* | Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenants obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent during the months of July and August, 2009 (such total amount of abated Monthly Base Rent being hereinafter referred to as the Abated Amount). During such abatement period, Tenant will still be responsible for the payment of all other monetary obligations under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any default by Tenant under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, therefore, should Tenant at any time during the Term be in default after having been given notice and opportunity to cure, then the total unamortized sum of such Abated Amount (amortized on a straight line basis over the initial Term of this Lease) so conditionally excused shall become immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 1.03 is intended to limit any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity under applicable law (including, without limitation, the remedies under Civil Code Section 1951.2 and/or 1951.4 and any successor statutes or similar laws), in the event Tenant Defaults under this Lease. |
All costs of the Landlord Work which exceed the Allowance but are less than or equal to $8.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (the Amortized TI Costs) shall, at Tenants option, be provided to Tenant by Landlord (so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease). The Amortized TI Costs shall be amortized over the initial Term, plus interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per year, and the annual amortized amount shall be paid by Tenant monthly, as Additional Rent under this Lease, in equal installments throughout the initial Term until such excess costs have been fully repaid. | |||
Provided that Landlord provides to Tenant the Amortized TI Costs, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease within thirty (30) days following completion of the installation of the Landlord Work, setting forth a new rent schedule for the Term which incorporates the Amortized TI Costs into the Monthly Base Rent amounts as provided in this Section 1.03. Failure to sign such an amendment shall not affect Tenants liability for the Amortized TI Costs. | |||
1.04 | Tenants Share: The sum of Tenants Common Area Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and Tenants Building Share of Building Operating Expenses. | ||

Tenants Building Share: Tenants percentage of Building Operating Expenses (as defined in Exhibit B) which shall be calculated by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises by the rentable square footage of the Building. |
1.05 | Term: A period of forty-eight (48) months. The Term shall commence on June 1, 2009 (the Commencement Date) and, unless terminated early in accordance with this Lease, end on May 31, 2013 (the Termination Date). | ||

1.11 | Parking: Tenant shall have non-exclusive access to fifty (50) surface parking spaces in common with other tenants and occupants of the Development. All parking rights granted to Tenant hereunder may be utilized by Tenants agents, licensees, assignees, subtenants, customers, employees, contractors, suppliers and invitees (Tenants Parties or Tenant Parties) on the same basis as they are available to Tenant (subject to the terms of Exhibit D attached hereto), except that Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct and allocate such use. |
2. Possession.
2.01 It is contemplated that Landlord will perform Landlord Work prior to and following the Commencement Date during which time Tenant shall be in possession of the Premises and paying Rent (defined below). Tenant acknowledges that some interruptions and/or interference with Tenants business may occur during the course of the Landlord Work, but agrees that no interruptions or inconveniences to Tenant or its business suffered as a result of the Landlord Work shall excuse Tenant from paying full Rent or constitute an eviction of Tenant from the Premises, whether constructive or otherwise. Landlords failure to substantially complete the Landlord Work by any particular date shall not be a default by Landlord or otherwise render Landlord liable for damages. If Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Landlord Work as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant, the Tenant Parties or their respective contractors or vendors, including, without limitation, changes requested by Tenant to approved plans, Tenants failure to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, or the specification of any materials or equipment with long lead times (a Tenant Delay), the Landlord Work shall be deemed to be substantially complete on the date that Landlord could reasonably have been expected to substantially complete the Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay.
2.02 Subject to Landlord performing any required Landlord Work, the Premises and Existing Fixtures (defined below) are accepted by Tenant in as is condition and configuration without any representations or warranties by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to deliver possession of the Premises or any other space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any party. In such event, the commencement date for such space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant free from occupancy by any party.
2.03 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord warrants that all Building Systems (as defined herein) serving the Premises shall be in good operating condition and repair for the first ninety (90) days of the Term following the Commencement Date (the Landlord Warranty Period). Such warranty shall not, however, cover any damage to the Building Systems caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, which shall be repaired at Tenants sole expense. Subject to the foregoing limitation, as Tenants sole remedy for Landlords breach of this warranty, Landlord shall make any repairs and/or replacements to the Building Systems that may be required during the Landlord Warranty Period at Landlords expense, and the cost of any such repairs and/or replacements shall not be included in Tenants Share of Operating Expenses (as such terms are hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Lease, Building Systems shall mean the fire/life safety systems, Building HVAC (as hereinafter defined), plumbing, electrical (including panels and outlets) and mechanical systems (and shall exclude any such systems installed by or on behalf of Tenant). Landlord has not received any written notice regarding any violation of the provisions of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended and any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, the ADA).
2.04 At no additional cost to Tenant, Landlord shall provide the furniture, fixtures and equipment listed on Exhibit G, attached hereto and incorporated herein (the Existing Fixtures).
3. Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction all Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Term (collectively referred to as Rent) when due. Additional Rent means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to pay Landlord under this Lease, including, without limitation, payments for insurance, repairs and parking and Tenants Share of Taxes and Expenses. Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and
use taxes (but excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent. Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month without notice or demand. All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before thirty (30) days after billing by Landlord provided that the installment of Base Rent and Additional Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. Rent shall be made payable to the entity and sent to the address Landlord designates. Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to five percent (5%) of all past due Rent. In addition, past due Rent shall accrue interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum (or the maximum rate legally permissible, whichever is less) (Interest Rate) from the date due until paid. Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Tenants covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this Lease. Concurrently with Tenants execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the first installment of Monthly Base Rent in the sum of Sixteen Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty and 40/100 Dollars ($16,880.40).
4. Compliance with Laws; Use. The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall comply with all statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any municipal or governmental entity (Laws), regarding the operation of Tenants business and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building attached as Exhibit D and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time.
5. Letter of Credit.
5.01 Concurrently with Tenants execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as additional collateral for the full performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, any post lease termination damages under section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code, a standby, unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit (the Letter of Credit) in the form of Exhibit F hereto and containing the terms required herein, in the face amount of One Hundred Eighty-Three and No/100ths Dollars ($183,000.00) (provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the Amortized TI Costs) (the Letter of Credit Amount), naming Landlord as beneficiary, issued by a financial institution acceptable to Landlord in Landlords sole discretion, permitting multiple and partial draws thereon, and otherwise in form acceptable to Landlord in Its sole discretion. Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be continuously maintained in effect (whether through replacement, renewal or extension) in the Letter of Credit Amount (as the same may be reduced pursuant to in Section 5.06 and/or 5.07 below) through the date (the Final LC Expiration Date) that is 120 days after the scheduled expiration date of the Term or any renewal Term of this Lease. If the Letter of Credit held by Landlord expires earlier than the Final LC Expiration Date (whether by reason of a stated expiration date or a notice of termination or non-renewal given by the issuing bank), Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord. Any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section 5, shall be irrevocable, transferable and shall remain in effect (or be automatically renewable) through the Final LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.
5.02 Landlord shall have the immediate right to draw upon the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time: (i) If a Default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period provided for such Default in this Lease and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages it suffers upon termination of this Lease; (ii) If the Letter of Credit held by Landlord expires (or is set to expire) earlier than the Final LC Expiration Date (whether by reason of a stated expiration date or a notice of termination or non-renewal given by the issuing bank), and Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, a renewal or substitute Letter of Credit that is in effect and that complies with the provisions of this Section 5; or (iii) Tenant either files a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by an entity other than Landlord or an affiliate thereof, under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or Tenant is placed in receivership or otherwise becomes insolvent. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant under this Lease or upon the occurrence of any of the other events described above in this Section 5.02.
5.03 The proceeds of the Letter of Credit shall constitute Landlords sole and separate property (and not Tenants property or the property of Tenants bankruptcy estate) and Landlord may immediately upon any draw (and without notice to Tenant) apply or offset the proceeds of the Letter of Credit: (i) against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due; (ii) against all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it may suffer as a result of any Default by Tenant under this Lease, including any damages arising under section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code following termination of this Lease; (iii) against any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with this Lease (including attorneys fees); and (iv) against any other amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenants Default. Provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Final LC Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied as allowed above; provided, that if prior to the Final LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenants creditors, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such
bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed, in each case pursuant to a final court order not subject to appeal or any stay pending appeal.
5.04 If, as result of any application or use by Landlord of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of credit in the total Letter of Credit Amount), and any such additional (or replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section 5, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the same shall, at Landlords election, constitute an uncurable event of default by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
5.05 Landlord may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenants consent thereto, transfer all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, including Landlords mortgagee and/or to have the Letter of Credit reissued in the name of Landlords mortgagee. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Building and transfers the Letter of Credit (or any proceeds thereof then held by Landlord) in whole or in part to the transferee, Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties hereto, thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability therefor. The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of all or any part of the Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenants sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the issuer of the Letter of Credit such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer. Tenant shall be responsible for paying the issuers transfer and processing fees in connection with any transfer of the Letter of Credit and, if Landlord advances any such fees (without having any obligation to do so), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such transfer or processing fees within ten days after Landlords written request therefor.
5.06 Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and provided that Tenant has not been in Default or breach of any provision of this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at any time prior to a Reduction Event (defined below), then Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit Amount to an amount equal to the last months Base Rent. For purposes of this Section 5, a "Reduction Event shall mean any one of the following which occurs after the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (each of which shall be verified by Landlords review and approval of financial statements and other reasonably requested documentation): (1) Tenant is acquired by a publicly traded company with a market capitalization greater than $150,000,000.00; (2) Tenant is acquired by a privately held company that has at least four (4) consecutive quarters of profitability as of the date of the acquisition and a current ratio greater than 1.00 (i.e., current assets divided by current liabilities in accordance with GAAP); or (3) Tenant has at least four (4) consecutive quarters of profitability and a current ratio greater than 1.00 (i.e., current assets divided by current liabilities in accordance with GAAP).
5.07 Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and provided that prior to an applicable Reduction Date (defined below) (a) Tenant has not been in Default or breach of any provision of this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at any time and (b) no Reduction Event has occurred, then Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit Amount effective as of the last day of the twelfth (12th), twenty-fourth (24th), and thirty-sixth (36th) months of the Term (individually, a Reduction Date and collectively, the Reduction Dates) as follows: On each Reduction Date, Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit Amount by an amount equal to Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the original Letter of Credit Amount. For example, if Tenant has not been in Default or breach of any provision of this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at any time prior to the Reduction Date occurring on the last day of the twelfth (12th) month of the Term, Tenant elected not to apply the cost of the Landlord Work to the Amortized TI Costs and Tenant duly and timely pays the Monthly Basic Rent and Additional Rent that is due and payable on the first day of the twelfth (12th) month, Tenant would be entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit Amount by Forty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and No/100ths Dollars ($45,750.00) to One Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and No/100th Dollars ($137,250.00) effective as of the last day of the twelfth (12th) month of the Term. If Tenant is eligible for a Letter of Credit reduction on a Reduction Date, Landlord shall execute any documents reasonably requested by Tenant and the issuing bank to effectuate the applicable release of the Letter of Credit, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant submits such documents to Landlord for execution provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease.
5.08 Landlord and Tenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a security deposit under any Law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context including Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as such section now exists or as may be hereafter amended or succeeded (Security Deposit Laws), (2) acknowledge and agree that the Letter of Credit (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all other Laws, now or hereafter in effect, which (i) establish the time frame by which Landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (ii) provide that Landlord may claim from the security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Section 5 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenants breach of this Lease or the acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenants Parties, including any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease.
6. Tenants Use of Common Areas. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to use in common with Landlord and all persons, firms and corporations conducting business in the Development and their respective customers, guests, licensees, invitees, subtenants, employees and agents (collectively, Development Occupants), subject to the terms of this Lease, the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D and all covenants, conditions and restrictions now or hereafter affecting the Development (provided Tenants use of the Premises as contemplated herein is not materially and adversely impacted, whether by way of amendment to, the following common areas of the Development (collectively, the Common Areas): the parking facilities of the Development which serve the Building, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways, landscaped areas, and similar areas and facilities situated within the Development and appurtenant to the Building which are not reserved for the exclusive use of any Development Occupants). Subject to Tenants obligation to pay Tenants Common Area Share of the cost thereof through Common Area Operating Expenses (as defined in Exhibit B) Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas (including, without limitation, the truck loading and parking areas and trash removal) in a clean, orderly, lighted and reasonably attractive condition comparable with similar projects in the vicinity with, subject to the remainder of this Lease, continuous ingress and egress to and from public roadways to the Premises and the parking areas appurtenant to the Premises.
7. Landlords Reservation of Rights. Provided Tenants use of and access to the Premises and parking to be provided to Tenant under this Lease is not interfered with in an unreasonable manner, Landlord reserves for itself and for all other owner(s) and operator(s) of the Common Areas and the balance of the Development, the right from time to time to: (i) install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas of the Building; (ii) make changes to the design and layout of the Development, including, without limitation, changes to buildings, driveways, entrances, loading and unloading areas, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways, and, subject to the parking provisions contained in Section 29 and Exhibit D, parking spaces and parking areas; and (iii) use or close temporarily the Common Areas and/or other portions of the Development while engaged in making improvements, repairs or alterations to the Building, the Development, or any portion thereof.
8. Operating Expenses.
8.01 Throughout the Term of this Lease, commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent in accordance with the terms of this Section 8, Tenants Common Area Share of the Common Area Operating Expenses and Tenants Building Share of the Building Operating Expenses and all costs and expenses for the operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Development including, without limitation those costs and expenses listed on Exhibit B attached hereto.
8.02 Prior to the Commencement Data and on or about March 1st of each subsequent calendar year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord will endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement (Estimate Statement) wherein Landlord will estimate both the Operating Expenses and Tenants Share thereof (the Monthly Operating Expense Charge) for the then current calendar year. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent, Tenants estimated Monthly Operating Expense Charge each month thereafter, beginning with the next installment of rent due, until such time as Landlord issues a revised Estimate Statement or the Estimate Statement for the succeeding calendar year except that, concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the receipt of each such Estimate Statement, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of Tenants estimated Monthly Operating Expense Charge multiplied by the number of months from January, in the current calendar year, to the month of such rent payment next due, all months inclusive (less any applicable Operating Expenses already paid). If at any time during the Term of this Lease, but not more often than quarterly, Landlord reasonably determines that Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for the current calendar year will be greater than the amount set forth in the then current Estimate Statement, Landlord may issue a revised Estimate Statement and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, with the next months rent payment due following receipt of the revised Estimate Statement, the difference between the amount owed by Tenant under such revised Estimate Statement and the amount owed by Tenant under the original Estimate Statement for the portion of the then current calendar year which has expired. Thereafter Tenant agrees to pay Tenants Monthly Operating Expense Charge based on such revised Estimate Statement until Tenant receives the next calendar years Estimate Statement or a new revised Estimate Statement for the current calendar year.
8.03 By March 1st of each calendar year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord will also endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement (Actual Statement) which states Tenants Share of the actual Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals that Tenants Share of the actual Operating Expenses is more than the total Additional Rent paid by Tenant for Operating Expenses on account of the preceding calendar year, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) days of receipt of the Actual Statement. If the Actual Statement reveals that Tenants Share of the actual Operating Expenses is less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant for Operating Expenses on account of the preceding calendar year, Landlord will credit any overpayment toward the next monthly installment(s) of Tenants Share of the Operating Expenses due under this Lease or, in the event this Lease terminates before Tenant is able to receive such credit, Landlord will pay the amount of such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord finalizes the Actual Statement.
8.04 Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement pursuant to this Section 8 will not constitute a waiver of its right to require an increase in rent nor will it relieve Tenant of its obligations pursuant to this Section 8, except that Tenant will not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement until ten (10) days after receipt of such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement. If Tenant does not object to any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement within ninety (90) days after
Tenant receives any such statement, such statement will be deemed final and binding on Tenant. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenants Share of the actual Operating Expenses for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant agrees to promptly pay any increase due over the estimated expenses paid and, conversely, any overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall promptly be rebated by Landlord to Tenant. Such obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease Term and Landlords acceptance of Tenants surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to estimate the actual Operating Expenses for the then current Lease Year and to collect from Tenant prior to Tenants surrender of the Premises, Tenants Share of any excess of such actual Operating Expenses over the estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant in such Lease Year.
8.05 Tenant agrees to contract directly for and to pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, waste/trash removal, sewer and other utilities, service and maintenance of the heating ventilation and air conditioning system (the HVAC) serving the Premises which service shall be performed no less frequently than quarterly and janitorial services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered or billed to Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Landlord of all charges jointly metered with other Premises. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any failure to furnish any of the foregoing utilities and services if such failure is caused by all or any of the following: (i) accident, breakage or repairs; (ii) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbance or labor dispute of any character; (iii) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action or inaction; (iv) inability despite the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water or fuel; or (v) any other cause beyond Landlords reasonable control. In addition, in the event of any stoppage or interruption of services or utilities, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent and no eviction of Tenant will result from such failure and Tenant will not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of such failure. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if, as a result of the negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or its agents, contractors or employees, for more than three (3) consecutive business days following written notice to Landlord, there is no elevator service to the Premises, or no HVAC or electricity to the Premises, or such an interruption of other essential utilities and building services, such as fire protection or water, so that any portion of the Premises cannot be and is not used by Tenant as contemplated in this Lease, in Tenants judgment reasonably exercised, then Tenants rent shall thereafter be abated until the Premises are again usable by Tenant in proportion to the extent to which Tenants use of the Premises is interfered with; provided, however, that if Landlord is diligently pursuing the repair of such utilities or services and Landlord provides substitute services reasonably suitable for Tenants purposes, as for example, bringing in portable air-conditioning equipment, then there shall not be an abatement of rent. This section shall not apply in case of damage to, or destruction of, the Building, which shall be governed by a separate provision of this Lease.
8.06 Subject to this Section 8, Landlord shall furnish to the Common Areas in the Building HVAC from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday (the Building Hours). Tenant shall have the right to receive HVAC service to the Common Areas in the Building during hours other than Building Hours by paying Landlords then standard charge for additional HVAC service (which shall be treated as Additional Rent) with a two (2) hour minimum and providing such reasonable prior notice as is specified from time to time by Landlord. The current hourly cost, which is subject to increase in Landlords reasonable discretion, is Forty-Five Dollars ($45.00).
9. Leasehold Improvements.
9.01 All improvements in and to in the Premises, including the Landlord Work, any Alterations, the Existing Fixtures and Fixtures (as defined in Exhibit C attached hereto) (collectively, "Leasehold Improvements), shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove any electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment (collectively, Cable) installed by or for the benefit of Tenant and any Landlord Work or Alterations or Fixtures that, in Landlords reasonable judgment, are not standard office improvements and are of a nature that would require material removal and repair costs (collectively referred to as Required Removables).
10. Repairs and Alterations.
10.01 Tenant shall periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair and shall promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly perform all maintenance and repairs to the Premises that are not Landlords express responsibility under this Lease, and shall keep the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the repairs, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the repairs. Landlord shall perform all maintenance and repairs upon the: (a) structural elements of the Building; (b) mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and fire/life safety systems serving the Building in general; (c) Common Areas; (d) roof of the Building; (e) exterior windows of the Building; and (f) elevators serving the Building.

(a) Terminate this Lease and Tenants right to possession of the Premises and recover from Tenant an award of damages equal to the sum of the following:
(i) The Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(ii) The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) 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 Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could be reasonably avoided;

No waiver by Landlord of any breach hereof shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord.

Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenants employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or
invitees to be loaded, unloaded, or parked in areas other than those, designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described herein, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which cost shall be Immediately payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord.
30. Joint and Several Obligations. If more than one (1) person executes this Lease as Tenant, their execution of this Lease will constitute their covenant and agreement that (i) each of them is jointly and severally liable for the keeping, observing and performing of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant, and (ii) the term Tenant as used in this Lease means and includes each of them jointly and severally. The act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of any one (1) or more of them, with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension, expiration, termination or modification of this Lease, will be binding upon each and all of the persons executing this Lease as Tenant with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or so given or received such notice or refund or so signed.
31. Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Lease may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one (1) and the same agreement. The parties may exchange counterpart signatures by facsimile or electronic transmission and the same shall constitute delivery of this Lease with respect to the delivering party. If a variation or discrepancy among counterparts occurs, the copy of this Lease in Landlords possession shall control.
32. Hazardous Substance Disclosure. California law requires landlords to disclose to tenants the existence of certain Hazardous Materials. As used herein, Hazardous Materials means any chemical, substance, material, controlled substance, object, condition, waste, living organism or combination thereof, whether solid, semi-solid, liquid or gaseous, which is or may be hazardous to human health or safety or to the environment due to its radioactivity, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, explosivity, toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, phytotoxicity, infectiousness or other harmful or potentially harmful properties or effects, including, without irritation, tobacco smoke, petroleum and petroleum products, asbestos, radon, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), refrigerants (including those substances defined in the Environmental Protection Agencys Refrigerant Recycling Rule, as amended from time to time) and all of those chemicals, substances, materials, controlled substances, objects, conditions, wastes, living organisms or combinations thereof which are now or become in the future listed, defined or regulated in any manner by any Environmental Law based upon, directly or indirectly, such properties or effects. Accordingly, the existence of gasoline and other automotive fluids, asbestos containing materials, maintenance fluids, copying fluids and other office supplies and equipment, certain construction and finish materials, tobacco smoke, cosmetics and other personal items must be disclosed. Gasoline and other automotive fluids are found in the parking areas of the Development. Cleaning, lubricating and hydraulic fluids used in the operation and maintenance of the Building are found in the utility areas of the Building not generally accessible to Building occupants or the public. Many Building occupants use copy machines and printers with associated fluids and toners, and pens, markers, inks, and office equipment that may contain Hazardous Materials. Certain adhesives, paints and other construction materials and finishes used in portions of the Building may contain Hazardous Materials. The Building may from time to time be exposed to tobacco smoke. Building occupants and other persons entering the Building from time to time may use or carry prescription and non-prescription drugs, perfumes, cosmetics and other toiletries, and foods and beverages, some of which may contain Hazardous Materials. By its execution of this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that the notice set forth hereinabove shall constitute the notice required under California Health and Safety Code Section 25915.5.
The Development was constructed on property that was part of the regional South Bay Asbestos Area Superfund Site under regulatory oversight of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) because it contained fill materials that included construction debris including transits pipe, a material that typically contains asbestos, in addition to materials that had been removed from a nearby landfill in the 1960s during relocation of the Guadalupe River channel. Steps were taken to remove these materials prior to construction of the buildings that now comprise the Development. Any materials that might not have been removed were isolated in place by installation of a soil cap and a sealed sixty (60)-mil thick polyethylene liner under the buildings. A venting system was installed to collect any methane that might be generated by the decomposition of any organic landfill material remaining in the soil.
Asbestos, which is a hazardous substance, may be located on or beneath the property. To ensure that there is no exposure to the asbestos, there is a soil management plan in effect to maintain the cap integrity. Tenants shall not perform any actions that disturb the soil or asphalt at the Development. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not take any action, plan or activity that might disturb the soil or asphalt, or could pierce the polyethylene liner under the Buildings or interfere with the sub-surface venting system.
The Development is subject to a deed restriction that limits use of the property to industrial and/or commercial use and requires that the integrity of the cap be maintained. Tenant shall abide by this and all other restrictions affecting the Development.
Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

WORK LETTER
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between BIXBY TECHNOLOGY CENTER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord) and FUSION-IO, a Nevada corporation (Tenant) for space in the Building located at 2130 Gold Street, San Jose, California, located in the Development commonly known as Bixby Technology Center.
1. | This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be performed in the Premises for Tenants use. All Improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed in and upon the Premises by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the Landlord Work. It is agreed that construction of the Landlord Work will be completed at Tenants sole cost and expense, subject to the Allowance (as defined below). Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a general contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord Work. | |
2. | Tenant shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission to Landlord of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, schedule, plans and specifications (called Plans) necessary to construct the Landlord Work, which plans shall be subject to approval by Landlord and Landlords architect and engineers and shall comply with their requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenants plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenants furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlords approval of Tenants plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. If requested by Tenant, Landlords architect will prepare the Plans necessary for such construction at Tenants cost. Whether or not the layout and Plans are prepared with the help (in whole or in part) of Landlords architect, Tenant agrees to remain solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission of the Plans and for all elements of the design of such Plans and for all costs related thereto. Tenant has assured itself by direct communication with the architect and engineers (Landlords or its own, as the case may be) that the final approved Plans can be delivered to Landlord on or before July 31, 2009 (the Plans Due Date), provided that Tenant promptly furnishes complete information concerning its requirements to said architect and engineers as and when requested by them. Tenant covenants and agrees to cause said final, approved Plans to be delivered to Landlord on or before said Plans Due Date and to devote such time as may be necessary in consultation with said architect and engineers to enable them to complete and submit the Plans within the required time limit. Time is of the essence in respect of preparation and submission of Plans by Tenant. If the Plans are not fully completed and approved by the Plans Due Date, Tenant shall be responsible for one (1) day of Tenant Delay (as defined in the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached) for each day during the period beginning on the day following the Plans Due Date and ending on the date completed Plans are approved. (The word architect as used in this Exhibit shall include an interior designer or space planner.) | |
3. | If Landlords estimate and/or the actual cost of construction shall exceed the Allowance, Landlord, prior to commencing any construction of Landlord Work, shall submit to Tenant a written estimate setting forth the anticipated cost of the Landlord Work, including but not limited to labor and materials, contractors fees and permit fees. Within three (3) Business Days thereafter, Tenant shall either notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify its objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed Landlord Work. If Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant shall work with Landlord to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost estimate. | |
4. | If Landlords estimate and/or the actual cost of construction (which cost shall include a construction management fee payable to Landlord equivalent to four percent (4%) of the actual cost of construction) shall exceed the Allowance, if any (such amounts exceeding the Allowance being herein referred to as the Excess Costs), Landlord shall, at Tenants election, provide to Tenant an amount up to the Amortized TI Costs for the Landlord Work in accordance with Section 1.03 of the Lease. Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of all costs for the Landlord Work in excess of the Allowance and Amortized TI Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon thirty (30) days written notice. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlords contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the actual cost of the items described therein. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes an event of default under the Lease. Any portion of the Allowance and/or Amortized TI Costs unused as of May 31, 2010 will be forfeited and will not be refunded to Tenant or be available to Tenant as a credit against any obligations of Tenant under the Lease. | |
5. | If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of the Plans after approval by Landlord, Landlord shall have such revisions to the drawings prepared, and if such change, addition, or alteration causes the cost of the Landlord Work to exceed the collective amount of the Allowance and Amortized TI Costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon demand. Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or deletion. Tenant, within one (1) Business Day, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such change, addition or deletion. In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the requested change, addition or alteration, or Landlord may elect to discontinue work on the Premises until it receives notice of Tenants decision, in which event |
EXHIBIT C
-1-
Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant Delay in completion of the Premises resulting therefrom. If such revisions result in a higher estimate of the cost of construction and/or higher actual construction costs which exceed the Allowance and Amortized TI Costs, such increased estimate or costs shall be deemed Excess Costs pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof and Tenant shall pay such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon demand. | ||
6, | Following approval of the Plans and the payment by Tenant of the required portion of the Excess Costs, if any, Landlord shall cause the Landlord Work to be constructed substantially in accordance with the approved Plans. Landlord shall notify Tenant of substantial completion of the Landlord Work. | |
7. | Landlord, at Landlords sole cost and expense, provided Tenant is not in default, agrees to provide Tenant with an allowance (the Allowance) in an amount not to exceed $154,737.00 (i.e., $11.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) to be applied toward the cost of the Landlord Work in the Premises. If the Allowance shall not be sufficient to complete the Landlord Work, Tenant shall have the option to either (a) pay the Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, or (b) apply such Excess Costs against the Amortized TI costs, as prescribed in Paragraph 4 above. | |
Landlord, at Landlords sole cost and expense, provided Tenant is not in default, agrees to provide Tenant with an additional allowance (FF&E Allowance) in an amount not to exceed Seventy Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($70,000.00) for the purchase and installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment (collectively, Fixtures) to be located in the Premises. Any portion of the FF&E Allowance unused as of May 31, 2010 will be forfeited and will not be refunded to Tenant or be available to Tenant as a credit against any obligations of Tenant under the Lease. | ||
8. | Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord Work may be performed by Landlord in and about the Premises during normal business hours subsequent to the Commencement Date while Tenant Is in occupancy of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that some interruptions and/or interference with Tenants business may occur during the course of the Landlord Work, but agrees that no interruptions or inconveniences to Tenant or its business suffered as a result of the Landlord Work shall excuse Tenant from paying full Rent or constitute an eviction of Tenant from the Premises, whether constructive or otherwise. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to enable the Landlord Work to be performed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to the operation of Tenants business as is reasonably possible. Such cooperation by Tenant shall include, without limitation, disconnecting computers, removing personal items, emptying desks and filing cabinets, moving, packing, and/or other temporary relocation of furniture and fixtures within the Premises at Tenants expense. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Landlord Work or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the performance of the Landlord Work shall not delay the Commencement Date nor shall it subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of Rent or other sums payable under the Lease. If the Landlord Work is performed after Tenants business hours at Tenants direction, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the additional costs, if any, to perform the Landlord Work after business hours. | |
9. | This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease. | |
10. | Tenant shall either use union labor or hereby indemnifies, protects and holds Landlord harmless from and against all costs and expenses (including loss of rents) due to work stoppage which may be related to the use by Tenant of non-union labor. Tenant shall either use union labor or hereby indemnifies, protects and holds Landlord harmless from and against all costs and expenses (including loss of rents) due to work stoppage which may be related to the use by Tenant of non-union labor. |

33. Early Entry. Notwithstanding the fact that the Lease Term has not commenced, Landlord agrees to permit Tenant to enter the Premises upon mutual execution of the Lease in order to commence the installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment. Such entry shall be subject to all of the conditions set forth in this paragraph below. Such early entry is conditioned upon Tenant and its contractors, employees, agents and invitees working in harmony and not interfering with Landlord and its contractors and Landlord may immediately terminate such early entry in the event of any such interference. Tenant agrees that any such early entry is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except for those relating to the payment of Rent and other recurring monetary obligations which have a specific commencement time, which provisions will become applicable in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such early occupancy shall be conditioned upon Tenant first delivering to Landlord the items described in Section 15 of this Lease and Tenant shall be specifically bound by the terms of Sections 4 (Use), 14 (Indemnification) and 15 (Insurance) of this Lease during such early entry period.
34. Building Signage. Except as provided below, Tenant shall not place anywhere on the Premises or Development any exterior signs or advertisements nor any interior signs or advertisements that are visible from the exterior of the Building, without Landlords prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. The cost of installation and maintenance of any approved signs shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. At the end of the Term, Tenant shall remove all its signs and damage caused by the removal shall be repaired at Tenants expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to install one (1) line on the Building lobby directory sign, one (1) suite identification sign, one (1) panel on the Development monument sign, and one (1) non-exclusive building sign on the Building corner facing Highway 237 in a location to be designated and approved by Landlord (as applicable, the Building Sign) (collectively, Tenants Signs). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be entitled to install Tenants Signs if: (a) Tenant has previously assigned its interest in the Lease to an entity other than a Permitted Transferee, (b) Tenant has previously sublet more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises to an entity other than a Permitted Transferee, or (c) Tenant is in default under any monetary or material non-monetary provision of the Lease beyond any applicable cure period. Furthermore, Tenants right to install Tenants Signs is expressly subject to and contingent upon Tenant receiving the approval and consent to such Tenants Signs from the City of San Jose, California, its architectural review board, any other applicable governmental or quasi-governmental governmental agency and any architectural review committee under the covenants, conditions and restrictions recorded against the Development (if and to the extent applicable). Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant in its efforts to obtain such approval at no material cost to Landlord.
All costs of approval, consent, design, construction, installation, wiring, maintaining, repairing and removing Tenants Signs (as applicable) will be at Tenants sole cost and expense. Tenant shall submit to Landlord reasonably detailed drawings of its proposed Tenants Signs, including without limitation, the size, material, shape, location, coloring and lettering for review and approval by Landlord. Tenants Signs shall be subject to (i) Landlords prior review and written approval thereof, (ii) the terms, conditions and restrictions of any recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions encumbering the Development and/or the Building, and (iii) shall conform to the Building sign criteria and Development sign criteria, if any, and the other reasonable standards of design and motif established by Landlord. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any damage to Tenants Signs not caused by any negligence or misconduct of Landlord. All signage rights granted to Tenant under this section shall be personal to Tenant executing this Lease and Tenant shall not have the right to assign or sublease Tenants rights under this section to any transferee other than a Permitted Transferee.
Tenant agrees upon the expiration date or sooner termination of the Lease to remove Tenants Signs and restore any damage to the Building and the Development caused by such removal, at Tenants expense. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to remove Tenants Signs at Tenants sole cost and expense, if, at any time during the Term: (i) Tenant assigns this Lease town entity other than a Permitted Transferee, (ii) Tenant sublets more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises to an entity other than a Permitted Transferee, or (iii) Tenant is in default under any term or condition of the Lease beyond any applicable cure period.
35. Option to Extend.
35.01 Subject to the terms of this Section 35, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option (the Extension Option) to extend the Term of this Lease with respect to the entire Premises and only the entire Premises for one (1) additional period of three (3) years (the Option Term), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided for in this Lease during the initial Lease Term, except that (i) Tenant shall have no further extension rights, and (ii) all economic terms such as, without limitation, Base Rent, parking charges, etc., shall be established based on the fair market rental rate for the Premises for the Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 35 below.
EXHIBIT E
-1-
35.02 The Extension Option must be exercised, if at all by written notice (Extension Notice) delivered by Tenant to Landlord no earlier than the date which is one (1) year, and no later than the date which is nine (9) months, prior to the expiration of the then current Term of this Lease.
35.03 The term fair market rental rate as used in this Lease shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot, projected during the relevant period, that a willing, comparable, non-equity, renewal tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing, institutional landlord of a comparable Class A quality office/R&D building located within a two (2) mile radius of the Development as well as in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and North San Jose (collectively, the Comparison Area) would accept, at arms length (what Landlord is accepting in current transactions for the Building and Development may be considered), for space comparable in size, quality and floor height as the leased area at issue taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the leased area at issue and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers in the Comparison Area customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, office space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, operating expenses and allowance, parking charges, and any other economic matters then being reasonably charged by Landlord or the lessors of such similar office buildings. In no event will Base Rent decrease from that payable in the last year of the original Lease Term as a result of the fair market rental rate determination provided for in this Section 35.
35.04 Landlords determination of fair market rental rate shall be delivered to Tenant in writing not later than thirty (30) days following Landlords receipt of Tenants Extension Notice. Tenant will have thirty (30) days (Tenants Review Period) after receipt of Landlords notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to object thereto in writing. Tenants failure to object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenants Review Period will conclusively be deemed Tenants approval and acceptance thereof. If Tenant objects to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord within Tenants Review Period, then Landlord and Tenant will attempt in good faith to agree upon such fair market rental rate using their commercially reasonable good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fall to reach agreement on such fair market determination within thirty (30) days following the expiration of Tenants Review Period (the Outside Agreement Date), then the Extension Option shall be void and of no force or effect, unless within ten (10) days following the Outside Agreement Date, Tenant demands appraisal in accordance with the following, in which event Landlord and Tenant shall submit their respective good faith determinations of fair market for the Premises for the relevant period of time to appraisal in accordance with the provisions below.
(a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one independent, unaffiliated real estate broker (referred to herein as an appraiser even though only a broker) who has been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of Class A office space in the Comparison Area. Each such appraiser will be appointed within thirty (30) days after the Outside Agreement Date.
(b) The two (2) appraisers so appointed will within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed appraiser agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth herein above for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers.
(c) The determination of the appraisers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlords or Tenants last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) new Base Rent for the Premises (i.e., as part of the overall determination of the market base rental rate) is the closest to the actual new Base Rent for the Premises as determined by the appraisers, taking into account the requirements of Section 35.03 and this Section 35.05 regarding same.
(d) The three (3) appraisers shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlords or Tenants submitted new Base Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
(e) The decision of the majority of the three (3) appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party will have the right to reject the determination or undo the exercise of the Extension Option. The cost of each partys appraiser shall be the responsibility of the party selecting such appraiser, and the cost of the third appraiser (or arbitration, if necessary) shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
(f) If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period in Section 35.05(a) herein above, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof and such appraisers decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party will have the right to reject the determination or undo the exercise of the Extension Option.
(g) If the two (2) appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, both appraisers shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to binding arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association.
(h) In the event that the new Base Rent is not established prior to end of the initial Term of the Lease, the Base Rent immediately payable at the commencement of the Option Term shall be the Base Rent determined by Landlord. Notwithstanding the above, once the fair market rental rate is determined in accordance with this section, the parties shall settle any overpayment on the next Base Rent payment date falling not less than thirty (30) days after such determination.
EXHIBIT E
-2-
(i) The Extension Option is personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease and may be exercised only by the original Tenant executing this Lease while occupying the entire Premises and without the intent of thereafter assigning this Lease or subletting the Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by any person or entity other than the original Tenant executing this Lease, except with respect to Permitted Transferees. The Extension Option is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may the Extension Option be separated from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.
(j) Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Extension Option, notwithstanding any provision of the grant of Extension Option to the contrary, and Tenants exercise of the Extension Option may be nullified by Landlord and deemed of no further force or effect, if (i) Tenant shall be in default of any monetary obligation or material non-monetary obligation under the terms of this Lease as of Tenants exercise of the Extension Option or at any time after the exercise of such Extension Option and prior to the commencement of the Extension Option event, or (ii) Landlord has given Tenant two (2) or more notices of default, whether or not such defaults are subsequently cured, during the twelve (12) month period prior to Tenants exercise of the Extension Option.
