3.2 The Premises are accepted by Tenant in “as-is” condition and configuration without any representations or warranties by Landlord except as expressly provided herein. Tenant shall perform all improvements to the Premised over and above the Landlord Work in accordance with the “Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C.

Except as relates to the trading of the shares of Tenant on a nationally-recognized over-the-counter exchange, and except in connection with an Ownership Change (as defined below) or a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), a change in ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the stock or membership interest of Tenant shall be deemed a Transfer hereunder. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section is voidable by Landlord. In no event shall any Transfer, including a Permitted Transfer, release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.

11.2 Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee, an unexecuted, draft of the proposed assignment, sublease or other Transfer documentation and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Within 15 Business Days after receipt of the required information and documentation, Landlord shall either: (a) consent to the Transfer by execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord; (b) reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in writing; or (c) in the event of an assignment of this Lease or subletting of more than 50% of the Rentable Area of the Premises for the remaining Term (excluding unexercised options), recapture the portion of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to Transfer. If Landlord exercises its right to recapture, this Lease shall automatically be amended (or terminated if the entire Premises is being assigned or sublet) to delete the applicable portion of the Premises effective on the proposed effective date of the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $1,000.00 for Landlord’s review of any Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer, plus Landlord’s reasonable and actual attorneys’ fees associated therewith.

11.3 Landlord has the right to 50% of, and Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of, all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of the excess within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of the excess. Tenant may deduct from the excess, on a straight-line basis, all reasonable and customary expenses out-of-pocket expenses directly and actually incurred by Tenant attributable to the Transfer, such as brokerage fees, rental concessions, and alterations. If Tenant is in Default, Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of Tenant’s share of payments received by Landlord.

11.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization (an “Ownership Change”) or assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate without the consent of Landlord, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (a “Permitted Transfer”): (a) Tenant is not in Default; (b) in the event of an Ownership Change, Tenant’s successor shall own substantially all of the assets of Tenant and have a net worth which is at least equal to Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed Ownership Change; (c) the Permitted Use does not allow the Premises to be used for retail purposes; and (d) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least 15 Business Days prior to the effective date of the Permitted Transfer. Tenant’s notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation evidencing the Permitted Transfer and showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied. If requested by Landlord, Tenant’s successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement. “Affiliate shall mean an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant. In no event shall an Ownership Change or a Permitted Transfer relieve the assigning person or entity from its ongoing obligations and liabilities hereunder.

Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Patties.

All notices sent under this Section shall be in satisfaction of, and not in addition to, notice required by Law.

 

19.

Remedies.

19.1 Upon Default, Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

 

13


(a) Terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord, in compliance with Law, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant, Tenant’s Property and any party occupying the Premises. Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, all past due Rent and other losses and damages Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s Default, including, without limitation, all Costs of Reletting (defined below) and any deficiency that may arise from reletting or the failure to relet the Premises. “Costs of Reletting shall include all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting or attempting to relet the Premises, including, without limitation, legal fees, brokerage commissions, the cost of alterations and the value of other concessions or allowances granted to a new tenant.

(b) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and, in compliance with Law, remove Tenant, Tenant’s Property and any parties occupying the Premises. Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) relet all or any part of the Premises, without notice to Tenant, for such period of time and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions, free rent and work allowances) as Landlord in its absolute discretion shall determine. Landlord may collect and receive all rents and other income from the reletting. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand all past due Rent, all Costs of Reletting and any deficiency arising from the reletting or failure to relet the Premises. The re-entiy or taking of possession of the Premises shall not be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

(c) Allow the Premises to remain unoccupied and collect Rent from Tenant as and when it becomes due, provided that Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises utilizing Landlord efforts typically utilized to market available premises for lease at the Building. In no event shall Landlord be required to show the Premises in preference over other available premises at the Building.

19.2 In lieu of calculating damages under Section 19.1, Landlord may elect to receive as damages the sum of (a) all Rent accrued through the date of termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, and (b) an amount equal to the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value, minus the then present fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term, similarly discounted, after deducting all anticipated Costs of Reletting.

19.3 If Tenant is in Default of any of its non-monetary obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to perform such obligations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such performance upon demand together with an administrative charge equal to 10% of the cost of the work performed by Landlord. The repossession or re-entering of all or any part of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity.

 

20.

Limitation of Liability.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE, NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD

 

14


RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES (DEFINED IN SECTION 23 BELOW), NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT.

 

21.

Relocation.

Intentionally omitted.

 

22.

Holding Over.

If Tenant fails to surrender all or any part of the Premises at the termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after termination shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant’s occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements for a new tenant as a result of Tenant’s holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within 30 days after notice from Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for all damages that Landlord suffers from the holdover.

 

23.

Subordination to Mortgages; Attornment; Mortgagee Protections; Estoppel Certificates.

Tenant accepts, acknowledges and agrees that this Lease, the leasehold estate created hereby and all rights and privileges of Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any deed(s) to secure debt, mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, other security instrument(s), ground lease(s), declaration(s) or other similar restrictive instrument(s) of record, or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, amendments, restatements, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required, but upon request from Landlord or a Mortgagee, in confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute, in recordable form if requested, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a commercially reasonable form (which form is initially stipulated and agreed to, and attached hereto as Exhibit K), in favor of the Mortgagee. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion and unilaterally, to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease by so notifying Tenant in writing. Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise (such party, a “Successor Landlord”), and Tenant agrees that it will (a) be liable to and recognize any Successor Landlord as the owner and lessor of the Premises upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in the Lease and (b) pay rent and all other amounts due under the Lease directly to the Successor Landlord. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further documents; provided, that upon a Successor Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute such agreements confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request. If a Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, such Mortgagee shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor (including Landlord); (b) bound by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the

 

15


current month to any prior lessor (including Landlord), and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (c) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by Tenant which is not delivered or paid over to Mortgagee and with respect to which Tenant shall look solely to Landlord for refund or reimbursement; (d) bound by any termination, amendment or modification of this Lease made without Mortgagee’s consent and written approval, except for those terminations, amendments and modifications permitted to be made by Landlord without Mortgagee’s consent pursuant to the terms of the loan documents between Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee; (e) subject to the defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord); and (f) subject to the offsets which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord) except for those offset rights which (1) are expressly provided in this Lease, (2) relate to periods of time following the acquisition of the Property by such Mortgagee, and (3) Tenant has provided written notice to Mortgagee and provided Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the event giving rise to such offset event. Mortgagee shall have no liability or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise after it ceases to own fee simple title to the Property. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require Mortgagee to see to the application of the proceeds of any loan, and Tenant’s agreements set forth herein shall not be impaired on account of any modification of the documents evidencing and securing any loan. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail (each, a “Landlord Default Notice”), to any Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the next succeeding sentence. Tenant agrees that Mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default after receipt of a Landlord Default Notice, or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event the Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall Tenant reduce the rent or credit or offset any amounts against the rent, while such remedies are being diligently pursued by Mortgagee. Tenant acknowledges that a Mortgagee is not obligated to cure any Landlord default under this Lease, but if Mortgagee elects to do so in accordance with this Section, Tenant agrees to accept cure by Mortgagee as that of the Landlord. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those patties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable. The initial form of such estoppel certificate is stipulated and agreed to and attached hereto as Exhibit J.

 

24.

Notice.

All demands, approvals, consents or notices (collectively referred to as a “notice”) shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested or sent by overnight or same day courier service at the party’s respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Section 1 or via email provided one of the other methods is also used. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or any other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, 3 days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address (other than to a post office box address) by giving the other party written notice of the new address.

25.

Surrender of Premises.

At the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage which Landlord is obligated to repair hereunder excepted. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property within 5 days after termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises or storage, within 30 days after notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant’s Property to be abandoned and title to Tenant’s Property shall vest in Landlord.

 

26.

Miscellaneous.

26.1 This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the state or commonwealth in which the Building is located and Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and proper venue of such state or commonwealth. If any term or provision of this Lease shall to any extent be void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected. If there is more than one Tenant or if Tenant is comprised of more than one party or entity, the obligations imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several obligations of all the parties and entities, and requests or demands from any one person or entity comprising Tenant shall be deemed to have been made by all such persons or entities.

Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any proceeding based upon a breach of this Lease. Either party’s failure to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence, or delay in taking action for a default, shall not constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel.

26.3 Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of an action by Landlord or Tenant (other than the payment of the Security Deposit or Rent), the period of time for the performance of such action shall be extended by the number of days that the performance is actually delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, terrorist acts, civil disturbances and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the performing party (“Force Majeure”).

26.4 Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this Lease and in the Building and Property. Upon transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder and Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations, provided that, any successor pursuant to a voluntary, third party transfer (but not as part of an involuntary transfer resulting from a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof) shall have assumed Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

26.5 Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant’s review only and the delivery of it does not constitute an offer to Tenant or an option. Tenant represents that it has dealt directly with and only with the Broker as a broker in connection with this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties harmless from all claims of any other brokers claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Landlord in connection with this Lease.

26.6 Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of any expansion, renewal or extension rights granted to Tenant. The expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time, termination or otherwise, shall not relieve either party of any obligations which accrued prior to or which may continue to accrue after the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

17


26.7 Tenant may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its covenants and agreements. This covenant shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building.

26.8 This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Building. Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself any and all rights not specifically granted to Tenant under this Lease. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings related to the Premises, including all lease proposals, letters of intent and other documents. Neither party is relying upon any warranty, statement or representation not contained in this Lease.

EXPENSES AND TAXES

 

1.

Payments.

1.01 Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses (defined below) and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes (defined below) for each calendar year or fractional year during the Term. The Building consists of both office and warehouse usage and, accordingly: (i) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses for the office portion of the Premises shall be calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of the office portion of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the total office space within the Building, as same may be reasonable adjusted by Landlord from time to time; and (ii) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses for the warehouse portion of the Premises shall be calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of the warehouse portion of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the total warehouse space within the Building, as same may be reasonable adjusted by Landlord from time to time. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, to allocate certain office-related Expenses and Taxes to the office portions of the Project, and to allocate certain warehouse-related Expenses and Taxes to the warehouse portions of the Project. On or before the first day of January of each year (or, with respect to the year in which the Commencement Date occurs, prior to the Commencement Date) during the Term, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in no event later than April 1st, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement (“Landlord’s Estimate”) setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Expenses and Taxes for the forthcoming year (or the fractional year in which the Commencement Date occurs as the case may be). On the first day of each calendar month during such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses as estimated in Landlord’s Estimate; provided, however, that, if for any reason Landlord has not provided Tenant with Landlord’s Estimate on the first day of any year during the Term (or by the Commencement Date, as the case may be), then, (i) until the first day of the calendar month following the month in which Tenant is given Landlord’s Estimate, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month the sum, if any, payable by Tenant under this Exhibit B for the month of December of the preceding year and, (ii) on the first day of the month following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes as shown on such Landlord’s Estimate plus an amount equal to the remainder obtained by subtracting the amount theretofore paid by Tenant pursuant to item (i) above from that amount obtained by multiplying the number of months (exclusive of the month then at hand) occurring since the first day of such year (or since the Commencement Date, as the case may be) by Tenant’s then correct monthly share of Landlord’s Estimate. If such calculation proves Tenant has overpaid, Landlord shall apply such overpayment as a credit against Tenant’s future payment obligations until such credit is depleted. Tenant shall thereafter during such year pay one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes on the first day of each calendar month. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right from time to time during any year to notify Tenant in writing of any change in Landlord’s Estimate, in which event such Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses, as previously estimated, shall be adjusted to reflect the amount shown in such notice and shall be effective, and due from Tenant, on the first day of the month following Landlord’s giving of such notice.

If the Commencement Date occurs on a date other than the first day of January, or if the Term ends on a date other than the last day of December, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses for the year in which the Commencement Date or the Termination Date occurs, as the case may be, shall be prorated so that Tenant shall pay that portion of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes for such year represented by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days during such fractional year falling within the Term, and the denominator of which is 365 (or 366, in the case of a leap year)


1.02 Within ninety (90) days following January 1 of each year during the Term (beginning with the calendar year following the year in which the Commencement Date occurs Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses and the actual Taxes for the prior calendar year. If the estimated Expenses or estimated Taxes for the prior calendar year is more than the actual Expenses or actual Taxes, as the case may be, for the prior calendar year, Landlord shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against the Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the estimated Expenses or estimated Taxes for the prior calendar year is less than the actual Expenses or actual Taxes, as the case may be, for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the statement of Expenses or Taxes, a lump-sum payment of any underpayment for the prior calendar year.

 

2.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord may elect to maintain certain insurance policies as a result of Tenant’s storage of Hazardous Substances within the Premises. In the event that Landlord maintains any such policy or policies, Tenant hereby agrees to reimburse to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of premiums paid for any such policy or policies through inclusion in Expenses, and in no event shall such cost be deemed a Controllable Expense. As of the date of this Lease, Landlord’s estimate of the cost of such policy or policies is Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Five and 00/100 Dollars ($7,875.00) per annum, subject to adjustment from time-to-time as Landlord’s premiums associated with such policy or policies increase or decrease each year.

All such costs, including actual interest, shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the capital investment items, as reasonably determined by Landlord, but in no event beyond the reasonable useful life of the Building as a first-class office building.

 

(h)

The fair market Building or Project management office rent or rental value

 

(i)

The cost of acquisition, installation, repair and maintenance of systems and equipment which regulate parking at the Project.

4. Audit Rights. Tenant, within 180 days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses, may give Landlord notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for the calendar year to which the statement applies. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review, at the location where Landlord maintains such records. If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Property is located. In no event shall any audit be performed by an auditor compensated on a contingency fee or similar basis. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Tenant shall pay the cost of such audit or inspection, including the actual hourly salary of Landlord’s or the building manager’s employee time for each working hour in excess of 10 hours devoted to such inspection or audit to reimburse Landlord for its overhead costs allocable to the inspection or audit.

The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

4


This audit right of Tenant’s shall be in lieu of any other remedy at law or in equity, and shall preclude, for example, an action for an accounting.

EXHIBIT F

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

1. Extension Option.

Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not then in Default under any term or condition of this Lease, and provided further that Tenant is occupying substantially all of the Premises as set forth herein, Tenant shall have the options (each, an “Extension Option”), at the expiration of the initial Term or Extension Period, as the case may be, to extend the Term for up to two (2) consecutive periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Period”), such extensions to be on the same terms, covenants and conditions as are herein contained, except that the Base Rent payable during the first (1st) year of each Extension Period shall be ninety-seven percent (97%) of Fair Market Rental Value, as defined below, with three percent (3%) annual escalations each year thereafter for the balance of such Extension Period. In order to validly exercise an Extension Option, Tenant must provide written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to exercise the Extension Option at least nine (9) months, but not more than twelve (12) months, prior to the expiration of the initial Term or Extension Period, as applicable. Without further instrument, lease or agreement, the Term of this Lease shall be so extended upon the giving of such written notice by Tenant; provided, however, Tenant agrees to execute such reasonable documentation as Landlord may reasonably request memorializing such extension.

Within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s notice to Landlord of exercise of an Extension Option, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the Fair Market Rental Value proposed by Landlord for the applicable Extension Period (“Landlord’s Proposed Rent”). If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s Proposed Rent, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such disagreement within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s Proposed Rent and shall contemporaneously notify Landlord in writing of what Tenant believes is the Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Extension Period (“Tenant’s Proposed Rent”).

Landlord and Tenant shall meet during the sixty (60) day period following the receipt of the written notice exercising the Extension Option and shall attempt to agree on the Base Rent for such Extension Period. If Landlord and Tenant agree on the Base Rent for such Extension Period by the last day of such sixty (60) day period, Landlord and Tenant will forthwith execute a written agreement confirming the Base Rent for such Extension Period which has been agreed upon. If Landlord and Tenant fail to so agree by the last day of the month following the written notice exercising the option, the determination of the Base Rent for the applicable Extension Period shall be submitted to binding arbitration by Landlord and Tenant. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall submit to the arbitrator copies of Landlord’s Proposed Rent and Tenant’s Proposed Rent. Such arbitration shall be filed at the regional office of the American Arbitration Association in Atlanta, Georgia and conducted in Atlanta, Georgia before a single arbitrator and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules, procedures and protocols then in effect for the Real Estate Industry (the “AAA Rules”). The arbitrator shall be an impartial professional selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. In the interest of expediting matters and reducing costs, the parties to the arbitration shall not be entitled to file motions or conduct discovery. In rendering his/her decision, the arbitrator shall have the obligation to select either Landlord’s Proposed Rent or Tenant’s Proposed Rent as the Base Rent to be paid by Tenant. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding upon all parties to the arbitration and a judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs of Landlord and Tenant, the out-of-pocket costs of any appraiser or consultant engaged by Landlord or Tenant and the fees and costs of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrator shall be paid by the party whose determination of Base Rent was not selected within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice.


If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then-applicable Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent during the applicable Extension Period in the same amount which it was obligated under this Lease to pay prior to the commencement of such Extension Period. When Fair Market Rental Value is determined, the appropriate Base Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment).

In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the Landlord and Tenant shall determine the amount that a willing tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of comparable flex warehouse/office spaces, at arm’s length, to rent premises of comparable size and quality as the Premises.

2. Parking.

Subject to casualty, condemnation or Force Majeure, the Project shall at all times contain at least at least one hundred sixty-six (166) parking spaces. Tenant shall not over-burden the parking areas serving the Project and in no event shall the parking available to Tenant exceed three (3) parking spaces per 1,000 Rentable Square Feet of the Premises (“Tenant’s Maximum Parking Allowance”). In the event that Tenant requires parking in excess of Tenant’s Maximum Parking Allowance, Tenant shall either: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to procure such parking off-site from the Project at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and subject to Landlord’s satisfaction that Tenant has solved for the excess of parking spaces above “Tenant’s Maximum Parking Allowance” or (ii) adopt an alternative employee transportation plan (e.g. rideshare, carpooling or Uber/Lyft) to address its parking needs and provide such plan for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Should Tenant fail to achieve parking at or below Tenant’s Maximum Parking Allowance then, for excess parking spaces above Tenant’s Maximum Parking Allowance, Landlord shall have the right to fine Tenant Fifteen and 00/100 Dollars ($15.00) per vehicle per day in excess of Tenant’s Maximum Parking Allowance, which amount shall be due within five (5) days following Landlord’s demand therefor. Landlord makes no representation to Tenant as to Tenant’s ability to procure off-site parking or the cost thereof. In the event that Tenant does procure off-site parking pursuant to the foregoing, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide to Landlord documentation evidencing that Tenant has secured such off-site parking, and such off-site parking contains at least the number of parking spaces in excess of Tenant’s Maximum Parking Allowance which Tenant’s employees will utilize. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide to Landlord the number of agents, employees, contractors or invitees occupying the Premises.

Tenant’s parking at the Building shall be on an unassigned, first come, first serve basis. As of the date of this Lease, Landlord does not assess a charge for unreserved parking at the Project; provided, however, Landlord reserves the right to implement a charge for unreserved parking at the Project at a future date. The location of Tenant’s parking spaces shall initially be in a location designated by Landlord, but Landlord shall have the right to relocate such parking spaces from time-to-time upon notice to Tenant. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Project is a mixed-use development with retail, office, warehouse and other uses and Landlord makes no representation as to the availability of parking at the Project during non-Business Hours. If requested by Landlord, at any time and from time-to-time, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a list of the make, model, color and license plate number of the vehicles parked by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors and invitees at the Project. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant’s employees to place a decal or hang-tag upon their vehicles so as to identify such vehicles as owned by Tenant’s employees.

 

2


In no event shall Tenant permit any parking of its vehicles, or vehicles belonging to Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees, on Menlo Drive, and, in the event that Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, park vehicles on Menlo Drive in violation of this Section, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to (i) require Tenant to immediately to remove such vehicles or (ii) require Tenant to pay to Landlord the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day, per vehicle parked in violation of the foregoing. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the foregoing sum is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable pre-estimate of Landlord’s damages in the event that Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees, park on Menlo Drive, it being further acknowledged that Landlord’s actual damages would be extremely difficult or impossible to calculate. Tenant shall have the obligation to inform Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors and invitees of the foregoing restriction.

No storage or overnight parking of tractor-trailers, 18 wheelers, or trailers shall be permitted at any time.

3. Signage.

Landlord shall provide to Tenant a listing on any directory signage serving the Building. Subject to compliance with applicable codes and ordinances, and further subject to Landlord’s prior approval thereof (which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion), Tenant shall have the right to install one (1) blade sign located upon Premises in a location acceptable to Landlord.

Tenant shall have the right to install a panel upon the existing monument sign serving the Building. Tenant’s monument panel shall be fabricated and installed by Tenant at Tenant’s cost and expense. The design of Tenant’s monument panel shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant’s panel shall be in a location upon the monument sign as designated by Landlord.

4. Right of First Refusal.

Subject to the rights of any tenants of the Building existing as of the date of this Lease, provided this Lease is then in full force and effect, there exists no Default, there is no sublease of any portion of the Premises or assignment of any of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, then, commencing on the date of this Lease and continuing through the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) month of the Term, Landlord hereby grants Tenant right of first refusal to lease all (but not a portion) of the approximately 8,001 square feet of Rentable Floor Area commonly known as Suite 1218-D of the Building and shown on Exhibit A hereto (the “ROFR Space”), upon the other terms and conditions set forth herein.

3


Premises hereunder with corresponding escalations. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to lease less than all of the ROFR Space. Tenant shall have five (5) Business Days to accept or reject such offer. If Tenant rejects such offer or fails to respond within said five (5) Business Day period, then Landlord shall be entitled to rent said space to a third party on such terms and conditions. If Tenant accepts said offer, then Tenant shall have leased such space upon applicable terms set forth in this Special Stipulation 4. The Rent for said ROFR Space shall commence on the earlier to occur of (i) thirty (30) days after the Landlord delivers possession of such space to Tenant for Tenant’s installation of its leasehold improvements, or (ii) the date Tenant occupies such ROFR Space.

WHEREAS, GPI T&U INLAND, LP, a Texas limited partnership and MIRION TECHNOLOGIES (MGPI), INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), have simultaneously executed or are about to execute a lease (the “Lease”) with respect to certain space known and numbered locally as Suites 1218A, 1218B, 1218C and 1236C (collectively, the “Premises”) located at 1218 and 1236 Menlo Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30318, commonly known as Inland Tract, pursuant to which Landlord will lease the Premises to Tenant; and

WHEREAS, the undersigned MIRION TECHNOLOGIES (GLOBAL), LTD., hereinafter, referred to as “Guarantor”, have a financial interest in Tenant, and Guarantor desires to induce Landlord to enter into the Lease and/or to extend credit to Tenant; and

WHEREAS, Landlord would not enter into the Lease with Tenant if Guarantor did not execute and deliver to Landlord this Lease Guaranty (this “Guaranty”);

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the execution of the foregoing Lease by Landlord and as a material inducement to Landlord to execute the Lease, Guarantor hereby severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment by Tenant of all Base Rent, Additional Rent (as such terms, and all other capitalized terms herein, are defined in the Lease) and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Lease, and the faithful, full and prompt performance by Tenant of each and every one of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant. The reduction of or limitation on any liabilities of Tenant under the Lease pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding shall not cause a reduction in or otherwise affect the liabilities or obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Lease to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that in the event the Lease is guaranteed by more than one guarantor, such guarantors, including Guarantor, shall be jointly and severally liable.

It is specifically agreed and understood by Guarantor that the terms of the Lease may be altered, affected, modified or changed by agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or by a course of conduct or mutual departure, and the Lease may be assigned by Landlord or any assignee of Landlord, or, subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in the Lease, the Lease may be assigned or the Premises sublet by Tenant or by and assignee or sublessee, in each case without consent or notice to Guarantor, and upon the occurrence of any of such events this Guaranty shall thereupon and thereafter guarantee the performance of the Lease as so changed, modified, altered, assigned or sublet, all without releasing or relieving any Guarantor in any manner whatsoever.

This Guaranty shall not be released, modified or affected by failure or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce any of the rights or remedies of the Landlord under the Lease, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or at law or in equity. No notice of default need be given to Guarantor, it being specifically agreed and understood that the guarantee of the undersigned is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee under which Landlord may proceed forthwith and immediately against Tenant or against Guarantor following any breach or default by Tenant or for the enforcement of any rights which Landlord may have as against Tenant pursuant to or under the terms of the Lease or at law or in equity. Landlord shall have the right to proceed against Guarantor hereunder following any breach or default by Tenant without first proceeding against Tenant and without previous notice to or demand upon either Tenant or Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon:


(a) any lack of acceptance or notice of acceptance of this Guaranty; (b) any lack of demand of payment, presentment, protest, or notice of demand, protest, presentment, dishonor or non-payment; (c) [intentionally deleted]; (d) any right to require the Landlord to proceed against the Tenant or any other Guarantor or any other person or entity liable to Landlord, including without limitation the provisions of Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 10-7-24 (Michie as amended); (e) any right to require Landlord to apply to any default, any security deposit or other security it may hold under the Lease; (f) any right to require Landlord to proceed under any other remedy Landlord may have before proceeding against Guarantor; (g) any right of subrogation; (h) any incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Guarantor or any other person or entity, except to the extent Tenant substitutes, within ninety (90) days of such incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability, a new equity member as Guarantor and/or allocates the remaining Guarantors’ percentages among all non-affected Guarantors so as to remove the affected Guarantor as a guarantor of the Lease; (i) any failure of Landlord to commence an action against Tenant or any other person or entity (including, without limitation, other Guarantors, if any), or to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of Tenant or any other person or entity, whether or not demand is made upon Landlord to file or enforce such claim; G) any failure of Landlord to give notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or other obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of any other person or entity, in connection with the Lease or any obligation hereby guaranteed; (k) [intentionally deleted]; (I) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any provision of the Lease; (m) any sale, transfer, sublease or assignment of the Lease or Premises, in whole or in part; (n) any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the Lease or Premises; (o) any deficiencies in the ability of Landlord to collect or obtain performance from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment or performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed, except to the extent said deficiency exceeds Guarantor’s percentage of the Guaranty Amount; (p) any assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Tenant), or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Landlord to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter acquired, which Landlord may have against Guarantor; (q) any modifications of the Landlord or any obligation of Tenant relating to the Lease by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; and (r) any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Guarantor under any provision hereof, or otherwise. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates to Landlord and Landlord’s rights under the Lease any right or contribution from or indemnity against Tenant, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has no right whatsoever to proceed against Tenant for reimbursement of any such payments, at any time while a Default by Tenant under the Lease remains outstanding and uncured. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, and provided there has been an uncured Default under the Lease or an uncured default by Guarantor, Guarantor hereby subordinates to Landlord and Landlord’s rights under the Lease any and all indebtedness of Tenant now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord, and agrees with Landlord that Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Tenant, and shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness; provided, however, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that unless and until an uncured Default under the Lease by Tenant occurs, and/or unless and until an uncured default by Guarantor occurs, Tenant and Guarantor may conduct business in their sole discretion, and neither Tenant’s nor Guarantor’s actions shall be controlled by Landlord or this Guaranty.

Guarantor acknowledges that the Lease requires that Tenant provide or cause to be provided to Landlord certain financial statements of Guarantor. Upon Landlord’s written request made not more than once per calendar year, Guarantor hereby agrees to provide to Landlord all such financial statements in such form and at such times as is required under the provisions of the Lease and Guarantor’s personal financial statement. Guarantor warrants and represents to Guarantor’s actual knowledge (a) that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty do not violate or constitute a breach of any agreement to which Guarantor is a party or any applicable laws, and (b) that there is no litigation, claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened against Guarantor which would adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to fulfill all obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and (c) that all financial statements heretofore delivered by Guarantor to Landlord are true and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof, and no material change has occurred in the financial condition of Guarantor since the date thereof. Guarantor warrants and represents that Guarantor is knowledgeable in regards to the financial condition of Tenant and is executing and delivering this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor’s own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and that Guarantor is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Landlord. Guarantor warrants, represents and agrees that Guarantor is in a position to obtain, and Guarantor hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning the financial condition of Tenant and any other matter pertinent hereto, and that Guarantor is not relying upon Landlord to furnish, and shall have no right to require Landlord to obtain or disclose, any information with respect to the indebtedness or obligations guaranteed hereby, the financial condition or character of Tenant or the ability of Tenant to pay the indebtedness or perform the obligations guaranteed hereby, the existence of any collateral or security for any or all of such indebtedness or obligations, the existence or nonexistence of any other guaranties of all or any part of such indebtedness or obligations, any actions or non-action on the part of Landlord, Tenant or any other person or entity, or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor acknowledges and knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of guaranty.

The term “Landlord” whenever used in this Guaranty refers to and means the Landlord specifically named in the Lease and also any assignee of the Landlord, whether by outright assignment or by assignment for security, and also any successor to the interest of said Landlord or of any assignee in the Lease or any part thereof, whether by assignment or otherwise. So long as the Landlord’s interest in or to the Premises or the rents, issues and profits therefrom, or in, to or under the said Lease, are subject to any mortgage or deed of trust or assignment for security, no acquisition by Guarantor of the Landlord’s interest in the Premises or under the Lease shall affect the continuing obligation of Guarantor under this Guaranty, which shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or assignee under such mortgage, deed of trust or assignment, of any purchase at sale by judicial foreclosure or under private power of sale, and of the successors and assigns of any such mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, assignee or purchaser. The term “Tenant” whenever used in this Guaranty refers to and means the Tenant specifically named in the Lease and also any assignee of the Lease or sublessee of the Premises or any part thereof, and also any successor to the interests of the Tenant, and/or any assignee of the Lease or sublessee of the Premises or any part thereof, whether by assignment, sublease or otherwise.

 

3


As part of this Guaranty, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall include payment to Landlord of all reasonable costs and expenses of any successful legal action by Landlord against Guarantor, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred; provided, however, if Guarantor is the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding then Landlord shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Guarantor, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred.

If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this Guaranty, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Guaranty that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity. The provisions of this section shall control every other provision of this Guaranty.

This Guaranty, all acts and transactions hereunder and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. As part of the consideration for Landlord’s entering into the Lease of which this Guaranty is a part, the Guarantor hereby agrees that all actions or proceedings arising directly or indirectly hereunder may, at the option of Landlord, be litigated in courts having situs within the State of Georgia, and the Guarantor hereby expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such local, state or federal court, and consents that any service of process in such action or proceeding may be made by personal service upon the Guarantor whenever the Guarantor may then be located, or by certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to such Guarantor at such Guarantor’s address as set forth below, or any subsequent notice address of which Guarantor has provided to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice. Notices under or pursuant to this Guaranty shall be given to Landlord at the address first set forth above, or any subsequent notice address of which Landlord has provided Guarantor at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice. Notices under or pursuant to this Guaranty shall be given either by United States Postal Service certified mail return receipt requested, or by receipted same-day or overnight private courier service (e.g. Federal Express or similar carrier), to a party at their address specified herein or to their last address specified by at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the other party. Notices shall be deemed effective on the date of delivery, refusal to accept delivery or inability to deliver, as evidenced by return receipt or by records or the courier service. Notice given by either party’s respective legal counsel shall be effective notice hereunder.

Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations of Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty may not be changed orally, and no obligation of Guarantor can be released or waived by Landlord or any officer or agent of Landlord, except by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Landlord. The provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and, if applicable because Tenant has not named a replacement guarantor or adjusted the Guarantors’ percentages accordingly as set forth herein, the heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Landlord, the heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns of Landlord. This Guaranty shall in no event be impaired by any change which may arise by reason of the dissolution of Tenant, if Tenant is a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or other entity. Guarantor has executed this Guaranty individually. This Guaranty is assignable by Landlord only in connection with a concurrent assignment and assumption of the Lease by such assignee and/or an assignment of this Guaranty for security purposes in connection with a concurrent assignment of leases and rents and Mortgage to Landlord’s Mortgagee with respect to the Building, and any full or partial assignment hereof by Landlord shall operate to vest in the assignee all rights and powers herein conferred upon and granted to Landlord and so assigned by Landlord. Guarantor expressly waives

notice of transfer or assignment of this Guaranty and acknowledges that the failure by Landlord to give any such notice shall not affect the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Guaranty. All personal pronouns used herein, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders; and the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Titles of articles and sections are for convenience only and in no way define, limit, amplify or describe the scope or intent of any provisions hereof. If Guarantor is a partnership, all of the provisions hereof referring to Guarantor shall be construed to apply to each of the general partners of Guarantor and of any and all further tiers of general partners in the structure of Guarantor. This Guaranty and the Lease together contain the entire agreement between Guarantor and Landlord relating to the guarantying of the Lease by Guarantor and supersedes entirely any and all prior written or oral agreements with respect thereto; and Guarantor and Landlord acknowledge that there are

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE

AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made this __ day of __________, 20___, by and among STATE BANK AND TRUST COMPANY (hereinafter    referred to as “Lender”) and _______________________ (hereinafter referred to as “Landlord”), and _______________________ (hereinafter)referred to as “Tenant”);

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have entered into a certain lease agreement dated ______________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”), with respect to the leasing of [all or a portion] of the property described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (such leased premises, as more particularly described in the Lease, is herein referred to as the “Premises”); and

WHEREAS, Landlord has requested and Lender has agreed to make a loan to Landlord in the approximate original principal amount of $ _________ (as the same may be amended now or in the future, the “Loan”), which Loan shall be secured in part by a Deed to Secure Debt, Assignment of Rents and Leases and Security Agreement encumbering said property described in Exhibit “A” (the “Security Instrument”); and

WHEREAS, as a material inducement to Lender to enter into the Loan, Tenant agrees and confirms that the Lease is and shall remain subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument, provided Tenant is assured of continued occupancy of the Premises under the terms of the Lease;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, it is hereby agreed as follows:

Lender, Tenant and Landlord do hereby covenant and agree that the Lease with all rights, options, and charges created thereby, is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Security Instrument and to any advancements made thereunder and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, including any increases therein or supplements thereof.


Lender does hereby agree with Tenant that, so long as Tenant complies with and performs its obligations under the Lease, (a) Lender will take no action which will interfere with or disturb the right of Tenant to the use, possession and enjoyment of the Premises in accordance with the Lease, and (b) in the event Lender or any other purchaser becomes the owner of the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the Premises shall be subject to the Lease and Lender or such other purchaser shall recognize Tenant as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease in accordance with the provisions thereof, provided, however, that Lender or such other purchaser shall not be liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord), or subject to any offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord, or required to construct any improvements which were required to be constructed by any prior landlord, nor shall Lender or such other purchaser be bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord or be liable for the return of any security deposit theretofore paid by Tenant, nor shall Lender or such other purchaser be bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Lender’s consent.

Tenant does hereby agree with Lender that, in the event Lender or another purchaser becomes the owner of the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Lender or such other purchaser as the landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof, and Tenant shall perform and observe its obligations thereunder. Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon request of Lender, or its assigns, an appropriate agreement of attornment to any subsequent titleholder of the Premises.

So long as the Security Instrument remains outstanding and unsatisfied, Tenant will mail or deliver to Lender, at the address and in the manner herein below provided, a copy of all notices permitted or required to be given to the landlord by Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease. At any time before the rights of the landlord shall have been forfeited or adversely affected because of any default of the landlord, or within the time permitted the landlord for curing any default under the Lease as therein provided (but not less than sixty (60) days from the receipt of notice), Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, pay any taxes and assessments, make any repairs and improvements, make any deposits or do any other act or thing required of the landlord by the terms of the Lease; and all payments so made and all things so done and performed by Lender shall be as effective to prevent the rights of the landlord from being forfeited or adversely affected because of any default under the Lease as the same would have been if done and performed by the landlord.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has executed and delivered to Lender an assignment of the Lease as security for the Loan, and Tenant hereby expressly consents to such assignment.

Tenant agrees that there shall be no further subordination of the interest of the Tenant under the Lease to any other lender or to any other party without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. Any attempt to effect a further subordination of Tenant’s interest under the Lease without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender shall be null and void.

Landlord and Tenant hereby certify to Lender that the Lease has been duly executed by Landlord and Tenant and is in full force and effect; that the Lease and any modifications and amendments specified herein are a complete statement of the agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the leasing of the Premises, and the Lease has not been modified or amended except as specified herein; that to the knowledge of Landlord and Tenant, no party to the Lease is in default thereunder; that no rent under the Lease has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date; and that Tenant, as of this date, has no charge, lien or claim of offset under the Lease, or otherwise, against the rents or other charges due or to become due thereunder.
