This LEASE AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”) is by and between________("Landlord"), and _________ ("Tenant").
1. PREMISES AND POSSESSION. The Landlord hereby leases to the Tenant and the Tenant hereby takes from the Landlord, for the Term and upon the conditions hereinafter provided, the Premises consisting of __________("Premises").
2. TERM. This lease shall begin on the ___ day of ___(month)__ , __(year)_____ , and end on the last day of ___(month)__ , __(year)____ ,unless sooner terminated as provided herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. This shall be known as the Initial Term. The Tenant shall have two successive options to extend the Term of this Lease by providing written notice to Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days in advance of the last day of the Term that would expire, but for the notice of the exercise of this option. Each option is for the right to extend the Term by five (5) years upon the conditions stated in this Lease.
3. LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant is taking the Premises and accepting the condition of the Premises "AS IS" and Landlord is under no obligation to make any structural or other alterations, decoration, additions or improvements. Tenant shall not make, and shall not commence, any improvement that has not been previously approved by the Landlord. If any improvement is made or commenced without the Landlord's consent, and the Landlord does not give subsequent approval thereof, the Tenant shall, upon receiving written notice from the Landlord, restore that portion of the Premises affected by the improvement to its preexisting condition at Tenant's expense.
4. BASE RENT. The Tenant agrees to pay to the Land lord at such other place as the Land lord may hereafter from time to time designate in writing, without demand, annual Base Rent in the amount of _______ Dollars ($_______ ), payable in monthly installments of _______ Dollars ($_______ ).
a. Renewal Terms. (Not required) If Tenant exercises its options to extend the Term of this Lease, the Base Rent for the renewal term(s) shall be as follows:
i. For the first Renewal Term of ___ years, the annual Base Rent shall be _______ Dollars ($_______ ), payable in equal monthly installments.
ii. For each year of the second Renewal Term, the Base Rent shall increase from _______ Dollars ($_______ ) by the same percentage as the increase in the CPI (as defined below), as follows:
1. The annual Base Rent during each year of any Renewal Term will be a total amount equal to _______ Dollars ($_______ )plus _______ Dollars ($_______ ) multiplied by a percentage equal to the percentage of increase of the "CPI" (as defined below) from ___(month)__ , __(year)_____ to the December immediately preceding the beginning of that year of the Renewal Term, as calculated below.
2. By way of example, if the CPI is ten percent (10%) higher in December 2018 than it was in December 2012, the Base Rent for the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 would be increased by ten percent (10%) to $52,800 ($48,000+$4,800).If the CPI for any December immediately preceding a year of the second Renewal Term is lower than it was in December 2012, the annual Base Rent for that year will be Forty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($48,000.00).
3. The "CPI" shall mean the Revised Consumer's Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, U.S. City Average All Items, Series A (19821984 = 100), published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the CPI is not published for a month, then the CPI published for a month closest, but prior, to such month shall be utilized. If the format or components of the CPI are materially changed or discontinued after the execution of the Lease, Landlord shall substitute an index which is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or similar agency and comparable to the CPI. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the substituted index used to calculate the Renewal Term Base Rent.
b. Due Date. All monthly installments of Base Rent shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term. In the event any fractional months occur during the Term, the Tenant shall pay Base Rent on a pro rata basis calculated on the ratio of the actual number of days the Tenant is in possession to the total days in the month in question. The Base Rent and Operating Costs are sometimes here in collectively referred to as the rent.
c. Independent Covenant. Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Rent, Operating Costs and other amounts due under this Lease is an independent covenant, and is and shall not be subject to any abatement, deduction, counterclaim, reduction, set-off or defense of any kind whatsoever. The covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease are dependent upon the performance by Tenant of all of its covenants and obligations hereunder.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. There shall be no security deposit paid by Tenant.
6. OPERATING COSTS. Tenant shall assume responsibility for all gas, electric, telephone, cable, security systems, trash removal, water, sewer, satellite, and internet utilities for the Premises, and shall immediately notify all such utility companies that Tenant is assuming responsibility for all usage and other charges due for the Premises. Tenant shall also be responsible for the following "Operating Costs" for the Premises: all regular property taxes and special assessments or other governmental impositions which shall accrue or are payable in respect of any part of the Premises during the Term of this Lease; all other governmental impositions, including but not limited to amounts payable under assessment agreements relating to the Premises; fees for professional services; fees for professional plumbing, electrical, or cleaning services for common areas. All utilities and trash removal shall be placed in the Tenant's name and account, and shall be paid directly by Tenant to the utility supplier. Tenant shall pay premiums for all insurance, procured by Tenant pursuant to paragraph 20 below, directly to its insurance agent or insurance carrier. All taxes and special assessments shall be paid by Landlord and assessed to Tenant on a monthly basis, and shall be due from Tenant as Additional Rent immediately upon Tenant's receipt of an invoice from Landlord, unless the invoice indicates that the payments are due in installments (e.g., an invoice for real estate taxes may state that 1/12 of the taxes is due each month). If monthly installments are due, they are due on the first day of each month unless otherwise indicated by the Landlord. If taxes or special assessments apply retroactively, they shall be assessed to Tenant retroactively.
7. TENANT'S SIGNAGE. Any signage, displays, or graphics of any nature whatsoever relative to the business conducted on the Premises, whether located on the Premises, in the Premises, or elsewhere, as well as all other portions of the Premises that may be observed from outside of the Premises, shall be provided at the expense of the Tenant, but shall be subject, however, to the written approval of the Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All signage existing at the commencement of this Lease is deemed approved. As to any signage which Tenant proposes to implement after the date of execution of this Lease, the Tenant shall submit to the Landlord the plans, for the Landlord's approval, for any such signage, displays, or graphics prior to their implementation. If the Landlord's approval is obtained, the Tenant may not thereafter modify the same without again obtaining the Landlord's approval. This provision shall specifically apply to such signage, display, or graphics placed in any window of the Premises, or elsewhere in the Premises, which may be seen from outside the Premises. All signage in place at the time this Lease is executed is specifically approved.

The costs of routine maintenance and repair of the Premises shall be paid directly by the Tenant.
a. Tenant's Maintenance Obligations.

The Tenant shall permit no waste, damage, or injury to the Premises. If the Tenant refuses or neglects to commence necessary repairs within a reasonable period (no longer than ten (10) consecutive days) after written request, or does not adequately complete such repairs within a reasonable period (no longer than ten (10) consecutive days) after written request, or does not adequately complete such repairs within a reasonable time thereafter, the Landlord may make the repairs without liability to the Tenant for any loss or damage that may occur to the Tenant's stock or business by reason thereof, and if the Landlord makes such repairs, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord amount so paid by the Landlord and/or all costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in making the above maintenance or repair, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be deemed to be additional rent for the Premises and shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand.
b. Glass Windows. The Tenant shall replace, forthwith, any cracked or broken glass with glass of the same quality, including plate glass or glass and other breakable materials used in structural portions in any interior or exterior windows and doors in the Premises.

13. ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements in or to the Premises, or add, disturb, or in any way change any plumbing or wiring therein without the written consent of the Landlord as to the character and detailed plans of the alteration, addition, or improvement to be made, the manner of doing the work, the appropriate indemnifications for the Landlord, the persons to do the work, the providing of the costs therefor, the returning of the Premises to the condition in which they were at the commencement (if required by the Landlord), and other requirements or assurances that may be required by the Landlord.
14. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING.

The consent by Land lord to any Assignment shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from the terms of any covenant or obligation under this Lease, nor shall the collection or acceptance of rent from any transferee under an Assignment constitute an acceptance of the Assignment or a waiver or release of Tenant or any transferee of any covenant or obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall any Assignment be construed to relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the consent in writing of Landlord to any further Assignment.
15. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. If fire or other casualty shall render the Premises untenantable for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease forthwith, in which case all rent owed to the Landlord shall be calculated and paid to the Landlord within ten (10) days of the Landlord's request therefor and any prepayments of rent shall be credited against the rent owed to the Landlord. If the Premises can be restored to a tenantable condition within ninety (90) days from the date of such event, then, at the Landlord's option, by notice in writing to the Tenant, mailed within thirty (30) days after such event, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, with the exception that the Base Rent for the period during which the Premises were untenantable shall be abated pro rata.

If a portion of the Premises shall be taken by any public authority under the power or threat of eminent domain, the Base Rent shall be abated pro rate based on the percentage of square footage taken.
17. SURRENDER AND TREATMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS. On the last day of the Term or on the sooner termination thereof, the Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises in the condition required of the Tenant and consistent with the Tenant's duty to make alterations, modifications, or repairs pursuant to this Lease.

All nonpermanent alterations, additions, improvements, and fixtures that may be made or installed by the Tenant on the Premises shall remain at all times the property of the Tenant and shall be removed by the Tenant on termination of this Lease.
a. Designation by Landlord. At the time the Tenant applies for the Landlord's written consent to any alterations, additions, improvements, and fixtures, the Landlord shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, which are to be deemed permanent and which are nonpermanent for purposes hereof, provided, however, that failure of the Landlord to do so shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to do so at a later time, or of any of its other rights with respect thereto pursuant to statute or common law.
b. Tenant's Failure to Surrender. If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the Term or sooner termination thereof, the Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against any loss or liability from delay by the Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, claims made by any succeeding Tenant founded on such delay. The Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys for the Premises to the Landlord at the place then fixed for payment of rent and shall inform the Landlord of combinations on any locks and safes on the Premises.
c. Holding over. In the event that the Tenant, with the Landlord's express permission, remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of its Lease without the execution of a new Lease, it shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, subject to all the conditions and provisions of this Lease, insofar as the same can be applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the Base Rent shall be double the amount stated herein.
18. DEFAULT. The following shall constitute an "Event of Default" under the terms of this Lease:

The "Interest Rate" as used herein means the lesser of: the maximum rate permitted by law; and eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
II. Waiver. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installments of rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on
account of the earliest stipulated rent nor shall any endorsement or statement on any
check or letter accompanying a check for payment of rent be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, nor shall acceptance of rent with knowledge of breach constitute a waiver of
the breach, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent, to terminate this Lease, to repossess
the Premises or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. No re-entry by
Landlord, and no acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant shall be considered an
acceptance of a surrender of the Lease.
III. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Landlord shall have any one or more of the following remedies:
a. The Landlord may immediately terminate this Lease by notice to the Tenant. Upon such termination by the Landlord, the Tenant will at once surrender possession of the Premises to the Landlord and remove all of the Tenant's effects therefrom; and the Landlord may forthwith re-enter the Premises and repossess itself thereof, and remove all persons and effects therefrom using such force as may be necessary without being guilty of trespass, forcible entry or detainer or other tort.
b. Enter upon and take possession of the Premises by picking or changing the locks if necessary, and lock out, expel or remove the Tenant or any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, with or without having terminated this Lease;
c. Landlord may enter upon the Premises by force if necessary without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and remedy such default for the account and at the expense of the Tenant without thereby waiving such default, and the Tenant further agrees that the Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action;
d. Whether or not this Lease has been terminated, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, attempt to relet the Premises for the account of Tenant in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and for such terms (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Landlord, in its uncontrolled discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the rent therefor.
e. No termination of this Lease pursuant to Subsection (a) or repossession of the Premises pursuant to Subsection (b) shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive any such termination or repossession. In the event of any such termination or repossession, whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent, Operating Costs, and other sums and charges to be paid by Tenant up to the time of such termination or repossession, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such termination or repossession, shall pay to Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant's default, the equivalent of the amount of the Base Rent, Operating Costs, and such other sums and charges which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (d) after deducting all of Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage and management commissions, operating expenses, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Base Rent would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such day.
f. In the event the Tenant deserts, vacates or abandons the Premises, the Landlord may remove and store any property which remains in the Premises. In addition to the Landlord's other rights, the Landlord may dispose of the stored property if the Tenant does not claim the property within ten (10) days after the date the property is stored. The Landlord may charge a reasonable storage fee, which fee Tenant must pay before claiming the property. The Landlord shall deliver by certified mail to the Tenant, at the address specified for notice to the Tenant herein, a notice that the Landlord may dispose of the property if the Tenant does not claim it within ten (10) days after the date the property is stored.
g. The Landlord may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to collect any amounts due and owing under this Lease and/or to compel the Tenant to perform any and all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
h. The Landlord may charge all costs to cure any default or offset any loss caused by the Tenant's default to the Tenant as additional rent; and
i. The Tenant shall pay, in addition to the rent and other sums agreed to be paid hereunder, all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the Landlord that result from enforcing the provisions of this Lease.
19. INSURANCE. The Tenant agrees to secure and keep in force from and after the Commencement Date of this Lease and throughout the full Term of the Lease, at the Tenant's own cost and expense, the following:
a. "All Risk" property insurance on the Tenant's Premises, as well as the entire Premises. Such insurance shall include coverage for the full replacement value of all of Tenant's leasehold improvements, trade fixtures and personal property within the premises. Landlord shall be named as loss payee under all such policies.
b. Commercial general liability insurance on the Premises as well as the Premises, providing coverage on an "occurrence" rather than a "claims made" basis, which policy shall include coverage for Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal Injury, Contractual Liability (applying to this Lease), and Independent Contractors, in current Insurance Services Office form or other form which provides coverage at least as broad. Tenant shall maintain a combined policy limit of at least $1,000,000 applying to Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Personal Injury, which limit may be satisfied by Tenant's basic policy, or by the basic policy in combinations with umbrella or excess policies so long as the coverage is at least as broad as that required herein. Such liability, umbrella and/or excess policies may be subject to aggregate limits so long as the aggregate limits have not at any pertinent time been reduced to less than the policy limit stated above, and provided further that any umbrella or excess policy provides coverage from the point that such aggregate limits in the basic policy become reduce or exhausted. Landlord shall be name as an additional insured under all such policies.
i. Other Requirements. All policies of insurance procured by the Tenant shall:
ii. Be issued by insurance companies reasonably acceptable to the Landlord;
iii. Be written as primary policies not contributing with and not in excess of coverage that the Landlord may carry;
iv. All comprehensive general liability insurance procured by the Tenant under this section shall be issued for the benefit of the Landlord, the Tenant and the owner of the Premises, as their respective interests may appear;
v. Contain endorsements providing as follows:
1. That such insurance may not be materially changed, amended, or canceled with respect to the Landlord except after twenty (20) days' prior written notice from the insurance company to the Landlord, sent by registered mail;

c. Proof of Coverage. The original policy or policies, or duly executed certificates for the same, together with reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment of the premium thereof, shall be delivered to the Landlord within five (5) days of the date of execution of this Lease, and on renewals of such policies not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the term of any such coverage.
20. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
a. Waiver and indemnity. Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby release one another and their respective partners, officers and employees from any and all liability (to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any loss or damage covered by property insurance or coverable by a customary form of policy of the insurance required by Paragraph 20, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible.
b. Mechanic's liens. The Tenant agrees to promptly pay all sums of money in respect of labor, services, materials, supplies, or equipment furnished or alleged to have been furnished to the Tenant in or about the Premises, and the Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's, material man's, or other lien to arise or be filed against the Premises or the Landlord's interest therein. The Tenant shall save, hold harmless, and defend the Land lord from liability or other damage that the Land lord may incur as a result of such liens in the event the same arise or are filed in contravention of the immediately preceding sentence. If any such mechanic's lien shall at any time be filed, the Tenant shall forthwith cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, provided the Tenant first posts a bond in favor of the Landlord in a form and substance acceptable to the Landlord, which shall be conditioned on the successful contest by the Tenant of any such lien. The Tenant shall have the right to contest in good faith, any and all such liens. If the Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged within thirty (30) days after being notified of the filing thereof and before judgment or sale thereunder, then, in addition to any other right or remedy the Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same by paying the amount claimed to be due or by bonding or other proceeding deemed appropriate by the Landlord, and the amount so paid by the Landlord and/or all costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in procuring the discharge of such lien, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be deemed to be additional rent for the Premises and shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent on the part of the Landlord to subject the Landlord's estate in the Premises or any portion of the Premises to any lien or liability under the lien laws of the state of Minnesota. The Landlord shall have the right to post and maintain on the Premises notices of non-responsibility under the laws of Minnesota.
c. Keys. Any and all keys to the Premises shall be surrendered to Landlord on the termination of this Lease.
d. No partnership, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship created. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be interpreted as creating a partnership, joint venture, or relationship of principal and agent between the Landlord and the Tenant, it being understood that the sole relationship created hereby is one of landlord and tenant.
e. Cumulative rights. No right or remedy herein conferred on or reserved to the Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided by law, but each shall be cumulative in and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or elsewhere, or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or by statute.
f. Notices. All communications, demands, notices, or objections permitted or required to be given or served under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or served if delivered in person to the other party or its duly authorized agent, or deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, for mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or if telegraphed, by prepaid telegram, and addressed to the other party to this Lease, to the address set forth next to such party's signature at the end of this Lease, and if to an entity not a party to this Lease, to the address designated by a party to this Lease in the foregoing manner. Any party may change its address by giving notice in writing, stating its new address, to any other party as provided in the foregoing manner.

I am an independent language consultant. I have been involved in several ongoing projects from the Royal Government of Cambodia and some of the most prestigious international organizations in Cambodia. I have been the Khmer Lead Reviewer for an MLV based in Dublin, Ireland, for Google Localization Project since 2016. It is the highest position for a Khmer linguist involved in this Google Project. My main responsibilities are to ensure high quality translations and provide support for Khmer reviewers and translators by resolving their queries, having monthly/bi-weekly/weekly quality calls with them, and giving them feedback, among other things. I was also Uber Lead Reviewer for a short period of time before Uber left ASEAN market in mid-2018. I had very similar responsibilities for both accounts. I also provide localization, translation, transcreation, LQA, and LSO services for many other agencies sporadically.
