ARTICLE 2 DEMISE, CONSTRUCTION, AND ACCEPTANCE

 

2.1                                 Demise of Premises:  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, for the Lease Term upon the terms and conditions of this Lease, the Premises, together with (i) the non-exclusive right to use Tenant’s Allocated Parking Stalls within the Common Area (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.5), and (ii) the non-exclusive right to use the Common Area for ingress to and egress from the Premises and for the purposes for which such areas have been designated.  Landlord reserves the use of the exterior walls, the roof and the area beneath and above the Premises, together with the right to install, maintain, use, and replace ducts, wires, conduits and pipes leading through the Premises in locations which will not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

 

2.2                                 Commencement Date:  The “Commencement Date” shall mean the later of (a) the date the “Tenant Improvements” and the “Exterior Work” have been “Substantially Completed” (as such terms are defined in Exhibit B attached hereto), and (b) October 1, 2003.  The Scheduled Commencement Date is an estimate of the actual Commencement Date.

 

2.3                                 Construction of Improvements:  Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the terms of Exhibit B.

 

2.4                                 Delivery and Acceptance of Possession:  If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Scheduled Commencement Date for any reason whatsoever, then this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided in this paragraph, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom.  If the delay in delivery is due to any Tenant Delay (as defined in Exhibit B) , then Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed (for the purposes of calculating the Commencement Date) to be the date the Tenant Improvements would have been Substantially Completed but for such Tenant Delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date does not occur within 90 days after the Scheduled Commencement Date, which date is not subject to extension due to Force Majeure Delays (as that term is defined in Exhibit B), then Tenant (if the delay was not due to a Tenant Delay), as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to

 

5



 

Landlord within ten (10) days after the earlier of (i) notice from Landlord that there will be a delay beyond said 90-day time period, or (ii) end of said time period.

 

Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall together execute an acceptance agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C, appropriately completed.  The failure of Landlord or Tenant to execute such acceptance agreement shall not delay the Commencement Date.

 

2.5                                 Early Occupancy:  Tenant shall have access to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date to make arrangements for Tenant’s move into the Premises and to install fixtures, supplies, inventory and other property. Tenant agrees that it shall not interfere with the progress of Landlord’s work by such entry. During the course of any pre-term possession, all terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply, except for the payment of Rent and the start of the Commencement Date.  If such access is interfering with the construction of the Tenant Improvements as determined by Landlord’s general contractor, then Tenant agrees to discontinue the activities that is causing the interference or vacate the Premises.

 

ARTICLE 3 RENT

 

3.1                                 Base Monthly Rent:  Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Monthly Rent set forth in Section K of the Summary.

 

3.2                                 Additional Rent:  Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay the following as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”): (i) any late charges or interest due Landlord pursuant to Section 3.4; (ii) Landlord’s share of any Subrent received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by Section 14.1; (iii) any legal fees and costs due Landlord pursuant to Section 15.9; and (iv) any other charges due Landlord pursuant to this Lease.  This Lease is intended to be a “gross lease,” and all charges for common area costs, maintenance costs, insurance costs and real estate taxes are included in Base Monthly Rent, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein.

 

3.3                                 Payment of Rent:  Prior to the first day of the thirteenth full month of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in Section L of the Summary as prepayment of rent, for credit against the Base Monthly Rent due for the thirteenth month of the Lease Term.  The term “Rent” or “rent” shall mean Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent.  All rent required to be paid in monthly installments shall be paid in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term.  All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, deduction or offset whatsoever (except as specifically provided in Sections 10.1, 11.4 or 12.3), and without any prior demand therefor.  Rent shall be paid to Landlord at its address set forth in Section Q of the Summary, or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time in writing.  Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly shall be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term.

 

3.4                                 Late Charge, Interest and Quarterly Payments:

 

(a)                                  Late Charge.  Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any installment of rent, or any other sum of money required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix.  Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, administrative and collection costs, and processing and accounting expenses and other costs and expenses necessary and incidental thereto.  If any Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant when due such payment is due, then upon three (3) day’s advance notice to Tenant, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 10% of such delinquent rent as liquidated damages for Tenant’s failure to make timely payment.  In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rent or prevent Landlord from exercising

 

6



 

any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay any rent due under this Lease in a timely fashion, including any right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 13.2B.

 

(b)                                 Interest.  If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of five (5) days following written notice to Tenant, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not paid when due at the Agreed Interest Rate following the date such amount became due until paid.

 

(c)                                  [intentionally omitted]

 

3.5                                 Security Deposit:  [intentionally omitted]

 

3.6                                 Electronic Payment. [intentionally omitted]

 

ARTICLE 4 USE OF PREMISES

 

4.1                                 Limitation on Use:  Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use specified in Section N of the Summary.  There shall not be any change in use without the prior written consent of Landlord which will not be unreasonably withheld.  Tenant shall not do anything in or about the Premises which will (i) cause structural injury to the Building, or (ii) cause damage to any part of the Building except to the extent reasonably necessary for the installation of Tenant’s Trade Fixtures and Tenant’s Alterations, and then only in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Lease.  Tenant shall not operate any equipment within the Premises which will (i) materially damage the Building or the Common Area, (ii) overload existing electrical systems or other mechanical equipment servicing the Building, (iii) impair the efficient operation of the sprinkler system or the heating, ventilating or air conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment within or servicing the Building, or (iv) damage, overload or corrode the sanitary sewer system.  Tenant shall not set any load on the floor in excess of the load limits for which such items are designed.  Any dust, fumes, or waste products generated by Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be contained and  disposed so that they do not (i) create an unreasonable fire or health hazard, (ii) damage the Premises, or (iii) result in the violation of any Law.  Except as approved by Landlord, Tenant shall not change the exterior of the Building or install any equipment or antennas on or make any penetrations of the exterior or roof of the Building.  Tenant shall not commit any waste in or about the Premises, and Tenant shall keep the Premises in a neat, clean, attractive and orderly condition, free of any nuisances.  If Landlord designates a standard window covering for use throughout the Building, Tenant shall use this standard window covering to cover all windows in the Premises.  Tenant shall not conduct on any portion of the Premises or the Project any public or private auction, fire sale, going-out-of-business sale, distress sale or other liquidation sale.

 

4.2                                 Compliance with Regulations:  Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner which violates any Laws or Private Restrictions which affect the Premises.  Tenant shall abide by and promptly observe and comply with all Laws and Private Restrictions.  Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner which will cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering Tenant’s Alterations or any improvements installed by Landlord at its expense or which poses an unreasonable risk of damage or injury to the Premises.  Tenant shall not sell, or permit to be kept, used, or sold in or about the Premises any article which is prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy.  Tenant shall comply with all reasonable requirements of any insurance company, insurance underwriter, or Board of Fire Underwriters which are necessary to maintain the insurance coverage carried by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for compliance with any Laws where such compliance is not related specifically to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, including without limitation the construction of any Tenant Alteration.  For example, if any governmental authority should require any portion of the Project or the Premises to be structurally strengthened against earthquake, or should require the removal of Hazardous Materials from the Premises and such measures are imposed as a

 

7



 

general requirement applicable to all tenants rather than as a condition to Tenant’s specific use or occupancy of the Premises, such work shall be performed by and at the sole cost of Landlord.

 

4.3                                 Outside Areas:  No materials, supplies, tanks or containers, equipment, finished products or semi-finished products, raw materials, inoperable vehicles or articles of any nature shall be stored upon or permitted to remain outside of the Premises except in outside the Building which have been designed for such purpose by Landlord for such use by Tenant.

 

4.4                                 Signs:  Tenant shall be entitled to have one sign identifying Tenant’s name on the Building and on its name listed on the monument sign for the Building, provided each such sign is permitted and in conformity with all Laws and Private Restrictions then in effect and the design, size and quality of such signs are approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  Such signage shall be installed at the expense of Landlord as a Tenant Improvement pursuant to Exhibit B.  At its expense, Tenant shall maintain such signs in good condition and repair and shall be obligated to remove the sign on the Building at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.  Except as provided above, Tenant shall not be entitled to any other signage at the Building or Project.

 

4.5                                 Parking:  Tenant is allocated and shall have the non-exclusive right to use not more than the number of Tenant’s Allocated Parking Stalls contained within the Project described in Section H of the Summary for its use and the use of Tenant’s Agents.  Tenant shall not at any time use more parking spaces than the number so allocated to Tenant or park its vehicles or the vehicles of others in any portion of the Project not designated by Landlord as a non-exclusive parking area.  If Landlord grants to any other tenant the exclusive right to use any particular parking space(s), Tenant shall not use such spaces.  Landlord reserves the right, after having given Tenant reasonable notice, to have any vehicles owned by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents utilizing parking spaces in excess of the parking spaces allowed for Tenant’s use to be towed away at Tenant’s cost.  All trucks and delivery vehicles shall be (i) parked at the rear of the Building, (ii) loaded and unloaded in a manner which does not interfere with the businesses of other occupants of the Project, and (iii) permitted to remain on the Project only so long as is reasonably necessary to complete loading and unloading.  In the event Landlord elects or is required by any Law to limit or control parking in the Project, whether by validation of parking tickets or any other method of assessment, Tenant agrees to participate in such validation or assessment program under such reasonable rules and regulations as are from time to time established by Landlord.

 

4.6                                 Rules and Regulations:  Landlord may from time to time promulgate reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations applicable to all occupants of the Project for the care and orderly management of the Project and the safety of its tenants and invitees.  Such rules and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy thereof to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to abide by such rules and regulations.  If there is a conflict between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail.  Landlord shall not be responsible for the violation by any other tenant of the Project of any such rules and regulations; provided, however, that Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to require compliance by other tenants with such rules and regulations, but such efforts shall not require Landlord to terminate any lease or commence any litigation or arbitration proceeding.

 

ARTICLE 5 TRADE FIXTURES AND ALTERATIONS

 

5.1                                 Trade Fixtures:  Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant may provide and install, and shall maintain in good condition, any Trade Fixtures required in the conduct of its business in the Premises, except to the extent (a) any Trade Fixture will use, generate, store or dispose of any Hazardous Material in which case the installation of such Trade Fixtures shall be in compliance with the provisions of Article 7, or (b) any Trade Fixture will constitute a Tenant Alteration, in which case it shall be subject to the requirements set forth below for the construction of a Tenant Alteration, including, without limitation, the prior written consent of Landlord, if required.  All Trade Fixtures shall remain Tenant’s property.

5.2                                 Tenant’s Alterations:  Construction by Tenant of a Tenant Alteration shall be governed by the following:

 

A.                                   Consent Required.  Tenant shall not construct any Tenant’s Alterations or otherwise alter the Premises without Landlord’s prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld unless such Tenant Alteration affects areas outside of the Premises or the exterior of the Building or the structural parts of the Building, in which case Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Tenant Alteration to the interior of the Premises that complies with the following requirements: (a) is cosmetic in nature such as painting; or (b)(i) does not affect the roof or any area outside of the Premises; (ii) does not adversely affect the structural parts of the Building or electrical, plumbing, HVAC or mechanical systems in the Building or servicing the Premises, or the sprinkler or other life safety system; and (iii) costs less than the Permitted Tenant Alterations Limit specified in Section O of the Summary per work of improvement and in the aggregate for all of such Alterations during a calendar year (herein referred to as “Minor Alteration”). Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior written notice of any Minor Alteration that requires a building permit.  In the event Landlord’s approval for any Tenant’s Alterations is required, Tenant shall not construct the Tenant Alteration until Landlord has approved in writing the plans and specifications therefor, and such Tenant’s Alterations shall be constructed substantially in compliance with such approved plans and specifications.  All Tenant’s Alterations constructed by Tenant shall be constructed by a licensed contractor reasonably approved by Landlord in accordance with all Laws using new materials of good quality.

12



 

Any such Hazardous Materials Usage may only be to the extent of the quantities of Hazardous Materials as specified in the then applicable Hazardous Material Disclosure Certificate or as expressly approved by Landlord.  Any Hazardous Material Usage of Hazardous Materials by Tenant and Tenant’s Agents after the Effective Date in or about the Project shall strictly comply with all applicable laws, including all Hazardous Materials Laws now or hereinafter enacted.  Tenant agrees that any changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the most recent approved Hazardous Material Disclosure Certificate may be implemented only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.  Tenant shall not be entitled nor permitted to install any tanks under, on or about the Premises or Project for the storage of Hazardous Materials without the express written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

D.                                    Notice.  Tenant shall give to Landlord immediate verbal and follow-up written notice of any spills, releases, discharges, disposals, emissions, migrations, removals or transportation of Hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion of the Premises, Common Areas or Project by Tenant; provided that Tenant has actual knowledge of such event(s).  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, covenants and warrants to promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore and otherwise remediate (including, without limitation, preparation of any feasibility studies or reports and the performance of any and all closures) any spill, release, discharge, disposal, emission, migration or transportation or other Hazardous Material Usage of Hazardous Materials arising from or related to the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents such that the affected portions of the Project and any adjacent property are returned to the condition existing prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials, if commercially feasible, but in any event in compliance with all applicable Laws.  Any such work shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord in its good faith discretion.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall conduct and perform, or cause to be conducted and performed, all closures as required by any Hazardous Materials Laws or any agencies or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof relating to Tenant’s or its Agent’s use of the Premises prior to the expiration of the Lease Term.  If Tenant fails to so promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore, provide closure or otherwise so remediate, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, take any and all steps necessary to rectify the same and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for all costs and expenses to Landlord of performing investigation, clean up, removal, restoration, closure and remediation work.  All such work undertaken by Tenant, as required herein, shall be performed in such a manner so as to enable Landlord to make full economic use of the Premises and the other portions of the Project after the satisfactory completion of such work.

G.                                     Survival.  The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 7.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.  The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to issues relating to Hazardous Materials are exclusively established by this Section 7.2.  In the event of any inconsistency between any other part of this Lease and this Section 7.2, the terms of this Section 7.2 shall control.

ARTICLE 9 INSURANCE

 

9.1                                 Tenant’s Insurance:  Tenant shall maintain insurance complying with all of the following:

 

A.                                   Types.  Tenant shall procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect the following:

 

(1)  Commercial general liability insurance, including property damage, against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property occurring in or about, or resulting from an occurrence in or about, the Premises with combined single limit coverage of not less than the amount of Tenant’s Liability Insurance Minimum specified in Section P of the Summary, which insurance shall contain a “contractual liability” endorsement insuring Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s obligation to indemnify Landlord contained in Section 10.3;

 

15



 

(2)  Fire and property damage insurance in so-called “all risk” form insuring Tenant’s Trade Fixtures and Tenant’s Alterations for the full actual replacement cost thereof;

 

(3)  Business interruption insurance with limits of liability representing at least approximately six months of income, business auto liability covering owned, non-owned and hired vehicles with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident, insurance protecting against liability under workers’ compensation laws with limits at least as required by statute, insurance for all plate glass in the Premises, and such other insurance that is either (i) required by any Lender, or (ii) reasonably required by Landlord and customarily carried by tenants of similar property in similar businesses.

 

B.                                     Requirements.  Where applicable and required by Landlord, each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.1: (i) shall name Landlord and such other parties in interest as Landlord reasonably designates as additional insured; (ii) shall be primary insurance which provides that the insurer shall be liable for the full amount of the loss up to and including the total amount of liability set forth in the declarations without the right of contribution from any other insurance coverage of Landlord; (iii) issued by a carrier in each case having a rating in “Best’s Insurance Reports” as issued from time to time of not less than A-, VII; (iv) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation except after at least 30 days prior written notice to Landlord so long as such provision of 30 days notice is reasonably obtainable, but in any event not less than 10 days prior written notice; (v) shall not have a “deductible” in excess of a deductible that Tenant has at other comparable leased properties or otherwise consistent with its normal risk management practice; (vi) shall contain a cross liability endorsement; and (vii) shall contain a “severability” clause.  If Tenant has in full force and effect a blanket policy of liability insurance with the same coverage for the Premises as described above, as well as other coverage of other premises and properties of Tenant, or in which Tenant has some interest, such blanket insurance shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 9.1.

 

C.                                     Evidence.  A copy of each paid-up policy evidencing the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.1 (appropriately authenticated by the insurer) or a certificate of the insurer, certifying that such policy has been issued, providing the coverage required by this Section 9.1, and containing the provisions specified herein, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the time Tenant or any of its Agents enters the Premises and upon renewal of such policies, but not less than 5 days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage.  Landlord may, at any time, and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance policies required to be procured by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.1. If any Lender or insurance advisor reasonably determines at any time that the amount of coverage required for any policy of insurance Tenant is to obtain pursuant to this Section 9.1 is not adequate, then Tenant shall increase such coverage for such insurance to such amount as such Lender or insurance advisor reasonably deems adequate, not to exceed the level of coverage for such insurance commonly carried by comparable businesses similarly situated.

 

9.2                                 Landlord’s Insurance:  Landlord shall have the following obligations and options regarding insurance:

 

A.                                   Property Damage.  Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in so-called “all risk” form insuring Landlord (and such others as Landlord may designate) against loss of rents for a period of not less than 12 months and from physical damage to the Project with coverage of not less than the full replacement cost thereof.  Landlord may so insure the Project separately, or may insure the Project with other property owned by Landlord which Landlord elects to insure together under the same policy or policies. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole and absolute discretion, to obtain insurance for such additional perils as Landlord deems appropriate, including, without limitation, coverage for damage by earthquake and/or flood.  All such coverage shall contain “deductibles” which Landlord deems appropriate, which in the case of earthquake and flood insurance, may be up to 10% of the replacement value of the property insured or such higher amount as is then commercially reasonable.

C.                                     Tenant’s Obligation to Reimburse:  If Landlord’s insurance rates for the Building are increased at any time during the Lease Term as a result of the nature of Tenant’s use of the Premises, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the full amount of such increase immediately upon receipt of a bill from Landlord therefor.

 

9.3                                 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation:  Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights for recovery against each other for any loss of or damage to the property of either party, where such loss or damage is insured by any insurance policy required to be maintained by this Lease or otherwise in force at the time of such loss or damage.  Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by the insurer, whereby the insurer waives its right of subrogation against the other party hereto.  The portions of this Section shall not apply in those instances in which a waiver of subrogation would cause either party’s insurance coverage to be voided or otherwise made uncollectible.

Landlord agrees to accept counsel that any insurer requires be used), from all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action, claims and/or judgments arising by reason of any death, bodily injury, personal injury or property damage resulting from (i) any cause or causes whatsoever (other than the willful misconduct or negligence of Landlord or the breach by Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease) occurring in or about or resulting from an occurrence in or about the Premises during the Lease Term, or (ii) an Event of Tenant’s Default.  The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 11 DAMAGE TO PREMISES

 

11.1                           Landlord’s Duty to Restore:  If the Premises are damaged by any peril after the Effective Date, Landlord shall restore the Premises unless the Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 11.2 or by Tenant pursuant to Section 11.3.  All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord.  If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, then all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which covers loss to property that is Landlord’s property or would become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord.  If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered by insurance) and the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition in which the Premises were immediately prior to such damage.  If Landlord is not able to commence restoration of the Premises by 120 days following the date of destruction, either because of a failure to receive insurance proceeds or necessary permits, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions of 11.3.  Landlord’s obligation to restore shall be limited to the Premises and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant’s Alterations, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by Tenant in the Premises.  Tenant shall be responsible for any necessary repair of Tenant’s Alterations and/or Trade Fixtures installed by Tenant.

 

11.2                           Landlord’s Right to Terminate:  Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate within 30 days after the date of such damage:

 

A.                                   Damage From Insured Peril.  Either the Premises or the Building is damaged by an Insured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 66% of the then actual replacement cost thereof;

 

B.                                     Damage From Uninsured Peril.  Either the Premises or the Building is damaged by an Uninsured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds 10% of the then actual replacement cost thereof and Landlord does not commence restoration of the Building within 120 days from the date of the casualty; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2B if one or more tenants of the Project agree in writing to pay the amount by which the cost to restore the damage exceeds such amount and subsequently deposit such amount with Landlord within 30 days after Landlord has notified Tenant of its election to terminate this Lease;

 

C.                                     Damage Near End of Term.  The Premises are damaged by any peril within 12 months of the last day of the Lease Term to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore equals or exceeds an amount equal to six times the Base Monthly Rent then due; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2C if Tenant, at the time of such damage, has a then valid express written option to extend the Lease Term and Tenant exercises such option to extend the Lease Term, after notice from Landlord, within 15 days following the date of such damage; or

 

18



 

D.                                    Restrictions on Restoration.  Either the Premises or the Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the Laws then in force, (i) cannot be restored at reasonable cost to substantially the same condition in which it was prior to such damage, or (ii) cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage if restored as required by this Article.

 

E.                                      Defined Terms.  As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) the term “Insured Peril” shall mean a peril required to be insured against pursuant to the terms of this Lease or actually insured against by Landlord, pursuant to which the insurance proceeds are sufficient to restore, except for the deductible in the under the applicable property damage policy and except for the deductible of not more than 10% of the replacement cost of the Building in a policy for damage by earthquake; and (ii) the term “Uninsured Peril” shall mean any peril which is not an Insured Peril.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the “deductible” for earthquake or flood insurance exceeds 10% of the replacement cost of the improvements insured, such peril shall be deemed an “Uninsured Peril” affording Landlord the right to terminate under Section 11.2B, unless Landlord proceeds with restoration of the Building within 120 days after the date of the damage by earthquake.

 

11.3                           Tenant’s Right to Terminate:  If the Premises are damaged by any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 11.2, then as soon as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be completed.  Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to terminate within 10 days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration.

 

A.                                   Major Damage.  The Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially completed within 120 days after the date of such damage; or

 

B.                                     Damage Near End of Term.  The Premises are damaged by any peril within 12 months of the last day of the Lease Term and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially completed within 60 days after the date of such damage.

 

11.4                           Abatement of Rent:  In the event of damage to the Premises which does not result in the termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent shall be temporarily abated from the date of damage until restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired by such damage.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of Tenant’s business or property or for any inconvenience or annoyance caused by such damage or restoration except as otherwise provided in this Lease.  Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.

 

ARTICLE 12 CONDEMNATION

 

12.1                           Landlord’s Termination Right:  Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if, as a result of a taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to a condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) all or any part of the Premises is so taken, (ii) more than 10% of the Building Leasable Area is so taken, or (iii) more than 50% of the Common Area is so taken.  Any such right to terminate by Landlord must be exercised within a reasonable period of time, to be effective as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor.

 

19



 

12.2                           Tenant’s Termination Right:  Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if, as a result of any taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including any voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor under threat of condemnation), (i) 10% or more of the Premises is so taken and that part of the Premises that remains cannot be restored within a reasonable period of time and thereby made reasonably suitable for the continued operation of the Tenant’s business, or (ii) there is a taking affecting the Common Area and, as a result of such taking, Landlord cannot provide parking spaces within reasonable walking distance of the Premises equal in number to at least 80% of the number of spaces allocated to Tenant by Section 2.1, whether by rearrangement of the remaining parking areas in the Common Area (including construction of multi-deck parking structures or re-striping for compact cars where permitted by Law) or by alternative parking facilities on other land.  Tenant must exercise such right within a reasonable period of time, to be effective on the date that possession of that portion of the Premises or Common Area that is condemned is taken by the condemnor.

 

12.3                           Restoration and Abatement of Rent:  If any part of the Premises or the Common Area is taken by condemnation and this Lease is not terminated, then Landlord shall restore the remaining portion of the Premises and Common Area and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the Commencement Date, excluding any Tenant’s Alterations, Trade Fixtures and/or personal property constructed or installed by Tenant.  Thereafter, except in the case of a temporary taking, as of the date possession is taken the Base Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of that part of the Premises so taken (less any addition thereto by reason of any reconstruction) bears to the original floor area of the Premises or by an amount reasonably calculated to compensate Tenant for the decrement in use of the Common Area.

 

12.4                           Temporary Taking:  If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken for one year or less, this Lease shall remain in effect, but only if such taking does not materially adversely affect Tenant’s ability to use the Premises.  If any portion of the Premises is temporarily taken by condemnation for a period which exceeds one year or which extends beyond the natural expiration of the Lease Term, and such taking materially and adversely affects Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for the Permitted Use, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective on the date possession is taken by the condemnor.

 

12.5                           Division of Condemnation Award:  Any award made as a result of any condemnation of the Premises or the Common Area shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such award; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any condemnation award that is made directly to Tenant for the following so long as the award made to Landlord is not thereby reduced: (i) for the taking of personal property or Trade Fixtures belonging to Tenant, (ii) for the interruption of Tenant’s business or its moving costs, (iii) for loss of Tenant’s goodwill; or (iv) for any temporary taking where this Lease is not terminated as a result of such taking.  The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any condemnation shall be determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

 

ARTICLE 13 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

E.                                      Insolvency.  The occurrence of the following: (i) the making by Tenant of any general arrangements or assignments for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant becomes a “debtor” as defined in 11 USC §101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within 90 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 60 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 60 days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this Section 13.1E is contrary to any applicable Law, such provision shall be of no force or effect; or

 

F.                                      Required Documents.  Tenant shall have failed to deliver documents required of it pursuant to ¶15.4 or ¶15.6 within the time periods specified therein.

 

Any written notice of default sent by Landlord to Tenant shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any termination notice required under applicable statutory or regulatory provisions (and no further notice shall be required should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease as set forth below).

 

13.2                           Landlord’s Remedies:  If an Event of Tenant’s Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by any Law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:

Should Landlord not terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under the Lease as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4.

21



 

C.                                     Terminate.  Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination in such notice.  Any termination under this Section 13.2C shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay sums then due Landlord or from any claim against Tenant for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing.  In no event shall any one or more of the following actions  by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease: (i) appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s interest hereunder; (ii) consent to any subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or (iii) any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant to relet the Premises or any portions thereof to the extent such actions do not affect a termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.

E.                                      Damages.  In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to damages in an amount as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 as in effect on the Effective Date.  For purposes of computing damages pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2, (i) an interest rate equal to the Agreed Interest Rate shall be used where permitted, and (ii) the term “rent” includes Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent.  Such damages shall include:

 

(1)                                  The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, 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%); and

 

(2)                                  Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises; (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions; (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Premises; and (vi) attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in retaking possession of the Premises and in releasing the Premises or otherwise incurred as a result of Tenant’s default.

 

F.                                      Non Exclusive Remedies.  Nothing in this Section 13.2 shall limit Landlord’s right to indemnification from Tenant as provided in Section 7.2 and Section 10.3.  Any notice given by Landlord in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 13.1A or Section 13.1B above shall also satisfy the notice requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer proceedings.

 

13.3                           Waiver:  One party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the first party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the first party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party.  The receipt by Landlord of any rent or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord.  No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such

 

22



 

right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring.  The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other provisions herein contained.

13.5                           Waiver by Tenant of Certain Remedies:  Tenant waives the provisions of Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar or successor law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease.  Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under the law of the State of California or under any other present or future law, including the provisions of Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

 

ARTICLE 14 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

14.1                           Transfer By Tenant:  The following provisions shall apply to any assignment, subletting or other transfer by Tenant or any subtenant or assignee or other successor in interest of the original Tenant (collectively referred to in this Section 14.1 as “Tenant”):

 

A.                                   Transfer.  Tenant shall not do any of the following (collectively referred to herein as a “Transfer”), whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (i) sublet all or any part of the Premises or allow it to be sublet, occupied or used by any person or entity other than Tenant; (ii) assign its interest in this Lease; (iii) mortgage or encumber the Lease (or otherwise use the Lease as a security device) in any manner; or (iv) materially amend or modify an assignment, sublease or other transfer that has been previously approved by Landlord.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the evaluation, processing, and/or documentation of any requested Transfer, whether or not Landlord’s consent is granted, but not to exceed $1,000.00 without Tenant’s prior consent.  Landlord’s reasonable costs shall include the cost of any review or investigation performed by Landlord or consultant acting on Landlord’s behalf of (i) Hazardous Materials used, stored, released, or disposed of by the potential Subtenant or Assignee, and/or (ii) violations of Hazardous Materials Law by the Tenant or the proposed Subtenant or Assignee.  Any Transfer so approved by Landlord shall not be effective until Tenant has delivered to Landlord an executed counterpart of the document evidencing the Transfer which (i) contains the same terms and conditions as stated in Tenant’s notice given to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1B, and (ii) in the case of an assignment of the Lease, contains the agreement of the proposed transferee to assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease arising after the effective date of such Transfer and to remain jointly and severally liable therefor with Tenant.  Any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s consent shall constitute an Event of Tenant’s Default and shall be voidable at Landlord’s option.  Landlord’s consent to any one Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 14.1 as to any subsequent Transfer or a consent to any subsequent Transfer.  No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease nor to be a consent to any Transfer.

 

B.                                     Procedure.  At least 20 days before a proposed Transfer is to become effective, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the proposed terms of such Transfer and request Landlord’s approval, which notice shall include the following: (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee; (ii) a current financial statement of the transferee, financial statements of the transferee covering the preceding three years if the same exist, and (if available) an audited financial statement of the transferee for a period ending not more than one year prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer; (iii) the nature of the proposed transferee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (iv) all consideration to be given on account of the

 

23



 

Transfer; and (v) an accurately filled out response to Landlord’s standard hazardous materials questionnaire.  Tenant shall provide to Landlord such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord within five days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant.  Landlord shall respond in writing to Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer within the later of (i) 20 days of receipt of such request together with the required accompanying documentation, or (ii) 5 days after Landlord’s receipt of all information which Landlord reasonably requests within five days after it receives Tenant’s first notice regarding the Transfer in question.  If Landlord fails to respond in writing within said period, Tenant may provide a second written notice to Landlord requesting such consent and if Landlord fails to respond within 7 days after receipt of such second notice, then Landlord will be deemed to have consented to such Transfer.  Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer, which shall also be subject Landlord’s consent in accordance with the same process for obtaining Landlord’s initial consent to such Transfer.

 

C.                                     Intentionally Deleted.

 

D.                                    Other Requirements.  If Landlord consents to a Transfer proposed by Tenant, Tenant may enter into such Transfer, and if Tenant does so, the following shall apply:

 

(1)                                  Tenant shall not be released of its liability for the performance of all of its obligations under the Lease.

 

(2)                                  If Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of all Subrent (as defined in ¶14.1D(5)) received by Tenant over and above (i) the assignee’s agreement to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) all Permitted Transfer Costs related to such assignment.  In the case of assignment, the amount of Subrent owed to Landlord shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such Subrent is paid to Tenant by the assignee.  All Permitted Transfer Costs shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the term of such sublease (including any extension options) for purposes of calculating the amount due Landlord hereunder.

 

(3)                                  If Tenant sublets any part of the Premises, then with respect to the space so subleased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of the positive difference, if any, between (i) all Subrent paid by the subtenant to Tenant, less (ii) the sum of all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent allocable to the space sublet and all Permitted Transfer Costs related to such sublease.  Such amount shall be paid to Landlord on the same basis, whether periodic or in lump sum, that such Subrent is paid to Tenant by its subtenant.  All Permitted Transfer Costs shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the term of such sublease (including any extension options) for purposes of calculating the amount due Landlord hereunder.

 

(4)                                  Tenant’s obligations under this Section 14.1D shall survive any Transfer, and Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder shall be an Event of Tenant’s Default.  At the time Tenant makes any payment to Landlord required by this Section 14.1D, Tenant shall deliver an itemized statement of the method by which the amount to which Landlord is entitled was calculated, certified by Tenant as true and correct.  Upon request therefor, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all bills, invoices or other documents upon which its calculations are based.  Landlord may condition its approval of any Transfer upon obtaining a certification from both Tenant and the proposed transferee of all Subrent and other amounts that are to be paid to Tenant in connection with such Transfer.

 

(5)                                  As used in this Section 14.1D, the term “Subrent” shall mean any consideration of any kind received, or to be received, by Tenant as a result of the Transfer, if such sums are related to Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises, including payments from or on behalf of the transferee (in excess of the fair market value thereof) for Tenant’s assets, fixtures, leasehold improvements, inventory, accounts, goodwill, equipment, furniture, and general intangibles.  As used in this ¶14.1D, the term “Permitted Transfer Costs” shall mean (i) all leasing commissions paid to third parties not affiliated with

 

24



 

Tenant in order to obtain the Transfer in question, and (ii) all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant with respect to the Transfer in question, and (iii) the cost of all improvements made to the Premises in connection with the assignment or sublease.

 

E.                                      Deemed Transfers.  If Tenant is a corporation, the following shall be not be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease: (i) any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of or affecting Tenant, whether or not Tenant is the surviving corporation; and (ii) if the capital stock of Tenant is not publicly traded, the sale or transfer to one person or entity (or to any group of related persons or entities) stock possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors.  If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company or other entity any withdrawal or substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any partner, member or other party owning 25% or more (cumulatively) of any interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, limited liability company or other entity or the dissolution of the partnership, limited liability company or other entity, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease.

 

F.                                      Permitted Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1, Tenant may enter into any of the following transfers (a “Permitted Transfer”) without Landlord’s prior written consent  and the same shall not be deemed to be a “Transfer” hereunder, but after not less than five (5) days prior written notice to Landlord together with reasonable supporting documentation that the Transfer is a Permitted Transfer, and Landlord shall not be entitled to receive any part of any Subrent resulting therefrom that would otherwise be due it pursuant to ¶14.1D:

 

(1)                                  Tenant may sublease all or part of the Premises or assign its interest in this Lease to any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the original Tenant to this Lease;

 

(2)                                  Tenant may assign its interest in the Lease to an entity which results from a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, whether or not Tenant is the surviving entity, provided that the surviving entity has sufficient financing strength to meet the remaining obligations under this Lease; and

 

(3)                                  Tenant may assign this Lease to an entity which purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, provided that the acquiring entity has sufficient financing strength to meet the remaining obligations under this Lease.

 

G.                                     Reasonable Standards.  The consent of Landlord to a Transfer may not be unreasonably withheld, provided that it is agreed to be reasonable for Landlord to consider any of the following reasons, which list is not exclusive, in electing to deny consent:

 

(1)                                  The financial strength, credit, character and business or professional standing of the proposed transferee at the time of the proposed Transfer is up to Landlord’s reasonable standards for the Premises or the Project;

 

(2)                                  A proposed transferee whose occupation of the Premises would cause a diminution in the value of the Building or Project;

 

(3)                                  A proposed transferee whose impact or affect on the common facilities or the utility, efficiency or effectiveness of any utility or telecommunication system serving the Building or the Project or the other occupants of the Project would be adverse or require material improvements or changes in any utility or telecommunication capacity currently serving the Building or the Project;

 

25



 

(4)                                  A proposed transferee whose occupancy will require a variation in the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, a variation in the use clause) or which otherwise adversely affects any interest of Landlord;

 

(5)                                  A proposed transferee who is or is likely to be, or whose occupancy of the Premises is or is likely to, subject the Premises or the Project to compliance with additional laws or other governmental requirements beyond those to which Tenant’s occupancy is subject;

 

(6)                                  Either the proposed transferee is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building or in the Project at such time;

 

(7)                                  the proposed Transferee will use, store or handle Hazardous Materials (defined above) in or about the Premises of a type, nature or quantity not then acceptable to Landlord;

 

(8)                                  The existence of any default in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or any other sum required of Tenant under this Lease;

14.2                           Transfer By Landlord:  Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in this Lease and the Project at any time and to any person or entity.  In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and, in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor) from the date of such transfer, shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer, provided only that the transferor agrees in writing to assume the obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing from and after the effective date of such transfer.  After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Premises.

 

ARTICLE 15 GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

15.1                           Landlord’s Right to Enter:  Subject to Tenant’s reasonable security requirements, Landlord and its agents may enter the Premises at any reasonable time after giving at least 24 hours’ prior notice to Tenant (and immediately in the case of emergency) for the purpose of: (i) inspecting the same; (ii) posting notices of non-responsibility; (iii) supplying any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant; (iv) showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or (within 180 days of the expiration date of this Lease) tenants; (v) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs required by this Lease; (vi) performing Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after written notice from Landlord; (vii) placing upon the Premises ordinary “for lease” signs (within 180 days of the expiration date of this Lease) or “for sale” signs; and (viii) responding to an emergency.  Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means necessary and proper to enter the Premises in an emergency.  Any entry into the Premises obtained by Landlord in accordance with this ¶15.1 shall not be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises.

 

15.2                           Surrender of the Premises:  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed at the Commencement Date, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear, (ii) damage caused by any peril or condemnation, (iii) contamination by Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to Section 7.2 and (iv)

 

26



 

repair, maintenance or replacement tasks to be performed by Landlord hereunder.  In this regard, normal wear and tear shall be construed to mean wear and tear caused to the Premises by the natural aging process which occurs in spite of prudent application of commercially reasonable standards for maintenance, repair and janitorial practices, and does not include items of neglected or deferred maintenance.  If Landlord so requests, Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, (i) remove any Tenant’s Alterations which Tenant is required to remove pursuant to Section 5.2 and repair all damage caused by such removal, and (ii) return the Premises or any part thereof to its original configuration existing as of the time the Premises were delivered to Tenant if Tenant is required to do so pursuant to Section 5.2.  If the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the payment of Rent until the Premises are so surrendered in accordance with said provisions and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Premises to the required condition, plus interest on all costs incurred at the Agreed Interest Rate.  Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims paid to any succeeding tenant or losses and damages suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or prospective tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

15.3                           Holding Over:  This Lease shall terminate without further notice at the expiration of the Lease Term.  Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease.  Any holding over after such expiration without the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to 150% of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full calendar month of the Lease Term.

 

15.4                           Subordination:  The following provisions shall govern the relationship of this Lease to any Security Instrument:

 

A.                                   Existing Security Instruments.  The Lease is subject and subordinate to all Security Instruments existing as of the Effective Date.  However, if any Lender so requires, this Lease shall become prior and superior to any such Security Instrument.

 

B.                                     New Security Instruments.  At Landlord’s election, this Lease shall become subject and subordinate to any Security Instrument created after the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default and performs all of its obligations under this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.

 

C.                                     Documents.  Tenant shall upon request execute any document or instrument reasonably required by any Lender to make this Lease either prior or subordinate to a Security Instrument, which may include such other matters as the Lender customarily and reasonably requires in connection with such agreements, including provisions that the Lender not be liable for (i) the return of any security deposit unless the Lender receives it from Landlord, and (ii) any defaults on the part of Landlord occurring prior to the time the Lender takes possession of the Project in connection with the enforcement of its Security Instrument.  Tenant’s failure to execute any such document or instrument within 10 days after written demand therefor shall constitute an Event of Tenant’s Default.

 

15.5                           Mortgagee Protection and Attornment:  In the event of any default on the part of the Landlord, Tenant will use reasonable efforts to give notice by registered mail to any Lender whose name has been provided to Tenant and shall offer such Lender a reasonable opportunity to cure the default.  Tenant shall attorn to any purchaser of the Premises at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any Security

 

27



 

Instrument encumbering the Premises, or to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure.

 

15.6                           Estoppel Certificates and Financial Statements:  At all times during the Lease Term, each party agrees, following any request by the other party, promptly to execute and deliver to the requesting party within 15 days following delivery of such request an estoppel certificate: (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to the certifying party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of any party hereunder or, if there are uncured defaults, specifying the nature of such defaults, and (iv) certifying such other information about the Lease as may be reasonably required by the requesting party.  A failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within 15 days after delivery of a request therefor shall be a conclusive admission that, as of the date of the request for such statement: (i) this Lease is unmodified except as may be represented by the requesting party in said request and is in full force and effect, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the requesting party’s performance, and (iii) no rent has been paid more than 30 days in advance.  At any time during the Lease Term Tenant shall, upon 15 days’ prior written notice from Landlord, provide Tenant’s most recent public filing containing its financial statements (or if Tenant is not a public company at the time, such entity’s most recent financial statements) to any existing Lender or to any potential Lender or buyer of the Premises.

 

15.7                           Consent:  Whenever Landlord’s approval or consent is required by this Lease, such approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless a different standard has been expressly provided in this Lease for the particular matter requiring Landlord’s consent or approval.

 

15.8                           Notices:  Any notice required or desired to be given regarding this Lease shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery, by facsimile, by courier service, or by mail.  A notice shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the third business day after mailing if such notice was deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be served at its Address for Notices specified in Section Q or Section R of the Summary (as applicable), (ii) when delivered if given by personal delivery, and (iii) in all other cases when actually received at the party’s Address for Notices.  Either party may change its address by giving notice of the same in accordance with this Section 15.8.

 

15.9                           Attorneys’ Fees:  In the event either Landlord or Tenant shall bring any action or legal proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease or otherwise to enforce, protect or establish any term or covenant of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action brought for that purpose, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and experts’ fees as may be fixed by the court.

 

15.10                     Corporate Authority:  If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, Tenant represents and warrants that each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of such corporation in accordance with the by-laws of such corporation (or partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement of such partnership) and that this Lease is binding upon such corporation (or partnership) in accordance with its terms.  Tenant is a duly authorized and existing corporation, is qualified to do business in California, and has full right and authority to enter into this Lease.

 

15.11                     Miscellaneous:  Should any provision of this Lease prove to be invalid or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.  Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.  The captions used in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof.  Any fully executed copy of this Lease shall be deemed an original for all purposes.  This

 

28



 

Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant.  “Party” shall mean Landlord or Tenant, as the context implies.  If Tenant consists of more than one person or entity, then all members of Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.  This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.  The language in all parts of this Lease shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant.  When the context of this Lease requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine, the feminine, a partnership or corporation or joint venture, and the singular includes the plural.  The terms “shall”, “will” and “agree” are mandatory.  The term “may” is permissive.  When a party is required to do something by this Lease, it shall do so at its sole cost and expense without right of reimbursement from the other party unless a provision of this Lease expressly requires reimbursement.  Where a party hereto is obligated not to perform any act, such party is also obligated to restrain any others within its control from performing said act, including the agents of such party.  Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Tenant by reason of the provisions of this Lease.

 

15.12                     Termination by Exercise of Right:  If this Lease is terminated pursuant to its terms by the proper exercise of a right to terminate specifically granted to Landlord or Tenant by this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate 30 days after the date the right to terminate is properly exercised (unless another date is specified in that part of the Lease creating the right, in which event the date so specified for termination shall prevail), the rent and all other charges due hereunder shall be prorated as of the date of termination, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations under this Lease except for those that have accrued prior to the date of termination or those obligations which this Lease specifically provides are to survive termination.  This ¶15.12 does not apply to a termination of this Lease by Landlord as a result of an Event of Tenant’s Default.

 

15.13                     Brokerage Commissions:  Each party hereto (i) represents and warrants to the other that it has not had any dealings with any real estate brokers, leasing agents or salesmen, or incurred any obligations for the payment of real estate brokerage commissions or finder’s fees which would be earned or due and payable by reason of the execution of this Lease, other than to the Retained Real Estate Brokers described in Section S of the Summary, and (ii) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party from any claim for any such commission or fees which result from the actions of the indemnifying party.  Landlord shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from, the payment of any commission owed to the Retained Real Estate Brokers.

 

15.14                     Force Majeure:  Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lock-outs, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction, civil commotion, fire or other acts of God, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (except financial inability) shall excuse the performance by a party, for a period equal to the period of any said prevention, delay or stoppage, of any obligation hereunder.

 

15.15                     Entire Agreement:  This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and there are no binding agreements or representations between the parties except as expressed herein.  Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s Agents has made any legally binding representation or warranty as to any matter except those expressly set forth herein, including any warranty as to (i) whether the Premises may be used for Tenant’s intended use under existing Law, (ii) the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business, or (iii) the condition of any improvements.  There are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between Landlord and Tenant or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease.  This instrument shall not be legally binding until it is executed by both Landlord and Tenant.  No subsequent change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

Force Majeure Delays” - Any delay, other than a Tenant Delay, by Landlord in completing the Tenant Improvements by the Estimated Commencement Date set forth in the Lease by reason of (i) any strike, lockout or other labor trouble or industrial disturbance (whether or not on the part of the employees of either party hereto), (ii) governmental preemption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, civil disturbance, riot, war, sabotage, blockade, embargo, inability to secure customary materials, supplies or labor through ordinary sources by reason of regulation or order of any government or regulatory body, or (iii) shortages of fuel, materials, supplies or labor, (iv) lightning, earthquake, fire, storm, tornado, flood, washout explosion, inclement weather or any other similar industry-wide or Building-wide cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or (v) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the above, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.  The time for performance of any obligation of Landlord to construct Landlord’s Work under this Work Letter or the Lease shall be extended at Landlord’s election by the period of any delay caused by any of the foregoing events.

 

Space Plan” - That certain Space Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, which reflect the Tenant Improvements to be constructed by Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant hereby approve of the Space Plan.  The type and quality of materials to be used by Landlord to construct the Tenant Improvements will be in accordance with the specifications described in Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (the “Specifications”).

Tenant Delay” - Any delay incurred by Landlord in completing the Tenant Improvements due to (i) a delay by Tenant, or by any person employed or engaged by Tenant, in approving or delivering to Landlord any plans, schedules or information, including, without limitation, the Construction Plans beyond the applicable time period set forth in this Exhibit, if any; (ii) any changes requested by Tenant in or to previously approved work or in the Space Plan or Construction Plans; (iii) requests for materials and finishes which are not readily available, and/or delays in delivery of any materials specified by Tenant through change orders; or (v) interference with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

 

Tenant Improvements” - The improvements to be installed by Landlord in the Premises substantially in accordance with the Construction Plans and the type and quality of the Tenant Improvements shall be in accordance with the Specifications.

 

2.                                       Construction of the Tenant Improvements.

 

2.1                                 Construction Plans.  Landlord shall cause to be prepared the Construction Plans for the Tenant Improvements that are consistent with and are logical evolutions of the Space Plan and the building standards.  Tenant’s approval of the Construction Plans shall not be required.  However, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within five (5) days after receipt of Construction Plans or any preliminary plans that (i) Tenant approves of such plans; or (ii) Tenant disapproves the plans because they vary in design from the Space Plan approved by Landlord and Tenant in the particular instances specified by Tenant in such notice (including, without limitation, the specific changes requested by Tenant), but such disapproval shall constitute a Tenant Delay unless the plans deviate from the Space Plan or changes in such Space Plan that have been approved in writing by Landlord.

 

2.2                                 Construction.  Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements substantially in accordance with the Construction Plans.  The construction contract for constructing the Tenant Improvements and the contractor(s) to perform the work shall be approved and/or selected, as the case may be, by Landlord at its sole and absolute discretion without the consent of Tenant.

2



 

3.                                       Payment of Construction Costs.  Landlord shall pay for the costs to construct the Tenant Improvements based on the Space Plan in existence as of the date hereof.  Any additional costs due to changes in the Tenant Improvements reflected in the Space Plan or in the Construction Plans requested by Tenant or as a result of any Tenant Delay shall be paid by Tenant as provided in section 4 below.

 

4.                                       Changes in Work.  Tenant shall be permitted to make changes in the Space Plan, Construction Plans, Tenant Improvements or Specifications, but only if Tenant agrees to pay for any additional cost attributable to such changes and provided such changes are approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  Any change that results in a delay in constructing the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed a Tenant Delay, and shall extend the time period by which Landlord must Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements, but shall not extend or postpone the date for payment of rent or for commencement of the term under this Lease.  The cost of such changes, including the cost to revise the Construction Plans, obtain any additional permits and construct any additional improvements required as a result thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, together with reasonable supporting documentation. If Landlord does not receive such payment within said ten (10) day period, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies available under the Lease, at law or in equity, to (i) discontinue all or any portion of the work until it receives said payment; (ii) proceed with the other work not affected by such change until such payment is received; (iii) proceed with the work contemplated with such change; or (iv) proceed with the work without making such change; in which case the commencement or completion of such work shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to pay for same or any additional costs or expenses incurred as a result thereof.

 

5.                                       ADA.  By the Commencement Date, Landlord agrees that the Tenant Improvements and the Premises will comply with the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et. seq. and any rules, regulations, restrictions, guidelines, requirements or publications promulgated or published pursuant thereto (“ADA”), exclusive of any changes that may be required due to Tenant’s particular use or change in use of the Premises or the manner in which it conducts its business therein, or the construction of any improvements or alterations in the Premises by Tenant.

 

6.                                       Landlord’s Exterior Work.  At its expense, Landlord agrees to make the exterior remodeling improvements depicted in Exhibit B-3 attached hereto (“Exterior Work”).  Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation to make changes to the Exterior Work without the consent of Tenant so long as the changes that may reduce the scope of the Exterior Work do not have an adverse effect on the cosmetic appearance of the exterior of the Building.  Landlord agrees to complete the Exterior Work prior to, and as a condition to, the Commencement Date, subject to Tenant Delays.

 

7.                                       FFE.  At its expense, Landlord agrees to provide the furniture, fixtures and equipment as noted in the Space Plan attached hereto (the “FF&E”) on or before the Commencement Date.  The quality and type of materials shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord and Tenant and consistent with Class A office use.  Tenant shall provide its approval or disapproval within three days after request by Landlord and any disapproval must include the changes requested by Tenant for approval.

 

8.                                       Warranty.  The Tenant Improvements, the Exterior Work and the FF&E shall be constructed or obtained in accordance with the Construction Plans and Specifications (in the case of the Tenant Improvements), Exhibit B-3 (in the case of the Exterior Work) or the Space Plan (in the case of the FF&E), in full compliance with all Laws.  Landlord shall warrant that the Tenant Improvements and the Exterior Work are free from material defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year following completion (“Warranty Period”), and Landlord will assign to Tenant any warranty Landlord

 

3



 

may receive in connection with the FF&E.  Tenant must notify Landlord of a defect promptly after Tenant discovers such defect, but not later than the end of the Warranty Period.

 

9.                                       Remeasurement of Square Footage.  The Premises shall contain a rentable area of approximately the rentable square feet (“RSF”) set forth in Section D of the Lease Summary, which is the Landlord’s best estimate of the rentable area that will be in the Premises upon completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements.  Upon the completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, Landlord shall cause the Premises to be remeasured in accordance with the Standard (as defined below) and shall, within (10) days of the completion of the Tenant Improvements, advise Tenant, by notice, of the RSF in the Premises and the basis for such calculation (“Landlord’s Determination”).  If Tenant shall dispute Landlord’s Determination, it may contest Landlord’s Determination by sending Landlord a notice (“Contest Notice”) within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s Determination.  If Tenant does not send the Contest Notice within such time period, Landlord’s Determination shall be final and binding on Tenant and all dollar amounts set forth in Section K of the Lease Summary which are predicated on RSF shall be amended to reflect Landlord’s Determination.  If Tenant sends the Contest Notice within the time period, then within ten (10) days of Landlord’s receipt of the Contest Notice from Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly appoint a designer or architect (“Neutral”) to field measure the Premises in accordance with the Standard, and all figures, percentages and dollar amounts in the Lease which are predicated on the RSF set forth in Section K of the Lease Summary shall be amended accordingly, based on the field measurements by the Neutral in accordance with the Standard.  The Neutral must be a designer or architect with ten (10) years of experience and familiar with BOMA definitions in the Standard.  If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a Neutral, such appointment shall be made as quickly as possible by any court of competent jurisdiction after request by either Landlord or Tenant.  The calculation of the rentable area shall include the rentable area of the floor according to the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1-1996 (“Standard”).  If the determination by the Neutral is within plus or minus 5% of the Landlord’s Determination, the cost of the Neutral shall be paid by Tenant.  If the determination by the Neutral shall be paid by Tenant.  If the determination by the Neutral is not within plus or minus five percent (5%) of the Landlord’s Determination the cost of the Neutral shall be paid by Landlord

ADDENDUM NO. 1

 

This ADDENDUM NO. 1 (this “Addendum”) is made in connection with and is a part of that certain Lease, dated as of June 12, 2003, by and between Shoreline Park, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Landlord, and Omnicell, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lease”).

 

1.                                       Definitions and Conflict.  All capitalized terms referred to in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as provided in the Lease, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Addendum.  In case of any conflict between any term or provision of the Lease and any exhibits attached thereto and this Addendum, this Addendum shall control.

 

2.                                       Option to Extend and Rent During the Extended Period.  Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend the initial Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the period shall be referred to as the “Extension Period”) by giving written notice of exercise of such option (“Extension Option Notice”) at least one hundred eight (180) days, but not more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term.  If an Event of Tenant’s Default (as defined in Section 13.1 of the Lease) exists on the date of giving an Extension Option Notice, or if an Event of Tenant’s Default exists on the date of the applicable Extension Period is to commence, the Extension Period at the option of Landlord shall not commence and the Lease shall expire at the end of initial Lease Term.  The Extension Period shall commence, if at all, immediately following the expiration of the initial Lease Term.  If Tenant is in default (after notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period) under any term or provision of the Lease on the date of the applicable Extension Period is to commence, the Extension Period at the option of Landlord shall not commence and the Lease shall expire at the end of initial term.  The Extension Period shall be upon all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, except that the Base Monthly Rent during such Extension Period shall be five-five percent (95%) of then Fair Market Rent, (ii) Tenant shall not have any right or option to extend the Lease Term beyond the one and only Extension Period, (iv) any work, allowances or concession provided, granted or available to Tenant at or in connection with the commencement of the initial Lease Term will not apply, except that Landlord shall agree, at not cost to Tenant, to recarpet and repaint the Premises.

 

2.1                                 Fair Market Rent. The term “Fair Market Rent” for purposes of determining Base Monthly Rent during the Extension Period shall mean the base monthly rent generally applicable to similar leases in like buildings for space of comparable size, age, quality of the Premises in the Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, California area projected as of the first day of the Extension Period by giving due consideration for the quality of the Building and improvements therein (including the quality of the then existing improvements in the Premises), for a term comparable to the Extension Period at the time the commencement of the Extension Period is scheduled to commence, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease that will be applicable during the Extension Period.

 

2.2                                 Procedure to Determine Fair Market Rent.  Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent (“Landlord’s FMR”) after receipt of the Extension Option Notice.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice of Landlord’s FMR, Tenant shall have the right either to: (i) accept Landlord’s FMR, or (ii) elect to have the Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the appraisal procedure set forth below.  If Tenant fails to provide written notice of such election within said time period, Landlord may send a second written notice to Landlord requesting such election and if Tenant fails to provide written notice of such election to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of such second written notice, then it shall be deemed an acceptance of Landlord’s FMR.  The election (or deemed election) by Tenant under this section shall be non-revocable and binding on the parties.

2.3                                 Appraisers.  If Tenant has elected to have the Fair Market Rent determined by an appraisal, then within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s written notice of such an election, each party, by giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint an appraiser to render a written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period.  Each appraiser must be a member of the Appraisal Institute of America (MAI) for at least five years and with at least five years experience in the appraisal of rental rates of office buildings in the area in which the Building is located and otherwise unaffiliated with either Landlord or Tenant.  The two appraisers shall render their written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period to Landlord and Tenant within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the second appraiser.  If the Fair Market Rent of each appraiser is within five percent (5%) of each other, then the average of the two appraisals of Fair Market Rent shall be the Base Monthly Rent for the Extension Period.  If one party does not appoint its appraiser as provided above, then the one appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent.  The Fair Market Rent so determined under this section shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.

 

2.4                                 Third Appraiser.  If the Fair Market Rent determined by the appraisers is more than five percent (5%) apart, then the two appraisers shall pick a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the two appraisers have rendered their opinions of Fair Market Rent as provided above.  If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the third appraiser within said ten (10) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the third appraiser within ten (10) days thereafter and if the parties fail to agree within said time period, then at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such third appraiser shall be promptly appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County where the Premises are located..  The third appraiser shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party and must meet the qualifications stated above.

 

2.5                                 Impartial Appraisal.  Within twenty (20) days after its appointment, the third appraiser shall render its written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the applicable Extension Period (“Third Opinion”).  If the fair market rent set forth in the Third Opinion is equidistant from the fair market rent determination of Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraiser, then the fair market rent contained in the Third Opinion shall be the Base Monthly Rent during the Extension Period.  If the fair market rent of the Third Opinion is not equidistant from the fair market rent made by Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraiser, then the two closest fair market determinations made by Landlord’s appraiser, Tenant’s appraiser and the Third Opinion shall be average and such average shall be the Base Monthly Rent during the applicable Extension Period.  The fair market rent determined in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall be binding on the parties

 

2.6                                 Appraisal Costs.  Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and one-half (1/2) the cost of the third appraiser.

 

2.7                                 Acknowledgment of Rent.  After the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period has been established in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease to reflect the Base Monthly Rent for the Extension Period.

 

2.8                                 Personal to Assignees.  The foregoing option to extend is personal to the original Tenant signing the Lease and any transferee under a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 14.1F of the Lease) and any other assignee approved in writing by Landlord, but may not be assigned or transferred to or exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee under a Transfer.

3.                                       First Offer Expansion Right.  As of the date of the Lease, Landlord owns the following buildings in the Shoreline Business Park (in addition to the Building): 1395-1397 Charleston Road, 1380 Shorebird Way, 1390 Shorebird Way, 1383 Shorebird Way, 1393 Shorebird Way and 1371-1375 Shorebird Way, Mountain View, CA (the “Other Buildings”).  Tenant shall have the right during the initial Term (the “First Offer Period”), not the Extension Period or any other period after the initial Term, to expand into space in one of the Other Buildings that at the time is still owned by Landlord (the “Expansion Space”) solely in accordance with the terms of this Section 3 and its subsections, provided that Tenant is not in default of any term or provision of the Lease.  Such right shall not be applicable to (i) a renewal, expansion, assignment or sublease of any lease with any existing tenant for space in any portion of the Expansion Space, (ii) any expansion options or similar rights granted to any other tenant now existing in the Other Buildings, or (iii) any building included in the definition of Other Buildings that has been sold by Landlord,.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Addendum or the Lease, if Landlord sells any or all of the buildings in definition of Other Buildings, then such buildings affected thereby shall no longer be included in the Other Buildings where there may be Expansion Space.  For purposes hereof of this Section 3, a sale shall include a sale by Landlord to another party or a taking in condemnation (or an agreement in lieu thereof), or a foreclosure or trustee sale (or deed in lieu thereof).

 

3.1                                 Process.  During the First Offer Period, if Tenant wants to lease additional space in the Expansion Space, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the size of the additional Expansion Space Tenant wants to lease (“Tenant’s Expansion Request”).  Tenant’s Expansion Request shall remain in effect for a period of six (6) months, until Tenant accepts a Landlord’s Expansion Proposal or until Tenant revokes an Expansion Request, whichever comes first.  If Landlord determines that a portion of the Expansion Space matching Tenant’s Expansion Request is available for lease or will be available for lease within the following six months after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Expansion Request, Landlord will propose such space to Tenant for lease at a rental rate and other terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (“Landlord’s Expansion Proposal”).  No court, arbitrator, mediator, appraiser or other third party shall have the right to determine the terms and conditions for any lease terms in Landlord’s Expansion Proposal.  Tenant shall have ten (10) days within which to agree to lease such Expansion Space on the terms set forth in Landlord’s Expansion Proposal or to reject such proposal.  If Tenant fails to provide written notice of acceptance of Landlord’s Expansion Proposal within said time period, Landlord may send a second written notice to Landlord requesting Tenant’s response and if Tenant fails to provide written notice of acceptance to Landlord within two (2) business days after receipt of such second written notice, then it shall be deemed a rejection by Tenant.  If Tenant provides written notice of acceptance of Landlord’s Expansion Proposal but makes any change in the terms for the lease of the Expansion Space contained in the Landlord’s Expansion Proposal, then it shall be deemed a rejection of Landlord’s Expansion Proposal.

 

3.2                                 Effect of Rejection.  If Tenant rejects (or is deemed to have rejected) the offer to lease the portion of the Expansion Space contained in the Landlord’s Expansion Proposal (the “Rejected Space”), Landlord shall be free to lease all or any portion of the Rejected Space offered to Tenant to any other party on the terms proposed in Landlord’s Expansion Proposal, or on any other terms which may be different than the terms in Landlord’s Expansion Proposal, subject to the limitation in Section 3.3 below, in which case Tenant’s right to lease the Rejected Space shall automatically lapse and the Rejected Space will no longer be subject to Tenant’s rights to expand under Section 3 of this Addendum.

 

3.3                                 Changes in the Offer.  If the difference in the stated minimum monthly rent for the term contained in Landlord’s Expansion Proposal that was not accepted by Tenant is greater than ten percent (10%) of the stated minimum monthly rent payable over the term in any amended offer to lease

 

3



 

from a third party, Landlord shall be obligated to offer the revised terms to Tenant and Tenant shall have five (5) days after receipt of such amended offer to accept or reject the revised terms.  If Tenant rejects or does not accept the revised or new terms within the foregoing time period, Landlord shall have the right to enter a lease for all or any portion of such Expansion Space on the revised or new terms.

 

3.4                                 Election to Expand.  If Tenant accepts Landlord Expansion Proposal as provided above, then the parties shall enter into an amendment of the Lease to include such Expansion Space on the terms set forth in Landlord’s Proposal Notice.

 

3.5                                 Personal to Assignees.  The foregoing right of first offer to lease the Expansion Space is personal to the original Tenant signing the Lease and any transferee under a Permitted Transfer and any other assignee approved in writing by Landlord, but may not be assigned or transferred to or exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee under a Transfer.

 

4.                                       First Offer to Purchase.  If Landlord elects in its sole and absolute discretion to market the Building for sale, as a single asset and not in a pool or combination of other properties owned by Landlord or its affiliates, to an unaffiliated third party, at any time during the initial Lease Term or any extended term, and if Tenant is not then in default of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord will first notify Tenant in writing of the price and on terms and conditions under which Landlord would sell the Building to Tenant (the “Sale Notice”).  Landlord may market for sale the Building at any time, including while Tenant is considering to purchase based on the Sale Notice.  Tenant may elect to purchase at the price and terms set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering to Landlord unconditional and irrevocable written notice of acceptance within 10 days after receipt of the Sale Notice.  If Tenant does not provide such notice of acceptance within said time period or if Tenant makes any change in the purchase price or other terms in the Sale Notice, it shall be deemed an election not to purchase, and Landlord shall be free to sell the Building to any other party on the terms proposed in Landlord’s Sale Notice, or on any other terms which may be different than the terms in Landlord’s Sale Notice, so long as the purchase price is not 10% less than the purchase price proposed in the applicable Sale Notice, for a period of 12 months, in which case Tenant’s right to purchase the Building shall lapse and be of no further force or effect.  If Landlord fails to consummate such a sale or enter into a binding purchase agreement for such a sale during such period, the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 4 shall once again be effective.  No court, arbitrator, mediator, appraiser or other third party shall have the right to determine the purchase price or other terms and conditions for purchase of the Building.  Upon exercise of the option to purchase, the parties shall enter into a binding purchase agreement containing the terms set forth in the Sale Notice, which terms may include a deposit by Tenant of five percent of the purchase price in escrow with an escrow company selected by Tenant, which deposit may be non-refundable but applicable to the purchase price at closing.

 

The foregoing right of first offer to purchase the Building is personal to the original Tenant signing the Lease and any transferee under a Permitted Transfer and any other assignee approved in writing by Landlord, but may not be assigned or transferred to or exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee under a Transfer.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this option to purchase is subject and subordinate to any deed of trust now or hereafter placed on the Building and that any lender will not be obligated to agree to recognize such right in the event of a foreclosure, trustee’s sale or deed in lieu thereof or in connection with providing any subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement.
