C.                 At the Closing, Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller Parties, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of each applicable Seller Party designated by Seller Parties in writing prior to the Closing Date, an amount equal to (collectively, the “Closing Cash Payment”) (i) the Closing Cash Consideration less (ii) the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness identified in the Payoff Letters (the “Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness”), less (iii) the aggregate amount of the Seller Transaction Expenses identified in the Seller Transaction Expenses Invoices (the “Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses”) less (iv) the Earnest Money Payment Amount less (v) the Holdback Escrow Amount (vi) less the Negative Inventory Adjustment (if any) (vii) plus the Positive Inventory Adjustment (if any);

H.                  Earn-out Payments.

 

(i)                  Time Periods. As additional consideration for the Purchased Assets, during the term of the Ground Lease Sublease Agreement (the “Earn-out Period”) (as may be extended, expire or earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease Sublease Agreement), Buyer shall pay to SG Land with respect to each calendar year (each, a “Calculation Period”) an amount, if any (each, an “Earn-out Payment”), equal to four percent (4%) of Gross Sales in excess of $4,500,000.00 (as adjusted, the “Breakpoint”). Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, Buyer shall submit to SG Land a statement showing the Gross Sales during the preceding year, together with any payment of Percentage Rent due for such year. The Breakpoint shall be prorated for any partial year.

(ii)                Audit. Buyer agrees to keep records of Gross Sales for at least three years after the expiration of the respective calendar (including after the end of the Earn-out Period); such records will be kept in accordance with GAAP and Parent and Buyer’s record retention policies, as applicable. No more than once every two (2) years, SG Land and/or its agents may at reasonable times, and upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Buyer, inspect and audit such records at the Premises or such other location as Buyer may maintain such records. If an audit or examination by SG Land, or its representative, discloses that Buyer has failed to report all Gross Sales accurately, and that the total amount of the Gross Sales is not within ninety-five percent (95%) of the Gross Sales previously reported by Buyer for any period examined, Buyer will reimburse SG Land up to $3,000.00 for all reasonable documented expenses incurred by SG Land in performing the examination, in addition to all additional Percentage Rent found to be owed by Buyer under this Section. If such an audit or examination by SG Land, or its representative, discloses that the total amount of the Gross Sales is within ninety-five (95%) of, or exceeds, the Gross Sales previously reported by Buyer for any period examined, SG Land will remain responsible for such expenses incurred by SG Land in conducting such audit and shall refund excess Percentage Rent found to be paid by Buyer under this Section.

 

(iii)              Independence of Earn-out Payments. Buyer’s obligation to pay each of the Earn-out Payments to SG Land during the Earn-out Period, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.H.1, is an independent, per-annum obligation of Buyer and is not otherwise conditioned or contingent upon the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to any preceding or subsequent Earn-out Payment and the obligation to pay an Earn-out Payment to SG Land shall not obligate Buyer to pay any preceding or subsequent Earn-out Payment. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the conditions precedent to the payment of the Earn-out Payment for the first Calculation Period are not satisfied, but the conditions precedent to the payment of the Earn-out Payment for the second Calculation Period are satisfied, then Buyer would be obligated to pay such Earn-out Payment for the second Calculation Period for which the corresponding conditions precedent have been satisfied, and not the Earn-out Payment for the first Calculation Period.

 

(iv)                Post-Closing Operation of the Business. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Business; provided, that Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, take any actions in bad faith that would have the purpose of avoiding or reducing any of the Earn-out Payments hereunder.

 

5.                   Financial Requirements Regarding the Purchased Assets; Post-Closing Adjustments.

 

A.                 Financial Requirements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on the Closing Date, the aggregate value of the Inventory included in the Purchased Assets and delivered to Buyer shall not be less than $100,000 (the “Minimum Inventory”). “Inventory” shall mean the value of the saleable Inventory included in the Purchased Assets (excluding, however, any inventory which is spoiled, unusable, expired or otherwise non-saleable). Inventory shall be determined in accordance with the Inventory valuation principles set forth on Schedule 5.A (the “Inventory Valuation Principles”). In addition, the cash included in the Purchased Assets and delivered to Buyer at Closing shall not be less than $750, including all cash held in cash registers used by the Business (the “Minimum Cash”).

 

B.                  Inventory Adjustment. On the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will, in accordance with Section 9.D, allow Buyer access to Seller’s facilities, books and records so that Buyer can make a good faith determination of the value of the Inventory held by Seller as of such date, calculated in accordance with the Inventory Valuation Principles (the “Closing Inventory”). The Closing Cash Payment will be adjusted as follows: (A) if Closing Inventory is less than $90,000, the Closing Cash Payment will be reduced by the amount by which the Closing Inventory is less than the Minimum Inventory (such an adjustment, a “Negative Inventory Adjustment”), (B) if Closing Inventory is greater than $110,000, the Closing Cash Payment will be increased by the amount by which the Closing Inventory is greater than the Minimum Inventory (such an adjustment, a “Positive Inventory Adjustment”) or (C) if Closing Inventory is (i) equal to or greater than $90,000 and (ii) equal to or less than $110,000, there will be no adjustment to the Closing Cash Payment; provided that in no event will the Negative Inventory Adjustment or the Positive Inventory Adjustment exceed $25,000.

 

C.                 Purchase Price Allocation. For Tax purposes, the parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price and all other amounts treated as purchase price consideration for Tax purposes among the Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the methodology set forth on Schedule 5(C), which allocation shall be binding on Seller Parties; provided further that allocation of any Earn Out Payments, if applicable, shall be made solely to Purchased Assets sold by, and that Buyer acquires from, SG Land.

Each Seller Party has timely paid all Taxes required to be paid by it and, prior to the Closing Date, will timely pay any Taxes required to be paid by it as of such time.

Claims under this Section 14 shall survive for the full period of any applicable statute of limitations plus an additional ninety (90) days. With respect to any amounts owed by the Members to Buyer pursuant to the indemnification obligations in this Section 14, each Member’s personal liability will be limited to the amount equal to (A) the total amount of any such obligation multiplied by (B) such Member’s Pro Rata Share.

D.                  The representations, warranties contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, and all related rights to indemnification, will survive the Closing as follows: (i) all of the representations and warranties of Seller Parties and the Members contained in this Agreement and the Closing Certificate, in each case other than the Fundamental Representations, will survive the Closing and terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; (ii) the Fundamental Representations, including the Fundamental Representations referenced in the Closing Certificate, will survive the Closing for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

E.                  If and to the extent that any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (after giving effect to the limitations of the Cap on indemnification set forth in Section 15(A) and Section 15.B), such Buyer Indemnified Party will recoup all or any portion of any Damages to which such Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled by directing cash payment of, and Seller Parties and the Members will pay, monetary Damages from Seller Parties or the Members; provided that, with respect to any Damages for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification in accordance with this Section 15, each Member’s personal liability will be limited to the amount equal to (A) the total amount of such Damages multiplied by (B) such Member’s Pro Rata Share; provided further that Buyer may instead elect to offset such Damages (i) from the Holdback Escrow Amount; or (ii) from any amounts owed by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Such remedies are not exclusive of any other remedies the Purchaser Indemnified Persons may exercise at law or in equity to satisfy Sellers’ and the Members’ indemnification obligations hereunder.

 

F.                   If and to the extent that any Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (after giving effect to the limitations of the Cap on indemnification set forth in Section 15.C), such Seller Indemnified Party will recoup all or any portion of any Damages to which such Seller Indemnified Party is entitled by directing cash payment of, and Buyer and Parent will pay, monetary Damages from Buyer or Parent.

16.                  Inability to Assign Contracts.

 

A.                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, to the extent that the assignment or attempted assignment to Buyer of any Contract or Permit that is included among the Purchased Assets (each, an “Assigned Contract”), or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is prohibited by any Law, or would require any consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation by any Person, and such consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation has not been obtained or made prior to the Closing in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or with respect to which any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would materially and adversely affect the rights of Seller or Purchaser thereunder, then neither this Agreement nor any Related Agreement will constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof, and the same will not be assigned at the Closing.

 

B.                  Both prior and subsequent to the Closing, Seller will use reasonable efforts and cooperate with Buyer to obtain promptly all consents, waivers, authorizations or novations and to timely give all notices required with respect to the Assigned Contracts, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Seller will bear and pay the cost of all filing, recordation and similar fees and Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the assignment of the Assigned Contracts and any additional fees or charges (howsoever denominated) required by any Person in connection with the assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts or any related consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice.

 

C.                  If any consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice that is necessary for the effective assignment to Buyer of any Assigned Contract cannot be obtained or made and, as a result, the material benefits of such Assigned Contract cannot be provided to Buyer following the Closing as otherwise required in accordance with this Agreement, then Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to, with respect to any such Assigned Contracts, for a period of six months, cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the rights and benefits under such Assigned Contract, including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against any other party to such Assigned Contract arising out of any breach or cancellation of such Assigned Contract by such other party and, if requested by Buyer, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyer. Once any such consent, waiver, authorization, or novation is obtained or notice is properly made in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, Seller will assign such Assigned Contract to Buyer at no additional cost to Buyer.

 

17.                  Restrictive Covenants.

 

A.                 From and after the Closing, Seller and each Member will keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person or use for such Person’s own benefit or the benefit of any other Person any confidential or non-public information regarding the Business.

 19 

 

 

B.                  As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller and each Member agrees that, from the Closing Date through the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Restricted Period”), Seller and each Member will not, directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as an owner, officer, director, manager, employee, partner, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for, become employed by, or in any other manner engage in the Business or any business that competes directly with the Business within the State of Colorado. Nothing herein will prohibit any such Person from being a passive owner of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as Seller or such Member has no active participation in the business of such corporation. For purposes hereof, “competes directly with” shall mean a business which engages in the sale and/or distribution of medical and/or retail marijuana within twenty-five (25) miles of the Leased Real Property; such term shall expressly exclude any business (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any business activity of Lindsey Mintz, Deborah Dunafon or Terry Grossman ) which engages in the cultivation, manufacturing, sale and/or wholesale distribution of products derived from hemp or marijuana.

 

C.                  As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, from the Closing Date through the two (2)-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non- Solicit Restricted Period”), Seller and each Member (i) will not, directly or indirectly contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire any Person employed by Buyer or its Affiliates (or any successor to the Business); provided, however, that this Section 17C will not prohibit any such Person from (A) conducting any general solicitations in a newspaper, trade publication or other periodical or web posting not specifically targeted at any Person employed by Buyer or its Affiliates (or any successor to the Business), or (B) participating in job fairs, career fairs or similar recruiting events; and (ii) will not induce or attempt to induce any customer or other business relation of the Business into any business relationship that might materially harm Buyer or its Affiliates or the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such foregoing restrictions shall expressly not prohibit Seller or any of its Members from: (x) engaging any independent contractors of Seller; or (y) directly or indirectly contacting, approaching or soliciting for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire Lindsey Mintz, Michelle Sandoval, DunMin Media, Nick Moscia and/or Rich Gilman.

 

D.                  As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, from and after the Closing, Seller and each Member will not, directly or indirectly denigrate or disparage Buyer or its Affiliates (including Parent) and their respective equityholders, managers, directors, officers, employees, independent contracts or representatives or the Business.

 

E.                  Seller and each Member acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or alleged breach by such Person of any of the provisions of this Section 17, monetary damages will not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or alleged breach, Buyer, its Affiliates and their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive relief, or both, or any other equitable remedies available to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the extension of the Non-Compete Restricted Period or Non-Solicit Restricted Period, as applicable, by a period equal to (A) the length of the violation of this Section 17 plus (B) the length of any court proceedings necessary to stop such violation), in each case, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

 

18.               Release of Claims. Effective as of the Closing, except with respect to (a) any claim to enforce the terms of or any breach of this Agreement or any Related Agreement and (b) if (and only if) Member is an officer, member or director of Seller, any rights, if any, with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (collectively, the “Unreleased Claims”), (i) each Member, on behalf of such Member and such Member’s predecessors, successors, assigns, next-of-kin, representatives, administrators, executors, trusts, agents, and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing and (ii) Seller, on behalf of, as applicable, Seller, SG Land and their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, next-of-kin, representatives, administrators, executors, trusts, agents and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasors”), unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges Buyer and Parent and each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, directors, equityholders, financing sources, advisors, consultants and representatives and any predecessors, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Released Person”), from any past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, Liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, whether unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed, related to any matters, causes, conditions, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events arising out of or related to the Business (collectively, the “Released Liabilities”), and none of any Member, Seller or any other Releasor will seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from any Released Person. Each Member and Seller represents on such Member’s or Seller’s own behalf and on behalf of its Releasors that none of such Releasors has asserted any claim against any Released Person for indemnification or otherwise and that none of such Releasors is aware of any claim by any of such Releasors (nor of any fact, circumstance or event that forms or would form the basis for any such claim) other than Unreleased Claims or claims that are waived, released and forever discharged under this Section 18. Each Member and Seller is aware that such Member and Seller, as applicable, and any of its Releasors may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that such Member, Seller or any of its Releasors now know or believe to be true with respect to the matters released herein, but that, except for the Unreleased Claims, it is the intention of such Member and Seller and their respective Releasors to fully and finally release all Released Liabilities and Liabilities of any nature related thereto that do exist, may exist or heretofore have existed. Each Member and Seller represents and warrants on such Member’s or Seller’s, as applicable, own behalf and on behalf of its respective Releasors to the Released Persons that none of any such Member, Seller or any of their respective Releasors has assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person all or any portion of, or any interest in any Released Liability or any Legal Proceeding or Liability that is or that purports to be released or discharged under this Section 18.

20.               Dispute Resolution. Subject to Section 21, any dispute between any of the Parties hereto or any claim by a Party against another Party arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the agreements entered into in connection herewith, or relating to any alleged breach hereof or thereof shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules then in force of the American Arbitration Association.

In the event the arbitrators cannot agree upon the selection of a third arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association at the request of any of the Parties in dispute. The decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a written opinion in support thereof. Such decision shall be final and binding upon the Parties in dispute without right of appeal. Judgment upon any such decision may be entered into in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the decision in an order of enforcement. Costs of the arbitration shall be assessed by the arbitrator against all or any of the Parties in dispute and shall be paid promptly by the Party or Parties so assessed.

 

21.               Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any Party hereto is obligated to, but nevertheless does not, perform any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, then any other Party, in addition to all other rights or remedies, shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance mandating that the other Party or Parties perform such covenant, agreement or obligation. In an action for specific performance by any Party against any other Party, the other Party shall not plead adequacy of damages at law.

 

22.               Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, at Buyer’s request, and without further consideration from Buyer, Seller Parties and the Members shall execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other actions as Buyer reasonably may require to convey, transfer to and vest in Buyer and to put Buyer in possession of the Purchased Assets.

 

23.               Waiver of Compliance; Consents.

Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any Party hereto, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 23.

 

24.              Post-Closing Payments.

To the extent not remitted immediately to Buyer, Buyer may offset such amounts against any obligation of Buyer to Seller or the Members now or hereafter existing. Seller shall periodically provide Buyer with such additional evidence or supporting detail as Buyer may reasonably request regarding particular payments or outstanding accounts included in the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

In connection with Section 10(D)(xiv) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated [●], by and among Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), Double Brow, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, Smoking Gun, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, Smoking Gun Land Company, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and each Member as defined therein (the “Purchase Agreement”), the undersigned (the “Securityholder”) has agreed to deliver this Lock-Up Agreement (this “Lock-Up Agreement”) to Parent with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock the Securityholder acquired under the Purchase Agreement (the “Shares”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.                  In consideration of issuance of Parent Common Stock, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Securityholder agrees that the Securityholder will not (and any transferee of Shares held or formerly held by the Securityholder may not), without the prior written consent of Parent, directly or indirectly, assign, sell, pledge, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase, enter into any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or transfer (collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares before and including six (6) months from the date of the Securityholder’s acquisition of the Shares (the “Issue Date”). Thereafter, the Securityholder will only (and any transferee of the Shares held or formerly held by the Securityholder may only) Transfer (a) up to an aggregate of 25% of the Shares at any time following the six (6) month anniversary of the Issue Date until the twelve month anniversary of the Issue Date, (b) together with any Shares Transferred under clause (a), up to an aggregate of 50% of the Shares at any time following the twelve month anniversary of the Issue Date until the eighteen month anniversary of the Issue Date, and (c) up to all of the Shares any time following the eighteen month anniversary of the Issue Date. All Transfers of Shares may be liquidated at a daily rate of no more than 5% of the preceding five (5) day average volume of the Company’s Common Stock on any given trading day.

 

2.                  Any Transfer by the Securityholder (or any transferee of Shares held or formerly held by the Securityholder) is subject to and conditioned upon the intended recipient’s delivery to Parent of a written undertaking, in substantially the form of this Lock-Up Agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Parent, pursuant to which the intended recipient agrees to be bound by substantially the same restrictions as set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 2). Any purported Transfer of any Shares by the Securityholder (or any transferee of Shares held or formerly held by the Securityholder) not made in compliance with the requirements of Section 1 and/or Section 2 shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of Parent or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by Parent.

 

3.                  The Securityholder hereby agrees that, to the extent that the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any agreement between Parent and the Securityholder, this Lock-Up Agreement supersedes and controls such agreement.

 

4.                  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Colorado without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The Securityholder hereby irrevocably agrees that any suit or proceeding arising directly or indirectly pursuant to or under this Lock-Up Agreement shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the City and County of Denver, Colorado. By its execution of this Lock-Up Agreement, the Securityholder hereby covenants and irrevocably submits to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City and County of Denver, Colorado and agrees that any process in any such action may be served upon it personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon it or its agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon it in Denver, Colorado. The Securityholder waives any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.

 

 

 

 

 42 

 

 

5.                  The Securityholder hereby represents and warrants that the Securityholder has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement and that this Lock-Up Agreement has been duly authorized (if applicable), executed and delivered by the Securityholder and is a valid and binding agreement of the Securityholder. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Lock-Up Agreement shall survive the death or incapacity of the Securityholder and any obligations of the Securityholder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Securityholder.

 

Very truly yours,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Premises, mutual promises and obligations set forth herein, Subtenant and Sublandlord agree as follows:

 

 

 

 

 5 

 

 

1.PREMISES; PRIME LEASE.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Premises” means all of the Premises as defined in the Prime Lease, and includes Parking, the Building any other improvements on the Real Property Premises.

 

1.2Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that (a) the Prime Lease has not been amended or modified and comprises the entire understanding and agreement of Prime Landlord and Sublandlord with respect to the Premises, (b) the Initial Term of the Prime Lease expires on September 30, 2024; (c) the Prime Lease is in full force and effect, (d) no event of default (after all notice and cure periods have elapsed) or, an event which, with the passage of time and the giving of notice, would constitute an event of default, has occurred under the Prime Lease on the part of Sublandlord or Prime Landlord, (e) Sublandlord has not assigned, sublet or otherwise transferred its leasehold interest in the Premises, and no one other than Sublandlord has the right to use any portion of the Premises, and any agreements with affiliates of Sublandlord to use the Premises have been terminated; and (f) Sublandlord has not entered into any unrecorded parking agreements affecting the Premises and to Sublandlord’s actual knowledge, there are no unrecorded parking agreements affecting the Premises.

 

1.3Sublandlord shall not (a) amend or modify the Prime Lease without the prior written consent of Subtenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the amendment or modification does not diminish the rights and privileges of Subtenant under this Sublease or impose greater duties and obligations on Subtenant under this Sublease, (b) agree to a termination of the Prime Lease unless, in connection therewith, Prime Landlord accepts this Sublease as a direct lease between Prime Landlord and Subtenant, and (c) do or cause to be done or suffer or permit any act to be done which would or might cause the Prime Lease, or the rights of Sublandlord as tenant under the Prime Lease, to be endangered, canceled, terminated, forfeited or surrendered, or which would or might cause Sublandlord to be in default thereunder.

 

2.SECURITY DEPOSIT. Within three (3) business days of the execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (“Deposit”).

If any portion of the Deposit is so used, applied, or retained, Subtenant shall within ten (10) business days after written demand deposit funds with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to its original amount. Sublandlord shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general funds, and Subtenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Deposit.

Sublandlord may deliver the Deposit to the purchaser of the Premises if the Premises are sold, and after such time, Sublandlord will have no further liability to Subtenant with respect to the Deposit. Within the earlier of (a) three (3) business days subsequent to Sublandlord’s inspection of the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, and (b) ten (10) business days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, any portion of the Deposit which is not used, applied or retained as set forth hereunder shall be remitted to Subtenant.

 10 

 

 

A.Property insurance against loss by fire and other hazards covered by the so-called “all-risk” or “special form” policy on a full replacement cost basis covering the Premises.
B.Commercial general liability insurance covering all acts of Subtenant, its employees, agents, representatives, and guests on or about the Premises, in a combined single limit amount of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars (U.S. $2,000,000.00), which policy shall include, but not be limited to, coverage for bodily injury, property damage, personal liability, and contractual liability applying to this Sublease.

    Subtenant may maintain reasonable deductibles on the insurance required by this Section 16.1. All of Subtenant’s insurance required to be furnished pursuant to Section 16.1 (A), (B), (D), and (E) shall name Sublandlord and Sublandlord’s lender as a named insured to the extent of Subtenant’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 16.1. The insurance Subtenant is required to maintain pursuant to Section 16.1 (A) and (E) shall name Sublandlord and Sublandlord’s lender as a named insured to the extent their interests appear. Subtenant’s coverages will be primary and any coverage maintained by Sublandlord will be secondary and solely for Sublandlord’s benefit if Sublandlord elects to maintain any coverage. All of Subtenant’s insurance shall provide for thirty (30) days written notice to Sublandlord prior to cancellation or non-renewal. Certificates of all such insurance shall be delivered to Sublandlord prior to the earlier of (i) the date Subtenant desires to access the Premises under Section 6.2 or (ii) within thirty (30) days of the Rent Commencement Date and upon written request by Sublandlord. If Subtenant fails to comply with the requests of this Section 16.1, Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance and keep the same in effect and Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord the premium therefor upon demand until such time that Subtenant conforms with its insurance requirements set forth in this Section 16.1.

 

16.2Sublandlord’s Insurance. Sublandlord has no obligation under the Sublease to maintain insurance on the Premises but may, in its sole discretion, maintain such insurance as it deems appropriate for Sublandlord’s purposes.

 

16.3General Insurance Requirements. If any insurance required hereunder ceases to be available, or is available on terms so unacceptable that prudent tenants in the state of Colorado generally do not carry such insurance, then, in lieu of such insurance, Subtenant may carry the most comparable insurance which is available and generally carried by prudent parties. All policies of insurance required under this Article 16 may be in the form of blanket or umbrella policies. Further, all insurance required hereunder shall be issued by financially responsible insurers.

 

16.4Restoration of Damage to Building or Premises. Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, in the event of any casualty to the Building on the Premises, Subtenant shall use the insurance proceeds to alter, repair, demolish and construct new improvements on, restore or replace the damaged or destroyed Building, in whole or in part, as applicable (“Restoration”). Rent shall not be abated during the period of Restoration. If fire or other casualty during the last three (3) years of the Term causes damage to the Building in an amount exceeding fifty percent (50%) of its full construction -replacement cost, Subtenant may elect to terminate this Sublease by giving written notice of such termination to Sublandlord within sixty (60) days following the date of damage, in which case any insurance proceeds relating to the construction or replacement of the Building shall be paid to Sublandlord.
   
  The full amount of proceeds of Subtenant’s property/casualty insurance on the Building that are payable on account of the casualty, except and excluding loss of business income insurance proceeds, will be held as a restoration fund for reconstruction purposes (“Restoration Fund”). The Restoration Fund will be made available to pay the costs of such Restoration. Subtenant will be required to obtain Sublandlord’s approval as to Subtenant’s settlement with its insurer of the casualty claim and keep Sublandlord informed as to the status of settlement of the claim for any casualty to the Building.

  

 

 

 

 11 

 

 

  Subtenant will not be required to incur costs for the Restoration in excess of the Restoration Fund proceeds, but will cause the Building, to the extent feasible, to be restored: (i) to a condition appropriate to permit continuation of business operation, and (ii) substantially the same value and utility as immediately before the casualty, to the extent feasible taking into consideration, among other matters, the amount of the Restoration Fund. In no way shall this provision be construed to oblige Sublandlord to pay for the cost of Restoration. In the event the Restoration Fund exceeds the cost of the Restoration, such excess shall be paid to, and retained by, Subtenant.
   
16.5Waiver of Claims and Subrogation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Sublease to the contrary, to the extent possible without invalidating or decreasing the coverage under their respective insurance policies, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby release one another from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to the extent covered by the policies of insurance required to be maintained under this Sublease or under any other policies of insurance actually maintained by the Party, whichever is applicable, even if such loss or damage has been caused by the fault or negligence of the other Party, or anyone for whom such Party may be responsible, which loss or damage: (i) is caused by a peril required by this Sublease to be covered by the insurance of the Party incurring the loss; or (ii) if insured for a greater amount than required, to the extent of the recovery under any property insurance policy covering the Party incurring the loss. Each Party, to the extent applicable, shall apply to their insurers to obtain such waivers, to the extent necessary, and each Party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by their insurer to evidence compliance with the aforementioned waiver.

Such termination shall be effective on the date Subtenant is required to give up its occupancy, use, or access, whichever is earlier. The termination of this Sublease as provided above shall not operate to deprive Subtenant of the right, and Sublandlord expressly grants to Subtenant the right, to make a claim for an award in condemnation, or participate in an award, for loss of business goodwill, relocation expenses, Subtenant’s leasehold interest and/or lease bonus value, loss or damage to Fixtures and improvements made by Subtenant to the Premises, the value of Subtenant’s unexpired options to extend the Term, or any other claims that Subtenant is permitted or elects to make, or to receive notices and participate in the condemnation proceedings, including any settlement negotiations, whether conducted prior to or after the filing of a condemnation proceeding. Subtenant’s rights under this Section 21.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

 

21.2No Termination of this Sublease. If this Sublease is not terminated as provided in this Article 21, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall agree upon an equitable reduction in the Rent. If the Parties fail to agree upon such reduction within sixty (60) days from the date Subtenant is required to give up such occupancy, use or access, whichever is earlier, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each choose one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so chosen shall choose a third arbitrator. The decision of any two of the arbitrators concerning the Rent reduction, if any, shall be binding on Sublandlord and Subtenant and any expense of the arbitration shall be divided equally between Sublandlord and Subtenant. Any such reduction in Rent shall not constitute an election of remedies by Subtenant nor deprive Subtenant of the right to make a claim for an award in condemnation as set forth above or receive notices and participate in the condemnation proceedings, including any settlement negotiations. Any reduction in Rent shall remain subject to escalation in Sections 4.3 and 4.4.

 

22.SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDOVER TENANCY.

 

22.1Ownership of Building; Surrender of Premises by Subtenant. On expiration or termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender the Premises to Sublandlord in good repair, operating condition, working order, and appearance, subject to reasonable wear and tear and any HVAC or utility limitations on maintenance and casualty losses as provided in this Sublease. Subtenant’s obligation to repair or replace the walls, roof, electric, plumbing, utility systems, and HVAC is subject to the limitations in contained herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease which may be interpreted to the contrary, all of Subtenant’s identification signage, FF&E, trade fixtures, Fixtures, and personal property shall remain the sole property of Subtenant and may be removed by it upon such expiration or termination of this Sublease. Subtenant will restore any physical damage caused by such removal. Any property of Subtenant not so removed within fifteen (15) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease shall be deemed abandoned by Subtenant and shall become the property of the Sublandlord.

 

22.2Holding Over. In the event Subtenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after termination or expiration of this Sublease, Subtenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a Subtenant on a month-to-month basis (“Hold Over Period”) at a monthly Rent equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the last monthly installment of Rent payable during the Term (“Hold Over Payment”). If Sublandlord and Subtenant are in good faith negotiation during the Hold Over Period, and an agreement is consummated between the Parties to continue a Sublandlord/Subtenant relationship, all rental payments under the new agreement (“New Rental Payments”) shall be retroactive to the first day of the Hold Over Period. Any Hold Over Payment made by Subtenant in excess of the New Rental Payments shall be a credit to the New Rental Payments first coming due, and any deficiency between the New Rental Payments and the Hold Over Payments made during the Hold Over Period shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord with the first New Rental Payments. All other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Sublease shall remain the same and in full force and effect.

23.DEFAULT.

 

23.1Subtenant’s Monetary Default. If Subtenant fails to pay Sublandlord Rent or other sum to be paid to Sublandlord within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of delinquency from Sublandlord, Subtenant will pay Sublandlord $500.00 (the “Late Charge”). Subtenant agrees that in the event of any such late payment by Subtenant, the damages resulting to Sublandlord will be difficult to ascertain precisely, and that the Late Charge constitutes a reasonable and good faith estimate by the Parties of the extent of such damages. Such costs may include without limitation, administrative costs, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Sublandlord. Acceptance of a Late Charge by Sublandlord shall not constitute a waiver of Subtenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Sublandlord from exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder.

 

23.2Other Subtenant Default. Subtenant shall be in default of this Sublease for failure to abide by any of its terms. In the event of default, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with notice of Subtenant’s default and Subtenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cure the same, or if the default or breach is of such character as to require more than thirty (30) days to cure, then Subtenant shall have thirty (30) days to commence such cure and thereafter diligently proceed to cure such default within sixty (60) days. Should Subtenant fail to cure such default within thirty (30) days (or sixty (60) days, as applicable) after receipt of such notice, Sublandlord shall have the right to exercise one of the following options:

 

A.Sublandlord may declare the forfeiture of this Sublease by sending Subtenant written notice thereof (“Termination Notice”). Ten (10) days after receipt of a Termination Notice and continuing failure of Subtenant to cure, this Sublease shall expire and terminate as fully and completely and with the same effect as if that date were fixed for the expiration of the Term and all rights of Subtenant, including occupancy of the Premises, shall expire and Subtenant shall be relieved of all liability for any future Rent or any other sums otherwise due from the date of such termination; or

 

B.Sublandlord may reenter and repossess the Premises, removing all persons therefrom without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of monthly Rent or claims for future Rent or any other sums otherwise due, or breach of any other covenants hereunder. Within a reasonable period of time following such reentry and repossession, Sublandlord shall make all reasonable efforts to relet the Premises for the account of Subtenant on such terms and conditions and for such uses as Sublandlord may reasonably determine in an effort to mitigate Sublandlord’s damages as a result of Subtenant’s default hereunder. Sublandlord shall collect and receive any Rent or any other sums otherwise due which may be payable by reason of such reletting. Subtenant shall be liable for and pay to Sublandlord all monthly Rent or any other sums otherwise due up to and including the date of such reentry and repossession; and, thereafter, Subtenant shall, until the end of what would otherwise have been the then current Term, be liable to Sublandlord for and shall pay to Sublandlord, all monthly Rent or any other sums otherwise due less the net proceeds of any reletting as set forth herein, after deducting from such proceeds all of Sublandlord’s reasonable expenses incurred in conjunction with such reletting. Subtenant shall pay such monthly Rent or any other sums otherwise due on the days on which they would be payable hereunder in the absence of Subtenant’s default;

 

C.Sublandlord may cure the default and Subtenant shall promptly reimburse Sublandlord for any reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Sublandlord, plus interest at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum from the date of expenditure until reimbursement; or

 

D.Sublandlord may pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity.

 

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

23.3Sublandlord’s Default. If Sublandlord defaults in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease or breaches any representation or warranty contained in this Sublease, Subtenant shall promptly notify Sublandlord in writing. If Sublandlord fails to cure such default or breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or if the default or breach is of such character as to require more than thirty (30) days to cure and Sublandlord fails to commence to cure within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and thereafter diligently proceed to cure such default within sixty (60) days then, in either such event Subtenant, at its option and to the extent permitted by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, may do the following:

 

A.Cure such default and setoff or deduct any expense so incurred from the Rent or other amounts due;

 

B.Cancel and terminate this Sublease; and/or

 

C.Pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity, including bringing an action against Sublandlord for actual damages and attorneys’ fees.

 

    Failure by Sublandlord to reimburse any overpayments by Subtenant of Rent or other charges, within twenty (20) days after receipt by Sublandlord of notice of such overpayment and documentation evidencing same, shall constitute a default by Sublandlord hereunder.

 

24.RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER/OPTION. If (a) Prime Landlord notifies Sublandlord of Prime Landlord’s decision to market the Premises for sale as set forth in Section 25 of the Prime Lease, or (b) Sublandlord decides to market its interest in the Premises for sale (in either case, an “Offer to Sell”), Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant within one (1) day of Prime Landlord’s notice, or Sublandlord’s decision to market, as applicable. Furthermore, if Subtenant does not elect to purchase the Premises within five (5) business days of Prime Landlord’s notice, or if Sublandlord decides to market its interest in the Premises, Sublandlord shall, in either case, use commercially reasonable efforts and to the extent possible, grant Subtenant an option to purchase the Premises from Prime Landlord or Sublandlord’s interest in the Premises on the same terms and conditions as provided in the Offer to Sell. Sublandlord makes no guaranty, representation, or warranty as it relates to Sublandlord’s ability to provide Subtenant with Sublandlord’s right to exercise the Offer to Sell. The Offer to Sell purchase price shall not exceed the price upon which the Premises is subsequently listed for sale to third parties; provided, however, the purchase price to Subtenant shall be reduced by any real estate commissions Prime Landlord or Sublandlord would be obligated to pay by contract pursuant to a sale to a third party but which Prime Landlord or Sublandlord shall not be obligated to pay upon a sale to Subtenant. Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice of the terms and conditions of the Offer to Sell, enclosing a copy of the applicable offer and all other information and documentation reasonably necessary for Subtenant’s consideration of such offer (“Offer Package”). Subtenant may exercise the option to purchase the Premises by notice served on the Sublandlord at any time within ten (10) days after receipt of the Offer Package. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, closing on the Offer to Sell shall occur, at the Subtenant’s election, no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than ninety (90) days after Subtenant’s acceptance of the Offer to Sell.

26.TAXES.

 

26.1Taxes Defined. For the purposes of this Sublease, the term “Taxes” shall include any form of assessment, license fee, license tax, commercial rent tax, levy, charge, tax or similar imposition imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state, or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement or special assessment district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Prime Landlord or Sublandlord in the Premises including, but not limited to, the following:

 

A.Any tax on Sublandlord’s or Prime Landlord’s right to rental income from the Premises or as against Sublandlord’s business of leasing the Premises, but shall not include any general income, capital gains income, franchise, excise, gift, estate, inheritance, gift, devolution or succession, excess profits, capital stock, capital levy or documentary transfer tax of Sublandlord or Prime Landlord arising out of Sublandlord’s Prime Landlord’s rights in the Premises;

 

B.Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or totally, of or in addition to any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of Taxes, it being acknowledged by Subtenant and Sublandlord that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as police protection, fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Subtenant and Sublandlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Taxes for the purposes of this Sublease;

 

C.Any tax, fee or charge on the operation and the use of the Premises imposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other Governmental Authority; and

 

D.Subtenant’s obligation to pay Taxes are subject to the following: (i) Subtenant will pay the Taxes on or before the due date of the Taxes and will, on request by Sublandlord, provide proof of payment to Sublandlord; and (ii) the Parties will cooperate on having all statements for Taxes for the Premises sent directly to Subtenant, if feasible. If any statement of Taxes is sent to Sublandlord, Sublandlord will promptly forward a copy to Subtenant.

 

26.2Real Property Taxes. During the Term, Subtenant will pay or cause to be paid, directly to the Arapahoe County Treasurer, or such other public official authorized by law to receive such payments, prior to delinquency, Taxes levied or assessed against the Premises and Building provided that Sublandlord sends Subtenant copies of tax bills immediately upon receipt. Taxes will be prorated between the Parties for any partial year at the Rent Commencement Date and expiration or other termination of this Sublease.

 

26.3Payment in Installments. If the Taxes, including any special assessments or local improvement district assessments, are payable in installments, only installments coming due during the Term will be the responsibility of Subtenant under this Sublease. If either Party’s consent is required to cause the bonding of any assessment or to contest any Taxes, the Party will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent upon request. Sublandlord warrants and represents to Subtenant that, to the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge, the Premises are not presently subject to any general or special assessments, and to the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge, there are no special or general assessments presently contemplated to come into effect against the Premises during the Term of this Sublease, but this shall not excuse Subtenant from its obligation to pay said amounts.

 

 

 

 

 18 

 

 

26.4Right To Contest. Subtenant will be permitted to contest any valuation of the Premises or Building for the purpose of the assessment or levy of Taxes, the amount of any Taxes, or any lien or other charge on the Premises claimed or asserted by any party other than Sublandlord. Sublandlord agrees to reasonably cooperate in Subtenant’s efforts to do so. If the Premises or Building are subjected to a lien as a result of nonpayment, Subtenant shall provide to Sublandlord, upon its demand, such security or assurances reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord that Subtenant can and will satisfy the lien before enforcement against the Premises.

 

26.5Property Taxes. In addition, Subtenant shall pay, before delinquency, all personal property taxes assessed the Building and Subtenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, and other personal property on the Premises.

 

27.QUIET ENJOYMENT. Sublandlord represents and covenants that, upon Subtenant paying the Rent and performing the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, Subtenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy exclusive possession of the Premises, all appurtenances belonging thereto, and all rights granted to Subtenant by this Sublease for the entire duration of the Term and any Extended Term without any hindrance or interference by Sublandlord or any person acting by, through or under Sublandlord or deriving rights through the Sublandlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, Sublandlord hereby represents and covenants that promptly upon receipt of written notice from Subtenant of a violation of Subtenant’s rights to quiet enjoyment of the Premises under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall take all reasonable actions necessary to restore Subtenant’s full rights to quiet enjoyment of the Premises, as provided herein. In the event that Subtenant’s full rights have not been restored within thirty (30) days following Sublandlord’s receipt of such notice, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, Subtenant shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies permitted under this Sublease, including under Article 23 pertaining to Sublandlord’s default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant represents and covenants that it acknowledges the nature of adjacent and nearby businesses including, without limitation, a bar and nightclub, and that the operation of such activities shall be deemed to not interfere with Subtenant’s rights pursuant to this Section 27.

 

28.BANKRUPTCY. Should Subtenant make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or seek an order for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Sublandlord, at its option, may terminate all rights of Subtenant under this Sublease, if permitted by applicable law.

 

29.Subject to Sublandlord’s obligations as set forth in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant written notice in the event Sublandlord assigns Sublandlord’s interest in this Sublease to another party, or in the event Prime Landlord conveys title to the Premises or assigns its interest in the Prime Lease to another party as set forth in Section 31 of the Prime Lease. Such notice shall include such party’s tax identification number and shall be accompanied by documents (including a W-9 form or similar tax documents) which evidence the assignment of interest and the effective date thereof. After receipt of such notice, Rent and other payments due and future notices to Sublandlord shall be given to the party designated therein and Subtenant shall attorn to the new sublandlord as substitute sublandlord provided that the substitute sublandlord expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of Sublandlord under this Sublease. Should Sublandlord fail to provide the required notice or documentation, or should Subtenant be reasonably uncertain concerning the proper party to whom Rent is due, Subtenant may withhold Rent thereafter accruing until Subtenant is furnished the required notice, documentation and/or satisfactory proof as to the party entitled thereto. Subtenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of request, execute for Sublandlord an estoppel certificate concerning the terms of this Sublease, in form reasonably acceptable to Subtenant, but no such request may be made of Subtenant more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period.

 

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

30.ESTOPPEL, SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT.

 

30.1Estoppel Certificates. Upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the request, either Party will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other Party a certificate stating:

 

A.That this Sublease is unmodified, amended and/or supplemented and in full force and effect; or, if there have been modifications, that this Sublease is in full force and effect as modified, and setting forth such modifications (and Sublandlord shall provide the same certifications with respect to the Prime Lease, if requested);

 

B.The dates to which Rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid (and Sublandlord shall provide the same certification with respect to the Prime Lease, if requested); and

 

C.Either that, to the knowledge of the Party, no default exists under this Sublease, or specifying each such default that exists under this Sublease, or specifying each such default of which the Party has knowledge (and Sublandlord shall provide the same certifications with respect to the Prime Lease, if requested).

 

    Any such certificate may be relied upon as to the facts stated therein by any actual or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Premises from Sublandlord or any actual or prospective sublessee or assignee of Subtenant’s interest in this Sublease in connection with one of the transactions permitted or approved under Article 20. A Party shall not be obligated to update any certificate once delivered other than in response to a request of execution of a new estoppel certificate.

 

30.2Subordination, Nondisturbance, and Attornment. Provided that Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed and all of Subtenant’s other rights under this Sublease are fully recognized, unless Subtenant’s right of possession under this Sublease shall have been terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease, Subtenant agrees that, on request of the Prime Landlord, Subtenant will in writing subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust to any bank, insurance company or other institutional lender, now or hereafter in force against the Premises, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereto; provided, that Subtenant’s subordination shall apply to the extent that the party who receives the benefit of the subordination (“Lender”) enters into or approves a written agreement stating that Subtenant’s right to quiet possession pursuant to this Sublease shall not be disturbed by such party so long as Subtenant pays the Rent and observes and performs all of the provisions of this Sublease and the Prime Lease.
   
  In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust or other lien made by Sublandlord covering the Premises, Subtenant shall attorn to the Lender or other purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such Lender or other purchaser as the Sublandlord under this Sublease.
   
  Sublandlord will cause any Lender that may provide financing to Sublandlord to record its lien interest subject to and after recordation of the Memorandum of Ground Sublease (in the form attached to the APA) evidencing this Sublease, so that this Sublease will not be subject to termination in the event of foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure under Lender’s loan instruments. If required by the Lender, Subtenant will enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) with the Lender. As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the Parties approve the form of SNDA attached as Exhibit E to the Prime Lease; however, if the Lender requires that the SNDA be on Lender’s form, Subtenant will not unreasonably withhold approval of any commercially reasonable SNDA form of the Lender, so long as it is with an institutional lender and the SNDA form of such Lender does not materially modify or impair the rights and entitlements under this Sublease, change Subtenant’s rights to rebuild and to continue this Sublease following condemnation or casualty, or otherwise materially and detrimentally alter the approved format of the SNDA as attached to the Prime Lease. Sublandlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain the Lender’s approval of the SNDA attached to the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall similarly provide Subtenant with executed SNDAs from any and all future mortgagees, holders of deeds of trust, and any other parties holding an interest in the Premises, no later than the date said parties obtain such an interest. Subtenant may waive these conditions precedent upon written notice to Sublandlord, although no other action by Subtenant short of such notice shall be deemed an implied waiver of Subtenant’s privileges hereunder.

 

 

 

 

 20 

 

 

31.FORCE MAJEURE. Except for any payment obligations under this Sublease, neither Party shall be required to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Sublease so long as such performance is delayed or prevented by force majeure, which shall mean any acts of God, strike, lockout, material or labor restriction by any Governmental Authority, civil riot, and any other cause not reasonably within the control of such Party and which by the exercise of due diligence such Party is unable, wholly or in part, to prevent or overcome. In no event shall insufficiency of funds required to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Sublease be considered to constitute force majeure; provided, however, that the COVID-19 or any other pandemic shall only be deemed a force majeure to the extent that, and for the duration of, the applicable Governmental Authority’s requirement that the Subtenant’s business be entirely ceased.

 

32.LIENS.

 

32.1Generally. Subtenant shall not have the right to encumber, by mortgage, deed of trust, or other security instrument, the Building or Subtenant’s rights under the Sublease as security for any debt or obligation of the Subtenant.

 

32.2Sublandlord’s Lien. To the extent allowed by applicable law, to secure the payment of all Rent and Subtenant’s performance of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have and Subtenant hereby grants to Sublandlord an express first and prior contract lien and security interest on all property (including furniture, inventory, equipment, goods, wares, improvements, chattels, merchandise and fixtures) of Subtenant which may be placed in the Premises, and also upon the proceeds of any insurance which may accrue to Subtenant by reason of the destruction or damage of any such property. Nothing herein grants or shall be deemed to grant Sublandlord a security interest in Subtenant’s marijuana business license.
   
  Sublandlord’s security interest in Subtenant’s marijuana inventory is subject to all suitability and application requirements of the MED. Subtenant shall not remove any such property from the Premises (except in the ordinary course of business) without the written consent of Sublandlord until all arrearages in Rent shall first have been paid. Subtenant hereby waives the benefit of all exemption laws, if any, in favor of such lien and security interest. This lien and security interest are given in addition to any applicable statutory lien and is cumulative with it. If Subtenant fails to pay any Rent or other amounts payable under this Sublease or to perform any other of its obligations under this Sublease within the time specified for its payment or performance, then Sublandlord may, with or without court proceedings, enter upon the Premises and take possession of any and all property of Subtenant on the Premises without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell such property at public or private sale, so long as ten days’ notice of the time and place of sale is given by Sublandlord to Subtenant. Sublandlord or its assigns shall have the right to become the purchaser if it is the highest bidder at such sale. Alternatively, at Sublandlord’s option, the lien and security interest hereby granted may be foreclosed in the manner and form provided in Article 9 of the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code, or in the manner and form provided for a Colorado statutory Sublandlord’s lien, or in any other form provided by law. Subtenant shall, if requested by Sublandlord, execute and deliver to Sublandlord Uniform Commercial Code financing statements evidencing the lien and security interest hereby granted in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord. If requested by Sublandlord, Subtenant shall also execute and deliver to Sublandlord Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord.

 

33.CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Sublandlord and Subtenant each covenant to the other not to disclose to any third party any Confidential Information, as defined below, provided by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Non-Disclosing Party”) without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent; provided, however, Confidential Information from a Disclosing Party may be disclosed by the Non-Disclosing Party (a) to its employees, partners, consultants, attorneys, accountants, property managers, contractors, agents and lenders who have a reasonable need for such Confidential Information, provided that such third parties agree to maintain the confidential nature of the information, and (b) in order to comply with legal requirements, provided the Disclosing Party shall provide the Non-Disclosing Party notice prior to such disclosure. “Confidential Information” includes this Sublease and any and all information whether in oral, written or other form communicated by Subtenant to Sublandlord relating to Subtenant’s proposed development of the Premises, including, but not limited to, architectural plans, specifications, site plans and drawings (regardless of whether or not such information is labeled “confidential”). The covenants provided in this Article 33 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

 

 

 

 

 21 

 

 

34.BROKER’S FEES; REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS. Each Party agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all fees, brokerage and other commissions or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, liabilities, losses, damages, or claims which may result from any broker, agent, or finder, licensed or otherwise, claiming through, under, or by reason of the conduct of either of them, respectively, in connection with the sublease of the Premises by Subtenant.

 

35.DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

 

35.1Arbitration. The Parties will endeavor in good faith to informally resolve any disputes which may arise regarding this Sublease. If the Parties cannot resolve any dispute within ten (10) days of written notice of the dispute by either Party, the Parties agree to submit such disputes, controversies, claims, and matters of difference arising under or relating in any way to this Sublease, including disputes regarding arbitrability, to binding arbitration in Denver, Colorado, before a single neutral arbitrator selected by the Parties from the Judicial Arbiter Group, Inc. (JAG). In the event the Parties cannot agree upon an arbiter, the president or managing director of JAG shall appoint an arbiter from JAG, which selection shall be final and non-appealable. This agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable. If the Parties cannot agree upon the procedure, schedule, or the date for the arbitration, the arbitrator will establish a reasonable procedure, schedule, and date for the arbitration. Arbitration may proceed in the absence of either Party if reasonable notice of the proceedings has been given to such Party. The Parties agree to abide by all awards rendered in such proceedings. Such awards, if any, will be final and binding on both Parties to the full extent and in the manner provided by Colorado Uniform Arbitration Act and the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. All awards may be filed with the clerk of one or more courts, state or federal, having jurisdiction over the Party against whom such award is rendered or such Party’s property, as a basis of judgment and of the issuance of execution for its collection. The terms and conditions of this Article 35 will not apply to a request for injunctive or other equitable relief. THE PARTIES SHALL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE ENTITLED TO INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE,EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER DAMAGES BY STATUTE, IN TORT OR CONTRACT, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY PROVISION, OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

 

35.2Costs of Arbitration. In the event either Party to this Sublease takes legal action to enforce its rights under this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the submission of an issue for arbitration pursuant to this Article 35, each Party to such action will bear its own costs and expenses related to such action, and one- half (1/2) of any common costs and expenses of arbitration.

 

36.ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If suit or arbitration is brought to enforce any terms, covenants or conditions of this Sublease, the Parties agree the substantially losing Party shall pay the substantially prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing a judgment, which shall be fixed by the court and court costs. As used herein, the term “prevailing party” shall mean the Party, which has succeeded upon a significant issue in the litigation and achieved a material benefit with respect to the claims at issue, taken as a whole.

 

37.GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

37.1Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence under this Sublease.

 

37.2Governing Law. This Sublease shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.

37.5Complete and Binding Agreement. This Sublease, together with its schedules and exhibits, merges all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and understandings between the Parties and constitutes their complete agreement. Subject to any restrictions on assignment contained within this Sublease, this Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns when executed by Sublandlord; and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Subtenant, its managers, members, agents, employees, successors and assigns, only if executed by a Manager of Subtenant, regardless of any written or verbal representation of any agent, manager or other employee of Subtenant to the contrary. This Sublease may only be amended by written agreement signed by Sublandlord and Subtenant.

 

37.6Survival. All covenants and agreements of either Party which are intended to be performed in whole or in part after the termination of this Sublease, and all representations, warranties, and indemnities by either Party to the other under this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect and survive the termination or expiration of this Sublease.

 

37.7Severability.
