NW Flex Space Lease Agreement

 

This Warehouse Space Lease Agreement (this “Lease”) is entered into by and between NW Flex Space LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Lessor”), and Motherlode LLC, an Oregon Limited Liability Corporation (“Lessee”). Lessor is the tenant under that certain Lease Agreement with Financial Growth Technologies LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Master Lessor”) dated November 1st, 2016 (the “Master Lease”) for that certain property located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Property”). Lessee desires to sublease certain space at the Property from Lessor. Lessor is willing to sublease that space to Lessee on the terms and conditions set fort in this NW Flex Space Lease Agreement (this “Lease”).

 

1. Premises. Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, approximately 9,222 square feet of industrial space (the “Premises”) in the building (the “Building”) located on the Property. A depiction of the Premises is shown on Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

2. Term. The term of this Lease will commence on February 1st, 2017 (the “Commencement Date”) and will expire on December 31st, 2018 (the “Term’1, except as otherwise provided in Section 22 below.

 

3. Rent. Monthly rent shall be $6,400 (“Rent”), payable in advance to Lessor on or before the Commencement Date and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. Rent shall be payable without prior notice or demand, without offset or deduction at the address of Lessor set forth below. In the event that any Rent or other amount payable under this Lease is not received by Lessor within five (5) days of the date it is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor (i) a late fee equal to the greater of $100 or ten percent (10%) of the delinquent Rent (the “Late Fee”) and (ii) interest on such delinquent Rent at a rate equal to the lesser of the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date that interest begins to accumulate plus four percent (4%) or the highest rate allowed by law from the date that such delinquent Rent was due through the date that such delinquent Rent is actually received by Lessor. Rent shall be prorated for any part of the Term that is a partial month. Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of any Rent due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor under the terms of any Master Lease or any mortgage. The parties hereby agree that the Late Fee represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs incurred by Lessor by reason of the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any Late Fee by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to the overdue amount in question, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

 

4. Utilities; Taxes. Basic utilities are provided to the Building at no extra charge to Lessee, including natural gas, electricity, high- peed wi-fi, alarm monitoring, garbage service, bottled water service, bathroom cleaning and stocking, and water/sewer. Lessee shall pay when due all personal property taxes assessed on Lessee’s personal property. Lessor is responsible for payment of real property taxes on the Property. All subtenants of the Property are expected to keep utility expenses as low as possible. Lessee will only be responsible for any excessive use of utilities, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion. Any charges by Lessor for Lessee’s excessive use of utilities will be due within ten (10) days after notice from Lessor is received by Lessee. Lessee shall deposit all trash in Lessor’s designated trash receptacles for the Building. Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand for the costs of removal from the Premises and the Building of any refuse and rubbish of Lessee in excess of that ordinarily accumulated in a typical Building occupancy. Lessee shall comply with any and all recycling programs required by Law (defined below) or generally imposed on all tenants by Lessor.

 

 

5. Lessee’s Insurance. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure and maintain throughout the Term (a) commercial general liability insurance, insuring both Lessor and Lessee against death and personal injuries to one or more persons and damage to property occurring on the Premises or the Property or in connection with Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises in an amount equal to not less than One Million and 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence, (b) fire, casualty and extended coverage insurance covering all equipment and personal property of Lessee on or about the Premises, insuring Lessee for full insurable value thereof on a replacement cost basis, and (c) worker’s compensation insurance if required by Jaw. Prior to the Commencement Date, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage with Lessor and Master Lessor Property Owner named as additional insureds, which certificate shall contain a provision to the effect that such coverage may not be canceled, materially changed or not renewed without at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee acknowledges Lessor is not responsible for carrying insurance covering Lessee’s property.

 

6. Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee shall secure appropriate clauses in, or endorsements upon, each insurance policy obtained by Lessee which cover or are applicable to the Premises or the personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or permit the insureds, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim they might have against said third party without invalidating the coverage under the insurance policies. Lessee’s waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver of any claim shall extend to Lessor and the Lessor Related Parties (defined below). Lessee releases Lessor and the Lessor Related Parties in respect of any claim which they might otherwise have against them for loss, damage or other casualty occurring during the Term and covered under a fire insurance policy with extended coverage endorsement in the form normally used in respect of similar property in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area.
