1.2          Diligence; Property Access.

(a)          Prior to the Effective Date, Buyer has in good faith and with diligence, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, reviewed and investigated the physical and environmental condition of the Property, the character, quality and general utility of the Property, the zoning, land use, environmental and building requirements and restrictions applicable to the Property, the state of title to the Property, the Leases, the Contracts and the Permits.  Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and paying the cost of any amendment or update to the survey of the Property dated May 21, 2021 prepared by BKF Engineers (such existing survey, the “Survey”) that may be required by Buyer.  Buyer shall have the right to continue between the Effective Date and the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 1.2, all examinations, tests, analyses, investigations, surveys, inquiries and other inspections all of which shall be performed by Buyer at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and shall be subject to such reasonable conditions as Seller may impose, including a requirement that Buyer and its authorized representatives and agents be accompanied by a representative of Seller while present on the Property and including site access guidelines and requirements of Seller; provided that Buyer shall have no right to terminate based on such ongoing access and investigations.

(b)          Except for Privileged Information (as defined below), Seller has and shall make available to Buyer at the Property and/or through a virtual data room certain items in Seller’s possession or control (collectively, the “Diligence Documents”).  Buyer acknowledges that Seller has made available to Buyer, prior to the Effective Date, the materials described in Schedule 5 attached hereto.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not be required to  provide, copy or make available to Buyer (and the Diligence Documents do not include) (a) any of Seller’s internal memoranda, notes, emails, meeting minutes or other proprietary documents, correspondence or communications between partners, officers or members, directly or indirectly, of Seller or any of its constituent entities or any of their employees, (b) any confidential or proprietary documents (including information covered by the attorney-client privilege), (c) any appraisals, valuations or projections prepared by Seller or any third party, or (d) any documents, files or records regarding the financing or refinancing of the Property or Seller’s acquisition of the Property or the formation of Seller (or its constituent entities) (the “Privileged Information”).  Buyer acknowledges that the Diligence Documents relating to the Property to be furnished by Seller to Buyer contain confidential and proprietary information.  Buyer shall prior to Closing keep the Diligence Documents strictly confidential pursuant to and accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement dated as of February 17, 2021 between Buyer and Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).  No representation or warranty in respect of any of the Diligence Documents (including the accuracy or completeness thereof) are or shall be deemed to be made or provided by Seller relating thereto or to the Property or otherwise, and Buyer hereby acknowledges that no representations or warranties, either express or implied, were made by Seller (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the documents and instruments executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement) with respect to any of the foregoing.  To the extent any person, other than Seller as expressly set forth herein, including any surveyors, appraisers, title agents, Tenants, escrow agent, attorneys, engineering consultants or environmental consultants, brokers, made any representations or warranties (other than as expressly set forth in Section 5.1) or any other statements (verbal or written) to Buyer, or provided any documents, reports, studies, information or other materials, Buyer acknowledges it shall have no claim or right of action against Seller arising therefrom, nor any right to rescind or revoke this Agreement on account thereof.

(d)          Buyer hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s partners, officers, directors, employees, licensees, contractors, agents, invitees, counsel, brokers, and attorneys of Seller, its counsel or brokers (individually, each a “Seller Party” and collectively, “Seller Parties”) from and against any and all obligations, losses, injuries, damages, claims, liens, costs, expenses, demands, liabilities, penalties and investigation costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Losses”), incurred in connection with or arising out of or in any way connected with (a) any entry on the Property by Buyer or any of Buyer’s representatives, employees, agents, consultants or contractors, (b) the Due Diligence Inspections, (c) any act or negligent omission by Buyer or Buyer Parties in connection with this Agreement, or (d) Buyer’s breach of this Section 1.2 of this Agreement, provided, however, that such indemnity shall not extend to Losses arising out of the mere discovery of adverse facts by Buyer or Buyer’s consultants.  If Seller notifies Buyer of a claim to which it is entitled to indemnification, and Buyer fails to notify Seller within ten (10) business days thereafter that Buyer intends to defend the claim, or at any time thereafter Buyer fails to diligently defend or settle the claim, Seller or the Seller Party shall be entitled to defend such claim, and settle or compromise such claim, subject to the indemnification provided for herein.  Buyer shall not settle any claim for which Seller or a Seller Party may be liable without the prior written consent of Seller and the Seller Party unless Buyer indemnifies Seller and Seller Parties from all obligations of Buyer with respect to the claim.  Buyer’s obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Seller’s default and Seller, at Seller’s option, requests any reports relating to the Property provided to Buyer by third parties (the “Buyer Reports”), Buyer shall deliver the Buyer Reports to Seller.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be required to provide, copy or make available to Seller any internal memoranda, appraisals and valuation reports and similar information or information covered by the attorney-client privilege.

(e)          Buyer shall maintain, and shall ensure that those Buyer Parties entering the Property maintain commercial general liability insurance from an insurance company authorized to do business in the state where the Property is located insuring Buyer and its representatives against any liability arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof.  Such insurance maintained by Buyer (and Buyer Parties) shall be in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence or, for Buyer Parties that are considered low risk based upon the activities to be conducted by them onsite, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).  The required limit may be satisfied through a combination of primary and excess liability policies.  Any liability policy(ies) maintained by Buyer (and Buyer Parties) shall (i) insure the contractual liability of Buyer covering Seller, (ii) name the Seller (and its successors and assigns) and PG&E Corporation, a California corporation (and its successors and assigns) as additional insureds, (iii) contain a cross-liability provision, (iv) contain a provision that the insurance provided by Buyer (and Buyer Parties) hereunder shall be primary and noncontributing with any other insurance available to Seller (and its successors and assigns), and (v) be in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Buyer and Buyer Parties arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.2.  Buyer shall also maintain, and shall ensure that the applicable Buyer Parties maintain, auto liability coverage including owned, non-owned and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage and Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability in compliance with applicable Federal and State laws.  Buyer shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage, including additional insured status, prior to any entry or inspection of the Property.  The limits of insurance maintained by Buyer or Buyer Parties pursuant to this subsection shall not limit Buyer’s liability under this Agreement.

(f)          Buyer, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is two (2) business days after the discovery thereof, may object to any title exception in any update to the Preliminary Report.  Buyer shall be deemed to have approved title to the Property as shown in the Preliminary Report, as updated and the Survey, or any updates or new survey, unless Buyer objects to any title exception or survey matter in accordance with this Section 1.2.  If Buyer makes any such objection, Seller may, by giving notice to Buyer on or before the date that is three (3) business days after Buyer’s objection notice, elect either to remove such objections (or insure over such objections in a manner reasonably approved by Buyer) or not to remove such objections.  Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove any such objection (or insure over such objection) unless Seller elects to remove or insure over any such objection in accordance with this Section 1.2.  If Seller elects to remove or insure over any such objection in a manner reasonably approved by Buyer, such title exception or survey matter in question shall not be considered a Permitted Exception.  If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove or insure over any such objection, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is three (3) business days after Seller’s election not to cure (or deemed election not to cure), either to terminate this Agreement (in which case the Deposit and the Independent Consideration (as such terms are defined below) shall be delivered to and retained by Seller) or to withdraw such objection and accept title to the Property subject to the title exception or survey matter in question.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Buyer objects to a new exception that constitutes a monetary lien and Seller does not elect to cure such lien or provide a credit at closing in the amount of such lien, then any exercise of such termination right shall result in a return of the Deposit to Buyer (less the Independent Consideration).  If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 1.2, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved title to the Property subject to the title exception or survey matter in question and to have withdrawn such objection.  The following shall be considered “Permitted Exceptions”:  (i) the matters shown as exceptions in the Preliminary Report, or any updates thereto or the Survey or any updates or new survey and approved (or deemed to be approved) by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.2; (ii) the Leases; (iii) [intentionally omitted], (iv) taxes and assessments which are not past due as of the Closing Date; (v) the PG&E Lease, (vi) the Utility Access Agreement (as defined below), and (vii) any other matters created, permitted or approved by Buyer.  If Seller requires additional time to remove or insure over a title exception identified by Buyer, the Closing Date shall be postponed for up to thirty (30) calendar days as Seller may deem necessary to remove such title exception.  For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall remove at Closing all deeds of trust, mortgages and bonded indebtedness encumbering the Property, and no such liens shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions hereunder.

(g)          Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any and all inspections of the Property shall be conducted in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to Tenants or to the operation of the Property.  With respect to meetings with Tenants and subtenants, Seller agrees to permit Buyer to meet with Tenants; provided, however, that Buyer must provide Seller with written notice of such proposed meeting (which shall be arranged by Seller) at least two (2) business days prior thereto, and also provided that a representative of Seller, at Seller’s election, is available for and is present at such meeting.  Except as expressly set forth above, neither Buyer nor any of the Buyer’s representatives shall contact Tenants or make any inquiries of Tenants.  Seller shall make available to Buyer Seller’s employees, representatives, contractors, building engineers, leasing agents and property managers (and their employees) at times and frequencies reasonably sufficient to allow Buyer to conduct its due diligence.  Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any due diligence investigations conducted by Buyer at the Property.  In the event Buyer or any of Buyer’s representatives desire to conduct any physically intrusive due diligence, such as sampling of soils, inspection of building materials, roof inspections, drilling wells or the like, Buyer shall identify in writing exactly what procedures such party desires to perform and the identity of the contractor or consultant which will perform such work and request Seller’s express prior written consent thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Upon receipt of Seller’s written consent, Buyer and/or Buyer’s representatives, as applicable, shall perform any and all due diligence at Buyer’s sole cost and expense strictly in compliance with the agreed upon procedures and with any and all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits and licenses applicable to the Property.

2.2           Deposit.

(a)          Within two (2) business days after execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the sum of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (together with any interest earned thereon, the “Deposit”) in cash in immediately available funds in escrow with Chicago Title Company, Attention: Jennifer Lewis, phone: 415 ###-###-####, e-fax: 415 ###-###-#### (the “Title Company”).  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit is delivered to the Title Company for delivery by the Title Company to Seller as “Independent Consideration” (herein so called), and the Deposit is reduced by the amount of the Independent Consideration, which amount has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.  The Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of all other consideration provided for in this Agreement and is non-refundable in all events.  The Deposit shall be held by the Title Company in an interest-bearing account designated in writing by Buyer and approved in writing by Seller.  If Seller and Buyer complete the purchase and sale of the Property in accordance with this Agreement, the Deposit shall be applied to payment of the total Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof.

(b)          For the avoidance of doubt, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to the Buyer in all events other than (1) a termination of this Agreement by Buyer upon a material default by Seller under or a material breach by Seller of this Agreement (including a material breach of a representation or warranty by Seller), (2) a termination of this Agreement by Seller pursuant to Section 3.1 or due to the failure of satisfaction of the condition precedent contained in Section 7.1(c), or (3) a termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.1, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, or due to the failure of satisfaction of the condition precedent contained in Section 7.2(e).  In each of the foregoing instances, the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be fully refundable and shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser upon termination of this Agreement.  In all other cases, the Deposit shall be delivered to and retained by Seller if this Agreement terminates prior to the occurrence of the Closing hereunder.

8.2          Possession.  Subject to the PG&E Lease and the Leases, Seller shall transfer possession of the Property to Buyer on the Closing Date.  Seller shall, on the Closing Date, deliver to Buyer the Leases, Contracts, Permits and any other plans and specifications, certificates, licenses and approvals relating to the Property in the possession of Seller, which shall become the property of Buyer on the Closing Date.  On the Closing Date, Seller shall send letters to the Tenants notifying them that the Property has been sold to Buyer and directing them to pay future rent and other charges to Buyer at the address to be furnished by Buyer.

8.3          Closing Costs.  Seller shall pay (i) one-half of any escrow fees, and (ii) for any city and county transfer taxes arising from the transaction contemplated hereby.  Buyer shall pay (i) the cost of recording the Deed, (ii) the cost of the premium for the Title Policy, including any upgrades, endorsements, coinsurance and reinsurance to the Title Policy, including the cost of extended coverage over general exceptions, (iii) one-half of any escrow fees, and (iv) the cost of any updates to the Survey.  Any other closing costs shall be paid in accordance with local custom.

19


(a)          Real Estate Taxes and Assessments.  Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall be allocated current general and special real estate taxes, bond interest (if applicable), assessments, improvement district assessments (including, any assessments imposed by private covenant) and similar items (“Taxes”) applicable to Buyer’s period of ownership or applicable to Seller’s period of ownership, respectively, even if such Taxes are not yet due and payable.  Buyer expressly acknowledges that Seller, as a regulated public utility, pays Taxes on the Property as assessed by the California State Board of Equalization (the “SBE”) as of January 1 of each year.  Once the Property is so assessed, Seller automatically is obligated to pay Taxes thereon for the subsequent fiscal year commencing the following July 1.  At the Closing, Taxes shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer, with Seller responsible for all Taxes allocable to the period before Closing, and Buyer responsible for all Taxes allocable to the period on and after Closing and Seller shall receive a credit for any amounts that Seller has become obligated to pay to the SBE (except to the extent that Buyer is obligated to pay Taxes for the same period of time to the City and County of San Francisco such that Buyer would be exposed to the payment of double Taxes).  Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and the SBE to complete any documentation necessary to transfer the assessment process out of the SBE jurisdiction and terminate the assessment of Taxes by the SBE.  The obligations of the parties under this Section 8.4(a) shall survive Closing.

(c)          Contracts and Operating Expenses.  Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall receive a credit for regular charges under the Contracts and for operating expenses, paid and applicable to Buyer’s period of ownership or payable and applicable to Seller’s period of ownership, respectively.

9.2          Attorneys’ Fees.  If there is any legal action or proceeding between Seller and Buyer arising from or based on this Agreement, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in connection therewith.  If such prevailing party recovers a judgment in any such action, proceeding or appeal, such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be included in and as a part of such judgment.

9.3          Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

9.4          Construction.  Seller and Buyer acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any document executed and delivered by either party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used to interpret this Agreement.

9.5          Terms Generally.  The defined terms in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and the plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  The term “person” includes individuals, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, trusts, other legal entities, organizations and associations, and any government or governmental agency or authority.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  The words “approval,” “consent” and “notice” shall be deemed to be preceded by the word “written.”

9.6          Further Assurances.  From and after the Effective Date, Seller and Buyer agree to do such things, perform such acts, and make, execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary or proper and usual to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out the purpose of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement.

9.7          Partial Invalidity.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a proper court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.


23


9.8          Waivers.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any breach of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving party and any such waiver shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or any other or subsequent breach of this Agreement.

9.9          Miscellaneous.  The Exhibits and Schedules attached to this Agreement are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement.  Neither Seller nor Buyer shall make any public announcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the other, unless any such announcement is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law.  Buyer shall not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any interest in or part of this Agreement, without the prior consent of Seller, which Seller may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement with notice to, but without the consent of, Seller to an entity or entities that is or are affiliated with Buyer that have been formed by Buyer for the purpose of taking title to the Property.  No such assignment or transfer shall release Buyer from any obligation or liability under this Agreement.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall benefit and bind Seller and Buyer and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement signed by Seller and Buyer.  This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire and integrated agreement between Seller and Buyer relating to the purchase and sale of the Property, and this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, offers and negotiations, oral or written, with respect to the sale of the Property.

9.10          Time is of the Essence.  Subject to the express Closing extension rights included herein, time is of the essence of this Agreement.  In the computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement or by law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included, unless it is not a business day, in which case the period shall be deemed to run until the end of the next day which is a business day.

9.11          Electronic Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The words “execution”, “signed” and “signature” and words of like import in this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “.pdf”, “.tif” or “.jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign).  The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Uniform Commercial Code.

9.12          Exculpation.  No constituent shareholder, member or partner in or agent of Seller or Buyer, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, member, manager, partner, participant, representative or agent of any partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust or other entity that has or acquires a direct or indirect interest in Seller or Buyer, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times.  Each party and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons, shall look solely to the other party’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and each party, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability.


24


9.13          Joint and Several Obligations.  If more than one person is included within the party designated hereinabove as Buyer, then each of the obligations imposed upon such party under this Agreement shall be the joint and several obligations of each of such persons.

9.14          Business Day.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean Monday through Friday, inclusive, but excluding any day which is recognized as a legal holiday by the State of California or the United States.  If this Agreement specifies a day or date by which a certain action is to be taken or notice to be given (e.g., the Effective Date, or a specific calendar day), then the action to be taken or notice to be given must be completed by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on such date; provided, however, whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a non-business day, then such period (or date) shall be extended until the immediately following business day.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.  To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a California corporation (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:

1.          Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

2.          Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in Income Tax Regulations section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).

3.          Seller’s U.S. employer identification number is _____________; and

4.          Seller’s office address is ______________________________.

Seller understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Seller.

1.2          Project Rights and Obligations.  For no additional charge, Tenant shall have certain additional non-exclusive rights to use, and certain other rights with respect to, the portions of the Project not comprising the Premises identified in and described on Exhibit B attached hereto.  The Premises and certain non-exclusive rights use areas are depicted on site plans attached as Exhibit C.  In addition, Landlord shall limit any use of the Project (including any renovations of and redevelopment of the portions of the Project not including the Premises) in any manner that would unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of, or access to, the Premises, it being understood that any activities that impair uninterrupted functioning of the [●] (the “[●]”) would be unreasonable interference (“Unreasonable Interference”).

2.2          Extension Right.  Tenant shall have two (2) successive options (each an “Option to Extend”) to extend the Term of this Lease for a period of three (3) months each (each an “Option Period”) as to each space within the Premises, commencing on the day immediately following the Expiration Date of this Lease with respect to the applicable space or the day immediately following the expiration of the prior Option Period, as the case may be, on all the same terms and conditions of the Lease excepting the monthly Base Rent which shall be at two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent for the Premises.  Tenant shall exercise its Option to Extend by giving written notice to Lessor of exercise (the “Exercise Notice”) not less than three (3) months prior to the commencement of the Option Period.
 
3.          Rent.
 
3.1          Base Rent.  Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay monthly base rent (“Base Rent”) during the Term for each portion of the Premises in accordance with Exhibit A.  Tenant shall pay the Base Rent in advance upon the first (1st) day of each calendar month of the Term, without notice, demand or offset, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.  If the Term or a reduction in the Premises commences or ends on a day other than the first (1st) day or last day of a calendar month, as applicable, then Tenant shall pay a pro rata portion of the Base Rent, prorated on a per diem basis.
 
3.2          Additional Rent.
 
3.2.1          All charges required to be paid by Tenant hereunder other than Base Rent shall be referred to as “Additional Rent”.  Tenant shall pay Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of a statement from Landlord, except as otherwise provided in this Lease.  All Additional Rent shall be deemed “rent” or “Rent” hereunder for all purposes, including Landlord’s remedies for non-payment thereof.
 
3.2.2          Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively and collaboratively on the payment of Project operating expenses, it being understood that Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any aggregate expenses above normal and customary aggregate expenses for a tenant leasing premises in size substantially-similar to the Premises for general office purposes in the San Francisco Financial District.

3.2.3          For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise provided for in this Lease (including Section 3.2.2 above), Tenant has no obligation to reimburse Landlord for any expenses of ownership, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project.
 
3.3          Payment to Landlord.  Payments of rents and all other amounts to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be made to Landlord at the address specified in Section 16.3 hereof, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time direct in writing.  All rent shall be paid without prior notice, demand and without right of deduction or offset, except as otherwise provided in this Lease.
 
3.4          Late Charges and Interest.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of the Base Rent or any Additional Rent shall cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease.  Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent is not be paid within three (3) business days after the date that Landlord gives written notice to Tenant of Tenant’s failure to timely pay such sum(s), Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount that is due (“Late Charge”); provided, however, that Landlord shall be required to give notice to Tenant only once per twelve (12) month period and, thereafter, a Late Charge shall accrue if the Rent is not paid within three (3) business days after the date the same is due hereunder.  Landlord and Tenant agree that this Late Charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Lease, including the relationship of the sum to the loss to Landlord that could be reasonably anticipated by such nonpayment by Tenant and the anticipation that proof of actual damages sustained by Landlord would be costly or inconvenient to determine.  Such Late Charge shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law, in equity, or under this Lease.  In addition, any Base Rent or Additional Rent (excluding any Late Charge) not paid within thirty (30) days after the date the same is due hereunder, shall bear interest at the higher of ten percent (10%) or the maximum rate allowable under law (the “Interest Rate”).
 
4.          Insurance.
 
4.1          Tenant’s Insurance Requirements.
 
4.1.1          All Risk; Property Insurance.  Tenant shall procure and maintain during the Term, at its expense, insurance covering Tenant’s personal property from time to time in, on, or at the Premises, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost, and providing protection against events protected under “fire and extended coverage,” as well as against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief.  The proceeds from such insurance shall be used solely for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless this Lease shall cease and terminate under the provisions of Article 9 hereof, whereupon any proceeds of insurance covering Tenant’s leasehold improvements and any alterations or additions to the Premises shall be payable to Tenant.
 
4.1.2          Commercial General Liability Insurance and Umbrella Insurance.  During the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, maintain and carry liability insurance with respect to damage or injury to property or person (including death) occurring on the Premises, or any part thereof, or arising from the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance thereof, or arising directly or indirectly from any act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors.  The liability insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall also insure performance of all of Tenant’s hold harmless and indemnity obligations under this Lease.  Such insurance shall be carried and maintained with a per occurrence limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) primary coverage, which may be satisfied through primary and umbrella coverage.  Such insurance shall be in a Commercial General Liability form providing for blanket contractual liability coverage, broad form property damage coverage, products completed operations, and owner’s protective coverage.  Landlord shall be included as additional insured through a Blanket Additional Insured endorsement.  Such insurance maintained by Tenant shall be issued as primary policy(ies) and not contributing with or in excess of coverage that Landlord may carry.

4.1.3          Self-Insurance.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to fulfill any or all of its insurance obligations under this Lease by self-insurance, provided that the right to self-insure shall only apply so long as Tenant is the original Tenant named in this Lease and is wholly-owned by PG&E Corporation, a company that is publicly traded on the NYSE or, subject to obtaining Landlord’s reasonable approval, Tenant is a Permitted Transferee that maintains a self-insurance program similar to the self-insurance program of the original Tenant named herein with similar regulatory recovery treatment.
 
(b)          Any self-insurance by Tenant shall not result in decreased coverage to Landlord from what would have been provided to Landlord had Landlord been named as additional insured under insurance meeting the requirements of this Section 4.1 underwritten by a third-party insurance carrier.
 
(c)          Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord, and Tenant shall have waived all rights of recovery against Landlord, it’s agents, officers, directors, shareholders or employees for any damage, loss, or injury to the extent the same would have been covered by an insurance policy required under this Lease even if Tenant is self-insuring for all or a portion of such insurance, giving full effect to the waiver of subrogation provisions otherwise contained in this Lease.     
 
4.1.4          Additional Requirements.  Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, prior to delivery of possession of the Premises, and thereafter prior to the expiration of each such policy, memorandum of insurance or a certificate of insurance issued by the insurance carrier of each policy of insurance carried pursuant to this Lease.  The policies provided for or contemplated by Section 4.1 shall name Tenant as the insured and Landlord (and its successors and/or assigns) as additional insured.  To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, all policies provided for in this Section 4.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, or otherwise provide that the policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord, except for non-payment of premium which shall be ten (10) days.  Any blanket insurance policy shall provide for the benefit of the Premises the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Premises in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.1.
 
4.2          Landlord’s Insurance Requirements.  Landlord shall, at all times during the Term of this Lease, procure and continue in full force the following insurance, at its cost:

4.2.2          Commercial General Liability Insurance and Umbrella Insurance.  Commercial General Liability Insurance against bodily injury, personal injury, death and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of any act or omission of Landlord or any of Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors in the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and the Project.  Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis, providing One Million Dollars ($1,000,00.00) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in aggregate.  Such insurance shall cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; and (3) Contractual Liability as defined in the CGL policy.  Landlord shall maintain Excess/ Umbrella Liability insurance in the amount of, no less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) per occurrence and in aggregate covering claims arising out of the ownership use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises, the Project, and all areas appurtenant thereto.
 
4.2.3          Ordinance and Law Insurance.  Ordinance or law coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition (up to ten percent (10%) of building value) and rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Project (full limit per building value) along with any increased cost of construction (up to ten percent (10%) of Project value), in an amount no less than the full replacement value of the Project.
 
4.2.4          Additional Requirements.  Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, prior to delivery of possession of the Premises, and thereafter prior to the expiration of each such policy, memorandum of insurance or a certificate of insurance issued by the insurance carrier of each policy of insurance carried pursuant to this Lease.  The policies provided for or contemplated by Section 4.2 shall name Landlord as the insured and Tenant (and its successors and/or assigns) as additional insured.  Any blanket insurance policy shall provide for the benefit of the Premises the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Premises in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.2.
 
4.3          General Requirements.  All insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be issued by reputable insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California having a rating of at least A-, VIII in the most current issue of “AM Best’s Insurance Guide.”  If either Landlord or Tenant fails to procure or maintain any policy required to be maintained under this Lease by such party, the other party may elect, in addition to all other remedies available to it at law, in equity, or under this Lease, to procure or maintain such policy at the expense of the party required to carry such policy, and the party required to carry such policy shall reimburse the other party therefor upon demand.  Subject to Section 4.4 below, in no event shall the limits of any insurance to be obtained by either party limit the liability of such party under this Lease.  Nothing in this Lease shall prevent Tenant from carrying any of the insurance required of Tenant hereunder in the form of a blanket insurance policy or policies which cover other properties owned or operated by Tenant in addition to the Premises, so long as coverage provided thereunder is thereby not diminished.

4.4          Waiver of Subrogation.
 
4.4.1          Waiver.  Each party, for itself and, without affecting any insurance maintained by such party, on behalf of its insurer, releases and waives any right to recover against the other party, including officers, employees, agents and authorized representatives (whether in contract or tort) of such other party, that arise or result from any and all loss of or damage to any property of the waiving party located within or constituting part of the Premises and the Project, to the extent of amounts payable under a standard ISO Commercial Property insurance policy, or such additional property coverage as the waiving party may carry (with a commercially reasonable deductible), whether or not the party suffering the loss or damage actually carries any insurance, recovers under any insurance or self-insures the loss or damage.  Each party shall have their property insurance policies issued in such form as to waive any right of subrogation as might otherwise exist.  This mutual waiver is in addition to any other waiver or release contained in this Lease. 
 
4.4.2          Waiver in Event of Self-Insurance.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 4.4.1 above, if Tenant self-insures in accordance with Section 4.1.3, then Tenant releases and waives any right to recover against Landlord, including officers, employees, agents and authorized representatives (whether in contract or tort) of Landlord, that arise or result from any and all loss of or damage to any property of Tenant located within or constituting part of the Premises and the Project, to the extent of the waiver contained in Section 4.1.3(c).  This waiver is in addition to any other waiver or release contained in this Lease.

6.1.2          Waiver by Tenant.  Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to property caused by or resulting from any variation, interruption, or failure of utilities due to any cause whatsoever, excepting only the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the breach by Landlord of its obligations under Section 1.2 above with respect to the avoidance of Unreasonable Interference with the functioning of the [●].  Subject only to Section 16.16 below and the prior sentence, no temporary interruption or failure of such services due to accident, strike, or conditions or other similar events shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder.  In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage to the Premises or for any loss, damage or injury to any property therein or thereon occasioned by bursting, rupture, leakage or overflow of any plumbing or other pipes (including, without limitation, water, steam, and/or refrigerant lines), sprinklers, tanks, drains, drinking fountains or washstands, or other similar cause in, above, upon or about the Premises or the Building, except to the extent the same results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the breach by Landlord of its obligations under Section 1.2 above with respect to the avoidance of Unreasonable Interference with the functioning of the [●].
 
6.1.3          No Representations by Landlord.  Landlord makes no representation with respect to the adequacy or fitness of the existing air‑conditioning or ventilation equipment in the Project to maintain temperatures which may be required for, or because of, any equipment of Tenant, and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage in connection therewith.  Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use heat-generating machines, machines other than normal fractional horsepower office machines, equipment or lighting other than Building-Standard (as hereinafter defined) lights in the Premises, which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or increase the water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.1.  If such consent is given, Landlord shall have the right to install supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities in the Premises, including supplementary or additional metering devices, and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, increased wear and tear on existing equipment and other similar charges, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon billing by Landlord.  Tenant shall not use water or heat or air conditioning in excess of that normally supplied by Landlord.  For the purposes hereof, the term “Building-Standard” shall mean the standards in existence as of the Commencement Date.

6.3          Inspection of Premises.  Landlord may, at reasonable times after at least twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency, for which the notice requirement shall be reduced as reasonably appropriate and practicable), enter the Premises to repair the same; provided, however, upon request of Tenant, Landlord shall be accompanied by a representative of Tenant at all times during Landlord’s entry.  Landlord shall conduct such activities in a manner which does not result in Unreasonable Interference.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord be permitted to enter any area maintained as a high security area in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business unless such entry is required in an emergency situation and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to be accompanied by a representative of Tenant during any emergency entry into any area clearly marked as a high-security area.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence a “high security area” shall mean areas of the Premises for which Tenant has imposed a higher level of secured access than the measures instituted to secure general access to the Premises or such Leased Space.
 
6.4          Landlord Self-Help.  In the event Tenant is in default of its obligations under Section 6.1.2 above beyond any applicable notice and cure periods (except in an emergency, in which event no notice shall be required), then, in addition to all other remedies available hereunder or at law or in equity for Tenant’s default, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, enter the Premises, and perform or cause to be performed such repairs on behalf of and at the expense of Tenant.  Landlord may undertake on behalf of and at the expense of Tenant such emergency repairs as Landlord reasonably deems necessary.  All expenses so incurred by Landlord shall be repaid in the form of Additional Rent to be remitted with the next subsequent rent payment.
 
7.          Alterations.
 
7.1          Tenant Alterations.  Tenant may, at any time during the Term and at Tenant’s sole expense, make any improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”); provided that Landlord’s consent shall be required for any Alterations (other than the installation of security systems serving the Premises) that (a) cost more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) on an individual basis or for a series of related Alterations, or (b) affect the building systems or structure.  In addition, without limiting Tenant’s rights as provided herein, Tenant may install or replace without Landlord’s consent such security systems within the Premises and such trade fixtures, furniture and equipment, upon, to or in the interior of the Premises as Tenant deems desirable for the conduct of its business.  Alterations shall be in a good workmanlike manner, in conformity with applicable building codes and without endangering the structural integrity or the value of the Premises.  Landlord shall receive no fee for supervision, profit, overhead or general conditions in connection with the Alterations.  Subject to Section 16.17, Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be required, to remove from the Premises at any time and from time to time, all or any part of its trade fixtures, furniture, equipment, initial improvements, Alterations and signs, provided that Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal.

7.2          Mechanics Liens.  Tenant shall keep the Premises and the balance of the Project free and clear of any and all mechanic’s, materialmen’s and other liens for work or labor done, services performed, or materials, appliances, transportation or power contributed, used or furnished to be used, to or on the order of Tenant.  At all times Tenant shall promptly and fully pay and discharge any and all claims upon which any such lien may or could be based, and Tenant shall hold Landlord, the Premises, all buildings and improvements within which the Premises are located, and the balance of the Project, free and harmless from any and all such liens and claims of liens and suits or other proceedings arising out of work performed, or materials or services furnished, to or on the order of Tenant.  In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law the right but not the obligation to cause same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien.  All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant upon demand.  Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law or that Landlord shall deem proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises and the Project, from mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens.  Tenant shall give to Landlord at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice of commencement of any Alterations, repair or construction on the Premises.

8.4.1          Tenant’s Obligations.  Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, regulations, permit conditions, and requirements of all courts and all federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, departments, commissions, agencies and boards now or hereafter in effect, including, but not limited to, the Americans With Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C.  § 12101 et seq.) and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations and all regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Applicable Laws”) applicable to the Premises and Tenant’s use or occupancy of, or business conducted in, the Premises, and shall maintain the Premises and all portions thereof in compliance with all Applicable Laws; provided, however, Tenant shall not be responsible for making any structural changes to the Premises unless such changes are necessitated by (i) Tenant’s specific manner of use or occupancy of the Premises, or the business conducted by Tenant therein, or (ii) any acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant and Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, tenants, subtenants, licensees, customers and invitees (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) (including any Alterations).  In addition, Tenant shall make all modifications to any portion of the Project outside the Premises (including whether structural or capital in nature), which are necessitated, in whole or in part, by (i) Tenant’s specific manner of use or occupancy of the Premises, or business conducted in, the Premises, or (ii) any acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Parties or Tenant Parties (including any Alterations), or Landlord may elect to perform such modifications at Tenant’s expense.
 
8.4.2          Landlord’s Obligations.  As between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws relating to the Project (other than the Premises), provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not stated to be the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged violation of any Applicable Laws in good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by Applicable Law and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Landlord, after pursuing any appeals or contests as Landlord may so elect, will make at Landlord’s cost and expense, all repairs, additions, alterations or improvements necessary to comply with the terms of any final order or judgment.
 
9.          Damage and Destruction.
 
9.1          Repair Estimate.  If the Premises are damaged by fire, earthquake or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Landlord shall, promptly after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate (the “Damage Notice”) of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.
 
9.2          Tenant’s and Landlord’s Rights to Terminate.  If the Premises is damaged by a Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from accessing the Premises or otherwise conducting its business in the Premises in a manner comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and: (a) Landlord estimates that the damage caused cannot be repaired within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice (or will not be repaired pursuant to Section 9.3), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant; or (b) Landlord estimates that the damage caused cannot be repaired within ninety (90) days after the Damage Notice, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Tenant of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.  In addition, if such a Casualty described in this Section 9.2 occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
 
10


9.3          Repair Obligation.  If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, promptly after such Casualty, begin to repair the Premises and shall proceed with diligence to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or to undertake any repair if it was not required by the terms of this Lease to carry insurance covering such Casualty.
 
9.4          Abatement of Rent.  If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, and provided that such Casualty was not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, then Rent shall be abated for such part of the Premises rendered unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business during the time such part is so unusable, in the proportion that the rentable area contained in the unusable part of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.  If Tenant reasonably determines that continuation of business is not practical pending reconstruction, Rent due and payable hereunder shall abate until reconstruction is completed.
 
10.          Eminent Domain.
 
10.1          Total Condemnation.  If the whole of the Premises is acquired or condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold in lieu of condemnation, for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (collectively, “Condemned”), then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding, and Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination.  Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of any such occurrence.
 
10.2          Partial Condemnation.  If any part of the Premises is partially Condemned, and such partial condemnation renders the Premises unusable for the business of Tenant, as reasonably determined by Tenant, or in the event a substantial portion of the Premises is Condemned, as reasonably determined by Tenant, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding and Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.  If such condemnation is not sufficiently extensive to render the Premises unusable for the business of Tenant as reasonably determined by Tenant, or less than a substantial portion of the Premises is Condemned, then Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to a condition comparable to its condition immediately prior to such condemnation less the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that after the date of such title vesting the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of the portion of the Premises that is not usable for Tenant’s use due to such condemnation.  Landlord shall not be required to expend funds in excess of the awards for such restoration.

10.3          Landlord’s Award.  If the Premises are wholly or partially Condemned, then Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such condemnation, and Tenant waives any right or claim to any part thereof from Landlord.  Tenant may obtain a separate award from the condemning authority so long as the award to Tenant does not diminish the award to Landlord.
 
11.          Default.
 
11.1          Events of Tenant Default.  The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” on the part of Tenant:
 
11.1.1          Payment.  Failure to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other amount due and payable by Tenant under this Lease, which failure continues for three (3) business days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant that said payment is overdue; provided, however, that Landlord shall be required to give notice to Tenant only once per twelve (12) month period and, thereafter, an Event of Default shall occur if the Base Rent, Additional Rent or other amount due and payable by Tenant is not paid within three (3) business days after the date the same is due; or
 
11.1.2          Performance.  Material default in the performance of any of Tenant’s other covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder continuing for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the cure of any such default cannot reasonably be completed within such thirty (30) day period, there shall be no Event of Default so long as Tenant commences to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period, diligently prosecutes said cure to completion, and actually completes the cure within sixty (60) days after such written notice; or
 
11.1.3          Bankruptcy.  A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, the liquidation of Tenant, or any action or proceeding commenced by Tenant under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Act or any such action commenced against Tenant and not discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of commencement; or
 
11.2          Landlord’s Remedies.  In the event of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, at its option, enforce the provisions of this Lease and protect the rights of Landlord hereunder by an action or actions at law or in equity, including without limitation actions for damages, declaratory relief, specific performance or injunctive relief, and, specifically including, without limitation, the following:
 
11.2.1          Terminate this Lease and re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or hereunder; or
 
11.2.2          Without terminating this Lease, re-enter the Premises and occupy the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant in which event Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations); and

12

 
11.2.3          Even though Landlord may have re-entered the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord may thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Premises.
 
If Landlord re-enters the Premises under the provisions of Section 11.2.2 above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or the liability of Tenant to pay rent thereafter to accrue, or its liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof, by any such re-entry or by any action in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises, unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease, and the service by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the State and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not (unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time or at any time subsequent to the serving of such notices and such election be evidenced by a written notice to tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this Lease.  In the event of any entry or taking possession of the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove therefrom all or any part of the personal property located therein and may place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant.
 
If Landlord re-enters as provided above and does not elect to terminate this Lease, then Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord deems advisable.  If Landlord elects to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; second, to the payment of the cost of any required alterations and repairs to the Premises; third, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Base Rent and Additional Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord; and fourth, to the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same becomes due and payable hereunder.  Should the portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord.  Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
 
If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease under the above provisions of this Section 11.2, Landlord may recover from Tenant as damages:
 
(a)          the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
 
(b)          the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

13

 
(c)          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; plus
 
(d)          any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default, preparing the Premises for such reletting, leasing commissions, or any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus
 
(e)          at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as is permitted from time to time under State law.
 
As used in subsections (a) and (b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate.  As used in subsection (c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the then existing discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank, San Francisco, California, plus one percent (1%).
 
11.3          Landlord’s Default.  The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” on the part of Landlord:
 
11.3.1          Payment.  Failure to pay any amount due and payable by Landlord under this Lease, which failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord that said payment is overdue; or
 
11.3.2          Performance.  Material default in the performance of any of Landlord’s other covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder continuing for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; provided that if the cure of any such default cannot reasonably be completed within such thirty (30) day period, there shall be no Event of Default so long as Landlord commences to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes said cure to completion.
 
11.4          Tenant’s Remedies.
 
11.4.1          Tenant’s Remedies.  In the event of an Event of Default by Landlord, Tenant may enforce the provisions of this Lease and protect the rights of Tenant hereunder by an action or actions at law or in equity, including without limitation actions for damages, declaratory relief, specific performance or injunctive relief.  Tenant shall not have the right based on such Event of Default to terminate this Lease or to withhold, offset or abate rent, unless pursuant to an express provision in this Lease.
 
11.4.2          Tenant’s Self-Help.  If Landlord shall default in the observance or performance of its obligations under Section 6.1, and if Tenant’s ability to use and occupy the Premises is materially impaired as a result thereof, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Landlord (such period shall be extended if Landlord is using good faith, diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such default) or such shorter period, if any, as Tenant may reasonably determine to be appropriate in case of an emergency involving an imminent threat to life or property, then, except in the event of such an emergency, Tenant shall deliver a second notice to Landlord (such written notice to expressly state Tenant’s intention to exercise its rights under this Section 11.4.2), and if Landlord does not commence required repairs or commence such other actions within ten (10) business days thereafter as required to remedy such default, then Tenant, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may remedy such default on behalf of Landlord.  Promptly following completion of any work undertaken by Tenant pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall deliver a detailed invoice of the work completed, the materials used and the reasonable costs relating thereto, an assignment of any and all warranties relating to such work, and an unconditional final lien waiver and release regarding such work.  If Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of such invoice and documentation from Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, or seek reimbursement from Landlord, the amount set forth in such invoice, commencing with the Rent first due and payable at least forty-five (45) days after Tenant’s delivery of such invoice.  If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable detail Landlord’s good faith reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Tenant pursuant to this Lease or that the charges are unreasonable (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would have been reasonable), then Tenant shall not then be entitled to such deduction from Rent, or reimbursement by Landlord, but, rather, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.21 hereof.


14

 
11.5          Exculpation.
 
11.5.1          Landlord.  In the event that Landlord is liable to Tenant for damage sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s breach, it is expressly understood and agreed that any money judgment resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease shall be satisfied only out of Landlord’s interest in the Project, and no other property of Landlord shall be subject to levy on any such judgment obtained against Landlord.  For purposes of this Section 11.5 only, the term “Landlord” means any and all partners, both general or limited, or both, if any, which comprise Landlord.
 
11.5.2          Tenant.  Landlord shall look solely to Tenant for any default by Tenant under this Lease or for the recovery of any judgment arising in connection herewith or with Tenant’s operation, repair, alteration of the Premises or any other matter relating to the Premises.  None of the Tenant Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and Landlord hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Landlord.  The limitations of liability contained in this Section 11.5 shall inure to the benefit of Tenant and the Tenant Parties’ present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns.  Under no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Tenant (if Tenant is a partnership), or trustee or beneficiary (if Tenant or any partner of Tenant is a trust), have any liability for the performance of Tenant obligations under this Lease.


15

 
12.          Assignment and Subletting.
 
12.1          Landlord’s Consent.  Except as permitted in Section 12.2 below, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises (or any portion thereof) (each, a “Transfer”) to any party (a “Transferee”) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord shall deliver notice to Tenant indicating whether or not Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer within thirty (30) days after any written request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent thereto; provided, however, if Landlord does not respond to Tenant’s request for consent within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to Tenant’s Transfer.
 
12.2          Permitted Transfers.
 
12.2.1          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.1 above, the provisions of this Article 12 shall not apply to (i) the transfer of stock in Tenant so long as Tenant’s parent is a publicly traded corporation, the stock of which is listed on a national stock exchange or over the counter stock exchange, or (ii) the issuance of stock in Tenant or Tenant’s parent in a public offering or pursuant to the terms of a confirmed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization or (iii) transfers of equity interests in Tenant.
 
12.2.2          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord’s consent shall not be required in connection with any assignment, sublease or shared occupancy to or with: (i) an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant; (ii) an entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated; (iii) an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (iv) an entity which acquires control of Tenant, or (v) any successor entity to Tenant by way of merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization of Tenant, including a so-called spin off; provided that the (1) the proposed transferee’s use of the Premises shall be the Permitted Use; and (2) in the case of an assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the assignment, an agreement evidencing the assignment and assumption by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  With respect to any transfer meeting the conditions set forth in Section 12.2.1 or this Section 12.2.2, such transfer shall be a “Permitted Transfer” and the resultant transferee shall be a “Permitted Transferee”.  Each Permitted Transferee shall be entitled to all options, signage and other rights and privileges granted by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease as if such Permitted Transferee were the original Tenant hereunder.
 
12.3          Terms of Transfer.  Any Transfer shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, except to the extent otherwise agreed by Landlord in writing.  The acceptance of any rent or other sum due hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any term, covenant, or condition hereof, from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to any Transfer.  Consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent Transfer.  If any Transferee of Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing any rights or remedies against any such Transferee.  Each Transferee acquiring Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be conclusively deemed, without the necessity of any further agreement, and for the express benefit of Landlord, to have assumed all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and to have agreed to be bound by, and obligated to perform, each and all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Tenant under this Lease.  Each such Transferee shall, upon the request of Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord such documents as are reasonable required to further evidence the foregoing assumption and agreement.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees not to exceed $1,500 incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent.

16

 
13.          Estoppel Certificate; Attornment and Subordination; Quiet Enjoyment.
 
13.1          Estoppel Certificate.  Within twenty (20) days after request therefor by either party, the other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a reasonable estoppel certificate certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that the other party is not in default (or stating how any of the foregoing is not true) and certifying the dates to which rental or other sums due hereunder have been paid in advance.
 
13.2          Attornment.  In the event of any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure under any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises or the Project, or any part thereof, or in the event of a termination of a ground lease, if any, Tenant shall, if so requested, attorn to the purchaser, grantee or ground lessor (collectively, “Successor”) and recognize such Successor as the Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation to so attorn to any Successor is expressly conditioned upon Tenant’s prior receipt from such Successor of a commercially reasonable nondisturbance agreement whereby the Successor agrees that so long as Tenant pays the rent due and performs all other obligations under this Lease, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed (a “Nondisturbance Agreement”).
 
13.3          Subordination.  The rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be, at the election of the mortgagee (a “Mortgagee”), subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other method of financing in force against the Premises and/or Project as of the Commencement Date (“Mortgage”), and to all advances made upon the security thereof, provided that, a condition precedent to Tenant’s foregoing agreement to subordinate this Lease shall be that Tenant receives a Nondisturbance Agreement.  Tenant further agrees to enter into a Nondisturbance Agreement with any future holder of a Mortgage upon reasonable request.
 
13.4          Quiet Enjoyment.  Landlord covenants with Tenant that so long as no Event of Default on the part of Tenant has occurred hereunder, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises and the nonexclusive use of the common areas and the other portions of the Project as set forth in Exhibit B and Exhibit C for the Term or applicable portion thereof, and that neither Landlord nor any party claiming under or through Landlord shall disturb such use or the occupancy by Tenant, and Landlord shall defend Tenant’s right to such use and occupancy.
 
14.          Brokerage Commission.  Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that no broker or finder, including, without limitation, CBRE, Inc., a Delaware corporation, can properly claim a right to a commission or a finder’s fee based upon contacts between the claimant and the representing party with respect to this Lease or the Premises.  Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party) and hold the other party harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs, resulting from any claim for a fee or commission by any broker or finder claiming through the indemnifying party in connection with the Premises or this Lease.


17

 
15.          Environmental Matters.
 
15.1          Landlord Indemnity.  Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant and expert fees, any and all costs incurred due to any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, or restoration mandated by a federal, state, or local agency or political subdivision) arising during or after the Term from or in connection with the presence or suspected presence of Hazardous Materials in or on the Project, which are present solely as a result of the acts or omissions of Landlord, Landlord’s agents, employees, or contractors.  This indemnification shall specifically include any and all costs due to Hazardous Materials that flow, diffuse, migrate, or percolate into, onto or under the Project after the Term commences, except to the extent the foregoing was the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents or was proportionately caused, exacerbated or permitted by Tenant or its agents or contractors.
 
15.2          Tenant Indemnity.  Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant and expert fees, any and all costs incurred due to any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, or restoration mandated by a federal, state, or local agency or political subdivision) arising during or after the Term from or in connection with the presence or suspected presence of Hazardous Materials in or on the Project, which are present solely as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees, or contractors during and after the Term, except to the extent the foregoing was the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or was proportionately caused, exacerbated or permitted by Landlord or its agents or contractors.
 
15.3          Compliance with Environmental Laws.  If Landlord shall commence the redevelopment or reconstruction of the Project during the Term, then Landlord shall comply with all Environmental Laws (defined below) relating to industrial hygiene, environmental protection, and the use, analysis, generation, emission, manufacture, storage, disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Material in, on, under or about the Project, in connection with such redevelopment or reconstruction.  Tenant shall at all times and in all respects comply with all Environmental Laws relating to industrial hygiene, environmental protection, and the use, analysis, generation, emission, manufacture, storage, disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises except for the use of general office supplies within the Premises of a kind typically used in normal office areas in the ordinary course of business (such as copier toner, correction fluid, glue, ink and cleaning solvents) that are at all times and in all respects used, maintained and stored in accordance with all Environmental Laws (defined below).  As used in this Lease, the term “Environmental Laws” means applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations relating to any Hazardous Material affecting the Premises, whether in effect as of the date hereof or hereafter enacted including, without limitation, Proposition 65 of the State of California, California Assembly Bill 3713 and the laws, ordinances and regulations referred to above and the term and  “Hazardous Materials” shall mean those substances included within the definitions of “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials,” “toxic substances” “solid waste” or “infectious waste” under Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, asbestos, chlorinated solvents and petroleum products.

18

 
16.          General Provisions.
 
16.1          Holding Over.  If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, or any earlier termination of this Lease with the consent of Landlord (any such portion of the Premises being the “Holdover Premises”), Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Holdover Premises as a month-to-month tenant, at a monthly rental equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the rent payable during the last month of the Term.  If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease without the consent of Landlord, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance only, with Base Rent for the Holdover Premises equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the Base Rent in effect for such Holdover Premises immediately prior to such expiration or termination, and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants, and conditions specified in this Lease.  Acceptance by Landlord of rent after any written demand by Landlord to surrender the Holdover Premises shall not result in a renewal of this Lease or waiver of any default or circumstances of termination.
 
16.2          Mutual Consequential Damages Waiver.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligations on Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, consequential damages.
 
16.3          Notices.  All notices required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and mailed postage prepaid by certified or registered mail or licensed courier service, return receipt requested, or by personal delivery, to the appropriate address(es) indicated in this Section 16.3, or at such other place or places as either Landlord or Tenant may, from time to time, designate in a written notice given to the other.  Notices shall be deemed sufficiently served three (3) days after the date of mailing thereof, or upon personal delivery.  The addresses for proper notice under this Lease are as follows:

16.4          Successors Bound.  This Lease and each of its covenants and conditions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns, subject to the provisions hereof.  Whenever in this Lease a reference is made to Landlord or Tenant, such reference shall be deemed to refer to the person in whom the interest of Landlord or Tenant shall be vested.  Any successor or assignee of Landlord or Tenant who accepts an assignment or the benefit of this Lease and enters into possession or enjoyment hereunder shall thereby assume and agree to perform and be bound by the covenants and conditions thereof.

20

 
16.5          Waiver.  No waiver of any default or breach of any covenant by either party hereunder shall be implied from any omission by either party to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the waiver.  Waivers of any covenant, term or condition contained herein by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition.  The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by either party requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary its consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts.  No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be binding unless evidenced by a writing signed by the parties hereto.
 
16.6          Time.  Time is of the essence of every provision hereof.  If any date set forth for the performance of any obligation or for the delivery of any instrument or notice should be on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, compliance with such obligations or delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.  As used herein, the term “legal holiday” means any state or federal holiday for which Tenant is closed for observance thereof.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all references to days shall mean calendar days.
 
16.7          Attorneys’ Fees.  In any action or proceeding by Landlord or Tenant to enforce its rights hereunder, the unsuccessful party therein shall pay all costs incurred by the prevailing party therein, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be fixed by the court, and said costs and attorneys’ fees shall be made a part of the judgment in said action.
 
16.8          Construction.  This Lease shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Landlord and Tenant have been independently represented and have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Lease.  The captions and section numbers appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of such sections of this Lease nor in any way affect this Lease.
 
16.9          Severability.  If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
 
16.10          Applicable Law.  This Lease, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
 
16.11          Consent.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, whenever either party’s consent or approval is required under the terms of this Lease, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If either party withholds its consent or approval, then such failure to consent or approve shall only be effective if accompanied by the reasons for failing to consent or approve.

21

 
16.12          Agreements in Writing.  It is expressly agreed that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto, nor any agent, employee or representative acting or purporting to act on behalf of either of the parties hereto, affecting this Lease, and that this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto.  It is further agreed by and between the parties hereto that there shall be no modification or amendment of this Lease except as executed in writing between the parties hereto.
 
16.13          Authority.  Each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord or Tenant represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the party for whom he or she is signing, and that this Lease is binding upon the party for whom he or she is signing in accordance with its terms.
 
16.14          Sale of Premises.  The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease shall mean the owner of Landlord’s interest and estate in and to the Premises or any property of which the Premises are a part.  If Landlord’s interest and estate in and to the Premises is transferred by Landlord, Landlord shall be entirely freed, relieved and discharged of all liabilities and obligations under this Lease to the extent arising after the date of such transfer, and the transferee shall conclusively be deemed, without the necessity of any further agreement or acknowledgement from the transferee, to have assumed all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of Landlord arising under this Lease at any time after such transfer.  Landlord shall deliver to Landlord’s transferee all funds previously paid by Tenant to the extent such funds have not been applied under the terms of this Lease.

24


16.21.2          Either party may seek equitable relief to preserve the status quo prior to participating in the negotiation and mediation proceedings required pursuant to this Section 16.21.  In addition, the following matters are excluded from mandatory negotiation and mediation hereunder: (i) an unlawful detainer action based upon a monetary Event of Default; and (ii) any matter that is within the jurisdiction of probate, small claims, or bankruptcy court.
 
16.21.3          The provisions of this Section 16.21 may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against which enforcement is ordered.  The covenants of Landlord and Tenant contained in this Section 16.21 shall survive the termination of this Lease.
 
16.21.4          Nothing contained herein shall enable either party to compel the other party to submit any dispute to arbitration and neither party shall be required to submit a dispute to arbitration prior to commencing an action with respect to a claim or dispute covered by this Section 16.21 so long as such party first complies with terms and conditions of this Section 16.21.
 
16.22          Joint and Several Liability.  If more than one person or entity executes this Lease as Landlord each of them is and shall be jointly and severally liable for the covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Landlord.
