LEASE AGREEMENT

This LEASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Landlord and Tenant as of the Lease Date, Terms that are not defined in the body of this Lease shall have the meanings set forth in the preceding Lease Summary (the “Summary”). The Summary, this Lease Agreement, and all Exhibits attached hereto, are and shall be construed as a single instrument, and are collectively referred to herein as this “Lease.” If there is any conflict between this Lease Agreement and the Summary or any Exhibits hereto, the provisions of this Lease Agreement shall control, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in any Exhibit.

 

1. PREMISES

 

  1.1 LEASE OF PREMISES

Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, for the Term and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right during the Term, in common with all other persons permitted use thereof by Landlord, to use the Common Areas (as hereinafter defined), except that with respect to the Parking Facility Tenant shall have only those rights, if any, set forth in the Summary and in Article 31. The term “Common Areas” means all areas and facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary line of the Project that are, from time to time, provided and designated by Landlord for the non-exclusive use of Landlord, Tenant, other tenants of the Project and their respective employees, guests and invitees.

 

  1.2 DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES

 

  (a) Description of Premises

The approximate dimensions and general location of the Premises are depicted on the Floor Plan. The rentable square footage of the Premises and of the Building has been determined by Landlord in accordance with BOMA's Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings (ANSI/BOMA Z.65.1-1996), as modified by Landlord for uniform use in the Building (the “BOMA Modified Standard”). Except to the extent expressly contemplated in Section 4.8, the square footage figures contained in this Lease shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties acknowledge that the general expressions “rentable square feet,” “RSF’ and “Rentable Area,” as used in this Lease, refer to the determination of rentable square footage in accordance with the BOMA Modified Standard.

 

  (b) Condition of Premises Upon Delivery

Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is leasing the Premises in “as-is, where is” condition, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to make or pay for any improvements therein, except to the extent expressly provided in the Tenant Improvement Agreement (the “Improvement Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit B. Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or improve the Premises or any portion thereof. No representation or warranty, express or implied, has been made by Landlord or any Landlord Party with respect to the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project, the suitability of the Premises, the Building or the Project for Tenant’s particular use, or any other conditions which may affect Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, the Building or Project. No rights to any view or to light or air over the Project or any other property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease.

 

2. TERM

 

  2.1 COMMENCEMENT

The Term shall commence on the later of the following dates (the “Commencement Date”): (a) the Target Commencement Date, and (b) the earlier of (i) the first business day following the date Landlord gives Notice to Tenant that Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete; or (ii) the date Tenant first

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

conducts business in the Premises. If the Commencement Date is different than the Target Commencement Date, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a Commencement Date Agreement (the “Commencement Date Agreement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit C, confirming the actual Commencement Date, the actual Expiration Date, and such other terms as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant shall execute and return the Commencement Date Agreement to Landlord with ten (10) days following delivery thereof to Tenant; however, the Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire on the Expiration Date irrespective of whether the Commencement Date Agreement is actually executed or delivered by Tenant.

 

  2.2 DELIVERY OF PREMISES

 

  (a) Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises to Tenant with the improvements required by the Improvement Agreement substantially complete (as that term is defined in the Improvement Agreement), on the Commencement Date, and, subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall accept delivery of the Premises, which acceptance shall, subject to the terms of Section 2.2(b) below, constitute agreement by Tenant that the Premises are in the condition required by this Lease. This Lease shall not be void or voidable, no obligation of Tenant shall be affected, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any Claims arising out of or resulting from any failure of Landlord to Substantially Complete Landlord’s Work or to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date. If because of any Tenant Delay (as defined in the Improvement Agreement), Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work or delivery of the Premises to Tenant occurs after the Target Commencement Date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the Base Rent, calculated on a per diem basis without giving effect to any period of rent abatement (the “Interim Rent”), multiplied by the number of days of Tenant Delay. Accrued Interim Rent due to Tenant Delay shall be due and payable within ten (10) days following Landlord’s invoice therefor.

 

  (b) Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises shall constitute the agreement of Tenant that the Premises are in the condition required by the Lease, subject to punchlist items relating to Landlord’s Work as specified by Tenant in a Notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such acceptance, and that subject to completion of such punchlist items (and any latent defects to the extent provided below) Tenant waives any and all defects therein. Landlord shall correct and complete the items on such punchlist promptly after such Notice from Tenant, in such manner as shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct by Tenant of its business operations in the Premises. Landlord shall repair any latent defects to the Premises which are reported by Tenant to Landlord within six (6) months of the Commencement Date.

 

  2.3 EARLY OCCUPANCY

If Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete prior to the Target Commencement Date, upon written request from Tenant, Landlord will grant Tenant early access to the Premises (the “Early Occupancy Date”); provided, however, the Early Occupancy Date shall not occur less than five (5) days following such Notice from subject to Tenant’s delivery of evidence of insurance satisfying the requirements of this Lease) for the purpose of enabling Tenant and its agents, employees and contractors to install in the Premises Tenant’s Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises (subject to the terms of this Lease), and to complete the physical relocation of Tenant’s files, books, records, papers and miscellaneous furnishings to the Premises. All of the terms of this Lease shall be binding on and apply to Tenant during such early occupancy period, except that Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent shall commence (subject to the Base Rent Abatement provided in Section 3.3), on the Target Commencement Date.

3. RENT

 

  3.1 PAYMENTS OF BASE RENT AND EXPENSE INCREASES

All monthly installments of Base Rent and Tenant’ s Share of estimated Expense Increases shall be payable to Landlord in advance, on or before the first day of each calendar month of the Term, without any invoice, Notice or other demand therefor, and without any abatement, deduction, credit or offset whatsoever. Any Rent which is not received by Landlord by the date due shall be deemed to be late, and any Rent which is not received by Landlord within five (5) days following the date due shall be subject to late charges and interest as provided in Sections 3.4 and 3.5, respectively. All sums of money required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are deemed to be obligations in the nature of rent whether or not such obligations are expressly so designated, and are collectively referred to herein as “Rent.” All Rent other than Base Rent is sometimes referred to herein as “Additional Rent.” Except for Base Rent and Expense Increases (which are payable as described above), and late charges and interest (which are payable as described in Sections 3.4 and 3.5), all Rent is due and payable within ten (10) days following Landlord’s invoice therefor. All Rent shall be paid by check in lawful money of the United States of America to Landlord (or to any other Person designated by Landlord in a Notice to Tenant) at Landlord’s Address for Payment of Rent. No payment shall be made in cash. Tenant shall not pay any Rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of Landlord and any Superior Interest Holder of which Tenant has notice and whose consent to such payment is required. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, in addition to any interest and late charges payable by Tenant, the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each check that is returned to Landlord for non-sufficient funds or which is otherwise dishonored. If any check of Tenant’s is dishonored, any or all subsequent payments of Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, be made by certified check or other form of guaranteed payment acceptable to Landlord.

 

  3.2 ACCEPTANCE OF RENT

For purposes of determining whether any payment of Rent is late, whether any late charge or interest is payable, or whether any Event of Default with respect to the payment of Rent has occurred, any payment of Rent to shall be deemed to have been made as of the date the Landlord actually receives such payment, provided the payment is not dishonored for any reason. If such payment is dishonored for any reason, such payment shall not be deemed to have been made until the date Landlord receives such payment in good funds. Tenant waives any right to specify the items against which any Rent paid is to be credited, and Landlord may apply such payments to any Rent due or past due under the Lease. No writing on any check, or statement in any letter or other document accompanying any payment of Rent from Tenant, and no acceptance by Landlord of less than the full amount of Rent owing, shall effect any accord and satisfaction. Any such partial payment shall be treated as a payment on account, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover any balance due or to pursue any other remedy permitted by this Lease, Accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Uniform Commercial Code §3311 (and any similar Law which would permit an accord and satisfaction contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.2). No payment, receipt or acceptance of Rent following (a) any Event of Default; (b) termination of this Lease or the entry of judgment against Tenant for possession of the Premises; or (c) the exercise of any other remedy by Landlord, shall cure the Event of Default, reinstate the Lease, grant any relief from forfeiture, continue or extend the Term, or otherwise affect Landlord’s right to or exercise of any remedy, including Landlord’s right to terminate the Lease and recover possession of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing constitutes actual notice to Tenant, and Tenant’s waiver of any benefit, of the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§1161.1(b) and (c).

 

  3.3 BASE RENT ABATEMENT FOLLOWING DEFAULT

 

  (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 3.3, Landlord grants to Tenant the Base Rent Abatement, which is deemed applicable and credited against the Base Rent due commencing as of the Commencement Date.

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

12


  (b) Tenant acknowledges that the Base Rent Abatement is being granted to Tenant in consideration of the timely and faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms and conditions of the Lease throughout the entire Term. Therefore, Tenant agrees that if an Event of Default is declared under this Lease (that is not cured within the time periods provided in Article 23), (a) all portions of the Base Rent Abatement credited to Tenant prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default shall become due and payable to Landlord upon demand; and (b) from and after the occurrence of such Event of Default, the Base Rent shall be payable by Tenant as if no Base Rent Abatement had been contemplated in this Lease. No such recapture by Landlord of the Base Rent Abatement shall constitute a waiver of any default of Tenant or any election of remedies by Landlord.

 

  3.4 LATE CHARGES

If any payment of Rent is not received by Landlord within five (5) days after such Rent is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in lieu of actual damages, a late charge equal to the greater of (a) Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), or (b) ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount, and the parties agree that such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the expenses that Landlord will incur because of any late payment of Rent, the exact amount of which are unascertainable and difficult to prove. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s failure to timely perform certain non-monetary obligations required under this Lease is likely to cause Landlord to suffer substantial economic injury, which injury may include the loss of Landlord’s ability to sell or finance the Project (or to sell or finance the Project for a favorable price or at a favorable interest rate), or claims that Landlord defaulted under the terms of any agreement to sell or finance the Project (where such sale or financing is conditioned upon the state of title or the delivery of certain documents from Tenant). Therefore, if Tenant fails to (a) provide any Estoppels Certificate, financial statements, or SNDA in the manner and within the time required under Articles 21 and 20, and Section 22.2, respectively; or (b) remove any lien in the manner and within the time required under Section 9.5, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, a late charge equal to One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day, commencing on the date following the last day permitted for such performance and continuing until such time as such obligation has been fully satisfied. Landlord and Tenant agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of additional administrative expenses that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late performance of such obligations, the exact amount of which are unascertainable and difficult to prove. Landlord and Tenant further acknowledge that the late charges described in this Section do not include interest under Section 3.5, or attorney fees and costs under Section 32.1, all of which are recoverable by Landlord in addition to each late charge. No acceptance by Landlord of any late charge shall constitute an election of remedies or a waiver of any default by Tenant with respect to the payment of any Rent or the performance of any other obligation, nor shall it stop Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies available under the Law or expressly provided for in this Lease. Any late charge incurred by Tenant shall be due and payable, as Additional Rent, with the next installment of Base Rent payable following the date such late charge is incurred. Landlord’s acceptance of any liquidated damages shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default by Tenant, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease.

 

  3.5 INTEREST

Any Rent not received by Landlord within five (5) days of the due date shall accrue interest, payable as Additional Rent, from the date such Rent was due through the date paid. Such interest shall be calculated monthly, and shall be payable at a rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the greater of: (a) two percent (2%) over the prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal as the base rate charged by the nation’s largest banks on corporate loans as of the date such Rent payment was due; or (b) eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall not be charged on late charges or accrued interest, and the aggregate liability for any interest accruing under this Lease shall not exceed the limits, if any, imposed by applicable Laws. Any interest paid in excess of such limits shall be credited to Tenant by application of the amount of excess interest paid against any outstanding Rent

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

13


obligations in any order that Landlord elects. If the amount of excess interest paid exceeds the amount of outstanding Rent, such excess portion shall be refunded to Tenant by Landlord. To ascertain whether any interest payable exceeds the limits imposed, any non-principal payment (including late charges) shall be considered to the extent permitted by Law to be an expense or a fee, premium or penalty, rather than interest.

  4.6 TAX EXPENSES

 

  (a) Included and Excluded Costs

“Tax Expenses” means all taxes, assessments, excises, fees, levies, impositions and charges, of every kind, imposed on the use or ownership of the Project or any part thereof, including all special, general or supplemental assessments, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, and all other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority having the direct or indirect power to tax (including all sales, use, rent, gross receipts or similar taxes now or hereafter imposed or assessed against Landlord by any taxing authority against Landlord’s receipt of any Rent payable under the Lease), and whether the amounts of such Tax Expenses are determined (a) by the area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof; (b) upon any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project; (c) in connection with the creation or transfer of any interest in the Project, or as a result of any construction, improvement or renovation performed at the Project; or (d) by any other method of valuation. The term “Tax Expenses” also includes legal and consultants’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Tax Expenses, and Landlord reserves the right, but has no obligation, to contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount or validity thereof. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June, 1978 election and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by Governmental Authorities for such purposes as fire protection, street, sidewalk, road and utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal, and for other governmental services which may formerly have been provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and that it is the intention of the parties that all new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges, irrespective of their purpose, are included within the term “Tax Expenses”. The term “Tax Expenses” does not include (x) any amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of Section 4.9; or (y) any of Landlord’s federal or state income, capital stock, estate, succession, inheritance or franchise taxes, unless such taxes are levied, assessed or imposed in lieu of or as a substitute for any amounts which would otherwise constitute Tax Expenses under this Lease.

 

  (b) Effect of Proposition 8 Reductions

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year shall be calculated without taking into account any decrease in real estate taxes obtained in the Base Year or, retroactively, in any Comparison Year pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections51 (a “Proposition 8 Reduction”). However, subject to the terms of Section4.7, Tax Expenses for any Comparison Year shall be calculated by taking into account any Proposition 8 Reduction applicable to said Comparison Year(s). Therefore, Tenant acknowledges that, under certain limited circumstances where Landlord obtains a Proposition 8 Reduction for a Comparison Year (or the Base Year), Tax Expenses for the year in which said reduction is applicable may be greater than those actually incurred by Landlord, and may be passed through in subsequent Comparison Years if and to the extent actually incurred by Landlord.

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

  4.7 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES

 

  (a) Estimated Additional Rent Payments and Reconciliation Statements

Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses attributable to each Comparison Year, to the extent each of such expense categories exceeds Base Operating Expenses and Base Tax Expenses, respectively (the “Expense Increases”), and each Expense Category shall be treated separately for the purpose of making such determinations. Landlord shall give Notice to Tenant of the estimated Expense Increases for each Expense Category in each Comparison Year; provided, however, Landlord shall have the right to revise any of such estimates at any time and from time to time throughout the Term. Commencing on the first day of the first Comparison Year, and thereafter on the first day of each month during the Term, Tenant shall pay one-twelfth of Tenant’s Share of the estimated Expense Increase for each Expense Category (each such payment, an “Expense Payment”). Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Comparison Year, or as soon thereafter as such information has been reconciled and compiled by Landlord, Landlord shall provide Tenant a statement (each, a “Reconciliation Statement”) showing the actual Expense Increases for the prior Comparison Year in each Expense Category. If the total amount of Expense Payments made by Tenant for estimated Expense Increases in the prior Comparison Year is less than Tenant’s Share of the actual Expense Increases for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum within ninety (90) days following the date of the Reconciliation Statement. Any overpayment by Tenant of any Expense Increases in any Expense Category for the prior Comparison Year shall, at Landlord’s option, either be credited to Expense Increases next due from Tenant, or returned to Tenant in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Reconciliation Statement. Each Reconciliation Statement furnished by Landlord to Tenant shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless, within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof, Tenant gives Notice to Landlord that Tenant disputes the correctness of such Reconciliation Statement, specifying the particular respects in which such Reconciliation statement is claimed to be incorrect. Such Notice shall be deemed ineffective unless Tenant has timely paid, and pending the determination of any such dispute continues to timely make all Expense Payments in accordance with the terms of the disputed Reconciliation Statement, which payments shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s position. The obligations set forth in this Section 4.7 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. No failure by Landlord to timely submit Reconciliation Statements or revised estimates of Expense Increases, or to timely bill all or any portion of Tenant’s Share of any Expense Increases, shall constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to make such estimates or reconciliations and to bill Tenant for and collect such amounts at any time thereafter. Tenant shall not be entitled to any reduction, refund, offset, allowance or rebate in any Rent due hereunder if Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses for any Comparison Year are less than Base Operating Expenses or Base Tax Expenses, respectively.

 

  (b) Audit Rights

Provided that Tenant has timely disputed the correctness of a Reconciliation Statement as provided in Section 4.7(a) above, and provided no Event of Default shall then be declared under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, during the one (1) year period following delivery of a Reconciliation Statement, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to review in Landlord’s offices Landlord’s records of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes for the subject calendar year covered by the Reconciliation Statement. Such review shall be carried out only by a reputable national accounting firm and not by any other person, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable audit procedures. No person conducting such an audit shall be compensated on a “contingency” or other incentive basis. If within such one (1) year period, Tenant conducts an audit and delivers to Landlord a written statement specifying objections to

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

17


such Reconciliation Statement (an “Objection Statement”), then Tenant and Landlord shall meet to attempt to resolve such objection within ten (10) days after delivery of the objection statement. If such objection is not resolved with such ten (10) day period, then either party shall have the right, at any time within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period to require that the dispute be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If neither Landlord nor Tenant commences an arbitration proceeding within such sixty (60) day period, then the Reconciliation Statement in question shall be final and binding on Tenant. If no Objection Notice is delivered to Landlord within said one (1) year period, the Reconciliation Statement in question shall be deemed final and binding on Tenant. Notwithstanding that any such dispute remains unresolved, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord all amounts payable in accordance with this Article 4 (including any disputed amount). If such dispute results in an agreement or an arbitrator’s determination that Tenant is entitled to a refund, Landlord shall, at its option, either pay such refund or credit the amount thereof to the Base Rent next becoming due from Tenant, in either case with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. If Tenant’s dispute is resolved in favor of Tenant and it is determined that the Reconciliation Statement overstated Expenses for the year in question by ten percent (10%) or more, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of Tenant’s independent accountant in performing the audit provided for in this paragraph. The audit and arbitration procedures set forth in this Section 4.7(b) shall be Tenant’s exclusive remedy with respect to the resolution of disputes of amounts due under this Article 4.

 

  4.8 GROSS UP; OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

 

  (a) Determination of Tenant’s Share

Tenant’s Share has been determined by taking the quotient arrived at by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises provided in the Summary by the number of the rentable square feet of the Building, each determined by Landlord in accordance with Landlord’s uniform application of the BOMA Modified Standard in the measurement of tenant space in the Building, and multiplying said quotient by 100. For purposes of this Section 4.6, the RSF of the Building as of the Lease Date is 53,495. Landlord may adjust Tenant’s Share from time to time, prospectively, to reflect any remeasurement by Landlord of substantially all of the Building, or any additions to or deletions from the rentable area of the Building or the Project, determined by using the BOMA Modified Standard; provided, however, no such adjustment shall operate to increase Base Rent.

 

  (b) Based on Occupancy and Use

Expenses that vary with the rate of occupancy and that are attributable to the Base Year or any Comparison Year in which less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Rentable Area of the Building or Project is occupied, will be adjusted by Landlord to the amount that Landlord reasonably calculates such Expenses would have been if one hundred percent (100%) of the Rentable Area of the Building or Project had been occupied. Expenses as so adjusted shall be deemed, for the purposes of determining any amount payable as Tenant’s Share, to be the actual Expenses for such period. Landlord may also equitably adjust Tenant’s Share for all or part of any Expense that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that is provided on an excess basis to the Premises, or that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Building or Project. By way of example, to the extent any increase in Tax Expenses is attributable to any Premises Improvements, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) bill Tenant directly for such amounts as Additional Rent in lieu of including such amounts as a portion of the Expense Increases for Tax Expenses. Expense Increases payable by Tenant for the Comparison Year in which the Lease expires shall be prorated on the number of days in such Comparison Year falling within the Term, based on the actual number of days in such year.

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

18


  (c) Other Adjustments

The parties acknowledge that certain uncontrollable Expenses can result in artificially high or low Base Year or Comparison Year Expenses to the detriment of both parties. The parties therefore agree that (i) for the purpose of determining the amount of Utilities Expenses incurred in the Base Year, the amounts deemed to have been paid or incurred by Landlord for Utilities services shall be calculated as though there were no Utility rate increases imposed during or prior to the Base Year due to extraordinary circumstances including conservation surcharges, boycotts, embargoes or shortages; and (ii) for the purpose of determining the amount of Insurance Expenses, no Landlord Deductible Amounts shall be included (or be deemed to have been included) in Insurance Expenses in the Base Year. To the extent any Expenses relate to both the Project and one or more other properties, such Expenses shall be allocated between the Project and such other property or properties in a manner determined by Landlord to be equitable and appropriate.

 

  4.9 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES

Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay on or prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon Tenant’s Property. If any of Tenant’s Property is taxed or assessed with the Project, Landlord may pay the taxing authority all amounts billed to Landlord as a result thereof and Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to, determine the validity of any such assessment or otherwise object thereto. Tenant shall pay all such amounts to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days following Landlord’s invoice therefor. To the extent any such amounts are not included by Landlord in Tax Expenses, Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, any (a) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease; (b) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Parking Facilities; or (c) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

 

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

  (a)

The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease. Any pledge, transfer or other encumbrance by Tenant of Tenant’s interest in the Security Deposit shall be null and void. Landlord may retain, use or apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to compensate Landlord for any expense, loss or damage suffered or expected to be suffered by Landlord as a result of any defaults by Tenant under this Lease, including any amounts Landlord is obligated or elects to spend in order to cure any such defaults. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code § 1950.7 (which restricts application of a security deposit only to those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean premises) and all similar Laws now in force or subsequently adopted which restrict application of security deposits to specific purposes. If all or any portion of the Security Deposit is so applied by Landlord, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following demand by Landlord, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the original amount plus any increased amounts as required by this Lease. If Tenant fails to timely restore the Security Deposit, Landlord shall have the right to increase the Security Deposit amount to 200% of the maximum monthly Base Rent amount payable under this Lease during the Term. Landlord’s application of all or any portion of the Security Deposit to any obligation of Tenant hereunder shall not limit Landlord’s damages or constitute a waiver by Landlord of any claims against or obligations of Tenant, other than the specific monetary obligations to which the Security Deposit is applied, and then only to the extent such obligations are. thereby satisfied. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

19

Any request for consent to Alterations shall be accompanied by detailed plans and specifications prepared by a duly licensed architect or engineer. Without limiting the generality of the terms of Section 9.1 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to approve (i) all of the plans and specifications for the Alterations, (ii) the architect and engineer(s), as applicable, engaged by Tenant to design and supervise the Alterations, (iii) the general contractor engaged by Tenant to construct the Alterations (which Landlord may condition on the selection of one or more contractors from Landlord’s approved list of contractors for the Building), and (iv) the construction contract for the Alterations.

  construction of the Alterations from time to time.

Landlord shall have the right to require work on the Alterations to cease if Landlord determines that the Alterations are not being constructed in accordance with the construction contract or plans or specifications approved by Landlord, or any applicable law or building code, or the terms of this Lease. If any such failures exist, such stop work order shall be deemed to have been issued with just cause. In such case, the work shall be stopped until such violations are rectified to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction. Landlord agrees that if it issues any stop work order and Tenant or the genera! contractor disputes the existence of any legitimate grounds therefor, such dispute shall be resolved as promptly as reasonably feasible by mediation or arbitration and if it is determined in such procedure (and any appeals thereof) that Landlord has issued the stop work order without just cause, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant and the general contractor for all costs and expenses that are caused by Landlord’s stop work order.

 

  (b) In addition, Landlord may condition its consent to any Alterations on the requirement that Tenant provide Landlord with a surety bond, letter of credit, or other financial assurance to ensure that the Alterations will be promptly completed, that all costs of the Alterations will be fully and timely paid, and that Landlord will be protected from any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens. If, following Tenant’s request, Landlord agrees to engage the contractors to perform the Alterations for the account of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance and prior to commencement of any work, the full cost of such Alterations, as evidenced by Landlord’s estimated costs, and Landlord shall be irrevocably authorized to credit such funds against the cost of said work and all permitted fees chargeable by Landlord in accordance with this Article 9.

Tenant shall not employ or permit the employment of any contractor, subcontractor or laborer in the Premises if it is reasonably foreseeable that such employment will cause conflict or interference with other contractors, subcontractors or laborers engaged in the performance of work at the Project. In the event of any such interference or conflict, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall require all contractors, subcontractors or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Project immediately.

Landlord may, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, require a deposit of its estimated fees in advance of performing any review. Neither the payment of any such fees or costs, nor the monitoring, administration or control by Landlord of any contractor or any part of the Alterations shall be deemed to constitute any express or implied warranty or representation that any Alteration was properly designed or constructed, nor shall it create any liability on the part of Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that such monitoring, administration or control by Landlord, if any, and the payment of any such fees or costs, is solely for the benefit of Landlord and the Project. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings in connection with any Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability to Tenant on the part of Landlord or Landlord’s consultants for the design sufficiency of such plans, or their compliance with any Laws.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord determines that any Communications Pathways in the Building are inadequate to accommodate any Telecommunications Equipment and/or Wiring proposed by Tenant (when considered along with the existing or prospective needs of other occupants and users of the Building), Landlord may condition Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Telecommunications Equipment and/or Wiring on the construction of additional Communications Pathways as required by Landlord at Tenant’s expense.

Only Landlord and/or a licensed telecommunications service provider approved by Landlord (and performing such work as the agent of Tenant) is authorized to install and/or connect additional telecommunications lines (including, voice, data, video, cable and other) from the MPOE and/or the IDF. Any such work performed at the request of Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any direct damages to the telecommunications cabling and wiring in the Building due to the act (negligent or otherwise) of Tenant or any employee, agent or contractor of Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for any damages if Tenant’s telecommunications services and/or equipment are in any way interrupted, damaged or otherwise interfered with, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful or criminal misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees; provided that in no event shall any such interruption, damage or interference entitle Tenant to any consequential damages (including damages for loss of business) or relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. No Telecommunications Equipment installed by or for Tenant shall create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable, or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation. Tenant shall at all times operate all Telecommunications Equipment in accordance with all applicable laws, including Laws relating to frequency interference.

Any of Tenant’s Property not removed from the Project by Tenant as required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be retained, used, stored, removed or disposed of by Landlord as Landlord sees fit in the exercise of its sole discretion, and Tenant waives all Claims against Landlord resulting therefrom.

  13.2 NO TRANSFER WITHOUT CONSENT; STANDARDS

Tenant shall not make or permit to be effected any Transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed sublease or assignment; however, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, withhold consent to any other Transfer (including any assignment by Tenant of any security interest in this Lease or the Premises). In determining whether to consent to any proposed Transfer, Landlord may consider all reasonable criteria, and Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld consent to any proposed Transfer if any Superior Interest Holder with the right to withhold consent to such proposed Transfer refuses to consent thereto; or if, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment: (a) the proposed Transferee’s character, reputation, credit history, or business is inconsistent with the character or quality of the Project; (b) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with any Law which would require new construction anywhere in the Project, including in the Premises; (c) the proposed Transferee is a Governmental Authority or an instrumentality of one; (d) the proposed Transferee’s use of the Premises would be different than the Permitted Use; (e) the proposed Transferee’s use of the Premises would result in significantly increased pedestrian traffic to or in the Building, or would require increased Project or Building services or increased demands on Parking Facilities; (f) the proposed Transferee is a Telecommunications Provider, or intends to use the Premises or any portion thereof for server space for the provision of

  13.3 CONDITIONS TO CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST TO TRANSFER

Landlord shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”), to respond to any request for consent to any proposed Transfer, during which period Landlord may consent, refuse consent, consent conditionally, or exercise its rights under Section 13.5. Landlord’s failure to respond within the Review Period shall constitute Landlord’s refusal to consent to the proposed Transfer. The Review Period shall commence upon delivery to Landlord of all the following documents, information and payments:

 

  (a) Business Information

Tenant shall provide Landlord with a statement containing (i) the name and address of the proposed Transferee; (ii) the proposed Transferee’s bank and credit references; (iii) the proposed Transferee’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); (iv) all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the proposed commencement and expiration dates, the precise area of the Premises subject thereto; (v) an itemized statement detailing all costs and expenses Tenant expects to incur in connection with the proposed Transfer; and (vi) an itemized statement detailing all monetary and non-monetary consideration to be received by Tenant or any other party in connection therewith.

 

  (b) Transfer Documentation

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an original assignment or sublease executed by Tenant, the proposed Transferee, and all Guarantors, if any, of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Such document shall be in form and substance acceptable to Landlord, and shall expressly provide, among other things, that: (i) the Transferee assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (relating, in the case of a sublease, only to those portions of the Premises which are subject to such sublease); (ii) neither the current Transfer nor any subsequent Transfer (irrespective of whether Tenant is a party thereto) shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of any obligation or liability arising out of this Lease; and (iii) the Transfer shall not be deemed effective for any purpose unless and until Landlord’s written consent thereto is obtained; and (iv) if the Transfer is an assignment, no modification of the terms of the Lease between Landlord and the Transferee (including the extension of time for performance or the waiver of any obligation to be performed by the Transferee) will operate to release Tenant or any Guarantor of its obligations with respect to this Lease, and, in the case of an assignment, all of the Tenant’s rights in the Security Deposit are, as of the effective date of the Transfer, the sole property of the Transferee.

 

  (c) Payment of Expenses

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the sum of (i) $1,000.00 as a processing fee to reimburse Landlord for the administrative costs of reviewing the information provided under Section 13.3(a), and (ii) the amount of legal, accounting and other professional fees and costs which Landlord reasonably estimates it will incur in connection with the review and negotiation of documents provided under Section 13.3(b). Tenant’s payment of the actual amount of all such fees and costs shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the proposed Transfer.

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

  13.4 EFFECT OF CONSENT

Neither any Transfer (including any subsequent Transfer, irrespective of whether Tenant, any Transferee or any Guarantor is a party thereto), nor any consent of Landlord thereto, shall operate to relieve Tenant, any Transferee, or any Guarantor of such party’s liability for the payment of all Rent and the performance of all other obligations under or arising out of this Lease. With respect to any Transfer that is an assignment of the Lease, no modification of the terms of the Lease between Landlord and any Transferee (including any extension of time for performance or any waiver of any obligation to be performed) will operate to so release Tenant, any prior Transferee or any Guarantor.

 

  13.5 RECAPTURE RIGHTS

Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised by Notice to Tenant prior to expiration of the Review Period, to (a) terminate this Lease effective as of the commencement date of the proposed Transfer (provided, that if the proposed Transfer is a sublease, such termination shall be limited to the area of the Premises proposed to be sublet); or (b) sublease or take an assignment, as the case may be, from Tenant of the interest, or any portion thereof, in this Lease or the Premises that Tenant proposes to Transfer, on the same terms and conditions as stated in the proposed Transfer agreement, and no such subleasing or assignment to Landlord shall work a merger. If Landlord makes an election described under clause (a) or (b) above (a “Recapture Right”), then Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to negotiate directly with the proposed Transferee and to enter into any agreement with such party on such terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, and Tenant waives any and all Claims against Landlord related thereto. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant may, at any time prior to the commencement of Tenant’s marketing efforts for any sublease or assignment transaction, provide Notice to Landlord of the type of assignment or subletting transaction that Tenant intends to enter into with a prospective Transferee (including, without limitation term, amount of space and genera] rental rates) (collectively, the “Transfer Parameters”), and request that Landlord, at that time, commit to whether Landlord intends to exercise its Recapture Right with respect to such a transaction or not. Within twenty (20) days from the date of Tenant’s Notice of the Transfer Parameters, Landlord will indicate in writing to Tenant whether or not Landlord will exercise its Recapture Right with respect to all or any portion of the Premises subject to Tenant’s Notice. If Landlord elects to exercise its Recapture Right, Landlord’s election shall be deemed final and binding on Tenant unless Tenant, within five (5) business days after Landlord’s Notice, rescinds its original Notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to enter into an assignment or subletting transaction in accordance with the Transfer Parameters. If Landlord does not elect to exercise its Recapture Right within said twenty (20) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to elect the Recapture Right as to any assignment or subletting transaction satisfying the Transfer Parameters and for which Tenant, during the six (6) month period after Landlord’s election or deemed election to not exercise its Recapture Right in accordance with this Section 13.5, seeks Landlord’s prior consent under Section 13.3, and Landlord’s rights with respect to any such proposed transaction shall be limited to Landlord’s rights under this Article 13.3, without giving effect to the terms of this Section 13.5. The rights granted Tenant hereunder to send a Notice to Landlord with proposed Transfer Parameters and to be able to enter into a Transfer without triggering Landlord’s Recapture Right are personal to the named Tenant under this Lease and any Transferee under a Permitted Transfer, and shall be of no further effect following any other Transfer by any of the foregoing Tenant parties.

 

  13.6 TRANSFER PREMIUM

As a condition to Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium. “Transfer Premium” means all Base Rent, additional rent, and all other consideration payable by each Transferee in connection with its respective Transfer (including key money, bonus money, and any payment in excess of fair market value for goodwill, services rendered by Tenant to Transferee, or any of Tenant’s Property), after deducting therefrom: (a) the Base Rent and Expenses Increases payable by Tenant under this Lease for the portion of the Premises to be transferred during the period subject to the Transfer; and (b) actual and reasonable leasing commissions and improvement costs paid by Tenant in connection with the Transfer. The

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

31


Transfer Premium shall be calculated and paid by Tenant monthly on a cash basis, along with Tenant’s payment of Base Rent. Within ten (10) days following the effective date of the Transfer, Tenant shall furnish a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant or Tenant’s chief financial officer, and sworn to by Tenant, describing in detail the consideration payable by the Transferee in connection with the Transfer and the computation of the Transfer Premium payable by Tenant to Landlord, all of which shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All books and records of Tenant that are reasonably necessary in order to perform an audit to determine whether the Transfer Premium was correctly calculated shall be made available to Landlord for review or audit upon request. If Landlord’s independent certified public accountant finds that the Transfer Premium for any Transfer has been understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following Notice from Landlord, pay the deficiency and Landlord’s costs of such audit. Any understatement by Tenant of the Transfer Premium by more than ten percent (10%), shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute an Event of Default by Tenant.

 

  13.7 RIGHT TO COLLECT RENT DIRECTLY

If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee. If the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after any Event of Default by Tenant, collect from the subtenant or occupant all amounts due from such party to Tenant. Tenant hereby authorizes and directs any Transferee to make payments of rent or other consideration directly to Landlord upon receipt of any Notice from Landlord requesting such action. Landlord may apply all such amounts collected to Rent due or coming due hereunder, and no such collection or application shall be deemed a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies hereunder, or the acceptance by Landlord of such party as a permitted Transferee, or the release of Tenant or any Guarantor from any of its obligations under or in connection with this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any other Transfer. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on any door of the Premises or on any directory or in any elevator in the Building, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in the person so named any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or be deemed to constitute, or serve as a substitute for, or any waiver of, any consent of Landlord required under this Section.

 

  13.8 PERMITTED TRANSFERS

Notwithstanding anything in this Article Error! Reference source not found, to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease and/or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to a Permitted Tenant Affiliate and may engage in Approved Reorganizations, without the express consent of (but with prior written notice to) Landlord (collectively, a “Permitted Transfer”) and without triggering Landlord’s recapture rights under Section 13.5 hereof. As used herein, the term “Permitted Tenant Affiliate” means an entity that, prior to the transaction, was controlling, under common control with, or controlled by, Tenant, but excluding any entity formed to avoid the restrictions on transfer by Tenant hereunder. For purposes of this definition, the word “control,” as used above, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the right or power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the controlled person. As used herein, the term “Approved Reorganizations” means any merger, reorganization or consolidation of Tenant (whether or not Tenant is the surviving entity), or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant, in each case as a going concern, where Tenant’s successor shall have a net worth following consummation of such transaction, as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that is at least equal to the greater of (X) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction, and (Y) the net worth of the originally named Tenant under this Lease as of the fiscal year quarter ending immediately prior to the Commencement Date. The word “person” means an individual, partnership, trust, corporation, form or other entity.

 

  13.9 REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions, conditions and limitations imposed by this Article 13 on Tenant’s ability to Transfer any interest under this Lease or in the Premises are, for the

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

32


purposes of California Civil Code §§1951.4 and 1995.010 et seq. (as such Laws may be amended from time to time), and for all other purposes, reasonable at the time that the Lease was entered into, and shall be deemed to be reasonable at the time that Tenant seeks the consent of Landlord to any proposed Transfer. Tenant hereby waives and relinquishes any present or future right (including any right under California Civil Code §1995.310 or any similar Law) to cancel or terminate this Lease in the event Landlord is determined to have unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to a proposed Transfer.

 

14. RISK ALLOCATION AND INSURANCE

 

  14.1 DEFINITIONS

The following terms are hereby defined as follows. “Claims” means claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, or otherwise), liabilities, injuries, losses, damages, proceedings, judgments, liens, charges, assessments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorney and expert witness fees and costs, including those incurred in connection with matters on appeal). “Tenant Protected Parties” means Tenant, its partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents. “Landlord Protected Parties” means Landlord, its beneficiaries (if Landlord is a land trust), its agents for asset and property management, and all of such parties’ respective partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents.

 

  14.2 RISK ALLOCATION INTENT

The parties desire, to the extent permitted by Law, to allocate certain risks of personal injury, bodily injury or property damage, and risks of loss of real or personal property by reason of fire, explosion or other casualty, and to provide for the responsibility for insuring such risks. To the extent any Claim arising out of or resulting from any accident, event, casualty or other occurrence (each, an “Event”) is actually insured or required under the terms of this Lease to be insured, it is the intent of the parties that such Claim be covered by insurance, without regard to the fault of any Tenant Protected Parties or Landlord Protected Parties except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 15. Accordingly, as between the Landlord Protected Parties and the Tenant Protected Parties, such risks are allocated as follows:

 

  (a) Tenant shall bear the risk of bodily injury (including death), personal injury, and damage to property of third persons arising out of or resulting from Events occurring within the Premises or within any other area of the Building that is leased to or otherwise exclusively occupied by Tenant, irrespective of the fault of any Landlord Protected Party. Such risks shall be insured as provided in Section 14.4.

 

  (b) Landlord shall bear the risk of bodily injury (including death), personal injury, and damage to the property of third persons arising out of or resulting from Events occurring in the Building or the Project (other than in the Premises or in other space leased to or occupied by tenants or third parties), to the extent such Event results from the negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Protected Party. Such risks shall be insured as provided in Section 14.3.

 

  (c) Tenant shall bear the risk of loss of, damage to, or destruction of all contents, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture and furnishings in the Premises (or elsewhere in or about the Building), including contents which are the property of third parties but which are in the care, custody or control of Tenant (“Tenant’s Property”) arising out of or resulting from any Event required to be insured against as provided in Section 14.4.

 

  (d) Landlord shall bear the risk of damage to the Building arising out of or resulting from any Event required to be insured against as provided in Section 14.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the party required to bear the risk described in subsection (a) or (b) above (the “At Risk Party”) does not default in its obligation to carry the insurance coverage

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

33


required under this Lease, if the other party (the “At Fault Party”) is at fault for any actual loss suffered by the At Risk Party, then to the extent that such loss (i) is occasioned by an Event of the type described in subsection (a) or (b) above, and exceeds the amount of insurance coverage required to be carried by the At Risk Party (or the amount of insurance actually carried, if greater than the amount required), or (ii) results from an Event neither required to be insured against nor actually insured against, the At Fault Party shall pay for the uncovered portion of such loss.

 

  14.3 LANDLORDS INSURANCE

During the Term, Landlord shall maintain (a) commercial property insurance, insuring the Building and all other improvements on the Project for an agreed amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of full replacement cost, with coverage no less broad than that provided under the ISO Special Form (CP 10 30); and (b) commercial general liability insurance, written on an occurrence basis, with coverage no less broad than that provided under ISO 1996 form CG 00 01 (without any endorsement which would have the effect of reducing or eliminating the coverages currently provided under such form), in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence/aggregate. In addition, Landlord may carry such other types of insurance with such coverage limits as Landlord deems to be prudent, desirable or necessary from time to time. All Landlord’s insurance policies may be subject to such deductibles or self-insured retentions as Landlord shall determine in the exercise of its sole discretion.

 

  14.4 TENANTS INSURANCE

During the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain and keep in full force and effect all of the following insurance coverages:

 

  (a) Property insurance covering all Tenant’s contents, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture and furnishings in the Premises (or elsewhere in or about the Building), including contents which are the property of third parties but which are in the care, custody or control of Tenant, all Premises Improvements and all Alterations, for an agreed amount not less than 100% of their replacement cost (without regard to the value of any use interest of Tenant therein), and with coverage no less broad than that provided under the ISO Special Form (CP 10 30);

 

  (b) Loss of income, extra expense and business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils required to be insured against under subsection (d) above for a period not less than twelve (12) months;

 

  (c) Commercial general liability insurance, written on an occurrence basis, with coverage no less broad than that provided under ISO 1996 form CG 00 01 (without any endorsement which would have the effect of reducing or eliminating the contractual liability, cross-liability, insured employee, or any other coverage provided under such form), together with “host liquor liability coverage, in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence/aggregate. Umbrella liability insurance may be used to achieve the above minimum liability limits, provided that the policy coverages are absolutely concurrent;

 

  (d) [Intentionally omitted];

 

  (e) If any goods not owned by Tenant are regularly stored in or shipped from the Premises, warehousemen’s or carriers’ legal liability insurance with limits no less than the aggregate value of all such goods.

  (f) Worker’s compensation insurance as required by law, and employers’ liability insurance with minimum limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and

 

  (g) During the course of construction of any Alterations, Tenant shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense, builders’ risk insurance for the amount of the completed value of the Alterations on an “all-risk” non-reporting form covering all Alterations under construction, including building materials, and other insurance in amounts and against such risks as Landlord shall reasonably require in connection with the Alterations. Tenant shall cause each of its contractors and subcontractors to maintain (a) workers’ compensation insurance required by law; (b) employers’ liability insurance with minimum limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (c) commercial general liability insurance with minimum coverage limits of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence/aggregate, and otherwise meeting the same policy requirements (as set forth below) as are applicable to Tenant’s insurance policies.

 

  14.5 POLICY REQUIREMENTS

Each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant shall be written on a form satisfactory to Landlord; and shall be issued by a company rated not less than A:X in Best’s Insurance Guide and authorized to do insurance business in the State where the Building is located. All Tenant’s liability policies shall name as additional insureds (a) Landlord, (b) Landlord’s agents for asset and property management (which agents, as of the date hereof are AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc. and Lowe Enterprises Real Estate Group, respectively), (c) any Superior Interest Holders of which Tenant has been given notice, and (d) all Tenant Protected Parties who are not automatically included as additional insureds under such policies. Landlord and any Superior Interest Holders designated by Landlord shall be named as additional insureds (or as mortgagee, as required), as their interests may appear. Tenant may provide any of its required insurance coverage under blanket policies, but only upon furnishing Landlord with a “per location” endorsement confirming that such coverage shall not be limited, diminished, or reduced as a result thereof. Tenant shall structure its property and business income insurance policies so that no coinsurance penalty shall be imposed and no valuation shortfalls shall occur. No deductible (including any self-insured retention) under any policy of insurance carried by Tenant shall exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). If Tenant fails to procure or maintain insurance coverages as provided above, or fails to timely deliver any certificates or policies as required by this Lease, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to procure and maintain coverage, and Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs in connection therewith as Additional Rent within ten (10) days following Landlord’s invoice therefor. Tenant shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain any additional insurance coverage that Landlord or the holder of any Superior Interest may reasonably require from time to time; provided, however, Landlord shall not require any subsequent modification to Tenant’s insurance coverage that would result in such coverage exceeding the scope or amount of coverage typically being required by institutional landlords for comparable tenants entering into new leases for comparable amounts of space for comparable uses in the greater metropolitan area in which the Building is located. All Tenant’s liability insurance shall be primary, and any liability insurance carried by Landlord, any Landlord Protected Party, and the holder of any Superior Interest shall be strictly excess, secondary, and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Tenant. No insurance coverage limits shall limit the liability of Tenant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of all premiums for its insurance policies and no additional insured, loss payee or mortgagee shall have any obligation therefor.

 

  14.6 EVIDENCE OF COVERAGE

Certificates of insurance evidencing Tenant’s insurance and issued by a duly authorized agent shall be delivered to Landlord not less than ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date or the

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

35


date Tenant enters the Premises for the purpose of performing any installations or other work therein. Within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certified copy of any insurance policy or policies required hereunder. No insurance policy required to be carried by Tenant shall be subject to cancellation or modification except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from the insurance carrier to Landlord, and to all other parties named in such policy as additional insured, loss payee, mortgagee, or any other designation. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a replacement certificate (and, at Landlord’s option, evidence of premium payment) evidencing the uninterrupted continuation of each insurance policy not less than thirty (30) days prior to its expiration.

 

  14.7 RELEASES; WAIVERS OF SUBROGATION

Landlord and Tenant each waive and release all Claims and all rights of recovery against the other for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, the Project, and the parties’ respective fixtures and personal property, arising from any cause that (i) is required to be insured against under the terms of this Lease by the party suffering the loss, regardless of whether such insurance is actually carried; or (ii) is actually insured against under any insurance carried by such party, regardless of whether such insurance is required hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party’s waiver and release shall apply irrespective of the cause or origin of the claim, including the negligence of the other party or of any person acting at the direction or under the control of such party. The parties agree that the foregoing waiver shall be binding upon their respective property and business income insurance carriers, and (except for any insurance policy which provides that the insured thereunder may effectively waive subrogation without further action on the part of the insured) each party shall obtain any endorsements or take such other action as may be required to effect such insurer’s waiver of subrogation under each such policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Landlord Insured Casualty is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days following Landlord’s invoice therefor, all deductible amounts and other expenses payable by Landlord in connection with such Landlord Insured Casualty which are not covered by the proceeds of Landlord’s property or business income insurance.

  16.3 LANDLORDS OPTION TO TERMINATE OR REPAIR

Landlord may terminate this Lease as a result of any Casualty Damage to the Project, or any portion thereof, if (a) in Landlord’s reasonable estimation, the Casualty Damage would result in Tenant being unable to utilize and conduct business in a substantial portion of the Premises without material interference while Landlord performs Landlord’s Restoration Work for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (3 80) days (calculated without overtime labor) from the date of the Casualty; (b) the estimated cost of Landlord’s Restoration Work, irrespective of whether such Casualty Damage is covered by insurance, exceeds one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of available insurance proceeds under Landlord’s property insurance; (c) the Building cannot be restored except in a substantially different structural or architectural form; (d) Project Improvements necessary to the efficient operation of the Building cannot be adequately restored to their necessary function; (e) any Superior Interest Holder does not allow Landlord to use sufficient proceeds to perform Landlord’s Restoration Work; (f) despite Landlord’s reasonable efforts, the proceeds of Landlord’s property insurance are not paid by the insurer for reasons other than Landlord’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.3; or (g) the Casualty occurs within the twelve (12) month period preceding the Expiration Date, unless Tenant has timely exercised any applicable Option to Extend.

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

38


Landlord with Tenant’s Termination Notice within such ten (10) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) Tenant’s Termination Notice shall be void and of no effect if either (i) within twenty (20) days after receiving Tenant’s Termination Notice, or (ii) at the time Landlord provides Tenant with Landlord’s Repair Period Notice, Landlord states that it intends to complete Landlord’s Restoration Work within three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of the Casualty and agrees to provide Tenant with temporary space in the Project or such other office buildings owned by Landlord or its affiliates in the San Francisco financial district that is currently available (subject to cosmetic paint, carpet and other installation work that would not delay the ability of Landlord to deliver such temporary space to Tenant beyond ten (10) days) and of substantially similar in size to the Premises, at an aggregate rent not greater than that paid by Tenant under this Lease prior to the Casualty Event, for the period that Landlord proceeds with Landlord’s Restoration Work. Landlord shall pay for Tenant’s direct, out-of-pocket costs of relocating to the temporary space. In the event Landlord timely agrees to provide Tenant with such temporary space, this Lease shall, not terminate as a consequence of said Casualty, and Tenant shall relocate to such temporary space up request of Landlord; provided, however, if Landlord’s Restoration Work is not substantially completed so as to enable Tenant to reoccupy the Premises for the conduct of its business (without material impairment) on or before said three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days’ prior Notice to Landlord at any time after said three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, which termination shall be effective unless prior to the expiration of said thirty (30) day period Landlord delivers possession of the Premises in the condition required in this Section 16.4.

 

  16.5 RENT ABATEMENT DUE TO CASUALTY

If, as a result of any Casualty Damage Tenant is unable to gain access to or conduct business in the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and any Expense Increases from the date of the Casualty Damage through the date the Lease is terminated or the earlier of (i) the date Tenant occupies the Premises; or (ii) the date Landlord’s and Tenant’s Restoration Work is Substantially Completed (or, in the event of any Tenant Delay, the date all such work would have been so completed in the absence of such Tenant Delay). The amount of such abatement shall be equal to the Base Rent and Expense Increases payable during the restoration period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the RSF of that portion of the Premises which is rendered unusable (including, without limitation, due to the inability to gain access thereto or to conduct business therein) by the Casualty Damage, and the denominator of which is the RSF of the entire Premises. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant’s right to an abatement of Rent as described in this Section 16.5 shall be Tenant’s sole remedy in connection with any Casualty Damage described in this Article 16 and the repair thereof, and Tenant shall have no claim for, and hereby releases Landlord and all Landlord Parties from all Claims arising out of any Casualty Damage to the Premises, the Building or the Project or the repair or restoration thereof, including any cost, loss or expense resulting from any loss of use or any inconvenience or annoyance thereby occasioned.

 

  16.6 GENERAL REPAIR AND RESTORATION OBLIGATIONS

In the event of any Casualty Damage, provided this Lease is not terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of this Article 16, Landlord shall (subject to delays caused by the insurance adjustment process and other Force Majeure Delays) promptly commence and diligently complete, at Landlord’s expense (subject to Landlord’s right to include Landlord Deductible Amounts in Expenses), the repair and restoration of those Base Building Improvements and Project Improvements located in or directly serving the Premises (including those Base Building Improvements and Project Improvements which are reasonably necessary for access to the Premises and Parking Facilities). Such repair or restoration shall be to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the occurrence of the Casualty; provided, however, Landlord may make any modifications which are (a) required by Laws, (b) required by any Superior Interest Holder (provided the Premises is not materially adversely affected), or (c) deemed by Landlord to be necessary or desirable and approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided that, upon completion, access to the

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

39


Premises and the Parking Facilities is not materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any Casualty Damage to the Premises Improvements, if the Lease is not terminated, Tenant shall deposit into a third party escrow account reasonably acceptable to Landlord all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s property insurance required under Section 14.4 or otherwise, and Landlord shall repair such Casualty Damage and return the Premises Improvements to their original condition; provided, that if the cost of such repairs exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, the portion of the repair costs not covered by such insurance proceeds (including any deductible or self-insured retention amounts under such policies) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of such Casualty Damage. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one half of the costs of such escrow, and funds therefrom shall be disbursed to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) on a progress payment basis following receipt of conditional or unconditional lien releases (as appropriate), for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the repair of Casualty Damage to the Premises Improvements pursuant to a disbursement procedure approved by Landlord and Tenant, which approval shall not be withheld so long as such procedure reflects commercially reasonable disbursement standards for construction loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect, by Notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days following the date Landlord has actual knowledge of the Casualty, that Tenant, at its sole cost and expense (subject to application of Tenant’s insurance proceeds), repair all Casualty Damage to the Premises Improvements and return the Premises Improvements to their original condition. Irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant makes such repairs, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as an Alteration subject to the approval of Landlord, plans, specifications and working drawings related thereto, and if Tenant makes such repairs, the contractor shall be chosen in the same manner as provided in Section 9.3 with respect to construction of Alterations. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Expenses as provided in Section 16.5. Within thirty (30) days following completion of restoration of the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to receive Tenant’s Excess Restoration Proceeds, if any. If this Lease is not terminated by either party as a result of the Casualty, “Tenant’s Excess Restoration Proceeds” means the difference between (a) the sum of all proceeds of Tenant’s property insurance and all uninsured costs of restoring the Premises Improvements paid by Tenant, including any deductible and self-insured retention amounts; and (b) all actual costs incurred in connection with the restoration (including any replacements) to their original condition of the Premises Improvements, If this Lease is terminated by either party as a result of any Casualty, “Tenant’s Excess Restoration Proceeds” means the difference between (a) the sum of all proceeds of Tenant’s property insurance and all uninsured costs of restoring the Premises Improvements not repaired, including any deductible and self-insured retention amounts; and (b) the sum of (i) all actual costs incurred in connection with the restoration (including any replacements) to their original condition of those Premises Improvements which Landlord elects to retain, and (ii) all additional costs incurred by Landlord in restoring the Premises to the condition in which Tenant would, in the absence of the Casualty, have been required to surrender it upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. All Tenant’s obligations with respect to the assignment of insurance proceeds and payment for uninsured costs of restoring Premises Improvements, and all obligations of Landlord for the refund to Tenant of Tenant’s Excess Restoration Proceeds, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

17. CONDEMNATION

 

  17.1 TERMINATION AS TO PORTION TAKEN

Subject to the Temporary Taking provisions of this Lease, if all or a part of the Premises is taken by any public or quasi-public authority (collectively, “Condemnor”), whether under the power of eminent domain or a conveyance by Landlord in lieu thereof (collectively, “Condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so taken or conveyed on the date title or the right to

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

40


possession vests in the Condemnor. Tenant waives the benefit of Sections 1165.110 through 1265.160 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and agrees that the provisions of this Article 17 shall govern in the event of any Condemnation.

 

  17.2 PARTIAL TAKING OF PREMISES

If a portion of the Premises is taken by Condemnation and neither party exercises its right, if any, under this Article 17 to terminate this Lease as a result thereof, Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises to an architectural whole, this Lease shall remain in effect as to the remaining portion of the Premises and the Base Rent for the Premises shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the monthly Base Rent in effect during the restoration period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square footage of that portion of the Premises which is taken in the Condemnation, and the denominator of which is the rentable square footage of the Premises immediately prior to such Condemnation. Tenant’s Share shall also be proportionately reduced. If, after a partial Condemnation resulting in the taking of at least 35% of the Premises, Tenant is not reasonably able to continue the operation of its business in the Premises or if Landlord elects not to restore the remaining portion of the Premises to an architectural whole, this Lease may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant upon Notice to the other within thirty (30) days following the Condemnation. Such Notice shall specify the date of termination, which shall be not less than thirty (30) or more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such Notice. If such Notice of termination is given, the Lease and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate as of the date specified in the Notice. “Temporary Taking” means a Condemnation of all or a portion of the Premises on a temporary basis, the duration of which will expire prior to the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Article 17, this Lease shall not terminate by reason of any Temporary Taking, but Tenant’s obligation to pay monthly Base Rent and Expenses for the portion of the Premises subject to such Temporary Taking shall abate for the period during which such Temporary Taking is in effect.

 

  17.3 PARTIAL TAKING OF PROJECT

If any portion of the Project is taken by Condemnation, whether any portion of the Premises is taken or not, and Landlord (or any Superior Interest Holder) determines that it is not economically feasible to continue operating the Building, then Landlord shall have the option, for a period of sixty (60) days following the Condemnation, to elect to terminate this Lease. If Landlord determines that it is economically feasible to continue operating such Building following such Condemnation, then this Lease shall remain in effect, and Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, restore the remaining portions of the Project to an architectural whole. Any Notice by Landlord of its election to terminate the Lease pursuant to this Section shall specify the date of termination, which shall be not less than thirty (30) or more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such Notice. If such Notice of termination is given, the Lease and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate as of the date specified in the Notice.

 

  17.4 ALLOCATION OF COMPENSATION

Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid in connection with any Condemnation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees that it shall have no claim against Landlord or the Condemnor for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or for the value of any Premises Improvements, and Tenant hereby assigns all such claims to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to make a separate claim directly to the Condemnor for Tenant’s relocation expenses and for any loss of or damage to Tenant’s Property, provided Landlord’s recovery for such Condemnation is not thereby diminished.

 

18. SIGNS

Landlord shall provide, at Landlord’s expense, one (1) directory strip for each 1,000 RSF in the Premises in each directory located in the Building; and one (1) Building Standard identification sign at the entrance to the Premises.

obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall remove any such items upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, and shall repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by any installation, maintenance or removal of same, all at Tenant’s expense. If any such items are installed without Landlord’s consent, or are not timely removed, or repairs are not timely made, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remove any or all of such items and/or repair any such damage or injury, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

19. RIGHTS OF LANDLORD

Such entry by Landlord shall not constitute a termination, or give rise to any right of abatement, of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

  19.2 LANDLORD RIGHTS

Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without Notice and without being deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for offset or abatement of Rent, to (a) designate and/or approve prior to installation, all types of signs, window shades, blinds, drapes, awnings or other similar items, and all internal lighting that may be visible from the exterior of the Premises and the general appearance of all areas of the Premises visible from the exterior; (b) grant any party the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in the Building or Project, provided such exclusive right shall not operate to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the purposes permitted under this Lease; (c) prohibit the placement of vending machines and video or other electronic games in the Premises; (d) retain at all times master keys or pass keys to the Premises.

Landlord shall have the right in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without the same constituting a breach of Landlord’s covenant of quiet enjoyment or an actual or constructive eviction, and without incurring any liability to Tenant or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease: (a) to change the location, size, shape and number of the Project’s driveways, entrances, parking spaces, Parking Facilities, hallways, corridors, lobby areas, walkways and other Common Areas; (b) to change the manner of ingress and egress and the direction of driveways; (c) to close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains

Landlord shall be permitted to grant such easements, grants, dedications and other consents or permissions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, change the name and address of the Building or the Project (provided, however, in such an event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant up to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for costs incurred in changing addresses on stationary, business cards, directories, advertising, and other such items).

This Lease, along with all rights of Tenant hereunder, is and shall be subject and subordinate to: (a) all ground leases encumbering all or any portion of the Project (each, a “Superior Lease”); (b) all mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering all or any portion of the Project (each, a “Superior Mortgage”), whether or not affecting properties or interests other than the Premises or the Project; (c) each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under each Superior Mortgage; (d) all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of any Superior Lease; and (e) all renewals, modifications, replacements, extensions, spreaders and consolidations of any Superior Mortgage (all such interests in clauses (a) through (e) collectively, whether in existence as of the date of this Lease first encumbering all or any portion of the Project after the date of this Lease being referred to as the “Superior Interests”, and each holder of any such Superior Interest [including its successors in interest], a “Superior Interest Holder”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Superior Interest Holder may elect, at any time, to subordinate its Superior Interest to the lien of this Lease. If any Superior Interest Holder succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed (such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights herein called “Successor Landlord”), then Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Landlord under this

Lease, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant, and Successor Landlord shall not disturb Tenant’s quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises for so long as Tenant faithfully performs its obligations under the Lease. No Successor Landlord shall be (w) deemed to have assumed or to otherwise have liability for any default, act or omission of any Landlord having an interest in the Project prior to the date such Successor Landlord acquires title thereto; (x) subject to any defense which accrued to Tenant prior to such date, or (y) bound by any modification of the Lease made without the prior written consent of such Successor Landlord; or (z) bound by any Rent paid more than one month in advance, unless such Rent is actually received by Successor Landlord. The agreements set forth in this Section 22.2 shall be self-operative and no further agreement of Tenant shall be necessary in order to effect any such subordination and attornment; however, with respect to the interest of any Superior Interest Holder first encumbering all or any portion of the project after the date of this Lease and to which Landlord intends that this Lease be subordinate to the interest of the Superior Interest Holder, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a subordination and attornment, including any Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (an “SNDA”) on said Senior Interest Holder’s standard form, and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Notice, execute, acknowledge and deliver the SNDA, provided the same provides for the effectiveness of this Lease following any foreclosure of the Superior Interest Holder. Tenant acknowledges its obligation to pay late charges as provided in Section 3.4 for each day that Tenant is late in providing any such SNDA, commencing on the 11th day following Landlord’s request therefor, and continuing through the 20th day thereafter.

 

  22.3 CURE RIGHTS

Tenant shall give each Superior Interest Holder of which Tenant has notice, in the manner provided for in Section 32.1, a copy of every Notice of default given by Tenant to Landlord, concurrently with the giving of such Notice to Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then such Superior Interest Holder shall have an additional reasonable period within which to cure such default, or if such default cannot be cured without the Superior Interest Holder pursuing its remedies against Landlord, then such additional time as may be reasonably necessary, provided the Superior Interest Holder commences and thereafter diligently pursues the remedies necessary to cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure).

 

23. TENANT’S DEFAULT

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default on the part of Tenant under this Lease (“Event of Default”), permitting Landlord to exercise the remedies specified in Article 24:

 

  23.1 FAILURE TO PAY RENT

Tenant’s failure to pay any Rent required to be paid under this Lease within five (5) days following Notice from Landlord that such Rent is due and unpaid.

 

  23.2 GENERAL NON-MONETARY DEFAULTS

Tenant’s failure to perform any of Tenant’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Lease not otherwise specified in this Article 23 within ten (10) days following Notice from Landlord to do so. However, if such default is of a nature that could not reasonably be considered curable within such ten (10) day period despite Tenant’s diligent efforts, then the ten (10) day cure period shall be increased to that number of days as may be reasonably required under the circumstances, provided that (a) Tenant commences to cure such default within the original ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursues a course of action to complete such cure within the shortest possible time; and (b) such default has been completely cured within sixty (60) days following Landlord’s Notice.

 

  23.3 SPECIAL NON-MONETARY DEFAULTS

Tenant’s failure, within five (5) days following Notice from Landlord, to timely execute, acknowledge where requested, and deliver any Estoppel Certificate, financial statements, or SNDA in the manner and within the time required by Articles 21 and 20, and Section 22.1, respectively; to timely remove any lien as required by Section 9.5; or to timely restore any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease if any such insurance expires or is canceled, reduced or materially changed.

  23.4 ASSIGNMENT FOR CREDITORS; BANKRUPTCY

A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against Tenant which remains undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days; or the receivership, attachment, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets on the Premises, which attachment or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days after the levy thereof.

 

  23.5 CHRONIC DELINQUENCY

Tenant’s failure to make any payment of Rent under this Lease within five (5) days of the date such Rent is required to be paid, if Tenant has received two (2) or more Notices of default from Landlord any time within the preceding twelve (12) month period, irrespective of whether any such default was cured prior to becoming an Event of Default.

Tenant agrees that any Notice of default described above, including any Notice required in order for Landlord to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding, shall replace and satisfy any equivalent or lesser statutory notice requirement, including any notices required by California Code of Civil Procedure §1161. When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of such notice in the manner required by this Lease shall replace and satisfy the statutory service of notice procedures, including those required by California Code of Civil Procedure §1162.

 

24. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, all of which remedies shall be deemed to be cumulative and not exclusive:

 

  24.1 TERMINATION

Landlord may terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Premises, and Tenant shall thereupon immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord elects to terminate the Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant all of the following:

 

  (a) the worth at the time of award of any Rent which, at the time of such termination, is due and unpaid; plus

 

  (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent due and payable which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

  (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

 

  (d)

any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom, including (i) any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord (A) in retaking possession of the Premises; (B) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering, remodeling or rehabilitating the Premises or any affected portions of the Building or the Project, including such actions undertaken in connection with the reletting or attempted reletting of the Premises to a new tenant or tenants; (C) for leasing commissions, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises; or (D) in carrying the Premises,

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

46


  including taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions; (ii) any unearned brokerage commissions paid in connection with this Lease; (iii) reimbursement of any previously waived or abated Base Rent or Additional Rent or any free rent or reduced rental rate granted hereunder; and (iv) any concession made by Landlord to or for the benefit of Tenant in consideration of this Lease including any moving allowances, contributions, payments or loans by Landlord for tenant improvements or build-out allowances (including any unamortized portion of the Allowance), if any, or assumptions by Landlord of any of Tenant’s previous lease obligations; plus

 

  (e) reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default and any exercise by Landlord of its remedies, along with all costs if suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedy (including all such fees and costs for any matters on appeal); plus

 

  (f) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by Law.

As used in subsections (a) and (b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. As used in subsection (c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). On behalf of Tenant and all parties claiming under Tenant, Tenant waives all present and future rights to redeem, by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

 

  24.2 MITIGATION OF DAMAGES

If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages except to the extent required by Law. If Landlord has not terminated this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate under any circumstances and may permit the Premises to remain vacant or abandoned. If Landlord is required to mitigate damages as provided herein: (a) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as Landlord generally uses to lease other space in the Building, (b) Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if Landlord or its affiliates lease any other portions of the Building or other projects owned by Landlord or its affiliates in the same geographic area, before reletting all or any portion of the Premises; and (c) any failure to mitigate as described herein with respect to any period of time shall only reduce the Rent and other amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder by the reasonable rental value of the Premises during such period. In recognition that the value of the Building depends on the rental rates and terms of leases therein, Landlord’s rejection of a prospective replacement tenant based on an offer of rentals below Landlord’s published rates for new leases of comparable space at the Building at the time in question, or (at Landlord’s option) below the rates provided in this Lease, or containing terms less favorable than those contained herein, shall not give rise to a claim by Tenant that Landlord failed to mitigate Landlord’s damages.

 

  24.3 CONTINUATION OF LEASE

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, the remedy described in California Civil Code §1951.4 (which provides that a landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment, and recover Rent as it becomes due, provided Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). In addition, Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure or refusal to relet the Premises. For purposes of this Section 24.3, and by way of example only, the following acts by Landlord shall not under any circumstances constitute the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises: (a) acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises, including alterations, remodeling, redecorating, repairs, replacements and/or painting as Landlord shall consider advisable for the purpose of reletting the Premises or any part thereof, or (b) the appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Premises.

  24.4 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

The remedies herein provided are not exclusive and Landlord shall have any and all other remedies provided herein or by law or in equity, including the right to all provisional remedies such as specific performance, injunction, and declaratory relief. No act or omission of Landlord pursuant to this Article 24 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless Landlord provides Tenant with express Notice of such intention or unless such termination is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

  24.5 NO SURRENDER

No act of Landlord or of any Landlord Party, including Landlord’s acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute Landlord’s acceptance of a surrender or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term unless such acceptance is expressly acknowledged by Landlord in a written agreement executed by both parties. At Landlord’s option, a surrender and termination of this Lease shall operate either (a) as an assignment to Landlord of any or all subleases of the Premises (without effecting a merger); or (b) as a merger resulting in the termination of any or all such subleases. Landlord’s option may be exercised as to each such sublease by written notice to each subtenant given at any time within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the surrender and termination. Landlord’s failure to provide such notice to any individual subtenant shall constitute an election by Landlord that the surrender and termination of this Lease shall not operate as a merger resulting in the termination of such sublease.

 

  24.6 NO COUNTERCLAIMS; WAIVER OF REDEMPTION

Tenant acknowledges that its obligation to pay Rent hereunder is a condition as well as a covenant, and that such obligation is independent of any and all covenants of Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any summary proceeding commenced by Landlord for non-payment of Rent. Tenant waives any rights of redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure §§1174 and 1179, or under any other applicable present or future Law, if Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Event of Default.

 

25. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PERFORM

Without limiting the rights and remedies of Landlord described in Article 24, if Tenant is in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder (irrespective of whether any Event of Default has occurred), Landlord may, but shall not be required to, upon three (3) business days Notice to Tenant, perform any such obligation (including the making of any payment), and Landlord shall not be responsible for any loss or damage sustained by Tenant or any Tenant Party as a result thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may perform any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease without Notice to Tenant under any circumstances which Landlord reasonably perceives to constitute an emergency, or if Landlord otherwise determines in its sole discretion that such performance is necessary or desirable for the proper management and operation of the Building or the Project or for the preservation of the rights and interests or safety of other tenants therein. If Landlord performs any such obligations of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days following demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such performance, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.

 

26. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD

 

  26.1 LANDLORDS DEFAULT

Landlord shall not be in default under the Lease unless Landlord has failed to perform any obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder within thirty (30) days following Notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

48


obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days is required to effect such cure, then Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to commence such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion. Tenant shall have no right to terminate or rescind this Lease, or the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord (through deductions against Rent or otherwise), in the event of any default by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy, in the event of any failure by Landlord to grant consent under any circumstances where Landlord’s consent is required shall be an action for declaratory relief; and that Tenant’s sole remedies in the event of any other default by Landlord shall be limited to actions for damages or injunctive relief.

 

  26.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

  (a) General Limitations

Landlord’s liability for damages in connection with any matters arising out of this Lease shall be limited to an amount equal to Landlord’s actual equity interest in the Building including, to the extent applicable under this Lease, any insurance proceeds received or to be received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease; provided that in no event shall any Landlord Parties have any personal liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. The term “Landlord Parties” means, collectively, any of Landlord’s partners, shareholders, officers, directors, managers, members, trustees, beneficiaries, investment advisors, managing agents, the successors in interest of each of such parties, and all employees of all such parties and their respective successors in interest. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable to Tenant under any circumstances for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages, whether arising out of any injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except to the extent of any Landlord Party’s liability for the acts and omissions of its own agents and employees acting within the scope of their agency or employment, no Landlord Party shall be deemed to have assumed any liability for the acts or omissions of any other Landlord Party. The provisions of this Article are intended to benefit Landlord and the Landlord Parties only, shall not be applied for the benefit of any insurer or third party, and shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

  (b) Waiver and Release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and as a material part of the consideration to Landlord for this Lease, Tenant hereby releases Landlord, and all Landlord Parties, from responsibility for, waives Tenant’s entire claim of recovery for, and assumes all risk of Claims arising from or resulting out of: (i) damage to property or injury (including death) to persons in or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever, including the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Party; (ii) damage to property or injury to persons outside the Premises from any cause whatsoever, except solely to the extent such damage or injury is directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; and (iii) business interruption or other consequential damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except to the extent of any Landlord Party’s liability for the acts and omissions of its own agents and employees acting within the scope of their agency or employment, no Landlord Party shall be deemed to have assumed any liability for the acts or omissions of any other Landlord Party.

 

  26.3 EFFECT OF CONVEYANCE

The term “Landlord” means the then current owner of the property of which the Premises are a part. In the event of any sale or transfer of Landlord’s interest in such property, the transferring Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder arising as of the effective date of such transfer, and Tenant shall look solely to the transferee of Landlord’s interest for the performance of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder. Tenant waives the benefit of any Law that gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of any interest of Landlord in the Project or in this Lease.

27. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

 

28. HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over in possession of the Premises or any portion thereof after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, such holding over shall, at Landlord’s option and without limiting any of Landlord’s remedies, be construed as a tenancy at will, terminable on no less than thirty (30) days Notice, and Tenant acknowledges that such Notice may be given at any time within the last two (2) months of the Term. Landlord shall provide Tenant with Notice prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease of Landlord’s election that such holding over be construed as a tenancy at sufferance; if Landlord fails to provide such Notice, such holding over shall be deemed to be a tenancy at will. Tenant’s use of the Premises during any such holdover period shall be at a Base Rent equal to the greater of (i) the fair market rental value of the Premises during such period; or (ii) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent due in the last full month of the Term (without considering any abatement of such amount to which Tenant may have been entitled in such month as a result of any event for which the terms of this Lease expressly provide abatement or otherwise), and otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified; provided, however, that all renewal, expansion or other optional rights of Tenant contained in this Lease, if any, shall be deemed void during any such holdover tenancy. No ongoing negotiation regarding the extension or renewal of this Lease (or any occupancy rights of Tenant in the Project) shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s holdover status or a consent by Landlord to any such holdover, or any waiver of Landlord’s right to receive or Tenant’s obligation to pay such increased Base Rent during any such holdover period. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all Claims resulting from any holding over by Tenant, including any consequential damages arising out of any Claims against Landlord by any succeeding or prospective tenant and losses suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to any succeeding or prospective tenant.

Landlord shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to take whatever action with respect to any such Hazardous Materials that it deems necessary, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to protect the value of the Building and the Project. All costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in the exercise of such right shall be payable by Tenant upon demand, but only to the extent such costs and expenses directly relate to a release, discharge or disposal of Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Laws of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any Tenant Party.

Landlord shall reimburse Tenant’s relocation costs within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of such amendment executed by Tenant and reasonably acceptable evidence of Tenant’s payment for all such relocation costs, including unconditional lien releases and invoices evidencing the actual costs. Tenant agrees that it shall make request for reimbursement of all such costs at the same time, and in no event later than ninety (90) days following the date the Relocation Space is made available for occupancy by Tenant.

Any such fees and other expenses incurred by either party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Lease shall be recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment, and such obligation is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Lease and to survive and not be merged into any such judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord utilizes the services of an attorney for the purpose of collecting any Rent due and unpaid by Tenant or in connection with any other breach of this Lease by Tenant following a written demand of Landlord to pay such amounts or cure such breach, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord actual attorneys’ fees as determined by Landlord for such services, irrespective of whether any legal action may be commenced or filed by Landlord. If any such work is performed by in-house counsel for Landlord, the value of such work shall be determined at a reasonable hourly rate for comparable outside counsel; provided, however, the parties hereby confirm that such fees shall be recoverable with respect to legal work performed by Landlord’s in-house counsel only to the extent that such work is not duplicative of legal work performed by outside counsel representing Landlord in such matter.

 

  32.3 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

If Tenant comprises more than one person, all such persons shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of Rent and the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant is a partnership, all current and future general partners of Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable for such obligations. No individual partner or other person shall be deemed to be released from its obligations hereunder except to the extent any such release is expressly set forth in a written agreement executed by Landlord in the exercise of its sole discretion.

 

  32.4 WAIVER

Neither the failure of either party to insist upon the performance or satisfaction by the other party of any obligation or condition under this Lease, nor the failure of either party to exercise any right or remedy available to it, shall constitute a waiver of any such obligation, condition, right or remedy. No such obligation, condition, right or remedy may be waived except pursuant to the express terms of a written instrument, executed by the waiving party, and unconditionally confirming such waiver. No waiver or waivers of any obligation, condition, right or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the same or any other subsequently arising obligation, condition, right or remedy.

 

  32.5 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES; RELATIONSHIP

This Lease is made and entered into solely for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and does not confer any rights or benefits on any other person. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant.

 

  32.6 TIME

Time is of the essence of each and every term, condition and provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor. The parties agree that notwithstanding any Law to the contrary, Landlord has no duty to notify Tenant that Tenant has failed to give any notice which Tenant has the right to give under the Lease, including notice of the exercise of any option.

Each party shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless the other party from all Claims, including attorney fees, arising out of any leasing commission, finder’s fee, or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing to any person on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than the Brokers. No Broker shall be deemed to have earned, or be entitled to receive, any commission or fee as a result of the making of this Lease or the occupancy by Tenant of any space in the Project, except in accordance with the express terms of a separate written agreement, if any, executed by the Broker entitled to receive such commission or fee and the party obligated to pay it. Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of any and all such leasing commissions to the Brokers referenced herein in connection with this Lease pursuant to a separate written agreement. The terms of this Section 32.7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

 

  32.8 GOVERNING LAW

This Lease shall be governed, enforced and construed under the laws of the state in which the Premises are located (the “State”), without regard to any choice of law principles requiring the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Each party hereby submits to local jurisdiction in such State and agrees that any action by either party against the other shall be instituted in the State and that each of them shall have personal jurisdiction over the other for any action brought by either of them in the State.

 

  32.9 INTERPRETATION

This Lease has been negotiated at arms’ length between persons knowledgeable in business and real estate matters who have had the opportunity to confer with counsel in the negotiation hereof. Accordingly, any rule of law or legal decision that would require interpretation of this Lease against the party that drafted it is not applicable and is waived, and this Lease shall be given a fair and reasonable interpretation in accordance with the meaning of its terms. References in this Lease to articles, sections, paragraphs or exhibits pertain to articles, sections, paragraphs and exhibits of this Lease unless otherwise specified. The word “including” means “including, without limitation.” The word “or” means “and/or” unless the context clearly indicates an obligation to choose one of two or more alternatives. The word “person” includes legal entities as well as natural persons. The word “may” means “may, but shall not be required to.” Unless otherwise expressly specified in the applicable provisions, the phrase “at any time” means “at any time and from time to time.” The article, section and paragraph headings in this Lease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Lease, nor shall they affect the meaning, construction or effect hereof. All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include the appropriate number and gender, as the context may require. Any reference to any specific statute, ordinance or other Law shall be deemed to include any amendments thereto, or any successor or similar Law addressing the same subject matter.

 

  32.10 JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Landlord and Tenant agree not to seek, and each waives any right to, trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on any matter or claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Lease, the Project, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any Law or any provisions of this Lease, irrespective of whether any such matter or claim is based in contract or in tort. Neither party shall seek to consolidate any such action in which the right to trial by jury has been waived with any other action in which such right has not been or cannot be waived, it being the intention of the parties that the jury trial waiver shall be subject to no exceptions. The parties agree that the foregoing constitutes a written consent to waiver of trial by jury pursuant to the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §631. Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest,

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

54


and hereby authorizes and empowers Landlord, in the name, place and stead of Tenant, to file this Lease with the clerk or judge of any court of competent jurisdiction as a statutory written consent to waiver of trial by jury. The provisions of this Section 32.10 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

  32.11 RECORDATION

Neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant, by any Tenant Party, or by any other person except Landlord. Any such recording in violation of this Section 32.11 shall constitute a default by Tenant. Within ten (10) days following any request by Landlord or any Superior Interest Holder, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a Memorandum of Lease (“Memorandum” for recordation in such form as may be necessary to provide constructive notice of the Lease (including present words of leasing) and specifying the Lease Date, Commencement Date and Expiration Date, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises, and such other terms of the Lease as Landlord or the Superior Interest Holder deem necessary or desirable.

 

  32.12 SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Lease is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected, and any provision found to be invalid shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by Law. The parties agree that if two different interpretations may be given to any provision hereunder, one of which will render the provision unenforceable, and one of which will render the provision enforceable, the interpretation rendering the provision enforceable shall be adopted.

 

  32.13 FORCE MAJEURE

“Force Majeure Delay” means any delay in the timely performance of any obligation required under this Lease caused by (a) strike, lockout or other labor or industrial dispute or disturbance, civil commotion, act of a public enemy, war, riot, sabotage, blockade or embargo; (b) inability to secure building permits or other required approvals by any Governmental Authority despite diligent efforts to do so; (c) changes in Laws, or changes in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority; (d) lightning, earthquake, fire, storm, hurricane, tornado, flood, washout, territory explosion or act of God; or (e) any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform. To the extent any obligation required under this Lease cannot timely be performed because of any Force Majeure Delay, the time for performance of such obligation shall be extended by a period equal to the period of such Force Majeure Delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, under no circumstances shall any Force Majeure Delay operate to (x) excuse or postpone any obligation of Tenant to timely pay Rent under this Lease; or (y) postpone the Commencement Date or relieve Tenant of any liability or obligation under this Lease as a result of Tenant’s inability to qualify for or obtain any license, approval, conditional use permit, or other permission required by any Governmental Authority in order for Tenant to occupy or conduct any particular business in the Premises.

 

  32.14 NON-DISCLOSURE

The terms of this Lease and the details of its negotiation constitute confidential information pertaining to the Project that is proprietary to Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that its disclosure of any of such information could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that it shall keep (and shall cause its employees, agents, principals and all other Tenant Parties to keep) all such information confidential and shall not disclose all or any portion thereof to any person except: (a) as and to the extent required by Law; and (b) to bona fide prospective assignees or sublessees of Tenant, or to Tenant’s attorneys, tax and financial advisors, lenders and investors, to the extent such persons have a need to know and as necessary for the conduct of Tenant’s business, provided that such persons also first agree in writing to keep all such information confidential for the benefit of Landlord.

  32.15 ACCEPTANCE; COUNTERPARTS

The submission of this Lease by Landlord to Tenant, or to its broker or other agent, does not constitute an offer from Landlord to Tenant for the lease of the Premises. Execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall, in consideration of the time and expense incurred by Landlord in reviewing the Lease and Tenant’s credit, constitute an offer by Tenant to lease the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (which offer to Lease shall be irrevocable for twenty (20) business days following the date of delivery). This Lease shall only become effective and binding upon full execution hereof by Landlord and delivery of a signed copy to Tenant.

  32.16 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

 

  (a) This Lease constitutes the final, complete and exclusive statement among the parties hereto, supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings or agreements of the parties, and is binding on and, subject to the provisions of Article 13, inures to the benefit of their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. No party has been induced to enter into this Lease by, nor is any party relying on, any representation or warranty outside those expressly set forth in this Lease. Any agreement made after the date of this Lease is ineffective to modify, waive, or terminate this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such agreement is in writing, signed by the parties to this Lease, and specifically states that such agreement modifies this Lease.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have entered into this Lease as of the date first set forth above.

EXHIBIT B

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT (the “Improvement Agreement”) is made a part of that certain Lease Agreement (together with all Exhibits thereto, the “Lease”) dated as of July 15, 2005, and made and entered into by and between TRANSAMERICA REALTY SERVICES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and FUSIONSTORM, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Improvement Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Lease.

 

  1. General.

A. The purpose of this Improvement Agreement is to set forth how Landlord’s Work (as that term is hereinafter defined) in and to the Premises is to be designed and constructed, who will pay for the design and construction thereof, and the time schedule for completion thereof.

B. Except as otherwise defined in this Improvement Agreement, all capitalized terms utilized in this Improvement Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.

C. The provisions of this Improvement Agreement are incorporated into and made a part of the Lease. To the extent there are any conflicts between this Improvement Agreement and any of the other documents comprising the Lease with respect to construction of the initial improvements in the Premises as called for in the Approved Plan, this Improvement Agreement shall control.

 

  2. Selection of Designer/Architect: Preparation of Plans.

(a) Prior to the date of the Lease, or promptly after execution of the Lease, Tenant has hired/shall hire a designer and/or architect that has been approved, in advance, in writing by Landlord in its sole discretion (the “Architect”).

(b) Prior to the date of the Lease, Landlord has provided Building background drawings and construction requirements to Tenant. Prior to the date of the Lease Tenant, has provided, or promptly after execution of the Lease Tenant shall provide, such drawings and requirements to the Architect, and Tenant has consulted or shall consult with the Architect to enable the Architect to complete all plans for the Premises contemplated by this Improvement Agreement. Architect shall be familiar with the Building and with all applicable state and local laws, statutes, codes, rules or regulations, including regulations and procedures promulgated by Landlord (collectively “Laws”), applicable to tenant construction in the Building.

(c) Tenant shall devote such time as necessary, and shall cause the Architect to devote such time as necessary, so that by five (5) business days from the Lease Date the Architect prepares and delivers to Landlord a schematic of the Premises showing the tenant improvements that Tenant wishes to construct and install therein (the “Space Plan”), The Space Plan shall be subject to review and approval, in writing, by Landlord (the Space Plan as finally approved by Landlord is referred to herein as the “Approved Space Plan”). Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the Space Plan, provided that the same is consistent with the general character and quality of improvements and design of other first class tenancies in the Building, as determined by Landlord, in good faith, based on its sole business judgment. Any delay in delivery of the Space Plan to Landlord shall be deemed a Tenant Delay (as defined below).

(d) Promptly after approval of the Approved Space Plan, Tenant shall cause the Architect to prepare and submit to Landlord and Tenant complete plans and specifications, based upon the Approved Space Plan (as submitted, the “Detailed Plans and Specifications”). If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall cause the Architect to work with a qualified engineer approved by Landlord to prepare such Detailed Plans and Specifications. The Detailed Plans and Specifications shall be complete, be sufficient to obtain all necessary building permits, and include complete plans for all structural alterations, walls, doors, cabinetry, hardware, telephone outlets, electrical distribution and outlets, light fixtures, plumbing work, voice and data telecommunications lines, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning distribution and other standard or special installations required by Tenant, as well as wall finishes and floor coverings.

(e) Tenant shall devote such time as necessary, and shall cause the Architect to devote such time as necessary, so that Architect prepares and submits to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval the Detailed Plans and Specifications by twenty (20) business days following Landlord’s approval of the Approved Space Plan. The Detailed

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

58


Plans and Specifications shall be subject to review and approval, in writing, by Landlord. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the Detailed Plans and Specifications, provided that the same is consistent with improvements and design shown on the Approved Space Plan, and is in conformance with all Construction Rules and Regulations of Landlord, as determined by Landlord, in good faith, based on its sole business judgment. Landlord will endeavor to respond to Tenant’s submittal of Detailed Plans and Specifications with Landlord’s approval thereof and/or requested changes thereto within ten (10) business days of receiving a complete set of Detailed Plans and Specifications. If Landlord shall reasonably disapprove of any portion of the Detailed Plans and Specifications, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor. Tenant shall then submit revised Detailed Plans and Specifications to Landlord, incorporating those revisions required by Landlord, for Landlord’s approval. Landlord will endeavor to approve or reasonably disapprove any such changes to the Detailed Plans and Specifications not later than five (5) business days following Landlord’s receipt of the revised plans. The foregoing process shall be repeated until the Detailed Plans and Specifications have been approved by both Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, any revisions to the Detailed Plans and Specifications following the first such revision which are due to Tenant’s or the Architect’s failure to modify the Detailed Plans and Specifications to incorporate Landlord’s objections shall be deemed a Tenant Delay. Tenant shall cause the Architect to make any specific changes to the Detailed Plans and Specifications requested by Landlord as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within five (5) business days from Landlord’s request. The Detailed Plans and Specifications, as finally approved by Landlord and Tenant are referred to herein as the “Approved Final Plans.” Any cost or expense incurred by Landlord in connection with the review of Tenant’s Detailed Plans and Specification by Landlord’s designated mechanical, electrical and structural engineers, should Tenant elect to engage engineers other than Landlord’s designated engineers for the preparation of Tenant’s Detailed Plans and Specification, shall be chargeable to Tenant (and deducted from the Allowance). The term “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements, standard or special, shown on the Approved Final Plans; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to construct and/or install any items that are not included within the term Approved Tenant Improvements. In addition, the Approved Final Plans shall incorporate any and all changes to the Detailed Plans and Specifications required by governmental authorities as a condition to approval of a building permit, including, without limitation, and improvements that are required to comply with applicable Laws which have been triggered by the Tenant Improvements (collectively, “Code Compliance Improvements”). The cost of any and all Code Compliance Improvements shall be chargeable to Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for the suitability for Tenant’s needs and business of the design and function of all Tenant Improvements. Landlord’s review and approval of any draft or final plans or specifications shall not constitute, and Landlord shall not be deemed to have made, a representation or warranty as to the compliance of the Tenant Improvements with any Laws or as to the suitability of the Premises or the Tenant Improvements for Tenant’s needs, except as expressly set forth in this Improvement Agreement.

(f) As used herein, the term “Approved Tenant Improvements” shall mean the cost of construction of the alterations and improvements to the Premises approved in accordance with this Improvement Agreement, including, without limitation, architectural design and space plan costs, but excluding any costs for the purchase of any furniture; furnishings, such as rugs, art work, stand alone light fixtures or other non-permanently installed personal property; office equipment, including any audio visual equipment and non Building standard window coverings. As used herein and in the Lease, the term “Landlord’s Work” shall mean and refer to Landlord’s obligation to construct and install the Approved Tenant Improvements in accordance with this Agreement.

 

  3. Cost of Design and Construction.

(a) Landlord shall provide a construction allowance the (the “Allowance”) to be applied to the cost of designing and constructing the Approved Tenant Improvements in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) the actual Cost of the work, or (b) One Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-Two Dollars and No Cents ($129,465.00). “Cost of the Work” means (i) all space planning, architectural and engineering fees and costs in connection with preparation of the Approved Space Plan, the Final Plans and “as-built” drawings, (ii) all fees required by any laws for building permits or inspections, (iii) all costs of labor and materials incurred in connection with the construction of the Approved Tenant Improvements, and (iv) the Construction Management Fee, and (v) other costs incurred by Landlord for services provided directly related to the construction of Landlord’s Work, including, without limitation (if and to the extent applicable and actually incurred) security personnel for loading dock usage, elevator technician services to load oversize construction materials in freight elevator, messenger services and engineering costs to pin lock cylinders. No portion of the Allowance may be used for the purchase or installation of any of Tenant’s Property (including any furniture, fixtures or equipment), or for any other non-permanent improvement in the Premises.

(b) Tenant shall pay the entire cost of the design, approval (including permit fees), of the Tenant Improvements until such time as Landlord approves the Approved Final Plans, whereupon, any such expenses shall,

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

59


provided, no Event of Default exists under the Lease, be reimbursable to Tenant from the Allowance, based on paid invoices and other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord- Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any improvements to the Premises, or to pay any costs in connection with the Tenant Improvements. Promptly upon completion of the Approved Final Plans, Landlord shall obtain a fixed-price or not-to-exceed quotation for construction of the Approved Tenant Improvements, and Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of (i) the total costs of the design and construction of the Approved Tenant Improvements (“Total Cost”), and (ii) the portion of the Total Cost that is in excess of Allowance (“Tenant’s Cost”), Tenant shall approve in writing the Total Cost and Tenant’s Cost within five (5) business days of receiving such notice, and such approval shall constitute Tenant’s authorization to Landlord to complete the Approved Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Final Plans. Tenant shall transmit to Landlord within five (5) business days of such approval payment to Landlord in the amount of Tenant’s Cost (the “Excess Cost Funds”). Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the Excess Cost Funds prior to advancing any funds comprising the Allowance to pay for the cost of the Approved Tenant Improvements under the terms of this Improvement Agreement. Landlord shall not be required to commence construction of the Tenant Improvements until receipt of Tenant’s payment of Tenant’s Excess Cost Funds, and any delay resulting therefrom shall be deemed a Tenant Delay and, at the election of Landlord, shall be deemed a breach in the payment of a monetary charge under the Lease entitling landlord to declare an Event of Default under the Lease (provided that Landlord has complied with the provisions of Section 18(a)(ii) of the Lease with respect to such default).

(c) In connection with the construction of Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction management/administration fee in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Total Cost (the “Construction Management Fee”) for its review of plans and its management and supervision of the progress of the work. Landlord shall be permitted to charge the Construction Management Fee directly against, and deduct the same from, the Allowance.

 

  4. Construction.

(a) Promptly after the Approved Final Plans are approved by Landlord and Tenant and the necessary building permits are obtained, subject to Section 3(a) of this Improvement Agreement, Landlord shall cause to be constructed and installed, as soon as reasonably practicable, consistent with industry custom and practice, the Approved Tenant Improvements indicated on the Approved Final Plans. Whenever possible and practical, Landlord will utilize, for the construction of the Approved Tenant Improvements, the items and materials designated in the Approved Final Plans. However, whenever Landlord determines in its judgment that it is not practical or efficient to use such materials, Landlord shall have the right, upon receipt of Tenant’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to substitute comparable items and materials. Landlord shall solicit bids from three (3) qualified and reputable general contractors on Landlord’s approved list of contractors for the Building, subject to Tenant’s approval of Landlord’s selection, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any and all subcontractors shall be selected by the general contractor based on competitive bidding from Landlord’s approved list of contractors for the Building; provided, however, any and all life safety work shall be performed by contractors selected by Landlord without competitive bidding. Any delay by Tenant in the approval of Landlord’s contractors shall be deemed a Tenant Delay. Landlord will meet with Tenant to perform a reconciliation of the submitted bids to adjust for inconsistent or incorrect assumptions so that a like-kind comparison can be made and contractors selected; provided, however, the decision on selection of the general contractor shall be made solely by Landlord.

(b) For the purposes of this Improvement Agreement, Landlord’s Work shall be deemed “substantially complete” when all Approved Tenant Improvements have been constructed, except for minor details of construction, decoration or mechanical adjustment that, individually or in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises (items normally referred to as “Punch-List” items). Landlord’s Work may be deemed substantially complete even though improvements in certain portions of the Building which have been triggered by or are related to the Tenant Improvements have not been fully completed (so long as such does not interfere with Tenant’s efficient conduct of its business), and even though Tenant’s Property may have not been installed. Landlord shall cause the Punch-List items to be completed or corrected as soon as reasonably practical, in accordance with the Lease.

(c) Landlord shall construct the Approved Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Final Plans, and, accordingly, to the extent the Approved Tenant Improvements have been shown on the Approved Final Plans, in accordance with applicable Laws.

5. Changes. If Tenant shall request any change, addition or deletion in the Approved Final Plans or the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such changes, provided the changes do not adversely affect the Building’s structure, systems, equipment, security system or appearance. Landlord shall promptly give

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

60


Tenant a written estimate of the cost which will be chargeable (or creditable) to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or deletion, including the costs of the engineering and design services to prepare a change order therefor (the “Change Order”), and the time delay expected because of the requested change. Tenant shall within three (3) business days of receiving such written estimate notify Landlord in writing whether or not it desires to proceed with such change, addition or deletion. If such changes, including the costs of preparing the Change Order, increase the Total Cost of the Approved Tenant Improvements shown on the Approved Final Plans, Tenant shall pay such increased costs to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Tenant authorizes such change. Tenant shall be chargeable with any delay in the completion of Tenant Improvements caused from the preparation and/or implementation of the Change Order in accordance with Section 6 of this Improvement Agreement.

 

  6. Tenant Delays.

(a) If the completion of Landlord’s Work in the Premises is delayed (after netting out any Landlord Delay and any delay caused by Force Majeure, as both terms are defined below) (i) at the request of Tenant, (ii) by Tenant’s failure to comply with the foregoing provisions, including failure to provide the Space Plans or the Detailed Plans and Specifications or other information or give approvals within the time periods specified herein and failure to pay any sums payable by Tenant within the time periods specified herein, (iii) by changes, additions or deletions in the work requested or ordered by Tenant, (iv) because Tenant chooses to have additional work performed by Landlord, or (v) because of any other act or omission of Tenant (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Tenant Delay”), then Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and any expenses occasioned by such delay including, without limitation, any costs and expenses attributable to increases in labor or materials, and Base Rent with respect to the Premises shall accrue and be chargeable to Tenant based on the date that the Rent Commencement Date would have occurred but for delays resulting from Tenant Delays, as determined solely by Landlord in good faith based on its sole business judgment.

(b) In performing its obligations under this Improvement Agreement, Landlord shall act with reasonable diligence and in a timely manner. Whenever the submittals from Tenant require an approval, consent, designation or determination of Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Improvement Agreement (individually and collectively, a “Landlord Review”), Landlord shall provide the Landlord Review within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of a written request from Tenant for the same (except for the Landlord Review of the Detailed Plans and Specifications, as to which Landlord shall have ten (10) business days to review the same); provided, however, that Tenant’s written request must be specific as to what Landlord is being asked to do and must be accompanied by sufficient information, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, for Landlord to provide the Landlord Review. In the event that Landlord has not been provided with sufficient information, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such deficiency within said five (5) (or ten (10) as the case may be) business day period and shall have another five (5) business days to provide the Landlord Review after Landlord’s receipt of the required information from Tenant. If the completion of Landlord’s Work is delayed (i) at the request of Landlord, or (ii) by Landlord’s failure to provide the Landlord Review or give approvals within the time periods specified herein (a “Landlord Delay”), then such period shall be netted from or otherwise subtracted from any period of Tenant Delays (to the extent applicable), and the Commencement Date shall be delayed as provided in the Lease but Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant as a consequence thereof. Events of Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined) shall not be included as a delay that is a Tenant Delay or a Landlord Delay.

(c) Landlord shall have the right to cease all Landlord’s Work in the event the number of days attributable to Tenant Delays exceeds the aggregate of twenty (20) days, unless Tenant gives unconditional approval to all Approved Tenant Improvements in a manner requested by Landlord to allow Landlord to proceed with the immediate construction of the Approved Tenant Improvements. The failure of Tenant to provide such unconditional approval within three (3) business days after written demand therefor from Landlord shall constitute a non-curable Event of Default under the Lease.

7. Access During Construction. Upon prior written Notice to, and with the prior consent of, Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) Tenant may (i) enter and inspect the Premises during the construction of the Landlord’s Work, and (ii) install Tenant’s Personal Property and equipment as long as such entry will not interfere with the orderly construction and completion of the Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall notify Landlord of its desired time(s) of entry and shall submit for Landlord’s approval the scope of the work to be performed and the name(s) of the contractor(s) who will perform such work. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, any mortgagee, ground lessor or beneficiary of a deed of trust related to the Premises or the Building, and any officers, agents or employees of any thereof, from and against any claims, liens, liabilities or causes of action (including claims for worker’s compensation) of any nature whatsoever, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees for counsel of Landlord’s choice, arising out of or in connection with such entry onto the Premises or the installation of

 

FUSIONSTORM, Inc. – Two Bryant Street, July 12, 2005

61


Tenant’s Personal Property or equipment (including but not limited to claims of breach of warranty, personal injury or property damage). Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive discretion, to settle, compromise, or otherwise dispose of any and all such suits, claims, liens and actions. Landlord shall notify Tenant when the Approved Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed and, at that time, Tenant shall be authorized to access and use the Premises (for purposes other than as provided in this Section 7) in accordance with the Lease.

8. Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” shall mean strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, shortages of material or labor, fire, earthquake, flood or other casualty, acts of terror or war, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.

9. As-Built Drawings. Promptly after completion of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause the Architect to provide to Landlord as-built drawings of the Tenant Improvements in the form of a hard copy and in the form of an Auto-Cad file.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Improvement Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
