Lessor’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.”

 

  b.

transferee to Lessee in connection with such assignment or sublease, as applicable, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Lessee to an assignee or sublessee, as applicable. Provided that Lessee delivers to Lessor supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Lessor, Lessee may deduct from the Transfer Premium all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessee in connection with the assignment or sublease, as applicable, amortized over the remaining Term (in the event of an assignment) or the term of the sublease (in the event of a sublease), as the case may be, including any reasonable brokerage commissions paid by Lessee, any free rent provided by the Lessee, any other improvements and/or improvement costs of any nature provided or paid by the Lessee in connection with such assignment or sublease. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the Transfer Premium prior to the effective date of, and as an express condition to Lessor’s obligation to consent to, the assignment or sublease. Lessor or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Lessee relating to any sublease, assignment or other transfer (including, but not limited to, a sale of Lessee’s business), and shall have the right to make copies thereof.

  c.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessor acknowledges and agrees that Lessee intends to sublet a portion of the Premises as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. In connection therewith, Lessor agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to such initial sublease transaction, however Lessee agrees that the Transfer Premium shall be payable in connection therewith to the extent applicable. Following such initial sublease transaction, Lessor’s right to withhold consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease shall be subject to Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion pursuant to Section 14(a) above.

Confidentiality.  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the terms and conditions of the Lease (including this Amendment) are to remain confidential, and may not be disclosed by Lessor or Lessee to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without the other party’s prior written consent; however, each party may disclose the terms and conditions of the Lease (including this Amendment) to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners, or if required by law, court order or the rule of any recognized stock exchange upon which a party’s securities are listed, provided all parties to whom either party is permitted hereunder to disclose such terms and conditions are advised by such party of the confidential nature of such terms and conditions and agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof (in each case, prior to disclosure).

26.

Acquisition Contingency.  This Amendment shall be null and void and of no further force and effect in the event that Lessor (or a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of Lessor) does not acquire the Project from Original Lessor on or before the date which is ninety (90) days following the mutual execution and delivery of this Amendment. Original Lessor shall not be a third-party beneficiary of this Amendment but this amendment shall be effective as to Lessor and its assigns as of the date of closing of such acquisition (the “Effective Date”), which closing shall be evidenced by recordation in the official records of Maricopa County, Arizona of a warranty deed conveying the Premises from Original Lessor to Lessor. The Effective Date shall be deemed to be the date of such closing without any further action required on the part of either party hereto, provided that within ten (10) days following the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Effective Date and the Expiration Date of the Lease and certain other terms of the Lease shall be confirmed by the parties by the execution of a Notice of Term Dates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.

27.

Effect on Lease.  Except as hereby expressly amended, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain and continue in full force and effect. Lessee has no option rights, nor any similar rights to purchase the Premises or any part thereof (nor any right of first refusal or similar rights). Nothing herein contained alters or amends any required consent or approval required under the terms of the Lease in connection with any sublease or assignment. Submission of this Amendment by one party to another shall have no legal significance and is not an offer that may be accepted; this Amendment shall become effective only upon mutual execution and delivery hereof by all parties and contemplated signatory hereof.

 

28.

Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts (by original, facsimile or electronic PDF signatures), each of which shall be deemed an original, all of which together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.

EXHIBIT “C”

FORM OF GUARANTY

This Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) is made by DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“Guarantor”) for the benefit of CAM Investment 352 LLC (“Lessor”). This Guaranty is made with reference to the following:

A.        Lessor and DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Lessee”) are parties to that certain Commercial Lease (Triple Net) dated July 1, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated on or about the date hereof (the “First Amendment”, and collectively, the “Lease”) with respect to certain premises more particularly described in the Lease (the “Premises”).

B.        This Guaranty is being made as a material inducement to Lessor to enter into the First Amendment and Lessor would not enter into the First Amendment without the execution of this Guaranty by Guarantor.

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for good, adequate and valuable consideration, the receipt of which Guarantor acknowledges, and to induce Lessor to enter into the Lease, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.        Definitions. Any terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings in this Guaranty, except to the extent that this Guaranty defines such terms differently.

1.1        “Lessee” means: (a) Lessee as defined above, acting on its own behalf; (b) any estate created by the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding affecting Lessee; (c) any trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or receiver of Lessee or Lessee’s property; (d) any similar person or officer, appointed pursuant to any law governing any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise; and (e) any direct or indirect assignee of Lessee’s estate under the Lease.

1.2        “Obligations” means all obligations of Lessee under the Lease (as defined in Section 1.3, below), including, without limitation: (a) the obligation to pay fixed rent; (b) the obligation to make all payments required under the Lease on account of taxes, operating expenses, indemnifications made by Lessee under the Lease, and all other matters; and (c) all other payment and performance required of Lessee under the Lease. The Obligations shall be determined without regard to any modification or reduction of the Obligations that may occur pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding affecting Lessee. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Obligations shall be determined, measured and calculated without taking into account any reduction or limitation thereof that may occur under Section 502(b)(6) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any similar or successor statute. Guarantor’s liability for the Obligations shall be determined as if no such reduction or limitation had occurred. Therefore, Guarantor’s liability may exceed Lessee’s.

1.3        “Lease” means: (a) the Lease and any renewal, modification, option, extension or assignment of the Lease (whether or not separately consented to, acknowledged or confirmed by Guarantor); and (b) Lessee’s obligations relating to the Premises during any period when Lessee is occupying the Premises or any portion thereof either (i) as a “holdover Lessee” or (ii) as a “statutory Lessee” or under any other rent regulation, rent control, rent stabilization, mandatory arbitration or other statutory scheme regulating the Lessor-Lessee relationship (the parties recognizing, however, that none of the schemes referred to in this clause “ii” would

 

  

Page 16 of 20

 

   LOGO


presently apply to the Lease). If Lessor has terminated the Lease, then at Lessor’s option, notwithstanding such termination (and in the event of any subsequent reinstatement of the Lease), all Obligations under this Guaranty shall be calculated and determined as if the Lease were still in effect. Any request by Lessor that Lessee vacate the Premises and surrender the Lease shall not affect the definition of “Lease” for all purposes of this Guaranty.

2.        Guaranty of Obligations.  Guarantor, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the complete and timely performance of each of the Obligations. This Guaranty is an absolute, primary, and continuing, guaranty of payment and performance and is independent of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease. Guarantor shall be primarily liable, jointly and severally, with Lessee and any other guarantor of the Obligations. Guarantor waives any right to require Lessor to (a) join Lessee with Guarantor in any suit arising under this Guaranty, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security given to secure Lessee’s obligations under the Lease, or (c) pursue or exhaust any other remedy in Lessor’s power. Until all of the Obligations have been discharged in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation against Lessee. Lessor may, without notice or demand and without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time, compromise, extend or otherwise modify any or all of the terms of the Lease, or fail to perfect, or fail to continue the perfection of, any security interests granted under the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Lessee elects to increase the size of the Premises, extend the term of the Lease, or otherwise expand the Obligations, Lessee’s execution of such lease documentation shall constitute Guarantor’s consent thereto (and such increased Obligations shall constitute guaranteed Obligations hereunder); Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights to consent thereto. Guarantor waives any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lessor. Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and waives all notices of existence, creation or incurring of new or additional obligations from Lessee to Lessor. Guarantor further waives all defenses afforded guarantors or based on suretyship or impairment of collateral under applicable law, other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be affected by (1) the release or discharge of Lessee from, or impairment, limitation or modification of, Lessee’s obligations under the Lease in any bankruptcy, receivership, or other debtor relief proceeding, whether state or federal and whether voluntary or involuntary; (2) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceeding; or (3) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Lessee under the Lease. The obligations of Lessee under the Lease to execute and deliver estoppel statements, as therein provided, shall be deemed to also require the Guarantor hereunder to do so and provide the same relative to Guarantor following written request by Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Lease. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Lessor’s successors and assigns.

3.        Waiver of Jury Trial. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY ACTIONS OF LESSOR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY.

4.        Lessor’s Costs.  Guarantor shall pay to Lessor all costs incurred by Lessor in enforcing this Guaranty (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

 

   Page 17 of 20    LOGO


5.        Notices. All notices and other communications given pursuant to, or in connection with, this Guaranty shall be delivered in the same manner required in the Lease. All notices or other communications addressed to Guarantor shall be delivered at the address set forth below.

6.        Lessee’s Financial Condition. Guarantor represents that Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition of Lessee. Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor’s own independent investigation and based in no part upon any representation or statement by Lessor. Guarantor is not relying upon, nor expecting, Lessor to furnish Guarantor with any information concerning the financial condition of Lessee.

7.        No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Guaranty is executed and delivered for the benefit of Lessor and its successors and assigns, and is not intended to benefit any third party.

8.        Interpretation. This Guaranty shall be governed under the law of the State in which the Premises is located. Guarantor represents and warrants that the recitals of this Guaranty are true and correct.

9.        ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS GUARANTY CONTAINS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY. THIS GUARANTY SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PRIOR WRITTEN, ORAL OR IMPLIED UNDERSTANDINGS OR AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE NOT RELYING UPON ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND/OR WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY CONTAINED WITHIN THIS GUARANTY OR THE LEASE AND THAT NO SUCH EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. NO COURSE OF PRIOR DEALINGS AMONG THE PARTIES, NO USAGE OF TRADE, AND NO PAROL OR EXTRINSIC EVIDENCE OF ANY NATURE SHALL BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT, MODIFY OR VARY ANY TERMS OF THIS GUARANTY. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL BEFORE ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THAT IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY THEY ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY PROMISE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS AN INDUCEMENT OR REASON TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY. NO TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS GUARANTY MAY BE CHANGED, WAIVED, REVOKED OR AMENDED WITHOUT LESSOR’S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT. IF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION DETERMINES THAT ANY PROVISION OF THIS GUARANTY IS UNENFORCEABLE, THEN ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS GUARANTY SHALL REMAIN FULLY EFFECTIVE.

Lessee shall not (either with or without negligence) cause or permit the escape, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal or release of any biologically or chemically active or other hazardous substances or materials in, on or about the Premises. Lessee shall not allow the storage or use of such substances or materials in any manner not sanctioned by law and by the highest standards prevailing in the industry for the storage and use of such substances or materials, nor allow to be brought into the Project any such materials or substances except to use in the ordinary course of Lessee’s business, and then only after written notice is given to Lessor of the identity of such substances or materials. Without limitation, hazardous substances and materials shall include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted under these acts. In all events, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor in the manner elsewhere provided in this Lease Agreement from any release of hazardous materials on the Premises occurring while Lessee is in possession, or elsewhere if caused by Lessee or persons acting under Lessee. The within covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease Agreement.

REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND COMMON AREA EXPENSES.

6.1         For purposes of this Lease, the following terms shall be defined as follows:

 (a)         The term “Common Areas” shall be defined to mean those areas of the Project to be used in common with others entitled thereto, except the Premises and all similar areas leased to others or reserved to Lessor’s exclusive use. The Common Areas include, without limitation, parking areas, service roads and areas, loading and dock facilities, sidewalks, courtyards, gardens, and such other common additional areas and facilities as may be designated as a part of the Common Areas from time to time by Lessor.

 (b)         The term ‘Common Area Expenses” shall be defined to mean the total cost and expense incurred by Lessor or Lessor’s agents in operating and maintaining the Common Areas actually used or available for use by Lessee and Lessee’s employees, agents, servants, customers and other invitees, excluding only items of expense commonly known and designated as carrying charges, but specifically including, without limitation, all sums expended by Lessor for gardening, repairing, repaving, painting, restriping, cleaning, sweeping, planting and landscaping, janitorial services, pest control, traffic control, security guards or systems, repairs, preventive and routine maintenance, line painting, lighting and other utilities, directional signs and other markers and bumpers, sanitary control, including, without limitation, all costs of maintaining and operating any air conditioning and heating, sewer, septic, or waste disposal installations, removal of garbage, trash and other refuse, depreciation on machinery and equipment used in such maintenance, cost of all utilities and services consumed or performed on the Common Areas, required fees or charges levied pursuant to any governmental authority, and a management fee (which may be payable to Lessor or its affiliates), not to exceed current market rates.


4

 

Lessor shall also have the right to include the cost of public liability and property damage insurance on the Common Areas as part of the Common Area Expenses or to separate such cost and bill Lessee separately for its pro rata share thereof.

 (c)         The term “Real Property Taxes” shall be defined to mean all taxes and assessments imposed upon the real property and permanent improvements thereto comprising the Project, or applicable to the Premises and Common Areas or any portion thereof, but shall not include personal income taxes, personal property taxes, inheritance taxes or franchise taxes levied upon the Lessor, but not directly against said real property, even though such taxes may or shall become a lien against said real property. Any such Real Property Taxes for the year in which this Lease commences or ends shall be apportioned and adjusted accordingly. With respect to any assessment which may be levied against or upon the Project or the Premises and which, under the laws then in force, may be evidenced by improvements or other bonds payable in annual installments, only the annual payments on such assessments shall be included in computing Lessee’s obligation for Real Property Taxes.

 (d)         Lessee’s pro rata share of Real Property Taxes and Common Area Expenses shall be determined based upon the ratio of the gross floor area of the Premises to the gross floor area of the building and/or complex of buildings comprising the Project. The “gross floor area” is the area measured in square feet to the center of all party walls and the exterior face of all other exterior walls. Changes in any gross floor area occurring during any monthly period shall be effective on the first day of the next succeeding month, and the amount of any gross floor area in effect for the whole of any monthly period shall be the average of the total amounts in effect on the first day of each calendar month.

6.2         Throughout the term of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, the following:

 (a)         All Real Property Taxes applicable to the Premises during the term of this Lease together with Lessee’s pro rata share of Real Property Taxes applicable to the Common Areas; provided, however, in the event the Real Property Taxes applicable to the Premises are not separately assessed and identified by separate tax bill or otherwise, the amount due from Lessee hereunder shall be Lessee’s pro rata share of Real Property Taxes applicable to the Project; and

 (b)         Lessee’s pro rata share of Common Area Expenses. Such additional rent shall be computed annually, but may be estimated by Lessor and collected from Lessee on a monthly basis, together with the rent provided in paragraph 3 hereof. Lessor shall provide Lessee with a reconciliation of Lessee’s contributions toward Real Property Taxes and Common Area Expenses on an annual basis. If such reconciliation shall determine that Lessee’s contributions are insufficient to satisfy Lessee’s obligations hereunder, as finally determined and actually incurred by Lessor for such period, Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor any such deficiency. Any contributions by Lessee in excess of such actual expenses shall be credited to any amounts owed by Lessee under this Lease, or refunded to Lessee, at Lessor’s election.

 

7.

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed or levied upon Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises or upon Lessee’s trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and all other personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.


5

 

8.

UTILITIES.

All utilities shall be separately metered for the Premises, and Lessee shall pay when billed and before delinquent all charges for gas (if available), electricity, air conditioning, heating, telephone, janitorial services and other utilities or services furnished to the Premises or to Lessee during the term of this Lease Agreement. Lessee shall keep the Premises free of any liens created by Lessee’s failure to make such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, utility charges for water and electricity shall be billed to Lessee as part of “Common Area Expenses” under Section 6.1 hereof for which Lessee shall be assessed its prorata share. In the event that Lessee’s useage of water and electricity for any twelve (12) month period increases by more than twenty-five percent (25%) over its useage for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period, then at Lessor’s request, Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, shall have the Premises separately metered for such utilities.

 

9.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

9.1         Except as otherwise provided in this Lease Agreement, in the event that the Premises or the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty fully covered by Lessor’s insurance, such damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of Lessor. Until such repairs are completed, and except to the extent such damage is caused by Lessee or its agent or employees, the rent payable hereunder shall be abated in proportion to the portion of the Premises which is rendered unusable by Lessee in the conduct of its business. In no event shall Lessor be obligated to spend more than the net insurance proceeds received by Lessor on account of any casualty in order to repair or restore the Premises.

9.2         In the event such repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, be substantially completed within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such damage (without the payment of overtime or other premiums), Lessor may, at its option, exercisable by giving reasonable notice to Lessee, make such repairs with due diligence. In such event, this Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the rent payable by Lessee hereunder shall be reduced as above set forth until such repairs are completed.

9.3         In the event Lessor determines in its reasonable opinion that such repairs cannot be substantially completed within such sixty (60) day period and does not elect to make such repairs during a reasonable time in excess of such 60-day period, then either Lessor or Lessee may, by written notice given to the other within ten (10) additional days, terminate this Lease Agreement effective as of the date of the occurrence of such damage.

9.4         With respect to any damage which Lessor is obligated to repair or elects to repair, Lessee waives the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 33-343 (which section deals with Lessee’s rights to termination in the event of damage or destruction of the Premises).

9.5         Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to make any repairs to or replacements of any paneling, decoration, office fixtures, railing, ceiling or floor covering, partitions or any other property installed in the Premises by Lessee.

9.6         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in the event of damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Premises or the Project to the extent of five percent (5%) or more of the then insurable replacement value of the Project, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement by written notice to Lessee, given within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage, destruction or declaration. Upon the giving of any such notice, this Lease Agreement shall terminate.

9.7         In the event that the damage or cost of repair is less than five percent (5%) of the replacement value, or in the event Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease Agreement, the Lease


6

 

Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Premises shall be repaired and rebuilt in accordance with the other provisions of this Lease Agreement.

 

10.

LIABILITY INSURANCE.

10.1         During the term of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall at Lessee’s expense, maintain general public liability insurance against claims for injury, wrongful death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises with companies and in form acceptable to Lessor, with minimum limits of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) on account of bodily injuries to or death of one person, Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) on account of bodily injuries to or death of more than one person as the result of any one accident or disaster, and property damage insurance with minimum limits of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Lessee shall add the name of Lessor to the policies and agrees to insure the interest of Lessor so long as this Lease Agreement is in effect. Lessee shall file proof of insurance with Lessor prior to Lessee’s possession of the Premises. Lessee hereby releases and waives any and all rights of subrogation against Lessor, and Lessee shall ensure that such policy or policies of insurance shall contain a waiver of subrogation clause as to Lessor.

10.2         During the entire term of this Lease, Lessor shall, at the expense of Lessee as set forth below, procure and maintain the following policies of insurance:

  (a)          Commercial general liability insurance for personal injury, death and property damage occurring on the Common Areas, the limits of liability thereof to be in such amounts as Lessor may reasonably require under the circumstances existing from time to time; and

  (b)          “Special Form” property coverage insurance against loss due to fire, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and special extended perils in an amount adequate to cover the full cost of replacement of the Premises. Said insurance shall provide for payment of loss thereunder to Lessor or to the holders of mortgages or deeds of trust on the Premises.

Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, the cost of the insurance to be carried by Lessor pursuant hereto; provided, however, if the cost applicable to the Premises cannot otherwise be separately identified, the amount(s) payable by Lessee hereunder shall be determined based upon the ratio of the gross floor area of the Premises to the gross floor area of the building and/or complex of buildings comprising the Project, in a manner consistent with paragraph 6.1(d) hereof. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor such amount(s) within ten (10) days after written demand is sent by Lessor to Lessee accompanied by the insurance premium notice(s) and evidence of the amount due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have the option to include the cost of the insurance on the Common Areas set forth in subparagraph (a) hereof as part of the Common Area Expenses pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof, instead of billing Lessee separately for such cost.

 

11.

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1         Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessor arising from any breach or default by Lessee, from any use, non-use or condition of the Premises created by or attributable to Lessee or Lessee’s employees, customers, agents, invitees, licensees, guests or lessees, and from any negligence, act or omission attributable to Lessee or Lessee’s employees, customers, agents, invitees, licensees, guests or lessees. In the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought against Lessor by reason of any claim referred to in this paragraph 11.1, Lessee, upon written notice from Lessor, shall at Lessee’s sole cost and expense resist or defend the same through counsel selected by Lessor. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage to or theft of any personal property, goods, commodities


7

 

or materials in or about the Premises. Lessee agrees that Lessor and Lessor’s agents, employees and servants shall not be liable, and Lessee waives all claims for damage to property and business sustained during the term of this Lease Agreement by Lessee occurring in or about the Project, resulting directly or indirectly from any existing or future condition, defect, matter or thing in the Premises, the Project or any part thereof, or from equipment or appurtenances becoming out of repair or from accident, or from any occurrence, act or omission of Lessor, Lessor’s agents, employees or servants, any tenant or occupant of the Project or any other person.

11.2         The term “Lessor” as used in this Lease Agreement so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Lessor are concerned shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners of the Project at the time in question, and in event of any transfer or conveyance the then grantor shall be automatically freed and released from all personal liability accruing from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance as respects the performance of any covenant or obligation on the part of Lessor contained in this Lease Agreement to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease Agreement on the part of Lessor shall be binding on the then Lessor only during and in respect to its period of ownership. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Lessor of the Project, the same shall operate to release Lessor from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions herein contained and in such event Lessee agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Lessor in and to this Lease Agreement. This Lease Agreement shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance, and Lessee agrees to attorn to the purchaser or grantee, which purchaser or grantee shall be personally obligated on this Lease Agreement only so long as it is the owner of Lessor’s interest in and to this Lease Agreement. Furthermore, Lessee agrees to look solely to Lessor’s interest in the Project for the recovery of any judgment from Lessor, it being agreed that Lessor and each of its general partners shall never be personally liable for any such judgment.

 

12.

EMINENT DOMAIN.

If the entire Premises shall be taken, or if a substantial portion thereof shall be taken, which Lessor reasonably determines will prevent Lessee from conducting its business under this Lease Agreement, by proper authority for public or quasi-public use, Lessee may terminate this Lease Agreement by giving Lessor written notice of such termination within two (2) months after such taking and the rent shall abate during the unexpired portion of this Lease Agreement, effective from the date when possession of the part so taken shall be required for the use and purpose for which it has been taken. If only a part of the Premises is so taken and the part not so taken shall be sufficient, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, for the reasonable use of the remainder for the purpose of Lessee’s business under this Lease Agreement, this Lease Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except that the rent shall be reduced in proportion of Project square footage to which the Premises so taken bears to the Premises originally leased. All compensation awarded for any such taking shall belong to and be the property of Lessor.

 

13.

REPAIRS AND LESSOR’S INITIAL IMPROVEMENTS.

13.1         Lessor shall make all necessary repairs to the exterior walls, roof, structural components, plumbing, electrical wiring and air conditioning system of the Project of which the Premises are a part except exterior glass, windows and doors. Lessor also shall maintain and keep in good repair the exterior lighting, parking areas, docks and sidewalks appurtenant to the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any damage caused or permitted by Lessee, or by Lessee’s employees, agents or invitees, to the Premises or to the Project shall be repaired by Lessee, or at Lessor’s election, Lessor may repair such damage at the expense of Lessee and Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor for such expense upon Lessor’s demand.


8

 

13.2         Lessee, at Lessee’s expense, shall maintain and keep the Premises in as good order, condition and repair, including doors, windows and interior glass, as they were at the time Lessee took possession of the same, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall keep the Premises in a neat and sanitary condition. All repairs, restorations and replacements shall be in quality and class equal to the original work.

13.3         Lessee agrees to notify Lessor promptly of any defective condition known to Lessee which Lessor is required to repair, and the failure to report such defects shall make Lessee responsible to Lessor for any additional liability, cost or expense incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee’s failure to notify Lessor of such defect. Lessor shall be under no duty to inspect the Premises.

13.4         At its sole cost and expense, Lessor shall undertake the improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises pursuant to the “Lessor’s Work” attached as Exhibit “B” hereto which shall govern with respect to the work to be completed by the Lessor.

 

14.

LESSEE’S INITIAL IMPROVEMENTS.

At its sole cost and expense, Lessee shall undertake the improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises pursuant to the “Lessee’s Work” attached as Exhibit “C” hereto which shall govern with regard to work to be completed by the Lessee. Except as set forth in paragraph 13.4 hereof, Lessor has no obligation and has made no promise to alter, remodel, decorate, paint or otherwise improve the Premises or any part thereof.

 

15.

LESSEE’S ALTERATIONS.

In addition to the initial improvements provided for in paragraph 14 hereof, Lessee, at Lessee’s expense, may make such additional alterations and improvements to the interior of the Premises as may be necessary or desirable for the conduct of the business of Lessee; provided, however, that Lessee shall make no alterations or improvements which may impair the structural strength of the Project, which may affect the roof or the electrical, mechanical, plumbing or HVAC systems of the Project, or which may conflict with any existing provisions of any mortgages on or against the Premises; and, provided further, that Lessee shall first obtain Lessor’s written consent for such alterations and improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor may require, as a condition to consenting to such alterations and improvements, that the work be done by Lessor’s own employees or under Lessor’s direction, but at the expense of Lessee, and Lessor also may require that Lessee give security (such as payment and performance bonds) that the work will be completed expeditiously, subject to any delays beyond the control of Lessee, and in compliance with all laws and ordinances and all rules and regulations of any and all governmental authorities having jurisdiction of or over the Premises. All such alterations and improvements shall be and remain the property of the Lessor and shall not be removed by Lessee at the termination of the term of this Lease Agreement, unless Lessor so directs in writing. Lessee, at the expense of Lessee, shall repair all damage to the Premises which shall have been occasioned by the installation or removal of improvements or alterations. Lessor shall not be responsible or liable for any loss of, or damage to, Lessee’s improvements or alterations.

 

16.

LIENS.

If the Premises, or any part thereof, or Lessee’s leasehold interest therein, shall at any time during the term of the Lease Agreement become subject to the lien of any vendor, mechanic, laborer or materialman based upon the furnishing of materials or labor to Lessee or the Premises and contracted for by Lessee, Lessee shall cause the same, at Lessee’s expense, to be discharged within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof.


9

 

17.

NUISANCE.

17.1         Notwithstanding anything in this Lease Agreement to the contrary, including without limitation the use by Lessee of the Premises in accordance with paragraph 5 hereunder, Lessee shall not commit or permit any nuisance or other act, whether noise, odor, smoke, sewerage, chemical waste or otherwise, which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenants of Lessor in the Project.

17.2         Lessee shall not obstruct or cause to be obstructed any public or private roadways, sidewalks or common areas appurtenant to the Project, or any parking areas or docking areas of other tenants of Lessor in the Project. In the event Lessee commits or permits any nuisance or act set forth in this paragraph, the same shall be a material breach of this Lease Agreement.

 

18.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

18.1         Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease Agreement, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof or suffer any other person (other than the employees and agents of Lessee) to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof, without obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease Agreement.

18.2         Regardless of Lessor’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Lessee from Lessee’s obligations 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 a waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting 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. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability under this Lease.

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

 

19.

SURRENDER OF PREMISES AND HOLDING OVER.

19.1         Except as provided hereinafter, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall quit and surrender the Premises, “broom-clean,” in good condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted). If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the Lease term, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant based on such delay.

19.2         If Lessee or any successor in interest of Lessee, should remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Lease term without executing a new lease, then such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from month to month, subject to all the covenants, terms, provisions and obligations of this Lease except Minimum Monthly Rent, which shall be subject to an automatic increase


10

 

of twenty-five percent (25%), over and above the amount paid in the last full calendar month of the Lease term. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as Lessor’s permission for Lessee to hold over.

 

20.

DEFAULT.

20.1         If Lessee fails to pay any rents when due within five (5) days of the due date, or if Lessee commits a breach under paragraph 17 hereof, or if Lessee defaults in the performance of any other term or covenant of this Lease Agreement, and any such default is not cured within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee, then, in any such event Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, terminate this Lease Agreement and/or re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and all or any property therefrom either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any other suitable action or proceeding at law or by force or otherwise, without being guilty of trespass or liable to indictment, prosecution or damage therefor, and repossess and enjoy the Premises, together with all improvements, additions, alterations, installations and fixtures, without such re-entry and repossession working a forfeiture or waiver of the rents to be paid and the covenants to be performed by Lessee during the full term of this Lease Agreement, and upon such termination or re-entry, Lessee will quit and surrender the Premises to Lessor, but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Upon termination of this Lease Agreement or expiration of Lessee’s right to occupy the Premises by reason of the happening of any of the foregoing events, or in any other manner or circumstances whatsoever, whether with or without legal proceedings, by reason of or based upon or arising out of a default or breach of this Lease Agreement on the part of Lessee, or upon the happening of any default hereunder, Lessor may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, for the account of Lessee or otherwise, and receive and collect the rent therefor, applying the same first to the payment of such expenses as Lessor may have incurred in recovering possession of the Premises, including attorneys’ fees and expenses for putting the same into good order and condition or preparing or altering the same for re-rental to the extent Lessor deems necessary or desirable and all other expenses, commissions and charges paid, assumed or incurred by Lessor in or about re-letting the Premises and then to the fulfillment of the covenants of Lessee hereunder. Any such re-letting herein provided for may be for the remainder of the term of this Lease Agreement, as originally granted, or for a longer or shorter period. Lessor shall have the right to change the character and use made of the Premises, and Lessor shall not be required to accept any substitute tenant offered by Lessee or to observe any instructions given by Lessee up to the later of the time of such termination of this Lease Agreement or of such recovery of possession of the Premises by Lessor, as the case may be, and thereafter, except in a case in which liability of Lessee as hereinafter provided arises by reason of the happening of the insolvency of Lessee, Lessee covenants and agrees, if required by Lessor, to pay to Lessor until the end of the initial term of this Lease Agreement, and/or any renewal term, as the case may be, the equivalent of the amount of all rent reserved hereunder, and all other charges required to be paid by Lessee, less the net proceeds of re-letting, if any. Lessor shall have the election in place of and instead of holding Lessee so liable forthwith to recover against Lessee as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease Agreement or of such recovery of possession of the Premises by Lessor, as the case may be, represents the then present worth of the excess, if any, of the aggregate of the rent and all other charges payable by Lessee hereunder that would have accrued for the balance of the initial term, and/or any renewal term, as the case may be, over the then present worth of the fair market rents and all other charges for the Premises for the balance of such term. In addition, upon any default hereunder, Lessor shall have the right to exercise in connection therewith or separately any other rights or remedies provided by law.

20.2         The rights and remedies of Lessor shall include, but are not limited to, enforcement of any rights and privileges hereunder by mandatory injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief. In the event of re-entry by Lessor as hereinabove provided, Lessor shall not be or become responsible for or incur any liability to Lessee or other persons for any personal property, goods, commodities or materials in or about the Premises at the time of re-entry, the Lessor may store or dispose of such personal property,


11

 

goods, commodities or materials at the expense of Lessee with payment therefore to be made by Lessee upon demand of Lessor.

 

21.

INSOLVENCY.

In addition to any other rights or remedies of Lessor hereunder, if Lessee, at any time during the term of this Lease Agreement, shall be or become insolvent, or if Lessee shall compound Lessee’s debts or sign over Lessee’s estate or effects for payment thereof, or if any sheriff, marshal, constable or any other officer take possession of the Premises by virtue of any execution or attachment, or if any receiver or trust is appointed of any property of Lessee, or in the event Lessee shall be adjudged bankrupt, then and in any such event it shall be lawful for Lessor at Lessor’s election to enter into and upon the Premises, or any part thereof, and to have, hold and possess and enjoy the same as in the Lessor’s former estate, discharged from these presents, and this Lease Agreement shall thereupon be terminated, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

22.

LEGAL EXPENSES.

In the event of any suit instituted by either Lessor or Lessee against the other in any way connected with this Lease Agreement, or for the recovery of rent or possession of the Premises, the successful party to any such action shall recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees and Court costs in connection with said suit.

 

23.

LESSOR’S RIGHT.

In the event that Lessee does not pay before delinquent any taxes, assessments or other charges to be paid hereunder by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to make such payment and to thereupon charge Lessee for the amount of such payment, together with interest thereon from the date of such payment to the date of repayment by Lessee to Lessor at the rate of eighteen percent (18%), per annum.

 

24.

SUBORDINATION.

24.1         This Lease Agreement and the estate granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages which now or hereafter may constitute a lien on the Premises, and to any agreements at any time made, modifying, supplementing, extending or renewing any such mortgages; provided, however, that Lessor shall attempt to obtain from the mortgagee under any such mortgage an agreement in substance that, so long as Lessee shall not be in default in the terms of this Lease Agreement, this Lease Agreement and the estate hereby granted shall not be terminated. The provisions for the subordination of this Lease Agreement and the estate hereby granted shall be self-operative and no further instruments shall be required to effect such subordination; provided, that the parties hereto shall, upon request by any mortgagee at any time or times, execute and deliver any and all instruments that may be reasonably necessary or proper to effect such subordination or to confirm or evidence the same.

24.2         Lessee shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing: (a) certifying that this Lease Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease Agreement as so modified in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (b) acknowledging that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of the Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by a prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Lessee’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be deemed Lessee’s acknowledgment that: (i) This Lease Agreement is in full force and effect, without modification except as


12

 

may be represented by Lessor; (ii) There are no uncured defaults in Lessor’s performance; and (iii) Not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance. If Lessor desires to sell, finance or refinance the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any purchaser or lender designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes therein set forth.

 

25.

SIGNS.

No signs, advertisements or notices shall be placed by Lessee visible from the outside of the Project, whether walls, roofs, windows, sidewalks, doors or otherwise, except such as shall first be approved in writing by Lessor, which approval may be given or withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion. If such approval by Lessor is given, such signs, advertisements or notices shall be installed and maintained at Lessee’s expense and shall conform to all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.

GUARANTY

This Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) is made by DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“Guarantor”) for the benefit of CAM Investment 352 LLC (“Lessor”). This Guaranty is made with reference to the following:

A.          Lessor and DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Lessee”) are parties to that certain Commercial Lease (Triple Net) dated July 1, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated on or about the date hereof (the “First Amendment”, and collectively, the “Lease”) with respect to certain premises more particularly described in the Lease (the “Premises”).

B.          This Guaranty is being made as a material inducement to Lessor to enter into the First Amendment and Lessor would not enter into the First Amendment without the execution of this Guaranty by Guarantor.

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for good, adequate and valuable consideration, the receipt of which Guarantor acknowledges, and to induce Lessor to enter into the Lease, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.           Definitions. Any terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings in this Guaranty, except to the extent that this Guaranty defines such terms differently.

1.1         “Lessee” means: (a) Lessee as defined above, acting on its own behalf; (b) any estate created by the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding affecting Lessee; (c) any trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or receiver of Lessee or Lessee’s property; (d) any similar person or officer, appointed pursuant to any law governing any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise; and (e) any direct or indirect assignee of Lessee’s estate under the Lease.

1.2         “Obligations” means all obligations of Lessee under the Lease (as defined in Section 1.3, below), including, without limitation: (a) the obligation to pay fixed rent; (b) the obligation to make all payments required under the Lease on account of taxes, operating expenses, indemnifications made by Lessee under the Lease, and all other matters; and (c) all other payment and performance required of Lessee under the Lease. The Obligations shall be determined without regard to any modification or reduction of the Obligations that may occur pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding affecting Lessee. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Obligations shall be determined, measured and calculated without taking into account any reduction or limitation thereof that may occur under Section 502(b)(6) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any similar or successor statute. Guarantor’s liability for the Obligations shall be determined as if no such reduction or limitation had occurred. Therefore, Guarantor’s liability may exceed Lessee’s.

1.3         “Lease” means: (a) the Lease and any renewal, modification, option, extension or assignment of the Lease (whether or not separately consented to, acknowledged or confirmed by Guarantor); and (b) Lessee’s obligations relating to the Premises during any period when Lessee is occupying the Premises or any portion thereof either (i) as a “holdover Lessee” or (ii) as a “statutory Lessee” or under any other rent regulation, rent control, rent stabilization, mandatory arbitration or other statutory scheme regulating the Lessor-Lessee relationship (the parties recognizing, however, that none of the schemes referred to in this clause “ii” would presently apply to the Lease). If Lessor has terminated the Lease, then at Lessor’s option, notwithstanding such termination (and in the event of any subsequent reinstatement of the Lease), all Obligations under this Guaranty shall be calculated and determined as if the Lease were still in effect. Any request by Lessor that Lessee vacate the Premises and surrender the Lease shall not affect the definition of “Lease” for all purposes of this Guaranty.

2.           Guaranty of Obligations. Guarantor, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the complete and timely performance of each of the Obligations. This Guaranty is an absolute, primary,

 

1


and continuing, guaranty of payment and performance and is independent of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease. Guarantor shall be primarily liable, jointly and severally, with Lessee and any other guarantor of the Obligations. Guarantor waives any right to require Lessor to (a) join Lessee with Guarantor in any suit arising under this Guaranty, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security given to secure Lessee’s obligations under the Lease, or (c) pursue or exhaust any other remedy in Lessor’s power. Until all of the Obligations have been discharged in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation against Lessee. Lessor may, without notice or demand and without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time, compromise, extend or otherwise modify any or all of the terms of the Lease, or fail to perfect, or fail to continue the perfection of, any security interests granted under the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Lessee elects to increase the size of the Premises, extend the term of the Lease, or otherwise expand the Obligations, Lessee’s execution of such lease documentation shall constitute Guarantor’s consent thereto (and such increased Obligations shall constitute guaranteed Obligations hereunder); Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights to consent thereto. Guarantor waives any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lessor. Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and waives all notices of existence, creation or incurring of new or additional obligations from Lessee to Lessor. Guarantor further waives all defenses afforded guarantors or based on suretyship or impairment of collateral under applicable law, other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be affected by (1) the release or discharge of Lessee from, or impairment, limitation or modification of, Lessee’s obligations under the Lease in any bankruptcy, receivership, or other debtor relief proceeding, whether state or federal and whether voluntary or involuntary; (2) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceeding; or (3) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Lessee under the Lease. The obligations of Lessee under the Lease to execute and deliver estoppel statements, as therein provided, shall be deemed to also require the Guarantor hereunder to do so and provide the same relative to Guarantor following written request by Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Lease. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Lessor’s successors and assigns.

3.           Waiver of Jury Trial. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY ACTIONS OF LESSOR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY.

4.           Lessor’s Costs. Guarantor shall pay to Lessor all costs incurred by Lessor in enforcing this Guaranty (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

5.           Notices. All notices and other communications given pursuant to, or in connection with, this Guaranty shall be delivered in the same manner required in the Lease. All notices or other communications addressed to Guarantor shall be delivered at the address set forth below.

6.           Lessee’s Financial Condition. Guarantor represents that Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition of Lessee. Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor’s own independent investigation and based in no part upon any representation or statement by Lessor. Guarantor is not relying upon, nor expecting, Lessor to furnish Guarantor with any information concerning the financial condition of Lessee.

7.           No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Guaranty is executed and delivered for the benefit of Lessor and its successors and assigns, and is not intended to benefit any third party.
