THIS BUSINESS PARK LEASE is made and entered into between Landlord and Tenant on the Date of Lease set forth in Section 1.1. The defined terms used in this Lease (“Lease Terms”) shall have the meanings and definitions given them in Section 1. The Lease Terms, the Exhibits, the Addendum or Addenda described in the Lease Terms, and this Lease agreement are and shall be construed as a single instrument and are hereinafter referred to as the “Lease.”
Now, therefore, for valuable consideration, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree as follows:
SECTION 2. LEASE OF PREMISES.
2.1 Lease. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term herein set forth.
2.2 Delivery of Possession; Commencement; Expiration. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in good condition and repair with all improvements substantially completed in accordance with Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The existence of any “punch list” type items shall not postpone the Lease Commencement Date. If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Lease Commencement Date, the Term shall not commence and Tenant shall owe no Rent until the later of: (a) the date Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant or (b) the Rent Commencement Date. If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant within ninety (90) days of the Lease Commencement Date, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days of the expiration of said ninety (90)-day period. If there is any delay in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant, the Term of this Lease shall be extended by the number of days of such delay. If possession of the Premises is delivered prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Premises subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease other than the payment of Rent, which obligation shall not commence until the Rent Commencement Date. By acceptance of possession of the Premises hereunder, but subject to the completion of all improvements to be performed by Landlord in accordance with Exhibit C hereto, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant accepts the Premises “AS-IS, WHERE IS” and as suitable for Tenant’s intended use, in good and sanitary operating order, condition and repair, and without representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition, use or occupancy which may be made thereof and that the area of the Premises is as set forth in Section 1.6 above. The Expiration Date of this Lease shall be the date stated in Section 1.12 above.
SECTION 3. RENT PAYMENT.
3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent for the Premises without demand, deduction or offset. The term “Rent” as used in this Lease shall include Base Rent and Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined). Rent is payable by Tenant in advance on the first day of each month commencing on the Rent Commencement Date. Rent for any partial calendar month shall be prorated based on a thirty (30)-day month for the number of days during that partial month the Premises are occupied by Tenant.
3.2 Additional Rent. The term “Additional Rent” means amounts set forth under Section 5 and any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.
3.3 Lease Year. The term “Lease Year” shall mean each calendar year of the Term. In the event the Lease Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs on any date other than the first day of the calendar year, the calculations, costs and payments referred to herein shall be prorated for such calendar year. Late Charge; Interest.
3 of 19 | |
Rent not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of: (a) the rate of one and one-half percent (1 ½ %) per month; or (b) the maximum rate of interest then permitted by law. Landlord may, for each payment of Rent made more than ten (10) days late, impose a late charge of the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of Rent then due or (ii) $50 for each late payment of Rent (the“Late Charge”). Tenant agrees that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, that the exact amount of such costs are extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and that the Late Charge is not a penalty but represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment. The imposition or collection or failure to impose or collect such a Late Charge shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any other remedies available for Tenant’s default of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Landlord an additional charge of $75 for any checks returned due to insufficient funds.
3.4 Disputes. If Tenant disputes any charge for Additional Rent or any Rent adjustment, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from Landlord describing the charge or adjustment in question. If Tenant fails to give such notice to Landlord, the charge or adjustment by Landlord shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. If Tenant delivers timely notice, the challenged charge or adjustment shall be conclusively resolved by an independent certified public accountant selected by the parties. Each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the fee charged by the accountant selected to decide the matter, except that if the adjustment in favor of Tenant does not exceed five percent (5%) of the challenged amounts, Tenant shall pay:(a) the entire cost of the accountant’s fee; and (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in responding to the challenge. In the alternative, if the adjustment in favor of Tenant is equal to or exceeds five percent (5%) of the challenged amounts, Landlord shall pay: (i) the entire cost of the accountant’s fee; and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in challenging such charge or adjustment. Nothing herein shall be deemed to alter any other obligations of Tenant as required by this Lease.
3.5 Prepaid Rent. Concurrently with the mutual execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the Initial Base Rent for the first full month of the Term for which Rent is payable.
3.6 Security Deposit. Concurrently with the mutual execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit. Following written notice to Tenant, Landlord may apply the Security Deposit to pay the cost of performing any obligation which Tenant fails to perform within the time required by this Lease, but such application by Landlord shall not waive Landlord’s other remedies nor be the exclusive remedy for any Tenant default. If Landlord applies the Security Deposit as set forth herein, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, all sums necessary to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Tenant shall not have the right to apply the Security Deposit or any part thereof to any Rent or other sums due under this Lease. If Tenant is not in default of this Lease at the expiration or termination hereof, Landlord shall return the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant, except for any amount necessary to return the Premises to the condition set forth in Section 19. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s general funds. Landlord may immediately deposit the Security Deposit into Landlord’s account, but such immediate deposit shall not bind Landlord to the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall not be obligated to pay interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord sells its interest in the Premises during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability or responsibility with respect to the Security Deposit so long as Landlord deposits with or credits to the buyer the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit.
SECTION 4. USE OF PREMISES.
4.1 Permitted Use. Tenant may use the Premises for Tenant’s Permitted Use and for no other purpose without Landlord’s written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall not use the Premises in a manner that obstructs, annoys or interferes with the rights of other occupants of the Building or Project. Tenant shall not cause any nuisance nor permit any objectionable fumes, mold, electromagnetic waves, vibration, noise that is not reasonable for an industrial premises, light, or radiation to be emitted from the Premises. Tenant shall not engage in any activities that will in any manner degrade or damage the reputation of the Premises or increase Landlord’s insurance rates for any portion of the Premises.
4 of 19 | |
4.2 Equipment. Tenant shall only install such equipment in the Premises as is customary for the Permitted Use and shall not overload the floors or electrical circuits of the Premises or change the wiring or plumbing of the Premises. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent to the location of and manner of installing any plumbing, wiring or electrical, heating, heat-generating or communication equipment or unusually heavy articles. Any equipment, cables, wiring, conduit, additional dedicated circuits and any additional air conditioning required because of any such equipment installed by Tenant shall be installed, maintained and operated at Tenant’s sole expense and in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable requirements. Tenant shall not install any equipment outside the Premises, including, without limitation, on the roof of the Building, without first having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord.
4.3 Compliance with Laws. Landlord warrants that, as of the Lease Commencement Date, the Premises complies with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any public authority (the “Laws”). As of the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall at its expense promptly comply and cause the Premises to comply with all Laws applicable to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises (as opposed to those Laws generally applicable to commercial uses of real property for which the Project is zoned).
4.4 Rules and Regulations. Landlord may make, and Tenant shall comply, with all rules and regulations of the Building and the Project (the “Rules”) as Landlord may revise and enforce the Rules from time to time in Landlord’s sole discretion. The Rules are in addition to and shall not be construed to modify or amend this Lease in any way. The Rules as of the date of this Lease are set forth in Exhibit D and are incorporated herein by reference.
4.5 Parking. Landlord grants Tenant and Tenant’s customers, suppliers, employees and invitees, a non-exclusive license to use the parking areas designated on the Project Site Plan, if any, for the parking of employee motor vehicles and company fleet delivery vehicles during the Term of this Lease. At no time shall Tenant and its agents and visitors use more than the maximum number of parking spaces shown in Section 1.10 above. Landlord reserves the right at any time to grant similar non-exclusive rights to other tenants to use the parking areas, to promulgate rules and regulations relating to the use of such parking areas, including reasonable restrictions on parking by tenants and employees, to make changes in the parking layout from time to time, and to establish reasonable time limits on parking..
SECTION 5. OPERATING EXPENSES AND TAXES
5.1 Operating Expenses.

5 of 19 | |
5.2 Taxes. The term “Taxes” shall include: (a) all real and personal property taxes, charges, rates, duties and assessments (including local improvement district assessments) levied or imposed by any governmental authority with respect to the Project or any portion thereof, and any improvements, fixtures and equipment located therein or thereon, and with respect to all other property of Landlord, real or personal, located in or on the Project or any portion thereof, and used in connection with the operation of the Project or any portion thereof; (b) any tax in lieu of or in addition to, or substitution of a real property tax; and (c) any tax or excise levied or assessed by any governmental authority on the Rent payable under this Lease or Rent accruing from the use of the Project or any portion thereof, provided that this shall not include federal or state, corporate or personal income taxes. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes, then Landlord shall credit such refund, net of any professional fees and costs incurred by Landlord to obtain the same, against the Taxes for the Lease Year to which the refund is applicable or the current Lease Year, at Landlord’s option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, licenses, fees and charges assessed, imposed or levied on: (i) Tenant’s business operations; (ii) all trade fixtures; (iii) leasehold improvements; (iv) merchandise; and (v) other personal property in or about the Premises.
5.3 Written Statement of Estimate. Prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement setting forth Landlord’s estimate of the cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof for the first Lease Year. Thereafter, prior to the commencement of each Lease Year after the first Lease Year or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible (but in no event later than 90 days after the commencement of the Lease Year), Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement setting forth the estimated cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof for the next Lease Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, and thereafter on the first day of each calendar month, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes, as shown in Landlord’s written statement for that Lease Year. In the event Landlord fails to deliver said written estimate, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the immediately preceding Lease Year until Landlord does furnish the written estimate. Upon receipt of such written estimate, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to the difference between Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the expired portion of the current Lease Year and Tenant’s actual payments during such time, and any payments by Tenant in excess of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated cost of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Insurance shall be credited to the next due payment of Rent from Tenant. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to adjust the estimated cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes, and Tenant shall commence payment of one- twelfth (1/12th) of such revised estimate on the first (1st) day of the month following receipt of the revised estimate.
6 of 19 | |
5.4 Final Written Statement. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each Lease Year during the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement (the “Operating Statement”) setting forth Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Project for the preceding Lease Year for each such item. In the event Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the preceding Lease Year is greater than the amount paid by Tenant for such Operating Expenses and Taxes, Tenant shall pay the amount due to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of such statement. In the event Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual cost of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the preceding Lease Year is less than the amount paid by Tenant for such Operating Expenses and Taxes, then Landlord shall, at Landlord’s election, either: (a) pay the amount of Tenant’s overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the date of such statement; or (b) apply such overpayment to Tenant’s next Rent payment, reimbursing only the excess over such next Rent payment, if any. If a Lease Year ends after the expiration or termination of this Lease, any Additional Rent in respect thereof that is payable under this Section shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days of its receipt of the Operating Statement for such Lease Year, and any Additional Rent paid by Tenant in excess of the amount due under this Lease for the portion of the Lease Year after expiration or termination of this Lease shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) days of the expiration of that Lease Year. The late delivery of any written statement by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes, but Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver such written statements as soon as reasonably possible after the commencement of each Lease Year.
5.5 Tenant Examination. The Operating Statement shall contain sufficient detail to enable Tenant to verify the calculation of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Premises. In addition, Tenant, upon at least five (5) days advance written notice to Landlord and during business hours, may examine any records used to support the figures shown on the Operating Statement, provided however, that Tenant shall only be entitled to make such an examination once in each Lease Year for the immediately preceding calendar year, which request must be delivered within ninety (90) days after the date Landlord’s annual Operating Statement is delivered to Tenant (and if Tenant fails to object in writing to specific Operating Expenses and Taxes within such 90-day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the same and to have waived the right to object to such calculations). Such Tenant examination shall not be conducted by anyone who is engaged on a contingent fee basis to represent Tenant. If a Tenant examination discloses that Tenant has overpaid Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall give Tenant credit against the next payment(s) of Operating Expenses due in such amount, or if the Lease is at the end of the Term, refund such amount to Tenant. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of the examination unless the examination discloses that Landlord has overcharged Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay the costs and expenses of the examination. Tenant hereby agrees to: (a) keep the results of any such audit confidential, except that Tenant may disclose such information to its accountants, legal advisors or as otherwise required by law; and (b) require Tenant’s auditor and its employees and each of their respective attorneys and advisors likewise to keep the results of such audit confidential.
5.6 Tenant’s Proportionate Share. The area of the Premises provided for in Section 1.6, above, is deemed accurate, and Tenant shall not be authorized to cause any re-measurement of such area. With respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes that Landlord allocates to the Building, Tenant’s Proportionate Share (Building) shall be the percentage set forth in Section 1.7, as adjusted by Landlord from time to time resulting from a re- measurement of or changes in the physical size of the Building, whether such changes in size are due to an addition to or a sale or conveyance of a portion of the Building or otherwise. With respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes which Landlord allocates to the Project or any portion thereof, Tenant’s Proportionate Share (Project) shall be with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes that Landlord allocates to the Project or any portion thereof, the percentage set forth in Section 1.8 and as adjusted by Landlord from time to time resulting from a re-measurement of or changes in the physical size of the Project, whether such changes in size are due to an addition to or a sale or conveyance of a portion of the Project or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may equitablyadjust Tenant’s Proportionate Share for all or part of any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to an operation, maintenance, repair, management or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Building and/or the Project or that varies with the occupancy with the Building and/or the Project.

Except in the event of an emergency, Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or later in effect that would otherwise give Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense and deduct that cost from Rent owing to Landlord.
6.2 Tenant’s Repairs. Except as set forth in Section 6.1 above, Tenant shall:
(a) Maintain all portions of the Premises and fixturessituated within the Premises in good

(d) Not commit waste to the Premises, Building, Common Area or Project or any part thereof.
6.3 Liability. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to maintain and repair the Premises as required under Section 6.1 unless Tenant delivers written notice of such failure to Landlord and Landlord fails to perform such maintenance or repair in a commercially reasonable time and manner. Landlord may erect scaffolding and other apparatus necessary to make repairs or alterations to the Premises. So long as Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any interruption or reduction of services or interference with Tenant’s occupancy because of repairs or maintenance performed by Landlord to the Premises.
SECTION 7. ALTERATIONS.
Without first having obtained Landlord’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises: (a) for which any governmental permit is required; or (b) that modify any structural, mechanical, electrical, roofing, or plumbing component of the Building; or (c) that cost more than $10,000.

Unless caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, interruption of any service or utility shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any interruption of service or utility and if Landlord fails to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts Tenant shall have those rights specified in Section 14.4 of this Lease. Tenant shall install surge protection systems for power provided to the Premises, and Tenant releases Landlord from all liability for any damage caused by any electrical surge.

(c) Workers’ compensation insurance and other forms of insurance as may from time to time be required by law or may otherwise be necessary to protect Landlord and the Premises from claims of any person who may at any time work on the Premises, whether as a servant, agent, or employee of Tenant or otherwise. Further, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Tenant’s agents, contractors, or subcontractors to keep and maintain the insurance contemplated in this Section 10.1(c).
All insurance and endorsements contemplated under this Section 10.1 shall: (i) be issued by insurance companies licensed and admitted to issue policies in the State of Oregon; (ii) unless otherwise approved by Landlord in writing, be issued by insurance companies having a financial rating of “B+” or better under the A.M. Best financial rating scheme; (iii) contain a provision that the insurance be primary and non-contributing with any other insurance available to Landlord; and (iv) not include any self-insured retention. Within five (5) days of the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate evidencing such insurance that shall require no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord prior to any cancellation or material change. No later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any policy, Tenant shall deliver a renewal certificate to Landlord for such insurance policy. If Tenant fails to obtain and maintain insurance as required under this Section 10.1, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance for Landlord’s own benefit and not for or on behalf of Tenant, and in such event, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, upon demand, the premium for such insurance.
10.2 Landlord’s Insurance. During the Term, Landlord shall maintain in full force and effect a policy or policies of insurance covering the Building, which shall provide coverage against such risks as are commonly covered under a “causes of loss-special form” or “all risk” property insurance policy (including, in Landlord’s sole discretion, earthquake and/or flood coverage), together with loss of rents and secondary liability insurance and other insurance as Landlord deems reasonably necessary. Such insurance shall contain such policy limits and deductibles, shall be obtained through such insurance company or companies, and shall be in such form as Landlord deems appropriate, and shall provide coverage for one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value of the Building. All insurance proceeds payable under Landlord’s casualty insurance carried hereunder shall be payable solely to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no interest therein. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a billing therefor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share (Building) of all amounts paid by Landlord as set forth in this Section 10.2.
10.3. Tenant’s Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and its managing agents and employees from any claim, liability, damage, or loss, or any cost or expense in connection therewith (including reasonable attorney fees), arising out of: (a) any damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, and the Project as the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents or invitees; and/or (b) Tenant’s material breach or violation of any term of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

10.4 Landlord’s Indemnity. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tenant from any claim, liability, damage, or loss, or any cost or expense in connection therewith (including reasonable attorney fees), arising out of: (a) any damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas and the Project as the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, contractors, agents or invitees; and/or (b) Landlord’s material breach or violation of any term of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.
SECTION 11. FIRE OR CASUALTY.
11.1 Major Damage.
(a) Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Tenant within thirty (30) days after damage to the Building by fire or other casualty: (i) which causes any substantial portion of the Building to be unusable; (ii) the repair of which will cost more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement value of the Building; or (iii) which is not required under this Lease to be covered by insurance.
(b) Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Landlord within thirty (30) days after damage to the Premises by fire or other casualty, which causes any substantial portion of the Premises to be unusable.
(c) If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease after any fire or other casualty referenced in Sections 11.1(a) or (b), or if damage occurs to the Building which is not referenced in Sections 11.1(a) or (b), Landlord shall promptly restore the Building to the condition existing immediately prior to such damage, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of any damage to the Building by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly repair and restore all tenant improvements or alterations installed or paid for by Tenant or pay the cost of such restoration to Landlord if Landlord performs such restoration. In the event the Building is damaged by any casualty, Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the unusable portion of the Building from the date of damage until the date restoration work to the Building is substantially complete. Disputes between Tenant and Landlord under this Section 11.1 shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section 21 below.
11.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby releases and waives any and all rights to recover from or proceed against the other party and its employees, agents and contractors, for loss or damage to any property of the releasing party or any person claiming through the releasing party arising from any cause required to be insured against by the releasing party under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each cause their insurance policies to contain a waiver of subrogation provision consistent with the foregoing.
SECTION 12. EMINENT DOMAIN.
If any portion of the Building or a substantial portion of the Premises shall be permanently taken under any right of eminent domain, or any transfer in lieu thereof (the “Taking”) and such Taking renders the Premises in the reasonable opinion of Tenant or Landlord unsuitable for Tenant’s use, then either party may terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party, and such termination shall be effective on the date possession of the Building, Premises or portion of either is delivered to the condemning authority. Disputes between Tenant and Landlord under this Section 12 shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section 21 below. If this Lease is not so terminated, Landlord shall repair and restore the Premises as close as practicable to its condition prior to the Taking, and this Lease shall continue, but, commencing with the date on which Tenant is deprived of the use of any portion of the Premises or of any rights under this Lease, Base Rent shall be proportionately abated or reduced, based on the extent to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired. Any and all awards payable by the condemning authority in connection with a Taking shall be the sole property of Landlord; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Tenant from prosecuting a separate claim against the condemning authority for Tenant’s damages arising out of the Taking, so long as that award does not diminish the award that Landlord would otherwise be entitled to as a result of the Taking.

SECTION 13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest under this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without having first provided thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord and thereafter obtained Landlord’s written consent. Tenant shall deliver written notice of Tenant’s desire to assign or sublet all or any portion of the Premises and such notice shall include a recent signed and certified financial statement (audited, if available) and a statement of the intended use for such proposed assignee or subtenant. So long as any proposed subtenant or assignee is compatible with Landlord’s reasonable credit and use standards for the Premises, Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required if such assignment or subletting is in connection with an entity that is an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant or with a merger or change in control of Tenant. No assignment shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent or perform other obligations required by this Lease during the Initial Term (and any renewal periods), and no consent to one assignment or subletting shall be a consent to any further assignment or subletting. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs incurred in connection with a proposed assignment or subletting, including reasonable attorney fees in an amount not to exceed $1,500. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment, and any consideration is paid to the assigning Tenant, the assigning Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord one-half (1/2) of any net consideration resulting from such transaction received by Tenant. If Landlord consents to a proposed sublease, and the rent under such sublease arrangement (the “Sub-Rent”) is greater than the Rent under this Lease, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord one-half of the difference between the Sub-Rent and the Rent.
SECTION 14. DEFAULT.
14.1 Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an “Event of Default” by Tenant under this
Lease:
14.1.1 Failure by Tenant to pay Rent or any other charge due under this Lease within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord that the same is then due, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to provide such written notice more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period.
14.1.2 Other than as set forth in Section 14.1.1 and Sections 14.1.3 through 14.1.6 below, failure by Tenant to comply with any other obligation of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 6.2, within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord specifying the failure (except in the case of emergency, in which event Landlord shall only be required to give such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances); provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default requires more than ten (10) days to correct, Tenant shall not be deemed in default of this Lease so long as Tenant commences the cure of such failure within such ten (10)-day period and thereafter, proceeds in good faith and with all diligence to complete such cure as soon as possible but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord’s notice of default. Subject to this Section 14.1.2, if Tenant fails to perform Tenant’s obligations under Section 6.2, Landlord may enter upon the Premises, perform the obligations on Tenant’s behalf, and recover the cost of performance, together with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year, as Additional Rent payable by Tenant with the next installment of Rent, provided, that such rate shall not exceed the maximum rate then allowed by law.
14.1.3 Tenant fails to occupy the Premises within twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord.

14.1.4 Assignment or subletting by Tenant in violation of Section 13.
14.1.5 Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver to Landlord the documentsdescribed in Sections 18 or 23 within ten (10) days of written notice from Landlord.
14.1.6 Tenant’s insolvency, business failure or assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Tenant’s commencement of proceedings under any provision of any bankruptcy or insolvency law or failure to obtain dismissal of any petition filed against it under such laws within the time required to answer; or the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of Tenant’s properties or financial records.
14.2 Remedies for Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 14.1, Landlord may exercise the following remedies as well as any other remedies at law or in equity, by statute or as set forth in this Lease:
14.2.1 Landlord may terminate this Lease, reserving all rights to damages resulting from Tenant’s breach. Whether or not Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may retake possession of the Premises and any relet or use of the Premises by Landlord shall not be deemed a surrender or waiver of Landlord’s right to damages. If Landlord retakes possession of the Premises, Landlord’s mitigation efforts shall be deemed sufficient if Landlord follows commercially reasonable procedures and otherwise complies with Law.
14.2.2 Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages caused by Tenant’s default, including, but not limited to, an amount equal to all unpaid and future Rent, lease commissions incurred for this Lease, and the unamortized cost of all improvements to the Premises installed or paid for by Landlord. Landlord may periodically sue Tenant to recover damages as they accrue, and no action therefor shall bar a later action for damages accruing thereafter. Landlord may elect in any one action to recover both accrued damages as well as damages attributable to the remaining Term of the Lease. Any damages attributable to the remaining Term of the Lease shall be equal to the difference between the Rent under this Lease and fair market rental value of the Premises (including Additional Rent) for the remainder of the Term, discounted at the prevailing interest rate on judgments to the date of the judgment.
14.3 Landlord’s Right To Cure Default. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any payment or perform any obligation under this Lease that Tenant has failed to perform, as and when required hereunder, following advance written notice to Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all expenditures and costs incurred by Landlord in performing any obligation of Tenant, upon demand, with interest thereon at the rate of one and one half percent per month (1 ½%), but in no event at a rate in excess of that allowed by Law. Landlord’s right to cure any Tenant default is for the sole protection of Landlord and in no event shall Tenant be released from any obligation to perform Tenant’s obligations and covenants under this Lease. The contents of this Section shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any other right that Landlord may have arising from any default of this Lease by Tenant, whether or not Landlord exercises its rights under this Section.
14.4 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default of the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord fails to perform such obligation within twenty (20) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged default; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s alleged default is such that more than twenty (20) days are required for its cure, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord shall commence such performance within such twenty (20)-day period and thereafter proceeds in good faith and with diligence to complete such cure as soon as possible, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant’s notice of default. If Landlord fails to timely cure any default under this Lease, Tenant shall have such rights and remedies provided at law and in equity.

Except in case of emergency, all entry to the Premises shall be at times and in a manner so as to minimize interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
SECTION 17. CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD
If the Premises is sold or otherwise conveyed by Landlord or any successor, so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord shall cause such successor to recognize Tenant’s rights hereunder, and Tenant shall attorn to the buyer or transferee and recognize that party as the landlord under this Lease. If the buyer or transferee assumes all obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing thereafter, Landlord shall be deemed released of all further liability to Tenant under this Lease.
SECTION 18. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT ANDNON-DISTURBANCE.
Without the need for further documentation, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any existing deeds of trust, mortgages, ground lease, master lease or land sale contracts and any amendment or modification thereof, now existing or hereafter recorded against the Premises (collectively, the “Encumbrances”). Tenant shall execute all documents reasonably requested by Landlord or the holder of an Encumbrance to confirm such subordination; provided, however, that this Lease shall only be subordinate to any future Encumbrance, or modification thereof, if the holder of that Encumbrance executes a non-disturbance agreement reasonably satisfactory to Tenant by which the holder of such Encumbrance recognizes Tenant’s rights under this Lease unless Tenant is in default beyond any applicable cure period. If any Encumbrance is foreclosed, Tenant shall attorn to such buyer, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
SECTION 19. SURRENDER; HOLDOVER.
19.1 Surrender. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises and the Building swept and free of debris, with carpeted areas vacuumed and in good and serviceable condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear. Tenant shall remove all of its personal property and, if requested by Landlord in accordance with Section 7 above, any conduits, wiring, cables or alterations installed by Tenant, and in any case, shall repair all damage to the Premises and the Building resulting from that removal. If Tenant fails to remove any such personal property or alterations, those items shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord may remove or dispose of such items without liability to Tenant or others, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such removal upon demand.

For purposes of the preceding subjections (a) and (b), such tenancy shall be subject to all terms of this Lease, except that Rent shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the total Rent for the last month being charged and all options or other rights regarding extension of the Term or expansion of the Premises shall automatically terminate.
SECTION 20. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
20.1 Generally. Neither Tenant nor Tenant’s agents or employees shall cause or permit any Hazardous Material, as hereinafter defined, to be brought upon, stored, used, generated, released into the environment, or disposed of on, in, under, or about the Premises or Building, except reasonable quantities of cleaning supplies and office supplies necessary to or required as part of Tenant’s business that are generated, used, kept, stored, or disposed of in a manner that complies with all laws regulating any such Hazardous Materials and with good business practices. Tenant covenants to remove from the Premises and the Building, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any and all Hazardous Materials brought upon, stored, used, generated, or released into the environment by Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees during the Term of this Lease.

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any release of Hazardous Materials in, on, or about the Premises or the Building that Tenant, or Tenant’s agents or employees, becomes aware of during the Term of this Lease, whether caused by Tenant, Tenant’s agents or employees, or any other persons or entities.
