OFFICE LEASE

 

This Office Lease, which includes the preceding Summary attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the Office Lease and Summary to be known sometimes collectively hereafter as the “Lease”), dated as of the date set forth in Section 1 of the Summary, is made by and between AGP ONE NORTH CENTRAL OWNER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and QUICKEN LOANS, INC., a Michigan corporation (“Tenant”).

 

ARTICLE 1

BUILDING COMPLEX, BUILDING, PREMISES, RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER AND CONTINGENCY

 

1.1                               Building Complex, Building and Premises. Upon and subject to the terms set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary (the “Premises”), which Premises are located in the Building defined in Section 6.2 of the Summary. The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Building, which is located within an office building complex commonly known as One North Central, is located at One North Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85004-4418. The Building, the parking facilities (which currently consist of a parking structure located within such complex (the “Building Complex Parking Area”), any outside plaza areas, land and other improvements surrounding the Building and the land upon which all of the foregoing are situated, are herein sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Building Complex” or “Real Property.” Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Real Property except as specifically set forth in this Lease or the Tenant Work Letter. Tenant is hereby granted the right to the nonexclusive use of the common corridors and hallways, stairwells, elevators, restrooms and other public or common areas located on the Real Property; provided, however, that the manner in which such public and common areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole but reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to the rules, regulations and restrictions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Rules and Regulations”), as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to time, but which Rules and Regulations shall apply equally to all tenants of the Building Complex, be enforced on a non-discriminatory basis and Landlord reserves the right to make alterations or additions to or to change the location of elements of the Building Complex and the common areas thereof, provided that, subject to Force Majeure events, at all times, Tenant shall have reasonable means of ingress and egress to and from the Building Complex, the Premises and the parking areas, and use of all of the parking spaces. Subject to (i) of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit B, (ii) Force Majeure events (as defined in Section 25.14 below), (iii) Landlord’s commercially reasonable security requirements, and (iv) the requirements of applicable laws, Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week throughout the Lease Term.

 

1.2                               Condition of Premises. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvements, work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “AS IS” condition on the Lease Commencement Date; provided, however, in the event that, as of the date of execution of this Lease, the Base, Shell and Core of the Building (as defined in Section 1 of Exhibit D), in its condition existing as of such date without regard to any of the Tenant Improvements, alterations or other improvements existing in the Premises as of the date hereof and/or to be constructed or installed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises or Tenant’s use of the Premises, and based solely on an unoccupied basis, (A) does not comply with applicable laws, including, without limitation, seismic, fire and life safety codes, and the ADA, in effect as of the date hereof, or (B) contains latent defects, then Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense which shall not be included in Operating Expenses (except as otherwise permitted in (and not excluded in) Section 4.2 hereof), for correcting any such non-compliance to the extent required by applicable laws, and/or correcting any such latent defects as soon as reasonably possible after receiving notice thereof from Tenant. Tenant

also acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises or the Building Complex, except as specifically set forth above or elsewhere in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter.

 

1.3                               Rentable Square Feet. The rentable square feet of the Premises are approximately as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary. For purposes hereof, the “rentable square feet” of the Premises and the Building and other buildings in the Building Complex has been calculated by Landlord pursuant to the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1-2017 (“BOMA”), as modified for the Building Complex pursuant to Landlord’s standard rentable area measurements for the Building Complex, to include, among other calculations, a portion of the common areas and service areas of the Building and other buildings in the Building Complex. Landlord’s space planner/architect shall remeasure the rentable square feet of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3 and the results thereof shall be presented to Tenant in writing. Tenant’s space planner/architect may review Landlord’s space planner/architect’s determination of the number of rentable square feet and usable square feet of the Premises and Tenant may, within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s space planner/architect’s written determination, object to such determination by written notice to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to deliver written notice of such objection within said fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s space planner/architect’s determination. If Tenant objects to such determination, Landlord’s space planner/architect and Tenant’s space planner/architect shall promptly meet and attempt to agree upon the rentable and usable square footage of the Premises. If Landlord’s space planner/architect and Tenant’s space planner/architect cannot agree on the rentable and useable square footage of the Premises within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s objection thereto, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually select an independent third party space measurement professional to field measure the Premises under the BOMA standard. Such third party independent measurement professional’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the independent third party space measurement professional. If the Lease Term commences prior to such final determination, Landlord’s determination shall be utilized until a final determination is made, whereupon an appropriate adjustment, if necessary, shall be made retroactively, and Landlord shall make appropriate payment (if applicable) to Tenant.

 

1.4                               Right of First Offer. [***]

 

1.5                               Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “First Offer Notice”) from time to time when Landlord determines that Landlord shall commence the marketing of any First Offer Space because such space shall become available for lease to third parties, where no holder of a Superior Right desires to lease such space. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth Landlord’s proposed material economic terms and conditions applicable to Tenant’s lease of such space (collectively, the “Economic Terms”), including the proposed term of lease and the proposed rent payable for the First Offer Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to deliver the First

 

2


 

Offer Notice shall not apply during the last nine (9) months of the initial Term unless Tenant has delivered an Option Notice to Landlord pursuant to Section 2.2.2 below.

 

Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the event Tenant exercises a right of first offer during the first twenty-nine (29) months of the Lease Term, then the Economic Terms of any such first offer space shall be on the same terms and conditions as the initial Premises leased to Tenant hereunder except as follows: (i) the initial annual Base Rent shall be [***] per rentable square foot with [***] annual increases, (ii) Tenant shall receive a prorated improvement allowance in an amount equal to the product of (i) [***], and (ii) a fraction (the “Proration Fraction”), the numerator of which is equal to the number of full calendar months remaining in the initial Lease Term as of commencement of the term of the First Offer Space and the denominator of which equals one hundred twenty eight (128), (iii) Tenant shall be entitled to abated Phase Two Base Rent for such First Offer Space for those remaining months during the Lease Term which Tenant is entitled to Base Rent abatement for the Phase Two Premises (but Tenant shall not be entitled to Discount Rent), and (iv) the Termination Dates pertaining to the First Termination Option, Second Termination Option and Third Termination Option shall be deemed extended by twenty-four (24) months for each exercised right of first offer.

 

Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the event Tenant exercises a right of first offer during months thirty (30) through and including month forty-eight (48) of the Lease Term, then the Economic Terms of any such first offer space shall be the fair market value for any such First Offer Space based upon comparable space in Class A buildings in the downtown Phoenix area (“Comparable Buildings”) (taking into consideration all standard market concessions such as, rent credits and improvement allowances) based upon Landlord’s good faith and commercially reasonable determination; provided, however that the Termination Date pertaining to the First Termination Option and the Second Termination Option shall each be deemed extended (or further extended in the event such date were extended as provided above) by forty-eight (48) months and the Termination Dates for the Third Termination Option shall be deemed extended (or further extended in the event such date was extended as provided above) by thirty-six (36) months.

 

1.5.1                             Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within ten (10) business days after delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver an unconditional irrevocable notice to Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in the First Offer Notice, and the Economic Terms shall be as set forth in the First Offer Notice. If Tenant does not unconditionally exercise its right of first offer within the ten (10) business day period, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires and Tenant’s right of first offer shall terminate as to the First Offer Space described in the First Offer Notice provided that, if Landlord does not lease the First Offer Space on the same terms on which it was offered to Tenant, within ninety (90) days of the end of the ten (10) business day period for Tenant to respond to the First Offer Notice, the First Office Space shall be re-offered to Tenant as provided herein when Landlord elects to provide a First Offer Notice to Tenant as provided in Section 1.4.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.

 

1.5.2                             Construction of First Offer Space. Tenant shall take the First Offer Space in its “as-is” condition (except as otherwise provided in the Economic Terms), and Tenant shall be entitled to construct improvements in the First Offer Space in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Article 8 of this Lease.

 

1.5.3                             Lease of First Offer Space. If Tenant timely and properly exercises Tenant’s right to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such First Offer Space to this Lease upon the same non-economic terms and conditions as applicable to the initial Premises, and the economic terms and conditions as provided in this Section 1.4. Tenant’s Share shall be increased to take into account the addition of any such First Offer Space to the Premises and Tenant’s parking passes shall be increased (based on 2/1,000 rentable square feet in the First Offer Space),

 

3


 

and parking passes shall be issued for reserved and unreserved spaces in the same ratio as provided initially in Section 12 of the Summary.

2.1                               Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the Effective Date except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent (as defined in Section 3.1 below). The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of the Summary (subject, however, to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter) and shall commence on the applicable Lease Commencement date set forth in Section 7 of the Summary with respect to the applicable portion of the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Commencement Date” shall have the same meaning as the term “Phase One Premises Lease Commencement Date”. The Lease Term shall terminate on the date (the “Lease Expiration Date”) set forth in Section 7 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term; provided, however, that the first Lease Year shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and the last Lease Year shall end on

the Lease Expiration Date. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the applicable portion of the Premises to Tenant on or before the applicable anticipated Phase One Premises Lease Commencement Date and/or Phase Two Premises Lease Commencement Date (as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary), then Tenant shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Base Rent, and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses equal to one (1) day for every one (1) day of delay beyond the Phase One Premises Lease Commencement Date or Phase Two Premises Lease Commencement Date, as applicable, provided that the delay is not caused by Force Majeure events or any delays caused by Tenant. In the event Landlord does not deliver possession of the applicable portion of the Premises to Tenant on or before that date which is sixty (60) days after the anticipated Phase One Premises Lease Commencement Date and/or the applicable anticipated Phase Two Premises Lease Commencement Date, then Tenant (in lieu of the day for day abatement provided above), shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses equal to two (2) days for every one (1) day beyond such sixty (60) day period in Landlord’s delivery of the applicable portion of the Premises to Tenant (subject to extension due to Tenant Delays and Force Majeure delays). At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease confirming the applicable Lease Commencement Date and Lease Expiration Date, in the form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof. In the event that Landlord does not deliver such amendment to Tenant, the Phase One Premises Lease Commencement Date and the Phase Two Premises Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the anticipated Phase One Premises Lease Commencement Date and the Phase Two Premises Lease Commencement Date set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary. Failure of Tenant to execute and deliver such amendment shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises by Tenant as of the date set forth in the amendment signed by Landlord and such date shall, for all purposes of this Lease, be the Phase One Premises Lease Commencement Date and Phase Two Premises Lease Commencement Date (as applicable).

 

2.2                               Option Term. Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant, any Affiliate Assignee and any assignee approved by Landlord pursuant to Article 14 of this Lease, the number of options to extend the Lease Term for the period of months set forth in the Summary of Basic Lease Information (the “Option Term”), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice (“Option Notice”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Section 2.2.2 below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice and, at Landlord’s option, as of the last day of the initial Lease Term, Tenant is not in default under this Lease after expiration of applicable cure periods. The right contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, any Affiliate Assignee and any assignee approved by Landlord pursuant to Article 14 of this Lease and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant, such Affiliate Assignee or such approved assignee without regard to whether the Original Tenant, any Affiliate Assignee or any approved assignee is conducting business in the Premises.

 

2.2.1                             Option Rent. The Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the then prevailing fair market rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the Option Term. The then prevailing fair market rent shall be the rental rate, including all escalations, at which new, non-renewal tenants, as of the commencement of the applicable Option Term, are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in Comparable Buildings, taking into consideration only the following concessions: tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the cost of the existing improvements in the Premises, and based upon the fact that the precise tenant improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant.

 

2.2.2                             Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Section 2.2 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by Tenant delivering written notice (“Exercise Notice”) to Landlord on or before the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, stating that Tenant is exercising its option. Failure of Tenant to deliver the Exercise Notice to Landlord on or before the date specified above shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s failure to exercise its option to extend. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its option to extend, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that the Rent shall be determined as provided below.

2.2.3                             Determination of Option Rent. In the event Tenant exercises its option to extend, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree in good faith upon the Option Rent. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s delivery of the Exercise Notice (the “Outside Agreement Date”), each party shall make a separate determination of the Base Rent, within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, concurrently exchange such determinations and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.2.3(i) through (viii) below.

 

(i)                                     Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of office space in Comparable Buildings. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Base Rent is the closest to the actual fair market rent, as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this Section 2.2 of this Lease. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) business days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.

 

(ii)                                          The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within five (5) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.

 

(iii)                                       The three (3) arbitrators shall within five (5) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Base Rent and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.

 

(iv)                                      The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

(v)                                         If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

(vi)                                      If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the Base Rent to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the instruction set forth in this Section 2.2.

 

(vii)                                   The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

 

(viii)                                In the event that the new monthly Base Rent is not established prior to end of the initial Term of this Lease, the monthly Base Rent immediately payable at the commencement of such Option Term shall be the monthly Base Rent payable in the immediately preceding month. Notwithstanding the above, once the fair market rental is determined in accordance with this Section 2.2, the parties shall settle any underpayment or overpayment on the next monthly Base Rent payment date falling not less than thirty (30) days after such determination.

BASE RENT

 

3.1                               Base Rent. Tenant shall pay, without notice or demand, to Landlord at the address specified in Section 8.1 of the Summary, or, at Landlord’s option, such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, in currency or a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. If any rental payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of a calendar month other than the first day of such calendar month or if any Rent payment is for a period which is shorter than one calendar month (such as during the last month of the Lease Term), the Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be the proportionate amount of a full calendar month’s rental based on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during which such fractional month occurs. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that it is their intent that all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other rent and charges payable to the Landlord under this Lease (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as “Rent”) shall qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and the Department of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”). Should the Code or the Regulations, or interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue Service contained in revenue rulings or other similar public pronouncements, be changed so that any Rent no longer so qualifies as “rent from real property” for purposes of Section 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, such Rent shall be adjusted in such manner as the Landlord may require so that it will so qualify; provided, however, that any adjustments required pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made so as to produce the equivalent (in economic terms) Rent as payable prior to such adjustment. The parties agree to execute such further instrument as may reasonably be required by the Landlord in order to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.

 

3.2                               Abated Rent for Phase One Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord hereby agrees (i) to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s monthly Base Rent for the Phase One Premises for the first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd), ninety-seventh (97th) and ninety-eighth (98th) full months of the initial Lease Term (the “Abated Phase One Rent”), (ii) to provide a Base Rent discount during months four (4) to twenty-nine (29) of the Lease Term for the Phase One Premises equal to [***] (the “Discount Rent”). During such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2 of this Lease that results in a termination of this Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 19 of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the unamortized amount of the Abated Phase One Rent that was abated under the provisions of this Section 3.2.

During such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2 of this Lease that results in a termination of this Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 19 of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the unamortized amount of the Abated Phase Two Rent that was abated under the provisions of this Section 3.3.

(i)                                     any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, including, without limitation, any governmental or private assessments or the contribution of the Building Complex towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease;

 

(ii)                                  any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax with respect to the receipt of such Rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;

 

(iii)                               any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises;

 

(iv)                              any possessory taxes charged or levied in lieu of real estate taxes;

4.2.5.2           In no event shall Tax Expenses for any Expense Year be less than the component of Tax Expenses comprising a portion of the Base Year.

 

4.2.5.3           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.5, there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses: (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building Complex); and (ii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 of this Lease. In addition, for so long as the Government Property Lease Excise Tax (“GPLET”) remains in effect, then any tax benefits accruing to Landlord and the Building Complex on account of the GPLET shall continue to benefit the Building Complex. In the event the GPLET ends and the Building becomes subject to Tax Expenses as defined herein, the year in which the Tax Expenses are charged to the Building will be determined to be the “Tax Expenses Base Year.” Beginning on January 1st of the year following the Tax Expenses Base Year, and continuing for each Expense Year thereafter, Tenant shall pay as additional rent Tenant’s Share of the Tax Expenses which are in excess of the Tax Expenses applicable to the Tax Expenses Base Year.

 

4.2.5.4           Intentionally Deleted.

 

4.2.6                             Intentionally Deleted.

 

4.2.7                             “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9.2 of the Summary. Tenant’s Share was calculated by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the total rentable square feet in the Building and multiplying the product by 100. Landlord shall have the right from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, to include or exclude existing or future buildings in the Building Complex in the calculation of the total rentable square feet of the Building Complex, for purposes of determining the Building’s Share of Direct Expenses and/or the provision of various services and amenities thereto, including equitable allocation of Direct Expenses in Cost Pools (as described in Section 4.2.4 above); in such event, Tenant’s Share shall include such allocation of the Building’s Share of Direct Expenses in the calculation of Tenant’s Share. In addition, in the event either the rentable square feet of the Premises and/or the Building and other buildings in the Building Complex is changed, Tenant’s Share and/or the Building’s Share shall be appropriately adjusted, and, as to the Expense Year in which such change occurs, Tenant’s Share and/or the Building’s Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant’s Share and/or the Building’s Share was in effect.

 

4.2.8                             “Systems and Equipment” shall mean any plant, machinery, transformers, duct work, cable, wires, and other equipment, facilities, and systems designed to supply heat, ventilation, air conditioning and humidity or any other services or utilities, or comprising or serving as any component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing, sprinkler, communications, alarm, security, or fire/life safety systems or equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer or other systems or equipment which serve the Building and/or any other building in the Building Complex in whole or in part.

 

4.2.9                             Allocation of Building Complex Expenses to Tenants of the Building. Direct Expenses (i.e., Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are determined annually for the Building Complex as a whole. Direct Expenses shall be allocated by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, to both the tenants of the Building and the tenants of any other buildings in the Building Complex. The portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the tenants of the Building shall consist of (i) all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and (ii) an equitable portion of Direct Expenses attributable to the Building Complex as a whole and not attributable solely to the Building or solely to any other building of the Building Complex.

4.3                               Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.

 

4.3.1                     Calculation of Excess. For each Expense Year beginning after the Base Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2, below, and as Additional Rent, the amount by which Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of the Direct Expenses for the Base Year (Tenant’s Share of such excess amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Excess”).

 

4.3.2                     Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Within ninety (90) days following the end of each Expense Year (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible but not to exceed one hundred fifty (150) days), Landlord shall give to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”), which shall indicate the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of any Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such Statement, the full amount of any Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Excess,” as that term is defined in Section 4.3.3, below. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of the Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, taking into consideration that the Lease Expiration Date may have occurred prior to the final day of the applicable Expense Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement, an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3.1 of this Lease as Tenant’s Share of the Excess for such final Expense Year. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

 

4.3.3                     Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as calculated by comparing Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such then-current Expense Year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Base Year. The Estimate Statement may be revised and reissued by Landlord one (1) time each year if Landlord determines in good faith that Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall have increased by more than three percent (3%) of the amount originally projected. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Estimate Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to a fraction of the Estimated Excess (or the increase in the Estimated Excess if pursuant to a revised Estimate Statement) for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid as Estimated Excess pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

 

4.3.4                     Cap on Controllable Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, the aggregate Controllable Expenses (as hereinafter defined) included in Operating Expenses in any Expense Year after the 2018 Base Year shall not increase by more than five percent (5%) on an annual and compounded basis, over the actual aggregate Controllable Expenses included in Operating Expenses for any preceding Expense Year, but with no such limit on the amount of Controllable Expenses which may be included in the Operating Expenses incurred during the 2018 Base Year. For purposes of this Section 4.3.4, “Controllable Expenses” shall mean all Operating Expenses except: (i) costs of utilities; (ii) any and all assessments, including assessment districts and government-mandated charges with respect to the Building or Real Property, or any part thereof; (iii) insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Real Property and/or the operation thereof; and (iv)costs of capital expenditures, including, without limitation, costs of capital improvements, capital alterations, and capital repairs. The provisions of this Section 4.3.4 do not apply to the Tax Expenses.

 

13


 

4.4                               Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand, for any and all taxes required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, and other taxes which may be excluded under Section 4.2.5.3 whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:

 

4.4.1                             said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build-out as determined by Landlord and Tenant regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord; or

 

4.4.2                             Intentionally Deleted.

 

4.4.3                             said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

 

4.5                               Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee by the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to two percent (2%) of the amount due plus any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid by the first of the month following the date they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.2.4 above.

 

4.6                               Audit Rights. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost, after reasonable notice to Landlord, to have Tenant’s authorized employees or agents inspect, at Landlord’s office during normal business hours, Landlord’s books, records and supporting documents concerning the Operating Expenses set forth in any Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant for a particular Expense Year pursuant to Section 4.3.2 above; provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to conduct such inspection or object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the Operating Expenses set forth in any such Statement, unless Tenant notifies Landlord of such inspection request, completes such inspection, and demands an audit as set forth below within eighteen (18) months immediately following Landlord’s delivery of the particular Statement in question (“Review Period”); provided, further, that notwithstanding any such timely inspection, objection, dispute, and/or audit, and as a condition precedent to Tenant’s exercise of its right of inspection, objection, dispute, and/or audit as set forth in this Section 4.6, Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord, the full amounts as required by the provisions of this Article 4 in accordance with such Statement. However, such payment may be made under protest pending the outcome of any audit. In connection with any such inspection by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with each other so that such inspection can be performed pursuant to a mutually acceptable schedule, in an expeditious manner and without undue interference with Landlord’s operation and management of the Building Complex. If after such inspection and/or request for documentation, Tenant disputes the amount of the Operating Expenses set forth in the Statement, and after discussion with Landlord, an agreement on the results of Tenant’s audit is not reached by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation to cause an independent certified public accountant which is not paid on a contingency basis and which is mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant (the “Accountant”) to complete an audit of Landlord’s books and records to determine the proper amount of the Operating Expenses incurred and amounts payable by Tenant for the Expense Year which is the subject of such Statement. Such audit by the Accountant shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree as to the identity of the Accountant within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant desires an audit to be performed, then the Accountant shall be one of the “Big

 

14


 

4” accounting firms selected by Landlord, which is not paid on a contingency basis. If such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant the amount of such over-charge. If the audit reveals that the Tenant was under-charged, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such under-charge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit unless it is subsequently determined that Landlord’s original Statement which was the subject of such audit was in error to Tenant’s disadvantage by five percent (5%) or more of the total Operating Expenses which was the subject of such audit. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement provided by Landlord at any time during the Review Period, but the failure of Tenant to object thereto during the Review Period and to conduct and complete its inspection and have the Accountant conduct and complete the audit as described above promptly thereafter shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s approval of the Statement in question and the amount of Operating Expenses shown thereon. In connection with any inspection and/or audit conducted by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.6, Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause all of Tenant’s employees and consultants and the Accountant to keep, all of Landlord’s books and records and the audit, and all information pertaining thereto and the results thereof, strictly confidential (except to the extent disclosure is required in accordance with applicable law), and in connection therewith, Tenant shall cause such employees, consultants and the Accountant to execute such reasonable confidentiality agreements as Landlord may require prior to conducting any such inspections and/or audits.

5.2.3                     Remedial Work. In the event any investigation or monitoring of site conditions or any clean-up, containment, restoration, removal or other remedial work (collectively, the “Remedial Work”) is required under any applicable federal, state or local laws or by any judicial order, or by any governmental entity as the result of operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of any portion of the Premises by Tenant or Tenant Affiliates, exclusively, Tenant shall perform or cause to be performed the Remedial Work in compliance with such laws or order. All Remedial Work shall be performed by one or more contractors, selected by Tenant and approved in advance in writing by Landlord.

5.3                               Exclusive Use. During the Lease Term and so long as no Event of Default exists under the Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) and Original Tenant or any Affiliate Assignee is leasing the Premises then leased by Tenant hereunder (and Original Tenant or any Affiliate Assignee is conducting business in all or any portion of the Premises) as a residential real estate mortgage lender and/or residential real estate mortgage broker and/or title company, Landlord shall not enter into a direct lease for space in the Building Complex with a “Competitor” of Tenant (as defined below).

The term “Competitor” shall not include any affiliates or subsidiaries of any such Competitors. In addition to not entering into any direct lease with a Competitor, Landlord shall not consent to any sublease or assignment of a lease by another future tenant in the Building Complex to a Competitor but only if Landlord has the express right to withhold consent pursuant to the term of such lease (where such sublease or assignment is subject to Landlord’s consent).

16


 

shall have the right to exercise all of its rights and remedies against Landlord, at law and/or in equity. In addition, if Tenant provides Landlord with written notice that Landlord has entered into a lease with a Competitor (but not including a title company) and such breach is not cured by Landlord then, for the first sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant’s written notice that such breach continues, Tenant shall be entitled to a Base Rent credit equal to [***] per calendar month and for the next succeeding ninety (90) days, Tenant shall be entitled to a Base Rent credit equal to [***] per calendar month (in lieu of the prior Base Rent Credit) and after such one hundred fifty (150) day period, Tenant shall be entitled (in lieu of the prior Base Rent Credit) to a Base Rent credit equal to [***] per calendar month, all prorated for partial months; such Base Rent credit shall only apply (if at all) in the event Landlord enters into a direct lease with a Competitor that is not a title company and only if Original Tenant or any Affiliate Assignee is actually conducting business in all or any portion of the Premises as a residential real estate mortgage lender and/or residential real estate mortgage broker. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to lease space in the Building to (i) any Competitor so long as such Competitor’s primary use of such space is not that of a residential mortgage lender, (ii) any bank or other financial institution that is not a Competitor and (iii) any bank on the first (1st) floor of the Building (even if they are a Competitor).

For purposes of clarification, any updated list provided by Tenant during any calendar year shall only apply to the following calendar year and shall not apply to the calendar year in which Tenant submitted such updated list. In no event shall any updated Competitor list (i) apply retroactively to leases entered into by Landlord with entities that were not Competitors at the time Landlord entered into such leases or (ii) include more than eight (8) Competitors. In no event shall the Base Rent credit apply to any lease by Landlord to a Competitor which is a title company.

In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, for three (3) consecutive business days (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord after the Lease Commencement Date and required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease or permitted pursuant to Section 24.27 below, or (ii) any failure by Landlord to provide to the Premises any of the facilities for essential utilities and services required to be provided in Section 6.1.1 above, or (iii) any failure by Landlord to provide access to the Premises, then Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from and after the first (1st) day following the Eligibility Period and continuing until such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall only be entitled to such abatement of rent if the matter described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence is caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of rent because of a damage or destruction pursuant to Article 11 or a taking pursuant to Article 12, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable.

 

ARTICLE 7

REPAIRS

 

7.1                               Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Landlord’s repair obligations in Sections 7.2 and 11.1 below, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term, which repair obligations shall include, without limitation, the obligation to promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged or broken fixtures and appurtenances; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith upon being billed for same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s obligations under this Section 7.1 shall not apply to conditions requiring repair or replacement due to any act, neglect, fault or omission of any duty by Landlord, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant the actual, documented and reasonable cost of such repairs and replacements.

 

7.2                               Landlord’s Repairs. Anything contained in Section 7.1 above to the contrary notwithstanding, and subject to Articles 11 and 12 of this Lease, Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building and the plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, life safety and electrical systems serving the Building and not located in the Premises; provided, however, if such maintenance and repairs are caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect, fault of or omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. There shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Premises or Building Complex or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein but Landlord shall take reasonable measures not to interfere with Tenant’s business. Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make any repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building Complex or to any equipment located in the Building Complex as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

 

7.3                               Tenant’s Right to Make Repairs. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Article 7 to the contrary, if Tenant provides written notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord under the express terms and provisions of this Lease with respect to repair and/or maintenance of the Premises only (and not any other portion of the Building), and Landlord fails to provide

 

19


 

such action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after the receipt of such notice, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action and shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s actual reasonable costs in taking such action. However, if the work so performed by Tenant pertains to items that would otherwise be includable under Operating Expenses pursuant to Article 4 above, then Landlord may include the amount of such reimbursement in Operating Expenses. In the event Tenant takes such action, and such work will affect the Building systems or the structural integrity of the Building, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for work on such Building systems or structure unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings and who is reasonably approved by Landlord in writing within two (2) business days after notification is delivered to Landlord. Further, if Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice by Tenant of its costs of taking action which Tenant claims should have been taken by Landlord, and if such invoice from Tenant sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking such action on behalf of Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Base Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice. If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends is not excessive), then Tenant shall not be entitled to such deduction from rent, but as Tenant’s sole remedy, Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 8

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

 

8.1                               Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Except as hereinafter provided, Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord where any such Alterations (i) may materially, adversely affect the structural components of the Building, or the Building’s mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, or life safety systems or the Systems and Equipment, or (ii) are visible from outside the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make cosmetic changes to the Premises, (including, but not limited to adjusting work stations and walls) not requiring any structural or other substantial modifications to the Premises, nor requiring a building permit, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Additionally, Landlord’s consent shall not be required with respect to any non-structural interior alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises. Tenant shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses of the Alterations. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter, attached hereto as Exhibit D, and not the terms of this Article 8.

 

8.2                               Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, when required, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term. Landlord may also, with respect to any work affecting the structural components of the Building or Systems and Equipment, specify contractors to perform such work. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance, including, without limitation, Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”), and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of Phoenix in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Building or Building Complex or the common

 

20


 

areas by any other tenant of the Building Complex, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Building Complex, or interfere with the labor force working in the Building Complex. If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a timely Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of Maricopa County in accordance with applicable Arizona law, (ii) deliver to the Building Complex management office a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.

 

8.3                               Payment for Alterations. If Tenant orders any Alterations or repair work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, all charges for such work, including five percent (5%) of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work.

 

8.4                               Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements and fixtures which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord.

 

ARTICLE 9

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

 

Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Real Property or any portion thereof, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Real Property or any portion thereof, with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of record which removal may be accomplished by posting a bond pursuant to applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed on or before the date occurring twenty (20) days after notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant.

 

ARTICLE 10

INSURANCE

 

10.1                        Indemnification and Waiver. Tenant hereby assumes risk of damage to property and injury to persons in, on or about the Premises resulting from Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct, and agrees that, to the extent not prohibited by law, Landlord, its members, directors, partners and subpartners, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, property managers, employees and independent contractors (collectively, the “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense, cause of action, claims and liability, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively “Claims”) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises, and/or any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, employees, licensees or invitees of Tenant or any such person in, on or about the Real Property, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall

 

21


 

not apply to any Claims to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties and not insured (or required to be insured) by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant’s indemnity shall not extend to loss of business, loss of profits or other consequential damages which may be suffered by Landlord. Tenant’s agreement to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provision of this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Tenant, its members, directors, partners and subpartners, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and independent contractors (collectively, the “Tenant Parties”) from and against any and all Claims incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Common Area or the Building, and/or the gross negligence of Landlord or of any person claiming by, through or under Landlord, or of the contractors, agents, employees, licensees or invitees of Landlord or any such person in, on or about the Real Property, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Claims to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant’s Parties and not insured (or required to be insured) by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord’s indemnity obligations shall not extend to loss of business, loss of profits, or other consequential damages which may be suffered by Tenant. Landlord’s agreement to indemnify Tenant pursuant to this Section 10.1 is not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provision of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any Claims occurring prior to such expiration or termination.

 

10.2                        Tenant’s Compliance with Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for any insurance policies carried by Landlord, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

 

10.3                        Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts at all times following the date (the “Insurance Start Date”) which is the earlier of (i) Tenant’s entry into the Premises to perform any work therein, or (ii) the Lease Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter throughout the Lease Term:

 

10.3.1                      Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant’s operations, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including a Commercial General Liability endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than: (i) Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability - $5,000,000 each occurrence and $5,000,000 annual aggregate, and (ii) Personal Injury Liability - $5,000,000 each occurrence and $5,000,000 annual aggregate.

 

10.3.2                      Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, and (ii) all Alterations and other improvements and additions in and to the Premises whether owned by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Such insurance shall be written on an “all risks” of physical loss or damage basis, for the guaranteed replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage.

 

10.3.3                      Business interruption, loss-of-income and extra-expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils.

 

22


 

10.3.4                      The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such insurance shall: (i) name Landlord, Parallel Capital Partners, Inc., and any other party it so specifies, as an additional insured; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of Arizona; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord; and (vi) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver certificates evidencing Tenant’s insurance to Landlord on or before the Insurance Start Date and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such certificate, Landlord may, at its option, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the costs of it shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Original Tenant and any Affiliate Assignee (and not any other assignee, subtenant or other transferee) may, subject to the provisions hereof, fulfill its insurance obligations under Section 10.3.3 above by self-insurance. Any self-insurance so maintained by Tenant shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions applicable to such insurance as required in this Article 10, including, without limitation, a deemed waiver of subrogation; consequently, Landlord shall be treated, for all purposes, as if Tenant had actually purchased such insurance from a third party. If Tenant elects to so self-insure, then with respect to any claims which may result from incidents occurring during the Lease Term, such self-insurance obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease to the same extent as the insurance required hereunder would survive.

 

10.4                        Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each agrees to have its respective insurance company issuing property damage, loss of income and/or rental interruption and extra expense insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such company may have against the other party. Each party hereby waives any right that it may have against the other party on account of any loss or damage to its property. If either party fails to carry the amounts and types of insurance required to be carried by it pursuant to this Article 10, in addition to any remedies the other party may have under this Lease, such failure shall be deemed to be a covenant and agreement by that party to self-insure with respect to the type and amount of insurance which such party so failed to carry, with full waiver of subrogation with respect thereto.

 

10.5                        Landlord’s Insurance. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain property insurance covering the Building Complex (excluding the property which Tenant is obligated to insure pursuant to the terms hereof). Such policy shall provide protection against “all risk of physical loss”. Landlord shall also maintain commercial general liability and property damage insurance with respect to the operation of the Building Complex. Such insurance shall be in such amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and carry any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagees or deed of trust beneficiaries may determine prudent. Tenant shall be liable for the payment of all premiums for such insurance. Notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance as provided in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any insurance policies maintained by Landlord and will not be named as an additional insured thereunder.

 

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

 

11.1                        Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty or any condition existing in the Premises as a result of a fire or other casualty that would give rise to the terms of this Article 11. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building Complex serving or providing access to the Premises shall

 

23


 

be damaged by fire or other casualty or be subject to a condition existing as a result of a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises to the condition in which it was delivered to Tenant originally at the beginning of this Lease and such common areas to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building Complex (or any portion thereof) or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3.2(ii) of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord of the completion of Landlord’s repair of the damage. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.

 

11.2                        Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or Building and/or any other portion of the Building Complex and instead terminate this Lease (provided that the leases of all other tenants in the Building which are similarly situated are also terminated) by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building Complex shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause or be subject to a condition existing as a result of such a fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Real Property or ground lessor with respect to the Real Property shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage or condition arising as a result of such damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies. In addition, if the Premises, the Building or any portion of the Building Complex is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice, however, Landlord’s rights under this sentence shall be deemed waived if Tenant shall exercise the next available renewal option. Upon such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of damage (subject to any abatement as provided in Section 11.1 above), and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Term.

 

11.3                        Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Real Property, and any statute or regulation of the State of Arizona with

 

24


 

respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Real Property.

 

ARTICLE 12

CONDEMNATION

 

12.1                        Permanent Taking. If ten percent (10%) or more of the Premises or Building Complex shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice to Tenant, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses and any other awards and expenses to which Tenant may be entitled under law. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Base Rent shall be proportionately abated.

 

12.2                        Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 12, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of thirty (30) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Building Complex Expenses shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

 

ARTICLE 13

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

 

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

 

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

14.1                        Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than forty-five (45) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including a calculation of the “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in Section 14.3, below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements

 

25


 

incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and (v) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent, when such consent is required, shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under Section 19.1.2 of this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, in an amount not to exceed Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) in 2017 dollars.

 

14.2                        Landlord’s Consent. Subject to Landlord’s rights in Section 14.4 below, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be deemed to be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:

 

14.2.1                      The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building Complex;

 

14.2.2                      The Transferee’s intended use of the Subject Space is not permitted under this Lease;

 

14.2.3                      The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space than is allowed under applicable laws;

 

14.2.4                      The Transferee is a governmental entity or agency;

 

14.2.5                      The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the Lease on the date consent is requested;

 

14.2.6                      The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Building Complex a right to cancel its lease; or

 

14.2.7                      Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Building Complex at the time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building Complex at such time.

 

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six (6)-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any material changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to a proposed Transfer or otherwise has breached its obligations under this Article, Tenant’s and such Transferee’s only remedy shall be to seek a declaratory judgment and/or injunctive relief, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and, to the extent permitted by law, such proposed Transferee, waives all other remedies against Landlord, including without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages or terminate this Lease.

14.3                        Transfer Premium.

 

14.3.1              Definition of Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer which is in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer, on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer and (iii) Tenant’s legal fees (collectively, the “Subleasing Costs”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.

 

14.3.2              Payment of Transfer Premiums. The Transfer Premium shall be paid to Landlord promptly upon receipt of any portion of the Transfer Premium from the Transferee. For purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium, Tenant’s Subleasing Costs shall be deemed to be offset against the first rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by the Transferee, until such Subleasing Costs are exhausted.

 

14.3.3              Calculations of Rent. In the calculation of the Rent, as it relates to the Transfer Premium calculated under Section 14.3.1 above, the Rent paid during each annual period for the Subject Space by Tenant, shall be computed after adjusting such rent to the actual effective rent to be paid, taking into consideration any and all leasehold concessions granted in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, any rent credit and tenant improvement allowance. For purposes of calculating any such effective rent, all such concessions shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant term.

 

14.4                        Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event of an assignment of this Lease to anyone other than an Affiliate of Tenant, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice (“Recapture Notice”) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to terminate this Lease and recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.2 of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if Landlord delivers a Recapture Notice to Tenant, Tenant may, within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Recapture Notice, deliver written notice to Landlord indicating that Tenant is rescinding its request for consent to the proposed Transfer, in which case such Transfer shall not be consummated and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises that was the subject of the Transfer. Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord in writing within said ten (10) day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s election to allow the Recapture Notice to be effective.

 

14.5                        Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to the calculation of any Transfer Premium, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.

 

27


 

14.6                        Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period and a change in control, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or (B) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period and a change in control, or (C)the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period.

 

14.7                        Affiliated Companies/Restructuring of Business Organization. The assignment or subletting by Tenant of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to (i) a parent or subsidiary (including any subsidiary of a subsidiary) of Tenant, or (ii) any person or entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or (iii) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iv) any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated, or (v) any entity in which Tenant or an affiliate of Tenant or any beneficial owner of Tenant or its parent or subsidiaries has any interest or is an officer, director, shareholder, partner, member or manager or at any other level (all such persons or entities described in (i), (ii), (iii) (iv) and (v) being sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Affiliates”) shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, and thus shall not be subject to Landlord’s consent under Section 14.1 or any other Lease provision, provided that:

 

14.7.1              Tenant gives Landlord prior notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate;

 

14.7.2              the successor of Tenant and Tenant have as of the effective date of any such assignment or sublease a tangible net worth, in the aggregate, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is sufficient to meet the obligations of Tenant under this Lease;

 

14.7.3              any such assignment or sublease shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and such assignee or sublessee shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the Subject Space which is the subject of such Transfer (other than the amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant with respect to a sublease); and

 

14.7.4              Tenant shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease.

 

An Affiliate that is an assignee of Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease may be referred to as an “Affiliate Assignee”.

 

ARTICLE 15

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

 

15.1                        Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord or the Lease Expiration Date has occurred. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease (unless the Lease Expiration Date has occurred), whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger,

 

28


 

and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.

 

15.2                        Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. All articles of personal property and all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, furniture and movable partitions owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, which items are not a part of the tenant improvements installed in the Premises, shall remain the property of Tenant, and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Lease Term. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder and damage due to casualties excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal. Upon such expiration or termination Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, any telecommunications lines and cabling installed by or at the request of Tenant, free standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may in its sole discretion require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.

 

15.3                        Removal of Tenant’s Property by Landlord. Whenever Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in this Lease, any personal property of Tenant not removed by Tenant upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or within five (5) business days after a termination by reason of Tenant’s default as provided in this Lease, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and may be disposed of by Landlord in accordance with applicable Arizona law.

 

15.4                        Landlord’s Actions on Premises. Tenant hereby waives, and releases Landlord from, all claims for damages or other liability in connection with Landlord’s or its agents’ or representatives’ lawfully reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing, retaining, storing or selling the property of Tenant as herein provided.

 

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER

 

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant holds over without Landlord’s consent, such holding over may compromise or otherwise affect Landlord’s ability to enter into new leases with prospective tenants regarding the Premises. Therefore, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises within ten (10) days following the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all Claims resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any losses suffered by Landlord resulting from such failure to

 

29


 

surrender; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant’s indemnity obligation extend to consequential, punitive, exemplary or special damages, or any damages which are not proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to timely surrender the Premises.

 

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

 

Within fifteen (15) days following a request in writing by Landlord, when required for the finance, refinance or prospective sale of the Building, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other reasonably similar form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Building Complex or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information which is customarily contained in estoppel certificates and reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or purchasers. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. During the Lease Term, when required for the finance, refinance or prospective sale of the Building, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with financial information in accordance with Section 25.34 hereof (including making Tenant’s CFO available as provided in Section 25.34). Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Failure by Tenant to so deliver such estoppel certificate shall be a default of the provisions of this Lease subject to the applicable notice and cure periods provided in Section 19.1.2..

 

ARTICLE 18

SUBORDINATION

 

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all easement agreements and covenants, conditions and restrictions recorded against the land underlying the Building Complex, and, subject to the provisions in the immediately following sentence, to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto; provided, however, that Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future mortgage is conditioned on the holder of such interest entering into a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement with Tenant. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof, to attorn to the purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof if so requested to do so by such purchaser, and to recognize such purchaser as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases on the terms as set forth above. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Landlord shall, on or before the Lease Commencement Date, obtain from the current lender holding a lien on the Real Property as of the date hereof, an SNDA in favor of Tenant with respect to this Lease, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

 

19.1                        Tenant Defaults. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

 

19.1.1              Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due, and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; provided however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable Arizona law; or

 

19.1.2              Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable Arizona law; and provided further that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default, as soon as possible; or

 

19.1.3              Abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant coupled with the failure to pay Rent; or

 

19.1.4              Intentionally Deleted.

 

19.1.5              To the extent permitted by law, a general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease for the benefit of creditors, or the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, unless in the case of a proceeding filed against Tenant or any guarantor the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor, unless possession is restored to Tenant or such guarantor within thirty (30) days, or any execution or other judicially authorized seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located upon the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, unless such seizure is discharged within thirty (30) days; or

 

19.1.6              The hypothecation or assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, or attempts at such actions, in violation of Article 14 hereof.

 

19.2                        Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

 

19.2.1              Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, lawfully enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

 

(i)                                     The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

 

(ii)                                  The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

31


 

(iii)                                       The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iv)                                      Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

 

(v)                                         At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

 

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.2.4 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Section 19.2.1 (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

 

19.2.2              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 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages but Landlord shall not be required to favor the Premises, if there is other vacant comparable space in the Building. 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 Costs of Re-Letting (as defined below) and must pay Landlord the same within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Landlord may relet the Premises for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Lease 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 Re-Letting Proceeds (as defined below) received for the current month against Tenant’s Rent obligation for the next succeeding month. If the Net Re-Letting Proceeds received for any month exceeds Tenant’s Rent obligation for the succeeding month, Landlord may retain the surplus.

 

As used herein, “Net Re-Letting Proceeds” shall mean the total amount of rent and other consideration paid by any Replacement Tenants (as defined below), less all Costs of Re-Letting, during a given period of time. “Costs of Re-Letting” shall include without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for any repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises, standard market rate, brokerage commissions, advertising costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, any customary free rent periods or credits, tenant improvement allowances, take-over lease obligations and other customary, necessary or appropriate economic incentives required to enter leases with Replacement Tenants, and costs of collecting rent from Replacement Tenants which are consistent with then current standard market conditions. “Replacement Tenants” shall mean any individual, trust, partnership, company, joint venture, association, corporation, or any other entity to whom Landlord relets the Premises or any portion thereof pursuant to this Section 19.2.2.

 

32


 

Landlord shall have all available remedies provided to Landlord as lessor under this Lease in accordance with applicable Arizona law.

 

19.2.3              Landlord may continue the Lease in effect and recover rent as it becomes due. Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

 

19.2.4              Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes), all at Tenant’s expense, without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder. In the event of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses a material risk of injury or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property, then Landlord shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Section 19.1 above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

 

19.3                        Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and reasonable obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance or cure of any of Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all reasonable expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

 

19.4                        Subleases of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, following any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

 

19.5                        Intentionally Deleted.

 

19.6                        Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Tenant of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

 

19.7                        Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.

 

33


 

19.8                        Landlord’s Default.

 

19.8.1              Landlord shall not be deemed in default under the terms of this Lease unless (i) Landlord shall fail to pay any amount payable hereunder when and as such sum becomes due and payable and such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant or (ii) Landlord shall fail to perform its obligations under this Lease for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default shall have been received by Landlord, provided that if the curing of such default reasonably requires in excess of thirty (30) days, Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder if it shall commence to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure, then Tenant shall have its rights and remedies provided at law and in equity and pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

 

19.8.2              Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that before sending such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing of the address of the mortgagee. Tenant further agrees, except in the event of an emergency, that if Landlord fails to cure any default within the time provided in this Lease, the mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure the default, and if the default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, then such reasonable additional time as may be necessary to cure the default will be granted if within the initial thirty (30) day period, the mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing its remedies necessary to cure the default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event, the Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

 

19.8.3              The provisions of this Section 19.8 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

19.8.4              Waiver of Default. No waiver by Tenant of any violation or breach by Landlord of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Landlord of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Tenant in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by Landlord shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.

SIGNS

 

21.1                        Full Floor Tenants. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in its sole discretion, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building Complex, if the Premises or any portion thereof comprise an entire floor of the Building, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises including in the elevator lobby of the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building.

Tenant shall be entitled to use throughout the Lease Term the number of reserved and unreserved parking passes set forth in Section 12 of the Summary, in a location in the Building Complex Parking Area as designated in Section 12 of the Summary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord agrees to abate Tenant’s parking charges for the first twelve (12) full calendar months of the Lease Term. Tenant’s continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Building Complex Parking Area provided that Landlord shall enforce such rules and regulations uniformly as to all users of the Building Complex Parking Area. In addition, Landlord may assign any parking spaces and/or make all or a portion of such spaces reserved or institute an attendant-assisted tandem parking program and/or valet parking program if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that such is necessary or desirable for orderly and efficient parking. Landlord specifically reserves the right, from time to time, to change the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Building Complex Parking Area, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord, from time to time, may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease temporarily close-off or restrict access to the Building Complex Parking Area, or temporarily relocate Tenant’s parking spaces to other parking structures and/or surface parking areas within a reasonable distance from the Building Complex Parking Area, for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements or to accommodate or facilitate renovation, alteration, construction or other modification of other improvements or structures located on the Real Property. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to Landlord. The parking rates charged by Landlord for Tenant’s parking passes shall be exclusive of any parking tax or other charges imposed by governmental authorities in connection with the use of such parking, which taxes and/or charges shall be paid directly by Tenant or the parking users, or, if directly imposed against Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such taxes and/or charges within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the invoice from Landlord. The parking passes provided to Tenant pursuant to this Article 24 are provided solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel (and the personnel of any Affiliate Assignee) and such passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written approval (except to any Affiliate Assignee). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or elsewhere in the Lease, the following terms and conditions shall apply to the Tenant parking set forth herein: (i) Tenant shall always have available for its use two (2) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of space in the Building occupied by Tenant which shall include any additional Space acquired by Tenant’s exercise of its rights under Section 1.4 hereof; (ii) if Tenant increases the size of the Premises by any First Offer Space, three (3%) percent of all new parking spaces shall be set aside as reserved parking spaces; (iii) all parking spaces which are reserved spaces for Tenant’s use in the Building Complex Parking Area shall be designated parking spaces for Tenant’s exclusive use; (iv) Tenant may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord convert any reserved parking spaces to unreserved parking spaces; (v) Tenant shall have access to the Building Complex Parking Area and its parking spaces twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week and three hundred sixty five (365) days each year, subject, however, to the aforementioned rights of Landlord to temporarily restrict access thereto for maintenance and repair and subject to Force Majeure events; (vi) the reserved spaces designated for Tenant are identified on Exhibit I attached hereto and shall be designated with signs reading “For Expectant Mothers”.

Further, Tenant shall have the right of access, consistent with this Section 25.36, to the area where the Communication Equipment is located for the purposes of maintaining, repairing, testing and replacing the same. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to relocate the Communication Equipment at any time to another location on the roof of the Building.

Tenant’s installation and operation of the Communication Equipment shall be governed by the following terms and conditions.

 

25.36.1       Tenant’s right to install, replace, repair, remove, operate and maintain the Communication Equipment shall be subject to all applicable laws and Landlord makes no representation that such laws permit such installation and operation;

 

25.36.2       All plans and specifications for the Communication Equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval;

 

25.36.3       All costs of installation, operation and maintenance of the Communication Equipment and any necessary related equipment (including, without limitation, costs of obtaining any necessary permits and connections to the Building’s electrical system) shall be borne by Tenant;

 

25.36.4       It is expressly understood that Landlord retains the right to use the roof of the Building for any purpose whatsoever (including granting rights to third parties to utilize any portion of the roof not utilized by Tenant);

43


 

25.36.6       For the purposes of determining Tenant’s obligations with respect to its use of the roof of the Building herein provided, all of the provisions of this Lease relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, and compliance with laws shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the Communication Equipment; provided, however, Tenant shall only be provided access to the roof after prior written notice to Landlord and subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and restrictions regarding access (including, at Landlord’s option, the requirement that Tenant be accompanied by a representative of Landlord during such access). Landlord shall not have any obligations with respect to the Communication Equipment. Landlord makes no representation that the Communication Equipment will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance (whether or not by reason of the installation or use of similar equipment by others on the roof of the Building) and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor;

 

25.36.7       Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Communication Equipment, (ii) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to any laws or regulations in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Communication Equipment and comply with all precautions and safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, and (iii) pay for all necessary repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Communication Equipment;

 

25.36.8       The Communication Equipment shall remain the sole property of Tenant. Tenant shall remove the Communication Equipment and related equipment at Tenant’s sole cost and expense upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or upon the imposition of any governmental law or regulation which may require removal, and shall repair the Building upon such removal to the extent required by such work of removal. If Tenant fails to remove the Communication Equipment and repair the Building upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense. The provisions of this Section 25.36.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease;

 

25.36.9       The Communication Equipment shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Premises for purposes of Article 10 of this Lease;

 

25.36.10                                                 Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall install and maintain such fencing and other protective equipment and/or visual screening on or about the Communication Equipment as Landlord may reasonably determine;

 

25.36.11                                                 If any of the conditions set forth in this Section 25.36 are not complied with by Tenant, then without limiting Landlord’s rights and remedies it may otherwise have under this Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall correct such noncompliance within ten (10) days after receipt of notice (or such longer period as may be reasonably required as long as Tenant commences such correction within such ten (10) day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion). If Tenant fails to correct any such noncompliance within such ten (10) day period (as may be extended), then, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall immediately discontinue its use of such Communication Equipment and remove the same in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

25.36.12                                                 The area occupied by the Communication Equipment shall not be included in measuring the size of the Premises described in Section 6.1 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information; Tenant shall not be required to pay any fee, rent or other lease charges for such area.

 

25.37                 Backup Generator. Subject to Landlord’s prior approval of all plans and specifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Landlord shall permit Tenant to install and maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a backup generator at a location described in Exhibit J or such other location as may be designated by Landlord. Such backup generator shall be used by Tenant only during (i) testing and regular maintenance, and (ii) any period of electrical power outage in the Building Complex. Tenant shall be entitled to operate the generator for testing and regular maintenance only upon notice to Landlord and at times reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall submit the specifications for design, operation, installation and maintenance of the backup generator for Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and may be conditioned on Tenant complying with such reasonable requirements imposed by Landlord, based on the advice of Landlord’s structural and

 

44


 

mechanical engineers, so that the Building Complex’s systems and equipment are not adversely affected. In addition, Tenant shall ensure that the backup generator does not result in any Hazardous Materials being introduced to the Real Property, and Article 5 will apply to Tenant’s use of the backup generator. Further, Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that the backup generator does not interfere with the use of the Building Complex by other tenants. In the event another tenant of the Building Complex or of a neighboring project complains of problems caused by the generator, Tenant shall take whatever steps are reasonably necessary to remedy the problem complained of, including removal of the backup generator if another solution is not available. Tenant shall ensure that the design and installation of the backup generator is performed in a manner so as to minimize or eliminate any noise or vibration cause by such generator. Any repairs and maintenance of such generator shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to such generator. If Tenant is so notified by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove such generator upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term and repair all damage to the Building Complex resulting from such removal. Such generator shall be deemed to be a part of the Premises for purposes of Article 10 of this Lease. Any backup generator installed by Tenant shall remain the sole and separate property of Tenant and shall, if Landlord elects, be removed by Tenant at the end of the Lease Term. In such event, in addition to removing the backup generator, Tenant shall also remove all wiring and conduits which are external to the Building and by which the backup generator was installed.

Should Landlord disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved. Any defects or deviations in, and/or disapproval by Landlord of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord determines that a defect or deviation exists or disapproves of any matter in connection with any portion of the Tenant Improvements and such defect, deviation or matter might adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning or life-safety systems of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises, Landlord shall notify Tenant to take corrective action.

At the conclusion of construction, (i) Tenant shall cause the Architect and Contractor (A) to update the Approved Working Drawings as necessary to reflect all changes made to the Approved Working Drawings during the course of construction, (B) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the “record-set” of as-built drawings are true and correct, which certification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease, and (C) to deliver to Landlord two (2) sets of sepias of such as-built drawings within ninety (90) days following issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and (ii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all warranties, guaranties, and operating manuals and information relating to the improvements, equipment, and systems in the Premises.

The provisions of this Article 3 shall be effective and self-operative without any need for Successor Landlord or Tenant to execute any further documents. Tenant and Successor Landlord shall, however, confirm the provisions of this Article 3 in writing upon request by either of them within ten (10) business days of such request.

 

4.                                      Protection of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Mortgage, Successor Landlord shall not be liable for or bound by any of the following matters:

 

a.                                      Claims Against Former Landlord. Any Offset Right that Tenant may have against any Former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment, including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by Former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment. The foregoing shall not limit either (i) Tenant’s right to exercise against Successor Landlord any Offset Right otherwise available to Tenant because of events occurring after the date of attornment (which events shall include failure to pay allowances due under the Lease which occurred prior to the date of attornment and continue after the date of attornment due to Successor Landlord’s failure to cure such events); or (ii) Successor Landlord’s obligation to correct any conditions that existed as of the date of attornment and violate Successor Landlord’s obligations as landlord under the Lease; or (iii) Tenant’s right to deduct from payments of Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in Section 2.1 of Exhibit D to the Lease) to which Tenant is entitled under the Lease which was due but not paid by the Landlord.

 

b.                                      Prepayments. Any payment of Rent that Tenant may have made to Former Landlord more than thirty (30) days before the date such Rent was first due and payable under the Lease with respect to any period after the date of attornment other than, and only to the extent that, the Lease expressly required such a prepayment.

 

c.                                       Payment; Security Deposit; Work. Any obligation: (i) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any Former Landlord owed to Tenant unless such sums, if any, shall have been actually delivered to Mortgagee by way of an assumption of escrow accounts or otherwise, provided, however, that this prohibition shall not apply to Tenant’s right to recover the Tenant Improvement Allowance from Successor Landlord as provided in the Lease and Section 4(a) above; (ii) with respect to any security deposited with Former Landlord, unless such security was actually delivered to Mortgagee; (iii) to the extent obligated under the Lease, to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements in the Leased Premises or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing

 

3


 

improvements thereon; (iv) to reconstruct or repair improvements following a fire, casualty or condemnation, provided, however, Tenant shall, as a result of any such failure to construct or complete construction have a right to terminate the Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice delivered to Successor Landlord; or (v) arising from representations and warranties related to Former Landlord.

 

d.                                      Modification, Amendment or Waiver. Any modification or amendment of the Lease, or any waiver of the terms of the Lease, made without Mortgagee’s written consent which, if not provided to Landlord and Tenant within ten (10) business days after written request is received by Mortgagee, Mortgagee’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted.

 

e.                                       Surrender, Etc. Any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.

 

5.                                      Exculpation of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, Successor Landlord’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Successor Landlord’s (or its successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in the Property from time to time, including insurance and condemnation proceeds, security deposits, escrows, Successor Landlord’s interest in the Lease, and the proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition of the Property (or any portion thereof) by Successor Landlord (collectively, the “Successor Landlord’s Interest”). Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) for payment or discharge of any obligations of Successor Landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Successor Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) to collect such judgment. Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord.

 

6.                                      Mortgagee’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Agreement, before exercising any Offset Right or Termination Right:

 

a.                                      Notice to Mortgagee. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to provide Mortgagee notice of all breaches and defaults under the Lease. Tenant will not terminate the Lease nor discontinue or abate rent due under the Lease as a result of a breach or default by Landlord without first providing Mortgagee with notice of the breach or default by Landlord giving rise to same (the “Default Notice”) and, thereafter, the opportunity to cure such breach or default as provided for below.

 

b.                                      Mortgagee’s Cure Period. After Mortgagee receives a Default Notice, Mortgagee shall have a period of thirty (30) days beyond the time available to Landlord under the Lease in which to cure the breach or default by Landlord. Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Mortgagee agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing. In addition, as to any breach or default by Landlord the cure of which requires

 

4


 

possession and control of the Property, provided that Mortgagee undertakes by written notice to Tenant to exercise reasonable efforts to cure or cause to be cured by a receiver such breach or default within the period permitted by this paragraph, Mortgagee’s cure period shall continue for such additional time (not to exceed 90 days) as Mortgagee may reasonably require to either: (i) obtain possession and control of the Property with due diligence and thereafter cure the breach or default with reasonable diligence and continuity; or (ii) obtain the appointment of a receiver and give such receiver a reasonable period of time in which to cure the default. Mortgagee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite all cures set forth in this paragraph.

 

7.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

a.                                      Notices. Any notice or request given or demand made under this Agreement by one party to the other shall be in writing, and may be given or be served by hand delivered personal service, or by depositing the same with a reliable overnight courier service or by deposit in the United States mail, postpaid, registered or certified mail, and addressed to the party to be notified, with return receipt requested or by telefax transmission, with the original machine- generated transmit confirmation report as evidence of transmission.
