2.             PREMISES.

 

2.1           ACCEPTANCE.  Landlord Leases to Tenant, and Tenant Leases from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the Term of this Lease, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  The Premises is depicted on Exhibit ”A” attached hereto.  The Premises depicted on Exhibit ”A” is all or a part of a building (the “Building”) and may contain areas outside of the Building to the extent such areas are specifically identified on Exhibit ”A” as being a part of the Premises.  Tenant accepts the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements, and except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs or alterations to the Premises.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation

 

2



 

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.  The number of square feet set forth in Section 1.5 is an approximation, and the Base Rent shall not be changed if the actual number of square feet in the Premises is different than the number of square feet set forth in Section 1.5.

 

See Addendum Paragraph I

 

2.2           COMMON AREAS.  Landlord hereby grants to Tenant for the benefit of Tenant and its employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and invitees during the Term of this Lease, the nonexclusive right to use, in common with others entitled to such use (including Landlord), the Common Areas (as hereinafter defined) as they exist from time to time, subject to all rights reserved by Landlord hereunder and under the terms of all rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time with respect thereto.  Landlord reserves the right from time to time to (a) make changes in the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways; (b) close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available; (c) construct parking areas, loading dock facilities and other improvements within the Common Areas; and (d) do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas as Landlord may deem appropriate, so long as Landlord’s actions in connection with such rights set forth in clauses (a) through (d) above do not have a materially adverse effect on Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises during Landlord’s actions in connection with such changes.  As used herein, the term “Common Areas” means all areas and facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary lines of that land owned by Landlord that are provided and designated by Landlord as such from time to time for general nonexclusive use of Tenant and others, including, if designated by Landlord as Common Areas, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways and landscaped areas.  The Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the land upon which the same are located, along with all other buildings and improvements thereon, are herein collectively referred to as the “Project.”  Under no circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common Areas be deemed to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the Common Areas, including, without limitation, the storage of trucks or other vehicles, except as expressly provided hereinafter.  Any such storage shall be permitted only by the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be revoked at any time.  In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Landlord shall have the right,

 

3



 

without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the property and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will place storage containers in the parking areas of the Project and receive shipments from tractor trailers and other vehicles as part of Tenant’s operations at the Premises, and occasional overnight parking of such tractor trailers and/or other vehicles as well as the temporary placement of storage containers shall be permitted provided such tractor trailers are parked or such storage containers are placed in the parking spaces directly behind the Premises and do not interfere with the loading areas of other Tenants of the Building and are otherwise not unsightly on the Project.  Any such parking spaces used by Tenant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall otherwise be a parking space Tenant is permitted to use pursuant to Section 1.14 above and this provision shall not be construed to increase the number of parking spaces Tenant is permitted to use pursuant to Section 1.14 above.

 

3.             TERM.

 

3.1           TERM AND COMMENCEMENT DATE.  The term and Commencement Date of this Lease are as specified in Sections 1.7 and 1.8.  Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request, complete and execute the letter attached hereto as Exhibit ”B” and deliver it to Landlord.  Tenant’s failure to execute the letter attached hereto as Exhibit ”B” within said five (5) day period shall be a material default hereunder and shall constitute Tenant’s acknowledgment of the truth of the facts contained in the letter delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

 

3.2           DELAY IN POSSESSION.  Notwithstanding the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.8, if for any reason Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on said date, except as expressly provided in Paragraph 2 of the Addendum, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided, however, in such a case, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent or perform any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease, except as may be otherwise provided in this Lease, until possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant.

 

See Addendum Paragraph 2

 

3.3           DELAYS CAUSED BY TENANT.  [Intentionally omitted].

 

3.4           TENDER OP POSSESSION.  [Intentionally omitted].

 

3.5           EARLY POSSESSION.  If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions of this

 

4



 

Lease, such occupancy shall not change the termination date, and Tenant shall pay Base Rent and all other charges provided for in this Lease during the period of such occupancy.  Provided that Tenant does not interfere with or delay the completion by Landlord or its agents or contractors of the construction of any Tenant improvements, and provided Landlord has possession of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises prior to the anticipated Commencement Date for the purpose of installing furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, racking and similar items.  Tenant shall be liable for any damages or delays caused by Tenant’s activities at the Premises.  [Provided that Tenant has not begun operating its business from the Premises, and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, the foregoing activity shall not constitute the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant and the Lease Term shall not commence as a result of said activities.]  Prior to entering the Premises, Tenant shall obtain all insurance it is required to obtain by the Lease and shall provide certificates of said insurance to Landlord.  Tenant shall coordinate such entry with Landlord’s manager, and such entry shall be made in compliance with all terms and conditions of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations attached hereto.

 

4.             USE.

 

4.1           PERMITTED USE.  The Premises shall be used only for the purpose described in Section 1.6 and for no other purpose.  Landlord makes no representation or warranty that Tenant’s use is permitted by applicable zoning laws or other laws and regulations, including without limitation, Tenant’s intended use of that portion of the Premises designated as “Retail Space” on Exhibit A for retail sales use.  A letter from Anne Arundel County, Maryland obtained by Tenant permitting such use is attached hereto as Exhibit E.  Tenant shall not initiate, submit an application for, or otherwise request, any land use approvals or entitlements with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Project, including, without limitation, any variance, conditional use permit or rezoning, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Tenant shall not (a) permit any animals or pets to be brought to or kept in the Premises, (b) except as expressly provided in Paragraph 11 of the Addendum attached hereto, install any antenna, dish or other device on the roof of the Building or outside of the Premises, (c) make any penetrations into the roof of the Building, (d) place loads upon floors, walls or ceilings in excess of the load such items were designed to carry, (e) except as expressly permitted in Section 2.2, place or store, nor permit any other person or entity to place or store, any property, equipment, materials, supplies or other items outside of the Building in which the Premises is located or (f) change the exterior of the Premises or the Building in which the Premises is located.  In addition to Tenant’s parking spaces granted under Section 1.14, Tenant shall have the right to use fifteen (15) parking spaces, more particularly shown on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, for parking for its retail store.  In addition, if, as a result of Tenant’s use of

 

5



 

the Premises for retail sales, Landlord is obligated to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act or any other law or regulation and such compliance requires Landlord to make any improvement or alterations to any portion of the Project, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay to Landlord the entire cost of any improvement or alteration Landlord is obligated to complete by such law or regulation pursuant to Section 4.2 below.

 

4.2           COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, promptly comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, certificates of occupancy, conditional use or other permits, variances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, and requirements of any fire insurance underwriters, rating bureaus or government agencies, now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now existing (collectively, “Legal Requirements”), during the Term or any part of the Term hereof, relating to the Premises and arising from the occupation and use by Tenant of the Premises.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, comply with all requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act that relate to the Premises, and all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing occupational safety and health.  Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with or endanger Landlord or any other Tenants of the Project.  Tenant shall obtain, at its sole expense, any permit or other governmental authorization required to operate its business from the Premises.  Landlord shall not be liable for the failure of any other Tenant or person to abide by the requirements of this Section or to otherwise comply with applicable laws and regulations, and Tenant shall not be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Lease due to such a failure.  Landlord warrants to Tenant that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, the Project, in the state existing on the date this Lease is executed by Landlord and Tenant, but without regard to alterations or improvements to be made by Tenant or the use for which Tenant will occupy the Premises, does not violate any Legal Requirements in effect on such date.  To the extent that Landlord receives any notice from a governmental entity that the Project is in violation of any Legal Requirement and Landlord is obligated pursuant to a final determination to undertake action in order to comply with any such Legal Requirement, then in such event Landlord agrees to undertake such remedial action.  If such Legal Requirement was in effect as of the date hereof and such violation existed as of the date hereof, Landlord shall be responsible for the cost of curing such violation and such costs shall not be included in Operating Expenses.  If such Legal Requirement was not in effect as of the date hereof or such violation did not exist as of the date hereof, then the cost of curing such violation shall be included in Operating Expenses, except to the extent such costs would otherwise be excluded from Operating Expenses pursuant to the terms of Section 6 hereof.  To the extent that such notice requires action with regard to

 

6



 

Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, Tenant shall be obligated to undertake such action at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

5.             BASE RENT.  Tenant shall pay base rent in the amount set forth on the first page of this Lease. The first month’s Base Rent, the Security Deposit, and the first monthly installment of estimated Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) shall be due and payable on the date this Lease is executed by Tenant, and Tenant promises to pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly installments of Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date. Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be payable at such address as Landlord may specify from time to time by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set off any rent due hereunder except where expressly provided in this Lease.

 

See Addendum Paragraph 3

 

6.             OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS.

 

6.1           OPERATING EXPENSES.  Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Percentage Share (as defined below) of the Operating Expenses for the Project.  For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses and disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations set forth below) which Landlord incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Project (including the associated Common Areas), including, but not limited to, the following:

 

(a)           wages and salaries (including reasonable management fees) of all employees, agents, consultants and other individuals or entities engaged in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, and security of the Project, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto;

 

(b)           all supplies and materials used in the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and security of the Project;

 

(c)           annual cost of all Capital Improvements (as defined below) made to the Project which although capital in nature can at the time undertaken reasonably be expected to reduce the normal operating costs of the Project, as well as all Capital Improvements made in order to comply with any law now or hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority, as amortized over the useful economic life of such improvements as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion (without regard to the

 

7



 

period over which such improvements may be depreciated or amortized for federal income tax purposes);

 

(d)           cost of all utilities paid by Landlord;

 

(e)           cost of any insurance or insurance related expense applicable to the Project and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, the insurance costs described in Section 10.2;

 

(f)            cost of repairs, replacements and general maintenance of the Project (including all truck court areas, paving and parking areas, Common Area lighting facilities, fences, gates, water lines, sewer lines, rail spur areas and any other item Landlord is obligated to repair or maintain), other than costs necessary to assure the structural soundness of the roof, foundation and exterior walls of the Project which are payable solely by Landlord under Section 11;

 

(g)           cost of service or maintenance contracts with independent contractors for the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or security of the Project (including, without limitation, alarm service, exterior painting, trash collection, snow, ice, debris and waste removal and landscape maintenance);

 

(h)           the cost of all reasonable accounting fees, management fees, legal fees and consulting fees attributable to the operation, management, maintenance or repair of the Project;

 

(i)            payments made by Landlord under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant or other agreement relating to the sharing of costs among property owners;

 

(j)            reserves created by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole but reasonable discretion, for future Operating Expenses or the future replacement of Capital Improvements;

 

(k)           the cost of all business licenses, permits or similar fees relating to the operation, ownership, repair or maintenance of the Project; and

 

(l)            the cost of any other Item the cost of which is stated in this Lease to be an Operating Expense.

 

For purposes of this Lease, a “Capital Improvement” shall be an improvement to the Project that Landlord is obligated to make pursuant to this Lease (other than the Office Work, Code Compliance Work and Demising Work more particularly defined in Paragraph 10 of the Addendum), the cost of which is not fully deductible in the year

 

8



 

incurred in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Real Property Taxes (as defined below) shall be reimbursed to Landlord as provided below and shall not be treated as an Operating Expense.  References to facilities, services, utilities or other items in this Section shall not impose an obligation on Landlord to have said facilities or to provide said services unless such facilities and services already exist at the Project.

 

6.2           OPERATING EXPENSE EXCLUSIONS.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include the following:  (i) costs (including permit, license and inspection fees) incurred for Tenant improvements for other Tenants within the Project; (ii) legal and auditing fees (other than those fees reasonably incurred in connection with the maintenance and operation of all or any portion of the Project), leasing commissions, advertising expenses and similar costs incurred in connection with the leasing of the Project; (iii) depreciation of the Building or any other improvements situated within the Project; (iv) any items for which Landlord is actually reimbursed by insurance or by direct reimbursement by any other Tenant of the Project; (v) costs of repairs or other work necessitated by fire, windstorm or other casualty (excluding any deductibles) and/or costs of repair or other work necessitated by the exercise of the right of eminent domain to the extent insurance proceeds or a condemnation award, as applicable, is actually received by Landlord for such purposes; provided, such costs of repairs or other work shall be paid by the parties in accordance with the provisions of Sections 11 and 12, below; (vi) other than any interest charges for Capital Improvements referred to in Section 6.1(c) hereinabove, any interest or payments on any financing for the Building or the Project and interest and penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of any invoice; (vii) costs associated with the investigation and/or remediation of Hazardous Materials (hereafter defined) present in, on or about any portion of the Project, unless such costs and expenses are the responsibility of Tenant as provided In Section 27 hereof, in which event such costs and expenses shall be paid solely by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 27 hereof; (viii) overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods and/or services in the Project to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; (ix) any payments under a ground Lease or master Lease; and (x) except as provided in Section 6.1(c) and (j) above, the cost of Capital Improvements.

 

6.3           PAYMENT.  Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses is presented to Tenant by Landlord.  At Landlord’s option, however, Landlord may, from time to time, estimate what Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses will be, and the same shall be payable by Tenant monthly during each calendar year of the Lease Term, on the same day as the Base Rent is

 

9



 

due hereunder.  In the event that Tenant pays Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall use its best efforts to deliver to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement (the “Statement”) showing Tenant’s Percentage Share of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such year.  Landlord’s failure to deliver the Statement to Tenant within said period shall not constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to collect said amounts or otherwise prejudice Landlord’s rights hereunder.  If Tenant’s payments under this Section during said calendar year exceed Tenant’s Percentage Share as indicated on the Statement, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment against Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses next falling due.  If Tenant’s payments under this Section during said calendar year were less than Tenant’s Percentage Share as indicated on the Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the Statement.  Landlord and Tenant shall forthwith adjust between them by cash payment any balance determined to exist with respect to that portion of the last calendar year for which Tenant is responsible for Operating Expenses, notwithstanding that the Lease Term may have terminated before the end of such calendar year; and this provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

 

6.4           TENANT’S PERCENTAGE SHARE.  “Tenant’s Percentage Share” as used in this Lease shall mean the percentage of the cost of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes (as defined below) for which Tenant is obligated to reimburse Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

 

See Addendum Paragraph 4

 

6.5           AUDITS.  If Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole expense except as expressly provided to the contrary hereinbelow, not later than sixty (60) days following receipt of such Statement, to cause Landlord’s books and records with respect to the calendar year which is the subject of the Statement to be audited by a certified public accountant mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.  The audit shall take place at the offices of Landlord where its books and records are located at a mutually convenient time during Landlord’s regular business hours.  Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses shall be appropriately adjusted based upon the results of such audit, and the results of such audit shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant shall have no right to conduct an audit or to give Landlord notice that it desires to conduct an audit at any time Tenant is in default under the Lease.  The accountant conducting the audit shall be compensated on an hourly basis and shall not be compensated based upon a percentage of overcharges it discovers.  No subtenant shall have any right to conduct an audit, and no assignee shall conjunct an audit for any period during

 

10



 

which such assignee was not in possession of the Premises.  Tenant’s right to undertake an audit with respect to any calendar year shall expire sixty (60) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement for such calendar year and such Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant and shall, as between the parties, be conclusively deemed correct, at the end of such sixty (60) day period, unless prior thereto Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice of its intention to audit Operating Expanses for the calendar year which is the subject of the Statement.  If Tenant gives Landlord notice of its intention to audit Operating Expenses, it must commence such audit within sixty (60) days after such notice is delivered to Landlord, and the audit must be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days altar such notice is delivered to Landlord.  If Tenant does not commence and complete the audit within such periods, the Statement which Tenant elected to audit shall be deemed final and binding upon Tenant and shall, as between the parties, be conclusively deemed correct.  Tenant agrees that the results of any Operating Expense audit shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such audit determines that an error has been made in Landlord’s determination and calculation of Operating Expenses which results in an adjustment to the amounts determined and calculated by Landlord of five percent (5%) or more, Landlord shall pay for the fees and expenses of the accounting firm conducting the audit on Tenant’s behalf (provided such fees shall not exceed the total amount of Landlord’s refund to Tenant in connection with any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8.5), but if such adjustment is less than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay for such fees and expenses for such accounting firm.

 

7.             SECURITY DEPOSIT.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at the time it executes this Lease the security deposit set forth in Section 1.13 as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease after expiration of any applicable cure periods, Landlord may use all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any Base Rent or other charge due hereunder, to pay any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to its full amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general accounts. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other amount for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the Term hereof, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created

 

11



 

herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to said security deposit. Tenant acknowledges that the security deposit is not an advance payment of any kind or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the event of Tenant’s default. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law which is inconsistent with this Section. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord agrees, at Tenant’s request, to review Tenant’s financial condition following the expiration of the twenty-fourth calendar month of the Term and if Tenant’s financial condition is at least as strong as it was as of the Commencement Date of this Lease (i.e., Tenant’s net worth is no less than it was on the Commencement Date), then Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant.

 

8.             UTILITIES.

 

8.1           PAYMENT.  Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, refuse and trash collection and other utilities and services used on the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining thereto.  If the Premises are separately metered, Tenant shall contract directly with the applicable public utility for such services.  In the event Tenant is unable to obtain separate utility service, the utility service may be obtained in Landlord’s name and Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent all costs for Tenant’s usage of such utilities.  In addition, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Percentage Share of electricity supplied to the Common Areas of the Project in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of the Lease.  Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer for normal restroom use, and nothing herein contained shall impose upon Landlord any duty to provide sewer or water usage for other than normal restroom usage.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, in the event any such utilities and services are not separately metered, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Percentage Share (based on [***]%) of all of the costs incurred for the utilities and services referenced in this Section 8.1 with respect to the Premises and such expenses shall not be subject to the phased in Percentage Shares referenced in Paragraph 4 of the Addendum.

 

8.2           INTERRUPTIONS.  Unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for its failure to furnish water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, refuse and trash collection or any other utility services or building services when such failure is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements or improvements, by any strike, lookout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, telephone service or other utility at the Project, by any accident, casualty or event arising from any cause whatsoever, including the negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors, by act, negligence or default of Tenant or any other person or entity, or by any other cause, and such failures shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from the obligation of paying rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. 

 

12



 

Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for loss of property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any such services or utilities.  Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any governmental entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any interruption of utilities or services shall continue for more than ten (10) consecutive business days and shall render all or any portion of the Premises unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, and if Tenant does not in fact use such portion of the Premises, then all Bass Rent and additional rent payable hereunder with respect to such portion of the Premises which Tenant does not use shall be abated from and after the eleventh (11th) consecutive business day until full use of such portion of the Premises is restored to Tenant.

 

8.3           RAILROAD SPURS.  If the Premises is served by a railroad spur, Tenant shall execute any agreement required by the railroad company serving the railroad spur, and such agreement shall be satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Tenant shall pay the cost of maintaining the railroad spur, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

8.4           (Intentionally Omitted).

 

9.             REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

 

9.1           PAYMENT OF TAXES.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Term of this Lease, in addition to Base Rent and Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant’s Percentage Share of all Real Property Taxes.  Tenant’s Percentage Share of Real Property Taxes shall be payable by Tenant at the same time, in the same manner and under the same terms and conditions as Tenant pays Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses.

 

9.2           DEFINITION OF REAL PROPERTY TAX.  As used herein, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, improvement bond or bonds imposed on the Project or any portion thereof by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, lire, street, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project or in any portion thereof.  Real Property Taxes shall not include income, inheritance and gift taxes.

9.4           REASSESSMENTS.  From time to time Landlord may challenge the assessed value of the Project as determined by applicable taxing authorities and/or Landlord may attempt to cause the Real Property Taxes to be reduced on other grounds.  If Landlord is successful in causing the Real Property Taxes to be reduced or in obtaining a refund, rebate, credit or similar benefit (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “reduction”), Landlord shall, credit the reduction(s) to Real Property Taxes for the calendar year to which a reduction applies and to recalculate the Real Property Taxes owed by Tenant for years in which the reduction applies based on the reduced Real Property Taxes.  All costs incurred by Landlord in obtaining the Real Property Tax reductions shall be considered an Operating Expense, and Landlord shall determine, in its sole discretion, to which years any reductions will be applied.  In addition, all accounting and related costs incurred by Landlord in making the adjustments shall be an Operating Expense.  Landlord shall have the right to compensate a person or entity it employs to obtain a reduction in Real Property Taxes by giving such person or entity a market-rate percentage of any reduction or credit obtained, and in this event the reduction or credit obtained by Landlord shall be deemed to be the reduction or credit given by the taxing authority less the compensation paid to such person or entity.

10.3         INSURANCE POLICIES.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of the insurance policies required under Section 10.1 within fifteen (15) days prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to approve the terms and conditions of said policies.  Tenant’s insurance policies shall not be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.  Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals thereof.  Tenant’s insurance policies shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Project is located, and said companies shall maintain during the policy term a “General Policyholder’s Rating” of at least A and a financial rating of at least “Class X” (or such other rating as may be required by any lender having a lien on the Project) as set forth in the most recent edition of “Best Insurance Reports.”  All insurance obtained by Tenant shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Landlord, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.  Landlord and, at Landlord’s option, the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project and any parson or entity managing the Project on behalf of Landlord, shall be named as an additional insured on all insurance policies Tenant is obligated to obtain by Section 10.1 above.  Tenant’s insurance policies shall not include deductibles in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).

 

10.4         WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.  Landlord waives any and all rights of recovery against Tenant for or arising out of damage to, or destruction of, the Project to the extent that Landlord’s insurance policies then in force insure against such damage or destruction and permit such waiver, and only to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for such damage or destruction.  Landlord’s waiver shall not relieve Tenant from liability under Section 19 below except to the extent Landlord’s insurance company actually satisfies Tenant’s obligations under Section 19 in accordance with the requirements of Section 19.  Tenant waives any and all rights of recovery against Landlord, Landlord’s employees, agents and contractors for liability or damages if such liability or damage is covered by Tenant’s insurance policies then in force or the insurance policies Tenant is required to obtain by Section 10.1 (whether or not the insurance Tenant is required to obtain by Section 10.1 is then in force and effect), whichever is broader.  Tenant’s waiver shall not be limited by the amount of insurance then carried by Tenant or the deductibles applicable thereto.  Tenant shall cause the insurance policies it obtains In accordance with this Section 10 to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by subrogation against Landlord in connection with any liability or damage covered by Tenant’s insurance policies.

11.           LANDLORD’S REPAIRS.  Landlord shall keep and maintain the Project (excluding the interior of the Premises and space leased to other occupants of the Project) in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. The structural elements of the roof of the Building (excluding the roof membrane), the structural soundness of the foundation of the Building, and the structural elements of the exterior walls of the Building and external utility lines (collectively, “Structural Elements”) shall be maintained and repaired at Landlord’s expense, and as more fully set forth in Section 12.2 below, the cost of all of the other maintenance and repair obligations of the Landlord (“Landlord Maintenance Items”) shall be passed through to Tenant as an Operating Expense.

By way of example, and not limitation, the term “exterior walls” as used in this Section shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries. Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any Structural Element repair required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable time (under the circumstances) in which to complete the repair. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to obligate Landlord to seal or otherwise maintain the surface of any foundation, floor or slab. Except as expressly provided hereinafter, Tenant expressly waives the benefits or any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, in the event Landlord fails to undertake and diligently pursue any repair to the Premises required to be made by Landlord pursuant to this Section 11 or Section 12.2 below within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice, then Tenant shall have the right to make any such repair in accordance with Section 13 of the Lease, provided Landlord has failed to commence to make such repair during such thirty (30) day period. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of making any such repair in accordance with the provisions hereof within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Tenant shall have no right to set-off any sums incurred by Tenant pursuant to this provision nor shall

18



 

time all or some of the exterior wails, canopies, doors, windows, gutters, handrails and other exterior parts of the Premises with colors selected by Landlord.  If the Premises contains landscaped areas, maintenance and repair of the same shall be Landlord Maintenance Items.  Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any repair or maintenance required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable time (under the circumstances) in which to complete such repair or maintenance.  Landlord shall include the cost of Landlord Maintenance Items in Operating Expenses, and Tenant shall then pay Tenant’s Percentage Share of such costs as determined by Landlord in accordance with Section 6.3 above.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary elsewhere in the Lease, there shall be no abatement of rent or liability to Tenant on account of any injury or interference with Tenant’s business with respect to any improvements, alterations or repairs made by Landlord to the Project or any part thereof in connection with this Section 12.2.

 

12.3         Intentionally Omitted.

 

13.           ALTERATIONS AND SURRENDER.

 

13.1         CONSENT OF LANDLORD.  Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, make any alterations, improvements, additions, utility installations or repairs (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Alterations”) in, on or about the Premises or the Project.  Alterations shall include, but shall not be limited to, the installation or alteration of security or fire protection systems, communication systems, millwork, shelving, retrieval or storage systems, carpeting or other floor covering, painting, window and wall coverings, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, telephone or computer system wiring, HVAC and plumbing.  At the expiration of the term, Landlord may require the removal of any Alterations installed by Tenant and the restoration of the Premises and the Project to their prior condition, at Tenant’s expense.  To the extent Landlord’s consent is required pursuant to this Section, at the written request of Tenant, Landlord agrees to notify Tenant concurrently with Landlord’s consent to such Alteration whether Landlord will require Tenant to remove such Alteration at the end of the Term.  If, as a result of any Alteration made by Tenant, Landlord is obligated to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act or any other law or regulation, and such compliance requires Landlord to make any improvement or Alteration to any portion of the Project, as a condition to Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay to Landlord prior to the construction of any Alteration by Tenant the entire cost of any improvement or alteration Landlord is obligated to complete by such law or regulation.  Should Landlord permit Tenant to make its own Alterations, Tenant shall use only such architect and contractor as has been expressly approved by Landlord (exercising reasonable discretion), and,

 

19



 

with respect to any Alterations costing more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in any one instance, Landlord may require Tenant to provide to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such Alterations, to insure Landlord against any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and to insure completion of the work.  In addition, except with respect to (i) Alterations not requiring Landlord’s consent pursuant to this provision and other non-structural Alterations not requiring plans or permits, or (ii) Alteration made in connection with Tenant’s initial buildout of the retail space, or (iii) the installation of Tenant’s trade fixtures and equipment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of the Alterations to compensate Landlord for the overhead and other costs it incurs in reviewing the plans for the Alterations and in monitoring the construction of the Alterations.  Should Tenant make any Alterations without the prior approval of Landlord, or use a contractor not expressly approved by Landlord, Landlord may, at any time during the Term of this Lease, require that Tenant remove all or part of the Alterations and return the Premises to the condition it was in prior to the making of the Alternations.  In the event Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to obtain or cause its contractor to obtain, prior to the commencement of any work, “builders all risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord, workers compensation insurance and any other insurance requested by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to make non-structural Alterations to the Premises without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, provided that (i) such Alterations do not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000,00) in cost in any twelve (12) month period; (ii) Tenant provides Landlord with prior written notice of its intention to make such Alterations together with the plans and specifications for the same; (iii) Tenant provides Landlord a reasonable period of time to review Tenant’s plan of such Alteration; (iv) any such Alteration to the Premises does not affect any of the base Building systems; (v) any such Alterations are not visible from the exterior of the Building; (vi) any such Alterations do not affect the structural integrity of the Building; (vii) Tenant adheres to all applicable government regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, and obtains any necessary permits in making such Alterations; and (viii) all work is otherwise performed in compliance with this Section 13.  For purposes of the Lease, it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to require Tenant to perform Alterations during non-business hours if such Alterations will create unreasonable noise, noxious fumes or otherwise interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the other tenants in the Building.

 

13.2         PERMITS.  Any Alterations in or about the Premises that Tenant shall desire to make shall be presented to Landlord in written form, with plans and specifications which are sufficiently detailed to obtain a building permit.  If Landlord consents to an Alteration, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant acquiring a

 

20



 

building permit from the applicable governmental agencies, furnishing a copy thereof to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work, and compliance by Tenant with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built plans and specifications for any Alterations made to the Premises.

 

13.3         MECHANICS LIENS.  Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or the Project, or any interest therein.  If Tenant shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a surety bond or other financial arrangements satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to not less than one and one-half times the amount of such contested lien claim indemnifying Landlord against liability arising out of such lien or claim.  Such bond shall be sufficient in form and amount to free the Project from the effect of such lien.  In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in participating in such action.

 

13.4         NOTICE.  Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days’ advance written notice prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right to post notices or non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the Project.

 

13.5         SURRENDER.  Subject to Landlord’s right to require removal or to elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises shall be the property of Tenant, but shall be considered to be a part of the Premises.  Unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of its election not to become the owner of the Alterations at the end of the Term of this Lease, the Alterations shall become the property of Landlord at the end of the Term of this Lease.  Landlord may require, on notice to Tenant (at the end of the Term unless required to do so at the time of Landlord’s consent to such Alteration in accordance with Section 13.1 above), that some or all Alterations be removed prior to the end of the Term of this Lease and that any damages caused by such removal be repaired at Tenant’s sole expense.  On the last day of the Term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Tenant shall surrender the Premises (including, but not limited to, all doors, windows, floors and floor coverings, skylights, heating and air conditioning systems, dock boards, truck doors, dock bumpers, plumbing work and fixtures, electrical systems, lighting facilities, sprinkler systems, fire detection systems and nonstructural elements of the exterior walls, foundation and roof (collectively the “Elements of the Premises”)) to Landlord in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage excepted, clean and free of debris and Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures and equipment.  Tenant’s personal property shall include all computer wiring and

 

21



 

cabling installed by Tenant.  Provided, however, if Landlord has not elected to have Tenant remove the Alterations, Tenant shall leave the Alterations at the Premises in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment.  Damage to or deterioration of any Element of the Premises or any other item Tenant is required to repair or maintain at the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices.  If the Premises are not surrendered at the expiration of the term or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Section, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the payment of Base Rent and all other amounts due under this Lease until the Premises are so surrendered in accordance with said provisions.  Except as otherwise modified in Section 33 herein, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any claim against Landlord made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded on or resulting from such delay and losses and damages suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to Lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding Tenant or prospective Tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

13.6         FAILURE OF TENANT TO REMOVE PROPERTY.  If this Lease is terminated due to the expiration of its term or otherwise, and Tenant fails to timely remove its property, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, and subject to any other right or remedy Landlord may have under applicable law, Landlord may remove any property of Tenant from the Premises and store the same elsewhere at the expense and risk of Tenant.

 

14.           DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.

 

14.1         EFFECT OF DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.  If all or part of the Project is damaged by fire, earthquake, flood, explosion, the elements, riot, the release or existence of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) or by any other cause whatsoever (hereinafter collectively referred to as “damages”), but the damages are not material (as defined in Section 14.2 below), Landlord shall repair the damages to the Project as soon as is reasonably possible, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.  If all or part of the Project is destroyed or materially damaged (as defined in Section 14.2 below), Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and complete discretion, to repair or to rebuild the Project or to terminate this Lease.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, within sixty (60) days but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the discovery of such material damage or destruction notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s intention to repair or to rebuild or to terminate this Lease.  Tenant

 

22



 

shall in no event be entitled to compensation or damages on account of annoyance or inconvenience in making any repairs, or on account of construction, or on account of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall elect to rebuild or repair the Project after material damage or destruction, but in good faith determines that the Premises cannot be substantially repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days after the data of the discovery of the material damage or destruction, without payment of overtime or other premiums, and the damage to the Project will render the entire Premises unusable during said two hundred seventy (270) day period, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof in writing at the time of Landlord’s election to rebuild or repair, and Tenant shall thereafter have a period of thirty (30) days within which Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease, upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Landlord.  Tenant’s termination right described in the preceding sentence shall not apply if the damage was caused by the negligent or intentional acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees.  Failure of Tenant to exercise said election within said thirty (30) day period shall constitute Tenant’s agreement to accept delivery of the Premises under this Lease whenever tendered by Landlord, provided Landlord thereafter pursues reconstruction or restoration diligently to completion, subject to delays caused by Force Majeure Events.  Subject to Section 14.3 below, if Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease in accordance with this Section 14.1, Tenant shall continue to pay all Base Rent, Operating Expenses and other amounts due hereunder which arise prior to the date of termination.

 

14.2         DEFINITION OF MATERIAL DAMAGE.  Damage to the Project shall be deemed material if more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the Premises is damaged or destroyed.  Damage to the Project shall also be deemed material if (a) the Project cannot be rebuilt or repaired to substantially the same condition it was in prior to the damage due to laws or regulations in effect at the time the repairs will be made, (b) the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project requires that insurance proceeds available to repair the damage in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) be applied to the repayment of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage or the deed of trust, or (c) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Section 28.1 of this Lease, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to require any future holder of any mortgage or deed of trust to release such insurance proceeds to Landlord for repair of the damage to the Project.

 

14.3         ABATEMENT OF RENT.  If Landlord elects to repair damage to the Project and all or part of the Premises will be unusable or inaccessible to Tenant in the ordinary conduct of its business until the damage is repaired, and the damage was not caused by the negligence or intentional acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant’s Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of

 

23



 

Operating Expenses shall be abated until the repairs are completed in proportion to the amount of the Premises which is unusable or inaccessible to Tenant in the ordinary conduct of its business.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no abatement of Base Rent or Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses by reason of any portion of the Premises being unusable or inaccessible for a period equal to five (5) consecutive business days or less.

 

14.4         TENANT’S ACTS.  If such damage or destruction occurs as a result of the negligence or the intentional acts of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, and the proceeds of insurance which are actually received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay for the repair of all of the damage, Tenant shall pay, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to Landlord upon demand, the difference between the cost of repairing the damage and the insurance proceeds received by Landlord.

 

14.5         TENANT’S PROPERTY.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees or customers for loss or damage to merchandise, Tenant improvements, fixtures, automobiles, furniture, equipment, computers, files or other property (hereinafter collectively “Tenant’s property”) located at the Project.  Tenant shall repair or replace all of Tenant’s property at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Tenant acknowledges that it is Tenant’s sole responsibility to obtain adequate insurance coverage to compensate Tenant for damage to Tenant’s property.

 

14.6         WAIVER.  Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statutes which relate to the termination of leases when leased property is damaged or destroyed and agree that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.

 

15.           CONDEMNATION.  If any portion of the Premises or the Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so much of the Premises or Project are taken by such condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and profitability of Tenant’s business conducted from the Premises, and said taking is reasonably expected to lasts for ninety (90) days or more, Tenant shall have the option, to be exercised only in writing within forty-five (45) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within forty-five (45) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If a taking is reasonably expected to last for less than ninety (90) days, Tenant’s rent shall be abated during said period but Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease. If Tenant

 

24



 

does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be reduced in the proportion that the usable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total usable floor area of the Premises. Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Tenant and no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof. Landlord shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written notice to Tenant of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Project provided that all leases for spaces similarly affected are also terminated. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, for good will, for the taking of the fee, as severance damages, or as damages for tenant improvements; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or damage to Tenant’s removable personal property and for moving expenses. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, and subject to the requirements of any lender that has made a loan to Landlord encumbering the Project, Landlord shall to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Project caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. This Section, not general principles of law, shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the condemnation of all or any portion of the Project.

 

16.           ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

16.4         ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.  The following terms and conditions shall be applicable to any Transfer:

 

27



 

(a)           Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no Transfer shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations hereunder or after the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and other sums due Landlord hereunder and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder or release any guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty.

 

(b)           Landlord may accept rent from any person other than Tenant pending approval or disapproval of an assignment or subletting.

 

(c)           Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of a Transfer, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Landlord’s right to exercise its rights and remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Section 16.

 

(d)           The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent Transfer by Tenant or to any subsequent or successive Transfer by an assignee or subtenant.  However, Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers or any amendments or modifications thereto which do not increase Tenant’s obligations hereunder without notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease, although Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Tenant of Landlord’s consent to any subsequent Transfer at the address last provided in writing to Landlord for Tenant’s notice address.

 

(e)           In the event of any default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of this Lease, Including any subtenant or assignee, without first exhausting Landlord’s remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security held by Landlord.

 

(f)            Landlord’s written consent to any Transfer by Tenant shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then-existing default.

 

(g)           The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Landlord in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false shall, at Landlord’s election, render Landlord’s consent null and void.

 

(h)           Landlord shall not be liable under this Lease or under any sublease to any subtenant.

 

28



 

(i)            No assignment or sublease may be modified or amended without Landlord’s prior written consent.

 

(j)            [Intentionally Omitted]

 

(k)           Any assignee of, or subtenant under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the benefit of Landlord, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Tenant during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Landlord has specifically consented in writing.

 

(l)            At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, Landlord’s standard consent to assignment or consent to sublease agreement, as applicable, executed by Tenant, the assignee and the subtenant, as applicable.

 

16.5         ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING.  The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

 

(a)           Tenant hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant’s Interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease entered into by Tenant, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default shall occur in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease.  Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such rents to Landlord nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a subtenant, be deemed to have assumed or recognized any sublease or to be liable to the subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with any of Tenant’s obligations to such subtenant under such sublease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligation to return any security deposit.  Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord the rents due as they become due under the sublease, Tenant agrees that such subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that such subtenant shall pay such rents to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such

 

29



 

default exists and notwithstanding any notice or claim from Tenant to the contrary.

 

(b)           In the event Tenant shall default in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require any subtenant to attorn to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such subtenant to Tenant or for any other prior defaults of Tenant under such sublease.

 

16.6         TRANSFER PREMIUM FROM ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING.  Landlord shall be entitled to receive from Tenant (as and when received by Tenant) as an item of additional rent one-half of all amounts received by Tenant from the subtenant or assignee in excess of the amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (hereinafter the Transfer Premium).  The Transfer Premium shall be reduced by the reasonable brokerage commissions and legal fees actually paid by Tenant in order to assign the Lease or to sublet a portion of the Premises.  “Transfer Premium” shall mean all Base Rent, additional rent or other consideration of any type whatsoever payable by the assignee or subtenant in excess of the Base Rent and additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease.  If less than all of the Premises is transferred, the Base Rent and the additional rent shall be determined on a per-leasable-square-foot basis.  The provisions of this Section 16.6 shall not apply with respect to any Permitted Transfer (as that term is defined in Paragraph 6 of the Addendum).

 

16.7         LANDLORD’S OPTION TO RECAPTURE SPACE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 16, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any request by Tenant (i) to assign this Lease, or (ii) to sublease space in the Premises if the term of such sublease is scheduled to expire during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of the Lease, to terminate this Lease with respect to said space as of the date thirty (30) days after Landlord’s election.  In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Base Rent, Operating Expenses and the number of parking spaces Tenant may use shall be adjusted on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the original Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of same.  If Landlord recaptures only a portion of the Premises, it shall construct and erect at its sole cost such partitions as may be required to sever the space to be retained by Tenant from the space recaptured by Landlord.  Landlord may, at its option, Lease any recaptured portion of the

 

30



 

Premises to the proposed subtenant or assignee or to any other person or entity without liability to Tenant.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the profit, if any, Landlord may realize on account of such termination and reletting.  Tenant acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to enable Landlord to receive profit in the form of higher rent or other consideration to be received from an assignee or subtenant, to give Landlord the ability to meet additional space requirements of other Tenants of the Project and to permit Landlord to control the leasing of space in the Project.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the requirements of this Section are commercially reasonable and are consistent with the intentions of Landlord and Tenant.  The provisions of this Section 16.7 shall not apply with respect to any Permitted Transfer (as that term Is defined in Paragraph 6 of the Addendum).

 

16.8         LANDLORD’S EXPENSES.  In the event Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, attorneys’, architects’, accountants’, engineers’ or other consultants’ fees.

 

17.           DEFAULT; REMEDIES.

 

17.1         DEPAULT BY TENANT.  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the occurrence of any one or more of the following events is a material default by Tenant under this Lease and that said default shall give Landlord the rights described in Section 17.2.  Landlord or Landlord’s authorized agent shall have the right to execute and to deliver any notice of default, notice to pay rent or quit or any other notice Landlord gives Tenant.

 

(a)           Tenant’s failure to make any payment of Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Real Property Taxes or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.  In the event that Landlord serves Tenant with a notice to pay rent or quit pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statutes, such notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 17.1(a).

 

(b)           The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, in which event Landlord shall not be obligated to give any notice of default to Tenant.  For purposes of this Lease, the Premises shall not be deemed abandoned so long as Tenant (i) has provided Landlord with prior written notice, (ii) pays rent and all other charges due under this Lease as and when due, and (iii) maintains the physical appearance of the Premises.

 

31



 

(c)           The failure of Tenant to comply with any of its obligations under Sections 4, 10, 12, 13, 16, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27 and 28 where Tenant fails to comply with its obligations or fails to cure any earlier breach of such obligation within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant.  In the event Landlord serves Tenant with a notice to quit or any other notice pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statutes, said notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 17.1(c).

 

(d)           The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant (other than those referenced in Sections 17.1(a), (b) and (c), above), where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s nonperformance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion.  In the event that Landlord serves Tenant with a notice to quit or any other notice pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statutes, said notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 17.1(d).

 

(e)           (i) The making by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder of any general arrangement or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant or any guarantor becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or guarantor, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially alt of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) the insolvency of Tenant.  In the event that any provision of this Section 17.1(e) is unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

17.2         REMEDIES.

 

(a)           In the event of any material default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default:

 

(i)            terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.  Upon any such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord.  Landlord reserves all rights and remedies available to it pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease as well as under applicable law.  Tenant hereby grants Landlord the full and free right to enter the Premises with or without process of law.  Tenant releases Landlord of any liability for any damage resulting therefrom and waives any right to claim damage for such re-entry.  Tenant also agrees that Landlord’s right to re-Lease or any other right given to Landlord as a consequence of Tenant’s default hereunder or by operation of law is not relinquished.  On termination of Tenant’s right of possession, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant:  (i) the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of the termination; (ii) the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of any rental, if any, received for the Premises during such time period; (iii) the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term of the Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of any rent to be received (net of re-letting expenses as described below) from any replacement Tenant occupying the Premises at the time of the award, or, if the Premises are not occupied at the time of the award by a rent-paying replacement Tenant, the full amount of the rent to be earned hereunder for the balance of the Term of the Lease discounted to net present value assuming a discount rate of one percent (1%) above the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in effect at the time of the award; and provided further, however, that Landlord shall repay to Tenant the excess of the foregoing amount over any rent received for the Premises during the balance of the Term of the Lease (net

 

33



 

of reletting expenses as described below) similarly discounted; and (iv) at the time of the award any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the damage proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would likely result therefrom, including but not limited to, all costs and expenses attributable to recovering possession of the Premises, re-letting expenses (including the costs and expenses of any necessary repairs, renovations and alterations to the Premises), costs of carrying the Premises (including but not limited to, Landlord’s payment of real property taxes and insurance premiums), actual legal fees and associated costs and expenses, the unamortized portion of all brokerage commissions paid in connection with this Lease and all costs of Tenant improvements (amortized without interest on a straight line basis over the initial Term of the Lease), and reimbursement of any deferred rent or other Lease execution inducement.

 

(ii)           maintain Tenant’s right of possession in which event Landlord shall have the remedy which permits Landlord to continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due.  Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or removal or storage of Tenant’s personal property, shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession or act as an acceptance of any surrender of the Premises.  Landlord shall not be required to relet any or all of the Premises prior to leasing other vacant space at the Project, nor shall Landlord be required to accept a Tenant: (i) that does not otherwise meet Landlord’s financial and other criteria, nor (ii) a Tenant who intends to make a use other than the use permitted by the Lease.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises.  The phrase “reasonable efforts” as it relates to Landlord’s duty to attempt to relet the Premises, shall require Landlord to do only the following: (i) notify Landlord’s leasing agent in writing of the availability or the Premises for reletting, (ii) post Landlord’s leasing contact telephone number in the Project management office, (iii) show the Premises to any prospective tenant who requests to see the Premises and to any prospective Tenant specifically referred to Landlord by Tenant, and (iv) show the “vacant” status of the Premises in posters and information brochures used at leasing trade meetings and conventions.  Landlord shall not be required to relet the Premises before reletting any space in the Project not producing any income to Landlord and Landlord shall be entitled to consider tenant quality, tenant-mix,

 

34



 

and the nature of the Project and office center in making any leasing decision.  If Landlord shall substantially perform the foregoing then, anything in this Lease, or any statute or common law rule to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall be deemed to have met its duty to mitigate its damages hereunder.

 

(iii)          collect sublease rents (or appoint a receiver to collect such rent) and otherwise perform Tenant’s obligations at the Premises, it being agreed, however, that the appointment of a receiver for Tenant shall not constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

 

(iv)          pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises are located.

 

(b)           No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive, but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.  The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Promises shall not relieve Tenant of liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the Term hereof or by reason of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

 

(c)           If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises, Landlord may re-enter the Premises and such re-entry shall not be deemed to constitute Landlord’s election to accept a surrender of the Premises or to otherwise relieve Tenant from liability for its breach of this Lease.  No surrender of the Premises shall be effective against Landlord unless Landlord has entered into a written agreement with Tenant in which Landlord expressly agrees to (i) accept a surrender of the Premises and (ii) relieve Tenant of liability under the Lease.  The delivery by Tenant to Landlord of possession of the Premises shall not constitute the termination of the Lease or the surrender of the Premises.

 

17.3         DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.  Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its cure, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to

 

35



 

completion and provided further that, if the nature of the default is such that it presents a danger to the health or safety of Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees, or adversely affects the operation and profitability of Tenant’s business conducted from the Premises, then in such events, Landlord shall commence and complete cure as soon as reasonably practicable.  In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default, and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction.

 

17.4         LATE CHARGES.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Bass Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Real Property Taxes or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Project.  Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Real Property Taxes or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord when such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice or demand to Tenant, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount.  The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.  Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, including the assessment of interest under Section 17.5.

 

17.5         INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS.  Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Landlord that is not paid within ten (10) days after the date when due shall bear interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rats permitted by applicable law.  Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges Incurred by Tenant nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Tenant.

 

17.6         PAYMENT OF RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT AFTER DEFAULT.  If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Real Property Taxes, parking charges or any other monetary obligation due hereunder on the date it is due, after Tenant’s third failure to pay any monetary obligation on the date it is due, at Landlord’s option, all monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder shall thereafter be paid by cashier’s check, and Tenant shall, upon demand, provide Landlord with an additional security deposit equal to three (3) months’ Base Rent.  If Landlord has required

 

36



 

Tenant to make said payments by cashier’s check or to provide an additional security deposit, Tenant’s failure to make a payment by cashier’s check or to provide the additional security deposit shall be a material default hereunder.

 

18.           LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT.  All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, after three (3) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s behalf without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefore, an amount equal to the expenditures reasonably made by Landlord in connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

 

19.           INDEMNITY.  Except as set forth in Section 10.4 of the Lease, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its employees, partners, agents, lenders and ground lessors (said persons and entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Landlord Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, less of rents, liens, judgments, penalties, fines, settlement costs, investigation costs, the cost of consultants and experts, attorneys’ fees, court costs and other legal expenses, the effect of environmental contamination, the removal, remediation and/or abatement of Hazardous Substances (as said term is defined in Section 27 of the Lease) and other expenses (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Damages”) arising out of or related to a “Landlord Indemnified Matter,” as defined below. For purposes of this Section 19, a “Landlord Indemnified Matter” shall mean any matter for which one or more of the Landlord Indemnified Parties incurs liability or Damages if the liability or Damages arise out of or involve, (i) Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, subtenants, assignees or licensees, (all of said persons or entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tenant Parties”) negligent use of the Premises or the Project; (ii) any negligent act or omission of a Tenant Party; (iii) Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations under the Lease; (iv) the existence, use or disposal of any Hazardous Substance brought on to the Project by a Tenant Party; or (v) any other matter for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord pursuant to any other provision of this Lease. Except as set forth in Section 10.4 of the Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant and its shareholders, affiliated entities, employees, partners, agents, and lenders (said persons and entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Tenant Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages arising out of or related to “Tenant Indemnified

27.3         PROHIBITION; ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.  Tenant shall not be entitled to use or store any Hazardous Materials on, in, or about any portion of the Premises without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto.  If Landlord, in its sole discretion, consents to any such usage or storage, then Tenant shall be permitted to use and/or store only those Hazardous Materials in such amounts that are necessary for Tenant’s business and to the extent disclosed to Landlord.  In all events such usage and storage must at all times be in full compliance with any and all local, state and federal environmental, health and/or safety-related laws, statutes, orders, standards, courts’ decisions, ordinances, rules and regulations (as interpreted by judicial and administrative decisions), decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions, currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which are or become applicable to Tenant or all or any portion of the Premises (collectively, the “Environmental Laws”) and in compliance with the recommendations of Landlord’s consultants.  Tenant agrees that any changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous

 

42



 

Materials may be implemented only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Tenant shall not be entitled nor permitted to install any tanks under, on or about the Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials without the express written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, at all times during the Term of this Lease to (i) inspect the Premises, (ii) conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 27 or to determine if Hazardous Materials are present in, on or about the Premises, (iii) request lists of all Hazardous Materials used, stored or otherwise located on, under or about any portion of the Premises, and (iv) to require Tenant to complete a survey of its use, storage and handling of Hazardous Materials in the Premises, using a form and following procedures designated by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion (the “Survey”).  The costs and expenses of any such Survey, tests, investigations or inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same, unless a contamination, caused or materially contributed to by Tenant, is found to exist or be imminent, or unless the inspection is requested or ordered by governmental authority as the result of any such existing or imminent violation or contamination, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of all such inspections, tests and investigations, and all costs associated with any Survey.  If as a result of an inspection, test or Survey Landlord determines, in Landlord’s sole discretion, that Tenant should implement or perform safety, security or compliance measures, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord perform such measures, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s non-performance is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for such measures to be completed, then Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion (such period not to exceed sixty (60) days following Landlord’s original written request).  The aforementioned rights granted herein to Landlord and its representatives shall not create (a) a duty on Landlord’s part to inspect, test, investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of Tenant and Tenant Parties with respect to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, Tenant’s operation, use and any remediation relating thereto, or (b) liability on the part of Landlord and its representatives for Tenant’s use, storage, disposal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.

43



 

cost and expense, covenants and warrants to promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore and otherwise remediate (including, without limitation, preparation of any feasibility studies or reports and the performance of any and all closures) any spill, release, discharge, disposal, emission, migration or transportation of Hazardous Materials arising from or related to the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant Parties such that the affected portions of the Premises and any adjacent property are returned to the condition existing prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials.  Any such investigation, clean up, removal, restoration and other remediation shall only be performed after Tenant has obtained Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on any portion of the Premises.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to respond immediately to an emergency without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall conduct and perform, or cause to be conducted and performed, all closures as required by any Environmental Laws or any agencies or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof.  If Tenant fails to so promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore, provide closure or otherwise so remediate, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, take any and all steps necessary to rectify the same, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for all costs and expenses to Landlord of performing investigation, cleanup, removal, restoration, closure and remediation work.  All such work undertaken by Tenant, as required herein, shall be performed in such a manner so as to enable Landlord to make full economic use of the Premises after the satisfactory completion of such work.

44



 

Environmental Laws.  Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Lease, to the best of its knowledge and belief there are no Hazardous Materials on, in or under the Premises or the Building in violation of any Environmental Laws.

45



 

prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground Lease, as the case may be.  Tenant’s failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall have the right to execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact.  Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead to execute such documents in accordance with this Section.

29.3         MULTIPLE OPTIONS.  In the event that Tenant has multiple Options to extend or renew this Lease, a later Option cannot be exercised unless the prior Option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised,

 

29.4         EFFECT OF DEFAUILT ON OPTIONS.  Tenant shall have no right to exercise an Option (i) during the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a notice of default pursuant to Section 17.1 and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) if Tenant is in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.  The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise an Option because of the provisions of this Section.

62.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-COMPLAINT IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING AND HEARING BROUGHT BY EITHER LANDLORD AGAINST TENANT OR TENANT AGAINST LANDLORD ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY UNDER ANY LAW, STATUTE, OR REGULATION, EMERGENCY OR OTHERWISE, NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT.

11.           Roof-top Access.  Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall have non-exclusive access to and use of a portion of the Building roof for Tenant’s communication equipment, the location of which shall be reasonably agreed upon by Landlord free of charge during the Term of this Lease.  In the event Tenant wishes to place communication equipment on the roof, it shall be (i) screened in a manner and design acceptable to Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion, (ii) installed and maintained in compliance in all aspects with all applicable codes, (iii) subject to Landlord’s approval on use and method of attachment, and the use of Landlord’s roof license management company, and (v) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, including all reasonable consulting and administrative fees associated with the use of Landlord’s roof license management company.  In the event Tenant wishes to place communication equipment on the roof, Tenant shall execute a license agreement substantially in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit F.

 

12.           Force Majeure.  Landlord’s and Tenant’s time to perform their respective obligations under this Lease because of, from or through acts of God, strikes, lockouts, labor difficulties, explosions, sabotage, accidents, riots, civil commotions, acts of war, results of any warfare or warlike conditions in this or any foreign country, fire and casualty, Legal Requirements or other similar causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be (hereinafter a “Force Majeure Event”), shall be extended by the period of such delay or such prevention which shall be deemed added to the time herein provided for the performance of any such obligation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s failure to pay Base Rent or any other sums due under the Lease shall not be excused by any Force Majeure Event.

 

13.           Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, in no event shall either party be liable under the Lease for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, reliance or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for lost profits, whether or not said party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, except that no such limitation shall be applicable to damages caused by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants, invitees, affiliates, successors or assigns in connection with Tenant’s obligations pursuant to Sections 27 and 33 of the Lease.

LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR SATELLITE DISH

 

THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR SATELLITE DISH (the “Agreement”) is made as of this       day of           20  , by and between                  limited partnership (the “Licensor”), and                      (the “Licensee”), a                        .

 

RECITALS

 

A.            This Agreement is attached to and made a part of that certain Lease Agreement dated            (“Lease”) by and between Licensee, as Tenant, and Licensor, as Landlord, for the Lease by Licensee of approximately              rentable square feet of space (the “demised Premises”) in the building located at             (the “Building”), all as more particularly described in the Lease.

 

B.            Under the terms of the Lease, Licensor has the exclusive right to use or permit the use of all or any portion of the roof of the Building for any purpose; Licensee desires to use a portion of the roof space to maintain and operate thereon a satellite dish and/or related microwave facilities, antennae and related equipment, all as more particularly described in Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Equipment Location and Specifications”).

 

C.            Licensor and Licensee desire to provide the terms and conditions for Licensee’s use of the roof space as a location for an antenna and the equipment required for the operation thereof.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Licensor and Licensee, intending legally to be bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference.

 

2.             Satellite Dish Equipment:  Permitted Uses.  Provided Licensee is not in default under the terms and conditions of the Lease, Licensee’s agent, as approved by Licensor, in Licensor’s sole discretion, will install and maintain, at the sole cost of Licensee and Licensee may, at its own expense, operate on the roof of the Building, a satellite dish and/or related microwave facilities and antenna as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto, to be located as designated on Exhibit B attached hereto (said equipment Is collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Satellite Dish”).  The Satellite Dish shall be deemed to be the Licensee’s Personal Property (as defined in the Lease) and to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, the ownership, installation, use and removal thereof shall be governed by the terms of the Lease applicable to Licensee’s Personal Property.

 

3.             Licensor’s Prior Approval.  Licensor may approve or reject the installation and operation of the Satellite Dish within a reasonable time after Licensee submits (i) plans and specifications for the Satellite Dish (including size, location, height, weight and color);

 

F-1



 

(ii) copies of all required governmental and quasi-governmental permits, licenses, special zoning variances, and authorizations, all of which Licensee shall obtain at its own cost and expense; and (iii) a policy or certificate of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage as may reasonably be required by Licensor for the installation, operation and maintenance of the Satellite Dish and sufficient to cover, among other things, the Indemnities from Licensee to Licensor as hereinafter provided.  Licensor may withhold approval if the installation, operation or removal of the Satellite Dish may (a) damage the structural integrity of the Building; (b) unreasonably interfere with any service provided by Licensor; (c) interfere with any zoning ordinances or other governmental regulation applicable to the Building; or (d) reduce the amount of leasable space (other than the Premises) in the Building.  Licensee shall not be entitled to rely on any such approval as being a representation by Licensor that such installation and operation is permitted by or in accordance with any governmental or quasi-governmental entity, authority or regulation.

 

4.             Installation.

 

(a)           Installation and maintenance of the Satellite Dish shall be performed solely by Licensee’s agent or its contractors, as approved by Licensor, in Licensor’s reasonable discretion.  The Satellite Dish shall not be located on top of any existing structure on the roof of the building.

 

(b)           Licensee shall bear all costs and expenses incurred In connection with the installation, operation and maintenance of the Satellite Dish.  If operation of the Satellite Dish shall require electrical power Licensor may, at its sole option, install a separate meter, at Licensee’s sole expense.  Licensee shall pay the actual cost of all electricity used in the operation of the Satellite Dish, all as determined by Licensor.

 

5.             Intentionally Omitted.

7.             Termination Rights.  Licensor may require Licensee, at any time prior to the expiration of the Lease, to terminate the operation of the Satellite Dish if it is causing physical damage to the structural integrity of the Building, unreasonably interfering with any other service provided by the Building, unreasonably interfering with any prior licensee of the roof, or causing the violation of any condition or provision of the Lease or any law, regulation or ordinance promulgated by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority now or hereafter permitted to continue any similar use or operation.  If, however, Licensee can correct the damage or prevent said interference caused by the Satellite Dish to Licensor’s satisfaction within thirty (30) days, Licensee may restore its operation so long as Licensee promptly commences to cure such damage and diligently pursues such cure to completion.  If the Satellite Dish is not completely

 

F-2



 

corrected and restored to operation within thirty (30) days, Licensor, at its sole option, may require that the Satellite Dish be removed at Licensee’s expense.  If Licensor or any other tenant in the Building shall require that the Satellite Dish be moved to another location on the roof, either to accommodate Licensor or to provide other tenants in the Building with access to the roof for placement of other antennas, other electrical equipment or other Licensor-approved uses or installations, Licensor shall have the right, at its sole expense, to relocate the Satellite Dish to another place on the roof.

 

8.             Removal of the Satellite Dish, At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or upon termination of the operation of the Satellite Dish as provided hereinabove in Section 7, the Satellite Dish and all cabling and other equipment relating thereto shall be removed from the Building at Licensee’s sole cost.  Provided Licensee is not in default under the terms and conditions of the Lease, Licensee’s agent, as approved by Licensor, in Licensor’s sole discretion, will remove and dispose of the Satellite Dish otherwise.  Licensee hereby authorizes Licensor to remove and dispose of the Satellite Dish and charge Licensee for all costs and expenses incurred.  Licensee agrees that Licensor shall not be liable for any property disposed of or removed by Licensor.  Licensee’s obligation to perform and observe this covenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Agreement,

 

9.             Time of the Essence.  Time shall be of the essence of the Licensee’s obligations hereunder.

 

10.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto and neither Licensor nor any agent or representative of Licensor has made or is making, and Licensee, in executing and delivering this Agreement, is not relying upon any warranties, representations, promises or statements whatsoever.  No waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless expressed in writing and signed by all parties hereto.

 

11.           Successors and Assigns.  The obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

12.           Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be given by hand delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery, if addressed as noted in the Lease.

 

13.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland.
