CONSIDERATION
4.01 Rental Fee. Lessee, in consideration of the foregoing, covenants and agrees to pay to

following calendar month (“Due Date”), the monthly rental fee of $3,132.00 (“Rental Fee”), plus all
taxes for the rental of the Leased Premises levied upon Lessee’s occupancy of the Leased Premises,
as determined based on the following: (i) forty-four (44) covered parking spaces at $37.00 per month
for each leased covered Parking Space, for a total of $1,628.00 monthly plus tax; and (ii) forty-seven
(47) uncovered parking spaces at $32.00 per month for each uncovered Parking Space, for a total of
$1,504.00.
4.01.1 Payment of Rental Fee. The Rental Fee shall be paid in lawful currency of

Fee in full on or before the Due Date, Lessee shall be responsible for interest on the unpaid installment
at the rate of twelve (12%) per annum from the Due Date until payment in full is made. In addition,
in the event any installment of Rental Fee is paid more than twenty (20) days after the Due Date, a
late penalty equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount of such delinquent installment shall be due and
payable in addition thereto; provided, however, the two (2) initial installments of the Rental Fee may
be paid late, without penalty, so long payment in an amount constituting the first three (3) months of
Rental Fees is received by Lessor within fifteen (15) days of the execution of this Agreement by
Lessor and Lessee.
ii. Maricopa County. Notwithstanding the requirements of
Section 4.01.01(A)(i), for so long as Maricopa County is the Lessee under this Agreement and the
owner of the Centennial Property, then Maricopa County is exempt from the interest requirements for
unpaid Rental Fee installments and the late penalty fee set forth in Section 4.01.1(A)(i).
B. Advance Payment Discount. Lessee, at its option, may pay the Rental
Fee in advance on an annual basis in lieu of monthly payments. If Lessee makes payment in advance
on an annual basis on or before September 1st for the period of September 1st through August 31st of
the following year, Lessee will be entitled to a ten percent (10%) discount on the Rental Fee for the
period paid.
4.01.2 Payment of Lesser Amount; Recovery of Balance. No payment to or receipt
by Lessor of a lesser amount than that which is due and payable under the provisions of this
Agreement at any time of such payment shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the
earliest payment due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment prejudice in
any way Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such payment or pursue any other remedy provided
in this Agreement or by law.
4.02 Payment Procedure. Lessor shall issue an invoice to Lessee at least thirty (30) days
prior to the Due Date by mailing it to the address or email address provided in Section 26.01 of this
Agreement. All payments shall be remitted to the Lessor to the address provided in Section 26.01 of
this Agreement.
{00381504.1}
L-7488
C-78-21-XXX-1-00
4.03 No City Expenses. Except as set forth herein related to Lessor’s obligations under
this Agreement, including those related to maintenance, insurance and the payment of any real
property taxes as the owner of the Property, Lessee agrees to pay all expenses related to this
Agreement or Lessee’s use of the Leased Premises, and Lessee’s shall indemnify and save harmless
Lessor from and against any and all expenses, taxes and insurance incurred by Lessor that are the
obligation of Lessee to pay as specifically set forth herein.
4.04 Taxes. Lessee will pay, without notice (except as specifically provided), and without
abatement, deduction or setoff, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto, or
become due or be imposed by operation of law for the nonpayment thereof, all sums, impositions,
costs, expenses and other payments and all taxes including taxes on rents, leases or occupancy,
Government Property Lease Excise Tax under the provisions of A.R.S. §§ 42-6201, et seq.
(“GPLET”) (subject to Section 4.05), and assessments, special assessments, enhanced municipal
services district assessments, rates and charges, excises, levies, licenses and permit fees, and other
governmental or quasi-governmental taxes or charges, general and special, ordinary and
extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, of any kind or nature whatsoever which, at any time during
the Term may be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon, or grow or become due and payable out
of or with respect to, or become a lien on or encumbering, the Leased Premises, or any part thereof,
or any appurtenances thereto, or any use or occupation of the Leased Premises, except for those taxes
or charges for which Lessee may be exempt under applicable law.
4.05 Government Property Lease Excise Tax. It is the Parties’ reasoned belief that this lease
Agreement and any subleases entered into pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to excise tax
liability and other restrictions imposed under the GPLET provisions of A.R.S. §§ 42-6201, et seq.
because: (i) the Leased Premises are not a “government property improvement” as defined in in A.R.S.
§ 42-6201(2) because there is no building for which a certificate of occupancy was issued on the
Property or the Leased Premises; and (ii) the Premises are being used for a governmental activity,
entitling this Agreement to an exemption under A.R.S. § 42-6208(1). Lessee is solely responsible
for ensuring that all subleases and assignments meet the exemption from GPLET. Further, Lessee
disclaims all right to seek any abatement of tax pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-6209. If any excise or other
tax applicable to subleasing the Leased Premises or assigning this Agreement becomes payable under
GPLET or any subsequently-enacted statute, then Lessee is responsible for the payment of such tax.

(whether in contract, tort, or otherwise), suits, claims, demands, and judgments of every kind, character
and nature whatsoever from third parties (collectively, the “Liabilities”) directly or indirectly arising
from or relating to , in whole or in part, any of the following:
A. Lessee’s performance under this Agreement, or due to Lessee’s, or its officers’,

shall not be applicable to Liabilities that are directly and solely the result of the gross negligence or

the other Party and its officials, elected officials, employees, volunteers, and agents (collectively, the

of the Indemnitor, its officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers. The terms and conditions
of this Section 13.02 are applicable solely and exclusively to Maricopa County as the Lessee, are not
assignable or transferrable by Maricopa County, and in the event this Agreement is validly assigned
by Maricopa County in accordance with its terms, this Section shall not apply to the assigned Lessee
and any other future assignee or successor Lessee.
13.03 No Limits on Indemnification. The procuring of any policies of insurance shall not
be construed to be a limitation upon Lessor’s liability or viewed as a full performance on its part of
its duty to Indemnify required under this Agreement.

all means which Lessor deems necessary to gain access to the Leased Premises and Lessee’s personal
property in the event of an emergency.

17.01 No Assignment.
A. General. Lessee may not sublet, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge,
hypothecate, allow use of or encumber the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without Lessor's
prior, written approval, which may be granted or denied in Lessor’s sole, reasonable discretion. Any
such transfer without said approval, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be void and will confer no
right of occupancy upon said assignee or purchaser.
B. Maricopa County. Provided, however, nothwithstanding the provisions of
Section 17.01(A), if Maricopa County sells or conveys the ownership of the Centennial Property, then
Maricopa County, at its sole discretion and without Lessor approval, is permitted to assign this
Agreement one time to the successor owner of the Centennial Property so long as Maricopa County
provides Lessor written notice of such assignment within fifteen (15) days of the sale or conveyance
{00381504.1}
L-7488
C-78-21-XXX-1-00
and the successor owner assumes the obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section
17.02. Following an assignment by Maricopa County in accordance with this Section 17.01(B), the
Maricopa County Provisions will have no force or effect except for those liabilities or issues related
to Maricopa County that arose prior to the assignment.
17.02 Assumption of Obligations. Any transfer or assignment of this Agreement that is
approved by the Lessor must include a written agreement in which the transferee/assignee expressly
agrees to the assignment and to perform all of the obligations of the Lessee under this Agreement,
except for those obligations or rights set forth in the Maricopa County Provisions, which are
specifically solely and exclusively given to Maricopa County as Lessee, as those obligations and
rights are not transferrable or assignable.
17.03 Non-Subordination. Lessor’s interest in the Property and this Agreement, as the same
may be modified, amended or renewed, shall not be subject or subordinate to: (i) any mortgage now
or hereafter placed upon Lessee’s interest in this Agreement; or (ii) any other liens, encumbrances or
other matters hereafter affecting Lessee’s interest in this Agreement.
17.04 Liens and Mortgages. Except as may be permitted under the terms of the Agreement,
Lessee shall not engage in any financing or other transaction creating any mortgage or deed of trust
upon the Property or this Agreement, or place or suffer to be placed upon the Property any lien or
other encumbrance, or suffer any levy or attachment to be made on Lessee’s interest in the Leased
Premises or this Agreement. Except as contemplated in this Agreement, any such mortgage or deed
of trust, encumbrance, or lien shall be deemed to be a violation of this Section, constituting a failure
by Lessee to comply with the terms of the Agreement, on the date of its execution or filing of record
regardless of whether or when it is foreclosed or otherwise enforced.
ARTICLE 18
UNLAWFUL USE
18.01 No Unlawful Use. Lessee agrees no improvements shall be erected, placed upon,
operated or maintained on the Leased Premises, nor shall business be conducted or operated thereon

insolvent, or for its reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of Lessee’s property;
an assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors or the taking of possession of the property of
Lessee by any governmental officer or agency pursuant to statutory authority for the liquidation of
Lessee.
{00381504.1}
L-7488
C-78-21-XXX-1-00
B. Failure of Lessee to pay any installment of rent due or any other amount due
from Lessee under this Agreement, provided that Lessee does not cure such failure within fifteen (15)
calendar days after delivery by Lessor of a written notice of such failure.
C. Failure of the Lessee to perform any of its other obligations under this
Agreement, provided that Lessee does not cure such failure within thirty (30) calendar days after
delivery by Lessor of a written notice of such default; provided, however, if a cure of the default
reasonably requires more than thirty (30) calendar days to complete, then the time to cure shall be
extended so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
D. Failure of the Lessee, to pay any tax liability of Lessee under this Agreement
that Lessee does not cure such failure within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery by Lessor of a
written notice of such default; provided, however, if a cure of the default reasonably requires more
than thirty (30) calendar days to complete and Lessor agrees, then the time to cure shall be extended
so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
E. Abandonment of the Leased Premises, as provided in Section 19.02 hereof.
F. The filing of any mechanic’s, materialmen’s, or other lien of any kind against
the Leased Premises or Property because of any act or omission of Lessee which lien is not discharged
by bonding or otherwise, within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of actual notice thereof by Lessee.
G. The failure of Lessee to meet all of its material obligations under this
Agreement, whether or not specifically designated as material, including Lessee’s obligation to
maintain all insurance coverage required by this Agreement (and any cure must cover any lapsed or
uncovered period of time), provided that Lessee does not cure such failure within thirty (30) calendar
days after delivery by Lessor of a written notice of such default; however, if a cure of the default
reasonably requires more than thirty (30) calendar days to complete, then the time to cure shall be
extended so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
19.02 Abandonment. If Lessee, prior to the expiration or other termination of this
Agreement, relinquishes possession of the Leased Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent, or
fails to utilize the Leased Premises for a period of sixty (60) days, such occurrence will be deemed to
be an abandonment of the Leased Premises and an event of default under this Agreement.
19.03 Waiver. There shall be no implied waivers. No express waiver by Lessor or Lessee
of any breach or default by the other Party in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default by Lessor or Lessee in the performance of
any of such obligations, and no express waiver shall affect an Event of Default (Section 19.01) or
Lessor Default (Section 19.04) in a manner other than as specified in the waiver. The consent or
approval by Lessor or Lessee to or of any act by the other Party requiring Lessor’s or Lessee’s consent
or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Lessor’s or Lessee’s consent or
approval to or for any subsequent similar acts by the other Party.
19.04 Lessor Default. The following shall constitute a material default of this Agreement
by Lessor (a “Lessor Default”): the failure of Lessor to perform any of its material obligations under
this Agreement when Lessor does not cure such failure within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery
by Lessee of a written notice of such default; provided, however, if a cure of the default reasonably
{00381504.1}
L-7488
C-78-21-XXX-1-00
requires more than thirty (30) calendar days to complete, then the time to cure shall be extended so
long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
19.05 Content of Default Notice. Any default notice tendered by either Party hereunder
shall be deemed to be sufficient if it is reasonably calculated to put the other Party on inquiry as to
the nature and extent of such default.
19.06 Obligations Unconditional. Lessee acknowledges and agrees—regardless of any
event, occurrence or situation, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and however extraordinary—that it
will perform its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section 19.06 are not intended
by the Parties to create an independent obligation and/or an independent cause for an Event of Default.
ARTICLE 20
TERMINATION
20.01 Termination for Default by Lessee. If an Event of Default occurs as defined in Section

21.03 Election to Terminate.
{00381504.1}
L-7488
C-78-21-XXX-1-00

Agreement unless written notice of such intention is given to Lessee. Lessee agrees to pay as
additional rent all attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing any of
Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement. Any amount due from Lessee to Lessor under this
Agreement which is not paid when due will bear interest at the highest rate allowed by Arizona law.
B. Maricopa County. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 21.03(A), for so long
as Maricopa County is the Lessee under this Agreement and the owner of the Centennial Property,
then Maricopa County is exempt from the interest requirements set forth in Section 21.03(A).

cumulative, and no one of them shall be construed as exclusive of any other or of any right, priority
or remedy allowed or provided by law or in equity. .
B. Assigned Lessee. If this Agreement has been validly assigned by Maricopa County
to a new Lessee, then upon the occurrence of a Lessor Default under this Agreement, subject to any
cure or notice period set forth herein, the assigned Lessee’s sole and exclusive remedies shall be
seeking specific performance from Lessor and termination of this Agreement. Lessee shall not seek,
and hereby specifically waives any right to any other remedies, including damages from Lessor for
loss of profits, loss of any other revenue, loss of business opportunity, loss of good will, or loss due
to business interference.

interest in the Leased Premises, Lessor shall be automatically freed and released from all liability
accruing from and after the date of such sale or conveyance as respects the performance of any
covenant or obligation on the part of Lessor contained in this Agreement to be performed. Upon such
a sale or conveyance, the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement on the part of Lessor
shall be binding on its successors or assigns. Lessor and any of its successors in interest agree not to

subordinate its rights under the Agreement to the lien of any first mortgage or first deed of trust, or to
the interest of any lease in which the Lessor is lessee (collectively, “Lien/Lease”) and to all advances
made or hereafter to be made thereunder. However, before signing the Subordination Agreement,
Lessee shall have the right to obtain from any lender or lessor requesting such subordination, an
agreement in writing providing that, as long as Lessee is not in default hereunder, the Agreement shall
remain in effect for the full Term. The holder of any security interest in the Property may, upon
written notice to Lessee, elect to have the Agreement prior to its security interest regardless of the
time of the granting or recording of such security interest. In the event of any foreclosure sale, transfer
in lieu of foreclosure or termination of the Lien/Lease, Lessee shall attorn to the purchaser or the
transferee as the case may be, and recognize that party as Lessor under the Agreement, provided such
party acquires and accepts the Property subject to the Agreement.
23.03 Estoppel Certificates. Within thirty (30) days after written request from Lessor, Lessee
shall execute and deliver to Lessor or Lessor’s designee, a written statement in substantially the same
form as Exhibit C which is attached hereto and made a part hereof certifying: (i) that the Agreement
is unmodified and in full force and effect, or is in full force and effect as modified and stating the
modifications; (ii) the amount of base consideration and the date to which the base consideration and
additional consideration have been paid in advance; (iii) the amount of any security deposited with

stating the nature of any claimed default. Any such statement may be relied upon by a purchaser,
assignee, or lender.
ARTICLE 24
HOLDING OVER

ARTICLE 25
CONDEMNATION
25.01 Entire or Partial Condemnation. If the whole or any part of the Leased Premises shall
be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purposes during the Term
of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the part of the Leased Premises so
taken, and Lessee reserves unto itself the right to claim and prosecute its claim in all appropriate courts
and agencies for any award or damages based upon loss, damage or injury to its Agreement hold
interest (as well as relocation and moving costs) without impairing any rights of Lessor for the taking
of or injury to the Lessor’s interests.
25.02 Continuation of Agreement. In the event of a taking of less than all of the Leased
Premises, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the portion of the Leased Premises
not so taken; the Rental Fee shall not be adjusted except if the taking materially affects Lessee’s use
of the Leased Premises and in such event the Rental Fee shall be equitably adjusted as agreed to by
the Parties. Provided, further, however, if the taking is so material that the remaining part of the
Leased Premises cannot feasibly be used or converted for use by Lessee for the uses contemplated by
the Agreement, Lessee may, at its option, terminate this Agreement within ninety (90) days after such
taking by serving upon Lessor at any time within said ninety (90) day period, a thirty (30) day written
notice of Lessee’s election to so terminate accompanied by a certificate of Lessee that the remaining
part of the Leased Premises cannot feasibly be used or converted for use by Lessee.
25.03 Temporary Taking. If the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Leased
Premises or the appurtenances thereto shall be taken, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any
way. The entire award of such taking (whether paid by way of damages, rent, or otherwise) shall be
payable to Lessee, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning authority shall extend
beyond the date of expiration of this Agreement, in which event the award made for such taking shall
be apportioned between Lessor and Lessees of the date of such expiration.
25.04 Notice of Condemnation. In the event any action is filed to condemn the Leased
Premises or Lessee’s leasehold estate or any part thereof by any public or quasi-public authority under
the power of eminent domain, either Lessor or Lessee shall give prompt notice thereof to the other
Party. Each Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to represent its respective interest
in each proceeding, negotiation or settlement with respect to any taking or threatened taking and to
make full proof of its claims. No agreement, settlement, conveyance or transfer to or with the
condemning authority affecting Lessee’s leasehold interest shall be made without the consent of
Lessee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
