The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease including but not limited to those set forth in Section 10 hereof, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant's liability for damages in case of default by Tenant.  Landlord shall have no fiduciary responsibilities or trust obligations whatsoever with regard to the Security Deposit and shall not assume the duties of a trustee for the Security Deposit.   Landlord may, from time-to-time, without prejudice to any other remedy and without waiving such default, use the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to cure or attempt to cure, in whole or in part, any default of Tenant hereunder.  Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.  If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, the balance of the Security Deposit remaining after any such application shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30)  days thereafter.  If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the term of this Lease, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of such Security Deposit.  Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee or assignee or successor thereof for the return of the Security Deposit.

Prior to commencing any such work and as a condition to obtaining Landlord’s consent, Tenant must furnish Landlord with plans and specifications acceptable to Landlord; names and addresses of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord; copies of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in accordance with Section 15. hereof; and a payment bond or other security, all in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Tenant shall be responsible for insuring that all such persons procure and maintain insurance coverage against such risks, in such amounts and with such companies as Landlord may require, including, but not limited to, Builder's Risk and Worker's Compensation insurance.  All such improvements, alterations or additions shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using Building Standard materials or other new materials of equal or greater quantity. Landlord, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any disruption to the tenants and occupants of the Building, shall have the right todesignate the time when any such alterations, additions and improvements may be performed and to otherwise designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of work in the Building.  Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans, contractor’s affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials.  All improvements, alterations and additions






9





  











  






 


shall comply with the insurance requirements, codes, ordinances, laws and regulations, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all sums, if any, expended by Landlord for third party examination of the architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans for any alterations, additions or improvements.  In addition, if Landlord so requests, Landlord shall be entitled to oversee the construction of any alterations, additions or improvements that may affect the structure of the Building or any of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life safety systems of the Building.  In the event Landlord elects to oversee such work, Landlord shall be entitled to receive a fee for such oversight in an amount equal to five  percent (5% ) of the cost of such alterations, additions or improvements.  Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for any work performed for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be representation by Landlord that such plans and specifications comply with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or regulations or that the alterations, additions and improvements constructed in accordance with such plans and specifications will be adequate for Tenant’s use. .  Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall have the right, from time to time, to make nonstructural alterations and improvements to, and decoration of, the interior of the Premises without Landlord’s consent, so long as: (i) Tenant hires a duly qualified and licensed contractor, (ii) Tenant provides written notice to the Landlord of the alterations, improvements, and decoration, and (iii) for any work in excess of $20,000.00, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.







11.   Use of Electrical Services by Tenant.







A.  All electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid for by Tenant either: (1) through inclusion in Base Rent and Basic Costs (except as provided in Section 11.B. below with respect to excess useage); or (2) by a separate charge billed directly to Tenant by Landlord and payable by Tenant as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after billing; or (3) by a separate charge or charges billed by the utility company(ies) providing electrical service and payable by Tenant directly to such utilities company(ies).  Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time-to-time during the Lease Term to contract for electricity service from such providers of such services as Landlord shall elect (each being an “Electric Service Provider”). Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, and the applicable Electric Service Provider, at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord and such Electric Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises.  Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character of the electric energy furnished to the Premises, or if the quantity or character of the electric energy supplied by the Electric Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements, and no such change, failure, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease except as expressly provided herein.







B.  Tenant's use of electrical services furnished by Landlord shall not exceed in voltage, rated capacity, or overall load that which is standard for the Building.  In the event Tenant shall request that it be allowed to consume electrical services in excess of Building Standard, Landlord may refuse to consent to such usage or may consent upon such conditions as Landlord reasonably elects (including the installation of utility service upgrades, submeters, air handlers or cooling units), and all such additional useage (to the extent permitted by law), installation and maintenance thereof shall be paid for by Tenant as Additional Rent. Landlord, at any time during the Lease Term, shall have the right to separately meter electrical useage for the Premises or to measure electrical useage by survey or any other method that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, deems appropriate.







12.   Entry by Landlord.  Tenant shall permit Landlord or its agents or representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Premises to inspect the same, or to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, tenants (during the last six  (6) months  months of the Lease Term or earlier in connection with a potential relocation) or insurers, or to clean or make repairs, alterations, or additions thereto, including any work that Landlord deems necessary for the safety, protection or preservation of the Building or any occupants thereof,






10





  











  






 


or to facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to the Building or any other tenant’s premises.  Except for any entry by Landlord in an emergency situation or to provide normal cleaning and janitorial service, Landlord shall provide Tenant with  at least twenty four hours’  prior notice of any entry into the Premises, which notice may be given verbally.  Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close the Premises or the Building to perform repairs, alterations or additions in the Premises or the Building, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to perform all such work on weekends and after Normal Business Hours.  Entry by Landlord hereunder shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason thereof. In connection with any of the foregoing activities of Landlord, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts while conducting such activities to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises and Tenant shall not unreasonable refuse Landlord access to the premises for reasonable reasons.


 


13.  Assignment and Subletting







A.  Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 13.E. below), Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building tenants having similar leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee’s business is not suitable for the Building considering the business of the other tenants and the Building’s prestige, or would result in a violation of another tenant’s rights; (3) the proposed transferee is a governmental agency or occupant of the Building; (4) Tenant is in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period; or (5) any portion of the Building or the Premises would likely become subject to additional or different laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer.  Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 13, shall, exercisable in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, be voidable.  Consent by Landlord to one or more Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s rights to approve any subsequent Transfer(s).  In no event shall any Transfer or Permitted Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease or any liability hereunder.







B.  If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord financial statements for the proposed transferee, a complete copy of the proposed assignment, sublease and other information as Landlord may reasonably request.  Landlord shall within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the required information and documentation either: (1) consent or reasonably refuse consent to the Transfer in writing; (2) in the event of a proposed assignment of this Lease or a proposed sublease of the entire Premises for the entire remaining term of this Lease, terminate this Lease effective the first to occur of ninety (90) days following written notice of such termination or the date that the proposed Transfer would have come into effect.  If Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant in writing of its decision within such thirty (30) days period after the later of the date Landlord is notified in writing of the proposed Transfer or the date Landlord has received all required information concerning the proposed transferee and the proposed Transfer, Landlord shall be deemed to have refused to consent to such Transfer, and to have elected to keep this Lease in full force and effect.  Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($750.00)   for Landlord’s review of any Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer.  In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s  review of such requested Transfer or Permitted Transfer not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).


 


C.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all cash and other consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the rent payable to Landlord hereunder net of reasonable leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs directly required in connection with such Transfer actually paid by Tenant, for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by the Transfer within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant.  If Tenant is in Monetary Default (defined in Section 22. below), Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in






11





  











  






 


which case Tenant shall receive a credit against rent in the amount of any payments received (less Landlord’s share of any excess).







D.  Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer, if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or similar entity, and the entity which owns or controls a majority of the voting shares/rights at the time changes for any reason (including but not limited to a merger, consolidation or reorganization), such change of ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer.  The foregoing shall not apply so long as Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock is listed on a nationally recognized security exchange, or if at least eighty percent (80%) of its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of which is so listed.







E.  Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublet the Premises to any entity controlling or controlled by or under common control with Tenant or to any successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization (hereinafter, collectively, referred to as "Permitted Transfer") without the consent of Landlord, provided: (1) Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period (2) if such proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by purchase, said proposed transferee shall acquire all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant’s business or, if such proposed transferee shall acquire all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant’s business or, if such proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or reorganization, the continuing or surviving corporation shall own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (3) such proposed transferee shall have a net worth which is at least equal to the greater of Tenant's net worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant's net worth as of the day prior to the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization as evidenced to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction; (4) such proposed transferee operates the business in the Premises for the Permitted Use and no other purpose; and (5) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization.







F.  Tenant agrees that in the event Landlord withholds its consent to any Transfer contrary to the provisions of this Section 13, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to seek an injunction in equity or compel performance by Landlord to give its consent and Tenant expressly waives any right to damages in the event of such withholding by Landlord of its consent.







 14.  Mechanic's Liens.  Tenant will not permit any mechanic's liens or other liens to be placed upon the Premises, the Building, or the Property and nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials to the Premises, the Building, or the Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to any mechanic's or other liens against the Premises, the Building, or the Property.  In the event any such lien is attached to the Premises, the Building, or the Property, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same.  Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes including, but not limited to,  reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly on demand as Additional Rent. Tenant shall within thirty (30)   days of receiving such notice of lien or claim (a) have such lien or claim released or (b) deliver to Landlord a bond in form, content, amount and issued by surety, satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying, protecting, defending and holding harmless the Indemnities against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien or claim and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof. Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed an Event of Default under Section 22. hereof entitling Landlord to exercise all of its remedies therefor without the requirement of any additional notice or cure period.







15.  Insurance.







A.  Landlord shall maintain such insurance on the Building and the Premises (other than on Tenant’s Property or on any additional improvements constructed in the Premises by Tenant), and such liability insurance in such amounts as Landlord reasonably elects and as is customary for comparable buildings in the same market area as the Building, including all-risk property damage insurance on the Building,






12





  











  






 


Building improvements and personal property owned by Landlord in the amount of the full replacement values thereof, as the values may exist from time to time and general liability insurance covering Landlord’s operations and the Building with combined single limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage. The cost of such insurance shall be included as a part of the Basic Costs, and payments for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord as their interests shall appear.







B.  Tenant shall maintain at its expense, (1) in an amount equal to full replacement cost, special form (formerly known as all risk) property insurance on all of its personal property, including removable trade fixtures and leasehold and tenant improvements, and Tenant’s Property located in the Premises and in such additional amounts as are required to meet Tenant's obligations pursuant to Section 18 hereof and with deductibles in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (ii) a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance (including endorsement or separate policy for owned or non-owned automobile liability) with respect to its activities in the Building and on the Property, with the premiums thereon fully paid on or before the due date, in an amount of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence per person coverage for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury or combination thereof (the term "personal injury" as used herein means, without limitation, false arrest, detention or imprisonment, malicious prosecution, wrongful entry, liable and slander), provided that if only single limit coverage is available it shall be for at least $2,000,000 per occurrence with an umbrella policy of at least $5,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence.  Tenant's insurance policies shall name Landlord and Building Manager as additional insureds and shall include coverage for the contractual liability of Tenant to indemnify Landlord and Building Manager pursuant to Section 16 of this Lease and shall have deductibles in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Prior to Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall furnish evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the maintenance and timely renewal of such insurance, and Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord a written obligation on the part of each insurer to notify Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the modification, cancellation or expiration of such insurance policies.  In the event Tenant shall not have delivered to Landlord a policy or certificate evidencing such insurance at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each expiring policy, Landlord may obtain such insurance as Landlord may reasonably require to protect Landlord's interest (which obtaining of insurance shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Tenant's default hereunder).  The cost to Landlord of obtaining such policies, plus an administrative fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the cost of such policies shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent upon demand.







C.  The insurance requirements set forth in this Section 15 are independent of the waiver, indemnification, and other obligations under this Lease and will not be construed or interpreted in any way to restrict, limit or modify the waiver, indemnification and other obligations or to in any way limit any party’s liability under this Lease.  In addition to the requirements set forth in Sections 15 and 16, the insurance required of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease must be issued by an insurance company with a rating of no less than A-VIII in the current Best’s Insurance Guide, or A- in the current Standard & Poor Insurance Solvency Review, or in that is otherwise acceptable to Landlord, and admitted to engage in the business of insurance in the state in which the Building is located; be primary insurance for all claims under it and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord and Landlord’s lenders is strictly excess, secondary and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Tenant; and provide that insurance may not be cancelled, nonrenewed or the subject of material change in coverage of available limits of coverage, except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Landlord’s lenders.  Tenant will deliver either a duplicate original or a legally enforceable certificate of insurance on all policies procured by Tenant in compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, together with evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the payment of the premiums therefor, to Landlord on or before the date Tenant first occupies any portion of the Premises, at least thirty (30) days before the expiration date of any policy and upon the renewal of any policy.  Landlord must give its prior written approval to all deductibles and self-insured retentions under Tenant’s policies.  Tenant may comply with its insurance coverage requirements through a blanket policy, provided Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense, procures a “per location” endorsement, or equivalent reasonably acceptable to Landlord, so that the general aggregate and other limits apply separately and specifically to the Premises.


 






13





  











  






 


D.  If Tenant’s business operations, conduct or use of the Premises or any other part of the Property causes an increase in the premium for any insurance policy carried by Landlord, Tenant will, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for the entire increase.







E.  Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable (by way of subrogation or otherwise) to the other party (or to any insurance company insuring the other party) for any personal injury or loss or damage to any of the property of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to their respective property, the Building, the Property or the Premises or any addition or improvements thereto, or any contents therein, to the extent covered by insurance carried or required to be carried by a party hereto even though such loss might have been occasioned by the negligence or willful acts or omissions of the Landlord or Tenant or their respective employees, agents, contractors or invitees.  Since this mutual waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim by subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), Landlord and Tenant each agree to give each insurance company which has issued, or on the future may issue, policies of insurance, with respect to the items covered by this waiver, written notice of the terms of this mutual waiver, and to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of any of the coverage provided by such insurance policies by reason of such mutual waiver.  For the purpose of the foregoing waiver, the amount of any deductible applicable to any loss or damage shall be deemed covered by, and recoverable by the insured under the insurance policy to which such deductible relates.  In the event that Tenant is permitted to and self-insures any risk for which insurance is required to be carried under this Lease, or if Tenant fails to carry any insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then all loss or damage to Tenant, its leasehold interest, its business, its property, the Premises or any additions or improvements thereto or contents thereof shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by Tenant under valid and collectible policies of insurance.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant or any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the Tenant for any loss or damage to any property, or bodily injury or personal injury or any resulting loss of income or losses from worker’s compensation laws and benefits, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Building Manager, if any such loss or damage was required to be covered by insurance pursuant to this Lease.


 


16.   Indemnity.  To the extent not expressly prohibited by law, neither Landlord nor Building Manager nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers, or agents shall be liable to Tenant, or to Tenant's agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees, or invitees for any injury to person or damage to property caused by any act, omission, or neglect of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, customers, invitees, licensees or by any other person entering the Building or upon the Property under the invitation of Tenant or arising out of the use of the Property, Building or Premises by Tenant and the conduct of its business or out of a default by Tenant in the performance of its obligations hereunder.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord and Building Manager and their respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers and agents ("Indemnitees”), harmless from all liability and claims for any property damage, or bodily injury or death of, or personal injury to, a person in or on the Premises, or at any other place, including the Property or the Building and this indemnity shall be enforceable to the full extent whether or not such liability and claims are the result of the sole, joint or concurrent acts, negligent or intentional, or otherwise, of Tenant, or its employees, agents, servants, customers, invitees or licensees.  Such indemnity for the benefit of Indemnitees shall be enforceable even if Indemnitees, or any one or more of them have or has caused or participated in causing such liability and claims by their joint or concurrent acts, negligent or intentional, or otherwise,







To the extent not expressly prohibited by law, neither Tenant nor any of its officers, directors, employees, members, managers, or agents shall be liable to Landlord nor Building Manager, or to their respective agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees, or invitees for any injury to person or damage to property caused by any act, omission, or neglect of Landlord, Building Manager, or their respective agents, servants, employees, customers, invitees, licensees or by any other person entering the Building or upon the Property under the invitation of Landlord or Building Manager or arising out of the use of the Property or Building by Landlord or Building Manager and the conduct of their business or out of a default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations hereunder except if occurring in whole or in part due to the gross negligence or






14





  











  






 


intentional misconduct of the Tenant or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers, or agents..  Landlord hereby indemnifies and holds Tenant and its officers, directors, employees, members, managers and agents ("Tenant Indemnitees”), harmless from all liability and claims for any property damage, or bodily injury or death of, or personal injury to, a person in or on the Property or the Building and this indemnity shall be enforceable to the full extent whether or not such liability and claims are the result of the sole, joint or concurrent acts, negligent or intentional, or otherwise, of Landlord, or its employees, agents, servants, customers, invitees or licensees.  Notwithstanding the terms of this Lease to the contrary, the terms of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


 


17.  Damages from Certain Causes.  To the extent not expressly prohibited by law, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant’s employees, contractors, agents, invitees or customers, for any injury to person or damage to property sustained by Tenant or any such party or any other person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in the Premises or any other portion of the Building caused by the Premises or any other portion of the Building becoming out of repair or by defect in or failure of equipment, pipes, or wiring, or by broken glass, or by the backing up of drains, or by gas, water, steam, electricity, or oil leaking, escaping or flowing into the Premises (except where due to Landlord's willful failure to make repairs required to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Lease, after the expiration of a reasonable time after written notice to Landlord of the need for such repairs), nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other tenants of the Building or of any other persons whomsoever, including, but not limited to riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition, order of any governmental body or authority, acts of God, fire or theft. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Premises will be uninhabitable or unusable by Tenant for five (5) consecutive business days, then Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated to the extent to which such condition interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises commencing on the first day of such condition and continuing until such condition is corrected if and only if Landlord has been negligent or has failed to repair and or maintain the property. If the Premises are made uninhabitable or unusable due to Tenant’s negligence, behavior and/or actions, there shall be no abatement of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due.







18.   Casualty Damage.  If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord.  In case the Building shall be so damaged that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord's sole opinion, be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such casualty) or in the event there is less than one year of the Lease Term remaining or in the event Landlord’s mortgagee should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event of any material uninsured loss to the Building, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty.  If Landlord does not thus elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building, and the improvements located within the Premises, if any, for which Landlord had financial responsibility pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D (except that Landlord shall not be responsible for delays not within the control of Landlord) to substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the happening of the casualty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's obligation to restore the Building, and the improvements located within the Premises, if any, for which Landlord had financial responsibility pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement, shall not require Landlord to expend for such repair and restoration work more than the insurance proceeds actually received by the Landlord as a result of the casualty and Landlord's obligation to restore shall be further limited so that Landlord shall not be required to expend for the repair and restoration of the improvements located within the Premises, if any, for which Landlord had financial responsibility pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement, more than the dollar amount of the Allowance, if any, described in the Work Letter Agreement.  When the repairs described in the preceding two sentences have been completed by Landlord, Tenant shall complete the restoration of all improvements, including furniture, fixtures and equipment, which are necessary to permit Tenant's reoccupancy of the Premises.  Except as set forth above, all cost and expense of reconstructing the Premises shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall present Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's ability to pay such costs prior to Landlord's commencement of repair and restoration of the Premises.  Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except that,


 


 




15





  











  






 


subject to the provisions of the next sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair diminution of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.  If the Premises or any other portion of the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, employees, or invitees, the rent hereunder shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost of the repair and restoration of the Property caused thereby to the extent such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds. 







19.  Condemnation.  If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises or if the Building or any portion thereof which would leave the remainder of the Building unsuitable for use as an office building comparable to its use on the Commencement Date, or if the land on which the Building is located or any material portion thereof, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then Landlord or Tenant may, at their option, terminate this Lease and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective when the physical taking of said Premises or said portion of the Building or land shall occur.  In the event this Lease is not terminated, the rent for any portion of the Premises so taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired term of this Lease effective when the physical taking of said portion of the Premises shall occur.  All compensation awarded for any such taking or condemnation, or sale proceeds in lieu thereof, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claim thereto, the same being hereby expressly waived by Tenant, except for any portions of such award or proceeds which are specifically allocated by the condemning or purchasing party for the taking of or damage to trade fixtures of Tenant, which Tenant specifically reserves to itself.







20.  Hazardous Substances.







A.  Tenant hereby represents and covenants to Landlord the following: No toxic or hazardous substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (including, without limitation, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, the group of organic compounds known as polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum products including gasoline, fuel oil, crude oil and various constituents of such products, radon, and any hazardous substance as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. 9601-9657, as amended (“CERCLA”) (collectively, “Environmental Pollutants”) other than customary office supplies and cleaning supplies stored and handled within the Premises in accordance with all applicable laws, will be generated, treated, stored, released or disposed of, or otherwise placed, deposited in or located on the Property, and no activity shall be taken on the Property, by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors, that would cause or contribute to (i) the Property or any part thereof to become a generation, treatment, storage or disposal facility within the meaning of or otherwise bring the Property within the ambit of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. 5901 et. seq., or any similar state law or local ordinance, (ii) a release or threatened release of toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, pollutants or contaminants, from the Property or any part thereof within the meaning of, or otherwise result in liability in connection with the Property within the ambit of CERCLA, or any similar state law or local ordinance, or (iii) the discharge of pollutants or effluents into any water source or system, the dredging or filling of any waters, or the discharge into the air of any emissions, that would require a permit under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et. seq., or the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et. seq., or any similar state law or local ordinance.







B. Tenant expressly waives, to the extent allowed by law, any claims under federal, state or other law that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord relating to the condition of such Property or the Premises or the Leasehold Improvements or personal property located thereon or the presence in or contamination of the Property or the Premises by hazardous materials.  Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Indemnitees (as defined in Section 16) harmless from and against and to reimburse Indemnitees with respect to, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, loss, damage, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by Landlord at any time and from time-to-time by reason of or arising out of the breach of any representation or covenant contained in Section 20.A above.







C.  Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of any release or threatened release of toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, pollutants or contaminants of which Tenant has knowledge whether or






16





  











  






 


not the release is in quantities that would require under law the reporting of such release to a governmental or regulatory agency.







D. Tenant shall also immediately notify Landlord in writing of, and shall contemporaneously provide Landlord with a copy of:

Any written notice of release of hazardous wastes or substances, pollutants or contaminants on the Property that is provided by Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant if the Premises to a governmental or regulatory agency;

23.  Remedies.







A.  Subject to applicable Utah law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by law or equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to or demand upon Tenant and which may be pursued successively or cumulatively as Landlord may elect:








	
  

	
(1)

	
Landlord may re-enter the Premises and cure any default of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for any cost and expenses which Landlord may incur to cure such default; and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage which Tenant may sustain by reason of Landlord's action, regardless of whether caused by Landlord's negligence or otherwise.













	
  

	
(2)

	
Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant notice of Landlord's election to do so, in which event the Term shall end, and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall expire, on the date stated in such notice;













	
  

	
(3)

	
Landlord may terminate the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice to Tenant that Tenant's right to possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice; and













	
  

	
(4)

	
Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all moneys due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease.












Landlord shall not be required to serve Tenant with any notices or demands as a prerequisite to its exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Lease, other than those notices and demands specifically required under this Lease. Tenant waives any right to trial by jury in any lawsuit brought by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises following Landlord's termination of this Lease pursuant to section 23a(2) or the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises pursuant to section  23a(3) and on any claim for delinquent rent which Landlord may join in its lawsuit to recover possession.







B.  If Landlord exercises either of the remedies provided in Sections 23.A.(2) or 23.A.(3), Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises and immediately deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Landlord may re-enter and take complete and peaceful possession of the Premises, with process of law, full and complete license to do so being hereby granted to Landlord, and Landlord may remove all occupants and property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary to the extent allowed by law, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without relinquishing Landlord's right to Rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.







C. If Landlord terminates the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to immediate recovery of all amounts then due hereunder.  Such termination of possession shall not release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay Rent hereunder for the full Term, an Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for, all Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other sums accruing as they become due under this Lease during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the stated end of the Term.  In any such case, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant for such rent, for such time (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term) and upon such terms as Landlord shall determine and may collect the rents from such reletting.  Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant relative to such reletting.  Also, in any such case, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by






19





  











  






 


Landlord necessary or desirable and in connection therewith change the locks to the Premises, and Tenant upon demand shall pay the cost of all of the foregoing together with Landlord's expenses of reletting.  The rents from any such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses of reentry, redecoration, repair and alterations and the expenses of reletting and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant.  Any excess or residue shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent due and owing as the same thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder, and the use of such offsetting credit to reduce the amount of Rent due Landlord, if any, shall not be deemed to give Tenant any right, title or interest in or to such excess or residue and any such excess or residue shall belong to Landlord solely, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit on its indebtedness to Landlord in excess of the aggregate sum (including Base Rent and Additional Rent) which would have been paid by Tenant for the period for which the credit to Tenant is being determined, had no Event of Default occurred.  No such reentry or repossession, repairs, alterations and additions, or reletting shall be construed as an eviction or ouster of Tenant or as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant, or shall operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, and Landlord, at any time and from time to time, may sue and recover judgment for any deficiencies remaining after the application of the proceeds of any such reletting.







D. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 23.A.(2), Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date, as well as all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable or for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, which may be then owing and unpaid, and all costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and, in addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty (i) the unamortized portion of any concessions offered by Landlord to Tenant in connection with this Lease, including without limitation Landlord's contribution to the cost of tenant improvements and alterations, if any, installed by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease or any work letter in connection with this Lease, (ii) the aggregate sum which at the time of such termination represents the excess, if any, of the present value of the aggregate rents which would have been payable after the termination date had this Lease not been terminated, including, without limitation, Base Rent at the annual rate or respective annual rates for the remainder of the Term provided for in this Lease and the amount projected by Landlord to represent Additional Rent for the remainder of the Term over the then present value of the then aggregate fair rent value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, such present worth to be computed in each case on the basis of a ten percent (10%) per annum discount from the respective dates upon which such Rents would have been payable hereunder had this Lease not been terminated, and (iii) any damages in addition thereto, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, which Landlord sustains as a result of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease other than for the payment of Rent.







E. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages resulting from an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease.  Landlord's obligation to mitigate damages after an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease shall be satisfied in full if Landlord undertakes to lease the Premises to another tenant (a "Substitute Tenant") in accordance with the following criteria:








 




	
  

	
(1)

	

Landlord shall have no obligations to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant;









 





	
  

	
(2)

	
Landlord shall not be obligated to lease or show the Premises, on a priority basis, offer the Premises to a prospective tenant when other premises in the Building suitable for that prospective tenant's use are (or soon will be) available;













	
  

	
(3)

	
Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the Premises to a Substitute Tenant for a Rent less than the current fair market Rent then prevailing for similar uses in comparable buildings











20





  











  






 



	
  

	
in the same market area as the Building, nor shall Landlord be obligated to enter into a new lease under other terms and conditions that are unacceptable to Landlord under Landlord's then current leasing policies for comparable space in the Building;













	
  

	
(4)

	
Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with a Substitute Tenant whose use would:













	
  

	
(i)

	
violate any restriction, covenant, or requirement contained in the lease of another tenant of the Building;












(ii)           adversely affect the reputation of the Building; or








	
  

	
(iii)

	
be incompatible with the operation of the Building as an office building;













	
  

	
(5)

	
Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with any proposed Substitute Tenant which does not have, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources to operate the Premises in a first class manner; and













	
  

	
(6)

	
Landlord shall not be required to expend any amount of money to alter, remodel, or otherwise make the Premises suitable for use by a proposed Substitute Tenant unless:













	
  

	
(i)

	
Tenant pays any such sum to Landlord in advance of Landlord's execution of a lease with such tenant (which payment shall not be in lieu of any damages or other sums to which Landlord may be entitled as a result of Tenant's default under this Lease); or













	
  

	
(ii)

	
Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, determines that any such expenditure is financially justified in connection with entering into any such substitute lease.












F.  All property of Tenant removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease or applicable law may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be responsible in any event for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof.  Tenant shall pay Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such removal and storage so long as the same is in Landlord's possession or under Landlord's control.  All such property not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term or the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, however terminated, at Landlord's option, shall be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as by bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.







G.  Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a first lien upon the interest of Tenant under this Lease to secure the payment of moneys due under this Lease, which lien may be enforced in equity, and Landlord shall be entitled as a matter of right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of the Premises and relet the same under order of court.







H.  If Tenant is adjudged bankrupt, or a trustee in bankruptcy is appointed for Tenant, Landlord and Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, agree to request that the trustee in bankruptcy determine within sixty (60) days thereafter whether to assume or to reject this Lease.







I. The receipt by Landlord of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant's check or any letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this lease.  The acceptance by Landlord of rent hereunder shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease.  No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an






21





  











  






 


acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.







J. In the event of any litigation between Tenant and Landlord to enforce any provision of this Lease or any right of either party hereto, the unsuccessful party to such litigation shall pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred therein.  Furthermore, if Landlord, without fault, is made a party to any litigation instituted by or against Tenant, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against, and protect, defend, and save it harmless from, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by it in connection therewith.  If Tenant, without fault, is made party to any litigation instituted by or against Landlord, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against, and protect, defend, and save it harmless from, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by it in connection therewith.







24.  No Waiver.  Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon its occurrence, or delay in taking any action in connection with an event of default, shall not constitute a waiver of such default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel against Landlord, but Landlord shall have the right to declare the default at any time and take such action as is lawful or authorized under this Lease.  Failure by Landlord to enforce its rights with respect to any one default shall not constitute a waiver of its rights with respect to any subsequent default.







25.   Peaceful Enjoyment.  Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold, and enjoy the Premises, subject to the other terms hereof, provided that Tenant pays the Rent and other sums herein recited to be paid by Tenant and timely performs all of Tenant's covenants and agreements herein contained.  This covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only with respect to breaches occurring during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Landlord's interest hereunder.







 26.  Intentionally Omitted.







 27.  Holding Over.  In the event of holding over by Tenant after expiration or other termination of this Lease or in the event Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the termination of Tenant's right of possession pursuant to Section 23.A (3) hereof, occupancy of the Premises subsequent to such termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance and in no event for month-to-month or year-to-year.  Tenant shall, throughout the entire holdover period, be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease and shall pay for its use and occupancy an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for any partial months during any such holdover) equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the sum (or 150% of the Base Rent and Additional Rent which would have been applicable had the Lease Term continued through the period of such holding over by Tenant.  No holding over by Tenant or payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration of the Lease Term shall be construed to extend the Lease Term or prevent Landlord from recovery of immediate possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise unless Landlord has sent written notice to Tenant that Landlord has elected to extend the Lease Term.  In addition to the obligation to pay the amounts set forth above during any such holdover period, Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for all damages, including, without limitation, any consequential damages, which Landlord may suffer by reason of any holding over by Tenant and Tenant shall also indemnify Landlord against any and all claims made by any other tenant or prospective tenant against Landlord for delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises to such other tenant or prospective tenant.







 28.  Subordination to Mortgage/Estoppel Certificate.  Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien presently existing or hereafter arising upon the Premises, or upon the Building and/or the Property and to any renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof, but Tenant agrees that any such mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate such mortgage, deed of trust or other lien to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion.  The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises, or the Building and/or the Property and Tenant agrees within ten (10) days after demand to execute such further commercially reasonable instruments

In the event that Tenant should fail to execute any subordination or other agreement required by this Section promptly as requested, Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute such instrument in Tenant's name, place and stead, it being agreed that such power is one coupled with an interest in Landlord and is accordingly irrevocable.

32.  Rights Reserved to Landlord.  Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without notice, except as provided herein, and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business and without affecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of rent or affecting any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease: (1) upon thirty (30) days prior notice to change the name or street address of the Building; (2) to install and maintain signs on the exterior and interior of the Building; (3) to designate and approve window coverings to present a uniform exterior appearance; (4) to make any decorations, alterations, additions, improvements to the Building or Property, or any part thereof (including, with prior notice, the Premises) which Landlord shall desire, or deem necessary for the safety, protection, preservation or improvement of the Building or Property, or as Landlord may be required to do by law; (5) to have access to the Premises at reasonable hours and upon at least 24 hours’ prior notice to perform its duties and obligations and to exercise its rights under this Lease; (6) to retain at all times and to use in appropriate instances, pass keys to all locks within and to the Premises; (7) to approve the weight, size, or location of heavy equipment, or articles within the Premises; (8) to close or restrict access to the Building at all times other than Normal Business Hours subject to Tenant’s right  to admittance at all times under such regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time to time, or to close (temporarily or permanently) any of the entrances to the Building;; provided Landlord shall have the right to restrict or prohibit access to the Building or the Premises at any time Landlord determines it is necessary to do so to minimize the risk of injuries or death to persons or damage to property (9) to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances of passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and public parts of the Building or Property; (10) to regulate access to telephone, electrical and other utility closets in the Building and to require use of designated contractors for any work involving access to the same; (11) if Tenant has vacated the Premises during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term, to perform additions, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with a reletting or anticipated reletting thereof without being responsible or liable for the value or preservation of any then existing improvements to the Premises;  and (12) to grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or undertaking in the Building provided Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this clause 12, shall not be deemed to prohibit Tenant from the operation of its business in the Premises and shall not constitute a constructive eviction.

 EXHIBIT C







PAYMENT OF BASIC COSTS












(USE FOR GROSS DEALS USING A BASE YEAR)












This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease dated August 11, 2015 by and between Bay Pacific East South Temple, LLC, a Utah Limited Liability Company ("Landlord") and Great Basin Scientific  ("Tenant") for space in the Building located at 420 E. South Temple, Suite 520, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.







A.  During each calendar year, or portion thereof, falling within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which (a) Basic Costs (as defined below) for the applicable calendar year exceeds Basic Costs for 2016 (the “Base Year”).  In no event shall the amount required to be paid by Tenant with respect to Basic Costs for any calendar year during the Lease Term be less than zero.  Prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall make a good faith estimate of Basic Costs for the applicable full or partial calendar year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  On or before the first day of each month during such calendar year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of the amount by which Basic Costs for such calendar year will exceed Basic Costs for the Base Year.  Landlord shall have the right from time to time during any such calendar year to revise the estimate of Basic Costs for such year and provide Tenant with a revised statements therefor (provided, however, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not issue a revised statement more than twice in any calendar year), and thereafter the amount Tenant shall pay each month shall be based upon such revised estimate.  If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Basic Costs by January 1 of any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay a monthly installment based on the previous year’s estimate until such time as Landlord provides Tenant with an estimate of Basic Costs for the current year.  Upon receipt of such current year’s estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month during the current year with respect to which Tenant paid monthly installments of Additional Rent based on the previous year’s estimate.  Tenant shall pay Landlord for any underpayment upon demand.  Any overpayment in excess of the equivalent of one (1) month’s Base Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, be refunded to Tenant or credited against the installment(s) of Additional Rent next coming due under the Lease.  Any overpayment in an amount equal to or less than the equivalent of one (1) month’s Base Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, be refunded to Tenant or credited against the installment of Additional Rent due for the month immediately following the furnishing of such estimate.  Any amount paid by Tenant based on any estimate shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph A below, when actual Basic Costs are determined for such calendar year.







B.  As soon as is practical following the end calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of Landlord’s actual Basic Costs for the previous calendar year.  If for any calendar year the Additional Rent collected for the prior year, as a result of Landlord’s estimate of Basic Costs, is in excess of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which Basic Costs for such prior year exceeds Basic Costs for the Base Year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment (or at Landlord’s option apply such amount against Additional Rent due or to become due hereunder).  Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior year whether or not the Lease has terminated prior to receipt by Tenant of a statement for such underpayment, it being understood that this clause shall survive the expiration of the Lease. If Tenant disputes the amount of the Additional Rent due hereunder, Tenant may designate, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the statement, an independent certified public accountant or qualified third-party management company to inspect Landlord’s records.  Tenant is not entitled to request that inspection, however, if Tenant is then in default under this Lease.  The accountant must be a member of a nationally recognized accounting firm  (with rates calculated  hourly and not on contingency). Any inspection must be conducted in Landlord’s offices at a reasonable time or times. Tenant shall complete the inspection and present any disputed charges, to Landlord, in writing, within six (6) months of receipt of the statement.  If Tenant fails to complete the inspection and present any disputed charges to Landlord within such six (6) month period, Tenant shall forfeit any rights to claim a refund, rebate, or return of the Basic Costs set forth in the statement. If as a result of such audit and certification, it is determined that Tenant was 


 





32





  











  








 


overcharged by more than five percent (5%) during any period covered by such audit and certification, then Landlord will pay the costs and expenses of such audit.




C.  Basic Costs shall mean all direct and indirect costs, expenses paid and disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations set forth below) which Landlord incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in each calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing, owning and managing the Building and the Property including but not limited to, the following:

Tenant acknowledges the foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of the reasons why Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to a general contractor.







Tenant shall enter into a contract for said work directly with contractor.   Tenant shall be responsible for all space planning, mechanical, electrical  and architectural costs and any other costs related to the Alterations.







Except as expressly provided in the Lease, Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in its "as-is" condition and configuration, it being agreed that Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or, incur any costs in connection with the construction or demolition of any improvements in the Premises.







This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the original Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of this Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

RECITALS


 








	
  

	
A.

	

Bank has extended credit or may hereafter extend credit to __________________________ ("Borrower") secured, in whole or in part, by a deed of trust (the "Deed of Trust")  covering that certain real property situated in Salt Lake City, Utah, and described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property").



	
 







 




	
  

	
B..

	

Lessee leases all or a portion of the Property pursuant to a lease entered into between









 



Bay Pacific East South Temple, LLC, A Utah Limited Liability Company, (“Lessor”) and Great Basin Scientific,  A Delaware Corporation  (“Lessee”)






 


(Lessor") and Lessee dated as of _______________________________the ("Lease"), which Lease has not been recorded. It is a condition of Bank's agreement to extend or continue credit to Borrower secured by the Property that the security of the Deed of 


Trust be and at all times remain a lien or charge on the Property prior and superior to the rights of Lessee under the Lease.




NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.         SUBORDINATION.


 


(a)         Subordination of Lease. The Deed of Trust and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications or replacements thereof shall be and at all times remain a lien or charge on the Property prior and superior to the Lease. Lessee intentionally and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and subordinates the priority and superiority of the Lease and Lessee's right and interest to the Property thereunder to the lien or charge of the Deed of Trust, and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications or replacements thereof.


 


(b)         Reliance. Lessee acknowledges that Bank, in extending or continuing to extend credit to Borrower secured by the Property is doing so in material reliance on this Agreement.


 




  





  











  






 


(c)         Acknowledgements of Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that it has such information with respect to any credit extended by Bank to Borrower, and all loan documents executed in connection therewith, as Lessee deems necessary in order to grant this subordination. Lessee further agrees that Bank is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Bank represented that it has or will, see to the application of the proceeds of any such credit by any person or entity, and any application or use of any such proceeds for purposes other than those for which they were intended shall not defeat this subordination.


 


(d)         Entire Subordination Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the whole and only agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the subordination of the Lease to the lien or charge of the Deed of Trust; there are no agreements (written or oral) outside or separate from this Agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof; and all prior negotiations with respect thereto, if any, are merged into this Agreement. This Agreement shall supersede and cancel, but only insofar as would affect the priority between the Deed of Trust and the Lease, any prior agreements as to such subordination, including without limitation those provisions, if any, contained in the Lease which provide for the subordination thereof to the lien of a deed of trust or mortgage affecting all or any portion of the Property.


 


2.         LEASE. Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Deed of Trust remains in force and effect:


 


(a)         No Modification, Termination or Cancellation. Lessee shall not consent to any modification, termination or cancellation of the Lease without Bank's prior written consent.


 


(b)         Notice of Default. Lessee shall notify Bank in writing concurrently with any notice given to Lessor of any breach of or default by Lessor under the Lease. Lessee agrees that Bank shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any breach or default specified in such notice within the time periods set forth below, and Lessee shall not declare a default of the Lease, as to Bank, if Bank cures such breach or default within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the time period provided in the Lease for the cure thereof by Lessor; provided however, that if such breach or default cannot with diligence be cured by Bank within such thirty (30) day period, the commencement of action by Bank within such thirty (30) day period to remedy the same shall be deemed sufficient so long as Bank pursues such cure with diligence.


 


(c)         No Advance  Rents.  Lessee shall not make any payments or prepayments of rent more than one (1) month in advance of the time when the same become due under the Lease.


 


(d)         Assignment of Rents. Upon receipt by Lessee of written notice from Bank that Bank has elected to terminate the license granted to Lessor to collect rents, as provided in the Deed of Trust, and directing Lessee to make payment thereof to Bank, Lessee shall comply with such direction to pay and shall not be required to determine whether Lessor or Borrower is in default under any obligations to Bank.


 


3.         ATTORNMENT. If Bank or any other transferee acquires Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Property pursuant to a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or a deed in lieu thereof or in any other manner whereby Bank or such transferee succeeds to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, Lessee agrees as follows for the benefit of Bank or such transferee:


 


(a)        Payment of Rent. Lessee shall pay to Bank or such transferee all rental payments required to be made by Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease for the remaining term thereof.


 


(b)         Continuation of Performance. Lessee shall be bound to Bank or such transferee in accordance with all of the terms of the Lease for the remaining term thereof, and Lessee hereby attorns to Bank or such transferee as its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Bank or such transferee succeeding to Lessor's interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Lessee.


 


(c)         No Offset. Neither Bank nor such transferee shall be liable for, or subject to, any offsets or defenses which Lessee may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor as the prior lessor under 


 



 




  





  











  








 


the Lease, nor for the return of any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor as the prior lessor under the Lease as security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to Bank or such transferee.


 


(d)         Subsequent Transfer. If Bank or such transferee, by succeeding to Lessor's interest under the Lease, becomes obligated to perform the covenants of a lessor thereunder, then, upon any further transfer by Bank or such transferee of its interest as a lessor under the Lease, all of such obligations shall terminate as to Bank or such transferee.


 


4.         NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event of a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, or a transfer of the Property in lieu thereof or in any other manner whereby Bank or such transferee succeeds to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, so long as there shall then exist no breach, default or event of default by Lessee under the Lease, (a) the leasehold interest of Lessee shall not be extinguished or terminated by reason of such foreclosure, (b) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and (c) Bank and its successors-in-interest shall recognize and accept Lessee as the tenant under the Lease, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease as modified by this Agreement.


 


5.    ESTOPPEL.  Lessee acknowledges and represents that:


 


(a)         Lease Effective. The Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Lease is in full force and effect, the obligations of Lessee thereunder are valid and binding, and there have been no amendments, modifications or additions to the Lease (written or oral), other than those included in the Lease definition set forth above. The Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Property, and Lessee claims no rights to the Property other than as set forth in the Lease.


 


(b)         No Default. As of the date hereof and to the best of Lessee's knowledge, (i) there exists no breach of or default under the Lease, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a breach or default, and (ii) there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets against rental due or to become due under the terms of the Lease.


 


(c)         No Prepaid Rent. No deposits or prepayments of rent have been made in connection with the Lease except as follows:


 



6.    MISCELLANEOUS.



 


(a)         Remedies Cumulative. All remedies provided herein are cumulative, not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law and by other agreements between Bank and Borrower, Lessor or any other person or entity.


 


(b)         Costs, Expenses and Attorneys' Fees. If any party hereto institutes any judicial or administrative action or proceeding to enforce any rights or obligations under this Agreement, or seeking damages or any other judicial or administrative remedy, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the prevailing party's in-house counsel), whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Borrower, Lessee or any other person or entity.


 


(c)         Notices.  All notices, requests and demands which any party is required or may desire to give to any other party under any provision of this Agreement must be in writing delivered to each party at the address set forth below its signature, or to such other address as any party may designate by written notice to all other parties.

At the request of any party hereto, each other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and/or instruments as may be reasonably required by the requesting party in order to carry out the purpose of this Agreement, provided that no such document or instrument shall modify the rights and obligations of the parties set forth herein.


 


(e)         Borrower:  Lessor.  If Borrower and Lessor are the same, each reference in this Agreement to Borrower or Lessor shall be deemed a reference to said person or entity in its respective capacity.


 


(f)         Successors, Assigns: Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, assigns and other transferees of the parties hereto, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
