          (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.

     (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.

     (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).

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.

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 ”).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
