HIGHLANDS PARK ASSOCIATES
LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE, made this 15 day of September, 1997, by and between HIGHLANDS
PARK ASSOCIATES, a Georgia general partnership (hereafter called "Landlord"),
and ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Technologies, Inc. (a Wyoming Corporation) (hereinafter called
"Tenant");
WITNESSETH:
PREMISES
1. Landlord, for and in consideration of the rents, covenants,
agreements, and stipulations hereinafter mentioned, provided for and contained
to be paid, kept and performed by Tenant, leases and rents unto Tenant, and
Tenant hereby leases and takes upon the terms and conditions which hereinafter
appear, the following described property (hereinafter called the "Premises"), to
wit:
Approximately 11,840 square feet of rentable space in a multi tenant business
park building,
and being known as ▇▇▇▇-▇ & ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. No
easement for light or air is included in the Premises.
Except as otherwise provided in any Special Stipulations attached to this
Lease, Tenant accepts the Premises in their present condition "AS IS" and as
suited for the purposes intended by Tenant.
TERM
2. Tenant shall have and hold the Premises for a term beginning on the 1
day of November, 1997, and ending on the 31 day of October, 2003, at midnight,
unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.
RENT
3. (a) Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord at the address set forth above,
without demand, deduction or set off, annual rent of $55,056.00 payable in equal
monthly installments of $4,588.00 in advance on the first day of each calendar
month during the term hereof ("Minimum Base Rent"). Upon execution of this
Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the first full month's rent due hereunder.
Monthly Minimum Base Rent for any period during the term hereof which is
for less than one month shall be a pro-rated portion of the monthly installment
due. Tenant shall pay a monthly installment of Minimum Base Rent to Landlord in
the amount provided herein (as such amount may be increased from time to time
pursuant to Section 3(b) below).
(b) Upon each Lease Anniversary (as hereinafter defined) the amount of
each monthly installment of Minimum Base Rent which shall be due from Tenant to
Landlord on such Lease Anniversary and on the first day of each succeeding
calendar month (prior to the next Lease Anniversary) shall increase by three and
one-half percent (3.5%). For purposes of this Section 3, the term "Lease
Anniversary" shall refer to the anniversary during each year of the term of this
Lease of the first day of the calendar month during which the Lease hereunder
commenced.
LATE CHARGES
4. If Landlord fails to receive any monthly installment of Minimum Base
Rent within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as
additional rental, a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue
amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
5. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon execution of this Lease
$9,176.00 as a security deposit which shall be held by Landlord, without
liability to Tenant for any interest thereon, as security for the full and
faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, covenant and condition of
this Lease of Tenant. If any of the rents or other charges or sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord shall be over-due and unpaid or should Landlord make payments
on behalf of Tenant, or should Tenant fail to perform any of the terms of this
Lease, then Landlord may, at its option, appropriate and apply the security
deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward
the payment of Minimum Base Rent, additional rents, charges or other sums due
from Tenant, or towards any loss, damage or expense sustained by Landlord
resulting from such default on the part of Tenant; and in such event Tenant
shall upon demand restore the security deposit to the original sum deposited. In
the event Tenant furnishes Landlord with proof that all utility bills have been
paid through the date of Lease termination, and performs all of Tenant's other
obligations under this Lease, the security deposit shall be returned in full to
Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the expiration or sooner
termination of the term of this Lease and the surrender of the Premises by
Tenant in compliance with the provisions of this Lease.
UTILITY BILLS
6. Tenant shall pay all utility bills, including, but not limited to
water, sewer, gas, electricity, fuel, light and heat bills for the Premises and
Tenant shall pay all charges for garbage collection or other sanitary services.
If water and sewer service for the Premises is provided through a meter which
measures water provided to users in addition to Tenant, Tenant shall pay
2
its pro-rated share of such charges (as such amount shall be determined by
Landlord) together with its monthly installment of Minimum Base Rent. If Tenant
does not pay any of the same, Landlord may pay the same and such payment shall
be added to the rental of the Premises as additional rent which shall become due
and payable at the time the next monthly installment of Minimum Base Rent is due
and payable.
USE OF PREMISES
7. The Premises shall be used for office/warehouse/ and laboratory
research & development purposes only and no other. The Premises shall not be
used for any illegal purposes, nor in any manner to create any nuisance or
trespass, nor in any manner to vitiate the insurance or increase the rate of
insurance on the Premises.
ABANDONMENT OF THE PREMISES
8. Tenant agrees not to abandon or vacate the Premises during the term of
this Lease and agrees to use the Premises for the purposes herein leased until
the expiration hereof.
COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE CHARGE ("CAM")
9. Landlord shall maintain the grounds surrounding the building in which
the Premises are located, including the mowing of grass, care of shrubs and
general landscaping and shall keep the parking areas, driveways and alleys clean
and in good repair (including resealing and restriping from time to time).
Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be responsible for keeping all exterior
areas free of trash, scraps, or any materials and products pertaining to
Tenant's business. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on a monthly basis as
additional rent, Tenant's pro rata share of the costs of illuminating the common
area and of maintaining the same. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of
Tenant's pro rata share of such costs which shall be due from Tenant as
additional monthly rent, as herein provided. After the calendar year in which
the term of this Lease commences, the amount of such monthly payment which shall
be due from Tenant shall not change more frequently than once each calendar
year. This additional rent shall be paid in the same manner as Minimum Base Rent
required in Section 3 herein and any default in such payment shall be treated in
the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder. The amount of the
monthly payment required to be made by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9 during
the calendar year in which the term of this Lease commences is $217. 07.
TAX AND INSURANCE ESCALATION
10. Tenant shall pay upon demand as additional rent during the term of
this Lease, and any extension or renewal thereof, the amount by which all taxes
(including but not limited to, ad valorem taxes, special assessments and any
other governmental charges) on the Premises for each tax year exceed all taxes
on the Premises for the tax year 1997. In the event the Premises are less than
the entire property assessed for such taxes for any such tax year, then the tax
for any such year applicable to the Premises shall be determined by proration on
the basis that the rentable floor area of the Premises bears to the rentable
floor area of the entire property
3
assessed. If the final year of the Lease term fails to coincide with the tax
year, then any excess for the tax year during which the term ends shall be
reduced by the pro rata part of such tax year beyond the Lease term. If such
taxes for the year in which the Lease terminates are not ascertainable before
payment of the last month's installment of Minimum Base Rent and additional rent
then due, then the amount of such taxes assessed against the property for the
previous tax year shall be used as a basis for determining the pro rata share,
if any, to be paid by Tenant for that portion of the last Lease Year. Tenant
shall further pay, upon demand, its pro rata share of the excess cost of fire
and extended coverage insurance including any and all public liability insurance
over the cost for the first year of the Lease term for each subsequent year
during the term of this Lease. Tenant's pro rata portion of increased taxes or
share of excess cost of fire and extended coverage and public liability
insurance, as provided herein, shall be payable within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of notice from Landlord or Agent as to the amount due.
INDEMNITY; INSURANCE
11. Tenant agrees to and hereby does indemnify and save Landlord harmless
against all claims for damages to persons or property by reason of Tenant's use
or occupancy of the Premises, and all expenses incurred by Landlord because
thereof, including attorney's fees and court costs. Supplementing the foregoing
and in addition thereto, Tenant shall during all times of this Lease and any
extension or renewal thereof, and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain in
full force and effect comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of
$500,000 per person and $1,000,000.00 per accident, and property damage limits
of $100,000.00, which insurance shall contain a special endorsement recognizing
and insuring any liability accruing to Tenant under the first sentence of this
paragraph 11, and naming Landlord as additional insured. Tenant shall provide
evidence of such insurance to Landlord prior to the commencement of the term of
this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each hereby release and relieve the other, and
waive their respective rights of recovery, for loss or damage arising out of or
incident to the perils insured against which perils occur in, or about the
Premises, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant or their agents,
employees, contractors and/or invitees, to the extent that such loss or damage
is within the policy limits of said comprehensive general liability insurance.
Landlord and Tenant shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required,
give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual
waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.
REPAIRS BY LANDLORD
12. Landlord agrees to keep in good repair the roof, foundations and
exterior walls of the Premises (exclusive of all glass and exclusive of all
exterior doors) and underground utility and sewer pipes outside the exterior
walls of the building, except repairs rendered necessary by the negligence or
intentional wrongful acts of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees. Tenant
shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to
Tenant which Landlord is required to repair, and failure so to report such
conditions shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred
by Landlord by reasons of such conditions. Landlord shall be under no
obligation to inspect the Premises.
4
REPAIRS BY TENANT
13. Tenant shall, throughout the initial term of this Lease, and any
extension or renewal thereof, at its expense, maintain in good order and repair
the Premises, including heating and air conditioning equipment and all exterior
signage located on the building forming a part of the Premises, except only for
those repairs expressly required to be made by Landlord hereunder. Tenant
agrees to return the Premises to Landlord at the expiration, or prior to
termination of this Lease, in as good condition and repair as when first
received, natural wear and tear, damage by storm, fire, lightning, earthquake or
other casualty alone excepted. Prior to November 1, 1997, Landlord shall supply
Tenant with a letter from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., Heating & Air Contractors, stating
that the existing HVAC systems are in proper working condition.
ALTERATIONS
14. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to
the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall promptly
remove any alterations, improvements constructed in violation of this Section 14
upon Landlord's written request. All approved alterations, additions, and
improvements will be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner, in
conformity with all applicable laws and regulations, and by a contractor
approved by Landlord, free of any liens or encumbrances. Landlord may require
Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements (whether or not made
with Landlord's consent) at the termination of this Lease and to restore the
Premises to its prior condition, all at Tenant's expense. All alterations,
additions and improvements which Landlord has not required Tenant to remove
shall become Landlord's property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the
termination of this Lease, except that Tenant may remove any of Tenant's
machinery or equipment which can be removed without material damage to the
Premises. Tenant shall repair, at Tenant's expense, any damage to the Premises
caused by the removal of any such machinery or equipment.
REMOVAL OF FIXTURES
15. Tenant may (if not in default hereunder) prior to the expiration of
this Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof, remove all fixtures and
equipment which Tenant has placed in the Premises, provided Tenant repairs all
damage to the Premises caused by such removal.
DESTRUCTION OF OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES
16. If the Premises are totally destroyed by storm, fire, lightning,
earthquake or other casualty, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such
destruction and Minimum Base Rent and additional rent owed for CAM, taxes,
insurance and other charges in accordance with this Lease (collectively, "Rent")
shall be accounted for as between Landlord and Tenant as of that date. If the
Premises are damaged but not wholly destroyed by any such casualties, Rent shall
▇▇▇▇▇ in such proportion as use of the Premises has been destroyed and Landlord
shall restore
5
Premises to substantially the same condition as before damage as speedily as is
practicable, whereupon full rental shall recommence.
GOVERNMENTAL ORDERS
17. Tenant agrees, at his own expense, to comply promptly with all
requirements of any legally constituted public authority made necessary by
reason of Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises. Landlord agrees to comply
promptly with any such requirements if not made necessary by reason of Tenant's
use and occupancy. It is mutually agreed, however, between Landlord and Tenant,
that if in order to comply with such requirements, the cost to Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, shall exceed a sum equal to one year's rent, then
Landlord or Tenant, whoever is obligated to comply with such requirements
hereunder, may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to
the other party by registered mail, which termination shall become effective
sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice and which notice shall eliminate
the necessity of compliance with such requirements by the party giving such
notice unless the party receiving such notice of termination shall, before
termination becomes effective, pay to the party giving notice all cost of
compliance in excess of one year's Minimum Base Rent, or secure payment of said
sum in manner satisfactory to the party giving notice.
CONDEMNATION
18. If the whole of the Premises, or such portion thereof as will make the
Premises unusable for the purposes herein leased, are condemned by any legally
constituted authority for any public use or purpose, then in either of said
events, the term hereby granted shall cease from the date when possession
thereof is taken by public authorities, and Rent shall be accounted for as
between Landlord and Tenant as of said date. Such termination, however, shall
be without prejudice to the rights of either Landlord or Tenant to recover
compensation and damage caused by condemnation from the condemnor. Landlord
shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any proceeding with respect to
any taking provided for in this Section 18, without deduction therefrom for any
estate vested in Tenant by this Lease, if any, and Tenant shall receive no part
of such award. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit Tenant from
making a separate claim against the condemning authority, to the extent required
by law, for the value of Tenant's movable trade fixtures, machinery, moving
expenses and loss of business or business interruption, provided that the making
of such claim shall not and does not adversely affect or diminish Landlord's
award. It is further understood and agreed that neither the Tenant nor Landlord
shall have any rights in any award made to the other by any condemnation
authority notwithstanding the termination of the Lease as herein provided.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
19. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
assign this Lease or any interest hereunder (by operation of law or otherwise),
or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by
any party other than Tenant. Consent by Landlord to any assignment or sublease
shall not destroy this provision, and all subsequent assignments or subleases
shall be made likewise only on the prior written consent of Landlord. Assignee
of
6
Tenant, at option of Landlord, shall become directly liable to Landlord for all
obligations of Tenant hereunder.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
20. (a) The occurrence of any of the following events shall be constitute
an "Event of Default" of Tenant under this Lease:
(i) If Tenant fails to pay Minimum Base Rent or any additional
rent hereunder as and when such rent become due and such failure shall continue
for more than fourteen (14) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord
of such failure;
(ii) If Tenant fails to pay Minimum Base Rent or any additional
rent as required by this Lease on time more than four times in any period of
twelve (12) months, notwithstanding that such payments have been made within the
applicable cure period;
(iii) If the Premises become vacant, deserted or abandoned;
(iv) If Tenant permits to be done anything which creates a lien
upon the Premises and fails to discharge, bond such lien or post security with
Landlord acceptable to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant
of written notice thereof;
(v) If Tenant fails to maintain in force all policies of
insurance required by this Lease and such failure shall continue for more than
ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of such failure;
(vi) If any petition is filed by or against Tenant or any
guarantor of this Lease under any present or future section or chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code, or under any similar laws or statute of the United States or
any state thereof (which, in the case of an involuntary proceeding, is not
permanently discharged, dismissed, stayed, or vacated, as the case may be,
within sixty (60) days of commencement), or if any order for relief shall be
entered against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease in any such proceedings;
(vii) If Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease becomes insolvent
or makes a transfer in fraud of creditors or makes an assignment of the benefit
of creditors;
(viii) If a receiver, custodian, or trustee is appointed for the
Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or of any
guarantor of this Lease, which appointment is not vacated within sixty (60) days
following the date of such appointment; or
(ix) If Tenant fails to perform or observe any other term of
this Lease and such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after
the Landlord gives Tenant notice of such failure, or, if such failure cannot be
corrected within such thirty (30) day period, if Tenant does not promptly
commence to correct such default within said thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecute the correction of same to completion within a
reasonable time.
7
(b) Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default,
Landlord may, at Landlord's option, without any demand or notice whatsoever
(except as expressly required in this Section 20):
(i) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of
termination, in which event this Lease shall expire and terminate on the date
specified in such notice of termination and all rights of Tenant under this
Lease and in and to the Premises shall terminate. Tenant shall remain liable
for all obligations under this Lease arising up to the date of such termination,
and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord on the date specified in
such notice; or
(ii) Terminate this Lease as provided in Section 20(b)(i)
hereof and recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reasons of
Tenant's default, including, without limitation, a sum which, at the date of
such termination, represents the value of the excess, if any, of (1) Minimum
Base Rent, additional rent provided for in this Lease and all other sums which
would have been payable hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing with the
day following the date of such termination and ending with the expiration date
had this Lease not been terminated, over (2) the aggregate reasonable rental
value of the Premises for the period commencing with the day following the date
of such termination and ending with the expiration date had this Lease not been
terminated, plus (3) the costs of recovering possession of the Premises and all
other expenses incurred by Landlord due to Tenant's default, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, plus (4) unpaid Minimum Base Rent and
additional rent as provided for in this Lease earned as of the date of
termination plus any interest and late fees due hereunder, plus other sums of
money and damages owing on the date of termination by Tenant to Landlord under
this Lease or in connection with the Premises, all of which excess sums shall be
deemed immediately due and payable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such payments shall
not be deemed a penalty but shall merely constitute payment of liquidated
damages, it being understood and acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that actual
damages to Landlord are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain.
The excess, if any, of subparagraph (ii)(l) over subparagraph (ii)(2) herein
shall be discounted to present value at an annual rate of ten percent (10%). In
determining the aggregate reasonable rental value pursuant to subparagraph
(ii)(2) above, the parties hereby agree that, at the time Landlord seeks to
enforce this remedy, all relevant factors should be considered, including, but
not limited to, (a) the length of time remaining in the Term, (b) the then
current market conditions in the general area in which the Premises are located,
(c) the likelihood of reletting the Premises for a period of time equal to the
remainder of the Term, (d) the net effective rental rates then being obtained by
landlords for similar type space of similar size in similar type buildings in
the general area in which the Premises are located, (e) the vacancy levels in
the general area in which the Building is located, (f) current levels of new
construction that will be completed during the remainder of the Term and how
this construction will likely affect vacancy rates and rental rates and (g)
inflation; or
(iii) Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, in its own
name but as agent for Tenant, enter into and upon and take possession of the
Premises or any part thereof. Any property remaining in the Premises may be
removed and stored in a warehouse or elsewhere
8
at the cost of, and for the account of Tenant without Landlord being deemed
guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be
occasioned thereby. Thereafter, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
lease to a third party the Premises or any portion thereof as the agent of
Tenant upon such term and conditions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable
in order to relet the Premises. The remainder of any rentals received by
Landlord from such reletting, after the payment of any indebtedness due
hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, and the payment of any costs and expenses of
such reletting, shall be held by Landlord to the extent of and for application
in payment of future rent owed by Tenant, if any, as the same may become due and
payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting shall at any
time or from time to time be less than sufficient to pay to Landlord the entire
sums then due from Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to
Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may
at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default
provided same has not been cured; or
(iv) Without terminating this Lease, and with or without notice
to Tenant, Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises and without being
liable for prosecution or any claim for damages thereof, maintain the Premises
and repair or replace any damage thereto or do anything or make any payment for
which Tenant is responsible hereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord incurs in thus effecting
Tenant's compliance under this Lease and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
for any damages with respect thereto; or
(v) Without liability to Tenant or any other party, and
without constituting a constructive or actual eviction, suspend or discontinue
furnishing or rendering to Tenant any property, material, labor utilities or
other service, wherever Landlord is obligated to furnish or render the same, as
long as Tenant is in default under this Lease; or
(vi) With or without terminating this Lease, allow the Premises
to remain unoccupied and collect rent from Tenant as it comes due; or provided
however, Landlord must act in a commercially reasonable manner.
(vii) Pursue such other remedies as are available at law or
equity.
(c) If this Lease shall terminate as a result of or while there
exists an Event of Default hereunder, any funds of Tenant held by Landlord may
be applied by Landlord to any damages payable by Tenant (whether provided for
herein or by law) as a result of such termination or default.
(d) Neither the commencement of any action or proceeding, nor the
settlement thereof, nor entry or judgment thereon shall bar Landlord from
bringing subsequent actions or proceedings from time to time, nor shall the
failure to include in any action or proceeding any sum or sums then due be a bar
to the maintenance of any subsequent actions or proceedings of the recovery of
such sum or sums so omitted.
9
(e) No agreements to accept a surrender of the Premises and no act or
omission by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the Term shall constitute an
acceptance or surrender of the Premises unless made in writing and signed by
Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall
constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written
notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall
be deemed to have been waived by either party unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by the party making such waiver. Landlord's acceptance of Minimum
Base Rent or additional rent in full or in part following an Event of Default
hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default. No
custom or practice which may grow up between the parties in connection with
terms of this Lease shall be construed to waive or lessen either party's right
to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Lease, without a written
notice thereof to the other party.
(f) If an Event of Default shall occur, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
on demand, all expenses incurred by Landlord as a result thereof, including
reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and expenses actually incurred.
(g) Landlord shall not be considered to be under any duty by reason
of any provision herein to take any action to mitigate damages by reason of
Tenant's default. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are to be used for
commercial purposes and Tenant expressly waives the protections and rights set
forth in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Sections 44-7-31 and 44-7-32.
LENDER'S RIGHTS
21. (a) For purposes of this Lease:
(i) "Lender" as used herein means the current holder of a
Mortgage;
(ii) "Mortgage" as used herein means any or all mortgages, deeds
to secure debt, deeds of trusts or other instruments in the nature thereof which
may now or hereafter affect or encumber Landlord's title to the Premises, and
any amendments, modification, extension or renewal thereof.
(b) This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be
subject and subordinate to the lien and security title of any Mortgage.
(c) Tenant shall, in confirmation of the subordination set forth in
subsection (b) immediately above and notwithstanding the fact that such
subordination is self-operative, and no further instrument or subordination
shall be necessary upon demand, at any time or times, execute acknowledge, and
deliver to Landlord or Lender any and all instruments requested by either of
them to evidence such subordination, and to verify the status of this Lease and
the existence of any default by either party hereto.
10
LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY
22. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord and the authorized representatives of
Landlord to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times for the purposes of
inspecting the Premises and Tenant's compliance with this Lease, and making any
necessary repairs thereto or to Landlord's adjoining property; provided that,
except in the case of any emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable prior
written notice of Landlord's intended entry upon the Premises. Landlord may
card the Premises "For Rent" or "For Sale" sixty (60) days before the
termination of this Lease. Landlord also shall have the right to enter the
Premises at all reasonable times to exhibit the Premises to any prospective
purchaser, mortgagee or tenant thereof.
QUIET ENJOYMENT
23. So long as Tenant observes and performs the covenants and agreements
contained herein, it shall at all times during the lease term peacefully and
quietly have and enjoy possession of the Premises, but always subject to the
terms hereof.
NO ESTATE IN LAND
24. This Lease shall create the relationship of Landlord and Tenant
between the parties hereto. No estate shall pass out of Landlord. Tenant has
only a usufruct, not subject to levy and sale, and not assignable by Tenant
except with Landlord's consent.
HOLDING OVER
25. If Tenant remains in possession of Premises after expiration of the
term hereof, with Landlord's acquiescence and without any express agreement of
parties, Tenant shall be a tenant at will at the Minimum Base Rent rate which is
in effect at end of this Lease (subject to applicable annual increases) and
there shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of Law. If Tenant remains
in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the term hereof without
Landlord's acquiescence, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and commencing
on the date following the date of such expiration, the monthly Minimum Base Rent
payable under Section 3 above shall for each month, or fraction thereof during
which Tenant so remains in possession of the premises, be twice the monthly
Minimum Base Rent otherwise payable under Section 3 above. Any payments of
additional rent shall continue to be made in accordance with this Lease
irrespective of Tenant's status as a tenant at will or tenant at sufferance.
LANDLORD LIABILITY
26. No owner of the Premises, whether or not named herein, shall have
liability hereunder after it ceases to hold title to the Premises, except for
obligations which may have theretofore accrued. Neither Landlord nor any
officer, director, shareholder, partner or principal of Landlord, whether
disclosed or undisclosed, shall be under any personal liability with respect to
any of the provisions of this Lease. In the event Landlord is in breach or
default with respect to Landlord's obligations or otherwise under this Lease,
Tenant shall look solely to the equity of
11
Landlord in the office/warehouse development of which the Premises are a part
for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies. It is expressly understood and
agreed that Landlord's liability under the terms, covenants, conditions,
warranties and obligations of this Lease shall in no event exceed the loss of
Landlord's equity interest in the office/warehouse development of which the
Premises are a part.
RELOCATION
27. In the event that the total number of square feet of leasable space
contained within the Premises is less than 6,001 square feet, then upon sixty
(60) days advance written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Tenant agrees to
relocate to other space in the office/warehouse development of which the
Premises are a part designated by Landlord (the "New Space") provided: (i) the
New Space is at least of equal size and similar configuration to the Premises;
(ii) Landlord shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in moving Tenant,
its property and equipment into the New Space; and (iii) Landlord shall, at its
sole cost, renovate or alter the New Space to conform substantially with the
Premises. If Landlord moves Tenant to the New Space, every term and condition
of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and the New Space shall
thereafter be deemed to be the Premises as though Tenant had entered into an
express written amendment to this Lease with respect thereto.
RIGHTS CUMULATIVE; WAIVER OF RIGHTS
28. All rights, powers and privileges conferred upon Landlord herein shall
be cumulative and not restrictive to those given by law. No failure of Landlord
to exercise any power given Landlord hereunder, or to insist upon strict
compliance by Tenant of its obligation hereunder, and no custom or practice of
the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver of
Landlord's right to demand strict compliance with the terms hereof.
AGENCY DISCLOSURE
29. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that KING INDUSTRIAL REALTY,
INC. ("Procuring Agent") has acted as an agent for Tenant and COLLIERS ▇▇▇▇▇▇ &
COMPANY ("Listing Agent") has acted as an agent for Landlord (Procuring Agent
and Listing Agent sometimes hereinafter being referred to collectively as
"Agents") in this transaction. Procuring Agent will be paid a real estate
commission by Landlord in accordance with Section 30 below. Listing Agent will

PROCURING AGENT'S COMMISSION
30. Landlord agrees to pay to Procuring Agent compensation for services
rendered in procuring this Lease, the first month's installment of Minimum Base
Rent hereunder and, in addition thereto, five percent (5%) of all payments of
Minimum Base Rent thereafter paid by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord, with
consent of Tenant, hereby assigns to Procuring Agent the first month's
installment of Minimum Base Rent hereunder and five percent (5%) of all payments
of Minimum Base Rent paid under this Lease. Landlord agrees if this Lease is
extended, or if a new lease is entered into between Landlord and Tenant covering
the Premises, or any part thereof, and provided that Tenant has authorized
Procuring Agent to represent Tenant in connection with the negotiation of such
extension or new lease, then Landlord agrees to pay the Procuring Agent five
percent (5%) of all Minimum Base Rent installments paid to Landlord by Tenant
under such extension or new lease. In no event shall Landlord be liable for the
payment of any compensation to any one or more procuring agents or procuring
brokers in connection with any extension of this Lease or any new lease covering
the Premises in excess of five percent (5%) of the Minimum Base Rent
Installments which shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant under such extension or
new lease. CASH OUT OPTION: The Procuring Agent agrees that, provided Landlord
has paid to Procuring Agent the first month's installment, Landlord at any time
during this Lease may at its sole discretion make a one-time payment to the
Procuring Agent of four percent (4%) of the remaining aggregate Minimum Base
Rent installments accruing to Landlord under this Lease ("cash-out commission")
as full satisfaction of Landlord's obligation to the Procuring Agent under this
Lease; provided, however, that if this Lease is extended, or if a new lease is
entered into between Landlord and Tenant covering the Premises subsequent to the
date as of which the amount of such cash-out commission shall have been
computed, then, Landlord, in consideration of the Procuring Agent having
procured Tenant hereunder, agrees to pay the Procuring Agent two percent (2%) of
the aggregate Minimum Base Rent installments accruing to Landlord under such
extension or new lease. In no event will the cash-out commission be calculated
on Minimum Base Rent accruing to Landlord after Tenant's tenth year of occupancy
of the Premises.
Agents each agree that, in the event Landlord sells the Premises, and upon
Landlord's furnishing Agents with an agreement signed by Purchaser assuming
Landlord's obligations to Agents under this Lease and under Landlord's separate
agreement with the Listing Agent, Agents will release original Landlord from any
further obligations to Agents hereunder. Agents are parties to this Lease
solely for the purpose of enforcing their respective rights under this Section
30 and it is understood by all parties hereto that Listing Agent is acting
solely in the capacity as agent for Landlord, to whom Tenant must look as
regards all covenants, agreements, and warranties herein contained, and
Procuring Agent is acting solely as agent for Tenant in finding the Premises for
Tenant's particular leasing needs, and that Agents shall never be liable to
Tenant in regard to any matter which may arise by virtue of this Lease.
Voluntary cancellation of this Lease shall not nullify Agents' right to collect
the commission due for the remaining term of this Lease. All commission
calculations described herein shall apply to Minimum Base Rent under this Lease
and not to additional rent.

Substances into the sanitary or storm sewer system serving the office/warehouse
development of which the Premises is a part; or (iii) install any underground

harmless from and against any and all expense, loss, and liability suffered by
Landlord (with the exception of those expenses, losses, and liabilities arising
from Landlord's own negligence or willful act), by reason of Tenant's improper
storage, generation, handling, treatment, transportation, disposal, or
arrangement for transportation or disposal, of any Hazardous Substances (whether
accidental, intentional, or negligent) or by reason of Tenant's breach of any of

include, without limitation, (i) any and all expenses that Landlord may incur to
