Failure of Tenant to execute and deliver such certificate within ten (10) days following its request by Landlord shall constitute binding and conclusive acceptance of the Premises and acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included in Exhibit D, as prepared by Landlord, are true and correct.

3.3 Size of Premises. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the calculations of the Rentable Area set forth in the Lease Summary were subject to verification by Landlord and Tenant prior to execution of this Lease and that the same shall be the agreed upon basis of the calculation of Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share.

ARTICLE 4

RENT

Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all Rent payable hereunder, without set-off or deduction, in lawful money of the United States of America Tenant shall pay the Rent as follows:

4.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent without notice or demand, in installments due and payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term. Along with and in addition to each monthly Base Rent payment under the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any sales or privilege tax required under applicable Law. In the event of any fractional calendar month, Tenant shall pay for each day in such partial month a rental equal to 1/30 of the Base Rent. Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant will deliver to Landlord the first month’s Base Rent and Estimated Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to provide a credit to Tenant for the cost of Tenant’s test fit, which shall be applied to the first month’s rent in the amount of $[***] (total cost was $[***] and Landlord has already reimbursed Tenant in the amount of $[***]).

 

14


4.2 Tenant’s Cost Allocation. In addition to the Base Rent and all other payments due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Cost Allocation, as follows:

4.2.1 Estimated Payments. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Cost Allocation for each calendar year of the Term (the “Estimated Payment”) in advance, in monthly installments, commencing on the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount it is to pay hereunder and continuing until the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which Landlord notifies Tenant of any revised Estimated Payment. Landlord shall estimate from time to time, but not more than twice per calendar year, the amount of Tenant’s Cost Allocation for each calendar year of the Term, make an adjustment to the Estimated Payment due for such calendar year and notify Tenant of the revised Estimated Payment in writing. Within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice of such adjustment and the revised Estimated Payment, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fraction of such revised Estimated Payment for such calendar year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.2.1). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such calendar year to the date of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. All subsequent payments by Tenant for such calendar year shall be based upon such adjustment and the revised Estimated Payment. In the event of any fractional calendar month, Tenant shall pay for each day in such partial month a rental equal to 1/30 of the Estimated Payment. During the first full calendar year of the Term, Tenant’s Cost Allocation is estimated to be [***] per rentable square foot in the Premises.

4.2.2 Reconciliation. Within a reasonable period after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth Tenant’s Cost Allocation for such year. If Tenant’s Cost Allocation for such year exceeds the total of the Estimated Payment made by Tenant for each year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Statement and any amount payable by Tenant that would not otherwise be due until after the termination of this Lease, shall, if the exact amount is uncertain at the time that this Lease terminates, be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon such termination in an amount to be estimated by Landlord with an adjustment to be made once the exact amount is known. If the Estimated Payment made by Tenant exceeds Tenant’s Cost Allocation for such year, then Landlord shall credit against Tenant’s next ensuing Estimated Payment(s) an amount equal to the difference until the credit is exhausted. If a credit is due from Landlord after the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit within thirty (30) of such determination. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, and Landlord’s failure to deliver the Statement shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to make the adjustments set forth herein.

4.2.3 Landlord’s Records. Landlord shall maintain records respecting Project Operating Costs and determine the same in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Tenant or its representative (which may not be an accountant or other consultant compensated on a contingency basis) shall have the right to examine such records

 

15


upon reasonable prior notice specifying which records Tenant desires to examine, during normal business hours at the place or places where such records are normally kept, by sending such notice no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the furnishing of the Statement. Tenant may take exception to matters included in Project Operating Costs or Landlord’s computation of Tenant’s Proportionate Share by sending notice specifying such exception and the reasons therefor to Landlord no later than sixty (60) days after Landlord makes such records available for examination. If Tenant takes exception to any matter contained in the Statement as provided herein, Landlord shall refer the matter to an independent certified public accountant of Landlord’s choice, subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval, whose certification as to the proper amount shall be final and conclusive as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall promptly pay the cost of such certification, including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, unless such certification determines that Tenant was overbilled by more than five percent (5%) in the aggregate for the applicable year, in which event Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of such certification not to exceed [***]. Pending resolution of any such exceptions in the foregoing manner, Tenant shall continue paying Tenant’s Cost Allocation in the amounts determined by Landlord, subject to adjustment after any such exceptions are so resolved. Tenant acknowledges that any information gathered through an audit is strictly confidential and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than Tenant’s financial and legal consultants. The Statement shall be considered final, except as to matters to which exception is taken in the mariner and within the times specified herein.

4.2.4 Other Taxes Payable by Tenant. In addition to the Base Rent and any other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall, as an element of Rent, reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) that are not otherwise reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties, where such taxes are upon, measured by, or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other personal property located at the Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant or Landlord; or (b) this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises, including but not limited to any sales tax on the Rent paid hereunder. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any taxes or other charges as required under this Lease, the Base Rent shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the reimbursement being unlawful.

4.3 Place of Payment. All Rent shall be paid at the address Landlord may from time to time designate in writing and in no event shall Landlord’s acceptance of Rent from any party other than the Tenant named in the Lease Summary create a tenancy between Landlord and such party.

4.4 Interest and Late Charges. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent within five (5) days of when due, after giving effect to any applicable grace periods, the unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the Interest Rate. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, including, without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, in addition to interest, if any such payment is not received by Landlord within five (5) days from when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late

 

16


charge equal to [***] of such payment. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for loss resulting from Tenant’s nonpayment. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages for any default of Tenant or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. In addition, any cheek returned by the bank for any reason will be considered late and will be subject to all late charges, plus a [***] fee. After two (2) returned checks in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord will have the right to receive payment by a cashier’s check or money order. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as to compel Landlord to accept any payment of Rent in arrears or late charges should Landlord elect to apply its rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law or in equity in the event of a Default.

ARTICLE 5

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit, as shown on the Lease Summary. The Security Deposit shall serve as security for the prompt, full, and faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. In the event that Tenant is in Default hereunder, or in the event that Tenant owes any amounts to Landlord upon the expiration of this Lease, Landlord may use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. The use or application of the Security Deposit or any portion thereof shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided hereunder or under any Law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages. In the event the Security Deposit is reduced by such use or application, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, within ten (10) Business Days after notice, an amount sufficient to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord’s general funds or pay interest on the Security Deposit, Provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations under this Lease, any remaining portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days subsequent to the Expiration Date. If the Premises shall be expanded at any time, or if the Term shall be extended at any increased rate of Rent, the Security Deposit shall thereupon be proportionately increased (and the application of the same towards rent pursuant to item 13 of the Lease Summary shall adjust accordingly). No trust or fiduciary relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Premises during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall pay the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor-in-interest, in which event the transferring Landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant waives the provisions of all Laws now in force or that become in force after the date of execution of this Lease, that require return of any remaining Security Deposit within a specified period or limiting the costs, expenses or damages for which Landlord may use a security deposit, including any provisions of such Laws providing that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean the Premises. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other foreseeable or unforeseeable loss or damage caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Related Party.

Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything that will invalidate or increase the cost of any property coverage, or other insurance policy covering the Building, the Project or any property located therein.

In the event of imposition of any government controls, rules, regulations, or restrictions on the use or consumption of energy or other utilities during the term both Landlord and Tenant shall be bound thereby, and the same shall not constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant. In the event of a difference in interpretation by Landlord and Tenant of any such controls, Landlord’s reasonable interpretation shall prevail, and Landlord shall have the right to enforce compliance therewith.

8.9 Telecommunications. Tenant and Tenant’s telecommunications companies, including but not limited to local exchange telecommunications companies and alternative access vendor services companies (“Telecommunications Companies”), shall have no right of access to or within the Project for the installation and operation of Tenant’s Telecommunications System without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All work with respect to Tenant’s Telecommunications System shall be subject to the terms of Article II of this Lease and such work shall be deemed to be an Alteration. Without in any way limiting Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to a proposed request for access, Landlord shall have the right to consider whether a Telecommunications Company is willing to pay reasonable monetary compensation for the use and occupation of the Building for the Telecommunications System.

ARTICLE 9

CONDITION OF THE PREMISES

9.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is leasing the Premises on an “as is, where is” basis, and that Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant, in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 of this Lease, in “as-is” and “where-is” condition; provided, however, that upon such delivery of possession to Tenant, the existing Building structural systems; roof systems; plumbing systems (including all existing connections and distribution of plumbing to existing internal appliances); window systems; window coverings; elevator systems; restrooms; base Building HVAC mechanical systems; base Building electrical systems; fire and life safety systems; and the floor and the ceiling grid and installed lighting shall all be free from latent and structural defects, in good and proper working order, and in full compliance with all Laws, including, without limitation, all building codes and ordinances governing the use and occupancy of office buildings where the Premises are located as of the time the same were installed or constructed. Subject to Landlord’s express obligations contained in this Lease, Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be deemed conclusive evidence that, as of the date of taking possession, the Premises were in good order and satisfactory condition, and in full compliance with such requirements. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work in the Premises (including, without limitation, demolition of any improvements existing therein or construction no rights in of any tenant finish-work or other improvements therein). All additions, alterations or improvements to the Premises required or desired to be made by Tenant shall be completed by Tenant in accordance with and subject to the terms of Article 11 of this Lease and Exhibit E, and Exhibit E-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof. No promise of Landlord to alter, remodel, repair, or improve the Premises, the Building or the Project, and no representation, express or implied, respecting any matter or thing relating to the Premises, the Building, the Project or this Lease (including, without limitation, the condition thereof) have been made to Tenant by Landlord or its broker or sales agent, other than as may be expressly contained in this Lease. Promptly following the Possession Date, Tenant shall construct the Tenant Improvements in the Premises as described and defined in Exhibit E and Exhibit E-l.

9.2 In the event Tenant discovers any noncompliance with Landlord’s delivery conditions described above in Section 9.1, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such

 

25


noncompliance within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date set forth in Section 1 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information and, if notice is timely received, Landlord shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently pursue the reasonable cure of such noncompliance. In the event Tenant discovers any noncompliance with Landlord’s delivery conditions described above in Section 9.1 above after the one hundred eighty (180) day period, except for the cost of curing latent structural defects (which shall be Landlord’s obligation to cure and shall not be limited to the time-period above), Landlord shall not be responsible to cure such noncompliance, which cure shall be the responsibility of Tenant at its sole cost and expense. All work required of Landlord pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be diligently completed by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable Laws. All repairs required under this Section 9.2 shall be commenced promptly following Landlord’s timely receipt of written notice, but in any event within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice (except when the repairs require more than thirty (30) days for performance and Landlord commences the repairs within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues the repairs to completion). If the need for any such repairs (i) materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to obtain Permits for Tenant Improvements, as documented by Tenant in a written notice delivered to Landlord within one (1) Business Day following the occurrence of each such interference, (ii) prevents or delays a certificate of occupancy for the Premises from being obtained by Tenant, as documented by Tenant in a written notice delivered to Landlord within one (1) Business Day following the occurrence of each such prevention or delay, (iii) materially interferes with Tenant’s efforts to construct or complete Tenant Improvements, as documented by Tenant in a written notice delivered to Landlord within one (1) Business Day following the occurrence of each such interference, or (iv) otherwise materially interferes with Tenant’s preparation of the Premises for business or materially impacts Tenant’s ability to conduct business on the Premises, as documented by Tenant in a written notice delivered to Landlord within one (1) Business Day following the occurrence of each such interference or impact, then the Commencement Date for the portion of the Premises affected shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of delay following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice as required hereunder caused by the need for such Landlord repairs.

ARTICLE 10

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

10.1 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall maintain in good order, condition, and repair the portions of the Building, the Project and the Premises that are not the obligation of Tenant or any other tenant in the Building. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any damage to or defective condition in any part or appurtenance of the Building Systems serving, located in, or passing through the Premises or any other damage that Landlord is obligated to repair. Tenant hereby waives and relinquishes any right Tenant may have under any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect to make any repairs at Landlord’s expense. Landlord shall promptly replace the HVAC system exclusively serving the Premises as and when necessary, to maintain the average temperature of the occupied offices (excluding laboratories and server rooms) in the Premises between 68° to 74° Fahrenheit,

26


Premises in good order, condition, and repair, including, without limitation, the following: (a) all plumbing, including but not limited to all plumbing fixtures, pipes, fittings, or other parts of the plumbing system that exclusively serve the Premises; (b) all fixtures, interior walls, floors, carpets, draperies, window coverings, and ceilings of the Premises; (c) all windows, doors, entrances, and plate glass; (d) all electrical wiring, facilities and equipment, including, without limitation, any light fixtures, lamps, bulbs, tubes, fans, vents, exhaust equipment, and systems that exclusively serve the Premises; (e) any mechanical systems exclusively serving the Premises, (f) any fire detection or extinguisher equipment that Landlord does not maintain, and (g) all janitorial services required for the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of such HVAC system throughout the Term.

10.3 Damage by Tenant. Except for ordinary wear and tear, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any costs that Landlord may incur in making repairs and alterations in and to the Premises, the Building, Building Systems, the Project or facilities, systems or equipment of the Project (and in no event shall the provisions of Section 17.3 apply to such reimbursement obligation), where the need for such repairs or alterations is caused by any of the following: (a) Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises in a fashion that contravenes any provision of this Lease; (b) the installation, removal, use, or operation of Tenant’s Property; (c) the moving of Tenant’s Property into or out of the Building; or (d) any misuse, tortious act, omission, or negligence of any Tenant Related Parties.

10.4 Load and Equipment Limits. Tenant shall not without Landlord’s consent place a load upon the Premises that exceeds the load per square foot, that the structural portions of the Premises were designed to carry, as determined by Landlord or Landlord’s structural engineer. Upon demand Tenant shall pay the cost of any such determination for items other than the equipment, library, files, and furniture originally approved by Landlord or by Landlord’s structural engineer.

ARTICLE 11

ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

11.1 Tenant’s Alterations. Tenant shall not make any additions, alterations, or improvements (the “Alterations”) to the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord. Consent shall be requested by Tenant at least [***] days prior to the commencement of any work and such request for consent shall include (A) Tenant’s proposed plans and specifications for the Alterations, (B) a detailed critical path construction schedule containing the major components of the Alterations and the time required for each, including the scheduled construction commencement date, milestone dates and the estimated completion date, (C) an itemized statement of estimated construction costs, including fees for permits and architectural and engineering fees, (D) evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s ability to pay the cost of the Alterations, (E) the names and addresses of Tenant’s licensed and reputable contractors (and said contractors’ subcontractors) and materialmen to be engaged by Tenant for the Alterations (individually, a “Tenant Contractor,” and collectively, “Tenant’s Contractors”); however, Landlord may designate a list of approved contractors for any portions of the Alterations involving the Building’s structure or the Building Systems, from which Tenant must select its contractors for such portions of the Alterations (“Approved Contractors”), and (F) certificates of insurance, evidencing the insurance required under this Article 11. If Tenant desires to contract with a contractor who is not on

 

27


Landlord’s list of approved contractors, Tenant shall submit the name of the contractor to Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to approve the contractor, which approval shall not be unreasonably denied. Landlord’s consent to the Alterations (and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications therefor) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and any changes or modifications to the Alterations or such plans or specifications thereafter shall require Landlord’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Landlord’s review and approval of the plans and specifications for the Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all Laws. Landlord’s consent may be conditioned, among other things, on Tenant’s removing any such Alterations at the Expiration Date and restoring the Premises to the same condition as on the Possession Date, and, if requested by Tenant in writing at the time Tenant seeks Landlord’s consent for any Alteration, Landlord will specify which portion of the Alterations must be removed/restored at the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right during the Term to make cosmetic Alterations as Tenant may reasonably deem desirable or necessary (the “Cosmetic Alterations”), without Landlord’s consent, provided that such Alterations (i) are not visible from outside of the Premises; (ii) do not affect the Building’s structure or any Building System; (iii) do not trigger any legal requirement which would require any alteration or improvements to the Building or Project; (iv) do not, in the aggregate, exceed $[***] (for Alterations other than floor and wall covering) in any twelve (12) month period; and (v) do not require any license, permit or approval under applicable Law and do not result in the voiding of Landlord’s insurance, the increasing of Landlord’s insurance risk or the disallowance of sprinkler credits. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such Cosmetic Alterations, which notice shall be accompanied by reasonably adequate evidence that such changes meet the foregoing criteria. Except as otherwise provided, the term “Alterations” shall include Cosmetic Alterations.

11.2 Construction Requirements. All Alterations shall be (a) performed under a valid permit when required, a copy of which shall be furnished to Landlord before commencement of construction, (b) performed in a good and workmanlike manner using only new, first class materials and Tenant shall obtain contractors’ warranties against defects in materials and workmanship; (c) performed in compliance with all applicable Laws, all applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters), the National Electrical Code, manufacturer’s specifications and Landlord’s construction rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 (the “Construction Rules”); (d) performed by Tenant’s Contractors that are approved by Landlord; (e) performed so as not to cause or create any jurisdictional or other labor disputes, including, without limitation, use of union labor if required by Landlord; (f) performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Project or the Common Areas or the conduct of business by Landlord or other tenants in the Project and coordinated with any other work in the Project by Landlord or its tenants in order to minimize interference with such work; and (g) diligently prosecuted to completion. Tenant agrees to (1) carry (or cause its general contractor to carry) “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and (2) cause all of Tenant’s Contractors to agree, in their construction contracts with Tenant, to meet all of the insurance requirements applicable to Tenant pursuant to Article 18 (including providing the certificates of insurance required thereunder). Tenant shall pay to Landlord a percentage of the cost of the Alterations if Tenant contracts directly with Landlord for the construction of the Alterations. The percentage amount will be established by mutual agreement based on what is commercially reasonable for the amount

 

28


of the Alterations for the Project, which is sufficient to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s supervision of or involvement with the Alterations. Landlord may require, at Landlord’s sole option, that Tenant provide to Landlord such security as reasonably determined by Landlord to protect Landlord against any liability in connection with the Alterations, including but not limited to a lien and completion bond naming Landlord as a co-obligee. Promptly after completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord “as-built” plans and specifications (including all working drawings) for the Alterations.

Landlord shall have the right to inspect the construction of the Alterations; however, Landlord’s failure to inspect any portion of the Alterations shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights under this Article 11, nor shall Landlord’s inspection of any portion of the Alterations constitute Landlord’s approval thereof If, as a result of Landlord’s inspection, Landlord disapproves of any portion of the construction of the Alterations, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved. In the event Landlord disapproves of any matter that might adversely affect any Building System, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant, Landlord may take such action as Landlord deems necessary, at Tenant’s expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord’s part, to correct any such matter, including, without limitation, causing the cessation of the applicable work.

11.3 Lien Free Completion. Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with full and final waivers of liens and contractors’ affidavits and statements, in such form as may be required by Landlord, Landlord’s title insurance company and any Mortgagee, from all parties performing labor or supplying materials or services in connection with the Alterations showing that all of said parties have been compensated in full. Additionally, if Tenant fails to make any payment relating to the Alterations, Landlord, at its option, may make such payment and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred therefor within five (5) days of Landlord’s demand.

11.4 Notices and Liens. Tenant agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of any mechanic or materialman to be placed or filed against the Premises, the Building or the Project. In case any such lien shall be filed, Tenant shall satisfy and release such lien of record within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be required by any Mortgagee) after the earlier to occur of (a) receipt of notice thereof from Landlord; or (b) Tenant’s actual knowledge or notice of such lien filing. If Tenant shall fail to have such lien satisfied and released of record as provided herein, Landlord may, on behalf of Tenant, without being responsible for making any investigation as to the validity of such lien and without limiting or affecting any other remedies Landlord may have, pay the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for such amount together with any other reasonable costs of Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to contest any such lien claim diligently and in good faith, and during such contest shall not be obligated to pay such lien claim, provided that Tenant is not in breach of any of its obligations under this Lease and provided, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, bonds the lien, or transfers the lien from the Property to a bond, thereby freeing the Property from any claim of lien. Notwithstanding any such contest or title insurance, Tenant shall pay any such claim in full within ten (10) days following the entry of an unstayed judgment or order of sale. All materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers and any

 

29


other person now or thereafter furnishing any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment to Tenant with respect to Premises or any portion thereof, are hereby charged with notice that they must look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for the same. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor, services, materials, supplies, skill, machinery, fixtures or equipment furnished to or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit and that no mechanic’s lien or any other lien for any such labor, services, materials, supplies, machinery, fixtures or equipment shall attach to or effect the state or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises or the Project, or any portion thereof. Before the actual commencement of any work for which a claim or lien may be filed, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of the intended commencement date a sufficient time before that date to enable Landlord to post notices of nonresponsibility or any other notices that Landlord deems necessary for the protection of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Building or the Project, and Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises and post such notices at any reasonable time.

12.5 Renovations. Landlord may during the Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the “Renovations”) the Building, the Premises, or the Project, including without

 

30

Any Rules and Regulations shall be uniformly applied and not in conflict with this Lease. The terms of this Lease will control in the event of a conflict with any such Rules and Regulations.

ARTICLE 14

Except as provided in this Article, Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord, make any Transfer.

 

31


14.1 Notice. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any proposed Transfer (a “Transfer Notice”). The date of the proposed Transfer must be not less than forty-five (45) days or more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall include (a) the proposed effective date of the Transfer; (b) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”); (c) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including, without limitation, a calculation of the Transfer Premium (as defined below); (d) the name and address of the Transferee; (e) current financial statements of the Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof; (f) any other information that will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the Transferee and the nature of such Transferee’s business; and (g) the proposed use of the Subject Space. Landlord shall respond to any properly delivered Transfer Notice within thirty (30) days.

14.2 Fees.

14.3 Consent. Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Permitted Transfer. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any other proposed Transfer. It shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:

14.3.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business that is not consistent with the quality of the Building.

14.3.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes that are not permitted under this Lease.

14.4 Intentionally Deleted.

 

32


14.5 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord [***] of any Transfer Premium received by Tenant. “Transfer Premium” shall mean (a) all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis; (b) all key money and bonus money paid by Transferee; and (c) any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee. The “Transfer Premium” shall (i) be reduced by all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, such as construction of improvements, free rent, customary brokerage commissions and reasonable attorneys’ fees; and (ii) shall not include any compensation for the fair market value of Tenant’s Property nor reasonable compensation for the sale of Tenant’s business that is not attributable to the value of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder. Tenant shall pay the Transfer Premium to Landlord within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant. Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by Tenant (which certification shall be executed on behalf of Tenant by its chief financial officer) as accurate, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium. Within one (1) year following the date of the Transfer, Landlord shall have the right upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times at Tenant’s office in Colorado, to audit (which may not be an accountant or other consultant compensated on a contingency basis) the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer as necessary to confirm the calculation of the Transfer Premium. If the Transfer Premium shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. If the Transfer Premium has been understated by more than [***], Tenant shall pay the costs incurred by Landlord for the audit in an amount not to exceed [***].

14.6 Intentionally Deleted.

14.7 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (a) no terms or conditions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived or modified; (b) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer; (c) no Transfer shall be valid, and no Transferee shall take possession of the Premises, until an executed counterpart of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer has been delivered to Landlord; and (d) no Transfer shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor from primary liability under this Lease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord of any provision hereof. In the event of Default by a Transferee in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of the Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to the Lease by Transferees without notifying Tenant, and without obtaining its consent thereto, and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease and Tenant hereby consents to all or any of the foregoing. Any Transfer for which Landlord’s consent is required but not obtained pursuant hereto shall constitute a Default under this Lease and shall be void and, if such Transfer results in the insolvency of Tenant and/or Tenant is unable to pay its debts (including the Rent due hereunder) as such debts become due, then the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be personal liabilities of the owners of the ownership interests in Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to look to such owners for the performance of all of the Tenant obligations under this Lease as if such owners had personally guaranteed this Lease.

14.8 Tenant Remedy for Landlord Refusal to Consent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any applicable Laws to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby expressly agree

 

33


that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Landlord unreasonably withheld consent to a proposed Transfer, then Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies for such breach by Landlord shall be limited to (i) termination of this Lease as of the date of such court determination, or (ii) specific performance. Tenant hereby expressly waives the right to recover monetary damages of any kind whatsoever and attorney’s fees incurred on account of any such breach.

ARTICLE 15

DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE

15.1 Landlord Termination Rights. If the Premises or the portion of the Building or the Project necessary for Tenant’s occupancy is damaged by fire, earthquake, terrorism, act of war, act of God, the elements or other casualty, then Landlord may terminate this Lease upon notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty, effective as of the date of the casualty if (a) in Landlord’s opinion, repairs necessary for Tenant’s occupancy cannot be completed within ninety (90) days; (b) any other portion of the Building or the Project is damaged to the extent that, in Landlord’s opinion, repair thereof cannot be completed within ninety (90) days; (c) the Premises or the portion of the Building or the Project necessary for Tenant’s occupancy is damaged during the final twelve (12) months of the Term, unless Tenant shall exercise its next available renewal option (if any) within ten (10) days following receipt of Landlord’s termination notice, or unless both parties agree on an extension of this Lease within such ten (10) day period; (d) the insurance proceeds available to Landlord are not sufficient to complete repair or restoration; (e) Landlord’s lender does not elect to make insurance proceeds available to Landlord for repair and restoration; or (f) Tenant has vacated the Premises or is in Default under this Lease.

15.2 Repairs. If this Lease is not terminated as provided above, it shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment, and subject to all other terms of this Article, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises, the Common Areas and the portions of the Project serving the Premises. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of such items as prior to the casually, except for modifications (a) required by Law; (b) required by the holder of a mortgage on the Building, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Property; or (c) to the Common Areas reasonably deemed desirable by Landlord, and which are consistent with the character of the Project. No such modifications shall materially impair access to the Premises and any Common Areas serving the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the repair, restoration, and replacement of any leasehold improvements installed by Tenant (unless Landlord has elected to insure the same, in which case such repair shall be Landlord’s responsibility to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from such insurance for such repair) and Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of business, inconvenience, or annoyance arising from any casualty or any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises, the Building, or the Project as a result of any damage from any casualty. Following Landlord’s repair of the Premises, Tenant shall repair and restore any improvements installed by Tenant to substantially the same condition as prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by Law. All work by Tenant shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Article 11.

15.3 Tenant’s Termination Rights. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot be completed

 

34


within three hundred sixty five (365) days after being commenced (the “Repair Period”) as determined by an architect or contractor designated by Landlord, Tenant may elect, no earlier than [***] days after the date of the casualty and not later than [***] days after the date of such casualty, to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord, effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than [***] days nor more than [***] days after such notice. In addition, in the event that the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord within [***] days after such casualty, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. Tenant shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if Landlord does not complete repairs within the Repair Period by [***] days’ notice to Landlord after the expiration of the Repair Period; provided however, if Landlord completes repair within such [***] day period, such termination shall be nullified and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

15.4 Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall pay the Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease that by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

15.5 Abatement. The Rent shall abate on an equitable basis to the extent Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of the casualty and continuing until completion of the repairs required of Landlord; provided that if the damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of any Tenant Related Party, Rent shall only abate to the extent the same is covered by rent loss insurance, if any, carried by Landlord.

15.6 Express Agreement. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises, the Building, or the Project by fire or other casualty; and any present or future Law that purports to govern the rights of Landlord and Tenant in such circumstances in the absence of express agreement is hereby waived by the parties and shall have no application.

ARTICLE 16

EMINENT DOMAIN

16.1 Entire Premises. If the whole of the Building or the Premises is lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date of the date title vests or the date possession is given, and Rent shall be prorated to such date.

16.2 Partial Condemnation. If less than the whole of the Building or the Premises is so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, except that (a) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within [***] days after the date of such taking if [***] or more of the Premises is taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its business; and (b) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within [***] days after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall terminate on the [***] day after either such notice. Rent shall be prorated to the date of such termination. If this Lease continues in force upon such partial taking, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be equitably adjusted according to the remaining Rentable Area of the Premises and the Project.

 

35


16.3 Proceeds of Award. In the event of any taking, partial or whole, all of the proceeds of any award, judgment, or settlement payable by the condemning authority shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, whether awarded as compensation for the damages to Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Premises and whether or not awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title, and interest in any award, judgment, or settlement from the condemning authority. Tenant, however, shall have the right, to the extent that Landlord’s award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to Tenant’s Property.

16.4 Repairs. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises that does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to the condemnation or taking. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration, and replacement of Tenant’s Property.

ARTICLE 17

INDEMNIFICATION, WAIVER, RELEASE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

17.1 Indemnity. Except for any injury or damage to persons to the extent caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord Related Parties, no Landlord Related Parties shall be liable for, and Tenant will and does hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Related Parties against and from all Claims that may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties and arising, directly or indirectly, out of or in connection with Tenant’s use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises, the Building or the Project, including, without limitation, any of the following: (a) any work or thing done in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or any part thereof by any Tenant Related Party; (b) any injury or damage to any person or property caused by a Tenant Related Party; (c) any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease; and (d) any negligent or otherwise tortious act or omission of any Tenant Related Party. In no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall Tenant be liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, including, without limitation, any damages based on lost profit or rents.

Except for any injury or damage to persons or property to the extent caused by or resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant Related Parties, no Tenant Related Parties shall be liable for, and Landlord will and does hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Tenant Related Parties against and from all Claims that may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against any of the Tenant Related Parties and arising, directly or indirectly, out of or in connection with Landlord’s use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises, the Building or the Project, including, without limitation, any of the following: (a) any work or thing done in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or any part thereof by any Landlord Related Party; (b) any injury or damage to any person caused by a Landlord Related Party; (c) any failure on the part of Landlord to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease; and (d) any negligent or otherwise tortious act or omission of any Landlord Related Party.

36


17.2 Assumption of Risk. Tenant, to the fullest extent permitted by law and as a material part of the consideration to Landlord for this Lease, hereby waives and releases all Claims against any Landlord Related Parties with respect to all matters for which Landlord has disclaimed liability pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. Tenant agrees that, unless expressly provided herein, no Landlord Related Parties will be liable for any loss, injury, death, or damage to persons, property, or Tenant’s business resulting from any of the following, regardless of whether the same is due to the active or passive negligence of any Landlord Related Party: (a) theft; (b) Force Majeure, order of governmental body or authority, fire, explosion or falling objects; (c) any accident or occurrence in the Premises or any other portion of the Building or the Project caused by the Premises or any other portion of the Building or the Project being or becoming out of repair or by the obstruction, breakage or defect in or failure of equipment, pipes, sprinklers, wiring, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning or lighting fixtures of the Building or the Project or by broken glass or by the backing up of drains, or by gas, water, steam, electricity or oil leaking, escaping or flowing into or out of the Premises; (d) construction, repair or alteration of any other premises in the Building or the Premises, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; (e) business interruption or loss of use of the Premises; (f) any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view by any structure erected on the Land or any land adjacent to the Project, even if Landlord is the adjacent land owner; (g) mold or indoor air quality; (h) any acts or omissions of any other tenant, occupant or visitor of the Building or the Project; or (i) any cause beyond Landlord’s control. In no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall Landlord be liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, including, without limitation, any damages based on business interruption, lost profits or loss of or damage to any of Tenant’s Property. None of the foregoing shall be considered a constructive eviction of Tenant, nor shall the same entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent.

17.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding (other than as provided in Section 10.3 above), Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action against the other for any loss or damage to any property of Landlord or Tenant, arising from any cause that (a) would be insured against under the terms of any property insurance required to be carried hereunder; or (b) is insured against under the terms of any property insurance actually carried, regardless of whether the same is required hereunder. The foregoing waiver shall apply regardless of the cause or origin of such claim, including but not limited to the negligence of a party, or such party’s agents, officers, employees or contractors. The foregoing waiver shall not apply if it would have the effect, but only to the extent of such effect, of invalidating any insurance coverage of Landlord or Tenant. The foregoing waiver shall also apply to any deductible, as if the same were a part of the insurance recovery.

17.4 Limitation of Landlord Liability. Neither Landlord nor any Landlord Related Party shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of the Lease, or the Premises. If Landlord is in breach or default with respect to Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall look solely to recovery from Landlord’s (i) insurance for the satisfaction of Tenant’s

 

37


remedies or judgments for matters covered in any manner by Landlord’s insurance and shall not seek recovery from Landlord’s assets or equity interest in the Project, and (ii) assets and equity interest in the Project for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies or judgment for matters not covered in any manner by Landlord’s insurance. No real, personal, or mixed property of any Landlord Related Parties, wherever situated, shall be subject to levy to satisfy such judgment. Upon any Transfer of Landlord’s interest in this Lease or in the Project, the transferring Landlord shall have no liability or obligation for matters arising under this Lease from and after the date of such Transfer.

ARTICLE 18

18.1.2 Property Insurance covering (a) Tenant’s Property, and (b) any improvements and Alterations made by Tenant or at Tenant’s request. Such insurance shall be written on a “Causes of Loss – Special Form” basis (or its equivalent), for the full replacement cost (as shall be approved by Landlord) without deduction for depreciation, and shall include coverage for vandalism, malicious mischief and sprinkler leakage. The proceeds of such insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property so insured. Upon termination of this Lease following a casualty as set forth herein the proceeds under (a) shall be paid to Tenant and the proceeds under (b) in excess of Tenant’s unamortized cost associated therewith shall be paid to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the option at any time, upon three (3) months’ notice to Tenant, to procure property insurance covering leasehold improvements on all the premises throughout the Building, and Tenant shall thereafter pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the premium of such policy as an element of Project Operating Costs.

18.1.3 Business Income and Extra Expense insurance (or its equivalent) in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils, for a period of not less than twelve (12) months.

38


Landlord agrees to carry during the Term (i) commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence, insuring against any and all liability of Landlord with respect to the ownership, operation and/or use of the Project, (ii) rental loss insurance for a period of twelve (12) months in an amount sufficient such that the insurer would not deem Borrower a co-insurer under the policy, and (iii) property insurance for the Building and Project as required by Landlord’s lenders. Landlord shall, upon request, furnish Tenant a certificate of such Landlord’s insurance policies.

18.2 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. All liability insurance shall (a) name Landlord, Landlord’s asset manager, Landlord’s property management agent, the Advisor, and at Landlord’s request, any Mortgagee, each as an additional insured, as their respective interests may appear; (b) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease; (c) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A - IX in Best’s Insurance Guide or that is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State; (d) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord shall be excess and non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (e) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled, expire or coverage reduced unless thirty (30) days’ prior notice shall have been given to Landlord; and (f) if Tenant has a tangible net worth of less than [***], have a deductible not greater than [***].

18.3 Evidence of Insurance.

Tenant agrees that, if Tenant does not obtain and maintain such insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) after [***] Business Days’ notice to Tenant during which time Tenant does not supply Landlord evidence of the required insurance, procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge Tenant the premiums therefor, payable upon demand. Tenant shall have the right to provide the insurance required hereunder pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant, provided such blanket policies afford coverage as required by this Lease, without diminution of coverage based upon claims not related to the Premises, Project or this Lease.

18.4 Additional Insurance Obligations. Landlord may require (a) that Tenant obtain additional types of insurance, including but not limited to earthquake, sprinkler leakage by earthquake, environmental and terrorism insurance to the extent such coverages are either (i) standard for similar properties in the same geographic area as the Property and are available at commercially reasonable rates, or (ii) arc otherwise reasonably required by Landlord; and (b) from time to time, but not more frequently than every three (3) years during the Term, increases in the policy limits for all insurance to be carried by Tenant as set forth herein, in order to reflect standard limits for similar properties.

 

39


18.5 independent Obligations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s insurance obligations under this Lease arc independent of Tenant’s indemnity obligations, liabilities and duties under this Lease.

ARTICLE 19

40


19.1.11 Tenant fails to perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease not covered by the preceding subsections, where such failure continues for [***] Business Days after notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or such additional period as is reasonably necessary to effect cure, provided Tenant commences cure within such [***] Business Day period and diligently pursues the same to completion within [***] days following Landlord’s notice.

19.1.12 Tenant shall repeatedly fail to pay Rent when due or any other charges required to be paid, or shall repeatedly default in keeping, observing or performing any other covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, whether or not Tenant shall timely cure any such payment or other default. For the purposes of this subsection, the occurrence of the same breach by Tenant [***] times during any [***] month period shall constitute a repeated default.

Any notice periods provided for under this Section shall run concurrently with any statutory notice periods and any notice given hereunder may be given simultaneously with or incorporated into any such statutory notice.

19.2 Landlord’s Default. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the need for any repairs or action with respect to other matters that are Landlord’s obligation under this Lease. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, condition, or agreement contained in this Lease within [***] days after receipt of notice from Tenant, or if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within [***] days, and if Landlord fails to commence to cure within such [***] day period or to diligently prosecute the same to completion, then subject to the other limitations set forth elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s breach; provided that in no event shall (a) Landlord be liable for indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, any damages based on lost profits; or (b) Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease on account of a Landlord default. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other charges due and payable under this Lease unless Tenant has obtained a final, non-appealable judgment against Landlord for the amount due.

ARTICLE 20

LANDLORD REMEDIES AND DAMAGES

20.1 Remedies. In the event of a Default, then in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, without further notice or demand of any kind, to do any or all of the following without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have:

20.1.1 Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by giving notice to Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and expel or remove Tenant and any other party who may be occupying the Premises, or any part, thereof, whereupon Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease.

 

41


20.1.2 Continue this Lease in full force and effect, whether or not Tenant has vacated or abandoned the Premises, and sue upon and collect any unpaid Rent or other charges, that have or thereafter become due and payable.

20.1.3 Continue this Lease in effect, but terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof, whereupon Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises without the same constituting an acceptance of surrender.

20.1.4 In the event of any re-entry or retaking of possession by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, (a) to expel or remove Tenant and any other party who may be occupying the Premises, or any part thereof; and (b) to remove all or any part of Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property on the Premises and to place such property in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant.

Landlord may relet the Premises without thereby avoiding or terminating this Lease (if the same has not been previously terminated), and Tenant shall remain liable for any and all Rent and other charges and expenses hereunder. For the purpose of reletting, Landlord is authorized to make such repairs or alterations to the Premises as may be necessary in the sole but reasonable discretion of Landlord for the purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not realized from such reletting (after payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of such repairs, alterations and the expense of such reletting (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and brokerage fees) and the collection of rent accruing therefrom) each month to equal the Rent, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency each month upon demand therefor. Actions to collect such amounts may he brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until the expiration of the Term.

20.1.5 Without any further notice or demand, Landlord may enter upon the Premises, if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or claim for damages therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of the Lease. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable expenses that Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord (but subject to the other limitations on Landlord’s liability set forth in this Lease). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord will have no obligation to cure any Default of Tenant.

20.1.6 Landlord shall at all times have the right, without prior demand or notice except as required by Law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy or irreparable harm.

20.1.7 To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Landlord shall have the right, without notice to Tenant, to change or re-key all locks to entrances to the Premises, and Landlord shall have no obligation to give Tenant notice thereof or to provide Tenant with a key to the Premises.

 

42


20.1.8 The rights given to Landlord in this Article are cumulative and shall be in addition and supplemental to all other rights or remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease and under applicable Laws or in equity.

20.2 Damages. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession under the provisions above, Landlord may recover the following damages from Tenant:

20.2.1 Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination; plus

20.2.2 Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after termination, until the time of award; plus

20.2.3 Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, if any; plus

20.2.4 Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises; (b) maintaining the Premises after Default; (c) preparing the Premises or any portion thereof for reletting to a new tenant, including, without limitation, any repairs or alterations, whether for the same or a different use; (d) reletting the Premises, including but not limited to, advertising expenses, brokers’ commissions and fees, and (e) any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant.

20.2.5 Other Damages. At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Law.

As used in Sections 20.2.1 and 20.2.2 the phrase “worth at the time of the award” shall be computed by adding interest on all such sums from the date when originally due at the Interest Rate. As used in Section 20.2.3, the phrase “worth at the time of the award” shall be computed by discounting the sum in question at the Federal Reserve rate promulgated by the Federal Reserve office for the district in which the Project is located, plus one percent (1%).

20.3 Rent after Termination. Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have the right to continue to collect Rent after any termination (whether said termination occurs through eviction proceedings or as a result of some other early termination pursuant to this Lease) for the remainder of the Term, less any amounts collected by Landlord from the reletting of the Premises, but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of any such rents collected over the Rent.

20.4 No Termination. A termination of this Lease by Landlord or the recovery of possession of the Premises by Landlord or any voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing franchises or concessions, licenses, permits, subleases, subtenancies or the like between Tenant and any third party with respect to the Premises, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant’s interest in same. Following a Default, Landlord shall have the right to require any subtenants to pay all sums due under their subleases directly to Landlord.

 

43


20.5 Waiver of Demand and Notice. All demands for Rent and all other demands, notices and entries, whether provided for under common law or otherwise, that arc not expressly required by the terms hereof, are hereby waived by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing waiver of notices, Landlord may elect to serve such notices (including statutory notices) and combine such notices with any notices required under the provisions of this Lease.

20.6 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant hereby waives, relinquishes and releases for itself and for all those claiming under Tenant any right of occupancy of the Premises following termination of this Lease, and any right to redeem or reinstate this Lease by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ.

20.7 Deficiency. If it is necessary for Landlord to bring suit in order to collect any deficiency, Landlord shall have the right to allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to bring an action on several or all of the accrued deficiencies at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to bring a similar action for any subsequent deficiency or deficiencies.

20.8 Counterclaim. Tenant hereby waives any right to plead any counterclaim, offset or affirmative defense in any action or proceedings brought by Landlord against Tenant for possession of the Premises or otherwise, for the recovery of possession based upon the non-payment of Rent or any other Default, except for compulsory counterclaims. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert any claim in a separate action brought by Tenant against Landlord.

20.9 Mitigation of Damages. Both Landlord and Tenant shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages resulting from a default of the other party under this Lease in accordance with Law; provided that any failure by Landlord to mitigate damages in accordance with the foregoing shall not give rise to any liability of Landlord for breach of this Lease, but shall only serve to reduce the recovery by Landlord by the amount of damages that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to mitigate damages after a Default shall be satisfied in full if Landlord undertakes to lease the Premises to another tenant (a “Substitute Tenant”) in accordance with the following criteria:

20.9.1 Landlord shall have no obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with any Substitute Tenant until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises.

20.9.2 Landlord shall not be obligated to offer the Premises to a Substitute Tenant when other premises in the Project suitable for that tenant’s use are (or soon will be) available.

20.9.3 Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the Premises to a Substitute Tenant for a rental amount less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar uses in comparable buildings in the same market area as the Project, nor shall Landlord be obligated to enter into a new lease under other terms and conditions that are unacceptable to Landlord under Landlord’s then current leasing policies for comparable space in the Project.

 

44


20.9.4 Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with any Substitute Tenant whose use would:

1. Violate any restriction, covenant, or requirement contained in the lease of another tenant of the Project or any other agreement to which Landlord is a party;

2. Be incompatible with the operation of the Project as a first-class project.

20.9.5 Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with any Substitute Tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Premises in a first-class manner.

20.9.6 Landlord shall not be required to expend any amount of money to alter, remodel, or otherwise make the Premises suitable for use by a Substitute Tenant unless:

1. Tenant pays any such sum to Landlord in advance of Landlord’s execution of a lease with such Substitute Tenant (which payment shall not be in lieu of any damages or other sums to which Landlord may be entitled as a result of Tenant’s Default); or

2. Landlord determines in its sole discretion that any such expenditure is financially justified in connection with entering into any such lease.

20.9.7 Upon compliance with the above criteria regarding the releasing of the Premises after a Default, Landlord shall be deemed to have fully satisfied Landlord’s obligation to mitigate damages under this Lease and under any Law, and Tenant waives and releases, to the fullest extent legally permissible, any right to assert in any action by Landlord to enforce the terms of this Lease, any defense, counterclaim, or rights of setoff or recoupment respecting the mitigation of damages by Landlord, unless and to the extent Landlord maliciously or in bad faith fails to act in accordance with the requirements of this Section. Until Landlord is able, through such efforts, to relet the Premises, Tenant must pay to Landlord, on or before the first day of each calendar month, the monthly Rent and any other charges provided in this Lease. No such reletting shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless Landlord gives Tenant a notice of such intention. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous Default.

ARTICLE 21

BANKRUPTCY

21.1 In the event a petition is filed by or against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor and debtor in possession, and any trustee who may be appointed agree to adequately protect Landlord as follows:

 

45


21.1.1 to pay monthly in advance on the first day of each month as reasonable compensation for use and occupancy of the Premises an amount equal to all Rent due pursuant to this Lease;

21.1.2 to perform each and every obligation of Tenant under this Lease until such time as this Lease is either rejected or assumed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction;

21.1.3 to determine within [***] days after the filing of such petition whether to assume or reject this Lease;

21.1.4 to give Landlord at least [***] days’ prior notice, unless a shorter period is agreed to in writing by the parties, of any proceeding relating to any assumption of this Lease;

21.1.5 to give at least [***] days’ prior notice of any vacation or abandonment of the Premises, any such vacation or abandonment to be deemed a rejection of this Lease; and

21.1.6 to do all other things to benefit Landlord otherwise required under the Bankruptcy Code.

29.1 Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Property and to the lien of any mortgages, deeds to secure debt or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Property or the Building, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof (collectively, “Mortgages”), and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such Mortgages. In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage, deed to secure debt or trust deed, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, Tenant shall attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be (the “Purchaser”), and recognize the Purchaser as the lessor under this Lease, which attornment shall be effective as of the date that the Purchaser acquires title to the Property; however, the Purchaser shall have the right to accept or reject such attornment upon written notice to Tenant and in no event shall such attornment be negated by a foreclosure. In no event shall Tenant have a right of offset against amounts due any Purchaser on account of any defaults by Landlord under this Lease that pre-date the time the Purchaser becomes the lessor hereunder, nor shall any Purchaser be liable for any such defaults by Landlord. Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days of request by Landlord or the Purchaser (as applicable), execute such further commercially reasonable Mortgagee or Purchaser instruments or assurances as Landlord may, reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any Mortgages or Tenant’s attornment to the Purchaser (as applicable). Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law that may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, should any Mortgagee require that this Lease be prior rather than subordinate to its Mortgage, or require that Tenant attorn to any Purchaser, then in such event, this Lease shall become prior and superior to such Mortgage, or Tenant shall so attorn, upon notice to that effect to Tenant from such Mortgagee. The aforesaid superiority of this Lease to any Mortgage shall be self-operative upon the giving of such notice and no further documentation other than such notice shall be required to effectuate such superiority or attornment. In the event Landlord or such Mortgagee desires confirmation of such superiority or attornment, Tenant shall, promptly upon request therefor by Landlord or such Mortgagee, and without charge therefor, execute a document acknowledging such priority or attornment obligation to the Mortgagee as Landlord in the event of foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof or termination of a ground lease.

Landlord and, any purchaser, assignee or Mortgagee may rely upon any such statement. If Tenant fails to deliver an executed Estoppel Certificate within said [***] day period and Landlord provides a second written request for the Estoppel Certificate, Tenant shall be in Default pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.1.3 if Tenant fails to deliver and executed Estoppel Certificate within [***] Business Days following the second written request (“Estoppel Certificate Default”). If an Estoppel Certificate Default occurs it shall be conclusive against Tenant (1) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as represented by Landlord; (2) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance and that Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim, or deduction against Rent; (3) not more than [***] Rent has been paid in advance; and (4) as to the truth and accuracy of any other matters set forth in the statement as submitted to Tenant.

An Option or Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Option or Right, if, after such exercise and prior to the commencement of the extended term, termination of the Lease, or expansion of the Premises, if Tenant commits a Default beyond applicable cure periods, if any, under this Lease.
