Lease Information attached to this Lease Agreement (“
Basic Lease Information ”) shall have the meaning and
definition given them in the Basic Lease Information. The Basic
Lease Information, the exhibits, the addendum or addenda described
in the Basic Lease Information, and this Lease Agreement are and
shall be construed as a single instrument and are referred to
herein as the “ Lease ”.
1. Demise
In consideration for the rents and
all other charges and payments payable by Tenant, and for the
agreements, terms and conditions to be performed by Tenant in this
Lease, Landlord does hereby
lease to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby hire and take from
Landlord , the Premises described below (the “
Premises ”), upon the agreements, terms and conditions
of this Lease for the Term hereinafter stated.
2. Premises
The Premises demised by this Lease is
located in that certain building (the “ Building
”) specified in the Basic Lease Information, which Building
is located in that certain real estate development (the “
Project ”) specified in the Basic Lease Information.
The Premises has the address and contains the square footage
specified in the Basic Lease Information. The location and
dimensions of the Premises are depicted on
Exhibit A , which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference; provided, however, that any
statement of square footage set forth in this Lease, or that may
have been used in calculating any of the economic terms hereof, is
an approximation which Landlord and Tenant agree is reasonable and,
except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 4(d)(iii) below, no
economic terms based thereon shall be subject to revision whether
or not the actual square footage is more or less. Tenant shall have
the non-exclusive right (in common with the other tenants, Landlord
and any other person granted use by Landlord) to use the Common
Areas (as hereinafter defined), except that, with respect to the
Project’s parking areas (the “ Parking Areas
”), Tenant shall have only the rights, if any, set forth in
Paragraph 43 below. No easement for light or air is
incorporated in the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, the term
“ Common Areas ” shall mean all areas and
facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary
line of the Project that are provided and designated by Landlord
for the non-exclusive use of Landlord, Tenant and other tenants of
the Project and their respective employees, guests and invitees.
Tenant understands and agrees that the Premises shall be leased by
Tenant in its as-is condition without any improvements or
alterations by Landlord.
Landlord has the right, in its sole
discretion, from time to time, to: (a) make changes to the
Common Areas, the Building and/or the Project, including, without
limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of
driveways, entrances, parking spaces, Parking Areas, ingress,

to the Premises remains available; (c) add additional
buildings and improvements to the Common Areas or remove existing
buildings or improvements therefrom; (d) use the Common
1
Areas
while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or
alterations to the Project or any portion thereof; and (e) do
and perform any other acts, alter or expand, or make any other
changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas, the Building
and/or the Project as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, deem to
be appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord reserves
the right from time to time to install, use, maintain, repair,
relocate and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and appurtenant
meters and equipment for service to the Premises or to other parts
of the Building which are above the ceiling surfaces, below the
floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas of
the Building which are located within the Premises or located
elsewhere in the Building. In connection with any of the foregoing
activities of Landlord, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts while
conducting such activities to minimize any interference with
Tenant’s use of the Premises.
No rights to any view or to light or
air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other
person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease. If at any time any
windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or the light or
view therefrom is obstructed, the same shall be without liability
to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

and first monthly installment of estimated Additional Rent (as

costs and expenses relating to Landlord’s ownership and
operation of the Project and the Building, and (ii) not to be
reduced, offset or diminished, directly or indirectly, by any cost,
charge or expense payable hereunder by Tenant or by others in
connection with the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or
any part thereof. The provisions of this Paragraph 4(b) for the
payment of Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) of Expenses (as

all such costs and expenses. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, in accordance with this Paragraph 4,

Notwithstanding
anything in this Paragraph 4(b) to the contrary, (i) with
respect to all sums payable by Tenant as Additional Rent under this
Paragraph 4(b) for the replacement of any item or the construction
of any new item in connection with the physical operation of the
Premises, the Building or the Project ( i.e. , HVAC, roof
membrane or coverings and Parking Areas) which is a capital item
the replacement of which would be capitalized under generally
4
accepted
commercial real estate accounting practices then Tenant shall be
required to pay only the pro rata share of the cost of the item
falling due within the Term (including any renewal term) based upon
the amortization of the same over the useful life of such item,
under such generally accepted commercial real estate accounting
practices, and (ii) with respect to all sums payable by Tenant
as Additional Rent under this Paragraph 4(b) for earthquake
insurance deductibles, to the extent any such earthquake damage
relates to items which are capital items (the normal replacement of
which would be capitalized under generally accepted commercial real
estate accounting practices) then such deductible shall be
allocated among such capital and non-capital items and the pro rata
share of the deductible payable by Tenant shall limited to the
costs of the damage which are allocable to the remainder of the
Term (including any renewal term) based upon the costs of the
non-capital items and the amortization of the capital items over
their useful life, as determined by generally accepted commercial
real estate accounting practices.
(c) Exclusions from
Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Paragraph 4(b) above, “Expenses” and
“Additional Rent” shall not include the following (the
“ Expense Exclusions ”):
(i) Leasing
commissions, attorneys’ fees, costs, disbursements, and other
expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with
tenants, or in connection with leasing, renovating, or improving
space for tenants or other occupants or prospective tenants or
other occupants of the Building or Project.
(ii) The
cost of any service sold to any tenant (including Tenant) or other
occupant for which Landlord is actually reimbursed as an additional
charge or rental over and above the basic rent and escalations
payable under the lease with that tenant.
(iii) Any
depreciation on the Building or Project.
(iv) Expenses
in connection with services or other benefits of a type that are
not provided to Tenant but which are provided to and actually paid
for by another tenant or occupant of the Building or Project.
(v) Costs
incurred due to Landlord’s intentional violation of any terms
or conditions of this Lease or any other lease relating to the
Building or Project.
(vi) All
interest, loan fees, and other carrying costs related to any
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project, and all rental
and other amounts payable due under any ground affecting the
Project.
(vii) Any
compensation paid to clerks, attendants, or other persons in
commercial concessions operated by Landlord.
(viii) subject
to the provisions of Paragraphs 21 and 22 below, any costs of
maintenance or repairs resulting from a casualty or condemnation
(other than insurance deductibles which shall be governed by
Paragraph 4(b)(ii) above;
5
(ix) Costs
for sculpture, paintings, or other objects of art (nor insurance
thereon or extraordinary security in connection therewith).
(x) Wages,
salaries, or other compensation paid to any executive employees
above the grade of senior property manager.
(xi) The
cost of containing, removing, or otherwise remediating any
contamination of the Property (including the underlying land and
ground water) by any toxic or hazardous materials (including,
without limitation, asbestos and “PCBs”) where such
contamination existed prior to the date of this Lease.
(d) Payment of Additional
Rent.
(i) Upon
commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall submit to Tenant an
estimate of monthly Additional Rent for the period between the
Commencement Date and the following December 31 and Tenant
shall pay such estimated Additional Rent on a monthly basis, in
advance, on the first day of each month. Tenant shall continue to
make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a change
therein. If at any time or times Landlord reasonably determines
that the amounts payable under Paragraph 4(b) for the current year
will vary from Landlord’s estimate given to Tenant, Landlord,
by notice to Tenant, may revise the estimate for such year, and
subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon
such revised estimate. By April 1 of each calendar year, Landlord
shall endeavor to provide to Tenant a statement (an “
Expense Statement ”) showing the actual Additional
Rent due to Landlord for the prior calendar year, to be prorated
during the first year from the Commencement Date. If the total of
the monthly payments of Additional Rent that Tenant has made for
the prior calendar year is less than the actual Additional Rent
chargeable to Tenant for such prior calendar year, then Tenant
shall pay the difference in a lump sum within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such Expense Statement from Landlord. Any
overpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent for the prior calendar
year shall be credited towards the Additional Rent next due, or
returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days if no further
Additional Rent is due.
(ii) Landlord’s
then-current annual operating and capital budgets for the Building
and the Project or the pertinent part thereof shall be used for
purposes of calculating Tenant’s monthly payment of estimated
Additional Rent for the current year, subject to adjustment as
provided above. Landlord shall make the final determination of
Additional Rent for the year in which this Lease terminates as soon
as possible after termination of such year. Even though the Term
has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Tenant shall
remain liable for payment of any amount due to Landlord in excess
of the estimated Additional Rent previously paid by Tenant, and,
conversely, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any
overpayment. Failure of Landlord to submit Expense Statements as
called for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s
obligation to pay Additional Rent as herein provided.
(iii) With
respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Building,
Tenant’s “ Proportionate Share ” shall be
the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease Information as
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Building, as adjusted by
Landlord from time to time for a remeasurement of or changes in the
physical size of the Premises or the Building, whether such changes
in size are due to an addition to or a sale or conveyance of a
portion of the Building or
6
otherwise. With respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the
Project as a whole or to only a portion of the Project,
Tenant’s “ Proportionate Share ” shall be,
with respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Project as
a whole, the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease Information as
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project and, with respect
to Expenses which Landlord allocates to only a portion of the
Project, a percentage calculated by Landlord from time to time in
its reasonable discretion and furnished to Tenant in writing, in
either case as adjusted by Landlord from time to time for a
remeasurement of or changes in the physical size of the Premises or
the Project, whether such changes in size are due to an addition to
or a sale or conveyance of a portion of the Project or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may equitably adjust
Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) for all or part of any item
of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair,
replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a
portion of the Building and/or the Project or that varies with the
occupancy of the Building and/or the Project. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Tenant understands and agrees that
Landlord shall have the right to adjust Tenant’s
Proportionate Share(s) of any Utility Expenses based upon
Tenant’s use of the Utilities or similar services as
reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord based upon factors
such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of such Utilities
by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges
reasonably consistent with Tenant’s use of such Utilities and
similar services. If Tenant disputes any such estimate or
determination of Utility Expenses, then Tenant shall either pay the
estimated amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at
Tenant’s sole expense.
(e) Tenant’s Right
to Audit Expenses. Provided that Tenant is not in Default
under the terms of this Lease (nor is any event occurring which,
with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a Default hereunder), then Tenant shall have the right
within ninety (90) days after the delivery of the relevant Expense
Statement to review and audit Landlord’s books and records
regarding such Expense Statement for the sole purpose of
determining the accuracy of such Expense Statement. Such review or
audit shall be performed by a nationally recognized accounting firm
that calculates its fees with respect to hours actually worked and
that does not discount its time or rate (as opposed to a
calculation based upon percentage of recoveries or other incentive
arrangement), shall take place during normal business hours in the
office of Landlord or Landlord’s property manager and shall
be completed within three (3) business days after the
commencement thereof. If Tenant does not so review or audit
Landlord’s books and records, Landlord’s Expense
Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant. In the event that
Tenant determines on the basis of its review of Landlord’s
books and records that the amount of Expenses paid by Tenant
pursuant to this Paragraph 4 for the period covered by such
Expense Statement is less than or greater than the actual amount
properly payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, Tenant
shall promptly pay any deficiency to Landlord or, if Landlord
concurs with the results of such audit in its reasonable
discretion, Landlord shall promptly refund any excess payment to
Tenant, as the case may be.
(f) General Payment
Terms. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, including, without
limitation, any late charges assessed pursuant to Paragraph 6
below and any interest assessed pursuant to Paragraph 45
below, are referred to as the “ Rent ”. All Rent
shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America.
Checks are to be made payable to “Harbor Investment
Partners” and shall be mailed to: The Harbor, 0391, P.O. Box
3900, Los Angeles, California 90084 or to such other person
or
7
place as
Landlord may, from time to time, designate to Tenant in writing.
The Rent for any fractional part of a calendar month at the
commencement or termination of the Term shall be a prorated amount
of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty
(30) day month.
5. Utility
Expenses
(a) Tenant shall pay the cost of
all water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and permit costs and
sewer connection fees, gas, heat, electricity, refuse pick-up,
janitorial service, telephone and all materials and services or
other utilities (collectively, “ Utilities ”)
billed or metered separately to the Premises and/or Tenant,
together with all taxes, assessments, charges and penalties added
to or included within such cost. Tenant shall be responsible for
arranging for janitorial service and all Utilities furnished to the
Premises. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises, the Building
and/or the Project may become subject to the rationing of Utility
services or restrictions on Utility use as required by a public
utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having
jurisdiction thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its
tenancy and occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing
or restrictions as may be imposed upon Landlord, Tenant, the
Premises, the Building and/or the Project, and Tenant shall in no
event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be
kept or performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or
restrictions. Tenant agrees to comply with energy conservation
programs implemented by Landlord consistent with such imposed
rationing, restrictions or Laws.
(b) Landlord shall not be liable
for any loss, injury or damage to property caused by or resulting
from any variation, interruption, or failure of Utilities due to
any cause whatsoever, or from failure to make any repairs or
perform any maintenance. No temporary interruption or failure of
such services incident to the making of repairs, alterations,
improvements, or due to accident, strike, or conditions or other
events shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from
any of its obligations hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be
liable to Tenant for any damage to the Premises or for any loss,
damage or injury to any property therein or thereon occasioned by
bursting, rupture, leakage or overflow of any plumbing or other
pipes (including, without limitation, water, steam, and/or
refrigerant lines), sprinklers, tanks, drains, drinking fountains
or washstands, or other similar cause in, above, upon or about the
Premises, the Building, or the Project.
6. Late
Charge
Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment to
Landlord of Rent, or other amounts due hereunder will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact
amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. If any
Rent or other sums due from Tenant are not received by Landlord or
by Landlord’s designated agent within five (5) days
after their due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount, plus any
costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of
Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due
hereunder; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to no
more than three (3) notices of late payment and a five
(5) day cure period during the Term (not more than once in any
twelve month period) before any such late charge accrues. Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and
reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason
of Tenant’s late payment and shall not be construed as a
penalty.
8
Landlord’s acceptance of such late charges shall not
constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such
overdue amount or estop Landlord from exercising any of the other
rights and remedies granted under this Lease.

7. Security
Deposit
(a) Cash
Security
(i) Concurrently
with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord the Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease
Information as security for the full and faithful performance of
each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease. Landlord
may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security
Deposit as may be reasonably necessary (a) to remedy
Tenant’s default in the payment of any Rent, (b) to
repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, (c) to clean
the Premises upon termination of this Lease, if Tenant fails to
surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by
this Lease, (d) to reimburse Landlord for the payment of any
amount which Landlord may reasonably spend or be required to spend
by reason of Tenant’s default, or (e) to compensate
Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by
reason of Tenant’s default. Should Tenant faithfully and
fully comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease, within thirty (30) days following the expiration
of the Term, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be
returned to Tenant or, at the option of Landlord, to the last
assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Landlord shall
not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its
general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on
such deposit. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of
said deposit, within five (5) days after written demand
therefor Tenant shall deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full extent of
the above amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a
Default under this Lease. In the event Landlord transfers its
interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the then remaining
amount of the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor in
interest, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability
to Tenant with respect to such Security Deposit.
(b) Letter of
Credit.
(i) In
lieu of the cash security required pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)
above, Tenant may deliver to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense, the Letter of Credit described below in the amount of
the Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information (the
“ LC Face Amount ”) as security for
Tenant’s performance of all of Tenant’s covenants and
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that neither the
Letter of Credit nor any Letter of Credit Proceeds (as defined
below) shall be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance
payment of any other kind, or a measure of Landlord’s damages
upon Tenant’s breach of or default under this Lease. The
Letter of Credit shall be maintained in effect from the date hereof
through the date that is sixty (60) days after the Expiration
Date (the “ LC Termination Date ”). On the LC
Termination Date, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of
Credit and any Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord
(other than those Letter of Credit Proceeds Landlord is entitled to
retain under the terms of this Paragraph 7(b)(i)); provided,
however, that in no event
9
shall
any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that
Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder. Landlord
shall not be required to segregate the Letter of Credit Proceeds
from its other funds and no interest shall accrue or be payable to
Tenant with respect thereto. Landlord may (but shall not be
required to) draw upon the Letter of Credit and use the proceeds
thereof (the “ Letter of Credit Proceeds ”) or
any portion thereof, to the extent reasonably required (i) to
remedy Tenant’s Default for non-payment of Rent and to cure
any other Default under this Lease, and in either case to
compensate Landlord for any loss or damage Landlord incurs as a
result of such Default, (ii) to repair damage to the Premises
caused by Tenant, (iii) to clean the Premises upon termination
of this Lease, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises to
Landlord in the condition required by this Lease, and (iv) to
reimburse Landlord for the payment of any amount which Landlord may
for any purpose spend or be required to spend by reason of
Tenant’s Default, it being understood that any use of the
Letter of Credit Proceeds shall not constitute a bar or defense to
any of Landlord’s remedies set forth in Paragraph 25
below. Landlord shall have the additional right to draw on the
Letter of Credit in accordance with Paragraph 7(b)(ii) below.
In any such event and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant
specifying the amount of the Letter of Credit Proceeds so utilized
by Landlord and the particular purpose for which such amount was
applied, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord an amendment
to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to the full LC Face Amount. Tenant’s failure to
deliver such replacement Letter of Credit to Landlord within ten
(10) days of Landlord’s notice shall constitute an
immediate Default hereunder. In the event Landlord transfers its
interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of
Credit and any Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord to
Landlord’s successor in interest, and thereafter Landlord
shall have no further liability to Tenant with respect to such
Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Proceeds.
(ii) As
used herein, Letter of Credit shall mean an unconditional and
irrevocable standby letter of credit (herein referred to as the
“ Letter of Credit ”) issued by Silicon Valley
Bank, or another major national bank insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, with assets of not less than Fifty Billion
Dollars ($50,000,000,000.00) and otherwise reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord (the “ Bank ”), naming Landlord as
beneficiary, in the amount of the LC Face Amount, and otherwise in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The Letter
of Credit shall be for an initial one-year term, shall
automatically renew during the Term (without the necessity of
additional documentation or action on the part of any party), and
shall provide: (i) that Landlord may make partial and multiple
draws thereunder, up to the full LC Face Amount, (ii) that
Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit up to the full amount
thereof and the Bank will pay to Landlord the amount of each such
draw upon receipt by the Bank of a sight draft signed by Landlord
and accompanied by a written certification from Landlord to the
Bank stating that Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of
Credit, and (iii) that the beneficial interest under the
Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable one or more times
and, therefore, in the event of Landlord’s (or any successor
Landlord’s) assignment or other transfer of its interest in
this Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by
Landlord (or any successor Landlord), without recourse and without
the payment of any fee or consideration, to the assignee or
transferee of such interest and the Bank shall confirm the same to
Landlord (or such successor) and such assignee or transferee. Any
and all costs and fees associated with the set-up or general
maintenance Letter of Credit shall be at the sole cost of
Tenant.
10
(iii) In
the event that the Bank shall at any time notify Landlord that the
Letter of Credit shall not be renewed beyond the next expiry date,
then unless Tenant shall, not less than thirty (30) days prior
to such expiry date, deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of
Credit in the full LC Face Amount and otherwise meeting the
requirements set forth above, Landlord shall be entitled to draw on
the Letter of Credit and shall hold the proceeds of such draw as
Letter of Credit Proceeds pursuant to Paragraph 7(b)(i) above.
The Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that, to be effective,
any notice on non-renewal given by the Bank must be provided by the
Bank concurrently to Landlord, Landlord’s property manager
and Landlord’s counsel (at the address of each such party
specified in the Letter of Credit).
(c) Tenant hereby waives any and
all rights under and the benefits of Section 1950.7 of the
California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law now in force
or that become in force after the date of execution of this Lease,
only to the extent that it provides that Landlord may claim from a
security deposit or Letter of Credit Proceeds only those sums
reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to
repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean the Premises upon
termination of this Lease, if Tenant fails to surrender the
Premises to Landlord in the condition required by this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may, in addition, claim
those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any
other foreseeable or unforeseeable loss or damage caused by the act
or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents.
8. Possession
(a) Tenant’s Right
of Possession. Subject to Paragraph 8(b), Tenant shall
be entitled to possession of the Premises upon commencement of the
Term.
(b) Early
Occupancy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Tenant shall have the right to enter and occupy
the Premises upon mutual execution hereof for the sole purpose of
installing phone, data, equipment and otherwise preparing the
Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, provided that such entry
shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
including, without limitation, Tenant’s insurance and
indemnity obligations contained herein, excluding only the
obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent.
9. Use of
Premises
(a) Permitted Use. The
use of the Premises by Tenant and Tenant’s agents, advisors,
employees, partners, shareholders, directors, invitees and
independent contractors (collectively, “ Tenant’s
Agents ”) shall be solely for the Permitted Use specified
in the Basic Lease Information and for no other use. Tenant shall
not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odor, smoke, dust, gas,
noise or vibration to emanate from or near the Premises. The
Premises shall not be used to create any nuisance or trespass, for
any illegal purpose, for any purpose not permitted by Laws, for any
purpose that would invalidate the insurance or increase the
premiums for insurance on the Premises, the Building or the Project
or for any purpose or in any manner that would interfere with other
tenants’ use or occupancy of the Project. If any of
Tenant’s office machines or equipment disturb any other
tenant in the Building, then Tenant shall provide adequate
insulation or take such other action as may be necessary to
eliminate the noise or disturbance. Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, any increases in premiums on policies
resulting from Tenant’s Permitted Use or any other use or
action by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents which
11
increases Landlord’s premiums or requires additional coverage
by Landlord to insure the Premises. Tenant agrees not to overload
the floor(s) of the Building.
(b) Compliance with
Governmental Regulations and Private Restrictions. Tenant
and Tenant’s Agents shall, at Tenant’s expense,
faithfully observe and comply with (i) all municipal, state
and federal laws, statutes, codes, rules, regulations, ordinances,
requirements, and orders (collectively, “ Laws
”), now in force or which may hereafter be in force
pertaining to the Premises and such compliance is necessary due to
Tenant’s specific use of the Premises, the Building or the
Project or any Alterations; provided, however, that except as
provided in Paragraph 9(c) below, Tenant shall not be required to
make or, (subject to such limitations as provided in
Paragraph 4 above) pay for, structural changes to the Premises
or the Building not related to Tenant’s specific use of the
Premises unless the requirement for such changes is imposed as a
result of any improvements or additions made or proposed to be made
at Tenant’s request; (ii) all recorded covenants,
conditions and restrictions affecting the Project (“
Private Restrictions ”) now in force or which may
hereafter be in force; and (iii) any and all rules and
regulations set forth in Exhibit B and any other
rules and regulations now or hereafter promulgated by Landlord
related to parking or the operation of the Premises, the Building
and/or the Project (collectively, the “ Rules and
Regulations ”). 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 Tenant has violated any such Laws or Private
Restrictions, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord
and Tenant.
(c) Compliance with Americans
with Disabilities Act. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and
acknowledge that the Premises, the Building and/or the Project may
be subject to, among other Laws, the requirements of the Americans
with Disabilities Act, a federal law codified at 42 U.S.C. §
12101 et seq. , including, but not limited to, Title III
thereof, and all regulations and guidelines related thereto,
together with any and all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances,
codes and statutes now or hereafter enacted by local or state
agencies having jurisdiction thereof, including all requirements of
Title 24 of the State of California, as the same may be in effect
on the date of this Lease and may be hereafter modified, amended or
supplemented (collectively, the “ ADA ”).
Subject to reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4 above, if any
barrier removal work or other work is required to the Building, the
Common Areas or the Project under the ADA, then such work shall be
the responsibility of Landlord; provided, however, that if such
work is required under the ADA as a result of Tenant’s
particular use of the Premises or any work or Alteration (as
hereinafter defined) made to the Premises by or on behalf of
Tenant, then such work shall be performed by Landlord at the sole
cost and expense of Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this provision, Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and
expense for fully and faithfully complying with all applicable
requirements of the ADA, including, without limitation, not
discriminating against any disabled persons in the operation of
Tenant’s business in or about the Premises, and offering or
otherwise providing auxiliary aids and services as, and when,
required by the ADA. Within ten (10) days after receipt,
Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing, and provide Landlord with
copies of (as applicable), any notices alleging violation of the
ADA relating to any portion of the Premises, the Building or the
Project; any claims made or threatened orally or in writing
regarding noncompliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of
the Premises, the Building, or the Project; or any governmental or
regulatory actions or investigations instituted or threatened
regarding noncompliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of
the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall and
12
hereby
agrees to protect, defend (with counsel acceptable to Landlord) and
hold Landlord and Landlord’s agents, advisors, employees,
partners, shareholders, directors, invitees or independent
contractors (collectively, “ Landlord’s Agents
”) harmless and indemnify Landlord and Landlord’s
Agents from and against all liabilities, damages, claims, losses,
penalties, judgments, charges and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees, costs of court and expenses necessary in the
prosecution or defense of any litigation including the enforcement
of this provision) arising from or in any way related to, directly
or indirectly, Tenant’s or Tenant’s Agents’
violation or alleged violation of the ADA. Tenant agrees that the
obligations of Tenant herein shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
(d) No Roof
Access . At no time during the Term shall Tenant have
access to the roof of the Building or have the right to install,
operate or maintain a satellite-earth communications station
(antenna and associated equipment), microwave equipment and/or an
FM antenna on the Building or the Project.
10. Acceptance of
Premises
(a) By its execution hereof,
Tenant acknowledges that it had the opportunity to fully inspect
the Premises, including, but not limited to, conducting any desired
testing. Tenant hereby certifies to Landlord that neither Tenant
nor any of its employees, agents, or contractors observed or has
any knowledge of any mold, mildew, Mold Conditions (as hereinafter
defined) or moisture within the Premises.
(b) Subject to Paragraph 10(c)
below, by entry hereunder, Tenant accepts the Premises as suitable
for Tenant’s intended use and as being in good and sanitary
operating order, condition and repair, as is , and without
representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition, use or
occupancy which may be made thereof. Any exceptions to the
foregoing must be by written agreement executed by Landlord and
Tenant.
(c) Landlord shall cause the
mechanical, electrical, lighting, HVAC and plumbing systems serving
the Premises to be in good working order and the roof on the
Building to be in good condition on the Commencement Date. Any
claims by Tenant under the preceding sentence shall be made in
writing not later than the tenth (10th) day after the Commencement
Date. In the event Tenant fails to deliver a written claim to
Landlord on or before such tenth (10th) day, then Landlord shall be
conclusively deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this
Paragraph 10(c).
11. Surrender
Tenant agrees that on the last day of
the Term, or on the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises to Landlord (a) in good condition and
repair (damage by acts of God, fire, and other casualty,
condemnation and normal wear and tear excepted), but with all
interior walls painted or cleaned so they appear painted, any
carpets cleaned, all floors cleaned and waxed, all non-working
light bulbs and ballasts replaced and all roll-up doors and
plumbing fixtures in good condition and working order, and
(b) otherwise in accordance with Paragraph 32(h). Normal
wear and tear shall not include any damage or deterioration to the
floors of the Premises arising from the use of forklifts in, on or
about the Premises (including,
13
without
limitation, any marks or stains on any portion of the floors), and
any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by
proper maintenance by Tenant, or Tenant otherwise performing all of
its obligations under this Lease. On or before the expiration or
sooner termination of this Lease, (i) Tenant shall remove all
of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined) and
Tenant’s signage from the Premises, the Building and the
Project and repair any damage caused by such removal, and
(ii) Landlord may, by notice to Tenant given not later than
ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date (except in the
event of a termination of this Lease prior to the scheduled
Expiration Date, in which event no advance notice shall be
required), require Tenant at Tenant’s expense to remove any
or all Alterations, and to repair any damage caused by such
removal. Any of Tenant’s Property not so removed by Tenant as
required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored,
removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and
Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting
from Landlord’s retention and disposition of such property;
provided, however, that Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for
all costs incurred in storing and disposing of such abandoned
property of Tenant. All Alterations except those which Landlord
requires Tenant to remove (including those which Tenant is required
to remove pursuant to Paragraph 12(i) below) shall remain in the
Premises as the property of Landlord. If the Premises are not
surrendered at the end of the Term or sooner termination of this
Lease, and in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph 11 and Paragraph 32(h) below, Tenant shall continue
to be responsible for the payment of Rent (as the same may be
increased pursuant to Paragraph 35 below) until the Premises
are so surrendered in accordance with said Paragraphs, and Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any and all loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so
surrendering the Premises including, without limitation, any loss
or liability resulting from any claim against Landlord made by any
succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded on or resulting
from such delay and losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to
lease any portion of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant or
prospective tenant, together with, in each case, actual
attorneys’ fees and costs.
12. Alterations
and Additions
(a) Tenant shall not make, or
permit to be made, any alteration, addition or improvement
(hereinafter referred to individually as an “
Alteration ” and collectively as the “
Alterations ”) to the Premises or any part thereof
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Landlord
shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to consent
or to withhold its consent to any Alteration which affects the
structural portions of the Premises, the Building or the Project or
the Systems serving the Premises, the Building and/or the Project
or any portion thereof.
(b) Any Alteration to the
Premises shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in
compliance with all applicable Laws and all requirements requested
by Landlord, including, without limitation, the requirements of any
insurer providing coverage for the Premises or the Project or any
part thereof, and in accordance with plans and specifications
approved in writing by Landlord, and shall be constructed and
installed by a contractor approved in writing by Landlord. As a
further condition to giving consent, Landlord may require Tenant to
provide Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a
payment and performance bond in form acceptable to Landlord, in a
principal amount not less than one and one-half times the estimated
costs of such Alterations, to ensure Landlord against any liability
for mechanics’ and
14
materialmen’s liens and to ensure completion of work. Before
Alterations may begin, valid building permits or other permits or
licenses required must be furnished to Landlord, and, once the
Alterations begin, Tenant will diligently and continuously pursue
their completion. Landlord may monitor construction of the
Alterations and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its costs
(including, without limitation, the costs of any construction
manager retained by Landlord) in reviewing plans and documents and
in monitoring construction. Tenant shall maintain during the course
of construction, at its sole cost and expense, builders’ risk
insurance for the amount of the completed value of the Alterations
on an all-risk non-reporting form covering all improvements under
construction, including building materials, and other insurance in
amounts and against such risks as Landlord shall reasonably require
in connection with the Alterations. In addition to and without
limitation on the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall ensure
that its contractor(s) procure and maintain in full force and
effect during the course of construction a “broad form”
commercial general liability and property damage policy of
insurance naming Landlord, Landlord’s manager, UBS Realty
Investors llc
(“ UBS ”) , Tenant and
Landlord’s lenders as additional insureds. The minimum limit
of coverage of the aforesaid policy shall be in the amount of not
less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury or death
of one person in any one accident or occurrence and in the amount
of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury
or death of more than one person in any one accident or occurrence,
and shall contain a severability of interest clause or a cross
liability endorsement. Such insurance shall further insure Landlord
and Tenant against liability for property damage of at least One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
(c) All Alterations, including,
but not limited to, heating, lighting, electrical, air
conditioning, fixed partitioning, drapery, wall covering and
paneling, built-in cabinet work and carpeting installations made by
Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part
of the Premises or the Building, shall at once be and become the
property of Landlord, and shall not be deemed trade fixtures or
Tenant’s Property. If requested by Landlord, Tenant will pay,
prior to the commencement of construction, an amount determined by
Landlord necessary to cover the costs of demolishing such
Alterations and/or the cost of returning the Premises and the
Building to its condition prior to such Alterations.
(d) No private telephone systems
and/or other related computer or telecommunications equipment or
lines may be installed without Landlord’s prior written
consent. If Landlord gives such consent, all equipment must be
installed within the Premises and, at the request of Landlord made
at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, removed upon the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and the Premises
restored to the same condition as before such installation.
(e) Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, before installing any equipment or lights
which generate an undue amount of heat in the Premises, or if
Tenant plans to use any high-power usage equipment in the Premises,
Tenant shall obtain the written permission of Landlord. Landlord
may refuse to grant such permission unless Tenant agrees to pay the
costs to Landlord for installation of supplementary air
conditioning capacity or electrical systems necessitated by such
equipment.
(f) Tenant agrees not to proceed
to make any Alterations, notwithstanding consent from Landlord to
do so, until Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the date Tenant
desires to
15
commence
construction or installation of such Alterations and Landlord has
approved such date in writing, in order that Landlord may post
appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or
material suppliers for payment for Tenant’s improvements.
Tenant will at all times permit such notices to be posted and to
remain posted until the completion of work.
(g) Tenant shall not, at any
time prior to or during the Term, directly or indirectly employ, or
permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer in
the Premises, whether in connection with any Alteration or
otherwise, if it is reasonably foreseeable that such employment
will materially interfere or cause any material conflict with other
contractors, mechanics, or laborers engaged in the construction,
maintenance or operation of the Project by Landlord, Tenant or
others. In the event of any such interference or conflict, Tenant,
upon demand of Landlord, shall cause all contractors, mechanics or
laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Project
immediately.
(h) Tenant shall not use or
employ materials that are susceptible to the growth of mold,
particularly in areas where moisture accumulation is common.
(i) Tenant has notified Landlord
that Tenant desires to (i) make some electrical changes, and
(ii) install partitioned walls in the Premises (collectively,
the “ Initial Alterations ”). Tenant shall have
the right to make the Initial Alterations to the premises, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided that Tenant fully
complies with the terms and conditions of Paragraphs 12(a) through
12(h) above, including, without limitation, the review and approval
by Landlord of detailed plans and specifications and the approval
by Landlord of Tenant’s contractor. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Paragraph 11 above, prior to the
Expiration Date, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, remove the Initial Alterations described in clauses (ii)
and (iii) above and restore the Premises to the condition
existing prior to the construction and installation of the
same.
13. Maintenance
and Repairs of Premises
(a) Maintenance by
Tenant. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole
expense, (i) keep and maintain in good order and condition the
Premises, and repair and replace every part thereof, including
glass, windows, window frames, window casements, skylights,
interior (including the floor and dropped ceiling, but excluding
areas below the floor or above the dropped ceiling) and exterior
doors, door frames and door closers; interior lighting (including,
without limitation, light bulbs and ballasts), the plumbing and
electrical systems exclusively serving the Premises, all
communications systems serving the Premises, Tenant’s
signage, interior demising walls and partitions, equipment,

the Premises (excepting only those portions of the Building or the
Project to be maintained by Landlord, as provided in Paragraph
13(b) below), (ii) furnish all expendables, including light
bulbs, paper goods and soaps, used in the Premises, and
(iii) keep and maintain in good order and condition, repair
and replace all of Tenant’s security systems in or about or

notifies Tenant in writing of its intention to arrange for such
monitoring, cause the fire alarm systems serving the Premises to be
monitored by a monitoring or protective services firm approved by
Landlord in writing. Tenant shall not do nor shall Tenant allow
Tenant’s Agents to do anything to cause any damage,
deterioration or unsightliness to the Premises, the Building or the
Project.
16
(b) Maintenance by
Landlord. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 13(a), 21
and 22, and further subject to Tenant’s obligation under
Paragraph 4 to reimburse Landlord, in the form of Additional
Rent, for Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) of the cost and
expense of the following items, Landlord agrees to repair and
maintain the following items: the roof coverings (provided that
Tenant installs no additional air conditioning or other equipment
on the roof that damages the roof coverings, in which event Tenant
shall pay all costs resulting from the presence of such additional
equipment); the Systems serving the Premises and the Building,
excluding the plumbing and electrical systems exclusively serving
the Premises; and the Parking Areas, pavement, landscaping,
sprinkler systems, sidewalks, driveways, curbs, and lighting
systems in the Common Areas. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 13(a), 21 and 22, Landlord, at its own cost and expense,
agrees to repair and maintain the following items: the structural
portions of the roof (specifically excluding the roof coverings),
the foundation, the footings, the floor slab, and the load bearing
walls and exterior walls of the Building (excluding any glass and
any routine maintenance, including, without limitation, any
painting, sealing, patching and waterproofing of such walls).
Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 13 to the contrary,
Landlord shall have the right to either repair or to require Tenant
to repair any damage to any portion of the Premises, the Building
and/or the Project caused by or created due to any act, omission,
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents
and to restore the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, as
applicable, to the condition existing prior to the occurrence of
such damage; provided, however, that in the event Landlord elects
to perform such repair and restoration work, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith. Landlord’s obligation
hereunder to repair and maintain is subject to the condition
precedent that Landlord shall have received written notice of the
need for such repairs and maintenance and a reasonable time to
perform such repair and maintenance. Tenant shall promptly report
in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to it which
Landlord is required to repair.
(c) Tenant’s Waiver
of Rights. Tenant hereby expressly waives all rights to
make repairs at the expense of Landlord or to terminate this Lease,
as provided for in California Civil Code Sections 1941 and
1942, and 1932(1), respectively, and any similar or successor
statute or law in effect or any amendment thereof during the
Term.
14. Landlord’s
Insurance
Landlord shall purchase and keep in
force fire, extended coverage and “all risk” insurance
covering the Building and the Project. Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, comply with any and all reasonable requirements
pertaining to the Premises, the Building and the Project of any
insurer necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and
commercial general liability insurance, covering the Building and
the Project. Landlord, as an Expense, may maintain “Loss of
Rents” insurance, insuring that the Rent will be paid in a
timely manner to Landlord for a period of at least twelve
(12) months if the Premises, the Building or the Project or
any portion thereof are destroyed or rendered unusable or
inaccessible by any cause insured against under this Lease.
17
15. Tenant’s
Insurance
(a) Commercial General
Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s
expense, secure and keep in force a “broad form”
commercial general liability insurance and property damage policy
covering the Premises, insuring Tenant, and naming Landlord,
Landlord’s investment advisors and agents from time to time,
including, without limitation, UBS and Landlord’s lenders
(collectively, “ Landlord Parties ”) as
additional insureds, against any liability arising out of the
ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. The
minimum limit of coverage of such policy shall be in the amount of
not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for injury or
death of one person in any one accident or occurrence and in the
amount of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for
injury or death of more than one person in any one accident or
occurrence, shall include an extended liability endorsement
providing contractual liability coverage (which shall include
coverage for Tenant’s indemnification obligations in this
Lease), and shall contain a severability of interest clause or a
cross liability endorsement. Such insurance shall further insure
Landlord and Tenant against liability for property damage of at
least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). Landlord may from time
to time require reasonable increases in any such limits if Landlord
believes that additional coverage is necessary or desirable. The
limit of any insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant
hereunder. No policy maintained by Tenant under this Paragraph
15(a) shall contain a deductible greater than Two Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). No policy shall be cancelable or
subject to reduction of coverage without thirty (30) days’
prior written notice to Landlord, and loss payable clauses shall be
subject to Landlord’s approval. Such policies of insurance
shall be issued as primary policies and not contributing with or in
excess of coverage that Landlord may carry, by an insurance company
authorized to do business in the State of California for the
issuance of such type of insurance coverage and rated A-:XIII or
better in Best’s Key Rating Guide.
(b) Personal Property
Insurance. Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect
on all of its personal property, furniture, furnishings, trade or
business fixtures and equipment (collectively, “
Tenant’s Property ”) on the Premises, a policy
or policies of fire and extended coverage insurance with standard
coverage endorsement to the extent of the full replacement cost
thereof. No such policy shall contain a deductible greater than Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). During the Term, the
proceeds from any such policy or policies of insurance shall be
used for the repair or replacement of the fixtures and equipment so
insured. Landlord shall have no interest in the insurance upon
Tenant’s equipment and fixtures and will sign all documents
reasonably necessary in connection with the settlement of any claim
or loss by Tenant. Landlord will not carry insurance on
Tenant’s possessions.
(c) Worker’s
Compensation Insurance; Employer’s Liability
Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense,
maintain in full force and effect worker’s compensation
insurance with not less than the minimum limits required by law,
and employer’s liability insurance with a minimum limit of
coverage of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
(d) Evidence of
Coverage. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of
insurance and true and complete copies of any and all endorsements
required herein for all insurance required to be maintained by
Tenant hereunder at the time of execution of this Lease by Tenant.
Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of
each policy, furnish Landlord with certificates of renewal or
“binders” thereof. Each certificate shall expressly
provide that such policies shall
18
not be
cancelable or otherwise subject to modification except after thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and the
other parties named as additional insureds as required in this
Lease (except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium, in which
event cancellation shall not take effect until at least ten
(10) days’ notice has been given to Landlord).
16. Indemnification
(a) Of Landlord.
Tenant shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
and Landlord’s Agents against and from any and all claims,
suits, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of action and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) arising from
(i) the use of the Premises, the Building or the Project by
Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or from any activity done,
permitted or suffered by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents in or
about the Premises, the Building or the Project, including any mold
or Mold Conditions, and (ii) any act, neglect, fault, willful
misconduct or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or from
any breach or default in the terms of this Lease by Tenant or
Tenant’s Agents, and (iii) any action or proceeding
brought on account of any matter in items (i) or (ii). If any
action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any
such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend the same
at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord,
Tenant hereby releases Landlord and Landlord’s Agents from
responsibility for, waives its entire claim of recovery for and
assumes all risk of (A) damage to property or injury to
persons in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project from
any cause whatsoever (except that which is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s
Agents or by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms
and conditions of this Lease, if such failure has persisted for an
unreasonable period of time after written notice of such failure),
or (B) loss resulting from business interruption or loss of
income at the Premises. The obligations of Tenant under this
Paragraph 16 shall survive any termination of this
Lease.
(b) Of Tenant.
Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant against and from
any and all claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes
of action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees) arising from (i) the gross negligence
of Landlord or from any breach or default in the terms of this
Lease by Landlord (if such breach or default has persisted for an
unreasonable period of time after written notice of such failure),
and (ii) any action or proceeding brought on account of any
matter in item (i). If any action or proceeding is brought against
Tenant by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Tenant,
Landlord shall defend the same at Landlord’s expense by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. The obligations of
Landlord under this Paragraph 16(b) shall survive any termination
of this Lease.
(c) No Impairment of
Insurance. The foregoing indemnities shall not relieve any
insurance carrier of its obligations under any policies required to
be carried by either party pursuant to this Lease, to the extent
that such policies cover the peril or occurrence that results in
the claim that is subject to the foregoing indemnity.
17. Subrogation
Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually
waive any claim against the other and its Agents for any loss or
damage to any of their property located on or about the Premises,
the Building or the
19
Project
that is caused by or results from perils covered by property
insurance carried by the respective parties, to the extent of the
proceeds of such insurance actually received with respect to such
loss or damage, whether or not due to the negligence of the other
party or its Agents. Because the foregoing waivers will preclude
the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation to an insurance
company or any other person, each party now agrees to immediately
give to its insurer written notice of the terms of these mutual
waivers and shall have their insurance policies endorsed to prevent
the invalidation of the insurance coverage because of these
waivers. Nothing in this Paragraph 17 shall relieve a party of
liability to the other for failure to carry insurance required by
this Lease.
18. Signs
Tenant shall not place or permit to
be placed in, upon, or about the Premises, the Building or the
Project any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags,
pennants, banners, advertisements or notices, or erect or install
any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations, or
advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior
the Premises without obtaining Landlord’s prior written
consent or without complying with Landlord’s signage
criteria, as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to
time, and with all applicable Laws, and will not conduct, or permit
to be conducted, any sale by auction on the Premises or otherwise
on the Project. Tenant shall remove any sign, advertisement or
notice placed on the Premises, the Building or the Project by
Tenant upon the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of
this Lease, and Tenant shall repair any damage or injury to the
Premises, the Building or the Project caused thereby, all at
Tenant’s expense. If any signs are not removed, or necessary
repairs not made, Landlord shall have the right to remove the signs
and repair any damage or injury to the Premises, the Building or
the Project at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
19. Free From
Liens
Tenant shall keep the Premises, the
Building and the Project free from any liens arising out of any
work performed, material furnished or obligations incurred by or
for Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within twenty
(20) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the
lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper
bond, Landlord shall have in addition to all other remedies
provided herein and by law the right but not the obligation to
cause same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper,
including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such
sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees)
shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant upon demand. Landlord shall
have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises
any notices permitted or required by law or that Landlord shall
deem proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises, the
Building and the Project, from mechanics’ and
materialmen’s liens. Tenant shall give to Landlord at least
five (5) business days’ prior written notice of
commencement of any repair or construction on the Premises.
20. Entry By
Landlord
Tenant shall permit Landlord and
Landlord’s Agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all
reasonable times, upon reasonable notice (except in the case of an
emergency, for which no notice shall be required), and subject to
Tenant’s reasonable security arrangements, for the
20
purpose
of inspecting the same or showing the Premises to prospective
purchasers, lenders or tenants or to alter, improve, maintain and
repair the Premises or the Building as required or permitted by
Landlord under the terms hereof, or for any other business purpose,
without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to Tenant for
any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby
occasioned (except for actual damages resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord); and Tenant shall
permit Landlord to post notices of non-responsibility and ordinary
“for sale” or “for lease” signs. No such
entry shall be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into,
or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the
Premises. Landlord may temporarily close entrances, doors,
corridors,
