3.2          Early Occupancy. Commencing on the Delivery Date, Tenant shall have the right to access the Premises for the construction of its Improvements (as described in Article 22 below) and to install Tenant’s cabling, furniture, fixtures and, equipment fifteen (15) business days prior to the Commencement Date (“Early Occupancy Period”) and shall have no obligation to pay Annual Rent or Occupancy Cost during the Early Occupancy Period, provided Tenant

does not commence business from the Premises. During the Early Occupancy Period, Landlord will make available to Tenant and Tenant’s Contractor’s (as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto) (at no cost to Tenant) Building services, including HVAC, electrical to the Premises and access to the Building’s freight elevator, provided Tenant (or its designee) coordinates with Landlord, a schedule for such move-in at times and in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s general operation of the Building.

 

3.3          Delayed Possession. Subject to Article 22 below, if for any reason Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant for the commencement of its Improvements on the Delivery Date, then Tenant shall take possession of the Premises on the date not later than sixty (60) days thereafter when Landlord delivers possession of all the Premises, which date shall be conclusively established by notice to Tenant at least five days before such date. In the event of any delay in the Delivery Date, then the Commencement Date shall be extended on a day for day basis for each day of delay. In the event Landlord fails to deliver the Premises within such time period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time after the expiration of such sixty (60) day period with ten (10) days written notice at any time thereafter. In the event that Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant in such ten (10) business day period, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

 

3.4          Acceptance of Premises. Subject to Landlord completing Landlord’s Work as described in Article 22 below, on the Delivery Date Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in its “as-is” condition for the commencement of Tenant’s Improvements as described in Article 22 of the Lease. Taking possession of all or any portion of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that the Premises or such portion thereof are in satisfactory condition on the date of taking possession, subject to any latent defects to Landlord’s Work as described in Section 2.1 above.

Notwithstanding the Rent Concession Period, Tenant agrees that its obligation to pay the Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs (as described hereafter) payments abated hereunder during the Rent Concession Period shall continue throughout the Term of the Lease; provided, however, that such amounts shall only become due and payable if Tenant commits an Event of Default and Landlord commences and is successful in an action to recover Rent and/or possession of the Premises. If an Event of Default exists hereunder pursuant to Article 19, after any cure period and Landlord commences an action to recover Rent and/or possession of the Premises, then the unamortized portion of abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs payments as of the date of such Event of Default, shall become immediately due and payable with interest on such sums at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the Event of Default. Annual Rent during the Rent Concession Period shall be calculated at $21.00 per rentable square foot of space in the Premises. Occupancy Costs during the Rent Concession Period shall be calculated in accordance with the Lease. Tenant’s obligation for the unamortized portion of abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs not collected during the Rent Concession Period shall be independent of and in addition to Landlord’s other damages pursuant to Article 19 of the Lease. Abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs shall be amortized using an 8% interest factor on a straight-line basis over the initial Term of the Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase to Occupancy Costs in any Fiscal Year shall be limited to five percent (5%) (on a cumulative basis) over the prior Occupancy Costs paid during the prior Fiscal Years, which limit shall not apply to (i) Taxes.

Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or set-off (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease), in legal tender of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, at the address of Landlord as set forth in the beginning of this Lease, or to such other person or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

If the Term begins or ends on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the installment of Annual Rent payable for such partial calendar month of the Term shall be that proportion of the Annual Rent which the number of days from the first day of such partial calendar month to the last day of the partial calendar month bears to 365 days.

 

4.6          Payment - Occupancy Costs.

 

(a)           Prior to the Commencement Date and the beginning of each Fiscal Year thereafter, Landlord shall compute and deliver to Tenant a bona fide estimate of Occupancy Costs for the appropriate Fiscal Year and without further notice Tenant shall pay to Landlord in monthly installments one-twelfth of such estimate simultaneously with Tenant’s payments of Annual Rent during such Fiscal Year. Any failure by Landlord to deliver any such estimate as aforesaid shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay Occupancy Costs as herein provided. If at any time it reasonably appears to Landlord that the Occupancy Costs for the current Fiscal Year will vary from Landlord’s estimate then Landlord may prospectively readjust the Occupancy Costs for such Fiscal Year by written notice delivered to Tenant, but not more often than one (1) time per Fiscal Year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such Fiscal Year will be based upon such readjusted Occupancy Costs.

 

(b)           Unless delayed by causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant within 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year a written statement (the “Statement”) setting out in reasonable detail the amount of Occupancy Costs for such Fiscal Year and certified to be correct by a representative of Landlord. If the aggregate of monthly installments of Occupancy Costs actually paid by Tenant to Landlord during such Fiscal Year differs from the amount of Occupancy Costs payable for such Fiscal Year under Section 4.2 as indicated in the Statement, then, as the case may be, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord or Landlord shall issue a credit to Tenant against the Rent next remaining to be paid hereunder for the difference, or if no Rent then remains to be paid, refund the difference to Tenant, without interest, within 30 days after the date of delivery of the Statement.

 

(c)           If Tenant disagrees with the accuracy of Occupancy Costs as set forth in the Statement or in any adjustment thereto made by Landlord pursuant to subsection 4.6(d), Tenant shall be required to give Landlord written notice thereof within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date Landlord gives Tenant the Statement or notice of adjustment thereto, as the case may be, or Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have accepted the accuracy of the Statement, or modification thereto, as the case may be, and to have waived any right to claim any readjustment in connection therewith. If Tenant so disagrees with the Statement, or modification thereto, as the case may be, and gives such notice to Landlord, Tenant shall nevertheless make payment in accordance with any notice given by Landlord, but the disagreement shall be referred by Landlord for prompt decision by a mutually acceptable nationally or regionally recognized public accountant, who shall be unaffiliated with and unrelated to either Landlord or Tenant or any of their member, partners, officers, directors or employees, who shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not arbitrator, and a written determination signed by the selected expert, and

 

6

 

duly certified to both Landlord and Tenant, shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Any adjustment required to any previous payment made by Tenant or Landlord by reason of any such decision shall be made within thirty (30) days after resolution of the amount. In the event that the adjustment to the Occupancy Costs that were the subject of the disagreement represents (i) less than five percent (5%), Tenant shall bear all costs of the expert making such determination; otherwise Landlord shall bear all costs of the expert making such determination.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

11.1        Assignment. Tenant, if not then in default beyond any applicable cure period under this Lease and with Landlord’s prior written consent, may assign this Lease, subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, to any assignee who, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, will not be inconsistent with the character of the Building and its other tenants, will use the Premises in a manner consistent with Article 5 thereof, and has the financial capability of complying with the then remaining obligations of Tenant hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable cure period under this Lease, Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent (but with the obligation of written notice to Landlord), may assign this Lease to an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or with or into which Tenant is merged, reorganized, or consolidated; or which purchases or accepts a transfer of Tenant’s stock, or which purchases all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, other

than by the operation of law which is otherwise prohibited by this Lease (each a “Permitted Transferee”). For purposes of this Section 11.1, “control” means the direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of an entity’s equity.

 

11.2        Subleasing. Tenant, if not then in default beyond any applicable cure period under this Lease and with Landlord’s prior written consent and subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, may sublet all or any part of the Premises to a sublessee who, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, will not be inconsistent with the character of the Building and its other tenants, will use the Premises in a manner consistent with Article 5 thereof, and has the financial capability of complying with its obligations set forth in the sublease. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable cure period under this Lease, Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent (but with the obligation of written notice to Landlord), may sublet all or part of the Premises to a Permitted Transferee.

 

11.3        First Offer to Landlord. Subject to Section 11.4 below, if Tenant wishes to sublet all or any part of the Premises pursuant to Section 11.2 above (except to a Permitted Transferee) prior to Tenant offering or accepting an offer to sublease the space to any third party, Tenant shall first offer in writing to sublet to Landlord on such terms as Tenant is willing to sublease to a third party. If Tenant wishes to assign this Lease (except to a Permitted Transferee) pursuant to Section 11.1 above, then prior to Tenant offering or accepting an offer to assign the Premises to any third party, Tenant shall first offer to Landlord in writing to surrender this Lease on the effective date of the proposed assignment by Tenant. Landlord will have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of Tenant’s offer to sublease or assign either to accept or reject it in writing. If Landlord fails to provide written notice of acceptance within said 15-day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected Tenant’s offer, If Landlord accepts the offer, Tenant will then execute and deliver to Landlord, or to any party designated or named by Landlord, an assignment or sublease, as the case may be. If Landlord rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, Tenant’s offer to sublease or assign this Lease, then Tenant shall have the right to offer to sublease or assign to a third party on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, and Landlord shall have no right to recapture; provided, if Tenant does not enter into a sublease or assignment with a third party within six (6) months from Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, Tenant shall again be obligated to re-offer the space to Landlord.

Except as specifically provided in this Article 11.0, Tenant shall not assign or transfer this Lease or any interest therein or sublet or in any way part with possession of all or any part of the Premises, or permit all or any part of the Premises to be used or occupied by any other person. Any assignment, transfer or subletting or purported assignment, transfer or subletting except as specifically provided herein shall be null and void and of no force and effect without limiting Landlord’s right to approve or disapprove any assignment or sublease pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.2 hereof. Except as provided above for Permitted Transferees, Landlord shall not be required to consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or part of the Premises by Tenant to, or the use or occupancy of all or part of the Premises by, any tenant in the Building. The rights and interests of Tenant under this Lease shall not be assignable by operation of law without Landlord’s written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s absolute discretion. Except with respect to an assignment or sublease to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately upon receipt by Tenant from time to time fifty percent (50%) of (a) all consideration paid by the assignee under an approved assignment for Tenant’s

 

17

 

leasehold under this Lease in excess of the Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, excluding any consideration paid for Tenant’s personal property and other assets (excluding improvements and fixtures that are required to remain in the Premises at the end of the Term), the value of Tenant’s business as a going concern, Tenant’s Work paid for by Tenant in excess of the Allowance as provided in Article 22, and subsequent alterations paid for by Tenant, or (b) all revenue from any approved sublease which exceeds the sum of (i) all Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease in respect of the Premises being subleased for the period of time to which such revenue under such sublease relates, and (ii) any actual, reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such subleasing, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, improvement allowances, and rent concessions. All such amounts shall constitute Rent and be subject to all terms and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Article 19 hereof.

11.5        Tenant’s Obligations Continue. No assignment, transfer or subletting (or use or occupation of the Premises by any other person) which is permitted under this Article 11 shall in any way release or relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.

 

11.6        Subsequent Assignments. Landlord’s consent to an assignment, transfer or subletting (or use or occupation of the Premises by any other person) shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, transfer, subletting, use or occupation, all of which shall be permitted only in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11.

 

11.7        Building Directory Changes. The listing or posting of any name, other than that of Tenant, whether on the door or exterior wall of the Premises, the Building’s tenant directory in the lobby or elevator, or elsewhere, shall not:

 

(a)           constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to withhold consent to any sublet or assignment pursuant to this Article 11;

 

(b)           be deemed an implied consent by Landlord to any sublet of the Premises or any portion thereof, to any assignment or transfer of the Lease, or to any unauthorized occupancy of the Premises, except in accordance with the express terms of the Lease; or

 

(c)           operate to vest any right or interest in the Lease or in the Premises.

12.3        Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the cancellation of this Lease by mutual agreement of Tenant and Landlord shall not work a merger, and shall at Landlord’s option terminate all or any subleases and subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of all or any subleases or subtenancies.

14.3        Modification. Landlord may from time to time, for the purposes set out in Section 14.1, amend, delete from, or add to the Rules and Regulations, provided that any such modification

EMINENT DOMAIN

 

15.1        Taking of Premises. If during the Term, all of the Building or the Premises is permanently taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or purchased under threat of such taking, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date on which the condemning authority takes possession of the Premises (the “Date of Such Taking”).

 

15.2        Partial Taking of Building. If during the Term, only part but a substantial part of the Building is taken or purchased as set out in Section 15.1, then

 

(a)           if in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building is necessary or desirable as a result thereof, whether or not the Premises are or may be affected, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant at least 30 days written notice of such termination, provided that Landlord also terminates the leases of similarly situated or affected tenants, which notice shall be given within 30 days after the Date of Such Taking, and

 

(b)           if more than 25% of the rentable square feet in the Premises is included in such taking or purchase, and Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with comparable contiguous replacement premises in the Project, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof, which notice shall be given within the later to occur of 30 days after Landlord confirms that it is not able to provide Tenant with comparable contiguous replacement premises in the Building, or 30 days after the Date of Such Taking, if in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, the Premises cannot be operated by Tenant in an economically viable fashion because of such partial taking.

 

21

15.3        Surrender. On any such date of taking under Sections 15.1 or 15.2, Tenant shall immediately surrender to Landlord the Premises or portion thereof taken and all interests therein under this Lease. Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises, or portion thereof taken, and remove Tenant therefrom, and the Rent shall no longer accrue from the Date of Such Taking, as to the Premises or portion thereof taken, and if only a portion of the Premises is included as a part of such taking, then that portion of the Rent attributable to such portion, determined by Landlord pro rata based on the number of rentable square feet contained within Such portion, shall no longer accrue from the Date of Such Taking_ After such termination, and on notice from Landlord stating the Rent then owing, Tenant shall forthwith pay Landlord such Rent.

 

15.4        Partial Taking of Premises. If any portion of the Premises (but less than the whole thereof) is so taken, and no rights of termination herein conferred are timely exercised, the Term of this Lease shall expire with respect to the portion so taken on the Date of Such Taking. In such event, the Rent payable hereunder with respect to such portion so taken shall no longer accrue from such date, and the Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs thereafter payable with respect to the remainder not so taken shall be adjusted pro rata by Landlord in order to account for the resulting reduction in the number of square feet in the Premises.

DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

 

16.1        Limited Damage to Premises. If all or part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by damage from fire or other casualty which in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, as set forth in a written notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the casualty, can be substantially repaired under applicable laws and governmental regulations within 270 days from the date of such casualty (employing normal construction methods without overtime or other premium), Landlord shall within said 270 days (subject to the rights of any mortgagee of the

 

22

 

Land or the Building in and to such insurance proceeds), repair such damage, including damage to the leasehold improvements in the Premises paid for by Landlord and improvements made by Tenant and not designated by Landlord to be removed at the end of the Term. Landlord will not be required to repair any damage to any leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant and required to be removed at the end of the Term in excess of the amount covered by proceeds from Tenant’s insurance policy covering such improvements. Landlord will have no obligation to repair or restore any other property of Tenant (such as Tenant’s furniture or trade fixtures), and Tenant, at its expense, will repair or restore such property to the extent Tenant elects.

16.2        Major Damage to Premises. If all or part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by damage from fire or other casualty which in Landlord’s or Tenant’s reasonable opinion, as set forth in a written notice given to Tenant or Landlord given within sixty (60) days after the casualty, cannot be substantially repaired under applicable laws and governmental regulations within 270 days from the date of such casualty (employing normal construction methods without overtime or other premium), then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by written notice delivered to the other not more than thirty (30) days after the first notice described in this Section 16.2, failing which Landlord shall as soon as reasonably practical (subject to the rights of any mortgagee of the Land or the Building in and to such insurance proceeds), repair such damage other than damage to improvements, furniture, chattels or trade fixtures which do not belong to Landlord, which shall be repaired forthwith by Tenant at its own expense.

 

16.3        Abatement. If Landlord is required to repair damage to all or part of the Premises under Sections 16.1 or 16.2, the Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs payable by Tenant hereunder shall be proportionately reduced based on the number of square feet within the Premises which are thereby rendered untenantable from the date of such casualty until five days after completion by Landlord of the repairs to the Premises (or the part thereof rendered untenantable) or until Tenant again uses the Premises (or the part thereof rendered untenantable) in its business, whichever first occurs.

 

16.4        Major Damage to Building. If all or a substantial part (whether or not including the Premises) of the Building is rendered untenantable by damage from fire or other casualty to such a material extent that Landlord determines not to repair the same. Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty (or on the date of notice if the Premises are unaffected by such casualty) by written notice delivered to Tenant not more than 60 days after the date of such casualty, and provided Landlord terminates the leases of similarly situated tenants. If Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, but only to the extent that sufficient insurance proceeds are available therefor (and subject to the rights of any mortgagee of the Land or the Building in and to such insurance proceeds), commence repair of the damaged portion of the Building, and the Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, subject to Section 16.3 above. If Landlord does not receive insurance proceeds sufficient to restore the Building, Landlord shall provide written notice thereof to Tenant promptly upon becoming aware of same, and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice.

 

23

 

16.5        Limitation on Landlord’s Liability. Except as specifically provided in this Article 16, there shall be no reduction of Rent and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or property arising from fire or other casualty, howsoever caused, or from the making of any repairs resulting therefrom in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises.

However, a holder of any mortgage or deed of trust may elect to subordinate, in whole or in part, by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the holder, the mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the current lender the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F; provided the parties acknowledge that Exhibit F includes Tenant’s requested changes to lender’s standard form and Tenant shall be obligated to negotiate any changes included therein directly with lender.

(a)           subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord, excluding Tenant’s express abatement and/or offset rights set forth in this Lease that accrue after the time that Purchaser takes possession of the Building, or

 

(b)           bound by any prepayment by Tenant of more than one month’s installment of Rent, unless such prepayment shall have been approved in writing by, in the case of a transfer in connection with a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings relating to any such mortgage or deed of trust, the mortgagee of Landlord’s interest in the Land or Building, by Purchaser or by any predecessor in interest of Purchaser except Landlord or, in the case of the exercise of the rights under any assignment of leases and rents, by the holder of such assignment of leases and rents or by any predecessor in interest of such holder, or

(d)           liable for any previous act or omission by Landlord under this Lease; provided such Purchaser shall be subject to the obligations of Landlord hereunder during the period of Purchaser’s ownership of the Building or Land, or

 

25

 

(e)           obligated with respect to any security deposit under this Lease unless such security deposit has been physically delivered to Purchaser or holder of any assignment of leases and rents, as the case may be, or

 

(f)            bound or liable under any provisions in this Lease whereby Landlord assumed the obligations of Tenant covering space in other buildings.

 

17.7        Execution of Instruments.

Tenant shall at any time and from time to time, within 10 days after Landlord’s written request, execute, acknowledge and deliver a written statement, with the form and substance of such notice and the party or parties to whom it is addressed to be reasonably determined by Landlord, ratifying this Lease and, except as otherwise noted by Tenant in the statement, certifying as to the truth or untruth of the matters as are set forth in such statement. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective transferee or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or any assignee of any such persons. If Tenant fails to timely deliver such statement, Tenant shall be deemed to have acknowledged that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, and that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance.

 

18.3        Authorities for Action. Landlord may act in any matter provided for herein by its property manager, or any of its officers or general partners and any other person who shall from time to time be designated by Landlord by notice to Tenant. Tenant shall designate in writing one or more persons to act on its behalf in any matter provided for herein and may from time to time change, by notice to Landlord, such designation. In the absence of any such designation, the person or persons executing this Lease for Tenant and Landlord shall be deemed to be authorized to act on behalf of Tenant and Landlord respectively, in any matter provided for herein.

 

ARTICLE 19

 

TENANT’S DEFAULT AND LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

 

19.1        Interest and Costs. Tenant shall pay monthly to Landlord interest at a rate equal to the 1.5% per month, on all Rent required to be paid hereunder from the due date for payment thereof until the same is fully paid and satisfied. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all costs and charges (including legal fees) lawfully and reasonably incurred in enforcing payment thereof, and in obtaining possession of the Premises after default of Tenant or upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, or in enforcing any covenant, proviso or agreement of Tenant herein contained.

 

19.2        Events of Default. Each of the following events will constitute a material breach by Tenant and an “Event of Default” under this Lease:

 

(a)           Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant fails to pay Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs or any Other Charges payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease when due, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure; provided that with respect to Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs, Tenant will be entitled to only two notices of such failure during any calendar year and if, after two such notices are given in any calendar year, Tenant fails, during such calendar year, to pay any such amounts when due, such failure will constitute an Event of Default without further notice by Landlord or additional cure period.

 

27

 

(b)           Failure to Perform Other Obligations. Tenant breaches or fails to comply in with any other provision of this Lease applicable to Tenant, and such breach or noncompliance continues for a period of ten (10) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant; or, if such breach or noncompliance cannot be reasonably cured within such ten (10) day period, Tenant does not in good faith continuously and diligently commence to cure such breach or noncompliance within such ten (10) day period, and does not diligently complete such cure within forty five (45) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord. However, if such breach or noncompliance causes or results in (I) a dangerous condition on the Premises or Building, (ii) any insurance coverage carried by Landlord or Tenant with respect to the Premises or Building being jeopardized, or (iii) a material disturbance to another tenant, then an Event of Default will exist if such breach or noncompliance is not cured as soon as reasonably possible after notice by Landlord to Tenant, and in any event is not cured within ten (10) days after such notice. For purposes of this subsection 19.2(b), financial inability will not be deemed a reasonable ground for failure to immediately cure any breach of, or failure to comply with, the provisions of this Lease.

 

(c)           Transfer of interest Without Consent. Tenant’s interest under this Lease or in the Premises is transferred or passes to, or devolves upon, any other party in violation of Article 11.

 

(d)           Execution and Attachment Against Tenant. Tenant’s interest under this Lease or in the Premises is taken upon execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant, or is subject to any attachment by any creditor or claimant against Tenant and such attachment is not discharged or disposed of within 20 days after levy.

 

(e)           Bankruptcy or Related Proceedings. Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or for reorganization or arrangement under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or voluntarily takes advantage of any such laws by answer or otherwise, or dissolves or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or involuntary proceedings under any such laws or for the dissolution of Tenant are instituted against Tenant, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for the Premises or for all or substantially all of Tenant’s property, and such proceedings are not dismissed or such receivership or trusteeship vacated within 60 days after such institution or appointment.

 

19.3        Landlord’s Remedies. Time is of the essence. If any Event of Default occurs, Landlord will have the right, at Landlord’s election, then or at any later time, to exercise any one or more of the remedies described below. Exercise of any of such remedies will not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise for any other remedy provided for in this Lease or otherwise available to Landlord at law or in equity.

 

(a)           Cure by Landlord. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option but without obligation to do so, and without releasing Tenant from any obligations under this Lease, make any payment or take any action as Landlord reasonably deems necessary or desirable to cure any Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Landlord deems necessary or desirable. Landlord may do so without additional demand on, or additional written notice to, Tenant and without giving Tenant an additional opportunity to cure such an Event of Default. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord, upon demand, all advances, costs and expenses of

 

28

 

Landlord in connection with making any such payment or taking any such action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, together with interest at the rate described in Section 19.1 from the date of payment of any such advances, costs and expenses by Landlord.

 

(b)           Termination of Lease and Damages. Landlord may terminate this Lease, effective at such time as may be specified by written notice to Tenant, and demand (and, if such demand is refused, recover) possession of the Premises from Tenant. Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges which would have been owing by Tenant for the balance of the Term had this Lease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to such termination, after deducting all Landlord’s expenses in connection with such recovery of possession or reletting. Landlord will be entitled to collect and receive such damages from Tenant on the days on which the Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges would have been payable if this Lease had not been terminated. Alternatively, at Landlord’s option, Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant, as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum equal to (i) all unpaid Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges for any period prior to the termination date of this Lease (including interest from the due date to the date of the award at the rate described in Section 19.1), plus any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord for events or actions occurring prior to the termination date; plus (ii) the present value at the time of termination (calculated at the Prime Rate of the Wells Fargo Denver, N.A. or its successor on the termination date) of the amount, if any, by which (A) the aggregate of the Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs, and all Other Charges payable by Tenant under this Lease that would have accrued for the balance the Term after termination (with respect to Occupancy Costs, such aggregate will be calculated by assuming that Occupancy Costs for the Fiscal Year in which termination occurs and for each subsequent Fiscal Year remaining in the Term of this Lease had not been terminated will increase by 8% per year over the amount of Occupancy Costs for the prior Fiscal Year), exceeds (B) the amount of such Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges which Landlord will receive for the remainder of the Term from any reletting of the Premises occurring prior to the date of the award, or if the Premises have not been relet prior to the date of the award the amount, if any, of such Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges which could reasonably be recovered reletting the Premises for the remainder of the Term at the then-current fair rental value, in either case taking into consideration loss of Rent while finding a new tenant, the amortized portion of the tenant improvements provided for a new tenant for the remainder of the Term, and rent abatements necessary to secure a new tenant, leasing brokers’ commissions and other costs which Landlord has incurred or might incur in leasing the Premises to new tenant; plus (iii) interest on the amount described in (ii) above from the termination date to the date of the award at the rate described in Section 19.1.

 

(c)           Repossession and Reletting. Landlord may lawfully reenter and take possession of all or any part of the Premises, without additional demand or notice, and repossess the same and expel Tenant and any party claiming by, through or under Tenant, and remove the effects of both as and to the extent permitted by Colorado law, without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or right to bring any proceeding for breach of covenants or conditions. No such reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord will be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No notice from Landlord or notice given under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar laws

 

29

 

will constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right, following any reentry or reletting, to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in which event the Lease will terminate as specified in such notice. After recovering possession of the Premises, Landlord may, from time to time, but will not be obligated to, relet all or any part of the Premises for Tenant’s account, for such term or terms and on such conditions and other terms as Landlord, in its discretion, determines. Landlord may make such repairs, alterations or improvements as Landlord considers appropriate to accomplish such reletting, and Tenant will reimburse Landlord upon demand for al] costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Landlord may incur in connection with such reletting. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for such reletting but Landlord will in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or for any inability to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Regardless of Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Premises, Tenant will continue to pay on the dates specified in this Lease, the Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs, and Other Charges which would be payable if such repossession had not occurred, less a credit for the net amounts, if any, actually received by Landlord through any reletting of the Premises. Alternatively, at Landlord’s option, Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant, as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum equal to (i) all unpaid Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges for any period prior to the repossession date (including interest from the due date to the date of the award at the rate described in Section 19.1), plus any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord for events or actions occurring prior to the repossession date plus (ii) the present value at the time of repossession (calculated at the Prime Rate of the Wells Fargo Denver, N. A. or its successor on the repossession date) of the amount, if any, by which (A) the aggregate of the Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and all Other Charges payable by Tenant under this Lease that would have accrued for the balance of the Term after repossession (with respect to Occupancy Costs, such aggregate will be calculated by assuming that Occupancy Costs for the Fiscal Year in which repossession occurs and for each subsequent Fiscal Year remaining in the Term if Landlord had not repossessed the Premises will increase by 8% per year over the amount of Occupancy Costs for the prior Fiscal Year), exceeds (13) the amount of such Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges which Landlord will receive for the remainder of the Term from any reletting of the Premises occurring prior to the date of the award, the amount, if any, of such Annual Rent, Occupancy Costs and Other Charges which could reasonably be recovered by reletting the Premises for the remainder of the Term at the then-current fair rental value, in either case taking into consideration loss of Rent while finding a new tenant, the amortized portion of tenant improvements provided to a new tenant for the remainder of the Term, and rent abatements necessary to secure a new tenant, leasing brokers’ commissions and other costs which Landlord has incurred or might incur in leasing the Premises to a new tenant: plus (iii) interest on the amount described in (ii) above from the repossession date to the date of the award at the rate described in Section 19.1.

 

(d)           Bankruptcy Relief. Nothing contained in this Lease will limit or prejudice Landlord’s right to prove and obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or dissolution proceeding, an amount equal to the maximum allowable by any laws governing such proceeding in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal or less than the amounts recoverable, either as damages or Rent, under this Lease.

 

30

 

19.4        Effect on Subleases. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

 

19.5        Landlord Default and Self Help. If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant will notify Landlord in writing of the default and Landlord will have a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, to cure the default; provided, however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord will have an additional reasonable period of time to cure the default as long as Landlord commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations required by Article 6, and such failure solely and materially affects Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, then after notice and Landlord’s failure to cure such breach within such thirty (30) day period thereafter, or such reasonable additional period if Landlord is diligently and continuously proceeding with such repair, then Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord written notice and thereafter proceed to repair or replace any condition necessary to cure such default, and offset Tenant’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to such cure against 50% of the next installments of Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs, until such costs are fully recovered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to take any action that will (i) affect any structural component of the Building or Building systems, or (ii) have a material adverse effect of any other Project tenant or occupant; and provided further, that Tenant shall release, indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord from and against all claims arising from Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Section 19.6. The pursuit of the remedy provided for in this Section does not exclude the simultaneous pursuit of any other available remedy, including injunctive relief.

ARTICLE 21

 

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

 

21.1        Limitation of Responsibility. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all telephone and telecommunications services desired by Tenant shall be ordered and utilized at the sole expense of Tenant. Unless Landlord otherwise requests or consents in writing, all of Tenant’s telecommunications equipment (other than connections) shall be and remain solely in Tenant’s Premises, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing, Landlord shall have no responsibility for the maintenance of Tenant’s telecommunications equipment, including wiring; or for any wiring or other infrastructure to which Tenant’s telecommunications equipment may be connected. Tenant agrees that, to the extent any such service is interrupted, curtailed, or discontinued, Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto, and it shall be the sole obligation of Tenant at its expense to obtain substitute service; provided, however, Landlord shall be responsible for any damages arising from Landlord’s malicious and willful discontinuance or interference with Tenant’s telecommunication equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to its prorata share and access to the Building riser system to install its telecommunication cabling at no additional cost (other than any cost charged by any third party service provider related to the riser space) provided such installation does not interfere with other telecommunication systems, is coordinated with Landlord, and does not exceed Tenant’s pro rata share of the riser space.

 

21.2        Necessary Service Interruptions. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant (at least 12 hours except in the event of an emergency or if such longer notice is not reasonably feasible or practical), to interrupt or turn off telecommunications facilities in the event of emergency or as necessary in connection with repairs to the Building or Project or installation of telecommunications equipment for other tenants of the Building or Project. In the event of an emergency, Landlord shall provide Tenant as much advance notice as possible. Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to perform any scheduled shutdowns during non-business hours and shall restore services as soon as reasonably practical after the shutdown occurs.

 

21.3        Removal of Equipment, Wiring, and Other Facilities. Any and all telecommunications equipment installed in Tenant’s Premises or elsewhere in the Project, by or on behalf of Tenant, including wiring, or other facilities for telecommunications transmittal, shall be removed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term by Tenant at its sole cost. Landlord shall have the right, however, upon written notice to Tenant given no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term, to require Tenant to abandon and leave in place, without additional payment to Tenant or credit against rent, any and all telecommunications wiring, and related infrastructure, and selected components thereof, whether located in Tenant’s Premises or elsewhere in the Project.

 

21.4        New Provider Installations. Landlord represents that the following companies have an agreement with Landlord to provide telecommunications services in the Project: CenturyLink, Verizon, Cogent, Comcast, Zayo and Level 3. In the event that Tenant wishes at any time to utilize the services of a telephone or telecommunications provider whose equipment

 

34

 

is not then servicing the Project, or to materially expand the services or infrastructure of a provider currently providing service to the Project, no such provider shall be permitted to install its lines or other equipment within the Project without first securing the prior written approval of Landlord. Landlord’s approval shall not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to the suitability, competence, or financial strength of the provider. Without limitation of the foregoing standard, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to refuse to give its approval unless all of the following conditions are satisfied to Landlord’s satisfaction:

 

(a)           Landlord shall incur no expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of the provider’s provision of its services, including, without limitation, the costs of installation, materials, and services;

 

(b)           prior to commencement of any work in or about the Project by the provider, the provider shall supply Landlord with such written indemnities, insurance, financial statements, and such other items as Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary to protect its financial interests and the interests of the Building relating to the proposed activities of the provider;

 

(c)           the provider agrees to abide by such rules and regulations, building and other codes, job site rules, and such other requirements as are reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary to protect the interests of the Project, the tenants in the Project, and Landlord, in the same or similar manner as Landlord has the right to protect itself and the Project with respect to proposed alterations as described in this Lease;

 

(d)           Landlord reasonably determines that there is sufficient space in the Project for the placement of the provider’s equipment and materials;

 

(e)           the provider agrees to abide by Landlord’s requirements, if any, that provider use existing building conduits and pipes or use building contractors (or other contractors approved by Landlord);

 

(f)            Landlord receives from the provider such compensation as is reasonably determined by Landlord to compensate it for space used in the Building and/or Project for the storage and maintenance of the provider’s equipment, and the costs which may reasonably be expected to be incurred by Landlord;

 

(g)           the provider agrees to deliver to Landlord detailed as built plans immediately after the installation of the provider’s equipment is complete; and

 

(h)           all of the foregoing matters are documented in a written license agreement between Landlord and the provider, the form and content of which are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

 

21.5        Provider License Expiration. If the license between any provider and Landlord shall terminate by natural expiration, Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts to notify Tenant at least thirty (30) days before the expiration so Tenant may arrange for alternative service. If

 

35

 

Landlord does not receive advance notice from the provider, or the license expires for any other reason, Landlord shall have no obligation to Tenant.

 

21.6        Limit of Default or Breach. Notwithstanding any provision of the proceeding paragraphs to the contrary, the refusal of Landlord to grant its approval to any prospective telecommunications provider shall not be deemed a default or breach by Landlord of its obligation under this Lease and until Landlord is adjudicated to have acted recklessly or maliciously with respect to Tenant’s request for approval, and in that event, Tenant shall still have no right to terminate the Lease or claim an entitlement to rent abatement, but may, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive recourse, seek a judicial order of specific performance compelling Landlord to grant its approval as to the prospective provider in question. The provisions of this paragraph may be enforced solely by Tenant and Landlord, are not for the benefit of any other party (including any subtenant), and specifically, but without limitation, no telephone or telecommunications provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Lease.

 

21.7        Installation and Use of Wireless Technologies. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not utilize any wireless communications equipment (other than usual and customary cellular telephones and a wireless computer network dedicated to Tenant’s or its invitees, employees and partners sole use), including antennae and satellite receiver dishes, within Tenant’s Premises, the Building, and/or the Project without Landlord’s prior written consent. Such consent may be conditioned in such a manner so as to protect Landlord’s financial interests and the interests of the Project, and the other tenants therein, in a manner similar to the arrangements described in the immediately preceding paragraphs.

 

21.8        Limitation. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant will use and permit the use of the Premises for the sale, lease, license, or otherwise of electronic commerce services to tenants and occupants in the Building that are now or may become customers of Tenant, including, but not limited to, hardware and software services that allow users to conduct business-to-business or business-to consumer services over networks utilizing, by way of example, e-mail, electronic data interchange, data archiving, e-forms, electronic file transfer, facsimile transfers, and similar services. Tenant shall be permitted to market such services to occupants of the Building in the ordinary course of its business in accordance with the normal and customary marketing methods used by Tenant to market to customers and potential customers that are not occupants of the Building; provided, however, that Tenant shall be prohibited from (a) marketing its services to the occupants of the Building as a specifically targeted group or subgroup, (b) utilizing as a selling point in its marking or mentioning to such occupants that Tenant is an occupant of the Building, and (c) permitting its salespeople and other employees to physically canvass, solicit and peddle in the Building.

 

21.9        Limitation of Liability For Equipment Interference. In the event that telecommunications equipment, wiring, and facilities or satellite and antennae equipment of any type installed by or at the request of Tenant within Tenant’s Premises, on the roof, or elsewhere within or on the Project causes interference to equipment used by another party, Tenant shall assume all liability related to such interference. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with Landlord and other parties, to promptly eliminate such interference. In the event that Tenant is unable to do so, Tenant will substitute alternative equipment which remedies the situation. If such interference persists, Tenant shall discontinue the use of such equipment and, at

 

36

 

Landlord’s discretion, remove such equipment according to the foregoing specifications. Landlord shall enforce the provisions of this Section 21.9 against Tenant and all tenants of the Project in a non-discriminatory manner.

 

ARTICLE 22

 

IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE

 

22.1        Improvement Allowance. In addition to the obligation of Landlord to perform “Landlord’s Work” as provided in Section 22.2 below, Landlord shall provide to Tenant an improvement allowance (“Allowance”) in an amount equal Two Million Eight Hundred Sixty-six Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty and no/100 Dollars ($2,866,820.00), based on Fifty-five and no/100 Dollars ($55.00) per rentable square foot of space in the Premises, for the contribution toward all customary hard and soft costs of demolition and construction of the Tenant’s improvements to the Premises, including design and engineering fees, project management and other professional fees (excluding legal), architectural and space planning services, construction and occupancy permitting (“Tenant’s Work”). Tenant shall have the right to apply a portion of the Allowance up to Five Hundred Twenty-one Thousand Two Hundred Forty and no/100 Dollars ($521,240.00) based on Ten and no/100 Dollars ($10.00) per rentable square foot of in the Premises, towards fixturing, security system, data and telecommunication cabling and equipment, data systems, demountable walls, and customary moving expenses reasonably approved by Landlord (the foregoing, together with Tenant’s Work, collectively the “Improvements) all in accordance with the procedures described in Exhibit D.” If Tenant does not use the entire portion of the $10.00 per rentable square foot allocated towards the aforementioned uses, then Tenant shall have the right to apply any unused portion thereof against the next installment(s) of Annual Rent or Occupancy Costs until such unused portion is fully allocated. Landlord will make available (at no cost to Tenant) Building services, including HVAC, standard Building electrical to the Premises and access to the Building’s freight elevator, provided Tenant (or its designee) coordinates with Landlord, a schedule for such times and in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s general operation of the Building; and Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in good faith in connection with the foregoing.

 

Tenant shall be responsible for coordinating the construction of the Improvements and shall have the right to select its own project manager.

Tenant shall be obligated to utilize BCEIR Engineers for Tenant’s mechanical, electrical work, and plumbing design, and Martin/Martin for all structural design. Tenant shall have the right to request the Allowance in no more than four (4) installments, and upon satisfaction of the following items for each draw request, Landlord will pay such installments: (i) Tenant delivers a schedule of values and shows in reasonable detail the completion of the portion of Improvements is proportionate to the amount of the Allowance draw request using the AIA G702 form; (ii) Tenant delivers to Landlord properly executed conditional mechanics’ lien waivers from all of Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors in compliance with all applicable laws; and upon completion and a non-conditional final lien waiver subject to final payment; and (iii) Tenant delivers to Landlord a certificate signed by Tenant’s architect (AIA Application for Payment or equal), in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the construction of the applicable part of the Improvements in the Premises has been substantially completed (for the final draw request only),

subject to minor punch list work. Provided that Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period at any draw request, then within thirty (30) days after satisfaction of items (i) through (iii) above, Landlord shall pay to Tenant all amounts shown in (i) above. All requests for reimbursement in connection with the completion of the Improvements shall be submitted by Tenant to Landlord as provided herein, but in no case later than 180 days following the Commencement Date. In the event Tenant fails to submit invoices for reimbursement on or before the expiration of such 180 day period. Tenant shall forfeit its right to any portion of the Allowance not requested as provided in this Section. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the “hard” construction costs of the Improvements, including cabling but expressly excluding the cost of Landlord’s Work as described below.

 

In addition to the Allowance, Landlord will pay Tenant’s architect, Hampton Architecture, Inc., its space planning allowance, per a separate agreement between Landlord and architect, in an amount not to exceed Twelve cents ($.12) per rentable square foot of the Premises.

Landlord’s Work shall be completed within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Delivery Date.

 

22.3        Allowance Offset. If Landlord fails to pay all or any portion of the Allowance in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.1, then Tenant may offset such unpaid Allowance from the Annual Rent as it becomes due under this Lease until the entire unpaid Allowance amount due has been recovered, together with simple interest at the rate of one-half percent (.5%) per month on such portion thereof as remains unpaid and/or unrecovered each month (calculated from the date Landlord was required to pay the Allowance in full); provided that prior to offsetting any such amount against Annual Rent under this Lease, Tenant shall have (a) given written notice to Landlord of Landlord’s default, which notice shall include the amount of the offset claimed and the basis for the offset claimed, and (b) afforded Landlord the opportunity to cure such default pursuant to the Lease. If and to the extent Landlord’s default has not been timely cured, then Tenant shall have the right to continuously exercise its monthly offset rights without any additional notices to Landlord. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise its offset right for any month on the commencement of which Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond applicable cure periods (i) for failure to pay any monetary obligation, or (ii) for failure to maintain the insurance required under Section 9.2, or (iii) due to the existence of a condition which poses a serious and immediate risk to human health or safety in or around the Premises or Project.

(d)           Unless an allowance, if any, is provided in the determination of Market Rent as provided in Article 24 (in which event Landlord will include it in its determination of Market Rent), Tenant shall take the space in an “as-is” condition with all Improvements to be Tenant’s responsibility at Tenant’s cost; and

ARTICLE 24

 

MARKET RENT

 

24.1        Definition. “Market Rent” means the annual rental amount per square foot together with market concessions, including but not limited to, free rent, tenant improvement allowance, brokerage commissions and other economic inducements and Landlord costs that then exist, which a landlord would receive or provide by then renting the space in question

 

39

 

assuming the landlord to be a prudent person willing to lease but being under no compulsion to do so, assuming the tenant to be a prudent person willing to renew the lease but being under no compulsion to do so, assuming a lease term equal to the term in question in the Building, such concessions, if any, that a renewing tenant would receive in the market place in a similar class building in the Denver CBD, and assuming a lease containing the same terms and provisions, including Occupancy Costs as those contained in this Lease as affected by the terms of such renewal. Market Rent shall be paid as Annual Rent under this Lease, in addition to all other sums payable as Rent by Tenant under this Lease. For purposes of determining the Market Rent, the value of any improvements installed at Tenant’s cost and expense shall not be considered as a factor

 

24.2        Determination on Market Rent. Whenever Annual Rent under this Lease is based on Market Rent, Landlord shall initially determine the Market Rent and provide Tenant written notice of such determination (“Landlord’s Market Rent Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Option Notice.

 

24.3        Disagreement on Market Rent.

 

(a)           In the event that Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of Market Rent, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of such disagreement (“Disagreement Notice”) within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Market Rent Notice. In the event that Tenant fails to deliver its Disagreement Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s determination of Market Rent. If Tenant timely delivers its Disagreement Notice, the parties thereafter shall negotiate in good faith the Market Rent for the Extended Term. In the event that the parties cannot agree to the Market Rent for the Extended Term within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Option Notice (or such earlier time if elected by either party), then Market Rent will be determined in the manner described hereafter. If the parties cannot mutually agree to the Market Rent, but in no event later than 60 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Option Notice, each party will choose a real estate licensed broker with at least ten (10) years’ office leasing experience, who has negotiated at least two (2) office leases of at least fifty thousand (50,000) rentable square feet in Class A office buildings located in the Central Business District of Denver, Colorado within the prior thirty-six (36) months, who shall not have represented Landlord or Tenant within the prior thirty-six (36) months. Each party will give the other written notice of the name and address of the broker selected by it within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Market Rent Determination Notice. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the final designation of the last broker, those two (2) brokers shall select a third broker with the qualifications stated above. The three (3) brokers (singularly, the “Expert” and collectively, the “Experts”) shall make a determination of Market Rent as expeditiously as possible thereafter and in any event within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third Expert. The determination of the Experts shall be made as follows:

 

(i)            Each Expert will independently determine the Market Rent and then all will meet and contemporaneously disclose to the others their respective determinations.

 

(ii)           If neither the highest nor the lowest determination differs from the middle determination by more than ten percent (10%) of such middle determination, then the Market Rent shall be the average of all three determinations.

 

40

 

(iii)         If subparagraph (ii) does not apply, then the Market Rent shall be the average of the two determinations closest by dollar amount.

 

(iv)          The Experts shall promptly notify Landlord and Tenant of each of their separate determinations and the resulting Market Rent. The determination of Market Rent by the Experts shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant and may be confirmed by either party by application to any Court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(b)           From and after the determination of Market Rent based on this Section 24.3, Tenant shall pay Annual Rent for the Extended Term at the rate applicable under this Section 24.3, and within thirty (30) days after Landlord and Tenant receive notice of such determination of Market Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment, or Landlord shall refund to Tenant the amount of any overpayment (or credit the same to the next Rent payments due, at Landlord’s option), as the case may be, of Annual Rent theretofore made.

 

(c)           Each party will pay any and all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such party’s Expert and the fees and expenses for the third Expert will be borne equally by the parties.

 

ARTICLE 25

25.1        Notice of Availability. Subject to the Kleinfelder, West, Inc.’s; Envestnet Asset Management’s; and Kutak Rock, LLP’s superior rights as of the Effective Date, Tenant will have a right of first refusal on any and all of the available space on the 6th floor of the Building (“Refusal Space”). Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the availability of all or a portion of the Refusal Space, at such time as Landlord is prepared to accept a third party offer for the Refusal Space from a “bona fide” third-party tenant. The notice to Tenant shall set forth the economic terms and conditions (including “rent”, “tenant improvement allowance” and “term”) that Landlord is prepared to accept from a third party tenant to lease the Refusal Space (the “ROFR Proposal”), prorated to Tenant’s existing Term.

 

25.2        Right of First Refusal. Tenant may lease Refusal Space upon the terms and conditions set out in this Article 25, only if

 

(a)           Tenant delivers to Landlord notice exercising its right to lease the Refusal Space within five (5) business days of Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of the ROFR Proposal; and

 

(b)           an Event of Default is not then continuing beyond any applicable notice or cure period or Tenant has not subleased more than twenty (20%) of the Premises (other than a Permitted Transferee as defined in Sections 11.1).

 

In the event that Tenant fails to exercise its right of first refusal on the Refusal Space within such five (5) business day period, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease with the third party tenant upon substantially similar terms and conditions contained in the ROFR Proposal. (calculated on a net effective basis based on the proposed annualized Annual Rent, less any allowances, free rent, commissions or other concessions amortized over the term of the

 

41

 

Refusal Space), and Tenant shall have no further right to the Refusal Space thereafter, except as provided below. For purposes of this Section a third party offer will be substantially similar if the economic terms and conditions are within 10% of the net effective basis of the Refusal Proposal. In the event that such third party offer is more than 10% favorable to the third party, Landlord shalt be obligated to re-offer the Refusal Space to Tenant on the more favorable terms, and Tenant shall have five (5) business days to either accept or reject the offer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if the Refusal Space described in the Refusal Offer is for less than the entire remaining space on the 6th floor, Tenant shall retain the its Right of First Refusal on any remaining vacant space subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.

 

25.3        Terms. A lease of space under this Article 25 shall contain the following:

 

(a)           Annual Rent shall be equal to the annual rent rate set forth in the ROFR Proposal;

 

(b)           Occupancy Costs as determined in the manner set out forth in Exhibit 13:

 

(c)           Tenant shall take all of the Offer Space in the Offer Proposal, even if the Offer Space includes space not located on the 5th floor;

 

(d)           The term for the Refusal Space (“ROFR Term”) shall begin on the date Landlord delivers possession of the Refusal Space to Tenant and shall be for the “Term” provided in the ROFR proposal; provided if less than thirty-six (36) months remain on the initial Term as of the commencement date of the ROFR Term, and the term for the Refusal Space (including any rights to renew) extends beyond the then current Term of the Lease, and Tenant elects to exercise its right to the Refusal Space, Tenant shall be required to simultaneously exercise its Extension Option (as described in Article 23 above). For purposes of determining Annual Rent during the Extended Term exercised pursuant to this subsection (c), the Annual Rent for the Refusal Space shall be the average Annual Rent as set forth in the ROFR Proposal for the remainder of the Term and any Extended Term, and the Annual Rent for the Extended Term on the remainder of the Premises shall be determined pursuant to Article 24 above;

 

(e)           Tenant shall take the Refusal Space in an “as-is” condition, and all improvements to the Refusal Space shall be Tenant’s responsibility at Tenant’s cost, subject to any tenant allowance and other applicable economic provisions provided in the ROFR Proposal calculated on a prorated basis based on the remaining ROFR Term, including any Extended Term; and the other terms and conditions shall be as set out in this Lease.

 

25.4        Documentation. Within ten (10) business days of receipt from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an executed amendment to this Lease to evidence any lease of space under this Article 25; provided that such amendment contains only those terms consistent with the provisions of this Article 25.

 

25.5        Non-Severability. The rights of Tenant under this Article 25 shall not be severed from this Lease or separately sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred, except to any Permitted Transferee(s), and shall expire on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

26.1        Grant. Provided Tenant has not exercised its (i) Extension Option (as described in Article 23 above); or (ii) its Right of the First Refusal (as described in Article 25,00 above) within the thirty six (36) months prior to Tenant’s delivery of its “Termination Notice” (as provided herein), then Tenant shall have the one-time right to terminate (‘Termination Option”) this Lease at any time after the last day of the seventy second (72’) full calendar month after the Commencement Date (“Termination Effective Date”), if

 

(a)           Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period at the time Tenant exercises its Termination Option or on the Termination Effective Date;

26.2        Survival. If Tenant timely exercises the Termination Option, this Lease shall be deemed terminated as though it had expired according to its terms, and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of any and all further obligations thereunder, except that the respective rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Lease and the Premises shall be preserved and shall survive the termination of this Lease as to all matters arising or accruing prior to the date of termination.

 

26.3        Documentation. Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver mutually agreeable and appropriate documentation to evidence the termination of this Lease.

 

26.4        Non-Severability. The rights of Tenant under this Article shall not be severed from the Lease or separately sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred (except with respect to any Permitted Transferee), and shall expire on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

27.2                        Consent Not Unreasonably Withheld. Except as otherwise specifically provided, whenever consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant is required under the terms of this Lease, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s or Tenant’s sole remedy, if the non-consenting party unreasonably withholds or delays consent or approval, shall be an action for specific performance, and neither party shall be liable for damages. If either party withholds any consent or approval, such party shall on written request deliver to the other party a written statement giving the reasons therefore.

 

27.3                        Name of Building and Project. Landlord shall have the right in its sole discretion after thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant, to change the name, number or designation of the Building or the Project (if any), or both, during the Term without liability to Tenant.

 

27.4                        Applicable Law and Construction. This Lease shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, and its provisions shall be construed as a whole according to their common meaning and, because this Lease has been negotiated by both Landlord and Tenant, shall not be interpreted strictly for or against Landlord or Tenant. The words Landlord and Tenant shall include the plural as well as the singular. If this Lease is executed by more than one tenant or landlord, Tenant’s and Landlord’s obligations, as the case may be, shall be joint and several obligations of such executing tenants and landlords. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions. The captions of the Articles are included for convenience only, and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of this Lease.

 

27.5                        Entire Agreement. This Lease, including its Exhibits, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Lease and shall supersede all prior agreements or understandings between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon any statement, representation, agreement or warranty except such as is set out in this Lease including its Exhibits.

 

27.6                        Offer Irrevocable. Tenant hereby offers to lease from Landlord the Premises under the terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have made an offer to Tenant by preparing this Lease and no agreement respecting the Premises shall arise or exist between the parties except through the making of this offer by Tenant and the acceptance by Landlord by delivering to Tenant a copy hereof which has been executed by Landlord. This offer shall be irrevocable and open for acceptance by Landlord until 5:00 p.m. on the fifteenth

 

44

 

(15”) business day after execution hereof by Tenant, and if not accepted by then may be withdrawn.

 

27.7                        Amendment or Modification. Except to the extent as may otherwise specifically be provided in this Lease, no amendment, modification, or supplement to this Lease shall be valid or binding unless set out in writing and executed by the parties hereto in the same manner as the execution of this Lease.

 

27.8                        Construed Covenants and Severability. All of the provisions of this Lease are to be construed as covenants and agreements as though the words imparting such covenants and agreements were used in each separate Article hereof. Should any provision of this Lease be or become invalid, void, illegal or not enforceable, it shall be considered separate and severable from the Lease and the remaining provisions shall remain in force and be binding upon the parties hereto as though such provision had not been included.

 

27.9                        No Implied Surrender or Waiver. No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party unless such waiver is in writing signed by such respective party. Either party’s waiver of a breach of any term or condition of this Lease shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a breach, from having all the force and effect of any original breach. Landlord’s receipt of Rent with knowledge of a breach by Tenant of any term or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. Landlord’s failure to enforce against Tenant or any other tenant in the Building any of the Rules and Regulations made under Article 14 shall not be deemed a waiver of such Rules and Regulations. No act or thing done by Landlord, its agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. Neither the delivery of keys to nor the acceptance thereof by any of the Landlord’s agents or employees, nor the taking possession of the Premises by Landlord after any vacation thereof by Tenant, shall operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. No payment by Tenant, or receipt by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check, or payment as Rent, be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.

 

27.10                 Successors Bound. Except as otherwise specifically provided, the covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

27.11                 Letter of Credit. Within forty five (45) days of the Effective Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,200,000.00), issued by a national bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord, naming Landlord as beneficiary and allowing Landlord to draw the Letter of Credit for an Event of Default (that is continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period) as described in Article 19 of the Lease. The Letter of Credit shall expressly state that it will be (I) in an evergreen form and automatically renew without any action or notice by Landlord required, (ii) be honored by the 

 

45

 

issuer without inquiry into the accuracy of any such notice or statement made by Landlord; (iii) permit multiple or partial draws up to the stated amount of the Letter of Credit; and (iv) expressly provide that it is transferable to any successor of Landlord or Landlord’s lenders (at no cost to Landlord or its lender). The Letter of Credit shall stand as security for all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

 

Provided an Event of Default has not occurred (beyond any applicable notice and cure period), the Letter of Credit shall decline annually by Two Hundred Forty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($240,000.00) on the first anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, and each annual anniversary thereafter, until such time as the amount of the Letter of Credit is reduced to zero ($0.00), after which the Letter of Credit shall terminate and no Letter of Credit or other security shall be required in connection with this Lease.

 

If an Event of Default has occurred (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) the Letter of Credit shall not be reduced, and the remaining balance of the Letter of Credit shall stand as security for Landlord for the remainder of the Term. If there is an Event of Default under the Lease by Tenant beyond any applicable notice and cure period, then Landlord, in addition to any other remedy it may have under the Lease, may draw upon the Letter of Credit in an amount necessary to cure any non-monetary Event of Default under the Lease, or a monetary default of any obligation under the Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure period; provided nothing herein shall limit Landlord’s right to draw upon the entire full face value of the Letter of Credit in the event that Landlord exercises its right to terminate Tenant’s possession of the Premises or the Lease as provided under Section 19.3, expressly including any condition expressed in Subsection 19.2 (c) or (d). A draw under the Letter of Credit of less than the full face amount thereof shall not preclude subsequent additional draws thereunder, nor shall one (1) or more draws under the Letter of Credit preclude the exercise, either simultaneously or subsequently, of any rights or remedies of Landlord under the Lease.

 

27.12                 Lease Approval. Landlord and Tenant represent to the other that each has all the necessary approvals required to execute this Lease.

 

27.13                 Nondiscrimination.

27.14                 Personal Liability. The obligations of Tenant or Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of Landlord’s or Tenant’s individual partners, members, directors, officers, agents, employees or shareholders of Tenant or Landlord, disclosed or undisclosed. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s estate in the Land and Building, personal property and equipment used in the operation of the Project and Building, insurance proceeds, and rents and accounts receivable for satisfaction of any liability under or in respect of this Lease or for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other legal process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord and no other property and assets of such Landlord or any partner, member, officer, director, agent or shareholder, disclosed or undisclosed, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the 

 

46

 

satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or in respect of this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease or Tenant’s use of the Land or Building or the use or occupancy of the Premises.

 

27.15                 Brokerage Commission. Landlord and Tenant each agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all broker’s or other real estate commissions or fees incurred by the indemnifying party or arising out of its activities with respect to this Lease except as documented herein. Landlord is represented by Nick Pavlakovich of Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. and Tenant is represented by Chris Boston of Gibbons White, Inc. (collectively the “Brokers”). Landlord and Tenant each hereby represent and warrant to the other that it does not recognize and has not used any broker other than the Brokers with respect to this Lease and the negotiation hereof. Landlord hereby agrees to pay Brokers a commission per a separate agreement between Landlord and Brokers.

 

27.16                 Unavoidable Delay. As used in this Lease, ‘Unavoidable Delay” means fire, explosion and other casualties; war, invasion, insurrection, riot, sabotage, and malicious mischief; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns and lockouts; condemnation; rules, regulations or orders of civil or military or naval authorities adopted after the date hereof; impossibility of or delay in obtaining materials or reasonable substitutes from suppliers for reasons other than unavailability of funds (excluding any special materials selected by Tenant which are not generally available or for which there are not reasonable substitutes); or any other cause, the occurrence of which, or the extent and duration of the occurrence of which, is not within the reasonable control of the party in question. An Unavoidable Delay shall exist only for the period in which it is not within the reasonable control of the party in question to prevent, control or correct such event. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, (a) if Landlord or Tenant shall, due to Unavoidable Delay, fail punctually to perform any obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease, then such failure shall be excused and not be a breach of this Lease by the party in question, but only to the extent caused by Unavoidable Delay; or (b) if any right or option of either party to take any action under or with respect to this Lease is conditioned upon the same being exercised within any prescribed period of time or some specified date, then such prescribed period of time and such specified date shall be deemed to be extended or delayed, as the case may be, for a period equal to the period of the Unavoidable Delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unavoidable Delay shall not be applicable to determining the date of commencement of, or the continuance of, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent or its obligations to pay any other sums, moneys, costs, charges or expenses required to be paid by Tenant hereunder (whether or not Tenant’s Work is thereby delayed beyond the Construction Period) or to the date by which Tenant must exercise any right or option under this Lease, including without limitation to terminate this Lease or to extend the Term.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE

AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“Agreement”), is made as of this day of , 2016 among ROYAL BANK OF CANADA, as administrative agent for (and for the benefit of) itself and one or more co-lenders (together with its successors, assigns and/or affiliates in such capacity as administrative agent, “Administrative Agent”), BOP 1801 CALIFORNIA STREET LLC and BOP 1801 CALIFORNIA STREET II LLC, both Delaware limited liability companies (“Landlord”), and SENDGRID, INC., a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).

 

Background

 

A.                                    Royal Bank of Canada and/or one or more co-lenders has made or will make a loan to Landlord in the maximum principal amount of $206,500,000 (“Loan”), which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument (as the same may be amended, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated, replaced, substituted or otherwise modified from time to time, including without limitation, modifications which increase the principal amount secured thereby, the “Security Instrument”) on Landlord’s property described more particularly on Exhibit 1 attached hereto (“Property”).

 

B.                                    Tenant is the present lessee under that certain lease agreement between Landlord and Tenant dated                 , 2016, as thereafter modified and supplemented (“Lease”), demising a portion of the Property described more particularly in the Lease (“Leased Space”).

 

C.                                    A requirement of the Loan is that Tenant’s Lease be subordinated to the Security Instrument. Landlord has requested Tenant to so subordinate the Lease in exchange for Administrative Agent’s agreement not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Space upon the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

F-1

 

1.                                      Subordination. Tenant agrees that the Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof, and all estates, options and rights created under the Lease, hereby are subordinated and made subject to the lien and effect of the Security Instrument (including, without limitation, all renewals, increases, modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof), as if the Security Instrument had been executed and recorded prior to the Lease.

 

2.                                      Nondisturbance. Administrative Agent agrees that no foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial), deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale of the Property in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan shall operate to terminate the Lease or Tenant’s rights thereunder to possess and use the Leased Space provided, however, that (a) the term of the Lease has commenced, (b) Tenant is in possession of the Leased Space, and (c) the Lease is in full force and effect and no uncured default by Tenant exists under the Lease. In addition, Tenant shall not be named or joined as a party in any suit, action or proceeding for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the enforcement of any rights under the Security Instrument, unless Tenant is a necessary party under applicable law.

 

3.                                      Attornment. Tenant agrees to attorn to and recognize as its landlord under the Lease each party acquiring legal title to the Property by foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial) of the Security Instrument, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan (“Successor Owner”). Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2 above arc met at the time Successor Owner becomes owner of the Property, Successor Owner shall perform all obligations of the landlord under the Lease arising from and after the date title to the Property is transferred to Successor Owner. In no event, however, will any Successor Owner be: (a) liable for any default, act or omission of any prior landlord under the Lease, except to the extent the same constitutes a continuing default by Landlord under the Lease and the Administrative Agent was given notice thereof in accordance with Section 5 below prior to the date the Successor Owner acquired legal title to the Property (“Attornment Date”); (b) subject to any offset or defense which Tenant may have against any prior landlord under the Lease, unless such offset or defense is expressly provided under the Lease and Tenant shall have, prior to the Attornment Date, provided Administrative Agent with written notice of the Landlord’s default that gave rise to such offset or defense, and the opportunity to cure the same, all in accordance with the terms of Section 5 below; (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent made by Tenant to Landlord more than one (1) month in advance, except to the extent that any payment by Tenant of estimated operating expenses exceeds actual operating expenses for the applicable period of time; (d) bound by any modification or supplement to the Lease, or waiver of Lease terms, made without Administrative Agent’s written consent thereto, except to the extent that Administrative Agent’s consent is not required; (e) liable for the return of any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid by Tenant under the Lease, except to the extent such amounts were actually received by Administrative Agent; (f) liable or bound by any right of first refusal or option to purchase all or any portion of the Property; or (g) liable for construction or completion of any improvements to the Property or as required under the Lease for Tenant’s use and occupancy (whenever arising). Although the foregoing provisions of this Agreement arc self-operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent or any Successor Owner such further commercially reasonable instruments as Administrative Agent or a Successor Owner may from time to time request in order to confirm this Agreement. If any liability of Successor Owner does arise

 

F-2

 

pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited to Successor Owner’s interest in the Property.

 

The Administrative Agent’s consent shall not be required for any Lease amendments or modifications (i) that do not materially increase Landlord’s obligations or liabilities under the Lease, or materially reduce Tenant’s obligations, liabilities, or security held by Landlord for Tenant’s performance, under the Lease, or (ii) of a ministerial nature pursuant to the express terms of the Lease (e.g., to confirm the measurement of the Leased Space, to memorialize Tenant’s exercise of term extensions provided in the Lease, to memorialize rent abatement after a casualty, to memorialize a permitted assignment or sublease, etc.).

 

4.                                      Prior Assignment; Rent Payments; Notice to Tenant Regarding Rent Payments. Tenant has no knowledge of any prior assignment or pledge of the rents accruing under the Lease by Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges and consents to that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents from Landlord to Administrative Agent executed in connection with the Loan. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Administrative Agent solely as security for the purposes specified in said assignment, and Administrative Agent shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignments or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Administrative Agent shall specifically undertake such liability in writing. Tenant agrees not to pay rent more than one (1) month in advance unless otherwise specified in the Lease. After notice is given to Tenant by Administrative Agent that Landlord is in default under the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease are to be paid to Administrative Agent directly pursuant to the assignment of leases and rents granted by Landlord to Administrative Agent in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Administrative Agent all rent and all other amounts due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease. Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Administrative Agent upon reliance on Administrative Agent’s written notice (without any inquiry into the factual basis for such notice or any prior notice to or consent from Landlord) and hereby releases Tenant from all liability to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s compliance with Administrative Agent’s written instructions.

 

5.                                      Administrative Agent Opportunity to Cure Landlord Defaults. Tenant agrees that, until the Security Instrument is released by Administrative Agent, it will not exercise any remedies under the Lease following a Landlord default without having first given to Administrative Agent (a) written notice of the alleged Landlord default and (b) the opportunity to cure such default within the longer of (i) 30 days after the cure period provided under the Lease to Landlord, (ii) 30 days from Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice to Administrative Agent of a Landlord default, or (iii) if the cure of such default requires possession of the Property, 30 days after Administrative Agent has obtained possession of the Property; provided that, in each case, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and Administrative Agent has diligently commenced to cure such default promptly within the time contemplated by this Agreement, such 30-day period shall be extended for so long as it shall require Administrative Agent, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such default, but, unless the parties otherwise agree, in no event shall the entire cure period be more than 120 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s express abatement and/or offset rights under the Lease shall not be adversely affected by this Agreement. Tenant acknowledges that Administrative Agent is not obligated to 

 

F-3

 

cure any Landlord default, but if Administrative Agent elects to do so, Tenant agrees to accept cure by Administrative Agent as that of Landlord under the Lease and will not exercise any right or remedy under the Lease for a Landlord default. Performance rendered by Administrative Agent on Landlord’s behalf is without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s rights against Landlord under the Security Instrument or any other documents executed by Landlord in favor of Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan.

 

6.                                      Right to Purchase. Tenant covenants and acknowledges that it has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Property or the real property of which the Property is a part, or any portion thereof or any interest therein and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and is hereby waived and released as against Administrative Agent.

 

7.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement are to be in writing and addressed as set forth below such party’s signature hereto.

(b)                                 Entire Agreement Modification. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior discussions, representations, communications and agreements (oral or written). This Agreement shall not be modified, supplemented, or terminated, nor any provision hereof waived, except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought, and then only to the extent expressly set forth in such writing.

 

(c)                                  Binding Effect; Joint and Several Obligations. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law. No Indemnitor may delegate or transfer its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Unenforceable Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or government body to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal shall be ineffective only to the extent of such determination and shall not affect the validity, enforceability or legality of any other provision, nor shall such determination apply in any circumstance or to any party not controlled by such determination.

 

F-4

 

(e)                                  Duplicate Originals; Counterparts.

(f)                                   Construction of Certain Terms. Defined terms used in this Agreement may be used interchangeably in singular or plural form, and pronouns shall be construed to cover all genders.

Notwithstanding the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Period, the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period, and the Seventh Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Period, Tenant agrees that its obligation to pay the Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs (as described hereafter) payments abated (or reduced, as applicable) hereunder during such periods shall continue throughout the Term of the Lease; provided, however, that such amounts shall only become due and payable if Tenant commits an Event of Default and Landlord commences and is successful in an action to recover Rent and/or possession of the Premises. If an Event of Default exists hereunder pursuant to Article 19.00 of the Lease, after any cure period and Landlord commences an action to recover Rent and/or possession of the Premises, then the unamortized portion of abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs payments for the Sixth Floor and Seventh Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods, and the reduced Rent during the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period, as of the date of such Event of Default, shall become immediately due and payable with interest on such sums at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the Event of Default. Annual Rent during the Sixth Floor and Seventh Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods shall be calculated at $21.00 per rentable square foot of space in the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises and Seventh Floor Expansion Premises, as applicable. Occupancy Costs during the Sixth Floor and Seventh Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods shall be calculated in accordance with the Lease. Tenant’s obligation for the unamortized portion of abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs not collected during the Sixth and Seventh Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods, and the reduced Rent during the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period shall be independent of and in addition to Landlord’s other damages pursuant to Article 19.00 of the Lease. Abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs during the Sixth and Seventh Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods, and the reduced Rent during the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period shall be amortized using an 8% interest factor on a straight-line basis over the initial Term of the Lease.

 

If the Sixth or Seventh Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the monthly installment of Annual Rent for the month in which the applicable Rent Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated on a daily basis in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 4.05 of the Lease.

 

5.                                      Occupancy Costs. Subject to the Sixth Floor and Seventh Floor Rent Concession Periods, and Rent Reduction Period 1 and Rent Reduction Period 2, Tenant shall pay its share of Occupancy Costs for the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises and the Seventh Floor Expansion Premises, as applicable, at the times and in the manner as payments of Occupancy Costs are to be made pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Lease.
