Section 2.01.     Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date (as hereafter defined) and continuing for Eighty-Seven (87) months from (i) the Rent Commencement Date, if such date is the first day of a calendar month, or (ii) the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Rent Commencement Date, if such date is not the first day of a calendar month ("Term"). The Rent Commencement Date shall be the earlier of One Hundred Fifty (150) days after the Effective Date or the date when Tenant opens for business from the Leased Premises.

- 2 - 

Section 2.02.     Construction of Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall construct and install all leasehold improvements to the Leased Premises in accordance with the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit C (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”).

 

Section 2.03.     Surrender of the Leased Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately (a) surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition and in good order, condition and repair, (b) remove from the Leased Premises or where located (i) Tenant’s Property (as defined in Section 8.01 below), (ii) all data and communications equipment, wiring and cabling (including above ceiling, below raised floors and behind walls) installed by or at the request of Tenant including, without limitation, all wiring and cabling installed as part of the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) any alterations required to be removed pursuant to Section 7.03 below, and (c) repair all damage caused by any such removal and restore the Leased Premises to the condition existing upon the Effective Date, reasonable wear and tear, casualty, condemnation and damage, if any, caused by Landlord's breach of its obligations under this Lease excepted. All of Tenant’s Property that is not removed within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such property at Tenant’s cost without incurring any liability to Tenant. This Section 2.03 shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease.

 

Section 2.04.     Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Rental Installments for the Leased Premises in effect upon the date of such expiration or earlier termination, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not result in a renewal of this Lease, nor shall such acceptance create a month-to-month tenancy.

In addition to any other liabilities to Landlord arising from Tenant’s holdover, if such holdover exceeds 30 days, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such failure. This Section 2.04 shall in no way constitute a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, nor limit Landlord’s remedies in such event. 

- 3 - 

ARTICLE 3 RENT

 

Section 3.01.     Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Minimum Annual Rent in the Monthly Rental Installments, as set forth in Section 1.01(c) of this Lease, in advance, without demand, deduction or offset except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and on or before the first day of each and every calendar month thereafter during the Lease Term. The Monthly Rental Installments for partial calendar months shall be prorated.

 

Section 3.02.     Payment of Additional Rent. Any amount required to be paid by Tenant hereunder (in addition to Minimum Annual Rent) and any charges or expenses incurred by Landlord on behalf of Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall be considered “Additional Rent” payable in the same manner and upon the same terms and conditions as the Minimum Annual Rent reserved hereunder, except as set forth herein to the contrary. Any failure on the part of Tenant to pay such Additional Rent when and as the same shall become due shall entitle Landlord to the remedies available to it for non-payment of Minimum Annual Rent.

 

Section 3.03.     Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall incur certain additional unanticipated administrative and legal costs and expenses if Tenant fails to pay timely any payment required hereunder. Therefore, in addition to the other remedies available to Landlord hereunder, if any payment required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall become overdue, such unpaid amount shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at the prime rate of interest, as reported in the Wall Street Journal (the “Prime Rate”) plus three percent (3%) per annum; provided, however, Landlord shall waive such default interest on the first (1st) occasion during any twelve (12) month period in which Tenant does not timely make such payment, provided that Tenant makes such payment within five (5) days after the date Tenant receives notice that such amount is past due.

 

Section 3.04.     Guaranty. As security for Tenant’s full and faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease, the Guarantor shall execute and deliver the Guaranty to Landlord substantially in the form attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit E.

 

ARTICLE 4 SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

Upon execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit with Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all of Tenant’s obligations contained in this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant not cured within the applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure all or any part of such default; provided, however, that any such application by Landlord shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies by Landlord or considered or deemed to be liquidated damages. Tenant agrees promptly, upon demand, to deposit such additional sum with Landlord as may be required to maintain the full amount of the Security Deposit. All sums held by Landlord pursuant to this Article 4 shall be without interest and may be commingled by Landlord. At the end of the Lease Term, provided that there is then no uncured default or any repairs required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 2.03 above or Section 7.03 below, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant. 

- 4 - 

ARTICLE 5 OCCUPANCY AND USE

 

Section 5.01.     Use. Tenant shall use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose or use whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

Section 5.02.      Covenants of Tenant Regarding Use.

 

(a)         Tenant shall (i) use and maintain the Leased Premises and conduct its business thereon in a safe, careful, reputable and lawful manner, (ii) comply with all covenants that encumber the Building (provided Landlord has provided copies of such covenants to Tenant) and all laws, rules, regulations, orders, ordinances, directions and requirements of any governmental authority or agency (collectively, “Laws”), now in force or which may hereafter be in force, including, without limitation, those which shall impose upon Landlord or Tenant any duty with respect to or triggered by a change in the use or occupation of, or any improvement or alteration to, the Leased Premises, and (iii) comply with and obey all directions, rules and regulations of Landlord, including the Building Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D and made a part hereof, as may be modified from time to time by Landlord; provided however, Tenant shall not be obligated to make structural modifications to the Leased Premises to comply with Laws unless the same is required as a result of (A) Tenant’s particular and specific use of the Leased Premises (as opposed to use for general office purposes) or (B) any improvement or alteration made by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall apply and enforce such rules and regulations in a non-discriminatory manner among all tenants of the Building. In the event of any conflict between the rules and regulations and the other provisions of this Lease, this Lease shall control.

 

(b)         Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises that will in any way cause a nuisance, obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or injure or annoy them. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-performance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of Landlord’s directions, rules or regulations but agrees that any enforcement thereof shall be done uniformly. Tenant shall not use the Leased Premises, nor allow the Leased Premises to be used, for any purpose or in any manner that would (i) invalidate any policy of insurance now or hereafter carried by Landlord on the Building, or (ii) increase the rate of premiums payable on any such insurance policy unless Tenant reimburses Landlord, on demand, for any increase in premium charged.

 

Section 5.03.     Landlord’s Rights Regarding Use. Without limiting any of Landlord’s rights specified elsewhere in this Lease, (a) Landlord shall have the right, at any time, without notice to Tenant, to control, change or otherwise alter the Common Areas in such manner as it deems necessary or proper but without materially adversely affecting Tenant's permitted use of the Leased Premises, including access to the Leased Premises; and (b) Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors and any mortgagee of the Building shall have the right to enter any part of the Leased Premises (except that if required to comply with applicable laws or regulations Tenant shall have the right to designate certain portions of the Leased Premises as secured and not subject to such access unless Landlord’s agents, employees, or contractors are accompanied by an authorized representative of Tenant) at reasonable times upon reasonable notice (except in the event of an emergency where no notice shall be required) for the purposes of examining or inspecting the same (including, without limitation, testing to confirm Tenant’s compliance with this Lease), showing the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants (but only in the final 12 month of the Term with respect to tenants), and making such repairs, alterations or improvements to the Leased Premises or the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. Landlord shall incur no liability to Tenant for such entry, nor shall such entry constitute an eviction of Tenant or a termination of this Lease, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent therefor; provided, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse impact on the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord acknowledges and agrees to provide Tenant with prior written notice prior to making any change to the Common Areas resulting in a material reduction in the size of or Tenant’s access to the Common Areas.

ARTICLE 6 UTILITIES AND OTHER BUILDING SERVICES

 

Section 6.01.     Services to be Provided. Provided Tenant is not in default, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, except as noted below, the following utilities and other services to the extent reasonably necessary for Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises for the Permitted Use, or as may be required by law or directed by governmental authority:

 

(a)         Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday of each week, except on legal holidays, as shall in Landlord’s judgment be required for the comfortable occupancy and use of the Leased Premises;

(c)         Water in the Common Areas for lavatory and drinking purposes;

 

(d)         Cleaning and janitorial service in the Common Areas and Leased Premises (not including the removal of Hazardous Materials, which shall be the responsibility and expense of Tenant) in a manner equivalent to other Class A office space in Hamilton County, Indiana;

(f)          Replacement of all lamps, bulbs, starters and ballasts in Building standard lighting as required from time to time as a result of normal usage; and

Section 6.02.      Additional Services.

 

(a)         If Tenant requests utilities or building services in addition to those identified above, then Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to furnish Tenant with such additional utilities or services. In the event Landlord is able to and does furnish such additional utilities or services, the costs thereof (which shall be deemed to mean the cost that Tenant would have incurred had Tenant contracted directly with the utility company or service provider) shall be borne by Tenant, who shall reimburse Landlord monthly for the same as Additional Rent. So long as Tenant provides Landlord with not less than 24 hours prior written notice, Tenant may arrange for afterhours HVAC service at an additional charge as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time. The current charge for afterhours HVAC services is $65.00 per hour. In the event that Tenant requests utilities or building services in addition to those identified above, Landlord shall also have the right to submeter or separately meter the Leased Premises at Tenant’s sole cost, and Tenant shall pay such utilities based on the submeter or separate meter. 

- 6 - 

(b)         If any lights, density of staff, machines or equipment used by Tenant in the Leased Premises generate substantially more heat in the Leased Premises than that which would normally be generated by other tenants in the Building or by tenants in comparable office buildings, then upon notice to Tenant and an opportunity to remedy such excess heat generation, Landlord shall have the right to install any machinery or equipment that Landlord considers reasonably necessary in order to restore the temperature balance between the Leased Premises and the rest of the Building, including, without limitation, equipment that modifies the Building’s air-conditioning system. All reasonable costs expended by Landlord to install any such machinery and equipment and any additional costs of operation and maintenance in connection therewith shall be borne by Tenant, who shall reimburse Landlord for the same as provided in this Section 6.02.

 

(c)         Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the conference rooms located on the first floor of the Building (“Conference Room”), or such other location in the Building as may be determined by Landlord from time to time, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as may be implemented by Landlord, and provided that Tenant leaves the conference rooms in a clean and sightly condition, free of debris, after each such use. Such use shall be on a “first come, first served” non-exclusive basis and must be scheduled with the property manager prior to Tenant’s use, provided that any such scheduling more than forty-five (45) days in advance shall be subject to the existing preferential rights granted to Crew Carwash, Inc. Tenant shall not place, use or install any furniture, property or equipment in the conference rooms which is not removed immediately after each use, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

Section 6.03.      Interruption of Services. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any one or more of the utilities or other services identified in Sections 6.01 or 6.02 or otherwise hereunder may be interrupted by reason of accident, emergency or other causes beyond Landlord’s control, or may be discontinued or diminished temporarily by Landlord or other persons until certain repairs, alterations or improvements can be made. Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility or service and no such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or withhold sums due hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained preceding herein, however, Landlord agrees that if any service to the Leased Premises is interrupted, curtailed or ceases due to Landlord's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease with the result that Tenant’s ability to conduct business in the Leased Premises is materially adversely affected for more than forty-eight (48) consecutive hours, then Base Rent and all Additional Rent shall abate for the period from the date on which such service ceased until the date on which the same is restored.

 

ARTICLE 7 REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS

 

Section 7.01.      Repair and Maintenance of Building. Landlord shall make all necessary repairs and replacements to the HVAC system generally serving the Building, the plumbing systems generally serving the Building, and all structural components of the Building, including the roof, roof drainage systems, foundation, exterior walls, exterior doors, windows and parking areas, corridors and other Common Areas, and Landlord shall keep the Building and Common Areas in a clean and neat condition and keep all equipment used in common with other tenants in operating condition and a condition comparable to other first-class buildings in the metropolitan area in which the Building is located; provided, however, to the extent any such repairs, replacements or maintenance are required because of the negligence, misuse or default of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, customers or invitees, Landlord shall make such repairs at Tenant’s sole expense. 

- 7 - 

Section 7.02.      Repair and Maintenance of Leased Premises. Tenant shall keep and maintain the Leased Premises in good condition and repair, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any repair or replacement with respect to (i) Tenant’s Property (as defined in Section 8.01 below) located in the Leased Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, and (ii) insuring that the interior of the Leased Premises complies with the accessibility standards promulgated under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the Common Areas of the Building and Leased Premises meet local and state rules and regulations regarding the ADA as of the Effective Date of this Lease. Any costs associated with ADA compliance for the Building and Common Areas will be Landlord's sole expense and not passed on to Tenant at any time during the Term, but only to the extent such costs are a direct result of Landlord’s breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. Any costs associated with ADA compliance for the Leased Premises resulting from an alteration of the Leased Premises made by Tenant or as a result of Tenant’s specific use of the Leased Premises shall be Tenant’s sole expense. Nothing in this Article 7 shall obligate Tenant to repair normal wear and tear to any paint, wall covering or carpet in the Leased Premises.

 

Section 7.03.     Alterations. Except as permitted pursuant to the Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall not make or permit any alterations, improvements or other changes in or to the Leased Premises unless and until Landlord has approved the plans for the same in writing. As a condition of such approval, Landlord may require Tenant to remove the alterations and restore the Leased Premises upon termination of this Lease; otherwise, all such alterations shall become a part of the realty and the property of Landlord, and shall not be removed by Tenant. Tenant shall ensure that all alterations shall be made in accordance with all Laws, in a good and workmanlike manner and of quality equal to or better than the original construction of the Building as approved by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right, along with any architects or other consultants to inspect any completed alterations, and, if such alterations are not in compliance with said laws and regulations. Tenant's obligations under this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

After the installation of the Tenant Improvements under the Work Letter, Tenant may make such interior non-structural alterations, improvements and additions to the Leased Premises including, without limitation, changing color schemes, installing new countertops, flooring, wall-covering and modifying the layout of the tenant fixtures, as Tenant deems necessary or desirable without obtaining Landlord’s consent; provided that (a) the cost of such alterations does not exceed Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) in the aggregate per alteration or series of alterations, (b) such alterations do not adversely affect the Building systems and are completed in a good and workmanlike manner, (c) such alterations do not trigger any requirement under applicable Laws that would require Landlord to make any alteration or improvement to the Leased Premises or the Building, and (d) such alterations shall be completed by a contractor duly licensed in the county and state of the construction site. Whenever and so long as any construction work or alteration work by Tenant is in progress at or on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall procure builder’s risk insurance on a completed value form and all-risk basis with a replacement cost provision. 

- 8 - 

Section 7.04.     Liens. Tenant shall not suffer or give cause for the filing of any lien against the Leased Premises. In the event any lien is filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof for work claimed to have been done for, or material claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant, Tenant shall cause such lien to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after filing or, alternatively, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord (or any other entity designated by Landlord) within such 30-day period a bond or other assurances acceptable to Landlord that such claimed indebtedness as finally determined will be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and save Landlord harmless from all costs, losses, expenses and attorney's fees suffered or incurred by Landlord including in connection with the filing or enforcement of any such lien including any damages suffered by Landlord in connection with the mortgage. In addition to any other remedy herein granted, upon failure of Tenant to discharge such lien or to post a bond indemnifying Landlord against foreclosure of any such lien as above provided, Landlord, after notice to Tenant, may discharge such lien, and all expenditures and costs incurred thereby, with interest thereon, shall be payable as further rental hereunder at the next rental payment date.

- 11 - 

(b)          Property Insurance. Special Form Insurance in the amount of the full replacement cost of the Building, including, without limitation, any improvements, if any, made pursuant to Section 2.02 above, but excluding Tenant’s Property and any other items required to be insured by Tenant pursuant to Section 8.04 above.

 

Section 8.07.     Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord (and its affiliates, property managers and mortgagees) and Tenant (and its affiliates) hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on account of any loss of or damage to their respective property, the Leased Premises, its contents, or other portions of the Building or Common Areas arising from any risk which is required to be insured against by Sections 8.05(a)(ii), Section 8.05(a)(iii) and 8.06(b) above. The special form property insurance policies and Worker’s Compensation insurance policies maintained by Landlord and Tenant as provided in this Lease shall include an endorsement containing an express waiver of any rights of subrogation by the insurance company against Landlord and Tenant, as applicable.

 

ARTICLE 9 CASUALTY

 

In the event of total or partial destruction of the Building or the Leased Premises by fire or other casualty, Landlord agrees promptly to restore and repair same; provided, however, Landlord’s obligation hereunder with respect to the Leased Premises shall be limited to the reconstruction of structural components of the Building and common Building systems. Rent shall proportionately abate during the time that the Leased Premises or part thereof are unusable because of any such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Leased Premises are (a) so destroyed that they cannot be repaired or rebuilt within one hundred eighty (180) days from the casualty date; or (b) destroyed by a casualty that is not covered by the insurance required hereunder or, if covered, such insurance proceeds are not released by any mortgagee entitled thereto or are insufficient to rebuild the Building and the Leased Premises; then, in case of a clause (a) casualty, either Landlord or Tenant may, or, in the case of a clause (b) casualty, then Landlord may, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party, terminate this Lease with respect to matters thereafter accruing. Tenant waives any right under applicable laws inconsistent with the terms of this paragraph.

 

ARTICLE 10 EMINENT DOMAIN

 

If all or any substantial part of the Building or Common Areas shall be acquired by the exercise of eminent domain, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant on or before the date possession thereof is so taken. If all or any part of the Leased Premises shall be acquired by the exercise of eminent domain so that the Leased Premises shall become impractical for Tenant to use for the Permitted Use, or in the event that a taking of all or a portion of the Building or Common Areas has a material adverse effect upon the means of access to the Leased Premises or the parking spaces available to Tenant, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord as of the date possession thereof is so taken. All damages awarded shall belong to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant may claim dislocation damages, including damages to Tenant's Property, if such amount is not subtracted from Landlord’s award. 

- 12 - 

ARTICLE 11 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE

 

Section 11.01.    Assignment and Sublease.

 

(a)          Other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises in whole or in part without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable hereunder. The acceptance of rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or to be a consent to the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of the Leased Premises. Any assignment or sublease consented to by Landlord shall not relieve Tenant (or its assignee) from obtaining Landlord’s consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease.

 

(b)         By way of example and not limitation, Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld consent to a proposed assignment or sublease if in Landlord’s opinion (i) the Leased Premises are or may be in any way materially adversely affected; (ii) the business reputation or use of the proposed assignee or subtenant is unacceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion; (iii) the financial worth of the proposed assignee or subtenant is reasonably believed to be insufficient to meet the obligations hereunder; (iv) the prospective assignee or subtenant is a current tenant at the Building or is a bona-fide third-party prospective tenant and Landlord has available space for such prospective, or (v) the use of the transferee is illegal or may violate any use protections or restrictions granted for the benefit of other tenants in the Building.

 

(c)          Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket accounting fees, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses incurred by Landlord’s lender and chargeable to Landlord, in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any requested assignment, subletting or any other hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant’s interest in and to the Leased Premises as consideration for Landlord’s consent, not to exceed, however, Two Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($2,500.00).

 

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, without Landlord’s written consent but upon prior written notice to Landlord, in connection with a Permitted Transfer (as hereinafter defined), subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided that the tenant or subtenant under a Permitted Transfer assumes in written form and substance satisfactory to Landlord all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and the original entity executing this Lease as “Tenant” remains fully liable under this Lease. As used herein, “Permitted Transfer” means (i) an assignment to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant or any business entity which has purchased all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or ownership interests, and (ii) a sublease of the Leased Premises to a subtenant and for a use approved by Landlord, so long as such subtenant is (1) occupying less than fifty permitted (50%) of the Leased Premises, or (2) occupying more than fifty percent (50%) for less than fifty percent (50%) of the time. As used herein, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management, policies, or activities of a person or entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring entity shall expressly assume in writing the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Additionally, the tenant or subtenant, as applicable, under a Permitted Transfer shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Permitted Use. No later than ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with (A) copies of the instrument effecting any of the foregoing transfers, (B) documentation establishing Tenant’s satisfaction of the requirements set forth above applicable to any such transfer, and (C) evidence of insurance as required under this Lease with respect to the such proposed tenant or subtenant under the Permitted Transfer. The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph is intended to or shall permit Tenant to transfer its interest under this Lease as part of a fraud or subterfuge to intentionally avoid its obligations under this Lease (for example, transferring its interest to a shell corporation that subsequently files for bankruptcy protection) and such transfer shall be void.

ARTICLE 12 TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD

 

Section 12.01.   Sale of the Building. Landlord shall have the right to sell the Building at any time during the Lease Term, subject only to the rights of Tenant hereunder; and such sale shall operate to release Landlord from liability hereunder after the date of such conveyance.

 

Section 12.02.   Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days following receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, without cost to Landlord, an estoppel certificate in such form as Landlord may reasonably request certifying (a) that this Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified or stating the nature of any modification, (b) the date to which rent has been paid, (c) that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (d) any other matters or state of facts reasonably required respecting the Lease. Tenant shall be estopped from asserting any facts contrary to those set forth in any estoppel certificate signed by Tenant.

 

Section 12.03.   Subordination. This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any present or future mortgage or deed of trust encumbering fee title to the Leased Premises. If any such mortgage or deed of trust be foreclosed, upon request of the mortgagee or beneficiary (“Landlord’s Mortgagee”), as the case may be, Tenant will attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale. The foregoing provisions are declared to be self-operative and no further instruments shall be required to effect such subordination and/or attornment. Within ten (10) days following receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, without cost, any instrument that Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm the subordination of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 13 DEFAULT AND REMEDY

 

Section 13.01.    Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall be a “Default”:

 

(a)          Tenant fails to pay any Monthly Rental Installments or Additional Rent when due and fails to cure such default with ten (10) days after notice from Landlord of such delinquency.

 

(b)          Tenant fails to perform or observe any other term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required to cure, then such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Tenant commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently completes the required action within a reasonable time. 

- 14 - 

(c)          [intentionally omitted]

 

(d)          Tenant shall assign or sublet all or a portion of the Leased Premises in contravention of the provisions of Article 11 of this Lease.

 

(e)          All or substantially all of Tenant’s assets in the Leased Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease are attached or levied under execution (and Tenant does not discharge the same within sixty (60) days thereafter); a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement is filed by or against Tenant (and Tenant fails to secure a stay or discharge thereof within sixty (60) days thereafter); Tenant is insolvent and unable to pay its debts as they become due; Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; Tenant takes the benefit of any insolvency action or law; the appointment of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy for Tenant or its assets if such receivership has not been vacated or set aside within thirty (30) days thereafter; or, dissolution or other termination of Tenant’s corporate charter if Tenant is a corporation.

 

In addition to the defaults described above, the parties agree that if Tenant receives written notice of a violation of the performance of the same term or condition of this Lease, including the payment of any Monthly Rental Installment or Additional Rent, two (2) or more times during any twelve (12) month period, regardless of whether such violations are ultimately cured, then such conduct shall, at Landlord’s option, represent a separate Default.

 

Section 13.02.    Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those stated elsewhere in this Lease and those allowed by law or in equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to Tenant:

 

(a)          Landlord may re-enter with due process of Law the Leased Premises and cure any Default of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for any costs and expenses that Landlord thereby incurs; and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that Tenant may sustain by reason of Landlord’s action.

 

(b)          Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice of termination and all rights of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Leased Premises shall terminate. Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Lease arising up to the date of such termination, and Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord on the date specified in such notice. Furthermore, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the unamortized balance of any leasehold improvement allowance and brokerage fees paid in connection with this Lease.

 

(c)          Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises by giving Tenant notice of termination, and thereafter, neither Tenant nor any person claiming under or through Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Leased Premises. In such event, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other occupants of the Leased Premises by any lawful means and may remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have. Upon termination of possession, Landlord may re-let all or any part thereof as the agent of Tenant for a term different from that which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and for rent and on terms and conditions different from those contained herein, whereupon Tenant shall be immediately obligated to pay to Landlord an amount equal to (i) the difference between the rent provided for herein and that provided for in any lease covering a subsequent re-letting of the Leased Premises, for the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term had this Lease not been terminated (said period being referred to herein as the “Remaining Term”), (ii) the costs of recovering possession of the Leased Premises and all other expenses, loss or damage incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s Default (“Default Damages”), which shall include, without limitation, expenses of preparing the Leased Premises for re-letting, demolition, repairs, tenant finish improvements, brokers’ commissions and attorneys’ fees, and (iii) all unpaid Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent that accrued prior to the date of termination of possession, plus any interest and late fees due hereunder (the “Prior Obligations”). Neither the filing of any dispossessory proceeding nor an eviction of personalty in the Leased Premises shall be deemed to terminate the Lease. 

- 15 - 

(d)          Landlord may terminate this Lease and recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, an amount which, at the date of such termination is equal to the sum of the following: (i) the value of the excess, if any, discounted at the prime rate of interest (as reported in the Wall Street Journal), of (A) the Minimum Annual Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums that would have been payable hereunder by Tenant for the Remaining Term, less (B) the aggregate reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the Remaining Term, as determined by a real estate broker licensed in the State of Indiana who has at least ten (10) years of experience, (ii) all of Landlord’s Default Damages, and (iii) all Prior Obligations. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the payment of the amount set forth in clause (i) above shall not be deemed a penalty, but shall merely constitute payment of liquidated damages, it being understood that actual damages to Landlord are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. It is expressly agreed and understood that all of Tenant’s liabilities and obligations set forth in this subsection (d) shall survive termination.

 

(e)          With or without terminating this Lease, declare immediately due and payable the sum of the following: (i) the present value (discounted at the prime rate of interest, as reported in the Wall Street Journal), of all Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent due and coming due under this Lease for the entire Remaining Term (as if by the terms of this Lease they were payable in advance), (ii) all Default Damages, and (iii) all Prior Obligations, whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to pay the same to Landlord; provided, however, that such payment shall not be deemed a penalty or liquidated damages, but shall merely constitute payment in advance of all Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder throughout the Remaining Term, and provided further, however, that upon Landlord receiving such payment, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord all rents received by Landlord from other assignees, tenant and subtenants on account of said Leased Premises during the Remaining Term (but only to the extent that the monies to which Tenant shall so become entitled do not exceed the entire amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this subsection (e)), less all Default Damages of Landlord incurred but not yet reimbursed by Tenant.

 

(f)           Landlord may sue for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss resulting from the Default. 

- 16 - 

(g)          Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.

 

Section 13.03.    Landlord’s Default and Tenant’s Remedies. Landlord shall be in default if it fails to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is such that it cannot reasonably be performed within thirty (30) days, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such performance within said thirty-day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Tenant may sue for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss directly resulting from the breach, but Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or withhold, offset or abate any sums due hereunder. In no event, however, shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential or punitive damages.

 

Section 13.04.    Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. If Landlord shall fail to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease and if Tenant shall, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Landlord, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Building and the proceeds thereof for the collection of such judgment; and Tenant further agrees that no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s judgment.

 

Section 13.05.    Nonwaiver of Defaults. Neither party’s failure or delay in exercising any of its rights or remedies or other provisions of this Lease shall constitute a waiver thereof or affect its right thereafter to exercise or enforce such right or remedy or other provision. No waiver of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other default. Landlord’s receipt of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Leased Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

 

Section 13.06.   Attorneys’ Fees. If either party defaults in the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or obligations contained in this Lease and the non-defaulting party obtains a judgment against the defaulting party, then the defaulting party agrees to reimburse the non-defaulting party for reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith. In addition, if a monetary Default shall occur and Landlord engages outside counsel to exercise its remedies hereunder, and then Tenant cures such monetary Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, all expenses incurred by Landlord as a result thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses actually incurred.

Section 15.16.    Option to Renew.

 

(a)          Tenant shall have an option to renew this Lease for one additional period of five (5) years immediately following the expiration of the initial term, provided that Tenant is not in Default under this Lease. The extension shall be upon the same terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, except that there shall be no further renewal options unless expressly granted in writing by Landlord, and the annual base rent for the renewal period shall be based upon the then-prevailing fair market rental value of the Leased Premises (“FMRV”). Tenant shall exercise this option by written notice to Landlord no later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial term of this Lease.

 

(b)          If Tenant exercises its renewal option as herein provided, Landlord shall make the initial determination of the FMRV. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (the "FMR Notice") of Landlord's determination of the FMRV within days thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant's renewal notice. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within ten (10) days of its receipt of Landlord's FMR Notice whether or not it accepts Landlord's determination of FMRV. If Tenant accepts Landlord's determination, the FMRV shall be final and binding and Landlord shall prepare an amendment to the Lease that amends the base rent to reflect the new FMRV. Tenant's failure to respond to Landlord's FMR Notice within the ten (10) day period shall be deemed a rejection by Tenant of Landlord's determination of FMRV. If Tenant delivers written notice ("Tenant's Rejection Notice") to Landlord within the ten (10) day period rejecting Landlord's determination of FMRV or if Tenant is deemed to have rejected Landlord's determination of FMRV, the parties agree to negotiate their differences in good faith within thirty (30) days (the "FMR Negotiation Period") following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Rejection Notice or following the effective date of such deemed rejection. If the parties fail to agree on FMRV within the FMR Negotiation Period, then the parties agree to obtain an appraisal to determine the FMRV in accordance with the terms and conditions contained below.

 

(c)          If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the terms of the renewal proposal within the time periods set forth in section 15.16(b), the FMRV appraisal process as described below shall be used to determine Minimum Annual Rent. Minimum Annual Rent for any such extended period shall be the annual FMRV of the Leased Premises as determined by two (2) appraisers, one selected by Tenant and one selected by Landlord as of the date which is not more than ten (10) days following the expiration of the FMR Negotiation Period.

The third appraiser so selected shall determine which of the two appraisers’ determination is closer to FMRV within ten (10) days of appointment and the appraisal closer to the third appraiser’s determination of FMRV shall be deemed to be FMRV.

Section 15.19.   Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Monthly Rental Installments or Minimum Annual Rent, as applicable, including Additional Rent and all other sums and charges due under this Lease, shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent remaining due and owing; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

 

Section 15.20.   No Option. The submission of this Lease for examination by Tenant shall not constitute a reservation of or option for the Leased Premises. This Lease shall become effective as a Lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.

(a)          So long as the Lease is in full force and effect, and so long as Tenant is not in default in the performance of its obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable notice, grace, or cure period at the time of exercise of the right set forth herein, if Landlord receives from a third party an acceptable bona fide offer to lease all or a portion of the remaining space located on the north side of the second floor of the Building (the “Expansion Space”), Landlord shall notify Tenant of such availability in writing, in accordance with the notices provision of this Lease, and Tenant shall have a right of first refusal to lease the same (the “Right of First Refusal”).

THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE (“Guaranty”) is made and entered into this 22 day of April, 2022, by Telix Pharmacueticals Limited (“Guarantor”) to and for the benefit of CREW HQ, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“Landlord”), under the following circumstances:

 

A.          Landlord and Telix Pharmaceuticals (US), Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), are about to execute that certain Office Lease (the “Lease”) with respect to the real estate and improvements located at 11700 Exit Five Parkway, Suite ___, Fishers, Indiana, pursuant to which Landlord will lease approximately Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Eight (12,348) rentable square feet to Tenant.

1.            The Guarantor, as primary obligor, hereby (1) unconditionally guarantees the prompt, punctual and full payment of the rentals of the Lease in accordance with the terms and tenor thereof as completely and effectually as if such guarantee had been made by Guarantor on the face of the Lease; (2) unconditionally guarantees the prompt, punctual and full performance by Tenant of any and all of the agreements, covenants, terms and conditions agreed to be performed by Tenant under the provisions of the Lease; and (3) covenants and agrees that in the event of default in payments or any default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions thereof, the Guarantor will promptly make or cause such payment to be made or will perform or cause to be performed all such terms, covenants and conditions, irrespective of any invalidity therein, the unenforceability thereof or the insufficiency, invalidity or unenforceability of any security therefor.

 

2.            The Guarantor does hereby further agree that Guarantor’s liability hereunder as Guarantor shall not be prejudiced, impaired or affected by (1) any renewal or extension which may be made (with or without its knowledge or consent) of the time of payment of the rentals of the Lease or of the time for performance by any party obligated thereto of any of the terms and provisions of the Lease, or (2) by any forbearance or delay in enforcing the payment of the rentals of the Lease or enforcing the obligations of any party or person to the Lease in accordance with the terms thereof, or (3) any bankruptcy of Tenant, or (4) by any modification of the terms, tenor or provisions of the Lease. 

Exhibit E-1 

3.            This Guaranty is and shall be construed to be an irrevocable, absolute, unlimited and continuing guaranty of payment and performance, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or discharged, in whole or in part, by reason of an extension or discharge that may be granted to the Tenant by any Court in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, or any amendments thereof, or under any State or other Federal Statutes.

The undersigned hereby voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of any court in the State of Indiana having jurisdiction over the subject matter of this instrument, and hereby constitutes the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana as its agent for service of process in connection with any suit or proceeding arising hereunder. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

8.            Failure of the Landlord or its assigns to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any one or more of the provisions of this Guaranty or to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provisions or the relinquishment of any such rights, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect.
