The 328 Building, the 330 Building, and the other improvements are hereafter referred to collectively as the “Improvements.” The Land and the Improvements (including the total of approximately 36,228 rentable square feet in the two (2) existing buildings) are hereafter referred to collectively as the “Property.”

B. Lessor and Lessee entered into a Lease dated August 5, 2010 of the 328 Building and the 330 Building (the “Original Lease”). The Lease of the 330 Building remains in full force and effect. The month to month tenancy of the 328 Building expired on February 28, 2011.

C. Lessor and Lessee wish to enter into this Lease to renew the Lease of the 328 Building upon the terms and conditions contained herein, and to continue the Lease of the 330 Building upon the terms and conditions contained in this Amended and Restated Lease.

D. Lessor and Lessee wish to amend and restate the Original Lease in its entirety, as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Amendment and Restatement. The Original Lease is hereby amended and restated in full as herein provided.

2. Lease of the 330 Gibraltar Building. Lessee is currently in possession of the 330 Building containing a total of approximately 19,996 rentable square feet, more or less. Lessee shall have the non-exclusive right pursuant to Paragraph 31 to use the number of vehicular parking spaces on the Property for the occupants of and visitors to the 330 Building in the proportion that the number of rentable square feet in the 330 Building bears to the total number of rentable square feet in the 330 Building and the 328 Building, and the non-exclusive right to use the common areas on the Property, all of which are hereafter referred to collectively as the “330 Premises,” at the rental


and upon all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. The 330 Premises are shown on the 330 Gibraltar Building Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “B-1” and incorporated by reference herein. “Lessee’s Share” of the Property attributable to the 330 Premises is 55.19% (19,996/36,228), based upon the 330 Building containing approximately 19,996 rentable square feet.

3. Initial Term of the Lease of the 330 Gibraltar Building.

(a) The initial term of the Lease of the 330 Building commenced on September 1, 2010.

(b) The initial term of the Lease of the 330 Building shall expire on November 30, 2013 (the “330 Building Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, or unless Lessee exercises one or both of the options to extend the term of the Lease of the 330 Building referred to in Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b).

(c) Lessor is holding the sum of Seventy-nine Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-four Dollars ($79,984.00) in cash as the Security Deposit for the Lease of the 330 Building.

(d) Lessee acknowledges that on the Commencement Date of the initial term of the Original Lease the 330 Premises were in the condition required by Paragraph 2(d) of the Original Lease with all building systems (e.g., mechanical, HVAC, electrical, plumbing and roof) in good operating condition and repair and in compliance with applicable building codes, and all other applicable orders, regulations, rules, laws, statutes, ordinances and requirements of all governmental agencies or authorities (collectively, “Applicable Laws”).

(e) As used herein relating to the 330 Premises, “the term of this Lease” or “term” shall include the initial term and either or both of the option extension periods, if exercised.

4. Options to Extend the Term of the 330 Gibraltar Building Lease.

(a) Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option to extend the term of the 330 Gibraltar Lease (the “initial option”) for one (1) period of twenty-four (24) calendar months immediately following the expiration of the initial term of the 330 Gibraltar Lease (the “initial option extension period”). Lessee may exercise the initial option to extend by giving written notice of exercise to Lessor not more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, nor less than one hundred eighty (180) days, prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Lease of the 330 Premises (“the initial option exercise period”), time being of the essence; provided that if an Event of Default by Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 27) under this Lease of the 330 Premises remains uncured after the expiration of notice and cure periods, if applicable, at the time of exercise of the initial option, or on the commencement date of the initial option extension period, such notice of exercise shall be void and of no force or effect.

(b) If Lessee has timely exercised the initial option, Lessee shall have the right to exercise an additional option to extend the term of the 330 Gibraltar Lease for one (1) period of thirty-six (36) calendar months (the “second option extension period”) commencing immediately following the expiration of the initial option extension period, subject to the same notice of exercise periods referred to above for the initial option, and provided that if an Event of Default by Lessee

 

-2-


(as defined in Paragraph 27) under this Lease of the 330 Premises remains uncured after the expiration of notice and cure periods, if applicable, at the time of exercise of the second option, or on the commencement date of the second option extension period, such notice of exercise shall be void and of no force or effect.

Such initial option extension period, if exercised, shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the initial term of the Lease of the 330 Premises, including the payment by Lessee of the Operating Expenses and Taxes of the 330 Premises pursuant to Paragraph 10, except that (1) the Monthly Base Rent during the initial option extension period shall be as set forth in Paragraph 4(c) hereof, (2) the Monthly Base Rent during the second option extension period shall be as set forth in Paragraph 4(d), (3) Lessee shall accept the 330 Premises in their then “as is” condition on the commencement date of each option extension period, subject to compliance of the 330 Premises with Applicable Laws pursuant to Paragraph 3(d), which shall apply to the commencement of the initial option extension period and the commencement of the second option extension period, and (4) Lessee shall have no additional option to extend. If Lessee does not exercise the initial option in a timely manner, the initial option, and Lessee’s right to exercise the second option, shall both lapse, time being of the essence. Subject to the foregoing, neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be required to perform any tenant improvement work with respect to the initial option extension period or the second option extension period, if applicable.

(c) If the initial option is timely exercised by Lessee, the Monthly Base Rent for the initial option extension period shall be as follows:

 

Period

   RSF      Rent/Mo./psf      Rent/Mo./NNN  

December 1, 2013 – November 30, 2014

     19,996       $ 1.09       $ 21,795.64   

December 1, 2014 – November 30, 2015

     19,996       $ 1.12       $ 22,395.52   

(d) The second option extension period, if timely exercised, shall also be upon the same terms and conditions of the initial term of the Lease of the 330 Premises, including the payment by Lessee of the Operating Expenses and Taxes of the 330 Premises pursuant to Paragraph 10. The initial Monthly Base Rent for the 330 Premises during the second option extension period shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph (d) and shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the then current fair market rental value of the 330 Premises on the commencement date of the second option extension period as determined by agreement between the Lessor and Lessee, if possible, reached within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the exercise period for the second option extension period, or by the process of appraisal if the parties cannot reach agreement.

Within thirty (30) days after the exercise by Lessee of the second option to extend, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of Lessor’s good faith opinion of the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market rental value of the 330 Premises as of the commencement of the second option extension period. Thereafter, upon the request of Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall enter into good faith negotiations for thirty (30) days in an effort to reach agreement on one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the 330 Premises during the second option extension period, including annual rent adjustments, if any.

 

-3-


If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the 330 Premises within such thirty (30) day period, the Monthly Base Rent for the second option extension period shall be determined by appraisal. The appraisal shall be performed by one appraiser if the parties are able to agree upon one appraiser. If the parties are unable to agree upon one appraiser, each party shall appoint an appraiser and the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser. Each appraiser selected shall be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (AIREA) with at least five (5) years of full-time commercial real estate appraisal experience in the Sunnyvale, California office/R&D/manufacturing rental market.

If only one appraiser is selected, that appraiser shall notify the parties in simple letter form of its determination of the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the 330 Premises during the second option extension period within fifteen (15) days following its selection. Said appraisal shall be binding on the parties as the appraised current fair market rent for the 330 Premises which shall be based upon what a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept at arm’s length for premises comparable to the 330 Premises in the vicinity of the 330 Premises of similar age, size, quality of construction and specifications (excluding the value of any improvements to the 330 Premises made at Lessee’s cost) for a lease of similar duration as the second option and taking into consideration that there will be no free rent, improvement allowance, or other concessions. If multiple appraisers are selected, each appraiser shall within ten (10) days of being selected make its determination of the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market rent for the 330 Premises in simple letter form. If two (2) or more of the appraisers agree on said amount, such agreement shall be binding upon the parties. If multiple appraisers are selected and two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on said amount, the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market rent for the 330 Premises shall be determined by taking the mean average of the appraisals; provided, that any high or low appraisal, differing from the middle appraisal by more than ten percent (10%) of the middle appraisal, shall be disregarded in calculating the average. Said initial Monthly Base Rent shall be adjusted annually on the anniversary of the commencement of the second option extension period in the manner determined by the appraiser or appraisers to be consistent with the then prevailing market practice, if any, for comparable space in the Sunnyvale, California office/R&D/manufacturing rental market.

If only one appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of that appraiser. If three appraisers are selected, each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser it selects and one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.

(e) Thereafter, provided that Lessee has previously given timely notice to Lessor of the exercise of the second option to extend the term, Lessor and Lessee shall execute an amendment to this Lease stating that the initial Monthly Base Rent for the 330 Premises during the second option extension period, and any annual adjustments thereto, if applicable, shall be in the amounts as determined by agreement of the parties or by appraisal if the parties did not agree upon the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent pursuant to Paragraph (d) above.

(f) The options to extend granted to Lessee by this Paragraph 4 are granted for the personal benefit of Aerohive Networks Incorporated (“Aerohive”) only, and shall be exercisable only by Aerohive or by an assignee or sublessee referred to in Paragraph 22(g) as a “Permitted Affiliate.” Neither of said options to extend may be assigned or transferred by Aerohive to, or exercised by, any assignee or sublessee, except as provided in Paragraph 22(g).

Any repairs required to the 328 Building systems after the warranty period shall be repaired by Lessor as an Operating Expense of the 328 Premises pursuant to Paragraph 10. Lessee shall have the right to perform its own inspections at Lessee’s expense with Lessor having the obligation of ensuring that the 328 Building is in good operating condition and repair and in compliance with Applicable Laws on the 328 Premises Commencement Date.

(d) As used herein relating to the 328 Premises, “the term of this Lease” or “term” shall include the initial term and either or both of the option extension periods, if exercised.

8. Options to Extend the Term of the 328 Gibraltar Building Lease.

Lessee may exercise the initial option to extend by giving written notice of exercise to Lessor not more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, nor less than one hundred eighty (180) days, prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Lease of the 328 Premises (“the initial option exercise period”), time being of the essence; provided that if an Event of Default by Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 27) under this Lease of the 328 Premises remains uncured after the expiration of notice and cure periods, if applicable, at the time of exercise of the initial option, or on the commencement date of the initial option extension period, such notice of exercise shall be void and of no force or effect.

(b) If Lessee has timely exercised the initial option, Lessee shall have the right to exercise an additional option to extend the term of the 328 Gibraltar Lease for one (1) additional period of thirty-six (36) calendar months (the “second option extension period”) commencing immediately following the expiration of the initial option extension period, subject to the same notice of exercise periods referred to above for the initial option, and provided that if an Event of Default by Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 27) under this Lease of the 328 Premises remains uncured after the expiration of notice and cure periods, if applicable, at the time of exercise of the second option, or on the commencement date of the second option extension period, such notice of exercise shall be void and of no force or effect.

Such initial option extension period, if exercised, shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the initial term of the Lease of the 328 Premises, including the payment by Lessee of the Operating Expenses and Taxes of the 328 Premises pursuant to Paragraph 10, except that (1) the Monthly Base Rent during the initial option extension period shall be as set forth in Paragraph 8(c) hereof, (2) the Monthly Base Rent during the second option extension period shall be as set forth in Paragraph 8(d), (3) Lessee shall accept the 328 Premises in their then “as is” condition on the commencement date of each option extension period, subject to compliance of the 328 Premises with Applicable Laws pursuant to Paragraph 7(c), which shall apply to the commencement of the

If Lessee does not exercise the initial option in a timely manner, the initial option, and Lessee’s right to exercise the second option, shall both lapse, time being of the essence. Subject to the foregoing, neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be required to perform any tenant improvement work with respect to the initial option extension period or the second option extension period, if applicable.

(c) If the initial option is timely exercised by Lessee, the Monthly Base Rent for the initial option extension period shall be as follows:

December 1, 2014 – November 30, 2015

     16,232       $ 1.12       $ 18,179.84   

(d) The second option extension period, if timely exercised, shall also be upon the same terms and conditions of the initial term of the Lease of the 328 Premises, including the payment by Lessee of the 328 Premises Operating Expenses and Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 10. The initial Monthly Base Rent for the 328 Premises during the second option extension period shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph (d) and shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the then current fair market rental value of the 328 Premises on the commencement date of the second option extension period as determined by agreement between the Lessor and Lessee, if possible, reached within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the exercise period for the second option extension period, or by the process of appraisal if the parties cannot reach agreement.

Within thirty (30) days after the exercise by Lessee of the second option to extend, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of Lessor’s good faith opinion of the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market rental value of the 328 Premises as of the commencement of the second option extension period. Thereafter, upon the request of Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall enter into good faith negotiations for thirty (30) days in an effort to reach agreement on one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the 328 Premises during the second option extension period, including annual rent adjustments, if any.

If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent for the 328 Premises within such thirty (30) day period, the Monthly Base Rent for the second option extension period shall be determined by appraisal. The appraisal shall be performed by one appraiser if the parties are able to agree upon one appraiser. If the parties are unable to agree upon one appraiser, each party shall appoint an appraiser and the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser. Each appraiser selected shall be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (AIREA) with at least five (5) years of full-time commercial real estate appraisal experience in the Sunnyvale, California office/R&D/manufacturing rental market.

-7-


(15) days following its selection. Said appraisal shall be binding on the parties as the appraised current fair market rent for the 328 Premises which shall be based upon what a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept at arm’s length for premises comparable to the 328 Premises in the vicinity of the 328 Premises of similar age, size, quality of construction and specifications (excluding the value of any improvements to the 328 Premises made at Lessee’s cost) for a lease of similar duration as the second option and taking into consideration that there will be no free rent, improvement allowance, or other concessions. If multiple appraisers are selected, each appraiser shall within ten (10) days of being selected make its determination of the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market rent for the 328 Premises in simple letter form. If two (2) or more of the appraisers agree on said amount, such agreement shall be binding upon the parties. If multiple appraisers are selected and two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on said amount, the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market rent for the 328 Premises shall be determined by taking the mean average of the appraisals; provided, that any high or low appraisal, differing from the middle appraisal by more than ten percent (10%) of the middle appraisal, shall be disregarded in calculating the average. Said initial Monthly Base Rent shall be adjusted annually on the anniversary of the commencement of the second option extension period in the manner determined by the appraiser or appraisers to be consistent with the then prevailing market practice, if any, for comparable space in the Sunnyvale, California office/R&D/manufacturing rental market.

If only one appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of that appraiser. If three appraisers are selected, each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser it selects and one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.

(e) Thereafter, provided that Lessee has previously given timely notice to Lessor of the exercise of the second option to extend the term, Lessor and Lessee shall execute an amendment to this Lease stating that the initial Monthly Base Rent for the 328 Premises during the second option extension period, and any annual adjustments thereto, if applicable, shall be in the amounts as determined by agreement of the parties or by appraisal if the parties did not agree upon the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market Monthly Base Rent pursuant to Paragraph (d) above.

(f) The options to extend granted to Lessee by this Paragraph 8 are granted for the personal benefit of Aerohive Networks Incorporated (“Aerohive”) only, and shall be exercisable only by Aerohive or by an assignee or sublessee referred to in Paragraph 22(g) as a “Permitted Affiliate.” Neither of said options to extend may be assigned or transferred by Aerohive to, or exercised by, any assignee or sublessee, except as provided in Paragraph 22(g).

Said invoices shall be due and payable by Lessee to Lessor as Additional Rent on the first day of the calendar month after receipt together with the Monthly Base Rent then due.

11. Payment of Rent.

The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Lessor will incur by reason of the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to the overdue amount. Any amount not paid within ten (10) days after Lessee’s receipt of written notice that such amount is past-due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser rate of (1) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (2) the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Interest Rate”) in addition to the late payment charge.

(a) Pursuant to Paragraph 8 of the Original Lease which Paragraph is hereby incorporated by reference in this Lease, Lessee paid to Lessor the sum of Seventy-nine Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-four Dollars ($79,984.00) as the Security Deposit with respect to the 330 Premises which Lessor holds as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s obligations with respect to the Lease of the 330 Premises.

(b) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of Seventeen Thousand Two Hundred Five and Ninety-two Hundredths Dollars ($17,205.92) in cash (the “328 Premises Security Deposit”), as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease of the 328 Premises, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent when due, the repair of any damage to the 328 Premises caused by Lessee, and the surrender of the 328 Premises to Lessor on the expiration or sooner termination of the term of the Lease of the 328 Premises, in a clean condition, and otherwise in the condition required by Paragraph 19(f). If Lessee fails to pay Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges due hereunder within applicable notice and cure periods, or if Lessee fails to surrender possession of the 328 Premises on the expiration date or earlier termination date of the term of the Lease of the 328 Premises in the condition required by Paragraph 19(f), or if there is an Event of Default by Lessee under the Lease of the 328 Premises (as defined in Paragraph 27), Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the 328 Premises Security Deposit to the extent reasonably necessary to cure the breach, for the payment of any amount due Lessor, and to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost, expense, loss or damage (including attorneys’ fees) which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of the 328 Premises Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefor deposit with Lessor a sufficient amount to restore the Security Deposit.

Provided that no Event of Default by Lessee under the Lease of the 330 Premises then remains uncured on March 31, 2012, (the end of the nineteenth (19th) month of the initial term of the Lease of the 330 Premises), Lessor shall refund the sum of Thirty-nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-two Dollars ($39,992.00) to Lessee, reducing the Security Deposit for the 330 Premises to Thirty-nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-two Dollars ($39,992.00).

(c) Lessor shall, within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, and provided Lessee has vacated the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises and surrendered the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises to Lessor in the condition required by Paragraph 19(f), return to Lessee (or, at Lessor’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee’s interest herein), that portion of the balance of the Security Deposits for the 330 Premises and for the 328 Premises not used or applied by Lessor in accordance with Paragraph 8 of the Original Lease with respect to the 330 Premises or in accordance with this Paragraph 12 with respect to the 328 Premises. No part of the Security Deposit for the 330 Premises or the 328 Premises shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any sum payable by Lessee under this Lease or under the Original Lease. Lessee waives California Civil Code Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the lease of commercial property (“Security Deposit Laws”) to the extent they attempt to limit or restrict the uses for which Lessor may apply said Security Deposits or the period to which Lessor may apply the 328 Premises Security Deposit, or the 330 Premises Security Deposit, to rent due prior to the termination of Lessee’s right to possession of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, notwithstanding the surrender of possession by Lessee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Security Deposit Laws, said Security Deposits may be retained and applied by Lessor (1) to offset rent which is unpaid either before or after termination of this Lease, and (2) against other damages suffered by Lessor as a result of any Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 27) by Lessee before or after termination of this Lease.

Use. Lessee may use and occupy the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises for general offices, research and development, light assembly, testing, and storage of Lessee’s products, and related legal uses, and for no other use or purpose without Lessor’s prior written consent.

In addition, Lessor may condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, the Property, and/or the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or liability, including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease expiration or termination) of any protective modifications installed by Lessee (such as concrete encasements).

The foregoing indemnity obligations of Lessee shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, or both the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises and the Property.

All such insurance carried by Lessee shall be carried with companies that have a general policyholder’s rating of not less than “A” and a financial rating of not less than Class “X” in the most current edition of Best’s Insurance Reports; shall provide that such policies shall not be subject to cancellation except after at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor; and shall be primary and not contributory. Upon renewal of such policies prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates of insurance confirming such coverage, together with evidence of the payment of the premiums therefor. If Lessee fails to procure and maintain the insurance required hereunder within five (5) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lessor, Lessor may, but shall not be required to, order such insurance at Lessee’s expense and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon demand for all costs incurred by Lessor with respect thereto. Lessee’s reimbursement to Lessor for such amounts shall be deemed Additional Rent, and shall include all sums disbursed, incurred or deposited by Lessor, including Lessor’s costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.

Lessee shall not be required to carry earthquake or flood insurance on Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, or other property of Lessee in the 328 Building or the 330 Building or any alterations or improvements required to be insured against by Lessee under this Lease.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 10(a), 10(b), and 10(d), Lessor shall obtain and carry in Lessor’s name, as insured, during the term of this Lease, “all risk” property insurance coverage in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the 328 Building, the 330 Building, and any other Improvements on the Property (with rental loss insurance coverage for a period of one year) (“Lessor’s property insurance”), commercial general liability insurance, and insurance against such other risks or casualties as Lessor shall reasonably determine, including, but not limited to, insurance coverages required of Lessor by the beneficiary of any deed of trust which encumbers the Property (including earthquake, flood, and terrorism insurance coverage, but only if

required by Lessor’s lender), insuring Lessor’s interest in the Property, any other Improvements to the Property constructed by Lessor, or by Lessee with Lessor’s prior written approval, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the 328 Building, the 330 Building, and all other Improvements on the Property from time to time. The proceeds of any such insurance shall be payable solely to Lessor and Lessee shall have no right or interest therein. Lessor shall have no obligation to insure against loss by Lessee to Lessee’s equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory, or other personal property of Lessee in, on, or about the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises occurring from any cause whatsoever. Lessor’s commercial general liability insurance shall provide for contractual liability coverage of Lessor’s indemnity referred to in Paragraph 17(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the parties release each other, and their respective authorized representatives, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, assignees, subtenants, and property managers, from any claims for damage to the Property and to the fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements and alterations of either Lessor or Lessee in or on the Property that are caused by or result from risks required by this Lease to be insured against or actually insured against under any property insurance policies carried by the parties and in force at the time of any such damage, whichever is greater. This waiver applies whether or not the loss is due to the negligent acts or omissions of Lessor or Lessee or their respective authorized representatives, shareholders, managers, members, assignees, subtenants, successors, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, or invitees. All of Lessor’s and Lessee’s repair and indemnity obligations under this Lease shall be subject to the waiver contained in this Paragraph 12(c).

(d) Each party shall cause each property insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with the above waiver and any damage covered by any policy; provided, however, that such provision or endorsement shall not be required if the applicable policy of insurance permits the named insured to waive rights of subrogation on a blanket basis, in which case the blanket waiver shall be acceptable. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any property loss or damage caused by fire, or any of the risks insured against (or required to be insured against) under any property insurance policy carried pursuant to this Lease.

17. Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Paragraphs 16(c) and 16(d), Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor harmless from all claims, suits, actions, or liabilities for personal injury, death or for loss or damage to property (1) that arise from any activity, work, or thing done or permitted by Lessee in or about the Property, (2) for bodily injury or damage to property which arises in or about the Property to the extent the injury or damage to property results from the negligent acts or omissions of Lessee, its employees, agents, or contractors, or (3) that are based on any Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 23) by Lessee in the performance of any obligation on Lessee’s part to be performed under this Lease, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its employees, agents, or contractors, or caused by a breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Lease. Lessee also waives all claims against Lessor for damages to property, or to goods, wares, and merchandise stored in, upon, or about the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, or the Property, and for injuries to persons in, upon, or about the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, or the Property from any cause arising at any time, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its employees, agents or contractors, or by the breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Lease.

 

-19-


(b) Subject to Paragraphs 12(c) and 12(d), Lessor shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lessee harmless from all claims for personal injury, death or for loss or damage to property (1) that arise from bodily injury or damage to property in or about the Property to the extent the injury or damage to property results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its employees, agents or contractors, or (2) that are based on any breach or default by Lessor in the performance of any obligation on Lessor’s part to be performed under this Lease, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or its employees, agents or contractors or a breach by Lessee of its obligations under this Lease.

(c) The foregoing indemnities by Lessee and Lessor shall also include reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any indemnified claim or incurred by the indemnitee in successfully establishing the right to indemnity. The indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense of any claim subject to the foregoing indemnities with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnitee. The indemnitee agrees to cooperate fully with the indemnitor and its counsel in any matter where the indemnitor elects to defend, provided the indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the indemnitee for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duty to cooperate.

Performance of the foregoing indemnities are conditioned upon the indemnitee providing reasonably prompt notice to the indemnitor of any claim or occurrence that is likely to give rise to a claim, suit, action or liability that will fall within the scope of the foregoing indemnities, along with sufficient details that will enable the indemnitor to make a reasonable investigation of the claim.

When the claim is caused by the joint negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee and Lessor or by the indemnitor party and a third party unrelated to the indemnitor party (except indemnitor’s agents, officers, employees or invitees), the indemnitor’s duty to indemnify and defend shall be proportionate to the indemnitor’s allocable share of joint negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither party shall be liable to the other, or to any of the employees, agents, contractors, or invitees of the other for any damage because of any act or negligence of any owner or occupant of adjoining or contiguous property, nor shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for overflow, breakage, or leakage of water, steam, gas, or electricity from pipes, wires, or otherwise in the 328 Building or the 330 Building.

18. Tenant Improvement Work – 328 Gibraltar Building.

(a) Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessor has completed in a satisfactory manner all of the Lessor’s Tenant Improvement Work in the 330 Gibraltar Building required by Paragraph 14 of the Original Lease and shown on Lessor’s Tenant Improvement Work in the 330 Gibraltar Building Exhibit “B-2”, of the Original Lease.

(b) Subject to Paragraph 18(c), Lessor shall cause the tenant improvements shown on the 328 Gibraltar Building Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “D-1,” and described on Exhibit “D-2” attached hereto, and incorporated by reference herein (“328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work”) to be constructed and installed in the 328 Building. Lessor shall use Lessor’s good faith diligent efforts to cause the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work to be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of all of the following: (1) the execution and delivery of this Lease by the parties; (2) Lessor and Lessee have approved in writing Exhibits “D-1” and “D-2,” and any amendment to Exhibit “B-2” with respect to tenant improvements to the 330 Building, if applicable, and said Exhibits, and amendment, if applicable, have been attached to this Lease; and (3) Lessor and Lessee have approved in writing the guaranteed maximum cost (“Guaranteed Maximum Cost”) of the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work specified in the construction contract signed by Lessor and the general contractor who shall perform the work. The 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work shall be constructed and installed in accordance with the 328 Gibraltar Building Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “D-1” and the description of the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work on Exhibit “D-2” attached hereto, (and any amendment to Exhibit “B-2”, if applicable). Upon completion of the plans and specifications for the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work (and for the 330 Gibraltar Building, if applicable), and prior to commencing construction of the work, Lessor and Lessee shall approve in writing the amount of the Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the work included in the construction contract between Lessor and the general contractor who shall perform the work Lessee shall approve or disapprove of such Guaranteed Maximum Cost within five (5) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lessor of said amount. If Lessee disapproves of the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, Lessor and Lessee shall mutually cooperate in good faith to revise and reach agreement in writing on the scope of the work and on revisions to Exhibits “D-1” and “D-2,” and “B-2”, as applicable, necessary to reach agreement on the Guaranteed Maximum Cost. Any additional tenant improvement work requested by Lessee that is approved in writing by Lessor, the cost of which exceeds Lessor’s Tenant Improvement Allowance (unless the excess cost is incurred to comply with Applicable Laws including ADA), shall be constructed by Lessor’s general contractor at Lessee’s expense and shall be added by a change order signed by Lessor and Lessee to the Guaranteed Maximum Cost previously approved by Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall perform the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work and the 330 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work, in a manner that will minimize interference with Lessee’s use of the 328 Premises, provided that Lessor shall not be required to incur the cost of overtime labor or premium time in order to minimize such interference.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 18(b), (1) subject to the provisions of Paragraph 18(h) below, Lessor shall not be obligated to pay more than Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) (“Lessor’s Tenant Improvement Allowance”) of the cost of the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work regardless of the total cost of such work; (2) Lessee shall pay the balance of the cost of such work that exceeds Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00), if any, but not to exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work specified in the construction contract with the general contractor which was approved in writing by Lessor and Lessee. Subject to the foregoing, Lessor and Lessee shall approve the 328 Gibraltar Building Plan and the description of the work on Exhibit “D-1 and “D-2” respectively, (and the amendment to Exhibit “B-2”, if applicable) that are to be attached hereto. Lessor agrees that upon Lessee’s request, and subject to Lessor’s approval of the work, Lessor’s TI Allowance can be used for TIs in either the 328 and/or the 330 Building.

(d) The 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work shall be performed by a general contractor selected by Lessor pursuant to a Guaranteed Maximum Cost construction contract between Lessor and the contractor describing such Tenant Improvement Work to be constructed and installed in the 328 Premises, the cost thereof, and the scheduled completion date, and shall include a standard one (1) year warranty by the contractor against defects in workmanship or materials.

(e) Lessor shall cause the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work to be performed in accordance with all Applicable Laws, in a good and workmanlike manner, free of defects in workmanship or materials, and using new materials and equipment of good quality. Lessor shall cause Lessor’s contractor to correct at the contractor’s expense any defects in workmanship or materials in any of said Tenant Improvement Work noted by either Lessee or Lessor within one (1) year after substantial completion of said Tenant Improvement Work, provided that Lessee gives written notice to Lessor specifying any such defects within eleven (11) months after the substantial completion of such work. Any needed repairs in the 328 Premises to the Tenant Improvement Work noted by Lessee or Lessor thereafter shall be performed by Lessor and included in the Operating Expenses of the 328 Premises if properly included therein pursuant to Paragraph 10, if the nature of such repairs is that they fall under Lessor’s maintenance and repair obligations, otherwise such repairs shall be made by Lessor at Lessee’s expense. In addition, Lessor and Lessee shall conduct a “punch list” inspection of the Lessor’s Tenant Improvement Work in the 328 Premises within fifteen (15) days following the substantial completion of such work. Lessor shall require the general contractor to repair promptly any such “punch list” items at the general contractor’s sole cost and expense.

(f) Lessor shall cause the 328 Building to be in the condition required by Paragraph 7(c), including the compliance of the 328 Building with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), prior to the date the 328 Premises are substantially occupied by Lessee’s employees pursuant to this Lease.

(g) Subject to the performance by Lessor of Lessor’s obligations under this Paragraph 18 and Paragraph 19(a), Lessee waives all rights to make repairs the expense of Lessor, or to deduct the costs thereof from the rent, and Lessee waives all rights under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of the State of California.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessor’s Tenant Improvement Allowance shall not be used for, and Lessor shall perform and pay for (and Lessee shall have no responsibility for) the following: (a) costs for improvements which are not shown on or described on Exhibit “D-1” the final 328 Gibraltar Building Plan approved in writing by Lessee and Lessor, unless such costs are subsequently approved by Lessee and Lessor in writing; (b) costs incurred due to the presence of Hazardous Materials in the 328 Premises or the surrounding area; (c) attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with negotiation of construction contracts, and attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and other costs in connection with disputes with third parties; (d) interest and other costs of financing construction costs; (e) costs incurred as a consequence of delay (unless the delay is caused by Lessee), construction defects or default by a contractor; (f) costs recoverable by Lessor upon account of warranties and insurance; (g) restoration costs in excess of insurance proceeds as a consequence of casualties; (h) penalties and late charges attributable to Lessor’s failure to pay construction costs; (i) costs to bring the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises into compliance with

Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act,), and environmental laws, but only to the extent such compliance is triggered by typical office improvements constructed as part of the Tenant Improvements; (j) wages, labor and overhead for overtime and premium time; (k) offsite management or other general overhead costs incurred by Lessor; (l) construction management, profit and overhead charges of Lessor in excess of 3% of the total cost of the 328 Gibraltar Building Tenant Improvement Work; and (n) construction costs in excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Cost approved in writing by Lessor and Lessee, except for any increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, set forth in written change orders approved in writing by Lessee and Lessor which Lessee agrees in writing to pay.

19. Maintenance and Repairs; Alterations; Surrender and Restoration.

(a) Lessor shall, at Lessor’s sole expense, keep in good order, condition, and repair and replace when necessary, the structural elements of the roof (excluding the roof membrane), the foundation and exterior walls (except the interior faces thereof) of the 328 Building and the 330 Building, excluding any alterations, structural or otherwise, made by Lessee to the 328 Building or the 330 Building which are not approved in writing by Lessor prior to the construction or installation thereof by Lessee or by any assignee or sublessee. Subject to the applicable conditions of Paragraphs 25 and 26 hereof, Lessor shall perform and construct, and Lessee shall not be responsible for performing or constructing, any repairs, maintenance, or improvements (1) required as a result of any casualty damage or as a result of any taking pursuant to the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or (2) for which Lessor receives reimbursement from third parties based on construction or other warranties, contractor guarantees, or insurance claims. Lessor shall use its good faith diligent efforts to collect any such sums.

(b) In addition to the items referred to in Paragraph 10(b), Lessor shall, repair, maintain, and replace as needed, as an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 10 hereof, the roof membrane, exterior glass and glazing, the electrical, plumbing and life safety systems of the 328 Building, the 330 Building, and the exterior areas of the Property outside the 328 Building and the 330 Building, and the parking facilities serving the 328 Building and the 330 Building, including, without limitation, the landscaping, tree trimming, resurfacing and restriping of the parking lot and walkways, exterior building lighting, and parking lot lighting. Subject to Paragraphs 10(b) and 10(d), Lessor shall perform or cause to be performed, any repair, maintenance, or improvements which are properly treated as capital improvements or capital expenditures, and shall amortize the cost thereof over their useful life, together with interest thereon (as provided in Paragraphs 10(b) and 10(d)), as an Operating Expense (to the extent properly includable as an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraphs 10(b), 10(d) and this paragraph 19(b)), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the event Lessee provides Lessor with written notice of the need for any repairs to the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, the parking facilities, or the landscaping on the Property, Lessor shall commence any such repairs promptly following receipt by Lessor of such notice and Lessor shall diligently prosecute such repairs to completion.

(c) Subject to the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, during the term of the Lease of the 328 Premises, and during the term of the Lease of the 330 Premises, Lessee shall keep the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises and the interior common areas of the 328 Building and the 330 Building in the condition received, normal wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall contract for and pay directly for the janitorial service to the 328 Building and the 330 Building,

 

-23-


including interior common areas. Lessee shall execute and maintain in full force and effect at Lessee’s expense throughout the term of the Lease of the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises a service contract with an authorized air conditioning service company for quarterly service, repairs, and replacement of parts, to service the HVAC system serving the 328 Building and the 330 Building. Lessee shall deliver a copy of each such service contract to Lessor upon written request by Lessor, together with copies of all quarterly inspection reports, work orders, and paid invoices for service, repairs, and replacement of parts performed by Lessee’s HVAC service firm. Lessor shall have the right to obtain on a semi-annual basis an inspection report of the HVAC system in the 328 Building and the 330 Building from an HVAC service firm designated by Lessor for the purpose of monitoring the performance of the HVAC maintenance and repair work performed by Lessee’s HVAC service firm. The cost of such inspection reports shall be included as an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 10(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee contracts with an authorized HVAC service firm that W.F. Batton Management Company (“Batton”) regularly contracts with for HVAC repair and maintenance services for other buildings that Batton manages, and Lessor receives copies of the quarterly inspection reports submitted by such service firm, Lessor will waive the right to obtain the separate semi-annual inspection report referred to above. If Lessor is required to make any repairs by reason of Lessee’s negligent acts or omission to act, Lessor shall notify Lessee prior to performing such repairs and Lessor may add the cost of such repairs to the next installment of rent which shall thereafter become due, and Lessee shall promptly pay the same upon receipt of an invoice therefor.

(d) Subject to Lessee’s obligation to keep the Property free of liens pursuant to Paragraph 21, Lessee may from time to time at its own expense and without the consent of Lessor make nonstructural alterations to the 328 Building or the 330 Building, the cost of which in any one instance is Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) or less, provided that Lessee first notifies Lessor in writing of any such nonstructural alterations, Lessee provides Lessor with plans detailing the scope of the work, and Lessee shall obtain at Lessee’s expense all necessary permits for such work. Lessee shall not make any nonstructural alterations, improvements, or additions to the 328 Premises or the 328 Building, or the 330 Premises or the 330 Building, (collectively, “alterations”) (1) the cost of which in any one instance exceeds Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) (2) without obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and without delivering to Lessor a complete set of final plans and specifications for such work, and any amendments thereto. If the cost of any nonstructural alterations to the interior of the 328 Building or the 330 Building exceeds Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in cost in any one instance during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall employ at Lessee’s expense a qualified licensed general contractor to perform such alterations pursuant to a construction contract entered into between Lessee and such contractor. The contractor and the construction contract shall be subject to Lessor’s written approval prior to commencement of construction, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor may condition Lessor’s consent to such alterations to Lessee agreeing in writing to remove any such alterations prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises and to restore the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises to its condition prior to such alterations at Lessee’s expense. Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing at the time Lessor’s consent is granted whether or not Lessee will be required to remove the alterations from the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises and to restore the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises to its prior condition prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No such removal and restoration by Lessee shall be required unless Lessor so notifies Lessee at the time Lessor’s written consent to the alterations is granted.

 

-24-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor’s prior written consent, install its cabling and equipment in the 328 Premises, including hanging equipment from walls and ceilings and installing cabling and equipment above and below the ceiling grid.

All alterations, trade fixtures and personal property installed in the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises solely at Lessee’s expense shall during the term of this Lease remain the property of Lessee, and Lessee shall be entitled to all depreciation, amortization and other tax benefits with respect thereto. Lessee may remove any of Lessee’s personal property, furniture, or equipment not permanently affixed to the 328 Building or the 330 Building (“Lessee’s Personal Property”) at any time and from time to time, provided that Lessee shall repair any damage to the 328 Building or the 330 Building caused by such removal. Lessor shall have no lien or other interest whatsoever in any item of Lessee’s Personal Property. Within ten (10) days following Lessee’s request from time to time, Lessor shall execute and deliver documents in commercially reasonable form to evidence Lessor’s waiver of any right, title, lien or interest in any of Lessee’s Personal Property and giving any lenders or other persons holding a security interest or lien on such property reasonable rights of access to the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises to remove Lessee’s Personal Property, provided that such lenders or other persons agree in writing to repair all damage caused by such removal. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease of the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises, all alterations, fixtures and improvements to the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, whether made by Lessor or installed by Lessee at Lessee’s expense, shall be surrendered by Lessee with the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises and shall become the property of Lessor (except for those items Lessor requires Lessee to remove pursuant to the first paragraph of this Paragraph 19(d)); provided, however that Lessee may remove any or all of Lessee’s Personal Property prior to or promptly following the expiration of the term of the 328 Lease or the 330 Lease, but Lessee shall promptly repair at Lessee’s expense any damage to the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises or the 328 Building or the 330 Building caused by such removal.

(e) Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, shall during the term of this Lease promptly and promptly observe and comply with all existing and future Applicable Laws, and all rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters. Any changes or repairs, structural or otherwise, of any nature to the 328 Premises or the 328 Building, or to the 330 Premises or the 330 Building, including those which would be considered a capital expenditure under generally accepted accounting principles, including changes or repairs required by the ADA, any state laws governing handicapped access or architectural barriers, and all rules, regulations and guidelines promulgated under such laws after the Commencement Date of the Lease of the 328 Premises pursuant to this Lease, or after the Commencement Date of the Original Lease of the 330 Building, as such laws, rules, or regulations may be amended from time to time, shall be made by Lessor unless such repairs or changes are required by reason of the specific nature of the use of the 328 Premises or the 328 Building; or the 330 Premises or the 330 Building, by Lessee, in which case Lessee shall bear the cost of such repairs or changes. If such changes or repairs are required after the Commencement Date of the Lease of the 328 Premises pursuant to this Lease or after the Commencement Date of the Original Lease of the 330 Building and are not required by reason of the specific nature of Lessee’s use of the 328 Premises or the 328 Building, or the 330 Premises or the 330 Building, the cost of such changes or repairs, except as provided in Paragraph 19(a), shall be treated as an Operating Expense and shall be amortized in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 10(b).

 

-25-


(f) Lessee shall surrender the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises by the last day of the term of the Lease of 328 Premises and the last day of the term of the 330 Premises, respectively, or any earlier termination date, with all of the improvements to such Premises and the 328 Building and the 330 Building, parts, and surfaces thereof clean and free of debris and in the operating order, condition, and state of repair as when received, except for ordinary wear and tear and Lessor’s repair and maintenance obligations, and except for damage caused by casualty, the elements, acts of God, or other force majeure events, a taking by eminent domain, maintenance that is Lessor’s responsibility hereunder, Hazardous Materials not released or emitted by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors or sublessees, and alterations or other improvements made by Lessee with Lessor’s prior written consent which Lessee is not required to remove as a condition to Lessor’s approval of such alterations or improvements. “Ordinary wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by commercially reasonable maintenance practices or by Lessee performing all of its obligations under this Lease. The obligations of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance, or removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and alterations, and the restoration by Lessee of the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, and the 328 Building and the 330 Building to their condition prior to any alterations, additions, or improvements made by Lessee, subject to the exceptions set forth in the first sentence of this subparagraph (f) (1) if Lessor’s consent thereto was conditioned upon such removal and restoration upon expiration or sooner termination of the Lease term pursuant to Paragraph 19(d), or (2) if Lessee made any such alterations, additions, or improvements without obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent in breach of Paragraph 19(d), and within a reasonable time after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease term Lessor gives written notice to Lessee requiring Lessee to perform such removal and restoration. Lessee’s obligations under this Paragraph 19 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to the 328 Premises and the 328 Building and the 330 Premises and the 330 Building, as applicable.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the surrender of the 328 Premises and/or the 330 Premises Lessee shall not be obligated to remove any of the tenant improvements constructed in the 328 Premises by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 18 of this Lease, or constructed in the 330 Premises by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 14 of the Original Lease, or to restore the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises to the condition prior to the construction of such tenant improvements, except that Lessee shall, at Lessee’s expense, remove all above grid electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling and related equipment, including any “open air” cabling (collectively, the “Cabling”), that has been installed in the 328 Building or the 330 Building by Lessee. Lessee shall have the right to use the existing Cabling in the 328 Building and/or the 330 Building, as of the date of the Original Lease, unless removal of the existing Cabling is required at any time by the Sunnyvale Fire Department, by the ordinances or regulations of the City of Sunnyvale, or by the National Electric Code, or other Applicable Laws, in which event Lessor shall remove such existing Cabling at Lessor’s expense. Any removal of Cabling installed by Lessee required by this subparagraph (g) shall be completed by Lessee at Lessee’s expense within five (5) business days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease of the 328 Premises or the Lease of the 330 Premises, regardless of whether or not such removal has previously been required by the foregoing Applicable Laws;

 

-26-


provided, however, that, except for the “open air Cabling,” Lessee shall not remove the Cabling in either the 328 Building or the 330 Building if Lessee receives a written notice from Lessor at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease of the 328 Building or the 330 Building, respectively, requiring the Cabling to remain in place, in which event the Cabling (except the “open air Cabling”) shall be surrendered by Lessee with the 328 Building or the 330 Building, and the Property, and shall become the property of Lessor upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease of the 328 Building or the Lease of the 330 Building, as applicable.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease of the 328 Premises and/or the Lease of the 330 Premises Lessee shall, at Lessee’s expense, obtain a closure report from the appropriate department of the City of Sunnyvale with respect to any Hazardous Materials used, stored, or released by Lessee on or about the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, or the Property. Any removal and remediation of Hazardous Materials by Lessee shall be certified by the appropriate department of the City of Sunnyvale and a copy of such certification shall be delivered to Lessor.

20. Utilities and Services.

(a) Lessee shall contract for and pay directly the cost of all electricity, telephone, gas, water, heat and air conditioning service, janitorial service, refuse pick-up, sewer charges, and all other utilities or services supplied to or consumed by Lessee, its agents, employees, contractors, and invitees, on or about the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises and the common areas of the Property.

(b) Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any interruption or failure of any utility services to the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, or the 328 Building or the 330 Building which is not caused by the negligence or willful acts of Lessor, or Lessor’s employees, agents, or contractors. Lessee shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of any such interruption or failure. If either the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises should become not reasonably suitable for Lessee’s use as a consequence of cessation of utilities or other services, interference with access to either the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, or the 328 Building or the 330 Building, legal restrictions or the presence of any Hazardous Material which does not result from Lessee’s release or emission of such Hazardous Material, and in any of the foregoing cases the interference with Lessee’s use of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises persists for ten (10) consecutive days or more, then Lessee shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of rent thereafter to the extent of the interference with Lessee’s use of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises occasioned thereby and until the interference ceases. If the interference persists for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, Lessee shall have the right to terminate the Lease of the Premises affected (328 Premises or 330 Premises) by giving written notice of termination to Lessor, provided that such notice of termination is delivered to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said period of ninety (90) days, and before such utility service is restored.

21. Liens. Lessee agrees to keep the Property free from all liens arising out of any improvement work performed by Lessee or arising out of any other work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Lessee. Lessee shall give Lessor at least ten (10) days prior written notice before commencing any work of improvement on the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, regardless of the cost of the work. Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility with respect to any such work. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Property against the same, and Lessee shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon or provide a lien release bond in accordance with applicable law before the enforcement thereof against Lessor or the Property.

22. Assignment and Subletting.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 22, Lessee shall not assign this Lease, or any interest therein, voluntarily or involuntarily, and Lessee shall not sublet the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, without the prior written consent of Lessor in each instance pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, subject to the following provisions.

(b) Prior to any assignment or sublease which Lessee desires to make, Lessee shall provide to Lessor the name and address of the proposed assignee or sublessee, true and complete copies of all documents relating to Lessee’s prospective agreement to assign or sublease, a copy of a current financial statement for such proposed assignee or sublessee, and Lessee shall specify in writing all consideration to be received by Lessee for such assignment or sublease in the form of lump sum payments, installments of rent, or otherwise. For purposes of this Paragraph 22, the term “consideration” shall include all money or other consideration to be received by Lessee for such assignment or sublease. Subject to the following paragraph, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by Lessor of such documentation and other information, Lessor shall (1) notify Lessee in writing that Lessor elects to consent to the proposed assignment or sublease subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; or (2) notify Lessee in writing that Lessor refuses such consent, specifying reasonable grounds for such refusal.

If Lessee shall propose to sublease substantially the entire 328 Premises or the entire 330 Premises for substantially the entire remaining initial term thereof, or for the balance of the then applicable option extension period with respect to the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, except to one or more “Permitted Affiliates” (as defined in Paragraph 22(g)), Lessee shall so notify Lessor in writing, specifying the proposed commencement date of the proposed sublease and the other information referred to above in this Paragraph 22(b). Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice and information from Lessee, Lessor may notify Lessee in writing that Lessor elects to terminate the Lease of the 328 Premises, or the Lease of the 330 Premises (or both if the proposed sublease applies to both the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises), effective as of the proposed sublease commencement date specified in Lessee’s notice. If Lessor elects to terminate the Lease of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises (or both if the proposed sublease applies to both) pursuant to the foregoing provision, upon the effective date of termination, Lessor and Lessee shall each be released and discharged from any liability or obligation to the other under the Lease of the 328 Premises and/or the 330 Premises accruing thereafter, except for any obligations then outstanding and except for any indemnity obligations or other obligations which survive the expiration or termination of this Lease of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises (or both, if applicable) by the express terms hereof, and Lessee agrees that Lessor may enter into a direct lease with a proposed sublessee, if any, without any obligation or liability to Lessee.

 

-28-


(c) In deciding whether to consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Lessor may take into consideration whether or not reasonable conditions have been satisfied, including, but not limited to, the following:

(1) In Lessor’s reasonable judgment, the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in such a business, that the 328 Premises and/or the 330 Premises, or the relevant part thereof, will be used in such a manner which complies with Paragraph 13 hereof entitled “Use” and Lessee or the proposed assignee or sublessee submits to Lessor documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such proposed use constitutes a permitted use of the affected Premises pursuant to the ordinances and regulations of the City of Sunnyvale;

(2) The proposed assignee or sublessee is a reputable person or entity with sufficient financial net worth to reasonably indicate that it will be able to meet its obligations under this Lease of the 328 Premises and/or the 330 Premises, and under the sublease, in a timely manner; and

(3) The proposed assignment or sublease shall be subject to approval by Lessor’s mortgage lender, if Lessor’s mortgage lender so requires under the express terms of its written agreement with Lessor; and Lessor shall use its good faith efforts to obtain such approval promptly following Lessee’s request.

Lessor’s consent to the assignment or sublease shall be in a separate instrument signed by Lessor, Lessee, and the assignee or sublessee containing the relevant provisions of this Paragraph 22 and otherwise in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor and its counsel.

(d) As a condition to Lessor’s granting its consent to any assignment or sublease, (1) Lessor may require that Lessee reimburse Lessor for Lessor’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in the negotiation, preparation, and review by Lessor and Lessor’s counsel of the documentation relating to the proposed assignment or sublease, including Lessor’s consent thereto (not to exceed $2,000); (2) Lessor may require that Lessee pay to Lessor, as and when received by Lessee, fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any excess of the consideration actually received by Lessee in connection with said assignment or sublease over and above the rental amount fixed by this Lease and payable by Lessee to Lessor, after deducting only (A) the cost of any work performed by Lessee in the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises at Lessee’s expense in connection with such assignment or sublease, provided, that any such work shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19(d); (B) a standard leasing commission payable by Lessee in consummating such assignment or sublease; and (C) reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lessee and Lessor in connection with such assignment or sublease, including the reimbursement by Lessee of Lessor’s attorneys’ fees referred to above; and (3) Lessee and the proposed assignee or sublessee shall demonstrate to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction that each of the criteria referred to in subparagraph (c) above is satisfied.

(e) Each assignment or sublease agreement to which Lessor has consented shall be an instrument in writing which complies with the provisions of this Paragraph 22 and in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, and shall be executed by both Lessee and the assignee or sublessee, as the case may be. Each such assignment or sublease agreement shall recite that it is and shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease, that the assignee or sublessee accepts such assignment or sublease, that Lessor’s consent thereto shall not constitute a consent to any

 

-29-


subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or the assignee or sublessee, and, except as otherwise set forth in a sublease approved by Lessor, the assignee or sublessee agrees to perform all of the obligations of Lessee hereunder (to the extent such obligations relate to the portion of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises assigned or subleased or as appropriate), and that the termination of this Lease of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises shall, at Lessor’s sole election, constitute a termination of every such assignment or sublease of the premises affected by such termination.

(f) In the event Lessor shall consent to an assignment or sublease, except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 22(g) or 22(h), Lessee shall remain primarily liable for all obligations and liabilities of Lessee under this Lease of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises or both, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent. Lessor may condition Lessor’s consent to the assignment of this Lease to the waiver by Lessee, as Assignor, in form acceptable to Lessor, of all of Lessee’s rights as guarantor of the performance by the assignee of the obligations of Lessee under the Lease of the 328 Premises or the Lease of the 330 Premises provided for in the California suretyship statutes, including, but not limited to, Title 13 of the California Civil Code.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor’s prior written consent, and without any participation by Lessor in assignment and subletting proceeds, assign this Lease of the 328 Premises and/or the Lease of the 330 Premises, or sublet all or any portion of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises to a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlled by or under common control with Lessee, or to a successor corporation to Lessee by merger, consolidation or reorganization, or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Lessee’s business operations conducted on the 328 Premises, the 330 Premises, or both (each, a “Permitted Affiliate”); provided, that except as specified hereafter (and except in cases where Lessee does not survive the transaction), Lessee shall remain primarily liable for all obligations and liabilities of Lessee under this Lease with respect to such space, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent. Lessee’s foregoing rights to assign this Lease or to sublet the 328 Premises and/or the 330 Premises to a Permitted Affiliate shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) there shall be no uncured Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 27) by Lessee under the Lease of the 328 Premises or the Lease of the 330 Premises; (2) in the case of an assignment or subletting to a Permitted Affiliate, Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor hereunder to the extent Lessee survives the transaction; (3) if as a result of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization Lessee is not a surviving entity, the transferee or successor entity to Lessee shall have on the effective date of such transaction a net worth as shown on its current balance sheet certified by an officer of the assignee or sublessee (hereinafter “transferee”) or successor entity at least equal to that of Lessee immediately prior to the effective date of the assignment or sublease, or, if less, financial resources sufficient, in Lessor’s reasonable good faith judgment, to perform the obligations under the assignment or sublease, as applicable; and (4) the transferee or successor entity shall expressly assume in writing, in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor, Lessee’s obligations hereunder accruing from and after the effective date of such assignment or subletting.

(h) The sale or transfer of Lessee’s capital stock in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by Lessee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise in connection with any other bona fide financing transaction shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting, or other transfer of this Lease or the Premises affected, provided, that in the event of the sale, transfer or issuance of Lessee’s securities in connection with a merger, consolidation, or reorganization in which Lessee is not a surviving entity, the conditions set forth in Paragraph 22(g)(1), (3), and (4) shall apply.

 

-30-


(i) Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 22 any assignment or sublease without Lessor’s prior written consent (where such consent is required hereunder) shall at Lessor’s election be void. The consent by Lessor to any assignment or sublease shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Paragraph 22, including the requirement of Lessor’s prior written consent with respect to any subsequent assignment or sublease. If Lessee shall purport to assign this Lease, or sublease all or any portion of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, or both, without Lessor’s prior written consent (if such consent is required hereunder), Lessor may collect rent from the persons or entity then or thereafter occupying the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises or both, and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Paragraph 22, or the acceptance of any such purported assignee, sublessee, or occupant, or a release of Lessee from the further performance by Lessee of covenants on the part of Lessee contained herein.

(j) Lessee shall not hypothecate or encumber its interest under this Lease or any rights of Lessee hereunder, or enter into any license or concession agreement respecting all or any portion of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, or both, without Lessor’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, subject to all of the provisions of this Paragraph 22.

(k) In the event of any sale or exchange of the Property by Lessor and assignment of this Lease by Lessor, upon Lessor providing Lessee with written confirmation that Lessor has transferred any security deposit held by Lessor to Lessor’s successor in interest, and upon the assumption by the transferee of all of Lessor’s obligations hereunder accruing from and after the effective date of such assignment, Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely relieved of all liability under any and all of Lessor’s covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease with respect to the period commencing with the consummation of the sale or exchange and assignment.

(l) The parties acknowledge that Lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Lessor may continue the Lease in effect after Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

23. Non-Waiver.

(a) No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Lessor to enforce any remedy for the violation of that provision, even if that violation continues or is repeated. Any waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any provision of this Lease must be in writing.

(b) No receipt of Lessor of a lesser payment than the rent required under this Lease shall be considered to be other than on account of the earliest rent due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a payment or check shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Lessor may accept checks or payments without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover all amounts due and pursue all other remedies provided for in this Lease.

 

-31-


Lessor’s receipt of money from Lessee after giving notice to Lessee terminating this Lease shall not reinstate, continue, or extend the Lease term or affect the termination notice given by Lessor before the receipt of the money. After serving notice terminating this Lease, filing an action, or obtaining final judgment for possession of the 328 Premises and/or the 330 Premises, Lessor may receive and collect any rent, and the payment of that rent shall not waive or affect such prior notice, action, or judgment.

24. Holding Over. Lessee shall vacate the 328 Premises and the 330 Premises and deliver the same to Lessor in the condition required by this Lease upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease of the 328 Premises or the Lease of the 330 Premises, or both. In the event of holding over by Lessee after the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, or both, without Lessor’s written consent, such holding over shall be on a month-to-month tenancy and all of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during such period, including, but not limited to, the payment by Lessee of the Additional Rent, except that Lessee shall pay Lessor as Monthly Base Rent during such holdover an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the term for the Premises to which the holdover applies in addition to Operating Expenses and Taxes that accrue with respect to such premises during the holdover. If such holdover is without Lessor’s written consent, Lessee shall also be liable to Lessor for all costs, expenses, and consequential damages incurred by Lessor as a result of such holdover. The rental payable during such holdover period shall be payable to Lessor on demand.

25. Damage or Destruction.

(a) In the event of a total destruction of the 328 Building or the 330 Building, and related improvements during the term of the Lease of the 328 Premises or the term of the Lease of the 330 Premises from any cause, either party may elect to terminate the Lease of the Building destroyed effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the casualty occurs. A total destruction shall be deemed to have occurred for this purpose if either the 328 Building or the 330 Building, or both, and related improvements are destroyed to the extent of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the replacement cost thereof. If this Lease is not terminated with respect to either or both of the 328 Building or the 330 Building, Lessor shall repair and restore the 328 Building and/or the 330 Building, or both, as applicable, and improvements in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect thereto, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable with respect to the affected premises shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 25(f) below.

(b) Subject to Paragraph 25(d), in the event of a partial destruction of the 328 Building or the 330 Building and related improvements to an extent less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the replacement cost thereof and if the damage thereto can be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of two hundred forty (240) days from the date of such casualty, and if the casualty is from a cause which is insured (or required to be insured) under Lessor’s “all risk” property insurance, or is insured under any other coverage then carried by Lessor, Lessor receives such insurance proceeds, and such proceeds are sufficient to repair, reconstruct and restore the affected premises and improvements, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 25(f) below. If any of the foregoing conditions is not met, Lessor shall

 

-32-


have the option of either repairing and restoring the affected premises and improvements, or terminating this Lease with respect to the affected premises effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written notice of termination to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the casualty, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 25(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 25, except as set forth in Paragraph 25(d), Lessor shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the cost to repair the damage to the affected premises or improvements would be less than five percent (5%) of the replacement cost thereof, regardless of whether or not the casualty is insured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 25, if the cost to repair the damage to the affected premises and improvements exceeds five percent (5%) of the replacement cost thereof, and Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee may nullify the effect of such termination by giving Lessor written notice within ten (10) days after receipt by Lessee of Lessor’s notice of termination that Lessee elects to repair the damage to the affected premises and improvements at Lessee’s sole cost (to the extent the costs exceed the proceeds received by Lessor from Lessor’s property insurance), in which event this Lease shall remain in effect with respect to the affected premises, provided that rent abatement shall not extend beyond the date that the restoration is substantially completed.

(c) In the event of a partial destruction of the 328 Building or the 330 Building and improvements to an extent equal to or exceeding twenty-five percent (25%), but less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the replacement cost thereof, or in the event the damage thereto cannot be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such casualty, Lessee may terminate this Lease with respect to the affected premises and improvements by giving written notice of termination to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the casualty. The foregoing shall not affect Lessor’s termination rights under subparagraph (b) above.

Furthermore, if such casualty is from a cause which is not insured under Lessor’s “all risk” property insurance, or is not required by this Lease to be insured under any other insurance carried by Lessor or required hereunder to be carried by Lessor, Lessor may elect to repair and restore the affected premises and improvements (provided that Lessee has not elected to terminate this Lease pursuant to the first sentence of this Paragraph 25(c)), or Lessor may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the casualty by giving written notice of termination to Lessee, subject to the limitations of Paragraph 25(b). Lessor’s election to repair and restore the affected premises and improvements or to terminate this Lease, shall be made and written notice thereof shall be given to Lessee within forty-five (45) days after the casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if Lessor has not obtained all necessary governmental permits for the restoration and commenced construction of the restoration within one hundred twenty (120) days after the casualty, Lessee may terminate this Lease with respect to the affected premises by written notice to Lessor given at any time prior to the actual commencement of construction of the restoration; or (2) if Lessor elects to repair and restore the affected premises and improvements under subparagraph (b) or (c) above, but the repairs and restoration are not substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the casualty plus the period of any delays in the completion of the repairs and restoration caused by strikes, labor disputes, unavailability of materials, inclement weather, or acts of God (“force majeure delays”), Lessee may terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessor given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the casualty (plus the period of any force majeure delays, but not by more than thirty (30) additional days), provided that the work of repairs and restoration has not been commenced prior to the receipt of such notice by Lessor.

 

-33-


(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 25, if at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises there is damage to the 328 Building, or the 330 Building or both, and improvements for which the cost to repair exceeds five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the 328 Building, the 330 Building, or both, and improvements, whether or not an insured loss, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor’s election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage; provided, however, that Lessee may nullify such termination by exercising its option to extend with respect to the premises affected prior to the expiration of the option exercise period if an option to extend is in effect with respect to the premises affected on the date Lessee receives such notice of termination.

(e) If the Lease of the 328 Premises or the Lease of the 330 Premises is not terminated by Lessor or Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Lessor shall complete the repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 25(f) below.

(f) In the event of repair, reconstruction, or restoration as provided herein, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionally in the ratio which the Lessee’s use of the affected premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction, or restoration, from the date of the casualty until such repair, reconstruction or restoration is completed.

(g) With respect to any destruction of the 328 Building or the 330 Building and improvements which Lessor is obligated to repair, or may elect to repair, under the terms of this Paragraph 25, the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by the parties. Lessor’s time for completion of the repairs and restoration of the Building and improvements referred to above shall be extended by a period equal to any delays caused by strikes, labor disputes, unavailability of materials, inclement weather, or acts of God, but not by more than thirty (30) days.

(h) In the event of termination of this Lease with respect to the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises or both pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph 25, the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid to the date of the casualty. In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any damages resulting to Lessee from the occurrence of such casualty, or from the repairing or restoration of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises and improvements, or from the termination of this Lease as provided herein, nor shall Lessee be relieved thereby from any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly set forth in this Paragraph 25, and except in the event of termination of this Lease by either party in which case Lessee shall be relieved of its obligations under this Lease that accrue from and after the date of such termination, except for obligations which survive the expiration or termination of this Lease by the express provisions hereof.

(i) In the event of any termination of this Lease as to the 330 Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 25, Lessee shall also have the right to terminate this Lease as to the 328 Premises regardless of whether or not the 328 Premises have been damaged.

 

-34-


26. Eminent Domain.

(a) If the whole or any substantial part of the Property is taken or condemned by any competent public authority for any public use or purpose, the term of this Lease shall end upon the earlier to occur of the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose or the vesting of title in such public authority. Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. Lessee shall be entitled to receive any damages separately awarded by the court for (1) leasehold improvements installed at Lessee’s expense, if any, or other property owned by Lessee, and (2) reasonable costs of moving by Lessee to another location in Santa Clara County, California. The entire balance of the award shall be the property of Lessor.

(b) If there is a partial taking of the Property by eminent domain which is not a substantial part of the Property and the balance of the Property remains reasonably suitable for continued use and occupancy by Lessee for the purposes referred to in Paragraph 13, Lessor shall complete any necessary repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with a just and proportionate abatement of the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent, based on the extent to which Lessee’s use of the Property is impaired thereafter. If after a partial taking, the Property is not reasonably suitable for Lessee’s continued use and occupancy for the uses permitted herein, Lessee may terminate the Lease of the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises, whichever is adversely affected, or both if both are adversely affected, on the earlier of the date title vests in the public authority or the date possession is taken. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 26(a), the entire award for such taking shall be the property of Lessor.

27. Remedies. If any payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sum due from Lessee under this Lease is not received by Lessor within five (5) days after receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lessor stating that the same is past-due; or if Lessee breaches any other term of this Lease for thirty (30) days or more after receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lessor (unless such default is reasonably incapable of cure within thirty (30) days and Lessee commences cure within thirty (30) days and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion within a reasonable time); or if Lessee breaches any provision of this Lease and such breach is not curable; or if Lessee’s interest herein, or any part thereof, is assigned or transferred, either voluntarily or by operation of law (except as expressly permitted by other provisions of this Lease); or if Lessee makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or if this Lease is rejected (1) by a bankruptcy trustee for Lessee, (2) by Lessee as debtor in possession, or (3) by failure of Lessee as a bankrupt debtor to act timely in assuming or rejecting this Lease; then any of such events shall constitute an event of default and breach of this Lease by Lessee. Any such rejection of this Lease shall not cause an automatic termination of this Lease. Whenever in this Lease reference is made to a default by Lessee, such reference shall refer to an event of default after any notice and expiration of the cure period provided for in this Paragraph 27, or elsewhere in this Lease (an “Event of Default”). An Event of Default by Lessee with respect to the 328 Premises or the 330 Premises shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the entire Property for purposes of this Paragraph 27. Upon an Event of Default by Lessee Lessor may, at its option, elect the remedies specified in subparagraph (a) or (b) below:

(a) Lessor may repossess the Property and remove all persons and property therefrom. If Lessor repossesses the Property because of an Event of Default by Lessee, this Lease shall terminate with respect to the entire Property and Lessor may recover from Lessee:

 

-35-


(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination including interest thereon at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, from the time of termination until paid;

(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided, including interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, from the time of termination until paid;

(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%); and

(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s breach or by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

(b) If Lessor does not repossess the Property, then this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee’s right to possession and Lessor may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent and other sums due from Lessee hereunder. For the purposes of this Paragraph 27, the following do not constitute a repossession of the Property by Lessor or a termination of the Lease by Lessor:

(1) Acts of maintenance or preservation by Lessor or efforts by Lessor to relet the Property; or

(2) The appointment of a receiver by Lessor to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.

28. Lessee’s Personal Property. If any personal property of Lessee remains on the Property after (1) Lessor terminates this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 27 above following an Event of Default by Lessee, or (2) after the expiration of the Lease term or after the termination of this Lease pursuant to any other provisions hereof, Lessor shall give written notice thereof to Lessee pursuant to applicable law. Lessor shall thereafter release, store, and dispose of any such personal property of Lessee in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.
