ARTICLE II. PREMISES

SECTION 2.1. LEASED PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the premises shown in Exhibit A (the “Premises”), containing approximately the rentable square footage set forth as the “Floor Area” in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Premises consist of all of the rentable square footage within the building identified in Item 1 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the Premises together with such building and the underlying real property, are called the “Building”). The Building is located on the site shown on Exhibit Y (the “Site”). All references to “Floor Area” in this Lease shall mean the rentable square footage set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The rentable square footage set forth in Item 8 may include or have been adjusted by various factors, including, without limitation, a load factor for any vertical penetrations, stairwells or similar features or areas of the Building. Tenant agrees that the Floor Area set forth in Item 8 shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant for purposes of this Lease regardless of whether any future or differing measurements of the Premises or the Building are consistent or inconsistent with the Floor Area set forth in Item 8.

SECTION 2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the Building or the Site (except as expressly provided in this Lease). Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, no representation or warranty has been made with respect to the suitability or fitness for any purposes of the Premises, the Building or the Site, nor regarding the compliance of Tenant’s use of the Premises with the applicable zoning or regarding any other land use matters, and Tenant shall be solely responsible as to such matters. Further, that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has made any representations or warranties regarding (i) what other tenants or uses may be permitted or intended in the Building or the Site, (ii) any exclusivity of use by Tenant with respect to its permitted use of the Premises as set forth in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or (iii) any construction of portions of the Site not yet completed. Tenant further acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has agreed to undertake any alterations or additions or to construct any improvements to the Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease, including for the “Tenant Improvements” to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit X (the “Work Letter”). Tenant further acknowledges that, although Landlord has no actual knowledge of issues respecting the existing flooring materials installed in the Premises, the flooring materials which may be installed within the portions of the Premises located on the ground floor of the Building may be limited by the moisture content of the Building slab and underlying soils. As of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Premises and those portions of the Building and Site in which Tenant has any rights under this Lease, which acceptance shall mean that it is conclusively established that the Premises and those portions of the Building and Site in which Tenant has any rights under this Lease were in satisfactory condition and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease, subject only to (A) those defective or incomplete portions of the Tenant Improvements which Tenant shall have itemized on a written punch list and delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 3.1) and (B) Landlord’s obligations expressly contained in Section 2.4 of this Lease. Nothing contained in this Section shall affect the commencement of the Term or the obligation of Tenant to pay rent. Landlord shall diligently complete all punch list items of which it is notified as provided above.

SECTION 2.3. BUILDING NAME AND ADDRESS. Tenant shall not utilize any name selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or the Site as any part of Tenant’s corporate or trade name. Landlord shall have the right to change the name, address, number or designation of the Building or Site without liability to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant, including, without limitation, Tenant’s costs of obtaining new business cards, stationery and informing Tenant’s customers and vendors of Tenant’s new address, not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) in the aggregate, resulting from any changed name, address, number or designation of the Building or Site initiated by Landlord.

SECTION 2.4. LANDLORD’S RESPONSIBILITIES.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease, during the initial 63-month Term of this Lease (as same may be extended by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.3 below), Landlord agrees to repair and/or replace, at its sole cost and expense and not as a “Site Cost”, all structural walls, foundations, structural elements of the roof of the Building, and underground utility pipes and and/or facilities serving the Building (the “Structural Elements”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation contained in this Section 2.4(a) to bear such costs and expenses shall not apply: (i) to the costs and expenses of periodic maintenance of the Structural Elements, nor (ii) to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees (in which case Tenant shall be responsible for the reasonable costs of such repairs and/or replacements). Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice when Tenant becomes aware of any repairs or replacements required of Landlord pursuant to this Section 2.4(a), and such repairs shall be made promptly following notice from Tenant.

(b) Landlord warrants to Tenant as follows: (i) that the roof, plumbing, fire sprinkler system, lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and electrical systems serving the Premises shall be in good operating condition on the Commencement Date, and (ii) that the Premises shall be delivered to Tenant on the Commencement Date in a vacant and “broom clean” condition. Provided that Tenant shall notify Landlord of any non-compliance with the foregoing warranties contained in subsections (i) and/or (ii) above not later than thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date, then Landlord shall, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify same at Landlord’s sole cost and expense and not as a Site Cost.

 

3


(c) Landlord shall correct, repair and/or replace any non-compliance of the Building, the Tenant Improvements, and/or the Common Areas with all applicable building permits and codes in effect as of the date of the issuance of building permit(s) therefor, including without limitation, the provisions of Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”). Said costs of compliance shall be Landlord’s sole cost and shall not be part of Site Costs; including any costs of bringing to code compliance any portions of the Building, the Tenant Improvements and/or the Common Areas which were in compliance when they were built but are nonetheless required by the applicable governmental entity to be upgraded to current codes, such upgrading requirement, however, not to be triggered as the result of either Alterations by Tenant or by any further revisions or amendments to the codes themselves. Landlord shall correct, repair or replace any non-compliance of the Building, the Tenant Improvements and/or the Common Areas with any further revisions or amendments to applicable building codes (including, without limitation, the ADA) becoming effective after the date of issuance of the applicable building permit(s) therefor, provided that, subject to the first sentence of this Section 2.4(c), the amortized cost of such repairs or replacements (amortized over the useful life thereof in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and using a market cost of funds reasonably determined by Landlord) shall be included as Site Costs payable by Tenant, and provided that any compliance work “triggered” by Landlord’s performance of the Tenant Improvements Work shall be Landlord’s sole cost. All other ADA compliance issues which pertain to the Premises, including without limitation, in connection with Tenant’s construction of any Alterations or other improvements in the Premises (and any resulting ADA compliance requirements in the Common Areas if Landlord shall consent to same as more particularly provided in Section 7.3 of this Lease) and the operation of Tenant’s business and employment practices in the Premises, shall be the responsibility of Tenant at its sole cost and expense. The repairs, corrections or replacements required of Landlord or of Tenant under the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(c) shall be made promptly following notice of non-compliance from any applicable governmental agency.

ARTICLE III. TERM

SECTION 3.1. GENERAL. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 below, the term of this Lease (“Term”) shall commence on the date set forth in Item 4 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the “Commencement Date”), and shall expire on the date set forth in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the Commencement Date shall be extended by that number days that the “Early Occupancy Date” (as defined below) is delayed beyond August 1, 2008 due to the following reasons only: (A) Landlord’s default, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations under the Work Letter, (B) the existence of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises as of the execution of this Lease, (C) the failure of the Premises to comply with applicable building codes, including without limitation the ADA, in effect as of the execution of this Lease, or (D) any casualty or condemnation of the Premises as defined in Articles XI and XII of this Lease, respectively.

SECTION 3.2. DELAY IN POSSESSION. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the “Early Occupancy Date” (as defined below) and/or Commencement Date as set forth in Item 4 of the Basic Lease Provisions, this Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage. However, Tenant shall not be liable for any rent and the Commencement Date shall not occur until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant.

SECTION 3.3. EARLY OCCUPANCY. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 above, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall be permitted to occupy the Premises on that date (the “Early Occupancy Date”) on which all of the following have occurred: the Premises are tendered to Tenant with the tenant improvements to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter (“Tenant Improvements”) substantially completed but for minor “punch list” matters that do not materially interfere with the use of the Premises for Tenant’s regular business operations therein (provided Landlord has then obtained all governmental approvals required for the legal of occupancy for the Premises for the permitted use) (the “substantial completion” of the Tenant Improvements, or the Tenant Improvements “substantially completed” herein), subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease, and prior to any such early occupancy by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the first installment of Basic Rent and Operating Expenses due under the Lease, the Security Deposit set forth in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions and the required certificate(s) of insurance and a completed Environmental Questionnaire (see Exhibit C attached hereto); (b) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part contained in this Lease (including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Sections 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, 7.3, 7.4, 10.1 and 10.3 of the Lease), except for the obligation to pay Basic Rent and Operating Expenses, and (c) Tenant shall contract and pay for all of its electrical utility services during such early occupancy period.

SECTION 3.4. RIGHT TO EXTEND THIS LEASE. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any provision of this Lease, at the time of exercise of the extension right granted herein, and provided further that Tenant has not assigned its interest in this Lease or sublet more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Floor Area of the Premises (in the aggregate), to other than a “Permitted Transferee” (as hereinafter defined), then Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) period of sixty (60) months. Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the Term by and only by delivering to Landlord, not less than nine (9) months or more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the Term, Tenant’s irrevocable written notice of its commitment to extend (the “Commitment Notice”). The Basic Rent payable under the Lease during any extension of the Term shall be determined as provided in the following provisions.

If Landlord and Tenant have not by then been able to agree upon the Basic Rent for the extension of the Term, then within one hundred twenty (120) and ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the Basic Rent that would reflect the prevailing market rental rate for a 60-month

 

4


renewal of comparable space in the Irvine Spectrum (together with any increases thereof during the extension period) as of the commencement of the extension period (“Landlord’s Determination”). Should Tenant disagree with the Landlord’s Determination, then Tenant shall, not later than twenty (20) days thereafter, notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s determination of those rental terms (“Tenant’s Determination”). Within ten (10) days following delivery of the Tenant’s Determination, the parties shall attempt to agree on an appraiser to determine the fair market rental. If the parties are unable to agree in that time, then each party shall designate an appraiser within ten (10) days thereafter. Should either party fail to so designate an appraiser within that time, then the appraiser designated by the other party shall determine the fair market rental. Should each of the parties timely designate an appraiser, then the two appraisers so designated shall appoint a third appraiser who shall, acting alone, determine the fair market rental for the Premises. Any appraiser designated hereunder shall have an MAI certification with not less than five (5) years experience in the valuation of commercial industrial buildings in the vicinity of the Site.

Within thirty (30) days following the selection of the appraiser and such appraiser’s receipt of the Landlord’s Determination and the Tenant’s Determination, the appraiser shall determine whether the rental rate determined by Landlord or by Tenant more accurately reflects the fair market rental rate for the 60-month renewal of the Lease for the Premises, as reasonably extrapolated to the commencement of the extension period. Accordingly, either the Landlord’s Determination or the Tenant’s Determination shall be selected by the appraiser as the fair market rental rate for the extension period. In making such determination, the appraiser shall consider rental comparables for the Irvine Spectrum, including, without limitation, factors for tenant improvement allowances or “free rent” provisions then being granted by landlords for renewals of leases (which factors may equate to a corresponding adjustment to Base Rent), but the appraiser shall not attribute any factor for market tenant improvement allowances or brokerage commissions or any improvements paid for by Tenant in making its determination of the fair market rental rate. At any time before the decision of the appraiser is rendered, either party may, by written notice to the other party, accept the rental terms submitted by the other party, in which event such terms shall be deemed adopted as the agreed fair market rental. The fees of the appraiser(s) shall be borne entirely by the party whose determination of the fair market rental rate was not accepted by the appraiser.

Within twenty (20) days after the determination of the fair market rental, Landlord shall prepare an appropriate amendment to this Lease in commercially reasonable form for the extension period, and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of same. Should the fair market rental not be established by the commencement of the extension period, then Tenant shall continue paying rent at the rate in effect during the last month of the initial Term, and a lump sum adjustment shall be made promptly upon the determination of such new rental.

If Tenant fails to timely exercise the extension right granted herein within the time period expressly set forth for exercise by Tenant in the initial paragraph of this Section 3.4, Tenant’s right to extend the Term shall be extinguished and the Lease shall automatically terminate as of the expiration date of the Term, without any extension and without any liability to Landlord. Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.4 shall belong solely to SenoRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and any attempted assignment or transfer of such rights other than to a “Permitted Transferee” shall be void and of no force and effect. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the single sixty (60) month extension period created by this Section 3.4. Unless agreed to in a writing signed by Landlord and Tenant, any extension of the Term, whether created by an amendment to this Lease or by a holdover of the Premises by Tenant, or otherwise, shall be deemed a part of, and not in addition to, any duly exercised extension period permitted by this Section 3.4.

ARTICLE IV. RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES

SECTION 4.1. BASIC RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord without deduction or offset, the rental amount for the Premises shown in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the “Basic Rent”), including subsequent adjustments, if any. If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of the calendar month, any rental adjustments shown in Item 6 occurring with reference to the monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date, shall be deemed to occur on the first day of the next calendar month following the specified monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date. The rent shall be due and payable in advance commencing on the Commencement Date (as prorated for any partial month) and continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive calendar month of the Term. No demand, notice or invoice shall be required for the payment of Basic Rent. An installment of rent in the amount of one (1) full month’s Basic Rent at the initial rate specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions and one (1) month’s estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 4.2) shall be delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease and shall be applied against the Basic Rent and Operating Expenses first due hereunder.

SECTION 4.2. OPERATING EXPENSES.

(a) From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses, as defined in Section 4.2(f), incurred by Landlord in the operation of the Building and the Site. The term “Tenant’s Share” means one hundred percent (100%) of any Operating Expenses reasonably determined by Landlord to benefit or relate substantially to the Building and/or the Site, plus an allocated portion of any Operating Expenses, as reasonably determined from time to time by Landlord, which benefit or relate both to the Building or the Site and to other projects owned by Landlord and/or its affiliates. In the event that any management and/or overhead fee payable or imposed by Landlord for the management of Tenant’s Premises is calculated as a percentage of the rent payable by Tenant, then the full amount of such management and/or overhead

 

5


fee which is attributable to the rent paid by Tenant shall be additional rent payable by Tenant, in full, provided, however, that Landlord may elect to include such full amount as part of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses.

(b) Prior to the start of each full Expense Recovery Period (as defined in this Section 4.2), Landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate of the amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period. Any delay or failure by Landlord in providing such estimate shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or estimated amounts thereof, if and when Landlord provides such estimate or final payment amount. Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance concurrently with payments of Basic Rent. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in effect during the prior Expense Recovery Period; provided that when the new estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses based upon the new estimate. For purposes hereof, “Expense Recovery Period” shall mean every twelve month period during the Term (or portion thereof for the first and last lease years) commencing July 1 and ending June 30, provided that Landlord shall have the right to change the date on which an Expense Recovery Period commences in which event appropriate reasonable adjustments shall be made to Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses so that the amount payable by Tenant shall not materially vary as a result of such change.

(c) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (a “Reconciliation Statement”) showing in reasonable detail the actual or prorated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during such Expense Recovery Period, and the parties shall within thirty (30) days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s estimated payments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, if any, to the actual Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses as shown by the Reconciliation Statement. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Reconciliation Statement shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to require Tenant to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses pursuant hereto. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments of Basic Rent and Operating Expenses next coming due, and any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant together with the next installment of Basic Rent. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or fail to give written notice of its intent to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses pursuant to the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph within one hundred eighty (180) days following delivery of Landlord’s Reconciliation Statement, Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and binding on the parties for all purposes and any future claims to the contrary shall be barred.

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall have the right to cause a certified public accountant, engaged on a non-contingency fee basis, to audit Operating Expenses by inspecting Landlord’s general ledger of expenses not more than once during any Expense Recovery Period. However, to the extent that insurance premiums or any other component of Operating Expenses is determined by Landlord on the basis of an internal allocation of costs utilizing information Landlord in good faith deems proprietary, such expense component shall not be subject to audit so long as it does not exceed the amount per square foot typically imposed by landlords of other first class business parks in Orange County, California. Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to audit within one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s expense statement which sets forth Tenant’s Share of Landlord’s actual Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time during normal business hours at the office of Landlord or its management agent where such accounts are maintained. If Tenant’s audit determines that actual Operating Expenses have been overstated by more than five percent (5%), then subject to Landlord’s right to review and/or contest the audit results, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such audit. Tenant’s rent shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any overstatement in Operating Expenses. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding such audit, such dispute shall be submitted and resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 22.8 below. All of the information obtained by Tenant and/or its auditor in connection with such audit, as well as any compromise, settlement, or adjustment reached between Landlord and Tenant as a result thereof, shall be held in strict confidence and, except as may be required pursuant to litigation, shall not be disclosed to any third party, directly or indirectly, by Tenant or its auditor or any of their officers, agents or employees. Landlord may require Tenant’s auditor to execute a separate confidentiality agreement affirming the foregoing as a condition precedent to any audit. In the event of a violation of this confidentiality covenant in connection with any audit, then in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy available to Landlord, Tenant shall forfeit its right to any reconciliation or cost reimbursement payment from Landlord due to said audit (and any such payment theretofore made by Landlord shall be promptly returned by Tenant), and Tenant shall have no further audit rights under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right of audit with respect to any Expense Recovery Period unless the total Operating Expenses per square foot for such Expense Recovery Period, as set forth in Landlord’s annual expense reconciliation, exceed the total Operating Expenses per square foot during the initial Expense Recovery Period during the Term, as increased by the percentage change in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, San Francisco – Oakland – San Jose Area Average, all items (1982-84 = 100) (the “Index”), which change in the Index shall be measured by comparing the Index published for January of the initial Expense Recovery Period during the Term with the Index published for January of the applicable Expense Recovery Period.

(d) Even though this Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days of written notice pay the entire increase over the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses already paid. Conversely, any overpayment by Tenant shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant not later than thirty (30) days after such final determination.

(e) If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s) in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the year, then the estimate of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses may be increased by written notice from Landlord for the month in which such rate(s) or amount(s) becomes effective and for all succeeding months by an amount equal to the estimated amount of Tenant’s Share of the increase. If Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount of the increase and the month in which the increase will or has become effective, then Tenant shall pay the increase to Landlord as a part of Tenant’s monthly payments of the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses as provided in Section 4.2(b), commencing with the month following delivery of Landlord’s notice. In addition, Tenant shall pay upon written request any such increases which were incurred prior to the Tenant commencing to pay such monthly increase.

(f) The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean and include all Site Costs, as defined in subsection (g), and Property Taxes, as defined in subsection (h).

(g) The term “Site Costs” shall mean all expenses of operation, management, repair, replacement and maintenance of the Building and the Site, including without limitation all appurtenant Common Areas (as defined in Section 6.2), and shall include the following charges by way of illustration but not limitation: water and sewer charges; insurance premiums and deductibles and/or reasonable premium and deductible equivalents should Landlord elect to self-insure all or any portion of any risk that Landlord is authorized to insure hereunder (provided, however, that Tenant’s Share of any such deductible or deductible equivalent shall not exceed the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per occurrence for any casualty); license, permit, and inspection fees (but excluding business management and/or broker licenses); light; power; window washing; trash pickup; heating, ventilating and air conditioning; supplies; materials; equipment; tools; the cost of any insurance, tax or other consultant utilized by Landlord in connection with the Building and/or Site; establishment of reasonable reserves for replacements and/or repairs (provided, however, that Landlord shall first exhaust such reserves in performing such replacement or repair work and Landlord shall only be entitled to include, as a Site Cost, only the amount by which the cost to perform such work exceeds the existing reserve as amortized pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof); costs incurred in connection with compliance with any laws or changes in laws becoming effective after the Commencement Date applicable to the Building or the Site (provided that, except for laws or changes in laws that pertain particularly to Tenant or to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises (which shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant at its cost), to the extent such laws or change in laws require expenditures of a “capital” nature (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied), then such “capital” expenditure shall be amortized (using a market cost of funds as reasonably determined by Landlord) over the useful life of such asset and only the amortized cost thereof shall be includable in Site Costs during the remaining Term of the Lease); the cost of any capital expenditures or replacements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (other than tenant improvements for specific tenants) to the extent of the amortized amount thereof over the useful life of such capital expenditures or replacements (or, if such capital expenditures are anticipated to achieve a cost savings as to the Operating Expenses, any shorter estimated period of time over which the cost of the capital expenditures would be recovered from the estimated cost savings) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, calculated at a market cost of funds, all as reasonably determined by Landlord, for each year of useful life or shorter recovery period of such capital expenditure whether such capital expenditure occurs prior to or during the Term (provided, however, that Project Costs for capital expenditures which have occurred prior to the Commencement Date, exclusive of roof reserves, shall not exceed the annualized amount of Eleven Thousand Twelve Dollars ($11,012.00), that is, the annualized amount of the amortization component of Project Costs for the Expense Recovery Period ended June 30, 2008); costs associated with the maintenance of an air conditioning, heating and ventilation service agreement; labor; reasonably allocated wages and salaries, fringe benefits, and payroll taxes for administrative and other personnel directly applicable to the Building and/or Site, including both Landlord’s personnel and outside personnel; any expense incurred pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.2, and 10.2; and a market competitive overhead and/or management fees for the professional operation of the Building and the Site. It is understood and agreed that Site Costs may include competitive charges for direct services (including, without limitation, management and/or operations services) provided by any subsidiary, division or affiliate of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, “Site Costs” shall not include and Tenant shall in no event have any obligation to perform or to pay directly, or to reimburse Landlord for, all or any portion of the following repairs, maintenance, improvements, replacements, premiums, claims, losses, fees, charges, costs and expenses (collectively, “Costs”): (i) Costs occasioned by the breach by Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) Costs of any renovation, improvements, painting or redecorating of any leasable space within the Site not made available for Tenant’s use; (iii) Costs incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with any other occupant of the Site; (iv) Costs incurred in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Material, except to the extent Tenant is responsible therefor pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Lease; (v) interest, charges and fees incurred on debt incurred by Landlord; (vi) Costs occasioned by casualties or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain (as described in Sections 11.1(a) and 12.1 of this Lease, respectively); (viii) Costs for which Landlord is responsible as expressly provided in Section 2.4 of this Lease (or elsewhere in this Lease, where such condition is set forth as Landlord’s “sole cost and expense”); (ix) Costs which could properly be capitalized under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, except to the extent amortized over the useful life of the item in question as set forth above and (x) Costs occasioned by the violation of any law by Landlord, its authorized agents, employees or contractors.

(h) The term “Property Taxes” as used herein shall include any form of federal, state, county or local government or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind (whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary) related to the ownership, leasing or operation of the Premises, Building or Site, including without limitation, the following: (i) all real estate taxes or personal property taxes levied against the Premises, the Building or Site, as such property taxes may be reassessed from time to time; and (ii) other taxes, charges and assessments which are levied with respect to this Lease or to the Building and/or the Site, and any improvements, fixtures and

 

7


equipment and other property of Landlord located in the Building and/or the Site, (iii) all assessments and fees for public improvements, services, and facilities and impacts thereon, including without limitation arising out of any Community Facilities Districts, “Mello Roos” districts, similar assessment districts, and any traffic impact mitigation assessments or fees; (iv) any tax, surcharge or assessment which shall be levied in addition to or in lieu of real estate or personal property taxes, other than taxes covered by Article VIII; and (v) taxes based on the receipt of rent (including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent), and (vi) costs and expenses incurred in contesting the amount or validity of any Property Tax by appropriate proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, general net income or franchise taxes imposed against Landlord shall be excluded, and “Property Taxes” shall not include and Tenant shall not be required to pay any portion of any tax or assessment expense or any increase therein (i) in excess of the amount which would be payable if such tax or assessment expense were paid in installments over the longest permitted term; (ii) imposed on land and improvements other than the Building or the Site; or (iii) attributable to Landlord’s inheritance, gift or estate taxes.

SECTION 4.3. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum, if any, stated in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions, to be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (the “Security Deposit”). Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Subject to the last sentence of this Section, the Security Deposit shall be understood and agreed to be the property of Landlord upon Landlord’s receipt thereof, and may be utilized by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion towards the payment of all expenses by Landlord for which Tenant would be required to reimburse Landlord under this Lease, including without limitation brokerage commissions and Tenant Improvement costs. Upon any Event of Default by Tenant (as defined in Section 14.1), Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision of Civil Code Section 1950.7, retain, use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to pay any sum which Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease including, without limitation, amounts estimated by Landlord as the amounts due it for prospective rent and for damages pursuant to Section 14.2(a)(i) of this Lease and/or Civil Code Section 1951.2, sums that Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of the Event of Default by Tenant or any loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of the Event of Default or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the repair or restoration of the Premises pursuant to Section 15.3 of this Lease upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to apply the Security Deposit upon an Event of Default and Landlord’s rights and remedies resulting from an Event of Default, including without limitation, Tenant’s failure to pay Basic Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or any other amount due to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, shall not be diminished or altered in any respect due to the fact that Landlord is holding the Security Deposit. If any portion of the Security Deposit is applied by Landlord as permitted by this Section, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant fully performs its obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease) within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term.

SECTION 4.4. LETTER OF CREDIT. In addition to the Security Deposit and as security hereunder, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of One Hundred Fourteen Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-Six Dollars ($114,686.00) (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall be in form and with the substance of EXHIBIT F attached hereto (or otherwise acceptable to Landlord), and shall be issued by a financial institution acceptable to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall be maintained in full force and effect through that date which is thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date of the Term of this Lease (including any extensions of the Term as provided in this Lease). In the event the Letter of Credit is not renewed by the issuing financial institution (or in the event that Tenant shall not deliver a replacement Letter of Credit from another financial institution acceptable to Landlord) on or before thirty (30) days prior to the then-scheduled expiration date of the Letter of Credit, then Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of such Letter of Credit and to hold such amount as part of the Security Deposit pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Lease. Upon any “Event of Default” by Tenant (as hereinafter defined), Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon said Letter of Credit by the issuance of Landlord’s sole written demand to the issuing financial institution, which draw shall be in an amount necessary to pay any sum which Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease notwithstanding any contrary provision of Civil Code Section 1950.7, including, without limitation, amounts estimated by Landlord as the amounts due for prospective rent and for damages pursuant to Section 14.2(a)(i) of this Lease and/or Civil Code Section 1951.2, sums that Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of the Event of Default by Tenant or any loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of the Event of Default, or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the repair or restoration of the Premises pursuant to Section 15.3 of this Lease upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall only draw upon the Letter of Credit following an Event of Default and only to the extent required to cure the Event of Default, but if the amount of such draw cannot be readily determined by Landlord, then the full amount of the Letter of Credit may be drawn by Landlord pending determination of said amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while the amount of any such draw shall be solely determined by Landlord as provided in the foregoing, if the amount of any such draw(s) shall ultimately exceed the amount of damages actually incurred by Landlord as the result of Tenant’s default (as determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article XIV of this Lease), then Landlord shall promptly refund any such excess to Tenant. Any such draw shall be without waiver or any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the default, as a setoff for full or partial compensation for the default. If any portion of the Letter of Credit is drawn after a default by Tenant, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord restore the Letter of Credit. Failure to so restore said Letter of Credit within said five (5) days shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease. Partial drawings upon said Letter of Credit shall be permitted. In the event that Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit solely due to Tenant’s failure to renew the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days before its expiration (i) such failure to renew shall not constitute a default hereunder and (ii) Tenant shall at any time thereafter be entitled to provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit that satisfies

 

8


the requirements hereunder, at which time Landlord shall return the cash proceeds of the original Letter of Credit drawn by Landlord.

Provided that: (a) no Event of Default has occurred at any time during the Term of this Lease and (b) Tenant shall demonstrate by the delivery to Landlord of its audited financial statements (prepared by a nationally-recognized accounting firm) that Tenant has achieved positive net income (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) for any of Tenant’s fiscal years commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 then, upon written request of Tenant, Landlord shall authorize a reduction to the principal amount of the Letter of Credit in the amount of Fifty Seven Thousand Three Hundred Eighty-Three Dollars ($57,383.00); and if Tenant satisfies the condition described in Subsection (a) above and shall demonstrate by the delivery of its audited financial statement (described in Subsection (b) above) that Tenant has again achieved positive net income (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) for any subsequent fiscal year during the Term then, upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall authorize a full exoneration and release of the Letter of Credit.

ARTICLE V. USES

SECTION 5.1. USE. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the purposes stated in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions, all in accordance with applicable laws and restrictions and pursuant to approvals to be obtained by Tenant from all relevant and required governmental agencies and authorities. The parties agree that any contrary use shall be deemed to cause material and irreparable harm to Landlord and shall entitle Landlord to injunctive relief in addition to any other available remedy. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure, maintain and make available for Landlord’s inspection throughout the Term, all governmental approvals, licenses and permits required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises. Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant permit any nuisance or commit any waste in the Premises or the Site. Tenant shall not perform any work or conduct any business whatsoever in the Site other than inside the Premises. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any insurance policy(ies) covering the Building, the Site and/or their contents unless Tenant pays for such increase, and shall comply with all applicable insurance underwriters rules. Tenant shall comply at its expense with all present and future laws, ordinances, restrictions, regulations, orders, rules and requirements of all governmental authorities that pertain to Tenant or its use of the Premises, including without limitation all federal and state occupational health and safety requirements, whether or not Tenant’s compliance will necessitate expenditures or interfere with its use and enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant shall comply at its expense with all existing covenants, conditions, easements or restrictions now or hereafter affecting or encumbering the Building and/or Site, including without limitation the payment by Tenant of any periodic or special dues or assessments charged against the Premises or Tenant which may be allocated to the Premises or Tenant in accordance with the provisions thereof. Tenant shall also comply at its expense with any future amendments or modifications to such existing covenants, conditions, easements or reservations, and with any future covenants, conditions, easements or restrictions hereafter affecting or encumbering the Building and/or the Site, provided same do not materially impair Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional insurance premium charged by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section, and shall indemnify Landlord from any liability and/or expense resulting from Tenant’s noncompliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1, in the event Tenant’s obligation for compliance with all future and present laws, ordinances, restrictions, regulations, orders, rules and requirements of all governmental authorities, and with all present and future covenants, conditions, easements or restrictions now or hereafter affecting or encumbering the Building and/or the Site, results in a “capital” expenditure (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) on Tenant’s part (or Tenant’s being obligated to reimburse Landlord for a “capital” expenditure), Tenant shall only be responsible for the amortized cost of such “capital” expenditure (amortized at a market cost of funds as reasonably determined by Landlord) over the useful life of said improvement during the Term, except in the event each obligation for capital expenditure is required due to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises (in which case Tenant shall be fully responsible for the entire cost of such “capital” expenditure).

SECTION 5.2. SIGNS. Provided Tenant or any Permitted Transferee continues to lease the entire Building: (i) Tenant shall have the exclusive right to one (1) exterior top of Building sign on the side of the Building facing Morgan, for Tenant’s name and/or graphics, subject to Landlord’s right of prior approval that such exterior signage is in compliance with the Signage Criteria (defined below), and (ii) Landlord will not place or authorize to be placed any other signs on or about the Site, other than directional signs in the Common Areas, without the prior written consent of Tenant. Except as provided in the foregoing, and for signage within the lobby of the Premises which shall be subject to Landlord’s prior right of approval of the specifications therefor, and for Landlord’s standard suite signage identifying Tenant’s name and/or logo and installed at a location designated by Landlord, Tenant shall have no right to maintain signs in any location in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Site and shall not place or erect any signs that are visible from the exterior of the Building. The size, design, graphics, material, style, color and other physical aspects of any permitted sign shall be subject to Landlord’s written determination, as determined solely by Landlord, prior to installation, that signage is in compliance with any covenants, conditions or restrictions encumbering the Premises and Landlord’s signage program for the Site, as in effect from time to time and approved by the City in which the Premises are located (“Signage Criteria”). Prior to placing or erecting any such signs, Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord a copy of any applicable municipal or other governmental permits and approvals and comply with any applicable insurance requirements for such signage. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of any permitted sign, including, without limitation, the fabrication, installation, maintenance and removal thereof and the cost of any permits therefor. If Tenant fails to maintain its sign in good condition, or if Tenant fails to remove same upon termination of this Lease and repair and restore any damage caused by the sign or its removal, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense. Landlord shall have the right to temporarily remove any signs in connection with any repairs or maintenance in or upon the Building. The term

 

9


“sign” as used in this Section shall include all signs, designs, monuments, displays, advertising materials, logos, banners, projected images, pennants, decals, pictures, notices, lettering, numerals or graphics.

SECTION 5.3. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

(a) For purposes of this Lease, the term “Hazardous Materials” means (i) any “hazardous material” as defined in Section 25501(o) of the California Health and Safety Code, (ii) hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls or asbestos, (iii) any toxic or hazardous materials, substances, wastes or materials as defined pursuant to any other applicable state, federal or local law or regulation, and (iv) any other substance or matter which may result in liability to any person or entity as a result of such person’s possession, use, storage, release or distribution of such substance or matter under any statutory or common law theory.

(b) Tenant shall not cause or knowingly permit its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees to bring upon, store, use, generate, release or dispose of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises (including without limitation the soil and groundwater thereunder) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining prior written consent of Landlord, to utilize within the Premises a reasonable quantity of standard office products that may contain Hazardous Materials (such as photocopy toner, “White Out”, and the like), provided however, that (i) Tenant shall maintain such products in their original retail packaging, shall follow all instructions on such packaging with respect to the storage, use and disposal of such products, and shall otherwise comply with all applicable laws with respect to such products, and (ii) all of the other terms and provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply with respect to Tenant’s storage, use and disposal of all such products. Additionally, Tenant shall be permitted to use such Hazardous Materials in such quantities and in such manner as described in the Environmental Questionnaire (defined below). Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, place such conditions as Landlord deems appropriate with respect to Tenant’s use, storage and/or disposal of any other Hazardous Materials requiring Landlord’s consent. Tenant understands that Landlord may utilize an environmental consultant to assist in determining conditions of approval in connection with the storage, use, release, and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant on or about the Premises, and/or to conduct periodic inspections of the storage, generation, use, release and/or disposal of such Hazardous Materials by Tenant on and from the Premises, and, in the event any violations of this Section 5.3 are found, then Tenant agrees that any costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder upon demand.

(c) Prior to the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall complete, execute and deliver to Landlord an Environmental Questionnaire and Disclosure Statement (the “Environmental Questionnaire”) in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. The completed Environmental Questionnaire shall be deemed incorporated into this Lease for all purposes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely fully on the information contained therein. On each anniversary of the Commencement Date until the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials which were stored, generated, used, released and/or disposed of on, under or about the Premises by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees for the twelve-month period prior thereto, and which Tenant desires to store, generate, use, release and/or dispose of on, under or about the Premises for the succeeding twelve-month period. In addition, to the extent Tenant is permitted to utilize Hazardous Materials upon the Premises, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with complete and legible copies of all the following environmental documents relating thereto: reports filed pursuant to any self-reporting requirements; permit applications, permits, monitoring reports, emergency response or action plans, workplace exposure and community exposure warnings or notices and all other reports, disclosures, plans or documents (even those which may be characterized as confidential) relating to water discharges, air pollution, waste generation or disposal, and underground storage tanks for Hazardous Materials; orders, reports, notices, listings and correspondence (even those which may be considered confidential) of or concerning the release, investigation, compliance, cleanup, remedial and corrective actions, and abatement of Hazardous Materials; and all complaints, pleadings and other legal documents filed by or against Tenant related to Tenant’s storage, generation, use, release and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials.

(d) Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect, sample and/or monitor the Premises and/or the soil or groundwater thereunder at any time to determine whether Tenant is complying with the terms of this Section 5.3, and in connection therewith Tenant shall provide Landlord with full access to all facilities, records and personnel related thereto. If Tenant is not in compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 5.3, or in the event of a release of any Hazardous Material on, under, from or about the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the obligation, without limitation upon any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease, to immediately enter upon the Premises without notice and to discharge Tenant’s obligations under this Section 5.3 at Tenant’s expense, including without limitation the taking of emergency or long-term remedial action. Landlord and its agents shall endeavor to minimize interference with Tenant’s business in connection therewith, but shall not be liable for any such interference. In addition, Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to join and participate in any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any claims arising out of the storage, generation, use, release and/or disposal by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees of Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises.

(e) If the storage, use, generation, release or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises or the Site caused or knowingly permitted by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees results in (i) injury to any person, (ii) injury to or any contamination of the Premises or the Site, or (iii) injury to or contamination of any real or personal property wherever situated, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly take all actions necessary to return the Premises and the Site and any other affected real or personal

 

10


property owned by Landlord to the condition existing prior to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials and to remedy or repair any such injury or contamination, including without limitation, any cleanup, remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of any such Hazardous Materials as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises or the Site or any other affected real or personal property owned by Landlord or enter into any similar agreement, consent, decree or other compromise with any governmental agency with respect to any Hazardous Materials claims; provided however, Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises or the Site or any other affected real or personal property owned by Landlord (i) imposes an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual and (ii) is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not possible to obtain Landlord’s consent before taking such action. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend (with attorneys reasonably acceptable to Landlord) Landlord and any successors to all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Premises and the Site and any other real or personal property owned by Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, diminution in value, judgments, fines, demands, claims, recoveries, deficiencies, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other professional expenses), whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, arising directly or indirectly out of the use, generation, storage, treatment, release, on- or off-site disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials on, into, from, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Site and any other real or personal property owned by Landlord knowingly caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. Such indemnity obligation shall specifically include, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair, restoration, cleanup or detoxification of the Premises, the Building and the Site and any other real or personal property owned by Landlord, the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary during the Term or after the expiration of this Lease and any loss of rental due to the inability to lease the Premises or any portion of the Building or Site as a result of such Hazardous Materials, the remediation thereof or any repair, restoration or cleanup related thereto. If it is at any time discovered that Tenant may have knowingly permitted its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees to release a Hazardous Material on, under, from or about the Premises, the Building or the Site or any other real or personal property owned by Landlord, or caused such a release, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, immediately prepare and submit to Landlord a comprehensive plan, subject to Landlord’s approval, specifying the actions to be taken by Tenant to return the Premises, the Building or the Site or any other real or personal property owned by Landlord to the condition existing prior to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials. Upon Landlord’s approval of such plan, Tenant shall, at its expense, and without limitation of any rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity, immediately implement such plan and proceed to cleanup, remediate and/or remove all such Hazardous Materials in accordance with all applicable laws and as required by such plan and this Lease. The provisions of this Section 5.3(e) shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(f) Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, certain facts relating to Hazardous Materials at the Site known by Landlord to exist as of the date of this Lease, as more particularly described in Exhibit C attached hereto. Tenant shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to the Hazardous Materials facts described in Exhibit C, nor with respect to any Hazardous Materials which Tenant proves were neither released on the Premises during the Term nor caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, Tenant agrees to notify its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, and invitees of any exposure or potential exposure to Hazardous Materials at the Premises that Landlord brings to Tenant’s attention. Tenant hereby acknowledges that this disclosure satisfies any obligation of Landlord to Tenant pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 25359.7, or any amendment or substitute thereto or any other disclosure obligations of Landlord. Landlord shall take responsibility, at its sole cost and expense and not as a Site Cost, for any governmentally-ordered clean-up, remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of Hazardous Materials conditions described in this Section 5.3(f). The foregoing obligation on the part of Landlord shall include the reasonable costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) of defending Tenant (with attorneys reasonably acceptable to Tenant) from and against any legal action or proceeding instituted by any governmental agency in connection with such clean-up, remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of such conditions, provided that Tenant promptly tenders such defense to Landlord.

(g) In the event of any foreclosure of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Building and/or the Site, the obligations on the part of Landlord contained in Section 5.3(f) above shall be personal to Landlord and shall not be binding on nor inure against any lender acquiring the Building and/or the Site by foreclosure of its mortgage or deed of trust or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or any successor in interest to such lender

(h) Except as disclosed in Section 5.3(f) above (and/or as may otherwise be disclosed to Tenant in writing), Landlord represents that to “Landlord’s knowledge” (as hereinafter defined), there are no Hazardous Materials in or about the Site which are in violation of any applicable federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation. As used herein, “Landlord’s knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge, without duty of inquiry or investigation, of the current employees or authorized agents of Landlord responsible for Hazardous Materials compliance matters.

ARTICLE VI. COMMON AREAS; SERVICES

SECTION 6.1. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay promptly, directly to the appropriate supplier, all charges for water, gas, electricity, sewer, heat, light, power, telephone,

 

11


telecommunications service, refuse pickup, janitorial service, interior landscape maintenance and all other utilities, materials and services furnished directly to Tenant or the Premises or used by Tenant in, on or about the Premises during the Term, together with any taxes thereon. If any utilities or services are not separately metered or assessed to Tenant, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of Tenant’s proportionate share of the cost of such utilities and services, and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord, as an item of additional rent, within ten (10) days after delivery of Landlord’s statement or invoice therefor. Alternatively, Landlord may elect to include such cost in the definition of Site Costs in which event Tenant shall pay Tenant’s proportionate share of such costs in the manner set forth in Section 4.2. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as an item of additional rent, within ten (10) days after delivery of Landlord’s statement or invoice therefor, Landlord’s “standard charges” (as hereinafter defined, which shall be in addition to the electricity charge paid to the utility provider) for “after hours” usage by Tenant of each HVAC unit servicing the Premises. “After hours” shall mean more than three thousand six hundred forty (3,640) hours of usage during each calendar year during the Term (as such hourly amount shall be prorated for any partial calendar year of the Term). “After hours” usage shall be determined based upon the operation of the applicable HVAC unit during each calendar year (or partial calendar year) of the Term on a “non-cumulative” basis (that is, without regard to Tenant’s usage or nonusage of other unit(s) serving the Premises, or of the applicable unit during other years during the Term). As used herein, “standard charges” shall mean the following charges for each hour of “after hours” use (in addition to the applicable electricity charges paid to the utility provider) of the following described HVAC units: (i) $1.00 per hour for 1-4 ton HVAC units, (ii) $5.00 per hour for 5-9 ton HVAC units and (iii) $10.00 per hour for HVAC units of greater than 10 tons. Landlord shall not be liable for damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility or other service furnished to the Premises, and no such failure or interruption shall be deemed an eviction or entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or withhold or abate any rent due hereunder. Landlord shall at all reasonable times have free access to the Building and Premises to install, maintain, repair, replace or remove all electrical and mechanical installations of Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that the costs incurred by Landlord related to providing above-standard utilities and services to Tenant, including, without limitation, telephone lines, may be charged to Tenant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of the direct actions of Landlord, its employees, contractors or authorized agents, for more than three (3) consecutive business days following written notice to Landlord there is no HVAC or electricity services to all or a portion of the Premises, or such an interruption of other essential utilities and building services, such as fire protection or water, so that all or a portion of the Premises cannot be used by Tenant, then Tenant’s Basic Rent (or an equitable portion of such Basic Rent to the extent that less than all of the Premises are affected) shall thereafter be abated until the Premises are again usable by Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord is diligently pursuing the repair of such utilities or services and Landlord provides substitute services reasonably suitable for Tenant’s purposes, as for example, bringing in portable air-conditioning equipment, then there shall not be an abatement of Basic Rent. The foregoing provisions shall be Tenant’s sole recourse and remedy in the event of such an interruption of services, and shall not apply in case of the actions of parties other than Landlord, its employees, contractors or authorized agents, or in the case of damage to, or destruction of, the Premises (which shall be governed by the provisions of Article XI of the Lease). Any disputes concerning the foregoing provisions shall be submitted to and resolved by JAMS arbitration pursuant to Section 22.8 of this Lease.

SECTION 6.2. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS. During the Term, Landlord shall operate and maintain all Common Areas within the Site in a comparable condition to that existing as of the Commencement Date as Landlord may determine to be appropriate. All costs incurred by Landlord for the maintenance and operation of the Common Areas shall be included in Site Costs (to the extent properly included therein). The term “Common Areas” shall mean all areas of the Site which are not held for exclusive use by persons entitled to occupy space including Tenant, and their respective employees and invitees, including without limitation parking areas and structures, driveways, sidewalks, landscaped and planted areas, and common electrical and utility rooms and roof access entries, if any, in the Building.

SECTION 6.3. USE OF COMMON AREAS. The occupancy by Tenant of the Premises shall include the use of the Common Areas as provided in this Article VI, subject, however, to compliance with all rules and regulations as are prescribed from time to time by Landlord. Landlord shall at all times during the Term have exclusive control of the Common Areas, and may restrain or permit any use or occupancy, except as authorized by Landlord’s rules and regulations. Tenant shall keep the Common Areas clear of any obstruction or unauthorized use related to Tenant’s operations or use of Premises, including without limitation, planters and furniture. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to impose liability upon Landlord for any damage to or loss of the property of, or for any injury to, Tenant, its invitees or employees. Landlord may temporarily close any portion of the Common Areas for repairs, remodeling and/or alterations, to prevent a public dedication or the accrual of prescriptive rights, or for any other reason deemed sufficient by Landlord, without liability to Tenant. Landlord’s temporary closure of any portion of the Common Areas for such purposes shall not deprive Tenant of reasonable access to the Premises.

SECTION 6.4. PARKING. Tenant shall be entitled to use its allocated share of the vehicle parking spaces on those portions of the Common Areas designated by Landlord for parking on an unreserved and unassigned basis. For purposes of this Section 6.4 Tenant’s allocated share shall mean vehicle parking spaces equal to the same portion of all vehicle parking spaces available for the Site as the ratio of Floor Area to the total rentable square footage of the Site. Tenant shall not use more than its allocated share of vehicle parking spaces. All parking spaces shall be used only for parking of vehicles no larger than full size passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles or pickup trucks. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described above, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that Landlord may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the costs to Tenant. Parking within the Common Areas shall be limited to striped parking stalls, and no parking shall be permitted in any driveways, access ways or

 

12


in any area which would prohibit or impede the free flow of traffic within the Common Areas. There shall be no parking of any vehicles for longer than a forty-eight (48) hour period unless otherwise authorized by Landlord, and vehicles which have been abandoned or parked in violation of the terms hereof may be towed away at the owner’s expense. Landlord shall have the right to establish, and from time to time amend, and to enforce against all users all reasonable rules and regulations (including the designation of areas for employee parking) that Landlord may deem necessary and advisable for the proper and efficient operation and maintenance of parking within the Common Areas. Landlord shall have the right to construct, maintain and operate lighting facilities within the parking areas; to change the area, level, location and arrangement of the parking areas and improvements therein; to restrict parking by tenants, their officers, agents and employees to employee parking areas; after the expiration of the initial sixty-three (63) month Term of this Lease, to enforce parking charges (by operation of meters or otherwise, provided Landlord is then generally enforcing parking charges throughout its technology building portfolio); and to do and perform such other acts in and to the parking areas and improvements therein as, in the use of good business judgment, Landlord shall determine to be advisable. Any person using the parking area shall observe all directional signs and arrows and any posted speed limits. Parking areas shall be used only for parking vehicles. Washing, waxing, cleaning or servicing of vehicles, or the storage of vehicles for longer than 48-hours, is prohibited unless otherwise authorized by Landlord. Tenant shall be liable for any damage to the parking areas caused by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees, including without limitation damage from excess oil leakage. Tenant shall have no right to install any fixtures, equipment or personal property in the parking areas.

SECTION 6.5. CHANGES AND ADDITIONS BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the right to make alterations or additions to the Building or the Site, or to the attendant fixtures, equipment and Common Areas. Landlord may at any time relocate or remove any of the driveways, sidewalks, landscaped and planted areas and parking areas of the Common Areas, from time to time. No change shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or other claim against Landlord. No such change shall deprive Tenant of reasonable access to or use of the Premises or reduce the number of parking spaces granted under this Lease.

ARTICLE VII. MAINTAINING THE PREMISES

SECTION 7.1. TENANT’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Except as provided in Section 7.2 below and subject to Landlord’s obligations expressly contained in Section 2.4 of this Lease, Tenant at its sole expense shall maintain and make all repairs and replacements necessary to keep the Premises and the Building in the condition as existed on the Commencement Date (or on any later date that the improvements may have been installed), excepting ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation, including without limitation all interior glass, doors, door closures, hardware, fixtures, fire extinguisher equipment and other equipment installed in the Premises and all Alterations constructed by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3 below. Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall maintain, repair and/or replace those two (2) HVAC units installed as part of the Tenant Improvement Work and serving Tenant’s clean room in the Premises (the “Supplemental HVAC Units”). Any damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices by Tenant. As part of its maintenance obligations hereunder, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, provide Landlord with copies of all maintenance schedules, reports and notices prepared by, for or on behalf of Tenant. All repairs and replacements shall be at least equal in quality to the original work, shall be made only by a licensed contractor reasonably approved in writing in advance by Landlord. Any contractor utilized by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s standard requirements for contractors, as modified from time to time. Landlord may impose reasonable restrictions and requirements with respect to repairs and replacements, as provided in Section 7.3, and the provisions of Section 7.4 shall apply to all repairs and replacements. If Tenant fails to properly maintain and/or repair the Premises or the Building as herein provided following Landlord’s notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period (or earlier if Landlord determines that such work must be performed prior to such time in order to avoid damage to the Premises or Building or other detriment), then Landlord may elect, but shall have no obligation, to perform any repair or maintenance required hereunder on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all reasonable costs incurred upon submission of an invoice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, Landlord shall perform and construct, and Tenant shall have no responsibility to perform or construct, any repair, maintenance or improvements which could be treated as a “capital” expenditure under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay for its share of such “capital expenditures” to the extent such costs are properly included in Operating Expenses.

SECTION 7.2. LANDLORD’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Subject to Section 7.1 and Article XI, Landlord shall provide service, maintenance and repair with respect to any air conditioning, ventilating or heating equipment which serves the Premises (exclusive, however, of the Supplemental HVAC Units) and shall maintain in good repair the roof (including the roof membrane), foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building (including exterior glass), and the structural, electrical, plumbing, life safety and mechanical systems (including elevators, if any, serving the Building), except that Tenant at its expense shall make all repairs resulting from the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, subtenants or contractors. Landlord shall have the right to employ or designate any reputable person or firm, including any employee or agent of Landlord or any of Landlord’s affiliates or divisions, to perform any service, repair or maintenance function. Landlord need not make any other improvements or repairs except as specifically required under this Lease, and nothing contained in this Section shall limit Landlord’s right to reimbursement from Tenant for maintenance, repair costs and replacement costs as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant understands that it shall not perform any maintenance or make any repairs or replacements at Landlord’s expense and shall have no right to any rental offset for any maintenance, repairs or replacements performed by Tenant. Except for normal preventive maintenance, which Landlord shall perform regardless of any notice from Tenant, Tenant further understands that Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs to the roof, foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building (excluding exterior glass), or structural, electrical or mechanical systems unless and until Tenant has

 

13


notified Landlord in writing of the need for such repair and Landlord shall have a reasonable period of time thereafter to commence and complete said repair, if warranted. Subject to the express provisions of Section 2.4 above and to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2, all costs of any maintenance, repairs and replacements on the part of Landlord provided hereunder shall be considered part of Site Costs. Tenant further agrees that if Tenant fails to report any such need for repair in writing within sixty (60) days of its discovery by Tenant, including without limitation moisture conditions which could cause mold, Tenant shall be responsible for any costs and expenses and other damages related to such repair which are in excess of those which would have resulted had such need for repair been reported to Landlord within such sixty (60) day period.

SECTION 7.3. ALTERATIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Tenant shall make no alterations, additions, fixtures or improvements (“Alterations”) to the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make Alterations to the Premises costing less than One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot of the improved portion of the Premises during each calendar year of the Term without Landlord’s consent, provided, however, that any Alterations which change the structural, electrical or mechanical systems of the Premises, or which require a governmental permit as a prerequisite to the construction thereof, shall require Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in either of the foregoing sentences, however, no Alterations shall: (i) affect the exterior of the Building or outside areas (or be visible from adjoining sites), or (ii) adversely affect or penetrate any of the structural portions of the Building, including but not limited to the roof, or (iii) require any change to the basic floor plan of the Premises (including, without limitation, the adding of any additional “office” square footage) or any change to any structural or mechanical systems of the Premises, or (iv) fail to comply with any applicable governmental requirements, or (v) result in the Premises requiring building services beyond the level normally provided to other tenants, or (vi) interfere in any manner with the proper functioning of, or Landlord’s access to, any mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC systems, facilities or equipment located in or serving the Building, or (vii) diminish the value of the Premises including, without limitation, using lesser quality materials than those existing in the Premises, or (viii) alter or replace Standard Improvements. Further, in the event that any Alteration would result in a change from Landlord’s building standard materials and specifications (“Standard Improvements”), then subject to Landlord’s election contained in the last paragraph of this Section 7.3, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of replacing such non-standard improvement (“Non-Standard Improvement”) with the applicable Standard Improvement (“Replacements”) which Replacements shall be completed prior to the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord may impose any reasonable condition to its consent, including but not limited to a requirement that the installation and/or removal of all Alterations and Replacements in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) be covered by a lien and completion bond satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Landlord shall in all events, whether or not Landlord’s consent is required, have the right to reasonably approve prior to the commencement of any work the contractor performing the installation and removal of Alterations and Replacements and Tenant shall not permit any contractor not approved by Landlord to perform any work on the Premises or on the Building. Tenant shall obtain all required permits for the installation and removal of Alterations and Replacements and shall perform the installation and removal of Alterations and Replacements in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, all covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Site, and the Rules and Regulations as described in Article XVII. Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to a supervision fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the cost of such Alterations either requiring a permit from the City of Irvine or affecting any mechanical, electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems, facilities or equipment located in or serving the Building. Under no circumstances shall Tenant make any Alterations or Replacements which incorporate any Hazardous Materials, including without limitation asbestos-containing construction materials into the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas. If any governmental entity requires, as a condition to any proposed Alterations by Tenant, that improvements be made to the Common Areas, and if Landlord consents to such improvements to the Common Areas (which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord), then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, make such improvements to the Common Areas required by law and in such manner, utilizing such materials, and with such contractors, architects and engineers as Landlord may require in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to make any such improvements to be made to the Common Areas at Tenant’s expense, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all reasonable costs incurred in making such improvements. Any request for Landlord’s consent to any proposed Alterations shall be made in writing and shall contain architectural plans describing the work in detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord may elect to cause its architect to review Tenant’s architectural plans, and the reasonable cost of that review shall be reimbursed by Tenant. Should the work proposed by Tenant and consented to by Landlord modify the basic floor plan of the Premises, then Tenant shall, at its expense, furnish Landlord with as-built drawings and CAD disks compatible with Landlord’s systems and standards. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, all Alterations made or affixed to the Premises, the Building or to the Common Areas (excluding moveable trade fixtures, equipment, personal property and furniture), and all telephone and data cabling, shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term; except that Landlord may, as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.3, require Tenant to remove by the Expiration Date, or sooner termination date of this Lease, all or any of the Alterations installed either by Tenant or by Landlord at Tenant’s request and to repair any damage to the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas arising from that removal and restore the Premises to their condition prior to making such Alterations. The foregoing restoration requirements shall be in addition to Tenant’s “Restoration Requirement” as set forth in the Work Letter attached to this Lease. The foregoing provisions for removal of Alterations, however, shall not be applicable to the Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Work Letter, which Work Letter itself shall govern any removal of the Tenant Improvements upon the expiration of the Term.

If Landlord conditions its consent on the same, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any Alterations, and to replace the same with the applicable Replacements, as of the Expiration Date or sooner

 

14


termination of the Lease. Any Alterations for which Landlord’s consent is not given, however, shall be subject to Landlord’s right, exercisable at any time, to require same to be removed (and replaced with the Replacements) at the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease.

SECTION 7.4. MECHANIC’S LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Site free from any liens arising out of any services or work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) business days following such request) cause any such lien to be released by posting a bond in accordance with California Civil Code Section 3143 or any successor statute. In the event that Tenant shall not, within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s actual notice of the imposition of any lien, cause the lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other available remedies, the right to cause the lien to be released by any means it deems proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to the lien. All reasonable expenses so incurred by Landlord, including Landlord’s attorneys’ fees, and any consequential or other damages incurred by Landlord arising out of such lien, shall be reimbursed by Tenant upon demand, together with interest from the date of payment by Landlord at the maximum rate permitted by law until paid. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than ten (10) days’ prior notice in writing before commencing construction of any kind on the Premises or Common Areas and shall again notify Landlord that construction has commenced, such notice to be given on the actual date on which construction commences, so that Landlord may post and maintain notices of nonresponsibility on the Premises or Common Areas, as applicable, which notices Landlord shall have the right to post and which Tenant agrees it shall not disturb. Tenant shall also provide Landlord notice in writing within ten (10) days following the date on which such work is substantially completed. The provisions of this Section shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

SECTION 7.5. ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Landlord shall at all reasonable times, upon written or oral notice (except in emergencies, when no notice shall be required) have the right to enter the Premises to inspect them, to supply services in accordance with this Lease, to perform any work required or permitted to be performed by Landlord within the Premises, to have access to install, repair, maintain, replace or remove all electrical and mechanical installations of Landlord and to protect the interests of Landlord in the Premises, and to submit the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers or encumbrance holders (or, during the last one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Term or when an Event of Default exists, to prospective tenants), all without being deemed to have caused an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent except as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord shall have the right, if desired, to retain a key which unlocks all of the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord as provided in this Section 7.5 shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises. In exercising any of Landlord’s rights of entry, inspection, repair, maintenance and construction under this Lease, including, without limitation, under Sections 5.3(d), 6.1, 6.5 and 7.5, Landlord shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable security measures and operating procedures and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Tenant. Further, Landlord shall not exercise any such rights in any such manner as would unreasonably interfere with Tenant’ use of, access to, or parking at the Premises.

ARTICLE VIII. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS ON TENANT’S PROPERTY

Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency, all taxes and assessments levied against all personal property of Tenant located in the Premises, and, if required by Landlord, against all Non Standard Improvements to the Premises (as defined in Section 7.3) made by Landlord or Tenant, and against any Alterations (as defined in Section 7.3) made to the Premises or the Building by or on behalf of Tenant. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall cause its personal property, Non-Standard Improvements and Alterations to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of which the Premises form a part. If any taxes required to be paid by Tenant on Tenant’s personal property, Non-Standard Improvements and/or Alterations are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property and if Landlord pays the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion of a value placed upon Tenant’s personal property, Non-Standard Improvements and/or Alterations and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon the increased assessment, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant pay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of the taxes resulting from the increase in the assessment. In calculating what portion of any tax bill which is assessed against Landlord separately, or Landlord and Tenant jointly, is attributable to Tenant’s Non-Standard Improvements, Alterations and personal property, Landlord’s reasonable determination shall be conclusive.

ARTICLE IX. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

SECTION 9.1. RIGHTS OF PARTIES.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, and except as to transfers expressly permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 9.4, Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, sublet, encumber, or otherwise transfer all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1(b). Except as to transfers expressly permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 9.4, no assignment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law), subletting or other transfer shall be valid or effective without Landlord’s prior written consent and, at Landlord’s election, any such assignment, subletting or other transfer shall be void and of no force and effect. Landlord shall not be deemed to have given its consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer by any course of action, including without limitation its acceptance of rent or any other payment due under

 

15


this Lease from any person or entity other than Tenant or its acceptance of any name for listing in the Building directory, other than Landlord’s written consent. To the extent not prohibited by provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including Section 365(f)(1), Tenant on behalf of itself and its creditors, administrators and assigns waives the applicability of Section 365(e) of the Bankruptcy Code unless the proposed assignee of the Trustee for the estate of the bankrupt meets Landlord’s standard for consent as set forth in Section 9.1(b) of this Lease. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other considerations to be delivered in connection with the assignment shall be delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of the assignment, and shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming that assumption.

(b) If Tenant desires to assign, sublease or otherwise transfer an interest in this Lease or the Premises, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire and shall submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee; (ii) the nature of any proposed assignee’s, subtenant’s or transferee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of any proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer, including a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or transfer form; (iv) evidence that the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee will comply with the requirements of Exhibit D hereto; (v) a completed Environmental Questionnaire from the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee; (vi) any other information requested by Landlord and reasonably related to the transfer and (vii) the fee described in Section 9.1(e). Except as provided in Section 9.1 (c), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent, provided that the parties agree that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent if: (1) the use of the Premises will not be consistent with the provisions of this Lease; (2) insurance requirements of the proposed assignee or subtenant may not be brought into conformity with Landlord’s then current leasing practice; (3) the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee has failed to submit to Landlord all reasonable information as requested by Landlord concerning the proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee, including, but not limited to, current financial statements; (4) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a prospect with whom Landlord is “actively negotiating” (as hereinafter defined) to become a tenant at the Site (provided Landlord has available space in the Site for such existing tenant or prospect); or (5) the proposed transfer will impose additional burdens or adverse tax effects on Landlord. As used herein, “actively negotiating” shall mean that the prospect shall have countered a written proposal from Landlord in writing within four (4) months prior to Tenant’s proposed transfer for the lease of space in the Building or the Site. Tenant’s exterior sign rights under this Lease, are personal to Tenant and any Permitted Transferee and may not be assigned or transferred to any assignee of this Lease or subtenant of the Premises other than a Permitted Transferee without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a transfer of such signage rights in connection with Tenant’s assignment of this Lease or sublease of the entire Premises, provided that Landlord shall have the right of prior approval that such signage continues to comply with the Sign Criteria and the other requirements of Section 5.2 of this Lease, and provided further that any name and/or graphics on such signage do not materially devalue the Project as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant may within ninety (90) days after the date of the consent effect the transfer upon the terms described in the information furnished to Landlord; provided that any material change in the terms shall be subject to Landlord’s consent as set forth in this Section 9.1. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any requested transfer within fifteen (15) business days following delivery of Tenant’s written request, the information set forth above, and the fee set forth below.

(c) Except with respect to an assignment or subletting to a Permitted Transferee, in the event of an assignment of this Lease or a subletting or more than fifty percent (50%) of the Floor Area of the Premises (in the aggregate), in lieu of consenting to a proposed assignment or subletting, Landlord may elect, within the fifteen (15) business day period permitted for Landlord to approve or disapprove a requested transfer, to terminate this Lease in its entirety in the event of a proposed assignment or to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be subleased with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable under this Lease. Any such termination so elected by Landlord shall be effective thirty (30) days following written notice by Landlord of its election. Landlord may thereafter, at its option, assign, sublet or re-let any space so sublet, obtained by assignment or obtained by termination to any third party, including without limitation the proposed transferee of Tenant. In the event of any termination of this Lease as to a portion of the Premises pursuant to this Section 9.1(c), Landlord shall promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease appropriately amending those provisions of the Lease affected by such termination, and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within twenty (20) business days thereafter subject to Tenant’s reasonable review and approval thereof.

(d) Except with respect to an assignment or subletting to a Permitted Transferee, in the event that Landlord approves the requested assignment, subletting or other transfer, Landlord shall be entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of any amounts paid by the assignee or subtenant, however described, in excess of (i) the Basic Rent and Operating Expenses payable by Tenant hereunder, or in the case of a sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of the Basic Rent and Operating Expenses reasonably allocable to such portion as determined by Landlord, plus (ii) Tenant’s direct out-of-pocket costs which Tenant certifies to Landlord have been paid to provide occupancy related services to such assignee or subtenant of a nature commonly provided by landlords of similar space (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, legal fees and tenant improvement costs paid by Tenant in connection with such subletting or assignment), shall be the property of Landlord and such amounts shall be payable directly to Landlord by the assignee or subtenant concurrently with such assignee’s or subtenant’s payment(s) to Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, by Tenant within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. Landlord shall have the right to review or audit the books and records of Tenant, or have such books and records reviewed or

 

16


audited by an outside accountant, to confirm any such direct out-of-pocket costs. In the event that such direct out-of-pocket costs claimed by Tenant are overstated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any of Landlord’s costs related to such review or audit. At Landlord’s request, a written agreement shall be entered into by and among Tenant, Landlord and the proposed assignee or subtenant confirming the requirements of this Section 9.1(d).

(e) Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to the greater of (i) Landlord’s actual and reasonable costs related to such assignment, subletting or other transfer or (ii) Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), to process any request by Tenant for an assignment, subletting or other transfer under this Lease. Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) concurrently with Tenant’s request for consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer, and Landlord shall have no obligation to consider such request unless accompanied by such payment. Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand any costs in excess of such payment to the extent Landlord’s actual and reasonable costs related to such request exceeds $500.00. Such fee is hereby acknowledged as a reasonable amount to reimburse Landlord for its costs of review and evaluation of a proposed transfer.

SECTION 9.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. No assignment, subletting or other transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease. Moreover, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, as provided in Section 10.3, for any act or omission by an assignee, subtenant or transferee. Each assignee, other than Landlord, shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of all rent, and for the due performance of all of Tenant’s obligations, under this Lease. No assignment, subletting or transfer shall be effective or binding on Landlord unless documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion evidencing the transfer, and in the case of an assignment, the assignee’s assumption of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, is delivered to Landlord and both the assignee/subtenant and Tenant deliver to Landlord an executed consent to transfer instrument prepared by Landlord in a commercially reasonable form and consistent with the requirements of this Article. Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not operate as a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its rights under this Lease or as a consent to any subsequent transfer.

SECTION 9.3. SUBLEASE REQUIREMENTS. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in each sublease:

(a) Such subletting and any subtenant of the Premises shall be subject to each and every provision contained in this Lease.

(b) Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the Premises, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until there is an Event of Default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to receive and collect the sublease rentals. Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment or the collection of sublease rentals, be deemed liable to the subtenant for the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that an uncured Event of Default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord all sums then and thereafter due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that the subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of further inquiry and notwithstanding any notice or claim by Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against the subtenant or Landlord for any rentals so paid to Landlord; provided, however, that any such amounts received by Landlord shall be credited towards any amount Tenant owes under this Lease.

(c) In the event of the termination of this Lease for any reason, including without limitation as the result of an Event of Default by Tenant or by the mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant, Landlord may, at its sole option, take over Tenant’s entire interest in any sublease and, upon notice from Landlord, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord. In no event, however, shall Landlord be liable for any previous act or omission by Tenant under the sublease or for the return of any advance rental payments or deposits under the sublease that have not been actually delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound by any sublease modification executed without Landlord’s consent or for any advance rental payment by the subtenant in excess of one month’s rent. The provisions of this Lease (other than with respect to the payment of rent), including without limitation those pertaining to insurance and indemnification, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the sublease despite the termination of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not elect to take over Tenant’s interest in a sublease in the event of any such termination of this Lease, such sublease shall terminate concurrently with the termination of this Lease and such subtenant shall have no further rights under such sublease and Landlord shall have no obligations to such subtenant.

SECTION 9.4. CERTAIN TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article IX, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for and Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent and without constituting an assignment or sublease hereunder, sublet the Premises or assign the Lease to (A) an entity controlling, under common control with or controlled by Tenant (“Affiliate”), (B) a successor entity related to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action, or (C) a purchaser of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises ((A), (B) and (C) are collectively referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferees” and individually as a “Permitted Transferee” and transfers to such Permitted Transferees shall be collectively referred to herein as “Permitted Transfers”), so long as (i) the net worth of the Permitted Transferee is at least equal to the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the date of such Permitted Transfer, or, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, such Permitted Transferee has sufficient net worth to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, evidence of which, satisfactory to Landlord, shall be presented to Landlord prior to

 

17


such Permitted Transfer, provided, however, that the provisions of this clause (i) shall not apply to transfers to an Affiliate, (ii) Tenant shall provide to Landlord, prior to such Permitted Transfer, written notice of such Permitted Transfer and such assignment documentation and other information as Landlord may reasonably require in connection therewith, and (iii) all of the other terms and requirements of Sections 9.2 and 9.3 (but not Section 9.1) shall apply with respect to such Permitted Transfer. A sale or transfer of Tenant’s capital stock shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting, or any other transfer of this Lease or the Premises.

ARTICLE X. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

SECTION 10.1. TENANT’S INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide and maintain in effect the insurance described in Exhibit D. Evidence of that insurance must be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date or any earlier date on which Tenant may enter upon or take possession of the Premises for any reason whatsoever.

SECTION 10.2. LANDLORD’S INSURANCE. Landlord shall provide the following types of insurance, with or without deductible and in amounts and coverages as Landlord may from time to time deem appropriate: property insurance, including fire, vandalism, malicious mischief and such other additional perils as may be included in a standard “special form” policy,” subject to standard exclusions (such as, but not limited to, earthquake and flood exclusions), covering the full replacement value of the Building including all Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Work Letter (the “Property Policy”). In addition, Landlord may, at its election, obtain insurance for such other risks as Landlord or its mortgagees may from time to time deem appropriate, including, without limitation, coverage for earthquake, flood and commercial general liability. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s Alterations or on Tenant’s other property, including, without limitation, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, signs and all other items of personal property, and shall not be obligated to repair or replace that property should damage occur. All proceeds of insurance maintained by Landlord upon the Building and/or Site shall be the property of Landlord, whether or not Landlord is obligated to or elects to make any repairs. At Landlord’s option, Landlord may self-insure all or any portion of the risks for which Landlord elects or is obligated to provide insurance hereunder.

SECTION 10.3. JOINT INDEMNITY.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, including, without limitation, any corporations or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord, from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses arising either before or after the Commencement Date from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, including, without limitation, the use by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or licensees of any recreational facilities within the Common Areas; the conduct of Tenant’s business; any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees in or about the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas; or from any Event of Default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under this Lease; or from any act or negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, visitors, patrons, guests, invitees or licensees. In cases of alleged negligence asserted by third parties against Landlord which arise out of, are occasioned by, or in any way attributable to Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees use and occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees on Tenant’s part to be performed under this Lease, or from any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, licensees or invitees, Tenant shall accept any tender of defense for Landlord and shall, notwithstanding any allegation of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Landlord, defend Landlord with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and protect and hold Landlord harmless and pay all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such litigation, provided that Tenant shall not be liable for any such injury or damage, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for the attorney representing both parties, all to the extent and in the proportion that such injury or damage is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (or in connection with any negotiated settlement agreed to by Landlord) to be attributable to the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, retain a separate attorney reasonably selected by Landlord to represent Landlord in any such suit if Landlord reasonably determines that the representation of both Tenant and Landlord by the same attorney would cause a conflict of interest; provided, however, that to the extent and in the proportion that the injury or damage which is the subject of the suit is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (or in connection with any negotiated settlement agreed to by Landlord) to be attributable to the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable legal fees and costs of the separate attorney retained by Tenant. The provisions of this Section 10.3(a) shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to the express limitations on liability contained in this Lease (including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 10.5 and 14.8 of this Lease), Tenant shall not indemnify Landlord for, and Landlord shall defend, indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless Tenant, its agents and any and all affiliates of Tenant, including without limitation, any corporations, or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, from and against, any and all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising either before or after the Commencement Date from the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or authorized agents in connection with the operation, maintenance or repair of the Common Areas of the Site. The provisions of this Subsection 10.3(b) shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

18


SECTION 10.4. LANDLORD’S NONLIABILITY. Subject only to the express indemnity obligations contained in Section 10.3(b) of this Lease but notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents and/or invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, for injuries to or deaths of persons whatsoever resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, mold, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works, roof, windows or other fixtures in the Building (whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or in other portions of the Building), regardless of the negligence of Landlord, its agents or any and all affiliates of Landlord in connection with any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10.3(b) of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, for loss of or damage to any property, or any other loss, cost, damage, injury or liability to property whatsoever resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works or other fixtures in the Building, whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or in other portions of the Building, regardless of the negligence of Landlord, its agents or any and all affiliates of Landlord in connection with any of the foregoing. It is understood that any such condition may require the temporary evacuation or closure of all or a portion of the Building. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10.3(b) of this Lease, Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents, and invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, for loss or interruption of Tenant’s business or income (including, without limitation, any consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs), or any other loss, cost, damage, injury or liability resulting from Acts of God (except with respect to restoration obligations pursuant to Article XI below), acts of civil disobedience or insurrection, acts or omissions (criminal or otherwise) of any third parties (other than Landlord’s employees or authorized agents), including without limitation, any other tenants within the Site or their agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever (including without limitation consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs) and, except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of rent, by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an actual or constructive eviction. In making repairs, alterations or improvements, however, Landlord shall interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. Should Tenant elect to receive any service or products from a concessionaire, licensee or third party tenant of Landlord, Landlord shall have no liability for any services or products so provided or for any breach of contract by such third party provider. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for interference with light or other similar intangible interests. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in case of fire or accident in the Premises, the Building or the Site and of defects in any improvements or equipment.

SECTION 10.5. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other and the other’s agents on account of loss and damage occasioned to the property of such waiving party to the extent that the waiving party is entitled to proceeds for such loss or damage under any property insurance policies carried or required to be carried by the provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the Property Policy required of Landlord in the first sentence of Section 10.2 of this Lease); provided however, that the foregoing waiver shall not apply to the extent of Tenant’s obligations to pay deductibles under any such policies and this Lease. By this waiver it is the intent of the parties that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage insured against under any property insurance policies contemplated by this Lease, even though such loss or damage might be occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees. All of Landlord’s and Tenant’s repair and indemnity obligations under this Lease shall be subject to the waiver contained in this Section 10.5.

ARTICLE XI. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

SECTION 11.1. RESTORATION.

(a) If the Premises or the Building or a part thereof are materially damaged by any fire, flood, earthquake or other casualty, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant if: (i) Landlord reasonably determines that proceeds necessary to pay the full cost of repair are not available from Landlord’s Property Policy (or if Landlord chooses to self-insure all or any portion of such Property Policy coverage, that the necessary proceeds would not have been available if the Property Policy had been in place through third-party insurers) and/or from its other property insurance policies (if any), including without limitation proceeds to cover any earthquake casualty, plus such additional amounts Tenant elects, at its option, to contribute, excluding however the deductible (for which Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s Share not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for any single casualty); (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired by Landlord (or cannot be safely repaired because of the presence of hazardous factors, including without limitation Hazardous Materials, earthquake faults, and other similar dangers) within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the damage; (iii) an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing; or (iv) the material damage occurs during the final twelve (12) months of the Term. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Notice”) within sixty (60) days after the damage occurs as to (A) whether Landlord is terminating this Lease as a result of such material damage and (B) if Landlord is not terminating this Lease, the number of days within which Landlord estimates that the Premises, with reasonable diligence, are likely to be fully repaired. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall

 

19


terminate as of the date specified for termination by Landlord’s Notice (which termination date shall in no event be later than sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, or, if no such date is specified, such termination shall be the date of Landlord’s Notice). In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease (but not in the event of a termination of this Lease by Tenant pursuant to Section 11.1(b) below), Tenant shall have no obligation for reimbursement of Landlord’s insurance deductible.

(b) If Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and does not elect to so terminate this Lease, and provided that at the time of Landlord’s Notice neither an uncured Event of Default exists nor has Landlord delivered Tenant a notice of any failure by Tenant to fulfill an obligation under this Lease which, unless cured by Tenant within the applicable grace period, would constitute an Event of Default, then within ten (10) business days following delivery of Landlord’s Notice pursuant to Section 11.1(a), Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, but only if (i) Landlord’s Notice specifies that Landlord has determined that the Premises cannot be repaired, with reasonable diligence, within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of damage or (ii) the casualty has occurred within the final twelve (12) months of the Term and such material damage has a materially adverse impact on Tenant’s continued use of the Premises. If Tenant fails to provide such termination notice within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any termination right under this Section 1l.1(b) or any other applicable law.

(c) In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.1 as a result of material damage to the Building or Premises resulting from a casualty, Landlord shall repair all material damage to the Premises or the Building as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in effect for the remainder of the Term. Subject to any provision to the contrary in the Work Letter, such repair by Landlord shall include repair of material damage to the Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Work Letter. Landlord’s repair of material damage shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense except for any insurance deductible (for which Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s Share, not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for any single casualty). Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repair or replace any other leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any Alterations (as defined in Section 7.3) constructed by Tenant as part of Landlord’s repair of material damage, in which case Tenant shall make available to Landlord upon demand insurance proceeds from insurance required to be maintained by Tenant. If Landlord elects to repair or replace such leasehold improvements and/or Alterations, all insurance proceeds available for such repair or replacement shall be made available to Landlord. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in the event that the Premises or the Building has not been fully repaired within the time period specified by Landlord in Landlord’s Notice to Tenant as described in Section 11.1(a). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XI, the repair of damage to the Premises to the extent such damage is not material shall be governed by Sections 7.1 and 7.2.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1(c), if for any reasons other than delays caused by Tenant, or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, the Premises and/or the Building have not been substantially repaired within the time period specified in Landlord’s Notice to Tenant as described in Section 11.1(a), then Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord given at any time thereafter but prior to the actual date of the substantial completion of the repair of the Premises or the Building, elect to terminate this Lease effective thirty (30) days from and after the date of such notice, provided that if Landlord shall substantially complete such repairs on or before the effective date of such termination, then Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease shall thereupon be cancelled and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the construction period, Landlord reasonably determines that the substantial completion of said repairs will be delayed beyond the time period specified in Landlord’s Notice (for reasons other than Tenant-caused delays and/or force majeure delays), then Landlord may notify Tenant in writing of such determination and of a new outside date for completion of such repairs, and Tenant must elect within five (5) days of receipt of such notice to either terminate this Lease or waive its right to terminate this Lease provided such repairs are substantially completed within thirty (30) days following the new outside date established by Landlord in such notice to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to elect to terminate this Lease within such five (5) day period shall be deemed Tenant’s waiver of its right to terminate this Lease as provided in this paragraph as to the previous outside date, but not as to the new outside date established by said notice.

(d) Commencing on the date of such material damage to the Building, and ending on the sooner of the date the damage is repaired or the date this Lease is terminated, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the same proportion that the Floor Area of the Premises that is rendered unusable by the damage from time to time bears to the total Floor Area of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord.

(e) Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord in removing Tenant’s personal property and any debris from the Premises to facilitate all inspections of the Premises and the making of any repairs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord in good faith believes there is a risk of injury to persons or damage to property from entry into the Building or Premises following any damage or destruction thereto, Landlord may restrict entry into the Building or the Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents and contractors in a non-discriminatory manner, without being deemed to have violated Tenant’s rights of quiet enjoyment to, or made an unlawful detainer of, or evicted Tenant from, the Premises. Upon request, Landlord shall consult with Tenant to determine if there are safe methods of entry into the Building or the Premises solely in order to allow Tenant to retrieve files, data in computers, and necessary inventory, subject however to all indemnities and waivers of liability from Tenant to Landlord contained in this Lease and any additional indemnities and waivers of liability which Landlord may reasonably require.

SECTION 11.2. LEASE GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any damage or destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.

ARTICLE XII. EMINENT DOMAIN

SECTION 12.1. TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a material portion of the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building or Site, whether or not including a portion of the Premises, is taken or sold to prevent a taking, and if Landlord elects to restore the Building in such a way as to alter the Premises materially, either party may terminate this Lease, by written notice to the other party, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the event neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient condemnation award, proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority.

SECTION 12.2. TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and any award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises shall belong entirely to Tenant. A temporary taking shall be deemed to be a taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period of not to exceed ninety (90) days.

SECTION 12.3. TAKING OF PARKING AREA. In the event there shall be a taking of the parking area of the Site such that Landlord can no longer provide sufficient parking to comply with this Lease, Landlord may substitute reasonably equivalent parking in a location reasonably close to the Building; provided that if Landlord fails to make that substitution within ninety (90) days following the taking and if the taking materially impairs Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. If this Lease is not so terminated by Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rent and this Lease shall continue in effect.

ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIALS

SECTION 13.1. SUBORDINATION. At the option of Landlord or any lender of Landlord’s that obtains a security interest in the Building, this Lease shall be either superior or subordinate to all ground or underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust, if any, which may hereafter affect the Building, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, that so long as no uncured Event of Default exists under this Lease, Tenant’s possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed and this Lease shall not terminate in the event of termination of any such ground or underlying lease, or the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, to which this Lease has been subordinated pursuant to this Section. Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than twenty (20) days prior written notice from Landlord, execute and deliver any documents or agreements that are in commercially reasonable form and are requested by Landlord or such lessor or lender which provide Tenant with the non-disturbance protections set forth in this Section. In the event of a termination or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and attorn to the successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease, and shall execute any instrument reasonably required by Landlord’s successor for that purpose. Tenant shall also, upon written request of Landlord, execute and deliver all instruments as may be required from time to time to subordinate the rights of Tenant under this Lease to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust (provided that such instruments include the nondisturbance and attornment provisions set forth above and are in commercially reasonable form), or, if requested by Landlord, to subordinate, in whole or in part, any ground or underlying lease or the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease. Tenant agrees that any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or lender taking title under a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure shall not be responsible for any act or omission of a prior landlord, shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses Tenant may have against a prior landlord, and shall not be liable for the return of the security deposit to the extent it is not actually received by such purchaser or bound by any rent paid for more than the current month in which the foreclosure occurred.

Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the execution of this Lease, the Premises and the Site are not encumbered by any deed of trust, mortgage or ground lease referred to in Section 13.1 above.

SECTION 13.2. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

(a) Tenant shall at any time upon not less than twenty (20) days prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in any commercially reasonable form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant’s knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth all further information that Landlord or any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer may reasonably require. Tenant’s statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Site.

 

21


(b) Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant’s failure to deliver any estoppel statement within the provided time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) there are no uncured Events of Default in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) not more than one month’s rental has been paid in advance.

SECTION 13.3. FINANCIALS.

(a) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to the execution of this Lease and thereafter at any time and from time to time within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s written request (but not more frequently than once during any calendar year during the Term), Tenant’s current tax returns and financial statements, certified to be true, accurate and complete by the chief financial officer of Tenant, including a balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the most recent prior year, (collectively, the “Statements”), which Statements shall accurately and completely reflect the financial condition of Tenant; provided, however, that in the event and so long as Tenant is a publicly traded corporation on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the foregoing obligation to deliver the Statements shall be waived. If delivered to Landlord marked or otherwise designated as “confidential”, Landlord agrees that it will keep the Statements confidential, except that Landlord shall have the right to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser of the Building or Site, and to any encumbrancer or proposed encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Site.

(b) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying on the Statements in its determination to enter into this Lease, and Tenant represents to Landlord, which representation shall be deemed made on the date of this Lease, that no material change in the financial condition of Tenant, as reflected in the Statements, has occurred since the date Tenant delivered the Statements to Landlord. The Statements are represented and warranted by Tenant to be correct and to accurately and fully reflect Tenant’s true financial condition as of the date of submission of any Statements to Landlord.

ARTICLE XIV. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

SECTION 14.1. TENANT’S DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (following the expiration of any cure period set forth below, if any is provided) shall constitute an ‘Event of Default” by Tenant:

(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Basic Rent or additional rent required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, where the failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. For purposes of these Events of Default and remedies provisions, the term “additional rent” shall be deemed to include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease and the Work Letter.

(b) Except as provided in Article IX of this Lease, the assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of this Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, where such assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer remains in effect for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant.

(c) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant, was materially false.

(d) The failure of Tenant to timely and fully provide any subordination agreement, estoppel certificate or financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Article XIII, where the failure continues for a period of three (3) business days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant.

(e) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.

(f) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in this Section 14.1, where the failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant or such shorter period as is specified in any other provision of this Lease; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended (but the foregoing shall not limit or modify the cure periods specifically set forth in this Section 14). However, if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred if Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.

(g)(i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where the seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days; (v) Tenant’s convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose

 

22


of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts or (vi) the failure of Tenant to pay its material obligations to creditors as and when they become due and payable, other than as a result of a good faith dispute by Tenant as to the amount due to such creditors. Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this Section 14.1(g) unless notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant’s insolvency. In the event that any provision of this Section 14.1(g) is contrary to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.

(h) Any other breach of this Lease which this Lease provides is an Event of Default.

SECTION 14.2. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.

(a) If an Event of Default by Tenant occurs, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord, Landlord may exercise the following remedies:

(i) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Such termination shall not affect any accrued obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property. Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from Tenant (and to retain, use or apply any Security Deposit held by Landlord towards amounts estimated by Landlord as):

(1) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Basic Rent and additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

(2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Basic Rent and additional rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

(3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Basic Rent and additional rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;

(4) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result from Tenant’s Event of Default, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, refurbishment of the Premises, marketing costs, commissions and other expenses of reletting, including necessary repair, the unamortized portion of any tenant improvements and brokerage commissions funded by Landlord in connection with this Lease, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other reasonable costs; and

(5) At Landlord’s election, all other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. The term “rent” as used in the Lease shall be deemed to mean the Basic Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and any other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease whether or not designated as additional rent hereunder, including, without limitation, any sums that may be owing from Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Lease. Any sum, other than Basic Rent, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount accruing during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately prior to the Event of Default, except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before the twenty-four (24) month period has occurred, then the computation shall be on the basis of the average monthly amount during the shorter period. As used in Sections 14.2(a)(i) (1) and (2) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in Section 14.2(a)(i)(3) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(ii) Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and to continue to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to collect all rent as it becomes due as provided in Civil Code Section 1951.4. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain, preserve or relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Landlord’s interests under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to avail itself of the remedy provided by this Section 14.2(a)(ii), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting of the Premises subject to the reasonable standards for Landlord’s consent as are contained in this Lease.

(b) The various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in this Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided by California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies at the same time.

(c) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any breach or Event of Default by Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i) waiver of any preceding breach or Event of Default by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of the preceding breach or Event of Default at the time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver of Landlord’s right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of the breach or Event of Default. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a

 

23


lesser amount than the rent required by this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord shall accept the check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any employee shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

SECTION 14.3. LATE PAYMENTS.

(a) Any payment due to Landlord under this Lease, including without limitation Basic Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or any other payment due to Landlord under this Lease whether or not designated as additional rent hereunder, that is not received by Landlord within five (5) days following the date due shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date due until fully paid. The payment of interest shall not cure any breach or Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any Basic Rent or Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days following the date due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge, which the Tenant agrees is reasonable, in a sum equal to the greater of five percent (5%) of the amount overdue or One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each delinquent payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the late fee for the initial late payment of Basic Rent and/or Operating Expenses during each calendar year of the Term shall be waived. Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s breach or Event of Default with respect to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies.

(b) Following each second installment of Basic Rent and/or the payment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses within any twelve (12) month period that is not paid within five (5) days following the date due, Landlord shall have the option to require that beginning with the first payment of Basic Rent next due, Basic Rent and the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall no longer be paid in monthly installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance. Should Tenant deliver to Landlord, at any time during the Term, two (2) or more insufficient checks, the Landlord may require that all monies then and thereafter due from Tenant be paid to Landlord by cashier’s check. If any check for any payment to Landlord hereunder is returned by the bank for any reason, such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Landlord and Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable late charge, interest payment and the charge to Landlord by its bank for such returned check. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to compel Landlord to accept Basic Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or any other payment from Tenant if there exists an Event of Default unless such payment fully cures any and all such Events of Default. Any acceptance of any such payment shall not be deemed to waive any other right of Landlord under this Lease. Any payment by Tenant to Landlord may be applied by Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, in any order determined by Landlord to any amounts then due to Landlord.

SECTION 14.4. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent or right of set-off. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than rent payable to Landlord, or fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and the failure continues beyond any applicable grace period set forth in Section 14.1, then in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at its election make the payment or perform the other act on Tenant’s part and Tenant hereby grants Landlord the right to enter onto the Premises in order to carry out such performance. Landlord’s election to make the payment or perform the act on Tenant’s part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts nor shall Landlord be responsible to Tenant for any damage caused to Tenant as the result of such performance by Landlord. Tenant shall, promptly upon demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law (not to exceed ten percent (10%) per annum) from the date of the payment by Landlord.

SECTION 14.5. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, and Tenant shall have no rights to take any action against Landlord, unless and until Landlord has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion. In the event of Landlord’s default under this Lease, Tenant’s sole remedies shall be to seek damages or specific performance from Landlord, provided that any damages shall be limited to Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket expenses and shall in no event include any consequential damages, lost profits or opportunity costs.

SECTION 14.6. EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. All sums reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with any Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease or holding over of possession by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or any action related to a filing for bankruptcy or reorganization by Tenant, including without limitation all reasonable costs, expenses and actual accountants, appraisers, attorneys and

 

24


other professional fees, and any collection agency or other collection charges, shall be due and payable to Landlord on demand, and shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring any action in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of the action its reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all other costs. The prevailing party for the purpose of this Section shall be determined by the trier of the facts.

SECTION 14.7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL/JUDICIAL REFERENCE.

(a) LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND TO THE EXTENT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE. FURTHERMORE, THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IS DEEMED TO BE INDEPENDENT OF EACH AND EVERY OTHER PROVISION, COVENANT, AND/OR CONDITION SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE.

(b) IN THE EVENT THAT THE JURY WAIVER PROVISIONS OF SECTION 14.7(a) ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.7(b) SHALL APPLY. IT IS THE DESIRE AND INTENTION OF THE PARTIES TO AGREE UPON A MECHANISM AND PROCEDURE UNDER WHICH CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR RELATED TO THE PREMISES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS MANNER. ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS FOR UNLAWFUL OR FORCIBLE DETAINER OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OF ATTACHMENT OR WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS EXPRESSLY STATED TO BE RESOLVED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 22.8 OF THIS LEASE, ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, SHALL BE HEARD AND RESOLVED BY A REFEREE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, SECTIONS 638 – 645.1, INCLUSIVE (AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED, OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO) (THE “REFEREE SECTIONS”). ANY FEE TO INITIATE THE JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PAID BY THE PARTY INITIATING SUCH PROCEDURE; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT THE COSTS AND FEES, INCLUDING ANY INITIATION FEE, OF SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL ULTIMATELY BE BORNE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 14.6 ABOVE. THE VENUE OF THE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED. WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF DELIVERY BY ANY PARTY TO THE OTHER PARTY OF A WRITTEN REQUEST TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 14.7(b), THE PARTIES SHALL AGREE UPON A SINGLE REFEREE WHO SHALL TRY ALL ISSUES, WHETHER OF FACT OR LAW, AND REPORT A FINDING AND JUDGMENT ON SUCH ISSUES AS REQUIRED BY THE REFEREE SECTIONS. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) DAY PERIOD, THEN ANY PARTY MAY THEREAFTER FILE A LAWSUIT IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPOINTMENT OF A REFEREE UNDER CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 AND 640, AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OF ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO. IF THE REFEREE IS APPOINTED BY THE COURT, THE REFEREE SHALL BE A NEUTRAL AND IMPARTIAL RETIRED JUDGE WITH SUBSTANTIAL EXPERIENCE IN THE RELEVANT MATTERS TO BE DETERMINED, FROM JAMS/ENDISPUTE, INC., THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION OR SIMILAR MEDIATION/ARBITRATION ENTITY. THE PROPOSED REFEREE MAY BE CHALLENGED BY ANY PARTY FOR ANY OF THE GROUNDS LISTED IN SECTION 641 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO. THE REFEREE SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE ALL ISSUES OF FACT AND LAW AND REPORT HIS OR HER DECISION ON SUCH ISSUES, AND TO ISSUE ALL RECOGNIZED REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION THAT IS BEFORE THE REFEREE, INCLUDING AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW. THE REFEREE SHALL NOT, HOWEVER, HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES, NOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED BY THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SUCH DAMAGES. THE PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONDUCT ALL DISCOVERY AS PROVIDED IN THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AND THE REFEREE SHALL OVERSEE DISCOVERY AND MAY ENFORCE ALL DISCOVERY ORDERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS ANY TRIAL COURT JUDGE, WITH RIGHTS TO REGULATE DISCOVERY AND TO ISSUE AND ENFORCE SUBPOENAS, PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISCOVERY AVAILABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW. THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW (INCLUDING THE RULES OF EVIDENCE), AND IN ALL REGARDS, THE REFEREE SHALL FOLLOW CALIFORNIA LAW APPLICABLE AT THE TIME OF THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING. IN

 

25


ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 644 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE UPON THE WHOLE ISSUE MUST STAND AS THE DECISION OF THE COURT, AND UPON THE FILING OF THE STATEMENT OF DECISION WITH THE CLERK OF THE COURT, OR WITH THE JUDGE IF THERE IS NO CLERK, JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED THEREON IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF THE ACTION HAD BEEN TRIED BY THE COURT. THE PARTIES SHALL PROMPTLY AND DILIGENTLY COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THE REFEREE, AND SHALL PERFORM SUCH ACTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS RESOLUTION OF THE DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 14.7(b). TO THE EXTENT THAT NO PENDING LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED TO OBTAIN THE APPOINTMENT OF A REFEREE, ANY PARTY, AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE, MAY APPLY TO THE COURT OF THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR CONFIRMATION BY THE COURT OF THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE IN THE SAME MANNER AS A PETITION FOR CONFIRMATION OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD PURSUANT TO CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 1285 ET SEQ. (AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO).

SECTION 14.8. SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT. The obligations of Landlord do not constitute the personal obligations of the individual partners, trustees, directors, officers, members or shareholders of Landlord or its constituent partners or members. Should Tenant recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only from the interest of Landlord in the Site and out of the rent or other income from such property receivable by Landlord or out of consideration received by Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord’s right, title or interest in the Site and no action for any deficiency may be sought or obtained by Tenant.

ARTICLE XV. END OF TERM

SECTION 15.1. HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate without further notice upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by Tenant after the expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease, or give Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when in writing signed by both parties. Any period of time following the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease required for Tenant to remove its property or to place the Premises in the condition required pursuant to Section 15.3 (or for Landlord to do so if Tenant fails to do so) shall be deemed a holding over by Tenant. If Tenant holds over for any period after the Expiration Date (or earlier termination) of the Term without the prior written consent of Landlord, such possession shall constitute a tenancy at sufferance only and an Event of Default under this Lease; such holding over with the prior written consent of Landlord shall constitute a month-to-month tenancy commencing on the first (1st) day following the termination of this Lease and terminating thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice of termination by either Landlord or Tenant to the other . In either of such events, possession shall be subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the monthly Basic Rent shall be the greater of (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Basic Rent for the month immediately preceding the date of termination or (b) the fair market rental for the Premises. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant relating to such failure to surrender. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after the termination shall not constitute a consent to a holdover or result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Section are in addition to and do not affect Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or at law.

SECTION 15.2. MERGER ON TERMINATION. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual termination of this Lease, shall terminate any or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option, elects in writing to treat the surrender or termination as an assignment to it of any or all subleases affecting the Premises.

SECTION 15.3. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 of this Lease and of the Work Letter attached hereto, upon the Expiration Date or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order, condition and repair as when received or as hereafter may be improved by Landlord or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, casualty, condemnation and repairs which are Landlord’s obligation excepted, and shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all personal property, removable trade fixtures, and equipment and debris and perform all work required under Section 7.3 of this Lease and/or the Work Letter attached hereto (including the “Restoration Requirement” as defined in the Work Letter) as to Replacements of Non-Standard Improvements and removal of Alterations, except for any items that Landlord may by written authorization allow to remain. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from the removal, which repair shall include the patching and filling of holes and repair of structural damage, provided that Landlord may instead elect to repair any structural damage at Tenant’s expense. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make any repairs, and the cost to Landlord shall be additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s personal property from the Premises upon the expiration of the Term, Landlord may remove, store, dispose of and/or retain such personal property, at Landlord’s option, in accordance with then applicable laws, all at the expense of Tenant. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in the Premises.

 

26


ARTICLE XVI. PAYMENTS AND NOTICES

All sums payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be deemed to be rent under this Lease and shall be paid, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at the address specified in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or at any other place as Landlord may designate in writing. Unless this Lease expressly provides otherwise, as for example in the payment of Basic Rent and the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, all payments shall be due and payable within five (5) days after demand. All payments requiring proration shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the pertinent calendar month or year, as applicable. Any notice, election, demand, consent, approval or other communication to be given or other document to be delivered by either party to the other may be delivered in person or by courier or overnight delivery service to the other party, or may be deposited in the United States mail, duly registered or certified, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and addressed to the other party at the address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Either party may, by written notice to the other, served in the manner provided in this Article, designate a different address. If any notice or other document is sent by mail, duly registered or certified, it shall be deemed served or delivered three (3) business days after mailing. If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant under this Lease, service of any notice upon any one of them shall be deemed as service upon all of them.

ARTICLE XVII. RULES AND REGULATIONS

Tenant agrees to observe faithfully and comply strictly with the Rules and Regulations, attached as Exhibit E, and any reasonable and nondiscriminatory amendments, modifications and/or additions as may be adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good order, or cleanliness of the Premises, Building, Site and Common Areas. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any violation of the Rules and Regulations or the breach of any covenant or condition in any lease by any other tenant or such tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees. One or more waivers by Landlord of any breach of the Rules and Regulations by Tenant or by any other tenant(s) shall not be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that rule or any other. Tenant’s failure to keep and observe the Rules and Regulations shall constitute a breach of this Lease. In the case of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, this Lease shall be controlling.

ARTICLE XVIII. BROKER’S COMMISSION

The parties recognize as the broker(s) who negotiated this Lease the firm(s), whose name(s) is (are) stated in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Provisions, and agree that Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to those broker(s) unless otherwise provided in this Lease. It is understood and agreed that Landlord’s Broker represents only Landlord in this transaction and that Tenant’s Broker (if any) represents only Tenant. Each party warrants that it has had no dealings with any other real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, and agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any cost, expense or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other real estate broker or agent employed by the indemnifying party in connection with the negotiation of this Lease. The foregoing agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE XIX. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST

In the event of any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, provided the transferee assumes in writing the transferor’s obligations under this Lease accruing from and after the effective date of said transfer, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all further obligations on the part of Landlord, and the transferor shall be relieved of any obligation to pay any funds in which Tenant has an interest to the extent that such funds have been turned over, subject to that interest, to the transferee and Tenant is notified of the transfer as required by law. No beneficiary of a deed of trust to which this Lease is or may be subordinate, and no landlord under a so-called sale-leaseback, shall be responsible in connection with the Security Deposit, unless the mortgagee or beneficiary under the deed of trust or the landlord actually receives the Security Deposit. It is intended that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to the foregoing, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and with respect to obligations arising during their respective successive periods of ownership.

ARTICLE XX. INTERPRETATION

SECTION 20.1. GENDER AND NUMBER. Whenever the context of this Lease requires, the words “Landlord” and “Tenant” shall include the plural as well as the singular, and words used in neuter, masculine or feminine genders shall include the others.

SECTION 20.2. HEADINGS. The captions and headings of the articles and sections of this Lease are for convenience only, are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon its construction or interpretation.

SECTION 20.3. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant, the obligations imposed upon each shall be joint and several and the act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of, any one or more of them shall be binding on all of them with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension, termination or modification of this Lease.

SECTION 20.4. SUCCESSORS. Subject to Articles IX and XIX, all rights and liabilities given to or imposed upon Landlord and Tenant shall extend to and bind their respective heirs, executors, administrators,

 

27


successors and assigns. Nothing contained in this Section is intended, or shall be construed, to grant to any person other than Landlord and Tenant and their successors and assigns any rights or remedies under this Lease.

SECTION 20.5. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease.

SECTION 20.6. CONTROLLING LAW/VENUE. This Lease shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any litigation commenced concerning any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected to this Lease shall be initiated in the Superior Court of the county in which the Site is located.

SECTION 20.7. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Lease, the deletion of which would not adversely affect the receipt of any material benefit by either party or the deletion of which is consented to by the party adversely affected, shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

SECTION 20.8. WAIVER AND CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. One or more waivers by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease shall not be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition. Consent to any act by one of the parties shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of that party’s consent to any subsequent act. No breach by Tenant of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless the waiver is in a writing signed by Landlord. The rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall be cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies which Landlord may have.

SECTION 20.9. INABILITY TO PERFORM. In the event that either party shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any work or in performing any act required under this Lease by reason of any cause beyond the reasonable control of that party, other than financial inability, then the performance of the work or the doing of the act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the time for performance shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of the delay. The provisions of this Section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of rent or from the timely performance of any other obligation under this Lease within Tenant’s reasonable control.

SECTION 20.10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease and its exhibits and other attachments cover in full each and every agreement of every kind between the parties concerning the Premises, the Building and the Site, and all preliminary negotiations, oral agreements, understandings and/or practices, except those contained in this Lease, are superseded and of no further effect. Tenant waives its rights to rely on any representations or promises made by Landlord or others which are not contained in this Lease. No verbal agreement or implied covenant shall be held to modify the provisions of this Lease, any statute, law, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 20.11. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon the observance and performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, and subject to the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of quiet enjoyment and use of the Premises for the Term without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person claiming by or through Landlord.

SECTION 20.12. SURVIVAL. All covenants of Landlord or Tenant which reasonably would be intended to survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, including without limitation any warranty or indemnity hereunder, shall so survive and continue to be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties and their successors and assigns.

SECTION 20.13. INTERPRETATION. This Lease shall not be construed in favor of or against either party, but shall be construed as if both parties prepared this Lease.

ARTICLE XXI. EXECUTION AND RECORDING

ARTICLE XXII. MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 22.1. NONDISCLOSURE OF LEASE TERMS. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that it, and its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and attorneys, shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose, by public filings or otherwise, the terms and conditions of this Lease (“Confidential Information”) to any third party, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. The foregoing restriction shall not apply if either: (i) Tenant is required to disclose the Confidential Information in response to a subpoena or other regulatory, administrative or court order, (ii) Tenant is required to disclose the Confidential Information to, or file a copy of this Lease with, any governmental agency or any stock exchange; provided however, that if disclosure of the Confidential Information is required by subpoena or other regulatory, administrative or court order, Tenant shall provide Landlord with as much advance notice of the possibility of such disclosure as practical so that Landlord may attempt to stop such disclosure or obtain an order concerning such disclosure. In addition, Tenant may disclose the terms of this Lease (i) to prospective assignees of this Lease and prospective subtenants under this Lease with whom Tenant is actively negotiating such an assignment or sublease, (ii) to Tenant’s attorneys, accountants and financial advisors, and (iii) in connection with any acquisition of Tenant by merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action, a sale of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, any sale or transfer of Tenant’s capital stock or any financing by, or any current or potential future investment in Tenant.

SECTION 22.2. Intentionally deleted.

SECTION 22.3. CHANGES REQUESTED BY LENDER. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Site, the lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to the financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, provided that the modifications do not materially increase the obligations of Tenant or materially and adversely affect the leasehold interest created by this Lease.

SECTION 22.4. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would otherwise entitle Tenant to be relieved of its obligations hereunder shall result in such a release or termination unless (a) Tenant has given notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises whose address has been furnished to Tenant in writing and (b) such beneficiary is afforded a reasonable opportunity to cure the default by Landlord (which in no event shall be less than sixty (60) days), including, if necessary to effect the cure, time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure provided that such foreclosure remedy is diligently pursued. Tenant agrees that each beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises is an express third party beneficiary hereof, Tenant shall have no right or claim for the collection of any deposit from such beneficiary or from any purchaser at a foreclosure sale unless such beneficiary or purchaser shall have actually received and not refunded the deposit, and Tenant shall comply with any written directions by any beneficiary to pay rent due hereunder directly to such beneficiary without determining whether a default exists under such beneficiary’s deed of trust.

SECTION 22.5. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All of the provisions of this Lease shall be construed to be conditions as well as covenants as though the words specifically expressing or imparting covenants and conditions were used in each separate provision.

SECTION 22.6. SECURITY MEASURES. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit of the Premises or the Site. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees and property from acts of third parties. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Landlord, at its sole option, from providing security protection for the Site or any part thereof, in which event the cost thereof shall be included within the definition of Site Costs.

SECTION 22.7. SDN LIST. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that neither Tenant nor any officer, director, employee, partner, member or other principal of Tenant (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) is listed as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person (“SDN”) on the list of such persons and entities issued by the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). In the event Tenant or any Tenant Party is or becomes

 

29


listed as an SDN, Tenant shall be deemed in breach of this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease immediately upon written notice to Tenant.

SECTION 22.8. JAMS.

(a) All claims or disputes between Landlord and Tenant arising out of, or relating to the Lease which either party is expressly authorized by a provision hereof to submit to arbitration, shall be decided by the JAMS/ENDISPUTE, or its successor, in Orange County, California (“JAMS”), unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Within ten (10) business days following submission to JAMS, JAMS shall designate three arbitrators and each party may, within five (5) business days thereafter, veto one of the three persons so designated. If two different designated arbitrators have been vetoed, the third arbitrator shall hear and decide the matter. Any arbitration pursuant to this Section 22.8 shall be decided within thirty (30) days of submission of JAMS. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. In no event shall the arbitrator be empowered or authorized to award consequential or punitive damages (including any award for lost profit or opportunity costs or loss or interruption of business or income). All costs associated with arbitration shall be awarded to the prevailing party as determined by the arbitrator.

(b) Notice of the demand for arbitration by either party to the Lease shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Lease and with JAMS and shall be made within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except by written consent of the person or entity sought to be joined, no arbitration arising out of or relating to the Lease shall include, by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, any person or entity not a party to the Lease under which such arbitration is filed unless (1) such person or entity is substantially involved in a common question of fact or law, (2) the presence of such person or entity is required if complete relief is to be accorded in the arbitration, or (3) the interest or responsibility of such person or entity in the matter is not insubstantial.

(c) The agreement herein among the parties to the Lease and any other written agreement to arbitrate referred to herein shall be specifically enforceable under prevailing law.

SECTION 22.9. APPROVALS. Whenever this Lease requires an approval, consent, determination, selection or judgment by either Landlord or Tenant, unless another standard is expressly set forth, such approval, consent, determination, selection or judgment and any conditions imposed thereby shall be reasonable and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

EXHIBIT C

LANDLORD’S DISCLOSURES

SPECTRUM

The capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease. The provisions of this Exhibit shall supersede any inconsistent or conflicting provisions of the Lease.

1. Landlord has been informed that the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) has been listed as a Federal Superfund site as a result of chemical releases occurring over many years of occupancy. Various chemicals including jet fuel, motor oil and solvents have been discharged in several areas throughout the MCAS site. A regional study conducted by the Orange County Water District has estimated that groundwaters beneath more than 2,900 acres have been impacted by Trichloroethlene (TCE), an industrial solvent. There is a potential that this substance may have migrated into the ground water underlying the Premises. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Santa Ana Region Quality Control Board, and the Orange County Health Care Agency are overseeing the investigation/cleanup of this contamination. To the Landlord’s current actual knowledge, the ground water in this area is used for irrigation purposes only, and there is no practical impediment to the use or occupancy of the Premises due to the El Toro discharges.


EXHIBIT D

TENANT’S INSURANCE

The following requirements for Tenant’s insurance shall be in effect at the Building, and Tenant shall also cause any subtenant to comply with these requirements. Landlord reserves the right to adopt reasonable nondiscriminatory modifications and additions to these insurance requirements after the expiration of the initial 63-month Term of this Lease. Tenant agrees to obtain and present evidence to Landlord that it has fully complied with the insurance requirements.

1. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, commencing on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any purpose and during the entire Term, procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect: (i) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Premises and the operations of or on behalf of Tenant in, on or about the Premises, including but not limited to coverage for personal injury, contractual liability, independent contractors, broad form property damage, fire legal liability, products liability (if a product is sold from the Premises), and liquor law liability (if alcoholic beverages are sold, served or consumed within the Premises), which policy(ies) shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and for not less than the amount set forth in Item 14 of the Basic Lease Provisions, with a combined single limit (with a $50,000 minimum limit on fire legal liability) per occurrence for bodily injury, death, and property damage liability, or the current limit of liability carried by Tenant, whichever is greater; (ii) workers’ compensation insurance coverage as required by law, together with employers’ liability insurance of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); (iii) with respect to Alterations and the like required or permitted to be made by Tenant under this Lease, builder’s risk insurance in an amount equal to the replacement cost of the work; (iv) insurance against fire, vandalism, malicious mischief and such other additional perils as may be included in a standard “special form” policy, insuring Tenant’s Alterations, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and items of personal property of Tenant located in the Premises, in an amount equal to not less than ninety percent (90%) of their actual replacement cost (with replacement cost endorsement); and (v) business interruption coverage in amounts satisfactory to cover one (1) year of loss. In no event shall the limits of any policy be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease.

2. In the event Landlord consents to Tenant’s use, generation or storage of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the continuing right to require Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (provided the same is available for purchase upon commercially reasonable terms), to purchase insurance specified and approved by Landlord, with coverage not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), insuring (i) any Hazardous Materials shall be removed from the Premises, (ii) the Premises shall be restored to a clean, healthy, safe and sanitary condition, and (iii) any liability of Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and representatives, arising from such Hazardous Materials.

3. All policies of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Exhibit D shall be written by responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California and with a general policyholder rating of not less than “A-” and financial rating of not less than “VIII” in the most current Best’s Insurance Report. The deductible or other retained limit under any policy carried by Tenant shall be commercially reasonable, and Tenant shall be responsible for payment of such retained limit with full waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord. Any insurance required of Tenant may be furnished by Tenant under any blanket policy carried by it or under a separate policy. A true and exact copy of each paid up policy evidencing the insurance (appropriately authenticated by the insurer) or a certificate of insurance, certifying that the policy has been issued, provides the coverage required by this Exhibit D and contains the required provisions, together with endorsements acceptable to Landlord evidencing the waiver of subrogation and additional insured provisions required below, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the date Tenant is given the right of possession of the Premises. Proper evidence of the renewal of any insurance coverage shall also be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the coverage. In the event of a loss covered by any policy under which Landlord is an additional insured, Landlord shall be entitled to review a copy of such policy.

4. Each policy evidencing insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Exhibit D shall contain the following provisions and/or clauses reasonably satisfactory to Landlord: (i) with respect to Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance, a provision that the policy and the coverage provided shall be primary and that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be in excess of and noncontributory with respect to any policies carried by Tenant, together with a provision including Landlord, the Additional Insureds identified in Item 11 of the Basic Lease Provisions and any other parties in interest designated by Landlord, as additional insureds; (ii) except with respect to Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance, a waiver by the insurer of any right to subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors and representatives which arises or might arise by reason of any payment under the policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or representatives; and (iii) a provision that the insurer will not cancel or reduce the coverage provided by the policy without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice. Tenant shall also name Landlord, the Additional Insureds identified in Item 11 of the Basic Lease Provisions and any other parties in interest designated by Landlord, as additional insureds on any excess or umbrella liability insurance policy carried by Tenant to the extent required under this Lease.

5. In the event that Tenant fails to procure, maintain and/or pay for, at the times and for the durations specified in this Exhibit D, any insurance required by this Exhibit D, or fails to carry insurance required by any governmental authority, Landlord may at its election procure that insurance and pay the premiums, in which event

 

1


Tenant shall repay Landlord all sums paid by Landlord, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law and any related costs or expenses incurred by Landlord, within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand to Tenant.

NOTICE TO TENANT: IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE, TENANT MUST PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE REQUIRED INSURANCE TO LANDLORD’S MANAGEMENT AGENT PRIOR TO BEING AFFORDED ACCESS TO THE PREMISES.

EXHIBIT X

INDUSTRIAL WORK LETTER

DOLLAR ALLOWANCE

[PREAPPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAN]

The tenant improvement work to be contracted for by Landlord hereunder (“Tenant Improvement Work”) shall consist of the design and construction of all tenant improvements (“Tenant Improvements”), including work in place as of the date hereof, required for the Premises pursuant to the approved final Working Drawings and Specifications (as hereinafter defined). All of the Tenant Improvement Work shall be performed by Rosetti Construction Co. (the “Contractor”) and in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth below.

I. ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES.

 

  A. Prior to the execution of this Lease, Tenant and Landlord have approved a preliminary plan dated February 25, 2008 (the “Preliminary Plan”) for the Tenant Improvements prepared by Rengel & Co. Architects (“Architect”). A copy of the Preliminary Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit X-1. The Tenant Improvements Work shall include the work shown on the Preliminary Plan. Except as otherwise noted in the Preliminary Plan, the Tenant Improvements Work shall include Landlord’s building standard tenant improvements, materials and specifications for the Site as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto (“Building Standard Improvements”).

 

  B. Within ten (10) days following any request from Landlord, Tenant shall provide in writing to Landlord or the Architect all specifications and information requested by Landlord for the preparation of final construction documents and costing, including without limitation Tenant’s final selection of paint and floor finishes, complete specifications and locations (including electrical, load and HVAC requirements) of Tenant’s equipment (collectively, “Programming Information”). Tenant understands that final construction documents for the Tenant Improvements shall be predicated on the Programming Information, and accordingly that such information must be accurate and complete and that Landlord shall have no obligation or liability for any defects or problems arising from any incomplete or inaccurate Programming Information.

 

  C. Not later than three (3) weeks following the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall cause the Architect and Landlord’s selected engineers to prepare and deliver to Tenant working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements based on the approved Preliminary Plan (“Working Drawings and Specifications”). Upon approval of the Working Drawings and Specifications, Landlord shall prepare a final construction cost estimate (“Final Cost Estimate”) of the Completion Cost for the Tenant Improvements in conformity with the Working Drawings and Specifications. A copy of the Final Cost Estimate shall be delivered to Tenant for its approval. Tenant shall have five (5) business days from the receipt thereof to approve or disapprove the Working Drawings and Specifications and (if delivered to Tenant) the Final Cost Estimate. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval, and any disapproval or requested modification shall be limited to items not consistent with the approved Preliminary Plan, subject to Tenant’s right to request a Change pursuant to Section 1.D below. Should Tenant disapprove the Working Drawings and Specifications or the Final Cost Estimate, such disapproval shall be accompanied by specific reasons for disapproval and a detailed list of requested revisions. The parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on revisions to the Working Drawings and Specifications and the Final Cost estimate as a consequence of such revisions. Any revision so requested by Tenant and accepted by Landlord shall be incorporated into a revised set of Working Drawings and Specifications, and the Final Cost Estimate, and Tenant shall approve same in writing within five (5) business days of receipt without further revision. Landlord shall enter into a “lump /sum” or “fixed price” construction contract with the Contractor for construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the approved and final Working Drawings and Specifications (“TI Contract”). The Contractor is the contractor only of Landlord and Tenant shall have no liability to the Contractor or under the TI Contract.

 

  D.

In the event that Tenant subsequently requests in writing a revision to the Working Drawings and Specifications approved by the parties pursuant to Section I.C above (“Change”), and Landlord so approves such Change as provided in Section I.E. herein, Landlord shall advise Tenant by written change order (“Change Order”) as soon as is practical of any net cost increase in the Completion Cost above the Final Cost Estimate (taking into account any cost savings attributable to such Change Order together with previous Change Orders). Tenant shall approve or disapprove such Change Order in writing within two (2) business days following Tenant’s receipt of such Change Order. If Tenant approves any such Change Order, Landlord, at its election, may either (i) require as a condition to the effectiveness of such Change Order that Tenant pay the cost increase in the Completion Cost set forth in such Change Order in excess of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution concurrently with delivery of Tenant’s approval of the Change Order, or (ii) defer Tenant’s payment of such increase until the date ten (10) days after delivery of invoices for same, provided however,

 

1


 

that such payment must in any event be paid in full prior to Tenant’s commencing occupancy of the Premises. If Tenant disapproves any such Change Order, Tenant shall nonetheless be responsible for the reasonable architectural and/or planning fees incurred in preparing such Change Order. Landlord shall have no obligation to interrupt or modify the Tenant Improvement Work pending Tenant’s approval of a Change Order, but if Tenant fails to timely approve a Change Order, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) suspend the applicable Tenant Improvement Work. In no event shall Landlord have the right to make any revisions to the Working Drawings and Specifications without Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

  E. Landlord agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant’s requested Changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall in no event be required to approve any Non-Standard Improvement if Landlord determines that such requested Change (i) is of a lesser quality than the corresponding Tenant Improvements previously approved by Landlord, (ii) fails to conform to applicable governmental requirements, (iii) would result in the Premises requiring building services beyond the level normally provided to other tenants, (iv) interferes in any manner with the proper functioning of, or Landlord’s access to, any mechanical, electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems, facilities or equipment in or serving the Building, or (v) would have an adverse aesthetic impact to the Premises or cause additional expenses to Landlord in reletting the Premises.

 

  F. All Tenant Improvements shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term; except that Landlord may, by notice to Tenant given at the time of Landlord’s approval of any Non-Standard Improvements incorporated into the Tenant Improvements as a “Change,” require Tenant either to remove all or any of the Non-Standard Tenant Improvements approved by way of such Change, to repair any damage to the Premises or the Common Areas arising from such removal, and to replace any Non-Standard Improvements approved by way of such Change with the applicable Building Standard, or to reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such removal, repair and replacement upon demand. Any such removals, repairs and replacements by Tenant shall be completed by the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease. In addition to the foregoing restoration obligation(s), Tenant shall also be required to remove, repair and replace the premises as shown on Schedule 2 attached to this Work Letter, including without limitation, the restoration of all lighting, ceiling tiles, flooring and related electrical work to their condition prior to the date of this Lease (the “Restoration Requirement”). Such removal, repairs and replacements by Tenant shall be completed by the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall be contractually obligated to lease the Premises for at least one hundred twenty (120) months from and after the Commencement Date of this Lease (and this Lease shall not be terminated at any time during said 120 months due to Tenant’s default), then the Restoration Requirement shall be waived in its entirety.

 

  G. [Intentionally Deleted]

 

  H. Landlord shall permit Tenant and its agents to enter the Premises for at least fourteen (14) days prior to the Early Occupancy Date of the Lease in order that Tenant may install fixtures, furniture, cabling, related telecommunication equipment, and other personal property through Tenant’s own contractors prior to the Early Occupancy Date. Any such work shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, and shall be performed in a manner and upon terms and conditions and at times satisfactory to Landlord’s representative. The foregoing license to enter the Premises prior to the Early Occupancy Date is, however, conditioned upon Tenant’s contractors and their subcontractors and employees working in harmony and not interfering with the work being performed by Landlord as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If at any time that entry shall cause disharmony or interfere with the work being performed by Landlord as defined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, this license may be withdrawn by Landlord upon twenty-four (24) hours written notice to Tenant. That license is further conditioned upon the compliance by Tenant’s contractors with all requirements imposed by Landlord on third party contractors, including without limitation the maintenance by Tenant and its contractors and subcontractors of workers’ compensation and public liability and property damage insurance in amounts and with companies and on forms satisfactory to Landlord, with certificates of such insurance being furnished to Landlord prior to proceeding with any such entry. The entry shall be deemed to be under all of the provisions of the Lease except as to the covenants to pay rent. Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any such work being performed by Tenant, the same being solely at Tenant’s risk. In no event shall the failure of Tenant’s contractors to complete any work in the Premises extend either the Early Occupancy Date or the Commencement Date of this Lease.

 

  I.

Tenant hereby designates Kevin Cousins (“Tenant’s Construction Representative”), Telephone No. (949)  ###-###-####, as its agent for all matters related to the Tenant Improvement Work, including but not by way of limitation, for purposes of receiving notices, approving submittals and issuing requests for Changes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely upon authorizations and directives of such person(s) as if given directly by Tenant. The foregoing authorization is intended to provide assurance to Landlord that it may rely upon the directives and decision making of the Tenant’s Construction Representative with respect to the Tenant Improvement Work and is not

 

2


 

intended to limit or reduce Landlord’s right to reasonably rely upon any decisions or directives given by other officers or representatives of Tenant. Tenant may amend the designation of its Tenant’s Construction Representative(s) at any time upon delivery of written notice to Landlord.

II. COST OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

 

  A. Landlord shall complete, or cause to be completed, the Tenant Improvements, at the construction cost shown in the Final Cost Estimate (subject to increases for Landlord approved Changes to be paid by Tenant as set forth in this Work Letter), in accordance with final Working Drawings and Specifications approved by both Landlord and Tenant. The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed by Landlord in accordance with all rules, regulations, codes, ordinances, statutes, and laws of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority in effect as of the date of the issuance of the applicable building permit(s) therefor, and in a good and workman-like manner using material and equipment of new and otherwise of good quality. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain standard warranties on the HVAC units installed pursuant to this Work Letter and for other elements of the Tenant Improvements that Tenant is responsible for maintaining under the Lease and shall assign to Tenant, or otherwise cooperate to make available to Tenant the benefit of, all such warranties.

 

  B. Landlord shall pay up to Three Hundred Ten Thousand Five Hundred Fifteen Dollars ($310,515.00), based on $7.50 per rentable square foot of the Premises (“Landlord’s Maximum Contribution”), of the final “Completion Cost” (as defined below). Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution is intended only as the maximum amount Landlord will pay toward approved Tenant Improvements, and not by way of limitation, any partitions, modular office stations, fixtures, cabling, furniture and equipment requested by Tenant are in no event subject to payment as part of Landlord’s Contribution. In the event the Completion Cost for the Tenant Improvements is less than the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution, Landlord’s actual contribution toward the Completion Cost (“Landlord’s Contribution”) shall equal such lesser amount, and Tenant shall have no right to receive any credit, refund or allowance of any kind for any unused portion of the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution nor shall Tenant be allowed to make revisions to an approved Preliminary Plan, Working Drawings and Specifications or request a Change in an effort to apply any unused portion of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution.

 

  C. Tenant shall pay the difference between Final Cost Estimate and Landlord’s Maximum Contribution, plus any net increases above the Final Cost Estimate as set forth in approved Change Orders, to the extent such Tenant Delay costs or Change Order costs exceed the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution. The amounts to be paid by Tenant for the Tenant Improvements pursuant to this Section II.C are sometimes cumulatively referred to herein as the “Tenant’s Contribution”. Tenant shall pay the Tenant’s Contribution, if any, within thirty (30) days of (i) the determination of the Final Cost Estimate, and (ii) the determination of any increases caused by a Change Order, pursuant to the provisions of this Work Letter.

 

  D. The “Completion Cost” shall mean all costs of Landlord in completing the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the approved Working Drawings and Specifications, including but not limited to the following: (i) payments made to the Contractor, the Architect, engineers, subcontractors and other third party consultants in the performance of the work, (ii) salaries and fringe benefits of persons, if any, in the direct employ of Landlord performing any part of the construction work, (iii) permit fees and other sums paid to governmental agencies, and (iv) costs of all materials incorporated into the work or used in connection with the work. The Completion Cost shall also include an administrative/supervision fee to be paid to Landlord or to Landlord’s management agent in the amount of five percent (5%) of the Completion Cost. Unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord, the Completion Cost shall not include (and no portion of the Landlord Contribution shall be paid for) any costs incurred by Tenant, including without limitation, any costs for space planners, managers, advisors or consultants retained by Tenant in connection with the Tenant Improvements and shall not include (a) costs for improvements which are not shown on or described in the Working Drawings and Specification unless otherwise approved by Tenant; (b) costs incurred due to the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Site or the surrounding area; (c) attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with negotiation of construction contracts, and attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and other costs in connection with disputes with third parties; (d) interest and other costs of financing construction costs; or (e) costs to bring the Premises into compliance with applicable laws and restrictions.

 

  E. Prior to start of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in full the amount of the Tenant’s Contribution set forth in the Final Cost Estimate (once approved by Tenant). The balance of any sums not otherwise paid by Tenant shall be due and payable on or before the Commencement Date of this Lease. If Tenant defaults beyond cure periods in the payment of any sums due under this Work Letter, Landlord shall (in addition to all other remedies) have the same rights as in the case of Tenant’s failure to pay rent under the Lease, including, without limitation, the right to terminate this Lease and recover damages from Tenant and/or to charge a late payment fee and to collect interest on delinquent payments, and Landlord may (but shall not be required to) suspend the Tenant Improvement Work following such default.

III. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

All claims or disputes between Landlord and Tenant arising out of, or relating to, this Work Letter shall be decided by JAMS pursuant to Section 22.8 of the Lease.

 

IV. LANDLORD’S WORK

In addition to the foregoing, prior to the Early Occupancy Date, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost, (a) install automatic timers on all HVAC units serving the Premises, to automatically “turn on” and “turn off” such units, (b) patch all roof leaks and ensure that the roof is in good condition and (c) replace [9] of the existing HVAC units serving the Premises. Landlord shall perform such work in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all laws. With respect to the roof or equipment serving the Premises that are covered by a warranty, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have any necessary repairs covered by such warranty performed pursuant to such warranty.
