Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 12, 2019, Power REIT (the “Trust”) acquired two properties located in southern Colorado (the “Properties”) through a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust (the “PropCo”). Propco has entered into two cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted triple-net leases (the “Leases”) with JAB Industries Ltd. (“Tenant”) for the Properties. The Leases provide that Tenant is responsible for paying all expenses related to the Properties, including maintenance expenses, insurance and taxes. The term of each of the Leases is 20 years and provides two options to extend for additional five-year periods. The Leases also have financial guarantees from affiliates of the Tenant. The Tenant intends to operate the Properties as licensed cannabis cultivation and processing facilities.

 

The rent for each of the Leases is structured whereby after a six-month free-rent period, the rental payments provide Power REIT a full return of invested capital over the next three years in equal monthly payments. After the 42nd month, rent is structured to provide a 12.5% return on the original invested capital amount which will increase at a 3% rate per annum. At any time after year six, if cannabis is legalized at the federal level, the rent will be readjusted down to an amount equal to a 9% return on the original invested capital amount and will increase at a 3% rate per annum based on a starting date of the start of year seven.

 

The Tenant for each of the Leases is an affiliate of a company that owns and operates two indoor cannabis cultivation facilities and five dispensary locations in the State of Colorado along with several other cannabis related projects under development. The Leases require the Tenant to maintain a medical cannabis license and operate in accordance with all Colorado and state and local regulations with respect to its operations. The Leases prohibit the retail sale of cannabis and cannabis-infused products from the Properties.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Leases does not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Leases, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 , and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On July 12, 2019, the Trust, through PropCo, completed the acquisition of the Properties. One property was acquired for $1,075,000 and is 2.11 acres and has an existing greenhouse and processing facility totaling 12,996 square feet. The other property was acquired for $695,000 and is 5.2 acres and has an existing greenhouse and processing facility totaling 5,616 square feet. The total combined purchase price of $1,770,000 plus acquisition expenses was paid with existing working capital.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On July 15, 2019, the Trust issued a press release regarding an expanded focus for acquisitions related to Controlled Environment Agriculture and the acquisition of the Properties. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information contained in Item 7.01 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Trust, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

In connection with the Trust’s acquisition of the Properties, the Trust is updating and adding the following risk factors to supplement those risks previously disclosed in the Trust’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

 
 

 

Risks Related to Regulation

 

Our business activities, and the business activities of our cannabis tenant, while believed to be compliant with applicable U.S. state and local laws, are currently illegal under U.S. federal law.

 

While certain states in the U.S. have legalized “medical cannabis,” “adult-use cannabis” or both, medical and adult-use cannabis remains illegal under federal law. The U.S. Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”) classifies “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a drug or other substance is placed on Schedule I if:

 

  “[t]he drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse”;
     
  “[t]he drug or other substance has no accepted medical use in the United States”; and
     
  “[t]here is a lack of safety for the use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.”

 

As such, cannabis-related business activities, including, without limitation, the cultivation, manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis, remains illegal under U.S. federal law. Although we believe our cannabis-related activities are compliant with the laws and regulations of the State of Colorado, strict compliance with state and local rules and regulations with respect to cannabis neither absolves us of liability under U.S. federal law, nor provides a defense to any proceeding that may be brought against us under U.S. federal law. Furthermore, we cannot give any assurance that our cannabis tenant, JAB Industries Ltd., and any future cannabis tenants, are currently operating, and will continue to operate, in strict compliance with state and local rules and regulations in which they operate. Any proceeding that may be brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Violations of any U.S. federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements, arising from either civil or criminal proceedings brought by either the U.S. federal government or private citizens, including, but not limited to, property seizures, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. Such fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements could have a material adverse effect on us, including, but not limited to:

 

  our reputation and our ability to conduct business and/or maintain our current business relationships;
     
  the listing of our securities on the NYSE American (the “NYSE”); and
     
  the market price of our common shares.

 

We cannot assure you that our common shares will remain listed on the NYSE.

 

Our common shares are currently listed on the NYSE. To our knowledge, the NYSE has not approved for listing any U.S.-based companies engaged in cannabis-related activities , other than Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE:IIPR), a cannabis-focused real estate investment trust listed in late 2016 just prior to the nomination of former Attorney General Sessions. Although we currently meet the maintenance listing standards of the NYSE, we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet those standards, or that the NYSE will not seek to delist our common stock as a result of our entry into a lease agreement with a licensed U.S. cannabis cultivator. If we are delisted from the NYSE, then our common shares will trade, if at all, only on the over-the-counter market, such as the OTCQB or OTCQX trading platforms, and then only if one or more registered broker-dealer market makers comply with quotation requirements. Any potential delisting of our common shares from the NYSE could, among other things, depress our share price, substantially limit liquidity of our common shares and materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

 
 

 

The U.S. federal government’s approach towards cannabis laws may be subject to change or may not proceed as previously outlined.

 

In an effort to provide guidance to U.S. federal law enforcement, under former President Barak Obama, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), released a memorandum on August 29, 2013 entitled “Guidance Regarding Marijuana Enforcement” from former Deputy Attorney General James Cole (the “Cole Memorandum”). The Cole Memorandum sought to limit the use of the U.S. federal government’s prosecutorial resources by providing United States attorneys (“U.S. Attorneys”) with certain priorities (the “Cole Priorities”) on which to focus their attention in states that have established cannabis programs with regulatory enforcement systems. U.S. Attorneys were required to adhere to the Cole Priorities until the rescission of the Cole Memorandum in January 2018.

 

While the rescission of the Cole Memorandum did not create a change in U.S. federal law, as the Cole Memorandum was policy guidance and not law, the revocation removed the DOJ’s guidance to U.S. Attorneys that state-regulated cannabis industries substantively in compliance with the Cole Memorandum’s guidelines should not be a prosecutorial priority. Accordingly, the rescission added to the uncertainty of U.S. federal enforcement of the CSA in states where cannabis use is regulated. Pursuant to his rescission of the Cole Memorandum, former Attorney General Jeffrey B. Sessions also issued a one-page memorandum known as the “Sessions Memorandum.” According to the Sessions Memorandum, the Cole Memorandum was “unnecessary” due to existing general enforcement guidance adopted in the 1980s, as set forth in the U.S. Attorney’s Manual (the “USAM”). The USAM enforcement priorities, like those of the Cole Memorandum, are also based on the U.S. federal government’s limited resources, and include “law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General,” the “seriousness” of the alleged crimes, the “deterrent effect of criminal prosecution,” and “the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community.” To date, U.S. Attorney General William Barr has not issued statements or guidance in his official capacity since becoming Attorney General with respect to the medical or adult-use of cannabis, although in his confirmation hearings he indicated that he believed that rescinding the Cole Memorandum was a mistake.

 

The United States House of Representatives passed an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill (currently known as the “Joyce Amendment” and formerly known as the “Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment”), which funds the DOJ. Under the Joyce Amendment, the DOJ is prohibited from using federal funds to prevent states “from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.” In particular, the Joyce Amendment only prohibits the use of federal funds to prosecute individuals and businesses operating cannabis companies in compliance with state laws regulating the medical use of cannabis and does not apply to adult-use cannabis operations. The Joyce Amendment must be renewed each federal fiscal year and was subsequently renewed by the U.S. Congress (“Congress”) through September 30, 2019. There can be no assurance that Congress will further renew the Joyce Amendment for the 2020 fiscal year.

 

The U.S. federal government’s approach towards cannabis and cannabis-related activities remains uncertain. If the Joyce Amendment is not renewed in the future, and/or until the U.S. federal government amends the laws and its enforcement policies with respect to cannabis, there is a risk that the DOJ and other U.S. federal agencies may utilize U.S. federal funds to enforce the CSA in states with a medical and adult-use cannabis program, which could have a material adverse effect on our current and future cannabis tenants.

 

Furthermore, while we have acquired and may acquire additional cannabis facilities with the intent to lease those facilities for the cultivation and processing of medical-use cannabis facilities, our lease agreements do not prohibit our cannabis tenant from cultivating and processing cannabis for adult use, provided that such tenant complies with all applicable state and local rules and regulations. Certain of our tenants may opt to cultivate adult-use cannabis in our medical-use cannabis facilities, which may in turn subject our cannabis tenant, us and our properties to federal enforcement actions.

 

 
 

 

Laws, regulations and the policies with respect to the enforcement of such laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry in the United States are constantly changing, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us.

 

Medical and adult-use cannabis laws and regulations in the United States are complex, broad in scope, and subject to evolving interpretations. As a result, compliance with such laws and regulations could require us to incur substantial costs or alter certain aspects of our business. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of our business plan and may have a material adverse effect on certain aspects of our planned operations. Further, regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain aspects of our cannabis-related activities. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, especially in the United States, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

 

Currently, there are 33 states plus the District of Columbia and certain U.S. territories that have laws and/or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Of those, 11 states plus the District of Columbia and certain U.S. territories have laws and/or regulations that permit the adult-use of cannabis. As cannabis is classified as a Schedule I substance under the CSA, U.S. federal laws and regulations prohibit a range of activities regarding cannabis. Unless and until Congress amends the CSA with respect to cannabis (the timing and scope of which is not assured and hard to predict), there is a risk that governmental authorities in the United States may enforce current U.S. federal law, and we may, through our business activities, be deemed to be operating in direct violation of U.S. federal law. Accordingly, active enforcement of the current U.S. federal regulatory position on cannabis could have a material adverse effect on us. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated policy remains uncertain, and any regulations prohibiting the use of cannabis, or prohibiting cannabis-related activities, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In addition, relevant state or local rules and regulations may be amended or repealed, or new rules and regulations may be enacted in the future to eliminate prohibiting the cultivation, processing and dispensing of cannabis. If our current cannabis tenant, or any future cannabis tenants, are forced to cease operations, we would be required to replace such tenant with one that is not engaged in the cannabis industry, who may pay significantly lower rents. Any changes in state or local laws that reduce or eliminate the ability to cultivate and produce cannabis would likely result in a high vacancy rate for the kinds of properties that we seek to acquire, which would depress our lease rates and property values. In addition, we would realize an economic loss on any and all improvements made to properties that were to be used in connection with cannabis cultivation and processing.

 

We may be subject to anti-money laundering laws and regulations in the United States.

 

Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related activities can form the basis for prosecution under the U.S. money laundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crime, including the U.S. Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970 (the “Bank Secrecy Act”), as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

 

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), a bureau within the U.S. Department of the Treasury primarily charged with administering and enforcing the Bank Secrecy Act, previously issued a memorandum providing instructions to banks seeking to provide services to cannabis-related businesses (the “FinCEN Memorandum”). The FinCEN Memorandum states that in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to cannabis-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of U.S. federal money laundering laws, and explicitly refers to the Cole Priorities. As discussed above, the Cole Memorandum was rescinded in January 2018 and the decision to prosecute was left to the discretion of each U.S. Attorney in each district. As a result, it is unclear at this time whether the current administration will follow the guidelines of the FinCEN Memorandum and whether Attorney General Barr will reinstate the Cole Priorities, adopt a different enforcement policy or take no action at all. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin did state, following rescission of the Cole Memorandum, that the FinCEN Memorandum remains in place. If any of our investments, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such investments in the United States were found to be in violation of anti-money laundering laws or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime, including under one or more of the statutes discussed above. Any property, real or personal, and its proceeds, involved in or traceable to such a crime is subject to seizure by and forfeiture to governmental authorities. Any such seizure, forfeiture or other action by law enforcement regarding our assets could restrict or otherwise jeopardize our ability to declare or pay dividends or effect other distributions, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

 
 

 

Litigation, complaints, enforcement actions and governmental inquiries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our participation in the cannabis industry may lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcement actions and governmental inquiries. Litigation, complaints, enforcement actions and governmental inquiries could consume considerable amounts of our financial and other resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales, revenue, profitability, and growth prospects.

 

Litigation, complaints, enforcement actions and governmental inquiries could result from cannabis-related activities in violation of federal law, including, but not limited to, the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). RICO is a U.S. federal statute providing criminal penalties in addition to a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. Under RICO, it is unlawful for any person who has received income derived from a pattern of racketeering activity, to use or invest any of that income in the acquisition of any interest, or the establishment or operation of, any enterprise that is engaged in interstate commerce. RICO also authorizes private parties whose properties or businesses are harmed by such patterns of racketeering activity to initiate a civil action against the individuals involved. Recently, a number of RICO lawsuits have been brought by neighbors of state-licensed cannabis farms, who allege they are bothered by noise and odor associated with cannabis production, which has also led to decreased property values. By alleging that the smell of cannabis interferes with the enjoyment of their property and drives down their property value, plaintiffs in these cases have effectively elevated common law nuisance claims into federal RICO lawsuits. These lawsuits have named not only the cannabis operator, but also supply chain partners and vendors that do not directly handle or otherwise “touch” cannabis. To our knowledge, none of these cases has been entirely dismissed at the pleadings stage, and we cannot be certain how the courts will rule on cannabis-related RICO lawsuits in the future. If a property owner were to assert such a claim against us, we may be required to devote significant resources and costs to defending ourselves against such a claim, and if a property owner were to be successful on such a claim, our cannabis tenant may be unable to continue to operate its business in its current form at the property, which could materially adversely impact such tenant’s business and the value of our property, our business and, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Further, from time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we, or any of our subsidiaries, may become subject to litigation, complaints, enforcement actions and governmental inquiries that may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation, complaints, actions or inquiries may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with such litigation, complaints, actions or inquiries that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may not be available at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of our insurance coverage for any claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We and our cannabis tenant may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for us and for them to operate.

 

Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related activities can form the basis for prosecution under the U.S. federal anti-money laundering statutes, unlicensed money transmitter statutes and the Bank Secrecy Act. As noted above, guidance issued by FinCEN clarifies how financial institutions can provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. Furthermore, since the rescission by U.S. Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions on January 4, 2018 of the Cole Memorandum, U.S. federal prosecutors have had greater discretion when determining whether to charge institutions or individuals with any of the financial crimes described above based upon cannabis-related activity. As a result, given these risks and their own related disclosure requirements, despite the guidance provided in the FinCEN Memorandum, most banks remain hesitant to offer banking services to cannabis-related businesses. Consequently, those businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to encounter difficulty establishing or maintaining banking relationships.

 

While we do not presently have challenges with our banking relationships, should we have an inability to maintain our current bank accounts, or the inability of our cannabis tenants to maintain their current banking relationships, it would be difficult for us to operate our business, may increase our operating costs, could pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges and could result in our inability to implement our business plan.

LEASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (“ Lease ”) is made as of this 12th day of July, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and between PW CO CanRE JAB LLC , a Colorado LLC, with an address of which for notice purposes is 301 Winding Road, Old Bethpage, New York 11804 (“ Landlord ”) and JAB Industries Ltd dba WildFlower Farms, a Colorado LLC, with an address of which for notice purposes is 5914 Brave Eagle Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80924 (“ Tenant ”).

 

1. PROPERTY; TERM.

 

1.1 PREMISES Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain property identified as Lot 1, Maverick Subdivision, Ordway, Colorado 81063, which shall be deemed and stipulated to contain 5.20 acres and approximately 5,616 rentable square feet of greenhouse and other related space (the “Building”) for all purposes of this Lease and irrespective of any variation thereof which might ever be determined by measurement (together, the land and Building shall be referred to as the “Premises”). The Premises is situated on the real property described by address in Exhibit A attached hereto (“ Property ”) and also depicted along with the approximate location of the Premises on that certain site plan (“ Site Plan ”) attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 . The Building and the location of the Premises are as shown on the Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 .

 

1.2 LEASE TERM. The term of this Lease (“ Term ”) shall be two hundred forty (240) full calendar months plus the portion of the month in which the Commencement Date defined below occurs if the Commencement Date is other than the first day of the month; and subject to the possibility of two (2) options to renew, each for a period of five (5) years, subject to the terms, timing, conditions and rents applicable thereto as specified below. The continuation of the Term into any such renewal option shall also be deemed to give rise to a period called part of the Term hereunder. The Term shall commence on the closing on the acquisition of the property by the Landlord. Tenant shall have no right to possession of the Premises until Tenant has provided Landlord with a certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance coverages that Tenant is obligated to maintain pursuant to this Lease together with a copy of its validly issued and currently effective Colorado State license to operate a grow/processing facility for medical marijuana. Notwithstanding tender and the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Tenant is expressly prohibited from commencing its contemplated use hereunder in and at the Premises, except for the “Minor Preparations” defined below, until such time as (X) the conditions above in this Paragraph have been satisfied, and (Y) all of Tenant’s Cannabis Use Permits defined below have been secured and reasonably evidenced to Landlord, and (Z) all local licenses and permits required to be obtained to operate Tenant’s business have been obtained and delivered to Landlord. “ Minor Preparations ” means minimal preparations for operations such as installation of security cameras, patching, décor placements, and similar activities but expressly excluding any actual performance of physical construction or permanent improvements (and where in doubt, Landlord will promptly reasonably respond with a decision as to any specific activity to be taken which Tenant believes should qualify as Minor Preparations, advising if same is or is not Minor Preparations). For these purposes the “ Cannabis Use Permits ” are defined as follows is defined as follows:

 

1.2.1 Cannabis Use Permits : Tenant acknowledges and agrees and Landlord requires, that Tenant shall secure all State of Colorado and all County of Crowley Colorado required licenses and approvals of all applicable jurisdictions and regulatory bodies, including those required under the Marijuana Code, Title 44, Article 11, Section 101 et. seq. (the “MMC”) as well as the Colorado Constitution, Article XVIII, those promulgated by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies and the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses to operate for its intended medical marijuana grow and/or process facility, and any other permitted use per Tenant’s permit, including without limitation, those necessary to be in compliance with all State of Colorado regulations noted in the MMC (collectively, the “ Cannabis Use Permits ”). Tenant shall evidence all such Cannabis Use Permits by providing a copy of same to Landlord along with a letter from Tenant’s legal counsel enclosing same and confirming that those enclosures represent all State of Colorado required approvals or permits that are available to evidence to a Landlord; and shall advise Landlord that Tenant has secured such Cannabis Use Permits and is at such time in compliance with same, and that all such Cannabis Use Permits remain in full force and effect with the State of Colorado at that time. As of the Effective Date the parties acknowledge that rules, regulations and requirements of the State of Colorado pertaining to the intended use hereunder include those described at the website for the State of Colorado’s “Medical Marijuana Code”, https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/enforcement/statues-colorado-revised-statutes-crs ; Tenant shall at all times remain in compliance therewith; and such web site refers among other things to the implementation of the Department’s rules for all forms of marijuana, including medical marijuana, overseeing the statewide Medical Marijuana Use Registry, licensing of Colorado businesses to cultivate, process, and dispense marijuana; and among other implementing legislation and regulation, Article 11, Colorado Statutes and Colorado Administrative Code Chapter 44 found in the Department of State Colorado Administrative Register (“ CAR ”).

 

   
 

 

1.2.2 Zoning Approval Letter : On or before commencement of the Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, secure all required local permits, licenses and approvals (“ Permits and Approvals ”) required to commence operations for its grow/process facility and shall provide Landlord with a copy of all such Permits and Approval showing their effectiveness with no appeals pending, no appeal instituted and no petition filed (the “Appeals Process”). Tenant covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to obtain all required zoning and local planning approvals or permits or variances and a writing from governmental authority indicating same (“ Zoning Approval Letter ”), which Zoning Approval Letter confirms that the contemplated use herein is allowed and approved for the Premises (inclusive of all parking requirements, if any, deemed necessary by governmental authority). Without cost to Landlord, Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant on request in Tenant’s efforts to secure its Zoning Approval Letter provided, “reasonably cooperate” means reasonably responding to inquiries to reasonably confirm facts or information and otherwise acting in a reasonable manner consistent with the purposes of this Lease toward the goal of enabling Tenant to secure its Permits and Approvals including executing applications that owners are required to sign or join in with tenants. Tenant shall evidence immediately to Landlord each and all of the Permits and Approvals as same are secured by Tenant.

 

1.2.3 Termination for Failure of Permits and Approvals :

 

(a) After the Commencement Date : If for any reason Tenant shall suffer a loss of its required Permits and Approvals including through State revocation as described in the CAR, Tenant shall immediately in writing notify Landlord and shall immediately cease all marijuana grow/processing business operations and activities in and at the Premises which otherwise are permitted by this Lease until such time as the lost and/or revoked Permits and Approvals have been re-secured and reasonably evidenced to Landlord. In addition:

 

(i) Without Fault : Should Tenant secure its Permits and Approvals but, then suffer a loss thereof, but only if such loss arises by reason of either a loss of local zoning approval or a revocation or loss of any of the Permits and Approvals, and such occurrence arises through no fault, no inaction, no omission, and no other conduct or action of Tenant which conduct or action is in breach of this Lease or breach by Tenant of the State rules and regulations and laws which govern under the Permits and Approvals, such event shall be called an “ Excused Loss of Approvals ”. In case of an Excused Loss of Approvals, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing upon receipt of written notice of same and Tenant may thereafter at any time until such lost Permits and Approvals have been re-secured, terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice of such termination (an “ Excused Termination ”); provided, such an Excused Termination shall not be effective until the ninetieth (90 th ) day after the giving of written notice of such termination unless Landlord elects for such Excused Termination to be effective sooner (including retroactively to the date of such loss). An Excused Termination shall be deemed and treated as though the Lease had been thereby automatically amended to establish such termination date as the date of natural expiration of the Term without renewal, extension or other option exercise (with any previously exercised option automatically thereby deemed withdrawn).

 

(ii) With Fault : Should Tenant secure its Permits and Approvals during the above noted period but, thereafter suffer a loss thereof but only if such loss arises by reason of either a loss of local zoning approval or a revocation or loss of any of the Permits and Approvals where such loss or revocation so arises through fault, inaction, omission, or other conduct or action of Tenant which conduct or action is in breach of this Lease or breach by Tenant of the State rules and regulations and laws which govern under the Permits and Approvals, such event shall be called an “ Unexcused Loss of Approvals ”. In case of an Unexcused Loss of Approvals, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing upon written receipt of same and Landlord may thereafter at any time until such lost Permits and Approvals have been re-secured, terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice of such termination (an “ Unexcused Termination ”); provided, such an Unexcused Termination shall not be effective until the ninetieth (90 th ) day after the giving of written notice of such termination. During such 90-day period, if Tenant is able to re-secure such lost Permits and/or Approvals, as applicable, the Unexcused Termination will not take effect. In case of an Unexcused Termination, same shall also constitute a breach and default of this Lease for which all remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative.

 

   
 

 

1.2.4 Landlord’s Right of Termination for Legal Climate Risk Change : If at any time during the Term(s) of the Lease, the legal landscape in which Colorado sanctioned and approved use herein contemplated interplays with the Federal Issues (defined below), is altered such that there has occurred or there is imminent to occur (or actually occurring) a seizure of Landlord’s property, or imminent to occur (or actually occurring) Federal action to impose or seek criminal sanctions or civil forfeiture upon Landlord or any of its assets by reason of this Lease and/or the related activities contemplated herein to occur (or occurring), then Landlord may terminate the Lease upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Tenant of termination, whereupon the Lease shall be deemed and treated as though it had naturally expired on the indicated termination date set forth in such notice, unless Tenant is able to prevent or cure, as applicable, the material adverse consequence prior to such termination date and provided further, during such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall cease any operation or activity to the extent necessary to address the actual threat to Landlord as credibly presented and communicated in writing to Tenant. Landlord expressly acknowledges, however, that the current legal landscape as of the Effective Date hereof, including the current status of Federal Issues, shall not in and of itself constitute such a legal climate risk change permitting any such termination. Upon any such termination, Landlord shall not have any obligation to reimburse or recompense Tenant for any costs Tenant has incurred related to Tenant’s improvements of the Premises; the Building shall remain on the Property; and in any event rents and charges hereunder shall remain due and owing through any actual termination date arising.

 

2. RENT AND OTHER CHARGES.

 

2.1 BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay monthly rent (“ Base Rent ”) on the first day of each month of the Term, together with any and all rental, sales or use taxes levied by any governmental body for the use or occupancy of the Premises and any rent or other charges payable hereunder in accordance with the following schedule:

 

Period / Lease Year   Annualized Base Rent rate/RSF   Monthly Base Rent*
Commencement Date through the 6 th month thereafter (“ Rent Commencement Date ”).   Abated; see below   Abated; see below
         

First Partial Month :

Rent Commencement Date through the last day of the month during which the Rent Commencement Date occurs (herein the “ First Partial Month ”)

See attached rent schedule 2.1 for remaining Base Rent        

 

2.1.1 If the Commencement Date should be a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then the first installment of Base Rent shall be prorated by multiplying the regular monthly installment of Base Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Commencement Date through the final day of the first calendar month of the Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs. In such event, Lease Month 1 would commence on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.

 

2.1.2 Rent Payment Address : Base Rent (and any and all other items of rent, additional rent or sums due Landlord hereunder) shall be paid without demand, without necessity of notice, without reduction, without set off and without deduction in wire transfer of immediately available funds or by check or money order to Landlord at 301 Winding Road, Old Bethpage, New York 11804 or such other address as Landlord directs in writing from time to time at least 30 days prior to next rental installment where such writing is given in accordance with the notice provisions of this Lease. Rent may NOT be paid in cash.

 

2.1.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Base Rent (but not Tenant’s Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined)) shall be abated (and the total of all such rents so abated are herein called the “ Abated Rent ”) throughout and during the first six (6) months of the Lease Term. Any rents hereunder due for a partial month shall be pro-rated based upon the number of days in such month.

 

2.2 LATE CHARGES. If any Base Rent or other payment due under this Lease is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days of the due date of such payment, Tenant shall pay, in addition to such payment a late charge equal to the greater of (i) three percent (3.0%) of the payment which is past due or (ii) Two Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($250.00). If any payment due from Tenant shall remain overdue for more than ten (10) days, interest shall accrue daily on the past due amount from the date such amount was due until paid or judgment is entered at a rate equivalent to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum and the highest rate permitted by law. Interest on the past due amount shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the five percent (3.0%) late charge or any other remedy available to Landlord.

 

   
 

 

2.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. This Lease shall be deemed to be a “triple net” lease, it being the express understanding and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Base Rent due hereunder shall be absolutely net to Landlord and that all costs and expenses for the Premises, to the extent practicable, shall be paid directly to the applicable service provider or entity charging such expense by Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall pay all expenses arising in connection with the Premises, including without limitation, all Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined).

5.4.2 LANDLORD’S INDEMNITY. Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant from, and agrees to hold Tenant harmless against, any and all liability for any loss, injury or damage, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed on Tenant by any person whomsoever, that occurs in the Building or anywhere in the Property and that is caused by or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents.

The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

6. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION.

 

6.1 DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES. If the Premises are at any time damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire, casualty or other causes, Landlord shall have sixty (60) days from such damage or destruction to determine and inform Tenant whether Landlord will restore the Premises to substantially the condition that existed immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. If Landlord elects to rebuild, Landlord shall complete such repairs to the extent of insurance proceeds within one hundred eighty (180) days from the end of the sixty (60) day period. If such repairs have not been completed within that 180-day period, and Tenant desires to terminate the Lease as a result thereof, then Tenant must notify Landlord prior to Landlord’s completion of the repairs of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall then have ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate to complete such repairs (as evidenced by a certificate of completion). If Landlord does complete such repairs prior to the expiration of such ten-day cure period, Tenant shall have no such right to terminate this Lease. Tenant shall, upon substantial completion by Landlord, promptly and diligently, and at its sole cost and expense, repair and restore any improvements to the Premises made by Tenant to the condition which existed immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. If, in Landlord’s architect’s or general contractor’s reasonable estimation, the Premises cannot be restored within two hundred forty (240) days of such damage or destruction, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of a date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given. Until the restoration of the Premises is complete, there shall be an abatement or reduction of Base Rent in the same proportion that the square footage of the Premises so damaged or destroyed and under restoration bears to the total square footage of the Premises, unless the damaging event was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, officers, agents, licensees, invitees, visitors, customers, concessionaires, assignees, subtenants, contractors or subcontractors, in which event there shall be no such abatement.

 

   
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if damage to more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or destruction of the Premises shall occur within the last year of the Term, as the same may be extended as provided hereinafter and Landlord notifies Tenant that (i) Landlord will restore the Premises to their condition prior to the casualty, and (ii) Landlord desires to extend the Term of the Lease with Tenant, then Landlord and Tenant shall extend the Term for an additional period so as to expire five (5) years from the date of the completion of the repairs to the Premises, provided Tenant gives written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s agreement to extend the Term within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. Such extension shall be on the terms and conditions provided herein, if an option to extend this Lease remains to be exercised by Tenant hereunder, or under the terms prescribed in Landlord’s notice, if no such further extension period is provided for herein. Upon receipt of such notice from Tenant, Landlord agrees to repair and restore the Premises within a reasonable time. If Tenant refuses or fails to timely extend the Term as provided herein, Landlord at its option shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damaging event, or to restore the Premises and the Lease shall continue for the remainder of the then unexpired Term, or until the Lease is otherwise terminated as provided herein.

 

6.2 CONDEMNATION.

 

6.2.1 TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If the whole of the Premises (provided that if 60% or more of the Premises are taken, Tenant may deem that all of the Premises are taken), or such portion thereof as will make the Premises unusable, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for the purposes leased hereunder, shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or sold to public authority under threat or in lieu of such taking, the Term shall cease as of the day possession or title shall be taken by such public authority, whichever is earlier (“ Taking Date ”), whereupon the rent and all other charges shall be paid up to the Taking Date with a proportionate refund by Landlord of any rent and all other charges paid for a period subsequent to the Taking Date. If less than the whole of the Premises, or less than such portion thereof as will make the Premises unusable as of the Taking Date, is taken, Base Rent and other charges payable to Landlord shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of the Premises taken. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by the taking to the extent necessary to make the Premises reasonably tenantable within the limitations of the available compensation awarded for the taking (exclusive of any amount awarded for land).

 

6.2.2 AWARD. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the Premises or Building including the value of the leasehold estate created hereby shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant; Tenant shall have no claim to any such award based on Tenant’s leasehold interest. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant, at its cost, from independently prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceeding for damage to, or cost of removal of, stock, trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal property belonging to Tenant; provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect Landlord’s award or the award of any mortgagee.

 

7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

 

7.1 Tenant shall, at its expense, throughout the Term and all renewals and extensions thereof, maintain in good order, condition and repair the Premises, including but not limited to heating and air conditioning equipment, walls, floors and ceilings, window exteriors, mechanical and electrical systems and equipment exclusively serving the Premises, electric light fixtures, bulbs, tubes and tube casings, doors, floor coverings, dock doors, levelers, plumbing system and plumbing fixtures, Tenant’s signs and utility facilities not maintained by Landlord. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to extend to Tenant the benefit from warranties on such items, if any, that have been made by Landlord’s contractors or vendors and to extend to Tenant, as and if available, any bulk buying power that Landlord may have with such contractors or vendors. If any portion of the Premises or any system or equipment in the Premises which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired, Tenant shall promptly replace the same, regardless of whether the benefit of such replacement extends beyond the Term. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain a preventive maintenance contract providing for the regular inspection (at least quarterly) and maintenance of the heating and air conditioning system by a licensed and qualified heating and air conditioning contractor, or Tenant shall perform such HVAC inspection and maintenance with duly licensed and qualified employee. The cost of such preventive maintenance contract shall be paid by Tenant and an expense solely chargeable to Tenant; but if Landlord so elects, same may be billed directly by Landlord to Tenant where Landlord on Tenant’s behalf enters into such preventive maintenance contract and in such case shall be deemed Additional Rent (Landlord alone may so elect whether to enter into such preventive maintenance contract on Tenant’s behalf). Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to undertake the responsibility for preventive maintenance of any other system or component at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall be responsible for janitorial services and trash removal from the Premises, at Tenant’s expense. Landlord and Tenant intend that, at all times during the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in good order and condition and appearances reasonably commensurate with the balance of the Property.

 

   
 

 

All of Tenant’s obligations to maintain and repair shall be accomplished at Tenant’s sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain and repair the Premises as required by this Section, Landlord may, on 10 days’ prior written notice (except that no notice shall be required in case of emergency), enter the Premises and perform such maintenance or repair on behalf of Tenant. In such cases, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for all costs incurred in performing such maintenance or repair plus an administration fee equal to 5% of such actual and reasonable costs or expenses.

 

7.2 CONDITION UPON TERMINATION. Upon the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and with all systems in good working order, condition and repair, except for damage caused by casualty, condemnation and ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease. However, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage that Landlord is required to repair under Section 7.1. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Premises or Building caused by the removal of any of Tenant’s personal property. In no event shall Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment: any power wiring or power panels; light fixtures; environmental control systems; heaters, air conditioners, or any other heating or air conditioning equipment (other than movable equipment brought upon the Premises by Tenant); plumbing fixtures; or other similar building operating equipment.

(f) Failure to cure the breach of any provision of this Lease or any other lease or agreement Landlord and Tenant are a party to, other than the obligation to pay Rent, within twenty (20) days after notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if such breach cannot be cured within such 20 day period using diligent efforts and Tenant promptly commenced efforts to cure such breach upon receipt of Landlord’s notice thereof, then such cure period shall be extended for so long as Tenant continues to use diligent efforts to cure, not to exceed a total of sixty (60) days from the date of Landlord’s notice;

(c) Landlord may elect to repossess the Premises and to relet the Premises for Tenant’s account, holding Tenant liable in damages for all expenses incurred in any such reletting and for any difference between the amount of Rent received from such reletting and the amount due and payable under the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall not, in such circumstances, be responsible for any cost to retrofit or alter the Premises.

 

(d) After the provision of notice and summary proceedings if required by law Landlord may enter the Premises and take any actions required of Tenant under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses that Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action.

 

The above remedies shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from pursuing any other remedies permitted by law. Landlord’s election not to enforce one or more of the remedies upon an event of default shall not constitute a waiver. However, notwithstanding anything else herein, Landlord hereby expressly disclaims, relinquishes and rejects any Landlord’s lien that otherwise by law, statute or contract might arise in or to any marijuana product and/or related products, chemicals or substances that, the ownership, possession, use, sale or distribution of which, but for the Legal Compliance Clarification, would or might be deemed contrary to Federal law or Federal regulations or enforcement positions by the Federal government or any agency, arm or authority thereof (“ Federal Issues ”).

 

8.3 COSTS. If any litigation or other court action, arbitration or similar adjudicatory proceeding is commenced by any party to enforce its rights under this Lease against any other party, all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party; provided, that if a party to such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding prevails in part, and loses in part, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party on an equitable basis.

 

8.4 WAIVER. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to, a default.

 

8.5 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages, but prior to any such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice in which to commence the appropriate cure of such default. Unless and until Landlord fails to commence and diligently pursue the appropriate cure of such default after such notice or complete same within a reasonable period of time, Tenant shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, neither Landlord nor any officer, director, partner, shareholder, or member of Landlord shall have any individual or personal liability whatsoever under this Lease. In the event of any breach or default by Landlord of any term or provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the equity or interest then-owned by Landlord in the Building (together with insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and sale proceeds), and in no event shall any deficiency judgment be sought or obtained against Landlord, nor any officer, director, partner, shareholder, or member of Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other person for consequential, special or punitive damages, including without limitation, lost profits.

Tenant, upon demand, shall further evidence its subordination by executing a subordination and attornment agreement in form and substance mutually acceptable to Tenant and Landlord and its mortgagee or ground lessor, which subordination and attornment agreement must provide that so long as no default or event which with the passing of time or giving of notice would constitute a default exists under this Lease, the peaceable possession of Tenant in and to the Premises, and continued Permitted Use thereof, for the Term shall not be disturbed in the event of the foreclosure of the subject mortgage or termination of the subject ground or underlying lease affecting the Premises. If Landlord’s interest in the Building or Property is acquired by any ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu thereof, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Lease, Premises, Building or Property and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee under any mortgage shall have the right at any time to subordinate any such mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as the mortgagee in its discretion may consider appropriate.

The Security Deposit represents security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of each and every term of this Lease. Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other default of Tenant. The Security Deposit shall not constitute liquidated damages. If after notice, Tenant fails to cure and Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord. No interest shall accrue to or for the benefit of Tenant on the Security Deposit.

Should Tenant nonetheless seek Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublet, the parties acknowledge that Landlord has a heightened interest in analyzing same and has reserved the absolute right to deny consent so as to help minimize concerns about Federal Issues; and this sentence is expressly intended to alter otherwise common law obligations of reasonableness for assignment or sublet requests. In addition, should Tenant nonetheless seek such approval or consent to an assignment or sublet, same shall be subject to Landlord’s right of recapture set forth below. If notwithstanding all the foregoing such a request for approval or consent is made and Landlord in fact determines to allow same to occur, then: Any assignment of this Lease shall require that the assignee assume all obligations of Tenant. In no event will Tenant be released from any obligation or liability under this Lease following any such assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, approve or disapprove any proposed assignment or sublease by Tenant to an existing occupant of any space in the Property or an affiliate of any such occupant. No subtenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, may further assign or sublease its interest in the Premises or any portion thereof. In the event of a proposed assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Premises, in each case to a non-Permitted Transferee, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the sum of Three Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500.00), together with any legal fees and disbursements incurred in the preparation and/or review of any such documentation, within thirty (30) days of invoice for payment thereof, as Additional Rent, if such assignment or sublease to a non-Permitted Transferee is approved. For clarity, there shall be no fee for an assignment or sublease of Tenant’s interest in the Premises or any portion thereof to a Permitted Transferee. If the rent due and payable by any assignee or subtenant under any permitted assignment or sublease exceeds the Rent payable under this Lease for such space, Tenant will pay to Landlord all such excess rent and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant. Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to reconvey to Landlord that portion of the Premises which Tenant is seeking to assign or sublet. Tenant shall reconvey that portion of the Premises in consideration of Landlord’s release of Tenant from all future Rent and other obligations, which would not otherwise survive termination of the Lease, with respect to the portion of the Premises so reconveyed. Any such reconveyance shall be evidenced by an agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in form and substance.

 

   
 

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment or sublease whatsoever shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay all rent and to perform all obligations to be paid and performed by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all direct costs and shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any assignment or sublease requested by Tenant. Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, consider all factors cognizable by law as reasonable to evaluate and consider in making its determination of whether to consent, including making a study of the financial wherewithal and credit of any proposed successor or subtenant and, in the case of an assignment, may require additional guaranties as appropriate to satisfy reasonable financial standards and criteria for approval. Any guaranty of an individual offered shall be joined by spouse and shall be in Landlord’s then current commercially reasonable form. Landlord may condition any consent to any assignment, upon the execution and delivery of Landlord’s commercially reasonable form of instrument, executed by Landlord, Tenant, the successor (assignee) tenant, and any new guarantor(s) then so arising, under the terms of which (i) the Tenant (as assignor) agrees and confirms to the foregoing continued obligations and liabilities and assigns all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Lease and all moneys having been paid thereunder, including any security deposit, (ii) the successor (as assignee) agrees to assume the Lease in all respects and to assume all obligations of payment and performance thereunder, past, present and future, including for the express benefit of Landlord and accepts the Premises in its then as-is condition, (iii) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant and the successor (as assignee) shall, jointly and severally, hold Landlord harmless against and indemnify Landlord for and from any commission(s) payable associated with the assignment, and (iv) the successor (as assignee) agrees to provide all proper current evidence of insurance as called for in this Lease prior to first entry upon, on or into the Premises. Landlord may condition any consent to any sublease, upon the execution and delivery to Landlord of a commercially reasonable form of sublease agreement as between Tenant and such subtenant, under the terms of which (i) Tenant shall continue to remain primarily liable for the payment of all amounts of rental and other sums and performance of all covenants required of Tenant under the Lease, (ii) there shall be no modifications or amendments of the sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord, (iii) the subtenant shall not be granted any rights of Tenant under the Lease nor the power to exercise same, (iv) it is provided that in the event of any default under the terms and provisions of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to collect the rental attributable to the subleased space directly from the subtenant without waiving any of Landlord’s rights against Tenant, (v) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant and the subtenant shall, jointly and severally, hold Landlord harmless against and indemnify Landlord for and from any commission(s) payable associated with the sublease, and (vi) nothing in the sublease will be deemed to amend or modify the Lease as between Tenant and Landlord, and the subtenant will expressly confirm and acknowledge that the sublease is inferior and subordinate to the Lease in all respects.

 

11.22 LANDLORD PROTECTION. Landlord will have the right to finance any and all future projects that Tenant is the owner, operator or investor in, on similar terms or as otherwise mutually agreed, with all such leases being cross collateralized and cross defaulted with this Lease. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant covenants and agree that it will not invest in or build or operate a facility that is reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the Property during the Term of this Lease and that Tenant will not operate, invest in or build such a competitive facility unless the status of the operations at the Premises and the net operating income actually support the need for additional facilities.

 

11.23 LANDLORD ASSIGNMENT. Landlord will have the right to sell, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease. Any such sale, transfer or assignment will operate to release Landlord from any and all liability under this Lease arising after the date of such sale, assignment or transfer, so long as successor landlord assumes the obligations of landlord hereunder.

 

11.24 OPTIONS TO RENEW. Provided Tenant is not in default or violation of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period at the time of exercise or commencement of the following described option, beyond thereto applicable notice and cure period, Tenant is granted two (2) successive options (each, an “ Option Term ”, collectively, the “ Option Terms ”, and successively the “ First Option Term ” and the “ Second Option Term ”) to extend the term of the Lease following the initial Term and then following the First Option Term if so exercised, upon the following terms and conditions. The Tenant shall deliver written notice of its intent to exercise each Option Term, delivering such written notice to Landlord prior to but not after the date which is three hundred sixty four (364) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term (as to the First Option Term) or three hundred sixty four (364) days prior to the expiration of the First Option Term (for the Second Option Term), but no earlier than the date which is fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term. Subject to the conditions herein expressed, delivery of the written notice of the intent to exercise the then applicable Option Term shall irrevocably commit the Tenant to the Option Term so exercised. Each Option Term shall be subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, except as modified by this provision (meaning, no further options will be re-imposed, subject only to the Second Option Term). If Tenant does not so exercise any such Option Term in the time and manner herein provided, time being strictly of the essence, any and all of Tenant’s option rights for the Option Term at bar (and any otherwise succeeding Option Term) shall irrevocably be deemed waived. The Base Rent and monthly installments thereof for each year of each Option Term shall be as specified on the attached Rental Schedule, if exercised.

C.

D. TENANT’S PRIMARY DUTY. All agreements and covenants to be performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent.

All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs incurred or paid by Landlord shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and Tenant shall pay the same to Landlord on written demand, together with interest on all such sums and costs from the date of expenditure by Landlord to the date of repayment by Tenant at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

 

E. ABANDONED PROPERTY .

The undersigned agrees that the tenant may be dispossessed and/or Landlord may avail itself of or exercise any or all of the rights and/or remedies against the tenant provided by law or by the Lease, and may proceed either against the tenant alone or jointly against the tenant and the undersigned or against the undersigned alone without proceeding against the tenant. The undersigned does hereby further consent to any subsequent changes, modifications and/or amendments of the Lease and any of its terms, covenants and conditions, or in the rents payable thereunder, and/or to any assignment or assignments or subleases of the Lease, and/or to any renewals or extensions thereof, all of which may be made without notice to or consent of the undersigned and without in any manner releasing or relieving the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty.

 

The undersigned does hereby further agree that in respect of any payments made by the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned shall not have any rights based on suretyship or otherwise to stand in the place of Landlord so as to compete with Landlord as a creditor of Tenant or any co-guarantor, irrespective of any lien subordination otherwise granted by Landlord, unless and until all claims of Landlord under the Lease shall have been fully paid and satisfied. The undersigned further agrees that the bankruptcy of Tenant or the filing by or against Tenant for relief or remedy under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any foreign, state or local laws of similar import shall have no effect on the obligations of the undersigned hereunder notwithstanding that the Lease may have been disaffirmed or otherwise impaired. This Guaranty and any of the provisions hereof cannot be modified, waived or terminated, unless in writing, signed by Landlord. All losses, damages, attorneys’ fees through all levels of proceedings, whether or not suit be instituted, and other costs and expenses of whatsoever nature which Landlord incurs in connection with or incidental to the enforcement of this Guaranty shall be payable immediately by the undersigned to Landlord. If the undersigned fails to pay any amount payable under this Guaranty when due, interest on such amount shall accrue at the highest legal rate per annum chargeable to the undersigned in the State wherein the Demised Premises are situate.

 

  11  
 

 

The provisions of this Guaranty shall apply to and bind and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and Landlord and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; and if there is more than one (1) Guarantor, the liability hereunder shall be joint and several. The undersigned further represents to Landlord, as an inducement for Landlord to make the Lease, that the undersigned (or either of them, alone) owns all of the entire outstanding capital (and/or other) stock (or evidence of ownership interests) of the Tenant, that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is not in contravention of the charter or by-laws or applicable state laws governing such Tenant (or the undersigned where the undersigned is an entity), and has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors and/or managing member, if required, its shareholders or other ownership interest holders of Tenant (and the undersigned where the undersigned is an entity).

 

During the Term of the Lease which this Guaranty is related to, Guarantor covenants and agree that they will not invest in or build or operate a facility that is reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the Property during the Term of the Lease and that Tenant and Guarantor will not operate, invest in or build such a competitive facility unless the status of the operations at the Premises and the net operating income actually support the need for additional facilities. Guarantor covenants and agrees to focus a sufficient and appropriate amount their professional acumen and time and attention on Tenant’s activities and Tenant’s ability to service its debt and pay its Rent to Landlord on a consistent and timely basis.

 

Upon request of Landlord (or any successor thereto), the undersigned agrees to deliver (i) a Secretary’s certification and resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of the Lease and/or, (ii) from time to time, a written estoppel statement assuring the recipient that this Guaranty remains in full force and effect and is fully enforceable in accordance with its terms, and including any other reasonable statement relating hereto as the requesting party may require. The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any federal, state, county or municipal court sitting in the State of Colorado in respect to any action or proceeding brought therein by Landlord against the undersigned concerning any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty.

 

The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents to the service upon it of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of such process to the undersigned at the Premises or at such other address as the undersigned may specify in a writing sent to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and hereby agrees that such service shall be deemed sufficient. The undersigned agrees that any final judgment rendered against it in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The undersigned further agrees that any action or proceeding by the undersigned against Landlord in respect to any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty shall be brought only in the State Court having jurisdiction over the County and/or municipality or local political subdivision (as applicable) where the Property covered by the Lease is located, and that the undersigned shall not object in any proceeding to the jurisdiction and venue thereof. This Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as there is not an existing default under the Lease or an event of default which is ongoing on the fifteenth (15 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Lease, this Guaranty and the obligations hereunder shall thereafter be of no further force or effect and this Guaranty shall terminate. If an event of default exists on the fifteenth (15 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Lease, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect for the remainder of the Term of the Lease.

Undersigned guarantors who indicate accordingly, represent and warrant that they are married to each other as husband and wife.

 

AS A FURTHER INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD TO MAKE THE LEASE AND IN CONSIDERATION THEREFOR, LANDLORD AND THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY AGREE THAT IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER LANDLORD OR THE UNDERSIGNED AGAINST THE OTHER IN RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE LEASE OR THIS GUARANTY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THAT LANDLORD AND THE UNDERSIGNED SHALL AND DO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; AND THE PARTIES FURTHER HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE IRREVOCABLE AND MUTUALLY, KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE AFTER EACH PARTY HAS HAD THE BENEFIT OF OR OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN LEGAL ADVICE AND COUNSEL. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS, WARRANTS AND AFFIRMS TO THE OTHER THAT NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED, REPRESENTED OR OTHERWISE SUGGESTED OR IMPLIED THAT IT WILL NOT FULLY ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ALL INSTANCES. LANDLORD IS DEEMED TO HAVE JOINED IN THE WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL AND RELATED PROVISIONS OF THIS CAPITALIZED PARAGRAPH BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING IN THE EVENT ANY PROVISION OF THIS GUARANTY IS PROHIBITED, UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING THOSE OF THE STATE INDICATED ABOVE, SUCH PROHIBITION, UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID PROVISION SHALL NOT IN ANY FASHION AFFECT THE ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING PROVISIONS HEREOF.

The undersigned does hereby further agree that in respect of any payments made by the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned shall not have any rights based on suretyship or otherwise to stand in the place of Landlord so as to compete with Landlord as a creditor of Tenant or any co-guarantor, irrespective of any lien subordination otherwise granted by Landlord, unless and until all claims of Landlord under the Lease shall have been fully paid and satisfied. The undersigned further agrees that the bankruptcy of Tenant or the filing by or against Tenant for relief or remedy under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any foreign, state or local laws of similar import shall have no effect on the obligations of the undersigned hereunder notwithstanding that the Lease may have been disaffirmed or otherwise impaired. This Guaranty and any of the provisions hereof cannot be modified, waived or terminated, unless in writing, signed by Landlord. All losses, damages, attorneys’ fees through all levels of proceedings, whether or not suit be instituted, and other costs and expenses of whatsoever nature which Landlord incurs in connection with or incidental to the enforcement of this Guaranty shall be payable immediately by the undersigned to Landlord.

During the Term of the Lease which this Guaranty is related to, Guarantor covenants and agree that they will not invest in or build or operate a facility that is reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the Property during the Term of the Lease and that Tenant and Guarantor will not operate, invest in or build such a competitive facility unless the status of the operations at the Premises and the net operating income actually support the need for additional facilities. Guarantor covenants and agrees to focus a sufficient and appropriate amount their professional acumen and time and attention on Tenant’s activities and Tenant’s ability to service its debt and pay its Rent to Landlord on a consistent and timely basis.

 

Upon request of Landlord (or any successor thereto), the undersigned agrees to deliver (i) a Secretary’s certification and resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of the Lease and/or, (ii) from time to time, a written estoppel statement assuring the recipient that this Guaranty remains in full force and effect and is fully enforceable in accordance with its terms, and including any other reasonable statement relating hereto as the requesting party may require. The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any federal, state, county or municipal court sitting in the State of Colorado in respect to any action or proceeding brought therein by Landlord against the undersigned concerning any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty.

1. PROPERTY; TERM.

 

1.1 PREMISES Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain property identified as Lot 18, Tamarack Subdivision, 19977 Tamarack Circle, Ordway, Colorado 81063, which shall be deemed and stipulated to contain 2.11 acres and approximately 13,000 rentable square feet of greenhouse and other related space (the “Building”) for all purposes of this Lease and irrespective of any variation thereof which might ever be determined by measurement (together, the land and Building shall be referred to as the “Premises”). The Premises is situated on the real property described by address in Exhibit A attached hereto (“ Property ”) and also depicted along with the approximate location of the Premises on that certain site plan (“ Site Plan ”) attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 . The Building and the location of the Premises are as shown on the Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 .

 

1.2 LEASE TERM. The term of this Lease (“ Term ”) shall be two hundred forty (240) full calendar months plus the portion of the month in which the Commencement Date defined below occurs if the Commencement Date is other than the first day of the month; and subject to the possibility of two (2) options to renew, each for a period of five (5) years, subject to the terms, timing, conditions and rents applicable thereto as specified below. The continuation of the Term into any such renewal option shall also be deemed to give rise to a period called part of the Term hereunder. The Term shall commence on the closing on the acquisition of the property by the Landlord. Tenant shall have no right to possession of the Premises until Tenant has provided Landlord with a certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance coverages that Tenant is obligated to maintain pursuant to this Lease together with a copy of its validly issued and currently effective Colorado State license to operate a grow/processing facility for medical marijuana. Notwithstanding tender and the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Tenant is expressly prohibited from commencing its contemplated use hereunder in and at the Premises, except for the “Minor Preparations” defined below, until such time as (X) the conditions above in this Paragraph have been satisfied, and (Y) all of Tenant’s Cannabis Use Permits defined below have been secured and reasonably evidenced to Landlord, and (Z) all local licenses and permits required to be obtained to operate Tenant’s business have been obtained and delivered to Landlord. “ Minor Preparations ” means minimal preparations for operations such as installation of security cameras, patching, décor placements, and similar activities but expressly excluding any actual performance of physical construction or permanent improvements (and where in doubt, Landlord will promptly reasonably respond with a decision as to any specific activity to be taken which Tenant believes should qualify as Minor Preparations, advising if same is or is not Minor Preparations). For these purposes the “ Cannabis Use Permits ” are defined as follows is defined as follows:

 

1.2.1 Cannabis Use Permits : Tenant acknowledges and agrees and Landlord requires, that Tenant shall secure all State of Colorado and all County of Crowley Colorado required licenses and approvals of all applicable jurisdictions and regulatory bodies, including those required under the Marijuana Code, Title 44, Article 11, Section 101 et. seq. (the “MMC”) as well as the Colorado Constitution, Article XVIII, those promulgated by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies and the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses to operate for its intended medical marijuana grow and/or process facility, and any other permitted use per Tenant’s permit, including without limitation, those necessary to be in compliance with all State of Colorado regulations noted in the MMC (collectively, the “ Cannabis Use Permits ”). Tenant shall evidence all such Cannabis Use Permits by providing a copy of same to Landlord along with a letter from Tenant’s legal counsel enclosing same and confirming that those enclosures represent all State of Colorado required approvals or permits that are available to evidence to a Landlord; and shall advise Landlord that Tenant has secured such Cannabis Use Permits and is at such time in compliance with same, and that all such Cannabis Use Permits remain in full force and effect with the State of Colorado at that time. As of the Effective Date the parties acknowledge that rules, regulations and requirements of the State of Colorado pertaining to the intended use hereunder include those described at the website for the State of Colorado’s “Medical Marijuana Code”, https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/enforcement/statues-colorado-revised-statutes-crs ; Tenant shall at all times remain in compliance therewith; and such web site refers among other things to the implementation of the Department’s rules for all forms of marijuana, including medical marijuana, overseeing the statewide Medical Marijuana Use Registry, licensing of Colorado businesses to cultivate, process, and dispense marijuana; and among other implementing legislation and regulation, Article 11, Colorado Statutes and Colorado Administrative Code Chapter 44 found in the Department of State Colorado Administrative Register (“ CAR ”).

 

 
 

 

1.2.2 Zoning Approval Letter : On or before commencement of the Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, secure all required local permits, licenses and approvals (“ Permits and Approvals ”) required to commence operations for its grow/process facility and shall provide Landlord with a copy of all such Permits and Approval showing their effectiveness with no appeals pending, no appeal instituted and no petition filed (the “Appeals Process”). Tenant covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to obtain all required zoning and local planning approvals or permits or variances and a writing from governmental authority indicating same (“ Zoning Approval Letter ”), which Zoning Approval Letter confirms that the contemplated use herein is allowed and approved for the Premises (inclusive of all parking requirements, if any, deemed necessary by governmental authority). Without cost to Landlord, Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant on request in Tenant’s efforts to secure its Zoning Approval Letter provided, “reasonably cooperate” means reasonably responding to inquiries to reasonably confirm facts or information and otherwise acting in a reasonable manner consistent with the purposes of this Lease toward the goal of enabling Tenant to secure its Permits and Approvals including executing applications that owners are required to sign or join in with tenants. Tenant shall evidence immediately to Landlord each and all of the Permits and Approvals as same are secured by Tenant.

 

1.2.3 Termination for Failure of Permits and Approvals :

 

(a) After the Commencement Date : If for any reason Tenant shall suffer a loss of its required Permits and Approvals including through State revocation as described in the CAR, Tenant shall immediately in writing notify Landlord and shall immediately cease all marijuana grow/processing business operations and activities in and at the Premises which otherwise are permitted by this Lease until such time as the lost and/or revoked Permits and Approvals have been re-secured and reasonably evidenced to Landlord. In addition:

 

(i) Without Fault : Should Tenant secure its Permits and Approvals but, then suffer a loss thereof, but only if such loss arises by reason of either a loss of local zoning approval or a revocation or loss of any of the Permits and Approvals, and such occurrence arises through no fault, no inaction, no omission, and no other conduct or action of Tenant which conduct or action is in breach of this Lease or breach by Tenant of the State rules and regulations and laws which govern under the Permits and Approvals, such event shall be called an “ Excused Loss of Approvals ”. In case of an Excused Loss of Approvals, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing upon receipt of written notice of same and Tenant may thereafter at any time until such lost Permits and Approvals have been re-secured, terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice of such termination (an “ Excused Termination ”); provided, such an Excused Termination shall not be effective until the ninetieth (90 th ) day after the giving of written notice of such termination unless Landlord elects for such Excused Termination to be effective sooner (including retroactively to the date of such loss). An Excused Termination shall be deemed and treated as though the Lease had been thereby automatically amended to establish such termination date as the date of natural expiration of the Term without renewal, extension or other option exercise (with any previously exercised option automatically thereby deemed withdrawn).

 

(ii) With Fault : Should Tenant secure its Permits and Approvals during the above noted period but, thereafter suffer a loss thereof but only if such loss arises by reason of either a loss of local zoning approval or a revocation or loss of any of the Permits and Approvals where such loss or revocation so arises through fault, inaction, omission, or other conduct or action of Tenant which conduct or action is in breach of this Lease or breach by Tenant of the State rules and regulations and laws which govern under the Permits and Approvals, such event shall be called an “ Unexcused Loss of Approvals ”. In case of an Unexcused Loss of Approvals, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing upon written receipt of same and Landlord may thereafter at any time until such lost Permits and Approvals have been re-secured, terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice of such termination (an “ Unexcused Termination ”); provided, such an Unexcused Termination shall not be effective until the ninetieth (90 th ) day after the giving of written notice of such termination. During such 90-day period, if Tenant is able to re-secure such lost Permits and/or Approvals, as applicable, the Unexcused Termination will not take effect. In case of an Unexcused Termination, same shall also constitute a breach and default of this Lease for which all remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative.

 

 
 

 

1.2.4 Landlord’s Right of Termination for Legal Climate Risk Change : If at any time during the Term(s) of the Lease, the legal landscape in which Colorado sanctioned and approved use herein contemplated interplays with the Federal Issues (defined below), is altered such that there has occurred or there is imminent to occur (or actually occurring) a seizure of Landlord’s property, or imminent to occur (or actually occurring) Federal action to impose or seek criminal sanctions or civil forfeiture upon Landlord or any of its assets by reason of this Lease and/or the related activities contemplated herein to occur (or occurring), then Landlord may terminate the Lease upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Tenant of termination, whereupon the Lease shall be deemed and treated as though it had naturally expired on the indicated termination date set forth in such notice, unless Tenant is able to prevent or cure, as applicable, the material adverse consequence prior to such termination date and provided further, during such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall cease any operation or activity to the extent necessary to address the actual threat to Landlord as credibly presented and communicated in writing to Tenant. Landlord expressly acknowledges, however, that the current legal landscape as of the Effective Date hereof, including the current status of Federal Issues, shall not in and of itself constitute such a legal climate risk change permitting any such termination. Upon any such termination, Landlord shall not have any obligation to reimburse or recompense Tenant for any costs Tenant has incurred related to Tenant’s improvements of the Premises; the Building shall remain on the Property; and in any event rents and charges hereunder shall remain due and owing through any actual termination date arising.

 

2. RENT AND OTHER CHARGES.

If any payment due from Tenant shall remain overdue for more than ten (10) days, interest shall accrue daily on the past due amount from the date such amount was due until paid or judgment is entered at a rate equivalent to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum and the highest rate permitted by law. Interest on the past due amount shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the five percent (3.0%) late charge or any other remedy available to Landlord.

 

 
 

 

2.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. This Lease shall be deemed to be a “triple net” lease, it being the express understanding and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Base Rent due hereunder shall be absolutely net to Landlord and that all costs and expenses for the Premises, to the extent practicable, shall be paid directly to the applicable service provider or entity charging such expense by Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall pay all expenses arising in connection with the Premises, including without limitation, all Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined).

This mutual release and waiver shall apply regardless of the cause or origin of the loss or damage, including negligence of the parties hereto, their respective agents and employees except that it shall not apply to willful conduct.

5.4.2 LANDLORD’S INDEMNITY. Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant from, and agrees to hold Tenant harmless against, any and all liability for any loss, injury or damage, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed on Tenant by any person whomsoever, that occurs in the Building or anywhere in the Property and that is caused by or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents. Landlord expressly does not indemnify Tenant from any consequence of any Federal Issues.

 

The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

6. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION.

 

6.1 DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES. If the Premises are at any time damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire, casualty or other causes, Landlord shall have sixty (60) days from such damage or destruction to determine and inform Tenant whether Landlord will restore the Premises to substantially the condition that existed immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. If Landlord elects to rebuild, Landlord shall complete such repairs to the extent of insurance proceeds within one hundred eighty (180) days from the end of the sixty (60) day period. If such repairs have not been completed within that 180-day period, and Tenant desires to terminate the Lease as a result thereof, then Tenant must notify Landlord prior to Landlord’s completion of the repairs of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall then have ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate to complete such repairs (as evidenced by a certificate of completion). If Landlord does complete such repairs prior to the expiration of such ten-day cure period, Tenant shall have no such right to terminate this Lease. Tenant shall, upon substantial completion by Landlord, promptly and diligently, and at its sole cost and expense, repair and restore any improvements to the Premises made by Tenant to the condition which existed immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. If, in Landlord’s architect’s or general contractor’s reasonable estimation, the Premises cannot be restored within two hundred forty (240) days of such damage or destruction, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of a date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given. Until the restoration of the Premises is complete, there shall be an abatement or reduction of Base Rent in the same proportion that the square footage of the Premises so damaged or destroyed and under restoration bears to the total square footage of the Premises, unless the damaging event was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, officers, agents, licensees, invitees, visitors, customers, concessionaires, assignees, subtenants, contractors or subcontractors, in which event there shall be no such abatement.

 

 
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if damage to more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or destruction of the Premises shall occur within the last year of the Term, as the same may be extended as provided hereinafter and Landlord notifies Tenant that (i) Landlord will restore the Premises to their condition prior to the casualty, and (ii) Landlord desires to extend the Term of the Lease with Tenant, then Landlord and Tenant shall extend the Term for an additional period so as to expire five (5) years from the date of the completion of the repairs to the Premises, provided Tenant gives written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s agreement to extend the Term within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. Such extension shall be on the terms and conditions provided herein, if an option to extend this Lease remains to be exercised by Tenant hereunder, or under the terms prescribed in Landlord’s notice, if no such further extension period is provided for herein. Upon receipt of such notice from Tenant, Landlord agrees to repair and restore the Premises within a reasonable time. If Tenant refuses or fails to timely extend the Term as provided herein, Landlord at its option shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damaging event, or to restore the Premises and the Lease shall continue for the remainder of the then unexpired Term, or until the Lease is otherwise terminated as provided herein.

 

6.2 CONDEMNATION.

 

6.2.1 TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If the whole of the Premises (provided that if 60% or more of the Premises are taken, Tenant may deem that all of the Premises are taken), or such portion thereof as will make the Premises unusable, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for the purposes leased hereunder, shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or sold to public authority under threat or in lieu of such taking, the Term shall cease as of the day possession or title shall be taken by such public authority, whichever is earlier (“ Taking Date ”), whereupon the rent and all other charges shall be paid up to the Taking Date with a proportionate refund by Landlord of any rent and all other charges paid for a period subsequent to the Taking Date. If less than the whole of the Premises, or less than such portion thereof as will make the Premises unusable as of the Taking Date, is taken, Base Rent and other charges payable to Landlord shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of the Premises taken. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by the taking to the extent necessary to make the Premises reasonably tenantable within the limitations of the available compensation awarded for the taking (exclusive of any amount awarded for land).

 

6.2.2 AWARD. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the Premises or Building including the value of the leasehold estate created hereby shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant; Tenant shall have no claim to any such award based on Tenant’s leasehold interest. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant, at its cost, from independently prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceeding for damage to, or cost of removal of, stock, trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal property belonging to Tenant; provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect Landlord’s award or the award of any mortgagee.

 

7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

 

7.1 Tenant shall, at its expense, throughout the Term and all renewals and extensions thereof, maintain in good order, condition and repair the Premises, including but not limited to heating and air conditioning equipment, walls, floors and ceilings, window exteriors, mechanical and electrical systems and equipment exclusively serving the Premises, electric light fixtures, bulbs, tubes and tube casings, doors, floor coverings, dock doors, levelers, plumbing system and plumbing fixtures, Tenant’s signs and utility facilities not maintained by Landlord. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to extend to Tenant the benefit from warranties on such items, if any, that have been made by Landlord’s contractors or vendors and to extend to Tenant, as and if available, any bulk buying power that Landlord may have with such contractors or vendors. If any portion of the Premises or any system or equipment in the Premises which Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired, Tenant shall promptly replace the same, regardless of whether the benefit of such replacement extends beyond the Term. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain a preventive maintenance contract providing for the regular inspection (at least quarterly) and maintenance of the heating and air conditioning system by a licensed and qualified heating and air conditioning contractor, or Tenant shall perform such HVAC inspection and maintenance with duly licensed and qualified employee. The cost of such preventive maintenance contract shall be paid by Tenant and an expense solely chargeable to Tenant; but if Landlord so elects, same may be billed directly by Landlord to Tenant where Landlord on Tenant’s behalf enters into such preventive maintenance contract and in such case shall be deemed Additional Rent (Landlord alone may so elect whether to enter into such preventive maintenance contract on Tenant’s behalf). Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to undertake the responsibility for preventive maintenance of any other system or component at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall be responsible for janitorial services and trash removal from the Premises, at Tenant’s expense. Landlord and Tenant intend that, at all times during the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in good order and condition and appearances reasonably commensurate with the balance of the Property.

 

 
 

 

All of Tenant’s obligations to maintain and repair shall be accomplished at Tenant’s sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain and repair the Premises as required by this Section, Landlord may, on 10 days’ prior written notice (except that no notice shall be required in case of emergency), enter the Premises and perform such maintenance or repair on behalf of Tenant. In such cases, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for all costs incurred in performing such maintenance or repair plus an administration fee equal to 5% of such actual and reasonable costs or expenses.

 

7.2 CONDITION UPON TERMINATION. Upon the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and with all systems in good working order, condition and repair, except for damage caused by casualty, condemnation and ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease. However, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage that Landlord is required to repair under Section 7.1. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Premises or Building caused by the removal of any of Tenant’s personal property. In no event shall Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment: any power wiring or power panels; light fixtures; environmental control systems; heaters, air conditioners, or any other heating or air conditioning equipment (other than movable equipment brought upon the Premises by Tenant); plumbing fixtures; or other similar building operating equipment.

The above remedies shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from pursuing any other remedies permitted by law. Landlord’s election not to enforce one or more of the remedies upon an event of default shall not constitute a waiver. However, notwithstanding anything else herein, Landlord hereby expressly disclaims, relinquishes and rejects any Landlord’s lien that otherwise by law, statute or contract might arise in or to any marijuana product and/or related products, chemicals or substances that, the ownership, possession, use, sale or distribution of which, but for the Legal Compliance Clarification, would or might be deemed contrary to Federal law or Federal regulations or enforcement positions by the Federal government or any agency, arm or authority thereof (“ Federal Issues ”).

8.4 WAIVER. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to, a default.

 

8.5 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages, but prior to any such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice in which to commence the appropriate cure of such default. Unless and until Landlord fails to commence and diligently pursue the appropriate cure of such default after such notice or complete same within a reasonable period of time, Tenant shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, neither Landlord nor any officer, director, partner, shareholder, or member of Landlord shall have any individual or personal liability whatsoever under this Lease.

If Landlord’s interest in the Building or Property is acquired by any ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu thereof, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Lease, Premises, Building or Property and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee under any mortgage shall have the right at any time to subordinate any such mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as the mortgagee in its discretion may consider appropriate.

The Security Deposit represents security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of each and every term of this Lease. Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other default of Tenant. The Security Deposit shall not constitute liquidated damages. If after notice, Tenant fails to cure and Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord. No interest shall accrue to or for the benefit of Tenant on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts, and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit.

11.20 RIDERS AND EXHIBITS. All Riders, Addenda and Exhibits attached hereto and referenced herein shall be deemed to be a part hereof and are hereby incorporated.

 

11.21 TENANT ASSIGNMENT. Tenant will not assign this Lease, in whole or in part, or sublease the Premises, in whole or in part other than to a “Permitted Transferee” (hereafter defined). For these purposes, a “Permitted Transferee” means (i) any “Parent”, “Subsidiary” or “Affiliate” of Tenant as each of those terms is hereafter defined as well as (ii) the resulting entity after a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity or company as well as (iii) an entity purchasing all of Tenant’s Colorado grow/processing operations. A “Parent” is an entity which owns all or a controlling and majority interest in the stock or other membership or similar issued and outstanding indices of ownership of Tenant; “Subsidiary” is an entity in which Tenant owns all or a controlling and majority interest of such entity’s stock or other membership or similar issued and outstanding indices of ownership; and an “Affiliate” is any entity in which Tenant’s Parent owns all or a controlling and majority interest of such entity’s stock or other membership or similar issued and outstanding indices of ownership. Tenant shall in writing promptly notify Landlord of reasonable detail concerning any such Permitted Transferee and the transaction giving rise to same. Should Tenant nonetheless seek Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublet, the parties acknowledge that Landlord has a heightened interest in analyzing same and has reserved the absolute right to deny consent so as to help minimize concerns about Federal Issues; and this sentence is expressly intended to alter otherwise common law obligations of reasonableness for assignment or sublet requests. In addition, should Tenant nonetheless seek such approval or consent to an assignment or sublet, same shall be subject to Landlord’s right of recapture set forth below. If notwithstanding all the foregoing such a request for approval or consent is made and Landlord in fact determines to allow same to occur, then: Any assignment of this Lease shall require that the assignee assume all obligations of Tenant. In no event will Tenant be released from any obligation or liability under this Lease following any such assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, approve or disapprove any proposed assignment or sublease by Tenant to an existing occupant of any space in the Property or an affiliate of any such occupant. No subtenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, may further assign or sublease its interest in the Premises or any portion thereof. In the event of a proposed assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Premises, in each case to a non-Permitted Transferee, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the sum of Three Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500.00), together with any legal fees and disbursements incurred in the preparation and/or review of any such documentation, within thirty (30) days of invoice for payment thereof, as Additional Rent, if such assignment or sublease to a non-Permitted Transferee is approved. For clarity, there shall be no fee for an assignment or sublease of Tenant’s interest in the Premises or any portion thereof to a Permitted Transferee. If the rent due and payable by any assignee or subtenant under any permitted assignment or sublease exceeds the Rent payable under this Lease for such space, Tenant will pay to Landlord all such excess rent and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant. Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to reconvey to Landlord that portion of the Premises which Tenant is seeking to assign or sublet. Tenant shall reconvey that portion of the Premises in consideration of Landlord’s release of Tenant from all future Rent and other obligations, which would not otherwise survive termination of the Lease, with respect to the portion of the Premises so reconveyed. Any such reconveyance shall be evidenced by an agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in form and substance.

 

 
 

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment or sublease whatsoever shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay all rent and to perform all obligations to be paid and performed by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all direct costs and shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any assignment or sublease requested by Tenant. Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, consider all factors cognizable by law as reasonable to evaluate and consider in making its determination of whether to consent, including making a study of the financial wherewithal and credit of any proposed successor or subtenant and, in the case of an assignment, may require additional guaranties as appropriate to satisfy reasonable financial standards and criteria for approval. Any guaranty of an individual offered shall be joined by spouse and shall be in Landlord’s then current commercially reasonable form. Landlord may condition any consent to any assignment, upon the execution and delivery of Landlord’s commercially reasonable form of instrument, executed by Landlord, Tenant, the successor (assignee) tenant, and any new guarantor(s) then so arising, under the terms of which (i) the Tenant (as assignor) agrees and confirms to the foregoing continued obligations and liabilities and assigns all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Lease and all moneys having been paid thereunder, including any security deposit, (ii) the successor (as assignee) agrees to assume the Lease in all respects and to assume all obligations of payment and performance thereunder, past, present and future, including for the express benefit of Landlord and accepts the Premises in its then as-is condition, (iii) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant and the successor (as assignee) shall, jointly and severally, hold Landlord harmless against and indemnify Landlord for and from any commission(s) payable associated with the assignment, and (iv) the successor (as assignee) agrees to provide all proper current evidence of insurance as called for in this Lease prior to first entry upon, on or into the Premises. Landlord may condition any consent to any sublease, upon the execution and delivery to Landlord of a commercially reasonable form of sublease agreement as between Tenant and such subtenant, under the terms of which (i) Tenant shall continue to remain primarily liable for the payment of all amounts of rental and other sums and performance of all covenants required of Tenant under the Lease, (ii) there shall be no modifications or amendments of the sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord, (iii) the subtenant shall not be granted any rights of Tenant under the Lease nor the power to exercise same, (iv) it is provided that in the event of any default under the terms and provisions of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to collect the rental attributable to the subleased space directly from the subtenant without waiving any of Landlord’s rights against Tenant, (v) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant and the subtenant shall, jointly and severally, hold Landlord harmless against and indemnify Landlord for and from any commission(s) payable associated with the sublease, and (vi) nothing in the sublease will be deemed to amend or modify the Lease as between Tenant and Landlord, and the subtenant will expressly confirm and acknowledge that the sublease is inferior and subordinate to the Lease in all respects.

 

11.22 LANDLORD PROTECTION. Landlord will have the right to finance any and all future projects that Tenant is the owner, operator or investor in, on similar terms or as otherwise mutually agreed, with all such leases being cross collateralized and cross defaulted with this Lease. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant covenants and agree that it will not invest in or build or operate a facility that is reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the Property during the Term of this Lease and that Tenant will not operate, invest in or build such a competitive facility unless the status of the operations at the Premises and the net operating income actually support the need for additional facilities.

 

11.23 LANDLORD ASSIGNMENT. Landlord will have the right to sell, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease. Any such sale, transfer or assignment will operate to release Landlord from any and all liability under this Lease arising after the date of such sale, assignment or transfer, so long as successor landlord assumes the obligations of landlord hereunder.

 

11.24 OPTIONS TO RENEW. Provided Tenant is not in default or violation of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period at the time of exercise or commencement of the following described option, beyond thereto applicable notice and cure period, Tenant is granted two (2) successive options (each, an “ Option Term ”, collectively, the “ Option Terms ”, and successively the “ First Option Term ” and the “ Second Option Term ”) to extend the term of the Lease following the initial Term and then following the First Option Term if so exercised, upon the following terms and conditions. The Tenant shall deliver written notice of its intent to exercise each Option Term, delivering such written notice to Landlord prior to but not after the date which is three hundred sixty four (364) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term (as to the First Option Term) or three hundred sixty four (364) days prior to the expiration of the First Option Term (for the Second Option Term), but no earlier than the date which is fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term. Subject to the conditions herein expressed, delivery of the written notice of the intent to exercise the then applicable Option Term shall irrevocably commit the Tenant to the Option Term so exercised. Each Option Term shall be subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, except as modified by this provision (meaning, no further options will be re-imposed, subject only to the Second Option Term). If Tenant does not so exercise any such Option Term in the time and manner herein provided, time being strictly of the essence, any and all of Tenant’s option rights for the Option Term at bar (and any otherwise succeeding Option Term) shall irrevocably be deemed waived. The Base Rent and monthly installments thereof for each year of each Option Term shall be as specified on the attached Rental Schedule, if exercised.

GUARANTY

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED and in consideration for and as an inducement to Landlord granting, executing, delivering that certain lease of the Premises referenced in the annexed lease as Space No. at                       , in                 (the “Lease”), by                           , the Landlord (hereinafter called “Landlord”) to                 , the Tenant therein named (hereinafter called “Tenant”), and in further consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid by Landlord to the undersigned (the receipt and sufficiency thereof being mutually acknowledged), the undersigned does hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee to Landlord the full and timely payment of the rent, additional rents and other charges (hereinafter collectively called “rents”) and the full and timely performance of all other terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease on the part of the tenant under the Lease to be paid and/or to be performed thereunder, and if any default shall be made by the tenant under the Lease, the undersigned does hereby covenant and agree to pay to Landlord in each and every instance such sum or sums of money such tenant is or shall become liable for and/or obliged to pay under the Lease and/or fully to satisfy and perform any and all such other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on the part of the tenant thereunder to be paid or performed and also to pay any and all damages, expenses and attorneys’ fees including those incurred at all pre-trial, trial and appellate levels, and including attorneys’ fees in any bankruptcy proceedings, in any case whether suit be instituted or not (hereinafter collectively called “damages”) that may be suffered or incurred by Landlord in consequence of the non-payment, partial payment or late payment of said rents or the non-performance, partial performance or late performance of any such other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; such payments or rents to be made monthly or at such other intervals as the same shall or may become payable under the Lease, including any accelerations thereof; such performance of said other terms, covenants and conditions to be made when due under the Lease and such damages to be paid when incurred by Landlord, all without requiring any notice from Landlord or proof of notice or demand, all of which the undersigned hereby expressly waives.

 

The undersigned hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and any notice to or demand upon the undersigned which Landlord might otherwise be required to give or make in connection with any matter relating to this Guaranty. This Guaranty is absolute and is not conditioned upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease. The maintenance of any action or proceeding by Landlord to recover any sum or sums that may be or become due under the Lease or to secure the performance of any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease or to recover damages, shall not preclude Landlord from thereafter instituting and maintaining subsequent actions or proceedings for any subsequent default or defaults of the tenant under the Lease.

 

The undersigned does hereby consent that without affecting the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty and without notice to the undersigned, time may be given by Landlord to the tenant under the Lease for payment of rents and performance of said other terms, covenants and conditions, or any of them, and such time extended and indulgences granted, from time to time, shall not diminish or affect the obligations of the undersigned or relieve the undersigned from any liability under this Guaranty. The undersigned agrees that the tenant may be dispossessed and/or Landlord may avail itself of or exercise any or all of the rights and/or remedies against the tenant provided by law or by the Lease, and may proceed either against the tenant alone or jointly against the tenant and the undersigned or against the undersigned alone without proceeding against the tenant. The undersigned does hereby further consent to any subsequent changes, modifications and/or amendments of the Lease and any of its terms, covenants and conditions, or in the rents payable thereunder, and/or to any assignment or assignments or subleases of the Lease, and/or to any renewals or extensions thereof, all of which may be made without notice to or consent of the undersigned and without in any manner releasing or relieving the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty.

 

The undersigned does hereby further agree that in respect of any payments made by the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned shall not have any rights based on suretyship or otherwise to stand in the place of Landlord so as to compete with Landlord as a creditor of Tenant or any co-guarantor, irrespective of any lien subordination otherwise granted by Landlord, unless and until all claims of Landlord under the Lease shall have been fully paid and satisfied. The undersigned further agrees that the bankruptcy of Tenant or the filing by or against Tenant for relief or remedy under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any foreign, state or local laws of similar import shall have no effect on the obligations of the undersigned hereunder notwithstanding that the Lease may have been disaffirmed or otherwise impaired. This Guaranty and any of the provisions hereof cannot be modified, waived or terminated, unless in writing, signed by Landlord. All losses, damages, attorneys’ fees through all levels of proceedings, whether or not suit be instituted, and other costs and expenses of whatsoever nature which Landlord incurs in connection with or incidental to the enforcement of this Guaranty shall be payable immediately by the undersigned to Landlord. If the undersigned fails to pay any amount payable under this Guaranty when due, interest on such amount shall accrue at the highest legal rate per annum chargeable to the undersigned in the State wherein the Demised Premises are situate.

 

11
 

 

The provisions of this Guaranty shall apply to and bind and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and Landlord and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; and if there is more than one (1) Guarantor, the liability hereunder shall be joint and several. The undersigned further represents to Landlord, as an inducement for Landlord to make the Lease, that the undersigned (or either of them, alone) owns all of the entire outstanding capital (and/or other) stock (or evidence of ownership interests) of the Tenant, that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is not in contravention of the charter or by-laws or applicable state laws governing such Tenant (or the undersigned where the undersigned is an entity), and has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors and/or managing member, if required, its shareholders or other ownership interest holders of Tenant (and the undersigned where the undersigned is an entity).

 

During the Term of the Lease which this Guaranty is related to, Guarantor covenants and agree that they will not invest in or build or operate a facility that is reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the Property during the Term of the Lease and that Tenant and Guarantor will not operate, invest in or build such a competitive facility unless the status of the operations at the Premises and the net operating income actually support the need for additional facilities. Guarantor covenants and agrees to focus a sufficient and appropriate amount their professional acumen and time and attention on Tenant’s activities and Tenant’s ability to service its debt and pay its Rent to Landlord on a consistent and timely basis.

 

Upon request of Landlord (or any successor thereto), the undersigned agrees to deliver (i) a Secretary’s certification and resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of the Lease and/or, (ii) from time to time, a written estoppel statement assuring the recipient that this Guaranty remains in full force and effect and is fully enforceable in accordance with its terms, and including any other reasonable statement relating hereto as the requesting party may require. The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any federal, state, county or municipal court sitting in the State of Colorado in respect to any action or proceeding brought therein by Landlord against the undersigned concerning any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty.

 

The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents to the service upon it of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of such process to the undersigned at the Premises or at such other address as the undersigned may specify in a writing sent to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and hereby agrees that such service shall be deemed sufficient. The undersigned agrees that any final judgment rendered against it in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The undersigned further agrees that any action or proceeding by the undersigned against Landlord in respect to any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty shall be brought only in the State Court having jurisdiction over the County and/or municipality or local political subdivision (as applicable) where the Property covered by the Lease is located, and that the undersigned shall not object in any proceeding to the jurisdiction and venue thereof. This Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as there is not an existing default under the Lease or an event of default which is ongoing on the fifteenth (15 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Lease, this Guaranty and the obligations hereunder shall thereafter be of no further force or effect and this Guaranty shall terminate. If an event of default exists on the fifteenth (15 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Lease, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect for the remainder of the Term of the Lease.

Undersigned guarantors who indicate accordingly, represent and warrant that they are married to each other as husband and wife.

 

AS A FURTHER INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD TO MAKE THE LEASE AND IN CONSIDERATION THEREFOR, LANDLORD AND THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY AGREE THAT IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER LANDLORD OR THE UNDERSIGNED AGAINST THE OTHER IN RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE LEASE OR THIS GUARANTY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THAT LANDLORD AND THE UNDERSIGNED SHALL AND DO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; AND THE PARTIES FURTHER HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE IRREVOCABLE AND MUTUALLY, KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE AFTER EACH PARTY HAS HAD THE BENEFIT OF OR OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN LEGAL ADVICE AND COUNSEL. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS, WARRANTS AND AFFIRMS TO THE OTHER THAT NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED, REPRESENTED OR OTHERWISE SUGGESTED OR IMPLIED THAT IT WILL NOT FULLY ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ALL INSTANCES. LANDLORD IS DEEMED TO HAVE JOINED IN THE WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL AND RELATED PROVISIONS OF THIS CAPITALIZED PARAGRAPH BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING IN THE EVENT ANY PROVISION OF THIS GUARANTY IS PROHIBITED, UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING THOSE OF THE STATE INDICATED ABOVE, SUCH PROHIBITION, UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID PROVISION SHALL NOT IN ANY FASHION AFFECT THE ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING PROVISIONS HEREOF.

GUARANTY

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED and in consideration for and as an inducement to Landlord granting, executing, delivering that certain lease of the Premises referenced in the annexed lease as Space No.         at                    , in                     (the “Lease”), by                    , the Landlord (hereinafter called “Landlord”) to                        , the Tenant therein named (hereinafter called “Tenant”), and in further consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid by Landlord to the undersigned (the receipt and sufficiency thereof being mutually acknowledged), the undersigned does hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee to Landlord the full and timely payment of the rent, additional rents and other charges (hereinafter collectively called “rents”) and the full and timely performance of all other terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease on the part of the tenant under the Lease to be paid and/or to be performed thereunder, and if any default shall be made by the tenant under the Lease, the undersigned does hereby covenant and agree to pay to Landlord in each and every instance such sum or sums of money such tenant is or shall become liable for and/or obliged to pay under the Lease and/or fully to satisfy and perform any and all such other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on the part of the tenant thereunder to be paid or performed and also to pay any and all damages, expenses and attorneys’ fees including those incurred at all pre-trial, trial and appellate levels, and including attorneys’ fees in any bankruptcy proceedings, in any case whether suit be instituted or not (hereinafter collectively called “damages”) that may be suffered or incurred by Landlord in consequence of the non-payment, partial payment or late payment of said rents or the non-performance, partial performance or late performance of any such other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; such payments or rents to be made monthly or at such other intervals as the same shall or may become payable under the Lease, including any accelerations thereof; such performance of said other terms, covenants and conditions to be made when due under the Lease and such damages to be paid when incurred by Landlord, all without requiring any notice from Landlord or proof of notice or demand, all of which the undersigned hereby expressly waives.

 

The undersigned hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and any notice to or demand upon the undersigned which Landlord might otherwise be required to give or make in connection with any matter relating to this Guaranty. This Guaranty is absolute and is not conditioned upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease. The maintenance of any action or proceeding by Landlord to recover any sum or sums that may be or become due under the Lease or to secure the performance of any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease or to recover damages, shall not preclude Landlord from thereafter instituting and maintaining subsequent actions or proceedings for any subsequent default or defaults of the tenant under the Lease.

 

The undersigned does hereby consent that without affecting the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty and without notice to the undersigned, time may be given by Landlord to the tenant under the Lease for payment of rents and performance of said other terms, covenants and conditions, or any of them, and such time extended and indulgences granted, from time to time, shall not diminish or affect the obligations of the undersigned or relieve the undersigned from any liability under this Guaranty. The undersigned agrees that the tenant may be dispossessed and/or Landlord may avail itself of or exercise any or all of the rights and/or remedies against the tenant provided by law or by the Lease, and may proceed either against the tenant alone or jointly against the tenant and the undersigned or against the undersigned alone without proceeding against the tenant. The undersigned does hereby further consent to any subsequent changes, modifications and/or amendments of the Lease and any of its terms, covenants and conditions, or in the rents payable thereunder, and/or to any assignment or assignments or subleases of the Lease, and/or to any renewals or extensions thereof, all of which may be made without notice to or consent of the undersigned and without in any manner releasing or relieving the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty.

 

The undersigned does hereby further agree that in respect of any payments made by the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned shall not have any rights based on suretyship or otherwise to stand in the place of Landlord so as to compete with Landlord as a creditor of Tenant or any co-guarantor, irrespective of any lien subordination otherwise granted by Landlord, unless and until all claims of Landlord under the Lease shall have been fully paid and satisfied. The undersigned further agrees that the bankruptcy of Tenant or the filing by or against Tenant for relief or remedy under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any foreign, state or local laws of similar import shall have no effect on the obligations of the undersigned hereunder notwithstanding that the Lease may have been disaffirmed or otherwise impaired. This Guaranty and any of the provisions hereof cannot be modified, waived or terminated, unless in writing, signed by Landlord. All losses, damages, attorneys’ fees through all levels of proceedings, whether or not suit be instituted, and other costs and expenses of whatsoever nature which Landlord incurs in connection with or incidental to the enforcement of this Guaranty shall be payable immediately by the undersigned to Landlord. If the undersigned fails to pay any amount payable under this Guaranty when due, interest on such amount shall accrue at the highest legal rate per annum chargeable to the undersigned in the State wherein the Demised Premises are situate.

 

15
 

 

The provisions of this Guaranty shall apply to and bind and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and Landlord and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; and if there is more than one (1) Guarantor, the liability hereunder shall be joint and several. The undersigned further represents to Landlord, as an inducement for Landlord to make the Lease, that the undersigned (or either of them, alone) owns all of the entire outstanding capital (and/or other) stock (or evidence of ownership interests) of the Tenant, that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is not in contravention of the charter or by-laws or applicable state laws governing such Tenant (or the undersigned where the undersigned is an entity), and has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors and/or managing member, if required, its shareholders or other ownership interest holders of Tenant (and the undersigned where the undersigned is an entity).

 

During the Term of the Lease which this Guaranty is related to, Guarantor covenants and agree that they will not invest in or build or operate a facility that is reasonably likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the Property during the Term of the Lease and that Tenant and Guarantor will not operate, invest in or build such a competitive facility unless the status of the operations at the Premises and the net operating income actually support the need for additional facilities. Guarantor covenants and agrees to focus a sufficient and appropriate amount their professional acumen and time and attention on Tenant’s activities and Tenant’s ability to service its debt and pay its Rent to Landlord on a consistent and timely basis.

 

Upon request of Landlord (or any successor thereto), the undersigned agrees to deliver (i) a Secretary’s certification and resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of the Lease and/or, (ii) from time to time, a written estoppel statement assuring the recipient that this Guaranty remains in full force and effect and is fully enforceable in accordance with its terms, and including any other reasonable statement relating hereto as the requesting party may require. The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any federal, state, county or municipal court sitting in the State of Colorado in respect to any action or proceeding brought therein by Landlord against the undersigned concerning any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty.

 

The undersigned hereby irrevocably consents to the service upon it of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of such process to the undersigned at the Premises or at such other address as the undersigned may specify in a writing sent to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and hereby agrees that such service shall be deemed sufficient. The undersigned agrees that any final judgment rendered against it in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The undersigned further agrees that any action or proceeding by the undersigned against Landlord in respect to any matters arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease or this Guaranty shall be brought only in the State Court having jurisdiction over the County and/or municipality or local political subdivision (as applicable) where the Property covered by the Lease is located, and that the undersigned shall not object in any proceeding to the jurisdiction and venue thereof. This Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as there is not an existing default under the Lease or an event of default which is ongoing on the fifteenth (15 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Lease, this Guaranty and the obligations hereunder shall thereafter be of no further force or effect and this Guaranty shall terminate. If an event of default exists on the fifteenth (15 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Lease, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect for the remainder of the Term of the Lease.

 

16
 

 

Undersigned guarantors who indicate accordingly, represent and warrant that they are married to each other as husband and wife.

 

AS A FURTHER INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD TO MAKE THE LEASE AND IN CONSIDERATION THEREFOR, LANDLORD AND THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY AGREE THAT IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER LANDLORD OR THE UNDERSIGNED AGAINST THE OTHER IN RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE LEASE OR THIS GUARANTY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THAT LANDLORD AND THE UNDERSIGNED SHALL AND DO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; AND THE PARTIES FURTHER HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE IRREVOCABLE AND MUTUALLY, KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE AFTER EACH PARTY HAS HAD THE BENEFIT OF OR OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN LEGAL ADVICE AND COUNSEL. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS, WARRANTS AND AFFIRMS TO THE OTHER THAT NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED, REPRESENTED OR OTHERWISE SUGGESTED OR IMPLIED THAT IT WILL NOT FULLY ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ALL INSTANCES. LANDLORD IS DEEMED TO HAVE JOINED IN THE WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL AND RELATED PROVISIONS OF THIS CAPITALIZED PARAGRAPH BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING IN THE EVENT ANY PROVISION OF THIS GUARANTY IS PROHIBITED, UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING THOSE OF THE STATE INDICATED ABOVE, SUCH PROHIBITION, UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID PROVISION SHALL NOT IN ANY FASHION AFFECT THE ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING PROVISIONS HEREOF.

Power REIT Announces Acquisitions as Part of a New Investment Focus and Publishes Updated Investor Presentation

 

New investment focus on Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”)

 

New focus for acquisitions

 

Old Bethpage, NY, July 15, 2019, Power REIT (NYSE American: PW) is announcing an expanded focus for acquisitions. In addition to its existing high quality real estate related to transportation infrastructure and alternative energy, Power REIT is expanding its focus to include agricultural real estate with a focus on Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”). CEA is an innovative method of growing plants that involves creating optimized growing environments for a given crop indoors. Power REIT intends to focus on CEA related real estate for growing food as well as cannabis.

 

Controlled Environment Agriculture

 

Power REIT believes agricultural production is ripe for technological transformation and that we are at the early stages of a boom in agricultural venture capital that, among other things, will shift food production for certain crops from traditional outdoor farms to CEA “food factories.” Since a significant portion of any given CEA enterprise is real estate, Power REIT sees an opportunity to participate in the trend towards indoor agriculture.

 

CEA facilities are generally greenhouses or industrial properties specifically designed to efficiently grow crops. Power REIT will primarily focus on greenhouses as opposed to other forms of indoor agriculture properties based on a thesis that for many crops, greenhouses should be the most cost competitive producer given the higher capital and operating costs associated with other indoor growing facilities that do not benefit from sunlight for their crops.

 

Controlled Environment Agriculture for Food Production

 

CEA for food production is widely adopted in parts of Europe and is becoming an increasingly competitive alternative to traditional farming for a variety of reasons. CEA caters to consumer desires for sustainable and locally grown products. Locally grown indoor produce will have a longer shelf life as the plants are healthier and also travel shorter distances thereby reducing food waste. In addition, a controlled environment produces high-quality pesticide free products that eliminates seasonality and provides highly predictable output that can be used to simplify the supply chain to the grocer’s shelf.

 

 
 

 

As the amount of productive farmland continues to decline, CEA can provide a sustainable and economic solution to feed our growing population. Climate change is having a negative impact on traditional farming and is making once rich areas for farming arid and inhospitable. Hydroponic growing use 95% less water and can grow more than twenty-times traditional farming in the same area. Simply put, CEA can lower the carbon footprint associated with our food supply.

 

Power REIT has an active pipeline of CEA projects it is pursuing.

 

Controlled Environment Agriculture for Cannabis

 

The legal cannabis industry in the United States is projected to hit $25 billion of revenue by the year 2025.

 

With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, the cultivation of hemp was legalized and regulated across the Unites States. Hemp is produced from the Cannabis Sativa strain and has properties that contain almost no THC, the federally illegal hallucinogenic compound found in marijuana. Hemp has many industrial uses including textiles, animal bedding and mulch. Hemp is also commonly used to produce CBD which is used in a variety of skincare and homeopathic products ranging from oils and moisturizers to sleep and relaxation aids.

 

Currently 34 states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes and 11 of those states have also legalized adult recreational use of marijuana. Many other states have decriminalized marijuana use even without formally changing laws and many remaining States continue to evaluate legalization. In addition, there is the potential for federal legalization across the United States at some point in the future given the momentum generated at the State level.

 

Power REIT is focused on investing in the cultivation and production side of the cannabis industry through the ownership of real estate. As such it is not directly in the cannabis business and also not even indirectly involved with facilities that sell cannabis directly to consumers. By serving as a landlord, Power REIT believes it can generate attractive risk adjusted returns related to the fast growing cannabis industry and that this offers a safer approach than investing directly in cannabis operating businesses.

 

Acquisition of greenhouse properties in Colorado for cultivation and processing of Cannabis

 

On July 15, 2019, through wholly owned subsidiaries, Power REIT is announcing that it has completed the acquisition of two greenhouse properties in southern Colorado. One property was acquired for $1,075,000 and is 2.11 acres and has an existing greenhouse and processing facility totaling 12,996 square feet. The other property was acquired for $695,000 and is 5.2 acres and has an existing greenhouse and processing facility totaling 5,616 square feet. The total combined purchase price of $1,770,000 plus acquisition expenses was paid with existing working capital.

 

 
 

 

Concurrent with the closing on the acquisitions we entered into leases with a tenant that is licensed for the production of medical marijuana at the facilities. The tenant is an affiliate of a company that is active in the Colorado cannabis market and currently has two indoor cultivation facilities and five dispensary locations. The tenant has also received a preliminary approval to operate a dispensary in the town where the properties are located. The leases require the tenant to maintain a medical marijuana license and operate in accordance with all Colorado and local regulations with respect to their operations and also prohibits the retail sale of its products from the properties.

 

The leases provide that tenant is responsible for paying all expenses related to the properties including maintenance expenses, insurance and taxes. The term of each of the Leases is 20 years and provides two options to extend for additional five-year periods. The Leases also have financial guarantees from affiliates of the tenant.

 

The rent for each of the leases is structured whereby after a six-month free-rent period, the rental payments provide a full return of invested capital over the next three years in equal monthly payments. After the 42nd month, rent is structured to provide a 12.5% return on the original invested capital amount which increases at a 3% rate per annum. At any time after year 6, the rent level will be readjusted down to an amount equal to a 9% return on the original invested capital amount and will increase at a 3% rate per annum based on a starting date of the start of year seven.

 

The combined straight-line annual rent will be approximately $331,000 although, as described above, the rental payments are accelerated such that we receive a full return of capital over the first 42 months of the lease. David Lesser, Power REIT’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “These acquisitions represent a starting point for our new focus on greenhouse based Controlled Environment Agriculture projects and will be immediately accretive to earnings. We have an active pipeline of potential acquisitions that we are pursuing. Given the small size of our company, we believe that we can deploy capital for real estate focused on Controlled Environment Agriculture on a highly accretive basis.”

 

Both properties have plans to expand the greenhouse growing and processing space and the leases provide that we have the right to fund such projects on comparable terms to the original leases. Mr. Lesser commented that “this creates the built-in ability for us to deploy additional capital on risk adjusted terms that should prove to be attractive and on a highly accretive basis.”

 

The greenhouse properties are located in a very favorable plant-growing environment that benefits from over 360 days of sunlight annually and offers a dry climate. In addition the local communities are supportive of cannabis growing facilities unlike places which are confronted with “not in my backyard” pressures. Both properties have been granted “use by right” authority from the county to grow cannabis which provides long-term stability to allow the facility to grow cannabis. In addition, both properties are located in an Opportunity Zone. Opportunity Zones were created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and provide a deferral of and potentially an elimination of capital gains related to qualified investments.
