The two appraisers shall have thirty (30) days from the day of their respective appointments (the “Determination Period”) to make their respective determinations and agree on the fair market value. If the two appraisers selected by the Landlord and Tenant cannot reach agreement on the fair market value, such appraisers shall within five (5) business days jointly appoint an impartial third appraiser with qualifications similar to those of the first two appraisers, and the fair market value shall be established by the three appraisers in accordance with the following procedures: The appraiser selected by each party shall state in writing his determination of the fair market value, which determination will provide for periodic adjustments to the Base Rent if such appraiser believes that such adjustments are appropriate. The first two appraisers shall arrange for the simultaneous delivery of their determinations to the third appraiser no later than ten (10) business days after the expiration of the Determination Period. The role of the third appraiser shall be to select which of the two proposed determinations most closely approximates the third appraiser’s determination of the fair market value, and shall have no more than ten (10) business days in which to select the final determination. The determination chosen by the third appraiser shall constitute the decision of the appraisers and be final and binding on

If Landlord in good faith determines that such substances create a risk to the health and safety of the Tenant’s employees and invitees or to any other tenant or invitee of the Building, Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, take such remedial action, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant (including, without limitation, elimination or removal of any Hazardous Materials from the Premises), as Landlord deems necessary or advisable or as required by any applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, between Tenant and Landlord, Landlord is solely liable for any Hazardous Materials discovered by Tenant on the Premises upon Delivery Date or during the time that Tenant is working on its Tenant Improvements (or a reasonable time thereafter in order to discover) or the Building at any time during the Term of the Lease. If any such Hazardous Materials are found, Landlord must immediately take remedial action, at

 

7


  its sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, elimination or removal of any Hazardous Materials from the Premises), as necessary or advisable or as required by any applicable law.

 

  7. ESCALATION.

(a) The additional monthly rent payable pursuant to Paragraphs 5(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof shall be calculated and paid in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) On or before the first day of each calendar year during the Term subsequent to the Base Expense Year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the amounts payable by Tenant under Paragraphs 5(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during such ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth of such estimated amounts. If such notice is not given for any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given, and subsequent payments by Tenant shall be based on Landlord’s current estimate. If at any time it reasonably appears, based on actual costs and charges, to Landlord that the amounts payable under Paragraphs 5(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate, Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant, revise Landlord’s estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based on such revised estimate.

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, Landlord shall give Tenant a written statement of the amounts payable under Paragraphs 5(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof for such calendar year certified by Landlord. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall refund the excess to Tenant within twenty (20) days of the date of such statement. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement. Failure by Landlord to give any notice or statement to Tenant under this Paragraph 7 shall not waive Landlord’s right to receive, or Tenant’s obligation to pay, the amounts payable by Tenant under Paragraphs 5(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof.

(iii) If the Term ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amounts payable by Tenant under Paragraphs 5(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof applicable to the calendar

 

8


year in which such Term ends shall be prorated according to the ratio which the number of days in such calendar year to and including the end of the Term bears to three hundred sixty (360). Termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) hereof to be performed after such termination.

(iv) Tenant or Tenant’s authorized agent or representative, shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to inspect the books of Landlord directly relating to Operating Expenses and Property Taxes, after giving reasonable prior written notice to Landlord, within ninety (90) days of Landlord’s statement, and during the business hours of Landlord at Landlord’s office in the Building or at such other location as Landlord may designate, for the purpose of verifying the information in such statement; provided, however, that such inspection or examination is performed by a certified public accountant. Landlord’s statement shall be deemed final and binding on Tenant, absent such a request by Tenant. If Tenant shall have availed itself of its right to inspect the books and records, and whether or not Tenant disputes the accuracy of the information set forth in such books and records, Tenant shall nevertheless pay the amount set forth in Landlord’s statement and continue to pay the amounts required by the provisions of Paragraph 7(a)(ii), pending resolution of said dispute. Any default in the payment of such charges by Tenant shall be deemed an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) under this Lease. Landlord’s retention policy for books and records relating to Operating Expenses shall provide for the retention of relevant books and records for such periods that are not less than the period maintained by Landlord for the retention of books and records for income tax audit purposes. If overcharged by more than 4%, LL shall re-imburse Tenant for Tenant’s costs of audit.

 

  8. RULES AND REGULATIONS.

Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations attached to this Lease as Exhibit C and made a part hereof, and such other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time adopt for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Building, the facilities thereof, or the preservation of good order therein (collectively, the “Building Rules”). Landlord reserves the right from time to time in its sole reasonable discretion to make reasonable additions and modifications to the Building Rules. Unless immediate compliance is required by law or regulation, any additions and modifications to the Building Rules shall be binding on Tenant within two (2) weeks of the date that the new Building Rules are received by Tenant. If Tenant objects to any of the new Building Rules, Landlord agrees to work in good faith to resolve any conflict. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of any such Building Rules, or for the breach of any covenant or condition in any lease, by any other tenant in the Building. In the event of any conflict between this Lease and the Rules and Regulations, the terms of this Lease shall govern. A waiver by Landlord of any rule or

 

9


regulation for any other tenant shall not constitute nor be deemed a waiver of the rule or regulation for this Tenant.

 

  9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

 

  (a) Tenant will not assign, mortgage or hypothecate this Lease, or any interest therein, or permit the use of the Premises by any person or persons other than the Tenant, or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Consent to any such assignment or sublease shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for a consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease, and the terms of such consent shall be binding upon any person holding by, under or through Tenant.

 

  (b) If Tenant desires to assign its interest in this Lease or to sublease all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least fifteen (15) business days in advance of the proposed transaction. This notice shall be accompanied by: (i) a statement setting forth the name and business of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) a copy of the proposed form of assignment or sublease (and any collateral agreements) setting forth all of the material terms and the financial details of the sublease or assignment (including, without limitation, the term, the rent and any security deposit, “key money,” and amounts payable for Tenant’s Property and the common use of any personnel or equipment); (iii) financial statements and other information requested by Landlord relating to the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (iv) any other information concerning the proposed assignment or sublease which Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have no right to recapture the Premises during the Term of this Lease.

 

  (c) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to an assignment or subletting. (For purposes of this Paragraph 9, an assignment shall not include an assignment for security purposes, which shall only be permitted with the prior consent of Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion). Tenant agrees that the withholding of Landlord’s consent shall be deemed reasonable if all of the following conditions are not satisfied:

(i) The proposed assignee or subtenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use, and the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant is consistent with the other uses and the standards of the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(ii) The proposed occupancy by the assignee or subtenant will not unreasonably increase any Operating Expenses for the Building, or increase the burden on any Building services, and will not generate an unreasonable amount of additional foot traffic based on the amount of RSF such subtenant

 

10


will occupy, elevator usage or security concerns in the Building, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(iii) The proposed assignee or subtenant is reputable and has a reasonable net worth given office market conditions at the time of such sublease and otherwise has sufficient financial capabilities to perform all of its obligations under this Lease or the proposed sublease, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.

(iv) Neither the proposed assignee or subtenant nor any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed assignee or subtenant is a party (including, without limitation, an existing occupant of any part of the Building) to whom Landlord has, during the six (6) month period prior to the delivery of Tenant’s written notice, marketed space in the Building that would generally fit such party’s leasing requirements.

(v) Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice or cure periods under this Lease.

(vi) All of the other terms of this Paragraph 9 are complied with.

 

  (d) Each permitted assignee, transferee or subtenant, other than Landlord, shall assume and be deemed to have assumed this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of the rent and for the due performance or satisfaction of all of the provision, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or satisfied. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release or alter Tenant’s obligation or primary liability to pay the rent and perform all other obligations under this Lease. No permitted assignment or sublease shall be binding on Landlord unless such assignee, subtenant or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of such assignment or sublease which contains a covenant of assumption by the assignee or subtenant, but the failure or refusal of the assignee or subtenant to execute such instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the assignee or subtenant from its liability as set forth above.

 

  (e)

For purposes of assignment as described herein; (i) venture capital and other equity investments in Tenant shall not constitute an assignment, regardless of the size of the investment and (ii) Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises to a “Tenant Affiliate”. A “Tenant Affiliate” shall mean any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant, and for purposes of clarity, shall include any company that acquires some or all of the assets or equity of Tenant. If some or all assets of Tenant are acquired by a Tenant Affiliate, it shall be mandated under the terms of this Lease that this lease shall be

 

11


  assumed by the Tenant Affiliate in full. Tenant will notify Landlord within a reasonable period of time prior to a change of control and Tenant shall use good faith efforts to give Landlord at least fifteen (15) business days notice prior to such change of control.

 

  (f) Any notice by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 9 of a proposed assignment or sublease shall be accompanied by a payment of $750 as a non-refundable fee for the processing of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent. In addition to said fee, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for reasonable attorneys’ fees not to exceed $2,500 incurred by Landlord in connection with such review and the preparation of documents in connection therewith. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly on or before the first (1st) of each month one-half (1/2) of the rent or other consideration received from such assignee(s) or subtenant(s) and attributable to Tenant’s interest under this Lease, over and above the concurrent underlying rent payable by Tenant to Landlord for that portion of the Premises being assigned or sublet, together with the full amount of any consideration payable to Tenant for the use of any personal property and/or leasehold improvements located in the Premises, over and above the book value (after depreciation) of such property and improvements, in all cases after deduction for the amortized portion of the reasonable expenses actually paid by Tenant to unrelated third parties for brokerage commissions, legal fees, tenant improvements to the Premises, or design fees incurred as a direct consequence of the assignment or sublease, amortized in equal installments over the remaining term of this Lease or the term of the applicable sublease, as the case may be. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a true signed copy of such assignment(s) or sublease(s) and any supplementary agreements or amendments thereto, within five (5) days after their respective execution. No response by Landlord after 15 days shall be deemed as definitive consent by Landlord.

 

  10. SALE.

In the event that Landlord sells or conveys the Building containing the Premises, it will use best faith efforts to ensure that the successor-in-interest is bound to assume the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. After such assumption is made in writing, Landlord shall be released thereby from any liability arising after the date of such transfer upon any of said terms, covenants and conditions, and such successor-in-interest of Landlord shall be bound accordingly, provided that Landlord fully complies with California Civil Code Section 1950.7 as specified in paragraph 27(c).

 

  11. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

 

  (a)

Landlord shall maintain and repair the public and common areas of the Building, such as plazas, lobbies, stairs, corridors and restrooms, the roof and exterior elements of the Building, and the elevator, mechanical and electrical systems of the Building, maintain all windows in the Premises in

 

12


  an operable fashion thus enabling them to be opened and closed and keep such areas, elements, common area doors and building systems in good order and condition, consistent with the standards of other comparable Class B buildings in the San Francisco South Financial District. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time service, repair, upgrade or install elevators in the Building that may result in delays or interruptions in service. Although Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to keep some elevators operational while servicing or upgrading other elevators, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for such delays or interruptions in elevator service. Any damage in or to any such areas, elements or systems caused by Tenant or any agent, officer, employee, contractor, licensee or invitee of Tenant shall be repaired by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing by Landlord, as additional rent, the cost of such repairs incurred by Landlord. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any other applicable existing or future law of similar effect. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time upgrade, restore and/or remodel parts of the common areas, building foyer, staircases, elevator cabs, etc. to the Building that may result in delays. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for such delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any maintenance, service or repair of the public and common areas and/or elevators of the Building (i) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the interference with Tenant’s use and access to the Premises during normal business hours, and (ii) Landlord shall diligently pursue such maintenance, service or repairs to completion.

 

  (b)

To the extent that Landlord has provided the Premises and every part thereof and all equipment (including, without limitation, any kitchen equipment), and any fixtures and improvements therein in and good order and operating condition, Tenant shall endeavor to, at all times during the Term of this Lease and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain and repair the Premises and every part thereof and all equipment (including, without limitation, any kitchen equipment), and any fixtures and improvements therein, and keep all of the foregoing clean and in equally good order and operating condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage thereto by fire or other casualty excepted. Tenant is not responsible for repairs made on equipment and fixtures that were not provided in good working order. With the exception of repairs and replacements of faulty equipment and fixtures, all repairs and replacements made by or on behalf of Tenant shall be made and performed at Tenant’s cost and expense and at such time and in such manner as Landlord may reasonably designate, by contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord and so that the same shall be at least equal in quality, value, character and utility to the original work or installation being repaired or replaced. Tenant hereby waives all rights under California Civil Code Section 1941 and all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as provided by California Civil Code Section 1942 or any other

 

13


  law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Tenant shall, at the end of the Term of this Lease, surrender to Landlord the Premises and all alterations, additions, fixtures and improvements therein or thereto in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear and damage thereto by fire or other casualty excepted.

 

  (c)

Tenant shall be allowed, as reasonably necessary in order to run its technology service, to alter, modify, add to or disturb any telecommunications wiring or cabling in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. However, Tenant shall not alter, modify, add to or disturb any telecommunications wiring or cabling elsewhere in the building without Landlord’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall provide and maintain, at no expense to Tenant (other than as an item of Operating Expenses), reasonably sufficient telephone riser space in the Building core adequate to accommodate the reasonable telecommunications needs of Tenant, and lines and conduit in Building risers or pathways that provide a continuous connection of intrabuilding telecommunications cabling from a telephone closet located on the floor of the Premises (“Tenant’s Telephone Closet”) to the main telephone closet located in the ground or basement level floors of the Building. Landlord hereby acknowledges that Tenant is a communication intensive and driven company with needs beyond a standard general office tenant given its line of business and internet presence. Subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as may be adopted by Landlord for uniform application to all tenants in the Building, Landlord shall permit Tenant reasonable access to Tenant’s Telephone Closet and the Building’s intrabuilding telecommunications cabling for the purposes permitted hereunder and agrees that Tenant may install, remove and maintain in the Premises such voice and data telecommunications equipment as is required by Tenant and, in connection therewith, to connect the same to the distribution frames located in Tenant’s Telephone Closet. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to the telecommunications cabling and wiring in the Building solely due to the act (negligent or otherwise) of Tenant or any employee, agent or contractor of Tenant. Landlord makes no representation to Tenant regarding the condition, security, availability or suitability for Tenant’s purposes of existing intrabuilding network cabling or any telecommunications services presently located within the Building, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for any damages if Tenant’s telecommunications services are in any way interrupted, damaged or otherwise interfered with, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful or criminal misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, Tenant shall maintain and repair all telecommunications cabling and wiring within or exclusively serving the Premises. Landlord reserves the right to limit the number of local exchange carriers and competitive alternative telecommunications providers (collectively “TSPs”) having access to the Building’s riser system and infrastructure, and Landlord reserves the right to charge TSPs for the use of Landlord’s

 

14


  telecommunications riser system and infrastructure; provided, however, in all cases, Landlord will provide Building and riser access to at least one TSP for dial tone telecommunications service to tenants of the Building.

 

  (d) Tenant’s installation of telephone lines, cables, and other electronic telecommunications services and equipment shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Paragraph 14 of this Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove, at its sole cost and expense, all of Tenant’s telecommunications lines and cabling designated by Landlord for removal.

 

  12. SERVICES.

 

  (a)

Landlord shall supply the Premises with electricity for general office lighting and the operation of per-employee desk top office computers, servers and ancillary electronic office equipment, including but not limited to laser printers, color scanners, multipurpose fax machines, full sized photocopiers, for a modern Internet industry office occupant, and water and hot water for lavatory and drinking purposes. Landlord shall furnish janitorial service to the Premises, including but not limited to emptying and removal of general office refuse, light vacuuming and dusting, as needed, and window washing, as determined by Landlord, as well as cleaning all break areas, bathrooms and conference rooms (as well as keeping the aforementioned maintained) during the times that such service is customarily furnished in comparable office buildings in the area, five (5) days per week. In addition, Landlord shall furnish janitorial services to all common areas of the building, during the times that such service is customarily furnished in comparable office buildings in the area, five (5) days per week. However, it is not the Landlord’s janitorial services responsibility to clean refrigerators, do dishes within the break room or any other similar cleaning service. Tenant shall be given the right to review the janitorial contract to ensure it reasonably covers Tenant’s needs. Landlord, however, shall not be liable for failure to furnish any of the foregoing when such failure is caused by accidents or conditions beyond the control of Landlord, or by repairs, labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character, whether resulting from or caused by acts of Landlord or otherwise, or as a consequence of the voluntary or mandatory compliance by Landlord with any governmental regulations, orders or directives to reduce electrical consumption, nor shall Landlord be liable under any circumstances for loss of or injury to property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to the furnishing of any of the foregoing, nor shall any such failure relieve Tenant from the duty to pay the full amount of rent herein reserved, or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, provided that rent shall abate on a proportionate basis if and to the extent the Premises are not usable by Tenant for more than five (5) consecutive business days. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a service administration fee equal to five percent (5%) of total service charges resulting from Tenant’s use of any

 

15


  Building services in excess of that established by Landlord, as hereinabove provided, to compensate Landlord for the administrative costs incurred for such additional Building services provided by Landlord.

 

  (b) Subject to Paragraphs 11 and 34 hereof, Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service (which may be unmanned) on a 24 hour per day, 365 days per year basis, and freight elevator service as reasonably required by Tenant.

 

  (c)

As currently exists upon the date of this Lease and is distributed, as of the Delivery Date, within the Premises located on the 3rd and 4th floor, Landlord shall supply air conditioning during reasonable and usual business hours hereby determined to be 7:00AM until 6:00PM and subject to the Building Rules. In order to determine the amount of HVAC to be provided on a future basis, it will be Tenant’s responsibility to install an e-mon d-mon to submeter the usage. The usage of additional heat and air conditioning capacity, which shall be and is currently distributed to a room within the Premises where data storage electrical equipment and/or computer servers are stored and/or operated, shall be separately metered by Tenant, and paid for in its entirety by Tenant.

 

  (d) Tenant shall pay (as additional rent) all costs attributable to (ii) Tenant’s use of any Building services and utilities in excess of that reasonably established by Landlord as hereinabove provided, (ii) the consumption or use of Building Services (including utilities) in the conduct of Tenant’s business operations in the Premises outside of the Building’s business hours established by Landlord in accordance with the Building Rules (“Building Hours”), except utilities and water, which are included in the Base Rent at all hours, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, in all cases within 30 day, billed at cost, upon receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. Upon notice to Landlord, after-hours HVAC shall be provided to Tenant at a cost equal to the actual utility costs throughout the term of the lease, provided that Tenant installs an e-mon d-mon to submeter its use for after-hours. If submetering is not possible, Tenant shall be charged a rate of $75.00 per hour for after-hours use of the HVAC system as it currently exists upon the date of this Lease.

 

  (e) Should Tenant increase HVAC capacity, which would be at Tenant’s cost, Tenant shall pay for the usage of the extra capacity based on the usage above the current baseline usage. In such an event, Tenant shall be responsible for the install of an e-mon d-mon submeter. Additionally, if Tenant chooses to redistribute the existing HVAC services within the space as of the Delivery Date, Tenant shall be responsible for the install of an e-mon d-mon submeter. In such an event Landlord shall pay for the percentage of utility usage based upon amount of space which the air conditioning was distributed as compared to the amount of space it is to be distributed following redistribution.

 

16


  (f) Provided that Landlord has provided at least thirty (30) days’ written notice and opportunity to cure, which has not occurred to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, then Landlord may refuse to provide electrical service to the Premises that exceeds either in voltage, rated capacity, and/or use beyond Building Hours or overall load that which is hereinabove provided, but only if such usage would adversely affect the electrical capacity or load being supplied or to be supplied to other Building tenants. Landlord may condition any excess usage of electricity on Tenant’s agreement to install (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) reasonably necessary utility service upgrades, meters, submeters, air handlers or cooling units, and the additional cost of installation and maintenance thereof shall be paid for by Tenant.

 

  (g) Electrical service to the Premises may be furnished by one or more companies providing electrical generation, transmission and distribution services, and the cost of electricity may consist of several different components or separate charges for such services, such as generation, distribution and stranded cost charges. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select any company providing electrical service to the Premises, to aggregate the electrical service for the Building and the Premises with other buildings, to purchase electricity through a broker and/or buyers group and to change providers and manner of purchasing electricity, as long as such selections are made in the best interest of the building occupants including Tenant and Landlord pass on services at cost.

 

  13. ALTERATIONS.

 

  (a)

Except for alterations which do not affect the Building structure or systems, are not visible from outside the Premises and do not cost in excess of $5,000 in the aggregate for any single project, in addition to as otherwise provided herein, including cabling, electrical, HVAC and the agreed-upon Tenant Improvements described in the Work Letter, Tenant shall make no alterations, improvements or additions in or to the Premises or any part thereof (individually and collectively, “Alterations”) without giving Landlord prior notice of the proposed Alterations and obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, which consent, except as hereinafter provided, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion if any proposed Alterations would adversely affect any of the structural elements of the Building, the Building’s electrical, plumbing, heating, telecommunications, mechanical or life safety systems. In any event, Landlord shall take no longer than five (5) business days when reviewing a complete set of detailed and dimensioned plans, submitted to Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense including accurate drawings; finish selections; electrical plan; and Title 24 compliant lighting plan; and prepared by a licensed architect, general contractor or other recognized and licensed professional experienced in such work for completion or acceptability. In addition, Landlord requests that at least two weeks prior

 

17


  to commencement of construction or approval of plans, that a meeting be had between Landlord, Tenant, Tenant’s architect and Tenant’s chosen General Contractor to go over the building plans, schedule, building policies, etc. If following review of the submitted plans, Landlord has questions or concerns, Tenant shall have such items addressed as necessary prior to commencement of construction. Premises windows and door frames shall be painted building standard colors only. Any and all work by Tenant shall be performed only by contractors reasonably approved by Landlord. The contractor or person selected to make such Alterations shall at all times be subject to Landlord’s control while in the Building. Upon substantial completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord three (3) sets of “as built” plans covering said Alterations and a copy of the final building permit for the work signed off as approved by the appropriate building inspector.

 

  (b) Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense, which includes drawing from the tenant improvement allowance, obtain all necessary approvals and permits pertaining to any Alterations. Except as to the abatement of pre-existing Hazardous Materials, which Landlord shall be responsible for at its sole cost, Tenant shall be responsible for any additional alterations and improvements required by law to be made by Landlord to or in the Building as a result of any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises made by or for Tenant. All alterations, additions, fixtures (other than trade fixtures) and improvements, including, but not limited to carpeting, other floor coverings, built-in shelving, bookcases, paneling and built-in security systems (excluding any leased system) made in or upon the Premises either by or for Tenant and affixed to or forming a part of the Premises, shall immediately upon installation become Landlord’s property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. If requested by Landlord at the time Landlord approves of the installation or construction of said alteration, addition or improvement, upon the expiration or any sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove or cause to be removed at its expense any and all alterations, additions, and improvements made in or upon the Premises during the term of this Lease by or for Tenant. Additionally, Landlord or Landlord’s architect shall provide path of travel and ADA drawing at no charge to Tenant.

 

  (c)

Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any mechanics’ liens, vendor liens or any other liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any such lien or claim or action thereon, together with costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with any such claim or action. Before commencing any work or alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises, which requires Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) business days’ written notice of the proposed commencement of work (to afford Landlord an opportunity to

 

18


  post appropriate notices of non-responsibility). In the event that there shall be recorded against the Premises or the Building or the property of which the Premises is a part any claim or lien arising out of any such work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant and such claim or lien shall not be removed, bonded over or discharged by Tenant within ten (10) business days of written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to pay and discharge said lien by bond or otherwise without regard to whether such lien shall be lawful or correct. Any reasonable costs, including attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) business days after demand by Landlord.

 

  (d) Before any Alterations or construction with respect thereto are undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing the maintenance in effect by Tenant (or Tenant shall require any contractor performing work on the Premises to carry and maintain, at no expense to Landlord) of workers’ compensation insurance as required by applicable law, Builder’s All Risk insurance in the amount of the replacement cost of any alterations, additions or improvements (or such other amount reasonably required by Landlord) and Commercial General Liability insurance (including, without limitation, Contractor’s Liability coverage, Contractual Liability coverage and Products and Completed Operations coverage) written on an occurrence basis with a minimum combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) and adding the “Owner(s) of the Building and its (or their) respective members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents (and their respective members and principals) and mortgagee(s)” (and any other designees of Landlord as the interest of such designees shall appear) as additional insureds.

Certain materials in the Building, including but not limited to the sprayed-on fireproofing materials applied to certain structural members in the Building, contain asbestos containing materials (“ACM”). In order to prevent exposure to ACM, Landlord has established rules and regulations governing the manner in which Alterations are to be undertaken. Tenant must comply with all Building Rules established by Landlord. Landlord shall remove or encapsulate any and all ACM discovered in the Premises at its sole cost and expense outside of the Tenant Improvement allowance. Such compliance, including the removal of all or a portion of ACM, whether in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building (by Landlord), shall not, in any event, (i) entitle the Tenant to damages, (ii) relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any sums due hereunder, (iii) constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, or (iv) constitute or be construed as a breach of Tenant’s quiet enjoyment so long as Tenant continues to have use of and reasonable access to the Premises for the Permitted Use.

(g) Landlord shall make payments of invoices submitted to Landlord by Tenant for work completed in the Premises up to an amount as indicated in the Basic Lease Information. Such invoices shall include an unconditional lien release submitted to Landlord by Tenant for the payments to be made in question to all subcontractors. Landlord shall make payments within 30

 

19


days of submittal to Landlord of such invoices and unconditional lien releases by Tenant or as acceptable by Tenant’s general contractor per general contractor’s contract with Tenant.

 

  14. INDEMNIFICATION, EXCULPATION AND INSURANCE.

 

  (a) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, for any damage to or loss or theft of any property or for any bodily or personal injury, illness or death of any person in, on or about the Premises or the Building arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, damage or injury to persons, property and the conduct of Tenant’s business and any loss of revenue therefrom).

 

  (b) Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord, and Landlord hereby waives all claims against Tenant, for any third party claims whatsoever, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant. In no event shall Tenant be liable for any consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, damage or injury to persons, property and the conduct of Tenant’s business and any loss of revenue therefrom).

 

  (c) Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising from or related to any use or occupancy of the Premises, or any condition of the Premises, or any default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations, or any damage to any property (including property of employees and invitees of Tenant) or any bodily or personal injury, illness or death of any person (including employees and invitees of Tenant) occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord) or occurring in, on or about any part of the Building other than the Premises when such damage, bodily or personal injury, illness or death is caused by any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, officers, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees. This Paragraph 14(b) shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, bodily or personal injury, illness or death occurring prior to such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord has an affirmative obligation to maintain the Building in a safe manner and is liable for all third party claims arising from the safety of the Building.

 

  (d)

Landlord shall indemnify and defend Tenant against and hold Tenant harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising from or related to any use or occupancy of the Building, or any condition of the Building, or any default in the performance of Landlord’s

 

20


  obligations, or any damage to any property (including property of employees and invitees of Tenant) or any bodily or personal injury, illness or death of any person (including employees and invitees of Tenant) occurring in, on or about the Building or any part thereof arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant) or occurring in, on or about any part of the Building other than the Premises when such damage, bodily or personal injury, illness or death is caused by any act or omission of Landlord or its agents, officers, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees. This Paragraph 14(b) shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, bodily or personal injury, illness or death occurring prior to such termination.

 

  (e) Tenant shall, at all times during the Term of this Lease and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain and keep in force workers’ compensation insurance as required by applicable law, including an employers’ liability endorsement; business interruption insurance in an amount equal to all rent payable under this Lease for a period of twelve (12) months (at the then current rent charged); and commercial general liability insurance, including contractual liability (specifically covering this Lease), fire legal liability, and premises operations, with a minimum combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily or personal injury to, illness of, or death of persons and damage to property occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Building. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, be responsible for insuring Tenant’s furniture, equipment, fixtures, computers, office machines and personal property (“Tenant’s Property”).

 

  (f)

All insurance required under this Paragraph 14 and all renewals thereof shall be issued by financially responsible and reputable insurance companies, qualified to do business in the State of California and reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Liability amounts in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) may be carried under umbrella coverage policies. Each policy shall have a deductible or deductibles, if any, which do not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per occurrence. Each policy shall expressly provide that the insurer will endeavor to provide thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of cancellation or non-renewal of the policy, and shall remain in effect notwithstanding any such cancellation or non-renewal until such notice shall have been given to Landlord and such period of thirty (30) days shall have expired. All liability insurance under this Paragraph 14 shall name Landlord and any other parties designated by Landlord as an additional insured, shall be primary and noncontributing with any insurance which may be carried by Landlord, shall afford coverage for all claims based on any act, omission, event or condition that occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) during the policy period, and shall expressly provide that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover under the policy for any loss, injury or damage to Landlord. Upon

 

21


  the issuance thereof, Tenant shall deliver a certificate thereof to Landlord for retention by Landlord. If Tenant fails to insure or fails to furnish to Landlord upon notice to do so any such policy or certified copy and certificate thereof as required, Landlord shall have the right from time to time to effect such insurance for the benefit of Tenant or Landlord or both of them and all premiums paid by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant as additional rent on demand.

 

  (g) Tenant waives on behalf of all insurers under all policies of property, liability and other insurance (excluding workers’ compensation) now or hereafter carried by Tenant insuring or covering the Premises, or any portion or any contents thereof, or any operations therein, all rights of subrogation which any insurer might otherwise, if at all, have to any claims of Tenant against Landlord. Landlord waives on behalf of all insurers under all policies of property, liability and other insurance (excluding workers’ compensation) now or hereafter carried by Landlord insuring or covering the Building or any portion or any contents thereof, or any operations therein, all rights of subrogation which any insurer might otherwise, if at all, have to any claims of Landlord against Tenant. Tenant shall, prior to or immediately after the date of this Lease, procure from each of the insurers under all policies of property, liability and other insurance (excluding workers’ compensation) now or hereafter carried by Tenant insuring or covering the Premises, or any portion or any contents thereof, or any operations therein, a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer might otherwise, if at all, have to any claims of Tenant against Landlord as required by this Paragraph 14.

 

  15. DESTRUCTION.

 

  (a)

In the event of a partial destruction of the Premises during the Term from any cause, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same (except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 15 as to a casualty occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term), provided such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days under the laws and regulations of State, county, federal or municipal authorities, but such partial destruction shall not annul or void this Lease, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportional abatement in rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate abatement to be based upon the amount of square footage in the Premises damaged and the length of time said area is not either actually being used by Tenant for business purposes or is not in a condition habitable for general office use. If such repairs cannot be made within ninety (90) days of such casualty, or if the casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, and Tenant has not signed a new lease for the Premises and/or renewed this Lease for an additional Term, and would result in any rent abatement for a period greater than thirty (30) days, Landlord may, at its option, elect to make such repairs within a reasonable time, this Lease continuing in full force and effect and the rent to be proportionately abated as provided hereinabove. In the event that

 

22


  Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs which cannot be made in ninety (90) days or which results from a casualty occurring during the last twelve months of the term, within a reasonable time following the casualty (but in no event more than sixty (60) days), this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party. If Landlord elects or is required to restore the Premises and does not substantially complete such restoration, as is reasonably interpreted, and deliver the Premises to Tenant within 120 days following the casualty, Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease by notice to Landlord delivered after such 120-day period and prior to delivery of the Premises. In the event that any portion of the Building other than the Premises is destroyed to the extent of twenty percent (20%) or more of the replacement cost of the Building, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured or not. A total destruction of the Building shall terminate this Lease. Upon Lease termination by Landlord, all prepaid rents and other monies owing to Tenant shall be paid within 10 days, and, whether or not the Lease is terminated, Tenant is not responsible for Services or other expenses as of the date of the damages to the Premises and/or Building.

 

  (b) If the Premises are to be repaired or restored by Landlord under this Paragraph 15, Landlord shall repair or restore, at Landlord’s cost, the Premises itself and any and all permanently affixed improvements in the Premises constructed or provided by Landlord as of the commencement of the Term, together with any permanently affixed Alterations approved by Landlord (unless at the time of construction Landlord informs Tenant that Tenant will be required to remove the same at the end of the Term). In no event shall Landlord repair, replace or restore any of Tenant’s Property, unless the damage was due to the gross negligence or misconduct of Landlord.

 

  16. ENTRY.

Tenant will permit Landlord and its agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all reasonable times and upon not less than 24 hours prior notice for the purpose of inspecting the same, or for the purpose of protecting owners’ reversion, or to make alterations or additions to the Premises or to any other portion of the Building, or for maintaining any service provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, including engineering maintenance, window cleaning and janitorial service, without any rebate of rent to Tenant for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, or damage, injury or inconvenience thereby occasioned, and will permit Landlord at any reasonable time during the last six (6) months of the Term upon not less than 24 hours prior notice to bring upon the Premises, for purposes of inspection or display, prospective tenants thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any inspection, alterations or additions to the Premises or to any other portion of the Building or maintenance thereof, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the interference with Tenant’s use and access to the Premises during normal business hours.

 

23


  17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

 

  (a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (i) if Tenant shall default in its obligation to pay any rent or other payment(s) due hereunder as and when due and payable, after a seven (7) day grace period; provided, however, with respect to the first such delinquency in payment of rent during any twelve (12) month period, such delinquency in payment of rent shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be an Event of Default until the failure of payment continues for a period of five (5) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or (ii) if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other term hereof (except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph) or of the Building Rules described in Paragraph 8 hereof to be performed or observed by Tenant, such failure shall continue for more than twenty-one (21) days after notice thereof from Landlord, and Tenant shall not within such period commence with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default, or, having so commenced, thereafter shall fail or neglect to prosecute or complete with due diligence the curing of such default within forty-five (45) days; or (iii) any assignment or subletting in violation of the terms of this Lease; (iv) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or shall file a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer admitting or shall fail timely to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or any material part of its property; or (v) the taking of any action leading to, or the actual dissolution or liquidation of Tenant, if such dissolution or liquidation is not part of a merger or acquisition of some or all of its assets, if Tenant is other than an individual; or (vi) if within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed or if, within ninety (90) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescent of Tenant, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of any material part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated; (vii) if this Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within thirty (30) days; or (viii) any failure by Tenant to timely deliver an estoppel certificate requested by Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 29 hereof within fifteen (15) business days for purpose of Landlord refinancing the Building.

 

24


(b) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Landlord: (i) if Landlord shall default in its obligation to provided Services or reimburse for undisputed Tenant improvements as provided herein; or (ii) if the Building or Premises become unusable or fall below legal safety standards due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord and due to no fault of Tenant; or (iii) if Landlord shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or shall file a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer admitting or shall fail timely to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Landlord or any material part of its property; or (iv) the taking of any action leading to, or the actual dissolution or liquidation of Landlord, if such dissolution or liquidation is not part of a merger or acquisition of some or all of its assets, if Landlord is other than an individual; or (vi) if within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Landlord seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed or if, within ninety (90) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescent of Landlord, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Landlord or of any material part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated; or (vii) if this Lease hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within thirty (30) days.

(c) The notice requirements of Paragraph 17(a) above shall be in lieu of, and, to the extent applicable, the notice periods therein provided shall run concurrently with, any notice requirements and/or periods provided for under applicable law as a condition to the exercise of any remedies of Landlord or Tenant upon an Event of Default under this Lease.

 

  18. TERMINATION UPON DEFAULT.

After Tenant has failed to cure any Event of Default in accordance with the applicable cure provisions specified in paragraph 17 hereof, Landlord in its sole discretion may elect to declare a forfeiture of this Lease as provided in Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, provided that Landlord’s written notice to Tenant (following Tenant’s failure to cure as referenced above) states such an election. Thereafter, Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, unless on or before the date specified in such notice all arrears of rent and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord hereunder, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such default, shall have been paid by Tenant and all other breaches of this Lease by Tenant at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord. Upon such termination, Landlord may recover from Tenant (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (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 rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate

 

25


Landlord for all the detriment directly 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. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above is computed by allowing interest at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus 5% per annum at date of termination, but in no event in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (c) above 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%. For the purpose of determining unpaid rent under clause (c) above, the monthly rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the sum of the Base Rent and the amounts last payable by Tenant as reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Paragraphs 5(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof for the calendar year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided herein.

In the case of Landlord Default, Tenant may set off or abate the financial sums constituting the default until the Default is cured by Landlord.

 

  19. CONTINUATION AFTER DEFAULT.

Even though Tenant has breached this Lease this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession as provided in Paragraph 18 hereof, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such event, Landlord may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code (which provides that a landlord may continue a lease in effect after a tenant’s breach and recover rent as it becomes due, if the tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor statute. In addition, Tenant shall not be considered in default for vacating the Premises so long as Tenant’s rent is paid per the terms of this Lease and is not in default on any other provisions of this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. If a receiver is appointed at the instance of Landlord in any action against Tenant, the receiver may, if it is necessary or convenient in order to collect rents and profits, conduct the business of Tenant then being carried on in the Premises, and may take possession of any personal property belonging to Tenant and used in the conduct of such business and may use the same in conducting such business.

 

  20. OTHER RELIEF.

In the event of re-entry or taking possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to remove all or any part of the trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property located in the Premises and to place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant or to sell such property in accordance with applicable law. The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.

 

  21. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT.

All agreements and provisions to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at its sole cost and expense and without abatement of rent except as

 

26


provided herein or as required by law or equity. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder and such failure shall not be cured prior to the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to so do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be payable to Landlord on demand.

 

  22. ATTORNEY’S FEES.

If as a result of any breach or default on the part of either party under this Lease the non-breaching or defaulting party uses the services of an attorney in order to secure compliance with this Lease, the breaching or defaulting party shall reimburse the non-breaching or defaulting party upon demand as additional rent for any and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the non-breaching or defaulting party, whether or not formal legal proceedings are instituted. Should either party bring an action against the other party, by reason of or alleging the failure of the other party to comply with any or all of its obligations hereunder, whether for declaratory or other relief, then the party which prevails in such action shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses related to such action, in addition to all other recovery or relief. A party shall be deemed to have prevailed in any such action (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) if such action is dismissed upon the payment by the other party of the sums allegedly due or the performance of obligations allegedly not complied with, or if such party obtains substantially the relief sought by it in the actions, irrespective of whether such action is prosecuted to judgment, unless otherwise provided in the settlement agreement.

 

  23. NO WAIVER.

Landlord’s failure to take advantage of any default or breach of covenant on the part of Tenant shall not be, or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any custom or practice which may grow up between the parties in the course of administering this instrument be construed to waive or to lessen the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition hereof, or to exercise any rights given him on account of any such default. A waiver of a particular breach or default shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other subsequent breach or default. The acceptance of rent hereunder shall not be, nor be construed to be, a waiver of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease.

 

  24. NOTICES.

All approvals, consents and other notices given by Landlord or Tenant under this Lease shall be properly given only if made in writing and either deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified with return receipt requested, sent by trackable delivery service including UPS and FedEx, or delivered by hand (which may be through a messenger or recognized delivery, courier or air express service) and addressed to Landlord at the address of Landlord specified in the Basic Lease Information or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a written notice to Tenant, and addressed to Tenant at the address of Tenant specified in the Basic Lease Information and, after the Commencement Date, at the Premises, together with a copy to such other address as Tenant may from time to time designate in a written notice to Landlord. Such approvals, consents and other notices shall be effective on

 

27


the date of receipt (evidenced by the certified mail or delivery service receipt), if mailed, or sent by commercial delivery service, or on the date of hand delivery, if hand delivered. If any such approval, consent or other notice is not received or cannot be delivered due to a change in the address of the receiving party of which notice was not previously given to the sending party or due to a refusal to accept by the receiving party, such request, approval, consent, notice or other communication shall be effective on the date delivery is attempted. Any approval, consent or other notice under this Lease may be given on behalf of a party by the attorney for such party. Tenant hereby appoints as its agent to receive the service of all default notices and notice of commencement of unlawful detainer proceedings the person in charge of or apparently in charge of or occupying the Premises at the time, and, if there is not such person, then such service may be made by attaching the same on the main entrance of the Premises and such service shall be effective for all purposes under this Lease.

 

  25. EMINENT DOMAIN.

If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or agreement in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the case of a partial taking, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Premises by giving written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such date. In addition to the foregoing, in the event any such taking by eminent domain includes a portion of the Premises which is material to Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s option, to Terminate this Lease, by giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after such date. Tenant waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 relating to a lease termination from a partial taking. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or interest therein which may be paid or made in connection therewith by the government entity, agency, or other making the taking, and all obligations of Tenant shall terminate for the portion of the Premises affected by the taking. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises, which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rent thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired Term of this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to pursue any separate award so long as such action does not reduce the award to which Landlord is entitled.

 

  26. LATE CHARGE.

Rent or other payments due under this Lease which remain unpaid more than 30 days past due shall bear interest at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus 2.5% per annum, as it may be from time to time, but in no event in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of such rent or other payments will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. This Paragraph does not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay rent or other payments when due. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the late charge and the default interest shall not be charged the first time during the Term that Tenant is late in making a

 

28


payment of rent until Landlord has first given Tenant five (5) business days’ notice and opportunity to cure.

 

  27. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

 

  (a) Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all of the covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, including, without limitation, defaults by Tenant in the payment of rent, the payment of any damages arising from Tenant’s default under this Lease, the repair of damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, and the light cleaning of the Premises upon termination of the tenancy created hereby, normal wear and tear excepted, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest thereon. Landlord may not draw upon the Security Deposit without giving Tenant ten (10) days’ written notice and an opportunity to cure. If Landlord uses or applies the Security Deposit or any portion thereof, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be deemed a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall return portions of the security deposit immediately upon the reduction date(s) set forth in the Basic Lease information, subject to Landlord’s satisfactory review and approval of Tenant’s then summary financial statements (such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and if Tenant’s then Balance Sheet and then Net Income for the prevailing quarter is higher than it is upon Lease Execution, such shall automatically qualify and be deemed approved by Landlord), and shall return the security deposit within thirty (30) days after the lease expiration date.

 

  (b) Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Security Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds. Upon termination of the original Landlord’s or any successor owner’s interest in the Premises or the Building, the original Landlord or such successor owner shall be released from further liability with respect to the Deposits upon the original Landlord’s or such successor owner’s complying with California Civil Code Section 1950.7. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a 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 reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage caused by the default of Tenant under this Lease.

 

29


  (c) Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit and Key Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Security Deposit and Key Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit and Key Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds. Upon termination of the original Landlord’s or any successor owner’s interest in the Premises or the Building, the original Landlord or such successor owner shall be released from further liability with respect to the Deposits upon the original Landlord’s or such successor owner’s complying with California Civil Code Section 1950.7. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a 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 reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage caused by the default of Tenant under this Lease.

 

  28. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

  29. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

From time to time, Landlord and Tenant shall furnish to any party designated by either Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, within ten (10) days after a request has been made therefor, a certificate signed by the applicable party confirming and containing such factual certifications and representations as to this Lease as the requesting party may reasonably request stating (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification), (ii) the date, if any, to which rental and other sums payable hereunder have been paid, (iii) that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in said certificate and (iv) such other factual matters as may be reasonably requested by the requesting party. If any party fails to deliver to the requesting party the certificate within such required time period, Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagee, any prospective purchaser or mortgagee, and any other identified party may conclusively presume and rely upon the foregoing facts. In such event, the applicable party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the presumed facts.

 

  30. SURRENDER.

Tenant shall surrender the Premises at the termination of the tenancy herein created broom clean, and in the same condition as herein agreed they have been received, reasonable use and wear thereof and damage by the act of God or by the elements excepted. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall at the option of Landlord, terminate all of any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies. At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall

 

30


remove or cause to be removed at its sole expense all of Tenant’s personal property, furniture and equipment, including telephone and data processing lines, and all Alterations required by Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 13 hereof. Tenant shall repair at its expense all damage to the Premises and the Building caused by the removal of any of the items provided herein. Tenant obligations under this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease.

 

  31. HOLDING OVER.

If, without reasonable objection by Landlord, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month upon the terms herein specified but at a Base Rent equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the Term of this Lease, payable in advance on or before the first day of each month. Such month to month tenancy may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of termination to the other at any time. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease except as hereinabove provided, Tenant (i) shall pay Base Rent at a rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the Term and (ii) Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from all direct costs, loss, expense or liability, including direct costs, real estate brokers claims and attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any delay by Tenant in surrendering and vacating the Premises, but not indirect costs including but not limited to lost profits or consequential damages of the next Tenant of space. However, Tenant shall be responsible for any indirect costs, if any, including but not limited to lost profits or consequential damages, directly to Landlord associated with Landlord’s ability to re-let the space subject to Landlord’s reasonably attempt to mitigate such loses.

C-1


1.2. Landlord’s sole interest in reviewing and approving the Construction Drawings (as defined in Section 2.1 below) is to protect the Building and Landlord’s interests, and no such review or approval by Landlord shall be deemed to create any liability of any kind on the part of Landlord, or constitute a representation on the part of Landlord or any person consulted by Landlord in connection with such review and approval that the Space Plans or Final Working Drawings (each as defined in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 below, respectively) are correct or accurate, or are in compliance with any applicable Requirements.

1.3. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of designing the Tenant Improvements and performing the Tenant Improvement Work to the extent such costs exceed the Construction Allowance.

2.3. Final Working Drawings. Following Landlord’s approval of the Space Plans, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare and submit for Landlord’s approval complete and detailed construction plans and specifications, including a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, fire protection, electrical and plumbing working drawings for the Tenant Improvement Work, in a form which is sufficiently complete to permit subcontractors to bid on the work, obtain all required Permits, as hereinafter defined and commence construction (the “Final Working Drawings”). The scope of the Tenant Improvements are minor in scope, therefore the MEP engineering shall be done Design Build. The architectural documents shall show the scope of work of the MEP for Landlord review and approval. Upon completion of construction the General Contractor shall submit to the Landlord As- Built MEP documentation for their record. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with three (3) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the Final Working Drawings by giving written notice to Tenant within five (5) business days after receipt thereof. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Final Working Drawings, provided that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled to withhold its consent to the Final Working Drawings for any of the reasons specified in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 2.2 above, or if in Landlord’s good faith judgment, the Final Working Drawings are inconsistent with, or do not conform to, the Space Plans. If Landlord disapproves the Final Working Drawings, Landlord shall return the Final Working Drawings to Tenant with a statement of Landlord’s reasons for disapproval and/or specifying any required corrections or revisions. Landlord shall approve or disapprove of any such revisions to the Final Working Drawings within three (3) business days after receipt of such revisions. This procedure shall be repeated until Landlord approves the Final Working Drawings (as so approved, the “Approved Working Drawings”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Tenant may file for Permits at the same time it submits its revisions of the Final Working Drawings for Landlord’s consent, provided it incorporates the changes required by Landlord in its initial review of the Final Working Drawings.

(b) Upon Tenant’s execution thereof, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with true and correct copies of all construction contracts between or among Tenant, Tenant’s Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvement Work, provided that Landlord’s review of such contracts shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Work Letter nor shall such review be deemed to constitute Landlord’s representation that such contracts comply with the requirements of this Work Letter. All such contracts shall expressly provide that (i) the work to be performed thereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Work Letter and (ii) the Tenant Improvement Work (or in the case of a subcontractor, the portion thereof performed by such subcontractor) shall be warranted in writing to Tenant and Landlord to be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of completion of the Tenant Improvement Work. Tenant agrees to give to Landlord any assignment or other assurances which may be necessary to permit Landlord to directly enforce such warranties (such warranties shall include, without additional charge, the repair of any portion of the Building or Common Areas which may be damaged as a result of the removal or replacement of the defective Tenant Improvements). Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Agents to engage only labor that is harmonious and compatible with other labor working in the Building or working in similar buildings in similar locations within San Francisco Central Business District. In the event of any labor disturbance caused by persons employed by Tenant or Tenant’s Contractor, Tenant shall immediately take all actions necessary to eliminate such disturbance. If at any time any of Tenant’s Agents unreasonably interferes with any other occupant of the Building, or hinders or delays any other work of improvement in the Building, or performs any work which may or does impair the quality, integrity or performance of any portion of the Building, including any Building Systems, Tenant shall cause such subcontractor, laborer, materialman or supplier to leave the Building and remove all tools, equipment and materials immediately upon written notice delivered to Tenant, and, without limiting Tenant’s indemnity obligations set forth in Section 14 of the Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs, expenses, losses or damages incurred or suffered by Landlord resulting from the acts or omissions of Tenant’s Agents in or about the Building.

(c) Landlord hereby agrees to take responsibility for and be liable, directly to Tenant’s Agents for the payment of an amount up to the Construction Allowance, hereinafter defined. Such will then serve as a limit upon liability for Tenant for such amount of

3.2. Permits. Following approval of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall obtain all building permits and other permits, authorizations and approvals which may be required in connection with, or to satisfy all Requirements applicable to, the construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings (the “Permits”). Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any documents or applications filed by Tenant to obtain Permits concurrently with any such filing, but in no event shall Tenant file any such documents or applications until the Final Working Drawings have been approved. Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any Permits or the certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such Permit or certificate of occupancy. Any amendments or revisions to the Approved Working Drawings that may be necessary to obtain any such Permits, or which may be required by city officials or inspectors to comply with code rulings or interpretations, shall be prepared by Tenant’s Architect, at Tenant’s expense (provided that to the extent funds are available, such expense may be reimbursed from the Construction Allowance), and submitted to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval as a Change Order under Section 5 below. If Landlord disapproves of such amendments or revisions, Landlord shall return the same to Tenant with a statement of Landlord’s reasons for disapproval, or specifying any required corrections. This procedure shall be repeated until Landlord approves the amendments or revisions and all Permits have been obtained for the Approved Working Drawings, as so amended.

3.6. Liens; Releases of Lien. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Should Tenant fail to remove any such lien within five (5) days after notice to do so from Landlord, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies, record a bond pursuant to California Civil Code Section 3143 and all costs and obligations incurred by Landlord in so doing shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent under the Lease. However, as noted previously, Landlord shall be responsible for the direct payment of an amount up to the Construction Allowance for Landlord approved expenses which are accompanies by invoices and an unconditional line release.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DISCLOSURE

California law requires landlords to disclose to tenants the existence of certain hazardous substances. Accordingly, the existence of gasoline and other automotive fluids, maintenance fluids, copying fluids and other office supplies and equipment, certain construction and finish materials, tobacco smoke, cosmetics and other personal items, and asbestos containing materials (“ACM”) must be disclosed. Gasoline and other automotive fluids may be found in the garage or parking areas of the Building, if any. Cleaning, lubricating and hydraulic fluids used in the operation and maintenance of the Building are found in the utility areas of the Building not generally accessible to Building occupants or the public. Many Building occupants use copy machines and printers with associated fluids and toners, and pens, markers, inks, and office equipment that may contain hazardous substances. Certain adhesives, paints and other construction materials and finishes used in portions of the Building may contain hazardous substances. Although smoking is prohibited in the public areas of the Building, these areas may, from time to time, be exposed to tobacco smoke. Building occupants and other persons entering the Building from time-to-time may use or carry prescription and non-prescription drugs, perfumes, cosmetics and other toiletries, and foods and beverages, some of which may contain hazardous substances. Further, certain portions of the Building contain ACM in the form of fireproofing on structural elements, heat insulation sealed within fire doors, and small areas of resilient floor tile, but these areas are generally inaccessible to Building occupants and visitors, such as machinery and utility rooms, the inside of sealed walls and above suspended ceilings. Landlord has made no special investigation of the Premises with respect to any hazardous substances. Landlord agrees to abate or encapsulate all ACM when discovered per the terms of this Lease.

SERVICES

The requirements of Tenant will be attended to only upon application in writing at the office of the Building. Personnel of Landlord shall not perform any work or do anything outside of their regular duties unless under special instructions from Landlord.

WAIVER

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 of the tenants of the Building. Landlord shall not enforce the rules and regulations in a discriminatory manner.

SUPPLEMENTAL TO LEASE

These Rules and Regulations are in addition to, and shall not be construed to in any way modify or amend, in whole or in part, the covenants of this Lease.
