1. LEASE AGREEMENT. On the terms stated in this Lease, Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, for the Term beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the Termination Date unless extended or sooner terminated pursuant to this Lease.
A. Commencement Date. The commencement date (Commencement Date) for this Lease is the date set forth in the Schedule. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Substantial Completion Date (as defined in Section 4 of the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C) to occur on or before the date which is eight (8) weeks following the date next to Landlords signature hereof below (the Target Completion Date); provided, however, that the Target Completion Date shall be extended one day for each day that the Substantial Completion Date is delayed due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined in Section 12.B of the Lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Substantial Completion Date fails to occur for any reason on or before the Target Completion Date, then (a) this Lease shall not be void or voidable by either party, and (b) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; provided, however, that as Tenants sole and exclusive remedies for such failure: (1) for each day that such failure continues from the thirtyfirst (31st) day until the ninetieth (90th) day following the Target Completion Date, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit of $250 per day to be applied, until exhausted, to Tenants Rent obligations hereunder following the Commencement Date; and (2) if such failure continues for ninety (90) days or more following the Target Completion Date, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written notice thereof to Landlord; provided, however, that if the Substantial Completion Date occurs within such ten (10) day period, such termination shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Following the determination of the Substantial Completion Date pursuant to Section 4 of the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a Commencement Date Confirmation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E that sets forth both the Commencement Date and Termination Date for this Lease. Tenant shall execute the Commencement Date Confirmation and deliver the executed original of the same to Landlord within three (3) days of Tenants receipt thereof. Tenants failure to timely execute and return the Commencement Date Confirmation document to Landlord shall be conclusive evidence of Tenants agreement with the information as set forth therein. This Lease shall be a binding contractual obligation effective upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding the later commencement of the Lease Term.
B. Termination Date. The termination date (Termination Date) of this Lease is the date set forth in the Schedule.
C. Free Rent Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date through the thirtieth (30th) day thereafter (the Free Rent Period), Tenant shall be permitted to occupy the Premises for the purpose of conducting business therein, subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that Tenants obligation to pay Base Rent and Operating Cost and Tax Share Rent (as such terms are defined in Sections 2.A(1) through 2.A(3) below) during the Free Rent Period shall be waived.
1
D. Termination of Existing Lease. Pursuant to that certain Lease dated as of December 28, 2001 between Landlord and Tenant, as amended (the Existing Lease), Tenant currently leases certain premises in the Building commonly known as Suites 115 and 130, as more particularly described in the Existing Lease (the Existing Premises). The term of the Existing Lease is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2004. In consideration of Tenant entering into this Lease, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Existing Lease shall early terminate as of 11:59 p.m. on the day before the Commencement Date of this Lease (the Existing Premises Termination Date); provided, however, that Landlord shall permit Tenant to continue to occupy the Existing Premises for no more than seven (7) days following the Commencement Date of this Lease (the Existing Premises Vacation Deadline), subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Existing Lease, except that Landlord shall waive Tenants obligation to pay Base Rent or Operating Cost, Utility Cost or Tax Share Rent in connection with the Existing Premises during such seven (7) day period. On or before the Existing Premises Vacation Deadline, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Existing Premises in the condition required under the Existing Lease, and Tenants failure to do so shall constitute a holdover subject to the provisions Section 15 of the Existing Lease, including the payment of Base Rent and Operating Cost, Utility Cost or Tax Share Rent as set forth therein, based upon the rate in effect immediately prior to the Existing Premises Termination Date.

2
2. Operating Cost Share Rent equal to Tenants Proportionate Share (as set forth in the Schedule) of the amount by which Operating Costs for the applicable Fiscal Year (as defined in Section 2.C(5) below) of this Lease exceed the Operating Costs for the Base Year (as set forth in the Schedule), paid monthly in advance in an estimated amount. The definition of Operating Costs and the method for billing and payment of Operating Cost Share Rent are set forth in Sections 2.B, 2.C and 2.D.
3. Tax Share Rent equal to Tenants Proportionate Share of the amount by which Taxes for the applicable Fiscal Year of this Lease exceed the Taxes for the Base Year, paid monthly in advance in an estimated amount. A definition of Taxes and the method for billing and payment of Tax Share Rent are set forth in Sections 2.B, 2.C and 2.D.
As used in this Lease, the term Rent means Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, Tax Share Rent and all other costs, expenses, liabilities, and amounts which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease (Additional Rent), including any interest for late payment. Tenants agreement to pay Rent is an independent covenant, with no right of setoff, deduction or counterclaim of any kind.
B. Payment of Operating Cost and Tax Share Rent.
1. Payment of Estimated Operating Cost and Tax Share Rent.
(a) Before the commencement Date and by April 1 of each succeeding Fiscal Year, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its estimate of the payments to be made pursuant to Sections 2.A(2) and 2.A(3) above for the then applicable Fiscal Year. Landlord may revise these estimates by written notice to Tenant whenever it obtains more accurate information, such as the final real estate tax assessment or tax rate for the Project, in which event subsequent monthly payments by Tenant for such Fiscal Year shall be based upon such revised estimate.
(b) Within ten (10) days after receiving Landlords notice regarding the original or revised estimate of the monthly payments to be made pursuant to Sections 2.A(2) and 2.A(3) above for a particular Fiscal Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the product of such estimated monthly payments (as set forth in Landlords notice), multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable Fiscal Year to the date of such payment including the current month, minus any payments on account thereof previously made by Tenant for the months elapsed. On the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord the estimated monthly payments as set forth in Landlords most recent notice, until a new estimate becomes applicable.
2. Correction of Operating Cost and Tax Share Rent. Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the close of each Fiscal Year or as soon after such 150-day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of (a) Operating Costs and Taxes for such Fiscal Year, and (b) the payments made by Tenant under Section 2.B(1) above for such Fiscal Year (the Annual Expense Statement). If, on the basis of such Annual Expense Statements, Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such Fiscal Year previously made by Tenant, Landlord, at its election, shall either promptly refund the amount of
3
the overpayment to Tenant or, if this Lease is still in effect, credit such excess against Tenants subsequent obligations to pay Operating Costs and Taxes. If, on the basis of such Annual Expense Statements, Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for such Fiscal Year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within twenty (20) days after Landlords delivery of such Annual Expense Statements to Tenant.
C. Definitions.
1. Included Operating Costs.
(a) Operating Costs means any expenses, costs and disbursements of any kind other than Taxes, paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance, operation, insurance (including the related deductibles), repair and other related activities in connection with any part of the Project and of the personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all electricity, water, gas, sewers, oil and other utilities (collectively, Utilities), including any surcharges imposed, serving the Project or any part thereof (but excluding the cost of Utilities directly billed to Tenant or other tenants in the Project), the cost of providing those services required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease. Operating Costs shall also include the costs of any capital improvements made after the Base Year which are intended to reduce Operating Costs or improve safety, and those made after the Base Year to keep the Project in compliance with Governmental Requirements (as defined in Section 5.A(3)(c) below) applicable from time to time or to repair or replace existing capital improvements, facilities and equipment within the Project, such as the roof membrane and resurfacing of the parking areas (collectively, Included Capital Items); provided, that the costs of any Included Capital Item shall be amortized by Landlord, together with an amount equal to interest at ten percent (10%) per annum, over the estimated useful life of such item and such amortized costs are only included in Operating Costs for that portion of the useful life of the Included Capital Item which falls within the Term, unless the cost of the Included Capital Item is less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in which case it shall be expensed in the year in which it was incurred.
(b) If the Project contains more than one building, then Operating Costs shall include (i) all Operating Costs fairly allocable to the Building, and (ii) a proportionate share (based on the gross rentable area of the Building as a percentage of the gross rentable area of all of the buildings in the Project) of all Operating Costs which relate to the Project in general and are not fairly allocable to any one building in the Project.
(c) If the Project is not fully occupied during any portion of any Fiscal Year, Landlord may adjust (an Equitable Adjustment) Operating Costs to equal what would have been incurred by Landlord had the Project been fully occupied. This Equitable Adjustment shall apply only to Operating Costs which are variable and therefore increase as occupancy of the Project increases. Landlord may incorporate the Equitable Adjustment in its estimates of Operating Costs.
(d) If any tenant of the Project contracts directly with Landlord or a third party for any Utilities or services for which Tenant pays Landlord pursuant to Section
4
2.A(2) above, the total costs of such Utilities or services for the Project shall be grossed up to reflect what those costs would have been had such tenant(s) not directly contracted for such Utilities or services. Further, in no event shall the components of Operating Costs for any Fiscal Year related to security or insurance costs be less than the components of Operating Costs related to security or insurance costs, as applicable, included in the Operating Costs for the Base Year.
2. Excluded Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall not include:
(a) | costs of leasehold improvements or alterations to tenant premises, except to the extent that capital improvements or alterations are required to comply with Governmental Requirements that were not in effect as of the Commencement Date (the cost of which shall be an Included Capital Item); | ||
(b) | costs of capital improvements other than Included Capital Items; | ||
(c) | interest and principal payments on mortgages or any other debt costs (except as provided in Section 2.C(1) above with regard to Included Capital Items), or rental payments on any ground lease of the Project; | ||
(d) | real estate brokers leasing commissions; | ||
(e) | legal fees, space planner fees and advertising expenses incurred with regard to leasing the Project or portions thereof; | ||
(f) | any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, by insurance proceeds or otherwise, except by Operating Cost Share Rent; | ||
(g) | the cost of any service furnished to any office tenant of the Project which Landlord does not make available to Tenant; | ||
(h) | depreciation (except on any Included Capital Items); | ||
(i) | franchise or income taxes imposed upon Landlord, except to the extent imposed in lieu of all or any part of Taxes; | ||
(j) | costs of correcting defects in construction of the Project (as opposed to the cost of normal repair, maintenance and replacement expected with the construction materials and equipment installed in the Project in light of their specifications); |
5
(k) | legal and auditing fees incurred for the benefit of Landlord such as collecting delinquent rents, preparing tax returns and other financial statements, and audits other than those incurred in connection with the preparation of reports required pursuant to Section 2.B above; | ||
(l) | the wages of any employee for services not related directly to the management, maintenance, operation and repair of the Project; | ||
(m) | fines, penalties and interest incurred by Landlord for late payment by Landlord or violations of law; | ||
(n) | management fees in excess of the greater of (i) three percent (3%) of the annual gross revenues for the Project adjusted to reflect a one hundred percent (100%) occupancy of the Project with tenants paying rent at Landlords quoted rates, or (ii) those charged by landlords of comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Project; and | ||
(o) | for the Base Year only, market-wide labor-rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances, such as boycotts or strikes, and utility rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, conservation surcharges, boycotts, embargoes or other shortages. |
3. Taxes.
(a) Taxes means any and all taxes, assessments and charges of any kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, levied against the Project, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay in connection with the ownership, leasing, renting, management, use, occupancy, control or operation of the Project or of the personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection therewith. Taxes shall include real estate taxes, personal property taxes, sewer rents, water rents, special or general assessments, transit taxes, ad valorem taxes, and any tax levied on the rents hereunder or the interest of Landlord under this Lease (the Rent Tax). Taxes shall also include all fees and other costs and expenses paid by Landlord in reviewing any tax and in seeking a refund or reduction of any Taxes, whether or not the Landlord is ultimately successful. Taxes shall also include any assessments or fees paid to any business park owners association, or similar entity, which are imposed against the Project pursuant to any Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) recorded against the Project and any installments of principal and interest required to pay any existing or future general or special assessments for public improvements, services or benefits, and any increases resulting from reassessments imposed in connection with any change in ownership or new construction.
(b) If the Project contains more than one building, then Taxes shall include (i) all Taxes fairly allocable to the Building, and (ii) a proportionate share (based on
6
the gross rentable area of the Building as a percentage of the gross rentable area of all of the buildings in the Project) of all Taxes which relate to the Project in general and are not fairly allocable to any one building in the Project.
(c) For any year, the amount to be included in Taxes (i) from taxes or assessments payable in installments, shall be the amount of the installments (with any interest) due and payable during such year, and (ii) from all other Taxes, shall at Landlords election be the amount accrued, assessed, or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable in such year, provided that following the retirement of any such assessment liens or bonds, the Taxes allocable to the Base Year shall be adjusted to eliminate that portion included therein, if any, that related to such retired assessment liens or bonds. Any refund or other adjustment to any Taxes by the taxing authority, shall apply during the year in which the adjustment is made. Taxes shall not include any net income (except Rent Tax), capital, stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance tax, except to the extent that such tax shall be imposed in lieu of any portion of Taxes.
4. Lease Year. Lease Year means each consecutive twelve month period beginning with the Commencement Date, except that if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall be the period from the Commencement Date through the final day of the calendar month during which the first anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, and subsequent Lease Years shall be each succeeding twelve month period during the Term following the first Lease Year.
5. Fiscal Year. Fiscal Year means each calendar year during which any portion of the Term occurs (e.g., the first Fiscal Year shall be the calendar year during which the Commencement Date occurs.)
D. Computation of Base Rent and Rent Adjustments.
1. Prorations. In the event (a) the Commencement Date is a date other than January 1, (b) the Termination Date is a date other than December 31, (c) of any early termination of this Lease, or (d) of any increase or decrease in the size of the Premises, then in each such event, the Base Rent, the Expense Stops, the Operating Cost Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such event on a basis reasonably determined by Landlord to be consistent with the principles underlying the provisions of this Section 2.
2. Interest Rate. Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law (the Interest Rate).
3. Rent Adjustments. The square footage of the Premises and the Building set forth in the Schedule are conclusively deemed to be the actual square footage thereof, without regard to any subsequent remeasurement of the Premises or the Building. If any Operating Cost paid in one Fiscal Year relates to more than one Fiscal Year, Landlord may proportionately allocate such Operating Cost among the related Fiscal Years.
4. Books and Records. Landlord shall maintain books and records reflecting the Operating Costs and Taxes in accordance with sound accounting and management
7
practices. Tenant and its certified public accountant or other qualified representative (provided that such accountant or representative is not compensated on a contingent fee basis) shall have the right to inspect Landlords records at Landlords applicable local office or other location designated by Landlord upon at least seventy-two (72) hours prior notice during normal business hours during the ninety (90) days following Landlords delivery of the Annual Expense Statement to Tenant. The results of any such inspection shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and its agents, and Tenant and its certified public accountant or other qualified representative must agree, in their contract for such services, to such confidentiality restrictions and shall specifically agree that the results shall not be made available to any other tenant of the Project. Unless Tenant sends to Landlord any written exception to an Annual Expense Statement within said ninety (90) day period, such Annual Expense Statement shall be deemed final and accepted by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the amount shown on any Annual Expense Statement in the manner prescribed in this Lease, whether or not Tenant takes any such written exception, without any prejudice to such exception. If Tenant makes a timely exception, Landlord shall cause its independent certified public accountant to issue a final and conclusive resolution of Tenants exception. Tenant shall pay the cost of such certification unless Landlords original determination of annual Operating Costs and Taxes overstated the amounts thereof, in the aggregate, by more than five percent (5%).
5. Miscellaneous. So long as Tenant is in default (after any applicable notice and beyond any applicable cure period) of any obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any refund of any amount from Landlord. If this Lease is terminated for any reason prior to the annual determination of Operating Cost or Tax Share Rent, either party shall pay the full amount due to the other within fifteen (15) days after Landlords notice to Tenant of the amount when it is determined. Landlord may commingle any payments made with respect to Operating Cost and Tax Share Rent, without payment of interest.
E. Additional Rent Upon Default by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that to induce Tenant to enter into this Lease, and in consideration of Tenants agreement to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, as and when performance is due during the Term, Landlord has incurred (or will incur) significant costs, including, without limitation, the following: (i) expenditures incurred in connection with the performance of Landlords Work, (ii) commissions to Landlords and/or Tenants real estate broker, (iii) attorneys fees and related costs incurred and/or paid by Landlord in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Lease, and/or (iv) the rent abatement granted to Tenant during the Free Rent Period described above (collectively, the Inducements). Landlord and Tenant further acknowledge that Landlord would not have granted the Inducements to Tenant but for Tenants agreement to perform all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed by it under this Lease for the entire Term, and that Landlords agreement to incur such expenditures and grant such concessions is, and shall remain, conditioned upon Tenants faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease for the entire Term. Accordingly, if a default by Tenant shall occur hereunder, Landlord shall be relieved of any unfulfilled obligation to grant Inducements hereunder, or to incur further expenses in connection therewith, and Tenant shall pay, as liquidated damages for Landlords granting the Inducements and not as a penalty, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of the default, as Additional Rent, the amount of those Inducements incurred or granted prior to the date of the default (the Pre-Default Inducements).
8
Landlord may or, at Tenants request, shall, after the occurrence of a default, forward a statement to Tenant setting forth the amount of the Pre-Default Inducements, but the failure to deliver such a statement shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver of the right to collect the Pre-Default Inducements or to extend the date upon which such amount shall be due and payable.
3. PREPARATION AND CONDITION OF PREMISES; TENANTS POSSESSION.
A. Condition of Premises. Except for Landlords Work (as defined in the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C) and as otherwise set forth in Section 7.A. 1 hereof, Landlord is leasing the Premises to Tenant as is with the existing paint and carpet, without any obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair or decorate any part of the Premises and without any express or implied representations or warranties of any kind.
B. Tenants Possession. Tenants taking possession of any portion of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises was in good order, repair and condition.
C. Maintenance. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in their condition as of the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, loss or damage caused by the elements, ordinary wear, and fire and other casualty excepted, and at the termination of this Lease, or Tenants right to possession, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in the condition required under Section 14 below. To the extent Tenant fails to perform either obligation, Landlord may, but need not, restore the Premises to such condition and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof.
4. PROJECT SERVICES.
A. Heating and Air Conditioning.
1. During the normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday (the Normal Business Hours), Landlord shall furnish heating and air conditioning to provide a comfortable temperature, in Landlords judgment, for normal business operations, except to the extent Tenant fails to take reasonable steps to ensure the efficient heating and cooling of the Premises (e.g., keeping all exterior doors, windows closed) or uses or installs equipment which adversely affects the temperature maintained by the air conditioning system. If Tenant uses or installs such equipment, Landlord may install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent the cost of installation, operation and maintenance thereof. Tenant acknowledges that the temperatures within the Premises may be slightly higher than usual if the outside temperature exceeds 95 degrees F dry bulb.
2. Landlord shall furnish heating and air conditioning after Normal Business Hours if Tenant provides Landlord reasonable prior notice, and pays Landlord as Additional Rent all the then current charges for such additional heating or air conditioning.
B. Elevators. If the Building is equipped with one or more elevators, Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service during Normal Business Hours to Tenant in common with Landlord and all other tenants. Landlord shall provide limited passenger service at
9
other times, except in case of an emergency. If the Building is equipped with a freight elevator, Landlord shall provide freight elevator service at reasonable hours at Tenants request, subject to scheduling by the Landlord and payment for the service by Tenant.
C. Electricity. During Normal Business Hours, Landlord shall provide sufficient electricity to operate normal office lighting and a reasonable amount of office equipment and machinery. Tenant shall not install or operate in the Premises any electrically operated equipment or other machinery, without obtaining Landlords prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Landlords prior written consent shall not be required if (i) Tenant uses only such equipment or machinery that is normally employed for general office use and which does not require high electricity consumption for operation, and (ii) Tenant uses only usual and customary quantities of such general office equipment or machinery. If any of Tenants equipment or machinery requires electricity consumption in excess of that which is necessary to operate normal general office equipment or machinery (e.g., computer rooms, telephone rooms and special HVAC equipment), or if Tenant uses more than the usual and customary quantities of such normal general office equipment or machinery, or if Landlord determines that Tenant is using a disproportionate share of the electrical capacity available for the Building or Project (i.e., electrical usage in excess of that which would typically be used for general office purposes), then Landlord at its election may, in addition to Landlords right to withhold consent to Tenants installation or operation of such equipment or other machinery in the Premises, (1) periodically charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, a sum equal to Landlords reasonable estimate of the cost of Tenants excess electricity use, (2) install, at Tenants expense, a separate meter to measure the electricity supplied to the Premises, and/or (3) at Tenants expense, install additional equipment to increase the electrical capacity for the Building or Project to offset such excess usage by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for the cost of its submetered consumption based upon Landlords reasonable estimate of the cost of such electricity. Tenant shall not permit electricity to be wasted.
D. Water. Landlord shall furnish hot and cold tap water for drinking and toilet purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for water furnished for any other purpose as Additional Rent at rates fixed by Landlord. Neither Tenant nor its employees, agents or invitees shall cause water to be wasted in, on or around the Project.
E. Janitorial Service. Landlord shall furnish janitorial service Monday through Friday as generally provided to other tenants in the Project. With reasonable prior notice from Tenant, Landlord shall also provide additional janitorial service on weekends or holidays at Tenants expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for the cost of such additional janitorial services. Such Additional Rent shall be in addition to Tenants obligations pursuant to Section 2.A(2) to pay its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.
F. Interruption of Services. If any of the Building equipment or machinery ceases to function properly for any cause Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly. Landlords inability to furnish, to any extent, the Project services set forth in this Section 4, or any cessation thereof resulting from any causes, including any entry for repairs pursuant to this Lease, and any renovation, redecoration or rehabilitation of any area of the Project, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either person or property or for
10
interruption or loss to Tenants business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of any portion of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof.
5. ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS.
A. Landlords Consent and Conditions.
1. Tenant shall not make any improvements or alterations to the Premises (the Work) without in each instance submitting plans and specifications for the Work to Landlord and obtaining Landlords prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall pay Landlords standard charge (or, if Landlord does not have a standard charge, then Landlords actual costs incurred) for review of all of the plans and all other items submitted by Tenant. Landlord will be deemed to be acting reasonably in withholding its consent for any Work which (a) impacts the base structural components or the Building Systems, (b) adversely impacts any other tenants premises, (c) is visible from outside the Premises, or (d) would utilize building materials or equipment which are inconsistent with Landlords standard building materials and equipment for the Building.
2. Tenant shall pay for the cost of all Work, including the cost of any and all approvals, permits, fees and other charges which may be required as a condition of performing such Work. Upon completion, all Work shall become the property of Landlord, except for Tenants trade fixtures and for items which Landlord requires Tenant to remove at Tenants cost at the termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 14.
3. The following requirements shall apply to all Work:
(a) Prior to commencement, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord building permits, certificates of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and, at Landlords request, security for payment of all costs.
(b) Tenant shall perform all Work so as to maintain peace and harmony among other contractors serving the Project and shall avoid interference with other work to be performed or services to be rendered in the Project.
(c) The Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, meeting the standard for construction and quality of materials in the Building, and shall comply with all insurance requirements and all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations (Governmental Requirements).
(d) Tenant shall perform all Work so as to minimize or prevent disruption to other tenants, and Tenant shall comply with all reasonable requests of Landlord in response to complaints from other tenants.
(e) Tenant shall perform all Work in compliance with any Policies, Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects which may be in effect at the time the Work is performed.
11
(f) All Work shall be performed only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (i) Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and architects to perform work affecting the Building Systems; and (ii) if Landlord consents to any Work that requires work to be performed outside the Premises, Landlord may elect to perform such work at Tenants expense.
(g) Tenant shall permit Landlord to supervise all Work, including, without limitation, the right (but not an obligation) to inspect the construction work during the progress thereof, and to require corrections of faulty construction or any material deviation from the plans for such Work as approved by Landlord; provided, however, that no such inspection shall be deemed to create any liability on the part of Landlord, or constitute a representation by Landlord or any person hired to perform such inspection that the work so inspected conforms with such plans or complies with any Governmental Requirements, and no such inspection shall give rise to a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, Landlords continuing right at any time or from time to time to require the correction of any faulty work or any material deviation from such plans.
(h) Landlord may charge a supervisory fee not to exceed three percent (3%) of labor, material, and all other costs of the Work to compensate Landlord for its review of plans and its management and supervision of the progress of the work.
(i) Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractors affidavits and full and final statutory waivers of liens, as-built plans and specifications, and receipted bills covering all labor and materials, and all other close-out documentation related to the Work, including any other information required under any Policies, Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects which may be in effect at the time.
B. Repairs. If any part of the mechanical, electrical or other systems (e.g., HVAC, life safety or automatic fire extinguisher/sprinkler system) (collectively, the Building Systems) in the Premises shall be damaged during the performance of the Work, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord, and Landlord may elect to repair such damage at Tenants expense. Alternatively, Landlord may require Tenant to repair such damage at Tenants sole expense using contractors approved by Landlord. Landlord may also at any reasonable time make any repairs or alterations which Landlord deems necessary for the safety or protection of the Project, or which Landlord is required to make by any court or pursuant to any Governmental Requirement. The cost of any repairs made by Landlord on account of Tenants default, or on account of the misuse or neglect by Tenant or any Tenant Parties (as defined in Section 8.B(1) below) anywhere in the Project, shall become Additional Rent payable by Tenant on demand. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7.A hereof, Tenant shall at its expense make all other repairs necessary to keep the Premises, Tenants fixtures and personal property, in good order, condition and repair in compliance with all applicable Governmental Requirements; and to the extent Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may make such repairs itself at Tenants expense. It is a condition precedent to all Landlords obligations to repair and maintain that Landlord shall have received notice from Tenant (or, in the case of a violation of a Governmental Requirement, the governmental authority with jurisdiction) of the need of such repairs or maintenance. Tenant waives the provisions of Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar or
12
successor law regarding Tenants right to make repairs and deduct the cost of such repairs from the Rent due under this Lease.
C. No Liens. Tenant has no authority to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind to affect Landlords interest in the Project; any such lien or encumbrance shall attach to Tenants interest only. If any mechanics lien shall be filed or claim of lien made for work or materials furnished to Tenant, then Tenant shall at its expense, within ten (10) days after Tenant receives notice of such lien, either discharge or contest the lien or claim. If Tenant contests the lien or claim, then Tenant shall (i) within such ten (10) day period, provide Landlord adequate security for the lien or claim, (ii) contest the lien or claim in good faith by appropriate proceedings that operate to stay its enforcement, and (iii) pay promptly any final adverse judgment entered in any such proceeding. If Tenant does not comply with these requirements, Landlord may discharge the lien or claim, and the amount paid, as well as attorneys fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord, shall become Additional Rent payable by Tenant on demand.
D. Ownership of Improvements. All Work as defined in this Section 5, partitions, and all other improvements and all fixtures except trade fixtures, constructed in the Premises by either Landlord or Tenant, (i) shall become Landlords property upon installation without compensation to Tenant, unless Landlord consents otherwise in writing, and (ii) shall at Landlords option either (a) be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises at the termination of the Lease or of Tenants right to possession, or (b) be removed in accordance with Section 14 below (unless Landlord at the time it gives its consent to the performance of such construction expressly waives in writing the right to require such removal).
6. USE OF PREMISES.
A. Limitation on Use. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use stated in the Schedule. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which will increase the cost of coverage of Landlords insurance on the Project. Except for de minimis quantities of general office supplies customarily used by office tenants in the ordinary course of their business, including, but not limited to, copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink and cleaning solvents (which supplies Tenant agrees to use and store in compliance with all applicable Governmental Requirements), Tenant shall not allow any inflammable or explosive liquids or materials to be kept on the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which would cause the value or utility of any part of the Premises to diminish or would materially interfere with any other tenant or with the operation of the Project by Landlord. Tenant shall not permit any nuisance or waste to occur in, on, or about the Project, or allow any offensive noise or odor in or around the Project. At the end of each business day, or more frequently if necessary, Tenant shall deposit all garbage and other trash (excluding any inflammable, explosive and/or hazardous materials) in trash bins or containers approved by Landlord in locations designated by Landlord from time to time. If any governmental authority shall deem the Premises to be a place of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or any other comparable law as a result of Tenants use, Tenant shall either modify its use to cause such authority to rescind its designation or be responsible for any alterations, structural or otherwise, required to be made to the Building or the Premises under such laws.
13
B. Signs. Tenant shall not place on any portion of the Premises any sign, placard, lettering, banner, displays, graphic, decor or other advertising or communicative material which is visible from the exterior of the Premises without the prior written approval of Landlord. Any approved signs shall strictly conform to all Governmental Requirements, any CC&Rs recorded against the Project, and Landlords Signage Standards in effect at the time, and shall be installed and removed at Tenants expense. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain such signs in good condition and repair during the Term. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant at its sole cost shall remove all of its exterior signage and repair any and all damage caused to the Building and/or Project (including and fading or discoloration) by such signs and/or the removal of such signs from the Building and/or Project. Landlords current Signage Standards are attached hereto as Exhibit D. Landlord shall, at Landlords expense, install the Building standard sign containing Tenants name at the entrance to the Premises and include Tenants name in the tenant directory located in the lobby in the first floor of the Building and the Building monument sign.
C. Parking. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to park in the Projects parking facilities in common with other tenants of the Project upon such reasonable terms and conditions as may from time to time be established by Landlord. Tenant agrees not to overburden the parking facilities (i.e., use more than the number of unassigned parking stalls indicated on the Schedule) and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in the Project in the use of the parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right in its reasonable discretion to determine whether the parking facilities are becoming crowded and to allocate and assign parking spaces among Tenant and the other tenants in the Project; provided, however, that no such allocation or assignment shall reduce the number of parking spaces, as set forth the Schedule, that Tenant is entitled to use. Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant the portion that Landlord reasonably deems allocable to Tenant of any charges (e.g., fees or taxes) imposed by the Regional Air Quality Control Board or other governmental or quasi- governmental agency in connection with the parking facilities (e.g., in connection with operation or use of the parking facilities). Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall this Lease be affected, if any parking is impaired by (or if any parking charges are imposed as a result of) any moratorium, initiative, referendum, law, ordinance, regulation or order passed, issued or made by any governmental or quasi-governmental body.
D. Prohibition Against Use of Roof and Structure of Building. Tenant shall be prohibited from using all or any portion of the roof of the Building or any portion of the structure of the Building during the Term of this Lease (or any extensions thereof) for any purposes (including without limitation for the installation, maintenance and repair of a satellite dish and/or other telecommunications equipment), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Nothing herein shall limit or restrict Landlords rights under Section ll.N, or require Landlord to obtain Tenants consent prior to exercising such rights.
7. GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS AND BUILDING RULES.
A. Compliance in Premises.
14
1. Landlords Responsibilities. As of the Commencement Date, the Premises shall be in compliance with all Governmental Requirements, including, but not limited to, any applicable ADA requirements; provided, however, that if Landlord fails to satisfy the foregoing obligation, as evidenced by written notice of violation from the applicable governmental agency with jurisdiction, Landlord shall, as Tenants sole remedy, perform such work in the Premises as may be necessary to cure the violation that existed as of the Commencement Date.
2. Tenants Responsibilities. Except as set forth in Section 7.A.1 above, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, (1) comply with all Governmental Requirements; with any occupancy certificate issued for the Premises; and with the provisions of all recorded documents affecting the Premises, insofar as any thereof relates to or affects the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises; and (2) take all proper and necessary action to cause the Premises, including any repairs, replacements, alterations and improvements thereto, to be maintained, constructed, used and occupied in compliance with applicable Governmental Requirements, including, but not limited to, any applicable ADA requirements, whether or not such requirements are based on Tenants use of the Premises, and further to assume all responsibility to ensure the Premises continued compliance with all Governmental Requirements, including, but not limited to, any applicable ADA requirements, throughout the Term; provided, however, that subject to reimbursement as an Operating Cost pursuant to Section 2 above, Tenant shall not be required to make or pay for capital alterations or improvements to the Premises in order to comply with Governmental Requirements, including, but not limited to, any applicable ADA requirements, unless such alterations or improvements are necessitated by Tenants particular use of the Premises or Tenants Work in the Premises.
B. Compliance in Common Areas. Subject to reimbursement as an Operating Cost as provided in Section 2 above, Landlord shall perform any work required under any applicable Governmental Requirements, including ADA, to be performed in the common areas of the Project, except that, as provided below, Tenant shall be solely responsible for all such compliance work which is required as a result of Tenants particular use or activities (e.g., Tenants proposed alterations or repairs). With respect to any compliance work required outside the Premises for which Tenant is responsible hereunder, Landlord shall have the right to perform such work, or require that Tenant perform such work with contractors, subcontractors, engineers and architects approved by Landlord; and if Landlord elects to perform such work outside the Premises, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such work within ten (10) days following receipt of invoices therefor. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord makes no representations or warranties regarding the Projects or the Premises compliance with applicable Governmental Requirements as of the date of this Lease.
C. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall also comply with all reasonable rules for the Project which may be established and amended from time to time by Landlord. The present rules and regulations are contained in Exhibit B. Failure by another tenant to comply with the rules or failure by Landlord to enforce them shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to comply with the rules or make Landlord responsible to Tenant in any way. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to apply the rules and regulations uniformly with respect to Tenant and any other tenants in the Project under leases containing rules and regulations similar to this Lease. In the event of alterations and repairs performed by Tenant, Tenant shall comply with the
15
provisions of Section 5 of this Lease and also any applicable Policies, Rules and Regulations for Construction Projects which may be established and in effect at the time.
8. WAIVER OF CLAIMS; INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE.
A. Waiver of Claims. Neither Landlord nor the other Indemnitees (as defined below) shall be liable to Tenant or to any Tenant Parties (as defined below), and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord and such other Indemnitees, for any injury to or death of any person or for loss of use of or damage to or destruction of property in or about the Premises or Project by or from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, earthquake or earth movement, gas, fire, oil, electricity or leakage from the roof, walls, basement or other portion of the Premises or Project, except only, with respect to any Indemnitee, to the extent such injury, death or damage is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee and not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder or except to the extent such limitation on liability is prohibited by law. The provisions of this Section 8.A shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until all claims within the scope of this Section 8.A are fully, finally, and absolutely barred by the applicable statutes of limitations.
B. Indemnification.
1. Tenants Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) and hold harmless Landlord and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an Indemnitee and collectively, the Indemnitees), and each of them, against any and all obligations, losses, claims, actions (including remedial or enforcement actions of any kind and administrative or judicial proceedings, suits, orders or judgments), causes of action, liabilities, penalties, damages (including consequential and punitive damages), costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys and consultants fees and expenses) (collectively, Claims) arising from any of the following (except only, with respect to any Indemnitee, to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee and are not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder, or to the extent the foregoing obligations are prohibited by applicable law): (i) the use of the Premises, (ii) any injury or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property occurring in, on or about the Premises, from any cause whatsoever, (iii) any other act or omission or negligence of Tenant, any assignee or subtenant, or any of their respective members, partners, employees, contractors, agents, customers, visitors, licensees or other persons in or about the Project by reason of Tenants occupancy of the Premises (each a Tenant Party and, collectively, Tenant Parties), or (iv) Tenants breach of its obligations under this Lease.
2. Tenants Duty to Defend. Tenants duty to defend Landlord and the other Indemnitees under this Section 8.B is separate and independent of Tenants duty to indemnify the Indemnitees. The duty to defend includes claims for which the Indemnitees may be liable without fault or strictly liable. The duty to defend applies regardless of whether the issues of negligence, liability, fault, default, or other obligation on the part of Tenant Parties have been determined. The duty to defend applies immediately, regardless of whether any Indemnitees have paid any sums or incurred any detriment arising out of or relating (directly or indirectly) to any Claims. It is the express intention of the parties that Indemnitees shall be
16
entitled to obtain summary adjudication or summary judgment regarding Tenants duty to defend the Indemnitees at any stage of any claim or suit within the scope of this Section.
3. Landlords Indemnity. Subject to the waivers of liability and subrogation set forth in Sections 8.A and 8.F., respectively, Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant, its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against all Claims due to or arising from the gross negligence or intentional acts of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors (Landlords Indemnity); provided, however, Landlords Indemnity shall be ineffective to the extent the matters for which Landlord agrees to indemnify Tenant are covered by the insurance Tenant is required to carry pursuant to this Lease. Following notice from Tenant, Landlord shall defend all Claims covered by Landlords Indemnity at Landlords expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
4. Survival of Obligations. The parties obligations under this Section 8.B shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until all Claims within the scope of this Section 8.B are fully, finally, and absolutely barred by the applicable statutes of limitations.
C. Tenants Insurance. Tenant shall maintain insurance as follows, with such other terms, coverages and insurers, as Landlord shall reasonably require from time to time:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance, with (a) Contractual Liability including the indemnification provisions contained in this Lease, (b) a severability of interest endorsement, (c) limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate for bodily injury, sickness or death, and property damage, and umbrella coverage of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).
2. Property Insurance against All Risks of physical loss covering the replacement cost of all improvements, fixtures and personal property and business interruption.

Tenants insurance shall be primary and not contributory to that carried by Landlord, its agents, or mortgagee. Landlord, and if any, Landlords building manager or agent, mortgagee and ground lessor shall be named as additional insureds under the insurance required of the Tenant in Section 8.C.1. The company or companies writing any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease, as well as the form of such insurance, shall at all times be subject to Landlords approval, and any such company shall be licensed to do business in the state in which the Building is located. Such insurance companies shall have a A.M. Best rating of A VI or better.
17
4. Tenant shall cause any contractor of Tenant performing work on the Premises to maintain insurance as follows, with such other terms, coverages and insurers, as Landlord shall reasonably require from time to time:
(a) Commercial General Liability Insurance, including contractors liability coverage, contractual liability coverage, completed operations coverage, broad form property damage endorsement, and contractors protective liability coverage, to afford protection with limits, for each occurrence, of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to personal injury, death or property damage.
(b) Workers compensation or similar insurance in form and amounts required by law, and Employers Liability with not less than the following limits:
Each Accident: | $ | 500,000 | ||
DiseasePolicy Limit: | $ | 500,000 | ||
DiseaseEach Employee: | $ | 500,000 |
Such insurance shall contain a waiver of subrogation provision in favor of Landlord and its agents. Tenants contractors insurance shall be primary and not contributory to that carried by Tenant, Landlord, their agents or mortgagees. Tenant and Landlord, and if any, Landlords building manager or agent, mortgagee or ground lessor shall be named as additional insured on Tenants contractors insurance policies.
D. Insurance Certificates. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates evidencing all required insurance no later than five (5) days prior to the Commencement Date and each renewal date. Each certificate will provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation to Landlord and Tenant.
E. Landlords Insurance. Subject to reimbursement as an Operating Cost in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 hereof, Landlord shall procure and maintain in effect throughout the Term of this Lease commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and/or such other types of insurance as Landlord reasonably deems necessary or advisable to carry. Such coverages shall be in such amounts, from such companies and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to change, cancel, decrease or increase any insurance coverages in respect of the Building, add additional forms of insurance as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary, and/or obtain umbrella or other policies covering both the Building and other assets owned by or associated with Landlord or its affiliates, in which event the cost thereof shall be equitably allocated.
F. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release any and all rights of recovery against the other party, including officers, employees, agents and authorized representatives (whether in contract or tort) of such other party, that arise or result from any and all loss of or damage to any property of the waiving party located within or constituting part of the Building, including the Premises, to the extent of amounts payable under a standard ISO Commercial Property insurance policy, or such additional property coverage as the waiving party may carry (with a commercially reasonable deductible) (whether or not the
18
party suffering the loss or damage actually carries any insurance, recovers under any insurance or self-insures the loss or damage). Each party shall have their property insurance policies issued in such form as to waive any right of subrogation as might otherwise exist. This mutual waiver is in addition to any other waiver or release contained in this Lease.
9. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY.
A. Termination. If a fire or other casualty causes substantial damage to the Building or the Premises, and sufficient insurance proceeds will be available to Landlord to cover the cost of any restoration to the Building and Premises, Landlord shall engage a registered architect to estimate, within one (1) month of the casualty, to both Landlord and Tenant the amount of time needed to restore the Building and the Premises to tenantability, using standard working methods without the payment of overtime and other premiums. If the time needed exceeds twelve (12) months from the beginning of the restoration, or two (2) months therefrom if the restoration would begin during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease, then in the case of the Premises, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease, and in the case of the Building, Landlord may terminate this Lease, by notice to the other party within ten (10) days after the notifying partys receipt of the architects estimate. If sufficient insurance proceeds will not be available to Landlord to cover the cost of any restoration to the Building or the Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. Any termination pursuant to this Section 9.A shall be effective thirty (30) days from the date of such termination notice and Rent shall be paid by Tenant to that date, with an abatement for any portion of the Premises which has been untenantable after the casualty.
B. Restoration. If a casualty causes damage to the Building or the Premises but this Lease is not terminated for any reason, then subject to the rights of any mortgagees or ground lessors, Landlord shall obtain the applicable insurance proceeds and diligently restore the Building and the Premises subject to current Governmental Requirements. Landlords obligation, should it elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild, shall be limited to the basic Premises, building-standard tenant improvements, or the basic Building, as the case may be, and Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, replace or fully repair its damaged improvements (including any tenant improvements in excess of the building standard), personal property and fixtures. Rent shall be abated on a per diem basis during the restoration for any portion of the Premises which is untenantable, except to the extent that the casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or assignees. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the Premises, damage to Tenants personal property and trade fixtures or any inconvenience occasioned by such damage, repair or restoration. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.
10. EMINENT DOMAIN. If a part of the Project is taken by eminent domain or deed in lieu thereof which is so substantial that the Premises cannot reasonably be used by Tenant for the operation of its business, then either party may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the taking. If any substantial portion of the Project is taken without affecting the Premises, then Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date of such taking. Rent shall abate from the date of the taking in proportion to any part of the Premises taken. The entire award for a taking of
19
any kind shall be paid to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no right to share in the award. All obligations accrued to the date of the taking shall be performed by the party liable to perform said obligation, as set forth herein.
11. RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD.
Landlord may exercise at any time any of the following rights respecting the operation of the Project without liability to Tenant of any kind:

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, Tenant shall be in default for purposes of Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure immediately following Tenants failure to perform or comply with any covenants, agreements, terms or conditions of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Tenant, including, without limitation, Tenants failure to pay Rent when due, and that any notices required to be given by Landlord under this Section 12 shall, in each case, be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement, if any, that notice be given pursuant to such section.
B. Landlord Defaults. Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not begun and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of
22
Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlords default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenants remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, Tenant will give notice and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord to any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering Landlords interest in the Property of which Tenant has been given notice.
13. LANDLORD REMEDIES. UPON A DEFAULT (AFTER ANY APPLICABLE NOTICE AND BEYOND ANY APPLICABLE CURE PERIOD), LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE FOLLOWING REMEDIES, IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED BY LAW OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, TO WHICH LANDLORD MAY RESORT CUMULATIVELY OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE:
A. Termination of Lease. Landlord may elect by notice to Tenant to terminate this Lease, in which event, Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and deliver possession to Landlord.
B. Civil Code Section 1951.4 Remedy. Even though Tenant has breached this Lease, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenants right to possession, and Landlord shall have all of its rights and remedies, including the right, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4, to recover all rent as it becomes due under this Lease, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlords interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenants right to possession unless written notice of termination is given by Landlord to Tenant.
C. Lease Termination Damages. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate on the date for termination set forth in such notice. Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and deliver possession to Landlord, and Landlord may repossess the Premises and may, at Tenants sole cost, remove any of Tenants signs and any of its other property, without relinquishing its right to receive Rent or any other right against Tenant. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant as damages:
1. The worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination; plus
2. The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
3. The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
23
4. Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform Tenants obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord: (i) in retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering or rehabilitating the Premises or any portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new tenant or tenants; (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus
5. At Landlords election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of California.
The worth at the time of award of the amounts referred to in Sections 13.C(1) and 13.C(2) is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate on the unpaid rent and other sums due and payable from the termination date through the date of award. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in Section 13.C(3) is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder.
D. Landlords Remedies Cumulative. All of Landlords remedies under this Lease shall be in addition to all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (pursuant to which Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenants breach and abandonment and recover as rent as it becomes due if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign the Lease, subject to reasonable limitations). Waiver by either party of any breach of any obligation by the other party shall be effective only if it is in writing, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach, or any subsequent breach of the same obligation. Landlords acceptance of payment by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant, and if the acceptance occurs after Landlords notice to Tenant, or termination of the Lease or of Tenants right to possession, the acceptance shall not affect such notice or termination. Acceptance of payment by Landlord after commencement of a legal proceeding or final judgment shall not affect such proceeding or judgment. Landlord may advance such monies and take such other actions for Tenants account as reasonably may be required to cure or mitigate any default by Tenant. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any such advance, and such sums shall bear interest at the Interest Rate until paid.
E. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE. EACH PARTY SHALL BRING ANY ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE IN A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE ANY PROCEEDING TRANSFERRED FROM SUCH COURTS ON THE GROUND OF IMPROPER VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
24
SECTION 13.E SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE.
F. Intentionally Deleted.
14. SURRENDER. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for any reason, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in its condition existing as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, normal wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted, with all interior walls repaired and repainted if marked or damaged, all carpets shampooed and cleaned, all broken, marred or nonconforming acoustical ceiling tiles replaced, and any damage by Tenant or any Tenant Party to the plumbing and electrical systems or lighting repaired (including replacement of any burned out or broken light bulbs or ballasts), all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall remove from the Premises and the Project all of Tenants trade fixtures, furniture, moveable equipment and other personal property, and any Work which Landlord elects to be removed pursuant to Section 5.D, and shall restore the Premises to its condition prior to their installation, including, without limitation, repairing all damage caused by the installation or removal of any of the foregoing items. If Tenant does not timely remove such property, then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have, at Landlords election: (a) conveyed such property to Landlord without compensation or (b) abandoned such property, and Landlord may dispose of or store any part thereof in any manner at Tenants sole cost, without waiving Landlords right to claim from Tenant all expenses arising out of Tenants failure to remove the property, and without liability to Tenant or any other person. Landlord shall have no duty to be a bailee of any such personal property. If Landlord elects to consider such property abandoned, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the costs of: (i) removal of any such Work or personal property, (ii) storage, transportation, and disposition of the same, and (iii) repair and restoration the Premises, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord. In addition, if the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all loss or liability, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs, resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises.
15. HOLDOVER. Tenant shall have no right to holdover possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without Landlords prior written consent which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If, however, Tenant retains possession of any part of the Premises after the Term, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance only, for the entire Premises upon all of the terms of this Lease as might be applicable to such tenancy, except that Tenant shall pay all of the Base Rent, and Operating Cost and Tax Share Rent at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the rate in effect immediately prior to such holdover, computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month Tenant remains in possession. Tenant shall also pay Landlord all of Landlords direct and consequential damages resulting from Tenants holdover. No acceptance of Rent or other payments by Landlord under these holdover provisions shall operate as a waiver of Landlords right to regain possession or any other of Landlords remedies.
25
16. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASES AND MORTGAGES.
A. Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any present or future ground lease or mortgage respecting the Project, and any amendments to such ground lease or mortgage, at the election of the ground lessor or mortgagee as the case may be, effected by notice to Tenant in the manner provided in this Lease. The subordination shall be effective upon such notice, but at the request of Landlord or ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of the request, execute and deliver to the requesting party any reasonable documents provided to evidence the subordination. Any mortgagee has the right, at its sole option, to subordinate its mortgage to the terms of this Lease, without notice to, nor the consent of, Tenant. At any time that the Project is made subject to any ground lease or mortgage, upon request from Tenant, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts, at Tenants sole cost, to cause the mortgagee or ground lessor to deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement utilizing the standard form of such mortgagee or ground lessor, providing that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease (after any applicable notice and beyond any applicable cure period), Tenant may remain in possession of the Premises under the terms of this Lease, even if the mortgagee, ground lessor, or its successor should acquire Landlords title to the Project.
B. Termination of Ground Lease or Foreclosure of Mortgage. If any ground lease is terminated or mortgage foreclosed or deed in lieu of foreclosure given and the ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall thereby become the owner of the Project, Tenant shall attorn to such ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser without any deduction or setoff by Tenant, and this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between Tenant and such ground lessor, mortgagee or purchaser. The ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser shall be liable as Landlord only during the time such ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Project. At the request of Landlord, ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver within ten (10) days of the request any document furnished by the requesting party to evidence Tenants agreement to attorn.
C. Security Deposit. Any ground lessor or mortgagee shall be responsible for the return of any security deposit by Tenant only to the extent the security deposit, if any, is received by such ground lessor or mortgagee.
D. Notice and Right to Cure. Tenant agrees to send by registered or certified mail to any ground lessor or mortgagee, identified in any notice from Landlord to Tenant, a copy of any notice of default sent by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the required time period under this Lease, but ground lessor or mortgagee begins to cure within ten (10) days after such period and proceeds diligently to complete such cure, then ground lessor or mortgagee shall have such additional time as is necessary to complete such cure, including any time necessary to obtain possession if possession is necessary to cure, and Tenant shall not begin to enforce its remedies so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
E. Definitions. As used in this Section 16, mortgage shall include trust deed and deed of trust; mortgagee shall include trustee, beneficiary and the mortgagee of any ground lessee; and ground lessor, mortgagee, and purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall include, in each case, all of its successors and assigns, however remote.
26
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE.
A. In General. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord in each case, (i) make or allow any assignment or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any part of Tenants interest in this Lease, (ii) sublet any part of the Premises, or (iii) permit anyone other than Tenant and its employees to occupy any part of the Premises (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a Transfer, and collectively as Transfers, and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a Transferee, and any person by whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a Transferor). Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of its obligations under this Lease, notwithstanding any Transfer. No consent granted by Landlord shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer. Tenant shall pay all of Landlords attorneys fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any consent requested by Tenant or in considering any proposed Transfer. Any Transfer without Landlords prior written consent shall be void. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet or otherwise Transfer the Premises in its entirety, any rights of Tenant to renew this Lease, to extend the Term or to lease additional space in the Project shall be extinguished thereby and will not be transferred to the Transferee, all such rights being personal to the Tenant named herein. In addition, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease, the term or estate hereby granted or any interest hereunder.
B. Landlords Consent. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Transfer if (i) Tenant is in default under this Lease (after any applicable notice and beyond any applicable cure period), (ii) the proposed Transferee is a tenant in the Project or an affiliate of such a tenant or a party that Landlord has identified as a prospective tenant in the Project, (iii) the financial responsibility, nature of business, and character of the proposed Transferee are not all reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iv) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord the purpose for which the Transferee intends to use the Premises (or a portion thereof) is not in keeping with Landlords standards for the Building or are in violation of the terms of this Lease or any other leases in the Project, (v) the proposed Transferee is a government entity, or (vi) the proposed Transfer is between a Transferee of Tenant and a third party.
C. Procedure. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any proposed Transfer at least thirty (30) days prior to its proposed effective date. The notice shall include the name and address of the proposed Transferee, its corporate affiliates in the case of a corporation and its partners in the case of a partnership, a description of the portion of the Premises that is subject to the Transfer (the Transfer Premises), a calculation of the Transfer Premium (as defined in Section 17.E below) payable in connection with the Transfer, an executed copy of the proposed Transfer agreement, and sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed Transferee (including, without limitation, the most recent financial statements for the proposed Transferee). As a condition to the effectiveness of any assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment, Landlords standard form of Consent to Assignment, providing for, among other things, an assumption of all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. As a condition to the effectiveness of any other Transfer, Transferee shall
27
execute and deliver to Landlord, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such Transfer, Landlords standard consent form, providing, among other things, (1) the Transferees obligation to indemnify Landlord and the other Indemnitees consistent with Tenants indemnification obligations in Section 8.B above, and (2) the Transferees agreement that any such Transfer shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any such Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (a) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Transfer Premises by any lawful means, or (b) require that the Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall default and fail to cure within the time permitted for cure under Section 12 above, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenants agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenants obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured.
D. Change of Management or Ownership. Any transfer of the direct or indirect power to affect the management or policies of Tenant or direct or indirect change in 50% or more of the ownership interest in Tenant shall constitute an assignment of this Lease.
E. Transfer Premium.
1. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Landlord shall be entitled to receive, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium derived from such Transfer. As used herein, the term Transfer Premium means (a) in the case of an assignment, any consideration (including, without limitation, payment for leasehold improvements) paid by the assignee on account of such assignment, and (b) in the case of any other Transfer, all rent, additional rent or other consideration paid by the Transferee to the Transferor pursuant to such Transfer in excess of the base rent and additional rent payable by such Transferor during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis. Payment of the Transfer Premium due Landlord hereunder shall be a joint and several obligation of Tenant and the Transferee, and shall be made to Landlord as follows: (i) in the case of an assignment, the Transferor shall pay the Transfer Premium to Landlord within ten (10) days after the Transferor receives the Transfer Premium; and (ii) in the case of any other Transfer, on the first day of each month during the term of the Transfer, the Transferee shall pay directly to Landlord the amount by which the rent, additional rent or other consideration due from the Transferee for such month exceeds the base rent and additional rent payable by the applicable Transferor for said month which is allocable to the Transfer Premises.
2. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable documentation of Tenants calculation of the Transfer Premium. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found to be understated, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlords costs of such audit.
F. Recapture. Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant (the Recapture Notice) within thirty (30) days after Landlords receipt of the proposed fully
28
executed Transfer agreement submitted by Tenant to Landlord for Landlord consent, terminate this Lease in its entirety in the case of a proposed assignment (or in the case of a proposed sublease or other Transfer Landlord may terminate this Lease with respect to the Transfer Premises), as of the termination date set forth in Landlords Recapture Notice and all obligations Landlord and Tenant under this Lease as to such terminated space shall expire as of such termination date, except as to any obligations that expressly survive any termination of this Lease.
G. Tenant Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under this Section 17 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Section 17, Tenants sole remedy shall be declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right provided under California Civil Code Section 1995.310 or other applicable laws to terminate this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all Claims involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenants broker or proposed transferee) who claim they were damaged by Landlords wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlords consent.
18. CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. If Landlord shall at any time transfer its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall be released of any obligations occurring after such transfer, except the obligation to return to Tenant any security deposit not delivered to its transferee, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlords successors for performance of such obligations. This Lease shall not be affected by any such transfer.
19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each party shall, within ten (10) days of receiving a request from the other party, execute, acknowledge in recordable form, and deliver to the other party or its designee a certificate stating, subject to a specific statement of any applicable exceptions, that the Lease as amended to date is in full force and effect, that the Tenant is paying Rent and other charges on a current basis, and that to the best of the knowledge of the certifying party, the other party has committed no uncured defaults and has no offsets or claims. The certifying party may also be required to state the date of commencement of payment of Rent, the Commencement Date, the Termination Date, the Base Rent, the current Operating Cost and Tax Share Rent estimates, the status of any improvements required to be completed by Landlord, the amount of any security deposit, and such other matters as may be reasonably requested. Tenants failure to execute or deliver an estoppel certificate in the required time period shall constitute an acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Tenants failure to execute or deliver an estoppel certificate or other document or instrument required under this Article 19 in a timely manner shall be a material breach of this Lease.
20. LEASE DEPOSIT.
A. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the date Tenant executes and delivers this Lease the cash sums set forth in the Schedule for both Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit (collectively, the Lease Deposit). The Prepaid Rent shall be applied by Landlord against the first full months Base Rent payment obligation hereunder. The Security Deposit in
29
the amount set forth on the Schedule shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of all of Tenants obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults under this Lease (after any notice and beyond any applicable cure period), Landlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or other sum in default, the repair of any damage to the Premises caused by Tenant or the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenants default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenants default to the full extent permitted by law. Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the use or application of the Security Deposit by Landlord as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1950.7. To the extent any portion of the Security Deposit is used, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand from Landlord restore the Security Deposit to its full amount, and the failure to do so shall constitute a default hereunder without an opportunity to cure. Landlord may keep the Security Deposit in its general funds and shall not be required to pay interest to Tenant on the deposit amount. If Tenant shall perform all of its obligations under this Lease and return the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, Landlord shall return all of the remaining Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term and after Tenant has vacated the Premises; provided, however, that if this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Article 13 above, or by Tenant in a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365, Landlord may retain the Security Deposit and apply the same against its damages recoverable pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2. The Security Deposit shall not serve as an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Landlords damages for any default under this Lease.
B. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to its transferee. Upon such transfer, Landlord shall have no further obligation to return the Security Deposit to Tenant, and Tenants right to the return of the Security Deposit shall apply solely against Landlords transferee.
21. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be in default under this Lease to the extent such party is unable to perform any of its obligations on account of any prevention, delay, stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels, energy or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, actions or inaction, civil commotion, fire or other acts of god, national emergency, or any other cause of any kind beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be (except financial inability) (collectively Force Majeure). Nothing contained in this Section 21 shall (a) relieve Tenant from the obligation to timely pay Rent under this Lease, (b) permit Tenant to holdover in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or (c) relieve Tenant from any obligation required to be performed by Tenant hereunder if Tenants failure to perform such obligation will interfere with any other tenant of the Projects use, occupancy or enjoyment of its respective premises or the Project.
22. TENANTS PERSONAL PROPERTY AND FIXTURES. In addition to any statutory lien, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a lien against and a security interest in all of its personal property and trade fixtures now or hereafter located within the Premises as additional security for performance of all of Tenants obligations under this Lease. Tenant may replace such personal property and fixtures with items of equal or better quality, but shall not otherwise remove them from the Premises without Landlords consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, until all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease have
30
been performed. This Lease constitutes a security agreement creating a security interest in such property in favor of Landlord, subject only to the liens of existing creditors, and Tenant authorizes Landlord to file a Form UCC-1 Financing Statement to perfect the security interest of Landlord in the secured property and proceeds thereof under the laws of the State of California. In addition, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as Landlord may reasonably request to effectuate the intent of this Section.

In addition, interest shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on any late payments of Rent from the date due until paid at the rate provided in Section 2.D(2).

27. UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME.

28. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
A. Prohibition Against Hazardous Substances. Except for de minimis quantities of general office supplies customarily used by office tenants in the ordinary course of their business, including, but not limited to, copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink and cleaning solvents (which supplies Tenant agrees to use and store in compliance with all applicable Governmental Requirements), Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances to be brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in or near the Project unless Landlord has consented to such storage or use in its sole discretion. Any handling, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal or use of any Hazardous Substances in or about the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees shall strictly comply with all applicable Governmental Requirements. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any Claims which result from or arise out of the use, storage, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of any Hazardous Substances on or about the Project by Tenant or any Tenant Parties.

In no event shall any officer, director, employee, agent, shareholder, partner, member or beneficiary of Landlord be personally liable for any of Landlords obligations hereunder.
30. EXPANSION OPTION.
35
A. Tenants Expansion Notice. Not later than the expiration of the nineteenth (19th) full calendar month of the Term, Tenant may notify Landlord in writing (Tenants Expansion Notice) of Tenants interest in expanding the Premises, such that, as of the expiration of the twenty-fifth (25th) full calendar month of the Term (Expansion Effective Date) Tenant shall lease hereunder not less than 9,000 nor more than 12,000 contiguous rentable square feet in the Project, and (ii) the Term shall be extended for an additional twenty-five (25) calendar months (i.e., thirty-six (36) months from the Expansion Effective Date, which 36-month period is herein referred to as the Extension Term) (together, the Expansion Option). Tenants failure to timely provide Landlord with Tenants Expansion Notice shall be conclusively deemed Tenants election not to exercise the Expansion Option, time being of the essence, and Tenant acknowledges that such failure shall result in the forfeiture of Tenants rights under this Section 30.
B. Landlords Expansion Response.
1. If Tenant timely delivers Tenants Expansion Notice to Landlord as provided above, then, by the end of the twenty-second (22nd) full calendar month of the Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant (Landlords Expansion Response) of whether any additional space will be available for lease to Tenant in the Project as of the Expansion Effective Date. Tenant acknowledges that the proposed expansion of the Premises may be accommodated, at Landlords sole discretion, either by Tenants relocating to other space in the Project (Relocation Space) or by Tenants leasing of additional space contiguous to the initial Premises (Expansion Space). For purposes of this Section 30, space available for lease shall mean space in the Project which becomes available for lease and which Landlord is free to lease to the general public, unencumbered by any renewal rights, expansion rights, rights of first offer or other similar rights in favor of other tenants in the Project.
2. If Landlord determines that additional space meeting the size parameters above will be available for lease to Tenant in the Project as of the Expansion Effective Date, Landlords Expansion Response will specify (a) whether Tenants leasing of additional space will be accommodated by relocation or expansion of the initial Premises, (b) the exact size and location of the Relocation Space or Expansion Space, as the case may be (the larger premises available for lease by Tenant, whether by relocation or expansion, shall herein be referred to as the New Premises), (c) the monthly Base Rent which Landlord will charge for the New Premises, which shall equal $2.07 per rentable square foot of the New Premises through the eleventh (ll th) month of the Extension Term, $2.13 per rentable square foot of the New Premises through the twenty-third (23rd) month of the Extension Term, and $2.19 per rentable square foot of the New Premises through the thirty-sixth (36th) month of the Extension Term, and (d) any other material conditions or provisions relating to the leasing of the New Premises which vary from the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, any increase in the Security Deposit. Except as otherwise specified in Landlords Expansion Response, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the New Premises. If Landlord elects to provide Tenant with either Relocation Space or Expansion Space, Landlord shall complete tenant improvements of a nature similar to, in Landlords reasonable judgment, the Tenant Improvements identified on the Approved Space Plan attached hereto as Exhibit C-l in the Relocation Space or Expansion Space, as applicable, on or before the Expansion Effective Date.
36
3. If Landlords Expansion Response indicates that additional space meeting the size parameters described in Section 30.A above will not be available for lease to Tenant in the Project as of the Expansion Effective Date, then, within ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords Expansion Response, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord of Tenants election (Tenants Election Notice) to either (a) continue to lease the initial Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease, or (b) if Tenant is not then in default of its obligations under this Lease, terminate this Lease, which termination shall be effective as of 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the twenty-fifth (25th) full calendar month of the Term, provided that concurrent with Tenants delivery of Tenants Election Notice, Tenant pays to Landlord a termination fee in the amount of Thirteen Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Six and 91/100 Dollars ($13,446.91) in readily available funds. Tenants failure to deliver Tenants Election Notice to Landlord within the specified ten (10) day period shall conclusively be deemed Tenants election to continue to lease the initial Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease.
4. If Landlords Expansion Response requires Tenants relocation, then (a) Landlord shall deliver possession of the Relocation Space to Tenant on or before the Expansion Effective Date, and upon delivery thereof, the Relocation Space shall become a portion of the Premises, and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable following Landlords delivery of the Relocation Space to Tenant (but in no event later than seven (7) days following such delivery), Tenant shall surrender and vacate the initial Premises in the condition required by Section 14 above, and upon such surrender, the Premises hereunder shall mean only the Relocation Space, and Tenants obligations with respect to the initial Premises (e.g., Tenants rent obligations) shall cease; or
5. If Landlords Expansion Response permits Tenant to add space contiguous to the initial Premises, then Landlord shall deliver possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant on or before the Expansion Effective Date, and upon delivery thereof, the Expansion Space shall become a portion of the Premises.
6. Promptly following Tenants election to lease the New Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease confirming the lease of the New Premises, specifying the Base Rent for the New Premises in accordance with the provisions of Landlords Expansion Notice, specifying the rentable square footage of the New Premises, and making other appropriate modifications to this Lease, including, without limitation, modifications to Tenants Proportionate Share.
C. Conditions of Exercise. Notwithstanding Tenants attempted exercise of the Expansion Option, at Landlords option, Tenants rights to exercise the Expansion Option shall be ineffective, and Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver to Tenant the Relocation Space or Expansion Space, as the case may be, if, either at the time of exercise or at the time for delivery of possession of the additional space to Tenant, (i) Tenant shall be in default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) Tenant has exercised the Right of First Offer, as set forth in Section 31 below, or (iii) Tenant has exercised the First Refusal Right, as set forth in Section 32 below.
37
D. Option Personal to Tenant. Tenants right to exercise the Expansion Option is personal to, and may be exercised only by, the original Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant shall assign this Lease, then immediately upon such assignment, Tenants right to exercise the Expansion Option shall simultaneously terminate and be of no further force or effect. No Transferee shall have any right to exercise the Expansion Option granted herein. Nothing contained in this Section 30 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Landlord to refrain from negotiating with existing or future tenants of the Project, to withhold space in the Project from the market, or to take any other action or omit to take any other action in order to make additional space available to Tenant as of the Expansion Effective Date.
31. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.

Tenant may exercise its right of first offer only with respect to all of the First Offer Space identified in any Offering Notice, and only if Tenant intends to occupy such First Offer Space in connection with its own reasonably foreseeable needs. For purposes of this Section 31, the First Offer Space shall be available for lease if Landlord is free to lease the First Offer Space to the general public, unencumbered by any renewal rights or other similar rights in favor of the existing tenant of the First Offer Space.
B. Terms and Conditions. If Tenant timely exercises its right to lease the First Offer Space, then except as specified in this Section 31 or in the Offering Notice (which shall govern to the extent of any conflict with this Lease), the First Offer Space shall become a portion of the Premises on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease for the remainder of the Term, provided that (1) the Base Rent for the First Offer Space shall be as set forth in the Offering Notice, (2) Tenants Proportionate Share shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of the First Offer Space, and (3) except as specified in the Offering Notice (which shall govern to the extent of any conflict with this Lease), the First Offer Space shall be delivered in its then existing as is condition, without obligation on the part of Landlord to make any repairs or construct any improvements to the First Offer Space in connection with Tenants contemplated use, or to demolish existing improvements therein, and Tenant shall be responsible for the construction and installation in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 above of any tenant improvements it desires to install within the First Offer Space, at Tenants sole cost and expense.

If not earlier terminated, the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Section 31 shall automatically terminate upon the Termination Date.

D. Rights Personal to Tenant. Tenants right to lease the First Offer Space pursuant to this Section 31 is personal to, and may be exercised only by, the original named Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets all or any portion of the Premises, then immediately upon such assignment or subletting, Tenants right to lease any First Offer Space pursuant to this Section 30 shall simultaneously terminate and be of no further force or effect. No assignee or subtenant shall have any right to lease the First Offer Space pursuant to this Section 31.
32. Right of First Refusal.
A. Grant of Right. At any time following the last day of the sixth (6th) full calendar month of the Term, if Landlord receives a bona fide offer from a third party to lease all or a portion of the adjacent space in the Building comprised of approximately 3,600 rentable square feet and commonly known as Suite 280, as outlined on Exhibit A attached hereto (the First Refusal Space), which offer is acceptable to Landlord, Landlord will submit to Tenant a notice which sets forth the material terms (e.g., term, rent, tenant improvement allowance) of such offer (the First Refusal Notice). On or before the second (2nd) day after Tenants receipt of the First Refusal Notice, Tenant will have the right (the First Refusal Right) to notify Landlord, which notice shall be unconditional and irrevocable, that Tenant elects to lease the First Refusal Space upon the identical terms and conditions set forth in the First Refusal Notice and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease.

If not earlier terminated, the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Section 32 shall automatically terminate upon the Termination Date. Nothing contained in this Section 32 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Landlord to refrain from negotiating with the existing tenant(s) of the First Refusal Space, to withhold the First Refusal Space from the market, or to take any other action or omit to take any other action in order to make the First Refusal Space available to Tenant.
D. Rights Personal to Tenant. Tenants First Refusal Right is personal to, and may be exercised only by, the original named Tenant under this Lease.

2. CHANGE ORDERS. If, prior to the Substantial Completion Date, Tenant shall request improvements or changes to the Premises in addition to, revision of or substitution for the Tenant Improvements identified on the Approved Space Plan, including, without limitation, any request for above-Building standard finishes or other detailed specifications (individually or collectively, Change Order Requests), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for its approval plans and specifications for such Change Order Requests. If Landlord does not approve of the plans for such Change Order Requests, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the revisions required.

Leasing Signage
Every CarrAmerica property should carry appropriate signage to identify it immediately as a CarrAmerica property. All signage should use only approved visual elements, so that the consistency of the visual message reinforces the presence of CarrAmericas properties in the marketplace.
Signage works the same way that advertising does without the additional cost of media. Because of this, it is probably the most inexpensive and valuable advertising available.

Upon Tenants execution and delivery of this Amendment to Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord Twenty-Four Thousand Eight Hundred and 39/100 Dollars ($24,800.39), which amount, together with the security deposit furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with the Existing Lease (i.e., $25,646.11), for a total of Fifty Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Six and 50/100 Dollars ($50,446.50), shall be retained by Landlord as the Security Deposit pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in Section 20 of the Initial Lease.
8. Use. Tenant shall use the New Premises only for general office use and shall not use or permit the New Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever. Landlord and Landlords agents have made no representations or promises with respect to the New Premises or this Amendment, except as expressly set forth herein, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the New Premises is suited for the use intended by Tenant. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that prior to executing this Amendment, Tenant made such investigations as it deemed appropriate with respect to the suitability of the New Premises for its intended use, and determined that the same is suitable for such intended use.
9. Surrender of Existing Premises.
9.1 Termination of Lease as to Existing Premises. With respect to the Existing Premises, the Lease shall terminate as of the date that is one (1) week after the New Premises Commencement Date (the Existing Premises Termination Date); provided, however, that Tenants
4
obligation to pay Base Rent for the Existing Premises for the period beginning on the New Premises Commencement Date until the Existing Premises Termination Date (the Overlap Period) shall be waived. Accordingly, as of the New Premises Commencement Date, all terms and provisions of the Lease shall be applicable to the New Premises, and all references in the Lease to the Premises shall be construed to refer to the New Premises.
9.2 Surrender of Existing Premises. Tenants right to occupy the Existing Premises shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. on the Existing Premises Termination Date, subject, however, to the provisions of this Section 9. On or prior to Existing Premises Termination Date, Tenant shall terminate, effective as of the Existing Premises Termination Date, all material contracts and agreements to which Tenant is a party which concerns the Existing Premises. Not later than November 22, 2004, Tenant shall conduct a walk-through inspection of the Existing Premises with Landlord, during which Landlord shall prepare a list of items, if any, to be completed by Tenant in order for the Existing Premises to be surrendered in accordance with Section 14 of the Initial Lease (the Punch List Items). On or prior to the New Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, surrender to Landlord possession of the Existing Premises in the manner required under said Section 14 (subject to Section 9.3 below), including the completion of all Punch List Items to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, and conduct a final inspection of the Existing Premises with Landlord (Final Inspection) to verify the satisfactory completion of the Punch List Items. If Tenant fails to surrender the Existing Premises and to complete the Punch List Items to Landlords reasonable satisfaction on or prior to the New Premises Commencement Date (subject to Section 9.3 below), then (a) Landlord may complete the Punch List Items on Tenants behalf and Tenant shall remit payment to Landlord for such completion, as Additional Rent under the Lease, within ten (10) days following Tenants receipt of Landlords invoice for the cost of such completion; and (b) such failure shall constitute a holding over in the Existing Premises without Landlords consent, in which event the provisions of Section 15 of the Initial Lease shall apply.
9.3 Removal of Personal Property. Notwithstanding any provision in this Amendment to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to remove Tenants personal property from the Existing Premises during the Overlap Period. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section shall be construed as allowing Tenant to conduct business operations in the Existing Premises at any time on or after the New Premises Commencement Date. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, during the Overlap Period, Landlord may enter the Existing Premises to decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare the same for reoccupancy (the Renovations), and that such Renovations may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Existing Premises. Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to Tenant or Tenants personal property arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of Tenants personal property or Landlords actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlords actions.
9.4 Tenants Representations. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord in surrendering the Existing Premises that all rights of Tenant thereto and any sublessees or other parties that may have been entitled to occupy all or any portion of the Existing Premises through or under Tenant are terminated as of the New Premises Commencement Date, and Tenant surrenders the Existing Premises to Landlord free of any rights of occupancy created or granted by Tenant. Tenant hereby represents and covenants that nothing has been or will be done or suffered whereby any alterations, decorations, installations, additions or improvements in and to the Existing Premises or any part thereof, have been or will be encumbered in any way whatsoever, and that Tenant owns and has good right to surrender the same.
5
10. Option to Extend.
10.1 Extension Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Tenant may at its option (Renewal Option) extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional three (3) year period (the Renewal Term). If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option hereunder, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect during the Renewal Term, including provisions regarding payment of Additional Rent, which shall remain payable on the terms herein set forth, except that (a) the Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Renewal Term shall be as determined in accordance with Sections 10.3 and 10.4 below, (b) Tenant shall continue to possess and occupy the Premises in their existing condition, as is as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, and Landlord shall have no obligation to repair, remodel, improve or alter the Premises, to perform any other construction or other work of improvement upon the Premises, or to provide Tenant with any construction or refurbishing allowance whatsoever, and (c) Tenant shall have no further rights to extend the Term of the Lease after the expiration of the Renewal Term.
10.2 Conditions of Exercise. To exercise the Renewal Option, Tenant must deliver an unconditional binding notice to Landlord via certified mail or hand delivery not sooner than three hundred sixty-five (365) days nor later than two hundred forty (240) days prior to the then expiration of the Term of the Lease. If Tenant fails to timely give its notice of exercise, Tenant will be deemed to have waived its Renewal Option.
10.3 Market Rate Calculation. The Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall be the Market Rate (as defined below) for the Premises, valued as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, determined in the manner hereinafter provided; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant for any year of the Renewal Term be less than the annual Base Rent payable during the last year of the preceding Term (without regard to any abatements of Rent on account of casually or otherwise) (Base Rent Floor). As used herein, the term Market Rate shall mean the annual amount of Base Rent that a willing tenant would pay, and that a willing landlord would accept, at arms length, for space comparable to the Premises within the Project or other comparable first class office projects in the city of San Mateo or Foster City (the Comparison Projects), based upon binding lease transactions for tenants in the Comparison Projects that, where possible, commence or are to commence within six (6) months prior to or within six (6) months after the commencement of the Renewal Term (Comparison Leases). Comparison Leases shall include renewal and new non-renewal tenancies, but shall exclude subleases and leases of space subject to another tenants expansion rights. Rental rates payable under Comparison Leases shall be adjusted to account for variations between the Lease and the Comparison Leases with respect to: (a) the length of the Renewal Term compared to the lease term of the Comparison Leases; (b) rental structure, including, without limitation, rental rates per rentable square foot (including type, gross or net, and if gross, adjusting for base year or expense stop), additional rental, escalation provisions, all other payments and escalations; (c) the size of the Premises compared to the size of the premises of the Comparison Leases; (d) location, floor levels and efficiencies of the floor(s) for which the determination is being made; (e) free rent, moving expenses and other cash payments, allowances or other monetary concessions affecting the rental rate; (f) the age and quality of construction of the Building (including compliance with applicable codes on the applicable floors); and (g) leasehold improvements and/or allowances, including the amounts thereof in renewal leases, and taking into account, in the case of renewal leases (including the Lease), the value of existing leasehold improvements to the renewal tenant.
10.4 Base Rent Determination. The Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall be determined as follows:
6
(a) If Tenant provides Landlord with its unconditional binding notice of exercise pursuant to Section 10.2 above, then, prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant either (i) a good faith written proposal of the Market Rate, or (ii) notice that Landlord has determined in good faith that the Market Rate is less than the Base Rent Floor and, therefore, that the Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be equal to the Base Rent Floor. Within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of Landlords proposal, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (1) that Tenant accepts Landlords proposal or (2) that Tenant elects to submit the determination of Market Rate to arbitration in accordance with Sections 10.4(c) through 10.4(d) below. If Tenant does not give Landlord a timely notice in response to Landlords proposal, Landlords proposal of Market Rate shall be binding upon Tenant.
(b) If Tenant timely elects to submit the determination of Market Rate to arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall first negotiate in good faith in an attempt to determine the Market Rate. If Landlord and Tenant are able to agree within thirty (30) days following the delivery of Tenants notice to Landlord electing arbitration (or if Tenant accepts Landlords initial proposal), then such agreement shall constitute a determination of Market Rate for purposes of this Section, and the parties shall immediately execute an amendment to the Lease stating the Base Rent for the Renewal Term. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Market Rate within such negotiating period, then within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such negotiating period, the parties shall meet and concurrently deliver to each other in envelopes their respective good faith estimates of the Market Rate (set forth on a net effective rentable square foot per annum basis). If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower, then the Market Rate shall be the average of the two. Otherwise, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with (c) and (d) below.
(c) Within seven (7) days after the exchange of estimates, the parties shall select as an arbitrator an independent real estate broker with at least five (5) years of experience in leasing commercial office space in the metropolitan area in which the Project is located (a Qualified Appraiser). If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Appraiser, then within a second period of seven (7) days, each shall select a Qualified Appraiser and within ten (10) days thereafter the two appointed Qualified Appraisers shall select an independent Qualified Appraiser and the independent Qualified Appraiser shall be the sole arbitrator. If one party shall fail to select a Qualified Appraiser within the second seven (7) day period, then the Qualified Appraiser chosen by the other party shall be the sole arbitrator.
(d) Within twenty-one (21) days after submission of the matter to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall determine the Market Rate by choosing whichever of the estimates submitted by Landlord and Tenant the arbitrator judges to be more accurate. The arbitrator shall notify Landlord and Tenant of its decision, which shall be final and binding. If the arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him, the arbitrator may retain one or more qualified persons to provide expert advice. The fees of the arbitrator and the expenses of the arbitration proceeding, including the fees of any expert witnesses retained by the arbitrator, shall be paid by the party whose estimate is not selected. Each party shall pay the fees of its respective counsel and the fees of any witness called by that party.
(e) Until the matter is resolved by agreement between the parties or a decision is rendered in any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, Tenants monthly payments of Base Rent shall be in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rent Floor or (ii) Landlords determination of the Market Rate. Within ten (10) business days following the resolution of such dispute by the parties or the decision of the arbitrator, as applicable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall pay to Tenant, the amount of any deficiency or excess, as the case may be, in the Base Rent theretofore paid.
7
10.5 Tenants right to exercise the Renewal Option is personal to, and may be exercised only by, the original named Tenant under the Lease, and only if the original named Tenant continues to occupy at the time of such exercise at least eighty percent (80%) of the Premises subject to the Lease at the time of exercise. If Tenant shall assign the Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises under a sublease which is effective at any time during the final twelve (12) months of the term preceding the Renewal Term, then immediately upon such assignment or subletting, Tenants right to exercise the Renewal Option shall simultaneously terminate and be of no further force or effect. No assignee or subtenant shall have any right to exercise the Renewal Option granted herein. In addition, if Tenant is in default under the Lease (after any applicable notice and cure period) at the time it exercises the Renewal Option or at any time thereafter until the commencement of the Renewal Term or if Tenant has been in default under the Lease (after any applicable notice and cure period) at any time prior to its exercise of the Renewal Option, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under the Lease, the right (but not the obligation) to terminate the Renewal Option and to unilaterally revoke Tenants exercise of the Renewal Option, in which case the Lease shall expire on the Termination Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and Tenant shall have no further rights under the Lease to renew or extend the Term.
11. Right of First Offer.
11.1 First Offer Space; Exercise. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, Tenant shall have a right of first offer to lease any space in the Building (a First Offer Space) in the event that a First Offer Space becomes available for lease to third parties at any time beginning on January 1, 2006. Prior to offering a First Offer Space to a third party, Landlord will give notice to Tenant (an Offering Notice) specifying Landlords good faith estimate of (a) the Base Rent which Landlord proposes to charge for the First Offer Space, (b) the approximate date upon which the First Offer Space is anticipated to be available for delivery, and (c) any other material conditions or provisions relating to the leasing of the First Offer Space which vary from the provisions of the Lease. If Tenant wishes to lease the First Offer Space on the terms specified by Landlord in the Offering Notice, Tenant shall so notify Landlord within seven (7) business days after receipt thereof, which notice shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Tenant may exercise its right of first offer only with respect to all of the First Offer Space identified in the Offering Notice, and only if Tenant intends to occupy such First Offer Space in connection with its own reasonably foreseeable needs. For purposes of this Section, space available for lease shall mean First Offer Space which becomes available for lease and which Landlord is free to lease to the general public, unencumbered by any renewal rights, expansion rights, rights of first offer or other similar rights in favor of other tenants in the Project.
11.2 Terms and Conditions. If Tenant timely exercises its right to lease a First Offer Space, then except as specified in this Section or in the Offering Notice (which shall govern to the extent of any conflict with the Lease), the First Offer Space shall become a portion of the Premises on all of the terms and conditions of the Lease for the remainder of the Term, provided that (a) the Base Rent for the First Offer Space shall be as set forth in the Offering Notice, (b) Tenants Proportionate Share shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of the First Offer Space, and (c) the First Offer Space shall be delivered in its then existing as is condition, without obligation on the part of Landlord to make any repairs or construct any improvements to the First Offer Space in connection with Tenants contemplated use, or to demolish existing improvements therein, and Tenant shall be responsible for the construction and installation in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of the Initial Lease of any tenant improvements it desires to install within the First Offer Space, at Tenants sole cost and expense. Except as may be specified in the Offering Notice, Tenant shall commence paying Base Rent and all Additional Rent with respect to the First Offer Space on the date of delivery of the First Offer Space to Tenant in the condition required hereunder. Landlord shall promptly prepare and Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease reflecting the addition of the First Offer Space. Tenants right of first offer under
8
this Section shall be a one-time right as to each First Offer Space. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord that it wishes to lease the First Offer Space identified in any Offering Notice, or if Tenant fails to execute and deliver said lease amendment to Landlord within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant, Landlord may thereafter offer to lease the First Offer Space to any person on any terms and conditions it may deem appropriate, including terms and conditions more favorable than the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice, and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect to such First Offer Space, either at such time or at any future time.
11.3 Conditions to Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if Tenant is in default under the Lease at the time an Offering Notice would otherwise be required to be sent under this Section, or any other time following Tenants exercise of its right to lease a First Offer Space and prior to the date upon which possession of the First Offer Space is to be delivered to Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies, the right to terminate Tenants rights under this Section 11, and in such event Landlord shall not be required to deliver any Offering Notice or to deliver possession of any First Offer Space to Tenant. If not earlier terminated, the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Section 11 shall automatically terminate upon the Termination Date. Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Landlord to refrain from negotiating with the existing tenant(s) of a First Offer Space, to withhold a First Offer Space from the market, or to take any other action or omit to take any other action in order to make a First Offer Space available to Tenant.
11.4 Rights Personal to Tenant. Tenants right to lease a First Offer Space pursuant to this Section is personal to, and may be exercised only by the original named Tenant under the Lease. If Tenant shall assign the Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, then immediately upon such assignment or subletting, Tenants right to lease a First Offer Space pursuant to this Section shall simultaneously terminate and be of no further force or effect. No assignee or subtenant shall have any right to lease a First Offer Space pursuant to this Section.
12. Notices. Section 23.B of the Initial Lease is hereby deleted and replaced by the following:

13. Tenants Certification. Tenant hereby certifies to Landlord that, as of the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Tenant to Landlord, there are no existing defenses against the enforcement of any of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease, and Landlord is not in default under the Lease by reason of its failure to perform any obligations thereunder, and there is no circumstance, event, condition or state of facts which, by the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, could entitle Tenant to any such defenses or constitute or result in such a default.
14. Real Estate Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has not had any dealings with any broker other than CB Richard Ellis, Inc. and Intero Real Estate, in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Amendment, and Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from any and all costs (including attorneys fees), expenses or liability for commissions or other compensation owed to any other broker or agent claiming to have had dealings with Tenant in connection with this Amendment.

15.2 To the extent the terms of the Existing Lease and this Amendment are inconsistent, the terms of this Amendment shall control.
15.3 The submission of this Amendment to Tenant for examination or execution does not create an option or constitute an offer to Tenant to amend the Existing Lease on the terms and conditions contained herein, and this Amendment shall not become effective as an Amendment to the Existing Lease unless and until it has been executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.
15.4 This Amendment contains the entire agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. It is understood that there are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting the Existing Lease as hereby amended, and this Amendment supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, representations, agreements and understandings, if any, between Landlord and Tenant and their respective agents with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none shall be used to interpret or construe the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that all prior communications from Landlord or its agents are not and were not, and shall not be construed to be, representations or warranties of Landlord or its agents as to the matters communicated, and have not and will not be relied upon by Tenant.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
This Tenant Improvement Agreement (Agreement) is an integral part of the Third Amendment to Lease dated October 11, 2004 (Amendment) relating to certain New Premises described therein, and except where clearly inconsistent or inapplicable, the provisions of the Amendment are incorporated into this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Amendment. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the initial alterations, additions and improvements (the Tenant Improvements), if any, to be installed in the New Premises:
1. INITIAL TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
(a) Tenant has retained an architect/space planner to prepare the space plan for the New Premises, which space plan has been approved by Landlord and Tenant (the Approved Space Plan). The Approved Space Plan is attached to the Amendment as Exhibit B-l.
(b) Following Landlords execution of the Amendment, Landlord shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Tenant final working drawings for the Tenant Improvements (the Final Plans). The Tenant Improvements shown on the Final Plans shall be substantially consistent with those identified on the Approved Space Plan. Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be performed substantially as shown on the Final Plans, excepting only minor variations (i.e., variations which are not inconsistent with the intent of the Final Plans) as Landlord may deem advisable and any Change Order Requests (as defined below) approved by Landlord, subject to and in accordance with Landlords standard specifications for the Project (Project Standard Specifications) including, but not limited to, the standard building materials which are then being used by Landlord for the Building. Landlord will provide Tenant with a copy of the Building Standard Specifications upon Tenants request. The work of constructing the Tenant Improvements is referred to as Landlords Work.
2. CHANGE ORDERS. If, prior to the Substantial Completion Date (as defined below), Tenant shall request improvements or changes to the New Premises in addition to, revision of or substitution for the Tenant Improvements identified on the Approved Space Plan, including, without limitation, any request for finishes above the standard for the Building or other detailed specifications (individually or collectively, Change Order Requests), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for its approval plans and specifications for such Change Order Requests. If Landlord does not approve of the plans for such Change Order Requests, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the revisions required. Tenant shall revise and redeliver the plans and specifications to Landlord within three (3) days of Landlords advice or Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned its request for such Change Order Requests. Tenant shall pay for all preparations and revisions of plans and specifications, and, subject to Section 3 below, the increase in the cost of construction resulting from all Change Order Requests.
3. TENANT IMPROVEMENT COSTS.
(a) Subject to Section 3(b) below, Landlord shall bear the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, except for the following, which shall be Tenants responsibility: (i) the increase in the cost of construction resulting from Change Order Requests, and (ii) any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with, or as a consequence of, any Tenant Delay (as defined in Section 4 below) (together, the Excess Costs).
(b) Landlord shall provide Tenant with an amount up to Twenty-Five Thousand
Exhibit B
Eight Hundred Seventy Dollars ($25,870.00) (i.e., One Dollar ($1.00) per rentable square foot) (the Tenant Improvement Allowance) toward the Excess Costs.
(c) If Landlord and Tenant agree on any Change Order Requests as provided in Section 2 above, Landlord shall apply the Tenant Improvement Allowance toward the increase in the cost of the Tenant Improvements resulting therefrom. If the increase in the cost of the Tenant Improvements resulting from Change Order Requests exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an invoice specifying the excess, and Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord within three (3) days thereafter. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such invoice shall be based solely on an estimate of the increase in the cost of the Tenant Improvements, and shall not be binding on Landlord or Landlords contractor, nor shall Tenants payment on account of such estimate limit Tenants obligation hereunder to pay the amount specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 3(a) above, or otherwise under this Agreement. Landlord shall have no obligation to commence or to continue Landlords Work unless Tenant pays the amount reflected in the invoice within said three (3) day period. If Tenant does not pay such amount within the three (3) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned its Change Order Request.
(d) Upon Landlords final determination of the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement showing the amount paid by Tenant under this Section and the total amount payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Agreement. If the amount paid by Tenant exceeds the amount payable by Tenant under this Agreement, Landlord, at its election, shall either refund the amount of the overpayment to Tenant or credit such excess against Tenants obligation to pay Rent. If the amount paid by Tenant is less than the amount payable by Tenant under this Agreement, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlords delivery of the statement to Tenant.
(e) If, upon completion of the Tenant Improvements, any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall not have been applied against Excess Costs, then the excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance over the Excess Costs shall be credited against Tenants obligation to pay Rent.
4. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. The Substantial Completion Date shall be the date that Landlord, and its architect, engineer or construction manager determines that Landlords Work has been completed, except for (a) finishing details, minor omissions, mechanical adjustments, and similar items of the type customarily found on an architectural punch-list, the correction or completion of which will not substantially interfere with Tenants occupancy and use of the New Premises; and (b) trade fixtures, workstations, telecommunications or computer cabling or built-in furniture or equipment to be installed by Tenant (Substantial Completion); provided, however, if Landlord is delayed in completing Landlords Work or in delivering possession of the New Premises to Tenant as a result of any Tenant Delay (as defined below), the Substantial Completion Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the Substantial Completion Date would have occurred in the absence of such Tenant Delay, as reasonably determined by Landlord or Landlords architect. As used in this Agreement, the term Tenant Delay means a delay in the completion of Landlords Work or the delivery of possession of the New Premises to Tenant, to the extent caused by the act, omission, neglect or failure of Tenant or any of Tenants agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors, including, without limitation, to the extent caused by Tenants failure to timely submit to Landlord space plans prepared by Tenants Architect, and Change Order Requests (including Tenants failure to pay the amount required under Section 3 above).

The parties anticipate that the Substantial Completion Date shall occur on or before July 1, 2005 (the Target Completion Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, this Amendment shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord or its agents have any liability to Tenant by reason of Landlords failure to deliver possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant by the Target Completion Date. As of the Substantial Completion Date, all terms and provisions of the Lease shall be applicable to the Expansion Space.
(b) Landlords Work shall be deemed substantially complete hereunder when (i) Landlord, its architect, engineer or construction manager determines that Landlords Work has been completed, except for finishing details, minor omissions, mechanical adjustments, and similar items of the type customarily found on an architectural punch-list, the correction or completion of which will not substantially interfere with Tenants occupancy and use of the Expansion Space (Punch List Items), and (ii) Tenant is legally permitted to occupy the Expansion Space (as evidenced by a temporary or final certificate of occupancy, or final inspection and sign-off on the job card for Landlords Work, or reasonable equivalent); provided, however, that (1) if Landlord is delayed in completing Landlords Work or in delivering possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant as a result of any act, omission, neglect or failure of Tenant or any of Tenants agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors (a Tenant Delay), the Substantial Completion Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the Substantial Completion Date would have occurred in the absence of such Tenant Delay, as reasonably determined by Landlord or Landlords architect; and (2) if Tenant commences business operations in the Expansion Space prior to the Substantial Completion Date, the Substantial Completion Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date Tenant commences business operations in the Expansion Space. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all Punch List Items to Tenants reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days of Landlords receipt of a written list of such Punch List Items (which Tenant shall furnish to Landlord within three (3) business days following the Substantial Completion Date).
2.4 Early Occupancy. During the period commencing approximately two weeks before the Substantial Completion Date (the Early Occupancy Period), Tenant, upon reasonable notice to Landlord, shall be permitted to enter the Expansion Space for the sole purpose of installing furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and cabling, provided that (a) Tenants
2
early entry does not interfere with Landlords Work, (b) prior to Tenants entry in the Expansion Space, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certificates of insurance satisfactory to Landlord evidencing Tenants compliance with the requirements of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Space, and (c) Tenants work during the Early Occupancy Period shall comply with the requirements of Section 5 of the Initial Lease.
