Additionally, the Tenant shall have the right to use in common with others, the access way shown in green on Exhibit A. Landlord reserves the right from time to time, at Landlord’s sole discretion, to alter or redesign the ingress or egress of the parking area; provided, however, that Landlord shall not in the exercise of such rights unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s conduct of Tenant’s business or with Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Demised Premises. Those portions of the Property exclusive of the Demised Premises are referred to herein as the “Remaining Land”.

TERM OF LEASE; CONDITIONS OF PREMISES

 

Section 2.1. Term of Lease. The term of this lease (the “Term”) shall be Ten (10) years commencing on the “Commencement Date” as herein defined and expiring on the last day of the month in which the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. Following the determination of a Commencement Date, at the request of either the Tenant or the Landlord, the parties will enter in to an amendment confirming the Commencement Date.

 

Section 2.2. Possession Date and Commencement Date. The “Possession Date”, upon which Landlord shall deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant, shall be the later of: a) November 15, 2019, or b) the date which is two weeks after the current tenant vacates. The “Commencement Date” of this Lease shall be Ninety (90) days after the Possession Date. The Tenant acknowledges that the Demised Premises are currently occupied and that the Possession Date and Commencement Date are subject to change should the current tenant not vacate by October 31, 2019. The Tenant shall accept the Demised Premises when the same are delivered to the Tenant by the Landlord. For each day after December 15, 2019 that delivery of the Demised Premises is delayed, the Tenant shall be entitled to a credit of one day’s worth of Base Rent, to be credited starting as of the Commencement Date. If the Landlord has not delivered the Demised Premises to the Tenant by December 1, 2019, the Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the Landlord. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that the current tenant vacates by October 31, 2019, the Tenant shall be entitled to take possession of the Demised Premises on November 1, 2019 and that date shall become the Possession Date hereunder. The Tenant agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts not to interfere with the Landlord completing the Landlord’s Work.

 

Section 2.3. Conditions of Premises. Landlord’s Work: Landlord will deliver the space to Tenant in its “AS IS” condition with no work to be done by Landlord except as outlined on Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein (“Landlord’s Work”).

 

Tenant’s Work: Tenant shall perform its work at its sole cost and expense and in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations as outlined on Exhibit B (“Tenant’s Work”). Any Tenant improvements to the Demised Premises will be done only with the prior approval of the Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided, however, that by execution of this Lease, Landlord hereby approves all of Tenant’s work shown on Exhibit B.

 

Excepting Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall assume all costs for the upgrading (or installation if not currently present) of any utility service(s) to the Premises or Property for Tenant’s intended use.

 

The Landlord makes no any warranties or representations as to zoning, permitting or Tenant’s ability to obtain any necessary permits or approval for its use.

ARTICLE III

 

Section 3.1. Basic Rent. From the Commencement Date for the initial term and through the option period (if exercised), Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s office or at such place that Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, fixed minimum annual rent (the “Basic Rent”) shown on Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

The phrase “Basic Rent” shall mean the fixed minimum rent above specified without any set-offs or deductions whatsoever and shall be payable and without any prior demand being made therefor on the first day of each month in advance.

 

The rent and other charges required to be paid under this Indenture of Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and if the Commencement Date shall occur or if this Lease shall terminate on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, the rent and such other charges for such calendar month shall be prorated as provided in Section 3.2 of Article III.

 

Section 3.2. Adjustments for Partial Months Within the Term. Payments due under the Term of this Lease for partial months within the Term shall be prorated in the same ratio that the number of days during which the Tenant occupies the Demised Premises in any such month bears to the number of days in said month, without allowance for weekends or holidays. Tenant’s obligations to pay rent or to make any other payments or to fulfill any other obligations under this Lease shall terminate on the day following the date on which Tenant vacates the Demised Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and all monetary obligations created by this Lease shall be prorated through the date on which the Tenant shall have so vacated the Demised Premises.

 

Section 3.3 Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 3.4 Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 3.5. Options. Provided said Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of the Lease, the Tenant may, at its option, exercised by written notice to Landlord, given not less than 365 days prior to the expiration of the then current term, extend the Lease for up to One (1) Ten (10) year period under the same terms and conditions of the original lease except that the Basic Rent shall be increased as set forth in Section 3.1 above and as outlined on Exhibit D.

 

ARTICLE IV

REAL ESTATE TAXES

 

Section 4.1. Real Estate Taxes and Assessments. The Landlord shall pay to the local tax authorities and other governmental agencies throughout the Term of this Lease and any renewal thereof, all real estate taxes and all assessments which may be levied against the Property and the land and buildings comprising the same including the Demised Premises. The Tenant agrees to pay to the local tax authorities and other governmental agencies, throughout the Term of this Lease and any renewal thereof, all personal property taxes which may be levied against Tenant’s merchandise, trade fixtures and other personal property in and about the Demised Premises.

Section 4.2. Payment of Real Estate Taxes by Tenant. In addition to the Basic Rent payable as provided in Article III hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, a sum equal to Tenant’s proportionate share of real estate taxes due with respect to each tax year (or portion thereof) during each year of the Term hereof, on the first day of each month during the Term hereof and a pro-rata sum for any partial month, and all as hereinafter provided. The term real estate taxes shall mean all taxes, assessments and betterments levied, assessed or imposed at any time by any governmental authority upon or against the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, and on any buildings and other improvements therein or thereon. The Tenant’s proportionate share for the purpose of this Section shall amount to the entire tax hereinbefore described multiplied by the Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share, as defined below. Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share shall be the proportion which the gross floor area of the Demised Premises bears to the gross floor area of all rentable space on the Property (the “Pro-Rata Share”). Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share is 100%. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of its estimated pro-rata share of real estate taxes, at Landlord’s option, either (a) monthly installments in the amount of $1,610.00 (subject to an increase or decrease based on the immediately preceding year’s experience) on the first day of each month during the Term hereof, or (b) advance payment of real estate taxes for a reasonable time period determined by Landlord, which time period shall not exceed six (6) months, based upon the billing practices of the local taxing authority. Any sums collected from Tenant by Landlord in advance for such real estate tax payments shall be held in escrow by Landlord and applied to payment of said taxes when due. For the first and last partial calendar year of this Lease, Tenant will pay its pro-rata share of real estate taxes for the entire year multiplied by a fraction consisting of the number of days in the calendar year subsequent to the date of rent commencement of this Lease, or prior to the date of lease termination, as the case may be, and divided by three hundred and sixty five (365).

 

Section 4.3. Taxes in Lieu of or in Addition to Real Estate Taxes. If, at any time during the Term hereof, the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that in lieu of, or in addition to, the whole or any part thereof there shall be assessed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax on the basic rentals, percentage rentals and/or and additional rentals (the “Gross Rents”) received with respect to the Property, or if there shall be assessed on Landlord a federal, state, county, municipal, or other local income, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon any such Gross Rents, then any and all of such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, to the extent that the same would be payable if the Property were the only property of Landlord subject to same, and if the income from the Property were the only taxable income of Landlord during the years in question, shall be deemed to be included within the term “real estate taxes.”

 

Section 4.4. Adjustment to Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes. In the event that the Landlord elects to erect another building(s) on the Property (in Landlord’s sole discretion), at the time that a Certificate of Occupancy is issued to the Landlord on such building(s) or when such building is assessed for tax purposes, whichever is earlier the Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of the real estate taxes (as defined in this Section 4) for the land only, shall be adjusted proportionately by a calculation using the Demised Premises as the numerator, and the total rentable square footage of the Property as the denominator.

ARTICLE V

COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE

 

Section 5.1. Common Area Maintenance. Landlord shall make available from time to time within the Property such Common Areas (including, but not limited to, parking areas, driveways, truckways, delivery passages, common truckloading areas, access and egress passages, walkways and sidewalks) as Landlord shall deem appropriate. Landlord shall operate, manage, equip, light, repair and maintain such Common Areas and landscaped areas for their intended purposes, all in such a manner as Landlord shall, in its sole discretion, determine, keeping all parking areas clean and reasonably free of snow and ice. Landlord shall also maintain the exterior and structural components of the Property and the Building, including but not limited to the roofs, any common HVAC equipment (but excluding the HVAC equipment exclusively serving the Demised Premises), the exterior walls, foundation, gutters, and utility services extending to the service connection to the Demised Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or interruption of business or other consequences resulting from the making of repairs, replacements, improvements, alterations or additions, or from the doing of any other work to or upon any such Common Areas or elsewhere on the Property, or from delay or failure to perform such maintenance or other work with respect to such areas where such delay or failure is attributable to labor troubles material shortages or any other causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. It is agreed that the use of said Common Areas shall at all times be subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as the Landlord may promulgate uniformly for all the Landlord’s tenants on the Property, in common with others, including but not limited to the designation by Landlord of areas in which such Property tenants (including the Tenant herein) and their employees are to park. Landlord may, from time to time, change the size, location and nature of any Common Area on the Property, provided that reasonable access and parking is provided to and for the Demised Premises, and Tenant’s dedicated parking spaces are unchanged.

 

Notwithstanding the forgoing, unless and until such time as the Landlord erects another building(s) on the Property, the Tenant may perform certain Common Area Maintenance obligations of the Landlord (as agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant), at its sole cost and expense (and not to be included in Common Area Maintenance Charges). In that event, the Tenant’s obligations of insurance and indemnifications under this Lease shall apply to the Tenant’s performance of such Common Area Maintenance. In the event that the Tenant does not perform these Common Area Maintenance obligations to the satisfaction of the Landlord, the Landlord may terminate the Tenant’s right to perform the same upon prior notice to the Tenant.

 

Section 5.2. Charge for Common Area Maintenance.

Management fees to the Tenant shall not exceed 5% of Tenant’s Basic Rent, Common Area Maintenance, and Insurance charges. It is agreed that there shall be no management fee assessed on Tenant’s Real Estate Tax charges.

Section 5.3. Payment of Charges. Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of the Common Area Maintenance Charges, but excepting any cost for maintaining or operating the Remaining Land.

 

Tenant shall pay to Landlord on account of its estimated Pro-Rata Share monthly installments of $1,840.00 (subject to increase or decrease based on the immediately preceding year’s experience) on the first day of each month during the Term hereof and a Pro-Rata Share sum for any partial month. Within ninety (90) days after the close of the first and each subsequent calendar year or, at Landlord’s option, the close of Landlord’s fiscal year during the term and any extensions of the term, and following the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement of the Maintenance Charges for said calendar or fiscal year or portion thereof. If such statement indicates that the amount paid by Tenant in its account for said calendar or fiscal year is less than Tenant’s actual pro rata share of the Common Area Maintenance Charges for said calendar or fiscal year, then Tenant shall pay the amount owing to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of such statement. Should such statement indicate that Tenant has overpaid its Pro-Rata Share of Common Area Maintenance Charges for said calendar or fiscal year, then such overpayment shall be refunded together with Landlord’s annual statement. For the first and last partial calendar or fiscal year of this Lease, Tenant will pay its pro rata share of Common Area Maintenance Charges for the entire year multiplied by a fraction consisting of the number of days in the calendar or fiscal year subsequent to the date of rent commencement of this Lease, or prior to the date of Lease termination, as the case may be, and divided by three hundred sixty-five (365).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect to charge Tenant Maintenance charges directly for said costs, or adjust equitably said costs as set forth above in the immediately preceding paragraph, up to a maximum of four (4) times per calendar or fiscal year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord such direct pass-thru costs in lieu of said estimated monthly payments as aforesaid for the time period covered by such direct pass-thru billing, subject to adjustment as aforesaid after the close of such calendar year or Landlord’s fiscal year.

 

Section 5.4. Adjustment to Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Common Area Maintenance Charges. In the event that the Landlord elects to erect another building(s) on the Property (in Landlord’s sole discretion), at the time that a Certificate of Occupancy is issued to the Landlord on such building(s), the Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share of Common Area Maintenance Charges (as defined in this Section 5) for the land only, shall be adjusted proportionately by a calculation using the Demised Premises as the numerator, and the total rentable square footage of the Property as the denominator.

 

11

 

 

Section 5.5. Tenant’s Right to Audit

 

(a) Landlord shall keep books and records relating to Common Area expenses and real estate taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for a period of two (2) years following the end of each calendar year to which such records relate. Tenant shall have the right to audit, at reasonable request and during normal business hours at Landlord’s office, all documentation in Landlord’s possession pertaining to the Common Area expenses and real estate taxes, including, but not limited to, expenses for taxes, maintenance, insurance, shared utilities and management fees. If any such audit reveals that the Landlord has overcharged the Tenant by more than five percent (5%) with respect to the total annual operating expenses or for real estate taxes, Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of such audit. Tenant’s right to audit shall expire two (2) years after receipt of Landlord’s annual statement for such year; provided, however, that if an audit or review discloses any mathematical errors or the inclusion of expenses which are not real estate taxes or operating expenses, then Tenant or its representative shall have the right to audit or review the annual statements for the immediately preceding calendar year to determine if they contained such errors or such expenses even if Tenant had previously audited or reviewed such reconciliations.

 

(b) If it is found, as a result of such audit, that Landlord has overcharged Tenant for real estate taxes and/or operating expenses, then the following provisions shall apply: (i) if Landlord, with the advice of its independent certified public accounting firm, does not object to Tenant’s audit results, then Landlord shall refund the discrepancy to Tenant within thirty (30) days after notice thereof; and (ii) if Landlord, with the advice of its independent certified public accounting firm, does object to Tenant’s audit results, and if the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s objection notice, then either party shall have the right to refer the dispute to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in Portland, Maine. If it is determined that there are amounts due Tenant under this Section, such amounts shall be credited against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of Base Rent (except in the case of the last Lease Year of the term, in which case the overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after notice thereof.

 

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 6.1 Landlord’s Insurance. At all times Landlord shall insure all the Building for at least its full reasonable replacement value and shall also provide Landlord’s normal liability coverages for the Property’s parking and Common Areas and rental insurance and all other types of insurance in amounts as Landlord deems necessary or desirable for insuring the Property. The cost of such insurance shall be included in Common Area Maintenance Charges.

 

Section 6.2 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant will, upon commencement of the Term, obtain and thereafter maintain, throughout the Term and any extensions thereof, at its own cost and expense, (i) public liability insurance (containing standard extended coverage endorsements, so called) covering the Demised Premises insofar as used by customers, employees, servants or invitees of the Tenant, naming Tenant and Landlord as insured parties, with such companies as are reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord, in amounts not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for bodily injury or death to any one person and not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for injury or death in respect of any one occurrence, and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) for damage to property, (ii) worker’s compensation insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant’s employees working in the Demised Premises, (iii) such other forms of insurance as Landlord may deem necessary.

Section 6.3 Certificates of Insurance. At or prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, Tenant shall provide the Landlord with certificates of insurance certifying that all insurance required to be carried by the Tenant under the terms of this Lease is in full force and effect and bearing the endorsement that Landlord shall receive not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the expiration or other termination thereof and no policy for any such insurance will be canceled without at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Landlord (ten (10) days if such cancellation is due to non-payment).

 

Section 6.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant mutually agree that (insofar as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage obtainable from responsible insurance companies doing business in the State of Maine), with respect to any loss which is covered by insurance then being carried by them, respectively, the one carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the other of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further mutually agree that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation against the other on account thereof even though extra premium may result therefrom.

 

Section 6.5 Tenant Indemnification. Tenant covenants with Landlord and agrees to save Landlord harmless and to exonerate and indemnify Landlord from and against any and all claims, liabilities or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or public authority on account of injury, death, damage or loss to person or property arising out of the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant or by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant (including, without limitation, all patrons, employees and customers of Tenant), or arising out of any delivery to or service supplied to the Demised Premises, or on account of or based upon anything whatsoever done on the Demised Premises, except if the same was caused by negligence, fault or misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees.
