2. PREMISES AND TERM

2.01 LEASE OF PREMISES

Pursuant to this Deed of Lease (the “Lease”), Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the premises (“Premises”) shown on Exhibit A which are or will be contained in the office building (“Building”) located at the address stated in Section 1.01A, which Building is part of an office building complex known as the name given in Section 1.01A, upon the following terms and conditions. For purposes of this Lease, “Complex” shall mean all land, building and improvements including the “Common Areas” (hereinafter defined) associated with the Building and located on the real property described in Exhibit A-1. The Rentable Area of the Premises is as shown on Exhibit A and contains the Rentable Area as stated in Section 1.01J.

2.02 TERM

The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall commence on the date (“Commencement Date”) which is the earlier to occur of the (i) date stated in Section 1.01F, or (ii) the date Tenant first occupies all or part of the Premises for any purpose. The Term shall expire on the date (“Expiration Date”) provided in Section 1.01G, unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided in this Lease.

Extension Options

For purposes of this Lease, the initial Term of this Lease expiring on December 31, 2013 is referenced herein as the “Initial Term.” Tenant shall have two (2) options (the “Extension Options”) to extend the Initial Term and Expiration Date, each Extension Option to be for a three (3) year period (each such period an “Extension Period”). Each Extension Option is conditioned upon (i) proper exercise of the applicable Extension Option, and of the prior Extension Option for Tenant to have the right to exercise the Extension Option for the second Extension Period, and (ii) no event of default in respect of Tenant, as defined in Section 12.01, has occurred and is continuing at the time of the notice from Tenant exercising the Extension Option or at the commencement date of the Extension Period under such Extension Option. If Tenant desires to exercise an Extension Option, it must do so by written notice to Landlord on or before the date six (6) months prior to the commencement date of the Extension Period under such Extension Option, time being of the essence. The Extension Options shall terminate if an Extension Option is not timely exercised by Tenant by notice as provided in this Lease.

If Tenant timely exercises an Extension Option as provided above, the Term and Expiration Date shall be extended for the Extension Period under such Extension Option, such Extension Period to commence upon expiration of the Initial Term (for the first Extension Period) or the prior Extension Period (for the second Extension Period). Any and all such Extension Periods shall be on the same provisions as are set forth herein, with Tenant continuing to lease the Premises in its “As Is” condition during the Extension Periods, except that Base Rent shall be established as set forth below. All references to the “Term” of this Lease shall, unless the context shall clearly indicate a different meaning, be deemed to include a reference to the Initial Term and any Extension Periods as provided above.

Base Rent at the commencement of each Extension Period shall be the greater of (i) ninety five percent (95.0%) of the then existing Fair Market Rental for the Premises, or (ii) the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Extension Period. The Base Rent in effect immediately

 

4


prior to the commencement of the Extension Period is referenced herein as the “Minimum Initial Extension Base Rent”. “Fair Market Rental” shall mean the rent that a willing, comparable tenant would pay, and a willing, comparable landlord would accept, for similar size space in a comparable high rise office building in the downtown Richmond, Virginia high rise office building market, at arm’s length.

Fair Market Rental shall be determined as follows: upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of exercise of an Extension Option, the parties shall attempt to agree on the Fair Market Rental, but if the parties cannot agree on the Fair Market Rental within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written exercise of the Extension Option, then within ten (10) days after the expiration of said fifteen (15)-day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an appraiser and the two appraisers so appointed shall attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rental. If within twenty (20) days after the date of appointment of the last appraiser appointed hereunder the two appraisers cannot agree upon the Fair Market Rental, then within five (5) days after the expiration of such twenty (20)-day period both appraisers shall submit their written opinion of Fair Market Rental to Landlord and Tenant, and the two appraisers shall then select a third appraiser and send to the third appraiser copies of both written opinions of Fair Market Rental. The third appraiser shall submit his written opinion of Fair Market Rental to both Landlord and Tenant within twenty (20) days following his appointment. If the Fair Market Rental as set by the third appraiser is an amount between the Fair Market Rental as set by the two other appraisers, then his opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If the Fair Market Rental as set by the third appraiser is lower than the lower Fair Market Rental as set by the other two appraisers, or higher than the higher Fair Market Rental as set by the other two appraisers, then the Fair Market Rental as set by the third appraiser shall be disregarded totally, and the Fair Market Rental shall be the amount computed by averaging the Fair Market Rental as set by the first two appraisers. If the two appraisers fail to agree upon the third appraiser within five (5) days after the expiration of the twenty (20)-day period they have to agree upon Fair Market Rental, then the third appraiser shall be selected by the highest ranking officer of the American Arbitration Association’s office in Richmond, Virginia (or the nearest office if there is no office in Richmond). All appraisals shall be expressed as a rental per square foot. Each appraiser shall have an M.A.I. and/or S.R.P.A. designation, be licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia (if Virginia licenses appraisers), be disinterested and be experienced with the appraisal of office rental property in the downtown Richmond, Virginia area. Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it, and the parties shall equally share the fees and expenses of the third appraiser. If the appraisal process set forth above has not been completed as of the commencement date of an Extension Period, then the initial Base Rent payable during the Extension Period shall be the Minimum Initial Extension Base Rent. If and when a higher rate of Base Rent is established by the appraisal process set forth above, such higher rate (i.e., ninety five percent (95.0%) of the Fair Market Rental) shall be given effect retroactively to the commencement date of the Extension Period, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord, the additional Base Rent that would have been paid by Tenant had Tenant paid Base Rent at the rate set by the appraisal process from the commencement date of the Extension Period.

Within each Extension Period, effective as of each anniversary of the commencement date of the Extension Period, Base Rent shall be increased by three percent (3.0%) over the Base Rent in effect for the preceding year. Throughout each Extension Period, Tenant shall continue to pay Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Costs.

Expansion Option

If (i) no event of default in respect of Tenant, as defined in Section 12.01, has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Tenant has exercised its first Extension Option, and (iii) space is available for lease in the Building (Tenant expressly acknowledging that all rights of Tenant to expand the Premises are subject and subordinate to the prior expansion rights of McGuireWoods, LLP and Davenport & Company LLC,

 

5


and their successors or assigns), Tenant shall have the right (the “Expansion Option”) to expand the Premises by adding thereto up to 8,000 rentable square feet of space (subject to adjustment to the extent permitted below) located in the Building (location to be determined by Landlord based on location of available of space) (the “Expansion Space”). Upon written request by Tenant (which request must be made not more than twelve (12) months nor less than six (6) months prior to the commencement date of the first Extension Period, time being of the essence), Landlord shall give written notice (the “Expansion Notice”) to Tenant stating (i) whether the conditions to the Expansion Option set forth above (other than exercise of the first Extension Option) have been satisfied, and (ii) if so, the location and dimensions of the Expansion Space, as increased or decreased by up to 1,000 rentable square feet, as hereinafter contemplated. If the Expansion Notice states that the conditions to the Expansion Option (other than exercise of the first Extension Option) have been satisfied, and Tenant desires to exercise the Expansion Option, it must do so by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (A) Tenant receiving the Expansion Notice specifying the location and dimensions of the Expansion Space, as so increased or decreased, or (B) Tenant giving notice of exercise of the first Extension Option, time being of the essence. If Tenant requests that Landlord provide an Expansion Notice as provided above, Tenant’s request shall state the rentable square footage of Expansion Space that Tenant desires to lease, which may not exceed 8,000 rentable square feet. If Tenant exercises the Expansion Option as provided above, such Expansion Space shall be leased to Tenant as of the first day of the first Extension Period under the terms of the Lease applicable to the original Premises, except that the Expansion Space shall be leased to Tenant in its “AS IS” condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation to improve or pay any allowance for improving the Expansion Space. In addition, Landlord may increase or decrease the size of the Expansion Space requested by Tenant by up to 1,000 rentable square feet, and such proposed increase shall be reflected in the Expansion Notice. As an example, if Tenant requests that the Expansion Space contain 8,000 rentable square feet, it is the intent of the parties that the Expansion Space, as depicted in the Expansion Notice, will contain not fewer than 7,000 rentable square feet and not more than 9,000 rentable square feet. Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall at all times be at the same rate per rentable square foot applicable to the original Premises (giving effect to all increases in such rate of Base Rent as provided in this Lease). For the first Extension Period, Base Rent for the original Premises established at set forth above shall be further increased to reflect Base Rent for the Expansion Space at the same rate per rentable square foot applicable to the original Premises (giving effect to all increases in such rate of Base Rent as provided in this Lease). For the second Extension Period, if the second Extension Option is exercised by Tenant, Base Rent shall be established for the Premises, as expanded by the Expansion Space, as set forth above. Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall commence upon delivery of said space to Tenant. Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Costs for the Expansion Space, with Tenant’s Proportionate Share to increase to reflect the area of the Expansion Space and be confirmed in a written notice from Landlord to Tenant.

First Refusal Right

If during the Term (i) no event of default in respect of Tenant, as defined in Section 12.01, has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the space on floor 1 of the Building currently leased by First Capital Bank becomes available for lease, and (iii) McGuireWoods, LLP and Davenport & Company LLC, and their successors or assigns, do not wish to lease such space, then Landlord shall make an offer (the “Offer”) to lease such space, including the ATM location of First Capital Bank in the Building (the “First Refusal Space”) to Tenant. The Offer shall be in writing and shall specify the square footage, availability date and terms on which Landlord would lease the First Refusal Space to Tenant. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of any such notice to elect to lease the First Refusal Space offered on the terms offered. “Business Day” shall mean a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in Richmond, Virginia are generally closed for business. If Tenant rejects any such Offer, or fails to respond to any such Offer within said period, Landlord shall be free to lease the First Refusal Space to an unaffiliated third party upon substantially the same financial terms as those contained

 

6


in Landlord’s Offer. A change in any financial term to the disadvantage of the tenant, or a change in any financial term to the benefit of the tenant in the amount of two percent (2%) or less, shall not be deemed a substantial change in the term. If Landlord substantially changes any financial term on which Landlord is willing to lease the First Refusal Space to a third party, Landlord shall resubmit the Offer to Tenant with the appropriate revisions, and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) Business Days in which to accept any such revised Offer. If Tenant accepts any such Offer, the First Refusal Space shall be added to the Premises at the rental set forth in Landlord’s Offer and on the other terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s Offer. In the event Tenant leases the First Refusal Space, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent on such space shall commence upon delivery of said space finished as specified in Landlord’s Offer.

Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord (i) an amendment to this Lease to be prepared by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant documenting the terms of any Extension Period or any addition of the Expansion Space to the Premises, or (ii) a new Lease to be prepared by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant for any First Refusal Space leased by Tenant, which new lease shall be co-terminous with this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to exercise an Extension Option, Expansion Option or first refusal right only so long as the original Tenant under this Lease, or a Permitted Transferee, as defined below, is occupying the entire Premises for its own use.

3. RENT

Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord at the office of the Landlord’s building manager (“Manager”), or at such other place designated by Landlord, base rent at the rates stated in Section 1.01.1 (“Base Rent”). Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month of the Term from and after the Rent Commencement Date, with the first installment of Base Rent to be paid by Tenant on June 1, 2009. Rent shall be deemed paid when received by Landlord. Base Rent shall be prorated for partial months within the Term. All charges, costs and sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and under the work letter attached as Exhibit C (“Work Letter”), in addition to Base Rent (including without limitation Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Costs) shall be considered additional rent, and Base Rent and additional rent shall be collectively called “Rent”. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all Rent shall be paid without any prior notice or demand and without any deduction whatsoever.

No such discontinuance of any service shall result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant or be considered an eviction or a disturbance of Tenant’s use of the Premises.

5.03 FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES

Any failure by Landlord to furnish the services required by this Lease, or any cessation thereof resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to Tenant, be construed as an eviction of Tenant, work an abatement of Rent or relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any of its covenants or agreements in this Lease. In the event of any such failure or cessation in the provision of services, Landlord shall diligently pursue the restoration of the services promptly after Landlord’s receipt of written notice of such failure or cessation. If (i) the failure or cessation resulted from the negligence or willful act of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, (ii) such failure or cessation continues for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive Business Days after written notice from Tenant, and (iii) Tenant is unable to (and does not) operate its business in the Premises as a result of such failure or cessation, then the Rent or an equitable portion thereof shall be abated until the services are substantially restored to the extent reasonably necessary for Tenant to operate its business in the Premises (as reasonably determined by Landlord), but Landlord shall not otherwise be liable to Tenant for damages. No failure or cessation shall be considered to be an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises.

5.04 COMMUNICATIONS

Tenant shall make arrangements directly with service providers for telephone, data and other communications services in the Premises desired by Tenant. Tenant shall pay for all such services used

If the size or configuration of the Common Areas is diminished or altered, and as long as such diminution or alteration does not materially adversely affect access to the Building, the Premises or the Tenant’s Parking Spaces, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of Rent, nor shall such diminution or alteration of the Common Areas be considered a constructive or actual eviction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for any alteration or reduction of the Common Areas that is beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of Rent as a result thereof, nor shall such diminution or alteration of the Common Areas be considered a constructive or actual eviction.

8. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

8.01 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not sublease the Premises, or assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the interest of Tenant in this Lease, in whole or in part, by operation of law, court decree or otherwise. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold consent in its sole discretion if the proposed subtenant, assignee or other transferee, or any affiliate of the proposed subtenant, assignee or other transferee, is (i) an existing tenant in the Building, Two James Center or Three James Center, or (ii) a person or entity that has communicated with Landlord about leasing space in the Building, Two James Center or Three James Center at any time during the six (6) month period prior to the request for Landlord’s consent. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or enter into any sublease of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver written notice of such intent to Landlord, together with a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease (which must be executed by the sublessee or assignee, or be submitted to Landlord with a detailed term sheet, which may be non-binding, signed by the sublessee or assignee) at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment or commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease. Any sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease, one-half (1/2) of the excess of (i) all rent and other consideration received from the subtenant for such month over that portion of the Rent due under this Lease for said month which is allocable on a square footage basis to the space sublet over (ii) all reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease, including without limitation, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement costs and professional fees, amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease. In the event of any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any renewal or extension of this Lease, unless Landlord agrees to a release in writing. For purposes of this Section, an assignment shall be considered to include a change in the majority ownership or control of Tenant unless the ownership interests in Tenant are publicly traded. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional Rent, any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant within ten (10) days after billing by Landlord, provided that Landlord agrees that such costs payable by Tenant under this sentence shall not exceed a total of $5,000.00 for any sublease or assignment made in accordance with the requirements of this Section.

 

10


Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, assign the Lease or sublease the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the approval of the Landlord to any of the following (each a “Permitted Transferee”):

 

  (i) Any organization resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant so long as the net worth of such successor equals or exceeds the greater of (i) Tenant’s net worth as of the date immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, or (ii) Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease,

 

  (ii) Any organization purchasing substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant so long as the net worth of such purchaser after such purchase equals or exceeds the greater of (i) Tenant’s net worth as of the date immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, or (ii) Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease, or

 

  (iii) Any partnership, limited liability company, or corporation that controls Tenant, is controlled by Tenant, or is under the control of a common parent company with Tenant (“control” meaning the ownership of more than fifty percent of general partnership interests of a partnership, membership interests of a limited liability company or stock in a corporation, respectively) so long as the net worth of such entity equals or exceeds the greater of (i) Tenant’s net worth as of the date immediately prior to such assignment or sublease, or (ii) Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease.

No such transaction, assignment or sublease shall release Tenant from liability under this Lease. Any such transaction, assignment or sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and the assignee under any assignment of this Lease shall expressly assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall supply to Landlord the notices and documentation otherwise required for assignments and subleases by this Article, as well as documentation confirming that the requirements regarding net worth set forth above are satisfied, in the event of a transaction set forth above with a Permitted Transferee.

8.02 RECAPTURE

If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or enter into any sublease of the Premises (other than with a Permitted Transferee), Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease (upon a proposed assignment) or exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease the space proposed to be sublet by Tenant, effective as of the proposed assignment date or commencement date of sublease of said space by Tenant. Landlord may exercise said option by giving Tenant written notice within twenty (20) days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice of the proposed assignment or sublease. If Landlord exercises said option, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises (upon a proposed assignment) or proposed sublease space to Landlord on the effective date of termination or exclusion of said space from the Premises covered by this Lease, and neither party hereto shall have any future rights or liabilities with respect to the Premises (upon a proposed assignment) said or proposed sublease space under this Lease, except that Tenant shall remain liable for accrued liabilities and defaults. Effective as of the date of termination or exclusion of any portion of the Premises covered by this Lease pursuant to this paragraph, (i) the Rent shall be abated in full (upon termination due to a proposed assignment) or reduced in the same proportion as the number of square feet of Rentable Area contained in the portion of the Premises so excluded bears to the number of square feet of Rentable Area contained in the Premises immediately prior to such exclusion, and (ii) in the case of exclusion due to a proposed sublease, the Rentable Area of the Premises specified in Section 1.01J shall be decreased by the number of square feet of Rentable Area contained in the portion of the Premises so excluded, for all purposes under this Lease.

 

11


Alternatively, if Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises (other than with a Permitted Transferee), Landlord shall have the option, in Landlord’s discretion in lieu of its option in the first paragraph of this Section 8.02, to sublet from Tenant the area Tenant desires to sublease (“Leaseback Area”). If Landlord desires to exercise such option, it must notify Tenant of such election within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the proposed sublease. If Landlord exercise such option, Tenant automatically shall be deemed to have subleased the Leaseback Area to Landlord (“Backleasing” or “Backlease”) for the term (“Backlease Term”) of the proposed sublease referred to in Tenant’s notice to Landlord, at a sublease rent equal to the lesser of (on a per square foot basis) (a) Rent hereunder, or (b) the rent specified in the sublease proposed by Tenant. All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain applicable to the Leaseback Area, except such as by their nature or purport are inapplicable or inappropriate to such Backleasing, or are inconsistent with the further provisions of the following subsections of this paragraph, which further provisions shall be deemed to be part of the terms, covenants, and conditions of such Backleasing:

 

  (i) Landlord shall have the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenant’s permission or consent, to underlet the Leaseback Area in whole or in part to any person or entity, including Tenant’s proposed subtenant, for any period or periods of time not extending beyond one (1) day before the expiration of the Backlease Term, at such rentals and on such terms and conditions (including any alterations required to render the Leaseback Area suitable for occupancy by an undertenant of Landlord) as Landlord shall determine. Landlord may underlet the Leaseback Area or parts thereof separately or in combinations, as Landlord deems appropriate. The Backlease may be assigned by Landlord to any person, including Tenant’s proposed subtenant, without Tenant’s consent, but such assignment shall not be effective unless the transferee executes and delivers to Tenant a written agreement assuming all of Landlord’s obligations under the Backlease. At the expiration or sooner termination of the Backlease Term, Landlord shall have no obligations to restore or alter or improve the Leaseback Area;

 

  (ii) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord or its assignee or subtenant under the Backlease any consents or approvals requested under the Backlease so long as (a) Landlord furnishes such consents or approvals to Tenant and, (b) Tenant incurs no expense by reason of any such consent or approval; and

 

  (iii) Landlord and Tenant expressly negate any intention that any estate created by or under the Backlease shall be merged with any other estate held by either of them. At the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually execute, acknowledge, and deliver an instrument or instruments of sublease and/or assignment to confirm and separately set forth the rent, terms, conditions and other provisions of the Backleasing or any Leaseback Area as may be appropriate.

The Common Areas shall be subject to the control, management, operation and maintenance of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish, modify and enforce rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Rules and Regulations”) with respect to the Common Areas. Tenant agrees to comply with the Rules and Regulations, to use commercially reasonable cause its officers, agents, contractors and employees to so comply and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its customers, invitees, concessionaires, suppliers, and licensees to so comply.

All such work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and with the use of good grades of materials including fire protection grades equivalent with those of the Building. Tenant shall permit Landlord, if Landlord so desires, to observe construction operations in connection with such work; provided, however, that such observation or right to observe by Landlord and the approval or disapproval of the plans and specifications for such work in any situation shall not constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of such work or materials for Tenant’s intended use or impose any liability upon Landlord in connection with the performance of such work.

11.02 INDEMNIFICATION

A. Subject to Section 11.03 below, Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Lender, the Manager and their respective agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, costs and expenses of every kind and nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), including those arising from any injury or damage to any person (including death), property or business (a) resulting from the occupancy or use of the Premises or use of the Common Areas by Tenant, or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, visitors, licensees or subtenants, or (b) resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, visitors, licensees or subtenants; provided, however, Tenant’s obligations under this section shall not apply to injury or damage resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, the Manager or their respective agents or employees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not, without the prior

 

15


written consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry to any judgment, or enter into any settlement, unless such judgment or settlement provides only for the payment of money damages by the indemnifying party reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party, and unless such judgment or settlement includes a release by the claimant or plaintiff of the indemnified party and its affiliates that is reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party fails to undertake a defense within thirty (30) days after notice from the indemnified party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to undertake the defense of, and, compromise or settle such liability or claim on behalf of, and for the account of, the indemnifying party.

B. Landlord, the Manager and their respective agents, contractors and employees, shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for (1) any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by Tenant to the extent of property insurance coverage required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease or (2) any deductible or risk retention amount applicable to such property insurance coverage obtained and maintained by Tenant.

12. EVENT OF DEFAULT

12.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Each of the following shall constitute an event of default by Tenant under this Lease: (1) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent when due, and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such failure, provided Landlord shall not be obligated to provide more than two (2) such notices in any calendar year, and any failure by Tenant to pay Rent when due in a calendar year in which two (2) such notices have previously been given shall immediately constitute an event of default;

 

16


(2) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or under the Work Letter to be observed or performed by Tenant and fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant, provided that if Tenant has during said fifteen (15) day period commenced to cure a default which could not reasonably be cured in fifteen (15) days, Tenant shall have up to thirty (30) additional days to complete such cure as long as Tenant continues to pursue a cure with diligence and the default is capable of cure; (3) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process; (4) a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts, or any petition is filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure or upon the dissolution of Tenant, and if any such filing is made by a person or entity other than Tenant or an affiliate of Tenant, if the petition is not dismissed or otherwise terminated in respect of Tenant within sixty (60) days after written notice to Tenant of such filing; (5) Tenant is declared insolvent by law or any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors; or (6) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant’s property.

12.02 LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord, at its option, without further notice or demand to Tenant, except as may be required by applicable law, may in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity:

A. Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises, and recover all damages to which Landlord is entitled under law, specifically including, without limitation, all Landlord’s expenses of reletting (including repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions).

B. Terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, in which event Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, relet the Premises, or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Landlord. For purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to redecorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent necessary, as determined by Landlord. Until Landlord does relet the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly on the first day of each month during the period that Tenant’s right of possession is terminated, a sum equal to the amount of Rent due under this Lease for such month. If and when the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum is not realized from such reletting after payment of all Landlord’s expenses of reletting (including repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions) to satisfy the payment of Rent due under this Lease for any month, Tenant shall pay Landlord any such deficiency monthly upon written demand. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord under this section from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not previously reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s right to possession only without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof, as stated in Article 13; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall be in accordance with applicable law in respect of the eviction of commercial tenants from leased premises and shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent reserved hereunder for the full Term or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease.

C. In the event a petition is filed by or against Tenant seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under the Bankruptcy Code, and if any such filing is made by a person or entity other than Tenant or an affiliate of Tenant, if the petition is not dismissed or otherwise terminated in respect of Tenant within sixty (60) days after written notice to Tenant of such filing Landlord and Tenant agree, to the extent permitted by law, that the trustee in bankruptcy shall determine within ninety (90) days after commencement of the case, whether to assume or reject this Lease.

 

17


D. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages upon default by the other.

12.03 ATTORNEYS’ FEES

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, attorneys’ fees shall be determined at the normal hourly rates charged by the person doing the work. A party which is not entitled to recover costs in any such suit shall not be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees. In the event different parties are the prevailing parties on different issues, attorneys’ fees shall be apportioned in proportion to the value of the issues decided for and against the parties.

13. SURRENDER OF PREMISES

Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in broom clean condition and in reasonably good condition considering the age of the improvements in the Premises, ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. Upon any termination which occurs other than by reason of Tenant’s default, Tenant shall remove from the Premises all unattached and movable trade fixtures and personal property of Tenant that were paid for by Tenant without credit or compensation from Landlord, provided Tenant immediately shall repair all damage resulting from such removal. In the event possession of the Premises is not immediately delivered to Landlord or if Tenant shall fail to remove any unattached and movable trade fixtures or personal property which Tenant is obligated to remove, Landlord may remove same without any liability to Tenant. Any movable trade fixtures and personal property which may be removed from the Premises by Tenant but which are not so removed upon the vacancy of the Premises shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and title to such property shall pass to Landlord without any payment or credit, and Landlord may, at its option and at Tenant’s expense, store and/or dispose of such property. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord may require that Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, upon expiration of the Term or earlier termination of the Lease, remove all cabling installed in the Premises by or at the request of Tenant. If Tenant fails to promptly remove such cabling, Landlord may remove it, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such work on demand, such obligation to survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

14. HOLDING OVER

Tenant shall pay Landlord 150 percent (150%) of the Rent then applicable for each month or partial month during which Tenant retains possession of the Premises, or any part of the Premises, after the expiration or termination of this Lease, or the termination of Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all losses, liabilities and damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention of possession, provided that Tenant shall not be required to indemnify Landlord for consequential damages from termination or other loss of a lease for the Premises by a replacement tenant due to delay in delivery of the Premises to the new tenant, or other consequential damages suffered by Landlord, unless Tenant retains possession for more than thirty (30) days after expiration or termination of this Lease, or the termination of Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord available under this Lease or by law.

15. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

15.01 SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

If either the Premises or the Building is rendered substantially untenantable by fire or other casualty, Landlord may elect by giving Tenant written notice within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of said fire or casualty, either to: (1) terminate this Lease as of the date of the fire or other casualty; or (2) proceed to repair or restore the Premises or the Building (other than leasehold improvements and personal property installed by or on behalf of Tenant) to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such fire or casualty.

If Landlord elects to proceed pursuant to subsection (2) above, Landlord’s notice shall contain Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the time required to substantially complete such repair or restoration. If such estimate indicates that the time so required will exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the fire or other casualty, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice to Landlord not later than twenty (20) days after the date of the Landlord’s notice, in which event Tenant shall have as much time as is practicable under the circumstances (not to exceed thirty (30) days from the date of Tenant’s notice of termination) to vacate the Premises (provided that all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, other than the obligation to pay Rent, shall remain in effect, notwithstanding such termination of the Lease, with respect to any such period during which Tenant is vacating the Premises). If Landlord’s estimate indicates that the repair or restoration can be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the fire or other casualty, or if Tenant fails to exercise its said right to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall remain in force and effect.

15.02 INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

If either the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty but is not rendered substantially untenantable, then Landlord shall diligently proceed to repair and restore the damaged portions thereof, other than the leasehold improvements and personal property installed by or on behalf of Tenant, to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such fire or casualty, unless such damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, in which event Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such fire or other casualty by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right, by notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s notice of termination, to defer the effective date of any such termination of this Lease for the least of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice of termination from Landlord, (ii) the period remaining in the Term, or (iii) such lesser period as is required by Tenant, to allow Tenant time to relocate from the Premises (all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease to remain in effect during such deferral). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the repair and restoration work that it is required to perform not later than the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of the fire or other casualty, unless Landlord has the right under this Section 15.02 to terminate this Lease and does in fact do so.

 

19


15.03 RENT ABATEMENT

If all or any part of the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Rent shall abate for all or that part of the Premises which are untenantable on a per diem and proportionate area basis from the date of the fire or other casualty until Landlord has substantially completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises which it is required to perform, provided, that as a result of such fire or other casualty, Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which are untenantable during such period.

15.04 TENANT’S RESTORATION

If all or any part of the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Tenant shall promptly and with due diligence repair and restore the leasehold improvements previously installed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises, but shall not be required to repair or restore its personal property (unless the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, in which event Tenant shall have no obligation to repair or restore leasehold improvements, provided that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to repair or restore such leasehold improvements or any personal property of Tenant).

16. EMINENT DOMAIN

16.01 PERMANENT TAKING

If all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Complex is permanently taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation), which renders the Premises substantially untenantable, or if Landlord otherwise elects by written notice to terminate this Lease as a result of such condemnation, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in such authority, and Rent shall be apportioned as of such date.

16.02 INSUBSTANTIAL TAKING

If any part of the Premises, the Building or the Complex is taken or condemned for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation) and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to 16.01, Rent shall be reduced (for the period of such taking if a temporary taking) by an amount which bears the same ratio to Rent then in effect as the number of square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises so taken or condemned, if any, bears to the number of square feet of Rentable Area specified in Section 1.01J. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation or proceeds of sale, shall make necessary repairs and restorations (exclusive of leasehold improvements and personal property installed by or on behalf of the Tenant) to restore the Premises remaining to as near its former condition as circumstances will permit, and to the Building and Complex to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of same not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural unit. In the event of any taking or condemnation described in this Section 16.02, the Rentable Area of the Premises stated in Section 1.01J and the Rentable Area of the Building as specified in this Lease, shall be reduced, respectively, for all purposes under this Lease by the number of square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises, if any, and the Building, if any, so taken or condemned as determined and certified by an independent architect selected by Landlord and licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

16.03 COMPENSATION

Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such sale, taking or condemnation without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if

 

20


any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority (i) an award in respect of the loss, if any, to leasehold improvements and personal property of Tenant paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord, and (ii) an award for the relocation costs and expenses Tenant incurs in moving to other premises. Under no circumstances shall the Tenant seek or be entitled to any compensation for the value of its leasehold estate, and no award to Tenant may reduce or diminish the compensation payable to Landlord.

17. INSURANCE

17.01 TENANT’S INSURANCE

Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain in force during the Term each of the following:

A. Commercial General Liability Insurance (current ISO form or its equivalent) in the amount of at least One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, with a General Aggregate limit per location of at least Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), and Umbrella Liability coverage in the amount of at least Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00), or such other amounts as Landlord may reasonably require upon not less than six (6) months’ prior written notice.

Tenant further agrees that such insurance shall include extra expense coverage and Business Interruption coverage in an amount sufficient to cover the Rent and other sums payable under this Lease for a period of twelve (12) months commencing with the date of loss. Property insurance amounts must be sufficient to prevent the application of co-insurance provisions in the policy or policies.

C. Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance with minimum limits of at least $500,000/$500,000/$500,000, with waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord (Tenant hereby waiving any claims against Landlord covered by such insurance).

Each policy of insurance required by paragraphs A and B above shall name Landlord and the Manager (with respect to the policy of insurance required by paragraph A only) as additional insureds. Prior to the commencement of the Lease Term, and annually thereafter, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing the policies of insurance required by this Article 17.

Beginning on January 1, 2010 and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay, on January 1, 2010, and thereafter on the first day of each month, as additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Costs.

Prior to January 1, 2010 and each subsequent Adjustment Date, or as soon thereafter as the information is available, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the Projections of Operating Costs for the Adjustment Year in which such Adjustment Date occurs and providing a calculation of the Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Costs to become effective as of said Adjustment Date; provided, however that the failure of Landlord to provide any such statement shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to continue to pay Tenant’s Share of Increases of Operating Costs at the rate, if any, then in effect under this Lease, and if and when Tenant receives such statement from Landlord, Tenant shall pay any unpaid Tenant’s Share of Increases in Operating Costs reflected thereby.

26.03 NO OPTION

The execution and delivery by Tenant of this Lease to Landlord or the Manager shall constitute an irrevocable offer by Tenant to lease the Premises on the terms and conditions herein contained, but the execution of this Lease by Tenant and delivery of same to Landlord or Manager does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises, or a commitment by Landlord to lease the Premises to Tenant. This Lease shall become effective only if and when Landlord executes and delivers it to Tenant.

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment or payment of Rent due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or payment of Rent or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term.

26.05 BINDING EFFECT

This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

26.06 FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party hereto shall be deemed in default with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, if such party fails to timely perform same and such failure is due in whole or in part to any strike, lockout, labor trouble (whether legal or illegal), civil disorder, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations, riots, insurrections, war, fuel shortages, accidents, casualties, Acts of God, acts caused directly or indirectly by the other party (or such other party’s agents, employees or invitees) or any other cause beyond the commercially reasonable control of the non-performing party; provided, however, that nothing herein shall excuse Tenant’s failure to pay Rent or any other charges due to Landlord hereunder.

26.07 CAPTIONS

The Article and Section captions in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent or such Articles and Sections.

26.08 APPLICABLE LAW

This Lease shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Complex is located.

Time is of the essence of this Lease and the performance of all obligations hereunder.

26.10 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT’S DUTIES

If Tenant fails timely to perform any of its duties under this Lease or the Work Letter, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), after the expiration of any grace period elsewhere under this Lease or the Work Letter expressly granted to Tenant for the performance of such duty, to perform such duty on behalf and at the expense of Tenant without further prior notice to Tenant, and all sums expended or expenses incurred by Landlord in performing such duty shall be deemed to be additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable upon demand by Landlord.

26.11 RELATIONSHIPS

The relationship between Landlord and Tenant is that of landlord and tenant and nothing herein shall be construed to give rise to any other relationship including, without limitation, a creditor and debtor relationship.

26.12 INVALIDITY

If any term(s), condition(s), covenant(s), clause(s) or provision(s) herein contained shall operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Lease in whole or in part, then such term(s), condition(s), covenant(s), clause(s), and provision(s) only shall be held for naught as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Lease shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

26.13 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD’S LIABILITY

Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of the Landlord in the Complex (including without limitation the land thereunder) for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord for any default or breach by Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease, subject, however, to the prior rights of any ground or underlying landlord or the holder of any mortgage covering the Building or of Landlord’s interest therein. No other assets of the Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s claim. This provision shall not be deemed, construed or interpreted to be or constitute an agreement, express or implied between Landlord and Tenant that the Landlord’s interest hereunder and in the Building shall be subject to impressment of an equitable lien or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit any right of injunction against the Landlord, where appropriate.

26.14 TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST

In the event of the sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Building or in this Lease (other than a collateral assignment to secure a debt of Landlord) to a successor in interest who expressly assumes in writing the obligations of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall thereupon be released or discharged from all of its covenants and obligations hereunder, except such obligations as shall have accrued prior to any such sale, assignment or transfer; and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for performance of such obligations. Any securities given by Tenant to Landlord to secure performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder may be assigned by Landlord to such successor in interest of Landlord; and, upon acknowledgement by such successor of receipt of such security and its express assumption of the obligation to account to Tenant for such security in accordance with the terms of the Lease, Landlord shall thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto. Landlord’s assignment of the Lease or of any or all of its rights herein shall in no manner affect Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Tenant shall thereafter attorn and look to such assignee, as Landlord, provided Tenant has first received written notice of such assignment of Landlord’s interest. Landlord shall have the right to freely sell, assign or otherwise transfer its interest in the Building and/or this Lease.

26.15 RIDERS

ALL RIDERS ATTACHED HERETO SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A PART HEREOF AND HEREBY INCORPORATED HEREIN.
