Premises . Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases
from Landlord, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the entirety of the Leased Premises.
Section 1.03 Rentable
Areas; Final Measurement of Leased Premises . Prior to
Substantial Completion of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall cause
the project architect (“ Landlord’s Architect
”) to calculate the rentable square footage of the Leased
Premises, as constructed, in accordance with customary industrial
standards using exterior wall dimensions, as promulgated by the
Building Owners and Managers Association “Standard Method of
Measuring Floor Area in Industrial Buildings” 2001. Following
such remeasurement, (x) the rentable square footage calculated
by Landlord’s Architect pursuant to the terms of this
Section 1.03 shall be binding and conclusive upon the
parties, and (y) all amounts, percentages and figures
appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon rentable square
footage (or Rentable Area) shall be modified in accordance with
such determination; provided, however, that such remeasurement
shall not modify or affect the Minimum Annual Rent payable by
Tenant during the initial Lease Term.
ARTICLE 2
TERM AND
POSSESSION
Section 2.01 Term
. The term of this Lease (“ Lease Term ”) shall
be the period of time specified in the Basic Lease Provisions
commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the end of the
one hundred eightieth (180th) month thereafter (the “
Expiration Date ”). Following the Commencement Date,
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute a Letter of
Understanding in the form attached hereto as

Section 2.02
Construction .
A. Landlord Work
.
(i) Turnkey Work .
Upon Lease execution, Landlord and Tenant have approved the
preliminary drawings for the site plan, floor plan and the Building
structure (the “ Preliminary Drawings ”)
attached hereto as Exhibit D . On or before the
thirtieth (30th) day following the date hereof, Landlord shall
prepare and submit to Tenant a set of construction drawings (the
“ Turnkey Construction Drawings ”) covering all
work, except for the Allowance Work (defined below), to be
performed by Landlord in constructing the interior and exterior
improvements (the “ Turnkey Work ”), which shall
be based on the scope of work attached hereto as
Exhibit E (the “ Scope of Work
”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Turnkey Work shall
include, and Landlord shall be responsible for, the construction of
Enterprise Parkway to the points of ingress and egress to and from
the Leased Premises shown on the Preliminary Drawings. Tenant shall
have ten (10) days after receipt of the Turnkey Construction
Drawings in which to review the Turnkey Construction Drawings and
to give to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s approval of
the Turnkey Construction Drawings or its requested changes to the
Turnkey Construction Drawings. Tenant shall have the right to
request changes to the Turnkey Construction Drawings and Landlord
shall implement such changes as the parties mutually agree upon. If
Tenant fails to approve or request changes to the Turnkey
Construction Drawings within ten (10) days after its receipt
thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Turnkey
Construction Drawings and the same shall thereupon be final. If
Tenant requests any changes to the Turnkey Construction Drawings,
Landlord shall make those changes which are requested by Tenant and
shall within ten (10) days of its receipt of such request
submit the revised portion of the Turnkey Construction Drawings to
Tenant. Tenant may not thereafter disapprove the revised portions
of the Turnkey Construction Drawings unless Landlord has failed to
incorporate the comments of Tenant in a manner acceptable to Tenant
and, subject to the foregoing, the Turnkey Construction Drawings,
as modified by said revisions, shall be deemed to be final upon the
submission of said revisions to Tenant. Without limiting the
foregoing, following the completion of the Turnkey Construction
Drawings in accordance with this Section 2.02A (i),
Tenant agrees to confirm Tenant’s consent thereto in writing
within three (3) business days following Landlord’s
written request therefor.
(ii) Allowance Work .
In addition to the Turnkey Work, Landlord has agreed to make
certain improvements to the Leased Premises described in the List
of Allowances attached hereto as Exhibit F (the
“ Allowance Work ”). Tenant shall have the right
to reallocate funds between the Allowance line items shown on
Exhibit F and to otherwise apply the Allowance
toward any costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the
construction of, and the installation of MHE Equipment (as
hereinafter defined) in, the Leased Premises. Within
thirty (30) days following the date hereof, Tenant will confer
with Landlord’s space planner to develop a space plan for the
Allowance Work that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord
(the “ Space Plan ”). Within twenty (20)
days after Landlord’s receipt of the Space Plan, Landlord
shall prepare and submit to Tenant a set of construction drawings
(the “ Allowance Construction Drawings ”)
covering all work to be performed by Landlord in constructing the
Allowance Work in accordance with the Space Plan. Tenant shall have
ten (10) days after receipt of the Allowance Construction
Drawings in which to review the Allowance Construction Drawings and
to give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s approval of the
Allowance Construction Drawings or its requested changes thereto.
Tenant shall have the right to request changes to the Allowance
Construction Drawings and Landlord shall implement such changes as
the parties mutually agree upon. If Tenant fails to approve or
request changes to the Allowance Construction Drawings within
ten (10) days after its receipt of the Allowance Construction
Drawings, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the
Allowance Construction Drawings and the same shall thereupon be
final. If Tenant requests any changes to the Allowance Construction
Drawings, Landlord shall make those changes which

are requested by Tenant and
shall within ten (10) days of its receipt of such request
submit the revised portion of the Allowance Construction Drawings
to Tenant. Tenant may not thereafter disapprove the revised
portions of the Allowance Construction Drawings unless Landlord has
failed to incorporate the comments of Tenant in a manner acceptable
to Tenant and, subject to the foregoing, the Allowance Construction
Drawings, as modified by said revisions, shall be deemed to be
final upon the submission of said revisions to Tenant. After the
Allowance Construction Drawings have been completed in accordance
with this Section 2.02A(ii) , Tenant agrees to confirm
Tenant’s consent thereto in writing within three (3)
business days following Landlord’s written request
therefor.
Following Tenant’s
approval (or deemed approval) of the Allowance Construction
Drawings, Landlord shall solicit competitive bids from at least
three (3) subcontractors for each major trade (excluding any
contractors also used for the Turnkey Work). Landlord and Tenant
shall review the bids jointly and Landlord shall select the
subcontractors mutually agreed upon by both parties. Promptly
following the selection of a subcontractor for each major trade,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the cost to
construct and install all of the Allowance Work (the “
Cost Statement ”). The Cost Statement shall include
design fees and general conditions, but shall not include any
construction management or contractor fees. Tenant agrees to
approve or reject the Cost Statement in writing within
five (5) business days following Landlord’s written
request therefor. If Tenant rejects the Cost Statement, Landlord
and Tenant shall promptly meet to discuss changes to the Allowance
Construction Drawings that shall be necessary to reduce the cost of
the Allowance Work to an amount approved by Tenant.
Tenant shall be responsible
for the cost to construct and install the Allowance Work only to
the extent that the Cost Statement, taking into account any
increases or decreases to the Allowance Work resulting from any
Change Orders (as hereinafter defined), exceeds Five Million Five
Hundred Ten Thousand Two Hundred Nine Dollars ($5,510,209.00) (the
“ Allowance ”). If, following Tenant’s
approval (or deemed approval) of the Allowance Construction
Drawings, the Cost Statement shows that the cost to construct and
install the Allowance Work will exceed the Allowance (such excess
being herein referred to as the “ Excess Allowance
Work Costs ”), then Tenant shall pay the Excess
Allowance Work Costs to Landlord as set forth herein. At such time
as Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the construction and installation of the Allowance Work exceed the
Allowance, Landlord will have the right to invoice Tenant on a
monthly basis for the portion of the Excess Allowance Work Costs
actually incurred by Landlord during the prior month plus a ten
percent (10%) construction management fee thereon, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in such invoice within
ten (10) days following receipt of such invoice.
Tenant’s failure to deliver the payments required in this
paragraph shall entitle Landlord to stop the construction and
installation of the Allowance Work until such payment is received,
and such delay shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder. In
addition, all delinquent payments shall accrue interest at fifteen
percent (15%) per annum. Notwithstanding anything in this
Lease to the contrary, in the event the Allowance shall exceed the
Cost Statement (taking into account any increases or decreases to
the Allowance Work resulting from any Change Orders), then the
Minimum Annual Rent and corresponding Monthly Rental Installment
schedules set forth in Section 1.01 above shall be
reduced to reflect such decrease, as such costs have been
quantified in the Cost Statement approved by Tenant, plus a five
percent (5%) construction management fee. For purposes of
calculating such reduction in the Minimum Annual Rent, Landlord
shall multiply the positive difference between the Allowance and
the Cost Statement plus five percent (5%) by 0.0795. [Example:
Assume $400,000 savings. Then, $400,000 × 1.05 = $420,000
× 0.0795 = $33,390 Minimum Annual Rent savings.]
(iii) The Turnkey Work and
the Allowance Work together shall be collectively referred to
herein as the “ Landlord Work .” The Turnkey
Construction Drawings and Allowance Construction Drawings together
shall be collectively referred to herein as the “
Construction Drawings .” Landlord shall construct in a
good workmanlike manner all of the Landlord Work and supply all
work,

labor, materials and
equipment necessary to complete the Landlord Work in accordance
with the Construction Drawings, which shall include, without
limitation, the installation of landscaping, parking lots,
driveways and all improvements as shown on the Construction
Drawings for the benefit of the Leased Premises. Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable speed and diligence to Substantially
Complete the Landlord Work on or before the Projected Commencement
Date.
B. Schedule . The
Landlord Work shall be constructed by Landlord in a good and
workmanlike manner, in compliance with the Construction Drawings
and all laws, codes, and ordinances applicable to the Leased
Premises, and in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit G (the “ Project Schedule
”). Landlord shall apply for and obtain as expeditiously as
possible, at its sole cost and expense, all permits, licenses and
certificates necessary for the construction of the Landlord Work
and for the occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant (including,
without limitation, temporary and final certificates of occupancy),
provided, Tenant shall be responsible for the installation of
office furniture, racking, and warehouse equipment to the extent
required to obtain the temporary and/or final occupancy permit for
the Leased Premises. Landlord and Tenant will coordinate the
installation of Tenant’s MHE Equipment and warehouse
equipment pursuant to Section 2.02E .
C. Change Orders
.
(i) Tenant shall have the
right from time to time to request changes to the Construction
Drawings by way of written change order (each, a “ Change
Order ,” and collectively, “ Change Orders
”). Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant within
ten (10) days a memorandum setting forth the impact on cost
and schedule, if any, resulting from said Change Order (the “
Change Order Memorandum of Agreement ”), with
such cost including any additional design fees and, if the
applicable Change Order increases the cost to complete the Turnkey
Work, a ten percent (10%) construction management fee. Tenant
shall, within three (3) business days following Tenant’s
receipt of the Change Order Memorandum of Agreement, either
(a) execute and return the Change Order Memorandum of
Agreement to Landlord, or (b) retract its request for the
Change Order. Landlord shall not be obligated to commence any work
set forth in a Change Order until such time as Tenant has delivered
to Landlord the Change Order Memorandum of Agreement executed by
Tenant. The increase in the cost to construct the Turnkey Work, if
any, resulting from the Change Order, as set forth in the Change
Order Memorandum of Agreement, shall be herein referred to as the
“ Excess Turnkey Change Order Costs .”
Landlord shall invoice Tenant on a monthly basis for the portion of
the Excess Turnkey Change Order Costs actually incurred by Landlord
during the prior month and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount
set forth in such invoice within ten (10) days following
receipt of such invoice.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything
in this Lease to the contrary, in the event the actual cost of the
Turnkey Work is reduced as a result of a Change Order to the
Turnkey Work, as set forth in the Change Order Memorandum of
Agreement, then the Minimum Annual Rent and corresponding Monthly
Rental Installment schedules set forth in Section 1.01
above shall be modified to reflect such decrease, as such costs
have been quantified in the applicable Change Order Memorandum of
Agreement executed by Tenant. For purposes of calculating a
reduction in the Minimum Annual Rent due to Change Orders to the
Turnkey Work, Landlord shall multiply the net savings resulting
from the Change Order, plus five percent (5%), by 0.0795. [Example:
Assume $400,000 savings. Then, $400,000 × 1.05 = $420,000
× 0.0795 = $33,390 Minimum Annual Rent savings.]

D. Warranty
.
(i) Landlord hereby warrants
that the Landlord Work (including, without limitation, the slab of
the Leased Premises and all systems and equipment, including
heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical, sprinkler
and life safety, plumbing, and dock equipment, but specifically
excluding the roof) shall be, for a period of one (1) year
after the Commencement Date, and that the roof shall be, for a
period of ten (10) years after the Commencement Date, free
from defects in materials and workmanship (“
Landlord’s Warranty ”). The Landlord’s
Warranty shall be absolute and unconditional subject only to
routine maintenance (except as to Landlord’s obligations
herein), casualty, ordinary wear and tear, and repairs and
replacements necessitated by Tenant’s negligence or willful
misconduct. Landlord hereby further warrants that the Landlord Work
shall substantially and materially conform to the Construction
Drawings. The Landlord’s Warranty covers all materials, labor
and equipment for replacement and repairs but do not cover
consequential damages, such as lost profits or opportunity,
incurred by Tenant. Tenant will notify Landlord following actual
discovery of any potential problems which may be covered by
Landlord’s Warranty, but no delay in providing such notice
shall affect or limit Landlord’s Warranty. Landlord also
warrants that the recharge wells required for the Darby Watershed
shall be in good condition and repair for a period of
three (3) years after the Commencement Date.
(ii) In addition to the
foregoing, Landlord shall obtain from all contractors and material
suppliers providing labor or materials in connection with the
development of the Leased Premises such warranties and guarantees
as are customary in the construction and development of similar
premises in the market area of the Leased Premises (collectively,
“ Contractor Warranties ”). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Contractor Warranties
shall specifically include a ten (10) year “no dollar
limit” material manufacturer’s roof warranty. Landlord
shall enforce, for the benefit of Tenant, at Landlord’s sole
cost and expense (and not as Additional Rent hereunder), during the
Lease Term, all Contractor Warranties. Landlord shall provide
Tenant with copies of all Contractor Warranties and Landlord shall
consult with Tenant as to the application and restrictions
applicable to all such Contractor Warranties. Tenant shall not take
any action which to Tenant’s knowledge shall invalidate any
of the Contractor Warranties and shall provide Landlord with
written notice of all warranty claims. Tenant will notify Landlord
as soon as reasonably practicable following actual discovery of any
potential problems which may be covered by the Contractor
Warranties, but no delay in providing such notice shall affect or
limit Landlord’s enforcement of any such Contractor
Warranties.
(iii) Without limiting
Landlord’s duty to perform (or to enforce the performance of)
repairs under any Landlord’s Warranty or Contractor
Warranties, the timing of the performance of any repairs will be
mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant so as to minimize the
disruption to Tenant’s business operations.
E. Coordination of
Tenant’s Work and Early Occupancy . Tenant agrees to
coordinate with Landlord regarding the installation of
Tenant’s phone and data wiring and any other trade related
fixtures (including the “ MHE Equipment ”
delineated in the MHE Plan attached hereto as
Exhibit H ) that Tenant desires to install in
the Leased Premises prior to Substantial Completion. If and to the
extent permitted by applicable governmental laws and ordinances,
Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors and agents shall
have the right to enter into portions of the Leased Premises prior
to the Commencement Date in accordance with the phased early
occupancy schedule attached hereto as Exhibit I
in order to install fixtures (such as the MHE Equipment and
conveyor), and otherwise prepare such portions of the Leased
Premises for occupancy, which right shall expressly exclude making
any structural modifications which would interfere with the
performance of the Landlord Work. During any entry prior to the
Commencement Date, (a) Tenant, Tenant’s contractors,
subcontractors and agents shall comply with all terms and
conditions of this Lease other than the obligation to pay Minimum
Annual Rent, Additional Rent and utilities; provided, Tenant shall
pay its equitable share of any utility cost in connection with the
MHE Equipment and conveyor, (b) Tenant, Tenant’s
contractors, subcontractors and agents shall not interfere with
Landlord’s completion of the Landlord Work, (c) Tenant
shall cause its personnel and contractors to comply in all material
respects with the terms and conditions of Landlord’s rules of
conduct

attached hereto as
Exhibit J , and (d) Tenant shall not begin
operation of its business (including any storage of Tenant’s
product in the Building). Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall be
responsible for obtaining all applicable permits and inspections
relating to any such entry by Tenant; provided that Landlord shall
cooperate with Tenant in obtaining such permits and inspections.
Landlord shall also cooperate with Tenant’s rack vendor in
obtaining any permits necessary for the installation of racks in
the Leased Premises.
F. Late Completion .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, if
Substantial Completion of the Leased Premises is delayed beyond the
Projected Commencement Date as a result of Tenant Delay (as
hereinafter defined), then, for purposes of determining the
Commencement Date (for rent commencement), Substantial Completion
shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that Substantial
Completion would have occurred but for such Tenant Delay. Without
limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable
speed and diligence to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work on
or before the Projected Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to perform the Landlord Work
on a timely basis shall be subject to the following additional
terms and provisions:
(i) In the event the
Commencement Date has not occurred within ten (10) days after
the Projected Commencement Date, as such date may be extended by
Completion Delays (as hereinafter defined), then Landlord shall pay
to Tenant the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) as
liquidated damages for such delay.
(ii) In addition to the
payment required pursuant to Section 2.02F(i) above, in
the event that the Commencement Date has not occurred within
ten (10) days after the Projected Commencement Date, as such
date may be extended by Completion Delays, Tenant shall receive one
day of free Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent from and after
the Commencement Date for each day the Commencement Date is delayed
beyond such ten (10) day period as liquidated damages for such
delay.
If Landlord contends that a
Completion Delay has occurred, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in
writing or telephonically at (415) 945-3496 (Ken Dunaj) within
five (5) days of the event which constitutes such Completion
Delay (a “ Delay Notice ”). Landlord’s
failure to so notify Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of
Landlord’s right to assert any such Completion Delay;
provided, however, that in the event a Completion Delay is not
reasonably ascertainable or determinable by Landlord in
five (5) days ( i.e. , such as from cumulative unusual
weather conditions), Landlord shall have thirty (30) days in
which to notify Tenant of such Completion Delay.
G. Definitions . For
purposes of this Lease: (a) “ Completion Delays
” means (i) Tenant Delays (as defined below) or
(ii) delays attributable to force majeure events (as defined
in Section 17.04 below) (collectively, a “
Completion Delay ”); (b) the Leased Premises
shall be deemed to be “ Substantially Completed
” (or any grammatical variation thereof) at such time as
(i) Landlord shall certify in writing to Tenant that said
Leased Premises have been completed in substantial accordance with
the Construction Drawings subject only to minor punch list items (
i.e. , such unfinished items as shall not impair
Tenant’s ability to use the Leased Premises in the manner
intended by the Lease) to be mutually agreed to and identified by
Tenant and Landlord during a joint inspection of the Leased
Premises prior to Substantial Completion, (ii) Landlord shall
have obtained all necessary governmental approvals and inspections,
all systems are fully operational, and sufficient utilities are
available to service the Leased Premises and are connected to mains
and all meters are set and activated, (iii) the project
architect, shall certify in writing to Tenant pursuant to and in
accordance with form AIA-G704, or other form reasonably acceptable
to Landlord as to those same matters in (i) and
(ii) immediately preceding, and (iv) the

occupancy. At such time as the last of the foregoing requirements
shall have been satisfied, Landlord shall deliver possession of the
Leased Premises to Tenant for occupancy; (c) “ Tenant
Delay ” shall mean any actual delay in the Substantial
Completion of the Leased Premises to the extent caused by Tenant,
including, without limitation, (i) Tenant’s failure to
meet any time deadlines specified herein (including deadlines in
the Project Schedule), (ii) delays attributable to Change
Orders, (iii) the performance of any other work in the Leased
Premises by any person, firm or corporation employed by or on
behalf of Tenant, or any failure to complete or delay in completion
of such work, specifically including, but not limited to,
Tenant’s installation of office furniture, racking and
warehouse equipment, and (iv) Landlord’s inability to
obtain a temporary occupancy permit for the Leased Premises because
of the need for completion of all or a portion of improvements
being installed in the Leased Premises directly by Tenant,
specifically including, but not limited to, Tenant’s
installation of office furniture, racking and warehouse
equipment.
Section 2.03
Surrender of the Leased Premises . Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, immediately (a) remove Tenant’s Property
(as defined in Section 8.01 below) from the Leased
Premises, and repair any damage caused by any such removal,
(b) surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in broom-clean
condition and in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear
and tear and damage due to casualty or condemnation excepted,
(c) remove from the Leased Premises (i) Tenant’s
Property (as defined in Section 8.01 below), and
(ii) any alterations required to be removed pursuant to
Section 7.04 below, and (d) repair any damage
caused by any such removal and restore the Leased Premises to the
condition existing upon the Commencement Date reasonable wear and
tear and damage due to casualty or condemnation excepted. All of
Tenant’s Property that is not removed within ten (10)
business days following ‘Landlord’s written demand
therefor (following the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease) shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned and
Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such property at
Tenant’s cost without incurring any liability to Tenant. This
Section 2.03 shall survive the expiration or any
earlier termination of this Lease.
Section 2.04 Holding
Over . If Tenant retains possession of the Leased Premises
after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without
Landlord’s permission, then Tenant shall be a tenant at
sufferance at a rental rate equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) the Monthly Rental Installments for the Leased Premises
in effect upon the date of such expiration or earlier termination
and otherwise upon the terms, covenants and conditions herein
specified, so far as applicable. Acceptance by Landlord of rent
after such expiration or earlier termination shall not result in a
renewal of this Lease, nor shall such acceptance create a
month-to-month tenancy. In the event a month-to-month tenancy is
created by operation of law, either party shall have the right to
terminate such month-to-month tenancy upon thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice to the other, whether or not said
notice is given on the rent paying date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event Tenant provides Landlord with at least
six (6) months’ prior written notice of its intent to
holdover possession (a “ Holdover Notice ”),
then Tenant shall have the right to holdover beyond the expiration
of the Lease Term as to all of the Leased Premises for a period not
to exceed three (3) months, as identified in the Holdover
Notice; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no such right if,
at the time of the delivery of the Holdover Notice, Landlord has
entered into a lease with a replacement tenant for the Leased
Premises and requires immediate possession of the Leased Premises
upon the expiration of the Lease Term in order to deliver
possession thereof to the replacement tenant in accordance with the
terms of its lease, or has executed a term sheet or letter of
intent for the leasing of the Leased Premises to a replacement
tenant and requires immediate possession of the Leased Premises
upon the expiration of the Lease Term in order to commence the
construction of interior improvements therein for such replacement
tenant. Any permitted holdover by Tenant pursuant to a Holdover
Notice shall be at the rental rate last due in this Lease, plus
Additional Rent, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions
herein specified, so far as applicable; provided, however, that in

shall Tenant be permitted to deliver an
additional Holdover Notice nor shall any renewal or expansion
option or other similar right or option contained in this Lease be
deemed applicable to any such tenancy. Except as expressly set
forth herein, this Section 2.04 shall in no way

the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, nor limit
Landlord’s remedies in such event.

month.
Section 3.02

Tenant is responsible for all commercially reasonable costs,
charges and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
operating and maintaining the Leased Premises during the Lease Term

self-insured amounts retained by Landlord); utilities; expenses for
maintenance, repair and replacement of driveways and parking areas,
including snow and ice removal; costs of trash removal; landscaping
costs; management fees (not to exceed one percent (1%) of the
Minimum Annual Rent); costs incurred under the recorded documents
and owners’ association affecting the Leased Premises and

affecting the Leased Premises (including the CCRs referenced below)
and approved by Tenant in writing, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; repairs and
maintenance to those portions of the Leased Premises as
contemplated in Section 7.02B below; and all other
costs and expenses, reasonably necessary in maintaining the Leased
Premises in good order, condition and repair as a warehouse
distribution center) (collectively, “ Operating
Expenses ”); provided, however, that Operating Expenses
shall not include those costs, charges or expenses as set forth on
Exhibit L attached hereto. Tenant acknowledges
receipt of the CCRs set forth on Exhibit K
hereto, which are intended to be recorded in connection with the
development of the Park (the “ CCRs ”). Tenant
hereby approves the form and substance of such CCRs. Landlord
agrees that the Leased Premises, as designed and constructed in
accordance with this Lease, shall be deemed to comply with the CCRs
(or Landlord hereby waives any element of noncompliance). Promptly
following the Commencement Date, Landlord shall assign to Tenant
the membership interests of Landlord in the Association (as defined
in the CCRs, but excluding the “Class B Member” or
“Developer” rights under Section 9.3 of the CCRs)
for the Lease Term (including any “Extension Terms,” as

Section 9.1 of the CCRs, and Tenant shall thereafter have the
rights of a Member (as defined in the CCRs) in the
Association.

including the reasonable costs and expenses of contesting the
validity or amount of Real Estate Taxes; fees or charges imposed by

dues and costs imposed by covenants or easements (subject to the
limitations contained above in this Section 3.02 ), and
snow removal costs (collectively, “ Uncontrollable

B. Controllable
Expenses . Tenant’s obligation to pay all other Operating
Expenses which are not Uncontrollable Expenses (herein “
Controllable Expenses ”) shall be limited to a five
percent (5%) per annum increase over the amount the
Controllable Expenses for the immediately preceding calendar year
would have been had the Controllable Expenses increased at the rate
of five percent (5%) in all previous calendar years beginning
with the actual Controllable Expenses for the year ending
December 31 of the second full calendar year of the Lease
Term.
C. Real Estate Taxes .
“ Real Estate Taxes ” shall include any form of
real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or
extraordinary, payments in lieu of taxes, and any license fee,
commercial rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax
(other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) imposed
upon the Leased Premises or appurtenant land (or against
Landlord’s business of leasing the Building) by any authority
having the direct or indirect power to tax, together with costs and
expenses of contesting the validity or amount of Real Estate Taxes.
If the property is not separately assessed, then Tenant’s
liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real estate taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel
assessed. Landlord’s reasonable determination thereof, in
good faith, shall be conclusive. Tenant, at its cost, shall have
the right at any time to seek a reduction in or otherwise contest
any Real Estate Taxes for which it is obligated to reimburse
Landlord by action or proceeding against the entity with authority
to assess or impose the same. Landlord shall not be required to
join in any such proceeding or action brought by Tenant unless the
provisions of applicable Laws require that such proceeding or
action be brought by or in the name of Landlord, in which event
Landlord shall join in such proceeding or action or permit it to be
brought in Landlord’s name, provided that Tenant protect,
indemnify, and hold Landlord free and harmless from and against any
liability, cost or expense in connection with such proceeding or
contest. Tenant shall continue, during the pendency of such
proceeding or action, to pay the Real Estate Taxes due as
determined by Landlord pursuant to this Section 3.02 .
If Tenant is successful in such action or proceeding, Landlord
shall reimburse to Tenant the reduction in Real Estate Taxes
realized by Tenant in such contest or proceeding within
ten (10) days after the amount of such reduction has been
reimbursed to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in no event shall Real Estate Taxes include any
franchise, estate, gift, succession, inheritance, transfer, net
income, or excess profits tax imposed upon Landlord, or any
penalties or fees.
Tenant shall pay, prior to
delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of
Tenant contained in the Leased Premises or elsewhere. Tenant shall
cause such trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and all other
personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the
Leased Premises.
D. Capital Expenses .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
any costs of a capital nature (including, but not limited to,
capital improvements and alterations, capital repairs, capital
equipment, and capital tools, all as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
(“ GAAP ”)) that would otherwise be properly
included within “Operating Expenses” hereunder shall be
capitalized by Landlord, and Tenant shall be required to pay as
Operating Expenses only the pro rata share of the cost of the
applicable item falling due within the Lease Term based upon the
amortization of the same over the useful life of such item, such
amount to be payable in substantially equal monthly installments
over the then-remaining balance of the Lease Term.
Section 3.03 Payment
of Additional Rent . Landlord shall be entitled to estimate
annually the total amount of Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant
during each calendar year of the Lease Term and written notice
thereof shall be given to Tenant within a reasonable time period
prior to the beginning of each calendar year (in the event the
Lease Term shall commence in a calendar year, Tenant shall be
furnished with said notice on the Commencement Date). Not later
than November 30th of each calendar year, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a proposed budget of Operating Expenses (each, an

Budget ”) for the following
calendar year (except that, for the first year of the Lease Term,
Tenant shall be provided with an Expense Budget not later than
sixty (60) days prior to the Commencement Date). Tenant shall
have the right to review and consult with Landlord regarding each
Expense Budget within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s
receipt of the same. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within such
fifteen (15) day period, written approval of the applicable
Expense Budget or, if Tenant disapproves any line item or line
items contained therein, written notice of such disapproval on a
line item basis. In the event Tenant delivers a notice of
disapproval, Landlord shall act reasonably and in good faith to
develop an Expense Budget that is responsive to Tenant’s
concerns; provided, however, that in the event of a disagreement
between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Expense Budget, the
decision of Landlord shall control. Commencing on the Commencement
Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month, at the same time the
Monthly Rental Installment is due, an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of the estimated Additional Rent for such year. Any
amount required to be paid by Tenant hereunder (in addition to
Minimum Annual Rent) and any charges or expenses incurred by
Landlord on behalf of Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall be
considered “ Additional Rent ” payable in the
same manner and upon the same terms and conditions as the Minimum
Annual Rent reserved hereunder, except as set forth herein to the
contrary. Any failure on the part of Tenant to pay such Additional
Rent when and as the same shall become due shall entitle Landlord
to the remedies available to it for non-payment of Minimum Annual
Rent.
A. Increases or Decreases
in Estimated Additional Rent . If any expenses comprising
Additional Rent increase during a calendar year, Landlord may
increase or decrease the estimated Additional Rent during such year
by giving Tenant written notice to that effect, and thereafter
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in each of the remaining months of
such year, an amount equal to the amount of such increase or
decrease in the estimated Additional Rent divided by the number of
months remaining in such year.
B. Adjustment to
Additional Rent . Within a reasonable time after the end of
each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a
statement showing the actual Additional Rent for the prior calendar
year (the “ Statement ”). Within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall credit against the next rent
payment or payments due from Tenant, as the case may be, the
difference between the actual Additional Rent for the preceding
calendar year and the estimated amount paid by Tenant during such
year, subject to the limitations contained in
Section 3.02B and this Section 3.03 . For
any fractional portion of a calendar year at the commencement or
termination of this Lease, any such deficiency or overage shall be
settled and adjusted between the parties after the end of that
calendar year in the same manner as above, but prorated based on
the number of days of the Lease Term within such calendar
year.
C. Audit Rights .
Within two hundred seventy (270) days of receipt of the
Statement, Tenant shall have the right, upon at least ten (10)
days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to audit at
Landlord’s local offices, at Tenant’s expense,
Landlord’s accounts and records relating to Additional Rent.
Such audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant (not
billing on a contingency fee basis) selected by Tenant, which
certified public accountant may be an employee of Tenant. If
Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord has overcharged Tenant,
then the amount overcharged shall be paid to Tenant within
thirty (30) days after the audit is concluded, together with
interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum,
from the date the Statement was delivered to Tenant until payment
of the overcharge is made to Tenant. If Tenant provides Landlord
with written notice disputing the correctness of Landlord’s
statement, and if such dispute shall have not been settled by
agreement between Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days
after Tenant provides Landlord with such written notice, Tenant may
submit the dispute to a reputable firm of independent certified
public accountants selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and the decision of
such accountants shall be

conclusive and binding upon the parties.
If such accountant decides that there was an error, Landlord will
make a correcting payment if Tenant overpaid such amount, and
Tenant shall pay Landlord if Tenant underpaid such amount. In
addition, if the Statement exceeds the actual Additional Rent which
should have been charged to Tenant by more than five percent (5%),
then the cost of the audit shall be paid by Landlord.
All of the information
obtained through Tenant’s inspection with respect to
financial matters (including, without limitation, costs, expenses
and income) and any other matters pertaining to Landlord, the
Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Park as well as any
compromise, settlement or adjustment reached between Landlord and
Tenant relative to the results of the inspection shall be subject
to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in
Section 17.15 below.
Section 3.04 Late
Charges . Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall incur certain
additional unanticipated administrative and legal costs and
expenses if Tenant fails to pay timely any payment required
hereunder. Therefore, in addition to the other remedies available
to Landlord hereunder, if any payment required to be paid by Tenant
to Landlord hereunder shall not be paid within five (5) days
after written notice of delinquency, then such unpaid amount shall
bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at
the prime rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal on
the date such payment was due) of interest (“ Prime
Rate ”) plus four percent (4%) per annum; provided,
however, that Tenant shall be entitled to only two (2) such
notices in any twelve (12) month period and, thereafter during
such period, a late charge shall be due if Tenant fails to pay to
Landlord any amount required to be paid hereunder within
five (5) days after the date the same is due.

Tenant’s rights under this Lease, (iv) subject to
Landlord’s obligations herein, comply with all laws, rules,
regulations, orders, ordinances, directions and requirements of any
governmental authority or agency, now in force or which may

required by law, materially alter, reduce or adversely affect any
of Tenant’s rights or enlarge Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done
in or about the Leased Premises or common areas of the Park which

tenants within the Park or injures or annoys them. Landlord shall
not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance by any other

non-exclusive and shall not interfere with Tenant’s use of
the affected portions of the Leased Premises; and (d) subject
to Tenant’s security requirements, Landlord, its employees
and agents shall be permitted to inspect or examine the Leased
Premises at any reasonable time upon no less than twenty-four

that except in the case of an emergency, a representative of Tenant
shall have the right to accompany Landlord and its employees and
agents during all such visits to the Leased Premises. Landlord

to the conditions that (i) the exercise of any of such rights
