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

 

2.Occupancy; Adjustment of Commencement Date

 

2.1 Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises on or before the Commencement Date; provided, if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date in the condition specified in Section 5 hereof, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of this Lease be affected; provided further, the Term of this Lease shall commence on the date possession is actually tendered to Tenant and the Expiration Date shall be extended commensurately, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written amendment to this Lease, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, wherein the parties shall specify the actual commencement date and expiration date. Tenant shall execute and return such amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof. The word “Term” whenever used herein refers to the initial term of this Lease and any valid extension(s) thereof.

 

2.2 Landlord shall permit Tenant to access and occupy the Premises prior to the actual Commencement Date, provided Tenant shall have first delivered to Landlord each of the following: (a) all insurance certificates required by be obtained by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation, Section 12 hereof; (b) Tenant and Landlord shall have fully executed and delivered this Lease; and (c) a fully executed original of that certain Lease Termination Agreement (“Termination Agreement”) by and between Willow Park Holding Company I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Current Landlord”), and Tenant pursuant to which Current Landlord and Tenant agree to terminate that certain Lease Agreement, dated September 4, 2002 (“Current Lease”), by which Tenant leased from Current Landlord the premises located at 1360 Willow Park Road, Suite 201A, Menlo Park, California (“Current Premises”). For the period commencing on the date Landlord grants such access to Tenant to the day prior to the Commencement Date, such access and occupancy shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and subject to all the provisions of this Lease, except the payment of Rent. Additionally, Landlord shall have the right to impose additional reasonable conditions on Tenants access and early occupancy.

 

3.Rent

 

Pursuant to the provisions of the Current Lease, Tenant caused a letter of credit to be issued in favor of Current Landlord in the amount of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($115,000.00) (“Current LC”). Landlord agrees that instead of causing a new letter of credit to be issued in favor of Landlord, Tenant may cause the Current LC to be amended to provide that from and after March 1, 2004 the Current LC is solely for the benefit of Landlord and solely as additional collateral to secure the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and not the Current Lease. From and after such modification of the Current LC and delivery of the Current LC to Landlord as required hereunder, provided such modified Current LC satisfies the terms and conditions of Addendum 1, the Current LC shall thereafter be deemed and referred to herein as the “Letter of Credit” as further denned in Addendum 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. No later than March 1, 2004, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Letter of Credit which, pursuant to the provisions hereof and the terms of Addendum 1 shall be in the sum of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($115,000.00). Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the Base Rent and, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating

 

1.


Expenses, Tax Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs, and Utility Expenses, without prior notice or demand, abatement, offset, deduction or claim, in advance at Landlord’s Address commencing on March 1, 2004 and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of the Lease. Any prorated Rent shall be paid on the Commencement Date, and any prorated Rent for the final calendar month hereof shall be paid on the first (1st) day of the calendar month in which the date of expiration or termination occurs. Provided that Tenant faithfully performs all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord shall abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s monthly Base Rent in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Eight Dollars ($25,568.00) and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, Common Area Utility Costs, and Utility Expenses for the period from the Commencement Date through February 29, 2004; provided, during such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of any other Additional Rent under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 18 of this Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Section 18 of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the monthly Rent that was abated under the provisions of this Section 3. The term “Rent” whenever used herein refers to the aggregate of all these amounts. The Rent for any fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement or expiration or termination of the Lease Term shall be a Prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty (30) day month.

 

4.Security Deposit

 

Pursuant to the provisions of the Termination Agreement, Landlord hereby agrees that upon the termination of the Current Lease, Current Landlord shall, after first deducting all amounts necessary to cure all defaults by Tenant under the Current Lease, transfer to Landlord all amounts then held by Current Landlord as a security deposit for the benefit of Tenant pursuant to the Current Lease, and all sums so transferred shall be held by Landlord as a Security Deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. Within five (5) days following written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the difference, if any, between the remainder of the security deposit under the Current Lease delivered by Current Landlord to Landlord and the amount of the Security Deposit required by and as set forth in the Basic Lease Information. If Tenant is in default hereunder, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, use all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord in connection therewith, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of written demand, pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security Deposit so applied or used to replenish the amount of the Security Deposit held to increase such deposit to the amount initially deposited with Landlord. Such notice by Landlord may be in the form of a notice to perform covenant or quit pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 1161, or any successor statute. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of this Lease and vacation of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, less such amounts as are reasonably necessary, as determined by Landlord, to remedy Tenant’s default(s) hereunder or to otherwise restore the Premises to the condition required hereunder. If the cost to restore the Premises exceeds the amount of the Security Deposit Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord any and all of such excess sums. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from other funds, and, unless otherwise required by law, Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. In no event or circumstance shall Tenant have the right to any use of the Security Deposit and, specifically, Tenant may not use the Security Deposit as a credit or to otherwise offset any payments required hereunder.

4.


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

 

6.4 Annual Reconciliation: By June 30th of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an accounting of actual and accrued Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses. Within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s delivery of such accounting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by Landlord to give such accounting by such date shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to collect any underpayment by Tenant at any time. Landlord shall credit the amount of any overpayment by Tenant toward the next estimated monthly installment(s) falling due, or where the Term of the Lease has expired, refund the amount of overpayment to Tenant within sixty (60) days. If the Term of the Lease expires prior to the annual reconciliation of expenses Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate Tenant’s Share of such expenses, and if Landlord determines that there has been an underpayment, Landlord may deduct such underpayment from Tenant’s Security Deposit. Failure by Landlord to accurately estimate Tenant’s Share of such expenses or to otherwise perform such reconciliation of expenses shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect any of Tenant’s underpayment at any time during the Term of the Lease or at any time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

6.5 Audit: After delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense through any accountant designated by it, shall have the right to examine and/or audit the books and records evidencing such costs and expenses for the previous one (1) calendar year, during Landlord’s reasonable business hours but not more frequently than once during any calendar year. Any such accounting firm designated by Tenant may not be compensated on a contingency fee basis. The results of any such audit (and any negotiations between the parties related thereto) shall be maintained strictly confidential by Tenant and its accounting firm and shall not be disclosed, published or otherwise disseminated to any other party other than to Landlord and its authorized agents. Landlord and Tenant each shall use its best efforts to cooperate in such negotiations and to promptly resolve any discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in the accounting of such costs and expenses. If such audit reveals that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, the amount overcharged shall be paid to Tenant within 30 days after the audit is concluded.

 

6.6 Tenant Move-in Questionnaire: Prior to executing this Lease, Tenant has completed, executed and delivered to Landlord Tenant’s Move-in and Lease Renewal Environmental Questionnaire (the “Tenant Move-in Questionnaire”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated herein by this reference. Tenant covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord that the information on the Tenant Move-in Questionnaire is true and correct and accurately describes the use(s) of Hazardous Substances which will be made and/or used on the Premises by Tenant.

 

7.Utilities and Services

 

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

 

7.1 Utility Expenses: For any such utility fees, use charges, or similar services that are not billed or metered separately to Tenant, including without limitation, water and sewer charges, and garbage and waste disposal (collectively, “Utility Expenses”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses. If Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses is not commensurate with Tenant’s use of such services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount which is attributable to Tenant’s use of the utilities or similar services, as reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord, based upon factors such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of such utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges reasonably consistent with Tenant’s use of such utilities and similar

 

5.


services. If Tenant disputes any such estimate or determination, then Tenant shall either pay the estimated amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s Share of any assessments, charges, and fees included within any tax bill for the Lot on which the Premises are situated, including without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, sewer use fees, and any other similar fees or charges.

 

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

 

7.3 Miscellaneous: Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may become subject to the rationing of utility services or restrictions on utility use as required by a public utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant agrees that its tenancy and occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing restrictions as may be imposed upon Landlord, Tenant, the Premises, or other portions of the Project, and Tenant shall in no event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or restrictions. If permitted by applicable Laws, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term of this Lease to either contract for service from a different company or companies (each Such company referred to as an “Alternate Service Provider”) other than the company or companies presently providing electricity service for the Project (the “Electric Service Provider”) if Landlord believes, in Landlord’s good faith judgment, that such Alternate Service Provider will provide the same consistency of service, or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service Provider. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises provided that Tenant’s access to use of the Premises shall not be unreasonably interfered with thereby.

 

8.Late Charges

 

Any and all sums or charges set forth in this Section 8 are considered part of Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment (the second day of each month or any time thereafter) by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and all other sums due hereunder, will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs may include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by any encumbrance against the Premises, and late charges and penalties due to the late payment of real property taxes on the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant is not received by Landlord within two (2) business days of due, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord a late charge, as liquidated damages, in an amount equal to six percent (6%) of such delinquent amount plus interest on such delinquent amount at the rate equal to the prime rate plus three percent (3%) per year for every month or portion thereof that such sums remain unpaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord waives the late charge for the first (1st) instance during any calendar year of the Term of this Lease in which Tenant fails to timely pay Rent. If Tenant delivers to Landlord a check for which there are not sufficient funds, Landlord may require Tenant to replace such check with a cashier’s check for the amount of such check and all other charges payable hereunder. The parties agree that this late charge and the other charges referenced above represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment by Tenant, excluding attorneys’ fees and costs. Acceptance of any late charge or other charges shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to the delinquent amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord for any other breach of Tenant under this Lease.

 

9.Use of Premises

 

9.1 Compliance with Laws, Recorded Matters, and Rules and Regulations: The Premises are to be used solely for the purposes and uses specified in the Basic Lease Information and for no other uses or purposes without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the proposed use (i) does not involve the use of Hazardous Materials other than as expressly permitted under the provisions of Section 27 below, (ii) does not require any additional parking spaces, and (iii) is compatible and consistent with the other uses then being made in the Project and in other similar types of buildings in the vicinity of the Project, as reasonably determined by Landlord. The use of the Premises by Tenant and its employees, representatives, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, customers or contractors (collectively, “Tenant’s Representatives”) shall be subject to, and

 

6.


at all times in compliance with, (a) any and all applicable laws, rules, codes, ordinances, statutes, orders and regulations as same exist from time to time throughout the Term of this Lease (collectively, the “Laws”), including without limitation, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law codified at 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., including, but not limited to Title III thereof, all regulations and guidelines related thereto and all requirements of Title 24 of the State of California (collectively, the “ADA”), (b) any and all documents, instruments, licenses, restrictions, easements or similar instruments, conveyances or encumbrances which are at any time, and from time to time, required to be made by or given by Landlord in any manner relating to the initial development of the Project and/or the construction from time to time of any additional buildings or other improvements in the Project, including without limitation, any Alterations (collectively, the “Development Documents”), (c) any and all documents, easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions, and similar instruments, together with any and all amendments and supplements thereto made from time to time each of which has been or hereafter is recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Project (collectively, the “Recorded Matters”), and (d) any and all rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit C hereto, any other reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord now or hereafter enacted relating to parking and the operation of the Premises and/or any other part of the Project and any and all rules, restrictions and/or regulations imposed by any applicable owners association or similar entity or body (collectively, the “Rules and Regulations”). Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant, without the consent of Tenant, such easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems reasonably necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel or subdivision maps and/or restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions, as applicable, do not materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s operations in the Premises. Tenant agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easements, rights, dedications, maps or restrictions. Tenant agrees to, and does hereby, assume full and complete responsibility to ensure that the Premises, including without limitation, the Alterations (defined below), are in compliance with all applicable Laws throughout the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for compliance with any laws, codes, ordinances or other governmental directives where such compliance is not related to Tenant’s specific use and occupancy of the Premises. If any such alterations are performed or costs are incurred because of Tenant’s specific use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of the same. For example, if any governmental authority should require any portion of the Project or the Premises to be structurally strengthened against earthquake, or should require the removal of asbestos from the Premises and such measures are imposed as a general requirement applicable to all tenants rather than as a condition to Tenant’s specific use or occupancy of the Premises, such work shall be performed by and at the sole cost of Landlord. Tenant shall not initiate, submit an application for, or otherwise request, any land use approvals or entitlements with respect to the Premises or any other portion of the Project, including without limitation, any variance, conditional use permit or rezoning, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.

 

9.2 Prohibition on Use: Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises nor keep or bring anything therein which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any policy of fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy. No auctions may be held or otherwise conducted in, on or about any portion of the Premises or the Project without Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or other tenants or occupants of any portion of the Project. The Premises shall not be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any private or public nuisance in, on or about any portion of the Premises or the Project, including, but not limited to, any offensive odors, noises, fumes or vibrations. Tenant shall not damage or deface or otherwise commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, upon or about the Premises or any other portion of the Project. Tenant shall not place or store, nor permit any other person or entity to place or store, any property, equipment, materials, supplies, personal property or any other items or goods outside of the Premises for any period of time. Tenant shall not permit any animals, including, but not limited to, any household pets, to be brought or kept in or about the Premises. Tenant shall not install any radio or television antenna, satellite dish, microwave, loudspeaker or other device on the roof or exterior walls of the Building or any other portion of the Project without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided, however, Landlord may refuse permission, in Landlord’s sole discretion, for any penetrations of the roof or walls to the Project. Tenant shall not interfere with radio, telecommunication, or television broadcasting or reception from or in the Building or elsewhere. Tenant shall place no loads upon the floors, walls, or ceilings in excess of the maximum designed load permitted by the applicable Uniform Building Code or which may damage the Building or outside areas within the Project. Tenant shall not place any harmful liquids in the drainage systems or dump or store waste materials, refuse or other such materials, or allow such materials to remain outside the Building area, except for any non-hazardous or non-harmful materials which may be stored in refuse dumpsters.

10.1 Alterations: Tenant shall not install any signs, fixtures, Improvements, nor make or permit any other alterations or additions (individually, an “Alteration”, and collectively, the “Alterations”) to the Premises which Alterations exceed $25,000 per calendar year, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however Tenant shall make no Alterations which will affect the building systems or the structural integrity or structural components of the Premises or the Building. If any such Alteration is expressly permitted by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver at least ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord, from the date Tenant intends to commence construction, sufficient to enable Landlord to post a Notice of Non-Responsibility. In all events, Tenant shall obtain all permits or other governmental approvals prior to commencing any of such work and deliver a copy of same to Landlord. All Alterations shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with plans and specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be installed by a licensed, insured (and bonded, at Landlord’s option) contractor (reasonably approved by Landlord) in compliance with all applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, the ADA), Development Documents, Recorded Matters, and Rules and Regulations. In addition, all work with respect to any Alternations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner. Landlord’s approval of any plans, specifications or working drawings for Tenant’s Alterations shall not create nor impose any responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with any laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such a manner as not to obstruct access to the Project, or the Common Areas for any other tenant of the Project, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project, or interfere with the labor force working in the Project. As Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand, for actual reasonable legal, engineering, architectural, planning and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s Alterations. If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance, in an amount approved by Landlord and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant in accordance with Section 12 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property on which the Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall, prior to construction of any and all Alterations, cause its contractor(s) and/or major subcontractor(s) to provide insurance as reasonably required by Landlord, and Tenant shall provide such assurances to Landlord, including without limitation, waivers of lien, surety company performance bonds as Landlord shall require to assure payment of the costs thereof to protect Landlord and the Project from and against any loss from any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens.

 

10.2 Surrender of Premises: At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in at least as good of condition and repair as of the Commencement (damage by acts of God, casualty, and normal wear and tear excepted), but with all interior walls cleaned, any carpets cleaned, all floors cleaned and waxed, all non-working light bulbs and ballasts replaced and all roll-up doors and plumbing fixtures in good condition and working order, and (b) in accordance with the provisions of Section 27 hereof.

All Alterations except those which Landlord requires Tenant to remove shall remain in the Premises as the property of Landlord. If the Premises are not surrendered at the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 27 below, Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the payment of Rent (as the same may be increased pursuant to Section 20 below)

 

8.


until the Premises are so surrendered in accordance with said provisions. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnitees (hereafter defined) harmless from and against any and all damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any damages, expenses, costs, losses or liabilities arising from any claim against Landlord made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded on or resulting from such delay and losses and damages suffered by Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or prospective tenant, together with, in each case, actual attorneys’ fees and costs.

12.Insurance

 

12.1 Types of Insurance: Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect at all times during the Term of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the protection of Tenant and Landlord, as their interests may appear, policies of insurance issued by a carrier or carriers reasonably acceptable to Landlord and its lender (which afford the following coverages: (i) worker’s compensation and employer’s liability, as required by law; (ii) commercial general liability insurance (occurrence form) providing coverage against any and all claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring in, on or about the Premises arising out of Tenant’s and Tenant’s Representatives’ use or occupancy of the Premises. Such insurance shall include coverage for blanket contractual liability, fire damage, premises, personal injury, completed operations and products liability. Such insurance shall have a combined single limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence with a Three Million Dollar ($3,000,000) aggregate limit and excess/umbrella insurance in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). If Tenant has other locations which it owns or leases, the policy shall include an aggregate limit per location endorsement; (iii) comprehensive automobile liability insurance with a combined single limit of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence for claims arising out of any company owned automobiles; (iv) “all risk” or “special purpose” property insurance, including without limitation, sprinkler leakage, covering damage to or loss of any of Tenant’s Property and any Alterations located in, on or about the Premises, and in addition, coverage for earthquake, and business interruption of Tenant, together with, if the properly of any of Tenant’s invitees, vendors or customers is to be kept in the Premises, warehouse’s legal liability or bailee customers insurance for the full replacement cost of the property belonging to such parties and located in the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on a replacement at basis (without deduction for depreciation) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement value of the aggregate of the items referred to in this clause (iv); and (v) such other insurance or higher limits of liability as is then customarily required for similar types of buildings within the general vicinity of the Project or as may be reasonably required by any of Landlord’s lenders.

Best’s Rating Guides.” Any deductible amounts under any of the insurance policies required hereunder shall not exceed five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance and true and complete copies of any and all endorsements required herein for all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant shall, at least fifteen (15) days prior to expiration of each policy, furnish Landlord with certificates of renewal or “binders” thereof. Each certificate shall expressly provide that such policies shall not be cancelable or otherwise subject to material modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the parties named as additional insureds as required in this Lease (except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium, in which event cancellation shall not take effect until at least ten (10) days’ notice has been given to Landlord). Tenant shall have the right to provide insurance coverage which it is obligated to carry pursuant to the terms of this Lease under a blanket insurance policy, provided such blanket policy expressly affords coverage for the Premises and for Landlord as required by this Lease.

Additionally, all of such policies shall provide for severability of interest. All insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall, except for workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance, be primary, without right of contribution from insurance maintained by Landlord. Any umbrella/excess liability policy (which

 

10.


shall be in “following form”) shall provide that if the underlying aggregate is exhausted, the excess coverage will drop down as primary insurance. The limits of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. It is the parties’ intention that the insurance to be procured and maintained by Tenant as required herein shall provide coverage for any and all damage or injury arising from or related to Tenant’s operations of its business and/or Tenant’s or Tenant’s Representatives’ use of the Premises and any of the areas within the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Landlord’s cost of maintaining insurance with respect to the Building and/or any other buildings within the Project is increased as a result of Tenant’s acts, omissions, Alterations, improvements, use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of, and for, each such increase as Additional Rent.

 

12.4 Failure of Tenant to Purchase and Maintain Insurance: If Tenant fails to obtain and maintain the insurance required herein throughout the Term of this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, purchase the necessary insurance and pay the premiums therefor.

In addition, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, any and all losses, damages, expenses and costs which Landlord may sustain or incur by reason of Tenant’s failure to obtain and maintain such insurance.

 

12.5 Waiver of Subrogation: Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss of, or damage to, either parties’ property to the extent that such loss or damage is insured by an insurance policy required to be in effect at the time of such loss or damage. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by its insurer, whereby the insurer waives its rights of subrogation against the other party. This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of the parties hereto, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier.

 

13.Limitation of Liability and Indemnity

 

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

 

Except to the extent of damage resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of the Indemnitees shall at any time or to any extent whatsoever be liable, responsible or in any way accountable for any loss, liability, injury, death or damage to persons or property which at any time may be suffered or sustained by Tenant or by any person(s) whomsoever who may at any time be using, occupying or visiting the Premises or any other portion of the Project, including, but not limited to, any acts, errors or omissions of any other tenants or occupants of the Project. Tenant shall not, in any event or circumstance, be permitted to offset or otherwise credit against any payments of Rent required herein for matters for which Landlord may be liable hereunder. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any interference with light or air or for any latent defect in the Premises or the Building.

 

11.


14.Assignment and Subleasing

 

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

 

14.2 Request for Consent: If Tenant seeks to make a Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, and deliver to Landlord at least twenty (20) days (but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days) prior to the proposed commencement date of the Transfer (the “Proposed Effective Date”) the following information and documents (the “Tenant’s Notice”): (i) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”); (ii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer including without limitation, the Proposed Effective Date, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of the existing or proposed assignment, sublease or other agreement governing the proposed Transfer; (iii) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, member, partner or owner thereof, and any such other information as Landlord may then reasonably require, including without limitation, financial statements (audited if audited financial statement have been prepared) for the previous three (3) most recent consecutive fiscal years; (iv) the Plans and Specifications (defined below), if any; and (v) such other information as Landlord may then reasonably require.

Within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Tenant’s Notice (the “Landlord Response Period) Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of its determination with respect to such requested proposed Transfer and the election to recapture as set forth in Section 14.5 below. If Landlord does not elect to recapture pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.5 below and does not consent to the proposed Transfer, Landlord’s notice shall set forth in detail the reasons for such disapproval. If Landlord does consent to the requested proposed Transfer, Tenant may thereafter assign its interests in and to this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises to the same party and on the same terms as set forth in the Tenant’s Notice. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s Notice within Landlord’s Response Period, then, after Tenant delivers to Landlord twenty (20) days written notice (the “Second Response Period”) and Landlord fails to respond thereto prior to the end of the Second Response Period, the proposed Transfer shall then be deemed approved by Landlord.

 

14.3 Criteria for Consent: Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could reasonably withhold consent to a proposed Transfer, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (a) Tenant is or has been in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, (b) the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed Transferee is prohibited under this Lease or differs from the uses permitted under this Lease, (c) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with additional requirements of the ADA beyond those requirements which are applicable to Tenant, unless the proposed Transferee shall (1) first deliver plans and specifications for complying with such additional requirements (the “Plans and Specifications”) and obtain Landlord’s written consent thereto, and (2) comply with all Landlord’s conditions contained in such consent, (d) the proposed Transferee does not intend to occupy a substantial portion of the Premises assigned or sublet to it, (e) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the proposed Transferee’s business operating ability or history, reputation or creditworthiness or the character of the business to be conducted by the proposed Transferee at the Premises, (f) the proposed Transferee is a governmental agency or unit or an existing tenant in the Project, (g) the proposed Transfer would violate any “exclusive” rights of any occupants in the Project or cause Landlord to violate another agreement or obligation to which Landlord is a party or otherwise subject, (h) Landlord or Landlord’s agent has shown space in the Project to the proposed Transferee or responded to any inquiries from the proposed Transferee or the proposed Transferee’s agent concerning availability of space in the Project, at any time within’ the preceding four (4) months, (i) Landlord otherwise determines that the proposed Transfer would have the effect of decreasing the value of the Building or the Project, or increasing the expenses associated with operating, maintaining and repairing the Project, (j) either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee: (i) occupies space in the Building at the time of the request for consent, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the 12 month period immediately preceding the Tenant’s Notice, (k) the rent proposed to be charged by Tenant to the proposed Transferee during the term of such Transfer, calculated using a present value analysis, is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rent then being quoted by Landlord, at the proposed time of such Transfer, for comparable space in

 

12.


the Building or any other Building in the Project for a comparable term, calculated using a present value system, or (l) the proposed Transferee will use, store or handle Hazardous Materials (defined below) in or about the Premises of a type, nature or quantity not then acceptable to Landlord.

 

14.4 Effectiveness of Transfer and Continuing Obligations: Prior to the date on which any permitted Transfer becomes effective, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) a counterpart of the fully executed Transfer document, (ii) an executed Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “Transferee HazMat Certificate”), and (iii) Landlord’s standard form of Consent to Assignment or Consent to Sublease as may be modified by the parties executed by Tenant and the Transferee in which each of Tenant and the Transferee confirms its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Failure or refusal of a Transferee to execute any such consent instrument shall not release or discharge the Transferee from its obligation to do or from any liability as provided herein. Unless otherwise agreed in the Consent, the voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases. Each permitted Transferee shall assume and be deemed to assume this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for payment of Rent and for the due performance of, and compliance with all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or complied with, for the Term of this Lease. No Transfer shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and Tenant shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. An assignee of Tenant shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, but no Transfer by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligations or liability under this Lease whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment, subletting or other Transfer. The acceptance of any or all of the Rent by Landlord from any other person (whether or not such person is an occupant of the Premises) shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. For purposes hereof, if Tenant is a business entity, direct or indirect transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership interest of the entity (whether in a single transaction or in the aggregate through more than one transaction) shall be deemed a Transfer and shall be subject to all the provisions hereof, provided however, such clause shall not apply if Tenant is a publicly traded corporation at the time of such transfer. Any and all options, first rights of refusal, tenant improvement allowances and other similar rights granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, shall not be assignable by Tenant unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord. Except for any Permitted Transfer, any transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent, shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant of this Lease. As Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each time it requests a Transfer, a fee in the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) and, in addition, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for actual, reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed Transfer.

 

14.5 Recapture: If the Transfer (i) by itself or taken together with then existing or pending Transfers covers or totals, as the case may be, more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises, or (ii) is for a term which by itself or taken together with then existing or pending Transfers is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the period then remaining in the Term of this Lease as of the time of the Proposed Effective Date, then Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant, to recapture the Subject Space described in the Tenant’s Notice. If such recapture notice is given, it shall serve to terminate this Lease with respect to the proposed Subject Space, or, if the proposed Subject Space covers all the Premises, it shall serve to terminate the entire Term of this Lease, in either case, as of the Proposed Effective Date. However, no termination of this Lease with respect to part or all of the Premises shall become effective without the prior written consent, where necessary, of the holder of each deed of trust encumbering the Premises or any other portion of the Project. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted on the basis of the proportion of rentable square feet retained by Tenant to the rentable square feet originally demised and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect.

 

14.6 Affiliated Companies/Restructuring of Business Organization: The assignment or subletting by Tenant of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to (i) a parent or subsidiary of Tenant, or (ii) any person or entity which controls, is controlled by or under the common control with Tenant, or (iii) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iv) any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated (all such persons or entities described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being sometimes herein referred to as “Affiliates”) shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Section 14 (hence, the aforesaid events shall not be subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior consent; and

 

13.


Landlord shall not have any right to receive any Transfer Premium in connection therewith except for a transfer pursuant to Section 14.6(iii) (“Permitted Transfer”); provided in all instances that:

 

14.6.1 any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Section 14;

 

14.6.2 Tenant give Landlord prior notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate;

 

14.6.3 As to a transfer as referenced in Section 14.6(iii) above, the successor of Tenant has as of the effective date of any such assignment or sublease a tangible net worth and net assets, in the aggregate, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is sufficient to meet the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord;

 

14.6.4 any such assignment or sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and such assignee or sublessee (i.e., any such Affiliate), other than in the case of an Affiliate resulting from a merger or consolidation as described in Section 14.6(iv) above, shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and

 

14.6.5 Tenant and any guarantor shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, except in the case of an Affiliate resulting from the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant described in Section 14.6(iii) or from a merger or consolidation as described in Section 14.6(iv) above.

 

14.7 Transfer Premium: If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same time as the monthly installments of Rent are payable hereunder, seventy five percent (75%) of any Transfer Premium. The term ‘Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent and additional rent and any other consideration which is consideration for a Transfer hereunder payable by such Transferee which either initially or over the term of the Transfer exceeds the Rent or pro rata portion of the Rent, as the case may be, for such space reserved in the Lease, after first deducting Tenant’s customary and reasonable brokers’ fees, reasonable attorney’s fees and any tenant improvement costs (“Transfer Costs’) incurred in connection with such Transfer.

 

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

 

15.Subordination

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Lease, the rights of Tenant under this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest shall be subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building, the Lot, or any other portion of the Project, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now or hereafter exist for which the Building, the Lot, ground leases or underlying leases, any other portion of the Project or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of said Items is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or any such ground lessor, mortgagee, or any beneficiary shall have the right to require this Lease be superior to any such ground leases or underlying lease or any such liens, mortgage or deed of trust. If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, provided such successor in interest will not disturb Tenant’s use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises nor Tenant’s rights under this Lease if Tenant is not in material default of the terms and provisions of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. The successor in interest to Landlord following foreclosure, sale or deed in lieu thereof shall not be: (a) liable for any ad or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor; (c) bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month’s Rent, except in those instances when Tenant pays Rent quarterly in advance pursuant to Section 8 hereof, then not more than three months’ Rent; or (d) liable to Tenant for any Security Deposit not actually received by such successor in interest to the extent any portion or all of such Security Deposit has not already been forfeited by, or refunded to, Tenant. Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all or any portion of the Security Deposit

 

14.


not forfeited by, or refunded to Tenant, until and unless Landlord transfers such Security Deposit to the successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute (and acknowledge if required by Landlord, any lender or ground lessor) and deliver, within ten (10) calendar days of a demand or request by Landlord and in the form reasonably requested by Landlord, ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust.

 

16.Right of Entry

 

Subject to Tenant’s security measures and upon not less than 48 hours notice, Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable prior notice, for purposes of inspection, exhibition, posting of notices, investigation, replacements, repair, maintenance and alteration. It is further agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord deems necessary to enter the Premises in an emergency and in the case of emergency advance notice shall not be required. During the last nine (9) months of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to place “for rent” or “for lease” signs on the outside of the Premises, the Building and in the Common Areas. Landlord shall also have the right to place “for sale” signs on the outside of the Building and in the Common Areas. Tenant hereby waives any Claim from damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, or any other loss occasioned thereby except for any Claim for any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s business operations during any entry into the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative present during any entry by Landlord, except in the case of an emergency.

 

17.Estoppel Certificate

 

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

 

18.Tenant’s Default

 

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease:

 

18.1 The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or the vacation of the Premises by Tenant which would cause any insurance policy to be invalidated or otherwise lapse;

 

18.2 The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required hereunder within three (3) days after written notice that such payment is overdue;

 

18.3 The failure by Tenant to observe, perform or comply with any of the conditions, covenants or provisions of this Lease (except failure to make any payment of Rent and/or Additional Rent and any other payment required hereunder) and such failure is not cured within (i) thirty (30) days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant for all failures other than with respect to (a) Hazardous Materials (defined in Section 27 hereof), (b) Tenant making the repairs, maintenance and replacements required under the provisions of Section 11.1 hereof, or (c) the timely delivery by Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”), a counterpart of a fully executed Transfer document and a consent thereto (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”), an estoppel certificate and insurance certificates, (ii) ten (10) days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant for all failures in any way related to Hazardous Materials, and (iii) the time period, if any, specified in the applicable

 

15.


sections of this Lease with respect to subordination, assignment and sublease, estoppel certificates and insurance. However, Tenant shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if such failure (other than any failure of Tenant to timely and properly make the repairs, maintenance and replacements required by Section 11.1, timely deliver an SNDA, the Transfer Documents, an estoppel certificate or insurance certificates, for which no additional cure period shall be given to Tenant) cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) or ten (10) day period, as applicable, and Tenant promptly commences, and thereafter diligently proceeds with same to completion, all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as is reasonably possible, but in no event shall the completion of such cure be later than sixty (60) days after the date on which Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice of such failure, unless Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, otherwise expressly agrees in writing to a longer period of time based upon the circumstances relating to such failure as well as the nature of the failure and the nature of the actions necessary to cure such failure; or

 

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

 

18.5 The failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord, on or before March 1, 2004, the Letter of Credit in the form required by Addendum 1 to this Lease.

 

It is expressly agreed that any notice of Landlord required under this Article 18 may be in the form of notice pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, or any successor statute, providing the applicable number of days to cure as set forth above, and if Tenant fails to so cure no further such notice shall be required of Landlord to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.

 

19.Remedies for Tenant’s Default

 

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

 

19.2 Damages Recoverable: If Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Premises before the end of the Term, or if Tenant’s right to possession is terminated by Landlord because of a breach or default under this Lease, then in either such case, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, the unamortized portion of any broker’s or leasing

 

16.


agent’s commission incurred with respect to the leasing of the Premises to Tenant for the balance of the Term of the Lease remaining after the date on which Tenant is in default of its obligations hereunder, all Reletting Costs, and the worth at the time of the award (computed in accordance with paragraph (3) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code) of the amount by which the Rent then unpaid hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent for the same period which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided by Landlord and in sub case, Landlord prior to the award, may relet the Premises for the purpose of mitigating damages suffered by Landlord because of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that even though Tenant has abandoned the Premises following such breach, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right of possession, and until such termination, Landlord shall have the remedy described in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) and may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent from Tenant as it becomes due hereunder. The “worth at the time of the award” within the meaning of Subparagraphs (a)(l) and (a)(2) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179 (or any successor or substitute statute), or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

 

19.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative: The foregoing rights and remedies of Landlord are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity by statute or otherwise, or to any equitable remedies Landlord may have, and to any remedies Landlord may have under bankruptcy laws or laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. In addition to all remedies set forth above, if Tenant materially defaults under this Lease, all options granted to Tenant hereunder shall automatically terminate, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord.

 

20.Holding Over

 

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to the greater of (i) one hundred seventy five percent (175%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease or (ii) one hundred twenty five percent of the fair market rental value of the Premises as of the commencement of such holdover period. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 20 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all Claims resulting from such failure, including but not limited to, any Claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

 

21.Landlord’s Default

 

Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if Landlord fails to perform any obligation required under this Lease in a commercially reasonable time. For purposes hereof, a commercially reasonable time shall not be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice specifying the nature of the obligation Landlord has not performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days, after receipt of written notice, is reasonably necessary for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if performance of such obligation is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

 

17.


22.Parking

 

Tenant may use the number of non-designated and non-exclusive parking spaces specified in the Basic Lease Information. Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that such spaces are available to Tenant for its use, but Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenant’s right to use the same. In no event shall Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives park or permit any parking of vehicles overnight.

 

23.Transfer of Landlord’s Interest

 

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

 

24.Waiver

 

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

 

25.Casualty Damage

 

25.1 Casualty. If the Premises or any part [excluding any of Tenant’s Property and any Alterations installed by or for the benefit of Tenant (collectively, the “Tenant’s FF&E”)] shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give Immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by Landlord of such notice, landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, whether the necessary repairs can reasonably be made, as reasonably determined by Landlord: (a) within ninety (90) days; (b) in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days; or (c) in more than one hundred eighty (180) days, from the date of such notice.

 

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

 

25.1.2 Insured Damage Requiring More Than 90 Days To Repair. If the Premises (other than the Tenant’s FF&E) are damaged only to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration can be reasonably completed, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days, then Landlord shall have the option of: (a) terminating the Lease effective upon making the determination of the extent of such

 

18.


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

 

25.1.3 Major Insured Damage. If the Premises (other than the Tenant’s FF&E) are damaged to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration cannot be reasonably completed, as reasonably determined by Landlord, within one hundred eighty (180) days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by wing written notice within twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord regarding the time period of repair. If either party notifies the other of its intention to so terminate the Lease, then this Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be abated from the date of the occurrence of such damage, provided Tenant diligently proceeds to and expeditiously vacates the Premises (but, in all events Tenant must vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord by no later than ten (10) business days thereafter or there shall not be any abatement of Rent until Tenant so vacates the Premises). If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repairs to the Premises, provided insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord to fully repair the damage or Tenant voluntarily contributes any shortfall thereof to Landlord (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenant’s FF&E). During the time when Landlord is prosecuting such repairs to substantial completion, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date and to the extent Tenant actually vacates the affected portions of the Premises until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially but such abatement shall only be to the extent of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy and only during the time Tenant 1s not actually using same.

 

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

 

25.2 Deductible and Uninsured Casualty: If this Lease is not terminated, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the deductible amounts up to Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) under the insurance policies obtained by Landlord and Tenant under this Lease if the proceeds of which are used to repair the Premises as contemplated in this Section 25. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if other portions of the Building are also damaged by said casualty and insurance proceeds are payable therefor, then Tenant shall only pay its proportionate share of the deductible (such deductible not to exceed $25,000) as reasonably determined by Landlord. If any portion of the Premises is damaged by a cause not insured against or required to be insured against, and Tenant does not voluntarily contribute any shortfall thereof to Landlord, then Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to Tenant of any

 

19.


such event, whereupon all rights and obligations of Tenant shall cease and terminate hereunder, except for those obligations expressly provided for in this Lease to survive such termination of the Lease; provided, however, that (a) if Landlord elects to pay for the repairs not covered by insurance or (b) such uninsured damage is caused by the negligent or intentional acts of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, guests or invitees, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease.

 

25.3 Tenant’s Fault and Lender’s Rights: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Premises (other than Tenant’s FF&E) or any other portion of the Building be damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives, (i) the Rent shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage except to the extent covered by rent loss insurance, (ii) Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease due to the occurrence of such casualty or damage, and (iii) Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration of all or any portion of the Building caused thereby (including, without limitation, any deductible not to exceed $25,000.00) to the extent such cost and expense is not covered or is required to be covered by insurance proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the holder of any indebtedness secured by the Premises or any other portion of the Project requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to Tenant of any such event, whereupon all rights and obligations of Tenant shall cease and terminate hereunder, except for those obligations expressly provided for in this Lease to survive such termination of the Lease.

 

25.4 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, injury to the business of Tenant, loss of use of any part of the Premises by Tenant or loss of Tenant’s Property, resulting in any way from such damage, destruction or the repair thereof, except that, Landlord shall allow Tenant an abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are actually unusable and unfit for occupancy and Tenant is not using or otherwise occupying same as specifically provided above in this Section 25. With respect to any damage or destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair, Tenant hereby waives all rights to terminate this Lease or offset any amounts against Rent pursuant to rights accorded Tenant by any law currently existing or hereafter enacted, including but not limited to, all rights pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1932(2.), 1933(4.), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

 

26.Condemnation

 

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

 

27.Environmental Matter/Hazardous Materials

 

27.1 Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate: Prior to executing this Lease, Tenant has delivered to Landlord Tenant’s executed Tenant Move-In and Lease Renewal Questionnaire (Haz Mat Questionnaire); a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E. Tenant covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord that the information in the Haz

 

20.


Mat Questionnaire is true and correct and accurately describes the use(s) of Hazardous Materials which will be made and/or used on the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord hereby approves such use. Tenant shall, commencing with the date which is one year from the Commencement Date and continuing every year thereafter, deliver to Landlord, a new, executed Haz Mat Questionnaire describing Tenant’s then present use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, and any other reasonably necessary documents as requested by Landlord. The HazMat Questionnaires required hereunder shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

 

27.2 Definition of Hazardous Materials: As used in this Lease, the term Hazardous Materials shall mean and include (a) any hazardous or toxic wastes, materials or substances, and other pollutants or contaminants, which are or become regulated by any Environmental Laws; (b) petroleum, petroleum by products, gasoline, diesel fuel, crude oil or any fraction thereof; (c) asbestos and asbestos containing material, in any form, whether friable or non-friable; (d) polychlorinated biphenyls; (e) radioactive materials; (f) lead and lead-containing materials; (g) any other material, waste or substance displaying toxic, reactive, ignitable or corrosive characteristics, as all such terms are used in their broadest sense, and are defined or become defined by any Environmental Law (defined below); or (h) any materials which cause or threatens to cause a nuisance upon or waste to any portion of the Project or any surrounding property; or poses or threatens to pose a hazard to the health and safety of persons on the Premises, any other portion of the Project or any surrounding property. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall not include nominal amounts of ordinary household cleaners, office supplies and janitorial supplies which are not actionable under any Environmental Laws.

 

27.3 Prohibition; Environmental Laws: Tenant shall not be entitled to use or store any Hazardous Materials on, in, or about any portion of the Premises and the Project without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, consents to any such usage or storage, then Tenant shall be permitted to use and/or store only those Hazardous Materials that are necessary for Tenant’s business and to the extent disclosed in the HazMat Certificate and as expressly approved by Landlord in writing. Any such usage and storage may only be to the extent of the quantities of Hazardous Materials as specified in the then applicable HazMat Certificate as expressly approved by Landlord. In all events such usage and storage must at all times be in full compliance with any and all local, state and federal environmental, health and/or safety-related laws, statutes, orders, standards, courts’ decisions, ordinances, rules and regulations (as interpreted by judicial and administrative decisions), decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions, currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which are or become applicable to Tenant or all or any portion of the Premises (collectively, the “Environmental Laws”). Tenant agrees that any changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the most recent HazMat Certificate may be implemented only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall not be entitled nor permitted to install any tanks under, on or about the Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials without the express written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord shall have the right at all times during the Term of this Lease to (i) inspect the Premises, (ii) conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 27 or to determine if Hazardous Materials are present in, on or about the Project, and (iii) request lists of all Hazardous Materials used, stored or otherwise located on, under or about any portion of the Premises and/or the Common Areas. The cost of all such inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne by Tenant, if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives are directly or indirectly responsible in any manner for any contamination revealed by such inspections, tests and investigations. rile aforementioned rights granted herein to Landlord and its representatives shall not create (a) a duty on Landlord’s part to inspect, test, investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives with respect to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, Tenant’s operation, use and any remediation related thereto, or (b) liability on the part of Landlord and its representatives for Tenant’s use, storage, disposal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.

 

27.4 Tenant’s Environmental Obligations: Tenant shall give to Landlord immediate verbal and follow-up written notice of any spills, releases, discharges, disposals. emissions, migrations, removals or transportation of hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion of the Premises or in any Common Areas; provided that Tenant has actual, implied or constructive knowledge of such event(s). Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, covenants and warrants to promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore and otherwise remediate (including, without limitation, preparation of any feasibility studies or reports and the performance of any and all closures) any spill, release, discharge, disposal, emission, migration or transportation of Hazardous Materials arising from or related to the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives such that the affected portions of the Project and any adjacent property

 

21.


are returned to the condition existing prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials. Any such investigation, dean up, removal, restoration and other remediation shall only be performed after Tenant has obtained Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on any portion of the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to respond immediately to an emergency without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall conduct and perform, or cause to be conducted and performed, all closures as required by any Environmental Laws or any agencies or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof. If Tenant fails to promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore, provide closure or otherwise so remediate, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, take any and all Reps necessary to rectify the same and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for all costs and expenses to Landlord of performing investigation, clean up, removal, restoration, closure and remediation work. All such work undertaken by Tenant, as required herein, shall be performed in such a manner so as to enable Landlord to make full economic use of the Premises and the other portions of the Project after the satisfactory completion of such work.

 

27.5 Environmental Indemnity: In addition to Tenant’s obligations as set forth hereinabove, Tenant agrees to, and shall, protect, indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and the other lndemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims (including, without limitation, diminution in value of any portion of the Premises or the Project, damages for the loss of or restriction on the use of rentable or useable space, and from any adverse impact of Landlord’s marketing of any space within the Project) arising at any time during or after the Term of this Lease in connection with or related to, directly or indirectly, the use, presence, transportation, storage, disposal, migration, removal, spill, release or discharge of Hazardous Materials on, in or about any portion of the Project as a result (directly or indirectly) of the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives. Neither the written consent of Landlord to the presence, use or storage of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about any portion of the Project nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws shall excuse Tenant from its obligations of indemnification pursuant hereto. Tenant shall not be relieved of its indemnification obligations under the provisions of this Section 27.5 due to Landlord’s status as either an “owner” or “operator” under any Environmental Laws.

 

27.6 Survival: Tenant’s obligations and liabilities pursuant to the provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If it is determined by Landlord that the condition of all or any portion of the Project is not in compliance with the provisions of this Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, all Environmental Laws at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Landlord may require Tenant to hold over possession of the Premises until Tenant can surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition in which the Premises existed as of the Commencement Date and prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials except for reasonable wear and tear, including without limitation, the conduct or performance of any closures as required by any Environmental Laws. The burden of proof hereunder shall be upon Tenant. For purposes hereof, the term “reasonable wear and tear” shall not include any deterioration in the condition or diminution of the value of any portion of the Project in any manner whatsoever related to directly, or indirectly, Hazardous Materials. Any such holdover by Tenant will be with Landlord’s consent, will not be terminable by Tenant in any event or circumstance and will otherwise be subject to the provisions of Section 20 of this Lease.

 

27.7 Disclosure: The land described herein contains residual hazardous substances. Such condition renders the land and the Owner, Tenant or other possessor of the land subject to requirements, restrictions, provisions, and liabilities contained in Chapter 6.5 and Chapter 6.8 of Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code, as same may be amended from time, and any successor statutes thereof. This statement is not a declaration that a hazard to public health, safety and welfare exists. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible or liable for any claims, penalties, remediation, fines, costs or expenses to the extent directly resulting from the contamination of the Premises, the Building or the Park with Hazardous Materials to the extent such environmental contamination pre-exists as of the date of the Lease.

If audited financial statements have not been prepared,

 

22.


Tenant and any permitted Transferee shall provide Landlord with unaudited financial statements and such other information, the type and form of which are acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, which reflects the financial condition of Tenant and any permitted Transferee.

In connection with such Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessity structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the Common Areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility, or for any reason be liable to Tenant, for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s Property, Alterations or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations.

Further, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises is materially interfered with for more than ten (10) consecutive business days as a result of any Renovations, Tenant shall have the right to an abatement of Rent due hereunder during the time and to the extent the Premises are actually unusable and Tenant is not using or otherwise occupying the same.

 

29.13 Waiver of Jury Trial: The parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Park, and/or any claim of injury, loss or damage.

Tenant shall remove all such signs and graphics prior to the expiration

 

24.


or earlier termination of this Lease. Such installations and removals shall be made in a manner as to avoid damage or defacement of the Premises. Tenant shall repair any damage or defacement, including without limitation, discoloration caused by such installation or removal. Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to deduct from the Security Deposit such sums as are reasonably necessary to remove such signs and make any repairs necessitated by such removal.

Tenant further agrees to maintain each such sign and graphics, as may be approved, in good condition and repair at all times.

 

31.Mortgagee Protection

 

Upon any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give written Notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Premises who has provided Tenant with notice of their interest together with an address for receiving Notice, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure. If such default cannot be cured within such time period, then such additional time as may be necessary will be given to such beneficiary or mortgagee to effect such cure so long as such beneficiary or mortgagee has commenced the cure within the original time period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion, in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such cure is being diligently pursued. Tenant agrees that each lender to whom this Lease has been assigned by Landlord is an express third party beneficiary hereof. Tenant shall not make any prepayment of Rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of each such lender, except if Tenant is required to make quarterly payments of Rent in advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 above. Tenant waives the collection of any deposit from such lender(s) or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale of such lender(s)’ deed of trust unless the lender(s) or such purchaser shall have actually received and not refunded the deposit. Tenant agrees to make all payments under this Lease to the lender with the most senior encumbrance upon receiving a direction, in writing, to pay said amounts to such lender. Tenant shall comply with such written direction to pay without determining whether an event of default exists under such lender’s loan to Landlord. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Premises or any other portion of the Project, Landlord’s lender shall request reasonable modification(s) to this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided such modifications do not in any manner increase Tenant’s monetary obligations hereunder or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder or the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of Tenant hereunder.

 

32.Warranties of Tenant

 

Tenant hereby warrants and represents to Landlord, for the express benefit of Landlord that in entering into this Lease, Tenant has not relied upon any statement, fact, promise or representation (whether express or implied, written or oral) not specifically set forth herein in writing and that any statement, fact, promise or representation (whether express or implied, written or oral) made at any time to Tenant, which is not expressly incorporated herein in writing, is hereby waived by Tenant.

 

33.Brokerage Commission

 

Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants for the benefit of the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with the Premises and/or the negotiation of this Lease, except for the Broker(s) specified in the Basic Lease Information, and that it knows of no other real estate broker, agent or finder who is or might be entitled to a real estate brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this Lease or otherwise based upon contacts between the claimant and Tenant. Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all liabilities or expenses arising out of claims made for a fee or commission by any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with the Premises and this Lease other than Broker(s), if any, resulting from the actions of the indemnifying party. Unless expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord and Broker(s), no real estate brokerage commission or finder’s fee shall be owed to, or otherwise payable to, the Broker(s) for any renewals or other extensions of the initial Term of this Lease or for any additional space leased by Tenant other than the Premises as same exists as of the Lease Date. Tenant further represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant will not receive (i) any portion of any brokerage commission or finder’s fee payable to the Broker(s) in connection with this Lease or (ii) any other form of compensation or incentive from the Broker(s) with respect to this Lease.

 

25.


34.Quiet Enjoyment

 

Landlord covenants with Tenant, upon the paying of Rent and observing and keeping the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept, and during the periods that Tenant is not otherwise in default of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease, and subject to the rights of any of Landlord’s lenders, (i) that Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises and the Common Areas during the Term of this Lease, and (ii) neither Landlord, nor any successor or assign of Landlord, shall disturb Tenant’s occupancy or enjoyment of the Premises and the Common Areas.

1. No later than March 1, 2004, in accordance with the provisions of this Addendum 1, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as collateral for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”), in the form of Exhibit 3 attached hereto and made a part hereof, running in favor of Landlord issued by Bank of America, or any other solvent nationally recognized bank or financial institution with a long term rating of BBB or higher, as rated by Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s, and under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a National Banking Association, and with a branch office in which the letter of credit may be drawn in San Francisco, California, in the amount of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand and no Dollars ($115,000.00) (the “LC Amount”). The Letter of Credit shall be (i) at sight and irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) subject to the terms of this Addendum 1 and Article 4, maintained in effect, whether through replacement, renewal or extension, for the period from the Commencement Date of the Lease and continuing until the date which is sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date of the Lease (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) and Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) subject to the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, (iv) fully assignable by Landlord and permit partial draws. In addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the Letter of Credit (and the bank issuing the same) shall be acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion if the form and content differs from that of Exhibit 3, and shall provide, among other things, in effect that: (A) Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon the presentation to the issuing bank of Landlord’s (or Landlord’s then managing agent’s) statement that such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, it being understood that if Landlord or its managing agent be a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or other entity, then such statement shall be signed by a managing member (if a limited liability company) an officer (if a corporation), a general partner (if a partnership), or any authorized party (if another entity); (B) the Letter of Credit will be honored by the issuing bank without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether the Tenant disputes the content of such statement; and (C) in the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part (or cause a substitute letter of credit to be delivered, as applicable), to the transferee and thereupon the Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord. If Tenant is in full compliance with the Lease, including, without limitation, this Addendum 1 on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and Landlord is not otherwise entitled to draw down on the Letter of Credit, Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant.

 

2. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any default on the part of Tenant hereunder which continues beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that if Landlord cannot draw upon the Letter of Credit within the times and in the manner as anticipated by Landlord herein, Landlord shall suffer irreparable damage, harm and injury. From time to time during the Term of this Lease it is anticipated by the parties that the Letter of Credit will need to be amended, modified and, possibly reissued. Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree to cooperate with one another to promptly effectuate any such amendments, modifications and new issuances, including without limitation, executing and submitting to the Issuer any and all documents or instruments as may be reasonably required to effectuate same. Each and every time during the Term of this Lease there is a change in the identity or address of the parties, including without limitation, any change in the identity of Landlord due to the sale, transfer or other conveyance by Landlord of its rights and interests in, to and under this Lease to any other party, person or entity, the Letter of Credit shall immediately be amended or reissued to reflect such changes and the parties hereby agree to execute and submit to the issuer such further applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate same. It is the intention of the parties that each and every successor and assign of both Landlord and Tenant be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions of this Addendum 1 and Article 4. Landlord may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, assign all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such assignment is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease.

 

3. If, as a result of any such application or use of all or any part of the Letter of Credit the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the LC Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) calendar days thereafter, provide Landlord with cash or additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of credit in the total amount of

 

Addendum 1, Page 1


the LC Amount) and any such additional (or replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Addendum 1, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 18 hereof, the same shall constitute an incurable default by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, If the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal letter of credit or substitute letter of credit (such renewal or substitute letter of credit to be in effect not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed or a substitute letter of credit is not timely received, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Addendum 1 and Article 4, landlord shall have the right to present such Letter of Credit to the bank in accordance with the terms of this Addendum 1, and the entire sum evidenced thereby shall be paid to and held by Landlord as collateral for performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease.

 

4. If there shall occur a default under this Lease as set forth in Section 18 of this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which may be sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s default. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw from the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner, provided Landlord has completed with the terms of the Letter of Credit.

 

5. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor be (x) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), (y) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), or (z) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time). The parties hereto (a) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (b) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
