2.

Granting Clause. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.

 

3.

Acceptance of Premises. Tenant shall accept the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s intended purposes. Except as provided herein otherwise, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects in the Premises or any limitation on its use. No later than 10 days after written demand is made by Landlord of Tenant, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Commencement Date Certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached to and made a part of this Lease.

 

- 2 -


Tenant acknowledges that as of the date of this Lease, the Premises are occupied by an existing tenant (the “Existing Tenant”). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant until Landlord has obtained lawful possession of the Premises from the Existing Tenant.

Landlord represents and warrants that as of the Commencement Date the Premises’ HVAC, electrical, plumbing, sprinkler, and other mechanical systems are in good working order and Landlord warrants such systems for a period of six (6) months from the Commencement Date; provided, however, that such warranty shall not be effective for any maintenance, repairs or replacements necessitated due to the misuse of, or damages caused by, Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents, subtenants, or invitees. Furthermore, Landlord represents and warrants that as of the Commencement Date the Premises shall be vacant and in broom clean condition.

Notwithstanding any contrary term or provision contained herein, in the event Tenant has not received a grant or other financial assistance from the State of New Jersey (i.e. through the Grow New Jersey program) in an amount reasonably acceptable to Tenant on or before September 25, 2018 Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord on, or prior to September 30, 2018, in which event Landlord shall promptly return the Security Deposit and the first month’s Base Rent, Taxes and Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses to Tenant, and after which neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a grant or other financial assistance from the State of New Jersey through September 25, 2018.

 

4.

Use. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving, storing, shipping and selling (but specifically excluding retail selling) products and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto. Tenant shall not conduct any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises, Building, and Project in a safe manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises, or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any nuisance or objectionable odors, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the Premises. Outside storage is prohibited at the Project. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall use the Premises in compliance with all federal, state, local, and municipal laws, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises (collectively, “Legal Requirements”). The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar state statutes or local ordinances or any regulations promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. The Premises shall not be used for residential purposes. Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications, at the Premises or Project, that are required by Legal Requirements related to Tenant’s specific use or occupation of the Premises as opposed to general warehouse and distribution use. Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the Commencement Date, no written notice has been received by Landlord of non-compliance with any Legal Requirements in connection with the Premises. In the event that Landlord receives notice, or is otherwise informed, that the Premises is not in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements existing as of the Commencement Date, or which come into effect after the Commencement Date, and such non-compliance is not related to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises performed by Tenant, Landlord shall make such modifications as may be required by order or directive of applicable governmental authority, or otherwise brought to Landlord’s knowledge, in order to bring the Premises into compliance with such applicable Legal Requirements without cost or expense to Tenant. Any

 

- 3 -


  occupation of the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, except for the payment of Monthly Base Rent, Fixed Operating Expenses and Taxes. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord that Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, contractors, or employees, requires access to the roof of the Building, along with the date such access is required, prior to accessing the roof of the Building. Tenant shall follow all Legal Requirements, including, but not limited to, OSHA requirements when employees, contractors, or agents access the roof of the Building and shall use reasonable and appropriate safety precautions in order to ensure such employees, contractors, or agents are not subject to injury or death.

 

5.

Base Rent. The first month’s Base Rent, Taxes, and Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall be due and payable upon execution of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, subsequent monthly installments of Base Rent on, or before, the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date as set forth in Paragraph 1 (prorated for any fractional calendar month). All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (or to such other party or at such location as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by Electronic Fund Transfer (“EFT”) or Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set-off any amounts due and payable hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent, Taxes, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, or other amount due and payable herein for more than 5 days, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies (and not as a penalty), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to [***] of such delinquent sum.

 

6.

Fixed Operating Expenses. In addition to the Base Rent, during each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses provided in Paragraph 1 of the Lease, which Landlord and Tenant agree shall be reimbursement for Landlord’s obligations with respect to the maintenance, repairs, and replacements as provided in Paragraph 11 of the Lease, as well as the insurance premiums incurred by Landlord as provided in Paragraph 10 of the Lease. Effective on each annual anniversary of the Commencement Date during the Lease Term (or, if the first annual anniversary occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then on the first day of the immediately subsequent calendar month and on each annual anniversary date thereafter), the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase provided in Paragraph 1 over the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses due and payable under this Lease immediately prior to such increase. Landlord and Tenant agree that except for the increases in the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses as provided above, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall not be reconciled against the actual operating expenses incurred by Landlord at any time during the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lease Term is extended in any manner, whether via an option to extend or otherwise, Landlord shall have the right to amend the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses due and payable by Tenant during such extension of the Lease Term, as well as the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase, each as determined in Landlord’s reasonable determination based on the actual

 

- 4 -


  operating expenses applicable to the Project prior to such increase and Landlord’s projected annual increase of such operating expenses, upon delivery of written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s intent to amend such terms. For the purpose of Landlord’s determination of the Fixed Operating Expenses during any extension of the Lease Term as provided herein only, the actual operating expenses shall mean all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project (excluding Taxes) including, but not limited to costs of: insurance; utilities; maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Building, Premises, and Project, including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, the roof, alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, snow removal, exterior painting, utility lines, fire sprinklers and fire protection systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting, electrical systems and other mechanical and building systems; amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the foregoing; charges or assessments of any association to which the Project is subject; a property management or administration fee payable to a property manager, including Landlord, or any affiliate of Landlord; security services, if any; trash collection, sweeping and debris removal; and additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Project or the Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant).

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses be calculated to include (a) reserves for future expenditures; (b) costs incurred by Landlord for repair or restoration to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds or that is covered by warranty; (c) costs incurred due to the negligence or misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, licensees and employees or the violation by Landlord of the terms and conditions of this Lease; (d) overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such services rendered by other first-class unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; (e) any costs relating to hazardous materials, asbestos and the like not resulting from actions of tenant; (f) charges for depreciation of the Building or equipment; (g) taxes of any kind; and (h) marketing, promotions or advertising of any kind.

 

7.

Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be due and payable to Landlord upon execution of this Lease. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. Upon any Event of Default (hereinafter defined), Landlord may use all, or part of, the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord’s obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall not be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts, and no interest shall accrue thereon. Provided Landlord actually transfers the Security Deposit to any person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease, the Premises and the Security Deposit to a person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

 

- 5 -


The Security Deposit under the Lease shall be $[***], in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit from a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in compliance with the material terms shown in Exhibit H attached hereto (“Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall either provide that it does not expire until 60 days following the Expiration Date or, if it is for less than the full Lease Term, shall be automatically renewed for an additional year unless Landlord receives notice from the issuing bank at least 60 days prior to its expiration that it will not be extended. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it may be drawn down upon by Landlord in whole or in part at any time Landlord delivers to the bank its site draft and a drawing request in the form attached hereto as Annex 2 to Exhibit H. If Landlord sells or conveys the Premises, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, cooperate in having the Letter of Credit transferred to the purchaser and Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in the event of such transfer. If the Letter of Credit is ever drawn upon by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days thereafter cause the Letter of Credit to be restored to the then existing amount at the time immediately prior to the draw down, or supply Landlord with an additional Letter of Credit equal to the amount drawn upon such that Landlord has one or more letters of credit in the aggregate amount required by the terms of this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Landlord receives notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Paragraph 7, or Tenant fails to renew such Letter of Credit, or in the event that Tenant shall commence any proceeding for relief, as defined in Paragraph 24(b) of the Lease, the Letter of Credit shall provide, and Tenant agrees, that Landlord, without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure, may immediately draw down on the full amount of the Letter of Credit, holding the proceeds of same as a cash Security Deposit.

After the sixty-third (63rd) month of the Lease Term, the required amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced to $[***] for the remainder of the Lease Term, provided that the following conditions are met as of the last day of the 63rd month of the Lease Term: (i) no Event of Default shall then exist or shall have existed at any time during the Lease Term; (ii) Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that it has achieved twelve (12) consecutive months of positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”); and (iii) Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that it has a tangible net worth of at least $[***] as of such date. Prior to such Letter of Credit reduction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with audited financial statements evidencing the satisfaction of the requirements under conditions (ii) and (iii) above.

 

8.

Utilities. Tenant shall pay directly for all separately metered, or contracted public and private utilities including, but not limited to, water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, refuse and trash collection, and other utilities and services used on the Premises, along with any taxes, penalties, or surcharges with respect thereto. Landlord may cause at Tenant’s expense any jointly metered utilities to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Interruptions or failures of utilities shall not result in a default by Landlord under this Lease, or the termination of this Lease, or the abatement of rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer to amounts consistent with normal restroom and office use.

9.

Taxes. Subject to reimbursement as provided below, Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes (collectively referred to as “Taxes”) that accrue against the Building or Project during the Lease Term. Landlord may contest the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens thereof. If Landlord fails to contest Taxes, Tenant shall have the right to request Landlord to contest such Taxes, and Landlord shall so contest, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting Taxes), if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such contest is warranted; provided, however, Tenant’s request of such contesting of Taxes shall be limited to one request in a calendar year. Landlord shall cooperate in the institution and prosecution of any such proceedings of contesting Taxes and will execute any documents reasonably required therefor. All reductions, refunds, or rebates of Taxes paid or payable by Tenant shall belong to Tenant whether as a consequence of a Tenant proceeding or otherwise. All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, use, margin, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any net income taxes imposed on Landlord unless such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, or the Premises, or results from any Tenant-Made Alterations (defined below), then Tenant shall pay such tax or excise as required by the taxing authority. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises by Tenant even if levied or assessed against the Landlord.

During each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual cost (prorated for any fractional calendar month), as estimated by Landlord, of Tenant’s Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Taxes for the Project or Building. Within ninety (90) days of the conclusion of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of the tax bill and a the statement reconciling Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for such just concluded calendar year. If Tenant’s total payments of Taxes for any year are less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Taxes for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand, and if more, then Landlord shall pay such refund to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord provides Tenant with the annual accounting. Any payment required to be paid by Landlord shall be delivered to the most recent address Tenant has provided to Landlord and, if undeliverable, shall be deemed forfeited by Tenant. Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Lease as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises, Building, or Project. The Taxes set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Lease is only an estimate, and Landlord makes no guaranty as to the accuracy of such estimate.

10.

Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building and commercial general liability insurance on the Project in forms and amounts customary for properties substantially similar to the Project. The Project or Building may be included in a blanket policy or captive insurance program. Tenant will not use the Premises in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any insurance credits. If any increase in the cost of any insurance on the Premises or the Project is caused by Tenant’s use of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord. Landlord represents and warrants that the use of the Premises for the general purpose of warehousing of non-Hazardous Materials or highly flammable materials and general office space will not (i) void Landlord’s insurance, or (ii) increase the insurance risk or cause the disallowance of any insurance credits.

Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term the following insurance: (1) commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, covering Tenant, and its activities at the Project, having a minimum limit of $[***] per occurrence (which requirement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess policy limits); (2) all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements placed in the Premises by, or on behalf of, Tenant, including any property of Tenant’s customers or which is otherwise not owned by Tenant; (3) workers’ compensation insurance as required by the applicable state statute (or equivalent coverage reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the event there is no such statutory requirement) which shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord, Prologis, Inc., its affiliates, and property manager (Landlord and such parties are collectively referred to herein as the “Landlord Parties”); (4) employers liability insurance of at least $[***], (5) provided Tenant uses its own automobiles as part of the business being conducted from the Premises, business automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than $[***] per occurrence which can be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess policy limits insuring Tenant against liability arising out of the ownership maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles, and (6) business interruption insurance covering at least 6 months of income. Tenant’s insurance companies shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII and provide primary and non-contributory coverage to the Landlord Parties (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies). All commercial general liability policies shall name the Landlord Parties as additional insureds. The limits and types of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of such insurance in forms reasonably acceptable to Landlord as required under this Lease prior to the date Tenant is provided with possession of the Premises, and thereafter at least 15 days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage, and 15 days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s request for such certificates. Acceptance by Landlord of delivery of any certificates of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements of this section have been met. In the event any of the insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall be cancelled prior to the expiration date of such policy, or if Tenant receives notice of any cancellation of such insurance policies from the insurer prior to the expiration date of such policy, Tenant shall promptly replace such insurance policy in order to assure no lapse of coverage shall occur.

 

- 8 -


The all-risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, their officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors, in connection with any insured loss or damage. Neither party, nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors, shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk property insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Neither party, nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, or contractors, shall be liable to the other for any business interruption loss incurred, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, and contractors for such business interruption loss from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligent acts of the other party at the Premises or the Project.

 

11.

Landlord’s Repairs and Maintenance. Landlord shall maintain, repair, and replace, at Landlord’s expense, the exterior and structural elements of the Building, including the roof, walls, the structural integrity of the foundation, parking areas, driveways, alleys, landscaping, lighting, the Building fire sprinkler system, all components of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (the “HVAC”) units serving the office portion of the Premises, any exterior louvers or ventilation fans for typical warehouse air changes, and any heating and/or evaporative cooler systems serving the warehouse portion of the Premises which may exist (the “Warehouse Units”), and the below slab water and sewer lines, in good working order, excluding reasonable wear and tear and uninsured damages caused by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, subtenant’s and assignees. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord’s obligation with respect to the HVAC and Warehouse Units as provided above shall expressly exclude any heating, ventilation, or air conditioning systems installed by Tenant in the Premises, any specialty HVAC systems (including but not limited to IT room supplemental HVAC or which are necessary for temperature controlled product), and any air conditioning systems serving the warehouse portion of the Premises other than the evaporative cooler systems as provided above. In addition to the foregoing, if customary in the market where the Project is located, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall provide snow removal for the Project to the extent applicable under the local conditions, and parking lot sweeping at the Project in a manner consistent with owners of similar buildings and projects in the market where the Building is located. The term “walls” as used in this Paragraph shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, dock bumpers, or dock plates or levelers. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph.

In the event of an emergency (being defined as an imminent threat of personal injury to Tenant’s employees, or material damage to Tenant’s equipment or other property at the Premises, or a material and adverse impact on Tenant’s operations as the Premises), Tenant shall have the right to make such temporary, emergency repairs to the roof, foundation, floors and exterior walls of the building of which the Premises are a part, or the roof membrane, skylights, roof vents, drains and downspouts of the Project, and the exterior and under slab utility systems for the Project, as may be reasonably necessary to prevent such material damage to the equipment or property of Tenant situated in the Premises, or such personal injury to

 

- 9 -


Tenant’s employees, or a material and adverse impact on Tenant’s operations as the Premises, provided Tenant has no reasonable alternative and has notified or attempted in good faith to notify Landlord’s representative of such emergency by telephone (with subsequent written notice as soon as practicable). The provisions of this paragraph do not constitute an authorization by Landlord for Tenant to enter the premises of any other tenant of the Project, and Tenant has not been designated as Landlord’s agent for the purposes of any such entry. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in making such emergency repairs to the roof, foundation or exterior walls, as applicable, up to (but not to exceed) $[***] with respect to each such occurrence, within thirty (30) days after submission by Tenant to Landlord of an invoice therefore, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation for the costs so incurred. In the event Landlord fails or refuses to reimburse Tenant for such costs within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant brings an action for recovery of such amounts from Landlord as provided for in this Lease, then Tenant shall be entitled to recover, in addition to the amount of such costs, interest on such amounts from the date incurred by Tenant until recovered from Landlord, at the rate provided in Paragraph 37(k) of this Lease, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of court incurred by Tenant in pursuing such action.

 

12.

Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Landlord’s obligations in Paragraphs 3 and 11, and subject to Paragraphs 10 and 16, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition the Premises and all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises including, without limitation, dock and loading areas, truck doors, plumbing, above slab water and sewer lines up to points of common connection, entries, doors, ceilings, windows, and interior walls, which repair and replacement obligations include capital repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding Landlord’s obligations with respect to the HVAC units serving the office portion of the Premises as provided in Paragraph 11, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of any warehouse air conditioning units, as wells as the exhaust fans, ductwork, vents, and registers of such air conditioning units serving the warehouse portion of the Premises. If Tenant fails to perform any maintenance, repair, or replacement for which it is responsible within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written demand, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. Subject to Paragraphs 10 and 16, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Building or Project that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees, or Tenant’s failure to maintain the Premises in accordance with this Lease.

 

13.

Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made by, or on behalf of, Tenant to the Premises (“Tenant-Made Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent and approval of the plans, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided that such alteration does not materially affect the structure or the roof of the Building, modify the exterior of the Building, or modify the utility or mechanical systems of the Project. Tenant shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to: (a) be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord using only good grades of materials, and (b) comply with Landlord’s insurance requirements and Legal Requirements. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing plans and specifications and for monitoring construction.

 

- 10 -


  Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with Legal Requirements. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the names and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall cause its contractor to provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation, including a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Landlord Parties, and commercial general liability in an amount equal to USD$[***] from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord, including a provision of additional insured status for the Landlord Parties, from any contractor completing work on Tenant-Made Alterations. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors who did work on the Tenant-Made Alterations. Upon surrender of the Premises all Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant shall remain on the Premises as Landlord’s property, except to the extent Landlord requires removal, in which case, at Tenant’s expense, Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such installation or removal. Upon Tenant’s prior written request, Landlord shall provide Tenant a list of which Tenant-Made Alterations Landlord will require Tenant to remove upon surrender of the Premises.

Without Landlord’s prior approval, Tenant may erect shelves, racking, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively “Trade Fixtures”) provided that such items do not overload the Premises, may be removed without damaging the Premises, and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements. Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage caused by such installation or removal upon surrender of the Premises.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and provided that no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, Landlord shall contribute up to a maximum amount of USD$[***] (the “TI Allowance”), towards the Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises which can be capitalized by Landlord (as opposed to repairs and maintenance to the Premises), which payment shall be made by Landlord to Tenant within 30 days following (i) completion of the Tenant-Made Alterations, (ii) Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s invoice substantiating the costs along with copies of vendor invoices summarizing work done, (iii) Landlord’s receipt of final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors who worked on the Tenant-Made Alterations, and (iv) Landlord’s receipt of a copy of the final construction permit approved by the applicable governing authority to the extent required for such Tenant-Made

Alterations. Landlord shall be under no obligation to pay for any Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises in excess of the TI Allowance. Further, such TI Allowance shall only be available for Tenant’s use through 12/31/2019, and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to any unused portion of the TI Allowance remaining thereafter.

 

14.

Signs. Tenant shall not install any decorations, flags, pennants, banners, window or door lettering, placards, advertising media, lights or signs to the exterior of the Building, or interior window blinds, draperies, bars, or other window treatments which are visible from the exterior of the Building, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may not be

 

- 11 -


  unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such signage is consistent with Legal Requirements and Landlord’s signage criteria. Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall allocate space on the monument sign serving the Building for Tenant’s name. Prior to the surrender or vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall remove all signs and repair, paint, and/or replace the building facia surface to which its signs may be attached. Tenant shall obtain all applicable governmental permits and approvals for any sign.

 

15.

Parking. Tenant shall be entitled to the exclusive use of the automobile and truck parking areas at the Project. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties.

 

16.

Restoration. If at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is reasonably estimated to exceed 6 months from the date of the casualty event, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon notice to the other party given no later than 30 days after Landlord’s notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, or if Landlord estimates that the restoration will take less than 6 months from the date of such damage, or if neither party terminates this Lease, then Landlord shall, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from events of Force Majeure, restore the Premises, excluding any Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant at Tenant’s expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than one month to repair such damage, provided, however, Tenant may nullify Landlord’s termination notice by exercising its right to the First Extension Term (as defined in Exhibit G) within ten (10) days of its receipt of Landlord’s notice of termination. With respect to any damage to the Premises attributable to Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s deductible with respect to its insurance policy not to exceed USD$[***] no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice for such amount. Base Rent, Taxes, and the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall be abated for the period of repair and restoration commencing on the date of such casualty event in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss.

Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of this Paragraph, if the Premises are not restored by Landlord on, or prior to, the date which is the later of 6 months of the date of the casualty event (subject to Force Majeure and Tenant-caused delays) or the date Landlord estimated completion of the restoration as described above (subject to Force Majeure and Tenant-caused delays), Tenant may terminate the Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord; provided, however, if Landlord completes the restoration in said thirty (30) day notice period, Tenant’s notice of termination shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

 

- 12 -


17.

Condemnation. If any part of the Premises or the Project should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking is a Taking of the entire Building or Project, or would result in the Project no longer being operational for the uses provided herein, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. In the event (i) more than [***] of the Premises is involved in a Taking as described in this Paragraph 17, or (ii) more than [***] of the parking spaces for the Building are Taken and not replaced by Landlord with other parking spaces in the Project proximate to the Building, and in either case the Taking, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, would materially interfere with or impair Tenant’s operations at the Premises, then in any such event Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Landlord within thirty (30) days of such Taking If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent, Operating Expenses and Taxes payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s Trade Fixtures.

 

18.

Assignment and Subletting. Except as expressly provided herein otherwise, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing without Landlord’s consent shall be void and of no effect. Furthermore, Tenant shall not mortgage, or pledge, its leasehold interest in this Lease under any circumstances. It shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold, delay or condition its consent to any assignment or sublease if the intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would impair Landlord’s ability to re-lease the Premises. Any approved assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall provide to Landlord all information concerning the assignee or sublessee as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord may revoke its consent immediately if there is an Event of Default. For purposes of this Paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provided no uncured default exists under this Lease, and subject to the provisions herein, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign this Lease to any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated, or to any entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred, provided the following conditions are met: (x) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets is not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant’s leasehold estate, (y) either such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets does not adversely affect the legal existence of the Tenant hereunder or such resulting entity agrees to assume all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the Lease, including those which may have accrued prior to the effective date of such transfer in a form acceptable to Landlord, and (z) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets of Tenant does not reduce the tangible net worth of Tenant after giving effect to such transfer below [***] Dollars (“Permitted Transfer”). Tenant hereby

 

- 13 -


  agrees to give Landlord written notice thirty (30) days prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets along with any documentation reasonably requested by Landlord related to the required conditions as provided above. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a “Tenant Affiliate”), without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord an amount equal to USD$[***] in connection with any assignment or sublease for which Landlord’s consent is required. This Lease shall be binding upon Tenant and its successors and permitted assigns. Upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice of a desire to assign the Lease or sublet the entire Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term (other than to a Tenant Affiliate), Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, terminate this Lease as of the date specified in Tenant’s notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease. Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of all obligations accruing under this Lease after the effective date of such termination but not any obligations accruing under the Lease prior to the effective date of such termination.

Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations shall remain liable for the payment of the Base Rent, Taxes, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses and other amounts due under this Lease, and compliance with all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord’s approval has been obtained for any such assignments or sublettings). In the event that the rent due by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rent plus any bonus or other consideration therefor) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord [***] of such excess, after subtracting all reasonable and customary expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease or assignment, including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions, attorney’s fees, the cost of demising the Premises, and any improvement allowance or free rent period given the subtenant or assignee, as additional rent within 10 days following receipt by Tenant.

If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises are subleased (whether in whole or in part), or if the Premises are occupied by anyone other than Tenant, then upon an Event of Default Landlord may collect rent from any occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable hereunder.

 

19.

Indemnification. Except for the negligence of the Landlord Parties, their agents, employees or contractors, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph.

 

- 14 -


Except for the negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant, and Tenant’s agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Landlord in or about the Project and arising from any other act or omission of Landlord, its assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Landlord’s obligations under this Paragraph 19.

If a claim under the foregoing indemnity is made against the indemnitee which the indemnitee believes to be covered by an indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder, the indemnitee shall promptly notify the indemnitor of the claim and, in such notice shall offer to the indemnitor the opportunity to assume the defense of the claim within 10 business days after receipt of the notice (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnitee). If the indemnitor timely elects to assume the defense of the claim, the indemnitor shall have the right to settle the claim on any terms it considers reasonable and without the indemnitee’s prior written consent, as long as the settlement shall not require the indemnitee to render any performance or pay any consideration, and the indemnitee shall not have the right to settle any such claim. If the indemnitor fails to timely elect to assume the defense of the claim or fails to defend the claim with diligence, then the indemnitee shall have the right to take over the defense of the claim and to settle the claim on any terms the indemnitee considers reasonable. Any such settlement shall be valid as against the indemnitor. If the indemnitor assumes the defense of a claim, the indemnitee may employ its own counsel but such employment shall be at the sole expense of the indemnitee. If any such claim arises out of the negligence of both Landlord and Tenant, responsibility for such claim shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant based on their respective degrees of negligence. This indemnity does not cover claims arising from the presence or release of Hazardous Materials.

 

20.

Inspection and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at any reasonable time and upon reasonable advance verbal notice to Tenant to inspect the Premises, for any business purpose, and, during the last year of the Lease Term, to show the Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Project stating the Premises are available to lease or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate and modify common areas and create restrictions affecting the Project, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation, modification or restriction materially interferes with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions.

 

21.

Quiet Enjoyment. For so long as there is no Event of Default, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.

 

22.

Surrender. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term or 10 days following its earlier termination or of Tenant’s right of possession as a result of an Event of Default, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear, casualty loss and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 16 and 17 excepted and otherwise in accordance with the Move Out Conditions attached hereto. Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations

 

- 15 -


  and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and disposition of such property. All outstanding Tenant obligations hereunder shall survive the termination of the Lease Term, including without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment of Taxes, and all obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

 

23.

Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord, and all terms of this Lease shall be applicable during such holdover period (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option), except that Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand, as Base Rent for the holdover period, an amount equal to [***]% of the then-effective Base Rent, computed on a monthly basis for each month or part thereof during such holding over. All other payments payable under this Lease shall continue under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. For purposes of this Paragraph, “possession of the Premises” shall continue until, among other things, Tenant has delivered all keys to the Premises to Landlord, Landlord has complete control over the Premises, and Tenant has completely fulfilled all obligations required of it upon termination of the Lease concerning the condition and repair of the Premises which impair Landlord’s ability to release the Premises.

 

24.

Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) by Tenant under this Lease:

 

  a)

Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Taxes, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, or any other payment required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 days from Tenant’s receipt of written notice form Landlord that same is past due.

 

  b)

Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “proceeding for relief”); (C) become the subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).

 

  c)

Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be cancelled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease or Tenant fails to timely deliver to Landlord any certificate of insurance as required under Paragraph 10 of the Lease, and said failure is not cured within five (5) business days of Tenant’s receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord.

 

- 16 -


  d)

Tenant shall vacate the Premises and fail to make arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to ensure that (a) Tenant’s insurance for the Premises will not be voided or cancelled, (b) the Premises are secured and not subject to vandalism, and (c) the Premises will be properly maintained and maintaining the utility services. Tenant shall inspect the Premises at least monthly and report to Landlord in the event the condition of the Premises has adversely changed.

 

  e)

Tenant shall assign, sublease or transfer Tenant’s interest in this Lease except as permitted in this Lease.

 

  f)

Tenant shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the Premises or Building in violation of this Lease within 20 days after receipt of actual notice any such lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises.

 

  g)

Tenant shall fail to provide Landlord with an estoppel certificate within 10 days of receipt of written notice that same has not been provided within the time period required by Paragraph 29 below.

 

  h)

Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Paragraph, and such default shall continue for more than 30 days after Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such default (said notice being in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required as a prerequisite to a forcible entry and detainer or similar action for possession of the Premises); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be in default under the circumstances described in this Paragraph 24 if Tenant has made diligent efforts to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period described therein, and thereafter proceeds continuously and diligently to cure such default within a commercially reasonable time.

 

25.

Landlord’s Remedies. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, Landlord may at any time elect to: (a) terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, (but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided), and/or (b) pursue any other remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right of possession, it shall be lawful for Landlord, without formal demand or notice of any kind, to re-enter the Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action or proceeding authorized by law and to remove Tenant and all persons and property therefrom. If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use, or remove and store, all property at the Premises.

If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum of: all Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and all other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of such termination; the value of the Base Rent for any periods of abated Monthly Base Rent based on the Monthly Base Rent amount that immediately follows such period of abatement; the cost of reletting the whole or any part of the Premises, including without

 

- 17 -


limitation brokerage fees and/or leasing commissions incurred by Landlord, and costs of removing and storing property, repairing or altering the Premises for a new tenant(s), and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing its remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs; and the excess of the then present value of the Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease applicable during the period following the termination of this Lease to the Expiration Date stated in this Lease, over the present value of any net amounts which Tenant establishes Landlord can reasonably expect to recover by reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration the availability of acceptable tenants and other market conditions affecting leasing. Such present values shall be calculated at a discount rate equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate at the date of such termination.

If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession (but not this Lease) without terminating the Lease after an Event of Default, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant; provided, however, (a) Landlord shall not be obligated to accept any tenant proposed by Tenant, (b) Landlord shall have the right to lease any other space controlled by Landlord first, and (c) any proposed tenant shall meet all of Landlord’s leasing criteria. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including without limitation a term different than the remaining Lease Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair of the Premises, lease of less than the entire Premises to any tenant and leasing any or all other portions of the Project before reletting the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Premises as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are not relet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession of the Premises (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of repossession, and the costs incurred in any attempt by Landlord to relet the Premises. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after first deducting therefrom, for retention by Landlord, the unpaid Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering possession (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), all of the costs and expense of repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, the expense of such reletting (including without limitation brokerage fees and leasing commissions) and the cost of collection of the rent accruing therefrom to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall immediately satisfy and pay any such deficiency. Any such payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums as they become due. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

 

- 18 -


Except for Landlord’s termination of this Lease, Landlord’s exercise of any remedies shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord except by written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance the terms hereof shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent Event of Default. Receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. The terms “enter,” “re-enter,” “entry” or “re-entry,” as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

26.

Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). All obligations of Landlord shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if such default by Landlord shall occur, Tenant may pursue any legal or equitable remedy for which it is entitled. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the then current owner of the Premises, and in the event of a transfer of the Premises, such owner shall be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Building, and, except as specifically provided in the next sentence, in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord. Landlord’s interest in the Premises shall be deemed to include (i) rent payments and other income and profits derived by and from the Premises, and (ii) the net proceeds of insurance received by Landlord from any casualty loss of all or any portion of the Premises, after Tenant obtains a final judgment against Landlord.

 

27.

Subordination. Without the necessity of any further instrument or act of Tenant, this Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any existing or future first mortgage on the Building, and all amendments, modifications, assignments and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees, at the election of the holder of any such mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees within ten (10) days of demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such reasonable instruments, confirming such subordination and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder; provided such instruments do not increase, or modify, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

- 19 -


Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant. The term “mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “holder” of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. Landlord represents to Tenant that as of the date hereof the Building is not subject to or encumbered by a mortgage. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 27, this Lease and Tenant’s interest in the Premises shall not be subordinate to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, and Tenant shall not be obligated to execute an instrument subordinating this Lease or Tenant’s interest in the Premises to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, unless concurrently with such subordination the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust agrees in such instrument of subordination not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises (so long as no default exists under the Lease) in the event such holder acquires title to the Premises through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.

 

28.

Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant in, the Premises or this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of claims or liens asserted against the leasehold estate, the interest of Landlord in the Premises, or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any lien or encumbrance placed against the Premises of which it becomes aware and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged, or bonded over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord, within 20 days of receipt of actual notice of the filing or recording thereof.

 

29.

Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord or Landlord’s designee, within ten (10) days after request of Landlord, any estoppel certificate containing customary provisions requested by Landlord. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate. In the event Tenant fails to timely deliver the estoppel certificate as provided above, Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant a second request for such estoppel certificate, and Tenant shall deliver such estoppel certificate no later than five (5) days from receipt of such second notice. Except as expressly provided otherwise above, no cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate.

 

30.

Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Materials contained in products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes, propane used in Tenant’s forklifts in the normal course of its business, and contained in products stored and/or distributed during Tenant’s normal course of business in their original, sealed, and unopened containers, Tenant shall not permit or cause any party to bring any Hazardous Material upon the Premises or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture or release any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises in strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements and shall remediate in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released on or from the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or invitees (“Tenant Parties”). Tenant shall complete and certify disclosure statements requested by Landlord relating to Tenant’s transportation, storage, use, generation,

 

- 20 -


  manufacture or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term “Environmental Requirements” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. The term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.

Fair Market Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s not having to find a new tenant for the Premises (including without limitation brokerage commissions, cost of improvements necessary to prepare the space for such tenant’s occupancy, rent concession, or lost rental income during any vacancy period), but shall take into account market rental concessions and allowances for comparable lease renewals in the market. Fair Market Rent means only the rent component defined as Base Rent in the Lease and does not include reimbursements and payments by Tenant to Landlord with respect to Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, or other items payable or reimbursable by Tenant under the Lease. In addition to its obligation to pay Base Rent (as determined herein), Tenant shall continue to pay and reimburse Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses (subject to be increased by Landlord), Taxes, and other items with respect to the Premises during the [***] Extension Term. The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Base Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for such Monthly Fixes Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other reimbursable items. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,

 

- 36 -


upon the determination of the Base Rent for the first twelve (12) months of the [***] Extension Term, whether through an agreement between Landlord and Tenant or through arbitration as provided below, the Base Rent shall automatically increase on each twelve (12) month anniversary thereafter during the [***] Extension Term by [***] percent over the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to such anniversary.

(d) Fair Market Rent Notification/Acceptance. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Rent for the [***] Extension Term, along with the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses and the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase, as determined in Landlord’s sole but reasonable determination, applicable to the [***] Extension Term (the “Fair Market Rent Notice”) within [***] of Tenant’s [***] Extension Notice, and Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord within [***] of receipt of the Fair Market Rent Notice of any objection to the Fair Market Rent Notice. Failure to respond within the [***] period shall constitute Tenant’s acceptance of such Fair Market Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, and the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase. If Tenant objects, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within [***] of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice. If the parties cannot agree, each acting in good faith but without any obligation to agree, then the Lease Term shall not be extended and shall terminate on its scheduled termination date and Tenant shall have no further right hereunder or any remedy by reason of the parties’ failure to agree unless Tenant or Landlord invokes the arbitration procedure provided below to determine the Fair Market Rent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall either party have the right to invoke the arbitration provision as provided herein until Landlord and Tenant have mutually agreed (or be deemed to have agreed) to the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses and Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase applicable during the [***] Extension Term, and any attempt to invoke arbitration absent such agreement shall be null and void. The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Base Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, or any other reimbursable items.

(e) Arbitration. Arbitration to determine the Fair Market Rent shall be in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise required by state law, arbitration shall be conducted in the metropolitan area where the Project is located by a single arbitrator unaffiliated with either party. Either party may elect to arbitrate by sending written notice to the other party and the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association within [***] after the [***] negotiating period provided in Paragraph (d), invoking the binding arbitration provisions of this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the arbitrator their respective proposal of Fair Market Rent. The arbitrator must choose between the Landlord’s proposal and the Tenant’s proposal and may not compromise between the two or select some other amount. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Fair Market Rent determined by the arbitrator shall not be less than, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to determine a Fair Market Rent less than, the Base Rent in effect as of the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Tenant and by Tenant if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Landlord; and shall be borne equally otherwise. If the arbitrator has not determined the Fair Market Rent as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay [***] percent of the Base Rent in effect under the Lease as of the end of the Lease Term until the Fair Market Rent is determined as provided herein. Upon such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments to the payments between them.

 

- 37 -


(f) Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any appropriate court to enforce the arbitration provisions of this Addendum and to enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator.

(g) Lease Terms/Provisions. Except for the Base Rent, Fixed Monthly Operating Expense Payment and Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the First Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to this addendum or to any allowances, credits or abatements or options to expand, contract, renew or extend the Lease.

(h) Failure to Give Extension Notice. If Tenant does not send the [***] Extension Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (a), Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the [***] Extension Notice and the notice of Tenant’s objection under Paragraph (d).

(i) As-Is Condition. Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the First Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the [***] Extension Term in “as-is” condition. Nothing herein shall limit or otherwise affect Landlord’s maintenance obligations under this Lease.

(j) Amendment Preparation. If the Lease is extended for the [***] Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term, the Base Rent, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, and the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase applicable to the [***] Extension Term, and the other provisions applicable thereto (the “Amendment”).

(k) Lease Term. If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the [***] Extension Term pursuant to this Addendum, the term “Lease Term” as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the [***] Extension Term except as provided in (g) above.
