2


provided (“Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then the Term of this Lease shall be measured from the first day of the month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.

 

4. POSSESSION.

 

  (a) Delivery of Possession. Landlord agrees to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon the substantial completion of the Tenant improvements as determined by Landlord’s architect or space planner in accordance with the terms of this Lease and the SETIA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant until Landlord has received from Tenant all of the following: (i) executed copies of policies of insurance or certificates thereof as required under Paragraph 18 of this Lease; and (ii) copies of all governmental permits and authorizations required in connection with Tenant’s operation of its business upon the Premises. See Addendum Paragraph 3

 

  (b) * Late Delivery. * See Addendum Paragraph 4

 

  (c) * Condition of Premises. * See Addendum Paragraph 5

 

5. RENT.

 

  (a) Basic Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as Annual Basic Rent for the Premises the Annual Basic Rent designated in Subparagraph 1(k) (adjusted as hereinafter provided) in twelve (12) equal monthly installments as designated in Subparagraph 1(j), each in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term. If the Term of this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the rent for such periods shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such periods bears to thirty (30), and such rent shall be paid at the commencement of such period. In addition to the Annual Basic Rent, Tenant agrees to pay additional rent as provided in Paragraph 6 and the amount of all rental adjustments as and when hereinafter provided in this Lease. The Annual Basic Rent, any additional rent payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and any rental adjustments shall be paid to Landlord, without any prior demand therefor, and without any deduction or offset whatsoever in lawful money of the United States of America, which shall be legal tender at the time of payment, at the address of Landlord designated in Subparagraph 1(e) or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Further, all charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, payments for real property taxes, insurance, repairs, and parking, if any, shall be considered additional rent for the purpose of this Lease, and the word “rent” in this Lease shall include such additional rent unless the context specifically or clearly implies that only the Annual Basic Rent is referenced. Annual Basic Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Subparagraph 1(I). A rent payment schedule is set forth in Addendum Paragraph 6.

 

  (b) Late Payment. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received Within 10 days of when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 5%, of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the then maximum lawful rate permitted to be charged by Landlord. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of $25.00.

Accordingly, during each year of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on a monthly basis additional rent in accordance with that portion of Tenant’s share of Expenses related to the Project which is in excess of Tenant’s share of Expenses related to the Project established for the Base Year shown in Subparagraph 1(m) prorated on a monthly basis.

  2. All maintenance, management, janitorial, legal, accounting, insurance, and service agreement costs related to the Project, including project management office rental costs and a management administration fee in an amount equal to 4.5% of expenses (excluding salary, overhead and other costs exclusively attributable to the operations of landlord’s property manager).

 

  3. All maintenance, replacement and repair costs relating to the areas within or around the Project, including, without limitation, air conditioning systems, sidewalks, landscaping, service areas, driveways, parking areas (including resurfacing and restriping parking areas), walkways, building exteriors (including painting), signs and directories, repairing and replacing roofs, walls, etc. These costs may be included either based on actual expenditures or the use of an accounting reserve based on past, cost experience for the Project;

 

  4. Without double counting items in paragraph 3, the following: Amortization (along with reasonable financing charges) of capital replacements made to the Project which may be required by any government authority or which will improve the operating efficiency of the Project (provided, however, that the amount of such amortization for improvements not mandated by government authority shall not exceed in any year the amount of costs reasonably determined by Landlord in its sole discretion to have been saved by the expenditure either through the reduction or minimization of increases which would have otherwise occurred); and

 

  5. Real Property Taxes including all taxes, assessments (general and special) and other impositions or charges which may be taxed, charged, levied, assessed or imposed with respect to any calendar year or part thereof included within the term upon all or any portion of or in relation to the Project or any portion thereof, any leasehold estate in the Premises or measured by rent from the Premises, including any increase caused by the transfer, sale or encumbrance of the Project or any portion thereof. “Real Property Taxes” shall also include any form of assessment, levy, penalty, charge or tax (other than estate, inheritance, net income or franchise taxes) imposed by any authority having a direct or indirect power to tax or charge, including, without limitation, any city, county, state, federal or any improvement or other district, whether such tax is: (1) determined by the area of the Project or the rent or other sums payable under this Lease; (2) upon or with respect to any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project or any part thereof: (3) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating a transfer in any interest in the Project; (4) in lieu of or as a direct substitute in whole or in part of or in addition to any real property taxes on the Project; (5) based on any parking spaces or parking facilities provided in the Project; or (6) in consideration for services, such as police protection, fire protection, street, sidewalk and roadway maintenance, refuse removal or other services that may be provided by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency from time to time which were formerly provided without charge or with less charge to property owners or occupants. See Addendum Paragraph 6.5

 

  (b) Annual Estimate of Expenses. At the commencement of each calendar year, Landlord shall estimate Tenant’s share of Expenses for the coming year based on the Premises Percent of Project set forth in Subparagraph 1(h), Within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Base Year. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement setting forth the actual Expenses for the Project for the Base Year and Tenant’s share thereof based on the Premises Percent of Project set forth in Subparagraph 1(h).

 

  (c) Monthly Payment of Expenses. If Tenant’s portion of said estimate of Expenses for the forthcoming calendar year is greater than Tenant’s portion of the Expenses established for the Base Year shown in Subparagraph 1(m), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, such estimated excess in monthly installments of one-twelfth (1/12) of such total excess amount beginning on January 1 of the forthcoming calendar year, and one-twelfth (1/12) of such total excess amount on the first day of each succeeding calendar month. As soon as practical following each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare an accounting of actual Expenses incurred during the prior calendar year and such accounting shall reflect Tenant’s share of Expenses. If the additional rent paid by Tenant under this Subparagraph _(c) during the preceding calendar year was less than the actual amount of Tenant’s share of Expenses, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Such amount shall be deemed to have accrued during the prior calendar year and shall be due and payable from Tenant even though the Term of this Leases has expired or this Lease has been terminated prior to Tenant’s receipt of this notice. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to contest the amount due; failure to so notify Landlord shall represent final determination of Tenant’s share of Expenses. If Tenant’s payments were greater than the actual amount, then such overpayment shall be credited by Landlord to ____ present rent due under this Lease.

Provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Landlord agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the utilities and services described in the Standards for Utilities and Services, attached hereto as Exhibit H and incorporated herein by this reference, subject to the conditions and in accordance with the standards set forth therein. Landlord’s failure to furnish any of such utilities and services when such failure is caused by (i) accident, breakage or repairs; (ii) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any such character; (iii) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (iv) inability despite the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water or fuel; or (v) any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, shall not result in any liability to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent, no eviction of Tenant shall result, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of any such failure unless these shall be an uninterrupted failure to provide any and all utilities for three or more business days due to the gross negligence or wilfull misconduct of Landlord.

If Tenant requires or utilizes more water or electrical power than is reasonable or normal for similar tenants in similar projects Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to pay, as additional rent, the cost, as fairly determined by Landlord, incurred by such extraordinary usage. In addition, Landlord may install separate meter(s) for the Premises, at Tenant’s sole expense, and Tenant thereafter shall pay all charges of the utility providing services. * See Addendum Paragraph 10

 

15. MAINTENANCE.

Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term hereof, surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as when received ordinary wear and tear excepted Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof and the parties hereto affirm that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building except as specifically herein set forth.

 

Anything contained in this Paragraph 15 to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building, including the basic plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and electrical systems installed or furnished by Landlord; provided, however, the cost of all such maintenance shall be considered “Expenses” for the purposes of Subparagraph 6(a), unless such maintenance and repairs are caused in whole or in part by the act, neglect, fault of or omission of any duty by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Paragraph 19 hereof there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein except if caused by gross negligence or wilfull misconduct of Landlord. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

 

16. ALTERATIONS.

 

Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises, or to the Project, including any changes to the existing landscaping, without Landlord’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably witheld. If Landlord gives its consent to such alterations, Landlord may post notices in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. Any alterations made shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises upon expiration of the Term, except that Landlord may, within 30 days before or 30 days after expiration of the Term, elect to require Tenant to remove any alterations which Tenant may have made to the Premises. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall, at its own cost, restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election, before the last day of the Term or within 30 days after notice of its election is given, whichever is later.

 

Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant’s alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract with a contractor approved by Landlord for the construction of such alterations, shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such alterations with due diligence in compliance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and in compliance with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations. All such construction shall be performed in a manner which will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of other tenants of the Project. Tenant shall pay all costs for such construction and shall keep the Premises and the Project free and clear of all mechanics’ liens which may result from construction by Tenant.

17. RELEASE AND INDEMNITY.

 

As material consideration to Landlord, Tenant agrees that Landlord and its agents and employees shall not be liable to Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees and other persons claiming under Tenant for: (i) any damage to any property entrusted to employees of the Project, (ii) loss or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, (iii) consequential damages arising out of any loss of the use of the Premises or any equipment or facilities therein; or (iv) any injury or damage to person or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Project or from pipes, appliances or plumbing work therein or from the roof, street, sub-surface or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and its employees or agents. Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for interference with light or other corrosive hereditaments, nor shall Landlord be liable for any latest defects in the Premises or the Project. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Project, and of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment located therein.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnity, defend (with counsel satisfactory to Landlord) and hold harmless Landlord, its agents, successors in interest with respect to the Building and their directors, officers, partners, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives and the directors, officers, partners, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives of the partners of Landlord from (i) all claims, actions, liabilities, and proceedings arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises or the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees, in or about the Premises, the Building, or the Project and any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant, or of its agents, contractors, employees or invitees, and (ii) any and all costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred with respect to any such claims, actions, liabilities, or proceedings, and in the event any actions or proceedings shall be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claims. Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel approved in writing by Landlord unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to person in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever except that which is caused by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease where such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of time after Landlord receives written notice of such and Tenant hereby waives all its claims in respect thereof against Landlord.

 

As used herein, the term “liabilities” shall include all suits, actions, claims and demands and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of defense) incurred in or about any such liability and any action or proceeding brought thereon. If any claim shall be made or any action or proceeding brought against Landlord on the basis of any liability described in this Paragraph, Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. It is understood that payment shall not be a condition precedent to recovery upon the foregoing indemnity.

 

* See Addendum Paragraph 12

 

18. INSURANCE.

 

Tenant, at its cost, shall pay for and keep in full force and effect:

 

  (a) COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL LIABILITY OR COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY insurance with respect to the Premises and the operations on or on behalf of Tenant, in, on or about the Premises, including, but not limited to, personal injury, product liability (if applicable), ____ contractual, owner’s protective, broad form property damage liability, liquor liability (if applicable) and owned and non-owned automobile liability is an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. The insurance policy or policies shall contain the following provisions (1) severability of interest, (2) an endorsement naming Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagees and the property manager as additional insurance, (3) with respect to improvements or alterations permitted under this Lease, contingent liability and builder’s risk insureds, and (4) coverage must be on an “occurrence basis”. “Claims-Made” forms are not acceptable.

 

  (b) WORKERS COMPENSATION COVERAGE as required by law, and other employer coverages as required by law.

 

  (c) TENANT’S PROPERTY INSURANCE: Tenant shall at all times during the Term hereof and at its cost and expense, maintain in effect policies of insurance covering (1) all Tenant improvements on the Premises installed by Tenant, and (2) all personal property of Tenant located in or at the Premises including, but not limited to, fixtures, furnishings, equipment and furniture, in an amount not less than their full replacement value, and these policies shall provide protection against any peril included within the classification “All Risk” including, but not limited to, insurance against vandalism and malicious mischief. The proceeds of such insurance shall be used to repair or replace the tenant improvements and personal property so insured.

 

All policies of insurance required under Paragraph 18 (c) shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured before the occurrence of injury or loss, if same are obtainable without unreasonable cost. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any rights of recovery against the other for injury or loss to such waiving party or to its property or the property of others under its control, arising from any cause insured against under any policy of insurance required to be carried by such waiving party under this Lease. The foregoing waiver shall be effective whether or not the waiving party shall actually obtain and maintain the insurance which such waiving party is obligated to obtain and maintain under this Lease.

 

All insurance required to be provided by Tenant under this Lease: (a) shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Premises are located and holding a General Policyholders Rating of A- and a Financial Rating of “X” or better, as set forth in the most recent edition of Best’s Insurance Reports; (b) shall contain an endorsement requiring at least 30 days prior written notice to Landlord and Landlord’s lender, before cancellation on material change in coverage, scope or amount of any policy. Tenant shall deliver a certificate or copy of such policy together with evidence of payment of all current premiums to Landlord within 30 days of execution of this Lease and within fifteen (15) days of expiration of each policy. Tenant’s

 

8


failure to provide evidence of such coverage to Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, constitute a default under this Lease.

 

Landlord shall insure the Building (excluding all property which tenants of the Building are obligated to insure) against damage with “All Risk” insurance and public liability insurance, all in such amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord considers appropriate. The cost of any insurance required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder shall be included as part of “Expenses” under Subparagraph 6(            ). Notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any insurance policies carried by Landlord. * See Addendum Paragraph 13

 

19. DESTRUCTION.

 

If during the Term of this Lease, any portion of the Premises, access to the Premises or any part of the Building which is essential to the use of the Premises is damaged or destroyed and such damage or destruction can, in Landlord’s reasonable estimation, be repaired within 180 days following such damage or destruction, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall promptly commence to repair and restore the damage or destruction to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such damage and shall complete such repair and restoration with due diligence compliance with all then existing laws. If (1) such damage or destruction cannot, in Landlord’s reasonable estimation, be repaired within 180 days following such damage or destruction; or (2) more than forty percent (40%) of the Building is damaged or destroyed (regardless of its impact on the Premises); or (3) any mortgages of the Building will not allow the application of insurance proceeds for repair and restoration; or (4) the damage or destruction is not covered in full by Landlord’s insurance required by Paragraph 18, or (5) the damage or destruction occurs within the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease or any extension hereof, then Landlord may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Lease by delivery of notice to Tenant within 30 days of the date Landlord _______ of the damage.

 

In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration by Landlord as herein provided, the rent payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration; provided that there shall be no abatement of rent if such damage is the result of Tenant’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss in the use of the whole or any part of the Premises, damage to Tenant’s Personal Property and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration, provided, however, that Landlord shall, use reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s use of the premises during normal business hours consistent with any construction effort. If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord shall be obligated to make repair or restoration only to those portions of the Building and the Premises which were originally provided at Landlord’s expense, and the repair and restoration of items not provided at Landlord’s expense shall be the obligation of Tenant. Tenant agrees to coordinate the restoration and repair of those items it is required to restore or repair with Landlord’s repair and restoration work and in coordination with a work schedule prepared by Landlord, or Landlord’s contractor. Further, Tenant’s work shall be performed in accordance with the terms, standards and conditions contained in Paragraph 16 above.

 

The provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4, and any other similarly enacted statute or court decision relating to the abatement or termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased premises, are hereby waived by Tenant; and the provisions of the Paragraph 19 shall govern in case of such destruction.

 

20. CONDEMNATION.

 

  (a) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply: (1) “Condemnation” means (a) the exercise of any government power of eminent domain, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise by condemnor and (b) the voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are proceeding; (2) “Date of Taking” means the date the condemnor has the right to possession of the property being condemned; (3) “Award” means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation; and (4) “Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having a power of condemnation.

 

  (b) Obligations to be Governed by Lease. If during the Term of this Lease there is any taking of all or any part of the Premises or the Project, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined pursuant to this Lease.

 

  (c) Total or Partial Taking. If the Premises are totally taken by condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking. If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant can elect to terminate this Lease if the remaining portion of the Premises is rendered unsuitable for Tenant’s continued use of the Premises. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant must exercise its right to terminate by giving notice to Landlord within 30 days after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined, or within such other time as Landlord is required to respond to the condemning authority. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than 30 days nor later than 90 days after Tenant has notified Landlord of its election to terminate; except that this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking if the date of taking falls on a date before the date of termination as designated by Tenant. If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease remains in full force and effect, on the date of taking the rent shall be reduced by an amount in the same ratio as the total number of rentable square feet in the portion of the Premises taken bears to the total number of rentable square feet in the Premises immediately before the date of taking. In the case where a portion of the Premises is taken and the Lease remains in full force and effect, Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, make all alterations or repairs to the Premises so as to make the portion of the Premises not taken a complete architectural unit. Such work shall not, however, exceed the scope of work done by Landlord in originally constructing the Premises. Any work shall maintain the project as a first class office building. If any portion of the Building other than the Premises is taken and in Landlord’s reasonable opinion the Building should be restored in a manner that materially alters the Premises, or if severance damages from the condemning authority are not available to Landlord in sufficient amounts to permit such restoration, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. Monthly Basic Rent due and payable hereunder shall be temporarily abated during such restoration period in proportion to the degree to which there is substantial interference with Tenant’s use of Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord or Landlord’s architect. Each party hereby waives the provisions of Section 12__, 130 of the California Code of Civil Procedures and any present or future law allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Building or Premises.

 

If the Premises are totally or partially taken by condemnation, Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking, except moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of the award without any deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; in that event, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligations under the Lease.

21. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE.

 

No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary assignment through operation of law (including, without limitation, the transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) If Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt; or if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one person or entry, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (b) If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or (c) If in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, In which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant. See Addendum Paragraph 13.5

 

22. DEFAULT.

 

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (a) A failure to pay rent or any other charge when due: (b) Abandonment of the Premises (failure to occupy and operate the Premises for 90 consecutive days shall be deemed an abandonment): (c) The making by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease (“Guarantor”) of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filling by or against Tenant or any Guarantor of a petition to have Tenant or such Guarantor adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or a Guarantor, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or of substantially all of Guarantor’s assets, where possession is not restored to Tenant or such Guarantor, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days; the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such secure is not discharged within (30) days; or if this Lease shall, by operation of law or otherwise, pass to any person or persons other than Tenant except as provided in Paragraph 21 herein; (d) The failure of Tenant to timely comply with the provisions of Paragraph 28 or Paragraph 33 of this Lease regarding, respectively, Subordination and Estoppel Certificates; or (e) The failure of Tenant to perform any other provision of this Lease.

 

23. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.

 

Landlord shall have the remedies described in this Paragraph 23 if Tenant is in default. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.

 

Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to _____ the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver or Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. Upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (1) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination of Tenant’s right to possession; (2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after the date of termination of Tenant’s right to possession until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have reasonably been avoided; (3) 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; (4) Any other amount, including court, attorney and collection costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default. “The worth”, as used for Items (1) and (2) in this Paragraph 23 is to be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of 12% of the maximum rate an individual is permitted to charge by law. “The worth” as used for item (3) in this Paragraph 23 is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of termination plus one percent (1%).

 

10


In the event of any default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant or disposed of in a reasonable manner by Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

24. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.

 

Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform the obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, or the lessor of any underlying or ground lease affecting the Project, in writing specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than forty-five (45) days is required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default; Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to any other remedy available at law or in equity. Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying rent due hereunder as a result of any default by Landlord. See Addendum Paragraph 14.5

 

25. ENTRY OF PREMISES AND PERFORMANCE BY TENANT.

 

Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the following purposes: (a) To determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) To do any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration to the Premises or the Project that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform; (c) To show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, tenants or persons interested in an exchange, at any time during the Term; (d) To repair, maintain or improve the Project and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the Project; or (e) To discharge Tenant’s obligations hereunder when Tenant has failed to do so in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or other damage arising out of Landlord’s entry onto the Premises as provided in this Paragraph 25, unless caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Paragraph 25. Landlord shall reasonably attempt to conduct his activities on the Premises as provided herein in a manner that will cause the least inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant. For each of these purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes. Tenant shall not alter any lock or install a new or additional lock or bolt on any door of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. If Landlord gives its consent, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a key for any such lock.

 

All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Monthly Basic Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof by Landlord (or such other period as specifically provided herein), Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed in this Lease; provided, however, all sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs together with interest thereon at the lesser of 12% or the maximum rate an individual is permitted to charge by law, from the date of such payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand. Tenant covenants to pay any such sums, and Landlord shall have (in addition to all other rights or remedies of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent. * See Addendum Paragraph 15

 

26. SUBORDINATION.

 

As to existing encumbrancers and, provided that future encumbrancers recognize this tenancy and provided further that tenant shall not be disturbed by such future encumbrancers unless and until tenant is in material default of any of the provisions of this Lease, without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of affecting a subordination, and unless otherwise elected by Landlord or any mortgages or any beneficiary of a Deed of Trust with a lien on the Project or any ground lessor with respect to the Project (or any part thereof), this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times __ (a) all ground lessee or underlying lesses which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Project, or the land upon which the Project is situated, or both, and (b) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which the Project, ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of said items is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated this Lease to any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or Deed of Trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, _______ to and become the tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord any additional documents evidencing the priority of subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground lease or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or Deed of Trust. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute, deliver and record any such document in the name and on behalf of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall use best efforts to obtain a fully executed Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C promptly after the execution of this Lease.

 

27. NOTICE.

 

Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval or communication desired by either party or required to be given, shall be in writing and served either personally or sent by prepaid certificate first class mail, return receipt requested, addressed as set forth in Subparagraph 1(b) and 1(c). Either party may change its address by notification to the other party. Notice shall be deemed to be communicated 48 hours from the time of mailing, or at the time of service as provided in this Paragraph 27.

 

11


28. WAIVER.

 

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord or tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish termination of this Lease. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Landlord or tenant of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Lease.

 

29. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

 

In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant and all successors and assigns of Tenant covenant and agree that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord:

 

  (a) The sole and exclusive remedy against Landlord shall be against Landlord’s interest in the Building;

 

  (b) No partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the partnership);

 

  (c) No service of process shall be made against any partner of Landlord (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the partnership);

 

  (d) No partner of Landlord shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to any service of process;

 

  (e) No judgment may be taken against any partner of Landlord;

 

  (f) Any judgment taken against any partner of Landlord may be vacated and set aside at any time after the fact;

 

  (g) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner of Landlord;

 

  (h) The obligations under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord, or the partners, directors, officers or shareholders of the partners of Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against any such partners or entities of Landlord or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this Lease; and

 

  (i) These covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord and also by any partner of Landlord.

 

Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing provisions shall be applicable to any covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.

 

30. FORCE MAJEURE.

 

Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant on account of (a) the inability or delay of Landlord in                  any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease by reason of strike, other labor trouble, governmental controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, or shortages of fuel, supplies or labor resulting therefrom or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the above, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; or (b) any failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of electricity or water furnished to the Premises, by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility or others furnishing the Project with electricity or water, or for any reason, whether similar or dissimilar to the above, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. If this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of Landlord, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in Landlord’s performance caused by any of the events of force majeure described above.

 

31. PROFESSIONAL FEES.

 

  (a) If Landlord or tenant should engage any professional including, without limitation, attorneys, appraisers, accountants or environmental or other consultants for the purpose of bringing suit for possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provisions of this Lease, or for any other relief against Tenant hereunder, or in the event of any other litigation between the parties with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses including, without limitation, actual professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’, attorneys and other consultants’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment. If Landlord employs a collection agency to recover delinquent charges, Tenant agrees to pay all collection agency fees charged to Landlord in addition to rent, late charges, interest and other sums payable under this Lease.

 

32. EXAMINATION OF LEASE.

 

Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant shall not create a binding agreement between Landlord and Tenant nor shall it constitute a reservation or option to lease on the part of Tenant and this instrument shall not be effective as a lease and shall not create any obligations on the part of Landlord or Tenant until this Lease has been validly executed by, and delivered to, both Landlord and Tenant.

 

12


33. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

 

  (a) Within ten (10) days following any written request which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a statement (“ Estoppel Certificate”), in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit.          attached hereto or in such other form as Landlord’s lender or purchaser may require, certifying: (i) the date of commencement of this Lease; (ii) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, stating the nature and date of such modifications), (iii) the date to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (iv) that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in Tenant’s statement; and (v) such other matters requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 33 may be rolled upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Project or any interest therein.

 

  (b) Tenants failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) that not more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance. Tenant’s failure to deliver said statement to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt shall constitute a default under this Lease and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, terminate this Lease.

 

  (c) In the event tenant does not deliver an Estoppel Certificate within 15 days after a written request by Landlord, Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act in Tenant’s name, place and stead to execute such Estoppel Certificate on Tenant’s behalf.

4


And add the following after paragraph 9(d):

7.5. At the end of paragraph 10 add the following:

 

During any holdover, Tenant shall pay monthly rent in an amount equal to 110% of Monthly Basic Rent, subject to increases as provided in subparagraph 5(c), if applicable, for the last full calendar month during the regular term, plus 100% of said last months estimate of Tenant’s share of Expenses pursuant to paragraph 6, subject to increase as provided therein, provided however that if the holdover exceeds three months in duration the amount of Monthly Basic Rent shall be adjusted upward commencing with the fourth month from 110% to 125%.

 

8. Add the following at the end of paragraph 11:

Upon the review and approval by Landlord of Tenant’s signage designs and locations and upon receipt by Tenant of all necessary governmental approvals for the installation of such signs and for which Landlord has received copies of such approvals, Tenant shall have the right to install two signs at the top of the building located at the southwest corner of the Project’s office tower (“Tower Signs”), one eyebrow sign directly above the 501 J Street, Suite 110 space, one eyebrow sign directly above 525 J Street, and the current exterior identification signage located above the main banking hall entrance at 525 J Street for a total of three “eyebrow” signs (“Eyebrow

 

5


Signs”). Tenant shall be allowed a third eyebrow sign only if the City of Sacramento does not limit signage allowable along the “I” Street portion of the Building or the “J” Street signage currently associated with Suite 100, 501 J Street as a condition to Tenant receiving a third sign location. While Landlord will allow Tenant to maintain three Eyebrow signs, nothing herein shall constitute a representation or warranty to Tenant that the City of Sacramento will allow any particular location or number of such signs. Tenant may, once during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, upon receiving all appropriate required City of Sacramento approvals and permits and upon review and approval by Landlord, relocate the eyebrow signage to any eyebrow area directly over Tenant’s Premises. Should Tenant choose to relocate the Eyebrow Signage, Tenant shall restore the building surface, where the previous sign was located, to its original condition prior to the original installation at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. No other exterior building signage shall be installed by Tenant. Landlord does not warrant the size, number or location of any of the signage rights provided to Tenant under the terms of this Lease. All costs associated with obtaining governmental approval, installation, manufacture and maintenance of Tenant’s signage shall be borne by Tenant. If any of said signage is removed from the building, Tenant shall immediately restore the building surface to its condition existing prior to such sign installation. If said signage falls into disrepair, Tenant shall have ten (10) days to effect repairs following Landlord’s notice to Tenant to do so. If repairs are not completed within such period, Landlord shall have the right but is not obligated to make repairs and charge Tenant for same, which charges shall be additional rent for the next succeeding month. Immediately upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or any extensions hereof, Tenant shall immediately remove all signs and shall restore the building surface to its condition existing prior to such sign installation.

 

Tenant shall have no obligation to make repairs relating to the signage of the previous tenant at 501 J Street, Suite 110.

 

9. Paragraph 13 is replaced with the following:

 

(a) Unless Tenant is in default hereunder, Tenant shall be entitled to the number and type of parking spaces set forth in this paragraph, subject to a monthly parking fee for such spaces with Landlord reserving the right to set and increase monthly rates, not to exceed parking rates in similar buildings within downtown Sacramento, for such spaces from time to time during the Term of this Lease. Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than said number. If at any time during the Term hereof Tenant does not choose to pay for the full number of such parking spaces, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall not

 

6


thereafter have the right to recommence the use of the spaces not paid for if Landlord has made commitments for those spaces in the interim. Such spaces shall be located in those portions of the Common Areas designated by Landlord for parking. Landlord may assign any unreserved and unassigned parking spaces and/or make all or a portion of such spaces reserved, if it determines in its sole discretion that it is necessary for orderly and efficient parking subject to the continuing provision to Tenant of the spaces provided to it hereunder. In the event Landlord has not assigned specific spaces to Tenant, Tenant shall not use any spaces which have been so specially assigned by Landlord to other tenants or which have been designated by governmental entities with competent jurisdiction as being restricted to certain uses. Parking within the Common Area shall be limited to striped parking stalls, and no parking shall be permitted in any driveways, accessways or in any area which would prohibit or impede the free flow of traffic within the Common Area.

 

(b) The use by Tenant, and its employees and invitees, of the parking facilities of the Project shall be on the terms and conditions set forth herein, as well as Exhibit I attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, and all reasonable nondiscriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time put into effect by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or non-performance by any other tenant or occupant of the Project of any of the established parking rules and procedures; provided, however, that Landlord shall use diligent, reasonable efforts to enforce uniformly such rules and procedures. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described herein or in Exhibit I, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.

 

(c) For the period January 1, 1994 through December 31, 2004, Tenant shall have the right to maintain 12 reserved parking spaces (SEE EXHIBIT A-4, spaces marked “S”). Commencing August 1, 1999, Tenant shall have the right to an additional ten (10) reserved parking spaces (SEE EXHIBIT A-5, spaces marked “B”). The reserved parking spaces shall be marked “SCB Customers Only.” Tenant shall have the first twelve (12) months of the lease term following execution of this Agreement free of charge for the twelve (12) reserved spaces. The rates for these reserved parking

 

7


spaces shall be at the prevailing market rates (not to exceed those for similar buildings) (currently $95.00 per month) for reserved parking throughout the term of this Lease. Up to twelve (12) of the reserved parking spaces may be for banking customers of Tenant only (“Customers”), one (1) hour maximum parking. Tenant shall be provided with a one (1) hour customer validation stamp which shall be used for Customers only. Customers parking for a period in excess of one (1) hour shall be required to pay the prevailing market rate or Tenant may purchase validation stickers from the parking management company at the prevailing market rate and provide them to Customers for any additional time greater than one (1) hour validation period.

 

(d) For the period January 1, 1994 through December 31, 2004 (or such later date as the Lease termination date may be extended under the SETIA), Tenant shall have the right to seventy (70) unassigned parking spaces. Commencing August 1, 1999, Tenant shall receive the right to an additional twenty-one (21) unassigned parking spaces. Tenant shall have the first twelve (12) months of the lease term following execution of this Lease free of charge for the seventy (70) unassigned parking spaces. SCB shall have the right to acquire additional unassigned parking spaces at a ratio of 2.6 per 1,000 useable square feet leased by SCB concurrently with any expansion within the Building. The rates for these unassigned parking spaces shall be at the prevailing market rates (not to exceed those for similar buildings) for unassigned parking throughout the term of these Lease.

 

(e) Tenant shall have the right to park vehicles owned by it and used in its business operations overnight in its parking areas notwithstanding contrary provisions in this Lease. Periodic overnight parking by employees as necessary in their performance of duties shall also not constitute a breach.

 

(f) Tenant agrees to provide Landlord on a monthly basis an updated list of all employees issued parking cards with the appropriate designation of reserved or non-reserved parking. In addition, Tenant agrees to notify Landlord promptly if an employee has been terminated so that the parking card may be immediately deactivated. Tenant further agrees that any failure to pay the monthly parking charges when due shall be considered a material default under this Lease.

 

10. Add the following at the end of paragraph 14:

 

Tenant may request ventilation, heating and air conditioning service for hours other than those outlined on Exhibit H, Paragraph 1 (Overtime Air Service). Upon at least twenty-four (24) hours minimum advance written notice from Tenant to Landlord, the Landlord shall arrange for such Overtime Air Service. For each Overtime Air Service request, Tenant

 

8


shall pay, as additional rent, the following costs:

 

$50.00 Service Charge

 

If on weekdays, $25.00 per hour.

 

If on weekends, $35.00 for the first hour and $25.00 per hour thereafter.

 

Tenant shall be entitled to two (2) calendar days per year at no cost.

 

Such costs shall be paid to Landlord, at the same address provided for rent and notices or such other addresses as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. Tenant shall provide the appropriate billing address for Overtime Air Service in the space provided below, and shall notify Landlord in writing of any change in address.

 

Landlord reserves the right to reasonably adjust the hourly charge for Overtime Air Service if the costs to Landlord of providing said service increases.

 

Tenant’s billing address for overtime air service is as follows:

 

Sacramento Commercial Bank

Attn: Chief Financial Officer

525 J Street

Sacramento, CA 95814

 

11. Add the following at the end of paragraph 16:

 

Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right to install one or more Automatic Teller Machines (“ATM”) as allowed by the structure of the building and local governmental approvals, if any, through the exterior of the Building, protruding from Tenant’s space. Tenant’s right to install such ATM’s shall be exclusive in the Property.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make alterations to the premises having a total cost of $10,000 or less without Landlord’s prior consent, provided however, that no alterations of any kind requiring a building permit may be made without Landlord’s prior consent in writing. Provided that Tenant gives notice to Landlord of a proposed alteration or requests Landlord’s consent to an alteration, as appropriate, Tenant may request in writing that Landlord then advise it whether the proposed alteration must be removed at the termination of the tenancy. Landlord shall respond in writing to such written request(s) within ten (10) days after actual receipt; failure by Landlord to timely respond to such a request shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to require removal of the proposed alteration at the termination of the tenancy.

 

Tenant shall have the right to perform unperformed maintenance if and only if within

 

9


30 days after written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall have failed to commence appropriate maintenance which Tenant’s notice identifies as unperformed, provided however, that if the nature of the problem is such that work cannot be commenced within such 30 days Landlord’s written notice to Tenant identifying such circumstances and the measures contemplated to address the problem shall bar Tenant’s right to perform any work or repair, if Landlord prosecutes the same to completion in as reasonably diligent a fashion as the circumstances permit. If Tenant incurs expenses for maintenance pursuant to this paragraph, it may make a claim against Landlord for the same, but under no circumstances shall Tenant withhold any rent on account of such expenses.

 

12. Add the following at the end of paragraph 17:

 

Landlord shall require any employees, contractors, or agents having the authority to enter Tenant’s premises to be bonded against theft or other loss up to $10,000.

 

13. Add the following at the end of paragraph 18:

 

In consideration of Landlord’s agreement not to require loss of income or business interruption insurance or rental abatement insurance, Tenant expressly waives any and all claims it may have against Landlord or any of its officers, partners, agents or employees for any loss of income, for any injury on account of business interruption.

 

13.5. At the end of paragraph 21 add the following:

 

Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Premises or sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow any other person or entity (except Tenant’s authorized representatives, employees, invitees, or guests) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Landlord shall be deemed reasonable in withholding its consent if it reasonably determines that:

 

(i) the financial condition of the proposed assignee or sublessee as reflected in its audited financial statements delivered to Landlord suggests that there is a reasonable possibility that the assignee or sublessee will not be able to satisfy the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease for the duration of its term;

 

(ii) the intended use of the premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee is other than a permitted use under this Lease or, if a permitted use under this Lease, is inconsistent, incompatible or competes with the use of another tenant in the project which has a right of exclusive use or operation within the project;

 

10


time of the merger, acquisition or sale of assets, then the transaction shall be deemed an assignment and Landlord’s consent shall be required.

 

Any and all profits realized from any subletting or assignment during the term of this Lease shall be divided equally between Landlord and Tenant (SCB), after deduction and reimbursement to Tenant (SCB) of its expenses incurred in arranging the sublease or assignment, including but not limited to broker’s and attorneys’ fees.

 

14. Landlord shall pay a commission of 2 1/2% to Tenant’s broker, but only for the portion of the lease attributable to 501 J Street, Suite 110 when that space becomes a part of this lease — i.e. for the period August 1, 1999 through termination. Such commission shall be payable within 30 days after execution of this Lease. One half of this commission shall be payable on execution of this Lease; the remaining one-half shall be payable upon completion of all tenant improvements under the SETIA.

 

14.5 The beneficiary under Landlord’s existing deed of trust is Credit Suisse, New York Branch, with an office at 100 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005. Landlord shall furnish written notice to Tenant of any changes in the beneficiary under any deeds of trust encumbering the Project.

 

15. Add the following at the end of paragraph 25:

 

Any employee, contractor, or agent of Landlord who is authorized to enter the leased premises shall be bonded against theft or loss up to $10,000.

 

16. Add subparagraph (n) of paragraph 37 as follows:

 

The acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

 

17. The premises demised under this lease at its date of execution are as follows: approximately 11,184 rentable square feet known as 525 J Street (See EXHIBIT A-l, cross-hatched area) and approximately 5,635 rentable square feet known as 501 J Street, Suite 225 (See EXHIBIT A-3, cross-hatched area.) Initial rentable square feet under this lease is approximately 16,819.

 

Concurrently, Tenant shall also occupy approximately 9,414 rentable square feet known as 501 J Street, Suite 110 (EXHIBIT A-2, cross-hatched area) under an assignment of an existing lease. Tenant is responsible for rentable square footage pursuant to the terms of the underlying lease of which it is an assignee expressly assuming all lease obligations. Including the premises occupied under this assignment, total rentable square feet occupied by tenant at the inception of this Lease will be approximately 26,233.

 

Effective upon the expiration of the existing lease for 501 J Street, Suite 110 (July 31, 1999), those premises shall be demised to tenant as a direct lessee of Landlord under this written lease. The rights and duties of the parties shall be determined by this lease as regards events occurring after August 1, 1999. These lease provisions shall not, however, be construed to extinguish any

 

12


rights surviving the termination of that lease, viz. any rights the parties may have, after August 1, 1999, arising from their prior contractual relationship as landlord and assignee, including rights of defense and indemnity.

 

18. Upon its execution of this Lease, Tenant shall receive a retroactive rent credit back to January 1, 1994 in an amount equal to the difference between rent already paid under the previous lease for 525 J Street from January 1, 1994 through the date of execution of this Lease and the amount of the rent due for that same space under this Lease from January 1, 1994 through the date of execution of this Lease. Tenant may apply this credit toward the next rent due and owing under this Lease.

 

Additionally, Landlord shall abate the rent due under this Lease between August 1, 1994 and October 31, 1994 in an amount equal to the rent due between those same dates and actually paid, by Tenant (SCB) to Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association (“B of A”), as successor in interest to Pacific Southwest Realty Company under any sublease or assignment they execute contemporaneously with their execution of the Lease Restructuring and Extension Agreement and its exhibits (including this Lease). From November 1, 1994 until completion of the tenant improvement work, as defined in the SETIA, for 501 J Street, Suite 110, Landlord shall abate the rent due under this Lease in an amount equal to one-half of the amount paid by SCB to B of A during such time period.

 

19. In addition to the credit provided in paragraph 18, upon its execution of this Lease, Tenant shall receive a retroactive rent credit back to January 1, 1994 in an amount equal to the difference between the sum of rent already paid under the previous lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225 from January 1, 1994 through the date of execution of this Lease and the sum of rent due for that same space under this Lease from January 1, 1994 through the date of execution of this Lease. Tenant may apply said rent credit towards the next rent due.

 

Following execution of this Lease, rent for 501 J Street, Suite 225, shall be $1.70 per square foot through and until the date of completion of tenant improvements therein. The date of completion of such work shall be as defined in the SETIA, executed herewith. Upon the completion of those tenant improvements, there shall be a rental abatement for 12 months. At the expiration of 12 months after the completion of tenant improvements, rent shall resume at the rate of $1.37 per square foot. If tenant improvements are not completed on the first day of the month, the rental abatement and the rent due following the expiration of the rental abatement period shall be prorated.

 

20. The premises percent of the project during the term of this Lease shall be as scheduled in column five (5) of the matrix shown in Addendum Paragraph 6, Monthly Basic Rent. This provision shall not, however, relieve tenant of responsibility for percentage responsibility as assignee under the existing lease of 501 J Street, Suite 110, it being expressly understood that those premises are not encompassed by this lease until August 1, 1999.

 

21. At the end of the sixtieth (60th) month of this Lease, the Base Year as referenced in Paragraph 1.m of this Lease shall be changed to be the twelve (12) month period commencing January 1, 1999, and ending December 31, 1999.

 

22. Tenant shall have options as provided in attached Option to Extend Rider 1.

 

23. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may be subject to flooding hazards due to the location of the building within a one hundred year flood plain. The boundaries of the flood plain are described in Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate map dated May 1,

 

13


1989, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Preliminary Working map dated January, 1989, prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (collectively, “Flood Maps”). The Flood Maps indicated that the majority of the City and parts of the County of Sacramento lie within a one hundred year flood plain.

 

Property located in the flood plain may be inundated in the event flooding occurs at a level reached on the average once every hundred years (a one percent chance of occurring in any given year). Under the provisions of the National Flood Insurance Program, such property is deemed subject to special flood hazards. Tenant expressly acknowledges and assumes the risk that the Premises may be subject to flooding due to their location in a one hundred year flood plain. Tenant unconditionally waives any flood-related property damage claim asserting liability on the part of the City or County of Sacramento or its officers, agents or employees premised on the issuance of a permit for the construction of tenant improvements within the Premises, whether or not the issuance of such a permit is due to the negligence of the City or County or its officers, agents or employees. Further, Tenant unconditionally waives any flood-related property damage claim against Landlord. The term “claim” as used in the paragraph shall include all direct of class actions or subrogation or inverse condemnation lawsuits brought by any person, entity or governmental agency.

 

24. This Lease, upon execution, shall supersede the existing lease between the parties for 525 J Street, and that lease shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.

 

25. Add the following at the end of paragraph 22:

 

Any default by tenant (as assignee) under the existing lease of 501 J street, Suite 110 shall also be an event of default under this lease.

Exhibit 1 to Lease Restructuring and Modification Agreement

 

LEASE MODIFICATION

 

Fifth & I Associates (“Landlord”) and Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association (“B of A”) as successor in interest to Pacific Southwest Realty Company hereby modify their written lease, dated March 29, 1989, for the premises known as 501 J Street, Suite 110, Sacramento, California (“Underlying Lease”), pursuant to this lease modification (“Modification”) as follows:

 

A. Recitals:

 

1. B of A would like to assign the Underlying Lease. Sacramento Commercial Bank (“SCB”) proposes to assume the Underlying Lease (with the modifications enumerated herein) as an assignee, provided B of A executes this Modification and certain other agreements.

 

2. SCB requires that tenant improvements be made to the Underlying Lease premises in connection with its occupancy (“Tenant Improvement Installation”).

 

3. Landlord and B of A each require the other party’s agreement that any such tenant improvement installation and its consequences will not reduce, increase or impact B of A’s obligations to perform the covenants of the Underlying Lease, including the covenant to pay rent.

 

1


B. Agreement: In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties modify the Underlying Lease as follows:

 

1. B of A agrees that the premises may be modified to allow the construction of tenant improvements acceptable to SCB under the terms and conditions of that Space Expansion and Tenant Improvement Agreement (“SETIA”) between SCB and Landlord of even date herewith. The foregoing consent shall not be construed as making B of A a party to the SETIA or subject to any provisions of the SETIA.

 

2. B of A’s obligation to pay the amount of rent stipulated in the Underlying Lease shall not be increased, reduced or otherwise affected by the installation of the Tenant improvements, nor shall B of A’s “Tenant’s Percentage” (5.01%) of total rentable area of the building be affected for purposes of any Rental Adjustments or payments of Direct Expenses or any other forms of payments or expenses, nor shall the installation of tenant improvements otherwise affect any rights of B of A in the Underlying Lease.

 

3. B of A reaffirms and acknowledges that this Modification shall not operate as any form of release of it or any assignee or sublessee relative to any of the tenant’s obligations under the Underlying Lease.

 

4. B of A waives, relinquishes, and extinguishes its option rights under paragraph 59 of the addendum to the Underlying Lease, dated March 29, 1989.

 

5. B of A waives, relinquishes, and extinguishes its rights under paragraphs 60, 62, 63, 64.1, and 64.2 of the addendum to the Underlying Lease, provided however, that B of A’s

 

2


rights under these paragraphs shall be revived if SCB, assignee of the Underlying Lease (as herein modified) under an assignment of even date herewith, ever defaults in its performance of any obligations under the Underlying Lease (as modified) and if B of A timely cures such default pursuant to the notice and cure rights contained in the Assignment of Lease from B of A to SCB to which Landlord has consented (the “Assignment of Lease”).

 

6. Landlord may demolish and remove the vault situated within the leased premises. Neither Landlord nor any other party shall have any obligation to return or restore said vault at the termination of the tenancy.

 

7. Landlord and SCB may remove existing tenant improvements and install new tenant improvements pursuant to the SETIA.

 

8. B of A acknowledges that the Work Letter Agreement annexed to the Underlying Lease has been fully performed; provided, however, that Landlord acknowledges an existing credit of $4,450.00 allowance for tenant improvements remains that Landlord will reimburse B of A within fourteen (14) days of execution of this Modification. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed to make Landlord a party to the Tenant Improvement Funding Agreement.

 

9. B of A consents to the agreement between SCB and Landlord that SCB and B of A shall be deemed to have complied with any and all insurance requirements set forth in the

 

3


Underlying Lease, and shall not be in default thereunder, so long as SCB insures the premises on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the lease between SCB and Landlord of even date herewith (“SCB Lease”) for the adjoining space in the building. Landlord hereby agrees, for the express benefit of SCB and B of A, to this Modification to the Underlying Lease to allow SCB to maintain the same insurance coverage and carriers with respect to both premises, provided, that if SCB ever defaults in its performance of any obligations under the Underlying Lease, if B of A timely cures such defaults pursuant to notice and cure rights contained in the Assignment of Lease and B of A reacquires the right to possession of the premises, this paragraph shall be of no further force and effect and B of A shall only be bound by the insurance requirements currently set forth in the Underlying Lease.

 

10. SCB and Landlord have agreed to move certain reserved parking spaces subject to paragraph 57 of the Underlying Lease as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and B of A consents to such modification.

 

11. Landlord agrees to provide notice of the amount of Direct Expenses or any other form of additional rent, as defined in the Underlying Lease, to both B of A and SCB.

 

12. Landlord agrees to provide janitorial services under the Underlying Lease under which SCB is tenant thereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions for such services under the SCB Lease; provided that if SCB ever defaults in its

 

4


performance of any obligations under the Underlying Lease, if B of A timely cures such default pursuant to notice and cure rights contained in the Assignment of Lease and B of A reacquires the right to possession, this paragraph 12 shall be of no force and effect and the arrangement for janitorial services shall revert to that set forth in the Underlying Lease. The janitorial expenses charged to SCB shall be included in SCB’s Base and Comparison Years for the purposes of determining Building Expenses as defined in Paragraph 6 of the Underlying Lease.

 

C. Miscellaneous:

 

l. Effect of Modifications: Except to the extent the Underlying Lease is modified by this amendment, the remaining terms and provisions of the Underlying Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Underlying Lease and the terms of this Modification, this Modification shall control.

 

2. Entire Agreement: This Modification embodies and sets forth fully and completely each and every understanding between Landlord and B of A with respect to any and all modifications of the Underlying Lease. THERE ARE NO TERMS OF AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDINGS, OR ARRANGEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER BETWEEN LANDLORD AND B of A, EXCEPT FOR WHAT IS SET FORTH IN WRITING IN THE UNDERLYING LEASE DOCUMENT, THIS WRITTEN MODIFICATION, LEASE RESTRUCTURING AND EXTENSION AGREEMENT AND CONSENT OF LANDLORD TO ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE. THERE ARE NOT NOW AND NEVER HAVE BEEN ANY “SIDE AGREEMENTS” OF ANY KIND OR SORT,

 

5


WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, THAT RELATE TO OR HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE UNDERLYING LEASE OR THIS WRITTEN MODIFICATION.

 

3. Counterparts: This Modification may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one in the same original.

 

IN WITNESS HEREOF, the parties have executed this Modification as of the date set forth below:

This Assignment of Lease is made this                  day of June, 1994 by and between Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association (“B of A”) as successor in interest to Pacific Southwest Realty Company whose address is Corporate Real Estate, 560 Davis Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, California 94111, Attn: Real Estate Manager and Sacramento Commercial Bank (“SCB”) whose address is 501 J Street, Suite 225, Sacramento, California 95814, with the consent of FIFTH & I ASSOCIATES (“Landlord”) whose address is  c/o Sares-Regis Group of Northern California, 1451 River Park Drive, Suite 110, Sacramento, California 95815.

 

RECITALS:

 

1. On March 19, 1989 Landlord and B of A’s predecessor in interest, Pacific Southwest Realty Company, entered into a written lease of even date (the “Lease”) in which Landlord leased to B of A and B of A leased from Landlord certain premises (the “Premises”) commonly known as: 525 J Street, Suite 110, Sacramento, California 95814. A copy of the Lease is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A.

 

2. B of A now wishes to assign all of its right, title and interest in the Lease to SCB and SCB wishes to accept the assignment from B of A and assume all of B of A’s obligations under the Lease subject to certain terms and conditions; and

 

3. The Lease requires Landlord’s consent to an assignment of B of A’s interest in the Lease.

 

- 1 -


The parties agree as follows:

 

1. Effective Date of Assignment. The assignment in this Agreement shall take effect on August 1, 1994 (the “Effective Date”). B of A shall give possession of the Premises to SCB on that date.

 

2. Assignment and Assumption. B of A assigns and transfers to SCB all of its right, title and interest in the Lease and SCB accepts the assignment and assumes and agrees to perform, from the Effective Date, as a direct obligation to Landlord, all of the provisions of the Lease, except as otherwise provided herein.

 

3. B of A’s Liability. B of A shall remain liable for the performance of the provisions of the Lease.

 

4. Specific Agreements.

 

a. Rent. SCB shall pay, beginning August 1, 1994 directly to Landlord, with evidence of payment simultaneously sent to B of A, $8,643.58 per month plus the additional rent owed under the Lease for Direct Expenses, as defined therein, (which is currently $3,183.39 per month) subject to adjustment as provided in the Lease; provided, however, that SCB shall not be responsible for, and B of A shall pay, to the extent required under the Lease, any increases in Direct Expenses due to an increase in real property taxes solely due to a change in ownership either by Landlord or within Landlord’s ownership.

 

B of A shall continue to make timely payment of all other rent as defined in the Lease to Landlord which SCB has not assumed hereunder in the current amount of $14,176.77. B of A

 

- 2 -


shall forward rental payments to Landlord by the date upon which they are due under the Lease together with evidence of payment to SCB. Nothing herein shall limit Landlord’s rights to rental payments from B of A or SCB or any and all remedies available if any rent is not received as required under the Lease.

 

B of A, as a condition to this Assignment, represents and warrants to SCB that it will maintain all payments required under the Lease until August 1, 1994 and otherwise perform under the Lease such that the warranties made by B of A to Landlord in the Lease Restructuring and Extension Agreement will be true and correct as of that date.

 

b. Tenant Improvement Allowance. B of A shall pay a tenant improvement allowance to SCB in an amount equal to $171,160.00 in accordance with the Tenant Improvement Funding Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference.

 

c. Assignment. B of A and Landlord agree that SCB may sublet or assign the Premises, together with its other space in the Building under a separate Lease with Landlord dated effective June 15, 1994 (“SCB Lease”) on the same terms and conditions as set forth in paragraph 21 of the SCB Lease and paragraph 13.4 of the Addendum to the SCB Lease (with B of A having the same approval rights as Landlord) so long as such subletting or assignment does not cause a default under the Master Lease; provided, however, that B of A shall not be deemed reasonable in withholding its consent if Landlord consents to the sublease or assignment. Assignee shall not assign or sublet the Premises

 

- 3 -


independently from the adjacent space without Landlord’s and B of A’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

d. Excess Rents. Within three (3) days following the date received by SCB from any assignee or sublessee, SCB shall pay to B of A one hundred percent (100%) of the amount by which the rent payable and received by such assignee or sublessee to SCB exceeds the rent payable by SCB to B of A until the rent payable by SCB to B of A equals the amount paid by B of A to Landlord under the Lease and thereafter, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the rent payable by such assignee or sublessee to SCB throughout the term exceeds the rent paid by SCB to B of A under this Lease. By way of example, if monthly rent under the Lease is $1.20 per square foot, the rent payable by SCB under this Assignment is $1.01 per square foot, and the rent under the new sublease is $1.40 per square foot, of the $1.40 per square foot paid to SCB by its sublessee, $0.29 per square foot will be paid by SCB to B of A hereunder. If SCB receives a lump sum payment in connection with an assignment, such amount shall be allocated between SCB and B of A, in the same manner taking into account the total rents payable during the remaining terms of the Lease and Sublease.

 

The forgoing is a freely negotiated arrangement between SCB and B of A respecting the allocation of appreciated rents. This covenant to pay appreciated rents under this Assignment shall survive the expiration of the term of the Lease as to accrued but unpaid amounts as of the date of termination.

 

- 4 -


Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCB shall not be obligated to pay B of A any portion of such appreciated rentals until SCB has recovered any costs it has reasonably incurred in connection with the subletting or assignment of the Premises to any third party broker or for improvements to the Premises. Any such costs to be deducted from appreciated rents shall be subject to B of A’s reasonable approval.

 

e. Acceptance of Premises. Subject to the work to be performed by B of A pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement between B of A and SCB, SCB agrees to accept the Premises in an “as is” condition. Without limiting the foregoing, SCB’s rights in the Premises are subject to all local, state and federal laws, regulations and ordinances governing and regulating the use and occupancy of the Premises and subject to all matters not now or hereafter of record. SCB acknowledges that, except as set forth in subparagraph (g) below, neither B of A nor B of A’s agent has made any representation or warranty as to:

 

(1) the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct of SCB’s business;

 

(2) the physical condition of the Premises;

 

(3) the expenses of operation of the Premises;

 

(4) the safety of the Premises, whether for the use of SCB or any other person, including SCB’s employees, agents, invitees or customers; or

 

(5) any other matter or thing affecting or related to the Premises.

 

- 5 -


SCB acknowledges that no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by SCB by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein. SCB shall, prior to delivery of possession of the Premises, inspect the Premises and become thoroughly acquainted with their condition, and acknowledges that the taking of possession of the Premises by SCB shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was so taken. SCB specifically agrees that B of A has no duty to make any disclosures concerning the condition of the Property, other than as set forth in paragraph (g) below, and the Premises and/or the fitness of the Property and the Premises for SCB’s intended use and SCB expressly waives any duty which B of A might have to make any such disclosures. SCB further agrees that, in the event SCB subleases all or any portion of the Premises, SCB will indemnify and defend B of A (in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof) for, from and against any matters which arise as a result of SCB’s failure to disclose any relevant information about the Property or the Premises to any subtenant or assignee. SCB shall comply with all laws and regulations relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises and to the common areas, including, without limitations, making structural alterations or providing auxiliary aids and services to the Premises as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. (the “ADA”).

 

f. Right of Entry. B of A shall have the right to enter the Premises during normal business hours or at any time in an

 

- 6 -


not be unreasonably withheld. Any amendment of the Lease in violation of this provision will not be binding on B of A.

SPACE EXPANSION AND

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Space Expansion and Tenant Improvement Agreement (“Agreement” or “SETIA”) is entered into on the day indicated below by Fifth and I Associates (“Landlord”) and Sacramento Commercial Bank (“Tenant”).

 

  A. RECITALS:

 

This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following facts:

 

1. This Agreement is executed contemporaneously with and as an integral part of a written lease for the premises at 501 J Street, Suite 225 and 525 J Street.

 

2. Tenant currently occupies 501 J Street, Suite 225 and 525 J Street, as set forth in a written lease, dated May 24, 1988, and certain written amendments thereto.

 

3. Landlord and Tenant have agreed that Tenant may occupy additional space within the project, namely 501 J Street, Suite 110, initially under an assignment of an existing lease and subsequently under the new lease executed contemporaneously with this Agreement.

 

4. Landlord contemplates spending substantial funds for the construction of the improvements identified herein and requires reasonable assurances and consideration from Tenant in exchange for its commitment to begin such work.

 

5. The lease executed contemporaneously with this Agreement is given in partial consideration of Landlord’s promise to provide funds in a stipulated amount for the improvement of 501 J Street, Suite 225 and 525 J Street. Tenant has negotiated a like tenant improvement allowance with the current lessee of 501 J Street, Suite 110 as part of an agreement to take over the space of that lessee, by way of an assignment.

 

6. Tenant is interested in the process by which tenant improvement work is bid and performed. Tenant may participate in that process on the terms set forth herein, provided however, that to the extent that Tenant’s involvement

 

-1-


will slow the completion of work, there are appropriate adjustments in the scheduled dates of completion, the award of contracts, and the performance of contracts and further provided that appropriate protection is given to Landlord’s ownership interests.

 

  B. SPACE EXPANSION AND TENANT IMPROVEMENTS:

 

Work shall be performed as follows:

 

1. HVAC System at 525 J Street:

 

(a) Design: Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Landlord shall cause to be created a set of plans and specifications for the upgrading of the HVAC system serving 525 J Street to provide a level of performance which is calculated to overcome past complaints received from Tenant and which will produce a reasonably comfortable environment for Tenant. This design work may be performed concurrently with other work enumerated in this Agreement. HVAC improvements for 525 J Street may utilize new components installed in connection with other work performed under this SETIA. Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of the proposed plans and specifications for review and comment. Landlord shall not be required to expend extraordinary or unreasonable sums in design or actual construction costs. Tenant shall approve the same plans, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. When completed and approved the plans and specifications shall be attached hereto in their entirety as Exhibit “G.”

 

If there is dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding the adequacy of the proposed design, the issue shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section C below.

 

For all purposes of this subparagraph (a), Landlord’s plans and specifications shall be reasonable and fully adequate if the proposed HVAC system, as a matter of design engineering, should provide a level of performance sufficient to satisfy ASHRAE Standard 90A-1980 and ASHRAE General Design Criteria, both as adjusted for Sacramento, California Climatic Conditions; Tenant shall have no grounds on which to disapprove the proposed

 

-2-


design if that design should provide a level of performance sufficient to satisfy the foregoing ASHRAE Standards.

 

(b) HVAC Upgrade Work: Upon approval of final plans for the upgrade, Landlord shall proceed with the work in a fashion which minimizes impact on Tenant’s operation. Such work may be done at any time, either continuously or in phases, as is most consistent with and convenient to the performance of other, related work described herein. Landlord shall bear the entire cost of the upgrades, and it shall have sole responsibility for obtaining all necessary permits and for all relations with contractors. Landlord shall have full responsibility for any mechanic’s liens recorded in connection with the HVAC upgrade work, and it shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from any claims relating to or on account of work for the HVAC upgrade, including any claims that Landlord and Tenant are acting pursuant to a joint venture.

 

(c) Time for Completion of HVAC Upgrades: All HVAC improvements shall be completed no later than the date of completion of the tenant improvements for 525 J Street, as set forth below. In the event of late delivery of the upgraded system, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be as described below for late delivery of tenant improvements in 525 J Street.

 

(d) Performance Issues: In addition to the performance required in paragraph 1 of Exhibit “H” to the written Lease, executed herewith, Landlord warrants as follows regarding the upgraded HVAC system: Its performance shall satisfy ASHRAE Standard 90A-1980 and ASHRAE General Design Criteria, as adjusted for Sacramento, California Climatic Conditions, through July 31, 1995. After the expiration of this six-month period, Landlord’s obligations relative to HVAC service(s) shall only be as stated in paragraph 1 of Exhibit “H” to the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, as regards HVAC issues in 525 J Street, use best reasonable efforts to eliminate any complaints Tenant may have. This obligation is subject to and limited by

 

-3-


the scope of the improvements approved by Tenant, as set forth above.

 

In the event the upgraded system in 525 J Street delivers performance within the foregoing standards but Tenant is still not satisfied, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be the joint appointment of an independent licensed AIA architect pursuant to Section C below. That architect shall determine whether any additional upgrades may be made at reasonable cost. If that architect determines that such upgrades are feasible at reasonable cost, then Tenant may elect, at its sole cost and expense, to make those upgrades. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any such further upgrades. The architect’s opinion shall be final.

 

(e) Contingency: The parties to this SETIA acknowledge that upgrades to the HVAC system serving 525 J Street may require the installation of additional ducting, soffits, and related improvements in order that the upgraded system should provide a level of performance sufficient to satisfy ASHRAE Standard 90A-1980 and ASHRAE General Design Criteria, both as adjusted for Sacramento, California Climatic Conditions.

 

In the event such improvements are necessary, Landlord shall install the same and shall further install interior finishes on such soffiting and other improvements which are consistent with the completed finishes contemplated in this SETIA for 525 J Street. Those finishes installed on such soffits or other such improvements shall be approved in advance by SCB’s space planner, McBride Associates, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord’s obligation under this subparagraph (e) shall be limited to those finishes which are tangibly and physically impacted by installation of soffits or related improvements; Landlord shall have no obligation to either redo or pay for the redesign, modification, or replacement of any finishes not so tangibly, physically impacted, including any redesign, modification, or replacement claimed to be necessary or desirable for aesthetic reasons as a result of the installation

 

-4-


of soffits or other such improvements relating to the HVAC upgrades.

 

(f) This SETIA shall supersede the Interim Agreement Relating to Tenant Improvements previously executed by the parties.

 

(g) Remedies: Tenant shall have no right to withhold any performance under or to rescind the written Lease executed herewith or to withhold any performance under any other paragraph of this Agreement on account of any alleged breaches pertaining to HVAC performance in 525 J Street.

 

2. Tenant Improvements in 525 J Street and 501 J Street, Suite 110:

 

(a) Design Phase (Including 501 J Street, Suite 225): Upon execution of the Lease, Tenant shall cause to be prepared a set of construction drawings and related materials for tenant improvements in 525 J Street, 501 J Street, Suite 110, and 501 J Street, Suite 225. Tenant shall submit those plans for approval by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall accept the drawings and related materials when they are in a form reasonably acceptable as final construction documents depicting and describing the work to be done. When accepted by Landlord those drawings and materials shall be attached hereto as Exhibits “A” (525 J Street), “B” (501 J Street, Suite 110), and “C” (501 J Street, Suite 225). Tenant warrants and represents that these plans and materials will fully and adequately depict and describe all improvements which Tenant requests and expects to be installed. Tenant also warrants and represents that these plans and materials will be fully adequate to obtain building permits and all other necessary governmental approvals for the depicted tenant improvements. Tenant shall have primary responsibility for the cost(s) of preparation of these plans, but Tenant may, as it deems appropriate, draw on the applicable tenant improvement allowances to recoup such design costs.

 

-5-


In no event shall Landlord have any responsibility for any space planning expenses of Tenant.

 

If any construction drawings, bid documents or related materials provided by Tenant are rejected by the building authority or any other governmental agency, Landlord shall cause the deficiencies in the plans to be remedied, and shall do so in its complete discretion. All expenses for such work shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and such costs may only be recouped from any tenant improvement allowance if funds are left within that allowance after the conclusion of all work and other matters under this SETIA. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such expenses within ten (10) days after written demand therefore.

 

(b) Preparation of Bid Documents: Not later than July 1, 1994, Tenant shall cause to be created, at its sole cost and expense and delivered to Landlord a full and complete set of bid documents for the work, including but limited to general conditions, supplemental conditions, forms of written subcontracts between Landlord and subcontractors, and such further drawings, plans, and specifications as are necessary and appropriate to fully apprise bidders of the work within their subcontract trade(s) as well as the work of other trades and the interface or integration of the trades with one another, forms of payment and performance bonds, bid submittal sheets, and like materials.

 

Landlord and its counsel shall review the bidding documents. Landlord shall note any deficiencies, legal or architectural, in these documents, including any inconsistencies or instances of incompleteness in any drawings, plans, or specifications within seven (7) days after its receipt of the bid documents. With such seven (7) day period, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written list of all such deficiencies, inconsistencies, or instances of incompleteness. As appropriate, Landlord’s writing shall suggest alternative language, designs, or other changes, if such are reasonably capable of production within the foregoing seven (7) day period.

 

-6-


Tenant shall cause appropriate corrections to be made to all bid materials within seven (7) days following receipt of Landlord’s writing, above-referenced. Tenant shall cause revised, corrected documents to be delivered to Landlord within such seven (7) day period.

 

If Tenant fails to return the revised, corrected materials within such seven (7) day period, or if Tenant’s bid materials timely returned suffer from the same or any additional or other deficiencies, inconsistencies or instances of incompleteness, then Landlord may perform such work as is necessary in its discretion to produce a full and complete set of bid documents. All costs of such work shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after written demand therefore by Landlord. Landlord shall prosecute any such work with the utmost diligence, and it shall give notice to Tenant of its actions relating thereto, in order that Tenant may participate in corrective efforts.

 

If at the conclusion of all work and other matters under this SETIA, tenant improvement allowance funds remain unused, Tenant may draw thereon to pay the cost of the preparation of bid documents and corrective work for which Tenant is otherwise responsible under this subparagraph (b). Otherwise, Tenant shall not be entitled to utilize the tenant improvement allowance for such costs and Landlord shall not be responsible for such costs.

 

(c) Bidding of Work to Subcontractors: Within seven (7) days after it receives bid documents which it reasonably judges to be full, complete, and free of any deficiencies, inconsistencies or instances of incompleteness, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a list of not more than three subcontractors for each of the trades which will be required to perform the work, as set forth in the final bid documents. Within three (3) days thereafter, Tenant may, by a writing delivered to Landlord, identify two additional subcontractors within each trade category. If Tenant fails to identify any such

 

-7-


subcontractors or omits to identify additional subcontractors in any categories, the work shall be bid to those contractors identified by Landlord.

 

The parties acknowledge that Landlord is executing a Design-Build Agreement for HVAC services. Accordingly, HVAC work will not be bid. Nor shall plumbing, electrical, or demolition work be bid; Landlord may award subcontracts within these trades in its discretion to responsible subcontractors who agree to perform the work on reasonable terms.

 

Subject to formulation of the final bid documents, the parties contemplate that subcontracting work may include the following trades: drywall, glazing, painting, acoustical, framing, and cabinet and millwork.

 

The work for 501 J Street, Suite 110 and 525 J Street shall thereupon be bid by Landlord, with responses due within fourteen (14) days after distribution of the bid packages. At its option, Landlord may at the same time bid the work for 501 J Street, Suite 225. Landlord and the entity retained by Tenant to prepare the bid documents will jointly perform all customary and usual services in connection with the bidding, including responding to questions from bidders, walking the project site with bidders, and collecting and opening bids.

 

Landlord may request that any bidders identified by Tenant produce materials reflecting their qualification(s), expertise, and financial condition. Failure by such parties to provide reasonable requested information shall entitle Landlord to disqualify that bidder at the time bids are opened.

 

Upon opening of bids, Landlord may disqualify any bidders identified by Tenant on the foregoing grounds or, in its discretion, on any grounds or for any reasons that a reasonably prudent owner would rely upon in evaluating the qualification or responsibility of a contractor in the trade in question.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time of bid opening Landlord may also reject the bid of any qualified subcontractor if its bid is not fully responsive.

 

-8-


(d) Award of Subcontracts: Landlord shall award subcontracts to the appropriate qualified, responsive low bidders within four (4) business days after the opening of the bids. In any categories of trade in which there are no qualified responsive bids, Landlord shall make diligent efforts to execute an appropriate subcontract within a reasonable period of time.

 

No subcontract shall be awarded to any subcontractor until and unless that subcontractor signs a written construction contract which includes provisions satisfactory to Landlord relating to insurance coverages, the full and complete authority of Landlord over the adequacy of the subcontractor’s performance, and the full and final authority of Landlord to interpret all plans, specifications, and contract documents.

 

(e) Construction of Tenant Improvements and Landlord’s Fee: Acting as general contractor and using the subcontractors selected pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Landlord shall cause the work for 501 J Street, Suite 110 and 525 J Street to be performed.

 

At is earliest convenience, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an estimated schedule for the completion of the work.

 

Landlord shall cause the work identified in the bid documents to be done in accordance with those plans. Landlord is obligated to provide only those tenant improvements which are reflected in the bid documents. Any subsequent changes or additions to those drawings shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be handled as Change Orders to the work. Except as provided above, Landlord may use its own labor or independent contractors to perform the work. Landlord may further retain such architects, construction managers, or others as it deems appropriate to supervise the work.

 

In the event Landlord or any subcontractors, in the course of construction, discover instances of incompleteness or inconsistency in any drawings, plans, or other bid materials provided by Tenant, Landlord shall ask the entities which prepared those materials to render interpretations,

 

-9-


clarifications, or revisions to the same in order to remedy the deficiency. If the entity preparing those materials fails to do so within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed three (3) business days and determined solely with reference to the preservation of smooth and continuous progress of the construction), then Landlord may perform such work and bill the cost thereof to Tenant, which cost Tenant shall pay within ten (10) days after written demand.

The date of completion of the work shall be the date on which such notice is given by Landlord to Tenant, and Landlord’s production of a Certificate of Occupancy shall be conclusive of Tenant’s ability to occupy the space. Landlord shall promptly address all punch list items. Tenant may occupy the space promptly after the punch list walk through, and such occupancy shall not prejudice its punch list. If certain punch list items require movement or removal of office equipment or furniture or displacement or disruption of Tenant’s personnel, that work may be done during off hours or on week ends. All punch list items shall be corrected within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the written punch list to Landlord’s representative.

STANDARDS FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES

 

The following standards for utilities and services are in effect. Landlord reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory modifications and additions hereto.

 

As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, conditions, provisions, or agreements of this Lease, Landlord shall:

 

1. On Monday through Friday, except holidays, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (and other times for a reasonable additional charge to be fixed by Landlord), ventilate the Premises and furnish air conditioning or heating on such days and hours, when in the reasonable judgment of Landlord it may be required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises. The air conditioning system achieves maximum cooling when the window coverings are closed. Landlord shall not be responsible for room temperatures if Tenant does not keep all window coverings in the Premises closed whenever the system is in operation. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper function and protection of said air conditioning system. Tenant agrees not to connect any apparatus, device, conduit or pipe to the Building chilled and hot water air conditioning supply lines. Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant nor its servants, employees, agents, visitors, licensees or contractors shall at any time enter mechanical installations or facilities of the Building or Project or adjust, tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said installations or facilities. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the air conditioning system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant’s adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Exhibit, including keeping window coverings closed as needed. Such work shall be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeyman’s wages for air conditioning mechanics. See Addendum paragraph 10

 

2. Furnish to the Premises, during the usual business hours on business days, electric current as required by the Building standard office lighting and fractional horsepower office business machines in an amount not to exceed normal business office consumption. Tenant agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical consumption be in excess of the aforesaid quantity or extend beyond normal business hours, to reimburse Landlord monthly for the measured consumption at the average cost per              hour charged to the Building during the period. If a separate meter is not installed at Tenant’s cost, such excess cost will be established by an estimate agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and if the parties fail to agree, such cost shall be established by an independent licensed engineer selected in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Tenant agrees not to use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises which may in any way increase the amount of such services usually furnished or supplied to said Premises, and Tenant further agrees not to connect any apparatus or device with wires, conduits or pipes, or other means by which such services are supplied, for the purpose of using additional or unusual amounts of such services without the written consent of Landlord. Should Tenant use the same to excess, the refusal on the part of Tenant to pay upon demand of Landlord the reasonable amount established by Landlord for such excess charge shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay rent under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights therein granted for such breach. Tenant’s use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building, or the              or wiring installation and Tenants shall not install or use or permit the installation or use of any computer or electronic data processing equipment in the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

3. Make water available in public areas for drinking and lavatory purposes only, but if Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose in addition to ordinary drinking and lavatory purposes, of which fact Tenant constitutes Landlord to be the sole judge, Landlord may install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of the installation thereof and throughout the duration of Tenant’s occupancy Tenant shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant’s own cost and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause such meter and equipment to be replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on said meter, as and when bills are rendered, and on default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred, or payments made by Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant and collectible by Landlord as such.

 

4. Provide janitor service to the Premises, provided the same are used exclusively as offices, and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant, and unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant no one other than persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for such purposes. If the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, they shall be kept clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, and to the satisfaction of Landlord, and by persons approved by Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of the Premises as offices. Cleaning (Janitorial) Specifications are attached to the Lease as Exhibit “D.”

 

Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator, if any, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning and electrical systems, when necessary, by reason of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations or improvements, when in the judgment of Landlord such actions are desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed, and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply elevator facilities, plumbing ventilating, air conditioning or electric service, when prevented from so doing by strike or accident or by any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, or by laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions, regulations or by reason of the requirements of any federal, state, county or municipal authority or failure of gas, oil or other suitable fuel supply or inability by services of reasonable obligence to obtain gas, oil or other suitable fuel supply. It is expressly understood and agreed that any covenants on Landlord’s part to furnish any services pursuant to any of the terms, covenants, conditions provisions or agreements of this Lessee, or to perform any act or thing for the benefit of Tenant, shall not be deemed breached if Landlord is unable to furnish or perform the same by virtue of a strike or labor trouble or any other cause whatsoever beyond Landlord’s control.

RIDER 1

 

OPTIONS TO EXTEND AT MARKET RENTAL RATE

 

This Lease Rider is attached to and made a part of that certain lease dated February 21, 1994 (the “Lease”) between FIFTH & I ASSOCIATES (“Landlord”) and SACRAMENTO COMMERCIAL BANK (“Tenant”).

 

(a) Options. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of the Lease, or would be in default but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two options (“Extension Options”) to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) years each (“Option Periods”) upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth hereinbelow. If Tenant desires to exercise its Extension Options granted herein, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of such election (“Extension Notice”) not later than one hundred eighty (180) days nor earlier than three hundred sixty (360) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease or any extension thereof.

 

(b) Proper Exercise. Despite a timely exercise by Tenant, Tenant’s Extension Options shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if at the end of the initial Term of the Lease or extension thereof, Tenant is in default (taking into account any applicable cure periods) of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease. Provided Tenant properly exercises the Extension Options, the Term of the Lease shall be extended for the Option Periods, and all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect during the Option Periods, except that the Annual Basic Rent shall be modified as set forth in Subparagraphs (c) and (d) below.

 

(c) Rent. The Annual Basic Rent payable during the Option Periods shall be at 95% of the fair market rental value of the Premises, as determined herein. The fair market rental value of the Premises shall be determined by Landlord based on prevailing market rentals then being paid for similar space in projects comparable to the Project in the Greater Downtown Sacramento area. In determining the fair market rental value of the Premises, Landlord shall specifically exclude any consideration of Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Premises and the value of any improvements to the Premises made by Tenant which Tenant has negotiated for the right to remove at the end of the Lease Term. References herein to “fair market rental value” shall include monthly basic rent and any concessions offered by Landlord within the above-described area, except for the reconditioning allowance, which shall be as specified below, but the calculation of monthly basic rent shall not be adjusted to incorporate any concessions, which shall be described separately from monthly basic rent. Landlord shall use its best efforts to provide Tenant with written notice of its determination of the fair market value of the Premises within thirty (30) days (but in no event later than sixty (60) days) after the earlier of (i) Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice and (ii) the last day upon which Tenant’s Extension Notice could be given, as required in Subparagraph (a) above. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days (“Tenant Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the new Annual Basic Rent within which to accept such new Annual Basic Rent or to reasonably object thereto in writing. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord within Tenant’s Review Period, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have approved of the new Annual Basic Rent determined by Landlord. In the event Tenant objects to the fair market rental value submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the fair market rental value for the Premises, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on the fair market rental value of the Premises within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then the fair market rental value for the Premises shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Subparagraph (d) below.

 

-1-


(d) Arbitration. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within fifteen (15) days of the Outside Agreement Date, appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate appraiser or broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraisal of commercial properties in the Greater Downtown Sacramento Market area. The two arbitrators so appointed shall, within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator, agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.

 

The determination of the three arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted fair market rental value for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental value for the Premises as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Subparagraph (c) above. Once the three arbitrators have been selected, Landlord and Tenant shall, each submit to the arbitrators their respective determinations of the fair market rental value of the Premises. The three arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days of the submittal of Landlord’s and Tenant’s determinations of the fair market rental value of the Premises, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted fair market rental value as the Annual Basic Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of their decision. Such decision shall be based upon the projected prevailing fair market rental value for similar space in projects similar to the Project in the Greater Downtown Sacramento Market area. The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

 

If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within the time period set forth above, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision in accordance with this Subparagraph (d), notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter shall be decided by submission to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association. All costs of arbitration shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.

 

(e) Reconditioning Allowance. Upon Tenant’s exercise of each option to extend, Landlord will provide Tenant a reconditioning allowance in the form of a rent credit. The reconditioning allowance for Tenant’s then current space shall be an amount equal to the first three (3) months’ base rent of the Extension Term(s), and shall be applied at the beginning of each renewal term. The reconditioning allowance shall be spent in improvements within the Premises.

 

(f) Base Year. The Base Year as referenced in Paragraph l.m and Addendum Paragraph 21 of this Lease shall also be the Base Year for the first twelve (12) month period of the Extension Period(s).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Lease Rider, in no event shall the Annual Basic Rent during the Option Period be less than the Annual Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the initial Term of this Lease or the preceding Option Period, as applicable.

5.1 Bank Review Responsibilities. SCB understands and agrees that the review of all plans pursuant to this Agreement by Bank is solely to protect the interests of Bank in the Building and the Premises, and Bank shall not be the guarantor of, nor responsible for, the correctness or accuracy of any such plans or compliance of such plans with applicable laws.

 

6. Tenant Improvement Allowance.

 

6.1 Amount. Bank will pay on behalf of SCB an amount equal to One Hundred Seventy-One Thousand, One Hundred Sixty Dollars ($171,160) (“Tenant Improvement Allowance”), expendable for the costs of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, including any amount paid to a project coordinator, construction consultant, or similar consultant (other than the Master Landlord acting in any such capacity, but Master Landlord shall not include Regis Contractors (or its successor entity) in this context).

 

6.2 Cost Breakdown; Disbursement. As soon as reasonably feasible during the Design Period, SCB shall submit to Bank a detailed cost breakdown of construction costs for the Tenant Improvements. Ninety percent (90%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Bank pursuant to draw requests submitted by SCB relating to work completed when the Tenant Improvements are thirty percent (30%), seventy percent (70%) and one hundred percent (100%) completed. Each draw request shall be accompanied by invoices and conditional lien releases and shall have been approved by the Designer verifying that the required work has been completed.

 

The final ten percent (10%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed after delivery to Bank of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises and expiration of any applicable lien periods.

 

6.3 Application. SCB shall pay the entire cost of the Tenant Improvements in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance before any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance is disbursed. The foregoing applies both to the original bid of the Contractor and to any change orders pursuant to Paragraph 7 below. In the event the Tenant Improvement Allowance is greater than the actual costs expended hereunder to complete the Tenant

 

-4-


Improvements, the excess shall be applied by Bank to rent payable by Bank under the Lease next coming due.

 

7. Change Orders. In the event that SCB requests any changes to the Final Plans, Bank shall approve such changes within one (1) business day after Bank’s receipt of SCB’s request, provided the changes do not create a Design Problem. If such changes increase the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements so that the revised cost for the Tenant Improvements exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance, SCB shall pay Contractor the increased costs, according to the invoices for the items relating to the changes provided by Contractor, prior to any further disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

 

8. Presence of Hazardous Substances. In the event that at any time the Premises are determined to contain hazardous substances, SCB shall cease work and promptly notify Bank and Master Landlord, who shall determine, pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease and the Assignment, the procedure and cost allocation to remove, encapsulate, contain, or otherwise dispose of such hazardous substances.

 

9. “As Built” Plans. Within thirty (30) days following completion of the Tenant Improvements, SCB shall deliver to Bank a final set of “as built” plans which incorporate all changes to the Final Plans.

 

10. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be sent in the manner and to the addresses set forth in the Assignment.

Exhibit 6 to Lease Restructuring and Extension Agreement

AGREEMENT CREATING PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

 

Fifth & I Associates (“Landlord”) and Sacramento Commercial Bank (“SCB”) enter into this Agreement Creating Pre-emptive Rights (“Pre-emptive Rights Agreement”) on the date indicated below.

 

  A. RECITALS:

 

This Pre-emptive Rights Agreement is made with reference to the following facts:

 

1. Contemporaneously with their execution of this Pre-emptive Rights Agreement, the parties are executing a Lease Restructuring and Extension Agreement and certain other agreements attached thereto. One of the purposes of those agreements is to provide additional office space required by SCB in the immediate future for its business operations.

 

2. Part of the consideration for those agreements is Landlord’s agreement to provide SCB with certain pre-emptive rights to lease certain further space (in addition to that described in paragraph 1 above), on specified terms, to accommodate SCB’s expansion and further needs for space during the later portions of the term of the new lease executed herewith between Landlord and Tenant.

 

3. As part of their agreement to restructure their leasing arrangements, Landlord and SCB intend to create the pre-emptive rights, and only the pre-emptive rights, set forth below.

 

4. The premises which are the subject of the pre-emptive rights created herein are on the second floor of the building located at 501 J Street, Sacramento, California, and are identified on the plan set forth on attached Exhibit “A” as suites 230, 210, 206, and 200. No other premises are subject to any pre-emptive rights hereunder. Except as provided in Section B, Paragraph 2(d) below, the exiting tenancies for these premises are scheduled to expire no later than the following dates:

 

Suite 230

    6/97

Suite 210

    4/99

Suite 206

    6/96

Suite 200

  12/94

Suite 230 comprises approximately 11,666 usable square feet.

 

-1-


  B. LIMITED PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS:

 

Landlord grants to SCB the limited and specific pre-emptive rights set forth below:

 

1. Suite 230 or 206:

 

Upon vacation of the premises by the existing tenant or early termination of the lease, Landlord shall deliver written notice to SCB of its opportunity to lease (“notice of opportunity to lease”) all or a portion of Suite 230 or all of Suite 206. Upon receipt of that notice, SCB may within ten business days thereafter elect to exercise the following pre-emptive rights:

 

(a) SCB may elect to rent 3,779 square feet located at either the Northern or Western end of what is now Suite 230 or all of what is now Suite 206. Those leased premises shall either (i) as to Suite 230, include the entire Northern or Western walls for what is now Suite 230 and are depicted (not to scale) on Exhibit A attached hereto as areas A and B, respectively, (the premises shall be a continuous and contiguous 3,779 square feet) or (ii) as to Suite 206, all of what is now Suite 206 as depicted (not to scale) on Exhibit A. SCB may not elect to lease only a portion of Suite 206.

 

If SCB elects to lease 3,779 square feet within Suite 230, all lease terms for 3,779 square feet within Suite 230 shall be the same as those then in effect under the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225, among other premises, except as follows: (i) Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance of $25 per useable square foot for 3,779 square feet and shall perform that work (within that budget) specified by SCB’s space planner, provided that space planning fees shall not be the responsibility of the Landlord and that costs in excess of the tenant improvement allowance shall be the responsibility of SCB, and

 

-2-


(ii) the termination date shall be the same as that specified in the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225.

 

If SCB elects to lease Suite 206, terms and conditions for Suite 206, shall be the same as those then in effect under the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225, except as follows: (i) rent per square foot shall be fair market rent and (ii) the termination date for the lease will be the same as for the lease of 501 J Street, Suite 225. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the tenant improvement allowance for Suite 206 be less than $25.00 per square foot.

 

(b) If it elects to lease 3,779 square feet within Suite 230, pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, SCB may also contemporaneously elect to lease a designated number of additional square feet in what is now Suite 230, provided however, that it shall make any such election in one of the following increments of additional square footage (over and above the 3,779 square feet elected under subparagraph (a) above):

 

Additional Square Footage


 

Total Square Footage


2,000

    5,779

3,000

    6,779

6,000

    9,779

7,887

  11,666

 

Tenant may not elect any square footages except those stated above. The space elected under this subparagraph shall be contiguous to that elected within Suite 230 under subparagraph (a) above. The boundary line of that space within what is now the interior of Suite 230 shall extend in a straight line from the interior of the exterior wall inward to the surface of the wall (on the inside of Suite 230) forming the separation between the hallway and Suite 230; that boundary line of the space shall at all points be at right angles to the wall forming the separation between the hallway and Suite 230.

 

-3-


All lease terms for space elected under this subparagraph (b) shall be the same as those then in effect under the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225, except as follows: (i) rent per square foot for the space in excess of the 3,779 square feet identified in subparagraph (a) above shall be fair market rent and (ii) the termination date of the lease shall be the same as for the lease of 501 J street, Suite 225.

 

(c) If it elects pursuant to subparagraphs (a) and (b) above to lease all of Suite 230 (11,666 square feet), SCB may also contemporaneously elect to lease all of Suite 206, if that space is available.

 

In that event, all lease terms for Suite 206 shall be the same as those then in effect under the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225, except as follows: (i) rent per square foot shall be fair market rent and (ii) the termination date of the lease shall be the same as for the lease of 501 J street, Suite 225. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the tenant improvement allowance for Suite 206 be less than $25.00 per square foot.

 

(d) If it elects pursuant to subparagraph (a) above to lease all of suite 206, SCB may also contemporaneously elect to lease 3,779 square feet within Suite 230 and additional square footage therein in the increments set forth in subparagraph (b) above, if and to the extent such space within Suite 230 is then available. Such additional leasing shall be on the terms stated in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, except to the extent inconsistent with this subparagraph.

 

(e) The procedure for the exercise of the foregoing pre-emptive rights following Landlord’s notice shall be governed by this subparagraph. To exercise its pre-emptive rights, SCB shall give Landlord a single notice within the ten day period stated above, which single notice shall state: (i) whether SCB elects to lease available space as set forth above, (ii) if applicable, which end of Suite 230 it elects to exercise rights under subparagraph (a), (iii) whether it also elects to lease space under subparagraphs (b), (c), or (d) above, and (iv) if applicable, what number of additional and total square feet it elects to lease under subparagraph (b).

 

-4-


If this notice includes elections under subparagraphs (b), (c), or (d) above, Landlord shall, within twenty days thereafter give SCB written notice stating its contended fair market rent (i.e. the rent per square foot for the square footage elected). Said figure may include free rent or a rental abatement, as well as appropriate allowance for amortization of tenant improvement funds expended. If SCB disputes that figure and the parties are unable to agree on a rent figure, the issue shall be resolved under the provisions of Section C below, provided that SCB must give Landlord its written notice to proceed under that provision within fourteen days after delivery of Landlord’s written notice of its proposed fair market rent. If SCB fails to timely give such notice, the rent shall be as stated in Landlord’s notice.

 

(f) Landlord shall be obligated to give a notice of opportunity to lease specified above only once during the term of the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225. If Landlord gives that notice during the term of that lease, SCB shall have one and only one opportunity to exercise the pre-emptive rights specified above.

 

If Landlord gives its notice of opportunity to lease and SCB fails to timely exercise its pre-emptive rights set forth above or SCB exercises any of those rights, SCB’s pre-emptive rights shall be extinguished as respects any remaining part of Suite 230 or Suite 206. Landlord shall have no obligation, under any circumstances, to give multiple notices of opportunity to lease relative to any of the space now comprising Suite 230 or Suite 206.

 

(g) Landlord and SCB shall execute a lease amendment for the lease of 501 J Street, Suite 225, to include within that lease any premises taken by SCB pursuant to this paragraph. The lease amendment shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. It shall be a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to perform, including its obligation to

 

-5-


provide possession, that SCB execute and deliver to Landlord such a lease amendment.

 

2. Suites 200, 210 and 230:

 

(a) Upon vacation of the premises by the existing tenants in Suites 200, 210 and 230, respectively, or early termination of each tenancy, Landlord shall deliver written notice to SCB of its opportunity to lease (“notice of opportunity to lease”) the respective suite. Upon receipt of that notice, SCB may within ten business days thereafter elect to exercise its pre-emptive right to lease the respective suite in its entirety. SCB’s election is limited to an election to take all or none of the space comprising each respective suite.

 

All lease terms shall be the same as those then in effect under the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225, except as follows: (i) the termination data shall be the same as for the lease of 501 J Street, Suite 225, and (ii) rent per square foot for each respective suite shall be fair market rent. SCB may exercise its pre-emptive right with respect to each suite by giving Landlord a single written notice within the ten day period stated above. Within twenty days after the delivery of SCB’s written notice electing to exercise its pre-emptive right as to any suite, Landlord shall give SCB written notice stating its intended fair market rent. Said figure may include free rent or a rental abatement, any tenant improvement allowance, and amortization of tenant improvement funds expended. If SCB disputes that figure and the parties are unable to agree on a rent figure, the issue shall be resolved under the provisions of section C below, provided that SCB must give Landlord its written notice to proceed under that provision within fourteen days after delivery of Landlord’s written notice of its proposed fair market rent. If SCB fails to timely give such notice, the rent shall be as stated in Landlord’s notice.

 

(b) Landlord shall be obligated to give the notice of opportunity to lease specified above only once during the term of the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225 as to each of

 

-6-


the suites presently known as Suite 200, 210 and 230, respectively. SCB shall have one and only one opportunity to exercise the pre-emptive right specified above in this paragraph. If Landlord once gives its notice of opportunity to lease as to Suites 200, 210 and 230, respectively, and SCB fails to timely exercise its pre-emptive rights, SCB’s pre-emptive right shall be extinguished as respects that suite. Landlord shall have no obligation, under any circumstances, to give multiple notices of opportunity to lease any one of the suites now known as 200, 210 and 230, respectively.

 

(c) Landlord and SCB shall execute Lease Amendments for the lease at 501 J Street, Suite 225, to include within that lease any premises taken by SCB pursuant to this paragraph. The Lease Amendment shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. It shall be a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to perform, including its obligation to provide possession, that SCB execute and deliver to Landlord such a Lease Amendment.

 

(d) SCB acknowledges that Landlord is currently negotiating with the tenant in possession of Suite 200 for renewal of that lease. Renewal of the lease for Suite 200 prior to the expiration of that lease in December of 1994 shall not trigger any pre-emptive right of any kind, it being the intention of parties that the pre-emptive right of SCB shall apply to the tenancy created following the renewal or extension of the lease for Suite 200 which is now scheduled to expire in December of 1994.

 

  C. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE:

 

When SCB timely gives Landlord written notice to proceed under Section C of this Pre-emptive Rights Agreement, the following procedures shall apply:

 

1. Within seven days after it gives notice of its election to proceed under this section, SCB shall deliver to Landlord a written statement of its proposed fair market rent for the subject premises. The relevant market shall be comparable

 

-7-


space within the greater downtown Sacramento area. That rent may include any lease concessions offered by Landlords within the above-reference market for leased premises, including without limitation, free rent, or any other payments or concessions.

 

2. Within ten days after SCB delivers the foregoing written statement of its proposed fair market rent, Landlord may accept the same by a notice given in writing to SCB. In that event, the rent terms shall be as stated in SCB’s notice. If Landlord elects to dispute SCB’s proposed rent, it shall, within the same ten day period, deliver to SCB its written rejection of SCB’s proposal. If Landlord fails to timely respond to SCB’s proposal, the same shall be deemed a rejection of SCB’s proposal.

 

3. Upon Landlord’s rejection of SCB’s proposal, Landlord and SCB shall, within fifteen days after the expiration of Landlord’s time to accept or reject SCB’s proposal (irrespective of whether actual rejection is given or Landlord makes no response to SCB’s notice), Landlord and SCB shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate appraiser or broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraisal or brokerage of comparable commercial properties in the Greater Downtown Sacramento Market. The two arbitrators so appointed shall, within fifteen days after the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator, jointly agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators. The arbitrators shall give written notice to the parties of the identities of the members of the arbitration panel.

 

4. The determination of the three arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or SCB’s submitted fair market rental for the subject premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental for the Premises, taking into account all relevant factors, including the other terms of the lease (i.e. the terms of the lease for 501 J Street, Suite

 

-8-


225, except rent and tenant improvement allowance). Upon notification that the panel has been formed, Landlord and SCB shall submit to each arbitrator their respective proposed figures for the fair market value of the premises, with copies to one another. Such submittal shall be made within seven days after notification of the formation of the panel and the identities of its members. Within thirty days after submittal of the last proposed figures, the arbitrators shall reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or SCB’s submitted fair market rent as the rent. The arbitrators shall notify Landlord and SCB of their decision. Such decision shall be based upon the projected prevailing fair market rent for comparable space in the Greater Downtown Sacramento Market area. The decision of the majority of the arbitrators shall control.

 

5. If either Landlord or SCB fail to appoint an arbitrator within the time set forth above, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall request and receive proposed figures for fair market rent, pursuant to the same timetable, and shall reach a decision in accordance with the foregoing subparagraph. That arbitrator shall notify Landlord and SCB of his or her decision, and the decision of such arbitrator shall be controlling.

 

If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both shall be dismissed and the matter shall be decided by the same standard by submission to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

All costs of arbitration shall be shared equally by Landlord and SCB.

 

  D. OTHER PROVISIONS:

 

1. Partial Invalidity: If any term or provision of this Pre-emptive Rights Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Pre-emptive Rights Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held

  Re: SARES/Sacramento Commercial Bank
       Our File No: 31965

 

Gentlemen;

 

This will confirm your additional agreements relating to the Agreement Creating Pre-Emptive Rights, which is an exhibit to the Lease Restructuring and Expansion Agreement:

 

(A) Article B, Paragraph 1 of the Agreement Creating Pre-Emptive Rights is amended to read as follows:

 

  1. Suites 206 and 230:

 

Landlord agrees that it shall not renew the leases of the existing tenants in Suites 206 or 230 without first offering the respective space(s) to SCB. Specifically, at any time within six (6) months of the expiration of each tenancy, Landlord may, by a writing delivered to SCB (“notice of


DIEPENBROCK, WULFF, PLANT & HANNEGAN

 

Mr. Daryl Foreman

Mr. John Hagestad

July 26, 1994

Page 2

 

opportunity to lease”), request it to elect whether it will lease the subject space on the terms set forth hereinafter. Within thirty (30) days thereafter, SCB may elect to lease the space identified in Landlord’s notice; it shall so elect by delivering to Landlord’s agent, the SARES-REGIS Group (or any successor), a writing unequivocally committing itself to lease the space in question upon the vacation of the prior tenant.

 

Landlord may give such notices at anytime within six (6) months of the expiration of the lease of the existing tenant.

 

Upon timely receipt of such a writing from SCB, Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts and all remedies available to it under the law and existing agreements to make the space available to SCB upon the expiration of the lease of the existing tenant. In the event SCB fails to deliver its unequivocal written commitment to so lease the space in question within said thirty (30) day period, then Landlord may re-lease the space to the existing tenant or may enter into such other leases or agreements for that space as it deems in its best interests, and SCB’s pre-emptive rights relative only to that space shall be completely extinguished; SCB’s remaining pre-emptive rights, if any, as to the other suite not yet offered pursuant to the foregoing “notice of opportunity to lease” shall not be affected thereby, however.

 

SCB’s written election, described above, shall further be in accordance with and governed by the following provisions:

 

(a) SCB may elect to rent 3,779 square feet located at either the Northern or Western end of what is now Suite 230 or all of what is now Suite 206. Those leased premises shall either (i) as to Suite 230, include the entire Northern or Western walls for what is now Suite 230 and are depicted (not to scale) on


DIEPENBROCK, WULFF, PLANT & HANNEGAN

 

Mr. Daryl Foreman

Mr. John Hagestad

July 26, 1994

Page 3

 

Exhibit A attached hereto as areas A and B, respectively, (the premises shall be a continuous and contiguous 3,779 square feet) or (ii) as to Suite 206, all of what is now Suite 206 as depicted (not to scale) on Exhibit A. SCB may not elect to lease only a portion of Suite 206.

 

If SCB elects to lease 3,779 square feet within Suite 230, all lease terms for 3,779 square feet within Suite 230 shall be the same as those then in effect under the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225, among other premises, except as follows: (i) Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance of $25 per useable square foot for 3,779 square feet and shall perform that work (within that budget) specified by SCB’s space planner, provided that space planning fees shall not be the responsibility of the Landlord and that costs in excess of the tenant improvement allowance shall be the responsibility of SCB, and (ii) the termination date shall be the same as that specified in the lease for 501 J Street, Suite 225.

timely give such notice, the rent shall be as stated in Landlord’s notice.

The remaining arbitrator shall determine the rental value based upon guide lines set forth herein within 180 days of the date the notice was sent. The rental rate as so determined shall be the rent hereunder for the applicable extended term. If the arbitrator’s determination indicates a rental rate more than the annual rent paid for the original term or any prior option period, Tenant may cancel this Lease within thirty days from receipt of the arbitrator’s decision by giving Landlord three (3) months prior written notice. All fees and expenses of appraiser or arbitrators shall be borne equally by the Tenant and Landlord.

As soon as the rental rate has been established, the rent paid by Tenant for the extended term shall be adjusted retroactively to the commencement date of the extended term.
