STANDARD FORM BUSINESS CENTER LEASE
ARTICLE 1
PARTIES
This Lease, dated as of this 18th day of March 2003 , is made by and between Eureka Development Company LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (herein called “Landlord”) and Sierra Logic, a Delaware Corporation (herein called “Tenant”).
ARTICLE 2
PREMISES
Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain space (herein called “Premises”), having dimensions of approximately 10,200 square feet of floor area. The Premises are situated within building 9083 Foothills Boulevard (the “Building”) within the Blue Oaks Technical Center (the “Center”). The location, address and dimensions of the Building and the Premises are delineated on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Said Premises and the Center are located at 9083 Foothills Boulevard, Suite 300. in the City of Roseville, County of Placer, State of California. The Common Area is defined in Article 25.
This Lease is subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth and the 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.
ARTICLE 3
USE
Tenant shall use the Premises for general office use including computer and software development and other general office use and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without prior written consent of Landlord.
ARTICLE 4
MINIMUM RENT
4.1 Initial Minimum Rent. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as minimum rent (“Minimum Rent”), without notice or demand, the monthly sum of ELEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY AND NO/100ths Dollars ($11,730.00), in advance, on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month during the term hereof, except that the first month’s rent shall be paid upon the execution hereof. Rent for any period which is for less than one (1) month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly installment herein based upon a thirty (30) day month. Said rental shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America and at such place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
4.2 [ Minimum Rent Adjustment. The Minimum Rent as set forth in Section 4.1 above shall be increased for each year of the term of this Lease following the first year (“Subsequent Year”) if the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, Area: Base 1982/1984 = 100) (“Index”), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the “Comparison Month” (described below) increases over the Index for the calendar month which is four (4) months prior to the month in which Minimum Rent commences (“Base Month”). The Base Month Index shall be compared with the Index for the same calendar month for each Subsequent Year (“Comparison Month”). If the Index for any Comparison Month is higher than the Base Month Index, then the Minimum Rent for the Subsequent Year following the Comparison Month shall be increased commencing with the first month of such Subsequent Year by a percentage which shall be calculated by dividing the Base Month Index into that number which represents the difference, if any, when subtracting the Base Month Index from the index for any Comparison Month. In no event shall the Minimum Rent be less than that set forth in Section 4.1 above. By way of illustration only, if Tenant commences paying Minimum Rent in August of 1996, then the Base Month Index would be that for April, 1996 (assume such Index at 130) and that Index shall be compared with the Index for April  ,1997 (assume such Index at 136), and because the Index for April 1997 is 4.6% higher than the Index for April, 1996 based on the assumptions of 136 and 130, respectively, the Minimum Rent commencing in August of 1997 would be 4.6% higher than the Minimum Rent for the month of August, 1996; likewise the Index for April, 1998 would be compared with the Index for April, 1996.

 


 

Should said Bureau discontinue the publication of the above Index, or publish the same less frequently, or after the same in some other manner, then Landlord shall adopt a substitute index or substitute procedure which reasonably reflects and monitors consumer prices.]
ARTICLE 5

7.2 Adjustments
     (a) In addition to the Minimum Rent provided in Article 4 hereinabove, and commencing at the same time as any rental commences under this Lease, Tenant shall pay as additional rent to Landlord the following items, herein called Adjustments:
     (1) All real estate taxes, bonds or other assessments and insurance premiums on the Premises, including land, building, and improvements thereon. Said real estate taxes shall include all real estate taxes and assessments that are levied upon and/or assessed against the Premises, including any taxes which may be levied on rents. Said insurance shall include all insurance premiums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Article 8 hereinbelow. Said taxes and insurance premiums for purpose of this provision shall be reasonably apportioned in accordance with the total floor area of the Premises as it relates to the gross leasable floor area of the Center which is from time to time completed as of the first day of each calendar quarter (provided, however, that if any other tenants in the Center pay taxes directly to any taxing authority or carry their own insurance, as may be provided in their lease, their square footage shall not be deemed a part of the floor area).
     (2) That percent of the total cost of the following items as Tenant’s total floor area bears to the gross leasable floor area of Blue Oaks Technical Center which is from time to time completed as of the first day of each calendar quarter:
     (i) All real estate taxes, including bonds and assessments, all insurance costs, and all costs to maintain, repair, and replace the “Common Area” of the Center, which includes all areas outside the building wall footprints plus building roofs and exterior walls, parking lots, sidewalks, driveways and other areas used in common by the tenants of the Center, such costs including, but not limited to, landscaping, lighting, security and rubbish removal in connection with such areas.
     (ii) All property management costs to supervise and administer the Premises, Buildings, Project and Common Area. Said costs shall include such fees as may be paid to a third party or an affiliate of the Landlord in connection with same and shall also include, as a separate charge, a market competitive property management fee and a fee payable to Landlord to supervise and administer the common area and the premises in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total costs of Section 7.2(a) (2) (i) above.

Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a change thereof. By March 1 of each year Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a statement showing the total Adjustments for the Center for the prior calendar year and Tenant’s allocable share thereof, prorated from the Commencement Date. In the event the total of the monthly payments which Tenant has made for the prior calendar year be less than the Tenant’s actual share of such Adjustments then Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) days after receipt of such statement from Landlord and shall concurrently pay the difference in monthly payments made in the next calendar year and the amount of monthly payments which are then calculated as monthly Adjustments based on the prior year’s experience. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited towards the monthly Adjustments next coming due. The actual Adjustments for the prior year shall be used for purposes of calculating the anticipated monthly Adjustments for the then current year with actual determination of such Adjustments after each calendar year as above provided; excepting that in any year in which resurfacing of the parking area of the Center is contemplated, Landlord shall be permitted to include the anticipated cost of same as part of the estimated monthly Adjustments. Even though the term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s share of said Adjustments for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the estimated Adjustments previously paid and, conversely, any overpayment made shall be immediately rebated by Landlord to Tenant. Failure of Landlord to submit statements as called for herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Tenant’s requirement to pay sums as herein provided.
ARTICLE 8
INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
8.1 Insuring Party. As used in this Article 8, the term “insuring party” shall mean the party who has the obligation to obtain the insurance required hereunder. This insuring party shall be designated in each Section of this Article 8. Whether the insuring party is Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as additional rent for the Premises, pay the cost of all insurance so obtained.
8.2 Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease, as the insuring party under this Section 8.2, a policy of Combined Single Limit, Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be a combined single limit policy in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). The policy shall contain cross liability endorsements and shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions of this Article 8. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. Said insurance shall have a Landlord’s Protective Liability endorsement attached thereto. If Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain said insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Tenant. Not more frequently than each year, if, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, the

 


 

amount of liability insurance required hereunder is not adequate, Tenant shall increase said insurance coverage as required by Landlord; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of the liability insurance increase be more than fifty percent (50%) greater than the amount thereof during the preceding year of the term of this Lease. However, the failure of Landlord to require any additional insurance coverage shall not be deemed to relieve Tenant from any obligations under this Lease.
8.3 Property Insurance
     (a) Landlord, as insuring party under this Section 8.3, shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises, in the amount of ninety percent (90%) of the replacement value thereof, as the same may exist from time to time against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk) and sprinkler leakage. Said insurance shall provide for payment of loss thereunder to Landlord or to the holders of mortgages or deeds of trust on the Premises. Landlord shall, in addition, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of rental income insurance covering a period of one (1) year, with loss payable to Landlord, which insurance shall also cover all real estate taxes and insurance costs for said period. The cost of all insurance provided by Landlord will be payable by the Tenant as set forth in Article 7.2
     (b) Tenant shall pay for any increase in the property insurance of other building or buildings in the Center if said increase is caused by Tenant’s acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises. It is provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to pay for any such increases in insurance costs of adjacent properties unless such increased insurance costs was the result of unusual features of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or of Tenant’s unusual acts or omissions, the intent of the parties being to require Tenant to be financially responsible to the extent of such cost increases for creating situations of unusual hazard on the Premises not reasonably contemplated by the use to which the Premises shall be put pursuant to Article 3 above.
     (c) Landlord will not insure Tenant’s fixtures, equipment or Tenant improvements unless the Tenant improvements have become a part of the Premises under Article 11 hereof. Tenant shall have such responsibility in accordance with Section 8.7 hereinbelow.
     (d) Not more frequently than once each year, if, in the opinion of Landlord, the amount of property insurance required hereunder is not adequate, Landlord shall increase said insurance coverage as determined by Landlord. However, such increase may be more frequent than each year if required by the insurance carrier in order to maintain insurance for the full replacement value of the Premises.
8.4 Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies holding a “General Policyholders Rating” of A or better as set forth in the most current issue of “Best’s Insurance Guide”. The insuring party shall deliver to the other party copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss payable clauses satisfactory to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modifications except after ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord. If Tenant is the insuring party, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in Section 8.3. If Tenant does or permits to be done anything which shall increase the cost of the insurance policies referred to in Section 8.3, then Tenant shall forthwith upon Landlord’s demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation of Tenant causing such increase in the cost of insurance. If Landlord is the insuring party and if the insurance policies maintained hereunder cover other improvements in addition to the Premises, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the amount of any such insurance cost increase and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has been computed.
8.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant and Landlord each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its property or the property of others under its control to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy in force at the time of such loss or damages. The insuring party shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding, the waiver of subrogation would not be effective if its inclusion would cancel an insurance policy of any party.
8.6 Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises, or from the conduct of Tenant’s business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any negligence of the Tenant, or any of such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel satisfactory to Landlord, to the extent such claim arises from Tenant’s use. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises arising from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord, except in the event of Landlord’s negligence or default hereunder.

 


 

8.7 Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Except in the event of Landlord’s, his agent’s, or employee’s negligence, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s business or any loss of income therefrom or for damage to the improvements, trade fixtures, contents, goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Tenant (“Tenant’s Contents”), Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, nor shall Landlord be liable for injury to the person of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the building in which the Premises are located. Tenant shall maintain the following insurance coverage with respect to the insurable losses contemplated by this Section 8.7 during the term of this Lease insuring Landlord, Tenant and any lender of record encumbering the Premises, with full waiver of subrogation:
     (a) against fire, extended coverage and vandalism and malicious mischief perils, including coverage for Tenant’s Contents, in an amount of not less than ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement cost thereof.
     (b) Broad form boiler and machinery insurance on a blanket repair and replacement basis with limits per accident not less than the replacement cost of all leasehold improvements and of all boilers, pressure vessels, air conditioning equipment, miscellaneous electrical apparatus and all other insurable objects owned or operated by Tenant or by others (other than Landlord) on behalf of Tenant in the Premises or relating or serving the Premises;
     (c) Business interruption insurance in such amount as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all such perils insured against in Section 8.7(a) and 8.7(b) above; and
     (d) Workmen’s compensation insurance covering all Tenant’s employees working in the Premises.
8.8 Additional Insurance. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Lease, the insuring party shall also provide insurance against damage by such other perils as any mortgage lending institution holding a mortgage on the Premises may from time to time require against damage by such other perils as mortgage lending institutions generally may from time to time require in case of similar properties and in such amounts.
8.9 Blanket Policy. If at any time during the term of this Lease the insuring party shall have in full force and effect a blanket policy of general liability insurance and/or property insurance with the same coverage for the Premises or for Tenant’s property as applicable all as described above, as well as coverage of other premises and properties of the insuring party or in which the insuring party has some interest, such blanket insurance shall satisfy the requirements hereof.
ARTICLE 9
USES PROHIBITED
Tenant shall not do nor permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, nor bring or keep anything therein which is not within the permitted use of the Premises, which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, nor cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building or the Center or any part thereof or any of its contents.

The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. There shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statutes or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, provide, through a third party vendor, regular inspections and periodic maintenance but not repairs for HVAC. Any repairs to the HVAC system shall be the Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to Article 12.1 above. The cost of said inspections and maintenance provided by the Landlord shall be paid by the Tenant as an adjustment pursuant to Article 7.2.
ARTICLE 13
LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property in which the Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord may require, at Landlord’s sole option, that Tenant shall provide to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half (11/2) times the estimated cost of any improvements, additions, alterations in the Premises which the Tenant desires to make, to insure Landlord against any liability for mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and to insure completion of the work.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall not voluntarily, or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this lease or in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempt to assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event that Landlord shall consent to a sublease or

 


 

assignment under the provisions of this Article 14, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with giving such consent. Prior to such approval by Landlord of subletting or assignment, Tenant shall provide Landlord with information concerning the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s financial responsibility. Further, if for any proposed assignment or sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration either initially or over the term of the assignment of sublease, in excess of the rent called for hereunder, or in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder taken into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent hereunder all of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after its receipt.
ARTICLE 15
UTILITIES
Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power and sewer charges, telephone service and all other services and utilities supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon.

ARTICLE 16
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES
Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and which become payable during the term hereof upon all Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and any other personal property located in the Premises.

ARTICLE 17
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and regulations affecting the Center that Landlord shall from time to time promulgate and/or modify.

Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any said rules and regulations by any other tenants or occupants of the Center.
ARTICLE 18
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant will be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant-at-sufferance subject to all the covenants and obligations of this Lease and at a daily rental of twice the per diem Minimum Rent provided hereunder, computed on the basis of a thirty (30) day month, and Tenant will vacate the Premises and deliver the same to Landlord upon Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord to vacate the Premises. If any Property not belonging to Landlord remains at the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to make such disposition of such property as Landlord may desire without liability for compensation or damages to Tenant. In the event that such property belongs to someone other than Tenant, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all suits, actions, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses in connection with or incident to any removal, exercise of dominion over and/or disposition of such property by Landlord.
ARTICLE 19
ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord reserves, and with 24 hour notice and during normal business hours except in the case of an emergency, the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of non-responsibility, to repair the Premises and any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a part that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, without abatement of rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be unreasonably blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to gain access in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.

 


 

ARTICLE 20
TENANT’S DEFAULT
20.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
     (a) Failure to pay Minimum Rent, adjustments, additional rent or any other monetary obligation which Tenant is required to pay under this lease when due.
     (b) Abandonment or vacation of the Premises or any substantial portion thereof (failure to occupy and operate the Premises for ten (10) consecutive days shall be deemed an abandonment and vacation).
     (c) Failure to perform any other provision of this Lease if the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has been given to Tenant. If the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default.
     (d) The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition or reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); or the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.
20.2 Notices of Default. Notices given under this Article 20 shall specify the alleged default and the applicable Lease provisions, and shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease within the applicable period of time, or quit the Premises. No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord so elects in the notice.
ARTICLE 21
LANDLORD’S REMEDIES
Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant commits a default. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.
21.1 Tenant’s Right to Possession Not Terminated. Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect, and the Lease will continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect rent when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord can enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s account. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and like costs. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent due under this Lease on the dates the rent is due, less the rent Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this Section 21.1 shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease. After Tenant’s default and for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains Landlord’s consent Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease, but Tenant shall not be released from liability.
21.2 Termination of Tenant’s Right to Possession. Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by the 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. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:
     (a) The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;
     (b) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
     (c) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and
     (d) Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment approximately caused by Tenant’s default.

 


 

“The worth, at the time of the award”, as used in Section 21.2(a) and 21.2(b), is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. “The worth, at the time of the award”, as referred to in Section 21.2(c), is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%).
21.3 Appointment of Receiver. If Tenant is in default of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect rent and conduct Tenant’s business. Neither the filing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
21.4 Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default. Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default, can cure the default at Tenant’s cost. If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together with interest on it, shall be additional rent.
ARTICLE 22
DEFAULT BY LANDLORD
Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant 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 thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) 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 and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction.
ARTICLE 23
RECONSTRUCTION
In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair same, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the Minimum Rent from the date of damage and while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by the Tenant in the Premises. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, there shall be no abatement of rent. In the event the Premises are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, then Landlord shall have the option: (1) to repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect, but the Minimum Rent to be proportionately reduced as provided hereinabove in this Article 23; or (2) give notice to Tenant any time within sixty (60) days after such damage, terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the Minimum Rent, reduced by a proportionate reduction, based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage interfered with the business carried on by the Tenant in the Premises, shall be paid up to the date of such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 23, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered in this Article 23 occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof. Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any repairs or replacements of any leasehold improvements, fixtures, or other personal property of Tenant.
ARTICLE 24
EMINENT DOMAIN
If more than twenty five percent (25%) of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, within sixty (60) days after said taking, to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice. If less than twenty five percent (25%) of the Premises are taken, or if more than twenty five percent (25%) is taken and neither party elects to terminate as herein provided, the Minimum Rent thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced. If any part of the Center other than the Premises may be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall within sixty (60) days of said taking have the right at its option to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. In the event of any taking or appropriation whatsoever, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements which may be given and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

Landlord covenants that except as otherwise provided hereinbelow, an area approximately equal to the Common Area which includes automobile parking, shall be at all times available for the non-exclusive use of Tenant during the full term of this Lease or any extension of the term hereof, provided that the condemnation or other taking by any public authority, or sale in lieu of condemnation, of any or all of such Common Area shall not constitute a violation of this covenant; provided further, however, that Landlord reserves the right to change the entrances, exits, traffic lanes and the boundaries and locations of such Common Area including automobile parking and to construct buildings and other improvements thereon if in the sole good faith judgment of Landlord such construction shall be for the overall benefit of the Center and will not substantially interfere with ingress and egress from the Premises or the flow of vehicular traffic in the Center.
25.1 Maintenance.

25.2 Common Rights. Tenant, for the use and benefit of Tenant, its agents, employees, customers, licensees and subtenants, shall have the non-exclusive right in common with Landlord, and other present and future owners, tenants and their agents, employees, customers, licensees and sub-tenants, to use said Common Area during the entire term of this Lease, or any extension thereof, for ingress and egress, and automobile parking.
25.3 Rules and Regulations. Tenant, in the use of said Common Area, agrees to comply with such reasonable rules, regulations and charges for parking as Landlord may adopt from time to time for orderly and proper operation of said Common Area.

Landlord shall not withhold such written approval of such signage material so long as it conforms with the Signage Criteria attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by this reference. Anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, Tenant shall not affix any sign to the roof.

ARTICLE 30
RESTRICTION OF TENANT
[ 30.1 Area. In recognition of the fact that this Lease provides for a percentage rent based on sales made by Tenant in or from the Premises, Tenant agrees (insofar as, and to the extent that, it is lawful so to agree) that for the period commencing with the execution of this Lease and ending at the end of the term hereof, neither Tenant nor any of Tenant’s affiliated, parent or subsidiary businesses, firms or companies will operate, directly or indirectly, another store, department or concession in another store under the name of the Tenant, or the name under which Tenant does business in the Premises, or which is identifiable with the operation conducted in the Premises, within a reasonable area of the Premises, without the prior consent of Landlord, Tenant agreeing with Landlord that the area within a circle having as its center the Premises and having a radius of (five (5) miles as a reasonable area for this purpose.

The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors in interest, or any other action not involving the personal liability of Landlord, or any successor holder of Landlord’s interest hereunder, or any beneficiary of any trust of which any person from time to time holding Landlord’s interest is trustee, to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s equity interest aforesaid in the Center.

     (a) That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage, or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligation of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder, or ground lessor, shall by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect, and
     (b) That, except as aforesaid, such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder by such ground lessor.
32.2 Leaseback. Where a party acquires Landlord’s interest in property (whether land only, or land and buildings) which includes the Premises, and simultaneously leases the same back, such acquisition shall not be treated as an assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder, and this Lease shall thereafter be subject and subordinate at all times to such lease.

ARTICLE 35
MISCELLANEOUS
35.1 Plats and Riders. Clauses, plats, riders and addendums, if any, affixed to this Lease are a part hereof.
35.2 Waiver. The waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such terms, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of the Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding defaults at the time of such rent.
35.3 Joint Obligation. If there be more than one Tenant the obligations hereunder imposed shall be joint and several.

The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by the Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

This Lease shall not be effective or binding on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto.
35.11 Inability to Perform. This Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because the Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of strike, labor troubles, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord.

35.14 Choice of Law. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
35.15 Attorneys’ Fees.

Tenant shall also provide a letter of credit in the amount of $100,000.00, which shall be released within ten (10) days of Tenant’s next round of funding after Landlord has had a chance to review all documentation with regards to burn rate and financial information. This shall occur only if Tenant is not in default of their Lease and shall be at Landlord’s sole discretion, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
