Licensee agrees that Licensor does not have any obligation to perform any work or otherwise prepare the Premises for Licensee’s use. During the Term (as defined below), Licensee shall have access to the Premises at all times, subject to the terms of the Master Lease and applicable laws. The Premises shall not be subject to remeasurement or modification during the Term.

2.Use. Licensee shall be entitled to use the License Area throughout the term of this Agreement for general office use consistent with the operation of a first-class office building in the Tempe, Arizona area and for no other purposes unless Licensee receives the prior written approval of Licensor, which approval may be withheld in Licensor’s sole and absolute discretion.

3.Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the full execution and delivery of this Agreement and consent thereto by Landlord (the “Commencement Date”), and shall continue until October 31, 2022 (the “Termination Date”), unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If Licensee fails to timely vacate the Premises on or before January 15, 2023, then the License Fee payable by Licensee hereunder shall increase to the amount charged to Licensor by Landlord for the Premises as a result of Licensor’s holdover under the terms of the Master Lease.

4.License Fee. As consideration for this Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay to Licensor an amount equal to $28,125.00 per month (the “License Fee”), without notice or demand at such place as Licensor may designate from time to time in the form of a check or currency which, at the time of payment, is the legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, payable in advance on or prior to the first
1




(1st) day of each and every calendar month during the Term, without any setoff, abatement or deduction whatsoever. If this Agreement shall expire or be terminated on a day other than the last day of any calendar month or the first month shall not be a full calendar month, the License Fee for such month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

1.Parking. Licensee shall rent up to one half of Licensor’s total allotment of parking spaces per month from Licensor pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease at the prevailing market rates due under the Master Lease.

2.Compliance with Laws. Licensee covenants that it shall not use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof or permit any other person to use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof in any manner or for any purpose: (a) which would constitute a nuisance; (b) which would injure the reputation of the Building; (c) which would unreasonably disturb any other occupant’s use of the Building; (d) which will in any way increase the existing rate of or otherwise affect any fire or other insurance upon the Premises or any of its contents or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy with respect to the Premises or (e) which would violate the terms of the Master Lease.

3.Signs and Advertising. Licensee shall not paint, inscribe, erect or affix or permit to be painted, inscribed, erected or affixed, any sign, light, advertising, notice, placard, marquee, on or about the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion; provided, however, Licensee, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to lobby, directory and suite entry signage in accordance with the Master Lease and then Building standards.

Licensee’s personal property which may at any time be at the Premises shall be at Licensee’s sole risk, other than damage or injury resulting from Licensor’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

12.Default.

In the event Licensor shall elect to so terminate this Agreement, Licensor may recover from Licensee any other amount necessary to compensate Licensor for all the detriment proximately caused by Licensee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, and at Licensor’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. In addition, Licensee shall be liable to Licensor for all losses, damages, fines, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs) sustained or incurred by Licensor by reason of or arising out of such material default and breach by Licensee.

13.Subordination. This Agreement shall be subordinate to and subject in all respects to the terms of, and the rights of Landlord under, the Master Lease and to any agreements to which the Master Lease is subordinate. Licensee understands, acknowledges and agrees that Landlord and the holders of any other instruments to which this Agreement is subordinate shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Licensor hereunder.

If Licensee fails to remove its personal property by the end of the Term, Licensor may dispose of the personal property in such lawful manner as Licensor shall determine. Licensee shall not make any alterations or improvements to the License Area without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Licensee shall have the right, subject to Licensor’s reasonable approval, to install telecommunications and computer wiring and conduit in the Premises, provided that, on or before the Termination Date, if required by Landlord, Licensee shall, at Licensee’s expense, remove any such telecommunications and computer wiring and conduit and repair any damage caused by such removal but Licensee shall have no obligation to remove any existing improvements or wiring in the Premises.

If Licensee defaults beyond applicable notice and cure periods with respect to any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this License, including, without limitation, the payment of the License Fee and/or any other sums payable by Licensee to Licensor under this License, Licensor may apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit, to the extent required for the payment of any License Fee and/or any other sum as to which Licensee is in default including (i) any sum which Licensor may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Licensee’s default, and/or (ii) any damages to which Licensor is entitled pursuant to this License, whether such damages accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Licensor. If Licensor applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit, Licensee, upon demand, shall deposit with Licensor the amount so applied or retained so that Licensor shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the Term.

If an Event of Loss shall occur with respect to any Furniture, Licensee shall promptly repair or replace the Furniture with Furniture equal to value, at replacement cost, new without deduction for depreciation (to the extent such insurance was reasonably obtainable) of the Furniture so lost, destroyed, damaged or otherwise rendered permanently unfit or unavailable for use or replace the Furniture with furniture of like quality. Licensee shall not move any of the items comprising the Furniture nor permit any of such items to be moved from the Premises without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent may be withheld by Licensor in its sole discretion. In addition, Licensee shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Licensor, its assignees, transferees and successors and their respective employees, officers and/or agents, from and against any losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, damages, penalties and disbursements at law or in equity, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, the “Losses”), imposed on or incurred by or asserted against the indemnified parties arising out of the leasing, use, possession, control, maintenance or operation of the Furniture by Licensee during the Term and claims for property damage or personal injury arising during the Term. All indemnities contained in this Section 19 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, any or all of the indemnified parties. Licensee shall return the Furniture to Licensor in the same condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
