LESSOR and LESSEE covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.1 STANDARD OF MEASUREMENT

 

  a.) Useable Square Footage

 

Is that area from the center of the tenant demising wall to the center of the opposite tenant demising wall which is established by the American National Standard Method of Measurement of Office Floor Space (ANSI Z65.1-1980) and the Building Owners and Manager Association (BOMA).

 

  b.) Load Factor

 

Is a percentage of all the Building common areas such as Building lobby, elevator lobbies, common hallways, common restrooms, common utility service closets, common conference room, common canteen/kitchen lounge areas and designated smoking areas. Not calculated is vertical floor penetrations such as stairways, elevator shafts or mechanical shafts.

 

  c.) Rentable Square Footage

 

Is the calculated useable square footage plus a percentage of the common area of the Building. The total of the two equal rentable square footage.

 

Formula:

1,685 useable square feet + 10% Load Factor = 1,854 rentable square feet

 

Note:        The actual common area square footage may exceed the Load Factor of this Lease.

 

  d.) These square footages are approximations only and may vary from the actual square footage. Prior to occupancy LESSEE may inspect and measure the Premises to confirm the square footage. As of occupancy LESSEE shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises, and will be deemed to have waived any objection to the square footage approximations set forth herein.

 

2.1 DELIVERY OF POSSESSION

 

Should LESSOR be unable to deliver possession of the Premises on the date fixed for the Commencement Date of the term, the Commencement Date will be deferred and LESSEE shall owe no rent until receiving notice from LESSOR tendering possession to LESSEE. If possession is not so tendered within 90 days following the Commencement Date of the term, then LESSEE may elect to cancel this LEASE by providing written notice to LESSOR within 10 days following expiration of the 90 day period. LESSOR shall have no liability to LESSEE for delay in delivering possession, nor shall such delay extend the term of this LEASE in any manner.

 

2.2 EARLY POSSESSION

 

If LESSEE occupies the Premises prior to said Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions of this LEASE, such occupancy shall not advance the Expiration Date, and LESSEE shall pay rent for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth above.

LESSOR INITIAL             LESSEE INITIAL            


2.3 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES

 

Except as may be provided for in any exhibit, appendix or rider hereto, occupancy shall be construed to mean that LESSEE expressly acknowledges that it has fully inspected the Premises and accepts the Premises in their present condition. LESSEE further acknowledges LESSOR shall not be responsible for any alterations, improvements or repairs unless by written agreement of the parties, attached to and made a part of this LEASE.

 

3.1 RENT PAYMENT

 

Upon LESSEE’S execution of the LEASE, LESSEE shall pay the Base Rent for the first calendar month of the LEASE term for which rent is payable. LESSEE shall pay the Base Rent for the Premises and any additional charges provided herein without deduction or offset. Rent for any partial month during the lease term shall be prorated to reflect the number of days during the month that LESSEE occupies the Premises based on a thirty (30) day month/360 day year. Rent or any additional charges not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month until paid in full. LESSOR may at its option impose a late charge of .10 for each $1 due or $50.00, whichever is greater, for rent or other additional charges paid made more than 10 days after its due date in lieu of interest for the first month of delinquency, without waiving any other remedies available for default.

 

4.1 SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

Concurrently with the execution of this LEASE by the LESSEE, LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR two-thousand one-hundred sixty-three and no/100 dollars ($2,163.00) as security for the full, timely and faithful performance by LESSEE of every covenant and condition of this LEASE. It is expressly understood and agreed the security deposit is not an advance of rental deposit or a measure of LESSOR’S damages in the case of a default. This deposit shall not bear interest. The security deposit shall not be considered a trust fund. LESSOR does not represent that LESSOR is acting as a trustee or in any fiduciary capacity in controlling or using LESSEE’S security deposit as provided for herein. If LESSEE shall default with respect to any covenant or condition of this LEASE, LESSOR may apply the whole or part of such security deposit to the payment of any sum in default or any other sum which LESSOR may be required to spend by reason of LESSEE’S default. In such event, LESSEE shall upon demand immediately pay to LESSOR the amount necessary to restore the security deposit to its original amount. When the Base Rent is adjusted per the terms of this LEASE, an additional amount shall be paid to bring the security deposit amount equal to the newly adjusted Base Rent amount. If LESSEE, complies with all of the covenants and conditions of this LEASE, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to the LESSEE within sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date of the lease term.

 

5.1 USE

 

LESSEE shall use the Premises for professional business office use only with no retail sales or manufacturing and for no other purpose without LESSOR’S consent. In connection with its use, LESSEE shall at its expense promptly comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any public authority and shall not annoy, obstruct, or interfere with the rights of the other tenants of the Building. LESSEE shall create no nuisance nor allow any objectionable fumes, noise, or vibrations to be emitted from the Premises.

(b) LESSEE’S failure to comply with any other term or condition within 10 days following written notice from LESSOR specifying the noncompliance. If such noncompliance cannot be cured within this 10 day period, the provision shall be satisfied if LESSEE commences correction within such period and thereafter proceeds in good faith and with reasonable diligence to effect compliance as soon as possible. Time is of the essence in the performance of this LEASE.

 

(c) The making by LESSEE of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against LESSEE of a petition to have LESSEE adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition or reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against LESSEE, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); or the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially of all LESSEE’S assets located at the Premises or of LESSEE’S interest in this LEASE, where possession is not restored to LESSEE within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of LESSEE’S assets located at the Premises or of LESSEE’S interest in this LEASE, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

(a) LESSOR may terminate the LEASE and retake possession of the Premises. Following such retaking of possession, efforts by LESSOR to relet the Premises shall be sufficient if LESSOR follows its usual procedure for finding tenants for the space at rates not less than the current rates for other comparable space in the Building. If LESSOR has other vacant space in the Building, prospective tenants may be placed in such other space without prejudice to LESSOR’S claim to damages or loss of rental from LESSEE.

 

(b) LESSOR may recover all damages caused by LESSEE’S default which shall include an amount equal to rentals lost because of the default, lease commissions paid for this LEASE, the unamortized cost of any tenant improvements installed by LESSOR to meet LESSEE’S special requirements and the cost of any clean up, refurbishing, lock changes and removal of the LESSEE’S property and fixtures. LESSOR may sue periodically to recover damages as they occur throughout the lease term, and no action for accrued damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing. LESSOR may elect in any one action to recover accrued damages plus damages attributable to the remaining term of the LEASE. Such damages shall be measured based upon the rent due under this LEASE for the remainder of the term, discounted to the time of judgment at the prevailing interest rates on judgments.

LESSEE shall remove all of its furnishings and trade fixtures that remain its property and restore all damage resulting from such removal. Failure to remove shall be an abandonment of the property and LESSOR may dispose of it in any manner without liability and LESSEE shall pay a reasonable charge for such removal and disposal. If LESSEE fails to vacate the Premises when required, including failure to remove all its personal property, LESSOR may elect either: (1) to treat LESSEE as a tenant from month to month, subject to all the provisions of this LEASE except that rent shall be one-and-one-half (1 1/2) times the total rent being charged when the lease term expired; or (2) to eject LESSEE from the Premises and recover damages caused by wrongful holdover.

32.1 NOTICE TO OWNERS, BUYERS, AND TENANTS REGARDING

HAZARDOUS WASTES OR SUBSTANCES UNDERGROUND STORAGE

TANKS

 

Comprehensive Federal and State laws and regulations have been enacted in the last few years in an effort to develop controls over the use, storage, handling, cleanup, removal and disposal of hazardous wastes or substances. Some of these laws and regulations, such as, for example, the so-called “Superfund Act”, provide for broad liability schemes wherein an owner, tenant or other user of the property may be liable for cleanup costs and damages regardless of fault. Other laws and regulations set standards for the handling of asbestos or establish requirements for the use, modification, abandonment or closing of underground storage tanks.

 

(10)

LESSOR INITIAL             LESSEE INITIAL            


It is not practical or possible to list all such laws and regulations in this LEASE. Therefore, owners, buyers and tenants are urged to consult legal counsel to determine their respective rights and liabilities with respect to the issues described in this notice as well as all other aspects of the proposed transaction. If hazardous wastes or substances have been, or are going to be used, stored, handled or disposed of on the property, or if the property has or may have underground storage tanks, it is essential that legal and technical advice be obtained to determine, among other things, what permits and approvals have been or may be required, if any, the estimated costs and expenses associated with the use, storage, handling, cleanup, removal or disposal of the hazardous wastes or substances and what contractual provisions and protections are necessary or desirable. It may also be important to obtain expert assistance for site investigations as to the likelihood of hazardous wastes or substances, or underground storage tanks being on the property.

 

Although LESSOR will disclose any knowledge it actually possesses with respect to the existence of hazardous wastes or substances, or underground storage tanks on the property, LESSOR has not made investigations or obtained reports regarding the subject matter of this notice, except as may be described in a separate written document signed by LESSOR. LESSOR makes no representations regarding the existence or nonexistence of hazardous wastes or substances, or underground storage tanks on the property. You should contact a professional, such as a civil engineer, geologist, industrial hygienist or other persons with experience in these matters to advise you concerning the property.

 

The term “hazardous wastes or substances” is used in this notice in its very broadest sense and includes, but is not limited to petroleum base products, paints and solvents, lead cyanide, DDT, printing inks, acids, pesticides, ammonium compounds, asbestos, PCBs and other chemical products. Hazardous wastes or substances and underground storage tanks may be present on all types of real property. This notice is therefore meant to apply to any transaction involving any type of real property, whether improved or unimproved.

 

33.1 MODIFICATION

 

This LEASE may not be modified except by endorsement in writing attached to this LEASE, dated and signed by all the parties hereto, and LESSOR shall not be bound by any oral or written statement of any servant, agent, or employee modifying this LEASE.

 

34.1 PARTIES AFFECTED

 

The rights, liabilities and remedies provided for herein shall extend to the heirs, legal representatives, successors and, so far as the terms of this LEASE permit, assigns of the parties hereto, and the words “LESSOR” and “LESSEE” and their accompanying verbs or pronouns, wherever used in this LEASE, shall apply equally to all persons, firms, or corporations which may be or become parties hereto.

 

35.1 SECURITY

 

LESSEE and not LESSOR, is responsible for security of the Premises. Any breach in security of the Premises, common areas, common access doors, and/or elevators shall not constitute an eviction of the LESSEE or relieve LESSEE from any of LESSEE’S obligations under this LEASE. All tenants shall have the responsibility for maintaining the security to common access. LESSOR may modify the type or amount of security measures or services provided to the Building or the Premises at any time without notice.

36.1 RIGHT TO RELOCATE

 

LESSOR hereby reserves the right at any time during the term hereof to change the location of the Premises in the Building or other acceptable property as may be required. In the event LESSOR elects to exercise the foregoing option it shall advise LESSEE with sixty (60) days prior written notice of its intention. If LESSEE does not accept relocation space this LEASE will terminate at end of sixty (60) day notice period. LESSEE hereby agrees to be bound by its election to relocate or terminate this LEASE and, further, to execute upon receipt from LESSOR, whatever amendments or other instruments may be required to correctly reflect the foregoing changes and/or alterations. LESSOR shall relocate LESSEE at LESSOR’S sole expense. LESSEE shall be relocated to a premise of like kind and quality.

 

37.1 COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT (CPI)

 

The Base Rental will be adjusted on the rental adjustment dates described in Section 37.2 based on the following factors:

 

The percentage increase in the yearly Consumer Price Index for U.S. City average (all urban consumers), as of March 2004 and the same Consumer Price Index as of March 2005, and on the same month of each year of the LEASE term. Such information will be secured from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Said increase shall be subject to a minimum annual increase of 3% and a maximum annual increase of 5%.

 

37.2 RENTAL ADJUSTMENT DATES

 

June 1, 2005

June 1, 2006

 

37.3 UTILITY ADJUSTMENT

 

LESSEE shall pay as Additional Rent, one (1) time per year, LESSEE’S proportionate share of any increase in basic utility costs for the Building.

 

The base period shall be March 2003 to February 2004, during which time the actual utility costs were $ to be determined (this amount shall be provided to LESSEE after LEASE signing date). The comparison period shall be defined as the twelve calendar month period directly following the base period and every consecutive twelve calendar month period thereafter. The actual utility costs shall be defined as all Building meter accounts paid by the Lessor. For the purposes of the utility adjustment, the Utility Building size shall be the actual useable square feet less any space separately metered or submetered or 16,930 square feet and the LESSEE’S pro-rata share is 9.95% which is based on the actual Premises useable square feet divided by the Utility Building size. Since the useable square feet of the Building can change, the above Utility Building size and LESSEE’S prorata share is subject to change.

 

The one (1) time per year utility payment, if any, shall be paid by the LESSEE every June 1st starting June 1, 2005 and shall be calculated as follows:

 

First, before any comparison of utility costs is made, the adjusted actual entire Building base period utility cost paid by the Lessor shall be increased by the CPI percentage change for the same period (see Section 37.1) to create an “adjusted” base amount. Next, the “adjusted” base period utility amount shall be subtracted from the comparison period adjusted actual entire Building utility cost. Last, the difference shall be multiplied by the LESSEE’S pro-rata share. This amount will be due and payable as a one (1) time per year Additional Rent charge paid by the LESSEE every June 1st starting June 1, 2005. An example is as follows:

2.)    Building Tenants who pay their utilities direct on separate meters or separately read submeters    2,500 useable sq. ft.    
3.)    Adjusted Building Size    17,500 useable sq. ft.    
4.)    LESSEE’S Premises =    1,000 useable sq. ft.    
5.)    LESSEE’S pro-rata share =    5.7%    
6.)    Actual Utility Costs during Base Period for Entire Building    $17,500.00   ($1.00/rsf/yr)
7.)    CPI Increase    x            3%    
8.)    “Adjusted” Utility Costs Base Period    $18,025.00    
9.)    Actual Utility Costs during Comparison Period for Entire Building    $19,600.00   (12% increase)
10.)    Difference between Comparison Period and “Adjusted” Base Period    $1,575.00    
11.)    Tenant’s annual Pro-rata Share 5.7% or $89.78, which is a one (1) time per year payment made by the LESSEE.    

 

38.1 SMOKING - ENTIRE

 

NON-SMOKING BUILDING

 

The Building in which the Premises is located has been designated as an entire NON-SMOKING Building. This includes all areas of the Building, both common areas as well as individual tenant spaces. Thus, smoking in the Premises is not permitted. Because of the fact that some tenants’ leases were in existence prior to the adoption of the entire building non-smoking policy, these tenants have the right, if they choose, to smoke in their Premises only, but do have a LEASE obligation to provide smokeless ashtrays and/or an air purification system that will filter air within the space to the extent that it is economically feasible. LEASES for all new tenants moving into the Building will incorporate the entire non-smoking Building policy and will prohibit these new tenants under their LEASE from smoking in all areas of the Building.

 

39.1 WAIVER

 

Any waiver by the LESSOR of any breach of any covenant herein contained to be kept and performed by the LESSEE shall not be deemed or considered as a continuing waiver, and shall not operate to bar or prevent the LESSOR from declaring a forfeiture for any succeeding breach, either of the same condition or covenant otherwise.
