(if commencing on or after March 1, 2002) shall be increased by four percent (4%) on March 1, 2003 and each March 1st thereafter until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

 

13.          Option to Extend Term:  The following paragraphs are hereby added to the Lease as Paragraphs 52.1 through 52.4.

 

13.1        So long as Tenant (or a permitted assignee or sublessee) is the Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall have one option to extend the term of this Lease with respect to the entirety of the Premises then subject to the Lease for a period of three (3) years from the Lease Term Expiration Date (the “Extension Period”), subject to the following conditions:

 

(a)           The option to extend shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice of exercise given to Landlord by Tenant not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the Term Expiration Date;

 

(b)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant is in default under any of the material terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease, either at the time Tenant exercises either extension option or on the commencement date of the Extension Period then Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate such option to extend upon notice to Tenant.

 

13.2        In the event the applicable option is exercised in a timely fashion, the Lease shall be extended for the term of the applicable extension period upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided that the Base Rent for the Extension Period shall be the “Fair Market Rent” for the Premises, determined as set forth below, with annual increases as determined as part of the process set forth below.

 

13.3        Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of exercise, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Base Rent for the first year of the applicable extension period, and Landlord’s estimate of annual increases, if any.  For purposes hereof, “Fair Market Rent” shall mean collectively, (1) Base Rent for the first year of the Extension Period and (2) the annual increases determined at the time Base Rent for the first year is determined.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, Tenant shall have the right either to (i) accept Landlord’s estimate of Fair Market Rent or (ii) elect to arbitrate Landlord’s estimate of Fair Market Rent, such arbitration to be conducted pursuant to the provisions hereof.  Failure on the part of Tenant to require arbitration of Fair Market Rent within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute acceptance of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period as calculated by Landlord.  If Tenant elects arbitration, the arbitration shall be concluded within ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant’s election, subject to extension for an additional thirty (30) day period if a third arbitrator is required and does not act in a timely manner.  To the extent that arbitration has not been completed prior to the expiration of any preceding period for which Base Rent has been determined, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at the rate calculated by Landlord, with the potential for an adjustment to be made once Fair Market Rent is ultimately determined by arbitration.

 

13.4        In the event of arbitration, the judgment or the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and shall be final and binding

 

7



 

between the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the County of Santa Clara in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes except to the extent that the procedures mandated by such rules shall be modified as follows:

 

(a)           Tenant shall make demand for arbitration in writing within thirty (30) days after service of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent given under Section 13.3 above, specifying therein the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on its behalf. The arbitrator shall be qualified as a real estate appraiser familiar with the Fair Market Rent of similar office space in the Silicon Valley area who would qualify as an expert witness over objection to give opinion testimony addressed to the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction. Failure on the part of Tenant to make a proper demand in a timely manner for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto. Within fifteen (15) days after the service of the demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant, specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator, within or by the time above specified, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the issue.

 

(b)           In the event that two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Section 13.4(a) above, the arbitrators so chosen shall, within fifteen (15) days after the second arbitrator is appointed determine the Fair Market Rent.  If the two arbitrators shall be unable to agree upon a determination of Fair Market Rent within such fifteen (15) day period, they, themselves, shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Section 13.4(a). In the event they are unable to agree upon such appointment within seven (7) days after expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves, if they can agree thereon, within a further period of fifteen (15) days. If the parties do not so agree, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then Chief Judge of the United States District Court having jurisdiction over the County of Santa Clara, acting in his private and not in his official capacity, and the other party shall not raise any question as to such Judge’s full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application for and make the appointment. The three arbitrators shall decide the dispute if it has not previously been resolved by following the procedure set forth below.

 

(c)           Where an issue cannot be resolved by agreement between the two arbitrators selected by Landlord and Tenant or settlement between the parties during the course of arbitration, the issue shall be resolved by the three arbitrators within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedure.  The arbitrator selected by each of the parties shall state in writing his determination of the Fair Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor with counterpart copies to each party.  The arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of such proposed resolutions. The role of the third arbitrator shall be to select which of the two proposed resolutions most closely approximates his determination of Fair Market Rent. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed resolutions. The resolution he chooses as most closely approximating his determination shall constitute the decision of the arbitrators and be final and binding upon the parties.

 

8



 

(d)           In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his successor shall be appointed by him, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his successor shall be appointed in the same manner as provided for appointment of the third arbitrator.  The arbitrators shall decide the issue within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator.  Any decision in which the arbitrator appointed by Landlord and the arbitrator appointed by Tenant concur shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties.  Each party shall pay the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fee and expenses of the third arbitrator, if any, and the attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the respective parties and of witnesses shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.

 

(e)           The arbitrators shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities to obtain factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Rent, but any such consultation shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross-examine.  The arbitrators shall render their decision and award in writing with counterpart copies to each party.  The arbitrators shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.

 

14.          Tenant Improvements. The following paragraph is hereby added to the Lease as Paragraph 53.

 

14.1        Tenant shall, pursuant to the work letter attached to this Lease as Exhibit B and made a part hereof (the “Work Letter”), perform the work and make the installations in the Premises substantially as set forth in the Work Letter (such work and installations to be performed or made by Tenant hereinafter referred to as the “Improvement Work”). Tenant agrees that in performing the Improvement Work, Tenant shall utilize the improvements and specifications described on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Standard Tenant Improvements”).

Other than maintenance and repair costs included in Operating Expenses, Tenant shall not be charged for use of the parking spaces.”

 

16.          Rental. The following is hereby added to the end of the third sentence of Section 3(d): “provided, however, that once but only once in any twelve (12) month period during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled to written notice of non-receipt of Base Rent from Landlord, and Tenant shall not be liable for any late charge hereunder if such installment of Base Rent is received by Landlord within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of such notice from Landlord.”

 

17.          Alterations. The following is hereby added to the end of Section 14(b) of the Lease: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an alteration or modification to the Premises and includes in such written request a provision in ALL CAPITALS BOLD FACE TYPE for permission to leave such alteration or modification at the expiration of the Term, Landlord’s consent (if given) shall indicate whether the Tenant may leave the proposed alteration or modification in the Premises at the expiration of the Term. Such determination shall be made in Landlord’s sole discretion. Failure of Landlord to provide

 

9



 

such an indication shall be deemed an election of the Landlord to require removal. In the event the Landlord indicates that the alteration or modification may remain in the Premises at the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall not be required to remove such alteration or modification, notwithstanding anything in Section 7 of the Lease to the contrary.”

 

18.          Signage. Section 14(d) of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “So long as Tenant is in occupancy of at least the Original Premises and subject to space availability, Tenant at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to install a business identification sign on the concrete monument sign for the Building in approximate proportion to Tenant’s share of the Building. Any such sign shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent as to design, location and materials.”

After the notice has been given, Landlord shall not be required to provide any further notices to Tenant. Each such notice shall be concurrent with, and not in addition to, any notice required by applicable laws.”

EXHIBIT B

 

WORK LETTER

 

THIS WORK LETTER, dated October 20, 2000, is entered into by and between MARRIOTT PLAZA ASSOCIATES L.P., a California limited partnership (“Landlord”) and COMMERCE ONE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).  On or about the date hereof, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Lease, which amended that certain Office Lease dated August 30, 1999 (as amended, the “Lease”) for the Premises, as defined in the Lease.  This Work Letter sets forth the agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be constructed in the Premises.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Work Letter and the terms of the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall control.  All defined terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease, unless otherwise defined in this Work Letter.

 

1.             Improvement Work.  Tenant shall construct, furnish or install all improvements, equipment or fixtures, that are necessary for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the entirety of the Premises (the “Improvement Work”).  Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of any alterations to the Building required as a result of the Improvement Work.  The Improvement Work shall be in conformity with drawings and specifications submitted to and approved by Landlord and shall be performed in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(a)                                                  Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord for its approval two sets of fully dimensioned scale drawings (suitable for submission with a building permit application) for the Improvement Work (including plans, elevations, critical sections and details) and a specification of Tenant’s utility requirements.  Tenant shall cause all drawings and specifications for the Improvement Work to be prepared by licensed architects and where appropriate, mechanical, electrical and structural engineers.

 

(b)                                                  Within 5 days after receipt of Tenant’s drawings Landlord shall return one set of prints thereof with Landlord’s approval and/or suggested modifications noted thereon.  If Landlord has approved Tenant’s drawings subject to modifications, such modifications shall be deemed to be acceptable to and approved by Tenant unless Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings for further consideration by Landlord.  If Landlord has suggested modifications without approving Tenant’s drawings Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised drawings within seven days for consideration by Landlord.  All revised drawings shall be submitted, with changes highlighted, to Landlord within seven days following Landlord’s return to Tenant of the drawings originally submitted, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove such revised drawings within seven days following receipt of the same.

 

(c)                                                  Tenant shall obtain all building and other permits necessary in connection with the Improvement Work prior to the commencement of such work.  The Improvement Work shall (i) be constructed in compliance with all of the terms

 

16



 

and conditions of the Lease and with all applicable laws and regulations, (ii) not involve changes to structural components of the Building nor involve any floor, roof, or wall penetrations unless approved by Landlord, and (iii) not require any material modifications of the Building’s mechanical or electrical systems unless approved by Landlord.

 

(d)                                                  Prior to commencing construction, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following:

 

1.                                       The address of Tenant’s general contractor, and the names of the primary subcontractors Tenant’s contractor intends to engage for the construction of the Premises.

 

2.                                       The actual commencement date of construction and the estimated date of completion of the work, including fixturization.

 

3.                                       Evidence of insurance as called for hereinbelow.

 

4.                                       An executed copy of the applicable building permit for such work.

 

(e)                                                  After final approval of Tenant’s drawings by Landlord, Tenant shall proceed promptly to commence performance of the Improvement Work.  Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall be acceptable to and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall, at Landlord’s option, be subject to administrative supervision by Landlord in their use of the Building.  Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of the executed contract between Tenant and Tenant’s general contractor covering all of Tenant’s obligations under this Work Letter.  Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such work to be performed in as efficient a manner as is commercially reasonable.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of repairing any damage to the Building caused by Tenant or its contractors during performance of the Improvement Work.  Tenant’s contractors shall conduct their work and employ labor in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations.  Tenant’s general contractor (“Contractor”) shall obtain a builder’s risk policy of insurance in an amount and form and issued by a carrier reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and Tenant’s general contractor and subcontractors shall carry worker’s compensation insurance for their employees as required by law.  The builder’s risk policy of insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured and shall not be cancelable without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Landlord.

 

(f)                                                    Any changes in the Improvement Work from the final drawings approved by Landlord shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Any material deviation in construction from the design specifications and criteria set forth herein or from Tenant’s plans and specifications as approved by Landlord shall constitute a default for which Landlord may, within ten (10) days after giving written notice to Tenant, elect to

 

17



 

exercise the remedies available in the event of default under the provisions of this Lease, unless such default is cured within such ten (10) day period, or, if the cure reasonably requires more than ten (10) days, unless such default is cured as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant.  Only new materials shall be used in the construction of the Improvement Work, except with the written consent of Landlord.

 

(g)                                                 During the construction of the Improvement Work, Tenant shall provide and pay for temporary connections for all utilities brought to the Building.  Trash removal will be done continually at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  No trash, or other debris, or other waste may be deposited at any time outside the Building.  If so, Landlord may remove it at Tenant’s expense, which expense shall equal the cost of removal plus twenty-five percent (25%) of such costs as a management fee.

 

(h)                                                 Storage of Tenant’s contractors’ construction materials, tools and equipment shall be confined within the Building, and in no event shall any materials or debris be stored outside of the Building.

 

(i)                                                    Tenant acknowledges that it has engaged its architects and shall be solely responsible for the actions and omissions of its architects and for any loss, liability, claim, cost, damage or expense suffered by Landlord or any other entity or person as a result of the acts or omissions of its architects or for delays caused by its architects.  Landlord’s approval of any of Tenant’s architects or engineers and of any documents prepared by any of them shall not be for the benefit of Tenant or any third party, and Landlord shall have no duty to Tenant or to any third parties for the actions or omissions of Tenant’s architects or engineers.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities arising from the actions or omissions of Tenant’s architects and engineers.

 

(j)                                                    Landlord shall have the right to post in a conspicuous location on the Building or the Premises, as well as record with the County of Santa Clara, a Notice of Nonresponsibility.

 

(k)                                                Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any work to be performed outside of the Building shall be coordinated with Landlord, and shall be subject to reasonable scheduling requirements of Landlord.

 

(l)                                                    Tenant shall, upon completion of its work, submit to Landlord two (2) complete sets of plans (one (1) reproducible) and specifications covering all of the Improvement Work, including architectural, electrical, and plumbing, as built.

 

2.                                      Payment of Costs of the Improvement Work.

 

(a)                                                  Unless specified otherwise herein, Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Improvement Work (which cost shall include, without limitation, the costs of construction, the cost of permits and permit expediting, and all architectural and

 

18



 

engineering services obtained by Landlord in connection with the Tenant Improvements, the Contractor’s fees, and any Property Maintenance Costs from the date of this Work Letter until the Lease Commencement Date), provided that so long as Tenant in not in default under the Lease, Landlord shall contribute a maximum of $5.00 per square foot (the “Improvement Allowance”).  Landlord shall pay the Improvement Allowance to Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 3 below (which amount shall not exceed $5.00 per square foot for the applicable space under construction).

 

(b)                                                  The Improvement Allowance shall be utilized only for carpeting and painting the Premises, and not for other improvements to the Premises or Building, signage, furniture costs, any third party consulting or contracting fees (except for Tenant’s architect’s fees), any telecom/cabling costs, or any other purpose.  Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Improvement Work (including but not limited to all of the foregoing fees and costs) in excess of the Improvement Allowance, if any.

 

3.             Evidence of Completion of Improvement Work.  Upon the completion of the Improvement Work, Tenant shall submit to Landlord:

 

(a)                                                  A detailed breakdown of Tenant’s final and total construction costs, together with receipted evidence showing payment thereof, satisfactory to Landlord.

 

(b)                                                  All evidence reasonably available from governmental authorities showing compliance with any and all other laws, orders and regulations of any and all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Building, including, without limitation, authorization for physical occupancy of the Building.

 

(c)                                                  The as-built plans and specifications of all Improvement Work.

 

(d)                                                  A Contractor’s certification as follows:

 

“There are no known mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens outstanding at the date of this application for payment, all due and payable bills with respect to the Building have been paid to date or shall be paid from the proceeds of this application for payment, and there is no known basis for the filing of any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens against the Building or the Property, and, to the best of our knowledge, waivers from all subcontractors are valid and constitute an effective waiver of lien under applicable law to the extent of payments that have been made or shall be made concurrently herewith.”

 

(e)                                                  Fully executed unconditional lien releases in the form prescribed by law from the Contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers furnishing labor or materials.

 

19



 

(f)            All documents necessary to effect and perfect the transfer of title to the materials or equipment for which application for payment if made.

 

Within thirty (30) days of receipt from Tenant of the items set forth in this Paragraph 3, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the Improvement Allowance in an amount equal to the actual costs incurred by Tenant to paint and re-carpet the Premises, which amount shall not exceed the Improvement Allowance maximum.

 

4.             Assignment of Rights Against Architect and Contractor. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord on a non-exclusive basis any and all rights Tenant may have against Tenant’s architects and contractors relating to the Improvement Work, without in any way obligating Landlord to pursue or prosecute such rights. Landlord shall have no obligation to advance the Improvement Allowance to the extent it exceeds the total cost of the Improvement Work. In no event shall Landlord have any responsibility for the cost of the Improvement Work in excess of the Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any payments to Contractor’s material suppliers to subcontractors or to determine whether amounts due them from Contractor in connection with the Improvement Work have, in fact, been paid.
