PREMISES

[YOUR COMPANY NAME], (the Lessor, hereinafter) hereby leases to [COMPANY NAME], (the Lessee hereinafter) and Lessee leases from Lessor for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, that certain real property situated in the County of [SPECIFY CITY], State of [SPECIFY STATE], commonly known as [FULL ADDRESS], [COUNTRY], [STATE/PROVINCE], and more particularly described in the site plan prepared by [COMPANY NAME], marked Exhibit [SPECIFY] which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. Said real property, including the land and all improvements therein, is called "the Premises".


TERM

Term

The term of this Lease shall be for [NUMBER] years, commencing on the Commencement Date ("Commencement Date"). Lessor understands that Lessee is in negotiations with the existing lessee on the Premises, [SPECIFY COMPANY] whereby Lessee would occupy the Premises prior to the expiration of the term of [SPECIFY COMPANY]s lease, and Lessor shall attempt to accommodate Lessee to facilitate this early occupancy. In the event that Lessee and [SPECIFY COMPANY] reach an agreement, at Lessee's election it shall either: (i) enter into a sublease with [SPECIFY COMPANY] for the balance of the term of [SPECIFY COMPANY]s lease, in which event the Commencement Date of this Lease shall be [DATE]; or (ii) request that Lessor terminate [SPECIFY COMPANY]s lease and accelerate the commencement of this Lease, in which event the Commencement Date shall be the date on which Lessor delivers the Premises to Lessee in accordance with this Lease.

Option to Extend

Lessee is given the option to extend the Lease term for [NUMBER] year period following expiration of the initial Lease term, which option may be exercised only by written notice ("Option Notice") from Lessee to Lessor given not less than [NUMBER] days prior to the end of the initial Lease term; provided, however, if Lessee is in material default on the date of giving the Option Notice, the option Notice shall be totally ineffective, or if Lessee is in material default on the date the Extended Term is to commence, such Extended Term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the initial Lease term. In the event of an Extended Term, the Extended Term shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease excepting rent which shall be at [%] of the then fair market rental value, as determined under subparagraph (b) below, but in no event less than the monthly rent prevailing on the last month of the initial Lease term.

The parties shall agree on the fair market rental value of the Premises for said Extended Term, including fair market periodic adjustments thereto, during the first [NUMBER] days of year [NUMBER] of the Lease Term. If the parties are able to agree on the fair market rental value for the Extended Term, (including periodic adjustments thereto), then such agreed value shall be the fair market-rental value for purposes of determining the rent for the Extended Term.

In the event the parties are unable to agree on the fair market rental value for the Premises (including periodic adjustments) within that time, then at Lessee's written request, within [NUMBER] days of the expiration of that [NUMBER] day period, each party shall separately designate an appraiser to make this determination. Within [NUMBER] business days of their appointment, the two designated appraisers shall jointly designate a third appraiser. The failure of either party to appoint an appraiser within the time allowed shall be deemed equivalent to appointing the appraiser appointed by the other party. No person shall be appointed or designated an appraiser unless he is then a member of [SPECIFY]. 

Appraisal shall be on the basis of the Premises "as is" except for improvements and fixtures which are the sole property of Lessee. If, within [NUMBER] business days after the appointment of all appraisers, a majority of the appraisers concur on the value of the then current fair market rental value for the Premises, including fair market periodic adjustments thereto, that appraisal shall be the accepted fair market rental value. If a majority of the appraisers do not concur within that period, the determination of the appraiser whose appraisal is neither highest nor lowest shall be the accepted fair market rental value. The parties shall share the appraisal expenses equally.

Delay in Possession

The parties agree that if for any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on or before [DATE], such failure shall not constitute a breach of this agreement by Lessor, and shall not entitle Lessee to terminate this Lease. Lessee shall not be obligated to pay rent, nor shall the Lease Term commence until possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee.

Early Possession

If Lessee occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date other than as a Sublessee of [SPECIFY COMPANY], such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions hereof, and Lessee shall pay rent for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth below; provided, however, that Lessee may enter the Premises prior to commencement solely for the purpose of installing fixtures or equipment or improvements without being required to pay rent.

Lessor agrees to attempt to locate [NUMBER] offices in the [SPECIFY LOCATION] for use by Lessee as office space by [DATE]. In addition, Lessor agrees to attempt to locate space in the [SPECIFY LOCATION] for use by Lessee as [SPECIFY] by [DATE], additional space for use as a [SPECIFY] by [DATE], and additional space for use as [SPECIFY] by [DATE]. However, Lessor does not and cannot guarantee such space to Lessee, and this Lease shall not be contingent on Lessee's occupancy of any such space prior to the Lease Commencement Date.

Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder within [NUMBER] days after Lessee's request and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of this lease.

Lessee Affiliate

Lessee may assign or sublet the premises, or any portion thereof, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires all, or substantially all of the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease.

No Release of Lessee

Regardless of Lessor's consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee.

Attorneys' Fees

In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment of subletting or if Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.

Excess Rent

In the event Lessor shall consent to a sublease or an assignment under the lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor with its regularly scheduled rent payments [%] percent of all sums collected by Lessee from a sublessee or assignee which are/in excess of the rent then owing pursuant to Article [NUMBER] and after subtracting all leasing commissions, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs, reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred by Lessee in connection with the sublet or assignment. Lessor shall not share compensation received by Lessee for its trade fixtures, goodwill, stock, or property other than the Lease.

No Impairment of Security

Lessee's written request to Lessor for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be accompanied by (a) the name and legal composition of the proposed sublessee; (b) the nature of the proposed sublessee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease; and (d) such financial and other reasonable information as Lessor may request concerning the proposed sublessee. Lessor's consent shall not be deemed unreasonably withheld if consent is denied because the prospective sublessee or assignee will impair Lessor's security.


DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

Defaults

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:

The abandonment of the Premises by Lessee;

The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of [NUMBER] days after such payment is due. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall constitute notice under this Section;

The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of [NUMBER] days after written notice hereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that more than [NUMBER] days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commences such cure within said [NUMBER] day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion;

(i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor"; (iii) the taking or suffering of any action by Lessee under any insolvency or bankruptcy act; (iv) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, or (v) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease. Provided, however, in the event that any provisions of this Section is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect;

The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.

Remedies

In the event of any such material default or breach by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such default or breach:

Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises and reasonable attorney's fees related thereto; the worth at the time of award determined by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided.

Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state of [SPECIFY STATE]. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the prime rate then charged by [SPECIFY BANK].

Default by Lessor

Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event later than [NUMBER] days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than [NUMBER] days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such [NUMBER]-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In the event Lessor does not commence performance within the [NUMBER] day period provided herein, or does not diligently prosecute the same to completion, Lessee may perform such obligation and will be reimbursed for its expenses by Lessor together with interest thereon at the prime commercial lending rate then charged by the [SPECIFY BANK], provided, however, that if the parties are in dispute as to what constitutes Lessor's obligations under this agreement, any such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in a manner identical to that provided in Section [NUMBER]. Nothing herein shall be deemed applicable in the event of Lessor's delay in delivery of the Premises. In that situation, all rights and remedies shall be determined under Section [NUMBER] above.

Late Charges

Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.

Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designated agent within [NUMBER] days after such amount is due and owing, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to [%] of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for [NUMBER] consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding section [NUMBER] or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.

Impounds

In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for [NUMBER] installments of rent or any other monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease within a [NUMBER] month period, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments required under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same time as the monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and insurance expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due, before delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance premiums. If the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this paragraph are insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property taxes and insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within [NUMBER] business days after Lessor's demand, such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this paragraph may, at the option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in lieu of being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance premiums.


CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES

Total Condemnation

If the entire Premises, whether by exercise of governmental power or the sale or transfer by Lessor to any condemnor under threat of condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending, at any time during the term, shall be taken by condemnation such that there does not remain a portion suitable for occupation, this Lease shall then terminate as of the date transfer of possession is required. Upon such condemnation, all rent shall be paid up to the date transfer of possession is required, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of the unexpired term of this Lease.

Partial Condemnation

If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation during the term, whether by exercise of governmental power or the sale or transfer by Lessor to a condemnor under threat of condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that in the event a partial taking leaves the Premises unfit for normal and proper conduct of the business of Lessee, as reasonably determined by Lessee, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon the date transfer of possession is required. Moreover, Lessor and Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective on the date transfer of possession is required if more than [%] percent of the total square footage of the Premises is taken by condemnation. Lessee and Lessor may elect to exercise their respective rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section by serving written notice to the other within [NUMBER] days of their receipt of notice of condemnation. 

All rent shall be paid up to the date of termination, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the Lease value of any unexpired term of this Lease. If this Lease shall not be cancelled, the rent after such partial taking shall be that percentage of the adjusted base rent specified herein, equal to the percentage which the square footage of the untaken part of the Premises, immediately after the taking, bears to the square footage of the entire Premises immediately before the taking. Any sums owing hereunder which are calculated on the basis of Lessee's pro rata share shall also be adjusted to reflect the decreased square footage of the Premises due to the condemnation. During the last [NUMBER] months of the Lease Term and during the Extended Term, if any, if Lessee's continued use of the Premises requires alterations and repair by reason of a partial taking, all such alterations and repair shall be made by Lessee at Lessee's expense.

Award to Lessee

In the event of any condemnation, whether total or partial, Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee for loss of its business fixtures, or equipment belonging to Lessee immediately prior to the condemnation or for the interruption of Lessee's business, or its moving costs. The balance of any [NUMBER] condemnation award shall belong to Lessor and Lessee shall have no further right to recover from Lessor or the condemning authority for any additional claims arising out of such taking.


ENTRY BY LESSOR

Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agent to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the following purposes: to inspect the Premises; to maintain the building in which the Premises are located; to make such repairs, alterations; and additions to the Premises as Lessor is obligated or may elect to make; to show the Premises and post "To Lease" signs for the purposes of reletting during the last [NUMBER] days of the term; to show the Premises as part of a prospective sale by Lessor or to post notices of non-responsibility. Lessor shall have such right of entry without any rebate of rent to Lessee for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned.


ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

Lessee shall at any time upon not less than [NUMBER] days prior written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.

Lessee's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Lessee 

that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Lessor, 

that there are no uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, and 

that not more than one month's rent has been paid in advance; or such failure may be considered by Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.


LESSOR'S LIABILITY

The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or a Lessee's interest in a ground lease of the Premises. In the event of any transfer of such title or interest, and provided such successor assumes all obligations of Lessor hereunder, Lessor herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers then the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.


EXPIRATION ON TERMINATION

Surrender of Possession

Lessee agrees to deliver up and surrender to Lessor possession of the Premises and all improvements thereon, in as good order and condition as when possession was taken by Lessee, excepting only ordinary wear and tear or any permitted alterations. Upon termination of this Lease, Lessor may reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom. If Lessee shall fail to remove any effects which it is entitled to remove from the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, for any cause whatsoever, Lessor, at its option, may remove the same and store or dispose of them, and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand any and all reasonable expenses incurred in such removal and in making the Premises free from all dirt, litter, and debris, including all storage and insurance charges. If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the Term, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, actual damages for lost rents.

Holding Over

If Lessee, with or without Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the Premises after expiration of the term and if Lessor and Lessee have not executed an express written agreement as to such holding over, then such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month, at a monthly rental equivalent to [%] of the monthly rental in effect immediately prior to such expiration if the remainder in possession is without Lessor's consent, and at a monthly rental equivalent to [%] of the monthly rental in effect immediately prior to such expiration if the remainder in possession is with Lessor's consent, such payments to be made as herein provided. In the event of such holding over all of the terms of this Lease including the payment of all charges owing hereunder other than rent shall remain in force and effect on said month to month basis.


MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Severability

The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

Interest on Past-due Obligations

Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the prime commercial lending rate then in effect at [SPECIFY BANK]. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease.

Time of Essence

Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under this Lease.

Additional Rent

Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.

Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments

This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the Lessor nor any employees or agents of the Lessor has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the [YOUR COUNTRY] Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease except as otherwise specifically stated in this Lease.

Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by [SPECIFY], [SPECIFY] or certified mail, and if given personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the respective parties, as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to Lessee. Notice shall be considered effective either [NUMBER] hours after mailing or upon actual receipt, whichever is earlier.

Waivers

No waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or any other provisions. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

Recording

Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.

Cumulative Remedies

No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

Covenants and Conditions

Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee or Lessor shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

Binding Effect; Choice of Law; Venue

Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of [SPECIFY], this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of [SPECIFY STATE]. Venue for any action or proceeding brought to enforce or defend this agreement, and for any other purpose hereunder, shall be [SPECIFY CITY] County.

Subordination of Leasehold

Lessee agrees that this Lease is and shall be, at all times, subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or other encumbrances which Lessor may create against the Premises including all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that regardless of any default under any such mortgage or encumbrance or any sale of the Premises under such mortgage, so long as Lessee performs all covenants and conditions of this Lease and continues to make all payments hereunder, this Lease and Lessee's possession and rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by the mortgagee or anyone claiming under or through such mortgagee.

Attorneys' Fees

If either party herein brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the Court.

Auctions

Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

Signs

Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Lessee shall have the right to display its name on the building "tombstone" in accordance with applicable law.

Voluntary Surrender or Merger

The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all of such subtenancies.

Guarantor

In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

Quiet Possession

Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the Premises.

Rules and Regulations

Lessee agrees that it will abide by, keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of the building and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order therein as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the building. The continued violations of any such rules and regulations shall be deemed a material breach of this Lease. Lessee, however, shall not be bound by any future rules or regulations, unless it shall approve same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Easements

Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, Maps and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee.

Delays for Cause

In any case where either party hereto is required to do any act, delays caused by or resulting from Acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, materials or equipment, government regulations, unusually severe weather, or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control shall not be counted in determining the time during which work shall be completed, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or "a reasonable time", and such time shall be deemed to be extended by the period of such delay.

The parties agree that the leased Premise is approximately [NUMBER] square feet, said square footage being measured from the face of the outside (concrete) walls and includes the covered docks and entry ways.

Brokers

LESSOR AND LESSEE HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND REVIEWED THIS LEASE AND EACH TERM AND PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN AND, BY EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE, SHOW THEIR INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY CONSENT THERETO. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT, AT THE TIME THIS LEASE IS EXECUTED, THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE ARE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE AND EFFECTUATE THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF LESSOR AND LESSEE WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES.
