1. PREMISES; PERMITTED USE.

1.1 - Premises. Landlord, subject to the following terms and conditions, hereby leases to Tenant the premises (the “Premises”) designated on the floor plan attached as Exhibit A, known as Suite #201, comprising approximately thirty-four thousand two hundred forty-one (34,241) square feet of Rentable Area located on the second (2nd) floor of Building #2, more commonly known as 1840 S.

The First Phase Commencement Date and the Second Phase Commencement Date are defined in Section 2 below. Prior to the Second Phase Commencement Date, the Premises (as used in this Lease) shall mean only the First Phase Area.

1.2 - Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for general office use, minor assembly of Tenant’s Ultherapy products, related laboratory usage, and service, repair and distribution activities related to Tenant’s Ultherapy products, and for no other purpose (“Permitted Use”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall ensure that all persons permitted by Tenant to come upon the Premises shall comply with the Rules and Regulations identified in Exhibit D, as they may be modified from time to time by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion (the “Rules and Regulations”); provided, however, no such modification shall materially impair the Permitted Use.

1.3 - Exclusive Rights Infringement. Tenant shall not use the Premises for any purpose in violation of exclusive rights granted by Landlord from time to time to any other Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall not grant any exclusive right after the Effective Date that would prevent Tenant from conducting its initial Permitted Use. In no event shall Tenant have the right to change its use of the Premises from the initial Permitted Use, without Landlord’s prior written approval, so as to confirm such proposed new use does not violate any existing Exclusive Rights.

1.4 - Right to Use Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive and reasonable use of the driveways, parking lot (subject to the provisions of Section 11), elevators, sidewalks, hallways, stairways, public bathrooms, common entrances, lobby, and other similar public areas and access ways and any other common areas of the Property designated from time to time by Landlord during the Term (the “Common Areas”), in common with other tenants, occupants and authorized users thereof and their respective permittees, subject to casualty, condemnation, Force Majeure and other events beyond the control of Landlord.

2. TERM; SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION; POSSESSION.

2.1 - Commencement and Term. The term (“Term”) of this Lease will be approximately ninety-three (93) months commencing on the First Phase Commencement Date, as hereinafter defined, and ending on the last day of the ninety-third (93rd) full calendar month thereafter, unless sooner terminated or extended. The “First Phase Commencement Date” shall be the date Landlord delivers possession of the First Phase Area to Tenant, with all Tenant Improvements (as defined in Exhibit C hereto) having been Substantially Completed (as defined in Exhibit C hereto) which date shall be evidenced by a letter from Landlord to Tenant. The First Phase Commencement Date is currently estimated to occur on October 1, 2012 (the “Target Commencement Date”). Even though the Term does not commence until the First Phase Commencement Date, this Lease shall be in full force and effect as a binding obligation of the parties from and after the date of this Lease. The Second Phase Commencement Date shall occur after Landlord has Substantially Completed all Tenant Improvements on the Second Phase Area (whereupon the First Phase Area and Second Phase Area shall constitute the “Premises” for purposes of this Lease). Within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice (“Tenant’s Second Phase Notice”) instructing Landlord to commence the Tenant Improvements for the Second Phase Area.

2.2 - Confirming Memorandum.

(a) Landlord and Tenant shall execute, prior to Tenant’s taking possession of the First Phase Area, a Commencement Agreement which shall contain written confirmation of (1) the First Phase Commencement Date, (2) the last day of the Term, (3) the Rentable Area of the First Phase Area and the Building (as certified in accordance with the terms of this Lease), (4) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs as to the First Phase Area, and (5) the Rent payable by Tenant as to the First Phase Area. The Commencement Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof.

(b) Landlord and Tenant shall execute, prior to Tenant’s taking possession of the Second Phase Area, a Commencement Agreement which shall contain written confirmation of (1) the Second Phase Commencement Date, (2) the Rentable Area of the Second Phase Area (as certified in accordance with the terms of this Lease) and the entire Premises, (3) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs as to the entire Premises, and (4) the Rent payable by Tenant as to the entire Premises The Commencement Agreement shall also be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof.

2.3 - Delayed Delivery. If delivery of possession of the First Phase Area to Tenant is delayed for any reason other than a Tenant Delay or Force Majeure for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after the Target Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage occasioned by such delay, but Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord and upon such termination, Tenant shall vacate any portion of the Premises then occupied or any temporary space in accordance with the terms of any license or other agreement and neither party shall have any other or further liabilities or obligations under this Lease except for such obligations that expressly survive termination.

2.4 - Causes of Delay.

(a) “Tenant Delay” shall mean any delay in Landlord’s commencement or completion of the Tenant Improvements that occurs as the result of: (i) any request by Tenant either: (A) that Landlord perform any work in addition to that required under the Construction Documents, or (B) that Landlord delay the commencement or completion of the Tenant Improvements for any reason, (ii) any change by Tenant to the Construction Documents after final approval thereof, (iii) any failure of Tenant to respond to any request for approval required hereunder within the time period specified for such response or, where

 

3


no response time is specified, within a reasonable period of time after the request, (iv) any delay in Landlord’s construction of the Tenant Improvements caused by Tenant’s activities in the Premises, or (v) any other act or omission of Tenant that effectively delays commencement or completion of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease.

(b) “Force Majeure” shall mean Landlord’s inability to obtain equipment or building materials despite the timely and diligent effort by Landlord or its contractors to obtain such equipment and materials, acts of God, fire, earthquake, flood, rainfall or other weather-caused delays which interfere with construction, vandalism, acts or delays of public agencies or governmental bodies, or the authority under the covenants, conditions and restrictions, any moratorium on the issuance of governmental approvals or utility service connections or other similar government actions, strikes, union labor disputes or other union work stoppages, freight embargoes or inability to obtain basic materials, supplies or fuels, uncommon or unusual delays in the issuance of governmental permits or approvals, or other events beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or its contractors.

2.5 - Excused Delay. For each day of delay caused by Tenant Delay or Force Majeure, Landlord’s performance dates will be extended for an equivalent period of time.

2.6 - Early Access by Tenant. With Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in the event Landlord determines that Tenant will not interfere with any work to be performed by Landlord, or otherwise cause any delays, Tenant may enter and take possession of the Premises prior to the First Phase Commencement Date without payment of Rent or other sums under this Lease, subject to all other requirements and covenants of this Lease, Tenant shall at all times act diligently and cooperate with Landlord to the fullest extent possible to prevent interference with Landlord’s work and the occurrence of Tenant Delay. Prior to any early access, Tenant must supply Landlord with evidence that Tenant has procured and has in full force and effect all insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to Article 16 of this Lease.

Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any liens, personal injury, property damage or other action, injury or claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred by Landlord) arising from the entry of Tenant, and/or Tenant’s consultants, representatives, agents, contractors or subcontractors onto the Project, the Building and the Premises, Tenant will repair all damage to the Project, the Building and/or the Premises resulting from Tenant’s early entry.

2.7 – Renewal Option. Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) consecutive period of five (5) years (“Renewal Term”) by providing Landlord written notice not later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term. The annual Base Rent during any such Renewal Term shall be calculated as an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Market Rental Rate, as hereinafter defined.

The “Market Rental Rate”, as used herein, shall mean the prevailing rental rate on a per-square- foot basis, then being obtained by landlords of first class office buildings in the southeast valley of the metropolitan Phoenix area. It is agreed by Tenant that Landlord, in determining the respective market rates for the Renewal Term, shall be entitled to consider the rental rate then being obtained by Landlord for comparable space in the Project. Landlord shall include a “refurbishment allowance” for the Renewal Term equal to There and 00/100 Dollars ($3 00) per square foot of Rentable Area in the Premises, which Tenant may use in connection with work necessary to refurbish and improve the Premises, The amount of the refurbishment allowance shall be factored into the determination of the Market Rental Rate and shall be payable to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the date the Renewal Term commences.

Within thirty (30) days following the date of receipt of Tenant’s election to extend the Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s determination of Base Rent as calculated above. Tenant shall then have the right to cancel its election to extend the Term, by giving Landlord written notice of its intent to cancel, which notice must be given within ten (10) days following the date of notice from Landlord to Tenant of the Base Rent. If Tenant shall fail to give notice of cancellation of its election to extend within said ten (10) day period, then this Lease shall terminate as of the termination date of the

 

4


Term. If Landlord shall fail to give Tenant notice of the Base Rent as provided above, then the Base Rent shall be the Base Rent as of the last year of the Term multiplied by two and three-quarters percent (2.75%) with a similar increase for each year of the Renewal Term, and Tenant shall not have any right to cancel its option to extend.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned calculations, in no event shall the annual Base Rent for any Renewal Term be less than the annual Base Rent during the last year of the immediately previous Term.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing upon the date of the notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Term or at the time of the commencement of the Renewal Term, Landlord shall have the right to cancel any option to extend this Lease including, but not limited to, the right to revoke an option exercised by Tenant. Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant of such cancellation, and such option to extend shall be of no further force or effect.

 

3. RENT.

3.1 - Base Rent. Beginning on the First Phase Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without any set-off, deduction, or abatement, at Landlord’s address for notices as hereinafter set forth, or to such other place as directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, annual rent (“Base Rent”) each year of the Term, in twelve (12) equal monthly installments, on or before the first (1ST) day of each month, in advance, calculated as follows (the Base Rent shall be subject to readjustment based on the final determination of the Rentable Area, as defined below):

3.2 - Proration. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Rent, as defined in Section 27.1, for the month shall be prorated on a daily basis, based on the number of days in such month, and paid on or before the First Phase Commencement Date.

3.3 - Area Measurement Method. The Usable Area of the Premises and of the Building shall be calculated by Landlord’s architect utilizing current BOMA standards and the Usable Area together with a load factor equal to fifteen percent (15%) shall be the Rentable Area. Landlord shall provide such calculations to Tenant when completed by Landlord’s architect and Tenant shall have the right to have its architect review and approve the calculations. If Tenant’s architect does not agree with the Landlord’s architect’s calculations, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within ten (10) days after receipt by the calculation by Landlord and provide its calculation of the Rentable Area. If Landlord and Tenant are then unable to agree upon the calculation of the Rentable Area within ten (10) days after Tenant’s notice, Landlord’s architect and Tenant’s architect shall select an unrelated third architect (the cost of which shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant) to calculate the Rentable Area, and such calculation shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant for purposes of this Lease. The approved Rentable Area shall be stipulated and included in each Commencement Agreement signed by Landlord and Tenant.

3.4 – Abatement of Rent. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the first two hundred seventy (270) days following the First Phase Commencement Date (“Free Rent Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on the First Phase Commencement Date, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs attributable to the First Phase Area. Upon the Second Phase Commencement Date, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs attributable to the entire Premises.

 

4. OPERATING COSTS.

4.1 - Obligation to Pay. Tenant shall, for each calendar year of the Term, pay to Landlord as Rent, without any set-off, deduction or abatement, Tenant’s Share (as defined below) of any increase in Operating Costs incurred by Landlord in the operation, maintenance, repair and management of the Property over the actual Operating Costs incurred by Landlord during the “Base Year’’, which shall mean calendar year 2012 (“Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs”). “Tenant’s Share” shall be a fraction whose numerator is (a) the Rentable Area in the First Phase Area, or (b) the Rentable Area in the entire Premises upon the addition of the Second Phase Area, and whose denominator is the Rentable Area in the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing with Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs due in connection with calendar year 2014, in no event shall Tenant’s obligation for Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs in any calendar year thereafter be increased by more than six percent (6%) per calendar year, on a cumulative basis, provided, however, the six percent (6%) cap shall not apply to Taxes, insurance, utilities, or other non-controllable costs.

4.2 - Definition. “Operating Costs” are hereby defined to include, but shall not be limited to: (i) real estate taxes and assessments, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, including, without limitation, ad valorum taxes, personal property taxes, transit taxes, special or extraordinary assessments, government levies, substitute taxes, assessments, excises, charges or fees assessed or levied in lieu of the foregoing, and expenses and fees incurred in protesting or appealing any of the foregoing taxes or assessments (but only if such protests or appeals are successful) (collectively, “Taxes’’), but excluding income taxes, franchise taxes, inheritance taxes and gift taxes,; (ii) insurance premiums and costs, including deductibles for the insurance Landlord maintains with respect to the Building (but in an amount not more than $10,000), whether or not required by Section 16.4; (iii) yearly amortization, together with interest on the unamortized amount, of capital improvements and other costs incurred by Landlord for (a) improvements or alterations or changes to the Property required to comply with any laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property enacted after the First Phase Commencement Date, or with any changes in laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property which existed on the First Phase Commencement Date but which were enacted or come into effect after the First Phase Commencement Date, or the application of either; (b) purposes of reducing Operating Costs; or (c) repairs to, or replacement of, HVAC or other systems necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Building, provided that costs incurred in connection with any replacement of HVAC systems shall be amortized over the useful life of such improvements, alterations, replacements, changes, or repairs which useful life shall be determined in accordance with recommended useful life provided by the applicable HVAC manufacturer; (iv) costs of maintenance, repair and replacement of the Common Areas, including, without

 

6


limitation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the parking lot and driveways (including periodic resurfacing as needed, but in no event more than once every seven (7) years), stairways, common bathrooms, lobbies, elevators, sidewalks, loading docks, exterior light fixtures, landscaping, common signage, and periodic painting of the exterior of the Building, provided that expenses incurred for any one replacement to the Common Areas which cost in excess of Thirty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000.00) shall be amortized over a period of not less than three (3) years; (v) costs of routine service and maintenance of the roof including reasonable preventive care; (vi) costs incurred for the Building Standard Services, as defined in Section 8.2, including all maintenance contracts necessary for providing such services; (vii) costs of electricity, water and other utilities for the Common Areas; (viii) management fees charged by Landlord, an affiliate of Landlord or any other entity managing the Property equal to three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the sum of Base Rent and Operating Costs; (ix) reasonable reserves for Operating Costs; (x) assessments, charges, or fees assessed against the Property or any part thereof under any covenants, conditions and restrictions or property owner association or authority; (xi) wages, salaries and compensation of employees, and fees for consulting, accounting and legal, and other necessary services allocated to the Property; and (xii) any other reasonable cost, charge, or expense which under generally accepted accounting principles would be regarded as a maintenance and operating expense of the Property.

4.3 - Exclusions. Except only as provided in the preceding subparagraph Operating Costs will not include nor will Tenant be obligated to pay for (a) rent paid to any ground lessor, (b) the cost of constructing tenant improvements for any other tenant of the Property; (c) the cost of special services, goods, or materials provided exclusively to any other tenant of the Property; (d) any self-insurance retention; (e) repairs covered by proceeds of insurance or from funds provided by Tenant or any other tenant of the Property (or where any other tenant of the Property is obligated to make such repairs or pay the cost of same); (f) legal fees, advertising costs, or other related expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the leasing of space to individual tenants of the Property; (g) repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, or replacements needed to rectify or correct any defects in the original design, materials, or workmanship of the Premises, Building, Property or Common Areas; (h) damage and repairs necessitated by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord’s employees, contractors, or agents; (i) executive salaries or salaries of service personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services not in connection with the management, operation, repair, or maintenance of the Property; (j) Landlord’s general overhead expenses not related to the Property; (k) legal fees, accountants’ fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with disputes of tenants or other occupants of the Property or associated with the enforcement of the terms of any leases with tenants or the defense of Landlord’s title to or interest in the Property or any part thereof; (I) costs incurred due to a violation by Landlord or any other tenant of the Property of the terms and conditions of a lease; (m) costs of any service provided to Tenant or other occupants of the Property for which Landlord is reimbursed; (n) depreciation; (o) principal, interest and fees paid on any loan secured by the Property; (p) fees and costs incurred in connection with the defense of Landlord’s title or interest in the Property, and (q) structural improvements and other costs and expenses which would be capitalized under generally accepted accounting principles, except as specifically set forth in Section 4.2 above.

4.4 - Partial Year Proration. During the last year of the Term, Tenant’s responsibility for Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs shall be adjusted in the proportion that the number of days of that calendar year during which the Lease is in effect bears to 365. Tenant’s obligations under this Article 4 for the payment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs during the Term, including the payment of any deficiency following receipt of the annual statement under Section 4.6, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

4.5 - Variable Cost Adjustment. If the mean level of occupancy of the Building during a calendar year is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area, the Operating Costs shall be adjusted to reflect the fact that some costs, such as air conditioning and janitorial services, vary with level of occupancy while other costs, such as real estate taxes, may not. In order to allocate those variable costs to occupied space while allocating non-variable costs to occupied and unoccupied space alike, Landlord shall determine what the total Operating Costs would have been had the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during the entire calendar year on the average, and that adjusted total shall be the figure

 

7


employed in the estimates and statements described in Section 4.6. If Landlord, by special arrangement with a tenant, excludes that tenant from receipt of services otherwise generally available to tenants, then Operating Costs shall be deemed to include what such services would have cost had they been provided to that tenant.

4.6 - Estimates and Annual Reconciliation. As soon as reasonably practicable prior to or near the commencement of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an estimate of Operating Costs for the ensuing calendar year and Tenant shall pay, as Rent hereunder together with each installment of Base Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount by which the estimated annual Operating Costs exceed the Base Year Costs. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar year during the Term Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the actual Operating Costs for the previous calendar year, and within thirty (30) days following the date of such notice Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between such actual and estimated Operating Costs paid by Tenant. Operating Costs for the year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated based upon the termination date of the Term.

4.7 - Certification and Inspection of Records. The annual statement of actual Operating Costs shall be certified to be correct by Landlord Landlord shall maintain accurate books and records with respect to all Operating Costs for a period of not less than one (1) year. Tenant shall have the right during Landlord’s normal business hours, at Landlord business offices, and upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to inspect Landlord’s records of Operating Costs on or before the first (1st) anniversary of Tenant’s receipt of the statement of the actual Operating Costs for the previous calendar year, but no later. No later than thirty (30) days after Landlord makes such records available for review, Tenant shall send Landlord notice specifying any exceptions that Tenant takes to matters included in such annual statement, Tenant’s detailed reasons for each exception that support a conclusion that such exception properly identifies an error in such annual statement, and a complete copy of the review report. If Tenant takes timely exception as provided herein, Landlord may seek certification from an independent certified public accountant or financial consultant (who shall be subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval) as to the proper amount of Operating Costs or the items as to which Tenant has taken exception. In such case, (i) such certification shall be considered final and binding on both parties (except as to additional amounts not then known or omitted by error), and (ii) Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of such certification, unless it shows that Operating Costs were overstated by a net amount of five percent (5%) or more. Pending review of such records and resolution of any exceptions, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs, subject to credit, refund or additional payment after any such exceptions are resolved.

 

5. ADDITIONAL TAXES.

5.1 - Excise Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord with each installment of Base Rent, Operating Costs, and any other payment made by Tenant under this Lease, any gross receipts, transaction privilege, sales or similar (but excluding income) tax payable by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s receipt of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs or any other payment made by Tenant under this Lease.

5.2 - Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any tax levied on Tenant’s personal property.

 

6. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

6.1 – Letter of Credit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within five (5) business days after the date hereof and in all instances before the delivery of the Premises to Tenant, an irrevocable, stand-by letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in the initial amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,00), subject to reduction as set forth in the schedule described below (the “LOC Amount”), issued in the name of Landlord as the beneficiary thereunder.

The remaining balance of the security deposit, if any, will be returned to Tenant upon termination of this Lease unless an Event of Default by Tenant then exists. Should Landlord be required to use Tenant’s security deposit, Tenant shall replenish the security deposit within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord.

Such abatement shall continue for the period commencing with the date of such damage or destruction and ending with the date the restoration is sufficiently complete that Tenant’s business may be fully resumed on the Premises.

14.2 - Termination Options. If Landlord determines, in its reasonable opinion, that the damage shall be so extensive that repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by written notice delivered to the other not later than twenty (20) days after notice of Landlord’s estimate of the time required for restoration is given by Landlord. Landlord shall provide such notice as soon as is practicable after the fire or other casualty occurs. Landlord also shall have the right to terminate this Lease, as of the date of such damage, by notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the casualty loss in the event: (a) the cost to repair the damage shall exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement value of the Building (regardless of the degree of damage to the Premises); or (b) more than forty percent (40%) of the Building is damaged (regardless of the degree of damage to the Premises). If this Lease is terminated, Rent shall be adjusted to the date of such damage and Tenant

 

17


shall vacate the Premises. If notice of termination is not timely given, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

14.3 - Insurance Proceeds. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.1 and Section 14.2, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or rebuild the Premises if the casualty loss occurs in the last three (3) years of the Term, or if Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds for that purpose, free of any claim by any lender on the Premises.

14.4 - Lease Provisions Control. Tenant hereby waives any statutory right to terminate this Lease or to have a reduction of Rent in the event of casualty loss or destruction, the rights of Tenant in such instance to be determined by this Article14.

15.1 - Termination or Restoration. If all or any portion of the Premises is taken by eminent domain or transferred under threat of such taking, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of taking only with respect to the portion of the Premises so taken. If the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain results in a material impairment of Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of taking by giving written notice thereof to Landlord within ten (10) days after such date of taking. If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, at its expense not to exceed the sum of the award received by Landlord, promptly restore the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements), exclusive of any improvements or other changes made by Tenant, to as near the condition which existed immediately prior to the date of taking as reasonably possible, and Base Rent payable under this Lease shall abate in the manner described in Article 14.

Inasmuch as the above mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto agrees if required by such policies to give to each insurance company which has issued to it all risk and other property insurance, written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers, and to have such policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of the waivers.

(Lease to Deed of Trust)

 

NOTICE:    THIS SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT RESULTS IN YOUR SECURITY INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY BECOMING SUBJECT TO AND OF LOWER PRIORITY THAN THE LIEN OF SOME OTHER OR LATER SECURITY INSTRUMENT.

THIS SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of             , 2012, by DAZ3-STAPLEY, L.L.C., a Missouri limited liability company, owner of the real property hereinafter described (“Owner”) and ULTHERA, INC., a Delaware corporation, under the lease agreement described below (“Lessee”), in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Lender”).

R E C I T A L S

 

B. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a lease dated June     , 2012 (“Lease”), Owner granted to Lessee a leasehold estate in and to a portion of the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (which property, together with all improvements now or hereafter located on the property, is defined as the “Property”).

 

C. Owner has executed a Deed of Trust with Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (as amended, modified, renewed or restated, the “Deed of Trust”) dated as of June 3, 2008 and recorded on June 4, 2008 as Instrument No. 2008-0493363 in the real estate records of Maricopa County, Arizona, securing, among other things, an Amended and Restated Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust (as amended, modified, renewed or restated, the “Note”), dated as of February 26, 2010, in favor of Lender, which Note is payable with interest and upon the terms and conditions described therein (“Loan”).

 

D. As a condition to making the Loan secured by the Deed of Trust, Lender requires that the Deed of Trust be unconditionally and at all times remain a lien on the Property, prior and superior to all the rights of Lessee under the Lease (including without limitation any options to purchase any part of the Property) and that the Lessee specifically and unconditionally subordinates the Lease and any such options to the lien of the Deed of Trust.


NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Owner and Lessee hereby agree for the benefit of Lender as follows:

SUBORDINATION, Owner and Lessee hereby agree that:

Prior Lien. The Deed of Trust securing the Note in favor of Lender, and any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof, shall unconditionally (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) be and at all times remain a lien on the Property prior and superior to the Lease, and to the extent the Lease predates the Deed of Trust, Lessee hereby subordinates the Lease to the Deed of Trust; and

Subordination. Lender would not approve the Lease without this agreement to subordinate.

AND FURTHER, Lessee individually declares, agrees and acknowledges for the benefit of Lender, that:

Use of Proceeds. Lender, in making disbursements pursuant to the Note, the Deed of Trust or any loan agreements with respect to the Property, is under no obligation or duty to. nor has Lender represented that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in such agreement or agreements shall not defeat this agreement to subordinate in whole or in part: and

Waiver. Relinquishment and Subordination. Lessee intentionally and unconditionally (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) waives, relinquishes and subordinates all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Property to the lien of the Deed of Trust and understands that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this waiver, relinquishment and subordination, specific loans and advances are being and will be made by Lender and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for said reliance upon this waiver, relinquishment and subordination.

ASSIGNMENT. Lessee acknowledges and consents to the assignment of the Lease by Lessor in favor of Lender. For purposes of the Lease, Lender hereby notifies Lessee that Lender’s address for notices as the holder of the Deed of Trust is the address set forth in Section 6.2 of this Agreement.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. Lessee covenants and agrees that, during all such times as Lender is the grantee under the Deed of Trust:

Modification, Termination and Cancellation. Except as set forth in the Lease. Lessee will not consent to any modification, amendment, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and will not make any payment to Lessor in consideration of any modification, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without Lender’s prior written consent:


Notice of Default. Lessee will notify Lender in writing concurrently with any notice given to Lessor of any default by Lessor under the Lease, and Lessee agrees that Lender has the right (but not the obligation) to cure any breach or default specified in such notice within the time periods set forth in the Lease;

No Advance Rents. Lessee will make no payments or prepayments of rent more than one (1) month in advance of the time when the same become due under the Lease; and

Assignment of Rents. Upon receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lender that Lender has elected to terminate the license granted to Lessor to collect rents, as provided in the Deed of Trust, and directing the payment of rents by Lessee to Lender. Lessee shall comply with such direction to pay and shall not be required to determine whether Lessor is in default under the Loan and/or the Deed of Trust. Owner hereby irrevocably authorizes Lessee to make payment as may be directed pursuant to this Section 3.4.

ATTORNMENT. In the event of a foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, Lessee agrees for the benefit of Lender (including for this purpose any transferee of Lender or any transferee of Lessor’s title in and to the Property by Lender’s exercise of the remedy of sale by foreclosure under the Deed of Trust) (a “Transfer”) as follows:

Payment of Rent, Lessee shall pay to Lender all rental payments required to be made by Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease for the duration of the term of the Lease;

Continuation of Performance. Lessee shall be bound to Lender in accordance with ail of the provisions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, and Lessee hereby attorns to Lender as its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Lender succeeding to Lessor’s interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Lessee:

No Offset. Lender shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Lessee may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor under the Lease prior to the date of the Transfer, nor for the return of any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to Lender; and

Subsequent Transfer. Lender, by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, shall be obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor thereunder from and after the date of the Transfer, but upon any further Transfer of Lessor’s interest by Lender, all of such obligations accruing after such further transfer shall terminate as to Lender.

NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event of a foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, so long as there shall then exist no breach, default, or event of default beyond any applicable grace period on the part of Lessee under the Lease, Lender agrees for itself and its


successors and assigns that the leasehold interest of Lessee under the Lease shall not be extinguished or terminated by reason of such foreclosure, but rather the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Lender shall recognize and accept Lessee as tenant under the Lease subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease except as modified by this Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee and Lender agree that the following provisions of the Lease (if any) shall not be binding on Lender; any option to purchase with respect to the Property; any right of first refusal with respect to the Property; [any provision regarding the use of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds with respect to the Property which is inconsistent with the terms of the Deed of Trust.]
