OFFICE LEASE

 

For valuable consideration, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.PREMISES; DELIVERY
  
1.1Lease of Premises.

 

Landlord leases to Tenant the Premises described in the Basic Lease Terms and shown as Suite 390 on Exhibit ”A” (the “Premises”) subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

 

1.2Delivery of Possession and Commencement.

 

Should Landlord be unable to deliver possession of the Premises on the Anticipated Commencement Date stated in the Basic Lease Terms, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delay in delivering possession. The term of the Lease shall commence on the date the Premises are delivered to Tenant in the condition required under this Lease, which shall be deemed to have occurred when Landlord’s Work (defined below) has been substantially completed (the “Commencement Date”). The Premises shall be delivered to Tenant in “as is” condition and without any representation or warranty subject only to the improvements to be performed by Landlord in accordance with Exhibit ”B” (“Landlord’s Work”). The terms “substantial completion,” “substantially complete,” and words of similar import (whether or not spelled with initial capitals) as used herein shall mean the date of substantial completion of Landlord’s Work such that Tenant may commence the installation of any of Tenant’s equipment and occupy the Premises for the conduct of its business (subject to the completion of any additional construction to be performed by Tenant). Landlord’s Work shall be deemed substantially complete notwithstanding the fact that minor details of construction, mechanical adjustments or decorations which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises remain to be performed (items normally referred to as “punch list” items). The existence of any “punch list” items shall not postpone the Commencement Date. Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall constitute conclusive acceptance of the amount of square footage stated herein, and of the condition of the Premises. The Expiration Date of this Lease shall be the date stated in the Basic Lease Terms. Upon ascertaining the date of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written confirmation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E” (“Lease Confirmation”) of the Commencement Date. The Lease Confirmation shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant objects to the notice in writing delivered to Landlord within five (5) days of Tenant’s receipt of said Lease Confirmation.

 

The rentable areas of the Premises and the Building specified in Section 1.1 are approximate. Tenant is satisfied with Landlord’s measurement of the rentable areas of the Premises and of the Building.

 

1.3Early Access.

 

Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Premises approximately seven (7) days after the mutual execution of this Lease. Such early access to the Premises by Tenant shall be solely for the purpose of installing Tenant’s cabling, furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the Premises and shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises, Tenant provides Landlord with proof that Tenant has the insurance that Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease, (ii) prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises, Tenant provides Landlord with such evidence as reasonably required that Tenant has received all required governmental approvals to enter the Premises, (iii) prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises, Tenant provides Landlord with contractor’s licenses, insurance and bonds for all contractors entering the Premises in connection with any work to be performed on by Tenant in the Premises, and (iv) Landlord shall have the right to terminate or suspend Tenant’s early access at any time that Landlord determines that such early access interferes with the performance of the Landlord’s Work.

 

  1 

 

 

1.4Option to Extend Term.

Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right to extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of three (3) years (such extended period is hereinafter referred to as the “Extended Term”) on the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease, except that (i) Base Rent for an Extended Term shall be as set forth hereinbelow, (ii) no additional options to extend shall apply following the expiration of applicable Extended Term (other than as expressly set forth above), and (iii) Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements to the Premises or contribute any amounts therefor. Written notice of Tenant’s exercise of its option to extend (“Option to Extend”) the Term of this Lease for the Extended Term must be given to Landlord no less than six (6) months prior to the date the Term of the Lease would otherwise expire. If Tenant is in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have no Option to Extend the Term of this Lease until such default is cured within the cure period set forth in this Lease for such default, if any; provided, that the period of time within which said Option to Extend may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise said Option to Extend because of a default. In the event Tenant validly exercises its Option to Extend the Term of this Lease as herein provided, Base Rent shall be adjusted as of the commencement date of the Extended Term as follows (but in no event shall it be less than the Base Rent for the month immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term):

 

(a)       Not later than six (6) months prior to the commencement of an Extended Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s determination of the fair market Base Rent for such Extended Term, including periodic increases as dictated by the current market (“Landlord’s Determination of Base Rent for Extended Term”). Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord as to whether Tenant accepts Landlord’s Determination of Base Rent for Extended Term. In the event Tenant does not agree to Landlord’s Determination of Base Rent for Extended Term, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon Base Rent for the Premises for the Extended Term, such rent to be the fair market Base Rent installment of rent for the Premises for the Extended Term, as defined in Subsection (c) below. If the parties are unable to agree upon the Base Rent for the Extended Term by the date three (3) months prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, then within ten (10) days thereafter each party, at its own cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years full-time commercial real estate appraisal experience in the area in which the Premises are located to appraise and set Base Rent for the Extended Term. If a party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set Base Rent for the Extended Term. If each party shall have so appointed an appraiser, the two (2) appraisers shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Base Rent for the Extended Term. If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications herein stated within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) appraisers are given to set Base Rent. If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on the third appraiser within such ten (10) day period, either of the parties to this Lease, by giving five (5) days’ notice to the other party, may apply to the Arbitration Service of Portland for the selection of a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this Section. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party.

 

(b)       The fair market Base Rent shall be fixed by the appraisers in accordance with the following procedures. Each party-appointed appraiser shall state, in writing, such appraiser’s determination of the fair market Base Rent supported by the reasons therefor and shall make counterpart copies for the other party-appointed appraiser and any neutral appraiser. The party-appointed appraisers shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of their proposed fair market Base Rent determinations. The role of any neutral appraiser shall be to select whichever of the two (2) proposed determinations of fair market Base Rent most closely approximates the neutral appraiser’s own determination of fair market Base Rent. The neutral appraiser shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two (2) proposed determinations of fair market Base Rent. The determination of fair market Base Rent the neutral appraiser chooses as that most closely approximating the neutral appraiser’s determination of the fair market Base Rent shall constitute the decision of the appraisers and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The appraisers shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.

 

  2 

 

 

(c)       For purposes of the appraisal, the term “fair market Base Rent” shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as of the Extended Term commencement date, as a base rent to a ready and willing landlord of premises comparable to the Premises, in terms of size, quality and comparable term, in their then-improved state, in the Portland, Oregon market, if such premises were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time; including any rent increases over the Extended Term. In no event shall there be deducted from such fair market rental the value of any concessions, including without limitation, tenant improvements, commission and/or “down time.”

 

(d)       Any neutral appraiser’s decision shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the submission by the appraisers of their proposals with respect to the fair market Base Rent. The parties have included these time limits in order to expedite the proceeding, but they are not jurisdictional, and the neutral appraiser may for good cause allow reasonable extensions or delays, which shall not affect the validity of the award. Absent fraud, collusion or willful misconduct by the neutral appraiser, the award shall be final, and judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Option to Extend the Lease hereby granted is personal to the entity executing this Lease as tenant and is not transferable; in the event of any assignment or subletting under this Lease, the Option to Extend the Lease shall automatically terminate and shall thereafter be null and void.

 

1.5Right of First Offer.

 

If at any time during the initial Term of the Lease space in Suites 360 or 370 of the Building as shown on Exhibit “D” (collectively and individually, the “First Offer Space”) is available for lease or is about to become available for lease (provided such space shall not be deemed available for lease until it has already been leased to a third party after the date of this Lease or if it is subject to any existing options of existing tenants of the Building) and so long as Tenant is not in default of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the availability of such space and the terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant (the base rent per sq. ft., and the general terms shall be consistent with the then prevailing-market for premises comparable to the Premises, in terms of size, quality and comparable term, in their then-improved state, in the Portland, Oregon market, provided the base rent shall be no lower than that for the initial Premises for the month in which the expansion of the Premises to include the First Offer Space shall occur (the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”). If Tenant timely accepts Landlord’s offer, if, as of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, the Term of the Lease is set to expire less than twenty-four (24) months later, the Term of the Lease with respect to the initial Premises and the First Offer Space shall be extended such that the Term of the Lease expires twenty-four (24) months following the Expansion Space Commencement Date. Tenant shall have five (5) business days to accept Landlord’s offer. If Tenant fails to accept Landlord’s offer within such five (5) business day period, Landlord shall be free to lease such space any time during the term of this Lease free and clear of any rights of Tenant; provided however, once such space has been leased to a third party and thereafter becomes available for lease, the provisions of this Right of First Offer shall then again apply. The right of first offer contained herein shall not apply to any renewal or extension of the term of the Lease and shall be personal to the entity executing this Lease as tenant.

 

2.RENT PAYMENT

 

2.1Base Rent.

 

Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent for the Premises and any additional rent provided herein, without deduction or offset. At the same time as execution of the Lease, Tenant shall pay any prepaid rent stated in the Basic Lease Terms. Rent is payable in advance on the first day of each month commencing on the Commencement Date of this Lease. Tenant shall have a five (5) day grace period from the first day of the month within which to pay the Base Rent and any additional rent. Rent for any partial month during the Lease term shall be prorated to reflect the number of days during the month that Tenant occupies the Premises. Additional rent means amounts determined under Section 20 of this Lease and any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, until paid. Landlord may at its option impose a late charge of the greater of $.05 for each $1 of rent or $50 for rent payments made more than ten (10) days late in lieu of interest for the first month of delinquency. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment and is not a penalty. Neither imposition nor collection nor failure to impose or collect such late charge shall be considered a waiver of any other remedies available for default. In addition to such late charge, an additional charge of $75 shall be recoverable by Landlord for any returned checks.

 

  3 

 

 

2.2Abated Rent and Other Inducement Provisions.

 

As reflected above, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay monthly Base Rent for the first two (2) full months after the Commencement Date (the “Free Rent Period”) resulting in an abatement of monthly Base Rent in the aggregate amount of $11,437.50. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease which results in early termination pursuant to the provisions hereof during such Free Rent Period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such rent abatement after the date of termination nor shall Tenant be entitled to assert any right to rent abatement after such termination against any sums due Landlord. The rent abatement granted under this Section and any other cash and allowance which is granted to Tenant (collectively, “Inducement Provisions”) is solely for the benefit of the entity executing this Lease as tenant and is not transferable to any assignee or subtenant. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease which results in early termination pursuant to the provisions hereof, then as a part of the recovery to which Landlord shall be entitled shall be included a portion of such rent which was abated under the provisions of this Section and the cash and any allowance other all other Inducement Provisions, which portion shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of rent, cash and allowance which was abated or granted under this Lease by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the term of this Lease at the time of such default and the denominator of which is the number of months during the term of this Lease that Tenant is obligated to pay monthly Base Rent. For the avoidance of doubt, during the Free Rent Period Tenant shall be obligated to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of operating expenses and real property taxes.

 

3.SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

Upon execution of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount stated in the Basic Lease Terms as a Security Deposit. Landlord may apply the Security Deposit to pay the cost of performing any obligation which Tenant fails to perform within the time required by this Lease, but such application by Landlord shall not waive Landlord’s other remedies nor be the exclusive remedy for Tenant’s default. If the Security Deposit is applied by Landlord, Tenant shall on demand pay the sum necessary to replenish the Security Deposit to its original amount. In no event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the Security Deposit to any rent or other sums due under this Lease. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the entire Security Deposit to Tenant, within thirty (30) days, except for the portion designated in the Basic Lease Terms, if any, which Landlord shall retain as a non-refundable cleaning fee. If Tenant is in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may retain such portion of the Security Deposit as needed to cure the default and shall promptly return the balance, if any, to Tenant. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant's Security Deposit; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord's acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said Security Deposit. If Landlord sells its interest in the Premises during the term hereof and deposits with or credits to the purchaser the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability or responsibility with respect to the Security Deposit.

 

4.USE

 

4.1Use.

 

Tenant shall use the Premises for Tenant’s Permitted Use stated in the Basic Lease Terms and for no other purpose. In connection with Tenant’s use of the Premises (including, without limitation, any alteration of the Premises), Tenant shall at its expense promptly comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations (“Laws”) and shall not annoy, obstruct, or interfere with the rights of other tenants. Tenant shall not allow any objectionable fumes, noise, light, vibration, radiation, or electromagnetic waves to be emitted from the Premises. If any such sound or vibration is detectable outside of the Premises, Tenant shall provide such insulation as is required to muffle such sound or vibration and render it undetectable at Tenant’s cost. Tenant shall not conduct any activities that will increase Landlord’s insurance rates. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed upon its business operations and all trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, merchandise and other personal property in or about the Premises. Tenant shall not use the Premises for any uses that will cause any increase in insurance rates in the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall any portion of the Premises be used for any marijuana-related business, cannabusiness, or any other business related to controlled substances as defined in the Federal Controlled Substances Act (including, but not limited to, the cultivation, manufacture, processing, accounting, financial transactions, other ancillary services, storage or sale of cannabis or cannabis-related products).

 

  4 

 

 

4.2Equipment.

 

Tenant shall install in the Premises only such equipment as is customary for Tenant’s Permitted Use and shall not overload the floors or electrical circuits of the Premises or Building or alter the plumbing or wiring of the Premises or Building. Landlord must approve in advance the location of and manner of installing any wiring or electrical, heat generating, climate sensitive, or communication equipment or exceptionally heavy articles. All telecommunications equipment, conduit, cables and wiring, additional dedicated circuits, and any additional air conditioning required because of heat generating equipment or special lighting installed by Tenant shall be installed and operated at Tenant’s expense and, at Landlord’s written request shall be removed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost. Tenant shall have no right to install any equipment on or through the roof of the Building, or use or install or store any equipment or other items outside of the interior boundary of the Premises.

 

4.3Signs and Other Installations.

 

No signs, awnings, or other apparatus shall be painted on or attached to the Building or anything placed on any glass or woodwork of the Premises or positioned so as to be visible from outside the Premises, including any window covering (e.g., shades, blinds, curtains, drapes, screens, or tinting materials) without Landlord’s written consent. All signs installed by Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s standards for signs and all applicable codes and all signs and sign hardware shall be removed upon termination of this Lease with the sign location restored to its former state. Any material violating this provision may be removed and disposed by Landlord without compensation to Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of the same upon request. Subject to Landlord’s final approval as to the specific design, location, and size of such signage, Tenant may install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant-branded signage on the door and window of the entry to the Premises. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, place Tenant’s name on the directory of the Building. Notwithstanding the above, and subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of the design, location, and size of such signage, Landlord consents to Tenant placing a neon sign in its third floor window for “Portland Potato” or “Portland Potato Vodka,” as permitted by the city sign code and all other governmental regulations, provided such signage shall not be placed within three (3) feet of the window line.

 

4.4Parking.

 

All parking spaces shall be assigned to tenants and other parties pursuant to a separate written agreement with Landlord. This Lease does not cover any parking spaces or rights to use any parking spaces except as indicated in Section N of the Basic Lease Terms. Except to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors, Landlord shall not be responsible for money, jewelry, automobiles or personal property lost in or stolen from the parking areas regardless of whether such loss or theft occurs when the parking areas are locked or otherwise secured. Without limiting the terms of the preceding sentence, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to persons using the parking areas or automobiles or other property therein, it being agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the use of the parking spaces shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and its employees. If Tenant and Landlord enter into a parking agreement covering parking spaces in the Building, then any default by Tenant under such agreement beyond any applicable cure period shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute an event of default under this Lease. A copy of the separate parking agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit “F.”

5.UTILITIES, SERVICES, SECURITY

 

5.1Utilities and Services.

 

Landlord will furnish water and electricity to the Building at all times and will furnish heat and air conditioning, at building standard levels, during the normal Building hours as established by Landlord. Tenant shall pay for all charges for electricity, natural gas and water furnished to the Premises. If Tenant does not pay any of these charges directly, Tenant shall pay Landlord for such charges and the amount payable by Tenant will be based upon consumption as sub-metered to the Premises by Landlord, or if not sub-metered, upon an equitable allocation made by Landlord, which allocation will be binding absent manifest error. Tenant shall be responsible for paying, as additional rent, the monthly charges allocable to the Premises for the HVAC maintenance contracts entered into by Landlord from time to time. Any additional rent provided for in this Lease shall become due with the next monthly installment of Base Rent unless otherwise provided. Janitorial service for the Building’s common areas will be provided in accordance with the regular schedule of the Building, which schedule may change from time to time. Tenant shall provide Tenant’s own janitorial service for the Premises unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing that Landlord will provide such service to Tenant as part of operating expenses for the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for, and promptly pay when due, any and all charges for utility services used in the Premises and for all other services required for Tenants use of the Premises (including without limitation, all data and telephone services). Tenant shall comply with all government laws or regulations regarding the use or reduction of use of utilities on the Premises. Interruption of services or utilities shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall take all reasonable steps to correct any interruptions in service caused by defects in utility systems within Landlord’s reasonable control. Tenant shall provide its own surge protection for power furnished to the Premises. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and the utility service providers at all times as reasonably necessary, and shall allow Landlord and utility service providers, reasonable access to the pipes, lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises. Tenant shall not contract or engage any other utility provider without prior written approval of Landlord.

 

5.2Data and Information Sharing for Environmental Management and Extra Usage.

 

Tenant shall be required to furnish to Landlord energy and water consumption data for all energy and water types used on the Premises for which utility accounts or consumption meters are owned by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant agree to provide all reasonable and accurate information that may be required to pursue green building certification of the Premises. If Tenant does not pay for utilities directly and Tenant uses excessive amounts of utilities because of operation outside of ordinary business hours of Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday 8:00 am to Noon (“Ordinary Building Hours”), high demands from office machinery and equipment, nonstandard lighting, or any other cause, Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for supplying such extra utilities, which charge shall be payable monthly by Tenant in conjunction with rent payments. Landlord reserves the right to install separate meters for any such utility and to charge Tenant for the cost of such installation.

 

5.3Security Measures for the Premises.

 

Landlord may (but shall have no obligation) adopt security measures regarding the Premises, and Tenant shall cooperate with all such security measures. Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, modify the type or amount of security measures provided at any time without notice.

 

  6 

 

 

Tenant may not install alarm boxes, foil protection tape, or other security equipment on the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, install a supplemental security system within the Premises (such as a card-key system) with Landlord’s written consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that such consent may be conditioned on, among other things, that: (i) the plans and specifications for any such system shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, (ii) any such system must be compatible with any existing systems of the Building, (iii) Tenant's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless shall also apply to Tenant's use and operation of any such system, (iv) the installation of such system shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6 below (and Exhibit “B”, if installed as a part of the Tenant improvements), and (v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall remove such system upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair all damage caused by such removal. Tenant shall at all times provide Landlord with a contact person who can disarm the security/surveillance system and who is familiar with the functions of such system in the event of a malfunction, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the alarm codes or other necessary information required to disarm such system in the event Landlord must enter the Premises in an emergency and Landlord shall not have any liability for accidentally setting off Tenant’s security system. The determination of the extent to which such supplemental security equipment, systems and procedures are reasonably required shall be made in the sole judgment, and shall be the responsibility of, the Tenant.

 

5.4Fiber Optic.

 

Tenant shall have the right to select an alternative telecom provider for its data and telecom connectivity in the Building; provided that (i) such telecom provider enters into a license agreement with the Landlord which license agreement shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, (ii) Tenant assumes all costs and expenses related to the license agreement, including, without limitation, the costs of installation of fiber and electrical feeds, including chases and conduits in the risers in the Building (collectively, the “Cabling”), and (iii) the telecom provider’s use will not interfere with or adversely impact the Building or the use or occupancy of office space leased by any tenant of the Building. Together with Tenant's request for a new telecom provider, Tenant shall submit to Landlord evidence acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion that the installation of the Cabling by the telecom provider is in compliance with all applicable laws and will not impede the operation of the Building or its systems in any material respect and if so as to the latter, that Tenant will be responsible to correct and remediate such impediment at it sole cost and expense as a condition precedent to such approval by Landlord. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not commence or allow the telecom provider to commence any installation or operation of the Cabling until the proposed location of and specifications for the Cabling have been approved in writing by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to design, install, construct, use, operate, maintain, repair, replace or remove the Cabling or to have any other responsibility or liability in connection therewith or the operations thereof. The use of the Cabling and all areas outside the Premises shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Lease as if within the Premises, including, without limitation, insurance and indemnification obligations in this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Tenant or others because of any interruption in or failure of utilities, including electrical power, to the Cabling. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall accept the areas in which Tenant installs its Cabling and piping in their “As Is” condition. Landlord makes no representation respecting the condition of these areas or their suitability for operation and installation of the Cabling.

6.1.3Landlord shall have no liability for failure to perform required maintenance and repair unless written notice is given by Tenant and Landlord fails to commence efforts to remedy the problem within a reasonable time and diligently pursue such remedy to completion. Landlord shall have the right to erect scaffolding and other apparatus necessary for the purpose of making repairs or alterations to the Building, and Landlord shall have no liability for interference with Tenant’s use because of such work. Work may be done during normal business hours. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any interruption of services or interference with Tenant’s occupancy caused by Landlord’s maintenance and repair or any claim of constructive or other eviction of Tenant.

 

6.1.4Landlord’s cost of repair and maintenance shall be considered “operating expenses” for the purposes of Section 20, except that repair of damage caused by negligent or intentional acts or breach of this Lease by Tenant, its contractors, agents or invitees shall be at Tenant’s expense.

 

Landlord represents and warrants that the plumbing, mechanical, electrical, safety, HVAC, and other systems serving the Premises shall be in good working order on the Commencement Date.

 

6.2Alterations.

 

6.2.1Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises that affect the structure of the Building or any Building system (electrical, plumbing, mechanical or life safety), or install any wall or floor covering without Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. With respect to any other alteration requested by Tenant, Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant’s alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract with a contractor approved by Landlord for the construction of such alterations (which contractor shall comply with the insurance provisions set forth in this Lease), shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such alterations with due diligence in compliance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord and in a good and workmanlike manner. All such construction shall be performed in a manner which will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of other tenants of the Building. Any such alterations, wiring, cables, or conduit installed by Tenant shall at once become part of the Premises and belong to Landlord except for removable machinery and unattached movable trade fixtures. Landlord may at its option require that Tenant remove any alterations, wiring, cables or conduit installed by or for Tenant and restore the Premises to the original condition upon termination of this Lease. If Tenant seeks Landlord’s consent to perform an alteration, then at the time Landlord provides its approval of same, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to whether Landlord will require Tenant to remove such alteration upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant makes an alteration without asking Landlord whether Landlord will require such alteration to be removed at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may at its option, require that Tenant remove such alterations and repair any damage in connection therewith. Landlord shall have the right to post notices of nonresponsibility in connection with work being performed by Tenant in the Premises. Work by Tenant shall comply with all laws then applicable to the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any liens to attach to the Building or Tenant’s interest in the Premises as a result of its activities or any alterations. Landlord may perform alterations to or change the configuration of the Building and common areas. At the conclusion of any alteration, (A) Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built drawings of such alterations, and (B) certify that the “record-set” of as-built drawings are true and correct, which certification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

  8 

 

 

6.2.2Throughout the term of the Lease and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18 below, Landlord shall have a continuing right (but shall not be obligated) to make alterations and/or improvements to the common areas and any other portions of the Building for any purposes that Landlord deems necessary, in its reasonable business judgment, including, without limitation, alterations or improvements that will affect the operation, design, use or aesthetic of the Building. Landlord is authorized to prioritize sustainability requirements over minimizing upfront costs of property improvements. Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to complete all such alterations and improvements so as to minimize, to the extent feasible, disturbance to Tenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to grant such easements, rights and dedications as Landlord deems necessary or desirable and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Premises and Building, as long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and covenants, conditions and restrictions do not materially and adversely interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall join in the execution of any of the aforementioned documents.

 

7.INDEMNITY, INSURANCE

 

7.1Indemnity.

 

Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and its managing agents and employees from any claim, liability, damage, or loss occurring in, on, or about the Premises, or any cost or expense in connection therewith (including attorney fees), arising out of (a) any damage to any person or property occurring in, on, or about the Premises, (b) use by Tenant or its agents, invitees or contractors of the Premises and/or the Building, and/or (c) Tenant’s breach or violation of any term of this Lease. This indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Landlord for any claim, damage or loss caused in whole or in part by the intentional or grossly negligent acts of Landlord, its employees or agents or by other tenants in the building.

 

7.2Insurance.

 

Tenant shall carry liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit bodily injury and property damage which insurance shall have an endorsement naming Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent and lender, if any, and any other entity reasonably required by Landlord, as an additional insured, cover the liability insured under Section 7 of this Lease and be in form and with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance and not “excess over” or contributory with any other valid, existing and applicable insurance in force for or on behalf of Landlord. The policy shall not eliminate cross-liability and shall contain a severability of interest clause. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain on all of its personal property, tenant improvements (whether constructed by Landlord or Tenant), in, on, or about the Premises, a policy of “Broad Form” insurance, to the extent of at least full replacement value without any deduction for depreciation. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time. Not more frequently than once each year, if, in the opinion of Landlord’s lender or of the insurance consultant, the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, Tenant shall increase the insurance coverage as required by either Landlord’s lender or Landlord’s insurance consultant. Prior to occupancy, Tenant shall furnish a certificate evidencing such insurance which shall state that the coverage shall not be canceled or materially changed without thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, if any. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a renewal certificate at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any policy.

 

Tenant shall also maintain workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located with employer’s liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and business income and extra expense insurance with limits not less than one hundred percent (100%) of all income and charges payable by Tenant under this Lease for a period of twelve (12) months.

Should Tenant engage the services of any contractor to perform work in the Premises, Tenant shall ensure that such contractor carries commercial general liability, business automobile liability, umbrella/excess liability (following form), worker’s compensation and employers’ liability coverages in substantially the same amounts as are required of Tenant under this Lease. Contractor shall include Landlord, its trustees, officers, directors, members, agents and employees, Landlord’s mortgagees and Landlord’s representatives as additional insureds on the liability policies required hereunder. All policies required to be carried by any contractor shall be issued by and binding upon an insurance company licensed or authorized to do business in the state in which the Building is located with a rating of at least “A-: X” or better as set forth in the most current issue of Best’s Insurance Reports, unless otherwise approved by Landlord. Certificates of insurance, acceptable to Landlord, evidencing the existence and amount of each insurance policy required hereunder shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises. Further, each policy will contain provisions giving Landlord and each of the other additional insureds with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any cancelation, non-renewal or material change in coverage. The above requirements shall apply equally to any subcontractor engaged by contractor.

 

8.DAMAGE, WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

 

8.1Fire or Casualty.

 

“Major Damage” means damage by fire or other casualty to the Building or the Premises which causes the Premises or any substantial portion of the Building to be unusable, or which will cost more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the pre-damage value of the Building to repair, or which is not covered by insurance. In case of Major Damage, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such date. If this Lease is not terminated following Major Damage, or if damage occurs which is not Major Damage, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the condition existing just prior to the damage. Tenant shall promptly restore all damage to tenant improvements or alterations installed or paid for by Tenant or pay the cost of such restoration to Landlord if Landlord elects to do the restoration of such improvements. Unless the casualty was caused by Tenant, rent shall be reduced from the date of damage until the date restoration work being performed by Landlord is substantially complete, with the reduction to be in proportion to the area of the Premises not usable by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Major Damage, Landlord, within thirty (30) days of the date of such damage, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord with a written estimate of the amount of time required, using standard working methods, to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and any common areas necessary to provide access to the Premises (“Completion Estimate”). Landlord shall promptly forward a copy of the Completion Estimate to Tenant. If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any common areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date the repair is started (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums), then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s delivery of the Completion Estimate; provided, however, if the Lease is not terminated under this Section and Landlord reasonably believes at any time during the performance of the repairs that the repairs will not be completed within thirty (30) days of the estimated completion date set forth the Completion Estimate, Landlord shall notify Tenant, and either party may terminate this Lease within ten (10) days of the date of Landlord’s notice.

 

8.2Waiver of Subrogation.

 

Tenant shall be responsible for insuring its personal property and trade fixtures located on the Premises and any alterations or tenant improvements it has made to the Premises. Neither Landlord, its managing agent nor Tenant shall be liable to the other for any loss or damage caused by any of the risks that are covered by property insurance or could be covered by a customary broad form of property insurance policy, or for any business interruption, and there shall be no subrogated claim by one party’s insurance carrier against the other party arising out of any such loss. Subject to the other provisions of this Lease, if damage is caused by a risk that is not covered by property insurance or could be covered by a customary broad form of property insurance policy and such damages is caused by the other party or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude a party from making a claim against the other with respect to such damages.

9.EMINENT DOMAIN

If a condemning authority takes title by eminent domain or by agreement in lieu thereof a portion sufficient to render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s use, then either party may elect to terminate this Lease effective on the date that possession is taken by the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, then rent shall be reduced for the remainder of the term in an amount proportionate to the reduction in area of the Premises caused by the taking. All condemnation proceeds (except those specifically allocated to Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, and equipment, if any) shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for theses condemnation proceeds because of the taking. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Tenant from separately seeking and retaining condemnation proceeds from the condemning authority that are available for tenants, including but not limited to relocation costs.

 

10.ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest under this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s consent in writing. This provision shall apply to all transfers by operation of law, and to all mergers and changes in control of Tenant, all of which shall be deemed assignments for the purposes of this Section. Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed agreements between Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant. Tenant shall provide Landlord with (1) any additional information or documents reasonably requested by Landlord, within ten (10) days after receiving Tenant’s notice, and (2) an opportunity to meet and interview the proposed assignee or subtenant, if requested. No assignment shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent or perform other obligations required by this Lease, and no consent to one assignment or subletting shall be a consent to any further assignment or subletting. If Tenant proposes a subletting for which Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord shall have the option of terminating this Lease and dealing directly with the proposed subtenant . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may at its sole discretion withhold consent to the subletting of the Premises to an existing occupant of the Building, to any prospective tenant with which the Landlord or Landlord’s agents have negotiated within the previous six (6) months, where the prospective tenant is a government entity or a labor union, or where any sublease will require any changes to any building systems. Tenant shall not advertise at a rate which is less than the Building’s listed rate. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or subletting provided the proposed Tenant is compatible with Landlord’s normal standards for the Building. If an assignment or subletting is permitted, fifty percent (50%) of any net profit, or net value of any other consideration received by Tenant as a result of such transaction shall be paid to Landlord promptly following its receipt by Tenant. Tenant shall pay any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with a request for assignment or subletting, including reasonable attorney fees, not to exceed $750.

With or without termination, Landlord may retake possession of the Premises (using self-help or otherwise) and may use or relet the Premises without accepting a surrender or waiving the right to damages. Following such retaking of possession, efforts by Landlord to relet the Premises shall be sufficient if Landlord follows its usual procedures for finding tenants for the space at rates not less than the current rates for other comparable space in the Building. If Landlord has other comparable vacant space in the Building, prospective tenants may be placed in such other space without prejudice to Landlord’s claim to damages or loss of rentals from Tenant.

 

11.2.2Landlord may recover all damages caused by Tenant’s default which shall include an amount equal to rentals lost because of the default, amortized Lease commissions paid for this Lease, and the amortized cost of any tenant improvements installed by or paid for by Landlord. Landlord may ▇▇▇ periodically to recover damages as they occur throughout the Lease term, and no action for accrued damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing. Landlord may elect in any one action to recover accrued damages plus damages attributable to the remaining term of the Lease. Such damages shall be measured by the difference between the rent under this Lease and the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the term, discounted to the time of judgment at the prevailing interest rate on judgments.

 

11.3Landlord’s Right To Cure Default.

 

Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any payment or perform any obligation which Tenant has failed to perform under this Lease. All of Landlord’s expenditures shall be reimbursed by Tenant upon demand with interest from the date of expenditure at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. Landlord’s right to correct Tenant’s failure to perform is for the sole protection of Landlord and the existence of this right shall not release Tenant from the obligation to perform all of the covenants herein required to be performed by Tenant, or deprive Landlord of any other right which Landlord may have by reason of default of this Lease by Tenant, whether or not Landlord exercises its right under this Section.

Failure to remove shall be an abandonment of the property, and, following ten (10) days’ written notice, Landlord may remove or dispose of it in any manner without liability, and recover the cost of removal and other damages from Tenant. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises when required, including failure to remove all its personal property, Landlord may elect either: (i) to treat Tenant as a tenant from month to month, subject to the provisions of this Lease except that rent shall be one-and-one-quarter times the total rent being charged when the Lease term expired, and any option or other rights regarding extension of the term or expansion of the Premises shall no longer apply; and/or (ii) to eject Tenant from the Premises (using self-help or otherwise) and recover all damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages) caused by wrongful holdover.

If a separate assessment or identifiable tax increase arises because of improvements to the Premises, then Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of such increase.

 

As used herein, “operating expenses” shall mean all costs of operating, maintaining, managing, replacing and repairing the Building as determined by standard real estate accounting practice, including, but not limited to: all water and sewer charges not separately metered and paid by tenants; the cost of natural gas and electricity provided to the Building not separately metered and paid by tenants; janitorial and cleaning supplies and services for the common areas of the Building; administration costs, management fees not to exceeds five percent of gross revenues for the Building; superintendent fees; security services, if any; insurance premiums; licenses, permits for the operation and maintenance of the Building and all of its component elements and mechanical systems; ordinary and emergency repairs and maintenance, and the annual amortized capital improvement cost (amortized over the useful life of the improvement for any capital improvements to the Building. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord makes an expenditure for a capital improvement to the Building (or any portion thereof) by installing energy-, water-, or labor-saving devices to reduce operating expenses or to comply with any law, rule, regulation or other legal requirement or Green Agency Rating pertaining to the Building, and if, under generally accepted accounting principles, such expenditure is not a current expense, then the cost thereof shall be amortized over a period equal to the useful life of such improvement, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the amortized costs allocated to each calendar year during the term, together with an imputed interest amount calculated on the unamortized portion thereof using an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, shall be treated as an operating expense (a “Permitted Capital Expenditure”). In the event the average occupancy level of the Building for any calendar year was or is not one hundred percent (100%) of full occupancy, then the estimated and actual operating expenses for such year shall be proportionately adjusted by Landlord to reflect those costs which have occurred had the Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied during such year. Operating Expenses do not include the cost of tenant improvements. Operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes and insurance premiums, shall not increase by more than five percent (5%) annually. In no event shall Tenant be required to pay Controllable Expenses in excess of the Controllable Expense Cap. As used herein “Controllable Expenses” are those Operating Expenses for which Landlord has exclusive control over the amount of increase over such Operating Expenses, and in no event shall Controllable Expenses include insurance premiums and deductibles, utility charges, Real Property Taxes, or Non-Recurring Costs (as defined below). As used herein, the Controllable Expense Cap shall be an amount equal to the amount of the Controllable Expenses for the Building during the calendar year 2017, which cap amount shall be annually increased by five percent (5%) on each January 1st thereafter. “Non-Recurring Costs” shall mean Operating Expenses that are not customarily incurred and budgeted monthly for by owners of comparable projects in the Portland, Oregon area, or are materially in excess of such customary and budgeted monthly costs, such as costs incurred due to unusual weather (i.e. snow and ice removal, wind damage, excessive ground water), labor trouble, shortages in supplies, utility shortages or black-outs and costs that may arise in connection with a force majeure event or costs that do not occur annually.

20.2Disputes.

If Tenant disputes any computation of operating expenses in Section 20, it shall give notice to Landlord not later than sixty (60) days after the notice from Landlord describing the computation in question. If Tenant fails to give such a notice, the computation by Landlord shall be binding and conclusive between the parties for the period in question. If Tenant gives a timely notice, the dispute shall be resolved by an independent CPA selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant in Tenant’s reasonable discretion, whose decision shall be conclusive between the parties. Each party shall pay one-half of the fee of such CPA for making such determination except that if the adjustment in favor of Tenant does not exceed five percent (5%) of the escalation amounts for the year in question, Tenant shall pay (i) the entire cost of any such third-party determination; and if the decision of the CPA in favor of the Tenant exceeds seven percent (7%) of the amount for the year in question, Landlord shall pay the entire cost of the CPA. If the adjustment in favor of Tenant is between five percent (5%) and seven percent (7%), each party shall pay one-half of the fee of the CPA. The CPA shall not be paid on a contingency-fee basis. Landlord shall promptly credit any sums found owing to Tenant, and if the Lease has expired or been terminated, Landlord shall promptly refund such sums to Tenant. Nothing herein shall reduce Tenant’s obligations to make all payments as required by this Lease. In no event shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant based on its calculation of additional rent or rent adjustments except and only the obligation to cause any correction to be made pursuant to this Section 20.2. Tenant shall maintain as strictly confidential the existence and resolution of any dispute regarding rent charges hereunder.
