Common Areas and shall have the right, from time to time, to
establish, modify, amend, and enforce reasonable Rules and
Regulations
-2-
with respect thereto in accordance with
Paragraph 16.19. Tenant shall not be required to comply with
any new rule or regulation unless the same applies
non-discriminatorily to all occupants of the Industrial Center,
does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the
Premises or Tenant’s parking rights, and does not materially
increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under the
Lease.
2.5 Common Area Changes . Landlord shall have the
right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, from time to time:
(a) To make changes to the Common Areas, including, without
limitation, changes in the locations, size, shape, and number of
driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and
unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped
areas, walkways, and utility raceways;
(b) To close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance
purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains
available;
(c) To designate other land outside the boundaries of the
Industrial Center to be a part of the Common Areas;
(d) To add additional buildings and improvements to the Common
Areas;
(e) To use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional
improvements, repairs, or alterations to the Industrial Center, or
any portion thereof; and
(f) To do and perform such other acts and make such other
changes in, to, or with respect to the Common Areas and Industrial
Center as Landlord may, in the exercise of sound business judgment,
deem to be appropriate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not do any of the
foregoing to the extent the same would unreasonably interfere with
Tenant’s use of the Premises, or materially increase the
obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under the Lease. In
taking such actions, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to limit disruption to Tenant without incurring overtime
expense.
2.6 Parking . At no additional cost, Tenant may
use twelve (12) of the undesignated vehicle parking spaces, on
an unreserved and unassigned basis, on those portions of the Common
Areas designated by Landlord for such parking. Landlord shall
exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that such spaces are
available to Tenant for its use, but Landlord shall not be required
to enforce Tenant’s right to use the same. Tenant shall not
use more parking spaces than such number. Such parking spaces shall
be used only for parking by vehicles no larger than full sized
passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks and in no event shall
Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives park or permit any
parking of vehicles overnight. Tenant shall not permit or allow any
vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or
Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or
invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those
designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or
allows any of the prohibited activities described herein, then
Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such
other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away
the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost
shall be immediately payable as additional rent upon demand by
Landlord. Landlord may change the number of parking spaces and
configuration of the parking areas at any time, and may assign
reserved parking spaces to any tenant, in Landlord’s sole
discretion, so long as doing so does not materially interfere with
Tenant’s parking rights hereunder.

Landlord’s prior consent, but upon notice to Landlord and in
compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and
customary materials reasonably required to be used by Tenant in the
normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a
Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring
properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage, or
expose Landlord to any liability therefor. In addition, Landlord
may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to
any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by Tenant upon
Tenant’s giving Landlord such additional assurances as
Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect
itself, the public, the Premises, and the environment against
damage, contamination, injury, and/or liability therefor, including
but not limited to the installation (and, at Landlord’s

termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to
the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of
an additional Security Deposit.

liable for and otherwise obligated to Landlord under the provisions
of this Lease for all liabilities, costs, damages, penalties,
claims, judgments, expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs) and losses to

permits persons over which Tenant or any Tenant Entity has control
and/or for which Tenant or any Tenant Entity are legally
responsible for, to cause such Hazardous Substances to be present
in, on, under, through or about any portion of the Premises, the
Building or the Industrial Center, or does not take all reasonably
appropriate actions to prevent such persons over which Tenant or
any Tenant Entity has control and/or for which Tenant or any Tenant
Entity are legally responsible for causing the presence of
Hazardous Substances in, on, under, through or about any portion of
the Premises, the Building or the Industrial Center.

failure by Tenant or the Premises to comply with any Applicable
Requirements. Regardless of the foregoing, if any capital
improvements are required to be made to Premises because of a
change in Applicable Requirements following the Commencement Date
or because of the adoption of new Applicable Requirements following
the Commencement Date, Landlord shall perform such alteration
unless the alterations are required because of
(a) Tenant’s unique and specific use of the Premises as
opposed to general warehouse, storage, administration and office
use, (b) alterations performed by or on behalf of Tenant, or
(c) Tenant’s default under this Lease; in which case
Tenant shall be responsible for performing such alterations.

paid by the party requesting same unless a violation of Applicable
Requirements by Tenant or Tenant Entities exists or is imminent, or
the inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority
in connection with Tenant’s use of Hazardous Substances, in
which case Tenant shall upon request reimburse Landlord or
Landlord’s Lender, as the case may be, for the costs and
expenses of such inspections.

may require, it being understood and agreed that all of such
Alterations shall be insured by Tenant in accordance with the terms
of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. Tenant shall
keep the Premises and the property on which the Premises are
situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of
Tenant. Tenant shall, prior to construction of any and all
Alterations, cause its contractor(s) and/or major subcontractor(s)
to provide insurance as reasonably required by Landlord, and Tenant
shall provide such assurances to Landlord, including without
limitation, waivers of lien, as Landlord shall reasonably require
to protect Landlord and the Industrial Center from and against any
loss from any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens.
If the estimated cost of the work by Tenant shall exceed $150,000,
Landlord may also require surety company performance and/or payment
bonds to assure payment of the costs thereof.
7.4 Surrender/Restoration . Tenant shall surrender
the Premises by the end of the last day of the Lease term or any
earlier termination date, clean and free of debris and in good
operating order, condition, and state of repair, ordinary wear and
tear, and damage from casualty (that is not the Tenant’s
responsibility to restore under Section 9.2), excepted, and in
accordance with the Move Out Standards set forth in
Exhibit D to this Lease. Without limiting the
generality of the above, Tenant shall remove all tenant
improvements designated by Landlord in Landlord’s sole
discretion (other than the Tenant Improvements), personal property,
trade fixtures, and floor bolts, patch all floors, and cause all
lights to be in good operating condition.
If Tenant requests, in writing, at the time Tenant requests
permission to perform Alterations, whether Landlord will require
the removal of the same upon expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord
shall indicate in writing at the time of granting any consent,
which Alterations or part thereof shall be removed by Tenant at the
end of the Term upon Expiration or termination of this Lease and
any failure to do so shall be deemed that Landlord requires Tenant
to remove such Alterations upon surrender of the Premises by
Expiration or termination of this Lease.
8. Insurance; Indemnity .
8.1 Payment of Premiums and Deductibles . The cost of the
premiums and all applicable deductibles for the insurance policies
maintained by Landlord under this Paragraph 8 shall be a
Common Area Operating Expense reimbursable pursuant to
Paragraph 4.2 hereof. Premiums for policy periods commencing
prior to, or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be
prorated to coincide with the corresponding Commencement Date and
Expiration Date.

such amounts and covering such other liability or hazards as deemed
appropriate by Landlord. The amount and scope of coverage of

right to reduce or terminate any such insurance or coverage except
as required above.
8.4 Waiver of Subrogation . Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, to the extent permitted by law, Landlord
and Tenant each waive any right to recover against the other on

realized from such insurance coverage or which could be realized
from such insurance coverage.

gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or

protect, defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and Landlord Entities
harmless from and against any and all loss, claims, liability, or
costs (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) incurred by
reason of:
(a) any damage to any property (including but not limited to
property of any Landlord Entity) or death, bodily, or personal
injury to any person occurring in or about the Premises, the
Building, or the Industrial Center to the extent that such injury
or damage shall be caused by or arise from any actual or alleged
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants,

visitors or a breach of this Lease by Tenant;
(b) the conduct or management of any work or anything whatsoever
done by the Tenant on or about the Premises or from transactions of
the Tenant concerning the Premises;

to this Lease.

with respect to any claims or liability accruing prior to such
termination, survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of
this Lease.

. Except to the extent caused by the gross active or gross
passive negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents
or contractors or breach of this Lease by Landlord, neither
Landlord nor Landlord Entities shall be liable for and Tenant
waives any claims against Landlord and Landlord Entities for injury
or damage to the person or the property of Tenant, Tenant’s
employees, contractors invitees customers or any other person in or
about the Premises, Building or Industrial Center from any cause
whatsoever including, but not limited to, damage or injury which is

defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing
heating, ventilating, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or
(ii) from the condition of the Premises, other portions of the
Building or Industrial Center. Landlord shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act or neglect (passive or active) of any
other tenants of Landlord or any subtenant or assignee of such
other tenants nor from the failure by Landlord to enforce the
provisions of any other lease in the Industrial Center.
Notwithstanding Landlord’s negligence (active or passive),
gross negligence (active or passive), or breach of this Lease,
Landlord shall under no circumstances be liable for (a) injury
to Tenant’s business, for any loss of income or profit
therefrom or any indirect, consequential or punitive damages or
(b) any damage to property or injury to persons arising from
any act of God or war, violence or insurrection, including, but not
limited to, those caused by earthquakes, hurricanes, storms,
drought floods acts of terrorism, and/or riots.
9. Damage or Destruction .
9.1 Termination Right . Tenant shall give
Landlord immediate written notice of any damage to the Premises
upon discovery thereof. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 9.2, if the Premises or the Building shall be
damaged to such an extent that there is or will be substantial
interference for a period exceeding one hundred eighty
(180) consecutive days with the conduct by Tenant of its
business at the Premises, then either party, at any time prior to
commencement of repair of the Premises may terminate this Lease
effective thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice to
the other party. Further, if any portion of the Premises is damaged
and is not fully covered by the aggregate of insurance proceeds
received by Landlord and any applicable deductible or if the holder
of any indebtedness secured by the Premises requires that the
insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, and Tenant does
not voluntarily contribute any shortfall thereof to Landlord, then
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering
written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after the date of notice to Tenant of any such
event. Such termination shall not excuse the performance by Tenant
of those covenants which under the terms hereof survive
termination. Rent shall be abated in proportion to the degree of
interference during the period that there is such substantial
interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business at the
Premises. Abatement of rent and Tenant’s right of termination
pursuant to this provision shall be Tenant’s sole remedy with
respect to any such damage regardless of the cause thereof. If the
Lease is not terminated following damage due to a casualty as
provided herein Landlord shall restore the Premises to
substantially the same condition in which they existed immediately
prior to the casualty subject to applicable laws.
9.2 Damage Caused by Tenant . Tenant’s
termination rights under Paragraph 9.1 shall not apply if the
damage to the Premises or Building is the result of any negligent
act or omission of Tenant or of any of Tenant’s agents
employees, customers, invitees, or contractors ("Tenant Acts"). Any
damage resulting from a Tenant Act that is not covered by insurance
maintained or required to be maintained hereunder shall be promptly
repaired by Tenant. Landlord at its option may at Tenant’s
expense repair any such damage caused by Tenant Acts as referred to
in the immediately preceding sentence. Tenant shall continue to pay
all rent and other sums due hereunder and shall be liable to
Landlord for all damages that Landlord may sustain resulting from a
Tenant Act to the extent the same are not actually reimbursed by
insurance and would not have been reimbursed by insurance required
to be maintained by Landlord under this Lease.
10. Real Property Taxes .
10.1 Payment of Real Property Taxes
. Landlord shall pay the Real Property Taxes due and payable
during the term of this Lease and, except as otherwise provided in
Paragraph 10.3, such payments shall be a Common Area Operating
Expense reimbursable pursuant to Paragraph 4.2.
10.2 Real Property Tax Definition . As used
herein, the term "Real Property Taxes" is any form of tax or
assessment, general, special, ordinary, or extraordinary, imposed
or levied upon (a) the Industrial Center or Building,
(b) any interest of Landlord in the Industrial Center or
Building, and/or (c) Landlord’s right to rent or other
income from the Industrial Center or Building. Real Property Taxes
include (a) any license fee, commercial rental tax, excise
tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy, or tax; (b) any tax or
charge which replaces or is in addition to any of such
above-described "Real Property Taxes," and (c) any fees,
expenses, or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
expert fees, and the like) incurred by Landlord in protesting or
contesting any assessments levied or any tax rate. Real Property
Taxes for tax years commencing prior to, or extending beyond, the
term of this Lease shall be prorated to coincide with the
corresponding Commencement Date and Expiration Date. "Real Property
Taxes" shall not include and Tenant shall not be required to pay
any portion of any tax or assessment expense or any increase
therein (a) in excess of the amount which would be payable if
such tax or assessment expense were paid in installments over the
longest possible term; or (c) attributable to Landlord’s
net income, inheritance, gift, transfer, estate or state taxes.
-10-
10.3 Additional Improvements .
Operating Expenses shall not include Real Property Taxes
attributable to improvements placed upon the Industrial Center by
other tenants or by Landlord for the exclusive enjoyment of such
other tenants. Tenant shall, however, pay to Landlord at the time
Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the
entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed by
reason of improvements placed upon the Premises by Tenant or at
Tenant’s request.
10.4 Joint Assessment . If the Building is not
separately assessed, Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building
shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all
of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel
assessed.
10.5 Tenant’s Property Taxes . Tenant shall
pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon
Tenant’s improvements, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and
all personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or stored
within the Industrial Center.
11. Utilities. Tenant shall pay directly for all
utilities and services supplied to the Premises, including but not
limited to electricity, telephone, security, gas, and cleaning of
the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. For any such utility
fees or services that are not billed or metered separately to
Tenant, including without limitation, water and sewer charges, and
garbage and waste disposal (collectively, "Utility Expenses"),
Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Utility
Expenses. If Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant’s
Share of Utility Expenses is not commensurate with Tenant’s
use of such services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount which
is attributable to Tenant’s use of the utilities or similar
services, as reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord, based
upon factors such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of
such utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of
such charges reasonably consistent with Tenant’s use of such
utilities and similar services. If Tenant disputes any such
estimate or determination, then Tenant shall either pay the
estimated amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at
Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s
Share of any assessments, charges, and fees included within any tax
bill for the lot on which the Premises are situated, including
without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, sewer
use fees, and any other similar fees or charges .
12. Assignment and Subleasing .
12.1 Prohibition . Tenant shall not, without the prior
written consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign, mortgage, hypothecate,
encumber, grant any license or concession pledge or otherwise
transfer this Lease or any interest herein, permit any assignment
or other such transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by
operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or
permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and
Tenant’s Representatives (all of the foregoing are sometimes
referred to collectively as Transfers and any person to whom any
Transfer is made or sought to be made is sometimes referred to as a
Transferee"). No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver
of the provisions of this Section, and all subsequent Transfers may
be made only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but which consent shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section.
A. Permitted Transfers . The assignment or
subletting by Tenant of this Lease or the Premises to (i) a
parent wholly owning Tenant or subsidiary wholly owned by Tenant,
(ii) any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated,
or (iii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets
or capital stock of Tenant (all such persons or entities being
sometimes herein referred to as "Permitted Transferees") shall not
be deemed a Transfer under this Section (hence, the aforesaid
events shall not be subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior
consent; Landlord shall not have any right to receive any transfer
premium in connection therewith; and Landlord shall not have any
recapture rights), provided in all instances that:
(a) any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid
the obligations of this Section or Lease;
(b) Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice of any such
assignment or sublease;
(c) any such assignment or sublease shall be subject to all of
the terms and provisions of this Lease, and such assi
