5.2. Project Operating Costs

a. In order that the Rent payable during the Term reflect any increase in Project Operating Costs, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of all increases in costs, expenses and obligations attributable to the Project and its operation, all as provided below.

b. If, during any calendar year during the Term, Project Operating Costs exceed the Project Operating Costs for the Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord. In addition to the Base Rent and all other payments due under this Lease, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess Project Operating Costs in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.2b.

(1) The term “Project Operating Costs” shall include all those items described in the following subparagraphs (a) and (b).

(a) All taxes, assessments, water and sewer charges and other similar governmental charges levied on or attributable to the Building or Project or their operation, including without limitation, (i) real property taxes or assessments levied or assessed against the Building or Project, (ii) assessments or charges levied or assessed against the Building or Project by any redevelopment agency, (iii) any tax measured by gross rentals received from the leasing of the Premises, Building or Project, excluding any net income, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes imposed by the State or Federal government or their agencies, branches or departments; provided that if at any time during the Term any governmental entity levies, assesses or imposes on Landlord any (1) general or special, ad valorem or specific, excise, capital levy or other tax, assessment, levy or charge directly on the Rent received under this Lease or on the rent received under any other leases of space in the Building or Project, or (2) any license fee, excise or franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rent, or (3) any transfer, transaction, or similar tax, assessment, levy or charge based directly or indirectly upon the transaction represented by this Lease or such other leases, or (4) any occupancy, use, per capita or other tax, assessment, levy or charge based directly or indirectly upon the use or occupancy of the Premises or other premises within the Building or Project, then any such taxes, assessments, levies and charges shall be deemed to be included in the term Project Operating Costs. If at any time during the Term the assessed valuation of, or taxes on, the Project are not based on a completed Project having at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area occupied, then the “taxes” component of Project Operating Costs shall be adjusted by Landlord to reasonably approximate the taxes which would have been payable if the Project were completed and at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied.

(b) Operating costs incurred by Landlord in maintaining and operating the Building and Project, including without limitation the following: costs of (1) utilities; (2) supplies; (3) insurance (including public liability, property damage, earthquake, and fire and extended coverage insurance for the full replacement cost of the Building and Project as required by Landlord or its lenders for the Project); (4) services of independent contractors; (5) compensation (including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all persons who perform duties connected with the operation, maintenance, repair or overhaul of the Building or Project, and equipment, improvements and facilities located within the Project, including without limitation engineers, janitors, painters, floor waxers, window washers, security and parking personnel and gardeners (but excluding persons performing services not uniformly available to or performed for substantially all Building or Project tenants); (6) operation and maintenance of a room for delivery and distribution of mail to tenants of the Building or Project as required by the U.S. Postal Service (including, without limitation, an amount equal to the fair market rental value of the mail room premises); (7) management of the Building or Project, whether managed by Landlord or an independent contractor (including, without limitation, an amount equal to the fair market value of any on-site manager’s office; (8) rental expenses for (or a reasonable depreciation allowance on) personal property used in the maintenance, operation or repair of the Building or Project; (9) costs, expenditures or charges (whether capitalized or not) required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority; (10) amortization of capital expenses (including financing costs) (i) required by a governmental entity for energy conservation or life safety purposes, or (ii) made by Landlord to reduce Project Operating Costs; and (11) any other costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Lease and not otherwise reimbursed by tenants of the Project. If at any time during the Term, less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Project is occupied, the “operating costs” component of Project Operating Costs shall be adjusted by Landlord to reasonably approximate the operating costs which would have been incurred if the Project had been at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied.

(2) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Project Operating Costs shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as follows:

(a) Beginning with the calendar year following the Base Year and for each calendar year thereafter (“Comparison Year”), Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project Operating Costs incurred by Landlord in the Comparison Year which exceeds the total amount of Project Operating Costs payable by Landlord for the Base Year. This excess is referred to as the “Excess Expenses”.

(b) To provide for current payments of Excess Expenses, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, pay as additional rent during each Comparison Year, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses payable during such Comparison Year, as estimated by Landlord from time to time. Such payments shall be made in monthly installments, commencing on the first day of the

 

		3

---

month following the month in which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount it is to pay hereunder and continuing until the first day of the month following the month in which Landlord gives Tenant a new notice of estimated Excess Expenses. It is the intention hereunder to estimate from time to time the amount of the Excess Expenses for each Comparison Year and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof, and then to make an adjustment in the following year based on the actual Excess Expenses incurred for that Comparison Year.

(c) On or before April 1 of each Comparison Year after the first Comparison Year (or as soon thereafter as is practical), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses for the preceding Comparison Year. If Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual Excess Expenses for the previous Comparison Year exceeds the total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days of the receipt of the statement. If such total exceeds Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual Excess Expenses for such Comparison Year, then Landlord shall credit against Tenant’s next ensuing monthly installment(s) of additional rent an amount equal to the difference until the credit is exhausted. If a credit is due from Landlord on the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section 5.2 shall survive the Expiration Date.

(d) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Excess Expenses in any Comparison Year having less than 365 days shall be appropriately prorated.

(e) If any dispute arises as to the amount of any additional rent due hereunder, Tenant shall have the right after reasonable notice and at reasonable times to inspect Landlord’s accounting records at Landlord’s accounting office and, if after such inspection Tenant still disputes the amount of additional rent owed, a certification as to the proper amount shall be made by Landlord’s certified public accountant, which certification shall be final and conclusive. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such certification unless it is determined that Landlord’s original statement overstated Project Operating Costs by more than five percent (5%).

5.3. Definition of Rent. All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed additional rent (which, together with the Base Rent is sometimes referred to as the “Rent”). The Rent shall be paid to the Building manager (or other person) and at such place, as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any prior demand therefor and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.

5.4 Rent Control. If the amount of Rent or any other payment due under this Lease violates the terms of any governmental restrictions on such Rent or payment, then the Rent or payment due during the period of such restrictions shall be the maximum amount allowable under those restrictions. Upon termination of the restrictions, Landlord shall, to the extent it is legally permitted, recover from Tenant the difference between the amounts received during the period of the restrictions and the amounts Landlord would have received had there been no restrictions.

5.5 Taxes Payable by Tenant. In addition to the Rent and any other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) which 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 in the Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, other than Building Standard Work made by Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant or Landlord; (b) the gross or net Rent payable under this Lease, including, without limitation, any rental or gross receipts tax levied by any taxing authority with respect to the receipt of the Rent hereunder; (c) the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any costs 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.

6. INTEREST AND LATE CHARGES

If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amounts or charges which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, the unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the maximum rate then allowed by law. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Monthly Installment of Base Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and 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 installment is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days from the date it is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such installment. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered from such nonpayment by Tenant. Acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such nonpayment by Tenant nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease.

7. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth at Article 2.1 upon execution of this Lease, as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and Landlord shall have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such Deposit. Tenant shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other amount when due and payable under this Lease, or falls to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may appropriate and apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit for rent payments or any other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any amount for which Landlord has become obligated as a result of Tenant’s default or breach, and for any loss or damage (including, but not limited to, past or future rent) sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default or breach, and Landlord may so apply or use this deposit without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have by reason of Tenant’s default or breach. If Landlord so uses any of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited: Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for at Article 27 hereof. Within fifteen (15) days after the Term (or any extension thereof) has expired or Tenant has vacated the Premises, whichever shall last occur, and provided Tenant is not then in default on any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, or, if Tenant has assigned its interest under this Lease, to the last assignee of Tenant. If Landlord sells its interest in the Premises, Landlord may deliver this deposit to the purchaser of Landlord’s interest and thereupon be relieved of any further liability or obligation with respect to the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights it may have with respect to a security deposit under California Civil Code Section 1950.7(c), or any similar, related or successor provision of law.

NOTE: Security Deposit shall not be applied toward the last month’s rent. In no event shall the Security Deposit on hand be less than an amount equal to the then last month’s rent.

8. TENANT’S USE OF THE PREMISES

Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Tenant’s Use Clause. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of law or any covenant, condition, or restriction affecting the Building or Project or the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or Project, and shall, upon notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or the certificate of occupancy. Tenant, at Tenant’s own expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and/or any directions of any governmental agencies or authorities having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or its use or occupation. A judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant that Tenant has violated any such laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and/or directions in the use of the Premises shall be deemed to be a conclusive determination of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any fire, extended coverage or other insurance policy covering the Building or Project and/or property located therein, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations, requirements and recommendations of the Insurance Services Office or any other organization performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.

9. SERVICES AND UTILITIES

If a separate meter is not installed, the excess cost for such water and electric current shall be established by an estimate made by a utility company or electrical engineer hired by Landlord at Tenant’s expense.

Nothing contained in this Article shall restrict Landlord’s right to require at any time separate metering of utilities furnished to the Premises. In the event utilities are separately metered, Tenant shall pay promptly upon demand for all utilities consumed at utility rates charged by the local public utility plus any additional expense incurred by Landlord in keeping account of the utilities so consumed.

Landlord may require, at Landlord’s sole option, that Tenant provide to Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to at least one and one-half (1 ¹/2) times the total estimated cost of any additions, alterations or improvements to be made in or to the Premises, to protect Landlord against any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and to insure timely completion of the work. Nothing contained in this Section 12c shall relieve Tenant of its obligation under Section 12b to keep the Premises, Building and Project free of all liens.

d. Unless their removal is required by Landlord as provided in Section 12a, all additions, alterations and improvements made to the Premises shall become the property of Landlord and be surrendered with the Premises upon the expiration of the Term; provided, however, Tenant’s equipment, machinery and trade fixtures which can be removed without damage to the Premises shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed, subject to the provisions of Section 13b.

13. LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS; TENANT’S PROPERTY

a. All fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to or built into the Premises at the commencement of or during the Term, whether or not by or at the expense of Tenant (“Leasehold Improvements”), shall be and remain a part of the Premises, shall be the property of Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant, except as expressly provided in Section 13b.

b. All movable partitions, business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, communications equipment and office equipment located in the Premises and acquired by or for the account of Tenant, without expense to Landlord, which can be removed without structural damage to the Building, and all furniture, furnishings and other articles of movable personal property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises (collectively “Tenant’s Property”) shall be and shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term; provided that if any of Tenant’s Property is removed, Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises or to the Building resulting from such removal.

14. RULES AND REGULATIONS

Tenant agrees to comply with (and cause its agents, contractors, employees and invitees to comply with) the rules and regulations attached hereto as Addendum B and with such reasonable modifications thereof and additions thereto as Landlord may from time to time make. Landlord shall not be responsible for any violation of said rules and regulations by other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project.

15. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD

Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without liability to Tenant for (a) damage or injury to property, person or business, (b) causing an actual or constructive eviction from the Premises, or (c) disturbing Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises:

a. To name the Building and Project and to change the name or street address of the Building or Project;

b. To install and maintain all signs on the exterior and interior of the Building and Project;

c. To have pass keys to the Premises and all doors within the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes:

d. At any time during the Term, and on reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to inspect the Premises, and to show the Premises to any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Project, or to any assignee of any mortgage on the Project, or to others having an interest in the Project or Landlord, and during the last six months of the Term, to show the Premises to prospective tenants thereof; and

e. To enter the Premises, for the purpose of making inspections, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises of the Building (including, without limitation, checking, calibrating, adjusting or balancing controls and other parts of the HVAC system), and to take all steps as may be necessary or desirable for the safety, protection, maintenance or preservation of the Premises or the Building or Landlord’s interest therein, or as may be necessary or desirable for the operation or improvement of the Building or in order to comply with laws, orders or requirements of governmental or other authority. Landlord agrees to use its best efforts (except in an emergency) to minimize interference with Tenant’s business in the Premises in the course of any such entry.

16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

No assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises shall be permitted, except as provided in this Article 16.

a. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any party other than Tenant. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assignable by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord.

 

		8

---

b. If at any time or from time to time during the Term Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord setting forth the terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease, and the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with such information concerning the business background and financial condition of such proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by notice given to Tenant within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s notice is given, either to sublet such space from Tenant at the rental and on the other terms set forth in this Lease for the term set forth in Tenant’s notice, or, in the case of an assignment, to terminate this Lease. If Landlord does not exercise such option, Tenant may assign the Lease or sublet such space to such proposed assignee or subtenant on the following further conditions:

(1) Landlord shall have the right to approve such proposed assignee or subtenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(2) The assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms set forth in the notice given to Landlord;

(3) No assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or sublessee shall take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been delivered to Landlord;

(4) No assignee or sublessee shall have a further right to assign or sublet except on the terms herein contained; and

(5) Any sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such assignment or subletting, however denominated under the assignment or sublease, which exceed, in the aggregate, (i) the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased), plus (ii) any real estate brokerage commissions or fees payable in connection with such assignment or subletting, shall be paid to Landlord as additional rent under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.

c. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs a and b above, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without Landlord’s consent and without extending any recapture or termination option to Landlord, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant’s business as a going concern, provided that (i) the assignee or sublessee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (ii) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease, and (iii) the use of the Premises under Article 8 remains unchanged.

d. No subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by an assignee or subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of the Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

e. If Tenant assigns the Lease or sublets the Premises or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting or if Tenant requests the consent of Landlord for any act that Tenant proposes to do then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord an administrative fee of One Hundred Fifty and No/100ths Dollars ($150.00) plus any attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with such act or request.

17. HOLDING OVER

If after expiration of the Term, Tenant remains in possession of the Premises with Landlord’s permission (express or implied). Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month only, upon all the provisions of this Lease (except as to term and Base Rent), but the “Monthly Installments of Base Rent” payable by Tenant shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Installments of Base Rent payable by Tenant at the expiration of the Term. Such monthly rent shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of each month. If either party desires to terminate such month to month tenancy, it shall give the other party not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice of the date of termination.

18. SURRENDER OF PREMISES

a. Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date, in broom-clean condition and in as good condition as when Tenant took possession, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear, (ii) loss by fire or other casualty, and (iii) loss by condemnation. Tenant shall, on Landlord’s request, remove Tenant’s Property on or before the Expiration Date and promptly repair all damage to the Premises or Building caused by such removal.

b. If Tenant abandons or surrenders the Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any of Tenant’s Property left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, and, at Landlord’s option, title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale. If Landlord elects to remove all or any part of such Tenant’s Property, the cost of removal, including repairing any damage to the Premises or Building caused by such removal, shall be paid by Tenant. On the Expiration Date Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises.

19. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE

a. If the Premises or the portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy is damaged by fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements or other casualty, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Article, promptly repair the damage, if such repairs can, in Landlord’s opinion, be completed within ninety (90) days. If Landlord determines that repairs can be completed within ninety (90) days, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, the Base Rent shall be abated to the extent Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of damage and continuing until completion of the repairs required of Landlord under Section 19d.

b. If in Landlord’s opinion, such repairs to the Premises or portion of the Building necessary for Tenant’s occupancy cannot be completed within ninety (90) days, Landlord may elect upon notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the Base Rent shall be partially abated as provided in Section 19a. If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.

c. If any other portion of the Building or Project is totally destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord’s opinion repair thereof cannot be completed within ninety (90) days, Landlord may elect upon notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the Base Rent shall be partially abated as provided in Section 19a. If Landlord does not elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.

d. If the Premises are to be repaired under this Article, Landlord shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building and Building Standard Work in the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold improvements and Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of business, inconvenience or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises, Building or Project as a result of any damage from fire or other casualty.

e. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises, Building or Project by fire or other casualty, and any present or future law which purports to govern the rights of Landlord and Tenant in such circumstances in the absence of express agreement, shall have no application.

20. EMINENT DOMAIN

a. If the whole of the Building or 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 date of such taking, and Rent shall be prorated to such date. If less than the whole of the Building or Premises is so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, provided that (i) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking if twenty percent (20%) 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 (ii) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after either such notice. The Rent shall be prorated to the date of 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 Project.

b. 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, 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 personal property.

 

		10

---

c. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which 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, but only to the extent of Building Standard Work. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold Improvements and Tenant’s Property.

21. INDEMNIFICATION

a. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against and from liability and claims of any kind for loss or damage to property of Tenant or any other person, or for any injury to or death of any person, arising out of: (1) Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, or any work, activity or other things allowed or suffered by Tenant to be done in, on or about the Premises; (2) any breach or default by Tenant of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; or (3) any negligent or otherwise tortious act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors. Tenant shall at Tenant’s expense, and by counsel satisfactory to Landlord, defend Landlord in any action or proceeding arising from any such claim and shall indemnify Landlord against all costs, attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and any other expenses incurred in such action or proceeding. As a material part of the consideration for Landlord’s execution of this Lease, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage or injury to any person or property in, on or about the Premises from any cause.

b. Landlord shall not be liable for injury or damage which may be sustained by the person or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees or customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, caused by or resulting from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, whether such damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building or Project or from other sources. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or omission of any other tenant of the Building or Project.

22. TENANT’S INSURANCE

a. All insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall be issued by responsible insurance companies acceptable to Landlord and Landlord’s lender and qualified to do business in the State. Each policy shall name Landlord, and at Landlord’s request any mortgagee of Landlord or other entities (i.e. management companies), as an additional insured, as their respective interests may appear. Each policy shall contain (i) a cross-liability endorsement, (ii) a provision that such policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall be primary and non-contributing with respect to any policies carried by Landlord and that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be excess insurance, and (iii) a waiver by the insurer of any right of subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees and representatives, which arises or might arise by reason of any payment under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees or representatives. A copy of each paid up policy (authenticated by the insurer) or certificate of the insurer evidencing the existence and amount of each insurance policy required hereunder shall be delivered to Landlord before the date Tenant is first given the right of possession of the Premises, and thereafter within thirty (30) days after any demand by Landlord therefor. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder. No such policy shall be cancelable except after twenty (20) days written notice to Landlord and Landlord’s lender. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” of any such policy at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration thereof. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge the Tenant the premiums together with a twenty-five percent (25%) handling charge, payable upon demand. Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by the Tenant, provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises, Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagee and Tenant as required by this Lease.

b. Beginning on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any purpose and continuing until expiration of the Term, Tenant shall procure, pay for and maintain in effect policies of casualty insurance covering (i) all Leasehold improvements (including any alterations, additions or improvements as may be made by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Article 12 hereof), and (ii) trade fixtures, merchandise and other personal property from time to time in, on or about the Premises, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their actual replacement cost from time to time, providing protection against any peril included with the classification “Fire and Extended Coverage” together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief. 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 (i) shall be paid to Landlord, and the proceeds under (ii) above shall be paid to Tenant.

c. Beginning on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any purpose and continuing until expiration of the Term, Tenant shall procure, pay for and maintain in effect workers’ compensation insurance as required by law and comprehensive public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the construction of improvements on the Premises, the use, operation or condition of

 

		11

---

the Premises and the operations of Tenant in, on or about the Premises, providing personal injury and broad form property damage coverage for not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit for bodily injury, death and property damage liability.

d. Not less than every three (3) years during the Term, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree to increases in all of Tenant’s insurance policy limits for all insurance to be carried by Tenant as set forth in this Article. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon the amounts of said increases, then Tenant agrees that all insurance policy limits as set forth in this Article shall be adjusted for increases in the cost of living.

23. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all rights of recovery against the other and against the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the other, on account of loss by or damage to the waiving party of its property or the property of others under its control, to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any fire and extended coverage insurance policy which either may have in force at the time of the loss or damage. Tenant shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required under this Lease, give notice to its insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.

24. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

This Lease and Tenant’s interests and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage, now existing or hereafter created, on or against the Project, the Building or the Premises by Landlord, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancings, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments and other documents confirming such subordination as shall be requested by any such holder and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such instruments and other documents for and on behalf of Tenant. In the event of the enforcement by any mortgagee or holder of any security agreement (“Successor Landlord”) of the remedies provided for by law, mortgage, or security agreement, Tenant will automatically become the tenant of such Successor Landlord without any change in the terms or other provisions of the Lease; provided, however, that such Successor Landlord or successor in interest shall not be bound by (a) any payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent for more than one (1) month in advance except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, (b) any amendment or modification of this Lease, or any waiver of the terms of this Lease, made without the written consent of such Successor Landlord, (c) any offset right that Tenant may have against any former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment, including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by a former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment; (d) any obligation (i) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any former Landlord owed to Tenant unless such sums, If any, shall have actually been delivered to Successor Landlord by way of an assumption of escrow accounts or otherwise; (ii) with respect to any security deposited with a former Landlord, unless such security was actually delivered to such Successor Landlord; (iii) to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements in the Premises or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing improvements thereon; (iv) to reconstruct or repair improvements following a fire, casualty or condemnation; or (v) arising from representations and warranties related to a former Landlord; or (e) any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or termination of this Lease. In whole or in part, agreed upon between former Landlord and Tenant, unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of this Lease or consented to in writing by Successor Landlord. Upon request by such Successor Landlord, whether before or after the enforcement of its remedies, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming and evidencing the attornment herein set forth, and Tenant hereby Irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing, acknowledging and delivering any such Instruments and certificates. This Lease is further subject to and subordinate to all matters of record. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by written notice to Tenant and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording, and in that event, such holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such mortgage and had been assigned to such holder. The term “mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, mortgages, security deeds, security assignments and any other instrument which creates a lien. Any reference to the “holder” of such mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust.

25. TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord, or Landlord’s designee, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, Landlord’s designee or the holder of any mortgage, a written statement certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications; (b) the amount of Base Rent and the date to which Base Rent and additional rent have been paid in advance; (c) the amount of any security deposited with Landlord; (d) that Landlord is not in default hereunder or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating the nature of any claimed default; and (e) such other

 

		12

---

matters relating to this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or the holder of a mortgage. Any such statement may be relied upon by a purchaser, assignee, lender, the holder of a mortgage and its successors and/or assigns. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such statement within the time required shall at Landlord’s election be a default under this Lease and shall also be conclusive upon Tenant that: (1) this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as represented by Landlord; (2) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance and that Tenant has no right of offset, counter-claim or deduction against Rent; and (3) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance.

26. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST

In the event of any sale or transfer by Landlord of the Premises, Building or Project, and assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of any and all liability and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to the Premises, Building, Project or Lease occurring after the consummation of such sale or transfer, providing the purchaser shall expressly assume all of the covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease. If any security deposit or prepaid Rent has been paid by Tenant, Landlord may transfer the security deposit or prepaid Rent to Landlord’s successor and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be relieved of any and all further liability with respect thereto.

27. DEFAULT

27.1. Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

a. If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises accompanied by non-payment of Rent; or

b. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or any other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease and such failure continues for five (5) days after such payment is due and payable; or

c. If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or

d. If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease or on any of Tenant’s Property; or

e. If Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or provides for an arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors; or

f. If Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief or if a petition against Tenant in a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws is filed and not withdrawn or dismissed within forty-five (45) days thereafter, or if under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding up of corporations, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction, custody or control of Tenant or any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control remains in force unrelinquished, unstayed unterminated for a period of forty-five (45) days; or

g. If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a party, a trustee, receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take charge of the Premises or Tenant’s Property (or has the authority to do so) for the purpose of enforcing a lien against the Premises or Tenant’s Property; or

h. If Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one (1) person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is involved in any of the acts or events described in subparagraphs d through g above.

27.2. Remedies. In the event of Tenant’s default hereunder, then in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under any law, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, without further notice or demand of any kind to do the following:

a. Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease; or

b. Continue this Lease in effect, reenter and occupy the Premises for the account of Tenant, and collect any unpaid Rent or other charges which have or thereafter become due and payable; or

c. Reenter the Premises under the provisions of subparagraph b, and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.

 

		13

---

If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of subparagraphs b or c above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the obligation of Tenant to pay any Rent or other charges thereafter occurring, unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease. In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part of Tenant’s Property in the Premises and to place such property in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations or repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of rent received from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than the amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations and repairs to the Premises, which are not covered by the rent received from the reletting.

Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease under the provisions of subparagraph a or c above, Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the following:

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

2. Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

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 be reasonably avoided; plus

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 which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b) maintaining the Premises after Tenant’s default, (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including broker’s commissions.

“The worth at the time of the award” as used in subparagraphs 1 and 2, is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. “The worth at the time of the award” as used in subparagraph 3 above, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord subsequent to any breach hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach other than the failure to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of any breach at the time of such acceptance of Rent. Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any term, covenant or condition unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such waiver.

j. Execution of Lease; No Option. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall be for examination purposes only, and does not and shall not constitute a reservation of or option for Tenant to lease, or otherwise create any interest of Tenant in the Premises or any other premises within the Building or project.

k. Furnishing of Financial Statements; Tenant’s Representation.

l. Further Assurances. The parties agree to promptly sign all documents reasonably requested to give effect to the provisions of this Lease.

m. Mortgage Protection. Tenant agrees to send by certified or registered mail to any holder of a mortgage whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant on Landlord.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the holder of the mortgage shall have no obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that such holder agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing.

p. Severability. A final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease is invalid shall not affect the validity of any other provision, and any provision so determined to be invalid shall, to the extent possible, be construed to accomplish its intended effect.

q. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall apply to and bind the heirs, personal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns of the parties.

r. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

t. Terminology. For purposes of this Lease the term “Landlord” shall be interchangeable with “Lessor” and the term “Tenant” shall be interchangeable with “Lessee”.

The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default; it shall constitute only a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved.

No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only a written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of the Lease.

Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of the Lease.
