2.                                      PREMISES

 

(a)                                 Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord those premises (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”), described in Section 1(d) hereof and designated on Exhibit “A” attached hereto in the building commonly known as the Higbee Building and located at One Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44113, consisting of approximately 815,119 rentable square feet of floor area (hereinafter referred to as the “Building”), together with the non-exclusive right and easement to use the common facilities located within and/or comprising a part of the Building (the “Common Areas”) which Common Areas are for the use in common with Landlord and the tenants and occupants (their agents, employees, customers and invitees) of the Building.

 

(b)                                 The rentable area of the Premises, as well as the Building shall be computed based upon the 2010 BOMA Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2010, and the rentable area of the Premises, as well as the Building, shall contain a proportionate share of the Common Areas of the

 

3

 

Building, utilizing a common area load factor not to exceed nine and a half percent (9.5%) with respect to the fourth floor and fifteen percent (15%) with respect to the fifth floor.

 

(c)                                  The rentable square foot area of the Premises shall be measured by Landlord’s architect (“Landlord’s Architect”), and Landlord’s Architect shall certify the rentable square foot area to Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant disagrees with the measurement or calculation by Landlord’s architect, an independent architect jointly selected by Landlord and Tenant shall promptly measure the Premises and its determination shall be binding on the parties. In the event such certification or determination shall contain a rentable square foot area different than that previously utilized, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease reflecting the rentable square foot area set forth in such certification and Sections 1(d), 1(h) and 1(k) shall be revised accordingly.

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall be allowed access to the Premises and reasonable portions of the Common Areas twenty-four (24) hours a day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year using card readers, or keys, subject to Section 33 hereof and Exhibit “E” hereto.

 

(e)                                  Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Landlord reserves (i) the right from time to time to make changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Building and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators, escalators and stairways and other parts of the Building, and to erect, maintain, and use pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the Premises, all as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, under no circumstances may Landlord erect any pipes, ducts or conduits in any location within the Premises which interferes with or adversely impacts the use of the Premises, (ii) the right to eliminate, substitute, modify and/or rearrange the Common Areas (which may theretofore have been so designated) as Landlord deems reasonably appropriate, and (iii) change the name, number or designation by which the Building is commonly known, in which event, Tenant will refer to the Building by the name, number or designation as determined by Landlord from time to time. Tenant’s nonexclusive right to utilize the Common Areas shall be in common with Landlord, other tenants and occupants of the Building and others to whom Landlord grants such rights from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, in exercising its rights pursuant to this Section or other provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall (a) not materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s access to or operations in the Premises or Tenant’s use of the Common Areas which remain available for common use, however, the foregoing shall not preclude Landlord from modifying the Building lobby, or modifying or eliminating areas outside of the Building or (b) not materially or adversely increase any obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Under no circumstances shall Landlord undertake any action which materially restricts Tenant’s view out of its windows (including the hanging of any banners or signs). In addition, (w) any replacements, substitutions or alterations by Landlord shall be, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, substantially equivalent to or better than then existing facilities, (x) installations, replacements and relocations shall

 

4

 

be located so far as practicable in the central core area of the Building, above ceiling surfaces, below floor surfaces, within perimeter walls of the Premises or otherwise in boxed enclosures, (y) all work within the Premises by Landlord, other than due to an Emergency (as hereinafter defined) or required by Law (as hereinafter defined), shall be performed at such times and in such manner, as to create the least practicable interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises and (z) no such work by Landlord, other than due to an Emergency or required by Law, shall reduce the square footage of the floor area of the Premises in excess of two percent (2%) per floor of the Premises. Except in the case of Emergencies, Landlord agrees to give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any of the foregoing activities which require work in the Premises.

 

(f)                                   Landlord reserves the right from time to time upon at least ninety (90) days’ advanced written notice, including the proposed relocation date (the “Relocation Notice”), to relocate the portion of Tenant’s Premises located on the fourth floor only to other premises within the Building prior to or during the Term of this Lease; provided (i) the usable area so substituted equals or exceeds the usable area of the fourth floor of the Premises and (ii) the buildout and finish of the replacement space shall be substantially the same as, or better than, the fourth floor of the Premises.

 

3.                                      TERM

 

(a)                                 The term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date. Unless sooner terminated or extended as provided in this Lease, the term of this Lease shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1(g) hereof (the “Term”).

 

(b)                                 Intentionally Deleted

 

(c)                                  From time to time, Tenant shall furnish Landlord, upon request a letter addressed to Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee stating that Tenant has accepted the Premises for occupancy, the Premises have been completed as herein required, and setting forth the Commencement Date of this Lease and such other information relating to the Premises as either Landlord or its mortgagee may reasonably request.

 

(d)                                 (i)                                     Tenant shall have the right, if an Event of Default does not then exist, to extend the Term of this Lease for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each upon the terms and conditions as are stated in this Lease (other than the grant of any extension rights in addition to those provided for in this Section 3(d)) and at Basic Rental equal to the fair market rent for such extension term (as determined pursuant to the terms of this Section 3(d)). Tenant shall exercise such right to extend the Term of this Lease, it at all, at least seven (7) months prior to the expiration of the original Term of this Lease or such prior extension period, as the case may be. If Tenant shall fail to exercise its option to extend the Term of this Lease within the period of time for exercise set forth in this Section, Tenant’s option to extend the Term of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect until Landlord shall have given Tenant notice of such failure to exercise said option to extend the Term of this Lease (“Oops Notice”), If Tenant shall fail to exercise its option to extend the Term of this Lease within ten (10) business days

 

5

 

after receipt of an Oops Notice from Landlord, then and only then shall Tenant’s option to extend the Term of this Lease expire. Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work or perform any special services with respect to the Premises for such extension period, which Tenant agrees to accept in their then “as is” condition (but subject to Landlord’s on-going repair, maintenance and service obligations set forth herein).

 

(ii)                                  Within ten (10) days after the exercise by Tenant of its right to extend the Term of this Lease for a renewal period, Landlord shall submit to Tenant in writing Landlord’s determination of the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period. If Tenant does not notify Landlord of its acceptance of Landlord’s determination of the Basic Rental for the Premises for renewal period within ten days after receipt of Landlord’s determination of the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period (the “First 10 Day Period”), then the parties shall proceed as provided in Section 3(d)(iii) below.

 

(iii)                               Within five (5) days after the First 10 Day Period (the “Initial 5 Day Period”), Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its suggested Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period, which rental shall be the fair market rent for the Premises for the renewal period (but Landlord’s rent determination need not be the same rent as provided pursuant to Section 3(d)(ii) above). If either party does not submit its suggested Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period during the Initial 5 Day Period, the other party’s determination of Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period shall be final and binding. If the higher of such suggested Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period is not more than one hundred five percent of the lower of such suggested rentals for each year of the renewal period, then the average of the two suggested Basic Rental figures for the Premises for the renewal period shall be the Basic Rental for the Premises for such renewal period. Otherwise, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period, and if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree to the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period within five days after the expiration of the Initial 5 Day Period (the “Second 5 Day Period”), the determination of the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period shall be made in accordance with paragraph (iv) below.

 

(iv)                              Within five days after the expiration of the Second 5 Day Period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually select an MAI appraiser with experience in real estate activities, including at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising Class A office buildings in downtown Cleveland, Ohio (“Downtown Cleveland”), which appraiser shall be hereinafter referred to as a “Qualified Appraiser.” If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Appraiser during such five day period, then within five days thereafter, each party shall select an independent MAI Qualified Appraiser and within five days thereafter the two appointed appraisers shall select a third Qualified Appraiser and the third Qualified Appraiser shall determine the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period in accordance with paragraph (v) below. If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to make such appointment of a Qualified Appraiser within said five day period,

 

6

 

the Qualified Appraiser who is timely selected shall determine the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period.

 

(v)                                 Once the appraiser or third appraiser (the “Deciding Appraiser”) has been selected as provided in Section 3(d)(iv) above, the Deciding Appraiser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and without reference to Landlord’s and Tenant’s Basic Rental determinations, make its own independent determination as to the fair market rent for the Premises for the renewal period (the “Independent Determination”). Once the Independent Determination is made, the Basic Rental for the Premises for the renewal period shall be the figure submitted by Landlord and Tenant which is closer to the Independent Determination, which result shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall equally share the cost of such appraisal.

 

(vi)                              Intentionally Deleted

 

(vii)                           Tenant’s rights under Section 3(d) shall terminate, at Landlord’s option, if (a) an Event of Default exists as of the date of Tenant’s exercise of its rights under Section 3(d) or as of the commencement date of the applicable extended term, or (b) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of any portion of the Premises is terminated.

 

4.                                      RENT

 

(a)                                 Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental for the Premises during each year of the Term of this Lease the amount set forth in Section 1(h) hereof and the amount determined pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof during any extension period. Such rental shall be payable in advance, in equal monthly installments upon the first day of each and every month throughout the Term of this Lease; provided, however, that if the lease Term shall commence on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or shall end on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the rental for such first or last fractional month shall be such proportion of the monthly rental as the number of days in such fractional month bears to the total number of days in the calendar month.

 

(b)                                 Rent and all other charges hereunder shall promptly be paid without prior demand therefor and without deductions or setoffs for any reason whatsoever, except as expressly herein provided, and overdue rent and any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall bear interest during delinquency until paid at a rate of interest equal to [***] in excess of the “Prime Rate” published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal (hereinafter referred to as the “Interest Rate”). In addition, if any payment of rent is not paid when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to [***] of each late payment. Landlord shall have no obligation to accept less than the full amount of all installments of rental and interest thereon and all charges hereunder which are due and owing by Tenant to Landlord, and if Landlord shall accept less than the full amount owing, Landlord may

 

7

 

apply the sums received towards any of Tenant’s obligations at Landlord’s discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay the late charge or the interest provided for therein on up to two (2) occasions during each calendar year, provided such payments are made to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice that the same are past due.

 

(c)                                  Landlord’s failure to timely bill Tenant shall in no way excuse Tenant from its payment obligations or constitute a waiver of Landlord’s entitlement to any charges not timely billed by Landlord.

 

(d)                                 Tenant agrees that all Basic Rental and additional rent (collectively “Rent”) due under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord by (i) check mailed to the address set forth in Section 1 (o) hereof or such other address as Landlord shall designate by written notice to Tenant, (ii) wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (iii) electronic funds transfer.

 

5.                                      RENTAL ADJUSTMENT

 

(a)                                 The following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(i)                                     The term “Expenses” shall mean, subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth herein, the actual reasonable cost incurred by Landlord during the applicable calendar year on an accrual basis with respect to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building, including, without limitation or duplication, (1) the costs incurred for air conditioning; mechanical ventilation; heating; cleaning; rubbish removal; snow removal; general landscaping and ground maintenance; window washing; elevators; porter and matron services; electric current for Common Areas; management fees (calculated at a rate of [***] of gross receipts); repairs; maintenance; fire, extended coverage, boiler, sprinkler apparatus, public liability and property damage insurance (including loss of rental income insurance); supplies; wages, salaries and benefits of service and maintenance employees and management staff (if said employees and/or staff perform services for properties other than the Building, the expenses relating thereto shall be equitably prorated); uniforms and working clothes for such employees and the cleaning thereof; expenses imposed pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement with respect to such employees; payroll, social security, unemployment and other similar taxes with respect to such employees; sales, use and other similar taxes; water rates and sewer rents; depreciation of movable equipment and personal property, which is, or should be, capitalized on the books of Landlord, and the cost of movable equipment and personal property, which need not be so capitalized, as well as the cost of maintaining all such movable equipment, and any other costs, charges and expenses which, under generally accepted accounting principles and practices, would be regarded as maintenance and operating expenses, and (2) the cost of any capital improvements made to the Building after the Commencement Date that are intended to reduce other Expenses, or made to the Building by Landlord

 

8

 

after the date of this Lease that are required under any governmental law, rule, regulation or ordinance (collectively, “Law”) that was not applicable to the Building at the time it was constructed (the “Permitted Capital Improvements”), such cost or allocable portion thereof to be amortized over the useful life thereof as determined by GAAP, together with interest on the unamortized balance at the Interest Rate or such actual rate as may have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing such capital improvements, if Landlord borrows funds therefor. Expenses shall not include “Taxes,” depreciation on the Building other than as set forth above; costs of services or repairs and maintenance which are paid for by proceeds of insurance, by other tenants (in a manner other than as provided in this Section 5) or third parties; tenant improvements, real estate brokers’ commissions, interest and capital items other than those referred to in clause (1) above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Lease, Expenses shall not include costs for security services provided by Landlord (whether pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or otherwise) (the “Security Costs”) and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of fifty cents ($.50) per rentable square foot of the Premises per year (which per rentable square foot fee shall increase by 3% on each anniversary of the Commencement Date) for security services to be provided in accordance with Exhibit “G” hereof, which costs shall be paid in the same manner and at the same time as Tenant pays Basic Rental.

 

If the Building is less than 95% occupied, the Expenses which vary with occupancy shall be adjusted using commercially reasonable property management practices to equal Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Expenses which Landlord would have incurred had the Building been 95% occupied.

 

In determining Expenses:

 

(A)                               The management fees included within Expenses shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the gross receipts from the Building and shall be consistent with respect to the Base Expenses and Expenses in subsequent years.

 

(B)                               All items of Expenses which are deemed to be capital expenses shall be amortized in accordance with the terms of Section 5(a)(i)(2) and only the annual amortized amount shall be included in Expenses in any year.

 

(C)                               In the event that a category is removed from Expenses that was included in Base Expenses (as opposed to shifted or combined with another category), the Expenses for years in which such category no longer applies shall be increased to reflect what Expenses would have

 

9

 

been incurred had Landlord continued to furnish such category of services or work.

 

(D)                               Expenses shall not include (i) the cost or depreciation of the Building or any improvements thereon, including permit fees, license and inspection fees, and costs incurred in renovating, improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant tenant space or space of other tenants in the Building or broker’s commissions, (ii) principal payments, interest, late fees or other financing charges relating to any financing of the Building or rents under a ground lease or any other underlying lease wherein Landlord is the lessee, (iii) wages, salaries, fees and fringe benefits paid to home office executive personnel of Landlord (i.e., executives above the level of building manager and other office personnel but not the property manager, the assistant property manager and their staff), (iv) any costs relating to the solicitation, execution and enforcement of leases of other tenant space in the Building, (v) the cost of any electrical current or other utility services furnished to any other leasable area (but not including Common Areas) of the Building (other than for HVAC services and water), (vi) the cost of correcting defects in the original construction or defects in subsequent improvement of the Building, including costs of repairs or maintenance caused or necessitated by the negligence of Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees, (vii) the cost of any repair made by Landlord because of the total or partial destruction of the Building by fire or other casualty subsequent to the date of original construction, (viii) any costs for which Landlord is reimbursed under warranty claims, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (ix) any costs for which Landlord is reimbursed by tenants of the Building (other than in a manner comparable to Section 5(b) hereof), or third parties, (x) advertising and promotional expenditures, (xi) reserves for future expenditures or liabilities which would be incurred after the then current accounting year, (xii) the cost of (a) remediation of any toxic or hazardous substance or material from the land, buildings or improvements comprising the Building, other than commercially reasonable and customary maintenance of mechanical systems, or (b) any environmental reports or studies relating thereto, (xiii) income, sales and use taxes, excess profit, estate, inheritance, successions, transfer taxes, recording and franchise taxes; (xiv) capital improvements, other than the Permitted Capital Improvements; (xv) the Security Costs; (xvi) fees and penalties for late payments as long as Tenant timely makes all payments hereunder; (xvii) expenses in connection with any service of a type which Tenant is not entitled to receive under the Lease but which is provided to another tenant or occupant of the Building; (xviii) cost to purchase or maintain art (other than routine cleaning); (xix) any personal property taxes of the Landlord for equipment or items not used solely and directly in the operation or maintenance of the Building; (xx) any cost representing an amount paid to any entity related to or affiliated with Landlord (or it members, managers,

 

10

 

partners or employees, or relatives or such parties) which is materially in excess of the amount which would have been paid in the absence of such relationship; (xxi) costs associated with the operation of the limited liability company, partnership or other entity which constitutes Landlord, as distinguished from costs of operation of the Building; (xxii) parties or events hosted by Landlord for the tenants of the Building; and (xxiii) the costs of repairs or replacements caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or the gross negligence of its agents, employees, managers or contractors.

 

(E)                                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Controllable Expenses for any calendar year following the first calendar year of the Term shall not exceed the Cap on a cumulative basis. The “Cap” for the calendar year immediately following the first calendar year of the Term shall be one hundred five percent of the Controllable Expenses for the first calendar year of the Term, and the Cap for each calendar year thereafter shall be one hundred five percent of the Cap for the highest amount of Controllable Expenses included in Expenses for any then preceding calendar year of the Term. The term “Controllable Expenses” shall mean all Expenses other than those Expenses attributable to snow and ice removal and salting, utilities, taxes and insurance.

 

(ii)                                  The term “Base Expenses” shall mean the amount as defined in Section 1(i) hereof.

 

(iii)                               The term “Excess Expenses” shall mean the total dollar increases, if any, over the Base Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in the respective calendar year.

 

(iv)                              The term “Taxes” shall mean the amount of all ad valorem real property taxes and assessments, special or otherwise, levied upon or with respect to the Building, or the Rent and additional charges payable hereunder, imposed by any taxing authority having jurisdiction. Taxes shall also include all taxes, levies and charges which may be assessed, levied or imposed in replacement of, or in addition to, all or any part of ad valorem real property taxes as revenue sources, and which in whole or in part are measured or calculated by or based upon the Building, the leasehold estate of Landlord or Tenant, or the Rent and other charges payable hereunder. Taxes shall include any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in determining or attempting to obtain a reduction of Taxes.

 

In determining Taxes:

 

(A)                               Taxes shall not include any income, sales and use taxes, excess profit, estate, inheritance, successions, transfer taxes, recording and franchise taxes.

 

11

 

(B)                               With respect to special assessments which may be paid in installments, Tenant’s Share thereof shall be determined as if Landlord elected to pay the same over the longest period available.

 

(C)                               Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Taxes shall not include and Tenant shall not be responsible for any interest or penalties due to the late payment of Taxes.

 

(D)                               In the event Landlord receives any refunds relating to Taxes covering a period during the Term of this Lease, the Taxes with respect to such year with respect to such refund relates shall be reduced accordingly and to the extent applicable, Tenant shall be given credit for Tenant’s Share thereof.

 

(v)                                 The term “Base Taxes” shall mean the amount as defined in Section 1(j) hereof.

 

(vi)                              The term “Excess Taxes” shall mean the total dollar increase, if any, over the Base Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord in the respective calendar year.

 

(vii)                           The term “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 1(k) hereof which was derived by dividing the rentable square foot area of the Premises by the rentable square foot area of the Building (which, as the Building currently exists, equals 815,119 rentable square feet).

 

(viii)                        The term “Base Year” shall mean the 2016 calendar year.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Excess Taxes in the manner and at the times herein provided.

 

With respect to Excess Expenses, prior to January 1, 2017, and prior to the beginning of each calendar year thereafter, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses for the ensuing calendar year, with respect to Excess Taxes, prior to January 1, 2017, and prior to the beginning of each calendar year thereafter, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amounts, provided that until such notice is given with respect to the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay the amount currently payable pursuant hereto until after the month such notice is given. If at any time or times it appears to Landlord that Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses or Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes for the then current calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for

 

12

 

such year and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate.

 

Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year with respect to Excess Expenses, and within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year with respect to Excess Taxes, or as soon after such ninety (90) day period as practicable (not to exceed 180 days after the close of the calendar year), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement prepared by Landlord of Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Excess Taxes, respectively, for such calendar year. If on the basis of either of such statements, Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year with respect to Excess Expense or with respect to Excess Taxes previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such excess amount against the next payment(s) due from Tenant to Landlord of Excess Expenses or Excess Taxes, as applicable. In no event shall a reduction in Taxes or Expenses operate to reduce the rental set forth in Section 1(h) hereof required to be paid hereunder, nor shall any reduction in Taxes or Expenses below the Base Expenses or Base Taxes give rise to any credit to Tenant. If on the basis of such statement, Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payment for such calendar year with respect to Excess Expenses or Excess Taxes previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.

 

If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Excess Taxes that are applicable to the calendar year in which such termination shall occur shall be prorated on the basis of the number of calendar days within such year as are within the Term of this Lease. Any refund due Tenant with respect to the last year of the Term of this Lease shall be refunded to it within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such statement.

 

For a period of two (2) years after delivery of each such statement to which such records relate, Tenant shall have the right upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord to inspect Landlord’s records relating to Taxes and Expenses (an “Audit”). Each Audit shall be conducted at Landlord’s offices during Landlord’s normal business hours at Tenant’s expense. Each Audit may not be conducted by a person or firm compensated on a contingent fee basis. Tenant shall provide a copy of each Audit to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Tenant must keep the provisions of each Audit confidential. If an Audit shall disclose that Tenant has paid three and one-half percent (3.5%) or more in excess of that required to be paid hereunder and Landlord shall accept such determination, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of such Audit. Tenant shall have no right to offset the amount of any overpayment disclosed in an Audit unless Landlord shall accept such determination of an overpayment by Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree on any overpayment or underpayment within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of an Audit, either Landlord or Tenant may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of an Audit to Landlord, cause an independent Big Four accounting firm to resolve the dispute, whose determination shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant and the firm’s fees shall be split equally between Landlord and

 

13

 

Tenant. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

6.                                      OTHER TAXES PAYABLE BY TENANT

 

Intentionally Deleted

 

7.                                      REPAIRS

 

(a)                                 Landlord shall maintain (including repairs and replacements), in a timely manner, in good order and condition and incompliance with all Law and in accordance with the standards of Class A office buildings in Downtown Cleveland as reasonably determined by Landlord, all of the following; (a) Common Areas and other public portions of the Building, including but not limited to any lobbies, stairs, elevators, corridors and restrooms, (b) the windows and exterior walls, roofs, foundations and structure itself of the Building, (c) the fire and life safety systems, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, gas, sewer, drainage, electrical and other utility lines and equipment servicing the Premises, Building and/or the Common Areas, and (d) all other portions of the Building (other than leased space expressly required to be maintained by a particular tenant pursuant to the terms of its lease). The cost of the foregoing shall be included in Expenses (except as otherwise prohibited by this Lease), except for the repairs due to fire and other casualties and for the repair of damages occasioned by the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant, which Tenant shall pay to Landlord in full (unless the liability for such has been waived by Section 21). Landlord shall be responsible to supply and pay for the replacement of lighting ballasts and light bulbs, and fluorescent tubes in the Building (to be included in Expenses); provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible to reimburse Landlord for the cost of the lighting ballasts, light bulbs, and fluorescent tubes replaced in the Premises. Landlord shall promptly complete all required repairs and repair any and all damage to the Premises which may result from such repairs and maintenance. Landlord shall, at its sole cost, also make all repairs to the Premises necessitated by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord’s managers, contractors, employees or agents. Landlord shall make all repairs required to be made by it under this Lease within a reasonable time. Except in the event of an Emergency, Landlord shall also make all such repairs at such times and in such a manner as to reasonably minimize inconvenience to Tenant in the conduct of its business. Landlord shall not enter the Premises for the purpose of making such repairs if the same can be made on a reasonable basis without entry of the Premises. If said repairs can be made outside of Tenant’s business hours without substantial additional cost to Landlord, Landlord shall do so, unless Tenant requests that they be made during business hours.

 

(b)                                 Subject to the provisions of Section 7(a) hereof and the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall keep the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, excluding (i) reasonable wear and tear, (ii) damage caused by Landlord or its employees, managers, agents or contractor and (iii) resulting from the default under this Lease by Landlord or its employees, managers, agents or contractor. Except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives all rights to make repairs at the

 

14

 

expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises except as provided by Law now or hereafter in effect. All repairs made by or on behalf of Tenant shall be made and performed in such manner as Landlord may designate, by contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord and in accordance with the rules and regulations relating thereto attached to this Lease as Exhibit “E” hereto (“Rules”) and all Law. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after completion of the applicable portion of the work, provide Landlord with unconditional lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen providing services or furnishing material to or for Tenant in connection with such repairs. Landlord has no obligation and has made no promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof and no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Subject to the waiver of liability in Section 21, Tenant will pay for any repairs to the Premises or the Building made necessary by any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees or persons permitted in the Building by Tenant, unless the same are covered by the insurance carried or required to be carried by Landlord hereunder.

 

8.                                      IMPROVEMENTS AND ALTERATIONS

 

(a)                                As used in this Lease, the term “Landlord’s Work” shall refer to the improvements set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and made a part hereof, which are intended to provide Tenant with a turn-key build-out inclusive of the restrooms and the base fire suppression equipment on the floors on which the Premises are situated (provided, however, that Tenant shall be responsible for the distribution of the fire suppression equipment). Landlord shall cause Landlord’s Work to be constructed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications theretofore prepared by Landlord’s Architect. All of Landlord’s Work (if plans and specs are necessary) shall be performed by Landlord in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by Landlord and subject to Tenant’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall revise such plans and specifications as reasonably required in order to obtain Tenant’s approval. Subject to the provisions of Section 8(b)(ii) below, all of Landlord’s Work shall be performed by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall complete all of Landlord’s Work in a first-class and good and workmanlike manner, using good materials, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications (if necessary), and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of the federal, state and municipal governments, or any department or division thereof, including, without limitation, building codes.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     (A)                               Based upon the mutually approved space plan prepared by Landlord’s Architect, Landlord’s Architect shall prepare plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall submit such plans and specifications to Tenant for Tenant’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant shall fail to supply such approval or comments in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such plans and specifications. The cost of the space plan and the cost of such

 

15

 

final plans and specifications shall be paid by Landlord but shall be charged against the Tenant Allowance (as defined below). To the extent the plans and specifications are identified in Exhibit “C” attached hereto, the plans and specifications have been approved in advance by Landlord.

 

(B)                               Upon approval of such plans and specifications by Tenant, Landlord shall obtain at least three (3) competitive bids (where reasonably available) for all major trades (including, but not limited to, HVAC and electrical) constituting Landlord’s Work. Tenant may add bidders to the bid list. Such bids shall be submitted to Tenant prior to the award of the contract to which the same relate. The work shall be awarded to the low bidder, provided it is a responsible party (and reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant), its bid is complete and Landlord has no other reasonable objection to it. Based upon such competitive bids, Landlord shall submit the cost of Landlord’s Work to Tenant, for Tenant’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Tenant does not approve or submit comments to such costs to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such costs. If Tenant does not approve such plans and specifications and/or costs, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in order to revise the plans and specifications in a manner acceptable to the parties. Landlord’s Work shall be performed on a so-called “open book” basis, with Tenant having the right to audit all of Landlord’s records relating to the cost of such work.

 

(ii)                                  (A)                               Landlord shall complete the Premises in accordance with the approved plans and specifications (“Plans”) up to a cost of [***] per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Tenant Allowance”). Tenant shall pay all costs in excess of the Tenant Allowance within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (i) receipt by Tenant of an invoice therefor, and (ii) the Commencement Date; provide, however, if Tenant disputes any such costs in excess of the Tenant Allowance, Tenant may hold back the disputed costs in an amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Tenant Allowance pursuant to this subsection. If the cost of so completing the Premises in accordance with the approved plans and specifications is less than the Tenant Allowance, at Tenant’s election, Tenant may utilize all or a portion of such excess for the cost of the improvements to the Premises made by Tenant and its furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures and equipment to be installed in the Premises and/or applied as a credit against Rent first becoming due hereunder.

 

(B)                               In computing Landlord’s costs of completing the Premises, Landlord shall receive a fee of two percent (2%) for profit, and its actual overhead and administrative costs.

 

(iii)                               Landlord shall diligently prosecute Landlord’s Work to completion without interruption or delay, in a first-class and good and workmanlike manner, using good materials, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and in

 

16

 

compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of the federal, state and municipal governments, or any department or division thereof, including, without limitation, building codes. Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall procure all building and other permits, approvals and inspections necessary for performing Landlord’s Work pursuant to the approved plans and specifications, the cost of which shall be charged against the Tenant Allowance.

 

(iv)                                  Landlord has designated Bedrock Management Services LLC as its representative who shall have general responsibility for the supervision, management and completion of Landlord’s Work, and Tenant may direct to it all inquiries regarding Landlord’s Work and the scheduling of Landlord’s Work and Tenant’s inspections thereof, and Tenant’s installation of its fixtures, equipment and other improvements, and Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

 

(v)                                     Tenant shall have the right to designate a representative who shall have the right (but not the obligation) to attend all construction meetings, to inspect the performance of Landlord’s Work and to notify Landlord in writing if said performance does not conform to the approved plans and specifications. If there is a disagreement as to whether such performance substantially conforms to the approved plans and specifications which cannot be resolved by the parties within three (3) days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice, then such matter shall be submitted to the Landlord’s Architect, and its decision shall be controlling.

 

(vi)                                  In the event Tenant desires to have improvements installed in the Premises in addition to or in lieu of the improvements provided for in the approved plans and specifications, Tenant shall so advise Landlord and submit to Landlord complete plans and specifications for such improvements. Tenant shall immediately cause such plans and specifications to be revised in order to comply with Landlord’s reasonable comments to such plans and specifications. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with such changes. Upon approval of such plans and specifications by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the cost of constructing and installing such improvements, and upon approval of such costs by Tenant, Landlord will commence construction and installation of such improvements; provided, however, that Tenant may revise such plans in order to reduce such costs, subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(vii)                           During the construction of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a schedule for the completion of the remainder of Landlord’s Work and such other information as Tenant may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant if it fails to meet such schedule.

 

(viii)                        (A)                               From and after the commencement of Landlord’s Work in the Premises, Landlord shall supply to Tenant weekly status reports. The Premises shall be deemed completed and possession delivered to Tenant when Landlord has “Substantially Completed” the improvements. The Premises shall be

 

17

 

deemed Substantially Completed when Landlord has completed its work, delivered the Premises to Tenant, and the Premises is in such condition to only require completion of details of construction and mechanical adjustments which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises and Landlord has delivered to Tenant Landlord’s Architect’s certificate of substantial completion and a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy issued by the applicable governmental entity. If a temporary certificate of occupancy has been issued, Landlord shall diligently complete the items necessary in order to obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy and obtain the same. The date Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant in accordance with this subsection is referred to as the “Delivery Date.”

 

(B)                               For purposes hereof, “Tenant Delay” shall mean any incremental delay in Landlord’s performance of Landlord’s Work that occurs as the result of (i) any change by Tenant to the space plan after submission thereof to Landlord and/or the approved plans and specifications for such work; (ii) any delay in such work caused by the installation of Tenant’s fixtures in the Premises or the performance of any other work by Tenant at the Premises; and (iii) Tenant specifying any materials or equipment which are not readily available in the market and require long-lead time to obtain. Upon the occurrence of any event that Landlord contends is a Tenant Delay, Landlord shall promptly deliver notice to Tenant thereof, together with Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the expected delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay shall only be considered a Tenant Delay if such delay causes an incremental delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements. For example, if Landlord is delayed by the unavailability of certain materials and Tenant causes a delay while Landlord is delayed by such unavailability of materials so that no further actual incremental delay is caused by Tenant, such delay by Tenant shall not constitute a “Tenant Delay” hereunder. In the event of any Tenant Delays, the Premises shall be deemed to have been completed on the date Landlord and Tenant reasonably determine the Premises would have been so completed but for such Tenant Delays.

 

(ix)                                 If any dispute shall arise as to whether Landlord has so completed the Premises on the date of such completion, the matter shall be submitted to Landlord’s Architect for its determination and its decision shall be binding upon the parties.

 

(x)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right prior to the Commencement Date to submit a so-called punch list of incomplete or defective items in Landlord’s Work and Landlord shall promptly remedy all such items.

Landlord shall promptly address any janitorial services issues raised by Tenant. If Landlord fails to remedy the service issues within sixty (60) days after notice from Tenant, then Tenant has the right to engage its own janitorial service provider to serve the Premises.

(ix)                              Landlord shall have no liability, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rental except as provided in Section 11(a)(x) hereof, by reason of Landlord’s failure to furnish any services (including electricity) when such failure is caused by breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, labor disturbances or labor disputes, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently restore any services provided by Landlord hereunder which are disrupted.

(e)                                  (i)                                     Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the performance by Landlord of the Required Restoration Work and the repair or replacement by Tenant of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined), provided that Tenant shall not unreasonably interfere with the Required Restoration Work and such entry by Tenant shall be at its sole risk. Prior to the substantial completion of the Required Restoration Work, Landlord shall, to the extent appropriate in accordance with good construction practices, provide Tenant and Tenant’s contractor, subcontractors and materialmen access to the Premises to repair or replace Tenant’s Property (but not to occupy the same for the conduct of business).

 

(ii)                                  Such access by Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the applicable provisions of this Lease, except that there shall be no obligation on the part

 

28

 

of Tenant solely because of such access to pay any Rent with respect to the affected portion of the Premises for any period prior to substantial completion of the Required Restoration Work.

 

15.                               EMINENT DOMAIN

 

(a)                                 If the whole or any substantial part of the Building shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain, then the Term of this Lease shall cease on the part so taken on the date possession of that part shall be required for public use, and any Rent paid in advance of such date shall be refunded to Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other, which notice shall be delivered within thirty (30) days following the date notice is received of such taking. In the event that neither party hereto shall terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, to the extent the proceeds of the condemnation award (other than any proceeds awarded for the value of any land taken) are available, make all necessary repairs to the Building to render and restore the same to a complete architectural unit and Tenant shall continue in possession of the portion of the Premises not taken under the power of eminent domain, under the same terms and conditions as are herein provided, except that the Rent reserved herein, Tenant’s Share pursuant to Section 1 (k) hereof shall be reduced in direct proportion to the amount of the Premises so taken. All damages awarded for such taking shall belong to and be the property of Landlord, whether such damages be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises; provided, however, Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion of the award made to Tenant for loss of business, removal and reinstallation of trade fixtures or moving expenses.

 

(b)                                 In the event of a partial taking which does not result in the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the restoration of the Premises as nearly as practicable to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed just prior to such taking. In such event, the Rent shall abate during the period of demolition and restoration to the extent the Premises are unusable, provided that Landlord receives an award therefor.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15 hereof, Tenant shall have the right to make a claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for compensation for the unamortized cost of Tenant’s improvements, alterations or additions made to the Premises at Tenant’s cost, such amortization to be computed on a straight line basis over the Term of this Lease.

 

16.                               ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

(a)                                   Except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Section 16, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, encumber or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any party other than Tenant. Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a proposed assignment or

 

29

 

subletting. In determining reasonableness, Landlord may take into consideration all relevant factors surrounding the proposed assignment or subletting, including, without limitation: (i) the business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its officers, directors and owners; (ii) the nature of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its effect on the other tenants of the Building; and (iii) restrictions, if any, contained in leases affecting the Building. Except as provided in Section 16(d) hereof, this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the consent of Landlord.

 

(b)                                 If at any time or from time to time during the Term of this Lease, Tenant desires to sublet all or any part of the Premises or to assign this Lease, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord setting forth the proposed subtenant or assignee, the terms of the proposed subletting and the space so proposed to be sublet or the terms of the proposed assignment, as the case may be. Except with respect to an assignment under (d) below, if the proposed assignment is to a non-affiliate of Tenant and covers the entire Premises for the entire remaining Term of this Lease, Landlord may terminate this Lease, such termination right to be exercised by notice from Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the proposed assignment, provided that such termination notice by Landlord shall not be effective if, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s termination notice to Tenant, Tenant gives notice to Landlord retracting the proposed assignment notice.

 

(c)                                  In the event Tenant sublets a portion of the Premises, or assigns this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such subletting or assignment whether denominated rentals or otherwise, under the sublease or assignment, which, after subtracting the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such subletting or assignment, which exceeds in the aggregate, the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease) shall be payable to Landlord as additional rental under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16(a) hereof, without Landlord’s approval or consent and without notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right at any time and from time to time to sublease all or any portion of the Premises or assign this Lease to (i) any affiliate of Tenant and any affiliate of any of the beneficial owners of Tenant or its parents or subsidiaries at any level, (ii) any entity in which Tenant has a controlling interest or (iii) any successor entity, whether by merger, consolidation or combination or otherwise or (iv) any entity that purchases all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or (v) Quicken Loans Inc. or any of its affiliates. For purposes hereof an affiliate is any entity which controls Tenant, is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant, or in which Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant or any beneficial owner of Tenant or its parent or subsidiaries has any interest or is an officer, director, shareholder, partner, member or manager or at any other level. Further, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16(a) hereof, without Landlord’s approval or consent but with notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right at any time and from

 

30

 

time to time to sublease all or any portion of the Premises to a subtenant provided such subtenant is not (1) an occupant of the Building or an affiliate of any such occupant and at such time Landlord has comparable space available for Lease to such proposed subtenant or (2) a person or entity with whom Landlord is then, or has been within the six-month period prior to the time Tenant seeks to enter into such sublease, actively and demonstrably negotiating to lease space in the Building or an affiliate of any such person or entity and at such time Landlord has comparable space available for Lease to such proposed subtenant. Tenant shall, upon written request from Landlord, provide Landlord with the names of any sublessees or assignees of Tenant. Nothing contained in this Lease provides any subtenant or assignee with any right to use the Premises for any use other than Tenant’s Use as set forth in Section 1 (m). Any change in control or ownership of Tenant shall not be deemed an assignment requiring approval of Landlord.

 

(e)                                  Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rental and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rental by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, upon first notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

 

17.                               ACCESS

 

(a)                                 Subject to applicable Law and the other limitations set forth in this Lease, Landlord and its agents shall have the right following not less than seventy-two (72) hours written notice (except in an Emergency (as hereinafter defined) to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers or tenants of the Building (as to prospective tenants, only in the final nine (9) months of the Term of this Lease), and as necessary to perform its obligations hereunder. Landlord’s access rights shall be subject to the following: (i) promptly finishing any work for which it entered; (ii) complying with all of Tenant’s security and safety regulations which do not unreasonably limit or impact the purpose for which such entry was or is to be undertaken; (iii) intentionally omitted; (iv) if Tenant so elects, Landlord shall be accompanied by a representative of Tenant during any such entry; (v) Landlord shall not have the right to open or inspect confidential files or safes (so long as designated in writing as confidential in advance by Tenant), and Landlord shall not disclose to others any confidential information regarding Tenant’s business (to the extent designated as confidential in advance by Tenant) learned by Landlord during any such entry into the Premises except (1) in litigation between Landlord and Tenant, (2) if required by court order or subpoena, or (3) if such confidential information otherwise become generally

 

31

 

available to the public; and (vi) Landlord shall promptly repair any damage caused to the Premises by Landlord or anyone accessing the Premises under this Section. Landlord may erect, use and maintain temporary scaffolding, pipes, conduits and other necessary structures in and through the Premises where reasonably required by the character of the work performed, provided that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. If Tenant shall not personally be present to open and permit an entry into the Premises at any time when such entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord may enter by means of a master key or, in emergencies, may enter forcibly, without liability to Tenant. In exercising its rights pursuant to this Section 17 hereof, Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s operations in the Premises and to minimize any such interference.

 

(b)                                 Intentionally deleted.

 

(c)                                  As used herein, the term “Emergency” shall mean an event requiring immediate action, e.g., danger to health, life or property, fire, water seepage, sewer backup or cessation or interruption of any facility servicing the like.

 

(d)                                 Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, on or about the Premises (excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar areas designated in writing by Tenant in advance and executive offices and other areas containing confidential information as reasonably determined by Tenant); and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in any Emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion thereof. Damage to the Premises resulting from Landlord’s entry shall be repaired at Landlord’s expense

 

18.                               SUBORDINATION

 

This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate, at all times, to (a) the lien of any mortgage or mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Building, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof and to the interest thereon, and to any agreements at any time made modifying, supplementing, extending or replacing any such mortgages, and (b) any ground or underlying lease which may now or hereafter affect the Building, including all amendments, renewals, modifications, consolidation, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the holder of any of the aforesaid mortgage or mortgages or the lessor under the aforesaid ground or underlying lease, this Lease may be made prior and superior to such mortgage or mortgages and/or such ground or underlying lease. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if the Building is subject to mortgage on the date of this Lease, then within thirty (30) days after the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and

 

32

 

attornment agreement for Tenant’s benefit from the current mortgagee(s) of the Building in a commercially reasonable form reasonably acceptable to Tenant. In addition, as a condition precedent to Tenant subordinating this Lease to any future mortgage or ground lease, Landlord shall obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from such mortgagee or ground lessor in a commercially reasonable form reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Tenant agrees to execute a commercially reasonable subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement.

 

At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver such further instruments as may be reasonably required to implement the provisions of this Section

 

18.                               Failure of Tenant to execute any of the instruments specified in Sections 18 and 41 within twenty (20) days of written request to do so by Landlord shall constitute an Event of Default for which no cure period shall be provided to Tenant; provided, however, in the event Tenant has provided commercially reasonable modifications to such instruments at least three (3) days prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period and Landlord, lender or prospective purchaser has failed to respond to such comments in good faith and/or Tenant and such parties are negotiating such documents, then Tenant’s failure to so execute all such instruments shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until Tenant fails to execute all such instruments within ten (10) days after such documents have been fully negotiated.

 

19.                               NON-LIABILITY

 

(a)                                 Except for the negligence or wrongful acts of Landlord, its agents, contractors and employees, Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connected with the Premises or any part of the Building or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or his property from burst, stopped or leaking water, gas, sewer or steam pipes, or for any damage or loss of property within the Premises from any cause whatsoever or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or its property from theft or a failure of the security system in the Building, and then only if such damage or loss is not covered by Tenant’s insurance, and no such occurrence shall be deemed to be an actual or constructive eviction from the Premises or result in an abatement of rental.

 

(b)                                 In the event of any sale or transfer (including any transfer by operation of law) of the Premises, Landlord (and any subsequent owner of the Premises making such a transfer) shall be relieved from any and all obligations and liabilities under this Lease, except such obligations and liabilities as shall have arisen during Landlord’s (or such subsequent owner’s) respective period of ownership, provided that the transferee assumes in writing all of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

 

(c)                                  If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease upon Landlord’s part to be performed, and if as a consequence of such default, Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and

 

33

 

levied thereon against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Building and out of rents, insurance proceeds, condemnation award or other income from the Building receivable by Landlord, or out of the consideration received by Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Building, and neither Landlord nor any of its partners, members, managers or shareholders shall be liable for any deficiency.

 

20.                               INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD

 

(a)                                 Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damage to any property or injury or death of any person in or upon the Premises arising at any time, except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, managers, agents or contractors. Subject to the waiver of liability under Section 21, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any damage to any property or injury to or death of any person arising in or on the Premises, except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, managers, agents or contractors. All property insurance procured by the Tenant shall contain an endorsement waiving all rights of subrogation against Landlord, the Landlord’s Agent(s), Landlord’s property manager, and beneficiaries. The foregoing indemnity obligation of Tenant shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees, investigation costs and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from the first notice that any claim or demand is to be made or may be made with respect to matters covered by the indemnity. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring prior to such termination.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall, during the Term of this Lease, procure and maintain or cause to be procured and maintained:

 

(i)                                     business auto liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each accident. Such insurance shall cover liability arising out of any auto (including owned, hired, and non-owned auto).

 

(ii)                                  workers compensation and employers liability insurance. The employers liability limit shall not be less than $1,000,000 each accident for bodily injury by accident, or $1,000,000 each employee for bodily injury by disease. This limit may be satisfied in conjunction with the umbrella;

 

(iii)                               commercial general liability (CGL) insurance. CGL insurance shall be written using an occurrence form and shall cover liability arising from premises operations, independent contractors, product completed operations, personal injury, bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury, with an insurance company

 

34

 

acceptable by the owner. Tenant shall maintain CGL insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence, and $2,000,000 million aggregate, including a per location endorsement. Tenant shall also maintain an umbrella policy with a $5,000,000 general aggregate limit that shall follow form over the primary “per location” endorsement;

 

(iv)                              “Special Cause of Loss”, including theft and leakage from fire protective equipment, broad form property insurance coverage for Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and personal property at the Premises for the full replacement value;

 

(v)                                 business interruption insurance.

 

(c)                                  The insurance under (i) and (iii), shall name Landlord, Landlord’s property managers (currently Bedrock Management Services), and all other parties required by the Landlord, as “additional insureds”, shall specifically include the liability assumed hereunder by Tenant, and shall provide that it is primary insurance with respect to the Premises and not excess over or contributory with any other valid, existing and applicable insurance in force for or on behalf of Landlord. A copy of the Additional Insured endorsement shall be provided to the Landlord indicating that written notice for cancellation or nonrenewal shall be provided in writing to the Additional Insureds.

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall maintain the coverage set forth in this Lease and is prohibited from canceling or reducing coverage without first giving Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed action. In the event Tenant does cancel or reduce coverage, Tenant shall provide evidence of such cancellation or reduction to Landlord within thirty (30) days in the form of an insurance carrier endorsement.

 

21.                               WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

 

Landlord and Tenant waive all claims against the other for, and each shall each be released from any liability resulting from, damage by fire or casualty (irrespective of the cause of such fire or casualty) upon the express proviso that if at any time their respective insurers shall refuse to permit waivers of subrogation, Landlord or Tenant may in each instance revoke said waiver of subrogation effective thirty (30) days from the date of written notice to the other unless within such thirty (30) day period, the other is able to secure and furnish (without additional expense, unless paid by the procuring party) insurance in other companies with such waiver of subrogation.

 

22.                               ATTORNEY’S FEES

 

In the event of any legal action or proceeding brought by either party against the other arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in such action and such amount shall be included in any judgment rendered in such proceeding.

 

35

 

23.                               WAIVER

 

(a)                                 No waiver of any provision of this Lease or of any breach hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof, or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. Consent to or approval of any act requiring consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of consent to or approval of any subsequent act. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, unless done in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of the keys to any employee or agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

 

(b)                                 Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other in any matter whatsoever (except for personal injury or property damage) arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of landlord and tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any emergency or other statutory remedy with respect thereto.

 

24.                               Intentionally Deleted

 

25.                               EVENT OF DEFAULT - TENANT

 

(a)                                  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each such occurrence shall be deemed an “Event of Default”) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (i) if Tenant shall fail to pay the Basic Rental or any other sum when and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; or (ii) if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other term hereof or of the Rules to be performed or observed by Tenant, such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord, and Tenant shall not within such thirty (30) day period commence with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default, or, having so commenced, shall thereafter fail or neglect to prosecute or complete with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default and curing such default within one hundred fifty (150) days after receipt of notice of such default; (iii) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as insolvent or shall file a petition in any proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangements, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any Law, or shall file an answer admitting or fail timely to contest or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or any material part of its properties; (iv) if within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute or Law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within ninety (90) days after the

 

36

 

appointment without the consent of acquiescence of Tenant, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of any material part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated; or (v) if this Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within sixty (60) days.

 

(b)                                 Any time an uncured Event of Default by Tenant as set forth in Section 25(a) hereof exists, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease upon and by giving written notice of termination to Tenant as required by Law (currently, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice), or Landlord, without terminating this Lease, may at any time after such default or breach, without notice or demand additional to that provided in Section 25(a) hereof (other than notice and/or demand required by applicable Law), and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach (other than the aforesaid right of termination) exercise any one or more of the remedies hereinafter provided in this Section 25(b), or as otherwise provided by Law, all of such remedies (whether provided herein or by Law) being cumulative and not exclusive:

 

(c)                                  Landlord shall have the right to recover the rental and all other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease as they become due (unless and until Landlord has terminated this Lease and all other damages incurred by Landlord as a result of an Event of Default.) Landlord may enter the Premises either by summary proceedings or by any other lawful proceeding (without thereby incurring any liability to Tenant and without such entry being constituted an eviction of Tenant or termination of this Lease) and take possession of the Premises excluding all personal property of every kind on the Premises not owned by Landlord, and Landlord shall at any time and from time to time relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, for such terms, upon such conditions and at such rental as Landlord may in the exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment deem proper. In the event of such reletting, (i) Landlord shall receive and collect the Rent therefrom and shall first apply such Rent against such expenses as Landlord may have incurred in recovering possession of the Premises, placing the same in good order and condition, altering or repairing the same for reletting, and such other expenses, commissions and charges, including attorney’s fees and real estate commissions, which Landlord may have paid or reasonably incurred in connection with such repossession and reletting, and then shall apply such Rent against the Rent as it comes due under this Lease, and (ii) Landlord may execute any lease in connection with such reletting in Landlord’s name, as Landlord may see fit, and the tenant of such reletting shall be under no obligation to see to the application by Landlord of any Rent collected by Landlord.

 

(d)                                 Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the event of an uncured Event of Default, but Landlord shall not be required to favor the Premises if there are other vacant comparable premises in the Building.

 

(e)                                  Upon a termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 25(b) hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as final and liquidated

 

37

 

damages as it relates to the nonpayment of Rent, the aggregate of: (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rental which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the then reasonable rental value of the Premises during such period; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rental for the balance of the Term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the reasonable rental value of the Premises for such period; and (iv) Landlord’s other actual damages (if any), proximately caused by the Event of Default. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above is computed from the date such Rent was due or would have been due, as the case may be, by allowing interest at the rate of two percent (2%) in excess of the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal or, if a higher rate is legally permissible, at the highest rate legally permitted. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clause (c) above is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 25(e) to the contrary, Tenant shall continue to pay the difference between the rental herein reserved over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the stated Term on a monthly basis until such time, if at all, that such amounts are in arrears for in excess of sixty (60) days, in which event Landlord shall have the right to accelerate such amounts in accordance with Section 25(e)(iii) hereof.

 

(f)                                   All covenants, terms and conditions to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at its sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rental except as expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Basic Rental, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord, and such failure results in an Event of Default, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and reasonable incidental costs shall be deemed additional rental hereunder and shall be payable to Landlord on demand, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Basic Rental.

 

26.                               HOLDING OVER

 

It is hereby agreed that in the event of Tenant holding over after the termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, thereafter the tenancy shall be from month to month in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly occupancy charge equal to (i) for the first sixty (60) days of holdover, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the monthly Basic Rental payable hereunder for the last lease year, and (ii) for any holdover beyond said sixty (60) days,

 

38

 

one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Basic Rental payable hereunder for the last lease year (plus all other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease) such occupancy charges to be payable from the expiration or termination of this Lease until the end of the calendar month in which the Premises are delivered to Landlord in the condition required herein. If Landlord shall enter into a new lease or amend an existing lease for premises in the Building for all or a portion of the Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and if Tenant fails to vacate and deliver all or such portion of the Premises to Landlord within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice (but in no event prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease), Tenant shall be responsible for any and all damages actually and reasonably incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to so vacate and deliver the Premises or such portion thereof (including the loss of such lease or amendment).

33.                               INABILITY TO PERFORM

 

(a)                                  If, by reason of the occurrence of unavoidable delays due to acts of God, governmental restrictions, strikes, labor disturbances, shortages of materials or supplies or for any other cause or event of a like nature not attributable to the negligence or fault of the Landlord, Landlord is unable to furnish or is delayed in furnishing any utility or service required to be furnished by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease, or is unable to perform or make or is delayed in performing or making any installations, decorations, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements required to be performed or made under this Lease, or is unable to fulfill or is delayed in fulfilling any of Landlord’s other obligations under this Lease, then the performance of such work or act shall be excused for the period of the unavoidable delay and the period for the performance of any such work or act shall be extended for an equivalent period, and no such inability or delay shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rental or other charges due hereunder or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise.

40

 

obligations under this Lease, then the performance of such work or act shall be excused for the period of the unavoidable delay and the period for the performance of any such work or act shall be extended for an equivalent period, and no such inability or delay shall constitute a Tenant default or relieve Landlord from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Tenant or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Landlord, or injury to or interruption of Landlord’s business, or otherwise.

 

(c)                                    Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 33 shall not operate to excuse either party from the prompt payment of the Rent or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease.

On or before the Expiration Date, any earlier date of termination of this Lease or the date that Tenant vacates from the Premises, whichever shall first occur, Tenant agrees to remove, at its sole cost and expense, all of Tenant’s Property (unless Landlord consents in writing to Tenant’s request to allow the Tenant’s Property or any portion thereof to remain in the Premises). Tenant shall restore and repair (which shall include, without limitation, repairing any holes in the walls or tears in the wallpaper and repainting or re-wallpapering such walls and closing-up any slab penetrations in the Premises, all in a good and workmanlike manner), or promptly reimburse Landlord for the reasonable and actual cost of restoring and repairing (including, without limitation, repairing any such holes in the walls and tears in the wallpaper and repainting or re-wallpapering such walls and closing any such slab penetrations) any and all damage done to the Premises or the Building by the removal of Tenant’s Property or by the removal of leasehold improvements, alterations or other physical additions made by Tenant to the Premises which Landlord has directed or otherwise permitted Tenant to remove from the Premises. Tenant shall notify Landlord of its intention to affect the closing of any such slab penetrations at least thirty (30) days prior to commencing such closings. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property by the Expiration Date or any sooner date of termination of the Lease or, if Tenant fails to remove any Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises which are required to be removed pursuant to Section 8 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, on the fifth (5th) day after Landlord’s delivery of written notice to Tenant to deem such property abandoned by Tenant and to remove, store, sell, discard or otherwise deal with or dispose of such abandoned property in a commercially reasonable manner.

In reviewing Tenant’s Antenna plans Landlord may reasonably consider, among other things, material interference of Tenant’s Antenna(s) with existing antenna and communication equipment on the roof of the Building. The cost of installation and maintenance thereof, and the cost of any repairs to the roof which are necessitated by the installation, repair and/or removal of the Antenna(s) shall be borne solely by Tenant.

42

 

(c)                                  Tenant shall work exclusively with Landlord’s roofing contractor relating to the installation and/or removal of the Antenna and the roof penetration so as not to violate any requirements or invalidate Landlord’s roof guaranty.

 

(d)                                 Wherever Landlord’s approval is required pursuant to this Section 37, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

38.                               INDEMNIFICATION OF TENANT; LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

All insurance procured by the Landlord shall contain an endorsement waiving all rights of subrogation against Tenant. The foregoing indemnity obligation of Landlord shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees, investigation costs and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant from the first notice that any claim or demand is to be made or may be made with respect to matters covered by the indemnity. The provisions of this Section 38(a) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring prior to such expiration or termination.

 

(b)                                 Landlord shall, during the Term, procure and maintain or cause to be procured and maintained:

 

(i)                                     commercial general liability (CGL) insurance. CGL insurance shall be written using an occurrence form and shall cover liability arising from premises operations, independent contractors, product completed operations, and personal injury and advertising injury, with an insurance company acceptable by the owner. Landlord shall maintain CGL insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence, and $2,000,000 million aggregate The foregoing insurance may be provided by a combination of Landlord’s primary and umbrella policies.

 

(ii)                                  “Special Cause of Loss”, including theft and leakage from fire protective equipment, form property insurance in respect of the Building, excluding Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and personal property, for the full replacement value of the Building;

 

43

 

(iii)                               Loss of rental income insurance.

 

together with such other insurance as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, elects to obtain. Subject to and without limiting the foregoing, insurance effected by Landlord shall be in amounts which Landlord shall from time to time determine reasonable and sufficient, shall be subject to such deductibles and exclusions which Landlord may deem reasonable and shall otherwise be on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall from time to time determine reasonable and sufficient. If requested by Tenant, certificates of insurance for such insurance shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant on or before the Date of this Lease and at least annually thereafter. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such policy to contain an endorsement prohibiting cancellation or reduction of coverage without first giving Tenant at least thirty (30) prior days’ written notice. Tenant shall be named as an additional insured on the commercial general liability insurance required to be maintained by the Landlord under this Lease with respect to the Common Areas of the Building only. Landlord’s liability insurance shall be primary with respect to the Common Areas.

 

39.                               LANDLORD’S DEFAULT

 

(a)                                  Landlord shall not be deemed in default under the terms of this Lease unless (i) Landlord shall fail to pay any amount payable hereunder when and as such sum becomes due and payable and such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant or (ii) Landlord shall fail to perform its obligations under this Lease for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default shall have been received by Landlord (except in the event of an Emergency, in which case no notice or cure period shall be required), provided that if the curing of such default reasonably requires in excess of thirty (30) days (except in the case of an Emergency), Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder if it shall commence to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure, then Tenant shall have its rights and remedies provided at law and in equity and pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Lease, if any such default materially and adversely affects Tenant’s use of the Premises then, Tenant shall have the right but not the obligation to cure or correct said default provided Tenant shall give Landlord five (5) days’ prior written notice of its intention to cure or correct the Landlord default (and for defaults for which Landlord is provided a five (5) day cure period, Landlord has failed to cure said default within such five (5) day cure period) except in an Emergency when only reasonable notice will be provided.

 

(b)                                  In connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, Tenant shall use reasonable efforts not to materially and adversely affect other tenants’ occupancy of the Building and Tenant may only engage the Landlord’s standard contractors to perform any work involving the Critical Building Systems (as hereinafter defined). If Tenant elects to cure as aforesaid, Tenant (i) shall, to the extent feasible and practical, as determined by Tenant, coordinate the exercise of any self-help remedies with Landlord, and (ii) may demand payment from Landlord of those reasonable and

 

44

 

necessary costs paid by Tenant to effect such cure or correction. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s request (together with reasonable back-up), reimburse to Tenant all such reasonable and necessary costs actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such cure or correction. If Landlord fails to pay such costs or any other sums due Tenant under this Lease to Tenant within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant may deduct such costs from the next due installments of Basic Rental and all other sums payable under this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by Landlord and caused by the negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s contractors in performing any such work pursuant to this Section 39. As used in this Section 39, the term “Critical Building Systems” shall mean the fire and life safety systems, Building management systems, roofing and the tie in of fire and life safety systems of the Premises into the Building systems.

 

(c)                                   The provisions of this Section 39 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE

 

HIGBEE MOTHERSHIP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and QUICKEN LOANS INC., a Michigan corporation (“Tenant”), enter into this First Amendment to Lease (this “Amendment”) dated June 20, 2016.

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                    Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated May 20, 2016 (the “Lease”), with respect to certain premises consisting of 73,757 rentable square feet on the fourth floor and 41,780 rentable square foot on the fifth floor (the “Demised Premises”) in the building located at One Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44113 (the “Building”).

 

B.                                    Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as more particularly set forth herein.

 

C.                                    Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, and conditions set forth herein and in the Lease, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant do hereby covenant, promise and agree that the Lease is amended as follows:

 

1.                                      Commencement Date. The Commencement Date as stated in Section 1(e) is amended to be July 11, 2016; notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s lease of the fifth floor portion of the Demised Premises shall commence on July 25, 2016. Rent shall be prorated for the month of July 2016 such that Tenant pays Basic Rental for twenty-one days with respect to the fourth floor portion of the Demised Premises and seven days with respect to the fifth floor portion of the Demised Premises.

 

2.                                      Expiration Date. The Expiration Date as stated in Section 1(g) is amended to be December 31, 2026.

 

3.                                      Termination Right. For purposes of clarity, Section 47 is hereby deleted in its entirety and amended as follows:

 

“Provided an Event of Default does not exist on the date set for exercise or the date set for termination and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Tenant shall have the one-time right during the thirty days immediately following the end of the seventy-eighth full calendar month of the Term (such thirty-day period being hereinafter referred to as, the “Termination Notice Period”), to provide Landlord written notice of its intent to terminate the Lease (the “Termination Notice”). In the event Tenant timely delivers such Termination Notice to Landlord during the Termination Notice Period, this Lease shall terminate effective as of the end of the eighty-fourth full calendar month of the initial Term. In the event Tenant fails to deliver the Termination Notice during the Termination

Notice Period, Tenant’s termination right under this Section 47 shall be of no further force and effect. Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 47 is expressly conditioned upon Tenant timely paying the Termination Payment (as hereinafter defined) in immediately available funds and strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section, time being of the essence. For purposes of this Lease, the “Termination Payment” shall be an amount equal to the then unamortized amount of the Tenant Allowance paid by Landlord. The Termination Payment shall be due on or before the effective termination date.”

 

4.                                      Porter Services. Item F.10 in Exhibit “D” of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and amended as follows:

 

“At Tenant’s cost (without mark-up), Landlord shall provide one day porter per full floor leased during the hours of 8am - 5pm Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) exclusively servicing the Premises during the same hours and days of operation, excluding holidays. Tenant will have the ability to request additional porters from time to time.”

 

5.                                      Brokerage Commissions. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant each to the other that they have not dealt with any real estate broker in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Amendment other than Bedrock Management Services LLC (“Broker”). If either party breaches the foregoing representation and warranty it shall indemnify the other party against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any other broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the breaching party.

 

6.                                      Ratification. Tenant and Landlord each hereby ratify and confirm its respective obligations under the Lease, and represents and warrants to each other that it has no defenses thereto. Additionally, Tenant further confirms and ratifies that, as of the date hereof, the Lease is and remains in good standing and in full force and effect, and Tenant does not have any claims, counterclaims, set-offs or defenses against Landlord arising out of the Lease or in any way relating thereto or arising out of any other transaction between Landlord and Tenant.

 

7.                                      Binding Effect; Conflicts; Governing Law. Except as modified hereby, the Lease shall remain in full effect and this Amendment shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors and assigns. If any inconsistency exists or arises between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Demised Premises are located.

 

8.                                      Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, and via electronic or facsimile delivery each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
