Said Proportionate Share may be recalculated by Landlord as may be required effective as at the commencement of any period to which the calculation is applicable in this Lease. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, Tenant’s Proportionate Share as to certain expenses may be calculated differently to yield a higher percentage share for Tenant as to certain expenses in the event Landlord permits other tenants in the Building to directly incur such expenses rather than have Landlord incur the expense in common for the Building (such as, by way of illustration, wherein a tenant performs its own janitorial services). In such case Tenant’s proportionate share of the applicable expense shall be calculated as

 

8


having as its denominator the Rentable Area of all floors rentable to tenants in the Building less the Rentable Area of tenants who have incurred such expense directly. In any case in which Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, incurs such expenses directly, Tenant’s proportionate share will be calculated specially so that expenses of the same character which are incurred by Landlord for the benefit of other tenants in the Building shall not be prorated to Tenant. Nothing herein shall imply that Landlord will permit Tenant or any other tenant of the Building to incur any Operating Costs. Any such permission shall be in the sole discretion of the Landlord, which Landlord may grant or withhold in its arbitrary judgment.

Real Estate Taxes” or “Taxes” mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Complex, or any portion thereof except for any personal property tax paid by Tenant for its personal property), which shall be paid or accrued during any Lease Year (without regard to any different fiscal year used by such governmental or municipal authority) because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Complex, or any portion thereof.

Taxes shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Complex’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies. Any reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Taxes shall be included in Taxes in the Lease Year such expenses are incurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there shall be excluded from Taxes all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building); (ii) any Operating Costs, (iii) interest or penalties on Taxes resulting from Landlord’s failure to pay Taxes when due, provided, Tenant makes all payments of Rent when due, (iv) any taxes which Tenant pays directly to the taxing authority, and (v) any items required to be paid by Tenant under Section 6.1. With respect to any special assessments which may be levied as part of the Taxes and which may be payable in installments over a period of time, only the amount of the installments due each year shall be included in the Taxes charged to Tenant, whether or not Landlord elects to pay in installments, provided that Landlord has the option of paying said assessment in installments over a period of time.

Under no circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common Areas be deemed to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the Common Areas. Any such storage shall be permitted only by the prior written consent of Landlord or Landlord’s designated agent, which consent may be revoked at any time. In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the property and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.

(a) Common Areas Changes. Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, from time to time to do the following, provided that such does not materially and unreasonably impair access to or the permitted use of the Leased Premises or the parking facilities:

 

10


(1) To make changes and reductions to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways;

Landlord may provide security for the Common Areas, but is not obligated to do so. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable or responsible for any acts or omissions of any party providing any services to the Common Areas, Building or other improvements, including, without limitation, any security service, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease.

(c) Parking. Tenant is allocated and shall have the non-exclusive and non-preferential right on an unassigned and unreserved basis to use not more than the number of parking spaces specified in Section 1.17 hereof (the “Parking Spaces”) for use by Tenant and Tenant’s Parties (hereinafter defined), during the Term of this Lease. The location of the Parking Spaces may be designated from time to time by Landlord. At no time, may Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties use more than the number of Parking Spaces specified above.

(1) General Procedures. The Parking Spaces initially will not be separately identified; however Landlord reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to separately identify by signs or other markings the area where Tenant’s Parking Spaces will be located. Landlord shall have no obligation to monitor the use of the parking area, nor shall Landlord be responsible for any loss or damage to any vehicle or other property or for any injury to any person except to the extent caused or arising out of the gross negligence of Landlord. Said Parking Spaces shall be used only for parking of automobiles no larger than full size passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles or small pick-up trucks. Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations which may be adopted by Landlord from time to time and uniformly applied to all similarly situated tenants to the extent Landlord has such right in its other leases with such tenants. Tenant shall not at any time use more parking spaces than the number allocated to Tenant or park vehicles or the vehicles of others in any portion of the Complex designated by Landlord as exclusive parking area for others. Tenant shall be responsible for and breach or violation by Tenant’s Parties of the parking regulations and requirements in this Lease. Tenant shall not have the exclusive right to use any specific parking space. If Landlord grants to any other tenant the exclusive right to use any particular parking space(s), Tenant shall not use such spaces. All

 

11


trucks (other than pick-up trucks) and delivery vehicles shall be (i) temporarily parked for loading and unloading in a location designated by Landlord and otherwise in a manner which does not interfere with the businesses of other occupants of the Complex, and (ii) permitted to remain on the Complex only so long as is reasonably necessary to complete loading and unloading. In the event Landlord elects in its sole and absolute discretion or is required by any law to limit or control parking in the Complex, whether by validation of parking tickets or any other method of assessment, Tenant agrees to participate in such validation or assessment program under such reasonable rules and regulations as are from time to time established by Landlord. Landlord may close off or restrict access to the parking areas from time to time to facilitate construction, alteration, or improvements, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease. Tenant shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations.

(2) Identification. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a list of its employees’ vehicle license numbers within fifteen (15) days after taking possession of the Leased Premises and thereafter shall notify Landlord of any changes within five (5) days after request by Landlord. Landlord also reserves the right to implement a system requiring that all employees of Tenant attach a parking sticker or parking permit to their vehicles.

(3) Remedies. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the parking provisions by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties may seriously interfere with Landlord’s operation of the Complex and with the rights or occupancy by other tenants of the Complex. Accordingly, Landlord may suffer damages that are not readily ascertainable. Therefore, if Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties use more than the number of allocated Parking Spaces, or park other than as designated by Landlord for the Parking Spaces, or otherwise fail to comply with any of the foregoing provisions, then Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity or under the Lease, may charge Tenant, as liquidated damages, Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per day for each violation during a calendar year after Tenant has been previously notified on two or more occasions during such calendar of a violation, or for each violation that is not cured within one day’s notice of such violation, and Tenant shall pay such charge within ten (10) days after request by Landlord. Each vehicle parked in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be deemed a separate violation. In addition, Landlord may immobilize and/or tow from the Complex any vehicle parked in violation hereof, and/or attach violation stickers or notices to such vehicle. The cost to remove any such vehicle shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after request by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right in its sole and absolution discretion to have the parking areas operated by a third party and Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of such parking operator.

At the request of Tenant, the parties have agreed that Tenant shall lease and occupy on a temporary basis approximately 2,256 square feet of Rentable Area in Suite 370 of the Building (the “Temporary Space”), as generally outlined in Exhibit B-1 attached hereto. Accordingly, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Temporary Space for a term commencing on the date that Tenant takes possession of the Temporary Space (the “Temporary Space Commencement Date”) and expiring on the Commencement Date (the “Temporary Space Term”). The Temporary Space shall be available to Tenant within two (2) business days after the date this Lease is fully executed and Tenant delivers to Landlord the first month’s advance rent as required under Section 5.2, the Letter of Credit (or cash Security Deposit pending delivery of the Letter of Credit), certificates of insurance satisfactory to Landlord evidencing the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease. The lease of the Temporary Space shall be subject to all other terms and provisions of this Lease, except as provided in this Section 3.5. During the Temporary Space Term and as applicable to the lease of the Temporary Space, all references in this Lease to the Leased Premises shall mean the Temporary Space. Prior to occupying or using all or any portion of the Temporary Space, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the certificates of insurance required under this Lease.

(a) Rent and Utility Costs for Temporary Space. During the Temporary Space Term, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Minimum Monthly Rent or Operating Costs for the Temporary Space.

 

12

Tenant shall make such payment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after request by Landlord each month. Tenant shall be responsible for arranging and paying for all of its telephone and telecommunication services for the Temporary Space.

(b) Condition of Temporary Space.

Any work and allowance including, without limitation, Landlord’s Allowance, to be performed or provided by Landlord in connection with the lease of the Leased Premises will not be applicable for the lease of the Temporary Space. In addition, Landlord shall relocate the existing furniture in Suite 275 at the Building to the Temporary Space for Tenant’s use during the Temporary Space Term. Tenant shall pay for the cost to relocate such furniture within ten (10) days after request by Landlord. Landlord makes no representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the condition of such furniture or its suitability for Tenant’s use, such use to be on an “as-is” basis. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to such personal property caused by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors. Such furniture shall remain the property of Landlord.

(c) No Alterations. Tenant shall not construct any improvements or alterations in the Temporary Space, except for the installation of telephone and electrical lines and other minor work, all of which shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Lease for the construction of alterations in the Leased Premises. The cost to construct any improvements or alterations by Tenant in the Temporary Space shall be paid by Tenant.

(d) Surrender of Temporary Space. Tenant shall vacate and surrender possession of the Temporary Space by the end of the Temporary Space Term, with time being of the essence, in broom clean condition, with all repairs and maintenance that would be required for surrender of the Leased Premises completed and with all of Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property removed. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is marketing the Temporary Space for lease by others. In reliance upon Tenant’s agreement to vacate and surrender possession of the Temporary Space on time, Landlord may enter into other commitments affecting the Temporary Space and may incur significant expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions and fees, legal or other professional fees, the costs of space planning and the costs of construction of improvements. Tenant acknowledges that all of said expenses, in addition to all other expenses incurred and actual and consequential damages suffered by Landlord, shall be included in measuring Landlord’s damages should Tenant fail to vacate and surrender possession on time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant does not vacate and surrender possession of the Temporary Space by the end of the Temporary Space Term (as the same may be extended as provided above), Tenant shall pay monthly base rent for the Temporary Space equal to at a monthly rate of $6,091.20 ($2.70 per square foot of Rentable Area in the Temporary Space) for the first thirty days and thereafter at the holdover rate of $9,136.80 per month; provided nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to grant Tenant any right to holder over in the Temporary Space beyond the end of the Temporary Space Term or delay the Commencement Date or the date by which Tenant must commence paying Rent for the Leased Premises.

4.2 Delivery of Leased Premises; Acknowledgment of Commencement.

(a) Delivery Conditions. Landlord shall satisfy each of the following conditions (collectively, the “Delivery Conditions”):

(1) Landlord shall have delivered the Leased Premises to Tenant vacant and free of any other possessory rights; and

(2) Landlord shall have substantially completed the Landlord’s Work (as defined in Section 4.5 below) and the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Exhibit C to this Lease, unless Tenant accepts possession prior to the date of substantial completion of such work; provided, however, if there is any delay in substantially completing Landlord’s Work or the Tenant Improvements, then Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed the date such work or improvements would have been substantially completed (or Substantially Completed for the Tenant Improvements) but for any Tenant Delays (as defined in Exhibit C).

(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Leased Premises to Tenant, Tenant and Landlord shall execute a written acknowledgment of the date of commencement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, and by this reference it shall be incorporated herein. The failure or delay by Landlord to request such acknowledgment or the failure or delay by Tenant in executing and delivery such acknowledgement shall not delay or extend the Commencement Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Commencement Date under Section 1.7 of this Lease, the words “take possession” or “accept possession” of the Leased Premises or words of similar import do not pertain to access during the Early Access Period, and refer solely to the actual occupancy of some or all of the Leased Premises by Tenant and the commencement of Tenant’s business activities from the Leased Premises.

4.3 Landlord’s Work and Pre-Term Possession. Landlord will allow Tenant to have access to the Leased Premises prior to the estimated date of completion of Landlord’s Work. The period of time prior to the Commencement Date during which Tenant may have early access and use of the Leased Premises under this Section 4.3 shall be referred to herein as the “Early Access Period.” Tenant agrees that it shall not in any way interfere with the progress of Landlord’s Work or the Tenant Improvements by such access. Should such access prove an impediment to the progress of Landlord’s Work or Tenant Improvements, in Landlord’s judgment,

 

14


Landlord may demand that Tenant forthwith vacate the Leased Premises until such time as Landlord’s Work and Tenant Improvements are complete, and Tenant shall immediately comply with this demand. During the Early Access Period, Tenant shall comply with all terms and conditions of this Lease during the course of any Early Access Period, except for the payment of Rent. As a condition to entering the Leased Premises during the Early Occupancy Period, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of insurance that Tenant is required to provide Landlord during the Term of this Lease.

4.4 Delay. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant by the Estimated Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event, there shall be no accrual of Rent for the period between the Estimated Commencement Date and the Commencement Date, except if the delay is due to a Tenant Delay.

4.5 Condition of the Space and Landlord’s Work. Tenant acknowledges it is leasing the Leased Premises in its AS IS condition without the construction of any improvements or the grant of any allowances other than the Tenant Improvements in accordance with Exhibit C and Landlord’s Work described in below. Landlord shall complete the following work in the Leased Premises (collectively, “Landlord’s Work”):

(a) installation of a demising wall to separate the Leased Premises from the adjacent space, which demising wall shall be sheet-rocked and taped, but not painted on the side facing the Leased Premises;

(b) removal of the existing furniture, trade fixtures and equipment from the Leased Premises, except for the furniture in the conference room and lateral files in Suite 275, as soon as is commercially reasonable after the date this Lease is fully executed by the parties; and

Within thirty (30) days following the later of the Commencement Date or the date that Tenant takes possession of the Leased Premises, Tenant may provide Landlord for its review and approval with a punch list which sets forth any corrective work to be performed by Landlord with respect to Landlord’s Work and/or the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and other sums under this Lease shall not be affected thereby. Landlord shall cause the contractor to complete the punch list items within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s and Landlord’s approval of the list of punch list items. If, however, any punch list items cannot reasonably be completed within the thirty (30) day period for any reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, Landlord shall promptly commence the completion of such punch list items and shall thereafter diligently prosecute the completion thereof. If Tenant fails to submit a punch list to Landlord within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant agrees that by taking possession of the Leased Premises it will conclusively be deemed to have inspected the Leased Premises and found the Leased Premises in satisfactory condition, with all work required of Landlord completed. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord, nor any agent, employee or servant of Landlord, has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to the Leased Premises, Building or Common Areas of the Complex, or with respect to the suitability of them to the conduct of Tenant’s business, nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modifications, alterations, or improvements of the Leased Premises, Building or Common Areas of the Complex, except as specifically provided in this Lease and the exhibits hereto.

4.6 Failure to Take Possession. Tenant’s inability or failure to take possession of the Leased Premises when delivery is tendered by Landlord shall not delay the Commencement Date of the Lease or Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent.

ARTICLE 5     MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT

5.1 Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the address specified in Section 1.1, or at such other place as Landlord may otherwise designate, as “Minimum Monthly Rent” for the Leased Premises the amount specified in Section 1.9 hereof, payable in advance on the first day of each month during the Term of the Lease. If the Term commences on other than the first day of a calendar month, the rent for the first partial month shall be prorated accordingly.

5.2 Advance Rent. The first full month’s rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease as advance rent, provided, however, that such amount shall be held by Landlord as an additional “Security Deposit” pursuant to this Lease until it is applied by Landlord to the first Minimum Monthly Rent due hereunder.

ARTICLE 6     ADDITIONAL RENT

6.1 Personal Property, Gross Receipts, Leasing Taxes. This section is intended to deal with impositions or taxes directly attributed to Tenant or this transaction, as distinct from taxes attributable to the Building or Common Areas of the Complex which are to be allocated among various tenants and others. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant or Tenant’s estate in this Lease or the property of Tenant situated within the Leased Premises which become due during the Term. On demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence of these payments. If such taxes are included in the bill for the Real Estate Taxes for the Building or Complex, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the amount of such taxes within ten (10) days after demand from Landlord.

6.2 Operating Costs, Taxes and Insurance.

(a) Base Year Increases. If the Operating Costs or Taxes for any Lease Year, calculated on the basis of the greater of (i) actual Operating Costs and Taxes; or (ii) as if the Building were at least ninety-five (95%) leased and occupied for the whole of such Lease Year, are more than the applicable Base Year Costs for Base Operating Costs and Base Taxes as set forth in section 1.10 (which Base Year Costs shall be calculated separately for each such category of Base Year Costs), unless Landlord and Tenant have agreed in writing to include all Base Year Costs without such separate allocation), Tenant shall pay to Landlord its Proportionate Share of any such increase in Operating Costs and/or Taxes, as the case may be, as additional Rent as hereinafter provided.

(b) Partial Year. If any Lease Year of less than twelve (12) months is included within the Term, the amount payable by Tenant for such period shall be prorated on a per diem basis (utilizing a thirty (30) day month, three hundred sixty (360) day year).

6.3 Method of Payment. Any additional Rent payable by Tenant under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof shall be paid as follows, unless otherwise provided:

(a) Estimated Monthly. Prior to the commencement of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as is commercially reasonable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Costs for each calendar year, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof. During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly in advance with its payment of Minimum Monthly Rent, one-

 

16


twelfth (l/12th) of the amount of such additional Rent as is so estimated by Landlord in advance, in good faith, to be due from Tenant. If at any time during the course of the fiscal year, Landlord determines that Operating Costs and/or Taxes are projected to vary from the then estimated costs for such items by more than ten percent (10%), Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise the estimated Operating Costs and/or Taxes for the balance of such fiscal year, and Tenant’s monthly installments for the remainder of such year shall be adjusted so that by the end of such fiscal year Tenant will have paid to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the such revised expenses for such year.

(b) Annual Reconciliation. Annually, within one hundred fifty (150) days after the expiration of each Lease Year, Landlord shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Tenant a comparative statement (the “Annual Statement”), which statement shall be conclusive between the parties hereto, setting forth (1) the Operating Costs and Taxes for such Lease Year, and (2) the amount of additional Rent as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and Taxes attributable to any Lease Year which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the expiration of the applicable Lease Year.

(c) Adjustment. If the aggregate amount of such estimated additional Rent payments made by Tenant in any Lease Year should be less than the additional Rent due for such year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor the amount of such deficiency. If the aggregate amount of such additional Rent payments made by Tenant in any Lease Year of the Term should be greater than the additional Rent due for such year, the amount of such excess will be applied by Landlord to the next succeeding installments of Rent due hereunder; and if the Term has expired and there is any such excess for the last year of the Term, the amount thereof will be refunded by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the last day of the Term or earlier expiration or termination of this Lease, to the extent not used to pay for any sum due from Tenant under this Lease.

6.4 Inspection. If Operating Costs and Taxes have increased in any Lease Year by more than five percent (5%) of the applicable amounts in the prior year (the “Increased Threshold”), then Tenant shall have the right as provided in this Section and at its own expense to inspect and copy (at Tenant’s expense) the books and records of Landlord pertaining to Operating Costs and Taxes once in any calendar year by any employee of Tenant or by a certified public accountant licensed in the State of California and mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (provided such certified public accountant charges for its service on an hourly basis and not based on a percentage of any recovery or similar incentive method). Tenant’s right to inspect such books and records is conditioned upon Tenant first paying Landlord the full amount billed by Landlord. If the Increased Threshold has been met, then Tenant shall have the right after notice to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of the Annual Statement of Tenant’s desire to inspect the books and records of Landlord pertaining to the year covered by such Annual Statement and the Base Year, except that the records for the Base Year will only be available for the first inspection undertaken by Tenant under this Section. Such inspection of records shall be done at the offices of Landlord or its property manager, and Tenant shall only have access to the books and records of Landlord pertaining solely to the Operating Costs and Taxes for the calendar year covered in such Annual Statement. All expenses of the inspection shall be borne by Tenant and must be completed within fifteen (15) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that such records are available for inspection. If Tenant’s inspection reveals a discrepancy in the comparative Annual Statement, Tenant shall deliver a copy of the inspection report and supporting calculations to Landlord within thirty (30) days after completion of the inspection. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to resolve the discrepancy within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the inspection report, either party may upon written notice to the other have the matter decided by an inspection by an independent certified public accounting firm approved by Tenant and Landlord (the “CPA Firm”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the inspection by the CPA Firm shows that the actual amount of Operating Costs or Taxes payable by Tenant is greater than the amount previously paid by Tenant for such accounting period, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days. If the inspection by the CPA Firm shows that the actual applicable amount is less than the amount paid by Tenant, then the difference shall be applied in payment of the next estimated monthly

 

17


installments of Operating Costs and/or Taxes owing by Tenant, or in the event such accounting occurs following the expiration of the Term hereof, such difference shall be refunded to Tenant. Tenant shall pay for the cost of the inspection by the CPA Firm, unless such inspection shows that Landlord overstated Operating Costs, Insurance Costs or Taxes by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay for the cost of the inspection by the CPA Firm.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any information revealed in the above described inspection may contain proprietary and sensitive information and that significant damage could result to Landlord if such information were disclosed to any party other than Tenant’s employees or accountants. Tenant shall not in any manner disclose, provide or make available any information revealed by the inspection to any person or entity without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE 7     ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

7.1 Acceptance of Payment. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount of Minimum Monthly Rent or any other sum due hereunder, shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due rent or payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or payment or pursue any other remedy available in this Lease, at law or in equity. Landlord may accept any partial payment from Tenant without invalidation of any contractual notice required to be given herein (to the extent such contractual notice is required) and without invalidation of any notice required to be given pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq., or of any successor statute thereto.

ARTICLE 8     SECURITY DEPOSIT OR LETTER OF CREDIT

8.1 Security Deposit - Payment on Lease Execution. If Landlord elects in its sole and absolute discretion to permit Tenant to deposit cash for a Security Deposit in lieu of a Letter of Credit, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the cash amount of the Security Deposit within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord that cash Security Deposit may be provided in lieu of the Letter of Credit. This sum is designated as a Security Deposit and shall remain the sole and separate property of Landlord until actually repaid to Tenant (or at Landlord’s option the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder), said sum not being earned by Tenant until all conditions precedent for its payment to Tenant have been fulfilled. As this sum both in equity and at law is Landlord’s separate property, Landlord shall not be required to (1) keep said deposit separate from his general accounts, or (2) pay interest, or other increment for its use. If Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges when due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including and not limited to Tenant’s obligation to restore or clean the Leased Premises following vacation thereof, Tenant, at Landlord’s election, shall be deemed not to have earned the right to repayment of the Security Deposit, or those portions thereof used or applied by Landlord for the payment of any rent or other charges in default, or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. Landlord may retain such portion of the Security Deposit as it reasonably deems necessary to restore or clean the Leased Premises following vacation by Tenant. The Security Deposit is not to be characterized as rent until and unless so applied in respect of a default by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Leased Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant.

If Landlord elects to use or apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit as provided in Section 8.1, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor pay to Landlord in cash, an amount

 

18


equal to that portion of the Security Deposit used or applied by Landlord, and Tenant’s failure to so do shall be a material breach of this Lease. The ten (10) day notice specified in the preceding sentence shall insofar as not prohibited by law, constitute full satisfaction of notice of default provisions required by law or ordinance.

If Tenant is unable to obtain the Letter of Credit at time of execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord cash in the amount of the Security Deposit pending delivery of the Letter of Credit. Landlord shall refund such cash Security Deposit to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Letter of Credit in the form and content required in Section 8.2 and all subsections thereof.

8.2 Letter of Credit. Within twenty one (21) days after the date that this Lease is fully executed, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (or that Landlord reasonably estimates it may suffer) as a result of any breach, default or failure to perform by Tenant under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby Letter of Credit (“Letter of Credit”), in the form as is acceptable to Landlord, payable at an office in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, running in favor of Landlord and issued by a solvent, nationally recognized bank with a long term rating of BBB or higher, under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a national banking association (an “Acceptable Issuing Bank”), in the amount of Security Deposit (the “Letter of Credit Amount”). Tenant shall pay all expenses, points, or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of Credit and any replacement Letter of Credit. The bank issuing the Letter of Credit (the “Bank”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be withheld by Landlord if the proposed Bank is an Acceptable Issuing Bank. If an Acceptable Issuing Bank is declared insolvent or taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any governmental agency for any reason or does not meet the standards to be approved an Acceptable Issuing Bank, Tenant shall deliver a replacement Letter of Credit from another Bank approved by Landlord that meets the standards for an Acceptable Issuing Bank within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank, or (ii) the date the Bank is declared insolvent or taken over for any reason by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. In addition, the Letter of Credit shall expressly provide for the following:

(1) shall be “callable” at sight, irrevocable, and unconditional;

(2) shall be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period from the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Term (as the Term may be extended). The Letter of Credit may be for one year period, provided the Letter of Credit is automatically extended for not less than a one year period unless the issuing Bank provides written notice to Landlord not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit that the issuing Bank will not renew or extend the Letter of Credit, in which case Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit not less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the then existing Letter of Credit held by Landlord without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord;

(3) shall be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors, and assignees of its interest in the Leased Premises;

(4) shall permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings; and

(5) shall be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (UCP600), or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (1998).

(a) Transfers. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord, its successors, and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person, or

 

19


entity, provided such transferee is the assignee of the Landlord’s rights and interests in and to this Lease and expressly assumes the same and Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, or to any lender providing financing to Landlord. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and Landlord shall then (provided such transferee assumes all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease), be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions of this Section shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of the Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents, and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection with any such transfer.

(b) Restoration. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after the drawdown by Landlord and notice thereof to Tenant, take such actions as are required to restore the Letter of Credit Amount, which may include providing a replacement Letter of Credit for the full Letter of Credit Amount, provided such additional Letter(s) of Credit or replacement Letter of Credit comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.2 and all subsections thereof of this Lease. If Tenant fails to comply with this requirement, such failure shall be deemed a rent default under Section 24.1(a) of this Lease, provided that if Landlord is prevented from delivering a notice of default to Tenant or otherwise declaring a default by Tenant for any reason, including, without limitation, because Tenant has filed a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant, under the Bankruptcy Code, then no such notice or declaration of default and cure period shall be required for a rent default under Section 24.1(a) of this Lease.

(c) Renewals. Tenant covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part of it and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal of the letter of credit (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than forty-five (45) days before the expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as required in Section 8.2 above through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date on the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 8.2 above, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank to draw on the Letter of Credit, and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds shall be deemed held by Landlord as security in accordance with applicable laws, but need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets. Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of this Lease the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, or not used to pay for any losses and damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.

(d) Draws. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance on the ability of Landlord to draw on the Letter of Credit on the occurrence of any breach, default or failure to perform on the part of Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant shall breach or fail to perform any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default under this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do

 

20


so, and without notice to Tenant, draw on the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s breach or default and to which Landlord is entitled under this Lease, including any damages that accrue upon termination of the Lease under the Lease and/or Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision. The use, application, or retention of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit, or any portion of it, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, following a draw properly made by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing on such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (1) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank; (2) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract; (3) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit; and (4) if Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim or rights to the Letter of Credit by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

In addition, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable:

(i) Landlord states that such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided that if Landlord is prevented from delivering a notice of default to Tenant for any reason, including, without limitation, because Tenant has filed a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant, under the Bankruptcy Code (hereinafter defined), then no such notice and cure period shall be required;

(ii) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar state law (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Code”);

(iii) Tenant has assigned any or all of its assets to creditors in accordance with any federal or state laws;

(iv) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, which petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date it is filed; provided, however, that if Tenant is still operating its business in the Leased Premises and this Lease has not been terminated, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit only to the extent such amount is due Landlord under the terms of this Lease or the guaranty of this Lease; or

(v) the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; or

(vi) the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank and Tenant has not delivered a replacement Letter of Credit form an Acceptable Issuing Bank within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank, or (ii) the date the Bank is declared insolvent or taken over for any reason by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

(e) Replacement. Tenant may, from time to time, replace any existing Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit if the new Letter of Credit:

 

21


(1) Becomes effective at least 30 days before expiration of the Letter of Credit that it replaces;

(2) Is in the applicable Letter of Credit Amount;

(3) Is issued by an Acceptable Issuing Bank or a Bank otherwise acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion; and

(r) Otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 8.2 and all subsections thereof.

(f) Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal of it or any proceeds applied by Landlord as provided in this Lease be (1) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (2) subject to the terms of Section 1950.7, or (3) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of Section 1950.7. Landlord and Tenant (1) agree that Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules, and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”) shall have no applicability or relevancy to the Letter of Credit, and (2) waive any and all rights, duties, and obligations either party may now or in the future have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.

8.3 Reduction. The amount of the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as the case may be, shall be reduced (i) by $50,000.00 after the end of the fourth (4th) year following the Commencement Date leaving a remaining Security Deposit or Letter of Credit of $100,000.00, and (ii) by $50,000.00 after the end of the fifth (5th) year following the Commencement Date leaving a remaining Security Deposit of $50,000.00; provided that in each case a default or breach by Tenant of any provision of the Lease does not then exist at the time of such reduction. If a default or breach does exist at the time of such reduction, then such reduction shall occur when such default or breach is cured. If Tenant is entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, Tenant shall provide written notice of such request to Landlord and if Tenant has met the requirements for a reduction, then Landlord will either refund the applicable amount of the reduction to Tenant if Landlord is holding a cash Security Deposit, or cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to either exchange the Letter of Credit for a new Letter of Credit in the reduced amount or accept an amendment to the Letter of Credit for the reduced amount. Tenant shall pay all costs and fees to the issuing Bank to issue a new Letter of Credit in the reduced amount or to amend the then existing Letter of Credit.

ARTICLE 9     USE

9.1 Permitted Use. The Leased Premises may be used and occupied only for the purposes specified in Section 1.12 hereof, and for no other purpose or purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no liability for any damage caused by the installation of such heavy equipment or safes.

 

22


9.3 Machinery. Business machines and mechanical equipment belonging to Tenant other than ordinary and customary office equipment which cause noise and/or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building or to any other leased space to such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or to any tenants in the Complex shall be placed and maintained by the party possessing the machines or equipment, at such party’s expense, in settings of cork, rubber or spring type noise and/or vibration eliminators, and Tenant shall take such other measures as needed to eliminate vibration and/or noise. If the noise or vibrations cannot be eliminated, Tenant must remove such equipment within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord.

Tenant’s obligation to comply with and observe such requirements, ordinances, statutes and regulations shall apply regardless of whether such requirements, ordinances, statutes and regulations regulate or relate to Tenant’s particular use of the Leased Premises or regulate or relate to the use of premises in general, and regardless of the cost thereof. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that any such requirement, ordinance, statute or regulation pertaining to the Leased Premises has been violated, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to make any capital improvements to the Structural portions of the Building, or to any base building HVAC, plumbing or electrical systems, or to any aspect of the Building or Complex which it is Landlord’s obligation to maintain under this Lease, or to comply with any such laws, except if such work is required due to Tenant’s particular use or change in use, any non-standard office alterations made by Tenant, or any non-standard office improvements included as part of the Tenant Improvements (each a “Tenant Activity”).

Landlord shall comply with such laws as the same pertain to the Common Areas of the Complex and the Building, other than the Leased Premises, except in respect of those matters in the Leased Premises for which Landlord is responsible in this Lease and those aspects of the Building or Complex which it is Landlord’s obligation to maintain, repair and replace under this Lease, and the cost such work shall be included in Operating Costs to the extent permitted under this Lease; provided, however, that any such work within the Leased Premises shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense if such work is then required to be done due to any Tenant Activity.

23


date of occupancy and without representation, warranty or covenant by Landlord, express or implied, as to the condition, habitability or safety of the Leased Premises, the suitability or fitness thereof for their intended purposes, or any other matter.

(c) Use of Hazardous Materials. Tenant agrees that during the Term of this Lease, there shall be no use, presence, disposal, storage, generation, leakage, treatment, manufacture, import, handling, processing, release, or threatened release of Hazardous Materials on, from or under the Leased Premises (individually and collectively, “Hazardous Use”) except to the extent that, and in accordance with such conditions as, Landlord may have previously approved in writing in its sole and absolute discretion. However, without the necessity of obtaining such prior written consent, Tenant shall be entitled to use and store only those Hazardous Materials which are (i) typically used in the ordinary course of business in an office for use in the manner for which they were designed and in such limited amounts as may be normal, customary and necessary for Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises, and (ii) in full compliance with Environmental Laws, and all judicial and administrative decisions pertaining thereto.

Landlord shall have the right at all times during the term of this Lease to (i) inspect the Leased Premises and to (ii) conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section. Except in case of emergency, Landlord shall give reasonable notice to Tenant before conducting any inspections, tests, or investigations. The cost of all

 

24


such inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne by Tenant if Tenant is in breach of Section 10.3 of this Lease. Neither any action nor inaction on the part of Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.3(e) shall be deemed in any way to release Tenant from, or in any way modify or alter, Tenant’s responsibilities, obligations, and/or liabilities incurred pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof.

10.4 Tenant’s Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees, contractors, property managers, agents and mortgagees and other lien holders, from and against any and all “Losses” (hereinafter defined) arising from or related to: (a) any violation or alleged violation by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties of any of the requirements, ordinances, statutes, regulations or other laws referred to in this Article 10, including, without limitation, the Environmental Laws; (b) any breach of the provisions of this Article 10 by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties; or (c) any Hazardous Use on, about or from the Leased Premises of any Hazardous Material approved by Landlord under this Lease.

ARTICLE 11     SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT

11.1 Climate Control. So long as Tenant is not in default under any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord shall provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) to the Leased Premises from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (the “Climate Control Hours”) on weekdays (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted) to maintain a temperature adequate for comfortable occupancy, provided that Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply climate control service when making repairs, alterations or improvements or when prevented from so doing by strikes or any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. If Tenant desires HVAC service outside of the Climate Control Hours, Tenant shall provide not less eight (8) hours prior notice (which must be given during normal business hours Monday through Friday, holidays excluded) to Landlord requesting such service.

Such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent following the property loss and until the time the Leased Premises are restored and Tenant has had a reasonable period, not to exceed thirty (30) days, to complete the installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, and equipment and any other work reasonably necessary to ready the Leased Premises for the operation of Tenant’s business and to move into the Leased Premises. Such reduction shall be based on the ratio that the square footage of the damaged portion of the Leased Premises bears to the total square footage of the Leased Premises. If the parties cannot agree within forty-five (45) days of the property loss, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Upon the resolution of the dispute, the settlement shall be retroactive and Landlord shall within ten (10) days thereafter refund to Tenant any sums due in respect of the reduced rental from the date of the property loss. Landlord’s obligations to restore shall in no way include any construction originally performed by Tenant or subsequently undertaken by Tenant, but shall include solely that property constructed by Landlord prior to commencement of the Term hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Leased Premises, Building and/or Complex requires that any insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon this Lease shall end on the date of such damage as if the date of such damage were the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.

19.3 Repair Costs. The cost of any repairs to be made by Landlord, pursuant to Section 19.2 of this Lease, shall be paid by Landlord utilizing available insurance proceeds. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon completion of the repairs for any deductible for which no insurance proceeds will be obtained under Landlord’s insurance policy, not to exceed $10,000.00 in any instance, if the damage was caused by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors, or if other premises are also repaired, a pro rata share based on total costs of repair equitably apportioned to the Leased Premises.

19.4 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives all statutory or common law rights of termination in respect to any partial destruction or property loss which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Article.

19.5 Landlord’s Election. In the event that the Complex or Building is destroyed to the extent of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Leased Premises be injured or not, in the same manner as in Section 19.1 above. In all events, a total destruction of the Complex or Building shall terminate this Lease.

 

34


19.6 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease there occurs a property loss to the Leased Premises and, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within the period that is the lesser of (A) one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of discovery of the damage, and (B) one-half of the then remaining Term, Landlord and Tenant each shall have the independent right to terminate the Lease by written notice delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such occurrence.

20.3 Partial Taking; Common Areas.

(a) If any portion of the Leased Premises is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant can elect to terminate this Lease if 20% or more of the total number of square feet in the Leased Premises is taken or access to the Leased Premises is materially impaired.

(b) If any part of the Common Areas of the Complex is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect so long as there is no material interference with the access to the Leased Premises or parking, except that if thirty percent (30%) or more of the Common Areas is taken by condemnation, Landlord or Tenant shall have the election to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section.

(c) If fifty percent (50%) or more of the Building in which the Leased Premises are located is taken, Landlord shall have the election to terminate this Lease in the manner prescribed herein.

The Terminating Party shall notify the Nonterminating Party of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Terminating Party has notified the Nonterminating Party of its election to terminate nor later than the date of taking. If Notice of Termination is not given within the Decision Period, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that Minimum Monthly Rent shall be reduced by subtracting therefrom an amount calculated by multiplying the Minimum Monthly Rent in effect prior to the taking by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of square feet taken from the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the number of square feet in the Leased Premises prior to the taking, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be reduced accordingly.

 

35


20.5 Restoration. If there is a partial taking of the Leased Premises and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to this Article, Landlord, at its cost, shall accomplish all necessary restoration so that the Leased Premises is returned as near as practical to its condition immediately prior to the date of the taking, but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more for such restoration than the extent of funds actually paid to Landlord by the condemnor.

20.6 Award. Any award arising from the condemnation or the settlement thereof shall belong to and be paid to Landlord except that Tenant shall receive from the award compensation for the following if specified in the award by the condemning authority: Tenant’s trade fixtures, tangible personal property, goodwill, loss of business and relocation expenses. At all events, Landlord shall be solely entitled to all awards in respect of the real property, including the bonus value of the leasehold.

Any Transfer of the Leased Premises without such consent shall (i) be voidable, and (ii) terminate this Lease, in either case, at the option of Landlord. The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not include consent to the assignment or transferring of any lease renewal option rights or space option rights of the Leased Premises, special privileges or extra services granted to Tenant by this Lease, or addendum or amendment thereto or letter of agreement (and such options, rights, privileges or services shall terminate upon such assignment), unless Landlord specifically grants in writing such options, rights, privileges or services to such assignee or subtenant.

21.4 When Consent Granted. The consent of Landlord to a Transfer may not be unreasonably withheld, provided that it is agreed to be reasonable for Landlord to consider any of the following reasons, which list is not exclusive, in electing to deny consent:

(a) The financial strength of the proposed transferee at the time of the proposed Transfer is not reasonably sufficient to satisfy its obligations under the Lease;

(b) A proposed transferee whose impact or affect on the common facilities or the utility, efficiency or effectiveness of any utility or telecommunication system serving the Building or the Complex or the other occupants of the Complex would be adverse, disadvantageous or require improvements or changes in any utility or telecommunication capacity currently serving the Building or the Complex;

(c) A proposed transferee whose occupancy will require a variation in the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, a variation in the use clause) or which otherwise adversely affects any interest of Landlord;

(d) The existence of any default by Tenant under any provision of this Lease;

(e) A proposed transferee who is or is likely to be, or whose business is or is likely to be, subject to compliance with additional laws or other governmental requirements beyond those to which Tenant or Tenant’s business is subject and would require additional work or improvements to the Complex;

(f) the proposed Transferee is a governmental agency or unit, a non-profit or charitable entity or organization or an existing tenant in the Complex;

(i) the portion of the Leased Premises to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress.

(b) The Transfer is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease;

(c) If the Transfer is an assignment, Transferee assumes in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease relating to the Leased Premises; and

(d) The Transferor and Transferee have a combined tangible net worth, as evidenced by financial statements delivered to Landlord and certified by an independent certified public accountant (“Net Worth”), at least equal to Tenant’s Net Worth immediately before the Transfer.

For purposes hereof, the term “Affiliate” means any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. The term “control” means the ability to direct, directly or indirectly, the management decisions and policies of such person or entity.

21.6 Procedure for Obtaining Consent. In the event Tenant desires to sublet, or permit such occupancy of, the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, or assign this Lease, and the proposed transaction requires Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord at least thirty (30) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the proposed commencement date of such subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the relevant terms of any sublease or assignment and copies of financial reports and other relevant financial information of the proposed subtenant or assignee. Landlord shall notify Tenant, within twenty (20) days after Landlord receives from Tenant request for consent to a transfer, together with the required documentation, whether or not Landlord consents to such Transfer. If Landlord does not respond within such twenty day period, Tenant may send a second written notice to Landlord requesting such consent. to such transfer, and the failure of Landlord to respond to such second written request within ten (10) days after receipt of such second request shall be deemed an approval of such requested Transfer. With respect to a Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent, Landlord need not commence its review of any proposed Transfer, or respond to any request by Tenant with respect to such, unless and until it has received from Tenant adequate descriptive information concerning the business to be conducted by the proposed transferee and the following additional information:

Landlord’s right to recapture under this Section 21.7 shall not be applicable to any Transfer to an Affiliate under Section 21.5.

21.8 Reasonable Restriction. The restrictions on Transfer described in this Lease are acknowledged by Tenant to be reasonable for all purposes, including, without limitation, the provisions of California Civil Code (the “Code”) Section 1951.4(b)(2). Tenant expressly waives any rights which it might otherwise be

 

38


deemed to possess pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 1997.040 of the Code, to limit any remedy of Landlord pursuant to Section 1951.2 or 1951.4 of the Code by means of proof that enforcement of a restriction on use of the Leased Premises would be unreasonable.

21.9 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer and does not elect to recapture as provided in section 21.7, the following conditions shall apply:

(a) Each and every covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Tenant by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit afforded Landlord by this Lease shall not be impaired or diminished as a result of such Transfer.

(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord on a monthly basis, fifty percent (50%) of all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Leased Premises is transferred, after deducting all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Tenant in connection therewith for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer, and (iii) any legal fees incurred in connection with the Transfer. The amount so derived shall be paid with Tenant’s payment of Minimum Monthly Rent.

(c) No Transfer, whether or not consent of Landlord is required hereunder, shall relieve Tenant of its primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be consent to any Transfer of the Leased Premises.

(d) If Landlord consents to a sublease, such sublease shall not extend beyond the expiration of the Term of this Lease.

(e) No Transfer shall be valid and no transferee shall take possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof unless, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Transfer, a duly executed duplicate original of the Transfer instrument in form satisfactory to Landlord which provides that (i) the transferee assumes Tenant’s obligations for the payment of rent and for the full and faithful observance and performance of the covenants, terms and conditions contained herein, (ii) such transferee will, at Landlord’s election, attorn directly to Landlord in the event Tenant’s Lease is terminated for any reason on the terms set forth in the instrument of transfer and (iii) such instrument of transfer contains such other assurances as Landlord reasonably deems necessary.

21.10 Costs. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for Landlord’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any proposed Transfer of the Leased Premises, whether or not consent is granted, not to exceed $2,500.00.

ARTICLE 22     ENTRY BY LESSOR

22.1 Rights of Landlord. Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlord’s agents and any mortgagee under a mortgage or beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the Building containing the Leased Premises and such party’s agents to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times, provided that such occurs during regular business hours (except for repairs and maintenance normally performed outside of regular business hours such as janitorial service) and provided that such are accompanied by a representative of Tenant, except for repairs and maintenance normally performed outside of regular business hours such as janitorial service, for the purpose (a) inspecting the same, (b) maintaining the Building, (c) making repairs, replacements, alterations or additions to any portion of the Building, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required, (d) posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs, and (e) placing upon the Building and in any areas outside the Building any usual or ordinary “for

 

39


sale” or “for lease” signs and showing the space to prospective purchasers, investors, lenders and during the last nine (9) months of the Term, tenants, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises thereby occasioned. This Section in no way affects the maintenance obligations of the parties hereto. Landlord shall provide at least 24 hours prior notice of such entry, except that no notice shall be required to perform normal and customary repairs and maintenance. Such notice may be communicated verbally and no such notice shall be required in an emergency; provided, however, that even in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of the entry as soon as is practicable.

ARTICLE 23     SIGNS

23.1 Approval, Installation and Maintenance. Tenant shall not place on the Leased Premises or on the Building or Common Areas of the Complex, any exterior signs or advertisements nor any interior signs or advertisements that are visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord reserves the right to withhold for any aesthetic or other reason in its sole and absolute discretion. The cost of installation and regular maintenance of any such signs approved by Landlord shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. At the termination of this Lease, or any extension thereof, Tenant shall remove all its signs, and all damage caused by such removal shall be repaired at Tenant’s expense.

23.2 Lobby and Suite Signage. Landlord will include Tenant’s name in the directory of the lobby in the Building containing the Leased Premises, and Landlord will pay for the initial cost to include Tenant’s name in such directory to the extent a directory exists. Any changes to Tenant’s name or its listing in such directory shall be at Tenant’s expense. At its expense, Landlord will also install a sign identifying Tenant’s name next to the main entrance door to the Lease Premises, which sign will be consistent with the Landlord’s standard suite signage for such purposes. Any change to such sign shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 24     DEFAULT

24.1 Definition. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

(a) Payment. Any failure by Tenant to pay the rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder after five (5) days prior written notice and opportunity to cure; provided, however, that such notice and cure period shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any three day notice to pay or quit under Section 1161, et. seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

(b) Other Covenants. A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period allowed, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall, within such thirty (30) day period, commence to cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any default by Tenant to comply with the terms and conditions contained in Article 15 (Liability Insurance), Article 16 (Insurance Policy Requirements and Insurance Defaults), Article 32 (Estoppel Certificates) and/or Section 33.25 (Financial Statements and Credit Reports) within five (5) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant after the expiration of any notice and cure period set forth therein shall be an immediate default without benefit of notice or opportunity to cure; or

(c) Receivership. Either (1) the appointment of a receiver (except a receiver appointed at the instance or request of Landlord) to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (2) a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (3) any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. In such event, Landlord may, at its option, declare this Lease terminated and forfeited by Tenant, and Landlord shall be entitled to immediate

 

40


possession of the Leased Premises. Upon such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate immediately and automatically by its own limitation.

ARTICLE 25     REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

25.1 Termination and Damages. In the event of any default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord herein or at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:

(a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom; and

(e) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the applicable law in the state in which the Leased Premises are located.

25.2 Definition. As used in subsections 25.1(a) and (b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in subsection 25.1(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank for the region in which the Complex is located at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

25.3 Intentionally Deleted.

25.4 Recovery of Rent; Reletting.

(a) If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 25.1 above, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, Landlord’s right from time to time, without terminating this Lease, to either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Leased Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiation of Landlord or other legal proceeding granting Landlord or its agent possession to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.

(b) In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises ; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and

 

41


payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.

(c) No reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises or any other action under this Section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.

(d) Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

25.5 No Waiver. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant’s default in this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages hereunder, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to mitigate damages hereunder.

25.6 Curing Defaults. Should Tenant fail to repair, maintain, and/or service the Leased Premises, or any part or contents thereof at any time or times, or perform any other obligations imposed by this Lease or otherwise, then after having given Tenant reasonable notice of the failure or failures and a reasonable opportunity which in no case shall exceed thirty (30) days, to remedy the failure, Landlord may perform or contract for the performance of the repair, maintenance, or other Tenant obligation, and Tenant shall pay Landlord for all direct and indirect costs incurred in connection therewith within ten (10) days of receiving a bill therefor from Landlord.

25.7 Cumulative Remedies. The various rights, options, election powers, and remedies of Landlord contained in this Article and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them exclusive of any others or of any legal or equitable remedy which Landlord might otherwise have in the event of breach or default, and the exercise of one right or remedy by Landlord shall not in any way impair its right to any other right or remedy.

25.8 Default By Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default or breach in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease unless Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within the shorter of the time for Landlord’s performance as provided in this Lease, a reasonable time for such performance and thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice thereof by or on behalf of Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s default (other than a monetary default) is such that more than thirty (30) days (or shorter period as may be provided in this Lease) are required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a default or breach under this Lease by Landlord if Landlord commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period (or shorter period as may be provided in this Lease) and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure to completion.

ARTICLE 26     BANKRUPTCY

26.1 Bankruptcy Events. If at any time during the term of this Lease there shall be filed by or against Tenant in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any state a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenant’s property, or if a receiver or trustee takes possession of any of the assets of Tenant, or if the leasehold interest herein passes to a receiver, or if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitions for or enters

 

42


into an arrangement (any of which are referred to herein as “a bankruptcy event”), then the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Assume or Reject. At all events any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or Tenant as debtor in possession (“debtor”) shall either expressly assume or reject this Lease within the earlier of one hundred twenty (120) days following the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or entry of an “Order for Relief” or such earlier period of time provided by law.

(b) Cure. In the event of an assumption of the Lease by a debtor, receiver or trustee, such debtor, receiver or trustee shall immediately after such assumption (1) cure any default or provide adequate assurances that defaults will be promptly cured; and (2) compensate Landlord for actual pecuniary loss or provide adequate assurances that compensation will be made for actual pecuniary loss; and (3) provide adequate assurance of future performance.

(c) Adequate Assurance. For the purposes of paragraph 26.1(b), adequate assurance of future performance of all obligations under this Lease shall include, but is not limited to:

(1) written assurance that rent and any other consideration due under the Lease shall first be paid before any other of Tenant’s costs of operation of its business in the Leased Premises is paid;

(2) written agreement that assumption of this Lease will not cause a breach of any provision hereof including, but not limited to, any provision relating to use or exclusivity in this or any other Lease, or agreement relating to the Leased Premises, or if such a breach is caused, the debtor, receiver or trustee will indemnify Landlord against such loss (including costs of suit and attorneys’ fees), occasioned by such breach;

(d) Landlord’s Obligation. Where a default exists under the Lease, the party assuming the Lease may not require Landlord to provide services or supplies incidental to the Lease before its assumption by such trustee or debtor, unless Landlord is compensated under the terms of the Lease for such services and supplies provided before the assumption of such Lease.

(e) Assignment. The debtor, receiver, or trustee may assign this Lease only if adequate assurance of future performance by the assignee is provided, whether or not there has been a default under the Lease. Any consideration paid by any assignee in excess of the rental reserved in the Lease shall be the sole property of, and paid to, Landlord. Upon assignment by the debtor or trustee, the obligations of the Lease shall be deemed to have been assumed, and the assignee shall execute an assignment agreement on request of Landlord.

(f) Fair Value. Landlord shall be entitled to the fair market value for the Leased Premises and the services provided by Landlord (but in no event less than the rental reserved in the Lease) subsequent to the commencement of a bankruptcy event.

ARTICLE 27     SURRENDER OF LEASE

27.1 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work as a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

ARTICLE 28     LANDLORD’S EXCULPATION

28.1 Limited Liability. Redress for any claim against Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to and enforceable only against and to the extent of Landlord’s interest in the Building and any insurance and condemnation proceed related thereto. The obligations of Landlord shall not be personally binding on, nor shall any resort be had to the private properties of, any of its or its investment manager’s trustees, directors, officers, partners, beneficiaries, members, stockholders, employees, or agents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, neither Tenant nor Landlord will be liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, loss of, injury to, or interference with, the other’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits and special and exemplary damages, however occurring, other than those damages incurred by Landlord in connection with a holdover of the Leased Premises by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease which might sometimes be referred to as a business loss and other than Landlord’s right to Rent as provided in Article 25.

ARTICLE 29     ATTORNEYS’ FEES

29.1 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or arbitration (if each party in its sole and absolute discretion elects to use arbitration) proceeding between the parties with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses, including without limitation, all reasonable professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid or reimbursed by the other party. The “prevailing party” means the party determined by the court or arbitrator (if the parties elected to use arbitration) to have most nearly prevailed, even if such party did not prevail in all matters, not necessarily the one in whose favor a judgment is rendered.

ARTICLE 30     NOTICES

30.1 Writing. All notices, demands and requests required or permitted to be given or made under any provision of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be given or made by personal service or by mailing same by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or overnight by Fed Ex or reputable courier which provides written evidence of delivery or other means of confirmation of delivery (such as computer confirmation by Fed Ex), or by facsimile with facsimile confirmation that the notice was sent, addressed to the respective party at the address set forth in Section 1.2 of this Lease or at such other address as the party may from time to time designate, by a written notice sent to the other in the manner aforesaid.

30.2 Effective Date. Any such notice, demand or request (“notice”) shall be deemed given or made on the third day after the date so mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice given by personal delivery or by fax to the party at its address or fax number as aforesaid shall be deemed given on the day on which delivery is made or the fax is sent, respectively. Notice given overnight by a reputable courier service which provides written evidence of delivery shall be deemed given on the business day immediately following deposit with the courier service.

30.3 Authorization to Receive. Each person and/or entity whose signature is affixed to this Lease as Tenant or as guarantor of Tenant’s obligations (“obligor”) designates such other obligor its agent for the purpose of receiving any notice pertaining to this Lease or service of process in the event of any litigation or dispute arising from any obligation imposed by this Lease.

ARTICLE 31     SUBORDINATION AND FINANCING PROVISIONS

31.1 Priority of Encumbrances. This Lease is subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Leased Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice

 

44


thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

Landlord has informed Tenant that the Complex is encumbered by an existing deed of trust (“Existing Deed of Trust”). At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Landlord shall request the beneficiary (or its servicer) of the Existing Deed of Trust that encumbers the Complex as of the date hereof to issue such beneficiary’s standard subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”). Landlord shall only make the request and follow the procedure required by the beneficiary of the Existing Deed of Trust, but it shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such SNDA, including the payment of any administrative processing or legal fee that may be charged the such beneficiary and the fee for such lender’s outside legal counsel to prepare such document. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of any fees, costs and charges, including fees for such lender’s legal counsel. Obtaining the SNDA is not a condition precedent or subsequent to this Lease. The failure of such beneficiary to issue its SNDA shall not be a breach or default by Landlord nor relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease.

31.2 Execution of Documents. Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to further effectuate such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, if requested by Landlord or any lender.

31.3 Attornment. If the holder of any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or security described above (or its successor-in-interest), enforces its remedies provided by law or under the pertinent mortgage, deed of trust or security instrument and succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall, upon request of any person succeeding to the interest of such lender as result of such enforcement, attorn to and recognize as its landlord and become the Tenant of said successor-in-interest without change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease or without the execution of any further instrument by Tenant, provided, however, that said successor-in-interest shall not be (i) bound by any payment of rent for more than thirty (30) days in advance, except prepayment in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, (ii) liable for any act or omission of any previous landlord (including Landlord), provided that as successor landlord it shall be obligated to cure any continuing default of the prior landlord of which it has received prior written notice and shall be liable for acts or omissions accruing or arising after such successor’s succession to the position of landlord and commencement of control and management of the Property, (iii) subject to any offset, defense, recoupment or counterclaim that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord), or (iv) liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) that has not, as such, been transferred to said successor-in-interest. Within ten (10) days after receipt of request by said successor-in-interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment, including a non-disturbance, attornment and subordination agreement in a form required by any such successor-in-interest.

31.4 Notice and Right to Cure Default. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed holders, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been expressly notified, in writing, of the address of such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease or within a reasonable period of time after Landlord’s receipt of such notice of such failure if no specific period of time is provided in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders 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 if, within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

 

45


ARTICLE 32     ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

32.1 Execution by Tenant. Within ten (10) days after receipt of written request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate acknowledging such facts regarding this Lease as Landlord may reasonably require, including without limitation, that to the extent of Tenant’s knowledge (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms and unmodified (or if modified, specifying the written modification documents); (ii) no default exists on the part of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease; (iii) there are no events which with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would create a default under this Lease; (iv) no rent in excess of one month’s rent has been paid in advance; (v) Tenant has not received any written notice of any other sale, assignment, transfer, mortgage or pledge of this Lease or the rent due hereunder; and (vi) Tenant has no defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against Landlord. Any such estoppel certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any lender and any prospective purchaser of the Building or Complex or any interest therein. Failure to comply with this Article shall be a material breach of this Lease by Tenant giving Landlord all rights and remedies under this Lease.

32.2 Financial Statements and Credit Reports. At Landlord’s request and if Tenant is not a publically traded corporation with financial statements readily available to the public online, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy, certified by an officer of Tenant as being a true and correct copy, of Tenant’s most recent audited financial statement, or, if unaudited, certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer as being true, complete and correct in all material respects. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to obtain one or more credit reports on Tenant at any time, and shall execute such further authorizations as Landlord may reasonably require in order to obtain a credit report.

ARTICLE 33     MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

33.1 Effect of Waiver. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any Lease provision by the other party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such Lease provision or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon strict performance by the other of this Lease of any of the terms and provisions of the Lease or any guaranty of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Lease or such guaranty, and Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by the other of any and all of them.

33.2 Holding Over. Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day Tenant retains possession of the Leased Premises or part of them after termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise at the rate (“Holdover Rate”) which shall be one Hundred fifty Percent (150%) of the Minimum Monthly Rent for the last period prior to the date of such termination plus Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs, Real Estate Taxes and Insurance then required to be paid hereunder, prorated on a daily basis, and also pay all damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention. If Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to such effect, such holding over shall constitute renewal of this Lease for a period from month to month the Holdover Rate, but if the Landlord does not so elect, no such renewal shall result notwithstanding acceptance by Landlord of any sums due hereunder after such termination; and instead, a tenancy at sufferance at the Holdover Rate shall be deemed to have been created. In any event, no provision of this Section 33.2 shall be deemed to waive Landlord’s right of reentry or any other right under this Lease or at law. Additionally, in the event that upon termination of the Lease, Tenant has not fulfilled its obligation with respect to repairs and cleanup of the Leased Premises or any other Tenant obligations as set forth in this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to perform any such obligations as it deems necessary at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and any time required by Landlord to complete such obligations shall be considered a period of holding over and the terms of this section shall apply.

 

46


33.3 Binding Effect. The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto; and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

33.4 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease with respect to each and every article, section and subsection hereof.

33.5 Release of Landlord. If, during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall sell its interest in the Building or Complex of which the Leased Premises form a part, or the Leased Premises, then in the event that the purchaser thereof expressly assumes the same, Landlord shall be released and discharged from any and all obligations and responsibilities under this Lease from and after the effective date of the sale or conveyance, except those already accrued.

33.6 Rules and Regulations. Landlord or such other person(s) as Landlord may appoint shall have the exclusive control and management of the Common Areas and Building and shall have the right, from time to time, to establish, modify, amend and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Tenant agrees to abide by and conform to all such rules and regulations to the extent they are uniformly applied to similarly situated tenants of the Building, and to cause its employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, and invitees to so abide and conform. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance with said rules and regulations by other tenants of the Building or Complex; provided, however, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the same against other similarly situated tenants to the extent Landlord has such right under the applicable leases with such other tenants, but Landlord shall not be required to terminate any lease or commence any litigation with any other tenant in connection therewith.

33.7 Intentionally Deleted.

33.8 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or any other payment due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the Leased Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rent, or any other payment due hereunder from Tenant is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of such rent or other charge as a late charge (provided, however, Landlord shall not charge Tenant a late charge for the first (1st) late payment made during any twelve (12) month period). The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord

33.9 Interest. Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid within fifteen (15) days when due shall bear interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted to be contracted for by law. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

33.10 Authorization to Execute. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said organization represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said organization in accordance with a duly adopted resolution or other applicable authorization of said organization, and that this Lease is binding upon said organization in accordance with its terms. Further, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after such request, deliver to Landlord a certified copy of a resolution or other applicable authorization of said organization authorizing or ratifying the execution of this Lease.

 

47


33.11 Captions. The captions of this Lease are for convenience only and are not a part of this Lease and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this Lease.

33.12 Number and Gender. Whenever the singular number is used in this Lease and when required by the context, the same shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and the word “person” shall include corporation, firm or association. If there be more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed under this Lease upon Tenant shall be joint and several.

33.13 Modifications. This instrument contains all of the agreements, conditions and representations made between the parties to this Lease and may not be modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the parties to this Lease.

33.14 Payments. Except as otherwise expressly stated, each payment required to be made by Tenant shall be in addition to and not in substitution for other payments to be made by Tenant.

33.15 Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

33.16 No Offer. The preparation and submission of a draft of this Lease by either party to the other shall not constitute an offer, nor shall either party be bound to any terms of this Lease or the entirety of the Lease itself until both parties have fully executed a final document and an original signature document has been received by both parties. Until such time as described in the previous sentence, either party is free to terminate negotiations with no obligation to the other.

33.17 Light, Air and View. No diminution of light, air, or view by any structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord) shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent, result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any other way affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

33.18 Intentionally Deleted.

33.19 Joint and Several Liability. Should Tenant consist of more than one person or entity, they shall be jointly and severally liable on this Lease.

33.20 Survival of Obligations. All obligations of Tenant which may accrue or arise during the term of this Lease or as a result of any act or omission of Tenant during said term shall, to the extent they have not been fully performed, satisfied or discharged, survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

33.21 Real Estate Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other party that it has not authorized, retained or employed, or acted by implication to authorize, retain or employ, any real estate broker or salesman to act for it or on its behalf in connection with this Lease so as to cause the other party to be responsible for the payment of a brokerage commission, except for the Broker(s) identified in Article 1. Landlord shall pay any brokerage commissions owing by Landlord to Tenant’s Broker in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Lease pursuant to a separate written agreement with Tenant’s Broker. Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims by any real estate broker or salesman (other than the Brokers) whom the indemnifying party authorized, retained or employed, or acted by implication to authorize, retain or employ, to act for the indemnifying party in connection with this Lease.

33.22 Waiver of California Code Sections. In this Lease, numerous provisions have been negotiated by the parties, some of which provisions are covered by statute. Whenever a provision of this Lease and a provision of any statute or other law cover the same matter, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Therefore, Tenant waives (for itself and all persons claiming under Tenant) the provisions of Civil Code Sections 1932(2)

 

48


and 1933(4) with respect to the destruction of the Leased Premises; Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 with respect to Landlord’s repair duties and Tenant’s right to repair; Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Leased Premises by condemnation as herein defined; and any right of redemption or reinstatement of Tenant under any present or future case law or statutory provision (including Code of Civil Procedure Sections 473 and 1179 and Civil Code Section 3275) in the event Tenant is dispossessed from the Leased Premises for any reason. This waiver applies to future statutes enacted in addition to or in substitution for the statutes specified herein.

33.23 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant pays all of the Minimum Monthly Rent, all additional rent and other sums and charges under the Lease and otherwise performs all of its obligations in the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to possession and quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises free from any unreasonable disturbance or interference, subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease. Landlord represents and warrants that it has the full right and power to execute and perform this Lease and to grant the estate demised herein.

33.24 Representation. Neither Tenant nor any of its constituent partners, managers, members or shareholders, nor any beneficial owner of Tenant or of any such partner, manager, member or shareholder (a) is listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to the Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) (“Order”); (b) is listed on any other list of terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to the Order, the rules and regulations of OFAC or any other applicable requirements contained in any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders in respect of the Order (the Order and such other rules, regulations, legislation or orders are collectively called the “Orders”); (c) is engaged in activities prohibited in the Orders; or (d) has been convicted, pleaded nolo contendere, indicted, arraigned or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering.

33.25 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, including any facsimile or other electronic version of same, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement. Any facsimile or other electronic signature shall constitute a valid and binding method for executing this Lease. Executed counterparts of this Lease exchanged by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall be fully enforceable.

If the Fair Market Rent of each broker is within three percent (3%) of each other, then the average of the two appraisals of Fair Market Rent shall be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. If one party does not appoint its broker as provided above, then the one appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent so determined under this section shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.

2.4 Third Appraiser. If the Fair Market Rent determined by the brokers is more than three percent (3%) apart, then the two brokers shall pick a third broker within ten (10) days after the two brokers have rendered their opinions of Fair Market Rent as provided above. If the two brokers are unable to agree on the third broker within said ten (10) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the third broker within ten (10) days thereafter. If the parties do not agree on a third qualified broker within ten (10) days, then at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such third broker shall be promptly appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County where the Building is located. The third broker shall be a person who has not previously acted in such capacity for either party and must meet the qualifications stated above.

2.5 Impartial Appraisal. Within thirty (30) days after its appointment, the third broker (the “Third Party”), shall render its written opinion by selecting the Fair Market Rent made Landlord’s or Tenant’s broker to be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. The Third Party may not offer any different opinion or recommendation of Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall be binding on the parties.

2.6 Appraisal Costs. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and one-half (1/2) the cost of the third appraiser.

2.7 Acknowledgment of Rent. After the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period has been established in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease to reflect the minimum monthly rent for the Extension Period.

2.8 Personal Option. The foregoing option to extend is personal to the original Tenant signing the Lease (and its affiliates), but may not be assigned or transferred to or exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee under a Transfer unless such constituted and Affiliate Transfer within the meaning of Section 21.5 of the Lease or Landlord’s consent was not required in connection therewith pursuant to Article 21 of the Lease or Landlord consented to such Transfer.

1. POSITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. As of the Effective Date, the Company will employ you as its Senior Vice President, Clinical Research and Development. In such capacity, you will have such duties and responsibilities as are normally associated with such position. Your duties may be changed from time to time by the Company in its discretion. You will report to the Chief Executive Officer or such other individual as the Company may designate, and will work at the Company’s offices located in San Francisco, California, or such other location as the Company may designate, except for travel to other locations as may be necessary to fulfill your responsibilities. At the Company’s request, you will serve the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates in other offices and capacities in addition to the foregoing without additional compensation.

2. BASE COMPENSATION. During your employment with the Company, the Company will pay you a base salary of $315,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), less payroll deductions and all required withholdings, payable in installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices (but in no event less often than monthly) and prorated for any partial pay period of employment. Your Base Salary may be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time.

3. ANNUAL BONUS. In addition to the Base Salary set forth above, you will be eligible to receive an annual discretionary cash bonus (pro-rated for any partial year of service), based on the attainment of performance metrics and/or individual performance objectives, in each case, established and evaluated by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Annual Bonus”). Your target Annual Bonus shall be 35% of your Base Salary, but the actual amount of your Annual Bonus may be more or less (and may equal zero), depending on the attainment of applicable performance criteria. Payment of any Annual Bonus(es), to the extent any Annual Bonus(es) become payable, will be contingent upon your continued employment through the applicable payment date.

4. SIGNING BONUS. In connection with entering into this offer letter, you will be paid a signing bonus equal to $50,000 (the “Signing Bonus”) within fifteen days after the Effective Date. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Signing Bonus will not be earned to any extent prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date and will only be earned on the second anniversary of the Effective Date if you remain actively employed by the Company through such second anniversary. In the event that your employment with the Company terminates for any reason (a) prior to or on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, you hereby agree to repay to the Company the Signing Bonus, in full, on the date of termination; or (b) after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, you hereby agree to repay to the Company, on the date of termination, 50% of the Signing Bonus.

5. RELOCATION EXPENSES. In conjunction with the relocation of your residence to the Los Angeles, California greater metropolitan area, the Company will pay or reimburse you for all reasonable moving expenses (including without limitation packing, shipping, insurance, airfare for residence site visits with family and temporary housing), in a total amount not to exceed $15,000, incurred by you no later than December 31, 2012 in connection with such relocation (the “Relocation Expenses”).

The amount of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year will not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other taxable year, and your right to such payments or reimbursement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Subject to the foregoing, the Relocation Expenses will be paid within ten (10) business days of your delivery to the Company of receipts evidencing such expenses.
