LEASE AGREEMENT

The Basic Lease Information set forth on Page 1 and this Lease-is-and shall be construed as a single instrument

 

1. PREMISES

Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions contained herein. Tenant shall have the right to use, on a non-exclusive basis, parking areas and ancillary facilities located within the Common Areas of the Park, subject to the terms of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of this Lease, as of the Lease Date, the rentable square footage area of each of the Premises, the Building and the Park shall be deemed to be the number of rentable square feet as set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the rentable square footage of the Premises may include a proportionate share of certain areas used in common by all occupants of the Building and/or the Park (by way of example only, corridors, common restrooms, and an electrical room and/or telephone room). The term “Project” as used herein shall mean and collectively refer to the Building, the Common Areas, the Lot and the Park.

 

2. OCCUPANCY; ADJUSTMENT OF COMMENCEMENT DATE

2.1 Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written amendment to this Lease, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, wherein the parties shall specify the actual commencement date, expiration date and the date on which Tenant is to commence paying Rent. The parties agree that (i) the Commencement Date of this Lease shall be the date (the “Commencement Date”) that is the later of October 15, 2011, or (unless waived by Tenant in writing) the date by which all of the following have occurred: (a) Landlord has Substantially Completed (as defined in Exhibit B) the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Lease, and (b) Landlord has delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant; (ii) any delays in completing the Tenant Improvements which result from changes to the final approved Tenant Improvement plans requested by Tenant (unless as a result of Landlord’s noncompliance or variance from any plans previously-agreed upon by the parties) shall not affect or otherwise extend the Commencement Date; (iii) any delays resulting from Tenant’s pre-Commencement Date occupancy installation, and/or interference with the installation of the Tenant Improvements shall not affect or otherwise extend the Commencement Date; and (iv) Landlord is solely and wholly responsible for the construction, cost and completion of the Tenant Improvements as defined in Exhibit B hereto. If the Lease Term has not commenced, as set forth in this Section 2.1, by November 15, 2011, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, and upon such termination, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Advance Rent and Security Deposit; and the parties shall be released from any additional liability hereunder. The Term shall expire on the day immediately preceding the 18th month anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Expiration Date”). The word “Term” whenever used herein refers to the initial term of this Lease and any valid extension(s) thereof.

2.2 Landlord shall permit Tenant to occupy the Premises after Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease and prior to the actual Commencement Date, for purposes of planning and work related to construction of the Tenant Improvements, as well as for purposes of installing in, on or about the Premises, Tenant’s personal property, equipment, fixtures, furnishings and any improvements not included in the definition of Tenant Improvements. Such pre-Commencement Date occupancy shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and subject to all the provisions of this Lease other than the payment of Rent, including, but not limited to requirements to provide a Certificate of insurance. Additionally, Landlord shall have the right to-impose additional reasonable conditions on Tenant’s early occupancy upon-reasonable advance written notice to Tenant.

 

3. Rent

On the date that Tenant executes this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the original executed Lease, the Advance Rent (which shall be applied against the Rent payable for the first month(s) Tenant is required to pay Rent), and the Security Deposit. On or prior to the Commencement Date or any early occupancy pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all insurance certificates evidencing the insurance required to be obtained by Tenant under Section 12 of this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the Base Rent, without prior notice or demand, abatement, offset; deduction or claim, in advance at Landlord’s Address on the Commencement Date (except to the extent covered by the Advance Rent) and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of the Lease. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs, and Utility Expenses. The term “Rent” whenever used herein refers to the aggregate of all these amounts. The Rent for any fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement or expiration or termination of the Lease Term shall be a prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty (30) day month. The prorated Rent shall be paid on the Commencement Date (except to the extent covered by the Advance Rent) and the first day of the calendar month in which the date of expiration or termination occurs.

 

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Simultaneously with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as a Security Deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information. If Tenant is in default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any, Landlord

 

3


may, but without obligation to do so, use all or any portion of the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall, immediately on demand, pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security Deposit so applied or used to replenish the amount of the Security Deposit held to increase such deposit to the amount initially deposited with Landlord. At any time after Tenant has become in Chronic Default hereunder, Landlord may require an-increase in the amount of the Security Deposit required hereunder for the then balance of the Term and Tenant shall, immediately on demand, pay to Landlord such additional sums. As soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, less such amounts as are reasonably necessary, as determined by Landlord, to remedy Tenant’s default(s) hereunder or to otherwise restore the Premises to the condition required by the Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If the cost to restore the Premises to the condition required by the Lease exceeds the amount of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord any and all of such excess sums. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from other funds, and, unless otherwise required by law, Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. In no event or circumstance shall Tenant have the right to any use of the Security Deposit and, specifically, Tenant may not use the Security Deposit as a credit or to otherwise offset any payments required hereunder.

 

5. CONDITION OF PREMISES; TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

Tenant agrees to accept the Premises on the Commencement Date as then being suitable for Tenant’s intended use and in good operating order, condition and repair in its then existing “AS IS” condition, provided the same is broom clean and free of debris and except as otherwise set forth in the Lease and Exhibit B hereto. Tenant shall have use of the existing furniture, fixtures and equipment located within the Premises and listed on Exhibit D. including, but not limited to cubicles, chairs, private office furniture, kitchen furniture, server racks, wiring and all other fixtures in the Premises (“FF&E”), at no additional charge or rent to Tenant. Tenant may reconfigure the cubicles, without obligation to restore them to their original location at the end of the term, but Tenant may not dispose or otherwise discard of excess FF&E not in use, or parts thereof. Tenant agrees to return Landlord’s FF&E at the end of the term in the same condition as when received, except that Tenant may cause of the height of cubicle walls to be reduced by a professional firm, and subject to normal wear and tear and casualty, unless such casualty is caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Indemnitees (as defined in Section 13 below). The Tenant Improvements (defined in Exhibit B) shall be installed in accordance with the terms, conditions, criteria and provisions set forth in Exhibit B. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in good condition and state of repair, subject to punch list items, latent defects and Landlord’s obligations in the last sentence of this Section 5. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s agents, representatives or employees has made any representations as to the suitability, fitness or condition of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business or for any other purpose, including without limitation, any storage incidental thereto. Any Tenant Improvements to be constructed hereunder shall be in compliance with the requirements of the ADA (defined below), and all costs incurred for purposes of compliance therewith shall be a part of and included in the costs of the Tenant Improvements. During the first three (3) months of the Lease, Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice from Tenant, remedy any failure of the Building or Premises to comply with the following at Landlord’s sole cost and expense: (i) the lighting, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, sewer, elevator and other systems serving the Premises and the Building will be in good operating condition and repair, (iii) the landscaping and parking lot will be in good condition and repair, and (iii) the roof of the Building will be in good condition and watertight.

6.2 Tax Expenses: Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of all real property taxes applicable to the Project. Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay any and all taxes and assessments levied upon Tenant’s Property (defined below in Section 10) located or installed in or about the Premises by, or on behalf of Tenant. To the extent any such taxes or assessments are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord. Tenant shall also reimburse and pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, one hundred percent (100%) of (i) any increase in real property taxes attributable to any and all Alterations (defined below in Section 10), Tenant Improvements, fixtures, equipment or other improvements of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the Premises for the benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant, and (ii) taxes and assessments levied or assessed upon or with respect to the possession, operation, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any other portion of the Project.

6


value added tax, or any tax imposed in substitution (partially or totally) of any tax previously included within the definition of real property taxes, or any additional tax the nature of which was previously included within the definition of real property taxes. The term “Tax Expenses” shall not include and Tenant shall not be required to pay any tax or assessment expense or any increase therein (i) levied on Landlord’s rental income, unless such tax or assessment expense is imposed in lieu of real-property taxes; (ii) imposed on land and improvements other than the Project; (iii) resulting from the improvement of any of the Building or the Project for the sole use of other occupants; (iv) franchise, estate, inheritance, net income, or excess profits tax imposed upon Landlord, or (v) a penalty fee imposed as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay Tax Expenses when due. Landlord acknowledges that it is currently contesting and appealing the county’s appraised value of the Lot on which the Building is located and the related real property tax and agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently continue such contest/appeal to get the issue resolved to its satisfaction, in Landlord’s sole, absolute and subjective discretion. If the Tax Expenses on the Lot are lowered at any time after Tenant has paid its Share of Tax Expenses, Landlord shall credit Tenant in the amount of that portion of Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses actually paid by Tenant and which would not have been required to have been paid had such Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses been calculated based on the appraised value of the Lot after the resolution of the contest/appeal, such credit to be applied against the installment(s) of Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses next due from Tenant until such time as the entire overpayment has been credited.

6.3 Payment of Expenses: Landlord shall estimate Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for the calendar year in which the Lease commences. Commencing on the Commencement Date, one-twelfth (1/12th) of this estimated amount shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, as Additional Rent, and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the remaining months of such calendar year. Thereafter, Landlord may estimate such expenses for each calendar year during the Term of this Lease and Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amount as Additional Rent hereunder on the first (1st) day of each month during such calendar year and for each ensuing calendar year throughout the Term of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

6.4 Annual Reconciliation: By June 30th of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible (but in no event more than three (3) months thereafter, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an accounting of actual and accrued Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses. Within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s delivery of such accounting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment Failure by Landlord to give such accounting by such date shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to collect any underpayment by Tenant at any time. Landlord shall credit the amount of any overpayment by Tenant toward the next estimated monthly installment(s) falling due, or where the Term of the Lease has expired, refund the amount of overpayment to Tenant as soon as possible thereafter. If the Term of the Lease expires prior to the annual reconciliation of expenses Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate Tenant’s Share of such expenses, and if Landlord determines that there has been an underpayment, Landlord may deduct such underpayment from Tenant’s Security Deposit Failure by Landlord to accurately estimate Tenant’s Share of such expenses or to otherwise perform such reconciliation of expenses shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect any of Tenant’s underpayment at any time during the Term of the Lease or at any time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, except as stated above. Any Operating Expense or Tax Expense statement provided by Landlord hereunder shall include detailed schedule of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses and, upon request by Tenant, copies of invoices will be provided.

 

7. UTILITIES AND SERVICES

Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of all (i) water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and sewer connection fees, gas, electricity, telephone, telecommunications, cabling and other utilities billed or metered separately to the Premises and (ii) refuse pickup and janitorial service to the Premises. Utility Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs and all other sums and charges set forth in this Section 7 are considered part of Additional Rent

7.1 Utility Expenses: For any such utility fees, use charges, or similar services that are not billed or metered separately to Tenant, including without limitation, water and sewer charges, and garbage and waste disposal (collectively, “Utility Expenses”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses. If Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses is not commensurate with Tenant’s use of such services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount which is attributable to Tenant’s use of the utilities or similar services, as reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord, based upon factors such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of such utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges reasonably consistent with Tenant’s use of such utilities and similar services. If Tenant disputes any such estimate or determination, then Tenant shall either pay the estimated amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s Share of any assessments, charges, and fees included within any tax bill for the Lot on which the Premises are situated, including without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, sewer use fees, and any other similar fees or charges. In the event the building is less than 95% occupied, for a period greater than 30 days, Landlord will adjust the actual utility expenses to reflect 95% occupancy (Gross-up Utility Expense) and the Tenant’s share shall be applied to the Gross-up Utility Expense.

7.2 Common Area Utility Costs: Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of any Common Area utility costs, fees, charges and expenses (collectively, “Common Area Utility Costs”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount of Tenant’s Share of the Common Area Utility Costs on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease. Any reconciliation thereof shall be in the same manner as set forth in Section 6.4 above.

 

7


7.3 Miscellaneous: Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may become subject to the rationing of utility services or restrictions on utility use as required by a public utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant agrees that its tenancy and occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing restrictions as may be imposed by public utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof upon Landlord, Tenant, the Premises, or other portions of the Project, and Tenant shall in no event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or restrictions. If permitted by applicable Laws, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term of this Lease to either contract for service from a different company or companies (each such company referred to as an “Alternate Service Provider”) other than the company or companies presently providing electricity service for the Project (the “Electric Service Provider”) or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service Provider, at Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises. If electrical power or HVAC is interrupted due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents (a “Utility Interruption”), and Tenant is unable to carry on its business in a reasonably normal manner due to the failure of any of such utilities and services, and therefore vacates all or the affected portion of the Premises for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive days, the minimum monthly rent and direct expenses payable under this Lease shall be abated retroactively from the, first day of the Utility Interruption (in proportion to the area of the Premises un-useable by Tenant by reason of such failure, if less than all of the Premises is affected) and for as long as such inability to carry on Tenant’s business continues, until such time as the service is restored. In the event of any curtailment, diminution, or failure with respect to utilities and services in the Building or the Premises, Landlord agrees to use due diligence to restore full service.

 

8. LATE CHARGES

Any and all sums or charges set forth in this Section 8 are considered part of Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment, defined as payment after the fifth day of each month or any time thereafter (“Late Payment”), by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and all other sums due hereunder, will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs may include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by any encumbrance against the Premises, and late charges and penalties due to the late payment of real property taxes on the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days of when due, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord a late charge, as liquidated damages, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such delinquent amount. If Late Payment continues beyond the 30th of the month in which due, interest on such delinquent amount shall be due at the rate equal to the prime rate most recently published in the Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%) for every month or portion thereof that such sums remain unpaid. If Tenant delivers to Landlord a check for which there are not sufficient funds, Landlord may require Tenant to replace such check with a cashier’s check for the amount of such check and all other charges payable hereunder. The parties agree that this late charge and the other charges referenced above represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment by Tenant, excluding attorneys’ fees and costs. Acceptance of any late charge or other charges shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to the delinquent amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord for any other breach of Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not impose a late charge on Tenant pursuant to this section the first time Tenant is late in making any payment in any twelve (12) month period, provided that Landlord may impose a late charge even for such instances if the payment has not been received by Landlord by the tenth (10th) of the month.

 

9. USE OF PREMISES

9.1 Compliance with Laws, Recorded Matters, and Rules and Regulations: The Premises are to be used solely for the purposes and uses specified in the Basic Lease Information and for no other uses or purposes without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the proposed use (i) does not involve the use of Hazardous Materials other than as expressly permitted under the provisions of Section 29 below, (ii) does not require any additional parking spaces, and (iii) is compatible and consistent with the other uses then being made in the Park and in other similar types of buildings in the vicinity of the Park, as reasonably determined by Landlord. The use of the Premises by Tenant and its employees, representatives, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, customers or contractors (collectively, “Tenant’s Representatives”) shall be subject to, and at all times in compliance with, (a) any and all applicable laws, rules, codes, ordinances, statutes, orders and regulations as same exist from time to time throughout the Term of this Lease (collectively, the “Laws”), including without limitation, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law codified at 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., including, but not limited to Title III thereof, all regulations and guidelines related thereto and all requirements of Title 24 of the State of California (collectively, the “ADA”), (b) any and all documents, instruments, licenses, restrictions, easements or similar instruments, conveyances or encumbrances which are at any time, and from time to time, required to be made by or given by Landlord in any manner relating to the initial development of the Project and/or the construction from time to time of any additional buildings or other improvements in the Project, including without limitation any Tenant Improvements

 

8


(collectively, the “Development Documents”), (c) any and all documents, easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions, and similar instruments, together with any and all amendments and supplements thereto made from time to time each of which has-been or hereafter is recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Project (collectively, the “Recorded Matters”), and (d) any and all rules and regulations-set forth in Exhibit-C hereto, any other reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord now or hereafter enacted relating to parking and the operation of the Premises and/or any other part of the Project and any and all rules, restrictions and/or regulations imposed by any applicable owners association or similar entity or body (collectively, the “Rules and Regulations”).

Additionally, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of all costs, fees and expenses associated with any modifications, improvements or other Alterations to the Premises and/or any other portion of the Project occasioned by the enactment of or changes to, any Laws arising from Tenant’s particular use of the Premises or Alterations or other improvements made to the Premises regardless of when such Laws became effective. Tenant shall not initiate, submit an application for, or otherwise request, any land use approvals or entitlements with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Project, including without limitation, any variance, conditional use permit or rezoning, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall not be required to make any alterations to cause the Premises to comply with any Laws except to the extent such compliance is necessitated due to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises. Tenant shall not be required to comply with any Building or Project rule or regulation unless the same applies non-discriminatorily to all occupants of the Building or Project, does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of access to or parking at the Premises, and does not materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under the Lease.

9.2 Prohibition on Use: Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises nor keep or bring anything therein which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any policy of fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy. No auctions may be held or otherwise conducted in, on or about any portion of the Premises or the Project without Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or other tenants or occupants of any portion of the Project. The Premises shall not be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any private or public nuisance in, on or about any portion of the Premises or the Project, including, but not limited to, any offensive odors, noises, fumes or vibrations. Tenant shall not damage or deface or otherwise commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, upon or about the Premises or any other portion of the Project Tenant shall not place or store, nor permit any other person or entity to place or store, any property, equipment, materials, supplies, personal property or any other items or goods outside of the Premises for any period of time. Tenant shall not permit any animals, including, but not limited to, any household pets, to be brought or kept in or about the Premises, except that assistance animals for disabled persons may be brought (but not kept) in and about the Premises.

Tenant shall not place any harmful liquids in the drainage systems or dump or store waste materials, refuse or other such materials, or allow such materials to remain outside the Building area, except for any non-hazardous or non-harmful materials which may be stored in refuse dumpsters.

 

10. ALTERATIONS; AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES

10.1 Alterations: Tenant shall not install any signs, fixtures, improvements, nor make or permit any other alterations or additions (individually, an “Alteration”, and collectively, the “Alterations”) to the Premises, in excess of $25,000 per installation or $25,000 in any twelve month period, without the prior written consent of Landlord. If any such Alteration is expressly permitted by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver at least ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord, from the date Tenant intends to commence construction, sufficient to enable Landlord to post a Notice of Non-Responsibility. In all events, Tenant shall obtain all permits or other governmental approvals prior to commencing any of such work and deliver a copy of same to Landlord. All Alterations shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and shall be installed by a licensed contractor (reasonably approved by Landlord) in compliance with all applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, the ADA), Development Documents, Recorded Matters, and Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property on which the Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall, prior to construction of any and all Alterations, provide additional insurance as reasonably required, and also such assurances to Landlord, including without limitation, waivers of lien, surety company performance bonds as Landlord shall reasonably require to assure payment of the costs thereof to protect Landlord and the Project from and against any loss from any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens.

10.2 Surrender of Premises: At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in good condition and repair (damage by acts of God, casualty, Landlord’s obligations hereunder and normal wear and tear excepted), but with all interior walls cleaned, any

 

9


carpets cleaned, all floors cleaned and waxed, all non-working light bulbs and ballasts replaced and all roll-up doors and plumbing fixtures in good condition and working order, and (b) in accordance with the provisions of Section 27 hereof. Normal wear and tear shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by proper maintenance by Tenant, or Tenant otherwise performing all of its obligations under this Lease. On or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, (i) Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined) and Tenant’s signage from the Premises and the other portions of the Project, and (ii) Landlord may, by notice to Tenant given at the time of its consent thereto, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any or all Alterations not installed as part of the initial Tenant Improvements and Tenant shall remove such requested Alterations from the Premises. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal of the Tenant’s Property or the requested Alterations. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant’s Property” shall mean and refer to all equipment, trade fixtures, computer wiring and cabling, furnishings, inventories, goods and personal property of Tenant located in the Premises, but not the Landlord’s FF&E or computer or telecommunication wiring and cabling existing as of the date hereof. Tenant’s Property shall at all times be and remain Tenant’s property and at any time Tenant may remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, provided that Tenant repairs all damage caused by such removal. Any of Tenant’s Property not so removed by Tenant as required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and disposition of such property; provided, however, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all costs incurred in storing and disposing of such abandoned property of Tenant. All Tenant Improvements and Alterations except those which Landlord requires Tenant to remove in accordance with the terms of the Lease shall remain in the Premises as the property of Landlord. If the Premises are not surrendered at the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 27 below, Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the payment of Rent (as the same may be increased pursuant to Section 20 below) until the Premises are so surrendered in accordance with said provisions; Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnitees (hereafter defined) harmless from and against any and all damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any claim against Landlord made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded on or resulting from such delay and losses and damages suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or prospective tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees and costs.

10


misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s Indemnitees; and (f) which could be treated as a “capital expenditure” under generally accepted accounting principles (including those such capital expenditures to or for the roof, mechanical systems in the Premises and Building). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11 to the contrary, Landlord-shall have-the right, acting in accordance with the terms of the Lease, to either repair or to require Tenant to repair any damage to any portion of the Premises and any other portion of the Project caused by or created due to any act; omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant Representatives and to restore the Premises and the other affected portions of the Project, as applicable, to the condition existing prior to the occurrence of such damage. If Landlord elects to perform such repair and restoration work, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall promptly report, in writing, to Landlord any defective condition known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so report any such defect shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred by Landlord by reason of such condition. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Tenant at any time be responsible to make or for any payment relating to or in connection with any capital expenditure for replacement of the roof, any mechanical (including without limitation HVAC) systems and/or the elevator (unless and until Tenant may expand or move into the second floor of the Building) in the Building; such capital replacements shall be made by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.

If Landlord makes such repairs or maintenance, upon completion thereof Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred therefor. The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Lease or the earlier termination thereof. Tenant hereby waives any right to repair at the expense of Landlord under any applicable Laws now or hereafter in effect with respect to the Premises.

 

12. INSURANCE

12.1 Types of Insurance: Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect at all times during the Term of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the protection of Tenant and Landlord (as an additional insured), as their interests may appear, policies of insurance issued by a carrier or carriers reasonably acceptable to Landlord and its lender which afford the following coverages: (i) worker’s compensation and employer’s liability, as required by law; (ii) commercial general liability insurance (occurrence form) providing coverage against any and all claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring in, on or about the Premises arising out of Tenant’s and Tenant’s Representatives’ use or occupancy of the Premises. Such insurance shall include coverage for blanket contractual liability, fire damage, premises, personal injury, completed operations and products liability. Such insurance shall have a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence with a Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000) aggregate limit and excess/umbrella insurance in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). If Tenant has other locations which it owns or leases, the policy shall include an aggregate limit per location; endorsement, (iii) comprehensive automobile liability insurance with a combined single limit of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence for claims arising out of any company owned automobiles; (iv) “all risk” or “special purpose” property insurance, including without limitation, covering damage to or loss of any of Tenant’s Property any tenant improvements (other than the Tenant Improvements defined in Exhibit B) located in, on or about the Premises, and in addition, coverage for business interruption of Tenant, together with, if the property of any of Tenant’s invitees, vendors or customers is to be kept in the Premises, warehouser’s legal liability or bailee customers insurance for the full replacement cost of the property belonging to such parties and located in the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on a replacement cost basis (without deduction for depreciation) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement value of the aggregate of the items referred to in this clause (iv); and (v) such other insurance or higher limits of liability as may be reasonably required by any of Landlord’s lenders.

12.2 Insurance Policies: Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be written by companies (i) licensed to do business in the State of California, (ii) domiciled in the United States of America, and (iii) having a “General Policyholders Rating” of at least A:X (or such higher rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises) as set forth in the most current issue of “A.M. Best’s Rating Guides.” Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance and true and complete copies of any and all endorsements required herein for all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder at the time of execution of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall, at least fifteen (15) days prior to expiration of each policy, furnish Landlord with certificates of renewal or “binders” thereof. Each certificate shall expressly provide that such policies shall not be cancelable or otherwise subject to material modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the parties named as additional

 

11


insureds as required in this Lease (except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium, in which event cancellation shall not take effect until at least ten (10) days’ notice has been given to Landlord). Tenant shall have the right to provide insurance coverage which it is obligated to carry pursuant to the terms of this Lease under a blanket insurance policy, provided such blanket policy expressly affords coverage for the Premises and for Landlord as required by this Lease.

12.3 Additional Insureds and Coverage: Each of Landlord, Landlord’s property management company or agent, and Landlord’s lender(s) having a lien against the Premises or any other portion of the Project shall be named as additional insureds or loss payees (as applicable) under all of the policies required in Section 12.1(ii) and, with respect to the Tenant Improvements, in Section 12.1(iv) hereof. Additionally, all of such policies shall provide for severability of interest. All insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall, except for workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance, be primary, without right of contribution from insurance maintained by Landlord. Any umbrella/excess liability policy (which shall be in “following form”) shall provide that if the underlying aggregate is exhausted, the excess coverage will drop down as primary insurance. The limits of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. It is the parties’ intention that the insurance to be procured and maintained by Tenant as required herein shall provide coverage for any and all damage or injury arising from or related to Tenant’s operations of its business and/or Tenant’s or Tenant’s Representatives’ use of the Premises and any of the areas within the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Landlord’s cost of maintaining insurance with respect to the Building and/or any other buildings within the Project is increased as a result of Tenant’s acts, omissions, Alterations, improvements, use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of; and for, each such increase as Additional Rent.

12.4 Failure of Tenant to Purchase and Maintain Insurance: If Tenant fails to obtain and maintain the insurance required herein throughout the Term of this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, after ten (100 day written notice to Tenant, purchase the necessary insurance and pay the premiums therefor. If Landlord so elects to purchase such insurance, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, the amount so paid by Landlord, upon Landlord’s demand therefor. In addition, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, any and all losses, damages, expenses and costs which Landlord may sustain or incur by reason of Tenant’s failure to obtain and maintain such insurance.

12.5 Waiver of Subrogation: Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and their respective agents, employees, successors, assignees and sublessees from all liability for injury to any person or damage to any property that is caused by or results from a risk which is actually insured against, which is required to be insured against under the Lease, or which would normally be covered by “all risk” property insurance, without regard to the negligence or willful misconduct of the person or entity so released. All of Landlord’s and Tenant’s repair and indemnity obligations under the Lease shall be subject to the waiver and release contained in this paragraph. Each party shall cause each insurance policy it obtains to provide that the insurer thereunder waives all recovery by way of subrogation as required herein in connection with any injury or damage covered by such policy and shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by its insurer, whereby the insurer waives its rights of subrogation against the other party. This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of the parties hereto, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier.

12.6 Landlord’s Insurance: Landlord shall maintain “all risk” property insurance insuring against risk of loss or damage to the Building and the Project for at least 90% of the full replacement cost thereof.

 

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

Except to the extent of damage resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives or as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Tenant agrees to protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and Landlord’s lenders, partners, members, property management company (if other than Landlord), agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, contractors, successors and assigns and each of their respective partners, members, directors, heirs, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless and indemnify the Indemnitees from and against all liabilities, damages, demands, penalties, costs, claims, losses, judgments, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of court and expenses necessary in the prosecution or defense of any litigation including the enforcement of this provision) (collectively, “Claims”) arising from or in any way related to, directly or indirectly, (i) Tenant’s or Tenant’s Representatives’ use of the Premises and other portions of the Project, (ii) the conduct of Tenant’s business, (iii) from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises, (iv) in any way connected with the Premises, the Alterations or with the Tenant’s Property therein, including, but not limited to, any liability for injury to person or property of Tenant, Tenant’s Representatives or third parry persons, and/or (v) Tenant’s failure to perform any covenant or obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall not be released or indemnified from Claims arising from, directly or indirectly, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Indemnitees, Landlord’s or Landlord’s Indemnitees’ violation of any Law, order or regulation, or a breach of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease. Tenant agrees that the obligations of Tenant herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Except to the extent of damage resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of the Indemnitees

 

12


shall at any time or to any extent whatsoever be liable, responsible or in any way accountable for any loss, liability, injury, death or damage to persons or property which at any time may be suffered or sustained by Tenant or by any person(s) whomsoever who may at any time be using, occupying or visiting the Premises or any other portion of the Project, including, but not limited to, any acts, errors or omissions of any other tenants or occupants of the Project. Tenant shall not, in any event or circumstance, be permitted to offset or otherwise credit against any payments of Rent required herein for matters for which Landlord may be liable hereunder. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any interference with light or air, or for any latent defect in the Premises or the Building except to the extent expressly set forth in the Lease.

 

14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING

14.1 Prohibition: Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber, grant any license or concession, pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein, permit any assignment or other such transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives (all of the foregoing are sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought-to be made is sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 14, and all subsequent Transfers may be made only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but which consent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.

14.2 Request for Consent: If Tenant seeks to make a Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, and deliver to Landlord at least thirty (30) days (but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days) prior to the proposed commencement date of the Transfer (the “Proposed Effective Date”) the following information and documents (the “Tenant’s Notice”): (i) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”); (ii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer including without limitation, the Proposed Effective Date, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of the existing or proposed assignment, sublease or other agreement governing the proposed Transfer; (iii) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, member, partner or owner thereof, and any such other information as Landlord may then reasonably require, including without limitation, audited financial statements for the previous three (3) most recent consecutive fiscal years, if the proposed Transferee was in operation for that period of time; (iv) the Plans and Specifications (defined below), if any; and (v) such other information as Landlord may then reasonably require. Tenant shall give Landlord the Tenant’s Notice by registered or certified mail addressed to Landlord at Landlord’s Address specified in the Basic Lease Information. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Tenant’s Notice (the “Landlord Response Period”) Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of its determination with respect to such requested proposed Transfer. If Landlord does consent to the requested proposed Transfer, Tenant may thereafter assign its interests in and to this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises to the same party and on the same terms as set forth in the Tenant’s Notice. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s Notice within Landlord’s Response Period, then the proposed Transfer shall then be deemed approved by Landlord.

14.3 Criteria for Consent: Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could reasonably withhold consent to a proposed Transfer, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (a) Tenant is in Default or Chronic Default at the time of request for consent to a proposed Transfer or at the time that the proposed Transfer would be effective, (b) the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed Transferee is prohibited under this Lease or differs from the uses permitted under this Lease, (c) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with additional requirements of the ADA beyond those requirements which are applicable to Tenant, unless the proposed Transferee shall (1) first deliver plans and specifications for complying with such additional requirements (the “Plans and Specifications”) and obtain Landlord’s written consent thereto, and (2) comply with all Landlord’s conditions contained in such consent, (d) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the proposed Transferee’s creditworthiness or the character of the business to be conducted by the proposed Transferee at the Premises, (e) the proposed Transfer would violate any “exclusive” rights of any occupants in the Project or cause Landlord to violate another agreement or obligation to which Landlord is a party or otherwise subject, or (f) the proposed Transferee will use, store or handle Hazardous Materials (defined below) in or about the Premises of a type, nature or quantity not then acceptable to Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion.

14.4 Effectiveness of Transfer and Continuing Obligations: Prior to the date on which any permitted Transfer becomes effective, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) a counterpart of the fully executed Transfer document, and (ii) Landlord’s standard form of Consent to Assignment or Consent to Sublease, as applicable, executed by Tenant (in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant) and the Transferee in which each of Tenant and the Transferee confirms its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Failure or refusal of a Transferee to execute any such consent instrument shall not release or discharge the Transferee from its obligation to do so or from any liability as provided herein. The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases. Each permitted Transferee shall assume and be deemed to assume this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for payment of Rent and for the due performance of, and compliance with all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or complied with, for the Term of this Lease. No Transfer shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and Tenant shall not be released from

 

13


performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. An assignee of Tenant shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, but no Transfer by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligations or liability under this Lease whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment, subletting or other Transfer. The acceptance of any or all of the Rent by Landlord from any other person (whether or not such person is an occupant of the Premises) shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. Any and all options, first rights of refusal, tenant improvement allowances and other similar rights granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, shall not be assignable by Tenant unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord. Any transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent, shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant of this Lease. As Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, a fee in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500) plus Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed Transfer not to exceed $1,500.

14.5 Recapture: Intentionally Deleted.

14.6 Transfer Premium: If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the Tenant hereby agrees is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent any “Transfer Premium” received by Tenant from such Transferee. The term “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent and other consideration payable by such Transferee which either initially or over the term of the Transfer exceeds the Rent or pro rata portion of the Rent, as the case may be, for such space reserved in the Lease. Tenant shall pay the Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same time as the monthly installments of Rent are payable hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of the Transfer Premium- after Tenant has deducted and recovered any reasonable costs incurred in connection with the Transfer including, without limitation any brokerage fees, attorneys’ fees, and remodeling or tenant improvement costs.

14.7 Waiver: Notwithstanding any Transfer, or any indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to any Transferee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any Transferee, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against or joined such Transferee, except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time granted to any such Transferee.

14.8 Permitted Transactions: Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Section 14 to the contrary, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, without any right of recapture and without payment of any amount to Landlord, sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to (a) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, (b) a successor corporation related to Tenant by merger, consolidation, or nonbankruptcy reorganization, or (c) a purchaser of a controlling interest in Tenant or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises (collectively, “Permitted Transactions”). Neither the sale or transfer of Tenant’s capital stock, including, without limitation, a transfer in connection with the merger, consolidation or nonbankruptcy reorganization of Tenant and any sale through any private or public offering, nor the pledge of or grant of a security interest in any of the Tenant’s capital stock shall be deemed an assignment, subletting or other transfer of the Lease or the Premises.

 

15. SUBORDINATION

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Lease, the rights of Tenant under this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest shall be subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building, the Lot, or any other portion of the Project, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now or hereafter exist for which the Building, the Lot, ground. leases or underlying leases, any other portion of the Project or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of said items is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or any such ground lessor, mortgagee, or any beneficiary shall have the right to require this Lease-be superior to any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens, mortgage or deed of trust. If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, provided such successor in interest will not disturb Tenant’s use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises if Tenant is not in material default of the terms and provisions of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period. The successor in interest to Landlord following foreclosure, sale or deed in lieu thereof shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership (except for maintenance and repair obligations of a continuing nature); (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor, (c) bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month’s Rent, except if actually received or in those instances when Tenant pays Rent quarterly in advance pursuant to Section 8 hereof; then not more than three months’ Rent, or (d) liable to Tenant for any Security Deposit not actually received by such successor in interest to the extent any portion or all of such Security Deposit has not already been forfeited by, or refunded to, Tenant. Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all or any portion of the Security Deposit not forfeited by, or refunded to Tenant, until and unless Landlord transfers such Security Deposit to the successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute (and acknowledge if required by Landlord, any lender or ground lessor) and deliver, within ten (10) business days of a demand or request by Landlord and in any commercially reasonable form requested by Landlord, ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust, provided that such form and/or documents contain a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement for the benefit of Tenant.

16. RIGHT OF ENTRY

Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable prior notice, for purposes of inspection, exhibition, posting of notices, investigation, replacements, repair, maintenance and alteration. It is further agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord deems necessary to enter the Premises in an emergency. Landlord shall have the right to place “for rent” or “for lease’’ signs on the outside of the Premises, the Building and in the Common Areas during the last six (6) months of the Term. Landlord shall also have the right to place “for sale” signs on the outside of the Building and in the Common Areas. Tenant hereby waives any Claim from damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, or any other loss occasioned thereby except for any Claim for any of the foregoing arising out of the sole active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives. Landlord and its agents, except in the case of emergency or to provide regular services, shall provide Tenant with at lease one (1) business day notice prior to entry of the Premises. Any entry by Landlord and its agents shall not impair Tenant’s operations more than reasonably necessary, and shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable security measures.

 

17. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

Tenant shall execute (and acknowledge if required by any lender or ground lessor) and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after Landlord provides such to Tenant, a statement in writing and in a commercially reasonable form certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such -modification), the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults as are claimed, and such other matters as Landlord may reasonably require. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Building or other portions of the Project. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the Tenant that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance; and (c) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance, except in those instances when Tenant pays Rent quarterly in advance pursuant to Section 8 hereof; then not more than three months’ Rent has been paid in advance.

 

18. TENANTS DEFAULT

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events, and the continuance thereof beyond any applicable notice and cure period, shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease:

18.1 The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1951.3;

18.2 The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required hereunder on the date said payment is due and such failure is not cured within five (5) days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant. Tenant agrees that any such written notice delivered by Landlord shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, serve as the statutorily required notice under applicable law, provided that any such notice conforms-with the requirements of applicable law;

18.3 The failure by Tenant to observe, perform or comply with any of the conditions, covenants or provisions of this Lease (except failure to make any payment of Rent and/or Additional Rent) and such failure is not cured within (i) thirty (30) days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant for all failures other than with respect to (a) Hazardous Materials (defined in Section 27 hereof), (b) Tenant making the repairs, maintenance and replacements required under the provisions of Section 11.1 hereof (where such failure results in a threat of imminent harm to persons or property), or (c) the timely delivery by Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”), a counterpart of a fully executed Transfer document and a consent thereto (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”), an estoppel certificate and insurance certificates, (ii) ten (10) business days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant for all failures in any way related to Hazardous Materials or Tenant failing to timely make the repairs, maintenance or replacements required by Section 11.1 (where such failure results in a threat of imminent harm to persons or property), and (iii) the time period, if any, specified in the applicable sections of this Lease with respect to subordination, assignment and sublease, estoppel certificates and insurance. However, Tenant shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if such failure (other than any failure of Tenant to timely and properly make the repairs, maintenance, or replacements required by Section 11.1 (where such failure results in a threat of imminent harm to persons or property), or timely deliver an SNDA, the Transfer Documents, an estoppel certificate or insurance certificates, for which no additional cure period shall be given to Tenant) cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) or ten (10) business day period, as applicable, and Tenant promptly commences, and thereafter diligently proceeds with same to completion, all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as is reasonably possible, but in no event shall the completion of such cure be later than ninety (90) days after the date on which Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice of such failure, unless Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, otherwise expressly agrees in writing to a longer period of time based upon the circumstances relating to such failure as well as the nature of the failure and the nature of the actions necessary to cure such failure;; or

 

15


18.4. The making of a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant or the filing of an-involuntary petition by any of Tenant’s creditors seeking the rehabilitation, liquidation, or reorganization of Tenant under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors and, in the case of an involuntary action, the failure to remove or discharge the same within sixty (60) days of such filing, the appointment of a receiver or other custodian to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or this leasehold, Tenant’s insolvency or inability to pay Tenant’s debts or failure generally to pay Tenant’s debts when due, any court entering a decree or order directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant or of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, Tenant taking any action toward the dissolution or winding up of Tenant’s affairs, or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or this leasehold.

 

19. REMEDIES FOR TENANTS DEFAULT AND CHRONIC DEFAULT

19.1 Landlord’s Rights: In the event of Tenant’s material default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means in which case upon delivery of written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate on the date specified by Landlord in such notice and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In addition, the Landlord shall have the immediate right of re-entry whether or not this Lease is terminated, and if this right of re-entry is exercised following abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord may consider any of Tenant’s Property and left on the Premises to also have been abandoned. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 19 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. If Landlord terminates the Lease and subsequently relets the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises or any part thereof including, without limitation, broker’s commissions, expenses of cleaning, redecorating, and further improving the Premises and other similar costs (collectively, the “Reletting Costs”). Any and all of the Reletting Costs shall be fully chargeable to Tenant and shall not be prorated or otherwise amortized in relation to any new lease for the Premises or any portion thereof. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. So long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall have the right to remedy any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises, to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlord’s reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of such expenditure. Landlord shall have no security interest or lien on any item of Tenant’s Property.

19.2 Damages Recoverable: If Tenant breaches this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any, and abandons the Premises before the end of the Term, or if Tenant’s right to possession is terminated by Landlord because of a breach or default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure, if any, then in either such case, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, including but not without limitation, the unamortized cost of any Tenant Improvements constructed by or on behalf of Tenant pursuant to Exhibit B hereto to the extent Landlord has paid for such improvements, the unamortized portion of any broker’s or leasing agent’s commission incurred with respect to the leasing of the Premises to Tenant for the balance of the Term of the Lease remaining after the date on which Tenant is in default of its obligations hereunder, and all Reletting Costs, and the worth at the time of the award (computed in accordance with paragraph (3) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code) of the amount by which the Rent then unpaid hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent for the same period which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided by Landlord and in such case, Landlord prior to the award, may relet the Premises for the purpose of mitigating damages suffered by Landlord because of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that even though Tenant has abandoned the Premises following such breach, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right of possession, and until such termination, Landlord shall have the remedy described in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) and may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent from Tenant as it becomes due hereunder. The “worth at the time of the award” within the meaning of Subparagraphs (a)(l) and (a)(2) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder.

19.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative: The foregoing rights and remedies of Landlord are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity by statute or otherwise, or to any equitable remedies Landlord may have, and to any remedies Landlord may have under bankruptcy laws or laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. In addition to all remedies set forth above, if Tenant is in Chronic Default under this Lease at a time set for exercise of an option or at the time that such option would take effect, all options granted to Tenant hereunder shall automatically terminate, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord.

 

16


19.4 Chronic Default: The term “Chronic Default” as used in this Lease shall mean that Tenant is in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond-applicable notice and cure periods, if any, for more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, regardless of whether or not Tenant cures any such default. If Tenant once becomes in Chronic Default, Tenant may become out of Chronic Default if no default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any, occurs in the following twelve (12) month period.

 

20. HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 20 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all Claims resulting from such failure, including but not limited to, any Claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any-lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

 

21. LANDLORDS DEFAULT

Landlord shall not be considered in default of this Lease unless Landlord fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder. For purposes hereof, a reasonable time shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice specifying the nature of the obligation Landlord has not performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than fifteen (15) days, after receipt of written notice, is reasonably necessary for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if performance of such obligation is commenced within such fifteen (15) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

 

22. PARKING

Tenant may use thirty-four (34) of the non-designated and non-exclusive parking spaces located within the Project. In no event shall Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives park or permit any parking of vehicles overnight

 

23. TRANSFER OF LANDLORDS INTEREST

If there is any sale or other transfer of the Premises or any other portion of the Project by Landlord or any of Landlord’s interest therein and the assumption of Landlord’s obligations by such purchaser, Landlord shall automatically be entirely released from all liability under this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of such transfer. A ground lease or similar long term lease by Landlord of the entire Building or Lot, of which the Premises are a part, shall be deemed a sale within the meaning of this Section 23. Tenant agrees to attom to such new owner provided such new owner does not disturb Tenant’s use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in material default of any of the provisions of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any.

 

24. WAIVER

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of either party on any default by the other party shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by Landlord after default by Tenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such default, other than a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved, and shall not prevent Landlord from maintaining an unlawful detainer or other action based on such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent and other sums due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent or other sums due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or other sum or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. No failure, partial exercise or delay on the part of the Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

25. CASUALTY DAMAGE

25.1 Casualty. If the Premises or any part shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by Landlord of such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, (i) whether the necessary repairs can reasonably be made, as

 

17


reasonably determined by Landlord’s architect or contractor; (a) within ninety (90) days; (b) in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days; or (c) in more than one hundred eighty (180) days, from the date of such notice and (ii) if Landlord has the option to repair or terminate, whether Landlord elects to repair the damage or terminate the Lease.

25.1.1 Minor Insured Damage. If the Premises [excluding any of Tenant’s Property, any Tenant Improvements and any Alterations installed by or for the benefit of Tenant (collectively, the “Tenants FF&E”)] are damaged only to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration can be reasonably completed within ninety (90) days, this Lease shall not terminate and, provided that insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord to fully repair the damage and/or Tenant otherwise contributes any shortfall thereof to Landlord, Landlord shall repair the Premises to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the occurrence of such casualty, except Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenant’s FF&E. The Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date of the casualty until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially completed but such abatement shall only be to the extent (i) of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy and only during the time Tenant is not actually using same.

25.1.2 Insured Damage Requiring More Than 90 Days To Repair. If the Premises (other than the Tenant’s FF&E) are damaged only to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration can be reasonably completed, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days, then Landlord shall have the option of (a) terminating the Lease effective upon making the determination of the extent of such damage, in which event the Rent shall be abated from the date of the occurrence of such damage, provided Tenant diligently proceeds to and expeditiously vacates the Premises (but, in all events Tenant must vacate and surrender the Premises Landlord by no later than ten (10) business days thereafter or there shall not be any abatement of Rent until Tenant so vacates the Premises); or (b) electing to repair the Premises to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the occurrence of such casualty, provided insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord and Tenant otherwise contributes any shortfall thereof to Landlord to fully repair the damage (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenants FF&E). The Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date of the casualty until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially completed but such abatement shall only be to the extent (i) of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy and only during the time Tenant is not actually using same. If Landlord fails to substantially complete such repairs within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which Landlord is notified by Tenant of the occurrence of such casualty (such 180-day period to be extended for delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives (“Tenant Delays”) or any force majeure events, which events shall include, but not be limited to, acts or events beyond Landlord’s and/or its contractors’ control, acts of God, earthquakes, strikes lockouts, riots, boycotts, casualties not caused by Landlord or Tenant, discontinuance of any utility or other service required for performance of the work, moratoriums, governmental delays in issuing permits, governmental agencies and weather, and the lack of availability or shortage of materials (“Force Majeure Delays”)), Tenant may within ten (10) business days after expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period (as same may be extended), terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord as Tenant’s exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord

25.1.3 Major Insured Damage. If the Premises (other than the Tenant’s FF&E) are damaged to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration cannot be reasonably completed, as reasonably determined by Landlord, within one hundred eighty (180) days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice within twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord regarding the time period of repair. If either party notifies the other of its intention to so terminate the Lease, then this Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be-abated from the dale of the casualty. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repairs to the Premises, provided insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord to fully repair the damage or Tenant contributes any shortfall thereof to Landlord (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenant’s FF&.E). During the time when Landlord is prosecuting such repairs to substantial completion, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date of the casualty until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially completed but such abatement shall only be to the extent(i) of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy and only during the time Tenant is not actually using same.

25.1.4 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease except for the provisions of Section 25.3 below, if the Premises are substantially damaged or destroyed during the last year of then applicable term of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant may, at their option, cancel and terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party of its election to do so within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of notice from Tenant of the occurrence of such casualty. If either party so elects to terminate this Lease, all rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt or delivery of such notice, as applicable, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord.

25.2 Deductible and Uninsured Casualty. To the extent permissible under Section 6.1, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the deductible amounts under the insurance policies obtained by Landlord (in any event, not to exceed $10,000) if the proceeds of which are used to repair the Premises as contemplated in this Section 25. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if other portions of the Building are also damaged by said casualty and insurance proceeds are payable therefor, then Tenant shall only pay its proportionate share of the deductible (as permitted under Section 6.1) as reasonably determined by Landlord. If any portion of the Premises is damaged and is not fully covered by the aggregate of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and any applicable deductible, and Tenant does not contribute any shortfall thereof to Landlord, or if the holder of any indebtedness

 

18


secured by the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the dale of notice to Tenant of any such event, whereupon all rights and obligations of Tenant shall cease and terminate hereunder, except for those obligations expressly provided for in this Lease to survive such termination of the Lease.

25.3 Tenant’s Fault and Lender’s Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Premises (other than Tenant’s FF&E) or any other portion of the Building be damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives, (1) the Rent shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage and (ii) Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease due to the occurrence of such casualty or damage.

25.4 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, injury to the business of Tenant, loss of use of any part of the Premises by Tenant or loss of Tenant’s Property, resulting in any way from such damage, destruction or the repair thereof; except as specifically provided in the Lease. With respect to any damage or destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair, Tenant hereby waives all rights to terminate this Lease or offset any amounts against Rent pursuant to rights accorded Tenant by any law currently existing or hereafter enacted, including but not limited to, all rights pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1932(2.), 1933(4.), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

 

26. CONDEMNATION

If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold in lieu of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (“Condemned”), then Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date when physical possession of the Premises is taken and title vests in such condemning authority, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. Tenant shall not because of such condemnation assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for any compensation because of such condemnation, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate of interest or other interest of Tenant; provided, however, the foregoing provisions shall not preclude Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, from obtaining any separate award to Tenant for loss of or damage to Tenant’s Property or for damages for cessation or interruption of Tenant’s business provided such award is separate from Landlord’s award and provided further such separate award does not diminish nor otherwise impair the award otherwise payable to Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to seek compensation for the relocation costs recoverable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 7262, loss of business goodwill and the unamortized cost of any improvements made at Tenant’s expense. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, if necessary, promptly proceed to restore the Premises or the Building, as applicable, to substantially its same condition prior to such partial condemnation, allowing for the reasonable effects of such partial condemnation, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant, as solely determined by Landlord, for the Rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is deprived on account of such partial condemnation and restoration. Landlord shall not be required to spend funds for restoration in excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation awarded.

The cost of all such inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne by Tenant, if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant or any of Tenants Representatives are responsible in any manner for any contamination revealed by such inspections, tests and investigations. The aforementioned tights granted herein to Landlord and its representatives shall not create (a) a duty on Landlord’s part to inspect, test, investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives with respect to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, Tenant’s operation, use and any remediation related thereto, or (b) liability on the part of Landlord and its representatives for Tenant’s use, storage, disposal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.

Neither the written consent of Landlord to the presence, use or storage of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about any portion of the Project nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws shall excuse Tenant from its obligations of indemnification pursuant hereto. Tenant shall not be relieved of its indemnification obligations under the provisions of this Section 27.5 due to Landlord’s status as either an “owner” or “operator” under any Environmental Laws.
