4. | RENT |
a. | Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly base rent in the initial amount in Section 1 which shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month ("Base Monthly Rent"); provided, however, the first month's rent and any partial month's rent is due and payable upon execution of this Lease. |
For purposes of Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code, the parties to this Lease hereby agree to allocate the stated rents, provided herein, to the periods which correspond to the actual rent payments as provided under the terms and conditions of this agreement.
b. | Rent Adjustment. |
Step Increase. The Base Monthly Rent shall be increased periodically by 2.5% as set forth in Section l.k.
c. | Expenses. The purpose of this Section 4.c is to ensure that Tenant bears all Expenses related to the use, maintenance, repair or replacement, utilities, taxes, and insurance of the Project. Accordingly, beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the costs of the Expenses related to the Project. |
1) | Expense Defined. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-3, the term "Expenses" shall mean all costs and expenses of the operation, maintenance, repair or replacement, utilities, taxes and insurance of the Project, including without limitation, the following costs: |
(a) | All supplies, materials, labor, equipment, and utilities used in or related to the operation and maintenance of the Project; |
(b) | All maintenance, management, common area janitorial, accounting, insurance, and service agreement costs related to the Project; |
- 4 -
(c) | All maintenance, replacement and repair costs relating to the areas within or around the Project, including, without limitation, air conditioning systems, sidewalks, landscaping, service areas, driveways, parking areas (including resurfacing and restriping parking areas), walkways, building exteriors (including painting), signs and directories, repairing and replacing roofs, walls, etc., as well as maintenance of the access roadway to the Project through the adjacent property. |
(d) | Amortization (along with commercially reasonable financing charges) of capital improvements (amortized over the useful life of said improvements) made to the Project which may be required by any governmental authority or which will improve the operating efficiency of the Project (provided, however, that the amount of such amortization for improvements not mandated by governmental authority shall not exceed in any year the amount of costs reasonably determined by Landlord to have been saved by the expenditure either through the reduction or minimization of increases which would have otherwise occurred). |
(e) | Real Property Taxes including all taxes, assessments (general and special) and other impositions or charges which may be taxed, charged, levied, assessed or imposed upon all or any portion of or in relation to the Project or any portion thereof, any leasehold estate in the Premises or measured by rent from the Premises including any increase caused by the transfer, sale or encumbrance of the Project or any portion thereof. "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any form of assessment, levy, penalty, charge or tax (other than estate, inheritance, net income, succession, transfer or franchise taxes) imposed by any authority having a direct or indirect power to tax or charge, including, without limitation, any city, county, state federal or any improvement or other district, whether such tax is (I) determined by the value of the Project or the rent or other sums payable under this Lease; (2) upon or with respect to any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project or any part thereof; (3) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating a transfer in any interest in the Project; (4) in lieu of or as a direct substitute in whole or in part of or in addition to any real property taxes on the Project; (5) based on any parking spaces or parking facilities provided in the Project; or (6) in consideration for services, such as police protection, fire protection, street, sidewalk and roadway maintenance, refuse removal or other services that may be provided by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency from time to time which were formerly provided without charge or with less charge to property owners or occupants. |
- 5 -
2) | Annual Estimate of Expenses. At the commencement of the Lease Landlord shall estimate the Expenses for the coming year. |
3) | Monthly Payment of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-3, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, such estimated expenses in monthly installments of one twelfth (1/12) beginning on Lease Commencement, and one-twelfth (1/12) on the first day of each succeeding calendar month. As soon as practical following each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare an accounting of actual Expenses incurred during the prior calendar year. If the additional rent paid by Tenant under this Section 4.c.3 during the preceding calendar year was less than the actual amount of the Expenses, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Such amount shall be deemed to have accrued during the prior calendar year and shall be due and payable from Tenant even though the term of this Lease has expired or this Lease has been terminated prior to Tenant's receipt of this notice, subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-4. Tenant shall have ninety (90) days from receipt of such notice to contest the amount due; failure to so notify Landlord shall represent final determination of the amount of the Expenses. If Tenant's payments were greater than the actual amount, then such overpayment shall be credited by Landlord to and abate an equal amount of rent due under this Section 4c3; provided that if the Lease has expired or terminated and no rent or other expense is due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, any such overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant at the same time that Landlord issues its statement of accounting to Tenant. |
4) | Rent Without Offset and Late Charge. All rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in advance on the first day of every calendar month, at the address shown in Section I, or such other place as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. All rent shall be paid without prior demand or notice and without any deduction or offset whatsoever except as otherwise provided for herein. Except as may otherwise be set forth herein, all rent shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America. Proration of rent due for any partial month shall be calculated by dividing the number of days in the month for which rent is due by the actual number of days in that month and multiplying by the applicable monthly rate. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such cost being extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received when due, Tenant shall pay to landlord an additional sum equal to ten (10%) percent of such overdue |
- 6 -
payment, subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-5. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment and that the late charge is in addition to any and all remedies available to Landlord and that the assessment and/or collection of the late charges shall not be deemed a waiver of any other default. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other sums, shall bear interest at the rate of twelve (12%) percent per annum, subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-5. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional $25.00 charge. Should a second payment be returned, Tenant agrees to make all future payments by cashier's check, money order, or certified check.
5. | FIRST MONTH'S RENT. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the prepaid rent set forth in Section 1 if applicable, and if Tenant is not in default of any provisions of this Lease, such prepaid rent shall be applied toward the rent due for the first month of the term. |
6. | CONTEST OF TAXES. Tenant, at its own cost and expense, may, if it shall in good faith so desire, contest by appropriate proceedings, to obtain a reduction in the assessed valuation of the Premises for tax purposes. In any such event, if Landlord agrees, at the request of Tenant, to join with Tenant at Tenant's expense in said proceedings and Landlord agrees to sign and deliver such papers and instruments as may be necessary to prosecute such proceedings, Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount of any such tax. Any tax savings realized as a result thereof shall be allocated to reduce Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the exclusive right to contest taxes in the final two (2) years of the term of this Lease. |
7. | USE OF PREMISES AND PROJECT FACILITIES. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Section I and for no other purpose without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, so long as the proposed use is (i) lawful and in conformance with zoning requirements, (ii) does not increase the potential for fire hazard, use of hazardous materials, insurance premiums, or other operating costs, and (iii) complies with the rules and regulations. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or with respect to the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant's business, nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises or the Project, except as provided in writing in this Lease. Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, orders and regulations affecting the Premises and the Project, including, without limitation, Exhibit "I," and any other rules and regulations that may be attached to this Lease and to any reasonable modifications to these rules and regulations as Landlord may adopt from time to time. Tenant shall not knowingly do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or bring or keep anything in the Premises that will in any way increase the premiums paid by Landlord on |
- 7 -
its insurance related to the Project. Tenant will not perform any act or carry on any practices that could result in damage to the Project. If sound insulation is required to muffle noise produced by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant at its own cost shall provide all necessary insulation. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-8, Tenant shall not do anything on the Premises which will overload any existing parking or service to the Premises. Pets and/or animals of any type, other than seeing eye dogs, shall not be kept on the Premises.

In the event Landlord has not used commercially reasonable diligence in completing said repairs within, subject to Tenant Delay and Construction Force Majeure (as such terms are defined in Exhibit "G"), one hundred and eighty (180) days of receipt of the Tenant Casualty Notice or such longer period of time as is reasonable under the circumstances though in no event more than two hundred and forty (240) days, then Tenant may elect to complete said repairs and offset the reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by Tenant in effecting said repairs against amounts due and payable pursuant to this Lease.
C. | Major Destruction. If the Landlord Casualty Notice reflects that Landlord has deemed a Casualty not of a nature that it can be restored within one hundred eighty (180) days (a "Major Destruction"), Landlord shall have not longer than two hundred and forty (240) days from the date Landlord received the Tenant Casualty Notice within which to make a written election as to whether to restore the Premises. In the event of a Major Destruction, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in Base Monthly Rent payable hereunder in proportion to the portion of the Premises which is rendered unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business during the period of time the portion of the Premises is unusable. Landlord, shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 17.2 below, promptly restore, repair, replace and rebuild the same to at least as good an order and condition that the same were in prior to the Casualty, with such changes or alterations (made in conformity with Section 14 hereof) as may be reasonably acceptable to Tenant or required by legal requirements. Such restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding, changes and alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs for the protection of the Premises, or any portion thereof, pending completion thereof are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Restoration." Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate this Lease in the event of a Casualty, except as set forth in Section 17.2 below. |

17.2 | TERMINATION OPTION IN CONNECTION WITH CASUALTY. |
A. | By Tenant. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing and provided such damages or Casualty is not the consequence of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or a Tenant-Related Party, Tenant may terminate the Lease with respect to the Building subject to the Casualty upon delivery of (a "Casualty Termination Notice") of its intention to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.2 on a date (the "Casualty Termination Date") which is a date specified by Tenant which is not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days after the giving of such Casualty Termination Notice should any of the following occur: |
(i) | In the event a Major Destruction has occurred and Landlord has not, within two hundred and forty (240) days from Landlord's receipt of the Tenant Casualty Notice, given notice of its election to restore the Building(s) subject to the Casualty. |
(ii) | In the event a Major Destruction has occurred and Landlord elected to restore the Building(s) subject to the Casualty, but failed, subject to Tenant Delay and Construction Force Majeure (as such terms are defined in Exhibit "G"), to complete said Restoration within eighteen (18) months from the date of its written notice to restore the Casualty. |
(iii) | In the event of the occurrence, during the last year of the term of the Lease, of any Casualty as a result of which (i) a Building has been rendered unsuitable for continued use and occupancy by Tenant and (ii) the costs of Restoration are reasonably determined to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the then current fair market value of such Building as reasonably determined by Landlord (and provided to Tenant) within thirty (30) days after the Casualty. |
In the event Tenant properly and timely executes and delivers the Casualty Termination Notice, Landlord shall not be obligated to rebuild, restore or repair the Building, the Lease shall be modified to cease and come to an end on the Casualty Termination Date for the Building subject to said Casualty but continue in full force and effect with respect to the other Building. Upon such a termination with respect to one Building, the term of the Lease for the Building subject to the Casualty shall end as if the date of termination were the date originally specified for expiration of the Lease while the Lease will continue with respect to the Building not subject to the Casualty, with the Rent revised to reflect the Premises Area at such time continuing to be subject to the Lease.
B. | By Landlord. Landlord may terminate the Lease with respect to the Building subject to the Casualty upon delivery of a Casualty Termination |
- 25 -
Notice of its intention to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.2 on a Casualty Termination Date which is a date specified by Landlord which is not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days after the giving of such Casualty Termination Notice under the following circumstances:
(i) | In the event a Major Destruction has occurred and Landlord elects, within two hundred and forty (240) days from Landlord's receipt of the Tenant Casualty Notice, not to restore the Building because (x) the net insurance proceeds made available to Landlord (by the insurance carrier and any party the beneficiary of a deed of trust on the Project securing acquisition and/or construction financing for the Project holding) for the Restoration, plus $2,000,000 to be contributed for such Restoration costs by Landlord, are insufficient to complete the Restoration or (y) the remaining term of the Lease is for less than five (5) years unless Tenant at such time agrees in writing to exercise one of its renewal options set forth in Section 1.1, to the extent one remains unused. With respect to (y) above, in the event Tenant has no renewal options remaining at the time of the Casualty Termination Notice, Tenant may nevertheless elect to extend the Lease such that the remaining term of the Lease is extended to five (5) years, with rent payable for any years of extension being subject to rent escalation as is in place at the time of its election to extend the term. |
(ii) | In the event of the occurrence, during the last year of the term of the Lease, of any Casualty as a result of which (x) a Building has been rendered unsuitable for continued use and occupancy by Tenant and (y) the costs of Restoration are reasonably determined to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the then current fair market value of such Building as reasonably determined by Landlord (and provided to Tenant) within thirty (30) days after the Casualty, then, Landlord shall have the right and option to elect to terminate this Lease, but only with respect to said Building. |
In the event Landlord properly and timely executes and delivers the Casualty Termination Notice, Landlord shall not be obligated to rebuild, restore or repair the Building, the Lease shall be modified to cease and come to an end on the Casualty Termination Date for the Building subject to said Casualty but continue in full force and effect with respect to the other Building. Upon such a termination with respect to one Building, the term of the Lease for the Building subject to the Casualty shall end as if the date of termination were the date originally specified for expiration of the Lease while the Lease will continue with respect to the Building not subject to the Casualty, with the Rent revised to reflect the Premises Area at such time continuing to be subject to the Lease.
- 26 -
17.3 | CONFLICT. |
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 17 are the result of arms' length negotiations between Landlord and Tenant and that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 17 and any statutory or common law rights of termination which may arise by reason of any partial or total destruction of the Premises, including the provisions of A.R.S. § 33-343, the provisions of this Section 17 shall prevail.
18. | CONDEMNATION. |
a. | Definitions. The following definitions shall apply. (1) "Condemnation" means (a) the exercise of any governmental power of eminent domain, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise by condemnor and (b) the voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are proceeding; (2) "Date of Taking" means the date the condemnor has right to possession of the property being condemned; (3) "Award" means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation; and (4) "Condemnor" means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having power of condemnation. |
b. | Obligations to be Governed by Lease. If during the term of the Lease there is any taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Project, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined pursuant to this Lease. |
c. | Total or Partial Taking. If the Premises are totally taken by condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking. If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant can elect to terminate this Lease if the remaining portion of the Premises is rendered unsuitable for Tenant's continued use of Premises. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant must exercise its right to terminate by giving notice to Landlord within 30 days after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than 30 days nor later than 90 days after Tenant has notified Landlord of its election to terminate; except that this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking if the date of taking falls on a date before the date of termination as designated by Tenant. If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease remains in full force and effect, on the date of taking the rent shall be reduced by an amount in the same ratio as the total number of square feet in the Premises taken bears to the total number of square feet in the Premises immediately before the date of taking. |
d. | See Exhibit "K," R-12. |

19. | ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE. |
19.1 | GENERAL RULES. |
Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-13, Tenant shall not (i) assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Premises or (ii) sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow any other person or entity (except Tenant's authorized representatives, employees, invitees or guests) to occupy or use any part of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be voidable and at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default. If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law of any partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported assignment, voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law from one person to the other shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of at least 50% of the value of the assets of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. The phrase "controlling percentage" means ownership of and right to vote stock possessing at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for election of directors. This Section 19 shall not apply to a corporation, the stock of which is traded through an exchange or over the counter. Fifty (50%) percent of the net rent received by Tenant from its subtenants in excess of the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, after first deducting Tenant's reasonable costs associated with arranging for a sublease or assignment, shall be paid to Landlord, or any sums to be paid by an assignee to Tenant in consideration of the assignment of this Lease shall be paid to Landlord. If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than sixty (60) days to consider the request prior to the date that is the earlier of the date the proposed assignee or sublessee occupies the any portion of the Premises or signs an agreement with Tenant to do the same. No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary assignment through operation of law (including without limitation the transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) if Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt; or if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or the person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (b) if a Writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or if in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant.

g. | Any mortgagee of the Building will consent to the proposed transfer if such consent is required under the relevant mortgage documents. |
h. | Except as approved by Landlord, the proposed use of the Premises will not materially increase the operating costs for the Building or the burden on the Building services, or generate additional foot traffic, elevator usage, parking areas usage, or security concerns in the Building, or create an increased possibility that the comfort or safety, or both, of Landlord and the other occupants of the Building will be compromised or reduced. |

- 30 -
Tenant, unless possession is restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days, or any execution or other judicially authorized seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets located upon the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, unless the seizure is discharged within sixty (60) days.
G. | An event of default occurs under the terms of the Guaranty (the "Guaranty") of even date herewith executed by Guarantor relating to this Lease or the Guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect. |
21. | LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Lease default by Tenant, Landlord has, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue without any further notice or demand whatsoever any one or more of the following remedies, each of which will be cumulative and non-exclusive: |
A. | Notice of Election. Landlord shall have the right at its election, then or at any time while such Lease default shall continue, to give written notice of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease on the date specified in such notice. Upon the giving of such notice, the term of the Lease and the estate hereby granted shall automatically expire and terminate at midnight on the date set out in such notice as fully and completely and with the same effect as if such date were the date herein fixed for the expiration of the term of the Lease Term, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. |
B. | Re-enter and Repossess. If a Lease default shall have happened and be continuing, Landlord shall have the immediate right (but shall not be obligated), whether or not the term of the Lease shall have been terminated, to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises and to re-enter and repossess the Premises by summary proceedings, ejectment or in any manner Landlord determines to be necessary or desirable and the right to remove all persons and property therefrom other than those persons and their property then subject to a non-disturbance and attornment agreement with Landlord. To the extent permitted by law, Landlord shall incur no liability by reason of any such re-entry, repossession or removal. No such re-entry or repossession of the Premises shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate the term of the Lease unless a notice of such election is given to Tenant pursuant to Section 21.a, or unless such termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. |
C. | Rights After Re-entry and Repossession. At any time or from time to time after the re-entry and repossession of the Premises pursuant to Section 21.b, whether or not the term of the Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 21.a, Landlord may (but shall to obligated to) relet the Premises (or any portion thereof) for the account of Tenant or Landlord in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant, for such term or terms and on such conditions and for such uses |
- 31 -
in each instance as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting and apply the amounts so collected to any sums due Landlord by Tenant, but any amount so collected by Landlord in excess of sums due to Landlord by Tenant shall belong to and may be retained by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to relet the Premises or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting.
D. | Survival of Liability. No expiration or termination of the term of the Lease pursuant to Section 21.a, by operation of law or otherwise, no reentry and repossession of the Premises pursuant to Section 21.b or otherwise, and no reletting of the Premises pursuant to Section 21.c or otherwise, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, assignment, reentry, repossession or reletting. |
E. | Lease Terminated. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 21.a above by reason of the occurrence of a default, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages and in lieu of all current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to (I) the worth of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of Tenant's right to possession; plus (2) the worth of the amount of the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of Tenant's right to possession less the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) any other amount, including but not limited to, expenses incurred to relet the premises, court, attorney and collection costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by Tenant's default. "The Worth," as used for Item 21.e.(1) in this Section 21.e is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of 12% per annum. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. The Worth is used for Item 21.e.(2) in this Section is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of termination of Tenant's right of possession. |
F. | Cumulative Remedies. No right or remedy hereunder shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing. |
G. | No Waiver of Remedies. Failure to insist upon the strict performance of any provision hereof or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained herein shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. |
- 32 -
H. | Application of Funds. Landlord may apply any sums otherwise payable to Tenant under the terms of this Lease to any Rent then due and payable hereunder; if no Rent is then due and payable, then so long as the Lease default continues Landlord may withhold such sums to be applied to Rent accruing thereafter. |
I. | Landlord's Right to Cure Default. If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations arising under the terms of this Lease within a reasonable time after Landlord delivers notice to Tenant that Tenant is delinquent in respect of that performance, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, make any payment or perform any act on Tenant's part in order to satisfy the obligation with respect to which Tenant is delinquent without waiving its rights arising by reason of Tenant's default and without releasing Tenant from its obligations. |
J. | Payments by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within five (5) days after Landlord's delivery to Tenant of its statements the amount of the expenditures Landlord made and the expenses Landlord incurred in connection with Landlord's rectification of Tenant's defaults in accordance with the provisions of Section 21.i. Tenant's obligations under this Section 21.j will survive the Lease Termination Date. |
K. | Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Section 21, Tenant's right to possession will not be terminated by Landlord's efforts to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by the appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts that Landlord may perform without terminating Tenant's right to possession. Landlord will have no obligation to relet the Premises other than as may be imposed by applicable legal requirements but if Landlord chooses or is required to attempt to relet the Premises, Landlord may do so on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole, good faith judgment deems acceptable. In any proceedings to enforce this Lease, Landlord will be presumed to have used commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises if Landlord is required to do so, and Tenant will bear the burden of proof to establish otherwise. For the purpose of any such reletting Landlord is authorized to decorate or to make any repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Premises as may be necessary or desirable. Landlord reserves the right, however (x) to refuse to lease all or portions of the Premises to any potential tenant that does not meet Landlord's standards and criteria for leasing other comparable space, and (y) to reconfigure the Premises and lease only portions thereof or lease all or part of the Premises in combination with other space. In no event shall Tenant's Net Obligations be less than zero. |
22. | ENTRY ON PREMISES. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K." R-15, Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises upon prior written |
- 33 -
consent during normal business hours except in the case of an emergency for any of the following purposes: (a) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) to do any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration to the Premises or the Project that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform; (c) to post "for sale" signs at any time during the term, to post "for rent" or "for lease" signs during the last 180 days of the term, or during any period while Tenant is in default; (d) to show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, tenants or persons interested in leasing or purchasing the Premises, as appropriate; or (e) to repair, maintain or improve the Project and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or other damage arising out of Landlord's entry onto the Premises as provided in this Section 22, except as set forth in Exhibit "K," R-15. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Section 22, except as set forth in Exhibit "K," R-15. Landlord shall conduct his activities on the Premises as provided herein in a manner that will cause the least inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant. For each of these purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes. Tenant shall not alter any lock or install a new or additional lock or bolt on any door of the Premises without prior written consent of Landlord. If Landlord gives its consent, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a key for any such lock.
23. | SUBORDINATION. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-16, and at the election of Landlord or any mortgagee or any beneficiary of a Deed of Trust with a lien on the Project or any ground lessor with respect to the Project, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (a) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Project, and (b) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which the Project, ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items is specified as security. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-16, in the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or Deed of Trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorn to and become Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit "K," R-16, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground lease or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or Deed of Trust. |
Tenant, within twenty (20) days from notice from Landlord, shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in recordable form, certificates stating that this Lease is not in default, is unmodified and in full force and effect or noting any objections thereto, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications. This certificate should also state the amount of current monthly rent, the dates to which rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any security deposit and prepaid rent. Failure to deliver this certificate to
- 34 -
Landlord within twenty (20) days shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by Landlord.
24. | NOTICE. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval or communication desired by either party or required to be given, shall be in writing and served either personally or sent by prepaid certified first class mail, addressed as set forth in Section 1 and to any Lender with which Tenant has entered into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement. Either party may change its address by notification to the other party. Notice shall be deemed to be effective when notice is received or upon proof of refusal to accept service thereof. |
25. | WAIVER. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord or Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act or conduct of Landlord, including without limitation, acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the term. Only written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish termination of the Lease. Either party's consent to or approval of any act by such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary such party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act requiring same. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of the Lease. |
26. | SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER. Upon expiration of the term, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all Tenant Improvements and alterations in good condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, casualty damage and alterations Tenant has the right or is obligated to remove under the provisions of Section 14 herein. Tenant shall remove all personal property from the Premises, and shall perform all restoration made necessary by the removal of any alterations or Tenant's personal property before the expiration of the term, including for example, restoring all wall surfaces to their condition prior to the commencement of this Lease. Landlord can elect to retain or dispose of in any manner Tenant's personal property not removed from the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the term. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord's retention or disposition of Tenant's personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord's reasonable costs for storage, removal or disposal of Tenant's personal property. If Tenant, with Landlord's consent, remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or termination of the term, or after the date in any notice given by Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease, such possession by Tenant shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on written 30 day notice at any time by either party. All provisions of this Lease, except those pertaining to term and rent, shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy. Tenant shall, for the initial ninety (90) days, pay monthly rent in an amount equal to 125% of Rent for the last full calendar month during the regular term plus 100% of said last month's estimate of the Expenses pursuant to Section 4.c.3. If Tenant remains without consent past the initial ninety (90) days following the end of the Term of the Lease, Landlord shall receive rent in an amount equal to 150% of rent for |
- 35 -
the last full month plus 100% at said last month's expenses pursuant to Section 4.c.3 plus all damages and reasonable costs associated with the unauthorized occupancy and forcible eviction process.
27. | LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant agrees that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default of this Lease by Landlord, if Landlord is a limited liability company or corporation and provided that Landlord maintains equity in the Project and/or other assets valued at a minimum of $500,000.00: |

- 36 -
shall comply promptly with that standard or regulation at its sole cost and expense. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or Tenant's admission in any judicial action that Tenant has violated any of those governmental measures with respect to which it has an obligation to comply under the terms of Section 7 and this Section 28, regardless of whether Landlord is a party to that action, will be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
b. | Landlord's Obligations. Except to the extent of Tenant's obligation under Section 28.a above and with respect to specific requirements due to Tenant's specific use of the Premises, Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with Applicable Laws with respect to the Project and the Premises. |
29. | MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. |

e. | Other Charges. If either party becomes a party to any litigation concerning this Lease, the Premises or the Project, by reason of any act or omission of the other party or such party's authorized representatives, said party shall be liable for reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred by the other party in the litigation. If any suit, action, arbitration or other proceeding, including, without limitation, an appellate proceeding ("proceeding(s)") is instituted in connection with any controversy, dispute, default or breach arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, from the losing or defaulting party, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, paralegals and witnesses) incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such proceeding, whether or not the proceeding is prosecuted to a final judgment or determination; provides, however, if there is no clear prevailing party, such fees, costs and expenses shall be borne as determined by the finder of fact. |
If either party commences any litigation against the other party or files an appeal of a decision arising out of or in connection with the Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorney's fees and cost of suit. If Landlord employs a collection agency to recover delinquent charges, Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable collection agency and reasonable
- 37 -
attorneys' fees charged to Landlord in addition to rent, late charges, interest and other sums payable under this Lease.
f. | Landlord's Successors. If in the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Project, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any liability under this Lease, and in such event Landlord's successor in interest shall be solely responsible for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease. |
g. | Interpretation. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state in which the premises are located. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Premises and the Project, except for such guarantees or modifications as may be executed in writing by the parties from time to time. When required by the context of this Lease, the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine shall include the feminine and/or neuter. "Party" shall mean Landlord or Tenant. If more than one person or entity constitutes Landlord or Tenant, the obligations imposed upon that party shall be joint and several. The enforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid or illegal. |
30. | SUBDIVISION. Landlord shall not, without Tenant's approval, effect or cause to be effected a legal subdivision of the real property constituting the Project such that additional buildings other than the Buildings may be constructed on the Project to accommodate other tenants or occupants except where such usage is for landscaping and/or property management of the Project. |
31. | INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. |
32. | OPTION TO EXTEND. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, provided Tenant is not in default, Tenant shall have the option to renew the Lease for two (2) consecutive five (5) year periods at 95% of the then current market rate, as set forth in Exhibit "K," R-18. Tenant must give Landlord written notice of Tenant's intent to exercise the each renewal option not less than twelve (12) months and not more than fifteen (15) months before the expiration of the then current portion of the term of the Lease.

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT
LANDLORD: | US REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Texas |
limited partnership
TENANT: | THE UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX, INC., an Arizona |
corporation
DATE: | June 29, 2009 |
RECITALS
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Work Letter Agreement (the "Work Letter"), Landlord and Tenant have entered into a lease (the "Lease") covering certain leased premises (the "Premises") in the buildings to be constructed in accordance with this Work Letter located at 1625 Fountainhead Parkway, Tempe, Arizona 85282 ("Office A") and 1601 Fountainhead Parkway, Tempe, Arizona 85282 ("Office B") (each, a "Building" and collectively the "Buildings"), as more particularly described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.
B. To induce Tenant to enter into the Lease (which is hereby incorporated by reference to the extent that the provisions of the Lease apply hereto) and in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. | Base Buildings. |
a. | Landlord will construct the Buildings referenced above in accordance with (i) all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, governmental and quasi-governmental laws and local codes including, without limitation, O.S.H.A. rules and regulations, the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and/or any comparable state statutes ("Applicable Laws"); (ii) all private covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Building ("Deed Restrictions"), if any; and (iii) in accordance with the approved Final Base Plans as they may be modified from time to time by change orders as set forth in Paragraph 7. Each "Base Building" will include all base, shell and core improvements and all improvements to the common areas of the Buildings, all as more specifically set forth in Schedule 1 to this Work Letter. The Base Buildings shall be constructed for LEED certification. |
b. | The total cost of construction of the Base Buildings (the "Base Costs") is anticipated to be Fifty-Eight Million Eight Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Eight and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($58,825,738.00) (the "Base Improvement Allowance"). Landlord shall |
bear the responsibility for Base Costs in excess of the Base Improvement Allowance except as set forth in Paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 7.
2. | Tenant Improvements. |
a. | "Tenant Improvements" shall include all work to be done within the Premises other than the Base Building as set forth in Schedule 1 to this Work Letter in accordance with the standards and furnishes set forth in Schedule 2 to this Work Letter. |
b. | Landlord will cause to be furnished an allowance in an amount equal to Thirty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($35.00) per rentable square foot of the Rentable Area contained within the Premises (the "TI Improvement Allowance"), to be applied against the total costs of the Tenant Improvements (the "TI Costs"). To the extent the TI Costs incurred (or reasonably expected to be incurred) exceed the TI Improvement Allowance, less any costs associated with a Landlord-initiated Change Order unless such Landlord-initiated Change Order is directly related to a change required by governmental authorities due to the Tenant's specific usage of the Building (such excess, the "Excess TI Costs"), Tenant must pay such overage to Landlord as payment for such work is due and payable to the General Contractor, subject to a ten percent (l 0%) holdback of the overage until all punch list items have been completed. |
3. | Parties' Responsibilities. |
a. | Landlord's Responsibilities. Landlord will be responsible for the preparation of plans and construction drawings for the Base Buildings and will submit same to Tenant for approval as provided in Paragraphs 4 and 5 below. Landlord will be responsible for providing Tenant with all information, documents and plans (including plans and construction drawings for the Base Building) for Tenant's architect to use in preparing space plans and working drawings for the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord shall be responsible for any costs or delays caused if such information, documents and plans to be provided by Landlord are not accurate and complete. Upon approval of all plans by both parties, Landlord will construct the Base Building and the Tenant Improvements. Landlord will be responsible for ensuring that all of the work done both to construct and prepare the Base Building and to construct and prepare the Premises shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with all Applicable Laws and Deed Restrictions (if any), and in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as they may be modified from time to time by change orders as set forth in Paragraph 7 and construction schedules. All Tenant Improvements will be done to the standards and using the materials and finishes set forth in the Final TI Plans and/or in Schedule 2 to this Work Letter, as applicable. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure completion of all work |
in a timely manner so that Tenant is able to occupy the Premises in Office B on or before June 1, 2011 (the "Office B Scheduled Delivery Date") and the Premises in Office A on or before November 1, 2011 (the "Office A Scheduled Delivery Date") (each, a "Scheduled Delivery Date" and collectively, the "Scheduled De1ivery Dates").
b. | Tenant's Responsibilities. Tenant shall be responsible for the preparation and approval of preliminary space plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements in sufficient detail ("Space Plans") so as to enable Landlord to estimate the TI Costs. Tenant shall be responsible for the preparation and approval of the final construction drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements ("Working Drawings") and for any costs or delays caused if such information, documents and plans are not accurate and complete. Tenant shall also be responsible for the review and approval of the Base Building Plans and the Tenant Improvement Plans as provided in Paragraph 5 below, and for the payment of (i) the excess of the Base Costs over the Base Improvement Allowance to the extent due to Tenant-initiated changes to the Preliminary Building Plans under Paragraph 4.a or Tenant-initiated Change Orders under Paragraph 7.b, and (ii) any Excess TI Costs. |
c. | Mutual Cooperation. The parties agree to work together and to cooperate reasonably with one another so as to facilitate the completion of the Base Buildings and of all Tenant Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Work Letter. In connection with exercising its review and approval rights under any provision of this Work better, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be (the "Reviewing Party"), must act in good faith, with due diligence, and in a commercially reasonable manner. Upon the Reviewing Party's receipt of any submission from the other party (the "Submitting Party"), the Reviewing Party shall review the submission and shall give the Submitting Party notice of the Reviewing Party's approval or disapproval and the reasons for any disapproval. The Reviewing Party must deliver that notice promptly, but in no event later than ten (l0) Business Days after the date of its receipt of the submission. The Reviewing Party's right to disapprove any submission is limited to those elements of the submission: (i) that do not conform substantially to matters previously approved; or (ii) that are new elements not previously presented; or (iii) that depict matters that are violations of the Lease or Applicable Laws, or (iv) as otherwise specifically set forth below. If the Reviewing Party disapproves of the submission within the time period specified above, the Submitting Party may alter its submission to satisfy the Reviewing Party's objections and make a re-submission to the Reviewing Party within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Submitting Party's receipt of the notice of disapproval. Any resubmission will be subject to review and approval by the Reviewing Party in accordance with the procedures described in this Paragraph 3.c. for an original submission except that the time period for review and response by |
the Reviewing Party will be five (5) Business Days rather than ten (10) Business Days. The Reviewing Party's failure to give the Submitting Party notice of approval or disapproval within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of a submission or within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of a re-submission will constitute approval of the submission or resubmission, as the case may be.
4. | Base Building Plans. |
a. | Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that attached as Schedule 3 hereto are preliminary plans and specifications for the Base Building (the "Baseline Plans"). No later than two hundred forty (240) days following the date of the Lease, Landlord shall provide to Tenant initial plans and construction drawings for the completion of the Base Buildings ("Preliminary Building Plans"), which Preliminary Building Plans shall not deviate from the Baseline Plans in any way that would have a material impact on Tenant's intended use and occupancy of the Premises. The Preliminary Buildings Plans may, but need not be, permitted by applicable governmental authorities at the time of delivery to Tenant. |
Tenant shall review the same and notify Landlord in writing of either its approval of the Preliminary Building Plans or of any modifications that Tenant may reasonably require for its intended use and .occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall make any such required modifications at no cost to Tenant so long as such changes (x) do not cause, and are not reasonably expected by Landlord to cause, the Base Costs to exceed the Base Improvement Allowance or (y) are necessary due to a deviation from the Baseline Plans that will have a material impact on Tenant's intended use and occupancy of the Premises. The costs of changes to the Baseline Plans required for compliance with Applicable Laws shall be borne by Landlord, provided, however, that if a change is attributable not to an office building in general but due to Tenant's specific intended use of the Building, the cost of any such change shall be borne by Tenant.
So long as any such Tenant request does not cause, and is not reasonably expected by Landlord to cause, the Base Costs to exceed the Base Improvement Allowance or if such changes are necessary to resolve any deviation between the Baseline Plans and the Preliminary Building Plans or if such changes are intended to prevent a material impact on Tenant's intended use and occupancy of the Premises, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of Tenant's requested changes. If Landlord objects to any modifications required by Tenant in the Preliminary Building Plans which modifications are not required to resolve a deviation from the Baseline Plans that will have a material impact on Tenant's intended use and occupancy of the Premises, the parties shall promptly confer to resolve all issues related to the Preliminary Building Plans. In the event Tenant requests a change to the
Preliminary Building Plans that causes, or is reasonably expected to cause, the Base Costs to exceed the Base Improvement Allowance and such changes are not necessary to resolve a deviation from the Baseline Plans, Landlord may condition its approval of such change on Tenant's agreement to pay for the Excess Base Costs relating to such change. If Landlord has so conditioned its approval to a change on Tenant's agreement to pay the Excess Base Costs, Tenant may (x) withdraw its change request or (y) agree to pay the amount of the Excess Base Cost relating to the change request in accordance with Paragraph 2.b.
b. | Once approved by both Landlord and Tenant, the Preliminary Building Plans, as modified prior to mutual approval, shall be deemed the "Base Building Plans." Reference to "Base Building Plans" shall refer to such plans as amended pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter. |
5. | Tenant Improvement Plans. |
a. | Within forty-five (45) days after the date the parties agree upon and approve the Base Building Plans, Tenant shall cause its architect to prepare Space Plans for the Premises and submit the Space Plans to Landlord for approval. If Landlord objects to any elements of the Space Plans or the work contemplated thereby, the parties shall promptly confer to resolve all issues related to the Space Plans and the Tenant Improvements, provided, however, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its approval of the Space Plans. Landlord may reasonably withhold its approval of the Space Plans if Landlord reasonably believes that Tenant Improvements as set forth in the Space Plans would (a) have an adverse impact on the outside appearance of the Building(s) or the Project, (b) adversely impact the structural integrity of the Building(s), (c) create a hazard or increase the likelihood of claims against the owner of the Building(s) or the Project, (d) diminish the value of the Building(s), (e) materially and adversely affect the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical or life safety systems serving the affected Building or any other portion of the Premises, or (1) the Space Plans would require changes to the Base Building as set forth in the Base Building Plans and Tenant refuses to agree to pay for said changes. |
b. | Within ninety (90) days after approval, or deemed approval, of the Space Plans by both parties, Tenant shall cause its architect to prepare final Working Drawings, shall review and approve such Working Drawings, and shall submit the same to Landlord for approval, which approval will not unreasonably withheld. Landlord may reasonably withhold its approval of the Working Drawings if Landlord reasonably believes the deviations between the Space Plans and the Working Drawings would (a) have an adverse impact on the outside appearance of the Building(s) or the Project, (b) adversely impact the structural integrity of the Building(s), (c) create a hazard or increase the likelihood of claims against the owner of |
the Building(s) or the Project, (d) diminish the value of the Building(s), (e) materially and adversely affect the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical or life safety systems serving the affected Building or any other portion of the Premises, or (1) the Working Drawings would require changes to the Base Building as set forth in the Base Building Plans and Tenant refuses to agree to pay for said changes. The costs of any changes required to be made to the Base Building Plans due to differences between the Working Drawings and the Space Plans shall be borne by Tenant. If Tenant objects to any modifications requested by Landlord to the Working Drawings, the parties shall promptly confer to resolve all issues related thereto. Once so approved by both parties, the Working Drawings shall be referred to collectively herein as the "Tenant Improvement Plans." Reference to "Tenant Improvement Plans" shall refer to such plans as amended pursuant to the terms of the Work Letter.
c. | Once approved by both parties, the Tenant Improvement Plans shall not be changed without Landlord's and Tenant's prior written consent. If any material change is necessary in the Tenant Improvement Plans due to requirements of any Applicable Laws, Landlord shall consult with Tenant to develop an approach to meeting any such requirements that is acceptable to Tenant. Any Excess TI Costs attributable to changes in Applicable Laws prior to Substantial Completion shall be borne by Tenant. |
d. | If Landlord requests material revisions to a submission that are not specifically considered to be reasonable under the conditions set forth in Paragraph 5.a or 5.b then Tenant may terminate the Lease upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice. Upon termination, neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder. |
6. | Selection of Contractor/Final Budget. |
a. | Not later than ten (10) days after approval of the Tenant Improvement Plans by both parties, Landlord shall select a general contractor for the construction of the Base Building and a general contractor for the construction Tenant Improvements, in each case who is a licensed contractor qualified to handle a project of this scope and complexity and capable of securing appropriate bonding and insurance (each, and collectively as the context dictates, the "General Contractor"). Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to utilize one general contractor for both the Base Buildings and the Tenant Improvements but shall not be obligated to do so. Landlord's notice of selection of General Contractor shall include the profit and overhead percentage for both the Base Building and the Tenant Improvements and the cost of general conditions for both the Base Building and Tenant Improvements as proposed by the General Contractor. Tenant shall thereafter have the right to approve Landlord's final selection of the General Contractor, such approval not to be |
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Tenant shall not be considered to be unreasonable in disapproving a General Contractor if the cost of general conditions and the profit and overhead of the General Contractor are in excess of reasonable costs for such items in the same general market as the Project or if the profit and overhead for the Tenant Improvements (as a percentage of the total costs) exceeds the profit and overhead for the Base Building. Notwithstanding Paragraph 3.d., a failure by Tenant to affirmatively approve or disapprove the Contractor selected by Landlord within ten (l0) business days of receipt of notice of Landlord's selection shall be deemed to be an approval of said General Contractor. If Tenant reasonably disapproves a General Contractor, Tenant may elect to negotiate with the General Contractor and Landlord to reduce the profit and overhead and/or general conditions amount. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement with respect to Landlord's selected General Contractor within fifteen (15) days of the commencement of negotiations between Tenant, General Contractor and Landlord and if Landlord is unwilling to select a different General Contractor for the construction of the Tenant Improvements the parties shall resolve the dispute regarding the General Contractor under Paragraph II below. Landlord shall cause General Contractor to secure a minimum of three (3) bids for each subcontractor in each major trade. Landlord shall promptly submit the bids to Tenant and Tenant and Landlord shall thereafter mutually select the subcontractors for the performance of the Tenant Improvements. General Contractor shall comply with the insurance requirements in Schedule 4.
b. | As the Preliminary Building Plans, Base Building Plans, Working Drawings, and Tenant Improvement Plans are refined during the completion of each successive set of said plans, Landlord, its architect(s), and the General Contractor shall provide value engineering services in an effort to maintain (x) the Base Costs to an amount no greater than the Base Improvement Allowance and (y) a budget for the Tenant Improvements no greater than the Tenant Improvement Allowance (the "TI Budget") (the Base Improvement Allowance and TI Budget together referred to as the "Final Project Budget"). The Final Project Budget shall include the costs of documentation, certification, and registration of the Base Building with respect to the LEED certification, |
c. | Value Engineering on Base Buildings. Landlord may, by providing written notice to Tenant within five (5) business days after its receipt of the proposed Final Project Budget, elect to have the parties work with together with the General Contractor on value engineering approaches to reduce the proposed Base Costs ("Value Engineering" or the "Value Engineering process"). The Value Engineering process shall not exceed ten (10) business days (the "Value Engineering Period") from the date of Landlord's request to perform Value Engineering. Landlord shall, and shall cause its project architect and the General Contractor to, use best and |
most diligent commercially reasonable efforts to respect the basic design of the Base Buildings and the materials to be used in construction while addressing the budget concerns of Landlord during the Value Engineering Period. At the end of the Value Engineering Period, after best and diligent commercially reasonable efforts by Landlord, the project's architect, the General Contractor, and Tenant to reduce the proposed Base Costs, then, so long as such revisions do not adversely impact Tenant's proposed use and occupancy of the Premises in any material manner, the Base Building Plans (as refined during the Value Engineering Period) shall be deemed to be the "Final Base Plans." If revisions to the Base Building Plans through Value Engineering will materially and adversely impact Tenant's proposed use and occupancy of the Premises, Tenant must approve such revisions.
d. | Value Engineering on Tenant Improvements. Tenant may, by providing written notice to Landlord, within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of the proposed Final Project Budget, elect to have the parties work together with General Contractor on Value Engineering to reduce the proposed TI Costs. Landlord shall, and shall cause its project architect and the General Contractor and Tenant shall and shall cause its architect to use best and most diligent commercially reasonable efforts to respect the basic design of the Tenant Improvements and the materials to be used in construction while addressing the budget concerns of the parties during the Value Engineering Period. At the end of the Value Engineering Period, after best and diligent commercially reasonable efforts by the parties, the project's architect, Tenant's architect and the General Contractor to reduce the proposed TI Costs, the Tenant Improvement Plans (as refined during the Value Engineering Period) shall be deemed to be the "Final TI Plans" and submitted to Tenant for approval. The parties acknowledge that the Value Engineering Process may not be successful in achieving any cost savings. Collectively, the Final Base Plans and the Final TI Plans are referred to hereinafter the "Plans and Specifications." |
e. | Landlord will endeavor to provide Tenant with the benefit of consolidated bidding of both Base Buildings and Tenant Improvement items wherever applicable and/or feasible so as to reduce Base Costs and TI Costs by taking advantage of volume and other benefits, economies of scale and discounts accorded to Landlord by General Contractor. The foregoing shall not, however, constitute a representation, covenant, or guarantee that any such savings will in fact be achieved. |
7. | Change Orders. |
a. | Landlord reserves the right to make changes and modifications to the Plans and Specifications from time to time. If the proposed change (i) will not cause Substantial Completion of either Building to be delayed to a date which is after the then applicable Scheduled Delivery Date for such |
Building, (ii) will not cause a change to the Final TI Plans, and (iii) is not a material downgrade from or scope change to the Final Base Plans as they then exist, Landlord may implement such change without obtaining Tenant's consent (but Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of such change prior to making such change, with such notice to be accompanied by a copy of the pertinent Change Order [or other evidence of such change] and reasonable support for Landlord's determination that such change satisfies the criteria set out in this sentence). If the proposed change does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the preceding sentence, Tenant approval shall be required prior to implementation of such proposed change. Tenant may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any such proposed change to the Final Base Plans and Tenant shall cause Tenant's architect to revise the Final TI Plans, at Landlord's cost, to comply with the revisions to the Final Base Plans. Tenant must approve, which approval may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, any change in the Final TI Plans initiated by Landlord. If Landlord initiates a change in the Plans and Specifications, Landlord shall be responsible for any actual increase in the cost of the construction of said improvements caused by such change and such costs shall not be considered to be Excess TI Costs and any increase in the Base Costs shall be considered to be a commensurate increase in the Base Improvement Allowance.
b. | Tenant reserves the right to make written requests for changes to the Final TI Plans. If the proposed change to the Final TI Plans (i) will not cause Substantial Completion of either Building to be delayed to a date which is after the then applicable Scheduled Delivery Date for such Building, and (ii) is not a material downgrade from or scope change to the Final TI Plans as they then exist, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of such change. If the proposed change does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the preceding sentence, Landlord may, in its discretion, decline to approve such proposed change.

c. | Before implementing any change to the Plans and Specifications, Landlord will submit to Tenant, in the form of a proposed Change Order, a statement of the Change Order Cost that will occur by virtue of that change and a statement of the terms and conditions under which Landlord will undertake to implement the proposed change, including, without limitation, the effect that implementation of the proposed change will have on the Scheduled Delivery Date of the Buildings. Subject to General Contractor's having responded to Landlord's pricing query in a timely manner, Landlord must make its submission within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant's submission of the requested change to Landlord or simultaneously with Landlord's submission of a requested change to |
Tenant. Notwithstanding Paragraph 3.c, within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's submission to Tenant, Tenant must elect by written notice to Landlord either to forego the design change contemplated in the Change Order if requested by Tenant or to disapprove the design change contemplated in the Change Order if requested by Landlord or to pay the Change Order Cost if requested by Tenant or approve the Change Order if requested by Landlord. Until Tenant signs that proposed Change Order, Landlord has neither the obligation nor authority to proceed to implement the proposed change. Each fully-executed Change Order will become part of the Plans and Specifications.

THIS LEASE GUARANTY (the "Guaranty") is given this 29th day of June, 2009 by APOLLO GROUP, INC., an Arizona corporation ("Guarantor"), with respect to that certain Agreement of Lease, dated of even date herewith (the "Lease"), executed by US REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Texas limited partnership, as Landlord, and The University of Phoenix, Inc., an Arizona corporation, as Tenant, for space in the building located at the SEC of I-10 and Broadway Rd. Tempe, Arizona, 85282.
1. For good and valuable consideration, Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guaranties to Landlord, and to its successors and assigns, the performance of each and all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease contained therein to be kept and performed by Tenant during the initial term of the Lease and any renewal term, including the payment of all rentals and other charges accruing pursuant to the Lease.
2. Neither the Guarantor's obligation to make payment or render performance in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement hereof shall be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Tenant or its estate in bankruptcy or of any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Act or other statute, or from the decision of any court or agency.
3. Except as provided herein, Guarantor hereby waives notice of any demand by Landlord, any notice of default in the payment of rent or any other amounts contained or reserved in the Lease, or any other notice of default under the Lease. Guarantor expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of any waiver by Landlord, or its successors or assigns, or failure to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or this Guaranty, or the granting of any indulgence or extension of time to Tenant, all of which may be given or done without notice to Guarantor.
4. This Guaranty shall extend to any assignee or successor to Landlord and shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns.
5. Guarantor agrees that Landlord may extend the time for performance or otherwise modify or alter the Lease; provided, however, that no such modification or alteration that extends the term, increases the rent or otherwise increases Tenant's obligations under the Lease shall be effective against Guarantor without Guarantor's prior written consent.
6. Landlord shall provide written notice to Guarantor of any default by Tenant under the Lease and shall provide to Guarantor the same period of time that Tenant has to cure such default prior to enforcing or attempting to enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor.

Guarantor of any default by Tenant under the Sublease so long as such cure is achieved within the period of time required thereunder.
7. This Guaranty is of a continuing nature and may not be canceled by the Guarantor for so long as the Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof are in force and effect or for so long as Tenant is in occupancy of the premises mentioned in said Lease. Landlord shall not be obligated or required to exhaust its remedies against Tenant as a condition precedent to its collection under this Guaranty. This instrument of Guaranty shall be construed as a guaranty of payment and performance rather than as a guaranty of collection. In addition this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect after termination of the Lease so long as any of Tenant's obligations thereunder remain due and payable.
8. The Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty:

(a) | sell, exchange, release, surrender, and in any manner and in any order realize upon or otherwise deal with any property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure Tenant's obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or |
(b) | resort to Guarantor for payment of any Tenant's Obligations, whether or not Landlord shall have resorted to any property securing any of Tenant's Obligations or any obligation of Guarantor or shall have proceeded against Tenant or any other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of Tenant's Obligations. |
10. Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall not be released from the obligations of this Guaranty, nor shall such obligations be diminished or otherwise affected by (a) any extension of time or other indulgence granted to Tenant or by a waiver with respect to Tenant's Obligations or any of them, (b) any assignment of the Lease or any subletting of all or any portion of the premises, or (c) any other act or
omission of Landlord other than a written waiver by Landlord specifically modifying or terminating this Guaranty.
11. No delay on the part of Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy as to either Tenant or as to Guarantor shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no final or partial exercise by Landlord of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercises thereof or the exercises of any other right or remedy.
12. The validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of any action which Landlord may take or fail to take against Tenant nor by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce, any of the rights or remedies reserved to Landlord in the Lease, or otherwise, nor by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or inability to pay debts as they mature of Tenant and whether or not the term of the Lease shall terminate by reason of said bankruptcy, insolvency, or inability to pay debts as they mature.
13. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Lease or of any security thereof, shall affect, impair or constitute a defense to this Guaranty. This Guaranty is a direct and primary obligation of the Guarantor, and Guarantor's obligations hereunder are not as a surety.
14. If and to the extent that the Guarantor makes any payment to Landlord pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, any claim which the Guarantor may have against Landlord by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of all of Tenant's Obligations.

From and after any such attornment, Lender or such purchaser shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after such attornment to Lender, or to such purchaser, have the same remedies against Lender, or such purchaser, for the breach of an agreement contained in the lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord, if Lender or such purchase had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord. Provided, however, that Lender or such purchaser shall only be bound during the period of its ownership, and that in the case of the exercise by Lender or its rights under the Deed of Trust, or a foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, all Tenant claims shall be satisfied only out of the

R-9 | Intentionally Deleted |
R-10 | Alterations |
(a) Minor Decorating Permitted. Tenant shall be permitted to hang pictures and shelving and perform other similar minor decorating activities and to perform non-structural alterations not exceeding an aggregate of $50,000 during any calendar year, which alterations do not require the acquisition of a building permit without securing Landlord's prior consent, provided that Tenant complies with all pertinent building code, fire, safety and other such governmental regulations and that Tenant does not take any action which could in any way interfere with the structural, mechanical, electrical, maintenance, HVAC or plumbing systems of the Project. Tenant agrees that Landlord may supervise the movement of materials in and out of the Project with respect to any activities done under this provision.
(b) Mechanics Liens. In the event that a mechanics lien is filed against the Premises or the Project for work claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall either see that such lien is discharged within thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of notice thereof or Tenant shall post a bond to assure the payment of said lien with Landlord in an amount and form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
R-11 | Intentionally Omitted |
R-12 | Condemnation |
Tenant shall have the right to pursue a claim in the condemnation proceeding for any relocation award to which it may be entitled or for any furniture, trade fixtures or other fixtures which Tenant is entitled to remove at the termination of the Lease and which are subject to the Taking, for the unamortized cost of any improvements paid for by Tenant and for any relocation or other business disruption loss Tenant incurs as a result of such Taking. If Tenant's access to the Premises is taken as a result of the condemnation, the Lease shall terminate upon the effective date of the taking unless the parties agree otherwise.
R-13 | Assignment/Sublease to Affiliate; Release; Use of Space by Others |
(a) Sublease. No sublessee will have any rights directly against Landlord, nor will the sublease create or impose any obligation or liability of Landlord in favor of such sublessee. No sublessee will have any right to exercise any of Tenant's rights or options under the Lease. At any time that a Lease default exists under Section 20, Landlord will have the absolute right to collect the rentals under the sublease directly from the sublessee and apply same to the payment of Rent, and Tenant hereby stipulates and agrees that the sublessee (a) shall receive full credit against its obligations under the sublease for all sums so paid to Landlord, and (b) shall be entitled and is hereby directed to rely upon a written notice from Landlord that the rentals under the sublease are payable to Landlord. It is understood and agreed, however, that Landlord's
-5-
exercise of such right shall not release or diminish Tenant's obligations under the Lease except to the extent of funds actually received by Landlord.
(b) Transfer to an Affiliate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises without Landlord's consent to any corporation or business entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to a corporation or other business entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with' Tenant, or to any person or entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to a corporation or other business entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant's businesses as a going concern ("Affiliate"), provided that in the case of an assignment, the assignee assumes in full the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and that the use of the Premises remains unchanged. Tenant shall also have the right to provide space in the Premises from time to time (i) to business entities or other organizations for purpose of conducting education programs and/or meetings, and (ii) to concessionaires or independent contractors who provide services directly related to Tenant's use (such as bookstore and food/beverage service operations) and serving Tenant's staff, guests and students, and such use of the Premises shall not constitute an assignment, sublease or other transfer by Tenant hereunder. Landlord's consent to any transfer under this provision shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(c) Other Transfers. Except as provided in Section 19 and this R-13, Tenant shall not make any transfer of its interest in the Premises without Landlord's express prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d) Effect of Transfer. In the event that Tenant proposes to assign or sublease to an assignee or subtenant whose net worth is comparable to or greater than that of Tenant or Guarantor as of the date this Lease was executed (including an Affiliate), and Landlord consents to such assignment or sublease in writing, based on the assignee's or subtenant's net worth and the nature of the assignee's or subtenant's use and compatibility with the Project, Tenant and Guarantor shall be released from all liability occurring from and after the effective date of the assignment or sublease with respect to the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or subletting, and such release shall be documented in Landlord's consent. Except as otherwise provided in this R-13(d), no transfer of any portion of Tenant's interest in the Premises will relieve Tenant or Guarantor from liability under the Lease or the Guaranty, and each transferee will be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Lease and the terms of the agreement between Tenant and any transferee, the terms of this Lease shall control. Any violation by a transferee of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall constitute a default hereunder, subject to the notice and right to cure provisions of Section 20, for which Tenant shall be fully liable. Each transferee shall be obligated to obtain Landlord's consent to any action as to which Tenant is obligated to obtain such consent under this Lease, including, without limitation, consent to any proposed alterations.
(e) Subsequent Subleases or Transfers. No sublessee or transferee will make any further sublease or transfer of an interest in the Premises without the express prior written consent of Landlord in accordance with Section 19 and this R-13. No consent by Landlord to
-6-
any transfer of an interest in the Premises shall constitute a consent to any further or future transfer of an interest in the Premises.
(f) Submission of Information. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a specific assignment or subletting, Tenant will submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) a counterpart of the proposed agreement of assignment or sublease; (iii) reasonably satisfactory information as to the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and as to the nature of its proposed use of the space; (iv) banking, financial or other credit information reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (v) executed estoppel certificates from Tenant; and (vi) any other information reasonably requested by Landlord.
R-14 | Mutual Default/Notice/Cure |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Lease, the parties shall each receive written notice and an opportunity to cure any failure to perform any obligation under the Lease (other than a default pursuant to Sections 20.a, 20.c, 20.d, 20.e, and 20.f of the Lease) prior to being considered in a default status and being subject to the imposition of penalties or other remedial actions. Wherever the term "default" is used herein it shall be defined as either party's continued failure to perform its obligation in accordance with the terms of this Lease after written notice thereof from the non-defaulting party and the passage of an appropriate period of time within which to have commenced and completed the cure of such failure to perform, Appropriate cure periods are as follows:
Monetary Defaults - Ten (l0) business days
Non-Monetary Defaults - Thirty (30) days provided that if the defaulting party is proceeding in good faith and with due diligence to complete the cure of a non-monetary performance failure which cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, such party will not be held in default for not completing such cure within 30 days so long as such party diligently proceeds to complete such cure promptly and fully.
R-15 | Landlord's Access to the Premises |
Landlord shall have access to the Premises for the purposes described in Sections 8.5 and 22, provided that (i) Landlord's activities hereunder will not unreasonably interfere with or adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises, (ii) Landlord provides reasonable advance notice of any entry to the Premises, except in the case of emergency, and (iii) nothing will be done hereunder that would permanently alter the aesthetics or the utility of the Premises for Tenant's permitted use without Tenant's prior written consent. In entering the Premises, Landlord shall use all efforts to minimize any interference with or disruption of Tenant's operations. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord's entry onto the Premises interferes with Tenant and such interference causes a material adverse impact on Tenant's operations at, use or enjoyment of the Premises and such impact continues beyond forty-eight (48) hours, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of rent for such period of time as the interference continues.
-7-
If such interference continues beyond one hundred twenty (120) days, and Landlord's failure to remedy such interference within thirty (30) days.
R-16 | Subordination and Non-Disturbance |
As of the date of the Lease, Landlord does not own the fee interest in the Project. In the event that as of the Commencement Date there exists a mortgage or deed of trust recorded against the Premises, then prior to the Commencement Date and as a condition to the effectiveness of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (but not Tenant's obligations pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement attached as Exhibit "G" hereto), Landlord will deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement executed by such superior lienholder agreeing in substance that, so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, its tenancy and all of its rights hereunder will not be disturbed throughout the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, which agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit"J." If Tenant is required to subordinate its interests under the Lease to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust or to any lien holder in the future, Tenant's obligation to subordinate its interests is conditioned upon any such lien holder or prospective lien holder providing Tenant with a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "J" which, in substance, agrees that so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, its tenancy for the use and purposes herein described and all rights granted to Tenant hereunder will not be disturbed and will remain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof. Tenant's duties and obligations hereunder will not be modified in any way without Tenant's prior written consent.
R-17 | Intentionally Deleted. |
R-18 | Determination of Current Market Rate |
The current market rental rate, and other terms and conditions ("Current Market Rate") necessary to establish the rent when Tenant is exercising a renewal option shall be determined as follows:
(a) "Current Market Rate" shall be defined as the bona fide rates, terms and conditions currently being offered in "arm's length" transactions to prospective tenants for comparable space of similar size, location and improvements in the Project, and recognizing that there shall be no brokerage fees in the transaction. If no comparable space is available in the Project for this comparison, rates and terms then being offered for comparable space in comparable buildings in the Tempe, Arizona, metropolitan area will be used.
(b) Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the Current Market Rate within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of Tenant's renewal notice. If Tenant disagrees with the proposed Current Market Rate, then within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such market rate notice, Tenant shall appoint a Qualified Agent as defined in subsection (e) and give written notice thereof to Landlord. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord in writing of its acceptance of the proposed Current Market Rate or of its appointment of a Qualified Agent, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Current Market Rate, and Landlord will prepare an appropriate amendment to the Lease.

(c) If Tenant appoints a Qualified Agent under subsection (b), then within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, Landlord shall appoint its Qualified Agent.
(d) Within ten (10) business days after Landlord appoints a Qualified Agent, each party's Qualified Agent shall meet with the parties and each other and review the Premises and the Buildings and give notice to each party of his/her opinion of the Current Market Rate for the Premises for the option term in question. If the two Qualified Agents agree on the Current Market Rate, that rate shall be used as the Current Market Rate for Tenant's rent for the option term. If the two Qualified Agents do not agree on the Current Market Rate and the parties do not agree on how to resolve the dispute within ten (10) business days of the two Qualified Agents giving notice of their opinions of the Current Market Rate, the two Qualified Agents will select a third Qualified Agent, who is in no manner affiliated or associated with either of the other Qualified Agents. The third Qualified Agent will select one or the other of the two opinions of Current Market Rate submitted by the other Qualified Agents within ten (10) days after being appointed by the other two Qualified Agents. The third Qualified Agent shall have no authority to modify either opinion of Current Market Rate and must select one or the other opinion "as is", which will establish the Current Market Rate for the option term in question.
(e) For the purposes of this provision, "Qualified Agent" means a real estate broker or salesperson licensed by the State of Arizona with at least ten (10) years of office leasing experience in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area who has not worked for either party or its affiliates within two (2) years prior to the time in question, and who so states in writing an agreement to serve hereunder. Each party will pay the reasonable fees of the Qualified Agent appointed by it, provided however, that if a third Qualified Agent is appointed, Landlord and Tenant will each pay one-half of the fees of the third Qualified Agent. Either party may enforce the procedures set forth in this provision in any manner permitted by law or equity.

(f) Tenant's parking rights granted herein are not in violation of any applicable laws.
(g) Landlord will not record against the Project or the Premises, or otherwise subject the Project or the Premises to, any restrictions, agreements, encumbrances, liens, easements or rights which could or would (i) prevent or impair the use of the Premises for the purposes permitted in this Lease or (ii) conflict with or diminish the rights herein granted to Tenant.
(h) Any individual executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord is authorized to do so by requisite action of the appropriate board, partnership, or other entity, as the case may be.

Landlord acknowledges that some or all of the classes to be taught by Tenant on the Premises may occur (i) after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and (ii) during daytime hours on weekends. The Premises shall be available to Tenant and its students, instructors and other guests and employees during such hours and Landlord agrees that access to the Premises shall not be limited or impeded during the hours of Tenant's operation. Any janitorial or other services provided by Landlord shall not interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises during such hours.
R-21 | Services and Utilities |
All services to be provided by Landlord and the management and operation of the Project shall be at or above a level consistent with that customarily provided to tenants of comparable buildings in the Tempe, Arizona, metropolitan area.

Tenant shall be solely responsible for arranging and paying for all utilities (including, without limitation, electrical power, natural gas, water, waste water drainage, storm sewer drainage and telephone service) and, except for the obligations of Landlord under Section 12 of the Lease, all other services or amenities that Tenant requires or desires to be furnished to the Premises from and after the Commencement Date for its occupancy, use and enjoyment thereof. Tenant will contract with the suppliers or vendors of all such utilities, services and amenities, and will make all payments therefor directly to the supplier or vendor.
Without limiting the generality of Section 4.c, Landlord will have no responsibility or liability for the interruption or cessation of any utility, service or amenity to the Premises, nor shall any such interruption or cessation entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or be deemed to constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an interruption of utilities or services is directly within the control of Landlord, and (i) such interruption of utilities or services shall continue for two (2) business days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord; (ii) such interruption of utilities or services shall render any portion of the Premises unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant's business and Tenant, in fact, ceases to use and occupy such portion of the Premises for the normal conduct of its business; and (iii) the restoration of such utilities or services is within the control of Landlord, then Base Rent payable hereunder with respect to such portion of the Premises rendered unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant's business and which Tenant, in fact, ceases to use and occupy, shall be abated after the expiration of such two (2) business day period, (in the event such utilities or services are not then restored), and continue until such time that the utilities or services are restored. The foregoing remedy shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy for any such interruption of services or utilities by Landlord unless such interruption of services or utilities is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord in which event Tenant shall have all rights and remedies against Landlord under this Lease in addition to such abatement.
R-22 | Landlord Defaults/Tenants Rights |
Subject to the provisions contained in the Lease, if Landlord fails to perform any of its material obligations or breaches any of its covenants contained in the Lease, and (unless another time limit is elsewhere in this Lease specifically provided) the (i) default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written demand for performance is given by Tenant, or, (ii) if the default is of such a character as to require more than thirty (30) days to cure and Landlord shall fail to commence said cure promptly and use reasonable diligence in working to complete such cure as quickly as reasonably possible and such default has a material impact on Tenant's use of the Premises, then Tenant may, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity (including the right to sue for damages, an injunction or specific performance), do any one or more of the following, collectively or individually, concurrently or separately, in any order and as often as necessary: (a) elect to make such payments and cure such defaults on behalf of Landlord and, in connection therewith, do all work and make all payments deemed necessary or appropriate by Tenant, including payment of costs including reasonable attorneys' fees and

The exercise of the termination rights granted Tenant hereunder shall not waive any default by Landlord or limit any other remedies Tenant may have in law or equity.

All disputes other than those relating to the payment of rent, which cannot be resolved privately, may be submitted by either party for non-binding mediation on terms and conditions agreed to by both Landlord and Tenant.
