Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent during the second (2nd) through eighth (8th) full calendar months of the initial Term (such total amount of abated Monthly Base Rent being hereinafter referred to as the “Abated Amount”). During such abatement period, Tenant will still be responsible for the payment of all other monetary obligations under the Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses. Tenant acknowledges that any default by Tenant under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, therefore, should Tenant at any time during the Term be in default after having been given notice and opportunity to cure, then the total unamortized sum of such Abated Amount (amortized on a straight line basis over the initial Term of this Lease) so conditionally excused shall become recoverable by Landlord as part of its default damages. Upon reasonable notice to Tenant at any time prior to application of the entire Abated Amount, Landlord shall have the right to purchase from Tenant any and all then remaining Abated Amount as it applies to one or more of the remaining abatement months by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the unused balance of the Abated Amount that Landlord elects to purchase back from Tenant (the “Abated Amount Purchase Price”). Upon Landlord’s payment to Tenant of the Abated Amount Purchase Price with respect to the applicable remaining abatement months, Tenant shall thereupon be required to pay Monthly Base Rent during such months in an amount equal to the Abated Amount that Tenant would have been entitled to receive but for Landlord’s payment to Tenant of the Abated Amount Purchase Price.

1.9 Letter of Credit: $310,969.80

1.10 Permitted Use: General office use, and a laboratory for research and development of Tenant’s non-hazardous products (the “Lab”), subject to the provisions set forth in this Lease and as permitted by Law.

1.11 Parking: Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to lease up to fifty-five (55) unreserved parking spaces, currently at the following rate per space per month: $50.00 per unreserved space; provided, however, Tenant’s obligation to pay for Tenant’s unreserved parking spaces shall be abated during the first eighteen (18) full calendar months of the initial Term. Further, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to convert up to ten percent (10%) of such unreserved parking spaces to reserved parking spaces, subject to the availability of such spaces at such time, at Landlord’s then prevailing rate for reserved parking spaces, which rate is currently $150.00 per reserved space per month. All parking shall be subject to the terms of Section 1.22 of this Lease Summary and Article 11 of the Standard Lease Provisions. Tenant’s parking spaces shall be located in Parking Structure PS#1 located adjacent to the Building as shown on the Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B. Visitor parking is available in the visitor parking areas of the surface parking lots and parking structures in the Project, subject to the terms of the REA described in Section 1.17 below.

1.12 Brokers: CBRE, Inc., and Cushman & Wakefield, representing Landlord, and Jones Lang LaSalle Brokerage, Inc., representing Tenant.

f. Loss of Income, Extra Expense and Business Interruption Insurance: In such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for 12 months of direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises, Tenant’s parking areas or to the Building as a result of such perils.

1.15 Tenant Improvements: The improvements previously installed in the Premises, if any, and the tenant improvements to be installed in the Premises by Tenant as described in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Work Letter”). Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an allowance of up to eighty dollars ($80.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., up to $1,093,520.00, based on the Premises consisting of approximately 13,669 rentable square feet, hereinafter referred to as the “Allowance”), to be applied as provided in the Work Letter.

As used in this Lease, “Utilities Costs” shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Facility and the Project calculated assuming the Facility and the Project are at least one hundred percent (100%) occupied, including but not limited to water, sewer and electricity, and the costs of heating, ventilating and air conditioning and other utilities (but excluding those charges for which tenants are individually responsible) as well as related fees, assessments and surcharges. For purposes of determining the Base Costs with respect to Utilities Costs, Utilities Costs shall not include any one time special charges, costs or fees or any extraordinary charges or costs incurred in the Base Year only, including, without limitation, temporary utility rate increases and other costs arising from extraordinary market circumstances such as by way of example, boycotts, black-outs, brown-outs, the leasing of auxiliary power supply equipment, embargoes, strikes or other shortages of services or fuel (whether or not such shortages are deemed actual or manufactured), or any temporary conservation surcharges, or any penalties or fines incurred by Landlord. Furthermore, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Lease, if at any time after the Commencement Date, the amount of Utilities Costs decreases, then for purposes of the calendar year in which such decrease in Utilities Costs occurs, and for all subsequent calendar years, the Base Costs with respect to Utilities Costs shall be reduced by an amount equal to such decrease in Utilities Costs. Such decrease in the Base Costs of Utilities Costs shall not be limited to the initial decrease, if any, but may, at Landlord’s election, be subject to decrease annually upon each subsequent decrease in Utilities Costs

i. Cost Pools. Tenant acknowledges that Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs, and Utilities Costs are currently calculated by allocating to the Building its proportionate share of costs which are common to the entire Facility or entire Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate into separate cost pools (“Cost Pools”) some or all of the Facility Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs or Utilities Costs among different tenants, buildings and/or premises of the Facility based upon differing levels of use, demand, risk or other distinctions among such tenants, buildings or premises, and the REA Managing Agent has the right, from time to time, as provided in the REA, to equitably allocate into separate Cost Pools some or all of the Project Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs or Utilities Costs among different tenants, buildings and/or premises of the Project based upon differing levels of use, demand, risk or other distinctions among such tenants, buildings or premises as provided in the REA. Such Facility Cost Pools may include, for example, office space Facility Operating Expenses as distinguished from retail space Facility Operating Expenses and such Project Cost Pools may distinguish among Project Occupants and Permittees utilizing some but not all Project Common Areas, such as certain Parking Facilities or Project services, such as security, etc. Accordingly, in the event of such allocations into Cost Pools, Tenant’s Percentage, the Building Percentage of Facility, and/or the Facility Percentage of Project as to such Cost Pools shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such Cost Pool allocations. In addition, if Landlord does not furnish a particular service or work (the cost of which, if furnished by Landlord would be included in Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs or Utilities Costs) to a tenant (other than Tenant) that has undertaken to perform such service or work in lieu of receiving it from Landlord, then Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and/or Utilities Costs, as applicable, shall be considered to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and/or Utilities Costs that Landlord would reasonably have incurred had Landlord furnished such service or work to that tenant, or Landlord may adjust the allocable share of the remaining common costs for such service as among those tenants who share in services or work provided by Landlord, excluding the tenant(s) providing such service or work for themselves.

j. Excess Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs. In addition to the Monthly Base Rent required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 1.8 above, during each month during the Term (after the Base Year), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount by which Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs for such calendar year exceeds the Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs for the Base Year, respectively (such amounts shall be referred to in this Section 1.18 as the “Excess Expenses,” “Excess Taxes,” “Excess Insurance Costs,” and “Excess Utilities Costs” respectively), in the manner and at the times set forth in the following provisions of this Section 1.18. No reduction in Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs or Utilities Costs after the Base Year will reduce the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder or entitle Tenant to receive a credit against future installments of Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs, Utilities Costs or other Additional Rent due hereunder. Landlord shall separately account for and invoice Tenant for Excess Operating Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs payable by Tenant hereunder.

k. Estimate Statement. By the first day of April (or as soon as practicable thereafter but not later than June 1) of each calendar year during the Term after the Base Year, Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement (“Estimate Statement”) estimating the Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs for the current calendar year and the estimated amount of Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs payable by Tenant. If at any time during the Term, but not more often than once in any calendar year, Landlord reasonably determines that the estimated amount of Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs payable by Tenant for the current calendar year will be greater or less than the amount set forth in the then current Estimate Statement, Landlord may issue a revised Estimate Statement and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of the revised Estimate Statement, the difference between the amount owed by Tenant under such revised Estimate Statement and the amount owed by Tenant under the original Estimate Statement for the portion of the then current calendar year which has expired. Thereafter Tenant agrees to pay Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs based on such revised Estimate Statement until Tenant receives the next calendar year’s Estimate Statement or a new revised Estimate Statement for the current calendar year. The Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance costs and/or Excess Utilities Costs shown on the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as applicable) shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with the regular monthly payment of Rent next due following the receipt of the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as applicable), an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of such Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar year in which such statement is submitted to the month of such payment, both

 

7


months inclusive (less any amounts previously paid by Tenant with respect to any previously delivered Estimate Statement or revised Estimate Statement for such calendar year). Subsequent installments shall be paid concurrently with the regular monthly payments of Rent for the balance of the calendar year and shall continue until the next calendar year’s Estimate Statement (or current calendar year’s revised Estimate Statement) is received.

l. Actual Statement. By the first day of June (or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than July 1) of each subsequent calendar year during the Term after the Base Year, Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement (“Actual Statement”) which states the Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs, and Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs payable by Tenant for the immediately preceding calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals that Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and/or Excess Utilities Costs were under-stated in any Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement) previously delivered by Landlord pursuant to Section 1.18 g. above, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Actual Statement to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any such under-payment. Such obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If the Actual Statement reveals that the Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and/or Excess Utilities Costs were over-stated in any Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement), Landlord will credit any overpayment toward the next monthly installment(s) of Rent due from Tenant. Prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Term and Landlord’s acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to estimate the actual Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs for the then current calendar year and to collect from Tenant prior to Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Tenant’s Percentage of any excess of such actual Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs over the estimated Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs paid by Tenant in such calendar year.

m. No Release. Any delay by Landlord in delivering any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement pursuant to this Section 1.18 as a result of Force Majeure or otherwise beyond the reasonable control of Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of its right to receive Tenant’s payment of Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs, nor shall it relieve Tenant of its obligations to pay Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs and Excess Utilities Costs pursuant to this Section 1.18, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement until thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement.

n. Exclusions from Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Section 1.18, the following items shall be excluded from Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs, as applicable: (i) Costs of decorating, redecorating, or special cleaning or other services provided to certain tenants and not provided on a regular basis to all tenants of the Facility; (ii) Any expenses of a capital nature other than Permitted Capital Expenses and/or any charge for depreciation of the Facility or equipment and any interest or other financing charge; (iii) All costs relating to activities for the marketing, solicitation, negotiation and execution of leases of space in the Facility, including without limitation, costs of tenant improvements; (iv) All costs for which Tenant or any other tenant in the Facility is being charged other than pursuant to the operating expense clauses of leases for the Facility; (v) The cost of correcting defects in the construction of the Facility or in the Facility equipment, except that conditions (not occasioned by construction defects) resulting from ordinary wear and tear will not be deemed defects for the purpose of this category; (vi) To the extent Landlord is reimbursed by third parties, the cost of repair made by Landlord because of the total or partial destruction of the Facility or the condemnation of a portion of the Facility; (vii) The cost of any items for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or otherwise compensated by parties other than tenants of the Facility pursuant to clauses similar to this paragraph; (viii) Any operating expense representing an amount paid to a related corporation, entity, or person which is in excess of the amount which would be paid in the absence of such relationship; (ix) The cost of any work or service performed for or facilities furnished to any tenant of the Facility to a greater extent or in a manner more favorable to such tenant than that performed for or furnished to Tenant; (x) The cost of alterations of space in the Facility leased to other tenants; (xi) Ground rent or similar payments to a ground lessor; (xii) Legal fees and related expenses incurred by Landlord (together with any damages awarded against Landlord) due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; (xiii) Costs arising from the presence of any Hazardous Materials within, upon or beneath the Project not introduced or caused to be released by Tenant; (xiv) Costs for sculpture, paintings or other objects of art in the Facility which exceed those typically incurred in other similar office buildings in the area in which the Facility is located; (xv) Salaries and compensation of ownership and management personnel above the level of General Manager or to the extent that such persons provide services to properties other than the Facility; (xvi) Costs of selling or financing the Facility; and (xvii) all items excluded from Common Area Operating Costs under the REA which includes (A) costs of construction or development except as specifically permitted in the REA; (B) depreciation on construction costs except as specifically permitted in the REA; (C) principal, interest or debt required to be paid on any mortgage or deed of trust except as specifically permitted in the REA; (D) the cost of special services, goods or materials provided to or specific costs incurred for the account of, or separately billed to, specific Project Occupants and Permittees; (E) costs associate with the general maintenance of any circulation easements which are located within buildings in the Project, except that costs of maintenance of elevators and escalators constructed solely in connection with such circulation systems may be included in Project Common Area Operating Costs; (F) any increase in Project Common Area Operating Costs attributable solely to the activity of a party to the REA or any Project Occupant or Permittee, and any such increase shall be charged directly to the party causing such increase as provided in the REA.

o. Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Percentage of “Controllable Expenses” (as defined below) shall not increase by more than seven percent (7%) of such Controllable Expenses per calendar year on a cumulative, compounded basis. As used herein, the term “Controllable Expenses” means all Operating Expenses other than (i) Utilities Costs, (ii) Taxes, and (iii) Insurance Costs.

p. Audit. Within ninety (90) days after receiving any Landlord’s Actual Statement, Tenant may, upon advance written notice to Landlord and during reasonable business hours, cause an audit of Landlord’s books and records with respect to the preceding calendar year only to determine the accuracy of Landlord’s Actual Statement as to Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs. Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the office of the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to review Landlord’s records, the agent shall be an independent accountant of regional standing, is not compensated on a contingency basis, and is also subject to a confidentiality agreement. Within ninety (90) days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to the Actual Statement of Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord’s Actual Statement shall be deemed final and binding, and Tenant shall have no further right to audit or object to such statement. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Expenses for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Expenses for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within thirty (30) days. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. All costs and expenses of any such review shall be paid by Tenant; provided, however, that if the amount of Operating Expenses used in such statement to calculate Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses (but not Taxes) is determined to have been overstated by Landlord by more than four percent (4.0%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the commercially reasonable, out of pocket hourly or flat fee costs and expenses paid by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s review not to exceed the amount of Operating Expenses to be refunded to Tenant. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Operating Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

1.19 Utilities and Services.

a. Standard Utilities and Services. So long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under any provisions of this Lease, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and the obligations of Tenant as set forth hereinbelow, Landlord shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the following utilities and services (Landlord reserves the right to adopt non-discriminatory modifications and additions to the following provisions from time to time):

(i) Landlord shall make the elevators of the Facility available for Tenant’s non-exclusive use, twenty-four (24) hours per day.

(ii) Landlord shall furnish during the Business Hours for the Facility specified in Section 1.21, HVAC for the Premises as required in Landlord’s judgment for the comfortable and normal office occupancy of the Premises. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the HVAC system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant’s adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 1.19, including keeping window coverings closed as needed. Such work shall be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeyman’s wages for HVAC mechanics. If Tenant desires HVAC at any time other than during the Business Hours for the Facility, Landlord shall provide such “after-hours” usage after advance reasonable request by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent (and not as part of the Operating Expenses) the actual cost, as fairly determined by Landlord, of such after-hours usage (as well as the cost of any HVAC used by Tenant in excess of what Landlord considers reasonable or normal), including any minimum hour charges for after-hours requests and any special startup costs for after-hours services which requires a special start-up (such as late evenings, weekends and holidays), which cost is currently $55.00 per hour per zone.

(iii) Landlord shall furnish to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, reasonable quantities of electric current as required in Landlord’s judgment for normal lighting and normal fractional horsepower office business machines, provided however, Landlord shall provide not less than five and one-half (5.5) watts/sf of electricity, exclusive of lighting and HVAC electrical needs to the Premises but any additional electrical panels, distributions of service or other adjustments to electrical service shall be part of Tenant Improvements payable by Tenant subject to application of the Allowance. In no event shall Tenant’s use of electric current ever exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation of the Building. Landlord shall also furnish water to the Building twenty-four (24) hours per day for drinking and lavatory purposes, in such quantities as required in Landlord’s judgment for the comfortable and normal use of the Building. If Tenant requires or consumes water or electrical power in excess of what is considered reasonable or normal by Landlord, Landlord may require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the cost as fairly determined by Landlord incurred for such excess usage.

(iv) Landlord shall furnish janitorial services to the Premises five (5) days per week (except for weekends and Facility Holidays) pursuant to janitorial and cleaning specifications as may be adopted by Landlord from time to time. Landlord shall not be required to provide other than Building standard janitorial services for portions of the Premises used for storage, mailroom, storage room or similar purposes, or preparing or consuming food or beverages, nor shall Landlord be required to provide janitorial services for areas secured, obstructed or locked by Tenant, or used as a lavatory, other than the common area lavatory rooms. No person(s) other than those persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for such purposes. Janitor service shall include ordinary dusting and cleaning by the janitor assigned to do such work and shall not include cleaning of carpets or rugs, except normal vacuuming, or moving of furniture, interior window cleaning, coffee or

 

9


eating area cleaning and other special services. Such additional services may be rendered by Landlord pursuant to written agreement with Tenant as to the extent of such services and the payment of the cost thereof. Janitor service will not be furnished on nights when rooms are occupied after 7:30 p.m. or to rooms which are locked unless a key is furnished to the Landlord for use by the janitorial contractor. Window cleaning shall be done only by Landlord, at such time and frequency as determined by Landlord at Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of the Premises as offices.

(v) Landlord shall provide security service or protection in the Facility twenty-four (24) hours per day, in a manner deemed reasonable for first class buildings in the area (“Comparable Buildings”) by Landlord at Landlord’s commercially reasonable discretion, from the Commencement Date throughout the Term. Landlord shall not be liable for losses due to theft, vandalism or similar causes. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to provide additional security equipment or personnel in the Premises, provided that Landlord is given reasonable access to the Premises and that any such security system installed by Tenant complies with all applicable codes and shall not create any material security risk to the Building or materially adversely affect the rights of other tenants in the Building. To the extent that it is feasible to link Tenant’s additional security equipment and system for the Premises, if any, to the security system for the Building, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to cause security access cards or other devices provided to Tenant for access to the Building to provide access to the Premises in connection with Tenant’s additional security system, provided that all costs associated with such linking of Landlord’s and Tenant’s security systems shall be borne solely by Tenant.

(vi) At Landlord’s option, Landlord may install water, electricity and/or HVAC meters in the Premises to measure Tenant’s consumption of such utilities, including any after-hours and extraordinary usage described above. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after demand, the cost of the installation, maintenance and repair of such meter(s).

The costs of Facility services shall be included in Operating Expenses and the cost of Facility utilities shall be included in Utilities Costs. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, provide additional services hereunder; provided, however, that if Landlord does provide such extra services, Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, an administration fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the reasonable cost of such additional service. All costs payable for excess, after-hours or above-standard services or utilities, as provided above, shall be due and payable at the same time as the installment of Monthly Base Rent with which the same are billed, or if billed separately, shall be due within ten (10) days after such billing.

Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time-to-time during the Term to contract for service from any company or companies providing electricity service (“Service Provider”), provided utilization of any such Service Provider shall not materially increase Tenant’s costs. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and the Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord and Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises. Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character of the electric energy furnished to the Premises, or if the quantity or character of the electric energy supplied by the Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements, no such change, failure, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

b. Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant shall cooperate fully at all times with Landlord and abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the Facility’s services and systems. Tenant shall not use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises which may in any way increase the amount of services or utilities usually furnished or supplied to the Premises or other premises in the Facility. In addition, Tenant shall not connect any conduit, pipe, apparatus or other device to the Facility’s water, waste or other supply lines or systems for any purpose. Neither Tenant nor its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees shall at any time enter, adjust, tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect the mechanical installations or facilities of the Facility. Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord to the extent required by Landlord to comply with California Public Resources Code Section 25402.10 including, without limitation, providing or consenting to any utility company providing Tenant’s energy consumption information for the Premises to Landlord. Additionally, Tenant hereby consents to any applicable utility company providing utility consumption information for the Premises to Landlord, and if requested, shall promptly sign any documentation requested by the utility company to evidence such consent.

1.20 Landlord’s Additional Repair Obligations. Landlord, at Landlord’s cost (subject to inclusion in Operating Expenses as provided in Section 1.18 of the Summary), shall repair, maintain and replace as necessary, the foundation and structural elements of the Facility (including structural load bearing walls and roof structure), and utility meters, electrical lines, pipes and conduits serving the Facility and the Premises; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance, repairs or replacements are required as a result of any act, neglect or fault of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the costs of such maintenance, repairs and replacements. In addition, and subject to Sections 17.1 and 17.2 of the Standard Lease Provisions, Landlord shall, as part of the Operating Expenses, repair, maintain and replace, as necessary (a) the basic heating, ventilating, air conditioning (“HVAC”), sprinkler and electrical systems within the Facility core and standard conduits, connections and distribution systems thereof within the Premises (but not any above standard improvements installed in the Premises such as, for example, but not by way of limitation, custom lighting, special or supplementary HVAC or plumbing systems or distribution extensions, special or supplemental electrical panels or distribution systems, or kitchen or restroom facilities and appliances to the extent such facilities and appliances are intended for the exclusive use of Tenant), and (b) the Common Areas, if any; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance,

 

10


repairs or replacements are required as a result of any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after demand, the costs of such maintenance, repairs and replacements. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for failure to perform any such maintenance, repairs or replacements, unless Landlord shall fail to make such maintenance, repairs or replacements and such failure shall continue for an unreasonable time following written notice from Tenant to Landlord of the need therefor. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any applicable Laws now or hereafter in effect.

1.21 Business Hours for the Facility: 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Mondays through Fridays (except Facility Holidays) and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays (except Facility Holidays). Facility Holidays: New Year’s Day, Labor Day, Presidents’ Day, Thanksgiving Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Christmas Day and such other national holidays as are adopted by Landlord as holidays for the Facility.

1.22 Additional Parking Provisions. As used herein, the term “Parking Areas” and/or “Parking Facilities” mean all surface and structured Common Parking Facilities as defined in the REA (including, but not limited to, accessways, surface parking spaces and areas, parking structures, pedestrian crossings and other vehicular paths and ramps) now or hereafter constructed and designated by Landlord or other owners or the REA Managing Agent for use by Occupants and Permittees of the Project, subject to applicable Laws, including the REA. Each of Tenant’s parking privileges set forth in Section 1.11 hereof shall be subject to a monthly parking fee as may be established and adjusted by Landlord from time to time (or by the Common Parking Facilities operator or REA Managing Agent). In addition to such parking privileges for use by Tenant’s employees, Tenant’s visitors shall have access to the visitor parking sections of the Common Parking Facilities serving the Facility, subject to availability of spaces and payment (by validation charges or otherwise) of daily visitor parking charges therefor as may be established and adjusted by Landlord from time to time (or by the Common Parking Facilities operator or REA Managing Agent). If, at any time during the Term hereof, Tenant fails or elects not to pay any parking fee so established by Landlord (or by the Common Parking Facilities operator or REA Managing Agent) for the full number of parking privileges set forth in Section 1.11, Tenant’s parking privileges for which Tenant has failed or chosen not to pay may, at any time thereafter, upon ten (10) days’ written notice from Landlord (or from the Common Parking Facilities operator or REA Managing Agent), and failure to pay during such ten day period, be terminated.

a. Parking Devices. Landlord shall provide and Tenant shall rent for the entire Term parking passes or other devices (“Parking Devices”) for parking the number of automobiles at the monthly parking rates (the “Monthly Parking Payment”) set forth in Section 1.11 at the Project. Failure by Tenant to so pay the Monthly Parking Payment shall constitute an Event of Default. The Parking Devices for which the Monthly Parking Payment has not been made will automatically become invalid for that calendar month and succeeding calendar months until all amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord for such Parking Devices have been paid in full. Such invalidation is in addition to any and all other rights and remedies of Landlord under the Lease and California law. No deductions or allowances from the Monthly Parking Payment will be made for any days Tenant or its employees do not use their Parking Devices. Tenant shall not be deemed to have any interest or right in any particular parking space or parking area of the Common Parking Facilities, other than the right to park in any Executive Reserved Parking Space, Time Reserved Parking Space or Reserved Surface Parking Space areas as have been designated by Landlord for Tenant’s use. Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord, the owners and operators of the Common Parking Facilities or the REA Managing Agent may temporarily close all or any part of the Common Parking Facilities for such periods of time as Landlord, the owners and operators of the Common Parking Facilities or the REA Managing Agent may deem necessary or appropriate in order to re-stripe or make repairs or alterations to any portion of the Common Parking Facilities. Tenant shall not be entitled to any reduction or abatement in the Monthly Parking Payment as the result of such closure. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant’s right to use Common Parking Facilities for itself and its employees is non-exclusive and will be in common with Landlord, other Occupants and Permittees of the Park Place Project and the Facility. Tenant’s Parking Devices shall remain the property of Landlord. Tenant’s Parking Devices must be displayed as requested by Landlord and may not be altered in any manner nor may any serial number be removed or altered. There will be a replacement charge to Tenant of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) for the loss of any Parking Device. Prepayment of such replacement charge is required prior to issuance of any Parking Device. Landlord may during the Term of the Lease, from time to time at Landlord’s discretion, adjust such replacement charge. The Parking Devices rented by Tenant pursuant to this Section 1.22 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval.

b. Additional Parking. Tenant acknowledges that except for Tenant’s allocated number of Parking Devices, Landlord has no obligation to Tenant to provide additional parking for Tenant’s customers, guests, invitees or licensees, but Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide for Tenant’s additional parking needs upon request of Tenant. To the extent such parking is available, Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, may validate such additional parking by such method or methods as Landlord, the owners and operators of the Common Parking Facilities or the REA Managing Agent may approve or establish, at the hourly, daily or other rate from time to time established by Landlord, the owners and operators of the Common Parking Facilities and/or the REA Managing Agent in their sole and absolute discretion.

c. Parking Rules and Regulations. Tenant and Tenant’s employees shall comply with all parking rules and regulations set forth in the attached Exhibit G, and all reasonable modifications and additions thereto from time to time established by Landlord, the owners and operators of the Common Parking Facilities or the REA Managing Agent (the “Parking Rules and Regulations”). Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for any violation of the Parking Rules and Regulations by any party parking a vehicle in the Parking Structure or on the Surface Parking lots. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord, the owners and operators of the Common

 

11


Parking Facilities or the REA Managing Agent may refuse to permit any person who violates the Parking Rules and Regulations to park in the Common Parking Facilities. Any violations of the Parking Rules and Regulations shall subject the offending vehicle to removal from the Common Parking Facilities at such vehicle owner’s expense. In either of such events, the party supplying the Parking Device will promptly deactivate it and Tenant or Tenant’s employee shall immediately return the Parking Device to Landlord.

d. Vehicular Ingress and Egress. The access loop road and driveways and drive aisles located in the Park Place Project as constituted from time to time, shall be available for ingress to and egress from the Common Parking Facilities, such use to be in common with Landlord, other tenants of the Park Place Project and the Facility, and other persons entitled to use the same.

1.23 Sustainability. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may be required to comply with legal requirements and/or, from time to time, decide to develop, maintain and/or operate, consistent with those operated at Comparable Building (if voluntary), the Project in accordance with third-party accreditations, ratings or certifications that relate to sustainability issues, energy efficiency, waste and/or water reduction and/or management, or other comparable goals, including (without limitation) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR rating, the Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes for Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings (Green GlobesTM CIEB), the U.S. Green Building Council’s then-current version of the LEED Green Building Rating System, the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International’s 360 Performance Program or the Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada’s Building Environmental Standards (“BOMA BEST”) or any comparable rating, certification or performance program now or hereafter in existence (collectively, “Third Party Sustainability Standard(s)”).

a. Should Landlord voluntarily implement any Third Party Sustainability Standards or applicable Law require Landlord to develop, maintain and/or operate the Building accordingly, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord’s efforts in that regard. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, providing Landlord with information upon request about Tenant’s occupancy as may be required by any such third-party agency, such as staffing levels, hours of operation, utility usage, commuting patterns (to the extent reasonably determinable), cleaning methods, build-out materials and techniques, furniture, fixtures and equipment inventories, and other purchasing information. The foregoing provisions shall apply whether Landlord affirmatively seeks an accreditation, rating or certification under a Third-Party Sustainability Standard and to thereafter maintain the accreditation, rating or certification, or to operate voluntarily in accordance with some or all of such Third-Party Sustainability Standards but without formally obtaining the accreditation, rating or certification. Any carbon offset credits, renewable energy credits, tradable renewable credits, energy saving certificates, rebates, incentives, offsets, allowances and other similar entitlements, now or hereafter existing (“Renewable Credits”) received by the Project or by Landlord and applicable to the Project shall belong to Landlord except to the extent, if any, to which Tenant may be entitled to them under applicable Law, in which event Tenant shall be entitled to the Renewable Credits to the extent required by Law.

b. Tenant affirms its support of these practices and agrees to cooperate with Landlord by implementing reasonable conservation practices as Tenant deems appropriate. Periodically, Landlord may offer additional examples, guidance, and practices related to energy conservation measures, which Tenant agrees to consider for implementation or incorporation into tenant’s existing sustainability program, when applicable.

c. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be restricted from operating its business in the fashion and manner which it deems appropriate for itself. Should any specific practice(s) proposed by Landlord be deemed to be inconsistent with Tenant’s business operations, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing as its reason for declining to implement such specific practice(s).

d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.18 above, “Operating Expenses” shall include all reasonable amounts, expenses and costs of whatever nature that Landlord incurs or pays because of or in connection with any Third Party Sustainability Standards, including, without limitation, energy and/or water efficiency upgrades, all related improvements thereto or thereon, and all machinery, equipment, landscaping, fixtures, and other facilities, including personal property, and all costs associated with insurance endorsements applicable to green buildings, including, without limitation, coverage in order to repair, restore, replace and re-commission the Building or Project for certification or recertification in accordance with any Third Party Sustainability Standards (without hereby obligating Landlord to seek such certification) or support achieving energy and carbon reduction targets. When, in the reasonable determination of Landlord, any service, including, but not limited to, HVAC, electrical, janitorial and property management service, is provided disproportionately either to the Premises or to any other premises within the Building, then Operating Expenses per square foot payable hereunder may be increased or reduced by Landlord’s reasonable determination of the increased or reduced cost per square foot of such disproportionate service. Tenant shall also pay the cost of any above-standard services (including, without limitation, above-standard utility charges), generation of on-site renewable energy (if utility rate is at or below current tariff), and the cost of any separately metered utilities.

e. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to share “Environmental Performance Data” (as defined below) they hold relating to the Premises and/or the Building. “Environmental Performance Data” means any and all information relating to environmental conservation, energy efficiency, and sustainability, including, without limitation, any building certifications and utility consumption data. This Environmental Performance Data will be shared on a regular basis, with the REA Managing Agent and with any third party who the Landlord deems necessary receive and review such data. Save where under a statutory obligation of disclosure, Landlord will keep confidential the Environmental Performance Data shared under this clause, and will only use such data for the purposes of:

 

12


(i) Monitoring and improving the Environmental Performance of the Premises and/or the Building and/or

(ii) Measuring the Environmental Performance of the Premises and/or the Building against any agreed targets.

Where the Landlord discloses any shared data to a third party, they will procure that that third party is placed under a similar obligation to that set out in clause to keep any shared data confidential and to use it only for the purposes listed in that clause.

f. Tenant shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to established sustainability initiatives by implementing best practices when feasible and in meeting goals such as energy use reduction goals and minimizing unnecessary use of electricity, water, heating, and air conditioning, in accordance with Exhibit I attached hereto. Tenant should share operational requirements and preferences, concerns, and interests with Landlord’s contractors engaged to improve efficiency in the Building, as feasible/applicable in relation to Tenant’s operational practices.

g. Landlord may, at any time, install separate meters, submeters and/or other energy measurement devices for the Premises or for any specific use within the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant’s datacenter, server rooms, or other information technology equipment) for electricity, water, gas, steam, or other utility usage. Landlord shall have access to the Premises as is reasonably necessary to accomplish the installation set forth in this paragraph. Such separate metering may be a direct meter, a submeter, a check meter. Any meter so installed may, at Landlord’s option, be a “smart meter”. The reasonable cost of installation shall be a capital expense that is a Permitted Capital Expense and included in Operating Expenses on an amortized basis over the expected useful life of the meter. If such a meter is installed, Tenant shall thereafter not be charged as an Operating Expense for any other tenant’s use of that utility in the other tenant’s own premises, but shall still be charged Tenant’s Percentage for the consumption of that utility in any part of the Building that is not leased to another tenant. The information collected by these devices shall be used to benchmark the Tenant’s energy consumption, with the intent to identify, and then implement, energy conservation measures. Landlord and Tenant mutually agree to cooperate on implementing energy conservation measures to ensure optimal results from such efforts.

h. Landlord reserves all rights to use any portion of the Project outside of the Premises (including the roof of the Building and the land surrounding the Building) for any purpose, including the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vegetation, antennas, satellites, an energy management system, a passive solar array for the production of electricity, and other equipment, structures, and facilities (collectively, the “Facilities”). Tenant shall have no rights or interest in the Facilities or any electricity that may be generated by the Facilities.

2.1 Lease Elements; Definitions; Exhibits. The Lease is comprised of the Lease Summary and Property Specific Provisions (the “Summary”), these Standard Lease Provisions (“Standard Provisions”) and all exhibits, and riders attached hereto (collectively, “Exhibits”), all of which are incorporated together as part of one and the same instrument. All references in any such documents and instruments to “Lease” means the Summary, these Standard Provisions and all Exhibits attached hereto. All terms used in this Lease shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Summary, these Standard Provisions and any Exhibits. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Summary, these Standard Provisions, or any Exhibits attached hereto, the Summary and any Exhibits attached hereto shall control over these Standard Provisions.

ARTICLE 3—PREMISES

3.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises, upon and subject to, the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Each party covenants and agrees, as a material part of the consideration for this Lease, to keep and perform their respective obligations under this Lease.

3.2 Landlord’s Reserved Rights. The Facility Common Areas and the Project Common Areas are subject to the management and control of Landlord and/or the REA Managing Agent. In the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord and/or the REA Managing Agent, Landlord and/or the REA Managing Agent may construct, alter, reconfigure and change the shape and size of the Facility Common Areas and the Project Common Areas, and may install, repair, replace, renovate, alter, expand, improve or relocate improvements within the Facility Common Areas and Project Common Areas or any other portion of the Park Place Project, so long as any such changes do not materially adversely affect Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises and Landlord continues to provide a conference center capable of accommodating 30 or more people for the non-exclusive use by Tenant and other tenants and visitors of the Project. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that subject to the provisions of this Section 3.2 and the obligation of Landlord to comply with the terms and provisions of this Lease, (i) the shape and size of the Park Place Project and any existing or contemplated improvements in the Park Place Project may be changed in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord or other owners at the Park Place Project, including, without limitation, changes to the existing concourse level of the Facility, (ii) Landlord, the REA Managing Agent and/or the other owners at the Park Place Project shall have the right, but not the obligation, to construct additional improvements to the Park Place Project, including, without limitation, additional office and/or residential and/or retail improvements, and may modify, add or delete Project Common Areas and other related improvements in connection with such improvements, and (iii) Landlord, the REA Managing Agent, and/or the other owners of the Park Place Project shall have the right to otherwise manage and operate the Project Common Areas and do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Park Place Project as Landlord and/or the REA Managing Agent may reasonably deem appropriate as permitted by the terms of the REA and subject to their compliance with the requirements of this Section 3.2; provided that any such changes do not materially adversely affect Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that portions of the Park Place Project may be under construction following Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, and that such construction may result in levels of noise, dust, obstruction of access, etc. which are in excess of that present in a fully-constructed project; provided that Landlord shall use (or shall cause the REA Managing Agent or other owners at the Park Place Project to use) commercially reasonable measures to minimize the level of noise, dust, and obstruction of access to the Premises that result from construction of other improvements in the Park Place Project during the Term of this Lease taking into account the level of noise, dust and obstructions of access that are typically associated with the construction of buildings, roadways and similar improvements in and around existing office buildings in Orange County, California, provided, in no event shall such activities materially and adversely affect Tenant’s access to or use of the Premises. Provided the same does not unreasonably and materially interfere with Tenant’s use or access of the Premises, Landlord and/or the REA Managing Agent may: (a) install, repair, replace or relocate pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other parts of the Facility above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas of the Premises or the rest of the Facility; (b) repair, renovate, alter, expand or improve the Facility; (c) make changes to any of the Facility Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of entrances, exits, loading and unloading areas, halls, passages, stairways and other means of ingress and egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways; (d) close temporarily any of the Facility Common Areas for maintenance purposes as long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available; (e) use the Facility Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Facility, or any portion thereof; and (f) do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Facility Common Areas as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate subject to the terms of this Section 3.2. Any part of the Project Common Areas and/or Facility Common Areas may be closed for such periods of time as may be necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate construction activities, make repairs or alterations, prevent the public from obtaining prescriptive rights, or to utilize such areas for such purposes, including without limitation, the holding of special events, as may be reasonably determined to be in the best interest of the Park Place Project by Landlord and/or the REA Managing Agent; provided that in any event, the exercise of the rights and powers provided in this Section 3.2 shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises, or otherwise materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights and obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any and all rent offsets (except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease) or claims of constructive eviction that may arise in connection with any such construction. Similarly, any diminution or shutting off of light, air, or view by any structure that may be erected on lands adjacent to the Project and changes from time to time in the development plans for the Park Place Project shall not affect this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, it has not

 

14


relied on any representations, whether oral or written, regarding any improvements that may comprise the Park Place Project in entering into this Lease. If Landlord is required to reconfigure the Premises as a result of any changes to the Facility Common Areas and/or any other elements of the Facility as a result of Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this Section 3.2, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance written notice of the construction schedule to the extent that the Premises are affected, and Landlord shall endeavor to minimize, as reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant’s business as a result of any such construction. All measurements of rentable area in this Lease shall be deemed to be correct.

ARTICLE 4—TERM AND POSSESSION

4.1 Term; Notice of Lease Dates. The Term shall be for the period designated in the Summary commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date, unless the Term is sooner terminated or extended as provided in this Lease. If the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then the Term will be measured from the first day of the month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute a written confirmation of the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Term in the form of the Notice of Lease Term Dates attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Notice of Lease Term Dates shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant reasonably objects thereto in writing within such ten (10) day period.

4.2 Possession. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises is vacant and in shell delivery condition. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3 below promptly following execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.2. Tenant agrees that if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or prior to any particular date, the Lease will not be void or voidable, nor will Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not be obligated to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant until Landlord has received from Tenant all of the following: (i) a copy of this Lease fully executed by Tenant; (ii) the Security Deposit and the first installment of Monthly Base Rent due under this Lease; and (iii) copies of Tenant’s insurance certificates as required hereunder.

4.3 Condition of Premises. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in broom-clean condition and free of debris, with the existing Building-standard structural elements and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (collectively, the “Operating Systems”) in good operating condition. If any of such Operating Systems or elements should malfunction or fail within the warranty period below, as Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s breach of this warranty, Landlord shall, as Landlord’s sole obligation, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or failure, repair same at Landlord’s expense; provided, however, Landlord shall have no liability hereunder for repairs or replacements necessitated by the acts or omissions of Tenant and/or any of Tenant’s Parties. The warranty period shall be one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery of the Premises to Tenant. If Tenant does not give Landlord the required notice within said warranty period, correction of any such non-compliance, malfunction, or failure shall be the obligation of Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease and the Work Letter, (i) neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the Building, the Facility or the Project or the condition thereof, or with respect to the suitability thereof for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then as-is condition on delivery by Landlord, and (ii) the acceptance of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall establish that the Premises, the Building, the Facility and the Project were at such time complete and in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and repair and without any obligation on Landlord’s part to make any further alterations, upgrades or improvements thereto. Pursuant to Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby advises Tenant that as of the date of this Lease neither the Premises, the Facility, the Building nor the Project have undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist. Further, pursuant to Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord notifies Tenant of the following: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” Therefore and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that (a) Tenant may, at its option and at its sole cost, cause a CASp to inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises complies with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California law, (b) the parties shall mutually coordinate and reasonably approve of the timing of any such CASp inspection so that Landlord may, at its option, have a representative present during such inspection, and (c) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises, any and all such alterations and repairs to be performed in accordance with Article 13 of this Lease; provided Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any repairs or alterations made pursuant to a CASp inspection under this Section 4.3.

ARTICLE 5—RENT

5.1 Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, the Monthly Base Rent as designated in the Summary. Monthly Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent (defined below) shall be paid by Tenant in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month (“Due Date”) during the Term, except that the first full month’s Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent, if any, shall be paid upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord. Monthly Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such month bears to the actual number of days in such month.

 

15


5.2 Additional Rent. All amounts and charges payable by Tenant under this Lease in addition to Monthly Base Rent, if any, including, without limitation, payments for Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs to the extent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be considered “Additional Rent”, and the word “Rent” in this Lease shall include Monthly Base Rent and all such Additional Rent unless the context specifically states or clearly implies that only Monthly Base Rent is referenced. Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without any prior notice or demand therefor and without any notice, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.

5.3 Late Charges & Interest Rate. If Landlord does not receive Rent or any other payment due from Tenant within five (5) days of the Due Date (provided that Tenant shall be entitled to one (1), five (5) day prior written notice in any twelve (12) month period before such charge is incurred), Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such past due Rent or other payment. Tenant agrees that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Accepting any late charge shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to any overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord. If any installment of Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord within five (5) days of the Due Date, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in the Summary from the Due Date until paid. All interest, and any late charges imposed pursuant to this Section 5.3, shall be considered Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 6—LETTER OF CREDIT

6.1 General Provisions. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as collateral for the full performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, any post lease termination damages under Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code, a standby, unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the face amount set forth in Section 1.9 above (the “Letter of Credit Amount”), naming Landlord as beneficiary, issued by a financial institution acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, permitting multiple and partial draws thereon, and otherwise in form acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be continuously maintained in effect (whether through replacement, renewal or extension) in the Letter of Credit Amount through the date (the “Final LC Expiration Date”) that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the scheduled expiration date of the Term or any Option Term of this Lease. If the Letter of Credit held by Landlord expires earlier than the Final LC Expiration Date (whether by reason of a stated expiration date or a notice of termination or non-renewal given by the issuing bank), Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord. Any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 6, shall be irrevocable, transferable and shall remain in effect (or be automatically renewable) through the Final LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit, or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.

6.2 Drawings under Letter of Credit. Landlord shall have the immediate right to draw upon the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time: (a) if an event of default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period provided for such default in this Lease or (b) if the Letter of Credit held by Landlord expires (or is set to expire) earlier than the Final LC Expiration Date (whether by reason of a stated expiration date or a notice of termination or non-renewal given by the issuing bank), and Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, a renewal or substitute Letter of Credit that is in effect and that complies with the provisions of this Article 6. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant under this Lease or upon the occurrence of any of the other events described above in this Article 6.

6.3 Use of Proceeds by Landlord. The proceeds of the Letter of Credit shall constitute Landlord’s sole and separate property (and not Tenant’s property or the property of Tenant’s bankruptcy estate) and Landlord may immediately upon any draw (and without notice to Tenant) apply or offset the proceeds of the Letter of Credit: (i) against any rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due; (ii) against all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease, including any damages arising under Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code following termination of the Lease; (iii) against any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with this Lease (including attorneys’ fees); and (iv) against any other amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default. Provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Final LC Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied as allowed above; provided, that if prior to the Final LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed, in each case pursuant to a final court order not subject to appeal or any stay pending appeal.

 

16


6.4 Additional Covenants of Tenant. If, as result of any application or use by Landlord of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within five days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of credit in the total Letter of Credit Amount), and any such additional (or replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 6, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the same shall, at Landlord’s election, constitute an uncurable event of default by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

6.5 Transfer of Letter of Credit. Landlord may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, including Landlord’s mortgagee and/or to have the Letter of Credit reissued in the name of Landlord’s mortgagee. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Building and transfers the Letter of Credit (or any proceeds thereof then held by Landlord) in whole or in part to the transferee, Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties hereto, thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability therefor. The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of all or any part of the Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the issuer of the Letter of Credit such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer. Tenant shall be responsible for paying the issuer’s transfer and processing fees in connection with any transfer of the Letter of Credit and, if Landlord advances any such fees (without having any obligation to do so) but not more than once in any calendar year, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such transfer or processing fees within ten days after Landlord’s written request therefor.

6.6 Nature of Letter of Credit. Landlord and Tenant (i) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any Law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context including Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as such section now exists or as may be hereafter amended or succeeded (“Security Deposit Laws”), (ii) acknowledge and agree that the Letter of Credit (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (iii) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all other provisions of Law, now or hereafter in effect, which (A) establish the time frame by which Landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (B) provide that Landlord may claim from the security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article 6 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant’s breach of this Lease or the acts or omissions of Tenant, including any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 7—OPERATING EXPENSES/UTILITIES/SERVICES

7.1 Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay for or contribute to the costs of operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Premises, the Facility and the Project Common Areas as part of Operating Expenses as provided in the Summary.

7.2 Facility Utilities and Services. Utilities and services to the Premises and the Facility are described in the Summary.

7.3 Facility Taxes. As used in this Lease, the term “Taxes” means: all real property taxes and assessments, possessory interest taxes, sales taxes, personal property taxes, business or license taxes or fees, gross receipts taxes, license or use fees, excises, transit charges, and other impositions of any kind (including fees “in-lieu” or in substitution of any such tax or assessment) which are now or hereafter assessed, levied, charged or imposed by any public authority upon the Facility or any portion thereof, Landlord’s operations or the Rent derived therefrom (or any portion or component thereof, or the ownership, operation, or transfer thereof), and any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize the same. Taxes shall not include inheritance or estate taxes imposed upon or assessed against the interest of Landlord, gift taxes, excess profit taxes, franchise taxes, or similar taxes on Landlord’s business or any other taxes computed upon the basis of the net income of Landlord. If it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any such Taxes, the Monthly Base Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net Landlord the same net rent after imposition of any such Taxes by Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord prior to the payment of any such Taxes. Tenant shall pay for or contribute to Taxes as part of Operating Expenses as provided in the Summary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, fixtures, above-standard Tenant Improvements and alterations, additions or improvements placed by or for Tenant in the Premises. Furthermore, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services provided herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

 

17


7.4 Insurance Costs. As used in this Lease, “Insurance Costs” means the cost of insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to Article 15 (including self-insured amounts and deductibles, if any). Tenant shall pay for or contribute to Insurance Costs as part of Operating Expenses as provided in the Summary.

7.5 Interruption of Utilities. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any interruption in utilities or services to be provided to the Premises when such failure is caused by all or any of the following: (a) accident, breakage or repairs; (b) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any such character; (c) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (d) inability, despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, to obtain electricity, water or fuel; (e) service interruptions or any other unavailability of utilities resulting from causes beyond Landlord’s control including without limitation, any electrical power “brown-out” or “black-out”; or (f) any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. In addition, in the event of any such interruption in utilities or services, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Rent (except as expressly provided in Articles 17 and 18 if such failure is a result of any casualty damage or taking described therein), no eviction of Tenant shall result, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease. In the event of any stoppage or interruption of services or utilities which are not obtained directly by Tenant, Landlord shall diligently attempt to resume such services or utilities as promptly as practicable. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any applicable existing or future Law, ordinance or governmental regulation permitting the termination of this Lease due to an interruption, failure or inability to provide any services (including, without limitation, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1)).

7.6 Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant’s use of all or a material part of the Premises is materially impaired due to (a) an interruption of utility or mechanical services to the Premises, (b) inability to access or use the Premises or parking, or (c) Landlord’s construction or other activities, and such disruption materially interferes with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises for five (5) consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Monthly Base Rent and additional rent under this Lease based upon the portion of the Premises affected thereby until the applicable material impairment is cured; 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, such as for example, bringing in portable air-conditioning equipment, then there shall not be any abatement of Rent..

ARTICLE 8—MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

8.1 Landlord’s Repair Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, renovate, redecorate or paint all or any part of the Premises. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 and any successor statutes or laws of a similar nature). Landlord shall perform in a good and workmanlike manner all required repairs and maintenance of the Building, the Facility and the Project.

8.2 Tenant’s Repair Obligations. Except for Landlord’s obligations specifically set forth elsewhere in this Lease and in Section 8.1 above and in the Summary, Tenant shall at all times and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep, maintain, clean, repair, preserve and replace, as necessary, the interior of the Premises and all parts thereof including, without limitation, all Tenant Improvements, Alterations, and all furniture, fixtures and equipment, including, without limitation, all computer, telephone and data cabling and equipment, Tenant’s signs, if any, door locks, closing devices, security devices, interior of windows, window sashes, casements and frames, floors and floor coverings, shelving, kitchen, restroom facilities and/or appliances of any kind located within the Premises, if any, custom lighting, and any additions and other property located within the Premises, so as to keep all of the foregoing elements of the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. Tenant shall replace, at its expense, any and all plate and other glass in and about the Premises which is damaged or broken from any cause whatsoever except due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Such maintenance and repairs shall be performed with due diligence, lien-free and in a first-class and workmanlike manner, by licensed contractor(s) that are selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay.

a. Special Form (formerly known as “all risk”) insurance, including fire and extended coverage, sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler leakage), vandalism, malicious mischief plus earthquake and flood coverage upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and located in the Premises or the Facility, or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant including, without limitation, furniture, equipment and any other personal property, and any Alterations (but excluding the initial Tenant Improvements previously existing or installed in the Premises), in an amount not less than the full replacement cost thereof.

Such umbrella liability insurance shall include pay on behalf of wording, concurrency of effective dates with primary policies, blanket contractual liability, application of primary policy aggregates, and shall provide that if the underlying aggregate is exhausted, the excess coverage will drop down as primary insurance, subject to customary commercially reasonable deductible amounts imposed on umbrella policies.

f. If Tenant’s business includes professional services, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain in full force and effect professional liability (also known as errors and omissions insurance), covering Tenant and Tenant’s employees from work related negligence and liability in trade.

h. Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or the Mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time, in form, amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant of Comparable Buildings would protect itself, but only to the extent such risks and amounts are available in the insurance market at commercially reasonable costs.

14.2 Requirements. Each policy required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder shall: (a) be issued by insurers which are approved by Landlord and/or Landlord’s Mortgagees and are authorized to do business in the state in which the Facility is located and rated not less than Financial Size X, and with a Financial Strength rating of A in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide (provided that, in any event, the same insurance company shall provide the coverages described in Sections 14.1.a. and 14.1.g. above); (b) be in form reasonably satisfactory from time to time to Landlord; (c) name Tenant as named insured thereunder and shall name Landlord and, at Landlord’s request with respect to liability policies, such other persons or entities of which Tenant has been informed in writing, as additional insureds thereunder, all as their respective interests may appear; (d) not have a deductible amount exceeding Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), which deductible amount shall be deemed self-insured with full waiver of subrogation; (e) specifically provide that the insurance afforded by such policy for the benefit of Landlord and any other additional insureds shall be primary, and any insurance carried by Landlord or any other additional insureds shall be excess and non-contributing; (f) contain an endorsement that the insurer waives its right to subrogation; (g) require the insurer to notify Landlord and any other additional insureds in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation or other termination thereof; (h) contain a cross liability or severability of interest endorsement; and (i) be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance, but in no event later than the date Tenant is required to obtain such insurance as set forth in Section 14.1 above, certificates from the insurance company evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 14. Tenant shall cause replacement certificates to be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy or policies. If any such initial or replacement certificates are not furnished within the time(s) specified herein, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such policies and certificates at Tenant’s expense.

14.3 Effect on Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will (a) violate or invalidate any insurance policy or coverage maintained by Landlord or Tenant hereunder, or (b) increase the costs of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord. If Tenant’s occupancy or conduct of its business in or on the Premises results in any increase in premiums for any insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Facility or the Project, Tenant shall either discontinue the activities affecting the insurance or pay such increase as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. If any insurance coverage carried by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or otherwise with respect to the Facility or the Project shall be cancelled or reduced (or cancellation or reduction thereof shall be threatened) by reason of the use or occupancy of the Premises other than as allowed by the Permitted Use by Tenant or by anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy such condition within five (5) business days after notice thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease and Landlord shall have all remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition at Tenant’s cost.

ARTICLE 15—LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

During the Term, Landlord shall maintain property insurance written on a Special Form (formerly known as “all risk”) basis covering the Project and the Facility, including the initial Tenant Improvements (excluding, however, Tenant’s furniture, equipment and other personal property and Alterations, unless Landlord otherwise elects to insure the Alterations pursuant to Section 13.1 above) against damage by fire and standard extended coverage perils and with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, rental loss coverage, at Landlord’s option, earthquake damage coverage, and such additional coverage as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate and consistent with customary insurance carried at Comparable Buildings. Landlord shall also carry commercial general liability in such reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductibles as would be carried by prudent owners of Comparable Buildings. At Landlord’s option, all such insurance may be carried under any blanket or umbrella policies that Landlord has in force for other buildings and projects. In addition, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may elect to self-insure all or any part of such required insurance coverage. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to carry any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord or the Mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord may reasonably determine is advisable consistent with customary insurance carried at Comparable Buildings. The cost of insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Article 15 (including self-insured amounts and deductibles) shall be included in Insurance Costs, except that any increase in the premium for the property insurance attributable to the replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements in excess of Facility standard shall not be included as Insurance Costs, but shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after invoice from Landlord.

16.1 Tenant’s Assumption of Risk and Waiver. Except to the extent such matter is not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease and/or except to the extent such matter is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant’s Parties for: (i) any damage to property of Tenant, or of others, located in, on or about the Premises, (ii) the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of others by theft or otherwise, (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling ceiling tiles masonry, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or leaks from any part of the Premises or from the pipes, appliance of plumbing works or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other places or by dampness or by any other cause of whatsoever nature, (iv) any such damage caused by other tenants, Occupants, Permittees or other persons in the Premises, or other Occupants or Permittees of any other portions of the Facility, or the public, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or (v) any interruption of utilities and services.

17.1 Landlord’s Rights and Obligations. If the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant (“Casualty”) to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and Landlord’s contractor estimates in writing delivered to the parties that the damage thereto is such that the Building and/or Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such Casualty, and Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration (including proceeds from Tenant and/or Tenant’s insurance which Tenant is required to deliver to Landlord pursuant to this Lease), then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, the Premises or the Building is damaged to an extent exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, or Landlord’s contractor estimates that such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration will require longer than one hundred twenty (120) days to complete from the date of Casualty, or Landlord will not receive insurance proceeds (and/or proceeds from Tenant, as applicable) sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration, then Landlord may elect to either: (a) repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of the Premises or Building damaged by such Casualty (including the Tenant Improvements, the Alterations that Landlord elects to insure pursuant to Section 13.1 and, to the extent of insurance proceeds received from Tenant, the Alterations that Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 13.1), in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; or (b) terminate this Lease effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s election to so terminate. Under any of the conditions of this Section 17.1, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention to repair or terminate within the later of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Casualty, or fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the estimate from Landlord’s contractor or, as applicable, thirty (30) days after Landlord receives approval from Landlord’s Mortgagee to rebuild.

17.2 Tenant’s Costs and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any damage or destruction of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall immediately: (a) notify Landlord thereof; and (b) deliver to Landlord all insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations (to the extent such items are not covered by Landlord’s casualty insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Lease) and with respect to Alterations in the Premises that Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 13.1, excluding proceeds for Tenant’s furniture and other personal property, whether or not this Lease is terminated as permitted in Section 17.1, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to receive such insurance proceeds. If, for any reason (including Tenant’s failure to obtain insurance for the full replacement cost of any Alterations which Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof), Tenant fails to receive insurance proceeds covering the full replacement cost of such Alterations which are damaged, Tenant shall be deemed to have self-insured the replacement cost of such Alterations, and upon any damage or destruction thereto, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the full replacement cost of such items, less any insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord from Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance with respect to such items.

17.3 Abatement of Rent. If as a result of any such damage, repair, reconstruction and/or restoration of the Premises or the Building, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, then Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, during the period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using and does not use the Premises or portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, there shall be no abatement of Rent. Except for abatement of Rent as provided hereinabove, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of, or interference with, Tenant’s business or use or access of all or any part of the Premises resulting from any such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

17.4 Inability to Complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 17, if Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct and/or restore the damaged portion of the Building or Premises pursuant to Section 17.1 above, but is delayed from completing such repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date which is six (6) months after the date estimated by Landlord’s contractor for completion thereof pursuant to Section 17.1, by reason of any causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (including, without limitation, delays due to Force Majeure, and delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties), then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant.

 

24


17.5 Damage to the Property. If there is a total destruction of the improvements on the Project or partial destruction of such improvements, the cost of restoration of which would exceed one-third (1/3) of the then replacement value of all improvements on the Project, by any cause whatsoever, whether or not insured against and whether or not the Premises are partially or totally destroyed, Landlord may within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such destruction, notify Tenant in writing that it elects not to so reconstruct or restore such improvements, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such destruction.

17.6 Damage Near End of Term. In addition to its termination rights in Sections 17.1, 17.4 and 17.5 above, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if any damage to the Building or Premises occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and Landlord’s contractor estimates in writing delivered to the parties that the repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be completed within the earlier of (a) the scheduled expiration date of the Term, or (b) sixty (60) days after the date of such Casualty.

17.7 Tenant’s Termination Right. In the event of any damage or destruction which affects Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises which is not caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, if Tenant’s possession and use of the Premises cannot be restored by Landlord within two hundred seventy (270) days for reasons other than delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said 270-day period, unless Landlord completes the restoration within said 30-day notice period, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

17.8 Waiver of Termination Right. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of any damage or destruction. Accordingly, except as expressly provided herein, Tenant hereby waives any and all provisions of applicable Law that provide alternative rights for the parties in the event of damage or destruction (including, without limitation, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4 and any successor statute or laws of a similar nature).

ARTICLE 18—CONDEMNATION

18.1 Substantial or Partial Taking. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 below, either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or the Project which would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building and/or the Facility. The terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after it first receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and all other elements of this Lease which are dependent upon the area of the Premises, the Building or the Facility shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Premises, Building or Facility, as applicable. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right to receive compensation or proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property, loss of goodwill and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award.

18.2 Condemnation Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 below, in connection with any Taking of the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award shall be allowed or paid to Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease, and such bonus or excess value shall be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall be granted the right to recover from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property within the Premises, for Tenant’s relocation expenses, and for any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant’s business by reason of such taking.

18.3 Temporary Taking. In the event of a Taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (a) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and Rent shall not abate, and (b) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall perform its obligations with respect to surrender of the Premises and shall pay to Landlord the portion of any award which is attributable to any period of time beyond the Term expiration date. For purpose of this Section 18.3, a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days or less.

18.4 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have pursuant to any applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any rights Tenant might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure) and agrees that the provisions hereof shall govern the parties’ rights in the event of any Taking.

ARTICLE 19—WAIVER OF CLAIMS; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

19.1 Tenant Waiver. Except to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees, Tenant hereby waives its rights against Landlord for any claims or damages or losses, including any deductibles and self-insured amounts, which are caused by or result from (a) any occurrence insured under any property insurance policy carried by Tenant, or (b) any occurrence which would have been covered under any property insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required. The foregoing waiver shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.

 

25


19.2 Waiver of Insurers. Tenant shall cause each property insurance policy carried by Tenant to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord, in connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such policy. If Tenant fails to maintain insurance for an insurable loss, such loss shall be deemed to be self-insured with a deemed full waiver of subrogation as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE 20—ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

20.1 Restriction on Transfer. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 20.6 below, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than Tenant (any such assignment, encumbrance, sublease, license or the like being sometimes referred to as a “Transfer”). In no event may Tenant encumber or hypothecate this Lease or the Premises. This prohibition against Transfers shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. Any Transfer without Landlord’s consent (except for a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 20.6 below) shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease, and in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies at law, in equity or under this Lease, such Transfer shall be voidable at Landlord’s election. For purposes of this Article 20, other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer under Section 20.6 and transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation and such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of fifty percent (50%) or more (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in such entity, and/or any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of any controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained in this Article 20.

20.2 Landlord’s Options. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (“Transfer Notice”) setting forth the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as a “Transferee”). Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord with the Transfer Notice, a current financial statement and such evidence of financial responsibility and standing as Landlord may reasonably require of the Transferee which have been certified or audited by a reputable independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and such other information concerning the business background and financial condition of the proposed Transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of any Transfer Notice, and any additional information requested by Landlord pursuant to this Section 20.2, Landlord will notify Tenant of its election to do one of the following: (a) consent to the proposed Transfer subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord may impose in providing such consent; or (b) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds stated in Section 20.4; or (c) in the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease all of the Premises for the duration of the Term, terminate this Lease and recapture the Premises for reletting by Landlord, which termination shall be effective as of the proposed Transfer Date, and shall be without any penalty or cost to Tenant other than performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease through to the termination of this Lease as of such Transfer Date.

20.3 Additional Conditions; Excess Rent. A condition to Landlord’s consent to any Transfer will be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, an original of Landlord’s standard consent form executed by both Tenant and the proposed Transferee. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any rent or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of any Transfer which exceeds, in the aggregate, (i) the total Rent which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased) for the applicable period, plus (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees actually paid by Tenant in connection with such Transfer, plus (iii) any amounts spent to prepare the space for the proposed Transfer, plus (iv) any marketing expenses incurred in connection with the proposed sublease. which costs, commissions and fees shall, for purposes of the aforesaid calculation, be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of such assignment or sublease. If Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is consummated), then, upon demand, and as a condition precedent to Landlord’s consideration of the proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), plus Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees and other costs incurred by Landlord in reviewing such proposed assignment or sublease (whether attributable to Landlord’s in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise) not to exceed $2,000 for any proposed Transfer. Acceptance of the Five Hundred Dollar ($500.00) administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord’s attorneys’ and/or paralegal fees shall in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer.

20.4 Reasonable Disapproval. Without limiting in any way Landlord’s right to withhold its consent on any reasonable grounds, it is agreed that Landlord will not be acting unreasonably in refusing to consent to a Transfer if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion: (a) the proposed Transfer would result in more than two subleases of portions of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term; (b) the proposed Transferee is an existing tenant of the Facility or is negotiating with Landlord (or has negotiated with Landlord in the last six (6) months) for

 

26


space in the Facility where Landlord has available space to accommodate such proposed Transferee; (c) the proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (d) the portion of the Premises to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress; (e) the proposed Transfer involves a change of use of the Premises from that permitted under this Lease or would violate any exclusive use covenant to which Landlord is bound; (f) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Transfer; (g) the Transfer would likely result in significant increase in the use of the parking areas by the Transferee’s employees or visitors, and/or significantly increase the demand upon utilities and services to be provided by Landlord to the Premises; or (h) the Transferee is not in Landlord’s reasonable opinion of reputable or good character.

20.5 No Release. No Transfer, occupancy or collection of rent from any proposed Transferee shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord, or the acceptance of the Transferee as Tenant and no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee, and each sublease shall provide that if Landlord gives said sublessee written notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, said sublessee will thereafter make all payments due under the sublease directly to or as directed by Landlord, which payments will be credited against any payments due under this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns to Landlord all rents and other sums payable under any sublease of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord hereby grants Tenant a license to collect all such rents and other sums so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

20.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 20.1 above to the contrary, provided that Tenant is not then in default, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof (herein, a “Permitted Transfer”), without Landlord’s consent to any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant’s business as a going concern or all of Tenant’s stock or other equity interests (each, a “Permitted Transferee”), provided that: (a) at least ten (10) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord a reasonably detailed description of the proposed Transfer including financial statements and other financial and background information of the assignee or sublessee described in Section 20.2 above; (b) in the case of an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (or in the case of a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises or Term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion) pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement (or a sublease, as applicable) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, a fully executed copy of which is delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such assignment or subletting; (c) the use of the Premises is pursuant to Section 1.10 of this Lease; (g) such transaction is not entered into as a subterfuge to avoid the restrictions and provisions of this Article 20 and will not violate any exclusive use covenant to which Landlord is bound; (h) with respect to a subletting only, Tenant and such Permitted Transferee execute Landlord’s standard consent to sublease form; and (i) Tenant is not in default under this Lease unless such default is cured in connection with the Transfer.

ARTICLE 21—SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER

21.1 Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender all keys for the Premises and exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted (and casualty damage excepted), with all of Tenant’s personal property, electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (to be removed in accordance with the National Electric Code and other applicable Laws) and those items, if any, of Alterations identified by Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2, removed therefrom and all damage caused by such removal repaired. If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease all of its personal property identified by Landlord for removal pursuant to Section 13.2, Landlord may (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof), at Tenant’s sole cost and in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items in accordance with applicable Law; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant, sell all or any such items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain as permitted under applicable Law. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant.

21.2 Holding Over. Tenant will not be permitted to hold over possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with or without the express written consent of Landlord, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance only, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease so far as applicable (including Tenant’s obligation to pay all Additional Rent under this Lease), but at a Monthly Base Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior to the date of such expiration or earlier termination. Any such holdover Rent shall be paid on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not constitute consent to a hold over hereunder or result in an

 

27


extension of this Lease. This Section 21.2 shall not be construed to create any express or implied right to holdover beyond the expiration of the Term or any extension thereof. To the extent Tenant has been provided at least thirty (30) days’ notice of an incoming tenant or other potential consequential damage from a failure to vacate, Tenant shall be liable, and shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand, for all losses incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, suits, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or relating to any such holdover tenancy, including without limitation, any claim for damages made by a succeeding tenant. Tenant’s indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Section 21.2 are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 22—DEFAULTS

22.1 Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Default” under this Lease by Tenant:

a. the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. “Abandonment” is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for five (5) business days or longer while in default of any other provision of this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period;

b. the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such failure continues for three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord that such payment was not received when due;;

c. the failure 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 Sections 22.1(a) or (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that it may be cured but more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion; or

d. A general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder (“Guarantor”) for the benefit of creditors;

e. The filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant or any Guarantor, the filing by Tenant or any Guarantor of a voluntary petition for an arrangement, the filing by or against Tenant or any Guarantor of a petition, voluntary or involuntary, for reorganization, or the filing of an involuntary petition by the creditors of Tenant or any Guarantor, said involuntary petition remaining undischarged for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days;

f. Receivership, attachment, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets on the Premises, such attachment or other seizure remaining undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after the levy thereof;

g. Death or disability of Tenant or any Guarantor, if Tenant or such Guarantor is a natural person, or the failure by Tenant or any Guarantor to maintain its legal existence, if Tenant or such Guarantor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity.

Any notice sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section 22.1 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under any applicable Law.

ARTICLE 23—REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

23.1 Landlord’s Remedies; Termination. In the event of any such Default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the remedies of Civil Code Section 1951.4 and any successor statute or similar Law, which provides that Landlord may continue this Lease in effect following Tenant’s breach and abandonment and collect rent as it falls due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject to reasonable limitations), Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder and to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of as permitted by applicable Law. If Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to: the total unamortized sum of any Abated Amount (amortized on a straight line basis over the initial Term of this Lease), tenant improvement costs; attorneys’ fees; brokers’ commissions; any costs required to return the Premises to the condition required at the end of the Term; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant’s personal property, equipment, fixtures, Alterations, Tenant

 

28


Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove; plus (e) all other monetary damages allowed under applicable Law.

As used in Sections 23.1(a) and 23.1(b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in the Summary. As used in Section 23.1(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and all those claiming under Tenant all right now or hereafter existing including, without limitation, any rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179 and Civil Code Section 1950.7 to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

23.2 Landlord’s Remedies; Continuation of Lease; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any such Default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right to (a) continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, and (b) with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of as permitted by applicable Law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 23.2, and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord’s part, shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. No notice from Landlord or notice given under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar Laws will constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any Default, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such Default.

23.3 Landlord’s Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of Rent. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations, make such payment or perform such other act as required to cure such Default on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after demand therefor as Additional Rent.

23.4 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Article 23 and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Article 23 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

23.5 Costs Upon Default and Litigation. Tenant shall pay to Landlord and its Mortgagees as Additional Rent all the expenses incurred by Landlord or its Mortgagees in connection with any default by Tenant hereunder or the exercise of any remedy by reason of any default by Tenant hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. If Landlord or its Mortgagees shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Tenant or any litigation pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, at the option of Landlord and/or its Mortgagees, Tenant, at its expense, shall provide Landlord and/or its Mortgagees with counsel approved by Landlord and/or its Mortgagees and shall pay all costs incurred or paid by Landlord and/or its Mortgagees in connection with such litigation.

ARTICLE 24—ENTRY BY LANDLORD

Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all reasonable times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply any service required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, to exhibit the Premises to prospective lenders or purchasers (or during the last year of the Term or during any default by Tenant, to prospective tenants), to post notices of non-responsibility, and/or to alter, improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building, the Facility or the Project, all without being deemed guilty of or liable for any breach of Landlord’s covenant of quiet enjoyment or any eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of Rent. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall endeavor to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant’s business, and shall provide Tenant with at least forty-eight (48) hours advance written notice of such entry (except in emergency situations and for scheduled services). For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes and other secured areas of Tenant, and Landlord shall have the means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises subject to Tenant’s reasonable security and confidentiality Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or reduction of Rent and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any damages or losses on account of any such entry by Landlord.

ARTICLE 25—LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord under this Lease (including as to any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do not constitute personal obligations of the individual members, managers, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual members, managers, investors,

 

29


partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners or any other persons or entities having any interest in Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to Tenant and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord), shall be limited solely to, and Tenant’s and its successors’ and assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be against, Landlord’s interest in the Facility and the rents, issues and proceeds therefrom, and no other assets of Landlord. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a lessee’s interest in a ground lease of, the Project. In the event of any transfer or conveyance of any such title or interest (other than a transfer for security purposes only), the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease. Landlord and Landlord’s transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Premises, the Facility, the Project and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 26—SUBORDINATION

Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building, the Facility or the Project, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). This clause shall be self-operative, but no later than ten (10) business days after written request from Landlord or any holder of a Mortgage (each, a “Mortgagee” and collectively, “Mortgagees”), Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”). As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. No later than ten (10) business days after written request by Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any current or future Law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Should Tenant fail to sign and return any such documents within said ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall be in default hereunder.

ARTICLE 27—ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

Within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit F attached hereto. Any such estoppel certificate delivered pursuant to this Article 27 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of any portion of the Project, as well as their assignees. Tenant’s failure to deliver such estoppel certificate following an additional two (2) business day cure period after notice shall constitute a default hereunder. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than one (1) month’s Rent has been paid in advance.

ARTICLE 28—INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE 29—MORTGAGEE PROTECTION

If, in connection with Landlord’s obtaining or entering into any financing or ground lease for any portion of the Facility or the Project, the lender or ground lessor shall request modifications to this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after request therefor, execute an amendment to this Lease including such modifications, provided such modifications are reasonable, do not increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant hereunder, or adversely affect the leasehold estate created hereby or Tenant’s rights hereunder. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee covering the Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default (including with respect to any such beneficiary or mortgagee, time to obtain possession of the Premises, subject to this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder, by power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure).

ARTICLE 30—QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that, upon Tenant performing all of the covenants and provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed under this Lease (including payment of Rent hereunder), Tenant shall have the right to quiet enjoyment and of the Premises and the use and occupy the Premises in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Lease is subject to the effect of covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, mortgages or deeds of trust, ground leases, rights of way and any other matters or documents of record, including but not limited to the REA, as the same may be amended from time to time and the effect of any zoning laws of the City, County and State where the Facility is situated. Tenant agrees (i) that as to its leasehold estate, Tenant, and all persons in possession or holding under Tenant, will conform to and will not violate the terms of the REA or other said matters of record; (ii) that this Lease is and shall be subordinate to the REA and any amendments or modifications thereto; and (iii) that nothing in

 

30


this Lease provides Tenant with any rights under the REA as a Party (as that term is defined in the REA) or otherwise; provided, that Tenant shall not be bound by any changes to any such documents to the extent such changes are materially adverse to Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises unless Tenant’s written consent to such changes is first obtained.

ARTICLE 31—MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

31.4 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual termination thereof shall not work as a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, either (a) terminate all or any existing subleases, or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant’s interest under any or all such subleases.

31.5 Professional Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit (or alternate dispute resolution proceedings) against the other with respect to this Lease, including for unlawful detainer, forcible entry and detainer, or any other relief against the other hereunder, then all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party therein (including, without limitation, its actual appraisers’, accountants’, attorneys’ and other professional fees, expenses and court costs), shall be paid by the other party, including any and all costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment and all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees associated with any appeal. Further, if for any reason Landlord consults legal counsel or otherwise incurs any costs or expenses as a result of its proper attempt to enforce the provisions of this Lease against Tenant, even though no litigation is commenced, or if commenced is not pursued to final judgment, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord, in addition to all other amounts for which Tenant is obligated hereunder, all of Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such acts, including attorneys’ fees incurred associated with any appeal.

31.6 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant and condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may become established between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of any party to insist upon the performance by the other in strict accordance with said terms. No waiver of any default of either party hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord or delivery by Tenant (as the case may be) of any Rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by the non-defaulting party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver.

31.7 Terms and Headings. The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include other genders. The Article and Section headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

Exhibit A-1


EXHIBIT C

WORK LETTER

1. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS; LANDLORD’S WORK. As used in the Lease and this Work Letter, the term “Tenant Improvements” or “Tenant Improvement Work” or “Tenant’s Work” means those items of general tenant improvement construction shown on the Final Plans (described in Section 4 below), more particularly described in Section 5 below. Tenant shall complete the Tenant Improvements on or before the Estimated Commencement Date. The Premises base, shell and core of the Premises is presently in good condition in compliance with applicable Laws (subject to completion of the Tenant Improvements themselves) and Landlord shall have no obligations under this Work Letter relative to delivery of the Premises.

2. WORK SCHEDULE. Prior to commencing construction, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, a schedule (“Work Schedule”), which will set forth the timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant Improvements.

3. CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVES. Landlord hereby appoints the following person(s) as Landlord’s representative (“Landlord’s Representative”) to act for Landlord in all matters covered by this Work Letter: Donna Clark. Tenant hereby appoints the following person(s) as Tenant’s representative (“Tenant’s Representative”) to act for Tenant in all matters covered by this Work Letter: Ron Menezes. All communications with respect to the matters covered by this Work Letter are to be made to Landlord’s Representative or Tenant’s Representative, as the case may be, in writing in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease. Either party may change its representative under this Work Letter at any time by written notice to the other party in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease.

4. TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

(a) Preparation of Space Plans. Landlord and Tenant hereby approve the preliminary space plans for the layout of the Premises attached to the Lease as Exhibit A (“Space Plans”).

(b) Preparation of Final Plans. Based on the approved Space Plans, and in accordance with the Work Schedule, Tenant’s architect will prepare complete architectural plans, drawings and specifications and complete engineered mechanical, structural and electrical working drawings for all of the Tenant Improvements for the Premises (collectively, the “Final Plans”). The Final Plans will show (a) the subdivision (including partitions and walls), layout, lighting, finish and decoration work (including carpeting and other floor coverings) for the Premises; (b) all internal and external communications and utility facilities which will require conduiting or other improvements from the base Building shell work and/or within common areas; and (c) all other specifications for the Tenant Improvements. The Final Plans will be submitted to Landlord for signature to confirm that they are consistent with the Space Plans. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Final Plans based on any inconsistency with the Space Plans, Landlord agrees to advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within the time frame set forth in the Work Schedule. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Tenant will then cause Tenant’s architect to redesign the Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by Landlord so as to make the Final Plans consistent with the Space Plans. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, upon Landlord’s review and final approval of Tenant’s space plan, Landlord shall notify Tenant which if any elements of the Tenant Improvements Tenant will be required to remove upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, which shall include, in any event, Tenant’s Lab elements of the Premises and restoration of such areas of the Premises to the condition existing prior to installation of Tenant’s Lab improvements. Tenant shall deliver the Premises back to Landlord in broom clean condition, reasonable wear and tear accepted, with all furniture, fixtures, equipment & cabling removed.

(c) Requirements of Tenant’s Final Plans. Tenant’s Final Plans will include locations and complete dimensions, and the Tenant Improvements, as shown on the Final Plans, will: (i) be compatible with the Building shell and with the design, construction and equipment of the Building; (ii) if not comprised of the Building standards set forth in the written description thereof (the “Standards”), then compatible with and of at least equal quality as the Standards and approved by Landlord; (iii) comply with all applicable Laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and all applicable insurance regulations; (iv) not require Building service beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Building and will not overload the Building floors; and (v) be of a nature and quality consistent with the overall objectives of Landlord for the Building and the Facility, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Landlord acknowledges Tenant’s intent to install a laboratory component within the Premises and that such Lab installation will not be grounds for Landlord’s disapproval of Tenant’s Final Plans subject to Landlord’s rights herein to review and reasonably approve the plans for such Lab and to require removal of the Lab elements and return to shell condition upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(d) Submittal of Final Plans. Once approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s architect will submit the Final Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit. Tenant’s architect, with Landlord’s cooperation, will make any changes to the Final Plans which are requested by the applicable governmental authorities to obtain the building permit. After approval of the Final Plans no further changes may be made without the prior written approval of both Landlord and Tenant, and then only after agreement by Tenant to pay any excess costs resulting from the design and/or construction of such changes.

(e) Changes to Shell of Building. If the Final Plans or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto shall require changes in the Building shell, the increased cost of the Building shell work caused by such changes will be paid for by Tenant or charged against the Allowance. Landlord shall be responsible for any ADA or Path of Travel upgrades or modifications required outside of Tenant’s Premises unless attributable to Tenant’s specific use or Tenant Improvements for other than general office use such as Tenant’s Lab. Should any hazardous materials be discovered or disturbed in connection with the Tenant Improvements, Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall abate and remove.

 

Exhibit C-1


(f) Work Cost Estimate and Statement. Prior to the commencement of construction of any of the Tenant Improvements shown on the Final Plans, Tenant will submit to Landlord a written estimate of the cost to complete the Tenant Improvement Work, which written estimate will be based on the Final Plans taking into account any modifications which may be required to reflect changes in the Final Plans required by the City or County in which the Premises are located (the “Work Cost Estimate”). Landlord in its reasonable discretion will either approve the Work Cost Estimate or disapprove specific items and submit to Tenant revisions to the Final Plans to reflect deletions of and/or substitutions for such disapproved items. Submission and approval of the Work Cost Estimate will proceed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Upon Landlord’s approval of the Work Cost Estimate (such approved Work Cost Estimate to be hereinafter known as the “Work Cost Statement”), Tenant will have the right to purchase materials and to commence the construction of the items included in the Work Cost Statement pursuant to Section 6 hereof. If the total costs reflected in the Work Cost Statement exceed the Allowance, Tenant agrees to pay such excess.]

5. PAYMENT FOR THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

(a) Allowance. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an Allowance as referenced in the Summary. The Allowance is to be used only for:

(i) Payment of the cost of preparing the Space Plans and the Final Plans, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural drawings and of all other aspects necessary to complete the Final Plans. The Allowance will not be used for the payment of extraordinary design work not consistent with the scope of the Standards (i.e., above-standard design work) or for payments to any other consultants, designers or architects other than Landlord’s architect, Tenant’s architect and Tenant’s Project Manager.

(ii) The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements.

The Tenant Improvements will be deemed to be “substantially completed” when Tenant: (i) has obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy or other required equivalent approval from the local governmental authority permitting occupancy of the Premises and (ii) has substantially performed all of the Tenant Improvement Work required to be performed by Tenant under this Work Letter, other than minor “punch-list” type items and adjustments which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Premises. Within ten (10) days after substantial completion, Tenant and Landlord will conduct a walk-through inspection of the Premises and prepare a written punch-list specifying those punch-list items which require completion, which items Tenant will thereafter diligently complete.

8. MISCELLANEOUS CONSTRUCTION COVENANTS

(a) No Liens. Tenant shall not allow the Tenant Improvements or the Building or any portion thereof to be subjected to any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens or encumbrances arising out of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

(b) Diligent Construction. Tenant will promptly, diligently and continuously pursue construction of the Tenant Improvements to successful completion in full compliance with the Final Plans, the Work Schedule and this Work Letter. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with one another during the performance of Tenant’s Work to effectuate such work in a timely and compatible manner.

(c) Compliance with Laws. Tenant will construct the Tenant Improvements in a safe and lawful manner. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable laws and all regulations and requirements of, and all licenses and permits issued by, all municipal or other governmental bodies with jurisdiction which pertain to the installation of the Tenant Improvements. Copies of all filed documents and all permits and licenses shall be provided to Landlord. Any portion of the Tenant Improvements which is not acceptable to any applicable governmental body, agency or department, or not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be promptly repaired or replaced by Tenant at Tenant’s expense. Notwithstanding any failure by Landlord to object to any such Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall have no responsibility therefor.

(d) Indemnification. Subject to the terms of the Lease regarding insurance and waiver of subrogation by the parties, Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Landlord, the Premises and the Building harmless from and against any and all suits, claims, actions, losses, costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees for counsel of Landlord’s choice, arising out of or in connection with the Tenant Improvements or the performance of Tenant’s Work (including, but not limited to, claims for breach of warranty, worker’s compensation, personal injury or property damage, and any materialmen’s and mechanic’s liens).

 

Exhibit C-4


(e) Insurance. Construction of the Tenant Improvements shall not proceed without Tenant first acquiring workers’ compensation and commercial general liability insurance and property damage insurance as well as “All Risks” builders’ risk insurance, with minimum coverage of $2,000,000 or such other amount as may be approved by Landlord in writing and issued by an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a completion and lien indemnity bond or other surety satisfactory to Landlord with respect to the performance of the Tenant Improvements. Not less than thirty (30) days before commencing the construction of the Tenant Improvements, certificates of such insurance shall be furnished to Landlord or, if requested, the original policies thereof shall be submitted for Landlord’s approval. All such policies shall provide that thirty (30) days prior notice must be given to Landlord before modification, termination or cancellation. All insurance policies maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter shall name Landlord and any lender with an interest in the Premises as additional insureds and comply with all of the applicable terms and provisions of the Lease relating to insurance. Tenant’s contractor shall be required to maintain the same insurance policies as Tenant, and such policies shall name Tenant, Landlord and any lender with an interest in the Premises as additional insureds.

(f) Construction Defects. Landlord shall have no responsibility for the Tenant Improvements and Tenant will remedy, at Tenant’s own expense, and be responsible for any and all defects in the Tenant Improvements that may appear during or after the completion thereof whether the same shall affect the Tenant Improvements in particular or any parts of the Premises in general. Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord by reason of any defect in any portion of the Tenant Improvements constructed by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor or subcontractors, or by reason of inadequate cleanup following completion of the Tenant Improvements.

(g) Additional Services. If the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall require that additional services or facilities (including, but not limited to, hoisting, cleanup or other cleaning services, trash removal, field supervision, or ordering of materials) be provided by Landlord, then Tenant shall pay Landlord for such items at Landlord’s actual cost or at a reasonable charge if the item involves time of Landlord’s personnel only. Electrical power and heating, ventilation and air conditioning shall be available to Tenant during normal business hours for construction purposes at no charge to Tenant.

(h) Coordination of Labor. All of Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors, employees, servants and agents must work in harmony with and shall not interfere with any labor employed by Landlord, or Landlord’s contractors or by any other tenant or its contractors with respect to the any portion of the Project. Nothing in this Work Letter shall, however, require Tenant to use union labor.

(i) Work in Adjacent Areas. Any work to be performed in areas adjacent to the Premises shall be performed only after obtaining Landlord’s express written permission, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be done only if an agent or employee of Landlord is present; Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the expense of any such employee or agent.

(j) HVAC Systems. Tenant agrees to be entirely responsible for the maintenance or the balancing of any heating, ventilating or air conditioning system installed by Tenant and/or maintenance of the electrical or plumbing work installed by Tenant and/or for maintenance of lighting fixtures, partitions, doors, hardware or any other installations made by Tenant.

(k) Coordination with Lease. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as (i) constituting Tenant as Landlord’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, or (ii) a waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any of the terms or provisions of the Lease. Any default by Tenant following the giving of notice and the passage of any applicable cure period with respect to any portion of this Work Letter shall be deemed a breach of the Lease for which Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies as in the case of a breach of said Lease.

(l) Approval of Plans. Landlord will not check Tenant drawings for building code compliance. Approval of the Final Plans by Landlord is not a representation that the drawings are in compliance with the requirements of governing authorities, and it shall be Tenant’s responsibility to meet and comply with all federal, state, and local code requirements. Approval of the Final Plans does not constitute assumption of responsibility by Landlord or its architect for their accuracy, sufficiency or efficiency, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for such matters.

(m) Tenant’s Deliveries. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, at least five (5) days prior to the commencement of construction of Tenant’s Work, the following information:

(i) The names, addresses, telephone numbers, and primary contacts for the general, mechanical and electrical contractors Tenant intends to engage in the performance of Tenant’s Work; and

(ii) The date on which Tenant’s Work will commence, together with the estimated dates of completion of Tenant’s construction and fixturing work.

(n) Qualification of Contractors. Once the Final Plans have been proposed and approved, Tenant shall select and retain a contractor, subcontractors and vendors (such as HVAC engineers) from a list of preferred contractors, subcontractors and vendors provided by Landlord in connection with all aspects of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvement Work in accordance with the Final Plans. All contractors, subcontractors and vendors engaged by Tenant shall be bondable and licensed, possessing good labor relations, capable of performing quality workmanship and working in harmony with Landlord’ s general contractor and other contractors on the job, if any, all as determined by Landlord. All Tenant Improvement Work shall be coordinated with any ongoing general construction work on the Site or in the Building, if any.

 

Exhibit C-5


(o) Warranties. Tenant shall cause its contractor to provide warranties for not less than one (1) year (or such shorter time as may be customary and available without additional expense to Tenant) against defects in workmanship, materials and equipment, which warranties shall run to the benefit of Landlord or shall be assignable to Landlord to the extent that Landlord is obligated to maintain any of the improvements covered by such warranties.

(p) Landlord’s Performance of Work. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Work Letter, if Tenant shall fail to commence to cure such failure, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform, on behalf of and for the account of Tenant, subject to reimbursement of the cost thereof by Tenant, any and all of Tenant’s Work which Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, should be performed immediately and on an emergency basis for the best interest of the Premises including, without limitation, work which pertains to structural components, mechanical, sprinkler and general utility systems, roofing and removal of unduly accumulated construction material and debris; provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to give Tenant at least ten (10) days prior notice to the performance of any of Tenant’s Work.

(q) As-Built Drawings. Tenant shall cause “As-Built Drawings” (excluding furniture, fixtures and equipment) to be delivered to Landlord and/or Landlord’s representative no later than sixty (60) days after the completion of Tenant’s Work. In the event these drawings are not received by such date, Landlord may, at its election, cause said drawings to be obtained and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the cost of producing these drawings.

9. FREIGHT/CONSTRUCTION ELEVATOR. Landlord will, consistent with its obligation to other tenants in the Facility, if appropriate and necessary, make the freight/construction elevator reasonably available to Tenant in connection with the Tenant Improvement Work and initial decorating, furnishing and moving into the Premises. Tenant agrees to pay for any after-hours staffing of the freight/construction elevator, if needed.

10. FF&E COSTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right to apply a portion of the unused Allowance, in the amount of up to ten dollars ($10.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., up to $136,690.00, based on the Premises consisting of approximately 13,669 rentable square feet), to reimburse Tenant for (a) Tenant’s reasonable moving and relocation costs or (b) the procurement and installation of cabling, furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the Premises (collectively, “FF&E Costs”), provided that Tenant submits to Landlord copies of contracts, receipts, invoices, and other back-up documentation reasonably requested by Landlord evidencing such FF&E Costs, if at all, within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date.

SAN JOAQUIN MARSH INFORMATION

Adjacent to Park Place is a unique marsh wetlands habitat which is managed by the University of California Natural Reserve System. The San Joaquin Marsh (“Marsh”) is considered a valuable open space and scenic resource in the City of Irvine and is planned to remain a balanced ecological system in perpetuity. As outlined in this Exhibit J, the Marsh contains plant and animal life that are carefully protected by various local, State, and federal resource agencies. Other information in this Exhibit J addresses marsh related health and safety issues that all tenants, residents and day care facility patrons of Park Place should understand.

Over the last several decades, urban uses have been developing adjacent to the Marsh habitat and an urban environment has been introduced into an area where only open space previously existed. Consequently, the tenants and residents of Park Place and other developments located adjacent to the Marsh are exposed to conditions that are natural to the Marsh but also present potential health risks to humans. These risks are significantly reduced and monitored by County agencies and are also minimized by a number of Marsh enhancement programs designed to improve Marsh quality.

The figure provided below illustrates the relationship of the San Joaquin Marsh to Park Place and other local features in Irvine.

 

San Joaquin Marsh is a regionally significant freshwater marsh and is one of the few remaining freshwater marsh habitats in Orange County. The Marsh, maintained and partially owned by the University of California (south of Campus Drive), and partially owned by The Irvine Company (north of Campus Drive) is a 400± acre open space and natural wildlife habitat. Excellent examples of lowland riparian and regionally limited freshwater marsh habitats are present, most of which have been set aside as part of the University of California National Reserve System.

Freshwater marsh habitat supports a great diversity of wildlife. The San Joaquin Marsh is most important to resident and migratory waterfowl and shorebirds, which either breed here or are found in very high numbers during the spring and fall migration periods. The Marsh also contains habitat that still supports most of the amphibian, reptile and mammalian species typical of rural Southern California (including deer, bobcats and coyotes).

Three rare/endangered species can be found using the Marsh. These species include light-footed clapper rail, California least tern and the Belding’s savannah sparrow. In addition, the least Bell’s vireo and Swainson’s hawk have been sighted in the Marsh on several occasions.

Additional information regarding the San Joaquin Freshwater Marsh can be obtained from the Marsh Steward, University of California Natural Reserve System ###-###-####. Tours of the Marsh can also be arranged through the Marsh Steward.

Vectors

Due to the large surface area of standing water within the Marsh, The San Joaquin Marsh is a breeding habitat for numerous mosquito species. Two mosquito species which have been identified in the Marsh represent a potential health threat to the surrounding human population: Culex tarsalis, potential carrier and transmitter of the encephalitis virus, and Anopheles freeborni, potential carrier and transmitter of the malaria virus. In addition, a third species, Culex ervthrothorax, are common to the Marsh. These species are most active during the mosquito breeding season from May to October. There is no record of any virus transmission to human due to mosquitoes breeding in the Marsh. It should be noted, however, that infants and small children (up to 3 to 4 years old) have a higher mortality rate than adults in cases where encephalitis virus is transmitted. Although children staying at the day care facility will be playing in outdoor areas, their play time normally occurs during the day time hours and not during evening hours when the Culex tarsalis is the most active. Persons seeking additional information on mosquito-transmitted viruses are encouraged to call the Orange County Vector Control District at ###-###-####.

 

Exhibit J-1


Lyme Disease

Due to the rural nature of the Marsh, it is a potential habitat for ticks. Ticks are known carriers of Lyme disease. This represents a potential health threat to the surrounding population. Extensive investigation of this potential health threat has not been conducted in the Marsh. However, in one investigation, ticks analyzed from the Marsh were not carriers of Lyme Disease.

Vector Control

The Orange County Vector Control District currently conducts chemical spraying of the Marsh three days a week during the mosquito breeding cycle. Chemicals used in the spraying are sprayed from a truck on roads surrounding the Marsh. Chemicals used in the spraying are currently limited to a chemical known as “Scourge SBP-1382”. The chemical is non-persistent and degrades in sunlight.

Tenants of the Park Place site are encouraged to avoid the Marsh during and after spraying. A microbiological control agent called Bti is also applied at various times in the Marsh and is distributed in pellet form by hand. Bti is most effective on Culex and least effective on Anopheles freeborni. The following indicates the approximate application frequency of these agents:

 

   

Scourge is applied to adulticide the mosquito population in the Marsh ponds an average of three nights per week between March and October.

 

   

Bti is applied in the former Duck Club ponds approximately 2-3 times per month from October to April.

According to the Vector Control District, neither Bti nor Scourge is harmful to humans at the levels and frequency currently applied in the Marsh. These controls are highly effective in controlling target species (mosquitoes), but are extremely safe to humans. In addition, the Vector Control District only applies these controls during favorable atmospheric conditions thus confining the control agents to the immediate marsh locality.

Wetland Fires

San Joaquin Marsh currently supports high density vegetation. This vegetation is not routinely cleared and, although the probability is low, it represents a potential fire hazard. Vegetation which is dry in the summer months and has the potential to support a wetland fire include cattails, willows and ruderal grasses.

Precautions to Preserve the Marsh

The following precautions and prohibitions are recommended for the protection and safety of Park Place residents and tenants, as well as to minimize disturbances to the Marsh wildlife and habitat.

 

   

Recognize and obey the signs along the Marsh perimeter that restrict unauthorized access into the Marsh.

 

   

Do not enter the Marsh unless you have obtained permission from the Marsh Steward. Permission can be obtained from the University of California Natural Reserve System by calling ###-###-####.

 

   

Ownership of dogs, cats and birds is prohibited at Park Place in order to prevent disruption of the native Marsh wildlife. Please do not keep these pets in your home.

 

   

Tenants of Park Place are discouraged from walking along the edge of the Marsh, especially in the evening hours during the mosquito breeding cycle (usually May to October).

 

   

Lit cigarettes have the capability to start a wetland fire within the Marsh. Broken glass may also cause damage to the Marsh. Extreme caution should be used to ensure the long range preservation of the Marsh.

Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), on the same terms, covenants, and conditions as provided for in the Lease during the initial Term, except for the Monthly Base Rent, which shall initially be equal to the “fair market rental rate” for the Premises for the Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of the Fair Market Rental Rate Rider attached to the Lease as Rider No. 2, subject to fair market annual rent adjustments during the Option Term.

2. The Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice (“Extension Notice”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord no sooner than that date which is twelve (12) months and no later than that date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term of the Lease. Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Extension Option, the then current Term of the Lease shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that the Monthly Base Rent shall be as set forth above, and except that there shall be no remaining Extension Option.

FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE

RIDER NO. 2 TO LEASE

This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between LBA IV-PPI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and SIENTRA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all Exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.

1. The term “fair market rental rate” as used in this Rider and any Rider attached to the Lease means the annual amount per square foot, projected for each year of the Option Term (including annual adjustments), that a willing, non-equity tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable quality building located in the Orange County Airport area would accept, in an arm’s length transaction (what Landlord is accepting in then current transactions for the Facility may be used for purposes of projecting rent for the Option Term), for space of comparable size, quality and floor height as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises, and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, parking charges and any other lease considerations, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar buildings. All economic terms other than Monthly Base Rent, such as tenant improvement allowance amounts, if any, operating expenses, parking charges, etc., will be established by Landlord and will be factored into the determination of the fair market rental rate for the Option Term. Accordingly, the fair market rental rate will be an effective rate, not specifically including, but accounting for, the appropriate economic considerations described above.

2. Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlord’s determination of the fair market rental rate not later than sixty (60) days after the day upon which Tenant timely exercises the right giving rise to the necessity for such fair market rental rate determination. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenant’s Review Period shall conclusively be deemed Tenant’s approval and acceptance thereof. If within Tenant’s Review Period Tenant objects to or is deemed to have disapproved the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will meet together with their respective legal counsel to present and discuss their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises under the parameters set forth in Paragraph 1 above and shall diligently and in good faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period. The parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and documentation as they deem appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to the other their respective best and final offer as to the fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the “Outside Agreement Date”), each party’s determination shall be submitted to appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below.

3. (a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) independent appraiser who shall by profession be an M.A.I. certified real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial (including office) properties in the Orange County Airport area. The determination of the appraisers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) best and final fair market rental rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental rate for the Premises as determined by the appraisers, taking into account the requirements specified in Section 1 above. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date.

(b) The two (2) appraisers so appointed shall within ten (10) business days after the date of the appointment of the last appointed appraiser agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers.

(c) The three (3) appraisers shall within ten (10) business days after the appointment of the third appraiser reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. During such ten (10) business day period, Landlord and Tenant may submit to the appraisers such information and documentation to support their respective positions as they shall deem reasonably relevant and Landlord and Tenant may each appear before the appraisers jointly to question and respond to questions from the appraisers.

(d) The decision of the majority of the three (3) appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the Extension Option. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period specified in Section 3(a) hereinabove, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall within ten (10) business days following the date on which the party failing to appoint an appraiser could have last appointed such appraiser reach a decision based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate), and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the Extension Option.

 

Rider No. 2 - 1


(e) If the two (2) appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, either party, upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Orange County to appoint a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth herein. The third appraiser, however, selected shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party.

(f) The cost of each party’s appraiser shall be the responsibility of the party selecting such appraiser, and the cost of the third appraiser (or arbitration, if necessary) shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.

(g) If the process described hereinabove has not resulted in a selection of either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate by the commencement of the Option Term, then the fair market rental rate estimated by Landlord will be used until the appraiser(s) reach a decision, with an appropriate rental credit and other adjustments for any overpayments of Monthly Base Rent or other amounts if the appraisers select Tenant’s submitted best and final estimate of the fair market rental rate. The parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the terms of the decision.
