RECITALS

A. FRANCISCO BAY OFFICE PARK, a California limited partnership, as landlord (“Landlord”), and Sublandlord’s predecessor-in-interest, GPS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., a California corporation, as tenant (“GPSMS”), entered into that certain Gap Standard Office Lease dated as of July 1, 1997 (“Master Lease”) whereby Landlord leased to GPSMS all of the space (the “Master Premises”) in the building located at 900 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, California (the “Building”), as more particularly described in the Master Lease, upon the terms and conditions contained therein. A copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof.

B. GPSMS, as assignor, and Sublandlord, as assignee, entered into that certain Assignment and Assumption of Lease dated as of February 1, 2000 (“Assignment”) whereby GPSMS assigned its entire interest in the Master Lease to Sublandlord.

C. Sublandlord and Subtenant are desirous of entering into a sublease for that portion of the Master Premises consisting of the entire fifth (5th) floor of the Building and commonly known as Suite 500 (the “Sublease Premises”) on the terms and conditions hereafter set forth as depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Master Lease unless otherwise defined herein.

2. Demise. Sublandlord hereby subleases and demises to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby hires and subleases from Sublandlord the Sublease Premises (which the parties stipulate contain a total of 17,390 rentable square feet, as more particularly shown on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof), upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth. Subtenant shall also have the non-exclusive right in common with Sublandlord and all other tenants of the Building to use the interior and exterior common areas of the “Premises” (as defined in the Master Lease), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Master Lease (including without limitation the Rules and Regulations set forth on Exhibit C thereto) and this Sublease.

3. Lease Term. The term of this Sublease (“Term”) shall be for fifty-four (54) months, commencing on January 1, 2008 (“Sublease Commencement Date”) and ending, unless

 

1


sooner terminated as provided herein, on June 30, 2012 (“Sublease Expiration Date”). Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that no option to renew or extend beyond the Sublease Expiration Date is granted by this Sublease, and that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to exercise the Option to Extend described in Section 2.4 of the Master Lease. If for any reason whatsoever (other than Subtenant’s failure to comply with any of the Early Access Period delivery conditions required in the next paragraph) Sublandlord does not deliver possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant on or before the first business day following the execution of the Sublease by both parties (the “Delivery Date”), then Sublandlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused thereby or resulting therefrom, but until such time as Sublandlord can and does offer to deliver possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant, the Sublease Commencement Date shall be extended by one day for each day that possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant is delayed beyond November 1, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason (other than Subtenant’s failure to comply with any of the Early Access Period delivery conditions required in the next paragraph) Sublandlord fails to deliver possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant by November 1, 2007, then Subtenant may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Sublease by written notice to Sublandlord at any time until possession of the Sublease Premises is delivered to Subtenant, whereupon this Sublease shall terminate and Sublandlord shall promptly refund to Subtenant all monies paid and any deposits made by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease. Any delay in the Sublease Commencement Date beyond January 1, 2008 shall not extend the Term beyond June 30, 2012. Unless Subtenant provides written notice to Sublandlord of any unsatisfactory conditions of the Sublease Premises within forty-five (45) days of the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant shall be deemed to have formally accepted the same and acknowledged that, without limiting any of Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations under the Master Lease, the Sublease Premises, including, without limitation all base building systems, are in the condition called for under Section 9 of this Sublease.

Provided that (i) this Sublease has been fully executed and delivered by Sublandlord and Subtenant, (ii) Subtenant has submitted to Sublandlord a certificate of the insurance coverage required of Subtenant under this Sublease and the Master Lease and (iii) Subtenant has delivered the Deposit required under Section 6 below and Base Rental required upon Sublease execution under Section 5 below to Sublandlord, Sublandlord agrees to grant Subtenant non-exclusive access to the Sublease Premises on or before the Delivery Date for the sole purpose of allowing Subtenant to install Subtenant’s improvements (which tenant improvements are more particularly described on Exhibit C and are hereafter referred to as the “Initial Tenant Improvements”), furniture, equipment and telecommunications and data systems (which shall be made in accordance with this Sublease and the Master Lease (including without limitation Article 6 thereof)), such period of time prior to the Sublease Commencement Date referred to herein as the “Early Access Period.” Sublandlord shall have the right to exclude Subtenant from the Sublease Premises at any time and for any duration during the Early Access Period if Subtenant’s activities in the Sublease Premises violate the terms of this Section. All of the provisions of this Sublease shall be applicable during the Early Access Period except for Subtenant’s obligation to pay Rent.

4. Use. Notwithstanding the provisions of Fundamental Lease Provision (r) of the Master Lease, the Sublease Premises shall be used and occupied by Subtenant for general office uses only and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which

 

2


consent may be withheld in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Subtenant’s use shall comply in all respects with the terms of the Master Lease, including without limitation, Article 5 of the Master Lease, and shall at all times be in full compliance with all Environmental Requirements (as defined and set forth in Section 30.11 of the Master Lease).

5. Subrental.

(b) Prorations. If the Sublease Rent Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a month, a prorated installment of monthly Base Rental based on the actual number of days in such month shall be paid on the first day of the month in which the Sublease Rent Commencement Date occurs.

(c) Additional Rent. Beginning with the Sublease Commencement Date and continuing to the Sublease Expiration Date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as additional rent for this subletting the cost and expense of all Additional Services (as defined in Section 10.2 of the Master Lease) incurred at the request of, or on behalf of, Subtenant with respect to the Sublease Premises, and all other additional expenses, costs and charges payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease.

(d) Operating Expenses and Taxes. Beginning with the expiration of the calendar year 2008 (“Base Year”) and thereafter during the Term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord with each monthly payment of Base Rental as additional rent for this subletting an amount equal to 17.82 % (“Subtenant’s Share”) of the excess Operating Expenses (as set forth in Article 4 of the Master Lease) for the Master Premises over the total amount of Operating Expenses for the Master Premises incurred by Sublandlord during the Base Year pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease; provided, however, that if the Base Year Operating Expenses during the Term are not based on 12 months’ actual operation of the Master Premises at ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy or greater, then the portion of such expenses that vary based on occupancy shall be increased to reflect a ninety-five percent (95%) occupied Master Premises. Subtenant’s Share is a percentage which reflects the ratio of the rentable square feet in the Sublease Premises to the rentable square feet in the Master Premises. Should Sublandlord provide Subtenant any services, utilities or other items the costs of which would be properly chargeable as Operating Expenses under the Master Lease, Sublandlord may recover such costs as Operating Expenses under this Sublease to the extent Landlord could properly have included such costs in Operating Expenses and the amount of such costs (without any additional mark-up or fee) are reasonably incurred by Sublandlord (“Sublandlord-Incurred Expenses”). In the event Sublandlord seeks to recover such Sublandlord-Incurred Expenses, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with a reasonably detailed itemization of such Sublandlord-Incurred Expenses which itemizes such Sublandlord-Incurred Expenses separately from any detail of Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord and Subtenant shall pay all such Sublandlord-Incurred Expenses within thirty (30) days of Subtenant’s receipt of the itemization. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Sublease, Subtenant shall not be required to pay any excess Operating Expenses, Sublandlord-Incurred Expenses, or other Rent that is (a) fairly allocable to any period of time after the Term (except in connection with any holdover by Subtenant beyond the Sublease Expiration Date) or with respect to any portion of the Master Premises other than the Sublease Premises and interior and exterior common areas of the Master Premises, (b) due as a result of any default by Sublandlord (through no fault of Subtenant) of any of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Master Lease, or any disproportionate use of any utility or service supplied to any other occupant of the Master Premises, or associated with utilities or services of a type not provided to Subtenant, (c) payable as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or any of its employees, subtenants, agents or contractors, or (d) payable as a result of any Operating Expense charges for costs incurred in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials, except to the extent caused by the release or emission of the Hazardous Materials in question, by Subtenant or any of its agents, employees or contractors. Should the Subtenant dispute any amounts charged on account of Operating Expense increases or Sublandlord-Incurred Expenses, Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord of said dispute in writing as soon as the dispute is noted. Subtenant may, at its cost, within three (3) years following receipt of any particular statement or itemization of charges, upon reasonable prior notice to Sublandlord, audit Sublandlord’s books relevant to additional Rent and Operating Expenses.

 

4


Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each use their best efforts to cooperate with each other to resolve any discrepancies between Sublandlord and Subtenant in the accounting of additional Rent and Operating Expenses.

(e) Payment of Rent. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Sublease, Rent shall be payable in lawful money without demand, and without offset, counterclaim, or setoff in monthly installments, in advance, on the first (1st) day of each and every month during the Term of this Sublease. All of said Rent is to be paid to Sublandlord at its office at The Gap, Inc., 40 First Plaza, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102, Attn: Real Estate Accounts Payable, or at such other place or to such agent and at such place as Sublandlord may designate by written notice to Subtenant. Any additional rent payable on account of items which are not payable monthly by Sublandlord to Landlord under the Master Lease is to be paid to Sublandlord as and when such items are payable by Sublandlord to Landlord under the Master Lease unless a different time for payment is elsewhere stated herein, but in no event less than thirty (30) days after Subtenant has received a written request for payment from Sublandlord.

(f) Late Charge. If Subtenant (i) fails to pay any installment of Base Rental, Subtenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses Adjustment, or any other recurring charges (collectively, “Recurring Charges”), within five (5) days after receipt of written notice from Sublandlord that the same is due, or (ii) fails to pay any other amount for which Subtenant is obligated under this Sublease within ten (10) days after receipt of Sublandlord’s invoice, then, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an additional late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the total amount payable; provided, however, that if Subtenant fails twice in any calendar year to pay any Recurring Charge on the date the same is due, no such prior written notice shall be necessary and the late charge shall automatically and without notice apply to each successive Recurring Charge not paid on the date due during such calendar year. Subtenant acknowledges that late payments will cause Sublandlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Sublease, the exact amount of which costs are extremely difficult and impracticable to calculate. The parties agree that the late charge described above represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the extra costs incurred by Sublandlord as a result of such late payment. Such late charge shall not be deemed a consent by Sublandlord to any late payment, nor a waiver of Sublandlord’s right to insist upon timely payments at any time, nor a waiver of any remedies to which Sublandlord is entitled hereunder. In addition, all amounts payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder, exclusive of the late charge described above, if not paid when due, shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the Interest Rate (as defined in the Master Lease).

6. Security Deposit. Concurrently with the execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Deposit”) to be held by Sublandlord as security for the full and faithful performance by Subtenant of its covenants and obligations under this Sublease. As long as Subtenant is not in default and no state of facts exists that would be a default with the passage of time or giving of notice, as of June 30, 2009, the Deposit is reduced to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) and Sublandlord shall return to Subtenant the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).

The Deposit is not an advance Rent deposit, an advance payment of any other kind, or a measure of Sublandlord’s damage in case of Subtenant’s default. If Subtenant defaults in the full and timely performance of any or all of Subtenant’s covenants and obligations set forth in this

 

5


Sublease, and such default continues after the expiration of the applicable cure period, if any, then Sublandlord may, from time to time, without waiving any other remedy available to Sublandlord, use the Deposit, or any portion of the Deposit, to the extent necessary to cure or remedy the default or to compensate Sublandlord for all or a part of the damages sustained by Sublandlord resulting from Subtenant’s default. Subtenant shall immediately pay to Sublandlord in cash within five (5) days following demand, the amount so applied in order to restore the Deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant’s failure to immediately do so shall constitute a default under this Sublease. Sublandlord shall return any remaining portion of the Deposit to Subtenant within forty-five (45) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease (less any amounts that may be needed to compensate Sublandlord for any default by Subtenant). Sublandlord’s obligations with respect to the Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Sublandlord shall not be required to maintain the Deposit separate and apart from Sublandlord’s general or other funds and Sublandlord may commingle the Deposit with any of Sublandlord’s general or other funds. Subtenant shall not at any time be entitled to interest on the Deposit.

7. Signage. Subject to the terms of the Master Lease, including without limitation, the third paragraph of Article 21 thereof, and the provisions of this Section 7, at or about the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant space on the existing directory board in the main lobby of the Building for Subtenant’s name and Building standard signage at the entrance to Suite 500 for Subtenant’s name. The signage provided on the directory board in the main lobby of the Building shall be installed, maintained and removed at Sublandlord’s sole cost and expense. Except for the foregoing, Subtenant shall have no right to maintain Subtenant identification signs in any other location in, on, or about the Sublease Premises, the Building or surrounding property owned by Landlord. All aspects of the signage of Subtenant permitted pursuant to this Section 7, including without limitation, the location, size, design, color and other physical aspects thereof, shall be subject to Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s prior written approval, which approval by Sublandlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which approval by Landlord shall be in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 21 of the Master Lease. All signage shall also be subject to any covenants, conditions or restrictions encumbering the Sublease Premises and any applicable municipal or other governmental permits and approvals. The cost of signage at the entrance to Suite 500, including the installation, maintenance and removal thereof, shall be at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. If Subtenant fails to maintain its sign, or if Subtenant fails to remove same upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease and repair any damage caused by such removal, Sublandlord may do so at Subtenant’s expense and Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for all actual costs incurred by Sublandlord to effect such removal.

8. Parking. Subject to the terms of the Master Lease, including without limitation, Article 26 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall have the right, during the Term of this Sublease, to use up to fifty-five (55) of the 325 parking spaces in the Parking Facility of the Building at no additional charge. All such parking privileges shall be on a non-assigned basis.

9. Condition of Premises; Alterations.

(a) Condition of Sublease Premises. Subtenant acknowledges that it is subleasing the Sublease Premises “as-is” and that Sublandlord is not making any representation or warranty concerning the condition of the Sublease Premises and that Sublandlord is not

 

6


obligated to perform any work to prepare the Sublease Premises for Subtenant’s occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall deliver the Sublease Premises with the base building systems in good working condition; and if the base building systems are not so delivered, Sublandlord shall cause such building systems to be repaired at no expense to Subtenant within a reasonable time after Sublandlord’s receipt of a written request from Subtenant. Subtenant acknowledges that any supplemental systems, including but not limited to supplemental cooling and wiring for voice or data, on the Sublease Premises are provided to Subtenant in “as-is” condition and that Sublandlord is not making any representation or warranty concerning the condition of these supplemental systems. The responsibility for the maintenance of these supplemental systems shall be the sole responsibility of Subtenant throughout the Term of this Sublease. Unless Subtenant provides written notice to Sublandlord of any unsatisfactory conditions of the Sublease Premises within forty-five (45) days of the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Sublease Premises and to have waived all claims relating to the condition of the Sublease Premises.

(b) Tenant Improvement Allowance; Initial Tenant Improvements. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant is not entitled to receive a tenant improvement allowance or any other allowance from Sublandlord or Landlord in connection with this Sublease.

(b) Other Alterations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall not make or perform any Alterations or improvements in or to the Sublease Premises without Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s prior written consent. Sublandlord’s consent to any proposed Alterations or improvements by Subtenant to the Sublease Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but it shall not, ipso facto, be considered unreasonable for Sublandlord to withhold its consent even if Landlord has given its consent pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease. Landlord’s consent to Subtenant’s Alterations and improvements shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Master Lease, as incorporated herein; provided, however, that Sublandlord acknowledges that it conceptually approves the plans for the Initial Tenant Alterations attached hereto as Exhibit C (with the understanding that the final construction plans and specifications for such improvements remain subject to Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s approval). All Alterations made by or on behalf of Subtenant shall be at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, including without limitation, the cost of causing all such Alterations to be constructed in accordance with applicable laws and requirements of any appropriate governmental agency. As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any upgrades to the Sublease Premises that are required by Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the ADA) in connection with the construction of the Initial Tenant Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall have no responsibility for upgrades to the portions of the Premises other than the Sublease Premises, nor to the interior or exterior common areas as required by Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the ADA).

Any Alterations and improvements must be performed in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein, including Article 6 thereof, and in such manner as may be required to avoid causing or contributing to any labor disturbance, in accordance with plans and specifications as are approved in advance by Sublandlord, and subject to such other reasonable conditions as Sublandlord may impose thereon, including but not

 

7


limited to: (i) restricting the manner in which the work is to be performed so as to minimize any annoyance to or interference with the rights and operations of any other tenants or occupants of the Building; (ii) requiring Subtenant to provide builder’s risk, protective liability or other insurance; (iii) requiring a security deposit or additional security deposit from Subtenant for any Subtenant Alterations (other than the Initial Tenant Alterations) costing in excess of $150,000.00; or (iv) requiring Subtenant to provide to Landlord and Sublandlord, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, lien and completion bonds to ensure Landlord and Sublandlord against any liability for or damage or loss from liens and to ensure completion of the work for any Subtenant Alterations (other than the Initial Tenant Alterations) costing in excess of $150,000.00. The person selected by Subtenant to make any Alterations or improvements must be a reputable, duly licensed contractor and must first be approved in writing by Landlord and Sublandlord. If any work outside the Sublease Premises, or any work on or adjustment to any Building Systems is required in connection with or as a result of Subtenant’s work, such additional work shall be performed at Subtenant’s expense by contractors approved by Sublandlord. Sublandlord’s right to review and approve (or withhold approval of) Subtenant’s plans, drawings, specifications, contractor(s) and other aspects of construction work proposed by Subtenant is intended solely to protect Sublandlord, the Building and Sublandlord’s interests. No approval or consent by Sublandlord shall be deemed or construed to be a representation or warranty by Sublandlord as to the adequacy, sufficiency, fitness or suitability thereof or compliance thereof with applicable laws or other requirements. Subject to Sublandlord’s review of the constructions drawings, Sublandlord agrees that in connection with the Initial Tenant Improvements only, (a) Sublandlord will not require an additional security deposit or lien and completion bond as contemplated in items (iii) and (iv) above and (b) Subtenant shall have no obligation to remove the Initial Tenant Improvements from the Sublease Premises as a condition of surrender upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term; provided that Subtenant shall remove any and all Roof Alterations and restore the roof to the condition existing prior to such installation at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense and in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease.

Subtenant shall deliver the Sublease Premises to Sublandlord on the Sublease Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Sublease in the condition required by the Master Lease (but in no event will Subtenant be required to remove any fixtures, improvements or Alterations installed in the Sublease Premises prior to the delivery of possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant) and, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Article 6 of the Master Lease to the contrary, shall remove at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense any and all Alterations or other improvements made by Subtenant (except for the Initial Tenant Improvements as set forth above), if requested to do so by Sublandlord at the time Subtenant requests Sublandlord’s consent thereto, and repair any damage caused by such removal. Subtenant shall remove all of Subtenant’s personal property from the Sublease Premises on or before the Sublease Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Sublease. Subject to all applicable laws, in the event that Subtenant shall fail to so remove its personal property, then any such personal property, shall, at the sole option of Sublandlord, automatically become the property of Sublandlord upon the Sublease Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Sublease, and thereafter Sublandlord may retain or dispose of in any manner the personal property not so removed without any liability whatsoever to Subtenant.

10. Incorporation of Terms of Master Lease.

(a) This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease. Subject to the modifications set forth in this Sublease and except as set forth in subparagraph (vii) below, the terms of the Master Lease are incorporated herein by reference, and shall, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant (as if they were Landlord and Tenant, respectively, under the Master Lease) constitute the terms of this Sublease except to the extent that they are inapplicable to, inconsistent with, or modified by, the terms of this Sublease, and only insofar as they apply to the Sublease Premises and not to the other portions of the Master Premises under the Master Lease. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and provisions of the Master Lease and the terms and provisions of this Sublease, the terms and provisions of this Sublease shall govern. Subtenant acknowledges that it has reviewed the Master Lease and is familiar with the terms and conditions thereof.

(b) For the purposes of incorporation herein, the terms of the Master Lease are subject to the following additional modifications:

(i) In all provisions of the Master Lease (under the terms thereof and without regard to modifications thereof for purposes of incorporation into this Sublease) requiring the approval or consent of Landlord, Subtenant shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of both Sublandlord and Landlord.

(ii) In all provisions of the Master Lease requiring Tenant to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide Landlord with evidence, certificates, or any other matter or thing, Subtenant shall be required to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide, as the case may be, the same to both Landlord and Sublandlord. In any such instance, Subtenant shall deliver such evidence, certificate or other matter or thing to Sublandlord at least two (2) business days prior to the date due to Landlord, and Sublandlord shall determine if such evidence, certificate or other matter or thing shall be satisfactory in Sublandlord’s reasonable judgment.

(iii) Sublandlord shall have no obligation to restore or rebuild any portion of the Sublease Premises after any destruction or taking by eminent domain; it being understood, however, that Subtenant shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by written notice to Sublandlord if the Sublease Premises (excluding any Alterations to the Sublease Premises made by Subtenant) are not restored to a substantially repaired condition (such that the same are suitable for the usual conduct of Subtenant’s business therefrom) within the time frames required under the Master Lease following any such destruction or taking by eminent domain.

(iv) Subtenant shall not be entitled to any allowances (design, construction, moving or any other allowances) granted to Tenant under the Master Lease.

(v) With respect to any non-monetary obligation of Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, wherever the Master Lease grants to Sublandlord a specified number of days to perform its obligations under the Master Lease, except where a specific number of days is provided in this Sublease, Subtenant shall have (a) five (5)

 

9


fewer days to perform such obligations, including, without limitation, curing any defaults.

(vi) To the extent the Master Lease has been incorporated herein, Sublandlord shall have the rights and benefits of the Landlord under the Master Lease, but Sublandlord (a) shall have no obligation to Subtenant to perform the duties of Landlord under the Master Lease (including, without limitation, duties relating to the condition, maintenance, repair, building services, rebuilding, restoration, security and operation of the Sublease Premises or Building and compliance of the Sublease Premises with Applicable Laws); provided, however, that Sublandlord shall be required to exercise its right to repair under paragraph I of the General Conditions to the Master Lease if Landlord fails to perform its repair obligations under the Master Lease and (i) such failure materially and adversely impairs Subtenants ability to use the Sublease Premises or any material portion thereof for the operation of its business pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, (ii) such failure poses a material and imminent risk to the health or safety of persons and (iii) Subtenant advances all costs of repair to Sublandlord; (b) shall have no liability whatsoever to Subtenant for, and does not herein make for, the benefit of Subtenant any of, the representations, warranties, indemnities, releases or waivers of Landlord under the Master Lease, and (c) shall (without in any way limiting or altering its obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense to cause Landlord to perform its obligations under the Master Lease) have no liability to Subtenant for Landlord’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of or failure to perform any of Landlord’s duties under the Master Lease. In connection with any advances made by Subtenant due to Landlord’s failure to comply with repair obligations, Sublandlord shall take all commercially reasonable efforts, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, to obtain reimbursement of such expenses from Landlord.

(vii) The following provisions of the Master Lease are specifically excluded and are not incorporated into and made a part of this Sublease: Fundamental Lease Provisions (a), (b), (d), (f), (i), (j), (k), (1), (m), (n), (o), (p), (s), (u), (v), (w), (x), and (y); General Conditions D, E, G, and I; Article 1; Article 2; Sections 3.4, 4.1, 4.4(g), 4.5, 5.1, 10.4, Article 11; Section 12.3(1)(C); Article 15; Article 16; Article 17; Section 19.2; the first, second and fourth paragraphs of Article 21; Section 27.1, Articles 28 and 29; Section 30.10; Articles 31, 32, and 33; and Exhibits B, F, G, H, and J.

11. Subtenant’s Obligations; Subtenant Indemnification. Subtenant covenants and agrees that all obligations of Sublandlord (other than the obligation to pay rent) under the Master Lease (except to the extent that such obligations accrued prior to the delivery of the Sublease Premises and remain unperformed) shall be done or performed by Subtenant with respect to the Sublease Premises, except (i) as otherwise provided by this Sublease or (ii) for matters caused or controlled by Sublandlord, and Subtenant’s obligations shall run to Sublandlord and Landlord as Sublandlord may determine to be appropriate or be required by the respective interests of Sublandlord and Landlord. Subtenant expressly agrees that all of the indemnifications of Subtenant made pursuant to the Master Lease, including without limitation, the indemnification by Subtenant set forth in Section 12.2 (Subtenant’s’ general indemnification) and Section 30.11(5) (Subtenant’s Environmental Losses indemnification) of the Master Lease, shall run to and be for the benefit of, the Landlord Parties (as defined in Section 30.11(5) of the Master

Lease) and Sublandlord and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents. Sublandlord agrees that all of the indemnifications of Sublandlord made pursuant to the Master Lease by virtue of incorporation under Section 10 above, including without limitation, the indemnification by Sublandlord set forth in Section 12.1, shall run to and be for the benefit of, Subtenant and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents. In addition, Subtenant agrees to indemnify Sublandlord and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, and hold them harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of (i) Subtenant’s failure to perform, observe or pay any of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Master Lease which, as a result of this Sublease, became an obligation of Subtenant, and (ii) any breach of the terms of the Master Lease or this Sublease by Subtenant or any of Subtenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, assignees, sublessees, transferees, representatives, guests, customers, or invitees, Sublandlord agrees to indemnify Subtenant and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, and hold them harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of (i) Sublandlord’s failure to perform, observe or pay any of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Master Lease which are not expressly incorporated herein as an obligation of Subtenant, and (ii) any breach of the terms of the Master Lease or this Sublease by Sublandlord or any of Sublandlord’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, assignees, sublessees, transferees, representatives, guests, customers, or invitees. If Subtenant makes any payment to Sublandlord pursuant to this indemnity, Subtenant shall be subrogated to the rights of Sublandlord concerning said payment. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

Subtenant shall not do, nor permit to be done, any act, omission or thing which is, or with notice or the passage of time would be, a default under this Sublease or the Master Lease, specifically including, without limitation, any act, omission or thing which would violate the terms of Section 30.11 of the Master Lease regarding the Tenant’s covenants and obligations with respect to Hazardous Materials and compliance with Environmental Requirements. Without in any way limiting the provisions of the Master Lease which are applicable to Subtenant, Subtenant hereby specifically agrees that no Hazardous Materials shall be installed, handled, generated, stored, disposed of, discharged, released, abated, removed, transported, or used or handled in any way in, on, or about the Sublease Premises by Subtenant, or any Subtenant Party (the foregoing referred to in this subparagraph as “Handling by Subtenant”) without Sublandlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, normal quantities and use of those Hazardous Materials customarily used in the conduct of general office activities, such as copier fluids and cleaning supplies, may be used in and stored at the Sublease Premises without Sublandlord’s prior written consent, provided that Subtenant’s activities at or about the Sublease Premises and the foregoing Handling by Subtenant of all Hazardous Materials shall comply at all time with all Environmental Requirements. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant’s violation of any of the foregoing provisions regarding the Handling by Subtenant of Hazardous Materials or a violation of any of the provisions of Section 30.11 of the Master Lease shall constitute a material default under the Sublease and shall give rise to all of Sublandlord’s rights and remedies under the Sublease and

12. Sublandlord’s Obligations. Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant shall be entitled to receive all utilities, services and repairs provided by Landlord to Sublandlord under the Master Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises. Subtenant shall look solely to Landlord for all such utilities, services and repairs, and shall not, under any circumstances, seek nor require Sublandlord to perform or provide any of such utilities, services or repairs, nor shall Subtenant make any claim upon Sublandlord for any damages which may arise by reason of Landlord’s default under the Master Lease; provided, however, that (i) upon written notice from Subtenant to Sublandlord that Landlord has failed to provide or perform any utilities, services or repairs required of Landlord under the Master Lease, or other obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease which affect the use and enjoyment of the Sublease Premises by Subtenant, Sublandlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Landlord to cure or correct such failure as soon as reasonably practicable; and (ii) Sublandlord shall be required to exercise its right to repair under paragraph I of the General Conditions to the Master Lease if Landlord fails to perform its repair obligations under the Master Lease and (1) such failure materially and adversely impairs Subtenant’s ability to use the Sublease Premises or any material portion thereof for the operation of its business pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, (2) such failure poses a material and imminent risk to the health or safety of persons and (3) Subtenant advances all costs of repair to Sublandlord. Subtenant shall have no right to cure any default by Sublandlord under the Master Lease or this Sublease. Sublandlord shall not amend or modify the Master Lease in any way so as to materially or adversely affect Subtenant or its interest hereunder, materially increase Subtenant’s obligations hereunder or materially restrict Subtenant’s rights hereunder, without the prior written consent of Subtenant; provided, however, that if, upon termination of the Master Lease between Landlord and Sublandlord, (i) Landlord has agreed in writing to continue the Sublease in full force and effect as a direct lease between Landlord and Subtenant substantially in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease for the balance of the Term hereof and (ii) such direct lease does not impose a greater financial burden on Subtenant and does not otherwise materially and adversely affect Subtenant’s rights as tenant for the Subleased Premises, then such termination shall not be deemed to be a breach of this provision.

Unless Subtenant first obtains the written consent of Sublandlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Subtenant shall not have the right to arrange directly with Landlord to perform any Alterations or improvements to the Sublease Premises, or to obtain any services, utilities or repairs, other than customary and routine services which currently are being provided by Landlord to the Sublease Premises. Any condition resulting from a default by Landlord shall not constitute as between Sublandlord and Subtenant an eviction, actual or constructive, of Subtenant, and no such default shall excuse Subtenant from the performance or observance of any of its obligations to be performed or observed under this Sublease, or entitle Subtenant to receive any reduction in or abatement of the Rent provided for in this Sublease. In furtherance of the foregoing, Subtenant does hereby waive any cause of action and any right to bring any action against Sublandlord by reason of any act or omission of Landlord under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if due to a casualty, condemnation, interruption of services or utilities affecting the Sublease Premises, or any other reason, the rental amounts

 

12


payable by Sublandlord to Landlord under the Master Lease are abated or reduced with respect to the Sublease Premises, then the Rent payable by Subtenant hereunder shall likewise be proportionately abated or reduced. Subject to Sublandlord’s rights and remedies under the Master Lease, Sublandlord covenants and agrees with Subtenant that Sublandlord will pay all fixed rent and additional rent payable by Sublandlord pursuant to the Master Lease and otherwise perform all of the obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease to the extent that failure to perform the same would adversely affect Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Sublease Premises.

13. Default by Subtenant.

(a) Each of the following shall be an “Event of Default” by Subtenant and a material breach of the provisions of this Sublease: if Subtenant (i) fails to pay in full any amounts owed under this Sublease on the date due and such failure continues for more than three (3) days after Subtenant’s receipt of a written notice of delinquency from Sublandlord; or (ii) fails to perform any other obligation, term, covenant or condition of this Sublease or of the Master Lease which pursuant to this Sublease is the obligation of the Subtenant, and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after receiving notice thereof from Sublandlord, unless the same cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30)-day period, in which event Subtenant shall not be deemed in default if Subtenant commences to cure within 30 days and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, or (iii) commits any act or omission, or allows to be committed any act or omission, which constitutes an “Event of Default” with respect to any of the terms, obligations, covenants or conditions under the Master Lease applicable to the Tenant under this Sublease. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Subtenant, Sublandlord may, at Sublandlord’s option without any further demand or notice, in addition to any other remedy or right, given hereunder or by law, do any of the following:

(i) Subject to all applicable legal due process requirements, re-enter the Sublease Premises, take possession thereof, eject all persons therefrom using all necessary force to do so, and, with or without re-entry, declare this Sublease at an end, in which event Subtenant shall, in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.2 (or any successor statute, pay Sublandlord a sum of money equal to the worth at the time of award of the aggregate of (1) the unpaid rent, which had been earned at the time of termination, (2) the amount by which (i) the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award by the Court having jurisdiction thereof exceeds (ii) the amount of such rental loss that the Subtenant proves could have been reasonably avoided by Sublandlord, (3) the amount by which (i) the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds (ii) the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could reasonably be avoided, and (4) all other amounts necessary to compensate Sublandlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Subtenant’s default or which in the ordinary course of things would, be likely to result therefrom, including actual or anticipated costs of re-leasing the Sublease Premises. The amounts covered by items (1) and (2) shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate described in the Master Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount described, in (3) shall be discounted at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

 

13


(ii) In accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (or any successor statute), Subtenant acknowledges that this Sublease shall continue in effect for so long as Sublandlord does not elect to terminate the Sublease in accordance with item (i) above. Without termination of Subtenant’s right to possession of the Sublease Premises Landlord shall have the right to collect, by action or otherwise, each installment of Base Rental or other sum as the same becomes due and payable, which rent or other sum shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date when due until paid, or enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Sublease or the Master Lease. Acts of maintenance, preservation or efforts to lease the Sublease Premises, or the appointment of a receiver upon application of Sublandlord to protect Sublandlord’s interest under this Sublease, shall not constitute an election by Sublandlord to terminate Subtenant’s right to possession. In addition to its other rights under this Sublease, Sublandlord has the remedy described in California Code Section 1951.4 (Sublandlord may continue the Sublease in effect after Subtenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Base Rental and other amounts as they become due, if Subtenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

(b) Sublandlord, when exercising any right of re-entry set forth above, and subject to all legal due process requirements, may remove all Subtenant’s property, from the Sublease Premises; and such property may be stored by Sublandlord in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the sole cost and for the account of Subtenant. If Sublandlord does not elect to store any or all of Subtenant’s property left in the Sublease Premises, Sublandlord may consider such property to be abandoned by Subtenant, and Sublandlord may thereupon dispose of such property in any manner deemed appropriate by Sublandlord. Any proceeds realized by Sublandlord on the disposal of any such property shall be applied first to offset all expenses of storage and sale, then credited against Subtenant’s outstanding obligations to Sublandlord under this Sublease (and any balance remaining after satisfaction of all obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease shall be delivered to Subtenant). Notwithstanding any reletting by Sublandlord without termination of this Sublease allowed above and by law, Sublandlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Sublease for any such previous breach. Sublandlord’s right of entry shall include the right to remodel the Sublease Premises and re-let the Sublease Premises. All costs incurred in such entry and re-letting shall be paid by Subtenant.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs, Sublandlord may perform such covenant or condition at its sole option. All costs incurred by Sublandlord in so performing shall immediately be reimbursed to Sublandlord by Subtenant.

(d) The rights and remedies of Sublandlord set forth herein are not exclusive, and Sublandlord may exercise any other right or remedy available to it under this Sublease, the Master Lease, at law, or in equity.

14. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Subtenant pays all of the Rent due hereunder and performs all of Subtenant’s other obligations hereunder, subject to all applicable notice and cure provisions, Subtenant shall have the right to peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Sublease Premises as against Sublandlord and all persons claiming by, through or under Sublandlord.

15. Notices. Subtenant agrees, with respect to the Sublease Premises, to comply with and remedy any default in this Sublease or the Master Lease which is Subtenant’s obligation to cure, within the period allowed to Sublandlord under the Master Lease (as modified in Section 10(b)(v) of this Sublease). Sublandlord shall forward to Subtenant, promptly upon receipt thereof by Sublandlord, a copy of each notice of default received by Sublandlord in its capacity as Tenant under the Master Lease or from any governmental authorities which affects the Sublease Premises. Subtenant agrees to forward to Sublandlord, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any notices received by Subtenant from Landlord or from any governmental authorities which affect the Sublease Premises. All notices, demands and requests shall be in writing and shall be sent either by hand delivery or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (e.g., Federal Express), in either case return receipt requested, to the address of the appropriate party. Notices, demands and requests so sent shall be deemed given when the same are received, with the exception that any notice received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal-holiday shall not be deemed received until the next business day.

16. Broker. Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that Colliers International (“Colliers”) represented Sublandlord in this transaction and that NAI BT Commercial (“BT”) represented Subtenant in this transaction. Sublandlord shall pay all commissions due to Colliers pursuant to a separate agreement between Gap and Colliers. Each party represents and warrants

 

15


to the other that it has had no dealings with any other brokers, finders, or agents who might be entitled to a commission, fee or other compensation in connection with the negotiation or consummation of this Sublease other than Colliers and BT. Each party agrees to indemnify the other, and hold it harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by said party as a result of a breach of this representation and warranty by the other party.

17. Consent of Landlord. Article 11 of the Master Lease requires Sublandlord to notify Landlord of its intention to enter into a Sublease and in some cases to obtain the prior consent of Landlord to a Sublease. Sublandlord shall notify Landlord of Sublandlord’s intent to enter into this Sublease and make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a recognition agreement within thirty (30) days of the full execution of this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that this Sublease will be of no force and effect in the event Landlord’s consent is required and Landlord does not consent to this Sublease; provided, however, that in such event, if Landlord does not give its consent to this Sublease for any reason whatsoever within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, then Subtenant each may as its sole and exclusive remedy elect to terminate this Sublease by written notice to Sublandlord, whereupon Sublandlord shall promptly return to Subtenant all monies paid and any deposits made by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease and this Sublease shall thereupon be deemed null and void and of no effect (except for those provisions expressly stated herein to survive a termination).

18. Termination of the Master Lease. If for any reason the term of the Master Lease shall terminate prior to the Sublease Expiration Date pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease existing as of the date of this Sublease, this Sublease shall automatically be terminated. Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason of such termination unless said termination shall have been caused by the default of Sublandlord under the Master Lease or this Sublease, and said Sublandlord default was not as a result of a Subtenant default hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease or the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall not voluntarily terminate the Master Lease during the Term of this Sublease for any reason (excluding any termination in connection with any damage to or destruction of the Sublease Premises caused by a casualty or eminent domain action) unless and until (i) Landlord has agreed in writing to continue the Sublease in full force and effect as a direct lease between Landlord and Subtenant substantially in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease for the balance of the Term hereof and (ii) such direct lease does not impose a greater financial burden on Subtenant and does not otherwise materially and adversely affect Subtenant’s rights as tenant for the Subleased Premises. If Landlord so consents, Subtenant shall attorn to Landlord in connection with any such voluntary termination and shall execute an attornment agreement in such form as may reasonably be requested by Landlord, as long as the attornment agreement does not materially adversely affect the use by Subtenant of the Sublease Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, increase Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, or materially decrease Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease

19. Assignment and Subletting.

(a) Subtenant shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, sell, assign, sublease, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer or

 

16


hypothecate all or any part of the Sublease Premises or Subtenant’s interests in, to or under this Sublease (collectively, a “transfer”) without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such transfer by Subtenant without Sublandlord’s prior written consent shall be void and shall constitute a material Event of Default by Subtenant. Subtenant shall advise Sublandlord by written notice of (i) Subtenant’s intent to assign this Sublease or sublease all or a portion of the Sublease Premises, or make any other transfer, (ii) the name of the proposed assignee, sublessee or transferee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord that such proposed assignee, sublessee or transferee is comparable in reputation, stature and financial condition to tenants then leasing comparable space in Comparable Buildings (as defined in General Condition “B” of the Master Lease), and (iii) all of the material terms of the proposed assignment, sublease or transfer. Sublandlord shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, and any additional information requested by Sublandlord concerning the proposed assignee’s, subtenant’s or transferee’s financial responsibility, elect one of the following:

(i) Consent to such proposed assignment, sublease or transfer;

(ii) Refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds that are set forth with reasonable particularity in a written notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant; or

(iii) Elect to terminate the Sublease with respect to that portion of the Sublease Premises which would have been demised under the proposed sublease, assignment or transfer (as of the effective date of the proposed sublease, assignment or transfer), but only if such portion is in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Sublease Premises; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, if Sublandlord elects to terminate, Subtenant shall have the right to revoke its proposed sublease, assignment or transfer by written notice to Sublandlord given within five (5) days after Subtenant’s receipt of Sublandlord’s election notice, in which event the proposed sublease, assignment or transfer shall be deemed null and void and this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect. If Sublandlord elects to terminate, and such election is not timely revoked by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of the date upon which Subtenant shall surrender the Sublease Premises to Sublandlord, in whole or in part, as the case may be, which date shall not be earlier than the date fixed by Subtenant for the commencement of the proposed subletting assignment, or transfer nor more than thirty (30) days after such effective date. If Sublandlord accepts a surrender of less than the entire Sublease Premises, the rent for the remainder of the term of this Sublease shall be prorated by Sublandlord based on the proportion of the total area of the Sublease Premises remaining to the total area demised to Subtenant pursuant to the Sublease prior to such surrender.

(b) In the event that Subtenant requests Sublandlord’s consent to an assignment, sublease or other transfer under the provisions of this Section 19, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord’s reasonable processing costs (not to exceed $500.00) and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $1,500.00) incurred in giving such consent, as well as any amounts required to be paid to Landlord in connection with same. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment, sublease, or other transfer, Subtenant shall at all times remain directly,

 

17


primarily and fully responsible and liable for all payments owed by Subtenant under the Sublease and for compliance with all obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of the Sublease. In the event of any assignment, sublease, or other transfer, Subtenant agrees to pay to Sublandlord fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which all sums and other economic consideration payable to Subtenant in connection with the assignment, sublease or transfer exceed the Rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease (or a proportionate amount thereof representing the portion of the Sublease Premises subject to the sublease, assignment or other transfer if less than the entire Sublease Premises is affected) after Subtenant has recovered its applicable unamortized tenant improvements and sub-subleasing brokerage, attorneys’ fees and demising costs.

(c) Sublandlord shall have the right to sell, encumber, transfer and/or assign all of its rights and obligations under this Sublease or the Master Lease.

(d) No consent by Sublandlord to any assignment, sublease or other transfer by Subtenant shall relieve Subtenant of any obligation to be performed by Subtenant under this Sublease, whether arising before or after the assignments sublease or other transfer. The consent by Sublandlord to any assignment, sublease or other transfer shall not relieve Subtenant from the obligation to obtain Sublandlord’s express written consent to any other or further assignment, sublease or other transfer. The acceptance of rent by Sublandlord from a proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee shall not constitute consent to such assignment, sublease or transfer.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Subtenant may assign this Sublease or sublet all or any portion of the Sublease Premises, without the requirement of any consent by Sublandlord (but subject to Landlord’s consent if and to the extent required under the Master Lease), recapture or payment of excess rent, to any successor corporation to Subtenant by way of merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization, or to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Subtenant, or to any party acquiring all or substantially all of Subtenant’s assets or stock, or to any entity with whom Subtenant is undertaking or will undertake a joint venture or similar joint research and development, marketing, distribution, sales or development project at the Sublease Premises (collectively, “Permitted Transferees”, individually, “Permitted Transferee”).

(f) Subtenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Sublandlord, as security for Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, all rent and other payments and consideration from any subletting or any other transfers of the Sublease Premises and Sublandlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Subtenant for purposes hereof, or a receiver for Subtenant appointed on Sublandlord’s application, may collect such rents and other payments and consideration and apply the same toward Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, except that, until the occurrence of an Event of Default by Subtenant, Subtenant shall have the right and license to collect all such rents, payments and other consideration.

20. Limitation of Estate. Subtenant’s estate shall in all respects be limited to, and be construed in a fashion consistent with, the estate granted to Sublandlord by Landlord. In the event Sublandlord is prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Sublease by a breach by Landlord of a term of the Master Lease, then Sublandlord’s sole obligations in regard to its obligation under this Sublease shall be to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts in

 

18


pursuing the correction or cure by Landlord of Landlord’s breach, and (ii) exercise its right to repair under paragraph I of the General Conditions to the Master Lease if Landlord fails to perform its repair obligations under the Master Lease and (1) such failure materially and adversely impairs Subtenant’s ability to use the Sublease Premises or any material portion thereof for the operation of its business pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, (2) such failure poses a material and imminent risk to the health or safety of persons and (3) Subtenant advances all costs of repair to Sublandlord.

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

22. Intentionally Omitted.

23. Insurance. Subtenant shall be obligated to procure each policy of insurance required under the terms of the Master Lease and each such policy of liability insurance shall name Sublandlord and Landlord, and, if specific names are supplied to Subtenant, their partners, directors, officers, property managers and mortgagees as additional insureds; provided, however, Subtenant shall not be required to procure any earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage notwithstanding that Sublandlord is required to carry such coverage under the Master Lease. All policies of insurance required of Subtenant shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with or supplemental to insurance Sublandlord may carry. The covenants, obligations and indemnities of Subtenant under this Sublease shall not be affected, reduced or diminished in any way due to the availability or adequacy of insurance proceeds. Prior to taking occupancy of the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord a certificate of insurance evidencing that the insurance required to be carried by Subtenant pursuant to the terms of this Sublease is in full force and effect and the premiums therefor have been paid.

24. Approval or Consent. Wherever in this Sublease provision is made for the approval or consent of any party hereto, then, unless expressly provided otherwise, such approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Sublease, the party whose approval or consent has been requested shall notify the other party in writing of its approval or disapproval of such request within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request. If the party whose approval or consent has been requested fails to notify the other party of its approval or disapproval within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request and continues to fail to notify the other party of its approval or disapproval within ten

 

19


(10) days after receipt of a copy of the original request and a notice containing verbatim the following: “If you fail to respond to this request within ten (10) days of your receipt of this notice, your request shall automatically be deemed to have been approved in accordance with the Sublease”, then the request shall automatically be deemed to have been approved.

25. Disputes and Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.

(a) If either party brings an action against the other to enforce or interpret the terms of this Sublease or otherwise arising out of or in connection with this Sublease, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to its costs of suit and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The term “prevailing party” means that party, as plaintiff or defendant, who substantially prevails against the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a written offer of compromise made by either party is not accepted by the other party within thirty (30) days after receipt and the party not accepting such offer fails to obtain a more favorable judgment, the non-accepting party shall not be entitled to recover its costs of suit and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs (even if it is the prevailing party) and shall be obligated to pay the costs of suit and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the offering party.

(b) With respect to any legal action or litigation arising out of or in connection with this Sublease, the parties hereby expressly waive any and all rights to a trial by jury. The parties acknowledge that the waiver of the right to a trial by jury is a substantial relinquishment of a known right and it is the intent of the parties that the court be the sole arbiter of any legal action. The parties and the parties’ agents expressly waive any claims, and shall not be awarded any judgments, for consequential, special, punitive or similar-type damages.

26. Choice of Law. Irrespective of the place of execution or performance, this Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

27. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sublandlord and Subtenant each release and waive its rights of recovery against the other (on behalf of itself, its insurance carriers and all parties claiming under or through it) for any claims and demands for damage, loss or destruction (including loss of rents) insured (or self-insured by Sublandlord) or required to be insured in the property policies required under the Master Lease or this Sublease. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section, the waiver of subrogation contained herein shall apply only to any loss or damage in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per occurrence. If one party’s insurance carrier prohibits waiver of subrogation, then each party’s release and waiver shall become null and void as each waiver is given in consideration for the other.

28. Sublandlord’s Representations. In addition to any other representations of Sublandlord in this Sublease, Sublandlord represents and warrants with respect to the Sublease Premises that: (i) the Master Lease is in full force and effect and to Sublandlord’s knowledge

 

20


there exists under the Master Lease no default or event of default by either Master Landlord or Sublandlord, nor, to Sublandlord’s knowledge, has there occurred any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, could constitute such a default or event of default; (ii) to Sublandlord’s knowledge, there are no pending or threatened actions, suits or proceedings before any court or administrative agency against Sublandlord or against Master Landlord or third parties which could, in the aggregate, adversely affect the Sublease Premises or any part thereof or the ability of Sublandlord or Master Landlord to perform their respective obligations under the Master Lease and Sublease; (iii) Exhibit A to this Sublease is a full and complete copy of the Master Lease in redacted form; (iv) to Sublandlord’s knowledge, (a) no Hazardous Materials are present in, on or under the Master Premises or the soil, surface water or groundwater thereof in violation of any applicable Environmental Requirements and (b) no action, proceeding or claim is pending or threatened regarding the Master Premises concerning any Hazardous Materials or pursuant to any Environmental Requirements; and (v) the person or persons executing this Sublease for Sublandlord are fully authorized to so act and no other action is required to bind Sublandlord to this Sublease.

28. Subtenant’s Representations. In addition to any other representations of Subtenant in this Sublease, Subtenant represents and warrants with respect to the Sublease Premises that the person or persons executing this Sublease for Subtenant are fully authorized to so act and no other action is required to bind Subtenant to this Sublease.

LEASE AGREEMENT

This LEASE AGREEMENT (“Lease”), dated for reference purposes only as of the date set forth in Fundamental Lease Provision (w), is made and entered into by and between Francisco Bay Office Park, a California limited partnership (“Landlord”), and GPS Management Services, Inc., a California corporation (“Tenant”), who agree as follows:

GENERAL CONDITIONS

Landlord and Tenant agree that the following are general conditions which govern all of the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant and supersede, to the extent appropriate with respect to any inconsistencies, any contrary provision in the Lease.

A. Consent/Duty to Act Reasonably. Any time the consent of Landlord or Tenant is required under this Lease, subject to any specific conditions or considerations set forth in this Lease, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and whenever this Lease grants Landlord or Tenant the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish rules and regulations or make allocations or other determinations (except in the case of decisions to exercise expansion, contraction, cancellation, termination or renewal options, and except in the case of any provisions where a standard of “sole” and/or “absolute” discretion is expressly set forth herein), Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith and take no action which might result in the frustration of the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated tenant or landlord concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease.

B. Standard for Operation, Maintenance and Repair. Landlord shall, subject to Tenant’s repair obligations set forth in the Lease, maintain and operate the Building and Premises in a first-class manner consistent with the age of the Building, maintain the Building in compliance with all ordinances, regulations, codes and laws (“Applicable Laws”) including within such definition (but not limited to) laws applicable to access and people with disabilities (collectively, “ADA”), Hazardous Materials, as defined in Section 30.11.1 and laws applicable to seismic safety. Landlord shall operate, maintain, and provide services and security to the Building in a first-class manner comparable to the manner in which sophisticated, experienced landlords such as William Wilson, La Salle Partners, Hines Interests, etc. (“Comparable Landlords”) of other first-class office buildings in San Mateo County (“Comparable Buildings”), the cost of which (except for capital improvements and repairs, as more specifically hereinafter set forth in Section 4.4) shall be included in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted pursuant to Article 4. Landlord agrees that at all times it will maintain the structural portions of the Building and Premises, including the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, roof, curtain wall, exterior glass and mullions, columns, beams, shafts (including elevator shafts), stairs, parking areas, stairwells (except for interior stairwells constructed as Tenant Improvements), escalators, elevator cabs, plazas, pavement, sidewalks, curbs, entrances, landscaping, art work and sculptures (unless owned by Tenant), washrooms, mechanical, electrical and telephone closets, and all common and public areas (collectively, “Building Structure”) and the mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler systems (connected to the core) and HVAC systems (including primary and secondary loops connected to the core) (collectively, “Building Systems”) in first-class condition consistent with the age of the Building and shall also keep in good repair and operating order the Building Systems and Building Structure and shall operate

 

1


the Building as a first-class office building. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to make any repair to, modification of, or addition to the Building Structure and/or the Building Systems and/or the Premises or Site except and to the extent required because of Tenant’s use of the Premises for other than normal and customary business office operations.

C. Covenants and Agreements. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist in any instance on the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the Lease, or the exercise of any election contained in the Lease, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such, covenant or agreement, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect.

D. Non-Disturbance, Attornment and Subordination Agreement. Landlord agrees that, concurrently with the date of full execution of the Lease, it will provide, without cost to or charge of, Tenant with non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreements (“non- disturbance agreements”) in favor of Tenant from any ground lessors, mortgage holders or lien holders (each, a “Superior Mortgagee”) then in existence, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached to the Lease and made a part hereof. Said non-disturbance agreements shall be in recordable form and may be recorded at Tenant’s election and expense.

Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with non-disturbance agreement(s) substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached to this Lease, in favor of Tenant from any Superior Mortgagee(s) of Landlord who later come(s) into existence at any time prior to the expiration of the Term of the Lease, as it may be extended, in consideration of, and as a condition precedent to, Tenant’s agreement to be bound by Lease Section 17.1. Said non-disturbance agreements shall be in recordable form and may be recorded at Tenant’s election and expense.

All non-disturbance agreements shall acknowledge that, and Landlord hereby independently agrees that, to the extent Landlord has failed to fulfill its obligations with respect to the payment of any unpaid final arbitration or award pursuant to a final court judgment under this Lease (“Key Obligation”), Tenant may deduct the amount of the Key Obligation which Landlord has not paid, from the Rent next coming due and payable, from time to time, under the Lease.

Landlord further agrees that, upon Tenant’s request, Landlord will provide Tenant with a copy of the most current title report for the Site, to the extent Landlord has previously obtained and has such title report in its possession, within ten (10) business days following such request by Tenant.

E. Notices. All references to “notice” shall mean written notice given in compliance with this General Condition E. All notices, requests, consents, approvals, payments in connection with the Lease, or communications that either party desires or is required or permitted to give or make to the other party under the Lease shall only be deemed to have been given, made and delivered, when made or given in writing and personally served, or three (3) days after deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or two (2) days after sent by reputable overnight courier (e.g. Federal Express) and addressed to the parties as follows: If to Tenant, at the address(es) as specified for Tenant in Fundamental Lease Provision (s), or to

 

2


such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to Landlord given in the manner set forth in this General Condition E; if to Landlord, at the address(es) specified for Landlord in Fundamental Lease Provision (t) or to such other places as Landlord may from time to time designate in a notice to Tenant given in the manner set forth in this General Condition E.

F. Abatement of Rent. Provided Landlord can obtain, at commercially reasonable rates, rental interruption insurance for any of the circumstances set forth herein and provided further that Tenant recognizes and agrees that Landlord does not carry rental interruption insurance applying to certain utilities interruptions, then in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof, for five (5) consecutive business days or fifteen (15) business days in any twelve (12) month period (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of (i) any damage or destruction to the Premises and/or the Building, (ii) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord after the Commencement Date, which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises and/or the Building, (iii) any failure by Landlord to provide Tenant with access to the Premises and/or the Building, (iv) an eminent domain proceeding or (v) the presence of hazardous substances in, on or around the Premises, the Building or the Site which pose a health risk to occupants of the Premises, and which were not placed on the Site, Building or Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties (as that term is defined in Section 30.11.6 hereof), then Tenant’s Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, for such time that Tenant is so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. However, in the event that Tenant is prevented from conducting, and does not conduct, its business in any portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period, and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for the time which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Rent for the entire Premises shall be abated; provided, however, if Tenant reoccupies and conducts its business from any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date such business operations commence. If Tenant’s right to abatement occurs because of an eminent domain taking and/or because of damage or destruction to the Premises, the Building and/or Tenant’s property, Tenant’s abatement period shall continue until Tenant has been given sufficient time, and sufficient access to the Premises and/or the Building, to rebuild such portion it is required to rebuild, but in no event for more than sixty (60) days after the date Landlord first provides Tenant with access to any portion of the Premises to perform such work. To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the Eligibility Period, because of an event covered by Articles 13 (Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Eminent Domain) of the Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable. To the extent Tenant has prepaid rent (as it does each month since Rent is due on the first day of each month) and Tenant is subsequently entitled to an abatement, such prepaid, and subsequently abated, Rent should be refunded to, and paid by Landlord to, Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the appropriate month.

G. Arbitration. The provisions of this General Condition G contain the sole and exclusive method, means and procedure to resolve any and all disputes or disagreements,

 

3


including whether any particular matter constitutes, or with the passage of time would constitute, an event of default (“Event of Default”). The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall at all times conduct themselves in strict, full, complete and timely accordance with the provisions of this General Condition G. Any and all attempts to circumvent the provisions of this General Condition G shall be absolutely null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. With respect to the payment of money, such passage of time shall commence to run from the date such payment was due under the Lease unless the party which is obligated to make the payment does in fact make the payment to the other party. Such payment can be made “under protest,” which shall occur when such payment is accompanied by a good-faith notice stating why the party has elected to make a payment under protest. Such protest will be deemed waived unless the subject matter identified in the protest is submitted to arbitration as set forth in the following:

(a) Arbitration Panel. Within ninety (90) days after delivery of written notice (“Notice of Dispute”) of the existence and nature of any dispute given by any party to the other party, and unless otherwise provided herein in any specific instance, Landlord and Tenant shall each: (i) appoint one (1) lawyer actively engaged in the licensed and full-time practice of law, specializing in real estate, in the County of San Mateo and/or San Francisco for a continuous period immediately preceding the date of delivery (“Dispute Date”) of the Notice of Dispute of not less than ten (10) years, but who has at no time ever represented or acted on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, and (ii) deliver written notice of the identity of such lawyer and a copy of his or her written acceptance of such appointment and acknowledgment of and agreement to be bound by the time constraints and other provisions of this General Condition G (“Acceptance”) to the other parties hereto. The party who selects the lawyer may not consult with such lawyer, directly or indirectly, to determine the lawyer’s position on the issue which is the subject of the dispute. In the event that any party fails to so act, such arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the same procedure that is followed when agreement cannot be reached as to the third arbitrator. Within ten (10) business days after such appointment and notice, such lawyers shall appoint a third lawyer (together with the first two (2) lawyers, “Arbitration Panel”) of the same qualifications and background and shall deliver written notice of the identity of such lawyer and a copy of his or her written Acceptance of such appointment to each of the parties. In the event that agreement cannot be reached on the appointment of a third lawyer within such period, such appointment and notification shall be made as quickly as possible by any court of competent jurisdiction, by any licensing authority, agency or organization having jurisdiction over such lawyers, by any professional association of lawyers in existence for not less than ten (10) years at the time of such dispute or disagreement and the geographical membership boundaries of which extend to the County of San Mateo and/or San Francisco or by any arbitration association or organization in existence for not less than ten (10) years at the time of such dispute or disagreement and the geographical boundaries of which extend to the County of San Mateo and/or San Francisco, as determined by the party giving such Notice of Dispute and simultaneously confirmed in writing delivered by such party to the other party. Any such court, authority, agency, association or organization shall be entitled either to directly select such third lawyer or to designate in writing, delivered to each of the parties, an individual who shall do so. In the event of any subsequent vacancies or inabilities to perform among the Arbitration Panel, the lawyer or lawyers involved shall be replaced in accordance with the provisions of this General Condition G as if such replacement was an initial appointment to be made under this General Condition G within the time constraints set forth in this General Condition G, measured

 

4


from the date of notice of such vacancy or inability, to the person or persons required to make such appointment, with all the attendant consequences of failure to act timely if such appointed person is a party hereto.

(b) Duty. Consistent with the provisions of this General Condition G, the members of the Arbitration Panel shall utilize their utmost skill and shall apply themselves diligently so as to hear and decide, by majority vote, the outcome and resolution of any dispute or disagreement submitted to the Arbitration Panel as promptly as possible, but in any event on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the appointment of the members of the Arbitration Panel. None of the members of the Arbitration Panel shall have any liability whatsoever for any acts or omissions performed or omitted in good faith pursuant to the provisions of this General Condition G.

(c) Authority. The Arbitration Panel shall (i) enforce and interpret the rights and obligations set forth in the Lease to the extent not prohibited by law, (ii) fix and establish any and all rules as it shall consider appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to govern the proceedings before it, including any and all rules of discovery, procedure and/or evidence, and (iii) make and issue any and all orders, final or otherwise, and any and all awards, as a court of competent jurisdiction sitting at law or in equity could make and issue, and as it shall consider appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, including the awarding of monetary damages (but shall not award consequential damages to either party and shall not award punitive damages except in situations involving fraud), the awarding of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party as determined by the Arbitration Panel and the issuance of injunctive relief.

(d) Appeal. The decision of the Arbitration Panel shall be final and binding, may be confirmed and entered by any court of competent jurisdiction at the request of any party and may not be appealed to any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise except upon a claim of fraud on the part of the Arbitration Panel, or on the basis of a mistake as to the applicable law. The Arbitration Panel shall retain jurisdiction over any dispute until its award has been implemented, and judgment on any such award may be entered in any court having appropriate jurisdiction.

(e) Compensation. Each member of the Arbitration Panel (i) shall be compensated for any and all services rendered under this General Condition G at a rate of compensation equal to the sum of (a) Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per hour and (b) the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per hour multiplied by the number of full years of the expired Term under the Lease, plus reimbursement for any and all expenses incurred in connection with the rendering of such services, payable in full promptly upon conclusion of the proceedings before the Arbitration Panel. Such compensation and reimbursement shall be borne by the nonprevailing party or by both parties as determined by the Arbitration Panel in its sole and absolute discretion.

H. Access to Building and Parking. Tenant shall be granted access to the Building, the Site, the Premises, the Parking Facility, and the Services and Utilities provided to the Building twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, every day of the year, provided Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, any actual costs or expenses attributable to, associated with, or arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises (including the

 

5


consumption or use of Services and Utilities) outside of normal Business Hours of Monday - Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I. Right to Repair. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant provides written notice (or oral notice in the event of an emergency such as damage or destruction to or of any portion of the Building Structure and/or the Building Systems and/or anything that could cause material disruption to Tenant’s business) to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance, and Landlord fails to provide such action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, then Tenant may further notify Landlord of its intent to conduct repairs. If Landlord does not thereafter commence such repair actions within seven (7) business days then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional three (3) business days’ notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action (provided, however, that neither of the notices shall be required in the event of an emergency which could threaten safety or where there is imminent danger to property or a possibility that a failure to take immediate action could cause a material disruption in Tenant’s normal and customary business activities), and if such action was required under the terms of the Lease to be taken by Landlord and was not taken by Landlord within such time frames described above (unless such notice was not required as provided above), then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses under the circumstances in taking such action plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate as defined in General Condition O below from the date of Tenant’s payment of such third party costs until the date reimbursed by Landlord plus Rent Abatement to the extent Tenant would have otherwise been entitled to Rent Abatement pursuant to General Condition F. For purposes of this provision, Landlord shall be deemed to have commenced repairs when it has filed applications (if required) for such work with the appropriate governmental authorities. Landlord agrees that Tenant will have access to the Building, Building Systems, Building Structure, Premises and Site to the extent necessary to perform the work contemplated by this provision. In the event Tenant takes such action, and such work will affect the Building Structure and/or the Building Systems, Tenant shall use only those contractors used or approved by Landlord in the Building for work on such Building Structure or Building Systems, unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to promptly perform such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor (with Landlord’s written consent) which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of written request therefor from Tenant, with all supporting invoices for its Costs of taking action which Tenant claims should have been taken by Landlord, and if such invoice from Tenant sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking such action on behalf of Landlord, reimburse Tenant for such costs in such invoice. If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord and, if elected by either Landlord or Tenant, the matter shall proceed to resolution by arbitration pursuant to the procedures set forth in General Condition G. If Tenant prevails in arbitration, the amount of the award which shall include interest at the Interest Rate (from the time of each expenditure by Tenant until the date Tenant receives such amount by payment or offset and attorneys’ fees and related costs) shall be

 

6


reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) business days after the award becomes final. If such payment is not received by Tenant from Landlord, Tenant may deduct such amounts, together with interest at the Interest Rate, from the Rents next due and owing under the Lease. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code §§ 1932(1), 1941 and 1942.

J. Right to Terminate.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in either Articles 13 (Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Eminent Domain) to the contrary, and except as expressly set forth in Subsection (b) below, in the event that Tenant is notified or becomes aware of the fact that as a result of any of the following (each of which shall be referred to as a “Trigger Event”):

(i) damage or destruction of the Premises, the Parking Facility and/or the Building or any part thereof so as to interfere substantially and materially with Tenant’s use of all or a substantial portion of the Premises, the Parking Facility (provided Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with reasonably convenient and adequate replacement parking) and/or the Building;

(ii) a taking by eminent domain or exercise of other governmental authority of the Premises, the Parking Facility and/or the Building or any part thereof so as to. interfere substantially and materially with Tenant’s use of all or a substantial portion of the Premises, the Parking Facility (provided Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with reasonably convenient and adequate replacement parking) and/or the Building;

(iii) the inability of Landlord to provide services to the Premises, the Parking Facility (provided Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with reasonably convenient and adequate replacement parking) and/or the Building so as to interfere substantially and materially with Tenant’s use of all or a substantial portion of the Premises, the Parking Facility and/or the Building; or

(iv) any discovery of hazardous substances in, on or around the Premises, the Building and/or the Site not placed in, on or around the Premises, the Building and/or the Site by Tenant, its representatives, agents, contractors, visitors, licensees or invitees that, considering the nature and amount of the substances involved, presents a health risk to any occupants of the Premises or the release of such substances materially and substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of all or a substantial portion of the Premises; or

(v) the discovery of any other hazardous conditions with respect to the Premises, the Parking Facility (provided Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with reasonably convenient and adequate replacement parking) and/or the Building which would make it dangerous or unsafe for Tenant and its employees to conduct their normal and customary business operations from the Premises.

If Tenant cannot, within twelve (12) months (“Non-Use Period”) of the occurrence of the Trigger Event, be given reasonable use of, and access to, a substantially repaired and restored Premises, Parking Facility (provided Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with reasonably convenient and adequate replacement parking) and Building (except for minor “punch-list” items which will be repaired promptly thereafter), and the utilities and services pertaining to the

 

7


Premises, the Parking Facility and the Building, such that the same are suitable for the usual conduct of Tenant’s business therefrom and Tenant does not, in fact, use the Premises during that period, then Tenant may thereafter elect at any time to exercise an on-going right to terminate the Lease upon thirty (30) business days’ written notice sent to Landlord.

(b) In the event of any Trigger Event occurring during the last year of the Lease Term or, if an applicable renewal option has been exercised, during the last year of any renewal term, should the Non-Use Period continue for ninety (90) days, Tenant may elect to exercise an on-going right to terminate the Lease upon fifteen (15) business days’ written notice sent to Landlord.

K. Interest on Past Due Obligations. Except with respect to the late payment of Rent (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3.4), whenever one party is obligated pursuant to this Lease to make a payment to the other party, if such payment is not paid when due, then the party who does not make such payment when due shall pay interest at the Interest Rate (as such term is defined in General Condition O) to the party on the unpaid amount from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid.

L. When Payment Is Due. Whenever in this Lease a payment is required to be made by one party to the other, but a specific date for payment is not set forth or a specific number of days within which payment is to be made is not set forth, or the words “immediately”, “promptly” and/or “on demand”, or the equivalent, are used to specify when such payment is due, then such payment shall be due thirty (30) days after the party which is entitled to such payment sends written notice to the other party demanding payment.

M. Landlord Bankruptcy Proceeding. In the event that the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are not performed during the pendency of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the Landlord as the debtor, or following the rejection of this Lease in accordance with Section 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, and in addition to any and all other remedies permitted by this Lease and/or by Applicable Laws, Tenant shall have the right to set off against Rents next due and owing under this Lease (a) any and all damages caused by such non-performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease by Landlord, debtor-in-possession, or the bankruptcy trustee, and (b) any and all damages caused by the non-performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease following any rejection of this Lease in accordance with Section 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

N. Force Majeure. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, any prevention, delay or stoppage caused by fire, earthquake, explosion, flood, hurricane, the elements, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of the party from whom performance is required, or any of their contractors; acts of God or the public enemy; actions, restrictions, limitations or interference of governmental authorities or agents; war, invasion, insurrection, rebellion; riots; strikes or lockouts, or inability to obtain necessary materials, goods, equipment, services, utilities or labor shall excuse the performance of such party for a period up to the duration of such prevention, provided, however, in no event shall financial incapability excuse the performance of either party; and further provided that the party from whom

 

8


performance is required uses its best efforts under the circumstances to perform as soon as possible after the prevention, delay or stoppage passes.

O. Interest Rate. The “Interest Rate” is defined as the lesser of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time, by the largest (as measured by deposits) state chartered bank operating in California, as its Prime Rate or its Reference Rate or other similar benchmark, plus two percent (2%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law.

P. Right to Performance. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Landlord or Tenant under the Lease shall be performed by such party at such party’s sole cost and expense, except where such expenditure constitutes an Operating Expense under the Lease or unless a specific provision of this Lease provides to the contrary.

Q. Survival of Provisions Upon Termination of Lease. This Lease shall survive the expiration of the Term to the extent necessary that any term, covenant or condition of this Lease which requires the performance of obligations or forbearance of an act by either party hereto after the termination of this Lease. Such survival shall be to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill the intent thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a specific term, covenant or condition is expressly provided for in such a clear fashion as to indicate that such performance of an obligation or forbearance of an act is no longer required, then the specific shall govern over this General Provision.

SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Landlord and Tenant specifically agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 - PREMISES

1.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises described in Fundamental Lease Provision (d), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.

1.2 Rentable Area. Landlord and Tenant stipulate that the Building and the Premises consist of the rentable area set forth in Fundamental Lease Provision (e) and Fundamental Lease Provision (f), respectively.

ARTICLE 2 - TERM

2.1 Effective Date. The Lease is effective as of July 1, 1997. The Existing Lease (as defined in Exhibit B) is terminated concurrently with such effective date, as set forth in Exhibit B.

2.2 Term of Lease. The term of the Lease (“Term”) shall be for the term set forth in provision (i) of the Fundamental Lease Provisions beginning on the Commencement Date, as such term is defined below, and, unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided in this Lease, ending on the Expiration Date specified in provision (k) of the Fundamental Lease Provisions or, when appropriate, at the end of the extension period to the extent the right to extend is exercised pursuant to Section 2.4 below.

 

9


2.3 Commencement Date. The Term of this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent, as such term is defined below, commences retroactive to the Commencement Date as specified in provision (j) of the Fundamental Lease Provisions.

2.4 Options to Extend.

1. Options. Provided that an Event of Default by Tenant under Section 15.1 is not then in existence under the Lease, either at the time of the exercise of the options set forth herein or at the time of the commencement of the extension periods hereunder, Tenant may elect to extend the Term of this Lease (“Extension Option”) for all or portion of the Premises, provided such portion is one or more full floors, and if at least one (1) full floor is being renewed, then Tenant may also renew as to not less than one- half ( 1/2) of a floor on one partial floor, with Tenant in such case to pay all costs involved in reconfiguring and demising a single-tenant floor into a multi-tenant floor. Tenant may extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of three (3) years (the “Extension Period”), by delivering to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) months nor more than eighteen (18) months before the end of the initial Term of this Lease, a written notice (the “Option Notice”) of such election. The Extension Period shall commence on the day immediately following the last day of the Term and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease except that the rental rate for the renewal term shall be the then current base rental rate increased by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area (all urban wage earners) (“CPI”) from the immediately precluding three (3) years plus five percent (5%); provided, however, in no instance shall the increase exceed nine percent (9%).

2. Options Personal. The Extension Options set forth herein are not personal to Tenant and may be exercised by any assignee or subtenant of the Lease permitted under the terms of the Lease, subject to the provisions of Section 11 hereof.

ARTICLE 3 - RENT

3.1 Payment of Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises, Annual Base Rent in the amount specified in Fundamental Lease Provision (m), subject to Exhibit B and Exhibit G. Such Annual Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance beginning on the Rent Commencement Date as set forth in Fundamental Lease Provision (1) and on or before the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the entire Term. In addition to the payment of Base Rent, but subject to Exhibit B and Exhibit G, Tenant shall also pay all Operating Expense Adjustments computed pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Lease.

3.2 Personal Property Taxes. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all personal property taxes, charges, rates, duties and license fees (collectively, “Personal Property Taxes”) assessed against or levied specifically upon Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or other personal property contained in the Premises (collectively “Personal Property”). Tenant shall cause such Personal Property Taxes upon the Personal Property to be billed separately from the property of Landlord. Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord and all “Landlord Parties” as that term is defined in Section 30.11.5 hereof harmless from and against all costs, demands, liabilities, damages or losses (including reasonable

 

10


attorneys fees) arising from or associated with Tenant’s obligation to pay all such Personal Property Taxes.

3.3 Definition of Rent. Any and all payments of Base Rent and any and all taxes, fees, charges, costs, expenses, parking charges, insurance obligations, late charges, Personal Property Taxes, Operating Expense Adjustments, and all other payments, disbursements or reimbursements which are payable by or the responsibility of Tenant under the Lease shall be collectively defined as “Rent”. Any Rent payable to Landlord by Tenant for any fractional month shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in the applicable month. All payments owed by Tenant under the Lease to Landlord shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America at the location specified by Landlord pursuant to General Condition E. All payments shall be paid without deduction, set-off or counterclaim except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Lease.

3.4 Late Charge. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the late payment by Tenant of Rent due to Landlord or the late payment by Landlord of amounts owed to Tenant under this Lease will cause the party who was entitled to receive such payment (“Payee”) to incur damages, including administrative costs, loss of use of the overdue funds and other costs, the exact amount of which would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix. Landlord and Tenant agree that if the Payee does not receive a payment within five (5) business days following the delivery by Payee of notice to the other party (“Payor”) that such payment is overdue, the overdue amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (as such term is defined in General Condition O), from the date payment of such amount was due until Payee receives the overdue payment. Payment of the late charge is not an alternative means of performance of Payor’s obligation at the times specified in this Lease. Payor will be liable for the late charge regardless of whether Payor’s failure to pay when due constitutes a default under the Lease.

ARTICLE 4 - ADJUSTMENTS TO RENT

4.1 Operating Expense Adjustments. Commencing with the first (1st) day after the Base Year described in Fundamental Lease Provision (n), Tenant shall pay, in addition to the Base Rent computed and due pursuant to Section 3.1, an additional sum as an operating expense adjustment (“Operating Expense Adjustment”) equal to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (as defined in Section 4.3) of any excess Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 4.3) over the Allowance as defined in Section 4.3 hereof. Base Rent and the sums paid pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 are sometimes collectively referred to as “Gross Rent;” provided, however, from July 1, 1997 until June 30, 2000, Tenant shall pay Landlord Operating Expense Adjustments pursuant to Exhibit B. Tenant shall not be responsible for the Operating Expenses occurring from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001 since this period is the Base Year.

4.2 Procedure for Payment of Operating Expense Adjustments. Tenant shall pay for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any excess Operating Expenses over the Allowance as follows:

1. Landlord may, from time to time by providing at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to Tenant, reasonably estimate in advance the amounts Tenant shall owe on a monthly basis for Operating Expenses over the Allowance for any full or partial calendar year of the Term. Such estimate shall not exceed 1/12th of 110%

 

11


of the previous year’s Actual Operating Expenses unless evidenced by increases in existing rates or fees with evidence of such increases provided to Tenant (“specifically justified”). In such event, Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts, on a monthly basis, on or before the first day of each calendar month, together with Tenant’s payment of Base Rent. Estimates may be reasonably adjusted from time to time (but not more than twice in any twelve (12) month period) by Landlord by written notice to Tenant.

2. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year after the Base Year, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall provide a statement itemized on a line item by line item basis (the “Statement”) to Tenant showing: (i) the amount of actual Operating Expenses for such calendar year and for the preceding calendar year, (ii) any amount paid on an estimated basis by Tenant toward excess Operating Expenses over the Allowance during such calendar year and (iii) any revised estimate of Tenant’s obligations for excess Operating Expenses over the Allowance for the current calendar year, not to exceed 110% of the Actual Operating Expenses for the prior year unless specifically justified.

3. If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments were less than Tenant’s actual obligations for excess Operating Expenses over the Allowance for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference. If the Statement shows an increase in Tenant’s estimated payments for the current calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference between the new and former estimates, for the period from January 1 of the current calendar year through the month in which the Statement is sent. Tenant shall make such payments within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives the Statement.

4. If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments exceeded Tenant’s actual obligations for excess Operating Expenses over the Allowance, Tenant shall receive a credit of such difference against payments of Rent next due. If the Term shall have expired and no further Rent shall be due, Tenant shall receive a refund of such difference within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends the Statement.

5. Any delay by Landlord (or any successor to Landlord in the event the Building is conveyed to a new owner during the Lease Term) in billing Tenant for any Operating Expenses of more than three (3) years, from the date Landlord incurred such Operating Expenses shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to require payment of Tenant’s obligations for any such Operating Expenses.

6. If Tenant’s obligation to pay Operating Expense Adjustments commences other than on January 1, or ends other than on December 31, Tenant’s obligation to pay estimated and actual amounts toward excess Operating Expenses over the Allowance for such first or final calendar years shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such years included within the period for which Tenant is obligated to pay Operating Expense Adjustments. Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total estimated or actual (as the case may be) excess Operating Expenses over the Allowance for such calendar years by a fraction, the numerator which shall be the number of days within the period for which Tenant is obligated to pay Operating Expenses Adjustments during such

 

12


calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such year.

4.3 Certain Defined Terms. “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” means the ratio, as determined from time to time, of the rentable square feet of the Premises to the rentable square feet in the Building. As long as Tenant is leasing the entire Building, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be 100%. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as of the Commencement Date is stipulated to be the percentage set forth in provision (o) of the Fundamental Lease Provisions. “Allowance” shall be the total dollar amount of Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord (grossed up as provided below) during the Base Year for the Building, which Base Year is set forth in provision (n) of the Fundamental Lease Provisions. “Operating Expenses” are defined to be the sum of all costs, expenses, and disbursements, of every kind and nature whatsoever, and the Taxes, incurred by Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance, operation, administration and repair of all or any portion of the Property including, but not limited to, the following, but subject to the exclusions from Operating Expenses listed in Section 4.4 below:

(a) All costs for materials, Utilities, goods and services;

(b) All wages and benefits, employment taxes and costs of employees or independent contractors or employees of independent contractors, but only to the extent they are engaged in the operation, maintenance and security of the Building;

(c) All expenses for janitorial, maintenance, security and safety services;

(d) All repairs to, replacement of, and physical maintenance of the Building, including the cost of all supplies, uniforms, equipment, tools and materials;

(e) Any license, permit and inspection fees required in connection with the operation of the Building;

(f) Any auditor’s fees for accounting provided for the operation and maintenance of the Building;

(g) Any accounting, legal or other professional services fees, costs and disbursements as would normally be incurred in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building;

(h) All reasonable fees for management services provided by a management company or by Landlord or an agent of Landlord not to exceed one and one- half percent (1.5%) of office space rental income;

(i) The annual amortization (amortized over the useful life ) of costs, including financing costs, if any (or if Landlord finance’s such improvements out of Landlord’s funds without borrowing, the rate Landlord would have paid to borrow such funds, as reasonably determined by Landlord), incurred by Landlord for any capital improvements installed or paid for by Landlord and required by any involuntary imposition or application of any new (or change in) laws, rules or regulations of any

If the Building does not have at least one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area of the Building occupied during any calendar year period (including any calendar year(s) falling within the Base Year), then the variable portion of Operating Expenses for such period shall be deemed to be equal to the total of the variable portion of Operating Expenses which would have been incurred by Landlord if one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area of the Building had been occupied for the entirety of such calendar year with all tenants paying full rent, as contrasted with free rent, half rent or the like (“Gross-Up Provision”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not recover as Operating Expenses more than 100% of the Operating Expenses actually paid by Landlord. The annual amortization of costs shall be determined by dividing the original cost of such capital expenditure by the number of years of useful life of the capital item acquired. Operating Expenses shall be computed according to the cash or accrual basis of accounting, as Landlord may elect in accordance with standard and reasonable accounting principles employed by Landlord.

If Landlord receives a refund or credit of Operating Expenses subsequent to the year in which such expense was paid and charged to Operating Expenses, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such refund or credit to the extent Tenant directly or indirectly was charged for such Operating Expenses during a prior year.

4.5 Audit Right. In the event that Tenant disputes the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses set forth in any annual statement delivered by Landlord, then subject to the terms and conditions of the last sentence of this Section 4.5, Tenant shall have the right to provide Notice to Landlord that it intends to inspect and copy, or cause Tenant or its representatives to inspect and copy Landlord’s accounting records for the expense year covered by such statement during normal business hours (“Tenant Review”), provided, however, that in the event that Tenant shall employ or retain a third party to inspect Landlord’s accounting records (a “Third Party Auditor”), then as a condition precedent to any such inspection, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant’s written agreement with such Third Party Auditor, which agreement shall include provisions which stated that (i) such Third Party Auditor will not use the results of the audit to solicit any other tenant of the Project with respect to an audit or other review of Landlord’s accounting records at the Project but nothing herein shall prevent the Third Party Auditor from representing another tenant of the Project, and (ii) such Third Party Auditor shall maintain in strict confidence any and all information obtained in connection with the Tenant Review and shall not disclose such information (except as required by law or pursuant to a properly issued subpoena), to any person or entity other than to the management personnel of Tenant and Tenant’s accountants and lawyers and assignees or subtenants of Tenant to the extent that the results of the audit would entitle or require the assignee or sublessee to a refund or to make an additional payment. Any Tenant Review shall take place in Landlord’s office at the Project or at such other location in San Mateo County as Landlord may reasonably designate, and Landlord will provide Tenant with reasonable accommodations for such Tenant Review and reasonable use of such available office equipment, but may charge Tenant for telephone calls and photocopies at Landlord’s actual cost. Tenant shall provide Landlord with not less than two (2) weeks’ prior written notice of its desire to conduct such Tenant Review. In connection with the foregoing review, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation relating to the subject statement as Tenant may reasonably request, including any previous audit conducted by Landlord with respect to the expense year in question. In no event shall Tenant have the right to conduct such Tenant Review if Tenant is then in “Default,” as that term is defined in Article 15 under the Lease with respect to Tenant’s monetary obligations, including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of all Additional Rent amounts described in the statement which is the subject of Tenant’s Review, which payment, at Tenant’s election, may be made under dispute. In the event that following Tenant’s Review, Tenant and Landlord continue to dispute the amounts of Additional Rent shown on Landlord’s statement and Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve such dispute, then either Landlord or Tenant may submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to General Condition G of this Lease and the proper amount of the disputed items and/or categories of Operating Expenses to be shown on such statement shall be determined by such proceeding producing an “Arbitration Award” as that term is defined in General Condition G of this Lease. The Arbitration Award shall be conclusive and binding upon both Landlord and Tenant. If the resolution of the parties’ dispute with regard to the Additional Rent shown on the statement, pursuant to the Arbitration Award reveals an error in the calculation of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses to be paid for such expense year, the parties’ sole remedy shall be for the parties to make appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other as are determined to be owing. Any such payments shall be made within thirty (30) days following the resolution of such dispute. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with Tenant’s Review, and Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable audit fees, attorney’s fees and related costs of

 

20


Tenant relating to an Arbitration Award (collectively, the “Costs”), provided that if the parties’ final resolution of the dispute involves the overstatement by Landlord of Operating Expenses for such expense year in .excess of four and one-half percent (4 1/2%), then Landlord shall be responsible for all Costs not to exceed the actual amount of Operating Expenses and/or Property Taxes to be paid or reimbursed to Tenant as a result of such overpayment. An overcharge of Operating Expenses and/or Property Taxes by Landlord shall not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease. Subject to the terms of General Condition Q above, this provision shall survive the termination of this Lease to allow the parties to enforce their respective rights hereunder.

In the event that, within three (3) years following receipt of any particular statement, Tenant or Landlord shall fail to fully and finally settle any dispute with respect to such statement and if neither Tenant nor Landlord submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with the terms of General Condition G above, then Tenant shall have no further right to conduct a Tenant Review or to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the applicable statement, as applicable.

4.6 Management Fee. Commencing July 1, 2000, included in the Operating Expenses during the Base Year (July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001) will be a Management Fee equal to three percent (3%) of the Base Rent and Operating Expenses in the Base Year (“BYMF”). Commencing July 1, 2001, increases in the Management Fee will not be included in Operating Expenses. Instead, Operating Expenses for the Base Year will continue to include the BYMF and Tenant will pay Landlord for each twelve-month period, separate and apart from the amounts owed to Landlord for Base Rent and Operating Expenses, an amount equal to: (i) 1 1/2% of the increase in Base Rent over the Base Rent paid during the Base Year; plus (ii) 1 1/2% of the increase in Operating Expenses over the Operating Expenses incurred during the Base Year. For example, if during the Base Year the rental rate is $28 per RSF per annum and the RSF of the Building is 97,584, the Gross Rent inclusive of the Base Year Operating Expenses would be $2,732,352. If during the Base Year the Management Fee is $81,970.56, such amount will already be included in the Base Year and included in the Gross Rent. If the Base Year Operating Expenses were $585,504 (inclusive of the Management Fee) (“Base Amount”) Tenant would still. pay Landlord Gross Rent, inclusive of Operating Expenses and the Management Fee, in the amount of $2,732,352 because during the Base Year, the Gross Rent includes all Operating Expenses. If in the year subsequent to the Base Year, Operating Expenses increased from $585,504 per annum to $685,504 but the Base Rent remained at $28 per RSF per year, Tenant would pay Landlord $2,732,352 as the Base Rent (inclusive of the original Management Fee included in the Base Year of $81,970.56) plus $100,000 for increases in Operating Expenses above the Base Year Amount, plus an amount equal to 1 1/2% of $100,000 (which equals $1,500) for the increase in the Operating Expenses. If during the fourth year of the Lease following the Base Year, the Operating Expenses increase by $200,000 over the Base Year Amount and the Base Rent increased to $30.52 per RSF per annum (from $2,732,352 to $2,978,263.60) which is $245,911.60 per annum, then Tenant would pay Landlord an amount equal to the new Base Rent of $2,978,263.60 plus $200,000 for the increase in Operating Expenses plus a Management Fee of 1 1/2% of the increase in Operating Expenses of $200,000 (which equals $3,000) and 1 1/2% of the increase in Base Rent of $245,911.60 (which equals $3,688.67) so that the total paid to Landlord during the Fourth Lease Year following the Base Year is $2,978,263.60 for Base Rent, $200,000 for increases in Operating Expenses and $6,688.67 as a separate management fee for a total of $3,184,952.20).

4.7 Proposition 13 Protection. If any sale, transfer, or other change in ownership of the Building or Site (a “Triggering Event”), results in an increase of or reassessment in annual real property taxes arid assessments over those real property taxes and assessments paid for the tax year immediately preceding the tax year during which the Triggering Event occurred (a “Proposition 13 Increase”), such Proposition 13 Increase shall be passed through to Tenant only to the following extent:

During the period July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002: No portion of any such Proposition 13 Increase;

During the period July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003: Twenty-five percent (25%) of any such Proposition 13 Increase;

During the period July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004: Fifty percent (50%) of any such Proposition 13 Increase;

During the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005: Seventy-five percent (75%) of any such Proposition 13 Increase;

On and after July 1, 2005: One hundred percent (100%) of any such Proposition 13 Increase;

provided, however, that if the Triggering Event for any such Proposition 13 Increase occurs prior to or during the Base Year described in Fundamental Lease Provision (n), the full amount of any such Proposition 13 Increase shall be included in the Allowance as defined in Section 4.3 above.

All costs of any such

compliance which is necessitated by such use of the Premises by Tenant for Other Purposes shall be paid by Tenant; all other costs of any such compliance shall be paid by Landlord and, to the extent expressly permitted in this Lease, included in Operating Expenses, and Tenant shall, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, bear and pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof as provided in Article 4.

Any such notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure; and

(a) Tenant shall fail to perform any of the material terms, covenants, agreements or conditions under the Lease that Tenant is obligated to observe or perform,

 

35


other than that described in subparagraph (a) above, for a period of thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such failure in reasonable detail; provided however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default under the Lease if Tenant shall commence the cure of such default so specified within said thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion. Such thirty (30) day notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Tenant shall have, and under no circumstances shall Tenant be deemed to have waived, the rights set forth in Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Civil Code of Procedure.

15.2 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease if Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in reasonable detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it shall commence such performance within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

If Tenant rejects the Third Party Offer or fails to notify Landlord as provided above, Landlord may then sell the Building, Premises and/or the Site which is subject to the Third Party Offer pursuant to the exact terms of the Third Party Offer. If any of the material terms or conditions of the Third Party Offer are changed prior to the sale to the Offeror, Landlord shall repeat this right of first refusal procedure, setting forth all modified terms. If Tenant does not notify Landlord of its intent to purchase, the parties shall open an escrow as set forth in the Third Party Offer and proceed to close escrow as provided in the Third Party Offer, however if the sale contemplated by such Third Party Offer fails to close, the procedure described above shall be repeated as to any subsequent Third Party Offer. If the Offer was less than the Third Party Offer, and Tenant chooses to exercise its Right

NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made on                     , 199    , between                                  (“Superior Mortgagee”), whose address is                                 , Francisco Bay Office Park, a California limited partnership (“Landlord”), whose address is                                         , and GPS Management Services, Inc., a California corporation (“Tenant”), whose address is                                                                          , who agree as follows:

1. Recitals. This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts and objectives:

(a) Superior Mortgagee is, or it is anticipated that Superior Mortgagee will become, the beneficiary under a certain deed of trust (“Trust Deed”) on improved property located at                                  (“Property”), more specifically described in Schedule “    ” attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference. Superior Mortgagee shall also be deemed to include any lender who executes this Agreement and subsequently acquires title to the Building pursuant to a bankruptcy proceeding involving Landlord.

(b) On or about July 1, 1997 Landlord leased to Tenant, and Tenant leased from Landlord, a portion of the Property. A copy of the lease between Landlord and Tenant (“Lease”) is attached hereto as Schedule “    ” and made a part hereof by this reference.

(c) The parties desire, under the provisions set forth in this Agreement, to assure Tenant that in the event of the foreclosure of the Trust Deed, or in the event of a sale in lieu of such foreclosure, or in the event that Superior Mortgagee directly or indirectly becomes the new landlord of the Building because of its providing financing to Landlord, the terms of the Lease shall not be terminated, disturbed, or adversely affected, provided an Event of Default has not occurred under Section 15.1 of the Lease and subject to the cure rights set forth in Section 15.1 of the Lease (“Tenant Default”).

2. Attornment. If Landlord is in default under the Trust Deed after expiration of the applicable period that Landlord has in which to cure its default, and if a foreclosure sale takes place due to such default, or if Superior Mortgagee shall notify Tenant of such transfer of title to the Property or if Superior Mortgagee becomes the new Landlord of the Building, after receipt of such notice, upon the effective date of such transfer of title, and after Tenant has received written notice of such transfer of title, Tenant shall attorn to Superior Mortgagee and shall recognize Superior Mortgagee as Tenant’s landlord under the Lease, and Tenant agrees to execute any instruments reasonably requested to evidence such attornment. Upon attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, so long as a Tenant Default has not occurred, and Tenant and Superior Mortgagee as Landlord shall perform all of their respective obligations under the Lease directly to Superior Mortgagee, as if Superior Mortgagee were the landlord under the Lease. Tenant agrees to make any modifications related to such change of the Lease requested by

 

F-1


Superior Mortgagee hereunder, provided that such modifications do not adversely affect any right of Tenant under the Lease or increase any of Tenant’s monetary obligations under the Lease.

3. Non-Disturbance by Superior Mortgagee. If a Tenant Default is not in existence at the time of the transfer of title as provided in the above paragraph, the Lease shall continue with the same force and effect as if Superior Mortgagee and Tenant had entered into a lease with the same provisions as those contained in the Lease, and the terms of the Lease and Tenant’s leasehold estate in the Property shall not be terminated, disturbed, or adversely affected, except according to the terms of the Lease.

4. Conditions of Superior Mortgagee’s Recognition. Until a Tenant Default occurs, Superior Mortgagee or such other purchaser shall recognize the leasehold estate of Tenant under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the remaining balance of the term and any renewals thereof with the same force and effect as if Superior Mortgagee or such other purchaser were the landlord under the Lease, and Superior Mortgagee and Tenant shall immediately enter into a written agreement with the same provisions as those in the Lease, except for any technical changes that are necessary because of the substitution of Superior Mortgagee in place of Landlord; provided, however, that Superior Mortgagee, or such other purchaser, shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or any other prior lessor which occurred prior to the time the Superior Mortgagee purchased or acquired its interest under the Lease, except with respect to Tenant’s rights to deduct from rents next due under the Lease, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, as defined in the Lease, any unpaid arbitration or court award, (ii) except as provided in (i) to the contrary, obligated to cure any defaults of Landlord or any other prior lessor under the Lease which occurred prior to the time that Superior Mortgagee purchased or acquired its interest under the Lease (except to the extent that the default is not monetary and remains in existence at the time the Superior Mortgagee purchased or acquired its interest under the Lease), (iii) except as provided in (i) to the contrary, subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may be entitled to assert against Landlord or any other prior lessor; (iv) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to Landlord or any other prior lessor for more than one month in advance, (v) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease which would adversely affect any right of Landlord under the Lease made without the written consent of Superior Mortgagee or such other purchaser who has first, in writing, notified Tenant of its interest, which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, or (vi) except as provided in (i) to the contrary, liable or responsible for or with respect to the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security deposit paid to Landlord or any other prior lessor, whether or not still held by Landlord, unless and until Superior Mortgagee or such other purchaser has actually received for its own account as landlord the full amount of such security deposit, or any portion thereof (such liability and responsibility being limited to the amount received, if any).

5. Special Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the Lease, in the event that the Landlord fails to pay to Tenant any unpaid final arbitration award or court judgment, Superior Mortgagee or such other successor to the interests of Landlord and/or the Superior Mortgagee shall pay to the Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, such unpaid amounts.

 

F-2


In the event Landlord, Superior Mortgagee or such other successor to the interests of Landlord and/or Superior Mortgagee shall fail to pay to Tenant such unpaid amounts, Tenant may deduct such amounts, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate and computed as set forth above, from the rent next becoming due and payable under the Lease.

6. Covenants of Superior Mortgagee.

(a) Superior Mortgagee shall, at the request of Tenant, oppose any rejection of this Lease in the event a bankruptcy proceeding is instituted involving Landlord as the debtor.

(b) Superior Mortgagee shall serve Tenant, in the same manner and at the same time, with a copy of all notices it serves on Landlord with respect to any default by Landlord on any obligation of Landlord to Superior Mortgagee.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Effect on Trust Deed. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to change in any manner the provisions of the Trust Deed as between Superior Mortgagee and Landlord, to waive any right that Superior Mortgagee may now have or later acquire against Landlord by reason of the Trust Deed.

(b) Attorneys’ Fees. If any party commences an action against any of the other parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such action.

(c) Notice. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or communication that any party desires or is required to give to another party or any other person shall be in writing and either served personally or sent by prepaid, first-class mail. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or communication that any party desires or is required to give to the other party shall be addressed to the other party at the address set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement. Any party may change its address by notifying the other parties of the change of address. Notice shall be deemed communicated within five (5) business days from the time of mailing, if mailed as provided in this paragraph.

(d) Successors. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors.

(e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.

(f) No Modifications Unless in Writing. This Agreement contains all of the agreements and understandings between the parties regarding this Agreement relating to the leasing of the Premises and the obligations of Landlord and Tenant in connection with such Lease. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings between Landlord, Tenant and Superior Mortgagee and alone expresses the agreement of

 

F-3


the parties. This Agreement shall not be amended, changed or modified in any way unless in writing executed by Landlord, Tenant and Superior Mortgagee. Landlord, Tenant and Superior Mortgagee shall not have waived or released any of their rights hereunder unless in writing and executed by Landlord, Tenant and Superior Mortgagee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

Guarantor understands and acknowledges that the Lease may, and likely will, be amended or modified from time to time by agreement of Landlord and Tenant and that this may be done without notice to or approval of Guarantor, it being understood that Guarantor is relying solely on Tenant to protect its interests in connection with such matters. Guarantor hereby waives any suretyship rights or defenses that may be available to Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code and agrees that:

(c) Guarantor expressly waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and diligence of collecting any sums due under the Lease or the taking of any action with reference to any default under the Lease or to any liability under this Guaranty.

(d) Landlord has no duty to disclose to Guarantor any information it receives regarding the financial status of Tenant, whether or not such information indicates that the risk of Guarantor under this Guaranty has been or may be increased.

J-1


(e) Guarantor hereby subordinates all its claims for payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Guarantor if any, to Landlord’s right to receive payment from Tenant of all sums due under the Lease and waives any rights it may have to participate in any security for the Lease or to enforce any remedy which Landlord may have against Tenant or any other person or entity that may now or hereafter be liable on the Lease.

(f) The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of Tenant, and Landlord may directly enforce its rights under this Guaranty without proceeding against or joining Tenant or any other guarantor of the Lease, and without applying or enforcing any security for the Lease.

(g) In the event any payment by Tenant to Landlord is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent conveyance or similar voidable payment under any law now or hereafter in effect, and is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by Landlord, such payment by Tenant to Landlord shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or payments.

(h) Guarantor agrees to indemnify Landlord for all costs and expenses, including court costs and attorneys fees, incurred or paid by Landlord in enforcing this Guaranty and the Lease.

(k) This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with the fair meaning of the language used. No rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall apply in interpreting this Guaranty.

(l) This Guaranty may not be changed orally, and no obligation of Guarantor can be released or waived except by a writing signed by Landlord.

(m) If any term or provision of this Guaranty is ever determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall remain effective and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(n) This Guaranty and the rights and obligations of Guarantor and Landlord under this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law principles.

Period.” Sublandlord shall have the right to exclude Subtenant from the Expansion Premises at any time and for any duration during the Early Access Period if Subtenant’s activities in the Expansion Premises violate the terms of this Section.

7. No Additional Security Deposit. There is no additional security deposit required in connection with this Amendment.

8. Alterations. Landlord’s consent to Subtenant’s Alterations and improvements shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Sublease and the Master Lease, as incorporated therein; provided, however, that Sublandlord acknowledges that it conceptually approves the plans for the Expansion Premises Tenant Alterations attached hereto as Exhibit B (with the understanding that the final construction plans and specifications for such improvements remain subject to Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s approval).

Sublandlord shall notify Landlord of Sublandlord’s intent to enter into this Amendment and make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a recognition agreement within thirty (30) days of the full execution of this Amendment. Subtenant acknowledges that this Amendment will be of no force and effect in the event Landlord’s consent is required and Landlord does not consent to this Amendment; provided, however, that in such event, if Landlord does not give its consent to this Amendment for any reason whatsoever within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, then Subtenant each may as its sole and exclusive remedy elect to terminate this Amendment by written notice to Sublandlord, whereupon Sublandlord shall promptly return to Subtenant all monies paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Amendment and this Amendment shall thereupon be deemed null and void and of no effect (except for those provisions expressly stated herein to survive a termination).

10. Brokers. Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that Colliers International (“Colliers”) represents Sublandlord and NAI BT Commercial (“BT”) represents Subtenant in this transaction. Sublandlord shall pay all commissions due to Colliers pursuant to a separate agreement. Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has had no dealings with any other brokers, finders, or agents who might be entitled to a commission, fee or other compensation in connection with the negotiation or consummation of this Amendment other than Colliers and BT. Each party agrees to indemnify the other, and hold it harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by said party as a result of a breach of this representation and warranty by the other party.

11. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Amendment. This Amendment shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Sublease Premises arc located. In the event of conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Amendment and any provisions of the Sublease, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern.
