Concurrently with this Lease, Lessor is obtaining a loan in the original principal of $2,200,000 from Rumson Fair Haven Bank and Trust Company that shall be secured by the Premises (the “Loan”). Commencing as of May 1, 2016, the Base Rent shall increase from time to time by the amount that Lessor’s Financing Costs during any Lease Year exceeds the amount of Lessor’s Financing Costs for the Premises during the Base Year. Such excess is referred to herein as the “Excess Financing Costs.” If Lessor reasonably believes there to be Excess Financing Costs during a Lease Year, Lessor shall deliver written notice to Lessee estimating the amount of the Excess Financing Costs and the monthly increase in the Base Rent to pay such Excess Financing Costs over such Lease Year. Lessee shall pay such Excess Financing Costs as set forth in the written notice from Lessor; provided, however, that within ninety (90) days following the end of a Lease Year during which Lessee has made payments for Excess Financing Costs, Lessor shall provide a written reconciliation of the actual amount of the Excess Financing Costs. If the amounts paid by Lessee for Excess Financing Costs exceed the actual amount of the Excess Financing Costs, then Lessee shall receive a credit in the amount of the overpayment by Lessee. If the amounts paid by Lessee for the Excess Financing Costs are less than the actual amount of the Excess Financing Costs, then Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after the delivery of the written reconciliation, pay to Lessor the outstanding balance of the Excess Financing Costs.
(i) “Lessor’s Financing Costs” are hereby defined as any and all costs and expenses incurred (directly or indirectly) by Lessor in connection with any loan made by a commercial lender that is secured by a deed of trust, mortgage or similar instrument encumbering the Premises (including, without limitation, interest, points and
fees but excluding any fees that are required to be paid under Paragraph 54(a) below or that Lessee is expressly not required to pay under Paragraph 54(a) below); provided however, in the event that the aggregate principal amount for any such loan(s) exceed $3,000,000 (the “Maximum Principal”), Lessee shall be only be responsible for the payment of the portion the Excess Financing Costs that is based upon the Maximum Principal.

Any delay by Lessor in notifying Lessee of any increase in the amount of Lessor’s Financing Costs will not impair Lessor’s rights under this Paragraph 51(a). The parties further agree that (1) any reduction in Lessor’s Financing Costs will not result in any decrease of the amount of the Base Rent under this Paragraph 51(a), and (2) any increase under this Paragraph 51(a) shall be cumulative with any increase under Paragraph 51(b) and Paragraph 51 (c).

Lessor fails to transfer to any transferee or assignee the Security Deposit (including a transfer as a result of a foreclosure of the Premises), Lessor shall remain liable to Lessee for any unused Security Deposit.
68. Right of First Offer. Lessee shall have a one time right of first offer (“ROFO”) for purchase of the Premises for a period from the Commencement Date of the Lease and continuing until the Expiration Date of the Lease (the “Right of First Offer Period”). If Lessor desires to sell the Premises during the Right of First Offer Period to any third parties, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of such desire. Lessee may, within 30 days of receipt of such notice from Lessor, submit to Lessor a written “First Offer” for the purchase of the Premises. Lessor shall have five (5) days after receipt of the First Offer during which to accept or reject such offer; provided that Lessor shall have no obligation to accept such offer and that Lessor’s failure to respond to Lessee’s offer will be deemed to constitute Lessor’s rejection of Lessee’s First Offer. If Lessee fails to give such First Offer, then Lessee shall have no further rights under this ROFO. If Lessor rejects Lessee’s First Offer, for four (4) months following the date of Lessee’s First Offer, Lessor shall not sell the Premises to a third party for a purchase price less than the purchase price set for in Lessee’s First Offer. After such fourth month, Lessor shall have the right to sell the Premises upon such terms and conditions as Lessor may desire. Lessee shall not have the right to submit more than one First Offer during the Right of First Offer Period.

RIDER 1
OPTION TO PURCHASE
This Rider 1 is attached to, made a part of, incorporated into, and amends and supplements, that certain AIR Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease — Net dated May , 2011 (the “Lease”), by and between BFG2011 LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, a New Jersey limited liability company, doing business in California as “22135 ALESSANDRO, LLC” (“Lessor”), and SUPREME INDIANA OPERATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Lessee”). Lessor and Lessee agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth in this Rider 1 will be deemed to be a part of the Lease and will supersede any contrary provisions in the Lease and shall prevail and control for all purposes. All references in the Lease and in this Rider 1 to the defined term “Lease” are to be construed to mean the Lease as amended and supplemented by this Rider 1. Capitalized terms which are not defined in this Rider 1 have the meanings given to them in the Lease.
1. OPTION TO PURCHASE. Lessor desires to grant an option to Lessee to acquire the Premises (the “Purchase Option”) and Lessee hereby accepts said Purchase Option at the Purchase Price (as defined below) and upon the other terms and conditions stated herein. Lessee’s Purchase Option and the acquisition of the Premises by Lessee shall be subject to this Rider “1” and the Purchase Agreement as defined below.
(a) The “Purchase Price” under the Purchase Option from the Commencement Date of the Lease until April 30, 2013 shall be the amount of Four Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,100,000.00). For the remaining term of the Purchase Option, the Purchase Price shall be as follows: (i) from May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, the Purchase Price shall be ninety percent (90%) of the Fair Market Value of the Premises as defined below, but in no event less than Four Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,100,000), (ii) from May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015, the Purchase Price shall be ninety-three percent (93%) of the Fair Market Value of the Premises, but in no event shall not be less than Four Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,100,000), and (iii) from May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016, the Purchase Price shall be ninety-six percent (96%) of the Fair Market Value of the Premises, but in no event shall be less than Four Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,100,000).
1) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Fair Market Value of the Premises” shall be the amount that a willing seller would accept from a willing buyer and that a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller for a industrial commercial real property similarly situated in Riverside County, California, taking into account all of the conditions currently affecting the Premises. The Fair Market Value of the Premises shall be determined as of the date of close of escrow for the purchase of the Premises and not at the date that the Purchase Option is exercised. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the Fair Market Value of the Premises shall be determined in accordance with this Paragraph 1(a)(1):
(A) Within ten (10) days after Lessee delivers to Lessor, Lessee’s written notice electing to exercise the Purchase Option, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written notice to Lessee stating Lessor’s belief as to the Fair Market Value of the Premises (“Lessor’s FMV Notice”). If Lessee agrees with Lessor’s FMV Notice, then the Fair Market Value of the Premises shall be as set forth in the Lessor’s FMV Notice.
(B) If Lessee does not agree with Lessor’s belief as to the Fair Market Value of the Premises as set forth in the Lessor’s FMV Notice and if Lessee wishes to contest Lessor’s belief as to the Fair Market Value in the Lessor’s FMV Notice, then Lessee must provide written notice to Lessor (within ten (10) days after Lessor’s delivery of the Lessor’s FMV Notice) stating that Lessee objects to Lessor’s belief as to the Fair Market Value of the Premises. If Lessee timely provides such written objection, the parties shall follow the procedure described in Paragraph 1(a)(1)(C) below. If Lessee fails to deliver a timely a written objection to Lessor’s FMV Notice, then, Lessee shall be deemed have accepted Lessor’s belief as to the Fair Market Value of the Premises.
Rider 1
(C) If Lessee timely and effectively objects to Lessor’s determination of Fair Market Value under this Paragraph, the disagreement shall be resolved as follows:
(1) Lessor and Lessee shall diligently attempt in good faith to agree on the Fair Market Value on or before the tenth (10th) day after Lessee’s objection to the Fair Market Value (the “Outside Agreement Date”).
(2) If Lessor and Lessee fail to reach agreement on or before the Outside Agreement Date, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by arbitration under this Paragraph 1(a)(1)(C)(2).
A. Within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, Lessor and Lessee shall each appoint one arbitrator and notify the other party of the arbitrator’s name and business address. Each of the arbitrators must be a licensed real estate broker who has been active in the leasing of industrial properties in the Moreno Valley, California metropolitan area over the five-year (5-year) period ending on the date of his/her appointment as arbitrator(s).
B. If each party timely appoints an arbitrator, the two (2) arbitrators shall, within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree on and appoint a third arbitrator (who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators but shall not have been employed by Lessor or Lessee during the immediately preceding five-year period) and provide notice to Lessor and Lessee of the arbitrator’s name and business address.
C. Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator, the three (3) arbitrators shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises and shall notify Lessor and Lessee of their decision. The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee
D. If either Lessor or Lessee fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of them shall reach a decision and notify Lessor and Lessee of that decision within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator’s appointment. The arbitrator’s decision shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee.
E. The cost of the arbitration and the arbitrator shall be paid by Lessee.
(b) The term of the Purchase Option shall commence on the Commencement Date of the Lease and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) April 30, 2016, and (ii) the date Lessee exercises the Purchase Option (the “Purchase Option Term”). The Purchase Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice delivered by Lessee to Lessor no later than the expiration of the Purchase Option Term.
(c) The closing of the sale of the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 1 shall occur no later than that date which is the earlier of (i) April 30, 2016, and (ii) sixty days following Lessee’s exercise of the Purchase Option (the “Purchase Option Outside Date”).
(d) If the Purchase Option is not exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 1 prior to the expiration of the Purchase Option Term, or if the closing of the sale of the Premises shall not occur on or before the Purchase Option Outside Date, or if Lessee defaults under any of the terms or provisions contained in the Lease as amended hereby beyond any applicable notice and cure period (whether or not Lessee has
Rider 1
exercised the Purchase Option), then the Purchase Option shall automatically and immediately terminate without notice and, thereafter, Lessee shall have no right or interest whatsoever to purchase the Premises. Lessee acknowledges that, once terminated, the Purchase Option may not be revived by any subsequent act of Lessee.
(e) Lessee agrees, concurrent with the execution of this Lease, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a “Quitclaim Deed,” in the form attached hereto as Schedule “1,” conveying to Lessor any and all rights of Lessee to acquire the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Rider 1 or the Purchase Agreement, as defined below. Lessor shall not record the Quitclaim Deed until (i) after the expiration of the Purchase Option Outside Date, or (ii) a Breach as provided in Paragraph 13.1 of the Form Lease. After the Purchase Option Outside Date or a Breach, Lessee agrees, within ten (10) days after receipt of written request from Lessor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any other instruments reasonably required by Lessor or any title company to remove the cloud of this Purchase Option from title to the Premises. In the event, Lessee exercises the Purchase Option, concurrent with the “Closing,” as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement, Lessor shall return the original Quitclaim Deed to Lessee.
(f) The Purchase Option shall be exercised by Lessee, if at all, by Lessee delivering, prior to the expiration of the Purchase Option Term, to “Escrow Agent,” as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement, Lessee’s good faith deposit in the amount of $100,000.00 (the “Deposit”) and a duly executed counterpart of a purchase agreement in the form of the then current AIR Standard Offer, Agreement and Escrow Instructions for Purchase of Real Estate (the “Purchase Agreement”) (with a copy to Lessor), dated as of the date of Lessee’s delivery of the Purchase Agreement to Escrow Holder. Lessor shall then deliver to Escrow Holder (with a copy to Lessee). Lessee shall be responsible for all costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Purchase Option and the close of escrow of the purchase of the Premises, including, without limitation, any loan fees, prepayment penalties or fees, breakage fees, recording fees, documentary tax transfer fees, escrow fees, title charges, and all other costs and expenses under any loan secured by the Premises.
2. OPTION.
(a) As used in this Paragraph, the word “Option” means the Purchase Option pursuant to Paragraph 1 herein.
(b) The Option is personal to the original Lessee executing the Lease and/or any transferee whose transfer was consented to by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Lease (the “Permitted Transferee”) and may be exercised only by the original Lessee executing the Lease and/or any Permitted Transferee while occupying the entire Premises and without the intent of thereafter assigning the Lease or subletting the Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by any person or entity other than the original Lessee executing the Lease and/or any Permitted Transferee. The Option is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may the Option be separated from the Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.
(c) Lessee shall have no right to exercise the Option, notwithstanding any provision of the grant of Option to the contrary, and Lessee’s exercise of the Option may be nullified by Lessor and deemed of no further force or effect, if (i) Lessee shall be in default of any monetary obligation or material non-monetary obligation beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under the terms of the Lease as of Lessee’s exercise of the Option or at any time after the exercise of such Option and prior to the commencement of the Option event, or (ii) Lessor has given Lessee two (2) or more notices of default and Lessee has failed to cure same on or before the expiration of any applicable cure period, during any twelve (12) consecutive month period.
3. LESSEE’S INSPECTIONS AND OTHER DUE DILIGENCE.
(a) General Due Diligence. Except for title and survey matters (which shall be governed by the provisions of Paragraph 4 below), Lessee shall have until the expiration of the Purchase Option Term, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE (the period of time commencing upon the date hereof and continuing through and including such time on such date being herein called the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to perform and complete all of Lessee’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the purchase of the Premises (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), including all leases and service contracts, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Premises (collectively, the “Investigations”),
Rider 1
which Investigations shall at all times be subject to Lessee’s compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 3 and all other terms and conditions of this Lease. During the Due Diligence Period, Lessee shall maintain reasonable access to the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease and Lessor shall also make available to Lessee, at the offices of Lessor and/or the property manager of the Premises, access to such leases, service contracts, and other contracts and agreements with respect to the Premises in Lessor’s possession as Lessee shall reasonably request, all upon reasonable advance written notice; provided, however, in no event shall Lessor be obligated to make available (1) any document or correspondence which would be subject to the attorney-client privilege; (2) any document or item which Lessor is contractually or otherwise bound to keep confidential; (3) any documents pertaining to the marketing of the Premises for sale to prospective purchasers; (4) any internal memoranda, reports or assessments of Lessor or Lessor’s affiliates relating to Lessor’s valuation of the Premises; (5) appraisals of the Premises whether prepared internally by Lessor or Lessor’s affiliates or externally; or (6) any documents which Lessor considers confidential or proprietary. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, at no cost or expense to Lessor, copies of all surveys, soil test results, engineering, asbestos, environmental and other studies and reports (other than internal analysis and proprietary information of the Lessee) relating to the Investigations which Lessee shall obtain with respect to the Premises promptly after Lessee’s receipt of same.
Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Lessee or Lessee’s Representatives, without the prior written consent of Lessor (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld): (i) make any intrusive physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at the Premises (such as soil borings, water samplings or the like), and/or (ii) contact any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises.
The foregoing obligations shall survive the termination of this Lease and/or the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
(b) Premises Information and Confidentiality. All Information (as hereinafter defined) provided to Lessee shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) Neither Lessor nor any Lessor Indemnified Party makes any representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Information, or any other studies, documents, reports or other information provided to Lessee hereunder and expressly disclaims any implied representations as to any matter disclosed or omitted.
(ii) Lessee agrees that neither Lessee nor Lessee’s Representatives shall, at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose or communicate to any person, entity or association the Information, or any other knowledge or information acquired by Lessee or Lessee’s Representatives from Lessor, any Lessor Indemnified Party or by Lessee’s own inspections and investigations, other than matters that were in the public domain at the time of receipt by Lessee or Lessee’s Representatives. Without Lessor’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), Lessee shall not disclose and Lessee shall direct Lessee’s Representatives not to disclose to any person, entity or association or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to this Lease or the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the status hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may disclose such of the Information and its other reports, studies, documents and other matters generated by it and the terms of this Lease and/or the Purchase Agreement (A) as required by law or court order (provided prior written notice of such disclosure shall be provided to Lessor) and (B) as Lessee deems necessary or desirable to Lessee’s Representatives in connection with Lessee’s Investigation and the transaction contemplated hereby, provided that those to whom such Information is disclosed are informed of the confidential nature thereof and agree(s) to keep the same confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(iii) Intentionally Omitted.
(iv) Lessee and Lessee’s Representatives shall use reasonable care to maintain in good condition all of the Information furnished or made available to Lessee and/or Lessee’s Representatives in accordance with this Paragraph 3(b). In the event this Lease and/or the Purchase Agreement is terminated, Lessee and Lessee’s Representatives shall promptly deliver to Lessor all originals and copies of the Information in the possession of Lessee and Lessee’s Representatives.
Rider 1
(v) As used in this Rider 1, the term “Information” shall mean any of the following: (A) all information and documents in any way relating to the Premises, the operation thereof or the sale thereof, including, without limitation, all leases and contracts furnished to, or otherwise made available for review by, Lessee or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, partners, members, brokers, agents or other representatives, including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, contractors, consultants, engineers and financial advisors (collectively, “Lessee’s Representatives”), by Lessor or any Lessor Indemnified Party or their agents or representatives, including, without limitation, their contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, brokers or advisors, and (B) all analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Lessee or Lessee’s Representatives containing or based on, in whole or in part, the information or documents described in the preceding clause (A), the Investigations, or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the Premises.
(vi) In addition to any other remedies available to Lessor, Lessor shall have the right to seek equitable relief; including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Lessee or Lessee’s Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Paragraph 3(b).
(vii) Notwithstanding any terms or conditions in this Lease and/or the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, no conditions of confidentiality within the meaning of IRC §6111(d) or the Treasury Regulations promulgated under IRC Sec. 6011 are intended, and the parties hereto are expressly authorized to disclose every U.S. federal income tax aspect of any transaction covered by the Purchase Agreement with any and all persons, without limitation of any kind.
(viii) The provisions of this Paragraph 3(b) shall survive the termination of this Lease and/or the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
(c) In accordance with the foregoing, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, except for title and survey matters (which shall be governed by the provisions of Paragraph 4 below), upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, Lessee shall be deemed to have (i) performed and completed all of Lessee’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the purchase of the Premises, including all leases and service contracts, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Premises, and (ii) irrevocably approved the then existing condition of the Premises.
4. LESSEE’S REVIEW OF TITLE.
(a) Title to the Premises.
(i) Prior to executing the Purchase Agreement, Lessee shall have confirmed that Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) is committed to insure Lessee as the fee owner of the Premises in the amount of the Purchase Price by issuance of an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy (the “Owner’s Policy”) containing any endorsements desired by Lessee and in the standard form issued by the Title Company in the State of California, subject only to those exceptions acceptable to Lessee.
(ii) In accordance with the foregoing, Lessee shall have ordered, at its sole cost and expense, prior to executing the Purchase Agreement, a commitment for an owner’s fee title insurance policy or policies with respect to the Premises (the “Title Commitment”) from the Title Company, and shall have caused the Title Company to deliver a copy of the Title Commitment, together with true, legible and complete copies of all instruments giving rise to any defects or exceptions to title to the Premises, to Lessor’s attorneys concurrently with delivery of the Title Commitment to Lessee or Lessee’s attorneys. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, Lessee shall be deemed to have irrevocably approved the (i) the form of Title Commitment and Owner’s Policy Lessee received from Title Company prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the overall condition of title of the Premises.
(b) Lessee shall be responsible to order, at its sole cost and expense, prior to its execution of the Purchase Agreement, a survey of the Premises prepared by a surveyor registered in the State of California, certified by said surveyor to Lessee and Lessor as having been prepared in accordance with the minimum detail requirements
Rider 1
of the ALTA land survey requirements, and cause a copy of the survey to be delivered to Lessor and Lessor’s attorneys simultaneously with the delivery of same to Lessee.
(c) Prior to Lessee’s execution of the Purchase Agreement, Lessee shall confirm that the Owner’s Policy shall contain any endorsements desired by Lessee. The issuance of any such endorsements shall not be or be deemed to be a condition to closing the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and in no event shall Lessor be obligated to provide any indemnity or other document or undertake any obligation in order to issue the same.
(d) In accordance with the foregoing, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay any consideration or incur any liability in order to eliminate or ameliorate any title matters disapproved by Lessee; provided, however, Lessor hereby agrees, at its expense, to cause to be removed or endorsed over prior to the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, any encumbrance recorded by Lessor or recorded as a direct result of Lessor’s actions after the date of this Lease that is not included on the Owner’s Policy (a “Lessor Recorded Encumbrance”), except Lessor shall be required to remove any financial liens that it has caused to be recorded against the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall be entitled to extend the Closing under the Purchase Agreement for up to ninety (90) days in order to attempt to remove or endorse over any Lessor Recorded Encumbrance. Lessee’s failure to disapprove in writing within five (5) days after it has obtained knowledge of a Lessor Recorded Encumbrance (i.e., either by Lessee’s receipt of [i] a copy of the instrument evidencing such encumbrance or [ii] an update to the Owner’s Policy) shall be deemed a waiver by Lessee of such Lessor Recorded Encumbrance. If Lessee obtains knowledge of any Lessor Recorded Encumbrance before the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, but nonetheless elects to proceed with the acquisition of the Premises, Lessor shall have no liability with respect to such Lessor Recorded Encumbrance, notwithstanding any contrary provision, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Lease and/or the Purchase Agreement or in any other documents.
(e) The provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall survive the termination of this Lease and/or the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
5. ADDITIONAL LESSOR COVENANT. Following the execution of this Lease and prior to the expiration of the Option Term and, if the Purchase Option is exercised, prior to the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, Lessor covenants to deliver to Lessee any material documents that Lessor receives regarding the condition of the Premises (other than those documents provided by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease or the Purchase Agreement).
