2. PREMISES.

 

  (a) Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the premises referenced in Paragraph 1 and outlined in Exhibit A (the “Premises”), located in the building (the “Building”) which is part of the project described on Exhibit B (the “Project”). Landlord reserves the right to modify Tenant’s percentage of the Project as set forth in Paragraph 1 if the Project size is increased through the development of additional property or decreased through the sale or other transfer of a portion of the Project. By entry on the Premises, Tenant acknowledges that it has examined the Premises and accepts the Premises in their present condition, subject to any additional work Landlord has agreed to perform pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

 

  (b) The parties agree that the letting and hiring of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.

 

  (c) The term “Rentable Square Feet” as used in this Lease shall include a portion of the total square feet contained in any lobby or building common areas of the Building, such portion to approximate Tenant’s Percentage (as shown in Subparagraph 1(h)) of said total square feet. Such portion shall be determined by Landlord by measuring the area within the bounds of the inside surface of the glass in the outer wall of the Building and the surface facing the Premises of all partitions separating the Premises from the building core, adjoining tenant space and public corridors and other “Common Areas” as defined in this Lease. No deductions shall be made for space occupied by structural or functional columns or other projections. For purposes of establishing the initial Tenant’s Percentage, Annual Expense Allowance and Annual Basic Rent as shown in Paragraph 1 of this Lease, the number of Rentable Square Feet of the Premises is deemed to be as set forth in Subparagraph 1(f) and the number of Rentable Square Feet of the Project is deemed to be set forth in Subparagraph 1(g). Tenant shall confirm the accuracy of the premises square footage prior to execution of this lease. Tenant waives any claim against Landlord regarding the accuracy of any square footage measurement and agrees that there shall not be any adjustment in basic rent or expense reimbursements or other amounts payable hereunder by reason of inaccuracies in such measurement.

 

  (d) Landlord reserves the right from time to time without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises to do and perform such acts and make such changes in, to or with respect to the common areas within the Project which are intended for the non-exclusive use of the tenants of the Project (“Common Areas”), the Building or the Project as Landlord may, in the exercise of sound business judgment, deem to be appropriate.

 

3. LEASE TERM AND LEASE RENEWAL OPTION.

 

The term of this Lease shall be for the period designated in Subparagraph 1(i) commencing on the Commencement Date, and ending on the Expiration Date as set forth in said Subparagraph 1(i), unless the term hereby demised shall be sooner terminated as herein provided (“Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then the Term of this Lease shall be measured from the first day of the month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.

 

Lease Renewal Option. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of the Lease, or would be in default but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, and Tenant has not paid Landlord the monthly rent late more than once during the original term, Landlord hereby grants one (1) option (“Extension Option”) to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of three (3) years (“Option Period”) upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein below. If Tenant desires to exercise its Extension Option granted herein, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of such election (“Extension Notice”) not later that ninety (90) days nor earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Lease.

 

Proper Exercise. Despite a timely exercise by Tenant, Tenant’s Extension Option shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if at the end of the initial Term of the Lease Tenant is in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease. Provided Tenant Properly exercises the Extension Option, the Term of the Lease shall be extended for the Option Period and all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect during the Option Period, except that the Annual Basic Rents shall be modified as set forth below.

 

Option Rent. The Annual Basic Rent payable during the Option Period shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises, as determined herein. The fair market rental value of the Premises shall be determined by landlord based on prevailing market rentals being paid for similar space in the projects comparable to the Project in the Fremont area. Landlord shall use its best efforts to provide Tenant with written notice of its determination of the fair market rental value of the Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice. Tenant shall have a fifteen (15) day (“Tenant Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the new Annual Basic Rent within which to accept such new Annual Basic Rent or to reasonably object thereto in writing. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord within Tenant’s Review Period, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have approved of the new Annual Basic Rent determined by Landlord. In the event Tenant objects to the fair market value submitted by Landlord, landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the fair market rental value for the Premises, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on the fair market value of the Premises within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then the fair market rental value for the Premises shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the next paragraph below.

 

Arbitration. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within fifteen (15) days of the Outside Agreement Date, appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraisal of commercial properties in the Fremont area. The two arbitrators so appointed shall, within fifteen (15) days of the date of appointment of the last appointed arbitrator, agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualifications of the initial two arbitrators. The determination of the three arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted fair market rental value for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market value for the Premises as determined by the arbitrators based on the paragraph above. Once the three arbitrators have been selected, Landlord and Tenant shall, each submit to the arbitrators their respective determinations of the fair market rental value of the Premises. The three arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) days of the submittal of Landlord’s and Tenant’s determinations of the fair market value of the Premises, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted fair market rental value as the Annual Basic Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of their decision. Such decision shall be based upon the projected prevailing fair market rental value for similar space in projects similar to the Project in the Fremont area. The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within the time period set forth above, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision in accordance with the above paragraph, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon

 

2


Landlord and Tenant. If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter shall be decided by submitting the arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association. All cost of arbitration shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators shall not be affiliated with either party.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Arbitration, in no event shall the Annual Basic Rent determined starting November 1, 2006 exceed $.80 per square foot with an annual adjustment upward of 4%.

 

4. POSSESSION.

 

  (a) Delivery of Possession. Landlord agrees to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon the final execution of this lease agreement by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant until Landlord has received from Tenant all of the following: (i) Security Deposit; (ii) executed copies of policies of insurance or certificates thereof as required under Paragraph 18 of this Lease; (iii) copies of all governmental permits and authorizations required in connection with Tenant’s operation of its business upon the Premises; and (iv) an executed original of the Hazardous Materials Questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

 

  (b) Late Delivery. Tenant agrees that if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or prior to the Commencement Date specified in Subparagraph 1(i), this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting there from, nor shall the Expiration Date of the Term be in any way extended, unless such late delivery shall be due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, in which event, as Tenant’s sole remedy, the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the Term shall be extended one (1) day for each day Landlord delays in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant due solely to Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

  (c) Condition of Premises. Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the Premises and the Building in their condition on the date of delivery of possession. Tenant acknowledges that it has conducted its own investigation of the Premises and the Building and that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the Building, the Project or any portions thereof or with respect to the suitability of same for the conduct of Tenant’s business.

 

5. RENT.

 

  (a) Basic Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as Annual Basic Rent for the Premises the Annual Basic Rent designated in Subparagraph 1(k) (adjusted as hereinafter provided) in twelve (12) equal monthly installments as designated in Subparagraph 1(j), each in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term, except that one month’s rent shall be paid upon the execution of this Lease. If the Term of this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the rent for such periods shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such periods bears to thirty days (30), and such rent shall be paid at the commencement of such period. In addition to the Annual Basic Rent, Tenant agrees to pay additional rent as provided in Paragraph 6 and the amount of all rental adjustments as and when hereinafter provided in this Lease. The Annual Basic Rent, any additional rent payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and any rental adjustments shall be paid to Landlord, without any prior demand therefor, and without any deduction or offset whatsoever in lawful money of the United States of America, which shall be legal tender at the time of payment, at the address of Landlord designated in Subparagraph 1(c) or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Further, all charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, payments for real property taxes, insurance, repairs, and parking, if any, shall be considered additional rent for the purposes of this Lease, and the word “rent” in this Lease shall include such additional rent unless the context specifically or clearly implies that only the Annual Basic Rent is referenced. Annual Basic Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Subparagraph 1(l). Notwithstanding the above Landlord shall abate and provide free of charge all base rent and expense reimbursements required under this lease for the first six (6) months of the lease term for the purpose of providing tenant with an improvement allowance of $183,409.92.

 

  (b) Late Payments. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord no later than ten (10) calendar days after the rental due date an additional sum equal to 10% of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the then maximum lawful rate permitted to be charged by Landlord. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of $50.00.

 

  (c) Cost of Living Rent Adjustment. If Subparagraph1(l)1 is initialed, Annual Basic Rent, including all prior adjustments, shall be increased (but never decreased) annually effective each anniversary of the Commencement Date of this Lease or each anniversary of the first day of the month immediately following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs if the Commencement Date occurs other than on the first day of a month (“Adjustment Date”), in accordance with the percentage increase, if any, in the Index described in Subparagraph 1(l)1 as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“Bureau”). The Index most recently published prior to the Adjustment Date shall be compared with the Index for the same month of the preceding year and the Annual Basic Rent shall be increased in accordance with the percentage increase, if any, between such Indices. Should the Bureau discontinue the publication of the Index, or publish the same less frequently, or alter the same in some other manner, Landlord, in its discretion, shall adopt a substitute index or procedure which reasonably reflects and monitors consumer prices.

 

  (d) Step Increase. If Subparagraph 1(l)2 is initialed, Annual Basic Rent shall be increased periodically to the amounts and at the times set forth in Subparagraph 1(l)2.

 

6. ADDITIONAL RENT.

 

In addition to Annual Basic Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord additional rent in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 6. The purpose of this Paragraph 6 is to ensure that Tenant bears a share of all Expenses related to the use, maintenance, ownership, repair or replacement of the Project including, without limitation, all assessments which are levied against the Project and/or the Building pursuant to any covenants, conditions and restrictions which may now or hereafter encumber the Project or any portion thereof which includes the Building including any

 

3


and all amendments made from time to time to such covenants, conditions and restrictions (collectively, “CC&Rs”). Accordingly, Tenant shall pay to Landlord additional rent equal to that portion of Tenant’s share of Expenses related to the Project.

 

  (a) Expenses Defined. The term “Expenses” shall mean all costs and expenses of the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement, and insurance of the Project, including without limitation, the following costs:

 

  1. All supplies, materials, labor, equipment, and utilities used in or related to the operation and maintenance of the Project;

 

  2. All maintenance, management, janitorial, legal, accounting and service agreement costs related to the Project, including project management office rental costs and a management administration fee in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Expenses (excluding there from such fee);

 

  3. All maintenance, replacement and repair costs relating to the areas within or around the Project, including, without limitation, air conditioning systems, sidewalks, landscaping, service areas, driveways, parking areas (including resurfacing and restriping parking areas), walkways, building exteriors (including painting), signs and directories, repairing and replacing roofs, walls, etc. These costs may be included either based on actual expenditures or the use of an accounting reserve based on past cost experience for the Project;

 

  4. Amortization (along with reasonable financing charges) of capital improvements made to the Project which may be required by any government authority or which will improve the operating efficiency of the Project (provided, however, that the amount of such amortization for improvements not mandated by government authority shall not exceed in any year the amount of costs reasonably determined by Landlord in its sole discretion to have been saved by the expenditure either through the reduction or minimization of increases which would have otherwise occurred).

 

  (b) Annual Estimate of Expenses. At the commencement of each calendar year, Landlord shall estimate Tenant’s share of Expenses for the coming year based on the Premises Percent of Project set forth in Subparagraph 1(h) or the amended percent of Project pursuant to Paragraph 2(a).

 

  (c) Monthly Payment of Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, its share of said estimate of Expenses in monthly installments of one-twelfth (1/12) of such total amount beginning on the first day of the first month of the Term hereof (or if the Term does not commence on the 1st day of a calendar month, then the installment shall be pro-rated over the partial month), and one-twelfth (1/12) of such total amount on the first day of each succeeding calendar month. As soon as practical following each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare an accounting of actual Expenses incurred during the prior calendar year and such accounting shall reflect Tenant’s share of Expenses. If the additional rent paid by Tenant under this Subparagraph 6(c) during the preceding calendar year was less than the actual amount of Tenant’s share of Expenses, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Such amount shall be deemed to have accrued during the prior calendar year and shall be due and payable from Tenant even though the term of this Lease has expired or this Lease has been terminated prior to Tenant’s receipt of this notice. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to contest the amount due; failure to so notify Landlord shall represent final determination of Tenant’s share of expenses. If Tenant’s payments were greater than the actual amount, then such overpayment shall be credited by Landlord to all present rent due under this Paragraph 5 and 6.

 

7. PREPAID RENT.

 

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Prepaid Rent set forth in Subparagraph 1(n), and if Tenant is not in default of any provisions of this Lease, such Prepaid Rent shall be applied toward the rent due for the 7th month of the Term. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Prepaid Rent are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the Prepaid Rent with Landlord’s general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the Prepaid Rent. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant’s Prepaid Rent; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said Prepaid Rent. If Landlord sells the Premises and deposits with the purchaser the Prepaid Rent, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Prepaid Rent.

 

8. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

 

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit set forth in Subparagraph 1(o) with Landlord, in part as security for the performance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease and in part as a cleaning fee. If Tenant is in default, regardless if such default is monetary or non-monetary, Landlord can use the Security Deposit or any portion of it to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for any damages sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s default. Upon demand, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security Deposit expended or applied by Landlord to maintain the Security Deposit in the amount initially deposited with Landlord. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the entire Security Deposit to Tenant, except for 10% of first month’s rent or $125, whichever is greater, which Landlord shall retain as a non-refundable cleaning fee. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant’s Security Deposit; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said Security Deposit. If Landlord sells the Premises and deposits with the purchaser the then amount of the Security Deposit, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.

 

So long as Tenant is not in default and Landlord has not drawn on the Security Deposit and Tenant has paid all base rents and expenses on time as scheduled without exception during the preceding 24 months the principal amount of the Security Deposit shall be reduced as follows:

 

Beginning with the 24th month of the term $50,000.00 (August 1, 2005)

 

9. USE OF PREMISES AND PROJECT FACILITIES.

 

  (a) Tenant’s Use of the Premises. Tenant shall use the Premises for the use or uses set forth in Subparagraph 1(d) above, and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive right to such use in the Project.

 

4


  (b) Compliance. At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall procure, maintain and hold available for Landlord’s inspection, all governmental licenses and permits required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s business from and at the Premises. Tenant shall maintain the Premises in compliance with any and all CC&Rs and all laws, statutes, zoning restrictions, ordinances or governmental laws, rules, regulations or requirements of any duly constituted public authority having jurisdiction over the Premises now or hereafter in force, the requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters or any other similar body now or hereafter constituted, or of the Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of any of the foregoing. Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any authority having jurisdiction over the Premises, governmental or otherwise, to be a violation of law or of said Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of any insurance authority having jurisdiction over the Project or any present or future insurer relating to the Premises or the Project. Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for any existing insurance policy or endorsement required by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 9. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any manner obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the 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 comply with all restrictive covenants and obligations created by private contracts which affect the use and operation of the Premises, the Common Areas or the Project including, without limitation, the Rules and Regulations referred to in Paragraph 34 and attached hereto as Exhibit F. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises and shall keep the Premises in first class repair and appearance. Further, Tenant’s business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise that may be transmitted to the Building structure or to any other space in the Building shall be so installed, maintained and used by Tenant as to eliminate or minimize such vibration or noise. Tenant shall be responsible for all structural engineering required to determine structural load, as well as the expense thereof.

 

10. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER.

 

Upon expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all Tenant Improvements and alterations in good condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, and items contained in Exhibit “J”, and alterations Tenant has the right or is obligated to remove under the provisions of Paragraph 16 herein. Tenant shall remove all personal property including, without limitation, all wallpaper, paneling and other decorative improvements or fixtures and shall perform all restoration made necessary by the removal of any alterations or Tenant’s personal property before the expiration of the Term, including for example, restoring all wall surfaces to their condition prior to the commencement of this Lease. Landlord can elect to retain or dispose of in any manner Tenant’s personal property not removed from the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or disposition of Tenant’s personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord’s costs for storage, removal or disposal of Tenant’s personal property.

 

If Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or termination of the Term, or after the date in any notice given by Landlord to Tenant terminating this Lease, such possession by Tenant shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on written 30-day notice at any time, by either party. All provisions of this Lease, except those pertaining to term and rent, shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy. Tenant shall pay monthly rent in an amount equal to 125% of Monthly Basic Rent, subject to increases as provided in Subparagraph 5(c), if applicable, for the last full calendar month during the regular Term plus 100% of said last month’s estimate of Tenant’s share of Expenses pursuant to Paragraph 6, subject to increase as provided therein. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises after expiration or termination of the Term, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including, without limitation, any loss or liability resulting from any claim against Landlord made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises and losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to succeeding tenants, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees and costs.

20. CONDEMNATION.

 

  (a) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply: (1) “Condemnation” means (a) the exercise of any governmental power of eminent domain, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise by condemnor and (b) the voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are proceeding; (2) “Date of Taking” means the date the condemnor has the right to possession of the property being condemned; (3) “Award” means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation; and (4) “Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having a power of condemnation.

 

  (b) Obligations to be Governed by Lease. If during the Term of this Lease there is any taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Project, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined pursuant to this Lease.

 

  (c) Total or Partial Taking. If the Premises are totally taken by condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking. If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant can elect to terminate this Lease if the remaining portion of the Premises is rendered unsuitable for Tenant’s continued use of the Premises. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant must exercise its right to terminate by giving notice to Landlord within 30 days after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than 30 days nor later than 90 days after Tenant has notified Landlord of its election to terminate; except that this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking if the date of taking falls on a date before the date of termination as designated by Tenant. If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease remains in full force and effect, on the date of taking the rent shall be reduced by an amount in the same ratio as the total number of rentable square feet in the portion of the Premises taken bears to the total number of rentable square feet in the Premises immediately before the date of taking. In the case where a portion of the Premises is taken and the Lease remains in full force and effect, Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, make all alterations or repairs to the Premises so as to make the portion of the Premises not taken a complete architectural unit. Such work shall not, however, exceed the scope of work done by Landlord in originally constructing the Premises. If any portion of the Building other than the Premises is taken and in Landlord’s reasonable opinion the Building should be restored in a manner that materially alters the Premises, or if severance damages from the condemning authority are not available to Landlord in sufficient amounts to permit such restoration, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. Basic Monthly Rent due and payable hereunder shall be temporarily abated during such restoration period in proportion to the degree to which there is substantial interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord or Landlord’s architect. Each party hereby waives the provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and any present or future law allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Building or Premises.

 

If the Premises are totally or partially taken by condemnation, Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of the award without any deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant.

 

21. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE.

 

Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Premises or sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow any other person or entity (except Tenant’s authorized representatives, employees, invitees, or guests) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s consent which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Landlord shall be deemed reasonable in withholding its consent if it determines in its sole discretion that: (i) the financial net worth of the proposed assignee or sub lessee is not equal to or greater than Tenant’s financial net worth as of the date of this Lease as increased by the increase in the Consumer Price Index, if any, between the date of this Lease and the date of the assignment or sublease; (ii) the intended use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sub lessee is inconsistent, incompatible or competes with other uses in the Project; (iii) the intended use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sub lessee will require more than insignificant alteration of the Premises; (iv) the intended use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sub lessee will constitute a violation of this Lease or any governmental law, rule, ordinance or regulation governing the Premises or would involve the storage, use or keeping of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Exhibit H attached hereto) in, on or about the Premises, the Common Areas or any other portion of the Project. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord’s written consent shall be voidable and at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default. Landlord’s waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee or sub lessee from any obligation under this Lease whether or not accrued.

 

If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law of any partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of

 

8


Tenant, or sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of at least 25% of the value of the assets of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. The phrase “controlling percentage” means ownership of and right to vote stock possessing at least 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for election of directors. The preceding two sentences of this paragraph shall not apply to corporations the stock of which is traded through a public exchange. If Landlord shall consent to any assignment or sublease of this Lease, one-half (50%) of all sums and other consideration payable to or for the benefit of the Tenant from its assignee or subtenant in excess of the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or in the case of a sublease, in excess of the rent fairly allocable to such subleased portion as reasonably determined by Landlord, shall be paid to Landlord, as and when such sums are due and payable. If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting Tenant shall pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, $500.00 or Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such request, whichever is greater.

 

No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary assignment through operation of law (including, without limitation, the transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) If Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt; or if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (b) If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or (c) If in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant.

 

22. DEFAULT.

 

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (a) A failure to pay rent or any other charge within ten (10) day’s of when due; (b) Abandonment of the Premises (failure to occupy and operate the Premises for ten consecutive days shall be deemed an abandonment); (c) The making by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease (“Guarantor”) of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant or any Guarantor of a petition to have Tenant or such Guarantor adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or a Guarantor, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or of substantially all of Guarantor’s assets, where possession is not restored to Tenant or such Guarantor, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days; the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within (30) days; or if this Lease shall, by operation of law or otherwise, pass to any person or persons other than Tenant except as provided in Paragraph 21 herein; (d) The failure of Tenant to timely comply with the provisions of Paragraph 26 or Paragraph 33 of this Lease regarding, respectively, Subordination and Estoppel Certificates; or (e) The failure to perform any other provision of this Lease.

 

23. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.

 

Landlord shall have the remedies described in this Paragraph 23 if Tenant is in default. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.

 

Upon any such default, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. Upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (1) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination of Tenant’s right to possession; (2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after the date of termination of Tenant’s right to possession until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; (4) Any other amount, including court, attorney and collection costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default. “The worth”, as used for Items (1) and (2) in this Paragraph 23 is to be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of 12% or the maximum rate an individual is permitted to charge by law or 12%, whichever is greater. “The worth” as used for Item (3) in this Paragraph 23 is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of termination plus one percent (1%).

 

In the event of any default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant or disposed of in a reasonable manner by Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

24. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.

 

Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform the obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, or the lessor of any underlying or ground lease affecting the Project, in writing specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than forty-five (45) days is required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default; Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to any other remedy available at law or in equity. Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying rent due hereunder as a result of any default by Landlord.

 

25. ENTRY OF PREMISES AND PERFORMANCE BY TENANT.

 

Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the following purposes: (a) To determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) To do any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration to the Premises or the Project that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform under this Lease; (c) To post “for sale” signs at any time during the Term, to post “for rent” or “for lease” signs during the last 90 days of the Term, or during

any period while Tenant is in default; (d) To show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, tenants or persons interested in an exchange, at any time during the Term; (e) To repair, maintain or improve the Project and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the Project; or (f) To discharge Tenant’s obligations hereunder when Tenant has failed to do so in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or other damage arising out of Landlord’s entry onto the Premises as provided in this Paragraph 25. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Paragraph 25. Landlord shall reasonably attempt to conduct his activities on the Premises as provided herein in a manner that will cause the least inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant. For each of these purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes. Tenant shall not alter any lock or install a new or additional lock or bolt on any door of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. If Landlord gives its consent, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a key for any such lock.

 

All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Monthly Basic Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof by Landlord (or such other period as specifically provided herein), Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed in this Lease; provided, however, all sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs together with interest thereon at the lesser of 12% or the maximum rate an individual is permitted to charge by law from the date of such payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand. Tenant covenants to pay any such sums, and Landlord shall have (in addition to all other rights or remedies of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the rent. Further, following each second consecutive late payment of rent, Landlord shall have the option to require that Tenant increase the amount of the Security Deposit required under Paragraph 8 by one hundred percent (100%), which additional Security Deposit shall be retained by Landlord and may be applied by Landlord in the manner provided in Paragraph 8.

 

26. SUBORDINATION.

 

Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and unless otherwise elected by Landlord or any mortgagee or any beneficiary of a Deed of Trust with a lien on the Project or any ground lessor with respect to the Project (or any part thereof), this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (a) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Project, or the land upon which the Project is situated, or both, and (b) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which the Project, ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of said items is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated this Lease to any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or Deed of Trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorn to and become the tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground lease or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or Deed of Trust.

 

27. NOTICE.

 

Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval or communication desired by either party or required to be given, shall be in writing and served either personally or sent by prepaid certified first class mail, return receipt requested, addressed as set forth in Subparagraph 1(b) and 1(c). Either party may change its address by notification to the other party. Notice shall be deemed to be communicated 48 hours from the time of mailing, or at the time of service as provided in this Paragraph 2728.

 

28. WAIVER.

 

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish termination of this 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 this Lease.

 

29. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

 

In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant and all successors and assigns of Tenant covenant and agree that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord or otherwise pertaining to any obligation of Landlord in respect of the Premises:

 

  (a) The sole and exclusive remedy against Landlord shall be against the Landlord’s interest in the Building;

10


  (g) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner, officer, director, owner, shareholder or advisor of Landlord;

 

  (h) The obligations under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partner, officer, director, owner, shareholder or advisor of Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against any such persons or entities of Landlord or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this Lease; and

 

  (i) These covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord and also by any partner, officer, director, owner, shareholder or advisor of Landlord.

 

Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing provisions shall be applicable to any covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.

 

30. FORCE MAJEURE.

If this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of Landlord, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in Landlord’s performance caused by any of the events of force majeure described above.

 

31. PROFESSIONAL FEES.

 

  (a) If Landlord should engage any professional including, without limitation, attorneys, appraisers, accountants, environmental or other consultants for the purpose of bringing suit for possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provisions of this Lease, or for any other relief against Tenant hereunder, or in the event of any other litigation between the parties with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses including, without limitation, actual professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’, attorneys’ and other consultants’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment. If Landlord employs a collection agency to recover delinquent charges, Tenant agrees to pay all collection agency fees charged to Landlord in addition to rent, late charges, interest and other sums payable under this Lease.

 

  (b) If Landlord is named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit including, without limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.

 

32. EXAMINATION OF LEASE.

 

Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant shall not create a binding agreement between Landlord and Tenant nor shall it constitute a reservation or option to lease on the part of Tenant and this instrument shall not be effective as a lease and shall not create any obligations on the part of Landlord or Tenant until this Lease has been validly executed by, and delivered to, both Landlord and Tenant.

 

33. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 33 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Project or any interest therein.

 

  (b) Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) that not more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance. Tenant’s failure to deliver said statement to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt shall constitute a default under this Lease and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, terminate this Lease.

 

34. RULES AND REGULATIONS.

 

Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the “Rules and Regulations”, a copy of which is attached hereto and marked Exhibit F, and all reasonable and nondiscriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time put into effect by Landlord.

Tenant shall provide Landlord with not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of its intention to have work performed at or materials furnished to the Premises so that Landlord may post appropriate notices of non-responsibility.

  (d) Commissions. Each party represents that it has not had dealings with any real estate broker, finder or other person with respect to this Lease in any manner, except for the broker identified in Subparagraph 1(p).

  (e) Landlord’s Successors. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Project, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any liability under this Lease, and in such event Landlord’s successor in interest shall be solely responsible for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

  (k) Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust, mortgagee, or ground lessor covering the Premises, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee, or ground lessor, a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, or in the event of a ground lessor, by appropriate judicial action, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure.                                                                                              GVH/LCH

The Work Schedule shall set forth each of the various items of work to be done by or approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Improvements.

  5. Schedule. After the preparation of the space plan and after Landlord’s written approval thereof, in accordance with the Work Schedule, Tenant shall cause its architect to prepare and submit to Landlord the Tenant Improvement Plans.

  6. Construction of Tenant Improvements.
