Premises

     2.1 LEASE OF PREMISES: In consideration of the Rent and the provisions of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant accepts from Landlord the Leased Premises. Tenant’s Square Footage is a stipulated amount based on Landlord’s method of determining Total Square Footage for rental purposes and may not reflect the actual amount of floor space available for Tenant’s use.

     2.2 PRIOR OCCUPANCY: Tenant shall not occupy the Leased Premises prior to Lease Commencement Date except with the express prior written consent of Landlord and in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 6. If with Landlord’s consent, Tenant occupies the Leased Premises prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord only Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs for that portion of the Premises actually occupied by the Tenant, as defined in paragraph 3.3(a), from the first day of such occupancy to the Lease Commencement Date. These amounts will be payable on the first day of such occupancy and thereafter on the first day of every calendar month until the first day of the Lease Term. A prorated monthly installment shall be paid for the fraction of the month if Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises commences on any day other than the first day of the month. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may occupy up to one full floor of the Premises rentable square feet prior to the Lease Commencement Date with the only cost to Tenant being the cost of the electricity used by Tenant. Additional space occupied prior to the Lease Commencement Date will include the costs of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs, as set out above. If Tenant shall occupy the Leased Premises prior to Lease Commencement Date, all covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be binding on the parties commencing at such prior occupancy. Tenant shall be permitted to install Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment within the 60 days prior to the Lease Commencement Date.

ARTICLE THREE
Payment of Rent

     3.1 RENT: Tenant shall pay each monthly installment of Base Rent in advance on the first calendar day of each month. During the Base Year, no Excess Operating Costs shall be paid by Tenant. For each calendar year following the Base Year, Tenant shall pay each monthly installment of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Costs in advance together with each monthly installment of Base Rent. Monthly installments for any fractional calendar month, at the beginning or end of the Lease Term, shall be prorated based on the number of days in such month. Base Rent, together with all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, including, without limitation, any late charges and interest due Landlord for Rent not paid when due, shall be sometimes referred to collectively as “Rent”. Tenant shall pay all Rent, without deduction or set-off, to Landlord or Managing Agent at a place specified by Landlord. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest until paid, at the rate of 1.5% per month, or at the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less, from the date when due. Tenant shall also pay a processing charge of $50 with each late payment of Rent. Landlord agrees to waive the processing and interest charge for late payments of Rent twice during any twelve month period during the Lease Term, provided any such late Rent payment is paid in full within 10 days of the date when due. At the beginning of each calendar year Landlord shall issue invoices for both Base Rent and Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Costs.

     3.2 DEPOSIT; PREPAID RENT: Tenant shall not be required to pay any deposit; provided it shall not default on any monetary obligation of the Lease. Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to pay a Security Deposit in the amount of ONE (1) month’s rent, if Tenant defaults in any monetary obligation or a material term of this Lease, any such Deposit shall be held as security for performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. In the event Tenant fully complies with all the terms and conditions of this Lease, the Deposit shall be refunded to Tenant without interest, unless otherwise required by law, upon expiration of this Lease. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, apply a portion of the Deposit to cure any default hereunder and Tenant shall pay on demand the amount necessary to restore the Deposit in full within TEN (10) days after notice by Landlord.

     3.3 OPERATING COSTS: Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Excess Operating Costs as follows:

a. “Operating Costs” shall mean all reasonable and actual expenses relating to the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project, including but not limited to: real estate taxes and assessments; gross rents, sales, use, business, corporation, franchise or other taxes (except income taxes); utilities not separately chargeable to other tenants; insurance premiums and (to the extent used) deductibles; maintenance, repairs and replacements; refurbishing and repainting; cleaning, janitorial and other services; equipment, tools, materials and supplies; air conditioning, heating and elevator service; property management including typical market management fees; security; employees and contractors; resurfacing and restriping of walks, drives and parking areas; signs, directories and markers; landscaping; and snow and rubbish removal. Operating Costs shall not include expenses for legal services, real estate brokerage and leasing commissions, Landlord’s income taxes, income tax accounting, interest, depreciation, general corporate overhead, or capital improvements to the Building or Project except for capital improvements installed for the purpose of reducing or controlling expenses, or required by any governmental or other authority having or asserting jurisdiction over the Building or Project. If any expense, though paid in one year, relates to more than one calendar year, at option of Landlord, such expense may be proportionately allocated among such related calendar years. In the event that the Building is not fully leased during any calendar year, Landlord may make appropriate adjustments to the Operating Costs, using reasonable projections, to adjust such costs to an amount that would normally be expected to be incurred if the Building were 95% leased, and such adjusted costs shall be used for purposes of this paragraph 3.3. “Excess Operating Costs” shall mean any excess of (i) Landlord’s Operating Costs for any calendar year following the Base Year over (ii) the actual Operating Costs of the Base Year.

3


 

b. Tenant shall pay, in equal monthly installments, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any estimated Excess Operating Costs for each calendar year which falls (in whole or in part) during the Lease Term (prorated for any partial calendar year at the beginning or end of the Lease Term). Annually, or from time to time, based on actual and projected Operating Cost data, Landlord may adjust its estimate of Operating Costs upward or downward. Within 15 days after notice to Tenant of a revised estimate of Operating Costs, Tenant shall remit to Landlord a sum equal to any shortage of the amount which should have been paid to date for the then current calendar year based on the revised estimate, and all subsequent monthly estimated payments shall be based on the revised estimate. Landlord shall cap controllable operating cost increases, constituting the Excess Operating Costs, to FOUR percent (4%) per year. Non-controllable Operating Expenses include taxes, insurance and utilities, as well as any other expenses (“Other Non-controllable Expenses”) that increase by more than FOUR percent (4%) by reason of any act of God, fire, natural disaster, accident, act of government, shortages of material or supplies or any other cause reasonably beyond the control of such party (“Force Majeure”), provided that Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the Force Majeure promptly and, in any event, within fifteen (15) days of discovery thereof. Should the Force Majeure subside and cease to affect the relevant Other Non-Controllable Expenses, such expenses shall be adjusted downward as appropriate and shall again be subject to the Cap.

c. As soon as possible, after the first day of each year Landlord shall compute the actual Operating Costs for the prior calendar year, and shall give notice thereof to Tenant. Within 30 days after receipt of such notice, Tenant shall pay any deficiency between estimated and actual in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Excess Operating Costs for the prior calendar year (prorated for any partial calendar year at the beginning or end of the Lease Term). In the event of overpayment by Tenant, Landlord shall issue a check to Tenant within 30 days for the amount of the overpayment. Tenant or its representatives shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to the Operating Costs at the management office during normal business hours at any time within 60 days following the delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the notice of actual Operating Costs. Tenant shall have an additional 10 days to file any written exception to any of the Operating Costs.

     3.4 TAXES: In addition to Base Rent and other sums to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional Rent, on demand, any taxes payable by Landlord (a) upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, fixtures and other personal property located in the Leased Premises or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made to the Leased Premises by Tenant or Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements are held by Tenant or Landlord; (b) upon or measured by the monthly rental payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross receipts tax or excise tax; (c) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof; (d) upon this Lease or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE FOUR
Improvements

     4.1 CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS: The improvements shall be constructed as described in the work letter attached hereto as Schedule 6 (the “Improvements”). The expenses to be incurred as between Landlord and Tenant for construction of the Improvements are specified in Schedule 6. If any act, omission or change requested or caused by Tenant increases the cost of work or materials or the time required for completion of construction, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such increase in cost at the time the increased cost is incurred and shall reimburse Landlord for any loss in Rent at the time the Rent would have become due. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans for Improvements shall create no

4


 

responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities.

     4.2 COMMENCEMENT OF POSSESSION: If the Leased Premises are not substantially completed by the scheduled Lease Commencement Date then the Lease Commencement Date shall be extended to the date the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy. Furthermore, if the Lease Commencement Date is any other than the first day of a calendar month, then the term of the Lease shall be extended for the remainder of that calendar month. If Landlord fails to cause the Leased Premises to be ready for occupancy at the time of the Scheduled Lease Commencement Date, Landlord and Landlord’s agents, officers, employees, or contractors shall not be liable for any damage, loss, liability or expense caused thereby, and this Lease shall not become void or voidable unless such failure continues for more than 120 days, in which case Tenant may terminate this Lease upon 20 days written notice to Landlord. Upon occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a letter in the form attached as Schedule 7, acknowledging the Lease Commencement Date and certifying that the Improvements have been substantially completed and that Tenant has examined and accepted the Leased Premises. If Tenant fails to deliver such letter, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have made such acknowledgment and certification by occupying the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE FIVE
Project Services

     5.1 PROJECT SERVICES: Landlord shall furnish:

a. Utility Services: The utility services listed on Schedule 3 (“Utility Services”). Except in the event that Tenant elects to separately meter the Premises and assumes any and all utility expenses as to the Premises, should Tenant, in Landlord’s sole judgment, use additional, unusual or excessive Utility Services, Landlord reserves the right to charge for such services as determined either by a separate submeter, installed at Tenant’s expense, or by methods specified by an engineer selected by Landlord.

b. Maintenance Services: Maintenance of all interior and exterior common areas of the Building areas including lighting, landscaping, cleaning, painting, maintenance and repair of the exterior of the Building and its structural portions and roof, including all of the services listed on Schedule 4 (“Maintenance Services”).

c. Parking: Parking under the terms and conditions described in Schedule 5 (“Parking”).

     Utility Services, Maintenance Services and Parking described above shall be collectively referred to as “Project Services”. The costs of Project Services shall be a part of Operating Costs.

     5.2 INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES: Landlord does not warrant that any of the Project Services will be free from interruption. Any Project Service may be suspended by reason of accident or of necessary repairs, alterations or improvements, or by strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Subject to possible rent abatement as may be provided pursuant to the conditions described in paragraph 8.1, any such interruption or discontinuance of such Project Services shall never be deemed a disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Leased Premises, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of rent or otherwise, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that should such interruption or discontinuance of Project Services which materially impairs Tenant’s ability to conduct its business continue for 4 consecutive business days, then beginning on the fifth business day, Landlord shall abate Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Costs, for that portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenable, from the fifth business day after said interruption or

5


 

discontinuance until the Project Services are restored. Landlord shall use its best efforts to cause the Project Services to be promptly restored. Tenant may terminate this Lease if Project Services cannot be restored within 45 days.

ARTICLE SIX
Tenant’s Covenants

     6.1 USE OF LEASED PREMISES: Tenant agrees to:

a. Permitted Usage: Use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Purpose only and for no other purpose.

b. Compliance with Laws: At Tenant’s expense, comply with the provisions of all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions and all building, zoning, fire and other governmental laws, ordinances, regulations or rules now in force or which may hereafter be in force relating to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Building, or the Project and all requirements of the carriers of insurance covering the Project.

c. Nuisances or Waste: Not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, or bring or keep anything in the Leased Premises that may increase Landlord’s fire and extended coverage insurance premium, damage the Building or the Project, constitute waste, constitute an immoral purpose, or be a nuisance, public or private, or menace or other disturbance to tenants of adjoining premises or anyone else.

d. Hazardous Substances: Landlord certifies that it has not stored nor located any Hazardous Materials within the Building or the Leased Premises and Tenant agrees to (i) comply with all Environmental Laws; (ii) not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be treated, stored, disposed of, generated, or used in the Leased Premises or the Project, provided, however, that Tenant may store, use or dispose of products customarily found in offices and used in connection with the operation and maintenance of property if Tenant complies with all Environmental Laws and does not contaminate the Leased Premises, Project or environment; (iii) promptly after receipt, deliver to Landlord any communication concerning any past or present, actual or potential violation of Environmental Laws, or liability of either party for Environmental Damages. Environmental Laws mean all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, codes, permits or orders of all governmental agencies, departments, commissions, boards, bureaus, or instrumentalities of the United States, states and their political subdivisions and all applicable judicial, administrative and regulatory decrees and judgments relating to the protection of public health or safety or of the environment. Hazardous Materials include substances (i) which require remediation under any Environmental Laws; or (ii) which are or become defined as a “hazardous waste”, “hazardous substance”, pollutant or contaminant under any Environmental Laws; or (iii) which are toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable, infectious, radioactive, carcinogenic or mutagenic; or (iv) which contain petroleum hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, asbestos, asbestos containing materials or urea formaldehyde.

e. Alterations and Improvements: Make no alterations or improvements to the Leased Premises without the prior written approval of Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee, if required. Notwithstanding, Tenant may make non-structural improvements/alterations up to a cost of $20,000.00, to the Leased Premises, provided such alterations do not affect building systems or equipment, in any way, provided Tenant provides written notice to Landlord and provided construction is coordinated or approved through Landlord and affected by a licensed contractor acceptable to Landlord. Any such alterations or improvements by Tenant shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, at Tenant’s expense, by a licensed contractor approved by Landlord in conformity with plans and specifications approved by Landlord. If requested by Landlord, Tenant will post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to protect Landlord against

6


 

liens arising from work performed for Tenant. Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications for Tenant’s alterations or improvements shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities.

f. Liens: Keep the Leased Premises, the Building and the Project free from liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. If, at any time, a lien or encumbrance is filed against the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project as a result of Tenant’s work, materials or obligations, Tenant shall promptly discharge such lien or encumbrance. If such lien or encumbrance has not been removed within 30 days from the date it is filed, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord cash or a bond, which shall be in a form and be issued by a company acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, in an amount equal to 150% of the amount of the lien, to be held by Landlord as security for the lien being discharged.

g. Rules and Regulations: Observe, perform and abide by all the rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time. Schedule 2 sets forth Landlord’s rules and regulations in effect on the date hereof.

h. Signage: Obtain the prior approval of the Landlord before placing any sign or symbol in doors or windows or elsewhere in or about the Leased Premises, or upon any other part of the Building, or Project including building directories. Any signs or symbols which have been placed without Landlord’s approval may be removed by Landlord. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, all signs installed by Tenant shall be removed and any damage resulting therefrom shall be promptly repaired, or such removal and repair may be done by Landlord and the cost charged to Tenant as Rent.

     6.2 INSURANCE: Tenant shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain during the Lease Term: (i) fire and extended casualty insurance covering Tenant’s trade fixtures, merchandise and other personal property located in the Leased Premises, in an amount not less than 100% of their actual replacement cost, and (ii) worker’s compensation insurance in at least the statutory amounts, and (iii) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Leased Premises and Tenant’s activities in the Leased Premises and in the Building and the Project, providing bodily injury and broad form property damage coverage with a maximum $5,000 deductible, or such other amount approved by Landlord in writing, and minimum coverage as follows:

a. $1,000,000 with respect to bodily injury or death to any one person;

b. $5,000,000 with respect to bodily injury or death arising out of any one occurrence;

c. $1,000,000 with respect to property damage or other loss arising out of any one occurrence.

     Nothing in this paragraph 6.2 shall prevent Tenant from obtaining insurance of the kind and in the amounts provided for under this paragraph under a blanket insurance policy covering other properties as well as the Leased Premises, provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i) shall specify the amounts of the total insurance allocated to the Leased Premises, which amounts shall not be less than the amounts required by subparagraphs a. through c. above, and (ii) such amounts so specified shall be sufficient to prevent any one of the assureds from becoming a coinsurer within the terms of the applicable policy, and (iii) shall, as to the Leased Premises, otherwise comply as to endorsements and coverage with the provisions of this paragraph.

     Tenant’s insurance shall be with a company which has a rating equal to or greater than Best’s Insurance Reports classification of A, Class X or its equivalent, as such classification is determined as of the Lease Commencement Date. Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, shall be named as “additional insureds” under Tenant’s insurance, and such Tenant’s insurance shall be primary and non-contributing with Landlord’s insurance. Tenant’s insurance policies shall contain endorsements requiring

7


 

30 days notice to Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, prior to any cancellation, lapse or nonrenewal or any reduction in amount of coverage.

     Tenant shall deliver to Landlord as a condition precedent to its taking occupancy of the Leased Premises certificates of insurance (with respect to the liability policy) and evidence of insurance (ACCORD Number 27) or equivalent (with respect to the property policy).

     6.3 REPAIRS: Tenant, at its sole expense, agrees to maintain the interior of the Leased Premises in a neat, clean and sanitary condition. If Tenant fails to maintain or keep the Leased Premises in good repair and such failure continues for 15 days after written notice from Landlord or if such failure results in a nuisance or health or safety risk, Landlord may perform any such required maintenance and repairs and the cost thereof shall be payable by Tenant as Rent within 10 days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord the costs of any repair to the Building or Project necessitated by any act or neglect of Tenant.

     6.4 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, or encumber this Lease, or permit all or any part of the Leased Premises to be subleased without the prior written consent of Landlord, and Landlord’s mortgagee if required pursuant to the loan documents, if any, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord agrees that it shall provide its response to such request within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Landlord. Any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, reorganization or liquidation of Tenant, or by operation of law, or change in ownership of or power to vote the majority of the outstanding voting stock of a corporate Tenant, or by change in ownership of a controlling partnership interest in a partnership Tenant, shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublease part or all of the Leased Premises without Landlord’s prior consent to any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or any parent corporation of Tenant with prior written notice to Landlord provided that (i) Tenant continues to be primarily liable on its obligations as set forth herein; (ii) any such assignee or sublessee shall assume and be bound by all covenants and obligations of Tenant herewith; (iii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is, in Landlord’s good faith judgment, compatible with other tenants in the Building and seeks to use the Leased Premises only for the Permitted Purpose and for a use that is not prohibited under the terms of a lease with another tenant in the Building; and (iv) such use would not result in a material change in the number of personnel working in, or members of the general public visiting, the Leased Premises.

     In addition to other reasonable bases, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall be deemed to be reasonable in withholding its consent, if: (a) such proposed assignment or sublease is to any party who is then a tenant of the Building or the Project if Landlord has comparable area; or (b) Tenant is in default under any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease at the time of request for consent or on the effective date of such subletting or assignment; or (c) the proposed subtenant or assignee is, in Landlord’s good faith judgment, incompatible with other tenants in the Building, or seeks to use any portion of the Leased Premises for a use not consistent with other uses in the Building, or is financially incapable of assuming the obligations of this Lease; or (d) the proposed assignee of sublessee or its business is subject to compliance with additional requirements of the law (including related regulation) commonly known as the “Americans with Disabilities Act” beyond those requirements which are applicable to the Tenant, unless the proposed assignee or sublessee shall: (i) first deliver plans and specifications for complying with such additional requirements and obtain Landlord’s consent thereto, and (ii) comply with all Landlord’s conditions for or contained in such consent, including without limitation, requirements for security to assure the lien-free completion of such improvements. Tenant shall submit to Landlord the name of a proposed assignee or subtenant, the terms of the proposed assignment or subletting, the nature of the proposed subtenant’s business and such information as to the assignee’s or subtenant’s financial responsibility and general reputation as Landlord may reasonably require.

     No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its primary obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to

8


 

be waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or transfer.

     In the event that Tenant intends to sublease any portion of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall coordinate efforts toward marketing of the space to be made available. To the extent that any Sublessee, which shall be approved by Landlord, enters into a Sublease extending beyond the then effective term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay that portion of such costs that would correspond to the balance of the Term and Landlord shall pay that portion corresponding to the extended Term. In lieu of giving any consent to a sublet or an assignment of all the Leased Premises, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, elect to terminate this Lease. In the case of a proposed subletting of a portion of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, elect to terminate the Lease with respect to that portion of the Leased Premises being proposed for subletting. The effective date of any such termination shall be 30 days after the proposed effective date of any proposed assignment or subletting. If Landlord elects to terminate the Lease, after either Landlord or Tenant have expended monies toward marketing costs to sublet any such space, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally in payment of such reasonable and customary marketing costs. The party to be reimbursed shall submit an itemized list of expenses to the other party, which shall remit payment to the other within thirty (30) days of receipt.

     Fifty Percent (50%) of any proceeds in excess of Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Costs which is received by Tenant for the balance of the Term, pursuant to an assignment or subletting consented to by Landlord, less reasonable brokerage commissions actually paid by Tenant, and less other costs incurred by Tenant and paid to unaffiliated third parties in connection with making the space available for lease, shall be remitted to Landlord as extra Rent within 10 days of receipt by Tenant. For purposes of this paragraph, all money or value in whatever form received by Tenant from or on account of any party as consideration for an assignment or subletting shall be deemed to be proceeds received by Tenant pursuant to an assignment or subletting.

     6.5 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE: From time to time and within 10 business days after request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a certificate to any proposed lender or purchaser, or to Landlord, together with a true and correct copy of this Lease, certifying with any appropriate exceptions, (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification or amendment, (ii) the amount of Rent payable by Tenant and the amount, if any, of Prepaid Rent and Deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord, (iii) the nature and kind of concessions, rental or otherwise, if any, which Tenant has received or is entitled to receive, (iv) that Tenant has not assigned its rights under this Lease or sublet any portion of the Leased Premises, (v) that Landlord has performed all of its obligations due to be performed under this Lease and that there are no defenses, counterclaims, deductions or offsets outstanding or other excuses for Tenant’s performance under this Lease, (vi) that such proposed lender or purchaser may rely on the information contained in the certificate, and (vii) any other fact reasonably requested by Landlord or such proposed lender or purchaser.

ARTICLE SEVEN
Landlord’s Reserved Rights

     7.1 ADDITIONAL RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD: Without notice and without liability to Tenant or without effecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession, Landlord shall have the right to (i) grant utility easements or other easements in, or replat, subdivide or make other changes in the legal status of the land underlying the Building or the Project as Landlord shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, provided such changes do not substantially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises for the Permitted Purpose; (ii) enter the Leased Premises at reasonable times with twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Tenant and at any time in the event of an emergency to inspect, alter or repair the Leased Premises or the Building and to perform any acts related to the safety, protection, reletting, sale or improvement of the Leased Premises or the

9


 

Building; (iii) change the name or street address of the Building or the Project; (iv) install and maintain signs on and in the Building and the Project; and (v) make such rules and regulations as, in the sole judgment of Landlord, may be needed from time to time for the safety of the tenants, the care and cleanliness of the Leased Premises, the Building and the Project and the preservation of good order therein.

ARTICLE EIGHT
Casualty and Untenability

     8.1 CASUALTY AND UNTENANTABILITY: If the Building is made substantially untenable or if Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises are substantially interfered with due to damage to the common areas of the Building or if the Leased Premises are made wholly or partially untenable by fire or other casualty, Landlord may, by notice to within 45 days after the damage, terminate this Lease. Such termination shall become effective as of the date of such casualty.

     If the Leased Premises are made partially or wholly untenable by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Landlord shall restore the Leased Premises to the condition they were in on the Lease Commencement Date, not including any personal property of Tenant or alterations performed by Tenant.

     If the Landlord does not terminate this Lease as provided above, and Landlord fails within 120 days from the date of such casualty to restore the damaged common areas thereby eliminating substantial interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, or fails to restore the Leased Premises to the condition they were in on the Lease Commencement Date, not including any personal property or alterations performed by Tenant, Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the end of such 120 day period.

     In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to this paragraph, Rent shall be prorated on a per diem basis and paid to the date of the casualty, unless the Leased Premises shall be tenantable, in which case Rent shall be payable to the date of the lease termination. If the Leased Premises are untenable and this Lease is not terminated, Rent shall abate on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy by Tenant. If part of the Leased Premises are untenable, Rent shall be prorated on a per diem basis and apportioned in accordance with the part of the Leased Premises which is usable by Tenant until the damaged part is ready for Tenant’s occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any damage was proximately caused by an act or omission of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees, then, in such event, Tenant agrees that Rent shall not abate or be diminished during the term of this Lease.

ARTICLE NINE
Condemnation

     9.1 CONDEMNATION: If all or any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken under power of eminent domain or sold under imminent threat to any public authority or private entity having such power, this Lease shall terminate as to the part of the Leased Premises so taken or sold, effective as of the date possession is required to be delivered to such authority. In such event, Base Rent shall abate in the ratio that the portion of Tenant’s Square Footage taken or sold bears to Tenant’s Square Footage. If a partial taking or sale of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project (i) substantially reduces Tenant’s Square Footage resulting in a substantial inability of Tenant to use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Purpose, or (ii) renders the Building or the Project not commercially viable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole opinion, either Tenant in the case of (i), or Landlord in the case of (ii), may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within 30 days after the terminating party receives written notice of the portion to be taken or sold. Such termination shall be effective 180 days after notice thereof, or when the portion is taken or sold,

10


 

whichever is sooner. All condemnation awards and similar payments shall be paid and belong to Landlord, except any amounts awarded or paid specifically to Tenant for removal and reinstallation of Tenant’s trade fixtures, personal property or Tenant’s moving costs. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant shall, however, be entitled to seek business damages from any condemning authority.

ARTICLE TEN
Waiver and Indemnity

     10.1 WAIVER AND INDEMNITY: Except for those claims arising from Landlord’s breach of this Lease, negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, waives all claims it may have against Landlord, and against Landlord’s agents and employees for any damages sustained by Tenant or by any occupant of the Leased Premises, or by any other person, resulting from any cause arising at any time. Tenant agrees to hold Landlord harmless and indemnified against claims and liability for injuries to all persons and for damage to or loss of property occurring in or about the Leased Premises or the Building, due to Tenant’s breach of this Lease or any act of negligence or default under this Lease by Tenant, its contractors, agents, employees, licensees and invitees. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Landlord harmless against any Environmental Damages incurred by Landlord arising from Tenant’s breach of paragraph 6.1(d) of this Lease. Environmental Damages means all claims, judgments, losses, penalties, fines, liabilities, encumbrances, liens, costs and reasonable expenses of investigation, defense or good faith settlement resulting from violations of Environmental Laws, and including, without limitation: (i) damages for personal injury and injury to property or natural resources; (ii) reasonable fees and disbursement of attorneys, consultants, contractors, experts and laboratories; and (iii) costs of any cleanup, remediation, removal, response, abatement, containment, closure, restoration or monitoring work required by any Environmental Law and other costs reasonably necessary to restore full economic use of the Leased Premises or Project.

     10.2 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: Tenant and Landlord release each other and waive any right of recovery against each other for loss or damage to the waiving party or its respective property, which occurs in or about the Leased Premises or Building, whether due to the negligence of either party, their agents, employees, officers, contractors, licensees, invitees or otherwise, to the extent that such loss or damage is insurable against under the terms of standard fire and extended coverage insurance policies. Tenant and Landlord agree that all policies of insurance obtained by either of them in connection with the Leased Premises shall contain appropriate waiver of subrogation clauses.

     10.3 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD’S LIABILITY: The obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents of Landlord, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building and land and to no other assets of Landlord for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease. Tenant will not seek recourse against the individual partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents of Landlord or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its contractors, agents or employees for any consequential damages or damages for loss of profits.

ARTICLE ELEVEN
Tenant’s Default and Landlord’s Remedies

     11.1 TENANT’S DEFAULT: It shall be an “Event of Default” if Tenant shall (i) fail to pay any monthly installment of Base Rent or Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Costs, or any other sum payable hereunder within 10 days after such payment is due and payable as evidenced by this Lease and invoices provided by Landlord for each month of the Lease Year in January for the following twelve month period; (ii) violate

11


 

or fail to perform any conditions, covenants, or agreements herein made by Tenant respecting Tenant’s insurance requirements as specified in paragraph 6.2, and such violation or failure shall continue for 5 business days after written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord; (iii) violate or fail to perform any of the other conditions, covenants or agreements herein made by Tenant, and such violation or failure shall continue for 15 days after written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord; provided, however, if such default is of a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within 15 days, it shall not be an Event of Default if Tenant commences to cure within such 15 day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion within the time reasonably required for such cure, not to exceed 60 days; (iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or file a petition for bankruptcy or other reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief; (v) have a proceeding filed against Tenant seeking any relief mentioned in (iv) above; (vi) have a trustee, receiver or liquidator appointed for Tenant or a substantial part of its property; (vii) abandon or vacate the Leased Premises and any portion of Rent is delinquent; (viii) default under any other lease, if any, within the Building or the Project; or (ix) if Tenant is a partnership, if any partner of the partnership is involved in any of the acts or events described in subparagraphs (i) through (viii) above.

     11.2 REMEDIES OF LANDLORD: If an Event of Default occurs and such default has not been cured by Tenant within any applicable cure period, Landlord, may, at its option, within 10 days after written notice to Tenant, reenter the Leased Premises, remove all persons therefrom, take possession of the Leased Premises, and remove all of Tenant’s personal property at Tenant’s risk and expense and, either (i) terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right of possession of the Leased Premises or (ii) maintain this Lease in full force and effect and endeavor to relet all or part of the Leased Premises. In the event Landlord elects to maintain this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to relet the Leased Premises for such rent and upon such terms as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary, and Tenant shall be liable for all damages sustained by Landlord, including but not limited to, any deficiency in Rent for the period of time which would have remained in the Lease Term in the absence of any termination, leasing fees, attorneys’ fees, other marketing and collection costs, the cash value of any concessions granted to Tenant and all expenses of placing the Leased Premises in first class rentable condition. Landlord retains the right to terminate this Lease, at any time, notwithstanding that Landlord fails to terminate this Lease initially. If Landlord is unable after diligent efforts to relet the Leased Premises within 60 days after termination of this Lease, Landlord may elect at any time thereafter to have Tenant immediately pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, all Rent then due and the present value (discounted at 10%) of all Rent which would have become due (based on Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Costs payable at the time of such election and the cash value of any concessions granted to Tenant) for the period of time which would have remained in the Lease Term in the absence of any termination.

     The remedies granted to Landlord herein shall be cumulative and shall not exclude any other remedy allowed by law, and shall not prevent the enforcement of any claim Landlord may have against Tenant for anticipatory breach of the unexpired term of this Lease, including without limitation, a claim for attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord.

ARTICLE TWELVE
Termination/Renewal

     12.1 SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES: On expiration of this Lease, if no Event of Default exists, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition as when the Lease Term commenced, ordinary wear and tear or damage from casualty excepted. Except for furnishings, trade fixtures and other personal property installed at Tenant’s expense, all alterations, additions or improvements, whether temporary or permanent in character, made in or upon the Leased Premises, either by Landlord or Tenant, shall be Landlord’s property and at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term shall remain on the Leased Premises without compensation to Tenant, except if requested by Landlord, Tenant, at its expense and without delay, shall remove any alterations, additions or improvements made to the Leased Premises by Tenant designated by Landlord to be

12


 

removed, and repair any damage to the Leased Premises or the Building caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to repair the Leased Premises, Landlord may complete such repairs and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such repair and restoration. Landlord shall have the option to require Tenant to remove all its property. If Tenant fails to remove such property as required under this Lease, Landlord may dispose of such property in its sole discretion without any liability to Tenant, and further may charge the cost of any such disposition to Tenant.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon expiration of the Lease, Tenant shall remove any and all of Tenant’s cabling (including, but not limited to, all wiring and cabling for telephones and computer systems) from the Leased Premises, distribution boards, chases, conduit, junction boxes or anywhere in the Building, and shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises or the Building caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to remove all such cabling and wiring or to repair any damage caused by such removal, Landlord may do so and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord all costs for any such removal, repair or restoration.

     12.2 HOLD OVER TENANCY: If Tenant shall hold over after the Lease Expiration Date, Tenant may be deemed, at Landlord’s option, to occupy the Leased Premises as a tenant from month to month, which tenancy may be terminated by one month’s written notice. During such tenancy, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, monthly in advance, an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) in first month and Two Hundred Percent (200%) for any holdover thereafter of all Rent which would become due (based on Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Costs payable for the last month of the Lease Term, together with all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease), and to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified. If Landlord relets the Leased Premises or any portion thereof to a new tenant and the term of such new lease commences during the period for which Tenant holds over, Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from Tenant all costs and expenses, attorneys fees, damages or loss of profits incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord when required under this Lease.

     12.3 DOWNSIZING OPTION: Tenant shall have a one-time option to terminate a portion of the Premises only in the event that Tenant intends to expand its office facilities to a premises in excess of the available space in Summit Park I, and Tenant is moving into a building in which it will occupy no less than 130,000 Rentable Square Feet (“RSF”). By written notice to Landlord, Tenant may elect to vacate up to 47,067 RSF of contiguous space, the location of which Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon in writing. This option only remains open for partial termination of the respective portion of the Premises between the end of the THIRTY-SIXTH (36th) month and FORTY-FIFTH (45th) month of the Lease Term, and Tenant shall provide no less than TWELVE (12) months prior written notice to Landlord.

In the event that Tenant elects to vacate a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an early termination fee of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND and NO/100 dollars ($100,000.00).

     In the event that Tenant exercises this Downsizing Option, Tenant agrees to give Landlord an opportunity to submit a proposal to provide Tenant’s new occupancy need in another building owned or managed by Landlord, or to be constructed by Landlord.

     12.4 RENEWAL OPTION: Tenant shall have one option to renew (“Option to Renew”) this Lease for five (5) years (the “Renewal Period”). If Tenant desires to exercise its Option to Renew, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (“Renewal Notice”) thereof on or before May 31, 2009. During the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Renewal Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually agreeable Market Base Rent, as defined in 1.1, for the Renewal Period. The Market Base Rent shall be negotiated in light of then current terms for renewing tenants for comparable space, including market rents, term of renewal, and operating expense pass-throughs. Within fifteen (15) business days of agreement by the parties on the Market Base Rent and other terms of the renewal, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease extending this Lease on such terms. If the terms are acceptable

13


 

to Tenant, then Tenant shall execute and deliver the amendment to Landlord within ten (10) business days following receipt of such amendment. The foregoing option and rights are subject to there having been no Event of Default under this Lease that is not cured within the applicable cure period, are personal to the original Tenant executing the Lease, may not be assigned, and shall be available to and exercisable by the Tenant only when the original Tenant or its permitted assignee, is in actual possession and physical occupancy of the entire Leased Premises. Time is of the essence in the exercise of Tenant’s Option to Renew. Should Tenant fail to exercise such option, execute and deliver any required documents, or perform any of its required obligations under this section, or should the parties be unable to agree on Market Base Rent for the Renewal Period, within the time periods set forth above, then this Option to Renew and any other rights of Tenant under the Lease in the nature of options, shall be null and void, and the Lease shall terminate at the end of the Lease Term.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

Tenant also agrees that if the holder of any Superior Instrument elects to have this Lease superior to its Superior Instrument and gives notice of its election to Tenant, then this Lease shall be superior to the lien of any such lease, mortgage or deed of trust and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, whether this Lease is dated before or after such lease, mortgage or deed of trust.
