4.1.3 The term “operating expenses” shall include all direct costs of operation, maintenance, and management of the entire Building, including the Premises, measured under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. By way of illustration, but not limitation, operating expenses shall include the cost or charges for the following items, each solely to the extent in connection with the management and operation of the Building: heat, light, water, sewer, power, steam, and other utilities (including without limitation any temporary or permanent utility surcharge or other exaction, whether now or later imposed) supplied to the Common Areas, waste disposal and janitorial services supplied to the Common Areas, guard services, exterior window cleaning, common area air conditioning, materials and supplies, equipment and tools, service agreements on equipment, insurance premiums, licenses, permits and inspections, wages and salaries, management services, employee benefits and payroll taxes, direct taxes (as defined below), accounting and legal expenses, management fees (which shall in no event exceed six percent (6%) of the gross rents from the Building payable in the Base Year, and shall in all cases be competitively priced), cleaning and maintenance of flooring in public corridors and other Common Areas, and, after the Base Year, the reasonable cost of contesting the validity or applicability of any governmental enactments if it results in a reduction of operating expenses (but in no event shall the costs of such contest exceed the reasonably anticipated cost savings to be derived therefrom). In no event shall operating expenses include any amounts on Attachment A. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Lease, operating expenses shall not include any of the following: (a) the cost of any new type of insurance coverage which is obtained or effected by Landlord during any calendar year or part thereof following the Base Year but which was not obtained or effected during the Base Year unless Landlord adjusts the Base Year to include the cost of such new type of insurance coverage that would have been included in the Base Year had Landlord then maintained such insurance coverage; or (b) those portions of deductibles (including any self-insurance amounts) under Landlord’s insurance which are in excess of deductibles (or self insurance amounts) customarily carried (or retained) by prudent institutional landlords of comparable buildings; or (c) deductibles for earthquake insurance. Moreover, in the event that Landlord drops any type of insurance coverage in any calendar year following the Base Year, then the same category of coverage shall be dropped as a line item included in the costs for the Base Year.
4.1.4 The term “direct taxes” shall include all real property taxes and assessments on the Building, the land on which the Building is situated, and the various estates in the Building and the land. Direct taxes shall also include all personal property taxes levied on the property and assessed in lieu of, in substitution for, or in addition to, existing or additional real or personal property taxes on said Building, land, or personal property, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties, other than taxes paid by Tenant or any other tenant of the Building; taxes upon the gross or net rental income of Landlord derived from the Building and the land (excluding, however, city, county, state, and federal personal or entity income taxes measured by the income or gross receipts of Landlord from all sources and any franchise, inheritance or capital stock taxes and document transfer fees) and the cost to Landlord of contesting the amount or validity or applicability of any of such taxes. Net recoveries through protest, appeals, or other actions taken by Landlord in its discretion, after deduction of all reasonable, out of pocket costs and expenses, including counsel and other fees, shall be deducted from direct taxes for the year of receipt. Except as provided in Section 4.1.6 below, direct taxes shall not include any of the following: (i) any penalties, late charges or interest thereon; (ii) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord's general or net income, (however, if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of any direct taxes, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment or charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the Project, then all such taxes, assessments or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “direct taxes” for purposes hereof); (iii) any taxes paid directly by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease (or would be paid by other tenants of the Building if their leases include provisions comparable to this Lease); (iv) any real property taxes imposed with respect to any improvements constructed within the Building after the date hereof, unless such improvements are required to comply with applicable Laws not in effect on the Commencement Date. The initial real property taxes for the Building (calculated on a fully assessed, constructed, and occupied basis) shall be included in direct taxes for the Base Year.
4.1.5 Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, and public charges that are assessed, and which become payable during the Lease Term, upon Tenant’s alterations, improvements, fixtures, furniture, and personal property installed or located in the Premises. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay any portion of taxes assessed as a result of improvements installed in the Building other than the Premises or the Common Areas (subject to Base Year offset). Landlord may instruct all taxing authorities to mail the appropriate statements and billings directly to Tenant at the address set forth in the Special Lease Terms above. If Tenant fails to pay taxes, assessments, and charges that would constitute a lien or encumbrance on the Property when due, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay those taxes, assessments, or charges, together with interest and penalties. Any amount that Landlord may pay pursuant to this Section shall incur interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and shall be repaid to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of written request therefor from Landlord as Additional Rent.
4.1.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, any (a) rent tax, gross receipts tax, sales or use tax, service tax, value added tax, or any other applicable tax based on Landlord’s receipt, or the payment by Tenant, of any rent or services herein; and (b) 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. In the event that it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for such taxes, the monthly rent payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net to Landlord the same amount after imposition of any such tax upon Landlord as would have been received by Landlord under this Lease prior to the imposition of such tax.
4.1.7 Tenant shall have the right to cause Landlord to apply for a reduction of the Building’s property taxes under Proposition 8 not more often than once per year, and in the event Landlord receives a reduction, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction against its share of direct taxes applicable to the year in which the reduction is granted.
4.2 Payment. As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of operating expenses and direct taxes in excess of those paid or incurred by Landlord during the Base Year. If at any time during the term of the Lease, including, without limitation, the Base Year, less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total RSF of the Building is occupied, the operating expenses and direct taxes shall be adjusted by Landlord to reasonably approximate the operating expenses and direct taxes which would have been incurred if the Building had been one hundred percent (100%) occupied.
At or after the commencement of any calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s estimate of the amount of any increase in operating expenses and direct taxes for such calendar year over operating expenses and direct taxes for the Base Year and of the amount of such estimated increases owed by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month during such calendar year one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of such estimated increases in operating expenses and direct taxes payable by Tenant. A statement of the amount of actual operating expenses and direct taxes for the preceding calendar year and of the amount of such increases payable by Tenant (the “Annual OpEx Statement”) shall be given to Tenant on before April 1 of the immediately succeeding calendar year. All amounts owed by Tenant as shown on the Annual OpEx Statement, less any amounts paid by Tenant, shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Annual OpEx Statement to Tenant. In the event that Tenant has paid in any given year more than Tenant’s Share, then such overpayment shall be applied toward the Monthly Rent for the following year or, if the Lease has terminated, such overpayment shall be promptly refunded to Tenant.
4.3 Proration. Tenant’s Share of operating expenses and direct taxes for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated based on the number of days from and including the commencement of said calendar year to and including the date on which this Lease terminates divided by 365.

The audit shall be binding on the parties. If the audit determines an overpayment by Tenant, Landlord shall promptly refund the amount of such overpayment to Tenant.

6. Compliance With Laws; ADA
6.1 Compliance with Law. “Law(s)” means any law, statute, code, constitution, ordinance, resolution, regulation, rule, requirement, license, permit, certificate, administrative order, judgment, decree, or direction of any present or future municipal, county, state, federal, or other governmental or quasi-governmental agency, authority, department, board, panel, or court having jurisdiction over the parties to this Lease or the Premises or the Building in effect as of the Commencement Date or which may thereafter be enacted, adopted, amended, or modified. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises that will in any way conflict with any Law. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all Laws and with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or similar body now or in the future constituted, relating to or affecting Tenant’s use of the Premises, any work or improvements, alterations, additions, or fixtures made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant (other than Landlord’s Work) or triggered by Tenant’s specific use of the Premises. It is the intent of the parties to allocate to Tenant the cost of compliance with any and all Laws, regardless of the existing condition of the Premises as of the Commencement Date, the cost of compliance, or the foreseeability of the enactment or application of the Laws to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to make structural changes to the Premises or alter or improve any Building systems for which Landlord is responsible unless they arise or are required because of or in connection with Tenant’s use of the Premises, any work or improvements, alterations, additions, or fixtures made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, or Tenant’s acts or omissions
6.2 Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act. The Premises and the Building may be subject to, among other Laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§12101 et seq.), including, but not limited to Title III of that Act, and all Laws, including, without limitation, all requirements of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, as the same may be in effect as of the Commencement Date or which may thereafter be enacted, adopted, amended, or modified (collectively, the “ADA”). All Landlord Work, and any Tenant improvements, alterations, additions, or fixtures must comply with the requirements of the ADA. Landlord warrants and represents that, as of the execution of this Lease, the Building’s Common Areas and path of travel are in compliance with the ADA, and that all Landlord’s Work and future construction including the patio, by Landlord shall be performed in compliance with the ADA, to the extent applicable. If any barrier removal work or other work is required to the Building or the Common Areas under the ADA, then such work will be the responsibility of Landlord and subject to reimbursement as an operating expense (subject to the limitations of Attachment A) as provided elsewhere in the Lease; except, however, if such work is required to the Building or the Common Areas under the ADA as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises, any work or improvements, alterations, additions, or fixtures made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant (other than Landlord’s Work), or Tenant’s acts or omissions, then such work will be performed by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, and Tenant shall within ten (10) days receipt pay all invoices, which invoices shall include any and all costs associated with Landlord’s compliance with the ADA, therefore as additional rent. Tenant will be responsible at its sole cost and expense for fully and faithfully complying with all applicable requirements of the ADA to the extent such requirements apply to Tenant’s use, occupancy, acts, or omissions and any work or improvements, alterations, additions, or fixtures made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant (other than Landlord’s Work).
6.3 Notification. Each of Tenant and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to notify the other party hereto if it makes alterations to the Premises or the Common Areas, as the case may be, that might impact accessibility under the ADA. If a complaint is received by Landlord from either a private or government complainant regarding disability access to the Common Areas, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant thereof, but Landlord reserves the right to mediate, contest, comply with or otherwise respond to such complaint as Landlord reasonably determines to be prudent under the circumstances. Within ten (10) business days after receipt by Tenant, Tenant will advise Landlord in writing, and provide Landlord with copies of (as applicable), (a) any notices alleging violation of the ADA relating to any portion of the Premises, the Building, or the Common Areas; (b) any claims made or threatened orally or in writing regarding noncompliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises, the Building, or the Common Areas; or (c) any governmental or regulatory actions or investigations instituted or threatened regarding noncompliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Premises, the Building, or the Common Areas. The notification attached hereto as Attachment D regarding disability access pursuant to San Francisco ordinance is hereby incorporated into this Lease and Tenant hereby acknowledges receipt thereof and the parties hereto shall execute same prior to the execution of this Lease. In addition, Tenant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Small Business Commission Access Information Notice under Section 38.6 of the Administrative Code.
6.4 California Civil Code Section 1938. Landlord has not hired a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) to inspect any portion of the Premises, Building, or Common Areas. No determination or report pursuant to California Civil Code Section 55.53 has been made regarding any construction-related accessibility standards. This provision is intended to satisfy California Civil Code Section 1938.
6.5 Indemnity. Each party will and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the other party), and hold harmless each other party and their respective agents and employees from and against all liabilities, damages, claims, losses, penalties, judgments, charges, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of court, and expenses necessary in the prosecution or defense of any litigation including the enforcement of this provision) arising from or in any way related to, directly or indirectly, any act, negligence or failure of either party to comply with the terms of this Section of the Lease. The parties agree that the obligations of this Section of the Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
7. Option to Extend
7.1 Grant and Exercise. Tenant shall have an irrevocable option to extend the Lease Term (“Option to Extend”) for an additional term (“Extended Term”) as delineated in the Special Lease Terms, upon all the same terms and conditions of this Lease, excepting only that Monthly Rent shall be determined as provided below. The Option to Extend shall be exercised by Tenant giving irrevocable notice of such exercise to Landlord not less than twelve (12) months nor more than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term then in effect. The Lease Term may not be extended with respect to less than the entire Premises, then being leased by Tenant. The Option to Extend is personal to Tenant; however, in the event Tenant assigns or sublets the Lease to an affiliate or Permitted Transferee, such party shall have the right to exercise the Option to Extend, in accordance with the provisions in this Section 7 as Tenant.
7.2 Monthly Rent during Extended Term.
7.2.1 The Monthly Rent payable during the Extended Term shall be 100% of Fair Market Rent. For purposes hereof, “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the effective base rental rates (including periodic adjustments to such base rental rates) then being received for premises of similar size and quality to the Premises, zoned to allow “PDR” use, located in the South of Market submarket of San Francisco which are similar in size, quality, age and location to the Building, leased for terms of approximately five (5) years, and otherwise subject to leases containing substantially similar terms as those contained in this Lease (with due consideration of all relevant factors, including without limitation, prevailing market concessions for renewing tenants at that time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Fair Market Rent” shall not include any rental value attributable to improvements, alterations, fixtures, equipment, and personal property installed in the Premises at Tenant’s expense. In determining Fair Market Rent, no consideration shall be given to any savings to Landlord attributable to Landlord not incurring any costs for brokerage commissions, rent holidays, tenant improvements and/or tenant improvement and/or test-fit allowances (if any).
7.2.2 In the event the parties cannot mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rent, the following procedures shall apply. Not more than six (6) months nor less than three (3) months prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, Landlord and Tenant shall meet and attempt in good faith to determine and mutually agree upon the Monthly Rent to be paid during the Extended Term. If, three (3) months prior to the commencement of the Extended Term (the “Trigger Date”), the parties have not so met or have met but not reached agreement, then the following procedure shall be used:
7.2.3 Within ten (10) days after the Trigger Date at a time and place to be mutually agreed by the parties (or failing such agreement at 9:00 a.m. PST at the Premises on the tenth (10th) day after the Trigger Date), Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rent for the Extended Term. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to propose a Fair Market Rent at such time and place, then the Fair Market Rent for the Extended Term proposed by the other party shall prevail. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower, then the Fair Market Rent shall be the average of the two. Otherwise, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the remainder of this Section. Within ten (10) days after the exchange of estimates, each party, at its cost and by giving notice to the other, shall appoint an arbitrator, who shall be a real estate broker with not less than five (5) years full-time commercial lease experience in the South of Market submarket of San Francisco, to determine the Fair Market Rent. If a party does not appoint an arbitrator within said ten (10) day period, the single broker appointed shall be the sole arbitrator and shall set the Fair Market Rent. Landlord and Tenant shall submit their respective determinations of the then prevailing Fair Market Rent to the arbitrator(s), at such time and in such manner as directed by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall select either Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of the then prevailing Fair Market Rent. If two (2) arbitrators are appointed, and they are unable to agree within thirty (30) days, they shall select a third broker meeting the qualifications stated above within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) brokers are given to determine the Fair Market Rent. If they are unable to agree on a third broker, either of the parties to this Lease, by giving ten (10) days notice to the other, may file a petition with the American Arbitration Association solely for the purpose of selecting a neutral third broker who meets the qualifications stated herein. Each party shall bear half the cost of the American Arbitration Association appointing the third broker and of paying the third broker’s fee. The third broker shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either of the parties hereto. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third broker, a majority of the brokers shall select either Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of the then prevailing Fair Market Rent. After the Fair Market Rent has been determined, the arbitrator(s) shall immediately notify Landlord and Tenant, and the decision thereof shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. The cost of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceeding shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally, except that each party shall pay for the cost of its own witnesses and attorneys.
8. Utilities and Services . Tenant shall pay to Landlord the direct cost of utilities, janitorial service and trash collection expenses allocated to the Premises. To the extent separate utility metering is available to the Premises, Tenant shall engage and procure its own utility services to the Premises, including electrical and telecommunications. Tenant shall be responsible to determine that, subject to completion of Landlord’s Work, there is sufficient utility capacity in the Premises for purposes of conducting Tenant’s use.

If any portion of said Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall within five (5) business days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.

Landlord shall have no right to terminate the Lease in connection with, and shall have no right to any sums or other economic consideration resulting from, any Permitted Transfer.
13.2 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s withholding of consent is conclusively reasonable in any of the following situations:
13.2.1 Tenant has not provided sufficient information to Landlord that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would enable Landlord to determine that the proposed transferee has a financial condition sufficient to perform its obligations hereunder in case of an assignment or under a sublease in the case of a subletting. In order to determine whether a proposed transfer satisfies such criteria, Tenant shall, prior to any such transfer, provide Landlord with such information as Landlord may reasonably request, including, but not limited to, current, complete and accurate audited or certified financial statements of the proposed transferee, and federal and state tax returns of the proposed transferee.
13.2.2 The proposed transferee will not make use of the Premises which (1) is unlawful or (2) is inconsistent with the permitted use of the Premises under this Lease.
13.2.3 Tenant has failed to pay all of Landlord’s reasonable documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiation, review and processing of the transfer, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any more than $1,500 in the aggregate for such costs and expenses.
13.2.4 The proposed assignee has not assumed in writing in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
13.2.5 At the time of the proposed transfer, Tenant has committed a Default hereunder which has not been cured within the applicable notice and cure periods.
13.3 Additionally, Landlord may require as a condition of such approval that all Landlord’s reasonable out of pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in evaluating and approving any such assignment be paid by Tenant, subject to the limitations under Section 13.2.3. No subletting or assignment, including with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant. Approval of any subletting, assignment, or transfer shall only be by a specific writing setting forth such approval, and the acceptance of rent by Landlord from Tenant or any other person (including a proposed sublessee, assignee, or transferee, including one who may actually have taken possession without approval) shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting, or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting, or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or other transfer. If Tenant assigns or sublets the Premises, or any part of the Premises to any party other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the excess rent received by Tenant from subtenants and fifty percent (50%) of all consideration received by Tenant for any assignment, after first deducting any sums incurred by Tenant with respect to such transaction, including, without limitation, brokerage fees, consent fees, legal fees and expenses, tenant improvement costs, free rent and other inducements, and fees and costs paid to Landlord in connection with a request for consent.
13.4 In the event of any assignment or sublet, Tenant shall not be relieved of any of its responsibilities under the Lease.
13.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Lease, in the event Tenant assigns or sublets the Lease to an affiliate or Permitted Transferee, such party shall have the right to exercise the Option to Extend, in accordance with the provisions in Section 7.
14. Rules . Tenant shall before and during the Term observe and comply with the rules and regulations attached hereto and incorporated herein as EXHIBIT D and all reasonable modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time put into effect by Landlord of which Tenant has reasonable prior written notice and such rules and regulations as are put into effect by Landlord of which Tenant has reasonable prior written notice, provided that no such modifications or additions or rules and regulations put into effect by Landlord materially increase Tenant's obligations or materially decrease Tenant's rights hereunder. A material failure to comply with the rules and regulations, where such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord’s notice of violation, shall constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease. If there are any inconsistencies between any such rules and regulations and the other provisions of this Lease, the other provisions of this Lease shall control to the extent necessary to resolve the inconsistency. Landlord shall not be responsible for the nonperformance by any other tenant of the Building of any rules and regulations. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the compliance by another tenant of the Building with such rules and regulations if such other tenant's failure to comply materially interferes with Tenant's ability to operate its business in the Premises, but Landlord shall have no obligation to bring legal action against or terminate the lease of any other tenant of the Building for violating any rules and regulations.
15. Control of Appearance, Signs, and Advertising Media . Except as expressly agreed in this Lease regarding signage, without Landlord’s written consent and approval, Tenant shall not: install any decorations or signs outside of the Premises; erect or install any door lettering, signs, advertising media or placards outside of the Premises; or keep or display any merchandise on, or otherwise obstruct, the sidewalks, Common Areas; or areaways adjacent to the Premises. Landlord shall install and maintain Tenant’s name in the Building directory in the lobby of the Building. Tenant shall not use on the Premises any advertising or other media objectionable to Landlord such as loud speakers, phonographs, or radio broadcasts that can be heard outside the Premises. No unsightly or objectionable items in the sole opinion of Landlord will be permitted to be visible outside of the Premises.
16. Repairs and Maintenance
16.1 Landlord shall keep in good order, condition, and repair the Common Areas and the Building foundations, exterior walls and interior bearing walls (except for the interior faces) and other structural elements of the Building, and roof of the Building, and all plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire/life safety, heating, air conditioning and ventilation equipment and systems that service portions of the Building other than or in addition to the Premises, except (as to all items) for any damage caused by any willful or negligent act or omission of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, licenses, or contractors (excluding ordinary wear and tear). Landlord shall not be obligated to repair the exterior or interior of doors, windows (except for the exterior windows), plate glass, and/or showcases used on or in the Premises, and damage caused by any casualty or act of God, except as otherwise provided for herein.
16.2 Tenant shall keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair, except for reasonable use and wear and damage by fire or other casualty, the non-structural elements of the Premises and every part that exclusively serves the Premises, including without limitation, all interior building fixtures, walls, floors, ceilings, appliances and similar equipment and the exterior and interior portions of doors, windows (excluding the exterior windows), and plate glass, in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall have no obligation to repair or maintain the Building infrastructure or systems, including the roof, foundation, exterior shell, plumbing, curtain wall, elevators, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, or mechanical systems, it being understood that Landlord shall be responsible therefor.
16.3 Any and all repairs effected by Tenant shall be performed in a professional workmanlike manner, by licensed contractors, in compliance with all applicable statutes, codes, rules and regulations, and Tenant or Tenant’s contractors shall obtain all permits and approvals of government agencies required by applicable laws in connection therewith.
16.4 If Landlord reasonably deems any repairs required to be made by Tenant necessary, it may demand that Tenant make them by giving written notice to Tenant, and if Tenant refuses or neglects to commence such repairs within ten (10) business days after such notice, or fails to diligently prosecute such repairs thereafter, Landlord may make or cause such repairs to be made. If Landlord makes or causes repairs to be made, Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s business by reason of the repair work, and Tenant shall, on demand, immediately pay to Landlord the cost of the repairs. Tenant waives the provisions of Sections 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of the State of California and any and all other statutes or laws permitting repairs by a lessee at the expense of a lessor or to terminate a lease by reason of the condition of the Premises.
17. Property Protection . The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the doors into Building and Premises are equipped with standard door-locks that are operable and will secure each such door in a “locked” position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall, by virtue of Tenant’s use of the door lock on the front door to the Premises, be responsible for securing the Premises against unauthorized entry. As specified in the Special Lease Terms, Landlord will provide a security system for the Building. Tenant shall keep all doors and windows closed to maximize the efficiency of heating and air conditioning systems. Tenant shall not allow any offensive odors such as cigar, pipe, or cigarette odors to offend adjacent tenants and their employees and invitees.
18. Environmental Compliance
18.1 Tenant shall keep and maintain the Premises in compliance with and shall not cause or permit the Premises to be in violation of any federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to Hazardous Materials (as defined below), on the Premises, to the extent such Hazardous Materials were released in the Premises by Tenant or a Tenant employee, contractor, invitee, or licensee. Tenant shall not use, generate, manufacture, store, or dispose of on, under or about the Premises, or transport to or from the Premises or the Building any Hazardous Materials, other than the use and storage of materials which technically come within the definition of Hazardous Materials, but which are customarily used in the operation of the business described under “Permitted Uses” in the Special Lease Terms or in a business office, such as cleaning and office supplies, provided that such materials are in ordinary and reasonable amounts and used, stored or disposed of in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws (as defined below).
18.2 Tenant shall promptly advise Landlord in writing of (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, remedial, removal, or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed, or threatened pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials affecting the Premises (“Hazardous Materials Laws”); (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Tenant or the Premises relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss, or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereinafter referred to as “Hazardous Materials Claims”); and (iii) Tenant’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Premises that could cause the Premises to be classified as “border-zone” property, under the provisions of the California Health and Safety Code, 25220 et seq., or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or, to Tenant’s knowledge, to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability, or use of the Premises under any Hazardous Materials Laws.
18.3 Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on or under the Premises or the Building, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Materials Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent or compromise might, in Landlord’s judgment, impair the value of the Premises or the Building; provided, however, that Landlord’s prior consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Premises or the Building either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety, or welfare or any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary, or is required by an applicable governmental authority, and in each case it is not possible to obtain Landlord’s consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Tenant shall notify Landlord as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Landlord agrees not to withhold its consent, when such consent is required hereunder, if either (i) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority, or (ii) Tenant establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action that would result in materially less impairment of the value of the Premises or the Building.
18.4 Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Indemnified Parties (as defined below) harmless from and against any claim, loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, or cause of action directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, transportation or presence of any oil, gasoline, petroleum products, flammable explosives, asbestos, urea formaldehyde insulation, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic or contaminated substances or similar materials, including, without limitation, any substances which are “hazardous substances”, “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous materials”, or “toxic substances” under applicable environmental laws, ordinances or regulations (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) caused directly by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, assigns, in, on or under any of the Premises and the Building, including, without limitation, (i) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Premises and the Building and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans whether required under any Hazardous Materials Laws or otherwise; and (ii) all court costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by Landlord or any other Indemnified Party in connection with such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for any consequential damages.
The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to, and Tenant shall not be responsible for, the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Premises or Building prior to the Commencement Date (except to the extent caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees, affiliates, contractors, invitees, licensees, sublessees or other representatives prior to the Commencement Date) or to the extent caused by third parties (i.e. persons or entities other than Tenant or its agents, employees, affiliates, contractors, subcontractors, sublessees, licensees, invitees, and other representatives) or by Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors.
18.5 Each of the Landlord Indemnified Parties shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims as to which the Landlord Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnify under this Section 18, and to have its reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith paid by Tenant. Each of the Landlord Indemnified Parties shall have the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, to settle or compromise in good faith any such Hazardous Materials Claims against them. In case any such claim shall be made against any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties, Tenant agrees that such Landlord Indemnified Parties may employ independent counsel of the Landlord Indemnified Parties’ own selection to appear and defend the Landlord Indemnified Parties. All of the reasonable documented costs and expenses of such defense shall be paid by Tenant.
18.6 Landlord shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Tenant Indemnified Parties (as defined below) harmless from and against any claim, loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, or cause of action directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, transportation or presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on or under any of the Premises and the Building caused directly by Landlord, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, assigns, prior to the date that Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant as contemplated herein, including, but not limited to, (i) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Premises and the Building and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans whether required under any Hazardous Materials Laws or otherwise; and (ii) all court costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by Tenant or any other Tenant Indemnified Party in connection with such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not be responsible for any consequential damages.
19. Landlord’s Access to Premises
19.1 Landlord and its designees, with reasonable written notice (of not less than 48 hours), shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours, and in emergencies at all times, to inspect the Premises, to make repairs, additions, or alterations to the Premises or the Building required or permitted to be performed under this Lease, provided Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises during Tenant’s normal business hours within the Premises. At Tenant’s option, all such entry shall be subject to the requirement that Landlord be accompanied by a Tenant representative.
19.2 For a period commencing one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of the Lease Term, Landlord and its designees, with reasonable written notice (of not less than 24 hours), shall have reasonable access to the Premises, upon prior notice for the purpose of exhibiting “For Lease” signage and showing the Premises to prospective lessees. Landlord’s “For Lease” signs shall be of a size customary for the purpose and shall be located so as not to obstruct Tenant’s signs.
20. Indemnity
20.1 Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s trustees, general partners and limited partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees, and agents of Landlord’s trustees, general partners, limited partners and shareholders (individually a “Landlord Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Landlord Indemnified Parties”) against and from any and all claims arising from: (A) Tenant’s use of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business; (B) any activity, work, or other thing done or permitted by Tenant on the Premises, except as may be caused by or be the result of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or as expressly otherwise set forth in this Lease; (C) any act or omission (including, but not limited to negligent acts or omissions) of Tenant, or of any officer, agent, employee, guest, or invitee of Tenant; and (D) any and all Defaults committed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. Except as expressly otherwise set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall also defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against and from any and all claims brought by Tenant’s employees, contractors, agents, or business invitees (including customers) arising from any act (including but not limited to negligent and intentional torts and criminal acts) committed by any third party (other than an Indemnified Party or any agent or other person acting on behalf of any Indemnified Party) in the Premises. The indemnity provided by this Section 20.1 shall include indemnification, from and against all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses, and liabilities incurred in connection with or arising from any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in any suit, action, or proceeding brought against any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Indemnified Parties. Tenant as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon, or about the Premises, from any cause other than Landlord’s breach of this Lease or the negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Indemnified Party (but only to the extent attributable to Landlord’s breach of this Lease or the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Party), and Tenant hereby waives all such claims against the Landlord Indemnified Parties.
20.2 Landlord shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tenant, Tenant’s members, trustees, general partners and limited partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and the members, trustees, general partners and limited partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents of Tenant’s trustees, general partners, limited partners and shareholders (“Tenant Indemnified Parties”) against and from any and all claims made by third parties arising from the act or omission of Landlord, or Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors, trustees, general partners and limited partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and the contractors, subcontractors, trustees, general partners and limited partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents of Landlord’s trustees, general partners, limited partners and shareholders, including any default by Landlord under this Lease, provided that in no event shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages or lost profits. The indemnity provided by this Section 20.2 shall include indemnification, from and against all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses, and liabilities incurred in connection with or arising from any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in any suit, action, or proceeding brought against any of the Tenant Indemnified Parties by reason of any such claim, Landlord, upon notice from the relevant Tenant Indemnified Parties, shall defend the same at Landlord’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
20.3 Landlord, Landlord’s agents and the other Landlord Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any injury to or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, or rain that may leak from any part of the Premises or from the pipes, appliances, or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street, or subsurface, or from any other place resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, servants, or employees and only to the extent actually caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, servants, or employees. Landlord, Landlord’s agents and the other Landlord Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for interference with the light or other incorporeal hereditament, loss of business by Tenant, or any latent defect in the Premises, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, servants, or employees. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.
21. Abandonment . Tenant shall not abandon the Premises at any time during the Lease Term. If Tenant abandons the Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly remove from the Premises all of Tenant’s personal property, unless Tenant is paying and is current on all rental obligations. “Abandonment” shall mean Tenant vacating the Premises for a period of more than sixty (60) days while also in violation of any provision specified in Section 24.1 hereof.
22. Conveyance by Landlord . If during the Lease Term, Landlord sells or otherwise transfers its interest in the Building and/or Premises, from and after the effective date of the sale, Landlord shall be released and discharged from any and all obligations and responsibilities under this Lease accruing or arising after the date of such transfer. Upon any conveyance of title to the Building and/or Premises, the grantee or transferee shall be deemed to have assumed Landlord’s obligations to be performed under this Lease from and after the date of such conveyance. Landlord shall transfer the then uncredited portion of the Prepaid Rent and the LOC to the grantee or transferee of Landlord’s interest in the Building and/or Premises, and upon such transfer and written assumption by the grantee or transferee, Landlord shall be released from any further responsibility or liability for the Prepaid Rent and the LOC and Tenant shall attorn to any such grantee or transferee as the new Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of such transfer.
23. Condemnation
23.1 If title to all of the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu of eminent domain, or if title to a portion of the Premises is taken, and a reasonable amount of reconstruction of the Premises will not result in the Premises being reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued occupancy for the use for which the Premises are leased, in either such event, upon written notice given within thirty (30) days after the date that possession of the Premises or a part thereof is taken, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease. If any part of the Premises shall be so taken and the remaining part of the Premises (after reconstruction of the then existing Building in which the Premises are located) is reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued occupancy for the use for which the Premises are leased, this Lease, as to the part so taken, shall terminate as of the date that possession of such part is taken, and the rent shall be reduced by an amount that bears the same ratio to the rent provided in this Lease prior to such taking as the value of the portion of the Premises taken bears to the total value of the Premises immediately before the date of taking. If the Premises would not be reasonably suitable for Tenant’s use after the condemnation but can be reconstructed to be reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued use, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may at its own cost and expense make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Building in which the Premises, in which case this Lease shall continue, and otherwise this Lease shall terminate. There shall be no abatement of rent during such restoration except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 23.
23.2 Tenant shall not be entitled to share in any portion of the award, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any right or claim to any part thereof. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the Premises shall belong to Landlord, whether such compensation be awarded or paid as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee. Tenant shall, however, have the right to claim and recover, only from the condemning authority and not from Landlord, any amount necessary to reimburse Tenant for the cost of removing stock and fixtures, cost of relocation, and Tenant’s goodwill; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Tenant from prosecuting a separate claim against the condemning authority for an amount separately designated for the interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business or as compensation for Tenant’s personal property or other improvements paid for by Tenant.
24. Default; Remedies
24.1 Tenant Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant (each, a “Default”):
24.1.1 any failure by Tenant to pay rent or any other monetary sums within 5 days of the date required to be paid;
24.1.2 the vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;
24.1.3 a failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant (including Tenant’s material compliance with the rules and regulations of the Building as applied by Landlord in a non-discriminatory manner to all tenants within the Building), where such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant, unless such failure reasonably requires more than fifteen (15) days to cure, then Tenant shall only be required to show documented proof that Tenant has undertaken commercially reasonable efforts to remedy within the fifteen (15) day period, but in any event shall cure such failures within sixty (60) days;
24.1.4 the making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors;
24.1.5 the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days;
24.1.6 the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or
24.1.7 the attachment execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in the Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
24.2 Remedies. In the event of a Default by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have by reason of such Default:
24.2.1 Maintain Lease. Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover the rent and other monetary charges as they become due pursuant to California Civil Code section 1951.4 or any similar, successor or related provision of Law, without terminating Tenant’s right to possession irrespective of whether Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to attempt to re-let the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions and for such a term, and to do all acts necessary to maintain or preserve the Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have elected to terminate the Lease, including removal of all property from the Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. In the event any such re-letting occurs, this Lease shall terminate automatically upon the new Tenant taking possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding that Landlord fails to elect to terminate the Lease initially, Landlord at any time during the Lease Term may elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of such previous default of Tenant
24.2.2 Terminate Lease. Terminate Tenant’s right to possession by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s Default, including, without limitation thereto, the following: (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 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 is proved 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 is proved could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom; plus (e) at Landlord’s election, such other reasonable amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable Law. Upon any such re-entry, Landlord shall have the right to make any reasonable repairs, alterations, or modification to the Premises which Landlord in its sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary. As used in (a) and (b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date of Default. As used in (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 1%. The term “rent,” as used in this sub-section 24.2.2, shall be deemed to be and to mean the Monthly Rent to be paid pursuant to this Lease and all other monetary sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. All such amounts, other than Monthly Rent, as may become due in the future shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount thereof accruing during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period prior to Default, except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rent before such twelve (12) month period has occurred, then on the basis of the average monthly amount accruing during such shorter period.
24.2.3 Landlord Cure of Tenant Default. Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a Default, and fails to cure within the appropriate notice and cure periods set forth herein, can cure such Default at Tenant’s cost. If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s Default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due within fifteen (15) days of written request therefor from Landlord and shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together with interest on it, shall be additional rent.
24.2.4 Default Interest. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, plus a late charge as provided in this Lease.
24.2.5 Late Charge. Tenant acknowledges that late payment of rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Therefore, if any installment of rent is not received by Landlord no later than five (5) days after the date when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue rent as a late charge, which shall begin accruing the day after the date when due. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s Default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord.
24.3 Landlord Defaults. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice of the breach and, within thirty (30) days after notice (or such shorter time as is reasonable in the event of an emergency), Landlord has not cured the breach or, if the breach is such that it cannot reasonably be cured under the circumstances within thirty (30) days, has not commenced diligently to prosecute the cure to completion (a “Landlord Default”). Any money judgment obtained by Tenant based upon Landlord’s breach of this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the unencumbered rents or other income from the Building receivable by Landlord and the proceeds of the sale or disposition of Landlord’s interest in the Building (whether by Landlord or by execution of judgment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if Landlord fails to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance required of Landlord hereunder and within Landlord’s reasonable control, and such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time (except in cases of emergency, not less than thirty (30) days) after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord and unless Landlord has commenced such repairs or maintenance during such period and is diligently pursuing the same, Tenant may (but shall not be required to) following a second notice (which notice shall have a heading in at least 12-point type, bold and all caps “FAILURE TO RESPOND SHALL RESULT IN TENANT EXERCISING SELF-HELP RIGHTS”) and Landlord’s failure to commence repairs within five (5) days after receipt of such second notice, perform such repairs or maintenance in accordance with the provisions of this Lease governing Tenant’s repairs and Alterations (except without any requirement for Landlord’s consent or approval) and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses therefor within thirty (30) days after presentation of appropriate invoices and back-up documentation. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant within such 30-day period, Tenant shall be permitted to off-set such amount against Rent next due under the Lease until Tenant is fully compensated therefor. If as a result of a Landlord Default, Tenant’s ability to use the Premises is materially impaired, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent for the period commencing on the second (2nd) business day following the date on which the Premises are unusable through the date on which the Premises are again usable. In the event of a Landlord Default, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord. An “Event of Material Interference” shall occur if any work, condition or disruption at the Building is caused by Landlord (or is consented to by Landlord) and such work, condition or disruption materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises for a substantial portion of any business day. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing upon the occurrence of an Event of Material Interference with such notice specifying the work, condition or disruption causing the event and the scope, time and date of such event.
25. Subordination and Estoppel Certificates

Tenant shall from time to time on request from Landlord execute, acknowledge, and deliver any documents or instruments that may be required by a lender, or otherwise convenient, to effectuate or acknowledge any subordination. In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage, deed of trust, or other encumbrance covering the Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser as landlord, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement as provided in Attachment C, attached hereto.

25.2 Landlord’s interest in this Lease, the Premises, and the Building shall not be subordinant to any encumbrances resulting from any act of Tenant, and nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require such subordination by Landlord, except as provided in the Special Lease Terms. Tenant is not authorized to place or allow to be placed any lien, mortgage, deed of trust, or encumbrance of any kind upon all or any part of the Premises and/or the Building or Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises, and any such purported transaction shall be void, except as provided in the Special Lease Terms.

26.1 If Tenant should remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term and without exercising any option rights in the manner described below or without executing a new lease, such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from month to month subject to all the conditions provision and obligations of this Lease that is consistent with a month-to-month tenancy. If such holding over is with the written approval of Landlord, the monthly rental shall be at the rate agreed upon by the parties at that time. If such holding over is without Landlord’s approval, the monthly rent shall be 150% of the Monthly Rent in effect for the last month of the Lease Term prior to the beginning of such holding over.
26.2 On the last day or sooner termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises, broom-clean, in good condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted and damage due to casualty for which Landlord is responsible excepted) together with all alterations, additions, and improvements that have been made in, to, or on the Premises, except movable furniture or trade fixtures and portable improvements put in at Tenant’s expense. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property from the Premises at the end of the term, all property not removed shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant.

Aside from CBRE, Inc., neither party has had any contact or dealing regarding this Lease, or any communication in connection with this Lease, with any person who can claim a commission or finder’s fee as a procuring cause of obtaining this Lease. If any broker or finder other than CBRE, Inc., perfects a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based on any contract, dealing or communication with Tenant, Tenant agrees to hold Landlord harmless from any cost, expense, or liability for any compensation, commission, or charges claimed by any realtor, broker, or other party acting or purporting to act on behalf of Tenant with respect to this Lease or the negotiations of this Lease. If any other broker or finder perfects a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based on any contract, dealing or communication with Landlord, Landlord agrees to hold Tenant harmless from any cost, expense, or liability for any compensation, commission, or charges claimed by any realtor, broker, or other party acting or purporting to act on behalf of Landlord with respect to this Lease or the negotiations of this Lease.

The acceptance by Landlord of any rent shall not be deemed a waiver of or acquiescence to any breach other than the payment of that rent amount itself, notwithstanding that the acceptance of the rent occurs at a time after the breach and that Landlord is aware of the breach at the time of the rent acceptance.

No pet shall be allowed in the Building that the Landlord determines to be a threat to the safety, welfare, quiet comfort or enjoyment of other Tenants and invitees.

Pet owners agree to comply with the following requirements for pets brought into the Building:
a.The California State Health and Safety Code.
b.All applicable Laws such as but not limited to licensing, vaccinations, leashing, sanitation, etc.

e.Any pet found off-leash in the Common Areas or the roof deck may be removed to a pound or animal shelter by calling the appropriate authorities.
f.No pets are allowed in the common shower rooms at any time.

h.In no event shall any pit bull, rottweiler, doberman pinscher, mastiff, canaria press, or any other dog breed known as a "fighting breed" or mix thereof be allowed in the Building.
i.The Common Areas (including, but not limited to, hallways, stairwells, elevators, patios, decks, balconies, courtyards, the northern portion of the roof deck, roof, sidewalks, and landscaping beds) and the southern portion of the roof deck shall not be used for relieving of pets’ bodily functions. Any accidental defecation must immediately be removed and disposed of by the pet’s owner and the area cleaned and sanitized. The cost of cleaning and deodorizing Common Areas due to pet “accidents” is the pet owner’s obligation.
j.Within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written request therefor, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable satisfactory evidence showing that all current vaccinations have been received by each of the pets within the Premises.
k.No pets shall be brought into the Building if any such pet is ill or contracts a disease that could potentially threaten the health or wellbeing of any tenant or occupant of the Building. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Amendment, Landlord shall have the unilateral right at any time to rescind Tenant's right to have pets in the Building, if in Landlord's reasonable judgment, any such pets are found to be a substantial nuisance (for purposes hereof, a pet may found to be a “substantial nuisance” if such pet defecates in the Common Areas, damages or destroys property at the Building or exhibits threatening behavior).
l.Damages to the Common Areas by pets shall be billed to the Tenant at the current replacement and/or repair cost, plus reasonable documented administrative expenses, not to exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The expense limit does not apply to liability for injury to persons caused by pets.
m.Pet owners are responsible for controlling the noise of their pets. Pet owners are responsible for any personal injury or property damage caused by their pets.
n.Pets shall not be left unattended in the Premises at any time, or in any of the Common Areas of the Building.

p.In accordance with applicable Laws, service animals that assist persons with disabilities are considered to be auxiliary aids and are exempt from the pet rules (d) through (h) noted herein. Examples include guide dogs for persons with vision impairments, hearing dogs for persons with hearing impairments, and emotional assistance animals for persons with chronic mental illness.
a.The feeding of stray animals and wild birds at the Building is strictly prohibited as they pose a health hazard and are a nuisance to the other tenants in the Building.
30. Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the benefit of any particular tenant or tenants, but no such waiver by Landlord shall be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of any other tenant or tenants, nor prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules and Regulations against any or all tenants of the Building.
31. These Rules and Regulations may be changed from time to time in a reasonable and non-discriminatory manner, as Landlord may deem reasonably appropriate, and are in addition to, and shall not be construed to in any way modify, alter or amend, in whole or in part, the terns, covenants and conditions of the Lease.

Form of Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE
AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of the ___ day of ____________, 20__, by and among ______________________________, having its offices at ______________(“Lender”), ____________________, having an office at ______________________ (“Tenant”) and ________________-, having an office at ____________________ (“Landlord”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to make a loan (the “Loan”) to Landlord:
WHEREAS, the Loan will be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) made by Landlord to order of Lender and will be secured by, among other things, a deed of trust and security agreement (the “Deed of Trust”) of even date herewith made by Landlord to Lender covering the land (the “Land”) described on Schedule A hereto and all improvements (the “Improvements”) now or hereafter located on the land (the Land and the Improvements hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Trust Property”); and
WHEREAS, by a lease dated as of [______________] (which lease, as the same may have been amended and supplemented, is hereinafter called the “Lease”), Landlord leased to Tenant approximately [__________] square feet of space located in the Improvements (the “Premises”); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to make the Lease subject and subordinate to the Deed of Trust.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows:
1.Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease.
2.The Lease, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or extended, and all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant under the Lease, are and shall be unconditionally subject and subordinate to the Deed of Trust and the lien thereof, to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Deed of Trust, to each and every advance made or hereafter made under the Deed of Trust, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions and extensions of the Deed of Trust, so that at all times the Deed of Trust shall be and remain a lien on the Trust property prior and superior to the Lease for all purposes; provided, however, and Lender agrees, that so long as no default of Tenant has occurred under the Lease that remains uncured beyond applicable notice and cure periods; then, and in such event Tenant’s leasehold estate under the Lease shall not be terminated, Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender and Lender will recognize this Lease and accept the attornment of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not in any event have any liability for any default by Landlord under the Lease occurring prior to the date on which Lender shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under the Lease (including without limitation any liability under any warranty of construction).
3.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant hereby agrees that in the event of any act, omission or default by Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to terminate the Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, or to reduce the rent payable thereunder or credit or offset any amounts against future rents payable thereunder (excluding Tenant’s remedies under Sections 7, 9.3, and 9.4 of the Lease), Tenant will not exercise any such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act, omission or default to Lender by delivering notice of such act, omission or default, by certified or registered mail, addressed to Lender at Lender’s address as given hereby or at the last address of Lender furnished to Tenant in writing, and (ii) until a period of not less than sixty (60) days for remedying such act, omission or default shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any default of Landlord which cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period, if Lender shall within such period comment in writing and proceed promptly to cure the same (including such time as may be necessary to acquire possession of the Premises if possession is necessary to effect such cure) and thereafter shall prosecute the curing of such default with diligence, then the time within which such default may be cured by Lender shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing of the same with diligence. Tenant shall also give a copy of any such notice hereunder to any successor to lender’s interest under the Deed of Trust, provided that lender or such successor notifies Tenant of the name and address of the party Tenant is to notify. Lender’s cure of Landlord’s default shall not be considered an assumption by Lender of Landlord’s other obligations under the Lease. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, Landlord shall remain solely liable to perform Landlord’s obligations under the Lease (but only to the extent required by and subject to the limitation included with the Lease), both before and after Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing exemption of Lender shall not apply after Lender has required Tenant to attorn to Lender. If Lender or any successor or assign become obligated to perform as Landlord under the Lease, such person or entity will be released from those obligations when such person or entity assigns, sells or otherwise transfers its interest in the premises or the Trust Property.
4.Without limitation of any of the provisions of the Lease, in the event that, by reason of any default under the Deed of Trust on the part of Landlord, Lender or its successors or assigns shall succeed to the interest of Landlord or any successor to Landlord, then subject to the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Paragraph 1, above, the Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to and accept Lender or its successors or assigns and to recognize Lender or its successors or assigns as its Landlord under the Lease for the then remaining balance of the term thereof, and upon request of Lender or its successors or assigns, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Lender or its successors or assigns an agreement of attornment satisfactory to Lender or such successor or assign.
5.If Lender or its successors or assigns shall succeed to the interest of Landlord or any successor to Landlord, Lender or its successors or assigns shall recognize Tenant and its rights under this Lease and shall assume the obligations of Landlord thereunder, provided that, in no event shall Lender or its successor or assigns have any liability for any act or omission of any prior landlord under the Lease which occurs prior to the date Lender or such successor or assign shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease, nor any liability for claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have had against Landlord and in any event Lender and its successors or assigns shall have no personal liability as successor to Landlord and Tenant shall look only to the estate and property of Lender or its successors or assigns in the Land and the Improvements for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by Lender or its successors or assigns as Landlord under the Lease, and no other property or assets of Lender or its successors or assigns shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to the Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant thereunder or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.
6.Tenant agrees that no prepayment of rent or additional rent due under the Lease of more than one month in advance (other than the Prepaid Rent, as defined in the Special Lease Terms of the Lease), and no amendment, modification, surrender or cancellation of the Lease, shall be binding upon or as against Lender, as holder of the Deed of Trust, and as Landlord under the Lease if it succeeds to that position, unless consented to in writing by Lender. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Tenant agrees that, except for the completion of Landlord’s Work (as described in Exhibit B to the Lease), the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in Section 9.3 of the Lease, and the Test-Fit Allowance set forth in Section 9.4 of the Lease, Lender, as holder of the Deed of Trust, and as landlord under the Lease if it succeeds to that position, shall in no event have any liability for the performance or completion of any initial work or installations or for any loan or contribution or rent concession towards initial work, which are required to be made by Landlord (A) under the Lease or under any related Lease documents or (B) for any space which may hereafter become part of said Premises, and any such requirement shall be inoperative in the event Lender succeeds to the position of Landlord prior to the completion or performance thereof. Tenant further agrees with Lender that Tenant will not voluntarily subordinate the Lease to any lien or encumbrance without Lender’s prior written consent.
7.Tenant shall cause Lender to be named as an additional insured in policies of insurance required to be carried by Tenant under Section 10 of the Lease.
8.Landlord represents and warrants that the Lease was duly executed by Landlord and all consents, resolutions or other approvals required for Landlord to execute the Lease were obtained. Tenant represents and warrants that the Lease was duly executed by Tenant and all consents, resolutions or other approvals required for Tenant to execute the Lease were obtained.
9.Tenant further represents and warrants to Lender that as of the date hereof (i) Tenant is the owner and holder of Tenant’s interest under the Lease, (ii) the Lease has not been modified or amended, (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect, (iv) the Premises have been completed, (v) to Tenant’s knowledge, neither Tenant nor Landlord is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of the Lease and Tenant to its actual knowledge knows of no event which but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default by Tenant or Landlord under the Lease, (vi) neither Tenant nor Landlord has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the Lease, (vii) all rents, additional rents and other sums due and payable under the Lease have been paid in full and no rents, additional rents or other sums payable under the Lease have been paid for more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates thereof; provided, however, that Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has paid the first month of monthly rent in advance, and (viii) to Tenant’s actual knowledge there are no offsets or defenses to the payment of the rents, additional rents, or other sums payable under the Lease.
10.Tenant and Landlord shall provide a document similar to this to any Lender making a loan secured by property including the Premises the proceeds of which loan are used to repay the loan secured by the Deed of Trust in whole or part as may be agreed to by such lender and subject to such reasonable modifications as may be requested by such lender.
11.In the event of foreclosure of the Deed of Trust (by judicial process, power of sale or otherwise) or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, which foreclosure, power of sale, or conveyance occurs prior to the expiration date of the Lease, including any extensions and renewals of the Lease now provided thereunder, and so long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period, Lender agrees on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, and on behalf of any purchaser at such foreclosure ("Purchaser") that Tenant shall not be disturbed in the quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Lender has a claim superior to Tenant's claim for insurance proceeds, if any, received with respect to the Improvements, the Land, or the Trust Property.
12.This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute and be construed as one and the same instrument.
13.All remedies which Lender may have against Landlord provided herein, if any, are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law and by other agreements between Lender and Landlord or others. If any party consists of multiple individuals or entities, each of same shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of such party hereunder.
14.The reasonable cost of attorneys’ fees and disbursements for any legal action or arbitration between or among the parties arising out of any dispute or litigation relating to enforcement of this Agreement shall be borne by the party(s) against whom a final decision is rendered.
15.All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed served upon receipt by the addressee if served personally or, if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the refusal of delivery as shown on a return receipt, after deposit in the United States Postal Service certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Landlord, Tenant or Lender appearing below, or, if sent by telegram, when delivered by or refused upon attempted delivery by the telegraph office.

19. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has assigned to Lender its right, title and interest in the Lease and to the rents, issues and profits of the Trust Property and the Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust, and that Landlord has been granted the license to collect such rents provided no Event of Default has occurred under, and as defined in, the Deed of Trust.
