As used in this Paragraph, the term “Condemnation Proceedings” means any actions or proceedings in which any interest in the Premises is taken for any public or quasipublic purpose by any lawful authority through exercise of the power of eminent domain or by purchase or other means in lieu of such exercise.

The phrase “as of the date of the taking:” means the date of taking actual physical possession by the condemning authority or such earlier date as the condemning authority gives notice that it is deemed to have taken possession. Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is taken or any portion of the Premises is taken that substantially interferes with Tenant’s ability to operate or use the Premises for the purposes for which the Premises were intended. Any such termination must be accomplished through written notice given no later than thirty (30) days after, and will be effective as of, the date of such taking. In all other cases, or if neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its right to terminate, this Lease will remain in effect, and Tenant will promptly repair and restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the nature and character that existed immediately prior to such taking. If a portion of the Premises is taken and this Lease is not terminated, the Basic monthly Rent will be reduced in the proportion that the Building floor area taken bears to the total floor area of the Building leased by Tenant immediately prior to the taking. Whether or not this Lease is terminated as a consequence of Condemnation Proceedings, all damages or compensation awarded for a partial or total taking, including any award for severance damage and any sums compensating for diminution in the value of or deprivation of the leasehold estate under this Lease, will be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord; provided, however, that if (but only it) (a) this Lease is not terminated as a consequence of Condemnation Proceedings, and (b) Landlord receives an award in such Condemnation Proceedings expressly designated for the repair and restoration of the Premises, Landlord will make available to Tenant all or a portion of the award so designated, as necessary, for Tenant to complete its obligations of repair and restoration under this Paragraph. If made, the disbursement of such portion of the award will be made by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with disbursement procedures typically used by construction lenders in the metropolitan area in which the Premises are located. Other than as expressly set forth in the immediately preceding two sentences, Tenant will be absolutely responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to repair and restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the nature and character that existed prior to such taking if this Lease is not terminated pursuant to this Paragraph. Tenant will have no claim against Landlord for the occurrence of any Condemnation Proceedings, or for the termination of this Lease or a reduction in the Premises as a result of any Condemnation Proceedings

14. Landlord’s Financing. This Lease will be subordinate to any existing or future first mortgage, first deed of trust, ground lease and declaration of covenants, conditions, easements and restrictions encumbering the Premises, and all renewals, modifications, amendments, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such instruments. No documentation other than this Lease will be required to evidence such subordination. [f the holder of any mortgage or deed of mist elects to have this Lease superior to the lien of its mortgage or deed of trust and gives written notice of such election to Tenant, this Lease will be deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant will execute such documents as may be required by Landlord to confirm such subordination or priority within ten (l0) days after request. Tenant will from time to time if so requested by Landlord and if doing so will not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s economic interests under this Lease, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the needs or requirements of any lender that is considering making or that has made a loan secured by all or any portion of the Premises. Any sale, assignment or transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Premises, including any such disposition resulting from Landlord’s default under a debt obligation, will be subject to this Lease and Tenant will attorn to Landlord’s successors and assigns and will recognize such successors or assigns as Landlord under this Lease. regardless of any law of law to the contrary or absence of privity of contract.

15. Default.

15.1. Default bv Tenant. The occurrence of any of the following events will constitute a d fault by Tenant under this Lease: (a) Tenant fails to pay in a timely manner any installment of Basic monthly Rent or any other sum clue under this Lease within three (3) business clays after written notice is given to Tenant that the same is past due; (b) Tenant fails to observe or perform in a timely manner any other term, covenant or condition to be observed or performed by Tenant under this Lease within ten ( l 0) business days after written notice is given to Tenant of such failure; provided, however, that if more than ten (10) business days is reasonably required to cure such failure, Tenant will not be in default if Tenant commences such cure within such ten (l 0) day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; (c) Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, has taken against Tenant in any court, pursuant to state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or appointment of a receiver or trustee, petitions for or enters into an arrangement for the benefit of creditors or suffers this Lease to become subject to a writ of execution; or (d) Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises.

15.2. Remedies. On any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may at any time, without waiving or limiting any other right or remedy available to Landlord, (a) perform in Tenant’s stead any obligation that Ten::int has failed to perform, and Landlord will be reimbursed promptly for any cost incurred by Landlord with interest from the date of such expenditure until paid in full at the greater of the prime rate then charged by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (or any other bank designated by Landlord), plus four percent (4%), or eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), (b) terminate Tenant’s rights under this Lease by written notice, (c) reenter and take possession of the Premises by any lawful means (with or without terminating this Lease), or (d) pursue any other remedy allowed by law. Tenant will pay to Landlord the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, all costs of reletting, including reasonable renovation, remodeling and alteration of the Premises, the amount of any commissions paid by Landlord in connection with such reletting, and all other costs and damages arising out of Tenant’s default, including attorneys’ fees and costs. Notwithstanding any termination or reentry, the liability of Tenant for the rent payable under this Lease will not be extinguished for the balance of the Term, and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord on demand for any deficiency, whether arising from (v) reletting the Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease, (w) reletting the Premises for a term shorter than the remaining Term, (x) reletting less than all of the Premises, (y) any default in the payment of rent by any person to whom Landlord relets the Premises, or (z) any other cause whatsoever.

15.3. Past Due Amounts: Obligations Independent. If Tenant fails to pay when due any amount required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, such unpaid amount will bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date of such amount to the date of payment in full, with interest. In addition, Landlord may also charge a sum of five percent (5%) of such unpaid amount as a service fee. This late payment charge is intended to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s additional administrative costs resulting from Tenant’s failure to perform in a timely manner Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and has been agreed on by Landlord and Tenant after negotiation as a reasonable estimate of the additional administrative costs which will be incurred by Landlord as a result of such failure. The actual cost in each instance is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to determine. This late payment charge will constitute liquidated damages and will be paid to Landlord together with such unpaid amount. The payment of this late payment charge will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant under this Lease. All amounts due: under this Lease are and will be deemed to be rent or additional rent, and will be paid without abatement, deduction, offset, prior notice or demand (unless expressly provided by the terms of this Lease). Landlord will have the same remedies for a default in the payment of any amount due under this Lease as Landlord has for a default in the payment of Basic Monthly Rent. The obligations of Tenant to pay Basic Monthly Rent and all other amounts due under this Lease, and to perform all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, are severable from and independent of any obligation of Landlord under this lease.

14.4. Default bv Landlord. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform an obligation required of Landlord under this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying the respects in which Landlord has failed to perform such obligation, and such holder fails to perform such obligation with.in a second thirty (30) day period commencing on the expiration of such first thirty (30) day period.
