supplier who provides a pre-lien of the property with unconditional upon progress lien waivers for all previous disbursements to such party; and (iv) no Event of Default has occurred (or is continuing after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 10.02); provided, however, if a default by Tenant has occurred (which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, without cure, would become an Event of Default, then Landlord may delay such disbursement to confirm that such default is timely cured. All cosmetic/capital improvements shall be deemed to be Alterations and shall be subject to Section 6.05 in all respects. In the event that Tenant does not utilize the entire Cosmetic/Capital Allowance within one (1) year after the commencement of the then-applicable Extension Term, then any unused portion of the Cosmetic/Capital Allowance shall be waived and Landlord shall have no further obligations concerning the allowance.
ARTICLE SEVENTEEN: CALIFORNIA WAIVERS.
Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, Tenant waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Sections 1932(2), 1933(4), and 3275 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1265.130, 1174, and 1179.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Work Letter, Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord, General Contractor nor Landlords Design Professionals shall be responsible for obtaining Tenant Permits; which shall be Tenants obligation to obtain; provided, however, that Landlord shall, at no out-of-pocket cost or expense, cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain the Tenant Permits. |

To the extent the Project Cost of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the Base Improvement Allowance and the Capitalized TI Allowance, Landlord shall provide an additional allowance of up to $702,668.00 (based on One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot of the Building, the Amortized TI Allowance), and the amount of such Amortized TI Allowance utilized by Tenant (the Amortized TI Amount) shall be amortized over the initial Lease Term at seven percent (7.0%) and the monthly payments based upon such amortization shall be included in the monthly Base Rent in accordance with Section 1.09(a) of the Lease. For the avoidance of doubt and without intending to limit any other provision hereof, as of the Execution Date the parties do not contemplate use of the Capitalized TI Allowance or Amortized TI Allowance. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be utilized by Landlord in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Work Letter for Project Costs for the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (including, without limitation, the following items and costs: (i) payment of the fees and expenses of Design Professionals and Other Consultants retained by Landlord, (ii) payment of all fees payable to Landlord hereunder and the costs of documents and materials supplied by Landlord, (iii) the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings for the Tenant Improvements or the Tenant Improvements required by Applicable Laws, or (iv) the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings for the Landlord Improvements or the Landlord Improvements required pursuant to Change Orders requested by Tenant to the extent approved by Landlord and General Contractor in accordance with this Work Letter (Tenant-Initiated Landlord Improvements Change Costs). In the event that the actual costs of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements are less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to such excess Tenant Improvement Allowance (or any portion thereof) or any credit, deduction, abatement or other offset against Rent or any other amounts due under the Lease; provided, however, (1) such excess Tenant Improvement Allowance may be applied to any Tenant-Initiated Landlord Improvements Change Costs that Tenant would have otherwise had to deposit with Landlord as required by this Section, and (2) Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to Landlord, (i) for the fixed Shell Rent to have any unused portion of the Base Improvement Allowance credited against the next installments of Base Rent coming due after the Determination Date, or (ii) for the Return-on-Cost Rent, to have |
the used portion of the Base Improvement Allowance included in the Project Cost for purposes of determining the Shell Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Work Letter, Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable by delivery of written notice to Landlord, to pay for all or any part of the Tenant Improvements directly rather than utilizing Capitalized TI Allowance and/or the Amortized TI Allowance, so long as mutually satisfactory funding arrangements by Tenant have been established by Landlord and Tenant. All of the Landlord Improvements and any Additional Tenant Improvements made by Tenant with Landlords approval shall become part of the Premises to the extent provided in, and subject to the provisions of, Sections 6.05 and 6.06 of the Lease, as if such Landlord Improvements and Additional Tenant Improvements were Alterations under the Lease. |
c. | Additional Construction Management Fees. Landlord shall be entitled to additional construction management fees in the amount of: three and a half percent (3.5%) of all Project Costs for the improvements paid for with the Capitalized TI Allowance and the Amortized TI Allowance. |
d. | GMP; Cap on Shell Rent; Contingency and Savings. |
i. | Landlord Improvements GMP. The cap on Shell Rent set forth in Section 1.09(a)(i)(F) of the Lease, and the provisions of this Section 2(d)(i) equates to a guarantee by Landlord that it will construct the Landlord Improvements (as set forth in the Preliminary Base Improvements Specifications and the Preliminary Tenant Improvements Specifications) for total Project Costs not to exceed a guaranteed maximum cost (the Landlord Improvements GMP) of $63,080,244.00 as set forth in the Project Budget, subject to Change Orders and adjustments as provided herein, with the guaranteed maximum cost for the Base Improvements described in the Preliminary Base Improvements Specifications attached hereto as Schedule 1 equal to $60,269,572.00 (the Base Improvements GMP), and the guaranteed maximum cost for the Tenant Improvements described in the Preliminary Tenant Improvements Specifications attached hereto as Schedule 2 equal to $2,851,677.00 (the Tenant Improvements GMP), both as set forth in the Project Budget and subject to Change Orders and adjustments as provided herein. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the incremental cost of the final Tenant Improvements in excess of $2,810,672.00 less any cost savings. |
ii. | Contingency. Included in the Landlord Improvements GMP are amounts for contingency (each, a Contingency) in the respective amounts of $702,688 for hard costs, and $50,000.00 for soft costs, each for the purpose of providing funding for Project Costs. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Work Letter or the Lease, each Contingency shall be available to Landlord on an unrestricted basis for application to any cost of expense as Landlord deems necessary in its good faith business judgment to cause the Project to be constructed as required under this Work Letter and the Lease; provided, however, Landlord shall during the course of construction of the Landlord Improvements maintain a Contingency log and provide Tenant with written notice in connection with each Draw Request (hereinafter defined) setting forth the amount of such Contingency applied; provided, further, such Contingency log and written notice delivered to Tenant is for notice purposes only and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to require Tenants consent or approval. |
iii. | Landlord Improvement GMP and Project Budget. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Work Letter or the Lease, neither the Landlord Improvements GMP (and its respective components of the Base Improvements GMP and the Tenant Improvements GMP) nor the Project Budget shall be deemed or construed to imply any guarantees of the applicable line items of such items and Landlord shall have the right, in its good faith business judgment, upon notice to Tenant, to re-allocate amounts amongst the respective line items and Project Costs as Landlord deems necessary to complete the Project in accordance with the requirements of this Work Letter and the Lease. |

Either party may change any of its representatives under this Work Letter, or add additional representatives, at any time by written notice to the other party. If more than one representative is appointed for either party, communications need only be made to one of the appointed |
representatives. Tenant will not make any inquiries of or request to, and will not give any instructions or authorizations to, any other employee or agent of Landlord, including without limitation General Contractor, General Contractors subcontractors, Design Professionals, Other Consultants, or any of their respective agents, representatives or employees, with regard to matters covered by this Work Letter. Only the parties appointed representatives identified in writing shall have the authority to act for the respective party. |

Any other Design Professional selected by Landlord in connection with the Landlord Improvements shall be approved by Tenant, which approval shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be deemed approved if Tenant fails to respond within three (3) business days after delivery of written notice. Landlord shall require all Design Professionals under contract with Landlord to carry insurance of the types and in amounts typically required by similar owners with similar projects with respect to the design services being provided, and to name Tenant and such others reasonably identified by Tenant as additional insureds on any such policies where permitted by Applicable Laws. |
b. | Other Consultants. Tenant has pre-approved the Other Consultants specifically identified in Section 1(o) and Section 1(s) above in connection with the Landlord Improvements.

5. | Landlord Improvements Plans. |
a. | Site Plan. Landlord and Tenant have each approved the site plan attached to the Lease as Exhibit B (Site Plan). |
b. | Tenant Information and Preliminary Specifications. |
i. | For Base Improvements. Landlord and Tenant specifically acknowledge and agree that on the Execution Date, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Preliminary Base Improvements Specifications attached hereto as Schedule 1 (as modified as described above) and Tenant waives any further right to disapprove the same. Landlord and Tenant shall proceed to the development of Final Plans for the Base Improvements. |
ii. | For Tenant Improvements. Landlord and Tenant specifically acknowledge and agree that on the Execution Date, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Space Plan and Preliminary Tenant Improvements Specifications attached hereto as Schedule 2 (as modified as described above) and Tenant waives any further right to disapprove the same. Landlord and Tenant shall proceed to the development of Final Plans for the Tenant Improvements. |
iii. | For Additional Tenant Improvements. As soon as practicable, Tenant shall submit for Landlords review and approval a modified Space Plan or Site Plan, as applicable, and complete Tenant plans and specifications for the Additional Tenant Improvements (the Preliminary Additional TI Specifications), which review and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to disapprove or condition its approval of such Preliminary Additional TI Specifications if (1) if such Additional Tenant Improvements are materially inconsistent with (A) the Preliminary Base Improvements Specifications, (B) the Preliminary Tenant Improvements Specifications, (C) the Final Plans for the Base Improvements, (D) the Final Plans for the Tenant Improvements, (E) the Approved Final Plans (hereinafter defined) for the Base Improvements, or (F) the Approved Final Plans for the Tenant Improvements, (2) if the Additional Tenant Improvements violate or create a potential violation of Applicable Laws or Title Matters, (3) if the Additional Tenant Improvements have the potential to adversely affect the market value of the Project or increase the cost of, or impair the ability to obtain and maintain insurance for the Project, (4) if the Additional Tenant Improvements materially increase the costs of ownership, operation or maintenance of the Premises, or materially and adversely impact the functionality, durability or useful life of the Building or any Building component or system or void or impair any |
of the warranties covering the Landlord Improvements, (5) if the Additional Tenant Improvements have the potential, in Landlords reasonable judgment, to create a potential threat to human health and safety or increase the risk of damage to the Premises (e.g., the installation of sumps, clarifiers, wells, or underground or above-ground storage tanks), or (6) if the Additional Tenant Improvements are not approved by Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Additional Tenant Improvements or the concurrent construction thereof would cause delay in achieving Substantial Completion, then that shall not be deemed a reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its approval of such Additional Tenant Improvements; however, any such delay in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay. |
c. | Development of Final Plans. |
i. | For the Base Improvements. Based on the Site Plan and the approved Preliminary Base Improvements Specifications, Landlord shall cause General Contractor, Design Professionals and Other Consultants as may be selected and retained by Landlord or General Contractor to prepare proposed final plans and specifications (Final Plans) for the Base Improvements for Tenants review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
ii. | For the Tenant Improvements. Based on the approved Space Plan and the approved Preliminary Tenant Improvements Specifications, Landlord shall cause General Contractor, Design Professionals and Other Consultants as may be selected and retained by Landlord or General Contractor to prepare proposed Final Plans for the Tenant Improvements for Tenants review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
iii. | For the Additional Tenant Improvements. Based on the modified Site Plan and/or Space Plan, as applicable, and the Preliminary Additional TI Specifications that have been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall cause the proposed Final Plans for the Additional Tenant Improvements to be prepared for Landlords review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
iv. | Timing of Final Plans. The parties understand and agree that proposed plans and specifications may be fixed and become Final on a sequential basis (for example, engineering and site plans may become Final, and site work may begin before other components of the plans and specifications become Final for purposes of this Work |
Letter). When Tenant has approved sufficient elements of the design to allow for preparation of proposed Final Plans with respect to any major component of the Landlord Improvements (for example, site engineering, MEP and other major trades, Building structure, Base Improvements and/or Tenant Improvements, etc.), Landlord and General Contractor will direct the Design Professionals to prepare proposed Final Plans in compliance with all Applicable Laws, and the parties will continue to follow the review process described in this Section 5. |
v. | Review Process. Each party will have five (5) business days to review and comment on all interim and proposed Final Plans submitted by the other. If the reviewing party does not object to any such proposed Final Plans within such five (5) business day period, then the preparing party shall deliver to the reviewing party a second request for approval of such proposed Final Plans (the Second Notice; which Second Notice shall contain the following language in 12 point font, all caps in the subject line of such Second Notice: THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF FINAL PLANS AND YOUR FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS SECOND NOTICE WITHIN TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS WILL BE DEEMED YOUR APPROVAL OF SUCH FINAL PLANS. If the reviewing party fails to respond to such Second Notice within two (2) business days of delivery of such Second Notice to the reviewing party, then, so long as such proposed Final Plans are consistent with Applicable Laws, Title Matters and are otherwise permitted pursuant to this Lease and Work Letter (including, without limitation, Tenant has obtained any separate approvals required under Section 5.03 of the Lease and such proposed Final Plans do not violate the restrictions under Sections 5.02 and 5.03 of the Lease), then reviewing party will be deemed to have approved the proposed Final Plans and such proposed Final Plans shall be deemed Approved Final Plans. If the reviewing party questions or rejects any element of any proposed Final Plans, the reviewing party will deliver written objections (an Objection Notice), including sufficient detail to enable the preparing party to address each of the reviewing partys concerns. Upon receipt of a timely Objection Notice (1) the preparing party will revise the proposed Final Plans to address the reviewing partys concerns and resubmit the proposed Final Plans for the reviewing partys approval or (2) if, in Landlords opinion, Tenants disapproval is due to the fact that Tenant is requesting changes that are not consistent with the scope of work for the Landlord Improvements or previously approved versions of the Preliminary Base Improvements Specifications or the Preliminary Tenant Improvements Specifications, Landlord shall notify Tenant that compliance with Tenants request will require a Change Order |
and Tenant will have five (5) business days within which to notify Landlord to proceed with the Change Order or to withdraw Tenants objections (a failure to timely notify Landlord shall be deemed an election by Tenant to withdraw the requested change) and, if such request is not withdrawn or deemed withdrawn, then the parties shall execute a Change Order. After the mutual execution and delivery of any Change Order, Landlord shall revise the proposed Final Plans and resubmit them for Tenants approval. The foregoing procedures will be repeated until the reviewing party has issued written (not deemed) approval of Final Plans for each component of the Landlord Improvements and the Additional Tenant Improvements. |
vi. | Expedited Review. Nothing in Section 5(c) will be construed to prevent the parties from scheduling one or more meetings (which may include General Contractor, the Design Professionals, Other Consultants, subcontractors, and any other consultants and agents selected by the parties), to review any set of interim Final Plans and attempt to resolve all issues and objections and arrive at Approved Final Plans. |
vii. | Plan Revisions; Approved Final Plans. The parties understand that plans and specifications may not be Final until bids are received and subcontractors have been selected and engaged to perform the Landlord Improvements, and the parties agree to continue the design review process outlined in this Section until all Approved Final Plans have been approved for all of the Landlord Improvements; provided, however, once approved, any change to the Approved Final Plans may only be made by Change Order. When Approved Final Plans are complete, the parties will approve a schedule identifying and listing the Approved Final Plans in a mutually agreeable format, and that schedule will be initialed by Landlord and Tenant and attached hereto as a revised Schedules 1 and 2, as applicable. For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing contained in the Lease or this Work Letter shall be deemed or construed as granting Tenant any rights to approve the Final Plans for the Off-Site Improvements, which approval rights are vested solely in the applicable governmental agencies or jurisdictions having authority thereof. |
viii. | Selection of Subcontractors for the Landlord Improvements. As soon as possible after the date of the Lease, Landlord and General Contractor will lead, and Tenant shall be permitted to participate in, a competitive screening process, and prepare and distribute construction drawing, bid-ready packages to at least three (3) prospective subcontractors selected by General Contractor and reasonably approved by Tenant for each component of the |
Landlord Improvements that cost greater than $10,000; provided, however, the subcontractors listed on Schedule 5 to this Work Letter are pre-approved by Tenant for the purposes of the type of work designated for such subcontractors in Schedule 5 only (the Pre-Approved Subcontractors). The parties (including Tenant) will evaluate prospective subcontractors on metrics including resource capacity, previous experience with open-book projects of a similar nature and scale, safety record, preliminary project budgets, and other appropriate distinguishing factors bearing upon the overall qualifications of the proposed subcontractor, as well as bid review and approval. As a part of this process, the parties (including Tenant and Tenants project manager, Cushman & Wakefield U.S., Inc. (C&W)) shall meet to evaluate the costs, and cooperate reasonably to value engineer the proposed Final Plans as the parties reasonably deem necessary or appropriate. If the parties do not agree on the final selection of a subcontractor (from the list chosen to participate in the screening process), then Tenants decision will control, but Tenant shall be solely responsible (by Change Order) for any increased costs resulting from selection of a subcontractor other than the subcontractor with the lowest responsive bid and/or any time delay (which shall be deemed a Tenant Delay) resulting from selection of a subcontractor other than the subcontractor who can complete the applicable portion of the Landlord Improvements in the shortest specified time. No subcontractor will be engaged or discharged without Tenants consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenants failure to respond to a subcontractor selection proposal delivered from Landlord or General Contractor within five (5) business days shall be deemed approval of the subcontractor proposed in such materials. |
ix. | Documentation. Landlord will enter into a guaranteed maximum price contract with General Contractor (the General Contract), which provides that any savings under such General Contract shall be shared between Landlord and General Contractor on a 75%/25% basis, with 75% of such savings accruing to Landlord and 25% of such savings accruing to General Contractor; provided, however, allowances and contingency under the General Contract shall not be included in the calculation of savings under the General Contract. Any such savings realized by Landlord under the General Contract shall reduce the Project Costs.

RECITALS:
A. Landlord owns, leases or controls (or will be acquiring) the land (Land) described in Schedule 1 attached hereto and the building and related improvements located thereon (the Building; the Land and Building are collectively referred to as the Property).
B. Under the terms of a certain Lease Agreement (the Lease) dated February 14, 2017, between Tenant and Landlord, or Landlords predecessor in title, Tenant has leased a portion of the Building, as more particularly described in the Lease (the Demised Premises).
C. Landlord has executed, or will be executing, a mortgage or deed of trust in favor of Mortgagee (the Mortgage) pursuant to which Landlord has encumbered or will encumber Landlords interest in the Land, Building and Lease to secure, among other things, the payment of certain indebtedness owing by Landlord to Mortgagee as described therein and in all other documents evidencing, securing or guaranteeing such indebtedness (the Loan Documents).
D. The parties hereto desire to have the Lease be subordinate to the Mortgage and the lien thereof, to establish certain rights of non-disturbance for the benefit of Tenant under the Lease, and further to define the terms, covenants and conditions precedent for such rights.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1. Subordination. The Lease, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or extended, and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant thereunder are and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Mortgage, including without limitation,
EXHIBIT E Page 1
all renewals, increases, modifications, consolidations, extensions and amendments thereof with the same force and effect as if the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents had been executed, delivered and (in the case of the Mortgage) recorded prior to the execution and delivery of the Lease.
2. Non-Disturbance. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, which foreclosure or conveyance occurs prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease, including any extensions and renewals of such term now provided thereunder, and so long as an Event of Default (as defined in the Lease) by Tenant has not occurred under the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Mortgagee agrees on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, including any purchaser at such foreclosure (each being referred to herein as an Acquiring Party), that Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenants possession, quiet enjoyment or use of the Demised Premises, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its other rights under the Mortgage shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease (subject to the terms of this Agreement); provided, further, however, that Mortgagee and Tenant agree that the following provisions of the Lease (if any) shall not be binding on Mortgagee or Acquiring Party: any option to purchase or any right of first refusal to purchase with respect to the Property, and any provision regarding the use of casualty insurance proceeds from insurance purchased by Landlord on the Premises which is inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage.
3. Attornment. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, which foreclosure or conveyance occurs prior to the expiration date of the term of the Lease, including any extensions and renewals of such term now provided thereunder, Tenant shall, at the election of the Acquiring Party, either: (i) attorn to and recognize the Acquiring Party as the new landlord under the Lease, which Lease shall thereupon become a direct lease between Tenant and the Acquiring Party for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including all extension periods which have been or are hereafter exercised) upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease (subject to the terms of this Agreement); or (ii) if any Landlord default under the Lease is not susceptible to cure and results in the termination of the Lease, or the Lease is terminated for any other reason, including, without limitation, as a result of rejection in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, then upon receiving the written request of the Acquiring Party, Tenant shall enter into a new lease of the Demised Premises with the Acquiring Party (a New Lease), which New Lease shall be the same terms, covenants and conditions as are set forth in the Lease (subject to the terms of this Agreement) for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including all extension periods which have been or are hereafter exercised). In either such event described in the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 3, Tenant hereby agrees to pay and perform all of the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease (or the New Lease, as applicable) for the benefit of the Acquiring Party. For all purposes of this Agreement, the word Lease shall be deemed to mean the Lease or any such New Lease, as applicable.
EXHIBIT E Page 2
4. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease, in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, which foreclosure or conveyance occurs prior to the expiration date of the term of the Lease, including any extensions and renewals of such term now provided thereunder, the liability of Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, or Acquiring Party, as the case may be, shall be limited to its interest in the Property; provided, however, that Mortgagee or Acquiring Party, as the case may be, and their respective successors and assigns, shall in no event and to no extent (the notice and opportunity to cure which is provided below will only apply with respect to an Acquiring Party if Tenant is provided written notice of such Acquiring Party and its address prior to the time that Tenant notifies Landlord of the default):
(a) be liable to Tenant for any past act, omission or default on the part of any prior landlord (including Landlord) and Tenant shall have no right to assert the same or any damages arising therefrom as an offset, defense or deficiency against Mortgagee, Acquiring Party or the successors or assigns of either of them except to the extent either the Mortgagee or Acquiring Party was furnished with notice and opportunity to cure the same in accordance with provisions of this Agreement prior to taking possession of the Demised Premises;
(b) be liable for or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord) except to the extent either the Mortgagee or Acquiring Party was furnished with notice and opportunity to cure the same in accordance with provisions of this Agreement prior to taking possession of the Demised Premises;
(c) be liable for any payment of base rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date thereof or any security deposit or any other sums deposited with any prior landlord (including Landlord), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Mortgagee or Acquiring Party, as applicable, provided Tenant will receive credit for its Security Deposit (as defined in the Lease) set forth in Section 3.02 of the Lease to the extent it has not been returned to Tenant and such Security Deposit has actually been received by, or the Letter of Credit (as defined in the Lease) has actually been transferred to, Mortgagee or Acquiring Party, as applicable;
(d) be bound by any material amendment, material modification or termination of the Lease or by any waiver or forbearance on the part of any prior landlord (including Landlord), in either case to the extent the same is made or given without the prior written consent of Mortgagee;
(e) be liable to Tenant for construction or restoration, or delays in construction or restoration, of the Building or the Demised Premises, or for the obligations of any prior landlord (including Landlord) to reimburse Tenant for or indemnify Tenant against any costs, expenses or damages arising from such construction or any delay in Tenants occupancy of the Demised Premises; provided, however, Mortgagee shall be subject to all remedies Tenant may have as set forth in the Lease (excluding a claim for damages against acquiring party) including specifically, without limitation, self-help, offset, abatement and/or termination rights and remedies; or
EXHIBIT E Page 3
(f) be liable to Tenant for payment of any tenant improvement allowance or other similar payment or reimbursement obligation of the landlord (including Landlord) under the terms of the Lease; provided, however, Tenant may offset any of the foregoing amounts against amounts due under the Lease to the extent expressly provided in the Lease and Mortgagee shall be subject to all remedies Tenant may have as set forth in the Lease (excluding a claim for damages against acquiring party) including specifically, without limitation, self-help, offset, abatement and/or termination rights and remedies..
5. Rent. Tenant hereby agrees to and with Mortgagee that, upon receipt from Mortgagee of a notice of any default by Landlord under the Mortgage, Tenant will pay to Mortgagee directly all rents, additional rents and other sums then or thereafter due under the Lease. In the event of the foregoing, Landlord hereby authorizes Tenant to pay to Mortgagee directly all rents, additional rents and other sums then or thereafter due under the Lease. In addition, Landlord hereby indemnifies and holds Tenant harmless from and against (and waives) any and all claims, causes of actions, demands, liabilities, and losses of any kind or nature, including but not limited, to attorneys fees and expenses, sustained by Tenant as a result of any and all claims by third parties claiming through Landlord all or any portion of the rent, additional rents, and other sums due under the Lease which are paid by Tenant directly to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
6. No Amendment. Landlord and Tenant each agree not to amend, modify or terminate the Lease in any manner without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
7. Further Documents. The foregoing provisions shall be self-operative and effective without the execution of any further instruments on the part of any party hereto. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver to Mortgagee or Acquiring Party, as the case may be, or such other person to whom Tenant herein agrees to attorn such other instruments as such party shall reasonably request in order to effectuate said provisions.
8. Notice and Cure. Tenant agrees that if it sends a notice of default to Landlord under the Lease:
(a) A copy of each notice given to Landlord pursuant to the Lease shall also be given simultaneously to Mortgagee, and no such notice shall be effective for any purpose under the Lease unless so given to Mortgagee; and
(b) If Landlord shall fail to cure any default within the time prescribed by the Lease, Tenant shall give further notice of such fact to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remedy any Landlord default under the Lease, or to cause any default of Landlord under the Lease to be remedied and may cure such
EXHIBIT E Page 4
default during the greater of (i) the period Landlord has to cure such default, or (ii) thirty (30) days, and so long as Mortgagee shall commence to cure such default or institute and complete foreclosure proceedings (or otherwise acquire title to the Building) within such thirty (30) day period, Mortgagee shall be allowed such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such default or institute and complete foreclosure proceedings (or otherwise acquire title to the Building). So long as Mortgagee shall be proceeding diligently to cure the defaults that are reasonably susceptible of cure or proceeding diligently to foreclosure the Mortgage, no such default shall operate or permit Tenant to terminate the Lease.
