THIS LEASE is made as of the Lease Date set forth in the Basic Lease
Information, by and between the Landlord identified in the Basic Lease
Information ("Landlord"), and the Tenant identified in the Basic Lease
Information ("Tenant"). Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord the office space identified in the Basic Lease Information as the
Premises (the "Premises"), consisting of the two (2) Buildings identified as
Building 100 ("Building 100") and ("Building 200") to be constructed by Landlord
at the addresses specified in the Basic Lease Information (each, a "Building").
The approximate configuration and location of Building 100 is shown on Exhibit
A-1. The approximate configuration and location of Building 200 is shown on
Exhibit A-2. As more particularly described in Section 2.1 of Exhibit B to this
Lease, Landlord shall have the square feet of rentable area of the Buildings
established by the Building Architect upon completion of the Final Working
Drawings (as such terms are defined in Exhibit B) based upon BOMA, American
National Standard Z.651-1996; provided, however, if the rentable area of the
Premises is greater than 160,944 square feet, Tenant shall not be obligated to
pay Base Rent, Operating Costs and Taxes (as hereinafter defined) on that
portion of the Premises greater than 160,944 rentable square feet. Each
Building, together with the parking facilities serving such Building (the
"Parking Facility"), and the parcel(s) of land on which such Building and the
Parking Facility are situated and all appurtenant easements, private roads,
sidewalks, driveways, loading areas and other improvements located thereon
(collectively, the "Property"), are part of the Project identified in the Basic
Lease Information (the "Project"). [The Project consists of Lot 1 and the parcel
designated Cardinal Way, as shown on that map entitled "SEAPORT PLAZA
SUBDIVISION MAP", filed in the office of the County Recorder of San Mateo
County, State of California, on November 17, 1998 in Book 129 of Maps at page(s)
10 and 11.] Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has not
recorded any covenants, conditions and restrictions against the Project.
2. TERM.
2.1 Term. The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the
Commencement Date as described below and, unless sooner terminated, shall expire
on the Expiration Date set forth in the Basic Lease Information (the "Expiration
Date"). The "Commencement Date" shall be the date Landlord delivers to Tenant a
fully executed original copy of this Lease after Landlord and Tenant have fully
executed this Lease (the "Executed Lease Delivery Date").
2.2 Rent Commencement Date. The "Rent Commencement Date" (which term
shall be used, as applicable, for (a) both Buildings if the Rent Commencement
Date is simultaneous, or (b) each Building, if the Rent Commencement Date is
different for each Building) shall be the earlier of (a) December 1, 2000
(subject to day for day extension for each day of (i) "Landlord Delay " as such
term is defined in the Construction Rider attached as Exhibit B (the
"Construction Rider"), and (ii) force majeure delay); or (b) with respect to
either Building, the date upon which Tenant, with Landlord's written permission,
actually occupies and conducts business in any portion of such Building (it
being agreed by the parties that each Building may have a separate Rent
Commencement Date). Landlord shall not be liable for any claims, damages or
liabilities if the Premises are not ready for occupancy by the Rent Commencement
Date. When the Rent Commencement Date has been established (whether for each
Building if there are separate Rent Commencement Dates, or both Buildings),
Landlord and Tenant shall at the request of either party confirm the Rent
Commencement Date and Expiration Date in writing.
2.3 Tenant's Termination Rights Relating to Construction.
(a) Landlord's Failure to Commence Base Building Work. If
Landlord does not receive the foundation permit and start driving indicator
piles as the first step in construction of the of the Base Building Work (as
defined in the Construction Rider) within one hundred eighty (180) days
following the Executed Lease Delivery Date, then Tenant's sole remedy shall be
the right to deliver a notice to Landlord ("Failure to Commence Termination
Notice ") electing to terminate this Lease effective on Landlord's receipt of
such notice. Such Failure to Commence Termination Notice must be delivered by
Tenant, if at all, no earlier than the expiration of such one hundred eighty
(180) day period and no later than twenty (20) days following the end of such
one hundred eighty (180) day period.
-4-
<PAGE>
(b) Cessation of Construction. If construction of the Base
Building Work ceases for more than one hundred fifty (150) consecutive days,
then Tenant may deliver a notice to Landlord ("Cessation of Construction
Termination Notice") electing to terminate this Lease effective on Landlord's
receipt of such notice; provided, however, that such one hundred fifty (150)
consecutive day period shall be extended day-for-day for each day of Tenant
Delay and force majeure delays. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to
the contrary, for the purposes of this Section 2.3 (b) "force majeure" delays
shall not include delays caused by the investigation, removal or remediation of
any (known or unknown) Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) located on
the Property. Such Cessation of Construction Termination Notice must be
delivered to Landlord by Tenant, if at all, no earlier than the expiration of
such one hundred fifty (150) day period (as such one hundred fifty (150) day
period may be extended by Tenant Delay or by such force majeure delays as are
not associated with Hazardous Materials) and no later than twenty (20) days
following the end of such one hundred fifty (150) day period.
(c) Landlord's Failure to Complete Construction of Base
Building Work. For purposes of this Section 2, the "Outside Date" shall be June

the Outside Date shall not be extended by reason of Landlord Delay or force
majeure delays. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, if
Landlord does not complete construction of the Base Building Work by the Outside
Date, Tenant's sole remedy shall be the right to deliver a notice to Landlord
("Outside Date Termination Notice ") electing to terminate this Lease effective

(ii) the Letters of Credit issued in favor of Landlord in connection with this
Lease.
3. RENT.
3.1 Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Base Rent set forth
in the Basic Lease Information, without prior notice or demand, on the first day
of each and every calendar month commencing on the Rent Commencement Date for
each Building (if the two Buildings have separate Rent Commencement Dates) and
continuing during the Term, except that Base Rent for the first full calendar
month in which Base Rent is payable shall be paid upon Tenant's execution of
this Lease and Base Rent for any partial month at the following the Rent
Commencement Date shall be paid on the Rent Commencement Date. Base Rent for any
partial month following the Rent Commencement Date or at the end of the Term
shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in the month.
If the Basic Lease Information provides for any change in Base Rent by
reference to years or months (without specifying particular dates), the change
will take effect on the applicable annual or monthly anniversary of the Rent
Commencement Date (which won't necessarily be the first day of a calendar
month).

Taxes shall not include any state and federal personal or corporate income taxes

the receipt of rent) or transfer tax. Taxes shall not any include penalty or
interest for Landlord's failure to pay taxes when due, other than those
attributable to Tenant's failure to comply timely with Tenant's obligations
under this Lease. Landlord agrees that for the purpose of this Lease any special
assessments or special taxes for public improvements to the property will be
amortized, with interest at the rate payable to the assessing or taxing
authority, over the maximum time Landlord is permitted to pay such special
assessment or special tax without penalty. To the
-7-
<PAGE>
extent paid by Tenant or other tenants as "Tenant's Taxes" (as defined in
Section 8 - Tenant's Taxes), "Tenant's Taxes" shall be excluded from Taxes.
(3) "Tenant's Share" means the Rentable Area of the Premises
divided by the total Rentable Area of the Project, as set forth in the Basic
Lease Information. If the Rentable Area of the Project is changed or the
Rentable Area of the Premises is changed by Tenant's leasing less than all of
the Premises or for any other reason, Tenant's Share shall be adjusted
accordingly.
(b) Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord as "Additional Rent" for
each calendar year or portion thereof following the Rent Commencement Date for
each Building, if the two Buildings have separate Rent Commencement Dates (in
which event Tenant's Share of Additional Rent shall be 50% for the time period
between the Rent Commencement Date for the first Building and the Rent
Commencement Date for the second Building), Tenant's Share of the sum of (x) the
amount of Operating Costs, and (y) the amount of Taxes, as follows:
(1) Operating Costs.
(a) Prior to the Rent Commencement Date Landlord shall notify
Tenant of Landlord's estimate of Operating Costs and for the partial calendar
year following the Rent Commencement Date; and prior to each calendar year
thereafter, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's estimate of Operating
Costs for the following calendar year. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date,
and with respect to subsequent calendar years, on the first day of January of
each calendar year and continuing on the first day of every month thereafter in
such year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated
annual Operating Costs. If Landlord thereafter estimates that Operating Costs
for such year will vary from Landlord's prior estimate, Landlord may, by notice
to Tenant, revise the estimate for such year (and Operating Costs shall
thereafter be payable based on the revised estimate).
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each
calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement with respect to such
year, showing Operating Costs for the year, and the total payments made by
Tenant with respect thereto. Unless Tenant raises any objections to Landlord's
statement within ninety (90) days after receipt of the same, such statement
shall conclusively be deemed correct and Tenant shall have no right thereafter
to dispute such statement or any item therein or the computation of Operating
Costs based thereon. If Tenant does object to such statement, then Landlord
shall provide Tenant with reasonable verification of the figures shown on the
statement and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes.
Any objection of Tenant to Landlord's statement and resolution of any dispute
shall not postpone the time for payment of any amounts due Tenant or Landlord
based on Landlord's statement, nor shall any failure of Landlord to deliver
Landlord's statement in a timely manner relieve Tenant of Tenant's obligation to
pay any amounts due Landlord based on Landlord's statement.
(c) If Tenant's Operating Costs as finally determined for any
calendar year exceeds the total payments made by Tenant on account thereof,
Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within twenty (20) days of Tenant's
receipt of Landlord's statement. If the total payments made by Tenant on account
thereof exceed Tenant's Operating Costs as finally determined for such year,
Tenant's excess payment shall be credited toward the rent next due from Tenant
under this Lease. For any partial calendar year following the Rent Commencement
Date or at the end of the Term, Operating Costs shall be prorated on the basis
of a 365-day year by computing Tenant's Share of Operating Costs for the entire
year and then prorating such amount for the number of days during such year
included in the Term. Notwithstanding the termination of this Lease, Landlord
shall pay to Tenant or Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as the case may be, within
twenty (20) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's final statement for the
calendar year in which this Lease terminates, the difference between Tenant's
Operating Costs for that year, as finally determined by Landlord, and the total
amount previously paid by Tenant on account thereof. The obligations of Landlord
to refund any overpayment of Operating Costs and of Tenant to pay any Operating
Costs not previously paid shall survive the expiration of the Term.
(2) Taxes.
(a) Tenant shall be responsible to pay to Landlord Tenant's
Share of all Taxes accruing from the Rent Commencement Date, and continuing
through the Term (including any Extension Term). For any partial calendar year
following the Rent Commencement Date or ending at the end of the Term, Taxes
shall
-8-
<PAGE>
be prorated on the basis of a 365-day year by computing Tenant's Share of Taxes
for the entire year and then prorating such amount for the number of days during
such year following the Rent Commencement Date or at the end of the Term. At
such time as Landlord learns the amount of Taxes due for any calendar year for
which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord as provided above in this subsection,
Landlord shall promptly give written notice to Tenant of all Taxes due. Tenant
shall pay such Taxes to Landlord no later than the date which is the later of
(i) thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of notice of the amount of such
Taxes, or (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the date Taxes become delinquent. Tenant
shall also pay to Landlord on demand all interest, penalties and late charges
with respect to Taxes resulting from Tenant's failure to pay Taxes to Landlord
within the time specified in the immediately preceding sentence. If for any
reason Taxes for any calendar year during the Term following the Rent
Commencement Date are refunded, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the
amount of refund of Taxes which were paid by Tenant to Landlord. The obligations
of Landlord to refund any overpayment of Taxes and of Tenant to pay any Taxes
not previously paid shall survive the expiration of the Term.
(b) Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any material
change in any Tax assessment or reassessment of the Project within sufficient
time to allow Tenant to review such assessment or reassessment; and Tenant shall
have the right, at Tenant's cost and expense, to cause Landlord, by appropriate
proceedings, to protest or contest any such assessment or reassessment of the
Project used as the basis of determining Taxes. Landlord shall cooperate in good
faith with Tenant in connection with any such protest or contest. Landlord shall
promptly refund to Tenant any reimbursements or refunds of Taxes obtained by
Landlord as a result of any such protest or contest.
3.3 Payment of Rent. All amounts payable or reimbursable by Tenant
under this Lease, including late charges and interest (collectively, "Rent"),
shall constitute rent and shall be payable and recoverable as rent in the manner
provided in this Lease. All sums payable to Landlord on demand under the terms
of this Lease shall be payable within thirty (30) days after notice from
Landlord of the amounts due. All rent shall be paid without offset, recoupment
or deduction in lawful money of the United States of America to Landlord at
Landlord's Address for Payment of Rent as set forth in the Basic Lease
Information, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from
time to time designate.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT. On execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord the letters of credit identified in Sections 37 and 38 below as the
Security Deposit (collectively, the "Security Deposit", which term shall include
the $408,000 portion of the cash deposit as described in Section 37 (b) below
and all amounts drawn on either of both letters of credit), as security for the
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord may (but shall
have no obligation to) use the Security Deposit or any portion thereof to cure
any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, or to compensate Landlord for
any damage it incurs as a result of Tenant's failure to perform any of Tenant's
obligations hereunder. Subject to Tenant's obligation to replenish, if
necessary, the cash portion of the Security Deposit, Landlord shall first look
to the cash portion of the Security Deposit before calling on the letters of
credit. In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand an amount in the
form of cash, or a replacement letter of credit, sufficient to replenish the
Security Deposit to the full amount of the cash specified in the Basic Lease
Information and the applicable Face Amounts (defined in Sections 37 and 38
below) of the letters of credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provision of this Lease, Landlord agrees that it will only draw on L/C #2 (as
defined in Section 38 below) the amount necessary to fulfill or perform the
following Tenant obligations after first applying any cash portion of the
Security Deposit towards such obligations: to pay any rent, insurance premiums,
insurance deductibles or Taxes, to compensate Landlord for any damage it incurs
as a result of Tenant's failure to perform any of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease, to replenish the $408,000 cash deposit portion of the Security
Deposit, and if Tenant does not renew or replace L/C #2 as provided in Section
38, Landlord may draw the entire amount of L/C #2. Within thirty (30) days after
the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall promptly return the
Security Deposit to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of California Civil
Code Section 1950.7 or any successor statute thereto; provided, however, that if
Tenant is then in default or there is an outstanding Claim (as defined in
Section 10.1 below) for which Landlord has made written demand upon Tenant, then
Landlord shall be entitled to withhold one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of
Landlord's reasonable estimate of the amount that Tenant owes Landlord on
account of such default or Claim until there is settlement, resolved litigation,
or other disposition determining the validity of the right of Landlord to
withhold such amount. Landlord may commingle any cash portion of the Security
Deposit with Landlord's general and other funds. Landlord shall not be required
to pay interest on the Security Deposit to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord has agreed to accept letters of credit in lieu of an additional cash
deposit as an accommodation to Tenant and Tenant agrees that the
-9-
<PAGE>
letters of credit and all amounts drawn thereunder shall be treated for all
purposes under this Lease as if a cash deposit had been tendered to Landlord
upon the execution of this Lease.
5. USE AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
5.1 Use. The Premises may be used and occupied only for general
business office, sales, administrative, software engineering, and software
research and development purposes and for no other use or purpose without
Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In
addition to other reasons Landlord may have to withhold consent to a change in
use of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord may withhold consent if the proposed use
is either not compatible with the use as an office building or violates another
provision of this Lease. Tenant shall comply with all present and future Laws
relating to Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises (and make any repairs,
alterations or improvements as required to comply with all such Laws), and shall
observe the "Building Rules" (as defined in Section 27 - Rules and Regulations),
except that repairs or alterations required to comply with Laws generally
applicable to the condition of the Premises for use as office space, and not
required or caused by Tenant's particular use or activities or by any
Alterations made or proposed by Tenant, shall be made by Landlord (and the cost
thereof, if such cost is not subject to any of the exclusions to Operating
Costs, shall be included in Operating Costs either as an expense or as a capital
item to be amortized pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(a)(1)(G) above).
Tenant shall not do, bring, keep or sell anything in or about the Premises that
is prohibited by, or that will cause a cancellation of, or an increase in the
existing premium (unless within fifteen days after Landlord gives Tenant written
notice of such increase in premium, Tenant agrees in writing to pay for such
increase) for, any insurance policy covering the Project or any part thereof.
Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be occupied or used in any manner that
will constitute waste or a nuisance. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent
of Landlord, bring into the Building or the Premises anything that may cause
substantial noise, odor or vibration, overload the floors in the Building or any
of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning ("HVAC"), mechanical, elevator,
plumbing, electrical, fire protection, life safety, security or other systems in
the Building ("Building Systems"), or jeopardize the structural integrity of the
Building or any part thereof.
5.2. Hazardous Materials.
(a) Definitions.
(1) "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any substance:
(A) that now or in the future is regulated or governed by, requires
investigation or remediation under, or is defined as a hazardous waste,
hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant under any governmental statute,
code, ordinance, regulation, rule or order, and any amendment thereto, including
the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, 42
U.S.C.ss.9601 et seq., and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C.ss.6901 et seq., or (B) that is toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable,
radioactive, carcinogenic, dangerous or otherwise hazardous, including gasoline,
diesel fuel, petroleum hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos,
radon and urea formaldehyde foam insulation.
(2) "Environmental Requirements" shall mean all
present and future Laws, orders, permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations
and other requirements of any kind applicable to Hazardous Materials.
(3) "Handled by Tenant" and "Handling by Tenant"
shall mean and refer to any installation, handling, generation, storage, use,
disposal, discharge, release, abatement, removal, transportation, or any other
activity of any type by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees,
assignees, sublessees, transferees or representatives (collectively,
"Representatives") or its guests, customers, invitees, or visitors
(collectively, "Visitors"), at or about the Premises in connection with or
involving Hazardous Materials.
(4) "Environmental Losses" shall mean all costs and
expenses of any kind, damages, including foreseeable and unforeseeable
consequential damages, fines and penalties incurred in connection with any
violation of and compliance with Environmental Requirements and all losses of
any kind attributable to the diminution of value, loss of use or adverse effects
on marketability or use of any portion of the Premises or Project.
(b) Tenant's Covenants. No Hazardous Materials shall be
Handled by Tenant at or about the Premises or Project without Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent may be granted, denied, or conditioned
-10-
<PAGE>
upon compliance with Landlord's requirements, all in Landlord's absolute
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, normal quantities and use of those
Hazardous Materials customarily used in the conduct of general office
activities, such as copier fluids and cleaning supplies ("Permitted Hazardous
Materials"), may be used and stored at the Premises without Landlord's prior
written consent, provided that Tenant's activities at or about the Premises and
Project and the Handling by Tenant of all Hazardous Materials shall comply at
all times with all Environmental Requirements. At the expiration or termination
of the Lease, Tenant shall promptly remove from the Premises and Project all
Hazardous Materials Handled by Tenant at the Premises or the Project. Tenant
shall keep Landlord fully and promptly informed of all Handling by Tenant of
Hazardous Materials other than Permitted Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall be
responsible and liable for the compliance with all of the provisions of this
Section by all of Tenant's Representatives and Visitors, and all of Tenant's
obligations under this Section (including its indemnification obligations under
paragraph (e) below) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
(c) Compliance. Tenant shall at Tenant's expense promptly take
all actions required by any governmental agency or entity in connection with or
as a result of the Handling by Tenant of Hazardous Materials at or about the
Premises or Project, including inspection and testing, performing all cleanup,
removal and remediation work required with respect to those Hazardous Materials,
complying with all closure requirements and post-closure monitoring, and filing
all required reports or plans. All of the foregoing work and all Handling by
Tenant of all Hazardous Materials shall be performed in a good, safe and
workmanlike manner by consultants qualified and licensed to undertake such work
and in a manner that will not interfere with any other tenant's quiet enjoyment
of the Project or Landlord's use, operation, leasing and sale of the Project.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to delivery to any governmental agency,
or promptly after receipt from any such agency, copies of all permits,
manifests, closure or remedial action plans, notices, and all other documents
relating to the Handling by Tenant of Hazardous Materials at or about the
Premises or Project. If any lien attaches to the Premises or the Project in
connection with or as a result of the Handling by Tenant of Hazardous Materials,
and Tenant does not cause the same to be released, by payment, bonding or
otherwise, within ten (10) days after the attachment thereof, Landlord shall
have the right but not the obligation to cause the same to be released and any
sums expended by Landlord (plus Landlord's administrative costs) in connection
therewith shall be payable by Tenant on demand.
(d) Landlord's Rights. Upon reasonable oral or written notice
to Tenant (and without notice in emergencies), Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to enter the Premises at any reasonable time (i) to
confirm Tenant's compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2, and (ii) to
perform Tenant's obligations under this Section if Tenant has failed to do so
after reasonable notice to Tenant. Landlord shall also have the right to engage
qualified Hazardous Materials consultants to inspect the Premises and review the
Handling by Tenant of Hazardous Materials, including review of all permits,
reports, plans, and other documents regarding same. If Tenant violates the
provisions of this Section 5.2, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the
costs of Landlord's consultants' fees and all costs incurred by Landlord in
performing Tenant's obligations under this Section. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's business caused by
Landlord's entry into the Premises, but Landlord shall not be responsible for
any interference caused thereby.
(e) Tenant's Indemnification. Tenant agrees to indemnify,
defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and its partners or members and its
or their partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees and
agents from all Environmental Losses and all other claims, actions, losses,
damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of every kind, including reasonable
attorneys', experts' and consultants' fees and costs, incurred at any time and
arising from or in connection with the Handling by Tenant of Hazardous Materials
at or about the Project or Tenant's failure to comply in full with all
Environmental Requirements with respect to the Premises.
(f) Landlord's Representations. Landlord hereby represents and
warrants to Tenant that (i) Landlord has, as of the date of this Lease, Landlord
has given to Tenant a copy of all environmental reports with respect to the
Project which are in Landlord's possession, and (ii) Landlord has received no
notification from any private, governmental, or other entity that the Project
does not comply with any environmental Laws.
(g) Landlord's Responsibilities and Indemnification. Landlord
shall not use any of the Land or Building for any activities involving the use,
generation, handling, release, threatened release, treatment, storage,
discharge, disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Materials, except in such
quantity or concentration that is customarily used, stored or disposed in the
ordinary course of the business so long as such activity duly complies with
applicable Laws and good business practice. If Landlord violates the foregoing
covenant resulting in an Environmental Claim (as hereinafter defined) with
respect to the Premises, then Landlord agrees to (a) notify Tenant
-11-
<PAGE>
immediately of any such Environmental Claim and (b) clean up any contamination
in full compliance with all applicable Laws at Landlord's cost. In accordance
with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall be
responsible for any Environmental Claim for Hazardous Materials (x) existing on
the Property on the date of this Lease, and (y) caused by third parties (except
to the extent any Environmental Claim for Hazardous Materials is caused by
Handling by Tenant). Any Environmental Claim for Hazardous Materials not caused
by Handling by Tenant shall not be included in Operating Costs or otherwise be
the responsibility of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible for
any Environmental Claim for Hazardous Material to the extent of any Handling by
Tenant of Hazardous Materials, as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2.
"Environmental Claim" means any claim, demand, action, cause of action, suit,
damage, punitive damage, fine, penalty, expense, liability, criminal liability,
judgment, or governmental investigation relating to remediation or compliance
with requirements of Laws covering Hazardous Materials . The term "Environmental
Claim" also includes any costs incurred in responding to efforts to require
remediation and any claim based upon any asserted or actual breach or violation
of any requirements of any Laws covering Hazardous Materials.
Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless
Tenant and its officers, directors, employees and shareholders from and against
any and all claims, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of
every kind, including reasonable attorneys', experts, and consultants' fees and
costs, incurred at any time and arising from or in connection with Hazardous
Materials which existed on the Property prior to the Rent Commencement Date.
(h) Environmental Rent Abatement and Termination Right. If at
any time following the Rent Commencement Date, any regulatory agency requires
Tenant to vacate all or a portion of the Premises due to the presence of
Hazardous Materials in the Project (and such Hazardous Materials have not been
Handled by Tenant), and as a result thereof, Tenant is not able to reasonably
use more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises then occupied by Tenant for a
period of five (5) consecutive Business Days, and Tenant in fact ceases to use
such portion of the Premises for five (5) consecutive Business Days, then Tenant
shall be entitled to (a) an abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent
("Hazardous Materials Rent Abatement ") with respect to the portion of the
Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of such presence of
Hazardous Materials commencing on the sixth (6th) Business Day following
Tenant's inability to reasonably use such portion of the Premises due to
Hazardous Materials, and continuing until Tenant is no longer prevented from
using such portion of the Premises, and (b) terminate this Lease if Tenant is
not able to reasonably use more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises then
occupied by Tenant for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, and Tenant in
fact ceases to use such portion of the Premises for twelve (12) consecutive
months.
6. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS & ALTERATIONS.
6.1 Landlord and Tenant shall perform their respective obligations with
respect to design and construction of any improvements to be constructed and
installed in the Premises (the "Tenant Improvements"), as provided in the
Construction Rider. Except for any Tenant Improvements to be constructed by
Tenant as provided in the Construction Rider, Tenant shall not make any
alterations, improvements or changes to the Premises, including installation of
any security system or telephone or data communication wiring, ("Alterations"),
without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, upon seven (7) days prior
written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to make installations
and changes to the telephone and data communication wiring without Landlord's
consent on the conditions that Tenant shall (x) at the expiration or termination
of this Lease remove all such telephone and data communication wiring located
above and below ceilings, in chases and in risers (to the extent, within seven
(7) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notification of such installation,
Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord will require Tenant to remove such
telephone and data communications wiring at the expiration or termination of
this Lease), (y) obtain Landlord's prior written consent to any boring or
cutting through structural or load-bearing portions of the Premises, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such boring or cutting
does not affect the structural integrity of the Building, and Tenant complies
with any requirements of Landlord's independent structural engineer, and (z) at
the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall restore all portions
of the Premises being detrimentally affected by any boring or cutting for wires
or cables done by, or at the request of, Tenant. Notwithstanding any other
provision contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord's
prior consent for minor, non-structural Alterations that (a) do not affect any
of the Building Systems, (b) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises,
and (c) cost less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), so long as
Tenant gives Landlord notice
-12-
<PAGE>
of the proposed Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to commencing the
Alterations and complies with all of the following provisions (except that
Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord's approval of any plans or
specifications therefor). Any such Alterations shall be completed by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense: (i) with due diligence, in a good and
workmanlike manner, using new materials; (ii) in compliance with plans and
specifications approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld; (iii) in compliance with the reasonable construction rules and
regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time; (iv) in accordance with
all applicable Laws (including all work, whether structural or non-structural,
inside or outside the Premises, required to comply fully with all applicable
Laws and necessitated by Tenant's work); and (v) subject to all conditions which
Landlord may reasonably impose. Such conditions may include requirements for
Tenant to: (i) provide payment or performance bonds (but only for Alterations
costing more than $100,000.00) or additional insurance (from Tenant or Tenant's
contractors, subcontractors or design professionals); (ii) use contractors or
subcontractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, provided that contractors and subcontractors for Alterations affecting
(x) the Building Systems are bondable, are experienced and have done work in
buildings similar to the Buildings, (y) the structure of the Building are
selected by Tenant from one of three (3) contractors or subcontractors
designated by Landlord; and (iii) remove all or part of the Alterations prior to
or upon expiration or termination of the Term, as designated by Landlord at the
time Landlord approves any such Alterations. Landlord's right to review and
approve (or withhold approval of) Tenant's plans, drawings, specifications,
contractor(s) and other aspects of construction work proposed by Tenant is
intended solely to protect Landlord, the Project and Landlord's interests. No
approval or consent by Landlord shall be deemed or construed to be a
representation or warranty by Landlord as to the adequacy, sufficiency, fitness
or suitability thereof or compliance thereof with applicable Laws or other
requirements. Except as otherwise provided in Landlord's consent, all
Alterations shall upon installation become part of the realty and be the
property of Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, upon expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to remove
its Alterations from the Premises on the condition that (x) Tenant repairs all
damage to the Premises resulting from such removal, and (y) where Tenant removes
any such Alterations, Tenant restores that portion of the Premises affected
thereby to the condition existing on the Rent Commencement Date (including
capping all utility lines, if any resulting from such removal), ordinary wear
and tear excepted, on the condition that the Alterations can be removed from the
Premises or the Building without causing any structural damage to the Premises
and the Building.
6.2 Before making any Alterations, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for
Landlord's prior reasonable approval reasonably detailed final plans and
specifications prepared by a licensed architect or engineer, a copy of the
construction contract, including the name of the contractor and all
subcontractors proposed by Tenant to make the Alterations and a copy of the
contractor's license. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any
third-party, out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in
connection with any Alterations made by Tenant, including reasonable fees
charged by Landlord's contractors or consultants to review plans and
specifications prepared by Tenant and to update the existing as-built plans and
specifications of the Building to reflect the Alterations. Tenant shall obtain
all applicable and required permits, authorizations and governmental approvals
and deliver copies of the same to Landlord before commencement of any
Alterations.
6.3 Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Project free and clear of
all liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations
incurred by Tenant. If any such lien attaches to the Premises or the Project,
and Tenant does not cause the same to be released by payment, bonding or
otherwise within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of notice of the
attachment thereof, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to
cause the same to be released, and any sums expended by Landlord (plus
Landlord's administrative costs) in connection therewith shall be payable by
Tenant on demand with interest thereon from the date of expenditure by Landlord
at the Interest Rate (as defined in Section 16.2 - Interest). Tenant shall give
Landlord at least ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any
Alterations and cooperate with Landlord in posting and maintaining notices of
non-responsibility in connection therewith.
6.4 Subject to the provisions of Section 5 - Use and Compliance with
Laws and the foregoing provisions of this Section, Tenant may install and
maintain furnishings, equipment, movable partitions, business equipment and
other trade fixtures ("Trade Fixtures") in the Premises, provided that the Trade
Fixtures can be removed from the Premises or the Building without damage to the
structure of the Premises and the Building. Tenant shall promptly repair any
damage to the Premises or the Building caused by any installation or removal of
such Trade Fixtures.

7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
7.1 By taking possession of the Premises Tenant agrees that the
Premises are then in a good and tenantable condition, subject to (a) any defects
in the Base Building Work of which Tenant notifies Landlord in writing within
one (1) year after the Rent Commencement Date for the applicable Building, (b)
completion of any "punchlist" items pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit B
attached hereto, and (c) Landlord's obligations under Sections 7.2, 12 and 13 of
this Lease. Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all construction warranties for
the Base Building Work, on the condition that Landlord shall also have the right
to enforce such construction warranties. Subject to Landlord's obligations under
Sections 7.2, 12 and 13 of this Lease, from and after the Rent Commencement Date
and continuing thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant shall be responsible to
clean, maintain and repair the Premises, including providing janitorial services
and disposal of trash; and to that end, commencing upon the Rent Commencement
Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant, at Tenant's expense
but under the reasonable direction of Landlord, shall repair and maintain the
Premises, including, without limitation, the interior of the Premises, the
exterior of the Buildings (including repair and maintenance of the roof
membrane, and washing the exterior of the Buildings, but excluding Landlord's
repair obligations contained in Section 7.2 below), the heating, ventilating and
air conditioning system or systems serving the Premises, the electrical and
plumbing systems serving the Premises, including the lighting and plumbing
fixtures, the restrooms serving the Premises, interior stairways in the
Premises, the interior and exterior glass, including caulking (but excluding
structural portions of the exterior of the Buildings), plate glass skylights,
interior walls, floor coverings, ceiling (ceiling tiles and grid), Tenant
Improvements, Alterations, fire extinguishers, outlets and fixtures, and any
appliances (including dishwashers, hot water heaters and garbage disposers) in
the Premises, in a reasonably good condition, and keep the Premises in a clean,
safe and orderly condition. Prior to the Rent Commencement Date Tenant shall
provide Landlord with a copy of a service contract with a licensed commercial
Heating, Ventilating and Air-conditioning maintenance company (which contract
and company shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld), to maintain, on an ongoing basis (at least
quarterly), the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system serving the
Premises. If Tenant fails to perform its maintenance and repair obligations
under this Section 7.1, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after
written notice from Landlord to Tenant, then Landlord shall have the right to
perform such maintenance and repairs at Tenant's expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, and
without in any way relieving Landlord of its obligations under Section 12 of
this Lease, if (a) at any time during the period beginning on the first (1st)
anniversary date of the Rent Commencement Date (for the applicable Building, if
each Building has a separate Rent Commencement Date) and ending on the first
(1st) day of the eighty-fifth (85th) full calendar month of the initial Term of
this Lease, (b) it appears to Tenant that any individual repair to the Base
Building Work costs more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), and (c) the
repair is not the result of Tenant's negligence or willful misconduct, then
Tenant may request Landlord to make such repair ("Tenant's Base Building Repair
Request"). Upon receipt of Tenant's Base Building Repair Request, Landlord shall
request three (3) qualified contractors selected by Landlord to give cost
estimates for the repair described in Tenant's Base Building Repair Request. If
the lowest estimate from such three (3) contractors for the cost of the repairs
described in Tenant's Base Building Repair Request exceeds Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000.00), then Landlord shall cause such repairs ("Landlord's Base
Building Repair for Tenant") to the Base Building Work to be made at Landlord's
expense. The costs of Landlord's Base Building Repair for Tenant shall be
amortized straight-line over its useful life, as reasonably determined by
Landlord, and be included in Operating Costs in the calendar year in which the
repair is made and in each calendar year thereafter during the Term, including
any Extension Period (as defined in Section 41 of this Lease); provided, such
amortized costs shall not be included in determining Fair Market Base Rental
applicable to any Extension Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, and
without in any way relieving Landlord of its obligations under Section 12 of
this Lease, if (a) less than five (5) years remain in the Term of this Lease,
(b) it appears to Tenant that any individual repair which is Tenant's
responsibility under this Section 7.1 costs more than Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($15,000.00), and (c) the repair is not the result of Tenant's negligence or
willful misconduct, then Tenant may request Landlord to make such repair
("Tenant's Repair Request"). Upon receipt of Tenant's Repair Request, Landlord
shall request three (3) qualified contractors selected by Landlord to give cost
estimates for the repair described in Tenant's Repair Request. If the lowest
estimate from such three (3) contractors for the cost of the repairs described
in Tenant's Repair Request exceeds Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00), then
Landlord shall cause such repairs ("Landlord's Repair for Tenant") to be made at
Landlord's expense. The costs of
-14-
<PAGE>
Landlord's Repair for Tenant shall be amortized straight-line over its useful
life, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and be included in Operating Costs
in the calendar year in which the repair is made and in each calendar year
thereafter during the Term, including any Extension Period (as defined in
Section 41 of this Lease); provided, such amortized costs shall not be included
in determining Fair Market Base Rental applicable to any Extension Period.
7.2 Landlord shall maintain or cause to be maintained in reasonably
good order, condition and repair, (a) the structural portions of the roof
(excluding the roof membrane), columns, footings, foundations, floors and
exterior walls of the Buildings (excluding glass and window caulking) and
structural portions of any other improvements located in the Outside Areas, (b)
the main water lines, pipes and conduit serving the Premises (including the fire
protection loop) to the point of entry into the Buildings, (c) the Parking
Structure below the Buildings, and (d) all other portions of the Outside Areas
not listed in (a), (b) and (c) above, the costs of which items contained in this
Section 7.2 shall be included as a part of Operating Costs (except for the costs
of maintenance of levees, which shall be at Landlord's sole cost), subject to
the terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations contained in Section 3.2 of
this Lease. Landlord shall maintain or cause to be maintained in reasonably good
order, condition and repair all levees located in the Outside Areas, the costs
of which maintenance of levees shall not be included in Operating Costs.
Additionally, Landlord shall perform and construct, at Landlord's sole cost and
expense, any repair, maintenance or improvements to the Premises or the Project
(i) necessitated by the acts or omissions of Landlord, or Landlord's
contractors, agents or employees, (ii) required as a consequence of any
violation of any Law with respect to the original construction of the Base
Building Work, or construction or design defects in the Base Building Work, or
(iii) for which Landlord has a right to receive reimbursement from others.
Landlord shall be under no obligation to inspect the Premises. Tenant shall
promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to Tenant
which Landlord is required to repair. As a material part of the consideration
for this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any benefits of any applicable existing or
future Law, including the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1),
1941 and 1942, that allows a tenant to make repairs at its landlord's expense.
7.3 Landlord hereby reserves the right, at any time and from time to
time, without liability to Tenant, and without constituting an eviction,
constructive or otherwise, or entitling Tenant to any abatement of rent or to
terminate this Lease or otherwise releasing Tenant from any of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease:
(a) To reduce, increase, enclose or otherwise change at any
time and from time to time the size, number, location, lay-out and nature of the
Outside Areas (including the Parking Facility, subject to the provisions of
Section 39 - Parking of this Lease) and other tenancies and premises in the
Project; and
(b) If any governmental authority promulgates or revises any
Law or imposes controls or guidelines on Landlord or the Project relating to the
use or conservation of energy or utilities or the reduction of automobile or
other emissions or reduction or management of traffic or parking on the Project
(collectively "Controls"), to comply with such Controls, or make any alterations
to the Project related thereto.
(c) In exercising its rights under this Section 7.3, Landlord
shall not materially and permanently impair Tenant's access to the Premises.
8. TENANT'S TAXES. "Tenant's Taxes" shall mean (a) all taxes, assessments,
license fees and other governmental charges or impositions levied or assessed
against or with respect to Tenant's personal property or Trade Fixtures in the
Premises, whether any such imposition is levied directly against Tenant or
levied against Landlord or the Project, (b) all rental, excise, sales or
transaction privilege taxes arising out of this Lease (excluding, however, state
and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the income of
Landlord from all sources) imposed by any taxing authority upon Landlord or upon
Landlord's receipt of any rent payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this
Lease ("Rental Tax"), and (c) any increase in Taxes attributable to inclusion of
a value placed on Tenant's personal property, Trade Fixtures or Alterations.
Tenant shall pay any Rental Tax to Landlord in addition to and at the same time
as Base Rent is payable under this Lease, and shall pay all other Tenant's Taxes
before delinquency (and, at Landlord's request, shall furnish Landlord
satisfactory evidence thereof). If Landlord pays Tenant's Taxes or any portion
thereof, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount of such
payment, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of Landlord's
payment to the date of Tenant's reimbursement.

9. UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
9.1. Description of Services and Payment of Utilities.
(a) If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of
the Premises by the HVAC systems of the Building is affected as a result of any
lights, machines or equipment used by Tenant in the Premises, or for any other
reason, then Landlord shall not be responsible to make any changes or additions
to the HVAC, it being the responsibility of Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, to install any machinery or equipment desired by Tenant to restore the
temperature, including modifications to the standard air-conditioning equipment,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 of this Lease.
(b) Electricity, water, sanitary sewer and any gas will be
separately metered for the Premises. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all
charges for water, gas, electricity, telephone and other telecommunication
services, janitorial service, trash pick-up, sewer and all other services
consumed on or supplied to the Premises, and all taxes, levies, fees and
surcharges thereon.
9.2 Interruption of Services. In the event of an interruption in or
failure or inability to provide any services or utilities to the Premises or
either Building for any reason (a "Service Failure"), such Service Failure shall
not, regardless of its duration, impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever,
constitute an eviction of Tenant, constructive or otherwise, entitle Tenant to
an abatement of rent or to terminate this Lease or otherwise release Tenant from
any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any benefits
of any applicable existing or future Law, including the provisions of California
Civil Code Section 1932(1), permitting the termination of this Lease due to such
interruption, failure or inability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is
any Service Failure caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,
or its agents, employees or contractors, and such Service Failure prevents
Tenant from reasonably using any material portion of the Premises for a period
of five (5) consecutive Business Days and Tenant in fact ceases to use such
portion of the Premises for five (5) consecutive Business Days, then Tenant
shall be entitled to (a) an abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent with
respect to the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by
reason of such Service Failure commencing on the sixth (6th) Business Day
following the occurrence of the Service Failure and continuing until Tenant is
no longer prevented from using such portion of the Premises, and (b) if such
interruption continues for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days after
Tenant gives Landlord written notice of such interruption, terminate this Lease
by written notice to Landlord at any time after such one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days, provided, however, if following such one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive day period such interruption is cured prior to Tenant giving
Landlord written notice terminating this Lease, then Tenant shall no longer have
the right to terminate this Lease under this sentence due to such interruption.
10. EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION.
10.1 Landlord's Indemnification of Tenant. Landlord shall indemnify,
protect, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any claims, actions,
liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs incurred in defending against the same ("Claims") asserted by any
third party against Tenant for loss, injury or damage, to the extent such loss,
injury or damage is caused by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or
omissions of Landlord or its authorized representatives.
10.2 Tenant's Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify,
protect, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord's authorized representatives
harmless from and against Claims arising from (a) the acts or omissions of
Tenant or Tenant's Representatives or Visitors in or about the Project, or (b)
any construction or other work undertaken by Tenant on the Premises (including
any design defects), or (c) any breach or default under this Lease by Tenant, or
(d) any loss, injury or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any
person or property, occurring in or about the Premises during the Term,
excepting only Claims described in this clause (d) to the extent they are caused
by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or its
authorized representatives. This Section shall not apply to Hazardous Materials,
the subject of which is governed by the provisions of Section 5.2 of this Lease.
10.3 Damage to Tenant and Tenant's Property. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant for any loss, injury or other damage to Tenant or to Tenant's
property in or about the Premises or the Project at any time from any cause
(including defects in the Property or in any equipment in the Project; fire,
explosion or other casualty;
-16-
<PAGE>
bursting, rupture, leakage or overflow of any plumbing or other pipes or lines,
sprinklers, tanks, drains, drinking fountains or washstands in, above, or about
the Premises or the Property; or acts of other tenants in the Project). Tenant
hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any such loss, injury or damage to
Tenant or Tenant's property, and the cost and expense of defending against
claims relating thereto, including any loss, injury or damage caused by
Landlord's negligence (active or passive) or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be
liable to Tenant for any punitive or consequential damages or damages for loss
of business by Tenant, except to the extent that consequential damages or
damages for loss of business by Tenant are incurred as a result of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's authorized
representatives.
10.4. Survival. The obligations of the parties under this Section 10
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
11. INSURANCE.
11.1 Tenant's Insurance.
(a) Liability Insurance. Tenant shall maintain in full force
throughout the Term, commercial general liability insurance providing coverage
on an occurrence form basis with limits of not less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000.00) each occurrence for bodily injury and property damage combined,
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) annual general aggregate, and Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000.00) products and completed operations annual aggregate.
Tenant's liability insurance coverage may be provided by a combination of
primary, excess and umbrella policies, but these policies must be absolutely
concurrent in all respects regarding the coverage afforded by the policies. The
coverage of any excess or umbrella policy must be at least as broad as the
coverage of the primary policy. Tenant's liability insurance policy or policies
shall: (i) include premises and operations liability coverage, products and
completed operations liability coverage, broad form property damage coverage
including completed operations, blanket contractual liability coverage
including, to the maximum extent possible, coverage for the indemnification
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and personal and advertising injury
coverage; (ii) provide that the insurance company has the duty to defend all
insureds under the policy; (iii) provide that defense costs are paid in addition
to and do not deplete any of the policy limits; (iv) cover liabilities arising
out of or incurred in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises
or the Project; (v) extend coverage to cover liability for the actions of
Tenant's Representatives and Visitors; and (vi) [intentionally deleted]. Each
policy of liability insurance required by this Section shall: (i) contain a
separation of insureds clause or otherwise provide cross-liability coverage;
(ii) provide that any waiver of subrogation rights or release prior to a loss
does not void coverage; (iii) provide that it is primary insurance; (iv) provide
that any failure to comply with the reporting provisions shall not affect
coverage provided to Landlord, its partners, property managers and Mortgagees;
and (v) name Landlord, its partners, the Property Manager identified in the
Basic Lease Information (the "Property Manager"), and such other parties in
interest as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate to Tenant in
writing, as additional insureds. Such additional insureds shall be provided at
least the same extent of coverage as is provided to Tenant under such policies.
All endorsements effecting such additional insured status shall be at least as
broad as additional insured endorsement form number CG 20 11 11 85 or CG 20 11
01 96 promulgated by the Insurance Services Office.
(b) Property Insurance. Tenant shall at all times maintain in
effect with respect to any Alterations and Tenant's Trade Fixtures and personal
property, commercial property insurance providing coverage, on an "all risk" or
"special form" basis, in an amount equal to at least 90% of the full replacement
cost of the covered property. Tenant may carry such insurance under a blanket
policy, provided that such policy provides coverage equivalent to a separate
policy. During the Term, the proceeds from any such policies of insurance shall
be used for the repair or replacement of the Alterations, Trade Fixtures and
personal property so insured. Landlord shall be provided coverage under such
insurance to the extent of its insurable interest and, if requested by Landlord,
both Landlord and Tenant shall sign all documents reasonably necessary or proper
in connection with the settlement of any claim or loss under such insurance.
Landlord will have no obligation to carry insurance on any Alterations or on
Tenant's Trade Fixtures or personal property.
(c) Requirements For All Policies. Each policy of insurance
required under this Section 11.1 shall: (i) be in a form, and written by an
insurer, reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) be maintained at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, and (iii) require at least thirty (30) days' written notice to
Landlord prior to any cancellation,
-17-
<PAGE>
nonrenewal or material modification of insurance coverage. Insurance companies
issuing such policies shall have rating classifications of "A" or better and
financial size category ratings of "VII" or better according to the latest
edition of the A.M. Best Key Rating Guide. All insurance companies issuing such
policies shall be admitted carriers licensed to do business in the state where
the Property is located. Any deductible amount under such insurance shall not
exceed $5,000. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, upon request, evidence that the
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Section, including
any endorsement effecting the additional insured status, is in full force and
effect and that premiums therefor have been paid.
(d) Updating Coverage. Tenant shall increase the amounts of
insurance as required by any Mortgagee, and, not more frequently than once every
three (3) years, as reasonably recommended by Landlord's insurance broker, if,
in the reasonable opinion of either of them, the amount of insurance then
required under this Lease is not adequate, but in no event shall such increased
amounts of insurance be in excess of that required by landlords (which are
unrelated to Landlord) of comparable buildings in the general vicinity of the
Buildings. Any limits set forth in this Lease on the amount or type of coverage
required by Tenant's insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant under
this Lease.
(e) Certificates of Insurance. Prior to any entry into or
occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, and not more than ten (10) days after
expiration of any policy thereafter, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a
certificate of insurance reflecting that the insurance required by this Section
is in force, accompanied by an endorsement showing the required additional
insureds satisfactory to Landlord in substance and form. Notwithstanding the
requirements of this paragraph, Tenant shall at Landlord's request provide to
Landlord a certified copy of each insurance policy required to be in force at
any time pursuant to the requirements of this Lease or its Exhibits.
11.2 Landlord's Insurance. Commencing upon the date that the builder's
risk coverage carried by Landlord on the construction of Building expires, and
continuing through the Term, to the extent such coverages are available at a
commercially reasonable cost, Landlord shall maintain in effect insurance on the
Buildings with responsible insurers, on an "all risk" or "special form" basis,
insuring the Buildings and the Tenant Improvements in an amount equal to at
least 90% of the replacement cost thereof, excluding land, foundations, footings
and underground installations. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
carry insurance against additional perils and/or in greater amounts.
11.3 Mutual Waiver of Right of Recovery & Waiver of Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and
Tenant each hereby waive any right of recovery against each other and the
partners, managers, members, shareholders, officers, directors, and sublessees
which have been approved by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 14 of
this Lease (on the condition that any such sublessee agrees in writing to
provide for the benefit of Landlord a reciprocal waiver as is contained in this
Section 11.3), and authorized representatives of each other for any loss or
damage that is covered by any policy of property insurance maintained by either
party (or required by this Lease to be maintained) with respect to the Premises
or the Property or any operation therein, regardless of cause, including
negligence (active or passive) of the party benefiting from the waiver. If any
such policy of insurance relating to this Lease or to the Premises or the
Property does not permit the foregoing waiver or if the coverage under any such
policy would be invalidated as a result of such waiver, the party maintaining
such policy shall obtain from the insurer under such policy a waiver of all
right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with
any claim, loss or damage covered by such policy.
12. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
12.1 Landlord's Duty to Repair.
(a) If all or any part of either Building in which the
Premises is located are rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all
or any part of the Property from fire or other casualty then, unless either
party is entitled to and elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Sections
12.2 - Landlord's Right to Terminate and 12.3 - Tenant's Right to Terminate,
Landlord shall, at its expense, use reasonable efforts to repair and restore the
Premises and/or the Property, as the case may be, to substantially their former
condition to the extent permitted by then applicable Laws, provided that any
changes to the Premises and/or Property required by then applicable Law do not
materially, adversely affect Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises;
provided, however, in no event shall
-18-
<PAGE>
Landlord have any obligation for repair or restoration for any of Tenant's
personal property, Trade Fixtures or Alterations.
(b) If Landlord is required or elects to repair damage to the
Premises and/or the Property, this Lease shall continue in effect, but Tenant's
Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated with regard to any portion of the
Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of such damage or its
repair from the date of the casualty until substantial completion of Landlord's
repair of the affected portion of the Premises as required under this Lease. If
this Lease is terminated following any fire or other casualty pursuant to the
provision of this Section 12, then Tenant's Base Rent and Additional Rent shall
be abated from and after the date of such fire or other casualty. In no event
shall Landlord be liable to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference
with Tenant's business or property arising from fire or other casualty or by
reason of any repairs to any part of the Property necessitated by such casualty.
12.2 Landlord's Right to Terminate. Landlord may elect to terminate
this Lease following damage by fire or other casualty under the following
circumstances:
(a) If, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, that portion
of the Property which has been damaged, and the Premises cannot be substantially
repaired and restored under applicable Laws within one (1) year from the date of
Landlord's Casualty Election Notice (as hereinafter defined);
(b) If, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, adequate
proceeds are not, for any reason (other than Landlord's failure to maintain the
"all risk" insurance required under Section 11.2 of this Lease), made available
to Landlord from Landlord's insurance policies (and/or from Landlord's funds
made available for such purpose, it being agreed that Landlord shall be
obligated to contribute the difference, not to exceed $250,000.00, between the
amount of the proceeds made available to Landlord from Landlord's insurance
policies and the cost to make the required repairs) to make the required repairs
and Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord has elected not to restore
the Premises but instead intends to either (x) demolish the Premises without the
intent to restore it to substantially its original condition within nine (9)
months after such demolition, or (y) replace the Premises with a materially and
substantially different structure; provided, however, Landlord shall not have
the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection
(b) if Landlord restores or repairs the Premises within one (1) year following
the date of any such fire or other casualty. In determining whether or not
adequate proceeds are available to Landlord, the following funds shall be taken
into account: (i) proceeds from Landlord's insurance policies actually received
by Landlord, (ii) any additional funds Landlord makes available for such
purpose, which funds shall be not less than $250,000.00 (provided, Landlord
shall not be required to contribute more than $250,000.00 out of Landlord's
funds to make the required repairs arising from any fire or other casualty),
(iii) any funds Tenant elects to make available for such purpose at Tenant's
sole option (which option Tenant may exercise by written notice to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to
terminate the Lease under this subsection) and (iv) any payments of Operating
Expenses which relate to insurance deductibles paid by Tenant in the 12 months
following the casualty;
(c) If either Building in which the Premises is located is
damaged or destroyed during the last two (2) years of the Term to the extent
that, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the cost to repair and restore
such Building would exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the full replacement
cost of such Building; provided, however, that Landlord may not terminate this
Lease pursuant to this Subsection (c) if (i) Tenant has any remaining Extension
Option and (ii) within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant receives from
Landlord written notification terminating this Lease pursuant to the provisions
of this subsection (c), Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice exercising
such Extension Option ("Tenant's Termination Override") at the Fair Market Base
Rental to be determined at the time of Tenant's Termination Override (and for
the purposes of this subsection (c) the restrictions on the time within which
Tenant must exercise such Extension Option are hereby waived); or
(d) If the fire or other casualty occurs during the last year
of the Term, and the repairs and restoration would either (i) take longer than
ninety (90) days to complete following the date of the fire or other casualty,
or (ii) would not be completed at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration
of the Term.
If any of the circumstances described in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of
this Section 12.2 occur or arise, Landlord shall give Tenant notice ("Landlord's
Casualty Election Notice") within one hundred and twenty (120)
-19-
<PAGE>
days after the date of the casualty, specifying whether Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease as provided above and, if not, Landlord's estimate of the
time required to complete Landlord's repair obligations under this Lease.
12.3 Tenant's Right to Terminate. If all or a substantial part of the
Premises are rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or any part
of the Property from fire or other casualty, and Landlord does not elect to
terminate as provided above, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if
(a) Landlord's estimate of the time required to complete Landlord's repair
obligations under this Lease is greater than one (1) year from the date of
Landlord's Casualty Election Notice, in which event Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice of such election to terminate
within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord's Casualty Election Notice,
or (b) Landlord (x) does not restore the Premises and the Property within one
(1) year following date of Landlord's Casualty Election Notice, and (y) in
addition, after the expiration of such one (1) year period, does not complete
Landlord's repair obligations under this Lease within forty-five (45) days after
Landlord's receipt of written demand from Tenant to complete such repair
obligations, or (c) the fire or other casualty occurs during the last year of
the Term, and would either (i) take longer than ninety (90) days to complete
following the date of the fire or other casualty, or (ii) would not be completed
at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Term, then Tenant may
elect to terminate this Lease during the last year of the Term by giving
Landlord written notice of such election to terminate within thirty (30) days
following the determination of the time to repair or restore the Premises. In
addition, if, following any fire or other casualty, any changes to the Premises
and/or Property required by then applicable Law materially, adversely affect
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by written notice received by Landlord within thirty (30)
days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such changes (and Landlord shall not be
obligated, to the extent otherwise required under this Section 12, to commence
repair and restoration of the Premises/and or the Building until the earlier of
the date Tenant's right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of
this sentence expires, or Landlord receives a written waiver of such termination
right signed by Tenant).
12.4 Waiver. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive the provisions of
California Civil Code Sections 1932(2), 1933(4) and any other applicable
existing or future Law permitting the termination of a lease agreement in the
event of damage or destruction under any circumstances other than as provided in
Sections 12.2 - Landlord's Right to Terminate and 12.3 - Tenant's Right to
Terminate.
13. CONDEMNATION.
13.1 Definitions.
(a) "Award" shall mean all compensation, sums, or anything of
value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial Condemnation.
(b) "Condemnation" shall mean (i) a permanent taking (or a
temporary taking for a period extending beyond the end of the Term) pursuant to
the exercise of the power of condemnation or eminent domain by any public or
quasi-public authority, private corporation or individual having such power
("Condemnor"), whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, or (ii) a voluntary
sale or transfer by Landlord to any such authority, either under threat of
condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending.
(c) "Date of Condemnation" shall mean the earlier of the date
that title to the property taken is vested in the Condemnor or the date the
Condemnor has the right to possession of the property being condemned.
13.2 Effect on Lease.
(a) If the Premises are totally taken by Condemnation, this
Lease shall terminate as of the Date of Condemnation. If a portion but not all
of the Premises is taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect;
provided, however, that if the portion of the Premises remaining after the
Condemnation will be unsuitable for Tenant's continued use, then upon notice to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of the
Condemnation, Tenant may terminate this Lease effective as of the Date of
Condemnation. If (i) the private road serving the Premises is taken by
Condemnation, (ii) Landlord does not provide an alternative means of access to
the Premises upon such taking, and (iii) the Premises will be unsuitable for
Tenant's continued use, then upon notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after Landlord notifies Tenant of the Condemnation, Tenant may terminate this
Lease effective as of the Date of Condemnation.
-20-
<PAGE>
(b) If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Project or of
the parcel(s) of land on which the Buildings are situated or of the Parking
Facility or of the floor area in the Building or Buildings then leased by Tenant
is taken by Condemnation, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, effective
as of the Date of Condemnation, by notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days
after the Date of Condemnation.
(c) If all or a portion of the Premises is temporarily taken
by a Condemnor for a period greater than twelve (12) consecutive months, then
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to
Landlord within twenty (20) days following either (i) notice from the Condemnor
that the temporary taking will be for a period in excess of twelve (12)
consecutive months, or (ii) the expiration of such twelve (12) consecutive month
period; and for any other temporary taking, not extending beyond the end of the
Term, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
13.3 Restoration. If this Lease is not terminated as provided in
Section 13.2 - Effect on Lease, Landlord, at its expense, shall diligently
proceed to repair and restore the Project to substantially its former condition
(to the extent permitted by then applicable Laws) and/or repair and restore the
Building or Buildings then leased by Tenant to an architecturally complete
office building; provided, however, that Landlord's obligations to so repair and
restore shall be limited to the amount of any Award received by Landlord and not
required to be paid to any Mortgagee (as defined in Section 20.2 below). In no
event shall Landlord have any obligation to repair or replace any improvements
in the Premises beyond the amount of any Award received by Landlord for such
repair or to repair or replace any of Tenant's personal property, Trade
Fixtures, or Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Premises
and/or Project cannot be restored to substantially their former condition under
the then applicable Laws, or (ii) Landlord has not received an Award in an
amount sufficient to complete the necessary restoration work, then Landlord
shall notify Tenant as soon as is reasonably practicable learning of either of
such conditions, and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from
Landlord.
13.4 Abatement and Reduction of Rent. If any portion of the Premises is
taken in a Condemnation or is rendered permanently untenantable by repairs
necessitated by the Condemnation, and this Lease is not terminated, the Base
Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease shall be proportionally
reduced as of the Date of Condemnation based upon the percentage of rentable
square feet in the Premises so taken or rendered permanently untenantable. In
addition, if this Lease remains in effect following a Condemnation and Landlord
proceeds to repair and restore the Premises, the Base Rent and Additional Rent
payable under this Lease shall be abated during the period of such repair or
restoration to the extent such repairs prevent Tenant's use of the Premises.
13.5 Awards. Any Award made shall be paid to Landlord, and Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord, and waives all interest in or claim to, any such
Award, including any claim for the value of the unexpired Term; provided,
however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive, or to prosecute a separate
claim for, an Award for a temporary taking of the Premises or a portion thereof
by a Condemnor where this Lease is not terminated (to the extent such Award
relates to the unexpired Term), or an Award or portion thereof separately
designated for relocation and moving expenses or the interruption of or damage
to Tenant's business, or loss of goodwill, or as compensation for Tenant's
personal property, Trade Fixtures or Alterations.
13.6 Waiver. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive the provisions of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 and any other applicable
existing or future Law allowing either party to petition for a termination of
this Lease upon a partial taking of the Premises and/or the Property.
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
14.1 Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or
any interest therein, or sublet or license or permit the use or occupancy of the
Premises or any part thereof by or for the benefit of anyone other than Tenant,
or in any other manner transfer all or any part of Tenant's interest under this
Lease (each and all a "Transfer" and the transferee in any transfer is referred
to herein as a "Transferee"), without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent (subject to the other provisions of this Section 14) shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber
this Lease or all or any part of Tenant's interest under this Lease. The term
"Transfer" shall include any direct or indirect transfer of ownership interest
of the entity, whether in one transaction
-21-
<PAGE>
or in a series of related transactions, that results in any person or entity (or
group of related persons or entities) becoming the owners of fifty percent (50%)
or more of the ownership interests of the entity (a "Change of Control");
provided, however, that none of the following shall constitute a Transfer, or be
considered in determining whether or not a Change of Control has occurred: (i)
any transfer of stock in a corporation that is the Tenant if the stock of such
corporation is publicly held and traded through an exchange or over the counter;
(ii) if Tenant is a corporation, any public or private placements or offerings
of Tenant's stock, including any initial public offering of such stock; and
(iii) the issuance of warrants or stock options to purchase Tenant's stock, and
the exercise of purchase rights under any such warrants or stock options.
14.2.Reasonable Consent.
(a) Prior to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall submit in
writing to Landlord (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed assignee,
subtenant, user or other transferee (each a "Proposed Transferee"); (ii) the
nature of the business proposed to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) a
current balance sheet, income statements for the last two years and such other
reasonable financial and other information concerning the Proposed Transferee as
Landlord may request; and (iv) a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or
other agreement governing the proposed Transfer. Within fifteen (15) Business
Days after Landlord receives all such information it shall notify Tenant whether
it approves or disapproves such Transfer or if it elects to proceed under
Section 14.7 - Landlord's Right to Space.
(b) 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 consent where (i) the
Proposed Transferee does not intend itself to occupy the entire portion of the
Premises assigned or sublet, (ii) 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 Project, (iii) the Proposed Transferee is a
governmental agency or unit or an existing tenant in the Project, or (iv)
Landlord otherwise determines that the proposed Transfer would have the effect
of materially decreasing the value of the Project or materially increasing the
expenses associated with operating, maintaining and repairing the Project.
14.3 Excess Consideration. If Landlord consents to the Transfer, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of all "Sublease
Profits" (as defined below) within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives any
such Sublease Profits. "Sublease Profits" shall mean any consideration paid by
the Transferee for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease,
the excess of the rent and other consideration payable by the subtenant over the
amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder applicable to the
subleased space, less any and all direct, out-of-pocket expenses and cash
concessions, including costs for necessary Alterations, reasonable attorneys'
fees and brokerage commission, paid by Tenant to procure the assignee or
subtenant.
14.4 No Release Of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall relieve
Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether
occurring before or after such consent, assignment, subletting or other
Transfer. Each Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant (and
Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with each Transferee) for the
payment of rent (or, in the case of a sublease, rent in the amount set forth in
the sublease) and for the performance of all other terms and provisions of this
Lease. The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant or any
such Transferee from the obligation to obtain Landlord's express prior written
consent to any subsequent Transfer by Tenant or any Transferee. The acceptance
of 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. If, in connection
with any such Transfer, Tenant gives Landlord a written request for Landlord to
provide an estoppel certificate, then Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts
to provide to the Transferee a certificate stating whether or not this Lease is
in full force and effect, describing any amendments or modifications hereto, the
Term, the monthly Base Rent, the date to which Rent has been paid, the amount of
any security deposit or prepaid rent, and whether Landlord in good faith
believes to be true to the best of its knowledge that either party hereto is in
default under the terms of the Lease.
14.5 Expenses and Attorneys' Fees. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees for
Landlord's consent to a Transfer) incurred by Landlord in connection with
reviewing or consenting to any proposed Transfer (including any request for
consent to, or any waiver of Landlord's rights in connection with, any security
interest in any of Tenant's property at the Premises).
-22-
<PAGE>
14.6 Effectiveness of Transfer. Prior to the date on which any
permitted Transfer (whether or not requiring Landlord's consent) becomes
effective, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of the fully executed
Transfer document and Landlord's standard form of Consent to Assignment or
(attached hereto as Exhibit G) or Consent to Sublease (attached hereto as
Exhibit H) 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 instrument shall not release or discharge
the Transferee from liability as provided herein. 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.
14.7 Landlord's Right to Space. Notwithstanding any of the above
provisions of this Section to the contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord that it
desires to enter into a Transfer, Landlord, in lieu of consenting to such
Transfer, may elect (x) in the case of an assignment or a sublease of the entire
Premises, to terminate this Lease, or (y) in the case of a sublease which
cumulatively results in Tenant subleasing at any given time (whether to one or
more entities other than an Affiliate) one hundred percent (100%) of one of the
Buildings for a term which expires less than twelve (12) months prior to the
scheduled Expiration Date of this Lease, to terminate this Lease as it relates
to the space proposed to be subleased by Tenant. In such event, this Lease will
terminate (or the space proposed to be subleased will be removed from the
Premises subject to this Lease and the Base Rent and Tenant's Share under this
Lease shall be proportionately reduced) on the earlier of sixty (60) days after
the date of Landlord's notice to Tenant making the election set forth in this
Section 14.7 or the date the Transfer was proposed to be effective, and Landlord
may lease such space to any party, including the prospective Transferee
identified by Tenant.
14.8 Assignment of Sublease Rents. Tenant hereby absolutely and
irrevocably assigns to Landlord any and all rights to receive rent and other
consideration from any sublease and agrees that Landlord, as assignee for Tenant
for purposes hereof, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's
application may (but shall not be obligated to) collect such rents and other
consideration and apply the same toward Tenant's obligations to Landlord under
this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord grants to Tenant at all times prior
to occurrence of any breach or default by Tenant a revocable license to collect
such rents (which license shall automatically and without notice be and be
deemed to have been revoked and terminated immediately upon any Event of
Default).
14.9 Transfer to Affiliate. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
the Section 14 to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent
of Landlord, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord, to transfer
Tenant's interest in this Lease to an "Affiliate" of Tenant, and the provisions
of Sections 14.2, 14.3 and 14.7 shall not apply with respect to the transfer to
the Affiliate, but the transfer to the Affiliate shall be subject to all other
terms and conditions of this Lease, including the provisions of this Section
14.9. Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease after any such transfer. For
the purposes of this Article 14, the term "Affiliate" of Tenant shall mean and
refer to (i) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with
Tenant or Tenant's parent, as the case may be, (ii) a successor corporation
resulting from a merger, consolidation, or nonbankruptcy reorganization by
Tenant, or (iii) a purchaser of at least ninety percent (90%) of Tenant's assets
located in the Premises. "Control" as used herein shall mean the possession,
direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of such controlled entity; and the ownership, or
possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at
least fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in any entity.
15. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
15.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute an "Event of Default" by Tenant:
(a) Tenant fails to make any payment of rent when due, or any
amount required to replenish the security deposit as provided in Section 4
above, if payment in full is not received by Landlord within three (3) days
after written notice that it is due.
(b) Tenant abandons the Premises.
(c) Tenant fails to deliver any subordination document,
estoppel certificate or financial statement requested by Landlord within ten
(10) days after a second (2nd) notice given from Landlord, following the
-23-
<PAGE>
applicable time period with respect to a first (1st) notice from Landlord, as
specified in Sections 20 - Encumbrances - and 21 - Estoppel Certificates and
Financial Statements - below.
(d) Tenant violates the restrictions on Transfer set forth in
Section 14 - Assignment and Subletting.
(e) Tenant ceases doing business as a going concern; makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; is adjudicated an insolvent, files a
petition (or files an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition)
seeking relief under any state or federal bankruptcy or other statute, law or
regulation affecting creditors' rights; all or substantially all of Tenant's
assets are subject to judicial seizure or attachment and are not released within
30 days, or Tenant consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee,
receiver or liquidator for Tenant or for all or any substantial part of Tenant's
assets.
(f) Tenant fails, within ninety (90) days after the
commencement of any proceedings against Tenant seeking relief under any state or
federal bankruptcy or other statute, law or regulation affecting creditors'
rights, to have such proceedings dismissed, or Tenant fails, within ninety (90)
days after an appointment, without Tenant's consent or acquiescence, of any
trustee, receiver or liquidator for Tenant or for all or any substantial part of
Tenant's assets, to have such appointment vacated.
(g) Tenant fails to perform or comply with any provision of
this Lease other than those described in (a) through (f) above, and does not
fully cure such failure within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant or, if
such failure cannot be cured within such thirty (30)-day period, Tenant fails
within such thirty (30)-day period to commence, and thereafter diligently and
continuously proceeds with all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as
reasonably possible but in all events within ninety (90) days of such notice,
provided, however if such failure, by its nature, is not capable of being cured
within such ninety (90) day period, then Tenant shall have such additional time
to cure such failure so long as Tenant is diligently and continuously proceeding
with all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as reasonably possible.
15.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord
shall have the following remedies, which shall not be exclusive but shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedies now or hereafter
allowed by law:
(a) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises at any time by written notice to Tenant. Tenant expressly acknowledges
that in the absence of such written notice from Landlord, no other act of
Landlord, including re-entry into the Premises, efforts to relet the Premises,
reletting of the Premises for Tenant's account, storage of Tenant's personal
property and Trade Fixtures, acceptance of keys to the Premises from Tenant or
exercise of any other rights and remedies under this Section, shall constitute
an acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises or constitute a termination
of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. Upon such
termination in writing of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, as
herein provided, this Lease shall terminate and Landlord shall be entitled to
recover damages from Tenant as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2
and any other applicable existing or future Law providing for recovery of
damages for such breach, including the worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder for the remainder
of the Term after the date of the award of damages, including Additional Rent as
reasonably estimated by Landlord, exceeds the amount of such rental loss as
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, discounted at the discount
rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for member banks at
the time of the award plus one percent (1%).
(b) Landlord shall have the remedy described in California
Civil Code Section 1951.4 (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).
(c) Landlord may cure the Event of Default at Tenant's
expense. If Landlord pays any sum or incurs any expense in curing the Event of
Default, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount of such
payment or expense with interest at the Interest Rate from the date the sum is
paid or the expense is incurred until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.
-24-
<PAGE>
(d) Landlord may remove all Tenant's property from the
Premises, and such property may be stored by Landlord in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the sole cost and for the account of Tenant. If Landlord does not
elect to store any or all of Tenant's property left in the Premises, Landlord
may consider such property to be abandoned by Tenant, and Landlord may thereupon
dispose of such property in any manner deemed appropriate by Landlord in
accordance with applicable Law. Any proceeds realized by Landlord on the
disposal of any such property shall be applied first to offset all expenses of
storage and sale, then credited against Tenant's outstanding obligations to
Landlord under this Lease, and any balance remaining after satisfaction of all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be delivered to Tenant.
15.3 Events of Default by Landlord. It shall constitute an "Event of
Default" by Landlord if (a) Landlord fails to perform or comply with the
provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease, (b) such failure materially and
adversely affects Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, and (c) Landlord
does not fully cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice
("Notice of Self-Help") thereof from Tenant to Landlord (with a copy of the
Notice of Self-Help being simultaneously given by Tenant to any Mortgagee whose
address has been provided to Tenant), or, if such failure cannot be cured within
such thirty (30) day period, Landlord fails within such thirty (30) day period
to commence, and thereafter diligently proceed with, all actions reasonably
necessary to cure such failure as soon as reasonably possible; it being
understood that if Landlord has a valid warranty claim against the contractor
who originally constructed the part of the Building which is the cause of
Landlord's failure to perform or comply with the provisions of Section 7.2 of
this Lease, then Landlord shall have such time as is reasonably necessary to
enforce such warranty claim. Tenant's Notice of Self-Help must specifically and
comprehensively identify that which Tenant claims Landlord is failing to perform
or to comply with under Section 7.2 of this Lease, and must state that Tenant
intends to take such self-help action pursuant to Section 15.4 of the Lease if
Landlord fails to take action within the time contained in Section 15.3 of the
Lease. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord agrees to make reasonable efforts to
promptly commence and diligently proceed with all actions reasonably necessary
to cure any Landlord Event of Default within a reasonable time following receipt
of any Notice of Self-Help.
15.4 Tenant's Remedies for Default by Landlord. The following rights
set forth in this Section 15.4 shall not be available to any sublessee of the
Premises, or any portion thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by
Landlord, Tenant may, in addition to any rights at law or in equity, which have
not been otherwise waived or released by Tenant under this Lease, perform such
work as is reasonably necessary to cure Landlord's failure to perform or comply
with the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease if (a) Tenant delivers to
Landlord a second notice ("Tenant's Cure Commencement Notice") (with a copy of
Tenant's Cure Commencement Notice being simultaneously given by Tenant to any
Mortgagee whose address has been provided to Tenant), advising Landlord that
Tenant intends to take the required action if Landlord does not complete the
repair required of Landlord under Section 7.2 of this Lease within ten (10) days
after Tenant's Cure Commencement Notice, and (b) Landlord fails to complete the
required work within said ten (10) day period; provided, that for those failures
which cannot be cured within thirty (30) days following any Notice of Self Help,
Tenant shall not have the right to give any Cure Commencement Notice so long as
Landlord has commenced curing such failure within such thirty (30) day period,
and is diligently proceeding with all actions reasonably necessary to cure such
failure as soon as reasonably possible. Tenant's Cure Commencement Notice shall
specify in reasonable detail what work Tenant intends to do, or to be caused to
be done, with the estimated cost thereof from the contractor who will be
performing such work. In performing any such work under this Section 15.4,
Tenant shall use only the services of qualified, licensed and insured commercial
contractors, who have experience working on properties similar to the Project,
and whose quality of work is at least as good as the quality of the original
work in the Project. All work done in accordance with this Section must be
performed at a reasonable and competitive cost. If Landlord does not reimburse
Tenant for the reasonable costs, plus interest, incurred by Tenant pursuant to
the provisions of this Section within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to
Landlord written demand for payment along with a reasonably detailed breakdown
of such costs (including lien waivers from the contractor and all subcontractors
and suppliers relating to such work), then either party shall have the right to
submit to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Section 33 hereinbelow (a)
the necessity of the service, repair or compliance, (b) whether Landlord was
obligated to perform the service, repair or compliance, and did not do so, and
(c) whether the self-help costs incurred by Tenant were reasonable.
16. LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST.
16.1 Late Charge. If any payment of rent is not received by Landlord
when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand as a late charge ("Late
Charge") an additional amount equal to four percent (4%) of the
-25-
<PAGE>
overdue payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to
pay a Late Charge on the first payment of rent not received by Landlord when due
in any consecutive twelve (12) month period unless Tenant does not pay such rent
within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord (the "Past Due Notice")
that such payment of rent is past due. Tenant shall pay the Late Charge to
Landlord on demand commencing with the second (2nd) past due payment in any
twelve (12) month period, and continuing with each past due payment thereafter
in such twelve (12) month period. A Late Charge shall not be imposed more than
once on any particular installment not paid when due, but imposition of a Late
Charge on any payment not made when due does not eliminate or supersede late
charges imposed on other (prior) payments not made when due or preclude
imposition of a late charge on other installments or payments not made when due.
16.2 Interest. In addition to the late charges referred to above, which
are intended to defray Landlord's costs resulting from late payments, any
payment from Tenant to Landlord not paid within five (5) days of the date when
due shall at Landlord's option bear interest from the date due until paid to
Landlord by Tenant at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum
lawful rate that Landlord may charge to Tenant under applicable laws, whichever
is less (the "Interest Rate"). Acceptance of any late charge and/or interest
shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue
sum or prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies
under this Lease.
17. WAIVER. No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party
unless such waiver is in a writing signed by the waiving party. The waiver by
either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a
waiver of such provision or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other
provision of this Lease. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or
remedy of either party upon any default by the other party shall impair such
right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Landlord's acceptance of any
payments of rent due under this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any
default by Tenant under this Lease (including Tenant's recurrent failure to
timely pay rent) other than Tenant's nonpayment of the accepted sums, and no
endorsement or statement on any check or on any letter accompanying any check or
payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. The consent to or approval
by either party of any act by the other party requiring the first party's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the
consenting or approving party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by
the other party.
18. ENTRY, INSPECTION AND CLOSURE. Upon reasonable oral or written notice to
Tenant (and without notice in emergencies), Landlord and its authorized
representatives may enter the Premises at all reasonable times to: (a) determine
whether the Premises are in good condition, (b) determine whether Tenant is
complying with its obligations under this Lease, (c) perform any maintenance or
repair of the Premises or the Building that Landlord has the right or obligation
to perform, (d) serve, post or keep posted any notices required or allowed under
the provisions of this Lease, (e) show the Premises to prospective brokers,
agents, buyers, transferees, or Mortgagees, or (f) do any other act or thing
necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the Building. In
addition, upon prior oral or written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the
right during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, to show the Premises to
prospective tenants. When reasonably necessary Landlord may temporarily close
entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities in the Building
without liability to Tenant by reason of such closure. Landlord shall conduct
its activities under this Section in a manner that will minimize inconvenience
to Tenant without incurring additional expense to Landlord. In no event shall
Tenant be entitled to an abatement of rent on account of any entry by Landlord,
and Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, loss of
business or other damage to Tenant or other persons arising out of Landlord's
entry on the Premises in accordance with this Section. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Tenant may
have, if as a result of Landlord's gross negligence or wilful misconduct arising
out of Landlord's entry into the Premises, Tenant is prevented from reasonably
using any material portion of the Premises for a period of three (3) consecutive
Business Days and Tenant in fact ceases to use such portion of the Premises for
three (3) consecutive Business Days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an
abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the portion of the
Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of Landlord's gross
negligence or wilful misconduct in entering the Premises commencing on the
fourth (4th) Business Day following the occurrence of such entry and continuing
until Tenant is no longer prevented from using such portion of the Premises. No
action by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute an eviction of
Tenant, constructive or otherwise, entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent or to
terminate this Lease or otherwise release Tenant from any of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease.
-26-
<PAGE>
19. SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER.
19.1 Surrender. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall surrender the Premises and all Tenant Improvements and Alterations
to Landlord broom-clean and in their original condition, except for reasonable
wear and tear, damage from casualty or condemnation and any changes resulting
from approved Alterations; provided, however, that prior to the expiration or
termination of this Lease Tenant shall remove all telephone and other cabling
located above and below ceilings, in chases and in risers and installed in the
Project by Tenant and remove from the Premises all Tenant's personal property
and any Trade Fixtures and all Alterations that Landlord has elected to require
Tenant to remove as provided in Section 6.1 - Tenant Improvements & Alterations,
and repair any damage caused by such removal. If such removal is not completed
before the expiration or termination of the Term, Landlord shall have the right
(but no obligation) to remove the same, and Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand
for all costs of removal and storage thereof. Landlord shall also have the right
to retain or dispose of all or any portion of such property if Tenant does not
pay all such costs and retrieve the property within ten (10) days after notice
from Landlord (in which event title to all such property described in Landlord's
notice shall be transferred to and vest in Landlord). Tenant waives all Claims
against Landlord for any damage or loss to Tenant resulting from Landlord's
removal, storage, retention, or disposition of any such property. Upon
expiration or termination of this Lease or of Tenant's possession, whichever is
earliest, Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises or any other part of
the Building and shall deliver to Landlord all keys for or make known to
Landlord the combination of locks on all safes, cabinets and vaults that may be
located in the Premises. Tenant's obligations under this Section shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Lease.
19.2 Holding Over. If Tenant (directly or through any Transferee or
other successor-in-interest of Tenant) remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant's continued possession
shall be on the basis of a tenancy at the sufferance of Landlord. No act or
omission by Landlord, other than its specific written consent, shall constitute
permission for Tenant to continue in possession of the Premises, and if such
consent is given or declared to have been given by a court judgment, Landlord
may terminate Tenant's holdover tenancy at any time upon seven (7) days written
notice. In such event, Tenant shall continue to comply with or perform all the
terms and obligations of Tenant under this Lease, except that the monthly Base
Rent during Tenant's holding over shall be one hundred seventy-five percent
(175%) of the Base Rent payable in the last full month prior to the termination
hereof. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after such termination shall not
constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease; and nothing contained in this
provision shall be deemed to waive Landlord's right of re-entry or any other
right hereunder or at law. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
harmless from and against all Claims arising or resulting directly or indirectly
from Tenant's failure to timely surrender the Premises, including (i) any rent
payable by or any loss, cost, or damages claimed by any prospective tenant of
the Premises, and (ii) Landlord's damages as a result of such prospective tenant
rescinding or refusing to enter into the prospective lease of the Premises by
reason of such failure to timely surrender the Premises.
20. ENCUMBRANCES.
20.1 Subordination. This Lease is expressly made subject and
subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, underlying lease or
like encumbrance affecting any part of the Property or any interest of Landlord
therein which is now existing or hereafter executed or recorded ("Encumbrance");
provided, however, that such subordination shall only be effective, as to future
Encumbrances, if the holder of the Encumbrance agrees that this Lease shall
survive the termination of the Encumbrance by lapse of time, foreclosure or
otherwise and such holder agrees to recognize the rights of Tenant under the
Lease, all so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any
applicable notice and cure period. Provided the conditions of the preceding
sentence are satisfied, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within ten
(10) days after written request therefor by Landlord and in a form reasonably
requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the subordination of
this Lease with respect to any such Encumbrance and the nondisturbance agreement
of the holder of any such Encumbrance. If the interest of Landlord in the
Project is transferred pursuant to or in lieu of proceedings for enforcement of
any Encumbrance, Tenant shall immediately and automatically attorn to the new
owner, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease
between the transferee and Tenant on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Lease. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the Executed Lease
Delivery Date, there is no Encumbrance on Landlord's interest in the Property.
20.2 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give any holder of any
Encumbrance covering any part of the Project ("Mortgagee"), by registered mail,
a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that
-27-
<PAGE>
prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice of
assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee.
If Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days from
the effective date of such notice of default, then the Mortgagee shall have an
additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default
cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary
to cure such default (including the time necessary to foreclose or otherwise
terminate its Encumbrance, if necessary to effect such cure), and this Lease
shall not be terminated so long as such remedies are being diligently pursued.
21. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
21.1 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) days after written request
therefor, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in a form provided by or
satisfactory to Landlord, a certificate stating that this Lease is in full force
and effect, describing any amendments or modifications hereto, acknowledging
that this Lease is subordinate or prior, as the case may be, to any Encumbrance
and stating any other information Landlord may reasonably request, including the
Term, the monthly Base Rent, the date to which Rent has been paid, the amount of
any security deposit or prepaid rent, whether either party hereto is in default
under the terms of the Lease, and whether Landlord has completed its
construction obligations hereunder (if any). If Tenant fails timely to execute
and deliver such certificate as provided above, then Landlord and the addressee
of such certificate shall be entitled to rely upon the information contained in
the certificate submitted to Tenant as true, correct and complete, and Tenant
shall be estopped from later denying, contradicting or taking any position
inconsistent with the information contained in such certificate. Any person or
entity purchasing, acquiring an interest in or extending financing with respect
to the Project shall be entitled to rely upon any such certificate. If Tenant
fails to deliver such certificate within ten (10) days after Landlord's second
written request therefor, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damages
incurred by Landlord including any profits or other benefits from any financing
of the Project or any interest therein which are lost or made unavailable as a
result, directly or indirectly, of Tenant's failure or refusal to timely execute
or deliver such estoppel certificate.
21.2 Financial Statements.
(a) During Time Guaranty is in Effect. So long as the Guaranty is in
effect, and Tenant's financial statements are included in the consolidated
financial statements of Guarantor, then within ten (10) days after written
request therefor, but not more than once a year, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a copy of the consolidated financial statements (including at least a
year end balance sheet and a statement of profit and loss) of Guarantor for each
of the three most recently completed years, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (and, if such is Tenant's normal
practice, audited by an independent certified public accountant), all then
available subsequent interim statements, and such other financial information as
may reasonably be requested by Landlord or required by any Mortgagee; provided,
however, so long as Guarantor is a publicly traded company, then the
requirements of this Section 21.2 (a) shall be satisfied by delivery of
Guarantor's publicly available financial information.
(b) During Time Following Termination of Guaranty. If (i) Guarantor has
terminated the Guaranty pursuant to the provisions of Section 42 hereinbelow, or
(ii) Tenant's financial statements are not included in Guarantor's consolidated
financial statements, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant a
written request therefor in connection with any (a) financing or proposed
financing of the Property and/or Project by Landlord, or (b) any sale, or
proposed sale of the Property and/or Project by Landlord, but not more than once
a year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the financial statements
(including at least a year end balance sheet and a statement of profit and loss)
of Tenant (and of each guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease) for
each of the three most recently completed years, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (and, if such is Tenant's normal
practice, audited by an independent certified public accountant), all then
available subsequent interim statements, and such other financial information as
may reasonably be requested by Landlord or required by any Mortgagee.
22. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, request, consent or approval that either party
desires or is required to give to the other party under this Lease shall be in
writing and shall be delivered by messenger or courier service providing written
receipt of delivery, or sent by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party, including the named addressee, at
the party's address for notices, as set forth in the Basic Lease Information.
Any notice required pursuant to any Laws may be incorporated into, given
concurrently
-28-
<PAGE>
with or given separately from any notice required under this Lease provided that
any notices required pursuant to any Laws must be served upon and delivered to
Tenant in accordance with the requirements of such Laws. Notices shall be deemed
to have been given and be effective on the earlier of (a) receipt (or refusal of
delivery or receipt); or (b) one (1) Business Day after acceptance by the
independent service for delivery, if sent by independent messenger or courier
service, or three (3) Business Days after mailing if sent by mail in accordance
with this Section. Either party may change its address for notices hereunder,
effective fifteen (15) days after notice to the other party complying with this
Section. If Tenant sublets the Premises, notices from Landlord shall be
effective on the subtenant when given to Tenant pursuant to this Section.
23. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant in
any way related to this Lease, and whether involving contract and/or tort
claims, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses of any type, without
restriction by statute, court rule or otherwise, incurred by the prevailing
party in connection with any action or proceeding (including any appeal and the
enforcement of any judgment or award), whether or not the dispute is litigated
or prosecuted to final judgment (collectively, "Fees"). The "prevailing party"
shall be determined based upon an assessment of which party's major arguments or
positions taken in the action or proceeding could fairly be said to have
prevailed (whether by compromise, settlement, abandonment by the other party of
its claim or defense, final decision, after any appeals, or otherwise) over the
other party's major arguments or positions on major disputed issues. Any Fees
incurred in enforcing a judgment shall be recoverable separately from any other
amount included in the judgment and shall survive and not be merged in the
judgment. The Fees shall be deemed an "actual pecuniary loss" within the meaning
of Bankruptcy Code Section 365(b)(1)(B), and notwithstanding the foregoing, all
Fees incurred by either party in any bankruptcy case filed by or against the
other party, from and after the order for relief until this Lease is rejected or
assumed in such bankruptcy case, will be "obligations of the debtor" as that
phrase is used in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(d)(3).
24. QUIET POSSESSION. Subject to Tenant's full and timely performance of all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease and subject to the terms of this Lease,
including Section 20 - Encumbrances, Tenant shall have the quiet possession of
the Premises throughout the Term as against any persons or entities lawfully
claiming by, through or under Landlord.
25. SECURITY MEASURES. Tenant shall be responsible for all security measures for
the Premises, such as the registration or search of all persons entering or
leaving the Buildings, requiring identification for access to the Buildings,
evacuation of the Buildings for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes,
the issuance of magnetic pass cards or keys for the Buildings to prevent any
threat of property loss or damage, bodily injury or business interruption.
Landlord shall have no security responsibility for the Premises or the Project.
Landlord, its agents and employees shall have no liability to Tenant or its
Representatives or Visitors for the implementation or exercise of, or the
failure to implement or exercise, any security measures for the Premises or the
Project, or for any resulting disturbance of Tenant's use or enjoyment of the
Premises.
26. FORCE MAJEURE. If either Landlord or Tenant is delayed, interrupted or
prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Lease (other than,
with respect to Tenant the payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other
charge payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date), including Landlord's obligations under the Construction
Rider and such delay, interruption or prevention is due to fire, act of God,
governmental act or failure to act, labor dispute, unavailability of materials
or any cause outside the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, then the time
for performance of the affected obligations of Landlord or Tenant, as the case
may be, shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay,
interruption or prevention. The inability to pay money shall in no event
constitute force majeure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, force majeure shall not
extend the time for (a) Tenant to terminate this Lease following (i) a fire or
other casualty, as provided in Section 12 of this Lease, or (ii) Condemnation,
as provided in Section 13 of this Lease, or (b) abatement of Rent or Tenant's
right to terminate this Lease resulting from the interference with Tenant's use
of the Premises due to the presence of Hazardous Materials, as more specifically
contained in Section 5.2 (h) of this Lease.
27. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall be bound by and shall comply with the
rules and regulations attached to and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit C to
the extent those rules and regulations are not in conflict with the terms of
this Lease, as well as any reasonable rules and regulations hereafter adopted by
Landlord for all tenants of the Project, upon notice to Tenant thereof
(collectively, the "Building Rules"). Landlord shall not be
-29-
<PAGE>
responsible to Tenant or to any other person for any violation of, or failure to
observe, the Building Rules by any other tenant or other person.
28. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, shall mean
only the owner or owners of the Building at the time in question. In the event
of any conveyance of title to the Building, then from and after the date of such
conveyance, the transferor Landlord shall be relieved of all liability with
respect to Landlord's obligations first arising and to be performed under this
Lease after the date of such conveyance. Notwithstanding any other term or
provision of this Lease, the liability of Landlord for Landlord's breach of its
obligations under this Lease is limited solely to (a) Landlord's interest in the
Property as the same may from time to time be encumbered, (b) any Rent prepaid
by Tenant to Landlord, (c) proceeds received by Landlord from Landlord's all
risk insurance policy covering the Building following a fire or other casualty
to the Premises or the Building, if Landlord materially misappropriates such
proceeds, and either (i) such proceeds are not used for repair or restoration in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of this Lease, or (ii) this Lease
is not terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of this Lease,
(d) Awards received by Landlord from Condemnation, if Landlord materially
misappropriates such Award, and either (iii) the Award is not used for
restoration in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of this Lease, or
(iv) this Lease is not terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section
13 of this Lease, and (e) subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 37 and 38
of this Lease, Tenant's Security Deposit or letter of credit given by Tenant to
Landlord; and no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable
against any other assets of Landlord or against Landlord's partners or members
or its or their respective partners, shareholders, members, directors, officers
or managers on account of any of Landlord's obligations or actions under this
Lease.
29. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS.
29.1 Determination in Good Faith. Wherever the consent, approval,
judgment or determination of Landlord is required or permitted under this Lease,
Landlord may exercise its good faith business judgment in granting or
withholding such consent or approval or in making such judgment or determination
without reference to any extrinsic standard of reasonableness, unless the
specific provision contained in this Lease providing for such consent, approval,
judgment or determination specifies that Landlord's consent or approval is not
to be unreasonably withheld, or that such judgment or determination is to be
reasonable, or otherwise specifies the standards under which Landlord may
withhold its consent. If it is determined that Landlord failed to give its
consent where it was required to do so under this Lease, Tenant shall be
entitled to injunctive relief but shall not to be entitled to monetary damages
or to terminate this Lease for such failure. If (a) Tenant requests Landlord's
consent to a Transfer, (b) Landlord withholds consent, and (c) Tenant believes
that Landlord unreasonably withheld consent to a Transfer in violation of the
provisions of Section 14 of this Lease, then Tenant shall be entitled to invoke
the arbitration provisions of the subsection 33 below to determine whether
Landlord unreasonably withheld consent to a Transfer, but Tenant shall not be
entitled to monetary damages.
29.2 No Liability Imposed on Landlord. The review and/or approval by
Landlord of any item or matter to be reviewed or approved by Landlord under the
terms of this Lease or any Exhibits or Addenda hereto shall not impose upon
Landlord any liability for the accuracy or sufficiency of any such item or
matter or the quality or suitability of such item for its intended use. Any such
review or approval is for the sole purpose of protecting Landlord's interest in
the Property, and no third parties, including Tenant or the Representatives and
Visitors of Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant,
shall have any rights as a consequence thereof.
30. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. Landlord and Tenant waive their respective
rights to trial by jury of any contract or tort claim, counterclaim,
cross-complaint, or cause of action in any action, proceeding, or hearing
brought by either party against the other on any matter arising out of or in any
way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, including any claim of injury or
damage or the enforcement of any remedy under any current or future law,
statute, regulation, code, or ordinance.
31. BROKERS. Landlord shall pay the fee or commission of the broker or brokers
identified in the Basic Lease Information (the "Broker") in accordance with
Landlord's separate written agreement with the Broker, if any. Tenant warrants
and represents to Landlord that in the negotiating or making of this Lease
neither Tenant nor anyone acting on Tenant's behalf has dealt with any broker or
finder who might be entitled to a fee or commission for this Lease other than
the Broker. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claim or
claims,
-30-
<PAGE>
including costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by Landlord asserted by
any other broker or finder for a fee or commission based upon any dealings with
or statements made by Tenant or Tenant's Representatives.
32. RELOCATION OF PREMISES. [Intentionally Deleted].
33. ARBITRATION OF SELECTED DISPUTES.
33.1. Disputes Subject to Arbitration. If any dispute arises between
Landlord and Tenant (a) as to whether Landlord has unreasonably withheld consent
under Subsection 6.1 - Alterations, Subsections 14.1 and 14.2 - Consent to
Assignment, or Subsection 15.3 and 15.4 - Landlord's Default of this Lease, or
(b) with respect to the number of days of Landlord Delay, Tenant Delay and force
majeure delay under Exhibit B - the Construction Rider (but not with respect to
any other force majeure delay), and such dispute is not resolved by the parties
within ten (10) days after either party gives written notice ("Arbitration
Notice") to the other of its desire to arbitrate such dispute, the dispute shall
be resolved solely by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section
33.2. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate in expediting the Arbitration of
any dispute subject to arbitration to achieve a prompt resolution of the
dispute. Any such arbitration shall be limited exclusively to the matters
described in the first sentence of this Section 33.1, and nothing in this
Section 33 shall be construed to require Landlord or Tenant to submit any other
dispute to arbitration or otherwise limit either parties substantive or
procedural remedies against the other party. In no event shall any provision of
this Section 33 in any way limit or delay exercise of Landlord's rights to
pursue an action in unlawful detainer upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
(as defined in Section 15.1 - "Events of Default").
33.2 Arbitration. Any dispute between the parties that is to be
resolved by arbitration as provided in Subsection 33.1 shall be settled and
decided by arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association, as then in effect, except as provided below. Any such arbitration
shall be held and conducted in San Mateo, California before a single arbitrator
(or three (3) arbitrators) who shall be selected as provided in this Section
33.2. Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to agree upon a single
arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon a single arbitrator
within fifteen (15) days after an Arbitration Notice is given, then each party
shall select one arbitrator and give the other party written notice of such
selection within twenty (20) days after the Arbitration Notice is given. Within
ten (10) days of their selection, the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall
mutually agree on the selection of a third (3rd) arbitrator. If either party
fails timely to give written notice of its selection, the arbitrator timely
selected and designated in writing by the other party shall be the sole
arbitrator.
The provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association shall apply and govern such arbitration, subject,
however, to the following:
(a) Any demand for arbitration shall be made by giving an
Arbitration Notice and shall be made within a reasonable time after the
claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen. In no event shall
the demand for arbitration be made after the date that institution of
legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other
matter would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
(b) Each arbitrator appointed shall be a former or
retired judge or attorney with at least seven (7) years' experience in
real property and commercial matters, or a nonattorney with like
experience in the area of dispute.
(c) At the request of either party (and at the expense of
the requesting party), proceedings involving the parties shall be
reported by a certified shorthand court reporter.
(d) The arbitrator (or arbitrators) shall prepare in
writing and provide to the parties factual findings and a statement of
the reasons on which the decisions of the arbitrator (or arbitrators) is
based.
(e) Final decision by the arbitrator (or arbitrators)
shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the arbitration
proceedings are initiated.
(f) The prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable
attorneys' fees, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the arbitration, and each party shall bear the costs and expenses of
-31-
<PAGE>
expert and nonexpert witnesses called or presented by such party, unless
for good cause otherwise determined by the arbitrator (or arbitrators).
(g) Costs and fees of the arbitrator (or arbitrators)
shall be split evenly between Landlord and Tenant, unless for good cause
otherwise determined by the arbitrator (or arbitrators).
(h) The arbitrator (or arbitrators) shall have no power
to: (i) add to, modify, detract from, or alter in any way the provisions
of this Lease or any amendments or supplements to this Lease; (ii) make
any award of punitive or exemplary damages; or (iii) resolve any disputes
that the parties have not specifically agreed to arbitrate under this
Lease or any amendments or supplements thereto.
(i) The award of decision of the arbitrator (or
arbitrators), which may include equitable relief, shall be final and
judgment may be entered on it in accordance with applicable law in any
court having jurisdiction over the matter.
34. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease, including the Exhibits and any Addenda
attached hereto, and the documents referred to herein, if any, constitute the
entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the leasing of
space by Tenant in the Project, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous
agreements, understandings, proposals and other representations by or between
Landlord and Tenant, whether written or oral, all of which are merged herein.
Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents have made any representations or
warranties with respect to the Premises, the Building, the Project or this Lease
except as expressly set forth herein, and no rights, easements or licenses shall
be acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise unless expressly set forth
herein. The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute an
option for the Premises and this Lease shall become effective as a binding
agreement only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord to Tenant. Upon
execution and delivery by Landlord and Tenant, this Lease shall be effective as
a binding agreement in accordance with and subject to all of the terms,
conditions and provisions set forth in this Lease.
35. MISCELLANEOUS. This Lease may not be amended or modified except by a writing
signed by Landlord and Tenant. Subject to Section 14 - Assignment and Subletting
and Section 28 - Landlord's Liability, this Lease shall be binding on and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, assigns and
legal representatives. The determination that any provisions hereof may be void,
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall not impair any other provisions hereof
and all such other provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect. The unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision of this
Lease under particular circumstances shall not render unenforceable, invalid or
illegal other provisions of this Lease, or the same provisions under other
circumstances. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with
the laws (excluding conflict of laws principles) of the State in which the
Building is located. The provisions of this Lease shall be construed in
accordance with the fair meaning of the language used and shall not be strictly
construed against either party, even if such party drafted the provision in
question. When required by the context of this Lease, the singular includes the
plural. Wherever the term "including" is used in this Lease, it shall be
interpreted as meaning "including, but not limited to" the matter or matters
thereafter enumerated. The captions contained in this Lease are for purposes of
convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or construe this Lease. If
more than one person or entity is identified as Tenant hereunder, the
obligations of each and all of them under this Lease shall be joint and several.
Time is of the essence with respect to this Lease, except as to the conditions
relating to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. Neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease; provided, that at the request of
either party, Landlord and Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver, in
recordable form, a Memorandum of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F
for recording in the Official Records of the County of San Mateo, California.
Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact (which
appointment shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease) with full
power of substitution to execute, acknowledge and deliver a notice of
termination of lease in Tenant's name if Tenant fails to do so within ten (10)
days after request therefor following expiration or termination of this Lease.
36. AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other form of business entity, each of the persons executing this
Lease on behalf of Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant is a duly
organized and validly existing entity, that Tenant has full right and authority
to enter into this Lease and that the persons signing on behalf of Tenant are
authorized to do so and have the power to bind Tenant to this Lease. Tenant
shall provide Landlord upon request with evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord confirming the foregoing representations. Landlord represents and
warrants that (i) Landlord is a validly formed limited liability company,
-32-
<PAGE>
which is duly authorized and existing and is qualified to do business in the
State of California; (ii) Landlord, and the individuals executing this Lease for
Landlord, have the right and authority to enter into this Lease; and (iii) this
Lease is binding upon Landlord in accordance with its terms.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have entered into this Lease as
of the date first above written.
