THESE BASIC LEASE PROVISIONS ARE ALL SUBJECT TO, AND IN SOME CASES FURTHER DEFINED, CLARIFIED, AND AUGMENTED, AS PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE BODY OF THE LEASE BELOW AND, IN SOME CASES, AS ALSO PROVIDED IN THE ATTACHMENTS TO THIS LEASE.

1.3.

	
Tenant’s Percentage Share:  [***]% (for Suite [***]) and [***]% (for Suite [***]) (collectively, [***]% as the “Tenant’s Percentage Share” hereunder) (said Percentage Share shall be adjusted in direct mathematical proportion to the change, in the event the rentable area of the Property is increased or decreased).

1.4.

	
Commencement Date of Lease: The date of initial tender of possession (also herein called the “Tender Date”), which Landlord advises should be: February 1, 2014 (provided, the parties acknowledge that Landlord estimates it shall initially tender possession of the Premises on such date, but subject to the following). However, in the event initial tender of possession is delayed beyond such initially specified or expected date, to a later date (“Later Date of Tender”), then the Commencement Date of Lease shall be such actual date of initial tender and the Rent Commencement Date defined below, the Expiration Date of Lease, and the Abatement Period End Date, each as defined or set forth below, shall each be extended to a new date which is the same number of days thereafter (in each case), as the number of days that the Later Date of Tender falls after the date initially specified above; provided, however, in the event the Later Date of Tender is more than sixty (60) days past the Effective Date of this Lease, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord if such notice is given within ten (10) days after the conclusion of such sixty (60) day period, time being strictly of the essence; failing which no further right of termination under this Paragraph 1.4 provision shall exist.













	
  

	
Following the tender of possession of Premises to Tenant, Tenant and Landlord shall promptly execute and deliver to a written memorandum reflecting the date of initial occupancy and confirming the Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date, Expiration Date of the Lease and the Abatement Period End Date and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request.













	
1.5. 

	
Expiration Date of Lease:  January 31, 2024.













	
1.6.

	
Rent Commencement: February 1, 2014 (“Rent Commencement Date”). Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in an “as is” condition and acknowledges that no representations with respect to the condition of the Premises have been made by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord conditionally waives the obligation of Tenant to pay the installment of Basic Rent (“Abated Rent”) attributable to the period (“Abatement Period”) which commences upon the Rent Commencement Date and which concludes on January 31, 2015 ("Abatement Period End Date"), conditioned upon Tenant complying in good faith with its obligations under this Lease and remaining free of any Event of Default.  The first month’s payable rent required by this Lease to be paid upon initial execution of this Lease shall be held in accordance with Section 24 of this Lease until such rents are applied toward rents hereunder due after the foregoing Abatement Period has transpired. Tenant’s obligation to pay all other charges including its Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and any other item of additional rent due under the Lease shall not be abated during the Abatement Period and shall be due and payable in full as otherwise specified in this Lease without reference to any such abatement.

DEFINITIONS:  Unless the context otherwise specifies or requires, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:













	
2.1.

Common Areas are areas within and outside of the buildings on the Property, such as pedestrian walkways, patios, landscaped areas, sidewalks, service corridors, elevators, restrooms, stairways, decorative walls, plazas, mall throughways, loading areas, parking areas and roads.













	
2.2.

	
Rent: Basic Rent and Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses collectively constitute “Rent” hereunder.

All costs of operating, servicing, administering, repairing and maintaining the Property include any reasonable and necessary costs of operation, maintenance and repair, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis (“GAAP”), and will include by way of illustration, but not limitation:

3.           PREMISES:








	
3.1.

	
Lease of Premises:  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the term and subject to the agreements, covenants, conditions and provisions set forth in this Lease, to which Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually agree, the premises (the “Premises”) described in Paragraphs 1.1 and 1.2 above.












3.2.           Property:  The Premises are a part of the Property (the “Property”) described in Paragraph 1.  Landlord may increase, reduce or change the number, dimensions or locations of the walks, buildings, mall areas, parking and other Common Areas and other improvements located in the Property in any manner that Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall deem proper.  Landlord further reserves the right to make alterations and/or additions to and to build or cause to be built additional stories on the building in which the Premises are situated and to add any buildings adjoining the Premises or elsewhere in the Property.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may add additional department stores, retail shops, building and parking decks anywhere in the Property.  Landlord reserves the right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits and wires leading through the Premises and serving other parts of the Property in a manner that will not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.  Landlord will also have the right to increase and expand the size of the Property by adding additional land, buildings and other structures to the Property.  Landlord shall have the right to change the Property’s name without notice, to change the Property’s street address upon 90 days prior notice, to grant to any person or entity the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in or to the Property, provided such exclusive right shall not operate to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the purpose set forth in Paragraph 1, to retain at all times master keys or passkeys to the Premises, and to place such signs, notices or displays as Landlord reasonably deems necessary or desirable upon the roof and exterior of the Property.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, the exercise by Landlord (which for purposes hereof shall include their respective agents, employees, contractors, designees or Lender) of any right pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision in this Lease, including Landlord's right to make changes or revisions to the Common Areas and/or Property or Landlord’s performance of any obligation under this Lease shall not materially adversely interfere with access to the Premises and further shall not (more than temporarily) materially adversely affect the visibility, size, configuration or location of the Premises. Landlord shall use diligence and commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with or interrupt Tenant's business or use of the Premises by the exercise of any of its rights or performance of its obligations under this Lease and in cases of temporary circumstances including prosecution of work or alterations any such interference or interruption would occur, Landlord shall make reasonable accommodations and temporary reasonable changes to avoid such interferences or interruptions, such as, without limitation, the clear marking of alternative paths of travel for vehicles and/or pedestrians around construction or staging areas and alternative reasonably convenient temporary additional or replacement parking areas. If due to construction, alteration, remodeling, or other exercise of Landlord's rights or performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant in its reasonable business judgment, is unable to conduct its business operation in all or any part the Premises for a period in excess of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours, and if for such reason Tenant in fact ceases its business operations in the Premises or a portion thereof for such period of time and then notifies Landlord in writing that it has done so for this reason, then (notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary), Base Rent, and all other charges due Landlord from Tenant hereunder shall proportionately abate (based upon the portion of the Premises rendered unusable and in fact not being used for such reason) from the date of giving of such written notice until Tenant is again, in Tenant's reasonable business judgment, able to conduct its business in the entire Premises. Landlord shall promptly and efficiently repair any damage to the Premises and/or Tenant’s property caused or occasioned by Landlord’s entry into the Premises or resulting from Landlord’s exercise of any right or performance of any obligation under the Lease.

(a)

	
establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations applicable to all tenants concerning the maintenance, management, use and operation of the Common Areas, so long as such rules and regulations do not materially and adversely affect the rights of Tenant hereunder and do not conflict with any provision of this Lease;

Sales Tax; Additional Rent:  If now or in the future ever applicable: In addition to the Basic Rent, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord monthly all sales or use taxes or excise taxes imposed or levied by the State in which the Property is located or any other governmental body or agency against any rent or any other charge or payment required hereunder to be made by Tenant to Landlord. All sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, including, without limitation, sales tax and Tenant’s percentage share of Operating Expenses, shall be additional rent which Tenant shall be obligated to pay. Landlord shall have the same remedies for default in the payment of additional rent as are available to Landlord in the case of a default in the payment of Basic Rent.












6.           OPERATING EXPENSES:








	
6.1.

	
Operating Expenses Rent:  In addition to Basic Rent, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Percentage Share, as specified in Paragraph 1 above, of the Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in such year in excess of the Operating Expenses for the Base Year (“Operating Expenses Rent”). In addition to Operating Expenses Rent, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord an administrative charge equal to [***] of the Operating Expenses Rent (after excluding therefrom all taxes and special assessments, insurance premiums and utilities), to be paid concurrently with Tenant’s payment of Operating Expenses Rent; provided, however, Landlord shall not include such administrative fee or any other management type fee as an Operating Expense.













	
6.2.

	
Payment:  During December of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord will give Tenant written notice of its estimate (line item and detailed support included) of Operating Expenses Rent for the ensuing calendar year.  On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant will pay to Landlord 1/12th of such estimated amounts, provided that if such notice is not given in December, Tenant will continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given (whereupon any deficiency in what was paid for the preceding months of such year, shall also be due and such notice shall be retroactively effective accordingly).  If at any time or times it appears to Landlord that the amounts payable for Operating Expenses Rent for the current calendar year will vary from its estimate by more than [***], Landlord, by written notice to Tenant, will revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year will be in an amount so that by the end of such year Tenant will have paid a total sum equal to such revised estimate.  Landlord will indicate in its notice to Tenant the reasons Landlord believes its estimate is low by more than [***].

6.3.

	
Statement:  Within 180 days after the close of each calendar year or as soon after such 180 day period as practicable, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a statement of amounts of Operating Expenses Rent payable under this Lease for such calendar year.  If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant will pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after delivery of the statement.  If the total of the estimated monthly installments paid by Tenant during any Calendar Year exceeds the actual amount due from Tenant for such Calendar Year and provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, such excess shall, at Landlord’s option, be either credited against payments next due hereunder or refunded by Landlord to Tenant (such refund made to Tenant if the Lease has expired without default then pending).  Tenant has the right, exercisable no more than once each calendar year on reasonable notice and at a time reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to cause an audit to be performed but only by a professional who is not compensated on a contingency basis at Tenant’s sole cost and expense of Landlord’s operations and/or books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses for the preceding two (2) calendar years.  Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, may provide an audit prepared by a certified public accountant in lieu of allowing Tenant to audit Landlord’s operations and/or books.  In the event Landlord has overstated Operating Expenses by more than [***], within 30 days after demand therefor by Tenant accompanied by Tenant’s verification of such overcharges and paid invoices, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all overcharges and the costs of such audit and verification incurred by Tenant (but such costs of such audit and verification shall be in an amount not to exceed [***] and limited to actual professional fees incurred, and thus excluding such additional costs as travel, meals, lodging and materials).













	
6.4.

	
Proration:  If for any reason other than the default of Tenant, this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of Operating Expenses Rent payable by Tenant applicable to the calendar year in which such termination occurs will be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of such calendar year to and including such termination date bears to 365.













	
6.5.

	
Computation:  Tenant’s Percentage Share of the Operating Expenses is the proportion that the rentable square footage occupied by Tenant bears to the total rentable square footage of the Property, as determined from time to time by Landlord.













	
6.6.

	
Taxes Payable by Tenant:  Tenant shall be directly responsible for taxes upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant other than the initial improvements to be installed at Landlord’s expense regardless of whether title to such improvements is in Tenant or Landlord.

Within 5 days after written request by Landlord, Tenant will furnish to Landlord the license numbers assigned to its cars and the cars of all of its authorized representatives.

Landlord may withhold said approval in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.  Landlord must also approve Tenant’s signage contractor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  The installation and maintenance of any signs or other advertising matter will at all times be in strict compliance with any and all laws.  If at any time Tenant’s signs are not in compliance with any and all laws, Landlord shall have the right to remove or otherwise cause such signs to be in compliance.  Tenant shall promptly upon demand by Landlord pay Landlord for all of Landlord’s reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in such removal or other action, which such costs and expenses shall constitute additional rent hereunder.  Upon expiration or the termination of this Lease, Tenant, at Landlord’s election but at Tenant’s expense, will remove any and all signs and restore the exterior of the Premises or wherever Tenant has installed signs in a manner satisfactory to Landlord.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING; ENCUMBRANCE:  Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises without prior written consent of the Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being understood that it shall be reasonable for Landlord, among other things, to withhold consent if Landlord is not satisfied with the financial responsibility, identity, reputation or business character of the proposed assignee or sublessee.

In the event of an assignment, contemporaneously with the granting of Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall cause the assignee to expressly assume in writing and agree to perform all of the covenants, duties and obligations of Tenant hereunder and such assignee shall be jointly and severally liable therefore along with Tenant.  No usage of the Premises different from the usage provided for in Paragraph 1 above shall be permitted, and all other terms and provisions of the Lease shall continue to apply after such assignment or sublease.  Tenant shall not make or consent to any conditional, contingent or deferred assignment of some or all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.  Tenant shall not enter into, execute or deliver any financing or security agreement that can be given priority over any mortgage given by Landlord or its successors, and, in the event Tenant does so execute or deliver such financing or security agreement, such action on the part of Tenant shall be considered a breach of the terms and conditions of this Lease and a default by Tenant entitling Landlord to such remedies as are provided for in this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part, Landlord’s rights and obligations hereunder and in the Property and the Premises.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Tenant may, without Landlord's consent or other condition (other than herein expressly provided), assign this Lease or sublet the Premises to: (a) any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Tenant or any subsidiary or affiliate of any parent of Tenant, or (b) Tenant's successor by merger, consolidation, acquisition of all of Tenant’s assets for all of its operations or of all of the stock of Tenant (herein each a “Permitted Transfer”) provided written notice of such event shall be given to Landlord within a reasonable period of time thereafter (not to exceed 30 days) and provided the principals with continued management / operating responsibilities will either remain the same or such management and operating responsibilities shall remain vested in duly qualified, competent and experienced personnel (the “Competent Control Condition”); and provided that no such circumstance shall in any way diminish, impair, reduce, or otherwise negatively affect the full force and effect of this Lease and any guaranties of this Lease (and in case of any guaranties of this Lease, the guarantors thereunder shall in writing confirm that their guaranty remains in full force and effect). Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the following shall not be deemed an assignment, sublease or transfer for purposes of this Lease so long as Tenant remains in compliance with the Competent Control Condition: Tenant or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Tenant going from a publicly held corporation to a privately held corporation; any public or private offering of Tenant’s or Tenant’s parent’s, subsidiary’s or affiliate’s stock or  American Depository Receipts; any transfer of corporate shares or American Depository Receipts by gift, bequest or inheritance by and between or among present shareholders of Tenant or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Tenant or to their immediate family (i.e. spouses, parents, siblings, children or grandchildren); the sale, issuance or transfer of any capital stock or American Depository Receipts of Tenant or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Tenant traded on any stock exchange or over the counter market or any exchange subject to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

LANDLORD DEFAULT:  Landlord shall be in default under this Lease (herein "Landlord's Default") upon the failure or refusal of Landlord, at any time during the Term, to fulfill or perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of Landlord hereunder if such failure or refusal shall continue without correction for a period of thirty (30) days (or such shorter period of time as reasonable in an emergency or such longer period as reasonably necessary as provided below) after written notice thereof to Landlord, provided that if such covenant, agreement or obligation shall be of such a nature that it cannot be reasonably fulfilled or performed within such thirty (30) days exercising due diligence and if Landlord in good faith commences to fulfill or perform same within said thirty (30) day period, a Landlord’s Default shall not be deemed to have occurred if Landlord is then diligently pursuing the fulfillment or performance of the covenant, agreement or obligation and shall thereafter continuously and diligently proceed therewith until completion. Tenant shall have all remedies at law and in equity upon any such Landlord Default, subject to the following. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Lease, should Landlord breach any of its duties or obligations to Tenant in respect of any Landlord-required repair actions within or to the Premises itself only, and if Tenant reasonably concludes that an emergency situation exists in or to the Premises which materially jeopardizes Tenant’s ability to operate business (including imminent harm to person or property), Tenant shall provide such written notice and time for Landlord to cure as may be practicable under the circumstances and Tenant in such circumstances only, where Landlord does not timely then commence the cure and prosecute same with reasonable diligence toward completion, may take such action as is reasonably necessary to begin to remedy such emergency situation so as to mitigate damages and losses, pending Landlord’s undertaking action as required under this Lease, but taking same to completion where (if) Landlord does not undertake the effort in a reasonable time under the circumstances (and the parties acknowledge that under emergency circumstances it is possible to reasonably conclude that very little notice is sufficient due to such exigency).  In connection therewith, provided Tenant is not in default or violation of this Lease of which written notice has been given (and if so, not until such default or violation has been cured), Landlord shall promptly thereafter reimburse Tenant following submission of reasonable documentation evidencing the reasonable actual expenses reasonably so incurred by Tenant (including paid receipts therefor so as to assure Landlord of repairs having been performed in a good and workman-like manner to lien-free completion) in taking only such action herein permitted which was otherwise required of Landlord; provided further, however, notwithstanding this sentence, no such action may be taken by Tenant in respect of the roof except Tenant may take certain reasonable non-structural non-invasive non-damaging measures to mitigate its losses, such as having a tarp or other covering or similar temporary protection installed or placed but only while exercising commercially reasonable care in good faith to try to avoid further damaging the roof or voiding any roof warranty or bond; and provided further under no circumstances may Tenant take a rental off-set or abatement in respect of any cost, expense or reimbursement so incurred or otherwise due Tenant hereunder, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord’s failure to reimburse same being limited to an action for damages against Landlord (and the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, such prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred in the prosecution or defense of such an action (as applicable), through and including appellate levels). Under no circumstances shall any provision of this Lease be deemed or construed to consent to or otherwise permit Tenant to take any such actions outside of its Premises (other than as to the roof as aforesaid and other than against the immediate exterior if the situation qualifies otherwise hereunder for such self-help attention).







 



	
28.

	
LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S PERSONAL LIABILITY:  Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Property including income therefrom (such as but not limited to rent) and all net proceeds of sale on execution of the interest of Landlord in the Property, for the recovery of any judgment from Landlord, it being agreed that Landlord (and any officers, shareholders, directors or employees of Landlord) shall never be personally liable for any such judgment. In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Property, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or implied, contained in this Lease in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease.  Except as set forth in this Article, this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee.  If any security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord shall transfer or deliver (including by means of a closing credit in connection with a sale so as to cause the successor to be deemed to take a transfer of) said security, as such, to Landlord's successor in interest and, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.

29.

	
ATTORNEYS’ FEES: In the event Tenant defaults in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease and Landlord places the enforcement of this Lease or the collection of any rent due or to become due hereunder or recovery of the possession of the Premises in the hands of an attorney, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  If there is any legal action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant to enforce any provision of this Lease or to protect or establish any right or remedy of either Landlord or Tenant hereunder, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding will pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of Landlord’s in-house attorney), incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding and in any appearance in connection therewith, and if such prevailing party recovers a judgment in any such action, proceeding or appeal, such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees will be determined by the court handling the proceeding and will be included in and as a part of such judgment.













	
29.

	
WAIVER:  No failure of Landlord to enforce any term hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver.













	
30.

	
SEVERABILITY:  If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof, then it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and it is also the intention of both parties that in lieu of each clause or provision that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added as a part of this Lease, a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.













	
31.

	
NOTICES:  All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder must be in writing, and be (i) personally delivered (including by means of professional messenger service), (ii) sent by overnight courier, with request for next Business Day delivery, or (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the addresses set forth in Paragraph 1.  All notices sent by mail will be deemed received 2 days after the date of mailing or upon delivery or refusal of delivery.













	
32.

	
HOLDING OVER:  Any holding over after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be construed as a month-to-month tenancy at a rental of 200% (but, same shall be 150% for the first thirty (30) days of any such holding over if the parties are then in good faith engaged in negotiations to finalize a term extension) of the rent for the month of the Lease preceding the month in which the expiration or termination occurred, and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, as applicable.  In the event Tenant shall be or become a holdover tenant, Tenant shall also indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages against Landlord as a result of Tenant’s possession of the Premises, including, without limitation, claims for damages by any tenant to whom Landlord may have leased the Premises, or any portion thereof, for a term commencing after the expiration or termination of this Lease.













	
33.

	
TIME:  Time is of the essence of this Lease.













	
34.

	
HEIRS, ASSIGNS, SUCCESSORS:  This Lease is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the assigns and successors in interest of Landlord and is binding upon and inures to the benefit of Tenant and Tenant’s heirs and successors and, to the extent assignment may be approved by Landlord hereunder, Tenant’s assigns.













	
35.

	
SUBORDINATION:  This Lease is and shall always be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgages which are now or shall at any future time be placed upon the Property, the Premises or Landlord’s rights hereunder, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications or consolidations of any such mortgage.  This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination need be required by any mortgagee.  In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant, at Landlord’s request, shall execute promptly any appropriate certificate or instrument that Landlord may reasonably request. If there currently (as of the date of execution of this Lease) exists a mortgage or other encumbrance of the Property securing debt of Landlord, then, Tenant and Landlord's mortgagee shall enter into the lender’s form of subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement in recordable form reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord's mortgagee, which provides that in any event of foreclosure, sale under power of sale, ground or master lease termination or transfer in lieu of any the foregoing or exercise of any other remedy pursuant to such mortgage: (a) Tenant’s use, possession and enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period and so long as Tenant attorns to such successor and agrees to and in fact does pay rents and charges hereunder due Landlord, to such successor, and (b) this Lease shall automatically and unconditionally become a direct lease between any successor to Landlord’s interest, as landlord, and Tenant as if such successor was the Landlord originally named hereunder.

(B) Tenant shall promptly (but in any case within forty-five (45) days after the date of initial tender of possession of the Premises, time being strictly of the essence), deliver to Landlord in writing a notice, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, should Tenant determine that, at such time of initial tender of the Premises, any of the said plumbing and/or electrical systems are not in good working order (herein, a circumstance where the said plumbing and/or electrical systems or any part thereof “Lacks Good Systems Order”), specifying in such written notice with detail Tenant reasonably can give, exactly what facts or circumstances observed by Tenant give rise to Tenant’s assertion that a Lacks Good Systems Order circumstance pertains. Where Tenant timely so notifies Landlord in the time and manner noted above, time being strictly of the essence, that such a Lacks Good Systems Order circumstance pertains, then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, Landlord shall at its expense repair such plumbing and/or electrical systems so as to put same back into good working order so long as no such repair or action by Landlord is required by reason of Tenant’s work or actions taken in or to such plumbing and/or electrical systems. (C) Tenant shall promptly (but in any case within one (1) year after the date of initial tender of possession of the Premises, time being strictly of the essence), deliver to Landlord in writing a notice, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, should Tenant determine that, at such time of initial tender of the Premises or any subsequent time during such year, any of the said HVAC systems are not in good working order (herein, a circumstance where the said systems or any part thereof “Lacks Good HVAC Order”), specifying in such written notice with detail Tenant reasonably can give, exactly what facts or circumstances observed by Tenant give rise to Tenant’s assertion that a Lacks Good HVAC Order circumstance pertains. Where Tenant timely so notifies Landlord in the time and manner noted above, time being strictly of the essence, that such a Lacks Good HVAC Order circumstance pertains, then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, Landlord shall at its expense repair such HVAC systems so as to put same back into good working order so long as no such repair or action by Landlord is required by reason of Tenant’s work or actions taken in or to such HVAC systems.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ALL STATEMENTS CONCERNING HVAC ARE MODIFIED AS SET OUT ON THE “SLIP PAGE” 26.5 ATTACHED AND THE TERMS OF SUCH SLIP PAGE INSTEAD SHALL GOVERN THE PARTIES’ OBLIGATIONS.







SS-2           GENERATOR: Landlord does hereby consent to the construction and installation of an electrical generator either powered by natural gas or diesel fuel or other generally accepted method (the “Generator”) by Tenant to exclusively serve the Premises, subject to the following terms and conditions:







(a)  The cost and expense of installing, constructing, maintaining, operating and removing the Generator shall be the sole cost and expense of Tenant.  Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with such Generator, including, without limitation, any utility costs, and Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Building resulting from the installation, construction, maintenance, operation and removal of such Generator.







(b) The nature, type, kind, manufacturer, technical specifications, size, including screening, height and location, and other specifications of the Generator shall be subject to reasonable approval by Landlord prior to Tenant’s installation of the Generator and such approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant’s plans and specifications for the installation of the Generator and the surrounding screening for review and approval by Landlord’s engineer not less than thirty (30) days prior to commencing installation of the Generator.







(c)  Tenant shall have the right to install and use the Generator and to use the electrical current supplied from the Generator provided that: (i) Tenant’s construction and placement of the Generator is in substantial conformity with the plans and specifications previously approved by Landlord in writing; (ii) Tenant’s connection to and use of the Generator shall comply with and not violate any applicable laws, rules, regulations or ordinances including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations as to Hazardous Substances; and (iii) at the expiration or the sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove the Generator and any other connections to the Generator and restore the Generator site to its condition prior to Tenant’s installation thereof, free of any hazardous materials or other environmental contamination ("Tenant's Restoration Obligation"). If Tenant fails to satisfy Tenant's Restoration Obligation after five (5) business days prior written notice to Tenant, in addition to any other rights and remedies of Landlord, Landlord shall be permitted to satisfy Tenant's Restoration Obligation and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord its actual costs and expenses in connection therewith ("Landlord's Self Help Remedy").  In the event the Generator creates any unsafe or hazardous condition, Tenant shall move and/or relocate the generator to a more suitable location to alleviate any unsafe or hazardous condition at its own expense.

(d)  To the extent visible from public areas, Tenant shall install the Generator in an aesthetically pleasing manner and exercise all reasonable steps to shield or screen the Generator from public view.  Tenant shall fence or screen the Generator so as to minimize any risks and to ensure that the Generator does not create a nuisance and the design and operation of the Generator shall be such as to avoid material interference with other tenants. All installation of the Generator or other construction work shall be completed by a qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant.







(e)  Without limitation and in addition to any other release and indemnification provision contained in the Lease, Tenant hereby releases Landlord its principals, officers, directors, agents, contractors, employees, managing agents and lenders from and against any liability, claim, loss, cost, damage, injury and expense of whatever kind arising directly or indirectly from Tenant's installation of the Generator and related Generator equipment, or from Tenant’s use of the Generator or from any failure of the Generator or related system or equipment to provide power or for any damage, injury or loss to equipment or data which is connected to the Generator or for any damage, injury or loss to any equipment or data which is connected to the Generator or for any failure of the Generator or other related equipment to comply with any applicable laws, rules, regulations or ordinances or Landlord's or Tenant’s exercise of any rights or remedies afforded to it, in connection with the Generator, pursuant to the Lease (collectively, the "Released Claims").  Further, Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Landlord, their principals, officers, directors, agents, contractors, employees, managing agents and lenders harmless from and against any liability, claim, loss, cost, damage and expense of whatever kind arising directly or indirectly from, arising out of or related to the Released Claims, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and consultant fees, except to the extent such liability, claim, loss, cost, damage or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Tenant, their employees, agents or contractors.  The release and indemnity provisions of this provision shall survive termination of the Lease.  Tenant shall keep in force at all times the Generator is in existence at the Premises, such Commercial General Liability insurance policy or policies (which complies with the other requirements of the Lease) to protect the Landlord against any liability to the public or to any invitee of Tenant or Landlord incidental to the use of the Generator or resulting from any accident occurring in or upon the Premises with limit of not less than the amounts specified for insurance in this Lease.







(f)  Tenant shall periodically inspect the Generator to identify any conditions that are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair.  Tenant shall, as a matter of information only, promptly provide Landlord with notice of any dangerous conditions.







(g)  Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining, at its expense, all required permits, approvals, and certificates from all governmental authorities having or claiming jurisdiction with respect to the location, connection and operation of the Generator, and for compliance with all laws applicable thereto, including the installation of any required venting and noise suppression devices.  Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Generator or any other associated equipment which Landlord permits Tenant to locate or install in such licensed area generates noise which disturbs other occupants of the Property, excepting noise generated on a short-term, incidental basis due to a general interruption in electricity service to the Premises, then Tenant shall install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, sound attenuated acoustic enclosures reasonably satisfactory to Landlord designed to reduce such noise or reduce such noise to acceptable levels.  Tenant agrees to perform its periodic Generator testing during hours that other tenants of the Property are closed for business.







(h)  The generator pad shall have such curbing as is necessary to contain any fuel spill; provided, Tenant shall not store on-site, whether above or underground, fuel for the operation of such generator and such generator may not operate on liquid petroleum distillates such as gasoline, but instead may only operate with natural gas or other compressed gas fuel. Under no circumstances shall any underground storage tanks be installed.  The design and operation of the Generator shall be such as to avoid material interference with other tenants and the standards, plans, points of entry of connecting lines, wires and/or conduits and the like, and all other installation criteria shall all be subject to Landlord’s reasonable advance approval. The Generator shall be used only for periodic testing and in the event of such power outages noted above. All indemnity provisions of the Lease are deemed applicable so as to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all loss, cost, fines, penalties or other damages arising out of or in connection with the installation, use, operation and removal of the Generator including expressly and without limitation all manner of environmental liabilities there from arising.

SS-3           SATELLITE DISH / ANTENNA: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Special Stipulation 3, and subject to the approval of any applicable private associations whose rights are evidenced of Public Record (if any), Tenant shall have the right to install a satellite dish, microwave antenna or other similar equipment on the roof of Building in a location selected by Landlord or at another location designated by Landlord. Except as otherwise provided herein, all provisions of the Lease shall be deemed applicable to the said installation, subject to the limited use and purpose of same as herein contemplated. Tenant shall not sell or rent time on or use such equipment to other occupants of the Building or any other third parties.  Such equipment shall be installed accordance with plans and specifications prepared by Tenant and approved by Landlord and in accordance with all applicable building codes, and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any additional utility service required by said equipment. Once so approved by Landlord in writing, such installation shall be prosecuted with commercially reasonable diligence to completion within thirty (30) days. Tenant shall be responsible in determining the sufficiency of the roof structure to support the live and static load of the said installation. No logo, business or similar image or design, or trade name, or similar written feature (other than ordinary brand name imprints of the equipment), shall be visible upon any surface of any such equipment or installation and no surface thereof may be used for promotional or advertising purposes. Such equipment shall be properly screened so as to not be visible from the common areas of the Building or Property. No roof penetrations shall be permitted. Nonetheless if for any reason Landlord does consent to any level of installation that involves any degree of roof penetration, then, any such roof penetrations in the roof of the Premises or the Building shall be made by Landlord's roofing contractor at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a letter from the roofing contractor stating that such work has not affected the roof bond or guaranty for the roof of Building, as applicable. All access to the roof shall be coordinated with Landlord.  Tenant shall maintain said equipment in a good state of repair and shall protect, defend, indemnify, save and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses, including attorneys' fees, resulting from, or in connection with, the erection, maintenance, existence or removal of such equipment; and shall repair any damage which may have been caused by the erection, maintenance, existence or removal of such equipment. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining the consent of all regulatory license commissions and government agencies before erecting any such equipment, and thereafter maintaining such consent. No consent here given shall operate as an assurance or warranty that the said installation or equipment is permitted by law. Under no circumstances will Tenant permit the operation of the installation and its equipment to interfere with or otherwise impede the operations of any other communications, electronic transmission or other similar systems operating in, to or from the Property.  Any taxes or assessments or increases in insurance costs levied or arising against or in connection with the Building or Landlord or the Property because of the existence of such equipment shall be Tenant's sole responsibility to pay in full upon invoice therefor. Upon vacating the Premises, Tenant shall remove such equipment and repair all damage caused by such removal and dispose of the equipment and other installation items so removed, off-site.  Where Tenant fails to remove same upon expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant shall be liable for the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord to effectuate the removal and disposal as otherwise herein required of Tenant. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.







SS-4           EXCLUSIVE:  (A) During the term of this Lease (as the same may be extended or earlier terminated), provided Tenant is not in default or violation of any term or condition of this Lease beyond any thereto applicable curative period, and only for so long as Tenant has not ceased operating in substantially all of the Premises during Property normal reasonable business hours and days, Landlord agrees hereafter (that is, after the Effective Date of this Lease) not to enter into any lease for space in the Property owned by Landlord, with any tenant operating primarily as a blood plasma donation center. Any such operation in violation of the foregoing exclusive would be herein called a “Competing User”; subject however to the following terms and conditions. In addition to the foregoing agreement whereby Landlord shall not enter into any lease, Landlord further agrees not to enter into any modification of an existing lease for any space in the Property owned by Landlord in contravention of the foregoing provisions of this SS-4 unless by the terms of such existing lease Landlord is contractually or legally obligated to do so. However, notwithstanding anything in this Lease, nothing contained in this SS-4 shall limit, impair or otherwise affect (i) Landlord's leases (existing as of the date of full execution and delivery hereof), tenants thereunder, and their successors and assigns or their uses or permitted uses under their leases, as extended, renewed, relocated, assigned, transferred, sublet, substituted or replaced or (ii) any portions of the Property which are not owned by Landlord.  (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event Landlord is in violation of this SS-4 (a “Competing User Violation”), irrespective of whether or not such party whose acts give rise to a Competing User Violation is a “Rogue Tenant” (meaning, a tenant acting in violation of its lease), then, Tenant shall, as an express condition precedent to the right to exercise any remedies, deliver written notice to Landlord thereof and allow Landlord an opportunity of at least thirty (30) days within which to remedy the violation (but such time frame shall be extended to the extent Landlord is in good faith prosecuting its efforts to bring about a cessation of such Competing User Violation, including without limitation the prosecution of litigation against such tenant; herein any such efforts throughout such 30 day period or thereafter is called “Remedial Actions”). So long as Landlord is taking such Remedial Actions, Tenant shall not exercise nor be entitled to any other remedy or redress as against Landlord; provided, nothing herein shall limit or impair Tenant’s rights or remedies directly against such Competing User following the first thirty (30) days after such notice is given. If notwithstanding such Remedial Actions by Landlord, the Competing User Violation has not ceased within one hundred eighty (180) following the giving of such notice by Tenant, then, Tenant shall have an ongoing right thereafter (until such violation has ceased or if sooner, until the conclusion of a period three hundred sixty-five [365] days following the conclusion of such initial thirty [30] day period) to terminate the Lease by reason thereof upon written notice (“Termination Notice”), effective at the conclusion of the month following the month during which such Termination Notice is given. (C) Any such Termination Notice so properly and timely given shall provide for a termination effective on the last day of the month following the month during which such notice is delivered to Landlord; but no such Termination Notice may be given after the time when the Competing User Violation has ceased. In case of such a properly and timely given Termination Notice, the Lease shall terminate as aforesaid on the last day of the month following the month during which such Termination Notice is delivered to Landlord, subject to the following.  Any such properly effectuated Termination Notice shall be automatically treated as though the Lease had been amended to modify the date of the natural expiration of the then current term, so that such natural expiration date shall be deemed to be the date of termination arising under such Termination Notice. All terms and conditions of the Lease which control, govern and survive in connection with a natural expiration of the term, shall control, govern and survive in like manner upon a termination so effectuated under this SS-4.

SS-5           TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE FOR SUITE [***] ONLY: In consideration of Tenant performing “Tenant's Work”, defined here as work limited to new carpet and painting (subject to Landlord’s advance reasonably given approval of the carpet and paint including quality of same), provided Tenant is not in default and is current in its payment of all rents and charges due under the Lease, then, Tenant shall be granted a tenant allowance in the amount of up to [***], to be used by Tenant solely in connection with the Tenant’s Work improvements to the Suite [***] portion of the Premises only and for the purchase of up to [***] of furniture to be used in connection with Tenant's Permitted Use of the Premises ("Tenant Improvement Allowance" or also herein called “Landlord’s Contribution”), paid by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days of the last to occur of the following (but such amount first shall be reduced in any event by the construction supervision fee indicated below):  (a) Tenant's completion of Tenant's Work, in a good and workman-like manner and in accordance with all requirements of law and “code” and in compliance with all previously secured approvals from Landlord concerning same as having been previously submitted to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval, all as reasonably determined by Landlord or Landlord's architect, in a lien-free condition, and (b) Landlord's receipt of a release and waiver of lien, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, executed by Tenant's contractor or contractors, covering (that is, referring to) every subcontractor, laborer and material supplier supplying labor and/or materials of Tenant's Work, as well as any other documentation including similar lien releases if and as required by Landlord from all such subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, suppliers and any other party who by law may have the right to lien the job for non-payment provided Landlord will reasonably relax the foregoing standards where paid invoices reasonably will suffice to evidence such expenditures, and (c) Tenant shall have caused the completion of Tenant's Work in accordance with the said approved plans and specifications and all provisions of the Lease, and (d) Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord all of the following: (i) Tenant's written statement that Landlord is not in default to date (or stating any defaults claimed) and that Tenant reserves no claims, offsets or backcharges (or stating those claimed) together with paid invoices or other receipts evidencing Tenant has incurred expenses directly in the prosecution of its Tenant’s Work to the Premises in an amount at least equal to the Tenant Improvement Allowance (or, if same evidence such expenditures in an aggregate amount which is less than the above stated Tenant Improvement Allowance, then the Tenant Improvement Allowance hereunder shall automatically adjust to such lower value of actual expenditures). In any case the Tenant Improvement Allowance also shall be reduced by the construction supervision fee of an amount not to exceed three (3%) percent of the maximum Tenant Improvement Allowance hereunder to reimburse Landlord and any professionals or others charged with ordinary construction supervision tasks, (ii) any monies owing to Landlord, (iii) all certificates and approvals with respect to Tenant's Work that may be required by any governmental authorities as a condition for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and such certificate of occupancy (all if and as applicable), and (iv) all certifications of insurance required under the Lease, and (e) Tenant shall have complied with any and all other requirements reasonably imposed by Landlord. Notwithstanding any other term or condition hereof, Tenant acknowledges that the foregoing conditions to Landlord’s obligation to disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance must be satisfied by Tenant by no later than November 30, 2014, time being strictly of the essence in respect thereof.

[***]












The following is deemed incorporated onto the site plan sketch here pictured: This Schedule is diagrammatic and is intended only for the purpose of indicating the approximate location of constructed areas comprising the Property and the approximate location of the Premises therein, and for the purposes of indicating approximately the boundaries of the Property. It does not in any way supersede any of Landlord’s rights set forth in the Lease, including in respect of arrangements and/or locations of shared-use parts of the common areas and changes in such arrangements and/or locations, including without limitation parking areas; and Landlord expressly reserves the right to make changes in the location of buildings or constructed improvements including adding thereto, diminishing therefrom, relocating same, adding stories thereto, reconfiguring same, converting landscaping to additional parking, modifying boundaries and access ways of the Property or otherwise. Areas reflected as or which are drainage, pond, lake and/or “Not a Part” or “Not Included” or similar words (if any) are or may be excluded from the Property but Landlord may in the future elect to incorporate some or all of the same at any time (to the extent excluded). It is not to be scaled; any measurements or distances shown or parking counts should be taken as approximate. Dimensions indicated (if any) are not exact nor to scale and in any case are approximate and are measured to the center line of interior and party walls, and to the exterior face of exterior walls, or lease lines.

SCHEDULE 2







FAIR MARKET RENT / STIPULATED RENT (SUITES [***] AND [***])







SUITE [***]:







The Basic Rent payable by Tenant during any option period (“Option Period Base Rent”) will be the fair market rental value of the portion of the Premises comprising Suite [***], which shall be determined as follows provided if the result of the determination below shall be an amount in excess of 25% higher than the annual Basic Rent due during the last year of the immediately preceding Term (or Option Term as applicable), then, the lesser value (that is, an amount which is 25% higher than the annual Basic Rental for the last year of the immediately preceding Term or Option Term, shall instead be deemed the Fair Market Rent determination hereunder):








	
(i)

	
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice to exercise its option to extend the Term, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a written statement of Landlord’s determination of the fair market rental value of the Premises (the "Market Rental Rate"). If Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of the Market Rental Rate for the Premises, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, notify Landlord in writing that Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, whereupon Landlord and Tenant shall meet and endeavor in good faith to agree upon the Market Rental Rate for the applicable option term.  If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within twenty (20) business days after Tenant’s notice, then, within twenty (20) days thereafter, each party, at its own cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a licensed commercial real estate broker with at least seven (7) years full-time experience as a real estate broker active in the leasing of commercial space or appraising properties in the City of Marietta and surrounding areas. Market Rental Rate shall be based on prevailing rates for leases of retail space similar to and in the vicinity of the Premises, including any savings to Landlord by virtue of Landlord's not having to pay additional tenant improvement or inducement costs, or pay additional brokers’ commissions and any savings to Tenant by not having to pay so-called “key money” if then a fair market term, but shall not reflect the value added to the Premises by virtue of tenant improvements made by Tenant at its expense. If a party does not appoint a broker within the aforementioned period, the single broker appointed shall determine the Market Rental Rate for the applicable option term. If there are two (2) brokers appointed by the parties as stated above, the brokers shall meet within twenty (20) days after the second agent has been appointed and attempt to determine the Market Rental Rate for the applicable option term.  If they are unable to agree on such Market Rental Rate within twenty (20) days after the second broker has been appointed, they shall, within ten (10) days:  (i) notify all of the parties in writing as to their respective Market Rental Rate determinations, and (ii) select a third broker who shall be a licensed commercial real estate agent meeting the qualifications stated above. If Landlord’s broker and Tenant’s broker are unable to agree on the third broker within such ten (10) day period, then either Landlord or Tenant may request the President of the BOMA Chapter including the area of the Project to select a third broker meeting the qualifications stated in this subsection. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third broker and the third broker’s fee.













	
(ii)

	
Within ten (10) business days after the selection of the third broker, the third broker shall notify both parties in writing as to which of the two determinations is closest to the Market Rental Rate for the applicable option term, and the Market Rental Rate determination so selected by the third broker shall be the Market Rental Rate for the first year of the applicable option term.













	
(iii)

	
Each broker shall consider such information as Landlord and Tenant timely presents regarding the determination of Market Rental Rate for the first year of the applicable option term, and each broker shall be given access to the information used by each other broker.












SUITE [***]:







The Basic Rent payable by Tenant during any First Option Term and any Second Option Term for Suite [***] shall be determined as Fair Market Rent, employing the identical provisions above which are applicable to Suite [***] for Fair Market Rent computation, substituting references to Suite [***] for existing references to Suite [***].

GUARANTY OF LEASE







ANNEXED TO AND FORMING A PART OF THE LEASE DATED January 20, 2014, BETWEEN U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, [***] (“Landlord”) and ADMA Bio Centers Georgia Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).







The undersigned, ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), whose address is set forth below, in consideration of the leasing of the Premises described in the annexed Lease at the [***] in Marietta, Georgia, to the above named Tenant, does hereby covenant and agree as follows:








	
I.

	
If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of the covenants and obligations of said Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed (including payment of all amounts due thereunder), then Guarantor will on demand perform the covenants and obligations of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed and will on demand pay to Landlord any and all sums due to Landlord, including all damages and expenses that may arise in consequence of Tenant’s default, and Guarantor does hereby waive all requirements of notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and all requirements of notice of breach or nonperformance by Tenant.













	
II.

	
This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, for any sum of money owing from Tenant to Landlord.













	
III.

	
Guarantor hereby waives:













	
  

	
A.

	
any right to require that any prior action be brought against Tenant;

any right to require that resort be had to any security or to any other credit in favor of Tenant; and













	
  

	
C.

	
all suretyship defenses generally, and the right to petition for the marshaling of assets.













	
IV.

	
This Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect:













	
  

	
A.

	
as to any renewal, extension, holdover, modification or amendment of the Lease (including any expansion of the Premises and any increase in Tenant’s obligations to Landlord) and this Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect as to the Lease even though Tenant may have subleased all or any portion of the Premises or assigned all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in the Lease.  Guarantor waives notice of any and all such renewals, extensions, holdovers, modifications, amendments, subleases or assignments;













	
  

	
B.

	
even though Landlord may have waived one or more defaults by Tenant, extended the time of performance by Tenant, released, returned or misapplied other collateral given as additional security (including other guaranties) or released Tenant from the performance of its obligation under the Lease;













	
  

	
C.

	
notwithstanding the institution by or against Tenant of bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, receivership or insolvency proceeding of any nature, or the disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings or otherwise; and













	
  

	
D.

	
until such time as Landlord has executed and delivered to Guarantor an instrument specifically releasing Guarantor, Guarantor may not be released by any actions or oral statements of Landlord or by implication.













	
V.

	
If the Lease shall be terminated due to a default by Tenant, Guarantor shall (without in any way limiting its liability under any other provision of this Guaranty), at the request of and within the complete discretion of Landlord, enter into a new Lease with Landlord on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease immediately prior to its termination, commencing on the termination date of said Lease and ending on the expiration date of said Lease; this provision shall not, however, vest Guarantor with any right to demand or require such a new Lease from Landlord.  Landlord shall have sole and absolute discretion as to whether or not such a new lease shall be required.













	
VI.

	
Guarantor shall submit to Landlord annually, or at such other times as Landlord shall request, financial statements and such other financial information as Landlord shall require, which shall be audited by a certified public accountant if required by Landlord; provided no such obligation shall arise where Guarantor is a public company (meaning, a company whose shares are regularly traded on a US national SEC-regulated securities exchange).













	
VII.

	
If Guarantor is a corporation, Guarantor represents and warrants that this Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Guarantor’s part, has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer, and constitutes Guarantor’s valid and legally binding agreement in accordance with its terms.













	
VIII.

	
This Guaranty shall be applicable to and inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor.













	
IX.

	
Guarantor may, at Landlord’s option, be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Landlord against Tenant in connection with and based upon any covenants and obligations in the Lease and/or this Guaranty, and Guarantor waives any demand by Landlord and/or prior action by Landlord of any nature whatsoever against Guarantor.

X.

	
If this Guaranty is signed by more than one party, their obligations shall be joint and several and the release of one of such Guarantors shall not release any other such Guarantors.

SCHEDULE 5







LIST OF EXCLUSIVES OR USE RESTRICTIONS – [***]







The following is a list of prohibited uses including exclusives, use restrictions, and restrictive covenants and limitations and other use limitations affecting and/or arising in respect of tenants or occupants at the above indicated Property. By the attachment of this Exhibit to its lease or lease modification or amendment, this Exhibit is deemed incorporated into such lease and made a part thereof; and in connection therewith, the above noted Tenant under the lease to which this Exhibit relates, hereby covenants and agrees, for the benefit of Landlord and independently also for the benefit of each of the parties below previously having secured the following described exclusive or restriction or other covenants or protections, that, throughout the term(s) of the Lease, including any renewals or extensions, including as the premises may be relocated and including as the lease may be assigned or sublet, the Premises, in whole or in part, will not be used to operate directly or indirectly for any of the business set forth below, and Tenant shall abide by all of, and Tenant shall not violate any of, the following described covenants, restrictions, exclusives or limitations. Tenant further acknowledges that it has carefully studied the following list; and, where any generally stated exclusive or other restriction or limitation or covenant below (which may be a summary rather than the actual quoted language), may reasonably be read to affect Tenant’s expected rights or operations or use, it was incumbent upon Tenant to have made inquiry (and Tenant in fact did make such inquiry to the extent it determined was necessary) to learn the precise language from the specific lease at bar and noted below, before entering into this Lease or Lease modification or amendment, so as to best understand and appreciate precisely what shall govern and control Tenant’s use and operations. References herein or on the attachments to the trade names of tenants shall not be deemed or construed in any respect as a representation or warranty or other assurance that any such tenancy now or in the future exists or shall continue to exist or be open or operating in the Property nor shall closures (other than permanent termination of the applicable lease including termination of any surviving continuing restrictions or limitations noted below) operate or be deemed to diminish or impair the full force and effect of Tenant's obligation to abide by and not violate the following. In addition, no tenant whose exclusive or similar lease provisions are set forth in or otherwise referenced or summarized or expressed in this Exhibit, may rely upon this Exhibit as the basis for its own rights or remedies and such tenant shall look (if at all) only and solely and exclusively to its own written lease for the sole and controlling memorialization of the terms and conditions which govern and control such tenant’s rights and remedies (any bold text below, if any, is by virtue of emphasis added for this Exhibit without suggesting necessarily that same appears in the source text): [***]
