ARTICLE 3 - TERM

Section 3.01. The term (“Term”) of this Lease shall begin on the Commencement Date and end at 12:00 noon on the date (the “Expiration Date”) 63 months from: (a) the Commencement Date, if the Commencement Date is the first day of a month; or (b) the last day of the month in which the Commencement Date occurs, if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month.

At such time as the Commencement Date is established, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a Lease Supplement (herein so defined) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, to confirm the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, and to make such other modifications necessitated by the establishment of the Commencement Date. Failure to execute a Lease Supplement by either party shall not affect the occurrence of the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date.

Section 3.02. Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for two (2) additional five (5) year terms, commencing at 12:01 a.m. on the first day immediately following the then current Expiration Date (“Extension Term”). Tenant shall exercise such right to extend this Lease by giving Landlord written notice to such effect at least one (1) year prior to the then current Expiration Date; provided, however, that the right to extend is contingent upon (a) this Lease being in full force and effect and (b) Tenant not being in default hereunder after the delivery of notice and beyond the expiration of applicable cure periods, both at the time of giving such written notice and at the commencement of the Extension Term. Upon the giving of such written notice by Tenant and the compliance by Tenant with the aforesaid conditions, this Lease shall be automatically extended for the Extension Term referred to in such notice with the same effect as if such Extension Term had originally been included in the Term of this Lease, and all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except such as are inapplicable or inappropriate to such Extension Term and except as set forth herein, shall continue in full force and effect for such Extension Term. The Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. All reference in this Lease to the Term of this Lease and to the Expiration Date shall be deemed to mean, when the Extension Term is in effect, such Extension Term and the date of expiration of such Extension Term, respectively. Upon the commencement of the Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the terms of such extension, including but not limited to the expiration of the Extension Term and the amount of the Base Rent.

ARTICLE 4 - BASE RENT

Section 4.01. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord in lawful currency of the United States in advance on the first day of each month during the Term without any previous demand therefor, and without any setoff or deduction, but subject to the abatement rights set forth in Section 11.12, the following amount (the “Base Rent”):

(a) months 1-3, no Base Rent;

 

6


(b) months 4-12, $20.00 per rentable square foot per year or $60,000 per month;

(c) months 13-24, $20.60 per rentable square foot per year or $61,800 per month;

(d) months 25-36, $21.22 per rentable square foot per year or $63,660 per month;

(e) months 37-48, $21.86 per rentable square foot per year or $65,580 per month; and

(f) months 49-63, $22.51 per year or $67,530 per month.

The rentable square footage of the Premises (estimated at 36,000 rentable square feet) shall be subject to final verification using the 1996 BOMA/ANSI standard of measurement.

If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, a prorated monthly installment of Base Rent shall be paid by the Commencement Date based on calendar days for the fractional month during which the Commencement Date occurs.

Section 4.02. The Base Rent during each year of the Extension Term (“Extension Term Rent”) shall be at ninety-five percent (95%) of the prevailing market rent for comparable office space in the Building. The parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to establish the Extension Term Rent based on the foregoing criteria, but if the Extension Term Rent has not been confirmed in writing (“Rent Confirmation Agreement”) by the parties no later than nine months prior to the contemplated commencement date of the Extension Term, Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to the Landlord at any time prior to the execution of a Rent Confirmation Agreement, to nullify and void the Extension Term and this Lease shall thereupon terminate at the end of the Term. Should Tenant not elect to nullify this Lease then the setting of the Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be sent to Arbitration.

Section 4.03 It is agreed that if at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make payment “under protest” and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the part of said party to institute suit for the recovery of such sum, and if it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of the Lease, and if at any time a dispute shall arise between the parties hereto as to any work to be performed by either of them under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to perform the work is asserted may perform such work and pay the cost thereof “under protest” and the performance of such work and payment therefor shall in no event be regarded as a voluntary performance or payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of said party to institute suit for the recovery of the cost of such work, and if it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to perform or pay for the same or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover the cost of such work or the cost of so much thereof as said party was not legally required to perform or pay for under the provisions of the Lease.

ARTICLE 5 - OPERATING EXPENSES, TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES

Section 5.01. In addition to Base Rent and all other charges required under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of money (“Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses”) determined by multiplying Tenant’s Share times the amount by which the Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year exceeds the Operating Expenses for the Base Year; provided, however, that if Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses is calculated for any Partial Lease Year, the Operating Expenses for such Partial Lease Year shall be appropriately prorated in making such calculation.

In addition to Base Rent and all other charges required under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of money (“Tenant’s Share of Taxes”) determined by multiplying Tenant’s Share times the amount by which Taxes which are due for payment or were paid during any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year exceeds the Taxes for the Base Year; provided, however, that if Tenant’s Share of Taxes is calculated for any Partial Lease Year, the Taxes for such Partial Lease Year shall be appropriately prorated in making such calculation.

If Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the term of this Lease, the Base Year shall be the year in which the Lease Extension commences for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Taxes. The new Base Year shall be set forth in an amendment to this Lease setting forth the terms of such extension pursuant to Section 3.02.

Section 5.02. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Taxes as follows:

(a) Tenant shall pay Landlord, monthly in advance with each monthly payment of Base Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amounts, if any, estimated from time to time by Landlord to be Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Taxes.

(b) On or before May 31 of each Lease Year or Partial Lease Year after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the preceding Lease Year and a calculation of Tenant’s share thereof. To the extent that Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or Tenant’s Share of Taxes for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year is more than the amount actually paid by Tenant under subparagraph (a), then Tenant shall pay the difference due Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of the aforesaid statement. If the payments made by Tenant under subparagraph (a) above for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year exceed Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or Tenant’s Share of Taxes, such excess shall be credited against the amount next due from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Article or, upon the expiration of the Term, shall be paid to Tenant in cash. Failure of the Landlord to provide Tenant a statement of Operating Expenses and/or Taxes by the

 

8


date specified above shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s obligations to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Taxes, or any rights of Landlord associated with such obligations hereunder.

(c) If this Lease expires or terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Taxes shall be equitably prorated and Tenant’s obligation to pay any underpayment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Taxes or Landlord’s obligation to refund any over payment shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Section 5.03. Tenant further agrees to pay to Landlord the following amounts:

(a) Any and all sums which may become due Landlord by reason of the failure of Tenant, after the giving of any required notice and time to cure, to comply with any one or more of the covenants of this Lease and any and all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that Landlord has suffered or incurred thereby or any damages to the Premises caused by any act or neglect of Tenant.

(b) As a late charge, interest at the Default Rate on any Rent that is not paid within five (5) business days following the due date thereof on two occasions during any Lease Year. On the third and any subsequent occasion such late charge and interest thereon shall accrue from the due date until such Rent is received by Landlord.

(c) All Taxes becoming a lien or charge against the Land and Building to the extent that the same are assessed on the basis of the value of any machinery or equipment installed by Tenant.

(d) All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in performing any alterations, improvements, additions or other work in or to the Premises at the request of Tenant (other than that which Landlord is required to do under the provisions of this Lease without charge to Tenant or under the Work Letter) or to cure any Event of Default hereunder, plus an overhead and construction management fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of such alterations, improvements, additions or other work or amount necessary to cure any default.

Section 5.04. Any sums required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease (other than Base Rent), including, without limitation, any sums payable under this Article 5 or Article 11, shall be deemed to be “Additional Rent”. Tenant agrees to pay (on demand unless otherwise specified herein) Additional Rent in lawful currency of the United States without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and all Additional Rent under this Lease shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.

Section 5.05. Within two (2) years after the end of the period to which such records relate, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to inspect and/or audit Landlord’s books and records (not more than once in any twelve (12) month period), with respect to Operating Expenses, Taxes and any and all other additional rent payable by or claimed

 

9


by Landlord to be payable by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than seven (7) days prior written notice of its intention to conduct any such audit. If such audit discloses that the amount paid by Tenant for any one or more of the above enumerated items for the Lease Year under consideration has been overstated, then Landlord shall immediately rebate to Tenant the amount of overcharge. and if the overstatement shall be five (5%) or more, then in addition to immediately rebating to Tenant the overcharge, Landlord shall also pay the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant for such audit. Provided, that if Landlord disagrees with the results of said audit, the parties will seek to amicably resolve such differences, and, if they fail to do so, will retain an independent third-party auditor to resolve such differences. The findings of any such third-party auditor shall be final and binding on both parties, and the costs of the auditor shall be borne by the party whose position was not correct. Provided further, that neither party may retain an auditor whose compensation is paid on a contingency fee basis.

ARTICLE 6 - USE

Section 6.01. The Premises may be used and occupied only for GENERAL OFFICE PURPOSES which shall include, without limitation, all matters related to the conduct of electronic commerce by Tenant, training of its employees and holding of meetings for its customers, and other matters related to the above, and for no other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

Section 6.02. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way unreasonably obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or other tenants, occupants or invitees of the Building or injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit nuisance in, on or about the Building or the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer the commission of any waste in, on or about the Building or the Premises.

ARTICLE 7 - PRIOR OCCUPANCY; POSSESSION

Section 7.01. There are presently no tenants in the Premises. If Tenant’s occupancy is delayed beyond July 31, 1999, through no fault of the Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord.

Section 10.02. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance, or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated or which conflicts with any certificate of occupancy for the Building.

The final, unappealable judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in an action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has so violated any law, statute, ordinance, or governmental rule, regulation, or requirement, shall be conclusive of such violation as between Landlord and Tenant.

Tenant shall observe faithfully and comply strictly with the Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof, which Rules and Regulations shall be applied on a non-discriminatory basis to all tenants of the Building and shall not unreasonably restrict Tenant’s ability to use and enjoy the Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to make reasonable changes in, and additions to, the Rules and Regulations, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant.

The exterior zones are supplied by floor mounted induction units with hot water and chilled water coils. Both interior and exterior zones are equipped with appropriate ductwork and controls and are designed to accommodate a combined lighting and appliance load of 5 watts per square foot at an average occupancy of one person per 200 square feet. Any additional zones or capacity will be provided at Tenant’s expense.

Section 11.02. Tenant understands that, after the Commencement Date, any occupancy of the Premises above the Building standard occupancy conditions or any rearrangement of partitioning which interferes with normal operation of the HVAC system and/or the fire or other safety equipment or systems, may require changes or alterations in said systems or in the ducts through which the same operates, and Tenant accordingly agrees that any changes or alterations so occasioned shall be done by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, and in accordance with the plans and specifications of Tenant to be submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord. For purposes of this Lease, “Building standard occupancy conditions” shall mean one person per each 200 rentable square feet.

Whenever heat-generating machines or equipment installed by Tenant affect the air-conditioning systems, or the population or electrical load exceeds the Building standard occupancy conditions, Landlord’s responsibility for providing heating, ventilating and air-conditioning

Landlord reserves the right to install at Tenant’s expense supplementary air-conditioning equipment and equipment auxiliary to such supplementary air-conditioning equipment in the Premises, and the charge for such installation and for the operation thereof shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of being billed therefor. Any such installation shall be discussed with Tenant in advance of taking such action, and any action taken shall be reasonable in light of the circumstances.

If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Building by the HVAC systems is affected as a result of any lights, machines, equipment, occupancy or electrical load in or with respect to the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to install any machinery and equipment which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to maintain or restore temperature balance, including modifications to the standard HVAC equipment. The cost of any such additional machinery or equipment, including the cost of installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance incurred thereby, shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of being billed therefor. Any such installation shall be discussed with Tenant in advance of taking such action, and any action shall be reasonable in light of the circumstances.

Section 11.03. If Tenant requires HVAC service on days or hours other than Normal Business Hours, Landlord shall, upon advance notice by Tenant, furnish such additional service and Tenant shall pay for such service as Additional Rent at rates then charged by Landlord (which shall be the actual cost plus administrative expense of less than 5%) within thirty (30) days of being billed therefor.

Tenant may only use the Building loading dock upon 24 hour prior notice to Landlord.

Section 11.05. Landlord shall provide heated and unheated water to the Premises for lavatory, toilet, drinking, ordinary cleaning and other usual purposes drawn through plumbing and other facilities installed by Landlord in a manner consistent with a First Class Office Building.

Base Rent includes a charge for consumption of electricity for the Building standard 277-volt lighting fixtures installed in the Premises and for normal small office machines and fixtures connected to the Building standard 110-volt, single phase outlets, 24 hours per day. Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent, and on a monthly basis, for the consumption of electricity used in the Premises for a total connected load in excess of a total of five (5) watts per square foot of Rentable Area of the Premises at a rate computed on Landlord’s average cost per kilowatt hour. Such average cost shall be determined by dividing the total kilowatt hours used in the Building into the total cost of the utility company’s electricity invoices for the Building. The amount of electrical consumption in the Premises for a total connected load in excess of five (5) watts shall be determined by Landlord’s reasonable estimate, or if requested by Tenant, by an engineering analysis and/or study by a consultant retained by Landlord and Tenant, such study to be at Tenant’s sole cost. For computer floors, supplemental HVAC and other special installations, additional electrical usage shall be determined by measurement by electric meters to be installed as required by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost. If Tenant requires electrical current beyond five (5) watts per square foot, Tenant shall pay for such consumption as Additional Rent, based on the above method of calculating cost. Charges for excess electrical consumption shall be billed and paid as Additional Rent.

Section 12.02. Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days of being billed therefor, the cost of all replacement lamps, bulbs, starters and ballasts used in the Premises, together with the charge for installation thereof.

Any riser or risers or wiring to meet Tenant’s excess electrical requirements, upon written request of Tenant, will be installed by Landlord, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or Premises or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants.

Section 12.04. Tenant shall make no alterations or additions to the electric equipment or installation without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, and all work shall be done by Landlord at Tenant’s expense in accordance with plans and specifications of Tenant to be submitted and approved by Landlord.

If, at any time when Landlord is furnishing electric current to the Premises, it becomes illegal for Landlord to continue to do so, Landlord may, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, discontinue the furnishing of such electric current. If Landlord gives any such notice of discontinuance, Landlord shall make all the necessary arrangements with a public utility to furnish such electric current to the Premises, but Tenant will contract directly with such public utility for the supplying of such electric current to the Premises.

If Tenant fails to have such lien or claim for liens released or to deliver such bond to Landlord with ten (10) days thereof, Landlord, without investigating the validity of such lien, may pay or discharge the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord’s expenses and attorneys’ fees.

All alterations, improvements, additions or fixtures (excluding trade fixtures), including, but not limited to any wiring and cabling, whether installed before or after the making of this Lease, shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and shall become the property of Landlord, unless Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree prior to Tenant’s installing such alterations that Tenant shall have the right to remove such property at the Lease termination, and Tenant shall be obligated to remove such alterations, improvements, additions and fixtures (as were mutually agreed to by the parties) and restore the Premises to the same good order and condition in which they were prior to the commencement of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

If the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be abated to the extent that the Premises shall have been rendered untenantable or unfit for Tenant’s use; provided, however, that should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Premises that had been rendered untenantable or unfit for Tenant’s use prior to the date that Landlord has completed all its repair obligations, Base Rent shall be apportioned and payable by Tenant in

 

24


proportion to (i) the part of the Premises occupied by it, and (ii) Tenant’s ability to use and enjoy such part of the Premises relative to use and enjoyment before such damage or destruction. Base Rent will not be abated for any damage caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its agents, employees or contractors.

Nevertheless, in case of such total or substantial damage to or destruction of, or complete, or substantial untenantability of the Premises, Tenant may, at its option, upon thirty (30) days notice to Landlord, cancel this Lease by written notice to Landlord if either (i) Landlord has not completed the making of the repairs and substantially restored, replaced and rebuilt the Premises to the extent required hereunder within twelve (12) months from the date of such damage or destruction, or (ii) it is reasonably determined by Landlord’s architect and Tenant’s architect (or, if such parties fail to reach an agreement, a mutually agreed to third-party architect) at the time of such destruction that such repair and substantial restoration cannot be performed within twelve (12) months from the date of such damage or destruction.

Provided that Landlord has maintained adequate insurance to cover the “replacement cost” of the Building and the Premises, Landlord’s obligations under this Section 18.01 to repair and replace the Premises shall be limited to the insurance proceeds received.

If the damage to the Building should be so extensive that Landlord shall decide not to repair or rebuild the Building, this Lease shall be terminated as of the date of such damage or destruction by written notice from Landlord to Tenant given within one hundred twenty (120) days after such damage or destruction and Tenant shall thereupon promptly vacate the Premises.

Section 18.02. If the Building or the Premises shall be substantially destroyed by fire or other causes at any time during the last year of the Term of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other party hereto given within sixty (60) days after the date of such destruction.

Section 18.03. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 18.04. No damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises or of the Building. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such repairs promptly following receipt of insurance proceeds and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s occupancy.

Section 18.05. Landlord shall not insure any property that is Tenant’s obligation to insure under Section 15.03.

Section 18.06. In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 18, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant any Rent allocable to the period subsequent to the date of damage or destruction except any portion which may be allocable to partial occupancy. Tenant shall thereupon surrender possession of the Leased Premises. Termination of this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant under this Article 18 shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or remedies which either may have against the other nor relieve Landlord or Tenant of any liability for any loss or damage suffered by reason of the failure of either party to perform any of its obligations under this Lease arising prior to the date of such termination.

ARTICLE 19 - CONDEMNATION

Section 19.01. If the whole or substantially the whole of the Building shall be condemned or taken permanently for any public or quasi-public use, this Lease and the estate hereby granted, shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of taking of possession for such use or purpose.

Section 19.02. If less than the whole or substantially the whole of the Building shall be condemned or taken permanently or if the whole or substantially the whole of the Building is condemned or taken temporarily, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that (a) if the taking shall nevertheless be so extensive that Landlord shall decide not to restore the Building, then Landlord (whether or not the Premises are affected) may, at its option, terminate this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted shall be terminated as of the date of such taking of possession for such use, or (b) if more than ten percent (10%) of the Premises should be condemned or taken, Tenant may elect at any time within thirty (30) days of the date of such taking to cancel this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, and thereupon this Lease shall terminate upon the date Tenant may specify in said notice. If this Lease shall remain in force as to any part of the Premises, the Base Rent shall be abated by an amount representing the part of the Base Rent properly allocable to the portion of the Premises which may be so condemned or taken. In addition, to the extent that access to the Building or parking is materially and adversely affected by a condemnation, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease.

Section 19.03. In the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Sections 19.01 or 19.02, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date of such termination in the same manner and with the same effect as if that were the date set for the normal expiration of the Term of this Lease, and the Base Rent and any Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of such date.

Section 19.04. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award arising from any condemnation proceeding without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease and Tenant shall receive no part of such award or awards, except as provided in Section 19.05. Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord any and all of its right, title and interest in or to such award or awards or any part thereof.

Section 19.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any condemnation or taking as described in this Article, Tenant shall be entitled to appear, claim, prove and receive in the condemnation proceeding such amounts as may be separately awarded to Tenant for removal expenses, business dislocation damages and moving expenses, provided no such claims shall diminish Landlord’s award.

 

26


Section 19.06. In the event of a condemnation or taking as described in this Article 19 and if the Lease has not been terminated as a result thereof, Landlord shall, to the extent of net condemnation award received (net of the cost of collection), proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore the remaining part of the Building (and the Premises, if applicable) to the condition originally provided by Landlord to the extent feasible.

In the case of an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises for such reasonable purposes as Landlord, in its discretion, may find appropriate. Landlord shall also have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times upon prior written notice for the purpose of inspecting it or exhibiting it to prospective purchasers, lessees or mortgagees; provided however, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

ARTICLE 23 - BANKRUPTCY

Section 23.01. If at any time prior to the Commencement Date or during the Term of this Lease (i) there shall be entered a decree or order providing for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the Premises in respect of Tenant in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee sequestrator (or similar official) of Tenant or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and if such decree or order shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, and (ii) Tenant shall have failed to pay Rent timely or otherwise have failed to perform its obligations under this Lease, then, at the option of Landlord exercised within a reasonable period of time after notice of the happening of any such event, may be canceled and terminated and in such event neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court shall be entitled (a) in the case of any such event happening prior to the Commencement Date, to possession of the Premises, or (b) in the case of any such event happening during the Term of this Lease, to remain in possession of the Premises and Tenant shall forthwith quit and surrender the Premises, and Landlord, in addition to the other rights and remedies it has by virtue of any other provision in this Lease contained or by virtue of any statute or rule of law, may retain as liquidated damages any Rent, security deposit or moneys received by it from Tenant or others on behalf of Tenant upon the execution of this Lease.

28


Section 23.03. It is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 23, Landlord shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and for liquidated damages an amount equal to the difference between the Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease and the rental value of the Premises, if lower than the Rent reserved, at the time of termination, for the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease, both discounted at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum to present worth subject to any limitation placed on such recovery by Federal bankruptcy act. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination an amount equal to the maximum amount allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater than, equal to or less than the amount of the difference referred to above.

ARTICLE 24 - - DEFAULTS; REMEDIES; DAMAGES

Section 24.01. Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) The sale of Tenant’s interest in the Premises under attachment, execution or similar legal process;

(b) The occurrence of any event referred to in Article 23 and, in the case of an occurrence of any event referred to in Section 23.01, the continuance of such event for the time period therein specified;

(c) The failure of Tenant to pay any Rent or other sum of money within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice that said amount is past due; provided, that an Event of Default shall occur if Tenant fails to pay Rent as required by this item (c) more than two times during any one Lease Year without any such notice.

(d) The failure by Tenant in the performance or observance of any other covenant or agreement of this Lease (other than a failure involving the payment of money), which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord, unless such failure is of such nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, in which case Landlord shall not exercise the remedies described below so long as Tenant shall commence the curing of the default within such thirty (30) day period and shall thereafter diligently prosecute the curing of same to completion;

(e) The default by Tenant in the performance of any covenant or agreement of this Lease more than three (3) times in any period of twelve (12) months, notwithstanding that such defaults shall have each been timely cured, and after following the procedure required in paragraph (d) for the first three defaults in performance;

 

29


(f) The abandonment of the Premises which shall be defined as the removal by Tenant of all or substantially all of Tenant’s furniture, equipment, appliances and personal property from the Premises or the failure of Tenant to carry on its business at the Premises, unless Tenant shall continue to pay Rent to Landlord;

(g) A default by Tenant under Section 25.01 and Section 25.02 of this Lease;

(h) An assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors or the appointment of a receiver for Tenant by legal proceedings or otherwise.

Section 24.02. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord, without notice to Tenant in any instance (except where expressly provided for below), may do any one or more of the following:

(a) Declare all Rent and Additional Rent to the date of the Default due and payable. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for the net present value of the sum of all Rent plus all Additional Rent that otherwise would have been payable by Tenant during the remainder of the Term had there been no Default, less the net present value of the sum of the fair market value of all Rent plus all Additional Rent that would be paid by a third party in an arms-length transaction to lease the Premises during the remainder of the Term.

(b) Sell at public or private sale all or any part of the goods, chattels, fixtures and other personal property belonging to Tenant which are or may be put into the Premises during the Term, whether exempt or not from sale under execution or attachment (it being agreed that said property shall at all times be bound with a lien in favor of Landlord and shall be chargeable for all Rent and for the fulfillment of the other covenants and agreements herein contained) and apply the proceeds of such sale: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of conducting the sale or caring for or storing said property; second, toward the payment of any indebtedness, including, without limitation, indebtedness for Rent, which may be or may become due from Tenant to Landlord; and third, to pay to Tenant, on demand in writing, any surplus remaining after all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord has been fully paid. Provided, that in no event shall Landlord be able to claim ownership, in whole or in part, of any intellectual property of Tenant, which shall include, without limitation, any proprietary software of Tenant’s which may be stored on any computer system taken by Landlord. In addition, Landlord’s right under this Section 24.02 shall be subordinate to any senior liens which Tenant has granted on any of its assets and Landlord shall grant any waivers (which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) necessary to permit such present or future senior liens.

(c) Elect to terminate this Lease and the property rights created hereby by giving notice of such election to Tenant, and reenter the Premises, by summary proceedings or otherwise, and remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the Premises, and store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant without resort to legal process and without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage occasioned thereby. Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease upon Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any claims Landlord may have against Tenant and shall not relieve Tenant of any liabilities.

 

30


(d) Exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy which Landlord may have.

Section 24.03. Landlord reserves the right to perform, upon thirty (30) days written notice, on behalf and at the expense of Tenant, any obligation of Tenant under this Lease which Tenant has failed to perform, the cost of which performance by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until the date Landlord receives reimbursement, shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, Landlord may act without notice to Tenant if Landlord reasonably believes it would be materially injured by the failure to take rapid action or if the unperformed act of Tenant constitutes an emergency. Landlord shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees for any legal costs incurred to enforce this Section.

Section 24.04. If this Lease is terminated, Landlord may, without further notice, re-enter the Premises by aid of legal process, terminate all services, and relet the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent and alterations of the Premises) as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine, but Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of any failure by Landlord to relet the Premises if Landlord has taken reasonable steps to mitigate damages and relet the Premises following a vacancy by Tenant or an Event of Default. Landlord’s damages shall include, but not be limited to: (a) the deficiency between Rent for what would have been the unexpired Term and any rent collected by Landlord less costs of reletting; or (b) a lump sum payment equal to the difference between Rent for what would have been the balance of the Term and the market rent discounted at five percent (5%) per annum.

Section 24.05. Except in an instance where the parties are disputing an abatement or reduction in Rent, as otherwise set forth in this Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall not interpose any counterclaim in a summary proceeding or in any action based on non-payment of Rent or any other payment required of Tenant hereunder unless the failure to interpose a particular claim as a counterclaim would result in the loss of such claim; notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall not be prevented from raising any defense to Landlord’s claims (as opposed to counterclaims).

 

Initials of Tenant:

 

            

  

Section 24.06. Tenant further authorizes and empowers any such attorney, either in addition to or without such judgment for the specific amount of Rent or accelerated rents due under this Lease, to appear for Tenant, and for any other persons claiming under, by or through Tenant, and confess judgment forthwith against Tenant and such other persons and in favor of Landlord, in an amicable action of ejectment from the Premises, with all the conditions, fees, releases, waivers and confessions of judgments in ejectment as are set forth in this Article for confession of judgment for amounts due. The entry of judgment under the foregoing warrants shall not exhaust the warrants, but successive judgments may be entered thereunder from time to time as often as defaults occur.

 

TENANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT UNDERSTANDS THE CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT AUTHORIZED ABOVE; THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS COMMERCIAL IN NATURE; AND THAT TENANT WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A HEARING OR TRIAL IN COURT WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE REQUIRED BY LAW AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO LANDLORD’S OBTAINING THE JUDGEMENT AUTHORIZED ABOVE.

 

31


Section 24.07. Tenant expressly releases to Landlord and to any and all attorneys who may appear for Tenant all procedural errors in said proceedings and all liability therefor.

Section 24.08. No reference to any specific right or remedy shall preclude Landlord from exercising any other right or from having any other remedy or from maintaining any action to which it may otherwise be entitled by law or in equity. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach, agreement, term, covenant or condition. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant under this Lease or of any breach by any other tenant under any other lease of any portion of the Building shall affect or alter this Lease in any way whatsoever.

Section 24.09. Cumulative Remedies. Acceptance of a sum of money by Landlord or Tenant shall not be implied to mean an accord and satisfaction unless expressly agreed to in writing. It is understood and agreed that the remedies herein given to Landlord or Tenant shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one remedy by Landlord or Tenant shall not be to the exclusion of any other remedy.

 

32


ARTICLE 25 - ASSIGNMENT, MORTGAGING, SUBLEASING AND RECAPTURE

Section 25.01. Mortgages and Encumbrances. Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof in any manner whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void and a material breach and an Event of Default under this Lease.

Section 25.02. Assignment and Sublease. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Tenant shall not assign this Lease, sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow occupancy by anyone other than Tenant (any such assignment, sublease or occupancy, a “Proposed Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall be requested by letter (“Notice”) advising Landlord of its intention from, on and after a stated date (which shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date of the Notice), to sublease or allow occupancy to any part or all of the Premises or to assign its interest in this Lease, and Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold consent; provided that: (a) the proposed sublessee, occupant or assignee shall be of a character in keeping with the standards of the Building; (b) the creditworthiness of the proposed sublessee, occupant or assignee and the proposed use of the Premises shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (c) Tenant provides all reasonably available information on the proposed sublessee, occupant or assignee that Landlord requests; and (d) the sublease, occupancy agreement or assignment is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall also submit any advertising or offering materials that Tenant intends to use in connection with any efforts to sublease, assign or transfer. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant whether it approves or rejects the proposed sublease, occupancy or assignment as set forth in the Notice or whether it elects to recapture the space described in the Notice. If Landlord fails to advise Tenant within twenty (20) days, there shall be a deemed assent on the part of Landlord. Any assignment, occupancy or subletting taken without Landlord’s written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed null and void and a material breach of and Event of Default under this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant may assign this Lease to or permit any corporation or other business entity which is and continues at all times to control, be controlled by, or be under common control with Tenant (each a “related corporation”) to sublet the Premises for any of the purposes permitted to Tenant under this Lease (subject however to compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) provided that (i) Tenant shall not then be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, (ii) prior to such assignment or subletting, Tenant furnishes Landlord with the name of any such related corporation, together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the proposed assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, is a related corporation of Tenant, (iii) in the event of an assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Premises, the assignee or sublessee shall have a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the net worth of Tenant named herein on the date of this Lease, and proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction. For the purposes hereof, “control” shall be deemed to mean ownership of not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of all of the legal and equitable interest in any other business entities.

 

33


Section 25.03. Recapture. Landlord’s notice to Tenant that it has elected to recapture said space shall automatically cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the space therein described as of the date stated in the Notice. If the Notice shall cover all of the Premises, and if Landlord elects to recapture the Premises, the Term of this Lease shall expire and end on the date stated in the Notice as fully and completely as if that date had been herein definitely fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease. If, however, this Lease shall be canceled pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be adjusted on the basis of the number of square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of square feet contained in the Premises and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. Landlord shall not have the right to recapture less than all the space offered by Tenant.

Section 25.04. Corporations and Other Entities. If Tenant is a corporation, a dissolution of the corporation or a transfer of a majority of Tenant’s voting stock (by one or more transaction, other than the sale of publicly traded stock, including, without limitation, an initial public offering by Tenant) shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease subject to the provisions of this Article 25; but such provisions (with the exception of Section 25.06) shall not apply to an assignment or deemed assignment of this Lease on account of the transfer to, or a merger or consolidation transaction with, a corporation or other entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock are transferred, provided that a principal purpose of such merger or transfer is not the assignment of this Lease, and provided that the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the net worth of Tenant on the date of this Lease (and proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction). If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, dissolution of the partnership or the limited liability company or transfer of a controlling interest in Tenant (including by admission of new partners or members or withdrawal of existing partners or members having a controlling interest) shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease subject to the provisions of this Article, regardless of whether the transfer is made by one or more transactions, or whether the controlling interest before the transfer or afterwards is held by more than one person.

Section 25.05. Restrictions on Identity of Assignee or Sublessor. Tenant shall not assign this Lease, sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow occupancy to any existing tenants of the Building (or their subtenants or assignees) or to any prospective tenant with whom Landlord or its agents are currently negotiating or had negotiated for other space in the Building within the six (6) month period prior to the Notice.

Section 25.06 Other Provisions. A sublease or assignment permitted hereunder shall be subject to and made upon the following terms:

(a) Any such sublease or assignment shall be subject to the terms of this Lease and the Term thereof may not extend beyond the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease;

 

34


(b) The use to be made of the subleased or assigned space shall be permissible under this Lease and in keeping with the character of the Building, such that the proposed subtenant shall not: (i) be likely to increase Landlord’s Operating Expenses beyond that which would be incurred for use by other tenancies in the Building; (ii) increase the burden on existing cleaning services or elevators over the burden prior to such proposed subletting; (iii) require any alterations to be performed in or made to any portion of the Building or the Land other than the Premises; or (iv) violate any provision or restrictions herein relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises; if Landlord shall have consented to a sublease and, as a direct and provable result of the use and occupancy of the subleased portion of the Premises by the subtenant, Landlord’s Operating Expenses are increased (as reasonably documented by Landlord), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty(30) days after demand, as Additional Rent, all resulting increases in Operating Expenses;

(c) Such sublease or assignment shall not violate any negative use covenants relating to the Building;

(d) No sublease or assignment shall be valid and no subtenant or assignee shall take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of such sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and, with respect to an assignment, a written consent document among Landlord, Tenant and the assignee in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and each signatory party has been executed, expressly enforceable by Landlord, whereby the assignee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder accruing from the day after the execution thereof;

(e) No sublessee or assignee shall have a right to further sublease or assign;

(f) The Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days following request for payment, as Additional Rent, for any out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses not to exceed $2,500) reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed assignment or sublease, whether or not consummated, including the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant;

(g) Tenant shall not advertise the availability of the Premises for assignment or subletting without Landlord’s approval as to the form and content of such advertisement, which shall, in any case, exclude a description of the Rent;

(h) A permitted subtenant or assignee shall specifically assume the obligations and duties of Tenant hereunder without, however, releasing Tenant from such obligations and duties (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing), and Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of Rent, and for the performance of all other obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease. Any act or omission of any assignee or subtenant, or of anyone claiming under or

 

35


through any assignee or subtenant, that violates any of the obligations of this Lease shall be deemed a violation of this Lease by Tenant unless such act or omission is an act or omission of Landlord or Landlord’s designee or of anyone claiming under or through Landlord or Landlord’s designee;

45


ARTICLE 37 - TENANT OPTIONS

Section 37.01. Expansion. Reserved.

Section 37.02. Option to Expand to 23rd Floor. On or before July 1, 2000, Tenant shall have the option to lease, under the same terms and conditions of this Lease, as the same may be amended, an additional area of not less than 18,000 rentable square feet of space on the twenty-third (23rd) floor, effective upon nine months written notice. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its intent to lease such space on or before September 30, 1999. The Base Rent for such space shall be the then-current escalated Base Rent being paid for the original Premises. The Tenant improvement allowance shall be pro-rated relative to the initial allowance based upon the remaining term of the Lease, calculated according to the following formula: $0.2381 per square foot multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Term. If Tenant does not provide written notice of its intent to occupy such space by September 30, 1999, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its option to expand onto the twenty-third (23rd) floor. Landlord shall deliver such additional space in compliance with the provisions of this Lease.

Section 37.03. Right of First Refusal on 24th and 25th Floors. Tenant shall have a right of first refusal to lease either (or both) of the 24th and 25th Floors of the Building. If at any time during the Term, Landlord shall receive a bona fide offer from a third party for the lease of either the 24th Floor or the 25th Floor which Landlord desires to accept, Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant a copy of the terms of such offer, and Tenant may, within ten business (10) days thereafter, elect to lease such space on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in such offer (except that there shall be no right to relocate Tenant from such space). In addition, if any acceptable third party offer to Landlord shall be for part of the 24th Floor or 25th Floors, Tenant’s right of first refusal shall be applicable thereto, but the failure of Tenant to take up such space shall not bar its right on any additional space subsequently offered on such floor or floors. Provided further, that, after complying with the provisions of this Section 37.03, such third party offer is not consummated, Tenant’s right of first refusal shall remain applicable to subsequent offers. To preserve Tenant’s 24th Floor right of first refusal, Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to lease space other than the 24th Floor of the Building. If Tenant pays an amount equal to or greater than the current Base Rent, the Tenant improvement allowance shall be pro-rated relative to the initial allowance based upon the remaining term of the Lease, calculated according to the following formula: $0.2381 per square foot multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Term. If such Base Rent is less than the then current Base Rent, the tenant allowance shall be on terms substantial the same as those offered to the third-party. Landlord shall deliver such additional space in compliance with the provisions of this Lease.
