Landlord shall consult with Tenant as to the progress of such protests but Landlord shall have the right to settle or litigate such taxes or tax valuations as Landlord deems advisable in its reasonable discretion.

Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to operate the office complex in an efficient manner consistent with prudent management practices. If Landlord installs equipment in or makes improvements or alterations to the office complex which are for the purpose of reducing energy costs, maintenance costs or other Operating Expenses or which are required under any governmental laws, regulations, or ordinances which were not required at the date of commencement of the term of this Lease, Landlord may include in Operating Expenses reasonable charges for interest on such investment and reasonable charges for depreciation on the same so as to amortize such investment over the reasonable life of such equipment, improvement or alteration on a straight line basis.

Costs and expenses of employees and equipment of Landlord that are not solely and exclusively engaged in the operation and maintenance of the office complex shall be prorated so that Operating Expenses shall include only the pro rata share of such costs and expenses based on the number of hours such employees perform work or such equipment is used in the operation and maintenance of the office complex.

 

E. The term “Operating Expenses” for any applicable Lease Year shall mean the amount of Operating Expenses payable in respect to such applicable Lease Year.

 

F. The term “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes” shall mean 0.84% of the Real Estate Taxes for the applicable Lease Year, and the term “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses” shall mean 0.84% of the Operating Expenses for the applicable Lease Year.

Additionally, in the event that, at any time, any portion of the office complex has not been converted to office and laboratory space, Landlord shall have the right at its option to make a reasonable allocation of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes between the portion of the office complex that is finished as office and laboratory space and that which is not, such allocation to be made in accordance with BOMA standards to the extent applicable and otherwise on an equitable basis and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses shall be recalculated on the basis of the rentable area of the Premises compared to the rentable area of the office/laboratory portion of the Complex and shall be applied to the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes allocated to the office/laboratory portion of the office complex as provided above. - Rentable area shall in no event include basement storage space designated as such by Landlord or garage space. If the rentable area of the office complex changes an equitable adjustment shall be made.

G. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is agreed that in the event the office complex is not fully occupied during any Lease Year, a reasonable and equitable adjustment to Operating Expenses which vary with occupancy shall be made by Landlord in computing the Operating Expenses for such year so that the Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to the amount that would have been incurred had the office complex been fully occupied during such year.

 

H. Landlord agrees that the provisions of clauses F and G above shall not be interpreted so as to allow Landlord to receive more than 100% of actual Operating Expenses in any Lease Year.

 

As to each Lease Year after the initial Lease Year, Landlord shall reasonably estimate for each such Lease Year (i) the total amount of Real Estate Taxes; (ii) the total amount of Operating Expenses; (iii) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes; (iv) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses; (v) the computation of the annual and monthly rental payable during such Lease Year as a result of increases or decreases in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses. Said estimate in reasonable detail shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed to Tenant at the notice addresses contained in this Lease.

 

Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes for each Lease Year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for each Lease Year, so estimated, in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each month during each applicable Lease Year. In the event that said estimate is delivered to Tenant after the first day of January of the applicable Lease Year, said amount, so estimated, shall be payable as Additional Rent, in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each month over the balance of such Lease Year, with the number of installments being equal to the number of full calendar months remaining in such Lease Year.

 

During any applicable Lease Year, Landlord may reasonably reestimate the amount of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof, and in such event Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of such reestimate in the manner above set forth and fix monthly installments for the then remaining balance of such Lease Year in an amount sufficient to pay the reestimated amount over the balance of such Lease Year after giving credit for payments made by Tenant on the previous estimate. Any such reestimate shall also be in reasonable detail.

Upon completion of each Lease Year, Landlord shall cause its accountants to determine the actual amount of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for such Lease Year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof and deliver a written certification in reasonable detail of the amounts thereof to Tenant after the end of each Lease Year. If Tenant has paid less than its Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes or its Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for any Lease Year, Tenant shall pay the balance of its Pro Rata Share of the same within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such statement. If Tenant has paid more than its Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes or its Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for any Lease Year, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s option, either (i) promptly refund such excess, or (ii) credit such excess against the most current monthly installment or installments due Landlord for its estimate of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for the next following Lease Year. A pro rata adjustment shall be made for a fractional Lease Year occurring during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof based upon the number of days of the term of this Lease during said Lease Year as compared to three hundred sixty-five (365) days and all additional sums payable by Tenant or credits due Tenant as a result of the provisions of this Section 9 shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

Further, Tenant shall pay, also as Additional Rent, any tax or excise on rents, gross receipts tax, or other tax, however described, which is levied or assessed by the United States of America or the state in which the office complex is located or any political subdivision thereof, against Landlord in respect to the Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges reserved under this Lease or as a result of Landlord’s receipt of such rents or other charges accruing under this Lease (but only to the extent such tax as a result of such receipt by Landlord is reasonably allocable to the rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease); provided, however, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay net income taxes of Landlord.

 

10.Parking, Other Services. Tenant shall have the right to use the parking lot adjacent to the Premises for its employees and guests. Parking in that lot shall be unrestricted, except for handicap, visitor parking areas and such other areas as Landlord may designate from time to time. If Tenant anticipates special parking needs for contractors, oversized vehicle, or special events arrangements should be made with the landlord to avoid inconveniencing other tenants. In the event that Landlord shall provide, or arrange to provide services to Tenant, such as secretarial, clerical, or administrative assistance from employees of Landlord or others who are located at University Enterprise Laboratory Inc., and including chargeable services provided on the Landlord’s internet facilities, known as UELnet, and Tenant shall elect to use such services, Tenant agrees to promptly pay the applicable charges as they may be determined from time to time. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any such services except pursuant to written agreement between Landlord and Tenant.

 

11.Fees, Assessments and Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay and discharge, as they become due, promptly and before delinquency, all charges, license fees, whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, of every nature and kind whatsoever which may be levied, assessed, charged or in respect of Tenant’s operations on and occupancy of the Premises except real estate taxes.

 

12.Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as they become due and before any delinquency whatsoever, all personal property taxes, assessments, rates, license fees, municipal liens, levies, excises or imports of every nature and kind levied, assessed, charged, or imposed on or against Tenant’s leasehold interest or personal property of any kind owned or placed in the Premises by Tenant.

13.Condition and Use, Environmental. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for office and laboratory use and uses incidental thereto and for no other purpose without Landlord’s prior written permission, which permission may be withheld by Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. No use shall be permitted, or acts done, which may cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Premises nor shall Tenant sell, permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Premises any article which may be prohibited from the standard form of fire insurance policy. Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with all requirements pertaining to the Premises imposed by any insurance company for the continued maintenance of insurance required by this Lease. Tenant shall use UELnet only for purposes consistent with Tenant’s current business and shall not abuse or misuse the UELnet. Tenant is fully familiar with the physical condition of the Premises, improvements and equipment and has received the same in good order and condition. Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Premises, improvements and equipment, or its fitness or availability for any particular use, and Landlord shall not be liable for any latent or patent defect unknown to Landlord. By execution of this Lease, Tenant accepts the Premises, improvements and equipment “as is.” Except as to minor amounts of chemicals generally used in most offices (such as copier toner) and minor amounts of cleaning supplies, Tenant shall not bring any materials onto the Office complex or allow under its authority any materials to be brought onto the Office complex which are so-called “Hazardous Waste” or “Hazardous Materials” under federal or state environmental laws which would subject Landlord or Tenant to liability for clean up or other damages if such were spilled, released or disposed of (through storm sewers or otherwise) on the Office complex and not in operations or processes of Tenant. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall not bring onto the Premises or generate, transport, store, treat or dispose of the following Hazardous Materials, or products or mixtures containing these Hazardous Materials: arsenic, cadmium, lead, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 1,1,1 trichloroethane or its breakdown components (e.g., vinyl chloride), or 1,1 dichloroethane or its breakdown components. Tenant shall handle any Hazardous Materials brought onto or used by the Tenant at the Premises in accordance with applicable laws and prudent industry practice.

 

Tenant shall at all times and in all respects (as to materials and substances brought onto or into the Office complex by Tenant or its employees or separate contractors) comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations (“Hazardous Materials Laws”) relating to the industrial hygiene, environmental protection or the use, analysis, generation, manufacture, storage, presence, disposal or transportation of any oil, flammable explosives, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, polychlorinated biphenyls, radioactive materials or waste, or other hazardous toxic, contaminated or polluting materials, substances or wastes, including without limitation any “hazardous substances”, hazardous wastes”, “hazardous materials” or “toxic substances” under any such laws, ordinances or regulations (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”).

Tenant shall at its own expense procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for Tenant’s use of the Premises, including, without limitation, discharge of (appropriately treated) materials or waste into or through any sanitary sewer system serving the Premises. Except as discharged into the sanitary sewer in strict accordance and conformity with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, Tenant shall cause any and all Hazardous Materials introduced by Tenant or its employees or its separate contractors into the Premises or Office complex to be removed from the Premises and the Office complex upon completion of Tenant’s use thereof and, in any event, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease, and, to the extent required by applicable law, such Hazardous Materials shall be transported solely by duly licensed haulers to duly licensed facilities for final disposal. Tenant shall in all respects handle, treat, deal with and manage any and all Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises and Office complex in complete conformity with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and prudent industry practices regarding the management of such Hazardous Materials. All reporting obligations imposed by Hazardous Materials Laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials introduced by Tenant or its employees or its separate contractors are solely the responsibility of Tenant. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall cause all Hazardous Materials to be removed from the Premises and Office complex and transported for use, storage or disposal in accordance with and in complete compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, about or under the Premises and Office complex or in any Improvement situated on the Land, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise in respect to any claims relating to any Hazardous Materials in any way connected with the Premises and the Office complex or the improvements on the Land without first notifying Landlord of Tenant’s intention to do so and affording Landlord ample opportunity to appear, intervene or otherwise appropriately assert and protect Landlord’s interest with respect thereto. In addition, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall remove all of its tanks or fixtures which contain or contained or are contaminated with Hazardous Materials introduced by Tenant or its employees or separate contractors into or onto the Office complex.

 

If Landlord has good faith reason to believe that unauthorized Hazardous Materials introduced by Tenant or its employees or its separate contractors may exist on or in respect to the Premises or Office complex, or that Hazardous Materials may have been spilled or disposed of or treated or handled by Tenant, its employees or its separate contractors in violation of the provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to undertake and submit to Landlord an environmental audit from an environmental company reasonably acceptable to Landlord, which audit shall evidence Tenant’s compliance with this provision. Landlord may, at its expense, commission an environmental audit of the Premises or the Office complex at any time after prior written notice to Tenant.

 

Tenant shall be responsible only for that part of the cost of compliance with Hazardous Materials laws which relates to a breach by Tenant of the covenants contained in this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant, including but not limited to the covenants contained in this Section.

14.Waste and Nuisance; Rules. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations affecting the Premises and Tenant’s business and use of such Premises, including without limitation rules established by the University of Wisconsin concerning the use of the UELnet. Tenant shall also comply with any rules and regulations Landlord shall promulgate as reasonably necessary for the operation of University Enterprise Laboratory, Inc., including parking, Common Areas, UELnet, and other Center facilities in a manner that is efficient and beneficial to Landlord, Tenant, and all other tenants. Tenant shall not commit, or permit to be committed, any waste or nuisance on the Premises.

 

15.Right of Entry; Furnishing Information. Tenant shall permit Landlord, its agents and employees, upon reasonable prior notice, to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times, and promptly, within three (3) days of Landlord’s request, for the purpose of inspecting the same (including without limitation inspections for determining the compliance by any laboratory and animal operations with minimum health and safety requirements or standards) or for the purpose of posting notices of availability for rent without any rebate or abatement of rent and without any liability for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises. For purposes of this Section, the standards set forth in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animal (which outlines the rules and regulations of the Animal Welfare Act and the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals) shall constitute such minimum standards. In addition, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant will promptly, within three days of Landlord’s request, furnish to Landlord copies of all reports, filings and records required to be maintained by Tenant with respect to hazardous materials located or used in the Leased Premises, including all “Material Safety Data Sheets.”

 

16.Use of Common Areas. Landlord and Tenant shall not take any action to obstruct the Common Areas as depicted on Exhibit A, and each shall make reasonable efforts to prevent obstruction of such Common Areas by their employees, agents, customers, licensees, invitees, tenants and subtenants. Landlord agrees to include in any leases which provide for the lease of all or part of the Common Areas, a provision or provisions which will restrict its tenants from obstructing the Common Areas and requires any such tenants to make reasonable efforts to prevent obstruction of the Common Areas.

 

17.Smoke-Free Environment. The Premises shall be a smoke-free environment. No smoking shall be permitted anywhere in the building or in or around the main entrance to the building.

19.Casualty Insurance. Landlord shall, at all times during the term of this Lease, at Landlord’s sole expense, keep the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire and extended coverage hazards.

 

20.Public Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense but for the mutual benefit of Landlord, its managing agent and Tenant, maintain commercial general liability and/or umbrella liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises, such insurance to afford protection to Landlord, its managing agent and Tenant to the limit of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) single limit coverage on an occurrence basis. Such policies of insurance shall be written in companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, naming Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent as additional insureds thereunder, and such policies, or a memorandum or certificate of such insurance, shall be delivered to Landlord. Failure to deliver such memorandum or certificate to Landlord within five days after a written demand therefore shall be a default under this Lease. At such time as insurance limits required of tenants in office buildings in the area in which the office complex is located are generally increased to greater amounts, Landlord shall have the right to require such greater limits as may then be customary. To the extent such coverage is generally available, Tenant agrees to include in such policy the contractual liability coverage insuring Tenant’s indemnification obligations provided for herein. Any such coverage shall be deemed primary and non-contributing to any liability coverage secured by Landlord.

 

Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord and its managing agent harmless against and from any and all claims by or on behalf of any third parties unaffiliated with Landlord, arising from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or arising from any willful act or gross negligence on the part of Tenant or its agents, contractors, or employees, or arising from any accident, injury or damage to the extent caused by Tenant, or its contractors, agents and employees to any person, firm or corporation occurring during the term of this Lease or any renewal thereof, in or about the Premises and office complex, and from and against all costs, reasonable counsel fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord or its managing agent by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, covenants to resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

 

10
 

 

Except in the case of intentional damage to property or a negligent act or failure to act by Landlord, Tenant agrees, to the extent not expressly prohibited by law, that Landlord and its agents, employees, servants, and contractors shall not be liable, and Tenant waives all claims for damage to property and business sustained by Tenant during the term of this Lease by Tenant occurring in or about the office complex, resulting directly or indirectly from any existing or future condition, defect, matter or thing in the Premises, the office complex, or any part thereof, or from equipment or appurtenances becoming out of repair or from accident, or from any occurrence or act or omission of Landlord and its agents, employees, servants, and contractors, or any tenant or occupant of the Building or any other person. This paragraph shall apply especially, but not exclusively, to damage caused as aforesaid or by the flooding of basements or other subsurface areas, or by refrigerators, sprinkling devices, air conditioning apparatus, water, snow, frost, steam, excessive heat or cold, falling plaster, broken glass, sewage, gas, odors or noise, or the bursting or leaking of pipes or plumbing fixtures, and shall apply equally, whether any such damage results from the act or omission of other tenants or occupants in the office complex or any other persons, and whether such damage be caused by or result from any of the aforesaid, or shall be caused by or result from other circumstances of a similar or dissimilar nature.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any damage to the office complex results from any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees, and all or any portion of Landlord’s loss is “deductible,” Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deductible loss (not to exceed $5,000 per event). All property in the office complex or on the Premises belonging to Tenant, and its employees and affiliates, or otherwise located at the Premises, shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and Landlord shall not be liable for damage thereto or theft, misappropriation or loss thereof and Tenant agrees to defend and hold Landlord and its agents and employees and contractors harmless and indemnify them against claims and liability for injuries to such property or loss of use thereof.

 

21.Loss and Damage. Tenant shall be solely responsible for carrying personal property insurance sufficient to cover loss of all personal property on the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of property of Tenant or others located on the Premises except to the extent such damage or loss was caused by Landlord’s negligent or willful act. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, snow or leaks from any part of the Premises, or from pipes, appliances or plumbing works, or from any other place, or by dampness, or by any other cause of any nature except to the extent such injury or damage was caused by Landlord’s negligent or willful act or failure to act. Landlord shall not be liable for any such damage caused by persons on the Premises, occupants of adjacent property or the public, or caused by construction of any private, public, or quasi-public work except to the extent such damage was caused by Landlord’s own negligent or willful act or failure to act. Landlord shall not be liable for any latent defect in the Premises.

 

22.Certificate of Insurance. Tenant and Landlord shall, with respect to any insurance coverage required in this Lease, furnish the other with certificates of insurance evidencing required insurance coverage, which certificates shall state that the other party will be notified in writing ten (10) days prior to cancellation, material change or non- renewal of insurance.

The obligations of Tenant under this section shall survive any termination of this Lease. If Landlord does not approve of counsel designated by Tenant, then Landlord may designate counsel of its choice who shall defend at the expense of Tenant.

27.Total Condemnation. In the event the entire Premises or such part of the Premises as will render the remainder unsuitable for Tenant’s use, shall be appropriated or taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, this Lease, except as herein provided, shall terminate and expire as of the date of taking.

 

28.Partial Condemnation. In the event of partial condemnation, not rendering the remainder of the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s use, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, with the exception that rent, additional rent, utility charges and any other tenant expenses or charges under this Lease shall be adjusted to reasonably reflect the portion of the Premises, if any, lost by condemnation.

 

29.Condemnation Award. In the event of partial condemnation of the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, then Tenant shall have the right to make claim against the condemning or taking authority for the unamortized cost of improvements placed on the Premises by Tenant and located thereon at the time of the taking or appropriation.

 

30.Notice of Default. Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder in the payment of rent or the payment of any other moneys as herein required or in the furnishing of any bond or insurance policy when required herein unless Landlord first gives Tenant written notice of such default and Tenant fails to cure the default within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, except if Landlord shall have twice previously given Tenant notice of default during the term hereof, Landlord shall not be required to give any further notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will be deemed in Default, and no notice will be required, if Tenant pays any two (2) monthly Rent amounts late in any one (1) twelve (12) month period. Except as to the provisions or events referred to in the preceding sentence of this section, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder unless Landlord shall first give to Tenant thirty (30) days written notice of default, and Tenant fails to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period or, if the default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant fails to commence to cure such default within such period of thirty (30) days or fails thereafter to proceed to the curing of such default with all possible diligence.

31.Default. In the event of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord, in addition to the other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord has notified Tenant of such breach and given Tenant a reasonable time to cure and Tenant has failed to do so. Tenant’s property may, in such event, be removed by Landlord and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant. Should Landlord elect to re-enter as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease re-let the Premises, or any part thereof, for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. On each such re-letting:

 

(a)Tenant shall be immediately liable to pay to Landlord, in addition to any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder, the expenses of such re-letting and of such alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord, and in the amount, if any, by which the rent reserved in this Lease for the period of such re-letting (up to, but not beyond, the term of this Lease) exceeds the amount agreed to be paid as rent for the Premises for such period on such re-letting; or

 

(b)At the option of Landlord, rents received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any expenses of re-letting and alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder. The residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent payments as the same may become due and payable hereunder.

 

If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such re-letting under option (a), hereof, and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the new tenant, or if such rentals received from such re-letting under option (b), hereof, during any month is less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord 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 any breach, in addition to any other remedy it may have Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages incurred by reason of such breach, including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.

 

In the event of any material breach of this Lease by Landlord, Tenant in addition to the other rights and remedies it may have, including without limitation, abatement of rent and/or money damages, shall have the right on thirty (30) days written notice of default (or if the default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, Landlord fails to commence to cure such default within such period of thirty (30) days or fails thereafter to proceed to the curing of such default with all reasonable diligence) to terminate this lease,

Tenant understands that Landlord is relying upon the accuracy of the information contained therein to determine the credit worthiness of the Tenant. Should there be found to exist any inaccuracy within the financial statement or material changes which adversely affect Tenant’s financial standing, Landlord may, at its option, demand additional security in the form of additional security deposit, pre-payment of Rent, additional corporate or personal guarantees or may elect to terminate this Lease. Any financial information supplied by Tenant shall be treated as highly confidential and proprietary information belonging to the Tenant, and shall be used by Landlord only for the purposes contemplated by this Section 32.

33.Tenant’s Assignment. Tenant shall not assign this Lease, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all subleases and with such information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require.

 

35.Assignment of Subleases.

(f)Stating any such other information as Landlord may reasonably require.

 

Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord similar estoppel certificates executed by Tenant’s sublessees.

 

39.Accord and Satisfaction. No payment received by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent or other charges shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent or other charges nor shall any statement on a check or any letter accompanying a payment of rent or other charges be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of rent or other charges or pursue any remedy in this Lease.

 

40.Entire Agreement. This Lease, the Data Sheet, and Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, set forth all covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understanding between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises.

This section shall not excuse Tenant from prompt payment of rent, additional rent or any other payments required by this Lease.

 

16
 

 

43.Waiver. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein shall not be deemed a waiver of the term, covenant or condition.

No covenant, term or condition of this Lease shall be waived by Landlord or Tenant, unless the waiver is in writing signed by Landlord or Tenant.

THIS AGREEMENT, made effective as of the______day of___________, 20___, by and between IGF ONCOLOGY, LLC (“Tenant”), whose mailing address is 1000 Westgate Drive, Suite 120B, St, Paul, Minnesota 55114, and SUNRISE NEW MARKETS FUND XVI, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Lender”), whose mailing address is 2525 Wabash Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55114, and/or its participants, successors or assigns.

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

A. WHEREAS, by [LEASE] dated as of November 28, 2018 (hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”), UEL REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS, LLC (“Landlord”), leased and rented to Tenant a portion of the real property legally described on the attached Exhibit A (the “Property”); and

 

B. WHEREAS, Landlord has obtained a loan from Lender secured by, among other things, a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Financing Statement encumbering, among other things, the Property (the “Mortgage”), and as a condition to making such loan, it was agreed between Landlord and Lender that Landlord would obtain from Tenant certain written agreements; and

 

C. WHEREAS, Tenant and Lender desire hereby to establish certain rights, safeguards, obligations and priorities with respect to their respective interests by means of the following agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Tenant and Lender agree as follows:

 

1. The Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and to all of the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, to all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the full extent of the principal sum, interest thereon and other amounts from time to time secured thereby, and to any renewal, substitution, extension, modification or replacement thereof, including any increase in the indebtedness secured thereby or any supplements thereto. In the event that Lender or any other person (the Lender, any other such person and their successors and assigns being referred to herein as the “Purchaser”) acquires title to the Property pursuant to the exercise of any remedy provided for in the Mortgage or by reason of the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to and recognize and be bound to Purchaser as its new Landlord, and subject to the other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between Tenant and Purchaser.

 

24
 

 

2. So long as the Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant shall not be in default under any provision of the Lease or this Agreement, and no event has occurred which has continued to exist for a period of time (after notice, if any, required by the Lease) as would entitle Landlord to terminate the Lease or would cause, without further action by Landlord, the termination of the Lease or would entitle Landlord to dispossess the Tenant thereunder:

 

a. the right of possession of Tenant to the Property shall not be terminated or disturbed by any steps or proceedings taken by Lender in the exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage; and

 

b. the Lease shall not be terminated or affected by said exercise of any remedy provided for in the Mortgage, and Lender hereby covenants that any sale by it of the Property pursuant to the exercise of any rights and remedies under the Mortgage or otherwise, shall be made subject to the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder.

 

3. In no event shall Lender or any other Purchaser be:

 

a. liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord;

 

b. liable for the return of any security deposit which has not been delivered to the Purchaser;

 

c. subject to any offsets or defenses which the Tenant might have against any prior landlord;

 

d. bound by any payment of base rent or additional rent which the Tenant might have paid to any prior landlord for more than the current month;

 

e. bound by any provisions of the Lease regarding commencement or completion of construction of the Property; or

 

f. bound by any warranties of construction provided by Landlord under the Lease.

 

4. Tenant agrees to give prompt written notice to Lender of any default by the Landlord under the Lease which would entitle Tenant to cancel the Lease or abate the rent payable thereunder, and agrees that notwithstanding any provision of Lease, no notice of cancellation thereof shall be effective unless Lender has received the notice aforesaid and has failed within 30 days of the date of receipt thereof to cure, or if the default cannot be cured within 30 days, has failed to commence and to pursue diligently the cure of the Landlord’s default which gave rise to such right of cancellation or abatement. Tenant further agrees to give such notices to any successor-in-interest of Lender, provided that such successor-in-interest shall have given written notice to Tenant of its acquisition of Lender’s interest in the Mortgage and designated the address to which such notices are to be sent.

 

25
 

 

5. Tenant acknowledges that, under the terms of the Mortgage, Landlord has assigned to Lender the rentals under the Lease as additional security for said loan, and Tenant hereby expressly consents to and recognizes such assignment, and agrees to pay the rent to Lender or its nominee whenever Lender claims or requests the rent under the terms of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Purchaser’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Purchaser’s (or is successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in the Property from time to time. Tenant shall look exclusively to Purchaser for payment or discharge of any obligations of Purchaser under the Lease as affected by this Agreement. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Purchaser with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Purchaser and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Purchaser’s interest in the Property to collect such judgment. Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of the Purchaser.

 

6. Tenant agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, do any of the following, and any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against Lender:
