II. LEASE GRANT.
Subject to and upon the terms herein set forth, Landlord leases to

common with others, to use the Common Areas.
III. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMENCEMENT DATE/POSSESSION.
A. The Lease Term shall not commence until the later to occur of the
Target Commencement Date and the date that Landlord has substantially
completed the Landlord Work; provided, however, that if Landlord shall
be delayed in substantially completing the Landlord Work as a result
of the occurrence of any of the following (a "Delay"):
1. Tenant's failure to furnish information in accordance with the
Work Letter Agreement or to respond to any request by Landlord for
any approval or information within any time period prescribed, or
if no time period is prescribed, then within two (2) Business Days
of such request; or
2. Tenant's insistence on materials, finishes or installations that
have long lead times after having first been informed by Landlord
that such materials, finishes or installations will cause a Delay;
or
3. Changes in any plans and specifications requested by Tenant; or
4. The performance or nonperformance by a person or entity employed
by Tenant in the completion of any work in the Premises (all such
work and such persons or entities being subject to the prior
approval of Landlord); or
5. Any request by Tenant that Landlord delay the completion of any of
the Landlord Work; or
6. Any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; or
7. Any delay resulting from Tenant's having taken possession of the
Premises for any reason prior to substantial completion of the
Landlord Work; or
8. Any other delay chargeable to Tenant, its agents, employees or
independent contractors;
9. Tenant's failure to execute this Lease by February 7, 1996;
10. Final Plans for the Landlord Work not being finalized and approved
by Landlord and Tenant prior to April 1, 1996;
then, for purposes of determining the Commencement Date, the date of
substantial completion shall be deemed to be the day that said
Landlord Work would have been substantially completed absent any such
Delay(s). The Landlord Work shall be deemed to be substantially
completed on the date that Landlord reasonably determines that all
Landlord's Work has been performed (or would have been performed
absent any Delays), other than any details of construction, mechanical
adjustment or any other matter (e.g. punchlist items), the
noncompletion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant's use
of the Premises. The adjustment of the Commencement Date and,
accordingly, the postponement of Tenant's obligation to pay Rent shall
be Tenant's sole remedy and shall constitute full settlement of all
claims that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of
the Premises not being ready for occupancy by Tenant on the Target
Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's failure
to deliver the portion of the Premises occupied by U.S. Gypsum on the
date of this Lease containing approximately 988 square feet (the "U.S.
Gypsum
4
Premises") shall not postpone the Commencement Date or effect the
determination of substantial completion of the Landlord Work in the
Premises. In the event the Landlord Work in the U.S. Gypsum Premises
is not substantially completed on the Commencement Date of the Lease,
the Base Rental and other charges hereunder shall be appropriately
adjusted on a per diem basis to reflect the 988 square foot reduction
in the Rentable Area of the Premises. Promptly after the
determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall
enter into a letter agreement (the "Commencement Letter") on the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C setting forth the Commencement Date, the
Termination Date and any other dates that are affected by the
adjustment of the Commencement Date. Tenant, within five (5) days
after receipt thereof from Landlord, shall execute the Commencement
Letter and return the same to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Landlord may elect, by written notice to
Tenant, not to adjust the Commencement Date as provided above if such
adjustment would cause Landlord to be in violation of the expansion
rights granted to any other tenant of the Building. If Landlord elects
not to adjust the Commencement Date, the Commencement Date shall be
the Target Commencement Date, provided that Rent shall not commence
until the date that Landlord Work has been substantially completed (or
would have been substantially completed absent any Delays).
Tenant is currently the tenant under that certain lease for space in
the building located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000,
Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 dated May 10, 1984, as amended (the
"Existing Lease") by and between Keystone Crossing Joint Venture, as
landlord and Tenant for approximately 23,605 rentable square feet. If
the Commencement Date for the Premise (excluding the approximately 988
square feet of space occupied by U.S. Gypsum on the date of this
Lease) has not occurred on or before the Target Commencement Date,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a monthly reimbursement in an
amount equal to the per diem holdover rent, if any, that Tenant is
required to pay under the Existing Lease beginning on October 20, 1996
and ending on the Commencment Date of this Lease (the "Reimbursement
Period"). For purposes hereof, the "per diem holdover rent" shall
mean that portion of rent that Tenant is required to pay under the
Existing Lease that is in excess and addition to the rent that Tenant
was required to pay for the last month of the lease term under the
Existing Lease but in no event shall such monthly reimbursement exceed
the sum of $16,483.50 (the "Reimbursement Cap"). The reimbursement
for each month during the Reimbursement Period shall equal the total
amount that Tenant actually pays under the Existing Lease (as
evidenced by copies of checks from Tenant) for such month for rent
under the Existing Lease but in no event greater than the
Reimbursement Cap. For example, if Tenant's rent for the last month of
the lease term of the Existing Lease is $400.00 per day and, as a
result of a holdover by Tenant under the Existing Lease, such rent
increases to $600.00 per day, the reimbursement Tenant is entitled to
receive hereunder shall equal $200.00 per day. Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Target Commencement Date shall be
extended by the number of days Landlord is delayed in substantially
completing the Landlord Work because of any Delays by Tenant; and (ii)
the Target Commencment Date shall be extended by the number of days
Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Landlord Work due
to events of Force Majeure.
B. Subject to the completion or correction of any items of Landlord Work
set forth on a construction punchlist jointly prepared by Landlord and
Tenant in good faith based on a walk through of the Premises within
thirty (30) days after substantial completion, by taking possession of
the Premises, Tenant is deemed to have accepted the Premises and
agreed that the Premises is in good order and satisfactory condition,
with no representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition of
the Premises or the Building or suitability thereof for Tenant's use.
Landlord agrees to proceed in good faith to substantially complete or
correct any items set forth on the punchlist within sixty
5
(60) days following preparation of the punchlist by Landlord and
Tenant.
C. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
D. If Tenant takes possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement
Date, such possession shall be subject to all the terms and conditions
of the Lease and Tenant shall pay Base Rental and Additional Base
Rental to Landlord for each day of occupancy prior to the Commencement
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may take possession of the
Premises not more than fourteen (14) Business Days prior to the
anticipated Commencement Date for the sole purpose of performing any
Landlord-approved improvements therein or installing furniture,
equipment or other personal property of Tenant, such possession shall
be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, except
that Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rental or Additional
Base Rental with respect to the period of time prior to the
Commencement Date during which Tenant performs such work. Nothing
herein shall be construed as granting Tenant the right to take
possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date for any
other purpose without the prior consent of Landlord.
IV. RENT.
A. During each calendar year, or portion thereof, falling within the
Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Base Rental
hereunder Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which
Basic Costs for the applicable calendar year exceed the Basic Costs
for the Base Year (the "Excess"). In the event that Taxes and/or
Expenses, as the case may be, in any calendar year decrease below the
amount of Taxes or Expenses for the Base Year, Tenant's Pro Rata Share
of Taxes and/or Expenses, as the case may be, for such calendar year
shall be deemed to be $0, it being understood that Tenant shall not be
entitled to any credit or offset if Taxes and/or Expenses decrease
below the corresponding amount for the Base Year. Prior to the
Commencement Date and prior to January 1 of each calendar year during
the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall
make a good faith estimate of the Excess for the applicable calendar
year. On or before the first day of each month during such calendar
year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Base Rental, a
monthly installment equal to one- twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share
of Landlord's estimate of the Excess. Landlord shall have the right
from time to time during any such calendar year to revise the estimate
of the Excess for such year and provide Tenant with a revised
statement therefor, and thereafter the amount Tenant shall pay each
month shall be based upon such revised estimate. If Landlord does not
provide Tenant with an estimate of the Excess by January 1 of any
calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay a monthly installment
based on the previous year's estimate until such time as Landlord
provides Tenant with an estimate of the Excess for the current year.
Upon receipt of such current year's estimate, an adjustment shall be
made for any month during the current year with respect to which
Tenant paid monthly installments of Additional Base Rental based on
the previous year's estimate of the Excess. Tenant shall pay Landlord
for any underpayment within ten (10) days after demand. Any
overpayment shall be credited against the installment of Additional
Base Rental due for the months immediately following the furnishing of
such estimate. Any amounts paid by Tenant based on Landlord's estimate
of the Excess shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the
immediately following paragraph when actual Basic Costs are determined
for such calendar year.
As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year during
the Lease Term, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of
Landlord's actual Basic Costs and the actual Excess for such previous
calendar year. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide such
statement to Tenant within six (6) months following the end of each
calendar year. If the estimated Excess actually paid by Tenant for
the prior year is in excess of Tenant's actual Pro Rata Share of the
Excess for such prior year, then
6
Landlord shall apply such overpayment against Additional Base Rental
due or to become due hereunder, provided if the Lease Term expires
prior to the determination of such overpayment, Landlord shall refund
such overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of any
Rent due hereunder. Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten
(10) days after demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior
year, whether or not the Lease has terminated prior to receipt by
Tenant of a statement for such underpayment, it being understood that
this clause shall survive the expiration of the Lease.
B. Basic Costs shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred in each
calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing,
managing and owning the Building and the Property, including, but not
limited to, the following:
1. All labor costs for all persons performing services required or
utilized in connection with the operation, repair, replacement and
maintenance of and control of access to the Building and the
Property, including but not limited to amounts incurred for wages,
salaries and other compensation for services, payroll, social
security, unemployment and other similar taxes, workers'
compensation insurance, uniforms, training, disability benefits,
pensions, hospitalization, retirement plans, group insurance or
any other similar or like expenses or benefits.
2. All reasonable management fees (not to exceed 10% of Landlord's
gross revenues from the operation of the Building), the cost of
equipping and maintaining a management office at the Building,
accounting services, legal fees not attributable to leasing and
collection activity, and all other administrative costs relating
to the Building and the Property. If management services are not
provided by a third party, Landlord shall be entitled to a
management fee comparable to that due and payable to third parties
provided Landlord or management companies owned by, or management
divisions of, Landlord perform actual management services of a
comparable nature and type as normally would be performed by third
parties.
3. All rental and/or purchase costs of materials, supplies, tools and
equipment used in the operation, repair, replacement and
maintenance and the control of access to the Building and the
Property.
4. All amounts charged to Landlord by contractors and/or suppliers
for services, replacement parts, components, materials, equipment
and supplies furnished in connection with the operation, repair,
maintenance, replacement of and control of access to any part of
the Building, or the Property generally, including the heating,
air conditioning, ventilating, plumbing, electrical, elevator and
other systems and equipment. At Landlord's option, major repair
items may be amortized over a period of up to five (5) years.
5. All premiums and deductibles paid by Landlord for fire and
extended coverage insurance, earthquake and extended coverage
insurance, liability and extended coverage insurance, rental loss
insurance, elevator insurance, boiler insurance and other
insurance customarily carried from time to time by landlords of
comparable office buildings or required to be carried by
Landlord's Mortgagee.
6. Charges for all utilities, including but not limited to water,
electricity, gas and sewer, but excluding those charges for which
Landlord is otherwise reimbursed by tenants.
7. "Taxes," which for purposes hereof, shall mean: (a) all real
estate taxes and assessments on the Property, the Building or the
Premises, and taxes and assessments levied in substitution or
supplementation in whole or in part of such taxes, (b) all
personal property taxes for the Building's personal property,
including license expenses, (c) all taxes imposed on services of
Landlord's agents and employees, (d) all other taxes, fees or
assessments now or hereafter levied by any governmental authority
on the Property, the Building or its contents or on the operation
7
and use thereof (except as relate to specific tenants), and (e)
all costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking reductions
in or refunds in Taxes including, without limitation, any costs
incurred by Landlord to challenge the tax valuation of the
Building, but excluding income taxes. For the purpose of
determining real estate taxes and assessments for any given
calendar year, the amount to be included in Taxes for such year
shall be as follows: (1) with respect to any special assessment
that is payable in installments, Taxes for such year shall include
the amount of the installment (and any interest) due and payable
during such year; and (2) with respect to all other real estate
taxes, Taxes for such year shall, at Landlord's election, include
either the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for such
year or the amount due and payable for such year, provided that
Landlord's election shall be applied consistently throughout the
Lease Term. If a reduction in Taxes is obtained for any year of
the Lease Term during which Tenant paid its Pro Rata Share of
Basic Costs, then Basic Costs for such year will be retroactively
adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any,
based on such adjustment. Likewise, if a reduction is subsequently
obtained for Basic Costs for the Base Year (if Tenant's Pro Rata
Share is based upon increases in Basic Costs over a Base Year),
Basic Costs for the Base Year shall be restated and the Excess for
all subsequent years recomputed. Tenant shall pay to Landlord
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any such increase in the Excess within
thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of a statement therefor
from Landlord. The provisions of this Paragraph 7. regarding the
readjustment of prior years during the Lease Term due to
subsequent reductions in Taxes shall survive the expiration of the
Lease.
8. All landscape expenses and costs of maintaining, repairing,
resurfacing and striping of the parking areas and garages of the
Property, if any.
9. Cost of all maintenance service agreements, including those for
equipment, alarm service, window cleaning, drapery or venetian
blind cleaning, janitorial services, pest control, uniform supply,
plant maintenance, landscaping, and any parking equipment.
10. Cost of all other repairs, replacements and general maintenance of
the Property and Building neither specified above nor directly
billed to tenants.
11. The amortized cost of capital improvements made to the Building or
the Property which are: (a) primarily for the purpose of reducing
operating expense costs or otherwise improving the operating
efficiency of the Property or Building; or (b) required to comply
with any laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority
or a requirement of Landlord's insurance carrier. The cost of such
capital improvements shall be amortized over a period of five (5)
years and shall, at Landlord's option, include interest at a rate
that is reasonably equivalent to the interest rate that Landlord
would be required to pay to finance the cost of the capital
improvement in question as of the date such capital improvement is
performed, provided if the payback period for any capital
improvement is less than five (5) years, Landlord may amortize the
cost of such capital improvement over the payback period.
12. Any other reasonable expense or charge of any nature whatsoever
which, in accordance with general industry practice with respect
to the operation of a similar first- class office building located
in the Indianapolis metropolitan area, would be construed as an
operating expense.
Basic Costs shall not include the cost of capital improvements (except
as set forth above and as distinguished from replacement parts or
components purchased and installed in the ordinary course),
depreciation, interest (except as provided above with respect to the
amortization of capital improvements), lease commissions, and
principal payments on mortgage and other non-operating debts of
Landlord. If the Building is not at least ninety-five percent (95%)
occupied during any calendar year of the Lease Term or if Landlord is
not supplying services to at least ninety-five percent
8
(95%) of the total Rentable Area of the Building at any time during
any calendar year of the Lease Term, actual Basic Costs for purposes
hereof shall, at Landlord's option, be determined as if the Building
had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been
supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area
of the Building during such year. If Tenant pays for its Pro Rata
Share of Basic Costs based on increases over a "Base Year" and Basic
Costs for any calendar year during the Lease Term are determined as
provided in the foregoing sentence, Basic Costs for such Base Year
shall also be determined as if the Building had been ninety-five
percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to
ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building. Any
necessary extrapolation of Basic Costs under this Article shall be
performed by adjusting the cost of those components of Basic Costs
that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the Building
(including, at Landlord's option, Taxes) to the cost that would have
been incurred if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%)
occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to ninety-five
percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building.
C. If Basic Costs for any calendar year increase by more than five
percent (5%) over Basic Costs for the immediately preceding calendar
year, Tenant, within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord's
statement of actual Basic Costs for a particular calendar year, shall
have the right to provide Landlord with written notice (the "Review
Notice") of its intent to review Landlord's books and records relating
to the Basic Costs for such calendar year. Within a reasonable time
after receipt of a timely Review Notice, Landlord shall make such
books and records available to Tenant or Tenant's agent for its review
at either Landlord's home office or at the office of the Building,
provided that if Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord's books
and records for any calendar year, such agent must be a CPA firm
licensed to do business in the state in which the Building is located
or an employee of Tenant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any
and all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Tenant or Tenant's agent
in connection with such review. If Tenant elects to review Landlord's
books and records, within thirty (30) days after such books and
records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to
give Landlord written notice stating in reasonable detail any
objection to Landlord's statement of actual Basic Costs for such
calendar year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of
objection within such thirty (30) day period or fails to provide
Landlord with a Review Notice within the ninety (90) day period
provided above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord's
statement of Basic Costs in all respects and shall thereafter be
barred from raising any claims with respect thereto. Upon Landlord's
receipt of a timely objection notice from Tenant, Landlord and Tenant
shall work together in good faith to resolve the discrepancy between
Landlord's statement and Tenant's review. If Landlord and Tenant
determine that Basic Costs for the calendar year in question are less
than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against
future Additional Base Rental in the amount of any overpayment by
Tenant. In the event that it is determined Tenant's overpayment of
Basic Costs exceeded five percent (5%) of Tenant's actual Pro Rata
Share of Basic Costs for the particular calendar year subject to
Tenant's review, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's
reasonable and direct costs of Tenant's review. Likewise, if Landlord
and Tenant determine that Basic Costs for the calendar year in
question are greater than reported, Tenant shall forthwith pay to
Landlord the amount of underpayment by Tenant. Any information
obtained by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be
treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Tenant shall not be permitted to examine Landlord's books
and records or to dispute any statement of Basic Costs unless Tenant
has paid to Landlord the amount due as shown on Landlord's statement
of actual Basic Costs, said payment being a condition precedent to
Tenant's right to examine Landlord's books and records.
D. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord during the Lease Term,
without any setoff or deduction whatsoever except as expressly
provided in
9
this Lease to the contrary, the full amount of all Base Rental and
Additional Base Rental due hereunder. In addition, Tenant shall pay
and be liable for, as additional rent, all rental, sales and use taxes
or other similar taxes, if any, levied or imposed by any city, state,
county or other governmental body having authority, such payments to
be in addition to all other payments required to be paid to Landlord
by Tenant under the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any such
payments shall be paid concurrently with the payments of the Rent on
which the tax is based. The Base Rental, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Basic Costs and any recurring monthly charges due hereunder shall be
due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month
during the Lease Term without demand, provided that the installment of
Base Rental for the first full calendar month of the Lease Term shall
be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items
of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before ten (10) days
after billing by Landlord. If the Lease Term commences on a day other
than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on a day other
than the last day of a calendar month, then the monthly Base Rental
and Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs for such month shall be
prorated for the number of days in such month occurring within the
Term based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
of the Lease Term that fell within such calendar month and the
denominator of which is thirty (30). All such payments shall be by a
good and sufficient check. No payment by Tenant or receipt or
acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct amount of
Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a payment
on account of the earliest Rent due hereunder, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any
check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord
may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right
to recover the balance or pursue any other available remedy. The
acceptance by Landlord of any Rent on a date after the due date of
such payment shall not be construed to be a waiver of Landlord's right
to declare an event of default for any other late payment. Tenant's
covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant set
forth in this Lease.
E. All Rent not paid when due and payable shall bear interest from the
date due until paid (provided Tenant shall be entitled to a grace
period of ten (10) days with respect to the first two (2) late
payments in any calendar year) at the Maximum Rate. In addition, if
Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent when due and payable
hereunder (provided Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of ten
(10) days with respect to the first two (2) late payments in any
calendar year), a service fee equal to five percent (5%) of such
unpaid amount will be due and payable immediately by Tenant to
Landlord.
V. USE.
The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use and for no other
purpose. Tenant agrees not to use or permit the use of the Premises for any
purpose which is illegal, dangerous to life, limb or property or which, in
Landlord's reasonable opinion, creates a nuisance or which would increase the
cost of insurance coverage with respect to the Building. Tenant shall conduct
its business and control its agents, servants, contractors, employees,
customers, licensees, and invitees in such a manner as not to interfere with,
annoy or disturb other tenants, or in any way interfere with Landlord in the
management and operation of the Building. Tenant will maintain the Premises in a
clean and healthful condition, and comply, provided that such compliance does
not materially and adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises, with all laws,
ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any governmental entity with
reference to the operation of Tenant's business and to the use, condition,
configuration or occupancy of the Premises, including without limitation, the
Americans with Disabilities Act (collectively referred to as "Laws"). Tenant,
within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, shall provide Landlord with copies
of any notices it receives with respect to a violation or alleged violation of
any Laws. Tenant will comply with the rules and regulations of the Building
attached hereto as Exhibit B and such other rules and regulations adopted and
altered by Landlord from time to time and will cause all of its agents,
servants, contractors,
10
employees, customers, licensees and invitees to do so. All changes to such rules
and regulations will be reasonable and shall be sent by Landlord to Tenant in
writing at least ten (10) days prior to their effective date. Landlord shall
make reasonable efforts to enforce all such rules and regulations in a
non-discriminatory and uniform manner.
VI. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
The Security Deposit shall be in the form of a letter of credit (the
"Letter of Credit"), which Letter of Credit shall be deposited with Landlord
within ten (10) business days following execution of this Lease by both Landlord
and Tenant and shall (a) be in the amount of $40,000.00, (b) be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (c) name Landlord as its
beneficiary, (d) expressly allow Landlord to draw upon it at any time or from
time to time following an event of monetary default by delivering to the issuer
written notice that Landlord is entitled to draw thereunder whatever amount is
in default pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (e) expire no earlier than the
fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date of this Lease; provided that if
Tenant is in default under the terms of this Lease at any time during the first
five years of the Lease Term, even if Tenant cures said default, Tenant will be
required to maintain the Security Deposit with Landlord in the form of the
Letter of Credit for two (2) additional years following the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Commencement Date for the first such default and for the
entire Lease Term if a second default occurs during the first seven (7) years of
the Lease Term, and (f) be drawn on an FDIC-insured financial institution
satisfactory to Landlord. The Security Deposit shall not be considered an
advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant's liability for damages.
Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all
or a portion of the Security Deposit to make good any arrearages of Rent, to
repair damages to the Premises, to clean the Premises upon termination of this
Lease or otherwise to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of Tenant
hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall
immediately restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Landlord
transfers its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term, Landlord may
assign its right to the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter shall
have no further liability for the return of such Security Deposit. Tenant agrees
to look solely to such transferee or assignee for the return of the Security
Deposit. Landlord and its successors and assigns shall not be bound by any
actual or attempted assignment or encumbrance of the Security Deposit by Tenant.
VII. SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED BY LANDLORD.
A. Landlord, as part of Basic Costs (except as otherwise provided),
agrees to furnish Tenant the following services typically afforded to tenants in
similar first class office buildings located in the Indianapolis metropolitan
area.
1. Hot and cold water for use in the lavatories on the floor(s) on
which the Premises is located. If Tenant desires water in the
Premises for any approved reason, including a private lavatory or
kitchen, cold water shall be supplied as part of Basic Costs
(except as otherwise provided) from the Building water main
through a line and fixtures installed at Tenant's sole cost and
expense with the prior reasonable consent of Landlord. If Tenant
desires hot water in the Premises, Tenant, at its sole cost and
expense and subject to the prior reasonable consent of Landlord,
may install a hot water heater in the Premises. Tenant shall be
solely responsible for maintenance and repair of any such hot
water heater.
2. Central heat and air conditioning in season twenty-four (24) hours
a day, 365/6 days per year, at such temperatures and in such
amounts as are considered by Landlord, in its reasonable judgment,
to be standard for buildings of similar class, size, age and
location in the Indianapolis metropolitan area, or as required by
governmental authority.
3. Maintenance and repair of all Common Areas in the manner and to
the extent reasonably deemed by Landlord to be standard for
buildings of similar class, size, age and location in the
Indianapolis metropolitan area.
11
4. Janitor service on Business Days in accordance with the cleaning
specifications attached hereto as Exhibit "F", or such other
comparable specifications designated, from time to time, by
Landlord provided, however, if Tenant's use, floor covering or
other improvements require special services, Tenant shall pay the
additional cost reasonably attributable thereto as Additional Base
Rental.
5. Passenger elevator service in common with other tenants of the
Building, provided that, subject to Force Majeure, at least one
(1) passenger elevator servicing the Premises shall be available
for the use of Tenant, twenty-four (24) hours a day, 365/6 days
per year.
6. Electricity to the Premises for general office use, in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article
XI of this Lease.
7. Lighting in the parking areas of the Property.
B. The failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish, or the interruption
or termination of, any services in whole or in part, resulting from
adherence to laws, regulations and administrative orders, wear, use,
repairs, improvements, alterations or any causes beyond the reasonable
control of Landlord shall not render Landlord liable in any respect
nor be construed as a constructive eviction of Tenant, nor give rise
to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to
fulfill any covenant or agreement hereof. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section VII.B. if: (i) Landlord ceases
to furnish any service in the Building for a period in excess of
thirty (30) consecutive days after Tenant notifies Landlord of such
cessation (the "Interruption Notice"), (ii) such cessation does not
arise as a result of an act or omission of Tenant, (iii) such
cessation is not caused by a fire or other casualty (in which case
Article XIX shall control), (iv) the restoration of such service is
reasonably within the control of Landlord, and (v) as a result of such
cessation, the Premises or a material portion thereof, is rendered
untenantable (meaning that Tenant is unable to use the Premises in the
normal course of its business) and Tenant in fact ceases to use the
Premises, or material portion thereof, then Tenant, as its sole
remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Base Rental and
Additional Base Rental payable hereunder during the period beginning
on the thirty-first (31st) consecutive day of such cessation and
ending on the day when the service in question has been restored. In
the event the entire Premises has not been rendered untenantable by
the cessation in service, the amount of abatement that Tenant is
entitled to receive shall be prorated based upon the percentage of the
Premises so rendered untenantable and not used by Tenant. Should any
of the equipment or machinery used in the provision of such services
for any cause cease to function properly, Landlord shall use
reasonable diligence to repair such equipment or machinery as soon as
reasonably possible.
C. Tenant expressly acknowledges that if Landlord, from time to time,
elects to provide security services, Landlord shall not be deemed to
have warranted the efficiency of any security personnel, service,
procedures or equipment and Landlord shall not be liable in any manner
for the failure of any such security personnel, services, procedures
or equipment to prevent or control, or apprehend anyone suspected of
personal injury, property damage or any criminal conduct in, on or
around the Property.
VIII. LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS.
Any trade fixtures, unattached and movable equipment or furniture, or
other personalty brought into the Premises by Tenant ("Tenant's Property") shall
be owned and insured by Tenant. Tenant shall remove all such Tenant's Property
from the Premises in accordance with the terms of Article XXXV hereof. Any and
all alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises, including any
built-in furniture (collectively, "Leasehold Improvements") shall be owned and
insured by Landlord and shall remain upon the Premises, all without
compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant. Landlord may, nonetheless, at any
time within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease or Tenant's right to possession, require Tenant to remove any Leasehold
Improvements performed by or for the benefit of Tenant and all electronic,
12
phone and data cabling as are designated by Landlord (the "Required Removables")
at Tenant's sole cost. In the event that Landlord so elects, Tenant shall remove
such Required Removables within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord,
provided that in no event shall Tenant be required to remove such Required
Removables prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or
Tenant's right to possession. In addition to Tenant's obligation to remove the
Required Removables, Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal and
perform such other work as is reasonably necessary to restore the Premises to a
"move in" condition, normal wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to remove
any specified Required Removables or to perform any required repairs and
restoration within the time period specified above, Landlord, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, may remove, store, sell and/or dispose of the Required
Removables and perform such required repairs and restoration work. Tenant,
within five (5) days after demand from Landlord, shall reimburse Landlord for
any and all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the
Required Removables.
IX. GRAPHICS.
Landlord shall provide and install, at Tenant's cost, any suite numbers
and Tenant identification on the exterior of the Premises and on the lobby
directory of the Building using the standard graphics for the Building. Tenant
shall not be permitted to install any signs or other identification without
Landlord's prior written consent.
X. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.
A. Except to the extent such obligations are imposed upon Landlord
hereunder, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform all
maintenance and repairs to the Premises as are necessary to keep the
same in good condition and repair throughout the entire Lease Term,
reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant's repair and maintenance
obligations with respect to the Premises shall include, without
limitation, any necessary repairs (except to the extent such repairs
are necessitated by Landlord's or Landlord's agents negligent acts)
with respect to: (1) any carpet or other floor covering, (2) any
interior partitions, (3) any doors, (4) the interior side of any
demising walls, (5) any telephone and computer cabling that serves
Tenant's equipment exclusively, (6) any supplemental air conditioning
units, private showers and kitchens, including any plumbing in
connection therewith, and similar facilities serving Tenant
exclusively, and (7) any alterations, additions or improvements
performed by contractors retained by Tenant. All such work shall be
performed in accordance with section X.B. below and the rules,
policies and procedures reasonably enacted by Landlord from time to
time for the performance of work in the Building. If Tenant fails to
make any necessary repairs to the Premises, Landlord may, at its
option and with twenty (20) days prior notice to Tenant, make such
repairs, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to the Landlord on
demand as Additional Base Rental, together with an administrative
charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of such
repairs. Landlord shall, at its expense (except as included in Basic
Costs), keep and maintain in good repair and working order and make
all repairs to and perform necessary maintenance upon: (a) all
structural elements of the Building; and (b) all mechanical,
electrical and plumbing systems that serve the Building in general;
and (c) the Building facilities common to all tenants including, but
not limited to, the ceilings, walls and floors in the Common Areas.
B. Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, additions
or improvements to the Premises without first obtaining the written
consent of Landlord in each such instance. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required for any
alteration, addition or improvement that satisfies all of the
following criteria: 1) costs less than $15,000.00, 2) is of a
cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures and
installing carpeting, 3) is not visible from the exterior of the
Premises or Building, and 4) will not affect the systems or structure
of the Building and does not require work to be performed inside the
walls or above the ceiling of the Premises; provided that even if
consent is not
13
required, Tenant shall still comply with all the other provisions of
this Section X.B. Prior to commencing any such work and as a condition
to obtaining Landlord's consent, Tenant must furnish Landlord with
plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord; names and
addresses of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord; copies of
contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor's
and subcontractor's insurance in accordance with Article XVI section
B. hereof; and payment bond or other security, all in form and amount
satisfactory to Landlord. All such improvements, alterations or
additions shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using
Building Standard materials or other new materials of equal or greater
quality. Landlord, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any
disruption to the tenants and occupants of the Building, shall have
the right to designate the time when any such alterations, additions
and improvements may be performed and to otherwise designate
reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of
work in the Building. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish "as-built"
plans, contractor's affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and
receipted bills covering all labor and materials. All improvements,
alterations and additions shall comply with all insurance
requirements, codes, ordinances, laws and regulations, including
without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord upon demand as Additional Base Rental for all sums,
if any, expended by Landlord for third party examination of the
architectural, mechanical, electric and plumbing plans for any
alterations, additions or improvements. In addition, if Landlord so
requests, Landlord shall (except for the initial Landlord Work set
forth in Exhibit D attached hereto) be entitled to oversee the
construction of any alterations, additions or improvements that may
affect the structure of the Building or any of the mechanical,
electrical, plumbing or life safety systems of the Building. In the
event Landlord elects to oversee such work, Landlord shall be entitled
to receive a fee for such oversight in an amount equal to fifteen
percent (15%) of the cost of such alterations, additions or
improvements. Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans and specifications
for any work performed for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed
to be a representation by Landlord that such plans and specifications
comply with applicable insurance requirements, building codes,
ordinances, laws or regulations or that the alterations, additions and
improvements constructed in accordance with such plans and
specifications will be adequate for Tenant's use.
XI. USE OF ELECTRICAL SERVICES BY TENANT.
A. All electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall be paid for by
Tenant through inclusion in Base Rental or Basic Costs. Tenant's use
of electrical service in the Premises shall not exceed, either in
voltage, rated capacity, use of overall load, 1.9 xxxxx per square
foot for lighting and 2.9 xxxxx per square foot for general power
("Building Standard Power"). In the event Tenant shall consume (or
request that it be allowed to consume) electrical service in excess of
the Building Standard Power, Landlord may refuse to provide such
excess usage or refuse to consent to such usage or may consent upon
such conditions as Landlord reasonably elects (including the
installation of utility service upgrades, submeters, air handlers or
cooling units), and all such additional usage (to the extent permitted
by law), installation and maintenance thereof shall be paid for by
Tenant as Additional Base Rental. Landlord shall have the right to
separately meter electrical usage for the Premises at any time during
the Lease Term or to use any other method of measuring electrical
usage that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, deems to be
appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the use of normal amounts
of the following low electrical consumption office equipment shall
not, by itself, be deemed to create an electrical usage that is in
excess of the standards for the Building: typewriters, dictation
machines, calculators, copiers, word processing equipment and personal
computers.
B. If Landlord generates or distributes electric current for the
Building, Tenant
14
shall obtain all current from Landlord and pay as Additional Base
Rental Landlord's charges therefor. Landlord may cease to furnish
electricity upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, provided
within the thirty (30) days' Landlord connects with another source of
electric supply.
XII. ENTRY BY LANDLORD.
Landlord and its agents or representatives shall have the right to
enter the Premises to inspect the same, or to show the Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagees, tenants (during the last twelve months of the Lease Term
or earlier in connection with a potential relocation) or insurers, or to clean
or make repairs, alterations or additions thereto, including any work that
Landlord deems necessary for the safety, protection or preservation of the
Building or any occupants thereof, or to facilitate repairs, alterations or
additions to the Building or any other tenants' premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except in emergency situations as determined by Landlord, Landlord
shall exercise reasonable efforts (1) not to unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of the business of Tenant on the Premises and (2) if entry during Normal
Business Hours would unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business, to affect
such entry during hours other than Normal Business Hours, unless such entry is
necessitated by the acts or omissions of Tenant or the performance of Landlord's
obligations hereunder and, by performing work during non-business hours,
Landlord would be required to have building personnel remain in the Building
after normal working hours or to pay its contractors overtime. Except for any
entry by Landlord in an emergency situation or to provide normal cleaning and
janitorial service, Landlord shall provide Tenant with not less than 24 hour
prior notice to Tenant's Vice President of Human Resources, if available, or
such shorter period as may be verbally agreed to by Tenant or its representative
on a case by case basis. If reasonably necessary for the protection and safety
of Tenant and its employees, Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close
the Premises to perform repairs, alterations or additions in the Premises,
provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to perform all such work on
weekends and after Normal Business Hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Landlord temporarily closes the Premises as provided above, Tenant, as its sole
remedy, shall be entitled to receive a per diem abatement of Base Rent and
Additional Rent during such temporary closure, provided that Tenant shall not be
entitled to an abatement if the repairs, alterations and/or additions to be
performed are required as a result of (1) anything done by Tenant, its agents,
employees or contractors; (2) any activities of Tenant, its agents, employees or
contractors in, on or about the Premises; (3) the use of the Premises by Tenant,
or (4) a default by Tenant in its maintenance and repair obligations under the
Lease. Entry by Landlord hereunder shall not constitute a constructive
eviction or entitle Tenant to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason
thereof.
XIII. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
A. Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber this Lease or
any interest therein or grant any license, concession or other right
of occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof or otherwise
permit the use of the Premises or any portion thereof by any party
other than Tenant (any of which events is hereinafter called a
"Transfer") without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to any
proposed assignment or subletting. Landlord's consent shall not be
considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee's
financial responsibility does not meet the same criteria Landlord uses
to select Building tenants; (2) the proposed transferee's business is
not suitable for the Building considering the business of the other
tenants and the Building's prestige or would result in a violation of
an exclusive right granted to another tenant in the Building; (3) the
proposed use is different than the Permitted Use; (4) the proposed
transferee is a government agency or occupant of the Building; (5)
Tenant is in default; or (6) any portion of the Building or Premises
would become subject to additional or different governmental laws or
regulations as a consequence of the proposed Transfer and/or the
proposed transferee's use and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant
acknowledges that the foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive
list of the reasons for which Landlord may reasonably withhold
15
its consent to a proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord will not withhold its consent solely because the proposed
subtenant or assignee is an occupant of the Building if Landlord does
not have space available for lease in the Building that is comparable
to the space Tenant desires to sublet or assign. For purposes hereof,
Landlord shall be deemed to have comparable space if it has space
available on any floor of the Building that is approximately the same
size as the space Tenant desires to sublet or assign. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant may assign its
entire interest under this Lease or sublet the Premises to a wholly
owned corporation or controlled subsidiary or parent of Tenant or to
any successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or
reorganization (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Corporate
Transfer") without the consent of Landlord, provided: (i) Tenant is
not in default under this Lease; (ii) if such proposed transferee is a
successor to Tenant by purchase, said proposed transferee shall
acquire all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant's
business or, if such proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by
merger, consolidation or reorganization, the continuing or surviving
corporation shall own all or substantially all of the assets of
Tenant; (iii) if such proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by
purchase, consolidation, merger or reorganization, such proposed
transferee shall have a net worth which is at least equal to the
greater of Tenant's net worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant's
net worth at the date of the Transfer; (iv) such proposed transferee
operates the business in the Premises for the Permitted Use and no
other purpose; and (v) in no event shall any Transfer release or
relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant
shall give Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to
the effective date of such Corporate Transfer. As used herein, the
terms "controlled" or "subsidiary" shall mean a corporate entity
wholly owned by Tenant or at least fifty-one percent (51%) of whose
voting stock is owned by Tenant. Any attempted Transfer in violation
of the terms of this Article shall, at Landlord's option, be void.
Consent by Landlord to one or more Transfers shall not operate as a
waiver of Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers. In
addition, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's consent, publicly
advertise the proposed rental rate for any Transfer.
B. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a Transfer, Tenant, together
with such consent, shall provide Landlord with the name of the
proposed transferee and the nature of the business of the proposed
transferee, the term, use, rental rate and all other material terms
and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including, without
limitation, a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or other
contractual documents and evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the
proposed transferee is financially responsible. Notwithstanding
Landlord's agreement to act reasonably under Section XIII.A. above,
Landlord may, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of all
information and documentation required herein, either, (1) consent to
or reasonably refuse to consent to such Transfer in writing; or (2)
negotiate directly with the proposed transferee and in the event
Landlord is able to reach an agreement with such proposed transferee,
terminate this Lease (in part or in whole, as appropriate) upon thirty
(30) days' notice; or (3) cancel and terminate this Lease, in whole or
in part as appropriate, upon thirty (30) days' notice. In the event
Landlord consents to any such Transfer, the Transfer and consent
thereto shall be in a form approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall
(except with respect to a Corporate Transfer) bear all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the review and
approval of such documentation, which costs and expenses shall not
exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00).
C. All cash or other proceeds (the "Transfer Consideration") of any
Transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease and/or the Premises,
whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall be paid to Landlord and
Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have or ever acquire in any
such proceeds to Landlord. In addition to the Rent hereunder, Tenant
hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord all rent and other
consideration which it receives which is in excess of the Rent payable
hereunder within ten (10) days following receipt
16
thereof by Tenant. In addition to any other rights Landlord may have,
Landlord shall have the right to contact any transferee and require
that all payments made pursuant to the Transfer shall, at Tenant's
option, be made directly to Landlord.
D. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
E. Any Transfer consented to by Landlord in accordance with this Article
XIII shall be only for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose. In
no event shall any Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any
obligations under this Lease.
XIV. LIENS.
Tenant will not permit any mechanic's liens or other liens to be placed
upon the Premises or Tenant's leasehold interest therein, the Building, or the
Property. Landlord's title to the Building and Property is and always shall be
paramount to the interest of Tenant, and nothing herein contained shall empower
Tenant to do any act that can, shall or may encumber Landlord's title. In the
event any such lien does attach, Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days of
notice of the filing of said lien, either discharge or bond over such lien to
the satisfaction of Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined),
and in such a manner as to remove the lien as an encumbrance against the
Building and Property. If Tenant shall fail to so discharge or bond over such
lien, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may,
but shall not be obligated to bond over or discharge the same. Any amount paid
by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, including reasonable attorneys'
fees (if and to the extent permitted by law) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
on demand as Additional Base Rental. Landlord shall have the right to post and
keep posted on the Premises any notices that may be provided by law or which
Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises and
the Building from such liens.
XV. INDEMNITY AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS.
A. Except for losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties,
claims, costs, charges, and expenses resulting from the negligence of
Landlord and/or its agents, employees or contractors, and subject to
the provisions of Article XVII hereof, Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord, its members, principals, beneficiaries, partners,
officers, directors, employees, Mortgagee(s) and agents, and the
respective principals and members of any such agents (collectively the
"Landlord Related Parties") harmless against and from all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other
professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by law), which may
be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord or any of
the Landlord Related Parties and arising, directly or indirectly, out
of or in connection with the use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises by, through or under Tenant including, without limitation,
any of the following: (1) any work or thing done in, on or about the
Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any of its transferees,
agents, servants, contractors, employees, customers, licensees or
invitees; (2) any use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition,
operation or maintenance of the Premises or any part thereof; (3) any
act or omission of Tenant or any of its transferees, agents, servants,
contractors, employees, customers, licensees or invitees, regardless
of whether such act or omission occurred within the Premises; (4) any
injury or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about
the Premises or any part thereof; or (5) any failure on the part of
Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements,
terms or conditions contained in this Lease with which Tenant must
comply or perform. In case any action or proceeding is brought against
Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties by reason of any of
the foregoing, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, resist
and defend such action or proceeding with counsel approved by Landlord
or, at Landlord's option, reimburse Landlord for the cost of any
counsel retained directly by Landlord to defend and resist such action
or proceeding.
17
B. Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties shall not be liable for, and
Tenant hereby waives, all claims for loss or damage to Tenant's
business or damage to person or property sustained by Tenant or any
person claiming by, through or under Tenant (including Tenant's
employees) resulting from any accident or occurrence in, on or about
the Premises, the Building or the Property, including, without
limitation, claims for loss, theft or damage resulting from: (1) the
Premises, Building, or Property, or any equipment or appurtenances
becoming out of repair; (2) wind or weather; (3) any defect in or
failure to operate, for whatever reason, any sprinkler, heating or
air-conditioning equipment, electric wiring, gas, water or steam
pipes; (4) broken glass; (5) the backing up of any sewer pipe or
downspout; (6) the bursting, leaking or running of any tank, water
closet, drain or other pipe; (7) the escape of steam or water; (8)
water, snow or ice being upon or coming through the roof, skylight,
stairs, doorways, windows, walks or any other place upon or near the
Building; (9) the falling of any fixture, plaster, tile or other
material; (10) any act, omission or negligence of other tenants,
licensees or any other persons or occupants of the Building or of
adjoining or contiguous buildings, or owners of adjacent or contiguous
property or the public, or by construction of any private, public or
quasi-public work; or (11) any other cause of any nature except, as to
items 1 9, where such loss or damage is due to Landlord's or
Landlord's Related Parties' negligence or willful failure to make
repairs required to be made pursuant to other provisions of this
Lease, after the expiration of a reasonable time after written notice
to Landlord of the need for such repairs. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to
use such other portions of the Building as Tenant is herein given the
right to use, at Tenant's own risk.
C. Except for losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties,
claims, costs, charges and expenses resulting from the negligence of
Tenant and/or its agents, employees or contractors, and subject to the
provisions of Article XVII hereof, Landlord shall indemnify, defend
and hold Tenant, its principals, agents and employees (collectively
the "Tenant Related Parties") harmless from and against all
liabilities, obligations, damages (other than consequential damages),
penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be imposed upon,
incurred by, or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related
Parties and arising, directly or indirectly, out of or in connection
with any of the following:(i) any work or thing done in, on or about
the Common Areas or any part thereof by Landlord or any of its agents,
contractors or employees; (ii) any use, non- use, possession,
occupation, condition, operation, maintenance or management of the
Common Areas or any part thereof by Landlord or any of its agents,
contractors or employees (iii) any act or omission of Landlord or any
of its agents, contractors or employees; and (iv) any injury or damage
to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Common Areas
or any part thereof; provided, however, that in each case such
liability, obligation, damage, penalty, claim, cost, charge or expense
results from the negligence of Landlord and/or its agents, employees
or contractors.
D. Subject to the provisions of Articles X, XXII and XXIII hereof, Tenant
and the Tenant Related Parties shall not be liable for, and Landlord
waives, all claims for loss or damage to Landlord's business or damage
to person or property sustained by Landlord or any person claiming by,
through or under Landlord (including Landlord's employees) resulting
from any accident or occurrence in, on or about the Premises, the
Building or the Property, including, without limitation, claims for
loss, theft or damage resulting from: (1) the Premises, Building, or
Property, or any equipment or appurtenances becoming out of repair:
(2) wind or weather; (3) any defect in or failure to operate, for
whatever reason, any sprinkler, heating or air-conditioning equipment,
electric wiring, gas, water or steam pipes; (4) broken glass; (5) the
backing up of any sewer pipe or downspout; (6) the bursting, leaking
or running of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe; (7) the

any private, public or quasi-public work; or (11) any other
18
cause of any nature except, as to items (1) - (9), where such loss or
damage is due to Tenant's negligence or willful failure to make
repairs required to be made pursuant to other provisions of this
Lease.
XVI. TENANT'S INSURANCE.
A. At all times commencing on and after the earlier of the Commencement
Date and the date Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors
enters the Premises for any purpose, Tenant shall carry and maintain,
at its sole cost and expense:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance applicable to the Premises
and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum
combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00).
2. All Risks of Physical Loss Insurance written at replacement cost
value and with a replacement cost endorsement covering all of
Tenant's Property in the Premises except for Tenant's electronic
and data processing equipment which shall be covered by All Risks
of Physical Loss Insurance with a minimum limit of Four Hundred
Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($465,000.00).
3. Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by the state in which
the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by
applicable statute.
4. Whenever good business practice, in Landlord's reasonable
judgment, indicates the need of additional insurance coverage or
different types of insurance in connection with the Premises or
Tenant's use and occupancy thereof, and provided such requirement
for additional insurance is consistent with those requirements by
other landlords of similar class buildings in the Indianapolis
metropolitan area for similarly situated tenants.Tenant shall,
upon request, obtain such insurance at Tenant's expense and
provide Landlord with evidence thereof.
B. Except for items for which Landlord is responsible under the Work
Letter Agreement, before any repairs, alterations, additions,
improvements, or construction are undertaken by or on behalf of
Tenant, Tenant shall carry and maintain, at its expense, or Tenant
shall require any contractor performing work on the Premises to carry
and maintain, at no expense to Landlord, in addition to workers'
compensation insurance as required by the jurisdiction in which the
Building is located, All Risk Builder's Risk Insurance in the amount
of the replacement cost of any alterations, additions or improvements
(or such other amount reasonably required by Landlord) and Commercial
General Liability Insurance (including, without limitation,
Contractor's Liability coverage, Contractual Liability coverage and
Completed Operations coverage,) written on an occurrence basis with a
minimum combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00)
and adding the "owner(s) of the Building and its (or their) agents and
mortgagee(s)" as additional insureds.
C. Any company writing any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain
or cause to be maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease (all
such insurance as well as any other insurance pertaining to the
Premises or the operation of Tenant's business therein being referred
to as "Tenant's Insurance"), as well as the form of such insurance,
shall at all times be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, and
each such insurance company shall have an A.M. Best rating of "A-" or
better and shall be licensed and qualified to do business in the state
in which the Premises is located. All policies evidencing Tenant's
Insurance (except for Workers' Compensation and All Risks of Physical
Loss Insurance) shall specify Tenant as named insured and the
"owner(s) of the Building and its (or their) agents and mortgagee(s)"
as additional insureds. Provided that the coverage afforded Landlord
and any designees of Landlord shall not be reduced or otherwise
adversely affected, all of Tenant's Insurance may be carried under a
blanket policy covering the Premises and any other of Tenant's
locations. All policies of Tenant's Insurance shall contain
19
endorsements that the insurer(s) will give to Landlord and its
designees at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice of any
change, cancellation, termination or lapse of said insurance. Tenant
shall be solely responsible for payment of premiums for all of
Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the time Tenant's Insurance is first required to be
carried by Tenant, and upon renewals at least fifteen (15) days prior
to the expiration of any such insurance coverage, a certificate of
insurance of all policies procured by Tenant in compliance with its
obligations under this Lease. The limits of Tenant's Insurance shall
in no event limit Tenant's liability under this Lease.
D. Tenant shall not do or fail to do anything in, upon or about the
Premises which will: (1) violate the terms of any of Landlord's
insurance policies; (2) prevent Landlord from obtaining policies of
insurance acceptable to Landlord or any Mortgagees; or (3) result in
an increase in the rate of any insurance on the Premises, the
Building, any other property of Landlord or of others within the
Building. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events set
forth in this Section, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand, as
Additional Base Rental, the cost of the amount of any increase in any
such insurance premium, provided that the acceptance by Landlord of
such payment shall not be construed to be a waiver of any rights by
Landlord in connection with a default by Tenant under the Lease. If
Tenant fails to obtain the insurance coverage required by this Lease,
Landlord may, at its option, obtain such insurance for Tenant, and
Tenant shall pay, as Additional Base Rental, the cost of all premiums
thereon and all of Landlord's costs associated therewith.
XVII. SUBROGATION.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary,
Landlord and Tenant do hereby waive any and all right of recovery, claim, action
or cause of action against the other, their respective principals,
beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents, and employees, and, with
respect to Landlord, its Mortgagee(s), for any loss or damage that may occur to
Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to their respective property, the
Building, the Property or the Premises or any addition or improvements thereto,
or any contents therein, by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause,
regardless of cause or origin, including the negligence of Landlord or Tenant,
or their respective principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors,
agents and employees and, with respect to Landlord, its Mortgagee(s), which loss
or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been
carried) covered by insurance. Since this mutual waiver will preclude the
assignment of any such claim by subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance
company (or any other person), Landlord and Tenant each agree to give each
insurance company which has issued, or in the future may issue, policies of
insurance, with respect to the items covered by this waiver, written notice of
the terms of this mutual waiver, and to have such insurance policies properly
endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of any of the coverage
provided by such insurance policies by reason of such mutual waiver. For the
purpose of the foregoing waiver, the amount of any deductible applicable to any
loss or damage shall be deemed covered by, and recoverable by the insured under
the insurance policy to which such deductible relates. In the event that Tenant
is permitted to and self-insures any risk which would have been covered by the
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Article XVI of the Lease,
or if Tenant fails to carry any insurance required to be carried by Tenant
pursuant to Article XVI of this Lease, then all loss or damage to Tenant, its
leasehold interest, its business, its property, the Premises or any additions or
improvements thereto or contents thereof shall be deemed covered by and
recoverable by Tenant under valid and collectible policies of insurance.
XVIII. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE.
Landlord shall maintain property insurance on the Building in such
amounts as Landlord reasonably elects. The cost of such insurance shall be
included as a part of the Basic Costs, and payments for losses and recoveries
thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the Mortgagees of Landlord as
their interests shall appear.
20
XIX. CASUALTY DAMAGE.
If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other
casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. In case
the Building shall be so damaged that in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall be required
(whether or not the Premises has been damaged by such casualty) or in the event
Landlord will not be permitted by applicable law to rebuild the Building in
substantially the same form as existed prior to the fire or casualty or in the
event the Premises has been materially damaged and there is less than two (2)
years of the Lease Term remaining on the date of such casualty or in the event
any Mortgagee should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of
a casualty be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event of any
material uninsured loss to the Building, Landlord may, at its option, terminate
this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination as soon as
reasonably possible (taking into consideration all delays such as adjustment of
insurance claims and obtaining approval from Landlord mortgagee(s)), but in all
circumstances within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. Such
termination shall be effective as of the date of fire or casualty, with respect
to any portion of the Premises that was rendered untenantable, and the effective
date of termination specified in Landlord's notice, with respect to any portion
of the Premises that remained tenantable. If Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable
diligence to restore the Building (provided that Landlord shall not be required
to restore any unleased premises in the Building) and the Leasehold Improvements
(but excluding any improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant in
violation of this Lease) located within the Premises, if any, which Landlord has
insured to substantially the same condition they were in immediately prior to
the happening of the casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's
obligation to restore the Building, and the Leasehold Improvements, if any,
shall not require Landlord to expend for such repair and restoration work more
than the insurance proceeds actually received by the Landlord as a result of the
casualty, provided that if Landlord does not have sufficient proceeds to
substantially complete the restoration of the Leasehold Improvements in the
Premises and Landlord elects not to fund any shortfall, Landlord shall so notify
Tenant and Tenant, within ten (10) days thereafter, shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by the giving of written notice to Landlord. If Tenant
terminates this Lease in accordance with the preceding sentence, the parties
hereunder shall have no further obligations under this Lease effective on the
date of such termination. When repairs to the Premises have been completed by
Landlord, Tenant shall complete the restoration or replacement of all Tenant's
Property necessary to permit Tenant's reoccupancy of the Premises, and Tenant
shall present Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's
ability to pay such costs prior to Landlord's commencement of repair and
restoration of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XIX to the
contrary, if all or any portion of the Premises shall be made untenantable by a
fire or other casualty, Landlord shall with reasonable promptness, cause an
architect or general contractor selected by Landlord to estimate the amount of
time required to substantially complete repair and restoration of the Premises
and make the Premises tenantable again, using standard working methods (the
"Completion Estimate"). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises
cannot be made tenantable within nine (9) months from the date the repair and
restoration is started, either party shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by giving written notice to the other of such election within ten (10)
days after its receipt of the Completion Estimate. If the Completion Estimate
indicates that the Premises can be made tenantable within nine (9) months from
the date the repair and restoration is started and Landlord has not otherwise
exercised its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to the terms hereof, or if
the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made tenantable
within nine (9) months but neither party terminates this Lease pursuant to this
Article XIX, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and
restore the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord does not
substantially complete the repair and restoration the Premises within two (2)
months after the expiration of the estimated period of time set forth in the
Completion Estimate, which period shall be extended to the extent of any
Reconstruction Delays, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to
Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such period, as the
same may be extended. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Reconstruction
Delays" shall mean: (i) any delays caused by the insurance adjustment process,
(ii) any delays caused by Tenant, and (iii) any delays caused by events of Force
Majeure.
21
For purposes hereof, Landlord shall be deemed to have comparable space if it has
space available on any floor of the Building that is approximately the same size
as the space Tenant desires to sublet or assign. Landlord shall not be liable
for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant
resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except that,
subject to the provisions of the next sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a
fair diminution of Rent on a per diem basis during the time and to the extent
any damage to the Premises causes the Premises to be rendered untenantable and
not used by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
in the event a casualty to fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises results
in Tenant being unable to operate its business in the entire Premises (and
Tenant actually ceases to operate its business in the entire Premises) and
provided that the casualty is not caused by or attributable to Tenant, its
agents, assignees, concessionaires, employees, contractors, or invitees, Base
Rental and Additional Base Rental for the entire Premises shall xxxxx during the
period of untenantability pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to perform any work necessary, such as
the erection of demising walls and construction of alternate exits and
entrances, to allow Tenant to operate its business in that portion of the
Premises not damaged or destroyed. If Landlord performs such work and Tenant is
reasonably able to operate its business in the portion of the Premises not
damaged or destroyed, Rent for such space shall cease to xxxxx on the date that
such work by Landlord is substantially complete. If the Premises or any other
portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the
negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, the Rent hereunder shall not
be diminished during any period during which the Premises, or any portion
thereof, is untenantable (except to the extent Landlord is entitled to be
reimbursed by the proceeds of any rental interruption insurance), and Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for the cost of the repair and restoration of the
Building caused thereby to the extent such cost and expense is not covered by
insurance proceeds. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any law
from time to time in effect during the Lease Term relating to the effect upon
leases of partial or total destruction of leased property. Landlord and Tenant
agree that their respective rights in the event of any damage to or destruction
of the Premises shall be those specifically set forth herein.
XX. DEMOLITION.
During the Renewal Term, if any, Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease Agreement if Landlord proposes or is required, for any
reason, to remodel, remove, or demolish the Building or any substantial portion
thereof. Such cancellation shall be exercised by Landlord by the service of not
less than one hundred eighty (180) days' written notice of such termination.
Such notice shall set forth the date upon which the termination will be
effective. No money or other consideration shall be payable by Landlord to
Tenant for Landlord's exercise of this right, and the right is hereby reserved
to Landlord and all purchasers, successors, assigns, transferees, and ground
tenants of Landlord, as the case may be, and is in addition to all other rights
of Landlord. Tenant has read the foregoing and understands that Landlord has a
right to terminate this Lease as provided above.
XXI. CONDEMNATION.
If (a) the whole or any substantial part of the Premises or (b) any
portion of the Building or Property which would leave the remainder of the
Building unsuitable for use as an office building comparable to its use on the
Commencement Date, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public
use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent
domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then Landlord may, at its
option, terminate this Lease effective as of the date the physical taking of
said Premises or said portion of the Building or Property shall occur. In the
event this Lease is not terminated, the Rentable Area of the Building, the
Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately
adjusted. In addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises so taken or
condemned shall be abated during the unexpired term of this Lease effective when
the physical taking of said portion of the Premises shall occur. All
compensation awarded for any such taking or condemnation, or sale proceeds in
lieu thereof, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claim
thereto, the same being hereby expressly waived by Tenant, except for any
portions of such award or proceeds which are specifically allocated by
22
the condemning or purchasing party for the taking of or damage to trade fixtures
of Tenant, which Tenant specifically reserves to itself.
XXII. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
The following events shall be deemed to be events of default under this Lease:
A. Tenant shall fail to pay when due any Base Rental, Additional Base
Rental or other Rent under this Lease and such failure shall continue
for ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as a "Monetary Default").
B. Any failure by Tenant (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with
any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, including, without
limitation, the rules and regulations, which failure is not cured
within twenty (20) days after delivery to Tenant of notice of the
occurrence of such failure, provided that if any such failure creates
a hazardous condition, such failure must be cured immediately.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to comply with any
particular provision or covenant of this Lease, including, without
limitation, Tenant's obligation to pay Rent when due, on three (3)
occasions during any twelve (12) month period, any subsequent
violation of such provision or covenant shall be considered to be an
incurable default by Tenant.
C. Tenant shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of
creditors, or shall commit an act of bankruptcy or shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Tenant shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due.
D. Tenant shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, pertaining to bankruptcy,
or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any State
thereof, or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in
proceedings filed against Tenant thereunder; or a petition or answer
proposing the adjudication of Tenant as a debtor or its reorganization
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
shall be filed in any court and such petition or answer shall not be
discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof.
E. A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all
of the assets of Tenant or of the Premises or of any of Tenant's
Property located thereon in any proceeding brought by Tenant or any
such receiver or trustee shall be appointed in any proceeding brought
against Tenant and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days
after such appointment or Tenant shall consent to or acquiesce in such
appointment.
F. The leasehold estate hereunder shall be taken on execution or other
process of law or equity in any action against Tenant.
G. Tenant shall abandon or vacate any substantial portion of the Premises
without the prior written permission of Landlord.
H. Tenant shall fail to take possession of and occupy the Premises within
thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date and thereafter
continuously conduct its operations in the Premises for the Permitted
Use.
I. The liquidation, termination, dissolution, forfeiture of right to do
business, or death of Tenant.
J. Tenant is in default beyond any notice and cure period under any other
lease with Landlord.
XXIII. REMEDIES.
A. Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default under this
Lease, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the
following remedies without any notice (except as expressly prescribed
in Article XXII
23
above) or demand whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Tenant hereby specifically waives notice and demand for
payment of Rent or other obligations due [except as expressly
prescribed in Article XXII above] and waives any and all other notices
or demand requirements imposed by applicable law):
1. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to
surrender the Premises upon termination of the Lease
hereunder, Landlord may without prejudice to any other remedy
which it may have, enter upon and take possession of the
Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who
may be occupying said Premises, or any part thereof, and
Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount
of all loss and damage, including consequential damage, which
Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether
through inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms
or otherwise, specifically including but not limited to all
Costs of Reletting (hereinafter defined) and any deficiency
that may arise by reason of any reletting or failure to relet.
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages,
provided that such reasonable efforts shall not require
Landlord to relet the Premises in preference to any other
space in the Building or to relet the Premises to any party
that Landlord could reasonably reject as a transferee pursuant
to Article XIII hereof.
2. Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or
remove Tenant or any other person who may be occupying said
Premises, or any part thereof, without having any civil or
criminal liability therefor and without terminating this
Lease. Landlord may (but shall be under no obligation to)
relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of
Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise,
without notice to Tenant for such term or terms which may be
greater or less than the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the Lease Term and on such
conditions (which may include concessions, free rent and
alterations of the Premises) and for such uses as Landlord in
its absolute discretion may determine, and Landlord may
collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such
reletting. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand all Costs
of Reletting and any deficiency that may arise by reason of
such reletting or failure to relet. Landlord shall not be
responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or
any part thereof or for any failure to collect any Rent due
upon any such reletting. No such re- entry or taking of
possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as
an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless
a written notice of such termination is given to Tenant.
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages,
provided that such reasonable efforts shall not require
Landlord to relet the Premises in preference to any other
space in the Building or to relet the Premises to any party
that Landlord could reasonably reject as a transferee pursuant
to Article XIII hereof.
3. Enter upon the Premises without having any civil or criminal
liability therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do
under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord on demand for any expense which Landlord may incur in
thus affecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this
Lease together with interest at the lesser of a per annum rate
equal to: (a) the Maximum Rate, or (b) the Prime Rate plus
five percent (5%).
4. In order to regain possession of the Premises and to deny
Tenant access thereto in any instance in which Landlord has
terminated this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or to
limit access to the Premises in accordance with local law in
the event of a default by Tenant, Landlord or its agent may,
at the expense and liability of the Tenant, alter or change
any or all locks or other security devices controlling access
to the Premises without posting or giving notice of any kind
to Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant
a key or grant Tenant access to the Premises so long as Tenant
is in default under this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled
to recover possession of the Premises, terminate this Lease,
or recover any actual, incidental, consequential, punitive,
statutory or other damages or award of attorneys' fees, by
reason of
24
Landlord's alteration or change of any lock or other
security device. Landlord may, without notice, remove and
either dispose of or store, at Tenant's expense, any property
belonging to Tenant that remains in the Premises after
Landlord has regained possession thereof.
5. Terminate this Lease, in which event, Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Premises to Landlord and pay to Landlord the sum
of: (a) all Rent accrued hereunder through the date of
termination, and, upon Landlord's determination thereof, (b)
an amount equal to: the total Rent that Tenant would have been
required to pay for the remainder of the Lease Term discounted
to present value at the Prime Rate then in effect, minus the
then present fair rental value of the Premises for the
remainder of the Lease Term, similarly discounted, after
deducting all anticipated Costs of Reletting (as defined
below).
B. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Costs of Reletting" shall mean
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the
reletting of the Premises, including without limitation, the cost of
cleaning, renovation, repairs, decoration and alteration of the
Premises for a new tenant or tenants, advertisement, marketing,
brokerage and legal fees (if and to the extent permitted by law), the
cost of protecting or caring for the Premises while vacant, the cost
of removing and storing any property located on the Premises, any
increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Premises
and any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord including
tenant incentives, allowances and inducements.
C. Except as otherwise herein provided, no repossession or re-entering
of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Article XXIII hereof
or otherwise shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of its liabilities
and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such
repossession or re-entering. Notwithstanding any such repossession or
re-entering by reason of the occurrence of an event of default, Tenant
will pay to Landlord the Rent required to be paid by Tenant pursuant
to this Lease.
D. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and
every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by
agreement, applicable law or in equity. In addition to other remedies
provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief, or to a decree
compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions
or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to
Landlord at law or in equity. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one
or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall
not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
E. This Article XXIII shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such
enforcement is not prohibited by applicable law, and the
unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby render
unenforceable any other portion.
XXIV. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD HEREUNDER) TO TENANT SHALL
BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE BUILDING, AND TENANT AGREES TO
LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE BUILDING FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY
JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST THE LANDLORD, IT BEING INTENDED THAT NEITHER LANDLORD
NOR ANY MEMBER, PRINCIPAL, PARTNER, SHAREHOLDER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR OR
BENEFICIARY OF LANDLORD SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR
DEFICIENCY. TENANT HEREBY COVENANTS THAT, PRIOR TO THE FILING OF ANY SUIT FOR AN
ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD HEREUNDER, IT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND ALL MORTGAGEES
WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES OR DEED OF TRUST
25
LIENS ON THE PROPERTY, BUILDING OR PREMISES NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE
SUCH ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. IN ADDITION, TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EQUITY
OFFICE HOLDINGS, L.L.C., AND EQUITY OFFICE PROPERTIES, L.L.C., ARE ACTING SOLELY
IN THEIR CAPACITY AS AGENTS FOR LANDLORD AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS LEASE, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY TENANT.
XXV. NO WAIVER.
Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon its
occurrence, or delay in taking any action in connection with an event of default
shall not constitute a waiver of such default, nor shall it constitute an
estoppel against Landlord, but Landlord shall have the right to declare the
default at any time and take such action as is lawful or authorized under this
Lease. Failure by Landlord to enforce its rights with respect to any one default
shall not constitute a waiver of its rights with respect to any subsequent
default. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant's keys to the Premises shall not
constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Premises.
XXVI. EVENT OF BANKRUPTCY.
In addition to, and in no way limiting the other remedies set forth
herein, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant ever becomes the subject of a
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, or other
similar type proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now enacted or
hereinafter amended, then:
A. "Adequate protection" of Landlord's interest in the Premises pursuant
to the provisions of Section 361 and 363 (or their successor sections)
of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., (such
Bankruptcy Code as amended from time to time being herein referred to
as the "Bankruptcy Code"), prior to assumption and/or assignment of
the Lease by Tenant shall include, but not be limited to all (or any
part) of the following:
1. the continued payment by Tenant of the Base Rental and all other
Rent due and owing hereunder and the performance of all other
covenants and obligations hereunder by Tenant;
2. the furnishing of an additional/new security deposit by Tenant in
the amount of three (3) times the then current monthly Base
Rental.
B. "Adequate assurance of future performance" by Tenant and/or any
assignee of Tenant pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 will
include (but not be limited to) payment of an additional/new Security
Deposit in the amount of three (3) times the then current Base Rental
payable hereunder.
C. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed without further act
or deed to have assumed all of the obligations of Tenant arising under
this Lease on and after the effective date of such assignment. Any
such assignee shall, upon demand by Landlord, execute and deliver to
Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption of liability.
D. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts
payable by Tenant to or on behalf of the Landlord under this Lease,
whether or not expressly denominated as "Rent," shall constitute
"rent" for the purposes of Section 502(b) (6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
E. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other
considerations payable or otherwise to be delivered to Landlord
(including Base Rentals and other Rent hereunder), shall be and remain
the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property
of Tenant or of the bankruptcy estate of Tenant. Any and all monies or
other considerations constituting Landlord's property under the
preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in
trust by Tenant or Tenant's bankruptcy estate for the benefit of
Landlord and shall be promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.
26
F. If Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who
shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this
Lease on terms acceptable to the Tenant, then notice of such proposed
offer/assignment, setting forth: (1) the name and address of such
person or entity, (2) all of the terms and conditions of such offer,
and (3) the adequate assurance to be provided Landlord to assure such
person's or entity's future performance under the Lease, shall be
given to Landlord by Tenant no later than twenty (20) days after
receipt by Tenant, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior
to the date that Tenant shall make application to a court of competent
jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assumption
and assignment, and Landlord shall thereupon have the prior right and
option, to be exercised by notice to Tenant given at any time prior to
the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept an
assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for
the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such
persons or entity, less any brokerage commission which may be payable
out of the consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment
of this Lease.
G. To the extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant agree that this
Lease is a contract under which applicable law excuses Landlord from
accepting performance from (or rendering performance to) any person or
entity other than Tenant within the meaning of Sections 365(c) and
365(e) (2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
XXVII. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right to a trial by jury in any
action or proceeding based upon, or related to, the subject matter of this
Lease. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily made by Tenant,
and Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any person acting on behalf of
Landlord has made any representations of fact to induce this waiver of trial by
jury or in any way to modify or nullify its effect. Tenant further acknowledges
that it has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in
the signing of this Lease and in the making of this waiver by independent legal
counsel, selected of its own free will, and that it has had the opportunity to
discuss this waiver with counsel.
XXVIII. RELOCATION.
INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
XXIX. HOLDING OVER.
In the event of holding over by Tenant after expiration or other
termination of this Lease or in the event Tenant continues to occupy the
Premises after the termination of Tenant's right of possession pursuant to
Articles XXII and XXIII hereof, occupancy of the Premises subsequent to such
termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance and in no
event for month-to-month or year-to-year, but Tenant shall, throughout the
entire holdover period, be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease
and shall pay for its use and occupancy an amount (on a per month basis without
reduction for any partial months during any such holdover) equal to 150% of the
sum of the Base Rental and Additional Base Rental due for the period immediately
preceding such holding over, provided that in no event shall Base Rental and
Additional Base Rental during the holdover period be less than the fair market
rental for the Premises, and provided further if the holding over continues for
more than thirty (30) days, effective as of the thirty-first day, holdover rent
shall increase to 200% of the sum of the Base Rental and Additional Base Rental
due for the period immediately preceding such holding over. No holding over by
Tenant or payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration of the
term of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Lease Term or prevent
Landlord from recovery of immediate possession of the Premises by summary
proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the obligation to pay the amounts set
forth above during any such holdover period, Tenant also shall be liable to
Landlord for all damage, including any consequential damage, which Landlord may
suffer by reason of any holding over by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord against any and all claims made by any other tenant or prospective
tenant against Landlord for delay by
27
Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises to such other tenant or
prospective tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's liability for any
consequential damage shall be limited to damages suffered by Landlord following
the thirtieth (30th) day of Tenant's holdover in the Premises.
XXX. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed
of trust, ground lease or other lien presently existing or hereafter arising
upon the Premises, or upon the Building and/or the Property and to any renewals,
modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (any such mortgage, deed of
trust, lease or other lien being hereinafter referred to as a "Mortgage", and
the person or entity having the benefit of same being referred to hereinafter as
a "Mortgagee"), but Tenant agrees that any such Mortgagee shall have the right
at any time to subordinate such Mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject
to such conditions as such Mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion.
This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination
shall be required. However, Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full
power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any Mortgage, and Tenant agrees
upon demand to execute such further instruments subordinating this Lease,
acknowledging the subordination of this Lease or attorning to the holder of any
such Mortgage as Landlord may request. Upon written request by Tenant,
Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination
and attornment agreement from Landlord's then current mortgagee on such
mortgagee's then current standard form of agreement. "Reasonable efforts" of
Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to
obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any
fee or review costs charged by the mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant
will execute the mortgagees form of non-disturbance, subordination and
attornment agreement and return the same to Landlord for execution by the
mortgagee. Landlord's failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and
attornment agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations
and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by
Landlord hereunder. The terms of this Lease are subject to approval by the
Landlord's existing lender(s) and any lender(s) who, at the time of the
execution of this Lease, have committed or are considering committing to
Landlord to make a loan secured by all or any portion of the Property, and such
approval is a condition precedent to Landlord's obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any mortgage, deed of trust,
lease or other lien that hereafter becomes a lien or charge upon the Building or
the Property (a "Subsequent Mortgage", and the person or entity having the
benefit of same being referred to hereinafter as a "Subsequent Mortgagee"),
Tenant agrees to subordinate this Lease to such Subsequent Mortgage and attorn
to such Subsequent Mortgagee thereunder by written agreement provided the
Subsequent Mortgagee under any such Subsequent Mortgage provides Tenant with a
non-disturbance agreement (which may be part of the subordination and attornment
agreement). Such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement
("SNDA") in favor of Tenant shall be in customary form and shall provide that,
so long as Tenant is paying the rent due under the Lease and is not otherwise in
default under the Lease, its right to possession and the other terms of the
Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Such SNDA may provide Subsequent
Mortgagee with additional time to cure defaults of the Landlord and may provide
that (a) neither Subsequent Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be
bound by (i) any payment of the Base Rental, Additional Base Rental, or other
sum due hereunder for more than one (1) month in advance or (ii) any amendment
or modification of the Lease made without the express written consent of
Subsequent Mortgagee or any successor-in-interest; (b) neither Subsequent
Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest will be liable for (i) any act or
omission or warranties of any prior landlord (including Landlord), (ii) the
breach of any warranties or obligations relating to construction of improvements
on the property or any tenant finish work performed or to have been performed by
any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iii) the return of any security
deposit, except to the extent such deposits have been received by Subsequent
Mortgagee; and (c) neither Subsequent Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest
shall be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any
prior landlord (including Landlord). Landlord's failure to obtain a
non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant as
aforedescribed shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities
of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be an event of default by Landlord
hereunder nor shall Landlord incur any
28
liability as a result thereof. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs
imposed by the Subsequent Mortgagee (including reasonable attorney's fees) in
connection with the preparation and negotiation of any such SNDA. If any person
shall succeed to all or part of Landlord's interests in the Premises whether by
purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination
of lease or otherwise, and if and as so requested or required by such
successor-in-interest, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to such
successor-in-interest provided Tenant receives a non-disturbance agreement from
such party satisfying the requirements provided above. Tenant agrees that any
Present Mortgagee or Subsequent Mortgagee (the Present Mortgagee and Subsequent
Mortgagee collectively are referred to as a "Mortgagee") shall have the right at
any time to subordinate such Present Mortgage or Subsequent Mortgage
(collectively referred to as "Mortgage") to this Lease on such terms and subject
to such conditions as such Mortgage may deem appropriate in its discretion. In
the event that Tenant should fail to execute any subordination or other
agreement required by this Article promptly as requested, Tenant hereby
irrevocably constitutes Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute such
instrument in Tenant's name, place and stead, it being agreed that such power is
one coupled with an interest in Landlord and is accordingly irrevocable. If any
person shall succeed to all or part of Landlord's interests in the Premises
whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale,
termination of lease or otherwise, and if and as so requested or required by
such successor-in-interest, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to such
successor-in-interest. Tenant agrees that it will from time to time upon request
by Landlord and, within five (5) days of the date of such request, execute and
deliver to such persons as Landlord shall request an estoppel certificate or
other similar statement in recordable form certifying that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), stating the dates to
which Rent and other charges payable under this Lease have been paid, stating
that Landlord is not in default hereunder (or if Tenant alleges a default
stating the nature of such alleged default) and further stating such other
matters as Landlord shall reasonably require.
XXXI. ATTORNEYS' FEES.
In the event that Landlord should retain counsel and/or institute any
suit against Tenant for violation of or to enforce any of the covenants or
conditions of this Lease, or should Tenant institute any suit against Landlord
for violation of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or should
either party intervene in any suit in which the other is a party to enforce or
protect its interest or rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such suit
shall be entitled to all of its costs, expenses and reasonable fees of its
attorney(s) (if and to the extent permitted by law) in connection therewith.
XXXII. NOTICE.
Whenever any demand, request, approval, consent or notice ("Notice")
shall or may be given to either of the parties by the other, each such Notice
shall be in writing and shall be sent by registered or certified mail with
return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier service (such as Federal
Express) at the respective addresses of the parties for notices as set forth in
Section I.A.10. of this Lease, provided that if Tenant has vacated the Premises
or is in default of this Lease Landlord may serve Notice by any manner permitted
by law. Any Notice under this Lease delivered by registered or certified mail
shall be deemed to have been given and effective on the earlier of (a) the third
day following the day on which the same shall have been mailed with sufficient
postage prepaid or (b) the delivery date indicated on the return receipt. Notice
sent by overnight courier service shall be deemed given and effective upon the
day after such notice is delivered to or picked up by the overnight courier
service. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address by giving the
other party Notice stating the change and setting forth the new address.
XXXIII. LANDLORD'S LIEN.
INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
XXXIV. EXCEPTED RIGHTS.
This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the
Building.
29
Landlord specifically excepts and reserves to itself the use of any roofs, the
exterior portions of the Premises, all rights to the land and improvements below
the improved floor level of the Premises, the improvements and air rights above
the Premises and the improvements and air rights located outside the demising
walls of the Premises, and such areas within the Premises as are required for
installation of utility lines and other installations required to serve any
occupants of the Building and the right to maintain and repair the same, and no
rights with respect thereto are conferred upon Tenant unless otherwise
specifically provided herein. Landlord further reserves to itself the right from
time to time: (a) to change the Building's name or street address; (b) to
install, fix and maintain signs on the exterior and interior of the Building;
(c) to designate and approve window coverings; (d) to make any decorations,
alterations, additions, improvements to the Building, or any part thereof
(including the Premises) which Landlord shall desire, or deem necessary for the
safety, protection, preservation or improvement of the Building, or as Landlord
may be required to do by law; (e) to have access to the Premises to perform its
duties and obligations and to exercise its rights under this Lease; (f) to
retain at all times and to use pass-keys to all locks within and into the
Premises; (g) to approve the weight, size, or location of heavy equipment, or
articles in and about the Premises; (h) to close or restrict access to the
Building at all times other than Normal Business Hours subject to Tenant's right
to admittance at all times under such regulations as Landlord may prescribe from
time to time, or to close (temporarily or permanently) any of the entrances to
the Building; (i) to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances of
passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and
public parts of the Building; (j) if Tenant has vacated the Premises during the
last six (6) months of the Lease Term, to perform additions, alterations and
improvements to the Premises in connection with a reletting or anticipated
reletting thereof without being responsible or liable for the value or
preservation of any then existing improvements to the Premises; and (k) to grant
to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or undertaking in the
Building. Landlord, in accordance with Article XII hereof, shall have the right
to enter the Premises in connection with the exercise of any of the rights set
forth herein and such entry into the Premises and the performance of any work
therein shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to any
abatement or reduction of Rent by reason thereof.
XXXV. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's
right of possession hereunder, Tenant shall remove all Tenant's Property from
the Premises, remove all Required Removables designated by Landlord and quit and
surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition
and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to remove any of
Tenant's Property within one (1) day after the termination of this Lease or
Tenant's right to possession hereunder, Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, shall be entitled to remove and/or store such Tenant's Property and
Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or
safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, any and all
expenses caused by such removal and all storage charges against such property so
long as the same shall be in the possession of Landlord or under the control of
Landlord. In addition, if Tenant fails to remove any Tenant's Property from the
Premises or storage, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after written
notice from Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may deem all or any part of such
Tenant's Property to have been abandoned by Tenant and title thereof shall
immediately pass to Landlord.
XXXVI. MISCELLANEOUS.
A. If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such
term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to
which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected
thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Lease represents
the result of negotiations between Landlord and Tenant, each of which
has been (or has had opportunity to be) represented by counsel of its
own selection, and neither of which has acted under
30
duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise.
Consequently, Landlord and Tenant agree that the language in all parts
of the Lease shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to
its fair meaning and neither strictly for nor against Landlord or
Tenant.
B. Tenant agrees not to record this Lease or any memorandum hereof
without Landlord's prior written consent. Upon written request by
Tenant, Landlord shall execute a Memorandum of Lease the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "G" which Tenant may record at Tenant's sole cost
and expense.
C. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the state in which the Building is located.
D. Events of "Force Majeure" shall include strikes, riots, acts of God,
shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental law, regulations or
restrictions and any other cause whatsoever that is beyond the control
of Landlord. Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for the
taking of any action by Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable or
responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of
such period of time, any delays due to events of Force Majeure.
E. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in
part, all of its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Building
and Property referred to herein, and in such event and upon such
transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations
hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in
interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations.
F. Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that it has dealt directly with
and only with the Broker as a broker in connection with this Lease.
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord Related
Parties harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have
represented Tenant in connection with this Lease. Landlord agrees to
indemnify and hold Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties harmless from
all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Landlord in
connection with this Lease. Landlord agrees to pay a brokerage
commission to Broker in accordance with the terms of that certain
commission agreement dated January 8, 1996 between Landlord and
Broker.
G. If there is more than one Tenant, or if the Tenant is comprised of
more than one person or entity, the obligations hereunder imposed upon
Tenant shall be joint and several obligations of all such parties. All
notices, payments, and agreements given or made by, with or to any one
of such persons or entities shall be deemed to have been given or made
by, with or to all of them.
H. In the event Tenant is a corporation (including any form of
professional association), partnership (general or limited), or other
form of organization other than an individual (each such entity is
individually referred to herein as an "Organizational Entity"), then
each individual executing or attesting this Lease on behalf of Tenant
hereby covenants, warrants and represents: (1) that such individual is
duly authorized to execute or attest and deliver this Lease on behalf
of Tenant in accordance with the organizational documents of Tenant;
(2) that this Lease is binding upon Tenant; (3) that Tenant is duly
organized and legally existing in the state of its organization, and
is qualified to do business in the state in which the Premises is
located; and (4) that the execution and delivery of this Lease by
Tenant will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under
any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, loan, credit agreement,
partnership agreement or other contract or instrument to which Tenant
is a party or by which Tenant may be bound. If Tenant is an
Organizational Entity, upon request, Tenant will, prior to the
Commencement Date, deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of all
organizational documents of Tenant, including, without limitation,
copies of an appropriate resolution or consent of Tenant's board of
directors or other appropriate governing body of Tenant authorizing or
ratifying the execution
31
and delivery of this Lease, which resolution or consent will be duly
certified to Landlord's satisfaction by an appropriate individual with
authority to certify such documents, such as the secretary or
assistant secretary or the managing general partner of Tenant.
I. Tenant acknowledges that the financial capability of Tenant to perform
its obligations hereunder is material to Landlord and that Landlord
would not enter into this Lease but for its belief, based on its
review of Tenant's financial statements, that Tenant is capable of
performing such financial obligations. Tenant hereby represents,
warrants and certifies to Landlord that its financial statements
previously furnished to Landlord were at the time given true and
correct in all material respects and that there have been no material
subsequent changes thereto as of the date of this Lease. At any time
during the Lease Term, Tenant shall provide Landlord, upon ten (10)
days' prior written notice from Landlord, with a current financial
statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the
current financial statement year and such other information as
Landlord or its Mortgagee may request in order to create a "business
profile" of Tenant and determine Tenant's ability to fulfill its
obligations under this Lease. Such statement shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such
is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent
certified public accountant.
J. Except as expressly otherwise herein provided, with respect to all
required acts of Tenant, time is of the essence of this Lease. This
Lease shall create the relationship of Landlord and Tenant between the
parties hereto.
K. This Lease and the covenants and conditions herein contained shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and
their respective permitted successors and assigns.
L. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the
expiration of the Lease Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise,
shall not relieve Tenant from Tenant's obligations accruing prior to
the expiration of the Lease Term, and such obligations shall survive
any such expiration or other termination of the Lease Term.
M. The headings and titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are for
convenience only and shall have no affect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part hereof.
N. Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant's
review only, and the delivery hereof does not constitute an offer to
Tenant or option. This Lease shall not be effective until an original
of this Lease executed by both Landlord and Tenant and an original
Guaranty, if any, executed by each Guarantor is delivered to and
accepted by Landlord, and this Lease has been approved by Landlord's
Mortgagees, if required.

CORPORATION, (collectively referred to as "Tenant") for space in the Building
located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx.
1. This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord
and Tenant with respect to the preparation of the Premises for Tenant's
occupancy. All improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed in

Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a general
contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to
select and\or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord
Work.
2. Provided that Tenant is not in default, space planning,
architectural and engineering (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) drawings for
the Landlord Work shall be prepared at Landlord's sole cost and expense, subject
to an allowance (the "Plans Allowance") in an amount not to exceed Forty-Four
Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Eight and 75/100 Dollars ($44,168.75)(i.e., $1.25 per
rentable square foot of the Premises). In the event the Plans Allowance shall
not be sufficient to complete the "Plans" (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall
pay any excess costs. In the event the Plans Allowance exceeds the cost of the

higher estimate of the cost of construction and/or higher actual construction
costs, Tenant shall pay such excess costs upon demand.
4. This Exhibit D shall not be deemed applicable to any additional
space added to the original Premises at any time or from time to time, whether
by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original
Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension
of the original Term of this Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or
otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or
supplement to the Lease.

Hundred Four Thousand Two Hundred Thirty- Eight and 25/100 Dollars
($104,238.25)(i.e., $2.95 per rentable square foot of the Premises) to be
applied toward the cost of moving Tenant's furniture, equipment and other
personal property into the Premises and Tenant's wiring and cabling of the

thereof, to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (i)
receipt of paid invoices from Tenant with respect to Tenant's actual costs of
moving, wiring and cabling as described above, and (ii) the Commencement Date.
II) RENEWAL OPTION.
A. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for one
additional period of five (5) years commencing on the day following the
Termination Date of the initial Lease Term and ending on the last day of the
60th month anniversary of the Termination Date (the "Renewal Term"), if:
1. Landlord receives notice of exercise ("Renewal Notice") not
less then twelve (12) full calendar months prior to the expiration of
the initial Lease Term and not more than fifteen (15) full calendar
months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; and
2. Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable
cure periods at the time that Tenant delivers its Renewal Notice or at
the time Tenant delivers its Binding Renewal Notice; and
3. No part of the Premises is sublet at the time that Tenant
delivers its Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding
Renewal Notice; and
4. The Lease has not been assigned prior to the date that Tenant
delivers its Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant delivers its
Binding Renewal Notice; and
5. Tenant desires to lease less than the entire Premises, the
portion Tenant leases must be at least 25,000 rentable square feet, the
exact location of such portion shall be determined by Landlord, and
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, pay for all costs of
demising the reduced Premises including, without limitation, the cost
of constructing a corridor and balancing the HVAC system.
6. Tenant executes and returns the Renewal Amendment (hereinafter
defined) within thirty (30) days after its submission to Tenant.
B. The initial Base Rental rate per rentable square foot for the
Premises during the Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing Market (hereinafter
defined) rate per rentable square foot for the Premises.
C. Tenant shall pay Additional Base Rental (i.e. Basic Costs) for
the

D. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's Renewal

Tenant's Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant
shall enter into the Renewal Amendment upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord and
Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market
Base Rental rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term. Upon agreement
Tenant shall provide Landlord with Binding Notice and Landlord and Tenant shall
enter into the Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are unable to
agree upon the Prevailing Market Base Rental rate for the Premises within thirty
(30) days after the date on which Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection
Notice, Tenant's Renewal
Option shall be null and void and of no force and
effect.
E. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Renewal
Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the "Renewal Amendment") to reflect
changes in the Base Rental, Lease Term, Termination Date and other appropriate
terms. The Renewal Amendment shall be:
1. sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of the
Renewal Notice; and
2. executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord in accordance with
paragraph A.5. above.

length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under renewal
leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing
Market is being determined hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the
Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in Indianapolis,
Indiana. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any
material economic differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison
lease, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the
manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for
operating expenses and taxes. The determination of Prevailing Market shall also
take into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing
Market rate from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined and
the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective under this Lease.
III) RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
A. Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer with
respect to 4,000 rentable square feet (plus or minus 20% as determined by
Landlord) on the second (2nd) floor of the Building shown on the demising plan
attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (the "Offering Space"), which Right of First
Offer shall be exercised as follows: at any time after Landlord has determined
that the existing tenant in the Offering Space will not extend or renew the term
of its lease for the Offering Space (but prior to leasing such Offering Space to
a party other than the existing tenant), Landlord shall advise Tenant (the
"Advice") of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease the Offering
Space to Tenant for the remainder of the Lease Term, which terms shall reflect
the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate for such Offering Space as
reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its
entirety only, under such terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to
Landlord ("Notice of Exercise") within five (5) Business Days after the date of
the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and
Landlord need not provide Tenant with an
Advice, if:
1. Tenant is in default under the Lease at the time Landlord would
otherwise deliver the Advice; or
2. the Premises, or any portion thereof, is sublet at the time
Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
3. the Lease has been assigned prior to the date Landlord would
otherwise deliver the Advice; or
4. Tenant is not occupying the Premises on the date Landlord would
otherwise deliver the Advice; or
5. the Offering Space is not intended for the exclusive use of
Tenant during the Lease Term; or
6. the existing tenant in the Offering Space is interested in
extending or renewing its lease for the Offering Space or entering into
a new lease for such Offering Space.
B.1 The term for the Offering Space shall commence upon the
commencement date stated in the Advice and thereupon such Offering
Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of
the terms stated in the Advice shall govern Tenant's leasing of the
Offering Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with
the Advice, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the
Offering Space.
2. Tenant shall pay Base Rental and Additional Base Rental for the
Offering Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Advice, which terms and conditions shall reflect the Prevailing Market
rate for the Offering Space as determined in Landlord's reasonable
judgment.
3. The Offering Space (including improvements and personalty, if
any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built
configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes
possession of the Offering Space or as of the date the term for such
Offering Space commences, unless the Advice specifies any work to be
performed by Landlord in the Offering Space, in which case Landlord
shall perform such work in the Offering Space.
C. The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Offering
Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) September 30, 2005; (ii)
Tenant's failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the five (5) day
period provided in paragraph A above, and (iii) the date Landlord would have
provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of
the conditions set forth in Paragraph A above.
D.1. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer, Landlord shall
prepare an amendment (the "Offering Amendment") adding the Offering
Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and
reflecting the changes in the Base Rental, Rentable Area of the
Premises, Tenant's Pro Rata Share and other appropriate terms.
2. A copy of the Offering Amendment shall be (i) sent to Tenant
within a reasonable time after receipt of the Notice of Exercise
executed by Tenant, and (ii) executed by Tenant and returned to
Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter.
E. For Purposes hereof, Prevailing Market rate shall mean the
annual rental rate per square foot for space comparable to the Offering Space in
the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in Indianapolis,
Indiana under leases and renewal and expansion amendments being entered into at
or about the time that Prevailing Market is being determined giving appropriate
consideration to tenant concessions, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement
allowances, and the method of allocating operating expenses and taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, space leased under any of the following
circumstances shall not be considered to be comparable for purposes
hereof: (i) the lease term is for less than the lease term of the offering
space, (ii) the space is encumbered by the option rights of another tenant, or
(iii) the space has a lack of windows and\or an awkward or unusual shape or
configuration. The foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of space
that will not be considered to be comparable.
