If, with the consent of Landlord, the Premises or any part thereof shall be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the subtenant or other occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. If, without the consent of Landlord, the Premises or any part thereof shall be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the subtenant or other occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, provided, however, that no such collection shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the requirement to obtain its consent to such sublease or other occupancy nor an acceptance by Landlord of such sublease or other occupancy. In neither of the foregoing circumstances shall Tenant be relieved from its obligations under the Lease or from further performance by Tenant of any covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained.

(f)    Rights of Landlord Upon Assignment. If this Lease or any interest herein is validly assigned under this Section 10 to another party, such assignment shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations under the Lease or from further performance by Tenant of any covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained, and Tenant shall at all times remain directly and primarily responsible therefor.

Landlord and Tenant agree to comply with the following provisions regarding the use of the Premises.

(a)    Compliance with Law.

(i)     Generally. Unless expressly allowed herein with respect to Tenant’s specific permitted Medical Marihuana Uses (and the current non-compliance of same under federal law), Tenant shall comply in all material respects with the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease and any mortgage on the Premises of which Tenant has actual knowledge

 

14


and any applicable state or local law, ordinance or governmental regulation (including, without limitation, all environmental laws, rules, regulations or orders relating to the Premises). Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any use of the Premises or any part thereof that would reasonably be likely to be dangerous to life, limb, or property without the appropriate safety practices reasonably approved by Landlord, or which would reasonably be likely to invalidate or increase the premium of any policy of insurance carried on the Building, the Premises or covering its operation, unless Tenant is willing to pay the cost of any such increased premium or provide alternative, comparable insurance coverage reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Notwithstanding any term or provision to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be required to comply with any federal law which is applicable to and prohibits Tenant’s Medical Marihuana Uses in the Premises and Tenant’s non-compliance with federal law with respect to such Medical Marijuana Uses shall not be considered a breach or default of this Lease. Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used in any manner, nor shall it permit anything to be brought into or kept therein which, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, would in any way impair the character, reputation or appearance of the Premises as a high quality facility or which would materially impair or interfere with any of the services performed by Landlord for the Premises. Tenant agrees to change, reduce or stop any such use or install at its expense necessary equipment, safety devices, pollution control systems or other installations at any time during this Lease to comply with the foregoing upon the written request of Landlord. Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to Landlord, to contest the application of any such legal or other requirement to Tenant or its operations at the Premises, provided that Tenant shall pursue such contest with due diligence and also provided that Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any costs, penalties, losses, liabilities or other damages incurred or suffered by Landlord arising from Tenant’s violation or alleged violation of any of the requirements of this subsection 11(a).

(ii)    Health, Safety and Environmental Issues. Tenant agrees to comply with all health, safety and environmental rules and regulations of Landlord of which written notice has been provided to Tenant and of any governmental entities and/or regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Premises.

Such representative shall also serve as the contact person for any governmental entity (including any regulatory agencies) which has need to identify a contact person for such health, safety and environmental issues. Tenant shall maintain reasonably detailed records (and, subject to confidentiality and privilege considerations, make same available to Landlord upon reasonable request for same) relating to inventories of chemicals used and/or stored on or about the Premises and tracking records pertaining thereto. In no event shall the foregoing constitute Landlord’s consent to the use and/or storage of any such chemicals and Tenant is expressly prohibited from using the Premises for any purposes (including storage) which involve any processes and/or materials (including, but not limited to, any chemicals) if such are deemed by Landlord to cause additional liability to Landlord, except as otherwise provided in Section 3(a) hereof.

(iii)    Certification of Compliance. At the request of the Landlord, which shall in no event occur more than once in any calendar year, an officer of Tenant (in the case of a corporation) or such other person authorized to bind Tenant (in the case of another form of legal entity) shall certify in writing to Landlord that Tenant’s operations, activities and occupancy of the Premises are in full compliance with all applicable federal (excepting only federal laws applicable to Medical Marihuana Uses), state and local laws, orders, regulations and ordinances. Any exceptions, deviations or non-compliance shall be identified in such certificate, together with a detailed description of Tenant’s plan for remedying such non-compliance.

 

15


(b)    Rules. Tenant shall comply and shall cause all of its agents, contractors, employees, visitors and any others using the Premises to comply with the “Site Requirements” attached hereto as EXHIBIT E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant’s allowed Medical Marihuana Uses shall not be deemed to violate the provisions of Section 6.5 of the Site Requirements. Landlord hereby advises Tenant that the “Kodak Representative” (as defined in the Site Requirements) is Robin Chontosh (585-477-4896), subject to change by Landlord upon written notice to Tenant. In the event any future rule or other requirement is approved which either prohibits Tenant’s Medical Marihuana Uses or substantially prevents Tenant’s compliance with state law, rule, regulation, or otherwise, Tenant may terminate this Lease without penalty and recover the full amount of the Security Deposit (assuming that Tenant fully and completely complies with all provisions of this Lease through the date of such termination and fully surrenders the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof).

(c)    Signs. Tenant shall have the right, at its sole expense, to install signs in and on the building, however, Tenant shall not display, inscribe, print, paint, maintain or affix on any place on the exterior of the Building nor on the land on or adjacent to which the Building is located, any sign, notice, legend, direction, figure, or advertisement display materials after first obtaining the written approval of Landlord, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. Signs located inside the Building shall be permitted to identify the location of the Premises. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall provide, at Landlord’s cost and expense, a listing of Tenant’s business name on the Building directory, if any. All such signs must comply fully with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of any governmental authority.

(d)    Alterations.

(i)     Prohibitions and Limitations on Same. Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements, or additions of or to the Premises (collectively, “Alteration”) without Landlord’s advance written consent in each and every instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, Tenant shall not require Landlord’s consent to make de minimus alterations, such as painting or installing carpeting, or to make any other alterations not affecting any Building system or the structure of the Building that, on an individual project basis, do not cost in excess of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall require Landlord’s consent for any Alteration proposed by Tenant that calls for any modification to the foundation, structural or mechanical components (including the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, sprinkler and fire alarms systems including the fire walls and fire doors), and Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such Alterations. Notwithstanding any other statement to the contrary in this Lease, with Landlord’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall have the right to make any Alterations required to comply with the requirements of title 5-A of article 33 of the Public Health Law of the State of New York or any other statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, or guidance, provided that any such Alterations do not impact modify or change the structural elements of the Building (including the foundation) or any mechanical systems serving the Building. Any Alteration in or to the fire protection systems, fire alarms, sprinkler systems and/or fire walls and fire doors shall expressly require the prior written consent and approval of any insurance company of Landlord (and may be given or withheld for any reason or no reason) and must be in full compliance with all rules and regulations of such company. The parties

 

16


hereto agree that Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to a proposed Alteration requiring Landlord consent if such Alteration is not consistent, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, with Landlord’s internal aesthetic, engineering, insurance and construction standards and the standards of Landlord’s property insurance company for the Building or other buildings owned by Landlord (if any) adjacent to the Building. In the event Tenant desires to make any Alteration that requires Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant shall first submit to Landlord plans and specifications therefor for Landlord’s review as part of Landlord’s determination of whether to approve the Alteration pursuant to this subparagraph 11 (d)(i). In addition, any contractor(s) which Tenant intends to engage in the making of any Alteration shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any contractor, agent and/or subcontractor hired by Tenant must maintain insurance at the levels, of the types, with the companies and subject to conditions reasonably required by Landlord, which insurance requirements shall be delivered in writing by Landlord to Tenant at the time of delivery of Landlord’s consent, if such consent is delivered. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from each and every claim for liability for injuries to persons or damage to or loss of property occurring at the Premises due to negligent acts or omissions by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors or agents.

(ii)     Additional Requirements. Each Alteration must comply fully with all laws and be performed in a good and workmanlike manner. Landlord must be advised of any requests for permits or governmental applications made or filed by Tenant prior to such filings. Upon Tenant’s request, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Landlord shall cooperate in connection with the securing of any such permits or the filing of any such governmental applications. Each and every Alteration, whether temporary or permanent in character, made by Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Premises shall become Landlord’s property (with the exception only of Tenant’s movable office furniture, trade fixtures, office and professional, manufacturing and process equipment) and shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without compensation to Tenant unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing, at the time of Landlord’s consent to the Alteration, that such Alteration must be removed upon the expiration or termination of the Lease. Tenant shall remove such Alteration as herein required upon such expiration or earlier termination, repair any damage caused by such removal and restore the Premises to the condition specified in Section 35 of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, Landlord and Tenant intend and agree that during the Lease Term any Alteration shall be treated as the property of Tenant for accounting and income tax purposes such that Tenant shall be entitled to deductions, if any, for depreciation or amortization of such Alterations, excluding, however, any Alteration funded by Landlord which shall be owned by and treated as the property of Landlord.

(e)    Security. Tenant (subject to compliance with Section 11(d)) shall have the right to install a separate security system to accommodate Tenant’s use of the Premises in strict compliance with any federal (unless such federal law conflicts with Tenant’s Medical Marihuana Uses), state or local statute, law, regulation, ordinance, rule, order or guidance. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in accomplishing such installation, provided however, that Landlord shall not be required to accommodate such improvements or systems if they would materially interfere with such Landlord’s conducting business at the Building or the Premises and further provided that Tenant shall be responsible for the entire cost of the design, installation and operation thereof.

(f)    Energy Conservation. Tenant shall comply with any applicable federal laws, rules, ordinances or administrative enactments on energy conservation, and shall cooperate with reasonable energy conservation programs voluntarily implemented by Landlord in the Building notice of which shall be provided to Tenant, to the extent that such programs do not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s conduct of its business.

12.

REPAIRS

Tenant shall maintain the Premises in good condition (ordinary wear and tear and loss or damage due to a casualty not required to be restored by Tenant excepted) and shall, subject to the terms of Section 12 herein, repair any damage to the Premises occurring on or after the date hereof, other than any repairs which are the responsibility of Landlord hereunder, as expressly provided herein. Tenant shall be responsible for prompt maintenance and repair of all leasehold improvements within the Premises and Tenant’s furniture and fixtures located within or about the Premises.

13.

DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES

If the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and such damage prevents Tenant from using the Premises in substantially the same manner as it was used prior to such casualty or damage, and such damage is not repaired by Landlord within ninety (90) days after the date of such fire or casualty (or, in the case of damage the repair of which reasonably requires more than ninety (90) days, if Landlord has not commenced such repair or is not proceeding with reasonable diligence under the circumstances to complete such required repairs) or if such damage cannot reasonably be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such fire or casualty, Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other delivered not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the occurrence of the damage. If Landlord elects not to seek to repair such damage, but does not simultaneously elect to terminate the Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant of its election not to repair within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or casualty, and Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease shall begin upon receipt of such notice from Landlord. In the event of any such termination, with respect to any portion of the Premises which was not damaged, Tenant shall be required to comply with all of the other requirements of this Lease relating to the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Lease, including without limitation the requirements of Section 35 relating to surrender of the Premises. From the date of the casualty until the effective date of such termination, the Rent shall be abated by

 

18


multiplying the Rent then due by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of the Premises which is not usable and in fact is not used by Tenant and the denominator of which shall be the total number of square feet of the Premises. In the event, however, that such damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant, Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees, there shall be no apportionment or abatement of Rent.

If the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and neither Tenant nor Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, as provided above, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly repair or reconstruct the damage to the Building and Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall promptly repair or reconstruct any damage to Tenant’s leasehold improvements, alterations or modifications to the Premises made after the Commencement Date. Until such time that the damage is substantially repaired, the Rent shall be abated by multiplying the Rent then due by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of the Premises which is not usable and in fact is not used by Tenant and the denominator of which shall be the total number of square feet of the Premises. In the event, however, that such damage is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant, Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees, there shall be no apportionment or abatement of Rent.

 

14.

CONDEMNATION

If the Premises or any part thereof shall be taken by any public or private authority through condemnation or eminent domain, Landlord shall immediately notify Tenant in writing. The entire amount of any condemnation award related to the value of the Premises shall be the property of and payable to Landlord. Nothing herein shall preclude Tenant from pursuing any claims it may have against the condemning authority based upon the value of its personal property taken or other costs incurred by Tenant (such as relocation costs) associated with such taking of the Premises.

If such taking reduces the square feet of the Premises by a material amount (whether by a single taking or a series of takings), Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease at any time by written notice to the other to be given within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the taking. As used herein, the term “material amount” means that the portion taken shall, in the reasonable opinion of either Landlord or Tenant, be so significant that the remaining portion of the Premises cannot be used in substantially the same manner by Tenant as was used prior to such taking. In the event of such termination by Tenant, with respect to any portion of the Premises which was not taken as part of the condemnation, Tenant shall be required to comply with all of the other requirements of this Lease relating to the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Lease, including without limitation the requirements of Section 35 relating to surrender of the Premises.

If Tenant defaults in the payment of Rent and such default continues for five (5) days after written notice, or, except as otherwise provided in this Section 16 hereof, defaults in the prompt and full performance of any other provision of this Lease and such default continues for thirty (30) days after written notice, or if such default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant does not commence to cure such default within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue the same to completion thereafter, or if the leasehold interest of Tenant be levied upon under execution or be attached by process of law and such levy or attachment is not removed or bonded within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if Tenant ceases to pay Rent hereunder for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, then and in any such event Landlord may, at its election, either terminate the Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, or without terminating this Lease, endeavor to relet the Premises. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to relieve Tenant of any obligation, including the payment of Rent, as provided in this Lease, provided that if Landlord relets all or any portion of the Premises, all rent and additional rent collected by Landlord pursuant to such reletting shall be applied against any ongoing obligation of Tenant hereunder for the payment of Rent.

(c)    Surrender of Possession; Landlord’s Right to Re-Enter. Upon any valid termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, all in the manner that the Premises is to be surrendered as provided in Section 35 hereof, and hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises to repossess Tenant of the Premises as of Landlord’s former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the Premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, using such force as may be reasonably necessary, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer, and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to Rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s re-entry into the Premises, Landlord’s removal of Tenant’s property therefrom, and Landlord’s performance of any obligations of Tenant under Section 35 hereof in connection with such re-entry, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder.

(e)    Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant agrees that if it shall at any time fail to make any material payment to a third party other than Landlord or its designee or fail materially to perform any other act on its part to be made or performed under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, and after reasonable written notice or demand and without waiving, or releasing Tenant from, any obligation under this Lease, make such payment or perform such other act to the extent Landlord may deem desirable, and in connection therewith, Landlord may pay expenses and employ counsel. If legal action is required to enforce performance by Tenant of any condition, obligation or requirement hereunder, the costs of such action including reasonable attorneys’ fees will be paid solely by the party not prevailing in such action. All sums so paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith (provided that Landlord is the prevailing party in any such legal action), together with interest thereon at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of payment, shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and payable at the time of any installment of Rent thereafter becoming due and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for the non-payment thereof, or of any other Additional Rent, as in the case of default in the payment of Rent.

(f)    Tenant’s Personal Property. Any and all property to which Tenant is or may be entitled which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of applicable law upon termination of the Lease or upon default by Tenant after any applicable notice and cure period, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property. Any such property of Tenant not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, however terminated, shall be conclusively deemed to have been forever abandoned by Tenant and either may be retained by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit.

 

17.

LATE CHARGE

In the event Tenant fails on two separate occasions in any one calendar year during the Term to pay any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent on the day when due and payable, then during the balance of the Term and with respect to any subsequent installment of Rent not received by Landlord by the fifth (5th) business day after the due date, a late charge will be due and owing in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the then unpaid monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent. Such late charge shall be billed by Landlord to Tenant with the Rent for the calendar month next following and shall be paid by Tenant together with the Rent due for such month.

This Section 18 is self-operative and no further instrument of subordination is required.

EXHIBIT F

COMMERCIAL LEASE GUARANTY

In consideration of and in order to induce EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY (“Landlord”) to enter into a lease agreement with COLUMBIA CARE NY LLC (“Tenant”) having an effective date of April 30th, 2015 (“Lease”), deemed attached hereto and incorporated herein, the undersigned guarantor COLUMBIA CARE, LLC (“Guarantor”) hereby enters into this Guaranty as of this 30th day of April, 2015.

 

1.

Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Landlord, its members, successors and assigns, the prompt and full payment of all rent and other payments to be made by Tenant under the Lease, and the full performance and observance by Tenant of all the other terms, covenants, conditions to be performed and observed by Tenant, for which Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant. Guarantor hereby waives any notice on nonobservance, or proof of notice or demand. Guarantor agrees that in the event of a default by Tenant under the Lease, Landlord may proceed against the Guarantor before, after or simultaneously with proceeding against Tenant.

 

2.

This Guaranty shall not be terminated, affected, or impaired in any manner by reason of (1) the assertion by Landlord against Tenant of any of the rights or remedies reserved to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Lease; (2) the commencement of summary or other proceedings against Tenant; (3) the failure of Landlord to enforce any of its rights against Tenant; or (4) the granting by Landlord of any extensions of time to Tenant.

 

3.

General Provisions

 

  A.

Guarantor further covenants and agrees that: (1) Guarantor shall be bound by all the provisions, terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations contained in the Lease which are to be observed or performed by Tenant thereunder, the same as if Guarantor were named therein as Tenant; (2) this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional and shall be in full force and effect and be binding upon Guarantor until the lease is performed in full; (3) Guarantor is not presently insolvent and will not be rendered insolvent by virtue of the execution and delivery of this Guaranty; (4) Guarantor has not executed or delivered this Guaranty with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud Guarantor’s creditors; and (5) Landlord has entered into the Lease in reliance upon this Guaranty. In the event either Landlord or Tenant validly terminates the Lease, Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to this Guaranty or the Lease shall also cease and terminate.

 

  B.

If Landlord at any time is compelled to take action, by legal proceedings or otherwise, to enforce or compel compliance with the terms of this Guaranty, the undersigned shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Landlord may be entitled hereunder or as a matter of law or in equity, pay to Landlord all costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred or expended by Landlord in connection therewith.


  C.

In the event the Lease is disaffirmed by a Trustee in bankruptcy for Tenant, Guarantor agrees that it shall, at the election of Landlord, either assume the Lease and perform all of the covenants, terms and conditions of Tenant thereunder or enter into a new lease, which said new lease shall be in form and substance identical to the Lease. In the event Landlord elects to require Guarantor to assume the Lease and perform all of the covenants, terms, and conditions of Tenant thereunder, Guarantor shall be given a reasonable opportunity to cure any default(s) by Tenant and Guarantor will retain all of the rights which formerly inured to the benefit of Tenant, including Tenant’s rights pursuant to the Article XV of the Lease.

 

  D.

All duties and obligations of Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the undersigned.

 

  E.

Guarantor agrees that no failure on the part of the Landlord to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereby or by any other related document or by law.

 

  F.

This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

  G.

Guarantor waives and shall have no right of subrogation, indemnification, reimbursement or exoneration with respect to the liabilities of Tenant under the Lease

 

4.

Time is of the essence of this Guaranty.

 

5.

This Guaranty and any attached addenda constitute the entire Guaranty and no oral statement or amendment not reduced to writing and signed by Guarantor shall be enforceable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has hereto set its hand and seal this          day of April, 2015.
