LANDLORD AND TENANT. This Lease ("Lease") is entered into this 21st day of April,2016, by and between Industrial  Equities Group, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Landlord") and DJO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Tenant").

 

 

 

1.2

PREMISES.   Landlord hereby rents, leases, lets and demises to Tenant the following described property ("Premises"), as illustrated on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, approximately 34,316 rentable square feet (consisting of approximately 2,616 square feet of warehouse space, approximately 31,556 square feet of office space and approximately 144 square feet of common area) located in a building (the "Building") commonly referred to as Lakeview Business Campus III, with a street address of 601 Campus Drive, New Brighton, Minnesota 55112   which   consists   of   approximately   46,970   square   feet ("Property").   A floor plan of the Premises is attached as Exhibit B and a description of improvements to be constructed is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

 

 

 

1.3

LEASE   TERM.   The term   of this Lease   shall   commence   on October 1, 2016 ("Commencement Date") and shall terminate December 31, 2023 unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. In the event that Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed in default of this Lease, and Landlord may commence eviction proceedings.   Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the option, in case of any such holding over, to convert the Lease term from a fixed term to a tenancy at will, in which case the term will continue and no eviction proceedings commenced until the tenancy at will is terminated. Whether or not Landlord opts to convert the term to a tenancy at will, Tenant will be liable, during any holding over period, for base rent in an amount equal to one and a quarter (1.25) times the Base Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had the holdover period been a part of the original term of this Lease, together with all additional rent as provided in this Lease. Because rent will accrue with respect to any holdover period in any event, no acceptance of rent by Landlord will be deemed an election to convert the term to a tenancy at will. Rather, Landlord will have the right to bring eviction proceedings unless and until Landlord elects, by written notice, to convert the term to a tenancy at will.

 

 

Landlord hereby agrees that the Landlord's Work shall be completed as evidenced by the issuance of a City issued Certificate of Occupancy, and delivery of possession shall be delivered to Tenant no later than October 1, 2016 (the "Outside Delivery and Completion Date").   Landlord hereby acknowledges and understands that (a) the Tenant is a party to a certain lease agreement (the "Tenant's Current Lease"), wherein the Tenant is currently operating at another location (the "Tenant's Current Location") and (b) the execution of this Lease (i) has resulted in the Tenant's termination of the Tenant's Current Lease; and (ii) will result in  the Tenant's relocation of all or  a portion of  its operations from the Tenant's Current Location to the Premises. As a result of the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges and understands that it is critical to the Tenant's operations that early access to the Premises is granted to Tenant on August 1, 2016 and that the Landlord's Work is completed and that delivery of possession occur no later than the Outside Delivery and Completion Date. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) in the event that the Landlord fails to grant Tenant early access to the Premises by August 1, 2016 as contemplated in Section 14.13 below; or (b) in the event that the Landlord's Work has not been completed on or before the Outside Delivery and Completion Date or (c) in the event that delivery of possession has not yet occurred on or before the Outside Delivery and Completion  Date, and provided that such delay was not caused by the Tenant, in addition to any other rights or remedies which are available to Tenant under this Lease and/or which are otherwise available to Tenant at law or in equity, Landlord shall be obligated to pay to the Tenant an amount which is equal to $2,600.00 per day.

ARTICLE 2. RENT, OPERATING EXPENSES AND SECURITY DEPOSIT, LATE CHARGES AND REPAYMENT OF FREE RENT

 

 

2.1

BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay monthly as Base Rent during the term of this Lease the sum of money set forth in Section 1.4 of this Lease, which amount shall be payable  to Landlord at the address shown above. One monthly installment shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date during the term of this Lease; provided, if the Commencement Date should be a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then the base rent shall be pro rated on a per diem basis, and all succeeding installments of rent shall be payable on or before the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the term of this Lease.   Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, all other sums due under this Lease.   Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever (other than Tenant's default), cannot deliver possession  of the Premises to the Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom (other than as described in the second paragraph of Section 1.3 above), but all rent shall be abated until Landlord delivers possession, and the Commencement Date shall be adjusted as necessary.

 

 

 

2.2

OPERATING EXPENSES. Commencing as of the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent ("additional rent"), Tenant's pro rata share (as defined in Section 1.7 above) of the operating expenses of Landlord for the Building (the "operating   expenses").     Landlord shall invoice Tenant monthly for Tenant's pro rata share of the estimated operating expenses for each calendar year. Within six (6) months following the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant an accounting showing in reasonable detail the computations of additional rent due under this Section. In the event the total of the monthly payments made by Tenant exceeds the amount of additional rent due by Tenant under this Section, the accounting shall be accompanied by evidence of a credit to Tenant's account.   If the total of the monthly payments made by Tenant is less than the amount of additional rent due by Tenant under this Section, the accounting shall be accompanied by an invoice for the additional rent. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Lease, during the year in which this Lease terminates, Landlord, prior to the termination date, shall have the option to invoice Tenant for Tenant's pro rata share of the operating expenses based upon the previous calendar year's operating expenses. If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of any additional  rent payable by Tenant applicable to the year in which the termination shall occur shall be pro rated on the ratio that the number of days from the commencement of the calendar year to and including such termination date bears to 365.   Tenant agrees to pay any additional rent due under this Section within thirty (30) days following receipt of the invoice or accounting (together with reasonable supporting documentation) showing additional rent due. Tenant's pro rata share set forth in Section 1.7 shall, subject to reasonable adjustment by Landlord, be equal to a percentage based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the total area of the Premises as set forth in Section 1.2 above and the denominator of which shall be the net rentable area of the Building, as the same may change from time to time. Landlord shall maintain books and records showing, in reasonable detail, actual operating expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All such books and records shall be made available to Tenant for inspection  upon reasonable prior notice.   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any capital improvements to the Building over $15,000.00 shall be amortized at 8% interest over its useful   life in accordance   with generally   acceptable   accounting principles (GAAP).

41905151-2

 


 

 

 

2.5

SECURITY DEPOSIT.   The security deposit set forth in Section 1.6 shall be held by Landlord for the performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood that the security deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damage in case of default by Tenant.   Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant or breach by Tenant of Tenant's covenants under this Lease, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the security deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent, or to repair any damage or injury, or pay any expense or liability incurred by Landlord as a result of the event of default or breach of covenant, and any remaining balance of the security deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant upon termination of this Lease. If any portion of the security deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall upon ten (10) days written notice from Landlord, deposit with Landlord by cash or cashier's check an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount.

 

 

 

2.6

LATE CHARGES.   Tenant's failure to pay rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain, such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Property.   Therefore, if Landlord doesn't receive any rent payment within five (5) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

 

 

 

2.7

INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date of such amount. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.   The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.   If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.

 

 

ARTICLE 3. OCCUPANCY AND USE

 

 

3.1

USE.   Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to use the Premises for the purpose as set forth in Section 1.5.

Tenant shall neither permit any waste on the Premises nor permit the Premises to be used in any way which would in the opinion of Landlord, be extra hazardous on account of fire or which would in any way increase or render void the fire insurance on the Building.

The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall survive the expiration of earlier termination, for any reason, of this Lease.

 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not have any liability with respect to, and Landlord shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless for, from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, suits, judgments, actions, investigations, proceedings and liabilities arising out of or in connection with (i) any Hazardous Materials present on the Property or Premises prior to the Commencement Date, (ii) any Hazardous Materials brought onto the Property or the Premises by any third party (other than employees or invitees of Tenant) during the lease term or (iii) the migration of any Hazardous Materials described in clauses (i) or (ii) at any time before, during or after the lease term.

LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. If Landlord shall be in default under this Lease and, if as a consequence of such default, Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Building as the same  may then be encumbered and neither Landlord nor any person or entity comprising Landlord shall be liable for any deficiency.   In no event shall Tenant have the right to levy execution against any property of Landlord nor any person or entity comprising Landlord other than its interest in the Building as herein expressly provided.

BROKER AS OWNER/MANAGEMENT AGENT.   Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that the person authorized to execute this Lease and manage the Premises is John N. Allen, who is a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Minnesota and Tenant hereby acknowledges and consents to this Landlord/Broker relationship.

EARLY ACCESS: Provided Tenant does not interfere with Landlord performance of the Landlord's Work and provides Landlord with a certificate of liability insurance form, Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises on August 1, 2016 for installation of improvements, furniture, fixtures,  telecommunications and equipment purposes.     During any such early access by Tenant, such early access shall be expressly subject to the terms of this Lease; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay any Base Rent, additional rent or any other amounts prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant shall be obligated for utilities (gas and electric) upon access.

OPTION TO RENEW: By written notice given to Landlord at least twelve (12) monthsprior to the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant may elect to renew this Lease for one (1) additional term of five (5) years.   The renewal shall be upon all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except the base rent shall be at the then prevailing market rate with annual increases for similar spaces in the market area and except that the rate shall not be less than the current rental rate and provided further that Tenant shall have no further renewal options after the first option. The market rate shall not take into account any value attributable to specialized improvements Tenant has installed in the Premises.   If the parties cannot agree on the amount of the prevailing market rate, the matter shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.   The arbitrator shall be a Real Estate professional with at least (10) years' experience in evaluating properties similar to this building.   The arbitrators determined market rate and annual increases shall take effect as of the renewal date of the Lease.

14.15

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER: After Landlord initially leases all contiguous space at the Lease Premises, provided Tenant is not in default under the terms and conditions of this Lease and provided further that at least four (4) years either remain on the lease term or Tenant agrees to modify the lease under terms  and conditions acceptable to Landlord to provide for a total of four (4) years on the total leased premises, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice that specifically defined (in the notice) space, contiguous to the existing Premises, is either immediately available  for occupancy or will become available for occupancy within the next 180 days.   After Landlord gives such notice, Tenant  has a ten (10) business day option to lease this contiguous space, as-is, with no improvements or warranties as to condition, for a term beginning when the space becomes available for occupancy by Tenant and ending with the term of Tenant's Lease, subject to any option to extend or renew. If, by the end of said ten (10) business day period, Tenant does not inform Landlord in writing that Tenant is electing to exercise such option for this contiguous space, then Tenant shall be deemed not to have exercised such option.   The rental rates used in the Lease will carry over and apply to the contiguous space, provided, though, that Landlord shall have the right to adjust the rate (and will so state in its notice to Tenant), as Landlord sees fit in its reasonable discretion, to reflect any differences in the quality or type of space or finish found in the contiguous space compared to the existing Premises. Example: an upward adjustment  to reflect more office finished space in the contiguous space. Landlord will not lease the contiguous space to a third party until Landlord gives Tenant the notice and the ten (10) business day option described herein to add the contiguous space to the Premises has expired. If Tenant does not exercise such option within the ten (10) business days allowed, with time being of the essence, the right of first offer, created in this Section, will expire, whereupon Landlord will have the right to lease the contiguous space to a third party on such terms as Landlord may desire.

 

 

 

14.16

LANDLORD LIEN WAIVER.   Landlord waives any right, title or interest in Tenant's personal property located on the Premises, including, without limitation, any landlord's lien or other right or interest that would arise in law or at equity or attach to Tenant's personal property as a result of Tenant's entering into this Lease.
