5.        Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon execution hereof the security deposit set forth in paragraph 1.9 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount then required of Tenant.

Landlord shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general accounts. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof and after Tenant has vacated the Premises.

In the event it is determined that this warranty has been violated, than it shall be the obligation of the Landlord, after written notice from Tenant, to promptly, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation.

Tenant shall conduct its business in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit the use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to create waste or nuisance or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the Office Building Project.

 

6.3      Condition of Premises.

 

(a) Landlord will deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in its current “as-is” condition.

If the delay in possession is caused by Tenant, then the Term and Tenant’s obligation to pay rent will commence as of the Commencement Date even though Tenant does not yet have possession.

Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for consent hereunder in a timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease without the need for notice to Tenant under paragraph 13.1 “Transfer” within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include the transfer or transfers aggregating; (a) if Tenant is a corporation, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or (b) if Tenant is a partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the profit and loss participation in such partnership.

Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Tenant under the terms of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Tenant, the consent of whom shall not be necessary.

 

12.3    Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

 

(a) Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no assignment or subletting shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or after the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and other sums due Landlord hereunder included Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses Increase, and to perform all obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.

 

(b) Landlord may accept rent from anyone other than Tenant pending approval or disapproval or disapproval of such assignment.

 

(c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Landlord’s right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this paragraph 12 or this Lease.

 

(d) If Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Landlord’s consent thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such sublease and the terms thereof.

 

(e) The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Tenant or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the subtenant. However, Landlord may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or said sublease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent any such amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the Tenant or subtenant under this Lease or such sublease.

 

(f) In the event of any default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, any guarantors or any one else responsible for the performance of this Lease, including the subtenant, without first exhausting Landlord’s remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security held by Landlord or Tenant.

 

(g) Landlord’s written consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises by Tenant shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Tenant nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as may be otherwise stated by Landlord at the time.

 

10



 

(h) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Landlord in giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false shall, at Landlord’s election, render Landlord’s said consent null and void.

 

12.4    Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

 

(a) Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease heretofore or hereafter made by Tenant, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default shall occur in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such sublease to Landlord nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a subtenant, be deemed liable to the subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with any of Tenant’s obligations to such subtenant under such sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord the rents due and to become due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that such subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that such subtenant shall pay such rents to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against said subtenant or Landlord for any such rents so paid by said subtenant to Landlord.

 

(b) No sublease entered into by Tenant shall be effective unless and until it has been approved in writing by Landlord. In entering into any sublease, Tenant shall use only such form of subtenant as is satisfactory to Landlord, and once approved by Landlord, such sublease shall not be changed or modified without Landlord’s prior written consent. Any sublease shall, by reason of entering into a sublease under this Lease, be deemed, for the benefit of Landlord, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every obligation herein to be performed by Tenant other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions contained in a sublease to which Landlord has expressly consented in writing.

 

(c) In the event Tenant shall default in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require any subtenant to attorn to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the time to the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such subtenant to Tenant or for any other prior defaults of Tenant under such sublease.

 

(d) No subtenant shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent.

 

(e) With respect to any subletting to which Landlord has consented, Landlord agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Tenant to the subtenant. Such subtenant shall have the right to cure a default of Tenant within three (3) days after service of said notice of default upon such subtenant, and the subtenant shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Tenant for any such defaults cured by the subtenant.

 

12.5    Landlord’s Expenses. In the event Tenant shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting or if Tenant shall request the consent of Landlord for any act Tenant proposes to do then Tenant shall pay a minimum $250.00 consent fee in addition to Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys; architects; engineers’ or other consultants’ fees.

 

12.6    Conditions to Consent. Landlord reserves the right to condition any approval to assignee sublet upon Landlord’s determination that (a) the proposed assignee or subtenant shall conduct a business on the Premises of a quality substantially equal to that of Tenant and consistent with the general character of the other occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of any exclusives or rights then held by other tenants, and (b) the proposed assignee or subtenant be at least as financially responsible as Tenant was expected to be at the time of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment or subletting, whichever is greater.

 

13.      Default; Remedies.

 

13.1    Default. The occurrence of anyone or more of the following events shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Tenant:

 

(a) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Vacation of the Premises shall include the failure to occupy the Premises for a continuous period of fourteen (14) days or more, whether or not the rent is paid.

 

(b) The breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of paragraphs 7.3(a), (b) or (d) (alterations), 12.1 (assignment or subletting), 13.1 (a) (vacation or abandonment), 13. 1 (e) (insolvency), 13.1 (f) (false statement), 16 (a) (estoppel certificate), 30 (b) (subordination), 33 (auctions), or 41.1 (easements), all of which are hereby deemed to be material, non-curable defaults without the necessity of any notice by Landlord to Tenant thereof.

 

(c) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. In the

 

11



 

event Landlord serves Tenant with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes, such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by this subparagraph. Additionally, Tenant shall pay Landlord a $175.00 demand preparation fee each occurrence Landlord serves Tenant with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit.

 

(d) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant other than those referenced in subparagraphs (b) and (c), above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice there from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s noncompliance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default provided Tenant commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. To the extent permitted by law such thirty (30) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be given to Tenant under applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes.

 

(e) (i) The making by Tenant of any general arrangement or general assignment for the benefit of creditors: (ii) Tenant becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11U.S.C. 101 or any successor stature thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)days (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days: or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. In the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1 (e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

 

(f) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given to Landlord by Tenant, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Tenant’s obligation hereunder, was materially false.

 

13.2    Remedies. In the event of any material default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default:

 

(a) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney’s fees and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss from the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing commission paid by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.

 

(b) Maintain Tenant’s right to possession in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have vacated or abandoned the Premises. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

 

(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum rate then allowable by law.

 

13.3    Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required by Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed or trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

 

13.4    Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payments by Tenant to Landlord of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense Increase or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 10% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

 

14.      Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof or the Office Building Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so much of

 

12



 

the Premises or the Office Building Project are taken by such condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and profitability of Tenant’s business conducted from the Premises, Tenant shall have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice , within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense Increase shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the Premises. Common Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Tenant and no reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason thereof Landlord shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written notice to Tenant of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Office Building Project under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any separate award for loss of or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized tenant improvements that have been paid for by Tenant. For that purpose the cost of such improvements shall be amortized over the original term of this Lease excluding any options. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Landlord shall to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. Tenant shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

Tenant’s failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder without further notice to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact.

Additionally, and without any limitation by any of the foregoing, in the event that either Landlord or Tenant shall institute any action or proceeding (whether in the State Courts or in the United States Bankruptcy Court) against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease, or any default hereunder, the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to pay to the successful party the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein by the successful party.

56.      Tenant’s Performance Before Commencement. In the event that Tenant shall abandon the premises or fail to occupy the Premises and pay rent by the commencement of the term of this Lease, it is expressly agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that the amount of damage to Landlord as a result of that default and the termination of this Lease under this provision is difficult to calculate, and that Landlord, in addition to its other rights or remedies provided in Section 13 and not as liquidated damages or by way of forfeiture, shall be entitled to retain, at Landlord’s option, such improvements as Tenant may have annexed to the property that cannot be removed without damage thereto.

 

57.      Marginal Captions. The various headings and numbers herein and the grouping of the provisions of this Lease into separate sections and paragraphs are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not be considered a part hereof.

 

58.      Subordination, Attornment and Estoppel. This Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subordinate to the lien of any first deed of trust or first mortgage subsequently placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, as well as any reciprocal easement agreement now or hereafter recorded against the office building project and any amendments thereto, and Tenant shall execute any documents required by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee in this regard within ten (10) days of written request to do so and Tenant’s failure or refusal to do so shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder and Landlord may, without further notice to Tenant, declare the term hereof ended, and Landlord may at its option execute any such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead, to execute such documents, such appointment to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided, however, that as to the lien of any such deed of trust or mortgage, Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground Landlord shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

 

In the event any proceedings or brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall, at the new owner’s option, attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.

Tenant shall be liable for any loss or liability resulting from any incorrect information certified, and such mortgagee and purchaser shall have the right to rely on such estoppel certificate and financial statement. Tenant shall in the same manner acknowledge and execute any assignment of rights to receive rents as required by any mortgagee of Landlord. Should Tenant fail to provide such estoppel certificate, financial statement or assignment of rights within ten (10) days of the service on Tenant or a written request therefor, then it is agreed between the parties hereto that Landlord may suffer substantial damage as a result of Tenant’s failure and therefore Tenant shall pay to Landlord daily Additional Rental, in addition to all other rental due under this Lease, in an amount equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the Base Rent (as set forth in Section 4 hereof) for each day commencing on the eleventh (11th) day after service of the request for such estoppel certificate, financial statement or assignment of rights until the same is provided to Landlord, its mortgagee or purchaser. Said daily Additional Rental shall be due and payable daily for each day commencing on the eleventh (11th) day following the service of such request, and in default three (3) days after each such daily due date. In addition but without limitation of the foregoing, Landlord may at its option execute any such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, and Tenant does hereby appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead, to execute such documents, such appointment to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 

59.      Building Planning. In the event Landlord requires the Premises for use in conjunction with another suite or for other reasons connected with the Building planning program, upon notifying Tenant in writing, Landlord shall have the right to move Tenant to other space in the Building of which the Premises forms a part, at Landlord’s cost and expense, and the terms and conditions of the original lease shall remain in full force and effect, save and excepting that a revised Exhibit “A” shall become part of this Lease and shall reflect the location of the new space.

ADDENDUM TO LEASE

 

This Addendum to Lease (the “Addendum”) is entered into in connection with and as part of that certain lease, dated May 9, 2003, by and between AC-CATALINA LANDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and OBAGI MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the parties further agree as follows:

 

63.       Provided Tenant is not then in default under the Lease (in which event Tenant shall have no expansion rights under this Addendum, provided that in the case of a non-monetary default Tenant shall be deemed to be not in default for purposes of this Addendum if Tenant cures the default within five (5) days after written notice of the existence of the default), if Landlord decides that upon the expiration or other termination of any lease between Landlord and a third party for space on the first (1st) floor of the Building, Landlord will offer that space for lease to the general public (“Expansion Space”), Landlord shall state the terms and conditions on which Landlord is willing, in its sole discretion, to Lease the Expansion Space to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall act in good faith to retain in Landlord’s Notice as many of the non-economic provisions of this Lease as possible consistent with the economic provisions (e.g., rent, base year, parking concessions, moving allowances, and tenant improvement allowance) Landlord desires to include in or exclude from Landlord’s Notice. Tenant shall have five (5) business days after Landlord’s Notice is given within which to unconditionally agree to lease all (and not less than all) of the Expansion Space on all the terms contained in Landlord’s Notice. If Tenant duly exercises its rights under this Rider, the Expansion Space shall become part of the Premises as of the date on which Tenant shall first have the right to occupy that Expansion Space (“Expansion Space Commencement Date”). This Right of First Notice shall apply only during each six (6) month period after Tenant has given Landlord written notice requesting that Landlord give Tenant Landlord’s Notice in accordance with this Addendum.

 

If Tenant fails to duly exercise its rights under this Addendum within the above five business-day period, then all rights of Tenant to lease the Expansion Space identified in Landlord’s Notice under this Addendum shall automatically terminate and Landlord shall thereafter have no further obligation to notify Tenant of any proposal to lease the Expansion Space. Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease the Expansion Space to one or more third parties on any terms and conditions Landlord negotiates in its sole discretion, without further obligation to Tenant.

 

If Tenant duly exercises this Right of First Notice within the above five business-day period, then Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease (i) incorporating the Expansion Space into the Lease on the terms and conditions contained in Landlord’s Notice and (ii) adjusting Tenant’s share and rent accordingly. All other terms and conditions of the Lease (except as specified in the immediately preceding sentence, this Addendum, shall remain the same and in full effect. If Tenant fails to duly execute and return the lease amendment or any revised amendment, or submit reasonable written objections to the contents of the Lease amendment to Landlord within ten (10) days after it is delivered to Tenant for signature, this Right of First Notice and Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Notice shall automatically be void, any right accrued under this Right of First Notice shall be of no effect, and Landlord shall thereafter be free to unconditionally lease the Expansion Space to one or more third parties as set forth above.

 

This Right of First Notice shall not apply to (a) offers from any third parties to lease the Expansion Space, (b) leases or transfers among entities or persons related to Landlord (including, but not limited to, partners if Landlord is a partnership, and shareholders if Landlord is a corporation), 9(c) any proposed sale or purchase of the Building, including, without limitation, a proposed sale-and-leaseback of the Building, and (d) any space in the Building which is vacant as of the date of the Lease. In addition, this Right of First Notice is subject and subordinate to all now existing preferential rights to the Expansion Space granted to other tenants of the Office Building Project

 

This Right of First Notice is personal to Tenant. If Tenant transfers any of Tenant’s interest in the Lease before the permitted exercise of Tenant’s rights under this Right of First Notice, those rights shall not be transferred to any transferee but shall instead automatically lapse, and Landlord’s obligations under this Right of First Notice shall automatically terminate. This Right of First Notice shall automatically expire without notice on the expiration of the original Term or sooner termination of the Lease for any reason or upon any Transfer by Tenant of all or any part of Premises.

 

64.       Tenant has converted the area located adjacent to the south end of the Building and shown on attached Exhibit “G” as the area marked with diagonal lines (“South End Area”) into a reserved parking area for Tenant’s and Landlord’s exclusive use during the Term (“South End Parking”). Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to park one car in the South End Parking. Tenant’s use of the South End Area will not be subject to the monthly parking rate chargeable by Landlord. Tenant agrees that Tenant’s use of the South End Area shall comply with all of Landlord’s parking rules and regulations. All improvements constructed by Tenant in the South End Area or in connection with the South End Parking shall at all times be and remain the property of Landlord, provided that upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Landlord may require that Tenant immediately (a) restore the South End Area to its condition existing on the date of this Lease and (b) repair any damage caused to the Office Building Project or any other property during such restoration. Any future improvements which Landlord desires to complete to facilitate the joint parking arrangement between Landlord and Tenant shall be paid for by Landlord.

 

65.       Tenant shall receive a rent credit of Thirty-One Thousand Five Hundred & Sixty Dollars ($31,560); Twenty-One Thousand & Forty Dollars ($21,040) of which will be applied against Tenant’s August 2003 rental obligation with the remaining balance of Ten Thousand Five Hundred & Twenty Dollars ($10,520) to be applied against Tenant’s September 2003 rental obligation.

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT

 

In connection with the First Amendment to Standard Office Lease to which this Work Letter Agreement is attached (the “Amendment”), and in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1.                          COMPLETION SCHEDULE. Within ten (10) days after its execution of the Amendment, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, for Tenant’s review and approval, a schedule (the “Work Schedule”) setting forth a timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Paragraph 2 below) to be constructed in the Additional Premises based on a target Additional Premises Commencement Date of January 1, 1998 (“Target Additional Premises Commencement Date”). The Work Schedule shall set forth each of the various items of work to be done by or approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Improvements. The Work Schedule shall be submitted to Tenant for its approval and, upon approval by both Landlord and Tenant, Landlord and Tenant agree to comply with that Work Schedule, and it shall become the basis for the parties’ performance under this Agreement. If Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord Tenant’s written disapproval of the Work Schedule, as it may be modified after discussions between Landlord and Tenant, within seven (7) days after the date the Work Schedule is first received by Tenant, Landlord’s space planner for the Office Building Project shall determine the final Work Schedule in its sole, good faith judgment within ten (10) days after request by either Landlord or Tenant, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.

 

2.                          TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. “Tenant Improvements” shall include all work to be done and improvements installed in the Additional Premises by Landlord pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Plans (defined in Paragraph 3 below), including, but not limited to, partitioning, doors, ceilings, floor coverings, wall finishes (including paint and wallcovering), electrical (including lighting, switching, outlets, etc.), plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, fire protection, cabinets and other millwork. All Tenant Improvements and components thereof shall at all times be and remain the sole property of Landlord.

 

3.                          TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS. Within five (5) business days after execution of the Amendment, Tenant agrees to meet with Landlord’s architect or space planner for the purpose of promptly preparing a space plan (“Space Plan”). The Space Plan will provide a partition layout depicting the configuration of the Additional Premises. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord Tenant’s written disapproval of the Space Plan within five (5) business days after the date the Space Plan, or any revised Space Plan, is first received by Tenant, such failure shall constitute

 

EXHIBIT "B"

 



 

a Tenant Delay and the Commencement Date shall be accelerated one day for each day of such Tenant Delay. Within fifteen (15) business days after the Space Plan is approved by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), Landlord’s architect or space planner shall promptly prepare final working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements. Those working drawings and specifications are referred to herein as the “Tenant Improvement Plans” and shall be approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 5 below. The Tenant Improvement Plans must be consistent with Landlord’s standard specifications (the “Standards”) for tenant improvements for the Building, as the same may be changed from time to time by Landlord.

 

4.                          NON-STANDARD TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall permit Tenant to deviate from the Standards for the Tenant Improvements provided that (a) the deviations shall not be of a lesser quality than the Standards; (b) the total lighting for the Additional Premises shall comply with the provisions of Title 24 of the California Administrative Code; (c) the deviations conform to applicable governmental regulations, and necessary governmental permits and approvals have been secured; (d) the deviations do not require building service beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Building and do not overload the weight-bearing capacity of the floors; (e) the deviations will not delay completion of the Tenant Improvements unless Tenant agrees that any such delay will constitute a Tenant Delay; and (f) Landlord has determined in its sole discretion that the deviations are of a nature and quality that are consistent with the overall objectives of the Landlord for the Building.

 

5.                          FINAL PRICING AND DRAWING SCHEDULE. After preparation by Landlord’s architect or space planner, the Tenant Improvement Plans shall be submitted to Tenant for approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord Tenant’s written disapproval of the Tenant Improvement Plans, or any revised Tenant Improvement Plans, within five (5) days after the date the Tenant Improvement Plans, or any revised Tenant Improvement Plans, are received by Tenant, such failure shall constitute a Tenant Delay and the Commencement Date shall be accelerated one day for each day of such Tenant Delay. If the Tenant Improvement Plans, or any revised Tenant Improvement Plans, are timely disapproved by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a written explanation of the reason(s) for such disapproval concurrently with that disapproval, and the Tenant Improvement Plans shall be revised and resubmitted to Tenant for approval. If Tenant fails to provide a written explanation as and when required by this Paragraph, such failure shall constitute a Tenant Delay and the Commencement Date shall be accelerated one day for each day of such Tenant Delay. Within five (5) days after the Tenant Improvement Plans are so approved by Tenant, the Tenant Improvement Plans shall be submitted to the appropriate

 

EXHIBIT "B"

 



 

governmental body by Landlord for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit. Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any proposed Tenant Improvements which Landlord reasonably believes will adversely affect the Building or any Building systems. Landlord, with Tenant’s cooperation, shall cause to be made to the Tenant Improvement Plans any changes necessary to obtain the building permit and to comply with the requirements of the Police and Fire Departments of the City of Long Beach. Concurrently with the plan checking, Landlord shall have prepared a final pricing for Tenant’s approval in accordance with the Work Schedule, taking into account any modifications which may be required to reflect changes in the Tenant Improvement Plans required by the City of Long Beach or other agencies. Landlord shall have the option to increase or decrease the final pricing, before or after Tenant approves the final pricing, to reflect changes in the cost of performing the Tenant Improvements caused by plan modifications required by the City of Long Beach or other agencies. After final approval of the Tenant Improvement Plans no further changes may be made thereto without the prior written approval from both Landlord and Tenant, and then only after agreement by Tenant to pay any excess costs resulting from the design or construction of such changes. Tenant acknowledges that any such changes shall be subject to the terms of Paragraph 8 below.

 

6.                          CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. After a building permit for the Tenant Improvements has been issued, Landlord shall cause its contractor to begin installation of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Tenant Improvement Plans. Landlord shall supervise the completion of such work and shall use its best efforts to secure substantial completion of the work in accordance with the Work Schedule. The cost of such work shall be paid as provided in Paragraph 7 below. Landlord shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages as a result of delays in construction beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, inability to secure governmental approvals or permits, governmental restrictions, strikes, lack of availability of materials or labor, or delays by Tenant (or its architect or anyone performing services on behalf of Tenant).

 

7.                          PAYMENT FOR THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

 

(a)                      Landlord grants to Tenant a “Tenant Improvement Allowance” of Nine and 00/100 Dollars ($9.00) per Rentable Square Foot of the Additional Premises.

(a)                      Tenant’s failure to approve any item or perform any other obligation in accordance with and by the date specified in the Work Schedule;

 

(b)                     Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations other than those readily available, whether or not approved by Landlord or reflected in the Tenant Improvement Plans;

 

(c)                      Tenant’s changes in the Tenant Improvement Plans after Tenant approves the Tenant Improvement Plans;

 

(d)                     Tenant’s request to deviate from the Standards for the Building; or

 

(e)                      Tenant’s failure to timely make any payment due from Tenant under this Work Letter Agreement or the Lease;

 

then, as provided for in the Lease, the commencement of the Term shall be accelerated by the number of days of such delay. The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed substantially complete notwithstanding the fact that minor items of the Tenant Improvements (such as construction, mechanical adjustments, or decorations) which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Additional Premises remain to be performed (items normally referred to as “punch list” items), which items Landlord shall promptly complete or correct.
