2. Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises, together with the right in common with others to use the Common Areas. Tenant accepts the Premises, Building and Common Areas “AS IS”, without relying on any representation, covenant or warranty by Landlord other than as expressly set forth in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall deliver the Premises in broom clean condition. Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree to the rentable square footage set forth in Section 1 above without regard to actual measurement.
(a) Tenant shall construct the initial improvements to the Premises set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”) and Landlord hereby approves the Tenant Improvements subject to the provisions of this Section. Any Tenant Improvements shall be constructed by Tenant and Tenant’s Agents in a good and workmanlike manner, using new or like-new materials, and in accordance with all applicable Laws and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to Section 12 and Section 13 (the “Lease Requirements”). Without limiting any of the Lease Requirements, any Tenant Improvements shall conform with a space plan, specifications and construction drawings reasonably approved in writing in advance by Landlord and shall be performed in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable construction rules and regulations provided to Tenant and in such a manner and at such times as not to interfere with the operation of the Building. All of Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors working in connection with any Tenant Improvements shall carry insurance reasonably required by Landlord, naming Landlord as an additional insured and all such contractors and subcontractors shall contact Landlord and schedule time periods during which they may use Building facilities in connection with such work. Tenant shall pay all costs of any Tenant Improvements.
3. Use. Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for the Use specified in Section 1 above. Tenant shall not permit any conduct or condition which may endanger, disturb or otherwise interfere with any other Building occupant’s normal operations or with the management of the Building. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of any portion of the Property for outdoor storage or installations outside of the Premises. Tenant may use all Common Areas only for their intended purposes. Landlord shall have exclusive control of all Common Areas at all times.
4. Term; Possession. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Lease. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant as of the Commencement Date, Tenant will take possession on the date Landlord delivers possession of all of the Premises, which date will then become the Commencement Date (and the Expiration Date will be extended so that the length of the Term remains unaffected by such delay). Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant resulting from any delay in delivering possession due to circumstances outside of Landlord’s reasonable control, provided that if Landlord fails to deliver all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant within three (3) months after the full execution of this Lease, Tenant may terminate this Lease by providing fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord, provided that if Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant’s termination shall be void and of no further effect.
5. Rent; Taxes. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, without demand, deduction or offset, Minimum Annual Rent and Annual Operating Expenses for the Term. Tenant shall pay the Monthly Rent, in advance, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term, at Landlord’s address designated in Section 1 above unless Landlord designates otherwise; provided that Monthly Rent for the first (1st) full month (after the Free Rent Period) shall be paid at the signing of this Lease. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, the Monthly Rent for that partial month shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid on or before the Commencement Date. Tenant shall pay Landlord a service and handling charge equal to five percent (5%) of any Rent not paid within five (5) business days after the date due. In addition, any Rent, including such charge, not paid within five (5) business days after the due date will bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date due to the date paid. Tenant shall pay before delinquent all taxes levied or assessed upon, measured by, or arising from: (a) the conduct of Tenant’s business; (b) Tenant’s leasehold estate; or (c) Tenant’s property and trade fixtures. Additionally, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all sales, use, transaction privilege, or other excise tax that may at any time be levied or imposed upon, or measured by, any amount payable by Tenant under this Lease.

6. Operating Expenses. The amount of the Annual Operating Expenses set forth in Section 1 above represents Tenant’s Share of the estimated Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which the Term commences. Landlord may adjust such amount from time to time if the estimated Annual Operating Expenses increase or decrease; Landlord may also invoice Tenant separately from time to time for Tenant’s Share of any extraordinary or unanticipated Operating Expenses. Each year (and as soon as practical after the expiration or termination of this Lease or, at Landlord’s option, after a sale of the Property), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of Operating Expenses (“Statement”) for the preceding calendar year or part thereof. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant, Landlord or Tenant shall pay to the other the amount of any overpayment or deficiency then due from one to the other or, at Landlord’s option, if applicable, Landlord may credit Tenant’s account for any overpayment. If Tenant does not give Landlord notice within thirty (30) days after receiving the Statement that Tenant disagrees with such Statement and specifying the items and amounts in dispute, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right to contest such Statement. If Tenant disagrees with the Statement and specifies the items and amounts in dispute, Tenant shall, pending the resolution of such dispute, nonetheless pay all of Tenant’s Annual Operating Expenses in accordance with such Statement. Upon the resolution of such dispute, the amount due Tenant (if any) shall be credited against future payments of Rent, or, if the Term has expired, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of any overpayment within thirty (30) days after the termination of the Lease. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to pay any overpayment or deficiency due the other pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, determine from time to time the method of computing and allocating Operating Expenses, including the method of allocating Operating Expenses to various types of space within the Building to reflect any disparate levels of services provided to different types of space. If the Building is not fully occupied during any period, Landlord may make a reasonable adjustment based on occupancy in computing the Operating Expenses for such period so that Operating Expenses are computed as though the Building had been fully occupied.
7. Utilities.
| (a) | Tenant shall pay for water, sewer, gas, electricity, heat, power, telephone and other communication services and any other utilities supplied to the Premises. Except for any utilities that are not separately metered (for which Landlord shall invoice Tenant for the cost or include the cost in Operating Expenses), Tenant shall obtain utility service in its own name and timely pay all charges directly to the provider. In the event that any meter serving the Premises is not functioning properly or during the period that such meter is being repaired, Tenant shall be responsible for its pro rata share of utility usage based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any interruption in such services, nor shall such interruption affect the continuation or validity of this Lease. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select, and to change, the companies providing such services to the Building or Premises. Any wiring, cabling or other equipment necessary to connect Tenant’s telecommunications equipment shall be Tenant’s responsibility, and shall be installed in a manner approved by Landlord. In the event Tenant’s consumption of any utility or other service included in Operating Expenses is excessive when compared with other occupants of the Property, Landlord may invoice Tenant separately for, and Tenant shall pay on demand, the cost of Tenant’s excessive consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. |
| (b) | From time to time, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may estimate the monthly cost for all utilities that are not being directly metered and billed to Tenant and bill Tenant the estimated amount therefor. All such estimated amounts shall be paid together with Monthly Rent. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant at least annually (or more frequently at Landlord’s election) a statement indicating the actual amount of Tenant’s share of such utilities based upon the actual utility invoiced (as may be applicable). If any reconciliation of utilities reveals that any additional payments are due, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after invoice therefor. If the reconciliation reveals that Tenant has overpaid utilities for such period, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against Rent hereunder, or if the Term has expired, pay such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the termination of the Lease. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to pay any overpayment or deficiency due the other pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. |

8. Insurance; Waivers; Indemnification.
| (a) | Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or damage to the Building or the Property with coverage for perils as set forth under the “Causes of Loss-Special Form” or equivalent property insurance policy in an amount equal to the full insurable replacement cost of the Building (excluding coverage of Tenant’s personal property and any Alterations by Tenant), and such other insurance, including rent loss coverage, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate or as any Mortgagee may require. |
| (b) | Tenant, at its expense, shall keep in effect commercial general liability insurance, including blanket contractual liability insurance, covering Tenant’s use of the Property, with such coverages and limits of liability as Landlord may reasonably require, but not less than a $1,000,000 combined single limit with a $3,000,000 general aggregate limit (which general aggregate limit may be satisfied by an umbrella liability policy) for bodily injury or property damage; however, such limits shall not limit Tenant’s liability hereunder. The policy shall name Landlord and any other associated or affiliated entity as their interests may appear and at Landlord’s request, any Mortgagee(s), as additional insureds, shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and not on a “claims made” basis and shall be endorsed to provide that it is primary to and not contributory to any policies carried by Landlord and to provide that it shall not be cancelable or reduced without at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord. The insurer shall be authorized to issue such insurance, licensed to do business and admitted in the state in which the Property is located and rated at least A VII in the most current edition of Best’s Insurance Reports. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date or any earlier date on which Tenant accesses the Premises, and at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of each policy renewal, a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage. |
| (c) | Landlord and Tenant each waive, and release each other from and against, all claims for recovery against the other for any loss or damage to the property of such party arising out of fire or other casualty coverable by a standard “Causes of Loss-Special Form” property insurance policy with, in the case of Tenant, such endorsements and additional coverages as are considered good business practice in Tenant’s business, even if such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party or its Agents; provided, however, such waiver by Landlord shall not be effective with respect to Tenant’s liability described in Sections 9(b) and l0(d) below. This waiver and release is effective regardless of whether the releasing party actually maintains the insurance described above in this subsection and is not limited to the amount of insurance actually carried, or to the actual proceeds received after a loss. Each party shall have its insurance company that issues its property coverage waive any rights of subrogation, and shall have the insurance company include an endorsement acknowledging this waiver, if necessary. Tenant assumes all risk of damage of Tenant’s property within the Property, including any loss or damage caused by water leakage, fire, windstorm, explosion, theft, act of any other tenant, or other cause except such loss or damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its Agents. |
Page | 5
| (d) | Subject to subsection (c) above, and except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and its Agents from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including fees of attorneys, investigators and experts) which may be asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by Landlord or its Agents and arising out of or in connection with loss of life, personal injury or damage to property in or about the Premises or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Property by Tenant or its Agents or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant or its Agents, whether prior to, during or after the Term. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. |
9. Maintenance and Repairs.
| (a) | Landlord shall Maintain the: (i) Building footings, foundations, structural steel columns and girders at Landlord’s sole expense; (ii) Building roof and exterior walls as to replacement only at Landlord’s sole expense; (iii) Building roof and exterior walls as to repair and maintenance (iv) Building Systems; and (v) Common Areas. Costs incurred by Landlord under the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii) will be excluded from Operating Expenses. Costs incurred by Landlord under the foregoing subsections (iii), (iv) and (v) will be included in Operating Expenses, provided that to the extent any heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, or other Building System, equipment or fixture exclusively serves the Premises, Landlord may elect either to Maintain the same at Tenant’s sole expense and bill Tenant directly or by notice to Tenant require Tenant to Maintain the same at Tenant’s expense. If Tenant becomes aware of any condition that is Landlord’s responsibility to repair, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the condition. |
| (b) | Except as provided in subsection (a) above, Tenant at its sole expense shall Maintain the Premises, including, but not limited to, all lighting, plumbing fixtures, walls, partitions, dock doors, loading areas, floors, doors, windows, fixtures and equipment in the Premises. All repairs and replacements by Tenant shall utilize materials and equipment which are comparable to those originally used in constructing the Building and Premises. Alterations, repairs and replacements to the Property, including the Premises, made necessary because of Tenant’s Alterations or installations, any use or circumstances special or particular to Tenant, or any act or omission of Tenant or its Agents shall be made by Landlord or Tenant as set forth above, but at the sole expense of Tenant to the extent not covered by any applicable insurance proceeds paid to Landlord. |
10. Compliance.
| (a) | Tenant will, at its expense, promptly comply with all Laws now or subsequently pertaining to the Premises or Tenant’s use or occupancy and obtain all Permits necessary for Tenant’s use, occupancy and/or business conducted at the Premises. Neither Tenant nor its Agents shall use the Premises in any manner that under any Law would require Landlord to make any Alteration to or in the Building or Common Areas (without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner that would cause the Premises or the Property to be deemed a “place of public accommodation” under the ADA if such use would require any such Alteration). Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the ADA, and any other Laws regarding accessibility, with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the ADA, and any other Laws regarding accessibility, with respect to Tenant’s specific use and/or Alteration of the Premises. Except for Tenant’s obligations set forth in this Section 10(a), Landlord shall be responsible (at Landlord’s cost for matters not in compliance as of the date of this Lease and subject to reimbursement as an Operating Expense, if applicable, for changes in ADA requirements after the date of this Lease) for compliance with the ADA and any other Laws regarding accessibility to the Premises. |
| (b) | Tenant will comply, and will cause its Agents to comply, with the Building Rules. |
| (c) | Tenant agrees not to do anything or fail to do anything which will increase the cost of Landlord’s insurance or which will prevent Landlord from procuring policies (including public liability) from companies and in a form satisfactory to Landlord. If any breach of the preceding sentence by Tenant causes the rate of fire or other insurance to be increased, Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase as additional Rent within thirty (30) days after being billed. |
Page | 6
| (d) | Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has received and reviewed a copy of that certain Phase I Environmental Site Assessment dated February 3, 2014 prepared by URS Corporation (the “Environmental Report”). Landlord has no Actual Knowledge of any Hazardous Materials being present at the Property in violation of Environmental Laws, except to the extent set forth in the Environmental Report. Tenant agrees that (i) no activity will be conducted on the Premises that will use or produce any Hazardous Materials, except for activities which are part of the ordinary course of Tenant’s business and are conducted in accordance with all Environmental Laws (“Permitted Activities”); (ii) the Premises will not be used for storage of any Hazardous Materials, except for materials used in the Permitted Activities which are properly stored in a manner and location complying with all Environmental Laws; (iii) no portion of the Premises or Property will be used by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents for disposal of Hazardous Materials; (iv) Tenant will deliver to Landlord copies of all material safety data sheets and other written information prepared by manufacturers, importers or suppliers of any chemical; and (v) Tenant will immediately notify Landlord of any violation by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents of any Environmental Laws or the release or suspected release of Hazardous Materials in, under or about the Premises, and Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a copy of any notice, filing or permit sent or received by Tenant with respect to the foregoing. If at any time during or after the Term, any portion of the Property is found to be contaminated by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents or subject to conditions prohibited in this Lease caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages and obligations of any nature arising from or as a result thereof, and Landlord shall have the right to direct remediation activities, all of which shall be performed at Tenant’s cost (which cost shall include the Administrative Fee). Tenant’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Except to the extent caused by, contributed to or exacerbated by the actions of Tenant or its Agents, Landlord will indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from all losses, damages and expense incurred by Tenant as a result of any Hazardous Materials that are conclusively determined by an independent third party reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, to have been released or emitted within the Property either (a) prior to Tenant’s access, occupancy or possession of the Premises, or (b) by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents at any time before, during or after the Lease Term. Landlord’s obligations pursuant to this subsection shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each agree to promptly notify the other of any notice received from any governmental entity concerning Hazardous Materials or the violation of any Environmental Laws relating to the Premises. |
11. Signs. Tenant shall not place any signs on the Property without the prior consent of Landlord, other than signs that are located wholly within the interior of the Premises and not visible from the exterior of the Premises. Tenant shall maintain all signs installed by Tenant in good condition. Tenant shall remove its signs at the termination of this Lease, shall repair any resulting damage, and shall restore the Property to its condition existing prior to the installation of Tenant’s signs.
Page | 7
12. Alterations. Except for non-structural Alterations that (i) do not exceed $5,000 in the aggregate, (ii) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises, (iii) do not affect any Building System or the structural strength of the Building, (iv) do not require penetrations into the floor, roof, ceiling or walls, and (v) do not require work on the roof within the walls, below the floor or above the ceiling, Tenant shall not make or permit any Alterations in or to the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any Alterations that do not require Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall nonetheless provide written notice thereof to Landlord, describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Alteration. With respect to any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not the Alteration requires Landlord’s consent): (i) not less than ten (10) days prior to commencing any Alteration, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the plans, specifications and necessary permits for the Alteration, together with certificates evidencing that Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors have adequate insurance coverage naming Landlord and any other associated or affiliated entity as their interests may appear as additional insureds, (ii) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written approval of any contractor or subcontractor, (iii) the Alteration shall be constructed with new materials, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Laws and the plans and specifications delivered to, and, if required above, approved by Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall pay Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with Landlord’s review of Tenant’s plans and specifications, and of any supervision or inspection of the construction Landlord deems necessary, and (v) upon Landlord’s request Tenant shall, prior to commencing any Alteration, provide Landlord reasonable security against liens arising out of such construction. Any Alteration by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration or termination of this Lease; at that time without payment by Landlord the Alteration shall remain on the Property and become the property of Landlord unless Landlord gives notice to Tenant to remove it, in which event Tenant will remove it, will repair any resulting damage and will restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to Tenant’s Alteration. At Tenant’s request prior to Tenant making any Alterations, Landlord will notify Tenant whether Tenant is required to remove the Alterations at the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant may install its trade fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises, provided that the installation and removal of them will not affect any structural portion of the Property, any Building System or any other equipment or facilities serving the Building or any occupant. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, other than those improvements set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto, Tenant shall not be permitted to make exterior Alterations or material interior Alterations prior to December 31, 2017.
13. Mechanics’ Liens. Tenant shall pay promptly for any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment furnished to Tenant in or about the Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property free from any liens arising out of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment furnished or alleged to have been furnished to Tenant. Tenant shall take all steps permitted by law in order to avoid the imposition of any such lien. Should any such lien or notice of such lien be filed against the Premises or the Property, Tenant shall discharge the same by bonding or otherwise within fifteen (15) days after Tenant has notice that the lien or claim is filed regardless of the validity of such lien or claim.
14. Landlord’s Right of Entry. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its Agents to enter the Premises at all reasonable times following reasonable notice (except in an emergency or during the existence of an Event of Default, in which case Landlord and its Agents may enter at any time and notice shall not be required) to inspect, Maintain, or make Alterations to the Premises or Property, to exhibit the Premises for the purpose of sale or financing, and, during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, to exhibit the Premises to any prospective tenant. Landlord will make reasonable efforts not to inconvenience Tenant in exercising such rights, but Landlord shall not be liable for any interference with Tenant’s occupancy resulting from Landlord’s entry.
Page | 8
15. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty. If the Premises or Common Areas shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord, and Landlord, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, shall repair such damage and restore the Premises or Common Areas to substantially the same condition in which they were immediately prior to such damage or destruction, but not including the repair, restoration or replacement of the fixtures, equipment, or Alterations installed by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall notify Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty, if Landlord anticipates that the restoration will take more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty to complete; in such event, either Landlord or Tenant (unless the damage was caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents) may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of casualty by giving notice to the other within ten (10) days after Landlord’s notice. If a casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, Landlord may terminate this Lease unless Tenant has the right to extend the Term for at least three (3) more years and does so within thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty. Moreover, Landlord may terminate this Lease if the loss is not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant will receive an abatement of Minimum Annual Rent and Annual Operating Expenses to the extent the Premises are rendered untenantable as a result of the casualty, except if caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents and not covered by Landlord’s insurance proceeds.
16. Condemnation. If (a) all of the Premises are Taken, (b) any part of the Premises is Taken and the remainder is insufficient in Landlord’s and Tenant’s reasonable opinion for the reasonable operation of Tenant’s business, or (c) any of the Property is Taken, and, in Landlord’s opinion, it would be impractical or the condemnation proceeds are insufficient to restore the remainder, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date the condemning authority takes possession. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall restore the Building to a condition as near as reasonably possible to the condition prior to the Taking, the Minimum Annual Rent shall be abated for the period of time all or a part of the Premises is untenantable in proportion that such rentable square foot area that is untenantable bears to the rentable square footage of the Premises, and this Lease shall be amended appropriately. The compensation awarded for a Taking shall belong to Landlord. Except for any relocation benefits to which Tenant may be entitled, if any, Tenant hereby assigns all claims against the condemning authority to Landlord, including, but not limited to, any claim relating to Tenant’s leasehold estate.
17. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon performing all of its covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, shall have quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises as against anyone claiming by or through Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.
| 18. | Assignment and Subletting. |
| (a) | Except as provided in Section (b) below, Tenant shall not enter into nor permit any Transfer voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if (i) the proposed transferee is an existing tenant of Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, (ii) the business, business reputation or creditworthiness of the proposed transferee is unacceptable to Landlord, (iii) Landlord or an affiliate has comparable space available for lease by the proposed transferee, or (iv) there is an Event of Default or any act or omission has occurred which would constitute a default with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time. Consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent Transfer. In no event shall any Transfer relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease only for the original Lease Term as set forth in Section l(c), not for any extended or renewed terms of the Lease unless such extended or renewed term was granted to Tenant or agreed to by Tenant. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. Any Transfer not in conformity with this Section 18 shall be void at the option of Landlord. |
| (b) | Landlord’s consent shall not be required in the event of any Transfer by Tenant to an Affiliate provided that (i) the Affiliate has a tangible net worth at least equal to that of Tenant as of the date of this Lease, (ii) Tenant provides Landlord notice of the Transfer at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date, together with current financial statements of the Affiliate certified by an executive officer of the Affiliate, and (iii) in the case of an assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord an assumption agreement or sublease reasonably acceptable to Landlord executed by Tenant and the Affiliate, together with a certificate of insurance evidencing the Affiliate’s compliance with the insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease. |
Page | 9
| (c) | The provisions of subsection (a) above notwithstanding, if Tenant proposes to Transfer all of the Premises (other than to an Affiliate), Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant, either conditioned on execution of a new lease between Landlord and the proposed transferee or without that condition. If Tenant proposes to enter into a Transfer of less than all of the Premises (other than to an Affiliate), Landlord may amend this Lease to remove the portion of the Premises to be transferred, either conditioned on execution of a new lease between Landlord and the proposed transferee or without that condition. If this Lease is not so terminated or amended, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt, the excess of (i) all compensation received by Tenant for the Transfer over (ii) the Rent allocable to the Premises transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease or amend this Lease to remove the portion of the Premises to be Transferred, Tenant may, within five (5) business days following Landlord’s election, withdraw its request to the Transfer, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. |
| (d) | If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed Transfer, current financial statements of the transferee certified by an executive officer of the transferee, a complete copy of the proposed Transfer documents, and any other information Landlord reasonably requests. Immediately following any approved assignment or sublease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord executed by Tenant and the transferee, together with a certificate of insurance evidencing the transferee’s compliance with the insurance requirements of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for reasonable administrative and attorneys’ fees in connection with the processing and documentation of any Transfer for which Landlord’s consent is requested. |
19. Subordination; Mortgagee’s Rights.
| (a) | Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any Mortgage now or in the future affecting the Premises, provided that Tenant’s right of possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed by the Mortgagee so long as there is no Event of Default under this Lease. This clause shall be self-operative, but within ten (10) days after request, Tenant shall execute and deliver any further instruments confirming the subordination of this Lease and any further instruments of attornment that the Mortgagee may reasonably request provided that such instrument contains a commercially reasonable non-disturbance provision in favor of Tenant. However, any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by giving notice to Tenant, and this Lease shall then be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery; provided that such subordination shall not affect any Mortgagee’s rights with respect to condemnation awards, casualty insurance proceeds, intervening liens or any right which shall arise between the recording of such Mortgage and the execution of this Lease. |
| (b) | No Mortgagee shall be (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord, (ii) subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord, (iii) bound by any amendment of this Lease made without its written consent that materially impact the Landlord’s rights or remedies under the Lease, or (iv) bound by payment of Monthly Rent more than one month in advance or liable for any other funds paid by Tenant to Landlord unless such funds actually have been transferred to the Mortgagee by Landlord. |
| (c) | The provisions of Sections 15 and 16 above notwithstanding, Landlord’s obligation to restore the Premises after a casualty or condemnation shall be subject to the consent and prior rights of any Mortgagee. |
| (d) | Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost to Landlord, to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement for the benefit of Tenant from any Mortgagee on the standard form of such Mortgagee. |
20. Tenant’s Certificate; Financial Information. Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request from time to time, (a) Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, for the benefit of Landlord, Mortgagee, any prospective Mortgagee, and any prospective purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Property, an estoppel certificate in a form reasonably requested by Landlord, modified as necessary to accurately state the facts represented, and (b) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagee, any prospective Mortgagee and/or any prospective purchaser any reasonably requested financial information.

21. Surrender.
| (a) | On the date on which this Lease expires or terminates, Tenant shall return possession of the Premises to Landlord in good condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, and except for casualty damage or other conditions that Tenant is not required to remedy under this Lease. Prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove from the Property all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, wiring and cabling (unless Landlord directs Tenant otherwise), and all other personal property installed by Tenant or its assignees or subtenants. Tenant shall repair any damage resulting from such removal and shall restore the Property to good order and condition. Any of Tenant’s personal property not removed as required shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may remove, store, sell or otherwise dispose of such property in such manner as Landlord may see fit and/or Landlord may retain such property or sale proceeds as its property. If Tenant does not return possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition required under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord all resulting damages Landlord may suffer. |
| (b) | If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant’s occupancy during any holdover period shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Lease (unless clearly inapplicable), except that the Monthly Rent shall be 150% of the Monthly Rent payable for the last full month immediately preceding the holdover. No holdover or payment by Tenant after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall operate to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. Any provision in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, any holdover by Tenant shall constitute a default on the part of Tenant under this Lease entitling Landlord to exercise, without obligation to provide Tenant any notice or cure period, all of the remedies available to Landlord in the event of a Tenant default, and Tenant shall be liable for all damages, including consequential damages, that Landlord suffers as a result of the holdover. |
22. Defaults - Remedies.
| (a) | It shall be an Event of Default: |
(i) If Tenant does not pay in full when due any and all Rent and, except as provided in Section 22(c) below, Tenant fails to cure such default on or before the date that is five (5) business days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of default;
(ii) If Tenant enters into or permits any Transfer in violation of Section 18 above;
(iii) If Tenant fails to observe and perform or otherwise breaches any other provision of this Lease, and, except as provided in Section 22(c) below, Tenant fails to cure the default on or before the date that is fifteen (15) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of default; provided, however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s giving of notice, Tenant shall be afforded additional reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days following Landlord’s notice) to cure the default if Tenant begins to cure the default within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s notice and continues diligently in good faith to completely cure the default; or
Page | 11
(iv) If Tenant becomes insolvent or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or offers a settlement to creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement with creditors under any federal or state law is filed by or against Tenant, or a bill in equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver for any of Tenant’s assets is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be levied upon; provided that any proceeding brought by anyone other than Landlord or Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall not constitute an Event of Default until such proceeding has continued unstayed for more than sixty (60) consecutive days.
| (b) | If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies: |
(i) Landlord, without any obligation to do so, may elect to cure the default on behalf of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord (together with the Administrative Fee) in curing the default, plus interest at the Interest Rate from the respective dates of Landlord’s incurring such costs, which sums and costs together with interest at the Interest Rate shall be deemed additional Rent;
(ii) To enter and repossess the Premises, by breaking open locked doors if necessary, and remove all persons and all or any property, by action at law or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, make Alterations and repairs in order to re-let the Premises and re-let all or any part(s) of the Premises for Tenant’s account. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency (taking into account all costs incurred by Landlord) that may arise by reason of such re-letting. In the event of re-letting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach;
(iii) To terminate this Lease and the Term and recover from Tenant, in addition to any other remedies permitted at law or in equity (but subject to any limitations on such other remedies expressly set forth herein): (i) the worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time this Lease is terminated; plus (ii) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rents that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. As used in this subsection (iv), “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the Discounting Rate. As used herein, the term “Discounting Rate” means the lesser of (i) the “prime rate” or “reference rate” announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. (or such reasonable comparable national banking institution as is selected by Landlord in the event Bank of America, N.A. ceases to publish a prime rate or reference rate), plus one percent (1%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by Law; and
Page | 12
(iv) To terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken.
| (c) | Any provision to the contrary in this Section 22 notwithstanding, (i) Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant the notice and opportunity to cure provided in Section 22(a) above more than twice in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, and thereafter Landlord may declare an Event of Default without affording Tenant any of the notice and cure rights provided under this Lease, and (ii) Landlord shall not be required to give such notice prior to exercising its rights under Section 22(b) if Tenant fails to comply with the provisions of Sections 13, 20 or 27 or in an emergency. |
| (d) | No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant be a waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant’s default shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages hereunder. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided herein or by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the total amount due Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment 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 Rent due, or Landlord’s right to pursue any other available remedy. |
| (e) | Landlord and Tenant waive the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding based upon or related to, the subject matter of this Lease. |
23. Tenant’s Authority. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that: (a) Tenant is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state under which Tenant is organized, and qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located, (b) the person(s) signing this Lease are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant and (c) any financial statements provided by Tenant to Landlord are true, correct and complete and fairly represent the financial condition of Tenant as of the date hereof and as of the date of such statements.
24. Liability of Landlord. The word “Landlord” in this Lease includes the Landlord executing this Lease as well as its successors and assigns, each of which shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities and privileges as it would have had it originally signed this Lease as Landlord. Any such person or entity, whether or not named in this Lease, shall have no liability under this Lease after it ceases to hold title to the Premises except for obligations already accrued (and, as to any unapplied portion of Tenant’s Security Deposit and any unapplied portion of Tenant’s prepaid Monthly Rent or other prepaid funds, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability upon transfer of such portion to its successor in interest). Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s successor in interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder which subsequently accrue. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless Tenant gives Landlord written notice specifying the default and Landlord fails to cure the default on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after Tenant gives Landlord notice of default; provided, however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s giving of notice, Landlord shall be afforded additional reasonable time to cure the default if Landlord begins to cure the default within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s notice and continues diligently in good faith to completely cure the default. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss of business or profits of Tenant or for consequential, punitive or special damages of any kind. Neither Landlord nor any principal of Landlord nor any indirect owner of the Property, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or the Premises; Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Property for the satisfaction of any claim by Tenant against Landlord.

Each party waives any right to a change of the aforesaid venue and any and all objections to the jurisdiction of the California courts or the Federal courts over the parties hereto. |
| (h) | In the event of any suit, action, proceeding, or litigation is instituted to interpret or enforce the provisions of this Lease, or in connection with any arbitration or mediation of any dispute in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. |
26. Notices. Any notice, consent or other communication under this Lease shall be in writing and addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their respective addresses specified in Section 1 above (or to such other address as either may designate by notice to the other) with a copy to any Mortgagee or other party designated by Landlord.

Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with its other funds. Landlord may use the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any amount as to which Tenant is in default or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage it may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default under this Lease. If Landlord uses all or any portion of the Security Deposit as herein provided, within ten (10) days after demand, Tenant shall pay Landlord cash in an amount equal to that portion of the Security Deposit used by Landlord. If Tenant complies fully and faithfully with all of the provisions of this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant after the Expiration Date and surrender of the Premises to Landlord.
28. Option to Purchase. Provided that an Event of Default does not then exist hereunder, Tenant shall have the one-time right to exercise an option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase the Property by giving written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to Landlord prior to at any time prior to November 7, 2017. Upon exercise by Tenant of its Purchase Option in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section, Landlord shall agree to sell and Tenant shall agree to purchase the Property upon the following terms and conditions:

| (g) | Any sale of the Property by Landlord prior to Tenant’s exercise of the Purchase Option shall be subject to the terms of this Lease and Tenant’s Purchase Option. |
29. Broker. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant has dealt with no broker, agent or other intermediary in connection with this Lease other than Tenant’s Broker, and that insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker, agent or other intermediary negotiated this Lease or introduced Tenant to Landlord or brought the Building to Tenant’s attention for the lease of space therein. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its affiliates, partners, members, employees, agents, their partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, and trustees, harmless from and against any claims made by any broker, agent or other intermediary other than Tenant’s Broker, with respect to a claim for any broker’s commission or fee or similar compensation brought by any person in connection with this Lease, provided that Landlord has not in fact retained such broker, agent or other intermediary. Landlord agrees to pay all commissions payable to Tenant’s Broker pursuant to a separate, written agreement between Landlord and Tenant’s Broker.

30. California Accessibility Disclosure. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises has not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, to its actual knowledge, the Building, restrooms and Common Areas are in compliance with the ADA and other applicable building codes.
In addition, the following notice is hereby provided pursuant to Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code:
“A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.”
In furtherance of and in connection with such notice: (i) Tenant, having read such notice and understanding Tenant’s right to request and obtain a CASp inspection at this time. Tenant shall have the right to request for and obtain a CASp inspection, from time to time during the Term. Any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted (1) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on any business day, only after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of the date of such CASp inspection, in a professional manner by a CASp reasonably designated by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant and without any testing that would damage the Premises, Building or Land in any way, and (4) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, Tenant’s payment of the fee for such CASp inspection, the fee for any reports prepared by the CASp in connection with such CASp inspection (collectively, the “CASp Reports”) and all other costs and expenses in connection therewith. Tenant shall deliver a copy of any CASp Reports to Landlord within two (2) business days after Tenant’s receipt thereof; and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs to or within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards including, without limitation, any violations disclosed by such CASp inspection. If such CASp inspection identifies any improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards relating to those items of the Building located outside the Premises that are Landlord’s obligation to repair as set forth in this Lease, then Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform such improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs as and to the extent required by applicable laws to correct such violations.

Parked vehicles shall not be used for vending or any other business or other activity while parked in the parking areas.

SECTION 14: CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
14.1 Casualty. Prior to the Closing Date, and notwithstanding the pendency of this Agreement, the entire risk of loss or damage by fire or other casualty shall be borne and assumed by Seller, except as otherwise provided in this Section 14.1. Until the Closing has occurred, Seller shall keep all insurance policies in effect. If, prior to the Closing Date, any part of the Real Property or Improvements is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser of such fact. If such damage or destruction is material (as defined below), Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller’s notice whereupon neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. For purposes of this Section 14.1 “material” shall be deemed to be any uninsured damage or destruction to the Real Property and/or Improvements (except that a casualty shall not be deemed uninsured solely because all, or a portion of, the cost of the casualty is subject to a deductible) or any insured damage or destruction: (i) where the cost of repair or replacement is estimated, in Seller’s good faith judgment, to be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or more, or (ii) where the repair or replacement is estimated, in Seller’s good faith judgment, to require more than one hundred and eighty (180) days to repair. If Purchaser does not exercise this option to terminate this Agreement, or if the casualty is not material, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and the parties shall proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without modification of the terms of this Agreement and without any reduction in the Purchase Price, however, Seller, at Closing, shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all insurance proceeds payable and/or received with respect to such casualty (other than amounts expended by Seller for repairs) and an amount equal to the deductible amount with respect to the insurance (provided that if the balance of the casualty loss is less than the deductible, then only the amount of the loss shall be paid to Purchaser).
14.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take a “material portion” of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, either Purchaser or Seller may terminate this Agreement within fifteen (15) days of such taking or condemnation, in which case neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. If this Agreement is not terminated in accordance with the preceding sentence, Seller and Purchaser shall consummate the Closing, in which event all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority with respect to the Property shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take less than a “material portion” of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Property without reduction in the Purchase Price, and all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority with respect to the Property shall be assigned (or, as received, shall be delivered) to Purchaser at Closing. For purposes of this Section 14.2, a “material portion” of the Property shall mean any portion of the Property so taken which materially adversely affects the use and/or access to the Property in a manner which has reduced or may reasonably be expected to reduce the value of the Property by an amount equal to or greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price.
- 14 -
SECTION 15: BROKERS
Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that they have not dealt with any broker, finder or agent in connection with this transaction other than Lee & Associates - Central Valley, Inc. and CBRE Inc., (the “Broker”). Seller shall pay a commission to the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the other against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) resulting from a breach of said representation of the indemnifying party. The representations, warranties, undertakings and indemnities of this Section 15 shall survive the Closing hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 16: ASSIGNMENT
Purchaser shall not assign its rights under this Agreement without Seller’s written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written notice to Seller, Purchaser may, without Seller’s consent, assign this Agreement to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Purchaser. Notwithstanding any assignment by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 16, whether permitted or consented to by Seller, Purchaser shall remain liable for all of the obligations and indemnities on the part of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.
SECTION 17: DEFAULT/REMEDIES
17.1 Seller’s Default/Purchaser’s Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach by Seller under this Agreement, for any reason other than Purchaser’s default or failure to satisfy a condition to Closing for which Purchaser is responsible, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedies, may either (i) terminate this Agreement in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than Surviving Obligations; or (ii) initiate and prosecute an action for the specific performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and waive its right to prosecute an action for specific performance if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before thirty (30) days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting the claim or cause of action within sixty (60) days following the scheduled Closing Date.
17.2 Purchaser’s Default/Seller’s Remedies. If Purchaser shall default in the performance of its obligation to consummate the Closing or Purchaser breaches any of its representations, warranties or covenants pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, Seller may terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to retain the Earnest Money Deposit as liquidated damages and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the damages that would be sustained by Seller in the event of a breach by Purchaser of its obligations in the preceding sentence are difficult to determine and, in such event, that the Earnest Money Deposit represents a reasonable estimate of such damages and is not intended as a penalty.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Seller or Purchaser upon any breach under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach there to for or thereafter occurring.
