Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas”. The term “Project Common Areas”, as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord, and may include, without limitation, any fixtures, systems, signs, facilities, parking areas, gardens, parks or other landscaping contained, maintained or used in connection with the Project, and may include any city sidewalks adjacent to the Project, pedestrian walkway system, whether above or below grade, park or other facilities open to the general public and roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways and landscape areas appurtenant to the Project. The location of the Project Common Areas as of the date of this Lease is shown on Exhibit B attached hereto. The term “Building Common Areas”, as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such by Landlord, and may include, without limitation, the common entrances, lobbies, atrium areas, restrooms, elevators, stairways and accessways, loading docks, ramps, drives, platforms, passageways, serviceways, common pipes, conduits, wires, equipment, loading and unloading areas, parking facilities and trash areas servicing the Building. The Common Areas shall be maintained and operated in a first class manner.

 

1.4 Landlord’s Use and Operation of the Building, Project, and Common Areas. Provided Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s normal and customary business operations and to the extent the Tenant Improvements and Alterations are not damaged and Tenant is not denied the beneficial use of its Premises, Landlord reserves the right from time to time without notice to Tenant (i) to close temporarily any of the Common Areas; (ii) to make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of street entrances, driveways, ramps, entrances, exits, passages, stairways and other ingress and egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, loading and unloading areas, and walkways; (iii) to expand the Building; (iv) to add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas; (v) to designate land outside the Project to be part of the Project, and in connection with the improvement of such land to add additional buildings and common areas to the Project and/or to delete land and improvements from the Project; (vi) to use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Project or to any adjacent land, or any portion thereof; and (vii) to do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Project, Common Areas and Building or the expansion thereof as Landlord may deem to be appropriate; provided that Landlord’s actions under items (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) shall not result in an increase in Direct Expenses allocated to Tenant under this Lease.

 

1.5 Intentionally Omitted.

 

1.6 Right of First Offer. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first offer with respect to that certain space consisting of, collectively, any additional space contiguous to the initial Premises (including available space on floors contiguous to the floors on which the initial Premises is located) and any space on the fifteenth (15th), sixteenth (16th) and nineteenth (19th) floors of the Building which become vacant and actually available for lease during the initial Term and any extension thereof (collectively, the “First Offer Space”). If Tenant does not lease any increment of First Offer Space after being offered such space in accordance with the terms of

this Section 1.6, Tenant shall have no further right to lease such increment of First Offer Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such first offer right shall be subordinate and secondary to all rights of expansion, first refusal, first offer or similar rights granted to the tenants of the Building as of the date of this Lease (collectively, the “Superior Rights”), which Superior Rights are set forth on Exhibit G attached to this Lease. Tenant’s right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.6.

 

1.6.1 Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “First Offer Notice”) the first time after the date of this Lease that Landlord receives a proposal or request for proposal for all or any portion of the First Offer Space which Landlord would seriously consider. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space which is the subject of the First Offer Notice and shall set forth the size and location of such space, the economic terms and conditions which Landlord would accept for Tenant’s lease of such space (collectively, the “Economic Terms”), including, without limitation, the Base Rent, any contribution by Landlord to Direct Expenses, any concessions and any contribution by Landlord to the improvement of the First Offer Space. Such Economic Terms shall constitute Landlord’s good faith determination of the then prevailing fair market economic terms for such space.

 

1.6.2 Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within ten (10) business days after delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to exercise its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in the First Offer Notice. If concurrently with Tenant’s exercise of the first offer right, Tenant notifies Landlord that it does not accept the Economic Terms set forth in the First Offer Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall, for a period of fifteen (15) business days after Tenant’s exercise, negotiate in good faith to reach agreement as to such Economic Terms. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord that it does not accept the Economic Terms set forth in the First Offer Notice concurrently with Tenant’s exercise of the first offer right, the Economic Terms shall be as set forth in the First Offer Notice. In addition, if Tenant does not exercise its right of first offer within the ten (10) business day period, or, if Tenant exercises its first offer right but timely objects to Landlord’s determination of the Economic Terms and if Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on such Economic Terms within said fifteen (15) business day period, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires and Tenant’s right of first offer shall terminate as to the First Offer Space described in the First Office Notice; provided that, if Landlord desires to lease the same First Offer Space to any third party but increase or decrease the size of such First Offer Space by more than twenty-five percent (25%) or Landlord intends to accept an offer from a prospective tenant and the net effective rent that is at least ten percent (10%) less than the net effective rent offered to Tenant, Landlord shall be required to give Tenant another First Offer Notice with respect to such increased or decreased First Offer Space and Tenant’s rights in connection therewith shall renew under this Section 1.6, except that the ten (10) and fifteen (15) business day periods set forth above shall be reduced to five (5) and ten (10) business days, respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.

 

1.6.3 Lease of First Offer Space. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment that is acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in the exercise of their commercially reasonable judgment adding such First Offer Space to this Lease upon the same non-economic terms and conditions as applicable to the initial Premises, and the Economic Terms and conditions as provided in this Section 1.6. Tenant shall commence payment of Rent for the First Offer Space and the Lease Term of the First Offer Space shall commence upon the date (“First Offer Commencement Date”) which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of a reasonable build-out period determined as a component of the Economic Terms, and (ii) the date that Tenant, or any person occupying any of the First Offer Space with Tenant’s permission, commences business operations from the First Offer Space, subject to any appropriate modification with respect to such

commencement of Rent as determined as part of the Economic Terms. The Lease Term for the First Offer Space shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date, subject to extension as provided in Section 2.2 of this Lease, co-terminously with Tenant’s lease of the initial Premises.

 

1.6.4 Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights set forth in this Section 1.6, and Landlord’s obligations with respect thereto, shall be exercisable only by the originally-named Tenant (“Original Tenant”) and any Affiliated Assignee (as defined in Section 11.7) and any Permitted Assignee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease, provided that the assignee of the subject assignment assumes Tenant’s obligations to lease the entire Premises then being leased by Tenant. Tenant’s right of first offer hereunder shall not be effective in any period during which more than forty percent (40%) of the rentable area of the Premises is subject to a sublease, other than to an Affiliated Assignee. Tenant shall not have the right to lease the First Offer Space if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right of first offer by Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Offer Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease after notice and lapse of any applicable cure periods.

 

1.7 Right to Expand. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant herein the right during the initial Term and any extensions thereof, and if exercised in accordance with this Lease, to lease any space contiguous to the initial Premises, including any space one floor immediately above or one floor immediately below the initial Premises, that is vacant and actually available for lease (the “Expansion Space”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such right to expand shall be subordinate and secondary to all Superior Rights. The expansion option contained in this Section 1.7 may be exercised only in accordance with the procedures described herein.

 

1.7.1 Method of Exercise. Tenant shall from time to time, but in no event more than two (2) times in any calendar year, deliver written notice to Landlord, stating that Tenant is interested in exercising its option hereunder and specifying the size and location of the space desired (the “Expansion Notice”). Within fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the Expansion Notice to Landlord, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a list of any Expansion Space that is then vacant and available for lease, and any space that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, will be vacant and available for lease within six (6) months after Landlord’s receipt of the Expansion Notice, along with a proposed letter of intent which shall contain Landlord’s estimate of the Expansion Rent (as hereinafter defined) for the applicable Expansion Space and such other material terms as Landlord deems appropriate (collectively, an “Expansion Notice Response”), provided that such letter of intent shall be non-binding and shall not create any liability for or obligation of either party. The Base Rent to be paid by Tenant for any Expansion Space shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of then prevailing fair market rent for such Expansion Space as of the date of the proposed commencement date of the term of the lease for such Expansion Space (“Expansion Rent”). The prevailing fair market rent shall be based on the same criteria for determining fair market rent as a basis for Option Rent as specified in Section 2.2.1 below. Landlord shall determine the Expansion Rent by using its good faith judgment. Tenant shall have five (5) business days (“Tenant’s Expansion Rent Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s Expansion Notice Response within which to accept such rental rate or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Tenant’s failure to object by written notice to Landlord within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s disapproval of the Expansion Rent specified by Landlord in the letter of intent. In the event Tenant timely objects in writing, or is deemed to have objected by failing to object in writing within said five (5) business day period, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such Expansion Rent using their diligent good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within twenty (20) days following Tenant’s Expansion Rent Review Period (“Outside Expansion Agreement Date”), then the Expansion Rent shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Sections 1.7.1.1 through 1.7.1.7 below.

 

1.7.1.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or appraiser who shall have been active over the ten (10) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of commercial high-rise properties in the Woodland Hills, California area. The

determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Expansion Rent is the closest to the actual Expansion Rent, as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this Section 1.7 (i.e., the arbitrators may only select Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination and shall not be entitled to make a compromise determination). Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) business days after the applicable Outside Expansion Agreement Date.

 

1.7.1.2 The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within five (5) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.

 

1.7.1.3 The three (3) arbitrators shall within five (5) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Expansion Rent and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.

 

1.7.1.4 The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

1.7.1.5 If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days after the applicable Outside Expansion Agreement Date, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

1.7.1.6 If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed, then the determination of Expansion Rent shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the instruction set forth in this Section 1.7.1.

 

1.7.1.7 The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

 

1.7.2 Expansion Space Accepted “As-Is”. Tenant shall take the Expansion Space in its “as is” condition, subject to any latent defects.

 

1.7.3 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the Expansion Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall within fifteen (15) business days after determination of the Expansion Rent execute an amendment adding such Expansion Space to the Lease and incorporating all of the other terms of Landlord’s letter of intent delivered as part of Landlord’s Expansion Notice Response. The term for any space leased by Tenant pursuant to the exercise of this right shall be coterminous with the initial Lease term or any extension term, as applicable.

 

1.7.4 Termination of Expansion Right. The rights set forth in this Section 1.7, and Landlord’s obligations with respect thereto, shall be exercisable only by the Original Tenant, any Affiliated Assignee (as defined in Section 11.7) and any Permitted Assignee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease, provided that the assignee of the subject assignment assumes Tenant’s obligations to lease the entire Premises then being leased by Tenant. Tenant’s expansion hereunder shall not be effective in any period during which more than forty percent (40%) of the rentable area of the Premises is subject to a sublease, other than to an Affiliated Assignee. Tenant shall not have the right to lease any Expansion Space if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right of first offer by Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such Expansion Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease after notice and lapse of any applicable cure periods.

1.8 Right to Contract. Tenant may elect to reduce the Rentable Area of the Premises by up to two (2) full floors, as such floors are identified herein (collectively, the “Returned Space”) by complying with all of the provisions of this Section 1.8.

 

1.8.1 Twenty-Second Floor Returned Space. Tenant may, as of the end of the seventy-second (72nd) full calendar month of the initial Term (the “First Reduction Date”), return possession to Landlord of up to the entire twenty-second (22nd) floor (“Twenty-Second Floor Returned Space”), by giving Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior written notice (the “First Reduction Notice”). With respect to any portion of the Twenty-Second Floor Returned Space not surrendered by Tenant as of the First Reduction Date (“Unused Increment”), such Unused Increment may be added to the Twenty-First Floor Returned Space (as hereinafter defined) upon delivery of not less than twelve (12) months prior written notice to Landlord.

 

1.8.2 Twenty-First Floor Returned Space. Tenant may, as of the end of the ninety-sixth (96th) full calendar month of the initial Term (the “Second Reduction Date”), return possession to Landlord of up to the entire twenty-first (21st) floor and any Unused Increment (collectively, the “Twenty-First Floor Returned Space”), by giving Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior written notice (the “Second Reduction Notice”).

 

1.8.3 Contingencies to Contraction. Tenant’s right to exercise its right to reduce its rentable area hereunder is subject to, in each case, the following conditions (a) the First Reduction Notice and the Second Reduction Notice, as applicable, shall be duly and timely received by Landlord; (b) as of the date Landlord receives the First Reduction Notice and/or Second Reduction Notice, as applicable, Tenant is in not default under this Lease after notice and lapse of any applicable cure periods; (c) prior to the First Reduction Date and/or Second Reduction Date, as applicable, Tenant shall execute an amendment that is acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in the exercise of their commercially reasonable judgment (“Contraction Amendment”), documenting the surrender of the subject Returned Space (and the commensurate reduction in Tenant’s Share and Tenant’s Common Area Share) and providing for Tenant’s agreement to surrender the space in broom clean condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and, at Landlord’s election, for Tenant’s removal of any Extraordinary Improvements (as such term is defined in the Second Amendment) in the subject Returned Space at Tenant’s sole cost, if, at the time such improvements or alterations were installed, Landlord provided Tenant with written notice that the same shall be removed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost; and (d) Tenant shall comply with all the requirements contained in this Section 1.8 (including, without limitation, the payment of funds as specified in Section 1.8.4 below). Provided that the conditions set forth above are performed, then as of the First Reduction Date or Second Reduction Date, as applicable, Tenant shall be released from liability for any of its obligations hereunder with respect to the subject Returned Space only.

 

1.8.4 Tenant’s Compensation to Landlord for Contraction. In the case of any Returned Space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a contraction fee equal to the sum of (a) the prorated portion of the then-unamortized leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowance for the applicable Returned Space (including leasing commissions, and tenant improvement funds expended by Landlord) to be amortized based on an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, (b) the sum of three (3) months’ Base Rent calculated using the rentable area of the subject Returned Space (at the rate then being paid by Tenant for such space) and (c) with respect to any Reduced Space that is on a floor on which there is no multi-tenant corridor, Landlord’s commercially reasonable estimate of the cost of installing such a corridor using Landlord’s then established standard design and materials (collectively, the “Contraction Fee”). The Contraction Fee shall be due on or before the effective date of the subject contraction. Assuming that (i) Tenant elects to retain the fifteenth (15th) floor portion of the Premises pursuant to Section 1.9 of this Lease and (ii) Tenant surrenders the entire twenty-second (22nd) floor on the First Reduction Date and the entire twenty-first (21st) floor on the Second Reduction Date (i.e., that there is no Unused Increment on the Second Reduction Date), then the Contraction Fee with respect to the Twenty-Second Floor Returned Space shall be $880,943.49 and the Contraction Fee with respect to the Twenty-First Floor Returned Space shall be $556,743.25, plus, in each case, with respect to any Reduced Space that is on a floor on which there is no multi-tenant corridor, Landlord’s commercially reasonable estimate of the cost of installing such a corridor using Landlord’s then established standard design and materials. As soon as is reasonably possible after Landlord’s receipt of the First Reduction Notice or Second

Reduction Notice, as applicable, Landlord shall send to Tenant a final statement itemizing the amount of the Contraction Fee owed by Tenant.

 

1.8.5 Termination/Expiration of Contraction Right. If Tenant fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 1.8 or fails to pay the required amount of the Contraction Fee within the specified time period, such failure shall constitute a material default of this provision and shall serve to nullify the terms and conditions of this provision, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the Term for the entire Premises. The rights set forth in this Section 1.8, and Landlord’s obligations with respect thereto, shall be exercisable only by the Original Tenant and any Affiliated Assignee (as defined in Section 11.7) and any Permitted Assignee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease, provided that the assignee of the subject assignment assumes Tenant’s obligations to lease the entire Premises then being leased by Tenant. Tenant shall not have the right to contract any space if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right by Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, as of the scheduled effective date of such contraction, Tenant is in default under this Lease after notice and lapse of any applicable cure periods. In the event that Tenant has not delivered the Second Reduction Notice on or before the Second Reduction Date, then on the first calendar day after the Second Reduction Date, the provisions of this Section 1.8 shall be deemed null, void and of no further force or effect as to the Twenty-First Floor Returned Space.

 

1.9 Tenant’s Election Regarding the Fifteenth Floor. Provided Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord or before February 1, 2004, Tenant may elect to surrender the portion of its Premises on the fifteenth (15th) floor (as specified in Section 4.2 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information) without penalty or the payment of any costs, provided that Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Section 19.15 of this Lease. In the event Tenant elects to surrender such portion of the Premises, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises in accordance with Section 19.15 on or before January 1, 2005, before which date Tenant shall perform all of its obligations with respect to such space as provided in the Original Lease, as amended prior to the date hereof.

2.2 Option Terms. Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of eight (8) years (“Option Term”), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Section 2.2.2 below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice and, at Landlord’s option, as of the last day of the initial Lease Term, Tenant is not in default under this Lease after notice and expiration of applicable cure periods. The right contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and any Affiliated Assignee or any Permitted Assignee (as such term is defined in Section 11.2), and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or any Affiliated Assignee or any Permitted Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) provided that the assignee of the subject assignment assumes Tenant’s obligations to lease the entire Premises then being leased by Tenant. Exercise of the right under this Section 2.2 shall not be effective if, as of the date of the Option Notice, more than forty percent (40%) of the rentable area of the Premises is subject to a sublease other than to an Affiliated Assignee.

 

2.2.1 Option Rent. The Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the then prevailing fair market rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the Option Term. The then prevailing fair market rent shall be the rental rate, including all escalations, at which new, willing, comparable, non-equity, non-renewal, non-expansion, creditworthy tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term, are entering into leases for non-sublease, non-encumbered space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a term of approximately the Option Term, which comparable space is located in comparable buildings (“Comparable Transactions”) in Warner Center. In any determination of Comparable Transactions, appropriate consideration should be given to annual rental rates per rentable square foot, the standard of measurement by which the rentable square footage is measured, the ratio of rentable square feet to useable square feet, the type of escalation clause (e.g., whether increases in additional rent are determined on a net or gross basis, and if gross, whether such increases are determined according to a base year or a base dollar amount expense stop), abatement provisions reflecting free rent, length of the lease term, size and location of premises being leased, building standard work letter and/or tenant improvement allowances, if any, taking into account the value of the existing improvements in the Premises as compared to the value of the then existing improvements for the Comparable Transactions, whether or not Landlord is obligated to pay a brokerage commission in connection with Tenant’s extension and other generally applicable conditions of tenancy for such Comparable Transactions. The intent is that Tenant will obtain the same rent and other economic benefits that Landlord would otherwise give in Comparable Transactions.

 

2.2.2 Exercise of Options. If Tenant wishes to exercise a renewal option hereunder, Tenant shall, on or before the date occurring fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term for the Premises, exercise the option by delivering notice to Landlord of such exercise by Tenant (the “Option Notice”). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that if Tenant delivers the Option Notice, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term for all space then leased by Tenant in the Building and any First Offer Space then leased by Tenant and that the procedure for determination of the Option Rent as provided in this Section 2.2 below shall apply in order to determine the Option Rent for the entire Premises. Failure of Tenant to deliver the Option Notice to Landlord on or before such date shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s failure to exercise its option to extend. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its option to extend, the initial Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that the Rent shall be the Option Rent determined as follows. Tenant shall be entitled to request that Landlord notify Tenant of Landlord’s estimate of the Option Rent prior to Tenant’s delivery of the Option Notice. Within thirty (30) days after such request by Tenant (but not earlier than eighteen (18). months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term or first Option Term, as applicable), Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s estimate of the Option Rent for the applicable Option Term (the “Information Estimate”); provided that neither Tenant’s request for the Information Estimate nor Landlord’s notice thereof shall create any liability for or obligation of either party. Landlord shall determine the Option Rent for the Option Term by using its good faith judgment. Whether or not Landlord has previously delivered the Information Estimate, Landlord shall provide written notice (“Option Rent Notice”) of Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent within thirty (30) days after Tenant provides the Option Notice to Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide the Option Rent Notice prior to the date which is eighteen (18) months before the commencement of the Option Term. Tenant shall have twenty (20) business days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s Option Rent Notice within which to accept such rental or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Tenant’s failure to object by written notice to Landlord within said twenty (20) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s disapproval of the Option Rent specified by Landlord in the Option Rent Notice. In the event Tenant timely objects in writing or is deemed to have objected by failing to object in writing within said five (5) business day period, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such Option Rent using their diligent good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s Review Period (“Outside Agreement Date”), then the Option Rent shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.2.3.1 through 2.2.3.7 below.

2.2.3 Determination of Option Rent. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on the Option Rent by the Outside Agreement Date, then each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent within five (5) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, concurrently exchange such determinations and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.2.3.1 through 2.2.3.7 below.

 

2.2.3.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or appraiser who shall have been active over the ten (10) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of commercial high-rise properties in the Woodland Hills, California area. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent, as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.1 of this Lease (i.e., the arbitrators may only select Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination and shall not be entitled to make a compromise determination). Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) business days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.

If the Building is not one hundred percent (100%) occupied (calculated as if all tenants were paying full rent and irrespective of any free-rent, partial-rent or other abatement that might be in effect at that time, it being the intention of Landlord and Tenant that the management fee, gross receipts tax, and any other expense that varies with the amount of rent collected, shall

Landlord (x) shall not collect or be entitled to collect from Tenant an amount in excess of Tenant’s Share of one hundred percent (100%) of the Operating Expenses; and (y) shall reduce the amount of the Operating Expenses by any refund or discount received by Landlord. If, in any Expense Year following the Base Year (a “Subsequent Year”), a new expense item is included in Operating Expenses which was not included in the Base Year Operating Expenses, then the cost of such new item shall be added to the Base Year Operating Expenses for purposes of determining the Operating Expenses payable hereunder for such Subsequent Year. During each Subsequent Year, the same amount shall continue to be included in the computation of Operating Expenses for the Base Year, resulting in each such Subsequent Year Operating Expenses only including the increase in the cost of such new item over the Base Year, as so adjusted.

second year (2nd) year of the Partial Protection Period; and (C) thereafter Tenant shall be obligated to pay in full the portion of the Tax Increase relating to a Reassessment allocable to any year after the second year (2nd) year of the Partial Protection Period.

 

(iv) The amount of any Tax Increase which Tenant is not obligated to pay, if any, in connection with a particular Reassessment pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.3.9.1.1 shall be referred to hereinafter as a “Proposition 13 Protection Amount”. If, in connection with a pending or anticipated sale of the Building by Landlord, the occurrence of a Reassessment is reasonably foreseeable by Landlord and the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to such Reassessment can be reasonably quantified or estimated for each year of the Lease Term commencing with the year in which the Reassessment will occur, the terms of this Section 3.3.9.1.1(iv) shall apply to each such Reassessment. Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to purchase the Proposition 13 Protection Amount relating to the applicable Reassessment (the “Applicable Reassessment”), within a reasonable period of time (but no earlier than 45 days) prior to the pending or anticipated sale of the Building by Landlord, by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the “Proposition 13 Purchase Price”, as that term is defined below, provided that the right of any successor of Landlord to exercise its right of repurchase hereunder shall not apply to any Reassessment which results from the sale of the Building pursuant to which such successor of Landlord became the Landlord under the Lease, as hereby amended. Landlord’s right to purchase the Proposition 13 Protection Amount shall expire and terminate upon the sale of the Building by Landlord if prior thereto Landlord did not exercise the right of purchase, or upon Landlord’s failure to pay the Proposition 13 Purchase Price to Tenant on or before the closing of such sale. As used herein, “Proposition 13 Purchase Price” shall mean the present value of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount remaining during the Term, as of the date of payment of the Proposition 13 Purchase Price by Landlord. Such present value shall be calculated (i) by using the portion of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to each remaining year of the Term of the Lease (as though the portion of such Proposition 13 Protection Amount benefited Tenant at the end of each such year), as the amounts to be discounted, and (ii) by using discount rates for each amount to be discounted equal to the average rates of yield for United States Treasury Obligations with maturity dates as close as reasonably possible to the end of each year of the Term of the Lease during which the portions of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount would have benefited Tenant, which rates shall be those in effect as of Landlord’s exercise of its right hereunder. Upon such payment of the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, the provisions of Section 3.3.9.1.1 (ii) and (iii) above, of shall not apply to any Tax Increase attributable to the Applicable Reassessment. Since Landlord, if Landlord exercises its repurchase right hereunder, will be estimating the Proposition 13 Purchase Price because a Reassessment has not yet occurred, then when such Reassessment occurs, if Landlord has underestimated the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Tenant’s Rent next due shall be credited with the amount of such underestimation, and if Landlord overestimates the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon notice by Landlord (to be given promptly following Landlord’s receipt of notice of Reassessment) to Tenant, Rent next due shall be increased by the amount of the overestimation.

 

(iv) If in anticipation of the sale of the Building Landlord has paid Tenant the Proposition 13 Purchase Price but Tenant is notified in writing by Landlord that the sale was not or will not be completed, Tenant shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to return the Proposition 13

3.3.9.2 With respect to any assessment that may be levied against, upon, or in connection with the Project, or any portion thereof, and may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds, or may be paid in annual installments, there shall be included within the definition of Tax Expenses with respect to any tax fiscal year only the amount currently payable on such bonds, including interest, for such tax fiscal year, or the current annual installment for such tax fiscal year.

 

3.3.9.3 If the method of taxation of real estate prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been, altered so as to cause the whole or any part of the taxes now, hereafter or heretofore levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed or imposed upon the owner or owners of the Project, wholly or partially, as a capital levy or otherwise, or on or measured by the rents received therefrom, then such new or altered taxes attributable to the Project, or any portion thereof, shall be included within the term “Tax Expenses” except that the same shall not include any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income.

 

3.3.9.4 In no event shall Tax Expenses for any Expense Year be less than Tax Expenses for the Base Year.

 

3.3.9.5 If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay within ten (10) business days (or thirty (30) days if the amount due from Tenant is in excess of $50,000) of receipt of notice, Tenant’s Share of any such increased Tax Expenses included by Landlord as Building Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

 

3.3.9.6 Any expenses incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year such expenses are paid. Tax refunds shall be credited against Tax Expenses regardless of when received, based on the year to which the refund is applicable. If Landlord receives a Proposition 8 reduction in Tax Expenses attributable to any period of time during which this Lease is in effect, then regardless of whether this Lease has terminated, and regardless of when Landlord receives such deduction (by direct payment or credit), to the extent Tenant is entitled to a refund of Direct Expenses previously paid by Tenant for such period (based upon a recalculation of Direct Expenses for such time period reflecting such reduced Tax Expense amount), Landlord shall remit the amount of such deduction attributable to the appropriate square footage in the Premises to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of such refund by Landlord or if this Lease is still in effect, credit such amount against the next Rent falling due under this Lease after Landlord’s receipt of such refund. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Proposition 8 refund (or any other credit or refund under a similar or replacement law) whenever Landlord makes a good faith determination that such a refund or credit is appropriately due to Landlord.

 

3.3.9.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.3.9 (except as set forth in Sections 3.3.9.1 and 3.3.9.3, above), there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Article 9 of this Lease.

 

3.3.10 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage calculated by dividing the number of usable square feet of the Premises by the total number of usable square feet in the Building. In the event either the usable square feet of the Premises and/or the total usable square feet of the Building is changed pursuant to Section 1.6, Section 1.7 and/or Section 1.8, Tenant’s Share shall be appropriately adjusted, and, as to the Expense Year in which such change occurs,

Tenant’s Share for such Expense Year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant’s Share was in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to the Premises described in Section 4 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information, Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant’s Building Share shall be the percentage set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information. In the event either the usable square feet of the Premises and/or the total usable square feet of the Building is changed pursuant to Section 1.6, Section 1.7 and/or Section 1.8, Tenant’s Building Share shall be separately calculated and administered by dividing the number of usable square feet of the Premises by the total number of usable square feet in the Building, provided that Tenant’s Building Share shall not change except in the case of a physical change to the Building or an expansion and/or contraction of the Premises pursuant to Section 1.6, Section 1.7 and/or Section 1.8.

 

3.3.11 Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, have the right to segregate Direct Expenses into two (2) separate categories, one (1) such category to be applicable only to Direct Expenses incurred for the Building and the other category applicable to Direct Expenses incurred for the Project Common Areas. If Landlord so segregates Direct Expenses into two (2) categories, two (2) Tenant’s Shares shall apply, one (1) such Tenant’s Share shall be calculated by dividing the number of usable square feet of the Premises by the total number of usable square feet in the Building (“Tenant’s Building Share”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3.10 above, and the other Tenant’s Share to be calculated by dividing the number of usable square feet of the Premises by the total number of usable square feet (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.2) of all buildings in the Project (“Tenant’s Common Area Share”). Consequently, if Landlord elects to so segregate Direct Expenses into two (2) categories, any reference in this Lease to “Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses” shall mean and refer to both Tenant’s Building Share of Direct Expenses and Tenant’s Common Area Share of Direct Expenses. No Operating Expenses or Taxes may be charged in a duplicative manner or as both Tenant’s Building Share of Direct Expenses and Tenant’s Common Area Share of Direct Expenses and this Section 3.3.11 shall be administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to the Premises described in Section 4 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information, Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant’s Common Area Share shall be the percentage set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information. In the event either the usable square feet of the Premises and/or the total usable square feet of the Project is changed pursuant to Section 1.6, Section 1.7 and/or Section 1.8, Tenant’s Common Area Share shall be separately calculated and administered by dividing the number of usable square feet of the Premises by the total number of usable square feet in the Project. Tenant’s Common Area Share shall not change except in the case of a physical change to the Project Common Areas or an expansion and/or contraction of the Premises pursuant to Section 1.6, Section 1.7 and/or Section 1.8.

 

3.4 Allocation of Direct Expenses.

 

3.4.1 Method of Allocation. The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 3.3 above, Direct Expenses (which consists of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices, consistently applied, shall be allocated to the tenants of the Building (as opposed to the tenants of any other buildings in the Project) and such portion shall be the Building Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease. Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the tenants of the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices, consistently applied.

 

3.4.2 Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants

of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices, consistently applied.

 

3.5 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. For every Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 3.5.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year in excess of the Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year.

 

3.5.1 Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first day of April following the end of each Expense Year (but in any event on or before the first day of July), a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of such Building Direct Expenses in excess of the Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, upon the later of the next installment of Base Rent due or within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year in excess of the Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Additional Rent,” as that term is defined in Section 3.5.2, below. If the Statement shows that Tenant has paid Estimated Additional Rent in excess of Tenant’s Building Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, Landlord shall pay such excess to Tenant together with the applicable Statement, even if the Lease has terminated or expired. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 3. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Statement setting forth an amount owing to Landlord calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.5 any unpaid amounts described herein, less any amounts owed from Landlord to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 3.5.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

 

3.5.2 Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated amount of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year in excess of the Building Direct Expenses for the Base Year (the “Estimated Additional Rent”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Additional Rent under this Article 3, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 3.3.7.2; however, Landlord shall endeavor to deliver the Estimate Statement as soon as practicable after Landlord has prepared the Statement for the preceding calendar year. In addition, Tenant may request by written notice to Landlord, no more than one (1) time per year, that Landlord provided Tenant with Landlord’s good faith projection of Building Direct Expenses for the upcoming or then-current Expense Year and Landlord shall respond to such request within fifteen (15) business days based upon information then available to Landlord; however, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not be bound by any such good-faith projection and shall have no liability to Tenant for any inaccuracy of such projections. Tenant shall pay, upon the later to occur of (i) the date upon which its next installment of Base Rent is due, and (ii) the date which is ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Additional Rent for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3.5.2). Such fraction

shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Additional Rent set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

 

3.6 Landlord’s Books and Records. Within two (2) years after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (“Review Period”), if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, Tenant or an independent certified public accountant (which accountant is a member of a regionally recognized accounting firm) designated by Tenant, may, after giving not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, during normal business hours, not more than once in any calendar year, inspect and photocopy Landlord’s records at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default after expiration of any applicable cure period under Section 12.1.1 of this Lease, provided, further, that Tenant and such accountant shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection and deliver an original of the same to Landlord and shall cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord’s records in strict confidence in compliance with such agreement, except as necessary in the enforcement of this Lease. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, a certification as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon an independent certified public accountant, each party may apply to the presiding judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court to appoint same from a regionally recognized accounting firm. Landlord shall cooperate in good faith with Tenant and the designated accountant to show Tenant and the designated accountant the information upon which the certification is based; provided that if such certification by the designated accountant proves that the Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement were overstated by more than three percent (3%), then the cost of the designated accountant and the cost of such certification, up to an aggregate maximum of $10,000, shall be paid for by Landlord and, if such certification by the designated accountant proves that the Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement were overstated by three percent (3%) or less or were in fact understated, then the cost of the designated accountant and the cost of such certification, up to an aggregate maximum of $10,000, shall be paid for by Tenant. Promptly following the parties’ receipt of such certification, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such certification, together with interest at the “Interest Rate”, as that term is defined in Section 19.28 of this Lease, from the date due until paid, in the case of payments by Tenant to Landlord, or from the date paid until reimbursed, in the case of reimbursements by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord shall be required to maintain records of all Direct Expenses set forth in each Statement delivered to Tenant for the entirety of the two (2) year period following Landlord’s delivery of the applicable Statement. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 3 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement delivered by Landlord, provided that the failure of Tenant to object thereto prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s approval of the applicable Statement. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant’s sole right to inspect Landlord’s books and records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 3.6 and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to inspect such books and records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant.

shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion; provided that consent to such other purpose or purposes shall not be unreasonably withheld if Landlord then permits a comparable use by another tenant of the Project in a comparable space and area in the Project.

 

5.2 Prohibited Uses. Tenant further covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises, the Common Areas (including, without limitation, the Project’s parking facility) or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of Exhibit E attached hereto (“Rules and Regulations”), or in violation of the laws of the United States of America, the State of California, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the Project) including, without limitation, any such laws, ordinances, regulations or requirements relating to “Hazardous Material”, as that term is defined in Section 19.29 below. Landlord shall enforce the Rules and Regulations in a reasonable and non-discriminatory manner. To the extent that these Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit E are contrary to, or inconsistent with, the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not enforce, modify or amend the Rules and Regulations in an unreasonable manner or in a manner which would unreasonably interfere with normal and customary office business operations permitted under Section 5.1. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions now or hereafter affecting the Project; provided that Landlord warrants that such documents do not prohibit use of the Premises permitted hereunder and do not materially and adversely affect the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder including, without limitation, obligations for Direct Expenses in accordance with Article 3.

 

5.3 Labor Harmony. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Project.

REPAIRS, ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

 

6.1 Repairs.

 

6.1.1 Repair Obligations. Landlord shall, as part of Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under Article 3 of this Lease, operate, improve, manage and maintain the Building and Project in accordance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations in a manner consistent with “Comparable Buildings,” defined as first class office buildings in the Woodland Hills/ West San Fernando Valley area comparable in age, location, amenities and quality of construction. Landlord shall keep and maintain the Building and Project (excluding the Tenant Improvements and Alterations), including the Building’s exterior walls, windows, roof and foundation, the Base, Shell and Core, and the Systems and Equipment located in the Building, and any Building standard Improvements installed in the Premises in proper working order, condition and repair (collectively, the “Landlord Repair Items”). Landlord shall keep and maintain the Landlord Repair Items in compliance with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, including any standard or regulation now or hereafter imposed on Landlord by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, that relates to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or the operation of the Premises (collectively, “Legal Requirements”); provided, however, that Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that if such compliance is required as a result of Tenant’s non-general office use of the Premises, or Tenant’s particular use or occupancy (as opposed to use or occupancy by office tenants in general), Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of causing, and Tenant shall cause, the Tenant Improvements, the Alterations, the Base, Shell and Core (but then only to the extent that the cost of such compliance is not included in Operating Expenses), to comply with the

Legal Requirements. Except as set forth above as Landlord’s obligations, and in addition to the obligations of Tenant set forth above, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Tenant Improvements and Alterations, and fixtures and furnishings in the Premises in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, but under the supervision and subject to the prior approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations and replace or repair all damaged, broken, or worn fixtures and appurtenances in the Premises; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building and/or the Project) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith upon being billed for same. Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Project or to any equipment located in the Project as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

 

6.1.2 Tenant Maintenance and Repair.

 

6.1.2.1 If Tenant provides notice (the “Repair Notice”) of an event or circumstance which pursuant to the terms of this Lease requires Landlord to fulfill an obligation, including, without limitation, to provide services or utilities, or repair, alter, improve and/or maintain the Premises or to comply with law (a “Required Action”) to Landlord and any mortgage lender of Landlord which has previously been identified in a notice delivered to Tenant, and Landlord fails to provide the Required Action within the time period required by this Lease, or a reasonable period of time, if no specific time period is specified in this Lease, after the receipt of the Repair Notice (the “Notice Date”), or, in any event, does not commence the Required Action within thirty (30) days after the Notice Date and complete the Required Action within thirty (30) days after commencement of the Required Action, then Tenant may proceed to take the Required Action, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and shall deliver a second notice to Landlord and such mortgage lender specifying that Tenant is taking the Required Action (the “Second Notice”); provided that if the nature of the Required Action is such that the same cannot reasonably be completed within a thirty (30)-day period, then Tenant shall not have the right to proceed to take the Required Action if Landlord diligently commences the Required Action within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete the Required Action.

 

6.1.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists an emergency such that the Premises or a portion thereof are rendered untenantable and Tenant’s personnel are forced to vacate the Premises or such portion thereof and if Tenant gives the notice (the “Emergency Notice”) of Tenant’s intention to take action with respect thereto (the “Necessary Action”) and the Necessary Action is also a Required Action, Tenant may take the Necessary Action if Landlord does not commence the Necessary Action within one (1) business day after the Emergency Notice (the “Emergency Cure Period”) and thereafter use its commercially reasonable, good faith efforts and due diligence to complete the Necessary Action as soon as possible.

 

6.1.2.3 If any Necessary Action will affect the Systems and Equipment, the structural integrity of the Building, or the exterior appearance of the Building, (i) Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building, provided that Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant from time to time during the Term of this Lease of any additions, deletions or other modifications, if any, to the list of approved contractors set forth in Schedule 1 to Exhibit C attached hereto (and for purposes of this Lease Tenant may rely on the most recent list of which Tenant has been given notice) or (ii) if such contractors are unavailable or unwilling

to perform, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by landlords of Comparable Buildings, for work on such items.

 

6.1.2.4 If any Required Action or Necessary Action is taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.1, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable and documented costs and expenses in taking the Required Action or Necessary Action within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of an invoice from Tenant which sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking the Required Action or Necessary Action on behalf of Landlord (the “Repair Invoice”). In the event Landlord does not reimburse Tenant for the Repair Invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt, then Tenant may deduct from the next Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in the Repair Invoice plus interest at the Interest Rate (the “Offset Right”).

 

6.2 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord and shall be approved or denied by notice delivered to Tenant within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of request for consent, provided that, if such notice of consent or denial is not received by Tenant within such ten (10) business day period, then, upon delivery of an additional five (5) business days’ notice to Landlord and Landlord’s failure to respond within such period, such Alterations shall be deemed approved by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make changes to the Premises, without Landlord’s consent, provided that such changes do not require any structural modifications to the Premises, do not require any changes to, or adversely affect, the Systems and Equipment, and do not affect the exterior appearance of the Building. Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of such changes, which notice shall be accompanied by reasonably adequate evidence that such changes meet the criteria contained in this Section 6.2. The construction of the improvements to the Premises pursuant to the Second Amendment shall be governed by the terms of the such Second Amendment and not the terms of this Article 6.

 

6.3 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement made at the time such consent is granted, which shall apply only to improvements which landlords of comparable office buildings generally do not permit tenants to leave in their premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of their lease, that Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term if such Alteration would be deemed an Extraordinary Improvement as such term is defined in the Second Amendment, and/or the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by Landlord. With respect to any Alterations installed in the Premises under the Original Lease, Landlord hereby waives any right to require that Tenant remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of this Lease Term, except in the event that, solely in connection with the improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Second Amendment, Landlord has provided written notice to Tenant prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease that Landlord will require removal of a particular Extraordinary Improvement. A contractor of Landlord’s selection shall perform all work that may affect the Systems and Equipment, structural aspects of the Building or exterior appearance of the Building; provided that Landlord shall cause the contractor to charge Tenant for such work an amount equal to the costs that competitive first-class, reputable and reliable contractors would have charged Tenant (but not necessarily the lowest available), and such work shall be performed at Tenant’s cost. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, all in conformance with Landlord’s reasonable construction rules and regulations. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with Landlord’s Construction Package attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by this reference, and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the

work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project, or interfere with the labor force working in the Project. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Section 19.18 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of Los Angeles in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project management office a reproducible, full-sized copy of the “as built” drawings (1/8 inch = 1 foot scale) of the Alterations.

 

6.4 Payment for Improvements. In the event Tenant orders any Alterations or repair work directly from Landlord, the charges for such work shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease, due and payable within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of billing therefor, either periodically during construction or upon substantial completion of such work, at Landlord’s option. If payment is made directly to contractors, Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant’s payment for work to such contractors. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all reasonable overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work. If, however, (a) Tenant retains the contractor(s) directly, (b) the subject Alterations or repair work affects Systems and Equipment, structural aspects of the Building or exterior appearance of the Building and (c) the cost of such work specified in clause (a) of this Section 6.4 exceeds $25,000, then Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction coordination fee in the amount of two percent (2%) of the cost of such work.

 

6.5 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 7 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 7 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

 

6.6 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which may be permanently installed in or about the Premises, and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord. Any articles of personal property including business and trade fixtures not attached to, or built into, the Premises, machinery and equipment (including, without limitation, video conferencing and boardroom equipment) not permanently affixed to the Premises, free-standing cabinet work, and movable partitions, which were installed by Tenant in the Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease after notice and lapse of any applicable cure period and provided that Tenant repairs to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction any damage to the Premises, the Building and any other part of the Project caused by such removal. Furthermore, if Landlord, as a condition to Landlord’s consent to any Alteration, requires that Tenant remove any Alteration upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term if such Alteration is deemed to be an Extraordinary Improvement as set forth in Section 6.3 above, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove such Alterations and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations, after three (3) days’ notice to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to complete such removal and repair, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant.

ARTICLE 7

 

INSURANCE

 

7.1 Indemnification and Waiver. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination.

 

7.1.1 Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by law, and except as provided in this Lease, Landlord, its members, their partners, and all of their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for any damage to property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties, in which case Landlord shall be responsible for such damage to the extent not covered by property insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease or actually carried by Tenant.

 

7.1.2 Tenant’s Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises during the Lease Term, provided that, except as set forth below, the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because Tenant must carry insurance pursuant to Section 7.3.2, below, to cover its personal property and all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment and merchandise within the Premises and the Tenant Improvements and other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises (collectively, “Tenant Insured Items”), Tenant hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any Claim with respect to any Tenant Insured Items within the Premises, to the extent such Claim is covered or required to covered by Tenant’s insurance, even if resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties (except that Landlord shall, in such case, be responsible for deductible amounts, not to exceed standard deductible amounts for such coverage).

 

7.1.3 Landlord’s Indemnity. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Tenant its partners, and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees and independent contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) from any Claims incurred in connection with or arising from (i) any cause in the Project but outside of the Premises during the Lease Term (to the extent covered by the general liability insurance required to be carried by Landlord under Section 7.2, below), or (ii) any negligent acts or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties in, on, or about the Project (subject to the terms of the last sentence of Section 7.1.2, above) either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that, except as set forth below, the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent such Claims arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because Landlord is required to maintain pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2, below, insurance on the Project and the Premises and Tenant compensates Landlord for such insurance as part of Direct Expenses, Landlord hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any Claims with respect to such property and Landlord’s equipment and property on the Project to the extent such Claim is covered by insurance of the type required to be carried by Landlord under Section 7.2, below, even if resulting from the negligent acts or willful misconduct of the Tenant Parties (except that Tenant shall, in such case, be responsible for deductible amounts, not to exceed $10,000 per occurrence).

 

7.2 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall insure the Building and the Real Property during the Lease Term against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage and special extended coverage on the Building. Such coverage shall be in such amounts, from such companies, and on such terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine.

Landlord, such insurance coverage may include the risks of earthquakes and/or flood damage and additional hazards, a rental loss endorsement and one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Building or any portion thereof. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all insurance company requirements of which Tenant has been notified pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

 

7.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.

 

7.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance on an occurrence basis covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant’s operations, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including the following divisions of insurance: Premises and Operations, and Blanket Contractual Liability. Such insurance shall cover the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 7.1 of this Lease (but only to the extent that such coverage is typically afforded by a typical liability policy), for limits of liability not less than:

 

Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability    $3,000,000 each occurrence $3,000,000 annual aggregate
Personal Injury Liability    $3,000,000 each occurrence $3,000,000 annual aggregate

 

7.3.2 Property Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on an “all risks” of physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage. Provided that Tenant has and continues to have a net worth in excess of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and as evidenced by audited financial statements, Tenant shall have the right to satisfy the property insurance requirements of Tenant set forth in Section 7.3.2 in the form of a reasonably acceptable “self-insurance” program. Within ten (10) days after request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable documentation that Tenant satisfies the net worth requirement set forth above. Prior to the institution of any such self-insurance, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its election to so self-insure and shall submit to Landlord reasonably satisfactory evidence of a funded self-insurance program including the name, address and phone number of the claims administrator. Such program must be consistent with reasonably prudent and sound business practices. This Section 7.3.2 shall in no way limit or diminish the rights that Landlord would have had as an additional insured under any insurance policy, or the rights it would have had under any other provision of this Lease to receive from Tenant an amount equal to all or any portion of any insurance policy proceeds that would have been payable to Landlord or Tenant, under any required policy of insurance which was not maintained by Tenant as a result of such self-insurance program. Furthermore, this Section 7.3.2 shall in no way limit or diminish the waiver of subrogation rights and obligations provided in Section 7.5, nor the rights that Landlord’s insurance carriers would have had under “other insurance” or similar clauses in Landlord’s insurance policies if Tenant had not satisfied its insurance requirements with said self-insurance program.

 

7.3.3 Loss-of-income and extra expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly

insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to self-insure the coverage described in this Section 7.3.3, in which case a waiver of subrogation shall be deemed to apply to such self-insurance.

 

7.3.4 Automobile Liability Insurance covering any and all owned, hired and non-owned vehicles used by any employees or agents of Tenant for limits not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence.

 

7.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. All insurance required of Tenant may be subject to standard deductibles. All insurance shall (i) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-VII in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; and (ii) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed in a manner which may be adverse to Landlord unless ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord of which Tenant has at least ten (10) days’ prior notice. In addition, the insurance described in Section 7.3.1 shall (a) name Landlord, and any other party related to the Project specified by Landlord, as an additional insured; (b) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 7.1 of this Lease (but only to the extent that such coverage is typically afforded by a typical liability policy); and (c) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant to the extent of losses arising out of the acts or omissions of Tenant. Tenant shall deliver certificates of all policies to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and proof of continuation of coverage before the expiration dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, (i) deny Tenant the right to occupy the Premises until such time as Tenant delivers such policies or certificate (which denial shall have no effect upon the Lease Commencement Date), or (ii) upon at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

 

7.5 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property insurance and the type of insurance described in Section 7.3.3 above waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, so long as the insurance carried by Landlord and Tenant, respectively, is not invalidated thereby. As long as such waivers of subrogation are contained in their respective insurance policies, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under such policies. If either party fails to carry the amounts and types of insurance required to be carried by it pursuant to this Article 7, such failure shall be deemed to be a covenant and agreement by such party to self-insure with respect to the type and amount of insurance which such party so failed to carry, with full waiver of subrogation with respect thereto.

 

7.6 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 7, and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event shall such increased amounts of insurance or such other reasonable types of insurance be in excess of that required by landlords of Comparable Buildings with respect to tenants comparable to Tenant, provided that Landlord reasonably demonstrates that Landlord’s request satisfies the criteria set forth in this Section 7.6.

ARTICLE 8

 

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

 

8.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Building, Premises or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 8, restore the Building, Premises and Project. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Project prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Project shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 7.3 of this Lease to the extent necessary to reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the repair of any such damage, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, plus the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Landlord’s insurance carrier to the extent allocable to damage of the Tenant Improvements and Alterations, the cost of such repair shall be paid by Tenant on a progress-payment basis, but only after exhaustion of Tenant’s and Landlord’s insurance proceeds received by Landlord and allocable to the damage of the Tenant Improvements and Alterations. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating, to the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided, however, that if the Premises is damaged such that the remaining portion thereof is not sufficient to allow Tenant to conduct is business operations from such remaining portion and Tenant does not conduct its business operations therefrom, Landlord shall allow Tenant a total abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result of the subject damage.

 

8.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 8.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Building, Premises and Project and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within eighteen (18) months after the date Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of such damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums) as certified by a contractor mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (the “Certifying Contractor”); or (ii) the amount of the damage not fully covered, including deductible amounts, but excluding any amounts which would have been covered had Landlord carried the insurance required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease, by Landlord’s insurance policies is equal to or greater than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot be completed within eighteen (18) months after the date

Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as a result of such damage, as certified by the Certifying Contractor, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than the later of (A) Landlord’s delivery of notice to Tenant that Landlord is not electing to terminate this Lease or (B) ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant have terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually completed within such eighteen (18) month period, as extended by Tenant delays and delays due to Force Majeure events, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the “Damage Termination Notice”), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (the “Damage Termination Date”), which Damage Termination Date shall not be earlier than the end of each such month. Tenant may at any time prior to any Damage Termination Date void any previously delivered Damage Termination Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Damage Termination Notice, a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the damage certifying that it is such contractor’s good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date. If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period. At any time, from time to time, after the date occurring sixty (60) days after the date of the damage, Tenant may request that Landlord inform Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the date of completion of the repairs and Landlord shall respond to such request within five (5) business days.

 

8.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 8, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

 

8.4 Damage Near End of Term. In the event that the Premises, the Building, or the Project is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term (as the same may have been extended), then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 8, Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within sixty (60) days after the necessity for repairs as the result of such damage or destruction becomes known, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of damage, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if Landlord’s notice of termination is given more than nine (9) months before the expiration of the Term and Tenant has an unexercised option to renew under Section 2.2, subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, Tenant may override Landlord’s termination notice given under this Section 8.4 by exercising the option to renew by written notice within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of termination, in which case this Lease will remain in full force and effect and Landlord will repair/restore the Damage as provided above.

10.2 Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use heat-generating machines, machines other than normal office machines, or equipment or lighting other than Building standard lights in the Premises, which may materially and adversely affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or increase the water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 of this Lease. If such consent is given, Tenant shall, with the reasonable approval of Landlord of plans and specifications therefor, install supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities in the Premises, including supplementary or additional metering devices (to the extent necessary to eliminate the material, adverse effect), and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, increased wear and tear on existing equipment and other similar charges shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof. If Tenant uses water or electricity in excess of that supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof all actual costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such excess consumption, the cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and tear on existing equipment caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord may install devices to separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice, including the cost of such additional metering devices if such devices indicate there has been excess consumption. If Tenant desires to use heat, ventilation or air conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord such reasonable prior notice, if any, as Landlord shall from time to time reasonably establish as appropriate, of Tenant’s desired use in order to supply such utilities, and Landlord shall supply such utilities to Tenant at such hourly cost to Tenant as Landlord shall from time to time establish for the Building, which rate is, as of the date of this Lease, Sixty Dollars ($60.00) per hour per floor. The hourly charge for such excess HVAC use shall not increase for the first thirty-six (36) months of the Term of this Lease, but may change thereafter from time-to-time throughout the Lease Term if and to the extent Landlord’s actual costs in providing such service increase provided that Landlord can substantiate such increase. There shall be no minimum charge for such after-hours HVAC, except for any such service ordered for a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday, in which case there shall be a minimum charge equal to four (4) hours of use. Amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord for such use of additional utilities shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be billed on a monthly basis. Landlord may increase the hours or days during which air conditioning, heating and ventilation are provided to the Premises and the Building to accommodate the usage by tenants occupying two-thirds or more of the rentable square feet of the Building or Project.

 

10.3 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 10. If any governmental entity promulgates or revises any statute, ordinance, building code, fire code or other code or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines on Landlord or the Project or any portion thereof, relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions or the provision of any other utility or service provided with respect to this Lease or if Landlord is required to make alterations to the Project or any portion thereof in order to comply with such mandatory or

voluntary controls or guidelines, then Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply with such mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines or make such alterations to the Project related thereto without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, provided that the Premises are not thereby rendered untenantable, and further provided that Landlord will not voluntarily reduce the level of services provided to the Premises unless Landlord is motivated to do so by anticipated costs savings and efficiencies of operation consistent with the first class character of the Project. Such compliance and the making of such permitted alterations shall in no event entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay the full Rent reserved hereunder or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. In addition, the cost of such compliance and alterations shall be included in Operating Expenses.

 

10.3.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant is prevented from using the Premises or any portion thereof (the “Affected Area”) to conduct its normal business operations and Tenant does not, in fact, use the Affected Area for a period of five (5) consecutive business days or more or ten (10) business days or more in any twelve (12) month period, (i) due to any service or utility (including but not limited to passenger elevator service, janitorial service, HVAC or water) (collectively, the “Essential Services”) not being provided to the Affected Area as required by the terms of this Lease, (ii) because of the presence, in a form or concentration in violation of applicable law then in effect, of Hazardous Materials regarded as unhealthful under applicable regulations then in effect in or about the Premises (which Hazardous Materials were not brought onto the Project by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, or licensees), or (iii) due to Force Majeure directly affecting the Project, including events of damage referred to in Article 8, then the following shall apply.

 

10.3.1.1 Tenant shall promptly deliver notice of such condition (the “Cure Notice”) to Landlord and any first mortgage lender of Landlord which has previously been identified in a notice delivered to Tenant and if Landlord fails to cure such condition within two (2) business days after delivery of the Cure Notice, then, upon delivery of an additional notice to Landlord and any such mortgage lender of Landlord, Rent applicable to the Affected Area shall be abated from the date which occurred three (3) full business days prior to delivery to Landlord of the Cure Notice until the date when such failure is cured; provided, however, that if Tenant has previously paid Rent, including parking fees to Landlord for a period of time subsequent to the commencement of Tenant’s right to abate Rent hereunder, then Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days following the date of such abatement, reimburse to Tenant the amount of such excess payments, or Tenant, in addition to its other remedies under this Lease, shall have the right to offset an amount equivalent to such excess payments against the sums next due under this Lease.

 

10.3.1.2 If any condition set forth in Section 10.3.1, above, shall not be cured within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Cure Notice, such condition shall be considered an event of damage to the Premises under Article 8 and Tenant shall have the rights set forth in Article 8 with respect thereto, including the right to terminate this Lease, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (in which case the date of expiration of said ninety (90) day period shall be deemed the date of damage for purposes of the termination provisions of Article 8).

 

 

10.4 Additional Services. Landlord shall also have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to provide any additional services which may be requested by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing, lamp replacement, additional janitorial service, and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after billing, the sum of all costs to Landlord of such additional services plus an administration fee in the amount of the lesser of (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the cost of such work or (ii) Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00). If Landlord elects not to provide such service, Tenant shall be entitled to use outside vendors selected by Tenant in order to provide such service, provided that Landlord shall have reasonable approval rights over such vendors if Landlord reasonably determines such work could affect other tenants in the Project. Charges for any service for which Tenant is required to pay from time to time hereunder shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be billed on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if Tenant fails to make payment for any such services within thirty (30) days of receipt of bills

therefor, Landlord may discontinue any or all of such additional services until payment and such discontinuance shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its other obligations under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

11.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any entity to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 11.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, and (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and any other information reasonably required by Landlord and which is in Tenant’s or the proposed Transferee’s possession and to which Tenant is entitled (provided, however, Landlord shall be entitled to request and to receive, reasonably adequate financial statements or other financial reports evidencing the financial standing and credit of the proposed Transferee), which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require and which is in Tenant’s or the proposed Transferee’s possession and to which Tenant is entitled. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent, where required, shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including without limitation, any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.

 

11.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, and Landlord shall grant or deny its consent to a proposed Transfer within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request therefor together with the information described in Section 11.1 above. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

 

11.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;

 

11.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

 

11.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof that experiences a high volume of public visitation (and no other governmental agency or instrumentality is then occupying any material portion of the Project);

11.2.4 The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;

 

11.2.5 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the Transfer on the date consent is requested; or

 

11.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease.

 

In addition, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to consider, along with other factors (including, without limitation, those set forth in Sections 11.2.1 through 11.2.6, inclusive, above) in its analysis of whether or not to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer, the fact that the proposed Transferee will retain any right originally granted to Tenant under Section 1.6 or Section 1.7 of this Lease, provided that such retention may not be the sole factor for denying such consent (or otherwise solely determinative). An assignee pursuant to an assignment of this Lease to which Landlord has consented in accordance with this Lease shall be referred to in this Lease as a “Permitted Assignee.” If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 11.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 11.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 11.2, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant waives any right it may have at law or in equity to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s failure to consent to a Transfer including any of its rights under California Civil Code Section 1995.310 provided, however, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all damages incurred by Tenant as a result of such failure by Landlord in breach of this Lease. Landlord waives any right it may have under this Lease to terminate this Lease as a result of Tenant’s Transfer of any Transfer Space in violation of this Article 11; provided, however, that Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such violation of this Article 11. Furthermore, Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s costs in connection with the termination (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) of any Transfer in violation of this Article 11 and such Transfer shall be void as against Landlord. If Landlord improperly denies its consent to a Transfer which Tenant is permitted to make under this Article 11, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all direct damages incurred by Tenant as a result of such improper refusal to consent.

 

11.3 Transfer Premium.

 

11.3.1 Definition of Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 11.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration received by Tenant from the Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer, (iii) any costs to buy-out or takeover the previous lease of a Transferee, (iv) reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the Transfer including those fees and costs reimbursed to Landlord pursuant to the last sentence of Section 11.1, (v) the gross revenue paid to Landlord by Tenant during the period of the applicable sublease term or during the assignment with respect to the Subject Space; (vi) the gross revenue with respect to the Subject Space paid to Landlord by Tenant for all days the Subject Space was vacated from the date that Tenant first vacated the Subject Space until the date the assignee or sublessee was to pay Rent, (vii)

unamortized cost of initial and subsequent improvements to the Subject Space by Tenant; (viii) rental paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period the Subject Space is vacated and not occupied by Tenant, following the engagement of a broker to market the space for sublease and (ix) marketing and advertising costs, and (x) any other “out-of-pocket” monetary concessions reasonably provided in connection with the Transfer including, but not limited to, tenant improvement or decorating allowances (collectively, the “Transfer Costs”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or in excess of fair market value for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.

 

11.3.2 Payment of Transfer Premium. The determination of the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made on an annual basis in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.3.2, but an estimate of the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made each month and one-twelfth of such estimated amount shall be paid to Landlord promptly, but in no event later than the next date for payment of Base Rent hereunder, subject to an annual reconciliation on each anniversary date of the Transfer. If the payments to Landlord under this Section 11.3.2 during the twelve (12) months preceding each annual reconciliation exceed the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of Transfer Premium determined on an annual basis, then Landlord shall credit the overpayment against Tenant’s future obligations under this Section 11.3.2 or if the overpayment occurs during the last year of the Transfer in question, refund the excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. If Tenant has underpaid Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium, as determined by such annual reconciliation, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency to Landlord promptly, but in no event later than the next date for payment of Base Rent hereunder which is at least fifteen (15) days after such deficiency is determined and Tenant has notice thereof. For purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium on an annual basis, Tenant’s Transfer Costs shall be deemed to be offset against the first rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by the Transferee, until such Transfer Costs are exhausted.

 

11.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11, if Tenant contemplates a Transfer (other than the transactions specified in Section 11.7 below), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and number of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”) and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer (“Contemplated Term”). Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Intention to Transfer Notice, to terminate this Lease as to the Contemplated Transfer Space for the Contemplated Term effective as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event that such option is exercised by Landlord, this Lease shall be terminated (or, where appropriate, suspended if the last day of the Contemplated Term is not the last day of the Lease Term, and at the end of such suspension period, the applicable portion of the Premises shall be returned to Tenant in the same condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted) with respect to the Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date until the last date of the Contemplated Term. If this Lease shall be so terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the entire Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to terminate this Lease as to the Contemplated Transfer Space for the Contemplated Term under this Section 11.4 within such ten (10) business day period, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the

Contemplated Transfer Space to a proposed Transferee and Landlord shall not have any right to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer thereof consummated within a period of six (6) months (the “Six Month Period”) commencing on the expiration of such ten (10) business day period; provided, however, that any such Transfer shall be subject to other terms of this Article 11. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Six Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Six Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 11.4.

 

11.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right upon reasonable prior notice and 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 with respect to any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency plus interest at the Interest Rate and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable cost of such audit.

 

11.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partners, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period; subject in each case to Section 11.7 below.

 

11.7 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11, (i) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or to an entity resulting, by operation of law or otherwise, from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant (any such entity, an “Affiliate”), (ii) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate, a parent of an Affiliate, or an Affiliate of a parent, or (iii) a transfer, by law or otherwise, in connection with the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or an Affiliate, shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 11, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. An assignee of Tenant’s entire interest under this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence may be referred to herein as an “Affiliated Assignee.” “Control,” as used in this Section 11.7, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

11.8 Landlord’s Recognition of Transfers upon Lease Termination. Tenant may request, as part of its Transfer Notice, that a Transferee receive a recognition agreement (“Recognition Agreement”) from Landlord which provides that in the event this Lease is terminated, Landlord shall recognize the Transfer, and Landlord shall be required to execute a Recognition Agreement with such Transferee only under the following conditions (which conditions must be reflected in the Recognition Agreement): (i) such Transfer is made upon the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, subject to equitable modifications based on the

number of rentable square feet contained in the Subject Space; provided, however, the rental and other economic terms of such Transfer shall be the greater of (A) those applicable to the Subject Space under this Lease, or (B) those applicable to the Subject Space under the assignment or sublease, (ii) the Subject Space is either one or both of (A) a floor or floors higher than any other floors of the Premises which are not subject to a Recognition Agreement, or (B) a floor or floors lower than any other floors of the Premises which are not subject to a Recognition Agreement, (iii) the Subject Space contains only full floors in the Building, (iv) all Subject Space is contiguous, (v) the Transferee is a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the subject Transfer, (vi) Landlord shall not be liable for any act or omission of Tenant, (vii) Landlord shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses which the Transferee might have as to Tenant or to any claims for damages against Tenant, (viii) Landlord shall not be required or obligated to credit the Transferee with any rent or additional rent paid by the Transferee to Tenant except to the extent actually received by Landlord, (ix) Landlord shall not be bound by any terms or conditions of the Transfer which are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Lease, (x) Landlord shall be responsible for performance of only those covenants and obligation of Tenant pursuant to the Transfer accruing after the termination of this Lease, and (xi) the Transferee shall make full and complete attornment to Landlord, as lessor, pursuant to a written agreement executed by Landlord and the Transferee so as to establish direct privity of contract between Landlord and the Transferee with the same force and effect as if the Transfer was originally made directly between Landlord and the Transferee. Upon Landlord’s written request given any time after the termination of this Lease, the Transferee shall execute a lease for the Subject Space upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Recognition Agreement. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent and within thirty (30) days after invoice, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in preparing such Recognition Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 12

 

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

 

12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

 

12.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, within five (5) business days of notice that the same is due, which notice shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; or

 

12.1.2 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that any such notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided further that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)- day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default as soon as possible.

 

12.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive.

 

12.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

 

(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

 

(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

 

The term “rent” as used in this Section 12.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Paragraphs 12.2.1 (i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in Paragraph 12.2.1 (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be 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%).

 

12.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

 

12.3 Sublessees of Tenant. If Landlord terminates this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 12, except as provided in Section 11.8 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

 

12.4 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord or Tenant in enforcement of one or more of the remedies available to such party upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

 

12.5 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 12, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but

merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.

 

12.6 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, any failure by Landlord to observe or perform any provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform shall constitute a default hereunder by Landlord, provided that, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)-day period, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.

 

ARTICLE 13

 

CONDEMNATION

 

13.1 Permanent Taking. In case the whole of the Premises, the Building or Project, or such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be taken by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of such taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. If such portion of the Building or Project is so taken or sold so as to require a substantial alteration or reconstruction of the remaining portions thereof, or which renders the Building or Project economically inviable for its use as presently intended, or requires cancellation of substantially all tenant leases in the Building, this Lease may be terminated by Landlord, as of the date of the vesting of title under such taking or sale, by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following notice to Landlord of the date on which said vesting will occur. Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. If the amount of property or the type of estate taken shall not substantially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, this Lease shall not terminate and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. In such event, Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to such partial taking, and the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking and restoration. Nothing contained in this Article 13 shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for, one-half (1/2) of the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.

 

13.2 Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the number of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for claims made by Tenant as a result of the necessity of Tenant’s moving to temporary space during the period of such temporary taking.

BROKERS

 

Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 11 of the Summary (the “Brokers”), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any dealings with any real estate broker or agent, other than the Brokers, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party.

 

ARTICLE 15

 

LANDLORD’S LIABILITY

 

It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the liability of Landlord and the Landlord Parties hereunder (including any successor landlord hereunder) and any recourse by Tenant against Landlord or the Landlord Parties shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the interest of Landlord in and to the Building, or (ii) the equity interest Landlord would have in the Building if the Building were encumbered by third-party debt in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the value of the Building, and neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties, shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, hereby expressly waives and releases Landlord and the Landlord Parties from such personal liability. The obligations of Tenant under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the directors, officers or shareholders of Tenant or Tenant’s successor, and Landlord shall look solely to the assets of Tenant for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease and will not seek recourse against such directors, officers or shareholders nor against any of their personal assets for such satisfaction.

 

ARTICLE 16

 

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

 

ARTICLE 17

 

WARNER CENTER ASSOCIATION

 

It is understood that at the time of the execution of this Lease an association has been formed, the purpose of which is to identify and promote the best interest of the employers and employees of Warner Center. Tenant shall, throughout the Lease Term, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with and promote the programs of such association as they may from time to time exist so long as the policies of such association shall be non-discriminatory with respect to Tenant and with respect to any membership fee.

 

ARTICLE 18

 

TENANT PARKING

 

Tenant shall lease, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, the number of parking passes set forth in Section 9 of the Summary, throughout the Lease Term. Of such parking passes, two (2) passes for each 1,000 usable square feet of the Premises shall be for parking located on the roof of Parking Structure Two (as such structure is shown on Exhibit “B” hereto) (“Roof Passes”), one (1) pass for each 1,000 usable square feet of the Premises shall be

for parking located on an unreserved basis anywhere in Parking Structure Two (“Structure Two Passes”) and the remaining one (1) pass for each 1,000 usable square feet of the Premises shall be for parking located in Parking Structure One or Parking Structure Two as determined by Landlord (“Flex Passes”). Of the Structure Two Passes, Tenant may elect to have up to eighteen (18) of such passes designated for covered reserved parking at locations within Parking Structure Two reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord or, at Landlord’s option, “Landlord’s Designee” (as that term is defined in this Article 18 below), for all such automobile parking passes, on a monthly basis, the prevailing rate charged from time to time for parking passes in the parking facility or facilities. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for any taxes imposed by any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such parking passes by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all parking charges shall be fifty percent (50%) of the prevailing rate for the Project commencing on January 1, 2005 and continuing through the end of the sixtieth (60th) month of the Term of this Lease. Commencing on January 1, 2010 and continuing throughout the remainder of the Term, the parking charges shall be seventy-five percent (75%) of the prevailing rate for Project parking. Tenant shall also receive monthly validation credits for fifty percent (50%) of all validation costs that exceed $2,750 per month. Tenant shall abide by all reasonable Rules and Regulations which are reasonably prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the parking facility or facilities and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to have Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such Rules and Regulations. Landlord specifically reserves the right, at any time, to (i) change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the parking facility or facilities, and/or (ii) perform repairs to the parking facility or facilities, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, close-off or restrict access to the parking facility or facilities for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration, improvements or repairs provided such closure or restriction does not materially interfere with Tenant’s operation of business. Landlord may lease the parking areas, enter into a license agreement or otherwise delegate its responsibilities under this Article 18 to a parking operator (“Landlord’s Designee”) in which case Landlord’s Designee shall have all the rights attributed under this Article 18 to the Landlord. The parking passes leased by Tenant pursuant to this Article 18 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval, except that Tenant may transfer a prorata number of passes to any Transferee permitted under Article 11 above, and to Tenant’s outside auditors, consultants, contractors, agents and/or other invitees who will frequent the Premises on more than an occasional basis; provided that Tenant shall not profit from any such transfer. Tenant shall be entitled to parking validations for visitor parking at the rates prevailing from time to time for such validation parking in the Project, subject to the discount specified above in this Article 18.

 

ARTICLE 19

 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

19.1 Estoppel Certificates. Within twenty (20) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate in such form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof, indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord, containing the same types of information, and within the same period of time, as set forth above, with such changes as are reasonably necessary to reflect that the estoppel certificate is being granted and signed by Landlord to Tenant, rather than from Tenant to Landlord or a lender of Landlord.

19.6 Nonwaiver. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Landlord or Tenant to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision and even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently, any waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing.

said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment, except with respect to Rent due under such notice, suit or judgment.

 

19.7 Holding Over. If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable, during the first thirty (30) days after such holdover commences, at a monthly rate equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and thereafter at a monthly rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Section 19.7 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 19.7 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

 

19.8 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord or Tenant in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

 

19.9 Binding Effect. Subject to all other provisions of this Lease, each of the provisions of this Lease shall extend to and shall, as the case may require, bind or inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and of Tenant, but also of their respective successors or assigns, provided this clause shall not permit any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 11 of this Lease.

 

19.10 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

19.11 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage or trust deed, now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. In consideration of, and as a condition precedent to, Tenant’s agreement to permit its interest pursuant to this Lease to be subordinated to any particular future ground or underlying lease of the Building or Project or to the lien of any first mortgage or trust deed hereafter enforced against the Building or Project and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement executed by the landlord under such ground lease or underlying lease or the holder of such mortgage or trust deed. Each such non-disturbance agreement provided by Landlord shall acknowledge, or shall not preclude, any rights of Tenant to offsets against Rent, as expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such

mortgage or if Landlord grants a deed in lieu thereof, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever except as expressly provided in this Lease, to the purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or the grantee of a deed in lieu thereof, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser, grantee or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser, grantee or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within twenty (20) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Promptly after Landlord’s execution and delivery of this Lease, and not later than thirty (30) days after such execution and delivery, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, for Tenant’s signature, a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof (“SNDA”) executed by SunAmerica Life Insurance Company and Landlord. Delivery of an original of the SNDA executed by Landlord and Tenant shall be a condition precedent to Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

19.12 Waiver of Jury Trial; Attorneys’ Fees. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS LEASE, FOR DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH HEREOF, OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER. If either party commences litigation against the other for the specific performance of this Lease, for damages for the breach hereof or otherwise for enforcement of any remedy hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party such costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees as may have been incurred, including any and all costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment.

 

19.13 Entry by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them during normal business hours; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or ground or underlying lessors or during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 19.13, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord during normal business hours (except for janitorial service which shall be performed after normal business hours); and (B) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes; provided, however, that any such entry shall be accomplished as expeditiously as reasonably possible and in a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. Tenant may, subject to Landlord’s prior approval, designate certain areas of the Premises as “Secured Areas” should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential information. Landlord may only enter such Secured Areas upon two (2) business days’ notice to Tenant which notice shall specify the date and time of such entry by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may enter the Secured Areas without notice to Tenant in the event of an emergency, in which case Landlord

shall provide Tenant with notice of such entry promptly thereafter. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide janitorial service to any such Secured Areas except to the extent Tenant authorizes and permits access thereto for such purposes.

 

19.14 Intentionally Omitted.

 

19.15 Surrender of Premises; Ownership and Removal of Trade Fixtures.

 

19.15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.

 

19.15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 19.15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in good order and condition and as improved by Landlord and/or Tenant (subject to the provisions of Article 6), reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.

 

19.16 Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto, and any side letter or separate agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with this Lease and dated of even date herewith, contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises and shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents with respect to the subject hereof. None of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease.

 

19.17 Signs.

 

19.17.1 Full Floors. Provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, for any portion of the Premises which comprises an entire floor of the Building, at its sole cost and expense, may install exclusive identification signage and informational signage anywhere in such full floor portion of the Premises including in the elevator lobby of such full floor portion of the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building. The size and specifications for such signs shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for maintenance and repair of any such signs. In addition, Tenant shall cause such signs to be removed from the

Premises and shall repair all damage to the Premises and the Building resulting from such removal, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

19.17.2 Multi-Tenant Floors. If other tenants occupy space on the floor on which the Premises is located, Tenant’s identifying signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord’s Building standard signage program.

 

19.17.3 Monument Signage. Tenant shall be entitled to maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the monument signage Tenant currently maintains at the Project (“Monument Signage”). Such Monument Signage shall be exclusive to Tenant and will afford signs and general visibility thereof on two (2) sides. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, and specifications of the Monument Signage shall be consistent with that of other monument signage at the Project as of the date of this Lease and otherwise subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord and Tenant. In addition, the Monument Signage shall be subject to receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all applicable governmental laws and ordinances including, without limitation, the Warner Center Specific Plan and shall be subject to any covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project. In the event the necessary governmental approvals and permits for the monument or the Monument Signage are not received, Landlord’s and Tenant’s rights and obligations under the remaining provisions of this Lease shall be unaffected. The rights to the Monument Signage may not be transferred by the Original Tenant or changed once such signage is initially installed except that Tenant shall be entitled to transfer the rights to the Monument Signage to an Affiliate Assignee (and, as a result, change the name on the Monument Signage to reflect such assignee’s name), but only if such Affiliate Assignee’s name is not an “Objectionable Name.” The term “Objectionable Name” shall mean any name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is materially inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of a first-class, institutional quality, high-rise office building in the Los Angeles area; notwithstanding the foregoing, any name that would conflict with any covenants in leases of space in the Project shall also be deemed to be an Objectionable Name. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or any other time that Tenant determines that it no longer desire to have Monument Signage as set forth in Section 19.17.6 below or otherwise), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause the Monument Signage to be removed from the monument and shall cause the monument to be restored to the condition existing prior to the placement of such signage. If Tenant fails to remove such signage from the monument and to restore the monument as provided in the immediately preceding sentence within thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or upon termination of Tenant’s right to such signage pursuant to Section 19.17.6 below), then Landlord may perform such work, and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor.

19.17.6 Rooftop Signage. Upon the expiration or any earlier termination of the rights now held by SunAmerica Life Insurance Company to maintain the currently existing rooftop signage at the Building, Tenant shall have the right to substitute Tenant’s rooftop signage identifying Tenant (“Exterior Signage”). Tenant must exercise such right, if at all, within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that such Exterior Signage is available. Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord in writing that Tenant is exercising such right shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s election to not to exercise its right to such Exterior Signage. If Tenant so elects to obtain Exterior Signage, the finish, location graphics, materials, color, design, lettering and other specifications of the Exterior Signage shall otherwise be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Tenant acknowledges that the quality of the Project will be closely identified with the aesthetics of the buildings located therein and of the signage in the Project and that Landlord’s reasonable discretion in approving the graphics, materials, color, design, lettering and other specifications of the Exterior Signage may take into consideration Landlord’s heightened concerns over such aesthetics. In addition, Tenant’s rights to the Exterior Signage shall be subject to Tenant’s receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all applicable governmental laws and ordinances including, without limitation, any specific plan governing Warner Center. Landlord shall fully cooperate with Tenant’s attempt to obtain any such permits and approvals, at no cost to Landlord. The cost of installation of the Exterior Signage as well as all costs of design and construction of such signage and all other cost associated with such signage including, without limitation, permits, maintenance and repair, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. The rights to the Exterior Signage may not be transferred by the Original Tenant or changed once such signage is initially installed except that Tenant shall be entitled to transfer the rights to the Exterior Signage to an Affiliate Assignee (and as a result, change the name on the Exterior Signage to reflect such assignee’s name), but only if such Affiliate Assignee’s name is not an Objectionable Name. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or any other time Tenant determines that it no longer desires to have Exterior Signage) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause the Exterior Signage to be removed from the Building and shall cause the Building to be restored to the condition existing prior to the placement of such signage. If Tenant fails to remove such signage from the Building and fails to restore the Building as provided in the immediately preceding sentence within thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Landlord may perform such work, and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor. The immediately preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

19.18 Covenant Against Liens. Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Project or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Project, the Building or the Premises, or any portion thereof, with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be removed of record within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord regarding the existence of such lien. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed on or before the date occurring thirty (30) days after notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may upon an additional five (5) days notice to Tenant, immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor.

Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust as additional security, but agrees that an assignment shall not release Landlord from its obligations hereunder and Tenant shall continue to look to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

19.36 Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant’s designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.

In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representations, including, but not limited to, any representation as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the exhibits attached hereto.

 

19.38 Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building or Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building or Project.

 

19.39 Submission of Lease. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

 

19.40 Independent Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord’s expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building or Project or any portion thereof, whose address has theretofore been given to Tenant.

 

19.41 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

In connection with such Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building or on the Project, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the Common Areas and/or parking facilities, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building, provided that Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises is not materially and adversely affected. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent, except as specifically provided in this Lease. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations conducted in accordance with the foregoing, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from such Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations.

Landlord makes no representation that the Communication Equipment will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance (whether or not by reason of the installation or use of similar equipment by others on the roof of the Building) and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor.

 

(g) Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Communication Equipment, (ii) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to any laws or regulations in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Communication Equipment and comply with all precautions and safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, and (iii) pay for all necessary repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Communication Equipment.

Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s right to use such area shall be non-exclusive with the rights of Landlord and other tenants.

 

19.49 Waiver of Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, except as provided in Section 19.7 above, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable under any circumstances, for injury or damage to, or interference with, the other party’s business, including, but not limited to, loss of title to the Premises or any portion thereof, loss of profits, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case however occurring.

 

19.50 Reasonableness. Except for determinations expressly described as being in the sole or absolute discretion of the applicable party, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall unreasonably withhold or delay any consent, approval or other determination provided for hereunder. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder (other than a determination in the sole or absolute discretion of the determining party) and reasonably requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons in writing and in reasonable detail within ten (10) business days following such request. Furthermore, in addition to the foregoing, whenever the Lease grants Landlord or Tenant the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish rules and regulations, make allocations or other determinations, or otherwise exercise rights or fulfill obligations, Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith.
