1.           Subject and upon the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, and each in consideration of the duties, covenants and obligations of the other hereunder.  Landlord does hereby lease, demise and let to Tenant and Tenant does hereby lease, demise and let from Landlord those certain premises (hereinafter sometimes called the "Premises" or "Demised Premises") in the building known as PERC ENTERPRISES:72ND WAREHOUSES (hereinafter called the "Building") located at  2131 NW 72nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33122 containing approximately 39,516 square feet of Net Rentable Area (hereinafter defined) of the Building constituting a proportionate share of 50% of the Building.  The amount of Net Rentable Area, as provided herein, is stipulated and agreed to by Landlord and Tenant and is reflected on the attached Exhibit A: Site Plan-Landlord Work.







The term "Net Rentable Area", as used herein shall refer to (i) in the case of a single tenancy floor, all space measured from the inside surface of the outer glass of the Building to the inside surface of the opposite outer wall, excluding only the areas ("Service Areas") within the outside walls used for building stairs, fire towers, elevator shafts, flues, vents, pipe shafts and vertical ducts, but including any such areas which are for the specific use of the particular tenants such as special stairs or elevators, and (ii) in the case of a multi-tenancy floor, all space within the inside surface of the outer glass enclosing the tenant occupied portion of the floor and measured to the midpoint of the walls separating the areas leased by or held for lease to other tenants or for areas devoted to corridors, elevator foyers, rest rooms and other similar facilities for the use of all tenants on the particular floor (herein called "Common Areas"), but including a proportionate part of the Common Areas located on such floor.







           No reductions from Net Rentable Areas are made for columns necessary to the Building.  The Net Rentable Areas in the Demised Premises and in the Building have been calculated on the basis of the foregoing definition and are hereby stipulated above as to the Demised Premises, whether the same should be more or less as a result of minor variations resulting from actual construction and completion of the Demised Premises, for occupancy so long as such work is done substantially in accordance with the approved plans.







TERM







2.           This Lease shall be for the term of Ten (10) Years commencing upon the earlier to occur of (i) occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or (ii) substantial completion of Landlord’s improvements as provided for on the attached Exhibit A: Site Plan – Landlord Work and ending Ten (10) Years thereafter, (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Lease Term" or "Term") unless sooner terminated or extended as provided herein.







           If the Landlord is unable to give possession of the Demised Premises on the date of the commencement of the aforesaid Lease Term by reason of the holding over of any prior tenant or tenants or any other reasons, an abatement or diminution of the rent to be paid hereunder shall be allowed Tenant under such circumstances until possession is given to Tenant, but nothing herein shall operate to extend the initial Term of the lease beyond the agreed expiration date, and said abatement in rent shall be the full extent of Landlord's liability to Tenant for any loss or damage to Tenant on account of said delay in obtaining possession of the Premises.  There shall be no delay in the commencement of the term of this Lease and/or payment of rent when Tenant fails to occupy premises when same are ready for occupancy, or when Landlord shall be delayed in substantially completing such Demised Premises as a result of:







(a)  Tenant's failure to promptly furnish working drawings and plans as required or


(b)  Tenant's failure to approve cost estimates within one (1) week or


(c)  Tenant's failure to promptly select materials, finishes, or installation or


(d) Tenant's changes in plans (notwithstanding Landlord's approval of any such changes), or


(e) Any other act of omission by Tenant or its Agents, or failure to promptly make other decisions, necessary to the preparation of the Demised Premises for occupancy.

The commencement of the Term and the payment of rent shall not be affected, delayed or deferred on account of any of the foregoing.  For the purpose of this paragraph, the Demised Premises shall be deemed substantially completed and ready for occupancy by Tenant when Landlord's Supervising Architect certifies that the work required of Landlord, if any, has been substantially completed in accordance with said approved plans and specifications.







Taking possession of the Demised Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that the Demised Premises were in good and satisfactory condition when possession was taken.







If Tenant, with Landlord's consent, shall occupy the Demised Premises prior to the beginning of the Lease Term as specified herein above, all provisions of this Lease shall be in full force and effect commencing upon such occupancy, and Tenant shall pay rent for such period at the same rate herein specified.

REAL ESTATE TAXES







10.           (a) Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its proportionate share of any and all increases in Real Estate Taxes (as defined below) relating to the Premises that exceed the Real Estate Taxes paid during the base year of 2013 (the "Base Year”), within twenty (20) days’ written demand therefor, or the Landlord shall be entitled at any time or times in any calendar year, upon at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to the Tenant to require the Tenant to pay to the Landlord the estimated increase in said Real Estate Taxes (over the Base Year) for such calendar year in equal monthly installments.  Estimated Real Estate Taxes for 2013 are $1.13 per square foot of Net Rentable Area of the Demised Premises.   Such monthly amount shall be determined by dividing the estimated increase in the Real Estate Taxes (over the Base Year) by the number of months for the period from January 1st in each calendar year of the Term until the due date of the final installment of Real Estate Taxes as established by the applicable taxing authority from time to time in each calendar year (“Installment Period”) and shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord, monthly as Additional Rent, on the date of payment of monthly rental payments during the Installment Period.  All amounts received under this provision in any calendar year on account of the estimated amount of such Real Estate Taxes shall be applied by the Landlord in payment of the actual amount of such increase in Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year (over the Base Year) .  If the amount received is less than the actual Real Estate Taxes, the Tenant shall pay any deficiency to the Landlord as Additional Rent within twenty (20) days following receipt by the Tenant of notice of the amount of such deficiency.  If the amount received is greater than the actual increase in Real Estate Taxes (over the Base Year), the Landlord shall either refund the excess to the Tenant as soon as possible after the end of the calendar year in respect of which such payments were made or, at the Landlord’s option, shall apply such excess against any amounts owing or becoming due to the Landlord by the Tenant.


 


         (b) The term "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean all general and special taxes and assessments (including special improvement assessments) whether ad valorem or non ad valorem, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or ordinary or extraordinary, levied, assessed or imposed at any time by any governmental body or authority upon or against the Premises and this Lease.  "Real Estate Taxes" shall not include any of Landlord's franchise, business privilege, payroll, or federal or state income tax or any estate or inheritance taxes, gross receipts tax, capital stock or franchise tax, or value added tax.  Tenant shall only be responsible for Real Estate Taxes imposed for tax years (or the pro rata portion thereof for partial tax years) during the Term of this Lease and any Option Periods, and hold-over periods hereof.  A "tax year" shall be deemed to be a calendar year, notwithstanding the assessment or collection thereof on a different basis by any taxing authority.  Tenant shall not be responsible for any penalties incurred or increased payments required as a result of Landlord’s failure, inability or unwillingness to make payments and/or to file any tax or informational returns prior to delinquency.






  





-5-











  








(c)  Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, contest any assessment or levy of Real Estate Taxes, provided that Tenant either pays such Real Estate Taxes under protest or deposits with Landlord, prior to the date on which the Real Estate Taxes are due and payable, an amount which is necessary to pay the total amount of such Real Estate Taxes, together with all penalties and interest, in the event that such contest is unsuccessful.  To the extent necessary therefor, Landlord (at Tenant's expense) will consent to execute such documents and participate in such proceedings as may be reasonably necessary.  If Landlord also elects to contest Real Estate Taxes, the parties shall cooperate in order to coordinate such contest of Real Estate Taxes.  At the conclusion of any such contest, Tenant shall pay the charge contested to the extent it is held valid, together with all court costs, interest, penalties and other expenses relating thereto and will indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any costs, expenses and damages incurred in connection with such proceedings, including reasonable attorneys' fees.  Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed as to allow such items to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit the Premises (or any part thereof) to be sold by governmental, city or municipal authorities for the non-payment of the same.  Despite contesting Real Estate Taxes, Tenant shall be responsible for all other charges and payments due under this Lease.







(d)  Landlord (at Tenant's expense) will cooperate with Tenant, execute such documents and participate in such proceedings as may be reasonably necessary for Tenant to qualify for and obtain any available abatements of Real Estate Taxes, or other municipal inducements available to Tenant in connection with Tenant’s decision to locate its business in the Premises.







INSURANCE PREMIUMS







11.           If the Landlord's insurance premiums exceed the standard premium rates because the nature of Tenant's operation results in extra hazardous exposure, then the tenant shall, upon receipt of appropriate invoices from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for such increase in premiums.  It is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that such increase in premiums shall be considered as rent due and shall be included in any lien for rent.







Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its proportionate share of any and all increases in the premiums for the insurance policies maintained by Landlord under Section 50 herein (the “Insurance Costs”) that exceed the insurance premiums relating to the Premises during the Base Year of 2013 within twenty (20) days written demand therefore, or the Landlord shall be entitled at any time or times in any calendar year to cause Tenant to pay estimated increases monthly (to be reconciled annually based on actual Insurance Costs) in the same manner as for monthly payments of Real Estate Taxes as described above.  Estimated Insurance Premiums for 2013 are $0.19 per square foot of Net Rentable Area of the Demised Premises.







OPERATING EXPENSES







12.           Tenant shall pay to the Landlord its proportionate share of any and all increases in the operating expenses paid by Landlord (the “Operating Expenses”) that exceed the operating expenses during the Base Year of 2013 within twenty (20) days written demand therefore, or the Landlord shall be entitled at any time or times in any calendar year to cause Tenant to pay estimated increases monthly (to be reconciled annually based on actual Operating Expenses) in the same manner as for monthly payments of Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Costs as described above.  Operating Expenses shall include but not be limited to any and all other costs incurred by Landlord to operate the Building including, but not limited to, electric in the common areas, security, landscaping and general maintenance, administrative costs and fees and other routine maintenance required to maintain the Building.  Operating Expenses for 2013 are $2.11 per square foot of Net Rentable Area of the Demised Premises.  Notwithstanding anything  herein to the contrary, annual increases in Tenant’s proportionate share of Operating Expenses shall  not increase by more than six (6%) percent per year on a non-cumulative basis over the amount paid by Tenant in the previous calendar year during the Lease Term (i.e. for calendar year 2014 Tenant shall pay no more than $.13 per square foot of Net Rentable Area of the Demised Premises).  The foregoing limitation shall not apply to: (a) "non-controllable” costs such as insurance, real estate taxes, electric, water, garbage and any other utilities; or (b) maintenance items which are incurred less often than once per annum or that are necessitated by an force majeure event such as a tropical windstorm.

15.

Tenant shall during the Term of this Lease, keep in first-class order condition and repair the Premises and every part thereof, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical and lighting facilities and equipment within the Premises, and fixture, interior walls, ceilings, windows, skylights, entrances and vestibules located within the Premises.

The failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish, or the interruption or termination of the foregoing services, in whole or in part, resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement hereof.  Should any of the equipment or machinery used in the provision of such services for any cause cease to function properly, Tenant shall have no claim for offset or abatement of rent or damages on account of an interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.


 


(c) No electric current shall be used by Tenant except that furnished or approved by Landlord, nor shall electric cable or wire be brought into the Premises, except upon the written consent and approval of the Landlord.  Tenant shall use only machines and equipment that operate on the Building's standard electric circuits, but which in no event shall overload the Building's standard electric circuits from which the Tenant obtains electric current.  In the event Tenant's electric consumption is not separately metered, then any consumption of electric current in excess of that considered by Landlord to be used, normal and customary for all tenants in the Building, or which require special circuits or equipment (the installation of which shall be at Tenant's expense after approval in writing by the Landlord) ("Excess Use"), shall be paid for by the Tenant as additional rent, based upon Landlord's estimated cost of such excess electric current consumption.  Tenant shall pay for all separately metered utilities, including but not limited to light, power, telephone and other utilities and services specially or exclusively supplied and/or metered exclusively to the Premises or to Tenant, together with any local, state or federal taxes thereon.

Tenant will make no alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Demised Premises without the written consent of the Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but may be predicated upon but not limited to Tenant's use of contractors who are acceptable to Landlord, and all additions, fixtures, carpet or improvements, except only office furniture and fixtures which shall be readily removable without injury to the Demised Premises, shall be and remain part of the Demised Premises at the expiration of this Lease.







           It is further agreed that this Lease is made by the Landlord and accepted by the Tenant with the distinct understanding and agreement that the Landlord shall have the right and privilege to make and build additions to the Building of which the Demised Premises are a part, and make such alterations and repairs to said Building as it may seem wise and advisable, without disturbing the Tenant’s right to Use and Quiet Enjoyment of the Demised Premises,  without any liability to the Tenant thereof.  Landlord, at all times, will indemnify and keep Tenant harmless for all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, which may arise or be claimed against Tenant or occasioned upon Tenant arising from any negligence, acts, omissions, neglect or fault of Landlord, his agents, servants, employees, licensees, visitors, customers, patrons or invitees, or consequent upon or arising from Landlord’s failure to comply with any laws, statutes, ordinances, codes or regulations as herein provided.







LIEN & INDEMNIFICATION







18.           Tenant further agrees that Tenant will pay all liens of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers, materialmen, and other items of like character, and will indemnify Landlord against all expenses, costs and charges, including bond premiums for release of liens and attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred in and about the defense of any suit discharging the said Premises or any part thereof from any liens, judgments, or encumbrances caused or suffered by Tenant.  In the event any such lien shall be made or filed, Tenant shall bond against or discharge the same within ten (10) days after the same has been made or filed.  It is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that the expenses, costs and charges above referred to shall be considered as rent due and shall be included in any lien for rent.







Neither Tenant nor anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant shall place any lien of any kind or character (including but not limited to mechanics, materialmen’s or laborers liens) or an encumbrance of any kind or character on the Demised Premises and notice is hereby given that no contractor, subcontractor or anyone else that may furnish any material, service or labor to the Demised Premises (including but not limited to all “lienors” as defined by Chapter 713 Florida Statutes, at any time, shall be, or become, entitled to any lien thereon whatsoever.  Tenant shall provide notice of this restriction in advance to any and all contractors, subcontractors, or other persons, firms or corporations that may furnish any such material, service or labor to the Demised Premises.  Landlord shall have the right to record a notice of the following provision in the public records of the county in which the Demised Premises is located, to wit:








  





-8-











  








"All persons to whom these presents may come are put upon notice of the fact that Tenant shall never, under any circumstances, have the power to subject the interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises or any portion of the Building to any mechanics' or materialmen's lien or liens of any kind.  All persons who may hereafter, during the continuance of this Lease, furnish work, labor, services or materials to the Demised Premises, or any portion of the Building upon the request or order of Tenant, or any person claiming under, by or through Tenant, must look wholly to the interest of Tenant and not to that of Landlord.







Tenant shall not permit or suffer to be filed or claimed against the Demised Premises or any portion of the Building during the continuance of this Lease any lien or liens of any kind arising out of the action of Tenant; and if any such lien be claimed or filed, Tenant covenants, within the time now about to be limited, to cause the Demised Premises and the Building to be released from such claim or lien ("Claim"), either through the deposit into court pursuant to statute of the necessary sums of money, or in any other way which is competent legally to effect the release ("Release") of the Demised Premises and the Building from the Claim.  The time within which Tenant must affect such Release of the Demised Premises and/or the Building, as aforesaid, is as follows:








	
  

	
(1)

	
If the Claim shall have been evidenced through the giving of a written notice of lien claim, and if such notice be filed amongst the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida, then Tenant shall affect such Release from such Claim within thirty (30) days after the time when such Claim shall have been filed amongst the Public Records.













	
  

	
(2)

	
If the Claim be evidenced, without notice having been given as aforesaid, through the filing of a suit in any court having jurisdiction of the subject matter, in which suit the Claim is asserted and sought to be enforced, then Tenant must effect the Release within ten (10) days after the time when service of process shall have been completed against Tenant or Landlord in the suit.












In the event that the Tenant shall violate the terms and provisions of this paragraph, such violations shall constitute an immediate Default under this Lease."







ESTOPPEL STATEMENT







19.           Tenant agrees that from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior request by Landlord, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Lease as modified is in full force and effect and stating the modifications); (b) the dates to which the rent and other charges have been paid; and (c) that Landlord is not in default under any provisions of this lease, or, if in default, the nature thereof in detail.







SUBORDINATION







20.           If the building and/or Demised Premises are at any time subject to a mortgage and/or deed of trust, and Tenant has received written notice from Mortgagee of same, then in any instance in which Tenant gives notice to Landlord alleging default by landlord hereunder, Tenant will also simultaneously give a copy of such notice to each Landlord's Mortgagee and each Landlord's Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure or remedy such default during the period that is permitted to Landlord hereunder, plus an additional period of thirty (30) days, and Tenant will accept such curative or remedial action (if any) taken by Landlord's Mortgagee with the same effect as if such action had been taken by Landlord.







           This Lease shall at Landlord's option, which option may be exercised at any time during the Lease Term, be subject and subordinate to any first mortgage now or hereafter encumbering the Building, but in no way shall this adversely affect or diminish Tenant’s right to Use and Quiet Enjoyment of the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease or any extensions thereof. This provision shall be self-operative without the execution of any further instruments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant hereby agrees to execute any instrument(s) which Landlord may deem desirable to evidence the subordination of this Lease to any and all such mortgages.

ATTORNMENT







21.           If the interest of Landlord under this Lease shall be transferred voluntarily or by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement on any first mortgage on the Demised Premises, Tenant shall be bound to such transferee (herein sometimes called the "Purchaser") for the balance of the Term remaining, and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effective in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof with the same force and effect as if the purchaser were the Landlord under this Lease, and Tenant does hereby agree to attorn to the Purchaser, including the Mortgagee if it be the Purchaser succeeding to the interest of the Landlord under this Lease.  The respective rights and obligations of Tenant and the Purchaser upon such attornment, to the extent of the then remaining balance of the Term of this Lease and any such extensions and renewals shall be and are the same as those set forth herein.  In the event of such transfer of Landlord's interest, Landlord shall be released and relieved from all liability and responsibility thereafter accruing to Tenant under Lease or otherwise and Landlord's successor by acceptance of rent from Tenant hereunder shall become liable and responsible to Tenant in respect to all obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.  Landlord, in the event this provision becomes effective, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and provide Tenant with a letter duly executed by the Landlord and acknowledged by Transferee providing that any rents or other monies paid in advance by Tenant to Landlord as well as the Security Deposit have been transferred to and are in the possession of Transferee thereby giving Tenant full credit for said monies.







ASSIGNMENT







22.           Without the written consent of the Landlord first obtained in each case, Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of this Lease or underlet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or permit the Demised Premises to be occupied by other persons.  In the case of a subletting, Landlord's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, may be predicated, among other things, upon Landlord becoming entitled to collect and retain all rentals payable under the sublease. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, the Landlord may, after default by the Tenant, collect or accept rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected or accepted to the rent herein reserved, but no such collection or acceptance shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of assignee, undertenant or occupant as Tenant, nor shall it be construed as or implied to be a release of the Tenant from the further observance and performance by the Tenant of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions herein contained.







The acceptance by Landlord of the payment of rent following any assignment or other transfer prohibited by this Paragraph shall not be deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any such assignment or other transfer nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.







If Landlord shall consent to any transfer or subletting to any party, Tenant shall in consideration therefore pay to Landlord as additional rent the Transfer Consideration.  For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Term Consideration” shall mean in any Lease Year: (i) any rents, additional charges or other consideration payable to Tenant by the transferee or sub-tenant of the transfer which is in excess of the Base Rental and additional Base Rental accruing during such Lease Year; and (ii) all sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property.  The Transfer Consideration shall be paid to Landlord as and when paid by the transferee or sub-tenant to Tenant.  Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s books and records upon reasonable notice to determine the amount of Transfer Consideration payable to Landlord.  In the event such audit reveals an understatement of Transfer Consideration in excess of 5% of the actual Transfer Consideration due Landlord, Tenant shall pay for the cost of such audit within ten days after Landlord’s written demand for same.







           In Lieu of consenting or not consenting, Landlord may, at its option, (i) in case of the proposed assignment or subletting of Tenant's entire leasehold interest, terminate this Lease in its entirety, or (ii) in the case of the proposed assignment or subletting of a portion of the Premises, terminate this Lease as to that portion of the Premises which Tenant has proposed to assign or sublet.  In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph, Tenant's obligations as to base Rental and Additional Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the net Rentable Area of the portion of the Premises taken by the proposed assignee or subtenant bears to the total Net Rentable Area of the Premises.








  





-10-











  








To review any proposed assignment Landlord will require sixty (60) days to review Tenant's submission of (i) the name of the entity receiving such transfer (the “Transferee”); (ii) a detailed description of the business of the Transferee, (iii) audited financial statements of the Transferee; (iv) all written agreements governing the transfer; and (v) any information reasonably requested by the Landlord with respect to the transfer or the Transferee; and (vi) a fee of  one thousand and No/100 dollars ($1,000.00) to compensate Landlord for legal fees, costs of administration, and other expenses incurred in connection with the review and processing of such documentation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent will not be deemed unreasonably withheld should Tenant request an assignment of this lease within the first eighteen (18) months of the initial lease term. If Tenant assigns this Lease more than once within twelve (12) months following the date of any previous assignment hereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee of five thousand and No/100 ($5,000.00).







SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS







23.           All terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions to be observed and performed by Tenant shall be applicable and binding upon Tenant's respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, subject, however, to the restrictions as to assignment or subletting by Tenant as provided herein.  All expressed covenants of this Lease shall be deemed to be covenants running with the land.







HOLD HARMLESS OF LANDLORD







24.           In consideration of said Premises being leased to Tenant for the above rental, Tenant agrees: that Tenant, at all times, will indemnify and keep Landlord harmless for all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, which may arise or be claimed against Landlord and be in favor of any persons, firms or corporations, consequent upon or arising from the use or occupancy of said Premises by Tenant or consequent upon or arising from any negligence, acts, omissions, neglect or fault of Tenant, his agents, servants, employees, licensees, visitors, customers, patrons or invitees, or consequent upon or arising from Tenant’s failure to comply with any laws, statutes, ordinances, codes or regulations as herein provided; that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages losses or injuries to the persons or property of Tenant which may be caused by the acts, neglect, omissions or faults of any persons, firms or corporations, except when such injury, loss or damage results from gross negligence or intentional acts or omissions of Landlord, his agents or employees, and that Tenant will indemnify and keep harmless Landlord from all damages, liabilities, losses, injuries, or expenses which may arise or be claimed against Landlord and be in favor of any persons, firms or corporations, where said injuries or damages arose about or upon said Premises, as a result of the negligence of Tenant, his agents, employees, servants, licensees, visitors, customers, patrons, and invitees.  All personal property placed or moved into the Demised Premises or Building shall be at the risk of Tenant or owner thereof, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage to said personal property.  Tenant shall maintain at all times during the Term of this Lease an insurance policy or policies in an amount of amounts sufficient in Landlord’s opinion, to indemnify Landlord or pay Landlord’s damages, if any, resulting from any matters set forth hereinbefore in this paragraph.







In case Landlord shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation and appeal thereof.







ATTORNEYS' FEES







25.           If either party defaults in the performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease and by reason thereof the other party employs the service of an attorney to enforce performance of the covenants, or to perform any service based upon defaults, then in any of said events the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all expenses and costs incurred by the prevailing party pertaining thereto (including costs and fees relating to any appeal) and in enforcement of any remedy.  Further, in the event Landlord is required to file an action for Tenant Removal (Eviction) because of a default by Tenant, and thereafter Landlord permits Tenant to cure such default and retain possession of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord and the costs of the Tenant Removal action.   In the event Landlord is required to file an action against Tenant to collect unpaid rent after a Tenant Removal action, Landlord may recover from Tenant, as Additional Rent, the attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord and the costs of the Tenant Removal action.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION







26.           In the event the Demised Premises shall be destroyed or so damaged or injured by fire or other casualty, during the Term of this Lease, whereby the same shall be rendered untenantable, then the Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to render such Demised Premises tenantable by repairs within 180 days therefrom.







           Landlord agrees that, within 60 days following damage or destruction, it shall notify Tenant with respect of whether or not the Landlord intends to restore the Premises.  If such Premises are not rendered tenantable within the aforesaid 180 days it shall be optional with either party hereto to cancel this Lease, and in the event of such cancellation the rent shall be paid only to the date of which the term is terminated.  The cancellation herein mentioned shall be evidenced in writing.  During any time that the Demised Premises are untenantable due to causes set forth in this paragraph, the rent, or a just and fair proportion thereof shall be abated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, should damage, destruction or injury occur by reason of Tenant's negligence, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to render the Demised Premises tenantable within 180days of the date of damage, destruction or injury and no abatement of rent shall occur.







Notwithstanding the foregoing, should damage or destruction occur during the last twelve months of the Lease Term either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease, effective on the date of damage or destruction, provided notice to terminate is given within 30 days of the date of such damage or destruction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the damage or destruction occur by reason of Tenant's negligence, Tenant shall not have such option to terminate.







EMINENT DOMAIN







27.           If there shall be taken during the Term of this Lease any part of the Demised Premises or Building other than a part not interfering with maintenance, operation or use of the Demised Premises, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease or to continue same in effect.  If Landlord elects to continue the Lease, the rental shall be reduced in proportion to the area of the Demised Premises so taken and Landlord shall repair any damage to the Demised Premises or Building resulting from such taking.  If any part of the Demised Premises is taken by condemnation or Eminent Domain which renders the Premises unsuitable for its intended use, this Lease shall continue in effect and the rental shall be reduced in proportion to the area of the Demised Premises so taken and Landlord shall repair any damages to the Demised Premises resulting from such taking.  If all of the Demised Premises is taken by condemnation or Eminent Domain this Lease shall terminate on the day of the taking.  All sums awarded (or agreed upon between landlord and the condemning authority) for the taking of the interest of Landlord and/or Tenant, whether as damages or as compensation, and whether for partial or total condemnation, will be the property of Landlord.  If the Lease shall be terminated under any provisions of this paragraph, rentals shall be payable up to the date of that possession is taken by the authority, and Landlord will refund to Tenant any prepaid unaccrued rent less any sum or amount then owing by Tenant to Landlord.  Tenant shall have the right, with the assistance of the Landlord, to pursue a claim against the condemning authority(ies) for its loss of business and any other compensable claim and any award shall be the sole property of the Tenant.







ABANDONMENT







28.           If during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall abandon, vacate or remove from the Demised Premises the major portion of the goods, wares, equipment or furnishings usually kept on said Demised Premises, or shall cease doing business in said Demised Premises, or shall suffer the rent to be in arrears.  Landlord may at its option, cancel the Lease in the manner stated in Paragraph 24 hereof, or Landlord may enter said Premises as the agent of Tenant by force or otherwise, without being liable in any way therefore and relet the Demised Premises with or without any furniture that may be therein, as the agent of Tenant, at such price and upon such terms and for such duration of time as Landlord may determine, and receive the rent therefor, applying the same to the payment of the rent due by these presents, and if the full rental herein provided shall not be realized by Landlord over and above the expenses to Landlord of such relating, Tenant shall pay any deficiency.

If the Term of this Lease shall be so terminated, Landlord may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter or repossess the Demised Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom without being liable for trespass or damages.







LIEN FOR PAYMENT OF RENT







30.           In addition to and independent of any lien in favor of Landlord arising by operation of law, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest, to secure payment of all Base Rent and other sums of money becoming due hereunder from Tenant, and to secure payment of any damages or loss which Landlord may suffer by reason of the breach by Tenant of any covenant, agreement or condition contained herein, in and upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furnishings, inventory, improvements and other personal property of Tenant presently or which hereafter may be situated in or on the Premises, and all proceeds therefrom, and such property shall not be removed therefrom without the consent of Landlord until any and all other sums of money then due to Landlord hereunder, first shall have been paid and discharged, and all covenants, agreements and conditions hereof have been fully complied with and performed by Tenant.  At any time and from time to time, Tenant agrees to execute any UCC-1 Financing Statement or such other documents or instruments as Landlord may request to perfect or confirm the security interest created by this Paragraph.

Tenant hereby waives all exemption laws to the extent permitted by law.  This lien and security interest may be foreclosed with or without court proceedings, by public or private sale, with or without notice, and Landlord shall have the right to become purchaser upon being the highest bidder at such sale.  Landlord, as secured party, shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies afforded a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Premises are located, which rights and remedies shall be in addition to and cumulative of the Landlord's liens and rights provided by law, in equity or by the terms and provisions of this Lease.







WAIVER OF DEFAULT







 31.           Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time and take such action as might be lawful or authorized hereunder, in law and/ or in equity.  No waiver by Landlord of a default by Tenant shall be implied, and no express waver by Landlord shall affect any default other than the default specified in such waiver and only for the time and extension therein stated.

(a) Tenant shall at all times and in all respects comply with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances and regulations ("Hazardous Materials Law") relating to industrial hygiene, environmental protection or the use, analysis, generation, manufacture, storage, presence, disposal or transportation of any oil, flammable explosives, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials or waste or other hazardous toxic, contaminated, or polluting materials, substances, or wastes, including, without limitation, any "hazardous substances", "hazardous wastes", "hazardous materials", or "toxic substances" under any such laws, ordinances or regulations (collectively, "Hazardous Materials").


 


           (b)           Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for Tenant's use of the Leased Premises including, without limitation, discharge of (appropriately treated) materials or wastes into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Leased Premises.

Tenant shall in all respects handle, treat, deal with and manage any and all Hazardous Materials brought in, on, under, or about the Leased Premises by Tenant in total conformity with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and prudent industry practices regarding management of such Hazardous Materials.  All reporting obligations imposed by Hazardous Materials Laws are strictly the responsibility of Tenant.  Tenant is "in charge" of Tenant's "facility" as such terms are used in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986.


 


           Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall cause all Hazardous Materials brought to the Leased Premises by Tenant to be removed from the Leased Premises and transported for use, storage, or disposal in accordance and compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws.  Tenant shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials in or about the Leased Premises or the Project, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any claims relating to any Hazardous Materials in any way connected with the Leased Premises or the Project, without first notifying Landlord of Tenant's intention to do so and affording Landlord ample opportunity to appear, intervene, or otherwise appropriately assert and protect Landlord's interest with respect thereto.  In addition, at Landlord's request, Tenant shall remove any tanks or fixtures brought to the Leased Premises by Tenant which contain, contained or are contaminated with Hazardous Materials.


 


           (c)           Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of:  (i) any enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws;  (ii) any claim made or threatened by any person or party against Tenant, the Leased Premises or the Project relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss, or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials; and (iii) any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials in, on, or removed from the Leased Premises or the Project, including any complaints, notices, warnings, reports or asserted violations in connection therewith.  Tenant shall also supply to Landlord as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after Tenant first receives or sends the same, copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings, asserted violations relating in any way to the Leased Premises, the Project or Tenant's use thereof.  Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of Hazardous Waste manifests reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all Hazardous Materials removed from the Leased Premises.

           (d)          Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and each of Landlord's partners, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, losses, or expenses (including attorney's fees and disbursements) for death of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever (including water tables and atmosphere) arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (i) the presence in, on, under, or about the Leased Premises or the Project or discharge in or from the Leased Presmises or the Project of any Hazardous Materials brought to the Leased Premises by Tenant from and after Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises, or Tenant's use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened release, discharge, or generation of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about, or from the Leased Premises or the Project, or (ii) Tenant's failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law, whether knowingly or unknowingly, the standard herein being one of strict liability.  Tenant's obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup, detoxification, or decontamination of the Leased Premises or the Project, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action, or other required plans in connection therewith, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease.  For purposes of the release and indemnity provision hereof, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or by employees, agents, assignees, subtenants, contractors, or subcontractors of Tenant or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful, or unlawful), shall be strictly attributable to Tenant.


 



          (e)           If at any time it reasonably appears to Landlord that Tenant is not maintaining sufficient insurance or other means of financial capacity to enable Tenant to fulfill its obligation to Landlord hereunder, whether or not then accrued, liquidated, conditional, or contingent, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s demand, procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such insurance or other form of financial assurance, with or from companies or persons and in forms reasonably acceptable to Landlord, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably request.  Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, procure such insurance if Tenant fails to meet its obligation hereunder and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost thereof as additional rent, immediately upon demand.







           (f)           If Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises shall involve Hazardous Materials of any kind in any fashion, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to undertake and submit to Landlord a periodic environmental audit from a qualified environmental engineering firm or auditor which audit will evaluate Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Lease and all Hazardous Material Laws.


 




RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER/REFUSAL







54.           ROFO - Provided Landlord has not previously leased the adjacent space as outlined in the attached Exhibit A-1-Right of First Offer Space floor plan, containing approximately 6,622 rentable square feet (“ROFO Space”), Tenant shall have a Right of First Offer to lease the ROFO Space  Tenant may elect with thirty (30) days prior written notice, to add the ROFO Space at the same Base Rent as the Premises (Base Rent being increased proportionally).  Provided there are not less than three (3) years remaining on the Lease Term, Landlord shall demise the ROFO Space from the remaining space in the Building and connect the Premises to the ROFO Space at its sole cost and expenses.


 


        ROFR – Continuing throughout the Lease Term, and with respect to the ROFO Space, and provided Tenant is then in good standing and not in default and no event of default has occurred that with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time would give rise to an event of default, then Tenant shall have a right of first refusal (as further described below, the “ROFR”) to execute an amendment to this Lease so as to add the ROFO Space (together with such additional space which may be a part of a bona-fide offer or letter of intent to lease) to the Demised Premises (the “Expansion Space”).  Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing if and when Landlord receives a bona-fide offer or letter of intent to lease the Adjacent Space (together with such additional space which may be a part of a bona-fide offer or letter of intent to lease) (the “ROFR Notice”).   Tenant shall have seven (7) days from receipt of such ROFR Notice in which to notify Landlord in writing of its desire to exercise its ROFR, and seven (7) days thereafter in which to execute an Amendment to Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  In the event the ROFR Notice contains the Adjacent Space together with additional space in the Building, the Tenant’s election to exercise the ROFR must be on all space contemplated in the ROFR Notice.  The Amendment to Lease shall provide, among other things, that (a) the Base Rent and Additional Rent on the Expansion Space shall be same per square foot and term as contemplated in the ROFR Notice, (b) the Lease term for the Expansion Space shall be the same as contemplated in the ROFR Notice, (c) The Expansion Space shall be accepted in its AS-IS condition and (d) all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply equally to the Expansion Space.  Should Tenant fail to exercise the ROFR or to execute the Amendment to Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord within the above stated periods, time being of the essence, then Tenant shall have waived its ROFR.

RENEWAL OPTION







55.           Tenant shall have one five (5) year option to renew the lease at then-current market rates as defined by Landlord.  Tenant shall provide not less than six (6) months, and not more than seven (7) months, prior written notice to Landlord of its intention to renew the Lease.  Upon receipt of an amendment to renew the Lease, which Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to provide within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s written notice of its intention to renew the Lease, Tenant shall execute such amendment within ten (10) days or the Renewal Option provided for herein shall be null and void and of no further effect.  Landlord shall have no responsibility for additional improvements of any kind in association with such Renewal Option.







IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE







56.           Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance equal to $25,000 (“Allowance”) to be applied towards improvements to the Premises by Tenant.  Such Allowance shall be applied as additional rent abatement upon completion of Tenant’s improvements and receipt by Landlord of evidence of payment for such improvements by Tenant.  Tenant shall complete such improvement and request reimbursement as provided for herein within six (6) months of the Effective Date or the Allowance shall be considered null and void.
