ARTICLE 1
LEASE OF PREMISES AND LEASE TERM
     1.1 Premises. In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Lease and other good and valuable consideration, Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease. The approximate sizes of the Premises and Building are set forth in the Basic Terms. Pending measurement as provided below, those figures will be used for determining Rent. Prior to or upon Substantial Completion, Landlord’s architect will measure the Premises and the Building. The Premises will be measured from the exterior surface walls to the centerline of all walls common to the premises of other tenants in the Building. The Building will be measured from the exterior surface of all exterior walls of the Building. The square footages so determined will be specified in the Commencement Date Memorandum executed as provided in Section 1.2. Landlord and Tenant agree that such measurement by Landlord’s architect will conclusively establish the size of the Premises and the Building for determining Rent and for all other purposes under this Lease.
     1.2 Term; Commencement. The Term of this Lease is the period stated in the Basic Terms. The Term commences on the Commencement Date and expires at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the last calendar month of the Term. Landlord will tender possession of the Premises to Tenant upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to Article 17. Promptly after the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant will execute a “Commencement Date Memorandum” in substantially the form of EXHIBIT “D” to this Lease.
     1.3 Extension of Term. Provided that no Event of Default exists at the time of exercise, Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one period of five years. Tenant must exercise such right of extension by delivering written notice of Tenant’s exercise at least 9, but not more than 12, months prior to the expiration of the Term. The extension of the Term will be on the same terms, covenants and conditions as in this Lease, other than Basic Rent. Basic Rent for the extension period will be the fair market rental rate(s) for the extension period, determined in relation to comparable (in quality, location and size) space located in the Building and/or in the greater Scottsdale metropolitan area (“Fair Market Basic Rent”). Landlord will reasonably determine such Fair Market Basic Rent and deliver Landlord’s determination to Tenant at least 8 months prior to the expiration of the Term. In no event will the Fair Market Basic Rent for the extension of the Term be less than the Basic Rent (exclusive of temporary abatements) payable by Tenant for the Lease Year immediately prior to commencement of the extension period. The extension rights are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except in connection with an approved Transfer under Article 13.
          1.3.1 Selection of Fair Market Basic Rent. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Basic Rent for an extension of the Term, Tenant will deliver notice of such dispute, together with Tenant’s proposed Fair Market Basic Rent, to Landlord within five days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s determination. The parties will then attempt in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Basic Rent. If the parties fail to agree within 15 days, then either party shall be entitled to give notice to the other electing to have the Fair Market Basic Rent selected by an appraiser as provided in this Section 1.3.1. Upon delivery and receipt of such notice, the parties will within seven days thereafter mutually appoint an appraiser who will select (in the manner set forth below) the Fair Market Basic Rent (the “Deciding Appraiser”). The Deciding Appraiser must have at least five years of full-time commercial appraisal experience with projects comparable to the Property and be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or a similar appraisal association. The Deciding Appraiser may not have any material financial or business interest in common with either of the parties. If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon a Deciding Appraiser within such seven days, each party will within five days thereafter separately select an appraiser meeting the criteria set forth above, which two appraisers will, within seven days of their selection, mutually appoint a third appraiser meeting the criteria set forth above to be the Deciding Appraiser. Within seven days of the appointment (by either method) of the Deciding Appraiser, Landlord and Tenant will submit to the Deciding Appraiser their respective determinations of Fair Market Basic Rent and any related information. Within 21 days of such appointment of the Deciding Appraiser, the Deciding Appraiser will review each party’s submittal (and such other information as the Deciding Appraiser deems necessary) and will select, in total and without modification, the submittal presented by either Landlord or Tenant as the Fair Market Basic Rent; provided, however, that in no event will Fair Market Basic Rent [the Basic Rent] for an extension of the Term be less than the Basic Rent (exclusive of temporary abatements) payable by Tenant immediately prior to commencement of the applicable extension period. Subject to the previous sentence, if the Deciding Appraiser timely receives one party’s submittal, but not both, the Deciding Appraiser must designate the submitted proposal as the Fair Market Basic Rent for the applicable extension of the Term. Any determination of Fair Market Basic Rent made by the Deciding Appraiser in violation of the provisions of this Section 1.3.1 shall be beyond the scope of authority of the Deciding Appraiser and shall be null and void. If the determination of Fair Market Basic Rent is made by a Deciding Appraiser, Landlord and Tenant will each pay, directly to the Deciding Appraiser, one-half (1/2) of all fees, costs and expenses of the Deciding Appraiser. Landlord and Tenant will each separately pay all costs, fees and expenses of their respective additional appraiser (if any) used to determine the Deciding Appraiser.
     1.4 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant pays all Rent as and when due and keeps, observes and fully satisfies all other covenants, obligations and agreements of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord covenants and agrees that, from and after the Commencement Date, Tenant may quietly hold,

occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, free from molestation or hindrance by Landlord or any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.
     1.5 Common Area. Tenant will have the non-exclusive right, together with the other occupants and users of the Property, to use the Common Area during the Term. Such right to use the Common Area is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation all Property Rules and other Laws.
ARTICLE 2
RENTAL AND OTHER PAYMENTS
     2.1 Basic Rent. Tenant will pay Basic Rent in monthly installments to Landlord, in advance, beginning on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments to the Rent Payment Address specified in the Basic Terms or at such other place or in such other manner as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Tenant will make all Basic Rent payments without offset or deduction and without any previous demand, invoice or notice for payment. Landlord will prorate, on a per diem basis, Basic Rent for any partial month within the Term. An amount equal to one full month of Basic Rent at the initial rate specified in the Basic Terms will be paid to Landlord by Tenant upon execution of this Lease by Tenant, to be applied against the first installment of Basic Rent by Landlord when due.
     2.2 Additional Rent. Article 3 of this Lease requires Tenant to pay Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses as Additional Rent pursuant to estimates Landlord delivers to Tenant. Tenant will make all such payments in accordance with Section 3.3 without offset or deduction and without any previous demand, invoice or notice for payment. Tenant will pay all other Additional Rent described in this Lease within 30 days after receiving Landlord’s invoice for such Additional Rent. Tenant will make all Additional Rent payments to the same location and, except as described in the previous sentence, in the same manner as Basic Rent payments.
     2.3 Delinquent Rental Payments. If Landlord does not receive any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent within three days after the date the payment is due, Tenant will pay Landlord a late payment charge equal to five percent of the amount of the delinquent payment. Further, if Landlord does not receive any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent within 30 days after the date the payment is due, Tenant will pay Landlord interest on the delinquent payment calculated at the Maximum Rate from the date the payment is due through the date the payment is received by Landlord. The parties agree that such amounts represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the damages Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. Such charges will be considered Additional Rent and Landlord’s right to such compensation for the delinquency is in addition to all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity.
     2.4 No Accord and Satisfaction. No statement on a payment check from Tenant or in a letter accompanying a payment check is binding on Landlord. Landlord may, with or without notice to Tenant, negotiate such check without being bound to the conditions of any such statement. No acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any breach or default by Tenant constitutes a waiver of any such breach or default. If Tenant pays any amount other than the actual amount due Landlord, receipt or collection of such partial payment does not constitute an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may retain any such partial payment, whether restrictively endorsed or otherwise, without prejudice to Landlord’s right to collect the balance properly due. If all or any portion of any payment is dishonored for any reason, payment will not be deemed made until the entire amount due is actually collected by Landlord. The foregoing provisions apply in kind to the receipt or collection of any amount by a lock box agent or other person on Landlord’s behalf.
     2.5 Rent Tax. Tenant will pay to Landlord all Rent Tax (if any) due in connection with this Lease or the payment of Rent hereunder, which Rent Tax will be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with each payment of Rent made by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.
ARTICLE 3
PROPERTY EXPENSES
     3.1 Payment of Property Expenses. Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent and in the manner this Article 3 describes, Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for each calendar year of the Term. If the Term includes any partial calendar years, or Tenant is otherwise required under this Lease to pay Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for only part of a full calendar year, Landlord will appropriately prorate Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for such partial calendar year on a per diem basis based on the number of days within such partial calendar year.

When Tenant receives Landlord’s estimates for the current calendar year, Tenant will pay the estimated amount for such calendar year (less amounts Tenant paid to Landlord in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) in equal monthly installments over the balance of such calendar year, with the number of installments being equal to the number of full calendar months remaining in such calendar year.

If the audit report shows that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses was less than the amount this Article 3 obligates Tenant to pay, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the difference between the amount Tenant paid and the amount determined in the audit. Pending resolution of any audit under this Section, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord all estimated amounts of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses in accordance with Section 3.3. Tenant must keep all information it obtains in any audit strictly confidential and may only use such information for the limited purpose this Section describes and for Tenant’s own account.

Such liability insurance will protect only Landlord and, at Landlord’s option, Landlord’s lender and some or all of the Landlord Parties, and does not protect Tenant or replace or supplement the liability insurance this Lease obligates Tenant to carry.
          10.2.3 Other Insurance. If insurance coverages generally maintained by landlords of similar space in similar buildings in the area in which the Property is located increase or otherwise change, Landlord may similarly change the insurance coverages Landlord maintains under this Lease.
     10.3 Waivers and Releases of Claims and Subrogation.
          10.3.1 Tenant’s Waiver and Release. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant, on behalf of Tenant and its insurers, waives, releases and discharges the Landlord Parties and the Landowner Parties from all Claims for any Casualty to the Premises, Property or Tenant’s Personal Property, and any resulting loss of use or business interruption, regardless of the cause even if (subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.3.1) such Casualty is caused by the negligent or intentional acts, omissions, or misconduct of any Landlord Party. Tenant will look only to any insurance coverage Tenant may elect to maintain (regardless whether Tenant actually obtains any such coverage or whether such coverage is sufficient) with respect to the Claims Tenant is waiving, releasing and discharging under this Section 10.3.1. Any property insurance Tenant maintains must permit or include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Landlord Parties consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may claim against Landlord for any Casualty to Tenant’s Personal Property which is caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party, but (a) only to the extent of property damage which is not covered by insurance (or is not fully reimbursed because of an applicable policy deductible or self-insured retention amount), and (b) only up to a maximum of $25,000 for any single occurrence.
          10.3.2 Landlord’s Waiver and Release. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Landlord, on behalf of Landlord and its insurers, waives, releases and discharges the Tenant Parties from all Claims for any Casualty to the Premises, Property or Landlord’s Personal Property, and any resulting loss of use or business interruption, regardless of the cause even if (subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.3.2) such Casualty is caused by the negligent or intentional acts, omissions, or misconduct of Tenant. Landlord will look only to any insurance coverage Landlord may elect to maintain (regardless whether Landlord actually obtains any such coverage or whether such coverage is sufficient) with respect to the Claims Landlord is waiving, releasing and discharging under this Section 10.3.2. Any property insurance Landlord maintains must permit or include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Tenant Parties consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may claim against Tenant for any Casualty to the Premises, Property or Landlord’s Personal Property which is caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, but (a) only to the extent of property damage which is not covered by insurance (or is not fully reimbursed because of an applicable policy deductible or self-insured retention amount), and (b) only up to a maximum of $25,000 for any single occurrence.
          10.3.3 Limitation on Waivers of Claims. The provisions of Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 apply only with respect to the Landlord Parties and the Tenant Parties and do not limit or waive, release or discharge any Claims that either Landlord or Tenant may have against any “third-party” person or entity (including without limitation any contractor, service provider, agent, licensee, or invitee which is not a Landlord Party or a Tenant Party) arising from any Casualty to the Premises, Property, Tenant’s Personal Property or Landlord’s Personal Property caused by any such third party.
     10.4 Tenant’s Failure to Insure. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with evidence of insurance as required under Section 10.1, and if such failure is not cured by Tenant within five days of Landlord’s request therefor, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, obtain such insurance for Landlord’s benefit without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation contained in or default under this Lease. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses Landlord reasonably incurs in obtaining such insurance.
     10.5 No Limitation. Landlord’s establishment of minimum liability insurance requirements for Tenant in this Lease is not a representation by Landlord that such limits are sufficient and does not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease in any manner.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
     11.1 Tenantable Within 270 Days. If any Casualty renders the whole or any material part of the Premises untenantable and Landlord determines (in Landlord’s reasonable discretion) that Landlord

11


 

can make the whole Premises tenantable within 270 days after the date of the Casualty, then Landlord will notify Tenant of such determination within 60 days after the date of the Casualty. Landlord’s notice will specify the anticipated date the Premises could be made tenantable. If both (a) such anticipated completion date is more than 60 days after the date of Landlord’s notice, and (b) less than 12 months will remain in the Term upon such completion date, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notifying the other within 15 days after the date of Landlord’s notice, which termination will be effective 60 days after the date of such notice of termination.
     11.2 Not Tenantable Within 270 Days. If any Casualty renders the whole or any material part of the Premises untenantable and Landlord determines (in Landlord’s reasonable discretion) that Landlord cannot make the whole Premises tenantable within 270 days after the date of the Casualty, then Landlord will notify Tenant of such determination within 60 days after the date of the Casualty. Landlord’s notice will specify the anticipated date the Premises could be made tenantable. Landlord may, in such notice, terminate this Lease effective on the date 60 days after the date of Landlord’s notice. If Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, and provided the Casualty was not caused by Tenant, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord within 15 days after the date of Landlord’s notice, which termination will be effective 60 days after the date of Tenant’s notice.
     11.3 Property Substantially Damaged. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by any Casualty (regardless whether the Premises is affected) and the damage reduces the value of the Building by more than 50% (as Landlord reasonably determines value (absent restoration) before and after the Casualty), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 11.1 and 11.2, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant within 60 days after the Casualty, terminate this Lease effective on the date 60 days after the date of Landlord’s notice.
     11.4 Insufficient Proceeds. If Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds (including the amount of any policy deductible) to repair all damage to the Premises or the Property caused by any Casualty, or if Landlord’s lender does not allow Landlord to use sufficient proceeds to repair all such damage, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant within 60 days after the Casualty, terminate this Lease effective on the date 60 days after the date of Landlord’s notice.
     11.5 Landlord’s Repair; Rent Abatement. If this Lease is not terminated under any of Sections 11.1 through 11.4 following a Casualty, then this Lease will remain in full force and effect and Landlord will repair and restore the Premises and the Property to as near their condition prior to the Casualty as is reasonably possible with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed. Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for any period during which the Premises are untenantable as a result of the Casualty will be abated on a per diem basis; provided that if only a portion of the Premises is untenantable, then any such abatement will be pro rata (based upon the rentable area of the untenantable portion of the Premises from time to time as compared with the rentable area of the entire Premises) and Tenant will continue to pay Rent for any portion of the Premises which is tenantable. In no event is Landlord obligated to repair or restore any Alterations that have not been previously disclosed to and approved by Landlord, any Supplemental Equipment, or any of Tenant’s Personal Property. Landlord will, if necessary, equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses Percentage to account for any reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or Building resulting from a Casualty.
     11.6 Rent Abatement If Lease Terminates. If this Lease is terminated under any of Sections 11.1 through 11.4 following any Casualty, then Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses for any period during which the Premises are untenantable as a result of the Casualty will be abated on a per diem basis; provided that if only a portion of the Premises is untenantable, then any such abatement will be pro rata (based upon the rentable area of the untenantable portion of the Premises from time to time as compared with the rentable area of the entire Premises) and Tenant will continue to pay Rent for any portion of the Premises which is tenantable until this Lease terminates.
     11.7 Exclusive Casualty Remedy. The provisions of this Article 11 are Tenant’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Casualty. To the fullest extent permitted by the Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination rights (by virtue of a Casualty) not specifically described in this Article 11.
     11.8 Notice to Landlord. If any Casualty to any portion of the Premises or Property occurs, Tenant will immediately provide written notice of such Casualty to Landlord. None of the obligations of Landlord under this Article 11 will be deemed to have arisen unless and until Landlord has received actual notice that the Casualty has occurred and has had a commercially reasonable time within which to respond to such notice. Tenant is liable to Landlord for any uninsured loss or other Claims Landlord incurs if (a) Tenant fails to timely report any Casualty to the Premises or (to the extent Tenant has actual knowledge thereof) the Property or Landlord’s Personal Property to Landlord, (b) Landlord does not otherwise have actual knowledge of such Casualty, and (c) the failure to timely report such Casualty results in Landlord’s property insurance carrier refusing to cover all or any portion of the loss.
ARTICLE 12
EMINENT DOMAIN
     12.1 Termination of Lease. If a Condemning Authority desires to effect a Taking of all or any material part of the Property, Landlord will notify Tenant and Landlord and Tenant will reasonably

12


 

determine whether the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s intended purposes. If Landlord and Tenant conclude that the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s intended purposes, Landlord and Tenant will document such determination and this Lease will terminate as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken. Tenant will pay Rent to the date of termination. If a Condemning Authority takes all or any material part of the Building or if a Taking reduces the value of the Property by 50% or more (as reasonably determined by Landlord), regardless of whether the Premises is affected and regardless whether the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s intended purposes, then Landlord, at Landlord’s option, by notifying Tenant prior to the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken, may terminate this Lease effective on the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken.
     12.2 Landlord’s Repair Obligations. If this Lease does not terminate with respect to the entire Premises under Section 12.1 and the Taking includes a portion of the Premises, this Lease automatically terminates as to the portion of the Premises taken as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion taken and Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete architectural unit with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed and will reduce the Basic Rent for the period after the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Premises taken to a sum equal to the product of the Basic Rent provided for in this Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Premises after the Taking and after Landlord restores the Premises to a complete architectural unit, and the denominator of which is the rentable area of the Premises prior to the Taking. Landlord will also equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses Percentage for the same period to account for the reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or the Building resulting from the Taking. Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses will abate on a proportionate basis with respect to that portion of the Premises remaining after the Taking that Tenant is unable to use during Landlord’s restoration for the period of time that Tenant is unable to use such portion of the Premises.
     12.3 Tenant’s Participation. Landlord is entitled to receive and keep all damages, awards or payments resulting from or paid on account of a Taking. Accordingly, Tenant waives and assigns to Landlord any interest of Tenant in any such damages, awards or payments. Tenant may prove in separate Taking proceedings and may receive a separate award for damages to or Taking of Tenant’s Personal Property and for moving expenses; provided however, that Tenant has no right to receive any award for its interest in this Lease or for loss of leasehold.
     12.4 Exclusive Taking Remedy. The provisions of this Article 12 are Tenant’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Taking. To the fullest extent permitted by the Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination rights or any right to receive any payment or award (by virtue of a Taking) not specifically described in this Article 12.
ARTICLE 13
TRANSFERS
     13.1 Restriction on Transfers. Except as provided in Section 13.5, Tenant will not cause or allow a Transfer without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Landlord may elect to recapture any portion of the Premises that would be affected by such Transfer as provided in Section 1.1. Tenant’s request for consent to a Transfer must describe in detail the parties, terms, portion of the Premises, and other circumstances involved in the proposed Transfer. Landlord will notify Tenant of Landlord’s election to consent, withhold consent or recapture within 30 days of Landlord’s receipt of such a written request for consent to the Transfer from Tenant. Tenant will provide Landlord with any additional information Landlord reasonably requests regarding the proposed Transfer or the proposed transferee. No Transfer releases Tenant from any liability or obligation under this Lease and Tenant remains liable to Landlord after such a Transfer as a principal and not as a surety. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, 50% of any amount Tenant receives on account of the Transfer (net of Tenant’s reasonable, documented out-of-pocket leasing costs and commissions incurred in connection with the Transfer) in excess of the amounts this Lease otherwise requires Tenant to pay. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Lease is null and void and constitutes an Event of Default under this Lease.
     13.2 Recapture Right. Instead of giving or withholding consent pursuant to Section 13.1, Landlord may, within the 30 day period provided in Section 13.1, elect by written notice to Tenant to recapture (that is, to terminate this Lease with respect to) the Premises or, if a proposed Transfer affects only a portion of the Premises, that portion of the Premises. If Landlord so exercises Landlord’s recapture right, Tenant may negate such recapture by delivering written notice to Landlord, within five days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s recapture notice, canceling the proposed Transfer and withdrawing Tenant’s request for consent to the Transfer. If Landlord elects to recapture some or all of the Premises as set forth above, and Tenant does not so negate the recapture, then this Lease will terminate with respect thereto (pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Article 16) as of the date the Transfer would otherwise have occurred as if the Term therefor had expired on such date.
     13.3 Costs. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses Landlord incurs in connection with any Transfer, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless whether Landlord consents to the Transfer, provided that such costs and expenses will not exceed $2,000 per Transfer.

13


 

     13.4 Landlord’s Consent Standards. For purposes of Section 13.1 and in addition to any other reasonable grounds for denial, Landlord’s consent to a Transfer will be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Landlord’s good faith judgment, any one or more of the following apply: (a) the proposed transferee does not have the financial strength to perform the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; (b) the business and operations of the proposed transferee are not of comparable quality to the business and operations being conducted by other tenants in the Building; (c) either the proposed transferee, or any Affiliate of the proposed transferee, occupies or is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building; (d) the proposed transferee does not have a good business reputation; (e) the presence in the Premises of the proposed transferee would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, impact the Building or the Property in a negative manner; (f) if the subject space is only a portion of the Premises and the physical subdivision of such portion is, or would render the Premises, not regular in shape with appropriate means of ingress and egress and facilities suitable for normal renting purposes, or is otherwise not readily divisible from the Premises; (g) the Transfer would require Alteration to the Building or the Property to comply with applicable Laws; (h) the transferee is a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof); or (i) an Event of Default exists under this Lease at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed Transfer.
     13.5 Transfers to Affiliates. Provided that no Event of Default exists under this Lease, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, assign or sublet all or a portion of this Lease or the Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant if (a) Tenant notifies Landlord at least 30 days prior to such Transfer; (b) Tenant delivers to Landlord, at the time of Tenant’s notice, current financial statements of Tenant and the proposed transferee that are reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (c) the transferee assumes and agrees in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and to observe all terms and conditions of this Lease. A Transfer to an Affiliate does not release Tenant from any liability or obligation under this Lease. Landlord’s rights to recapture or share in any profit Tenant receives from a Transfer do not apply to any Transfer this Section 13.5 permits.
ARTICLE 14
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
     14.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the notices required by this Section 14.1 are intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by the Laws and are not in addition to any such requirements.
          14.1.1 Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant fails to pay Basic Rent, any monthly installment of Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses or any other Additional Rent amount as and when due and such failure is not cured within five days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due.
          14.1.2 Failure to Perform. Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant’s nonmonetary obligations under this Lease and such breach or failure is not cured within 15 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Tenant’s breach or failure; provided that if Tenant is not able through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or failure within a 15 day period, Tenant’s breach or failure is not an Event of Default if Tenant commences to cure such breach or failure within the 15 day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure and effects the cure within a period of time that does not exceed an additional 60 days after the expiration of the initial 15 day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant is not entitled to any cure period before a breach or failure of this Lease becomes an Event of Default if either (a) the same breach or failure has previously occurred at least two times during the prior 12 months, or (b) the breach or failure cannot be cured by Tenant.
          14.1.3 Misrepresentation. The existence of any material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements, correspondence or other information provided to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant or any Guarantor in connection with (a) Tenant’s negotiation or execution of this Lease; (b) Landlord’s evaluation of Tenant as a prospective tenant at the Property; (c) any proposed or attempted Transfer; or (d) any consent or approval Tenant requests under this Lease.
          14.1.4 Insolvency. The occurrence of any one or more of the following: (a) Tenant’s filing of a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or Tenant’s making a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or the filing of a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement, by or against Tenant and such filing not being dismissed within 60 days; (c) the entry of an order for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted; (d) the appointment of a “custodian,” as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code (or of an equivalent thereto under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted), for Tenant, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets (or Tenant’s assets located at the Premises) or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease; or (e) the subjection of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any act described in this Section 14.1.4 does not constitute an Event of Default, and the court appoints a trustee to take possession of the Premises (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession

14


 

of the Premises) and such trustee or Tenant Transfers Tenant’s interest hereunder, then Landlord is entitled to receive the same amount of Additional Rent as Landlord would be entitled to receive if such a Transfer had occurred pursuant to Section 13.1.
     14.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand and without preventing Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy, exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
          14.2.1 Termination of Tenant’s Possession/Re-entry and Reletting Right. Terminate Tenant’s right to possess the Premises by any lawful means with or without terminating this Lease, in which event Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, this Lease continues in full force and effect (except for Tenant’s right to possess the Premises) and Tenant continues to be obligated for and must pay all Rent as and when due under this Lease. Unless Landlord specifically states that it is terminating this Lease, Landlord’s termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises is not to be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Landlord is not obligated to, but may re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises. Landlord may store any property Landlord removes from the Premises in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant fails to pay the storage charges therefor Landlord may deem such property abandoned and cause such property to be sold or otherwise disposed of without further obligation or any accounting to Tenant. Upon such re-entry, Landlord is not obligated to, but may relet all or any part of the Premises to a third party or parties for Tenant’s account. Tenant is immediately liable to Landlord for all Re-entry Costs and must pay Landlord the same within five days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Landlord may relet the Premises for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term. If Landlord relets all or any part of the Premises, Tenant remains obligated to pay all Rent when due under this Lease; provided that Landlord will, on a monthly basis, credit any Net Rent received for the current month against Tenant’s Rent obligation for the next succeeding month. If the Net Rent received for any month exceeds Tenant’s Rent obligation for the succeeding month, Landlord may retain the surplus.
          14.2.2 Termination of Lease. Terminate this Lease effective on the date Landlord specifies in Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Upon termination, Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in Article 16. Such termination will not extinguish any obligations that survive termination as provided elsewhere in this Lease. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand all damages Landlord incurs by reason of Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, (a) all Rent due and payable under this Lease as of the effective date of the termination; (b) any amount necessary to compensate Landlord for any detriment proximately caused Landlord by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would likely result from Tenant’s failure to perform, including, but not limited to, any Re-entry Costs and the unamortized amounts of any Improvement Allowance and real estate commissions paid in connection with this Lease; (c) an amount equal to the amount by which (i) the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of the Basic Rent for the balance of the Term remaining after the effective date of the termination (assuming no termination) exceeds (ii) the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of a fair market Rent for the Premises for the same period (as Landlord reasonably determines the fair market Rent); and (d) Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses to the extent Landlord is not otherwise reimbursed for such Property Expenses. For purposes of this Section, Landlord will compute present worth by utilizing a discount rate of 8% per annum. Nothing in this Section limits or prejudices Landlord’s right to prove and obtain damages in an amount equal to the maximum amount allowed by the Laws, regardless whether such damages are greater than the amounts set forth in this Section.
          14.2.3 Present Worth of Rent. Recover from Tenant, and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand, an amount equal to the sum of (a) all Rent past due (together with interest thereon at the Maximum Rate), plus (b) the then present worth, as of the date of such recovery, of the aggregate of the Rent and any other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease for the then-unexpired portion of the Term. Landlord will employ a discount rate of 8% per annum to compute present worth.
          14.2.4 Other Remedies. Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Property is located. All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more remedies at any time or from time to time does not limit or preclude the further exercise by Landlord of the same or any other rights or remedies at any time or from time to time.
     14.3 Costs. Tenant will reimburse and compensate Landlord on demand and as Additional Rent for any actual loss Landlord incurs in connection with, resulting from or related to any breach or default of Tenant under this Lease, regardless of whether the breach or default constitutes an Event of Default, and regardless of whether suit is commenced or judgment is entered. Such loss includes all reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses (including paralegal fees, expert fees, and other professional fees and expenses) Landlord incurs investigating, negotiating, settling or enforcing any of Landlord’s rights or remedies or otherwise protecting Landlord’s interests under this Lease. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord is entitled to reimbursement of all of Landlord’s fees, expenses and damages, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and paralegal and other professional fees and expenses, Landlord incurs in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Tenant including, without limitation, any proceeding under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code; by exercising and

15


 

advocating rights under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; by proposing a plan of reorganization and objecting to competing plans; and by filing motions for relief from stay. Such fees and expenses are payable on demand, or, in any event, upon assumption or rejection of this Lease in bankruptcy.
     14.4 Waiver of Re-entry Claims. Tenant waives and releases all Claims Tenant may have resulting from Landlord’s re-entry and taking possession of the Premises pursuant to this Article 14 by any lawful means and removing, storing or disposing of Tenant’s property as permitted under this Lease, regardless of whether this Lease is terminated and, to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant releases and will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties and Landowner Parties from and against any and all Claims arising therefrom. No such re-entry is to be considered or construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.
     14.5 Landlord’s Default. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord breaches or fails to perform any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for a period of 30 days after Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of Landlord’s breach or failure; provided that if Landlord is not able through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cure the breach or failure within such 30 day period, Landlord’s breach or failure is not a default as long as Landlord commences to cure its breach or failure within the 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.
     14.6 No Waiver. No failure by either Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the performance of any provision of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy upon a breach or default hereof constitutes a waiver of any such breach or default. Any such waiver may be made only by a writing signed by the party providing the waiver. One or more waivers by a party is not to be construed as a waiver by that party of a subsequent breach or default of the same provision.
ARTICLE 15
CREDITORS; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
     15.1 Subordination. This Lease, all rights of Tenant in this Lease, and all interest or estate of Tenant in the Property, is subject and subordinate to any existing or future Mortgage. The automatic subordination to any future Mortgage provided for in this Section is expressly conditioned upon the Mortgage holder’s agreement that as long as no Event of Default occurs under this Lease, the holder of the Mortgage will not disturb Tenant’s rights of possession under this Lease. Tenant will, upon request, execute and deliver to Landlord or to any other person Landlord designates any instruments, releases or other documents reasonably required to confirm the self-effectuating subordination of this Lease as provided in this Section to any Mortgage. The lien of any existing or future Mortgage will not cover Tenant’s Personal Property. Tenant will also execute and deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease and delivery thereof to Landlord, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form of EXHIBIT “G” attached hereto (“SNDA Agreement”). Landlord will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mortgage holder to execute the SNDA Agreement. Upon receipt from the Mortgage holder of the executed SNDA Agreement, Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with a fully executed copy of the SNDA Agreement.
     15.2 Attornment. If any ground lessor, the holder of any Mortgage at a foreclosure sale or any other transferee acquires Landlord’s interest in this Lease, the Premises or the Property, Tenant will attorn to and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law that gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest.
     15.3 Mortgagee Protection Clause. Tenant will give the holder of any Mortgage, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default Tenant serves on Landlord, provided that Landlord or the holder of the Mortgage previously notified Tenant (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases or otherwise) of the address of such holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then Tenant will provide written notice of such failure to such holder and such holder will have an additional 30 days after the later of (a) receipt of such notice, or (b) the expiration of Landlord’s cure period, within which to cure the default. If the default cannot be cured within that additional 30 day period, then the holder will have such additional time as may be necessary to effect the cure if, within the 30 day period, the holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the cure. If Landlord, Tenant, and the holder of any Mortgage enter into any separate agreement regarding the matters addressed in Sections 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 of this Lease, then to the extent of any conflict between the provisions of such separate agreement and the provisions of Section 15.1, 15.2 or 15.3 of this Lease, the provisions of such separate agreement shall control.
     15.4 Estoppel Certificates.
          15.4.1 Contents. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement in form satisfactory to Landlord certifying: (a) that this Lease (and all guaranties, if any) is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications); (b) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (c) the last date of payment of Rent and the time period covered by such payment; (d) whether there are then existing any breaches or defaults by Landlord under this Lease known to Tenant, and, if so, specifying the same; (e) specifying any existing claims or defenses in favor of Tenant against the enforcement of this Lease (or of any guaranties); and (f) such

16


 

other factual statements as Landlord, any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser may request. Tenant will deliver the statement to Landlord within 10 Business Days after Landlord’s request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser of all or any part of the Property and any such party may conclusively rely upon such statement as true and correct.
          15.4.2 Failure to Deliver. If Tenant does not timely deliver to Landlord the statement referenced in Section 15.4.1, Landlord and any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser may conclusively presume and rely that, except as otherwise represented by Landlord, (a) the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed; (b) this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (c) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance; and (d) Landlord is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease.: In such event, Tenant is estopped from later contesting any inaccuracy in such presumptions.
ARTICLE 16
SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER
     16.1 Surrender of Premises. Tenant will surrender the Premises to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear, Casualty and Taking excepted, and will surrender all keys to the Premises to Property Manager or to Landlord at the place then fixed for Tenant’s payment of Basic Rent or as Landlord or Property Manager otherwise directs. Tenant will at such time remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property from the Property and, if Landlord so requires, all specified Alterations Tenant placed on the Property. Tenant will promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Property caused by such removal. Tenant will also inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, that Tenant is allowed to leave at the Property. Tenant releases and will indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless Landlord from and against any Claim resulting from Tenant’s failure or delay in surrendering the Premises in accordance with this Section, including, without limitation, any Claim made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. All property of Tenant not removed on or before the last day of the Term is deemed abandoned. Landlord may remove all such abandoned property from the Property and cause its transportation and storage in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant fails to pay the storage charges therefor Landlord may cause such property to be sold or otherwise disposed of without further obligation or any accounting to Tenant. Landlord will not be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss of any such property or in any other manner in respect thereto.
     16.2 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the Term expires or is otherwise terminated without executing a new lease but with Landlord’s prior written consent, then unless provided otherwise by Landlord in such written consent (a) Tenant is deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, subject to all provisions, conditions and obligations of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, (b) Basic Rent during the holdover period will equal 125% of the greater of the Basic Rent payable by Tenant in the last year of the Term or Landlord’s then current basic rent for the Premises according to Landlord’s rental rate schedule for prospective tenants, (c) Tenant will also pay Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses and all other Additional Rent applicable to such holdover period as described in this Lease, and (d) either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the month-to-month tenancy at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the Term expires or is otherwise terminated without executing a new lease and without Landlord’s prior written consent, then Tenant is deemed to be occupying the Premises without claim of right (but subject to all provisions, conditions and obligations of this Lease) and, in addition to Tenant’s liability for failing to surrender possession of the Premises as provided in Section 16.1 and all other rights and remedies of Landlord related to such holding over, Tenant will pay Landlord a charge for each day of occupancy after the Term in an amount equal to 200% of the Basic Rent payable by Tenant in the last year of the Term (on a daily basis), plus Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses and all other Additional Rent applicable to such holdover period as described in this Lease.
ARTICLE 17
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
     17.1 Base Building Improvements. Landlord will provide, as a part of the base Building and at no cost to Tenant, the base building improvements described on the attached EXHIBIT “F”.
     17.2 Tenant improvements. Landlord will cause to be constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to the Improvement Allowance), the Tenant Improvements. The Tenant Improvements will be designed and constructed as described in this Article 17. Contractor will be the general contractor for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant will pay all direct and indirect costs Landlord incurs in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. Such costs Landlord incurs may include, without limitation, all costs of space planning, construction document preparation, design, construction drawings, general conditions, labor, materials, and other construction costs, the fees (on an hourly basis) of Contractor’s project manager and site superintendent for the Tenant Improvements, all costs incurred in connection with obtaining permits for the Tenant improvements, and a fee of 12% of the sum of all such direct and indirect costs for Contractor’s overhead and profit. For all purposes of ownership, including risk of loss thereto, the Tenant Improvements will immediately upon installation be and remain a part of the Building and the property of Landlord.

17


 

     17.3 Improvement Allowance. Landlord will credit an amount, not to exceed the Improvement Allowance, against Tenant’s obligation to pay for the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord is not obligated to pay or incur any amounts that exceed the Improvement Allowance. If the cost of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the Improvement Allowance, Tenant will pay the excess to Landlord in cash as Additional Rent. Tenant will also pay, as Additional Rent, all of Landlord’s costs (including lost rent) resulting from Tenant Delay. If Landlord reasonably estimates that the cost of the Tenant improvements will exceed the Improvement Allowance, Landlord may require Tenant to deposit such excess amount with Landlord before construction of the Tenant Improvements begins.
     17.4 Space Plan. On or before March 10, 2006, Tenant will provide Landlord with a space plan for the Tenant Improvements. The space plan must (a) be compatible with the base building (both aesthetically and mechanically, as reasonably determined by Landlord); (b) be adequate, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, for the preparation of construction drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements; (c) show, in reasonable detail, the design and appearance of the finishing materials to be used in connection with installing the Tenant Improvements; (d) contain such other detail or description as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to adequately outline the scope of the Tenant Improvements; (e) conform to all applicable governing codes and ordinances; and (f) contain all information necessary for construction cost estimating. All space plan drawings must be not less than 1/8” scale. Without limiting those general requirements, the space plan must expressly specify and include (without limitation) all of the following: (1) wall types and heights and insulation, if needed; (2) door types and hardware groups; (3) door frame types; (4) ceiling heights; (5) ceiling materials; (6) floor covering materials and locations; (7) all wall finishes; (8) any appliances, special systems or equipment to be furnished as a part of the construction; (9) any mechanical requirements beyond that provided in the base building; (10) any fire protection requirements beyond that provided in the base building; (11) any plumbing requirements; (12) all power and data locations; (13) any power required other than building standard power distribution; (14) any power requirements for modular furniture; (15) any emergency power requirement; (16) any lighting requirements beyond that provided in the base building; (17) millwork elevations and details; (18) specific floor material selections and designations; and (19) specific wall material selections and designations. Landlord will provide building standard materials, systems and capacities if not otherwise noted. The space plan must also include enlarged sketch layouts for any non-standard rooms, including reflected ceiling plans, and must state the approximate usable and rentable square footage of the Premises. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a space plan meeting the foregoing requirements by the date set forth above in this Section, then such delay is a Tenant Delay until such space plan is delivered to Landlord.
     17.5 Construction Drawings and Specifications. After Landlord receives Tenant’s space plan as provided above, Landlord will provide Tenant with construction drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant will approve or disapprove (specifically describing any reasons for disapproval) the construction drawings and specifications in writing within five Business Days after receiving them. Any failure by Tenant to timely deliver such approval or disapproval is a Tenant Delay until received. If Tenant disapproves the construction drawings and specifications, Landlord will provide appropriately revised construction drawings and specifications to Tenant for approval (or disapproval) within five Business Days on the same basis as set forth above. If the review and approval process is not concluded (with Tenant having approved the construction drawings and specifications) on or before April 10, 2006, then such delay is a Tenant Delay until Tenant’s approval is received. After Tenant’s approval, Landlord will submit the construction drawings and specifications for permits and construction bids. Tenant will not withhold any approval except for reasonable cause and will not act in an arbitrary or capricious manner in connection with the review, revision, approval or disapproval of the construction drawings and specifications. If Tenant specifies any long lead time items that would delay Substantial Completion of the Tenant improvements, Landlord will promptly notify Tenant and Tenant will cooperate with Landlord to select a reasonable substitute.
     17.6 Changes to Construction Drawings and Specifications. Tenant will immediately notify Landlord if Tenant desires to make any changes to the Tenant Improvements after Tenant has approved the construction drawings and specifications. If Landlord approves the revisions, Landlord will notify Tenant of the anticipated additional cost and delay in completing the Tenant Improvements that would be caused by such revisions. Tenant will approve or disapprove the increased cost and delay within five Business Days after such notice. If Tenant approves, Landlord will prepare, and Landlord and Tenant will execute, a change order describing the revisions and the anticipated additional cost and delay. Any delay relating to a request for revisions or a change order is a Tenant Delay. If Landlord reasonably estimates that the change order will cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to exceed the Improvement Allowance (or if the cost of the Tenant Improvements already exceeds the Improvement Allowance), Landlord may require Tenant to deposit such estimated additional cost with Landlord before the change order work is performed.
     17.7 Landlord’s Approval Rights. Landlord may withhold its approval of any space plan, construction drawings and specifications, change orders, or other work requested by Tenant which Landlord reasonably determines may require work which: (a) exceeds or adversely affects the structural integrity of the Building; (b) adversely affects, or exceeds Tenant’s pro rata capacity of, any part of the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, communication or other systems of the Building: (c) will increase the cost of operation or maintenance of any of the systems of the Property; (d) does not conform to applicable building codes or is not approved by any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Premises; (e) is not a building standard item or an item of equal or higher quality; (f)

18


 

may detrimentally affect the uniform appearance of the Property; or (g) is reasonably disapproved by Landlord for any other reason.
     17.8 Tenant’s Representative. Tenant designates Joel D. Cesario as the representative of Tenant having authority to approve the construction drawings and specifications, request or approve any change order, give and receive all notices, consents, approvals and directions regarding the Tenant Improvements, and to otherwise act for and bind Tenant in all matters relating to the Tenant Improvements.
     17.9 Substantial Completion. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements on or before the Delivery Date. If Landlord is unable to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the Delivery Date for any reason, this Lease remains in full force and effect and Landlord is not liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage; provided, however, that Landlord will appropriately adjust the Commencement Date.
     17.10 Punch List. Not later than Substantial Completion, Landlord and Tenant will inspect the Premises and develop a “punch list” of any Tenant Improvement items which were either not properly completed or are in need of repair. Landlord will complete (or repair, as the case may be) the items listed on the punch list with commercially reasonable diligence and speed. If Tenant does not inspect the Premises with Landlord as reasonably requested by Landlord prior to or upon Substantial Completion, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Premises as delivered, subject to any punch list items Landlord develops and Tenant’s rights under Section 17.11.
     17.11 Construction Warranty. Landlord warrants the Tenant Improvements against defective workmanship and materials for a period of one year after Substantial Completion. Landlord’s sole obligation under this warranty is to repair or replace, as necessary, any defective item caused by poor workmanship or materials if Tenant delivers specific written notice of the defective item to Landlord within such one-year period. Landlord has no obligation to repair or replace any item after such one-year period expires. THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY IS GIVEN AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT AND REMEDY OF TENANT FOR INCOMPLETE OR DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS OR OTHER DEFECTS IN THE PREMISES, AND AS ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION FOR THIS WARRANTY TENANT HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL OTHER CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST LANDLORD AND ALL LANDLORD PARTIES BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHTS OR CLAIMS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AS A CONSEQUENCE OF ANY DEFECTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING AND TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS.
     17.12 Tenant Finish Work. All finish work and decoration and other work desired by Tenant and not included within the Tenant Improvements to be performed by Landlord as set forth in the approved construction drawings and specifications (including specifically, without limitation, the design and installation of all computer systems, telephone systems, telecommunications systems, removable fixtures, furnishings, and equipment) will be designed, furnished and installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense and will not be chargeable against the Improvement Allowance. Tenant will perform all such work in the same manner and following the same procedures as are provided in this Lease for Alterations. Landlord is under no obligation to perform, inspect, or supervise any such work, and Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility whatsoever therefor.
     17.13 Signs. Landlord will initially provide to Tenant (a) one building standard tenant identification sign adjacent to the entry door of the Premises and (b) one standard building directory listing; provided, however, that the cost of such signage will be charged against the improvement Allowance. The signs will conform to Landlord’s sign criteria.
ARTICLE 18
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
     18.1 Security Deposit. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant will deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent due or any other sum which Landlord expends by reason of Tenant’s default. Tenant is not entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. It is expressly agreed that the Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the case of Tenant’s default. Upon application of all or any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant must upon demand restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. No application of the Security Deposit by Landlord will be deemed to have cured Tenant’s default. Tenant waives all provisions of Law, now or hereinafter in force, which restrict the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits. The Security Deposit will be released to Tenant within 45 days of the surrender of the Premises to Landlord subject to any deductions made by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
     18.2 Parking. During the Term of this Lease, Landlord licenses 13 covered Reserved Spaces and 22 Unreserved Spaces to Tenant. Unless otherwise notified by Landlord, Tenant will pay Landlord’s then-current fee for each such space as Additional Rent at the same time, place and manner as Basic

19


 

Rent. Landlord may change its parking charges at any time on not less than 30 days prior notice to Tenant, provided that Landlord will not change such parking charges during the initial Term. Initially, Landlord’s parking charges will be $35 per month for each covered Reserved Space and $0.00 per month for each Unreserved Space. Parking at the Property by Tenant is subject to the other provisions of this Lease, including without limitation the Property Rules. In no event will Landlord be liable for any loss, damage or theft of, to or from any vehicle at the Property.
     18.3 Expanded Development. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Building may be included within a larger, integrated real estate development including additional buildings and land. Landlord may elect, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to operate such larger or modified development as a unit and compute any Property Expenses under Article 3 accordingly. If Landlord does so, then Tenant’s Share of Property Expenses will be appropriately adjusted to compare the rentable area of the Premises to the total rentable area within such development for which expenses are included under Article 3. Nothing herein will be deemed to require Landlord to develop or construct any such additional buildings or to combine the Building with any other buildings.
     18.4 Access to Premises Prior to Substantial Completion. So long as such entry will not interfere with Landlord’s construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord will allow Tenant limited access to the Building 30 days prior to Substantial Completion to begin installing equipment, fixtures, furniture and cabling and/or to properly coordinate such work with the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Any such use of the Building is also subject to, and Tenant must comply with and observe, all applicable laws, all safety rules and procedures, and all other terms and conditions of this Lease. In no event may Tenant conduct business in the Building during such early access period.
     18.5 Exterior Building Signage. Provided Tenant is able to obtain all necessary Community, governmental and quasi-governmental approvals therefor, Tenant may, at Tenant’s expense, install a sign on the exterior of the Building displaying Tenant’s name. Tenant must pay all annual and other permit fees therefor, must pay all costs of maintenance thereof, must keep same in good condition, order and repair at its sole cost and expense, must remove same prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and must repair and restore any damage to the Building caused by such installation and/or removal. Any such sign and the display of Tenant’s name thereon will be subject to the terms of any restrictive covenants applicable thereto and all Laws, and will be subordinate to all building designation signs (if any). Such sign must conform to the comprehensive sign plan prepared by Landlord and approved by the Community. Tenant may not install such sign until it has obtained Landlord’s prior written approval as to the size, location, design and all other aspects thereof, including the conformance thereof to such comprehensive sign plan. When Tenant requests Landlord’s approval of such sign, Tenant will concurrently submit to Landlord the proposed fabrication drawings thereof which will be sufficiently detailed for Landlord to determine whether the sign complies with such comprehensive sign plan.
     18.6 Generator. Subject to obtaining (i) all necessary Community, governmental and quasi-governmental approvals therefor and (ii) Landlord’s prior written approval of the plans, specifications and manner of installation of same, Tenant shall be permitted to install one backup generator (the “Generator”) to serve the Premises at one of the locations identified on EXHIBIT “G” attached hereto. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain and repair the Generator and keep same in good, operable condition and repair. Not less frequently than annually, Tenant will provide to Landlord copies of all current maintenance records and permits relating to the Generator. If Tenant fails to repair or maintain the Generator within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord, then Landlord may, but is not obligated to, make any such maintenance or repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Generator as Additional Rent. Tenant’s installation and maintenance of the Generator must comply with all restrictive covenants applicable thereto and any and all applicable Laws, and must comply with all other provisions of this Lease. Tenant will be entitled to run the Generator to provide backup power during power outages. Any required periodic testing of the Generator will only be performed during hours other than Business Hours. If Landlord so requires, Tenant shall remove the Generator from the Property at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and Tenant must repair any and all damage to the Property and/or the Building resulting from such removal. Such removal and the repair of damage caused thereby shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
     18.7 Building Compliance. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete Landlord’s construction of the Building and Premises in compliance with (a) the applicable building code; (b) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”); and (c) other applicable Laws (including without limitation those Laws relating to asbestos, soil and ground water condition), in each case as such matters in (a)—(c) are enforced, interpreted and applied to the Property as of the Effective Date. Such compliance will be conclusively established by the issuance of all governmental permits necessary for the initial occupancy of the Building.
     18.8 Access to Premises. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant and its employees and invitees may access the Premises and the parking areas after Business Hours in accordance with such rules and regulations as Landlord may reasonably prescribe from time to time for security purposes.
     18.9 Fuel Storage Tanks. if required for Tenant’s operation of the generator referenced in Section 18.6 of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install, operate, maintain and repair

20


 

an underground or aboveground fuel storage tank (“Storage Tank”) in a location determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, subject to the following conditions and obligations:
          18.9.1 Installation of the Storage Tank will be deemed an Alteration (as defined in Article 8) to the Premises and will be governed by the applicable provisions of this Lease relating to Alterations. Tenant will submit to Landlord, at least 20 days prior to the proposed installation date, (i) Tenant’s proposed plans and specifications relating to the installation, operation and use of the Storage Tank, and (ii) all other information required pursuant to Article 8 for such Alteration. Tenant may not commence any work to install a Storage Tank until it has received Landlord’s prior written approval of all such deliveries.
          18.9.2 Tenant will comply with Landlord’s reasonable directives and all Community, federal, state, and local Laws, regulations, rules and guidelines relating to the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the Storage Tank, including, but not limited to (i) obtaining and maintaining, or causing to be obtained and maintained, all applicable permits required for the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the Storage Tank (ii) implementing a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (as required by Community, federal, state, or local regulations) or best management practices plan (iii) providing evidence of financial responsibility or insurance covering the Storage Tank and (iv) maintaining and inspecting the Storage Tank and related equipment and keeping records related thereto. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant will promptly provide Landlord with copies of all records relating to the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the Storage Tank.
          18.9.3 If Community, federal, state or local Laws, rules or regulations require evidence of financial responsibility or insurance, Tenant will provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance naming Landlord as an additional insured under such policy, or other evidence of financial responsibility necessary for compliance.
          18.9.4 Tenant may not use the Storage Tank for any purpose other than the use specifically approved by Landlord and permitted under any applicable permit
          18.9.5 At any time within 30 days prior to and 30 days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord may, at Tenant’s cost and expense, perform an environmental Investigation to determine whether a release has occurred. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant will, if Landlord requests, remove the Storage Tank in accordance with all applicable Laws and promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Property caused by the installation, operation and removal of the Storage Tank, including any environmental remediation, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant must document the removal of a Storage Tank with a report prepared by a qualified consultant approved by Landlord, evidencing either no impact to soil and groundwater or that any impacted soil or groundwater has been remediated in a manner and to a level satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.
          18.9.6 Tenant will immediately report to Landlord any spill or release and any citations or notices of violation and will provide Landlord with copies thereof. Such notification will not relieve Tenant from its obligations to notify governmental agencies. Any cleanup or remediation will be completed by Tenant in accordance with applicable law and in a manner and to a level satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.
          18.9.7 This provision does not modify Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises, and does not relieve Tenant of any environmental liability under this Lease.
          18.9.8 Landlord may make periodic inspections to ensure regulatory compliance and the proper operation, maintenance and repair of the Storage Tank. Any costs incurred by Landlord in making inspections or other costs of compliance will be charged directly to Tenant.
          18.9.9 To the fullest extent allowable under law, Tenant (i) waives all claims it may have against Landlord arising out of or relating to damage to or destruction of the Storage Tank and (ii) will indemnify and defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) Landlord from and against all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, damages, costs, penalties, forfeitures, losses or expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the foregoing or in enforcing Tenant’s obligations under this Section 18.9, arising out of or relating to the Storage Tank, including, without limitation, the installation, operation, repair, maintenance, and removal of the Storage Tank.

Landlord’s covenants and obligations in this Lease bind each successive Landlord only during and with respect to its respective period of ownership.

The Basic Terms and all exhibits, addenda and schedules attached to this Lease are incorporated into and made a part of this Lease as though fully set forth in this Lease and together with this Lease contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the improvement and leasing of the Premises. All prior and contemporaneous negotiations, including, without limitation, any letters of intent or other proposals and any drafts and related correspondence, are merged into and superseded by this Lease. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease (other than to the Property Rules) is binding on Landlord or Tenant unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom its enforcement is sought.
     19.7 Severability. If any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement of this Lease is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion thereof and all other covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease will not be affected by such holding, and will remain valid and in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
     19.8 Landlord’s Limited Liability. Tenant will look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Property for recovering any judgment or collecting any obligation from Landlord or any other Landlord Party.

If either Landlord or Tenant commences any litigation or judicial action to determine or enforce any of the provisions of this Lease, the prevailing party in any such litigation or judicial action is entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenditures) from the non-prevailing party.
     19.11 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has not had any dealings with any realtors, brokers, finders or agents in connection with this Lease (except as may be specifically set forth herein) and each releases and agrees to indemnify the other from and against any Claims based on the failure or alleged failure to pay any realtors, brokers, finders or agents (other than any brokers specified herein) and from any cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commission or charges claimed by any realtors, brokers, finders or agents (other than any brokers specified herein) claiming by, through or on behalf of it with respect to this Lease or the negotiation of this Lease. Landlord will pay any brokers named in the Basic Terms in accordance with the applicable listing agreement executed by Landlord for the Property.

     19.13 Governing Law. This Lease is governed by, and must be interpreted under, the internal laws of the state in which the Property is located. Any suit against Landlord or Tenant relating to this Lease must be brought in the county in which the Property is located or, if the suit is brought in federal court, in any federal court appropriate for suits arising in such county; Landlord and Tenant waive the right to bring suit against each other elsewhere. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Premises are located on federal Indian trust lands within the territorial jurisdiction of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.13, as between Tenant and the Community and/or the Master Lessor, disputes under this Lease shall be governed pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease.

If Tenant is an entity, Tenant will, within 10 days after Landlord’s written request, deliver to Landlord: (a) Certificate(s) of Good Standing from the state of formation of Tenant and, if different, the State, confirming that Tenant is in good standing under the laws governing formation and qualification to transact business in such state(s); and (b) a copy of Tenant’s organizational documents and any amendments or modifications thereof, certified as true, correct and complete by an appropriate official of Tenant.
