The legal description for the property on which the Building is located is attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. Gross rentable area measurements herein specified are from the exterior of the perimeter walls of the Building to the center of the interior walls.

 

The exterior walls and roof of the Leased Premises and the areas beneath the Leased Premises are not demised hereunder and the use thereof, together with the right to install, maintain, use, repair, and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, and wires leading through the Leased Premises in locations which do not materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s use thereof and serving other parts of the Building or buildings, are hereby reserved to Landlord. Landlord reserves (a) such access rights through the Leased Premises as may be reasonably necessary to enable access by Landlord to the balance of the Building and reserved areas and elements as set forth above; and (b) the right to install or maintain meters on the Leased Premises to monitor use of utilities. In exercising such rights, Landlord shall give Tenant forty-eight (48) hours prior notice (except in the case of an emergency) and shall use reasonable efforts so as to not commit waste upon the Leased Premises and as far as practicable shall not materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises and shall minimize annoyance, interference or damage to Tenant and the Leased Premises when making modifications, additions or repairs. Landlord shall not be responsible for any damages incurred by Tenant and/or to Tenant’s property occur during the required forty-eight (48) hour notice period.

SECTION 2.02. EXCUSE OF LANDLORD’S PERFORMANCE. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, providing such cause is not due to the willful act or neglect of Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed in default with respect to the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, if the same shall he due to any strike, lockout, civil commotion, war-like operation, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power, sabotage, governmental regulations or controls, inability to obtain any material, service or financing, act of God or other cause beyond the control of Landlord.

 

SECTION 2.03. REVISION OF SITE PLAN. It is expressly agreed that the depiction of the Leased Premises, the Building and the Common Areas on Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “A-1” does not constitute a representation, covenant, or warranty of any kind by Landlord, and Landlord reserves the right to change the size, location, type and number of buildings within the project, and the location, type, design and dimensions of the Common Areas; provided, however, that no such change shall materially alter the Leased Premises or access or visibility thereto.

SECTION 3.01. BASE MONTHLY RENT. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord Base Monthly Rent in the amounts set forth in Sections 1.01(L) and 1.01(M), and 1.01(Y), if applicable, at such place as Landlord may designate, without prior demand therefor, without offset or deduction and in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Rental Term, including any Rental Term extension or renewal thereof, commencing on the Rental Term Commencement Date. In the event the Rental Term Commencement Date (or Delivery of Possession date for Suite 210) occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then Base Monthly Rent to be paid on the Rental Term Commencement Date (or Delivery of Possession, as applicable) shall include both Base Monthly Rent for the first full calendar month occurring after the Rental Term Commencement Date (or Delivery of Possession, as applicable), plus Base Monthly Rent for the initial fractional calendar month pro-rated on a per-diem basis (based upon a thirty (30) day month).

 

SECTION 3.02. ESCALATIONS IN BASE MONTHLY RENT. As set forth in Section 1.01(M).

 

SECTION 3.03. TENANT’S PRO-RATA SHARE OF OPERATING EXPENSES.

For avoidance of doubt: (i) Tenant shall not incur any charges for Operating Expenses for calendar year 2017; (ii) starting in January 2018 and continuing through the Rental Term, Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Operating Expenses shall be calculated by multiplying Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share by the difference of Operating Expenses for the given calendar year minus Landlord’s Share of Operating Expenses.

 

11

 

Landlord shall bill Tenant for Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Operating Expenses, if any, by April 1 of each calendar year of the Rental Term, commencing with 2019. The bill shall identify the total Operating Expenses of the immediately prior calendar year, Landlord’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Operating Expenses thereof. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Operating expenses annually within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefore.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Operating Expenses shall not include the following:

 

(a)               costs of capital repairs, capital alterations or capital replacements (except as specifically permitted herein or as amortized in accordance with GAAP), capital improvements and equipment; except those: (i) required by laws enacted on or after the date of this Lease, with the cost of any such improvements and equipment depreciated on a straight line basis over the useful life of the improvement and/or equipment, or (ii) installed at the Building to reduce Operating Expenses and/or conserve energy, with the cost of any such improvements and equipment depreciated at an annual rate reasonably calculated to equal the amount of Operating Expenses to be saved in each calendar year throughout the Rental Term;

 

(b)              costs incurred in connection with the original construction or design of the Building or in connection with any major change in the Building, such as adding or deleting floors or common areas, costs for the replacement of any roofs in the Building or to the correction of inherent structural defects in the Building or to the initial malfunction of operating equipment;

If in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Leased Premises is taken, either party hereto shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving the other written notice of such election at any time within thirty (30) days after the date of taking. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the space is taken and Landlord determines, in Landlord’s sole discretion, that a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof shall not result in the Leased Premises or the Building becoming a practical improvement reasonably suitable for use for the purpose for which it is designed, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days written notice as provided hereinabove. If Landlord does not commence to repair or rebuild for a period equaling one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the insurance settlement, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. In all other cases, or if neither party exercises its option to terminate, this Lease shall remain in effect and the rent payable hereunder from and after the date of taking shall be proportionately reduced in proportion to the ratio of: (i) the area contained in the Leased Premises which is capable of occupancy after the taking; to (ii) the total area contained in the Leased Premises which was capable of occupancy prior to the taking. In the event of any termination or rental reduction provided for in this Section 18.01, there shall be a proration of the rent payable under this Lease and Landlord shall refund any excess theretofore paid by Tenant. Whether or not this Lease is terminated as a consequence of Condemnation Proceedings, all damages or compensation awarded for a partial or total taking, including any sums compensating Tenant for diminution in the value of or deprivation of its leasehold estate, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord, except that Tenant shall be entitled to any awards intended to compensate Tenant for expenses of locating and moving Tenant’s operations to a new space.

ARTICLE XIX. DEFAULT OF TENANT

 

SECTION 19.01. DEFAULT - RIGHT TO RE-ENTER. In the event of any failure of Tenant to pay any Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due hereunder within ten (10) days after the same shall be due, or any failure by Tenant to perform any other of the terms, conditions or covenants required of Tenant by this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default shall have been mailed to Tenant by registered mail to Tenant’s address as listed in Section 1.01(E) or to such address as Tenant has specified in writing, or if Tenant shall permit this Lease to be taken under any writ of execution, then Landlord, besides other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the right to declare this Lease terminated and the Rental Term ended and shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, without evidence of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Tenant hereby waives all compensation for the forfeiture of the Rental Term or its loss of possession of the Leased Premises in the event of the forfeiture of this Lease as provided for above. Any notice that Landlord may desire or is required to give Tenant with reference to the foregoing provision may, in lieu of mailing, at the option of Landlord, be conspicuously posted for ten (10) consecutive days at the main entrance to or in front of the Leased Premises, and such notice shall constitute a good, sufficient, and lawful notice for the purpose of declaring a forfeiture of this Lease and for terminating all of the rights of Tenant hereunder.

 

35

 

SECTION 19.02. DEFAULT - RIGHT TO RE-LET. Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as provided herein, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to re-let the Leased Premises and may re-let the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Rental Term of this Lease) and at such rent or rental income and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each re-letting, all rental income received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rents due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting, including brokerage fees and attorneys’ fees and costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rents due and unpaid hereunder; and fourth, the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rental income received from such re-letting during any month is less than those payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency immediately to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rents and other charges equivalent to rents reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated Rental Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Rental Term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. In determining the rents which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, subsequent to default, Base Monthly Rent for each year of the unexpired Rental Term shall be equal to the average Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant from the Rental Term Commencement Date to the time of default, or during the preceding three (3) full calendar years, whichever is the greater amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord’s remedies as set forth in the Lease shall be subject to the legal doctrines of mitigation and offset. In exercising its remedies following an event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages and shall use reasonable efforts to re-let the Leased Premises on favorable market terms

 

SECTION 19.03. LEGAL EXPENSES. In case of default by either party in the performance and obligations under this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay all costs incurred in enforcing this Lease, or any right arising out of the breach thereof, whether by suit or otherwise, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

In such event, Tenant or any trustee for Tenant may only assume this Lease if (a) it cures or provides adequate assurance that the trustees shall promptly cure any default hereunder, (b) compensates or provides adequate assurance that Tenant shall promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from Tenant’s defaults, and (c) provides adequate assurance of performance during the fully stated Rental Term hereof of all the terms, covenants, and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. In no event after the assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth herein. Adequate assurance of performance of this Lease, as set forth hereinabove, shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance (1) of the source of rent reserved hereunder, (2) that the assumption of this Lease shall not breach any provision hereunder, and (3) that business operated shall comply with the Permitted Use covenants set forth in Sections 1.01(F) and 7.01. In the event of a filing of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with any services or utilities as herein required, unless Tenant shall have paid and be current in all payments of Operating Expenses, utilities or other charges therefor. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s costs incurred as a result of Tenant’s insolvency and/or bankruptcy proceedings including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of Landlord’s participation in and/or monitoring of Tenant’s insolvency proceeding.

ARTICLE XXVII. MISCELLANEOUS

No breach of a covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord.

Tenant shall not record this Lease without the written consent of Landlord; however, upon the request of either party hereto, the other party shall join in the execution of a memorandum or so-called “short form” of this Lease for the purposes of recordation.
