j.  

	
Late Charge.

The term “Real Estate Tax Year” means each successive 12-month period following and corresponding to the period or periods which may from time to time in the future be established by competent authority for the purposes of levying or imposing Real Estate Taxes.







 



	
2.  

	
Determining Obligations to Pay Increases in Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant's pro rata share, as specified in subparagraph (4)(b) of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes for or attributable to the then current Real Estate Tax Year exceeds the Base Real Estate Taxes. If the system of real estate taxation shall be altered or varied and any new tax or levy shall be levied or imposed on said land, Improvements, and/or Landlord, in substitution for Real Estate Taxes presently levied or imposed on immovables in the jurisdiction where the Premise is located, then any such new tax or levy shall be included within the term “Real Estate Taxes.” Tenant shall pay each month, in advance, as Additional Rent, one-twelfth of Landlord’s s estimate of Tenant's annual obligation under this Section 4. Such payments shall in no way limit Tenant's annual obligation. If the total of such monthly installments paid is less than Tenant's total obligation, Tenant shall promptly pay the difference upon receipt of Landlord’s statement. Any overpayment shall be credited to Tenant’s obligation for the next succeeding period.

Landlord shall have no obligation to contest, object or litigate the levying or imposition of any Real Estate Taxes and may settle, compromise, consent to, waive or otherwise determine in its discretion any Real Estate Taxes without consent or approval of Tenant.







 



	
4.  

	
Reduction in Real Estate Taxes. Nothing contained in this Section 4 shall be construed at any time to reduce the Rent payable hereunder below the amount stipulated in Section 3 of this lease.







 



	
5.  

	
Pro Rata Calculation of Increase in Real Estate Taxes. If the Termination Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall not coincide with the end of a Real Estate Tax Year, then computing the amount payable under this Section 4 for the period between the commencement of the applicable Real Estate Tax Year in question and the Termination Date or sooner termination of this Lease, the amount that would be due from the Tenant for the full year, if Tenant has been a tenant for the entire Real Estate Tax Year, shall be prorated over the portion of the Real Estate Tax Year that Tenant is a tenant of the Leased Premises. Tenant’s obligation to pay increased Real Estate Taxes under this Section 4 for the final period of the Lease (as well as for any period not paid as of the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease) shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

USE AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.







 



	
a.  

	
Tenant will be using the Leased Premises for a retail marijuana cultivation facility and/ or a medical marijuana optional premise cultivation facility, as that term may be defined under Colorado law. Tenant shall not use or permit the Leased Premises to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the Landlord acknowledges, agrees and understands that the Tenant and any Subtenant are operating a retail marijuana cultivation facility and/or medical marijuana optional premise cultivation facility (as that term may be defined or described under relevant Colorado law) and are entitled to possess, cultivate, distribute, transport, and/or acquire marijuana under applicable state law and Landlord hereby authorizes such use. The use and sale of marijuana for recreational and medical use is currently permitted pursuant to Article XVIII, § 16 of the Colorado Constitution; (b) The Colorado Retail Marijuana Code, C.R.S. § 12-43.4-101, et seq.; the Colorado Medical Marijuana Code, C.R.S. § 12-43.3-101, et seq. and all applicable state and local laws, ordinances, resolutions, and regulations promulgated thereto (“Colorado Marijuana Code”). As a condition of such use, Tenant shall maintain appropriate licensing or applications in good standing as required by the Colorado Marijuana Code and at all times operate Tenant’s business within the limits allowed by the Colorado Marijuana Code. Any action or non-action by the Tenant that results in any criminal prosecution, nuisance action, or suspension, revocation or non-renewal of a license shall be considered a material breach of the Lease and subject the Tenant to all rights and remedies of the Landlord in the event of breach. Tenant shall promptly comply with all Landlord or government orders and directives for the correction, prevention, and abatement of nuisances in or upon, or connected with the Leased Premises, all at Tenant's sole expense.  Excepting for the stated use above, Tenant shall not permit the Leased Premises to be used in any way which would, in the opinion of the Landlord, be extra hazardous or which would in any way increase or render void in the fire insurance on the premises.







 



	
b.  

	
Tenant shall not use, handle, store or dispose of any oil (excluding oils derived from the marijuana plant), hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes (excluding marijuana) (collectively “Hazardous Materials”) in, under, on or about the Leased Premises except for such storage and use consented to by Landlord in advance which consent may be withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Any Hazardous Materials in the Leased Premises, and all containers therefor, shall be used, kept, stored and disposed of in conformity with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations and orders of governmental authorities. If the transportation, storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials anywhere on the Leased Premises in connection with Tenant's use of the Leased Premises results in (1) contamination of the soil or surface or ground water or (2) loss or damage to person(s) or property, then Tenant agrees (i) to notify Landlord immediately of any contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage, (ii) after consultation with and approval by Landlord, to clean up all contamination in full compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and standards, and (iii) to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, suits, causes of action, costs and fees, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, arising from or connected with any such contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage. This provision shall survive the termination of this Lease. No consent or approval of Landlord shall in any way be construed as imposing upon Landlord any liability for the means, methods, or manner of removal, containment or other compliance with applicable law for and with respect to the foregoing. The terms of this Section shall apply to any transportation, storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials irrespective of whether Tenant has obtained Landlord's consent therefor but nothing in this Lease shall limit or otherwise modify the requirement of obtaining Landlord's prior consent as set forth in the first sentence of this Section.

No Tenant Change shall be undertaken until the Tenant shall have procured and paid for all required permits and authorizations of all municipal departments and governmental subdivisions having jurisdiction; and, at Tenant's expense, the Landlord shall join in application for such permits and authorizations whenever such action is necessary provided Tenant bears all costs borne by Landlord in joining the application.

c.  

	
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause any permitted Alterations to be performed in compliance with all applicable require­ments of insurance policies, Colorado and any applicable local law, and governmental bodies having jurisdic­tion. In addi­tion, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be respon­sible for the acquisi­tion of auxiliary aids, required under the ADA, including all Alter­ations required: (i) as a result of Tenant, or any subtenant, assignee or concessionaire, being a Public Ac­commoda­tion (as defined in the ADA); (ii) as a result of the Premises being a Commercial Facility (as defined in the ADA); (iii) as a result of any leasehold improvements made to the Leased Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, or any subtenant, assignee or conces­sionaire (whether or not Landlord’s consent to such leasehold improvements was obtained); or (iv) as a result of the employment by Tenant, or any subtenant, assignee or concession­aire, of any indi­vidual with a disability.

Tenant agrees that its applications, statements and financial reports submitted by it to Landlord are material inducements to the execution by Landlord of this Lease, and Tenant warrants that such applications, statements and reports are, and all information hereinafter furnished by Tenant to Landlord will be, true and correct in all material respects as of the date submitted.







 



	
b.  

	
Right of Inspection.

Landlord's rights of entry shall be exercisable only at reasonable times, in a reasonable manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the operation of Tenant's business, at reasonable intervals and on reasonable notice to Tenant as permitted by the Colorado Marijuana Code. Nothing contained herein, however, shall impose or imply any duty on the part of Landlord to make any repairs or perform any such work on the Leased Premises or to the Changes or Alterations.

10.  

	
RULES AND REGULATIONS. It is further agreed that the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit B shall be and are hereby made a part of this Lease, and Tenant agrees that its employees and agents, or any others permitted by Tenant to occupy or enter the Leased Premises, will at all times abide by these rules and regulations and that a default in the performance and observance of these rules and regulations shall cause Tenant to be in default of this Agreement. Landlord reserves the right to make such other and further reasonable rules and regulations as in its judgment may, from time to time, be needful and desirable for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Leased Premises and for the preservation of good order.







 



	
11.  

	
SUBLETTING/ASSIGNMENTS. Tenant shall not transfer, assign or encumber this Agreement, or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without in each case obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord. In the event Landlord consents to subletting of the Leased Premises, any and all rents or other consideration for any reason received by Tenant in excess of the rents required under this Agreement shall be construed as part of the Base Rent payable to Landlord.  Any attempt by Tenant to assign, transfer, encumber or sublet this Premises without Landlord’s written consent shall be void and shall give Landlord the right and option to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Tenant. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, transfer, subletting to any party other than Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from the terms of any covenant or obligation under this Lease nor shall the collection or acceptance of Rent from any such assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any covenant or obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall such assignment or subletting be construed to relieve Tenant from giving Landlord  reasonable notice, nor from obtaining the consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting. In the event that Tenant defaults hereunder Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and all rent due from any subtenant of Tenant and hereby authorizes each such subtenant to pay said rent directly to Landlord. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord consents to an assignment or sublease pursuant to this Section 11, Landlord may condition its consent upon the entry by such transferee into an agreement (in form and substances satisfactory to Landlord) with Landlord, by which such transferee assumes all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Any assignment of this Lease to a wholly owned subsidiary shall be permitted provided at all times the subsidiary remains wholly owned by Tenant.







 



	
12.  

	
LIENS.







 



	
a.  

	
Liens Prohibited. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens to be filed against the real property of which the Premises form a part nor against the Premises or Building.  The Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices which it deems necessary for protection from such liens.







 



	
b.  

	
Covenant against Liens. If, because of any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Tenant, any mechanics' or other lien, charge, or order for the payment of money or other encumbrances shall be filed or imposed against Landlord, any Mortgagee, and/or any portion of the Leased Premises (whether or not such lien, charge, order, or encumbrance is valid or enforceable as such), Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, cause same to be discharged of record or bonded within ten (10) days after notice to Tenant of the filing or imposition thereof; and Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord against, and save Landlord harmless from, all losses, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, suits, penalties, claims, demands, and obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, resulting therefrom. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing provisions, Landlord shall have the option of discharging or bonding any such lien, charge, order, or encumbrance, and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord (as additional rent) for all losses, costs, damages, and expenses resulting therefrom or incurred in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (at a rate equal to the Maximum Rate), promptly upon demand.

DESTRUCTION/RESTORATION OF PREMISES.







 



	
a.  

	
Leased Premises Untenantable. In the event of a particular destruction or partial destruction of the Leased Premises during the Lease Term, without the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, invitees or employees, causes the Leased Premises to be so damaged by fire or other casualty as to render the Leased Premises wholly untenantable, and if such damage shall be so great that a competent architect, in good standing in the County of Denver, selected by Landlord, certifies in writing that the Leased Premises, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, cannot be made fit for occupancy within one hundred twenty (120) days from the destruction, then this Agreement shall terminate, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Leased Premises, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises and remove Tenant therefrom. Tenant shall pay all rent up to the time of such termination of this Agreement. If, however, the architect selected by Landlord certifies that the Leased Premises can be made tenantable within one hundred twenty (120) days from the occurrence of damage, then Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, and rent shall be abated for the period during which the repairs are being made.

3.  

	
If the Leased Premises is so injured or damaged (even if the Leased Premises is not damaged) that Landlord decides it is necessary to reconstruct, rebuild or raze the Leased Premises, then Landlord may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to Tenant.  If such notice is given, this Agreement shall terminate from the date of the occurrence of the damage, and Tenant shall pay apportioned rent up to such date, and both parties shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder.







 



	
c.

d.  

	
If the Leased Premises is damaged as a result of any cause other than fire or other casualty, the Landlord shall not be required to repair the Leased Premises if the damage is greater than ten percent (10%) of the full replacement cost relative to the Leased Premises, as applicable.  If the Landlord elects not to repair the Leased Premises, this Agreement shall terminate from the date of the occurrence of the damage, and Tenant shall pay rent apportioned to such date, and both parties shall be free and discharged of all further obligations under this Agreement.
