conduct all inspections, tests, analysis, studies, reviews, appraisals, and other investigations
(“Inspections”) related to the Condition of the Leased Parcel which Tenant deemed necessary or
desirable to lease the Leased Parcel, taking into account the “AS IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” basis
of the transaction which this Lease contemplates. Tenant shall rely solely on the Inspections, its

consultants engaged by Tenant.

(“Tenant’s Work”). The Tenant’s Work shall be constructed in accordance with the REA and

engineer who shall be required to agree as provided in Section 17.3 hereof. Prior to
commencement of construction of the Tenant’s Work, said plans and specifications shall be
submitted to Landlord and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord shall not

their presentation to and approval by Landlord, be presented to all governmental agencies and

Leased Parcel. Tenant shall deliver the Leased Parcel and all improvements thereon to Landlord
in good and leaseable condition.

other property covered by such “blanket policy” shall not impair or reduce the coverage required
by this Lease for the Leased Parcel and Improvements. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord on or
before the Lease Term Commencement Date, and thereafter at least thirty (30) days before the
expiration dates of expiring policies, certified copies of its insurance policies or a certificate
evidencing the same, issued by the insurer thereunder and showing that all premiums have been

representatives for loss or damage to any property of the releasing party or any person claiming
through the releasing party arising from any cause required to be insured against by the releasing
party under this Section 13, but only to the extent that insurance proceeds are actually made
available to such releasing party and only so long as the foregoing release and waiver does not
adversely affect any insurance carried by such releasing party. The parties shall cause their
insurance policies to contain a waiver of subrogation consistent with the foregoing, provided that
it is obtainable at no extra cost. If such a waiver of subrogation is obtainable only upon the
payment of an additional premium, then the party attempting to obtain such waiver shall give
written notice to the other party and shall be required to obtain such waiver only if the other
party pays the cost of obtaining such waiver.
14.
Damage by Casualty.
14.1 Notification to Landlord. If the Building is damaged or destroyed by
fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, or by the elements or through any casualty or otherwise, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant at its expense shall promptly restore and
repair or rebuild the same, to the same condition that existed immediately prior to such damage
or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Building and/or Improvements is damaged
by an uninsured casualty in an amount in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of its replacement
value, Tenant may elect to demolish the Building and remove all debris from the Leased Parcel
instead of reconstructing the Building. In such event, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect and Tenant shall continue to perform all of its obligations hereunder.
14.2 In the event the Building is damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, tornado,
earthquake, or by the elements through any casualty or otherwise to the extent that it is, in the
opinion of Tenant, untenantable or incapable of use for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and
such damage or destruction occurs within the last twenty-four (24) months of the original Lease
Term or of any Extended Term, Tenant shall have the option, exercisable within thirty (30) days
following such damage or destruction, of terminating this Lease effective upon delivery of
written notice to Landlord. If Tenant terminates this Lease as above provided, Tenant shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to Landlord all proceeds of all insurance on the Building, and
Tenant shall promptly assign its rights to such proceeds to Landlord, cooperate in obtaining
payment from the insurance carrier, and endorse any payment representing any proceeds of such
insurance to Landlord.

law providing that a ground lease, lease or sublease shall terminate on the destruction or partial
destruction of the Building, or affording Tenant any right or benefit that is not expressly set forth
in this Section 14. Tenant and Landlord each hereby agree that Tenant’s rights in the event of
destruction or partial destruction of the Building shall be governed solely by the provisions of
this Lease.

15.
Condemnation.
15.1 Entire or Substantial Taking. If the whole of the Leased Parcel and
Improvements or more than __________ percent (_____%) of the existing parking spaces in the
Common Area located on the Leased Parcel shall be taken by condemnation or eminent domain
or, if such condemnation or taking prevents ingress and egress to and from the Leased Parcel
from the existing access points on ____________ Street or ___________ Street, and if Landlord
cannot within thirty (30) days thereafter provide alternative access to the Leased Parcel, then
Tenant shall have the option to terminate the Lease by delivering written notice of such election
within ninety (90) days of the earlier of the date of the vesting of title in the taking entity or the
day possession shall be taken by such entity. In the event Tenant fails to deliver such written
notice within said __________- (_____-) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its
right to terminate this Lease. If, however, more than __________ percent (_____%), but less
than all, of the Leased Parcel and Improvements shall be taken during the Lease Term or any
Extended Term for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance, or
regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or shall be sold to the condemning authority under
threat of condemnation (any of such events being hereinafter referred to as a “taking”), and if
such taking renders the remainder unusable for Tenant’s business use, in the reasonable opinion
of Tenant, Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease by giving Landlord written
notice on or before the date of the vesting of title in the condemning authority or the day
possession shall be taken by such condemning authority, whichever is earlier. In the event of
any other form of taking or interference of the Leased Parcel, the Lease shall continue in full
force and effect.
15.2 Award. In the event of a taking which does not give rise to an option to
terminate, or in such an event and Tenant elects not to terminate, Landlord shall, to the extent the
award received by Landlord as the result of such taking (which term “Award” shall include any
settlement or purchase price under a sale in lieu of condemnation), promptly restore, replace, or
repair the Parcel Common Area (but not the Building) to the same condition as existed
immediately prior to such taking insofar as is reasonably possible. If the award shall exceed the
amount spent or to be spent promptly to effect such restoration, repair, or replacement, such
excess amount shall be credited against rental as such rentals become due under the Lease, but
only to the extent of diminution in rental value for the combined original Lease Term and any
Extended Term, and any portion of the Award not used for restoration, replacement, or repair
and in excess of the diminution in such rental value for the combined original Lease Term and
any Extended Term shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant based upon their respective
pro-rata contributions to the cost of the Improvements. In the event of a taking which gives rise
to an option to terminate and Tenant elects to terminate, any condemnation award for the value
of the Improvements constructed by Tenant on the Leased Parcel shall be allocated to Tenant for
the unamortized portion of the actual cost of Tenant’s Work for which Tenant was not
reimbursed by Landlord (which shall be amortized over a fifteen- (15-) year period), and then the
remainder to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15,
Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, pursue any damages incurred specifically by
Tenant in any condemnation proceeding or action.

Page 17 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
16.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default described

without demand for possession thereof, and remove all persons, goods, chattels, and equipment
therefrom, using such force as is necessary, and repossess and enjoy the Leased Parcel, without
prejudice to any remedy or claim for arrears of rent or breach of covenant or agreement. If
Landlord elects to cure a default of Tenant, then Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord all expenses
incurred by Landlord in curing such default within ten (10) days after receipt from Landlord of a
billing therefor. Any property removed by Landlord may be stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. Should Landlord decide to re-enter the
Leased Parcel as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or
pursuant to any notice provided by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease or, from time
to time, without terminating this Lease, make all reasonable attempts to mitigate its damages and
to relet the Leased Parcel or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals
and upon such other commercially reasonable terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole
discretion, deems advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Parcel

(iii) to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and (iv) the residue, if any, shall be held
by Landlord and applied to the payment of future rent as it may become due and payable
hereunder. Should rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that agreed
to by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall
be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay Landlord, as soon as ascertained, the costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in the making of such alterations and
repairs. No such re-entry or taking possession of said Leased Parcel or Improvements by
Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless written notice

jurisdiction.

to Section 16.2, then Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies available to a landlord at law
or in equity, including the right to recover from Tenant: (i) the worth at the time of award of
unpaid rent and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder which had been earned at the time
of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which unpaid rent and such
other amounts that would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds
the amount of loss of rent and such other amounts that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which unpaid rent for the balance
of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves
could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this
Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom. The “worth
at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) shall be computed
with interest at the highest rate allowed by law. As used herein, “time of award” shall mean
either the date upon which Tenant pays to Landlord the amount recoverable by Landlord as

Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6

than as permitted in this Section 19, shall be null and void.
19.2 Excess Consideration. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or
sublease pursuant to Section 19.1, then such consent shall be expressly conditioned upon
Tenant’s compliance with the following:
19.2.1
provision of this Lease.
No Default. Tenant shall not then be in default of any term or
19.2.2
Payment of Consideration to Landlord. In the case of a
subletting by Tenant, the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder during the term of the
sublease shall be increased by a sum equal to one hundred percent (100%) of any and all
consideration received by Tenant from its subtenant in excess of the rent (including all additional
rent) payable by Tenant hereunder, less the smaller amount of (i) the actual costs and expenses
incurred by Tenant in connection with the sublease, which costs and expenses may include,
without limitation, broker commissions, remodeling and/or renovation costs, allowances and/or
cash inducements, relocation costs, and other similar cost and expenses (but not attorney fees); or
(ii) Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) in the case of an assignment of this Lease by
Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within five (5) days after receipt by Tenant, one
hundred percent (100%) of any and all consideration received by Tenant for such assignment less
the smaller amount of (a) the actual cost and expenses incurred by Tenant incurs in connection
with the assignment, which costs and expenses may include, without limitation, broker
commissions, remodeling and/or renovation costs, allowances and/or cash inducements,
relocation costs, and other similar costs and expenses (but not attorney fees)); or (b) Ten
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00). As used herein “consideration” includes any
payments received by Tenant on account of such assignment or subletting, rent, and other
payments received by Tenant on account thereof, payments made in consideration of the
Page 21 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
operation of Tenant’s business on the Leased Parcel, good will, non-competition covenants, or
any other amounts payable either directly or indirectly in connection with such transaction.
19.3 Exempt Transfers. Subject to the Construction Completion Limitation,
Tenant shall have the right to assign its interest under this Lease or sublet the Leased Parcel, or
any portion thereof, without the consent of Landlord, to any corporation (i) with which it may
merge or consolidate; (ii) that is a parent or subsidiary of Tenant; (iii) in which Tenant owns at
least fifty-one percent (51%) of the then issued shares of stock; or (iv) that is the successor
corporation to Tenant in the event of a corporate reorganization. In the event of any of the
transfers described above, Tenant shall give Landlord forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice of
such proposed transfer, and shall provide Landlord with all documentation reasonably required
by Landlord in order to verify that the proposed transfer falls within this Section 19.3.
19.4 No Release of Tenant. Except as otherwise specified in Section 19.4.1
below, should sublessee either assign its interest under this Lease or sublet the Leased Parcel as
permitted in this Section 19, Tenant shall nevertheless remain liable to Landlord for full payment
of the rent and other charges and full performance of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease.
No consent by Landlord to any modification, amendment, or termination of this Lease, or
extension, waiver, or modification of payment or performance of any other obligation under this
Lease, or any other action of Landlord with respect to any assignee or sublessee of Tenant, or the
insolvency, bankruptcy, or default of any such assignee or sublessee, shall affect the continuing
liability of Tenant for its obligations and liabilities hereunder, and Tenant waives any defense
arising out of or based thereon. With respect to any assignment or sublease permitted in this
Section 19, such assignment or sublease shall not be valid or effective unless and until Tenant
delivers to Landlord a copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment or the sublease and,
in the case of an assignment, a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord
pursuant to which the assignee assumes all the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this
Lease.
19.4.1
If: (i) construction of the Tenant’s Work and Tenant’s
Off-Parcel Work has been completed; (ii) this Lease has been in effect for five (5) full years and
is in good standing at the time of the Tenant’s Notice; (iii) no violation of this Lease exists
which, with the passage of time, could become an Event of Default; and (iv) Landlord approves
the assignee’s credit, then Tenant shall be released from its obligations under this Lease. If
Tenant is in default of this Lease and the default is cured prior to the effective date of the
assignment or sublease, Tenant will be released when all of the above criteria for release have
been met. In all cases, release of Tenant will be dependent upon Tenant being in compliance
with all other agreements with Landlord related to the Business Center including but not limited
to, the Master Agreement, this Lease and all other ground leases (excluding those ground leases
already assigned to other parties that Tenant no longer has liability under).
20.
Compliance with Laws.
20.1 Laws Generally. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
Section 20.2 with respect to laws relating to the use, generation, installation, release, discharge,
storage, transportation, or disposal of Hazardous Materials, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all
Page 22 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction of the Leased Parcel, and
shall perform all work required to comply therewith.
20.2 Compliance with Environmental Laws. If Tenant learns or has
reasonable cause to believe of the existence of any Hazardous Materials (or underground tanks)
on, about, under, or in the Leased Parcel, then Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of same.
Neither Tenant nor its agents, employees, or contractors, shall cause or permit Hazardous
Materials to be brought upon, kept or used in, on, or about the Leased Parcel or the Business
Center. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any inquiry, test, investigation, or
enforcement proceeding by or against Tenant involving the Leased Parcel and/or Business
Center and a Hazardous Material.
If, at any time during or after the Lease Term, any underground tanks and/or
Hazardous Materials are found to exist in, on, or under the Leased Parcel or the Improvements
(including the soils and underground water) or to have contaminated the soils, air, or
underground water of the Leased Parcel or the Improvements, then Tenant, at its sole cost and
expense, shall: (i) promptly remove such underground tanks and/or Hazardous Materials; and
(ii) take all such remedial action required by all applicable laws, ordinances, orders, rules,
regulations and requirements of all governmental and quasi-governmental authorities with
jurisdiction. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord its
successors, assigns, directors, officers, elected officials, employees, and agents from and against
any and all liability, claims, demands, losses, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including
reasonable attorney fees) arising out of the indemnifying party’s failure to comply with any of its
obligations under this Section 20. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
21.
Leasehold Mortgage. In the event that Tenant shall pledge the leasehold estate
hereunder as security for an indebtedness in any form whatsoever (such pledge hereinafter
referred to as a “mortgage”), and so long as Tenant gives notice to Landlord (the “Tenant’s
Notice”) that Tenant wishes to amend Section 18 of this Lease (“Notices”) to provide that copies
of all notices to the Tenant shall be given to the holder of the indebtedness secured by such
leasehold estate (“Mortgagee”), and includes in Tenant’s Notice the name and address of such
Mortgagee, then and in such event, the Landlord hereby agrees for the benefit of the Tenant and
such Mortgagee from time to time:
21.1 The Landlord will amend the provisions of Section 18 to provide that
copies of any Notices to the Tenant shall also be given in the same manner to the Mortgagee at
the address specified in the Tenant’s Notice and that no Notice given to the Tenant thereafter
shall be effective as against the Mortgagee unless a copy of the Notice has been given to the
Mortgagee at the address specified in the Tenant’s Notice in the manner provided in Section 18.
21.2 In the event of any default by the Tenant hereunder or under the terms of
the mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the privilege of performing any of the Tenant’s
covenants or of curing any default by the Tenant or of exercising any election, option, or
privilege confirmed upon the Tenant by the terms of this Lease.
Page 23 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
21.3 Notwithstanding anything which may be to the contrary in this Lease,
Landlord shall not terminate this Lease because of any default or breach on the part of Tenant
unless, after service by Landlord of written notice of the default or breach upon Tenant and upon
the Mortgagee (so long as Tenant has previously provided Landlord with the correct name and
address of its Mortgagee), the Mortgagee fails to cure the default within the time period
permitted Tenant under Section 16.1, plus an additional period of time equal to ten (10) days in
the event of any default in the payment of rent or other monetary obligation hereunder, and/or in
the event of any default other than a default in the payment of rent or any other monetary
obligation hereunder, a reasonable period of time thereafter, provided that during the cure period
specified in Section 16.1, the Mortgagee gives Landlord written notice of its intention to cure in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 21.3 and diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion. As used herein, “reasonable time” shall mean to include both the time diligently
necessary to obtain possession of the Leased Parcel and any Improvements, if the Mortgagee
elects to do so (including, without limitation, any time during which the Mortgagee may be
prevented from foreclosing and/or obtaining possession of the Leased Parcel and any
Improvements as a result of bankruptcy proceedings), and the time necessary to cure the default.
Any default of Tenant which cannot for any reason be cured by a Mortgagee shall be deemed to
be cured when the Mortgagee takes possession of the Leased Parcel and any Improvements;
provided, however, that in no event and under no circumstances shall a default consisting solely
of a failure to pay a sum of money be considered a default which cannot be immediately cured
by the Mortgagee.
If this Lease shall terminate for any reason other than the failure of the Mortgagee
to cure the default of Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 21.3 or as the
result of the expiration of this Lease, or this Lease is rejected or disaffirmed pursuant to any
bankruptcy law or other law affecting creditors’ rights, any Mortgagee shall have the right,
exercisable by written notice given to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the effective date of
termination, to enter into a new lease of the Leased Parcel. The term of the new lease shall begin
on the date the Lease terminates and shall continue for the remainder of the Lease Term. The
new lease shall otherwise contain the same terms and conditions as in this Lease, except for the
requirements already performed and no longer applicable. In consideration of the new lease and
as a condition to the right of the Mortgagee or its designee to occupy the Leased Parcel, the
Mortgagee or its designee shall pay to Landlord the amount of rent and any other sums which are
past due as of the date this Lease terminates and the new lease begins and, upon such payment,
shall be subrogate to all rights of Landlord to recover from Tenant the amount so paid. The new
lease shall have the same priority as this Lease relative to other rights or interests in or to the
Leased Parcel. From the date on which any Mortgagee shall serve upon Landlord a notice of the
exercise of its right to a new lease, the Mortgagee may use and enjoy the Leased Parcel without
hindrance by Landlord, provided all delinquent rent and any other past due sums are paid in full
to Landlord as herein provided. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees) incurred by Landlord in effecting the
provisions of this Section 21.3;
21.4 The execution and delivery of a leasehold mortgage or deed of trust and a
conditional assignment of this Lease as collateral security therefor shall not be deemed a lease
assignment for any other purpose; and
Page 24 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
21.5 Prior to such Mortgagee recording any document against the leasehold
interest of Tenant, Tenant or such Mortgagee shall provide a copy thereof to Landlord for
Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Landlord
fails to disapprove such document within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, Landlord shall be
deemed to have approved such document.
22.
Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided, but each
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
23.
Holding Over. If Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, remains in possession of the
Leased Parcel after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, such possession by
Tenant shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice given at any time by either party. During such month-to-month tenancy, Tenant
shall pay all rent and additional rent as and when required by this Lease on or before the
tenth (10th) day of each month; provided, however, that during such month-to-month tenancy, the
Minimum Rent payable pursuant to Section 3 shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
Minimum Rent payable by Tenant immediately prior to the commencement of the
month-to-month tenancy. All other provisions of this Lease, except those specifying the Lease
Term and any options to extend, shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy.
24.
Taxes. Tenant shall pay semi-annually and at least ten (10) days prior to
delinquency, any and all taxes and assessments that may be assessed or levied on or against the
Leased Parcel, the Building, the Improvements and against any of Tenant’s personal property,
fixtures, or equipment placed on or in the Leased Parcel and/or Building.
If at any time during the Lease Term any governmental authority levies or assesses
against Landlord a tax, fee, assessment or excise on (i) rents (or any other sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder or on Landlord’s receipt of rent or such other sums); or (ii) the
occupancy of Tenant; or (iii) levies or assesses against Landlord any other tax, fee, or excise,
however described, including a so-called “value added” tax, as a direct substitution in whole or
in part for or in addition to any real property taxes and assessments, then Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord as additional rent the amount of any such tax, fee, or excise within ten (10) days after
receipt of a written statement of all amounts paid by Landlord on account thereof. Landlord and
Tenant intend this Section 24 to require Tenant to pay, and Tenant shall pay, all taxes,
assessments, levies, and other charges, regardless of how they are designated, arising out of
Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Parcel or which are attributable to the Building and the Leased
Parcel, or for which Landlord is responsible as owner of the Leased Parcel by law. Taxes for any
partial tax fiscal year immediately following the Lease Term Commencement Date and/or prior
to the expiration (or sooner termination) of the Lease Term shall be prorated between Landlord
and Tenant based on a three-hundred-sixty-five- (365-) day tax fiscal year. Tenant shall have the
right to challenge the assessment of any real property tax and Landlord, at Tenant’s expense,
shall reasonably cooperate in such challenge. In the event such challenge results in an increase
in the real property taxes for the Leased Parcel, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the
payment of any and all such increases.
Page 25 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
25.
Late Charge. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Such costs include processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any other agreements, which may involve the Leased Parcel.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent, additional rent or other sum due from Tenant are not
received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of
written notice from Landlord of such delinquency, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late
payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord.
26.
Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall
have quiet and peaceful possession of the Leased Parcel.
27.
Right of Entry. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right
to enter the Leased Parcel at reasonable intervals and at all reasonable times upon reasonable
notice for any of the following purposes:
27.1 To determine whether the Leased Parcel, Building, and Improvements are
in a state of good condition and repair and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations
under this Lease;
27.2 To serve, post, or keep posted any notices required or allowed under the
provisions of this Lease or by law;
27.3 To post “For Sale” signs at any time during the Lease Term, and to post
“For Rent” or “For Lease” signs during the last two (2) years of the Lease Term or during any
period while Tenant is in default; and
27.4 To show the Leased Parcel and the Improvements to prospective brokers,
agents, buyers, or persons interested in an exchange, at any time during the Lease Term, and to
prospective lessees or sublessees at any time during the last two (2) years of the Lease Term or
during any period while Tenant is in default.
28.
Waivers. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of
Landlord with respect to any default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed
as a waiver. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent rent or other payments due
hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any other default; it shall constitute only a waiver of
timely payment for the particular rent or other payment involved. No act or conduct of Landlord,
including the acceptance of the keys to the Building, shall constitute an acceptance of the
surrender of the Leased Parcel, the Building, or the Improvements by Tenant before the
expiration of the Lease Term; only a notice of termination from Landlord to Tenant shall
constitute acceptance of the surrender and accomplish a termination of this Lease prior to the
expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring
Page 26 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s
consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Landlord of any default
must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any
other provision of this Lease.
29.
Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. If Landlord conveys in a sale, exchange, or
otherwise, all its interest in this Lease or in the property interests which are the subjects of this
Lease, then Landlord, on consummation of the conveyance, shall thereupon automatically be
released from any obligation or liability thereafter accruing under this Lease if Landlord’s
successor assumes in writing Landlord’s obligations under this Lease accruing from and after the
date of such assignment or transfer. If any security deposit or prepaid rent has been paid by
Tenant, Landlord may transfer such security deposit or prepaid rent to Landlord’s successor, and
on such transfer, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability in connection with the
security deposit or prepaid rent.
30.
Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every
provision of this Lease in which time of performance is specified.
31.
Right to Estoppel Certificates. Tenant and Landlord shall, within twenty (20)
days after notice from the other party, execute and deliver in recordable form, a statement in
writing certifying: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified,
identifying each such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and effect); (ii) the date to which the monthly Minimum Rent and any additional rent have been
paid in advance, if at all, and the amount of any security deposit; (iii) the commencement and
expiration dates of the Lease Term; (iv) that there are no options to extend or renew the Lease
Term or to purchase the Leased Parcel which such party claims (except as may be identified by
such party); and (v) that there are not, to the knowledge of the party providing such certificate,
any uncured defaults on the part of the other party hereunder (or specifying such defaults, if any,
as are claimed).
32.
Attorney Fees. If either party hereto brings an action at law or in equity to
enforce, interpret, or seek redress for the breach of this Lease, then the prevailing party in such
action shall be entitled to recover all court costs, witness fees, and reasonable attorney fees, in
addition to all other appropriate relief.
33.
Joint and Several Obligations. The term “party” shall mean Landlord or
Tenant; and if more than one person or entity is Landlord or Tenant, the obligations imposed on
that party shall be joint and several.
34.
Severability. The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision of
this Lease shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid, or illegal.
35.
Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the State of Idaho.
36.
Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 19 regarding
assignment and subletting, all the provisions, terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease shall
Page 27 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and assigns.
37.
Construction and Interpretation. The use words “including,” “such as,” or
words of similar import, when following any general statement shall not be construed to limit
such statement to the specific items mentioned, whether or not language of non-limitation such
as “without limitation” or “but not limited to” is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be
deemed to refer to all other items that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of
such statement. All provisions of this Lease have been negotiated by Landlord and Tenant at
arm’s length and neither party shall be deemed the scrivener of this Lease. This Lease shall not
be construed for or against either party by reason of the authorship or alleged authorship of any
provision hereof or by reason of the status of the respective parties as Landlord or Tenant.
38.
Integrated Agreement; Modification. This Lease contains all of the
representations, understandings and agreements of the parties with respect to the demise of the
Leased Parcel and may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement signed by
both parties.
39.
Document Execution and Change. It is understood and agreed that until this
Lease is fully executed and delivered by both Tenant and Landlord, there is not and shall not be
an agreement of any kind between the parties hereto upon which any commitment, undertaking
or obligation can be founded.
40.
Section Headings; References. Except in Section 1 (“Definitions”), the section
headings of this Lease are inserted only for convenience of reference and in no way define, limit,
or describe the scope or intent of this Lease or affect its terms or provisions. Unless the context
requires otherwise, references to “sections” and “exhibits” are references to the sections and
exhibits of this Lease.
41.
Survival of Defaults and Obligations. The expiration or sooner termination of
this Lease shall not impair or otherwise affect any right or remedy available to either Landlord or
Tenant hereunder with respect to any default by the other party which remains uncured as of the
date of expiration or termination of the Lease. All liabilities, indemnities, and unperformed
obligations and covenants existing prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease
shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease and shall be enforceable by Landlord.
42.
Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the
performance of any obligation required to be performed by it hereunder unless and until it has
failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to
Landlord specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged default; provided, however, that if the
nature of Landlord’s alleged default is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its
cure, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such performance
within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. If the
Leased Parcel, or any portion thereof, is at any time subject to any mortgage or a deed of trust,
Tenant shall serve on the Mortgagee or beneficiary thereunder concurrent copies of any notice of
default served on Landlord hereunder. If Landlord fails to cure any noticed breach hereunder
within the time period provided in this Section 42, then any such Mortgagee or beneficiary shall
Page 28 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure Landlord’s breach, plus such additional
time as may be necessary to perfect such Mortgagee’s or beneficiary’s rights and remedies under
its mortgage or deed of trust (including foreclosure proceedings or the appointment of a receiver)
and complete cure in fact. If and when such Mortgagee or beneficiary has rendered performance
on behalf of Landlord, Landlord’s breach shall be deemed cured, and if for any reason
Landlord’s breach is not susceptible of cure, it shall nevertheless be deemed cured upon such
Mortgagee’s or beneficiary’s taking of possession of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Parcel.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under applicable law, Tenant shall have no right to
terminate this Lease during the notice and cure periods hereunder, but in the event of a final
judicial determination (including all appeals therefrom) of breach of this Lease by Landlord
resulting in a monetary award of damages against Landlord and in favor of Tenant, then, and
only in that event, Tenant may offset the amount of such damages awarded against Minimum
Rent as the same comes due. If Landlord fails to cure its breach hereunder (or such breach is not
cured by a Mortgagee or beneficiary as herein specified), then Landlord shall be liable to Tenant
only for Tenant’s direct damages caused thereby and Tenant waives any rights to recover
consequential damages on account thereof.
43.
Force Majeure. The occurrence of any of the following events shall excuse the
performance of such obligations of Landlord or Tenant as are thereby rendered impossible or not
reasonably practicable for so long as such event continues: strikes; lockouts; labor disputes; acts
of God; inability to obtain labor, materials, or reasonable substitutes therefor; governmental
restrictions, regulations, or controls; judicial orders; enemy, or hostile government action; civil
commotion; fire or other casualty; and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party
obligated to perform; provided, however, that in no event will the occurrence of any of said
events or causes excuse the failure to pay rent or any other payment to be made by Tenant
hereunder strictly as and when required under this Lease.
44.
Authority. Each party hereby warrants to the other that the execution of this
Lease by such party and the performance of all of the obligations to be performed by such party
hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary governmental, organizational and
partnership action. Each party further warrants to the other that each individual signing this
Lease on behalf of such party has been fully authorized and empowered to do so by such party.
45.
Interest. Any sum due and payable to Landlord under the terms of this Lease
which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date when the same becomes due and
payable by the provisions hereof until paid at a per-annum interest rate equal to the greater of
(i) ____________ percent (___%); or (ii) the reference rate, or succeeding similar index, of the
Bank of America, N.T. & S.A., in effect from time to time, plus two percent (2%); or (iii) the
maximum rate allowed by applicable usury law.
46.
No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a
lesser amount than the rent or other payment herein provided shall be deemed to be other than on
account of the earliest rent or other payment due and payable hereunder, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or
other payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept any such check or
payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or other
payment or pursue any other right or remedy provided in this Lease.
Page 29 - GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
Section 08 - Ground Lease
Agreement doc\tmf/11/8/2011-6
47.
Waiver of Right of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all
rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future law in the event Tenant is evicted
or dispossessed from the Leased Parcel for any cause, or in the event Landlord obtains
possession of the Leased Parcel by reason of the commission by Tenant of an Event of Default or
otherwise.
48.
Subordination and Attornment.
48.1 Subordination. Landlord represents that there is currently no mortgage
or deed of trust that encumbers the Leased Parcel. If any future Mortgagee or beneficiary so
elects in writing, then, so long as such Mortgagee or beneficiary executes a non-disturbance
agreement in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, this Lease shall be subject and
subordinate to the lien of the mortgage or deed of trust held by such Mortgagee or beneficiary,
whether this Lease is dated or recorded before or after such mortgage or trust deed. Upon
request, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord, or any such Mortgagee or
beneficiary, any documents or instruments required by any of them to evidence subordination of
this Lease hereunder or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust as
herein specified. If Tenant fails or refuses to do so within ten (10) days after written request
therefor by Landlord or such Mortgagee or beneficiary, such failure or refusal shall constitute an
Event of Default hereunder by Tenant, but shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of
the subordination to or by the mortgage or deed of trust held by such Mortgagee or beneficiary.
As used herein, the terms “mortgage” and “deed of trust” include any sale and leaseback
transaction in which Landlord sells and simultaneously leases back all or any portion of its
interest in the Leased Parcel.
48.2 Attornment by Tenant. Upon enforcement of any rights or remedies
under any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease is subordinated (including proceedings
for judicial foreclosure or a trustee’s sale pursuant to a power of sale, or deed in lieu of
foreclosure delivered by Landlord to the Mortgagee or beneficiary thereunder), Tenant shall, at
the election of the purchaser or transferee under such right or remedy, attorn to, and recognize
such purchaser or transferee as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall execute and
deliver any document or instrument required by such purchaser or transferee confirming the
attornment hereunder.
49.
Relationship. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by
the parties or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent, or of
partnership, joint venture, or any association between Landlord and Tenant, and neither the
method of computation of percentage rent, nor any other provision contained in this Lease, nor
any acts of the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant
other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
50.
No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant
shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Parcel for satisfaction of any liability of
Landlord in respect hereof, and will not seek recourse against any other asset of Landlord or its
elected officials, appointed officials, managers, officers, employees, agents, or any of them or
their personal assets, for such satisfaction.
