Except as provided in Section 4.4.3 and 4.6, the Statement shall be deemed to be final and binding upon both Landlord and Tenant.

 

4.4.2                    Statement of Estimated Expenses and Taxes. Landlord shall give to Tenant, for each Expense year, a statement (the “Estimate Statement”) setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimates of the Expenses (the “Estimated Expenses”) and Taxes (the “Estimated Taxes”) for such Expense Year. Upon receiving an Estimate Statement, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent coming due at least 30 days after such receipt, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the sum of Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Expenses plus Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Taxes (as such amounts are set forth in such Estimate Statement), by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable Expense Year (including the month of such payment) and the denominator of which is 12, over (b) any amount previously paid by Tenant for such Expense Year pursuant to this Section 4.4.2. Until Landlord delivers a new Estimate Statement (which Landlord may do at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the sum of Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Expenses plus Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Taxes, as such amounts are set forth in the previous Estimate Statement. Any failure of Landlord to timely deliver any Estimate Statement shall not diminish Landlord’s rights to receive payments and revise any previous Estimate Statement under this Section 4.

 

4.4.3                    Retroactive Adjustment of Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if, after Landlord’s delivery of any Statement, an increase or decrease in Taxes occurs for the applicable Expense Year (whether by reason of reassessment, error, or otherwise), Taxes for such Expense Year shall be retroactively adjusted. If, as a result of such adjustment, it is determined that Tenant has under-or overpaid Tenant’s Share of such Taxes, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment, or receive a credit in the amount of such overpayment, with or against the Rent then or next due hereunder; provided, however, that if this Lease has expired or terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment, or Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of such overpayment (less any Rent due), within 30 days after such adjustment is made.

 

4.5                     Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall pay, 10 days before delinquency, any taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes are levied against Landlord or its property (or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal property of Tenant), Landlord may pay such taxes (or such increased assessment) regardless of their (or its) validity, in which event Tenant, upon demand, shall repay to Landlord the amount so paid. If, during any period in which the Premises comprise less than 100% of the rentable square footage of the Building, the Leasehold Improvements (defined in Section 7.1) are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are

 

8



 

assessed, the Taxes levied against Landlord or the Property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed taxes levied against Tenant’s personal property for purposes of this Section 4.5. For purposes of the preceding sentence. Landlord acknowledges that the Proposed Initial Alterations (defined in Section 2.2.2 of Exhibit B) conform to Landlord’s “building standard.” Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Tenant shall pay 10 days before delinquency (or reimburse to Landlord upon demand, if the same is required by Law to be paid by Landlord); (i) any rent tax, sales tax, service tax, transfer tax, value added tax, use tax, business tax, gross income tax, gross receipts tax, or other tax, assessment, fee, levy or charge measured solely by the square footage, Rent, services, tenant allowances or similar amounts, rights or obligations described or provided in or under this Lease, and (ii)any taxes assessed upon the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of any portion of the Property.

 

4.6                     Books and Records. Within 60 days after receiving any Statement (the “Review Notice Period”), Tenant may give Landlord notice (“Review Notice”) stating that Tenant elects to review Landlord’s calculation of the Expenses and/or Taxes for the Expense Year to which such Statement applies and identifying with reasonable specificity the records of Landlord reasonably relating to such matters that Tenant desires to review. Within a reasonable time after receiving a timely Review Notice (and, at Landlord’s option, an executed confidentiality agreement as described below), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, or make available for inspection at a location reasonably designated by Landlord, copies of such records. Within 60 days after such records are made available to Tenant (the “Objection Period”), Tenant may deliver to Landlord notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating with reasonable specificity any objections to the Statement, in which event Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve Tenant’s objections. Tenant may not deliver more than one Review Notice or more than one Objection Notice with respect to any Expense Year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord a Review Notice before the expiration of the Review Notice Period or fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice before the expiration of the Objection Period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Statement. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the State of California and its fees shall not be contingent, in whole or in part, upon the outcome of the review. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of such review. The records and any related information obtained from Landlord shall be treated as confidential, and as applicable only to the Premises, by Tenant, its auditors, consultants, and any other parties reviewing the same on behalf of Tenant (collectively, “Tenant’s Auditors”). Before making any records available for review, Landlord may require Tenant and Tenant’s Auditors to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement, in which event Tenant shall cause the same to be executed and delivered to Landlord within 30 days after receiving it from Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, the Objection Period shall be reduced by one day for each day by which such execution and delivery follows the expiration of such 30-day period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Tenant may not examine Landlord’s records or dispute any Statement if any Rent remains unpaid past its due date. If, for any Expense Year, Landlord and Tenant determine that the sum of Tenant’s Share of the actual Expenses plus Tenant’s Share of the actual Taxes is less or more than the amount reported, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of its overpayment against Rent then or next due hereunder; provided, however, that if this Lease has expired or terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of its overpayment (less any Rent due), or Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of its underpayment, within 30 days after such determination.

If, in order to comply with any such Law, Tenant must obtain or deliver any permit, certificate or other document evidencing such compliance. Tenant shall provide a copy of such document of Landlord promptly after obtaining or delivering it. Except as provided in Exhibit B, if a change to any Common Area, the Building structure, or any Building system (other than a Supplemental system exclusively serving the Premises or a portion of a Base Building System located in the Premises) becomes required under Law (or if any such requirement is enforced) as a result of any Tenant-Insured Improvement, the installation of any trade fixture, or any particular use of the Premises (as distinguished from general office/R&D use), then Tenant, upon demand, shall (x) at Landlord’s

19.1.2              Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s cure herein (in which event Tenant’s failure to cure within such time period shall be a Default), and except as otherwise provided in this Section 19.1, any breach by Tenant of any other provision hereof where such breach continues for 30 days after notice from Landlord; provided that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, Tenant shall not be in Default as a result of such breach if Tenant diligently commences such cure within such period, thereafter diligently pursues such cure, and completes such cure within 60 days after Landlord’s notice; or

 

19.1.3              Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant; or

 

19.1.4              Any breach by Tenant of Sections 5, 14, 17, 18 or 25.3 where such breach continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord.

 

If (a) Tenant breaches a particular provision hereof (other than a provision requiring payment of Rent), and Landlord notifies Tenant of such breach, on three (3) separate occasions during any 12-month period; (b) such breaches harm any tenants, prospective tenants, occupants of adjacent property, or other third parties; and (c) such breaches are collectively material, then Tenant’s subsequent breach of such provision shall be, at Landlord’s option, an incurable Default. To the extent the notice periods provided herein satisfy any notice periods provided by Law, Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.

 

19.2        Remedies Upon Default. Upon any Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive) without any notice or demand.

 

19.2.1              Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof; without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor, and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

 

(a)                       The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

 

(b)                       The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(c)                        The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves

 

20



 

could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(d)                       Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including (but only to the extent reasonably attributable to the remaining Term) brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, expenses of remodeling any portion of the Premises for a new tenant (whether for the same or a different use), and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus

 

(e)                        At Landlord’s option, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Law.

 

As used in Sections 19.2.1(a) and (b), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the annual “Bank Prime Loan” rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Publication G.13(415), published on the first Tuesday of each calendar month (or such other comparable index as Landlord shall reasonably designate if such rate ceases to be published) plus two (2) percentage points, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by Law. As used in Section 19.2.1(c), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%.

 

19.2.2              Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

 

19.2.3              Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, or any Law or other provision hereof), without prior demand or notice except as required by Law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

 

19.3        Efforts to Relet. Unless Landlord provides Tenant with express notice to the contrary, no re-entry, repossession, repair, maintenance, change, alteration, addition, reletting, appointment of a receiver or other action or omission by Landlord shall (a) be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, or (b) operate to release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Tenant waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming by, through or under Tenant, California Civil Code § 3275 and California Code of Civil procedure §§ 1174(c) and 1179 and any existing or future rights to redeem or reinstate, by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, this Lease or Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination hereof.

 

19.4        Landlord Default.

 

19.4.1              Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless it breaches any provision hereof where such breach continues for 30 days after notice from Tenant; provided that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder as a result of such breach if Landlord diligently commences such cure within such period, thereafter diligently pursues such cure, and completes such cure within 90 days after Tenant’s notice.

 

19.4.2              If Landlord becomes in default hereunder (as provided in Section 19.4.1) as a result of any breach by Landlord of its obligations under Section 7.1.2.A to keep in good condition and repair the roof of the Building, the exterior walls and windows of the Building, or any system of the Building for which Landlord is responsible under Section 7.1.2.A, and if such default materially and adversely affects the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, then Tenant may thereafter provide Landlord with a notice (in addition to those required under Section 19.4.1 in order for Landlord to become in default) stating that if Landlord does not perform such obligation then Tenant will exercise its right to do so under this Section 19.4.2, and if Landlord does not commence performance of such obligation within 10 business days after such notice and thereafter diligently pursue such performance until completion, Tenant may perform such obligation. If Tenant performs any such obligation of Landlord, then (a) Tenant shall do so (i) in a first-class manner using materials of the same (or better) quality as those being repaired or replaced, (ii) using, where commercially reasonable, Landlord’s approved contractors, (iii) in compliance with all Laws, and (iv) in a manner that does not impair the Base Building; (b) if, as a result of such work, Landlord becomes required under Law to perform any inspection, give any notice, or cause such Tenant Work to be performed in any particular manner, Tenant shall comply with such requirement and promptly provide Landlord with reasonable documentation of such compliance; (c) Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any governmental permits required to perform the work; and (d) to the extent Landlord is responsible hereunder for the maintenance or repair of any

 

21



 

item repaired or installed by Tenant. Tenant shall promptly make available to Landlord the benefit of any warranties received in connection therewith, If Tenant performs any such obligation of Landlord in accordance with this Section 19.4.2, then (x) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, within 10 business days after receiving demand therefor and reasonable documentation thereof, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in so performing such obligation; and (y) if Landlord fails to provide such reimbursement within such 10-business-day period. Tenant, after 30 days’ notice to Landlord, may withhold the amount Landlord failed to reimburse as required hereunder from the next due installment(s) of Rent until Tenant is fully reimbursed.

 

19.4.3              Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, before exercising any remedies for a default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice and a reasonable time to cure to any Security Holder of which Tenant has been notified.

 

20                          LANDLORD EXCULPATION. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (a) the liability of the Landlord Parties to Tenant shall be limited to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the value of Landlord’s interest in the Building, or (ii) the value of the equity interest Landlord would have in the Building if the Building were encumbered by third-party debt in an amount equal to 80% of the value of the Building (as such value is determined by Landlord); (b) Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building for the recovery of any judgment of award against any Landlord Party; (c) no Landlord Party shall have any personal liability for any judgment or deficiency, and Tenant waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all parties claiming by, through or under Tenant; and (d) no Landlord Parry shall be liable for any injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, or for any form of special or consequential damage. For purposes of this Section 20. “Landlord’s interest in the Building” shall include rents paid by tenants, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds, and proceeds from the sale of the Building (collectively, “Owner Proceeds”); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to recover Owner Proceeds from any Landlord Party (other than Landlord) or any other third party after they have been distributed or paid to such party; provided further, however, that nothing in this sentence shall diminish any right Tenant may have under Law, as a creditor of Landlord, to initiate or participate in an action to recover Owner Proceeds from a third party on the grounds that such third party obtained such Owner Proceeds when Landlord was, or could reasonably be expected to become, insolvent or in a transfer that was preferential or fraudulent as to Landlord’s creditors.

Tenant shall not use more than the number of unreserved and/or reserved parking spaces set forth in Section 1.9. Tenant shall not be required to pay any additional rental for such use of such parking spaces. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, not shall this Lease be affected, if any parking is impaired by (or any parking charges are imposed as a result of) any Law. Tenant shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Facility, including any reasonable sticker or other identification system and the prohibition of vehicle repair and maintenance activities in the Parking Facility. Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, allocate and assign parking passes among Tenant and the other tenants in the Building provided that such allocation and assignment does not materially increase Tenant’s obligations or materially reduce Tenant’s rights hereunder. Tenant’s use of the Parking Facility shall be at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord shall have no duty to prevent any third party from causing any damage to or theft of any vehicles or other property occurring in the Parking Facility or otherwise in connection with any use of the Parking Facility by Tenant or its employees or invitees. Landlord may alter the size, configuration, design, layout or any other aspect of the Parking Facility without abatement of Rent or liability to Tenant provided that such alteration does not materially impair Tenant’s rights under this Section 24. In addition, for purposes of facilitating any such alteration, Landlord may temporarily deny or restrict access to the Parking Facility, without abatement of Rent or liability to Tenant, provided that Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to make reasonable substitute parking available to Tenant. Landlord may delegate its

 

22



 

responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator, in which case (i) such parking operator shall have all the right, of control reserved herein by Landlord, (ii) Tenant shall enter into a commercially reasonable parking agreement with such parking operator on substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth herein with respect to the parking spaces, (iii) Tenant shall pay such parking operator, rather than Landlord, any amounts required to be paid hereunder with respect to the parking spaces, and (iv) Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of such parking operator except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant’s parking rights under this Section 24 are solely for the benefit of Tenant’s employees and invitees and such rights may not be transferred without Landlord’s prior consent, except pursuant to a Transfer permitted under Section 14.

25.10           Interpretation. As used herein, the capitalized term “Section” refers to a section hereof unless otherwise specifically provided herein. As used in this Lease the terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Lease and the term “include” and its derivatives are not limiting. Any reference herein to “any part” or “any portion” of the Premises, the Property or any other property shall be construed to refer to all or any part of such property. Wherever this Lease requires Tenant to comply with any Law, rule, regulation, procedure or other requirement or prohibits Tenant from engaging in any particular conduct this Lease shall be deemed also to require Tenant to cause each of its employees, licensees, invitees and subtenants, and any other party claiming by, through or under

 

24



 

Tenant, to comply with such requirement or refrain from engaging in such conduct, as the case may be. Wherever this Lease requires Landlord to provide a customary service or to act in a reasonable manner (whether in incurring an expense, establishing a rule or regulation, providing an approval or consent, or performing any other act), this Lease shall be deemed also to provide that whether such service is customary or such conduct is reasonable shall be determined by reference to the practices of owners of buildings that (i) are comparable to the Building in size, age, class, quality and location, and (ii) at Landlord’s option, have been, or are being prepared to be, certified under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system or a similar rating system (“Comparable Buildings”) Tenant waives the benefit of any rule that a written agreement shall be construed against the drafting party. Whenever this Lease requires all approval, consent, selection or judgment by either Landlord or Tenant, unless another standard (such as “good faith”) is expressly set forth, such approval, consent, selection or judgment shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes hereof, (a) a matter (such as the application or violation of a Law) shall be deemed to result from a particular use (as distinguished from general office/R&D use) of the Premises if and only if such matter results from such use and a different office/R&D use could be made of the Premises without resulting in such matter; and (b) a matter (such as compliance with a Law) shall be deemed to be required for a particular use (as distinguished from general office/R&D use) of the Premises if and only if such matter is required for such use and a different office/R&D use could be made of the Premises without requiring such matter. For purposes hereof, a portion of the Premises shall be deemed to be untenantable during any period in which it cannot be used for any office/R&D use and is not used by Tenant other than to store Tenant’s property.

 

25.11           Entire Agreement. This Lease sets forth the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any previous agreements (none of which shall be used to interpret this Lease). Tenant acknowledges that in entering into this Lease it has not relied upon any representation, warranty or statement, whether oral or written, not expressly set forth herein. This Lease can be modified only by a written agreement signed by both parties.

 

25.12           Other. Landlord, at its option, may cure any Default, without waiving any right or remedy or releasing Tenant from any obligation, in which event Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the cost of such cure. If any provision hereof is void or unenforceable, no other provision shall be affected. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute an option or offer to lease, and this instrument is not binding until it has been executed and delivered by both parties. If Tenant is comprised of two or more parties, their obligations shall be joint and several. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision hereof in which time of performance is a factor. So long as Tenant performs its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall have peaceful and quiet possession of the Premises against any party claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the terms hereof. Landlord may transfer its interest herein, in which event Landlord shall be released from, and Tenant shall look solely to the transferee for the performance of, all of Landlord’s obligations arising hereunder after the date of such transfer (including the return of any Security Deposit), but only to the extent the transferee has assumed such obligations (whether by agreement or by operation of Law), and Tenant shall attorn to the transferee. If Tenant (or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant) pays directly to the provider for any energy consumed at the Property, Tenant, promptly upon request, shall deliver to Landlord (or, at Landlord’s option, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument enabling Landlord to obtain from such provider) any data about such consumption that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, is required to disclose to a prospective buyer, tenant or Security Holder under California Public Resources Code § 25402.10 or any similar Law. Landlord reserves all rights not expressly granted to Tenant hereunder, including the right to make alterations to the Project. No rights to any view of to light or air over any property are granted to Tenant hereunder. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and conditions, covenants and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications. Parcel Maps and conditions, covenants and restrictions do not (a) unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, the Common Area or the Parking Facility, including access thereto, or (b) materially increase Tenant’s obligations or materially reduce Tenant’s rights hereunder. Upon 10 days prior written request, Tenant shall sign any such documents, and take such other actions, which are reasonably necessary or appropriate to accomplish such granting, recordation and subordination of this Lease to same. The expiration or termination hereof shall not relieve either party of any obligation that accrued before, or continues to accrue after, such expiration or termination.

 

25.13           Athletic Facility. Subject to the provisions of this Section 25.13, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the Applicable Number (defined below) of memberships to the athletic facility located at 1100 Seaport Boulevard, Redwood City, California (the “Athletic Facility “). Such memberships shall be for the non-exclusive use of the Athletic Facility by Tenant’s employees during the Term. Such memberships shall be provided at no additional periodic charge beyond that required under Sections 1.5 and 3, provided, however that subject to the terms of such memberships, additional charges for particular services or privileges may apply. Any Tenant employee electing to use one of the memberships and the Athletic Facility first shall execute and deliver to Landlord (or the owner or operator of such Athletic Facility) Landlord’s (or such owner’s or operator’s) then-standard form of license or other agreement

 

25


 

governing such use. The use of the Athletic Facility shall be subject to the reasonable rules and regulations (including rules regarding hours of use) established from time to time by Landlord (or the owner or operator of such Athletic Facility). Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from any Claim that is imposed or asserted by any third party and arises from (a) any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant’s employee(s) in connection with the use of the Athletic Facility, or (b) any breach by Tenant’s employee(s) of any representation, covenant or other term contained in the license or other agreement governing such employee’s use of the Athletic Facility. The costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the Athletic Facility shall be included as part of Expenses, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4. For purposes of this Section 25.13, “Applicable Number” means the largest whole number not exceeding the number obtained by multiplying Tenant’s Project Share (defined below) by 6,400. As used herein, “Tenant’s Project Share” means the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises by the rentable square footage of the Project, as determined by Landlord from time to time. The parties acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, (a) the rentable square footage of the Project is 1,672,073 rentable square feet; and (b) Tenant’s Project Share is 6.3361%.

1                                 ALLOWANCE.

 

1.1               Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the “Allowance”) in the amount of $3,702,135.11 (i.e., $35.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) to be applied toward (a) the TI Allowance Items (defined in Section 1.2.1 below), as more fully provided in Section 1.2.1 below, and (b) the Other Allowance Items (defined in Section 1.3 below), as more fully provided in Section 1.3 below. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Initial Alteration Work, including the costs of the TI Allowance Items, to the extent such costs exceed the lesser of (a) the sum of the Allowance and the Space Planning Allowance (defined in Section 1.4 below), or (b) the aggregate amount that Landlord is required to disburse for such purpose pursuant to this Work Letter. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Other Allowance Items to the extent such costs exceed the aggregate amount that Landlord is required to disburse for such purpose pursuant to this Work Letter. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, if Tenant fails to use the entire Allowance by June 30, 2015, the unused amount shall revert to Landlord and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

 

1.2               Disbursement of Allowance.

 

1.2.1                     TI Allowance Items. Except as otherwise provided in this Work Letter, the Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord only for the following items (the “TI Allowance Items”) (a) the cost of planning, design and engineering of the Initial Alterations, including the fees of Tenant’s architect and engineers, if any, and any Review Fees (defined in Section 2.3 below); (b) plan-check, permit and license fees relating to performance of the Initial Alteration Work; (c) the cost of performing the Initial Alteration Work, including permitting, construction and installation costs, after hours charges, testing and inspection costs, freight elevator usage, hoisting and trash removal costs, contractors’ fees and general conditions, and project management fees; (d) the cost of any change to the base, shell or core of the Premises or Building required by Tenant’s plans and specifications (the “Plans”) (including if such change is due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), including all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith; (e) the cost of any change to the Plans or Initial Alteration Work required by Law; (f) the Coordination Fee (defined in Section 2.3 below); and (g) sales and use taxes.

1.2.2.1                                   Monthly Disbursements. Not more frequently than once per calendar month. Tenant may deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for payment of Tenant’s contractor, approved by Tenant, in AIA G-702/G-703 format or another format reasonably requested by Landlord, showing the schedule of values, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Initial Alteration Work, detailing the portion of the work completed and the portion not completed (which approved request shall be deemed Tenant’s approval and acceptance of the work and materials described therein); (ii) copies of all third-party contracts (including change orders) pursuant to which the Initial Alteration Work has been performed. including paid invoices from all parties providing labor or materials to the Premises (collectively, the “Construction Contracts”); (iii) executed conditional mechanic’s lien releases from all parties providing labor or materials to the Premises (along with unconditional mechanic’s lien releases for any prior payments made pursuant to the paragraph) satisfying California Civil Code §§ 8132 and/or 8134, as applicable; and (iv) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Within 30 days after receiving such materials, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant, payable jointly to Tenant and its contractor, in the amount of the lesser of (a) Landlord’s Share (defined below) of the amount requested by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence, less a 10% retention (the aggregate amount of such retentions shall be referred to in this Work Letter as the “Final Retention”), or (b) the amount of any remaining portion of the Allowance (not including the Final Retention). Landlord’s payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord’s approval or acceptance of the work or materials described in Tenant’s payment request. As used in this Section 1.2.2.1. “Landlord’s Share” means the lesser of (i) 100%, or (ii) the percentage obtained by dividing the Allowance by the estimated sum of all TI Allowance Items, as determined based on the Construction Contracts.

 

1



 

1.2.2.2                                   Final Retention. Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a check for the Final Retention, together with any other undisbursed portion of the Allowance required to pay for the TI Allowance Items, within 30 days after the latest of (a) the completion of the Initial Alteration Work in accordance with the approved plans and specifications; (b) Landlord’s receipt of (i) copies of all Construction Contracts; (ii) executed unconditional mechanic’s lien releases satisfying California Civil Code § 8138; (iii) a certificate from Tenant’s architect, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the Initial Alteration Work has been substantially completed; (iv) evidence that all governmental approvals required for Tenant to legally occupy the Premises have been obtained, and (v) any other information reasonably requested by Landlord; (c) Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of “as built” drawings (in CAD format, if requested by Landlord); or (d) Tenant’s compliance with Landlord’s standard “close-out” requirements regarding city approvals, closeout tasks, Tenant’s contractor, financial close-out matters, and Tenant’s vendors. Landlord’s payment of the Final Retention shall not be deemed Landlord’s approval of acceptance of the work or materials described in Tenant’s payment requests.

 

1.3               Disbursement for Other Allowance Items. If any portion of the Allowance remains after the TI Allowance Items have been fully paid for, then, subject to the last sentence of Section 1.1 above, Landlord, upon Tenant’s request, shall disburse such portion of the Allowance, not to exceed $211,550.58 (i.e., $2.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises), to Tenant, to be applied toward the reasonable costs of purchasing and installing in the Premises Tenant’s Lines, furniture, equipment, fixtures and/or other personal property (collectively “Other Allowance Items”), within 30 days after receiving paid invoices from Tenant with respect to such costs.

1.5               Landlord Costs. If the reasonable cost of the Initial Alteration Work is increased by reason of any Landlord Condition (defined below) and not by reason of any Act of Tenant, then the Allowance shall be increased by an amount equal to such cost increase. As used herein, “Landlord Condition” means (a) the existence in the Premises on the Delivery Date of (i) asbestos-containing materials, or (ii) Hazardous Materials in amounts or conditions that violate applicable Laws, or (b) any failure, on the Delivery Date, of the configuration or condition of the Base Building or the Common Areas of the Building or the Project to comply with the ADA or any other applicable Law, other than any such failure resulting from any particular use of the Premises (as distinguished from general office/R&D use).

 

1.6               Failure to Disburse. If Landlord fails to disburse any portion of the Allowance when due hereunder and such failure continues for 30 days after Tenant’s demand therefor (which demand shall reference, and quote verbatim in its entirety, this Section 1.6).

2

2.5               Landlord Delay. If, as a result of (a) any negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease of or by Landlord, or (b) any Landlord Condition, and not in either case because of any failure of Tenant to use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects thereof or because of any Act of Tenant.

It is the desire and intention of the parties to agree upon a mechanism and procedure under which controversies and disputes arising out of this Lease or related to the Premises will be resolved in a prompt and expeditious manner. Accordingly, except with respect to actions for unlawful or forcible detainer or with respect to the prejudgment remedy of attachment, any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party hereto against the other (and/or against its officers, directors, employees, agents or subsidiaries or affiliated entities) on any matters arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, whether sounding in contract, fort, or otherwise, shall be heard and resolved by a referee under the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638 — 645.1, inclusive (as same may be amended, or any successor statute(s) thereto) (the “Referee Sections”). Any fee to initiate the judicial reference proceedings and all fees charged and costs incurred by the referee shall be paid by the party initiating such procedure (except that if a reporter is requested by either party, then a reporter shall be present at all proceedings where requested and the fees of such reporter — except for copies ordered by the other parties — shall be borne by the party requesting the reporter); provided however, that allocation of the costs and fees, including any initiation fee, of such proceeding shall be ultimately determined in accordance with Section 25.6 of this Lease. The venue of the proceedings shall be in the county in which the Premises are located. Within 10 days of receipt by any party of a request to resolve any dispute or controversy pursuant to this Exhibit E, the parties shall agree upon a single referee who shall try all issues, whether of fact or law, and report a finding and judgment on such issues as required by the Referee Sections. If the parties are unable to agree upon a referee within such 10-day period, then any party may thereafter file a lawsuit in the county in which the Premises are located for the purpose of appointment of a referee under the Referee Sections. If the referee is appointed by the court, the referee shall be a neutral and impartial retired judge with substantial experience in the relevant matters to be determined, from Jams/Endispute, Inc., ADR Services, Inc. or a similar mediation/arbitration entity approved by each party in its sole and absolute discretion. The proposed referee may be challenged by any party for any of the grounds listed in the Referee Sections. The referee shall have the power to decide all issues of fact and law and report his or her decision on such issues, and to issue all recognized remedies available at law or in equity for any cause of action that is before the referee, including an award of attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with this Lease. The referee shall not, however, have the power to award punitive damages, nor any other damages that are not permitted by the express provisions of this Lease, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. The parties may conduct all discovery as provided in the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the referee shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery orders in the same manner as any trial court judge, with rights to regulate discovery and to issue and enforce subpoenas, protective orders and other limitations on discovery available under California Law. The reference proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with California Law (including the rules of evidence), and in all regards, the referee shall follow California Law applicable at the time of the reference proceeding. The parties shall promptly and diligently cooperate with one another and the referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain a prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute or controversy in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit E. In this regard, the parties agree that the parties and the referee shall use best efforts to ensure that (a) discovery be conducted for a period no longer than six (6) months from the date the referee is appointed, excluding motions regarding discovery, and (b) a trial date be set within 9 months of the date the referee is appointed. In accordance with Section 644 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the decision of the referee upon the whole issue must stand as the decision of the court, and upon the filing of the statement of decision with the clerk of the court, or with the judge if there is no clerk, judgment may be entered thereon in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the court. Any decision of the referee and/or judgment or other order entered thereon shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision, judgment, or order would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the superior court in which venue is proper hereunder. The referee shall in his/her statement of decision set forth his/her findings of fact and conclusions of law. The parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure. Nothing in this Exhibit E shall prejudice the right of any party to obtain provisional relief or other equitable remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction as shall otherwise be available under the Code of Civil Procedure and/or applicable court rules.

NOTICE TO TENANTS AND TRANSFEREES OF

CURRENT OR FUTURE USES OF ADJACENT PORT PROPERTY

 

Notice is hereby given to all lessees, tenants and transferees of land or interests in land located within the project commonly referred to as the “Pacific Shores Center” of the presence or potential future presence of Port (defined below) related industrial activities on the Port Parcel (defined below). All recipients of this notice should be aware of the following facts:

 

1. The parcel of Port property adjacent to Pacific Shores Center to the northwest (as more particularly shown on the Exhibit G-1 attached hereto, the “Port Parcel”) is now or may be developed for port related maritime and industrial uses similar to those occupying other properties along the west side of Seaport Boulevard and to the west of Pacific Shores Center.

 

2. Such Port related maritime and industrial activities are those which are permitted by the general industrial zoning of the City of Redwood City and may include heavy industrial land uses, including uses which involve the receipt, transport, storage or management of hazardous wastes, aggregates, cement, gravel and similar materials, including the outdoor storage and handling of such materials.

 

3. Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, has recognized, accepted and approved such uses of the Port Parcel subject to the utilization of Best Available Management Practices (defined on Exhibit G-2 hereof) in the development and use of the Port Parcel, Capitalized terms used but not defined in Exhibit G-2 hereof shall have meaning(s) given to such term(s) in that certain Agreement of Covenants Running With The Land dated March 27, 1988, between the City of Redwood City, a municipal corporation, acting by and through its Board of Port Commissioners (“Port”) and Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, recorded March 27, 1998 as Instrument No. 98-042844 in the Official Records of San Mateo County.

 

4. Despite the use of Best Available Management Practices on the Port Parcel by the Port and its lessees and licensees and despite Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership’s efforts (and the efforts of its successors and assigns) to ensure compatibility between such uses and those in Pacific Shores Center, it is possible that such uses will cause emissions into the air of dust or other particulate matter, or noise or odorous substances which may be offensive to or be perceived as a nuisance by occupants of Pacific Shores Center.

 

5. Pursuant to covenants made by Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership on behalf of its successors and assigns, tenants and lessees, the tenants, lessees and transferees of Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership have approved and accepted such neighboring uses subject to their utilization of Best Available Management Practices.

 

6. Any actions to enjoin the continuation of such uses or to recover any damages to persons or property related to their operations are subject to a requirement for prior notice found in recorded covenants by Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership. The following language is excerpted from such covenants:

 

“In the event that either party hereto believes that the other has failed to perform any covenant made herein in favor of the other, at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any action to enforce the covenants hereunder or to recover damages for the breach thereof, that party who believes that a failure to perform has occurred (the ‘Complaining Party’) shall give written notice (the ‘Notice’) to the party alleged not to have performed the covenant (the ‘Non-Complaining Party’) of the specific nature of the alleged failure and of the intent of the Complaining Party to take action to remedy the breach by the Non-Complaining Party. In the event that the nature of the alleged failure to perform is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice (the ‘Notice Period’), the Non-Complaining Party shall not be deemed to be in violation of its covenants and no action shall be commenced by the Complaining Party if, within the Notice Period, the Non-Complaining Party commences such cure and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the same to completion within a reasonable time, Provided, however, that the Complaining Party shall not be precluded from recovering any actual damages suffered by reason of the alleged failure to

perform prior to or after delivery of the Notice, whether or not such failure is thereafter cured”
